reflective tuesday.

this is not gonna be one of my typical chirpy / grateful thanks-giving entries... this time, im gonna talk about the issue of personal space.

went to school alone today... did sthg i haven't done in a long time: read the Bible on the train. went to class and felt kindda left out, my friends were speaking to each other 'over' me, the guy sitting beside-beside me was having a discussion with the lecturer on why we should answer the question using median instead of the mode and calculate the area under the curve (lalala.....) and i just spaced out... after class, my friends rushed off for their other commitments while i da-pao-ed lunch, fought my way thru the fass lunch-time crowd, and chose a serene little table at lovers' park (and u wonder why i wasn't there with my lover...:P) to eat my lunch.... would have been perfect if the drilling near chi lib had stopped and the people at the other tables would talk and laff abit softer... and i just thot to myself: when was the last time i had such a quiet, personal time with.... myself?

most parts of my life, i had been searching company, intimacy. when i came to fass, it was tough. i chose not to embrace fass and its culture (i dun club, and i dun like to dress up.. but of course fass is more than that, but i declined to explore further)... i chose not to embrace usp and its culture (i dun like the people around me... i dun like offering my opinions during class.. i dun like participating in ivle discussions... i dun like chatting with the lecturer, aka sucking up, whenever i get the chance... and yes, usp IS much more than this... but somehow, i didn't really cared to find out either...) i chose to half-embrace (with half-opened arms and sometimes reluctantly pushing myself beyond my comfort zone) the crusade community... and i do like most of the people there. but still, my search for belonging did not find contentment.

today... i crave for personal space. i want to be alone. i want to ponder over wad malinowski (i tink) would call the imponderabilia of life.. i want to meet myself face to face, stark naked... no defenses, no strings attached.

i don't want to choose a masters course when i havent finished my undergrad course.. i dont wanna catch up on readings... i dont wanna participate in the ivle discussion so that i can stop being an invisible being in class... i dun rem y i signed up for usp in the first place... and i dunno rem y i came to uni.

i dun wanna be bogged down by the mudane issues of life.

i dun wanna go for class now... i havent done the tut yet... but somehow, i dun really care anymore....

still, to class i will go. dun ask me y... perhaps this is just the conformist side of me...

be warned. long wierd entry.

BLIMEY! u wouldnt believe wad happened... ive been happily typing this entry for a good amt of time and i finished. i really did! i just selected everything to change font size and colour... but somehow... i hit the enter button instead.

i dunno y at this time the undo button had to fail me.

so here! i m gonna rewrite everything again! hah!

mass e is over! thank God!

i would like to praise God and give thanks for many many things... esp the following...

1. that mass e was such a great success!
2. for enabling us to flood the campus with His good news through the tsunami booklets! i think we gave out 22000 in 4 days! praise the Lord! i even thank Him for those lying around tables, floors, and in bins.. i know they made a diff in someone's life. :)
3. for giving us the professional visit pass just in time! the day before the talk...
4. for enabling us to book the LT in such urgent notice!
5. for bringing so many pple to the talk! overflowing the seats, the stairways, and every inch of the LT!
6. for pple who didnt come, but were tempted to, even if for a split second..heh
7. for pple who nv considered coming, but read the tsunami booklets...
8. for pple who neither came, nor read the tsunami booklets... for i know God is working in their lives in His own special way....
9. for healing me so quickly! (my fever was down by tues!)
10. for softening the hearts, and opening the ears of those who came!
11. for the seeds sown on that night... ("i planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow")
12. for God's patient and loving cultivation of all the seeds in campus and through the nations!
13. for sustaining all of us through this week of intensive prep and publicity...
14. for anointing his servant Mr (no not Dr) LT Jeyachandran and using him mightily to speak words of truth and wisdom to us..

all glory to God... :)

mass E aside... today was down... and up! to begin with, i was locked out of my cultures class, not once, but twice today! first time at the beginning of class.. second after the mid-class break... peggy u idiot! me desperately trying to force the door open as i began to berate myself aloud for coming in late and cursing the wretched auto-lock door... SO! i have made the resolution to be on time for my cultures class every wed and fri 10am! i shall leave my house at 830 so i can hitch my dad's car to mrt.. take train by 845.. reach harbourfront bus stop by 915....get on bus 10 by 925... reach kent ridge terminal by 945... take a leisurely walk to the lift by 955...  wait for the lift for 5 min....reach class LATEST 10AM SHARP! wahhaha.... peggy u're such a genius.

everyone reading this can hold me accountable for this resolution ive just made. i am NOT going to be late for cultures class anymore. i am NOT going to be locked out as a pathetic soul like i was today. i am going to CONTRIBUTE to the ivle forum. which is already overflowing with more than a hundred entries by now.. none by urs truly, sad to say.... im sure this class has just rewritten NUS history... so enthu in forum?! hah... mayb this can be a promising lead for my term essay... "uncovering the mystery: why is this class so enthu in the ivle forum?" heh.

well, cultures class started bad. but at least thai was fun! school this week has been brightened up by little sparks of thai class fun! thai class is really fun! french wasn't this much fun... it was fun yeah. but not as fun. thai class is damn fun! (oh haf i said that already?) i love my a-chans... they r such nice pple... i wonder if it's the thai culture or sthg... so relac, loving, encouraging, fun-loving, warm and affectionate! thank God i decided to take thai 1... and it fitted so nicely into my timetable, and huimin's timetable.. so we can now be twins beyond crusade time! haha!

ohhhhh...... but it conveniently slipped my mind that thai lang has their own alphabets... french used the english alphabets... but thai have their own! a good whole scriggly-wriggly 44 of them! aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

relac. peggy relac. can't wait for thai class next week! haha. have made the resolution to work harder from now on. buck up on my studies! which means less blogging. less msn. less shopping. (horrors of horrors! but anyway the hole in my pocket is really ablaze by now...) less phone yakking. more late nites. more hours burned in the lib. tmr i shall go to toa payoh lib to mug. yay! my second home! cant wait....

nerds unite!

sick.

ok, ive found the antidote for my addictions to yakun and shilin.... it's a perfect combination of sorethroat, headache, bodyache, fever and cough. well done peggy.

woke up at 645am to find myself really drowsy, reminds me of that time after my op with GA... desperately said many prayers, wishing to get better instantaneously. ah well, God's will. not mine.

very sorry that i had to miss alot of stuff today... today shuld haf been a big day for me... sc3101 lect (i hate missing lects!), thai 1's first class (i wonder how it went, HM?), the first day of Mass E publicity (damn i wish i was there!!), my first time in angeline and pris' dg meeting, and then meeting dear at nite.  

and i missed EVERYTHING.

oh, the frustration brought tears to my eyes! pleading with God to make me well, for His sake, so i can go out and serve Him. come to think of it, how silly of me. im already in His good hands.

very touched that dear took off to come over and take care of me. very sorry that i spent most of that precious time with him drifting in and out of consciousness... how could i possible sleep away the whole afternoon?! and all i did was make him pass me my med, the thermometer, my water bottle, the blanket, the pillows and then watch me sleep... wad did i do to deserve a bf like this? thanks dear... love ya v much indeed. :)

well, let's hope things get better tmr... it's another exciting day... :)

sunday.

the past few days haf been very good indeed... Praise the Lord for his faithfulness when He said "if my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from ther wicked ways, then will i hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." (2 Chron 7:14)..  indeed, seek and you shall find.

how the hearts of my friends and family softened by prayer.. i literally saw the ice around their hearts melt! never underestimate wad God can do! praise Him!

during this period of prayer engage and fasting, the enemy has been desperate in his attempts of wrecking havoc. i can barely believe the surge of temptations recently... the enemy is sooo jealous. ever green with envy, trying to steal away words of truth sown in people, setting traps to stumble others, masking his lies in the various names... ever trying to compete with the Lord almighty. FAT CHANCE. our Lord Jesus will always be victorious! Hallelujah!

was at j8 this morning, enjoying some good ol' Yakun kaya toast and the best BEST coffee in the whole of Singapore, and some chicken cutlet from Shilin... these things r very very addictive.. if anyone has an antidote, pls inform me.. otherwise im either gonna inflate till i explode or drown in my own fats... help.

as i was saying, j8. it's a good place. getting better and better by the day too... so dear and i were sitting down by the mrt, watching the morning crowd go by. and then we watched this auntie come with her bag of tissues and started standing by the side pleading for pple to buy tissue from her... sthg along the lines of she has no children, she's too old, lend a hand... those kind of stuff. so we 2 decided to take some statistics down... counted the number of pple who walked past her before buying tissue from her. (btw its $1 for 4 packs... quite a good charity deal in my opinion...) make a guess wad's the number. guess guess!

*drum roll pls...... * the answer is..... 49.

woah! quite scary leh.. i tot Singaporeans are very compassionate? well, looks like 1/49 are compassionate enough, in this case. and in the around 10min we sat there, theoretically, NOBODY bought tissues from her. only 3 pple stuffed $2 notes into her hand, but all her tissues were intact nonetheless. and 1 of them was an old lady herself... ironic isnt it? oh btw, taking our limited observation time of 10min, the auntie earns $6/10min, which translates to $36/hr... phwoar! double my tuition fee rate.. dun play play sia...

well, this charity 'charitable' Singaporeans issue has seen its fair amount of discourse. it's almost getting stale. i mean, the prizes in charity tv shows are getting fatter and fatter. and there's no more $2 donation hotline... only $5 onwards pls... and the stunts the artistes (and other pple) pull... the stunts! ridiculous... ridiculous! y r they playing with their own lives lydat... i'm sure the hearts of Singaporeans rnt THAT hardened that they will only donate when somebody's life is at stake.. some1 remind me again? r we donating to reward the efforts for the stunt jobs, or to win that condominium apartment in the grand lucky draw, or to help the needy?

and the avenues to draw help from 'the more privileged'... i dunno. they're getting increasingly radical. the selling of tix, climbing steel structures to the height of 3 storeys, and the most popular: selling tissues. 

talk about the selling of tissues... reminds me of that distraught-looking-messy-hair Indian auntie who stands at the traffic lights pavement btw HMV and cine... yeah, that's the one... i believe every Singaporean has met her. i rem stuffing a $2 note in her hand (i couldnt find any coins!) and trying to take a few packs of tissue from her hand.. but only 1 pack came free... her grip on the others didnt seem to loosen 1 bit while she profusely thanked me and asked me to take as many packs as i like.... of course. no more $2 per pack from me when some1 told me how she saw the auntie wrapping up one day's work and hailing a cab to leave... goodness! and last sem... i even saw her in NUS along AS6! i take my hat off... pei fu pei fu.

and selling tix! the controversial coupon things... the UIMA (im not sure if it's UIMA, but i know it sounds like weema) pple who flood all corners of NUS and the rest of Singapore.. the pple who almost always begin with 'lemme ask u a question. do u think education is impt?' pls! new line pls! so charity has become rehearsed now.. tell me more.

and 1 question i always ask these pple... how much $ goes to the needy pple? that's all i need to know... whether or not it's the full sum of donation. i'd trust their word if they said it were 100%. those 'volunteers'...

well, i was a 'volunteer' once... selling little organisers to raise funds for epilepsy patients... the pay is quite good... *yar, if u havent realised, the 'volunteers' get paid too.... * but the work! the skin on my face grew thicker than those on my sole during those times.. having to chase after pple... explaining till my mouth dried... and all that standing.... climbing stairs of HDB blocks while we did door-to-door....and the weight of all those organisers!!!! saw the ugliness of some, saw the beauty of others.... as usual....i'd rather rem the good times...

the plain janes and next-door toms who gave so willingly and with so much joy, even adding words of encouragement instantaneously morphed into the most beautiful pple... the school boy who fished out his only $10 note and left himself with $2 (he's from victoria school, might i add..).. the family who rummaged thru their entire flat to find the last $10 note in the house for me... the guy who came up to me instead of me going up to him and gave me a $10 note... the pple who gave the $$ but refused to accept the organisers... the pple who said they will go atm to draw cash so they can come back and donate, and really really did...and of course, how can i forget the uncle who took the receipt and told me enthusiastically how he was going to use the last 4 digits of the receipt no to buy 4d... bless these pple!

but also... bless those who walk past blind and deaf, those who fumbled with their excuses while they walked faster and faster, those who said they would go atm to draw cash but nv returned... i know both u and i haf played some of these roles on either side before...

ok, im tired of writing this gp essay. enough.

really really looking forward to Mass E and all it's publicity next week. can't wait to see the awe of God's hand at work at NUS.. flooding the campus with his good news! may the Lord bless the Lord! very very very excited...... heh

engage.

the past few days of prayer engage haf been extremely humbling.... God has revealed his word to me in ways i could nv haf imagined.. n i thank Him for that... i thank Him for being a faithful God when i was unfaithful.

guard ur mind. this is wad God told me. knowledge formulated without God is folly. knowledge that distort the truth of God are lies. for He has told us in his word, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. the information that im being fed on now, which really come from God? the lectures, notes, casual conversations, thoughts in my mind... where is their real source? it's all too easy to take a wrong step...

Genesis chapter 3 talks about the fall of man... when Eve succumbed to the temptations of the serpent. the lies of the enemy... half-lies that seem reasonable, harmless, innocent. deception. what a sister said yday resonates in me.... the greatest lie the serpent told Eve was that God had withheld goodness from her. o Lord, u could never short change me. only i shortchange u.

and it's true wad a bro said too... that all Eve needed to do was to check back with God when the serpent planted seeds of doubt in her. imagine life now if that had happened instead.

all that needs to be done is to check back with God.

ive been thinking a great deal nowadays. of my personal bondages. it's true that i truly repent everytime. but its also true that i return back to the bondages each n every time. i asked God y. He told me that it is when i am weak, then all the more i need Him.

when i am weak, all the more i need Him.

but y make it so hard? y make the struggle to walk in His narrow path so hard? then i began to imagine life without Him now. i dunno.... i've had Him in my life for many years now.. i can barely rem what life would be without Him. i list the possiblities... and u know, some of them dont even sound bad. and then i listed the difference in my life now that i had Him.

and there was my answer.

was listening to the song 'you are my all in all' and there's this one line that spoke to me extra clearly... "Lord to give up i'd be a fool". yes, i would. i would be a fool. 

be humble. this is wad the Lord told me too. humble humble humble. time and time again. humble yourself. who spoke to God face to face? Moses, the most humble man on earth. who humbled himself and set the example for us? Jesus.

i thank God that i serve a God who's not high and aloft, untouchable and unfathomable, but a God who actually came in flesh and blood to live with us. just so that He could die for our sins, and provide the way home.

a God that tells us He has done every thing for us already. it's no longer about 'do this do that', but its all done. 100% God, 0% me. 

a God that tells us if we ever want to find out more about Him, He would reveal himself through His word. it's really that easy, so easy that sometimes it can become unbelievable, so much so that we doubt His word.

A God that keeps showing signs, fulfilling prophecies that were foretold thousands of years earlier, laying out evidence before our eyes that He is real, that He is a living God. but we rationalize that there are always other reasons of explanation. 

A God that promises He would never leave us, even when we turn our backs on Him. that He will keep knocking on our doors, waiting for us to open it for Him. that anytime we desire, we can haf a personal relationship with Him. a personal relationship. it blows my mind how much He loves every single one of us. every single one.

how amazing...

revolutionise: evangelise.

went for conversational evangelism equipping at gctc today... it was AMAZING. thot it would simply teach us how to turn conversations towards the topic of Jesus.. but it far exceeded my expectations. it was actually a combination of apologetics and conversational evangelism.

for those who think that faith is a blind act of will, that faith and reason are parallel lines that r mutually exclusive and will nv converge... think again. there is a whole... waddya call it? let's call it a 'discipline' of Christianity called apologetics that uses logic and intellectual reasoning to substantiate the Christian faith. famous apologetics teachers include Norman Geisler, John McDowell, Ravi Zacharias, CS Lewis etc etc. *btw the speaker today was Dave Geisler, yes. the SON of Norman Geisler! ahhh, the blessings from God! Praise Him!* faith is believing in what u cannot see. but the object of ur faith is infinately impt, otherwise it just becomes blind faith. i know i can trust God for what i don't understand, because of what He has shown me that i do understand. in fact, the Bible calls us to 'love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength' (Mark 12:30). 

this brings us to the issue of 'believe in' versus 'believe that'. demons believe that God exist, but they dont believe in God. faith is incomplete if it doesnt comprise of both elements of belief. if faith is built on emotional experiences of 'believe in', someday a non-believer questions ur beliefs and u find that u dun haf the answers, ur faith may break down.

oops. im making my old mistake of a preaching monologue again. 1 of the lessons i learnt today is NOT to start a preaching monologue. pple dont wanna be told, they'd rather discover it for themselves. the Boomerang principle. how else better to let them discover than to ask probing questions and allow them to think thru and arrive at their own conclusions...

today's equipping is a very significant day for me. it's gonna revolutionize the way i evangelise. thank and praise God for using his servant Dave Geisler to speak to us.. thank and praise Him for everything and in all circumstances... :)

the big E.

reading an entry on one of my friend's blog a few days ago brought me many thoughts... and yes, it's about my God, Jesus Christ.

im just gonna talk about one for now, evangelism. y do many Christians, myself included, evangelise (enthusiastically, or even desperately)? simply because that's what Jesus commanded us to. it's called the Great Commission. after Jesus was resurrected, he appeared at a mountain to meet his eleven disciples, and this is what he told them (see Matthew 28:18-20):

"all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything i have commanded you. and surely i am with you always, to the very end of the age."

it is not a suggestion for sthg Christians can do in their free time or as and when they haf an emotional urge to. it is a command to "go and make disciples". it is a call for all Christians. certainly, i look upon it as more of an act out of love for my God rather than obligation. and certainly, not all Christians look upon it as their duty either * but im not trying to judge here, so dont take any personal offence k... :)*

and yeah. y do i bother waking up extra early, giving up my one and only free day just to trod down to sch and beg pple for some time to talk to them about God? no. i am not masochistic. i do not enjoy approaching strangers and starting conversations. i do not enjoy getting wierd looks, rejections, lame excuses, mocking sarcasm from the pple i approach *some of whom r my friends even*. and frankly, i'd be so much more popular if i just kept my religious beliefs in my private life rather than broadcasting them to everyone everywhere i go. id like to sit around and enjoy a cuppa, gossiping with friends.... u know, the usual stuff, AND save myself so much trouble, sweat, time, and face.

so the question is: y bother.

not just cos Jesus commanded his believers to. but as Christians, we believe in Jesus, so we believe in everything he said, specifically this: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. no one comes to the Father, except through me". personally, i believe that Jesus was not making a casual joke when he said 'no one comes to the Father except through me". i believe that God did not give up his only begotten son to die for undeserving pple *pple who were still in their sins, pple who mocked him, rejected him, and eventually crucified him* when he himself was blameless, just to provide another alternative. *but dont ask me if Gandhi is gonna burn tgr with murderers down there.... i really dunno. judgement is God's business.* 

it's like i'm in a boat, and everyone else can't swim and they're drowning. wad do i do?

so there. evangelism is about love. we call it 'passion for the lost'. cant fault us for acting according to our beliefs. mayb we can seem like we're imposing our beliefs on non-believers. think about it from our pt of view. we're already on the boat, we're just trying to get u in too.

but eventually u haf to grab our hand for us to pull u in. there's nothing i can do if u insist u can swim, or that u're not really drowning, or that u decide the boat im in may not lead to safety. the life is urs, u make the final choice.

purpose driven life.

yday, i asked a bro this qns: what's the point?

what's the purpose in living life? or even finding your 'true love'? someone said that life is but slow death.... someone told me that life is suffering... someone said life is about being happy. its about the process, everyone is going to die anyway, but its how you live your life now, the experiences and memories that count. so just be happy. others tell me that life is about finding that special some1. life is about the achievements and tangible valuables that u can amass throughout ur lifetime.... Solomon said that life is a chasing after the wind; everything is meaningless.

today, this is an answer i got from Daily Bread Devotional .

What's the point? Here it is. A few years before a friend of mine died, he said, "Life is a wonderful experience. It's marvelous to see that God keeps nature going in its pattern. It's wonderful to know that we're here to love God above everything and to love our neighbor as ourselves. It's comforting to believe that all our sins are forgiven because of what Christ did on the cross. And it's exciting to think about the eternity God has for us. It sure is great to be alive."

when i surrender my life to God, it amazes me endlessly how *cliche as it sounds* He provides. i recall sthg that Dave Park shared during meta... some people think about how Christianity is based on the belief of an after-life *in heaven or in hell*. but how can u prove that? dave said that even if there was no after-life, even if promises of heaven never came true... he would still choose to believe in Christ Jesus. because life with Jesus now is so much better than life without him.

for me, i search for meaning in life. meaning not based on volatile feelings, not even science which operates on the law of 'correct until proven otherwise' *humans r so unpredictable anyway*, but meaning based on truth. hard, unchanging truth.

Such is the destiny of all who forget God;
so perishes the hope of the godless.
what he trusts in is fragile;
what he relies on is a spider's web.
he leans on his web, but it gives way;
he clings to it, but it does not hold.
he is like a well-watered plant in the sunshine,
spreading its shoots over the garden;
it entwines its roots around a pile of rocks
and looks for a place among the stones.
but when it is torn from its spot,
that place disowns it and says, 'i never saw you.'
surely its life withers away,
and from the soil other plants grow. 
Job 8:13-19.

day 1.

there goes day 1. not as bad as i thot... tho i completely dreaded waking up, getting ready, and taking the trip to sch... 3101 lect was fine. alatas and his usual eurocentrism-blah-blah-blah talk, raf-faan and her yes-i-know-i-have-an-accent-im-not-going-to-lose-it-so-u-better-get-used-to-it.... i really hope i get raffin as my tutor. hehe....

spent the bulk of my day at crusade corner... oh boy do i miss that place... miss my bros and sis so so so so much there....fellowship is really priceless.

and i spent the bulk of my time at crusade corner crying. ah boy, its really an open area so it was very paisei... but i dont have much of an issue letting my emotions manifest themselves in front of others so no big deal... was really tiring tho... have been dwelling stubbornly in my little self-built refuge for some time... the real world is .... tiring.

reminds me of sthg that alatas spoke of during lect. he said of how now we seem to look forward to graduating so that we can step out into the 'real world' but the truth is, this is the real world. wad we call the 'real world' is simply a world full of lies and deception. *and may the best liar win?* marx talks about alienation, how the 'real world' handicaps u from realizing ur full potential. weber talks about how we are caught in the cage of rationality, when things r so rationalized that they become unreasonable. durkheim talks about anomie, where the 'real world' generates so many desires that we become enslaved by them *for proof of anomie, just read my previous few entries about shopping*. alatas tells us of how we will realise that the 'real world' actually enslaves us. when we realise this 'truth', we would prob become depressed. depressed but enlightened. at least that's better than ignorant and blissful. *or so alatas says....*

well, i guess i can identify a bit with wad dan felt about sociology when he took one soci mod last sem. sociology claims to find answers, but all it provides is misguiding information. how do u understand the creation, when u dunno the creator?

do not fret because of evil men
or be envious of those who do wrong;
for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.

trust in the Lord and do good;
dweel in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
delight yourself in the Lord
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him and he will do this:
he will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when men succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.

refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret- it only leads to evil.
for evil men will be cut off,
but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.

a little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look for them, they will not be found.
but the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.

Psalm 37:1-11.
