Strectched... Again

Haha, been so tired recently from all e work and studies. Time to enlarge capacity again.. i need to prevail thru this season! Need to maintain my results! AWwwwwww

Had a great move of God in CG just now, felt as if Holy Spirit took over my preaching as soon as i started till the very end!

Its definitely not my own strength but truly His Spirit!

Well, i know its time to trust God again. So much pains and disappointments

- Clinging on to His promise! I need His grace!!!

Grateful & Thankful!

Okay, shall try to blog again! Need to improve my writing skills anyway. I have approximately 13 months before entering into the corporate world, gotta sharpen my written communications!

As usua,l if one were to look back on life, its always ups and downs. But i just wanna take this time to be thankful for all the breakthrus i had in the last few months!!

1) Got SIM Scholarship worth $13,000 to finance my fees!
2) Got selected to be one of the 18 All-Rounder Students of SIM
3) CG multiplied N355 * N468!
4) Had many great exposures in SOT!
5) iCare Vice President
6) Business running smooth (though still slow!)

Of course, with some fair share of disappointments and very difficult moments.

BUT, if I were to sum up the entire past half year of my life in ONE sentence it would be
"I realised that God REALLY REALLY loves me!"

So cheer up!! Rejoice!!

Jude 2 (The Message)
"Relax, everything's going to be all right; rest, everything's coming together; open your hearts, love is on the way!
Fight with all you have in you."

Woo hoo!

Got 'reminded' that my blog still exist... Thanks ah Zi Ying

Really impacted by the teachings on the blood of Jesus by Dr Joshua Hong...

Recently i've seen the "Reality of Humanity"

People you respect will somehow one day disappoint you. Its only human..

Almost rose up in judgment when i got reminded:

"You are probably no different", says a still small voice

All of us, every single one are here ONLY by His grace.

All of us are still sinful & 'wretched' in some ways. - So why judge? Trust His justice!

Communion is so powerful yet we sometimes treat it as "common"

We need the Blood... Every single day!


SOT ending soon... I started off with brokenness... i wanna end in brokenness too...

Not broken becos of circumstances this time, but broken by His grace

To always walk 'with a limb'

01 Feb! A Special Day


Wow today's the 01 Feb!! A real meaningful day.

01 Feb 2004 (Sunday also) was the first day I stepped into City Harvest...

I remembered on that day:
I agreed to go with the motive of 'seeing girls'
How I wanted to leave before svc starts due to the intimidating & massive tongue talking christians at the pre-svc PM
The excitement and empowering atmosphere that totally changed my view about church
The powerful preaching by Pst Kong titled "Thinking For A Change" that made me want to come back again and again
I 'lau-ed yu sheng' with the then N237 under Bro Derrick, made some new friends and
Then the journey begins...
No turning back, No regrets at all - the place where i am shaped and moulded and where i've found my purpose!


Many had come and many had gone

Many ups and many downs

All I can say is God is faithful even while we are faithless.

Do felt some time wasted along the way due to the religious and legalisitc mindsets i adopted in the past.

YES! i am so much more FREE now - with greater sense of righteousness, peace and joy, and greater sense of faith, hope & love!

All things have worked together for good and still is working

Anyway, still wanna believe that 2009 is still the best year yet

There is something more!
 
PS: Got this from Pst CK's blog that struck me once again-
You become great by accepting, not asserting
Your spirit, not your size, makes the difference

I am here to post the happenings for my long awaited holiday. The last time i travelled was with the army, its so much more at ease now...

Caught a cold almost immediately after touching down to Hong Kong.

Man! its cold here... Still suffering now..

Reached my brother's residential building and it looked totally like a 5-Star hotel lobby!





Had lunch at Wang Jiao, at this particular Yun Nan Restaurant

 

Nothing special about the food, but the main highlight:

"Deep fried BEE PUPAE!"




 

Overcame the Fear Factor to try the dish. 'Taste like fish's eggs or something like that...

 

Above: Curry fishballs, which seem famous with the Hong Kong people, but it taste quite HORRIBLE to me!

Rest of the photos:




 





Felt really blessed, finally can have a quality reunion with my bro after so long of  busyness and separation. Felt refreshed by the togetherness of the family also!

And finally have the free time to blog... Look forward to the next few days of fun and CNY b4 heading to SG.

Okay, i am dog-tired now, have had a long day. zzzz

Back!


Havent had the mood to blog for the last many days. Its probably just not an integral part of me yet.

Came across this sayings on Discipline:

Discipline = Link between Dream & Reality

In life, everyone goes through 2 kinds of pain,

1) Pain of Discipline,
2) Pain of Regret

The difference is that

Discipline weighs probably an ounce
Regret weighs probably a tonne!

Okay,

Going to Hong Kong fo CNY soon!

First time in my life I'm celebrating outside Singapore.

Can't wait to taste the authentic DIM SUM,



all the roasted goose, char siew, noodles etc



BBQ tonight, Steamboat tmr... Lots of food during CNY.

How to keep fit in 'tough times'?!

4E7 Gathering!

Had a YTSS 2002 4E7 gathering yesterday evening @ Sakura. Everyone was like "Wow! Time flies!"  (I am getting old man!)

Every single one in the gathering are right now pursuing their degrees be it part time or full time. Many of the girls are already in their Year 4 in University!

Forgotten some names and faces but it doesn't take long to have the flash back coming back. Almost forgotten i am the really quiet and low profile type in Sec Sch. Things does change over the years man.

Nice feeling, though only 25% of the class turned up and my closest cliques weren't there!


 !

Our dearest form teacher Mr Lee Siak Chong, has aged quite abit, but still as nice and polite as ever. I finally mustered the courage to ask for his forgiveness for frequently sleeping in his Biology class!








 
The super smart twins. Glad to know that they are now in CHC! And serving actively as CGCs.




Went for a movie after the gathering - Bedtime Stories.

Contrary to the name of the movie, its not childish at all! But was in fact interesting, anticipating and lots of learning points.

It tells of how the bedtime stories that are told and imagined by the main character Adam Sandler actually came true in reality. Symbolising the power of visualisation and confession! Nice!

Its a funny timing that i am blogging right now, 430am in the morning. Counted down at my favourite Balaclavia, had nice movies, friends, CG and family time to accompany thruout the day

2008 has been the most unique year of my life so far. Never in my life had i faced so much challenges, heartbreaks and tears, and never in my life i had thoughts of giving up everything as rampant as 2008. YET it was also the year that i grew and learnt the most. All things shall indeed work together for good!

My greatest testimony is probably: "I am still here!"

2009 - It shall be a year of reaping! Every seeds and sacrifices i have sown shall come to bear fruit!
 

"Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy" Psalm 126:5


So many things i am believing God for in 2009:
- CG to multiply!
- Business to breakthrough
- A 4.0 GPA
- Family to be saved
- Driving license (finally)

Brian challenged me to go for a bi-athlon this coming March. 1.5km swim and 10km run. Man! i have never been a good swimmer. Still hesitant on whether to 'take the challenge' anot... Haha
