After soo long...

Ya... After about a month... I've finally decided to update my little space.
A's are over for about 1 week plus already... 1 week... did some exciting stuffs...

Just went to this "Millionaire-Minded" seminar... Ha... Why was I there? 3 full days! 9am-11pm everyday! But nope... I didn't commit myself to it.. Left for cell on friday night, sat service on sat afternoon, and went for service plus choir prac on sunday..
The speaker was this guy called T.Harv Eker and this Robert guy... "T." stands for "The one and only". OK... If you know me, you would know that i am not interested in getting wealthy... Was there becoz i got a free ticket from my uncle... But i learnt something anyway...
It was a holistic training... Training you to be wealthy and to be compassionate... Well... Joined whenever i can to learn how he motivates, teaches and influences the 5000 over people. OK... I dun deny the fact that i don't understand why ppl pays 1000 over dollars to listen to him. And his other programs and courses costs 5000 and above! Like... Woo... Didn't sit with my uncle and cousins on the 2nd day.. Decided to mingle around with these weird ppl. And ha... Met some cool ppl.. Well talking about meeting ppl... I saw an NY tutor, 4 church friends, 1 ex-politician, 1 actress...
Changed my perceptions of getting wealthy... Learnt some stuffs about money management as well.. Well... But seriously... I went there to expose myself and gain a broader perspective to what is happening in the world. Well.. A chance to listen to a world-class speaker... Why not? Learnt some of the stuffs that may be useful in the future... :)
Both Harv and Robert are talented speakers. :) Wanna know what i learnt? Ask me personally k...

Before the seminar was a birthday celebration with my SOT friends on thursday... Really enjoy their companionship so soo much... We talked about some spiritual stuffs. I really believes in spirits that are beyond the human realm. Spirits that are capable of harming and protecting us. But currently, I only know of a spirit, the Holy Spirit of God that was sent to "convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned. " John 16:8-11. The day i decided to believe in Christ, I am made righteous by the blood of Christ. Something that I have learnt. Will update about this again. Ya... Spirits... I only know of this Holy Spirit who will never... NEVER harm those He loves. The only One i can trust... Will explore more about the Holy Spirit... But recently i have some cool teachings from my friends like Jia Yi and Tracy... About their faiths... Always remind me about how i learnt from Suhaimi.. :)

My boss didn't go for the celebration becoz he was grouchy that day. Boss.. Ya... From monday to wednesday, I was being exploited as a child labour at SOT. Ok... I wasn't exploited... Didn't expected to get paid anw... Ha... Was settling the fees that we owe Old Tong.. How much do we owe him in total? About 42 000! Ha.. Learnt what it was like to be an accountant, a MARIA (becoz i was like a maid, helping him run some silly errands like paying fines!), and an architect.. Yup.. I can't draw... Ha... Went to a meeting with Miss Kuik and Uncle with a group of architects.. Enjoy listening to these adults talk and discuss.. (HEY! I am an adult already!) They are a group of Christians as well.. No boss... Just same interests and got together.. A concept like SOT.. Ha... Maybe will start a buiness with some pals with similar interest soon.. (Well.. I've a millionaire mind now!) Told my gang of NY friends that we can start a Child of Thought... A child care centre! Ha.. I love kids below 4.. Oh well... Ya... Had my first job the week after my exams! And my first boss is quite cool.. Ha..

Went to the bird park last sunday! Family Day with my Papa, Mama, Didi, 6 Uncle, 6 Auntie, cousins and...... my AH MA!!!!!!! hee... Is there a case for bird parks? Yes! Who cares about what that bird is called... Places like bird parks are cool place for outings... I was thinking if i should post the photos online... But... I feel weird posting photos on my blog... Wanted to take the previous photos down as well... But i didn't... But... Still decided that i am not going to post photos up anytime soon... Unless i go for a seminar called "POST YOUR PHOTOS MINDED"... Ha... The 3 days in the millionaire minded seminar has drove me crazy...

Went for my cousin's wedding after my hist paper... Yup... Last friday was my cousin's wedding.. So fun... Make me wanna get married too :) Still praying for my future husband! Haha... Talking about husband... He must be able to pronounce PAGEONE the same was as I do... One of the requirements... Becoz it will mean we have the same frequency!

The A's had been a fun experience... I think i am strange.. Becoz i used the word FUN... Ha... Ya... It was nice walking through this journey with ppl who loves you and getting closer with ppl around you... Yup... It has been a truly meaningful journey...
1st: I got closer to some of my friends in SOT... They are one of the most valuable gifts in this A's journey... The private candidates, my classmates... I know that i will miss them...

2nd: I've come to realise the tutors around me who loves me... I had a five paper week on my first week of exams... And before every single of my papers, we prayed... Ah Pei and Uncle prayed with me the night before my 1st paper, Chi paper one... Lin lao shi gave me a hug before i went in for the exam and they(lin lao shi and zhuang lao shi) waited outside when we finished.. Met up with Uncle before the GP exam, and Miss Darrell prayed and gave me a hug before i went into the exam hall.. Miss Lorraine prayed for me through the phone before my Chi paper two..(i was sooo nervous!) Huang Lao Shi sent Chen Yan Tong Lao Shi to give me a hug and Zhang Lao Shi gave me a pat on my back before i went in.. And both of the stood outside after our papers too! Ok... Miss teo din give me a hug before math paper... But i know she loves me... so it's ok.. And last but not least, Mr Mao prayed for us before we went in for history exam... It was a week of back to back papers but a week of me understanding how much these tutors love me..

But most importantly... It has been a faith-building experience... I learnt to love first before everthing else... "If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing." 1 Corinthians 13:2.. Have been praying for wisdom, learning not to doubt, trusting that God will bring me through this exam again.. But soon... I learnt that so what if i do well? If i have not love those around me... I am nothing... NOTHING... David-God's Beloved... Ya... That's what my name means... As God's Beloved, i wanna spend my life sharing His love... Forgive me for the times when i failed to love... Faith-Building... Becoz this journey had been one where i walked with God, i just need to trust that my results are already in His hands... I have tried... 2 years... I am already out of my JC... God has taught me soo much... Brought so many important people into my life... Will miss them...

Recently... Ppl have been commenting that i won't survive next time... Even uncle says that... But he says i will learnt to... That's why he asked me to consider SMU... Will do... But... Why?
I realised that the road of following Christ makes me look silly sometimes... "I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves." Matthew 10:16 I told uncle the other day that i just cannot reconcile the idea of being a snake and a dove at the same time... Was talking to wei wen ge on sat night(ha... skipped the millionaire night session.. but... learnt quite a lot from him!)... I don't deny the grooming part is important.. Oh... Uncle mentioned too that he wanna teach me how to groom myself so that i dun mess up my interview... But ok... i will learn... But about the survival part... I don't need affirmation from man... If i have been giving some ppl such perception.. then i am sorry... Learnt that whatever i do, as long as i am glorifying Daddy, that's enough... I'm accountable to Him... Affirmation from ppl i treasure is important.. Discouragements from others may affect me... But i'm learning to take things positively... :) Was telling Roy the other day that nobody is depriving me of the rights of being upset when ppl say or do certain things.. But it is how i respond after a faces my emotions that matters ultimately.. Still learning... Talk is cheap... Action speaks louder than words.. :) Will learn...

I am justified by the blood of Christ once! Once and for all, saved! But the sanctification process is for life... Walking with Jesus, learning to be like Him... You will really get influenced by the person you spent most time with... Really! Especially those you love.. I wanna get influence by Christ :)

Will update again... I am teaching a new tution kid ENGLISH! Meeting up with my disciples too... Must prepare some stuffs before beggining the next week filled with excitement!:)

Shall share a Psalm:
Psalm 34
Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he left.
1 [a] I will extol the LORD at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
2 My soul will boast in the LORD;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.

3 Glorify the LORD with me;
let us exalt his name together.

4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.

5 Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.

6 This poor man called, and the LORD heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.

7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.

8 Taste and see that the LORD is good;
blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

9 Fear the LORD, you his saints,
for those who fear him lack nothing.

10 The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

11 Come, my children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

12 Whoever of you loves life
and desires to see many good days,

13 keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from speaking lies.

14 Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive to their cry;

16 the face of the LORD is against those who do evil,
to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.

18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

19 A righteous man may have many troubles,
but the LORD delivers him from them all;

20 he protects all his bones,
not one of them will be broken.

21 Evil will slay the wicked;
the foes of the righteous will be condemned.

22 The LORD redeems his servants;
no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him.
