Yesterday was B Zone BBQ day! lol...i think barbequeing is now like the in-thing...lol, i have gone for 2 bbqs this hols and i think around 3 this year! i love the crabmeat that i bbqued~ inside is soft whereas outside is like a little hard and its piping hot! there were like 50 of us surrounding the bbq pit in pasir ris park... lol...
yea, watching people i know and i dont know do their weird stuff was quite amusing... lol... i realise pasir ris park got a lot of playgrounds lei! next time i shall go play on every single one of them... haha.
i never experienced such a strong sea breeze. the wind was so strong and er i told sylvia that i was flying away and ivan just had to overhear and he just had to tell people that i said that... well, tw says stupid things sometimes... not to mention that tw does stupid stuff too, for example, asking for a marshmellow with toothpaste without even realising... nicholas was asking gong hua to eat the marshmellow he specially took for her and apparently gong hua sensed that there was something wrong so she adamantly refused to eat it. tw just had to ask for it by insisting that she wants the marshmellow. so gong hua happily stuffed it into her mouth and she happily realised that there was extra filling... why am i using third person narrative? this is the second time i got pranked on... the first time when i just arrived, nelson was so nice he offered me an oreo and when i bit like half of it then he happily revealed that there was extra filling in it too... however, im happy to say that im not the only one... leonard also fell for it and from what i heard, so did ivan... lol
later im going for service!!!

This is a poem and the only piece that i wrote specially for God two years ago on a rainy evening...
The crashing peal of thunder
Heaving turbulent torrents of waves
The thrust of lightning
Splitting
The austere sky in two
Rain peltering down
Threatening to devour
Any offensive signs of life
The sinister laughter of the winds
Mocking the Fall of mankind
The Light of restoration descends
Defying the oppresive darkness
The Light
Jesus
The Lamp
That awakens the spirit within
As sinners cry for salvation
The Star
That adorns the soul
With ornaments of His grace
The thunder bellows
Explosive cries of tormented anguish
Summoning storms that rage ferocious battles in our lives
The Prince of Peace comes
Subduing the vehement storms of
Vengeance
Lightning lashes
A searing scar
Slashed mercilessly across our hearts
The Healer comes
Lathering the hideous wound
With His blood and eternal love
The wind whips
Unleashing
Hatred and contempt
The Almighty comes
Melting the biting frost of fear
With His Word
Transforming them to
Whispers of tenderness and
Songs of Faith
Rain cascades
Clothing the Earth
With the robe of baptism
The King of Majesty comes
Pouring shimmering rays
Of His glory
And His grace
Manifesting the beauty of Heaven
Where the Love lasts forever
I know the structure, the form, the language is not very good even after i edited abit. Dont want to edit too much cuz i want the essence of my 15-yr-oldness to remain. lol. Some parts a little awkward. Actually the first draft of this was very very different. but to me, its just an expression of my awe and love for Him. When i dug this out today, i tot i lost the soft copy cuz i realised i changed com, but luckily i wrote it in a book. Then i just felt so touched, not by my poem but by the awesomeness and love of my God. It was like love all over again. lol. Sounds very mushy but its a different kind altogether, one that i am literally unable to use words to express. lol. haha... i believe all my close friends have felt this love too, so im not the only one and im glad my God loves everyone that He has created.

Finaally im blogging again! have been sleeping and running off to church after i came back from camp and also lazing around, so had no time to blog..
Anyway, ZONE B AND C CAMP WAS AWESOME! I kept praying for a breakthrough in my character before i went for the camp and God answered my prayers! i prayed that i will step out and really enjoy my time and make new friends in church and not fear anymore, cuz i still rmb last year i had a nervous breakdown and was getting so jittery just cuz we wont be staying in our cg, but rather in our assigned camp teams. CAMP was really really awesome manx! i miss it now!
besides the activities, what i really liked was free and easy whereby we can just do wadeva we want to and quoting Roy 'its not the activities that hold the camp together, but rather the relationships with people.' and yes i agree! thats why i really love free and easy! can just spend time with ppl and the cg and just talk or have qt! of course, can also bathe, wah, bathing in the bathrooms of my church was so comfortable can!
the activities was fun and my beloved team was christened 'GIDEON KNIGHTS'. lol, cool eh, but well we were second overall, just lost by a margin to 'HEROSE' yep, i din spell wrongly, its really HEROSE. LOL.
Parachute band was wild and the best of all was REVIVAL NIGHT where Charleston really preached about 'Others can, I cannot!' Charleston, u are awesome! I love you! And then the leaders prayed for us all, and i really fell under the presence of God, no one was pushing cuz samantha was just holding my hands and then the presence of God just came. Samantha prophesied and i rmb so clearly 'Everything you touch will prosper...'
It came from God so it must be true! And i was never before so convicted to rise up, to grow, to carry the burden of the church, to assist the leaders in building the church! I rmb God asked me while i was on the floor..'Do you dare?' 'Do you dare to believe?' 'Do you dare to have the others can, i cannot mentality?' WOW! And as we shared later on together, so many ppl had visions and they are so going to grow! i believe it! joel and wee kiat, you all are like WOW! lol. Joel, you shall enjoy every min of your QT and wee kiat, you are going to be that bright white shining gate that ushers ppl into the kingdom of God! And i also rmb God speaking to me in the middle of service on sat. He told me that i am going to be a leader in my school, a spiritual leader. i dont noe how, but its going to come to pass. im having faith cuz He told me not to be dismayed! MY GOD IS AMAZING! but the weird thing in the world is that when ppl speak to God, they call it prayer, but when God talks back to them, they call it schizophrenia. lol
And then the last night of camp was even more cool! i think for two days, i only slept like 2 hrs altogether. Really felt like fainting after 4 am cuz we had games and celebrated Charleston's, Yassy's and Ivan's b'day! for the first time in my life, i actually felt the real sensation of going to faint. but God brought about another breakthrough... we decided to worship and praise Him after 4 am and at first, i was like when is it going to end? i really want to faint le.... but then fe prayed over me and she said that i was a jewel uncut and all my doubts and fear are like debris preventing me to shine. God is going to cut all these away and though it may be painful, but if i continue to trust in Him, the jewel will shine. WOW! then i really gathered all my strength and my heart just burst with worship for Him and i kept singing and praying and before i knew it, it was already 5.06 am! i had a breakthrough in my worshipping!
it is HOGC's tradition that every last night of camp, if anyone was found sleeping, haha, that person will really get it manx. Chew and some other ppl went around squeezing toothpaste on pple's face while they were slping. So me and fe also caught the flow and well, i sort of instigated her to put toothpaste on JO's face. So fe went and put one big glob on JO's nose and nelson went to add on his cheek. But Jo's weird. haha, we wanted to see his reaction when he woke up but he told us that he knew that he had toothpaste on his face but then he was too tired and so he din bother but went back to slp, thus smuding the floor cuz he is a very active sleeper...
And alvin also kenaed by gong hua! such a big glob on his face and thanks to gong hua, it went into his eye... My dear gong hua has a talent for not aiming properly and squeezing toothpaste on pple's eye. i was one of her victim... its more painful than refreshing actually to have the white stuff in your eye... and i finally drifted off to slp on the cafe table at 8 am. well done tw!
yea, i really really miss staying overnight in church now, the encounter with God was truly amazing and im so so relieved i came admist all the jitters i felt at first. ok, this is a really long post, but my heart is brimming with so much stuff i dont noe how to make it shorter. if u read to the end, congrats, cuz u have know tw so much more better now! lol...

Yesterday's CG was powerful! We are gonna break through 1000! However, it goes beyond the numbers, it means that there are going to be more ppl saved, more ppl with their lives touched by the love of God, more ppl finding their purpose and destiny in life, more ppl healed of their hurts and finding the strength to move on in life, more ppl finding their place of belonging in the House of God! From the hundreds to the thousands, its such a breaking point and i want to hop onto God's wave and be a part of this revival!
S16's bbq was GREAT too! full of fun and crapping lala and chocolatey marshmellows! haha. well, despite getting lost and having to run most of the time to find my way, the time spent with the class was really cool. Thanks twin enya and pearlyne for barbequeing food for us, i really marvel at your abilities to actually cook the food properly. most of the bbqs i went had food that were a little weird and slightly raw... haaha...
im sorry that i ate so much...dots...
oh and ryanna, your hair looks great with the fringe and all! haha. violet brown sia... and i hope the scholars have a safe journey home~!

haha! i had this random tot today to look back into my life so i went to really read the really really long posts that i had written.
And i realised:
my blog posts last time were emo... had a lot of wrong stuff in it. Mainly they were all about korean guys, korean series, my infatuations, my feelings, things that happen to me etc etc. On the whole, it was just no life. Basically, one word can sum up the whole load of things i blogged about: ME... in the past, i was only concerned about myself, me me and nothing else but me... i actually felt a little disgusted by myself while reading all the posts that i posted last time. THEY WERE ALL FILLED WITH FRIVOLOUS STUFF AND WRONG MENTALITIES!
I see the difference, maybe im not very good either now, but there is a difference... my posts now are more joyful and less emo, more God-filled instead of just me me and me. The whole world doesnt owe u something ting wei! haha! I am so glad, thank God for helping me and healing me! if not i would be moping around somewhere confusing myself day after day...
The old tingwei full of scabs had died...now there are only scars in the new Ting Wei!- the evidence of a once painful life completely HEALED by the blood and love of Christ!
Live a LIFE of JOY, PEACE AND LOVE! BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE!

Hi hi! im just blogging for the sake of blogging... haha... i dont want to feel emo too often le...emo is just really letting ur feelings overwhelm u and ur thinking... would rather i control my own emotions...
Emo and feeling sad for others is different! emo is usually self-centered.. God, break my heart with what break yours but pull me away from emo! i shall have a big heart for others... i shall call forth the things that are not as those they were! this is not self-delusion...this is an act of FAITH! and God works through faith!
yay, its the hols manz! so many exciting things coming up in church! Getting Started bible study series followd by Enrichment classes followed by Zone B and C camp followed by Vacation Bible School followed by Christmas followed by New Year's Eve! WOW! i still rmb the time a few yrs back when i would stone or simply waste my time away during the hols, perpetually doing nothing... the outings were also few and the fun was also momentary... but hey, i look forward to this hols! cuz i know my life would be changed, my soul refreshed, my spirit more on fire than ever and ready to go back to school!
im amazed at the joy and peace in my heart that is only God-given... even if im not happy, i still have the joy of God in me and this is something that keeps me going, that gives me the courage to smile and be myself even if the situation seems to be real pressing. i rmb once i really felt so emotionally stressed and traumatised i was so desperate to have peace in my heart... i asked a few times and it din really come, so in my desperation, i repeated a verse 'trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight' two times and miraculously, God's peace just really filled me. It was so precious at that time that i just sat still, refusing to move for fear that the peace would go away. eventually i had to but the peace really stayed. As usual, God nvr fails to amaze me nor fail to always be with me...
