Christmas Week


Monday, December 26, 2005

It has been a very busy week for me. Because its' Christmas!

Nothing much that I could recall on weekdays. But it has been real busy or rather fun during the weekends.

To keep it short and sweet I will just summarize.

Wednesday had Christmas party at Mark's house. Had a great time eating, playing, talking to people (just love meeting new people everywhere I go), watching tv, play guitar & singing. I love the cocktail spirte and shepherd pie. Both of them had unique taste. Yummy.

Saturday had to help out in Christmas production by our church. After finish helping out , I went to Hall 6 and look for Mel. Actually wanted to go town or something like that to slack and celebrate, but everyone was not really available. In the end went back home and celebrate. When the clock strike 12, I received super alot of Christmas greeting sms-es. It flood my inbox. Grrrr......

Sunday wake up 9am and thought that I was late. Bath, comb hair, wear my clothes, spray perfume and ran off. End up reaching EXPO at 11:00am, 30 minutes earlier. Waited for the rest at MRT, alot of my friends brought their friends for the production. Had a great time singing Christmas carols at the beginning then it was the Christmas drama. It was very funny and heart warming. After the everything, we went to have our lunch then go to Hall 6 and play the rides at carnival. Tried the Metrorite, after the ride I feel like puking out. Haaahaa... Shouldn't have eat whopper meal before the ride. Win a pink color monkey at one of the game store. After which, afew of us went out and makan at bugis's wantan mee store. Here are the pictures of people went, click on the picture below.

Today had a family gathering at my house. Everyone was merrying and eating happily at my house. We have on the menu curry chicken, mutton curry, stir fried vegatables, popiah, steam prawn and 12 different kinds of desserts and drinks. It has been a long time since we ever had such gathering, it seems like everyone grow alot. My mum did all she could to make it successful and of course I serve them like a waiter. What a Christmas week!

Haaahaaa... don't why but I feel more excited during Christmas season than my own birthday. Maybe is because the past few years I have been looking forward for Christmas than my birthday. Get to share my joy with people around me, awesome. More than that is my best friend birthday rather than mine.

Well, that all for this week. Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year! =)

The Week Before Christmas


Monday, December 19, 2005

It has been almost 1 week since I have log in. Haahaa... No time to write lar...

Just share and summarize what had been happening for my week.

During Tuesday's ECP, Jack and I took some pictures for the ECP report. Went home early today. Edit and complie the extra pictures into a short comic story. Click on the picture to view larger.


Wednesday and Thursday, I was busying rushing to complete the CS assignment and ECP report. At thursday night, I had my first gift for my birthday. It was an adidas bag. Whoa... expensive. Never carry such an expensive bag before!

Friday was my birthday. Had C Programming from 8 - 11am. Drink too much water last night, end up keep going to toilet. In total I went out 3 times. When the class is dismiss, found that there is a plastic bag in my bag. At first I thought someone play punk on me by putting some rubbish in my bag. To my surprise my class brought me a T-Shirt. Thanks guys. At night went out with my friends to eat steamboat. At the end part, they trick Mel and me to get some chicken wings. When we reach back, they sang birthday song and celebrate mel's belated birthday and mine birthday. Another Thanks to you guys.

Saturday, as usual went to church and did recording for the service. At the end part of it was the candle light service. After the service, I hop on to John's car, rush down to airport and meet the rest of the gang. Waited for Jessie's arrival. Upon arrival from Maccau, Jessie distrbute Wasabe Peanuts. Wah.. it is very choking. Mark and Gary send Jessie back home. While me, JL & GR took bus 27 and the rest took MRT.

Sunday, finally the day which I was waiting for. At first I couldn't wake up, but had to force myself to wake up. At the end of the service, was the candle light service. Where Pastor's light is been lighted up first and then it was passed on to the whole church. Within afew minutes the whole has been lighted up and filled with glory. Holy moment. Feel like been apart from the fallen world and draw near to God.






After the service, went to control room for briefing on SOT graduation service. Took pictures with some of my friends who graduate after the graduation service. Pack up the whole place at EXPO, ride on JM's bike and reach home at 5:30pm. The earlist timing which I reach home on SUNDAY! Feel so weird reaching home so early on Sunday.

Haahaa... Well this is my week. Next week, Christmas. Will update again. Merry Christmas !

Thanks Guys


Monday, December 12, 2005

Hey, just wanna say a big thank you to you guys, especially Jack. That you all told me about that SOMEONE that tag in MY BLOG and say MY CHURCH is a money looting church even it is NOT TRUE in the first place. Although some of you weren't in the same church as me or same religon as me. But you guys helped me to defend, inform and show concern to me about this. Really want to thank you guys. You guys from NYP MF0502 are awesome, You Rock.

As we all know Singapore is a racial hamorny nation. And the recent case about the two bloggers charged under Sedition Act over racist remarks. I just want to warn that SOMEONE to think twice, thrice or even 7 times before making such remarks. Your IP address can be trace easily by the police.

No, I am not threatening you nor am I ashame about the false remark that you write about my church, City Harvest Church, because this church didn't loot my or my friends' money. Everyone gave accord to their will. But just want to tell that SOMEONE to mind his/her remarks.

Well, people who don't think far and thought they are very "smart". Moving on.

Yesterday was the first time I had my church service at EXPO, it was great you guys must come and visit it someday! I went out with my friends after the service and celebrate my bubby's birthday, MELVIN! Hahaa. He finally turn 16 and he is very happy, because now he can go in and play pool without fearing of letting the police to check his I/C. And I got him a pack of ang bao (Red Packet) together with Ren, Jun, Jas & Liang. Haaha. Very uncle style right? Ya I know, and I also know that no one friend will pack ang bao for their friends accept me. And I am also very surprise that my cellgroup celebrated my birthday in advance. Jun got me a creative mp3, which I always wanted but didn't feel that there is a need for me to spend money and buy one. Thanks Jun~!

Just got a sudden feel that SOMEONE don't friends that will stand by he/she in time of needs. Well, you guys know what I mean. Haaahhaaa....

Wow, guess what 14 days towards Christmas. Just can't wait to rock around the Christmas Tree!

The Day of New Beginning

Forgiveness

Logic fails to answer the argument offered by a wounded heart.

The wounded justify bad attitudes with logic.

'They did it first'. 'Everybody does it'. 'They deserve it'.

A rational answer doesn't solve an emotional problem.

Forgiveness is the key to healing.

Forgive people before before they apologise.

Even though it doesn't seem fair. You want revenge. But forgive them. Let it go.

Be bigger than your offenders.

Forgive everybody everything they've ever done against you everyday and healing and health are yours. ___________________________________________________________________

Even I also fall short to the standard I set for myself. Setting the standard for yourself is important; it will do you good and prevent yourself from harming others. Learn how to forgive. Nothing much about today, but I had to constantly remind myself to forgive people around and the standards I set for myself. Doesnt mean that I am a Christian I am without blemish; no one is perfect but Jesus. But I am walking towards perfection everyday, learning every step I take. There is no such thing as a perfect timing in becoming a Christian and become a Christian doesnt make you holy or perfect overnight. Is a daily process and the willingness of your heart that you want to walk towards perfection. No one can touch the willingness inside your heart, not even God, but yourself.

Think I am weird posting such thing? Ask yourself have anyone touch the willingness in your heart? I am talking about real stuff in our life.

Christmas is coming; it is a day of thanksgiving. Go and forgive your offenders and say sorry to those you have hurt. Let us really enjoy the Christmas Spirit.

Stepping out with you.;)

The Sabbath


Sunday is the day which I enjoy myself the most.

Went to church and enjoyed God’s presence in his house. By the way, today is the last day that my church services will be held at Jurong West St 91. Next week it will be held at EXPO. ___________________________________________________________________

Here are some of the pictures of our miracle building at Jurong West, click on the picture to view bigger. All glory to God, enjoy.

For more pictures, click here.

___________________________________________________________________

Today, I went to church riding on Stanley’s new bike (cool bike, want to get one of them after I get hold of my class 2B). At service 6, Dr. Robin Harfouche share her life testimony about how got saved and how Christ changed her life, very touching. In case you don’t know who Dr. Robin Harfouche is, she is a Hollywood star, a TV personality and she is a female (some of you must be wondering, huh? but her name is Robin what). After the service, we had our last meal at the kopitiam opposite our church. I think the kopitiam owner must be very sad that we shift to EXPO. Hahaa, that is his/her problem none of my concern.

Went to Esplande (The Durian) with Gary, Mel, Joy, YM and Ken. Great bunch of guys to be with. We walked down to The Merlion. Me, Gary & Mel were trying to get into the tourist shots, Haaahaa. Had real fun doing that. After which, we walk down from The Merlion to Raffles Place MRT. On the way, we saw a huge group of Japanese young girls & boys. Gray & YM were pretending to be part of them and join in the group. But the moment when Gary says Hai (jap. means yes), YM ran away from Gary. But Gary stay and went on talking to a Japanese guy in front of him, brave. The huge crowd went up to the tour bus, and as friendly Singaporean we just wave to them as we walk passed the bus. They were very friendly, and in response they wave back to us. Saw a few chio bu and yandao Japanese, not bad.


20 days towards Christmas. And of course like any other churches, my church will be celebrating it at EXPO this year. Come and join us and build up the Christmas spirit inside of us. Yeah!

Nothing much I could say today, can’t wait to go EXPO for church services!

Saturday


Saturday, December 03, 2005

Whoa.

Another great day, it seems like everyday is a great day to me. I believe when you proclaim that you have a great day in the beginning of your day, you will have it. Not always but at least it will give you a good start. Have a positive attitude even when everything is falling in your life. Yeah!

Went for bible study in the morning and rush to cell group after that. It has been 1 month since we have cell group and I felt abit weird coming to Yilun’s house. Maybe is because she rush off to another cell group meeting after cell group.

Long story cut short.

Actually wanna go out with Gary, JX, Debra and the rest. But due to indecisiveness, end up going out with Melvin & Joycelyn. Initially, we wanted to have short walk around Bedok, eat at sumo-house (eee.. the food no quality and quaintly, don’t go. Not recommended =p) and go home. Suddenly, the Christmas spirit inside of me just comes out and I suggested going to Orchard for a short walk and enjoy the lightings. Saw a lot of things but I was like noticing people around me. Looking at chio bu and yan dao. I am not gay but just want to see how these yan dao dress up themselves. And how about chio bu? Just see see only lar, they dress so nice of course want people to see and not lust on them.
See a lot of nice lightings and joyful moments, so many that I could not really describe them out with my own words.


Hope that this Christmas I could get a Motorola V3 (Black). So I can take shots around my life instantly and uplaod them. Heehee.

That’s all folks, Rest Well.

Appreciation Night


Hey hey.

I am writing based on what happen on 2nd Dec 05.

Today is such a happy day! So much stuff to share, because they are worth rejoicing. Today’s school ended early, around 1030 hrs. Rush back home took a bath and took a nap. Reach church around 1830 hrs and did the usual stuffs, checking the equipment and cameras. Orh and by the way, I serve as a volunteer in my church handling video camera (Same standard as TV station, wanna come and see?).

It was towards the end that is more exciting.

Today is the last time that we would be serving in this church building on English service like this. Had a mini appreciation night. Before the appreciation thingy, we celebrated Chun Wah and my birthday. I was very surprise didn’t expect them to celebrate it so early. And I helped to arrange the cake backstage, doing all the poking of candles and lighting up. Because I didn’t know that I was part of the celebration, until I saw the third the candle being poke by John and asked whose. Haaaha. Thanks guys for celebrate it in advance. After that was the appreciation night, it was to thank you guys for serving in this ministry so faithfully (BTW is TV Ministry). Given out some outstanding awards with weird titles to the crews and they really deserve it. Well-done guys for sacrifice your time to serve God’s ministry, even through you do not earn a single cent (So do I). But I believe you have earned a greater capacity to do things and your reward is waiting for you in heaven.

Q: Want to ask Why I want to give up so much of my time doing all these things?
A: Because I want to do it for God and I know I will be bless in much when I do all these things. Of course, it is not doing it for fame or whatever. But it still goes back to Jesus.

Overly obsessed about God? You bet.

Went for supper after that, opposite church kopitiam. And wonder if the kopitiam will still have so many busy crowds coming in every morning to eat kaya roti until evening zi char (mass cooked food) on weekends. Especially, when 20,000++ of us move to expo. Hahaa.

Well that all for tonight! Gotta go and bath and pray.

22 days towards Christmas, let us build up the Christmas spirit in us and give thankgiving towards each other.

Rainy Day


Thursday, December 01, 2005

Yesterday, I was talking with Lester and Joseph and end up talking about water baptism.

What is water baptism and why?

I have summarized into this sentence:
Water baptism will cause something to happen SPIRITUALLY to the believer, which means the grace and spiritual blessings of God flows through a believer and is a public declaration of faith for Christian to say I am with Jesus Christ, Amen.

Now You Know.

Today the sky turn black around 1030hrs and rain start to fall. Assuming that there is a maths test today, I went to school feeling anxious and troubled. Troubled because if I fail this round it will affect my marks. In the end, the lecturer only want us to practice and remember the workings and formula (*phew, hahaa. Don’t know if I should thank God for that.). Did the usual stuffs in school.

After school I went to church office at Suntec City but I told my friends that I am going out (paiseh arh, sorry for not making myself clear.). Have a great time listening and studying the word of God conducted by Yilun, and she was sharing that City Harvest Church itself is a registered domination with 19,000++ members. But if you really really really cannot accept the truth, we are also called as Protestant Charismatic.

Please visit www.chc.org.sg for more infomation on City Harvest Church.

Went to Compass Point after that, brought a new advance driving theory book based on Q & A. 2 Bowls of dao huay and a book by Joyce Meyer, called The Secert Power of Speaking God(comma)s Word for Li Fang tomorrow as a appreciation gift. It is a really powerful book, read a few part on it. Especially the part about Civic Responsibility, it revealed Bible verses on praying for your nation, respect your government, paying your tax and many more.

If you are thinking about escaping from paying your income tax, think twice.

Well, gotta go and bath and then pray. God Bless Ye!
