hee... spent a great time with my dad yesterday, couldn't really remember the last time i could go out one whole day with him and shirls. anyway we had a great "sakae sushi" lunch and "pacific cafe's hot choc" tea-time plus "magic wok" dinner haha it seems that all got to do with food... anyway i do believe in spending quality time with family instead of quantity, i think we are all busy ppl, sometimes there's just no time for family, or for me even worse cos my parents not even here. but even though just going out together one day once in a while can be a great time spent too, we have to be balance in all areas, family too amen?
oh one thing that's funny... me and shirls went to this toilet at wheelock (borders) and to our amazement heee all the toilet cubicles have no door at all hahaha.... then shirls just said "wah...so open ah?" haha so funny, well since both of us not so liberal so we decided to find another toilet instead.... hmmm i wonder if this is some kind of trick from those candid camera...
feeling >> great... God has been faithful and He amazed me again today!
PS. for everybody out there.... I'm not BLUR!!! >_<

the passion of christ is coming! the tickets for this week are almost sold out... just checked the online booking, it's sold out everywhere... wah thank God for the poly group who got 88 tickets already today, accompanied liyan to collect them.. i think liyan has great responsibilty, can you imagine if she loses all the tickets??
anyway God really uses many ways to touch the ppl, he can even use mel gibson to make this movie, i can't wait to watch it... may many lives be saved through this! but one thing that i agree with jasmine, why must we wait to watch the movie to be touched and convinced? we should be convinced when we read the bible right? the movie is only a bridge to reach out to the pre-believers and maybe as a reminder for us... for those under 18 who cannot watch, don't be discouraged or sad, you can always take your bible out and read the gospel, they have the story details there ^_^
feeling>>> puzzled... i ate and ate and ate and ate.... and still feelin hungry.....

today i made a pact with God again, there will be nothing to bring me down and i will always speak God's truth to myself and others too! when you keep thinking and speaking negatively it will turn out negative too, it's all about your attitude, wanna see the things in a good way or bad way, how true indeed! in fact when you start thinking "die liao" or "impossible...." you are putting God down cos there's nothing God cannot do amen?
thank you Lord for everything.... and for all DI ppl, we all went thru lots of things together, thank God for all of you... will tell you more specifically when i see you all in our farewell ok haha.... anyway i learned lots of things since the day i took DI till now, i think you all have helped me to mature and grow in God, especially in patience hahaha.... oops... 0_o
this is not the end ok, it's just a beginning... DI will continue to grow and grow even more, give a loud amen for that!
^_^
meihwa.... give all my flocks to you liao... jia you!

Rain: You are the sound of rain. You have two important sides. There is your strong, powerful side and your calm, gentle side. Both are very important. Rain also reflects a bit of darkness in your personality. It isn't bad, just shows that along with the good, you also can see bad, which can come in handy.
What Sound Are You?(now w/ pics)

sounds chim....nevermind.....

were you there last easter? when shirls sang the powerful song "when God ran"? last night she just let me listen to another easter killer song... this song most prob will be sung this upcoming easter... my tears almost dropped when i listened to it, what a meaningful song indeed... it made me think again and again about the greatness of God's love. i could really picture how Jesus went to the cross for us. not mentioning the passion of christ that's coming up really soon, this easter is gonna be a big revival amen? not just for prebelievers to accept Christ but i'd say also for believers- you and me, to be reminded once again...
listening >> the song....
feeling >>> blessed.. and overwhelmed

really amusing, i feel like laughing really hahahah.... ok i'm crapping.. anyway there are some thoughts in my mind now...
people without God are really unhappy ppl, they may seem to be able to have fun too, lead a good life etc etc but when bad things or things just don't work out as how they want it to be, they'll complain, blame others, angry, try to vent their frustrations with many ways. their heart cannot be at peace, life not consistent. hmm can't blame them really, cos God's not in their hearts. i really pray that they see the importance of God one day. i'm not talking about bad ppl here, even some ppl who are close with us, maybe dearest to us. not forgetting believers too, yah even you and me...
jasmine taught me once before that really changed my perspective of seeing ppl. you know it's easy to give comments and criticize others from outside. best example is when we keep saying a particular soccer player on tv is lousy or whatever, but yet we can't even hold a candle if we really play against them. sometimes we keep looking at others' flaws and comment about it, not understanding why can't they do the same as what i'm doing now bla bla bla, but bible says that we have to be patient to those who are weaker in spirit, well when we keep thinking about others' weaknesses we are actually thinking that we are good. proud.. that's the word. it's so dangerous especially when you are a leader... sometimes realizing it or not, we tend to do that... i guess only God can help us to always see the goodness of ppl, but first things first it's good to look at the mirror first, yah look at yourself, we all still have a long way to go before start talking and thinking the worst of others...
oh i got a new cg member for my soft toys collection haha... yap it's a rabbit in a blue dress, named it "faith", cos i wanna remember the moment that i have to grow my faith in God, nothing is impossible in Him! well she can be a good companion for my reuben, simeone, levi, milky, asher, lupin, judy and benny.. geez the cg has grown so big indeed haha... maybe it can be a size of a unit soon ^_^
finally it's here... ppl let's do our best this week ok, i don't believe we can't hit 15! come on we can grow faster than my soft toys cg... 0_o ... did i just type that? anyway yes i'm serious...
this week is really gonna be my last, i'm all set and ready for the new challenge that God has given me. i will miss a lot of things definitely but man lives to move forward not to look behind the past amen? thank God for jasmine for the past 10 months for being such a great shepherd and mentor, learned a great deal from her indeed =)
PS. erm just to clarify something especially to those who attended the poly clm last sat... i'm not going to family group and i'm not in courtship with sam, not ben too... hahahahah.....

wah i'm a craB... today was so fun, the H2O was here again! i always like it when we have water bap, especially today with so many ppl going, it was really a great sight, how ppl declared publicly their love and commitment to God! woke up early for ushers training meeting this morning, so excited for it, i think we're gonna have great time of training and steamboat together hehehe... wait for the day - sunday 21st k!
then i think i amazed everybody with my appetite today, been eating quite non-stop at east coast. H20 was crowded... erm thanks to justin, jeremy and joe.. i fell down from my rope seat for 3 times haha (it proves that i never learned my lesson) anyway they were very funny, playing see-saw with me. but going to east coast will never be complete without kayaking haha.... i love kayaking... went with tp ppl, the tide was so high today, my arm's breakin trying hard to row against the wind and tide wah nuts, almost capsized for 2-3 times, thank God i could still keep my body on it. abel and jon wong's kayak capsized and apparently i was the only one near them. gave me quite a shock, tried to help them but erm seems that my kayak's not really moving forward. they were quite cool though haha at least abel was, holding to their kayak and just shouted help help... sigh... thank God there were these 3 strangers who came and help... the journey back to the coast was the hardest part.. it took me forever, felt so heavy..... next time shouldn't play when the tide's high, quite dangerous hmm...
anyway quite expected, feelin very tired now.. thank God for sam for the red-bull (is it red-bull?) anyway that kept me awake during meeting just now.. and thank God for eva for passing me hq key, or else i'd have to wait for my cousin and shirls finished watching movie before i could go home... tmw's gonna be a day with whole body aching but nevermind.. i'm a happy craB haha....

third thought >> charlene has grown much stronger indeed ^_^
fourth thought >> why am i having ushers meetin early in the morning tmw, cannot wake up late again...
