Online affirmation for yeuann, haha
Hmm, it's been some time since i last posted an entry on this blog. The day is drawing near.... soon we would be in different caregroups. I wonder what would happen to this blog, would it 'die' a sudden death on 3rd feb? Haha, hope it won't. I think this site would be a great place for us to keep in touch with one another. Since we would probably spend less time together in school. Anyway yeuann, i did not affirm you on sat not because i have nothing to say but rather i have a problem with public speaking, haha. So i shall affirm you here, (dun need to face so many ppl) only need to face computer screen,hope you would be reading this post. The thing i could really learn from yeuann, is his eagerness to enfold new brothers and sisters. He has this great burden for new believers which is frankly what i lack. As i shared in the caregroup the other time, i would probably feel something if a particular person is in distress. So i would want to grow in feeling a burden for younger brothers and sister and also be less of a burden to my new leaders. Okay here are some photos i've taken:
isn't this photo amusing... sorry yeuann is it okay to post this?

Dear bro and sis,
=) Just to share this with ur.. haha
Sat as most of ur know, Xueling came for our pre-Christmas service.. haha a fren whom i know during the matriculation year when minchen and nicholas, hongtao came in.. Have been sowing on her for v long,losing contact here and there, then reconnect again..But she's someone whom I have great burden for .. cos knowing what she is going through in her life..
Before the service, she asked me some questions about 'will i feel that i am special' or something along that line (ha cldn't rmb exactly cos we just talked randomly..) then she keep saying she cannot experience God, she will maybe receive Him if she feel that she experienced Him.. so explained a bit to her abt this and was saying that during service God may show her a 'sign' or so, she can ask God for it as well..
So was praying that God will really help her see and feel Him tangibly during service..
then amazingly the question that she asked, Pastor Jeff actually covered it in his following that some parts were what we had been talking about before service! She was so stunned haha cos the questions and all some other thoughts were what she brought up herself, I din even prompt her for it! haha =P So told her that could be the unique star that was guiding her to HIm! =P
Then ur know ah.. when i asked her for the Christmas carolling she was saying she has a concert or something.. haha but thank God for the organizing com who tot of the gift exchange idea.. i was telling her that the person she's suppose to give the gift to will be v sad if she din come for the gift exchange.. haha then she's like.. 'erm..' giving the very uncertain look haha
but guess whose name she drawn? Lalala she drawn my name from the stocking!!! hahaha n i was like thinking God if i drawn her name, she'll come..then she dun need to prepare gift, she's the gift le... haha from the stocking, I really drew out her name!!So I was telling her she's stucked with me le..even God thinks so haha.. so she most prob coming for the carolling.. =P
Truely an act of God!! =)
At the end of it, feel that there are still resistances in her heart towards believing and acknowledging the presence of God though there were 'signs' throughout the night....hmm,bt i'm not discouraged but rather quite encouraged n amazed by God..to see how God really seeks after His people though they may reject Him but He still pursue them faithfully..Yup, so Xueling, not sure how long she will take to come to know Him, but believe God will move in her heart as day passes =)
So to just to encourage ur, our frens may not be very responsive to us when we try to share, or even to God but really dun give up trying, as we sow the seeds, God will definitely help them grow! =)
Gal 6:9- Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Some random exam thoughts..
This blog become quite quiet haha.. think everybody is busy with exams, I post some of my thoughts this few weeks.
Quite enjoyed this semester's camping at E1A.. Got to talk to people more, also can study better compared to home. Get to know people like Huanyan and Jiahao better also.. But for me the best part is, that will wake up early *cos the air con wakes me up*, then go play PnW with Huan Yan, Guan Rui they all, do quiet time, then eat breakfast and fellowship. Very spiritually uplifting time..
This sem, my modules are all over the place.. On one hand got high confidence for Japanese and Law.. On the other hand, think I might do badly Biostats (again). Haha..
Really drew closer to God these past week, really wish I could stay in E1A permenantly, cos where else would you have the motivation to wake up early, PnW, QT and eat breakfast..? Definitely one of the things I will miss when I move on (which is thankfully 3 sems away still).
Can see it has been a stressful time for all, been a period of sweat and tears for me also.. Jiayou for yr exams, those that still taking.. I have paper on wednesday oso sianz..
By the way, remember, 22th December, come my house for dinner ok..? Will have pizza etc.. will call people from other CG also..
Back to studies..

Hebrews 11 - meditations and thoughts...
Hey dear bros, sisters!
YF asked us to read and reflect on Heb 11, so went home and read through it. Ithink these particular verses spoke to me...
[Sorry, it's very long, so bear wif me... and do share your own thoughts too... it'll really help to encourage and edify others ok... thanks! :D]
*******
1. "[God] rewards those who earnestly seek him..."
I think God really wanted to draw my attention to this verse, because what He wants is a heart that earnestly seeks Him. Such a God-seeking attitude pleases Him, because it shows trust in Him.
I remembered this verse really convicted and encouraged me last time when I was revising for my 'A' levels, and I had really done very badly for my prelims (1B, 2Es and an O, and a D7 for GP.). So my parents objected me to going for church services as they wanted me to stay home and study. But this verse convicted me that I must have faith in Him, and even as I study my best, He wants me to seek Him earnestly too, and for my case, that would be committing to attend service and fellowship even though it wouldn't be easy. And thank God, He blessed me with 3As and 1B for my A levels, and the best blessing of all: an A2 for GP! :D So shared that testimony a long time ago...
But now, I was thinking about that, and wondering where my faith in God was, where I so childlikely clung on to this verse last time... but now many years later, I forget so often to seek Him earnestly in something as small as an exam...
But I think what He wants me to remember is that every difficulty - in fact, every moment is an opportunity to exercise faith in God. No moment is ever too small for Him - in fact He longs for us to put every moment of our lives under His perfect control. Eugene's sharing touched me a lot, because it expressed what I was struggling to articulate - my own frustration at not giving my best in studying for Him. But this verse reminded me to SEEK HIM EARNESTLY... because He has PROMISED that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him... He is SUPER-pleased when we have faith in Him!!!
2. "By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known...as the son of Pharaoh's daughter...
He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God...
He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value...because he was looking ahead to his reward...
By faith he left Egypt...
..he persevered because he saw him who is invisible..."
Something I learnt from these verses is that faith is also a personal decision. Moses, when he was old enough to make personal decisions for himself, chose to refuse, chose to be mistreated, chose to regard, chose to look ahead, chose to leave, chose to persevere...
So an important point for myself to apply today is that faith is an active choice. Faith firstly is an active decision to unidentify myself with the old Yeu Ann, the insecure Yeu Ann, the selfish, arrogant, childish and prideful Yeu Ann... and to choose to identify myself together with the people of God, His universal church. To identify myself with the truth what God has already said about me - to see myself as He sees me as what I will be, even though I am not yet now what I will be.
And not just active identification, but actively choosing to forsake the "pleasures of sin for a short time" for a much greater REWARD, that He promised to those who love Him...
And why did he choose to do all these?
I think it's because it came from knowing God's heart, that He would never shortchange him with a lousy reward or even no reward at all... and also, more powerfully, he SAW Him who IS invisible.
Consider the semantics of the grammar tenses in that verse. It has a very powerful meaning. What it means is that Moses actually had a PAST experience in which he somehow managed to SEE a God who is ALWAYS invisible. So what does that really mean?
I think, even if we didn't see a burning bush like Moses did, we can choose to SEE God working invisibly in our daily lives.
To see how He sends the rain upon the thirsty earth,
to see how He feeds the birds every fresh morning,
to see Him present in fellow Christians who love and care for one another ("For where 2 or 3 are gathered in My name, there I AM with them...")
to see Him working fresh in your mind... (you were so tired, but somehow, after praying, somehow your mind started becoming sharper...)
to see His world in a grain of sand,
and His heaven in a wildflower...
to purposely sense His presence while you're worshipping Him...
to purposely sense His presence while you're using the loo...
to purposely sense His presence as you read His Word...
to purposely sense His presence as you read this blog...
And the opposite is true. Ever experienced times when someone chose to treat you as invisible even when you were right there in front of him/her? Think about how much that hurts... and map that hurt feeling multiplied by a trillion times onto Christ's heart when we choose to ignore His gentle voice and dwell in self-pity, even when He speaks to us very clearly, whether it's through His Word or through other bros/sisters or thru life experiences... when we choose to speak faithless words, even though we know that speaking like even God can't help us is a big insult to an omnipotent God.
3. "By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient."
Thought about this... personally, a lot of times, i really feel so bad in terms of character and attitudes, that i dun dare have faith in Him. But think He gently corrected me, telling me that nobody is too sinful in His eyes to have faith in Him. Wow! :D we serve a wonderful Saviour! :D
4. "God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect."
You know, that word "us" really struck me. All along I've read this verse, and somehow it didn't really speak to me until now, when I realised that He has already planned something better for YOU AND ME. Yup, this applies to YOU AND ME. Somehow it's very heartening to know that He has planned something better for us... whatever it is, it's sure going to be wonderful... all part of God's ultimate plan to save and redeem humanity! :D

breakthrough in sowing
hello everyone.. hmm it's been a while since i posted an entry.. anyway, really felt stirred to post an entry here to encourage everyone. :)
the other day during sub-d i was sharing about my prayer needs right.. well, just want to explain more about what's happening these days. actually since the start of the school term, i have been wanting to evangelise and reach out to people but i always didn't know how or lacked the courage to do so. it seemed even harder to me than in junior college, where i was so proud of my faith that somehow everyone in the class has heard me talk about God before. but when i came to uni, it just felt more difficult to answer people when they ask, "where are you going?" or "what are you having tonight?", when the answer was simply, "to meet my church friends" and "caregroup". i guess that the main barrier to me reaching out to them was myself. i had let many opportunities to evangelise fly past me.. and in doing so, i had unknowingly hurt God and caused discouragement to myself as well.
however, God is indeed gracious towards me and He is faithful in what He has planned for me. one night (i think a few days ago or last week), i had a dream. in that dream, i was with this primary school friend of mine. well in the first place, i don't really know him very well and besides, i don't really have a good impression of him (or at least i remb not having a good one). then what shocked me after waking up was that in the dream, i talked to him and after a while, i offered to pray for him and prayed for him there and then. when i woke up, i was like, "wah.. if i can do so for someone who's not so close to me, what more can i do for my closer friends!" i was determined that, yes, God is telling me to start sowing! together with YF's shepherding lesson on tue which was about reaching out and connecting to people, i was really convicted to start sowing once again.
then on thurs (okay the day of testimony!), it was a day when God so evidently put people into my lives and pointed out to me, "LOOK, these are the people whom I love". about 12 midnight (early thurs), i was suddenly prompted to call this junior of mine. she was taking Alevels and is someone whom i've been trying to sow on (she visited our church last year). during this exams period, i've msged her a few times but that night, i just felt like calling her on the phone, not knowing whether i'd disturb her studying/rest for the next day's paper. however, while talking to her, i found that she had no paper the next day and was actually taking a break from study. so thank God i called at the right time! we chatted and i even invited her to service. now, she has told me that she would come for next sat's service! PTL :D btw, her name is joyce too.. heehee.
yup, then on thursday morning itself, when i was in school, i just felt a lot of joy. really unexplained, cos when i usually get to my 8am math lect, i'll be feeling and looking grumpy cos of lack of sleep. but that day, i just smiled to people as i met them. it was like grinning la! and the thing was, i didn't feel stupid for being so joyful (ok norm i would, thinking that ppl would think im a goondoo). God helped me to see that it's always about people, not myself. also, that morning i smsed my friend who was having thai oral exam. this girl was my coursemate from SDE and i've been rather close to her ever since orientation. during lect, i smsed her a prayer for her exam and thank God that she replied with much thankfulness! it was beginning to be like what i dreamt - praying and caring for friends.
after lecture, i went to central lib with 3 friends. while studying, one of my friends received some bad news from home and was rather affected. at that point of time, i was prompted to share with her my headphones to let her listen to P&W songs which i was listening to at that time. i guess that was a big move forward cos i am not very close to her and it was the first time we were studying together. she's a christian too, but not "stabilised" yet. after our studying, i managed to bring her to HQ for a while cos i was walking her back to SDE. thank God for that time cos i managed to talk to her more about church and the importance of fellowship. at the end when we parted, she even said, "bye and God bless you!". wahh.. so cute right :)
then the last person that day was this guy called Alan who joined us for dinner before subd. most of you would have talked to him. haha this person is one potential leader! the fact that he came to join us for dinner is already a miracle. cos that afternoon about 5.30pm i was talking to him on msn. and when i said i had to go off for dinner with my church friends, and offered him to join us if he didn't mind (obviously in my mind i thought he wouldn't want to join us cos i said it was with christian friends.. but God still worked in him amazingly!) . and he was like, okay.. if you don't mind, can i join you for dinner? wow! during the dinner, i got to know him better and thanks to yeuann and hongtao who were there to learn Vietnamese history from him. haha. and i think Alan will be joining us for studying next week! let's get to know him better.
yup, i think that this is a super long post and thank you for reading up to here. haha though, i am not exactly done with what i want to say..
basically, it's just so heartwarming when God expands my heart for His people. to be stretched to love people more. and it's challenging to live out everyday filled with such great purpose - always thinking of how to bring in the gospel, how to capture that opportunity to stand up for Jesus. but really exciting and rewarding! i'm learning to depend on Him more and more each day.. and there is really a big difference in doing so! want to encourage all of us to walk closely to Him and never to put God at the backseat even as we study hard for our exams. with the HS's anointing, we will be able to do much better! Jesus is our

I think some of you know that I missed my LSM2101 CA2 which was last week, cos I overslept. It really bugged me a lot that I missed the test, because it was something stupid that never happened to me before. It's just like missing an important job interview - you just make sure that it doesn't happen no matter what.
Woke up on that day feeling very bad. Even though my first impulse was to go take an MC to cover myself, I decided not to, because I felt it wasn't the right thing to do. So in the end, I had to walk around the various prof's blocks, to appeal to take the supplementary test instead.
I feel very grateful to God, as well as Dr Li QT, who allowed me to take the supp test, even though I did not have a valid reason. I'd readily admit that I'm one person who is not diligent academically, and in the process of these past few days
I was mentally bashing myself, but Dr Li's approval was something that cheered me up somewhat.
Also really thankful for the support of people like Shuyi and Calyn, as well as Jitsy and Guan Zhen, who encouraged and prayed for me in this dark (self-inflicted) period.
~
Jiayou everybody, especially those taking NUS exams for the first time =) Feel glad hearing news about some people who have done well in their CAs. Let's work hard, and give glory to God.

=) Encouraged by the many testimonies of how God's hands are guiding us in our studies!
I’ve been quite busy..haha so tt’s why I only posted this now.. This post has been sitting in my laptop for quite sometime since the first QT =P
Think during this time, there are a lot of thanksgiving points onto God.
1)I wanna thank God too for giving me an idea for my protein engineering term paper, ha the one which many of ur had heard me rant about, having to come out with a novel protein..had been cracking my head over it for a long long time.. =P But eventually I really thank God for popping an idea into my mind as i was praying and researching at the same time. Thank God that I managed to come up with a first draft within the 'date of completion' which I had set myself..it's quite an amazing feat considering when i tried to think of an idea myself, i pondered for weeks, but with God, from no idea to research, to completing the first draft , it took around just a week.. =P Yup.. have handed up the paper, so it’s in God’s hands! =)
2) As all or most of ur know that I was having a sore throat last Tuesday.. then I have a project meet on Wednesday and a presentation on Friday.. I thank God for healing me by then.. =) n in a way Wednesday He made way to allow me to have a good rest.
3) Thank God for our new sister, Huiling as well!! If ur have not met her, can get to know her during service etc.. She really ‘dropped’ from heaven… =P She responded to God herself.. So powerful! Then, thank God for working in our midst, see frens like Wenjuan, Zhichun etc coming to know Him.. =)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yup.. before we have a QT tomorrow, maybe share to ur about this passage, the passage which we did not get to read during the first QT, cos first QT we are reflecting upon what we’ve learnt during the sub-d teaching ‘Forging a real world faith’ Did the rest of ur thought about it? Can share here or to each other when we meet .=)
If ur are feeling tired, stressed, discouraged even? Can read this passage.. David and the Goliath.1Samuel 17 .It will not be an unfamiliar passage I believe..
The passage talks about having victory in our battle..some points to think about :
1) What sets David apart from the rest of the Philistine that he is able to defeat the Goliath?
2) What can we learn from David in this case?
Application:
1) Are there any ‘goliaths’ in ur life? (goliath in this case can be challenges, struggles)
2) What are the steps that we can take to overcome them?
Ha.. it’s a long post.. Despite the busy period, let’s continue to draw closer to God ! This will be a great time to learn to trust and depend on Him!! =)
Jia you bro and sis!! Cya tml for QT!
Yufen =)

wat a happening month
firstly.. i wanna thank all of you for celebrating my birthday for me... really enjoyed the evening and am very blessed by your efforts.. serious! esp the planning.. card.. cake.. etc.. basically everything la... hope all of you enjoyed it as much as i did.. =)
next.. it has been a long and tiring month for all of us im certain... maybe its time for some testimony of how much God bless us haha..
for the whole of the last 2 weeks.. i been working on this project for my database module.. i am supposed to come up with this web application cataloging music albums, artistes, as well as songs... and for 7.5% only.. its certaintly a lot of work... esp the troubleshooting and fine-tuning of the "behind-the-scene" codes...
even on my birthday... i was rushing through the project report which was due at 5pm.. with totally nothing done except the cover page (which i designed long ago for fun).. i had to juggle between coding the project (due the following wednesday) and coming up with the project report.. thankfully.. i managed to get everything up and done by 4:30.. and submitted it before the "jam-period"..
yesterday was the deadline for this project.. and my group is supposed to do a demonstration/presentation of it at 10am in SOC.. and guess what... on tuesday night at around 11pm.. i discovered something horrible beyond words.. the codes done by another project mate could not be fitted directly into the main project.. and majority of it produces at least 4-5 error per page... at that point.. i was totally mind-blank.. donno whether to scold him.. to ask him to do again.. or to troubleshoot thru everything and get it working..
after much consideration.. and the fact that i wanna ensure that everything WILL work the following day.. i decided to re-code the entire thing based on what he has done again.. by normal standards ( or rather.. my own lousy standard ).. doing such a task would require like 2-3 days at least.. but i remembered in my desperation.. i asked God to give me strength and wisdom and speed.. and thx God.. i managed to skim through the code rather quickly.. and by 4am.. majority of the application is working fine.. with only 2 nagging problems that i cannot solve..
however the following day morning during lecture at 8.. somehow donno how i also cannot explain why.. a solution just popped into my head.. so i quickly skipped my lecture and went out to code them in.. and miraculously.. all of them work in the first round of coding aka no finetuning/troubleshooting needs to be done.. amazing rite... those who did programming before will know this is nearly impossible... haha
something nice happened during the project demonstration itself too.. as i was explaining to the assessor how our application works.. both me and my members saw certain logic error in our application.. it was like... GONE CASE.. i just quickly press the link to another page... and the assessor didnt see that.. fastest fingers win~ wahahaha..
overall... i got a rather decent grade for this project too.. i got 17/20 for this .. though i kinda regretted on not doing that extra bit to attain the remaining 3 marks lost... but oh well... considering what happened just less than 12 hours ago.. a miracle has already been performed! =)
i also wanna share about my mid-term results.. the initial scores i gotten was 46/60 for database, 8.5/20 for software engine, and 68/100 for comp.networks.. i was quite happy with my DB results and my networks results.. both much higher than the average of 39 and 55 respectively.. and yet at the same time quite upset by my SE result.. next came moderation of marks for DB and SE.. after discovering of mistakes in marking by both lecturer and students.. my DB score went down by 2.. and my SE marks went up by one.. but on average.. im still doing badly for my SE.. at the very least.. i failed it... when i see the excel file on the results... im seeing double digits (10 n above) and one pathetic 9.5 in the midst of them.. super demoralizing..
den this morning... due to oversleeping and reaching sch late by 30 mins.. i decided to go for the next slot of tutorial and went to compcen to check email etc instead.. realised that the SE marks are changed once again.. so i clicked on the excel file... the single digit was gone! haha my marks went up to 10.5 for some unknown reason hahaha.. song bo :P
so in general... i did quite well for my mid-term! and for projects that has already been graded.. i gotten nearly perfect score for all of them! Praise the Lord man =)
Hope this encourages all of you as we continue in this long and arduous journey in NUS.. things are definitely not easy.. but there is definitely a way out despite circumstances... and dont be too surprised when things turned out much better than you expected.. we have someone working in ways we cannot see ;)
... now back to work on my just-around-the-corner projectS deadlines... 5 down 3 to go~~
:P

Let's have quiet time together.. =)
Link
Dear bro and sis,
Just to keep everyone of you in the loop..as discussed over dinner on Sat, we decided to have a time when we can either do quiet time (QT) aka bible study together or we can discuss about the questions which we encountered during our personal quiet times or apologetics questions..
Believe that these sessions will be helpful for us. Let's aim to learn, grow in depth and understanding of God's Words..and also to learn from each other as well as to encourage and strengthen each other..
Think most of ur should remember the QT times together ya..=) personally for me, quite miss it..remembered that though may feel tired (cos i am really not a morning person..=P) but after each QT session.. I am really refreshed not only by God but also by bros and sis around..which better enabled me to face the rest of the day.. =)
Yup.. so propose that for the weeks when we have no cg, we will be having QT sessions together in the morning..=)
Then, in view of people with lessons, the sessions will be staggered so that hopefully not the same person will miss the sessions. Then if it is a passage, ha maybe will post the passage up the blog..(depending..=P )
So thinking, the first QT session, will fix on the week of 23rd Oct.. thinking of Friday 27th Oct 2006 10am at HQ. Any violent objections ??
Jiahao and Yanteng r encouraged to join us too.. =)
Do let me know if ur have any suggestions..n Jia you for whatever projects , assignments , ur have k.. will be keeping all of ur in my prayer!!
Oh yaya, though i post it here, but as ur know not everyone will read the blog ya.. so haha can help to inform those who dun visit blog often also k..=)
God bless: Yufen =)
We are blessed to be a blessing!
Hey bros, sisters!
Think you all know by now that we have 2 new sisters in 2 weeks!!! \(^.^)/
Zhi Chun (from Michelle's CG) and Ai Wei (from Qiaoping's CG)! Wow... so happy and excited to see them coming to know Christ! Indeed, as Jesus said, when one sinner repents, all the angels in heaven rEjOiCE! And two sinners repent? Go figure! :D
Haha... But think this is even more encouraging when you consider the barren period before this year when our NUS ministry really had a very hard time bringing people to Christ... but God is faithful! He encouraged the entire sub-D last year with a prophetic word from Sijia and Huichun during the church camp about Him building up a broken-down castle very quickly, brick by brick. Wow, praise God! And we are seeing this happen before our very own eyes.
'The stone the builders rejected
has become the capstone;
the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes'(Matthew 21:42)
Praise God! :D We are seeing God's blessings pouring out into our ministry... remember what Jasmine said during today's sermon? It just struck me just now about God giving us a new provision... He will pour out His blessings upon us! He is doing this, not because we are good by ourselves, but simply because He is SO GOOD!
And He wants to bless us, so that we can be His channel of blessing to the people around us on campus!
aMeN! Dear bros, sisters, since God has been so good to us, let's really not be half-hearted in our ministry to God, but let us be a generation that seeks, that seeks His face! Let's really seek Him with all our hearts, because He has promised in His Word - and He does not lie - that He will be found by us when we seek Him with all our hearts!
Let's be a generation that seeks His face! And He shall pour forth His wonderful grace!
rEjOice in the LORD always!
Love,YA
