saw this in john's blog...yep..seemimgly, now my posts are like other ppl's blog stuff... =)

on a side note, i saw this while my brother was on the com doing his assignment:

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- The fear of long words. what on earth? the guy who came up with this must be a joker. imagine: the psychiatrist goes up to the patient and says 'you're down with hippopotomonstross..liophobia.' *patient dies from shock*

Then theres this,

Phobophobia- The fear of phobias. haha imagine, if you'r scared of phobias, that makes you fearful of every single phobia there is. imagine: you'l be some kind of a mental retard who's scared of everything. you'l lock yourself in a room all day and do nothing. but then again, in comes Claustrophobia. *laughs out loud*

man, the guy's hilarious.


haha..oh btw...i pulled some muscles/ sprained my right wrist just now while carrying my newly bought table from ikea...so i dun think will blog or sth..in the near future...yup... =)


1. READ IT AS A TWO-WAY CONVERSATION. Imagine having a daily talk with God. You talk to him and he has something to say back to you. That's not a bad way to look at the Bible. Begin your reading time with prayer, asking God for understanding and guidance. Then be prepared to listen as he speaks through his Word.

2. READ IT IN DIFFERENT VERSIONS. Most people have a favorite version of the Bible. Nothing's wrong with that. But sometimes we get so familiar with certain words or phrases that they just don't mean much anymore. So grab a different translation and put a fresh twist on "that same old verse." Here are a few versions worth checking out at Biblegateway.com: The Message, New Living Translation and Contemporary English Version.
3. READ IT TO LEARN ABOUT A SPECIFIC TOPIC. Look up a ton of verses on angels, prayer, love, friendship, evil, happiness, whatever interests you. Many Bibles have indexes or concordances that list verses or passages related to major topics. Biblegateway.com has a button labeled "Topical Index." Use it to search out just about any area you can think of.

4. READ IT FOR THE BIG STORY. As you read the Bible, remember that there's a consistent theme all the way through: After the world goes bad, God sends a death-defying Superhero (Jesus) to deliver humanity from destruction and darkness. That's the whole story from Genesis to Revelation. Look for glimpses of this Big Story each time you read.

5. READ IT TO LEARN ABOUT JESUS. After his resurrection, Jesus led his disciples in a "Bible study" about himself—and he started with the writings of Moses and went on through all the teachings of the Old Testament prophets (Luke 24:27). The point: Jesus is all over the Bible,including the Old Testament. As you read the Old Testament, look for glimpses of Jesus. For instance, every time you read about sacrifices in Leviticus, realize that each sacrifice points to Jesus—the ultimate and lasting sacrifice for our sins (Hebrews 9:11-15).

6. READ IT AS A RECORD OF MESSY HISTORY. Around 40 people from many different cultures and backgrounds wrote the Bible over a 1,500-year period. In the midst of all that history, you'll run across strange ancient rituals and practices. You'll find passages where God's people kept slaves, had dozens of wives, committed adultery, lied and cheated. The Bible really isn't the "clean and neat" book people often expect it to be. But it is honest and real. It also shows God's movement amid imperfect (and sometimes really messed-up) people. And this means our God can be trusted to stick with us no matter what.

7. READ IT INTENTIONALLY WITH A PURPOSE. While there are a lot of good ways to study the Bible, here is a method that works for a lot of people: Pick one book from the Bible and plan to read it from beginning to end over, say, a semester. If you haven't been reading the Bible for very long, pick one of the shorter New Testament books, like Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians or Colossians.

Begin by reading a little bit about the book so you can understand why it was written. Two Bibles with good, short introductions (and many helpful study notes) are The Life Application Bible and The Student Bible.
Read a short section or chapter (around 10-15 verses) once. Ask yourself: What does this passage say? What does it mean? If needed, look up hard-to-understand words in a dictionary.

Read the short section again and ask: What is one thing from this passage I can apply to my life?

Ask yourself: What in this passage is hard to understand? Write down two or three questions you have about the passage and talk them over with a youth leader.
Tell someone what you've learned from the passage.

8. READ IT TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Hebrews 4:12 says, "For the word of God is full of living power. It is sharper than the sharpest knife, cutting deep into our innermost thoughts and desires. It exposes us for what we really are" (NLT). Read it with an open heart and attitude. Read it and let God's inspired words (2 Timothy 3:16) change you and shape you into a more godly and loving person (Ephesians 5:1-21).

this is such a rubbish post.

sheesh..just realised that i still have sch tomorrow..cos i have physics lesson...but if it ends early...i might pop over to temasek or sth...but i realise there's sth called sch websites...lol..see how first la...cos i have to buy lunch for sandra and coach her in chinese...which leads mi to thinking..how am i going to do that when i dun even noe how to start and to find the appropriate resources?? lol...im one weird person. like wad brigitte and the rest saes. haha..

btw..im looking forward to yf tml...cos its...
so peepz,



haha.

im not in school again!!!

not that im happie abt it..but it's like one of the longest time i've been absent frm school....4 daes lor!!!

all thanks to the school food which cause mi to have food poisoning...

been slacking like nobody's business..while all of my classmates have been working hard in school and at home la..feel quite bad..

oh wells...i will get a double portion of of that when i get back to sch on mon...

tests, tests, more tests too....

therefore...dun get food poisioning!!!!!if u can. RITE JULIA?? (if u see this)


still feeling sick..so i didn't go to sch..

been thinking of sum stuff that made mi feel quite upset..which i dun wan to mention anymore..cos im not planning to think of it anymore...cos nothing's gonna change no matter wad i do now..

yup...brigitte's got a new stad le...yay..felt happy for her..cos at last she can stop thinking abt ck le...and she have someone to care for her..

and at this point, i hope they dun come and hurry mi to get a bf.

i like my way of life. currently. cos i dun have to worry if the guy cheat on mi or wadeva. and i can save on my phone bills too. see? that's the good points of not having a bf.

but the bad point is that they will try to matchmake mi with their other guy friends..

not that i dun appriciate wad they are doing...but im not that old to be left on the shelF!!!lol..

yup...sighx..i feel like puking man...dunno if im well to go sch tml...sighz.

blogging dun make me feel better. cos im still sick and vexed.



didn't post yesterdae..cos i had food poisoning..and i also not in the mood to blog too

sighs..feel like crap now la..although i took my medication and had food le...

and the medicine causes drowsiness la..i dun even noe if i can stay awake during lessons la..

sheesh..im super tired now..but im waiting for my supper..cos i nid to take some tablets 4 times a dae la..

haiz..

im going back to sch tomorrow..and there is a double period chinese lesson tml!!!shessh..at the tot of it..i wan to die le...

and i haven't done my homework..cos i feel like shit and i can't reallie think that properly...argh!!!

i think i want to sleep quite badly..super tired le..and my eyes are like closing le la..sighz..

till then. adios!!


I can't believe it.

im already missing cinnamon!!!sheesh..i miss my old small grp where i spent the 1st 2 1/2 yrs in yf, growing together in the Lord and the times tt we share during discussions and workshops..

can't believe tt im on the verge of crying la...been crying alot these few daes...cos of stress and im sad lor...

but of cos im looking forward to getting to noe the ppl in nissi, my new small grp, betta...like 'tian xia wu bu shan zhi yan xi' where there is no gathering where we wouldn't part on earth...so i have to look on the bright side of life.

God wouldn't put mi there for no reason right??well..at least im glad that julia and linus are in the same small grp as mi this yr again...cos im not v comfortable in my small grp....cos of someone..and that some one is not tt comfortable with my presence in the small grp either...so i guess that God put us there together is to overcome that feeling between us and to noe each other better...

i heard from julia that they actuallie wanted to put mi and that someone to be small grp leader..but cos i told them that i want to be a responsible grp leader..and im taking my Os this yr...so i rejected them...and which they put mi in another small grp...but some how they shifted and shifted...and i landed there la..lol..

therefore...it's God's will that i should be in the same grp as that person...yup...

**btw...if u noe hu im talking abt..pls dun sae ya??just dun wan the relationship to be further strained lor..u noe wad i mean..**


sheesh...

im harping on the same topic every dae...oh wells...hu ask my life to be this boring??

wells...saw lots of my batch ppl coming back...either to visit teachers or to help out in their respective ccas...like when they saw mi..they generally had two responses: one, to bo chap u and treat u as invisible, two, to smile and wave at u, cos u are still their friend.

thnx to ming hong, joan and dawn..for smiling and waving to sae hi to mi..haha..cos it kinda felt good to see ppl tt u noe hu are in sch...cos i dun really noe anyone else other than my classmates in sch this yr. so felt abit odd..and extra.

i dun like chinese man!!not that i dun like the sub..but becos of the teacher...okie...she's new to the sch and i believe wad the other teachers told her abt previous yrs were all wrong...COS WE DUN HAND IN HOLIDAE HOMEWORK AT ALL....and so she think tt ppl will do the hw and now she dun get the hw..we will all kena detention...wad's her damn logic la...like we only taking chinese for Os only..so wad we are taking june paper for chinese man?? like they think we no nid to prepare our other subs. for Os too...

and the worst paper to prepare is DnT la...like the course work's taking up ALL of my free time to think and killing all my brain cells and it hasd to be done faithfully throught the yr...if not u confirm fail.

heck it la..im super pissed off with O-levels. im swearing again..thnx to O-LEVELS...they should just abolish this dumb examinations. or just ask the sch to stop giving us so much of that crap remedials and hw...cos i guarantee u...if this carries on...im going to go crazy...and i might just burn the papers up and burn the sch too...

haha..and go to girl's home..and then can tell zx wad's the feeling of staying in a girl's home is like..

in any case, i still believe that God will not abandon mi to die trying to 'pass this test', but forst i have to pass the test of faith too. and btw i was only letting off steam in my recent posts..and i guess, more will come...esp, when Os come..


sheesh...i feel like an idiot..(not as if i dun feel like an idiot every other dae...)

i dunno wad's wrong with mi..like everydae's a torture mi...not physically but mentally..im going to lose it all if this carries on...

i hate sch. im swearing now, rite at this moment. cos im pissed. dun IRRTATE mi...cos im gg to flare that nasty temper of mine.

im just venting ya..cos i hate the sch time table, hate the time im going home every dae..and the way it drains my energy...and it is onli O-levels la...and it's only JANUARY!!! for goodness sake!!

although things are not perfect


because of trial or pain


continue in thanksgiving


do not begin to blame


even when the times are hard


fierce winds are bound to blow


God is forever able


hold on to what you know


imagine life without His lovejoy would cease to be


keep thanking Him for all the things


love imparts to thee


move out of "Camp Complaining"


no weapon that is known


on earth can yield the power


praise can do alone


quit looking at the future


redeem the time at hand


start every day with worship


to "thank" is a command


until we see Him coming


victorious in the sky


we'll run the race with gratitude


xalting God most high


yes, therell be good times & yes sum will be bad, but...


zion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!

got this off an email..found it super cool...so tot i'll share it with u ppl here..cheerios!!

had quite alot of thoughts after reallie thinking about this song's lyrics ba..cos it seems to sae wad's inside of mi right now..read it and maybe u can understand how i feel ba..






rainy daes.
and i feel sad for some reason.
maybe cactus's (daryl) leaving for U.S in 11 hrs and 17 mins...or maybe having some stupid infatuations and silly tots abt that...or maybe i haven't done my hw..or maybe..it's the weather affecting mi...or it's just pms ya?
'i'll do my crying in the rain' maybe i'll do like wad the song lyrics goes...to do my crying in the rain..so no one reallie noes if im crying or just sad...

ignore mi if u want, but just don't regret when i leave.

sounds like im going to commit suicide or sth..maybe i'll just do it when i can't take it ba..but i guess howeva silly, i will not do ba...cos im God's precious one.and he made mi perfect and will carry mi thru life's ups and downs.
oh wells.
i guess will slp now....cos i think im gg to send cactus off ba...but then the taxi fare's super ex la..cos it's midnite charge and there is no bus services at 4 am in the morning..oh wells.

supposedly to be doing my eng summary or my maths tuition hw....but i've been trying to do for the past few nights and all i get is a blank paper la..sheesh...
guess im not in a very good condition to do hw now...like wad i told brigitte just now..'i stare at the paper, the paper stare at mi also'...lol..
a good verse to rmb for now. 'Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.' __Proverbs 16:3__
may God see me thru all my hw. for now. =)
