Faith, a word known by many but with different interpretations. Despite it’s diversity of meaning, i guess it’s centered upon religion. To me, faith is most accentuated in the lives of most Christian. However, it is not merely seen through the particular group but in also in our taxing lives.
A while ago, in the midst of my frustrations. I was pierced by the word, faith. A simple word, but has a ripple effect. Simplifying the word faith, it would be trust. On the surface, it seems like an easy task to do. To trust someone- who is greater. But if you were to probe further, it is about trusting the someone greater in the midst of great uncertainties. Surely, there is not much anxiety in trusting someone when everything is smooth sailing. The reverse is also true. To trust someone who is greater out there, when everything else tells you otherwise is one of the toughest thing to endeavor in our lives. It is then, when we have the choice to keep hold on the that line of faith at the edge of the cliff, or simply retreat to the wave cut platform. At that situation, rampant thoughts resonate around our hearts. Depending on how much you know this greater on out there, then it will influence your decision. The battle rages in the mind.
It is not the size of your faith, rather it is who you choose to place your faith in. Admit it, in this life you have to place your faith on someone or somewhere. Why go through the torture of placing it in somewhere that you know that might only give you the spur of pleasure.
Still, i believe. Regardless of all situations, i know you still can be trusted.

i have this sudden propensity to write about a disillusion that might have seemed to deceive many. A common taurine drink that well known to all of us is red bull. As mighty as the bull seem to be, or the catchy phase that is ubiquitous to all- Red bull give you wings. I once advocate to the belief that taurine is the reason to the sudden burst of energy that last insane humans through the night. However, it is not true. 
‘Despite its presence in many energy drinks, taurine has not been shown to be energy-giving.’ -Wikipedia
Alright, i didn’t know that i was deceived by the common norm until today. Thus, there are distorted truths in this world that we live in. The only way to distill them is by knowing the truth. Are you living in a world of self deceived lies?
Anyway, it’s 12.20am now. I have to pull myself through with his strength for the next hour or so to do the complex numbers tutorial. On top of that, i am trying to cramp my one term of econs work into my brain in a day. Apparently, it is still an utopia idea. In short, i have to finish the heap of readings just beside my laptop.

Finally, i can alleviate my eyes from the torturous acts of screening those 19pages of myopic words. Moreover it was a topic i am absolutely clueless about, monetary policy in Singapore. To top it off, a summary of exchange policy with regards to inflation is required. That took me two nights to complete. My eye lids were too heavy last night, then i left 1/4 of the reading to do today. (:
We work so hard because we believe that it will happen. We fast because we want to rely on his strength and we believe that a breakthrough will happen. However, what is the point of fasting is we doubt his ability? Then again, is it just a dieting plan or an act of reliance?
Take a glance on the left side of this laptop, another set of readings to do, complex number and organic chem. What time should i be sleeping?

In just a blink of an eye, the usual bell rings seem to ubiquitous- i wish. Assimilating back to the lectures, tutorials and accelerating stress has been an ease with great dependency on my source of strength. Without hindsight, i can sense the waves of predicament will be crashing upon me soon but i believe i would handle it much more maturely this time round. In short, i will always rely and do my best in all aspects of my life.
We had an awakening of our spirit during north prayer meet yesterday. I left the whole prayer meet with a new level of faith and believe. God will only work to how much we believe. That very same God that answered my prayer for the arrival of bus few years back, during those times when things weren’t alright at home, exams, lives transformation is the very same God with me now. I am not going to belittle him by asking for stuff that doesn’t even require much faith. Hence, this easter, north is asking for 135 and north c is asking for 50! Let the meaning of easter spread like a rapid wild fire across the entire land of North.
Keeping my walk with you strong is all that matters to me. Let my life be a pleasing aroma of worship to you. Alright, time to swim in the ocean of homework.

Contrary to popular belief, i am not a true worshiper of mountain climbing. Certainly, i am intrigued to take on risk such as jumping off a cliff at certain height, dashing through gashing and snaring waterfalls which runs down like a high speed corkscrew motion and loads of other thrilling events. Personally, i feel that i am rather wired up to be a risk taker.
Risks hype out sudden adrenaline and adds colors to a humdrum life.
I enjoyed this march expedition as i soaked myself in to great learnings and personal refreshments!
One major lesson that i have caught from this whole tedious and fatigue climb would as follows:
Obstacles were never meant to be removed, but it is there for him to go through with you.
Pounder and muse upon it.

A gentle smile swipe over my face, when they said pens down on Friday. At least, that was for what i thought that might happen at that instant spot. Indeed, common test has finally come to an end, and life has to move on. This entire week of constant bombarded amount of stress only entices me to lay on my bed during one of the noons. Nevertheless, i thank the source of strength that flows from top-down. Indeed, it was beyond my basic capacity.
Though exams are over, God taught me an intrinsic lesson while i was taking a shower on Friday. It was then, where i realize that i made the most tragic mistake during this common test. Lack of preparation for CT’S was only secondary, but primarily it was about not doubting the source of all wisdom. I realize that in the midst of most of my exams, a sudden surge of uncertainty which might lead a pinch of doubt that hovers around my mind. Gosh, i should have just eradicate those penniless thoughts. From hindsight, i suspect that i might get a string of B’s if all goes well.
It’s all about faith- to trust him. It will continue in faith and end of in faith!
