happie dae~
just had a haircut with tian at HAIRLAW say, two hours ago.. hehex, my hair didn't undergo too much snipping lah, in case you are thinking : 'what, Cheryl still got hair to cut meh?' Cut my fringe which was simply irri-tating and the hairdresser snipped off some ugly ends.. its much more neater now :) Tian's hair is quite stylish.. The lady boss cut for her leh~ I think I've had that special privilege only once or twice cos she's usually not around.. But I like the auntie who always cuts hair for me lah. She is really nice and friendly.
Plus the fact that I was only charged 10 bucks despite the price rise because of CNY.. yays~ I am suddenly reminded of ‘人情味’in last year's 黄城夜韵。(I hope i got the play title right) The salon is really a place one can look forward too if the service is good and the hairdressers are warmhearted... And they played a CD compilation with many many songs that I like :'Heart of worship, pour my love on you'.. While waiting for my turn I was humming away and reading a Christian magazine that the lady boss subscribes to :)
Read an article in the magazine. It describes how we no longer seem to hunger or thirst for anything when our wants are easily accessible and satisfied. Despite this, none or most of us feel contented with what we have because they are not essential to our emotional and spiritual health.. 'Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled' (Matthew 5:6) The writer stated that ' Righteousness is the right living that comes out of your desire for God. To hunger or thirst for righteousness is to desire His presence more than anything else'
I think its quite true, because when we desire for God, we will want to be pleasing to Him. Wanting to please Him will draw us to understand His likes and dislikes better.. Knowing God's all goodness and His desire for us to be good will lead us to righteousness.. Thats what I think lah. haha :P
Recently I'm quite glad that I'm spending a lot more time with God.. Even though my workload is heavier than ever. Somehow, when we honour God, God will honour us and give us the grace of everything else we need. Including time. :)
Today was not all joyful though. This morning I awoke to hear my father coughing badly.. He went back to sleep, then I started to kneel down and pray for him.. Was a little apprehensive that he would wake up to see me doing that but, didn't care eventually and just prayed. And..
when I was done, he said :' 好啦。’I was like, 'huh?' Pa replied '祈祷完了啊'
I mumbled a yes, grabbed my book and left the room.. The minute I reached out for my book and turned my back against him I wanted to cry le.. Don't know why. just.. cried.. I think he saw tht my eyes were teary..
Hmm. but, its still a good day. At least I can finally stay at home and spend time with my parents, esp my father who is always on night shift..

南初 《我们的白云岗》 会歌
伫立在阳光下 抬头仰望那蔚蓝的天空
我们的家就在 白云上
就在云岗上
青青翠绿的园地 充满着欢笑和温情
友谊的花朵正不停地绽放
不停地成长
我们这里成长 这是 我们的地方
我们的白云岗
白云岗上的儿女 紧握彼此的双手
并肩朝向前方 拥有着每一天
白云岗上的儿女 唱着自己的歌曲
唱着希望 延续生命
创造每一天

I'm really grateful for today and for all that has happened *big grins*
But I know I must be done with this blog entry in 8 min time because there are soe many other important things to do!!! I want to do my reading and have cca stuff to settle (esp for upcoming cca orientation and byg planning). Do I have to mention assignments at all? haha
But am really so happy today~ For the first time I felt that we had a purposeful cca meeting. like aww that sounds so trivial. but hey, to be honest, Ive never fel this way before. Everybody was contibuting and being decisive.
We have 7 weeks to Bai Yun Gang. That sounds as big as any major examination to me! But the excitement far exceeds the fear and i know its gonna be a driving force for me.
We had lep orientation today. Some of the j1s are really so cocky!! But thinking back, I was once as critical, if not worse. But on the whole, I think everybody did a good job. Hope the j1s had a good time though.. Well if anybody is displeased about today I can only say that its too difficult to please everyone. :) So be glad anyways.
Relinked prissy and jeanie and i hope to recover all my old links. tata

Heal him completely oh Lord. Hold him in your protection. I decalre in faith that he will be set free from any pain or false strongholds. He will emerge victorious because he has You, almighty God.

Thank You God. for pulling me away time and again. I now have a slightest idea what it means for our deeds to be like rags;incomparable to Your goodness. Help, Lord. help!
its really quite scary. I had not really meant to say that. But it came true.
I can't help but say 'SHUT UP!' to the devil.
Guard our hearts and minds in Jesus Christ.
Help me to be still pure and contrite before You.
The devil shall be powerless.
Dear Lord...
I know this is in Your hands. Let every trace of disbelief and every sort of opposing spirit be driven out in Your mighty name.
Amen

Help me, dear Lord.
Shape my heart into the way you want it to be.
Help me to see your goodness in each and every one.
For your creation is truly beautiful.
Help me to rest queitly in your presence.
Contented and loved.
In Jesus' precious name, make me your loving daughter
Amen.

在你离开的世界里沉浮
这里的夜空有淡淡的忧伤
是否歌曲里的主角
也选择继续昏睡
是否当时的你
也尽力忘却谁
当过去的承诺已太多
再也不知道
手里握着的是什么
该怎么终止
迷惑
何时能开始
无能为力
我将一切交托予你
静静的等待
你给的答案
当你的承诺实现
终于明了
掌心里头的，是温暖
在你建筑的世界里栖息
这里的星星
对我微微的，笑了
当昨日的影子不再是负担
他伴随我，与你亲近
希望此刻的你
很幸福
很幸福
*以上的文字中的‘你’有双重身份，你猜得出来吗？*

Xiaoyuan: Hey you're first on the list for friends. How's that? :p Thank you for firstly inspiring me to start this whole thing :) and making me realize how nice it feels to be thanked for and how even nicer it is when you thank others. haha. Thank you for always being so sweet. I love your smile and i'm so glad u opened the door to this friendship :)
Jocelin: Banana zu zhang! Miss those days in beijing. Beibei, jingjing, huanhuan, yingying, nini!!!!
Ahh we ae such die hard fans o'er them :) Thank u for being a fellow fan :P and a great leader.
Xiaoying: Thank you for being you! hahas. you're so funny at times and I found that you're really a nice girl :) Thank you for believing there's a good side of me :P
Eu-ni-si: Heys thank you for being so sensitive to tiam's needs I need to learn from you really. haha. And really happie we're friends now after o2. haha
Jian kai: Thank you son for being so comical. haha. nah, glad that we now know each other slightly better after a gap of 5 years lol.
Liu zhen: Thank you for the air conditioning. the smses do chill the atmosphere quite a bit.
I suddenly dunno who else to thank. og gosh. is my circle of freinds that small?! i guess im just kinda brain dead. haha.
God: Dear God, thank you for leading me closer to you each day and guiding me along my days patiently. Father I'm so glad that You changed things to the way they are now.

I'm sorry I have to postpone the entry of thanking my friends, but I suppose not many ppl read my blog anyway :p since its been hibernating for so long, most of my readers would have expected it to continue the way it was--- outdated.
anyway its a pretty good day on the whole for me. Cuz i did part of my lep proj in school plus we had a fruitful meeting with the designer for bai yun gang 06's poster and stuff PLUS I bought a pair of heels, well wedge(is that how u spell it?) in fact PLUS I am sure that God just told me something.
We spent 2hrs in the drum attempting at the lep proj work. It was freezingly cold esp after we got back from the loo. And gosh I had bad diarrhoea(i sincerely hope u are not eating anything as u read this). Whats worse one of the staff in the library screamed at us when she saw a pack of cookies and snapped at me to switch off the music. I don't understand. Why can't she just try to speak nicely for once? It doesn't help by worsening our impression of her; she's adding a few more wrinkles to her own face anyway. Sheesh was quite annoyed by her sudden outburst.
Then we went j8 after that, and waited for the bus for soO loong~ But hey, twice today I prayed to God about the bus 58 coming after I'd finished doing something and twice it came true! hahas its so amusing and amazing :) The first time i said;let bus 58 come after i'm done eating the Mars ball. And it came after i threw the wrapper. The 2nd time I was listening to Corrine May's song and I said let the bus come after the song ends. And it came true again! hahaz lame but well, it did actually happen ye noe.
We agreed to tuck in first then go shpping after the ccs exco meeting. Ended up in the foodcourt and had prata! Its quite ex~ the prata with sausage was like, 2.50 per pc? I didn't know a few slices of sausage would cost 1.50. madness~ But I ordered it anyway and it tasted GoOd~ Plus there was curry:) hahaz i had prata without curry yesterday and I was so disappointed when my pa came back without the curry. How can one possibly enjoy prata without curry?! Outrageously impossible unthinkable unimaginable! But my mum and sis do just that. Mebe I'm the freak of the family.
Then we had a long long conversation with the designer. So paiseh had to make poor lishi and yinghui wait. They almost went off without us cos they were just too worn out. but thankfully they didn't. And I bought my shoes for next yr's CNY:) So nice. haha. its 32 bucks at charles & keith. A little hefty for the poor me but I couldn't help buying it. ahaha. saw another pair that's slightly shorter. nice too but the wedge is nicer. heex.
went home and im glad mum agreed that the shoes are nice:) haha.
shall stop here for now.
