Youth Camp

All praises to God! This is the 1st Youth Camp for SACC. And it's my first as well, at the age of 24. A bit too old for the camp. Nah! I'm still young. This camp really is a special camp as it really reveals the faithfulness of God. I'll talk about this later. An update on wat happen during the camp.

18 Dec (Sunday)

Well, the teams went for the AmazinGrace while me, daniel and Xu En help out with the logistics. Had to trouble Jia Bao to drive the Church Van to fetch the barang barang. By the time we reached was about 2plus den have to quickly set up the sound, den realised we bring a lot of unnecessary stuff. Wasted my energy. Den somemore nvr even eat lunch. But thk God got Xu En and Daniel to help. By then, all the groups had reached St. Andrew's Village. So quickly bunked in, took a shower and went for dinner. After dinner, had a worship session. Yvon leading and i was supporting her and playing the guitar. Really very hard to play and co-lead. But Yvon did a good job. And we also taught the youths the theme song, Therefore being Justified By Faith with actions. The youths were awesome. After that we had a time of devotion and afterwhich we had a game session, called CSI, suppose to be kinda like a detective game, solving clues to find the murderer. So I was assigned to be a DNA Technician and pple will come to me with evidence and I will tell them the analysis of the evidence. So much fun. Then at the end, only group 4 guess the correct murderer. That's my group. Lionel and Yvon's group. Yayyyy!!! So after that was a quick supper and lights out.

19 Dec (Monday)

Woke up early to play basketball. I think around 6.30am. Saw some of the youths not asleep, so they joined me. After the game, washed up and had breakfast. It was splendid. One whole chunk of egg omelette, 1 hotdog, bread, mash potato. Yum, Yum. Then we had worship led by Ting2. Introduced a couple of new songs which were very inspiring. Then she teared, must have meant alot to her, these songs. After, we had the honour of our senior pastor Rev Wong Tak Meng to share the word of God. The camp was titled Holey or Holy? And the verse is taken from Phi 4:13: I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. Pastor talk about life that is holey is like a donut. It is tasty on the outside becoz of the sugar coating but yet it has a big hole in the middle which is not filling. It has no substance. It is not nutritious. Whereas God Himself, He is Holy becoz nothing can be compared to Him. Holy means to set apart for a special purpose and value. And are we ready to prepare and reserve our life, set apart for the purpose for God?
Had lunch and had some team bonding games. Afterwhich, we had a session where a present-day youth issue is brought up and discussed openly amongst the youths and adults. We specially invited Li Boey, Julie, Zhi Cao and Zhi Yang to guest speak. Me and Xu En sneak out for a while to get somethings. So kinda miss the beginning. When we came back, they were talking abt Teen Romance, if it is right or wrong. Hmmm! Interesting. Honestly, i feel this topic can debate on and on and until the cow comes home and there will not be a conclusion. How i feel is how one define Teen Romance, according to God's standard and individual's values and principles. Though i'm out of the youth age, i did have teen romance before (sad to say, all one sided. haha) But as I look back, i thk God nothing happen out of it becoz they were nvr meant to be. But i still feel that to certain extent Teen Romance is necessary becoz it is natural for one to be attracted to the opposite sex. God makes us this way. But then I always believe is how we carry ourself in the relationship according to God's standard and also personal values and principles. I believe that the relationship shd be more of one on understaning each other's characters and also to build each other on God's character than to focus on just the emotional aspects. And the relationship shd be purely on a friendship basis. I know we are talking abt romance here but i believe romance is not just found in the emotional part but also when both parties start to discover abt each other's characters and also wanting to help each other to grow in the Lord's presence. Well! This is my stand and values. You dun have to follow if you dun see eye to it.
After that had dinner den had a short worship before devotion. After devotion, we played underground church. The youth advisor get to be the Reformists and we get to 'torture' and 'interogage' the youths. Quite fun except that the lights couldn't be switch off. I wanted to be harsher but William told us to tone it down as this is the first time we are doing it, dun want to leave a bad impression. So can't do much. But had pretty fun. The torture chamber somehow or rather became a good 'nite spot'. Haha! It was at a dark corridor end. At the end, there are many pple volunteering to have a try at the torture chamber. haha. After the game, William had a debrief with us and telling us the rationale behind the games. I was soaked wet with seaweed, one of the torture stuff. Smells awful man. Then had to clean up the torture chamber. Xu En and Claudia were there also. After cleanup, went to bath, had supper and sleep.

20 Dec (Tues)

Woke up abit later and some of the youths playing basketball, so join them and after tat went for a bathe and went for breakfast. Yucks! Porridge. Plain one somemore. Then after that had worship led by Xin Ling. I have to say she is getting the hang of being a Worship Leader. Becoming more confident and less self-conscious. Then Pastor Wong had his 2nd sermon on how to be holy. 1stly, to honour Christ in life and in death. 2ndly, to work out our salvation as God works in us, 3rdly, be wise abt who we follow, 4thly, rejoice in the Lord always. After sermon, had lunch and followed by more games and then the water games. Woahhhhhhhhhhhh! Fantastic. I'm loving it. Got myself all wet but that's the whole idea. After that had a buffett dinner, short worhsip followed by devotion. After devotion, it was the highlight of the day. Specail Night. Each group is given certain criteria and with that, they are suppose to come up with a play. I was with the Youth Committee and Advisors group. We got Powerpuff girls, David Hasselhoff, PCK, Matrix. Haha! I was David Hasselhoff. Muahahaha. Den really funny man! All the rubbish things all come out. You must see the video for yourself. After that, had a prayer meeting with the committe and the advisors. Honestly, by den I was already very touched at what the Youths are doing. They are really rising up and responding to the calls of God. And I truly know that our God is a faithful God who will keep to His promise and will continue the good work He has started. I just couldn't hold my tears.

21 Dec (Wed)
Last day of camp. Had breakfast, den worship led by Gordon. Den Pastor Wong shared his last message. We are on earth, for a race. To run the race and win the prize. But along the way, there will be temptation to sin in Power, Money, Sex or we may be threatened by fear of Death, Loss and Rejection. But if we hold to word of God, Phi 1:6 He began a good work in you, He will bring to completion on the day of Jesus Christ. If we can see beyond all the temptations and fears, we will be able to see a good course in running the race. It is better to be accepted by God and rejected by men den to be rejected by God and accepted by men. Phi 3:13-14 Forgetting what lies behind and straining towards what lies ahead, I press towards the goal.
Then Pator ask for a respond from the crowd to come forward and meet God face to face. I thk GOd that all came forward. Once again, I couldn't hold back my tears. Indeed our Lord is a faithful GOd. Prais Adonai. Xu En came over and prayed for me and I really thk God for him. At the end, i could see many of the youths being touched and I know that the Lord is starting to do things in their life. All good things have to end. But i knew this is the beginning of many good things. Den had to clear all the logistics. Thk Xu En, ariz and Charlie for helping. Brought everything back to church. After that, I was so tired, I couldn't move, I simply drop dead on Lydia's table and slept for 45mins before going home. Haha. This is going to be an unforgetable time.

Hand Me The Trotters and The Goblet of Tyres

My! My! Disappointing! Really a let-down. I thought I'm into a treat of more magic and mystery but I am wrong. All I get is half a cent of some 'wannabe magicians'. Or maybe it's just me. I have too wild an imgaination when I read the book and that it is too dramatic if it was done it in the movie. Waste of my money!

The hall was pathethic. I think as part of the school loosening of budget, they have magically reduced the size of a grand hall into a mini tuckshop of some kuching kurauk primary school. (no offence if there is really such a school). Really pathethic, seeing the 4 houses having to squeeze in that mini-bar. Or maybe it's just me. Everybody has grown up, so relatively and compartively, the hall looked smaller with the same number of people but bigger in size. Yah! Maybe this can explain my oversight.

Dumbledore looks like an old, senile, easily freak-out man. He doesn't behave like he is a wise magician. He was squeeking here and there and raising his voice in frustration and hopelessness. My goodness! He is suppose to be a wise though with uncertainty about the future but yet firm and steady magician. But no no! I think he needs some oiling up in his acting skill or else I will really say DumptheDoor.

Ron! Hmmm! Honestly, i thought if he never appeared in this movie, it won't really matter much. No development in this character. But i think he should get a better hair stylist. The hair really look bad. I know his appearance not suppose to be something that is attractive but den, i'm sure he deserved a better hair style.

Harry. I still think he looks like Frodo Baggins. Or they are both the same actor. Hmmm. Nothing much to comment.

Hermoine. Hmmm. Ok! Nothing fantastic also. Well! Have great potential. Though the dress she wore for the ball was a bit too much for her. Then again, she is still young. Got to wait another few more years before such gown fits. Anyway the ball was pathetic too. They should really go for proper dancing. And the ballroom is darn small. Yes! Yes! I haven't forgotten about the school cutting-cost budget.

My! My! I don't have much to compliment about the movie. Ok the 3 challenges that the Champions had to face were pretty exciting but overall the show didn't bring out any flavour. The director tried to change from the usual directoring to a more dark, suspense, eerie feel. But honestly, it felt like they were saving on the lightings. Sorry folks! Disappointment and I say with great regards, waste of money!

Rating: Forget about the rating.

Yet another unofficial blogging! ^o*

Actually, i wanted to blog this yesterday one but forgot about it. Yesterday in the afternoon went to play basketball. So den got a few kids and den this youngster and an uncle dropped by. So they wanted to play a match, 4 on 4. Den kinda of unfair. The other team got the uncle, the youngster and 2 kids which can play quite decently. My team got me and another youngster and 2 kids who can't play quite decently. Alamak! Haha! But for fun still play! Den somemore play full courts. NEarly died. My team only me and the other youngster can play pretty well! The other team rite, the uncle super accruate. Every shot all 'chop' one. My goodness. No mattter how you mark, he sure can get the ball in. Actually wanted to play hard defense with him one lah but den decide not to since it's a friendly game. First game, lost 15-10. I tot it was not too bad since my team's headcount is like 2 and 1/2. Dun ask me how i have 1/2 a head. Actually the 1/2 head is quite kind in words alreadi. So den play 2nd match. Totally, lost out. Lost 11-4. Dun mind losing lah! In fact, i think i work out alot. Running up and down the court. Den while resting, that uncle came and chat with me. Den he really talk alot. He started saying that his shotting very accurate, the more you mark him, the more he become 'hot' and accurate. I just smile back at him and acknowledged his fine performance. Den he said that he was an ex-national basketball player. Den somehow or rather, he gave me a 'history' lesson. Started talking about his past den saying how good he is and this and tat. Actually I was a bit annoyed, not so much with his talking but rather his 'boasting'. For the benefit of doubt, i believe every single word he said but his pride really getting over him man. I purposely told him i knew an uncle who was an ex-national basketball and about his age. I told him the uncle's name and den he hesistated a while and reply saying, " yah..... I know him." Den quickly he changed that subject and started rattling off about his past. Erhh!! Honestly, it's such a pity. He was really very good, in fact this is an understatement, he was a genius but den his pride is such annoying factor. Can't he just be humble! What a waste of talent! Thkfully I'm not very good in anything so there's nothing i can boast about myself. But in everything that i do, I give thks to God for His guidance. Praise be to God.

An Unofficial Blogging Session

Muahahahahaha! Your first question will be why am i not studying and instead blogging? well my answer is I'm just not studying lorh! Muahahahhahaha! Xiao4 liao4! Hehehe! Anyway just tot tat it's good to relax. All studies and no play make me a cranky person. Well! My first week of study started off well until the 2nd day. Just couldn't keep up with the pace. Kinda of behind time after the 1st week! But i guess it's ok! Should be able to pick up later. I hope!

8 - 11Nov:

On the 8, was in church studying. Den afternoon time, Lydia and some of the youths came over to do some art craft work to raise fund for the Mission Fair this coming weekend. As i was a chpt ahead, i decide to take time out to join them and also to distress. Pretty fun! Then as usual i try to be arty-farty(is tat how you spell this word. Smell funny! haha) I tot i was pretty artistic. Drew a sunset, a swing on a tree in an open field, erh can't really remember. All i remember at the end of Friday, i did like about 10-11 master pieces. Muahahahaa! I'm such a genious. Opps! My head bloating!

12 Nov:
Had really a bad day! Didnt' get to study! Reached church at 9 plus den start doing work! Den at 12pm had a meeting. Den at 3.30 got youth fellowship. Den 4.30 got worship practised. Den lasted 3hours. Was really tired, upset, frustrated! Just so xian until want to break down. Really no motivation to lead the next day worship. After dinner, went home and sleep. But b4 went to sleep, was thinking over the whole day and was starting to feel like i'm acting like a foolish kid. But still very tired. Den knock out. Den in middle of the nite, suddenly woke up. Somehow very strange. Woke up very suddenly and was pretty concious. Den somehow the Spirit impressed upon me Psalm 23. Den i hesistated and dun know why i check the time on my hp. It was 2:36am. I'm not a superstitious person but den God has spoken to me b4 in such manner. I presumed that God want to speak to me with His words. So i turned to Psalm 23. Only 6 chpters. Haha! King David wrote it, saying that God is our Shepherd who will guide us, He is our staff and rod who will comfort us and in v6, it says "Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and i will dwell in the House of the Lord forever!" After this, my heart really sunk and suddenly felt a sense of comfort. Continue to linger in His presence until exactly an hour. (check my time again and it was exactly 3:36am! Hmmm! Coincidence? Nah! Godly divine) So went back to sleep!

13 Nov:
Woke up pretty refreshed though still quite physically tired. But i know in my weakness, His strength will keep me going. Though there were some hiccups during the 2 svcs, the Lord was gracious and He kept the congreg in one voice and the presence of the Lord was definitely encountered. Den also got the Mission Fair which was really well-received! Really thk God for His people who are so loving and generous. Prasie be to God! Hallelujah! By the time we cleared up, it was abt 3plus. So went to eat with William and Lydia. Den also pretty excited becoz I think i'm mastering the art of carrying baby and not just the normal way but with one hand. Muahahaha! Thks to Anna, my guinea pig! Opss! Sorry! I meant, erhhhhh, ai yah you know wat i mean lah! hahaha! But Anna really an interesting baby. Usual baby if cry just rock a bit will shut them up. BUt this one really different. Must 'jalan jalan' den she will keep quiet. Hahaha! So after lunch went back home and SLEEP! Another day gone! Got to keep on going. 1 more month and i will be a free man. For a few weeks den back to study again. I hate my school system. It's miserable, terrible, horrible, horrorensome, @#@$@##@$%@#*%*%(@*#(@*%#(). Well! You get my point! BUt still must study! Irony of life. COmplain about it but den still got to face it. Thkfully got God or else surely will 'peng shan' one.

Last Official Update (till my exams are over)

Well! I haven't been really updating but just keep posting things that are funny. Haha! Honestly not in the mood to update since this period of my life is boring and routine. Starting to prepare myself for exams. Going to change my whole lifestyle. Going to study fr 4am - 6pm with breaks and meals in between. Den fr 8pm to 4am, Sleep! Why i choose to study fr 4am? Becoz that's when everybody is deep in their lala land and no one will be able to disturb me Haha. Den when everybody start to wake up, I'll move myself to church to study. THkfully church has quiet place to study. But really hate it. Everybody is more or less into their holiday, and i have to start mugging. Haiz...! And also very proned to going into mood swing during this period. Year end is coming! 1 year has passed since I talked to HIM about that issue. Will HE answer me?? Why worry over things that I have no control. But start worry over how to control myself and make myself study. Well! Today was helping Sam to play bass. Hehe! Out of fun, I decide to doll up myself. Wore a white shirt, brown jeans with a jacket. Look pretty formal, i will say. Den everybody ask me why i dress until like tat. WHy! cannot is it! Do i look like a freak? Haha! I'm cranky. But when playing bass, the Furman set got problem, everybody is coming out nicely fr my set but my bass. Always got the "koropok" sound, cracking all the way and I couldn't hear properly and just couldn't keep in beat. Den after a while, totally no sound. Gave up. Just played without the set. Not too bad but quite disappointed with the quick song becoz I couldn't hear and I know I wasn't in beat. Everytime i play the bass, something will happen. Or is it me? Haha! Den sat in the Youth Camp Committee Meeting. Looks like everything going smoothly. Den after 2nd svc, went will William and Lydia for lunch. After which, they send me home. I decided to go down early to Anglican High to play basketball. Also to get my stomach warm up. Ate lunch too late, den have to start to digest the food. So after playing basketball, join the soccer. The lunch was really a bad idea. After warming up, couldn't run or else really become Merlion. Den after warm up, had a match. Uncle team vs the YOuth team. I was playing for the Uncle team. Last week, lost by a margin of 4-0. I was the keeper. Today, Uncle team won by 5-4. Yes i let in 4 goals again. But am i lousy or what! No lah! Just that in an Uncle team, there's some 'restrictions' which worsen as the games progress. haha! And every match, I will end up with at least a collision which you will see my down on the ground, grabbing my head. It's always not tat serious but I tend to 'exaggerate' it more since there's no referee. But den having say this, i dun fake my collision or injury. And also did a boo boo. While saving the ball, I elbowed myself in my own rib. And it was full force. After saving that ball, I was on the ground in pain. Stupid man! So after the match went to Bedok Blk 85 to makan again. Li BOey brought some bee hoon and we ordered some Otah, Chicken wing, Carrot cake, egg Oyesters. There goes to all the calories that was burnt. Haha! Den after that took bus 17 home. Well! That's about all for today. And i guess i won't be updating much until after my exams. ARRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I can't wait till exams are over. I'm looking forward to YOUTH CAMP!

MOOD ANALYSIS TEST


You are constantly hoping that your good fellowship and attitude and your 'love for your fellow man (or women)' will give you peace of mind. You need people - people around you to care for you and to show you that they care. It is this hope that keeps you going, the hope that makes you the type of person that indeed you are. Your own need for approval seemingly makes you always ready to help others and in exchange you seek love, warmth and understanding. You will always listen to others and you are open to new ideas which hopefully will prove fruitful and interesting.

Rejection is what you fear the most and it is this fear that makes you unapproachable. You are looking for acknowledgement and above all looking for people who can appreciate you for who and what you are.

There are times of everyone's life when 'compromise' is the name of the game and this is the time, so you have no alternative but to forgo some pleasures for the time being. You are capable of achieving satisfaction through physical activity.

All the distress and agitation is the result of attempting to avoid any form of stimulation or excitement. The situation in which you find yourself at this time is one of hostility and therefore you are under considerable pressure. You are very irritable and prone to angry outbursts. You are in a mental quandary and you could be experiencing physical problems.You are very distressed by the apparent hostility of everyone around you and you feel coerced and subjected to intolerable pressures. You are resentful of what you regard as unreasonable demands on you but the situation is such that you feel powerless to control it and at this time you just don't know 'which way to turn'.

You feel utterly wretched - worn out. The demands that other people have been making on you have depleted your strength and stamina. You feel powerless to try to remedy the situation on your own and you are looking for what is hopefully known as 'divine intervention'. But be assured your salvation lies in yourself - you have the ability so use it.

These are the designs that I came up with for the Youth Camp this year end. Though none was being selected, I was pretty pleased with my pieces. First time doing it and I must say i'm not bad. Haha!

11 -12 Oct (Tues-Wed)

11 Oct (tues)

Today went to church at abt 10 plus. Actually wanted to study but realised church was having another Bazaar Sale in the hospital ground. So ended up helping with the stalls. Den while tending to the stalls, i went to look at the jewelry section. Den i spotted 2 earrings which i liked so bought them. Giving 1 to my sis. Hehe! Had a quick lunch. Den move the stalls to 2nd floor outside the Chapel. There is a Elderly svc that afternoon in the Chapel. Den the aunties and uncles all very generous. BOught a lot of things. Thk God everything went pretty well. By the time we finished, it was nearly 4pm.

12 Oct (wed)

Today it's not my day. Wanted to go to church study. So reach church abt 10pm. Den realised something. I step on a piece of real darn, incredibly, unbelievably, superbly, indescribable of shit. Yo! BINGO! Stink up the whole place. Den wash also cannot wash away the smell. So end up have to go home and change my shoes. By the time i was done and back in church, an hour was gone. 11am. Xian! I was too distracted to study. so end up nvr study. Den went for lunch and went to CCSS. Only Jannah turned up and she needed help in Chem. I haven't touched chem since sec sch. That's 8 yrs. Haha! But thkfully, i was able to recall bits and pieces of the subjects. Taught her Ions, Ionic Bonding, Covalent Bonding. Muahaha! After that, she went back and i went to Eastpoint to buy some grocery and den went home. Den have to wash that shoes and i think i have to dry it for a few years before i can wear it again.

SUNDAY

Yayyyy! IT'S SUNDAY! Pretty excited. This afternoon we are having our Bazaar Sale and Parish Dinner. Went to svc in the morning. Was at the Chinese Svc and Arch-Deacon Seow was the preacher. Talking about balancing Grace and Truth. Funny! I though Rev Yong talked abt this theme last week. Hmmm! But still very enlightening as he brought up his perspective. Left svc a bit early to go finish up the pdt for the Bazaar. After 1st svc, I needed to go Eastpoint to get some cardboard. So was asking around if anyone goin for lunch but den everyone seems like have some other things to do. So at the end, alone i went to Eastpoint. Didn't eat. Just collected the cardboard, run some errand and went back to church. Den met some of the youths who were having their meeting for the Youth Camp. As i was busybody, i sat in to hear their meeting. I'm pretty impressed. Actually this is an understatement. They were really independant. William wasn't able to make it and they ran the whole show by themselves. Fantastic man! Praise the Lord! After the meeting, did some more stuff before going to Expo with Leng Leng. Den met Xing Ni and Eleanor and went for lunch. 3 of us very cartoon. There were a few eatery outside Expo Hall 2-5 and we walk fr one end to the other end and den finally walk back to the start. Ate at this noodle shop. Pretty nice. Den also added some side dishes. And thk you to Xing Ni. 1 free meal. Muahahaha! Den as we walked back to the area for the Bazaar Sale, saw that a group of the Chinese Congregation, all ready to unpack their barang barang on the table. Haha! I also started to unpack, den the rest came and help with the posters and the sales. Even before the official start, sale started. We were selling bouquets of paper roses, phtot taking and printing svc, cards, fridge magnets, chocolate, cookies, wired name tag. Woah! Pretty much items. Auntie Khim was baking the cookies and she was late. I tot she forgot the time. But when she came, her cookies went out pretty fast. Hot cakes or rather cookies. Den the next best was chocolate followed by the fridge magnet. The photo taking took up slowly. But at the end, have to rush the work. The cards were beautifully crafted by Emily. My goodness! Really fabulous. But den have to charge at a realistic price, so may be a bit pricy to others. But we still did sell a number of it. Well as you can see, i haven't talked about the roses i made. Bad news for it. Didn't went too well. Firstly, there's another group selling single stalk which is much afforadable. Secondly, all the guys out there are all practical men. They would rather get $10 worth of food den to buy the flowers. Oh woe to the world. Where are the romance and the enthuasiasm? Haiz....! Haha! Talking rubbish. But honestly i wasn't even too bothered by it. I didn't even go and lelong it. I just left it at oneside. Then when the Bazaar ended, everyone went in for dinner. I gave a bouquet to all the girls and den the youths took a group photo. Claudia was stil busy with printing the photos so i stayed back to help her. Den Dan and Nat came out to help a bit. By the time everything was done, the dinner had gone into the 3rd course. I was suppose to sit with the youths but den last min, some hiccups, i gave up my seats and sat with another table. That table's pple i know but somehow i would still prefer to sit with the youths. Can identify better. Den somehow i felt i was alone again. Dun know why i always feel like that. Not the 1st time. Many many times. But den every time i was always reminded by the Spirit. That when i chose to walk with Him and to walk even deeper with Him, there will be times when i will track onto path where there is physical emptiness but den His promise is He is always with me. Somehow it felt better after this assurance. So everything went smoothly, dinner was good. But honestly was real tired. After dinner, still have to help to clear the logisitcs. So pack up and went back to church to offload the barang barang. Den Chong Khai was with us and he asked if i could give him a bouquet of rose. Haha! Well! Why not! So gave him. Wonder what he do with it. Which girl will benefit from the roses. Haha! Ok! Den after this walked home. ANd really tired. Yawnnnnn! Just want to give thks to God for by our own strength we will nvr be able to accomplish anything. By His grace and His love, we know we can pull thru any situation. Praise be to Adonai!

Eventful Saturday!

Yes today Saturday! Dun know whether to be happy or not! It's the start of the day to meet up with church's frens but also signifies the coming a new weekday! But i still really thk God! Ever since the Youth Ministry has been officially formed, life seems so much meaningful. I looked forward to every weekend coz there's a clearer purpose for me. And I do truly enjoy the fellowship. Today have to go church and finish up the goods for the Bazaar Sale. Suppose to meet at 2pm. I was in church by 11am. Haha! So went around finding things to do. Cleared some food in the church office pantry cupboard. Went to 7-Eleven and bought this funny roll which cost me $1.50 and was left with $1.70 in my pocket. So poor! And it taste quite funny but who cares! So went back to church and went to play the keyboard. How i wish i really know how to play the keyboard. Tried playing but somehow as usual, cannot keep in beat. Hmmmm! But keyboard really very nice. Must get a gf who knows how to play keyboard den save me the trouble of learning myself. Muahaha! Den attended the Chinese Congregation Worship practice. Den at about 1.20pm, went to draw key for the OLO room and brought all my barang barang over. Then Jason, Colin and Samantha came. Then followed by I can't remember who! I know at the end, got one big crowd. Some did the cross, some did the 'name' wire thingy, some did the chocolate. Den Charles, William and I were trying to come up with the pricing. It is really interesting. What I learn in Econs, Mgt and Accounting, some how or rather, i was able to apply something fr it. Den finally did pack up at abt 6pm. Actually wanted to end with a time of prayer to pray for our church and ourself but it was a bit overtime. So packed up and was going to leave. Den Karen came and requested for some help. Apparently the church's cleaners didn't set up the chairs in the MPH for tomorrow's svc. So had to help to move the chairs and arrange. Thkfully everybody was quick. I guess everybody was hungry. After we were done, we left for Tampines for dinner. Wanted to go to TM foodcourt but still under renovation. Then went to Long John Silver. Ate a 2 piece chicken, upsize with additional coleslaw. Well! It was a bit too much. I felt like regurgitating my food. So after dinner went with Daniel to look for formal shoes. So he went Hush Puppies first den i suggested to go Isetan. Went to Isetan, he tried on one of the shoes. Den while he trying, I spotted a pair that i like. Velvet kind of material and brown in colour. Somemore on discount. $79 to $39. Muahahaha! Tried on the a size 45 and fitted well. At the end, Daniel didn't buy his but i bought mine. So went back to Hush to look again. Ariz now suggest go Century's Metro. So walked over but Dan found nothing he like so went back to Hush again and again. Haha! So he tried on the pair that he like. Fitted well! So paid for it. How much? $115. Woah! Rich man! Me buy shoes on offer one. Haha! Anyway Darren was also with us. Oh yah! Another thing was Dan didn't wear socks so he borrowed the pair that i was wearing. And he was wearing a short. So imagine him in short and a pair of formal leather shoes with brown-black strip ankle socks. My my! Ariz, darren and me had a good laugh boy! So after that, both Dan and I are satisfied and home we go! Yawn. Going to be a long day tomorrow. But going to be an eventful day as well!

3 - 7 Oct 2005 (Mon - Fri)

3 Oct (Mon)

I only check my timetable on Sunday evening. And i just realised something. I dun have sch this week as well. My lecturer still overseas. Muahaha! Actually i needed this break not so much to rest or slack but rather to rush finish the consignment for this coming Sunday's Bazaar Sale. But i tot i would take a rest for today. Hmmm! Well so didn't do anything at all.

4 Oct (Tues)

My memory is failing me. I think i went to Bugis in the morning to get my ribbons and wrapping again. Den after tat, dun know why i was feeling sick again, so took a cab back to church. Den started with the flowers. 30 bouquets! My goodness! What was i thinking of. haha! During lunch, got the honour to drive out to eat claypot rice. Hmmm! My driving skill not too bad, manage a 3point turn effortlessly, manevoured my way up a spiral carpark. The parking was good but when we return back, i park badly in the church's carpark. Need to repark for at least 3 times. Haha! Den carried on with the flowers. Well! Stop work at 5.30pm and went home.

5 Oct (Wed)

Yes i'm back in church for the flowers again. Carried on folding and wrapping. Den i think i left at about 4pm and went to play basketball. really need to take a break fr the flowers.

6 Oct (Thur)

I'm back again. More flowers. Thankfully, today was a satisfying day. I finished 19 bouquets. 11 more to go.

7 Oct (Fri)

TOday was an eventful day. Went to church to finish up the last touches. Yayyy! 30 bouquets done before 2pm. However, 8 of them i dun have fitting ribbon so i had to go and buy it. I was contemplating if i shd go to Bugis or go to Simei and try my luck. Bugis too far so i went to Simei. Not much of luck. So decide to go Tampines. So took train to Tampines. Den suddenly had this... what do you call that feeling...erh.... there's a word for it...... it's call RETAILTHERAPHY! haha! I tot since i'm here, as well do some shopping. So went to Sports Connections and now i have a new members to my series of bags. Den I went to Royal Sporting HOuse to buy this exercise equipment. Den went to Life Bookshop and got 2 CDs. I paid it partially off using the vouchers i had for my birthday. Dun mistaken me. I was looking hard for the ribbons as well. There wasn't any in TM so i went to Century Square. I found one shop that sells it but it was too expensive. 1m for $1.20. I needed about 8m. No way am i going to spend that kind of money. So i carried on looking. Century Square also fail me. So I decided to try the shop houses. I walked one big round and still in vain. Den as i was coming to the end of the shophouses and as i was going to give up and go back to church, i found 1 shop that has the ribbons. For tat moment, my unwanted nature appeared. I really wanted to curse and swear. Make me walk all around and only to find it at the last shop. But den i think again, why did i think in such a way. I shd give thks to God becoz even when i was giving up, He led me to the shop that has the ribbons. Yes it may be tiring but den again i still manage to do some retailtheraphy. That instant moment, my agony turn into joy. Then also God reveal to me the names for my bouquets. I have 3 colours, Red, Orange, Blue. Red for LOVE, Orange for JOY, Blue for PEACE. haha! So went back to church and do up the last 8 bouquets and yayyyy! Done! Finally! Hurray! WOrld peace! Joy to the world! I'm becoming cranky. Den i move on to another consignment, Fridge Magnet. I bought some Magnet Sheet and was cutting them into smaller cubes. Paste behind the design and test if the magnet was strong enough. Hurray! The magnet stayed where it was. All was done by 6pm. Thk God for He is good. Praise be to God!

30 - 2 Sep 2005 (Fri - Sun)

30 Sep (Fri)

Well as i have said the day before, suppose to go Ikea to look for my materials to use to make things to sell at bazaar sale. So left house at about 9.50am. Reach Queenstown MRT at 10.30am. Then walk over to Ikea. I always find myself very funny when i go to Ikea. The starting floor is always on the 2nd floor and you will make your way down to the ground floor to pay up. But for me, i always start fr the ground floor and as you can see, i'm the only one walking against the flow of the traffic. But who cares rite? I was looking for this beads that you arrange on a template and iron over a paper to melt the beads to form the pattern. And i bought ths beads nearly 3 yrs ago. Haha! I tot tat Ikea will be stupid enough to still have the stocks. Guess what? I'm the stupid one. Well they didn't have the beads and actualli i tot and hope tat i can find something interesting. Nah! Nothing! Honestly quite a waste of trip. So after an hour of walking in Ikea, left the place and went to Bugis to buy more ribbons and wrapping papers. So after that (erh... while i'm typing this, i took a hard few minutes to recall what i did later, as you can see, age is really catching up) went to church to do some stuff. Helped Eleanor to wrap the pots of cactus for the bazaar sale. Den at abt 5pm met up with Ariz to buy stuff for the BBQ later in the evening. I always wanted to try doing eggs during BBQ! So i bought some eggs den also added bacon to the shopping list. YUMMY! Den went over to the BBQ place, took quite a while to set fire den the rest came, (anyway the BBQ is for Darren's birthday) den i tried bbqing the eggs. First time round end up half boiled egg becoz fire not hot. Den 2nd time was a bit more successful. So next time round, eggs for BBQ! This time round, i decide not to do any of the BBQ! I have been doing this job eversince i had attended the 1st BBQ. It's time for the big chef to take a back seat and let the younger ones serve me. Muahahhahhahha! Well they did a pretty job and the food was cooked and edible. But i realised this trend. There are more guys at the pit den girls. Actually i'm too kind with my words. There weren't any girls except for Samantha. The girls were at one corner enjoying the atmosphere while waiting for the food. Ok ok! I think I'm hearing some defence fr the girls. No dun get me wrong, i'm not saying it's wrong. All i say it's the trend. Yes! yes! The pit is dirty. Or, i dun know how the BBQ food and afraid the food not cook. Well keep these excuses coming! My advise to the guys out there, want to survive, learn how to cook! After BBQ, was real dead tired, took cab home with Amelia and James. Reached home, took a quick bath and knock out!

1 Oct (Sat)

CHildren's Day! YAAAYYYYAYYYYYY! I'M SO not EXCITED! GOSH! TIME FLIES TOO FAST! GIVE ME A BREAK! COULD I STOP GROWING FOR JUST 2-3 YRS? Haha! Today also my dad's birthday! So going to eat Dim Sum. Then have to rush back to church to meet the youths to do the craft work for the bazaar sale. So was a bit late. Den started to do the bead crafts. Need them to arrange the beads on the template to form cross. So at first none wanted to do the arranging. All just sorting the colours. Den finally W.Y started arranging follow by Soo Fern and Xin Ling. Den W.Y's creative juice start to ooze out and she came up with different design and called it hers limited edition. Really very nice and I'm sure she WILL (BETTER) buy it! Den Ariz was doing heart shape. We call it Ariz's Heart. Den while they did the hearts, i was making the roses. So after about nearly 4hrs, we did nearly 100 crosses and i finished about 20 roses. Still have a fair bit more to go. Next saturday! Den after that went to Eastpoint's Popular to buy magnet sheet. Went home, watch a bit of TV and went to sleep!

2 Sep (Sun)

Went church at about 8am. Den tried to finish up a bit on the remaining roses. Den went to Chinese Svc. Today's topic is on Grace and truth. Wasn't really paying attention but roughly know what was being preached. Talking about Grace that it is something we receive but yet not wat we deserve. Then talked about Truth that the world now holds a view of that there's no absolute. The truth is in what one believes. But for us as Christian we know the Truth is in God's word! Well! People out there think that there's no absolute but what i can tell you is that even then there's still 1 absolute and tat's tat we all will die. Eat that! Muahahahah! Sorry no offence to anyone, i'm just being cheeky! Den afte svc, rush off with Jeff and family and my sis to catch Stomp. Yes! Stomp is in S'pore! Had lunch and went to Durian world! (ESPLANADE) My my! The performance is first class. They are simply fabulous. The rhythm, the beat, the instruments, every bit of the performance was brillant. And humour is definitely not left out. They have this Asian girl in the team and she will always be the 'clown' of the team. I kinda pity her. But one comment and that is that S'poreans shd watch more plays and learn when not to clap and when to clap. And also to learn to interact with the performers. Learn to read their body language. My goodness! Honestly a bit disgraceful! Clapping at the wrong time, doing the wrong things that the performer is trying to get us to do! Ai yoh! Well as i said the performance is captivating and fabulous. I'm running out of words to describe it. Haha! After the performance, went home and sleep! Really very tired! So I guess that's about it.

Today no school but goin to be a busy day. I haveto continue to rush finish my consignment- the paper roses. So at abt 10am went over to church to fold the roses. Getting a bit xian of it. Imagine having to do abt 150 pcs at one time. My goodness! Faint! Haha! But i still enjoy every bit of it. Do it as a worship onto God. So den this afternoon i couldn't go down to CCSS to visit the students. I'm sorry but i'll pay back for my absence, promise! Then at about 1pm, went for lunch at Expo. Church staff need to go down to the Parish Dinner restaurant to check out. Haha! I have the priviledge to drive. The passengers are excited as me. Haha! Or should i say they pray like never before. Haha! But it has been a while i touched a car. But still quite confident. Every thing went well until we hit the carpark. I was not confident of parking and the voice behind me was like, ai yah just park anywhere lah which actually imply, ai yah just park the 'easiest' slot lah. Those that you can just drive straight into the slot and park one. Well! I was too not encouraged to do a backside parking so i took their advise. Then we went to Foodcourt. Me, Li Boey and Eleanor were tempted to eat at BK. So we went over and ta bao over to Foodcourt and Pastor Ngiam Koy also came over to buy at BK. What's an uncle doing at BK? Haha!. So after the meal, went to the restaurant and check it out. After that, drove back to SACC. Den i tried backside parking and it was successful except that i didn't dare to reverse too back, fearin of hitting the car behind me. Ended too much empty space. So have to reverse a bit more. I'm good man! I must study hard, earn big bucks then get a car. Yayyyy! Easy said then done. So went back to church, carry on with consignment den at about 3.30pm left for home. Have a haircut appointment at 4.30pm. So went home changed den went over to the the hair saloon. I didn't want to keep my long hair. Very hard to manage. Very bulky also. So told my hair stylist to shorten it. Well this time round he didnt' cut as short as the previous time but den he really cannot cut short hair. Cut until abit like girl like tat. Well! Dun want to complain too much. Den after hair cut, decided to go play basketball. My goodness. I was pathethic. I was off form. Was it becoz i lost my hair and i lost my accuracy as well? Haha! Excuses! So after a while, got frustrated den left. haha! Well tonight going to be a long nite. have to rush my consignment. Yawn!

Really alot of hard work but really quite satisfy with the end product. In the evening got worship practise for a Sat's event. Shu ping leading. Suppose to meet in church at 7pm. I reached pretty early so was in church office offering my service. Folded some bulletins den help to paste some labels on books. Den went for practise. Every thing went prety well! Den it was about 8 plus. Den some of us the younger ones, went to eat desserts. Then suddenly craved for rojak. So ordered tat and i had the bulk of it. Muahaha! After that went home and den prepared for my Sat's worship practise for Sunday's svc. Yawn! Really tiring.

24 Sep (Sat)

Went to church to help to pack the logistic stuff to bring over to Simei Care Centre for the Chinese Leaders Meeting. Shu Ping leading worship. So started pract at about 12.15pm den after one run thru went to eat at the canteen. Ordered fish and chips. Really took a while but the portion was really humongous for the price we paid. I was so afraid that people can see the tail of the fish if i open my mouth. Ok! Lame! Den went up to run thru once more. But really cannot hear ourself. Well the svc started. Played as what we had practisd. I would say we did quite a good job. Den when worship over, we left the meeting. haha! I had to go for youth fellowship. After youth fellowship, had worship practise. Our team really quite small becoz some of the members are oversea working. So only got Amelia on the Clavi, Kevin on Bass and Gary on Drum. I wanted to play the guitar but really, i found it very difficult. Somehow i always find it very hard to keep in beat when everybody is playing. Well to start with, playing alone on the guitar, most of the time i am not on beat. So you can imagine how bad it could be when everybody is playing. So i gave up playing and just focus on worship leading. Even then, i still need to put in alot of focus and concentration to keep in beat. Somehow there's something wrong with my ear. When i am too near to the music souce, i get very disoriented very easily. Haiz! Yah lah yah lay! Me finding excuses. But I am still a good boy ok! By the time we finished, about 6.45pm. Then went with Gary, Kevin and Wilfred to Blk 85 for dinner. Along the way picked up Christine. Ordered Minced Pork Noodle. Took like nearly 30 min to arrive. Yawn! By the time finished dinner, i was dead tired so took a cab home. Haha!

25 Sep (Sun)

Me Good Boy! Reached church at 7.45am. Final worship pract at 8.15am. Today special day, got baptism. 5 candidates. Emily and Si Wei are one of them. Pretty excited for them. So then worship started. I guess everything went pretty well. It was simple but i would say it's edifying and ministering. 2nd svc was a bit not too enthusiatic, tat's how i will put it. Smaller crowd i guess and also the songs are not those usual rara songs. So i will reserve my comment but would just say the people are ministered in another way. After church, had a guitar session with 2 church members. Honesly, i dun really want to teach beoz I dun have the foundation to teach. What i know is all purely thru observing other people. Didn't really teach much lah! Ended up people corrected me on certain things. Haha! Well! Then after that, joined my sis's cell. They were still in church doing up things for the bazaar sale. My goodness. I really fall in love with the things they were making. They were making ear rings and handphone sling. My goodness! They were pretty and classy. Just like those selling in departmental stores. Hehe! I managed to learn how to make the earrings and the handphone sling. Muahahah! But i was too tired to help them. No creative juice. So after tat went home with sis for dinner.

26 Sep (Mon again)

No school! And didn't really want to study also. So gave myself a break. Then i haven't been conscienciously working out. Kinda stop for about 2 weeks. Very scared I will gain back all those fats tat i burnt. Den as i slowly settled both my feet on that 'thing', I knew it was a good fren of my! But den i knew i had to carry on exercising. So in the afternoon at abt 3pm, went to play basketball. Played until about 5.30pm. So refreshing. Den I guess later i just stoned in front of the PC. Have i forgotten? I am still a good boy!

27 Sep (Tues)

No school! So went to church at abt 10am to study. Study until about 1pm den went for lunch. After that carried on studying for a while, den went home changed and went to play basketball again. Den i think i saw Amelia alighting at the bustop near her house which was opposite of the basketball court. Not too sure if she was Amelia. TKGS uniform and the build about the same. Wanted to shout out her name and then hide and see her reaction. But den i tot tat was too lame and stupid. People on the court will think that i'm a gone case. Haha! Played until 6.15pm den went home. Den watch Da Chang Jin at 7pm. Today's episode really very touching. The emperor was suffering from an ailment and one of the effect is becoming blind. So Chang Jin found out the cure for the illness but not on how to prevent the emperor fr becoming blind. So the emperor recoverd but vision was blurred. So Chang Jin and Min superintendant were implicated. They were arrested and tied up. Then the emperess came to Chang Jin and ask her if she could heal the emperor, baring in mind that if she failed, she, Min superintendant and the emperess herself will be implicated. Chang Jin hesistated and didn't answer. At this moment, Min superintendatnt replied with so much faith saying that Chang Jin will be able to heal the emperor. His words gave her so much will-power that she gained her confidence again. My my! So romantic. Haha! Ok! Enough of being mushy. I am still a good boy!

Too Fast Too Furious (On the way to burning out)

Need to take a break soon. Feeling that moving too fast and doing too much things. Feeling a bit tired and work starting to become choresome. Haha! Not so much of complaint but doing a reality check on myself. Really need to take a break. Classes intesifying, self-studying also, den plus church responsibility. Woah! This is my record, going to lead worship for 3 times in 4 weeks. Haha! Den still got one church baazzar sale to handle. Hmmm! After this got to slow down and take a break. Den have to move into study mode. Exams just somehow spring up on you when you are least prepared. So got to start preparing.

Many things going thru my mind once again. Somehow these thoughts have always been reviving itself after i have resolved it. I'm 24, I'm unattached, I'm still struggling to study, I have no saving, can I make it into the corporate world when i finish study and that's if i ever graduate! And every time, though I have no immediate solution or answer to all these, I was able to come to term that God will see me through. It's not that I'm faithless that all these issues start to roll back into the mind but I believe these are very real life problems that I'm facing. And every time, though there's no quick solution to it, God is always there to comfort and assure me that He is there for me and He has a 'great' plan for me. Well! Maybe some of you may say I'm just deceiving myself to make life seems better! One thing I do know is that I can deceive myself but my Lord will never deceive me and I trust in His word:

" 11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD,

"plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

JER 29:11-13

Yes! Indeed our Lord's purpose is not to harm us but to prosper us. And I like the following verse saying that when we call and pray to Him, He will listen to us. Praise be to our God for He is a God of love that never fails.

16 Sep 2005 (Fri)

Actually very proud of myself. I have started studying during my free time. And honestly, I really have alot of free time. My classes are mostly on Monday,Tuesday and Wednesday. And each day only 1 lecture of 3hrs. So you can imagine how much unutilised time I have. And for the last 2 months, all these free time, I have been slacking around. haha! But cannot anymore! Have to start now or else i will suffer at the end. It's like on Monday - Wednesday, after class, I will be at home revising. This is something tat i dun really do. Then on Thursday and today, I went to church and really studied for abt 3-4hours. Really am so proud of myself.

Today during lunch, an interesting event happen. Was eating and den a table away got this little child seated, waiting for his mum. And he got this whinny voice and was lamenting away where his mum is. I didn't bother to pay attention and not long after he disappeared and den I heard any voice. A lady's voice. Complaining to the Kopi house's attendants that his son is so stupid, ask him to wait den nvr wait, den this lah, tat lah. Wah Liew! Really quite a scene. Den we tot tat when the boy come back, he sure get a good time fr his mum. So den the son came back and we were waiting for a good show. Surprise Surprise! Guess wat the first thing the mum say to him. ????????????????????? "You want to eat fast one den eat either chicken rice or char siew rice." *.* " Something wrong with the mum man. Haha! But thkfully! At least she nvr make a scene in the public. Very damaging to the growth of her son. But I learn one lesson fr this incident. How you present yourself to your kid, your kid will end up being the same. I say that at first the boy was lamenting den followed by the mum complaining. Somehow or rather the pattern very similar and can see tat high chance the son pick up the lamenting skill fr the mum. Likewise for me. My mum tends to be defensive whether small or big things that implicates her and inevitably I have also pick that up. Haha! But since I know my flaws, have been trying to be less defensive. So very important, in front of children, got to always present a wholesome and right attitude to them.

Then I have been chasing this Korean Serial. So nice! Must watch! Highly recommended. It's title "Jewel in the Palace". I won't introduce the show lah! Too much thing to talk. So want to know, go and watch. But today's episode really touching. The lead actor is a leader in the army and the lead actress is a medical lady. So villages near the capital have been hit with an outbreak of disease. So they were both send to help the villagers. Den the villains were send too and they plotted against the lead actress. The villages were supposed to be cordoned off by Imperial orders and all the Imperial pple suppose to retreat back to Palace. Den the villain told the lead actress to go into another village to look for herbs and without informing her abt the Imperial Order. So she missed the hour and was trapped in the village. The lead actor knowing abt this, couldn't care much less, forced his way into the village to look for her. Then he found her in one corner, tearing, and she felt very lonely and unwanted. Then the actor comforted her and challenged her to stand firm. She recovered and with the actor tried to help the villagers who are affected by the disease. But due to shortage of medicine, the villagers were skeptical abt both their willingness to help. The actor had to go to other village to look for medicine and the villagers warned him that if he doesn't come back, they will kill the actress. The actress told the actor to go to this village to look for medicine becoz she has been there 2 days ago and there were medicine. But in fact, she actually kinda guessed that there would not have been any medicine during this time of crisis. So was actually quite worried he would not be able to return with any medicine. The actor was given a day time. So he left on a horse and when he reached the village, he found no medicine. And he was worried sick. Then the next scene was the villagers got impatient and locked up the actress. And den a fire broke out and the actress was suffocating fr the smoke. Then the actor arrived back in the nick of time to save her. When she regained conscious, there were so much relieved in both their eyes. The actress said tat she was glad he came back for her. The actor replied saying that he knew that he meant very much to her. Oh! My! I was near to tears as well! It's not like any fairy, hairy tales where the princess meets the prince and they live happily ever after. It's like come on, life isn't like that! There are ups and downs and only when love is being challenged and dragged along the unleveled ground den will one know if the love is true and authentic. This couple has went thru so much for one another. 他是她的生存毅力。她是他的未来希望。He is her will to live on. She is his future and hope. That's how I will describe their significance to one another. And I want to draw out one main point. Our God's love is a true and authentic love. He is love. He is our will to live on when life seems hopeless. He is our hope and He is also our future becoz we know that He is victorious and when the time comes, we will be back to His side. Praise be to our God!

Your Inner Child Is Sad

You're a very sensitive soul. You haven't grown that thick skin that most adults have. Easily hurt, you tend to retreat to your comfort zone. You don't let many people in - unless you've trusted them for a long time.

How Is Your Inner Child?

10 - 11 Sep 2005 (Sat - Sun)

10 Sep (Sat)

Woke up at 8am. Need to start preparing the food for tonight's dinner. I was going to do soup and salad. So intend to do the salad first. Got potatoes, shrimps, chicken breast meat, egg. So cook the potatoes first den followed by boiling the prawn. When potatoes cooked, started to peel the skin. This is really the hard part. Peel until my fingers skin wrinkled. Den peel the prawn and sliced into half. By the time done with everything was abt 10plus. Then my mum woke up already. Was teaching me how to prepare the soup. It's actualli chicken soup with white fungus. But I think the uncle whom i bought the white fungus cheated me. I wanted the more crunchy one but he gave me the one that soften very fast. Haiz. So was OJT den by the time soup was done was abt 12pm. Den left for church for worship practise for the Youth Fellowship. Si En is leading with Xin Ling supporting. Ding Yi playing keyboard, Amelia on the bass which was too heavy for her and I played the guitar. The worship turned out pretty well. Si En now is more confident and less hesitant. Keep up the good work. I think Auntie Khim also praised that it was a good worship session. So after that went to small group. Today only Ding Yi and Jason around. Haha! I dun know whether I am doing it right or in fact doing injustice. My small group time always the faster. I dun think I shortchanged or compromise on the sharing. But rather a lot of time, i just feel tat the notes are too much and the youths' attention span is getting shorter. I believe if i can get the point across within 30 min rather than the allocated time of 45 min, den why not. But den I just pray that the Youth will not take my 'goodness' for granted and only attend my class becoz I am short and end earlier. But I'm pretty sure they are matured enough. After Youth Fellowship, Charles gave Daniel, Claudia and me a lift back to get our delicacy. Actually my dishes not complete yet. Still have to go Lydia's place to do up the dressing for the salad. Didn't want to do earlier or else the dressing not fresh. Hmmm! Me sound like a chef. Haha! So by the time reached Lydia's place was abt 7plus. So started t do up the dressing . Secret recipe, cannot tell! Auntie Khim brought curry chicken and English Carrot Cake and Achar. Claudia bought this very unique vegetable dish - cabbage wrap with other more ingredients in it. Daniel brough chilli fish. Emily brought Oreo Cheesecake (with authentic cheese). Den William also had Vinegar pork and egg. Suppose to be for Lydia as this dish is always prepared for lady who just went thru labour. I guess we all need this dish as well since Youth Ministry is very much like going thru labour. Haha! Honestly, it is more like a feast for 3 days than a dinner. All the food was superbly delicious. After dinner, we sat over coffee and cheesecake and started our discussion. SO many things to talk. By the time we were done, it was nearly 11plus. Yawwn. Really very stoned by den. Den Auntie Khim gave me, Dan and Claudia a ride home. THk you so much. Imagine still have to take MRT. x x" So reach home and knock out.

11 Sep (Sun)

(BLUR) Woke up at 7.30am. Go church. Attended Chinese Svc. Pastor was talking to the theme inline with the Yellow Ribbon drive that it concurrently running in S'pore. This is an organisation that help released prisoners to enter back into the society as well as to educate the society not to look down on them but to accept them back. Pastor mentioned that Jesus did not just mingle with the crowd but also the outcast of society - leprosy, prostitutes, sickly. He had compassion for everyone and His unconditioned love is for everyone. We ourselves are sinners and had been forgiven thru God's grace and mercy. We were once lost but was found and accepted. We have experienced the love of God and the more we should extend this love to others. It's not so much that we are better people but rather we have tasted the goodness when we wer e far off and we want to share it with others.
After svc, went for last bible class taught by Auntie Khim. After tat suppose to go for lunch. But den as usual they couldn't decide. And i was really not in a mood to entertain them. So i walk towards CGH while they still fickling minding. Well no one followed me and i also didn't really care. TOo tired. At the end, i also nvr eat. Still having 'hangover' fr yesterday's dinner. So went to draw money and went home. Den change into soccer gear and left for church again. Helping to 'nannified' somebody's kid. Den at 4.30, brought the kid to the soccer training at Bedok SOuth SEc. The sky was cloudy and lightning was seen. So me and the kid pray to God to ask God to hold the rain. It's really interesting and nice to hear how innocent a child can pray. And true enough the sky kinda dispersed. But the Sport Council pple told us we can't use the field becoz of lightning. So no choice got to leave the field. Then we went to this overly crowded field beside Temasek Pri Sch. Ai yoh! Have to play on a small field. After the games, went to have a quick makan. DEn Daniel actually injured his leg again. After dinner went with him to A&E. Thkfully no broken bone. Haiz! He always like tat one. Coming to Mission period, he injured himself. Last yr also the same. Suppose to go Mission but injured himself den end up in cast and cannot go. Hopefully, his injury will recover in time. So after that, went home.

Finally get to dish up some delicacies. Fourplet Yayyyy to tat. Can't wait for tomorrow. After bought the stuff, went home and my mum was teaching me how to process the chicken. Hmmm! Doesn't look very appealing, I would say. Well! My advise to those who dun do such chores not to have a view of such process. I guarantee you will nvr want to eat chicken again. Haha! Then after that, went out to play basketball. Today no pple playing so no match. After an hour, sun too scorching, so call it a day. Then tonite going cell. Fifple Yayyy to tat.
