Today, I went to Msia High Com. it was so nice! like a big house! at first, I thought it was until my dad dropped us of there in the the morning & mum went to get the pass. It looked splendid! the architecture, the buig tree where it rests on a bed of white petals, the "waterfall". nice! inside, it was super cold in the morning for the air con's sttrong and it looks like a polyclinic. many seats, that electronic board with the queue number...haha. it's not that bad, okay? so, went to make passport, then travelled to vivo cos mum wants to go to a shop there, then went back ot High Com to collect passport, off to tuition then cell. that was how today was spent! below are some pics of the high com!

When all the passport-making (not incl collection) is done, it was only 9am! and i wanted to study. so guess where i went? Not BK in vivo but the playground! there were some tables and chairs that don't belong to any food outlet. so i just sat there, lay out my things and happily study! i was definitely happy that i don't need to buy anything so i can hav a seat to study. after a while, i realised it was for parents to sit while their children play. well, no parents were fighting for them so i was fine! =)

early in the morning, no kids were there. but at arbd 10am, 1 family came. subsequently, more came. i sat in front of the fountain so i could see the kids playing and getting splashed and all wet! it's like they were showering! haha. undoubtedly, i got attracted to them but i also did concentrate at most times! one of the things i took back is that one of the best photos to take of your kids is in this scene--when they are playing with water from the fountain! imagine the splash of the water and the smile/giggle of the child captured on picture! and their natural smile and intrigued mind, oh! what a picture! that it'll simply put a smile on your own face goo! i'll definitely bring my children there while they are young adn take lots of phtots! of their daring selfs!

ate a pastamania that afternoon for lunch. and when i asked for a plastic bag for my drink, look!

they gave me this! it was a paper-made carrier. environmental friendly, yes. but it was hard to carry up the bus cos the drink's exposed. so had to hide in my bag. nonetheless, it's interesting and worth noting! =)

then, at tuition, Hui Ming gave each of us in my clique a persent! there were 4 photos inside. our photos that we took on Wed! nice! i wanted to print and give them wan but she did it first. oh well. thank you so much Hui Ming! got a note for me too! really appreciate it! loves! Thank God I"d such wonderful friends! below is a picture that we took..at S11 foodcourt at orchard after tuition on wed!

cell today was the last lesson for our series--sermon on the mount. it's wondreful and insightful! st john st margaret church wrote it! the previous series that we did on--daniel--was from tat church too! and the good thing is that it has the application part. it's not jus head knowledge but application. the conculsion lesson was really great! an in-depth recap of the lessons we learnt right from the start of matt 5:1 to matt 7:12. reminded me about what each beautitude means, salt and light (the central focus of sermon on mount), "fulfilment of law"--to bring in the love aspect etc (rom 13:10) etc.

the last lesson was from matt 7:13-24. 3 analogies:

1. the raod was narrow--so be focused, life won't be easy, we'll definitely struggle
2. the tree and it's fruits--"do the will of the Father", be fruitful
3. Wise and foolish builders--the one that strike me the most--"puts them[the word[ into practice. where is your foundation on? on Christ and His Word that is the solid rock? and the testing reminds me of wad we learn on sunday's JPTN on 2nd coming/rapture. about judgement based on the deeds that we Christians have done, not on our salvation..

the wise and foolish builder story and moral behind really spoke to me adn reminded me that i need to build my life upon God's Word and not on any other things that are shifting sand. it made me reflect on the things and action that i'd odne so far, and the thoughts and attitudes that i conducted myself. indeed, i admit that there were times when i was wrong. and it's time for a turn-back, girl! it's time for a turn-back. finally, we were talking about the word "believe". to believe is not jus to accept but to act and practise what you believe; the substance of faith. so, knowing this, re-look at John 3:16! Do you believe?

well, all in all, thank God for this material and JPTN cell! =)

alirght. back tracking a little, jus want to thank God for seeing me thru my downs and confusing moments this week. thank God fro speaking to me through a book that i read on finding God's will. thru it, He reminded me about seomthing i learnt--God is sovereign even over ht edecision that we make. and He will plan out in such a way that His will is fulfilled in due time. so no worrys, Sharon! yet, it also means that if i made a choice that isn't waht God wants me to make, I'll suffer consequences as a result of my actions. lyk wad Khalis says: actions and consequences are in a complete package!

finally, another down period is this: scored 31.5% for my H3 maths. i was shocked and stunned. i knew i would fail but not so badly. sigh. it put me down. but i wasn't down primarily over my marks but over my h2 subjects. that night when i got back my results, i looked back and saw the little effort and ill-disciplined me at night and started to get depressed and despaired.losing hope and questioning myself if i can meak it for my A's was wad was on my mind. and mind you, i'm talking about my h2 subjects not my h3 paper. sigh. it was reall upsetting but i thank God that He pulled me thru. feeling better now. guess i shldn't let such thoughts enter me now! don't lose hope, Sharon! and stand strong on you own 2 feet! press on! =))

alrighty. tat's all i gotta say. if you see many typo mistakes, sorry. i typed this in a rush. gotta rush off now! take care! and do keep me in prayers! esp over my spiritual walk! thank God for watching over aunty Janet too! miracle! Hallelujah!
