Forever Alone

As many commemorate this special day of Valentine's Day spending it with their loved ones or that special someone, it always occurred to me whether V Day is a biblical thing to do.

Nevertheless, I won't be celebrating V Day this year since I'm still single. Not really bugged by the fact and not too sure about the next one, but definitely I have another love to rejoice over. The Love of God.

This is for You God. For all You've done, for Your Love, for Your Grace.

People give flowers, lavish gifts and luxurious meals.
Yet Jesus You gave Yourself, Your life.

Nothing compares to You. Nothing.

What are words?

Tonight I thought I could bring a closure to much of my life in hall on NTU campus. I thought that was so...until I finally uncovered the ugly side of it all...

Following the recent win in the IHG Finals for my hall, a VERY VERY offensive write up was posted on the competing hall's website. This despite the very fact that the site is open to public and there are appointed publication heads to moderate what the writers post.

I am very much affected and disappointed.

Not just because of the article, but the fact that I've worked so hard these 3 years to see the team finally entering the finals and clinching the gold medal after 4 years!

Sure we've had a better draw and through the entire season, we were always able to win the games but a slight margin. But the fact that we are in the Finals, doesn't that count for something? Why must one write in such demeaning manner? Is this how people motivate their own by demeaning others?


I don't know why this has gotten hold of me so much...it's already almost 3am and I am still very much worked up inside me. I pray that I will eventually let this go and God forgive me, but I really am affected right now...

Is this why I had to read about PATIENCE for this morning's devotion? Well God, You definitely could not have a more perfect timing than this...

Going for Gold

Humbling journey and an unexpected experience.

Though I was not the critical factor to the success, I rejoice knowing my players have fought their best for the glory of the Hall, for themselves.

This IHG season for the badminton has come to a closure with us clinching the gold medal. We are officially IHG Badminton Champion for 2011/12!

We have been clouded with injuries and the odds seemed to be against us many times, nevertheless we pushed through each encounter and last night, we stood on the courts rejoicing (though we didn't cry!). We cheered, we rejoiced as a team, as a hall because the glorious title of Champion was restored to our hall!

I do hope the team has benefited much this season of walking together on this journey. Indeed I can only give thanks to God being so kind to the team and as one of my team mates prayed, let Your will be done if we were to win, or not. God, may You be glorified in all I do, regardless of the outcome.
