my heart felt heavy the moment i stepped out of the childcare centre. it was my last day working part time there and i'm beginning to miss the kids a lot now. i think it's really one of the rare job that i felt sad leaving.
when sean's dad came to pick him up, i was like.. oh noo.. he's going home (T_T) i waved at him.. he was skipping happily and as usual calling me miss wee-wee... sigh.. it's funny but i love that 4 yrs old boy. there's this girl called yi teng who loved to climb on me.. she's such a dear. there will be no end to it if i want to name the kids one by one, in short i do love them.
as i was walking home, i said a prayer to God.. let all the kids be well. i wonder if i can meet any of them again one day when they've grown up. they won't remember me for sure.

so from tmw onwards, i'm officially stationed at home again. actually there are many things that can be done at home and somehow it's good to have the time now. of course it shouldn't be for long, i need income after all. besides looking for job, i'm planning to spend more time in personal devotion, brushing up my guitar skill will be a good one.. i have a few songs in mind, well maybe it's time for spring cleaning as well.

i accompanied siewling to membership class last nite. our church has really grown and the class was definitely different from last time (except for the teaching). it was conducted at ywca, the place was comfy and surprisingly the buffet dinner was really nice.. me and siewling were very surprised.
i didn't find it boring sitting there listening to all the basic membership teaching once again, in fact it was a good reminder. what it means to be a member in local church, in hope.
there's nothing to be proud of for being a leader, whatever L you are or you were. eventually we are all servants, we should be willing to do all the dirty jobs whenever needed. the truth is there's no such thing called dirty job if it's for Jesus.
pride? how easy it is for ppl to fall on this due to accomplishment in church. ironic.
i'm not saying that we shouldn't be a leader, don't get me wrong.. it's good to lead if you can lead. nothing can be done if there's no one willing to take the leadership role, just gotta remember that it's not for own self gain.

i was reading bao's blog where he affirmed me for being such a faithful blogger haha actually i don't think it's an affirmation. anyway, it made me realize that i do have a long archive and it would take me hours or days to read up everything again if i want to. it's interesting to check my own past entries, sometimes it's just a good reminder. if i want to make it a book as what he said- 'memoirs of livi', then i'd better make sure my life is more exciting and fruitful.
12 years of penning down (and typing) my daily lives.. from dear diary to dear all.. i am a sentimental person indeed.

hrmm maybe start from yesterday. it was a very packed day, i went to the plaza again for interview, i just can't believe how i came back to that place again after one big round. it's practically only 8 storeys above my old office, entegra. i saw my ex-colleague while waiting for the lift, it's just funny.

i made a trip down to MOM after that, i have to admit that i hate that building the most second to ICA. i think those who know me long enough would understand why.
after cancelling my pass and everything, i was very surprised to meet lily there, she's an ex-colleague from esco. i found out that she has quit from that crazy company as well. we ended up having lunch together and trying to catch up with one another, she told me lots of stories and her frustration that resulted her in quitting the job. i could definitely identify with her since i've been there.
i just don't understand what makes that boss so unreasonably mad, can God open his eyes one day? i pray that one day they will. i don't hate him, but seriously, it was one of our best decision to leave that company.
anyway i'm glad that through this i am one step closer to lily. will try to keep in touch with her cos i know that she needs God as well...

our unit is launching a new operation, basically to get to know more ppl so that we can reach out to them. it made me think again that i don't have many outside friends. i need to start afresh, i can start with my ex-colleagues and God has opened a way yesterday for me.
btw we had a great unit cg last nite, enjoyed the bible quiz a lot =)
i kept on coughing though and mei lectured me for that.. no chilli.. go doctor.. sleep early.. lolx.. she's like my mum.

it's another fruitful day today. went to see the dance at 2nd ss with susi, suddenly i miss the loudness and darkness of youth ss. we had indonesian lunch with roy n hendra before that, apparently roy wanted to unite the indonesians.

lastly, i made my way down to pasir ris for media retreat. most of them are from wam media cg so at first i felt kinda weird being there surrounded and bombarded with questions lolx but they are nice ppl and we actually had quite a good time eating and playing games, not to mention the teaching.
revisit myself.. why am i in this ministry and how much am i going to give myself to God?

***

sometimes we amuse ourselves with a funny conversation.. this started with me not understanding the army life.

keep walking says:
i can never understand.. oh well..

[G.V.O.]© Gm7 in the F key says:
haha it's ok
i understand that u dont understand

keep walking says:
yah it's ok

[G.V.O.]© Gm7 in the F key says:
u understand that i understand that u dont understand?

keep walking says:
just like guys won't understand how we are in pain every month hahaaa

[G.V.O.]© Gm7 in the F key says:
yea good
then i understand that u understand that i understand that u dont understand

keep walking says:
so i understand that u understand that i don't understand just like i understand that you don't understand

[G.V.O.]© Gm7 in the F key says:
yup excellent

keep walking says:
hahaa

[G.V.O.]© Gm7 in the F key says:
hahahahaha

i think we are silly. lolx.
speaking about being silly, i had an amusing thought as i was listening to a song on my way home just now, most guys that i admire are those who can play acoustic and sing very well at the same time. they can melt me faster, for example KC hahahaha.... oops i mean brewster, baloche.. i love acoustic a lot and there's something about guys with good voice especially when it's anointed by God. you can feel it. ok i'm biased.

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university lecturer. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each other's cups."

"Now, if Life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."
So folks, don't let the cups drive you... enjoy the coffee instead :)

not that i want to comment on singapore idol every week but i feel like putting my thought down again. was watching it today and i wonder if the idols knew that there are other jazz singers besides michael buble. anyway nvm.. i hope that hady and mathilda can be in final, then it will make sense.

enough about it, it was a very frustrating day taking care of primary students. they're definitely not cute and somehow God knew how to test my patience through them. i found myself yelling a lot and at the end of the day i just lost my voice. i know that i have turned very fierce at certain moments but i think those were still not enough.. definitely far behind the other teachers' fierceness.
not to mention that my flu and cough are killing me, i started to regret of not taking medicine earlier, now it has come to a point that no medicine can cure me (according to the pharmacist) and i have to go for a real doctor. sigh. a man just cannot be too stubborn.

will be enjoying home alone for the next few weeks as shirls just left to italy.. i hope she will meet buffon there and maybe can bring a photo back hahaaa ok wishful thinking.. anyway i believe that i will go there one day as well, it will be more fantastic if i can drop by at greece too. i should really save up for it.

just a bit of announcement again, next week (4-6 aug) -FOP- don moen and CCC. i know i'm considered an old folk cos i am more interested in this compared to the planetshakers concert on the next week after that (11-12 aug).. haha.. anyway i have a feeling that planetshakers wanna promote their new album 'pick it up' but i have it already thanks to pearline. to tell you the truth, it was not as nice as the predecessors but maybe i have to listen to it more, gotta give more chance. and perhaps i may go to their concert as well.. yah why not.. *still considering*

i am coughing too much and my brain is scattering.
it is now the time that i have to put my trust fully in God once again. i gotta find a job real soon and re-apply my pass real soon.. i think i have been complaining too much, slacking too much, prioritizing wrong things too many times and taking too many things for granted. the real question is am i going to do something about it.
ask and it will be given. then Lord, i wanna ask.

before the day slips away, i wanna stop and say i love You...

i am very happy today, just received a bday gift from pearline.. haha.. i know that she's almost 6 months late considering that my bday's on feb, nevertheless, she still made my day. didn't expect her to get me somethin all the way from melbourne. she's been gone that long, really kinda miss her. well at least i know that she's doing great for God over there as well =)

did mm with simon today, felt very relaxed.. maybe cos the room was empty so we had more air to breathe. anyway he mentioned that first ss is like a rehearsal (trying out), second ss is the actual thing (understood the flow fully and thus make no mistakes). that's kinda sad but somehow he's right.
this applies to many things, we just got to try hard to make our first attempt successful as well.. or else it would be unfair to the first ss ppl rite?

***

O Lord my God, when I, in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hand hath made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy pow'r throughout the universe displayed

And when I think that God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin

When Christ shall come, with shouts of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim, "My God, how great You are!"

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

now i'm coughing, feelin so stupid. one disease after another lolx.

days are practically flying over me recently. i really enjoy working in the childcare, though i know i cannot be biased but i do have more love for certain kids. those who don't cry, those who are smart and those who are just simply adorable. there's a boy called ethan (3 yrs old) who is always hungry, he's my fave.. maybe cos he's so like me.
some of the kids are having problem in calling my name, in fact they prefer to call me 'teacher'. there's another boy called sean who likes to call me 'miss weewee' ... oh well, i guess sometimes livi may sound like weewee.. hahaa...

speaking about resemblance, i realized that someone resembles me a lot in many ways (except looks) but he is wiser in many ways as well. sometimes it can be frustrating when you talk to someone and you know that the person is making so much sense that you just have to agree with the person. anyway i did some thinking and i came to a conclusion that it's better not to think. i'll wait and see how the things will turn out as everything will fall to the right places eventually.

today we had a district sports day. in short, it was quite fun and i got to see more on the same district ppl as well. we got second place overall but we won the cheering section. didn't see the morning badminton due to my headache (couldn't wake up) but i heard it was very happening, a big clap for shufen =)
we got kicked out in pool section quite early but we had a very tight and exciting bowling match after that. i was quite amazed with certain ppl who really came prepared. they brought their own personal cue stick, gloves, etc for the competition.

me and susi went for a date after that. she is just so funny. anyway we ended up talking about how life can be so boring and things that can spice it up. how would it feel to be a non believer and what would we be doing now if we are. sounds serious but actually we were crapping and joking hahaha.. we came out with funny funny things.
oh well, nothing can beat life with God. He's the only one who doesn't fail me after all.

listening >> rescue - desperation
i will follow You. this world has nothing for me.

i am utterly amused.
staying at home on wed nite and i decided to give a shot on singapore idol. the show has just ended. let me share a few things in my mind...

first. it didn't take long before i got really irritated with the audience. they screamed and screamed and screamed.. which can be good if only they know how to control but alas they don't.. i could hardly hear gurmit and the contestants. gosh.. there's a time for everything, including screaming.

second. gotta give credits to some of the contestants. i actually think that some of them (i won't mention names) can really sing and entertaining as well, but of course there are a few others who can't sing for nuts, i'm amazed that they can still be in the competition, some of our church singers can do better. oh well maybe i sound too mean, i will give credits for their courage and hard work then.

third. i hope the judges can give more logical comments. i think i am only interested in what ken says.

it is understandable since spore is such a small country that it is hard to find more ppl who can sing and willing to join the competition.
overall, it is an entertaining program.. however, i do hope american idol can be back soon...

listening >> with or without you - U2
i need to start on my prac again.

Ten ways to worship without music
by Tobin Perry

As you'll discover, worship through music is only a portion of what true, biblical worship is all about.
Worship is the process of surrendering your entire life into God's hands. Everything you do can - and should -- be an act of worship.
God designed us to worship Him with our whole lives, and there are actually spiritual habits that we can build into our lives that help us worship God more deeply.

Here are ten habits than will build worship into your life on a daily basis.

1. Worship through prayer.
We often miss this important component of our prayer life. Think about the issues you usually pray about. How much of your prayer life is about you and how much of it is about God? Without a doubt God wants us to be able to share everything that is going on in our life. But he also wants us to get to know Him better. When we affirm who God is through our prayers, we put our prayer life in proper perspective. That's exactly how Jesus taught us to pray. Look at the Lord's Prayer in the Gospel of Mathew (6: 9-13); Jesus starts the prayer off by saying "Our Father who is in Heaven, May Your name be honored." (NLT) Jesus teaches us an important lesson with this prayer. Prayer starts with God. Consider including in your prayers a time of focused attention on who God is.

2. Get in a regular habit of reading the Bible.
The Bible says that we worship God in "spirit and in truth." How can we ever worship God without a clear understanding of who He is? The truth about God is essential to worship. Pay special attention to the book of Psalms. No book in the Bible spends as much time carefully describing who God is.

3. Obey God.
Rick Warren mentions in The Purpose Driven Life that we worship God when we obey Him. We all need to build the habit of obedience into our lives. Take practical steps to see that this is a part of your life. Whenever you sense God is speaking to you, make it a regular practice to respond immediately. Don't let procrastination weigh you down. If you can't do it immediately, write down whatever God has been putting on your heart, so that you can do it SOON!

4. Tithe.
If you want to know what in your life you worship, look at your checkbook register. The Bible teaches us this important lesson: "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (Mathew 6:21 NIV) God wants us to surrender our entire being to Him. One way to show that is by making Him Lord of our pocketbook. If you are already a committed tither, consider raising the percentage you are willing to give.

5. Build deep relationships with other Christians.
The Bible teaches that God designed us to live in community with other Christians. We bring God pleasure by getting to know others and being known by them. The primary way we do this is through small groups.

6. Share your faith.
God wants every person on the planet to worship him, not because He is an egomaniac who needs our praise, but because worship is how we are designed by God. Take time this week to share your spiritual journey with someone else. Tell them how you came to faith in Christ. Don't worry about their response. Relax in the knowledge that you are playing a part in expanding God's world-wide worship.

7. Serve others.
Jesus tells us that "when you did it to the least of these my brothers and sisters, you did to me!" (Matt. 25:40 NLT) When we serve one another, Jesus tells us we are really serving Him. If you don't think you have any gifts that are useful to serve, you are wrong. God made you with talents and gifts that He specifically gave you to serve others.

8. Build into your life the attitude of thankfulness.
This requires looking at the world through a different set of eyes. When we look through the lens of thankfulness, we see our lives - and everything in it - as all gifts from God. Develop your own spiritual exercise each morning that demonstrates that you are putting on your lens of thankfulness. Then begin to thank God for all of the good things in your life.

9. Begin turning over to God areas of your life that you have never committed to Him.
This is the heart of worship - surrender. God won't settle for 90 percent of your life; He wants all of it. You might have been a follower of Jesus for years, but you still have areas of your life that you are holding back from Him. What are those areas? Only you know that. Two good places to look are your checkbook and your planner. Look at the areas of your life where you spend the most money and the most time. Do they honor God?

10. Live a life of purpose.
God has a reason for your existence. In fact, He has five: fellowship, discipleship, ministry, evangelism and worship. You please God when you live in step with His purposes. God doesn't want you to waste your life.
You were designed for God's pleasure. The purpose of worship is the foundation of the other four purposes. Fellowship without the spirit of worship is just "hanging out." Discipleship without worship is nothing but a fruitless mental exercise. Ministry without worship is called "spinning your wheels." Evangelism without worship is a misplaced sales pitch.

Worship isn't simply one area of your life; it is your life. Start right this moment by surrendering your life to God. Then spend the rest of your life learning to worship Him more fully.

if you're wondering where i've been for the past one week, well.. i was in chang jin's land.
i paid a big price for it. after more than 60 hours glued to my pc (with lots of breaks in between of course), i caught a bad flu and fever.. so.. oh well.. anyway i am still recuperating now.
nic said i deserved it. perhaps. lolx.

let's see... siewling was baptised last sun, so glad for her.

oh, shirls brought home passion 06 album. some of the songs are actually really nice. kinda addicted to 'i stand amazed (how marvelous)' and 'everything glorious'
will listen to it more to discover further.

listening >> everything glorious - david crowder band

You make everything glorious
And I am Yours
What does that make me?

it is finished. we all can sleep now.

i woke up with a very painful red left eye on sun morning, could hardly open it and just gotta endure it through out the ss. went home straight after that to sleep, nic sms me in the late afternoon checking if i was feeling better and whether i'd still want to watch the final with an eye like that. i replied her straight "ya of course, it's final and it's italy, even blind also must watch" =p
so i rested n rested and by God's grace, it was kinda healed the moment the match started.

italy won, we know this. let me say a few words in fairness.

the match started with italy playing better in first half. penalty was given to france and i thought to myself that it would be really stupid if france won just by that. italy scored for equalizer not long after that and the game back to how it started.
france played better in second half. they were fierce. there were many shots on goal and you just have to admit that france does have the quality to become champion. too bad for them, azzurri's cannavaro is one of the best defender you could ever find, thus no goal was scored.

match was dragged to extra time (OT) and somehow the memories of euro 2000 kept coming back to me, especially after substitutions were made where trezeguet and wiltord brought into the field.. these two scored the equalizer and golden goal in 2000.
no goals though and buffon made one very good safe, he is just fantastic.

i was very much saddened with zidane being sent off due to the head-butt. it's just so foolish of him. think again calmly somehow i do believe that maybe he's being provoked BUT as a world class player, you gotta keep your head cool as long as you are on the field. this is a basic knowledge, especially in such an important match.
a moment of anger resulted a life time shame, just not worth it. nevertheless rather than remembering his mistake, we should remember him as a brilliant player cos he really is.

match was brought into penalty kick shoot out and i found myself pacing up and down in my room. the moment italy scored the 5th goal and thus winning the worldcup, i just broke down and cried. i cried and cried and cried, the happiness was beyond words. i think i am really mad, who on earth would cry for a soccer team? me.
i don't even cry for friends, i guess that shows how fanatic i am.
italy is my one and only team since ages ago and it will remain forever no matter how good and bad they will be, even if they all shave their head bald, even if all the players retired and replaced by new ones. i never jump ship and i'm proud for it.

just to clarify somethin, i hope everyone can remember that this is soccer we're talking about, not ping-pong competition.
in soccer, clashes and fouls happen all the time as 22 players are fighting only for one ball. i understand that sometimes we may feel that a match is not fair whenever a card is shown, a penalty or free kick is awarded or not, a player sent off etc etc, but referee is absolute and we all have to swallow it. this is how the game played.
remember maradona's hand of God in 1986? (all soccer freaks should know this) lolx.

besides how do you determine whether it is fair or not, sometimes it's your own judgmental mind. things may not be as what you see. ppl are entitled to comment and judge but you just cannot be a sore loser.
france played well. italy played well as well. both are champions but it was just not meant for france last nite.

azzurri, you've done me proud.

it's a bit hard to blog after that one. lolx.
anyway i was not angry with anyone, just trying to make my thoughts and feelings known.
it's going to be a good final on mon, as long as euro 2000 tragedy won't happen again. i always remember how france scored that goal one minute before the match ended and thus shattered azzurri's dream with the traumatizing golden goal, i cried myself to sleep that nite (real story).
it's been 6 years since then and here we are again against france.. exciting man.. i do hope zidane will shine.

ok enough about soccer. i just came back from nexus, dear sister of mine was sick and i had to be her personal attendant for a while. i'd have to say that the youth band is good and their 'from the inside out' was great. i think it's really great to have a male worship leader and daniel does deliver. they will surely go far.
shirls asked if i miss leading team hope, i don't think i do, but i do miss greeting ppl. yeah i think i haven't been maximising my smile recently. seeing the youth ss more or less brought back some good memories and i'm glad for them. they can break 1000!! =)

just a recap, we celebrated nic's bday early last thu. it's amusing how we managed to hide it from her, required lots of acting from some of us. anyway it was a good time together as a cg, i always love it when we sit at a round dining table, it's a feeling of a family.
after the dinner, i went to meet reagan and the rest for supper as he's enlisting on the next day. it's finally time for him to experience NS haha.. a changed man he shall be.

A thousand times I've failed
Still Your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
I'm caught in Your grace

Everlasting.. Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending.. Your glory goes beyond all fame

Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself
In bringing You praise

In my heart and my soul
Lord I give You control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love you from the inside out

And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out Lord my soul cries out

i cannot take this, i have to clarify.

which eyes of yours think that italy's win is a cheat and undeserving?? any offiside? any foul? any proof from any video? were you actually watching??
even espn, soccernet and newspapers (a real decent one) think that italy won brilliantly. the goals were clearly official and beautiful.
who are you to think differently?

you wanna talk about diving or pretending?? look at michael ballack first. he's the king! he dived more than anyone else on the field. i can't believe how you can distort the truth.. germany played more dirty ok. yeah i'm talking about all of you who are sore losers.

may the best team win, this is sportsmanship.

italy may not be the best of all, but no one can say that germany played better last nite, because italy attacked more, defended better and had beautiful goals, it was a deserving win and no one should complain about it. you can check from the match stats and try to open your eyes and your mind more.
if other teams play better, i will accept it. we have to be objective and fair.
note: i hope france can win tonite and if they do and play well in final, i'd be happy for them.
clearly there are lots of ppl blinded just by the fact that germany lost and threw stupid comments after the match. it is so sad when you cannot accept a defeat. you have no idea what you're talkin about, so stop your nonsense. you should be ashamed of yourself.

i'm not sorry if i offend ppl thru this. i am making my stand here. don't think that you can bully me and my team.

*livi* 9:09 PM

Oh my gosh.. oh my gosh.. i can't sleep.. my azzurri won!!! hahahhahahahaaaaa...
it seems like the whole world was on germany's side, hours before the match, i could see everybody's msn nickname turned to germany supporters and looking down on italy.. honestly i myself didn't even have 100% confidence that we would win, but we did!! wahahahahaa.... i'm so totally basking in victory now...
this is just awesome.

ok let me do a little bit of recap... a few funny things happened today (or yesterday). i went to the childcare centre again to help out, really getting used to it. on my way there, as i was walking and on my earphone listening to hillsong london happily, there's this one guy who suddenly stood beside me and started to say somethin. so i took off my earphone and asked him "sorry, did you say something?"
then he said "my name is jimmy (i think), can i get to know you?" i was like pausing for 3 seconds before i asked him back "why?" hahaha... i think that's a stupid question.
oh my... nowadays guys can be so daring (well actually gals also).. but i admire his guts, we talked for a while and even though i declined to give him my phone no (of course), i thanked him and mentioned that it was nice meeting him. he walked off very fast after that though. lolx.
if only all of us have that guts in doing God's works or taking up some challenges in life, i guess sometimes all you need is courage, it's better taking a risk, at least you've tried.

as i was doing my part time, i realized that kids ask some interesting questions. one of the boy actually pointed at my watch and asked why there are only no 12 and 6? i wanted to answer him that it is the design but i wasn't sure if he'd understand that, then the other boy answered him "that's because the watch is too small, the other numbers can't fit in"
lolx very cute... i think the kids are very very cute. it's such a blessed work. God really knows how to bless me and provide me sufficiently whenever i need help. His faithfulness is really real.
they are very honest with one another as well, they can openly telling one another how much they dislike the other party and not wanting to play together. the selfish nature is obvious too. but i guess there's a good and bad part on being too transparent.

shirls borrowed the whole set of 'da chang jin' home, it's really quite addictive and judging from the length of the series, i'm going to be hooked in watching it for long period of time. i suspect it's her scheme so that i won't play dota anymore.

attended the video editing workshop last nite as well, no matter how much theory i've learnt, i really need to put it into real practice to improve. steven has assigned me to a team, i hope that i can be called for a project soon and that's where i can really learn as i do. video editing is really fun and being able to do it well as you contribute to the church make it double meaningful =)

once i reached home, i had to go out again even before i could rest well. went for a late nite supper with shirls, shuz, roy and eugene. i totally forgot my diet plan.
after sending shirls to gwen's house, we settled in eugene's place for the big match. he mentioned that his mum remembers me as the girl who vomitted cos of durian lolx.. man.. that's not a very good thing to remember.
expected, i was the only azzurri fans there. i tell you man, it was such a scary match and i was so scared that it would drag to PK shootout, i could feel my finger nails leaving marks on my face.
so when Grosso scored the goal on 119', i literally went frantic.. leaving shuz, roy n eugene shocked and in mourning state, but joy is an expression that you shouldn't contain so i released it hahahahaa...
eugene almost kicked me out of his house.

all in all it was a good match and it was really fun watching it together.
impossible is nothing. that's applicable for many areas.

listening >> follow the son - hillsong london
yeah.. time to bathe!

a few things.

i went to fire conference on fri nite, didn't plan to at first but since weiling asked and i was free.. well.. so i went to indoor stadium, not knowing what to expect there. she's late so i entered alone, no familar face around except for jacob. i found myself a seat and kinda impressed with the crowd (yes it was very crowded). not long the pnw started and paul baloche's there! right on the stage!! aaw... he sang my fave blessed be your name and the worship part was greeat. he sounds really good live and without question he led with spirit. i may join daniel leow as his fans lolx.
i was pretty much impressed with the media as well, the background slides were good~

we had the privilege to listen to reinhard bonnke's short teaching on evangelism. he was inspiring, this i have to admit. taken from matthew 25: parable of the talents, he made a clear point that we should not keep the gospel and the good news to ourselves. the best defence on the gospel is to spread it to 'enemies'
we gotta dig out all the buried talents.. and talents that we're talking about here is people!
he mentioned a few things on trusting God for few areas in our lives as well, risk it and even if we lose it, God will replace it. it's better than not trying at all.

he's not that young anymore but yet so much fire in him. that is a man who lives for Jesus.

after the conference, i realized that there were quite a no of familiar ppl.. met daniel at the entrance (why am i not surprised) together with some ywam ppl. priscilla was there too, nel and some others were there, joseph lee and some adults ppl were there too.

me, weiling and pris decided to have a late nite supper and catch germany vs argentina together, so we went to clarke quay. man that place was crowded! we hardly got a place to sit lolx.. but it was quite good mixing with all those crazy supporters.. i think it's almost 3 am by the time i reached home =p
by the way my italy won again hahaa... but i seriously don't dare to watch them against germany next.
this world cup has given me lots of headaches due to the lack of sleep.. i wonder how the ppl in europe survive, are they skipping work and school everyday?

listening >> france vs brazil half-time report
i am soo tired...
