Comfortable silence
I was reading a blog post. Coz I suddenly wondered.. what is silence to different people? uneasiness? O.o
We do experience a lot of uncomfortable silences in our lives, don't we? o.O
I guess some people just lyk to talk on and on. They feel weird if there's silence [".]
hahas~
"True friendship comes when silence between 2 people is comfortable." -David Gentry
Wahs, let me count the number of people I feel comfortable even when there's silence... (don't count my immediate family members, is cheating! x_x) 1, 2, 3..
But to some extent, I agree. You can't be talking 100% of the time with any1 right? then what happens when both of you are tired? Just continue also? O.o LOLS
there was this opinion that if u're alone with sum1 and there's comfortable silence... then that person is really special to you. I think that applies for me (: hahas~
Sometimes, it's nice to not talk & just enjoy the company of someone ^^
Just lyk with Daddy... I don't have to always hear or feel Him to noe that He's there. I just know He is. & I really enjoy His company, even at times when I don't feel it, I know He is there (:
Only two people who have known each other a great deal can sit comfortably in silence. Among new acquaintances, we force ourselves to keep the conversation going. Silence feels forced and awkward. In the intimacy of an old friendship or within a marriage, however, the silence can be comforting. We do not feel the need to always come up with something to talk about. There is no pressure to perform. Nothing is forced. We are free to just be in the presence of the other.
So it should be in our relationship with God. In our prayer, our conversation with God, do we always feel the need to be talking? Do we ever stop to listen? God, who loves us and knows us more intimately than any human ever could, exists within us and invites us to just be in the presence of the divine. Obviously, conversation with God and being with God are different than our human relationships. In our interpersonal encounters, we can see the person with whom we are conversing, we can hear their voice on the telephone, or read an email from a friend. With God, we need to trust that He is always there with us, whether we sense Him or not. It is up to us to open ourselves to the possibility of experiencing God. In silence, we can more fully allow ourselves to be open to that possibility.
YUPS (: Daddy is there~~~~
I don't know about others. But I really enjoy certain peoples' presence, regardless whether they talk or not ^^ YAY
happy 19th bdae 2 nadiah!!! We gave her a whole collection of green stuff, from green apple to green highlighters, to green fulscap, green hairbands, green bag, green umbrella (: COOL right? she luved it ^^ she lyked how we took so much effort to make sure everything was green. xD AAAAAAWWWWWW YAYS, we rock (:
she's going out with her dar. probably already home by now [".] so sweet!!! He didnt wana tell her where they were going x) so romantic!!! a surprise lehs!! @_@
Sry, I'm a bit "sua-ku"... I'm super easily pleased 1 (: I remember when my 1st boyfriend popped up surprisingly at a barbecue party me & my friends held, I was quite shocked plus surprised. then I got irritated coz he didn't tell me he was coming -.- which sort of angered me. LOLS & guess what? I was in primary 6. LOLS =.=
I think God agrees that Chloe is deprived of love. I told Den about my 1st love at primary 6 before. He was telling me in absolute shock, "primary 6? primary 6 I eating television!" LOLS x_x no lahs, he was eating something at that time. So yahs [".] turned out so wrong @_@ LOLS
Hahas~ but he was a sweet guy (: from primary 1 to 4 he always protected me. I was a crybaby. I still remember such stuff x_x LOLS coz he was lyk this nice person who always make me happy when I cried. (& mind you, I cry like duno wad when I was young x_x LOLS ) then we just drifted apart in primary 5. then he lyked my classmate. Which wasnt really painful becoz i probably didn't noe wad love was. It was probably juz infatuation & juz a thrill of having a boyfriend -.-
YES, I know, I was so lame & deprived of love .___. WAS ok? O.o
He gave me a birthday card for my birthday. then after some time, he told me that he liked me. I was lyk O.o I really didn't believe. so I didn't give any answer. then, 1 week later, his classmate came & told me that he is going to be with his classmate. (we were in different classes already) & I told my good friend that I was a bit sad. my good friend called him. Then he called me. & then... he said that he feels very confused now.
So the next day, he skipped school to think about it. LOLS so comic right?! But at that point of tym... I was really quite nervous. Then in the afternoon he called me & he asked me if we would stay together even if we're in different sec schs. Coz our choices were 95% different. I agreed that we would.
& then... he broke the other girl's heart. I will never forget that day when she & her friends walked past me & my friend. & they said really loudly, "3rd party."
I was really...T.T I didn't tell him. After that we drifted apart. I feel super bad towards him. Becoz I shouldnt have let him break that girl's heart & then not really treasure him.
UGH Chloe...
Oh my sky... I really didn't know what love was until I met Daddy (: God is the ultimate love ^^ no man will be able to give unconditional love and always put you before him or herself. But Daddy can x) & He forgives & forgives despite us making countless mistakes x_x
Lord, I offer my life to You... Please guide me as to what I am to do...
Although I was unhappy & lost, I know You will guide me through everything (: Daddy I love You~ x)
2dae we tried to do a poem comparison in lit tutorial. Amal chose the poems. It's in our poem comparison booklet. page 20.
Renouncement by Alice Meynell & It may not always be so by E.e. Cummings.
It was e 2nd poem that we talked a lot on.
Mrs Lofthouse started to weep. Then Siti started crying & went to the washroom until she felt better and came back. I started crying after hearing some of the parts of the discussion...
It may not always be so - by e.e.cummings
it may not always be so; and i say that if your lips, which I have loved, should touch another's, and your dear strong fingers clutch his heart, as mine in time not far away; if on another's face your sweet hair lay in such a silence as i know, or such great writhing words as, uttering overmuch, stand helplessly before the spirit at bay; if this should be, i say if this should be - you of my heart, send me a little word; that i may go unto him, and take his hands, saying, Accept all happiness from me. Then shall i turn my face, and hear one bird sing terribly afar in the lost lands
----end----
It was actually ok when I analysed it on my own. It didn't strike me or anything. It was just... a poem. a normal poem I'm doing for PC.
Then... we started discussing. & soon, it just struck me when mrs lofthouse started getting emotional. She said that love was lyk a hypothesis, it may not always be so. You know that even if you've been together for so long, that you have a possibility of being separated. Of the person leaving.
Words are our weapons that we use to arm ourselves against others, but they are futile weapons of defence. When one is in love, we are really vulnerable.
Then we came to the sacrificial nature of the poem. Tim said that love seems to haunt. That even when you try to leave, you will continue hearing her joyful singing in the faraway lands as she's in love. & even though you turn your face, it still follows you. Everything is just... gone. You are left all alone.
Siti started crying & she asked to leave the classroom. Then a movie clip just played in my mind...& I just cried when I really couldn't take it... when I heard Tim say that love comes back to haunt. & then it just really struck me.
Because early in the morning as I was going to school, I was thinking...
& then we were debating if it was sacrificial. Tim was arguing that he had no choice. So he didn't really see the sacrificial parts. Shaun agreed. But the girls and Mrs Lofthouse didn't think so. I agree with the girls. Maybe it's just... something most girls would agree with. This persona is magnaminous, generous. It's the ultimate in love... letting go.
After lit tutorial, siti was still feeling upset. She was still crying as she talked to xiu. My heart just ached for her. I hugged her & just didn't say anything. At that moment, I felt the tears just well up in my eyes...
Yet beyond those tears that I shed today because of that poem, I know that Daddy's love is not built on a hypothesis like the love of man. He is always there. He never leaves our side. He's always there to comfort, to carry my burdens, to just be my listening ear, that shoulder to lean on, the one to take away my unbearable pain. (: God, You are really an awesome Daddy ^^
& no words can describe how glad I am to have found my way back to You.
(: Lord, You are so great ^^
With Daddy on my side, it's really much better (:
Yeah, it does haunt. You try to forget. You think you have succeeded. then...something just has to happen. & you are just naturally reminded about it...
But then... God really helps. Talking to Him... just takes most of the pain away. x) YAY! No1 else that I talk to will be able to give as much comfort as He gives~
God, was it really Your answer to my question?
It doesn't matter coz... I just know You will make a way.
2dae in civics we made hearts for each other & rote words of affirmation. Hon ignored me 4 a while 2dae. Coz I was sort of avoiding people (very very indiscreetly) becoz I wasnt really in a very gd mood. I've become quite short-tempered over the last 2 days. for some hormonal reasons. LOLS x) but we made up & we rote 2 each other. Hon rote such touching stuff that it nearly made me tear. She told me that she loved me but she had no idea how else to show her appreciation for me. I told her how much I treasured her, even though I didn't show it. She's e 1st one I turn to when in trouble. Or when something happy happens. Then followed by Sijie. Actually it depends who I meet first. LOLS x) Actually, I think that was e past. Now... I think... God has risen up from last on the list (I used to only tell Him stuff when I was really in dire need of help) to first. I'm so happy that He is slowly becoming my number 1, even above my friends... This is the way it should be. Becoz His love is really the best thing that ever happened to me.
God, Thank You. I really can't thank You enough. Let's just say... I thank You for everything (: You are truly 100% the best Daddy in the whole universe!!! =)

CHRISTIAN WAYS TO REDUCE STRESS
Eve sent this to me (: I think it's quite helpful lehs~ ^^
1. Pray 2. Go to bed on time. 3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed. 4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health. 5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your life. 7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.) 8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places. 9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together. 10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns . If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety. If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it . 12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases. 13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc. 14 K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble. 15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
16. Carry your Bible (whatever denomination) with you to read while waiting in line. 17. Get enough rest. 18. Eat right. 19. Get organized so everything has its place. 20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.
21. Write down thoughts and inspirations. 22. Every day, find time to be alone. 23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray. 24. Make friends with Good people. 25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good 'Thank you Jesus.' 27. Laugh. 28. Laugh some more! 29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all. 30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).
31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most). 32. Sit on your ego. 33. Talk less, listen more. 34. Slow down. 35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
36. Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before.
GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU. 'If God is for us, who can be against us?' (Romans 8:31)
Thank you, Eve (: HmM [".] Shall try & do e stuff mentioned ^^

TEP outing...service & East coast park (:
YAY
Had a gd outing with e tianjin exchange ppl (: all 11 of us were there!!!
& we took 2 new group photos ^^
Shall upload e photos next tym [".] I super lazy now @_@ still muz wait 4 it 2 upload, which takes super long [".] Shall do it tmr
Now uploading e photos frm e dvd CY burnt 4 us 2 facebook (:
YAY ^^
Haf 2 concentrate on tt
Den & I went to fetch Yiheng & Yuhui from somerset mrt. Yuhui was kinda late. LOLS x) She waited 4 us at orchard point. As Yiheng Den & I walked 2wards dere from e mrt station, Yiheng asked, "so did anything special happen 2 u on V-day?" so we were talking about our own experiences. So I told em about sending my online dar a rose & giving him e surprise of his life LOLS. then Yiheng said he got a soft toy frm a gal plus a very long letter tt suggests more than frenship kinda thing. But he doesn't lyk her so yahs [".] although I tink studies r impt, but if both reali lyk each other. y not? O.o My personal opinion lahs @_@ can dun agree 1. & Den said he got an anonymous flower frm sum1 who called herself a smiley face!!!! LOLS I tawt tat was super funny! But so scandalous lahs, anonymous flower whoa~~~!! Yiheng was energy low 2dae before & during service T.T sadly...he was replied me with 1 sentence answers when I tried 2 strike up more conversations wif him. I even changed place wif Den coz Den was not talking to him much. x_x & I felt tt he looked bored. but I worried unduly coz... Louis is a gd talker [."] he realli can talk lahs! -.-"
Service was gd (: I lyked e song we sang. But duno e title so nvm *shrugs*
Aftr service we went 2 e basement of cuppage plaza, & xiu presented xianjue wif e bdae prezie 4 her (: it was a heart cushion. I personally lyked e card xiu spent tym 2 do.^^ actuali i havent paid 4 it yet @_@ ugh -.-" LOLS although it was a little last minute, I cud tell she luvs her sheep a lot (: YUPZ ^^
My sheppie luvs me 2 (: Glad tt we made up & r more lyk last tym.
Actuali I hate saying sorry. esp when I noe sum1 is angry wif me. I dun think it helps. U hurt ppl already then say sry? wad use is tt? u cant take back wad u said.
But I realised... yahs [".] shud say sry 2 others, regardless of u noe tt dey wun reali 4gif u instantly. seriously.
Most of my best frenz & me dun haf habit of sayin sry [".] guess this is y i turned out lidat. & y deir relationship wif each other started 2 hit e rocks. 4 me, I juz try 2 detach myself more & more...
tt day I was toking to Fangyunie. We were talking about Den coz I was saying tt I alwaz pour a small portion of my troubles to Fangyun, but people lyk Den r rather guarded. Then it juz struck me tat I myself detach myself from relationships, even wif close frenz. I try my very best not to let anyone affect me 2 much...[".] WAH chloe, u r cold blooded arh [."] SIGHS
After service, Yiheng instantly regained his highness. [".] LOLS I think maybe he was reali tired or he juz felt awkward there T.T I feel sadded coz I din reali help very much 2 make him feel at ease 150%.. I was at onli... 75% ): I tried but [."]
when we were heading to east coast, we were going up e escalator. CY went 2 buy baos so he went ahead 1st. Yiheng, me, Den & Yuhui were going down e steps. then I half tripped and hit my foot against e step. So I almost fell on Den but I regained my balance. Yuhui was at e back so she said she tawt I was going to kiss him. I was totally lyk... OH MY SKY LAHS -.-" PLZ!!!!!!!!!! O.o I got maligned!!!!! -.-" great job, Chloe u r so clumsy tat u can even trip as u go up an escalator?! =.= GOSH
We all got abit hungry, so all of us bought food on e way. CY bought chocolates. I bought a bao, so did yuhui. But she threw hers away coz she said it was disgusting. LOLS! waste food x_x Mine was ok (: YAY & then later Den got hungry & bought old chang kee waiting 4 e bus stop. I recommended him e squid nuggets (: & he said is nice ^^ OF COZ, I recommend 1 lahs, Chloe has gd taste! then Yiheng was lookin at speakers sold in e shop next to old chang kee. CY, Den & Yiheng bought e same ones in tianjin. they haggar e price lyk siao @_@ although Den & CY not reali gd at bargainin [".]
LOLS we gals were better. we can slash price lyk duno wad ^^
e bus came rather quickly. Den was jokingly unhappy, he was lyk, What? I cant eat lidat. Bus was squeezy. But we finally managed 2 sit down 1 stop away from our destination -.- LOLS. then CY & Yuhui had a little disagreement. yups (: hope he gets over it ^^ CY arhs... Yuhui was juz being [".] duno. She apologised 2 me, she admitted tat she was abit AP during e outing. 4gif her lahs =) we r all frenz wad! ^^ Yuhui Den & I went to Yiheng's house 2 get rollerblades 4 yuhui b4 joining CY at east coast park. He went back 2 change & get his bike. (although in e end he still had 2 rent a bike coz his tyre punctured @_@ poor guy)
We met his sister when we got down from e bus stop. We din noe it was his sister. he ran after her instantly wifout waiting 4 Den, Yuhui and me. So Den said "Zhong Se Qing You" (chinese proverb used on people who value their boyfriend/galfren or other half more than their friends) then we found out... it was juz his sister -.- I told Yiheng wad Den said about him and he went >>>>> =.="""
LOLS
So we reached east coast & met up wif every1 cept wanling & siqi & diantha at mac's. CY was being -.- He got anything oso wana scold me. But i tink is coz he in bad mood lahs @_@ It din reali affect me at 1st... until quite late [".] LOLS but is okies ^^ I understand every1 got bad mood tym (: I juz had mine on tuesday, wednesday n thursday. not a gd experience.
Fangyun Pammie & I walked all e way 2 e lagoon 2 eat. (: We cam-whored lyk mad on e way dere. coz e scenary was so nice =) YAYS shall post picts next tym
Den & Shimon got cheated. $7 rental for 1 hour. single bike. =.= poor thing lahs they...
I treated those who werent late 2 carrot cake (: YAY then I oso sort of treated em to satay. Coz dey all nvr pay me. & I paid 4 it 1st.
I tell u, CHLOE IS REALI BAD at asking ppl 2 pay 4 stuff x_x I normally end up paying a large portion of a present supposed 2 be shared coz I duno how 2 ask.
SIGHS
I cant be loanshark. I sure die 1
anyway it was fun juz sitting there n toking =) although I was a bit quiet. after tt we took group photos (: now it wun look so ugly when we gif ppl their bdae cards. (coz I alwaz put a grp photo dere on e card whoeva bdae it is^^) tt day Pam was telling me, u do 4 every1, later ur bdae nobody do 4 u! LOLS -.-" *Sighs* If reali lidat... is ok lahs (: I mean... I dun gif ppl prezie expecting 2 get sumthing in return [".] it is my luv language x_x although I wish it wasnt so so I wudnt haf 2 spend money each tym i wana show sum1 I luv em
Which brings me 2 my next point. So after tt we walked 2 e bus stop at Victoria school coz we all wanted 2 go home n it was late. Pam, Den & I took e same bus.

2dae God said that He would give peace and joy... :) Really brightened up my day
2dae He worked a tiny "miracle" in the lives of people around me. God You are really great.
Hon told me, For God. I tried harder for my God.
I looked at her... & at that moment, I understood better. For God... I can try. I can learn.
It's always easier to choose the easier way out, isn't it?
Yet I know... I somehow know that His love will pull me through everything...

Well...
I understand where people are coming from when they give me advice.
it's ok... coz Chloe knows that she's a christian only because of God's love. & every1 is different & our relationship wif God is personal. & every single person's relationship with Him is different & unique.
God will tell me what He wants for me.
I think I will talk to Tim about my troubles & queries tomorrow.
2dae I was talking to Hon. then xiu heard and she gave her insights. after listening to our views, she kept quiet. I could tell she didn't agree with what we were saying...
It's really ok with me. I mean, we all have different opinions. I respect her coz she's my sister and also coz she's more mature compared to me. Yet it doesn't mean that I always have to agree with anyone just because they are more mature.
Anyway, I'm blogging more in my private blog from now on. (which no1 will eva be able 2 find ^^ OHOHOHO~~~) So expect to see less of my entries in here .___. I'll blog about outings and interesting stories I wana share etc. yups (:
Btw... Mikey sent me this email...
It goes like this:
ONE PARAGRAPH THAT EXPLAINS LIFE!
Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?
To this Arthur Ashe replied:
" The world over -- 50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis,
500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam,
50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals,
when I was holding a cup I never asked GOD 'Why me?'.
And today in pain I should not be asking GOD 'Why me?' "
Happiness keeps you Sweet, Trials keep you Strong, Sorrow keeps you Human, Failure keeps you humble and Success keeps you glowing, but only Faith & Attitude Keeps you going...
======End=========
Thank God 4 Mikey. I luv every single 1 of my brothers and sisters in my class =)
What would I be without their encouragement every time I'm weary? ^^
Yes, God, I shall not ask Why Me when I'm going through problems because i do not say "Why Me?" when He blessed me with His love and grace.
I am finding it harder and harder to confide in certain people. It's ok though =) Coz ultimately, what matters most is my own relationship with God. & I will confide in Him, I will put my trust in Him & I will listen to Him.
I can do anything through Christ who strengthens me.x)
Btw, I'm going 4 ACJC funorama. I shall go 2 dear's stall to help em buy sum stuff ^^
Dear got canoeing competition that day. I hope he wins (: hahas~ God bless dear xD
Anyway..

Got a hair cut today!!! =)
Although [".] din cut alot... din cut as much as I wanted to aniwae [."]
*sighs
Tim is so nice! He reali burnt me a mp3 cd wif alot of worship songs...!!! ^^ I'm so touched x) thank God 4 people lyk e brothers & sisters in my class =)
2dae early in e morning when I went 2 prayer meet, I was feeling very moody n tired. I tink it's monday blues. Din wana tok 2 any1.
Until I went to join 2807's queue and then Hon & Huiyi were so funny that I couldn't stop laughing. & Sijie was sijie as usual, cheery & funny. So they chased away my unhappiness.
During maths, when Hon took out her pencil box, I noticed this strap saying "I have Jesus in my heart." So I said, "Hey, wad's tat? It's pretty!" Hon said, "do u want it? I can gif it to u? My aunt gave it to me." & I was lyk... WAH u want me 2 take sumthing sum1 gave u? But I said, can I borrow it 4 a day?
Coz I felt spiritually drained. So Hon agreed readily. I wore it on my right wrist. & as I admired it when I felt totally bored in maths, I felt happier ... lols I noe it's weird [".] But who cares? as long as it helps ^^
I wore it everywhere until the last lesson of the day when I returned it to Hon. then she wore it on her wrist. LOLS I was telling her, we r Daddy's children. Then she told me again, I'm so glad u accepted christ, darling...
& I felt this warm and tingly feeling inside.
Thank God I found my way to Daddy. Or rather, He led me to Him.
=)
I was telling Tim about how unstable I was in my faith yesterday.
So he told me all these... sorely through sms. (Yes, his smses were seriously LONG) Hey Chloe, there comes a point in our christian lives where we no longer feel the glow. Even christian music sounds not so enriching anymore. There are disagreements & sometimes people dun understand & it can be pressurising. At this point you ask yourself, y m I a christian. & in e end u realise it's becoz God's love 4 u is so great, it can wait out these dry preiods & see u through. It's God's will for us to grow. Phil 1:9 says '& this is my prayer, that your love may abound MORE in knowledge and depth of insight.' The Holy Spirit wants to show us new things that will make us happier. God promises us that if we seek Him in His Word everyday, He will be found, & when we spend quiet time with Him everyday, trusting Him with our time, we all grow. Naturally. But we need not feel pressurised.
The Bible says in 1 Tim 1:16 that Jesus has unlimited patience for us. Jeremiah says that God knew us even before we were born. He understands You perfectly is and patient with all of us. Trust Him with your quiet time everyday. If people are checking up on u about that, dey dun mean to pressurise u, but simply care about u. Really. & about disagreements, bring them before God. God tells us to bring all things before Him. two things. Do our part. If we need to forgive a grudge, we forgive. & trust. For God to have the freedom to move and work in our lives we must trust Him and take our hands off the steering wheel. We must stop worrying & trust God will take what we bring before Him and work in us.
We are all humans, very unstable, & that's y it's a comfort to noe our almighty God, firm as a rock, stable, unwavering, God is unchanging throught the beginning and the end. Take comfort in Him.
As I typed what he told me here, I feel myself reflecting fully about what he is trying to tell me. & I think I get it so much more compared to yesterday. I was so overwhelmed that I cried reading his messages & din reali contemplate on the true meaning of his sentences.
thank God 4 Tim once again! What a great guy =)
It's so funny how I find it very irritating when I ask people some spiritual stuff I duno & they seriously start treating me like a baby. Either that or I completely don't understand, & they get irritated with my questioning.
Excuse me, I'm just trying to learn more.... I don't see anything wrong with that... =( do u nid 2 react like that? O.o
never mind~
2dae I read a verse in Matthew. But I 4got which. Which spoke about forgiveness. & I showed it to Hon coz she was having difficulties forgiving sum1.
She knows lah, that we should love even our enemies, yet.. I think she's struggling with that emotion called anger.
HmM [".]
anyway yesterday I was looking at facebook & I saw this quiz I took which said I had attention defecit disorder. It's a kinda, joking type of quiz. But it juz struck me. O.o M I reali so restless? [".]
I'm soaking myself in the songs Tim gave in the mp3 cd now.
I feel happier =)
YAY
Got a couple of nice songs... A bit 2 many 4 me to handle @_@
I so nid 2 transfer em in2 my player. My player is exploding... =(
Aniwae... I think every1 will get a shock regarding my hair tmr. Although there is seriously not a lot of change -.-
I asked to cut very short fringe. Then I changed my mind. I'll juz look toot. So yahs [".] cut the usual type. I wanted it to be shorter so I could put it in front when I feel lyk it but the hair dresser (a guy) said that it's nicer if it's not too short. So he cut it as he deem nice. I was ok wif it, although I'd seriously haf preferred shorter fringe. & e back of my hair is not reali a lot shorter either...
SIGHS
O.o
Guess how much it cost? $100....
& I slept whilst waiting for the chemicals to take effect on my hair. I was rudely awakened when my head, which was resting on my hand realised that my hand had given way somehow. But I didn't sleep for too long...
Maybe next tym I shall perm my hair x) WAHOO
Daddy I love You ^^

Thank God
Thank God 4 Tim
I realised I blogged a lot 2dae O.o (on a random note)
anyway...
Tim reali says a lot of enlightening things!!!!! (:
Thank God I talked to Hon (I was appearing offline coz I was sort of hiding) Thank God Tim messaged Hon about CIP reading programme & she told him I was troubled & he instantly msged me 2 ask me wad was wrong. He spent so much time typing all the super long smses & thank God it really helped me so much... so much
He asked me to think back... why m I a christian? & in e end, u realise it's becoz God's love for u is so great, it can wait out dry periods & see u through.
Phil 4:6 do not be anxious but in everything by prayer with thanksgiving. Present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
I will let this verse fill my heart, body, mind and soul.
Thank You Lord, for placing such important children of Yours in my life (:

This story is quite chim lehs [".]
The Choice He placed one scoop of clay upon another until a form lay lifeless on the ground. All of the Garden's inhabitants paused to witness the event. Hawks hovered. Giraffes stretched. Trees bowed. Butterflies paused on petals and watched. "You will love me, nature," God said. "I made you that way. You will obey me, universe. For you were designed to do so. You will reflect my glory, skies, for that is how you were created. But this one will be like me. This one will be able to choose."
All were silent as the Creator reached into himself and removed something yet unseen. A seed. "It's called 'choice.' The seed of choice." Creation stood in silence and gazed upon the lifeless form. An angel spoke, "But what if he..." "What if he chooses not to love?" the Creator finished. "Come, I will show you." Unbound by today, God and the angel walked into the realm of tomorrow. "There, see the fruit of the seed of choice, both the sweet and the bitter." The angel gasped at what he saw. Spontaneous love. Voluntary devotion. Chosen tenderness. Never had he seen anything like these. He felt the love of the Adams. He heard the joy of Eve and her daughters. He saw the food and the burdens shared. He absorbed the kindness and marveled at the warmth.
"Heaven has never seen such beauty, my Lord. Truly, this is your greatest creation." "Ah, but you've only seen the sweet. Now witness the bitter." A stench enveloped the pair. The angel turned in horror and proclaimed, "What is it?" The Creator spoke only one word: "Selfishness." The angel stood speechless as they passed through centuries of repugnance. Never had he seen such filth. Rotten hearts. Ruptured promises. Forgotten loyalties. Children of the creation wandering blindly in lonely labyrinths. "This is the result of choice? the angel asked. "Yes." "They will forget you?" "Yes." "They will reject you?" "Yes." They will never come back? "Some will. Most won't." "What will it take to make them listen?"
The Creator walked on in time, further and further into the future, until he stood by a tree. A tree that would be fashioned into a cradle. Even then he could smell the hay that would surround him. With another step into the future, he paused before another tree. It stood alone, a stubborn ruler on a bald hill. The trunk was thick, and the wood was strong. Soon it would be cut. Soon it would be trimmed. Soon it would be mounted on the stony brow of another hill. And soon he would be hung on it. He felt the wood rub against a back he did not yet wear. "Will you go down there?" the angel asked. "I will." "Is there no other way?" "There is not." "Wouldn't it be easier to not plant the seed? Wouldn't it be easier to not give the choice?" "It would," the Creator spoke slowly. "But to remove the choice is to remove the love."
He look around the hill and foresaw a scene. Three figures hung on three crosses. Arms spread. Heads fallen forward. They moaned with the wind. Men clad in soldier's garb sat on the ground near the trio. They played games in the dirt and laughed. Men clad in religion stood off to one side. They smiled. Arrogant, cocky. They had protected God, they thought by killing this false one. Women clad in sorrow huddled at the foot of the hill. Speechless. Faces tear streaked. Eyes downward. One put her arm around another and tried to lead her away. She wouldn't leave. "I will stay," she said softly, "I will stay."
All heaven stood to fight. All nature rose to rescue. All eternity poised to protect. But the Creator gave no command. "It must be done...," he said, and withdrew. But as he stepped in time, he heard the cry that he would someday scream: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" He wrenched at tomorrow's agony. The angel spoke again. "It would be less painful........" The Creator interrupted softly. "But it wouldn't be love." They stepped into the Garden again. The Maker looked earnestly at the clay creation. A monsoon of love swelled up within him. He had died for the creation before he had made him.
God's form bent over the sculptured face and breathed. Dust stirred on the lips of the new one. The chest rose, cracking the red mud. The cheeks fleshened. A finger moved. And an eye opened. But more incredible than the moving of the flesh was the stirring of the spirit. Those who could see the unseen gasped. Perhaps it was the wind that said it first. Perhaps what the star saw that moment is what has made it blink ever since. Maybe it was left to an angel to whisper it: "It looks like ... it appears to so much like ... it is him!" The angel wasn't speaking of the face, the features, or the body. He was looking inside - at the soul. "It's eternal!" gasped another. Within the man, God has placed a divine seed. A seed of his self (A seed of choice). The God of might had created earth's mightiest... And the One who had chosen to love had created one who could love in return. Now it's our choice....

Oh my goodness... I luv this story so much T.T *tears welling* x_x
A Child Shall Lead Them From time to time I travel to town from my new found country home. On this particular Saturday it was Adam's turn to accompany dad on the forty-five minute drive -- a coveted pleasure. As we left he promised his two brothers, Tyler and Brandon, he would return with a bounty of candy they all would share. After parking the truck I woke Adam telling him we had arrived. His sleepy brown eyes opened peering out the window. "Can we get candy, daddy?" "Yes, honey. We will get you candy. We need to walk down the street."
Adam, 7, is a curious boy who never lacks for questions. As we walked, he asked about the grand limestone church to our left. "What is that, daddy?" "It's a church, honey. That's the house of God. People go there to pray," I say, trying to avoid a lengthy religious question and answer session -- it didn't work. "What do they pray for?" "Well, they ask Gods' forgiveness for sins and ask God to help people who are less fortunate. "What is less fortunate?" "A person who is less fortunate is someone who may not have a home, food, love or a job -- not being fortunate can mean many things, Adam." "How does God help them? Does he give them food?" "I guess he could give them food but God tends to use other people to help hungry people. God once said, 'What you do for the least of them, you do for me.'" "What does that mean, daddy?" "It means that when you help the poorest of people, you are actually helping God. Do you understand?" "Yes. Can we get candy now?" "Okay, honey. Just a few more blocks."
Adam, like his brothers, has a profound fondness of candy. I am sure that if Adam knew there was a candy treat on the other side of a mountain he would move the entire mountain, stone by stone, to retrieve the treat. We walked another two blocks toward the drug store. Adam had fallen silent. I glanced at him as we walked -- his stare falling on something further down the street. As we crossed to the next block I discovered the source of Adam's attention. He was looking at an old man begging by the store entrance. His gray sweater had numerous holes and pulls exposing a stained T-shirt. He sat with his back to the wall, his hands cupped around an empty hat. As we passed entering the store, Adam briefly stared.
"Can I have my dollar, daddy?" I pulled a dollar from my pocket handing it to Adam. "Thank you, daddy." Adam raced toward a barrel of suckers. He stared wide-eyed, gently touching the packaged treasures with a reverence only a child can harbor. His little hands trembled with excitement. I kept Adam in sight as I picked up the few items I needed. We converged on the cashier at the same time. Adam placed his suckers on the counter. "That will be a dollar fifteen," said the clerk. Adam placed his dollar on the counter. "You need fifteen more cents." Adam looked to me. "Dad, do you have fifteen more cents?" I nodded yes.
We left the store and walked the few feet to the corner. While waiting for the light, I felt Adam gently slip his hand from mine. I turned watching him as he walked back to the beggar extending his priceless treasure. "This is from God," Adam said softly. The old man looked up at Adam. Through gray tired eyes he seemed to smile for an instant. He said nothing as Adam passed the suckers to his cupped shaking hands. Walking to Adam, I picked him up then paused. The beggar looked into Adam's eyes saying, "Thank you, Lord." "You're welcome," replied Adam. I hugged Adam saying, "Daddy is very proud of you Adam. That was very thoughtful."
"It certainly was," confirmed a female voice to my right. I turned and watched a middle-aged woman place five dollars in the man's hat. "May I?" she asked as she leaned over to kiss Adam's cheek. I nodded and smiled -- Adam giggled. "I did all right in my life. It could have been different." A dapper elderly man had knelt beside the beggar placing his hand on a shoulder of the tattered gray sweater. He set five dollars along with a business card in the old hat. "If you are able to work, call my number." The stylish gentleman struggled to stand as the middle-aged female helped him to his feet. "Thank you madam... thank you both," said the beggar faintly, his gray eyes welling with tears of gratitude.
We crossed with the others when the light changed. "Look, daddy." Adam was looking over my shoulder to the man on the sidewalk. A small group of people had gathered around him placing money in his hat.
I couldn't help but recall a thought from the Bible: A child shall lead them.
"Adam? You gave away your treats. What are we going to do now?" His lip started to quiver realizing he had nothing to share with his brothers. He buried his face in my neck. "I don't know," he said in a broken voice. "Well, perhaps I will buy you a cake. There will be lots to share." He pushed away from my neck staring with brown, tear-filled eyes. "Can we?" he asked, rubbing away the tears. "Yes honey?" "Can we get writing on it?" "Yes, Adam. It will read: Adam the Selfless."
=========END=========
My goodness, tat child is really a very selfless child...
I feel so touched (: Daddy really brings out the best in everyone, doesn't He?
Hahas, I feel so much better now ^^
But I shall continue looking for 1 more story...
This last story is a good reminder to all my brothers & sisters (:
Ice Cream Last week I took my children to a restaurant. My six-year-old son asked if he could say grace. As we bowed our heads he said: "God is good. God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if mom gets us ice cream for dessert. And Liberty and justice for all! Amen."
Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard a woman remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even know how to pray. Asking God for ice-cream! Why, I never!"Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?"
As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table. He winked at my son and said, "I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer." "Really?" my son asked. "Cross my heart." Then in a theatrical whisper he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), "Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes."
Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal. My son stared at his for a moment and then did something I will remember the rest of my life. He picked up his sundae and, without saying a word, walked over and placed it in front of the woman that made the remark.
With a big smile he told her, "Here, this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes, and my soul is good already."
Addendum -- 1 Peter 3:9 (NIV) "Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing."
I shall bear this in mind =) hahas~

then me, sijie & xiu wanted to go outside to listen 2 ppl taking part in a singing competition outside PS sing. But xiu stopped at a baby shop. & wanted 2 buy a handphone pouch. She used... a baby's small shoes. GOSh
but is unique lahs~
Sijie & I were lyk, looking around while xiu decided which size 2 take. I was being very idealistic. I told her 2 imagine if I had a son then a daughter. I will spoil my daughter. & plait her hair n let her wear pink n cute clothes. Then my hubby will say "Darling, u luv our daughter so much, u dun luv me anymore" LOLS this photo fits my blog plot. LOLS OHHH so sad x) AIYAH, Chloe u have got 2 be obsessed abt urself x_x hahas~ but I tink if u dun luv urself how 2 luv others? O.o LOLS I noe lahs, is juz excuses 4 over-loving urself xPThen I acted how I'd react, like... NO!!! I luv u 2, darling!!! ^^ Our daughter is lyk e fruit of our love. Then sijie was totally -.- LOLS she said I was so drama, I already planned everything. LOLS x) YAHS!!! ^^ I can't wait 2 get married! When I told Sijie, she was shocked. She was lyk, but u're so young! U think so far already
LOLS -.- of coz not lahs =.= plz lorhs, I haven't even found e right guy. Daddy will bring me to Him. Hopefully we can serve Daddy 2geder =)
Aniwae... 2 get married now is lyk, insane -.- So young!!!
but a gal can fantasize about her wedding, can't she? O.o
then we went outside PS & listened & saw Raj & Hon standing there happily eating their ice cream. We then headed to Cuppage Plaza. Where Sijie, Hon & Raj bought drinks at e mama shop. We met Justina & Shanrui.
I was wondering where my sheppie was. [".]
Anyway yesterday I din get 2 tok 2 her much. I tink tat's partly my fault coz I was wif Sijie 80% of e tym. Coz I wanted 2 make sure she din feel very left out or confused or wad. Coz it's a new environment 2 her
Then we went inside & saw Louis, Den & CY. Sijie was telling me as we went inside e auditorium, tat it was lyk a rock concert. We sat right in front. Sijie seemed shocked, coz it was e 1st row but I asked her if she was ok & she said it was fine. LOLS O.o
throughout e service, I was talking to her. A bit rude. Coz it resulted in me not reali listening. I even left out 1 whole point as pastor shirley was toking. Onli when xiu showed me her book then I realised-.- OH MY SKY
Bad Chloe =.=
Although Sijie didnt convert, I can feel tat she's quite interested. She says she can feel our passion. & tat e atmosphere is very gd. & tat our church is hip & happening !!!! I am so happy XD Thank God 4 this
anyway she's so funny. She wana noe about wad we teach but she is unwilling to go. LOLS so she said she wants me 2 take down & then tell her. I guess tat's ok. But I reali wana convince her to come instead.
I dun think I will teach better than any of the pastors. I mean... HUH I can't teach 1 lorhs! @_@
FAINTS
anyway...
YAY after service, xiu was being lame as we walked 2 dhoby ghaut mrt 2geder. I was walking wif Cy, Louis was on my other side, & Sijie was beside him. Then xiu was walking in front. She turned around & said
"Ei, u 4 look lyk couples! CY wif Chloe & Louis wif Sijie"
We were all lyk .... =.=""
WHAT
O.o
PLZ!! No much such things... i already haf enuf from my crazy parents. How on earth?!?! o.O
then when we were about 2 go home from e mrt station, Louis saw us talking then he came over and asked sijie where she lived. xiu was lyk, y? u wana send her home arh? O.o AAAAWWW
LOLS x)
=.= I tink e both of em will kill me if dey c this -.- SIGHS
But yahs... wad an interesting prospect. sijie & I told louis about us taking a photo of him secretly last year. Coz it was quite an emo sight. & we juz saw it from level 1. sijie submitted it 4 a photog competition. I din realise it was Louis lahs! Until not long ago about 2 weeks ago, sijie was letting me look at e photos in her thumbdrive. & then.. I realised it was Louis!!!
Oh my sky! I suppose it's all Daddy's great plan x_x
Anyway... it was so fun 2 bring sum1. Cy helped me wif explaining tongues & holy spirit baptism. Thanks Cy =)
I hope next week will be as good. my sister has agreed to go!!!

I'll fast from MSN on mondays to fridays. I have totally decided. I will only use MSN on weekends! x_X
this is due 2 e fact tat Daddy has been quite unhappy wif me. (NO LAHS xD) Is I think He is unhappy lahs O.o coz I've been spending so much tym on MSN that my hmwk is piling higher n higher. Daddy, I'm so sorry T.T
Daddy sent sum1 to me. My primary sch fren. He added me on Msn & he asked me 4 my hp number. & He's christian too!!! ^^ YAY wad a coincidence!
He talked about primary sch. e good old days.
We were chatting yesterday when he told me tat he felt tat I looked pretty last tym. oh my sky! I was so flattered x) LOLS I reali seldom get told tat I look pretty... or cute @_@ sadly... I mean, I'm not sum insecure or emo person who thinks I'm e ugliest being in e world... But it's so nice 2 hear a compliment from a guy ^^ LOLS even if he didnt mean it. He told me tat last tym... he & another guy would alwayz snatch 2 sit beside me! oh my sky!
HOW CUM I DUN REMEMBER
@_@
oh my sky, chloe u r realli terrible.
then he told me tat he gave me a sailormoon sticker last tym. It's so amazing how he still rememebers lahs! So cute x) hahas~
okies, i realise I sound a bit wrong... [".] NO it's juz cute... I guess
HEYS yesterday nite I was telling CY tat Sijie said b4 tat Cy looks quite gd looking. & guess wad, he was so happy & became big-headed. LOLS x) evil me x) LOLS but it's true!!! O.o then I told him tat actuali e guys in our care group look quite nice. then I mentioned tat Den was cute. Lyk a little boy boy. (Sijie & Hon agree wif me oso) I meant it tat he looks childish. but a bit mature at e same tym. AIYA so complex. then CY said, HAHA I know ur inner desires. I was lyk O.o wah!!!!! ANYHOW LAHS x_x
anyway, back 2 my primary sch fren called matthew, he sent me sum worship songs. so nice of him =) then we began talking alot about God. & it was nice 2 share sumthing so impt 2 us wif each other. ^^ wad a great feeling =) coz seriously... I dun haf much 2 tok abt wif primary sch frenz coz I dun remember anything! & I dun reali keep in touch wif em. So even when we meet up, it's kinda weird [".] but when we can tok about Daddy, dere's so many things 2 tok about ^^ I guess we juz clicked? O.o
hahas~ then he asked me why I was called chloe. I told him it meant sumthing lyk very vibrant. then he say he agree tat it suits me totally. that i'm a bit siao at tyms. coz 2 vibrant already. WHAT!!! ANYHOW x_X
but it was a nice feeling..
Guess wad?
He found me on facebook juz by anyhow browsing. then he click on my profile n was lyk, hey! tat looks lyk weimun. (I was onli called chloe in sec 1 onwards) then he browsed my photos (I upload everything on facebook wif regards 2 facebook. ever since I got it) so he knew it was me.
hahas~
I think it is all Daddy's plan.
Maybe we r supposed 2 help each other grow & walk closer 2 Daddy ^^
