BUS CG

Joined A's and HQ's CG today: had been wanting to drop by see see look look (machiam like I'm very free huh?), and also A had asked me to go down today cos they're celebrating HQ's and R's (not too sure how to spell her name) birthdays.

Ended up making a small mess in the place, with the war that ensued after me trying to, erm, make full use of the last uneaten slice of the cake. The casualty list: A's clothes, HQ (quite a lot on her), my clothes.

Anyways, the passage that we did today was Romans 5:12-21, questions prepared and led (mainly) by A.

Dropped by the music min's practise whilst having dinner before gg to can A to study with TYC and Grandville. Reached back at about 1AM from studying.

Tired...but there's a lot of things to worry about, and pray.

=(

Urgency never sets in fully, until we know more about the extent of the problem/circumstances...

Philippians 4:4-9 ESV

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me--practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Bored

Exams are near, yet still not in the mood really to "pia" for it.

Bored people have nothing much to write about.

Oh, btw, happy birthday in advance Shifu...though you certainly didn't get what you deserved ;)

Romans 5:1-11: New

New boasting...new relationship...


New outlook

Dun understand...

Had our CG today, did Romans 5:1-11 for the bible study, and came to be a lot clearer on the passage =)

But one part (actually half of what Paul's saying in that part), I can't really understand, not that I don't understand, I do, in my mind, but I somehow can't really grasp it fully, yet?

==============
This is that portion:
From the passage, we rejoice in 3 things: in hope of the glory of God (v2), in God thru our Lord Jesus Christ (v11), and in sufferings (v3).

Why do we rejoice in sufferings? Cos' sufferings ultimately end in hope (suffering > endurance > hope; am skipping a lot here), and this hope will not put us to shame, ie. it'll come true, what we hope in.

Why? Cos' God's love has been poured into our hearts (subjective work of the Holy Spirit in individuals, based on the objective fact of Jesus' person and work), taken from v5.

God's love, contrasted with man's (v6-7), and having done the harder thing which was God's love demonstrated in Jesus' work, what more of our hope of the glory of God (v9b, 10b)?

Which is why our hope (of the glory of God) will not be let down, back to the point about rejoicing in suffering.
==============

Sounds simple isn't it? But yet, somehow, I can't grasp the full gravity of this up till now...

Finally! The STUPID calculator (can only add and subtract...) design we're supposed to make for SC201 lab is finally done! Now only can wait and see if it works... *twists fingers* 

舍不得 (can't bear to)

Talking to the group of friends over lunchtime today, only made me (all the more) can't bear to leave cos of my various disappointments/reasons, and added on to why should I stay on (this feeling NOT being one of them).

Have joined this congregation since 8 years ago since secondary school, and have been with this team since then till now, to leave suddenly (to them it would be) would not be very loving either.

But all these things....sigh for now it's 真的舍不得啊

Driving

Gian...

Okok...back to lab!

Exams are coming!

For those who want to know my exam study timetable, and exams dates, for whatever reasons, here it is.

To everyone out there who's taking exams, all the best!

Caffeine Withdrawal Symptom

Taken from this website, and many others that are synonymous in what they say abt caffeine withdrawal...

What are the symptoms of caffeine withdrawal?

Regular caffeine consumption reduces sensitivity to caffeine. When caffeine intake is reduced, the body becomes oversensitive to adenosine. In response to this oversensitiveness, blood pressure drops dramatically, causing an excess of blood in the head (though not necessarily on the brain), leading to a headache.

(Seriously) time to start cutting down on it liao...after today's episode of headaches (have not drunk much coke for like, 3-4 days?), and after drinking one can for lunch, somehow felt better already.

Too much coke...
