past
When griping grief the heart doth wound,
and doleful dumps the mind opresses,
then music, with her silver sound,
with speedy help doth lend redress.
-William Shakespeare
Smell the air
Finally exams are over. Last paper was on Wednesday. A little more breathing space now but not much difference actually.
Been busy over the past weeks with St. John's Annual March Camp planning and Zone Soccer Tournament. Really had to juggle so much. I'm the head planner for both our annual training camp and the bi-annual zone soccer so you can imagine how much I had to overlook, together with exams and the church worship team. Camp's on the 10th March and the zone soccer is 25th March, but planning for both started like barely 3 weeks ago, so we're like rushing like mad. And I'm leaving for Malaysia on the 20th March, don't know how much I'm prepared for that now. So many worldy things to attend to.
Well, God just gives me this uncanny ability to take it all in my stride nicely. I never get stressed or worried. I'm just able to soak up whatever and always find time to day-dream and laze around for hours. Haha. Though there's always something at the back of my head telling me there's work to do, I always leave it for a later time and seem to complete it. Actually that sounds like procastination but whatever. Haha. I'm amazed at myself. Give me a million things to do and I'll go take a nap first, you'll still get your results on time.
On Tuesday I went to Changi Airport to study with my few of my classmates, the 'samba team'. Fun. Haha. After dinner it was all play already. Never a dull moment with them. Went on a tour around the airport. Can't help it when we all live in the West and central areas, except for one. Changi Boy Nicholas was the tour guide. Went from Terminal 2 to 1 to take pictures all over, and pretend we were foreigners. Cool to be Jap for a day. The mood was like there never was any exam the next day. HAHA. 

We know our numbers... 
Then on Wednesday right after our paper, half the class went to Jurong East KBox. Haha it was great. 8 guys singing. From 1.30 pm to 7pm. I had no idea how we manage to sing so long. Anyway most of the time we was just shouting, and trying to hit the high notes that we all know we can never reach, so we just sounded really crap, but what the heck. Haha. Imagine hearing guys screeching into the microphones. Oh man love my classmates. Especially my darlings and dears. Haha. I have a few of them. 
I reckon that looks like a nice CD album cover for a 8 member boy band... keke 
Getting baptized this Sunday at Changi Beach. Now that's something to look forward to. All the anointings that God want to pour over me, I want all of it, not waste one drip of it.
Like I mentioned earlier, I'm leaving on the 20th. Check out our team's website man !! www.team2msia.blogspot.com Our newsletter is in there. It's really incredible. Credit has to go to Samuel for coming up with such an excellent newsletter. Thanks to those who have helped me in my cause financially. Money's not the important thing though. All your prayers are worth more than all the money in the world, so keep praying for me for this trip !! God bless.
I really want to thank God for the words He gave me last Sunday during service. The words that came out from the pastor's mouth really hit the nail right on the head. It really just caught me in time, trying to pretend those things did not apply to me. Hit me right in the heart.
But He was right. There will always be new beginnings. New beginnings can never be avoided. From the moment you wake up to a new day, that's already a new beginning. We shouldn't be living in the past, because all the blessings that come from God are in the present and future. I've been living so much in the past, found it so hard to get out. I guess God really just wanted to push me on. The past really depends on your future, because surely, your future will one day be your past. Live your life in the future such that you'll never regret the memories that one day will be.
The whole time in that church I just couldn't stop uttering words of thanks to Him under my breath. The guest pastor went on to talk about a teenage couple he knew. Talked about teenage relationships and I was guilt-ridden. But God's always there to give us a new beginning. That really helped me. I have a chance to start afresh. It was like God was telling me, "Go on son, you're a new person now. Do me proud."
Who is there but You ? There is no one like You.
