sleepy...sleepy...sleepy... but what a fulfilling day we had!! let's start with yesterday..
we had 2 converts from informatics clap clap clap hahah great job everyone especially cheng2, even though we didn't reach our end sept goal but God is still working greatly in our group..
wanna affirm the dance team, they worked really hard for the less than 5 min dance, it was great and mei hua got a big blue-bag for it (is this how u spell it?), anyway when u're serving God, it worths the pain.
at night we had quarterly planning retreat at tp hq, mei hua will be joining us from now on yeah clap clap... i think i was the joker last night haha cos i was very tired so when we started to do evaluation and planning at 10, i started to struggle with my sleepiness also, time seemed to pass extremely slow... i tied my hair in a very funny way that they kept laughing at me and the biggest joke came when the meeting was approaching the 4th hour, i lost half of my consciousness already, i think my eyes kept rolling and rolling struggling to keep it wide open, jenny sat right opposite me and she kept laughin, cos i was wearing a t-shirt with this design of a face with a very sleepy look in the eyes hahah and they were saying that i looked exactly like the t-shirt. even though i felt like i was in the dream land but i could still hear what we're talking about and even gave some ideas and contributions which i think jasmine was amazed by my ability of sleeping yet awake. haiz... next time should buy coffee really.. or i think overnight meeting was not a very good idea indeed hahah....
slept only for few hours then in the morning we went to east coast together, it's water baptism again and this time is germaine... yeah at last the day has come girl, glad u made this decision. and as for huimin.. cl at last yeah clap clap once again... lastly we went to combined team meeting, thought that we're late so all of us really ran from the bus stop to nexus... wah thank God reached on time. one thing that pastor ben said we have to expect problems and overcome it.. hmm true without problems there won't be miracles.
last quarter we had so many things happened and so many things to thank God, both personal and group growth, for next quarter we're gonna work even harder ok, and get ready for christmas!! oh so excited... the key is only one..continue on to love God..that's it!
^_^
feeling >> celebrative, tired, joyful, sleepy, excited... wow rojak...

"Still"
Words and Music by Reuben Morgan
Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me
within your mighty hand
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are god
Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust
powerful song.... be still in God!

just came back from cg, we went to watch movie together haha it's funny but i think this is the first time i watch movie with some of my ppl. actually we wanted to go to k-box but so expensive man.. then we played arcade well i was the lousiest of all in car racing... anyway it was enjoyable though the movie not that great but it's the time we spent together that matters. yi cheng and xiao feng were there, haven't seen them for quite a long time, still same like usual =)
well i heard a backslider said before that "Hope" has too many activities- almost everyday and that's one of the reason the person left... i'd say that thank God we have so many things to do in Hope... no greater joy than leading a purposeful life with all your bros in sis, at least than throwing your lives away in doing things that at the end will turn to nothing... aren't you glad you can do lots of things for Him?
"Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people"

aren't you amazed sometimes how God works in ppl's heart? well today i saw God's wonders once again, when you want your ppl to change and grow in some areas, God just somehow helped you even when things seem to be impossible... --feeling so happy and grateful to Him--
today after ddmm once again we relaxed in sp hq and played the throwing bombs game like previous week and this time i've learned how to use tricks to hide from the others hahaha and after a very long and tight competition i won the game hahahaha but didn't play with sam, next time must make sure i can beat him too!! i think it's really great to have fellowship after meeting, and one fave thing that me and liyan always do right after the meeting ends is to grab a guitar each and play haha.... and today we had a Q&A sessions, cleared up some questions in my mind... boy i love meetings!!

God asked us to hold on to His cross until he comes back. Despite all the temptations- friends, having fun... even when the storm comes and blows us away from the cross, we still remember our promise to God and crawl back to the cross, hang on to it. It may seem a very long waiting but God will eventually come back for us with His arms wide open receiving us...
what a meaningful story in the mm clip during holy comm in today's service. when i saw it for the first time during rehearsal, i teared... how many ppl around us includin me can really hold on to the cross til He comes back? and it reminded me once again that God will always receive us back as long as you're willing... His arms always opened for us...
i didn't dare to see the clip again during the two services, cos i know that i will cry and i don't think that's a very good idea as i still need to go up to the stage and do my duty haha.... anyway it's really a food of thought....
***
somethin funny happened today, well pearline tried to block my way (jokingly) after the ss when i was walkin, then i tripped over myself and fell down to the floor hahah she was so shocked cos she thought i fell because of her and i just kept laughin and laughin and assured her that yes it was my own mistake... haha i think i always tripped over in nexus, so pls don't be surprised if u see me fall down again....

Joke Of The Day
After a ship sank in the ocean, three men ended up stranded in a lifeboat. They floated around for days without food or water. One afternoon a bottle floated up to the boat. The men grabbed the bottle and when they pulled the cork out of the bottle, a genie appeared.
"I'll grant each of you a single wish," said the genie. "I wish I was home," said the first man. Then,poof! He disappeared.
"I wish I was home, too," said the second man. Poof! He disappeared.
"The third man looked around. "Gee, I'm kind of lonely," he said. "I wish my friends were here with me."

had a great dinner last night during cg, germs brought a lot of home cook dishes (cooked by her maid hehe). it's amazing to see someone's growing step by step, am so happy to see one of my new believer shirlyn started to evax and involved in serving God, how we can see her desire to know God even more. there's no greater joy when you see someone's life changed and get closer and closer to God =)

and here's where the amazingness of God came again, jasmine suggested to lay hands on it. and on mon night (after ulc) when i saw dewen tryin hard to fix the pc, suddenly it just occured to me "let's do the supernatural thing, pray for the pc, lay hands on it" so i just did, and immediately right after that, THE PC WAS ON!!! o_0 all of us were like amazed man.... hahaha anyway yes it's working well now. as for the broadband side, it turned out that it was spoilt, have exchanged it with a new one now, and here i am back in blogging.

wah what a tiring day.... walked a lot (with high heels some more)... anyway we had our international mooncake festival at SP HQ today, quite a lot of ppl turned up... dominated by visitors from china. there were lots of food man... and i mean really a lot..... i prepared 4 dishes (supposed to be indonesian food)-- beef rendang, perkedel (potato), kangkong and tahu goreng haha bought it though cos you know err i can only cook indonesian instant noodles.... i think all the food prepared were nyummy, i kept adding to my plate and i think i was one of the person who ate the most there....
it was really really fun, especially when we played scissors paper stone in a modified chinese version with action, pearline was so comical...had a really good laugh. then we went down to the park and played games yeah! basically the game was to blow other team's candles and burn their rope. there were 3 teams: orange, blue and purple. i was in blue and we won hahaha.... after that we just relaxed down and talked, sang songs... it was amazing to see so many colourful lanterns lighted up... very beautiful...
anyway it was a great way to get to know one another, even to other group's visitors or new believers. enjoyed the day a lot.. and i know God has made a way for us to connect a lot of ppl through this event...
feeling >> extremely full... and i just had some ice cream also... hehe

Joke of the Day
A man flew to Florida and checked into a motel to await his wife who would be meeting him the next day after a business trip. At the motel he decided to send his wife an e-mail from his lap-top computer. While entering her address he typed one letter wrong and his note was directed, instead, to an elderly preacher's wife whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the message, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint. Her family heard the noise and rushed into the room to find her on the floor and this note on the screen:
Dearest Wife, Just got checked in. Everything is prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
Signed,
Your eternally loving husband.
P.S. Sure is hot down here!

ok i'm back.... hehe kind of miss my pc. hmm nice hoilday trip back, ate a lot... my parents have been feedin me and shirls with lots and lots of food... all chilli stuffs of course hehe.... it's a good time rest... i went back right after the family day on sunday so can you imagine my mom's reaction when she saw me with a total sunburn on my face and my whole body suddenly became double darker than usual hahaha it was so obvious.... guess that's the price u have to pay from the event, and the yellow stripe that we put on our nose...turned out to be a sun block, so my nose got one stripe as the rest was like as red as a crab.
i think everybody's blog has been puttin this for the past few days but anyway i still wanna share bout our first family day... awesome man, i think nobody left the place in not happy feelin... the whole thing really made all of us more bonded. especially for us the poly group (and yes we're yellow!) the night before that all the cls and clas stayed overnight at tp hq, we spent the whole night drinking coke hahahah as we need the bottles for cheerin... good thing we didn't get diarrhoea because of that.... we practised the cheerin at the bus stop hahhaa and we all reached the stadium earlier to practise together. quite amazed how all of us didn't feel tired at all with so little sleepin time...
i think we all really did our best in every games, but most important was all of us really united... we turned out to be quite strong hahah anyway northeast won the championship, happy for them... and we won the cheering competition!!! well we did put lots of effort for it, till yy's pail crashed into smithereens (sorry for you yy)
we celebrated pastor jeff bday also.. haha i still remember how we celebrated his bday last year at nexus with all the performances. really blessed by him all along and it's a great vision to see youth service in the stadium one day..!! isn't it great to be with God and all God's people together, not just having fun but really building life together....

CLICK ME....! try this people.... a smile guarantee!

wanna share some of my thoughts today. that day i went to the clc1 class at sp hq to host and lead the worhip, priscilla was teaching the poly group. quite amazed when i heard the teaching all over again after almost 2 years, lots of basic things that we tend to forget:
SUBMISSION AND ACCOUNTABILITY to God, to spiritual leaders. How to be a good armor-bearer, put leader's priority as top, always pick up their calls and reply their messages immediately, never late for meeting, accept them for who they are and respect them. teachable-available-faithful... so simple yet powerful lesson.
At district prayer meet we learned bout "Lord is my shepherd", it's a great blessing that we are all under spiritual covering in the church, when i think back of how my shepherds (from josh, jaslin to jasmine) have blessed me and guided me, from the encouragements to all kinds of corrections throughout the years, wah can't describe man...i guess one sentence... ahem ^_^ " I Love You Shepherd!" haha...
This month is "shepherds' month" people, be the best shepherd and sheep that you can be!
"The best gift that you can give to your leaders is to take care of your own spiritual life well"
