I'm Falling On My Knees...

*Hungry, I come to You for I know You satisfy

I am empty but I know Your love does not run dry

So I wait for You, so I wait for You

I'm falling on my knees

Offering all of me.

Jesus, You're all this heart is living for

Broken I run to You for Your arms are open wide

I am weary but I know Your touch restores my life

So I wait for You, so I wait for You*

This song describes me to the point recently.

During worship today, I fell on my knees and balled my eyes out in front of my God.

Not sure why, I started confessing all of my sins and asking God to help me and cleanse me through & through. I felt so small before a mighty and powerful God.

Yet... the first words I heard from my mighty and powerful God were loving words "Do not give up on me just like I have never given up on you". It was there... I started crying like a broken tap. It's been a looooooooong while since I was broken, since I was not holding back, since I experienced Him at such expanse.

I know for sure at that moment, when I am broken & with a contrite heart before Him, He will be able to do a new work in me, He will be able to 'shape' me as to how He wants my heart to be, now that it is broken. A good friend once told me 'when life gets down hard on you until you are on your knees, that's the best position to start praying'. That phrase got stuck on my head. =)

It's true like the song 'Hungry (I'm falling on my knees)' when the lyrics say

"I am weary but I know Your touch restores my life..."

How can I do without You God, the lover of my soul?

I'm falling... in love.. all over again ..

and I wait for Him to do a deep and new work in me.

The pretty Priscilla beside me is Priscilla Gan... the really capable sister who organised this amazing event with her beau Andrew! =)

This is supposed to be Dorothy of Wizard of Oz.. not a witch ok.. Look carefully at her skirt, and see if you can spot anything unusual?

Luv this group shot... hehehe..

We had a series of jumping stunts ... here are just some pictures... hehehe... it's good to be jumpingfor the fun of it... Adults can jump too okayyyyyy! Lol..

Ok, the "don't know how to pose already but still wanna pose" shots... hahaha

Prior to the unit retreat, Chris & I met up with Wansheng for dinner (Joo chiat Char Kway Teow!!) & our long postponed durian feast.

The boys bonding and giving their grins as a sign of approval for the char kway teow.

As for the durians, well we read Ps. Jeff's blog recently about 'Cat Mountain King' durians and went exploring.. So.. this is the supposedly infamous 'Cat Mountain King' durians. Rumoured to be extremely creamy and once you taken this, you won't want other types of durians... and some internet ppl blogged that its from Pahang apparently.

I must say that the Cat Mountain Durians are pretty good. BUT.. there is a catch..

Although we finished the entire 3 durians ourselves except for the 'freebie'... it was kindof a "bittersweet" experience. Not just the taste of the durians that were bittersweet... I'll tell you why.
The durians were bitter sweet... but we paid a WHOPPING 200 BUCKAROOS for these spikey things as we were obviously doped by the seller.. (He was carrying his 'parang' of a knife when he told the boys who picked the durians that they can't back out after opening the durians to try.. - which was also at his suggestion that they open the durians to try...) Oh well.
After this.. we had our fill with durians.. but we all left our arms and legs behind at the durian stall and had to crawl back to our car to get home. When we left the crime scene, apparently.. other victims were eagerly taking their seats at the table, awaiting for their arms and legs to be chopped off too. No wonder they say after you eat Cat Mountain King (literal translation from it's mandarin name) durians.. u won't eat other types of durians.. firstly no more $$ to eat other types and after being amputated of your hands and legs... u can't eat any other types anymore. Hahaha..lesson learnt.. bring yourmothers who does regular marketing to buy durians.. We are pretty sure that they will be the ones 'amputating' the durian sellers and still be able to walk away with more than they bargained for. *MEOWWW*

The Nerd & His Treasure

I read Germs' blog entry few days back about her recent encounter on nose nuggets.

TODAY, I am gonna blog my own personal encounter too. Speak about coincidence!!!

After work, I decided I will make a mini trip down to Vivo City to get some stuff and also buy the Kolo mee for my parents to try since I am going back to visit my parents tonight. So I boarded a bus from my work place and I was happy to note that the bus was relatively empty. Yay!! I get to sit mostly wherever I want. So I sat near to the exit and sat on the aisle seat of the bus.

Few stops later, while I was fiddling with my ipod... a nerd came on the bus and when there are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO many seats he could choose from, he chose to sit next to me and squeeze in to the window... HELLO???!!!! I repeat .. SOOOOOOOOOOOO (count the 'Os' can!!) many seats, he sat next to me. Aku tak tawu man ...

Don't be mistaken, usually I won't bother who sits next to me that much. BUT when he started to use his finger and dig for 'gold' in a disgusting fashion where the jaw is open and he is digging as though the booger is stuck up near the brains and like its legal and oh-so-cool... urgggghhhh... I could feel my tongue foaming.

As I am typing this my insides are churning just recollecting the scene earlier... bleah...
So after what seem like eternity, Mr. Nerd finally nail that booger (literally...hahahaha) and got it out. If you think my ordeal was over, think again. To my bewilderment, he started twiddling his booger in between his fingers as though he is trying to feel or decipher the texture of it. ARGHHHHHHHHH...... *help*

At this time I decided I should really change to another seat in case he flicks his booger and it landed on me. *SHUDDER* Just when I was contemplating to do so (cos I am about to alight already), the nerd went for another treasure hunt and this time in less time than the first, he got his treasure, added onto his previous collection and started twiddling BOTH boogers in his finger. *SHUDDER*SHUDDER*

At this point, I reached my stop and I reached out for the handle bar that was near the exit to tap my EX link card. Suddenly... I was being paranoid and thought to myself that perhaps another treasure hunter had committed the same act and smeared it onto the pole. *Puke*

For those of you out there who wanna nail ur booger, PLSPLSPLSPLSPLS.... use a tissue or at least do it discreetly and just throw the darn thing away ... NOT flick it away but onto a tissue and dispose the tissue. PLS DON'T FONDLE IT AS THOUGH IT IS REALLY GOLD!!!!
