Complete
So I lift my eyes to You, Lord
In Your strength will I break through, Lord
Touch me now, let Your love fall down on me
I know Your love dispels all my fears
Through the storm I will walk on, Lord
And by faith I will walk on, Lord
Then I'll see, beyond my calvary one day
And I will be complete in You.

WOW it's been ages since I last blogged, I wonder if there are still people who read my blog. Hm. HAAAHA!
J2 life has hit me really hard, more so in the past week, when we were going through our tests and MSAs as well as our schedule for the next semester and all (getting to know all the block test dates and everything). My horrendous MSA results really woke me up, more so because I'm J2. I mean, in J1 we all aimed to just pass promos and we were all happy, but now seeing our MSAs, it really hits you hard because it's As THIS YEAR AND IT WILL AFFECT YOUR UNIVERSITY COURSE AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. Seems to be the same old mantra that many are chanting.
I've resolved and already made the decision to quit rugby, because of several reasons. Priority one is my injury, which is a rupture of the wala plate ligament (the one that controls extenstion of your finger. I actually wanted to operate on it, because wearing a splint SUCKS and it's so hard to wear it continuously, and it seems that it isnt healing! D: But the doctor (Associate Prof. Teoh, a VERY eccentric man that makes professor dumbledore or Chem Yeo look like a sane man) advised against it because if i had to operate it, i have to operate on the palm side of it, which contains loads of nerves and all, and the surgery would be very complicated and has to be precise. If he just touched a wrong nerve, to quote: "no joke man, you might just disable your whole hand and you can then be captain hook."
so in the end, splinting treatment for the next 3 months.
maybe God was also calling on me to prune this area in my life, so that i have more time to do church work and all, or to do more bible study and quiet time. I mean, I don't sense growth in the area, perhaps it's something I need to prune.
It was quite interesting today because I just came back from a dinner with Joel and Shaun and Zheng and we went to Jerry's@ Jalan Kayu. Zheng asked us if Cell leadership was something we consider and he also pointed out that since I have more time now, why not commit? But above all, seek God in this.
I'll definitely be praying, and for all you out there who are reading this, pray for me too if God wants me to lead a cell, may He tell me or give me a sign.
My current cell (the Bridge cell) is going great with our regular meetings and our marathon trainings. I mean, if you come to think about it, my cell only got together officially last year when we broke off from the younger guys led by Desmond and Yang and Kimberly, and since then we have become really close to each other, treating each other as brothers and able to share all our struggles together and being one great unit. I really love my guys man, they are like my closest friends in church and all. And victor, oh man. what a great cell leader. I treasure our regular meetings on friday and all, and also the great funny times we had with JK and Jeremy and all.

"None But Jesus"
In the quiet, in the stillness
I know that you are God
In the secret of your presence
I know there I am restored
When you call I won't refuse
Each new day, again I'll choose
There is no one else for me
None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free
Now I live to bring Him praise
In the chaos, in confusion
I know you're sovereign still
In the moment of my weakness
You give me grace to do your will
When you call I won't delay
This my song through all my days
There is no one else for me
None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free
Now I live to bring Him praise
All my delight is in you Lord
All of my hope
All of my strength
All my delight is in you Lord
Forevermore
