Hey all! Yeh as i said, 2 exams down! yay!! I got english and history now. hhee. I thank the Lord for being a God who walks with us no matter what we face; when we are down, and when we are happy. He is truly an amazing God that shows unconditional love and mercy. Remember he is always beside you at all times, so you're not living life alone, but with the creator of the universe; who is greater than our God? ANyway i gonna revise for my exams! ^^ Bye everyone

Prayer
Hi peeps! 2 exams gone already! yay! Math and commerce... The commerce was kinda easy, and the maths was kinda hard! its my worst subject! lol! i know, azn= good at math, crap at english etc.... I used to get A+ for math in year 7 lol.. now i get b's.... anyways i better get to the topic
At alpha yesterday, we were talking about prayer, well its kinda same as my blog 2 days ago; Wait, No, Yes. We discussed the outcomes of prayer, and I learnt some stuff lol. U can never know everything, so come to alpha and learn some more! yay! It may seem that Alpha is for new christians, but u can pick up heaps of important and helpful stuff from it.
When u pray, God can answer differently. He may say yes, meaning yes right away, later, meaning yes, but not yet, and no, meaning no. As i said earlier, he does what is best for you, cause he has planned all your days already, and knows what will happen to you if certain things happen. Anyway, i got an example of when God says wait:
You pray to god to be good at maybe soccer? and then he says wait, simply cause u may not be able to handle that talent. Don't worry if god doesn't always give u what u think is good, cause he knows best. Trust that he does make the best choices for you and will never disgrace you. God is great! THe outcomes of God's choices are always positive, maybe not immediately, but ultimately. Bye everyone!

yes, no,, later
Hey loyal blog readers! :)
I know that many of you may be discouraged when things don't exactly go how you want them to. You might ask God for something, but don't get it, or you may. But anyway, if things are not going your way, they are going God's way (which is good). I'll give u an example which I am currently experiencing:
I asked God to heal me from my annoying severe cold (a flu?) which I caught on tuesday cause i went to soccer training, and was already not too well then. I was worried cause my important exams are tomorrow, and if i were to be ill, my mind doesn't think properly, and i would do badly on them. I was not healed until just a few moments ago. I stayed home today cause I was ill, and it allowed me to revise further for my exams, and allowed me to sleep in and rest. See? the outcome was good, even though I prayed for healing, I didn't recieve it immediately, which was worrying me, but God's timing is perfect. Now i am fine to do my exams! Praise God!
Yes, no, later; don't be discouraged if things don't go your way, cause God is over control of your life, and believe me, he manages your life the best! God is great!! He always listens to your prayers, and does what is best for you.
Bye everyone! I gotta revise for my math exam! ^^

Exams!
Now i can honestly say, this is one of my few exams i am looking forward too! I am actually prepared for once! yay! I hope i do ok lol. :) Math and commerce exam tomorrow, english and history on monday. I suck at english lol. I cant get any better than a B... lol. commerce is the best subject! It is one of the few subjects that u can relate to your daily life. eg, sif u need to know all this linear graph crap in ur daily life lol, or u need to know about plant reproduction?? u now notice the kind of stuff u learn at school? lol i think few of it has any relevance to our lives. commerce pwns! Anyway, better get back to revision and stop being proud lol. God hates pride as you know.

Hi peeps! U might have noticed, but this time yesterday, I was feeling pretty worried, cause I had a major Indonesian Oral exam which I had quite forgotten about, so didn't get much revision done. I got out of it as I hoped to. Luckily, I was not chosen to do my speech today, but rather tomorrow! Praise God for saving me once again! lol i get into so many tight situations..... I gotta revise now cause I got it tomorow lol. Oh and its exam week! I nearly forgot; I was gonna quit Facebook and Msn. So yeh, stuff u FB!

Soccer!
Soccer is fun! I played indoor today after church lol.. I am really unco when i not warmed up, and takes 1 hour to do so lol. Yeh thats annoying. I kept on stuffing up at first, then I had a few shots when I was warmed up. My first goal, I was in the square, then I kicked it into the keeper, then kicked the rebound again; it went in. my second goal, I was kinda open goal, then bam into Kevin, and slipped past. I had at least 5 goal opportunities, only able to make 2 of them successful. lol .... I got exams tomorrow! how annoying! anyway, bye all!

Yay sunday!
I like weekends and fridays! i actually dun hav to be bored with school all the time lol. today as usual, i did kids ministry, and I was encouraged to pull myself together. I do not do my job for fun, nor do I treat it lightly anymore. In the past, I must admit I kinda slacked off and din really serve Christ as I should. Now i am gonna do my best to talk more to the kids and get to know them better.
The sermon today was pretty funny; Chris and Rodger preaching, and Rodger constantly getting bagged about his obsession with food, which obviously shows up physically. lol! But they were speaking about how they couldn't stand each other; they were so different and found each other just plain annoying. I must say that some people did irritate me in the past, but no longer do I choose to get irritated, but rather to show agape love (if thats how u spell it lol) towards them, just liek God has shown to me. Remember, God loves us unconditionally, no matter how much we sin or the things we do, and we should treat others in that same way too.
Love for who they are, not what they have done. Cause i am sure we also stuff up a fair bit, just remember that.
I gotta revise for exams! yay! then indoor soccer later lol. Bye !

Idols
Oh and i forgot about Fungus yesterday! Good job Qynn, we actually learn stuff relevant to our lives at Fungus! lol.. We learnt about idols in our lives. Do we love anything more than God? Honestly? I must shamefully admit, at times, I have not put God first in my life... yes i think we all know... FACEBOOK! LOL stuff U!! Ok i actually gonna do something about it lol. Well you see, I go on my comp till like 10 (not that late for u guys), then i shower, then i read papers, then i muck around, then its already 11.30!! I am pretty tired at that time, and my 'quiet time' with god is affected, cause i sleepy. This is what i am gonna do: I will try my best to shower before I facebook, maybe 6 pm? Then i will finish computer at 9.30 instead, which means i should be in bed at like 10, about 1.5 hours earlier. There is nothing wrong with making mistakes; just learn from them and do something to prevent you from making them.
Oh and i did the 'addict' quizzes at fungus lol. It says i am a normal computer user, and a work-a-holic?!?!?!? whats this lol. I actually dun like doing work much! and i am certainly not a normal computer user! lol I would consider myself to be a 'hardcore' computer nerd; which i will do something aabout! :)
anyway, i gonna go now. bye!

Hi :)
Hi! i din get to go on comp on thurs night or yesterday due to busy schedule! lol leme summarise the last 2 days
thursday 22nd:
School as usual, then teachers meeting at night! lol.. i forgot about it, and left my homework to that day, which i din get to do cause the teachers meeting went over time by 1.5 hours! lol twice as long as it was meant to! But i dun regret going, cause we were lucky enough to hear an awesome message from Rodger aka adult who drinks bubble tea! lmao!!! But yeh, it was a awesome meeting, and I noticed many things I had never known, and was really encouraged to run this race for god. I came back at 11.30 pm... lol. No time to do hw, cause i not allowed to go on computer after 10 pm. I was late for school the next day btw! :)
Friday 23rd;
Well as i mentioned, i was late for school, cause i slept way later than i normally did. God revealed his power and love to me once again. This is how it goes:
I was 3 hours late for school... hmm a little late? I managed to walk into school remaining un- noticed and didn't get in trouble. phew! I actually had 2 fairly large projects due that day aswell which i was unable to do cause of late finishing teachers meeting. I somehow knew that God was going to pull me out of my troubles, and that everything was going to go fine. I put all my trust in him, and it would be foolish to doubt, as nothing is impossible for him.
Well i think you know what the outcome was of course; all my problems were no longer problems! I actually was totally gged cause so many things going wrong:
I went to school late
I din do my 2 massive projects
I was actually meant to go cycling after school, but i forgot my sports gear
What more could go wrong? K, this is how they went:
As i told u, i remained un-noticed as i came to school 3 hours late
My two projects, amazingly, one of them was extended till monday, and the other, the teacher wasn't there that day, and i casually slipped it under his door after school, which I did during the time I was meant to be cycling; which was canceled! Amazing eh??!
Its actually obvious that God's amazing grace saved me once more, and he is so real! ... I guess i should try to do my work before next time... lol. God deserves all the glory, and ii know i couldn't have done it alone. Praise God!
Oh ya, exams next week! shucks!
Today i got to miss soccer btw! I was kinda tired so praise god for that again! lol cya peeps!

This is my work formula:
Got time to facebook and msn every day? = relaxed!
Got no time for that? = hardcore work!

Today i had the maths tests! haha i thought i sucked at maths, and i was not looking forward to them! But to be honest, i knew most of them cept maybe 3? and i guess them anyway, and i realized that 2 of them that i guessed were acutally right! lol! post-nerdy discussions you see... :D I gotta do my essay that is so hard to concentrate!

Noobie Way
oh ic, i am blogging 3 times today! lol! Well i just realized that I happen to get the easy way out of things, and still achieve the grades. For english, we have to read books and review them; about 1 every 2 weeks! My tight schedule (playing bs) is simply unable to read so much. So i am smarter-not so smart child! I read Jeffrey Archer's Short Story books! Seems nerdy eh? Well yeh, I can't review every single story in the book, nor am I expected to, so I just review a small portion of it. Yes, that simply means i read maybe 10 pages when others have to read 300 and I still get the same marks in the end. So ya, that is noobie way number 1.
And also, i am doing a book in school, and i hav to give quotes from the text, and i get all of them from the Authors notes right at the start of the book! hahhahahaah!! It works! So i save myself lots of time, and still achieve the grades.
Lemme tell u this, it seems nearly impossible to fool the extremely experienced teachers at my hardcore nerdy school, especially my english teacher! He been at the school for like 25 years, and is the head of English! Yes, I pwned him! But i think it ok to do noobie style anyway, just a easier path to life! Cya alls

Supanerd!
All u nerd-wannabes, u know how to be smart and successful in life? There is a saying 'genius is 1% inspiration and 99% pespiration." This practically means that if you want to be smart, it mainly requires hard work and your knowledge has very little effect. This is quite true, cept the 99% is a little exaggerated i reckon. But anyway, if u wanna do well at school, a little conscientiousness may be helpful! ^^ Hav fun nerding all u peeps! Cya!

Apreciation
I am a freak blogger according to weirdlyn! hhaha yeh i am blogging for the 2nd time today. THere is the concept of apreciation; something I sometimes fail to display. I relise how blessed I really am having awesome parents who look after me so well, and all my friends who care for me and make me smile. I wanted to let you know that I appreciate you all. My life seems to be on the edge of survival; I am always somehow getting into problems I can't do anything about. Again, God's grace that has saved me countless times always spares me and pulls me out of my problems. It has been evident so often in my life, I seem to be forgetting how loving my God is. Do we sometimes take things for granted? Our friends? Our family? Or even soemtimes God? I really want to thank God for all he has done for me, and I really want to live a life for him alone. God is Great!
I gonna do homework now hommies. Bye!

NI hao !
Hi! I havnt blogged for 2 days! wahh! I have lots to blog about lol...
I had soccer training this morning before schhool! Haha I had to wake up like 6 am and play soccer in the cold :) It was fun, but i seem to be 'extra unco' in the mornings! lol!! I completely miss the ball when i try to kick! I enjoyed it though, it is worth waking up for i guess... I need to be less lazy!
One interesting thing I noticed about my school is tests; they always seem to stuff them up in some way. For example, I am sure you guys have exams, which your school takes really seriously. My school does aswell... except for the Indonesian teacher! During the massive end-of-year exam, she actually went to her office in another room when the exam was on, just to rest or something! bad idea! lol! Well duh, of course we opened our textbooks and cheated! Well us all cept for me and a few other good bois. Lmao! today, my science teacher gave this kid a test to do at home!! LOL! I dont think one can resist the temptation of boosting his marks by glancing at the answers even once?? hahaa thats kinda really random... I forgot what else I was gonna blog about... lol cya anyways!

School again :)
I din blog yesterday cause i had way too much hw! :( History Essay to do, viscom work, science project, science revision, indonesian work, indonesian revision!! Gah! Packed!! ANyway i finished all of it cept revising for my indo and science test and also my Viscom work (a detention was threatened if it was not done) I walked into school terribly worried and nervous cause nerds like me always do work! I am sure the teacher insisted it was meant to be due today, and so did everyone else. I din finish it and the teacher actually randomly extended the due date to tomorow!! yay! All my problems are no longer problems! Praise God for that! Its obvious he is doing something in my life and mysteriously brainwashing my teachers!
Oh and something really important you should know: MY MATH TEACHER CONSTANTLY MAKES APE NOISES DURING CLASS!! LLOLL!!!!!!! I think since she came to the school, the immense workload and pressure has caused her to become mentally ill! lol!
Oh and i want to summarise my highly ownage soccer match on Saturday. For the last 2 years at my school, I only scored 1 goal on the proper matches on Saturdays against other schools, and that was from a easy penalty. The first match for the whole season this year, our team completely nearly destroyed the opposition. Too bad we lost 2-0. We literally had about 13 really close goals which just missed by a small margin. I can explain the 2 goals we conceded: crappy defense! Well i had 2 shots at goal: one a flat out smash that just missed the top left corner, and one from the side which i slammed with full velocity into the goals, which was going to the top left corner, and the goalie bravely saved it! That was an awesome game! If I keep on playing at that level, I will probs score at least one goal this year! lol! I gonna battle stations now! Bye all!

Reaching out to the community
I managed to get up and go to church today after the awesome Eco Rally last night! :D Even though I was half asleep during the sermon (no, not because it was boring, cause i am tired! lol) , the message Chris gave really meant something to me; reaching out to the community and our friends. Yeh i must admit that swearing and the extreme horny people in my school really pisses me off bad. Well there is nothing wrong about being annoyed by sinful ways, but that is only one part of it. Ever thought about reaching out to them and sharing about the priceless gift of Christ? I now realize that I really should spread God's unconditional love to everyone, no matter who they are, and I also believe that people learn best by example of others.
Fungus has really changed my life completely, and is still constantly teaching me things about Christ, and most importantly, inspiring me to live for him in everything I do. To be real honest, people that teach you to live pure lives but don't themselves, it doesn't really make someone listen as much. The thing I love about Fungus is the leaders; they are so much of a inspiration to devote my life to God alone, and I can honestly say, it has done that in my life.
Now that we realize how blessed we are to have an amazing God, don't forget to share this gift to the people around us. They may bug us cause they bad things, but we were once like that before we accepted Christ, and by letting them know God personally, they may change their ways and live a life for God! So thats why we must share the gospel to those who really need it, even if it is not direct preaching, exposing God's love in your actions can really make them know that Christ is living in you.(everyone) I gonna do my mass amounts of homework i havnt been able to do recently cause Eco Rally, so cya everyone! God bless!

ECO RALLY!! WOOHOOO!
For those of you who came to the Fungus Eco Rally, you would have had a great time there. I really thank God for his helping hand that really walked with us all through the whole preparation of the event. Unlike most rallies, we only got to the actual venue on the day, and were fully packed with so many things to get done, and so little time! We were falling about 3 hours behind schedule, and it was only about an hour before everyone was going to come; totally unprepared! As a youth group, we sat down and really lifted the whole rally to God, giving him our all, and amazingly if you noticed, it ran smoothly and was thoroughly successful! Praise God for that!
I am so tired but satisfied! Just to let you know, i also had school soccer in the morning from like 9 am to 1 pm, and was already pretty worn out and tired already! I was full of energy during the rally though, and after, we stayed back and packed up and also played soccer!! Hehee... That was fun, but I kinda regret playing, cause after that, i was so tired I could barely stand up! hahaa.. Cya all! Hope u hav a fun and blessed week!

Take a Step of Faith
Sometimes all it takes is a little faith for God to do amazing things! The Fungus Eco Rally is coming up real quick. Maybe u scared to invite some people who u think might snap back at you if u ask them, but i'm sure if u take the step of faith and ask them, they might even happily come. Miracles don't happen just because they do, they need faith to work properly. Honestly I a bit scared to ask some people to come, but ya know what?, i gonna go out and invite as many people as I can! I hope to see a changing experience to those invited, who will hopefully come. Man i got a headache! lol i gonna sleep now! Cya all!

Here I am to Worship
Heya peeps! yay its friday already nearly lol! Yeh this awesome song 'Here I am to Worship' by Tim Hughes is a truly amazing worship song! The thing about it is the lyrics; so meaningful and powerful. Here i post it for u lol:

Oh so highly exalted Glorious in heaven above.
Humbly you came to the earth you created.
All for love's sake became poor.
[Chorus]
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.
And I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross.
No I'll never know how much it cost to se my sin upon that cross.
[Chorus]
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,
