Guess what,I quite proud of myself. I have been doing my runs almost every night since 2 weeks ago.
Running totally needs discipline. ok,at least for me.Im not talking about those causal run,only to run once or twice a week, but it's really almost everyday.
Why so? I am determine to look good and fit again. That's one of my new year resolution. And of course, to earn that $200!!! and now..with the new weights on my ankle..just wait for my testimony..hahah. (i want a tone,nice cutting gastrocnemius or calf muscles!!)

Anw..my heart really give all out to citycare volunteers that are helping out in the Haiti relief work.Really got to salute these people. Who will bother to travel to half way around the globe to help? but they do! They are simply too awesome. I read through many of their articles on the newspapers and the net. They are SAVING LIVES! making difference in the world. God,I just pray that the raining season in Haiti will postpone.
So, it was on Mon that I read those articles.
On the Mon night, for no reason, I switch on my tv to relax and I found myself watching LIFE TRANSFOMERS 2-心晴大动员 host by Christopher Lee & Quan Yi Fong. If u have a chance to watch,watch this week eps. I teared. Not because there are alot of cockroaches. but the gesture by the 2 host and the group of volunteers.

After knowing the Haiti and watching the show, you will thank God that you are blessed. Please dont even complain that God is no good to you just because you are now in lack or jobless. or blaming God for this and that. We are really blessed. After going through and giving Bible study so much,I learn that we got to have a thankful heart. It's not really just abt getting people save,but making a difference in people's lives. (by Pst Tan) A huge topic for me to meditate on.

Ok..to end everything in a lighter tone..I really love Alarice's voice. It's not dynamic but yet penetrative voice..there is this "soul" in her singing..wow..I got to get her album!!

2010-01-17T22:11:00.006+08:00

Decided to blog since I come to realise something that gave me a new thinking.It 's gonna be a long post..read only if you want to..hope it will bless you:)

Hmm...how should I start...

Ok..Alot of times, people tells us that we need to be focus..but focus on what?? focus on the problems/pains that u are going through??focus in the past??or even better..focus on the now??

From this part onwards,it's my thinking and opinion..Talk to me if you disagree,or you agree.But pls..no negative comments on my tag board as it says "encouragement only".

I come to realise that focusing on the now is really not enough.We need to come out of a level to focus on the FUTURE.The future(dream) that God has given to us.

There are 3 kinds of people.
The first group:focusing on the past.
"How I wish that I can do this like in the past" , "those were the good old days" are the common phrase that they used.
Second group of people:focusing on the now.
Do things for the sake of doing. Going Sch,work,NS because they need to.Their issues are mainly- currently.
Last group of people:focusing in the future.
This special group of people look into the future.They look into generations. When God has promise them something in the future,they are able to receive it. And the greatest example right now is Pst Kong.If you are in our church,you will know why.

Jesus,Himself was really focus.Why is He so focus?Why is He so powerful?Yes,because He is anointed but more than that,He knows who is He and where is going or heading to. He look into the future.Jesus believe that through Him on the cross,People will be reconcile to God.

You can be like Lot's wife,focusing on the past which cost her life.
You can be like Peter,focusing on the now,letting the storms in life to hit you and lose faith
Or be like Jesus.Focusing on what He is doing and knowing where He will head to.

I have a "taste to it" on last sat.This 2 weeks were hard to start.Real hard.I wasnt like Lot's wife,focusing on the past,but I was like Peter.I only focus on the now,doing the minimum.I was praying,how can I get rid of this "unfruitful" lifestyle. My breakthrough came on Sat morning. Wont share so much here, but it was awesome.

Just wanna encourage to all readers,no matter what you going through.High or low, stay focus on what God has called you to do.If you feel that you dont have a future ,guess what, ask God for it and He will give you :D

^{Mt 7:7-11
7} “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. ⁸ For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. ⁹ Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? ¹⁰ Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? ¹¹ If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

After 3 days of politics in my work place..I'm definitely stressed out..To end the entire thing..once again,I played the "bad" role. Not just the incident,some other incidents also, I realise that I played alot of the bad person role. To solve certain issue, sometimes bad person is still needed. If there is no Joker,there wont be Batman..If there is no green goblin,there wont be spiderman??

Haha..thoughts anyways..still dont be a bad person ok!

Going out to celebrate Weiyang's birthday with the DGs was awesome..basically,most "ice" were break. We had a fine time together! And Im addicted of playing Monopoly Deal Card. Most of them knows how to play and they bullied me :(
But is ok..im playing too during my breaks in my work place...HEHE!

Well, Wont be blogging too often from now..Im going back to the old traditional way..Im gonna pen down.Writing on a book is easier for me now..definitely,Im not abandon this blog.

Oh wait..lzx is coming out his 7th album-羅生門..9 more days!!! I'm waiting!~...

When all pressure comes from all directions,when it's all hard pressed..it's the only time you know that you are growing..Expand Expand and more expansion that I need..

Gal 6:9
"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart."

Somehow...Apostle Paul was like encouraging me

1Tim 1:18-19
(Timothy, my son, I give you this instruction in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by following them you may fight the good fight,holding on to faith and a good conscience.)

Expand my tents!

2009-11-12T00:21:00.002+08:00

I just had a small little thought while waiting for PY to end class..

I was reading some Pastors' Blog while waiting..(all thanks to my Omnia)..I just had a thought...

How will it be like if I could have a up close experience with Pastors like Pst Kong,Pst Phil,Pst Robb,Dr A.R Bernard and etc?? After wondering for awhile..I just ended it, saying:"wow..If only...."

2009-11-10T01:00:00.002+08:00

Jesus..You stable this feet of mine

Psalm 119:101-106

I have restrained my feet from every evil way,That I may keep Your word.
I have not departed from Your judgments,For You Yourself have taught me.
How sweet are Your words to my taste,Sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Through Your precepts I get understanding;Therefore I hate every false way.
Your word is a lamp to my feetAnd a light to my path.
I have sworn and confirmed,That I will keep Your righteous judgments.

2009-11-09T21:22:00.002+08:00

Wonderful time hearing Rev Dr. Robb Thompson..He is one of the preachers that really inspire me..

His sermon was deep..deep teaching about the Word of God..

I like the part when he shared during s1 is the part on the process of revelation which is:

Confrontation --> Revelation --> Acknowledgment --> Public Confession

Wow..

In S4..

You do not love God more than you love His Word
You do not know God more than you know His word
You do not fear God more than you fear His word

Wow..so true..

He also pointed out that your future is guaranteed the moment you choose to love what God love..

At that moment..it makes me even more to know what God loves..Thats why Jesus asked peter in Jn21

Im gonna embrace His word..The Bible shall be my truth to life...

2009-11-05T15:34:00.002+08:00

"Your words were found, and I ate them, And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; For I am called by Your name, O Lord God of hosts." Jer15:16

It is really that His words found me and i received it; that His word is always a joy and rejoicing to me and I know im called by His name to overcome:) (anw..that's how I interpret it..haha)

After losing my MP3,it makes me realise that I've been relying on it too much..

My MP3 just died on me on Sun..I felt sth was missing..Some people will know how I feel on Sun's night..Im totally lost..NO MUSIC!!

At that point,a few people came to cheer me up, encourage me..but my mind has only a person in mind..who is a good brother of mine..Lokies..He somehow impacted me on appreciating music..though we are 中西(im to the chinese..he's to the English)
Lokies...u definitely has ur footprints in my life..thx Lokies:)

2009-09-24T23:28:00.004+08:00

Didnt had chance to use com till today..I was "late" in reading Pastor's blog. After reading, I had a strong conviction...I have the best pastor,best role models,in the best Church..I am in with what Pastor and Sun is into...I like the verse that Pastor quoted :Matthew 21:31, “I tell you the truth, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you.”

It is gonna be a verse for me for the next few weeks..

Here's how you do it:

"The degree you love God is actually the degree that you will love His Word."

2009-09-13T00:00:00.000+08:00

Today,Pst Kong shared a powerful sermon for all of us.Dont know what you caught from Pst but for myself,it's the loyalty towards God and His people.Im truly blessed by the Word.To be able to love Him with an unchangeable love is what I prayed. I think I have changed is because His grace for me.
During service, I recommit myself to God. Many of times, we let God down but God never once despise us. His love for us is everlasting. Nothing will change His love for us. Then suddenly, a tune came into my mind…a tune of “nothing gonna change my love for you” funny huh??

Day by day..I want to renew my commitment towards Him..

Thank you God!

2009-09-04T21:31:00.000+08:00

Man..Im sure busy for the past few weeks..no personal time with my com..finally today,right now, I can use my com already..haha..Things started to happen very fast esp since my upper study is going leave the work place..stress level duobled,now an under study coming but my stress level tripled.Not helping me to relieve but adding to my stress.But now,it is my period of recharging.I was told to clear my off.Woo~but i was told once again that I will be called back if my partner cannot do his job.Good and bad news huh..

Went to my grandparents' place.Though they always cook good food,whenever I go back alone,they sure will cook my favourite dishes.I told my mum about it and her reaction was abit jealous.hehe.I had a great time just talking and listening to them.They were telling about how's their past,how to live life and all types of relationship topics like family,friends..Whenever is just 3 of us having a meal,we will laugh,serious talk and ect.I love my grandparents.While i was about to leave their place,my grandpa told me sth that touches and moved my heart,I was like holding back my tears,haha.He said that whatever im believing in,I had changed.Although Im not regularly going back to eat on sunday,he said I took initiative to go back on the weekdays.They are touched that I went back even though im feeling tired.That moved my heart.I love them!!Kinship is always important to me.Thank God for good grandparents :)

2009-08-03T22:06:00.000+08:00

Well busy week gonna be ahead.I knew it's gonna be busy this week but I didnt know it's that busy!!Basically,just today only drain all my energy away.Super tired.But just wanna do the best I can in all areas of my life.

Yesterday was the Church 20th aniversary.The celebration was totally awesome.To kick started the whole event,we prayed during the first service.It's like a spirit-filled day.Couldnt describe the feeling.Haha.I was telling Jeremy that,that was our pre-service prayer meeting.HAHA!It was simply too awesome to see some many people to gather and prayer.Maybe nxt time our pre-service pm gonna be this much of ppl.quite cool sia.

For the second part of the service, no words could describe it. I was feeling very touched for the entire 3hrs+.To see how a man and a woman,so in love with God,make a difference to a group of people.And together,changing the world with the love of God.A group of 20 people to 27 000 member strong.Wow..the Church has gone a long way. The Pioneers sacrificed alot to let us taste the fruit of success.I am proud of my pioneers,I am proud of City Harvest Church and proud to be a member in City Harvest Church.I want to be a part of the next generation.I want to live my life to the fullest. I want my dream to be fulfilled in this great church. Still, the Church still has a long way to go. Greater things have yet to be done. :)

2009-07-30T22:36:00.001+08:00

Guess what..

Im not really a gadget person. Losing a psp wont make a big fuss about. But today,something that I lost makes me break down in front of my friends.I lost my precious handphone. The feeling of losing my handphone is totally no good at all.For the 1st entire life,i lost my handphone.I was really super disappointed in myself.Just getting down from my dad's car to my work place,I actually can lose my hp. hate my carelessness.At that point when I know I lost my phone, the first thought came to my mind was I rather lose my PSP than my Omnia.That phone was a special phone to me. Pics, msg and other etc, all were special to me. even stylus has its story.but everything is gone now.

To make the matter worst,I went so crazy to the extend that I bought a new phone striaghtaway. I went to get a new SIM card,while waiting at the queue,I saw Omnia 2.I didnt cared about the price and I bought the phone.I told my parents about it. Their eyes were like "pop-out"

Although I lost that hp and I couldnt get back,God did provide a way.My parents paid 1/2 of the phone.It did brighten up my day man.I guess there is this saying: 久的不去，新的不来。God himself is a blesser.

The second thing that makes me happy was when I saw the Cadbury Dairy Milk commercial.I laugh like hell sia.God has His way to cheer me on:)

Go youtube see if is not clear.

2009-07-27T22:49:00.001+08:00

Last Sunaday,it was an historical event for The Kops in Singapore.

It's the match- Singapore VS Liverpool FC.

Just like all other 50,000 Liverpool Fan- The Kops,I went with my dad to catch the live soccer match.

When we reached the National Stadium,Guess what??The most of the stadium was filled with The Kops.Most Kops were wearing their favourites playing like Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard,Xabi Alonso and etc. Although Red was suppose to represnt Singapore, the fans wore Red to suppport Liverpool.(pics soon)

The national stadium suddenly just changed as even we had arrived Anfield( Liverpool's Home Ground). The Kops were singing loudly to show the support we have to the Liverpool's Players. My dad and I sing as well..Haha.Before the match starts, the atmosphere was high,supporters were awesome.The cheering gets even louder when we saw the line-ups.

No national anthem was played but "YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE" lIVERPOOL'S Theme song was played.My dad and I were surprised.We thought at least we Singaporean can have some pride..but oh well..So the match get started,it was really boring..It's like they are really friendly match..no attacking at all..But the Kops kept cheering..finally at 44th mins,Liverpool broke the dead lock..Not gonna say too much about the match..but we manage to see Torres for about 1/2hr..WOO~Torres and of course Alonso.(pics up soon)

During the match..my conversion between my dad was not much of the match but we were discussing how was is gonna be like when we are in our own Church stadium.I was saying to my dad that we are gonna see Pastor Kong in a quite small figure.We were saying how great will it be next time in our own stadium.

Yes,Liverpool ended up thrashing Singapore to a score 0 - 5.TORRES SCORED 1 GOAL!!Happy,excited yet displeased in the heart.
Then on last night,I made a promise to God,that I will never leave Cell group meeting early or leave before it is offically ends,unless really serious cases.I knew I had missed a wonderful time in CG.After I said that,I felt ease in my heart..

Spending in the presence of God should be the most important in life and nothing will ever take that place. :)

2009-07-26T00:49:00.008+08:00

I had alot for "no reasons" going on today..well,not entirely today but tonight.

For no reasons,I decided to go home early,though i have places in mind to go to.I claimed that I need to rest to watch the BIG game tomorrow: Singapore vs Liverpool. Well,thats not true.Well, for no reason,my entire family wasnt home.Most saturdays, I will always see any one of them,be it my sis and her bf,my parents or my bro when I reach home.But today.NONE..So for also no reason,I want to watch a movie at home which i seldom do.Maybe I had a good sound system plus the tv that makes me wanna watch.So for no reason,I took out a DVD which my bro borrowed from the Library which called Coach Carter.

If you see the cover,You will proberbly say "aiya! it's just another basketball show".I totally agree with you,for now.It was the same thought when i saw that cover.But i was totally wrong.

I was totally blown off by this movie.It is a real life story.From a team of losers in Basketball, He turn them to a team of Champions.It will not be a wow-wow for me,if it just stops here. In the show,those players do not know what respect is,wrong attitude towards life. Much less towards their education. So this coach,Coach Carter who recieved both high praise due to his transformation he had made for the team yet has to be critise when he made a news for the gym "lockout" of his entire undefeated team for poor academic performance.
With the parents,community and the scholll rallying to get the team back on court,Coach Cater must overcome all obstacles of his environment and show the young men a future that stretches beyond gangs,drugs,prison and even basketball.
This man is not just into transformation to the team,but transformation to the individuals.HE IS TRANSFORMING LIVES!

I was really encouarged by the show..This moive,i will give it up a 5.You got to watch this movie..highly recommanded..

I guess..my "no reason" has His reasons afterall..Thank you God..

SO RICH-WHAT??RICHMOND!!! - their cheer..haha

2009-07-24T22:55:00.006+08:00

Praise God..after 5 days of "fighting" with the virus, I've finally won!!NO MORE FEVER...Woo~it is totally not a good feeling to have a temperature of 38-39.5 Degree Celsius for a consecutive days.Basically,it's crazy..of course..it's not a lone war..I really appreciate those who prayed for me.I can never recover this fast without your prayers.Thank you!!But most importantly, I thank God for the healing. Without You, prayers will not work. But still, Im quite weak now. So much of the draining my energy because of this sickness..argh!!Once fully recover,Im gonna pump up abit more and head to gym!!

Not gonna blog too much.However,wanna share something from what i have read.Somehow this give me a clearer picture of what I am praying about:

Leadership is not about gaining a platform for yourself, but about assuming responsibility so that people’s lives can be transformed. Leadership is not about being in the limelight but about being an example- without claiming perfection- in order to offer courage hope to others. Leadership is never about self but always about others. It is about helping people to become everything that God has called them to be, and not about gratification.
(Rev. Ulf Ekman – The Spiritual Leader)

I was blown of by this statement, i agree and totally in it.

Hmm..

I was just read the Bible when I came across this verse.
Matthew 7:6(NKJV)- Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.

This verse somehow caught me today.

For dogs themselves doesn't know anything about what is Holy.And to the swine,it cant actually appreciate what is a pearl.The swine might just mistook it and treat it as a food. Pearls to us are precious,but not to the swine. And once it chew,it's gonna be painful for those swine. Let's take it that swine can be wild bore,given to that nature of wild bore,it will become aggressive and might atttack u.

We got to turn to those who will appreciate "pearls" and not to those that will attack u once you shared it wilth them ;)

I just got a thought after cutting my nails.I thought of a friend of mine, Andrew.

Sounds weird huh.to think of a person when u are cutting ur nails??haha.But to me, maybe is not. The person who taught me how to cut my nails is actually Andrew. At the age of 15, i still dunno how to cut a nail properly. He is the one who taught me.

To really think back, one of the memories that i have in sec sch is actually with him. Many things had happen during my sec sch days and Andrew was the one who seen alot "parts" of me.

Had a great chat with him on sunday.Finally,after 3 years,we managed to sort some things out. And Im happy.haha.The start of a new friendship. :)

Soon, the "Roller coaster" ride is soon over..everything is getting better already..for everything happens,it happens with a cause.

Anyways, to start with a lighter tone, Singapore has been doing very well in AYG2009 as far as swimming is concerned.Haha..total gold medal tally is 9 and 5 of it is from Swimming..Woo!so proud of the swimmers especially Tingwen...WOO!4 gold medal from her!maybe she is gonna be the youth-sportswoman of the year.Anw,all their hardwork did paid of..GO TEAM SINGAPORE..

It is always good to have a dream..but not just a dream, a FOCUSED dream.Many people in this world(i guess) is facing this problem..having too many dreams and not knowing which is the one..at a point in life, you may dream of becoming a teacher,then a sportsman,then a police,then a accountant,then a pastor...there are too many dreams that you want to fulfill..

Then you got to decide which is the one you really wanted..It might be simple..Just follow the HolySpirit, the "inner Voice" or your heart.If everything just stop here,then your dream you choose to follow is easy to obtain.

The scary part is this-when you decided to work towards for the dream that you chose and forgo all the dreams you had 5 yrs ago,and 5yrs later..dreams that you had forgo started "haunt"you back..(sound like a ghost story huh?!?!haha)

So my short-story...
I was given a chance,an opportunity..I was scout for.Many people told me I have potential in it..great people told me-"you can be the next one"
But when Pastor preach about leadership esp Pastor Phil about 5yrs ago,I decided to let my dream die and follow.

But everytime when i watch the competition,there is always a burning desire to go back.Even until now.I know that if that day i choose not to give up,maybe i might have the chance to give it a shot in major competition.

But I thank God that I chose to let it die.I know that that dream is all under my understanding,there is no God's factor.Leaning on God's understanding.I know that His ways are always high than my ways,His thoughts are higher than my thoughts.I would say I dont regret about my choice.

But still,there is always a struggling.we are not prefect,Im not prefect..all of us struggles..That's why i like what kelvin said: - We are a living sacrifice.As a living sacrifice,we can be on the altar or come down from it and choose whether to be a sacrifice.That's why we need to stand on the altar to be the living sacrifice and consistently to go back to the altar.

Hard to understand huh?!haha.
Thats all folks;)

This few days hasn't been great.So much things happen in my workplace.Things may go well all wrong but thank God for all the Bible Study that i have went.I feel that for myself I have changed quite abit.In the past,I found that I will definitely end up will argument with anyone i disagree.I will show an angry face and keep complaining.But recently, esp for the past few days,whenever I am about to get into an argument,I will just walk away and start to release my anger to God.I will not go head to head to that person.At least,in my tough time,God Himself is still moulding me.

Anw,recently I have been thinking about this word "respect".Now,Im talking about respecting towards your friends.Many people have not much problem respecting a person who has authority,a leader,a senior over your life.But cant have the respect towards their friends.Im just wondering will you ever throw your used fork onto a leader while dining together??(just a scenario but it did happen..not fork of course).So if you wont do it, how much also will you do to your friend?CERTAINLY NOT!Just because you are close with him doesn't allow you to do so right?Come on,basic manners in life!!Respect your friend lah.Respect need to be earn.By doing this will you gain the respect??NO!and much more if u wish to be a leader.Im not pin-pointing anyone,I myself need to have these too.

So much for all, although this week is tough,everyday I will just put on a smile.Reason? I just wanna thank God that I actually have a day everyday.

For now,God-I believe tml will be a great day!AMEN

Finally,Im back to blog...Im having my free time now but i couldnt exchange it with my beauty slp!!Having my 24hrs duty...Totally sian!!How i wish i can just lie down and sleep...Since camp,I didnt have my usual long slp!!I just wanna have a good sleep!!Haha..listening Yes93.3 now

Ever since my course (11/5) started till now,i couldnt blog..It is either i need to sleep early or busy...This entire month has been a fruitful one..I got the benefit of breakthrough both physically and spiritually..God has been really good to me..I was totally blown away especially during Inspire Youth Camp 09...will not share..but i have already written down..Breakthrough upon breakthrough...

Now back to work..Work load piles up ever since i left work for course..Stressed but there is sth different this time..I approached it differently..It is more like God's strength than my own strength..Well,gonna face stress these few weeks but the more I feel stress, the more I want to depend on God..I found out myself pray and fast more often..

Indeed,a touch from God,your life will never be the same..and im not going back to my old self!!

BBQ yst was really fun..but not today as i suffer a terrible stomachache..it must be some of the uncooked chicken wings...wasted my entire morning today...

The past few weeks have been a fruitful for me...it has been quite some times to really have good sermon preached..From Dr. John Avanzini, he shared an amazing principle of econs.So different in the worldview with the bible.Inspired.Next was Men's conference with Dr. Allan Meyer..i didnt expected much as it was not Pst Phil preaching but i was totally wrong...He preached on Becoming a Valiant Man..he talk about y guys will act so differently..and most important of all-about purity...i even bought the book that he wrote to further understand it...And Lastly,till yst,in my opinion -one of the best speaker,preacher,a teacher to even a director, an actor: Steve Munsey...Although this is the first time listening to him,i had make him my top 5 preacher...I really super love him!!When he describe how he preached in his church,i was totally blown away..im getting his msg this week..one day,i would really like to visit his church...

So it was like alot of bible study..To really understand what the bible explain/mean rather than just words/ sentances.And i love it..gonna go back for bible study class and getting books..it gonna be "a project" in may...

This entire week has not been a good week..Fell sick again!!This time round is really the weather..SUPER WARM LAH!! Because of my job scope that i need to stand under the hot sun and another moment i need to be in air-conditioned office..due to the sudden change of temperature,i caught a cold..real bad,so bad that my nose is like a spoilt tap..

Went to see a doctor and got myself a 2days mc..just before i could submit my mc,my boss ask me for help to conduct some stuff for the next 2 weeks..we are really short of man-power so therefore i didnt submit my mc..initially i can recover very fast one with the medication but im not allow to have my medication due to safety reasons..so i only only can take my medicine once i reach home..just pop in the medicine and i slept till the next day..it is suppose to be taken 3 times a day but i only take 1 tablet a day..how to recover fast??

So just yesterday,i manage to take a 1 and a half day off..so i did a very irresponsible act..i switched off my phone and i left in my office..so that no one can disturb my rest..yes,very irresponsible of me..went back to office this afternoon to get my phone back..guess what, got quite alot of miss calls and msg...alot of it from my work place..

After much rest...finally i feel abit better already...after tonight it should alright already..

For now,gonna stay healthy..rest is all i need now..

Finally!!i just finish typing the slips..my eyes are tired...but to see so many decision,I'm just glad..all this are not just slips but precious souls..

This week is one of my most fulfilling week..from good Friday till today..it has been amazing to see God is at work..Thank God for supernatural strength..i cant really believe that i can serve that much..out of 9 services,i went 6 and most of it is to help out..i believe i can do even more..God,expand my tent!

City Harvest has presented a world class drama for Easter..all 6 drama i teared...all in different parts of the drama..i don't about others opinion but i feel it is one of the best drama they have put up..This year it clearly shows 1. what the world and God can offer...Both can offer the same thing but a different result...one is not everlasting but the other is...2. it clearly shows that God has given us the choice of freedom..without a choice, there is no true love...God rather take that risk than control us..3. no matter how undeserving we are,Jesus still lay His life for our sake..A perfect man took our sin just for us to commune with our Father God..I really enjoyed this yr drama...

The fellowship with the members were great*esp on sat

Believing breakthrough will come for my family,cg,and my personal life...

Right now,i think i deserve some rest,so i took an off day to rest..since God himself need to rest,i think we should as well...

Everyone in the cg has done a great job..applause for all the hard work u have put in..from the youngest member to the more mature once..u guys have done a great job...esp our leaders-Kelvin and Cynthia...

I was struck with some thoughts on the way back home..one of it was
"朋友规朋友，该有的尊重还是要有的"..a phrase that LZX use when someone he is close with went overboard...

Just wondering how humans relate to each other with such a scary way..when we are just strangers,we are very careful with words..we choose words that are kind,not offensive,even to the extend of praising the person for such a small deed...but when "that stranger"becomes one of your good friends..they somehow changed a 180 degree..they no longer use kind words,instead of speaking encouragement,they are full of negativity..
Take of example(im just giving example)..a group of friends meeting some new friends...in order to make the new friends feel "close with us",they are willing to make fun of a person to make the new friends laugh...I think this is really a wrong attitude..the bible says in Heb 10:24-25(And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.)
I dont mind people to joke with me..sometimes many of my friends treat me as a joker in the group..im ok with it...but there must be a limit..DONT treat anyone as a clown..a joker is different from a clown..a joker tells jokes and be funny..but a clown has to perform/do sth to make the person laugh..
So back to topic..so where has the respect,the choice of our words with that"stranger" gone to after we have become friends??

Finally,after such a long time..walking back alone in the night..thoughts that keep flowing in,prayer walks..it felt so good...im gonna keep do it more often..

Why do humans have to lose some things that are precious to them before they really treasure it??

I have been thinking about this thought for the past 2 weeks...Why must i lose some thing that is really precious in order for me to treasure it...i took it for granted when chances or opportunity have given to me..but once is already taken,i got this wake up call for me to treasure everything that is given to me...That why God will add much to those who are faithful in little..

For now..i gonna be as faithful to little things that is given to me..it is a period of preparation...
I got to wait for now...

So much expecting of spending quality time with my parents but end up not a single one at home..

Went home super early today just wanna have a dinner with my parents but found no one at home..spending home alone...the spoil brat in me started to complain..haha..but look at a good side..i finally can have a good quiet time..it's been awhile since i have my quiet time..so quite good..

So,after some time..started to feel hungry...no place to eat and i hate eating alone..just about to go down and buy some food..my dad called...he make me felt abit jealous..He thought that it was Joey who keep up the phone..it is still ok..sometime my bro and my voice sound the same when talking on phone..but what makes me feel abit jealous about joey is when my dad wants my bro to cook for him...i was like thinking.."hello!cnt i cook for u huh?"he just instruct me to ask joey to cook..so decided to cook something for my dad..when he comes home,he was quite surprise that it is i who cook for him..

Have been in this type of situation for some time already...i was just thinking..if they can do it,so do i...but y is everybody getting a chance and not i?take my bro as an example..the 1st person my dad thought of is joey...washing the dishes is Joelynn..of course not just family part..but in most area of my life...have i really not done enough??but to think of it..how will i respond when my chance is here?will disappoint them??God knows..

But oh well..im secure of who i am..so not really a big problem to me...haha..

Finally..got some time for myself..requested to go home early..

These few days were really my busy days...going home late..so much things to clear..currently doing a 3 persons job...Thank God for strength and wisdom..letting me to make good decisions..Thank God for a good upper-study..though our thinking and beliefs are different,we can still work together..Manage to spend some time with some of my long time friends last night...it has been months since we went out...went Clarke Quay to slack for the whole night..catch up alot with our personal life..Every sacrifice has to pay a price..i paid my sleeping time for the time...so the entire today was super sleepy for me..

Today,quite slack...quite little work for me to do...both my bosses and my upper-study not around...i think i am quite bored that i come out with a trick...something to do with my eyes..i just realise that i got a pair of real nice eyes...i quite love my eyes..anw..i am able to switch from a double eyelid to single eyelid..cool huh...something very weird of me..i love to look into people's eyes..i think eyes do "talk"..gonna spend some time tml looking at my eyes..haha...

Started a journey to seek God everyday despite how tired i am..indeed when ur mental and physically wanna give up..the spirit will always hold on..heart and mind may fail..but He will not fail...

Things make an U-turn when we started to change the way we think..I always believe in prayers..but just some time in life,i didn't make prayers as my priority..I tend to think real hard before knowing im heading the wrong direction..well,gonna start to repent and make prayer a lifestyle..

Finally,changes are happening in my work place..the attitude started to change positivity..This entire week have been a week of moulding..testing in the area of initiative,leadership,taking charge...My mentor taught me a great lesson on leadership..not to limit myself just being only a member but a person that really can make things happen..At first,i really dont understand..I dont know why should i go through this fire of testing..depressed..by not guarding my heart properly,i let emotion to set in..turn my week upside down..but thank God that i started to pray..things change..i had a good start today..was praised for doing well in my job..over seeing most of the problems..and the same test that i went thru on last sat happens today...my boss ask for a meeting..for no reason,i found myself asking him what can i help or do..making sure that all the things are in order..getting a lighter to light the birthday cake..things that are needed are in place..at the end of the meeting,i initiate to clear the room..putting things back to place..before all of us leave...my boss sat us down..*btw,he is not really a nice boss..when he talks..u will know he has not much of vocab to scold people..his voice is as loud as a parade commander..He started to scold all the trainers for not being on time for the meeting,no initiatives..but he pointed me out..he say he was pleased in what im doing..he says that a trainer should behave like a leader..you lead the people,initiate helps,making sure all things move smoothly..Im really happy..

As i take some time to walk..i felt like as if im going through something that i have gone before...indeed it is what i gone through on sat...thinking back..i found myself grow a little..lets hope the passion keeps burning...not gonna forget..

This week has been a tiring week i had so far..but really got to blame the stubbornness in me..

Woke early in the morning at abt 3+am just to watch soccer for wed and thurs,knowing that the next morning i will have tough training..it is really time to be wise...

Watch MARLEY AND ME with some members on thurs night..Overall,i really heart-warming movie...it's more realistic as compare to some other dog's movie..I thank God thet Pink Panter 2 was not in GV on thurs..if not i really had missed a great show...after the movie..went home and thought about things that happened in the movie..Owen Wilson has acted well!!but i was expecting the movie to show more abt Marley...i would give 3.5/5

just today..i had a secondary sch gathering(see,im full of activities for this week!!)...some of them have started to serve NS while most of them are in their 2-3yr of the poly..had alot of fun with Andrew and the rest..sure miss the past..andrew taught us this real fun game..if there is enough time,im gonna play this with the members..

Had some new injuries man..i sprang my right wrist and my right thigh just 1 day..man..still got training tml..and i heard from my coach that is gonna be a tough 1..so if u guys see me dazing around,it is not because im down,emo or "dao"..it's just that i am resting..need to regain my energy back..

1 thing that i have had to my to-do-list for nxt week:
to watch PINK PANTER 2!!

What a tiring week i had for this week..Fulfilling but so tired...

NS training has been getting tougher and tougher..learn alot of new things..one of the training is to learn how to crawl..I know most of u guys will think how hard can a crawl be..of course..i not talking about baby's crawling..we learn alot of different crawls..man it is sure exhausting..getting myself injured,blue-black..super painful!!i think i gonna have quite alot of scars..

Thinking that weekend is gonna be a good,relax weekend but NO!i found that church is organising swimming competition..i have determine to participate it..sth to do will my dream and to finish it...not gonna share much here..haha..like most of my sat,i went swimming..but this time round my shifu has changed some of the training style..man..i felt like broken pieces of me..the training was definitely crazy..from 9am-1pm+..drills after drills..sprinting after sprinting..enduring the training..I was thinking who is gonna save me from the training..so at my break after 12+ i saw a miss call from kel and jer..i think they save me cause i have to be back to j.w by 2.15..so my training end quite early...after training went to help cyn out..spend the next half of the day with my leaders..really had a good time though most of the time im on my daze mode..haha..had board games at cyn's hse till abt 1+am..i wanted to stay on but with the condition i am..i know i cnt concentrate in service on sun..so i decided to go home...

woke up at abt 10am today..seeing that i woke up too early for service,i went swimming again..swim about 11.45 then went home to prepare for svc..svc was really good..i enjoyed it..what pst preached is what i call "seeds"..although im not in a relationship but pst has put the "seeds" into my heart..what im most impacted was the part he talk about preparing..i felt it was a prophetic word for me..it is my theme for this year..Although i feel like fellowshipping,i went home straight because i was really tired...slept straight when i reached home..Indeed i had one of a fruitful week..

This entire week has been a week of prayer for me..God has been really good to me..opening doors for me..opportunities for me to serve Him in a greater way...Im believing Him for a greater future...

Went to help cynthia yesterday and today..had alot of fun for both days but at the same time exhausting!!Yesterday,Jeremy and i went to help..so both of us were very thirsty and auntie give us both 1.75L bottle of water...Jeremy come out with a really crazy idea..It is to see who can finish the whole bottle in the shortest time..So both of us has this challenge..It's crazy!!We manage to finish the bottle..and our stomach has like to about to burst...having the feeling of vomiting...Of course..jeremy won..He has a "greater" capacity than mine...HAHA!!

Today's cgm was all abt prayers...Prayers should be a part in our life..Anw..kelvin broke the news about w363..there will be no longer w363...When he broke that news..i really feel alot from it..W363 has been a journey for me..i really cnt understand y should we disband w363 at first..but after awhile..God make me understand sth...w363 is just a name..the more important thing is from this journey i have learn alot...some times,we got to let go of things and start anew..and one thing for sure...be it 363 or 279,where kelvin is..i want to be there..I want to be there for my leader.. So goodbye 363 and hello 279...(but still,feeling alot)

Anw...I really need to get some real rest...super tired and exhausted..training tml..facing it with a good attitude..i trust in u...

Gonna pray that God will increase my strength,alertness,staying sharp and having positive mindset...God is real good...I believe that im in His favour...some new open doors and im really thankful to Him...now..i gonna start planning and waiting for Him to direct...for my future..i gonna start to be hardworking now...

After all, it is not formulas..it is actually a relationship..Cg message was a great one...it's actually the answer that i have been searching...many in life can be "worked out"by formulas but not with God..or i will say any relationship..it is not something plus something is equal..

Gonna start to set things right...what past has already past..it is time to continue...move on!!It is really a waste to see things that is not fruitful...Be it relationships/friendship/personal life,it is really the time to set it right...

Sometimes,
things/events just don't happen the way u wanted...maybe is because of emotion or ego that changes the way..Disappointment in the area on myself,towards others,and for others towards me..definitely there will be this "crack"..gonna start think about the choice of words to communicate to people..very bad in expressing my words...but oh well...

Gonna blog before i go to bed...

This week has been an exciting week..alot of ups and downs in just 1 week itself..I saw the grace of God upon my life..Because of 1 silly mistake i made..it almost cost my life...

On last sun night..i decided to watch a REAL nice movie and missed my slp..the following day,i lost all my concentration in my practical exam..i thought i would need to have a re-test but thank God..i passed..On tues,sth terrible happened in my life that i think i will never forget..to summarise it..i almost got myself killed when i climb over to a false ceiling which i didnt know...i drop into a hole which my legs were dangling between level 1 and 2...At that instant.i know God has sth great ahead for me..that's y i didnt died..On wed,quarrelled with a buddy of mine for sth that i stood right...But thank God..it was resolved at night..Called up for that incident which most probably i need to pay on thurs..and today kanna punish for no reason..

So basically..my week is like a roller coaster ride..i enjoyed it..not of the bad situation/thoughts..but able to come out of it standing tall..

I read abt this book telling us to write everything down..writing ur thoughts down..be it negative or positive thoughts..if u are facing -ve thoughts,write them down..whatever -ve thoughts comes along,just write it down..after u write it down,u will find that every -ve thoughts can be classify under 1 big -ve thought..it is actually from 1 big -ve thought has been broken down,then emphasize by you..you are the one that actually magnify that thought..still..im learning this truth..and it actually works for me...

And i hate unfruitfulness!!will talk more abt unfruitfulness
gonna slp now..candle-light service tml..hope andrew and tien song will come!

This week was an tough going week...not gonna focus on it since it is already passed..

Today i had one of the most emotional day..

So i finally..after 6yrs..i went back to see my "ShiFu"..mixed feeling at first..having this "tug-of-war" in my heart whether should i see him...before i can make a decision..i reached that place..

Some background about my "SHIFU":"
Name:Ivan Tan
i always call him uncle ivan..before my greatest hero kelvin works in my life..he was the one who see me through in my childhood days...spend hrs with him in the pool..train me up..won the 1st gold medal under him..i decided to run away because i feel that i could not meet his standard for me... "

it really takes me alot of courage to see him again..when i walk up the stairs..i feel my legs were heavy and i had to drag myself up..guess what..i saw him at the gate..So as usual..i called him"uncle Ivan"His reply was" u then uncle lah" The nxt thing he said something that make me teared in front of alot of ppl.. "After 6yrs,finally u are willing to come back and see me"
i went up crying and hugging him..after much emotion..i decided to join his swimming class..it really brought me to the past when i first started out swimming..instead coaching by him...i help him out in coaching..coached 2 of his lessons..so after the last lesson..he decided to challenge me in swimming..I finally won him man...but by 1 arm length..somemore he is still down with a flu and he is already 36 already..i told him i will come back and challenge him again when he is recovered..

we sat down chit-chatting..He ask me this question.."wanna come back and train in swimming again?"I told him no...as i found a greater calling in my life..I decided to let my dream die of being a national swimmer(that was my past dream when i was 12),a lifeguard,a coach...even recently i got a chance to prove myself once again..but i just let it die...

had a great chat with him..really love him..a good man,a good mentor i will say...

but got abit of jealous when he found a new disciple..i thought i was the only one!!but she swim real fast..

2008-11-16T11:28:00.002+08:00

Had one of the enjoyable fellowship yesterday...

i called it The gathering of the "old"..Haha..Had great fellowship with Jin Hong and Christina and of course the guys in our cg...Jin Hong,Christina and i were talking about the past till now..and looking back..God had really changed me..From a person of "dao-ness",minding his own business till who i am today..wow..God really works in someone's life..I love deep talks..yesterday,we had 1 of the most deepest talk i ever had...the 3 of us plus wei yang were talking topics like what is the different between Emo and Solitude,What really is God's given plan to us,and with Christina,she will talk about relationship-who is the one who is appointed to be ur spouse?All deep talks man..and Thank God FOR KELVIN!!!He really explain our 30mins of questions..after he left,we still continue our topics..After all the talks..i believe in one thing..when i mixed vows and pledges,i believe God for my future..gonna keep all of them..

I love deep talks..As i grow older,i realise i enjoyed deep talks fellowship than just fun fellowship..hold a sec..i still enjoy fun fellowship..Maybe i have grown older,maybe my thinking mature(which i hope it is..haha)Deep talks set me to think alot..esp for my future..

And also..i am still preparing for the FIRST EVER ASIA CONFERENCE!!have been fasting and praying..really excited..God WILL move in a great way...expecting something new..

This week,i had a great week..everything happens when i did the unusual...Not gonna post much on that..but this post now i gonna delicate to my parents..Why??because of a movie..

Decided to spend a my early afternoon with my dad..so we decided to watch a movie at home..pick up this show that i wanted to watch but have no opportunity to watch it..and the CD was just in front of my computer table..so i decided to watch it...this movie is abt 3 brothers have to take care of their mum(in old age) when they 3 are in lack money..(guess u guys know what show already)..starting of the show..i was laugh so loudly that my dad ask me to shut up..haha..when the touching part started,tears are in my eyes..trying to act brave in front of my daddy..but still i could not control..the show was really touching..and it makes me think alot..When i grow up..i must find a good wife..cannot find a wife who is not filial..but i leave it with God..the part i wanted to touch on are parents..The show reminds me about my grandpa..he has left me 3yrs ago..the feeling is still there even till today when i shared with a young member..tears are still in my eyes..not gonna share what happen..(ask me if u wanna know but only willing to share with certain ppl) but that incident taught me 1 thing..to love and honor your parents and grandparents..i always share this with the members..if u cnt even love ur parents,pls dont tell me u will love the sinners..

Like i said..this post is delicated for my parents..

To my Daddy,

U have been the greatest daddy in the entire world..No daddy can compare with u except God..Thank You for been there when im down..from young,u taught me not to give up easily..u encourage me when i felt discourage..when u want me to be a swimmer..i will be the best swimmer i ever can be..Daddy,the times we spend together to swim,watching soccer,drinking,admiring fish,dogs and etc..i enjoyed that..you are always willing to drive me to anywhere when i ask you to..daddy,i just wanna say a BIG thank you..I LOVE YOU!

To my greatest Mummy,

Firstly,before i can say anything..i salute to you..i dont care anyone of you thinks that your mummy is the greatest but my mummy is the best,greatest mum living on earth...some of my friends even wanna ask my mum to be their god-mum..Mummy..Thank you for providing me..When i went to SIM to study,i paid the entire sch fee..it has been tough for u..even till now,u will work extra hrs,find extra jobs just to bring more income to the family..although i have grown up,i still take care of me like a small boy.i really appriecate it..even when i serve my NS,u still help me to take care of my little things..there is too much for me to say about you..Mummy..just wanna say Thank you!im proud of u being my mummy...Tan Joel love you,super-mummy!

To both my parents,

Sorry that i have been unfilial to the both of you...i haven been spending good quality time with you..Just wanna say..Daddy,Mummy,I,Joel is proud to be your son...i will do my very best to serve the both of you..Daddy&mummy..I LOVE YOU

Finally...i got a full day for myself...rest at home..did what i always do before i went for ns..It has been some time i really spend time with God..God is real..Although times we cant see His hand,this is when faith comes in..basically for the past 2mths..i left like i am wondering around with my walk..Thank God for people that came and encourage me once again..once again,i will depend on Him again..not gonna think too much...not gonna question what He is doing in my life and my surrounding..I will start to believe in Him..no doubts...i got to understand abit of a revelation God showed me during my stay inside...i gonna be like David and not Saul..Not gonna run away from the problems or awkwardness..I was told not to run away or choose a simple option..(thanks!)Running away is a form of cowardly act..

Gonna head back to camp...

What kind of resources are actually precious to us?

During the high prices of oil,many people said oil is precious..

Some others said land and water are precious..

Most people will agree,time is the most precious..

But to me..Human is the most important..

Maybe living in sg for too long..i realise that human is the most precious resources...

Just don't know why..hated when people are wasting man power..for the past days(esp in camp)..they basically wasting alot of time and energy from us...employed too much man-power over a small thing...oh pls..can't just plan properly?wasted my whole day on friday...

Spend my night at ECP..and i realise that the cab fare is really ex..Always ask my friend to drive down but this time round decided to go there alone...enjoyed the sea breeze when i ponder over some thoughts

Have been thinking what will really last..we always want to build on things that will last..but what really last?

Things have changed and never be the same again...Is everything changing fast or am i slow to react?

Every phrase in life,there are always things to let go..but most people wants to hold on

Maybe the next 12days,i am able to let go of some things and continue walking

12days..life-changing period?we shall see

Gonna blog abit longer as i will be away for 12days..ha!

It's been a mth since i serve my NS..Ups and downs..Thank God,I joined the unfit squad..Make alot of funny cool friends..Most of them are trouble makers(not as in breaking the laws or rules)..We always try to find something to do so that we can let our instructors or just anyone to punish us...I know you may think we are crazy bunch of people(btw..my squad mates call me Ah siao because i can still smile when i am being punished) but we enjoy the times that we are punished together..think more of team building than punishment..Haha

So this week was one of the hell training week..esp on Wednesday night..i was just late by abit only(abt 10mins) and i was punished for 2 hrs straight...just 1 night,i did 1500 counts of 4 of jumping jet,sit-ups,push-ups with various styles,superman and runs..i lay totally flat on the ground after the 2hrs..went up to the room and my friends were like shock because they see me smiling..to me the punishment was all worth because i had a great evening before i book in..

Torturing continued on thurs and fri..so we came out with a phrase"The more wrongs we do,the stronger we become"(this only apply in my ns)..I am looking forward for more Physcial training..So FI,BRING IT ON!

So this week is my last weekend before my confinement of 12 days start..Looking forward to it but still apart of me draws back..Reasons?:Saw the time-table..still got training on sat and sun..and also personal reason..

If i speak positive to the 12days,i know i will get positive for the 12days..

Right now,gonna enjoy my weekend..

Thoughts

Felt that my weekends are super short..felt that i am so limited..how i wish i can have more time to spend with my friends..the feeling of wanting to stay but yet time doesnt allowed..just too hard for me to say i need to go and walk off..

So much uncertainty to excel,high expactation but yet i failed..really sorry

So much of my discipline of my emotion but yet it broke down yesterday

People may see me as a person that can make things happen but do i really make things happen?

oh well,gonna go..

really looking forward to this friday but sunday will just come by with a wink..

I am super blessed today..blessing after blessing after blessing..

Went to Chinatown in the morning to have my arm "fix"..haha..was bearing all the pain..super painful..couple of times i wanted to scream but because of "face",i controlled..since i was at Chinatown,decided to help my aunt out in the fruit stall..made a simple prayer to God that i dont wish to waste my day for today..got a msg from cynthia and i went to meet her..from that point,i felt God was planning my day..Had a great time talking and sharing with cynthia.for my soul,it is like going to a nxt level..just some simple talks about my life,the group was just awesome..when peiyang came,we shared even more things and it doesnt stop there,kelvin and weiyang came..and even deeper talks and sharing..It was the 1st blessing for the day..to be able to spend time with the leaders and helpers..weiyang,peiyang and i went JP while cynthia and kelvin went somewhere else..

Decided to watch Money Not Enough 2 with the 2 of them plus shyangzhi..bought the 6.50pm show..treat the both "yangs"..after i bought the tickets,i got a phone call from kelvin..had to make a decision fast..when i make the correct decision..my 2nd blessing came..decided to go for the leader's meeting..it is an opportunity for me..It cannot be bought.. the meeting was awesome..we didnt pray much..but it is the worship that impacted me..there was a depth of presence of God..it is so different from cgm..i am soaked in the presence of God..It is so deep that it is like i am swimming in the presence of God..a whole new level..Wow..man..the experience could not be describe by words..Depth is what God spoke to me about..too awesome..

Went home after a great supper with the CGLs...I learn alot of things from them..i just love to fellowship with them although i still have fears whenever i see cgls..haha..inspired again..i want to be surrounded by people that will help me grow or to grow with me..

Anw..i just felt led by the spirit to talk to this person who always inspire me time and again..This person is quite daring..haha.."slap" me in the relam of the spirit couple of times..haha..dont how to start the conversation as i know what is going on..jux some simple chats before i hit into the "real topic" and my 3rd blessing came..This person made me teared as we continued our conversation..i was super touched and moved..not gonna share too much..but..thank you so much(i know u will read)

Actually,i am not optimistic at first..When i walk out of the exam hall..i was super discouraged..didnt reply some of the msg-es,told 1 or 2 about my feeling..some of them encouraged me but words jux could get into my heart..decided to go swimming to release all the emotion out..weiyang called me whether i want to go for a swim..i agreed since they want to swim,then y not together..met some of peiyang's friends..they are really funny people..

So sth happen when i swim..i decided to vent my emotion all out..then i over exert myself and i dislocate my shoulder..super painful lah..i was doing my half a turn when i saw my own shoulder move out of place..so i immediately force it back and continue to swim..dumb rite..haha..after swimming a few laps..my arm could not hold the pain..so i stopped swimming..but weiyang has seen how fast i swim..He and jian hao said that i swim very fast(with the pain)..wahaha..Phelps in the making man..haha..Went to lazy river to relax and played catching..so funny..the way peiyang run is like a dinosaur...super funny..should video down..i laugh all the way and almost teared..

Had some talks with the brothers before i went back home..

Not very good start..but yeah..a good ending of the day

I decided to blog before i continue my revision..

They almost made me teared when i received some of the members msges..I am super touched

Just some simple msg like:You will do well,people prayed for me,to jiayou..It really encourages me..I was just praying and told God that these people are like fighting"war" with me..Having doubts about myself but yet people believes in me..God just reminded me how blessed i am to be in this cg and having this group of friends..
Talked to kelvin about this study-life i have..and we both agree that it is not just an ordinary 1 and a half years of school..but a journey..this journey is really tough but through it all,it will be my testimony..2times,i almost "died" in this journey..but God resurrect me back..so for this 3rd time..i believe He will do it again!!

so now..i gonna claim this...I AM GONNA GET THIS DIPLOMA!!

Thank God for W363,W279...Hey guys..u guys are the best!!

Woke up early in the morning to study...man..it's sure tough..

Not gonna let this small little matter affects me..is ok de..

A time race i gonna face today..but i have planned it all out..

The song "Sing about you" by CCC has been playing for the week in my mind after i introduced this song to Ayron..no idea why..but somehow i just feel peace..

ON THIS ALTAR I STAND
WITH MY HANDS LIFTED HIGH
I WANNA DRAW CLOSE TO YOU
YOUR JOY IN MY LIFE

JOIN WITH ALL THE ANGELS
SINGING SONGS OF PRAISE
I FEEL YOUR LOVE SURROUND ME
AND WASH THE FEARS AWAY

HOW I LOVE TO
HOW I LOVE TO SING ABOUT YOU
YOUR LOVE SHINES DOWN
HOW I LOVE TO
HOW I LOVE TO SING ABOUT YOU
YOUR PEACE FALLS DOWN

WHEN I SING ABOUT YOU
YOUR PEACE FALLS DOWN
HOLY, HOLY

Today is really a weird day for me...

No need for me to work..plus school ended rather early for me...was thinking what should i do with my time...rather wasting it plus there is not many places to go during day-time..i went to visit my grandparents..is been 2weeks since i last went to their house...talk to them and i had a great chit-chat session with them..family-ties are quite an important thing for me in my life..but still i have plenty of time in the afternoon...So i went gym to train up myself..It's been some time i go for work up...gonna train more often before i really suffer in ns...haha..Went for a swim afterwards...did all the drills that i could think off..and i am physically dead beat now...can feel the aching now..so basically i had exercise for 6 hrs...pleased with myself...

Went to ECP with a group of friends yesterday night..they had their own fun while i was enjoying the sea-breeze..did some soul-searching before joining them..

Just for thought:
There is a need to renew your mind daily..For the greatest battle in in the mind...Just a single negative thought is in the mind...it will just bring you down..

Quote for the day:

Decided to blog while waiting for my hair to get dry..

I had the best day today in this whole week...

Not having a good day for the past 3/4 day..wrote in my journal...anw..who cares man..haha

Had a very scrumptious dinner at Dempsey..Had alot of seafood plus some jap and chinese food..Fellowshipping with my family and some of their cg members...So after the whole dinner,it was abt 10+....So Joseph,my mum's cg member paid for the whole thing..so I tried to peek on the bill..to my astonishment..the total meal costs $1059...i was shocked..I tried looking for the decimal point and yes,there is a decimal point but it is after $1059...WOW!!thx joseph for the treat...Nv in my life i ate a $1059 meal in Sg..

They decided to go home and likewise my parents..Called a few friends to come down to Dempsey to chill out and they all agreed..thx guys...So we went to this place called the red dot...I chose there because i heard someone singing"Right here waiting for you"..She has a very nice voice..so decided to go there...Ordered some drinks and enjoying music..She sang alot of songs and i love it...I make some Caucasian friends over..so funny..So the singer was singing some fast song and this group of caucasian went to the front to dance..So we were sitting near to the front..they pulled some of us to dance...Abit shy at first..haha..but so what..since i go there to chill,why not?Dancing all the way...had alot of fun..So after everything..they treated us with 3 rounds of drinks...so generous rite..and i have no mercy on them...haha...they are really cool guys..After everything..i look at the time..i missed liverpool's 1st half..so i told them(my friends+the caucasian) to go other place to watch liverpool's match and they all just went..called my dad to watch with me too...We enjoyed ourselves so much...but the sad thing is i didnt ask abt their names and their contact no.haix...Love Caucasians now..but still a heart with Asian..will chill at red dot more often,if time allows...gonna post a pic with the singer soon

While looking at some peoples' blog...kelvin called me that he is in my office building...Stunned for awhile..haha..Quite surprise..REALLY..Had a good sharing from kelvin..and i caught this...it is not abt titles but impacting lives...I told myself that i will not touch the glory of God..because the glory is not in me but is in God..I want to see lives impacted...We need more "Kelvin"s to rise up man...and i want be the one...haha...Amen to that...Thank God that He put kel in my life...and i know it's God's plan...Kelvin will know my story..haha..From choosing a cg till now...WOW..God..You are changing me:)

2008-08-13T22:46:00.003+08:00

It's gonna be a looonngg post!!
For the past 3 days...it has been a good journey with God...walking under His grace daily..

Went morning PM on mon and today..and i can say it is getting better and better..Initially it is super hard for me...As i didnt went for the previous morning PM,i didnt know how was it like..So on Mon,i was kind of lost..I turn to weiyang and ask him what should i do now...He said just pray lor..I gave him a smile but in my heart,thinking:i only saw Pst praying on stage but not speaking from the stage...I thought it was a regular PM(before svc Pm or After svc Pm).And i realise,it is not just a PM but more of a morning devotion..I felt refreshed after every morning PM..God will give me a word daily for me..I was so amazed..Gonna read the bible even more often...

So on Mon...

Went for Morning PM...while the rest were enjoying themselves..i had to go to sch...Well,no choice...I thought it should be a public holiday man...Nvm...Went to Samuel's house to meet them up...And i wached 籃球火 ep3...super funny...i almost died of laughing and i need to control my laughter because samuel's parents are around...LZX was super in his facial expression...ok..enough abt him..after finish watching..played chess with weiyang..almost killed all my braincells...

Yesterday's meeting with pastor was an awesome one..Caught sth from Pst B-ang B-ang(cnt spell his name)..The passion that he had...wow...He stired me up to stand up for Pst kong..Like the armorbearer in sam14:7..Do all that is in your heart.Go then;here i am with you,according to your heart.All i want is to run with the vision of my leaders...Received the impartation from Pst..Believing God will use us in a greater way...After the sharing of Pst..Pst Kong wants to share with us...He shared with the men and women separately..During the guy's turn..Pst shared abt relationship..when he share,he is like a father talking to me...wow..haha..anw..i dont say this msg is not for me..this sharing is for me to prepare the future...Getting into relationship is not for me now..All i want is to serve God 100% during my youth...I am not waiting nor searching...I gave my life for this advanture to God...and at the correct time..i know my God will honour me back!!No hurry man haha..(Wisdom,commitment and Faith...thx kel)..Josh went over my place to sleepover..

Today...i struggled to go for the PM..Firstly,Thank God for Josh..Without the "kick"..i would have miss a powerful PM...Double-mindedness intially..But we can make a decision...God today reminded me abt ps42-43..and the 2 chapter really push me on for the entire day...Anw..back to work after PM...I really thank God that He shows mercy to His people...I did sth stupid today...because i completed my work super fast today..so i decided to check out the company's system...so look into the system and i thought i saw sth i can play with..IT IS A NO-NO to touch that...All because of this index finger i have...it click disconnect from the system...resulting a delection of a drive...A DRIVE NOT A FILE!! At that point of time..i was abit sleepy..but when i saw that..i was so awake the nxt moment..From the previous lesson i learn as i aso did move a folder,scolded by them and now...delection of a whole drive...So i start blaming this index finger of mine...but what so strange is this index finger actually brought back the drive...i have no ideal wad did my finger do..but it brought back the drive...PTL!!gave a kiss to my finger..They didnt realise that the drive was gone for 10mins...haha

Thank God for the Olympics and Michael Phelps..you guys must be wondering why am i right...I have been watching Michael Phelps from the 1st event to his current 5th event..whenever I see him swim..There is a urge to go back swimming and i realise my passion for swimming has not died but burried..But as i watched him swim,this feeling was so great that i cnt stand it anymore and i went to pray...As i pray,memories of my past flashes back...The passion i had for swimming..Challenging people with the age different of 5-6 yrs...(when i was jux 10yrs old)...I spend more hrs swimming than walking...I was enjoying this gloriest days of mine (ask me if u wanna know more).. but thinking God,y are you showing this to me? My God is simply too awesome...God spoke to me..Your passion will bring you far..but if your dreams are build in your hand,passion will die..but if you build your dreams in Me,your passion shall last...Stunned for a moment...but i cried out to God to ask Him to write this story of me...I dont want to be the author of this book..i want Jesus be the one...He is the author and finisher..Just a swimming event,God actually can speak to me through it...He has His ways man...Thank you Jesus..So Michael Phelps, congratz for breaking records,currently 5 gold medals with 5 new world records and becoming the greatest Olympic athlete in history..will continue to pray for you to win 8 gold medals this year...Team Singapore,you tried your best...Proud of Tao Li..

Super sleepy right now...Short post..think so..HA

This week past very quickly...Didnt spend time for myself..I know i gonna find some time for myself after i quit my job..finally!!opps..haha..Yup!!counting down to my last day to work..5 more days!!

Overnight at cynthia's place on fri was quite fun..I watched 2 movies in a night..slept at 6am and woke up at abt 10+am..Cg meeting was awesome..God assured me again..Need alot of assurance..Went to help out on sat,had fun but sleepy..chilled out for awhile at this very remote place at Dempsey...Had fun with Peiyang,Weiyang..so "pei he" me.

svc at 10am was a struggling to me...just couldnt get use to the timing..but Pst Tan preached a convicting msg for me..Thank God for that..Had lunch at NTU then travelled down to city hall to play pool..Gideon was like super pro lah..lose in the begining but i got back the touch..Went to watch the concert -"Special"..It was simply awesome..I didnt expect much from the concert at first..watched alot of musical production,all of it only touches my heart but not move my heart...but this was different..I was very touched and moved by it...As i watched the musical play, some question that i dont dare to face, pop up..Have been thinking the questions till right now..i left the hall thinking that it is just only a play...but is that really true in real life??..Asked 1 of the question that i am thinking to emily while walking home but she thinks i am playing with her...Well anw...cnt believe the play till i experience it myself..*sigh* but it really touches and moved my heart...

Oh well...gonna watch 蓝球火 now..it has been 4 days since i watched that..gonna let LZX to cheer me up again before i sleep...

2008-08-06T21:11:00.003+08:00

Wad a tiring day for me...haha..As usual..going work with my sleepy eyes,mind in a stand by mode till 12pm..when it's lunch-time!!Instead of working..i realise i kept dozing off through out the day..Need more sleeping time..Miss fellowshipping with my bed...LOL..

Again..LZX has made me laugh...For the past few days..he have been making me laugh..Really thank God for him..Although you are still not a christian,i am still doing my part everytime i watch you..We need to have a good laugh everyday man...

Still,daily surrendering in a part of my life...I decided to let go and let God...I know it's not the time..but man..it's jux hard...As i decided to let God, God remind me that i dont need to fight this "war" with my own strength..I will lose this fight of "war" if i am fighting it alone..The only way to win is to surrender..surrendering to God Himself..When i done my part,I know my God will do the rest..i really trust You in this area..

You are forever in my life
You see me through the seasons
Cover me with Your hand
And lead me in Your Righteousness

And I,Look to You
And I, Wait on You

I’ll sing to You Lord
A Hymn of love
For Your faithfulness to me
I’m carried in everlasting arms
You’ll never let me GO
Through it all

Hillsong-Through it all

After a long week, finally found some time to blog..

It's really a long 1 week..Alot of things happened..Good and Bad..Through the week, i really see God's grace and mercy in my life..His greatness..Thank God that He is using me to impact ppl's life..But still a long way for me..

FOP was simple too awesome to the max!!!It is really a festival of praise for me..Looking back for the past 8mths..God indeed changed me from inside out...Thank God for Pst Mark Conner..I shared some things to a few people and Pst Mark comfirm the things that i had said..I really thank God for that because i really pluging in to God..Pst Mark preached 2 powerful massages on sat and sun..I am blessed by his preaching of the God..Hope he will come back again to preach in our church...During Praise and worship,i give my all to God.i jump the highest i can,i shout the loudest i can..So fun.Thank you God...On sun while Peiyang,weiyang,shyangzhi and i were heading down to SIS,pei yang,wei yang and i shared our dreams...2 of them wants to be a guitarist and i as a pastor..We even go to the extend of acting it out..haha..At that moment..God spoke and reminded me a dream of Andrew...Andrew,edwin,dickson and i were once a bunch of that were on fire for God..Andrew had this vision that edwin and him will lead the cg in praise and worship and i as a cgl...Beacuse sth happened,this dream was burried..After 2 yrs,God raised this dream back into my life...I thank God for it..I thank God for a bunch of spirit-filled christian in my life...

To be truthful,this week was the one of my lousiest week ever...The week was like ups and down,everyday is so different...I wanna Thank God for this person..Dunno whether will the person read...It has been some time since someone wrote a card for me..That card the person wrote encourages me daily..whenever i flip my bible,i always see the card..At the top,it is written...Joel-MAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART-i recieved the card 3 weeks ago and daily it encourages me..If you are reading this..i wanna tell u sth...i treasure u alot as a friend..Stand up and be still...
I really love this cg..This cg taught me wad is love for one another,this cg taught me,no matter how young u are in christ,u still can be so on fire for God..

Today,still a not so good day at the begining...Studying in the morning,plus project work in the afternoon...When i went back home..a friend msg me...The msg is..how come u did not smile for the entire day?i was caught by that msg..I didnt even realise that i didnt smile the whole day...It is like i have forgotten how to smile...But God is good..I dunno whether is it God plan for me to reach home at 5pm to watch CHN U...Since it has been a long time i had watch Yu Le Bai Fen Bai..i decided to watch...I thank God for Luo Zhi Xiang..he actually make me laugh..and it's that type of loud laugh...Can i call this a common grace in working?Thank you LZX!!

Went SIM to revise some sch work with Cynthia,Pei yang,Gideon,Shyang Zhi..Had an enjoyable time..Yup!! Gonna mediate wad cynthia had msg me...

檫檫眼泪，在站起来

2008-07-30T23:03:00.008+08:00

God indeed is a good God...He has His reasons of why are we facing difficulty in life...

A continued emotion was with me from yst night till today's evening...With the additional of work load, it got worsen..As usual,i decided to pray while walking back home..When i prayed,i felt nth,nth at all..I went to a place where i usually will go up just to enjoy the breeze and looking at the sky..I went there and start praying...For no reason...my emotion starts to act once again...started to blame God,complaining of Him...Tears jux broke down...But things started to change after 10mins...I heard this voice...檫檫眼泪，然后再站起来...I turn around but there is no one there plus i know it is not a voice from outside...I did but i didnt stand up..God just speak into my heart and this are the exact words He said,that's my boy...
At that place,i commune with God..He told me this..when it comes to worship or commune with Him,we do not need to put on a mask..simply jux express out..if u need to cry out then cry out..
I ask a simple question..why am i facing so much from the emotion part...I got the ans..It is the area i need to deal and ask God to deal with it and indeed,now I know when should i let out my emotion and when i should not...I felt a breakthrough in this area..God deals with our weakness 1 by 1..and i know what is He going to deal in my life...area of my self-esteem..

I realise sth...I have a very low self-esteem,even though i thought i have...I also wanted to be like LZX..and God pointed out that is low self-esteem..Some may ask y...Simple...God has great plans for u then y do u need to be like someone else?That revelation opens up my mind..I am not going to be like LZX,i going to be what the bible says I am..

Spend abt 2hrs+ communing with God..Simply awesome...Jux before i head back home...God reminded me sth He spoke to me during the countdown at ECP...the same phrase..Trust in me,Prepare yourself..Joel..

Had our PM at Ayron's place..Super sick but i still decided that nth gonna stop me from this PM...

Some of us called Cynthia and really challenged by what Cynthia said..My first dream was brought in front of me again..Being a cgl or a pastor in the church..was super encouraged...but jux less than an hour,emotion starts to work again..I think i let my emotion ruled just now when some of us were walking home..
I thank God that i didnt blast out because my tongue is a double-edged sword..It either brings life or death..I chose life..If i blast out,it will only hurts us..
Had a slow walk home,after i parted with them...Thoughts begin to run through my mind..Am i really crafted out to be a cgl or a Pst?Do i really have wad it takes to be it?Do i really have the faith...Recalled what she said when walking home..she did make some sense..just felt abit disappointed in myself

Managed to find some time to blog...

Recovered from fever but caught a flu and still having fever...I think the fever feels that he is a friend of mine..BUT I AM NOT A FRIEND OF YOURS!...oh well..After 2yrs,i got my first 1mc..well,i will treat it as a rest day for me..I NEED REST...haha

Friday,25July

I had my most embarrassing moment in my life...As i was late to meet up to buy some bbq stuff,i supposed to meet Emily and Karuna at J.E Mrt station.They told me they were reaching IMM..So to honor their time...i decided to run..And who knows,as i run to the junction,i heard people shouting my name and guess what,Emily and Karuna were walking behind me...So pai seh lah..Went to eat at mos burger and meet Lum,shyang zhi's friend..Aso a bballer..As LZX new drama is gonna show i told them my new name:元大鹰..the name which LZX is called in that drama..gonna call myself:元大英...His younger brother...LOL..Went to Gaint to buy the BBQ stuff and i enjoyed shopping with them...had alot of fun!!From choosing the food(Karuna plays a huge part) till taking pics...FUN FUN FUN....Went to ayron's place to put the stuffs there.

Sat,26 July

I enjoyed but Pst Derek preached a powerful msg..I was so touched by the msg,that I decided to give my life 100% to this race...I am not going to treat this as a 200m dash but more of an enduring race...After svc,we went to watch "THE DARK KNIGHT"..the movie is simply AWESOME!! The emotion is there but need more action...i give it a 9 1/2 out of 10. I jux love the Joker...he rawks man..Heath Ledger sure has the emotion,expression to act as the Joker...He sure knows how to play the human's mind...But i caught sth..Even how corrupt the mind is..if you could use the heart to "think"..bad will still become good..and this is the part where the Joker could not touch or play with...

Sun,27 July

The BBQ was a success...dont know whether u enjoyed anot..but i enjoyed myself...had alot of fun..The starting part was super hard from me..It is not the guys who petrified..but the number of people at that place..it is like 30+? We expected a big group but I did not expected such a BIG group..After everything,i reflected on myself and realise how little my faith is...i was SUPER discouraged..but i did not let my emotion to control me..God reminded me this verse:

Matt 17:20
So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief;for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

Mon,28 July

I dragged my feet to school..I jux felt something is wrong with me...and i cnt figure out..so decided to head home...For no reason, i took out a thermometer and realised i had a fever, pop some painkiller and headed down to have a knee check..

Thinking back..Indeed..I got to give Thanks to God..for the past few days,it has been raining in the afternoon..but God made a way for us...I saw how God give me His grace and mercy.Whatever i ask in His name..He will surely give MORE..I LOVE YOU DADDY GOD AND JESUS!!Holy spirit..THANK YOU

Oh for more of LZX's Concert..will share more later...gonna catch some rest now...

Today,was 1 of the worst day in my life..think is due to the fever...
A very moody day for me...I slept during my working hours.well,i cnt help it since im still abit blur..i think i really woke up was like 2pm..For the whole day,i just feel like slacking..just wanna get more rest...

The worst part of today was after my work...I took a train down to JP to grab the latest album of Luo Zhi Xiang..The album was just abt his life..I wanted that badly...So i rushed down...Something very dramatic happen...I thought i was like acting is some hongkong series or taiwaness series...I bumped into this girl which was like 2yrs younger than me..(dont know bump into who),my bag drop onto the floor,nv pick still ok but at least should say a sorry rite?Then,nvm i went into the store and saw this same girl took LZX album. I ask the salesgirl whether is there any left and she say the last copy is on the girl's hand...It was a limited edition she told me...So depressed lah...Gave her a stare before i left and i was like hoping her to lose the album...Well,now i forgive her,and anw it is only a album...but i wanted it badly...Oh well...

Went home,wanting to fellowship with my parents but they were not at home...So i decided to check whether is there any new songs..looking for album that i should buy..Just surfing the net,i found this group called DayDream;album called Dreaming...I was like wad an unique group...When i listen to it...it was more on instrumental Pop...i fall in love straight with the music...It was like WOW!!i have broaden my love for music...gonna spend some money on this genre...

Oh well...gonna rest now...tata

Hmm..how should i blog...

Oh well, Thank God for the vocal exam...super nervous i will say...Didnt did my very best but an ok standard...I know i can do better..This afternoon,i heard BY2's song on the radio...quite surprised by them..Quite envy those who can come out with an album at such a young age..Just wondering how can i improve and be like them...always wanted to enter in the entertainment world but whenever i tried entering,i will bounce back...is like someone keep slaming shut the door whenever i tried to enter...is that a sign that i should not enter in or is it not the time yet?Never know..

Had a long day at work...super tiring..but walk back home when i reached boon lay..While walking home,i walked past the swimming complex and saw some rocks...I thought it was a rock..it looks really hard and big too...so i decided to stand on it to see whether i could balance myself(in the 1st place,i didnt know y i want to stand on that rock).As i took the 1st step,the whole rock was crashed.Then i realise it is not a rock but alot of sand that already harden..I was reminded of something...That rock reflects about my life...although i look"hard"on the outside,i was actually soft in the inside.With some pressure,it started to crashed,breakdown...Looks everything is alright in the outside yet the inside of me was not strong enough..Still letting the emotion to take control me..I pointed the rock and told God to take me strong again and not to end up like the rock which cant take pressure...

Reached home then realise i had a slight fever...sleep till 10pm...got a msg from a bunch of friends..Gonna meet them up at midnight...going ECP later to chill out....

I must say, this week was a rough tough week for me. Got to deal with my emotion, physically and mentally. Thank God He see me thru.I was reminded Ps23:4.But the weekend was simply great for me. A great msg preached by Pst Kong. I desire to pray not just loud but with spiritual stamina.After service, we went down to fetch Kelvin back from TAIWAN. He shared with us about the degree of the passion the Taiwanese had for God. A part of my heart is in Taiwan so Thank God for all the great reports.Fellowship awhile and we headed back home.

The jounery took us more than 4hrs to reach home,because we missed the last train.Really got to blame on the laziness part,but who will want to stand from the far east to the far west. Plus some of us were tired.Thank God that He turn things around, we had some fun fellowshipping with one another.Finally, the DIVA within lokies has come out. Has been a long time since he acted that way.HAHA.Took a Night Rider home.

Sunday cg was too awesome. Worship God before i went for cg. For no reason, my mum played "Captivated". Presence of God just came as daddy,mummy and i were worshipping. Before we worship,all of us were busy doing our own things.Daddy iron the clothes, mummying sweeping and i printing the song sheets. As we worship, i caught something, in the midst of our busyness,if we would put aside all the things, God can still come. I was like WOW. I rushed out after that as i am late to meet weiyang. While walking pass some flats, i heard some were having cg. Every sunday i will walk pass the flat but didnt notice any cg in my neighbourhood. And i felt a prompting from the Holy spirit that He just want me to enjoy the cg. my reaction was..erm...ok..
Indeed,cgm was amazing.I was reminded of all the promises i had promised to God.EVEN THE LITTLE ONES.He really do hear us. Tears began to flow.Just too awesome...Thank You God...
After that,went to play at the playground.Childhood memory came back...really do enjoy...

2weeks just pass like that.Really thank God that I can learn SO much from w279...friendship was bond...they are really a group of fun but yet serious with God people...

Got to rest now...tml is a big day for me..a vocal/music exam..After the lokies' performance on friday,he stirs me up..I desire to perform...*looking forward for the exam* =)
