[-- A thought that counts a lot. --]


Wheee~ First time at YYC, and it was really nice to hangout there for the kids I suppose. They were all happy, hanging out and playing with each others... Hahaha, I'm so long gone from those days... Right, I'm old...

I had BMI duty with Ruo En, and Sam Woo over there! It was fun getting ourselves all messed up for the smiles we could bring to the kids! Hahaha, truthfully, the place was actually quite clean already! The size of the place was around the size of the MPR 1, but I can say that there is a feeling of a home's warmth there. Whoooo, I'm going there for BMI next Wednesday again! Can't wait to see the kids hahahaha, they look so happy...

Hahaha, while I was doing duty, I was given a little crane by Qiu Ting's little sister... She could have just asked me to get it myself, but gave it to me... Any sincere thoughts that kids have, are real, and unique. Always did BMI in church, but felt so cool this time round... A thought that counts... Oh yea! The next generation is gonna be great!




[-- Not sure how, and reflected. --]


Had BMI duty today, supervise the whole of it... Felt bad for giving a not so confident briefing... And really hope I will do better the next time.

Noni asked me a question : Did I met my objectives?

I wasn't sure of how to answer then, but I know now... It's No.
Hahaha.... I'm going to keep asking myself this question, I believe it will help.

[-- Time to treasure, not to waste. --]


Time of need, time of hunger, time of work... Time just takes it all, doesn't it?
Is there anytime, whereby we are truly free, and capable of controlling time?

Time spent with people around us... Those are times that we should treasure... Times of gaming, blogging... All these could be forgotten...

God had made time for us to treasure... Every second of time spent, might be a second of your treasured memories... Our minds are not to only think and control our limbs, but to store our treasured times... I have spent a few years of my life away in vain. But, I'm only beginning to understand the importance of it now... Spend time with our families, and love them as long as we can... Because we will not know what time will make us do the next second...

Save your memories... Save your time... Earn your relationships... Make time a thing that God had given to us, not control us.

*While writing this post, blogger had maintenance... A few of what I have written is gone, and I have just proved my point. To treasure time, do things earlier... To treasure memories, remember the details...*




[-- A friend with a heart without blockages. --]


Hahaha, went to look around blogs today, since I'm so freeee... Saw Ben Tan's blog, and really felt that he could really express his feelings well! Maybe he could be a writer, or better yet, a songwriter! Hahaha so many things he have said, and there is just so much that I can't really do, I'm just too... How you say... Simple? Kiddy? Shy?

Overall, it is just great to have friends who really expresses themselves, regardless of online or offline. I mean in virtual or reality. Hahaha, maybe I can try... But might end up failing...

x_x




[-- More of serving than willing. --]


Hmm, what I want to talk about today is that for BMI today, I know I like it and love doing it, I have to be honest with myself. I'm really tired for doing this week... And when it was night, I was really tired, and I found it a bit hard to carry on, but I continued to do so. When everything was about to end, we had to help the ushers, no, it was them who helped us. By then I was hungry and thirsty, and temptation really kicked in... Sorry, but I was too weak to get rid of it by then... It made me feel a bit uptight, and struggling to get rid of it, was really tiring, and drained my energy even more... And it even made me tried to get my good friend Miaow Guan to try and go eat with me... Thanks to him for pulling me along for that last minutes, that I was able to get rid of the bad mindset... Back to serving, but really hated that moment... Haha, to think that even ME have to go through that, even when serving in my favorite ministry... Devil, you are really bad... Well, happy that it's gone...

For everyone who read this, struggle if you must, never give in to temptations, and it will be over very soon.

[-- Serving, Befriending, Loving. --]


Wooooo, today's RR concert blow our hats away! It was really a lot different from last year's! BMI was really xiong, but everyone who helped out really made a big difference! A person's work in BMI will really differs a lot, and the best was the end of the day, where everyone helped out! Was nice... Everyone in church really worked together.... Wooooo!

I knew a new friend today, whose name was A Lim! He was funny, had PO, but came to church, and had fear of heights! Hahaha, I have that too! x_x

Hahaha, my new friend didn't turn up today, hahaha, instead of feeling sad, somehow I feel closer to God. I just know that he WILL turn up one day, and that day is coming soon! God, let's sow this seed together! Amen!

[-- A sudden response, a sudden prayer. --]


Went to church for BMI at 3pm, and joined Red Rain prayer meeting later on at 6pm. Haha they had a few new songs, and it's really nice! Halfway through prayer meeting I can feel my tummy hurting, too xiong liao... But who cares? As long as I got closer to God, I'm ok with it! ^^

I'm not going to back down with a response given by my friend. Not coming? I continue to pray! Gavin, God is not going to stop loving you! So are all of us, your friends!

Have a great night rest everyone! Concert tomorrow will be awesome!! Lets take a deep breath and say good night!!!

[-- Finally enjoyed eating! --]


Wow, went for a great dinner with Ben and his friend at Carnivore at Vivocity... It was fun, seeing so many types of meat going around you... Mouthwatering I must say... But after a while, it was just torture, because our stomachs were full... Haha, first time I ate so much at a buffet(Duh, it was $42). Saw fire in my wallet, but it was really worth it haha... Hope one day I can go there with the whole CEG! Haha those who enjoy eating will enjoy more! The things there were nice, to the extent that we do not feel scared of meat even after eating so much of it...

After dinner, Ben's friend went home... Ben and I just went to a cafe nearby and slack for a while, enjoying coffee. Forgot that I had a full stomach, and went ahead to order a large size coffee... Even now, I'm still feeling full... Argh, coffee, you make me sleep.... zzzzzz..... Who needs wine and beer to make you sleepy and drunk? Coffee does that for me haha...

Ahhh... Be right back! (Stomachache)

[-- A kind like no others... --]


Wow, the sermon video we watched today by Pastor Bill was really impacting our hearts man! A shepherd from the bible, watching his sheep being eaten by the lion, went all out just to put it out from the lion's mouth... and only got a pair of legs, and a piece of ear back... The full story really made us think about how we treated our friends, and how we should treat them, knowing them, loving them, caring for them. Even if they are not all that good to you, you still have to love them.

Haha, I'm not sure if what I'm doing with my friends is loving them a lot, but I'm gonna do more for them! ^^

[-- Another break... --]


Awww, nothing to do again... I wonder if for now, mondays are the days to train myself to be a pig... Hahaha did QT and had revelation! Waa... nothing to do, and my blog turns into twitter instead.

Mark 10:44-45
"And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all."
"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

Wheeee, almost time to go to bed... Who am I kidding, like I WILL be able to sleep... It's like insomnia, ah ah ah~ It's like insomnia, ah ah ah~ *AH CHOOO*

[-- Not forgetting Your will for me. --]


Haha, had lunch with Liang, Ben Lee, BigBen and Kai at NP... We were like playing Dai Di as dessert... And me and Liang had the Steak there... It was not all that bad, since the packaging was nice, and the sauce was superb. I think I'm going to meet them there more often, to try out everything there! Haha and to also spend some time with them as well...

Me, Liang and Ben Lee went to church together after that, and we met the rest of the CEG at church, spending some time with them also... CG today was awesome, I had a lot of fun worshipping God, playing games, listening to Jamie preaching =P

Haha I'm not going to stop at what I'm doing, since God promised good to me. What I'm doing may not sound very exciting to a lot of people, but I really am starting to enjoy serving now... I'm going to start my first duty as Supervisor tomorrow, and I'm not scared, since Ming Han will guide me through it! God, watch me, I'm going to prove that Your choice is right!

[-- Spending time, earning friendship. --]


Haha, woke up this morning, and Andy asked if I wanted to join Ben Lee, Edwin and him for lunch... Agreed since I'm free, and head off to Singpost. We had fun talking about school stuffs, and a few nonsense haha... Ben and Edwin went for a basketball game, while me and Andy went to Toa Payoh deliver 2 letters to 2 integrations. Hahaha, after being near Singpost for quite sometime, we have become postmen! Haha just kidding. Andy decided to buy some chocolate for them, and the chocolates were a bit too big... When we put in the letters into the letterbox, we squeeze the chocolates in too haha... We went home after that, since we had nothing to do anymore...

After reaching home, Liang was bored and talked to me... Both of us made up a little story... It was half done, so I decided to complete it. Here it is : Once upon a time, alvin was walking on the road, then he found out that he forgot to bring his wallet and ran back home. And when he reach his home, he found his wallet, and thanks God that its intact, even though it was beside the iron. He took his wallet and took a cab down to church to pay his tithes. And Jamie came over and said : "Tsk tsk tsk, taxii ar...." Guoxiang came over and said : "haiyo told u ask Taxi drive u le, u dun wan. now have to pay 13bucks." Then Wei Liang walked pass, feeling sad cos he have not drank anything today, and Guo Xiang went with him to Kopitiam. Wei Liang and Guo Xiang then walk to herbal tea shop to buy liang teh for the leaders, and head back to church, then the whole CEG went for dinner with the Leaders. Alvin bought popcorns from NTUC, then... *this happen again again...* he trip and popcorns flew out. Then being a good BM crew, he rush to church to get his "weapons" and cleaned it up. Before he reached kopitian, the cleaners have clean up everything, and when he saw that he shouted:" WAH GEI YAN!" Then he went back to church to hangout with his friends. And everyone was very happy for that day, and went back home to blog about it. THE END.

HAHAHA what a joke... I wonder if it will ever happen. Anyways, time to end this off, END.

[-- I believe, I believe, I believe! --]


Today, woke up this morning to attend Colin's CG! It was cool, since all of us were just singing away, without any guitarist or music at all! This is real man CG man! Woo it was really fun!

After that, I went to eat with Timothy, Andy and Cheng Ming at KFC! Hahaha, it was a great lunch! I wanted to meet my mum at Tiong Bahru Mrt after that, but she insisted that I meet her at Paya Labar Mrt instead... I did a little of BMI with Jacky and Ting Wei, it was short, but it was fun as always! Think that that will be the last time I will be I.C... Haha man, those days were cool, but now it is time to go up to a new level! Thanks God for that! Amen!

Next up, after meeting with my mum, she look real happy and surprised coming to my church, seeing that it look like a movie theatre, said by her. I had her sitted down, and Dom's mum, aunty Stella, came over and talked to my mum about church, and what I was doing in church! Haha they even talked about how to make one of the best soups recipe! Sad that I don't understand, otherwise I could cook for myself hahahaha! They became friends real quick, since my mum love making friends... She could even make friend with a stranger in a lift in like, 10 seconds top? Haha, we ate and chatted happily, and was glad that she wasn't feeling weird, but feeling comfortable... During Praise, I encouraged her to clap, she did it! My mum doesn't really understand English, but she understood the whole service, even without the translator! I know that it is God who made her understood everything, because after service she couldn't really understand English again... I'm so happy when I asked my mum the question : Do you want to be a Christian? She told me that she will think about it, with a smile on her face. I know that it is unbelievable for me, but I'm really happy about it! God, all my prayers worked out in the end, and I believe her heart will open up even more the next time! She told me she is willing to come again, if she is free! Woooo, mum you rocks! God you rocks even more! Hahaha, I wonder what we will do for the Parenting Workshop, haha I really thank God for bringing me closer to my mum as well... Even if my mum is not a Christian yet, I would really want to get her saved and see her in Heaven! Hahaha, I'm just too happy already... Guess I will sleep later, after my "happy drug" is out! Hahahahahaha ~~




[-- A moment of truth, and love. --]


Wow, went for BMI meeting this morning and it was great to the max! I'm really looking forward to the next one!! It's going to be better! After that, I went to Queensway to meet Jeanette and Guo Xiang to get ''the box''. Haha it was fun, had quite a few minutes of shopping. Jeanette if you are reading this, sorry for today! I'm pretty out of line I believe. Sigh, that's that's.

I rushed down to church and arrived for the last testimony. It really touched my heart. I do not understand the guy's feelings, but I can sort of understand, because some parts of it reminds me of my mum. I know that it is bad, but what can we do? Our mothers are our mothers, they are not some friend who you do not like, and just stop calling them or hangout with them. But our mothers... without them, even if God created us, where do we come out from? The gift of salvation, if my mum accepts that present, I believe that it will be the only greatest gift that I will ever give to my mum. Tonight, I'm going to pray about it. I'm not going to let my mum drift away from God anymore, not tomorrow, not ever.

[-- Your love, my prayers. --]


Stayed at home the whole day, playing, eating... But decided to pray, after thinking about the people I wanted to pray for... I have learnt from Pastor Cho that there is no need to use any flowery words for God, as He knows already what we are thinking... After Pastor Steve Munsey prayed for us, I know that with God's love, we will begin to impact our friends and families... I believe that through prayer, God will move. Even if a minute of prayer while travelling, God will move. That is what I believe, and that's what I'm going to do. From what I have did yesterday, I have already learnt how to cast off my pride as a person, and to pray, whenever, wherever...

I believe in Your love.
I believe in Your work.
I believe in Your move.
I believe in Your ways.
I believe in You.

Let's all pray for people we want to pray for the most ok? God loves them, and we love them too.

[-- Entertaining day of excitement --]


Yay, finally saw how Ben look like with his graduation robe. He look like a wizard man... Haha, after that, Liang, Ben and me went to church together. We were discussing about weird things like sounds in game... Yea and it was fun, a few people in the bus kept looking at us as we make the sounds hahaha... After reaching church, Ben and me were looking at Liang as he does his Econ quiz, which scored average, but to him he said it was bad... While he is doing the quiz, it was so funny, he was like going to burst anytime.

CG today was really cool, Viknesh had an amazing game for us, and we all had fun shouting and doing forfeit... (Thanks ar Hui Min.) Haha just kidding. After CG and on the way home, I really have this urge to pray for my good friend on the bus... And it may be weird, but pride aside, I just did it. Haha, two more hours to my regular Quiet Time! Yay!

[-- Taking a break, relaxing foot --]


Haha, time at home, is time of doing nothing but relax... Things of what I've done, are not reflected at home... Bored to see television, went to dreamland instead... Taking a step forward at home is not possible... Having to wonder what I will do the next second, is making me think more about what I DID the past second... Very much bored at home, since no one except me is around... Went to take a chocolate bar, but found it expired after eating half... Having a computer, is better than none, but better without... Leaving it there, being online, nothing to see except worldwide web... What is it actually good for?

Well, just crapping actually. Nights!




[-- The feeling of the first time --]


Well, those who knew me should know that I have done a lot of BMI duties already... But today was a different thing... Even though some of my CEG mates were new, still, when I did BMI today, I had the same feeling as the first time I'm doing it... It was so fun, and well, I made mistakes too... Sigh, I have not used the checklist for a while now, so I forgot some places to clean up... Heres to say sorry to my team x_x

Haha did not really got a chance to share this earlier, but everyone in my team were so cool. Fun and laughter were one thing, but the desire to get the place clean came first... Hui Min, Nelia, Jerlyn and Charmaine really got things done fast, they even got places not written in the checklist cleaned... Haha D1 is really different I guess, and I'm so happy to be in it! =P

Well, later on, had dinner with Jerlyn, Felicia and Mabel at Long John Silver... Sigh, the food was nice and all, but I'm still hungry now... Alright, time to get some food! Nights!

[-- Love friends, love all --]


Went for movie this morning at 3am. Haha, after that took nightrider to Harbourfront, and ate Mcdonald breakfast. Went home after slacking there for 2 hours, and got ready to go meet Hui Min and her friend ( Ahhh, sorry for forgetting who she is!! ) to buy some fruits for Pastors and Leaders! Well, the apples are really big, and cost... a little high for apple, hahaha... After that, we went to Singpost Kopitiam and met up with the CEG... Sort of.

The service today was really cool, and we had more drama than preaching, by Dr. Steve Mundsey (Sorry if I got the name wrong ) It was really very impacting, and reminds us, of how much God loved us all... It was a drama about a Preacher of a big church, given a Prostitute as a wife from God, and they had real love. The wife bore kids for the Preacher, but owned up that the kids aren't his... And that she had AIDS... The preacher was hardbroken, look at his kids and thought about what to do with them, but ended up loving them still, and treating them as his own children. After being struck with an illness like this, the wife left, and intends to sell herself as an ANIMAL, because she was not who she used to be, she had lost her figure, and was sick all over... Animals by animals were sold, and when it was her turn, nobody wanted to buy her now, even though she was worth 5000 pieces of silver in the past. And nobody wanted to buy her, even for 1 piece of silver. The preacher raced to the place, and shouted that she was worth 15 pieces of silver, but bought her for 30 pieces of silver. She was again with her husband and kids in the end...

Yea, it is just so similar to what God has done for us, giving His only Begotten Son, to die for us and our Sins... Dr. Steve prayed for all of us later on, for us to have to love of God, and to love those that we have in our minds.

Yup, people in my mind... Four of them... Friends... And family......

[-- Prayer warriors --]


Haha, slept like a log today. Woke up at around 11am, and had potato chips for breakfast... Found a few things to edit for my private maple server... Feels good after editing them, proof that a beginner like me can also make a private server. Played it with Ben and he says it's not bad haha... After that, I went to church and attended prayer meeting at 9pm. Went for the second prayer meeting at 1am, and going to go for the next one at 8am. Haha, going to stay at church today, and it really is fun, since I get to spend the night with my CEG mates! Pray too much you think? Haha, it is not much as long as we enjoy the promise that is given to us! Yea! Nights, or mornings, I would prefer... Bye!

After staying over... We had supper/breakfast at around 4 plus am... With Yolander, Viknesh, Guo Xiang, Jeanette, Andy, Ben Lee, and Noel. It was so cool, spending time together like this... For the second prayer session, it was a good thing that I went, because God ministed to me, and He encourages me to keep going, and that I will have a great reward from Him in the future... Well, I will like to thank Jieru for praying for me as well, and God, I thank you for the answer that I have been seeking for... You are really my Father, my Best Friend, my Lord.
