God's grace

I got into BIOENGINEERING!!!

i studied physics....

I don't know how to describe my feelings now...but i know it's overflowing with thankfulness to God. Somehow when i got it, i weren't disappointed. I weren't discouraged. I was excited! I knew deep inside that it was God's will for me despite it being not my 1st or 2nd or 3rd or etc choice....(well it's a looooonnnnnnggggg story of how i got to this stage). BUT it was God's grace and i experienced His greatness throughout!

He(GOD) is REAL! really really.....I didn't bluff u!

But what is bioengineering all about?

ahh! i'm so excited! Weiling becoming an ENGINEER?
There will be so much to discover in the years to come.......

amusing happenings

It's interesting to observe the happenings on Singapore roads...For the many years i've been living here, never in my life have i come across such amusing scenes.

I took a bus to tuition class and just a couple of minutes after alighting the bus, i saw a yellow car (dunno what brand it is..but it's a very cute, round car). It was waiting at the petrol station exit, ensuring there was no car before touching on the main road. so i was waiting for it to get out of that exit. wait and wait........and WAITING

what on earth is this car doing? mati engine? or what? i need to cross the road to get to class!

so i turned back and looked......huh? no car what, why don't come out? and soon, as that thought came, it FINALLY shot out into the main road BUT went in the opposite direction and turned into a small road.
IT WENT AGAINST TRAFFIC FLOW!!
i stood there dazed. apparently i caught myself staring into air..SLAP!

After tuition, i headed for the pedestrian crossing and................KLONG!! A motorcycle helmet was rolling on the tar road! ahh!! -_- the poor helmet rolled all the way like a ball....it was a pretty cute sight. i imagined it as an ostrich egg. haha! rider stopped by the side and retrieved his helmet..i felt paiseh for him.

i had a great laugh... in my heart of course :p

amusing......amusing...

through a T.R.E.E

The weather yesterday was brilliant and as i was in the midst of my Qt, i looked out the window and as usual, the what i called "long beans" tree stood tall and firm before my sight. (It has fruits that look like the longer version of long beans..and if it drops on u, oh oh..God bless u ;p).

I didn't know what i was thinking and i saw a branch sticking out of its bark. It was a lonely branch with it's own support and own bunch of leaves. And i thought, christians are not meant to be like that branch......christians are made for fellowship, not only with our Creator, but also with His people..We were not made to live life in seclusion.

As these thoughts were still running, i saw other parts of the tree. The others were all in bunches. They were close together and the leaves grew in such a way that it looked like broccoli. YES! Christians are made that way! God made us this way.....with Him as the source and support, and simultaneously developing good relationships with His people.

On the same night, i was reading this book on "Radical Gratitude". This passage popped out at me.

"For when God pulls us into a vertical relationship with Himself, He also draws us into a horizontal relationship with other believers. NO FOLLOWER OF CHRIST IS ALONE."

I was like wOW! It actually matched with my random thought just that morning! God is so amazing.....and He's really creative to speak through a tree. :D it's just my experience with God..a very COOL one :) Just wanna share it with u and tell you that you're not alone when things are going rough. You can share with those u trust and pray together...

God works mightily through prayers..

the unexpected

I was in KL with family just last saturday...it has been a long time since we went out as a family and therefore, the trip was a pleasant one :)

I love family trips.....best still, with all my cousins and relatives. :D

Whenever we go to KL, food was NEVER out of the list of "things to do", especially ROJAK! there's this rojak shop in subang jaya. Not really a shop but just a small stall under a mammoth tree....nevertheless, there's always a bee line of homosapiens.

oh no....i'm missing it now.

Then i was reminded of what happened years ago at the rojak stall.
I was drowned in my rojak and i couldn't bother much about what's going on around me. just my rojak and me.....i was enjoying the breeze and the sound of wind rushing through the leaves of trees.

and suddenly.....................................'splat'....

what a sound....i didn't bother cos well, it's only a sound out of the many sounds i was hearing. so i continued my eating and THERE! what a disgusting sight! u guessed it?

BIRD SHIT! not anywhere.......ON MY PLATE!
i haven't finished yet! why??!??!!
I was so angry at the bird...whichever bird it was! SO inconsiderate! If there's a fine for that bird, i'll make sure it gets it's fine..............

so that day as i was eating rojak again, i made sure (200% sure) that there was no bird up on the tree.

But still, to be 300% sure, eat it in the shelter...
:D however, it was an adventure! hehe!
i love adventures............................like climbing a tree! or driving a ferarri on the highway?! or be a worker in the chocolate factory!! hmmmmmmmmm.............

food night

We had a reunion dinner at Seoul Garden in Taka a few nights back...
it was called the "kluangnites in sg" gathering...haha!
We're all 'home missing' people..so much so that there were 2 consecutive dinners, one after another..

HUh?
yea it's true..

Well, it's actually very encouraging to find people from ur own towns in another country. The worst is to be the only one stranded in another country where every day, no fail, breakfast+lunch+dinner+supper=chap fan (chinese mixed rice). [right or not ryan?? :)]

that night was so cool, so fun and so entertaining. Each of them (ly, merv, ryan, eunice, tienli, mich and me) had something to share, where one topic leads to another non-stop. so much that the waiter came by and hinted to us the time they'll be closing..HAHA!

There were so much food! (cos it's buffet style) and..............................................so so much ice cream!!! hmmmm.....yummy! I ate 3 scoops of them..superb!

but there was this sushi we called it the PINK THING....and yea, it was pink. I took 3 of them and none was eaten cos it was pink. ?? ??? so i tried one.

YUCKS! it was horrible! so how? nobody dared to eat it...and there was a sign at the cashier which said, "$5 will be charged for every 100g of food wasted". then brains started cracking some silly ideas on how to get rid of the PINK THING without eating them.. -_-

and eunice said do it like Mr Bean! stuck it under the plate...haha! that was a brilliant idea!!
(Mr Bean stucked his 'steak' under his plate......so silly...but smart ;)

and u know what silly ryan did with an egg?? haha! i tell you....u wouldnt believe it

1. He picked up an egg with his CHOPSTICKS and lowered the shelly egg into the hot soup.
2. "Why?? why on earth did u do that ryan??"
3. I want to cook hard boiled egg.......
4. He thought for a while....yea maybe he shouldnt do that.
5. so............he picked up the egg with his CHOPSTICKS again!
6. and as everyone knows, CHOPSTICKS are not meant for EGGs...
   
7. use the spoon...............................................use the spoon.......................................
   

it was a wonderful gathering though my skin cells were tearing due to overeating.. argh!

He's always waiting

Here's Jeremiah 13.

Go read from verses 1-7....

This concept struck me as i was reading it. I never saw this passage in this kind of light before. and i was amazed at how God reveals His heart slowly to me as i spent quiet moments just with Him alone..

This is it- God reveals His desires and purposes for each of our lives bit by bit, step by step, just like how He revealed His instructions to Jeremiah in this passage. If you noticed, He clearly revealed as to what to do now and next. He does not reveal them all at one go, for the sole purpose that we will cling onto Him continuously; that we will spend time every day to draw close to Him and listen for his small voice. It is in life's challenges that we will run to Him for comfort and refuge which no man can offer.

Think of why God gives us so many challenges, one after another? Apart from moulding us and building our character...He wants us to run to Him like how children would run to their father! He wants to assure us and embrace us.

Now i realised and understand that my Father in Heaven is ALWAYS waiting for me, to speak to me and to show me many wonderful plans He has for my life.

All i (or we) have to do is to spend time with Daddy......then only will we recognise His voice.

a boy @ Eden's Day

1st May=Eden's Day !!

For the 1st time, there's a children counter as a stall at Eden's Day. I was helping at the counter and wow! so many kids! It was only 8 plus and the counter was teeming with children...i got excited everytime a kid entered the main entrance :) We had lots of activites to keep them occupied but it only seemed that they preferred colouring and balloon sculpturing. haha! kids........

Thank God i learnt balloon sculpturing in JC in my CCA...cos it's a very effective way of reaching out to children...cos u have what they love-balloons! There were many children, all busy with their colouring and chocolates. However, this one boy caught my eyes.

He was a very shy and timid boy. He was always tagging behind mummy and holding on tightly to her shirt when she wanted to bring him for colouring. His face turned sour and tears will start to well up in his fearful eyes. His mum was busy with her stall, so she had no choice but to send him for colouring for a while. I thought, what a difficult case.....

It was only after giving him a few chocolate sticks and a bear shaped balloon then did he willingly sit down on the chair placed just outside the my counter. I thought again..........a very difficult case. I saw him sitting there by his own, so i went forward to chat with him.

He was a stone when i talked to him. Totally a stone..

Gave him a balloon to hold on too.......no response
invite him for colouring............no response
blablabla.........no response

THEN i saw a white blue tack in his left palm...i opened his palm and took it, asking who gave it to him? could i take a look at it? and u know what? you know what?
the SILENT boy SPOKE!
haha! i was so delighted! he spoke to say," mummy gave me..."!!

a miracle....hah! Thank God! :D so i continued...asked him to put some of the white substance on the bear balloon as its eyes ...and he nodded his head. yes! he said ok! and there his fingers moved..haha! then, i asked him if he wanted to colour, bcos his bear also wanted to colour, together with him....

and? He said oK! he said ok ok ok ok!
AHHHH!!!! I was so thankful that he finally broke out of his shyness and fear...
Thank God!

see? God can work amazingly even in little things like this.. :) Isn't He wonderful?? I still can't believe it....these small breakthroughs in children's lives affect them in their development. Believe it or not, they do, because it's in childhood that their values, mindsets, surroundings etc are easily moulded and most vulnerable to bad influences.

So.....please be a good parent to your future children :)
