someday we'll know

i just thank GOD for the opportunity
to share a little of my faith with someone i care about.

just remember,
i just hope,
irregardless of the quantity
somewhere in your heart a seed will grow
GOD will give the increase.

no stress, no stress, no stress

okay, i didn't study today at all.
all i thought of today was sleeping
and missing mission trip.

BFFFF please upload the photos of the trip sooon
so i can cheer myself up when
studying gets me sick.

sunday's message got me thinking too
what's my purpose of going church?
am i giving HIM respect that's due?

been brainstorming for new ideas for YF activites,
i can wait for a fresh new start man.

other then that, monday's papers were a killer.
i so lacked the perseverence to write countless essays.
i felt abit gong after the whole day though, heh.
gotta work hard.

we have a choice

i didn't expect you to have such an impact on me.

if i had to spell it out,
you certainly taught me how to be proud of my faith,
even if it seems ridiculous to others.

looking forward to tmr,
screw the studying.

i'm leaving on a jet plane, wishing i didn't come back

i'm back from my 8 day long trip to cambodia.
it's only a week long trip,
but yet so meaningful, so touching, so special.
it got me reflecting my life through.
we didn't do extraordinary stuff.
we didn't have extraordinary people.
but we had an extraordinary GOD
and we had an extraordinary time.

non-mission trippers prolly won't understand
the emotions i'm going through
or the hype about the whole trip.
but sometimes, seeing is believing.
sometimes, being there does make the difference.
but im sure we all felt the same way
when the photos flashed
on the pulpit this morning.
or when nigel shared his testimony.
or when we presented our item.

i really wanna thank GOD and my parents
for allowing me to go for this trip.
i wanna thank Pr. Mat for leading us.
i wanna thank my room buddies.
i wanna thank my fellow buddies.
i wanna thank everyone who's involved in this trip somehow or rather.
