if you guys happen to read this, just wanna say

I’M MISSING YOU ALL BIG TIME!!

the art of writing cards

1. be sincere- mean what you write and write what you mean. the words will flow

2. be real- don’t purposely say things for the sake of sounding ‘nice’, or use common pretty phrases to make the reader feel good. the reader wants to know you’re not ‘mass producing’ the cards!!

3. be specific- if the person who reads my card is someone close to me, i’d know the little things about this person’s life, character traits, victories etc.. and then mention it. it makes the reader feel noticed !

4. write the date. sometimes people write to me and sign off without the date… (okay if you think that’s bad enough, some have no names =( i dont know who wrote the card!) when i recall… i like it how that i remb what happened during the period of time and how the card came about

5. you don’t need to hit an entire page of words, you just need to genuinely want to encourage the recipient of your card. even a line with 10 words, 10 words that comes from the bottom of your heart.. can make a difference.

anyways! not pointing out anyone here or saying that people write bad cards to me. was just rummaging through my box of cards i’ve received over the years. and i am determined to be a sincere and genuine encouragement card writer because i know how much it can brighten up someone’s day, or impart some strength to that person, or even just, lift that person up abit and make him/her feel appreciated (:

My story, Your grace

that was what i named my testimony when i shared in camp.

it’s the story that God and i share. a process, a relationship, a story that no one can steal away from me. God stuck with me through all that crap. He showed me what is grace and unconditional love. the road to breakthrough was reeaaaalllyyy tough, but that was where i found God’s strength and His second chances. that was when i began to know God more and more. that was when God isn’t just God anymore, but my personal friend. someone with whom i share many many intimate moments with.

even now, i know there are many things that i go through in life, many struggles, many joys and sorrows, that probably only God and i know and understand fully what they’re about.

that’s why i truly call this a personal relationship. you know… those moments when i sit by my bed in silence and i know God is there beside me, taking in that silent moment with me too. those moments when i feel like words fail me and i can’t express myself to anyone at all, and i just go before God and i am fully assured He understands. those moments when i’m afraid to let anyone know my innermost thoughts, my all-over-the-place emotions, my little nonsensical secrets (to the point that i suspect sometimes God laughs at the ultra silly secrets, and He might be thinking i’m a little weird…)… and God is simply there to share them with me. in Him is when i can be absolutely my vulnerable self.

so… would you like to share your life with God too?

i so wanna know God more!

new life..

i signed up for FOC not knowing what i’m getting myself into. now that the ogls have sent me the email and they tell me my group is called harry potter, i suddenly feel really lame. but okay, for the sake of making friends and making my uni life more enjoyable. because i totally need to learn to enjoy school. lol. BUT THE PACKING LIST REALLY SUCKS?! why got matchmaking session one. why got swimming included. why why why….

started DPP today. very very very beginner class. we started with contemp and ballet. and i’d say the whole session is rather humbling. i had to teach myself to be patient, to help my other mates along because they’re new to the genre, and i certainly felt like a million bucks when i encouraged a friend and she appeared to be very appreciative of it (: anyway, it’s back to basics. so i have time to correct my 4 years of incorrect techniques (well, SOME..).

as i was observing the lesson, the thought of building up young christian dancers suddenly came to mind. nurturing beautiful, godly young women and training excellent godly young men.. not to grow up as how the world would have its dancers. i have some ideas about that but i won’t share it here. i’ll tell you if you’re my friend. haha kidding.

next post, unstoppable camp (:
