Rachel, my cell group leader, was sharing about Romans yesterday. It's been ages since I joined the salt shakers for cell, mainly due to the worship practices and other weird commitments. She shared something about the swimmer and the surfer. When you're thrown into the water, as a swimmer, you'd naturally feel frightened by big waves that come crashing over you. On the other hand, surfers cannot enjoy the sport without waves. When the waves come, they beem with happiness and indulge in what they enjoy doing most.
The water represents the situation we are in. We're all in the same water. We share different experiences, but one thing we have in common: we all have problems. When the waves come crashing, do you choose to be the swimmer, or the surfer?

This made me realise I haven't been strong in adversities. I crumble at the slightest trial I face, and I feel that this is totally not what God wants to see of me. Be it about work, or relationships, or my future, I believe God wants me to be more than a conqueror for Him.
Prov 17:3 The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the Lord tests the Hearts.
Prov 17:22 A merry heart does good, like medicine. But a broken spirit dries the bones.

Met up with Esther and Ying Ying this week. Boy, I still can't bring myself to believe one of them is handling 4 year old kids at work and the other is handling criminals. Lols not exactly criminals I guess, but just working in the prison? I'm gonna make sure we keep to our 2-month pact, and we will take photos next time! And I will force Esther to confess if she did c** in Japan!

Went for NUS and NTU open house. Haven't really set my mind to do accountancy, but I believe I'll come to a sensible decision by the end of March. To Wenhui PTS: Don't be discouraged! I truly believe you can make it no matter the sub-dean said. Have faith in yourself, and I'm always behind you! :)

Same to all other friends who think you suck. You don't okay. You were not destined to come into this world to lament and cry over issues which can be resolved!

Just that I really feel lousy at times, especially when things are going on smoothly. Quotes Xueling manager: All this love and hate, it's soft, it's hooey. There are only things. Sometimes, just sometimes, I choose to see the world as a combination of things. No emotions attached.
Despite all ups and downs, I still love them! :)
