Flying Without Wings - Westlife

listen to the song before you carry on reading.

Had an awesome, very awesome, super awesome, did-i-mention-awesome, birthday this year!
yes, i'm finally legal 18 some would say! HAHA.
As cliche as this might seem, but nonetheless true to it's very meaning;
What's a birthday gone through, without the people you loved the most?

JOL, w341, leaders, friends, classmates, family...
Thank you so much for the blessings, times together and the thought which always counts!
God bless!

Special shoutout to my CG:
(this isn't too late right :P)
THANKS for all the effort you guys put in to planning everything!
Despite the fact that you guys used Study group as an excuse to meet up to fellowship while planning for my birthday, i actually discipled a few of you about the importance of Study group, but you guys silently endured the accusation, haha.
Plus putting together a Cg video, i didn't tear in my eyes, but i did tear in my heart..
The card.. The gift... Thanks guys!
There is no more loving people than you! You're the best!
W483!!! :)))

and you Lord, for everything and everything.

Depths of Your Love - The Alternative

Speak to this mountain,
To move into the ocean,
Your authority given to me.
No matter what happens,
Here I am standing,
On the hope of Your word,
Promised to me.

bout Thailand pictures.

2008-09-12T08:10:00.000-07:00

No pictures from Thailand!!! :'(((
The disc to the pictures can't open on my computer, i gotta find alternate ways to get them.
So i gotta wait and readers, if any *haha*, you gotta wait too.

Read this man's story.
Lost leg, not heart.

Marlon Shirley saw his fair share of struggles as a young boy, living with his mother who was gone a lot and moved frequently to keep trouble from catching up with her. Marlon was five years old when he was picked up by social services and dropped off at an orphanage where he began the "pinball life of an institutional orphan.” In 1984, Marlon lost his foot in an accident with a lawnmower. The caretaker of the orphanage was letting the kids jump on an off the riding lawnmower while he mowed the lawn around the facility. Marlon slipped and the caretaker ran over his leg where the damage was done. Marlon later woke up with an amputation above the ankle.

Marlon bounced around to various foster homes over the years until he was adopted by a family from Utah in 1987. He took the Shirley’s last name and feels blessed to have been found by them.

Marlon struggled through high school, trying to overcome the habits and tendencies of his past—of simply trying to survive. Mid-way through his senior year in 1997, close to flunking out and humiliated, Marlon had had it. He decided to do something with his life and signed up to participate in the Simplot Games in Idaho, the largest open high school indoor track meet west of the Mississippi. He hoped to get offered a college scholarship, but the odds were against him. Marlon had little track experience and was hobbling on crutches due to a fractured bone in his leg he obtained from dunking a basketball a few weeks earlier.

Marlon felt he had to do it. He entered the high jump, where he hopped over on his good leg and dove headfirst over the bar. He cleared 6’6”, which just happened to be the Paralympic world record. A month later, Marlon competed in the Disabled Sports USA track meet in California, where he left $13,000 richer.

Marlon Shirley has endured many situations which would have brought the average person to shambles. He has not only found a way to prevail, but has also found a way to be a world class athlete. He owns two world records: the 100-meter dash and the long jump. In 2000, at the Para-Olympic Games in Sydney he won the 100m dash and took silver in the high jump. Since then, not only has he become the first and only lower leg amputee to break the 11.00 seconds mark (10.97), Marlon has also run the fastest 200m dash to date.

At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Marlon Shirley won the Paralympic 100-meter gold medal for the second straight time. He has been called “the world’s fastest amputee.”

Marlon said, "It's something I train for every single day. It's almost just like an automatic movement of my body springing down the track. We all have our own type of disabilities—mine just happens to be physical, and you can see it very easily when I run. But you can't tell it by the time I get done racing."

Shirley's prosthetic foot is made of carbon fiber titanium, materials developed in the aerospace industry. He is clearly testing the limits of what a prosthetic foot can do.

"The feet? They've lasted me forever," he said. "I remember running around on crutches just like I'd run around if I had another foot," he said. "I definitely never looked at myself any differently than anyone else."

Marlon is a 10-time World Champion and Olympic Champion. He is the spokesperson for the Paralympic Movement and other sponsors. Marlon’s biggest and most desirable goal is to be the first amputee to qualify for the 100m dash at the US Nationals against athletes with all limbs. End.

And bringing to you a quote from a recent (cute) movie: Wall-E.

Captain, fighting back, proclaiming: "I don't want to survive, I WANT TO LIVE!"

Goodbye Singapore,
HELLO THAILAND! :)))))))))))

2008-08-25T08:23:00.001-07:00

The past is history,
the future is a mystery.

But embrace today as a gift, that's why they call it present.

not mine to quote, but the present is really one to behold. :)

for kicks.

2008-08-21T10:16:00.000-07:00

In times of rigorous study, it calls for some hard laughing moments.
Ranked in... From a normal haha, to a wahahaha, to a muahahaha.
Mind you, your muahahaha, involves roflwtime*

just for laughs.
JIAYOU prelims, o levels, poly exams.

roflwtime* : rolling on floor laughing with tears in my eyes.

cooler things.

2008-08-01T11:14:00.000-07:00

I was just spending some time watching movies that i wanted to watch the time when it was out, but maybe because of exams or certain other reasons i wasn't able to, so here was one that got the socks on my feet ROCKIN'!!!

Love the guitar. :)))
A really comical movie! A great laugh.
Love the hair. :DDDDDDDD
And they actually have schools that teach students to rock in the U.S.. There is one in Philadelphia and many other parts of the country. Really cool! I wanna get into a place like that *at least if i was younger* haha.
and i saw this on youtube!!!!!!!!!

This is some young talent.

This guy is different, totally cute.

I think at the end of the day, it's all about heart.
Jack Black (in the movie) : "You gotta have rock in your heart!"
Whereas the other 2 on youtube, one's got heart to sing, whereas the other just got hearts melting. HAHA.

Reminder: I need to get my heart into things.
Enjoy your weekend!

heart?

She's got this Colbie Caillat thing going on. She'd be hitting records soon! :))
and i just tuned in to the "wo cai, wo cai, wo cai cai cai!" variety show on channel U, this section of the show gets the celebs to sing oldies.
*seems like 'don't forget the lyrics' stole the idea*
sooooo nostalgic.

2008-07-16T09:52:00.001-07:00

today was a good day at school, simple lesson, could see my classmates enjoying themselves. haha.
relaxed day at school: classmates doing what they do best. ( just look at ERIKA)

went out with mum after!
go supermarket to stock up on home food. hehehe.
And we smell, we saw, we BOUGHT DURIAN! WAHHAHAHAHA.
Mum somewhat looks stunning in here. Mum's the best.
baby.. you want durian..?
We ate and we ate.. and before we knew it, it was all gone.
no wait! one more piece! Mine mine! It's all mine! haha.

awesome week (:

2008-07-14T13:31:00.000-07:00

It had been a week of breakthru for me!
Actually got my mum to get me water baptized! Just how cool is that huh.. HAHA.
After 'bout a year of rejection, persecution coming out of her, it really seemed bleak. And of course faith went ko-song.

But yet again, even if you have lost your faith, God remains faithful. So.. i just saw my WB form on my bed. Looking at it, thinking should i should i not, and feeling that push, i went for it.
At the end of the day, i think it was all about persistence. Like others, they were whacked, hit, walloped, *sorry i'm exaggerating*, they continued to ask, beg and pulled through in the end.
JUST HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT IT?

I'm gonna post the pictures this Sunday!

And last Saturday was good! Outing at Sentosa!
My camera is still being recharged.. So pictures will be uploaded later. (:

History Maker - Delirious

it was a fantastic time at the NEOS camp!
night games were sensational, digging into the oatmeal.. haha. and many more.
morning exercises. water bomb games. all that running around.
by the time it came to devotion, we can't deny we're tired out physically,
but deep in the spirit we're growing strong, and best thing was we got plenty stretched!
and HI ALVIN! glad you came for the camp tgt with us! :)

all in all, this camp was really physically tiring, and it did show me how, when we're burnt out,
to seek and hunger.

Also, on tuesday, Rev. Robb Thompson came to share with us 7 unchangeable laws of difference!
impact!
people often want to be celebrated for their similarities, but in actual fact, it's those who are
different who will be celebrated.
1. Law of Pursuit
2. Law of Serving
3. Law of Character
4. Law of Attitude
5. Law of Association
6. Law of Problem-Solving
7. Law of the Seed
ask me if you wanna know, or if you got his book let me know! :D

and i had a revelation yesterday:
- what is unwanted today, will not be unused tomorrow.
some of you probably think it's gotta do with some 'going green' or 'global warming' thing, yeah that's what i thought afterwards haha.
but you who may feel without talent, no gifts, no specialty, nothing in you is well-defined,
well.. a diamond was afterall first, a piece of rock.

celebate! no. celebrate*!

2008-05-29T11:01:00.001-07:00

woohoo. yes, celebratory mode is ON.
some maybe outdated alr, BUT still.. somethings are just worth the remembrance
and of course the joy of it. so without further 'a do' (don't exactly know how to spell),
let's see some updates:

yep. here is he who scored to make push the team to the last minute, to the penalty shootout. so what if he missed?
46 goals in a season, who was the last to do that?
10 times champion! :D
check out Van's blog for more! heh.

alright next up!
this one's fun. haha.

haha poor girl, was so worried that we ain't gonna celebrate for her.
each letter with awful goodness.
yeh, the best bud.

ho ho ho last, but definitely not least this one. will follow all the days of my life,
or part thereof.

yah im really very happy i got a new phone! really my old one took 25 seconds to send one msge.

really good! i've used it for almost a week, it really has some good functions, not as lag i would think a 8gb phone would be. :)

and of course beyond all these, for one, i'm very glad in my soul!
not just because of what celebrations there are but what i'm personally experiencing.
really breaking through la, Kai, keep on keeping on!
at first i thought that was my biggest obstacle, but yet as time went by, prayed & believed,
really just opened for things to happen.
IM GLAD i'm doing something more!
there is always something more, don't wait til the opportunity is given to you!
go get your opportunity TODAY.

Update.

2008-05-20T10:43:00.000-07:00

2008-05-18T10:35:00.000-07:00

i thank those who drop by here often lah. been lazy/busy. haha.

in His will :)

2008-04-29T18:42:00.000-07:00

thanks for all the tags guys!

year 2 in TP is not too bad so far.. i just cant wait for the exams to come and finish this semester alr. HAHA. but of course projects have their fun parts also. with a bunch from my year 1 class i still have some company in lunch-time. new classmates are kinda quiet, but at least i can concentrate better. PLUS POINT. :)
aside from school, i know that to build something takes time and labour.
*mum just tripped the electricity plug, i kinda forgot what i said here. HAHA.*
i know from where i was, i will go to where i can go, to where i can never imagine.
just P.U.S.H. :)

and sometimes all we got to have is child-like faith.
and sometimes all we got to know it's His will.
and sometimes all we got to do is pray.

You make all things new.

All Things New
by Sidney Mohede / True Worshippers

(verse)
Alive, In You we're so alive
With new hopes in our hearts
For the freedom that You gave
Yeah, the freedom in our lives
Our lives have been redeemed
By the beautiful blood of Christ

So now we come to You
So now we worship You

(pre-chorus)
You make all things possible
You reign Victorious

(chorus)
All our voices sing
All creation bring
Their adoration for the King
Who reigns in glory
Behold the One who's making all things new
For we have been redeemed
Yes, we have been set free
And You are all we need
So now our lives will shine for all to see

ah hah!

2008-04-14T01:36:00.000-07:00

it's one more week, or 7 more days, or 168 more hours or.. no need further exaggeration..
school term is starting!!
like all students of the good country of Singapore, it is sad to say the holidays have gone by.
BUT, of course it was a holiday well spent. :)
learnt, learning, gonna learn so much..!
week after week, it's really been exciting laaa this hols.
yah, it's one of those..
*re-enactment: YAH! I remember april '08 I did.. and that.. Man, i just couldn't forget it.*
that sorta memory. haha.

so now one thing that's really got me itching is that..
can any TP student tell me when's the timetable's coming up?
haha. i need a good timetable!
and that's for now. :D

post #80.

2008-04-04T01:40:00.000-07:00

hey everyone! =)
pardon from all the MIA-ing. hehehe.
IMPORTANT thing is: I'M BACK! ! !

there's so much that needs to be done right now for me, for what i want to do, what i hope to see, what i like to have, who this, where that, how come etc. etc. etc. AND..
etc. haha.
indeed i have to plan if not i fail to plan means i plan to fail! no way! it can, but i gotta start somewhere with what i want to do. start from where i am.

desire -> decision -> dedication -> discipline -> DETAILS.
and i've even thought of it the other way round, where you end with a desire.. TO GO HIGHER!

oh oh and this was something i once had a desire for. of course i didnt make a decision to pursue it.
Have a good laugh. :)

fresh oil.

2008-03-18T11:02:00.000-07:00

watch out for my CG blog. :)

'Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.'
In the heat of a battle, great generals set up camp to rest the soldiers, even themselves.
With strength and power renewed, they will stand steadfast in the midst of enemies,
like the edge of a double-edged sword, they pierce through the enemies' persecution.
The battle til then, is won.

plenty new.

2008-03-17T12:36:00.000-07:00

many things ahead are going to be new.
not just the new blogskin guys. haha.

and there are some pictures i took from marche yesterday. :)
i'll upload them soon.

2008-03-13T10:40:00.000-07:00

the thing about being awesome, is that it is awesome-r than before, which is the awesomest.
yah whatever, Wenkai! : some of you might say. haha.

but yeah, AWESOME was the word to describe Jam Out Loud Concert, the first we ever held!
and all of you who performed, kudos to you! the people enjoyed it, hope you enjoyed it too. :)
and of course cannot forget the drama people man!
these are the ones who stood with me, through thick (skin) and thin (heart), where it would have been paiseh to act in front of friends, they did it!
good job Anvis, Anzoe, Bryan, Francis, JiaRong, Jordan and Linda!

HO-A-AH! this sunday, i'll see you soon!
pictures and videos of it all will be in posts to come yeah. :D

whoa. whoa. whoa. whoa. whoa.

2008-03-04T10:47:00.000-08:00

and might i say again, WHOA.
all that has been/is/will be happening, i claim by faith!
with what little faith i have, i will believe and do something about it!

who i am is never as important as who You are.

all that is said here is just to remind me, of how great You are.
Thank You! Love You!

my hero, superbabe.

2008-03-02T07:35:00.000-08:00

never heard of her before? well, of course she is my one and only superhero.
yes, like a demsel in distress, i often cry out in the first sight of fear, and without doubt, she comes.
in so many different situations, different villians, she remained a faithful hero, serving out a alter-ego.

but what is so much of her, unlike any other heroine?
she never left.
with that: superbabe, is a must watch. Watch her go. :)
GO SUPERBABE!

and one more thing;
instead of screaming for help, can i ask politely for a toast of celebration, of a new found friendship.
here's to you, friend forever.

twist!

2008-02-29T01:51:00.000-08:00

LOLS. the sign of victory or peace. *twist!*
yay. the awesomest time is the time you get after your exams man...
the best way to describe is... bare with how crude this might sound. hehe.
when pang sai gets out of you! wahhh... shiok ah i tell you.
and that's pretty much i how i feel right now. speaking of which i'm off to do some business in the toilet and much more out there in the world!!!

enjoy the HOLIDAYS! :)
(for poly students ah, sec sch ppl you wait your turn. :D)

2008-02-26T02:04:00.000-08:00

what to say Lord, it's You who gave me life and i can't explain how much You mean to me now~

yeahhhh!!! i just like the feeling of it all happening right now. this is wonderful!
first thing's first. this is not one to be celebrated as i had in my previous statement. :P
my computer contracted a virus, so if i've ever sent you a particular file namely PIC .... 2008.zip. pardon me. :)

and yes!!!! tort and lsm2, is history. yes, down the walk of history you guys go. rest in peace, thank you very much. hahaha. so that just leaves my last paper on wednesday, and to just come to think of it, i can actually work to earn some keep. :D
and i was just watching the repeat telecast of the Oscars, a short replay of what previous winners of Best Actor in a Leading Role, have said. and if i had not remembered incorrectly, it was Tom Hanks who said in 1998, and this is something special.
quote, subject to my personal interpretation (LOL) :
in the very fact that i receive this award, is that angels are overcrowding in heaven. :)
every year it's just nice to watch them man. TOK KONG.

oh yes yes, back to celebrating. i'm just glad i'm being very serious right now. i'm seriously serious in being serious. thank You, no one else.

maybe one year i'd go there. heh. :))
i'd be trying my best to post some pictures taken this festive time.
so all, eat til your throat goes sore.
ENJOY. please, enjoy.

one expression. whoa. :O

2008-01-28T04:02:00.000-08:00

ok just watch this video. it was not the video i intended to show you guys, but it still brings out a similar meaning in youths. :))
and here i am not talking about how talented that little girl is. she's 4 in 2005, making her 7 in 2008, man when i was 7, i thought i was jackie chan and huang fei hong was my shi-fu. haha.
it is definitely not how talented the girl is. after all, einstein once said: talent is just 5% of all that is needed for you to succeed. most of the time hard work and effort has to be put in. BUT what i think is most important, which is what i have learnt through the week, is the WILLINGNESS to do things.
i've served with a usher as young as 12 years old, who knew where the empty seats were, how many of them even. he wasn't hesitant and might even be a better usher than i am.
another young girl, sister to a good friend of mine, brought her classmate to service, already practising evangelism. the young girl wasnt born again til last christmas!
one more one last one, took up the call at the age of 14, dwelled in the presence, outreaching like never before.

me and you. im still a youth, amen. :) you are too. how willing are we?
im motivated right now. hope you are too. :D

[Isaiah 54:4]

2008-01-21T09:05:00.001-08:00

hey N349! im deciding to change our Cg blogskin.
i made a change already. let me know your thoughts about it!
dont like we can still revert back. (:

and then the fun began.

2008-01-20T05:27:00.001-08:00

yeahh. you know the games you used to play during your good old primary school days. so it was a faithful tuesday where the HPYs reminisce, and decided to relive that moment. LOLLLLLL.

xian-jie's first pasang. we can write stuff on her hands.
and obviously write what she hates most lah. H-H-H-MX!

and the markings lasted 2 days on her hand. ><

oh man, i had to sing to an unknown person. the auntie just did not want to listen to the world's greatest hit: TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR. lolllllllll. ryan just did what he likes best, saying Hi to everybody. but to people he dont know? hmm.. xD
okay this one is retarded. eating tissue paper under the table. LOL.
yet another one of ryan's. LESS TEN LEG HAIR. oooo sweet.. haha.

but of course there's still nicole our photographer who did not have her own pictures taken. but just so you know what she did. 1) jump in the dustbin 10 times. 2) do star jumps on the table.

oh monday, here i come.

da week

2008-01-20T04:47:00.000-08:00

i dont know if there are any readers man. no one's tagging. xP

there was no time to blog til the Sabbath day, today. it's been a busy busy week.
a week worthwhile still. :)

tuesday:
Lsm presentation was.. passable. could say we all did our best under the tightest circumstances, and still came out calm and toned.
But that's not all for mega tuesday! haha.
we're supposed to have a microecons group meeting. WHICH WE DID HAVE OK@Y!
this was just the beginning. the revelation will be posted in the next time i blog. heh.

2008-01-14T06:30:00.001-08:00

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot. :)

big stones, grain and water. marbles too.

2008-01-12T21:31:00.000-08:00

thank you, pastor!
stories he shared during service. i may have editted it abit due to some STM.

An old man calculated how long an average man would live. approximately 75 years. some less, some more, whichever.
he was 55 years old then. so he had just about 20 years to live.
20 x 52weeks in a year, was the amount of times he can spend with his family.
so he went to around 3 toy stores, before he could get the 1000 marbles = 20 x 52.
he put them all in a jar. and day by day he will throw one marble away, to let him realize how many marbles he had left before he may die.
by the time the last marble was thrown out of his window, the man had quit his job, and spent the rest of his days with his dear ones.

big stones, grain and water.
a science teacher was having his usual class on a thursday morning.
he had a big jar, he filled it with big stones first. he then asked the class:" is the jar full?"
the class responded:"YES!"
he took out a bag full of grain and poured it into the jar. he asked the same question.
he got back the same answer.
now, he poured in a jug full of water into the jar, the water did not overflow out of the jar.
he asked a different question:" what have you learnt from this experiment?"
the eager beaver of the class, waved his hand frantically to get the attention of his teacher.
"Yes, Sam, you have an answer?"
"Water makes things full! Like my tummy!"
the teacher laughed. "Good answer Sam, but you have to put in the big stones FIRST. not the other way round."

life is the jar, big stones are what we place importance, value and love into.
i'm ready to set some good goals this year. (:

good monday.

2008-01-07T09:10:00.000-08:00

ok, apart from my grade in microeconomics. it is still a good monday. haha.
and it only came to my realization that the 1st week of the year has ended! that's another 51 such other weeks for me to live before this 2008 ends.
im just exaggerating, arent i? LOLLLL.

caught a good movie today.

made me remember how God talks to us. splendid. rate this movie: 4/5.

and with that, issued to all members, goal setting card. pretty exciting stuff just planning for this year. what's your great plan this year? want to hear mine?? ASK ME!
yet another short post. :))

positivism.

2008-01-06T08:39:00.000-08:00

i read this off a cgl's blog which encouraged me:

You can give someone positive encouragement and positive feelings about themselves by using positive statements when talking to them. Try these on someone!
I like you!
I'm glad you're here today!
I'm glad you're in my den!
I thought of you during the week.
I think you're neat!
Nice job!
I knew you could do it!
Super!
I'm proud of you!
Fantastic!
I like the way you did that.
Thank you for helping.
Wow!
You must of been practicing.
I can tell you really worked on this.
Way to go!
That was the best ever!
Sensational!
That's right!
You figured that out fast.
Now you've got the hang of it.
Great!
You're really sharp today!
Outstanding!
Good thinking!
You really used your brain.
Bravo!
I'm glad you thought of that.
You're on the right track now.
You are a good listener.
That's really interesting.
We had a really good day!
I was proud to be with you on the trip.
Excellent!
You are so creative!
I like the way you handled that.
You have really improved.
Good idea!
You are so creative!
I would never have thought of that.
You're a good team member.
I like being with you.
I couldn't have done better myself!
You out did yourself today!
You make it look so easy!
Don't give up, you've almost got it!
You're really working hard today.
Keep on trying.
You're learning a lot.
You make my job fun!

Words can kill but words can also heal. One kind word will make someone's day but one bitter word will ruin the self-esteem of one. Pastor Kong once said when you say one bitter word to someone, it will take you to say 60 kind words to makeup for that 1 bitter word!
The bible says that words is like the rudder of a ship. Though small by it can control the entire ship.
No matter what situation we are in, let's find reason to be positive in every situation possible.

yeah. the words we say also frame up our life. what we say we are, we will be. (:
I AM WHO GOD WANTS ME TO BE!

it's twenty 08!

2008-01-02T06:09:00.000-08:00

God! it's a new year!

so countdown was kinda different. here are some pictures. :)

and that's actually the ferris wheel.
and now the well-improved "soundless" fireworks. smokefree soon?

so the word is simply: NEW.
Greatest Love: begin to lay myself down, ready to give, ready to receive.
Mum & Dad : love you 2 more than i had last year, get you wonderful people saved!
CG : grow closer as brothers and sisters, multiply once again!

Close Ones : get back those which were lost. build on those i already love!

Studies : oh, the GPA must increase! consistency in improvement.

i'm getting excited.
first blog post of 2008. ends here. haha.
“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”
- Jawarharlal Nehru (1889-1964)

NEW things.

2007-12-30T10:32:00.000-08:00

whoa!!! days dash by, by the hours. oh so quick.
how i wish it's back to the start of this year, but there's no turning back, indeed this coming year will be BIGGER, GREATER, BETTER and more FULFILLING!

and i'm proud of myself, having gone through all the ups and downs, complained here and there, but still i didnt allow myself to let loose, i kept my ground, though having lost footing sometimes. BUT still God was with me, THANK YOU. :)) the irreplaceable truth, way and life..

and just like what my blog title says: NEW things.
i recall Nixi having to preach about this subject, the first Cg meeting after the awesome multiplication. new things will come as a church, a CG, an individual.
and along with the message preached by Pastor Tan, the last sermon of the year:
What Is Necessary For Change.
decision, dedication, discipline. all part of my new year's resolution.
yeah. and tmr will already be time to countdown, ushering in the new year.
let me just say, each step at a time. i will re-pent, to His thinking and thoughts.
let's all do it together! We can do all things!

like this man on the street, i will stay positive, even if my circumstances are on the downturn.

time to give thanks.

2007-12-28T07:52:00.000-08:00

yeap here are some pictures from thursday's Masquerade Ball!!

I'M SO GLAD YOU GUYS LIKED THE COOKIES!

The reason for the season :)

2007-12-23T04:35:00.000-08:00

Jesus is the reason for the season!!!!
Christ's birth is the only reason why anyone would celebrate Christmas!
So how are you celebrating your Christmas? :)

and yes, F.O.C.U.S.
Friends, Outercall, Conviction, Understanding, Salvation!
without the 1st there cannot be the last ah!!
we have yet to hit, so let's keep up the tempo! each and everyday is still an opportunity for ME, YOU, US to do it! until the last minute.. we shall not cease to sow!
*personal reminder* heh.

and mum was just hilarious when she got back from work. i was already glad she bought log cake. but then she said:" Instead of turkey, we can have Bak kwa!"
she flashed me the 'Xiang Wei' Bak kwa. LOLS.

and it's just been awesome, but it can get better! and tmr's already Christmas' eve!
PRESENTS!

the wishlist :))

2007-12-21T11:36:00.000-08:00

no one has to buy me anything serious! give me candy cane i also want. LOLS.

haha. Just reminds me of Nixi wanting me to try shades on. HAHAAHHA.

I CANT WEAR SKINNYS. this is slim.

i think jerome has this. i want one from river island.

fervency and urgency have to increase. come as excited. don't be left out in the race for grace, from God.

it's going to be one good Christmas, i'm working for it.

My Bad.

2007-12-20T11:08:00.000-08:00

oooppps.
just didnt find the time to blog.
so many things to update on, ASAP YES I WILL.
stay tuned!

setting myself up.

2007-12-11T10:57:00.000-08:00

opportunities come so often sometimes, we let it pass us by, we don't even feel its an opportunity until we missed it. every opportunity missed is an opportunity forgone, and they all come in different sizes, shapes and times.
afraid you'll lose the next one? treat everything as a possibility for you to do better, grow, mature!
opportunities can come in form of problems! if i can see it, i can have it!

thank God tort and microecons mid-sem tests are over! high time to fly. heh.
and Xmas is already 2 weeeks away!!
just cant wait.
update again soon. :)

X'mas mood on!

2007-12-06T09:21:00.000-08:00

is it too early to have x'mas mood?? haha.
i think i'm just awaiting for the cheers, smiles, presents!! LOL. cos' when it comes, it comes.
scared i will not even feel the mood so having it now makes me bear a heart of expectancy!
and what's X'mas without the all so popular wishlist right.. hahahah. and santa so often comes in the form of best of friends, those who really know you and your wants and needs.
Oh God, call upon one man, one woman, to bless me and i'd make the person my best friend! HAHA.
there's a need for me though! : WALLET. (durable, one that lasts a long long time.)
wants?: later posts bah. still thinking. xD

well let's be blessed to be a blessing, prosper and bless that great friend of yours! season of giving mannnnn!! you may not expect it but i like dropping surprises! :))

discipline that brings transformation..

2007-12-05T05:53:00.001-08:00

that's what i want truly now.
whoa. i was hearing the sermon from Rev. David Yonggi Cho, the one he preached just last week. It's in line with what Pastor preached last week for me. The last month of the year already! I want to end this year as best as it can be, even if i start right now, for the end of one is the start of another, next year will be a much greater mountain to scale, but i'll reach the top!!!
http://english.fgtv.com/
just check it out. there's even a sermon search engine, so it really helps. Just type what you feel you lack right. :)

and one last thing to add: HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVERY!
the cutest guy in cell group, (and all the girls say? AMEN!) and he's just turned 12!
thankful for having you!
so let us know how much God has blessed you yeah? haha.

Obedience before Sacrifice.

2007-12-03T21:54:00.000-08:00

no words are able to tell how much i'm sorry for what i've done.
i will work hard for what is lost. i see God through you, and i know God will use me.
:) THANK YOU. a year ahead of me. i will learn! i will observe. God, let me see the things unseen.

I'M SICK. urghhhhhhhhh. i think last night i knew i was going to be sick already. felt the headache, taste buds going bland. but going to see a doctor in a while's time. mum's the best!
she's gonna get herself a handphone at last, last time always say its a waste of money, and what now? LOL.
and i've been blessed just yesterday. auntie called and asked: "Wenkai, you guys got a digital camera?" in my head i was like you need to borrow a camera isit. HAHAHA.
i went :"No, we don't have, only the normal film camera."
and my auntie went:" Well, I've a digital camera, would you want it? Come along to my place and i'll teach you how to use it."
WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. thank God! :)) yay. now i can capture those moments.

awaken my soul to who i am in You.

the little beginnings.

2007-11-29T06:37:00.000-08:00

yes. i'm beginning to embrace the start of my many small beginnings. this in itself is a little beginning. really praise the Lord for shedding grace and light for what blinds me. I LOVE GOD. :))
dont ever despise any small beginning, for every step you take is a step of faith, and you know you grow onto maturity, you touch lives along the way, see things happen you in your life and you do what you have been ordained to do. that's not all, but just want to end here, because that's not what i'm aiming at.
take heed to what has been told to you, responsiblilty given to you, surprise people by going over and beyond. HE sees it. expand your capacity!

i think i wrote all that to encourage myself. :)
and here are some pics my tort group took before the practicum.

LOL. i know it looks like i'm pointing the middle finger. I'M NOT.

LOL. SUPER CANDID SHOT LAH.

this is my class for you. joyous L01. cheers.

no worries!

2007-11-28T09:44:00.000-08:00

yay. client talk is so over!!
it's a load off the shoulders man! and mid-terms are approaching already. but what i'm seeing now is what lies behind and after them. HOLIDAYS. i so need them, or is it a want? hahaha. next week i'm so gotta have to chiong.. i want a gpa of 3! people who have to study and have not study please, study together with me. i have my questions!
and i just watched hitman earlier on. rating from me is like 2 out of 5. standard kinda killing spree, lacks the plot in 'the bourne supremacy' or 'ocean 11', love scenes are simply cheesy.
but i do plan to watch enchanted, heard it's good acting.

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
“I believe life is a series of near misses. A lot of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all. It's seizing the day and accepting responsibility for your future. It's seeing what other people don't see. And pursuing that vision.”
—Howard Schultz

<----- tag before you leave! HEH.

monday's blue.

2007-11-26T08:30:00.000-08:00

CELLGROUP MULTIPLICATION!

2007-11-23T07:40:00.001-08:00

YES. THE TIME HAS COME.

where we shall go therefore and make disciples.
my first ever cg multiplication, and i must say that we will miss each other and i'll miss you guys too. but let's keep each other in prayer, interceding for another.

new blogskin.

2007-11-22T11:24:00.000-08:00

lol. this blog shall not die. november 13 wasn't so long ago right. do you guys still come by and read my blog? haha.

kay. great happenings: 1] PASTOR PHIL PRINGLE 18/19 november.
2] i got in to otc gl! woohoo.
3] had dinner with mum again after so long!
4] one that i dont think is great: projects are here. urgh.

but projects are well on their way, except some bumps along the way for tort proj, please lah, why pbl? it's kinda causing more problems then it should be solving. abit unrealistic i feel.

2007-11-13T09:45:00.000-08:00

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH........

cracking my head over these silly things. silly they actually may not be, but they reproduce too many other thoughts for comfort. perhaps i should just take a step back and let everything else whoosh by. but, my conscience tells me not. both ways, im in a dire state.

but hey. fact is things that has already happened are non-reversible, but they can always be got back again, the momentum that is. truthfully, dying to myself and lifting myself into His hands, saves my every particle. QUIT WORRYING KAI, keep your eyes off them, and they probably stay too far behind you to catch up.

that's the spirit! lol. stress lahhh..
blogging can be a remedy. hah.

COMPUTER RESTART!

2007-11-11T10:11:00.000-08:00

lols. im actually blogging again. haha. not going to let this blog die kay!

well, let's see. like so many things have already happened this 2-3 weeks. abit of shifting here and there, made me go a lil dizzy, did lose one ounce of direction, but here i am steering myself straight to the way of my goals, dreams and destiny!! woohoo.
if He's with me, who can be against me? hehehe.

inspiration from God.

2007-10-29T10:19:00.000-07:00

it's my second time viewing that video of Pastor Cho's church last week in service, but it was all the same as encouraging as the 1st. :)
let me tell you what happened last friday! : late night skate scootering.. haha. thanks vin. relived my childhood with so much happiness even though it was just for those moments. sometimes even dream of having a younger brother to see my youthful self in him. oh what am i saying??? haha. im still 17.
and soccer was good ya.. realize i get easily fatigued. gotta run........!
and service like i mentioned was encouraging. think it with an excellent mind, believe so evidently in your heart, visualize with your eyes that see wide, and speak with the faith you've got! so many things i wanna see happening. but just one thing that i always wanna do. :)

and about videos. here's another one. build on the faith which may leak.

2007-10-29T07:27:00.000-07:00

YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS.

something. Lols.

2007-10-23T11:48:00.000-07:00

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhlhsB0VkkA

you guys (girls more likely, haha) should watch this. i think it appeared like very long ago, i know i'm slow, but who knows people out there slower. hahaha. joking. xP

getting it all together

2007-10-23T11:32:00.000-07:00

oh okay. it's time to pick it up again, doing it better, with a passion. it's not just going to be something i know, but something i know that can bless, be of something to others.

no time for slipshod, but only of doing with all i have. motivated not just for others, for myself, for Him. Feels like there's so much to be done, but there's actually so little when written down.

tell myself i can, for so did many before me.

no time for this and that, only for what i need and which has to be done.

not for showing results, but experiencing the process, Loving Him.

oh, for the love of humanity so much had to be given, a little me, can't i give a little to what was given at the cross?

truly so much can be said, discussed.

but heard this by Jo, as simple as ABC.

yr Action, Belief, Consequences.

apply your action, with good faith, out of it pours forth blessings.

I WANT TO TAKE THAT ACTION, no time left!!

no more blogging, done with the drawing board.

be a spiderman, batman.. an action hero. LOL.

let's all do it, for Him, with our love.

IM BACK!

2007-10-21T07:31:00.000-07:00

MY BLOG IS NOT DEAD.

friendship.

2007-09-30T08:33:00.000-07:00

time to sow.
time you branch out.
to be a tree outstretched with branches.
cling on to the roots underneath.
as you seek water, warmth from deep within.
souls, friendship, love..
it all starts from you, sowing that seed.

have you got my seed?

i'm changed for His purpose

2007-09-26T09:57:00.000-07:00

oh no. i blog like every 5-6 days for a weeks now.. haha. guess i'm just finding it kind of a hassle to do this. but again.. it does help me remember what've i been doing. LOL.
well. i ask myself. am i being forgetful or lazy?!! arghhhh.... ok. i'm done with complaining. convert all that anger into something productive. YAHHHHHHHH!!

this is another story i read online. about needs. well, only advice to you. if you already have the thought of viewing that cute guy's or pretty gal's blog. read on... hehe. :D

Fine Examples

My mother through her fine example instilled within me the desire to help others. She taught me to notice those whom others ignore. She was compassionate.

The railroad tracks were within a mile of our house. "Beggers" and "Bums" (as they were known) frequently would knock on the doors in our neighborhood in the summer asking for food. They were often turned away or rebuked. Others simply ignored the knocks.

My mom always went to the door smiling. She would invite them to stay and have something to eat. She would have me open up the card table and carry a chair out onto the covered side porch. There was a nice view into the flower gardens, and it was cool even on the hottest days.

She would bring a red and white checkered tablecloth and set the table as carefully as she did for any company. She would pour their coffee and pile their plate with food and dessert. Usually she sent a packed lunch with them when they were ready to go too. Sometimes she would take the newspaper to those who asked about work.

She listened to those who wanted to talk. She never asked what led them to be in this predicament. It did not matter. SHE ONLY SAW THE NEED. Some thought she should not extend this courtesy. She would say, "In the depression when my father was scouring around for ANY work to feed us, thoughtful people fed him. I am just repaying their kindness. I cannot offer them money, but I can see they do not leave hungry and discouraged."

My mom was quite a lady.

be it you're a man or woman, in life you know there are people around you having that need you can meet. women, as you know are sensitive. well, don't ask me why. God made them that way. HAHA. but we as men, let US all be sensitive to those around us also. lol.

btw, children's day is coming. i'm getting all geared up. heheheh. i try to blog more regularly, ya? chow!!

YEA. its my birthday!!

2007-09-21T10:46:00.000-07:00

MY TAGBOARD.

2007-08-24T22:21:00.000-07:00

ALERT: MY TAG BOARD IS UP.

Stories.. :)

2007-08-24T21:53:00.000-07:00

its saturday and i guess i'm happy. haha.
feeling a lil stress cos after all the exams are still just 2 days later?

've been looking through this website sharing people's life stories, and really like them. might post more of them here. here is one of the many good things:

A Cup of Coffee

My life began similarly to most of the kids in my family, with a mother who did the best she could before the father screwed up enough times and she left. That's the way it is in my family, you grow up not knowing what a father is and no one is there to teach you.

Consequently, I developed the usual problems with alcohol and drugs and spent seven years as a street kid, landing in rehab when I was 20. Inside I met my counselor, Bill, and he taught me a lot of things. The main thing was the gift of giving.

It was the night before a significant event and I was very nervous. Bill saw this and suggested that we go for a walk. As we walked and talked, Bill suggested we go for a coffee. I told him I was broke but when I got paid, I would pay him back. He stopped then and looked at me in a serious, but loving way and said, "No, you won't."

He followed by telling me that I didn't owe him anything and he was doing this because he could. He then told me something that has followed me to this day, "One day you'll be around someone and they'll need a coffee, and you'll be able to buy it for them. That's how you can pay me back."

I'm a youth worker now; far away from the life I had ten years ago. My job is simple, I buy kids coffee. Bill taught me how to do that.

how it relates to me: being a teachable disciple. and to teach others what has been taught to me. and passing the baton on. :)
any distress tips? haha.

NOT AGAIN. lol.

2007-08-23T09:27:00.001-07:00

chow. off to study.

hoooof.

2007-08-21T02:33:00.000-07:00

quit goofing around. gotta start concentrating man!!!

my cry out to the lazy garfield inside of me. uuuurrrgggghhhhh. hate you stupid sleepy cat.
no offence to cat lovers. haha.

might blog later about prayer meeting later. WOOHOO. excited yea. whahaha.

blessed be the Word of God!

2007-08-19T11:21:00.000-07:00

gonna keep this post short. gotta study. exams next week man.

the weekend was just the bomb. haha. exploded with fun and knowledge. dr. joyce meyers is just something else. to come to think of it... is she the only female preacher i've heard, i mean besides cgls? SHE IS!
a different look at verses which we have often looked across..
highlight of saturday : im gonna squeeze this day dry!
highlight of sunday: loving you as myself.. :)

as for today, i guess its just gonna be study study study. gonna seize this day!!!

revelation: every day, every hour, every minute and every second counts. will you put it into use? or just waste it away on worrying about tomorrow? use it wisely. bless someone, even if its yourself. :)

last day of my 1st semester.

2007-08-17T11:10:00.000-07:00

Last day of my 1st semester.

sure is fast since the start of school man.and its just gonna be another 5 semesters and im done with poly. gosh. time flies.all the more i need to grab hold of it and use it wisely.

got back some grades today. and... hmmm. not very fantastic. mid-sem tests kinda
affected them. but.. in the exams just know i gotta turn the tables! i can do it! hah. reminds me of bob the builder song. lol. so pretty much i have to mug again like i've done for Os.. really gotta see some improvements. :)

cg was fun today. haha. in future any new game can tell me. haha. we can all play it.
revelation from the Word was refreshing. the choice in cravings, vision, recognition as to how we progress in life just brought some ideas into me. thinking that. eg. a evangelist. he craves for souls, exposes himself to them. visions them coming, sets his goals in getting them saved. and be recognized as a soul-winning evangelist. :D "for where our treasure is, there our heart will be also!"

at last the weekend. yay. shall set it as my last 2 days of rest. after that is full throttle already.
vrooommmmm...........

tagged. haha.

2007-08-16T08:55:00.000-07:00

lol! a curious me just checking out others blog til i got to dorigo's. haha. thanks arh. :P
got tagged by him.

Weird habits.Rules of the game: Each player of this game starts off with ten weird things or habits or little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged must write in a blog of their own ten weird things or habits or little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you must choose six people to be tagged and list their names. No tag backs!

no.1: this has gotta be a habit. cant stop suaning people who reactions all very interesting. haha.

no.2: this is a habit. styling my hair before i go out.

no.3: this is also a habit: sleeping on buses, taxis, cars and trains most of the time if i'm on my own. haha.

no.4: weird thing arh.. i can only poop in my own house toilet.

no.5: another one could be that i like walking about on my own. self-exploration. hehe.

no.6: i eat alot and dont get fat. wahhahhaha.

1. adrina
2. andy
3. anzoe
4. ivan
5. phillina
6. samson

TAGGED. you're next. haha.

relief upon relief.

2007-08-15T10:23:00.000-07:00

is there the need?
question i will ask myself to people's reactions?
even i ask myself for this reaction to others', is there the need?

puzzled. but i will not bother. for God has filled my mind with purpose.
Take Up the Cross and Follow Him.
[Matthew 16:24-27]
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works."

RELIEF LAH. thank God for the good feedback and grades i got back from ms kurup about my telephone skills, outline and oral presentation. if not for it, wahhh... no idea how i have the morale to study for lsm. haha. and today maybe our last lesson with her. :/
an awesome careperson. finds the best out of people. a good listener. hmm. but she would still probably see us. haha.
and i cant wait for next semester to start already! gonna take cds. new modules. new tutors. oh please. i ask for good ones. NO ALIENS. NO UMBRIDGES. thank you.

HOT.

2007-08-14T00:02:00.000-07:00

the weather's super duper hot today man.
feel my brain's getting pretty fried up and *yaaawn*. humidity makes me sleepy.
exams are just a week away. and i have not started studying yet! oh.. thank God for study week. and how long has it been since i last studied? since O levels. like whoa. its like since last year?! its gonna be real hard to get back that kind of studying momentum.. ah.. i pray for a clear and focussed mind.

for you chaps out there who are either in the same situation, or otherwise experiencing your end of year exams soon.. please join me.. in crying out your grievances!!!!
nah. just joking. i suppose really gotta kick yourself into those piles of notes and textbooks to get yourself going. HAH.

cliche: study hard, study smart.

pastor a.r. bernard! ! !

2007-08-12T07:24:00.000-07:00

whoa again. being amazed everyday man.
overwhelmed by the clarity brought forth by the Man of God again.

hmm. it seems to spin in my head. thinking about it for a few weeks. to my surprise. it was just myself thinking too negatively. maintaining a positive mindset. to be a Daniel. how i wish i can be in a service to infinity and beyond. but on earth we are called to do the works of His. laziness sets in once in a while. but the carnal self has to be overcome through fasting. so much there is to change as Man fell into blemish. help us this day.

remember my review of the secret? haha. found myself watching it again on youtube. :)

probably it is due to the love that transcends between characters Jay and Rain that is drawing me to watch it over again. love that overcame time. that was constantly in tactical woo-ing. haha. sweet but always misunderstandings shake the foundation. oooooooh.. the love that the 2 shared causes the ache as they set themselves apart. tragic huh. but still, in the very end. unity.

have thought about this before. but i cant remember if i have typed it here before.

love is truly chemistry. we're all unique in our ways. being different elements. having different characteristics. we react to different things. we may freeze or melt under certain temperature. yet when we're chemically bonded. it is hard for us to break apart. we adopt one another's characteristics. we learn to react differently as well. and we may no longer melt or freeze under the same situation again. and we not only just bond to one other element but to many others. reacting differently all the time. knowing how to adapt.

however, one thing is that. we cannot be like elements always remaining merged together. but we retain the past bond. and forming new ones everyday. retain all the different good characteristics. being still the unique you. impacting other elements, spreading your characteristics.

love living life. :)

pastor a.r. bernard

2007-08-11T11:18:00.000-07:00

whoa. awesome day.

sang a new song. got ministered by the man of God. awesome fellowship.
all thanks to Him who created all.

FOP may have just ended last week, but i'm still craving for more delirious?. listening to Martin's interpretation of God's Word to him makes me feel just so blessed each time. and the feeling cannot be described just by the word 'blessed'. but the presence of Hiss glory is tangible to those who flow.

i could sing of your love forever
OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND THE SEA
YOUR RIVER RUNS WITH LOVE FOR ME
AND I WILL OPEN UP MY HEART
AND LET THE HEALER SET ME FREE
I'M HAPPY TO BE IN THE TRUTH
AND I WILL DAILY LIFT MY HANDS
I WILL ALWAYS SING
OF WHEN YOUR LOVE CAME DOWN

I COULD SING OF YOUR
LOVE FOREVER (x4)

O I FEEL LIKE DANCING
IT'S FOOLISHNESS I KNOW
BUT WHEN THE WORLD HAS SEEN THE LIGHT
THEY WILL DANCE WITH JOY
LIKE WE'RE DANCING NOW

ha.national day?

2007-08-10T10:35:00.000-07:00

hi all! i thought i had not blogged for days. it has just been yesterday. and yesterday was singapore's national day. oh well. not a patriot. but i do love sights and sounds here. the people. that probably sums up that i love singapore? haha. but dont know leh.. maybe i've never really done something for my nation? except to poop in it. hah.
oh. but do you'all remember there was this drama series focussing on the japanese occupation days, the before and after of it? i think those days when the drama was on tv.. those were the days i shed my tears for my country. forgive me my fellow countrymen.
how i spent it: eat, drink, sleep. oh and watch the live telecast. had a nice little reunion with my uncle and his family. man. my cousin's already a mum. gotta catch up sis! *she'll kill me if she sees this* haha.

and today. today was just loads of crap in school. pom was.. urgh... the old man played knick-knack-paddy-whack wateva on my toes. guess what was he laughing at today? he said" how certain can certain things get?" and he laughed non-stop at that. HUH? some of you may have the same sentiments as i. haiz.. his level of humor is abit out of reach for me ah. catch no ball. or worst still. no ball to even catch. LOL. okay thats lame.
fun part came in macro man. my group just does all the mcqs. and boy did we turn things topsy turvy in class. started out solemn and dead thanks to E.T. but my group prevails as the quirkiest people exists in my group. whahaha. had a great laugh. set off for lunch and the rest of school was quick to finish and headed off to marine parade.

2nd part of the day was.. solitary. kinda for a while. knew alvin couldnt have been home so early due to SOT. *woooh! gonna be there soon! in a fewe years. haha* so went to the nearby library to chill and study. studied till i felt my brain was rejecting econs decided to pick up random books to read, until i feel asleep! lol. typical me nowadays. sleep anywhere as long as the environment permits to so. sleep sleep sleep. some transition took place and wha la.. at the street soccer court. got kicked in the b****s twice. wasnt pleasant but no worries. not my 1st 2 times anyway. haha. had more of a training session. more transitions after that and here i am.

to be an atmosphere architect. will i am? gotta start practising!

cg outing!

2007-08-08T10:37:00.000-07:00

haha. today's a fun day. all credit to the cg outing we had.
went to buy ben and jerry's ice cream 1st before going to meet nixi. nice :)
others bought other goodies so ate at smu. played games. really glad that one of the new friends said he enjoyed himself. aloud. hehe. transition afterwards. more new friends came. praise God!

and now... my review of secret. not to worry. not here to reveal content. haha. but for a guy who can be jiapalang at times. this show isnt really for me. the guys beside me could really tell. LOL. goodness gracious for the lovey dovey stuff. but sure is funny cos its just so real, every couple will more or less say that kinda things. director was ingenious. loved the plot. hate the ending. cheesy yet real. touching yet unreal. watch and you'll get me. haha. many more movies to watch this week..........! : simpsons, rush hour 3, evan almighty etc..
this is indeed a cry out to those who have not watched any of those stated and want to watch with me! hehe.

oh. and a tribute to our country. i love you singapore. *cross fingers* used to even say the pledge with my left hand on my chest. HA.
hope we all have enjoyed today. work is not done yet! set the nets to retain the harvest!

wheeeeeee...

2007-08-07T20:25:00.000-07:00

what a great day to begin with after waking from a good night's sleep. and today's cg outing! haha.

"Abba, i ask for capacity, that we will not be old wineskin to bring in the new wine, that we may break apart, but we will be new ones able to contain and let it run overflow. rivers of living water."

read my cg's and members' blog. whoa. really encouraged me today. :) thanks guys. felt that some have gone on to maturity, others get more in touch with the Lord. whatever change there is. it's all in the glory of Christ Jesus. just thinking, Jesus did not die just for our sins, He died for our salvation, He died so we could live. like nothing else in the world, He knows you, even when you isolate yourself from others, even when you think no one understands you and your situation. He is there. God does not go to you. you go to him. for seek first the kingdom of God, and all things shall be added upon you.

be kingdom-minded.

wash me clean.

2007-08-07T11:34:00.000-07:00

hide me now
under Your wings
cover me
within Your mighty hand
(find rest my soul
in Christ alone
know His power
in quietness and trust)

when the oceans rise
and thunders roar
i will rise with You above the storm
Father You are king
over the flood
i will be still
know You are God

for You alone.

sleep in need.

2007-08-06T09:53:00.000-07:00

end of things. start of others.

end of fop starts a brand new week. hmm. the way i started this week was not quite what i expected but still good? interesting rather. haha. none the less. glad all presentations are over. at last. and hence, the need to start mugging myself! argh. the exams are in 20 days' time. but i know God will provide! :)

its just the start of the week but i feel it'll hit the end like in a day. fun-filled activities head my way and i hope i will enjoy myself to the fullest.

IS IT TRUE TODAY

CLOUDLESS SKIES WILL BREAK
KINGS AND QUEENS WILL SHAKE
YES, IT'S TRUE

AND I BELIEVE IT
I'M LIVING FOR YOU

hi all. didnt post last 2 days cos of all the excitement!

here's what happened on friday..

fabulous day. day of trials and tribulations. but turned out conquering each and every single one of them. had 2 oral presentations. and a test. and that was all i went school for.. sian rite. but praise God! 1st oral presentation was pom. presented well, funny the old man will mention my name, thought he disliked me. perhaps a breakthru. hah. i pray so. had the best comedy for skid! even we ourselves could not stop laughing during the act. had to eat an apple. and people called me Adam. gosh. my fall caused the sin of Man?!! NO!!

2nd oral presentation was for macroecons. may not have mentioned this, but it's by far my most disliked module in tp thus far. here are the reasons why: it's BORING. i have E.T. being my tutor. and lecturers are monotonous all the time. WORST STILL. they read off from our notes. get the point? hah. but anyways back to topic, scored a 11/15. i peeked at my score actually. E.T. didnt release. oh and for pom, got a 14/20.

and the test. regarding csa. a fairly alright subject. but i can improve! for this test. t'cher really grace and mercy.. let us off on minor issues. so got a .. er.. either 12 or 13/15.

HIGHLIGHT: FESTIVAL OF PRAISE. hallelujah. it has begun. first night felt the tangible presence of God. as we sang the songs, sure it touched many hearts as i heard the people release their burden up to God and have joy in having God so close in their lives. pastor phil was superb. agree with ivan, a good fop message where it was easy to absorb. and really admire pastor phil. great illustration of the kids in the backseat.. HAHA. post a thought: will you be willing, even afraid to receive what is uncomfortable, what you may think is not true, the DISCIPLESHIP, that will turn you to greater maturity? every true believer encounters this, sure you may have already gone throught it, or would experience in the near future. but what wil you do after? like every parent as they speak to their child, often you and i will go ya ya papaya.. say yes yes. but we dont get the gist of what they're saying. and dont take the necessary actions to mend our ways. similar to our leaders and God. we may give them the time to speak, but we never open ourselves to receive. often leaders pray for us to be yielded vessels, that's perhaps why. they want us to be malleable. be reactive. and do greater things for the glory of God. :)

today. let's see. its going to 10 and i am at jia rong's house again. haha. the last day of FOP. preparing myself with a heart of expectancy... hehe. see ya later.

no school thursday.

wooohooo. no school today. slept right through. needed it. apologize for not picking up the calls guys, phone battery went flat too.

singing:" today, today i live for one thing, to give You praise in everything i do! Yea all the praise goes out to You! Hallelujah!" Festival of Praise is finally here! awaited for it since last year, real on for it as my favorite christian band comes to town - Delirious?! yea. lead singer martin is awesome. and don moen is here again. and pastor Phil is coming, must say he's one of my favorite pastors as he's constantly being relevant to the society, being an artist himself. and he carries the presence of God with every word he speaks. now that is real anointing. haha.

thoughts of the past came today. as i lay undisturbed. secondary school pals and memorable moments replay in the visual headset of mine. missing all much. searching through some stuff. stumbled upon tuang's last advice. it says:" The wisest person is not the one who has the fewest failures, but the one who turns failures to best account." forgive his english for he only knows accounts. but in him is a firm stronghold. unquestionable that he is short. but he stands tall among all. secondary school. enjoy it while you can. made my best friends there. hope you do so too. forgive and let live. contact if it has been lost. for you know not when it hits you. when you all flow your seperate ways.

to all my o level friends. its your last year already! do everything you have not done! and i dont mean break every single rule. haha. forgive that idiotic psycho. say hi. lend the pen. clean the whiteboard. sweep the floor. lastly, leave a legacy. let your school still burn on the HARVEST FIRE. no faith for revival? you pray. but dont let it die down from you. pass it on.

Passing Through!

today i am REFRESHED, REPLENISHED and OVERFLOWED by the Holy Spirit!!! i have been attending the meetings for so many times and each time it is already a blessing and priviledged all wrapped already. today was extraordinary. a time for self-reflection of where we place our relationships of people. pastor once preached about it, nixi reminded me about it a week ago, relationship precedes ministry. i only had one thought direction about. not til today! only knew it in a way that for things to run smooth, you have to build working relationships where people enjoy each other etc. thats all the basics. the next level, love the ministry cos of the people! that blew me away.. like to the planet of Star Wars or something. haha. but it is really such a revelation amidst all the work. and truly the presence of God brought the whole house down. even during praise you wanna cry. and the 1st line of worship tears came down, not tears of grievances and burden but of JOY! for the joy of the Lord is your strength! Nehemiah 8:10.

POWER OF FELLOWSHIP. highlight of the day. learnt alot today and felt a greater fire is burning and hope to pass the fire. still working on weaknesses.. believing beyond myself, a breakthrough from God!

laugh...

lpb says today: "you guys are the best cohort ever in the law diploma course." i'm sure if you read this, you'd thought you're impressed. hang on, read this.. what she said 5mins before: "you guys have came up with the worst results for the lsm class test!" HAH. wad a laugh.. for all the knowledge, what's the use if there's no wisdom to use it. its like having a sweet and you eat the wrapper. Anws, thank God i got a 30/50.. thats a C. only 38% of the course got C and above. lpb says:" those who have C and above, keep it going, those under you can see me and work something out." guess that was a relief til she said this: "your cohort wld've scored lower if i didnt give you all sympathy marks, which is about 5 per person." CRASHHHHH.... that means i just passed? wad a test.

glad today was a joyful day... new slang i heard today... instead of why.. VHY? haha. how vunderful to b able to disturb parames. evil some would say. lessons were lessons. SLOW. but 'understoodable'...

and i'm sure excited today! got my blazer today. yay. shoulders look real broad with them plus a lil' baggy. cant help it, my arms need the length. just pray that i may look good in OP, but speak well also~!

on the bus towards TM, actually heard 2 girls from my school having conversation about cell groups.. made me feel that God is moving, a time of jubilee is coming, and all will turn to JESUS! oh.. and i've got a testimony to share and its all thanks to this blog! hehe. keep you guys in suspense til CG! yeah.. end here.. gotta study and do my cue cards.
