Never ending journey!!!

As the year is approaching the end, I suddenly realize that I will be missing 2008 so muchhhh!!!! This is such a strange concept to me!!!! You will miss the time which has past, but you don’t usually miss what is going to pass!!!! But yeahhh, this year is such an important year to me, with so many things happened, all of which had huge IMPACT on my life!!!! All of it revolves around God, my dear savior, my closest friend, my everything!!!! Through Him, I see the world! Through Him, I have been changed!!! And I discovered myself all over again!!!! Now I really understand that there’s no way for me to express my thanksgiving to Him!!!! JUST SIMPLY AWESOME GOD, who promised to be with me forever and always to the very end of the age!!!! I’m thankful that as I grow in the Lord, I come to Him with a more thankful heart and more open and honest and humble and repenting attitude!!!I’m thankful that though I fear God, I talk to Him like a friend! And I come to Him simply as who I am, with my own weaknesses, my envies, my troubles, and my unforgiveness!!!! For I know He accepts me for who I am, He embraces me no matter what!!!! And the most amazing thing is that I can only experience His transforming power and renewing strength when I let Him in every single room of my heart!!!! None of us is perfect, and that’s why we need God so much in our lives!!! Only He can really really accept us for who we truly are, and from that build us up with His solid foundation of the Word and guide us through with the Holy Spirit!!!! God, I just pray that You will help me to love You even more each and every passing day!!! For everything else will naturally spring from the love for God!!!! Just increase my capacity to love you Lord!!!

Actually there are many things I feel like reflecting upon but I don’t know where to begin! It’s really like a mess in my head now!!!haha!!!So I think a better idea can be reflecting upon the people who have made my year!!! Because, they are the ones, who have made all the things (which I wanted to reflect on) possible!!!!!

My parents:

One word I have is REGRET!!!! I really feel that this year I had much less time to talk to them!!!! And the fact that I received Christ without their permission sometimes made the situation worse!!! I still remember all the heated arguments, all the time I cried feeling this great sense of hopelessness and disability to explain to them how much God meant to me!!!! But as I tried so hard to explain the position of God in my life, God reminded me How much they meant to me as well!!!! I could just conveniently go on with my own belief without trying to make them understand!!!But I dint want to make them worried! I didn’t want them to lose trust in me!!! I want them to be deeply involved in my life though we are very far apart!!! How could I not share with them the deepest joy in me!!!!My parents, they are JUST TOO PRECIOUS to be left behind!!!! At the end of the day, all my struggles just make me discover one simple fact that I REALLY REALLY LOVE THEM even when they cant understand for me!!!!And for that, I will never give up telling them about God in a patient and respectful manner!!!After all, I dont really have that many chances to talk to them, so I want all the conversations with gentle words!!!!I cant stand quarelling with my parents cos it will leave me in a state of Badly regretting after a while!!!! I suddenly miss them badly!!! Pray for their health and happiness for next year!!! My dad should SERIOUSLY stop smoking!!!I’m very scaredddd!!!!

Jessica ChinChow the SuperWoman my dearest Sister In Christ:

I feel blessed+grateful to have known her!!!!I really cant imagine how this year would be without her as my soooooo dearrrrrr friend and sis in the Faith!!!!She is really living out to glorify God's words, in every single thing she does, in all the encouragement she gives each and everyone of us, and even in her thoughts and struggles, and even in the way she humbly admits her limitations with God!!!!I'm just tooo blesseddd!!!!And without her, I dont think I can grow this much in the Lord!!!!Jesssss!!!!!You are this really amazing gift to all of us!!!You cant imagine how you have been to me!!!!I'm running out of words (should chech the Right words now!!!)!!!!But whether you can serve next year or not, I dont think its a problem!!!Just ask God, and do things which will grant you the peace from within!!! I remember last time you ranked peace as the top priority for you rite!!!Yeah, peace with God, peace with your parents, and peace with yourself from within yeah!!!!I love you loadssss Jesssss!!!!And I pray that God will give you PEACE Jesss!!!!You will be able to take it and endure!!!!

Sher the PRincess of God/XiuXiu/Dawny Cheng:

My ultimately wonderful classmates!!!!I wouldnt have such a fun+fulfilling J1 without them!!!!!I know XiuXiu wont like it, but i may not stay in SIngapore!!!!I have very mixed feelings about the idea itself, half want to stay here (there are just too many things to miss!!!!too many people!!!!after all, I practicall spent 3 years here!!!!), half want to experience new environment elsewhere if i have the chance!!!!Yeah!!!!And as 2009 is coming, the time for me to decide is nearer!!!!I know it depends on many other factors, but just wondering if i have a choice, what should I do????Haizzz!!!!Sadddd!!!!But we will just focus on J2 first!!!to make it a really unforgettable year!!!So that even if I'm leaving Singapore next year, I will not have to regret, and all the memories saved up these few years will pull me through!!!!Love them loadssss!!!!!I really think we should have a gathering when we are like 30 years old!!!!I will bring my kids and my dogssss!!!!haha!!!!

To be continued tmr....

Happeee Christmasss!!!

This is my first Christmas with GODDDDD!!!!anddd its soo much different!!!!The most amazing and encouraging thing was Michelle receiving Christ!!!God is really moving!!!God is just too cool for me!!!I’m so excited for her journey ahead!!!Her life will be entirely transformed!!!Her world will turn up side down, inside out, left to right (according to XiuXiu’s term rofl!!!!)!!!!But yeah!!!!AMENNNNN!!!!!!

Went out with my Vietnamese gang yesterday to Crystal jade, then Gloria’s Jeansss!!!We haven’t had this kind of gathering for such a long time!!!So much funnnn!!!!And all of a sudden, after so many things, I felt like we returned to the start, when everyone was so innocent, and cheerful, and soooo united!!!!I pray to God that this spirit will remain to keep us going for the rest of next year!!!!I tried to be Santa Claus yesterday too!!!!I’m just too unglammmm!!!!!Oh yeah!!!Yesterday at Gloria’s Jeans, I met a lady!!!At first, she kept looking at me, then smiling!!!I smiled at her too, then she suddenly she asked me “What does WWJD mean???”!!!I told her that It meant WhatWouldJesusDo!!!!Then she asked me abt my church and that kind of stuff!!!!I realized that she was a Christian too!!!!So after I brought my drinks back, I came over and said Merry Christmas to her!!!!Such a cool encounter!!!!But through her, God really reminded me that as I was wearing my faith around, people would look at me and have certain expectations!!!!Must do God proud yeahhh!!!!And I think the WWJD wristband is such a cool way for other Christians to recognize me!!!!So cool!!!!

Today was service in church!!!!Sanqian, Manning and Barry came for a visit!!!Hope that they did enjoy themselves, and be wrapped in the holiday and Christmas mood yeah!!!!Such a wonderful feeling (with the love fill the room from the floor to the ceiling!!!)!!!This year, I celebrate Christmas with a thankful heart, that God so loved the world that He sent Jesus to die for all our sins on the cross, He so loved me intimately that He offered me His friendship, that He is so merciful that He forgives all my past sins, that He is so understanding that He puts around me so many bro and sis in Christ to strengthen my faith, that He is so faithful that He delivers His promises and never turns away from me even at times I denied Him in my life!!!!I give you all the praise Lord!!!For You deserve more than all!!!!And You are my all in all!!!!My everything!!!!It’s really amazing to be in God’s Love!!!Andddd that’s why I so want all of my beloved ppl, family and friends to experience His love!!!!

After service went to Sakae Sushi with Barry!!!!Hadddd a greattt time of healthy chilling outttt!!!

And thankssss Sher sooo much for the Cross necklace!!!!Now I have a necklace and a wristband to declare publicly that I’m a COG!!!!But the most impactful way must be the one through my very own lifestyle!!!!The Lord be my guide, AMENNNN!!!!!

Returned to boarding to receive Chop and Che’s card!!!!So sweeettttt!!!!!To be honest, I prefer cards to all!!!!I’d rather have a bdae card than a bdae gift with no cards accompanied!!!!Cos I really love reading letters and love writing letters toooo!!!!!So you all know my taste!!!!And as I reread all my letters this year the other day, Jessica Chow was the top spammer!!!!hahaa!!!!But I love it!!!!Many more years down the road, these letters may make me laugh, make me tear, remind me of all the wonderful people who have crossed my path, and even build me up in times of difficulty!!!!Yeah!!!People come and go!!!But I believe that they will always make their spaces in my heart, and for that I will never be the same!!!I’m enjoying the moment first!!!!

Anddd I think the coolest Christmas gift I have is a Vietnamese bible, which sadly speaking, I couldn’t understand like one tenth of what is written!!!!I’m not exaggerating!!!!Thanks Hang and Esther!!!!I’ll get their emails from pastor!!!!May be I can visit them one day!!!!God is great!!!!All the time!!!!

Too much Sushi for lunch already!!!!Feel like sleeping nowww!!!!!

Have a verrrrrry Merrrrrrie Christmasssss ppl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome 18th !!!

Today is SERIOUSLY a must-blog day!!!!Cos I felt so loved by the surprising bdae party!!!And my friends from all different channels came together to celebrate my bdae!!!You all made my day man!!!!Ahhhh!!!I cant be more BLESSED!!!!Thank Godddd!!!!
After service, Sher gave Barry's gift to me and asked me to stay put!!!I was kinda suspecting alredy but she told me that we would celebrate my bdae with Jess only in J8!!!And suddenly Ngan and Mich needed to go back early also!!!WEIRD!!!haha!!!Then Sher insisted going back to school to take this imaginary physics worksheet from Daryl!!!And Tada!!!We walked to Raja, where I saw this whole bunch of people in eithr pink or red jumped out from behind the wall!!!I was speechless eh!!!Got our clique, got Bimbotic Barry, got JonGan, andd got Vincent (who came all the way from Pasir Ris there)!and later Mich,Ngan, HaiLy,ToLan,HaLinh, Cheryl Ng and Arina all joined us!!!And everything was just so pinky!!!As if I liked pink like that (I just Happened to have bought pinky stuff k!!!)!
Jenius Jess came up with quite a number of sec 1 kinda games!!!But Thanks loadssss Jesssss!!!Through the Tick Tran Toe (What a hillarious name), I was amazed that everyone knew that behind my file got the words "God is love", and amazed that Barry Ng remembered my hp number haha!!!Andddd everyone thought that I never scored below 70% for all my maths tests so far!!!Your LinhLinh is not so smart haha!!!So many funny things man!!! And Jess purposedly had this random game when people had to come up to poke the RATTTT!!!(And their prize is Exclusive with Linh!!!!)!!!You are the best Jess!!!So I got to sing the Duckie song with Ngan, sing Last Christmas with Vincent, do the YMCA dance with Mich, and sing Leave out all the rest with Barry!!!And I realized that Jess&Sher never participated in the games though!!!Unfair!!!!
It was a time of great fun and laughter!!!I REALLY ENJOYED MYSELF TREMENDOUSLY!!!! I thank God for
Jess&Sher&Dawn, who had put in lots of effort to coordinate and to plan for my bdae party, and WORK IT OUT!!!
XiuXiu for her tang yun (I'm so touched by her home made gift, somemore this is the first time you've made tang yuan rite!!!Probably the first time you've ever cooked!!!), for her sis, who randomly wrote a bday card for me when she doesnt even know me, and for her dad, who gave me honey so that I would look more beautiful (thats what he said k!!!Your dad is so funny XiuXiu!!!Your whole family is just full of Cute ppl lah!!!)
Vincent for travelling all the way here to share the joy with me!!! (Hope that you did enjoy the RJC clique today!!!RJ all nice ppl rite!!!!Really glad that you didnt feel left out!!!And thank you for your Hot Pink Earphone as well!!!)
Barry for his really meaningful and funny and everything sketch book!!!I realize that you have quite a lot of photos of me eh!!!Must secretively delete one day!!!Thanks for buying my fav drink as well!!!I'm very touched that everyone remembers lots of small things abt me!!!Andddd we forgot to take picture with Wall-E again today!!!
Jon Gan&Arina&Cheryl Ng for being such a sweet surprise to me!!!
My Vietnamese Gang for coming down even though all of them was like dying cos of lack of sleep yesterday night!!!Dont know what they did man!!!And for buying the Sparkling to mark my 18, legal age for alcohol!!!I had a hard time trying to open the thing man!!!
And Mich for giving Jesus a try today!!!You and your open attitude towards the Gospel was a great gift from God on my 18th!!!!
Oh yeah!!!Though Daryl and Benj couldnt make it for my party but thanks them all for their warm wishesssss!!!!

I need to continue with my Christmas giftssss!!!
On a side note, today sermon was really powerful!!!God was speaking so clearly to me about reaching out to my very own family!!!!This year, I reached out to my friends and brought JiangFan and Ngan to know the Lord (by God's Grace!!!)!!!But I never tried to reach out to my parentsss!All our conversations abt Christianity, I was trying to reason out for them How God could do good things for MY life!!!But I never really told them that GOD could do great things to them as well!!!I want it so badly for my parents to enjoy salvation, and to be embraced by God's love and His mercy!They are my most beloved people, I want when the day comes, they will be lifted up as well!!! And Pastor Ronald was just so in tune with the Holy Spirit when he prayed for me!!!God was telling him that God could see the burden in my heart, the burden of compassion for the Lord!!!YESSS!!!!And through his prayer, God reminds me that in all things, I need to keep FAITH!!!!yeah!!!So often we forget that the very gist of being a Christian is all about Faith!!!Faith will pull us through in all situations, Faith will push us to do things we dont feel like doing, Faith will keep us perservering, Faith will help us face up to life challenges!And although Faith itself is to believe and put hope in UNSEEN things, Faith can be really VISIBLE to the people around us cos it will be manifested through our lifestyle!!!Andd God also reminds me that everything takes time!Its important we sow the seed!!!Anddd God will deliver us faithfully man!!!!I feel so recharged!!!And really READY for next year!!!2009 is the year to MOVE IT MOVE IT!!!!
Gotta get back to my Christmas plan like nowwww!!!!
THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!
And GOD is good all the time!!!!

YCamp challenge P2

Continue with my reflection about Ycamp Challenge!!!

The next person taught me a lot is my BBH buddy!!!I knew him before this camp, from Y Confidence! And I promise that he has changed!!!May be its the responsibility of taking care of a person who is less fortunate than him in many ways, that stirred up the changes in him!!!He helped me a lot!Without him, I really didnt know how to help my SCAS buddy in stuff like toileting, bathing and sleeping, and sometimes even walking!!! My BBH buddy is the best lah!!!At the end of the camp, I wrote him a note!!!I asked God for very long before I decided to give him cos I thought it was a bit cheesy for guys like him!!! But then God reminded me that like every one else, he also had his own emotions and stuff, its just that whether he wanted to express it or not!!! And if he couldnt find the words to say, as a volunteer, I should be the one taking the initiative rite!!!I know that I did the rite thing!!!When we sent all the beneficiaries off, I saw him lingering around, kinda having something to say!!!So I came over and talked to him!I think both of us knew what he was feeling rite then and what he wanted to say!!!But as I said, he just didnt get used to express his feelings verbally so....Its okay for me!!!The greatest thing is that he told me he wouldnt mind coming back for Ycamp!!!!Thats more than any words already!!!Sooo heart warming!!!And I pray that as he continued with his life, especially after he gets discharged, he will be able to find someone to hold him accountable all the time!!! And most of all, he will be able to realize the purpose of his life, that he is not just anyone, he is really someone for the people around him!!!I feel a bit sad cos the chance for me to meet him again or even get updating about his life is realy slim!!!That's the flip side for volunteer work I guess!!! There are so many people, so many lives that have touched me, moved me and impacted me deeply; yet its really hard to meet them again to see how the future unfolds for them, to see how my volunteer work has changed the course of their lives, even the slightest!!!But I will keep them all in prayer!!!And I pray that God will find them!!!

And I thank God for Nymph (My group's name) and other volunteers!!!We came together, all from different walks of life!!!We were strangers at first!!!But as we all focused ourselves on serving the beneficiaries, we were drawn closer!!!And at the end of the camp, on the bus back to YMCA, we got so HIGH!!!!haha!!!The guys even created a band and kept singing for the whole journey!!!Will keep in touch with everyone through FB k!!!Hope that Julia will fininsh the compilation of contacts soon!!!And hope to see everyone in the next YCamp!!!

And this is the cool thinga about volunteering with YMCA!!! We have devotion every morning!!!Soooo COOOL!!!Its not compulsory lah!!!And God did really speak to me and guide me through out the whole camp


!!!I was soooo amazed!!! Like how on the first day, I felt a bit scared because different people had very different ways of working!!!But then the next day during devotion, after reading a passage in Hebrews, God taught me to be like-minded with the people I'm working with!And I realized we all came to the camp with one purpose, with one attitude, that of service!!!So as I shifted to focus from ourselves to serve God through serving the people around me, I felt a deep joy, that no conflicts can destroy!!!Thank Godddd!!!!

I'm really considering coming for next YCamp eh!!!But it will be in June!!!And next year J2!!!Still have IU trip for interact to Malaysia!!!Haiz!!!!The Lord be my guide!!!!

Oh yeahhhhhhhh!!!AND RHEMA IS JUST SUPERBBBBB!!!The com put in huge effort I can tell!!!Today will be the first nite for Pre-Christians!!!!Will be going with Vincent!!!Hopefully Manning and JLou can come as well!!!And Julian (to find his purpose in life)!!!!I'm pushing very hard!!!And as I saw Ming Zhe just anyhow walked into the first night yesterday and decided to join for the rest of the nite, I knew God was really moving, through this generation, using us to touch the unchurched!!!Lord, I pray that You will use me in all possible ways so that by all means, they will get saved!!!!

EXCITED FOR RHEMA!!!!And to see Jess acting!!!!

Pray for Ngan's recovery and Sher's safe trip!!!

Byeeee!!!

God bless!!!

YCamp Challenge P1

Back from YCAMP Challenge!!!
Thank God for the safe trip!!! I returned safe and sound even though we got attacked by insects and bugs!!! Some people got bitten quite badly until the point that the camp had to be canceled off half way!!! Pray for all the people who got injured or bitten that they will recover soon Lord!!! And I also thank You greatly for guiding the YMCA committee so that they came to the right decision the control the whole situation!!! Because after all, our health is still of number 1 importance!!!
There are many take aways for me from this camp!!! Firstly, its from my SCAS buddy!!!I really looked at them from an entirely different light now!!!Despite of his physical disability and mentally challenge, he is just as any one of us!!! He likes Chris Brown! He listens to music all the time!!! He likes to dance!!! Basically, he's quite Hip!!!!The thing which amazed me the most is how he was so willing to try the high elements again!!! He climbed up for the first time, then stopped half way becaused he was too scared!!! But after I talked to him for a while, he agreed to try again!!!And he was too willing to take off the harness, so he insisted on wearing it so that he would be the firts one to climb to rock wall!!!!I'm so proud of him!!!And I was struck by his bravery as well!!! How many of us would be able to climb up again after the first time of being scared to death up there??? How many of us would be able to face our fear and most of all, have a strong will to overcome it???I really think that I'm more blessed physically, but there are so much in their spirits that I have to learn from!!! Helping my buddy in his walking and eating and normal daily activities is not very easy cos he was much heavier than I thought!!!I was very stressed at first because I must make sure that he is safe 24/7!!!And he kept grabbing my lower arm to gain balance while walking till my whole lower arm went red and smelled like chicken (because he used his hands to eat chicken wingssss!!!!)!!! But thank goodness I got used to it after a while!!! And I was glad because he was treating me like his friend and his supporter!!!I feel really blessed! Thank God that I made the right decision to come!!!
I need to go for service now!!!
To be continued later!!!
Byeeeee!!!
Have a blessed weekend!!!!

Back from leader retreat!!!

Retreat was real fun!!!Get to know more people in church!!!And i will be leading Sec 1 next year!!!A bit scared but EXCITED all the same!!!Lots of funny moments with Sher!!!haha!!!And Sher admitted that she has become more and more like me!!!And I was so encouraged when pastor CuiXian prayed for me!!!I was thinking that it would be a great challenge for me to be CM next year, cos of my other committments, A-level and my parents and stuff!!!But Pastor prayed that even though I was young in my Faith, God would lead me and guide me in this journey cos It's Him, who had called me to this purpose!!!After that, I realized that I needed to lift up all my burdens to God, make mine become His!!!And as I lift Him high up in my life, He will lift me up as well!!!So cool!!!Sher was sharing with me that she was a bit anxious about going over to G2 cos it would be a totally new environment for her and she would be the only RJ there!!!But jia you Sher!!!As Esther affirmed us, if its God's will, then He will make sure His will be done rite!!!And you will be able to grow even stronger!!!Go SHERRRR!!!!God is good all the time!!!!(Just sad that Tham and Jess couldnt come!!!Haizzzzz!!!!)!But Sher and I called the two of them to update about our trip!!!And i doubted that we talked very loudly!!!haha
I just pray that for Jess and her RHEMA stuff and pray that Tham can come over and help as well!!!So many things!!!PUSH!!!
Feel very bad that i broke my promise with Vincent about movie today!!!ahh!!!and poor him!!!have to do everything all over again!!!Have lots of things to update you k!!
Received Barry's sms from Malacca today!!!haha!!!quite surprised!!!and TOUCHED!!!Really really!!!we had a real good time catching up, eating Subway before he left for his camp!!!He kinda showed me his new shoes which made him look like Sec 1(But as he wanted to look cute, soo TOO BAD)!!!Eh!!!Can you please get the elegant shoes!!Much nicer!!!Enjoy the rest of your camp k!!!(forgot to ask him about the plasters we bought, they'd better work)!!!
Really need to start packing now!!!ahhh!!!I would be SprDpr thankful if I can survive this week!!!Be safe and sound back for RHEMA!!!!

Happee bday to Nghii!!!

I'm supposed to be packing for retreat tmr!But decided to take a small break to go online!!!haha!!!Picking Ngan up from Australia and sending Nghi off to Vietnam at the airport yesterday was great fun!!!It's Nghi's bdae today so we wanted to surprise him!!!I drew inspiration from watching a man eating fries!!!So we bought one small fries at BK, made the letters Happy Birthday on the tray!!!And in order to greatly surprise him, i had to wear JLou's jacket and to sit at a far corner, then approaching him from the back with the tray on my hand!!!When I shouted "Tada!!!Happy birthday!!!", with my hoodies still over, i could tell that he nearly got choked!!!haha!!!So funny!!!But isnt nice surprise rite??? We slacked around, talking, laughing, and stoning til he checked in!!!By this time, Nghi should be in Vietnam enjoying winter already!!!Have fun k!!!
Such a short entry!!!
But really need to get back to packing!!!
If not I think Sher will just kill me!!!
And really excited to see Chop at YCamp!!!

Free!!!

Hoorayyyyyyyyy!!!!For the very first time these few days I have no work to do!!!Cos my prof can only see me in the afternoon so....TOO BADDD!!!!Take a BREAK!!!!!This is the best feeling!!!Slacking around!Listening to music!Blogging!!!haha!!!And DONT HAVE TO STARE AT ANY FIGURE AT ALL!!!!!!!Thankfully the Internet came back!!!

Went for FREE buffet last Sunday after service!!!haha!!!Thanks to JLou and her daddy!!!Ate quite a lot and realized that the older we got, the less we ate!!!haha!!!But couldnt take away anything for Tham!!!(By all means I tried k, but buffet wad, couldnt be too obvious rite!!!)!Had a really fun time catching up and joking around with Di!!!I think the last time we saw each other was like June after CT!!!But accompanying the adults going shopping turned out to be quite exhausting, guess that it was because we didnt buy anything (We are all BROKE)!!!Di will still be in Singapore on my bdae so....We can celebrate!!!!haha!!!

After that, went for Xmas shopping with Tham!!!!!!!!Crazy!Faintssssss!!!!We picked lots of stuff, and had a hard time filtering!!!But really turned on my Xmas mood!!!haha!!!Since Tham has already cleaned up his place and decorated the Xmas tree, I'd better move my butt and do something!!!

Oh yeah!!!And out of the blue, I received this sms from a girl from my camp for Youths at risk during June this year!!!Basically she was telling me about her life now, and how she was thankful for my advice last time, and how she considered me as her role model!!!Of course, I can tell you a trillion zillion reasons for me to be disqualified as anyone's role model!!!But I guess it's not who I am to make her say such thing, it's really who I am TO HER!!!Yeah!!!Sometimes the little things we do dont seem to be so little for the ones at the receiving end!!!Like how her sms did brighten up my whole day!!!And kept me smiling to myself!!!Sooo Heartwarming!!!You take care too Varsha!!!!

My schedule from next week onwards wil be SprDpr packed!!!St John Island trip with church, YMCA camp! So I take leave from work for like one whole week! (Vincent has been screaming at me!!!Okay!At least I will still be at work on Tue afternoon, then after that we go and catch a movie k!No Winx!!!!)!After YMCA is RHEMA Conference!!!Want to invite JLou to come, and XiuXiu as well so that they can see Jess acting on the skit!!!Tiring rite!!!

Okay!And Chop and Ngan will be back real soon!!!Cant wait to see Chop at Ycamp!!!!

Bye friendsssss!!!!
