I LOVE PEANUT BUTTER! i'm dipping my fingers in and eating it now.. yummm hehehe

Beauty

I got inspired! :)

Nice hoh? Haha. I saw the flower on the floor when I was on my way to a class. I couldn't resist it. It was just that one moment in time that you should just squat down, and take some time and enjoy the beauty of something that has been created by Someone Beautiful. I was just reading the bible that one time (THE MSG REMIX) and there was a part where it spoke about how women shouldn't be so caught up with the mirror all the time.( I'm not saying that is wrong. It's always good to look good but just don't get over obsessed. :P) but it went on to say that when they do something beautiful for God, they then become beautiful doing it. How simple and yet awesome that is! :)

Well, I don't think I have to explain the rest of the pictures. The third picture is obviously a picture of my thumb! haha and the last picture is obviously my blue bottle, my blue pen, my blue stapler and my blue Post-it Note! all BLUE!! I love blue! :)

Anyway, church has been awesomely great! I get more and more challenged, inspired and fired up to do even greater. People there are so awesome and they are very on fire for God! All I have to say is WOW. Here are some pictures for you and btw, I met another Joyce in church. haha

Love to Learn! You are born to learn! see studying and gaining knowledge with passion! cos you're made for it! :)

the tunnel

Good morning! I know its like 3:49 am. Can you believe that I can't sleep? I've been sleeping at around this time for the past few days! Mostly because I have to study and well tonight... I haven't really done that very well yet. (and I can't believe I forgot all my mathematics... and vectors is so essential. Man, I think I need extra lessons for it!)

Anyway, I was just thinking and doing some thinking. While praying... I thought of a tunnel. You know how it is that people always say there's a light at the end of the tunnel and that would be your hope that keeps you moving on? Yea.. I was just thinking about that and I realised that yes there's a light but there's more to it than just that light. That light represents Jesus. And He isn't just going to stand there at the end of the tunnel. In actual fact, He didn't just stood there waiting. Instead, He climbed in, crawled into it, reached out to you, guided you through that tunnel and brought you out through it all. When He climbed into that tunnel, basically He came out from where He was and into our world. He walked into our lives when He lives for so much more majesty and He became one of us and yet was the way, the truth and the life.

It's amazing at what time of the day you would receive revelation like this. I find it odd that it's all happening at almost 4 a.m and my brain feels fried... (our lecturer moved so fast on Physics and we all had our jaws dropped...)

Everyday I am thanking Him for where I am. I'm not saying that everyday here is great... the environment here is so different. And you always have to be on your toes in everything that you do. But His convictions, His correction, and the pruning that's been going on is bringing me closer to Him. The one mistake that so many people make is that when they realize their mistakes... they choose to hide away from God and run with the problem instead of coming to God with the problem... When we were saved, we were not that clean and yet He cleansed us. Likewise, we can come to Him, all in mud, and yet He'll wash us off .. that doesn't mean you do the wrong things intentionally over and over again because His mercy endures forever. He isn't dumb you know. =p

I've learnt that an organized life will go far. Call it geeky but I don't know why people are so afraid to show that you are organized. Maybe it's a mindset that if you are organized, you're like a perfectionist but I don't think so. If you're organized, that means you are wise because the complacency of fools will destroy you. Complacency and procrastination don't get you very far... oh wait, in fact it doesn't get you anywhere.

sorry to burst your bubbles friends, but I'd rather burst it than to see it explode. :P

alrithey then.. gotta run... man im getting hungry.

(oh btw... had japanese food just now. rice with soft shell crab and mash potato and soup only costs like... $3.50! hahaha im happy! it's canteen food so its cheap! pls McD's there too!)

guess what???

GUESS WHAT I FOUND!!!!


Oh I'm a happy duck! I am happily munching away this crackers. You don't find this a lot in Brunei... either that or I seriously missed it or something. But I love fish crackers! I love to munch the outside part slowly and gobble up the inside. How do I do that you ask? Come see me here and I'll show ... because I seriously miss home now. It just hit me today. Yea, so long hoh. I miss my sammy. I miss the home cook food and the fact that I don't have to wash my laundry. Cos if you were to see my pile today... you'd know why. HAha... and I have so much to iron!! =( and I am sick of outside food now. Grrr....

Anyway, coming here has already begun to teach me a lot of things. The one thing you should never do is assume that it's going to be the same. Just because the environment is the same... the uni life here is kinda crazy! Who in the world told me that I'll be so free in Uni. Well not in Spore!! You gotta be kidding me man. My whole week is filled with classes! And it's not just Physics that I'm taking. I have to take... CHEMISTRY!! =( now I gotta dig out some passion for chemistry. Sigh... so sad but I have to do this. only for ONE semester! ok ok must still do well la. hehe

Everything here is doing fine. All good and dandy.... just that it is a hassle to travel around here cos it's so far away. (where I'm staying) OK OK... I'm going round and round cos i'm hungry but i dont know what to eat. haha.. OH! CHEESE PRATAA~~ HEHEHEH byeee

Indelible

Walk along here,
feel you move somewhere in front of me
I can't place you with these eyes for the doubt
I can't see

How could someone so beautiful
Feel something for me?
Hold me and love me and touch me again
And show me why I believe

That the first time I see your face
Everything else around me will fade to the background
And I'll be struck, full, by the truth in your gaze
As you work an indelible change in me.

All I have and all I am
And all I think and do
Can find its purpose and meaning
and life only in you

How could someone so beautiful
Feel anything in me?
Won't you hold me and love me and touch me again
And show me why I believe

That the first time I see your face
Everything around me will fade to the background
And I'll be struck, full, by the truth in your gaze
As you work an indelible change in me.
