LETTERS FROM THE LIVING

Sunday, October 08, 2006

The haze has been the talking point in Singapore these couple of days and it was like hell on Earth, as though evil has conquered the land. It was as if the 7th Month was on instant replay - sans the getais... My poor lungs...

Yet, the Trinity soccer team played a friendly match on Saturday morning despite the PSI hovering around near the 100 region!! The opposing team however, could not blame their poor performance on the weather as they have only their un-sportmanship behaviour that became their undoing. We held our composure despite their reckless and dangerous play, and won the match with a resounding 9-0 scoreline!! Our biggest victory to date was partly due to the invitation of a FTV who stole the show with is Cristiano Ronaldo-esque performance and also a passion to play for God and holy pride that drove the team to victory!! I dedicate my wonderful volley goal to Jesus and my loved ones!!! :)

Thank God for the weather today as I was helping a fellow care cell member with her short film project - along with a few other kind and helpful souls! It was fun as I like to do filming, all the intricacies involved right down to the minute details that give birth to the end product that you see on the screen. Nevertheless, being the sound man, (I mean the one holding the boom mike and the audio mixer, not the mentally sound one though, haha..), it was a workout as I have to be involved in most of the scenes to capture the sounds needed. And boy was it straining my muscles at times! Thank God as there were no major hiccups for the shoot!

Onto more serious stuff, as many might have known, I was selected for the GIP to go to the US to study for one semester - January to May 2007. However, life is not a bed of roses! Firstly, I have to do the proper subject matching to replace certain core modules that I am suppose to do in NTU. Nothing is approved yet and nothing is concrete as I can only register them in January 2007 when I get there. And there is no priority for exchange students to get the subjects at Georgia Tech, so I am praying for God's almighty favour and grace to be able to read at least 5 modules over there!!

Moreover, this trip may be blessed by God, but the finances does not drop down from the heavens just like that! So, the entire budget is estimated to be around USD$13K or SGD$20K!!! I thank God for the prudence of my parents as they have enough to assure me that I can get by, but it also means that they will have to part with the money meant for house renovation when we move house due to en-bloc next year... Therefore, I pray for discipline to be a good steward of my finances now and abroad in the future as well as for Jehovah Jireh (the provider) to bless my parents with propsperity as they faithfully sow into His Kingdom! Amen!!

Lastly, I am seeking for God's wisdom and favour at work in my IA company! Work is piling up and my final report due date is drawing near. Glory be to God that I have not step on people's toes or make others "du lan" at work! But I am praying for progress in my assigments and produce quality and acceptable work for my department! Hallelujah!! Granted everryone else is also facing trials and tribulations of their own, so my prayer also covers everyone to draw nearer and cling on God's promises!!!

VJ Titanium unleashes a gem of a track from a relatively new and unknown Christian rock/goth metal band!! Flyleaf is also fronted by a kick-ass babe and though their songs doesn't even sound like anything Hillsongs-ish, these God-bothering fellas know their purpose and their message is one of faith and hope!! Dig in...

Flyleaf - I'm So Sick

Worrying is like a rocking chair, it keeps you going but gets you nowhere!
God's Word is like a manual, reading it won't make things happen, but doing what it says will make things happen!!
The dictionary is the only place where miracle comes before prayer!!!
