for the first time, finally i went down to shatec today!! fruitful trip... me, clarence and danny went down together to do some surveys, the school looks like a box according to danny hahah... when we reached there, the security chased us out (T_T) no survey inside the school.... so at the end we just stood outside the gate and hang around there...so hot...! did a lot of surveys and got to know some new friends, but the best thing is i can see how excited clarence and danny are! we ended the day in a full aircon and comfortable seats in coffee bean... now that's what i call fulfilling life!!!
hmm i can see there will be a feast every wed in our cg from now on, when danny passed by the ntuc today, he just went in and start thinking what to cook next next week (as next week will be our matthew yeah!), i think he's planning for some roast duck yummmmy.... anyway we're gonna see revival in shatec this month! monday shall go again!
***
for those out there struggling with your lives now do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
just did my spiritual gifts test again... realized that faith is my highest one. am so glad to be a child of faith, as i know that God is setting the way for me and i don't need to worry about it. things will work out well according to His plan... same goes with you and you... you'll find life much easier!
lastly...wanna pray for huimin, sheep... all the best for your exam tmw and get well soon k.. !

oh yeah cool.... Isumi!
Isumi - You're a pretty quiet person, but you still enjoy being out and around. You've got a small group of close friends who you'll do almost anything for. You connect well with people, surprisingly, but you're a little too formal and stiff when you're meeting them. You struggle with your emotions alot, which could be one reason you're always so quiet.

ppl i'm so sorry that i always do quizzes that you may not understand, well only manga and anime lovers will know this. anyway next week onwards we're going to have 40 days fasting also, i made up my mind already, my biggest challenge will be........ CHILLI!! yah i'm not going to eat chilli anymore... i don't know how i'm going to do it, it will need a lot of perseverance and miracles. i think i'll be really amazed by myself after this! hmm my second biggest challenge will be manga, but i think it's harder for me to survive without chilli.
oh long and tiring fruitful saturday, it's really great to serve God. just now after CLM we went to have supper as usual, they bought lots of sushi with a very cheap price and we all had a sushi buffet at mcd hahaha.... i think i'd better sleep now before i feel hungry again...

yap i'm back... heheh so great to be back, well at first i felt like i had lots of stories but then again i think don't have. i really slacked back home, spent most of my time in my cosy bedroom, never watched tv that much for long period. yah no one was at home, so besides talking to God and myself, tv was the only source of noise. now i really know why man can't live alone. but it's quite fruitful, did a lot of reading, there's a book "loving christ" where i've learned quite a great deal bout true loving Him. going to post it up in our polydi website!!
there was this one time i went out to have lunch, suddenly got 3 guys came bringing guitars and sang some songs (for money), my gosh... i was so amazed... they sang very very nice, they wore not so nice clothes, looked dirty and poor and their guitars were not expensive ones, but they sang like real pros... i think if i was a music director or something i'd have approached them to cut an album. it goes back again...never judge by appearances only!
my verse for last week:
Galatians 3:3
Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?

Passage Of The Day
2 Corinthians 11:23-28
I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again. Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false brothers. I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked. Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches
we won't suffer like how Paul did, so why complain and feel as if the world is not being fair to you? through suffering then we can have perseverance and one step closer to God, isn't it good to suffer for God?

Joke Of The Day
A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do. "Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?" The blonde said "How about 50 dollars?"
The man agreed and told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?" The man replied, "She should. She was standing on the porch."
A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money. "You're finished already?" he asked. "Yes," the blonde answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats." Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50. "And by the way," the blonde added, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."

Passage Of The Day
Hebrews 12:1-11
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons:
"My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline,
and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son."
Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live! Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
what is suffering? we're nothing compared to Jesus, why can't we fix our eyes on Him? All happened for His good purpose. when the door seems to be closed, there's always hope. i wanna have faith as strong as Abraham "Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God" amazing.....

had a great cg today, we cooked lots of well can food hahaa anyway it was really fun... i really enjoyed time of cg as we really shared our thougths and dreams together, all shall come to pass amen?for everyone out there who's busy with crazy project deadlines and exams, i'll pray for you BUT don't miss the activities together k and must still serve God!!! It's so good to be in the game!
Joke Of The Day
A woman went to the beach with her children. Her 4-yr-old son ran up to her, grabbed her hand, and led her to the shore where a dead sea gull lay in the sand. "Mommy, what happened to him?" the little boy asked. "He died and went to heaven," she replied.
The child thought for a moment and said, "And God threw him back down?"

Tuesday, October 07, 2003
just came back from prayer meet, powerful, God spoke to me hmm or better He reminded me...
* I really don't know how my future will be..
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
* Sometimes i feel scared and really worried, haiz even discouraged yes
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
* Can it really be done? Looks impossible to me....
Jesus replied, "What is impossible with men is possible with God."
* I feel like giving up on some people...
May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance
* Haiz... kind of tired...
Even youths grow tired and weary,and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength
hmmm... i shall never give up and let satan decrease my faith.....
So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me
oooohhh so refreshed! nothing can beat the word of God!
^_^
what a great time... today we started with a game led by sam, i think was really fun but i didn't join haiz never mind next time will.... then praise n worship! yeah this time it's me again and with my best partner pearline haha how many times already ~wondering~ anyway joel played very well also! and once again thanks to ray for preparing everything... i was just talking to pearl and we were sayin next time we should have bass player and even other instruments like tambourine also, she even said i can be the guitarist next month hahahah.... erm i think my skills not up to standard yet unless we're singing all fellowship songs with no bar-chords, "everyday" definitely out of question hahaha...
while we were praying for pearline to go Ireland, suddenly something showed in my mind, a scene of me, jasmine and some ppl in airport sending her off, then before she left she hugged me well squashed me actually hahaha.... anyway i do believe this will come to pass!

wah... wanna share a blessing hehe... i just got a tuition job, well actually just teaching nicole's younger sis and it's not permanent job that i'm lookin for but.. it's not bad overall especially i'm really super free lately. i went down today, at first feelin a bit nervous, kind of worried that i can't understand the subject also (which is maths) haha but it turned out well, at least i know how to explain to her (thank god). she said that throughout the whole tuition i kept saying the word "ok", especially when i'm trying to explain hahah never know i have that habit before. she's a bit like nicole i think, and she just asked me to play neopets online with her... haha quite fun....
last night was very funny, cos after meeting we went for supper again (yeah it has been our tradition), then yy showed us photos during family day for ordering, i took the longest time in choosing until they all wanna vomit blood haha cos there are some group photos that quite similar and i just couldn't make up my mind which one's the best.
today we had a good time of ddmm also, not just doing God's work and squeezing brain alone but also great fellowship together. what a blessing to be in the team, that we really share our woes and weals, real tears and laughters... if you're not involving yourself in a team to serve God more, you're missing a lot man...

oh feeling so happy now.... just got back meeting one of my people, we had a long talk about things going on around. glad to clarify some things, besides it's never good to keep your thoughts to yourself all the time, you'll be suffocated one day hmm that's why it's so good to have a spiritual covering~shepherd to account to. anyway people whatever we do, we must understand the value~ why are we doing what we're doing, not just following blindly, or you won't be able to hold on long. yup God has to be in the picture all the time....
Romans 14:7-8
For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone. If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord

Joke Of The Day
A man was leaving church one day. The Pastor was standing at the door (as he always is) to shake hands with members of the congregation. He grasped the man by the hand and pulled him aside. The Pastor said to him, 'You need to join the Army of the Lord!'
The man replied, 'I'm already in the Army of the Lord, Pastor.'
Pastor questioned, 'How come I don't see you except at Christmas and Easter?'
He whispered back, 'Shhhhhhhhh. I'm in the secret service.'

people please don't join secret forces.....
