lol i feel so guilty that i neglected my blog for abt like one week?
hahas yeah but it really was a busy week! they say Singapore is fine country but more like test country to us!!
oh my my chem is screwed, redox huh?
but thank god we do not have CA!! =D good luck to all of you that have CA!
lately i've been falling back on the oldie songs... they seem to touch me deeply
...当你孤单会想起谁???
Today in church fellowship, our group leader mentioned abt challenging our faith and beliefs.
" I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, "- 1 cor 3:2
How then shall we not be infants in Christ? it is to start pondering and not take things for granted. I agree on the fact that most 2nd generation or later Christians take for granted the blessing to be born into a Christian family.
Well I've once thought abt what i believe, and now I've thought abt it again:
I believe that God is real, omnipotent, omnipresent and righteous.
I believe that there is only one God
I believe in the trinity, God in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
I believe that Jesus is a true human, and also God.
I believe that Mary is just a normal human living a holy life, and had a virgin birth, which conceived Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.
I believe the Jesus died and rose again, hanging our sins on the cross and those that believe in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
I believe that God created the world and its beings in 6 days and rested on the 7th day.
I believe that the Sabbath was made for man, and that every man can have his own day with God, regardless which day of the week.
I believe only in micro evolution, but not macro evolution. Somethings cannot be denied. Micro evolution is one of such, it suggests mutation caused by environmental influences that causes variation within a species of organism. (such as Charles' finches) once Charles Darwin observed that the finches in a certain group of islands all share the same distinctive traits as finches, but certain traits differ in finches from island to island(large beaks for eating nuts, hooked beaks from eating insects). I believe that animals can evolve to a certain extent, but not to a extent that it produces a whole new species(like from ape to man). I believe that God created the world in 6 days and all the species in it, he also created the laws that the world adhere to. One of which is mutation, which indirectly, evolution. It is arguable that evolution has occurred in a certain extent in the ten thousand years since earth was created, but then again, not to an extent of which macro evolution suggests.
I believe that man was set apart above all animals, and that he possesses 3 distinct parts, a body, a soul and a spirit. And that he is in the image of God and was once created to rule over all the creatures.
I believe that the sufferings of this world are brought by man's separation from God. Nevertheless God can take bad things and make them good, if ppl allow him to(freewill), that is why bad things that happen on Christians are often called as trials, that will help mold us into wad God wants us to be.
Romans 8:28
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
I believe that the rapture is an inaccurate doctrine and that the tribulation shall come beforehand when he returns, the heavens and earth shall quake and the saved shall be risen and the wicked judged.
I believe that our bodies will return to the dust when we die, and that our spirit shall rest and await for the second coming of Christ for then shall we be risen to be judged.
I believe in the perseverance of the saints, more commonly: "once saved always saved" and that the verse Matthew 24:13 "But the one who endures to the end, only he will be saved." is directed at people who are unsure of their faith. And that we can only lose our salvation if we aren't really Christian in the first place(Christians by name?) Which means that these ppl may think they have received it, but verily, had not received it in the first place. Yes there will be up and downs in the Christian's life, inevitably, but the holy spirit will always be there to guide true Christians back to right track if they ever stray.
I believe that God gives everyone a chance to choose and recognize Jesus Christ as their Saviour, and that the decision is based on the person's freewill, and that it is God's will for everyone to be saved. Although i come from a presbyterian church, i do not really believe in predestination or double predestination in that matter, which implies that God destines and picks ppl, and that a person believing in Christ is in fact, God's will rather than the person's freewill although he may not think of it this way himself.
I believe that ppl that nvr heard of the Gospel are going to perish(as stated above, God gives everyone a chance to choose and recognize Jesus Christ as their Saviour) and that is most urgent reason that we Christians, must go out and spread the gospel to all the world.
I believe that the holy communion is done in remembrance of Jesus dying for our sins. And that the wine and the bread on the altar does not really transubstantiate into the blood and body of Jesus Christ, but only as a symbol for remembrance. We have already received the flesh and blood of Jesus when we first believed.
I believe that the Holy Spirit is received when we first believed, and not through a second baptism.
I believe that tongues is not the only one, but one of the many spiritual gifts that may manifest on a person, and that not everyone is required to speak in tongues. The Body of Christ has many parts, we can't all be the mouth, or the hands, or the head can we? No, each of us are gifted with different gifts, and no gift is greater or smaller than the other.
phew... long post. And i shall update abt the past week maybe another time? lol no guarantees though =P

Haix... Can't find an inuyasha fanfic that i read ages ago abt Sesshoumaru and Rin. Browsed through fanfiction.net for abt an hour, tried every keyword i've thought of. Well just as fluent the story goes, it managed to slip through my probing fingers. It's such a touching story, with a tragic ending but yet a soothing conclusion. It's hard to write abt somebody's death, but it's even harder to make somebody die so gracefully. Suddenly had an urge to read it after reading a poem on written by Kylie.
I could cry over a thousand things
But most of all, I cry about
How much I want to be with you.
Yeah so here goes the lyrics of a song that sounded so true
If you're not the one Daniel Bedingfield
If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call?
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all?
-
I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
-
I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
-
If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?
-
I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I'm praying you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life
-
I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
-
'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side
-
I don’t wanna run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
Had a restless day. Too much on my mind perhaps? Time for some rest
but those who wait in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
-ciao-

Lol today went to biopolis to attend some funtional genomics course. Pretty much of the course is experimental work. But before that we had to attend a safety briefing and then a lecture abt genetic expressions. The safety briefing was fine, but i was drifting asleep all the time cos of a long story(later then tell)... The lecture was much more interesting, why? Party because of content, partly cos of the lecturer's accent! He is called "Peng Jingrong" lol sounds like jiu rou peng you... Ya as you might have guessed... he is from mainland china. Only 70% of his lecture could be deciphered. hahas Well during experiment made some new frens. My bench ppl, whom are really interesting, and two other VJC frens that are from andrew's and Eugene's bench, they are even more interesting. lol
Them (andrew's blog)
Presenting our spastic bench 3!!!

Hahas and we couldn't find our school in the register online thingy! Andrew almost go put Cat high then de person said we put ACJC first.
Oh and for de long story...
Today morning just in case of a runny nose, i decided to take some anti allergy medicine. I have sinusitis and am susceptible to runny and blocked noses. So i took the Zytec antihistamine. But then it finish liao. So i go find somemore. Then dunt have Zrytec but found another antihistamine. Ok fine... then eat lor. But as i swallowed i suddenly saw the thing on top with big letters wrote "One tablet at night." I started. I quickly look closely and then saw underneath in smaller words wrote "May cause drowsiness, refrain from operating machinery". Damn lor... Then i faster make a cup of tea so to let the effects of caffiene countereact with the effects of de drug. But sian... not strong enough sia... So thats why keep falling asleep!

3 days, 1 hr and 8 mins to val's <3
The ravings of a smitten girl
The actions of a desperate guy
Love is to be desired
no matter where or by who
even the hardiest criminal
in any form
even in the form of a smile =)
we pursue it
but we always forget
"Love is patient"
Yes don't give up my dear
Endure and jiayous to the end! =DD
Love prevails
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
