One of the Biggest Moments in my life :)

Finally, its like so so so many long years and time, since I last wrote a blog on this... In just another 3 more months and a new chapter of life begins... Watch this space as I will bring it alive once again... Yeah feeling a bit egg cited!? ^_^

Never Exchange~

Time cannot pierce through, it flows in the past
Deeply ingrained changes are not distant
Another ten thousand years, love remains unchanged
Love is spreading like fire
Memory is like a long thread, circling the sky
Life’s ups and downs made me think love is deep but fate is short
You reappear; I see commitment
Promise between the sky and water

Looking back, I didn’t go far
I’ll never exchange the clinging gaze
Had to separate, can’t get used to it
No matter how I add up, it’s just too hard
I’ll be stronger after we part

Hopefully this love will pass on generations
Song of love forgetting spring never ends, not letting you become a smoke
Remembering our past, looking at the reflecting sword
The moment of brandishing, don’t close the eyes again
And miss the awe-inspiring longing


Looking back, I didn’t go far
Yearning for a person and refusing to leave
How much sweat will be warm enough
You cried out, I called out
Deciphered the murmuring by the ear
Don’t be afraid, everything shall pass

He will come and Save You~

Say to those who are fearful hearted, "Do not lose your faith", the Lord your God is strong, with His almighty arms, when you call on His name... He will COME n SAVE..

Yes, indeed sometimes when are fearful and troubled, remember the Lord your God.. it is hard sometimes to trust and believe in His word.. But God in His wonderful times will come and remove all your troubles and worries.. This is how amazing everything you look back..

To those who are going to be in the midst of exams soon.. I know how you people felt.. To Jingting, if you are ever reading this.. I pray for you to be able concentrate and stay focus, and that you will be able to remember your revision and wisdom in able to keep up the important stuffs and remember them. I know that it is really tough to stay focus especially during this time of peak period.. but I pray that God's grace will be upon you that you will find peace n comfort to know that everything will work well so long as you trust in Him.. You can do it, I am sure You can do well and achieve what you want..

To rest, Keep going ok!? the end point is near, and there you will find the treasure and goal that you seek..

Pray for me too as I am also in the midst of my peak period.. thank God that this is my 4th peak so I know what to expect and do.. just pray that I can accomplish what is expected of me and my team..

A Birthday Wish~

Haha time really flies fast.. before you know it, its again your birthday.. well I am so glad when I think back on all things I have done, I have experience and to share.. I just glad that I can be of service to the people around me.. at the end of the day, what is that you want to achieve in life!?

Well, when I was young, I was thinking about being a successful person, able to get big $$ so that I can live in a private apartment, able to do things I want with the family and friends around.. but as time goes by, my perception of life changing.. everyday is a worth thanking God for.. imagine those people in Hati or Taiwan, in the middle of the night, a landslide appear and just buried them alive.. how can we say we are not fortunate, when do we complaint like the weather's hot or I dun like to eat this or that, when children in 3rd world nations are starving or suffering.. Dun you think we are fortunate..

We dun have a choice to choose our family members but we do have a choice to make that we live each everyday in peace and love with them.. That is my birthday wish this year that I can learn to live in love and peace with my family and friends around.. This is not an easy task but I am gonna keep trying..

Love God, Love His people, Share His Love, Show Kindness

Gong Xi Fa Cai - Tangshooters Outing~

So fast another new year is coming.. so what is your resolution for this new year!? Well for me, I think its rather simple now.. this year I hope to spend more time with my beloved ones the ones who are close to my heart.. sometimes in this fast-paced lifestyle, we tend to take the very things we treasure for granted that we may have another day to own or say.. but only GOD knows everything, and if you want to make sure u end the race well, you got to start to do things right..

Anyway, I just went for a photography outing with Tangshooters to Chinatown on the 23rd January after my involvement with the Children's Aid Society and well there's some pictures that I like to share here from my outing :)

YPM Camp 2009~

Well, as I am working.. I only went for the night services.. Interestingly, there's one topic I wanna share with you guys.. And that is the topic on "What Should I Do If I Really Like That Guy/Girl!?"

First, you should put yourself to a test.. Go out in a group.. Get to know what this person is like.. Is this person someone who flirts around or rather caring... The person may look nice from far but that does not mean that he/she is far from nice.. Get to know about his/her family too.. how he/she treats sister/brothers etc..

That is the introduction, next is about Faithfulness Rules.. once you're in a relationship, it is all about faithfulness to your counterpart.. Just like in Ruth 1:16 says "Don't urge me to leave you or turn back from you. Where you go I go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God." This is the sustainability all about.. You should ask yourself first whether are you really ready to enter a life long relationship? If yes, proceed on to the next section.. if not, wait and pray about it..

Secondly, be Thankful.. for God will never short change You... just like in Ruth 2:20 where Naomi asked the Lord to bless Boaz because he has not stopped showing his kindness to the living and the dead.. When you show your love/care/kindness.. God sees them and He will never forget you..

Thirdly, the Agreement.. We ought to give careful consideration to the issues of relationship.. In order words; "Don't be shallow".. Ask ourselves why do we want to enter into a relationship.. Is it because we are ready or just because others are inside so you want to.. remember being into one is about being faithful, you can only love one.. and that leads us to the next question..

Responsibility..  In Ruth 4:4 " I though I should.... But if you will not, tell me.. For no one has thr right to do it except you and I am next in line." Being in a relationship is not just about being romantic.. It is more about the Rights and the Likes... what you should do against how you should do.. It is able being able to take "NO" for an answer.. we are to be responsible for our actions..

Lastly, Security.. We must be ready for committment if you want to enter a relatioship.. the Guy must love the girl all the days of his life.. and the Girl must submit to the guy all the days of her life..

1 last thing to add on is to remember that All GOOD relationships are founded on good committments.. Don't rush into one when you are not ready.. Pray to God and ask God about it and He will reveal the time when you are ready to commit and enter a relationship with another..

Remember Faithfulness rules~

Annual Children Camp 2009~

Well for the very 1st time since 2005, I helped out in the Children's Camp.. and of all places, it was at my former primary school.. it does bring back memory of those days when we are young..

Anyway, I was being assigned to this group called Daram~~ it means Love.. well that's our mission.. Agape is the theme for this year's camp.. And so my group consist of boys and girls aged 9-12.. with the grp of boys; colin, bradley, ryan, christopher, tingwei, and the grp of girls; ada, nicole, cheryl, isabelle.. with my co-teachers; Gillian and Joel from FCBC.. yeah it was fun yet short camp..

The usual camp is 4 days 3 nights long, but this time they only put it as 3 days 2 nights.. for myself, i only attended from day 2.. and we started the day by doing area cleaning till about 10plus then we had service at 11.. went for lunch before some afternoon nap.. we had games in the hot afternoon where we had some telematches, quizes, catching of "mushroom" and "flower" and zero-point.. we missed out on the catching of balloons... and lastly a game on Ba Shi Bashi~

As for the night, service as usual then I went home for the night before coming tml morning for morning devotion.. Topic is on how to show love to your extended family members.. then we had service and lunch before we head down to Dakota St Luke's Elderly Care centre.. it was raining heavily then.. but when we all started to pray.. slowly the rain stopped.. it how amazing God answer our prayers.. especially His little ones.. so yeah we had a performance for the elderly then we head back to church where we dismissed after dinner.. it was sa good camp.. Refreshing :)

Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2009 IV~

Ok after all the pictures, now its time to desribe the story.. well the run was good.. I would gladly say thanks to GOD for such a perfect fine cloudy weather on the very morning..

We woke up at 4.30am.. hehe.. 1st time woke up so "early" for the run.. usually its like 3.30 instead.. then quickly change up, have some light breadfast then warm up.. Next, we then head towards the Start Point near Fullerton Hotel where we gun off at around 5.45am..

As per our intital plan, we ran for the 1st 7km in the time of about 49mins.. then we walked for 2km before we ran for another 5km then we walked for 2km then run till the 21km mark in a time approximately 3 hours.. Our running speed was rather comfortable at approximately 8km/h.. then our walk speed is about 6km/h.. then at ECP, we walked and ran along all the way till about 30km mark in the process I met my cousin, Adrian who is also running with his girlfriend, Li xing as well as my IRAS' colleague, Donovan..

So throughout the run, we are inspired by the 100plus drinking station where we had our filled.. and also the 1.5 litres of Ice Mountain Drinking Water where I carried it along with me from 9km till about 17km.. Managed to grab 2 packs of Power Gel which Jasmine disliked it.. $3 a pack leh.. then grab some bananas along the way and yes.. we ran and eventually overcome it with a rather respectable timing..

10km ----  1:18:56
21km ----  2:58:32
30km ----  4:28:25
32.5km --- 4:51:45
Grand Final Finishing Time for 42.195km ---- 6:34:07

Congrats to Jasmine for completing her 1st Marathon.. well, I am very proud and happy for her.. thank her for making this marathon a wonderful session and unforgetable memorable time we spent over the weekend together.. Love it.. Lastly, thank GOD for making all these possible with your undying love for us.. We just wanna say thank YOU from the bottom of our hearts..

So after that, we went shopping within the premise like Marina Square and Funan IT mall, it really felt good as I felt like a tourist visiting Singapore.. after shopping went back to the hotel to rest.. We had lunch at Qi Ji @ Funan, then dinner at Xin Wang @ MS..

The Day/ Night View of the Esplande is nice, take a look at this :D

Not forgotten the rest of the other sights of Sinagpore; the Saint Andrew's Catherdal...

To be continued..

Race preparation IV~

This is it.. the day has finally come.. Ok time to enjoy myself 1st at the Swiss Hotel later before the actual race event.. So fast another year just come and go like that.. Still can remember so closely the previous Standard Charted Maration 2008.. It was just like yesterday..

Do pray for us; Jasmine and I that we will complete in race in our targetted timing and that the weather would be perfect and fine.. no rain nor hot sun so that we can do it at ease..

Cheers us on~~ Aye!! We thank God for this event.. It has attract 50,000 people here in Singapore to take part in healthy lifestyle.. We should also have that same equal passion for Him and spread the Good News..

Nikon D3S n 70-200mm VR II f2.8 len combo~

Woah today I had a chance to play with the the Nikon D3S (rrp 9k+) and the 70-200mm VR II f2.8 len (rrp 3699).. I must say it was amazing.. the photographs captured is totally AWESOME!! that is what you get when you add these 2 deadly combo together..

I was able to blur areas and focus on areas I want within a split second.. amazing.. plus the effect that I can still achieve excellent quality at ISO 12000++.. mine now can only go up to 3200 average best is 1600.. I am totally fantasinated by it.. wow..wow.. I wonder will I ever have this $$$ to buy one or use one for a whole day.. POWER SIA!!

On top of that, I was able to try out the 12-24mm f2.8 wide len, 24-70 f2.8 VR len, the "king of portrait" 85mm f2.8 as well as the 70-200mm VR I f2.8 len.. can you understand my excitement today.. haha it was the best...I had a wonderful evening and experience, as well some exchange pointers and fact..

Thanks Club SNAP and organisers for this event.. It sure opens another view on photography for me.. Feels like I was in heaven for once.. hehe..

Race Preparation III~

2 more days and counting..

Yes, Esplanade here we come!! The long awaited day is coming.. And we did our final preparation a 10km run around IRAS within a 1hr 25mins.. Wish us luck, we need all the help and support we can find.. aye~

Do pray for Jasmine as she got back her last semester's results.. It is a very tricky situation as she was not able to maintain her GPA due to one of her 4 modules achieved only CR.. so now her GPA stands at 2.958.. I dunno whether this will qualify her to get her Degree with Distinction.. but I am sure there is always one person whom we can trust and stand upon.. and that is God, our father :)

Let's join our hands and pray.. Sometimes we need to learn how to ask God for the desire of our hearts.. Dare to ask and He will give it but only according to His wonderful plan He has for you in your lives..  Have faith and lose the HOPE.. He just wants you to learn how to draw closer to Him.. and slowly in His time, He will reveal His plan to you.. Plans to prosper and give you hope..

Agape~ Peace be with You, my fellow brothers and sisters..

Race Preparation II~

3 more days and counting...

Time to step up training and do our best.. Tml will most prob be the last run before the actual day so hope for everything to go well...

Results are out tml, I really do pray that God will grant you the desires of your heart, Jasmine.. Keep the flame burning brightly, take courage and have faith..

We will pull these through.. by the grace of GOD, our heavenly father who watches over us every single moment.. We can do this.. Amen!

A race preparation~

4 more days to go...

Are you prepared for the Race of your lifetime!? Well, undergo all the trainings and walks/runs to make sure we have come so far together.. Let's us finish the race together just as Apostle Paul had said, Let's us finish the Race.. Acts 20:24"

We will complete it, by faith, by God's strength in whom we can TRUST.. believe with me, even though we maybe torn apart but our feelings will unite us.. yeah! keep up the faith~

TPSD's Annual Party 2009~

Sad thing aside.. now for the Happy moments.. I am so thankful that the event is finally over.. After all the hardwork on planning, to the rehearsals, to the actual programs execution.. IT's finally over :) whew~ a big relief off my shoulder..

The event started with Welcome of DC, James to the audit.. then by a short video clip on silent your hp (Chicken Little), then our MC, Hadi comes up on stage to present the Somebody dancers.. well it was a good performance by the ladies in black.. then after that we had a round of BINGO followed by a skit performance by a team of us.. then the EXSAwards followed by the Lucky Draws and a special memo for Kam Toh who is going to retire shortly after next week..

In short, it all went well and everyone enjoyed it.. great job well done.. Thank God for the successful, I am sure all of my fellow committeess would agree that it is teamwork and sheer determination that gets us through this event and build a hype for the next upcoming committee.. Time to take a bow, IsAaC :D yeah!

Subjectivity vs Objectivity~

Have you ever wonder what is the difference between the TWO words!? Well, again I experienced that today.. It was a vicious cycle where the grey thin line comes into the picture again.. And I am powerless to prevent it from happening.. And as the result of this, I believe that I lost some good friends..

Humans, by nature are self-centred and tend to look at ourselves as the focus point.. Everything we do is usually, more often contain an interest for ourselves.. That is where subjectivity comes in, we're using our emotions to influence our decisions.. We're looking at how we can benefit from it or get the best value out of the situation..

Objectivity, on the other hand is where you start to consider others more than yourself.. You look and plan 2-3 steps ahead.. You want to have the best interest of the community that you are in..and hence engaged in some tough calls decision to make.. Consider others's shoes!? Of course, I do understand why you want to tender and move on.. but a reason for tendering is becos you want to join the other related community.. This is so self-interest, if you wait for the FY to end and join them then of course, there is no issue point.. We're already small in numbers, yet we will do good with the numbers and support we can find.. but when you go over to the other side, have you consider what impact you can do to the image of the community!?

How am I to find a replacement in such a short notice!? Yes, this is my problem.. but look as a wider point of view.. when you cross over to the side.. what will they think of the community.. A picture speaks a thousand words.. And once it spreads it is hard to build it back.. just like in the case of reputation.. once tarnished, it is very difficult to establish again.. But..

This is not impossible.. somehow I know the matter has already gone out of my hands, and I am powerless to make a difference.. I fear n maybe the case that I might lose some good friends in the organisation.. But in the Lord, I trust.. All things work good for those who Love and trust Him.. So I am just going to trust in His timing.. Time heals.. Have faith and take courage..

I have already humbled myself and apologise yet what I get is a cold shoulder.. I did what I can do already, the rest is up to you to decide.. Everyone's has their strengths and flaws.. It is only whether you want to focus on their strengths rather than their weakness.. That is what Objectivity is all About.. the power to put aside emotions and look at the whole picture and understand where the management is coming from..

I feel I think a class on human relationship.. I hate this feeling.. honestly..

Uncommon Sight~

Things you cannot find in Singapore or at least not commonly seen...

 

Just a note that this is just a testing of pictures inserted here.. Blogspot has a new uploading feature and I am trying to understand the usage of it.. Bare with me for a moment :)

Everything has its first time~

What was it like when you run your first race in your life!? That was what I had remembered on Sunday's REAL run.. when was the first time I felt my first love for running.. hehe.. the feeling and memory was sweet.. hmm in fact, I think its juz formed part of the past..

Anyway, I was very touched by Jasmine's sacrificial love to accompany me to run the REAL run as last min a friend of mine decided not to go for it.. It was a 15km run around Changi Exhibition Centre.. We had 4km terrain run.. followed by some 9km road run.. then 0.5km beach run.. and another 1.5km road run back to the finish line.. I must really thank God for the lovely fine weather over the weekend.. Can you imagine if you run past 4km terrain in mud!? Yeah, the run was lovely n memorable as Jasmsine did her 1st run completing with a timing of 2hrs 1mins 15secs!! She's good, considering that we set a target to clear this by 2hrs 30mins.. Only 1 downside that I feel guilty that becos of the run, Jasmine actually over-exert on her ankle and resulted in an injury.. I pray that she will recover fast..  In Jesus' name, we pray for the recovery n removal of the swollen ankle!! AMEN!

Still, yeah thank God for good times, Love Him for His undying love for us and well find time to hear his voice and appreciate his creation.. Love the Sun, Love the Wind and all His people.. Praise His Holy name :)

Reflections~

Well I think I have grown, or rather age.. playing multiple sports doesnt seems to be a thing to me now.. last time I used to be able to at least play a decent game but now, when I picked up the racket to play a competitive game of badminton, I lost all my strokes.. I wanted to place the shuttle at point A but it landed at point B instead.. I guess I didnt have the cut for it.. in fact, it seems like going so for the other games too, I can play them but its more like leisure rather than competitve.. I think those days of competitions are over..

As I thought about this, I realised that sometimes it is still good to have a focus on ONE thing instead.. juz like staying focus on my running.. still feels so great to run.. Be it for leisure or competitive.. that is because this is ONE good time where I can spend time with Him, having the peace and determination to complete the run and not to let anything or anyone to pressure or disturb me.. Yeah, the feeling is great :)

When is the last time, you took time off to think about your past, your present and your future!? Singapore's lifestyle is so fast paced that sometimes we forgot to take time out to reflect the life we are going through now.. I am looking forward to my run this coming Sunday.. Pray for FINE weather, the weather hasnt been so "kind" these days..

Peace be with you, my brothers and sisters.. Agape~

An Off-in-Lieu~

Sometimes when you just need a break, you take a break.. After all, I calculated and found out that I got 32 more working days before the start of 2010!! So fast going to be another year old liao.. haha, ok the day had been rather simple, just rest at home.. did some run in the morning then.. lunch out before I head back to office only to find out that volleyball training had been cancelled.. Man, it is sad.. Anyway, must thank Jingting for her sms, still its the thought that counts.. I appreciate it..

On a sidenote, I am happy that Omnia II had released its Windows Mobile Professional 6.5.. Yeah, I am looking forward to have my handphone upgraded.. It is high time they release this update :) now need to find time to head down to Plaza Singapura to get it done.. Hopefully within the next 2-3 days..

Dun worry, Jasmine.. I have a word of encouragement for you.. 1 Peter 5:7 " Cast ALL your worry on Him, for He cares for you".. I know that your results had not been what you wanted but dun worry for God has everything in control.. Surrender your plans to Him and seek after Him.. Ask BIG and HE will give you the BIG things you asked for.. Be Bold, Be Strong for the Lord, your God is with you :D

A race preparation~

Well well.. there's so many things happened today in church.. I was rather encouraged by Aunt Mary that all of us in a way or so have our very own special giftings.. And mine she said was the gift to teach, being a fatherly-like figure and the gift of disciplinary..

When I heard of that.. I was like in awe.. haha.. I never though of being a father yet.. but somehow in me.. it seems like they're like a kid to me, in fact whenever they're mischievous or going out of hand.. I would take the special effort to discipline them n to correct them.. After all, what is our purpose to go to church if we dun find time out for Him rather than being with friends.. And so, after that I got a teacher's meeting too where we shared with our past weeks, any thanksgiving and prayer requests.. I am glad that my session teachers are attending this meeting as sometimes I only see 1-2 other fellow teachers coming together for this meeting.. I thank God for His grace and abundance in His Love... God is Good all the time, and ALL the time God is good! Amen!

Ok, thats' for the church portion.. ok somethings that had been in my heart for a while and I decide to write it down.. And that this I am preparing for the upcoming 2 races; Real Run (next Sunday) and the Singapore Marathon.. Yes yes, I had been rather gulity not training hard enough for it.. But well, there's becos I had been going for it like this is my 5th year.. So continue to pray for a good weather And a Good Run.. its like a race for God, for family and for friends..

WE will do it.. And this year I plan to do it casually.. 15 km for 2hrs 30mins and 42.195 km for 7hrs 30mins.. hehe.. this is to be achieved by walking 70% n running 30%.. I hope I got my schedule and training tempo right.. 34 more days to go!!!

Best Wishes~

ok after some "nice" thrashing session.. i am finally feeling better.. or at least.. now.. it takes a piece of my mind..

Well, later in the day, IRAS netball team will be competing against the other Public Service in the bi-annual PSIG STAR games.. so wish them all the best.. Jingting if u ever read my blog.. yeah this message is for you..

Another 2 more months to Standard Charted.. so time to up my running tempo n distance.. it is important to be trained and well equipped for it.. a 42.195 for the fifth time.. yeah this will be a good one..

Pray for a good weather.. weather's had been rather crazy these days.. Pray for everyone's safety too.. Jasmine is going back to Malaysia..

So lets juz take time to wait n give thanks.. Honestly, how can you say that there's nothing to give thanks for!? There's like countless.. for the very air that we breathe, to the depths of the sea where we got our source of food and to the day-to-day activities that we carried out..

We can only juz say, "Let Everything that has breathe PRAISE the Lord" All the best peeps and have a blessed weekend ahead~

Soccer Passion~

Sometimes I do ask myself, what are we here for?
What is the purpose of my very life that we now lived here for..

Sometimes people just come and go just like that.. the question is how impactful have we have to their lives? Are we just someone who is a passer-by walks into a chapter of their lives then walk out of it once the time is up?

That is what is in my mind when we played the Government Service League yesterday at St. Wilford. We had a good chance of winning actually.. but becos of some management conflicts, our best players are on the bench.. even against 10 man, LTA we dun even stand a chance.. it was like 4-0 down already.. we lack tactical dispicline.. From the bench, I can see a Centre Back going up to be a Left Wing.. or a Defensive Midfielder becomes a Striker.. The centre is always left empty.. In the end, we lost by 1-9 against a team whom I considered on par with.. it was a disgrace..

I was wondered where's the passion? Why do we put people whom never even play in the team at all.. And they walked straight into the 1st 11.. I dun think I want to continue playing with such management.. It really sux..

I guess that is one possible cause of me feeling sick today.. My mood had not been real good after this..

Injured n OUT again~

Haiz..today is one of the saddest day in the year.. I am injured again.. sad rite? Last nite, while training for netball, I sprained my ankle AGAIN.. fortuantely for me, the fall was not so bad, still its swollen so I am OUT..

Why this week? The next day, I wanna go down to F1 race to snap some pictures, Saturday's Watchway Watch (there goes my time-off :X ), Monday's Soccer friendly (gonna miss it, wasted a 1st team striker starter, but now.. haiz...), dunno whether still can go for the Active Day's foosball or not..

But then because of this break, I finally get to have some good quality rest.. Sometimes, its nice to just wait upon the Lord.. Just rest in the Lord and He'll give us rest.. Yeah I dunno whether I can play still but hey.. I got my break.. Forget everything now, the Lord will provide :)

My 1st DSLR~

yeah after many months of reviews n read-up, I finally decided to buy one DSLR for myself :) interestingly this is like an interest that I pick up when I was with that someone, only that I buried it deeply inside me..

Anyway, I bought a Nikon D90 with a 18-105mm len kit.. it cost me a nearly $2,ooo.. did I say $2,000!? yes, I did it.. in fact, I also bought a flash light SB-600 that cost me another $300.. And also a Omnia II which cost me another $300.. so in short, my week's bill reads.. $3,000! woah.. it was my 1st time in my life that I spent above $1,000 and worst.. its like $3,000!! gosh I really know how to spend.. it was like haha.. there's goes my gratuity.. work so hard for it, then use nearly 1/2 within a week..

Took leave to go Comex with a 1st timer friend, lala and walked around marina square to have lunch at Jack's Place, where I discovered I now got a friend who also eat medium-rare steaks.. haha next time I can ask her out to the steakhouse for a meal :D, then head down to COMEX 2009 where the crowd I would say based on 3 days experience there.. 50% crowded.. so GOT my DSLR there then walk around and look at other IT stuffs which I nearly bought a hard-disk but not able to find a nice price for it.. then walked towards starbucks to have a chill, then watch a movie called Blood Ties.. a 1st movie for me since I dunno when.. haha few months ago..

After that, we went to Old Airport Food Centre to have dinner where we ate the fried fish slice bee hoon.. I think it still lost out to my favourite Blanco Court :D, I wanna go there soon.. yeah~ then after that, head home to rest.. next day I still got EXCO meeting and meeting..

Another interesting pointer is that I went to the COMEX 3 times, haha cant believe I am so bored that I got to go there 3 times.. then now I should be preparing for my Mizuno WAVE run 16km this sunday.. keep the story short..

In times like this, Remember the LORD in our quiet and happy times~

A word of Encouragement~

"No matter how many despair and darkness we are sufferring, for one thing i know, the light and hope in our hearts shall never die"

As adpoted from the 大決戦！超ウルトラ８兄弟 Great Decisive Battle - The Super 8 Ultra Brothers 2008

Now is the time to wait upon the Lord~

Now is the time to wait upon the Lord
Give Him Your heart
And magnify His name

Softly come
and wait upon the Lord

Feel His touch
Hear His voice
Know His Love
As you wait upon the Lord

Today is another big decision day in my life that I have to wait upon the Lord.. I know that by my human strength alone I will not be able to do it.. Only by waiting upon the Lord, will we be given the strength and the rest we need to run.. To run on for Him..

Keep praying...
Keep waiting...
Keep Hoping...

What a joke~

Let me tell you guys a joke.. Ok firstly, I need to tell all of you that if you have my hotmail/msn account.. You most prob need to remove me and re-add me.. why? becos I tink someone actually hacked/break into my account..

It's ridiculous that I forgot my password even if I forgot it.. my computer saved a copy of that.. and yes I can't login.. so what I do.. as a simple action.. say I forgotten my password.. then guess what!? they say they will re-set the password and the email will be sent to the email address.. I was like WHAT DUH!? How you expect people to change the password why the password was sent back to the same email address..

And even if I use the secret question.. someone actually changed my answer as well.. so I am speechless.. I lost all my contacts and emails.. Looks like it was really time to just move on and look at the present and the future.. I had this email account since 1998.. I am gonna miss it though..

Those whoever still reads this blog, you may contact me at my new msn/email account - isaac.yeo@hotmail.com instead of kenshi_yabuki@hotmail.com.

Peace be with you guys~ Always remember everyone in Love~

Prove~

Today, we had a special speaker by the name of Michelle Hamalton.. She is an interesting speaker.. in fact, it had been quite somewhile since we had a guest speaker.. Her topic today was rather simple.. It was like a testimony of how real is God in Her life..

She started off with a video, which caught me wandering.. the word.. PROVE..
How do we prove that there is a GOD when we don't see a GOD...

It is amazing how the video relates it to things that we can relate to.. like..

To prove that there was sunlight... there was shadow
To prove that there was thunder.. there was sound
To prove that there was a Father.. there was a son
To prove that there was a Creator.. there was creation
And many more..

But how do we prove that there is a GOD? He is ever present, a silent guest in ur household.. A friend in times of need and more.. why don't we see Him then? That is becos we are not REALLY LOOKING out for Him.. We are not using our eyes to see Him.. We are seeing things the way how we want to see and not how He wants us to see Him..

John 10 once again rings the bell.. The Lord is our shepherd and we know His voice and listen to His voice.. it is only then He will make the impossible possible as like how He saved michelle after being out there in the South China Sea for 3 days 3 nights.. It was her 100% faith that saved her very life..

Thank you, michelle for your personal testimony.. It really touched me deep in.. Makes me wonder and everything so in line with our Open Sunday theme.. I am sure that God will do His mighty works in CM once again..

Feels like I am falling.. Feels like I am falling...
Feels like I am falling..
Falling into the arms of Love

The power of the mind~

It is interesting to know how God helps us understand the importance of communication in our lives.. why do I say that? Well, that is becos I am suppose to look through and suggest for Open Sunday for 2 weeks time.. then today, we went to watch a movie called "Coming Soon"

Hmmm, the show by itself is not that scary, but rather frightening (yeah I agree with you, Felicia) But I am not going to comment much about the show but rather how it can affect us.. As I was walking home later, I realised that why people are afraid of such shows are becos we're able to relate ourselves to the characters in the movie.. We're looking as though we're the 1st person-view in the show and with the sound/noise created from the atomsphere, we started to feel and know that horror/errie is creeping around us.. and that's why some of us began to feel frighten or afraid.. We know what to expect when we hear and recognise that sound/noise/music..

Likewise, I come to understand just as Jesus said in John 10, "I am the Good Shepherd, my sheeps knows my voice and listen to my voice..." Do we listen and know when He calls us? That is the message, we want to bring to the lost.. This is the message we want to bring to the kids.. I am inspired to do things for Him.. Exciting times ahead :)

Agape~ (oh btw, Man Utd lost 2-0 to Fulham & 2 red carded, so happy :D)
