long time no blog =)

Long time no post! Reason being there's been so much going on =) Most important for me being my baptism! Was so clearly reminded of God's infinite grace and love for us, His perfect timing, and He answers prayers according to His good and perfect will!!! He really really does hear our prayers, and loves us so much...He does what is best for us all the time, even when it may not seem like it at the time!

Two to three years ago, i wanted to get baptised. I went through the baptism classes, and talked to my pastor, and got prepared, but as a mark of love and obedience to my family, i reluctantly waited to get baptised at a later date. A few months ago, it occurred to me that this time round was "it", but even though along the way God gave me assurance time and again, i was nervous and unsure. But God is so loving and powerful, hearing my prayers and moving hearts. My dad came along too, which was quite unexpected!! All my fears were unneeded because God was, always is, and always will be, in control =) We have nothing to fear from this world, and should not worry but trust in the Lord.

Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?

Thanks to all the people who were present at the ceremony!! It truly meant a lot to see u there! I'll put some photos up =) hehe i didnt have a camera...thanks heaps to those who took photos for me, and sent them to me so quickly!!! much appreciated =)

hehe there are more photos...mite put them up later!

hmm other than that i havent been up to too much else this summer break so far. been working, meeting up with friends, tidying up my room. about time i did hehe so much stuff lying here and there!! didnt realise i had so much =P ah well it's that which makes tidying up a room so much fun hehe! at tutoring lately, as well as through watching current affairs programs on tv, i've been realising how quickly kids today are growing up and maturing...like bulimia nervosa at the age of six?!?! wondering about what a condom is at the age of eight?!?! personally, im finding it worrying and somewhat scary and daunting...so is the recent violence in our society. i don't think there will truly be peace on earth unless there is peace with its wonderful creator God.

ohh another thing is exam marks! so happy and relieved! really thanking God for carrying me through! now for once i can look forward to the new year with excitement, cause there will be so much yay! so didn't deserve the marks got, overloading this past semester and being involved quite a bit outside of uni, too little studying done, too much left to the cramming period just before the assignments were due and exams hit. God is just so great!

been a bit bored these past few days (except for today, going out for lunch and running errands) cause i was under house arrest. hehe due to food poisoning! wonder what caused it hmm...but happy that it wasnt the bacteria that causes vomiting!! fever subsided after an evening and night, but i still get stomach pains occasionally. hehe been eating congee again =P
