celebrated florence's birthday at Jack's Place. This's the only picture i took with her...was too excited and busy taking her pictures that i didn't thought of snapping myself...HEH. Posted by Hello

re-capped

what a packed weekend it was.
what a packed schedule since i recovered from sickness.

just got roped in to coordinate for a joint-organised event: National Day Carnival on the 6th Aug.
Gotta mobilise the entire church to help manz.
i also supposed get pple to tend games and food stalls.
it's about 200 pple - external and the 2 churches.

I heard what uncle henry spoke about '...leadership..' - oh man, enough of saying that i'm an officer. dunno how many time u all gotta say that... i tell some non-officers are better leaders.
well, that's not the pt, now that i'm roped in to do that, i'll take it as an opportunity to learn from the older pple. ... '...grooming...'..well well...it's nice to noe that i'm given such recognition..
can be quite daunting...
and all this after my youth and young adult camp.

tmr, i'm going for NVAC camp.
excited. stuff not packed yet.
pretty excited to meet new frens

have u all heard of corrinne may. she's a good singer...
share with u all lyrics of a song that i quite like:

FREE
I see the morning glory
It winds upon the tree
It tells the untold story of how things were meant to be
You saw the universe
Caught up in desperate dreams
You came and changed the ending
Changed it to save my fate
You led the revolution
You left your legacy
Embraced the struggle in the face of mortality
I know I'm not alone in this
Help me believe

I can be free
I can be free from this place
Beautiful healer
Beautiful grace
Help me to see
Everything fall into place
Wake me from dreaming
No more deceiving
Break these chains

It's still the same old story
This great divide
Between the want and waste
And all the hunger inside
I heard the news today
Now I'm trying to find my place
I'm just a single voice
What can I do to erase

All this misunderstanding
All this anarchy
Six degrees of separation
Sometimes it's so hard to see
That we are not alone in thisI need to believe

I can be free
I can be free from this place
Beautiful healer
Beautiful grace
Help me to see
Everything fall into place
Wake me from dreaming
No more deceiving
Break these chains

...and there is also 'Safe in a Crazy World' which is also very meaningful

Attended a wedding reception of my fren. Love your wife and cherish her.
dun break her hug.
both of them are in their early 20s..
my fren's rich also..
also a time when i got to see my tekong frens. raven perm staff..
i quite enjoyed times lidat. brief. short updates.
iz the boys' thing.

oh ya, dad allowed me to drive to teach tuition !! thanks!
gtg...
good night

God bless

today

2 days at youth obsession.
i enjoyed myself. witnessed the work of the Holy Spirit.
a few got saved today! Praise the Lord!
Got to know brothers and sisters from else where and from WA, Perth.

These days, i've come into contact with articles/issues/ topics/ discussions about
relationship/courtship/datig/sex.
yes sex.
abstinence from sex b4 marriage pple
safe sex is no sex

sex is sacred and holy and sadly it has been degraded over the times.
directors who filmed movies with many sex scene, undermine the power of such union, disregard the virtue of purity...dun they? and a handful of them have many marriages, break ups, ain't no expect in lasting relationship.
and with james bond and austin powers, they 'save' the day but ruin the minds of the 'saved'.
Media has distorted the mind of the viewers

yep..
anyw, some of the convenantors hung out with the aussie who are here. really good youths for Christ.
One, by the name of Joel, just turned 18 and he has decided to go to bible college.
yer, and pls dun say spore got NS so we cannot... if u wanna, go bible college after u ORD.
Ben, he's 28 and he's a youth pastor who is also involved in a DJ business.
anyway, I trust that God will use them mightily in His days.

God i want to thank you for bringing my sister to You. U heard my sister's cry, like a mehh-ing of a lost sheep looking for the shephard who is willing to leave his flock and come looking for her.
Yes, my SISTER IS SAVED.
the joy i have inside, i can't contain it.
HAlleLujAH!
As long as there is someone in the household and is a believer of the Living God, the rest will be saved. It's only when.
Be faithful. God is faithful and His faithfulness to us never fail us. He'll grant us the desires of our hearts when the time is perfect!
1998: me
1999-2000: parents
2005: sis.

will try to upload pictures of my aussie friends if possible.

God bless.
Honour Him in all things we do.

counting my blessing

father's day was almost made awful when i thought i lost my bunch of house keys for the second time within 2 months.
got worried, super worried and could predict what my parents would respond.
but with His mercy, the key was left found at home.
learnt an invaluable lesson.

got this indian man..b4 i cont, can anyone tell me why there are people drinking beer in the mid day when it is so warm and humid.
apparently this irresponsible indian has an even irresponsible indian fren who left the former when he got drunk.
Was having lunch near church. an indian man got drunk after fell off his chair and was then carried to the staircase between the shophouse.
this smart alec, think he was trying to walked up the stairs, came tumbling down.
BLED, UNCONSCIOUS, ALIVE.
some of us carried him to the corridor and attended to him..i've got 2 frens who are medics in NS so checked his pulse and if he had suffered any more injuries b4 the beee-bor bee-bor came.

it is very sad to hear people passed away, it'll be worst when those around your age do.
Just attended a funeral of a fellow officer friend. He passed on, age 22, leukaemia. No matter how short a time u spend/spent with someone, he/she has already written a word or two in your life-page.
a few yrs back, a young fren of mine passed on cos of brain tumour. I regretted not visiting him at the hospital.
News of older ppl passing on are increasing...mishaps/un-natural/and what have u ways of dying..have gotten to me.
Deep down, i know i dun wanna regret not meeting my maternal grandmother when she is still breathing on earth. She is in penang.
I'm thinking of visiting her, alone if i have to, b4 i start school. It'll be another 3/4 yrs of mugging/fun...
I know i will be extremely remorseful only if the next time i were to see her is when she has left.

playing floorball...floorball...the adrenalin rush and perspiration....
how many practices are there in a week? I'm interested to play at tertiary level.
Gosh, then i'll have church committment, family, gf, studies...hmm.
Well well..take things in my stride. then i'll enjoy.

Do come down to youth obsession at clemenceau ave (beside glass house) from 7.30om onwards..there's a worship rally and admission is free.. u can see me there as usher!
and there's EP youth rally at AMK presby ont he 2nd july..
i'll be going for a camp from the 28th june to the 1 july..
i'll be bidding for my modules on the 28th of july...

so now, victor u are the only fellow who is not back yet

God bless

my mood is the same like the weather

how gloomy thy is today.
i ain't referring to the weather though it is comparable.
i feel a lil low, a lil burdened tday; i'm wondering whether i'm missing out on anything.
Is there anything i am missing out?

I am still recuperating. fever has left me for good (i hope), but the sianess is looms BIG TIME.

What does worship mean to u. Yep, we know that it is a lifestyle. I'm referring to the musical sense. What does a worship leader do?
Well, he doesn't need to sell himself, worship lead is not to self gratificate oneself.
and he has to know at least a hundred songs in his brain.
pick up an instrument so that u need to depend too much on the others. DEpend on God, ask Him to help u encounter Him.

I dunno any instrument which i can make music. I can make sound with them. Yep, keyboards and pianos are merely instruments i can play sound with. Not music.
I'm half-hearted with guitars...i suck at it.

"God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble"

but i dun wanna come across as too humble. too ashamed.

we ought not to be ashamed. We have the Living God calling us 'dear children'..what's there to be ashamed about?

These days, my sister has been talking 'God' to me.
I dunno how to react. i dunno how to respond at times. Is she ready if i were to quote verses from the bible? Would she resent that? On the other hand, i'm glad she has been feeding our spiritual food. May one day she is ready to receive the prince of peace into her life.
Now now now, this morning. yeah. the first thing she asked of me to sing with her. How nice and wonderful to start the day with a song of worship to our Abba Father.
Sister on the GUITAR and trying to strum and I do what i can do- sing.

oh GOD help me do somthing about that void in me.
She taught me some chords. She wasn't the first one though.

'i only wanna be where u are.....i only wanna be where u are
holy holy is the LOrd, King of glory.
Forever, Saviour of the world.....'

I'm extending my prayers to my cousin and jiahui now.

lean not on my understanding but
(psalm 37)
v3 trust in the Lord
v4 Delight yourself in the Lord
v5 Commit your way to the Lord
v7 Be still before the Lord
v34 Wait for the Lord..

The weather is still gloomy.
it seems that there is a shady greyish piece of cloth between my eyes and the trees outside.
Nope, the greys clouds. It is the grey clouds.... The air is still,low, cold, lifeless....

but my trust is in the name of the Lord
i can sing your praise, you are Faithful.

Watched gladiator just.

U heard about the gruesome murder case reported in today... guess where the other 2 boxes???

YaYA camp+ others

YaYA camp is finally over.
i'm still lost at word when people asked me how it was.

Very challenging to work with the youths.
Thank God for his grace and mercy and protection.
Once again, He answered our prayers during the camp.

New friendships are formed and old ones strengthened.
On the other hand, some relationships have been strained.

My faith has upped a bit but room for improvement.
The xtended worship was incredible. Holy Spirit filled the place and
I hope the lives of the campers and the committee would nv be the same again.
positive change i meant.

It is nv easy to let go what u posessed.
It is nv easy to walk outta comfort zone
It is easy to pt finger and blame others.
It is easy to forgo relationship with one another when u have tasks to complete in a very short time.

It is a burden that youths are not growing and maturing. Still playful and ill-disciplined. Then if i were in their shoes, wouldn't i be lidat as well?

Indeed, this camp is a learning, humbling experience for the new bird in convenant.

Next week, i am helping out at youth obsession (visit www.youthobsession.com)
as usher / counsellor. Hope God will make use of me mightily ESP in my youth.
ALso, coming up is the NVAC camp....
seems like my days with working as a tutor is not that boring afterall...

I NEED $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

now, there are lotsa pictures to upload when dunno when i shall do that.

jiahui, yurui, zj, jing, zy, vic, juliana, i await ur return!

now tat the camp is over. i'm falling sick.

i cannot... i need to settle the NUS admin stuff too...
