we are not here by coincidence and everything happens for a purpose

another crazy day out with shelley and xian.. its "scary" to go out with the 2 of them cos God always talk to us in these amazing ways.. haha.. God is good all the time..

met at 3 thirty.. we went to compass point on impluse.. and after much deliberation on where to eat, (we were all on a shoe-string budget) we decided on kfc.. shrooms meal!! only $2.55.. haha..

anyway, xian queued up for food (what are guys for anyway??) leaving shelley and i juz talking about very very irrelevent stuff.. she told me about her being itchy fingers and opening up her sis's pencil-box ystd.. inside was a bookmark with the verse "ask and u shall receive, seek and u shall find...." and she looked at me and said.. "Lord, i want mm-hmm.. (personal secret)"

den xian came back with food!! *slurp* so makan makan and we were sharing about the goodness of God and how he has a reason for everything.. which suddenly, shelley shared with us abt her relationship problems and how she needs the courage to reject a guy thou she has a wee bit feelings for the guy.. so we talked and talked and talked and discussed it at length.. and den xian babbled abt something and he said "ask and u shall receive, seek and u shall find...." i went "wait!! no way, shelley.. he wasnt here when we talked abt dis verse!" AHHHHH!!!

den on the way home.. u noe those short captions on the mrt tv screens.. it say "take heed.. those who earnestly seek will find.." can u believe it!!

everything that happens has a purpose.. believe it..

(sorry jem!! haha).. popped a pill and went to nap.. woke up 2 hours later.. dolled myself up and went to shelley's house.. i tot i was a klutz.. she was worse!! haha.. she ran upstairs 3 times cos she always forgot something.. haha..

we finally got to rouge, the peranakan place at about 6.40.. with poor xian so tired from the planet shakers conference.. we were the 3rd, 4th and 5th persons there and we gotta goodie bag.. so cool!! truckers cap, stickers, stuff from red earth.. oh well, typical singaporeans la.. we so dig free stuff.. haha..

xian's on the mailing list for VR and they left a secret message for all on the mailing list.. to walk up to guitarist nicky and tell him that he's a sexy beast and we'll get free VR merchandise (he juz went for a make-over see? heard he got waxed.. ouch!!) of cos we said the phrase to get more free stuff and we all got t-shirts!! if u happen to see me on fri.. i was wearing the shirt!! check out vertical rush and surreal's songs: http://www.purevolume.com/verticalrush, http://www.purevolume.com/surrealsingapore.. ear phones please.. links to their webby and other local bands.. haha.. vertical rush and surreal rocks man!! when they play, its impossible to sit still.. music was too good.. we have to stand up, clap, dance, bob our heads, mosh, finger point!! so fun!!!

awesome

2005-03-11T03:19:00.000+08:00

Awesome!!

I know it's weird to see Esther blogging at this time of the night but I really have to blog about this incident.. It's way too cool!

Anyway, tonight I was feelin a bit bored (mebbe very bored) so I asked Shelley and Xian out to chill out at grapevine.. we reached at 9pm and we sat down and talked and talked and talked and talked. geez. We had a real serious discussion about our lives, personal prayer walk with God, friends, our thoughts, church, some experiences we had. Something that that 3 of us has never done before!! the talk started out of nowhere and one thought led on to another and another and not realising it, we talked till 2am!!

God's in control. No, really, it's true. as Xian's quote of the day goes.. "It's not by chance that the 3 of us are here today" and God had His purpose. To build up the beautiful friendship of the 3 of us as well as to inspire and learn from on each other's experiences and we never fail to marvel at the handicraft of God..

Earlier on, Xian was sharing that he intended to go to New Creation Church but he had to work till late so he gotta give the idea up. He was crushed and juz at that time, i messaged him to jio him to grapevine. He agreed of cos and the rest is history.

Another funny thing that happened was, I was tellin shelley in the toilet that i wasn't intending to call her out tonight since we would be meeting on sat for church anyway and after that, our usual routine of hanging out. But I guess boredom overtook me. haha. Then the bomb came: "Esther, guess wat! I wont be coming this sat as i havva family function to attend." omg!! And the next sat, she will be flying of to Perth and coming back the sat after that. Juz imagine how long I would get to see her again and hang out on sats!!!

u get the whole pic?? God has a plan for everything.. who would have tot Esther's bible study will be cancelled today, and xian working late and not able to go to new creation church, or shelley who will be mia-ing for the next few weeks to be all free today juz to talk about stuff!! cool or wat?!

After coming home, I was doing my QT and the passage to read was Psalm 66. This psalm isn't juz warm-and-fuzzy-feelings praise. This is praise for a reason. God's power is huge and worthy to be praised.

Can you remember a time when God's greatness made your eyes pop-with an unexpected answer to a prayer maybe, or a timely meeting? If you can, great; if you can't, don't despair! The psalmist is happy to recognise God's powerful rule in trials and sufferings (vs10-12) as well as good times, as he looks back not only on his own life but the history of his people.

Now turn to praise as you think about all that God has done for you (vs16) and how much He loves you (vs20).

our scandalous midnight rendezvous

haha.. no la.. its not scandalous.. nothing happened.. oh well.. we, the bridge club, were on a mission at midnight.. THINK BIG!!! we were playing bridge.. *smacks head* nah.. we were trying to save the world!!! haha.. like real.. we were doing our KMS photo shoots..

after scaling the highest mountain and crossing the deepest ocean and we finally have all 50 or mebbe more photos.. we, excluding Lindsey, were all so drained after the prep and presentaion of the 30% solution selling call plus we stayed back to do project too but nothing much came out of it.. as usual.. haha.. guess what we ended up doing??? bridge of cos.. only the ever hyper Lindsey was happily skipping around and taking the photos.. we were all dragging our feet and cursing her for dragging us outta bed.. haha.. oh well.. all for KMS.. Ms teo.. U reading this?? we really put in alot of effort u know.. errr.. extra marks?? haha..

sigh.. it's ss class again.. yawn.. what are the differences between IPSec and SS/TLS?? geez.. who cares.. can't she be any more exciting?? hmms.. ctv is on now.. haha.. met josh on his way to do the broadcastin again.. its not me that the bus always comes at the same time and i reach the school at the same time and always meeting a fellow classmate to print ss notes and always meeting josh outside the printing room.. oh well.. life is beautiful.. mebbe not cos its back to the oh-so-exciting ss lesson on SSL... Esther needs a chocolate break!!

bah

2005-02-23T11:19:00.000+08:00

random thoughts..

alrite.. this was supposed to be up on sunday night but due to the oh so very lousy singnet connection, my computer hanged.. and i was way toooo lazy to blog till now.. oh well

i'm in the middle of my oh so very boring ss period. try a 4 hour straight class taking about virtual private networks and practicals later on..

i watched RAY yesterday wif xian, kev and fi fi.. its superb la.. the jazz music was fantastic.. i couldnt get the tunes outta my head.. but be ready to sit for about two half hours la.. haven hung out with them for soooo long and it was good getting together again.. its was absolutely dotty man.. we took neo prints, lotsa silly poses and emo shots with my digi cam..

sigh.. lindsey's somewhere over the rainbow now.. the bridge club has 1 member missing!!! HELP!! its dysfunctional now.. but its okie.. Esther had her bridge fix last nite.. haha.. i'm such a bridge junkie.. xian and jem came over for bridge.. woo.. but the scary thing was that i was with xian for 14 hours straight!! i don't think i've hung out with anyone for that long a time.. haha.. but it was good fun..

I really thank God for friends.. wonder what i'll become without a bunch of good friends.. friends who always seem to know whats on your mind though its scary sometimes.. friends who send encouraging text messages at the right time otherwise i've probably gone bonkers by now.. friends who reminds you to do quiet time (opps!!).. friends to hang out at grapevine just to chill and lax.. friends to call at any time of the day just to laugh and cry over stuff.. friends who are not afraid to incur your wrath just because they wanna tell me i've messed up..

this is me.. and this is my life.. and i thank you all for being part of it.. cheers.. to all friendships where ever yall at now..
