Happy 17th Julez!! 
Haha just got back (2h ago) from Julian’s house. Neenee Ong’s mum sent 3 of us back home :0 So nice 
& dayyyum it’s 4am now my body clock GONE. Tmr got tuition ley omgz.
But anyway, really enjoyed the celebration today. Haha. Though there was really no programs prepared and it was just dinner + chill, I really enjoyed the company.
Haha we had some awesome-quality food cooked by his parents – they are brilliant cooks I tell you. Own style and all.
Slacked around and all, picked up the guitar and started singing songs tgt. Haha the guys couldnt tank us anymore and soon they were like, “Hey guys, I think we should go downstairs!”
Janeen: “Haha what a nice way to put it.”
*group of us disperses*
Janeen: “Ok im bringing this down.” (Guitar)
***
Ran around, relived our childhood.
Played freeze & melt, climbed around the monkey bars, hung upside down from them, swung on swings till they creaked and shook with each swing, played on the see-saw, camwhored and serenaded with just TWO lines!
“When I see your face, there’s not a thing that I would change. Cos you’re amazing just the way you are. And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while, cos girl you’re amazing just the way you are.”
Yay yay it was gr8888 hahah Janeen you so proz luv u <3 hahah she managed to find out the harmony to that part!
I bet she's been practising at home.
Okay but anyway, the main point of this post..
It was a gr8 night with a gr8 bunch of friends ..
Haha then thinking back to my bday celebration (which i sincerely thought was quite fail),
I think I should have prolly done separate days celebrating separate days with different groups of people i love <3
And anyway.. I think I really find it sooo hard to love.. Yknow?
Like, to be really concerned about people and their lives. Though I do try, but I think it's not enough..
In the sense that it seems extremely touch-n-go..
I really want to be a good friend to those around me.
I don't want to judge people for who they are/arent.
God open my <3
I need to start replying messages faster + more promptly! :s
Heh, I've definitely got something out of this bday celebration.
It's all about genuineness and love for friends that builds friendships
I'm really glad to have such great friends around me, really.
And I should really stop being so superficial and surface in the way i choose friends…
Really Cleo. Damn.
Really should catch up with some old buds, just talk and chill man~
ok but i rlly hate awkward moments/meetups damn sian hahaha.
But anyway, I really miss some people now </3 haha.
k i should do smth!
But for now, i think it's about time I catch some sleep. :S
Goodnight world ~
Alright, it's about time I went to sleep.

Loved today’s sermon ^^
Not just the content, but the conviction and the whole energy behind it.
I think it’s just what we need. Sad to say, the thoughts that came were the kind that “Brings back memories”…
Meaning that now I ain’t living like I used to be.
Having slackened and all.. Noooo.
But yep it’s true.
I really really agree with how Christianity is supposed to be – not a piece of cake, not just for the fuzzy wuzzy wuv, not for the weak/faint/half hearted, not for the idea of ‘I need an outlet of some sort therefore I thank God’.
Christianity is really, livin’ on the edge, all or nothin’, hot or cold, giving our best for God and for nothing else.
Now here’s the part that we either get it or don’t. God is God and we are not.
We need to get that straight before we start doing anything.
We don’t compromise on His Kingdom because it is simply,His Kingdom.
This is the part that people commonly overlook: The understanding of who God actually is.
And we cross the line to the side on:
But I feel sian today, can I not go for evax?(for eg)
But I am catching a movie with my friends today, can I not go for LG? (When you know that LG happens that same day every week).
Basically just serving because we feel like. Serving because we have the time to. Not because we make the time to.
Serving because God called us to serve, God made us serve.
When in actual fact, we serve because God called us to serve, God CHOSE us to serve, God allowed us to serve, God aided in our serving, God provided in our serving, helped us in our serving.
And we do all these, why?
Because the world needs it. Because we have seen the light and no we dont snuff it out.
Because we want people to experience this joy, this freedom, this LIFE, this exhilaration, this power, this liberty, THIS LOVE.
Knowing that love ain’t a small thing. Something that we humans looonggg for so much! But whatever love we try to grab and embrace, it will never stay. It’s just like water – try embracing water, it leaves you with it’s moist but never stays with you in its wholeness. In the same way, love, coming from the world will merely skim the surface of your heart and leave you wanting more! But you try so hard, multiple relationships, friendships from all over, but they can only reach you that far. What you need is something that covers the extra bit of your heart that no one, and nothing can have the capacity to. The only One who can – God.
Man you got that right He’ll flood your heart 10 times through – and he won’t hesitate doing it again.
Yknow, sometimes I really can’t stand seeing people getting into relationships.
(no not because im jealous hahaha) But because I know what’s the root of it, I know what’s the expected outcome, and I know their feelings at the end of it.. And I really feel sad for them.
Especially those who get into one just because.
Can click? K clip. Nooooo! Doesnt work like that.
And… I am nobody, but I really do try to help them understand the reasons of getting into a relationship. Hoping people have a realisation that Hey, this won’t last coz blablablabla.
But when they dont see it, I dont blame them (though it’s really quite obvious through the way I put it) because the world and the bleedy media has contorted young minds into believing in love at first sight, love giving you a heart-fluttering experience. Oh how could I forget and a kiss being so whimsical and airy-fairy like. Lololol I swear that’s the most misleading thing on TV. Go try doing it to a coconut or smth? Maybe that could be a preliminary round.
Hahahah okay I sound like some old hag w 99 cats.
Dont misunderstand, I do love the feeling of love. It’s amazingggg ~
But really, Love is something that requires a lot of effort and energy. It doesnt happen w electrifying eye contact or a kiss. It requires a lot of selflessness and a lot of sacrifice. (so maybe ultimately we can conclude, if all these is gonna tear you more to bits and being uplifting then you’d rather stay away right? But see, the desires of the human heart.)
It’s sometimes morbid and illogical but we dont care.
See, Love is powerful.
It’s the kinda of assurance you get when all things seem bleak. You know that through all these, you are not left out and forgotten. It’s the warmth you get (not fluttering heart feel ok maybe only sometimes but mainly warmth) when you know that there’s a constant love there you can bank on and turn to It’s a commitment.
Right so where was I? Sorry I sidetracked a bit.. too much.
Oh right. So being a Christian boils back down to giving your life to this purpose (logical right? Your status: christian, so something about you shld change w.r.t that change in status, no?)
Then from there, I really think following principles and not feelings really really really stand very strongly here.
Cuz many a times, we do what feels right, feels good, doesnt feel awkward.
But amidst all these feelings we get, why not just look at the Word to see what’s right or wrong?
You say “Lord I give you my heart, I give you my soul, I live for you alone.” So it means us being ready to set aside our interests for the Lord, setting aside our feelings for God, doing what He wants us to do.
Okay but everything aside.
Me saying all these. Man are they big words.
I have learnt too over the years/months.. That though yes these are primal in our Christian lives, but at the same time, God’s people are as important than these.
Hehe, Ive realised my mistake last time Omg stupid me sigh (but im glad i did what i knew was right heh) and now I’ve learnt to tone down… In a sense, not be so hard on myself and the rest of the world (lol sounds like me against the world). No seriously, I used to be horribly agitated when people don’t know their priorities (simple ones) in life. For eg, going for LG. Basic right?! I mean..
Heh but now I know that I gotta show love above all despite knowing these principles.
In a way, dont judge people by what they do? Just judge yourself.
But then again, I dont know the extent of this as yet.
Still watching, still learning.
One flaw about knowing the principles well is that.. You’ll tend to judge people more easily? Or is it just me :S
Subconsciously even.
I mean yeah, they’re supposed to follow principles.. But if they choose not to, will scolding help? Prolly love will allow more space for growth and repentance and realizations..
Though yeah sometimes disciplining needs to come in, but.. seldom the case I guess? People know the principles just that they choose what they want to do with that knowledge.
Idk yet, still learning where to draw the line haha.
Right! And thus, it is impt for people (esp leaders in da house) to lead by example. Cos ppl like me need that. No amount of teaching will teach me how to relate with people, handle situations, run events.
Thank God for you guys ^^ Pat and Sam \m/ plz keep doing a good job hehe!
Ok I should probably get off now and be more productive. Idk why I posted such a long post too omg. It’s been so long ^^ Oh and omg, my jeans rips are getting larger and larger nooooo..
And and and!!! Let me update you a bit about my dance discoveries.
Recently: Paper dolls are my fav people to follow!!
They are super awesome! A whole bunch of talented people, the Rafael family (omg I couldnt believe this when I saw Jasmine Rafael was like Aj Rafael’s sister and she DANCES and SINGS and they are christians! And then for Paperdolls, the whole group of them, their passion for dance is really fantastic! They are sooo awesome they inspire me. Really shows me how one’s passion can drive him/her so much. Really putting in the effort and heart to it, not just doing it for fame and popularity but really having this deep purpose behind it.
Let me show you some of their videos:
This is their first dance cover as a newly-formed ‘Paper dolls’! (I think?)
Dynamite Dance Cover
Then this is their 2nd. They did like a dance-story-video thing. I forgot what they called it but it’s a very good attempt!! Their dancing is awesome as always.
Teenage Dream Dance Cover
Heehee, I really gotta thank Shannen for introducing them to me hehe. I think it’s divine. Cos all she showed me was the Dynamite video cos the dance was cool. Without even knowing any background of these people.
But after following their videos and watching more of them, I found out all those stuff about them!
Managed to learn the choreo to Dynamite but looks like crap. Hahah YKNOW THEY REALLY INSPIRE ME.
k I’m like tryna learn their styles and copy and hopefully pick up some skills along the way (:
Yay yay yay OH hahahahah today during service Thalia Ramos accepted my fb friend request HAHAHAHA so happy know! HAHAHA 
Waiting for the other two to. Heh. Okok, pls check them out too yeah? They’re really cool.
Woots.
Love y’all! ^^ Time to goooooooo… ~
