Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you. (1 Tim 4:16)

Peng's Daily Study Tip #7

Tip #7 - Revise your past test/exam papers

The worse thing you can do is to make the same mistake twice, not learning from your mistakes. Tests and exams help you to be clear of which areas you are better and which areas you need to work on. By ignoring them, you are actually wasting quite a precious resource!

When you revise your past test, it will be much more clearer to you than if you start on another ten-year series question because it will be the 2nd or 3rd time you are reading that question and you are clear of how you couldn't answer and struggled. By looking at the answers, you will also learn how to properly answer them. (Provided that you got copy down the correct answers!) You will realise that you will learn a lot more if you go through your past papers than you just read your notes. Remember to add to your notes what you have learnt from reviewing your past papers. That way you can refer to your mistakes easily and not forget them!

Remember, don't make the same mistake twice. Because it is stupid to do so. This is Peng's Daily Study Tip sponsored by greataps.blogspot.com. Let me know if my study tips have helped you in any way. Tag in my cbox.

Fierce Wind struck fear in me

11 The LORD said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by."
Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. 13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.
(1 Kings 19:11-13)

Early this morning at about 3:30am, a fierce wind tore through the my block. It caused me to wake up and try to close the windows. Even with the windows closed, i could hear the howling so clearly and loudly. The trees at the field were really swaying and the rustling of the leaves filled the silence of the night. Then something felt with a loud thud just a few floors below my room. I even went over to my brother's room to close his windows too. I couldn't go back to sleep for a while. The constant howling made me feel so vulnerable even though I'm in the safety of my room. A weird experience. There has never been such a strong wind through my years of living there. And i just felt fearful. Then i realised how powerful God is - how He is in control of everything. I was crying over my inability to accept God's will on certain issues to a point i felt hate towards God's inflexible plan just before i slept that night. I know that God's will is perfect and all, but it was rather hard to be convicted by it. But I guess I'm quite convinced now...

Being on fire listening to God’s word

It has been a long time since I’ve so enjoyed myself listening to a sermon. Not only was I paying attention throughout the whole sermon, I actually kept copying notes and understood clearly what the Bishop John Tan was teaching! I was teaching Spy001 on how to study the bible the day before and after much consideration, I decided to get them to practice their observation skills on today’s sermon passage. The observation prior to the sermon helped a lot as I was able to identify the verse whenever he explained the text.

The feeling was amazing. It was like how they usually described it - a hunger and a thirst for the richness of God’s word. I was basically copying throughout the sermon and only left out the examples and analogies he gave. I could hardly contain my excitement. I was like wow that’s a good observation… oh that’s the context… so that’s why Jesus repeated the point… Wow there’s so much deeper meaning to it…. And so on…

But I felt kind of weird. A bit discouraged at how come others don’t see it as exciting as I do. At the end of the service, it seemed like I was the only one telling others how clear he taught the passage… Why the deadness? Is it really because God’s word to them is no longer that exciting? Or have the attitude towards sermons became like just another lecture they have to sit through? Or maybe they understood what was taught but didn’t really show it?

Then I felt burdened. Why did God give me that joy in studying His word? Who am I to deserve such a privilege? I mean God can choose to withhold His word from me and I can never understand it. I have learnt in 1 Samuel how the word of God can be absent from the people even though a system has been set up to listen to it. We can have people teaching but God can withhold understanding from us… What does this mean then? I know the joy is not something I can impart for that can only be given by God. But what I can do is that I must teach and apply what I understood.

I belong to Jesus’ flock. I am a sheep of God. I want to listen to His voice and follow Him. Will you listen to His voice and follow Him?

April is ending

Was i too comfortable with the routine life that i've allowed time to pass without reflecting much? I had been reflecting... Just that when life gets into a routine, time begins to fly...

It is now a month since i've started working as a temp in Lenovo. My March's fast-paced eventful days has turned into a slow crawl! Compared the whole list of things i had to do in March, April was a lot more peaceful. It was rather unexpected because I am working. But within the work itself, God gave me the time i needed to be really rooted to His word. During my free time in office, I've listened to John Macarthur's teachings, studied on Romans passages for Sun Sch, planned lessons and visited blogs. The peaceful environment made it most conducive to study! I thank the Lord for His word how the more i study it, the more I desire to study more and also proclaim its accurate message!

For April, we had the Buddy Race, Easter Sunday. Then i had to teach a lesson on the face of Christ and there were mentoring sessions and that's all. Everyone is also quite focused in studying as the exam period is here.

Yet the Christian life is never too peaceful. There were a few struggles i had to face and overcome. But i thank the Lord for how I never fall outside of His grace - how He is always in control and how I am still being spared from consequences i should face.

This year still holds many exciting things for me. There's going to be the Leaders' Retreat, Sentosa Event, Youth Alpha, Mission Trip Recce to Thailand, Entering Uni life, leading Spy001, leading the youth mission team to Thailand, the Christmas event... So many things the Lord has prepared... By the end of this year I must decide on my future, after being given so much exposure to the various things i could be doing... I cannot live life without planning for that is irresponsible!

Peng's Daily Study Tip #6

Tip #6 - Make your own notes

This is just my personal practice and advice. Reading notes, textbooks and examples help. But the best way to start revising is to make your own notes. When you make your own notes, your impression of the topic will be a lot more greater than just reading it. You will know exactly what is taught, and you roughly have an idea which parts are more important than others. Should you stumble upon a concept you are unsure or cannot understand what the textbook is saying, ask someone (pref your own teacher) for help. Then once you understand, write it in your notes such that the next time you read, you will understand.

Your own notes will be become very personalised because you would have placed more emphasis on the parts that you find hard to understand. Your notes should be a summary of the textbook not a replicate or it will defeat the purpose of doing it. This will really help on the night before the exam. Instead of reading the textbook again which has too much unnecessary information, you can refer to your summarised notes which you are very familiar with.

Especially for upper sec and JC students, the topics you do will be tested over and over again until your O or A levels. So investing time on the notes will reap a great reward when you revise using it again and again for the next CA or Major Exam.

Peng's Daily Study Tip #5

Tip #5 - Serleep!

It is common for almost for all students to sacrifice sleep at the eleventh hour. Burning the midnight oil seems to help to reduce the guilt of not studying as hard the weeks prior to the exam. While the common answer given is that you should have studied a lot earlier, let us admit that we can never study until we feel totally prepared for the exam no matter how much extra hours we put in.

We all know that our bodies and minds are limited. God designed rest to help us recover from our fatigue. A mind without proper rest cannot function and think as well as a rested and clear mind. You might think spending that additional 3 hours into the night will help you cover all the notes you need, but you might end up losing the focus and concentration and might even forget most of the things you read the night before. It has been shown that when you sleep, the things you have learn will be transferred into another part of your brain - aka you will remember better.

Learning to rest when you should is also an opportunity for you to trust God. It challenges you to depend on God rather than on your own strength to score well in the paper. Of course this is in the context that you had been responsible in studying reasonably the weeks prior to the exam.

Remember, sleep early. Have enough time to pray too!

Peng's Daily Study Tip #4

Tip #4 - Depending on God

You are a child of God. When God calls you to do something, He will enable you. I am sure by now you are clear that it is God who has divinely called you to be a student. Then be assured that God will give you what u need to study and survive the exams.

But how can He help if you refuse to ask? He don't want you to do your best and then turn to Him as the last option when you can't study finish. He wants you to depend on Him throughout the whole process, acknowledging that you are too lousy to do it by yourself.

Pray as you plan your study schedule. Pray each time before you begin studying as you would when you study the bible. Pray after each study session, giving thanks for the concentration and understanding God gave. Pray before your exam, acknowledging that God (rather than you) is in control of your grade. As you pray more often, you will see how God is so involved in your lives.

Exams are a great way to to deepen your relationship with God. Don't think when exam comes, God must be put aside. God works all things for the good of those who love Him. See this as an opportunity to trust and depend more on God. Remember, pray...

Peng's Daily Study Tip #3

Tip #3 - Remove all Distractions

This is as simple as it sounds. Remove everything that distracts you from studying at your studying table. Handphone, wallet, mp3 player, toys, photos, pictures, radio, posters.. Keep only what you need.

Keep also a notebook for you to jot down anything sudden thoughts you rem and don't want to forget to do later. Don't attend to them immediately, write them down and do it after you finish studying.

I strongly do not recommend listening to music while studying. Research shows it reduces the brain's capabilities and its ability to concentrate. If you have problems sitting down and studying for 2 hours, you better start training now! Because you will be sitting down for abt 2 hours in the exam hall without music. Get used to it now.

The benefits of training your concentration goes beyond studying. Have you ever find it common to pray and find your mind wandering off easily and then you realised you were suppose to be praying? Or have you found it impossible to sit down and study the bible without your mind drifting off thinking about something else?

Remember, keep focused by removing distractions. Then you will find your studying time much more fruitful rather than daydreaming away...

Peng's Daily Study Tip #2

Tip #2 - Know your Battleground!

A good Military commander will make sure he familiarise himself with the ground on which he will fight. He will then know how to make it to his advantage and train on the areas that will benefit his troops.

Similarly, as a student you must know that your battle will be fought on the exam papers. Studying blindly isn't wise. Hence you must know how you will be tested. You must know how many papers are there, how many questions in each question, how much time are you going to spend in each question, what are the questions like, what is the best way to answer them...

Once you know how you will be tested, then when you open your textbooks to study, you are more clear in what you need to memorise, what you need to understand and your hours of studying will be more fruitful.

Remember, studying blindly isn't wise. Read example questions, then find the answers from the textbooks. Practise on how you are going to present your answers too. It doesn't earn you marks if you can't write down what you know!

Meet the Robinsons

It is amazing how God works in so fascinating ways! I was searching for an answer and God gave me that answer through a movie! Haha, it's weird but it was something that came to my mind (God's way of telling me things) which prodded me to think much about it...


If you had a chance to see your future, will you work harder for it? That was a casual remark i told Jean Shen while watching the last part of the movie.. then it hit me...

I might not have seen my future, but i do know what it's going to be like... in heaven! God has revealed to us the ending of this story which we are in the middle of - God will triumph! We are going to paradise! I've seen my future in heaven, so in response I am going to put aside things that distracting me from this future, I'm going to put away my disobedience, I am going to trust in God and realise the dream that I've already seen and sure that it will come to pass... (and we all know such confidence in God's truth is given by God Himself)

Hooray for God! =)

Peng's Daily Study Tip #1

In view of the exam period, i shall have a daily study tip to help all of you.. =)

Tip #1 - Remember your motivation

Identifying your motivation helps you to persevere in your endless mind-hurting, mental draining, braincell killing hours of torture. There will be many points where you will want to give up, put in less work, slack... Your motivation will carry you through until the end of the war!

Your friends studied hard for good grades with motivation to please their parents, to show off, to get satisfaction, to have a bright future, what is your motivation in studying?

If people studied so hard for perishable things, how come you are not studying as hard or even harder, knowing that your reward is eternal and is so much more worth it - and that is doing what is given to you to the best of your ability while depending on God and by doing this it you know that it pleases God... Isn't it worth it to know that God, the one you loved the most, is pleased with you?

God wants us to depend on Him and do our best in anything He has called us to do. As students, you are called to study.

Remember your motivation. This shall be the 1st and most important tip which will bring you through until the end of the war!

Destructive Rampage!

This is ridiculous! I've actually spoilt more things this week than i had for the past few months.. (*i'm quite sure of that)

1. My shoes. How did it come out...? maybe i had a tendency to put my feet on the heel and hook it rather than being flat on the ground... then again i strongly feel that it's the lousy quality of the shoe!

2. My poor specs. It's only been 6 months.. And i made it after losing my previous specs into the waters of sentosa when i was swimming... Don't ask how it broke.. i admit.. it was my "act pro" attitude in trying to adjust the frame of my specs

3. My poor mp3!! I left it in my bag as always.. but so happens yest when i took it out, the screen cracked... must be some heavy weight or impact.. I bought this 2 years ago.. just after my A levels...

Sigh... I do hope i don't break anymore things! It's really costly o.o"

Reflections - Buddy Race/ CG Lesson/ New Police Story

Before going into the new week, i told myself i needed to blog. To keep track of all my struggles, and encouragements i've received living for God... before i start living my life too fast again.. or maybe i already have...

Buddy race was an amazing journey for me. For the organisers, it was the process that impacted a lot more than the event itself. I want to specially thank the Lord how I've got to know Romans, Ranald, Ben, and Gloria much more than i had. The shared experience had deepened that relationship we all share as Christian brothers and sisters which will help us to continue to spur one another in good deeds. I really really want to thank the Lord for that.

For me, i've learnt quite a bit about myself, how i handle situations and my character, but most importantly my confidence in the Lord. There were too many things that the Lord has done. Remembering how we are not worthy of any good thing God gives, remembering how many things we failed to do properly, i'm just really grateful to God...to a point when the incident happened during the race, i was still calm enough to keep everything going, and attended to the matter. To the things that were not within my control, i thank God the matter was not brought up again and that guy didn't call up again...

The lesson on sat was amazing. I started from scratch. But the Lord constantly filled me mind with ideas and bible verses that i ended up trying to sort them out cos there were too many! When i realised how God planned my experiences - the books i read, the sermons i heard, the bible verses that i studied before, i cannot comprehend the perfect plan He always had all these while! It's like to be teaching that lesson at that time was divinely planned!

i thank God that Ben was honest and told me about how i could have improved on that lesson, i also thank the Lord how it was received by the members. The lesson somehow lingered in my mind even after the lesson was taught.. Perhaps it was because i had been thinking about it every moment for the past week that it became a habit, but i actually kept thinking about the things i forgot to say or should have said.. i realised i'm more concerned about how the lesson is done rather than how the members received it. It's like I have this perfect idea of the lesson that if it is not done this way, it wasn't good enough..

then the Lord used what i've taught to hit me.. I'm actually telling God that how good the message delivered was depending on me, not how God convicts them. I must remember i am not worthy to teach and that it is a privilege. That God could have gotten the most boring person to teach and God can still use the bible verses to touch their hearts.. because at the end of the day, it is God's work for God's glory, not my work for my glory...

Yest i had a chance to have lunch with 2 of my relatives and my parents after we went Bishan to "shao mu" or to follow them as they pray to their ancestors. My aunt commented on how it is so rare to find a loving couple as my parents, how after so many years still can find topics to talk and be so close.. She then told me it takes a lot of effort.. i do sense some jealousy but it got me to re-look at them again.. How i've always seen them as Non-Christian parents, yet now i can see the remains of the image of God still in them, showing through the loving acts to each other, and to my brother and I. I remembered teaching my cg that parental love is the purest and closest compared to God's love for us. Perhaps only i understand what it meant to have non-Christian parents showing God's love. They've earned my respect and i only pray that i can be more willing to show my love for them...

Just an hour ago, I watched the "New Police Story" on channel U.. The last time i've watched it was during JC2 with my OAC friends after school.. It was during August, where school ends before 1pm each day and most lessons are revision..Prelims was near haha.. anyway the 4 rich youths who robbed banks and fired rifles like as if they were playing a video game caught me this time.. Unable to find the acceptance from their parents, they also grew a hate for cops and starting killing them for fun...

to an ever-changing world, where moral standards are dropping (i loved to use the word eroded because it so aptly describes it), where as youths we have our basic necessities met, when we are given the option to choose our paths in life, what choice will you make, and what will you use to refer to for guidance?

Before ending this post, i want to put a reminder here to constantly pray for every single member of my cg. It's always about God and how He works..I must trust in His perfect plan..

Longing for that special person...

I'm 18 so what's new
Loneliness isn't the reason
I just want someone to love
Be patient God said
He will set everything perfect
That special person will be perfect
Trust Him He said
Such wonderful promise
so why worry you ask
But I'm human
In the midst of waiting
I struggle
Infatuation, Longing, Seeking
Holding on to God isn't easy
but that's faith I guess...

My Reflection

*was on my way to go upstairs back to bunk when i pass by the window of this very dark room and it showed a reflection of me and thoughts began pouring out as all of a sudden time seemed to come to a still...

Who is this person in the reflection
In an army uniform, with a kevlar helmet under his right arm
Who is this person in the reflection
Who wore combat boots and had grease stained hands

Wait, this is a boy
whose face is without wrinkles nor does it show any signs of being on this world for decades
Wait, this is a teen
whose life is suppose to be studying and hanging out with friends

Why is this boy asked to fight, made to train
He runs around with rifles and shoot bullets that hurt
Why is this boy trained to fight, trained to kill
He goes around in armoured tanks and fire bombs that cause great destruction

Is this the same boy who I saw last year
The one who was struggling to study, to pass his A levels
The one who struggled to balance his school, social and spiritual life
The one who plays computer games, goes kayaking and enjoys friendship

Who am I, I really wonder
Am i dreaming or is any of this for real?
All the pains and sufferings I've been through
Why do they all seem so clouded in my memory

Who is the boy that I see
Standing there staring back at me.
Is he really... me?

Stepping into 2006

God is so wonderful to me. It has only been 1 week into the new year and things are already changing in ways i wouldn't have thought possible...

1) My brother has accepted Christ. It's been my honour and joy to pray with him the sinner's prayer. My 1st time seeing a person convert too =) Praise God!

2) I'm starting out this year as a cell group leader. And responsiblities are beginning to pile up as I'm now required to help out in sunday school for the upper sec. In order to teach, I make it upon myself that I must be totally understand what I'm going to teach so that it will be according to what God meant it to be. That will take up time. Then, there's also the March CGEO (cell group evangalistic outreach) which we are going to plan. On top of that, I still got bible studies which i want to do personally. There's also the final theory test for driving, which i will have to find time to learn the practicals, not forgetting other committments and outings!

Busy, yes... But from being busy, I'm blessed because it is for the Lord =)

Will you dare to face it?

How much do you know about what you believe in?

How sure are you about your faith?

How far will you go to defend it?

Will it stand the test of the blazing flame?

Or is the Cross to heavy to carry?

Who are you? A child of God or a wolf among the sheeps? Are you one like us, or of another faith? Who are you? A member of a Christian group or a child being deceived and manipulated by a Cult group to do its bidding?

You will find out more than you ever known. Things that you had kept hidden, questions you had ignored, all shall be exposed...

A Destructive Nature

It gets into you when u get tired, when your mind gives in to all the lies that is fed to it..

just felt sick of disciplining myself, denying of what i want, fighting and fighting to hold on to the truth of God.. even the basic things of spending time with God, not being lazy, just felt weary.. just feel like i want to be unaccountable for once...

i've been getting this feeling from time to time, now my mind is doubting if i'm disciplining myself too much..

no, i've not struggled with sin until the point of shedding blood.. it's hard to stay focused.. i must not believe in the lies, i must stand firm on God's word... i must remember the consequences of my choices.. i must believe... God loves me...

it's really easier said than done... so... God, please help me...


*i'll blog soon.. right now.. just dun wanna burden myself with tasks when i dun feel like doing anything..


Please take from me my life
When I don't have the strength
To give it away to You

Please take form me my life
when I don't have the strength
To give it away to You Jesus...

A Busy Month

The month of March

1. Recovering from surgery
2. Romans trail
3. MIMBY (Music In My Backyard)
4. Project Serve Graduation
5. SOS (Spy001 Overnight Stay)
6. Calling up contacts
7. Teen Games (4 days soccer at Bishan Park)
8. O-Pey-Soom (2 day Hang Out Place)
9. Planning CG meeting
10. Wed Lent services
11. Baptism Class
12. Bethel Series Final Test (Concepts and 6 essays)
13. Mentoring members/ BCL (Basic Christian Living)
14. Buddy Race planning (Event Overall I/C)
15. Starting on a new job (Working at Lenovo)

31 days in a month. 15 items. And if you are familiar with what I'm talking about, you will know some of the events require more than just attending them...How did i cope? I looked back at this month and i'm simply amazed.. I went through a lot.. And it did change me..There were lots of thoughts, emotions, encouragement and disappointments I had went through. Most of them i wrote it in my reflection letter for this month. but i specially want to acknowledge God and give credit to Him.

I was reading my once close friend's blog, and i compared it with my life. how 2 different perspectives changes everything. for my friend, doing extra work in the army (he's a regular in the army) is called arrow. the word he used for his blog and how he describes his life is SOULLESS. I had lots to do too. but my motivation in doing them, not expecting any rewards, willing to spend time, effort, money, even be emotionally involved, is my clear understanding of the TRUTH ABOUT LIFE. A sad, empty, meaningless, bearing grudges, complaining life placed beside a fruitful, purposeful, joyful life. I can't help but be so affected by it...

Same childhood and experiences --> a different choice at a particular time --> 2 separate lives

how i wish i could do smth. i have not been praying for him. somehow i'm so involved in what i have to do now that there are so many old friends i've lost contact.. i cannot start feeling sad, i cannot start crying.. i need to start praying...

Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." (John 10:10)
