went for the starwars exhibition yesterday with elissa. yay!
met twinnie at jurong east mrt then we walked to science centre! hoho.
people were staring at me in my school u [according to elissa people stared at her too!] i think they thought i was playing truant. but peiling never plays truant!
then we walkedto science centre! and we saw the sec4s. and quite a few sec4 gb seniors. and we saw mrs quah. think they were pretty amused. and it wasnt that we were too free so we went to the science centre. we went there for a reason: STARWARS EXHIBITION!
i shall make all of you jealous by putting up pictures. hoho.
oh but before that i shall show you pretty photos i took when i went to ubin a long time ago... i dug them out from somewhere in my folder. hopefully i will find somemore!
now on to starwars.
displays outside the exhibition.
ah super cool models.
posters.
the above poster is a limited edition poster because it was never publicised and few people have actually seen it like in real life! [and elissa and i have seen it. hoho]. because there's an error. can you spot it? twinnie could! even before the guy told us.
this is the correct poster. can you spot why the previous poster was not used in the end? because...
it's against the jedi's nature to take revenge.
jubba.
super cool drawings/sketches/paintings.
darth vader looks really cool right? so black. so cool! speaking of darth vader here are somemore.
this thing is super cool. you go inside and speak something and it will come out in darthvader's voice. hoho. ive a sound recording of darthvader speaking!
the above was painted. super tedious.
can see the sunrays. the sun is rising.
i shall show you how pro the twinniebeanies are.
we topped it twice! we topped it the first time but by the time we took out our camera the screen had changed. so we did it again! and look carefully. we took half the time the tim person took to complete it and we got 8/10 compared to his 6/10. hoho. do we rock or do we rock. actually, it should be does elissa rock or does elissa rock. hehh.
super cool right? i still have a lot of photos. the drawings are like wow. if you want you can ask me and i can send you! go to the science centre for the starwars exhibition! and elissa and i went to the foley studio thing. which was super cool! and really fun. it's all your sound and stuff. amazing how you can use simple stuff and turn them into something so cool.
after starwars we went to taka to meet with some shirim people before going for shirim. we reached there at like 125-130 because we left science centre late. hoho. the exhibition was too captivating. i love to play the pipes. but i suck at them. eeyer.
gosh. photoblogging is so fun! you just put pictures pictures and more pictures.
going for bukittimah thing later. eeyer should have gone for canopy walk. but nevermind, at least i have sherlyn to keep me company! and jo and cas and bobo. hoho.
yay sherlyns taking mrt with me to school later! and then we will go to orchard to go buy choc for evan as part of her bday present. heh.
hoho just realised i havnt been seeing my board. maybe my board is inactive and is dead. :o okay nevermind. too lazy to go check it and reply tags. bleargh. replying tags is pretty tedious sometimes. oh well shall go check it the next time i post or something.

was doing on John. and came to the part when peter denied being a disciple of Jesus, when asked "you are not one of his disciple are you?"
then i asked myself.
do i stand up for God?
it's really easy to stand up for God and what i believe in when im in church or when im with christians or whatsoever. but it's easy to compromise what i believe in or maybe even temporarily forget what i believe in when im with others.
i may not say "i am not a follower of Christ" but through my words, through my actions, or even by my silence, i am already following others who do not follow Christ. i dont want to stand out as different and i sometimes i think i get swept along with the tide unintentionally.
so comes the decision that i have to make: qualification by God vs qualification by others- something mr marc touched on during camp. it's easy to say "qualification by God is more important" yes i know that, it's a definite thing. but sometimes it's really hard not to want to be qualified by others.
it's tough to listen to my voice among the voices of others.
it's even more challenging to listen to His voice admist all the voices of the world, which are trying to confuse me over and over again.
it's easy to drift away from God, since the views of the world are what we hear most often, and these views tend to leave God out.
then i think again. and ask myself.
do i compromise the truth for the sake of pleasing others?
have i lost my passion for standing up for the truth?
to be tolerant and to be accepting is supposed to be a good thing isnt it?
but what happens if it evolves into something such that i compromise the truth?
why do i not confront others sometimes when they hold the wrong views and insist that they are correct?
why do i hold back and fail to teach and preach God's word?
is it because
i would rather please men than God?
i fear men more than God?
has my tolerance come to the point that
i dont challenge others when they're in danger of compromising the gospel?
i dont challenge others when i know that what they say is against the Bible?
if that's the case, my tolerance is killing them.
because it has come to a point when my care for them has turned into such that i dont care when their eternal destiny is at stake.
and now staring at the sentence that i have just typed, i suddenly feel afraid. i feel worried.
how many times have i just stood there and watch as they slip away.
how many times have i just stood there and watch as they become overwhelmed by the darkness.
how many times have i just stood there and watch as they drift further away from God.
how many people have turned away from God because i failed to correct them?
how many people have turned away from God because i was afraid to correct them?
how many people have turned away from God because i "cared too much for them" to correct them.
incidents whereby i should have stood up and said firmly, no you are wrong etc. are gone. and it's too late now. why? because the weeds have grown so fast that now they are rooted in the person and it becomes more difficult for me to get rid of it. and the worst thing is, i could have done it when the weeds hadnt grown.
all my thoughts have been a wakeup call for me.
ive been getting wakeup calls these few days. which is good.
because it's time for refreshment. it's time for renewal. it's time for regeneration.
you ask me what i choose?
i choose
God's qualfication over men's qualification.
God's voice over the worlds voice.
Fear of God over the fear of men.
Passion for truth over passion for worldy possessions.
tough as it is.
i will work towards it.

reading hil's post reminded me of the lyrics i had always wanted to put up. because she said something about jars of clay!
it's from jars of clays first album so it's super old, not that it matters. music transcends time and ages! okay that was some random phrase that came to my mind. and i realised that i dont have their first album, and i want to get it! i hope it's still in stores, though somehow i dont think it is.
but anywhow i like this song because it applies to me.
and this seems like the perfect time to put it up.
and therefore it's the song for me. (:
jars of clay- worlds apart
i am the only one to blame for this
somehow it all adds up the same
soaring on the wings of selfish pride
i flew too high and like Icarus i collide
with a world i try so hard to leave behind
to rid myself of all but love,
to give and die
to turn away and not become
another nail to pierce the skin of one who loves
more deeply than the oceans,
more abundant than the tears
of a world embracing every heartache
can i be the one to sacrifice
or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow
to love you- take my world apart
to need you- i am on my knees
to love you- take my world apart
to need you- broken on my knees
all said and done i stand alone
amongst remains of a life i should not own
it takes all i am to believe
in the mercy that covers me
did you really have to die for me?
all i am for all you are
because of what i need and what i believe are worlds apart
and i pray
to love you- take my world apart
to need you- i am on my knees
to love you- take my world apart
to need you- broken on my knees
i look beyond the empty cross
forgetting what my life has cost
and wipe away the crimson stains
and dull the nails the still remains
more and more i need you now
i owe you more each passing hour
the battle between grace and pride
i gave up not so long ago
so steal my heart and take the pain
and wash the feet and cleanse my pride
take the selfish, take the weak,
and all the things i cannot hide
take the beauty, take my tears
the sin and soaked heart and make it yours
take my world apart
take it now, take it now
and serve the ones that i despise
speak the words i cant deny
watch the world that i used to love
fall to dust and thrown away
i look beyond the empty cross
forgetting what my life has cost
so wipe away the crimson stains
and dull the nails that still remain
so steal my heart and take the pain
take the selfish, take the weak
and all the things i cannot hide
take the beauty, take my tears
take my world apart, take my world apart
i pray, i pray, i pray
take my world apart
worlds apart.
