wat is fasting? to me, it's basically abstaining from something that matters to me whether it is food, internet even people.... denying myself things dat i usually take for granted... things dat may be BIG to me and even to an extend may cloud my view of God... eating, sleeping, msn ing on their own is not wrong but these things do take up a lot of my time n suddenly i find myself actually free to do other things... to focus on God and to focus on wat i am contending for...not to let the other stuff in life to sorta deter me... u no, i m bad at focusing, multitasking is not a big problem. can do quite a few things at 1 go... hehe...
altho must say i was never much good at fasting... i m very "tam ciak" la... so ar...fasting is quite tortuous for me... but o well, if i survived 1 wk...think a day should not be too hard, altho sometimes it feels like forever and when everybadi's eating, okie, have to remind myself, focus gal... u r fasting... it's a form of self control... to make my body submit to my brain, more like
ignoring hunger pangs and jus watever, i m blogging, buzz off! hehe...
all in all, i think it's a good thing. besides feeling very hungry n sometimes grouchy.... to actually focus not on the things dat i m abstaining from but to focus on God and to seek Him... hard la, when i m hungry n stomach making lotsa noises n when n i miss somebadi like heck... perseverance is the key... and building something called patience... reminded of wat pastor ashley said last week in church... when we pray... " let Your will be done on EARTH as it is in HEAVEN..." God has already ordained it in heaven but when we pray we bring the spiritual reality and physical reality of it into our lives... contending and believing God for things are yet to be reality in our lives... do play an important part... yes, it's true dat our efforts are like an ant compared to an elephant's and if we only pray but God choose not to answer... it wouldn't make any difference...however, i believe God is a good God and He wants to give good things to His children....
He said, " All good things come from heaven." " Ask and it shall be given unto you. seek and you shall find." " if even sinners give good things to their children, what more God?" pray wid super FAITH! Matthew 21:22 "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."
and now... i got to go to uni to play ping pong... God, help me not *pengsan* cos i treat myself as if i am a super woman... haha... i feel good tho... in good spirits...
so far, so good.... *smilez*

fruitfulness...
Formula for Fruitfulness - Dr John C. Maxwell
Jesus gives us a three-word formula for fruitfulness in John 15. These three words are the ones I want you to remember because they are the key to fruitful living. The first word is remain. Throughout John 15 Jesus tells us to remain. In fact the word abide in the original language can be translated “remain.” “Remain in Me,” Jesus says. He’s talking about our willingness to take time with Him in prayer and in study of the Word. We need to let Him begin to be part of our lives and work on our lives. The second word in the formula is receive. Jesus says in John 15 that if we remain in Him, we will begin to receive certain things. What we’ll receive is good, fruitful living.
The third word is reproduce. If we remain in Him, we’re going to receive what He has for us. When we receive what He has for us, then and only then will we begin to reproduce in our lives.
remain in Him, receive from Him, reproduce...
fruitfulness has been something i have been contending for, and still is... to have a life that is abundant and to use it to invest in something that would be of great worth and having an effect dat would produce great results.... to me, that's being fruitful...to be effective, to have results, to have an end goal in mind and to achieve that and far beyond.
Father, help me to have God confidence, to know You walk with me... to REMAIN in You, to RECEIVE from You and to REPRODUCE... Your are the Greatest Gardener. although i may the worst ugly, stubborn plant... i somehow believe You can work it out. *smilez*=)
Thank You Lord that You have done it all... Amen.

realised i haven been blogging for ages...have only been posting pictures.... dat's my extend of laziness... i've jus gotten used to this super chill life dat the moment i have stg a bit more stressful i get gwampie all a matter of mind set... and i m trying to convinced myself dat i nit to study more n get my life more organised... x jus cruising ard and hoping things work out for d best... sadness....
but it's going well, actually made myself a studying timetable, wrote down the list of stuff to study, it's alwyas good to have a plan regardlesss of whether i actually follow the plan, another story... haha, ya i no, i m tewwible... but i m actually studying... sigh... i wish i could b lazy tho...jus zzzz zzzz zzzz....i m alwyas slweepie.... except when i msn, blog or frenster...smart ness of my brain... think d levels of serotonin and acethycholine and endorphins all go down simultaneously when i face my books or notes... and the GABA and glutamate increases, i hope i got dat correct ,x study CNS for ages...so might have mixed dat up...
o well, please to say my CVS PE is still quite fine thank God, can kill myself if csu all throw into drain since practise so much in sem 5.... wasted if i x remember any crap but o well, bit of brushing up, learnt some new stuff from d physician, he's good at teaching... n well.... certainly feels loads better after a gwampie day jus cos i had to stay back till 4 30pm for tutorials....sigh....
tutorial is postponed to 3 clock...sigh, i feel okie tho, dat's thanks to taking a sickie today, and in adelaide, dat means, taking the day off even tho i m not sick or not having a valid reason...o well, 1 day break a wk is good for health, after all, x particularly feel like hanging ard day surgery... i m getting over my blood phobia ( it's a small 1) but o well, still x like it...so i m x gonna b a surgeon anyway...
and free food today at the hospital prob made me loads happier, believe it anot we have free food at least 3 times a wk at this hospital and it's good food, d hospital food is actually quite keng even wat they feed d patients except the super lots of jelly which i think i will puke oso if i have to go on soft diet in this hospital dunno how many flavours of jellies...
