Joey_("v")_Jesus

this would would be my last postl...... for 2006!! yeah.. and here's some of my flashbacks... Happy times Sad times ugly times. creepy times. silly times funny times "AHhh" times crazy times hip times. "yoz~" helpless times angry times times when you whine. high times cool times. green days times when it rains. successful times times when you wanted to be "Somebody" times when you are trapped times when you're confused. times when people misunderstand you. it's my sister and I... times when people tried to bully you. times when you feel so cold. times when you stare at each other times when you had to sweep/clean toilets times when you feel like kicking someone times when you are being locked. times when you squeeze. times when you make mistakes times when i had to carry someone. times when i needed someone to pray for me. times when i had to stand and sleep. but i thank God for everything... Bye 2006 Hello 2007

for the past few days, 3 of which i was called to help work in my year 2 attachment centre... of cuz, i dont mind, especially when i miss them so much... 1st day there were only 3 children when i came... then, about 4 joined and i taught about 7... 2nd day there were more when i came in the afternoon... i took about 11 of them... 3rd day i took about 11 of them... and i thank God that within the 3 days of work, my favourite kid was there with me... so happy... but... because the K2s this year are considered graduates, they had to share their classroom with the new K1s next year... GOSH!!! it was hell for the kids i tell you... why? both the eng and chinese teachers are terrible... i really wanna scold them off or just punch them... the english teacher is the worst... terrible... i could have just called MCYS or whatever and put her to jail.. i'm so pissed off... she scolds and scolds... worse than cocks in the morning... irritating loud and high pitch voices... $%^&@#.!!! GO TO...

attire ready! socks and shoes ready! it's another day where i wanted to jog my normal route and at the same time, send out my letter i wanted to send to Asai Sotaro... the reason why i didnt send together with the rest was because he lived in Punggol... so, it's quite out of the way... anyway, as i started jogging down, one hand holding the letter for him, another with my hp tightly held, i felt water droplets falling on my head... well, i thought it was the wind that blew down the water droplets from the trees, as i ran further, away from trees and along the road, it started to pour... WOW!! it was really raining cats and dogs... it was bad... the letter was under my shirt and i was like trying to protect my hp from the rain... guess what? that wasnt bad enough... because i loved to run along roads and it's like the bridge above TPE, there wasnt any shelter nearby... so i ran as fast as i could, about 400 metres till i see a shelter up front... and i was below the Punggol...

i was so tired today when i had to wake up at 8am... and if you think "8am only ma", think again... yes, it's 8am... hahahaa... i slept at 3am the previous night, because i went all around SengKang to send my christmas cards to my children!! actually, i enjoy doing such surprises... however, i never had so much nerves and anxiety in my last 2 years of such delivery other than this delivery... i started at near midnight, from Jovan's house... before i reached his house, so coincidental that he smsed me, saying that he just reached home after his trip to Japan... well, then, i smsed him saying that it was so nice to see him enjoying his holidays and i just went his house and left the letter outside his house... hahaha... after Jovan's house, it started raining... sad... i planned the areas i wanted to go but plan failed because there's not plan B if there's rain.. so, since i had no umbrella and transport, i had to quickly deliver all my stuff and not get dr...

H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y J E S U S ! ! "Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:11 and MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!

only a few more hours and it's JESUS' birthday!!! hahaa... orrhh... another year older ah... :p anyway, i woke up late today... of cuz, reached church late too.. so i went over to help in the children's ministry... as i looked at Gawain, he smiled at me but i knew from the look on his face that something was wrong... that's the problem with children... one of their weaknesses is that they cannot hide their emotions... well, it was a long story when i asked him what happened... he was actually tearing when he was in my arms, on my lap.. and he said things like "i felt like i was being dumped..." i was so sad when i heard that... i wished i could talk to him longer... but his father was like at the door... anyway, i told him that he wasnt at all being dumped... and i still loved him... Jesus loves him too.... so, before he left, i asked him if he could get my bad from about 2 metres away... then, i took out the biggest present from the bag and gave it to him... ...

i was just walking around compass point, looking for gifts for my kids.. and so, i happened to be in mini toons... guess who i saw? it's Stanley! i taught Stanley when i was in year 2, in my attachment(NTUC)... it's been a long time since i see him because he didnt attend the NTUC year-end grad concert which i went... i taught him since he was in K1 and now, he's going to primary.. yes, time flies... anyway, i spotted him first... he was walking nearer and nearer to me... i'm not the type that will just call out his name unless i have a reason... haha... instead, his mother was the first to know i was just in front of him... ya.. so, i was just blocking his pathway and he looked up.. he glanced at me and then looked down again... but later, he looked up at me again and called out "Hello Teacher Joey" in a very shy and soft-spoken voice... he's so shy la... then i said "Hi Stanley" and continue searching for my gifts... it's a very funny fee...

youth camp was great... and i really felt so close to God... Loving Him more and more each single day... anyway, i'll post the photos once i got from my friends... yesterday night, i uttered a prayer that says: "Lord, i know nicholas tan is back from australia... and i know that he'll be going to China tomorrow... please let him call me..." after bathing this morning, i saw 2 missed call on my hp.. it was none other than from nicholas... hahaha... i thank God so much and called him back... he told me that he bought me a shirt from australia and asked me to go his house if i were free this afternoon... of course i am... even if i wasnt, he wouldnt be in singapore this christmas.. to see him last time is a must... hahaa.. so i went there as soon as i was ready... it was a great time over at his house... unfortunately, i had a gathering with St Anne's teachers at one of their houses... so i had to leave at about 2pm when i suppose to meet the teachers at 12 noon... h...

today is the first day of the youth camp... and i'm still at home!! hahaha... ya... i'm on my way to the camp at Aloha Changi... so, i'll be away for 4 days... i hope that i can experience God's presence and to hear His voice... also to bond with the not-so-close youths... go go go!!

church was great today... i went to help in the kids' pre-christmas celebration and they were doing some art and craft thingee... well, i really had lots of fun... Keith and Kester are finally back... miss them so much... and Gawain gave me a very lovely and beautiful card... i really am touched and happy!! the envelope the cover page a picture of Gawain and I the "inside" of the card Thanks boy... i love it and really appreciate it! love ya!!

Saturday 16/12/06 Andre asked if i was free because Joyce invited us to a concert played by her church... i was a little reluctant but agreed in the end... well, i had dinner with them, cracked some cold and not so cold jokes, talked some personal stuff.... anyway, i thought the sermon was great... it was talking about "Alien Love"... basically, human have 3 types of love... namely: I love you BECAUSE ... I love you WHEN ... I love you IF ... however, God is different... we all know that God loved us first and God love us unconditionally... and so, God is.. I love you DESPITE... and i learnt so so much from the sermon... i really enjoyed it... ...I love You BECAUSE You loved me first and you died for me...
