Sigh.. Blame myself for being gluttony. Looking at the box of brand new honey stars which is expiring on 29th May, I opened it up and took some on 28th May..
And the consequence? Sore and infected throat...

I didnt know it would be that serious.
So went to see the chinese physician again..
AND......
Same outcome. I'm still having cold cough... and...
No Chicken, egg, cakes, sweet stuffs, any fruits, barley and peanuts!!!
Duh.. as good as not to eat anything then...... *faintz*
And my big day is coming.. And looks like I can't pamper myself with good food this year.. sob sob sob.. so sad...

Read an article in Harvest Times and it says.. wat to eat? And.. I definitely agree wat Dr. Francis says.. When we are healthy, we can serve God better and be more effective more him. And especially that when we are healthy, we can eat what we like when we like it!!! This is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO true!!! I've not eat alot of things in a long time!! Especially COLD stuffs.... but i had some prior to seeing the doctor.. since seeing doctor.. so eat first.. hahahahaha....

Went to Vienna International Seafood and Teppanyaki Buffet Restaurant with mum after visiting a neighbour who fell and broke her thigh-bone! :/
67 year old auntie.. Poor thing. We dont really know her that well.. But mum had compassion for her and want to sow some seed... :p

So we made our way to TTSH with just her surname and address and found her ward! Hehehe.. clever eh?? :)

So had a sumptuous lunch.. very full now still.. and coughing very much!
Urgh.. :/

Blame my own mouth... urgh... I should learn to discipline my cravings more.
But i've heard so much about the restaurant. How to not go? Hehe...

Mmmm.. but looks like my big day treat will be gone. Wanted to go there with some friends.. ( i also dunno which group of friends) but looks like I better be obedient and have more porridge and soupy stuffs... :(

So more medicine.. and more rest.. and I pray that GOd's healing power be upon me every single moment of my life... Amen!
By His stripes, I am healed!!

Time to do my assignment.. Stressed!! (>_<")
14 more chapters to go!!!!! I can do it!!
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!!! Phil 4:13

Sigh..
Time really flies.. Been just a few days and I've not blogged in a while!
Woah.. Had an awesome, awesome week last week.
Attended 3 conference with Pst Phil Pringle and 6 services during the weekend!
Hahah.. It was amazing.. God's presence never fails to be present! :)

I think this is one of those meetings where I really enjoyed.
I didn't dread going for the service after service. It was something that I was just so excited about.
And I can't wait to get to the next service to hear and receive from the man of God.
Though I've heard the introductions 9 times, it still never fails to make me smile or laugh. Pst Phil is so humorous! Haha..

And we've learnt alot in those 9 services. It was amazing how those revelation just come one by one!
Servanthood, Soldiers and Sonship!
Woah... Challenging times are coming.. We are all prepared to fight a good fight of faith! C'mon devil! Be crushed in the name of Jesus!
The gates of hell shall not prevail!!!! We're going to build a big big big church!!
Hallelujah!!

It is just so exciting to be a part of all that the church is going through.
Persecutions are coming.. days are going to get more challenging, people are going to be stretched.. faith tested.. Hahah.. How many can stand strong through it all??

MMmm.. I pray that Holy Spirit will always be there to help me and guide me. You are my Helper and the Only One I can depend on.. Please don't ever leave me nor forsake me. I love You, Holy Spirit.... Father please protect me with Your hands of Grace and never lift Your hand from my life... God You are ALL that I have... I love You and I give all of me in exchange for ALL of you! In Jesus Name, Amen!

Woah!
Amazing 2 nights.. Awesome.
Once again, the presence of God was so strong in the Auditorium. It was... Phew!!
It was just like in Heavens as Pastor Phil prayed and layed hands on the students tonight. Last night he was praying for the CGLs.
And guess what?

Tomorrow he's gonna pray for the Pastors, SOT Students and Pastor's course students!!
SOT Students!! That's me!!! I'm so excited.
My spirit has been yelling and screaming all night long.. I can't wait for tomorrow.
It's gonna be a good night....

We were in the topic of deliverance this week. Gave me a new perspective of what Deliverance is. Not just the casting out of demons la... Its more.
Setting free from bondage... Could be childhood events that took place, bitterness, unforgiveness, cheating, lying, divorce, anger.. they all needed to be delivered.

We were forcusing on unforgiveness yeterday. It's such a horrible thing!
When you don't forgive others, you are not setting yourself and that person free too. And your spirit is rotting every single minute. And there'll come a day when you'll die of rottenness!! EEEEeekk... soo.. horrible!!!

I never realised the consequence of that! Phew.. I've been trying to ask God to show me what I've experienced and suffered and felt in the past so that I can confess it and be set free from it. All we need to do is to confess it to GOd and ask for forgiveness. He'll always be just to forgive us.. His mercy and grace endures forever! :) Hallelujah! :)

Tomorrow's the last session on deliverance and we going to start on Healing on friday! Exciting!! It's all so exciting!! :)

6 more services this weekend... and more is yet to come!
Church is moving to another level after this week.. things are going to happen fast and if we don't move on, we'll be left behind!! :)

Praise the Lord!! :)

Your Birthdate: June 7

Born on the 7th day of month gives you a tendency to be something of a perfectionist and makes you more individualistic in many ways. Your mind is good at deep mental analysis and complicated reasoning. You are very psychic and sensitive, and you should usually follow your hunches. You may not take orders too well, so you may want to work alone or in a situation where you can be the boss. This birthday gives a tendency to be somewhat self-centered and a little stubborn.

Your Brain is 73.33% Female, 26.67% Male

Your brain leans female You think with your heart, not your head Sweet and considerate, you are a giver But you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you!

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.

You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.

Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage pessimistically. You don't think happy marriages exist anymore.

In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

You Are 20 Years Old

20 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

Hahahhaa.. this is cool.... I didnt know.. I thought most people would think i'm like.... nvm... forget it.. :)

Just back from the doctor.
Yeah..
Poor me eh? Sigh..

Nose been running for 2 days. And i've finished my last dosage of medicine few days back. So decided to go back to him. I thought I could go tomorrow. But my nose couldn't wait...

And so, its still the same thing.
Upper respiratory tract infection and this time, it affected my nose and my ears are a little blocked too.
He gave me the same prescription except no more Dhatalin.
I think that's for asthma. I don't know why he didnt give me that.
But I'm still breathless. Guess he feels I don't need it.

Anyway, he didn't charge me again.
Praise the Lord! This is the 3rd visit. And its really kind of him.
He must really been earning big bucks.. Hahhaah..

Anyway, I'm a little drowsy and I wanna sleep liaoz..
OH!

I just had to put this down here...
Took a cab back.. AND.. the driver took PIE, BKE... instead of... KJE.. BKE..
And guess what? The ride was 10minutes longer.. and $4 more!!!!!!!!!
*faintz*
I guess I was partly at fault. He asked me.. PIE.. BKE huh?
For a while, I was thinking, yah. Got to pass by PIE what.. so I said yesh...

Until i saw the unfamiliar road.. duh!!! Then i told him.. should be KJE..BKE.. but it was all too late. Sigh..
So.. i could only stare at the road all throughout the way... sigh...

It was $15.80. And he could still say.. $15 enough lah.
I said.. From KJE to here only $12 as I passed him $16. Then he returned me $2 and say never mind la...
???????????????????
Anyway, lesson learnt.. Kept reminding myself not to be angry and sin...
Just forget it. I was at fault too.. Had to keep reminding myself that all the way..
And I'm glad I kept my cool.. Thanks be to God! :)

Alright.. time to Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.............

Woke up at 9am. Had a badminton session with mum at 9.30am!
Yesh! With mum!! Hahaha. She suggested that few days back and since the slot was available, I booked it! :)

So I changed, had some bombay toast that mum had prepared and off we went!
It was cool, haha. the last time I played badminton with mum was like... 14 years ago? As far as I can remember, I was only 10 years old then. Haha. Since then, we've not had a game together. Hee.. And she's still good! :)

It was just an hour game so we ended at 10.30am. Came back, had a bath and here I am, supposed to do my assignment.

Halfway through, heard that a friend could have gone to Malaysia again.
Don't know where she went. And don't know for what.
Just had a talk with her few nights back and I just don't know what to say.
No point saying anything now. She is simply too blinded and too engrossed in her own little world to know what she is doing.
I've done my best. And I'll let God do the rest.
It's precisely man are weak that we need Jesus to come and redeem us and send us the Helper that we can lean on, depend on and to guide us, comfort us.

But if we choose to live on our own fleshly nature, there's nothing the Holy Spirit can do except to be grieved. He is grieved when we are disobedient. He's grieved when we turn a deaf ear to His words. He's grieved when we sin against God. And the greatest sin that a man can ever do is to grieve the Holy Spirit.

I pray that all the days of my life, I will not grieve the Holy Spirit. I pray that I will be so sensitive to the Holy Spirit and will walking according to his Ways all the time that I will not grieve Him. I pray that Holy Spirit will manifest Himself in my life that I can bring light to the world and that I can impact the lives of many. I pray that I can have wisdom like Solomon to be able to discern things and have understanding that I can be a good counselor. I pray that Holy Spirit will never leave me and be with me till Jesus comes again......
