Bandung here i ammmmmmmm

Yay yay yay! Im going back today!! Hehehe…. S’bas gona accompany me to the airport… hehehe… thx mann!!! Hm… I think Itz time for me to conceal whatever I feel about my life…. Read onnnnnn J

Yupz.. my life is a very blessed one…! I myself feel very grateful to God, that my life is filled with lotza blessings… I was born as first child to bear the family name (tho im a girl.. :p), Ive known Jesus from the beginning of my life, and I served Him with passion once… my family does quite well, I got into good school and the 1998 riot did not really reach my hometown… although I was sent to Singapore, im grateful too, that by being here, I see the world from different perspective, be more analytical, be more matured and learn new things everyday.

Friends in Singapore hav influenced me immensely.. I who once regarded all things as ‘bad’ or ‘sinful’ now could accept more things openly. however, these led me astray from my religion. Sometimes I feel guilty and ashamed that I don’t even know anyone from my church (after 5 years of being church-goer) well.. what is lacking in my life? Ever since I arrived in Singapore, my life has been blessed one!… tho I was in neighbouring school, I learnt that we are very united compared to other bigger schools (coz school population was very small).. my prelim result was a mess becoz of E8 for history, thatz y I got into PJC.. otherwise, I’d be in other JCs (L1R5 was 16 after added with history… quite remarkable right? ^_^).. my O level was disappointing but yeah.. I could still make it…. L1R5 was 15.. so I could stay on at PJC… I found good friends in PJ, and did quite remarkable well for my A level (for my standard horrr)…. Furthermore, I got into NTU which has been my mum’s dream for me to be in NTU… I got the course tat I put as first choice, comp engine… even tho I didn’t pass my GP, SAT I and got a U (ungraded) for my CCA :p now… Why can’t I be grateful to God and serve Him in return? I even avoided baptism class once Im in bandung… gosh… I dunno y im this way… part of me WANT to be baptized, but part of me feels that im not ready for that commitment… maybe im afraid that Christian’s rules are too hard for me…

Itz quite embarrassing when new-people think im a Buddhist of a freethinker… have I changed that much? Me, who was once a devoted member of church choir, in a cell-group, secretary of church youth ministry and alwiz come for any function organized… now? I only devote ONE day in a week to church.. one day! N itz only to go there to pray, listen to sermon but didn’t really do anything to imply it in life..

As for bookz… Nowadays im intrigued by Dan Brown which is kinda anti-christ.. I read the book for the sake of reading… to see what other people think of Christianity.. But.. am I slipping more n more to the darker side now?? I do have faith in God… my family has alwiz been a devoted Christian (but not fanaticssss) and the role model is my mum.. sometimes talking to her on the phone when I tell her ‘aiya.. very scared for exams..’ or ‘im very stressed’ or ‘how?!’ her answer will straight away be ‘just pray… god will make a way…’ isn’t it impressive?? I mean I wouldn’t think of that answer first.. I’d say… ‘erhm… nvm.. u can make it one…’ or ‘relax… take ur time…’ or something like that…im scared of what the devil is doing on our world… GP classes made me convinced that Devil wil make things GOOD in our point of view… scarrrrrryyyyyyyyyy

Is this what pharaoh felt when Moses persuaded him to free the Israelites, pharaoh was given a free mind but stoned heart… is this what Lord is doing to me?? Or is this His own plan to make me a bigger blessing when one day I do commit to serve Him forever? Well2… I gota get going to get the fax machine,… :p ciaoz…. Gona update this blog ‘kapan2..’ :p my phone line in bandung is being under repaired -_-‘ thatha all.. take care!!!!

  • yo! btw bukan conceal yehhhh but reveal! conceal is to cover up! or is it rite yah?? hmm but dun sound rite lehh..

    wah bbrapa hari kgk ke blog elo koq udah byk yah entrynya huehehue

    anyway, yahh itu tuh ttg baptism, lo liad deh gue.. being baptised doesnt mean that elo harus committed to the point sin is sin and bad is bad! dun think tt way, bisa bisa kgk dibaptis seumur idup tuh unless lo dah siap jadi fanatics! and yeah, i mean im not saying dun follow rules gitu loh but yahh being baptised ensures u of eternal life! AND even closer personal realtionship with god! And yah i know he wud even bless u even more when u let him save u! as in being baptised! U will feel the difference! Waktu gue di baptised things started to be different in my life loh! though yah still lots of little troubles and problems, but at least i found myself being mature and ready to accept god's challenges.

    Cuman yah definitely ada dark points in life seh, kenp gue dikirim ke PJ gitu lohh when i tot i can stay di NYJc, pake gue dah study hard juga dapet hasil o level gue jelek! and apa lagi waktu ponakan gue diambil dia, itu mah gue sedih juga seh... those were hard i tell u! but yahhh i began to see his blessings when i found u guys! Lo org bener2 angel in disguise buat gue seh.. and see ketemu lo org gue dah bisa ngmg indo lagi, dah bisa gila2 as in bener2 gila and error, pokoknya click and nyocok and yahh everythign in me starts to change loh!! 180 deg change..(doeh koq jadi kyk gue nulis blog entry gini yah!) pokoke intinya yahhhhhhhh having him in ur life even more when u r baptised and put complete trust without having to worry abt anything tuh really a great thing!

    I hope when u came back dari bandung, u r baptised already hor!!

    (praying for u always) *lin*

  • lol... now this is the comment from the point of view of someone who cannot really be called christian but believe in God.

    my parents are kinda anti-christian as some of you maight know. but i was sent to Genesis, a christian kindergarten and SD Tarakanita III, a catholic pri sch. and then after 2 and a half years in 'neutral' sec sch, i went to St marg's, which is an anglican school. and now i'm in St Andrew's which is also an anglican school.

    deep in my heart i know i'm a catholic. but, because i don't want to start quarrel with my parents and i don't want to make them sad, i've never really declared myself a catholic. because of the same reason, i don't go to church. much less being baptised.

    BUT, i believe in God. i pray to him everyday and everynight. i pray to him when i;m in need. i pray to him when i'm happy. i pray to say thanks for all the blessings that he gave me, for my wonderful family. i pray for the safety of my whole family eventhough my parents do not believe in him.

    am i a catholic? am i a buddhist? or am i a free-thinker? to avoid long explanation to strangers, i always say i'm a free-thinker. but my closer friends know better. ne? ^^

    so, don't be sad just because you're feeling doubtful or maybe 'sinful' =P

    my motto is: just as long as you believe in Him, He lives in your heart. and He'll save you =)

    God bless, nat ^_^
