Happy Guy Fawkes day!

Had a really fun night at Youth today. Although there weren't as much fireworks as hoped for, having two boxes, I'm glad people donated some for us. Only the Somervell's brought fireworks, so we would pretty much be having half the fun if people weren't so generous. ^^

Before the noises and flames, we had a few games of hold on to the rope on your left hand tight and go around in circles. Whoever loses grip of the rope they are holding on their right hand or makes contact with the object in the middle loses. I only played the first round, which was really great. Me, Hayden and Luke(Theophilus) played our pre-finale after beating around fifteen people.
Haha... thinking how I can beat guys in arcades (including all my older brothers), I thought it wouldn't be that hard finishing as the winner. But the nerve of being the only girl among the three did get me.

So round the rubbish bin we circled, and before I remembered what happened, I felt myself flying away. It sure was quick. First thing I lost grip, then I banged my head on the parking lot. Not fun... the slide through the road thing. I guess I should have learnt how to land right before flying up in the sky.

I'm glad there weren't any blood shed, but I sure wasted some ice cube. Chantelle was really loving giving me a long cuddle and telling me to cry. The ice cubes from RockFire across the road sure made my head feel better. Apparantly there is a spot on my head where it's grazed. Well, hopefully it will heal quickly after having some drops of some not so nice tasting thing Chantelle gave me, that can help reduce the chance of getting a bruise or something.

We also had a short session of Roman study, going through the things the Bible says that a person should do to be able to have eternal life in Heaven. I must say I was partly distracted by the fireworks that was playing nearby towards the end of Tony's sermon.

So the thing I learnt today? Never risk playing with guys if it means competing with physical strength. Arcades are fine, since I'm sure I there is a high chance of beating guys in that area. But physical stuff? haha... trust me, I lost so bad.

I'm glad though, that all of us had heaps of fun creating smoke and nasty stuff that adds up to the stuff that leads to pollution. Still, Auckland is free from acid rain... for now.

Oh, and I remembered that Chantelle told me that I might get a concussion. She was so tentative and I'm glad she told the story to William. I'm usually bad at telling stuff like these... and so I might have left it till next few days or when I know how to tell a story right. Anyway, she said you might end up having coma if a concussion is obtained. I was shocked for sure. But I guess, if I do, I guess I should trust His will. And if I really do get into a coma and like need life support on dumb electric eating machines, I think I'd rather just go peacefully. Cause I wouldn't know how long I would have to lie there and make lives suffer. I'm sure too, that it would be God's calling for me to go. Sure scared to sleep and never wake up, since there is so much I wish to experience.

And my other fear is... will it hurt when I wash my head? It would be hot water too. Ahhh... just thinking of it feels like my head is hurting already. I just hope the grazed bit will heal by the time I wake up, if I do wake up. Trusting in the 'cells reproduce really quickly' I learnt from Bio to be true.


Can't miss our the important daily requirement-
Hebrews4:12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

So I'm left with 6 papers. It sure went by quickly... so I expect my holiday to appear soon.

Guy Fawkes is near. I can already feel the temptation of lighting some fires after hearing fireworks alive. The only time I get to experience these flares are when Richard buys them. It used to be because he was the free one and I was under aged back then. But then, I guess I realized it's just me being used to rely on him to buy them. Now that he's married and moved away, I'm not sure when we will have these noise makers in our house. And by next year, if I don't buy them myself, I can always lie and listen to the excitement outside.

So Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night will be this Friday, where hopefully the Youth will get to light some flames. I sure do hope there will be fairy sticks, cause that's the only thing I long to hold on a cold Friday's night. Pretty and safe, living in a fantasy that lasts for seconds.

I'm glad we'll be enjoying fellowship while polluting the air... by a little bit.
For it says in Psalm 133:1 "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" and enjoy all that He has blessed us.

Calvyn Jonker is on blogger. I don't know since when, but I'm glad there is another blog I am sure to benefit from ^^

haha. My morning reading today reminded me of Brian Tamaki.
In Titus 1:7-11, "For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, nor quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money,
but hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled,
holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able , by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict.
For there are many insubodinate, bot idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of dishonest gain."

So Brian called himself a bishop, and reading from Titus 1, it makes it clearer what God commanded.

Is he like what the scripture says a bishop should be? Time will tell, and God is the judge, thankfully.


Oh, and McDonald's doesn't need me too.




SO I can really be added into the large percentage of unemployed.

Hopefully I will be able to survive if I am lucky to get student allowance from StudyLink. That's kind of my last hope... other than trusting God to provide at the right time.



Bible verse for the day:
John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.



And my last shoutout today is :

HAPPY



21st BIRTHDAY




Katherine!!!

Adding the list of places I should visit in Kuching

It sure seems like there are just more and more eateries I have yet to try. I know... that going back to eat stuff I easily get here is kinda weird, but seeing how most people enjoy it, why not give it a try? And I guess the price won't be as high as here, even if the numbers are the same, they are in ringgits. ^^

I wonder if the student discount applies to me if I let them see my Macleans student ID. Oh well, the worst they could say is "I've never heard of this school." and tell me to pay the full price.

Sure will be lost looking for this place as well. I don't even know where 3rd mile is. heh heh

Anyway, just like most businesses these days, they have a blog, so check it out.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And today was the first day I heard about Destiny church. It sure does worry me regarding the bishop and stuff. Especially when one of the guys said on TV "If you talk to the people in our congregation,... you hear Jesus Christ twice but Brian Tamaki a hundred and two times..."

The thought that came to mind was only , "Are the people there just worshiping this Brian idol?"

We are told not to idolize anything and put God first in life. All I can say is I am glad Howick Baptist is the place where I fellowship.


Verse for the day:
Acts 17:11
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.



I will never be ready for business, but I'll go for it the best I can tomorrow.
Back to study...

For drivers in NZ, there is a new law. Maybe you're heard of it, but here goes : "Fro 1 Nov09 it is illegal to use your handheld mobile while driving. Be safe: pull over or turn it off. Visit vodafone.co.nz/driving for more info"

Well that leaves a few days for us to get used to that.

Bible verse for the day:
James 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Another rookie group have debuted. Well it was said that four rookie groups debuted at the same time about a week ago 0.0
I was really shocked. I thought Korea had enough groups, and now they add another four, so I'm happy I can never catch up with all the names.

I only stumbled upon one of the girl groups, Secret, and found their dance really cute. Maybe it's the jumpiness and the difference from other usual groups dances, which go for seductive, scary, or stuff I can't remember. And I find "I want you back" capturing my child's heart with the playfulness. ^^

In this world, there are different views on mostly everything, the start up of unhappy quarrels and stuff. So I guess it wasn't weird finding how some loved this song while some others simply felt the total opposite.

As I thought two of the four looked like twins, being a twin stalker, first with the Olsen when I was young, and with the Ke (Judy and John), I guess I found my third one. Well I wasn't sure, so I googled, but the almighty google came up with nothing about them, which I didn't find surprising, as I found out then that they only came upon stage on the 15th.

And along with Secret came out other three groups, that at least four members, now that's why I never will remember all their names. I'm never good with names anyway.

With the different views of everything, comes different views of Secret:
Fan: "This is their third debut stage where they performed their debut single "I Want You Back" and I have to admit, the more I hear it, the more I like it. Just because these ladies aren't a part of a major company does not mean people should turn the other cheek...."

Ban:"Secret continues to remind me of Jewelry with their smooth melodies and vocal abilities.Unfortunately, their debut single “I Want You Back” is incredibly boring."

I tried to find a word tha is opposite to a fan... and one that ryhmes. But I guess ban would be alright.

Okay... I guess they do not have twins in their group... unless twins have different surnames as "The group consists of member Jeon HyoSeong, Song JiEun, rapper Zinger and Han SeonHwa.". I still don't know who is who, which I don't think I will need to, since I just go for songs. No twins, oh well, I'm sticking with the Ke twins. ^^




The move I enjoyed most? hehe. the swipe hand three times and a jump. ^^ Really cute! I wish I could dance


Anyway, focus is still on the life after this world, so some verses I read this morning:
2Timothy 2:22-26
Flee also youthful lists; but pursue righteousness, faith, ove, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife.
And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient,
in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth,
and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive b hum to do his will.


I thank God for granting me repentance, that I am freed from the devil that kept me captive.
