18 May 2008, Sunday In the morning, I was rushing my school work. After that, I went for Hillsong United worship at Singapore Expo. It was really great, the atmosphere and everything. I felt God’s presence during the worship and I prayed in tongues for awhile too. I just hope that my church can have worship like this every week and that everyone will really sing out loud and shout their praises unto God.
I went to run with Daryl in the morning and was late for church so I missed the whole worship segment. After that, I stayed back in church for games committee meeting and found out that the games were quite interesting. However, there is a lot of work that we need to do as a committee, and the games are not as simple as it sounds.
19 May 2008, Monday
Since it is Vesak Day, I went to Daryl’s house to gym and run. We exercised till around ten plus before he came over to my house to swim in the afternoon. Bowling training was cancelled due to the public holiday and I wished it was still on.
20 May 2008, Tuesday
I went for my first sailing physical training. The people there are quite friendly and I got to know some new people. The trainings were not tiring initially, but the static training was quite intense especially on the abdominal muscles. After training, I made my way home with Christopher who was from sailing and I knew him when he came to my church last time.
21 May 2008, Wednesday
I did well for the practical lesson getting an ‘A’ grade for the overall practical assessment. School ended at about twelve, but it was a tiring day even though lessons were short.
22 May 2008, Thursday
I had a bowling competition which I performed quite badly. I got six strikes in a row for the first game, but that was not enough to get me into the top five positions. On the last game, I scored the highest among my three other games with a score of 191. I only had one open frame on the last frame, but that was bad enough to take away my 200 plus high score which I have been training so hard for. Anyway, I think I still got lots of rooms for improvement in bowling.
23 May 2008, Friday
I went down to Mount Faber Safra to watch the "Singapore Open Bowling Competition" for awhile and check out some bowling ball prices before going home to do my school work. I have a lot of school work to do so my weekend is going to be very packed.

11 May 2008, Sunday
This is probably one of the best days of my life because I received the gift of tongues on this very day. I have been praying for the gift of tongues for about two years already and I finally received it. After church, I went home to bake a strawberry cheesecake for my mother to celebrate Mother’s Day. It was quite nice to eat but I did not decorate it because it was too time consuming.
12 May 2008, Monday
I had practical in the morning till afternoon and my group’s practical results were wrong for the first time. Something must have gone wrong during the experiment or we calculated something wrongly. Anyway, we still got an 'A' grade for the practical so I think we just have to do well in the practical report part. In the evening, I had bowling training and I bowled quite badly because of my high swing. I think I need to work much harder in terms of my accuracy.
13 May 2008, Tuesday
Tuesdays have the most interesting lessons because I have Bioanalytics class in the morning and Pharmaceutical Manufacturing class in the afternoon. Although the lessons are interesting, I hate to do the tutorials.
14 May 2008, Wednesday
Lessons start at 8.00 am and end at 10.00 am. After lessons, I went to do my practical report with my friend before heading home.
15 May 2008, Thursday
I do not like lessons on Thursday because they are not only boring but difficult to understand. Lessons are from 8.00 am to 6.00 pm. After that, I had Campus Crusade Life Meeting before going home. I went home alone for the first time this semester because Lynette forgotten about me and went home.
16 May 2008, Friday
Hai Kiat came to visit me at school and we went bowling. I went home after that because I have lots of assignments and reports to hand in the following week.
17 May 2008, Saturday
I conducted the Basic Windsurfing Course alone and I nearly died of exhaustion because my students were so terrible and they never take care of the equipment. I ended the lesson slightly earlier because I got really frustrated at some of my students. Luckily, the wind and weather was good, so I could also windsurf a little just to keep in touch with the sport.
losing is not an option in this life's marathon

Happy Mother’s Day MUMMY Thank You GOD For Tongues
I would like to thank my mother for taking care of me all these years and for showering love on me. Without my mother, I do not know what will become of me now. I would like to thank my mother for guiding me and supporting me in the things that I do. I hope you like the strawberry cheesecake I baked for you, mummy. It is my first attempt baking a strawberry cheesecake, but I know it is going to be good because I put my love into it while baking it.
On Sunday, which is also Mother’s Day, it is one of the happiest days of my life. My words may not be able to describe it in full because God’s power is so miraculous and indescribable. Anyway, here are just some of my thoughts I would like to share.
I received tongues on this day, and I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit too. The feeling was great and nothing in life felt better than this. The pastor who prayed for me was Dr Thio Su Mien, which was a guest speaker. After the service, I went up to my pastor who called her to pray for me. Together, she and my pastor prayed for me in tongues and I received the gift of tongues miraculously. I have been praying for this gift for about two years already, and today I received it. Thank God.
During the prayer, I could feel the Holy Spirit entering my body through my hands. At first, I have to admit that I was afraid because I never had this feeling before. My hands were vibrating and I could not control it. However, after that I felt very relief and at the same time delighted.
awestruck we fall to our knees and we humbly proclaim

04 May 2008, Sunday
I stayed back in church to study for awhile after service. We also celebrated the birthdays of the youths born in May during youth programme. Happy Birthday to Natalie, you are 15 now and catching up with me. Hope you like your present.
05 May 2008, Monday
I had Bioanalytics practical in the morning and it went on well, just that it was a little difficult to put the cells into the different wells of the gel but my group managed to do it in the end. I had a five hour break after that so I went to bowl three games with one of my classmates. I won two out of the three games. In the evening, I had bowling training and I am still working towards my 200 plus high game.
06 May 2008, Tuesday
I dreamt that I messaged Natalie and wished her happy birthday but the dream was a fake, so I messaged her late by six and a half hours. I am not a very good friend went it comes to wishing people at twelve midnight. I might just fall asleep while waiting for time to pass if I am not occupied by anything.
07 May 2008, Wednesday
I had a group presentation which four people is supposed to present but only my group leader and I turned up. We still managed to get through the presentation and the lecturer said that he was impressed. Thank God for that. After that, I went to meet Daryl and he followed me to collect my memory card. We did some shopping at Cold Storage before going to his house to gym and run. The weather was permitting and we had a good run. Praise the Lord.
08 May 2008, Thursday
This is the longest school day from 8.00 am to 6.00 pm and all the lessons were very mind draining. I hate Thursdays, but I still have to go to school anyway. After school, I went to meet Lynette to go to church for worship practice to only find out that it was cancelled at the very last minute. There were some people at church studying, so I joined them for awhile to complete my tutorials before heading home.
09 May 2008, Friday
Bioanalytics tutorial was cancelled and the lecturer forgotten tell me and my friend, so we waited outside the classroom for about fifteen minutes before calling the lecturer to confirm that it was cancelled. After lessons, I went to bowl with my bowling team mate before going for the Campus Crusade Annual General Meeting in the evening.
10 May 2008, Saturday
I woke up at six plus to go to Daryl’s house to gym and run for the second time this week. I am really working towards a total fitness level so that I will be ready for the Singapore Marathon at the end of the year. After the run, I went to meet my mother and siblings for lunch at Fish and Co. and the food was great. I had a share of everyone’s serving too because they could not finish their food, so my stomach was filled to its maximum capacity with great food. After lunch, I parted with my family to travel down to church for three worship practice sessions till evening.
come holy spirit into my life so that you can take full control of me
