Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
Does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails.
Does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails.
If only we could love this way..

++ I AM, IN, LOVE ++
LOVE, like a hurricane, that leaves me bending over.. Overwhelming and sweeping me off my feet..
LOVE, like an infinite ocean, that surrounds every crook and nanny of my life.. Drowning me in the every-present grace and mercy..

++ Its APRIL... ++
I guess all the deadlines had dulled my sense of time and events happening around which i have a particular disdain for. Unaware and oblivious, I stumbled into service yesterday just to realize that Dear Lord, its
Its PALM Sunday!!! when our savior entered Jerusalem! Was feeling alittle ashamed as I was so hyped up about it few months ago that I even plan a whole itinerary for service on this day. I still vividly rmb the Palm Sunday service in Swiss, with all the little children holding palm branches and singing songs that goes "Hosanna!" (Roughly Translated: Lord, save us now) Time flies! Nevertheless, this reminded me that the passion week starts today and I should do something about it to prepare myself for Good Fri and Easter.
Visited Joyce in her AJ booth ystd, too bad i din have much time to visit all the stores but it was fun to just walk ard n soak up the atmosphere! =)
I am a very happy guy now! Cause God has been gracious to us and has led people to the midst of our YA group. Its has grown strength to strength now, seeing Sandar and Chee Hoong being comfortable with us, and Daryl has been knitted tgt with us now. But I have to remind myself, not me, but Dad U did a great job! haha.
I got this funny occurence that once in a while when i wake up, lyrics from certain songs will strongly pop into my minds as it was tellin me something. Today, Amazing grace by Chris Tomlin popped up and i was singing that in shower.. haha..

My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace

And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace
Take courage, all u who read this.. For the Lord has despised the shame and suffering before Him to release us from the chains to sin and death.. We are all new creations, free and surrounded by love and mercy everyday in our lives.. How beautiful this Savior is.. Rmb Him for this week especially.. =)

The fact is, Christ was despised for not despising: the Jew could never understand His charity. Did He despise the woman of Samaria though all her village held her in contempt? Did He despise the publican, the harlot? Did He ever look with disdain on the little children? Christ saw the worst as you have never seen it—felt all the loathsomeness and guilt of sin—yet for the worst all things were yet possible; there was some chord still capable of music. The sorriest sinner was good enough to live for. The sorriest sinner was good enough to die for. A man may be poor, unsuccessful, vulgar, very dull; but if he can say "Christ Jesus died for me," I do not think I shall despise that man again.

The dark waves, as they break around the boat of your life, are bearing you onward to the morning meal upon the golden sands, where you will find that Love has gone before you with its preparations! It shall be evening and morning and lo! the day without night. The darkness will finally pass away before the radiance of the dawn, and this because God is God; He is Love and Light and His Word creates.
The best and sweetest gift, an unclouded heart, rest, serenity, peace and being surrounded daily by love of our Savior..

++ YUPPIE's PICNIC ++
Its was supposed to be a YF foto outing and I was invited to give tips on photography.. *ouch, reminded me of my ill-fated meanie machine* Well, to no surprise, no one turned up except a few cats here n there.. (jess yilin josh plin jeremy etc etc, aka jeff et al) hahaha, SO.. mite as well turn it into a picnic! I even bought mags and books to read!
Moreover, FYP poster day juz ended ystd! So i am in a very goood and suitable mood for it now! The picnic days we had in Geneva and Bremgarten flooded my mind! oh man.. So I decided to rebuild that atmosphere today by wearing long sleeves and berms with loafer for a picnic at botanic gardens! (Gave plin n daron a shock when i entered their car.. ahahha)
1st Stop: Tanglin mall
Continuing the fine tradition of bringing 1kg halbweiSbrot for outings and picnics, I decided to get loaves from this atas Italian bakery! Spoilt for choices because all bread looooks amazingly delicious!!! but i made great ones with the purchase of Garlic Ciabatta and Rosemary Foccacia!
Hurray! The garlic one is especially yummy. Daron bought a liver sausage.. ahhaha! Trying to act atas tgt with me..
2nd Stop: Garden
Finally we reached our destination @ 11am! brite sunny days! How lovely! too bad gracie and rachel cant make it in the morning!
Notice I am the only yuppie-wannabe ard.. haha.. e rest are normal folks..
Went to where darren claim that the tree had a low hangin branch and look for a kewl spot! Well.. not exactly as I imagined.. Coz i was kinda fantasizing I cld lay down and read my mag.. But the mat was kinda small and everyone had to squeeze. The grass sux as usual, infested by ants so that it gave me creeps tinkin bout lying down.. Nevertheless, much positives to look forward to.. Introducing our very own!!!
There u have it! juices, Red wine, bread, ham, cheese, etc! yippe! Although i still prefer having a BBQ outdoor for picnic, I guess we will get into trouble soon enough when we try startin a fire in Botanic gardens.. haha..
Soon enough we are all making merry with guitar songs, red wine and trigger-happy pple! Yiling got a polariod cam! (Every shot cost her 1.20 sgd thou =X) ahhaha
Well.. We have to call it a dae due to rehersals and wad nt.. Sigh, wad a pity! the weather was just so excellent and I am into the mood! hope i get another chance like this soon enough! I gona make onigiri and drink sake for the next round! ahhahaha! Who's on for it!
Saw rachel in church today after God-knows-how long! Happi to see her!!
=) on to finish up my homework!

Nevertheless, we produced something tts pleasing aesthetically! (Never mind about the taste..)
although the review of our salad is only binh thuong.. But we got tons of fun in making it! haha, esp seeing how chloe and xianyi poke n kick each other makes me feel lik a kid again..
Well.. After everyone pooled in our food, we ate like theres no tmr and there's nothing left! i only got to eat 1 small piece of the fried spring roll.. =X But the banana cake was heavenly.. I ate tons of them.. hahaha.. Foto session followed.. So enjoy..
