A Hunger For More...

Missing to Cook

2009-03-26T00:11:00.003+08:00

Some of you might had trouble finding me on Wednesday night. Why is that so? Because I went to cook! Haha. Decided to try out a dish stated in a cookbook I recently purchased. The dish is called Potato Fritters with Chorizo. Originally it is a dish from Spain.

It has a very nice feel to it. It's crispy on the outside, but soft inside as it's made up of potato. As you chew so more, you might get a bite of the dried chicken sausage. A very unique dish. If it's available outside, I might want to give it a try.

I'm Calling

2009-03-08T21:17:00.003+08:00

This song is awesome. So impacted by it. Here's the link to listen to it: http://www.imeem.com/people/RJR-1c/music/K7jXpum7/giving-my-best-im-calling/

Here's the lyrics:

I'm not here to comprehend
I'm not trying to pretend
That all these shiny things
In life can bring the happiness that I crave

Help me Lord to stand my ground
Help me never to back down
On what I know to be the
Truth and faith in all that I believe
You're my grace (You're my grace)

I'm calling, I'm calling out Your name
I'm running faster straight to where You are
I'm falling deeper in Your love
Help me find my way
To bring glory to Your name

I'll live for You in all I do
I'll walk with You through all
The storm that crashes over me
And walk out with the faith that I believe

You're my redemption
You're my King
Your passion for me is
The strength I have to face this crooked world
For You have died to set us free
You're my faith (You're my faith)

Jeremiah 33:3 says that "'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.'"

What are you waiting for? Let's call out to Him, and run to where He is. A heart after Your heart.

Dogs

2009-03-07T23:44:00.004+08:00

God created dogs down on earth, to remind us that there is a God up there above earth.

"Who does great things, and unsearchable,Marvelous things without number." - Job 5:9

Market Value

2009-03-06T23:05:00.004+08:00

Jonathan always say this to me: "Ron, you must go and update yourself, so that your market value will go up."

So I went to buy a cooking book today. Knowledge is power!! Haha...Who wants to try my cooking?

Tribes by Seth Godin

2009-03-05T21:49:00.003+08:00

Last week I finally finished up reading Tribes by Seth Godin and I was glad that I purchased this book. Didn't come very cheap for a thin book though, haha. This book touches on leadership and that at all levels, leadership is needed. It comes in hard cover and the interesting thing is that there are no chapters in it. It just goes on and on and on and on and on.

For those looking for a great book to read, this got to be the one. Here are some quotes that are from the book.

"Without leader, there are no followers. You're a leader. We need you."

""Good enough" stopped being good enough a long time ago. So why not be great?"

"The essence of leadership is being aware of your fear (and seeing it in the people you wish to lead). No, it won't go away, but awareness is the key to making progress."

"What people are afraid of isn't failure. It's blame. Criticism."

"If the only side effect of the criticism is that you will feel bad about the criticism, then you have to compare that bad feeling with the benefits you'll get from actually doing something worth doing."

Right Person

2009-03-05T13:56:00.002+08:00

Pastor Kong mentioned something interesting and meaningful at the end of last week's service.

"The moment you say "I do", you have married the right person."

The Boy Who Lost His Fishing Rod

2009-02-25T23:53:00.005+08:00

Last Sunday, our cg went to Minds Cafe to enjoy the mega happy hour package! It was phenomenon! For just $7.50++, you get to enjoy 5 hours of gaming PLUS free-flow of drinks! I sound just like a promoter for them. Hohoho.

As we head down to Minds Cafe via Riverwalk, Yuzhen pointed out something funny to us. Here is the photo:

Noticed anything weird about this photo? The boy is missing his fishing rod! Haha...so cute right?
Some of you might have heard or read of this verse in the bible.

The verse in Psalm 23:4 goes like this: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me."

Here's what BBE (Big Bird Edmund) got to say to me in msn, "Hmmm u steal the fishing rod ar? No wonder the guy in ur display pic so feel so disturbed! cuz his rod that comfort him has lost! lol."

Once again, the quote of the day was brought to you by BBE.

Personality Test

2009-02-15T23:01:00.004+08:00

Was feeling kind of bored one day and so decided to take a personality test over at http://www.mypersonality.info/personality-types/ just for fun and it was pretty good. The test is not those silly kind of questions found in the internet but it was instead kind of professionally done.

For those who are interested, you can go and do the test! For those of you who are curious, I got INFJ, which stands for Introverted Intuition Feeling Judging. The full explaination is too long to blog so here's the link for what it really is! http://www.mypersonality.info/personality-types/infj/

The interesting fact is that about 1% of the population belongs to INFJ and only 0.5% of the male population belongs to INFJ. Hohoho....

Anyway it's a test, so don't take it too overly seriously about it. =)

24th Birthday Celebration

2009-02-01T01:25:00.010+08:00

After much prompting from BBE, Big Bird Edmund, and not the Holy Spirit, I have decided to blog once again! Sorry to disappoint those who have been coming to my blog and always see the Big Bird picture instead. Hoho. As most of you know, my 24th birthday just passed and it was indeed mixed feelings. Simply because I'm nearing mid 20's before I know it. But what to do, tide waits for no one.

On Thursday, I celebrated my birthday with the dearest and bestest VIP!!

On Friday, I went to celebrate birthday with my family over at Dempsey Hill over at a restuarant called "Prime Society". The atmosphere and decorations were fantastic! A definitely good place for those who are particular about this aspect.

After having the main course, we went down to "P.S. Cafe" down the road for cakes and teas. It was delicious! The White Choco Coffee Brownie is a must to have! Absolutely a must to try. Here are the photos! The last photo is a photo of the cake my sister baked for me.

On Saturday, went out with a few people from church and got some forfeit. But I'm definitely not posting the mini forfeit here. Here are the pictures!

This year I have received quite abit of gifts and cards and just want to mention one card in particular. What's so special about this card? It's because of the words inside really encouraged me. None other by those in VIP! Thank you so much! Think you guys should be able to look at the words if zoomed in.

Once again, thank you everyone for making the celebrations possible. Without you guys, it wouldn't have been possible. =)

Random of The Day

2009-01-07T21:01:00.010+08:00

Welcome back to Random of The Day. Everyone of us know what Sesame Street is all about. We always talk about Elmo, Emo, Elmo, Emo, Elmo and even more Emo. But how many of us really know the character called Big Bird?

Some people call him Big. Some people call him Bird. Some even call him a yellow feather duster. But actually, he is called.....Big Bird. Yes, he might smell bad and at times he speaks funny, but he can be a fantastic meal for all those chicken lovers (whatever he is). Colonel Sanders can testify to that.

Big Bird is a full-body Muppet, featured on the children's television show Sesame Street, which airs on PBS. He is sometimes referred to as "Bird" by his friends.

Officially performed by Carroll Spinney since 1969, he is an eight-foot two-inch tall bright yellow bird. He can roller skate, ice skate, dance, sing, write poetry, draw and even ride a unicycle. But despite this wide array of talents, he is prone to frequent misunderstandings, on one occasion even singing the alphabet as one big long word, pondering what it could ever mean. He lives in a large nest behind the 123 Sesame Street brownstone.

Big Bird has been such a hit since the early days that one person I know personally, was deeply impacted by the Big Bird story. Not just any story, but the Big Bird Story. It was so impactful till the point whereby he started to be fantsinated about it, just like a little boy in front of the television. Such faithfulness and longing to see his idol has won him a place in the Hall of Random of The Day. It is my biggest honor to present to you, the greatest Big Bird fan in the whole universe. Edmund Saw!

Sleep tight tonight, Edmund. =)

Happy Birthday Huiwen!

2009-01-04T23:14:00.005+08:00

Happy Birthday to our dear Ms Shy, Charis Low Huiwen!! Haha. After this dinner, the word "Shy" has a whole new meaning. And all the men go: 1, 2, 3, YES!!

Anyway we had a great time together with a dinner at glasshouse Fish & Co and over there, we had a great surprise for her! We got the staff to do the birthday rap and made her stand on the chair. Hohoho, isn't that nice?

After that we proceeded on to Istana Park and that was when Ms Shy became Ms Catwoman or rather, Ms Siao. The whole event was hilarious and outrageous as well. After some discussions, I will only be posting some pictures here while the videos will be put on hold first. But I'm telling you, the videos will shock your entire life. For more pictures, please go to my facebook profile and look under photos.

Once again, Happy Birthday Huiwen! Have a great year ahead of you! =)

Dinner with Lucy and Wendy!

2009-01-02T23:59:00.004+08:00

Just came back after meeting someone whom I have not met in a long while. She is Lucy! Together with Wendy, we went to Manhatten Fish Market over at Clark Quay and then started walking from Clark Quay to City Hall to Raffles Place. Oh well, I guess I should just let the pictures do the talking.

Random of The Day

2009-01-02T23:59:00.003+08:00

I have been thinking to myself, what is my favourite food. Pasta? Sushi? Sirloin steak? The answer is....none of the above!! In the end, my favourite food is:

Yeah you got me right. A plate of rice with just luncheon meat and sunshine egg. Prefect. I can eat this almost everyday. Does this look familiar to you? Of course it does! It's something similar found in Hongkong cafes, either in Singapore or Hongkong itself.

Surprised? Hope to see you soon in the next edition of "Random of The Day".

Welcome 2009!

2009-01-01T21:45:00.004+08:00

To usher in 2009, I have decided to change my blogskin! A new year, a new blog skin. Indeed 2008 has been eventful, but I believe 2009 will be a year full of breakthroughs and rewards.

Many of you might been thinking how come it has been a long time since I updated my blog. While the answer is: I have been busy with my own things. Haha. There were so many many events going on at the end of the year that I lost track of time.

Here are somethings I want to thank God for in 2008.

1) The courage to attend School of Theology.
2) The privillege to experience the financial blessings of God over my life, especially during SOT and mission trips.
3) Getting to know the wonderful W362 and W469 starting from Yuzhen, all the way to Xiong Ge, all the way to Simon. You guys know who you are, don't have to name everyone here. Haha.
4) Placing people in my life to encourage me whenever I feel down. =)
5) A new computer that is at flying speed even till now.

And so on and so fore!! I could go on and on and on but I will sound like how Benjamin always call me, "Ah Pek".

I'm getting so excited over the prospect of enjoying 2009!! And I have set some goals to achieve this year but till I am more sure about the goals, I shall keep them away from you all for the time being.

Indeed, God is good all the time. All the time, God is good. For those who have not set their goals. Here is a goal for you:

Don't miss it this time round!! Your life will be changed forever.

Coming Soon

The God I Know

2008-11-18T00:41:00.007+08:00

Here's the new worship song by KC Gan. http://www.myspace.com/kcgan

When the stage is bare tonight

There's no one else

Just You and me

When the curtains close behind

There's no pretense

I'm on my knees

I will lay down my all

For there's no greater cause

Than You my Lord

It's all because of You

The God I know

Glorious and holy

The God I know

Is faithful and true

The God I know

A tower of refuge

Hearts are healed

Christ revealed

The God I know

Light of this city

The God I know

Strengthens the weak

The God I know

Is strong and mighty

As He is, so are we

Holy Holy

Is our God

The church He knows

Glorious and holy

The church He knows

Is faithful and true

The church He knows

A tower of refuge

Hearts are healed

Christ revealed

The church He knows

Light of this city

The church He knows

Strengthens the weak

The church He knows

Is strong and mighty

As He is, so are we

This song is awesome. I like the part where it says the God I know. Indeed God is glorious and holy. Indeed He is faithful and true. He is a tower of refuge.

But the question is, do you experience it youself? Do you know He is glorious and holy? Do you know He is faithful and true? Do you know He is a tower of refuge? Maybe it's time for you to find out youself. =)

The Stand

2008-11-11T16:45:00.003+08:00

You stood before creation
Eternity within Your hand
You spoke the earth into motion
My soul now to stand

You stood before my failure
Carried the Cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
My soul now to stand

So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

So I'll walk upon salvation
Your Spirit alive in me
This life to declare Your promise
My soul now to stand

So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

So I’ll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all

So I’ll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours

Morning Prayer Meeting At Church of Singapore

2008-11-03T08:42:00.003+08:00

Just came from from morning prayer meeting at Church of Singapore (Harvest), over at Kreta Ayer Road. It was fantastic!! I felt so recharged after that and was ready to conquer the world....I mean to enjoy the rest of the day. Awesome awesome awesome! When the senior pastor of Church of Singapore (Harvest), Pastor George Ong, prayed for us as a closing prayer, I felt it was a word in season. Fantastic!! Hohoho.....

Just want to thank my SOT team member, Shu Jenn for everything she has done in my life during SOT. She really has been an encourager in my life and very caring. Sometimes I even look up to her as a motherly figure.

Thank you so much for everything, especially taking your time to talk to me during the graduation dinner. I'm pretty sure that I will never forget for the rest of my life about what you spoke to me. Thank you very very much. Hope to visit you real soon in Taiwan, together with Joy and Hsin Yi!!

Pondering

2008-09-19T00:53:00.004+08:00

Hey everyone! Sorry for not posting so long. Actually I have a post in the draft but I'm still uploading all the photos for the post. Just wanna say something short over here.

I was over for my friend's grandmother wake and then we started to talk about how his grandmother and grandfather were like, how both of them have different character. Then my friend mentioned that his grandfather in his latter days, starting to change and became different due to old age.

Suddenly this thought came to my mind. When my partner and I grow old and she changed due to senile dementia or any other mental illness, will I still love her just the same? When I change, will she still love the way she used to?

Hmm.....maybe I'm thinking too much, but I really admire and appreciate couples who can stay so loving for so long of their life. Nothing pleases me more, than seeing an old couple, grandfather and grandmother, holding hands and walking down the road together.

Being accountable for the things I do...

Just Some Thoughts

2008-07-22T17:12:00.001+08:00

On Sunday, 20/07/08 , was Chai Ying's baptism!! Yeah!! So happy for her, because this means a new birth for her. A new beginning, a new breakthrough. Afterwards, went to Ikea for fellowship together with her and Wendy. It was very nice of them to go to Ikea because I was not feeling very well, so they gave in to my request...muawahaha =X

The place really changed alot and actually it was really in a mess. It's like Ikea is not like Ikea!! As we head for the resturant, the mess was simply unbearable, yet there were still alot of people shopping....geesh.... Anyway we managed to find our path and settled down at a circular table with inside as a playground. Very hard to explain but hopefully you all understand it one way or the another.

As we were eating, I saw alot of children playing in there and one particular kid caught my attention. I think he's from South Africa, at least that's what I feel...haha. As he was playing, other children started to verbally abuse and the sight was terrible. Even the mother of the abuser got involved. Simply simply simply disgusting. So what if he's different from the rest? Does that mean that he should be deprived of things which others can enjoy? It was really a sad sight to watch.

Somehow I feel that along my ministry, I will be in close contact with children who belong to the majority race in that particular society. To be specific, people who are of darker skin color and aging to the age of 6. There is just something in me that want to know them even more. Hmm....who knows what will happen in the future...haha...I might be right, I might be wrong...

Dedication

2008-07-16T21:20:00.003+08:00

God, I dedicate W469 into Your hands. Be the Lord over the cell group. I'm at my wit's end. I need a touch from You. Help me to bring forth my inner man and enlarge it. Jesus, come and intercess for us. Holy Spirit, come and do a work in our life. A fresh touch from heaven is all that we need.

Teach us to enter into Your presence, seeking the face of Yours. God, a new anointing to flow. A new revival to come. Lord, expand our capacity. Expand our faith in You. Expand our love for You.

Father, we depend on You today. Give us a heart like David. Give us a heart like Joshua. Give us a heart like Jesus. Father, we cry out to You today. Do a work in W469. Do a mighty work in us. Bring forth the true potential in W469.

"I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase."

Cry

2008-07-16T20:35:00.002+08:00

Recently I have been thinking quite abit on family, especially having one of my own. Was watching a Hongkong drama for a while and started to reflect upon myself.

I know there are many flaws in my life, many flaws indeed. Lord, please change my life. I don't want to make a mistake, causing me to stray away from You. Change my life now, so that I won't sin in the future. Crying out to You.

"With my whole heart I have sought You;
Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!"

"I delight to do Your will, O my God,
And Your law is within my heart.”

Back from Sibu!

Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.

Thank You Qiu Ping!!

2008-06-14T10:51:00.003+08:00

Thank Qiu Ping for everything! You have truly been a blessing to me ever since I met you. You have been constantly encouraging me and pushing me even more and more. I really believe that you're the answer to one of my prayers I have been praying about, providing guidance for me.

And also I won't have been able to attend the wonderful meeting with Pastor had you not been there to encourage me to ask him. Thankful so much! Even people are saying we're looking like brother and sister. Lol....hopefully my sister won't see this =X

Hopefully you will also get to see this post haha. Somehow no amount of "Thank You" can represent my gratitude to you. Jia you for your SOT!! Fighting the good fight! Finishing the race!

Just A Thought

I think it was on Thursday when I was working at Marina Square. And as I was approaching the time I'm supposed to be knocked off, a couple from overseas came in. Their dressing is very casual, very relaxed. So I was like thinking, when will it be my turn to go overseas and be relaxed and go shopping with no money constraint...hmm.....

Secret Place

2008-06-02T23:16:00.002+08:00

I just got to share this with everyone before I go and mug for my exams. Yup, my exams are starting tomorrow and the day after!! So fun....lol. Got to pray for me hor! =)

Pastor Kong always mention that it is during your quiet time, it is when you will experience God in the strongest manner ever. To be honest, I struggled in this area for a few years. Because I always experience God stronger in cell group meeting and services. Don't get me wrong, I still experience in His splendor during these meetings, especially in SOT, where the move of God is really very strong.

But recently I have been praying to God to show me that the secret place, will be the most exciting time. And I really broke through the walls this time.

Now whenever I do my quiet time, I can sense God's presence so strongly in the place. When I come into my room, my heart will just break, broken into many pieces. The comfort and love of God is so strong, even stronger than in SOT.

It is in my own secret place, quiet time, where I can really feel God so close to me. My Abba Father, my Friend..............so close to me.

Thank You for the breakthrough and being with me, even as I blog about this. =)

Directions

2008-06-02T22:35:00.003+08:00

Lord, I need directions. Men might plan our ways, but God, You guide our path. Lead me, guide me, walk with me. Never depart from me, never forsaking me.

Let Your lamp be upon my feet, Your light be upon my path.

Prayer

2008-06-01T00:30:00.002+08:00

Yesterday after prayer focus, someone said that my prayer was good. But I wanted to say that all I did was to talk to my Father. A privilege indeed.

Bottom-line, when was the last time you talk to God?

Keep

2008-05-31T23:36:00.001+08:00

Lord, pray that you will come and lead me. I don't want to repeat the same mistake again. Come and teach me Your ways, constantly filled with the wisdom of Yours.

Heart After You

2008-05-29T23:46:00.003+08:00

God, create in me once again a heart that is after Your heart.

With You I have everything.
Without You I have nothing.

Lagging

2008-05-28T08:26:00.003+08:00

Which One Will You Prefer?

2008-05-26T22:37:00.003+08:00

Pastor Ming asked the SOT students an interesting question few weeks back. When you go on a holiday, do you prefer having a map with you and depend on the map or will you prefer a guide next to you.

I thought over it for awhile and I chose map. Why?

Simply because I like the excitement of using the map. Maps can be very outdated and undependable. But the interesting thing is sometimes it can lead you to places you least expect to go to. It gives me more thrill to wander around and bump into something interesting and be amazed by it. Maybe it's just me but I prefer surprises during holidays. Started to think about other things as well but.....hmmmm haha...let's move on.....

What's your choice?

Choices

2008-05-26T22:36:00.002+08:00

A or B? Stay focused! Holy Spirit, come and guide me.

Talking

2008-05-14T00:50:00.002+08:00

I just got to blog about this. I was worshipping God and began singing and praying at the same time. And then this thought came into my mind. "God, let's talk. It has been a long while since we talked." And this is really true. After saying this, I realized that I haven't been talking to God alot recently, even though I'm in bible school. Yes I have been praying, yes I have been soaking in His presence daily. And yet I missed out on the greatest thing next to salvation, talking to God.

Immediately I felt God's glory in the place. It was so strong and so heavy. The true and raw glory of God was so evidence, that at one point in time, I fear for my life. But then I just said, "God, let me seek Your face." And then I kneeled down at my bedside and prayed, "God, here I am kneeling down and talking to You. Just like 4 years ago." I started to thank God for His grace, salvation and provision. Later on, I went to ask God a question, something that kind of like bothered me.

Normally when I talk to God, I will feel heat in my belly or peace of God if it's right. If not, I will feel very uneasy. This time, it was so so so different. Once I finished my sentence, I did feel heat, but I ended up having holy laughter in my own room! Cool right? The presence of God was so strong, until it gave me full assurance and the answer to my question.

Indeed, how awesome is the gateway to heaven! Not babbling words, but talking to God.

When was the last time you talked to God?

Mothers' Day

2008-05-13T15:11:00.002+08:00

Haven't been blogging so now abit rusty. Don't know how to start off...haha.

All right!! Let's start by talking after the Mothers' Day Celebration!! Happy Belated Mothers' Day to you all out there! The service was awesome! Had to constantly call the dam repairers to come over because it almost broke forth so many times. Very very touching.

Then a very weird thought came into my mind, when will I start my own family. LOL!!!! Must be the season of family. Conincidentally, Pastor Ming asked us to list down 3 things we are thankful to God during SOT. Surprising I put down family. Dont' get me here, over here the family refers to my immediate family, nothing else. Hmm.....how huh? Haha.....

Missed!

2008-05-04T13:51:00.004+08:00

Today I planned to wake up at 5am, hoping to surprise my cgl, as she's flying off to China for a week. In the end, I woke up at 6am!! Arghh!! Worse thing still, the group of us missed her!! She went into the departure hall already. =( But anyway, later on Vernon, Kim, Wei Ren and I fellowshipped at Changi Kopitiam! Nice name right? haha. It was really a great time of sharing and inspiration. =) Next time must do a better job at surprising people. ^_^

Touch from God

2008-05-04T11:44:00.011+08:00

Thank you everyone for your support! I know I have been busy and you guys constantly visit my blog and chat. Really appreciate it. =)

Many things go through my mind during Saturday Service over at Jurong West. Just want to share it with you guys. Hope that it will bless you.

We had communion this week and I could feel the strong presence of God as we partake in it. As some of you know, I'm going through a period of stretching and expanding. There are times whereby I have no time for myself and have to do things out of my comfort zone as I take up more responsibilities. Once I finished the communion, I could feel a hug from the Holy Spirit and He said, "I know what you're going through. I know you can do it." Immediately tears starting to flow down, but it got to reverse back due to the people around.

God, I know I can do it, with You by my side.

The next thing that really impacted me was during the ministering for the leaders. I don't know if I could go up and I just stood at where I was sitting and said, "God, whatever anointing you are giving to the them, I want it as well." And almost immediately, ideas, visions and goals for my new cell group started to flow into my mind. Fresh ideas and power was so strong, that I broke down at the place I was standing.

So those in W469 better buckle your seat belt fast, and run the race of faith, together!

The last thing will be the Mothers' Day trailer. Yes, I was thinking about my mother and all. But I was also thinking about my life hoho. When will I really settle down and start a family. After trailer, inspired to have a family of my own.

God, the promise You gave me 4 years ago, I'm still holding on, clinging onto Your word.

Anyway I was looking through few people's blog (Wendy, Wah Ju, Huimei and many others, can't remember who's liao) and saw the quiz on the five love languages. So I went to take and see what's the result since my whole being has really been changed from SOT. Surprisingly, the results differed since the last time I took it. So here's my latest result:........

The Five Love Languages

My primary love languages are probably
Acts of Service and Quality Time.

Complete set of results

Acts of Service:		8
Quality Time:		8
Physical Touch:		7
Words of Affirmation:		5
Receiving Gifts:		2

Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Take the quiz

My dog =) Say hello to him!

Target by end of SOT

2008-04-27T11:52:00.002+08:00

My new target by the end of SOT, is that when people look at me, they will see a 3m tall, 2m wide spirit man within me.

A wonderful walk, with the Holy Spirit.

Expansion

2008-04-27T11:49:00.004+08:00

God,

Expand my terrority.
Expand my capacity.
Expand the inner me.
Expand the spirit man of me.

A touch from You, and my life will never be the same.

Changes

2008-04-19T00:55:00.003+08:00

Changes. Changes are something humans do not like. Something humans despise. We all just want things to remain the same. We are resistant to changes.

SOT has started and many changes has occurred in my life. Such as sleeping early, waking up early or managing my time. But these changes are great!

My time in SOT has been so blessed so far. In just 2 weeks, my life has been challenged and changed for the better. Truly SOT can change one's life, for the better.

Thank You for the privilege to be in SOT. Thank You Lord. =)

Experiences

2008-04-12T13:42:00.002+08:00

SOT has started for about 6 days already. Many many things happened...haha And I still can't believe I'm in SOT. So many things went through my mind over the past few days. Can't wait for another touch from God...

SOT Is Starting!

2008-04-07T00:42:00.003+08:00

Woah! SOT is starting in about 8 hours time and I can't sleep! Really really can't sleep...what should I do..hmmm. Feeling so excited for this moment, been waiting to enter into SOT for 2 over years already due to army. I really believe a breakthrough is just waiting for me round the corner. Revival!

Heartbroken

2008-04-04T22:49:00.004+08:00

Just finished cell group meeting and it was fantastic with a great presence of God. Had a wonderful dessert party, done up by Alicia, Ee Rong and Zech! Really thankful for their effort, they went about going all these things after work and yet didn't complain at all. =)

After that I went home and saw snippets of a show on channel 8. It's talking about an old lady, with a child with mental disorder. The child is about 30+ and her husband just passed away. She mentioned her biggest concern is her son, after her husband has passed away. It really broke my heart, because not only the mum cannot retire comfortably, yet she got to support her son. The love and concern for her son was so great, that you could even feel it as you watch it.

Yes, this world is a broken down world. People are dying, people are suffering. And people are born with natural defects. People who are born without limbs, without eyes and mental disorder. But God allowed all these because it reminds the rest of us, that we must never stop loving people. We must be contented with who we are and how God has made us, saying we are blessed.

We must never stop loving people.
We must never stop sharing the gospel.
We must never give up.
We must never lose sight of our purpose and destiny.
We must never despise ourselves and be depressed.
We must never be proud for what we have achieved.
We must never lose our first love for the One who loved us first.

Thank You for cross.
Thank You for the blessings.
Thank You for Your love.

Leadership and Strong Spiritual Life

2008-04-03T12:12:00.005+08:00

Many people fail to grasp this concept. Leadership and strong spiritual life comes hand in hand. You can't have leadership and yet have no strong spiritual life. Likewise, you can't have strong spiritual life without leadership. They come hand in hand, like in a marriage, a communion.

1) Leadership without Strong Spiritual Life

Many people nowadays desire greater position, greater influence and greater p0wer. Be it in their companies, their studies or in church, people are hungering for many power. They long for the recognition and fame that comes along with it. All I can say is, these people will not stay there in high places for long.

Let's take things closer to our hearts, being a cell group leader. Very often you might have heard these phrases like, "I want to be a cell group leader." or "I want to be a usher I/C". Yes, it is very good to desire these positions as stated in the bible, but one must be connected to God in the very first place. In the ten commandments, God listed that you shall have no other gods besides Him. In the new convenant, Jesus stated once again that you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.

After all, in order for God to use you, you need to get closer to God! Only through this, will your life be changed and so that He can use you. My goodness!! How can people nowadays fail to grasp this concept? Is it so hard to understand this point? As you get closer to Him, He will will draw near to you. As this happens, you will begin the surrender all that you have and learn humility from Him, the greatest Servant of all.

2) Strong Spiritual Life without Leadership

It is totally rubbish when I hear people talk about having a great spiritual walk with God when they do not desire to rise up and be counted for. That is boulogne! The closer you walk with God, the more you will want to lay down your life for His cause. God has called us to do the Great Commission, not the Great Omission. We are called to made disciples of this world. And very often, this will lead us to higher position of authority and power.

As you start to lay down your life, God will start to give you dreams and visions as stated in the bible. Remember that men without vision are dead! Dead as a fish on land.

Then why do still people still say that they have great spiritual life and yet not serve? Reason is simple. They do not desire more of God, they are satisfied with where they are. Let us be like Moses, Joseph, Jacob and David, men after God's heart. People who are not satisfied with what they have. People who desire to seek the face of God.

(I written about how to encounter God in the previous post.)

When this happens, not only will they not encounter God in a stronger manner, but instead they will backslide. They simply do not have FAITH.

FAITH stands for:
Forsaking
All
I
Trust in
Him

Today, will you trust God to change you, mould you, and transform you. Challenges may come. Storms may come. Fears may come. But surrender all of these, in exchange of all of Him.

Conclusion
At this moment, will you make a decision to surrender all that you have, in exchange of all of Him. Will you be like Aaron, and say today I will stand between the living and the dead.

Back to School!

2008-04-02T00:00:00.003+08:00

Today is my first day in school after 3 years! Woohoo....it was so hard to focus on the lesson and absorb all the things being taught. At least I managed to see one of my polytechnic friend in the lecture hall, if not I will be like so lonely. Pray for God's anointing and wisdom to come upon me! So that I can bear a good testimony in my studies, work, family, church, SOT (bible school) and friends.

I will overcome obstacles with God's strength. What people say it can't be done, I will prove them wrong. Because I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! Amen!

Encounter with God

2008-03-28T23:36:00.003+08:00

Encountering God. What does it take to have an encounter with Him? Many things went through my mind as I thought about it. But in the end, it boils down to one thing, desire. Some of you might be thinking, how do I desire for Him more? Here are some points:

1) God is not just God. He is a Living God.

So many christians treat God as some kind of idea, image or blurry picture. These are all wrong thinkings. God is real, living and still performing wonders in our mist. You must treat him as a person. This is how you can have a close relationship with Him.

2) Panting

Like what David said in Ps 42:1, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for You, my God." How thristy are you today? Are you just satisfied to be in His presence or do you seek to see His face? There is a very big difference between the two. As you go for cellgroup meetings, service and even quiet time, is your spirit seeking after God like a madman? Don't be like the Israelists in Moses' time, whereby they were afraid of God's presence. Instead be like Moses, one who seeks after the face of God (Ex 33:18). As you seek His presence, do not enter just the outer courts or inner courts. Enter into the Holiest of Holy, touching the throne of God.

In closing, just want to share you all something that I posted last year.

God, give me a heart like Abraham..........................a heart of faith
God, give me a heart like David................................a heart after Yours
God, give me a heart like Paul...................................a heart full of signs and wonders
God, give me a heart like Peter.................................a heart full of boldness for You
God, give me a heart like Jacob................................a heart that wrestles with You
God, give me a heart like Jabez.................................a heart crying out for more
God, give me a heart like Noah..................................a heart withstanding all critisim
God, give me a heart like John the Baptist................a heart consecrated to Your call
God, give me a heart like Joseph...............................a heart after Your presence

God, give me a heart like Ruth....................................a heart of loyalty
God, give me a heart like Abel....................................a heart of offering
God, give me a heart like Enoch.................................a heart that hungers for You
God, give me a heart like Sarah..................................a heart that believes upon miracles

God, give me a heart like Solomon.............................a heart full of wisdom to rule people
God, give me a heart like Barnabas............................a heart of servanthood
God, give me a heart like Dr. Phil Pringle......................a heart of the supernatural
God, give me a heart like Dr. A.R. Bernard.................a heart of teaching
God, give me a heart like Dr. Yonggi Cho...................a heart of prayerful lifestyle
God, give me a heart like Dr. Ulf Ekman......................a heart of visions
God, give me a heart like Dr. Kong Hee......................a heart dedicated to Your cause
God, give me a heart like Jesus.

Jurong West Building! W362!

2008-03-09T00:23:00.004+08:00

For some who don't know, I have been moved to Jurong West service already. So on Saturday, it was kind of like my 1st service there in a long long while. Simply because I have been based over at Expo for a few years already.

The Jurong West building is really a miracle building. When I was over at Expo, it really took raw faith to get a revelation. But when I was at Jurong West, revelations just came on flowing into my mind and touching my heart. From the moment we started praise till we ended the service with an altar call, the presence of God was so strong. And revelations became free-flowing, challenging the lives of the members. Truly Jurong West, is our miracle building.

Oh yes!! Must talk about my new cg, W362! They're kinda cool, with a very different group dynamics to them. Really want to know you guys more. Miracles are waiting to break forth into W362! Get ready...

VIP

2008-03-09T00:03:00.002+08:00

On Thursday, we managed to get all the VIP-ians to group together!! Finally after so long, all could make it except for Joanna, because she was still in Thailand being a Thai girl. =(

For those who don't know what VIP is about, it's a moblog group consisting of Very Important Piglets. Haha..actually VIP means nothing lah..just a name lol. It was started by Jasper and the aim of it was to provided support and comfort to one another.

So we gathered for a nice meal at Ichiban Boshi and we slowly went to the Esplanade....to eat again! This time at Maka Sutra. After that we slowly walked to Raffles Place to chit chat. When we came to a bridge called Benjamin Sheares Bridge, we decided to hang around there for awhile because the view was awesome! Didn't know this place rocks during the night.

Looking back, I realized something. Once we were all new friends and then members. Now, we are all rising up, being leaders for Christ.

Really miss having everyone around. Hope to have it again soon. =)

Founder's Day

2008-03-03T16:25:00.003+08:00

Well well...2 posts in such a quick succession, must be a miracle at work. Anyway after the meeting with my friend, I went to meet another group of friends!! They are from my secondary school!! Woohoo! And it just so happened that on 1 March, it's our Founder's Day. At first I thought that it will only be a small group, but in the end, about 20+ people turned.

I lost contact with many of them simply because most of them went overseas to further their studies. So it was really really great to meet up with once again. After that we decided to play lan and played till like 4am next day..lol. We came to a conclusion after the whole event, we are getting onto our age as we felt so tired after the lan. Then I woke up at 6am for service wahaha....

9 Years...

2008-03-03T02:40:00.004+08:00

On Saturday, I finally met up with a friend I lost touch for like about 9 years? Lol....I know you might be looking at this entry now so hopefully u will enjoy it since you asked for this to be blogged. haha =X

Anyway I was working that day and met up with her after work. So we decided to meet up at Wheelock place, the building opposite Lido. Then we proceeded on to the area where Forum is at. Actually I seldom go down to that part of orchard road so it was kind of like a new experience for me. The whole concept of the place was nice because shop are connected in a very open air manner.

After thinking between Coffee Bean and Starbucks, we chose to go to the latter one (Starbucks is the best!!). So we spent quite some time there chit-chatting and catching up on old times haha. Didn't imagine that within 9 years, so many things can happen and change. It was really interesting to find out how people are doing over long periods of time.

Surrondings can change with time. But a bond or a friendship cannot be changed so easily with time.

Liking. Loving.

2008-02-27T12:52:00.002+08:00

Liking someone is wanting to being with that person. Loving someone is wanting to give all that you can to that person.

*You all don't think so much hor....got it from a show. =)

Thank you Skin!!

2008-02-01T10:24:00.000+08:00

Just realized that I haven't post about the birthday celebration with Skin!! Wahaha....thank you thank you so much! =) Will be posting the pictures of the gifts soon....I hope....wahaha =)

Eventful Week!!

2008-01-24T23:59:00.000+08:00

It has been truly been an eventful. So eventful until I didn't blog about it. Haha.

Let's start off with 22/1/08, Tuesday. Went out to celebrate birthday with Joanna and Wah Ju. Really thankful to both of them because they really take time out to spend time with me. Really really thankful. Anyway the whole celebration was a total comedy.....really. Like for example, the 3 of us were like talking then all of a sudden, I saw a cake box drop onto the floor! And then they kept feeding me with water so that I will go toilet, but I didn't! Woohoo!! Breakthrough!! Haha. Overall the whole celebration was like so funny...just ask any 3 of us haha. After eating over at Ajisen, we went over to Istana Park and walk walk and talk talk. Below are some of the pictures taken.

Then came 23/1/08, a very nice day, ending with a great bible study session with Bobby. Really learnt alot from him, especially from his experiences. Because it really shows that after all, leaders are still humans. The lesson was on the Shepherd's Life and if you can, attend it! The price you have to pay though is.....you have to stay positive all the time!!

Then on my birthday 24/1/08, I actually spent my whole day doing administrative work for the cell group and later on went for cell group meeting. Like quite boring right? So many people kept telling me that haha....in the end, my cell group celebrated for me and gave a book!! And later on Felicia and a few others gave another gift to me. Thank you so much!!

The suprising thing was the group I'm closest with, called the VIP-ians, suddenly charged into the room with a cake! Really really very touched. Because at 1 point in time I really think that Tuesday will be the 1 and only celebration from them. Thank you so much VIP-ians!! Anyway they got me a really cool bag. Will post the pictures of all the prezzies when I have time. After that we went to S-11 and chill and talk. Somehow, I really miss those moments because after I started working at Skin, I really never spend much time with them.

Thank you so so so so so so so much N302 and VIP-ians for everything!!!

Shouldn't

2008-01-16T22:59:00.000+08:00

Thinking of someone when you shouldn't.
Liking someone when you shouldn't.
Loving someone when you shouldn't
Hating someone when you shouldn't.

Love

2008-01-15T01:00:00.000+08:00

Last time many people have asked me what is love. And all I said was that love is something you can't explain. To certain extend, that is true. But I have been thinking alot about it since my Hongkong trip. To summarise,

Love is an attitude of giving.

When you love someone, there must be an attitude of giving present in the relationship. Reason being it is very stressful if only 1 party keeps on giving and the other party just keeps on receiving. Both parties must embrace an attitude of giving to one another.

Don't be mistaken as I'm not just talking about giving money, gifts or flowers. I'm including things like, time, a listening ear, serving one another by doing things and your emotions. As both parties start to give, you will experience one of the greatest miracle of your life. You will have no idea what God has in stored for you.

2008!

2008-01-09T18:11:00.000+08:00

It has really been a long time since I have really blogged. Been rather busy with work and every other thing but now I have some free time because I'm sick! Not that I'm proud of it or happy about it. But still, got to take a positive look at it.

2008 is here and 2007 is gone! 2007 have been very eventful, especially the last few days of it. Events that really challenge me quite abit. Then came 2008. All I have to say is, what ever possible bad things that could have happened, happened. What a great way to start the year off right? Well done lah haha. Really got to pray over it, because greater is He who is in me than he who is of this world.

Decided to fast on New Year, so that I could get a clear vision and goal from God for 2008. In the end, I have come out with 3 goals to accomplish this year.

1) To get closer to God. To have the desire to go into the Holiest of Holy on a regular basics. To experience God's provision and power in my life in a greater manner than before.

2) To fulfill God's calling and will in my life. To become a cell group leader and not just stopping there, being contented. I want to be a leader that will shake the world for Christ, with signs and wonders.

3) For me to know and for you to find out. =)

So here are the 3 goals this year. My slogan this year: 3 Goals, 3 Achievements. Continue to keep me in prayers and I do for you.

World to Believe in

2008-01-08T21:07:00.000+08:00

Day 0 and Day 1 in Hongkong!

2007-12-14T10:30:00.000+08:00

All right. I guess it's time for me to blog about the trip haha. You guys must be wondering what is Day 0. Well, Day 0 is the day before Day 1! Haha...it's actually the preparation stage at home.

I was to fly off to Hongkong on 6th Dec but the thing was that I worked on the 5th and in the end, I only got to pack my luggage once I finished BS on Wednesday. I rushed back, anyhow crunk in my things and went to sleep. So cool...wahaha. After everything was done, I went to sleep at 1.30am.

After some turnings here, turnings there, I woke up at 5am. Yes you saw that right, 5am. Simply because I got to reach the airport by 6.30am as the flight was at 8.30am. And with that, this concludes my Day 0!

Skipping all my experiences at the airport over at Singapore and Hongkong, just jump straight into my first place of visitation, Disneyland!

For those who do not know, Disneyland in Hongkong, is the smallest Disneyland in the whole world! What a better place I could go to. Anyway, after touching down at airport, I went over to Disneyland Hollywood Hotel.

The funniest thing was that the hotel was not in Disneyland and people had to take a shuttlebus to reach Disneyland. Some smart thinking over there yeah

Here are some photos of the hotel room.

Enough pictures and talking, let's talk about Disneyland! Actually I was quite "sianz" to go there because I feel it kinda kiddy. Can you imagine me hugging a Micky Mouse? Or even hearing Donald Duck talking in Cantonese. That's just plain gross. -_-

The funny thing was that I was proofed so wrong once I reach the place. The place was so beautiful.

I think it's an understatement haha. The weather now over there is cooling and it really brings out the atmosphere. Once arriving, you will have to walk a really really really long straight path in. Though it was long, it feels like you are in another world, in fantasy world if I must say. It feels so mystical, so cool.

The first attraction you will see is a fountain. I was awed when I saw it, it was totally awesome! Imagine all the cartoon characters you grow up watching and they are on a fountain! Not just any, but the fountain was beautifully made, with very good quality.

After going pass the fountain, then you will see the gate to Disneyland. Yup, the things I mentioned beforehand were not in Disneyland itself but outself. Behind the gate, there is a medival building with a steamtrain just below it and further down, it has a garden of Mickey's face on it.

As you walk, you enter into a town centre, something like what you see in the movies or when you play Disney games. (There are Disney games for adults.)
The first building I entered into was a museum of Disney. In that building, it shows the history of Disney, the purpose of having Disneyland, and some really unique scruptures.
After walking down a stretch of shops, my family saw something. Something that will shock you, peritfy you, humble you, humiliate you. Ok, think I'm going overboard with words haha. It's....Cinderalla's carriage and Snow White's castle! You know, the castle they always use before the start of the movie?

Starting to remember something. Yes that right! You got it!

After that, I bumped into a funny looking place to say the less, but I decided to go in.

The funniest thing was that deja-vu happened! Man, it really must be God's plan for my family to go there. For those curious what it is about, it is a theatre that shows 3D effects right in front of your face. In order to view it, you got to wear a pair of glasses they have provided. In the show, you can see Donald Duck flying from far far away and straight into your face! The interesting thing was that not only it was 3D, it also make use of the environment to make you feel like you're in the show.

There was one part whereby it was showing the candlestand from Beauty and the Beast singing, "Be our guest". For those who don't know what it is about, I think you need childhood haha...just joking. While they were singing, the campaign bottles began to pop out in the movie. However to enhance the effect, they will have very strong air flying pass you on both sides, and adding a scene of campaign inside the air. Then there was another part it was about water and they starting to spinkle and splash water on us!

After the whole show, we proceeded for a ride called "Jungle River Cruise". At this ride, basically it just brings you around the river and some fake animals or humans moving around. It was kind of boring, but I kept on laughing. Why? Because of the guide on the boat! I opted for English instead of Chinese and Cantonese version. It was totally hilarious when Hongkongers speak in English wahaha. And he was so lame. In fact, everyone in the boat was laughing because of him. It's a pity that I forgot to take his photo.

At about 6pm, they have a mini event over at the castle as they will fire some fireworks and then light up one castle on a rhytme. The main event was at 8pm, over at the castle again. This time, they combined the fireworks, lightings, and music together. The syncronization of all 3 elements were almost prefect.

And that's it! Once the fireworks is over, the park is offically closed. Now it's time to say goodbye....

When we reached the hotel, we decided to freshened up ownselves and then go down to take a walk and take photos.

And this concludes Day 0 and Day 1. Hope it didn't bore you in any ways!

Hongkong!!

2007-12-05T23:14:00.000+08:00

My last post before I fly off to Hongkong! Muawahaha...cya all next week! Don't miss me! Meanwhile, enjoy this song which I love alot.

One Thing

One thing I desire.
One thing I seek.
To gaze upon Your beauty.
Your majesty.

God of my salvation.
Lifter of my head.
Teach me how to live oh Lord.
In Your righteousness.
So I pray to You.
So I pray to You.

Lord Your Name is higher than the heavens.
Lord Your Name is higher than all created things.
Higher than hope.
Higher than dreams.
The Name of the Lord.

In the day of trouble.
You cover me.
In the secret place of refuge.
Lord I will sing.

I will seek Your face.
Call upon Your Name.
Jesus. All I want is You.
Jesus.

Faithful

2007-12-05T01:18:00.000+08:00

Just want to share something since it has been a long time since I have updated my blog and also I'm gonna leave for Hongkong soon!! But first, let's take a look at a lyrics of a song.

Lord of all the earth.
How You care for me.
You have made me.
You will save and carry me always

You are faithful.
You are faithful.
You are faithful.
Your joy is my strength.

Lord You are my guide.
I rely on You.
I put my hope in things not seen.
Yourr promises all true.

Always You're with me.
Your hand will lead me.
My trust is in Your name.
Always You're with me
Your hand will lead me.
My trust is in Your Name.

This song talks about faithfulness. Anyway for those who have not bought Saviour King by Hillsong, repent now and buy!! Haha just joking. Back to serious note.

In our church, many people always say that FAITH, stands for, Forsaking All I Trust in Him. So very often we talk about how we must, despite our doubts, trust in God.

But many people missed out one key point as well. God is faithful as well! This means God is forsaking all to trust you! Whatever promises or vision you have recieved, God trust you. Essencially, because God trust you to fulfill these promises, He gave them to you. Whether He has called you into full-time ministry, a leader or a marketplace changer, God trust you. Which is why He gave you that vision.

When you start to realize God's love and trust for you, your life will change for the better.

Hope this has blessed you.

Bible Study

2007-11-19T22:19:00.001+08:00

I know this is kinda late but I keep forgetting to blog haha...I just wanna share about my bible study with Poh, the worship leader last Wednesday.

It was quite a rare treat for us to see him do bible study because normally Pastors will be the ones giving. In short, he was totally hilarious! He was able to share with us things that are applicable and not something just in theory. Things he shared includes, mistakes worship leaders make and also behind the scene actions between the worship team and the Pastor in charge of the day.

All these were great, but the most fulfilling thing was that the presence of God was so tangible and strong in the room. I had to keep on staring onto the ceiling because tears were coming down.

In conclusion, worship is not something we act or perform, but the role of us is to bring down the presence of God so tangible, that people can say "God is real".

Christmas Mood!

2007-11-14T00:35:00.000+08:00

Recently my colleague and I kinda got into a christmas mood so I decided to bring some christmas CDs over to play at my workplace. And what happened soon after was that, my branch @ Marina Square started to have christmas decorations! They truly look awesome! Totally shocked at what a few sticks of branches can do to the whole place. Woohoo~!! Pray that this year will be a white white christmas!

One Verse

2007-11-11T01:07:00.000+08:00

Just finished reading the bible and came across a very impacting verse.

Proverbs 12:4
"A wife of noble character is her husband's crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones."

If I were to do a 10 commandments list like Wendy, this will definitely be one of them. And all the guys say, AMEN!

Random Post about My Work Mates.

2007-11-10T01:10:00.000+08:00

After working in Skin for nearly 3 weeks, I have one conclusion. Almost all of us are capable of speaking to ourselves. We are so pro that we can talk and talk and talk to ourselves. Why do I say this? Because I witnessed this 1st hand after stocktake on Thursday morning 3am. Wahaha, the scene was hilarious!

Offering II

2007-11-10T00:41:00.001+08:00

Now that Arise and Build Pledge is over, I'm starting to give offerings once again! So here goes nothing:

Mark 10:13-15

Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them. But when jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it."

Over these few passages, Jesus is saying one thing. Have a child-like faith. Now there is a difference between being childish and having a child-like faith. For even in Proverbs, it tells us to cast away our childish side and put on the mature side.

Having a child-like faith is just like when a father says he will give her a sweet. Of course the child will not doubt the words of her father. Instead she will believe in whatever he says!

Furthermore, the bible wrote little children instead of children. Meaning that reasoning skills has not been set into them. Therefore we can't always tell God, why you never bless me, why you never give me this, give me that. Let's not reason anymore and trust in God. Even there's a song going around and it goes like, "Jesus loves me this I know, for the bible tells me so." To a child, if the bible says so, it is settled, no two ways about it. The bible says it, I believe it, that settles it. Do not limit God, but let God be the limit!

So let's give a offering with a child-like faith!

Half-fried Brain, I mean Half-working Brain

2007-11-06T01:10:00.000+08:00

It's like 1:10am in the morning and I just reached home wahaha...my brain is half asleep and yet I'm still choosing to watch Gintama. Hmm...could hardly even think well. Btw thanks guys for dropping by to see me on Sunday and Monday, really appreciated it. Hmm...really want to write more on the blog but my brain really can't take all the thinking right now haha...till then, cya soon~!! Meanwhile, here's the lyrics for one of my favourite songs.

Stand by everything You said
Stand by the promises we made
Let go of everything I've done
I'll run into Your open arms
And all I know

I love You more than life
I love You more than life

Fall back on everything You've done
Fall back on everlasting arms
When all the world is swept away
You are all the things I need
You're the air I breathe

How can it be
You were the One on the cross
Lifted for all our shame?
How can it be
The scars in Your hands are for me?
You are the King of all

1,2,3 Yes!

2007-11-04T00:42:00.000+08:00

Got so many things to say but don't really wanna dump it all in one go. Firstly is...in 12hrs time, it's gonna be service 2 pledge time~!! Really believe that there is going to be a breakthrough, spiritually, financially and building a great house, a house worthy to be called the house of God. Are you excited?

Secondly, it would be the christian men's network creed. Here it goes~!

I am part of the "Fellowship of the unashamed."

The die has been cast. The decision has been made.

I have stepped over the line.

I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still.

My past is redeemed, my present makes sense,

And my future is secure.

I'm finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning,

Mundane talking, cheap talking and dwarfed goals

I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position,

promotions, plaudits or popularity.

I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized,

praised, regarded or rewarded.

I now live by faith, lean on His presence, love with patience,

Live by prayer and labour with power.

My face is set, gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow,

My way is rough, my companions are few,

my Guide is reliable, and my mission is clear.

I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away,

turned back, deluded or delayed.

I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity,

Negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the poll of popularity

or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won't give up, shut up, let up, slow up until I have stayed up,

Stored up, prayed up, paid up and spoken up for the cause of Christ.

I am a disciple of Jesus.

I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know

and work till He stops me.

And when He comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me.

My banner is clear:

I am part of the Fellowship of the unashamed.

Guys, sorry if I got pissed off with you all, scolded you or rebuked you. Because one of the worst thing a guy could do, is treat a lady wrongly. Anyway the creed is great!! Cheers!!

Like the woman with the issue of blood

2007-11-03T10:19:00.000+08:00

Like the woman with the issue of blood

We press in, we press in

Like the blind man waiting patiently

We press through the crowd

Then suddenly

A touch from heaven

Jesus came and rescue me

Then suddenly

A touch from heaven

Jesus came and set me free

Claymore

2007-10-07T00:36:00.000+08:00

Just want to recommend you all to watch Claymore!! It's an anime but really, give it a try. I used to dislike japanese cartoons because of the drawings. I personally prefer drawings from Walt Disney, Dreamworks and so on.

But one day I was really bored and decided to watch Bleach. I tell you, my life has been changed ever since then. It was awesome! The most interesting part about animes is not the drawings, but the storyline.

Anyway if you are free, go down to crunchyroll.com or veoh.com to catch them!!

Other recommended shows: Bleach, Naruto, Prince of Tennis

Offering

2007-10-02T00:50:00.000+08:00

Hmm thought of putting up the offering messenges I have sharing with Cell Group. Hopefully it will bless you as well. Feel free to use them but let me know before using them? =)

Big and Small

John 21:5-6, 8-12
The background of these verses based on when Jesus was resurrected from the death and appeared to the disciples for the second time. From these few verses, we can know 2 things about God. 1) Nothing is too big for God. 2) Nothing is too small for God to notice.

1) Nothing is too big for God.
When Jesus asked the disciples to cast their nets out, He didn't ask for a small miracle to happen. When the disciples dragged out the net, there were 153 fishes in all! And they were not some ikan bilis, there were real big fishes in which you can sell in the market! When God moves in your life, He does not just give you the necessaries, but He will give you exceedingly abundantly all that you could ask for.

2) Nothing is too small for God to notice.
When Jesus was resurrected from the death, He did not tell the disciples to preach the gospel or be faithful or in other matters. Instead He said, "Come and eat breakfast." (verse 12). Do not think that nothing is too small for God to bother. In fact, every tear you drop, every hurt or even paper cuts, God knows them all. God is not blind. He knows what kind of situation you are in and what you are going through. He is concerned about your everything, including your hunger! The reason is because, God loves you, each and every one of you.

Today, let me encourage you to give an offering that will please God. Do not think that when you give an offer, God's eye will miss this place. Instead He is looking with gladness at this very moment. And nothing is too great for God, because He is faithful and just!

Training

2007-09-19T22:20:00.000+08:00

My Guide

2007-09-16T20:49:00.000+08:00

God is not the Lord of confusion.

God is my Cloud ahead of me.

God is my Light upon my feet.

God is my Shepard, who hears the voice of the sheep.

God is my Grace, in Him I can do all things.

God is my Peace, not of fear.

God is my everything.

God will guide my heart.

God will make a way,

Where there seems to be no way

He works in ways we cannot see

He will make a way for me

He will be my guide

Hold me closely to His side

With love and strength for each new day

He will make a way, He will make a way.

By a roadway in the wilderness, He'll lead me

And rivers in the desert will I see

Heaven and earth will fade

But His Word will still remain

He will do something new today.

God will make a way,

Where there seems to be no way

He works in ways we cannot see

He will make a way for me

He will be my guide

Hold me closely to His side

With love and strength for each new day

He will make a way, He will make a way

Finally!

2007-09-15T23:54:00.000+08:00

Now that everything like genting and so you think you can sing is over, I can finally blog once again! Are you ready for another mind-blogging, mind-terrifying post from me again? If you're not, you better be. Because I'm gonna lame you to death and milk you alive! Matte matte! (Wait!)....that does not sound right! Anyway let's get into the genting trip.

It all started first except several people mistook the time and could not make it for the 1st bus. In the end, the whole group only made it together in JB. Oh well....what to do. In short, the whole trip was about eating and eating and eating.

Oh yes I almost forgot. No matter what you do, please avoid watching Naraka!! For the 1st time, I felt asleep during a movie. Worse still, it was supposed to be a horror movie! So petty please evade this movie at all cost, unless you want to have a good rest and waste money.

I feel kind of lazy so here goes the photos! They are not all but still, photos are photos. Haha, if you want more, pm me.

The present.....

The past...Oh No!! Oops!
