story of God, keli n lingting
Keli’s story
all along shi and my dream was to get into vj together,
join vj harmoc,
& become the soloist there,
just like weishan!
since most schools dun have harmoc,
we sure will be more pro than the rest one.
just the thought of having our pictures printed on the concert tix made us super high! haha.
yet, towards the end of the year,
shi decided to became join tp business school
and become a jian1 shang1.
(wise choice, top business student of tp!)
if she din change her mind,
i m sure i wun go tj cuz i cant bear to go a diff jc as shi.
initially, i wanna go vj.
to continue our vj harmoc soloist dream,
and cuz vj's reputation better.
somehow, i knew God wanted me to go tj.
and i did.
during first 3 months,
our clique consisted of mary cheeky phebe val abi huiting lihuay & rashmi.
normally in cliques, there will be pairs who are closer to each other.
i was with rashmi.
phebe's was cheeky.
actually i really wanna pair up with phebe,
cuz i think she has a really cool personality,
but it seemed that she was already very close to cheeky and mary.
so i remained happily paired with rashmi.
but rashmi left tj!
and i had no one whom i was closest to in the clique..
then, the second intakers joined us.
(finally lingting has come into the picture!)
lingting joined our class,
27/06!
at first she was closest to bob,
then they had a misunderstanding.
and lingting joined spdf!
if shi din go into business school,
if i went into vj,
if i din fail to become the closest with phebe,
if rashmi din leave tj,
if lingting din get into 27/06,
if bob & lingting din have the misunderstanding....
i may not have gotten closer to lingting.
and she may not have known God.
though i m sure God will pursue her until she responded,
just like how He pursued me,
i m so thankful that He chose me to be His instrument in His pursuit of lingting.
and once again,
He showed me,
that His will is good pleasing and perfect.

Ling ting’s story
so sorry for the late entry.
the above story is keli’s point of view, and so here comes mine!
ha, before that I shall start from my pri sch ba.
well, I studied in a catholic sch, and just like ahs, every week we learn smth like the bible story. every morning we’ll pray and sing hymn. as I was a free thinker, I dint tot there’s anything wrong in praying to any God. and cos I love to sing since young,I esp love the part bout singing hymns. at that time, my aunt who took care of us is a Taoist, she made us pray every nite at ten, must kneel down n put our hands is a certain way sumore, my mum do pray to Buddhist god cos she thinks tat sometimes it’s good to believe. my dad dun believe in any god, and every morning im praying to Jesus. lol I was confused! so everytime there’s a prob, I’ll just pray to any god.
but there’s once, on the first day of my pri 3 life. my mum made me take bus home myself, as u all know, lingting is a lu chi! so she was lost of course. and the very first thing that came to my mind was to pray to Jesus. so there I was, a small little girl standing at a unknown busstop, half crying and half praying. and God probably send this kind hearted man to my rescue. he called my mum, and she finally came to drive me home. oh guess wad, my mum insist in wanting me to be independent. I got lost for 3 days before I actu know how to go home myself leh. (ha, prove tat ling ting is really lu chi)
yup and ever since tat time, I start to pray more to God. ha, but I always only rem him when I need help. always pray to him before exams esp. until I left the convent sch, and start to forget bout God. for years I’ve never pray to God a single time. even when things at home nv seem to be rite.. all I could do was to cry or even try to do silly things. once I was alone and now I have God. guess many of u could understand wad a big diff it is..
when I was in sec three, our band went to Australia for international competition. it took me real long to persuade my mum to let me go. and I was glad I went, not just for the experience, but also cos God knock at my door once again. there’s this gal, Grace, one of the 4 who share the same room as me. Grace is a gal who really love God! one nite in the room, they ask me to sing to them. and on the day that we’re gg back to Singapore, we had a long chat at the airport. Grace told me God wants to use my voice. I couldn’t understand wad she meant at that time. she told me bout how God has saved her mother, and how her whole family come to know God. I do believe what she say, but it dint occur to me tat I wanna be a Christian. so I just smile.. I do think the story is amazing yet I dint thought God is so great!
on Christmas when I was sec 4, my fren ask me to go for this Christmas bash. I tot it was some kind of a party or smth, so I went lo. and when I was there, I totally felt like being cheated know! it was actu a church Christmas production. yep the show was nice to watch, but I also know what they’re gg to ask after that. but ting refused to raise her hand.
J1 first 3 months, I went to nyjc. I was actu quite upset to go there, though I do have cch frens in nyjc. but I seriously wanna go tj! every morning I have wake up super early, and take at least an hr to go ny! den I start to doze of in class, even like the first lesson?? my class ppl were nice, but mostly wanna leave ny de.. so everyone starts to pon class. and ting is so scare tat she’ll start to follow them too. and I became even more upset in ny… (ha si im so sorry, im not trying to say anything bad bout ny, it’s just the first 3 months symptoms)
den when I finally got into tj, I start to complain and say tat if I’ve gotta to tj earlier, then I dun have to go thru make up lectures, learning everything all over again.. when others get to finish their lesson at 2 plus, and I have to wait till 4 plus when my make up lecture starts.
eventually I got to realize tat, God planned it all…
when I was upset to be in ny, I couldn’t see God’s plan to bring me into 27/06, to know keli, to get into the class cell, to allow me to know more about God, and den Keli brought me to church, and with God’s overwhelming love, I couldn’t resist it anymore, but to agree that God is great and I want to accept him as my personal savior!
I thank God for his goodness, for he didn’t give me up. even after I became a Christian, there were times I forgot bout him. but God was there, and he knocked at my door probably countless times, that I sometimes I might not even know tat he was there…
