Thanksgiving!

A big shout out to God, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

For so many things. The top of the mind thanksgiving is of course, for the end of the exams. It is the THE end of exams. It's like saying a huge farewell to an old companion whom sadly, I am very glad to say goodbye to.

Strategy exam has been surprisingly, a breeze to sit through. All thanks to a fellow project mate who so kindly emailed us a past year paper and shockingly, I went to do the paper. And to my delight, half of the true false questions and some of the MCQ questions came up in the final paper. Anyway, whatever it is, I am so grateful.

As for Malay, I seriously think it's the easiest paper ever in SMU because, the professor gave us the exact same paper he gave us for our exam practice. And I went to do it (which is very unlike me.) So it was just an exam where I just had to copy my answers unto the actual exam paper itself (the exam is open notes and OPEN LAPTOP, we can use online dictionary). When I left the exam hall, it just felt surreal to acknowledge the fact that there is no more mugging ever to be done, no more calculations and no more essays to be written. Its as if, I am closing an invisible door to my student life.

HAHA, oh well, what a good ending to all my exams in my formal education. If only I had it so easy during A and O levels.

Another exciting mini event that's happening. I am (for the first time), leading worship during cell group this Sunday. A new experience which I thank God for. Its the first step in serving in church. Ok, its no doubt, a tiny one, but a journey takes a single step no matter how small it is. If there is an area in church where I want to serve in, it's definitely worship and Sunday school (cause of the cute little ones). And I got Aaron as my guitarist. So I pray that it's gonna be an anointed time of worship with my new cg friends.

The songs I chose...

1. HERE I AM TO WORSHIP

Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness.
Opened my eyes, let me see.
Beauty that made this heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You

Here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy,
Altogether wonderful to me

King of all days
oh, so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came To the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor

Here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy,
Altogether wonderful to me

I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross

2. I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever (one of my fave worship song during JC 2 days)

Over the mountains and the sea,
Your river runs with love for me,
and I will open up my heart and let the Healer set me free.
I'm happy to be in the truth, and I will daily lift my hands:
for I will always sing of when Your love came down. [Yeah!]

I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever.

Oh, I feel like dancing -it's foolishness I know;but,
when the world has seen the light,they will dance with joy,like we're dancing now.


3. What Can I do

When I see the beauty
Of the sunset’s glory
Amazing artistry
Across the evening sky
When I feel the mystery
Of a distant galaxy
It awes and humbles me
To be loved by a God so high


What can I do but thank you
What can I do but give
My life to you
Hallelujah, hallelujah
What can I do but praise you
Every day make everything I do
A hallelujah, a hallelujah
Hallelujah

When I hear the story
Of a God of mercy
Who shared humanity
And suffered by our side
Of the cross they nailed you to
That could not hold you
Now you’re making all things new
By the power of your risen life


God, Thank you for what you have done and for the countless showers of blessings. You have indeed made all things new and lovely. It is an opportunity to serve in Cg and I pray that you have great plans for me to serve your kingdom. Take away the spirit of timidity and replace it with one of courage, to take a bold step in serving with a joyful heart. Amen.
