"Pain" Ball

Paintballing was heaps fuN! haha. and plenty pain as well. THe guys got shot up really bad though... think they were doing too much of an army thing. I think the lay out of the place was quite open. but the barricades did help give some cover. it was mostly (for me) take cover and shoot when someone sticks their face/hand/leg/gun out to take aim. haha. Will wanna try the outdoor one!! the gun's pretty heavy tho.... haha.

The guys... all tired of being shot at and glad to be out of the arena. =)

The (very few) girls... we had tonnes of fun hey!
More pictures on the Flickr bar to the right!

SFAS team

I must say... we have a great and vibrant Drama team this year. Always full of laughs and a great mix of people to brighten up your dying day. haha =) like everyday is a dying day for us, right mari? That's besides the point. Our warm ups were hilarious yesterday... my gosh!!!

Marcus and i got a towel. haha. Why does it always have to be animals?? i asked.
Anyway, first up we did an impression of a bull fight, with the red cloth? yea and marcus was the bull. hahhaha. den a picnic mat, den he used it as a mini cape (super hero kind). and last as a leash- and i was the dog! =(

i think Jack and Mari did fantastic as well! they got a torchlight... i remember vaguely... The Statue of liberty, a doctor's torch for looking at your throat... ??!

The rest did great as well. haha. The blind date warm up was funny as well.

"We would tee off on our first date" - Tiger Woods
"i like to play with little boys" ???!- Michael Jackson

Stopping the Paper Chase

All paper is either...

...Information - It has to be read (prioritise)
... Action - Something has to be done, submit to supervisor? Summarised?
...Filed - It has to be labelled and kept.

OR

...Junk! - Everything else... Please re-use as rough paper. (recycle!)

Before keeping paper ask:
1. Will i read it and what will i need it for?
2. Will it matter if i lose it?
3. Do i need to keep all of it? (i.e just keep abstracts and summaries for reference purposes?)

********

Sometimes you go to drastic measures to stop your room/ workplace from overflowing with pieces of information, stacks of papers/notes/books.

Like my above---"stopping the paper chase" notice.

Soldier on!

The cell just left my place after a fun fun time of fellowship! hehe.
If we would have just started on time... we wldn't be ending this late!! But Bijia's my cell leader... does that explain things? haha (jk lah girl, we all have some 'annointing' that gets passed down)
Played bridge after ages of inactivity! It's one game i call my life's most strategic sport! haha.
Good mind game. Abel will disagree with me, cos he has his chess to compare.

Anyway... it's no furniture for 40 hours (eating off the floor, bringing laptop to the floor and typing, no bed- just spread comforter and sleep)... =) 40 hour famine! For alot of us, the fast has started today and will end round about sunday morning! Support us by sponsoring us! =)

Unfailing love

"Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed.
Yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken
Nor my covenant of peace be removed, says the Lord, who has compassion on you."

Isaiah 54:10

Thank you for your unfailing love.
i feel much better now.

Endnote software!

Rock climbing

This will take some time to load. For all you aspiring climbers out there... Fantastic bouldering footage. Very inspiring!

Brand new week

Didn't do much today but sit at the computer and type the whole day away working at the thesis.
Feeling quite drained actually. Think it's all the radiation/eye power looking at the screen.

Never been so contemplative about the future before... lots of issues to consider and oppurtunities before me. Plenty of experiences, skills and things to learn. So many places, such a big world.

"Many are the plans in a man's heart,
but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails. "-Pro 19:21

"In his heart a man plans his course,
but the LORD determines his steps. "-Pro 16:9

God, your purpose, your will, your way.

Pain!

Feeling incapacitated yet again!
i guess i know why females have a higher threshold of pain compared to men!

save me....

Peanut butter

Arachibutyrophobia is the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth.


uh?

My God is a FINISHER

I was sharing, one of the many reasons why i've started running (races or not) again after 5 years of lapse... is because of the fact that i feel training as an athlete is very similar to our walk with God. I develop endurance, stamina, my body is conditioned and becomes disciplined to finish what i have in mind to complete. Just like my walk with God, i can start good... but what counts is that i end well.

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." -Rom 12:1

In the words of a friend of mine who is a triathlete--"Breaking Day is the day the body is the most hard pressed. It goes further, faster and harder. It's rests are shorter. The breathes are harder. It's meant to push the body further till it breaks its physical limit."

It's strange how the human body must break before it gets stronger.
God doesn't depise broken things. Including your body. I gladly break.

"Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;" - Phil 1:6

In one of his posts- he also reminded himself that our God is a finisher--

"Our God finishes. Whatever Jesus sets out to do, He completes. He finishes well. The joy set before Him propels Him to finish well. Our God is not a half-pass-six God, a desserter God, a overtalk-underdeliver God. His yes is yes. His no is no. He who begun a good work in you will complete it. So throw off hinderances daily. Loose yourself from entangling sin. Run with perseverance the race marked out."

Lord, finish well with me.
