I've been feeling down ,
really really really down .
Like down to the bottomless pit down .
(you get the point)
and through worship songs ,
through friends ,
through Church ,
I've found comfort .
I don't really know how this comfort I felt could be expressed .
I believe that God spoke through them .
For example,
my brother's friend ,
she never read my blog(don't know the URL) ,
it's been quite a long while since we chatted ,
and poof ,
she sent me an offline msn conversation about 2 verses .
PSALM 23:1-2(:
and asked if I'm doing fine and thought this verse would keep me going .
(Incredible thing is, SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH !)

Thank God .

He splashed orange in the sunrise
and cast the sky in blue
And if you love to see geese as they gether,
chances are you'll see that too.

Did he have to make the squirrel's tail furry?
Was he obliged to make the birds sing?
And the funny way that chickens scurry
or the majesty of thunder when it rings?

Why give a flower fragrance? Why give food its tastes?
Could it be
he loves to see
that look upon your face?

A sad case,

my 3rd brother,

QQ,

was involved in a police case which was not minor.
He had underage sex with one of his girlfriend(i dont know how are they related actually).

That girl's 16 years of age, Happy New Year to him.
That girl made a police report against QQ and he was informed to go to the subordinate court.

At that point of time,

my mom was seriously breaking down,

so,

as a fillial daughter,

i missed school and went with her together with QQ.

The atmosphere was breath-taking and the judge whom is a female,

was so scary that she made my mom cried.
Dont laugh.

Haha.

I still remember before the hearing started, my mom said,"got pray for your brother?"

I was like,"WHAT?!" for your information, she's a freethinker but more to the buddhism side.
So,

the day ended,

thank God that QQ's was sentenced to probation and serving social works.

Finally, after a couple of weeks,

the police called my house while i was sound asleep.

You know how mothers yell at their kids, so i woke up, duh.

The police informed me that my big brother met with a motorcycle accident because of drink driving.

Of course mom and i rushed out of the house immediately.

Brushed my teeth of course.

It was so depressing and irritating.

Big problems coming after another.
Regardless how people try to convince me,

im still stubborn in thinking

"God, this is so unfair. What have i done to suffer all these things? You're so bias."

I know its dumb.

There was nothing i could do but sit back,

pray and watch my big brother suffering.

He did'nt want my help, wassup with that guy?!

Now he recovered.
I went to Church camp with a not-supposed-to-have heart.

I was in a love relationship a month ago during all that attacks,

i was so wrong to turn to the wrong solution.

I was so blessed during YI camp and i learnt so much.

So i decided to mark an end to that love relationship.
After camp,

it was a very normal but tiring day.

There's good news!!!

Firstly, i got the Good Progress Award, $150!

And my mom was called by someone in our church to go for a dinner at COSBT.

She did not reject, she was willing to go.

But in the end, didnt go cause it was raining.

For my love relationship, i just ended it last midnight.

Thank God because it was supposed to end earlier, but the guy do not want it.

So hard.

However, last midnight, it was so easy.

Although its saddening,

i believe that God can heal my wounds completely with His love for me!

Praise God!

I remembered the first day i was working as a sales promoter.
Although, it has no commission or any incentives, i could not sell more than 12 things everyday. Then, i tried seeking God for help. Worse came to worse. A customer took many stuffs from my stall, and i was giggling. The customer walked away with my stuffs. I was thinking ' God you are so awesome'. In the end that customer came back and put the things he took back at my stall. I was so disappointed. I thought God was really that awesome, but it changed my thoughts. God only wants you to see the success, and you have to work very hard to achieve that result. From there onwards, I started to grab hold all the opportunities that i had.
I sought help from my colleagues and my sales started to increase each day. I was so delighted. I had an enthusiastic feeling in my heart everyday i went to work. Sometimes i felt very bored, I did not have the mood to serve the customers. I started to slack all the way. I tried to buck up but i can't. I know that it was the devil keeping me from working harder. I started praying to God. I thought God didnt help me, soon, many customers came to my stall. I forced myself to attend to the many customers. Bit by bit, I gained my confidence back. I slowly found that God was really awesome. HaHa.

Hi! I just wanna give glory for what God had done during new year!
My parents went to Malaysia during New Year's Eve to visit my grandmother. Then, on new year's day, my dad and mom were driving on the south-north highway on their way back to Singapore that night.
According to them, it was pitch dark and it was a really hilly road. so, they were driving up... down.. and then up again. because it was dark & they were driving up a hill, they couldn't really see what was in front of them. & with the car's light, all they could see was one car length in front of them and so, it didn't help much. :( yeah, in front of them was a stationary car that was involved in a crash about 10 minutes before. (a mother & a son died in that accident) & when my> parents saw that car, they had only a few seconds to react!> > My dad's reaction was quite fast! (haha) ^^
He turned the wheel to the> left & then to the right to avoid the car. That caused the car to spin for one round! & they headed the drain. "Thank God it was a soft landing" mom said :D It wasn't that serious at that time. They had some bruises. My mom and dad rushed out leaving everything behind including the PASSPORT> (-.- no passport = you nobody!) and hid behind a lorry that was about 40m away in case their car explodes. (the lorry was also involved in the previous accident.)
Then i think my dad realised that they left the passports & all the important things behind, so he ran back to the car. My mom didn't have her specs on that time.. (cos of the strong impact of the crash, her specs flew to the back seat & she didn't have the time to retrieve it) & because it was so dark, she could not see where my dad went. :\ She heard screeching sounds of a car spinning and crashing into something. So my mom got worried and screamed for dad. But no reply.
Apparently, my dad was in aftershock, etc etc, that he fell down while going to the car & he broke his arm because of that. :( it had nothing to do with the crash! :) thank God! then dad got up and ran back to my mom uttering really really sweet things. (privacy! ^^) Two other cars also crashed my dad's car. & dad's car was all SMASHED. Then i think they waited for a little while when the police, medics, etc came. YEAH.
So i really wanna thank God for giving my dad fast reaction! if not, my dad would hit the car in front of him & then have to pay for all the damages! I wanna thank God for protecting my parents & allowing them to land softly! I wanna thank God for strengthening my parents' marriage because of this accident! & I wanna thank God for everything la!!!! If He wasn't with my parents at that time, I could have lost them. ):
You people may think that its a bad thing that my dad got injured.. ok, its bad. but not all that bad! because if my dad didn't get injured, my parents would have to stay on the highway for like 10 hrs & have no free transport back!> &&& i believe all these happened because God wants to teach my parents smth! ^^ & the best thing is that my mom have been going around praising God and telling her testimony to relatives! She even said, 'its like God is telling us, its not time yet!' so there must be more that God wants to do through them! & thank God for wanting to use them too!! :D:D
PRAISE GOD FOR EVERYTHING! including my 3points for N level! hahahahahaha~!
Honour God & He will honour you! :D

it was when i was in indonesia before camp. I wasnt broke but i was given 200.000 rupiah by my dad (thats about 26+ bucks, can buy plenty of things)so i went to church, there was offering.
my 200.000 "bucks" were made up of 4 50.000 "bucks"no small change, and 50.000 "bucks" could buy me 2 plates of fried rice, in restaurant.
so i gave 50.000.didnt really think about what i'd gain by doing this, but i know that God prompted me to do it.and guess what?my friend treated me to a meal, a movie, a lunch and a coffee.. and there were some additional belanja from my other friends.
gee God is good yea?

Testimony- MARCUS :)

OK!!!

I'm posting my testimony.

OK, my first testimony is about my English oral.

When i'm was preparing for my oral in a classroom,

i was very nervous and so,

i walked around the class to cool myself down.

Then,

when i look at the classroom notice board i saw a Bible verse and my confidence received a boost..

i forgotten what verse le..

so i sat down and pray a short prayer that GOD will let me understand the picture,

let me speak well in my oral conversation and God to guide me.
So when its my turn,

I just read the passage smoothly without even pausing and during the conversation,

the teacher said good good than my heart SIBEI SONG..

and inside thanking GOD.

hahas so later finish liao i keep on thanking GOD and sang praise song..

PRAISE THE LORD...

it really boosts up my faith also.

My second testimony is about my mom...

she's having some sort of stupid stuff in her stomach and she always say she stomachache,

so the doctor said that she need to go for an operation after CHINESE NEW YEAR..

and i told my church friend about this,

he ask me to pray,

and so i pray.. after CHINESE NEW YEAR

i realised that she did not go for the operation and she doesn't have any stomachache,

so i asked her and she said that the doctor said that she dont need to go for the operation,

I was shocked and i recalled that I've prayed a prayer for my mother so I THANKED GOD for that too..
but she say that the doctor has not confirmed that she would need to go for the operation or not. But i know something is changing and i know that GOD is helping me,

so i need to pray hard HAHHA..

PRAISE THE LORD..
I learnt that we must PRAY because PRAYER IS IMPORTANT and PRAYER CAN CHANGE THINGS.

GOD IS A HEALER TOO WEE~~

My third Testimony is about my chinese oral :D

Same case, i was worried and so i prayed a short prayer too but luckily the oral no picture conversation, only reading and some stupid conversation.

OK!! HERE GOES,
its my turn..

I am scared..

but the way the teacher talk to me seems so funny..

so, during face to face conversation,

he asked me if I saw a old woman,

will I help her or not blah blah blah la..

So, later he asked me a question...

i forgotten what question le so i told him that my church went to thailand to tell others about Jesus and to HEAL PEOPLE using GOD's POWER by praying for them.

And i said that MY GOD CAN HEAL PEOPLE even if its a small injury so the examiner show me his small injury in his hand and ask me whether MY GOD can heal him or not,

AND I SAID YES OF COURSE,

so the examiner do not believe me so i tell him about my MOM situation which is the second testimony and he say really meh~
later,

I dont know why my tears drop down wa I SIBEI SCARED the examiner also scared LOL.

He said u want tissue or not,

dont tell people i bully u leh..

but i didn't care since i was confuseed why i cried..

so i told Ronald about this and he said that I AM TOUCHED BY GOD..

so i straight away WA....

PRAISE GOD..

That's the first time i cried during oral,

its a memorable experience..

WAHAHA..

i've learnt that GOD CAN LET ME EXPERIENCE THINGS THAT I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE. PRAISE GOD..

This is just a short testimony from me.

Today, i had a medical check-up at SGH.

I'm supposed to bring my health booklet but i thought that it was with my mum.

So i woke up today and asked her for it.

She looked in her cupboard but couldn't find it.

I started to panic.

Then my mum went off for work.

I started looking frantically around the house for the booklet.

After 20 mins of searching,

i sat down on my bed and started to pray desperately for it.

Then i got up, went to my father's study and found it at the shelf.

I really thank God for that.

Managed to reach SGH on time.
