haha i just printed out 28 pages of stuff to read. and learn how to play the guitar! (:

not that i have a guitar now, but hey, i believe i will have one by the end of this year.

God will provide ;)

P.S. lol, kinoon asked me to look at some of the Taylor 800 series guitars. nearly freaked out when i saw the price. >.<

do i want to be a normal Christian?

or do i want to be a radical one?

for God to use mightily, to lead people to Christ?
to support my Pastors and leaders?
to bring people to the point where they know that God is real, and can't deny it anymore?




i know i want to be the second type of Christian.

i know my destiny in God is great, if and only if i change.

my character must be moulded by God more.
i need to change my character, and this change can only be brought about by God.



Psalm 41
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1 Blessed is he who considers the poor;
The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
2 The LORD will preserve him and keep him alive,
And he will be blessed on the earth;
You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
3 The LORD will strengthen him on his bed of illness;
You will sustain him on his sickbed.

4 I said, “LORD, be merciful to me;
Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”
5 My enemies speak evil of me:
“When will he die, and his name perish?”
6 And if he comes to see me, he speaks lies;
His heart gathers iniquity to itself;
When he goes out, he tells it.

7 All who hate me whisper together against me;
Against me they devise my hurt.
8 “An evil disease,” they say, “clings to him.
And now that he lies down, he will rise up no more.”
9 Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted,
Who ate my bread,
Has lifted up his heel against me.

10 But You, O LORD, be merciful to me, and raise me up,
That I may repay them.
11 By this I know that You are well pleased with me,
Because my enemy does not triumph over me.
12 As for me, You uphold me in my integrity,
And set me before Your face forever.

13 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel
From everlasting to everlasting!
Amen and Amen.

whoa, last week was really a power-packed weekend! went to church bright and early after my tuition on saturday, then met kelvin and colin from d1! kelvin came early because he thought the getting started Bible studies was on, and was telling colin that he couldn't make it cos he is meeting kevin and some of his friends he's bringing to church, and colin agreed! LOL in the end when kelvin found out that there was no classes that weekend, he was like "chey! i thought why suddenly you (colin) so lenient!" haha super funny!

colin was busy after that, so i went down with kelvin to meet the rest of the people! in the end i met like super a lot of new people, and others i've not talked to for a long time, like kevin, viknesh, clara, abigail, alan, and more lol! cannot remember all their names now.. met this new friend called beth too! she's also learning japanese! haha..

anyways, service was amazing! Pastor Ed King was really really very good, and could really feel the presence of God.. it was basically about living under the cover which God has prepared for us, our local church.. and for me, that means heart of God church! xD after service, went to hang out with my fellow d8ians, haha it's been such a long time since we really sat down, talked nonsense and joked!

my latest joke: you want to watch the dark knight? don't waste so much money, just go to the window at night! :D

hahas anyway, early sunday morning i went to buy breakfast (though my mom paid lol) for my whole family, including my aunt and my grandparents! we visited them early in the morning and just really talked to each other for a while.. after that my dad had to leave for work (YES ON SUNDAY! o_0;;), and my mom was meeting her sister (my aunt too! LOL) to do some banking stuff, so we left for the OCBC bank at bedok.. After everything was done we went to have a McDonald's lunch before i cheong-ed down to church for service prayer meeting haha.. reached just in time (:

service with Pastor Troy Marshall was very good too! authority, order, function, blessing! it has to go in this order!

wan chin came for service too!! must blog about her la, haha! shuyi, cavin, daniel, her and i were at kopitiam after service, then we were like just talking while she was studying.. then shuyi decided to test wan chin on chem! haha, even though she couldn't answer some of the questions, she was like "oh no, i don't know this, i must go study!" haha, zai right! i remember last time i'd go, "aiyah dunno la, nvm i shall study something else" =X love to learn!!

haha, i was supposed to finish this post in camp!! but today in camp was quite exciting too LOL.. i was chatting with wenqi on ebuddy when suddenly THE FIRE ALARM WENT OFF!! it was super funny, cos i hurriedly said fire alarm LOL to wenqi, then went off.. turned out that it wasn't really a drill, and there was really some trouble, so the fire engines came and everything.. turned out that there wasn't really a big fire, so we could go back after a while.. in the end the fire alarm went off again, so down we went again, only to realise it was ANOTHER FALSE ALARM. sian right!!?? then went to gym and had very bad muscle cramps.. too little exercise for too long =X

FOP this week! super excited, i'm going to be on usher!! lol!! ok i better end off now.. otherwise goodness knows how much longer it'll take LOL

lol, went blog-hopping again, and this time i found several blog shop sites.. and decided to bookmark them in my blog lol..

but boy, am i tired. >.< *snore* can't wait for the weekend. it's going to be amazing. (:

tired ah.. lol, spent much of the afternoon clearing out and tidying my super messy storeroom in camp, lol.. realised that i got too much stuff! i've like 200+ rolls of masking tape, dunno how many files and all that! it's really crazy LOL.. was super tired before doing all that, but when i was actually doing the clearing, i was laughing so much i was quite awake.. now's a different story though..

and i've still got tuition later! >>;

this is so not supposed to be the case man! i slept 7 hours yesterday! people like dominic and charleston sleep less than 5!

AE this year is super exciting lol.. i just wish i was taking my o or a levels again lOl..

can't really think of what to blog, cos there're just so many different thoughts running through my head.. but believe me, they're good thoughts.. thoughts that build my Faith, that change my Character..

to learn from wenqi: 馬 太 福 音 19:14

耶 稣 说 ： 让 小 孩 子 到 我 这 里 来 ， 不 要 禁 止 他 们 ； 因 为 在 天 国 的 ， 正 是 这 样 的 人 。

God treasures child-like Faith. like the Faith you had in God when you were first touched by God, impacted by Him..

being a child for Christ

i'm all ready to go home after a short long afternoon at work, but HEY it's RAINING!!!

argh!! lol.. aiyah, but today had quite a short day at work.. in the morning i had a dental appointment which was at 10.30, so i left home like at around 9 plus to take a bus travelling through tampines, simei, bedok, katong, bugis, chinatown all the way to SGH! and i was still on time! haha.. plus i woke up at 7.30, when usually i'm supposed to be in camp at 8! lol! super shiok..

after that i took another slow bus back to camp, reached about 12 plus haha.. then went for lunch, did some work, then went blog-hopping again lol..

ecclesiastes is really interesting.. lol..

can't wait for the rest of this exciting week man! CG tomorrow, sound lesson on thursday night, then services on friday, saturday and sound foldback on sunday! WOO HOO! haha!

i'm running after You :D

went blog-hopping for much of the morning, haha.. just randomly linked from one blog to another and just enjoyed myself reading all the blogs and entries.. so many people from so many different walks of lives, coming together for God, to build His kingdom, to live for His cause..

woohoo man!! lol..

i don't know if you can feel the excitement, but i'm really really excited! yes, there're definitely going to be mundane periods like now when i'm in army especially!, but i know i'm part of the relay to do something great for God!

really blessed by ivan's sharing on saturday haha.. and for the first time, i finally can spell ecclesiastes without errors, and know how to pronounce it too, lol.. yeah, i know i WOLS =X

but really, i'm really inspired by a lot of the sharing that i've had for the past few months.. i remember during B.M.T. not BMT how God was telling me to let the worship of my heart catch up with the works of my hands (though i wasn't really doing that much compared to my leaders and most of my peers).. i remember how during the zone hangout in june God reassured me that He will renew my strength if i wait on Him Isaiah 40:31, and that in Him, i can find rest Matthew 11:29.. i remember in one of the Zone F services, where dominic preached about how Christian life is not only about the fireworks, but also about the mundane in our lives, and how it is through this mundane periods of our life when our character is shaped..

Christianity is not about how only about how we end, but it's about how we live through each day.. it's not about how much you have done for God, but how much you have obeyed God.. obedience, not sacrifice..

resolution! to live my life for Christ. to be a generation that pure and holy, that is competent and successful, of leaders, of great and godly families, of missionaries, of volunteers.. more than this, i want to build a WORLD CLASS CHURCH in a first world nation with a FIRST CLASS SPIRITUAL ATMOSPHERE, together with my Pastors and leaders. and on top of this, i just want to fear God, and obey His commandments. (:(:(:

whew! finally found the reason why i couldn't post a new blogskin, hah.. but made it! not exactly the blogskin i have in mind now, but i'll have to wait till i can find that picture.. if anyone will know what i am talking about, it's the one with the beach scene, then there're some footsteps on the sand.. initially there were two sets of footprints, but further down the road there were only one set left.. there's a story behind this picture, which i'll post when i get my next layout! (:

but everything's up and running, and so yays!

attitude! it's a choice man :D when something negative happens to you, do you choose to deny and have a black face? or to say it's your fault and rectify the error with a humbled face? i need to learn to lean more towards the second side mans >.<

it's friday!!! the weekend's gonna be awesome! D8's gonna explode! :D:D:D
