family reunion dinner - hard to come by

like w a v e s in the OCEAN
like v a p o u r in the WIND

very quickly, week3 in school has started and i have settled in quite alright with the lectures...
some of my peers have seem to engage their full throttle even at such early stage of the sem...

had the privilege and grace to reach hme b4 six yday and today.
had dinner with family at the dining table...according to mum, we hafen done that for a blardy long time.
it's naturally. it's normal. i still like the idea of sitting together at the table for meals, esp dinner.
bonding. still very impt. interaction and communication. the artery of a happy family.
Enjoyed such privilege when i was much younger. now, effort has to be made to eat tog.

who would think it can be so tough?

ran continously for 12mins and 20s ..
CAT X NS men would surely know this timing.
yep.. i exercised...finally.
*when's the best time to take ippt..*

and who would the superstar!?

guess i'm not joining nvac for a moment. perhaps acitivities come in after i've completed my first sem or first a/y.
meantime, i just enjoy as much as i can .. as i begin my life as a tertiary student with God by my side.

Godbless

proverbs 22

like w a v e s in the OCEAN
like v a p o u r in the WIND

PROVERBS 22
1 A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.
2 Rich and poor have this in common:The LORD is the Maker of them all.
3 A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
4 Humility and the fear of the LORD bring wealth and honor and life.
5 In the paths of the wicked lie thorns and snares, but he who guards his soul stays far from them.
6 Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
7 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
8 He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.
9 A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.
10 Drive out the mocker, and out goes strife; quarrels and insults are ended.
11 He who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious will have the king for his friend.
12 The eyes of the LORD keep watch over knowledge, but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.
13 The sluggard says, "There is a lion outside!"or, "I will be murdered in the streets!"
14 The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit; he who is under the LORD's wrath will fall into it.
15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him.
16 He who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and he who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty.

Sayings of the Wise
17 Pay attention and listen to the sayings of the wise; apply your heart to what I teach,
18 for it is pleasing when you keep them in your heart and have all of them ready on your lips.
19 So that your trust may be in the LORD, I teach you today, even you.
20 Have I not written thirty sayings for you, sayings of counsel and knowledge,
21 teaching you true and reliable words, so that you can give sound answers to him who sent you?
22 Do not exploit the poor because they are poor and do not crush the needy in court,
23 for the LORD will take up their case and will plunder those who plunder them.
24 Do not make friends with a hot-tempered man, do not associate with one easily angered,
25 or you may learn his ways and get yourself ensnared.
26 Do not be a man who strikes hands in pledge or puts up security for debts;
27 if you lack the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched from under you.
28 Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your forefathers.
29 Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve before kings; he will not serve before obscure men.

proverbs 23

like w a v e s in the OCEAN
like v a p o u r in the WIND

PROVERBS 23

1 When you sit to dine with a ruler, note well what is before you,
2 and put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony.
3 Do not crave his delicacies, for that food is deceptive.
4
Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint.
5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.
6 Do not eat the food of a stingy man, do not crave his delicacies;
7 for he is the kind of man who is always thinking about the cost.

"Eat and drink," he says to you,
but his heart is not with you.

8 You will vomit up the little you have eaten and will have wasted your compliments.
9 Do not speak to a fool, for he will scorn the wisdom of your words.
10 Do not move an ancient boundary stop, or encroach on the fields of the fatherless,
11 for their Defender is strong; he will take up their case against you.
12
Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge.
13 Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die.
14 Punish him with the rod and save his soul from death.
15
My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad;
16
my inmost being will rejoice when your lips speak what is right.
17 Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the LORD.
18 There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.
19 Listen, my son, and be wise, and keep your heart on the right path.
20 Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat,
21 for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
22 Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.
23 Buy the truth and do not sell it; get wisdom, discipline and understanding.
24 The father of a righteous man has great joy;he who has a wise son delights in him.
25
May your father and mother be glad; may she who gave you birth rejoice!
26 My son, give me your heart and let your eyes keep to my ways,
27 for a prostitute is a deep pit and a wayward wife is a narrow well.
28 Like a bandit she lies in wait, and multiplies the unfaithful among men.

29 Who has woe?
Who has sorrow?
Who has strife?
Who has complaints?
Who has needless bruises?
Who has bloodshot eyes?

30 Those who linger over wine, who go to sample bowls of mixed wine.
31 Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly!
32 In the end it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper.
33 Your eyes will see strange sights and your mind imagine confusing things.
34 You will be like one sleeping on the high seas, lying on top of the rigging.
35 "They hit me," you will say, "but I'm not hurt! They beat me, but I don't feel it! When will I wake up so I can find another drink?"

proverb 24

lastly,
proverbs 24

Do not envy wicked men,
do not desire their company;
2 for their hearts plot violence,
and their lips talk about making trouble.
3 By wisdom a house is built,
and through understanding it is established;
4 through knowledge its rooms are filled
with rare and beautiful treasures.
29 Do not say,
5 A wise man has great power,
and a man of knowledge increases strength;
6 for waging war you need guidance,
and for victory many advisers.
7 Wisdom is too high for a fool;
in the assembly at the gate he has nothing to say.
8 He who plots evil
will be known as a schemer.
9 The schemes of folly are sin,
and men detest a mocker.
10 If you falter in times of trouble,
how small is your strength!
11 Rescue those being led away to death;
hold back those staggering toward slaughter.
12 If you say,
"But we knew nothing about this,"
does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who guards your life know it?
Will he not repay each person according to what he has done?
13 Eat honey, my son, for it is good;
honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.
14 Know also that wisdom is sweet to your soul;
if you find it, there is a future hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off.
15 Do not lie in wait like an outlaw against a righteous man's house,
do not raid his dwelling place;
16 for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again,
but the wicked are brought down by calamity.
17 Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when he stumbles, do not let your heart rejoice,
18 or the LORD will see and disapprove
and turn his wrath away from him.
19 Do not fret because of evil men
or be envious of the wicked,
20 for the evil man has no future hope,
and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.
21 Fear the LORD and the king, my son,
and do not join with the rebellious,
22 for those two will send sudden destruction upon them,
and who knows what calamities they can bring?
Further Sayings of the Wise
23 These also are sayings of the wise:
To show partiality in judging is not good:
24 Whoever says to the guilty,
"You are innocent"—
peoples will curse him and nations denounce him.
25 But it will go well with those who convict the guilty,
and rich blessing will come upon them.
26 An honest answer
is like a kiss on the lips.
27 Finish your outdoor work and get your fields ready;
after that, build your house.
28 Do not testify against your neighbor without cause,
or use your lips to deceive.

"I'll do to him as he has done to me;
I'll pay that man back for what he did."
30 I went past the field of the sluggard,
past the vineyard of the man who lacks judgment;
31 thorns had come up everywhere,
the ground was covered with weeds,
and the stone wall was in ruins.
32 I applied my heart to what I observed
and learned a lesson from what I saw:
33 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest-
34 and poverty will come on you like a bandit
and scarcity like an armed man.

God in my life; evidently so

i spent the last 45 minutes reading my friends' blogs.
people nowadays probably writes and shares some, if not all, of the happenings of their lives thru blog.
it used to be thru snail mail...the excitement and anticipation when one opens the envelope. yes, esp those which is from abroad.
then when INTERNET was born, email took over. some postmen lost their job i would think.
nvm. and on that level. we just type our thoughts...on a white piece of paper...called yahoomail, hotmail, gmail...
we lose the sincerity, lost the ability to write. yep, chinese words esp, pple use chinese stars and hanyupinyin.
now..comes blogging. u post, they read. they dun read, too bad.

yep, above' s pretty crappy.
forget about it, sorry ah. waste ur time...

God saw me thru the weekend. evidently, He did.
from eve of carnival to the carnival..to the sermon on sunday, to 'closure' , to FOP.
I can't wait to churn out more awesome stuff He'll gonna do in my life.

In short,
my sentiment for the carnival last week: SO THAT WAS WHAT ITZ ALL ABOUT.
all those game stalls, food stalls, display stalls, Qs, national day observance ceremony, mister khaw boon wan...all the months of prep, it's juz lidat.
and to think i was not going to not take up any active 'leadership' after the carnival and start bury myself..

sunday's sermon at fruitful vine church was bulleyez.

then FOP was marvellous though i dunno many of delirious! songs.
but it didn't matter. the fact that GOd touched me, placed a desire to serve Him again, forgive me...His grace was sufficient. He is on the move...YES! even now as u are reading.
u can be a non-believer, but would u believe me, nah!..i'm just a vessel...would u believe He is calling out to U, yes YOU...that He is just a prayer away?!

Alright, u dun. but it is His desire to see His creation knocking on heaven's door!

okei...
florence, thank you.
thank God. u responded in the most incredible way and i admire u for that, sister.
it has been a very memorable journey.
indeed, i am relieved, regretful, yet glad that it has closed neatly.
