ahhhhhhhh! i need to get that lime mag.sher says wuzun looks adorable there!! hahah. im thinking where to stick my poster.either on my closet door or right above me when i sleep.hahaha.sweet dreams every night!! no need for sugar under the pillow. yucks anw, the ants will come.

omg damn sick english lesson tdy.2 periods, we watched 3 vids from some arts central programme called taboo.about the festivals and whatnot of some countries lah.and it was sosososo gross!! ms chua (sec2 lit tchr) said there was some girl in her class who was hypersensitive and she had to go sit outside the class and have a special lesson.and i was thinking, great.she asked is there anyone like that and do we want to watch it, and vanessa esp was like YES.i was almost going to do the silent scream.eh wait, i did scream once.accidentally looked when the guy was like eating a knife.haha, i heard daphne saying my name, coz its well-known im quite squeamish.like during bio lesson when mr teh was PLAYING WITH A HEART (he may be bald but apparently hes still a heartbreaker :D:D) i was the only one left at the benches and everyone else was so sadistic, they were crowding round the teachers bench.and its like sitting thru a horror movie, you might not be looking but you can hear ewewew!sigh, i wonder why ppl want to traumatise themselves.btw, i cant take theme parks either.my stomach suddenly becomes an olympic gymnast.

yeah okay.back to the vids.bottomline, its just DEMONIC lah.im not kidding okay.ann and eileen were like freaked out too, i saw it on their faces.

nepal, thailand, indonesia (bali).

ppl climb "to the heavens" up this reallyreally long ladder thingy with blades for steps.
ppl pierce their tongues on the new year, an "individual taking on the burden of the community", to find out if the year is going to be a properous one. if the tongue bleeds, DIE.but for the past 11 years, his tongue hasnt bled.the spike is not sterilised, no anaesthetic.dab the tongue with oil for lubrication.then PIERCE.then he walks the length and breadth of the cobblestone streets for 40 minutes, carrying a heavy bamboo icon symbolic of god shiva, tongue still pierced.after that remove the spike, nail it to the temple wall, and dress the wound with sacred dust from the sanctuary floor.
ppl let themselves be possessed by spirits, renacting the fight between good and evil, and their friends have to prevent them from stabbing themselves with krises.of course, they dont always succeed.
ppl wait to fall into a trance, then start acting like monkeys, run up to the altar and stick metal rods in their ears neck cheeks tongue.

they believe that by hurting themselves they heal the people and please the gods.such age-old traditions in such a modern world.

its just plain demonic.and i cried okay.prayingpraying.i couldnt help it! such ignorance and foolishness.and nianci has GREAT powers of observation, she said that she noticed that i cant really stand this kinda stuff.WOW.

and what made it all the more ironic was that i believe prophet t.b.joshua is a man of God.the world is divided into believers and skeptics of course.but yes, when he was at my church and at the national indoor stadium he was casting out spirits.there were ppl with lizard spirits and whatnot, animalism maybe?even other religions have animal idols.and in these places, ppl WANT to be possessed.they WANT to fall into a trance and flail their backs.and im thinking, WHATTHEHEAVEN is WRONG with those people??!?!

okay and the whole point of watching those vids? TO IMPROVE OUR ORAL.thats just a damn sick reason.apparently you can relate everything back to sth people wont normally talk about, to make your conversation more interesting.

what books do you like to read?
well i read this book once before that ive forgotten the title of, it was about the Vegetarian Festivals in Thailand....

do you travel? (for people who have only ever gone over-SEAS to sentosa)
no, but my cousin is an avid traveller and she has told me many stories. In indonesia...

mygosh.

ms chua also told us that as christians we might feel aversion (not exact words) to these kinda things, but we're not worshipping their gods we're just respecting their religion.so that may hold some water, what with us being a multiracial and religious country and must be tolerant yaddayadda, but she bought a ceremonial mask!! that goes beyond all reasoning, theres no justification for that.i know you want a souvenir.but a ceremonial mask used for these kinda practices?and she herself said that the devotees are the ones carving the masks (duh).obviously there is a spiritual element to it.

she hung the mask in her room, but then she got scared of it, so she hung it in her bro's room.and from then on til they got rid of the mask, she had nightmares.she saw a woman in her brother's room, who climbed into bed with him.sometimes the woman stood next to her head while she was sleeping, but the face could not be seen. okay even typing this, i feel funny.God, protect me.and im sorry to scare you, but this is to illustrate that the spiritual realm is very real indeed.

ephesians 6:12 "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

in searching for that verse i found this site http://www.pbc.org/library/files/html/4101.html
bit long, but yeah.relevant.

oh yeah, then she started asking why do you worship, and everytime nianci kept directing the qn to me.i dont mind really.haha.gives me an opportunity.only at that time i din really open my mouth coz i was trying to figure up what ms chua was up to :(

WORTH-SHIP
why is worship impt?because we were created to worship Him!! (fulfilling our purpose) also to build a relationship with God (communication). when jackie pullinger (author of chasing the dragon, READIT) visited my church back in 2005, she said, "worship gives us a vision of a perfect and exalted God." hallelujah :D and anw, after all that He's done for us, all that He IS, what other response can we have except to worship Him?amazing huh (: coincidentally, daily bread is all about worship this week :D coincidentally huh.i tell you ah, God is always at work :D:D

nianci said that in penang you can see it live, i told her to shutup.haha.but she scares me man.said her friend was playing around with ouija boards and stuff like that.i told her the omen is antichrist she said want to watch.youying said okay what you watch only not like you believe.you watch then you can prove that its not antichrist.haha im sorry but BULL.if i watch it, arent i the one being "persuaded"? do i have double standards? then nianci says she's watched some movie with a black cross and woman getting pregnant by a demon. virgin birth of Jesus huh. these movies are so original.

people, we need to PRAY.

omg.suddenly sth went wrong with the com and my post disappeared, i clicked recover post and only part of it recovered, so i went to complain the shereen, and when i looked back the rest of the post was back :D:D GOD IS WITH ME.hahaha.

anw i was gonna say, im reminded of the song veron played for worship a few weeks ago.i think its an old song, seen in around in song books and whatever but nvr knew how to sing it.

Here I am my Father
as i pray, pray
for the people on Your heart
as i pray, pray
For the people on Your heart
I believe that if i seek You
i can touch the people on Your heart

:D encouraging.

pck modified rendition.

anw aft dinner, i was playing the piano.ex-hot favourite song "did you rise the sun for me..."
then i played a wrong note, and TADA!! a whole new melody came out, and ive got a new song :D its my sixth, tho the 5th one is just lyrics still.

The Foolishness of This World

Lord you made the heavens and the earth
Lord you formed me from the dust
Lord you made me to worship You
So on my knees i present myself

How could they be so blind?
Chasing after worthless gods?

Lord open their eyes to see
the foolishness of this world
the wonders of Your Majesty
Lord hear my prayer I want to see
A revival sweep the world
Nations turn to You

And when the Son of Man
Comes riding on the clouds
I want not just my friends
But the tribal nations of the world
Singing, dancing, praising You
proclaiming that Jesus is Lord!

reading it like that, might as well take it as a poem.hahaha.because unless i sing it for you, you'll never know how to sing it.im an opera singer i tell you.hahaa.my cell no choice lah, have to listen to me teach them.while you still have free will stay away from glass please.hahaha.btw, glass can only break if the sound is really pure, so obviously i cant break glass, but you know. :D
