Luke 17: 11 - 37
- The Israelites were God's Chosen Nation, yet they rejected God and abandoned His ways and God extended His love to the Gentiles as well. Sometimes, it's those people that you expect something in return who disappoint you and sometimes it's those people whom you do not expect anything who surprises you.
- Jesus told the ten lepers to "Go and be healed". And indeed, they first need to go, before they can be healed. The importance of obedience.
- The kingdom of God is in the midst of you, manifested in Jesus himself and the kingdom as people who are following Jesus.
- Jesus will come in a very obvious way, just like how the lightning lights up the sky. So don't follow any other false teachings about Jesus coming in a mysterious way.
- The day that the Son of Man is revealed, may be like 'just any other day', that we are all doing our daily routines and all. Also found in somewhere else in the bible where it says the Son of Man will come like a thief in the night, catching people unaware and offguard.
- Do not turn back that day when the Son of Man comes. Forget about all the earthly belongings. There's more upstairs (: and these will last.

Charm is deceptive
Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised (:
Acts 16
- The churches were strengthened in their faith and grew larger every day (v5)
- Timothy's father is a Greek (i.e., he's not a pure Jew) yet God is able to use Timothy in an amazing way to do His work. Reminds me again that God does not need perfect people, but rather He works through imperfect people to show how great He is. Like how Jesus called the fishermen to be His disciples, those who were the 'outcast'/'bottom' of society.
- Paul and Silas travelled through Phyrgia and Galatia because the Holy Spirit prevented them from preaching the word in Asia. Paul and Silas went through Mysia to the seaport of Troas because the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them to head north for the province of Bithynia. Sometimes, life really doesn't go our way. But it always and will forever follow God's ways. Something cliche, but the saying God's ways are higher than our ways, and if you can't see God's ways, feel his hands (or something along this line hehe). Yup simple yet profound.
- Truly, God has already prepared Lydia to accept Paul's message, and she extended hospitality to Paul and Silas by inviting them to stay in her house.
- The famous earthquake that set Paul and Silas free in prison. They were publicly stripped and beaten with wooden rods :( just because Paul commanded the demon in the girl to leave her in the name of Jesus (and because the demon knew the Only way to salvation). Paul and Silas could have declared that they were Roman citizens and then they do not have to go through the beating and shame. But they didn't. Hmmm...
- If they did, they wouldn't have met the jailer. The jailer would not have the chance to listen to the Word and be saved, that he and his entire household would not have been baptized. Bad things do work out to become good things in God's plan. (: and also this is another testimony of the power of God, who sent this earthquake to free Paul and Silas.
- Don't be ashamed of the Word of God, for it has to Power to give life, the Power to save. Blessed are those who understand the Word of God. Because it is truly a gift, and grace from God :)

bukit panjang govt high band
Hi! Chanced upon this disc of 2002 band comp video. which i can't remember who lent it to me (but apparently i should have returned to disc teehee). and it was hilarious!! bowen's drum major's major moment. hehe!! :D
And all that said, it brings me back to those days. Stayed back in school for countless band pracs? And i remember before it is our turn, we always have to prepare ourselves when the other band's still doing their show. Really miss the sec 1 and sec 2 times. So much to remember :)
Isn't it scary that your whole life is actually made up of what you remember and what you don't? And its also kinda amazing that there are certain things that no matter how many years have passed, they'll forever be in my mind.

j'aime faire du shopping et manger! :D
see how well i remember my francais! :D
Manz, full max! Had delifrance dinner with rachel (by the way we shared one main course hahah budget max) then came home and had a jelly ice cream plus finished the mango cupcake from yesterday and the sushi from two days ago :/ oops. cannot accumulate food like how you accumulate readings) and so i'm FULL MAX NOW!!!!
Bought a pretty clock today!! :D which makes me a happy girl :D teehee. And had a nice time out at bugis today though was really tired from that shopping. Many nice things around but too bad money is not all around. hehe.
Yes been reflecting about life, and rachel kind of reminded me that we should indeed be grateful that we manage to get into local u. In her words, life is not easy (and then she said something about challenges oops forgot the exact words). But i come to appreciate all that has happened in my life! Feel like i learn a lot. hehe

Je suis etudiant en psychologie
BONJOUR! :D j'aime francais, mais c'est difficile bien :(
so it's back to speaking english. haha i really like psychology too, but i realize that i really dislike the bio part. somehow i just cannot remember those terms, or rather i need to spend like extra effort remembering the names of those terms and how it's spelt and which one falls under what. which is just ridiculous. prefer my human motivation so much more and cognitive psych without the serotonin, acetylcholine, dopamine, hetamine whatever. HAHA!
human motivation is very interesting! except that there's quite a lot of overlap and all. kinda confusing. a few more days to go michelle tan! THEN WATER FOR ELEPHANTS! hehehee. :D
anyways kinda strange that i woke up with a sore throat given that the night before didn't have sore throat at all. but thank God its not as bad now! :D

A BIG shoutout to michelle tan, my one and only reader of this blog!! MUAHA. Today is stay home day 2! Abnormal psych is unbelievable tedious to read :/ and i honestly feel that this year's elections are like more like a 'big deal' than the other times!! hahaha. Too bad we can't vote!
Bakery story and Restaurant story have become my good friends!! :D
In essence, this is just a meaningless post. HAHA. A place where i can be free of brain activity for a moment! :D

Dreams
It's been a long time blog! Bonjour!! Actually french is really a nice and elegant language, maybe just that its really not easy studying it in such a short time :p hehehehe
I really like that dreams tell you what you subconsciously are concerned/thinking about. Though the content may not exactly be something that makes sense, but the very least, the people that appear in the content is really who you are thinking about during the day.
Have you ever woke up and really felt thank God this didn't happen in real life and then gain a new perspective on things? haha it's a little like grace to me, I feel that i could feel/experience what would have happened if certain things turned out the certain way that i didnt want it to turn out. And then you really start to change your attitude. hehe
SO GLAD SCHOOL'S GONNA BE OUT SOON! :D somehow this semester, is (like all other sems), fast yet slow. like, it's over already?! haha. but i'm really glad that this semester is over, maybe timetable wise. the timetable really isn't good :p but okay lah still survived through it :)
Time to switch to mugging mode soon!! And i really like human motivation hehe though it's quite cheem.
And i think my writing is so lousy compared to michelle's writing :( but i don't have enough intellect juices to refine my writing here!! hehe save that for assignments :D
Au revoir!
