today is so amazing.
started out strong with a prayer meeting during heart to heart session with Ivan. it was so powerful, despite the loud sounds of the jet planes. but i felt God telling me, we should be like the jet planes. we should be precise and accurate, fast to do anything, and at the same time, make a lot of noise and let others know we are in the house!! i'm totally amazed! :)
then i went to prepare for my testimony! it was great! something Maril said that i felt really strongly for. she said there, when you share testimony, it's not about you being scared or anything, but it's about that 1 life that's going to be changed by your testimony! so trueee! :) yup. so as i was preparing and everything, there wasn't much changes to be made. Rinnah was there with me and i kept looking at her and smiling! ahhaa. :)
worship was great today. yet another level. treasure Jesus' love because he died for us, there was blood on his hands. sharing testimony for the first time was pretty scary. but, in all, it was pretty good. then, Pastor Lia preached. it WILL be by faith that we all shall walk. Hebrews 11, will your name be there? lets fill Hebrews 11 with our names. :)
after service, Ivan brought me and jordan to a corner, and shared a few things with us. it totally broke my heart to see what i've become. i'm sorry, Jordan. i promise you it will never never NEVER happen again! we will become brothers like once before! :) awesome. awesome. awesome.
shared for main service this time around, but it didn't feel as scary as before! ahah maybe it was because that it was my 2nd time doing already! as i came down from the stage, i saw Pastor How giving me a thumbs up! wow, that really assured me! :)
i left halfway during the 2nd worship, as i thought Ivan's going bugis with the rest of Zone F. but in the end, we played monopoly in the art gallery! there was Ivan, Cheryl, Jordan, Nictan, Leona, Wenqian, Priscilla and Shini. it was so super funny! they were playing and everything, and even though Cheryl & i were in the game, most of the time we were in the world of our own, laughing to ourselves and disturbing each other! it was so funny! :) yup yup, we did make alot of noise, but, we are ZONE F MAN!!!
after service, they screened GXT latest productions again. it was amazing. so funny! and the rest was all the routine stuff. so great to be in church! :) awesome yo!
goodnight and take care all!

a walk down memory lane.
so much happening stuff now.
as i walked into gongshang, there's just that sense of belonging. our much beloved school. to think that i used to hate school. now, there's such a deep longing to want to come back to gongshang. many people have changed, some for the better, some otherwise.
so scary, how drastically they can change over a short period of time. as i walked through school and everything, i thought of the things that i was doing last time, and how i hated it. so true that we will only treasure things when they perish. why must it always be this way? thought about a few things while walking around school. some things really impacted me. sometimes, it's times like these that really allows us to think about our lives.
went to meet my teachers. felt really good to talk to them once again. teachers teachers. how awesome are they?! people that really care about your life. if i could choose my teachers all over again, without a doubt, i would choose these people! :)
friends. so awesome. what to do without these people? it feels so good to talk to a few people heart to heart, getting to know what's on their minds. somehow those that were close to in the past became distant to me, while those distant to me, shared heart with me. how ironic. they need Christ!
it feels good to play old school soccer with old friends. even though we haven't played together for a very long time, there's this trust that's built in us between us. even though we make mistakes once in a while, there's no doubt we will be back even stronger! that's how with God. even though at times, we don't see God moving in our lives, we still have to trust and believe in him. that's when faith comes in and without faith it is impossible to please God!
today was amazing. tomorrow's going to be even better! going shopping with kenn tmr! need some new clothes cos i'm sharing testimony on saturday! :) yup. playing heart of worship for cg, and sharing annoucements too!
good night all! take care :)

Ivan had his napfa today, but sian! he failed his pull-ups! argh! let's all begin to start praying for Ivan in our quiet time! :) i believe you are going to get gold, Ivan!! :)
today's lesson was rather mundane. i slept throughout the 1 hour in chinese class, others were fine i guess. then i went to for training & everything. at the end of training, my coach refused to let me quit rugby! -_- he told me that he could reduce my training schedule, allow me not to come for training if i had a letter. ...? i rather quit la. -_- sian. mannn!
anyway, tomorrow school ends at 12. pretty good i guess. going to find Ivan in church tomorrow as usual, learn lights from howteng as usual. yup. i'm playing for cg on friday! wooo! :) playing heart of worship! that's right, let's all come back to the heart of worship. worship is more than just singing a song, more than just loving the song, it's a surrender to God, telling him how much we love him, how much we need him. let our worship be more than words deep, let it mean from our hearts.
i'm going to restring my guitar now! ahha! good night all! :)

had lights training today. whoa it was quite tough, learning all the power, voltages, currents and wattages. but it was quite fruitful ahha. then Yassy came to share with us what's light ministry's purpose. it was powerful and all, but i just felt. maybe what Ivan shared with me last thursday was correct. yup, i think you're right, Ivan :) ahaha. yea munxz. after that, lunched with my usual friends, hanged out at the lights console, watching Wei Hong play on the guitar and sing. whoa can i tell you that his super talented la. awesome guitarist, awesome voice. it just feels so good to see him play and sing :) hehe. yea, i was at the lights console, trying to learn from howteng and cheang. ahaha.
service today was awesome. worship was great. and as we worship, we build Your throne O Lord. it's the presence like these that keeps us going forward, keeping us strong. what a intangible feeling, but yet so peaceful, so soothing. we gotta take control of our will! yea man. our will. let our will be inlined with God's will. Your kingdom come, Your will be done, here on earth as it is in heaven. yeaaa! powerful message, powerpacked service.
after that, we had Pastor How's birthday celebration. it was totally an awesome celebration. though it was super funny, it was very touching also. i just wanna take this opportunity to wish Pastor How a very happy birthday, thank you for building Heart of God Church, a place where dreams are being built, relationships are being borne, and a place where people can call home. :) thank you Pastor How!!!! :) awesome day today. got school tomorrow man. and worst still, training. O Lord, give me strength to persevere! :)
good night all!

today Dom shared with us doing discipleship class that we have to build our spirit man. truly, how are we going to lead our sheep closer to God when they are closer to God than we already are? build build build! gotta read our bible more, pray more and just change to be more Christ-like. how awesome is it going to be when one day you are asked to pray for someone whom you totally don't know, but spoke right into their lives, a rhema word for them. how cool is that?!
what can i say? zone f's service today was mind blowing. Pastor Lia was preaching about having a revelation of sin. how true it that! how can we live, taking our salvation for granted? although salvation is free, it is definitely not cheap. Jesus gave his all to redeem us! it was so powerful man. it will just get better and better from today onwards, cos we all will have the revelation of sin.
it was especially powerful towards the end. it was amazing. totally. the presence was so thick. many cried in His presence. Pastor Lia prayed and many fell under the power of God. what a wonderful sight. grow and become a generation that seeks! grow!
after hanging out in children church for a while, i got to know more of the cch people. just can't for them to come over to zone f. can't wait especially for wayne frm cch to come over. he is just so powerful! :)
heart fest is coming! so lets have september 4th, thursday free man! zone f is going to have alot of fun! :) come hang out with us! it's from 1-6pm in HoGC :) yeaaa! tmr i'm going to have lights training, and i know it's going to be awesome hehe! grow in skills! yea man :)
good night all :)

hehe. hello everyone! i just had an awesome day today!!! :) how was yours?
firstly, i had heart to heart session with ivan where he talked more about responsibility! gotta be responsible in whatever we do man. be accountable not just to our leaders, but to God as well! :) though we are imperfect, we gotta do everything in our power to do it God's way man! for God is the way, the truth, and the life :) annnnnnnnnd! please don't be a hypocrite and have double standards! be the person you are at home, school and at church! be responsible for our point B, it's not going to be spoon-fed already man. yeaaaaa! it was amazing. i was look forward to heart to heart sessions with ivan :)
then, i played street fighter vs x-men against chap biao, lumbin, and some other people! man it's like the funniest game even though it's so old school! we are into retro-ness man :D
so yea, after that, i went to find Cleon! he was at the bus stop early man! his just... awesome la! man i pray that something will change in his heart as ivan meets him for follow up lesson 4! change his heart O Lord. change it to your frequency! then we will have 1 more person, planted in F23! then we still have Sean, CK, Kenneth, all these people man! grow grow grow! expand me to a leader of 10! :)
after that, we had our usual lunch and stuff with the F2 and F1 peeps. hehe. it's these kind of stuff that keeps us going forward, doing life together. i wonder how many of us will look back 10 years down the road, at times like these when we did life together. let me tell you, i definitely would! :D
then finally for ZONE F!!! we had Cheryl and Randyne leading games for the first time! whoa, can i tell you that his just super super zai! :) and so, we played the shoe game! ahah it was super super fun man! we stole shoes from other teams, defended our own! man Chun Kit and i were the best attackers man! we pulled Kenn's leg and Brian's leg! LOL. then we stole many of their shoes! we rock, Chun Kit! hi-5! :)
i just feel, our praise and worship is just getting stronger each week! just so awesome man. anddddd i LOVE. <---- seriously LOVE praising and worshipping God with Chun Kit! i don't know, but there's just something different about him! i love hanging around him like how i love hanging around IVAN! :) yea mannnnn! hehhe. Lord give us clean hands and a pure heart! let us be a generation that seeks you face! anyway, cheryl had a joke for this song. it was funny and jian hong was slow in response! ahaha we were all laughing away! it was so funny. message was great by Jian Ming! if we fail to plan, we plan to fail! that's so true!
- Position- gotta position ourselves in Christ man! know our authority!
- Purpose- know our purpose! it's the great commission. make disciples of all nations! EVANGELISM!
- Plan- it's not just pure talk and all. action is needed! plan plan plan!
after zone f, i hung out with the cch people. man can i tell you they are so amazing? for example weizhe. his only 10, but he is already integrating people into cch!!!! come on guys! if weizhe can do it, so can you! this tells us not to despise the youths! gogo weizhe! :) besides him, there's wayne! ahaha, the cch wayne. his awesome too la! can't wait for them to be in zone f :)
main service!!!! yea man. 41st day was on worship team, and it was great man :) seeing Pastor Lia leading worship. WOOOO! also, Pastor How preached even though he broke his Achilles tendon! ouch man! so let's all pray for Pastor How for a speedy recovery and everything to go back as per normal! and maybe
PREACH in the
OLYMPICS! ahahha! :) it was a great message. we need to half self-leadership, control our emotions and thoughts, and chasing that elephant parking in our minds :) coolio!
did our usual stuff after service. then i played games with Asmond leading! man can i tell you his super funny!!! we played whacko, extreme chop chilli chop, and "honey i love you, would you smile for me please?" HAHAHH! the last game was totally hilarious! if you were'nt there, you totally missed out on a whole lot of laughter! xD LYNETTE! it was FUNNY! all i did was my trademark signature copyright move and you laughed! i haven't even "chu jue zao" xD ahahha! man it was great laaa! tonight was terrific! i love church people!
after all that, how i wished to be sleeping and resting! but KS offered to send us home! whoa Auntie YanPing is just so kind! she so kinnnnnnnd! thank you Auntie YanPing for sending us home! :) yup. so this is my day for you. pretty exciting eh? imma learn lights from Melvin personally! chiong ah! i'm quite quite quite sure i will do for zone F before you go army, Ivan!!!! :)

past few days has been a chore, and rather meaningless. ahaha. today's cg was exactly what i needed!!!
my past few days was crap. my exam results weren't up to my expectations, and i totally had to mood to do anything. i slept at 8+pm for 2 nights already. man that's super unfruitful!! gotta live my life right man i told myself. today's cg was totally amazing. :)
Cheryl preached on having faith and everything. just the usual faith sermon. but before cg, we played street fighter!!! man it was so super fun! even cheryl said that it was fun man! :) so yea, after that, before cg started, we had mats on the floor, beside us, representing people! man i could already see Cleon, Sean, Kenneth, JT in F23 already. it was such an amazing sight! faith was building up, im regaining my momentum! gosh. it was great great greato! then we talked about our new friends, and i shared a little more about Sean. Sean! you're always on my mind even though i don't see you as often as before man!!! :) yea. worship was great, offering was cool. then when cg was about to end, Cheryl surprised me by asking me to close in prayer! haha. i think i did pretty well, and Cheryl confirmed it! hehe. yea man. i don't know why, but i think this is my spiritual waterstop. refilled, refreshed, recharged. ready to take the world yo! yup
and so ivan's going to army in ard 4.5 weeks time. it's simply too fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm gonna miss him sooooo much i tell you. like soooooooo much. i think i'm going to chiong lights now. before you go to army, i'm going show you 1 service of lights man! i hope i'm able to do that! yeaaaaaa! :) i'm learning from brian tmr at 6pm! hehe hopefully i'm able to grasp everything! WOO! chiong ah!

ahaha. so i was one of the few SA people that went to school today! but anyway, they missed out man.
there was boxing in school, i mean like the real thing! whoa one of the matches, it was so hiong until one of the guys bled man. gosh! and then, there was teachers vs saints' soccer team! it was HILARIOUS la!!! so funny how the teachers play, but even though, man! they "bao dao wei lao" keep the knife until old <--- direct translation LOL. ahha yea, but in the end, saints' soccer team won! yea man! they are the best!
after that, it was the usual routine of soccer and slackin'. went hosp, and hung out in church. today, ivan showed us a movie, remembering the titans. whoa it was awesome la!! a movie really featuring teamwork, and more importantly to me, managing that anger, harnessing it into something more, more powerful. a more powerful drive for my destiny! thanks ivan! it was really awesome :) man. its like, only 5 more weeks then you gotta head for army! gosh, i'll definitely miss you!!!!
so yea, i went to play soccer with wayne and jordan at night. we were supposed to meet at 815, but they only came at 830 or so. but, during the waiting period, i met one of my seniors. changed much i must say. i almost couldn't recognise him. just so much difference! hais. anyway, i played 1 match and i didn't wanna play any more. they were like 2 levles above me! it wasn't fun anymore -_- so i decided to slack with jordan and wayne til 1015 and left for home. read ivan's, muthu's, jordan's, cheryl's, nadine's, blogs, and here i am blogging about mine! :D
man tmr's going to be awesome!!

WOOOO! my exam's are overrrrr ahahha! thank God for friends that go through thick and thin with you! hehe. now, we are back into the soccer craze! yea man. me + ball = beautiful game! AHHA!
today was really slack, after school i played soccer 'til i couldn't move any further. so funny when i played for fun, instead of playing to win. all those classic mistakes, that seriously are better than laughing gases!
after soccer, headed home, watched bleach, slept for awhile. man i gotta tell you this problem. whenever i sleep in the afternoon/evening. if i supposedly were to wake up at 7.30pm, i would for some unknown reason, always wake up lik 1 hr later or smth. -_- i think i have a sleeping disorder LOL. man this isn't good. i need more energy!
i missed half of superband, but wasnt too bad cos the rabbits aren't playing today. so yup. this is monday for me. monday blues no more!
