haven't been blogging for a few days.. quite surprised today when i went down to informatics (my old school) i met my student counsellor which i haven't seen for very very long.. and he still remembers me, even my full name.. haha feelin bad now cos i can't remember his. anyway glad to see him...wanna share a blessing haha just now when i went out with huimin, we wanted to buy "wu xiang", then the uncle sold us 10 pieces for $2 only cos i think he's about to close the stall. anyway it's still a blessing and we both ate til full.. well at least for a while hahaha for those who know me well sure understand that i can get hungry very easily... *pai seh*
glad that shirlyn came last night to the cg, am very encouraged by her testimony, it's great to hear how she shared god's blessing upon her. we all enjoyed our time together indeed!
^_^
thinking >> is there any way to play Bm7 but not bar-chords...???

haha how do i start this... had a fruitful day today.. started the day with a very rare short ddmm, then after lunch together, we all just 'nuah' at sp hq.. watched this extremely funny short clip about life of Jesus combined with terminator.. we all laughed til couldn't stop man...that one was ultimate!
then li yan and me practised guitar a little bit, was very fun... jasmine gave us some pointers in strumming, i can see future in poly district now hahaha.....
we went to tea chapter in the afternoon, well only jasmine, nel, pearl, li yan and me... sheep mates gathering.. left qiu fang and jenny. spent 4 hours there haha had a great time indeed, we played some games and the funniest part was when we played the pictionary - a game of guessing drawings - i guess the only one who can draw is li yan, the rest of us hahah eeerrr better don't say... well good thing they didn't kick us out as we were laughing so loud at our own drawings -pai seh-
talked a lot of serious stuffs also, about future like marriage hahaha.. ambitions, church planting... and we shared some funny experiences.
tea chapter is a great place for relaxing indeed well at least for us... i know some people won't be able to sit there for 4 hours and drink tea hahah... and suddenly i want to learn 'wei qi' hmmm feeling very oriental today...
ended the day with dinner together again, seems that we spent the whole day meal from breakfast, lunch, tea time to dinner together hahah... am super full now. anyway it's a great day, know one another much better.
ok ppl one good news, we reached our end july goal of 650!!! yeah!! even though poly/DI didn't but nevertheless we've seen a lot of blessings in our district this month. tmw shall be a new day again, gotta go all the way.. NAFA, Informatics and Thames do our best in inviting and sowing! next sat y-hope live @ nexus gonna be great..

many people said that i looked happy today...hmmm didn't realize that... haha but it's a good thing rather than they said i looked grumpy. actually i only had one thing on my mind... tired.. especially during my last meeting tonight, but purposefully tired indeed =)
had an apologetics discussion class today, i gotta run from nexus to istana park than back to nexus again during the break before 1st service, missed most of the class haiz really a pity.. anyway it's a good way of learning, of how you researched your own topic.. i learned a great deal about evil in the world well cos that's the one i covered and the only topic that i heard in the class....
ministry fair was fun.. haha every ministry really did their best to promote, suddenly everyone's become like salesman. very impressed with the dance team, makes me wanna join also hahaha but that would be impossible man, 2 ministries are more than enough for me... glad to see many ppl joining ministry now, there's nothing better than to serve God.
well lastly wanna encourage my ppl... especially huimin... heard about some stuffs going on while i wasn't here, hmmm take it as a good lesson to learn, don't be discouraged of what seemed to be a failure, i'm sure you all have done your best, let's just do better next time!!
^_^
Deuteronomy 31:8
"The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."

ok time to update my blog... just came back from my home town in indonesia, didn't do much things there except for eating and relaxing, but i'm glad that i spent time with my parents together * extremely grateful for them *had a mixed feeling for the past few days, all kinds of thoughts.. all the good and the bad... positive and
negative... memories and future... but at the end it all just came back to one point.. that God is still good. He is indeed the one that always stand by me! it's your decision of how you're going to live your life, whether you want to be happy or sad, lead a joyful or depressed life, to smile or to frown... haha i remember i took this quiz before that said i'm a person who sees the world in pink, indeed with God i will always see the world in a bright way!
glad to share this with you.. it's a beautiful life...!!!

You represent... naivete
So innocent and trusting... you can be very shy at times, but it's only because you're not sure how to act. You give off that "I need to be protected vibe." Remember that not all people are good. Being too trusting will get you easily hurt.
What feeling do you represent?

Praise the lord!!! Today's wonderful day indeed, started with going down to my new office to apply for the employment pass, well tmw is the last day of my visa extension so I must either extend it again today or get ready to take a walk around jb tmw to extend another 2 weeks... then just realized that the immigration chopped "final" in my last extension...that means I can't stay here anymore, probability to extend my stay again is like 0.0001...aahhh...my boss even suggested me to go back to Indonesia for 7-10 days which is way out of question man....I think I was prepared to take a walk in jb tmw, but at the end I went to SIR and tried to extend my pass again, 0.0001 is not 0 and with god all things are possible....hahah...waited almost 4 hours for my boss there.... god really tested my patience today haha amazing I could wait there patiently....anyway when the officer said "final means u must go back Indonesia" I was like gonna faint liao....but at the end by GOD's miracle he gave me an extension again!!! Hahahah unbelievable...really god's work... at least I don't need to go around jb or even worse pack up my stuff to go back home tmw...still need to conduct cg tmw leh....
Hahaha anyway I think I kept smiling on my way back home...even at home when jun yao said my guitar strumming sounds super funny...it's ok.....
Had a fun dmm just now, planned some matthew cg out, gonna be very excited weeks coming up!
^_^
God will provide for us...put him first and obey him...and the rest will be given to us!

what a powerful day today..the prayer meet was really ministering, it was a great p&w...think i did improve --amen--
well the practice was a bit last minute actually and it was just so hard to focus with all the noises at istana park, totally not ok at the beginning, i could hardly remember the lyrics, zhi wei and pearline were not really sure bout the songs, must change all the chords and everything..
i think we were all a bit panicky there til pearl said the magic word -- "let's pray", then we just stopped everything and prayed...hmm... we were so totally into the practice til forgot the time, almost late for the dpm..well thank god we made it right on time at the end..
i guess it's true what my sis said before.. feelin nervous at the beginning but the moment you start praying and singing--it's just totally gone... amazing that i could remember all the lyrics--thank god-- and i think the mic really made a big difference, helped a lot....
anyway glad to see john came for the first time..i can see a breakthrough in my group!! and it was a very fun Q&A session with pastor jeff today hmm learned a lot..
>> thanks again pearl, zhi wei and also ray, will do even better next time if there's a chance!
^_^
What can we give that You have not given
And what do we have that is not already Yours
All we possess are these lives we're living
And that's what we give to You Lord
continue to love god ppl and always give thanks to him!!
