Its christmas week!
its Jesus' birthday.
I finally got myself water baptized on christmas day.
the old has gone and the new has come.

still reeling from the effects of the festive season.
However, as we get lost in the feasting and exchanging of
presents, we musn't forget the reason for the season-Jesus.

Just a sidenote.
i realise a lot of smart and rich people around me are
christians.
smart as in people who study in prestigious schools
like Raffles
Rich as in people who live in landed or condo.
one thing just dawned on me.
even the SMART and RICH people need God.
i mean they are already self-sufficient- having all the brains
and money in the world.
why would these people bother to turn to God and
sacrificing every sunday of the year to attend church.
not because they are bonkers.
but because all of us need God.

I rest my case.

Pastor Joseph Prince's sermons are very empowering.
so it boils down to one thing.
condemnation kills.
God never meant to condemn us, AT ALL.
ever since Christ died on the cross, the work IS finished.
He has bore all our sins and iniquities.


God also didnt mean to let us fall sick.
The reason why we're falling sick is becos we FEEL
we dont deserve the healing.
becos we're guilty.
becos we thought that healing comes only by our
performance.
BUT THE THING IS,
we DONT HAVE to DO ANYTHING to deserve
the healing.
God meant well for us to be complete and whole.

oh my gosh.
thankfully not many ppl come by this blog anymore.
i need to rant, LIKE NOW.

For safety's sake, i will not explicitly state certain terms

sometimes,i SERIOUSLLYYYY wonder why people
would believe in other R.
Why would ppl believe in something thats made out of nowhere?
wouldnt people want a genuine relationship with R?
it's GRACE that christmas existed for a reason.
GRACE means who Jesus is and what He has done
for us.
Grace need not be worked towards and is freely given.
am extremely thankful for it.

On the other hand, why would other R require ppl to DO
SOMETHING FOR THEM?
be it the burning offerings or anything for the sort.
the thing is,
people HAVE to DO SOMETHING to earn their respect?
which...............................is totally ridiculous isn't it?

& here i've unsaved friends who totally witnessed the
miraculous doings of what my great God has done........
cold hard facts right before their eyes.......
but still refusing to believe in it.
Christmas is all about Jesus, my friends.

Before i hit the sacks,
i figured i should really blog about today.
Today started off just as any other normal days.
wake up and prep for school.
after my finance mtg,
i went to meet tong to go down to QQrice
to do on-site observations.

when we were there, we were like dubious characters
stationing ourselves outside the outlet and then
pranced on the customers who just finished their purchase.
thick-skinned of us indeed :)
got snubbed by many.
wells, not exactly surprised since singaporeans
are just too busy with their own lives.
well, not a very "PRODUCTIVE" session or so we thought
*shrugs*

then tong and i decided to go in to try the rice balls.
a lady sat down next to us and we were feeling quite
apprehensive about approaching her to "chat".
suddenly the lady was just about to set off and
she turned to me to excuse me so that she could
take a picture of the board that was next to me.
I immediately shot tong the "TALK TO HER TALK TO
HER" look, and tong spoke up.

we had a really really really nice conversation with
the lady.

God saved the best for the last :')
a productive session in disguise.

God,help me in my exams!

OH MY GOSH.
IM SICK OF PUTTING PRESSURE UPON MYSELF.
Im sick and tired of wanting to do well.

"I've surrendered that to God. I'm not in a battle with what everybody else thinks anymore,"
Jeremy Lin

i need to get that quote SINK.INTO.ME

frankly speaking, 
all the drive and motivation of wanting to do well
is coming from peer pressure.
i thought through and asked myself what the sole purpose behind 
all these that I am doing.
it's all for fame and getting the acknowledgement
from people.

I'm DONE with all these shitty mindsets.
it's sheer stupidity, Jasmin Leng.

Wow

blogger has a totally new user interface now.
hmm not really bothered to explore since i'm only doing
simple blogging.
oh wells.
so sch has officially started.
week 1 is over.
no more bumming around jasmin!
its high time to get cracking with your work.
you want your gpa 3 right! *wink wink*
hmm okay a lot of random thoughts running through my
mind now.

i'll attempt to rant it all out coherently.
today i took my sermon using my S3 note app.
i decided to do sermon taking today cos i
could feel myself not concentrating during worship already
blame it on whatsapp.
i saw all my ftb peeps mugging and what did i do ystd?
RETAIL THERAPY -.-
it was dressabelle's private event and lewei
gladly invited me with her.
she could only bring one friend along as the shop space
was pretty small.
got 2 extremely worthy buys! :)
thank God!
okay back to my sermon note taking.
today's sermon was preached by Ps Jean on the topic
of Worship.
in a nutshell, We worship God for who He is and
praise Him for the blessings He has given us.
We can worship Him everywhere and anytime because
He is simply omnipresence.
attempted to text jinfay the entire sermon but failed.
so i whatsapp-ed her bro instead.
she'll be back on 2September. time flies!
one more week left.

my sister is currently watching the national day rally
CHONG HUI XIAN was mentioned in the rally earlier on!
NGEE ANN ROCKS MAN!
and now she is doing an exchange at an university
at sweden.
she just set an ideal role model to all ITE students.
I hope this will help to get them motivated.
personally, i really felt that what lacks in them is
just sheer motivation.

my 3 months summer holiday was spent v fruitfully.
FTB and starring.
OH how i love SMU :)
i SMU(smoo) you :)

Gratitude

Thank God for Renee! :)

I've a paper at 5pm and

its pouring heavily outside my house now.

somehow, i feel that there's something

very comforting about rain.

like it helps to relieve the heavy heart within me.

ha must be cos of the exams! screw exams! :{>

i hope it stops when i hafta step out of my house.

poly has started their new academic year once again

and i cant never emphasize that......

i really miss that 3 years man.

having said that, becos every poly graduate

hoping to wear the extra accessory aka mortar,

its sad to see that people mugging their heads off

during their free-time or lunch breaks.

not to say that i wasn't like one of them once.

even if i could turn back the clock back to 4 years ago,

i would still have done the same thing.

though dubbed as the paper chase in singapore,

the prestige and reputation that is attached along

with it, is just too tempting.

though i clearly know when all of us start going

out to the working world, after the first job, grades

actually dont really matter.

with the rain pouring so heavily now,

comes the nostalgic-ness.

SIGHHHHHHHHHH.

but i believe in something heavenly now.

*GASP*

Time flies man.

I'm almost done with my first year.

actually...

i cant wait to get myself out of smu.

though i know working life is probably

gna get much dreadful than what i

am currently experiencing now.

the fact that im completely burnt out

just goes to show that too much was put

in when i was in poly.

honestly, i missed my poly life so damn much.

seriously man.

uni life is just all about the mugging

no wonder smu is renowed for its smugging culture.

oh wells, for now, at least the thing i could look

forward to is 23 april 2012.

liberation, i've been wanting you since forever.
