Finally Graduating from NYP and enlist to NS soon...

2008-03-20T12:39:00.000+08:00

Yeap... the headline says it all.. Graduating from NYP and enlist to NS soon....

Nothing much to say about the graduating part, but I know i am going to miss all the people in my class.. Wanna know more about my class? The URL is http://mf0502.blogspot.com/ They are really cool bunch of people. Even though there are abit of misunderstandings along the way, they are still a bunch of cool people. (Friends that never have misunderstandings are never real friends). Yup, so I am very happy to have them.

NS enlistment.....
I haven't get my letter yet but i hope i get it soon, asap. I am opening up my options in where I am posted to. Neither is in commando or army or police or anything, I am ok with it. But my greatest desire is that I can get into OCS, if not police inspector. Because I heard that to be a NS police inspector, you will have alot time to spend for your own. Yeah...

When God give a vision, He will give the provision....

I don't what to type but I'm srue to miss my NYP friends!

There I saw You...

2006-10-04T02:22:00.000+08:00

There I saw you standing, in front of me. I didn't know what to do and how to react. I choose to be still.

When will the wind blow on the bunch of daisy again ?

Very Angry...

Friends Are Friends Forever...

2006-09-23T01:48:00.000+08:00

Do you feel lonely sometimes?

When you walk so far and when turn your head to the left and the right. When you look back, those who say they are supporting seems to be so faraway. At night, when you scroll your handphone contact list. It seems like there is no one to call to.

OR

Are you those, who seems to have alot of friends? But NO true friendship. When they are in need of help, they look for you and you help them. But when it is your turn, guess what?! They cannot be found.

OR

You used to have alot of friends but now you seems to have lesser friends. Don't understand why. But you just know there are alot of empty space to be fill up. Too much space doesn't seems to be too good also.

Well, firstly. Do you sow your time, effort and money to your friend? Or are you those who will always wait for people to serve you first, treat you first, praise you up up in the air first. And still act as if you are high high in the sky. And feel that you are born to deserve these kind of 'loyality' treatment.

Don't fool yourself by saying money is not apart of building a close relationship. THAT IS YOUR DOWNFALL OF BEING SUCESSFUL~!

Do you treat your friends as human or dog? Do you always insult them? Even you know it is wrong, still you will keep on insult and hurt them. And they still treat you as friend. And you treat them as slaves, thinking "Yeah, I got myself a free slave." YOU BEAST.

Do you keep on boasting about yourself and never be a listening ear. Are you someone who is harsh with your words. BIG ISSUE THAT YOU NEVER REALISE TILL NOW?

Do you always want to avoid and igorne problems from your friends and never try to resolve it? NOT EVEN ONCE?

Do you always doing the same and wrong thing again and again. After which you say:"I am sorry, but I am always like that one so don't blame me." Instead of saying:"I will change and be a better person."

Do you treat a new person you met as friends or strangers-to-be friends or strangers-forever.

Do you always choose and picky. Like aunties goes market and buy fish. Always choosing the the freshest one. Then after which bargain with the fishmonger.

Do you share? Or are you simply selfish?

Do you desire fame or friendship?

Do you gossip ALOT? Every hour, every minute and every second. And worse, saying things that doesn't even exist. WANT TO GROW LONG NOSE LIKE PINOKO IS IT~!

Well, Am I speaking into your heart?

All these TIME, EFFORT and MONEY = building trust and relationship.

I pray that you will be successful in life. In find the right group of friends or even just a single good friend.

Cheers

SCARY ARGH~!

2006-09-19T01:08:00.000+08:00

Scary argh~!

Sunday, I dreamt of a very scary dream. I go back to secondary school and study for O levels for some reasons which I am not sure of. A little girl came to me as I step into the school. She lead me to level 4 classroom and pang seh me. I wore track shoes to school, the discipline master saw it and scold me. Thank God no detention for me. Then halfway through the lesson, I felt like going to the toilet. I stood up and went out without asking for permission. The teacher stop me and shouted :"JAMES ZHUANG~! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING~!" I turn my head and I responsed with a 'Huh?'-stunt-surprised look on my face. "YOU GOING TOILET IS IT~! HERE TAKE THE 'GOING-OUT' PASS." I turn and look at her and say :" 'Going-out' pass for what? The toilet just beside only." So I just take and went. Eventually, I didn't only go toilet but also canteen to have a big feast. I went back to the class and suddenly next lesson already. The teacher ask me and afew of the student to stand outside because we are late for her lesson. I look at her with a 'Huh?'-stunt-surprised look on my face again. I turned back and talk to some of the students and asked :"Wassup with all the teachers? PMS is it?". Then out of the sudden my handphone inside my bag rang and my bag was inside the classroom. She took the handphone and answer the called. Then say:" HE DIE ALREADY!". I stare at her and snatch my phone back from her and say on the phone :"Hello? Ya, I know she on her way to hell." Then I woke up. I felt scared to go back to secondary school. Didn't know so many CANNOTS. So troublesome.

Btw, I setup a 'James Channel' at youtube. http://www.youtube.com/user/sgrunway or you can just simply click on the link.

Hahaa... Scary Schools.
Didn't even enjoyed that dream for one moment.

Lost, Lost and LOST !

2006-09-14T12:57:00.000+08:00

Hahaa.... SIAN ARH! Being lost all the TIME ! Esspecially you are on the road. If you are a new driver you will understand what I mean. Always turn at the wrong exit. Sometimes even a 5 mins trip can take you 15 mins. With the recent IMF, the security is rather on the ball in Suntec City and traffic jam is inevitable.

I have found a webpage that shows all the expressways in Singapore!
http://sg.ksdb.com/623419.page

Here you go!

All the best in your trip.

Discipline

2006-09-14T03:08:00.000+08:00

What is Discipline?

Discipline is doing the things that you do not want to do.

Discipline is also choosing not to do something that you want to do.

Discipline is also consistently doing the things that you should do.

Discipline is the making of character; indiscipline, the unmaking of character.

Doing something repeatedly creates a habit; a way of life.

Our habits form our lives, for good or bad.

The world lies at the feet of the disciplined.

What A Great Week

2006-09-11T01:32:00.000+08:00

Haahaaa.... HEY LOGAN~! AT arh.... Since you tag it. I will post it. Recently, he lent this pile of anime called Air Gear. It is about this young man found inspiration in doing in line skating. Something like that la.... Then the skates super steady one... they intergate motor in it so as to make the whole roller blade motorized. Logan, lets make history. Lets try to dream big and one day we might create such a thing. Then save up money, buy a "bukit", big houses and stay as neighbour. Then we can fulfil 1 of the 10 commandments. To love your neighbour as yourself. LOL.

Today when to church, want to took 109 which will send me directly to Pasir Ris and I could take MRT to EXPO. But I took 83 so that I could alight before the bus pass the expressway flyover. And take 27 to Tampines. I missed the stop and I thought that the bus will turn one round then go back to Seng Kang. The bus ended at a faraway place called Punggol. Then I took MRT from SK to PG and took bus 27 to Tampines and MRT to EXPO. Reach there around 9:15am. I could have reach there at 8:30am if I took bus to Pasir Ris MRT and walk along with my usual route.

Today, Pastor really share a good word on Anger. He also gives some practical steps on how to handle anger. Good Right. Very impress with how Pastor Kong delievered his messages. I want to learn fromt him. I want to be able to talk like him.

BBQ @ Kendrick house after PM. It was fun and funny. Haahaa.... Actually surpurisingly I am angry at anything. I am just acting the anger out. =p Sorry for misusing it. But can tell is acting one right!? Haahaa... Really love my CG S28. Because we have been always getting together. Naturaly the merrier we'll be~!

God send us to earth for a purpose~! Don't be too quick or to enger to leave earth. Life have a more meaningful thing than death.... Stay with me....

PRO LIFE

A Best Way To Describe

2006-09-08T02:29:00.000+08:00

Hmmm... On a recently rainy day, I feel like I can change the world. Cause somehow I just feel that it's all gonna be alright? Maybe it is a confidence that I have. I can feel my heart beating fast, I can even taste the tears falling from the sky. Touch by heaven.

Love & Faith
Love = It keeps me hanging on, when all my hopes are gone. I believe that Your love rains down on me.
Faith = It carries me away. Takes me to a place. Far above this world.

And I can see you in the clouds, smiling at me.

It must be You. The one I long for. The one who can clear off my thrist. The one who will pick me up when I fall.

It is You.

Lets abide and see....

Today Today

2006-09-07T00:37:00.000+08:00

Yup Today Today...

Woke up at 12pm with shocker~! Cos' normally I would wake up at 11:15am then watch jamie oliver cooking show at channel 5. He cooks with style and most of the time i would just drool over it. Maybe it was God's plan for me to wake up late cos' I am fasting today.

Contact D-Link techincal support through email to configure my router. Wow, I must say they sure have excellence in service. Cos' they just back to my response within 30 mins - 1 hr. But still IT CANNOT WORK~! Buyer Regert.

Rush down to YMCA for bible study. Learnt about antinomism again, which is my favourite topic. It came from the greek word Anti-Nomos. Anti = Againist, Nomos = Law. ANTI LAW~! It is about Christians who have the wrong convictions and say the 10 commandments is no longer applicable to us. What are the 10 commandments?

1. You shall have no other gods before Lord your God.
2. You shall not make for yourself a carved image.
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. (P.S. It means DON'T make fun of Jesus Christ~!)
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness.
10. You shall not convet (Don't take things that doesn't belong to you.)

Yup that's all. Simple commands right~! And yet these Antinomians just delete it away. Simple things cannot keep how to do great things. Haahahaaa... anyways it is not my problem just pray that they know what they are doing.

After BS when to Carl's Jr. And guess what. Last night i dream of alot of cows walk and run in front of me and someone just kept on serving me steaks and steak burgers and more steaks. Hahahahahahaaa.... MAD DREAM. Have a rather satifying meal at there. I think I am getting old that why when I ate a little I feel full. I think the worms inside my stomach have gone. Haahaa.

Went to the arcade. Played MVC II and some shooting game. As usual watch them driving and drifting cars on acrade game consoles. It sure look fun and exciting but with a cost of high price and a burn in the pocket. Don't ask how I can do away with games. As long it is not free then forget about it. I won't spend long hours to play games which cause my pockets to burn~! NO WAY. But still very fun to look at them driving, drifting and racing their cars~!

Reach home and here I am blogging. Gotta go and bath. Long day tomorrow~!
Jesus Regins

I want to see GROWTH & PROGESSION in my life. EQUALITY, PEACE & JUSTICE in all nations.

A MAJOR MOVEMENT

2006-09-04T15:26:00.000+08:00

Hey, since I am at home the whole day I just blog early~!

A MAJOR MOVEMENT to shift my computer from the living to my bedroom. It is super messy now but I will tie up the cables and the power connection properly after I have finish doing the more important stuffs. Want to show you how my bedroom look like but lazy to uplaod the pictures la.

Go and drink RIBENA alreadi. bye

Today Is A Great Day

2006-09-03T22:56:00.000+08:00

Yeap... Great day!

When for service and attended marriage seminar. Pst Kong really talk and touch the heart of many people in the my cellgroup. Clement, Ron and I were really share about the stuffs like inner vows that we used to have at CHEC after service while the rest just mug the way through. Thank God for releasing us from it today~!

And very sorry that I didn't put consideration and distract the whole group by playing hang man back there. But anyways study hard and shine for GOD.

When to EXPO back again with AL, WL, Joy & Kendrick. Bought a Samsung 19 inch Monitor at $339. Actually I wanted the widescreen version but it was sold out on our second trip in return to there. But I am satify with what I have. The rest bought router and iPod Nano.

Feel that today I am more crappy than usual. Maybe I am too tired or maybe I just want to entertian my friends. But whatever it is I am happy today.

Cheers

Finally Exams Over

2006-09-02T23:02:00.000+08:00

Yes Yes and YES~!.... Exams finish already. Happy? YOU BET~!

But now struggling to fix my router. D-Link DI-524UP with a printer server that doesn't work. Feel so cheated by the sales person.

BTW watching channel 8 now, it is very interesting. Talk about Raffles's vision in building Singapore as a comtemporary arts, culture and science seaport. Salute to Sir Stamford Raffles.

Recently watch HERO "英雄" on Channel 8 and saw the sword very cool.

That's all for today.

Emmanuel

2006-08-22T13:13:00.000+08:00

The song from "Hillsong - Emmanuel" keep on flowing to my mind. Been trying to study very hard nowadays but it seems very hard for the data to flow into my brain. But God is our Emmanuel, our Prince of Peace.

Despite of all the problems and diffcult transition period I will use the strength of God to pull me through this darkness point of my life.

Emmanuel, Jesus Christ.
You never let me go.
My Shepherd King.
You're watching over me.
Emmanuel.

Notice to Award Claimant

2006-08-21T12:01:00.000+08:00

Within a short 10 hours I came and blog again.

Why?
I AM ANGRY.... This company called "EXPO Managemnet Limited" sent me a letter and say i have won a Sony Vaio Laptop and a DVD player. This morning when i call in, the person say only married couple above 28 - 68 years old and credit card owner can recieve this junk. Angry to the max, make me happy for nothing. Haahaaa but never mind I will not greed over YOUR dirty stuffs with your cheater requirement. Scammer mindset company. Never will I cheat on people if I open a business.

Thank God they never ask me to go down without comparing my requirement. If not I will play gangster with them (Hang PIG HEAD. SPRAY PAINT THE COMPANY SIGN BOARD and i don't la... call them up and say I have place a bomb in their office?). Whaever it is, cheating is just not correct.

Anyways, got to go back and study. Ciao =)

Sundays

2006-08-21T01:54:00.000+08:00

Hey, actually didn't wan to blog but you guys wrote so much and i read so much, and it just motivate me. So I just share some random stuffs...

Anyways, what a great week isn't! Chiong-ed for all 3 services to hear the Word of God from Bill Clinton's consultant mouth, DR A.R Bernard. He hold the Word of God so closely in his life, that every word that he speaks i sounds like King Solomon speaking.

Exams coming. Feeling stress about it? OF COURSE LA~! But I believe as I stay faithful in God. Keep on pressing into my studies I will make a BIG DIFFERENCE in my results.

Leave a ministry to join another. Yep, I am sad to leave TV and be actively involved in CG. But everybody got to start somewhere and end somewhere. But surely to me there is greater joy to bring people into the pressence of God. Am I afraid to lead a CG? Am I afraid to confront people when I know they are in wrong? Am I afraid to reachout to people who look unfriendly? Of course I am! But I believe greater is He than of me IN THE WORLD~!

What for to envy people who are spiritual stronger than us and when we look at ourselves and say it is impossible for us to move to that level. In fact, we should DESIRE that one day God will make use of us and bring us to that level we want to be but don't know how. WE CAN BE A LEADER!

Abit scared to preach to the CG =p... Becos of my poor english background. Can I preach in chinese and someone interpet in English? Waahahahaa.... BUT AGAIN I WILL PREACH A GOOD NEWS TO YOU GUYS. PLEASE SPEAK ENGLISH TO ME THEN I CAN IMPROVE MORE. But let us not do a dis-service to our Mandarin also.

S28, look at you guys and ladies grow so strongly and passionately each week. Makes me feel more motivated to move forward with the Lord. Yes, Our walk with God should be personal. But your improvement each week makes me want to do more, serve more, notice more, seek more, expect more, listen more, feel more and encourage more. Other than God and my family I place you all next.

No wonder I call you Saviour. Let pride in myself be gone because of Your Love.
End 2:20am

Going Into Mass Media

2006-05-19T19:25:00.000+08:00

Hey... Just done finish uploading The Cross & I, the short film which I made for Emerge competition. This is a story about a born again believer who face persecution from his family and friends. Caring system was instilled to protect Logan's faith with God. My friends and I did the filming on Labour Day and I planned it looking at very little detail from directing to cameraman to lighting crew to sound man to welfare specialist, it was like a one man show. Everybody feel that it was a great experience acting in the short film. (P.S. especially my Mother... Haahaa...) Want to congratulate Logan in advance that he might just win the best actor of the year award... LOL... Well Done Guys...

Want to thank Melvin Ling, Mark, Gary, Delywn, Yilun, Logan, My Mum, S28, Suci, Paulyn, Sam and those who made it happened for me, THANKS ALOT. With no further a due here it is The Cross & I.

And also not forgetting my NYP classmates! The long awaited short clip among ourselves is up!

Here I Stand

2006-05-18T13:37:00.000+08:00

Last night was great! Get to present my wedding photo video to S & G. They are very please with it but the power point presentation was bad I guess... Anyway got a job offer from Sam, my previous boss. He offer me to work part time in his video production company doing video shooting and editting. I think this will be great but first I need to balance my family, studies and ministry. Hope that it will not affect any of them. Time management!

Feel that I have been slacking too much in my studies. I determine to study at least 1 hour every tuesday, thursday & friday. Although I haven't start yet but at least I got a plan which yet to be act upon.

Rising up in various part of my life. Can't wait to see what's next. Peace =D

Busy to Crazy!

2006-05-17T09:22:00.000+08:00

What a busy week and my handphone battery just died off... so sian...

Just completed Yan Rong's wedding photo video yesterday. Tonight will be the previewing night for the wedding video. Hope that this will make a good impression to them and eventually will let money rolling in. But I couldn't make good powerpoint slides. Don't know why but will try my best to complete it for Yan Rong's wedding. I just submitted my short video "The Cross & I" last sunday. Is about a certian young man who face alot of opposition with family and friends. I will post it to youtube.com once I have finish changing the size of the video.

Now just sitting at the computer lab and slack around. Peace.

I am BACK! For awhile...

2006-05-15T23:01:00.000+08:00

Haahaa... Yeap, I am BACK for awhile. Just want to share afew things about what happened the past few months but I forget all the details so I will just summarize. Haahaaa... I am a great summarizer.

There are alot of up and down in family, relationship, friendship, finance, studies, spiritual life, skills and many other stuffs. But by the grace of God I pulled through. Some may think good about me feeling that I deserve such blessing from God. While others may think that such a jerk like me shouldn't be blessed and anointed by God.

In Holy Bible, there was a king named David. A great king appointed by God and well respected by his countrymen, a psalmist, a warrior, a musician, a singer and the one who killed Goliath. But like every other human being he have many weaknesses too. Commiting adultery & murder are the most talk about in the bible. But does God allow King David to walk away from his sins just like that? Of course not. If you are a parent and your children did something wrong would you just ignore?
(P.S. And if you are ignoring your children's bad behavior and don't correct them. You are actually being selfish and encouraging them to have such evil behavior. My ugre for you parents, CORRECT YOUR CHILDREN EVEN IF IT COST TO MAKE YOU LOSE FACE!)
Back to my story. David did humble himself and repent to God. More than that, he was recongize by God for his constant prayers, worship and offerings. He also began his life as a shepherd boy guarding his father's flock of sheep and then appointed by God as a King of Israel through prophet Samuel.

Well, the story which I want to protrait to you is that I feel I deserve to be blessed (not apply the I MUST feeling inside... hahaaa...). I want to be like King David, always focusing on the kingdom of God and leading God's people. And I know that I will not be shortchanged because God is not a God that will be mocked at. I may start small now but as I keep trusting and put my faith in God, I will never end small. Maybe some of you may think that I am over-obsess about Christ. YES! I AM OVER-OBSESS ABOUT JESUS CHRIST WHO SAVED ME FROM MY SINS AND SORROWS.

HE IS MY SAVIOUR.
HE IS MY SHEPHERD.
HE IS MY STRONGHOLD.
HE IS MY PROVIDER.
HE IS MY PEACE.
HE IS JESUS, HE IS ALL WHO SAY HE IS.

If you feel offended then that's is you problem. And if you feel that you are not being appreciated or deserving to recieve great stuffs then Jesus just might be the answer for your confidence in life.

Peace, all the best.

THE MARK OF THE END

2006-01-02T00:48:00.000+08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It has been a long week for me again, so got to summarize it again. (Short and sweet)

Tuesday went out with my church friends and makan. Actually wanted to settle down the chicken rice stall across Parco Bugis but the place was full. End up reversing back. Suddenly, it rain heavily. RC had give his umbrella to the YT and Elaine. Didn't want to caught wet, I cross the road first with Elaine and wanted to fetch YT next. RC, a guy full of manhood, borrow an umbrella from and uncle and fetch YT across the road. I was quite impressed by his action even though he look like a gangster. Had our meals at Food Junction near Bugis MRT. I bought a bowl of sesame paste (which taste awful) and afew sticks of japanese satay (the pork one taste very nice).

Wednesday went to Uncle Wiki's house and had a short TV appercation nite. Again ate alot of food. It was cater buffet.

Thursday went to Cafe Cartel. Then I forgot what I did.

Friday went to Tiong Bahru Market. Before that Mel and I gather at Jun's house to doing a short video for the CG. 5 mins video short, sweet and powerful. All thanks to Jun's canon camera. Will try to upload it.

Saturday went to Bedok Block 85 and eat. And countdown on the way while walking towards Bedok Interchange. Before that did alot of things too much to write.

Sunday went for service then went home. Papa bought hokkien mee and bbq chicken wings.

Tiring but fun and fruitful week. Feeling very tired now gotta faint.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Christmas Week

2005-12-26T22:53:00.000+08:00

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

2005-12-19T01:24:00.000+08:00

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

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

2005-12-05T21:40:00.000+08:00

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

2005-12-05T01:03:00.000+08:00

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.

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

2005-12-03T23:21:00.000+08:00

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

2005-12-03T01:59:00.001+08:00

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

2005-12-01T21:30:00.000+08:00

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!

Another Day

2005-11-30T17:38:00.000+08:00

Hey Guys.

Just release that I couldnt put open inverted commas. It will appear as €™ or even €and even this â€œ. In order to beautify my blog I will stop using them and minus off the confusion when people read. Haaha.

Last night, I went to bed at 8pm, the earliest timing since 2004. It was the cough syrup that cause me to feel drowsiness, thought I had overdose or something. In the end never do maths homework lor, must do it tonight if not will be mark by the lecturer.

Woke up at 6:50am, prepare to left house at 7:15am. But suddenly got emergency calls so need to report to the toilet. End up leaving house at 7:20am, late for school again. I hate being late for anything, just not my style.

Long story cut short, go to the most exciting part of the day.

Actually, Mr Henry Foo is not a bad lecturer but he give solutions to the questions he never give it with reasoning and it is always not the complete answer. Overall a lecturer who deserves 7.5/10 stars.
Ohya, and I still cant accept the fact that Revathi poontang ECP! Thanks to the good influence of Haslin. Hahaaa.

On the jounery of going back, feel that my hair is too thick so went to the barber shop and slice my hair thin. Reached home and my mummy ask me to eat my favorite dao huay. It is smooth and thin no rough cuts unlike the 50 cents dao huay at school (of course lar, 50 cents only ley what you expect.). Next time I will write about the expectation of a good bowl of dao huay. Thanks to mummy who always take care of all my needs, Love ya.

This time really must do maths homework and study for maths test. Sayonara!
