Praise the LORD, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits— who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.The LORD works righteousness and justice for all

I was asked to do some reflection writing for my officer about our views of the army life so far and here's what I wrote:I shall first start with being thankful before going into some of the other details.I am thankful that I have a great set of commanders taking my platoon. Thankful not only that they are more compassionate and gracious, but they love to teach and amend our mistakes. Thankful

I am a soldier for 5 weeks already. Is it tough? It's pretty tough for someone like me that has not been exercising but still, I am thankful to God for this experience. I am in School 4, 3rd Company aka Samurai! Sounds nice isn't it!Thankful that my commanders are all compassionate and understanding. And my Platoon Sergeant even encourage us to cut down on using vulgarities! Where on earth do you

15 Days before enlistment photos (some are missing tho). Yeah.. I actually stopped taking photos. Here I am, with 3 days left! Thankful to everyone for their well wishes and prayers for my enlistment! In these few days, I dyed my hair, got my diploma, got my new geek specs, bought army stuff! I think I want to take this opportunity to thank God in this blog. Thank God in advance for good

This week was a emotional roller coaster. It’s hard for me as a friend, to see Debbie’s brother’s life end so abruptly. Life is so unpredictable and so fragile. It’s very difficult for me to see how heart broken they are. This is the moment when I feel totally useless, as a friend, how much help can I provide to ease that void in their hearts? In fact, nobody can. Throughout the whole memorial

I am so glad to truly understand how good God is. I am so privileged to be in this position right now! So inspired by the people around me and their faith in what I can do for Him.

In the end, it is those that shows how much they care matters. I am touched by friends that showed their concerns, giving me words of encouragement, calls, gifts for my birthday when I didn't even bothered to think about my 21st birthday. I am truly surprised and blessed. Thank God for these people. If not for all of them, my 21st birthday will never be memorable.Thank you, because you cared.

The clear sky seems to glow,with the moon so big and bright.Lighting up our hill sides,with an iridescence light.The shadows hide amongst the trees,whilst I listen to the gentle breeze.A night time opera in front of me,a magical moment under a grand marquee.For now I know that no man alive,could ever produce this kind of splendor.One in which a heart beats faster,one which makes my heart

Mark 535 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”36 Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”Never hesitate to ask grace from God. Only faith can overcome fear and grief! It's important to surround yourself with people that are able to

March 2011 is a month of transition for me. So many things has changed! I'm moving house, the church is moving to Suntec, the grad show design is almost done and I've made close friends in NAFA.I'll miss the times when I walk home from the MRT station. It was just me, my music and God. I pray while I walk home. And I'll always do a good self-reflection along the way.When I reach the bridge that's

Expo Hall 8. This place has always been kinda like a home for me for the past 4 years in CHC! I've made so many new friends, had many fond memories and had lots of encounters with God. I remember the first time when I stepped into hall 8, I was dumbfounded by what I saw! I thought I came into a concert instead of a church! HAHA! Everyone has their own little stories to tell about Expo Hall 8.

I don't know about you but I love the rain. I want to just walk down the street with an umbrella on hand, music in my ears and thoughts to ponder about. And to just simply observe the surrounding, the environment and the people around. I love the rain, maybe it's just because I know that there will be rainbows after the rain.

Sometimes the things you want the most don’t happen and what you least expect happens. I don’t know - you meet thousands of people and none of them really touch you. And then you meet that one person and your life is changed.Love and Other Drugs is so awesome! Alright, so you might think it's kinda weird. Yes, I do love chick flicks! I really do!

Time flies! It's already CNY 2011. I'm so happy that I can finally have a good reunion together with my family and friends! I really miss all of them. I've been speeding through the whole time because of school and I found out that I've neglected many things.Time to slow down and spend more quality time with my family and friends.

"Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees — beware of their hypocrisy." — Luke 12:1You probably learned early on to put on masks and disguise flaws you didn't want anyone to see.Jesus calls that kind of behavior the "yeast of the Pharisees" or "hypocrisy".

"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." — Martin Luther King, Jr.This is the power of dreams.

It's the last and final day of 2010. I want to thank God for everything that I've been through throughout this whole year!

Thank God for the awesome friends and family around me.So, cheers to 2010. Good bye!

No matter if it is your closest friend or even a family member, they will hurt you at any point in life. It is inevitable. Iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another. It is inevitable to not not produce sparks between people.But God loves us unconditionally.God will still love you even when you have done a grave mistake.God will still love you even when you hate Him.God will still love you

Dear friends,I miss you.Love,Edwin.To say the truth, it is my nature to spend more time in solitude than to spend time with a bunch of friends. It’s not that I don’t like people but that’s my human nature. I do miss the times when I do meet any of my friend alone and have a chat over dinner. I love to share about my experiences and things that I’ve learned. I also love the quiet moments when

I've been attending my core module RCS for 2 weeks and I've really found interest in it! This module teaches us about communication. To put it simply, it is about communication between people.Here are some stuff that I feel that it is quite interesting and very true..Guys are like.. Whereas girls are like.. Guys tend to fall in love quick, like a matchstick – lights up

Dear Grandma,I remember the days that you’ve taken care of me when I was young. I remember the days that you came all the way from Kim Keat to Potong Pasir just to fetch me back from Kindergarden. I remember the days that you made Peng Kuehs and Ang Ku Kuehs and walked all the way to my house just to give them to me. I will always remember your love for me. You are the most loving grandmother

Yet again, I do not have any specific person to write to. I might have done someone wrong at any point and I do expect people to forgive. I apologize to anyone out there that holds a grudge against me. I may have done something insensitive. That is my nature. Sometimes I’d just miss your point. I’m sorry for my imperfections. But I do hope that whoever you are, is willing to release that grudge.

There are many people that caused me a lot of pain. But I choose to forgive but of course I’ll never forget. I’ll take them as someone who’ve taught me a lesson. Forgiveness must always be the first thing to do when someone caused you to hurt. Always look on the bright side of life! When people slaps you on the left cheek, allow that person to slap you on the right. This is not stupidity. It is

Dear Michael,Hi MJ! My name is Edwin. Yes, I’m one of your fan among the millions. I always wanted to just hang out with you and listen to your perspective of life as a true artist. You are definitely the world’s best entertainer that anyone could’ve seen in the next few hundred years. I would want to know how did your music and dance come about.

Dear reader,Hello. My name is Edwin. And I am born in the year 1990, the 8th of June. I am a introvert which is why I became an addicted gamer when I was in secondary school. In my early teenage years, I do not have much friends at all let alone to have someone to talk my feelings and thoughts to. My family weren't close at all. My parents use to quarrel all the time. Words of affirmation, hugs,

Dear dreams,Thank God I have dreams! That’s what life is all about isn’t it? Man has to dream of their own future and work on it. I have so many dreams. I dream that one day I’ll be in the mission field, traveling around for mission trips - praying for others, laying hands on others, preaching, etc. I dream that one day I’ll be a good designer that is able to design things that will be mind

Dear Jun Xiang,You lazy, idiotic, lame, crappy, funny, crazy, moronic brother! I want to say I love you from the bottom of my heart! Fear not when you encounter bullies or situations where you think you can’t overcome. I’ll definitely be there for you. Sometimes I do wish to just hangout with you alone and have some good quality time together. You know, we don’t have a lifetime together. One day

Dear Family,I remember the times when our family goes out on a trip together. I remember how close we all were. I remember when Jun Xiang and I were still very young and the both of you brought us out to play. I love the times when we were all in the car enjoying a car wash from the inside. We all laughed, smiled and hugged. The reason why I said all these in the past tense it’s because they are

But I do love it when I have someone to pour my thoughts out to! I do hope I can be your listening ear forever. I wanna say, you can always call or text me ANY time! Just call my name and I’ll be there. Remember that when you get married you have to,

One Night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonged to him and the other to the Lord.When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there

I think it is very important to let people know that they are loved. Be it by gift giving, affirmation, touch, quality time and acts of service. It is important to show love, to give out love, to really make it our motivation. I think it is pretty fine to give hugs and say "I love you" or even say "I thought of you" to a friend or a family. It does not even need to be in a romantic relationship!
