You are my strength

With my next exam in less than 2 hours, I should be feeling stressed. Shouldn't be blogging and should be studying/praying/eating breakfast/preparing stationery. I just realised that I have a bad habit of blogging before exams. Not sure if it is due to low stress level or excessive stress. Could be a result of 'head trauma' from the fall yesterday (more details after my exam). Favourite song of the day:

You are my strength

You are my strength
Strength like no other
Strength like no other
Reaches to me

You are my hope
Hope like no other
Hope like no other
Reaches to me

In the fullness of Your grace
In the power of Your Name
You lift me up
You lift me up

Unfailing love
Stronger than mountains
Deeper than oceans
Reaches to me

Your love O Lord
Reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness
Reaches to the skies

Beautiful in Your eyes or mine?

I always thought that I am cool. Not girly-cool but neutral gender-cool, Sharon-cool. My heart was shattered (jokes) when I was told "You are not cool. You are sweet." My heart was screaming "I wanna be cool, I wanna be cool. Sweet is not my thing!" Well, I guess now I can finally kiss goodbye with my illusion that I am a cool girl.

Listening to 'Beautiful in Your eyes or mine?' (Composed by *drumroll* Mrs Yeo!), I realised that at times in life, it's easy for us to say "I am too ....., I want to be ......" The comment that Jacqueline made was really true: "We will never stand before an artist and say aiyo why your art so ugly." Why should we then, do this in front of God, the mighty artist? We are beautiful in God's eyes. God created us and He obviously knew what He was doing and was good at His job.

Let this serves as an encouragement to everyone out there: God created us to be good, smart, talented, handsome, pretty, cool, sweet, awesome, able to pass exams with flying colours so do not ever believe that you are not good in any way.

Enough of the serious stuff, now on to the real topic of the day: HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAZA!

You have really being a blessing in my life and I am glad that I had the honour of getting to know you better throughout our time together in Dunedin. Continue to be God's light, holding out the truth in the darkest place and shine like a shiner!


Birthday Girl~

Awesome Sunday

Got home last night and saw this next to the lift


Not :) at all, considering that I live on 8th floor. Took me a while to reach my room due to the fact that I was quite tired. Just when I was resting and trying to catch my breath, the fire alarm went off!!!

1ish in the morning, off I go again, down the stairs onto the field in front of Unicol. We waited in the cold for more than half an hour because some really "smart" students think that it's funny to smear margarine on the walls and put the remainder in the microwave and turn it on.

Well, it's NOT funny:
1. the whole place just smelt burnt
2. the false fire call out costed $1300
3. we all have to walk back up the stairs to get back to our rooms

Totally did not appreciate the humour behind the 'joke'. Turned out that I was not the only one that think it's not funny. The deputy master aka the boss aka the person running the place locked us outside and semi-screamed at us for 5 minutes.

This morning, Alabaster Box from Australia came to Nations Christian Church! Loved the instruments, leather jackets and cool hairstyle.


Soundcheck
The keyboardist looks so cool, playing both keyboards at the same time

The sermon by Naarah (the lead singer) was really awesome. She shared about how as Christians, sometimes we can become numb to our surroundings and do not make a difference in the world. Her friend and her was driving to a Christian music festival once, and on their way, by the side of the road was a guy who appeared drunk, half on the pavement and half on the road. They brought the guy to the police and turned out that the guy was having a diabetic episode and needed insulin. Sometimes we can become so used to things happening around us that we forget to shine for Christ and to make a difference in this world.


Love this photo taken by Alex: University of Otago's Clocktower


Spent the night at Janice, Jocelyn, May and Sharon's flat. Had Jocelyn aka Kakak prepared steak for us. Bloody juicy rare steak. Enjoyed the time fooling around and talking to everyone. I will definitely miss these days for years to come.
