Wenqi introduced this very interesting quiz and the Johari fever started spreading. Here's my link: http://kevan.org/johari?view=missjoellechoo :)
.
As I reflect back, God really bless me with the girls that I'm taking. As I message Estee Ho (my disciple in crusade) for her prayer requests to pray for her, she asked about mine and wanted to pray for me too. She even reminded me to keep my focus on Jesus and do QT! Another girl I'm taking in Church, Chanping, asked me how's my migraine during cell because I shared with her the other time. That was so sweet of these 2 girls. Thank God for you girls, blessed to be part of your life :)
.
Haha. Weird thing is, they both look alike!

Project Madness/Thanksgivings
Hello everyone! I survived these 2 weeks with 4 project submissions and 2 presentations. It has been crazily busy to the maximum but God has been with me throughout :) I thank God! :D
.
Pictures
Most of the classmates brought their laptops to school to do project and 2M02 being very on, some of us, despite being from different groups, we did projects together and this was what happened in the end. Estee: Asking for explosion to the max!
And this is us (marketing students) in school at 10.30pm on weekdays
Irregular meals
Project meetings normally starts at 9am where everyone would just reach at 10pm. It's always going home late, sleeping late, waking up late and late for project meeting. Breakfast are normally skipped if Mum didn't prepare, cup noodle for lunch (cheers' sales revenue sure have gone up), I can just forgot about dinner after going home at 10pm. However I snack a lot when I finish up my work late at night. Thank God for Mum that she made me Japanese veggie omelette today which I shared with my classmates!
.
.
Short Prayers
On my way to school today, I have been praying for my family, friends whom I remember, 23 Korean missionaries, committing myself to God (in all aspects, especially love for others) and my project group. It was so refreshing and a good start to the day. Thank God for the great time spent during the 15min bus journey.
.
Thanksgivings
(First of all, I wanna thank God that giving thanks to God is becoming a lifestyle for me!)
.
1. Project Groupmates
This group arrangement has been the best thus far (cept with some exception, sad to say) and I really enjoy working with you guys. All the laughters and stressed up hour before deadlines, I'd remember them. Through this team dynamics that we've shown this time round, it taught me more about teamwork. To be frank, I've been quite an individualistic person when it comes to project. Thank you guys for teaching me something new and thank you for wonderful memories. (Bad ones, I'll forget them and move on.)
.
2. Consumer Behaviour Presentation
The first time I was so nervous before presentation! But God was really good. I stood outside Brand Hub (a marketing facility in school) and wanted to pray and guess what? Estee and Marian was around and we prayed together for the group. That's not all, guess what happened? The rest of the groupmates saw us praying and wanted to pray together. In the end, the whole group, consisting of Christian, Catholic and free thinker all prayed together! Praise God! We were praying aloud somemore :) Something encouraging to hear isn't it? :)
.
And God heard our prayers. Many teams told us that the time limit is really too short to finish up the presentation with more than 25 slides. My group had 50 sildes. Amazingly, we finished the presentation right on the dot, 15 minutes. Thank you Lord! :) and tutor Sue Lou commented that it was a good effort in everything.
.
3. Spiritual Support
I really really wanna thank God for Mum, Michelle, Marian and Estee for being there in times when I feel really low, frustrated and irritated (ok, the list can just go on and on) but I thank God that they were there for me to share my thanksgivings as well. Marian shared with me something that really impacted me,
.
"Ask God to fill you with Love when you handle different situations and you'll find it much easier."
.
Thank you, this kept me going today, for the last submission of our financial report.
.
4. God spoke at the most unexpected moment
Marian had to go for her ballet classes and that gave me a chance to work on her laptop for 2 hours. I opened iTunes and started listening to some christian songs and I came across this song, I've Decided which goes like this:
.
Jesus, I thank You for loving me
Thank You for the sacrifice You took on Calvary
Thank You for the sacrifice You took on Calvary
I thank You for touching me in each and every way
For all the things that You've done
I give You praise
.
I give You praise
.
I've decided to follow You my Lord
I've decided to take up the Cross
I've decided to take up the Cross
No turning back, No turn back
My Lord You are my all
My Lord You are my all
.
For God so loved the world
that He gave His only Son
That whoever believes in Christ alone
will live for eternity
.
It impacted me so much as the chorus came out, "For God so loved the world..." because I looked away from the screen and saw one group of classmates going to smoke, another group doing project feeling so stressed and the rest talking to each other with vulgarity usage. It just impacted me so much about God's love for all of us and yet, not all know Him personally yet. The feeling was so strong that I cannot just pen down into words. But I thank God for that reminder :)
.
What's Next?
3 Presentations next week = 3 sets of powerpoint slides to be done
and 3 days of wearing heels!
.
God bless whatever that's coming ahead of me.
Gonna rest early tonight.

I'm enjoying the muffin Jie brought back from Korea and it's from Dunkin' Donuts! It's really yummy and so sweet in my heart.
.
I truly appreciate the effort even though she didn't buy Dunkin' Donuts for me. Jie knew I really loved donuts and bought a donut during her trip and took a picture of it. Hee, thanks dear one :) And please take back the apologies, I am not angry nor disappointed. I am already very happy upon looking at the picture you took!
.
It's been a week since Jie and Laksa went to Korea and poof! they're back in Singapore! Went to the airport after service to receive them and I'm so glad to see them again. It's such a weird yet comfortable feeling upon receiving them and throwing hugs to the both of them.
.
I really feel very touched by my sister that she kept me in her heart while she's in Korea. Praying for me, buying things for me and all. She told me about this wholesaler store in Korea where she spotted a really nice shirt and wanted to get for me and was disappointed when the sales person said that it is not allowed to be purchased if she's just buying 2 pieces (one for me and another for herself). Well, she bought me a really cute pen and I love it so much.
.
It's the thoughts that count, yes? I appreciate it a lot, really.

But God designed work to be much more fulfilling and meaningful. Work for a Christian should be guided by a sense of calling, be known for skill, have an above-reproach level of integrity and character and consistently seek to serve others.
.
Life at Work by John Maxwell
.
I need to digest and churn this out in my lifestyle.
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath: do not fret - it only leads to evil.
Psalms 37:8
.
It was a bad bad day today and I totally abhor it. It was very much like a roller coaster ride where there are moments I can laugh my heart out and then to totally serious and angry moments.
.
It has been a really packed week with Consumer Behaviour Project almost everyday from 10am all the way till night time and I'm still in school. The first time I experienced such busyness that from projects. Many times I felt like giving up, really. I know it's through God's grace that I pulled through without falling sick when I'm busy to the point where I forget my dinners, sleeping at 3am and waking up at 8am, having bad backaches and stiff shoulders.
.
Yesterday 5pm was the deadline but my group only handed in our written report an hour and a half after 5pm. To be honest, I am really worried and angry. I feel so unsettled, even right now. We were the latest for the whole Marketing cohort and its such a disappointment to me. Well, not that things were done very last minute but it was due to inadequecy of proper communication that caused the delay. Painful experience. I don't deny I am at wrong at some point of time but what happened today was unforgivable, now.
.
One thing that I treasure most about this week would definitely be the time spent with lovely groupmates such as Royston, Tiffy (she's so cute!), Estee and Marian. I got to know each of them better and I am proud to say that the team cohesiveness between the 5 of us is really strong and dynamic. Thank you for giving me such great project working experience :) Lots of lame jokes, fun and laughters! e.g. Royston as the power point, connecting to Nick's computer and all! I will remember them.
.
One project down. Four more to go.
.
No longer I can, but Jesus can.
.
Dear Lord,
Teach me to revise on my own actions and grant me strength to forgive despite it being so tough. I need You more than anyone right now...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DEAREST...
She prepared Jap food and I rushed home for dinner after project meeting to have dinner with her. It was a simple and nice dinner with Mummy :) And I'm really glad she liked the cake I decorated for her. Even though not much effort, but yeah, thank God she was really happy :)
And my wish for her would be...
Dear Mummy, hope you'll always be as youthful as 18! Like me! :p
Thank God for creating my wonderful Mummy :)
Even though sometimes very naggy but yeah, I know, she cares a lot.
LOVE YOU MUMMY.
Esther and I are preparing for another surprise for her on Friday after worship practice!

Thanksgivings!:)
Remember the sharings I blogged after taking my Mid-Sem papers? Well, results are out and I'm thankful for it. Though I didn't really do very well but I really wanna give thanks to God for leading me through the late nights and all and surviving without coffee without realizing it. I thank God that I am able to bless my classmates during the term test period as well :)
One subject that I'm particularly thankful for would be Consumer Behaviour! I really thought I would fail because when the lecturer went through the paper during lecture, my answers were all so different. I frowned when my tutor handed me my paper...
Ms SueLou: Why you frown?
Me: Ah I think I will do quite badly :(
*i took my paper from her and peeked at it*
Me: *shocked*
Me: 41/50! :D
Should be either an A or distinction because highest in level is 42/50!
Really praise God for that! Will continue to do my best! :)

A Pleasant Surprise!:)
Esther knew I love donuts and decided to Q at donut factory for me on Sunday afternoon! I got a missed call from her during my afternoon nap while she was Q-ing as she wanted to ask me which flavours I like the best. When I knew that, I was so touched! Any flavour will just brighten up my day! :D

And bingo! She got it right, got 2 of my favourite flavour for me - chocolate glazed donuts! :) Had dinner with Mummy and Esther because Jie told Esther to take care of us while she's in Korea (haha!) and I enjoyed the dinner very much! Lots of sharings and laughters :) and good food!
Mum: Why do you love donuts so much?
Me: I don't know. Ever since nursery I have been eating donuts right?
Mum: Oh ya hor! (in excitement) Now I know why.
Well, donuts from donut factory is nice in its own ways :) just that it's a bit too sweet for me (prob because esther bought it? haha!) I still prefer the normal donuts (tian tian quan) and definitely the chocolate glazed donuts!
While sending the team off to Korea,
Susan: Ok, I will try to get Dunkin Donuts for you from Korea this time round :)
Me: Yay!
Ah, I feel really touched and loved! Thank you for choosing to bless me in this small yet meaningful way :) Thanks dear ones!

God's plans will never be "opps sorry! wrong hor"... :)
I will be on dance duties these two weekends while almost the whole dance team will be at a Korea conference. And I really thank God for reminding me the last prayer meeting about my service to Him as a dancer, if not I really do not know how to lead the dancers for this week.
After weeks of ministry break and going through many things about my serving as a dancer, it really makes me treasure the time where I can dance for God, the time where I hold up any instruments... It's really great to be able to dance for God again.
I am really encouraged by my dancers this weekend. Even though they are all quite new to the team and pretty unsure of many steps, but to see them trying so hard, it warms my heart. Esp Ruixue, when I see her thinking so hard for the steps while I was outside practicing, it reminds me of 4 (or 5?) years ago when I just started dancing for service. And her teachable and willingness really really encourage me, thanks sis! Continue to shine for Jesus as a dancer :)
And now, I pray that I will not fall sick over the weekends. I know God will protect :)

I caught a cold! Running a slight fever right now :( Chest pains yesterday night and stamina was really lousy when I went jogging. My body system is really breaking down :( ah choo!
Nevertheless to forsake 15 minutes of my very important sleeping hours, I would love to share with all of you my wonderful experience at prayer meeting today! Am really really thankful to God! :D
Prayer meeting was really good because the Lord has once again affirmed me of my serving to Him as a dancer. For the past few weeks, I have been doubting about this serving position. Many a times as the dancers enter into a time of warfare dance, I am left at the congregation clueless and at the same time afraid to step out which I always end up in tears. But it was different today :)
I was submitting to God about this fear at the start of the prayer meeting and as we worshipped, Rev Chern called for dancers to the front to dance. I was hesitating whether should I go to the back to see if I will hold up some flags but Joann (my dance leader) told us, only if you have the calling, pick up the banner and go to the front, if not, stay here and pray. And of course, I belonged to the latter.
I had a great time of worshipping and confessing some sin that has been entangling my life. I realised I had to forgive some people and I prayed and ask God to give me strength to forgive and not allow it to have any opportunities for the evil one to get through. Next, I prayed about my serving as a dancer and this was my prayer,
"God, I pray that You will continue to mould me as a dancer. Lord, my desire as a dancer for You is to simply worship you to glorify Your name and to impact the congregation. I pray that You will make my heart desire right on track whenever I dance for you, for one purpose, that is, to glorify Your name. Lord, take away all negative thinkings and prepare my heart. I know when I am ready, You will prepare a banner for me to dance for You."
This was my prayer but after awhile, negative thoughts came again and immediately I prayed and asked God to help me out. And indeed, I felt much better after that and am not a bit affected by it! Ange (my prayer buddy) prayed for me and told me that I will forever be a dancer for God and do not doubt! I was so encouraged by that :) I continue to worship God and worship is coming to an end and I was thinking to myself,
"God, worship is gonna end soon. But it's okay, there's other times where I can dance for You, when I am ready."
And suddenly, Susan told me that Joann is requesting for the younger ones to go to the front. Dance ministry's younger ones could only be Jia, Ruixue or me. So I went up to the front, not knowing what to do, but keep submitting to the Lord.
And suddenly (yes again, because really very "suddenly"), Joann came down from the stage and passed me the fire banner and asked me up on stage! I was like (!)! I grabbed the flag and hop on to the stage! :) And to realise, Joann's younger ones means the Sunday School dancers.
Some little dancers followed their parents for prayer meeting and Joann led them to dance during the warfare. They were all right in front of me and as I dance with the fire banner, I prayed for my little ones that despite at such a young age, they would feel the passion to dance for God and be fired up for Jesus :)
It was a wonderful experience and a beautiful sight to see children coming to the front to dance for God! God has been using people around me to encourage me about my service to God as a dancer at my very vulnerable stage in the ministy. I'm glad I didn't give up and asked God for the right mindset/desire at the end.
Thank You Lord for giving me an awesome time to dance for You :)

Bad day today! >:(
Well I think the 2 happiest things that happenend today were
-to catch up with Jia on our way to church! Enjoyed her sharings :)
-to watch Royston dance at VIBES. Haha! The moment Roy started dancing, my jaw dropped k! Well done Royston :) You did really well.
Michelle went to watch the competition with me and we had a simple dinner with nice conversations. Love her company and I just love the way where we have similar perspectives about different issues. Thank God for Michelle for me to share my bad day!
I hate this feeling when I'm the one who getting all the scoldings when many are at fault. Making me feel all embarrassed thinking hard how to satisfy you and get all your replies in a irritated tone. Worse thing is, I see a different attitude from you towards another someone who's at fault too.
Oh well...
Why me? :(
I need more of You Lord

Jia is coming back tonight/tmr morning (2+am) :D
I'm so happy and can't wait to see her! Thinner? Darker? But one thing I'm sure, she's definitely a stronger lady! :) I have so much so much to share with her. My usual bus 23 mate, a sister whom I can complain to regarding my life and share blessings with. I can't wait to see Jia! Pardon me for being so excited! :p
Can't wait to go to the airport to receive her!

I wanna give thanks to God because:
I completed my 2 Individual Journals yesterday night (redo hor!)
I completed my Psychology video (also redo but of better quality)
Computer hung before I saved my project but thank God am able to retrieve it!
I can sleep early today.
Yesterday's msn nick: Bad bad day but God will make a way
Today's msn nick: God has made a way!
Aren't Jesus a living God who really cares for us in all situations? :)

The day started really badly and that explains all the "ARGH"s. And something in school just had to make my day worse because...
I lost my thumbdrive! (again! and this time round, it's really goodbye) and I am really sad because I spent my whole morning to finish up my Individual Journals (IJ) and by saying I finished them, it's been vet through and edited. And poof! No more :(!
I became half dead shortly after. But I was kinda consoled when my Consumer Behaviour (CB) tutor sympathized with my situation and told me it's alright if I need more time. That's really understanding, praise God? :)
This thought came to my mind: God, how can I be thankful when I am in this situation? I really do not know how to give thanks. Everything seems crashing down on me. But God is gracious, read on.
Went for LM with a heavy heart because I had no time to prepare for discipleship! Complained to Michelle and she got so worried for me cause I look like I'm gonna break down anytime soon. But everything started to get better after LM ice breakers because I won the game! Haha! :p
Then we broke up into DGs where I shared with my girls and thank God for Howeluen and Dyna, they really encouraged me a lot. I like Howeluen's frankness :) I told her about the problem this morning and she told me that I have to forgive. And as I lead the DG, I felt so uneasy because I am not doing what I preach and at the end of the session, I promised my girls, I will forgive, by God's strength. Hard but I will try :) DG was good, God led me through.
So that's a thanksgiving. Ultimately, it's not that bad afterall right?
C'mon! I can produce even better IJs the second time I write it. Amen.

Today is the first time I experienced Monday Blue. I felt so "sian" the whole of today! But something worth to thank God for is that I slept early the last night and I woke up on time today and reached school on time for 9am lecture today! :) (24/200 attended the lecture though) Haha! But still am proud of myself :)
Did Psycho refilming this evening and it was really fun! I hope I can do the video by myself this time round without Junming around! After I conquer Movie Maker, Photoshop is next! :)
Rushed to the TM Fish & Co. for secondary school gathering but by the time I reached, they have already finished their dinner! So we headed to Coffeebean to catch up with one another :) I thank God for this time where most of us can meet up and just talk. And I just have this urge to make cookies at Sheena's which has already been decided on this Sunday! Looking forward to it, catching up with the girls and pure fun baking!
Thank God for a good day, good fun and good friends :)
Things to look forward to this week:
VIBES, TP dance competition on Saturday
Baking at Sheena's on Sunday
Learning to handle my stress by sloting in recreation activities in between, it has been good thus far :)

I woke up at 6.05am and got ready by 6.30am to head to church for morning prayer! It has been so long since I go to church on Sundays and it was definitely a well spent Sunday for me! :)
Morning prayer was good. Had a good time reflecting on Psalm 78 and praying for myself and also for the nation (40 days fast have started!) Thank God I made the right choice to wake up and go for morning prayer :)
It's youth sunday today so some of the youths (including me!) presented a dance item for the congregation! The congre was so hyped up and it brings much joy to see the smiles on their face as we dance! And thanks to those who supported us by clapping and shouting/cheering for us! :)
We had TMM gathering in the afternoon and something special was that we need not rush for lunch and head back for gathering but we stayed back right after service, all of us fast for lunch together and had a praise and worship session! It was wonderful, even though I was really sleepy but I enjoyed the time worshipping God with fellow TMM mates!
The Lord is working greatly in the worship team! Way to go!
