Week 82-83
Eventful 2 weeks. Just finished watching the last episode of "Dicey Business" on Channel U, which kinda was the culmination of Week 83. Here's the theme song by seasoned Canto singer Hacken Lee, personally liked it. (:
Week 82 - CNY + Make up/Catch up lessons
Breakthroughs and more humblings. CNY period was a good time of catching up with my relatives, especially those who i hardly keep in contact/talk to. Really thank God for all the prunings leading up to this. One thing though, it's only the beginning. Pray for more breakthroughs in family.
CG and some unit bros and siss also came visiting, very blessed indeed. I was busy 3 days, visiting every day till the end of the 3rd day when we're just fatigued by all the bai nian-ing that we realise (ahh. need to work/sch/normal life tmr).

The rest of the week was equally hectic, with make up lessons taking up what would have been empty slots. 3 days to do things of 5 days? Distasteful. Ahh... here i am again, griping and yakking. God had something to say, of course.
Week 83 - Amidst the midterms, memory work and half time air, a bout of blocked guns and sinus attacks. again.
Not for the first time, my guns were at it again. I began the week cursing the weather and woe-ing those who were burning forests and polluting the air. After nagging at my mum not to succumb to cravings of leftover CNY snacks and late night stayups, God first made a breakthrough when my mum told me on Monday she has made practical steps to make sure she gets rest. (:
Then God allowed me to have another sinus inflamatory attack. Horrigible. (example of bad english) Now, i must confess efficiency immediately drops a few notches. Going for lessons with a blocked,mucus-filled nose that refills itself up after every discharge is urgh. My dad and mum, in return, started nagging at me to go see a doctor. Well, with monday and tuesday nights out, thursday CG was the last straw and finally went to the doc today.
Ever experienced the verse "When i am weak, then i am strong?" in a new way? Every single time God wants me to learn something, i will somehow be weakened in a different way. Only then i see God's might and miracle. He made me enhance the value of M&Ms. He refocused me back where i should be focusing. He provided a way out for me so that midterms would be do-able even in a weakened state. He helped me overcome my crankiness of moods during sinus trouble.
And yes, the important lesson of this week. Don't yak and complain so much, Kuang Ting(of course, not outwardly). One of the most frequent things to yak about is in the MRTs. Ever tried getting out a train only to struggle because the Singaporeans just have to get in before someone can get out?
One of the days i woke up getting ready to do my QT. Amidst all the things to complain about i just felt too weak to do so. i flipped open my bible to begin QT, asking myself, what comes next after Jeremiah... hmm... Ahh. Lamentations. (: God certainly don't throw coincidences eh.
Ahh. Time to take my medicine. Till next week.

Week 81 - It's your choice
CNY provides a timely interval to the ever increasing workload that can be distracting in our walk with God. Arguably the most tiring of weeks from the start of school, i was glad God provided this week as a good testing ground.
As the week began, we as a CG went shopping to buy this series of clothings called "It's your choice". The clothes were so big, we all could only wear the "S" size! Also, Sunday shopping with Seng took its toll, really need to recharge well next time.
Then it was off to Timothy Seow's farewell to Melbourne where a new journey begins for him. Pray that God will do great things in this brother's life as he begins his uni life in Australia. (:
Midweek was just fatigue, probably half the time i didn't know i was really communicating with people until midway through the conversation. Lethargy set in, and it wasn't the best of times for concentration. Negative thoughts aside, i think the other thing i was concerned about was focusing on the things at hand each day.
Refreshed by God on Thursday again, this time a prayer was answered, and again the message was for me not to worry. However, i knew i had to be more disciplined in taking ample rest so that i can be at good efficiency. A little breakthrough in different areas led to the end of the week.
Friday's service brought about a reminded repentance area, that is to love the people wholeheartedly around me. Many times i hesitate to do so because of various reasons, but i know i must not let hindrances be excuses not to love/love less.
As CNY day 1 draws close, just want to say i'm very thankful for these 81 weeks with God. (and counting) Let this CNY season be a good time of retreat (from sch work), good time of fellowship, and a good time of partnering with God to glorify His name even as we share about our faith to our family and relatives.

Week 80 - It's here (lai le)
Some nice testimonies/stories to share for the week.
1. A1 lunch
Had lunch with part of the CG on Wednesday. Though we didn't have much time spent together, it's heartwarming to fellowship with diff kinds of food. Can see the weary faces of each of us (myself included) and i only thank God for His sustainence. Was the first time i explored the apps of the iPhone though. Killing germs, taking stupid posing photos, and infecting as many creatures with sneezing as possible to make the next level, that was fun. (:
Looking forward to more of these!
2. Accounting tutorial: Trust, uncertainty and faith(this one i added myself)
From the tutor: If there is uncertainty, you need to wait till customer accepts officially for the goods before you recognise revenue, not when you first deliver the goods to the customer. (I am always amazed at the additional stuff accounting lessons bring about)
Since it's subjective for each company, it can be said to link to how we trust people as well, ain't it? How far are we willing to trust people and give them the benefit of the doubt? Indeed, there have been many incidents out there that undermine trust. But as people of God, i want to continue to trust people, by the grace of God, that this faith in people will not go in vain. Because God first trusted us as well. (:
3. Selection (HR mod) class
Today my tutor talked about companies selecting employees from interviews. He quoted a story from one of the business major talks where people flocked to Tourism (it's so popular, apparently, i don't know, glamour?) while fewer went to Marketing and it was kind of pathetic for HR side. While grimacing and thinking of strategies how to market HR as a major, my tutor just stood there and said: Well, we'll take the rest.
I'm just glad that one, there is only one God, that we can choose this major in life. two, that God does not specify who can qualify as Christians and who cannot. Given how sinful we are, i don't want to think who can even qualify...hmm, i wonder how far Job can go in an interview with God?
4. Sub-D sharing by Tim
Tim shared a testimony about the process of applying for a job in NTU, that how in the eyes of the world he would be giving up a better job for a post that somewhat eroded his 2.5 years of experience.
I am blessed to hear this story, and that it encourages me to really continue to look upon God for guidance, and not just in the eyes of men. Of course, each of us has our different calling, but i really see the need to prepare myself, and God sees it as well.
I just pray for each of us in A1, in Unit A, in NYC, that when God calls, we will be courageous enough to take it up. Still growing. (:
Buen fin de semana!
End off with this verse, that with each day of walking with God becomes more scarily real. And i really mean scary.
Deut 11:26-28
26 See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse- 27 the blessing if you obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today; 28 the curse if you disobey the commands of the LORD your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known.
