It's been quite a while since I last blogged. So here's a little quick update on the happenings in my life so far.
1) Rapture 2008 ended with a blast on 30 July at the Esplanade.
It was really like a dream come true for me - to be able to perform on that very same stage, the professional dancers that I admire so much, that I dream to become have had performed before. WOAH!! :D I never expected that dream to come true...'cause it's like the Esplanade you know, a world-class performing arts venue, a place where only the best get to perform! Haha. we were indeed under quite a lot of stress because of the status and 'weight' that the venue carried. It's like people would expect a whole lot more than if the performance were to be just held in school. I'm glad that we managed to live up to the standard somehow, even if it's not perfect. Afterall, nothing's perfect in this world, only God is. Yup, uncountable thanks to our mighty and faithful God for seeing all of us dancers and teachers and instructors through this whole amazing journey. Up till now, almost a month after Rapture, I still can't help reliving those seemingly magical moments on stage. But I think what made this whole experience even more special were the endless night rehearsals, laughter and tears shared and even dancing in the netball court!! I think, it's these memories that will last a lifetime. I may not be the best dancer that I wish I was, but I'm glad that God enabled me to use this little talent that He has blessed me with to glorify His Name! :) Three Cheers to Rapture 2008!!
エスプルナードー でダンスをするチャンスがあること、とてもうれしかったね！*(^^)*
でも、コンサットもう終わったけど、今勉強に集中しなくてはいけないねえ...じゃ、試験でいい点を取るために、一緒懸命勉強するよ！がんばるよ、タムリン！！ゆしゅ～！
2) Common Tests
Nothing much about this...just that I really need to work harder if I wanna get promoted! Thank God that I manager not to fail any subject. So now that next step is the pass well and then get better results!
3) My spiritual life
I've really got to admit that I've not been doin me Quiet Time. I feel horrible everytime I make this confession. That said, it implies that this is not the first time that I (intentionally) pushing God down the ranks of my priority list cos I think that other things are more important. I feel like a really really bad kid. I read something in the Masterlife book. It said that if you were to make an appointment with the president, surely you wouldn't skip it right? Likewise, God is our king, our creator, much much much more important than even a president, shouldn't we give Him the right amount of respect and importance?? I've given giving myself too many excuses. Making the same mistake of thinking that I can do it on my own, over and over again...when will I ever learn my lesson. God gives me a guilty conscience in hope that I may respond and rectify it. But I chose to avoid it and to ignore it. but for how long. There is a longing only You can fill. An empty void only You can see. Lord, I'm truly truly sorry for seriously neglecting you. I need to break out of the habit of forgetting you when all the busyness sets in and when there's lessons and thousand and one other things to worry about. And then attempting to go back to You when school hols start or when there's term breaks..it's so supercificial, so disgusting that it's simply not fit for a wonderful King like you. Lord, please help me change. I've so so many areas in my life that need your help. Lord, help me not to be a 'ge-kiang queen' that jie jie claims that I am. Help me Lord to seek You in every single thing I do. Help me to really live for You and not for myself. It's hard not to care about what other people think of me. But Lord I pray that You'll help me realise day by day that it's Your view that mattters to most, it's all that matters. That it's only through You and by Your amazing grace that I'm where where I am. Lord, really change me. Change me.
changeme.
