Let's rejoice in every circumstances!

Ok i really misses Jingmei vv much!

About 2 months plus since I last seen her :(
Did i treasured her when she was in yhope?
I should regret, because i didn't treasure her. Something was really prompting me not to, and that was Satan. The miscellaneous wrongs that she did had prompted me to leave a bad impression and a lousy attitude towards her.

The reasons were because she failed to meet me succesfully for countless times- the longest period of waiting time was about a hour and I was sick then. That led me to be overly frustrated, gained hatred, lost temper towards her. Nonetheless I started an argument with her. This was rather nothing to be shocked about, human's nature are always like that. And that's called selfish.
I was really selfish, why didn't I comprehend her? Yes, I understood her reason for sinning but I did not understand what was happening then and that's sad.
The unmatured side of me was hoping that she gets a transfer ASAP. Therefore I could do things whatever I feel like, and I could isolate from her. My mentality was over-childish, I am struggling with this problem right now.

Without her presence I feel very lost and puzzled in doing spiritual stuffs. Her guidance has faded since the day she left. Alright, I understand that I can seek other people around me, but it's unwise, I will have limitations in accounting to someone. But I would feel relatively unobstructed accounting to Jingmei when she was around, it was just the matter whether was I accountable to her? I also seemed to rely on her too much.. I will began to fear and I will settle aside at an isolated place and follow the trend of Emo-ness. Sometimes I really wonder why will I land in such pitiful state? Obviously this prompts me not to bond and fellowship in terms of going for outings and forth more.

My goals from now onwards- learn to appreciate everyone's effort used for me, learn to comprehend the problem before any judgments are made, learn to forgive & forget.. er there are more to mention. And I shan't list down as the post will be very long.

During today's prayermeet. From the bible, Sihui prophesied that we mustn't worry so much, as the day will come and what's the point of worrying?
In my opinion, we will attract Satan to work on us... therefore the worries will just increase and forth more.
In conclusion, I WILL STOP WORRYING! Oh yeah! :)

All I want now is to advice you guys that we must always treasure/appreciate something & someone before we lose them...
I only started appreciating her after she left.. and that's kinda sad.

Neh-mind.
Rejoice in every circumstances!
REJOICE, REJOICE & REJOICE!

TADA! I feel so bless now and I have no idea why! =.=''

During yesterday's English lessons, we were asked to bring our own reading materials...
And i brought chicken soup! Hahas not exactly chicken soup but the book is called 'chicken soup'. The 1 hour of reading was fruitful today :P

There are many books published named 'chicken soup' but they are classified. For instance, Chicken soup for the Mother's soul, Singapore Soul & Entrepreneur's Soul and so on.
For the mother's soul, there are many different topics that were written by Mothers, about what they've experienced, encountered & faced being a mother.
For the Singapore Soul, obviously they were written by Singaporeans. Some preached about things they've overcame and some are classified in the stories of 'transformed lives' and there are many stories in this book. In conclusion, they were written by many people and classified in the related topics :D

So this book is called 'Chicken Soup'. I bought it from the Books Kiinokuniya at Takashimaya a year ago :P And it cost $23.10 but it was free! I used the voucher given by my school. I guess that I've started to love reading and that's great! Yeahhhhhh XD

There's a long quote and poem that I wanted to share.
It was written by the American poet Douglas Malloch.

We all dream of great deeds and high positions, away
from the pettiness and hundreds of ordinary life.
Yet success is not occupying a lofty place or doing
conspicuous work; it is being the best that is in you...
Dream, aspire by all means: but do not ruin the life
you must lead by dreaming pipe dreams of the one you
would like to lead. Make the most of that you have
and are... Do the thing near as hand, and great things
will come to your hand to be done.

I found this quote and poem interesting and meaningful...
It describes that successes don't come with dignity, qualities or to be high ranked. But success only comes if we use our 100% efforts by making it to success and giving our best in everything we do. Dream positively & wisely . But not to dream of negative thoughts. Make sure our dreams and aspiration will come true before we succeed. Make use of our own talents and wisdoms we have to meet our targets. Focus on it faithfully so that everything we do will succeed!

I'm trying to give a source of encouragement. Hope that it helps^^

Reading does not need wisdom. But reading requires the willingness from us, how desirable are we and the motivation to read. Through years of searching, I found the meaning of reading. Reading blindly doesn't helps but meditate on it. The meaning of reading was discovered after I started touching the holy bible, as bible doesn't requires reading but meditating.
Try to meditate on everything you read, you experience and you encounter. It's really far away from your sudden thoughts. To meditate something, it needs time :) The most important things are our patience, perseverance and endurance.

Woah... I typed so much le
Ok stopping here le.

JIAYOU EVERYONE! XD
