hey! wow. havent posted for a while.. haha

oh i guess TMR is school reopen. stress like crap now. haha i really really hate first weeks. so much to do! and no mood to do. hah. anyway. during the holidays, i guess there was lots of activities going on. which is fun! haha though its sad that there isnt a camp!! got the muar one, but in malaysia.. so i guess not every parent allows.. hmmm hopefully there is one during december! ((:

lets see. first.. it was the chalet? i think?
hmm only julienne and i could make it. plus dawn la huh. but it was all good. though we didnt stay. pretty much fun, especially seeing how the guys work, and bbq! hahah its really funny. well wasted most of my time bbqing the marshmellows, trying to make s'mores. ahahha but its good! and nice! agree? yup. we played fresibie?(sp?) like PE. hah! then i had to play with the guys. kinda embarrassing. (i was really scared i hit them!) and they were so quiet, erm.. yong hong and joash i guess. OH then i was surprised that we had to get the food, because i thought the food was all ready and there! we had to marinate the chicken and stuff. haha when it was frozen! but everything turned out well! lucky no FOOD POISONING! god blessings. HAH

then it was.. movie outing!
julienne, joline, gayle, bryan and me went to watch kung fu panda! and went to bowling.
oh wait, i think julienne has covered most of this. HAH but she didnt write in the part where she EATS ALOT. haha she ate bk student meal and the yam pie thingo and subway cookies and yam puff. is that it? oh but haha she ate much more than us! julienne dont be offended kay! hahah we still love you!

next! the.. sports fiesta
dawn, joline, gayle, vanessa and me! haha we went for the hip hop lessons! haha i thought it was fun, but gayle and joline didnt. i think its because they dont dance, they do sports! hehe. i enjoyed it. learning a new style was cool.((: haha dawn was really cute when she dance. hahaa^^

WII CARNIVAL and MINDS CAFE (most recent, yesterday)
hah! me again, and vanessa. we were like really late! reached there around 2 plus. played one game! ONE game of mario kart!(oh oh! i beat vanessa!) (DIDNT GET TO PLAY THE RABBITS GAME! AND GUITAR HERO) and eat icecream. hmph. they cheat our feelings la! say end at 3, they closed at 2 30, because of the finals of the soccer match. haha vanessa and i were really lost. we just shouted goal when everyone did, basically, following the crowd. so game ended, and so we waited for samuel to finsih his duties, then we left magicbox. we were practically trying to call anyone who came along. so funny. then we got kevin to come along. so we bused down to town, and trained to dhouby. walked all the way to the place and finally started playing. we played snorta, taboo, and some voting game. i think snorta was still the funniest. vanessa won the game though! tsks. hah! then.. vanessa had to leave first, so she left me with the 3 guys. hah. we played a little more then we left to cathay. walked around. and then kevin and samuel left. bryan and i went for dinner. and then home!
HEH OK. i just realised, i m always there for those outings. hahaha!!! oh wow. hmmm no wonder there is a hole in my pocket. money all gone. oh but i have to thank bryan for paying for the GST and service charge (: haha thanks again!

i really got a chance to bond with bryan and samuel over this period of time. the rest too la, but mostly with them! hurray interdependence! great bonding.

Jesus rose again from the dead - John 20

John 20 relates the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.

When I read John 20 today, it was struck by the simple truth that we all know - which is that Jesus rose from the dead!

I felt that God told me that He is a God who brings life and who has the power to bring life to the dead.

John 20:30-31 says
30Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

Just want to encourage everyone that however dead or messed up you feel your life may be, Jesus can bring you life.

However dead or messed up an area of your life may be - be it your studies, relationships, family, etc, Jesus can bring life.

Mary Magdalene was crying outside the empty tomb of Jesus.
John 20:10- 11
Then the disciples went back to their homes, 11but Mary stood outside the tomb crying.

She must have been really sad and discouraged because she thought that her God was dead.
There are times when we feel like Mary - we are sad and discouraged over circumstances in life.

However, Jesus rose from the dead and came to her.
John 20:16 -18
16Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" (which means Teacher).
17Jesus said, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.' "
18Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: "I have seen the Lord!" And she told them that he had said these things to her.

Jesus is our God who rose from the dead!

I pray:

Jesus come and bring life to our lives.

Jesus come and bring life to every area that seems dead and does not seem to be doing well.

Jesus come and bring life to our families and spiritual family.

Jesus come and bring life to our tribe blog too. =P

THE outing

i thought this blog was dead already (!) but it's still alive and kicking (and there's a new skin, too!)... and since i haven't been here for a very, very, very long time and samuel has asked for a post about the most recent outing(mavis, joline, gayle, bryan and I)!

i thought it was kind of weird at first, you know, having a thorn among some very pretty roses... (joking!) but it turned out okay! we went to watch kung fu panda and it was so, so funny. i was sitting beside gayle and she laughs very gayle-ly. right, joline? heh heh heh. don't worry gayle, it's so you and if you laughed like joline you just wouldn't be gayle.

oh i think before that we ate at burger king. don't ever ever ever go for the student's meal because the portion is so miserable. i was hungry very soon after that. oh pish, i was hungry the whole day! xP

and we went BOWLING. bowling is fun when you don't bowl gutterballs. i bowled many, many gutterballs. and bryan and joline are good at bowling! joline does look like the bowling kind, and likewise for bryan. (how do i know what is a bowling kind?) heh, i think they just look good with a bowling ball. like the roundness of the ball totally compliments their face and their hair and their clothes and what they had for lunch... sorry, corny! we bowled two games.

after bowling, we walked around a bit, had more bites to eat!

anyway, we all still had fun! and let us have many many many more outings to go!

oh, a text from dawn that i'd like all of us to remember when our inbox runs out of space

Hi gals today's bible reading is on john 19, where John relates Jesus' crucifixion on the cross. Whatever circumstances in life you may face, bless you that you'll trust Him and His love for you. God loves you so much that He sacrificed His Son for you; He'll take care of you and your every need :)

Julienne (:
oh. by the way, my blog isn't dead... anymore! xD

Hip Hop Dancing Class - 14 June 2008

Thank God for the hip hop dancing class today during Sports Fiesta! =) It was fun!

Vanessa and Mavis, think you all can dance really well.

for the rest of us (especially me), we are still special and God loves us even if we don't dance so well.

Jesus is the Vine and we are the branches

John 15:4-8

4Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. 8This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

I have recently been very busy with work and with wedding preparations. My thoughts and time were consumed with the things I need to do at work and my wedding. My QT has also been rushed and was mostly in reading the book of John.

The above verses reminded me that I need to draw near to God, because Jesus is the Vine and I am the Branch/es. I cannot do anything without him - a branch without the Vine will die after a while and can never bear fruit. Also, how much fruit grows on the branches is not dependent on how good or strong the branch is but on the vine who gives life to the branch.


When I remain in God, He promises to remain in me. The responsibility is on me!

He will then make me fruitful. When I remain in God, He will bless me in my wedding and marriage, my work and my ministry.

Bless you all to draw near to God and remain in Him even as life is busy and there can be many things to do. Because our life can only be fruitful and bear life through God.

Love,
Dawn
