People to be tagged:

randomly did a search for Asia Conference 2010 because i wanted to block out the dates for it in my calendar first (super kiasu right? LOL, i'm not singaporean for nothing!).. and found quite a few blogs posting about it already!!

haha basically i took 3 days leave last week to go for this super amazing Asia Conference! it was really a super mind-blowing event, and i felt that learnt so much, grown so much!

1st day: i signed up to serve on usher for the first three days, so on the first day i reported at expo at around 9 plus.. it was quite cool, since i've never tried serving as an usher in my own church before, and here i am serving in Asia Conference haha.. in the morning i was outside garden bliss restaurant, greeting the Pastors and leaders as they made their way to the welcome luncheon. it was quite fun being able just to be there to greet them haha.. =P

had a quick lunch before going to usher for the electives, specifically the art of worship leading! lol, annabel and alison were conducting the elective, and i sneaked in to listen for bits and pieces haha.. went to take a look at Pastor How conducting the effective evangelism elective, Pst Abraham from taiwan giving the same elective in chinese, and also the being a good PA to the Pastor elective. :P haha..

during the evening i was ushering at the foyer 2 area, where almost everyone will pass by on their way to hall 8 from the train or bus.. it was quite funny ushering there, cos of all the people who walk by, and making mistakes here and there which luckily was only known to some of the ushers haha..

oh forgot to mention one thing! as we were ushering with the CHC ushers, we struck up conversations la.. and when i asked how old do some of the ushers think i am, they said i was 16! (ok la, only 2 ushers said that, and i only asked 2 ushers LOL)

day 2: ushering again, so went to expo to meet up with the ushers at 0715!! was tasked to do internal traffic at the main entrance area, which meant that i would see everyone who walks into hall 8! it was quite confusing at first, because even though i knew what the ushers meant by "echo CTE 1" etc, i had to be able to flow the people quickly to the right area.. and i was the only hoGc usher around! lol.. but the CHC ushers really guided me and everything, and after that it was still ok la haha..

met my CG!! haha, shuyi, cavin, gerald, julius, henry, dengyao all came, and had a brief greeting with them before they moved on.. stayed in the hall during the two morning sessions, one with Pst Phil Pringle and the other with Pst Ulf Ekman. Both had different styles, but I really enjoyed both of them sermons!

ended up ushering for only half day before i left to meet my CG at the MRT station to go to Changi Airport for lunch! went to T3 for the first time, ate the western food in the food court there which was really nice, and gobbled up the chng teng also haha.. went back to expo for Pst Tan's elective, then went to eat dinner at hall 7.. then went back again for a last session that night, which was really mind-blowing!

3rd day: it was basically the same thing again, went early for the morning sessions, but hey! i wasn't ushering! and in the afternoon i went to tampines mall to watch madagascar 2 with shuyi, cavin, milton and wilson! went to din tai fung to eat xiao long bao after that.. we only ordered xiao long bao! lol.. after that shuyi, milton, wilson and us began to play magic the gathering LOL..

went back again to expo for the night session with Pst Kong.. he preached a really powerful sermon that night, and even though we were in the overflow, the presence of God was still so strong (:

4th day: didn't go for Asia Conference because we had combined service in our church.. met up with shuyi and gerald first, then after that we went down to meet wilson and daniel to... play magic again! lol, we're becoming a magic CG.. milton joined us after that, then we went up for service and sat at the back, which was arranged in quite a weird way, but was arranged that way so that we can have space to jump during praise and worship, yet will be able to see the stage and screens properly..

we had C3 band with us! it was so cool, listening to some of the songs that we do in our own services being performed live by the original band! Pastor How then preached a powerful sermon that no doubt left many impacted and motivated to do more for the next generation..

5th day: woke up early in the morning to go for the 0830 prayer meeting before the morning session of the last day of Asia Conference.. wanted to go and pray for the service, and also to book seats for the ordination ceremony later, because Pastor How was going to be ordained as a Reverend! haha, have to support my Pastor man! had a great session with Pst Phil Pringle after that, then went to the airport for lunch again haha.. went back in time for the very very last session, but couldn't make it into the hall 8, so we just got some of the best seats in hall 7.. the last session was with Dr A R Bernard, and i left the service feeling really changed, because i felt God really spoken to me in a miraculous way, and really, i know what i'm called to do, at least for this period of time!

it was really a great experience, going for Asia Conference, learning so much from the men of God.. can't wait for Asia Conference 2010 man! woo!~

The God I Know - CHC

When the stage is bare tonight
There’s no one else
Just You and me
When the curtains close behind
There’s no pretense
I’m on my knees

I will lay down my all
For there’s no greater cause
Than You my Lord
It’s all because of You
It’s all because of You

The God I know
Glorious and holy
The God I know
Is faithful and true
The God I know
A tower of refuge
Hearts are healed
Christ revealed

The God I know
Light of this city
The God I know
Strengthens the weak
The God I know
Is strong and mighty
As He is, so are we

Holy Holy
Is our God
Is our God

The church He knows
Glorious and holy
The church He knows
Is faithful and true
The church He knows
A tower of refuge
Hearts are healed
Christ revealed

The church He knows
Light of this city
The church He knows
Strengthens the weak
The church He knows
Is strong and mighty
As He is, so are we

ok, i'm going to start this post by explaining why i chose that title:

An Italian, a Scotsman and a Chinese man, are hired at a Construction site. The foreman points out a huge pile of sand.

He says to the Italian guy, "You're in charge of sweeping."

To the Scotsman he says, "You're in charge of shoveling."

And to the Chinese guy, "You're in charge of supplies."

He then says, "Now, I have to leave for a little while. I expect you men to make a dent in that pile of sand."

So when the foreman returns after being away for a couple of hours the pile of sand is untouched.

He asks the Italian, "Why didn't you sweep any of it?"

The Italian replies, "I no hava no broom. You saida to the Chinesea fella that he a wasa ina charge of supplies, but he hasa disappeared and I no coulda finda him nowhere."

Then the foreman turns to the Scotsman and says "And you, I thought I told you to shovel this pile."

The Scotsman replies, "Aye, that ye did laddie, boot ah could nae get meself a shoovel. Ye left th' Chinese gadgie in chairge of supplies, boot ah couldna fin' him neither."

The foreman is really angry now. He storms off toward the pile of sand to look for the Chinese gent.

Just then, the Chinese man leaps out from behind the pile of sand and yells, "SUPPLIES!!!!"

now that that is over, let me tell you the supplies.. i called starhub yesterday to ask about three things: (1) when my current contract is ending, (2) when they're going to ship in the iPhone and (3) whether i'm eligible for a starhub voucher if i decide to recontract.. starhub management must be very worried that i'll jump to singtel, because they just called me to say that (1) yes, i'm eligible for a recontract voucher and (2) they're going to waive off the early termination charge for my current contract! sneaky starhub lol..

so i'm going to get a new phone sooner than expected, which means that i dun have the time to save up the moolah yet haha.. lucky i got some savings beforehand :P

i won't be able to get an iphone after all. starhub's not going to get it in for its customers, and i don't want to sign a singtel plan, so that's that for now.. my new phone target:


cool right? haha.. but that probably means that somehow or another i'll get a



or a





crazy eh.

recently 4D-ed a new macbook (thanks joyce!) can't wait to get it man..





something has been bugging my heart for the longest of time.. something needs to change, something needs to budge.. a fire needs to start burning, needs to be kept burning for change..

have been busy the past few days.. went for combined service on saturday, then had a mini-CG after that.. it was a powerful service, really ministered to me, and really showed me where i need to go on from now on.. mini-CG was great too, just felt the whole CG has now grown closer to each other, as though each one of us broke an invisible barrier which we have always presented to people, both in- and outside church.. (:
