God's timing is always GREAT
And the process usually takes 4-8 weeks.
The reason why I was panicking was because the immigration side may not approve my visa because I'm going over 3 months earlier. :O I've also booked my air ticket on 11 June.
YES! and just on Sunday, I prayed and wrote the prayer on my diary. Just on Monday, I missed a call from the High Comm. The recept wont put me through to the Immigration side. She asked me to wait for another call.
yes.. so i was quite attentive to my phone for the past few days. :S wahahaa. I've still had not received any calls, but I've received a mail and my VISA IS APPROVED!! :D
Praise God! :) I'm dancing around the house earlier.
Well, here is an update toooo!! I've also learnt how to use a sewing machine today!
I've just sewed 2 hankies! :) They are pretty! 1 for my mum and one for myself :)
LOVE THE FLORA PRINTS!!

And I have good news, i wont need to surrender my passport as of now to the Highcomm. Thank God!
and, yes that means i can go for the JB leaders camp. :)
I was @ Raffles place earlier with mum to go to the Highcomm to clear all my doubts, and going back to Republic plaza brings fond memories. hahaa, I was thinking if I might bump into any one of my previous colleagues. I MISS THEM!! Anyway, I will be back @ Raffles place area again tomorrow, so till then, i hope i may bump into some familiar faces! :D
Yeah, and im learning how to play the guitar again..now with more commitment. :D Cause i'm freer now can practice once i'm done with my errands.
I WANT TO BRING THE GUITAR OVER TO CANADA SO IT CAN BE MY COMPANION.
So, learning how to play now can make things easier :)
I like to end off with this sharing:
I'm reading this book called "If you want to walk on water, you got to get out of the boat."
I was reading the book and came across this account of Henry Blackaby -
'The kind of assignments God gives in the Bible are always God-sized. They are always beyond what people can do, because he wants to demonstrate his nature, his strength, his provision and kindness to his people and to a watching world. This is the only way the world will come to know him"
Cya! im gg to run now.
PS: This post is frm my blog :)

2 more months left in SG
2 mths may seem long for me to pack, learn to cook, spend time with family & meet up with friends AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, TRAIN FOR MY UPCOMING MARATHON before i leave for my further studies. But it isn't! haha. Cause i got 3 camps coming up and all are in the month of May and start of June, which means I will have 3 wkends less to spend to do the above. muhahhaa.
Well, at least I've got my packing started! cleared some stuff by my bed side. AND! i cooked lunch for my family earlier, of course with supervision from prof SITI. :) Received praises. :D
I need to learn to cook so i can prepare some simple dishes for myself when im alone la. I cant possibly eat out everyday. :S
Picture above is the 5km fun run @ Raffles Green i participated on 30 March. Try to spot me!
Anyways, this is an appeal. I've misplaced my orange Nelgene bottle. The cap is white in color, Volume 400-500ml, so if anyone has seen or know its whereabouts, please return it to me. Its a Bdae gift from my bestie. Thanks!

Spiritual Warfare Weekend (SWW)
The experience was just so amazing for me.
I attended SWW on Friday, there was one topic on power of ministry.
And towards the end of the session, Pastor Yong was releasing prayer requests given by the intercessors
and there was one directed to a lady who has this condition of heel spurs.
And suddenly i felt a prompting to pray for her from where i was seating.
i prayed for her to be healed and for her to complete a 10km run by the end of the year.
Then on Sat morning, the session was on Ministry of Healing.
Oh yah, there is always a practicum after every session so we can practice what we have learnt.
then this practicum was to go find someone we dont know and ask God for 3 things that we can pray
for that person.
Then, because I was unable to find a partner from my seat, I had to move out of the row to find one.
ok, then i made eye contract with this lady around 50+ (aka Aunty)
I prayed for her work, ministry and for illness to be healed.
and then, when i was done praying for her, she asked me if I heard properly from God,
and I said: 'Eerrr, yah!"
She then shared that she was the lady with HEEL SPURS!!!!!!!!!!!
and then I just broke down and cried.
Because, like how is it possible to even meet the person with heel spurs? Coincidence?
I think not! It is divine planning by God. The audi was quite packed and how is it possible for me to meet her??
Im just so amazed. SO AMAZED.
and oh! yah, the lady was healed from her heel spurs yesterday. Im glad that I listened to the prompting and prayed for her too! God healed her!! WWWEEEeeeeeeeeee!! PTL!
And i told her that as I was praying for her healing, I prayed that she will be able to run 10km right, so i asked if she is a runner or into sports. Rmb , she is an aunty. hahaha. She said she is a dancer, wahaha.
so she said its quite close. haha.
Amen. praise be to God. He just works in wonders. :)

I'm going to Canada to study!!
yeah, I've told this to most of the ppl ive met up recently.
Well, some may have heard I wanted to study @ SIM previously.
Here is why there is a change in decision.
It all began @ the Xmen camp-Teens xite service last year,
Pastor Daniel was preaching on a sermon on the Burning Bush. (On how Moses encountered God) It was an extended worship service. We were told to pray for directions in our lifes and for God to speak to us. Well, i asked for the direction for which uni to accept to if an offer was given.
Then, I saw 2 visions: - 4 "S" lightning flashes
- grad ceremony (saw myself on stage receiving an award, like for outstanding results )
then I asked God, what does 4 s lightning flashes mean?
Well, at the point in time, I had applied for 3 Uni in Canada and planning to apply/waiting for SIM registration to open.
Actually, I was quite against going to Canada for several reasons.
So i tot the Vision of 4 "S" was "SIM SIM SIM SIM!!'
yeah, cause my heart had other motives/fears.
I fear of graduating older than girl friends,
I fear of stepping out to work later than normal girls = need more time to save up b4, finding my partner, getting married and start a family.
And of course, my ministry!!
THEN, I remembered this verse I read during my Quiet time,
"When we covet something contrary to God's will, God will give it to us, but only to regret it later. "
Yeah, I dont want to regret what God has planned for me, so I'm going!!
YES, so the 4 "S" means this:
RYERSON UNIVERSITY, TED ROGERS SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT
(so cool right??) I've underlined all the "S'
Yah and I can feel a change in me. Previously when my parents talk about sending me over to Canada to study, I'll be all jumpy and totally shut off. (I'm the inward rebellion kind, so i wont shout or say anything, just keep quiet. But somehow my actions can see that I am not interested in going.)
BUT now, I sense a change in character. (I feel all excited to go now. :) )
YES!! and during the recent G12 conference, Pastor Cesar was preaching about Dreaming dreams for God, and asked who wants to open their house and start a cell group and so I STOOD UP!
Yeah, Im gg to lead a cell once I've settled down.
Yeah, thats all what I've got to share. :)
And, thanks for all who wished and celebrated my birthday! :)
LOVE YA ALL!!

TRAINING FOR SG BI.
I need prayers for my Swim trial. its a open sea swim 1.5km. Jenny and I will be participating.
so do pray for both of us. :D
Do pray that we will be fine in the water.. able to adapt quickly to the 'not so clean' water,
pray that we will not suffer any leg/hand cramps. pray for good weather and good currents
(i am not sure what type of currents are better and easier to swim in.), pray for our muscle aches
to be gone, pray for loads of energy so that we will be able to complete the swim in less than 50min.
well, so far, Jenny and I have been practicing and our timings have improve gradually..
so i thank God for that :)
MOST OF ALL..please pray for me. i am kinda afraid to swim in the sea.. yes i have asked God to
remove the fear from me.. but i know i need to have the courage to face my fears and to step into the
sea to start swimming first before God can make the miracle happen.
i was just reading "Fearless" by Max Lucado on my way to work and this verse speaks to me.
'I am leaving you with a gift-peace of mind. And the peace I give the world cannot give. So dont be troubled or afraid." John 14:27 NLT
So i am gonna claim this verse and i will meditate it whilst i swim.. plus singing praise song while i swim.. (sing in my head, of course.)
I just wanna thank Jenny for training with me for the past 2 weeks. Thanks girl! <3 ya! :)
Thank u Sky for taking us to the sea and teaching us the necessary techniques needed for the swim leg.
I also want to thank all the prayer warriors in advance first.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

It was only by God's grace that my bro name was picked during the ballot and he willingly allowed me to take Ahbee to the parade.
The program was awesome and did not fail to captivate me. :D and the atmosphere was awesome tooo!
AND I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE FIREWORKS!!!!!!

40 days of faith-I can overcome
I can, You can, We can!
I'll be leading a group of 8 ppl every tues 8pm for 6 weeks. from 1 Aug to 11 Sept. And during each week, different topics will be taught. the first lesson is You can overcome. 2. You can be healed. 3. You can win and have success. 4. You can be special. 5. You can do great things. 6. You can dream.
For now, i am just sharing what i have learnt as i prepare for the session tmr.
The first lesson: You can overcome.
I feel that it really speaks to me, cause I'm at a crossroad right now- My university admission.
I was rejected by all 3 universities; NUS, NTU, SMU and an overseas university
in Canada; York University. Probably because my grades arent good enough. The feeling of being rejected is like so disheartening.
These qns keeps me thinking.. Where am I going to study? Local private uni or overseas education? What am I going to study? What am I going to do if my ministry if I go over there for 3-4 yrs? Will I have a mentor/ frenz there to whom I can talk to during times of need?
But after watching the 40 Days of faith video, Nick Vujicic's is a real motivator. He has no hands and no limbs, but yet he did not let his condition affect him. He overcame his condition and then be a blessing to others!
Though mine is not a physical condition, but its a serious topic which matters to me. I just wanna thank all those who has stepped in to give me advice on my university education choices. My parents, relatives and friends. I will overcome this period in my life, and i will do it according to God's will. I will continue to pray and ask for directions.
This video i watched- You can overcome, is very good encouragement to me, and i am sure it will be for you too. For those interested to watch this video give me a call or sms. :D

Night Cycling!
we had night cycling under the stars!!
First we watched World Cup @ ECP Mac. hmm, it was a fun experience, looking @ the excited faces of ppl when their team scored e goals.. and hearing their screams of joy!! hahaha
The cycling part is awesome man! I LOVE IT!! I din noe that SG's night sky is so pretty till i get to see it for myself. The kallang bridge and the IR lightings!! oh man! i just wish that i had my DLR cam with me, then i will be like "click,click,clicking''. And if my sis was ard, she will be playing with the shutter speed, and then swirling the camera to make the nice effects. LOL.
Somehow, i was not as tired when cycling leh. maybe its all the talking which kept me awake. :)
I wanna thank David and Clarence for entertaining me thruout the cycling terrain. haha! w/o u both, i think i would have crashed into a tree or something due to tiredness.
The supper @ Lao Pa Sat was AWESOME!! the dim sum and the teh peng, kept me hyped up for awhile. :D
Everything went well :D except for the fall Jerome had due to the faulty bike chain which got disengaged with the gear. :(
Thank God, Ben was there as a 'Safety officer' with a car, so Jerome need not ride e bike to the rental shop. So the bike was parked and locked at a lamp post and Isaac will ride the bike back. then somehow the keys HL gave Isaac was wrong and he wld have needed to walk a long journey back, but thx to a nice guy who gave Isaac a ride back to the rental shop.
THEN!! Alex, Isaac and I went to pick the bike up. Found out that the chain was disengaged with the gear and we decided to drive the bike back. So the bike goes into the boot, with me! haha. then Alex and Isaac in the front seat. hehehee.
It was an Awesome night, Awesome weather, with Awesome company of frenx. PTL.

Back from Shanghai
Yes, i brough my Monopoly Deal along to play on the grass patch at Mexico's pavilion
At the mexico pavilion
the guy right behind me is a rep from Turkey! ( My family went ard asking different reps of each country to take
Check this out!
this is the Uk pavilion, i love it! so pretty!
I AM BACK!! :D
I cant seem to express how much i love SG now. hahaa.
This trip to Shanghai has been an enriching and eyeopening experience for me. Not forgetting to mention tiring too!!! imagine, walking/queueing to enter the pavilions for at least 10hrs per day over 5 days. WOW, isnt it. i think my legs muscles are better toned now. haha.
over the 5 days @ the Shanghai Expo 2010, my family visited quite a number of country and themed pavilions.
UK, Canada, Norway, Singapore, Sweden, Germany, India, Sri Lanka, Africa, Central and South America, Egypt, Australia and some others. too many to rmb.
Its quite a disappointment cause we couldnt see some very interesting pavilions. cause the queueing time is a total turn off.
Imagine, to see the italy/japan/Switzerland/korea and Saudi Arabia ppl have to queue for like 7 hrs to enter the pavilion! no way man! haha
The Expo has totally packed with ppl. with at least 350,000 ppl viewing it per day! can u imagine that??!! OMGOSH! and most of the visitors are ppl frm China. And these ppl have very bad habits. They love to cut queues, spit and pee anywhere they like. Squeezing with them at the queues at each pavilions, sometimes make me quite irritated. LOL.
The pavilion with the longest queue is Germany. my family queued for almost 4hrs! thank god i got my itouch with me. music and apps to entertain me. :D
hmmmm, din get to do shopping though. cause the main aim of this trip was to explore the expo. but we did manage to walk down Nanjing road, The Bund, Cloud Nine shopping mall. Just look see, look see.
Food here is really cheap and good. :D
imagine, we bought half a duck, some cha siew, 3 bowls of noodles and some other side dishes costs about $15. great deal right! hahah! :D
and
my family went to this arabian restaurant and the menu english translation CMI! i kept laughing. check out the pics.
Fries the prosperous fish dry
Saliva Chicken
Bomb the angle of potato
And instant noodles were part of our dinner most of the time. cause after a long day of walking, all will just crash onto the bed and KO. so instant noodles, fruits and nutrisoy were our main source of food. :D the instant noodles were cheap there tooo!! approx 1 bowl of korean instant noodles cost like 50cents SGD! haha..
Alright, for more pics, check out my FB wall. :D
gg to slp now alr.
