when the dream never dies..

Isn't it just like the Lord to invite me,

to put all my dreams in His hands,

Forever releasing the grip that once held them so tightly,

Forever surrendering my plans,

And then when He's certain it's not born of men,

He calls for the fire to rekindle again,

And ask me to know in my heart what's not seen with my eyes,

So that after the pruning process,

the dream never dies.

look up,lift up..

Remember telling my sis that I wish it could rain today..so that I don't have to worry that I'm late for school since there's no morning assembly...

This morning when I woke, it was raining dinosaurs and elephants...haa..but only raining so heavily at yck...lol....dots...


Was about to take the escalator down frm cck station..before I could touch the ground, my hp slipped and dropped down the escalator...I was speechlesss...I guess the people who saw my hp drop right down from the escalator were even more speechless....



Today went for exam invigilation, there was this class who brought a fake roach and tried to scare the teacher during the exams..-_-'''''''''' After the teacher came out, I was given the roach,make sure they dont take it back and scare other teachers...-_-''''


Wasn't very hungry today, probably very tired that's why. Went home and took a short nap, to be able to sleep well is a luxury and blessing!!!

Woke up reluctanly from a nice rest and went for coz's 21st bday, did enjoy myself there.

back and rushing assignments again...............=S


17 Though the fig tree may not blossom,
Nor fruit be on the vines;
Though the labor of the olive may fail,
And the fields yield no food;
Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,
And there be no herd in the stalls—
18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
I will joy in the God of my salvation. Habbakuk 3: 17-18

random randomness

...when people ask me what kind of flowers do I like........ I always wondered...the answers that I usually give are lilies or sunflower bah :p cos it seems like a standard question girls have to be prepared to answer??..But after pondering and observing the surroundings recently,I finally realised that morning glory is my fav!!A plant that cant be packaged into nice bouquets haha It would lose its original beauty if its plucked off from the vines. In other words, I don't fancy people giving me bouquets of flowers,cos morning glory is my fav haha prefer to see it naturally than being plucked off, processed and packed into nice bouquets lol...

but then again, if I ever need to hold a bouquet during wedding shots or ceremonies then that's a different issue hahaaaa....

Let Go by Dewayne woods

I couldn't seem to fall asleep
There was so much on my mind
Searching for that peace
But the peace I could not find
So then I kneeled down to pray
Praying:" help me please "
Then He said you don't have to cry
Cause I'll supply all your needs


As soon as I stop worrying
Worrying how the story ends
I'll let go and I let God
Let God have His way
That's when things start happening
I'll stop looking at back then
I let go and I'll let God have His way


There so much going on
Sometimes I can't find my way
And often times I struggle
Struggle from day to day
I have to realize that it's not my battle
It's not my battle to fight
I have to know if I to put it in His hands
That everything will be alright

Let go
Let God
Let go
And let God
Let go
Let God
Oh let go
And let God
Let go
And let God
My brother let go
And let God
My sister you can't handle it
Let God
Oh let go
And let God
He's the only one with the answers,
Let God
He's can handle all of these
Let God
With tears in your eyes,
Let God
He feels your pain and he knows your heart
He knows your issues,
He knows your struggles, So
Let go
And let God




nice song...=)

your grace,sufficient..

Woke up at 6.20am for school as usual, didn't feel well, my throat hurt once again,nose block, heavy head, I guess I was falling sick again, after one week of recovery from the last relapse of bronchitis.

suppose to be in school to do revision with xue qi's class but went to see a doc. Doc gave 2 days of mc and told me to rest well at home.Couldnt afford to take mc coz their exams are near and had to give test and complete the last part of the syllabus.In the end, the HOD had to take care of everything. =/ didnt want to spread the germs in school too. feel so weak. Realised that when things happen, they usually come all together, just like a big bomb. And my body usually can't take it, then it'll just shut down. My weakness is revealed, but more importantly, God's power and grace is manifested through a weak person like me.



Today is grandma's birthday and she's spending it in hospital. I couldnt go down to see her cos my germs will sure spread. So only could call her and wish her, had no present for her though. Hope that one day she'll receive the best present that one can ever have. Doctor said she can be discharged by most likely next week, that's great news.


Happy Birthday grandma!

things to be grateful for..Your love,more evident than ever..

Sunday 14/9

Had to reach church very early in the morning to play for worship, slept very very late the night before, when i woke, daddy woke early to give me some money to take taxi, mummy woke early to make milo for me. very touched=.../
Went to hospital to visit grandma, she's much better now though still under observation, happy when she saw us,thank God for answering simple prayers.

Monday 15/9
Had a late night,monday blues and had to fight the hectic day, one retired teacher commented early in the morning: " lydia, how come you look like zombie today,no expression at all.." had a great laugh after that.thankful for the joke. One more assignment down before exams.not very well done,but sufficient enough to go through.

My fortress,my refuge

[Psalms 42]

42:1 As a deer pants for flowing streams,so pants my soul for you, O God.

2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.When shall I come and appear before God?

3 My tears have been my foodday and night,while they say to me all the day long,“Where is your God?”

4 These things I remember,as I pour out my soul:how I would go with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God with glad shouts and songs of praise,a multitude keeping festival.

5 Why are you cast down, O my soul,and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,my salvation and my God.

My soul is cast down within me;therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan and of Hermon,from Mount Mizar.

7 Deep calls to deepat the roar of your waterfalls;all your breakers and your waveshave gone over me.

8 By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,and at night his song is with me,a prayer to the God of my life.

9 I say to God, my rock:“Why have you forgotten me?Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

10 As with a deadly wound in my bones,my adversaries taunt me,while they say to me all the day long,“Where is your God?”

11 Why are you cast down, O my soul,and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,my salvation and my God.
