Revelation 21:4-5

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

the social science students got an email at the beginning of the year tt says: "free admission to national museum of singapore!"

*beams*

last fri, class ended one half hour early. so ash chris and i decided to cross the road frm our building to the museum.

At the front desk...
us: "hello, we are students from smu social science, can we go in straight?"
receptionist (after some time):" oh, the membership expire already. this month's fees havent pay."

ookie.

we ended up walking around the premises anyway, and checked out 2 open (= free) exhibitions. one of it was "Families and Friends- A Singapore Album exhibition", which showcases photographs to "tell the stories of Singaporeans from all walks of life"- quoted from National Museum's site. i like a few collections in particular because they tell stories that are personal and real. there's one really sweet and unique wedding album that's compiled and designed by the couple themselves. there's adrian pang's funny commentaries along with his photo collection. there're also photos of innocent little kids who dun pose in front of cameras. and of course, there're photos of guys in uniforms which caught my eyes... haha...

anyway, i'm really glad class was dismissed early. spending time with chrissy and ash was really fun... go check the museum out if u are interested. and guess wat, it turned out that there's free admission for everyone, weekdays lunch hour, from 12 to 2! (check the website, i'm not bluffing...)

hello! i lost my match.
but i am ok. heh dont worry... =)

actually i am writing a few posts simultaneously, but this one should have been published last week. kinda overdue. so first things first... i havent give thanks to God for what He has done, and more importantly, for who He is.

usually in smu we'll follow the sch calendar and plan stuffs by the week. for eg, week 8 is break week, final exams is in week 15, etc. i'm going to describe week 9.

i had an assigment due on monday before 12 noon, but i was already prepared to hand it in on tues. on monday nite, the prof emailed and apologised that he did not go to the office that day. he told us to hand it in on tues after 12 instead.

on wed, i was reminded of Col 3:23 and wrote the previous post.

on thurs, i was reminded of Matt 11:28-30.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

this is the first year that i experience peace throughout ivp. in my first year, i remember being so kanchiong- my heart was beating v fast and i can feel my head spin. last yr i was so relieved after my match, i got fever the next day.

i just want to thank God for assuring me that His yoke is easy, and His burden is light. haha it took 3 years to learn that... =P

go to Him, all us who are weary and burdened. He will give us rest. Take His yoke instead. learn from Him. For He is gentle and humble in heart. and we will find rest for our souls. For His yoke is easy, and his burden is light.

on fri and sat, i can't remember how many times the 2 verses gave me strength, and from that strength, peace. it was certainly many many many times...
there's little burden to win the match, to live up to others' expectations, n no more fear of losing. just doing my best for the one, and to rest in one thought.

even after i lost, i din feel the same kind of sadness that i felt in the past. well... i still wake up a few mornings and automatically replay little snippets of the comp. i still think of the things that cud and shud have been done better if i cud turn back time. but the heart is calmed with peace.

are you worrying about anything? actually i am... haha. but let's not worry k! it's all under the control of a super zai God!

everything'll just fall into place...
like magic.
