"Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed." Mark 1:35
"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing but the body is weak." Matthew 26:41
"The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray." 1 Peter 4:7
"But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." Matthew 6:6
The conclusion i've came to: Convicted, i've decided to dedicate the first tenth of my day to praying to God and having fellowship with Him; and i have decided to commit to that.
Today was awesome. Service was great. Pastor Medfielder, the one from '07 camp and '07 Xmas bash, preached at our church today! He added quite a bit of humour to it. My understanding of John 15:7 was elevated; never did i think of it in such a way. Pastor M. actually linked it to doing God's will; because we trust in, submit to and love God. When we do God's will, anything we pray for will come to pass (as mentioned in John 15:7).
Anyway, i'm sorry 4D1ners that i could not attend the steamboat-outing. I promise to catch up with you guys real soon ya? (Hopefully the next outing will not be on a sat)
G.O coming down to my house tomorrow for Sushi making! Intriguing indeed.
Anyway, i've decided to only blog on saturdays; which is probably the only day which i would have enough energy to blog. Time too.
Love,
Kai Siang.
p.s: SHOCKING NEWS! I might consider joining the student council; most probably will!

Masterlife - Mastering life with Christ.
"For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him." 2 Chronicles 16:9
Amid the tinge of lingering nostalgia, leaking slowly but fading, from the distant past, is an overwhelming, potentially stressful too, sensate of unfamiliarity. Streaming through the flocks of white and blue, which I myself am one too, I find it still very difficult to get acquainted with the new polish environment and the faces; and a rather cosmopolitan one as compared to my maiden school.
Honestly, I never really thought that i would, thus the awkward unpreparedness, be appointed into this school by Him. Surely, I thought, it was a dream, I hoped, but I didn't seem to be waking up from it.
It's true. Anglo-Chinese Junior College, a rather prestigious school known for it's aptitude in rugby, is now the school i am enrolled in; though very reluctantly initially.
On the bright side, i've made some really cool friends, ones that I can relate to in various ways, in ACJC. It's invariably awkward at the start, with all the occasional reticence, but some nicknames we gave each other helped break the ice.
Not forgetting to thank God for blessing me with friends that I've made in Clementi Town Secondary School, I really am spurred to cite this out for all of you: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
Anyway, maybe it isn't that bad after all? If i've really gotten into National Junior College via appealing, i would not have been able to take up for H2s for my Advanced levels examinations; and yes they require an L1R5 of four points, raw, for that.
My days are very structured; or have been structured in such a way recently. Everyday after school it's just like this:
1.Lunch
2.Nap
3.Masterlife
4.Read the Newspaper
5.Revision of my school work
I've also joined this rather interesting competition with Alex, Su Fan, Xing Jie, Grace, Joshua and Eugene. It's about youths standing for a cause and ours has something to do with encouraging people not to have P.M.S. (that's Pre-Marital Sex)
That's all for the first post of my new blog. I hope that people are able to find my new blog.
Love,
Kai Siang.
