Romans 12 (New International Version)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society

Romans 12
Living Sacrifices 1Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. 2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

3For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. 4Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. 7If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 8if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

Love
9Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
14Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
17Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. 18If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. 20On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

A Night at Burns Lab

2006-10-19T01:59:00.000+13:00

Date: 19 OCT 2006
Time: 1.54am
Venue: Burns Lab

As the clock ticks, it brings the the exams closer. People who are sitting exams in the morning should be dead asleep by now, with the exceptions of Pharm 4 students who have their Oral Exams tmr. They are still fighting til the very last minute of their war. Pharm 3 students? Hmmm... I ain't too sure about that. Anw, wish them ALL THE BEST! Trust in our Heavenly Father and draw our strength from HIM.

vK just left Burns Lab. With him, he brought laughters and the mood in the lab lightened. Thankz! Not forgetting the fact that he was abit Hyperactive today. Really restless I'd say. Anw, now the lab has quietened down again. I've left the window opened to let some fresh air in. To all those from the trpoical countries: It feels like Air-Conditioning system :) Brend's concentrating on his notes. Good! Chewy's scratching his head. Still. and scratching. and he finally stopped. Krystal's tying her hair. Stella's flipping her notes. Me? I'll get back to studies soon.

Something that I'd like to share with u guys today. Starvation. Food never seemed so important until u STARVE. Treasure them. I am Serious.

Procrastination ends here.

Something we ALL know... (yet we need to be reminded from time to time...)

2006-09-28T13:30:00.000+12:00

Pursue above all the kingdom of God and his righteousness, Jesus said, and everything else will be thrown in in the bargain. Apart from this, everything else is a trivial pursuit.

New Testament theologian Walter Wink wrote that one of Jesus' most effective teaching techniques was "deliberately-induced frustration." He was forever giving his disciples questions they couldn't answer, assignments they couldn't complete, teaching they couldn't understand. He understood that frustration gets our attention, can open us up to receiving help from beyond ourselves.

PRAYER III

2006-09-19T18:38:00.000+12:00

Hi La Vitans!

It was good to see you all again yesterday. Too bad Annette couldn't make it. Where were you? *sad*.
Kai led worship, with Jerry on guitar. Well done! (I forgot to bring my shaker! My bad!)
My heart absolutely stopped for 2 mins when Kai got the phonecall, but it's all good, coz Yu Kai is now RA Officer Lim! Congrats!
Nette, how'd you go?

Recap of yesterday's meeting:

The "ACTS" Prayer

Adoration (Worship)
Why worship when praying?
1. sets the tone for the entire prayer: reminds us whom we are addressing, whose presence we have entered, whose attention we have gained. Focuses our attention to God.
2. reminds us of God's identity and nature: He is faithful, righteous, just, merciful, gracious, willing to provide, attentive, unchanging.
3. purifies the one who is praying: When we have spent a few minutes praising God for who he is, our spirit is softened and our agenda changes. Our sense of desperation subsides, our burning issues seem less crucial.
4. God is worthy of adoration: A God who is All-powerful, all-knowing, and yet who loves us, watches over us, gives us good gifts - amazing! he is worthy of our worship!

Confession
Why confess?
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9
1. Our conscience will be cleared: I'm getting honest with God, I'm not playing games anymore, and this feels good.
2. We'll be flooded with relief that God has a forgiving nature.
3. We'll be free to pray.

Thanksgiving
There is a difference between feeling grateful and expressing thanks.
God is our Father, and he too is moved when we express our thanksgiving.
"Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Chrsit Jesus." 1 Thess 5:18

Supplication (Request)
"In everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6
Nothing is too big for God to handle or too small for him to be interest in!
_________

TO DO for this week:

- Continue to set aside time everyday and pray in our prayer corner, away from all distractions and spend solid time with God, just chilling out and sharing our lives with God our Father. Not coz it's a chore or a must, but because we want to have a closer relationship with God, get to know Him, and allow Him to bless our lives with his awesome power!

- Start our prayer time with Adoration/Worship,

e.g: sing a song, play your favourite song that praises God or read a chapter from Psalms and just give God glory.

- Confess. Not just say a general statement covering all our sins, but state each sin.

- Say "thanks" to God, coz He is good!

Next week:
- The hurt of un-answered prayer.
- Prayer-busters: causes for unanswered prayers.

I pray that everyone will have an awesome week ahead. Gimme a text to have coffee and meet up, if you have time! Dun be a stranger!

PRAYER II

2006-09-17T20:32:00.000+12:00

WELCOME SARAH AND EVE!
It was great having you guys at the meeting. Hope you guys felt at home.

We missed you Jerry and Vincent!
Hope your assignment went well, we're praying for you.
Good stuff for accompanying Eddie to La Vie, Vincent!

What we did last week:
Firstly,
We learned from the story of the Judge and the Widow that God is willing to respond to our prayers.

From the God's word, we learn that God has given us a personal invitation!
An invitation to each one of us, to come before Him in prayer. To talk to Him. To tell Him how we're doing, to tell Him what we need, and to hear what He has to say to us.
I hope the letter we pasted in our Prayer Journals reminders us that God loves it when we talk to Him, kinda like how our parents back in Asia are always happy when we call them up to chat.

Secondly,
If we wanna learn about combat strategy, we ask Yu Kai. If we wanna zh'ng our car, we ask Sunny, if we wanna knit, we ask Wan Ing. Why? Coz they are the experts.
If we wanna learn about prayer, we ask Jesus. So what does he say about Prayer?

Matt 6:⁵"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. ⁶But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. ⁷And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. ⁸Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

So we learn 3 Heart-Building Habits:
1. Pray regularly
2. Pray privately
3. Pray sincerely

So this week's commitment:
- Continue our Prayer Journal.
- Set aside time, every day, to pray.
- Find a place where we can get away from distractions, and create a "Prayer Corner". Create an atmosphere where it can be your "one-on-one" chill out place with God.
- Don't babble, just say what you mean, be honest, be sincere when talking with God.

I hope we're all still excited about this journey to becoming Prayer Warriors! I am! Come on!

Not Just Another SPEECH...

2006-09-14T11:59:00.000+12:00

525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear.

525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.

In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.

In 525,600 minutes - how do you measure a year in the life?

How about love? How about love? How about love?

Measure in love.

Seasons of love.

I quote Rent: Seasons of Love

Love is in the air!!! (well... Actually, pollens are in the air... -.-) *irritating*

This week passes by REALLY quickly... Sometimes we really have to live like there is no tomorrow. I dont know where i am going but i am just gonna randomly type my thoughts... Anw, it PAYS to call me Speechy Auntie Elepboon :)

It's Friday! Last night Louis and I were supposed to be doing "work" in the library... However, as usual... we ended up doing everything except for work. I think we need some kinda studying supervisor... Officer YuKai! We NEED you! wahaha... Or maybe some WISE & MATURE person to keep us on track... (I wonder who... >.-) haha...

I just found out yesterday that this guy got penalised 50% for his essay too! Erm... He has spent alot of time and effort on it so i guess I shant complain abt it... He only scored 3% more than me after the penalisation. Moral of the story: Remember to do In-Text-Citation when u refer to other people's idea while writing ur piece of work.

It was really encouraging to see everyone being so devoted in their prayer journal... :) Esp on Tuesday night when everyone have some thoughts to share about their Prayer routine. *COMMON!* It takes alot of effort to actually Do Life Together... And, the fact that we are all into this together, giving support to one another, keeping one another on track and of cos! The Love Beyond Reason! Exactly, come to think about it... How do we actually measure our years on Earth? I've never thought about it until i heard that song (lyrics above... If u guys want the song, just get it off me... It's GOOD.)

Just 3 days ago, we realised it has only been 1 month after WTP 2006. (*whoa* we haven't seen this WTP 2006 in awhile, have we?) The passion and fire kinda died down after the event. I'm not sure about everyone else, but i feel that i am not as energised and motivated as how i used to be during the preparation of WTP 2006. I reflected on the changes that i saw in my life after the event. Also, i thought abt the changes that i saw in others ever since the event touched their lives. And i realised that this is not the time to stop. Instead, lets pick ourselves up from where we have left behind, move on, and allow God to continue creating miracles in our lives!

Yes... My bad... I just realised that i'm Speeching again... oh well! At least, Uncle Bp can read it tonight during his free time when he's on-call. ^^ And! Dun worry, Louis, YuKai and Sunny, Jerry too... I will force u guys (violence-free) to read this... Mart, I am sure u will read it regardless... (so sweet of u... ) Vincent, Annette and Jasper i aint sure... Cant apply violence... But yea... I am quite sure i will be talking abt this everytime i see u guys anw... So! I shall move on to my next point! (Nah... Just Kidding...) Aight!

These 2 Verses were from the 'Word for Today' (my only resource =)) and yea it was about prayer...

Pray without ceasing. - 1 Thessalonians 5:17 - This tells us to be in constant consious conversation with God (CCC)

He did what was right...but not wholeheartedly. - 2 Chronicles 25:2 NIV - Pray with your whole heart and mean it! If you want a change mean it.. and really let God change you.. believe whole heartedly.. and i can testify with the last week.. it really happens..

hope u guys n gals have a smashing week ahead ay... stay cool, pray heaps.

The theme keeps coming up for the La Vitans.

We choose what level we play at. Do we choose to play at the highest level, or just make do?
Do we want to live on the edge with God? Live a life fully anointed and purposeful?

With everything we do in our daily lives, have we been doing our best? Are we gonna choose to do our best? If not, why not?

Why Not? - The Word For Today 090906

2006-09-09T02:53:00.000+12:00

Hey guys.. read this... and keep the flame burning.. this gave me a good reality check (coupled with it some encouragement).. as Waning would say "aza aza fight on"

Read On..

Be zealous...and be so always. - Galatians 4:18 NIV

Why Not?

Admiral Hyman Rickover, who was once head of the United States Nuclear Navy, personally interviewed every officer on board his nuclear submarines. Among them was former President Jimmy Carter. This is Carter's account of the interview: "He looked straight into my eyes. He
never smiled. I was saturated with cold sweat. Finally he asked a question and I thought I could redeem myself. 'How did you stand in your class at the Naval Academy?' I had done very well so I swelled my chest with pride and answered, 'Sir, I stood fifty-ninth out of a class of
eight hundred and twenty!' I sat back waiting for congratulations - which never came. Instead, the question: 'Did you do your best?' I started to say, 'Yes, sir,' but I remembered who this was and recalled several times at the Academy when I could have learned more about our allies, our
enemies, weapons, strategy, and so forth. I was just human. I finally gulped and said, 'No, sir, I didn't always do my best.' He looked at me for a long time, then turned his chair around to end the interview. He asked one final question, which I have never been able to forget - or to answer. He said, 'Why not?' I sat there for a while, shaken, then slowly left the room."

That's a question we need to ask ourselves at the end of each day: "Did I do my best?" You can be certain it's a question you'll face when you stand at the Judgment Seat of Christ to be evaluated and rewarded. If you can't answer yes, the question then will be, "Why not?"

Auntie Elepboon In ACTION!

2006-09-07T21:14:00.000+12:00

Eph 3:20
God can do anything, you know - for more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his spirit deeply and gently within us.

I was just reading through the blog that vK posted, and I thought about this verse that he shared with us on the first night of LaVitans' meeting (05092006) with FULL attendance! *Praise to our Heavenly Father*

Stepping out in faith is a wonderful thing, something that God often asks and expects us to do. But, it is also wonderful in HIS sight that we use Godly wisdom, and when we recognise that we dont have peace about something we have prayed and sought God about.

Prayer is an amazing tool! I am starting to share the excitement vK has for this Prayer Module that we are gonna invest in. I'm currently incorporating my lil' Prayer Journal into my daily life. :) Also, i realised that i am actually much more sensitive to those around me... As i reflect about what i have done, and people i have met throughout that day, I saw the bigger picture of Prayers. And, yes... It does make a difference!

PRAYER I

2006-09-07T01:20:00.000+12:00

First of all, WELCOME JASPER! It's great to have you. I hope you find a home away from home in the La Vitans, as we journey together as a lifegroup, to sow and grow in our relationship with Christ and each other in-Christ!

And Martin, it was good to see you at the meeting. The La Vitan Meetin' finally fell on a night that you can come. :)

Boy, am I excited!
I truly believe that as we learn more about PRAYER, we're embarking on a wonderful, life-changing adventure together!

So this is the plan,

Over the next 5-6 weeks, we're gonna embark on this journey of learning more about prayer and actually using what we learn, in our daily lives.

We all have our Prayer Journals, so let's do this together!

So this week, we start by:

Firstly, commiting ourselves to record our prayers in our journal (starting from the back page) with the start date, the item you're praying for. When the prayer is answered, tick it off with the date on which it was answered.
(Be creative in this and try a different approach to recording your prayer needs, coz I know different people do things differently. Do what works for you!)

Secondly, PRAY! Let us commit ourselves to really taking the time out each day to get together with God, not talking on the run, but carrying on substantial, soul-searching conversations.
(Let's not just talk about prayer, but actually PRAY! and see what prayer can do in our lives.)

--------------------------------------------------------------

A recap of what we talked about on the 5.09.06 La Vitan Meetin'

What is prayer? We thought:
- cellphone
- conversations with God/bonding with God
- asking God for favours
- anytime, anywhere 24hours channel to God
- feels like calling and getting voice mailbox/engaged tone sometimes

What draws us to pray?
- troubled times, obligation, good times, belief/faith, love.
What causes us to resist praying?
- guilt/sin, when things are going well, disappointments/unanswered prayers, laziness.
(We'll bear these points in mind and hopefully address them as we go along with this module.)

Why do we pray? We discussed 2 reasons:
1) The most intimate communion with God comes only through prayer.
- Let's get together with God and have substantial, honest conversations with him. Get to know him better, share our lives with him. Build a relationship.

2) Prayer is the key to unlocking God's prevailing power in our lives.
- It boils down to this, if you are willing to invite God to involve himself in our daily challenges, you will experience his prevailing power, wherever it is needing.
-It's hard for God to release his power in our lives when we put our hands in our pockets and say, 'I can handle this on my own'.

Over the next few weeks, we'll talk about:
- God is able, is God willing?
- God's gracious invitation for us to come to him as to a father.
- Habits and attitudes that Jesus said we must cultivate in order to pray effectively.
- The reasons why our prayers are not always answered the way we wish.
- Some reason why our prayer life dries up from time to time.
- How to hear God's leading/God speaking to our hearts.

Can't wait till the next meeting! Love you guys!

Guys decision time

2006-08-24T02:02:00.000+12:00

My dear La Vitans,

how has everything been just a few hours after lifegroup..everybody did your quiet time to night.. never do.??better get onto it in the morning.. Waning i miss u at lifegroup.. (better come for the next one hor)

Oh yea.. think my takeaway today from the whole session was my life is in a mess ay... and im letting my worldly affairs interfere too much with my spiritual walk (cf. 1 Cor 7).. so like im going to put things in perspective.. i think right now.. No Yvonne... cuz like u guys can see the influence it's been having on me ay.. i dun think it's very healthy.. I think i'll back out fer now... no point playing 'the Game' when that's not the game that is most important in life anyway.. err over the next 2 days.. im going to forgive all 'the people' i still have grudges with.. mainly 3 of them... (pls pray fer me man need lots of strength to do this) (cf. Ro 12:18 & 5 Mt 21-24) sigh dunno how also.. Yeap. and i realised i dun have things fer many things else.. like Studies and praying for a leadership vision. bible studies, Exercise, La vitans, Church, Maintaining friendships.. I really dun have anytime else.. and i suppose i dun wanna squeeze God to the corners of my days.. making time available.. so im pretty set ay.. i think this is where i wanna head.. lots of correction to make ie changing my habits (being late) and being more discplined with my work...

Anyway thats my spiritual thereabouts right now.. ... still in confused troubled state to where i'd be heading... Guys share ur spiritual walk too ay.. from there... we support each other and all can soar on eagle's wings..

Do u open up before u trust or u trust and then u open up.. but if u dun ever open up how can u ever trust.. =)

Hard out Guys (this is it),
Kai

Last spotted in the Accounting Lab...

2006-08-23T16:13:00.000+12:00

...The Elepboon!

It's another Wed Morning...

2006-08-23T10:10:00.000+12:00

I'm glad that i am Elepboon, with an Elephant's head and Baboon's body... At least i am small... BaPhant, with a Baboon's head and Elephant's body size... (*Louis's pose when i get outta control... *) In short, I am happy to be Elepboon now. *wahaha*

It's another Wed morning when i am stuck in my acct lab once again... The thought of it being the last lab prior to the break is the ONLY reassuring factor about this lab :) I usually make a new post every WED morning in labs... That is, if i come to labs... Last week i spent an hr writing a really nice post... and i accidentally DEL it... !!!

Lower opening book value is offset by its higher abnormal earnings... Lower opening book value is offset by its higher abnormal earnings... The lecturer repeated tat 3 times! :s (I thought: Totally do not want to grow into the habit of nagging...*sigh*)

Well, this week has gone by pretty fast and erm... I do realised we need more love, more love and more love in this world. And sometimes, due to frustration, we are unable to actually see clearly with our humanly eyes... At times, u get so annoyed with the situation that u chose the last n worst resort "AVOIDANCE" That doesnt really help, does it? Like i said, tying something too tight causes strains... and ultimately, suffocation... So, u gotta learn to take a break, get away and BREATH... The ability to Grow is directly related to the ability to Let Go! HE must increase but i must decrease. Isn't that so so true? It is hard to do, but HEY, who says life's easy???

I was doing my quiet time last night. After which, i did my usual bed time readings... I came across this really touching story... I'm not sure whether i can convey this effect as well if i tell u guys personally about this story... so, just carry on reading... (Actually, i am pretty sure i am gonna tell EVERYONE i see today this story... and most probably, followed by a speech or something... but, i dun care... I am Auntie Elepboon anw :))

An eight-year-old boy who had a younger sister dying of leukemia. He was told that without a blood transfusion she would die. His parents asked him if they could test his blood to see if it was compatible with hers. He said sure. They tested, and it was a match. Then they asked if he would give his sister a pint of hiw own blood, that it could be her only chance of living. He said he would have to think about it overnight.

The next day he told his parents he was willing to donate the blood. They took him to the hospital; he was put on a gurney beside his six-year-old sister. Both were hooked up to IVs. A nurse took a pint of blood from the boy, which was given to his sister. The boy layed in silence as the blood that would save his sister dripped from the IV, until the doctor came over to see how he was doing. Then the boy opened his eyes and asked: "How soon until I start to die?"

Love is never so fully love as when it gives. Giving is to love what eating is to hunger. The test of love is that it gives even when there is no expectation of a return.

So, How has everyone else's week been so far?

Sunny:
Love ur new spoiler... Hopefully, i'll see it fixed today! :) Also, finish off ur stats assignment soon! And yeap, i think i got u a beanie alr.

Louis:
Thanx for coming to the Auntie Elepboon's DLT session up in the link. Sorry u didnt get much studies done but i am sure u were pretty well-entertained then, werent you?? It's ok. It'll be purely studying sessions if i specified it to be. DLT will be more of a chilling out session ;)

Yukai:
I see things have been coming on pretty smoothly for you! ^^ I'll keep u on track and if u start slipping... We'll all be here to help u up and outta it (If there's ever a need to). Just lemme know whenever u need to talk, need to chill, or need any kind of advice la... Keep going!

Uncle BaPhant:
How did ur assessment run go? I've been praying for it... Hopefully it has gone well. And, erm... Do u know we're all human afterall...? U gotta take time to stop and consider all the wonders of God around you. Take time to count the blessings of friends u have around you. Take rest, so that u can move on from where u left behind.

I dont know how to phrase it better. I've been working on my essay ever since after my test on monday. 12 books to read, with friends around me to help me. Some helped me to find more books that are relevant to the essay, some helped me summarise the chapters, some kept me company, some helped me write out the reference sheet, and HEAPS more! All the encouragement does count! Sometimes frustration overpowers all the love surrounding me. And, i know the last thing u should do is to compare...

I've been thinking abt it and i've decided to pick it up from where i left behind. Gotta start working on it. With every friends u gain, u lose some along the journey. And it is true that Good friends are hard to find, but they are so easy to lose. Nope, dont correct me. I know what i am saying... We often neglect certain issues and ultimately avoid it. Where is that taking us? I mean, WTP waning, WTP?

Word For Today 160806

2006-08-16T11:08:00.000+12:00

Hey guys this is the Word for Today 160806
Found in quite life applicable so take a read

Sir, we would see Jesus. - John 12:21

Looking For JesusOne day some Greeks came to Philip saying, "Sir, we would see Jesus." Andif you listen - that's what people around you are still saying today. Yousay, "Tell them to go to church and they'll see Jesus." Maybe, maybe not.Get close to some people who fill a church pew every Sunday and you justmight see the devil at work. One of America's finest ministers wassitting on a plane one day reading his Bible. The lady in the next seatturned to him and asked, "Are you a preacher?" He said, "Yes, Ma'am."Then she asked, "Do you believe in a real literal devil?" With a chucklehe replied, "Lady, have you ever been to an annual church businessmeeting?" You may smile, but if you've been in church a while you knowhe's telling the truth.Board member, people are looking for more than just a good budget, theywant to see Jesus - in you. Choir member, you may sing like an angel andbring the house down, but when your song ends people want to see Jesus -in you. Pastor, you may be a skilled expositor and a gifted orator, butwhen the sermon's over people want to see Jesus - in you. Sir, lady, whenyou get through telling the folks at work what you stand for, they wantto see Jesus - in you. You don't have to defend Him, just display Himthrough your attitudes and actions each day. Jesus said, "If I be liftedup...[I] will draw all men unto Me" (Jn 12:32). We do the lifting; Jesusdoes the drawing - that's how it works!

What's wrong? (New Beginning...)

2006-08-15T00:10:00.000+12:00

Now, this is not the end. This is not even the beginning of the end. But this is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

-Winston Churchill-

WTP? 2006 has definitely been the one of the highlights throughout my journey with God... He has proven to be faithful. And now, we keep one another in prayers. And now, we start working towards something bigger than we can handle ourselves. We seek HIM. I dunno exactly how to express how i feel towards all these. Winston Churchill couldnt have put it betta in words...

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it.

Isaiah 43:18-19

I was just reading this book i got today and found it speaking to me... It is amazing how i always find God working his wonders through ppl around me... It seems like only lately that i sense his presence with me in everything i do. It is a good feeling knowing that u are not alone...

However, there is this sense of insecurity... this sense of weariness, this sense of erm... I dont really know where the problem lies exactly... It just keeps daunting on me whenever all laughters die down and u have some quiet time to urself... I am trying to sort it out... Not by my own strength... but by seeking the help and guidance of our Heavenly Father... It is draining me... However, I'll fight for this... Guys, prayers are powerful... and i am not doubting that anymore... :)

Last night was the first night that i saw it and it was great, well done guys. Saturday is gonna be so awesome and change so many peoples lives. Sunny man if you even know that this blog exists why don't you add something.

Have Fun at the Arana Ball!

2006-08-04T21:40:00.000+12:00

Hey, Louis, Kai, Sunny and Annette!

Hope you guys have fun at the Arana Ball tonight! Take lotsa photos and post them, ok?

P/S: Don't listen to the Elepboon (Elephant + Baboon). But, please DO say to her when you see her, "Hello Elepboon.". She'll thank you for it.

-vK-

Sometimes... You've gotta fight BACK!

2006-08-04T10:11:00.000+12:00

HIHI guys!

Baboon + Elephant = BaPhant.

He'll be extremely grateful if u guys can address him with his new title... Just imagine the GLEAM on his face when he hears it! It'll all be wothwhile :)

"YuVonne"?

2006-08-04T06:56:00.000+12:00

YU KAI LIM!
I was just gonna ask you how it went with Yvonne?

Well done, soldier! Haha. That was a brave thing you did! Kudos!
I wonder if she knew how nervous you were and that it was a premeditated hello. :) I'm sure she'd be flattered if she saw your last post, mustering up your courage and enduring all that mental agony just to say hello to her.

That was quite smooth. At least you didn't go up and pick her up with:
"Apart from looking gorgeous, what do you do for a living?"
or
"I'll tell you straight up.... You're a tall glass of water, and baby, I'm thirsty!"
(Me and Daryl's favourite line! Haha, so sad).

That must have been satisfying, overcoming that challenge. And what did you lose, right? Nothing except that you made a friend. :)

P/S: Wan Ing is an "Elepboon"! Next time you see her, say, "Hello, Elepboon!" She'd appreciate it.

P/P/S: Hi Martin. I pose you the question to you... "Marty, where IS that boy?" Time for some soul searching. Let's catch up soonish, k?

P/P/P/S: Louis, where's Sunny? ->
If you see him, ask him,
WHO ON EARTH WAVES FOR A PHOTO??
(see post Yu Kai's New Haircut photo)
Sigh... *shakes head*.

another question in me;
for the powers that be.

guarded and cynical now,
can't help but wonder how,
where's this feeling that I don't feel?

there was a boy who had the faith
--he believed without a reason.

and i, i've been searching
--for that missing person.

i'm here.

so how did it go..

2006-08-03T12:09:00.000+12:00

1100 BIOC lecture (hais came at 9 she wasnt dere so couldnt do anything).. wasnt expecting much this time but saw her sitting there same spot in her red jacket.. de heart was pumping.. picked my sit... sat down .. Sunny on my right Louis on my left .. .. so this is it... wasnt listening to Bioc lecture at all - just thinking of the consequences, the outcome... time ticking away... you see like if i din go up and intro myself.. i'd be all talk no action.. dun wanna be tt.. but on the other hand, how would she respond.. (tts the scariest bit) .. should i should i not... saw my frens sitting beside her... maybe that could help. with familiarity.

hmmm one thing the army taught me is at any crucial moment in time no matter how difficult things are, u still have to carry it through because u can't set your mind on one thing and just give up... U'd be a loser... u just have to summon up the courage and carry on with it... ..

and Steve Job's (the apple guy) 'live everyday as if it were your last speech'.. these sort of gave me the determination to 'just do it' and not turn away... ...

Palm's sweating lecture's ending.. Louis looks at me.. (did not hear what he said wasnt really paying attention) Sunny says something like just do it... Arghs... oh no .. crunch time.. hands clapping for the lecturer as it is his last lecture... packed my bag.. sling it on.. and slowly walked up the hall...

She was dere lying on the table and i said.. "hi you're Yvonne right".." I'm Yu Kai Yi qian's Friends... just dropping by to say hi.." (my goodness how lame).. yup... and i cooly slowly walked away...

that's it boys (5-10sec of utter embarassment and let down all your pride moment).. .. u guys shd give it a try next time (your balls in your mouth.. nothing comes out.. ) a good learning exp... hais..

But, after walking out of the theatre (out of sight) i thot to myself.. hey it din matter what happened.. what really mattered was i actually did it... WOoHOo.. and you know what... I'm sure the rest ...whatever it is... the big guy would have it all planned fer me! sweet as.. Obstacle cleared .. good to go soldiers.. thanks fer sticking by me team... the support was heartfelt .. and very appreciated...

MAKE IT STOP!

2006-08-03T07:56:00.000+12:00

Finally, I can take a breather. *big breath in and out*. Tonight's been nuts! I've been running around literally non-stop since 10:34pm and it's now, what's the time now? 7:51am! Wah Piang! (Louis, Singaporeans use this as an exclamation sometimes, I dunno when or how to use it, but it just feels appropriate in this instance.) This has been the busiest night of nights ever!
I QUIT! Nah... I QUIT! Should have been a dentist! (Yeah, they have it sweet!) *grumble grumble*. Haha. No no no, I love my job. It get's a little crazy at times, like when everyone on the wards seem to get sick all at once and there are acute admissions left right centre and nurses page you incessantly for sedation and laxatives (for the patients, not for themselves), but when it's all done and you're still alive, it gives you a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. And to hear a soft "thank you" as you leave wee old Mrs. T's bedside after making her feel better with nothing more than a little analgesia and reassurance just makes all the toiling worth while.

Hehe, naughty nurses. At about 5am, after realising I was really busy, and after I had whined and moaned (teasingly) about being paged so much tonight and after I stomped into the 4C nursing station flinging my arm and dramatically demanding they "make the work stop, make it all stop NOW!", they promised not to page me again for the rest of the night. And guess what? Just after I stepped off the ward, MY PAGER WENT OFF! But this time it wasn't a job page, it cheekily read "we promised we would txt you, love 4c".

Oh yes, I have to thank Wan Ing and Daryl for leaving me texts throughout the night. And Wan Ing who volunteered to pray. :) Good to know I wasn't alone. *sigh*. Oh, and Terence (my posse) rang me all the way from Msia.

Moral(s) of the day:
- If you're busy with a purpose, it makes things all worthwhile.
- Good things can come in the form of something you dread.
- La Vitans never walk alone.

Hey lavitians ... mid week liao (nb. Louis if u dunno what this means it means 'alr') hope everything has been great so far...whoa this week i realised i was quite far behind work so had heaps of catching up to do... Oh life has been a whirlwind ay .. keeping in touch with frens back home (after i got my broadband), watching grey's anatomy, study and the exercise regime, i rarely have time for anything else ... really need discipline.. but once again im assured because im alr special and able to juggle everything because.. i have an extraordinary God.

Sunny.. why the sudden disappearance agn. we dun even see each other in the hall anymore wheres the team spirit =( ? `hais..

anyway tmr is D day H hour.. im gonna intro myself to Yvonne..u know whether it work or it doesnt.. i know i must like give it a shot.. like what she thinks in the end is her choice.. and like God will decide where we go in life.. but then agn we must seize the oppurtunity he gives us.. so here goes... yea.. but Vk after having that chat on msn with u i realise dat in the end holding out fer the right gal is going to be really worth it.. and i suppose we just know that it will be that way cuz good things can only happen when we find a gal who loves god lots and we love her too (this becoming soapy).... like and all we can do now is be patient and grow.. cuz when the right time comes , ' its SHOWTIME'

And! Louis...-.-" quit teasing me~ I mean... hmmm... I am still OLDER than you! *WAHAHA* (at least give it a month from the first day we got to know each other, then we start the mutual attack... currently i am enjoying the one way attack from me to you~ haha!)

Yukai! Keep going!! Do not let CFC ruin ur chance of impressing the hot beach babes in sg with ur ABs! (Always bear in mind that CFC will make ur ABs become 6-in-1! *GASP*)

Patient B: O.O!!! Lets leave...
And Hence, a QUIET night...^^
(Oh, and please dun talk to urself when u come into my room in the morning... i was just thinking abt how funny it was... vK:"why is ur room so dark?" I was like "look at the weather outside, my dear...and with the curtains drawn...what dyya expect -.-"" But then, i was too tired, couldnt be bothered responding to ur statement...The thought of u mumbling to urself just makes me crack out laughing... ^^)

I've spent 30min writing the above... Lets see... I should go settle the new batch of flyers and get them printed out in time for the talent quest tmr night. That calls for John Jong...

And also, my assignment due next wed shd be finished off by end of this week cos next week's gonna be PACKED, PACKED, PACKED! *WHOA*

Graveyard Shift

2006-08-01T03:19:00.000+12:00

Night 4 of the graveyard shift. I'm half way through. Surviving, but, boy, am I looking forward to going back to more humane working hours.

Just got back from an emergency. Massive gastrointestinal bleed. Received a page at 2:02 am. Ran to the scene and gasped at what I saw. A middle-aged man lying in a pool of his own blood. There was blood everywhere. He had vomited a huge amount of fresh clotted blood and passed fresh blood per rectum. His blood pressure fell to 60/30 (normal being around 120/60)and he had a haemoglobin of 61 (lower limit of normal = 130). It was like a scene out of a horror movie. Amazing thing was that he was still conscious and talking! We cannulated him and started fluid resuscitation with 2 units of O- blood stat. Blood pressure improved and held at around 130 systolic. Yikes! I've had to attend to GI bleeds, but not one of that magnitude! Thank God he's gonna make it.
Okay, no more dramas tonight, please. One like this is plenty!

Is it "Dunedin Hospital's Annual Bleed Night" tonight, or something? Coz I wasn't told!
Since I came on tonight, there's been one massive GI bleed and two unresolving epistaxis (nosebleed) cases admitted into hospital. It's funny how things sometimes happen in clusters. Like tonight is bleed night. I remember a while back it was "faecal impaction with overflow" day (it's when someone's so constipated that you have an overflow of faeces, which can be misdiagnosed as diarrhoea), then there was Sepsis Day, etc. I'm probably exaggerating a little, coz 3 cases of bleeding probably doesn't constitute an epidemic, but tonight certainly has a "theme" or "flavour", if you may, of bleeds. I hope they don't gimme beetroot or strawberry youghurt or anything red in my packed meal... let's see... GREAT! Meadow Fresh Strawberry Yoghurt! The irony!

Phatties Day! #1

2006-07-30T04:35:00.000+12:00

Phatties Day

Who came:
La Vita: Louis, Sunny, Yu Kai, Vince, Wan Ing and Martin.
La Vida: Ben, Justin, Gina, Johnny.
La Vie: Pat, Chewy, SuLyn and Jane.

We brought Wan Ing's special Teriyaki Chicken, which tasted awesome!

Worship was led by Justin.

*Sunny Quote of the Day*
(When given a stack of lyric sheets for the praise and worship songs to pass along). Don't give me so many, I can't read all of it!

***** [Wan Ing, you wanna fill in the gaps and make this interesting??]

vK

Aight! Lets see... What else happened... We (i meant THEY... cos i was BUSY sleeping....) played mafia... and turned out the Gina thought she was one of the mafia's...(the other mafias being Vince, Yukai and Chewy) And erm... there was this huge miscommunication... but yea... it was all good laughs...

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
