YOU have turned my life UPSIDE DOWN and INSIDE OUT. :)

Voila~!

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
- Matthew 11:12

I will take it by force.

Oh my.

I'm finally blogging!

*throws confetti and pops champagne*

F.Y.I Liane has not been blogging due to the lack of a computer linked to civilisation (a.k.a internet) at home. Wonder how she survives.

Anyways!

So many exciting things have been happening at Home! (this, of course, is referring to my home at dhoby ghaut).

BIG Youth Camp.
Christmas services.
Heart Awards.

Wow! I can't begin to tell you what happened at each event (though I would very much love to), cuz it would take a lifetime to complete! :) :) :) :)

Just blogging around a few moments earlier, and there were so many entries from people reflecting on the year 2005. This is mine!

Year 2005 was one exciting year for me! Lots of heart aches, lessons learnt (i.e. discipleships..), tears and joy. I've gained groups of simply fabulous friends, the Star of David Alliance, the Best Friend Club, the Unholy Trinity (who is working towards holiness..we should name it the Nearly Holy Trinity), D1, D'zone!! and so on...despite losing some in the process. But hey, I love these people, you can't get them any where else! Can you imagine two Isabels, two Pecks, or two Joyces? The horror. Haha! What's even better, the Best Friend Club gained in membership towards the end of the year..it welcomes Jamie and Wei Tze into the club! *waves*

I must talk about Youth Camp.

It was fabulous! I broke through in abilities, and played soccer for the first time in my life! Woo hoo! Though I was soon substituted by Finnan (within 5 minutes of play time)..but that's not the point here. Plus, I HAD THE POWER (cue reverb) cuz I held the camera and video cam. Heh heh. Took lots of retarded shots and videos. Oh boy did I feel powerful. Services were absolutely AMAZING! I won't share this cuz it's really personal, but I never cease to be awestruck by the presence of God. It's totally addictive, I can't imagine how one can experience the presence of God and forget how it felt like the week after. Or push it away as a surge of emotions, it being "all in the mind", "it's the music", "it's not for me". You know it in your heart, you just gotta accept it in your mind. ;)

Christmas was fabulous. I had no money to buy anything for anyone at all..but to all you people who received the green Christmas cards, you guys are really important in my life. Haha. I meant to get more..but I ran out of greenbacks (what's new).

Heart Awards!
I danced. I danced in retro clothes. It was quite amusing when we all noticed the pink polka dotted tube top, the (ugly) white fluffy skirt, the white patent shoes and the pink beads all belonged to me. Can you believe I used to wear all those. Gee. Jesus not only saved my life, He saved my dress sense too. Rocks man. It was the BESTEST countdown ever! Before the event, I went shopping with ESMONDE in town! I've a handsome leader now! He got a fab new haircut, a pair of jeans from Far East, a pair of exciting new shoes at Beetle Bug and a white singlet (for purposes better not mentioned), another pair of jeans, a belt and a really pretty floral shirt at Topman! Handsome leader! Haha! Everyone went crazy jumping around during praise and worship, then jumping around somemore after Heart Awards! You should have seen the mass of knocked out bodies after supper. Who needs to club when we have better music, better company and clean air? :)

Oh, just as a side note, I'm currently working at Great Eastern Life doing some admin stuff. The job's boring, but it's situated at one of the most exciting places in town! It's right opposite where I used to live, Upper Pickering Street, near Hong Lim Park. Hong Lim Complex has the BEST food; think ipoh hor fun with hugey prawns and two enormous portions of crayfish for $4. The view is fantastic too, it's right next to renovated shophouses and places like China Square. And, I've found this exciting shop called Acts, which is like a bigger version of Life bookstore, complete with a cafe. I love my workplace man. Not the work though. Can hardly keep awake.

Since I'm here..

"Try Jesus. If you don't like Him, the devil will always take you back."
