Today, I met up with Noni, Gang Yuan, Ming Han, Jacky and Xue Jun in church before we head out to meet Christian in a shopping centre nearby... We played lan as an outing for the whole BMI ministry, man that was fun haha.... Rachel, Wai Ching, and Liona joined us later on, and it was really hard to win against a few of them... Teamwork is really important, but chemistry too haha.... After that, a few of us met with some friends in church before going to another venue to play again... I felt a bit weird, after playing for so long... Arghh, I better go to sleep soon, if I don't want to overslept again tomorrow... After all, if I don't go to powerhouse, where am I gonna get the power from? Hahaha...

Today, I went to play soccer with Ben and Ashiq somewhere near Ashiq's house... Well, we had to wait for a few hours as some people are already playing at the field... While waiting, Ben and Ashiq decided to have a little Megaman Battle Network Duel, hahaha! It was funny as Ben was just bullying Ashiq with his skills and chips... I played too, and yup, I won Ashiq, but had a draw with Ben, awww... I should actually be better than Ben, but after cheating for quite a while, I kind of lost my touch haha... I'm gonna go back to normal gameplay after this, and make sure I have some of the old virus busting days again! After all, this kind of games, I bet I'm best at it =P

- Had a few things to do, but being with You is still the best. -

Wow today, the service was really full of not just hype, but presence too! Hmm, I would really like to get maybe one or two of Pastor Cho Yonggi's books... I bet it will increase my spiritual capacity... Ok thats it! I'm going to go to bookstore tomorrow to see which is the best I can get for myself! Today, it was fun doing BMI with Wa Ching, Wen Jun, Elgin and Ming Han! To tell you all the truth... I was feeling tired today, due to sleeping late... But it was what Wen Jun did and Christian said that woke me up. Christian said that Wen Jun was really very detailed... And I started to realise, even sometimes, I may be detailed in doing BMI, but I realise that I cannot just stay at that level, but rise higher! And the most easiest way to do that is to just simply jump higher when I wipe the glass mirrors haha... Ming Han told us ICs yesterday, that in BMI, if we catch the heart of it, we can leave the ministry already... And from that I believe that from what I have and what I have learnt... It is still far from a perfect servant heart... Even if I can't get one, I will get as close as to one as possible... I will not just give up, no matter how hard this race is, as God did not even stop running... I don't think I can catch up anytime soon, but I will try my best!

Today, a lot of us wore ties for and after service... It was quite cool as I feel that all of us are really united and really take what each one of us says seriously... D1, you are really one of the coolest CEGs, and I really thank God for putting me here...

Alvin,
Lover of D1,
Signing out...

Went for lunch with Colin this afternoon, and realise that there was so much I that I did not know about him, vice versa... After that we went up to church and chatted with Gordon for a while before he had his follow-up... We went up to admin office after that and after saying Hi to Lynette and Fifi and chatted for like 5 minutes, I suddenly had cafe as my second ministry, just like that! It was cool, but also stunning for a while... But, it was great, as I could serve God and people in another way soon, as soon as I am stable in cafe, that is... After that, the whole CEG had worship session and it was really powerful. Some of us had to leave at 5, because of Real man's prayer meeting help by Daryl Seah and Dominique. The prayer meeting really impacted me as it was about prayer for church growth and Dominique told us to go 4th dimention each of us, praying together with our own families at home, and just when he said that, I could really see it clearly in my mind that my Dad and my Mum was with me, raising our hands and really worshipping God... Then at that moment, my faith level went higher, and I could pray stronger, and my cough did not affect me at all during that time! It's really cool when what you 4th dimention is flowing with your faith...

When prayer meeting is over, the whole CEG went down to Kopitiam to have our dinner. All of us had fun talking to each other, just knowing more and to spend time with each other... Me and Andy had to do the B.R.P quiz and we went up to church to do it. It was funny as we could not see anything from our bibles as some of the church bands had a mini service with C3! But it was really cool I must say, that everyone had really learnt something from that strong service! Even sitting at the back, Andy and I could actually feel the power coming from the stage area.... We left after that with Dominique, Sam teo, John, and a few other church members.

Andy and I are still doing the quiz now, and I'm taking a break just to blog! Okay, got to go!

Today, I went to meet up with Ben at Queensway shopping centre to get myself a new badminton racket! It was a little expensive, but it was worth it of course! After that, we headed to Bukit Merah CC to start playing... At first I'm not really used to my racket, but after a while I started to get the hang of it... Wei Lun gave me a racket before, but it was a bit heavy, that's why I wasn't used to my new lightweight racket haha. Well, from now on, I can play with the others with my own racket! I have improved a little since the last few times I've played. And coming from Ben, he said that I can be better than Ashiq next time! But, next time is still long bah... I think that I'm already near average now haha... In case you all don't know, the racket cost $**! ^_^

Monday, March 23, 2009

A heart not to disobey,
Not to disown,
Not to drift,
Not to hate,
Not to grudge,
Not to deceive
Not to convert
Not to be affected by how others look at,

But to love others,
To serve others,
To affect others,
To serve without any hates,
To be alive with Your teachings,
To give thoughts about others before self,

To give you my all,
With all my heart.

- My heart that is entrusted to me, by You. -




Today, it was the final part of the talk by Pastor Sy Rogers... It wasn't actually continuation from yesterday's one, but it is also kind of like a new one. Which I myself, have also learnt that what I had given my parents so far are not enough yet, and I didn't really gave them much yet! It is time for me to reflect on my own mistakes, and also, to submit them to God myself. Even though He knows about it, I have to tell Him my mistakes, myself.

- I was created by You, but from my mother's womb. -

Sunday, March 22, 2009

Today during service, Pastor Sy Rogers came to talk about how to raise up sexual healthy kids. It was more of for parents, but I learnt a lot about parenting too. Not just that, it was also relevant to the world we are living in now too. Teens like us, are exposed to all sort of dangers in the world, and a lot have the wrong mindset about dating and marriage... I guess not everyone's parents talked about such stuff, don't they? I'm looking forward to the last session tomorrow afternoon, and is currently wondering what are we having for the ministry and healing part...


Anyway, two days ago, we had the long awaited D-odds chalet! It was really fun and took a lot of all of us... And I mean seriously, all of us are tired and some of us are even sick... We always gave our 200% to God, and I believe that all of us gave our 200% to get together and relax for this chalet too! Firstly, I would like to thanks everyone in the planning team, that they are able to plan out something so wonderful and exciting for all of us! Secondly, thanks to all our Leaders spending their precious time to think about this chalet and what to do as well! It was great to be in How Teng's team during the chalet, because everyone in the team were well guided by her and Colin, was really boosting up everyone morale! Hahaha! Colin is having a slight fever now, so whoever read this post, can you help to pray for him? It is going to be awesome when he is back, fresh and healthy again!


- Thank You for giving me the best friends I can imagine. I believe that what people do with one another do make a lot of difference in the Spiritual world. -

Today, I met with Mian Kai at Bukit Merah bus interchange, and then we went to Ben's house to play Guitar Hero. It was my first time playing it, but I could kinda get the hang of it. Seriously, it was a very cool game and everyone should try it! After playing for a while, we went to play badminton nearby... I used my Dad's racket, and got a little scolding from him at night, since it got scratched a little lol... After badminton, we went to Macdonalds to get a quick bite before heading back home to play Counter Strike haha... My mum bought for me wanton mee for dinner, and she thought I was not full, and bought chicken rice for me later at night... Well, I might not be hungry, but she took the effort to buy it, so I tried to eat as much as I could... I know that my parents are a little tight on money, and yet they still things for me, I believe I can repay them back, not just on money, but to care for them more... After all, God let me come to this family for a reason... I can't just live my own life without doing much good things to pay back my parents...

Sunday, March 15, 2009

Today, I went out with my Dad... Sad to say, but I haven't went out with him for quite some time already... Both of us went to Sim Lim Square and bought rams for our own computers... After that, my Dad said that hes very hungry, so we went to a nearly Burger King and I watched him eat while I eat spiritually, reading my Bible On The Go that is. Rushed home after that, because my Dad had to attend his friend's wedding dinner. My Mum went to work soon after we got back... And I had to eat on my own, haha. I'm looking forward for the badminton match tomorrow with the others... Hope I can play with my aching legs! I also found out that my friend Mandy loves the Earth more than a lot of us hahaha... Well, like it or not, we will still have to stay here for the rest of our lives, right? Whoever is free on 28th March, just switch off your lights for an hour from 8.30pm to 9.30pm, and it will be fun too! You COULD have a candlelit dinner with your family as well! Thanks God for creating this world! We will treasure it, we promise, just like You did!

Haha, went to church today for another BMI training by Noni... And I did a lot of things with him, Miaow Guan, and Ming Han! Simple things like restock, washing of vacuum cleaner, and changing of lights. They may be small, but very helpful in some cases! Played Left 4 Dead with some of them after 9 pm, and we really had a lot of fun. Sidney was playing for the first time, but he played like a pro haha... Took cab back home with him, and I'm really feeling tired now... I don't think I'm going to IT Fair tomorrow, since I'm so tired... And I could use a LOT of bible reading and pray as well... Good night to all and myself xD

Had badminton today with Ashiq, Ben, Wei Lun and Wei Liang... It was fun and challenging to play with them... Each of them have their own style of playing and in addition, they were so pro at it... Ben as usual, done a lot actions and well, most of the actions he did the shuttlecock went to the other side and we won. I believe if I play with them for some time, I will become better at it as well... Ashiq, Ben and Lun had a little match before we left, and Lun won haha... We are going to play again this friday, and I'm feeling so tired already... After swimming yesterday and badminton today... I really have to train my stamina, and try to beat them at least once at their own game =P

Time I have given somewhere else.
Sorry for letting You down.
I will get back to You soon before I fall apart again,
Because You are the glue holding me together.

I cannot understand how You do it,
Because Your thinking differs from mine.

Thanks for the Grace,
And in return, I give you back my life.

- Return -




Staring at a blank space,
Might as well look out of the window and into the sky.
Not knowing where to go,
Might as well stand at the side of the road.

Given your life to the Devil,
Why not give it to God?

After all everything including you belongs to Him,
And He just wants you to go back to Him.

- Belonging -




Today, Pastor Josh Kelsey came to preach at out church! It was so wonderful as we did not see him for quite a while... It's great that his injury is healed, thanks to God of course haha... I believe what he said about us being chosen disciples of God... After service, the CEG went down to eat, but we split, because there was no seats! That is like the first time after so many months haha. One thing's for sure, it is time for Singpost to keep up with our growth speed, amen! It is always a wonderful thing to do BMI in HOGC, as I know that even if all of us in the team are sick, we will still continue to do our duty! Guys, maybe you all don't know who is Bernard and Miaow Guan, but please Pray for them! Miaow Guan is having a slight fever and Bernard had a dry throat... Please Pray for them! Thanks in advance!

This morning, woke up and Dad got me duck rice for breakfast! After that, I just spent sometime talking to Ben, Ashiq and Mian Kai. We met for a badminton game in a few hours time... When we were all out... actually the time is over... We went to a nearby shop to buy cup noodles before playing poker cards while eating somewhere around Ben's neighbourhood... Went home to play Counter-Strike, but was too tired to do so... So blogged instead... I'm going to take a short nap now, bye!

- Give me time, and I will bring You to my friends. -

Thursday, March 5, 2009

During one rainy weather, I fall.
I cannot believe my eyes,
But I indeed fell.

People walked pass me,
But did not turned back.

You stopped by,
And lent me a helping hand,
And gave me a warm jacket.

From then on,
I depended on You.
Because of You, my life will never be that same gloomy weather again.

- Brokenness -




Today, me and Ben (Yoshi) went to macdonalds early in the morning to eat! It's good that my tummy can finally take food in the morning... After that we decided to call Ashiq to see if we can go his house afterwards but he wanted to sleep, so we just put down the phone and let him go back to his dreamland. So the both of us went home and played Counter-Strike for a while, before I fell asleep on my chair. After waking up, my Mum was so kind to buy me food, just as I need it. I feel like a pig today, since I only play, sleep, and eat. Going out with Ben and Ashiq later for supper, and I know that it will be great! After all, my Faith is not for show!

- Later on...

I reached first, but the rest was still at home... I went to Ben's house and walk with him to MacDonald's... and Ashiq reached while we were walking there... Before we eat anything, we sat down and chatted about DS games (even though I don't have it). After that, we had a short card game that actually test our mental calculation and Ben said it was great to help test our mind before exams... It's about putting four cards on the table and add, minus, divide, or times, to get twenty-one. Yeah, maybe it is quite simple to a lot of people, but not me... I'm not really good at it really... So, Ben came in first (like duh), Ashiq second, and me last. Lol. It was fun alright, at least I know what to do to poker cards other than playing the usual games. Ben was crazy and bought a twenty pieces chicken Mc'nugget, and a burger... Well, the meal is shocking, but when you see who's eating it, hahaha... We even talked about the game Megaman, which was mostly about the skills we had while playing the game... After that we split up at Bukit Merah Bus Interchange and head back home... Had a final Counter-Strike deathmatch for the night, and I lost... But, it was still fun, because I'm playing with my KhC* clique! Well, this will be my last post for today though... Got to sleep soon! Got a match of badminton tomorrow afternoon! =P

- We got together not by chance, but by a God who chose for us to be friends. -

Wednesday, March 4, 2009

We have been put in place and chosen for this.
Let's all prepare to do our best and give God our all.
Because our efforts are His sweat.
Because our joy is His joy.
Because our love is His love.
We will trip, but not fall.
We will save, but not be selfish.
Given to us faith, faith we give back.
Given to us unconditional love, unconditional love we give back.

If we are tired, let us rest, but not backslide.
Lest we fail, we shall persevere.
Away with the Devil, and comes our God.
With the Spirit in us, we fight.
A mighty battle, but for our loved ones.

Save your friends, and not leave them be,
For we seek for them to be in Heaven,
Alongside us and God.

- Salvation -




Well, after fasting for a full day, I kind of understand how the kids of GSC lived in the past... I used up a lot of energy for yesterday, so... felt kinda weak when I reached home... Haha, I'm going to get a job by this week, to earn enough money to go for the trip! God you are really the best! And this have really made me go closer to you that's for sure... I promised to fast for three days, so I have to do the other two days soon! Lol.

The Dodds meeting today was really fun! We had guessing games and I saw Viknesh leaving the room after eating his forfeit, a bitter gourd! We worshipped God and prayed for a while, after the meeting, we had some snacks at the Alfresco. I did not eat because I was saving my stomach to eat later on... After snacking, we gathered to play some weird clapping game and wacko! It was so much fun for everyone who participated. Today ended fast, as we have our dinner at Singpost's KFC and head back home...

- Fun doesn't always last, but our Friendship does. -

Sunday, March 1, 2009

Today marks the end of the Affluence to Influence conference... It was fun and helpful though, that I have to admit. What Pastor How and Pastor Cleo had said, had impacted me a lot! And at the end I felt that it was my time of calling, to go and help the kids of General Santos City, in Philippines. I know that I really wanted to help these kids with whatever I can! And so I decided to go home and ask my parents, not knowing whether they would agree or not. But after telling them that this is my dream before I go for National Service, they agreed! I believe that God had given me the green light, that is why I was able to go! I know this is crazy, but I want to try what Pastor How said... To starve myself for three days, and my reason to do that is to understand what the kids in General Santos City have gone through before they even found Destiny International... Well, I'm starting in five minutes time, and good luck to me!





This morning Mian Kai, Jeanette, Viknesh, Wei Liang and me went to Kaye's house to celebrate Zach's (Kaye's little brother) birthday. His actually birthday is actually today (Like now), but we celebrated it earlier. We played Uno and Lynn (Kaye's little sister) and me have to do forfeit. But I felt kind of bad because only she did the forfeit during lunch... After lunch, we all gather to build a hamster mansion, and trust me, it is big for A hamster. The hamster tried running in the house, but it kind of hurt itself I think... Everyone had fun building the house, and I was the only one not really doing anything... Once we built it, After all the fun we had, we went to church for Affluence to Influence session two. It was a great session, but I must admit that for session three I nearly fell asleep due to insomnia the night before... We had fun during dinner time too! Some of my CEG mates, Mian Kai and I were introduced to Yolander's family haha! They were funny people too, and I they really look like a family! They have this kind of happy feeling surrounding them, or maybe because they are in HOGC? Haha, I'm not sure... Well, that's the end for today =P
