Stress Less
Hi guys, lately I’ve been reading this book titled “Stress Less” by Dr Don Colbert who is a Christian and a friend of Joyce Meyer. He is the author of the bestsellers Toxic Relief, Walking in Divine Health and What Would Jesus Eat.
One of the things Dr Colbert mentioned which I find very practical and useful would be the “Serenity Prayer”:
“God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.”
I think that this prayer is a good way to cast our cares on the LORD, especially when things start to go wrong or not according to our plans. By looking to God in prayer, we can have our focus tweaked and be more sound minded as we attend to the things that we can change and commit to God’s hands things that we simply have no control over.
Gambete to the NUS students still studying hard for their exams!

Transcending Above The Waves
A link to an article a friend of mine dropped in my mailbox with an encouragement to keep on going which I think a lot of us could really use right now. Do take the time to read it. =)

HAPPY EASTER!
heyhey! (:
seems like a really quiet easter on this blog!
HAPPY belated EASTER TO ONE AND ALL! (:
i hope you guys all enjoyed yourselves this easter! with the first class drama and first class preacher one can ask for x) and i sure do hope you guys invited friends to enjoy this season of celebration together! (:
i managed to catch the service online over here! (: the final solution. definitely not the same when you watch it online that's for sure. i got really excited even while watching it. wish i could be back immersed in the joy of the celebration of our risen King with everyone of you guys. i cant imagine how it would be like! x)
anyway, easter over here at Easter iz nowhere near as exciting as back in CHC. so treasure every moment there! (: for me, i invited an irregular christian for service on Easter Sunday (: he enjoyed himself and hopefully he'll feel more integrated and become a regular soon! :D
so yeah! Easter over here in Australia iz pretty much a nation wide event. well, there arent alot of local believers around, but it's funny how they ALL celebrate easter (:
1. Good Friday and Easter Monday are public holidays.
2. Shops are all closed on Good Friday and Easter Sunday
okay, updates!
some things locals do here during Easter annually.
1. On Good Friday, there was a Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal fund-raiser across Australia. Despite the recession, all the bushfires and donations that have been on-going eversince, Australians are never ending in their generousity. A record of AUD$13,862,734 was raised for the children, the hospital facilities and medical researches within the span of ONE day.
2. The Easter bun is called the hot cross bun :D
(Sorry, i forgot to snap a picture of it!) but it looks like a normal pack of 6buns, with raisins and fruitcakey kinda bun. And needless to say, it's got a cross on the top. - and they only bake it during easter! or rather, it's only the "in" thing during easter x)
3. Last but not least.
Easter iz celebrated here with its MILLIONS of chocolates.
it's either i'm getting forgetful like a old lady, but i dun remember seeing aisles and aisles of Easter chocolates in NTUC or Cold Storage during Easter!
(ps. i'm not refering to the normal confectionery bars of chocs..)
this iz but only one section towards the end of easter
literally rows and rows of chocolate bunnies.
den, there's the rows and rows of chocolate eggs.
the branded chocolates are in the egg business as well! Cadbury, crunchie, timeout, mars, lindt.. countless!
In other words, for any regular aussie here, the first word you would tink of when you think of Easter iz chocolates.
The best kind of solace for assignments and exams (:
Way to go to all who's studying for exams!

When you are free, do check out this song titled "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus- the lyrics are rather meaningful and applicable, especially in our walk with God.
