A great big thank you to everyone who tried to make this birthday a really sweet one!
I received a lot today, not only in gifts, but also emotionally. =)
This birthday really taught me something. And I want to make this year a new beginning. Which is part of the reason why I changed my blog url.
And I realised that I couldn't relink because I just changed the url of my current blog, and it is impossible to create a new blog with "fireperfectme-.blogspot.com" because blogger no longer allows the dash at the back.
So sorry to all those who would have to make an effort in order to find my blog, but it's on my msn, so not to worry. =)
This was a great birthday. The best I've had in years, no, it's the best. =)
Because of the people celebrating. And I've not received ALL my presents. There're more to come. =)
I got my Mango Mousse! =)
YAYNESS!

But now I'm replenished.
Through lightning, storms, raging seas.
Whatever that may come my way,

Even when the mountains tremble
And a thousand fall
I will stand with You
The mountains in my life are shaking so, threatening to fall, to collapse. So many people in my life are falling away. The volcanoes mock at me, threatening to erupt so that I would be smothered by the lava. I'm broken, to the very bits.
But the last line is true. I will stand with You.

I guessed a trio relationship wouldn't work. But I wanted to try.
And who gets hurt?
I tried so hard, but it could not be done.
I'm just so disappointed right now. Disappointment beyond belief.
I wanted so hard for this year to be the best yet, but up to now, it's been a great disappointment.
Three's a crowd, is it?
But I will still believe in the saying, "Bad beginnings, good ending." I will still trust in You.

Sometimes we just want to be the weakest in the group, to be the smallest.
Just because. Just because it means that when we err, we don't lose face. Just because it MAY give us space to err.
But don't you want to grow? Don't you want the satisfaction you will get when you've finished the job without mistakes? It doesn't mean that when you're the youngest or whatsoever, you become relaxed, because you can make mistakes. It means you have to be even more vigilant, to be better than the rest. This world is competitive. If you just maintain and don't improve, then there will definitely be someone who will overcome you someday. Just wait for it.
I believe that being the smallest, least experienced means that you have to, all the more, improve, be more diligent, because you are inexperience, so go gain that experience you need to catch up with the others. All the more it gives you no reason to slack.
Yet, sometimes, we want to be the best, the strongest.
But we forget there is Someone whose weakest weaknesses are stronger than our strengths. Furthermore, if we can't improve, if there is no reason to keep on moving up, then what's the point of always staying on top? I'd say it's time to move on to another group where you aren't the best.
In order to grow, the papaya tree has vines around it, strangling it. But it helps it to grow. When someone once felt pity for the plant and cut the vines, it could not grow. You see the connection?
You have to let yourself go through tough times in order to improve and keep on growing, strengthening your strengths and weaknesses.

I fell down today.
Tripped over the Malay traditional clothes I was wearing. It was too long. =(
But it reminded me of something.
In life, many times we trip, fall, stumble.
I stumble over my carpet a lot.
It's one thing to fall, but it's another thing to stand up by yourself again.
Many a time, we fall not because we trip over something, but because we rush ourselves too much. Before we started walking, we first crawled. Do not expect yourself to be able to run right after you're born. Learn to crawl first. Learn the basics of basics. Sometimes, we cloud ourselves with dreams that we don't need the basics. But we do.
What happens when we fall too big? Humans are designed to err. But sometimes we do not get back on our feet quick enough, and others overtake us. When we fell trying to walk, our parents would be there to push us forward, to encourage us. But that's human strength. I know I was designed to lean not on human power, but on supernatural strength, because humans cannot create miracles, but supernatural power can.
My fall resulted in a cut across my pinkie's joint. Pretty painful, but it could be worse.
It taught me something, and that's enough.

Healing.
Doctors.
Medicine.
Knowledge.
Education.
Who gave these to the world? Surely not Man.
Man is too imperfect to do these things.
Sure, by determination, scientists can discover many new things, but ultimately, it is because they believed in a greater cause. They had faith.
Only One can give people these.
Only One can decide what to do with people.
The Creator made us.
If we make something, I believe we then, unofficially made official, own the item. If so, do we then not belong to our Creator? Yes, the Big Bang created the solar system, but how did the Big Bang come about? Nature is not so accurate. If something missed by a little bit, the smallest number you can ever get, not just one or two, then the universe would not have been born. We would not be here today. Am I then right to say that there is then an Intelligence behind this whole thing? If the Creator can create us, He can also take our life, He has the right to decide our life span.
To heal or not to heal?
To heal without medicine? Is it impossible? Why not? When we get mild cold, sometimes we do not need medicine. Our body heals on it's own. Is it not then the same thing that happened 200 years ago? Healing without medicine. Only that the Someone who healed without medicine quickened the process. It is not impossible.
Doctors. Surgeons.
Healing. Medication. Surgery.
Who gave the knowledge for these things?
Imperfect Man cannot create knowledge like this.
Someone gave the knowledge selflessly.
Can we create something out of nothing? No we can't. And what are we called? Man.
Then is there something who can create something out of nothing? Yes. What is he called? God.
As of 2005, about 14% of the world's population are non-religious.
Interesting? Yes? No?
I'll leave you to think about it.

Do you know how much you've hurt someone by doing that? One small insensitive action undermined another's authority, embarrassed another, humiliated another.
How much can one person take? This world is so full of troubles that we simply can't accept it all. The human body and soul is unable to take it. That's why we need salvation. That's why we can't depend on our own mortal needs and abilities. Humans are too imperfect to rescue another, to permanently solve another's problem. Sure, problems may be solved, but no matter how fool-proof you think it is, it's still imperfect.
It's through the people, not the methods.

Just wondering about NPCC.
3 years ago:
Just joined NPCC. Scared, shy, yet so enthu about NPCC.
2 years ago:
Less shy, more enthu. Excited always.
Willing to do anything for NPCC.
Last year:
POP '07. Took over.
Tough but I pulled through.
This year:
Right before exams: Wondering why there's still NPCC.
During exams: Wondering why isn't there NPCC.
After exams: When am I going to pass out in order to concentrate on studies?
Now:
Missing NPCC.
NPCC, after 4 wonderful years, have become an integral part of my life. All the fun, sadness, excitement. Never say NPCC is all strictness and no fun. Experience it for yourself before you say anything. All those planning for camps, ATC, ROD, Unit camp... So quickly, 4 years flashed past. In no more than 4 months, I'd no longer be a part of this school. Remembering my indignation when I first came, I just smile at my childishness. Crescent NPCC has made me mature, allowed me to know friends I'd otherwise never have.
Thank you, NPCC, I miss you.

Our actions are just so powerful.
Let's say you're sad, then try to clap enthusiastically to yourself.
Get another friend who's also sad, then start laughing at each other.
See what happens?
You instantly become more energetic and happy.
Our mind is just so powerful.
2 people with the same amount of talent, in the same situation. 1 person thinks, "Yes, I can get through this, somehow, I know I can do it. It may be difficult, but it is possible." The other person wonders, "Oh no, this is just too difficult for me, how on earth can I achieve it? It's impossible." Guess who, in the end, succeeds? No prizes for the correct answer. :P
What you think can have a positive or negative impact on you.
To all O levelers out there who's reading this, it's the last lap, guys.
Barely 3 more months before everything starts. What do you think?
Can you make it? Will you do your best?
I don't believe that getting the highest in class means it's the person's best. It just means that the person needs to find another place, where there is a challenge for him/her. It doesn't make sense to always stay the best, not improving. Maintaining is not enough, I believe. Water may flow downwards, but people will always strive further up.
Yet, however powerful our minds/actions are, the omnipotent Creator is the most powerful. To be able to create something out of nothing, how many of us can do that? I can't.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEARLLYN!
4 years I've known you, you haven't really changed much. Still the same girl I knew 4 years back, always so encouraging, knowing... You rose up to every challenge bravely. We first met in NPCC. Now today, our NPCC connection may be broken, but our squadmate bond and friendship will stand strong. You've been a great friend, stay that way. =) Won't you let this year be your best year yet?

Are you for or against the death penalty?
I'm against.
Sure, if the person has done something so immoral as to murder, then he should pay for his deeds. But what if the person is really sorry about it? Even if the murderer is killed/hanged, the dead will not come back to life. He will not be revived just because his murderer is killed. Ultimately, it's not about the punishment, is it? It's about someone knowing his/her mistake and turning over a new leaf.
Youngsters who go against the law are sent to a rehabitation center, to think about their mistakes and know that what they are doing is wrong. Don't we have the "Second Chance" thing for ex-criminals too?
Also, if the criminal is to be sent to death sentence because he took another's life, then who gives the jury the right to decide if the criminal lives or dies? Is he not then guilty of the same crime? Justice does not give you this right. Tradition does not give you this right. Morals do no give you this right. However much law does, the law is man-made. Things made by imperfect people can never be perfect.
What more, happens to the executioner? Is he guilty of depriving another of his life? Yes, he's doing his job, yes, but isn't against morals to decapitate another?
I mean, I'm sure there's a reason why some countries are against the death penalty, right?
Sure, on the other hand, there are more points too, but ultimately, it is your beliefs that guide you to follow whichever side you follow.

I've been doing a bit of blog hopping and realized how people can get hurt so easily. The internet, blogs are full of people lashing out on others through their blog...
The time when I once did that is long past. I never mentioned names though. Even when I read back when I wrote last time about someone else, venting my hatred for them on the blog, I just can't seem to remember what they actually did, and who they were. Just too vague. But, that isn't the point.
This modern society is full of imperfect people. Some people can be so selfish, never willing to give in to others, while some others just don't want to create trouble, quietly listening to everything, obeying others. Maybe it's time to take a stand, stand up for yourself. Don't bury all your sufferings into your heart. It'll just hurt more.
I think back on a year back, how I was so easily hurt by others at that point of time. How others could so easily injure me, even though I didn't really show on the outside. My heart inside was so fragile, shattered, broken. But I got healed. My broken heart was pieces back. Every tiny little fragment of my shattered heart was put back together, healed, renewed, by the blood of Jesus.
Some people claim to have faith, claim to be very spiritual, but yet, only during service, religious meetings are they on fire, yet, it's only once a week. For them, the rest of the week, they are like someone without a religion, they don't do anything related to church or whatsoever during the week. What's the point?
Some people have been hurt so many times that they just close up their heart to others, never letting anyone into their lives again, in fear of getting hurt once more. They just can't take it anymore.
So, next time, think before you do anything to hurt anyone. You might cause her to close up to others. the world doesn't revolve around just one person.

Service yesterday was awesome.
Past. Mike Connell was awesome. Such power. Such strength. Such anointing. I'm amazed. Not exactly a deliverance service but yet so many got delivered.
I saw Your power.
I witnessed it once again.
Power like never before.

Aren't the lyrics wonderful?
Been wondering about life, about nature.
How the Creator has so carefully and detailedly planned out everything. All the enzymes in the body, what happens when we eat... All these were planned out carefully. Do you think nature alone could have allowed these to happen? Definitely not.
You want the answer? The evidence? Read Lee Strobel's "The Case for Faith". It's super good.
Did you know?
There is this enzyme that binds everything in our body together, without it, we won't be formed as a human. What is the shape of this wonderful enzyme? It's in a shape of a cross.
wondrous. God lets us know that our sins are paid.
How was life created?
