Psalm 18:34 It is GOD that girded me with strength;
that made my way perfect
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
whom shall i fear
whom shall i fear
i am yours
Who Am I

what is elitism?there has been so much hype about it. i found a flaw in the Straits Times' survey/article though.according to them, there are currently 11 elite schools..but shouldnt Singapore Sports School and NUS high be included too?LEE YUNHUI, TAKE NOTE!! :) logically, they are elite schools too-people who excel in sports and maths/sciences. anyway, the straits times just bluntly divided society again..but seriously elitism happens everywhere. come to think of it, an elite group is just another example of cliques.as always, tightly-bound cliques are not beneficial but the problem is recurrent one anyway.sigh.
but elite schools do not necessary suit the everyone- yunhui is attempting to fly over to RJC next year from NUS High
charlotte is the latest one in our family to learn an instrument. we have a blooming cellist! shes rather proud of her cello and she practices rather frequently..she looks VERY VERY earnest when practicing, i should totally take a picture soon. so far, 3 pianists, 1 drummer ( is that the correct term?), 1 flautist, 1 blooming cellist :)
Thank GOD for seeing Ashley through his last operation for his chest condition- God has really been gracious throughout the past 2 years in keeping him safe from complications, especially when ashley (being a typical boy) engaged in contact sports when he really isnt supposed to. He is recovering really quickly and he is feeling much better already. the metal bar that was inside him is now in a ziploc bag on his desk..cherie asked him to weigh himself and check if he became LIGHTER after the operation hahaha
im in a very productive mood nowadays

i just got brainwashed today- by Hwa Chong JC..if this keeps up with all the other top JCs, im going to get real confused and muddled soon.
DSA for RJ Chinese Dance is on monday! thank goodness janice informed me..i have 3-4 more days to cheorograph my solo.i need good music and inspiration soon
RJ or Hwa Chong? why does the future for my education seem so difficult? or maybe God has other plans for me and my future
but i really need the DSA for RJ, lest i die of stress OR/AND fatigue from mugging for Os..i think it helps to take out alot of pressure for doing well. but im not pinning too much hope on getting through the auditions, bcos at least i can say i at least tried to DSA before. i wont cry if i dont get through DSA, but you all can bet i will study like anything to ensure i have that safety net

there are so many things we can do for the YF, things that the new ex-co can implement so that our youth ministry can GROW! im really excited about the new structure as well as being part of exco (hopefully, if GOD willing)..so many different individuals coming together and brewing ideas to make youths enthusiastic and fervent in learning more about God..
The past term has been an eye-opener, and has allowed me to forge and strengthen friendships..can i say i didnt learn much? maybe.it seemed like a normal committee, perhaps it was bcos i felt i havent been playing an active role most of the time, always letting the more experienced youths take the lead/initiative
i suppose the sense of inadequacy wont go away for some time, even as there are new challenges set ahead for the exco 0708. Age might not a important factor but there are so many things i can have to learn. Im thankful for all the encouragement and support that friends have given me, making my 1st year in comm a good experience.
Every year is different and brings about new perspectives and frienships. Im excited and thankful for the individuals who have willingly stepped up to serve this time around. Julia and I are still the youngest of the lot, and the ' young' and 'inexperienced' feeling shall linger for a while more
But God uses everyone, no matter how great or small the task is. I thank God for opening yet another opportunity to serve Him in this area, and its really a privilege to do so..looking forward to LR in June and praying that God will continue to give a humble and willing heart to continue serving in this area of ministry (:

such hot humid weather. its makes things so clingy to the skin by the first period in the morning, i want to take a shower already! 3 tests this week, 2 tests next week and mother's day and charlotte's birthday during the weekend not to mention Parent-Teacher Dialogue
Theres a sense of impending doom! i need someone to save me from the lecture and reprimanding look from my form teacher..[not to mention my parents nagging back home to buck up] but i decided to accompany my parents in the end this saturday only because there are exhibition booths showcasing 4JCs, 4 Polytechnics and other institutes regarding overseas education..and i dont want to risk the chance of my teacher telling my parents something strange- like my recurrent dozing-off in bio and emath class :)

i attempted to sleep early yesterday- but my plan towards not dozing off in lectures failed.so here i am, at 11.38pm blogging
random thought:
i feel vulnerable especially when things/personal information that are not meant or directed to people somehow gets passed on to them. its scary how people can find things out about me so easily..the sense of privacy and security is not there already and how can people expect me to give the respect due to them?
im perfectly fine with people im close to know about my personal matters- im willing to openly discuss and share directly, no problems with that at all..isnt there a certain line where we cant cross when we are not comfortable with each other? thats quite obvious to me, rule is: dont try to prod and squeeze things out when i have already clearly stated that i need space and distance fo the time being when it comes certain friendships. how FRUSTRATING!!!!
read the music min's blog just now and glanced through the different levels of communication thing= still doesnt make much sense to me, i dont comprehend how the way people relate to one another can be so distinctly split up into levels..but level 4? i need to differentiate between harmless gossip and constructive opinions/criticsm, anyone care to explain?
BOOK OF THE WEEK!
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. so far, its intriguing enough. the style of the english language complex enough to last me more than a few days. english classics are always so fascinating :)
the youngest person is our home is celebrating her 4th birthday soon! :) need to do some present-shopping
