My secret birthday wish? Its a secret. :)

I want you to know, that today is wednesday. In two days, it will be my birthday. I am not excited about it, because after that, comes monday where I have a paper. I want you to know, that on my birthday, I refuse to eat leftovers and if you tell me not to eat ice cream with milo, I will not listen to you. I want you to know, that on my birthday, I will be studying. Most of all, I want you to know, that I had fun last friday. And, that I love you guys for making it absolutely fantastic and so much fun. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you all you amazing people for turning up and those that didn’t, I still love you guys :D By the time this photo was taken, quite a few people had left. But here’s the majority (:

And this is why I love these girls. Because we don’t know when the switch is on 4 instead of one. Will be back in Singapore soon. Exams now. Singapore soon. Food, parents, home, grandmas, good home cooked food, isaac, family. Family.

Today I was lying on the grass with a friend and we were commenting on how nice it is to finally have clear blue skies and to feel the warmth of the sun on our skin. And then, it became too hot. The sun over here is so bright, and you can just feel it burning. But I think I am slightly darker. I think. Hmm.

Tomorrow’s my birthday party, and I’m quite excited for it! Pray that its a nice warm day, with clear blue skies again. Pray that everything will run smoothly and the food will be good, no flies please! Also, pray that there be enough food and most of all, that everyone has fun. Although my birthday isn’t for another week, its SWOT VAC next week and we’ve all got studying to do.

Oh yes, I have currently finished the last class of the second year of my ugrad science degree. I am actually quite intimidated cos next year, it’ll be my third year and there are those my age who just started their degree not too long ago. Scary much! But everything’s going alright I guess. haha!

Singapore, soon. Party first, and then FULL STEAM AHEADDDD. Seriously.

I have done it. I think my mom will flip when she sees my hair, but, I love it. It takes 2mins to dry! Why have the boys been keeping this secret from us for so long? Short hair, is awesome. Although slightly cold at time, and the fact that i can feel the wind on my neck and ears, other than that, I love short hair. I might just keep this hairstyle. Hmm. Mom, when you see the photo, please don’t freak out. To refresh your memory:

BEFORE

AFTER

It looks good doesn’t it? :D The back’s really short but all the photos I attempt to take with photobooth, I just look really weird.

Other than that life changing decision, I’ve been studying and so haven’t had much time to update. Might update more now cos of exams, or I might get too tired of typing and just decide not to update. Oh well.

CHURCH IS GONNA BE AWESOME! (: Super excited to see the changes (: Mighty Men conference just ended, the very first MM conference and apparently it was amazing. I’m so proud of you guys, and I can’t wait to see how much God has moved!

I guess my obsession with blueblacks came when I was a kid and my parents hit me. Okay, they didn’t, and I don’t know where this love for purple/green/blue skin came from. Don’t ask me how I get them either, cos I don’t know. I hardly ever remember how most of my spots come from. But I love looking at the color of my skin change from my skin color, to a bluish purple, or a green. If you bear the pain and keep rubbing the centre of the spot, it’ll gradually turn into a donut. The purple on the outside, the centre your regular skin color. I got one not too long ago, on my right thigh. It was gorgeous, dark blue and green. No, I don’t get blueblacks on purpose just because I like looking at them. I’m sorry if I start to freak you out. Everyone has their own little quirky thing which everyone else thinks is weird, but it actually isn’t.

I am going to own a mustang in the future. A red mustang with white seats.

I think I did the right thing, I think.

I would like to cut my hair. Short. Its called the pixie cut. Like Keira Knightly:

Now, won’t that be nice on me? :) My mom doesn’t want me to cut my hair though.

Oh wow, a guy is singing ‘Music of the Night’ from Phantom of the Opera on Australian Idol. Very very very cool. Rove is up next! Yahoooo!

Short hair, long hair, short hair, long hair. I just don’t like my hair now. I would like to watch Phantom of the Opera, the musical. Like the real one. SAY DOUBLE WOOTS TO SHEPHERD’S PIE! :D

Hello!

One of my best friends drew this amazing picture representing each of us. She drew it from a picture, but pretty cool nonetheless. One of the years in mg, she drew a picture of tigger and pooh. Like a huge one. And then painted it. Super cool.

Tell me my best friend is cool. Eh, sleepover soon! Miss you girls. Aiyah, J, you’re too far away!

Dear God,

Hello! This is your daughter, Grace. I think you’re amazing. Absolutely amazing. I mean, you created the whole world and the heavens and the water and you created me! That’s amazing.

I just have one simple request. You made such a lovely day today. The sun, the wind, the heat after winter. Its so nice to finally be in spring! I know I should have taken advantage of the day that you gave today, but well, I didn’t. And it was a HUGE mistake. I would so love it if you could turn back time and go backwards. This time I promise that I will go and make use of the day you have created. I will go for a walk, and talk to people. I guess I just wasn’t up to it today or yesterday. Wasn’t up to dressing up or anything, just felt like staying at home. I promise if I had a redo, I’d go out and do something. I’d go out and meet up with people, or talk to someone. But I am going out for dinner soon, so I guess that’s okay. But I would like another of today. Another day like today, or even nicer. I would like another day more. Just one more day.

Won’t you like one more day as well? I would like to rewind, and rewind and rewind. I would like to go back to when I was a kid, and the only thing I needed to worry and think about was school and homework. I think its me not leaving the house, not getting sunshine, and not getting any social interaction that’s talking. But, I guess there’s more on my mind huh? (:

Thank you God, for everything.

I love you.

Grace, your daughter.

They teach us in church that spiritual warfare isn’t fighting against the devil, its fighting to keep the devil in his place, and that we’re fighting from the victory. Now I’m just wondering why anyone would want to be on the devils side. I mean seriously, you’re not supporting someone who has a shot at winning, you’re supporting someone who has already lost, and is a really really really sore loser. I’d take God and Jesus having the victory, and all that God has planned for me plus eternity in heaven. Now that, I’m looking forward to. Knowing that this isn’t the end really helps, because soon, we’re all gonna be jumping and praising God in heaven(: Now that, I’m looking forward to. I love just standing and enjoying His presence, soaking up and being surrounded by His love. Its amazing!

Last night, a friend of mine was telling me about a breakthrough her family had through prayer. I think its amazing what God can do. I’m counting my blessings!

Pastor Russell is doing a whole series on dreams, and dreamers. Its amazing, listening to what dreams different people have. Its not just any dream, but their God given dream. You know, if you see it, believe it, and present your request to God, it will come to past. I know what I’m believing for, what are you believing for?

I am counting on, I am counting on God.
