compulsory yoga for everyone, in my dear school, jurong junior college. and i've made my stand very clearly before, that i will never never never compromise. i will not give in to this compulsory thing, not because i want to find trouble, i want to rebel, i want to attract attention, i want to act holy, but because i want to make a stand for God. people wun understand what is so bad about yoga, it has so much health benefits and it's so much more relaxing than the usual pc we have, and it is not religious at all! they think we christians are just too strict. they wun envy us, because to them, we seem like we have so much restrictions, so many things that we cannot do. they think," what a tough life to lead if you're tied down to a religion, especially christianity. i would rather be a free man and i will take charge of my own life, what a carefree life that will be."

honestly, when i hear that we cannot do yoga, i was skeptical. but then later when i knew that yoga was created by the hindu monks centuries ago as a sort of meditation exercise i knew that i simply cannot bring myself to do it. yes, all that talk about how they've modified it.. it all comes down to this, they just dun get it why must we kick up such a fuss. do then do la, what's the problem.. u all christians.. sth wrong with your perception, nth wrong with yoga wat... sometimes, i get swayed by what the world thinks, and i even doubt if i really want to stand by my own belief. Yet, i cannot deny that God is not real and that the whole thing about jesus dying for us on the cross is a lie in itself. i know that God is indeed real and He's closer to us than we could ever imagine. knowing this, how can i bear to go the other way round. others seek their own ways to heaven, others dun believe in heaven at all, and i can't think the same way too cos i know it in my heart that God is for real and not an illusion. i cannot bring myself to go with the flow.. and i have to find some way not to participate in it. i know that others will think dat if im not a christian den i wun have these kind of troubles. well, the thing is im glad that i have these kinds of troubles. it brings me much closer to God. Jesus suffered persecutions way more serious than these long ago. Yet he went on with His strong belief in God and since God is with Him, no one can be against Him.

my school has compulsory yoga. everyone has to do it, no exceptions they say. but since God brought me to this school, He will bring me through it all.

gb and bb enrolment service today. oh, it's so nolstalgic! sarah is an officer already!woohoo! also, a girl from nhh 69th coy received christ today! sth really important we learnt is that u could never tell who are the persons around you who are having problems. they may look very normal on the outside but u could never tell if they cry secretly at night. sometimes they just can't someone to whom they can pour they heart out. these people, they cry out for some form of release and they seek a person whom will just bother to listen and even understand what they're going through. and God will give them that chance to just know Him.

being in the choir during the worship session seems so fun! im definitely going to join when the next opportunity comes. yiling says that when u're up there and looking down at all the teenagers worshipping God together, the feeling is so awesome no words can describe it..

harry potter's 7th and final book is coming so very soon! AHHH.. i can't wait! im going to buy it first thing in the morning and im going to finish it in one day. without stopping, i will finish it in one breath! yeah.. so excited..
