Where's my laptop!!!

Dear all,

Whew..haha..wells, i've just been to a service, a campus outreach church called H2O. Yepp, pretty small at this time, but that's because most of the students ain't here yet. And today was more of the leader's meeting than a service. Yepp, so much to find out about them before i make a decision.

But i like what they are doing. They are mostly leaders [cell group leaders] and they were running through like the things they intend to do when term begins, like the cell group, the 6 values they believe in. Yepp, and i pretty much agree with what they are doing. They are prepared to go door to door, introduce themselves, make people feel welcomed without being a nuisance.. they believe in discipleship..they believe in beig sincere and building a relationship within the cell group..they believe in God..Hha..which church don't? but problems about the church denomination, the word..i guess they will come later as i return next week to see how their service is like..so that's all i can say for now..yepp..but i'm pretty much decided to come back and see how they're like..

Haha..and we can definitely learn much from them? for example, they were giving examples of how they went to strange places and went to the local church there, and sat around, was there early, but no one talked to them, or made them feel welcome..And as i quote from them, 'it felt like THEY needed to take the initiative to be friendly and adear themselves to the church members there.' And i think that is very much true..Sigh..even in City harvest? Like if daphne did not bring me into the church and cell group, and i sat around the cell group alone, do you think anyone of you would come up to me and talk to me and make me feel welcome? Well, bottom line is, everyone's a great and friendly person when you get to know them..but people who walk-in don't know anyone! so basically i guess we should stop making the cellgroup a g-mail prototype whereby people get in only by invitations..try to be more assertive and take initiative to reach out to people who are sitting near! make the environment more friendly! haha..Challenge Daph..haha..yepp..it's not in our culture to do so, but we can make it our city harvest /E240 culture! yepp!

Yepp..anyway, i've got a English Advance Placement appointment later on..haha..and most people who came from Singapore did not need to take the exam..hha..don't ask me why..but because of that, i cannot go down to Briarwood mall, and cannot get my laptop..ha..but i've got wenjie to scout out for me any laptop that's below 1K and has nice stats..haha..thank God for friends in my life..yepp..and cash is running tight which is why i'm not going ice skating with the gang and staying behind here at a computer terminal blogging..haha..yepp..

Anyway, i've gotta choose my classes and courses and schedule later, and actually enrol for them tomorrow after i meet my academic advisor, but i've heard that most of the common courses are already snapped up..haha..sadz..wonder what i will actually get to study instead..but thinking of taking up Latin OR theology since i gotta fulfill some humanities requirement for my degree..haha..then i'll come back and tell you guys all about the apocrylic [did i spell that correct? it's greek to me..] and it IS greek for 'secret books' of the bible..haa..i read briefly what was in there, and it included the song/prayer of Shadrach, Meshach and Abinigral [i'm not typing with my bible in front of me so i tink i got the names spelt wrongly..] the song/prayer they made to God when the king of babylon threw them into the furnace. And stuff like that which is not in the bible..haha..

yepp..To add on to that, i've been to the flagshop of Borders which is in Michigan, Ann Arbor [flagshop means it's the first shop ever] yepp, and they have a great selection of bible, bible guides, commentaries, and all the secret books, Gnostic bible, and an interesting book known as the 'who wrote the bible wrong?' which mentions that the story of the forgiven adulterer in the gospels DID NOT HAPPEN..i have no idea how true it is, or whether the author is credible..haha..but i guess if it isn't real, it's still a great moral and great word that God probably wanted included in the bible anyway. Yepp..haha..so i'm NOT in good hands here..haha..too much information for the God-hungry person i am..haha..thirst for knowledge comes as a double edged sword..but that's where i'm gonna test my innocence to find my virtue AMEN! haha..yepp..dun worry, i'll stay true to the word and the bible..anything else is just head knowledge..doesn't change who God is to me at all..haha..

AND there is a big number of christian fellowship among the singaporeans here! haha..and they are all eager to find a church/campus church to be in, which is great..not at all unenthusiastic. But i guess i wonder actual spiritualty i will have to find out through time..Cannot tell at a glance..yepp..but i'm in good hands here in regards to the fellowship i guess..

Yepp..the food here's great? haha..i've never actually lived to eat so i'm not so picky about food..but the serving's great here, and meals at Dorms are like buffet style? and i have to really watch my diet here and exercise lots or else the prophecy of the freshmen 15 will come true! Argh! haha..yepp..prolly gonna go jogging before i shower and change and go for the counseling session i have later..haha..yepp..

I STIL CANNOT FIND MY LAUNDRY AREA IN MY DORM! haha..but i found a couple of pretty nifty stuff..woke up at 0630 cos i just did..haha..i'm really sleeping qt little, but already used to it [like in engineers days] haha..which is really great, cos 3 weeks ago i would be wondering if i can drag myself out of bed at 1030 in the morning..haha..yepp..and i can get like cafe AMERICANO at starbucks for only 1.95 so i can get cheap coffee too? [not as cheap as kopitiam, but there ism't any kopitiam anyway..haha..] yepp..and i can get a couple of bibles and guide books for you guys if you wanna..haha..just wonder how i can actually get it to Singapore..

Yepp..they sell post stamps at my dorm so i can send mails back too, so that'll happen if i get the time to do so..

AND i can only set up my bank account on monday..sigh..add the time it takes to process my bank draft..so i can prolly only get my guitar on wednesday? haha..then it gives me time to go shop for one and see if i actually wanna settle for a cheap one first then buy a nice one next year..but then again, i'll be looking for a nice one NEXT year Next year again..[you get what i mean?] and then i'll never get around to buying one..sigh..haha..

Yepp..guess that's pretty much already..hope to get my I-net connection up soon..and since i wake early and it's 12 hour difference i'll be able to MSN you guys in the evening! haha..evening YOUR time horr..haha..yepp..take care

Oh..i'm sorry i did not get to watch the online service on the marriage seminar..but i got an essay question about Marriage culture back home tho..haha..so i got to see many marriage views from differing cultures..and conclusion is that Pastor Kong is really doing us a great favour by letting us in on the secrets! like i was reading reading and i was a bit disgusted at some of the quotes that i read..haha..yepp..so feel blessed!

To Dad, mom, sis, now that i know you guys are reading this..I know i probably mailed you that i'm fine, but i guess i still gotta tell you here..yepp..doing really fine here, have friends that look out for me, and growing fat already so you guys better recognise me when i come back! haha..yepp..too well fed here already, no sinus problem at all, it's not cold yet so i'm realy doing fine..just that my wardrobe is gonna repeat soon..haha..yepp..and i probably cannot get a car in the first year i'm here [cos not enough $$] so you guys can take a breather..

Dear all, take care, God Bless!

-Endz- God really do take care and give providence! WAKE UP! and be aware of how He loves you! Happiness is the awareness of the great power of love shown around you! [day 2 of the book i tink.]
