Run Run Run
I want to run away and never say goodbye because i'm no politics da. Oh my gosh. Sunday's heaven on earth and just a matter of hours apart and now i'm in prison cell where all hell breaks lose in class.

I sit here and miss the purity and innocence of that few hours past. I miss the smiles and the beauty of the people in church. Argh...
I feel like a fish that's ripped off it's fins and i don't even got a lateral sense on how to escape this maze. Aw my God, i miss You.

I want to run and never look back. That's all i want to do.

Chasing
Once shouted revival and went running to their boats.
They played amongst the deep waters forming a connection where no connection was once seen to be formed.
When the drought came, they were lost and separated.
Islands were form where no islands should go.

They needed the other so much closer.
They needed the other more than they thought they needed to.

Balls... i feel like i'm chasing gigantic balls.
When it rows, it rows.

And all of the sudden, these balls become massive holes.
When i finally get a touch, i fell right in and lost.

Chasing is the routine.

I love my God. :)
We were well able to capture it.
But it kept becoming holes...
Now, all eyes on your God.
Many with doubt.
But we with faith.

3 words for a command
Those 3 words can be said too much and to no effect.
I guess we'll never be cheap with those words again.

It's our Pastor's birthday - 25th
30 plus (i shall not review my Pastor's age!) years of "i love you"s and "we love you"s.
And it may be said too much to no effect.

I'm so privileged to have such wonderful Pastors.
Argh.. i cannot imagine how things will be without them.
They did so much man..

Out there, people trade 3 words for security, love, money, privileges, options and favour.
I mean the list goes on.
And when they get what they needed, they easily shut you off.

Once Pastor Tan told Pastor Kong that he'll go wherever he goes.
Argh... so many of us have that same cry man.
But the same cry varies.
One sound similar to the 3 words being said for too much.
The other sounds like loyalty.

This is what it's all about.
The church(organization) is important but not more important then the man in the church.
hoGc can close down today and the man and us can go else where and build another.
hoGc is in us.

Wow. When i heard that i was so impacted.
Going back... it's so amazing...
People trade 3 words for a great church.
But ironically, we trade 3 words for a command.
"Where to next?".

"Ready at your command, my Pastors"

2006-08-24T03:52:00.000+08:00

All that i can say
I really don't know quite how to put these into words. While sometimes we try to put words to our emotions, sometimes we struggle to put name to those emotions. We don't know what we feel.
And for me and for this, it's good. FOR SURE.

I want to waste time in a different wave.
Try to forget that i was told that i will grow old some day.
Let me run around here in my mind and hope age doesn't catch me.

I think we all misunderstood. They say we stand for nothing but we know we do.
They thought we stand around and wait for the world to change.
They may be right if there isn't a world.
Ha

Well.. let's play
Let's see our generation take ownership over the population

We won't lie around and forget about the world.
Let's see 10 years from now.

The exit music when your movie ends
Time and time again, not just me but you say and testify how cool Zone F is.
Time and time again, you see the buzz and hype circulating but you merely watch from the sides.
I must be so bold to have typed that 2 lines.

Yet another fruitful conversation with Charleston spark our debate on how privilege Zone F is.
In a way, 'HOW PRIVILEGE' is already an under-statement.
As such, we'll need to discover why it's just under and so under.

When the church had merely 20 people, i was there.
We cramped under tables in a small room that's half my bedroom's size.
We had nothing. Just believe me. Nothing.
Nothing = I don't have to type down a list for you.

We had no role models, nor equipments, nor methods and no MONEY.
We used to have to calculate properly and budget properly when we need to buy a computer.
Now we buy Apple MACs, Speakers, Consoles as and when we need it.
We're not thrifting. It's all about how far we've came.

ZF is so privileged. We have everything we possibly need.
2 weeks ago i was telling Pastor Lia how we lacked some equipment to run a proper service and guess what? This week we had it all.

We built something from scratched with Pastors. 9 to 20 to 500 now.
Blood. Sweat. Tears and today we have our very successful youth ministry.

ZF's going to walk in that path and most important receive and learn from the pioneer core group.
We're and they're not just going to be entrance and exit music to your movie.
We'll feature if this movie's serious about being successful.

The future's amazing.

And lastly, out of context.
Let me tell you how to be irritating.
BE DEAD and NOT ENGAGING AT ALL.
At least that bothers me big time and gets me all boiling.

I'M SUPER IRRITATED WITH PEOPLE LIKE THAT!
You understand how i feel? hahhs!!!
WOW! CANNOT TAKE IT LA!
Get busy and you miss out on the whole thing.
Even when it stops, you'll keep moving.

ARGH! GOD HELP. BUGS BUGS BUGS
Wahhs!

Come on... let me be nice.
Can you at least teach me..
HOW TO BE DEAD?

Ha
I'm not your exit music when your wonderful movie ends.
ARGH! ha

Deliver me O God from my rage. Ha

The Rising Issue: Tied in tied in forever
F's homebase doubled in attendance after the 1st game.
Today was different. I felt tied in already as if i had a cord attached to me and F.
It definitely feels great! AND it's exciting serving God at a whole new level.
It sure felt fun messing around and filling our stomachs at BK and simulate away at the arcade.
We had so much fun racing each other on daytona and throwing baskets on the basketball machine.
And just before you try to conclude the fun we had, i have to tell you we took neoprints too.
SQUEEZED into the machine.
It was so SQUISHY!

We rock.
They rock.

Dom loves making things happen for them.
I love having fun with them.
Soon, we'll find our best friends are 5/6/7 years younger than us!

We're tied in forever more

Here tired but happy
:)

I wish we could all win
Sorry folks my sorry's for your sake
I ain't apologetic really because you will not win

It would have been better if you knew from the start that i was different
I don't delight in throwing myself into mud and get all dirty and satisfied
And the next moment i come washing myself
Don't walk the walk and talk the talk
It's never easy
You get what i mean

I wish we could all win but at the end of the day the hard truth is that we can't
No one wins when they fight themselves
No army goes out for battle without knowing what they are fighting for
Sadly to hear and see, many soldiers get wounded because they fight with no cue

I choose to stand for my generation
I choose to take up that tree

There's only one winner
We stake our claim.
I wish we could all win
But nahz... i don't make the rules.

The day God hit a joint off my socket
I'm sitting here reminiscing about the past
And now i think the future is going to be amazing

Speak about tomorrow - a day into the future
It's the first teens service.
EXCITEMENT

I'm all excited but all withdrawn.
That's how you need to be :)
For too long, Zone F has been speculated about and spoken about.
Many people are excited and it gets a little 'commercialized'

I'm excited. I feel very privilege to be working with Dominic
Argh - and many people come telling me that they're excited for me/us
I get mixed feelings when i hear that. :)
The teens too are feeling the hype.
It's great man but Zone F's about God.

Tomorrow.. God, i have one cry.
That it'll be just YOU.
Everything's going to be cool but God, no one touches the Glory.
No one
No one

Now i walk a little differently

2006-07-29T01:04:00.000+08:00

My Dog's a potential leader
I love my dog man. Not just that he's a jap spitzu. (Not bad huh)
But also that it's brilliant, self-running, very self-motivated and has lotsa self control.
Dog pro Jackson Lim shared with me signs and habits of a good dog and i thought i had lots of training to do...
This dog's special - i need not train it man.
It won't pee or poo in the house man! Not even the toilet.
Thank God for a good dog.

Oh man i'm getting it all confused right here!
What are the terms to describe dogs?
I guess 'self-running' isn't really doggish.

I got a shock of my life just now.
Me and my parents unlock the gate and we heard bangings against the wooden door.
The dog's crazy waiting for us to come back.
When we opened the dog. My dog here put up some circus act man.

I don't know what it means people.
He ran around our legs, inbetween and out again and back inbetween.
He leap up at us. Wanting to grab hold of us.
I didn't know my dog was this powerful.

Then my mum walked into her room saying,"wow...hao chai mei you bai yang"
Like - i'm relieved this dog shows signs of gratefulness and joy when he sees us.
We didn't bring him in here, go through all the trouble for nothing.

Feels funny hearing her say that.
Feels like my dog's a potential leader that we're training.
He better learn to be grateful man. If not i'll WILL ........... :) :) smilez. ha

Alright i'm out.
Wait. before that, check this out.

Count how many "F"s in the following:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...

how many??? wanna tag your answer? hahhs

Let me go take a good look at my dog.
Buhbyez.

Young to Old
Shoot! I have to confess i went school late today.
I entered class and my teacher was like - :) lotsa smiles...
First thing i knew - i was right from the start. The clique was busy planning the mtv project again!
Oh my goodness. and guess what... when i walked into class, the actress shouted to me -
"Hey Boyfriend... come here report to me..."

I was like... (-_-") and lots of that!
REPORT? what a word..

But nevermind... i won't encounter that kind of thing in real life.
No reportings!!! hahhs
Oh my gosh... can you imagine???

This world is so weird.. And ironically i feel like a weirdo in this weird world.
I never want to leave This bubble world i'm in!
So enticing - purity, innoncence and love. They've all enticed me.

And i remember as a boy, i was like that.
The very first prayer Pastor Lia prayed over me was that i was a boy of purity of innocence and she challenged me to give my all to Jesus and as i grow up don't lose it.
I'll keep it with all my heart!

As i grow up i come across alot of different people too. Many i can understand and many i totally can't. But most of them confused in their own skin. I love talking to them man.. but many times i feel like giving up because they think that i'm some fool that hasn't seen the real world.

Sometimes i don't know what to tell them. :)
What is the real world? Someone tell me and define me real world! hahhs

It's also so funny. I'm their age.. have their problems.. their struggles... their desires and they treat me like i'm some alien from the planet of gagalala; where they speak gagalala and know gagalala... no real world. I think many of you feel this way too.. :)

They keep thinking their problem is bigger. Some biggest. hahhs....

Forget about that for now.
I'm glad.. i'm in a bubble world.

And bubble doesn't sound really bubbly. We're serious in there.
I've a gun in my hand and i fight for what i believe in.

I'm so grateful!
I love God.
I love my Pastors.

Big Time
Argh.. lessons just revolving around the fridays. It'll still be for one more week at least.
But it isn't because it's the last day doo.

Rather, it's because we're in for a project. We have to create our own MTV or something like that. Web Multimedia and stuff like that. Learning about moods and all that sort of junk.
The storyline is out and tomorrow's filming day. It's totally gross. The storyline is freaking crude. But yeah, that's what's needed to stand out.

I think i'll tell you the storyline first and when it's done perhaps i'll show it to you. It's going to be erh.. ahe... weird.

It's about this gay couple that broke up. And one of them was missing all the times they had and happened to meet this girl at the cafe where he always go to with his boyfriend. His name is supposedly Julio. And Martin is his boyfriend. Julio met the girl.
So girl felt in love with Julio. Julio's this rich, had everything, high flyer kind of thing. Cool guy that doesn't mind anything.
So girl finally dated Julio.. who was gay but then now struggling to discover himself.
Girl doesn't know anything about Julio's past.

It happened that Martin found out about Julio and Girl. Got jealous and stuff. Wanted to expose Julio when he was already on the way to discovering his real self or rather changing his orientations. Then girl started to get a little suspicious about things. And slowly the signs seem to confirm all of them.

Finally, the final blow. The breakup. Wooohooo. Won't talk about this.. hahhs and the build up to this too. wahhs.

The team is super enthu about this. It's crazy. We have a team leader that's super enthusiastic and camera man that's freaking creative. Oh man it's going to be fun. Hahhs

Oh yeah... the roles.. I'm Julio.
Man...

Haunting Floods & Traffic Lights
Crap! Our movie ended at 1230am... I never knew there was so much of superman to be seen.
People came rushing out of the theatres and i thought it took only seconds for the crowd to disperse. Anyway, it's kinda homey at night over there in PS.

The street looked grave. The people just a little like wolves doing the usual circuitry.
Hulla... one of Teng's men came for me.

That guy just sped down CTE like he owns the road.
Quietly, i just watched the traffic lights. The taillights were quite cool too.
The lights still haunt me now as i type this.
I could just remember them say,"neon lights and the city of sin."

Somehow tonight felt a little different. 1230am and there weren't alot of people seen around.
Cabs flooded the streets going places where no soul could be sighted.

Perhaps it's some stupid occasion i missed. Wahhs.
The whole night scence feels like cold glass so fragile.
It'll crack somehow...

Whatever la. You should have seen tonight.
But nevermind.. at least i had a good rest!

2006-07-18T01:44:00.000+08:00

The scene will change
I'm waiting for my world to come undone in God
I'm waiting to go back to the start

I wanna capture those dark clouds that's settling in
I wanna dance around
Throwing imaginary hammers up into the sky
Swinging my arms as if i'll circulate and spread the clouds out

I like it when there's no way out
I like it when there seem no space between my imaginations and reality
I like it when a child smiles flawlessly at his Father

Let me be all of that.
Don't let me grow up!
Wahhs

2006-07-05T02:08:00.000+08:00

We don't need to whisper
It's 2.07a.m and town is where i am.
About 50mins more or so, the world will take to the box.
And of course i'll join them on the big scene. :)
Football is Beauty.
Somehow it unites the world.
Yikes...

I don't need to whisper, "Hey you, i'm into Jesus..."
Creator of all beauty.
Two things:
1) That name Unites
2) That name Breaks Up

That's 2) in 1).
Jesus is Lord.

Goodness, during this world cup season, they say
BRAZILIAN is god.

Ahha!
Jesus is Lord
Brazilian is god

I know this entry is random. I know I know. I'm dying...

2006-07-02T02:39:00.000+08:00

London bridge is falling down
PORTUGAL GAVE ENGLAND THE PACKING ORDER!
Lots of thanks to goalkeeper, Ricardo!
He threatened to keep out every shot! Man he owns the 6 yard box. There's no way you're going to beat him right up. He's ever so focussed, calm and confident.
Here, the Portugese Hero! 2 times he saved Portugal in penalties now!

I'm evil.
I laughed when the England players cried.

I'm a Portugal Fan. The Colors, players, coach, team-spirit and Figo.

Ouch!! That was painful for England..

2006-06-30T03:13:00.000+08:00

Riot on an empty street
I'm having a good time doing all that i do.
It has been lots of hardwork but i loved every second of it.
Now that the day's ended i feel a satisfaction sink in.
Actually, I'm taking a break now from my work and i decided that i should just blog!
My mind's going to explode soon! Hahhs.
I'm a maniac. I love that discomfort i get when i'm stretched.
Weirdo.. i know.

I was just thinking of how people can work their lives out to achieve what they want to in this lifetime.
It's abit crazy but somehow logical afterall.
I don't know much but i what i know i say.
I say.. that.. we people can do anything that we want.
I guess.. anything within and beyond our reach.
Set our eyes on something and we will get it...

Well i guess many people's looking for that something.
Everyday i find myself surrounded with people that are sick of looking on.
Withdrawn, they just appear like zombies walking along the streets.

Now they riot on an empty street. Purposeless and aimless.
I think at least...
Perhaps they want a change but they refuse to scrap off the stains of yesterday.
I would agree really, that we do love living with the shades of the past.

So what is it that i feel and you feel?
I don't know. perhaps frustration that the people never lived up to the fullest?

If only those energy were used for God to build his kingdom.
And if they want to start a war, we might as well start it BIG for the kingdom.
I came across, RIOT ON AN EMPTY STREET and i thought how ironic it was.
The people are crazy... they riot on an empty street.

Ah.. what for? what for?

2006-06-22T01:29:00.000+08:00

And History Repeats her-self
Today i woke up and history repeated itself. History, she's beautiful and she stunned me with that firm look into my eyes.
I wondered what i got myself into.
I've never seen such beauty in my entire life. Now, just a mere moment away for the common life, here lies history smiling.

The by-sitters winked at her but she ain't going their way.
She stays right here. No one's taking her away because i want her bad enough.
I know something's going to happen real soon.

She has won me with that smile, once, long time ago.
Shades of that smile remained in my memory but today she ain't just a picture in my mind.
She's back.
Who would argue when she goes walking down that runway?

There you'll be and there you'll see.
Beautiful History, ready to show off herself.

Who would blame me? If saturday morning i wake up and history repeats her-self?
I guess on Friday, i'd abandoned all for that one sight.

Friday Friday. It's so exciting.
The dream robbed me and went running.
Friday, i come chasing it back.

2006-06-13T02:27:00.000+08:00

A couple of boys and girls
I was thinking what would i be preoccupied by if i weren't here involved in these life changing business of my God.
Aww.. my whole world surrounds You.
Come to think about it. Things are very very much different.
My world don't come crashing down almost certainly. Hmmm, because my God is the same yesterday today and forever. He's the same God that fights for me.
He's the God that comes behind me and kick me on my butt. Hahhs.
Whatever it is, i'm very happy. absolutely happy.

What was happening man?
We had Red Rain, Emerge, Building Fund, World Cup and the upcoming Youth Alive.
Oh man, life is beautiful with my Jesus!!!
Oh wait.. nothing top those couple of boys and girls.
They're so adorable... awesome.
It's great being with them.. I feel as if the world's my stage and God and i am alone on that massive stage.
They talk in rhymes that we will never understand because of our jammed minds due to life's complications.
Their beautiful. He and She. Gorgeous kids.

The June holidays not even half way done and it's been so exciting.
Tomorrow, Cars with the boys and girls.
AH HA!

Nothing can top this June. See ya soon

2006-05-13T00:36:00.000+08:00

Tales of them, One
One Love, one Blood, one Life.
One life with each other; Sisters and brothers.
But we're not the same, so we carried each other around in this bubble world.
One heartbeat with our Pastors
For this one Cause together.

2006-05-06T01:20:00.000+08:00

Red rescued me
Don't say you're shut down.
Please forget mentioning that you're ransacked emotionally by some freak.
Don't try going into cursing that one who supposedly threw you off board.
Ha.. not leashing your emotions at people.
Please, because they feel like you do.
Cut the hates because seriously, hates ain't enough.
If one wants to lament, then lament to convince the world that the lamentation is truly unfair.
If you hate the world... please, at least be courteous to let the whole world know.

Don't say that you've tried this and that and it doesn't work.
Because really, you didn't try because you wanted it to work.
You really just tried and see if trying could satisfy a need.

Last thing you want to do is to say you're torned because open up your eyes and just see.
Be greatly disappointed that you're not the special one that's torned alone.
Please don't compare how deep your scars are... because really, you're just looking for someone to say," i love you and you mean something to me."

Don't try numb-ing those emotions because numb or not you're still in the same state.
You're not some social rejects. Please don't see yourself that way.
Your whole world is crumbling and it's just normal that you scream.
Don't expect people to hear your scream... don't mention them coming along to offer a hand.
Really, everyone's really in their own world.
If one offers, you know that's real.

Please don't be so skeptical about everything. Even if the truth came along you'll dish it away.
You're tired and many out there too.
You look for something to put your security, hope and whatever you call it on and you find yourself disappointed.
Argh... why in the first place, put your hope, sense of worth, and security in something or someone that's exactly looking to put their security in a place?
Please... it's that logical.
You jump off a plane and you expect to die.

A kid knows, to put his resources in a place where it's going to be constant. Nothing's going to change. That's most secure.
Come on, a kid knew.

You're not used for goodness sake. You're not trash too.
You hate yourself because you had never even knew yourself.
It's so cheap... to let one thing, so tangible to decide who you are.
It's freaking cheap... to let someone as needy decide your destiny.

It's so so cheap... to throw your security, your value, your destiny, your idealism into something that man created themselves.
If i could create love, then i'd better not put my value in love that i've created.
It's just that simple.

You want to get out of the ditch and you look for people who are in the ditch...
Please forget explaining why because none of man understands except those few.

Don't expect man to make you happy because they don't have a capacity to.
Show me a man that at birth, did not cry.
That's the man that you should seek.
They say, it's all fake plastic.

You never know... it'll be an insult to many if man thinks it plastic when another man found true happiness. Ain't that what all is looking for? Purpose...
And you don't have it and yet you doubt those who are totally opposite from you?
Those who rejoice day in day out..
Those whose steps are light...

Come on... they're happy for a reason. No one wants to be sad.
But accept it, we're just born negative and selfish.
Who taught that it was every man for himself? It just happened to be like that.
Who taught the smoke-screen to escape from punishment?

It's insanity pls. That you look at the situation you're in and you expect it to change without you doing something different. That's insanity.

Go take your chances. And decisions are most important. Things happen, but you decide how to react. The worlds not crumbling... we're crumbling at the world.

Don't say another man hasn't gone through what you did. It's not a statement of offense. You're not on the offence. It's not about how much you go through...
People boast about and flash their wounds... i wonder... what's to be proud about?
They're wounds... not marks of victory.

And for all these reasons... i searched and searched and i found.
On my knees, Red rescued me. Red, the unchanging Constant.
And Red who had a love so great that He died for His friends.
So that now we can fly... like a bird in the sky.

IN-cidental Heros
Was just thinking about what Pastor Lia shared just now after we celebrated her birthday.
You couldn't deny it. It was an awesome celebration but what's more inspiring and powerful was those words at the end.

Pastor How once shared that heart of God church's a place where dreams are birth.
Many knew from the start that we would not have been able to do all that we did so well.
We knew nothing about singing, dancing and playing an instrument when we first stepped into church.

I didn't know how to play a single chord on the guitar back then. I was alien to it and it seem as if it was this absolute wooden piece of noise making wood. Just wood. Make noise. Nothing else?

This was what Pastor Lia shared with us years ago; heart of God church's like a spiritual hangar.
The air-traffics kind of hectic. It just shows how good God is.
People come in with bits and pieces of them all over the place and here they are crafted, moulded and fixed by God. Airplanes formed and they're stationed, ready to take flight anytime.

I rememebered there's this time that Pastor Lia will get so thrilled when she sees pictures of fighter planes. She shared that those pictures reminds her of us and the great God that's behind all these mechanism.

Now those airplanes go places where no airplanes should go.

And some time back God spoke to me and told me something that was simply always back yet hard to comprehend. Only after today, i fully understood what He was trying to show me.

There goes: Everything is possible with God. God is Love. Therefore, Everything is possible with Love.

At first i thought what a word to be given from God. It's something that's so taboo. You interpret it in all different ways you know...

I guess i finally saw the picture.

And you've seen today. The talents and gifts; Pastor How calls it, the riches of the church.
We all discovered them when we expressed our love in all the various ways we did for the past few years.
We loved, and we danced. we sang. we drew. we acted.
Out of it, Create was birthed.

I guess we stumbled upon something really big this time. I've always wondered how do we move on from here. I guess a huge part would be a whole lot of incidents.
Emphasized IN and not AC.

Look at it this way, love's like a whole new dimension. A 4th one perhaps. It makes you see what's there but yet not there. You know what's coming.
You discover when you love. Something like that supposedly.

And isn't that what's those love movies are about? Man and woman, happy ever after on a journey to discover what's life all about.

Then here's another thing Pastor How said.
We're a love driven and purpose directed church.

Simple awesome.
Future man and woman of God, all to be found at least once dancing or singing.
There you're spotted, there the Mechanic will meet you and there you get an airplane that's ready to take on anything.

Bring on the birthdays! hahhs.
Alright, we need a bigger hangar!!!
Towards 1000 and we're off to the new....

RR World Tour Stop:Singapore / Simple Gorgeous
Red Rain's set to steal the limelight this May as they rock their way to Singapore on their annual World Tour. This time it's going to be bigger. Bigger than the past years that they have been with us. And, bigger speaks of Kallang Theatre, Teenage & 8 Days magazine, crowd that's no less than 1000, ring-tones, wallpapers, video clips and dedicated website. How much bigger can you get than this?

Alright, plenty of freshmen out there who hasn't attended one of their concerts. Let me wet your appetite! Will you not allow me to?
The band plays fairly alternative and indie stuff; kinda like Coldplay and Oasis.
Catchy melodies and not neccesarily crazy solos. But chill, lead guitarist Dave can pull the shots anytime in individual play.
The band's simple but complicated yet complicated & simple. Guess it's complication in simplicity.
That's what many alty and indie bands are like.
Their typical just that Red Rain edges off with a little bit of a more well polished lyrics and overall impact of the musicians.
Trust me, the drummer's eyes will slience you. And look out for the bassist too.
Hahhs! But it's just not all about that.

Be there, and you know what i'm saying.
Experience it for yourself, the Red Rain World Tour 2006.

Anyway, i saw this great picture...

Same face different nature. Very much like back then in comparison to now.
You can call it the 'Presence of Good and Evil' if you want to.
I don't have a a freaky idea! It just caught my eye as i was browsing the web...

Alright, enough of pix for now.
Been a long day, i'm crashing in real soon. Tomorrow's going to be awesome.
See ya real early soon... :)

Unforgetable You

God's so unforgetful! Just imagine you have billions of this thing called, human beings, under your charge and care. You're the big boss, the one who calls the shots. Got to remember the roles of everyone in that billions, hmmm what else?
The job scope... The calling! The destiny... The promises!
Hoolala... We ain't seen nothing yet! There's so much more this God can do.

Woot! No doubt He's the HERO. And that means, we become the HEROINS!
Oh my gosh... when Jieru mentioned that word yesterday night, i was thinking drug than hero.
No doubt many of us will be hero-ins... hahhs.
But i think if we ain't careful, we're turn out to be drugs.. hallucinating and foaming. Wahhs!

Ok man... that's it! Attitude did matter.
Urh... I guess heroins have ATTITUDE~~~ You know... ATTITUDE~~~~~
Wonderwoman's cool man... while Catwoman's hot.... (PUNT) hahhs kidding.
But you know you know, they have ATTITUDE~~~

Those wonderfuls just do it when it's time to do it. erh... hmmm...
You don't see Superman running away with holes in his very much exterior underwear.
He's cool man... He's relaxed... It's external anyway... ("-_-)

Ya lorz... that's it... Must really shift to be bigger lorz.
If not ar... very the wasted one lehz...
Evorybutti nut exhaling lehz...
So we mast nut exhale also ma.
Pustall preached tat we need to inhale and not exhale and lose grounce!
Ya lorz.. like that lorz...

Haiyo... being HEROINS is quite pricey no?
Incredible looks oversized in that suit what.
Count the cost.
Pay the price.

They never turn back, they go all the way.
They are always there, when the world needs them.
They are fresh, never stale.
Passionate always.
Not everyweek is RedRain or Easter, but everyday is a day of Salvation.

Pastor How and Pastor Lia are my Heros.
Week in week out they preach and never get tired of it.
It's always fresh. Always filled with a touch of newness.
Passionate. You could just feel it.

Hahhs.
Drug or Hero?
Don't foam and pee in your pants when the Giants come.
Hooolala.

Unforgetable YOU!
Everyone has a part to play.
So what if you have the best engine? You're missing your fourth wheel.

2006-03-20T19:47:00.000+08:00

I miss the kids at the Orphanage.
I miss playing soccer with them.
Miss telling them how much i love them.
Miss holding on to their hands.

If there's one thing that will make me return, it'll be those kids.
For those nights in the hotel room, i burdened that Fatherless Generation.
This is crazy!!! I'm still missing my friends over there at the Orphanage.

You know what? They are so passionate. So much more than us.
I feel like a failure when i see them lose themselves when praising God.
There's no barrier at all man...

There's no such thing as pride to them man!!!
They never spare in giving their best.

Ha...
Tanjung Pinang belongs to Jesus.
Wahhhs!!!

2006-03-15T00:19:00.000+08:00

Beloved
I'm definitely so privileged.
God's favor is on me for goodness sake!!!
I'm blessed with a GREAT church
Blessed with 2 wonderful Pastors who were used by God to rock the ceilings down in my life.

I don't know what to say. I'll never leave hoGc.
They were there when i crashed into the obstacles in my life.
And they were there with a smile when the tides were high.
Awesome.

I've so much to boast about.
My Pastor left the so called 'Pastor's Seat' and sat right at the balcony with us because he wanted to protect us.
I have Pastors who come to me and say,"Just want to let you know that we love you too much to see you go down the wrong path"

They rock big time.

Anyway i'm abit crazy today... did alot of crap... with Christine as seen beneath.
I got no idea what she meant man... Oh man.
Then the funny thing is that it look so COOL.
As if i knew.. wahshsh.
whahsahs

2006-03-14T18:52:00.000+08:00

Bleaching
Bible Study was so refreshing.
It's was the same sermon with a different effect.

So challenged to go embrace my first love.
Feels like i need bleaching.
Couple of nonsesnse comes with age.

Can't forget those shorts t-shirt times in henderson.
We've grown so much!!!
So cute... 13 year olds running around and stacking on each other.

Oooohhh...
Age age age... Hai!! Wahhhs...
Sometimes it's quite good not to grow up know? wahhs

Once gain, like before.
I crucify the world in me and dash into those arms again.
Hahhs.

Worship until i got lost in His presence so much that the whole CD just played through.
Covering my room's clock and went to pray!
Lying face down on the floor and worship God... CUTE MAN...
SO many more man...

So cool. The future is amazing!~!

Let me continue to be young...

Apart from this... let me vent my anger!!!
NVM!!! i feel super irritated with people who always want to feel 'OLD'..
'Superior' to the young people.
I don't know what they're doing man...
Wahhs...

Then the most most irritating thing is that they always despise the younger people when the dudes show excited or passion about something.
Oh man... feel like killing them.

Mind you.. maturity comes from accepting responsibility.
Not dressing up... not knowledge... not mannerisms.
Not a particular lingo you speak...

Please don't despise those young people...
Those 12, 13 or 14 year olds are so awesome man...

What they have we lost...
What they have that seems insignificant we gladly throw away and seek for something of the direct opposite; humility. passion, hunger, excited, jubilance, what more??

YOUNGER GENERATION!!!!!!

Juicy Pads and Gut-Busting Melodies

Jeff Crabtree's famous "JUICY PADS!~!"
I still don't understand what's that 10th interval he's talking about.
It sounded simple and felt simple but wasn't simple or rather he didn't make it simple enough to understand? Or is it me not thinking simple? Or would it be him not making something so simple feel simple?
Hahhs... I'll figure out that simple 10th interval thingy again.
I guess i wasn't paying attention... wahhs!

Anyway Fort Minor rapped the stars out from heaven at the indoor stadium!
We had a great time but still i thought it was great to say 'NONO' to dancing around like baboons.
Couldn't help it... We'd danced like baboons if we did!!!
We just went to appreciate what FM had to offer.
We're hiphop idiots lar..

Opps... Real Madrid is falling apart. ;)
Hail Barcelona!!!
There's too much individual player ambition emphasized rather than team success!

Anyway was just thinking that behind all the work and stress is FUN.
Li Xing, Jackson, Gabriel and Sean went Fort Minor with me to chill.
We had fun like we always had.
Just one thing i want to say!!!
It's never about work alone....
No one's ever too busy to spare a second with your friends...

Look Jianming visits the gym with Charleston. Hahhs!
Jackson and Gabriel stayed over at my place...

We're building something more intrinsic, more intangible, unseen and delicate!!!
It's so easy to destroy it really. Just work and work and work...
But it's never about that.

It's absolutely never about 1 man; the leader.
the LLLLLLL eader!~!~!
The people make the leader and the leader make the people.

Ha!!! It's awesome and great to be able to serve God together with these peeps.
It's not work to us... it's fun.
We have fun and that's why we keep going. wahhshshs...

The Journey of a Dream is slowly becoming.. reality

The Mathematician

Average lifespan 80?
I'm getting very calculative because there ain't time.

80 - 18 and i am left with 62 years.
62 - 2 more years in Poly = 60 years.
60 - 2 years in NS = 58.

Oh man. 58 years isn't alot man.

Heart of God church took around 6 years to grow from 9 to 500.
One great church in 6 years.
58/6 will give me approx 9 or 10.
That means 9 to 10 great church.

9 x 500 = 4500
10 x 500 = 5000

So 4.5 to 5k people added to the kingdom of God.... ONLY over 10 years!

Moreover, i need to take into consideration what's the best years of my life.
Also when will be my prime???
Perhaps 40? Below 40? Around there?
40 - 18 = 22
I have 23 years left.

22 - 2 more years of Poly.
22 - 2 - 2 more years of NS.
I've left with 18.

Go and plant a church somewhere?
4 to 5 years at least.
1 church won't be enough really.
Say 3...
Then my 18 years is gone!!!!!

Oh my... there's no time to waste.
It's BIG time.
Time to move forward.
No time to make small comments and small decisions.

The world i live in is so BIG.
My Big God created a Big world.
If i'm small now, i'd better take my chances else where.
Look.... 18 years.
18 years for one person to make an impact.
3 churches? Provided in this 18 years, you function at 101% t hroughout. Not a second wasted.
Impossible right???

Everything's so BIG.

A Big world needs Big people to take and impact.

The Strangest Part
Valentine's day is almost non-existent to a devout monk like me!
OoooOh... I'm chanting Valentine's day goodbye already!!!

The strangest part was that valentine's day somewhat became friendship day.
I don't know who did this! None of my affairs!
Courtesy to TAN Li Xing for wishing me
HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY!

Wahhs! I thought it was quite a good idea to turn V day into F day too.
This way, i won't waste a day you see... wahhhs!!!

So friendship day it is and friendship day it'll be!!!
HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY!!!

Awesome!
Romance
Oil
Spice

That's what it's all about.
People and relationships are the most important.
Not the way we run the cg and how big it grows.
The cg is for the people. The church is for the people.
Pastor How is so right....
We are a vision directed church and a love driven church.

Transatlanticism
I say hola.
I didn't go school today. Sobz.. I actually missed school.
Oh man.. i could just feel guilt when i mention it.
But i'm not really that bad am i?
I did say, "I ACTUALLY MISSED SCHOOL."
Whatever you perceive 'missed' should mean.

Alright... i'm reading alot all of the sudden nowadays.
Hmmm... ask me why and i hope Ivan will tell you.
This is such a scarce opportunity right?
Actually no. I'm just kidding.
JUST KIDDING.
Pulled a leg i hope???
Nvm... no idea what i'm talking about myself too...

And that's why i named this post "TRANSATLANTICISM"
What a weird word.
Think science and wonders don't you?
But actually not la... You'll be shocked if you know what that would mean.
Please don't check dictionary! hahhs... It'll not be what it says.
OH... Is there such a word in the first place???
You doubt so... should i beg to differ??
Urh...

I'm very "like URh~~~~" now...
Or "Like Duh~~~~" now!
Haiya.. perhaps 50/50 would paint you the perfect pic.

Hmm... transatlanticism
Trans and atlanticism.
Trans and atlantic then cism.

Actually it means..
Travelling across the Atlantic ocean
What a way to put it.
Brilliance~~
Brillo!

Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlancism
Not a bad song at all.

AND the Count of Monte Cristo is so so so interesting.
Oh man... so addictive.
Dantes will be on the Isle by next evening!!!!!!!!!!
Argh~!
Yet again i feel guilt.
Hope you don't know what i mean...
Wahhs wahhs...
I'm close..
really close..

I went into my dad's room and requested for a new pickup.
He said he'll.
Awesome. Now i'm deciding which one.

Our Spirit will carry on

Dream Theatre's "The Spirit Carries On":
Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?

They say, "life is too short,"
"the here and the now"
And "you’re only given one shot"
But could there be more,
Have I lived before,
Or could this be all that we’ve got?

If I die tomorrow
I’d be allright
Because I believe
That after we’re gone
The spirit carries on

I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
I’m not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend

I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove
What I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try

If I die tomorrow
I’d be allright
Because I believe
That after we’re gone
The spirit carries on

"move on, be brave
Don’t weep at my grave
Because I am no longer here
But please never let
Your memory of me disappear"

Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has helped me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victoria’s realI finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that I’m here
It’s perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means

If I die tomorrow
I’d be allright
Because I believe
That after we’re gone
The spirit carrïes on

Typicality is smashed. This isn't the usual DT stuff.
NICE!!!
I'm just going to make it the blog's song.
Check it out.

My Roots
Was just thinking through what i had to do and i remember i got to get childhood photos and pass to one of my friend tomorrow.
I went to look for the photos, with zero expectancy.
Thinking that i'll just take some and pass it tomorrow or something.
But as i looked through the photos, i felt so so touched and thankful towards God.

Oh man. I can't hold it nor resist the joy and emotions.
Those photos brought back so much memories!!!
I had a hard time finding my photos because most of them were taken with my family members.
Especially, Elgin.

Argh. Elgin has backslided. He's with all his tennis stuff now.
How i wish that one day, both of us can serve God together.
Both of us can put our hands across each other's shoulders and take a picture when we're doing the work of God.
I have faith.
Justin is back. Elgin's next.

BRENDA!!! I saw photos of myself hugging my little sister!!!!
ahh.... Oh man, and she was crying when i held her.
Then i remembered being there at her performance when she graduated from kindergarden!!!
So cool!!! She's beautiful...
Brenda... she's next after Elgin.

Hahhs! I thank God for putting me in a great great family.
I'm so privileged as a child. I travel almost every year!!!
And during those travels, we'll take tons of photos.
Me and Elgin having a shot with Wonderwoman!!!
hmmm... i guess there's also Penguin (Batman).
Oh!!! Bugs Bunny too!
All at Movie World! Australia!
Hahhs. then i saw myself bringing Elgin to touch a kangaroo when it's feeding!!!
REAL KANGA!!! hahhs.
They don't kick nor bounce la! They're so small and cute.

Sometimes growing up makes me start to look at my family and think that everything's superficial now.
But i guess, that's just growing up. The family ain't changed.
I've changed. Hahhs.
Oh man!!!!

ARGH!!! You know how privileged i am!???
My dad loves me so much!!!
I saw so so so much photos of my birthday celebration!!!
He carried me like a man raising his trophy.
erwh~~

But what's most important in all this pictures is that i realised that my heavenly Father is GREAT.
My earthly father provided, gave, loved, worked for me.
He never allowed me to have a single need not met.
Wow.. how much more my heavenly Father.
Man, looking through the photos just brought me to the realization of how good my heavenly Father is.

Argh.. Come and experience the fatherhood of God.

HOW TO LOVE?

I was reading on the net and i came across this story that i want to share with all of you.
I won't say much, just read it and you know what i mean...

A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco.

"Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend I'd like to bring home with me."

"Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him."

"There's something you should know the son continued, "he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mind and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us."

"I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live."

"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."

"Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own."

At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him.

A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building, they were told. The police believed it was suicide. The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn't know, their son had only one arm and one leg.

Isn't it comfortable to live in my own little world?
Isn't it good to not care about a single thing other than myself?
What liberty!
Isn't it easier to be selfish than selfless?
Anyway, who in the world said that we need to be selfless?
Why care about people??? We're just mere players in the game of life.
We're just playmates.
So why care? why love people????
Tell me!

Argh no!
The liberty is the liberty that comes when people get saved.
We junks were onced handicapped but God saved us and accepted us.

Us, the not so goodlooking, the not so pleasant and the not so lovable.
I emphasize us, the rejected and dirty.
Without a speck on the outside but ruins on the inside.

And look around,
Flocks of handicap people.
'Liberty' they can't define.
Sorrow they can't differ.
Ain't it a torture to live handicapped?
You have life but yet you don't have it...

And i tell you, we ain't just gonna look.
The perfect life is that i can make a difference.
And i don't have forever to make that difference.
It's a fast paced and never ending race.
It's like sprinting 1km.
Be fast and last.

If the devil gets there first, handicap these people die.
If we get there first, they live and live more abundantly.

If the devil loses out on one, there he goes for another.
If we choose to slow down, there they die eternal.

Heaven or hell?
Your friend's destiny lies in your hands for now.

Sometimes, an approval like that which did not exist in the story can save a life.
Just a little bit more.
That one bit makes a diff.

CHEERS

BRP
The Bible is so interesting. I was just searching for historical and interesting facts of the Bible and i learnt so much.

There's a Giant whose bed is 13ft by 6ft huge!!! I thought i needed a new and bigger bed. This guy rocked.

And interestingly, a group of women had to SHAVE their heads before they can get married!!!
Man, this is a true test whether the husband loves them or not.

There was a time where women was forbidden to wear men's clothes. Oh you women, say goodbye to those beautiful clothes of men! Create and design your own! hahhs

Most scaring and disgusting, a man's hair weighed 6.5 pounds at his annual hair cut!!!
Men cut their hair so NOT often??? YUCKS.

And you athletes will cry. A man outran a chariot!!!!
Woohooo! Maurice Greene will cry.

If you don't want to grow old, please pray! A man prayed and his life was prolonged by 15 years!!! So funny, he lived as if he was dead.

A WOMAN BOILED AND ATE HER SONS. EEEyyyyeeeeRRRR!!!

A man had 700 wives and 300 concubines!!! Wow!!! Crazy man. I wonder how he rostered them to eat with him. wahshhshshhs!!!
Many of us is just going to have 0.001% of that number. SAD or HAPPY, up to you!!!

The Bible tells us all!
http://members.aol.com/godreasons/BIBLE.HTM

Have you wondered why men in the OLD OLD days live up to 800 years of age??
Why is the average lifespan of man now only 10% of that?

What is the most cruel punishment ever???

Lots more lots more. Read your bible!
If possible buy a bible commentary and read alongside your bible.
BRP!!!! THE WHOLE BIBLE IN 1 YEAR. GO GO GO!!!

The Mission Bell: It all matches
Delirious? new album! It's so cool. Heard a couple of the songs and i think they absolutely rocked. Other than their cool music their album names are cool too.
The Mission Bell. Think about it, not many people would have thought of this.
World Service too No?
Martin Smith rock.
These guys are really leading the chase to redeem music for Christ.
You can listen to their songs (of course not full length) at:

http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?item_no=CD6724&p=1006648#curr

The media associates Delirious? to Coldplay, Oasis, Radiohead and U2!
Wow! All the bands that i love.
Anyway, there's a new band that my friend introduced to me.
Heard of DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE ???
It's so Coldplay, Oasis, Radiohead, U2, Delirious? and Kent.
Now adays, the indie rock thing is in.
The ballet thing is in too.

Music seem to take a change recently and i love it.
Now, great songs are those that are not all about technicality in the playing but then simple.
Simplicity is the key to making a good song these days.

You should listen to Delirious?'s mission bell and Death Cab for Cutie.
They sound alike. Just that one's saved the other's not.
As far as i know, not. hahhs

THE WARCRY.
THE MISSION BELL.
SCHOOLS!!! NATIONS!!! GENERATIONS!!!!

dotA: Feeling "Dotzzzzz....."
Ain't the picture nice?
Awwww... Ru takes good photos.
She edited this. Sent me on friendster.
I have to admit it's good.

But then I got to admit that dotA is fun too.
But BEWARE! It can kill fun when overdosed.
Played 2 times now and i'm bored.
I simply and only love the excitement when me and my mates attack together.
Lots of teamwork and jokes. Many to laugh about!

You should see Kinonn plant all his spider webs and hide.
You should see Dx run away when he saw me and Sean.
You should see Ah Lau laugh when he kill someone.
You should see Melvin puke blood when he just needed one more hit to kill me but i escaped.
Then you also should see me just walk into my enemies trap!

hahhs.
So funny! I love the fellowship.

Kinonn says he wants to give up dotA!!!
So funny... he made it sound like Pastor Lia giving up her journalist job.
Joker!
Then i skanked him by saying
"Pastor How preached grow big, be big and think big. But never preach TALK BIG!"

Hahhs.. Laughters~

Was just talking to Charleston. Kept laughing man.
But i guess i'll not type the content here!!!
You can be funny and yet godly ya know???
hahhs!

Kinonn is! No?
Jianming is! No?
Roy is! No?
Yang Yi & Wei Sheng is!!!
No???
Long Live! Long Live!

Man~~~ I'm surrounded by people who are simple, pure, upfront and godly.
Awesome! What better association to have?

Pastor Kong said,"A man is the books he reads and the people he associate with"
Association with simple people is the best.
They're not complicated (obviously)
It's comfortable.
It's real.
You get what you see.
No strings attached.

Many people ask how to progress in this christian walk.
Seriously, be simple.
Take out all the noises.

Just build
Run with the vision
Don't feel.. Will
Just do it!

I'll crash now. Goodnight!

And now don't you agree?
Look, in a simple game of dotA, the players are who they are.
Real, in your face.
Nothing to hide.
Just enjoy the company.
No manipulation.
Playing hard.
Laughing really hard.
Hardcore jokers.

Hmmmmph...

Tired BUT happy: Twirls of Emo and dawning emotional dillema
SHAG. I'm on the edge. Push me, i'll tumble and fall.
Break a bone or something.
Overwhelming satisfaction brought an end to the lethargy.
Tiredness sets in mystically and made it therapeutic!!!! Superbly therapeutic.
What a sense of achievement to have at the end of the day.

What a day!

Was heading home just now without knowing the way home.
Stucked at Marina South/Mall/Groove or whatever you call it.
It's no-man's land. All the roads looked alike.
All around are trees, roads and neon lights.

Walking the paths made me feel kinda topsy turvy in my emotions.
Everything's gone hay-wire...

I had a funny idea of walking in the middle of the road and i did.
There weren't alot of cars so perhaps only a few thought i was mad.
I was looking up the stars and worshipping God.
AgReh!
How much better can this get?

I have a dream.
The ceiling right above my bed in my bedroom would be a glass panel.
At night, i'll kiss the stars goodnight and see them to sleep.
My bed would be a heart shape.
And dimmers would be installed to outline the shape of my bed.
Orange? BLUE???? BETTER STILL PURPLE LIGHTS???
Kewl...

God make me rich. wahhs!

Now all of a sudden i feel like starting my own family.
Now i feel like i need a wife.
Now i feel like i've got to run and hide.
Now i feel the slickly lies.
Now i feel everyone's blind.
Now i feel my tormenting past.
Now i feel i'm not good enough.
Now i feel you turn every head but you miss me out.
The first thing you want never comes.
The last thing you want comes in first.
Sometimes, you feel watched from afar.
Sometimes, you try to be where they are.

SEE... EMOTIONAL DILLEMA & TWIRLS OF EMOTIONS!

IF I WAS NOT WILL-LED,
ALL THAT HAD HAPPENED TODAY WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED!

As much as your destiny lies in God's hands,
It lies in your own hands.
Be will-led.

Just imagine me falling short of today.
Just imagine i didn't give 200%.
JUST IMAGINE I GET HIT BY A NEGATIVE THOUGH IN THE MIDST OF THE POSITIVE REALITY AND THEN CHOOSE TO DWELL ON THE NEGATIVE.
OH NO!

I'm crashing in....
Goodnight and Goodbye!

The business goes on
School was absolutely wonderful today. I had fun and i guess my classmates too.
I think i missed them during the holidays. Argh... I have to say it man.
These peeps are the next coolest bunch to my spiritual fam.
Up till now, i still wonder what i missed so much about them.
Perhaps it's the day long crap that we have lined up daily.
Perhaps it's the personality.
Many of them changed! Some looked as if they had a make-over or something.
One became famous overnight while another started his mini business of servicing computers.
Hahhs. They rock! That's that... i think after today, those awkward feelings will go.
I'll see the same old faces everyday! wahhsh.

Anyway, i watched KING KONG today. It was super lame! Argh! All you KING KONG fans out there, i'm sorry. I didn't enjoy it.
You see, all around me are beautiful people. Falling in love with an ape is not very ideal... hahhs.
And yes! I agree with Gabriel.
The show's like a boring composition. The introduction was too long. The climax was abrupt.
And yet again, i agree with another of Gabriel's comments. He's the man! ;p
It's one and a half hours of advertisement.
And i just had to critic more.... It's like a Jack Black comedy that hardly kicked. hahhs.
Alright... i think i'll stop. hahhs. Oh man, i and Gab are so disappointed with Peter Jackson!

I'm going to end with the following.

"Faith and prayer is synonymous, at least if I was forced to make an opinion, I’ll say it is.
Since faith is the substances of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen, then there must be a tool that will make that conceived substance in us into reality.
So this is my thought; that without prayer, no matter how much faith we have, it’ll not account to anything.
Moreover, the word of God says:
Hold fast the profession of your faith, for He who promised is faithful.
I see prayer as a profession of my faith. And that if I pray, God is faithful and He will answer me prayer."
I wonder how i got the above revelation. hahhs

I realised that sometimes we can not exactly feel faith pumping in us but then say that we have faith. We can not exactly have faith for something but then still do that act of faith.
I also see the act of faith as a profession of faith. If i act it, God will move.

Hmm... so it's not a matter of how much faith already man. It's like what the bible says about faith of a mustard seed, command the mountain to be cast into the sea and it will.
If i'm able to act my faith, that means i have faith. If not how to act.
So if faith of a mustard seed can already move mountains, then what more this faith i have?
Ain't my faith larger than that of a mustard seed????
True faith i accepted Jesus Christ you know! Isn't that a seed much much bigger than a mustard seed!????

argh!!! I gtg... prac prac guitar

Season's Greetings: The time of the year
Pessimistic people ain't going to enjoy anything, not to mention Christmas.
So sad.. I walk the streets and gaze the faces and non of the people seem to be happy.
Even if they did look happy to me, it was kinda superficial and fake.
Anyway, this Christmas don't be such a pessimist.
Here's something to blow you away...

A young man enlisted, and was sent to his regiment. The first night he was in the barracks with about fifteen other young men, who passed the time playing cards and gambling. Before retiring, he fell on his knees and prayed, and they began to curse him and jeer at him and throw boots at him.
So it went on the next night and the next, and finally the young man went and told the chaplain what had taken place, and asked what he should do.

"Well," said the chaplain, "you are not at home now, and the other men have just as much right to the barracks as you have. It makes them mad to hear you pray, and the Lord will hear you just as well if you say your prayers in bed and don't provoke them."

For weeks after the chaplain did not see the young man again, but one day he met him, and asked ,

"By the way, did you take my advice?"

"I did, for two or three nights."

"How did it work?"

"Well," said the young man, "I felt like a whipped hound and the third night I got out of bed, knelt down and prayed."

"Well," asked the chaplain, "How did that work?"

The young soldier answered: "We have a prayer meeting there now every night, and three have been converted, and we are praying for the rest."

So what now?
Unless we engage faith like a little child, we will not enter the Kingdom of God.
I respect children because they have the ability to make nothing turn out to be something.
They can create something out of nothing.
Just put few of them together and things happen.
(Man... i'm getting back at the pessimist again!!! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? DON'T TELL ME THEY'LL CREATE A MESS!!!!! WAHHS!!!!)

Alright! I think i'm done complaining. ;)
Stay away from me pessimist!!!!!!!! I will spray you with my baygon! hahhs...

Man.. i'm seriously tired. I better go sleep.
Alright one last gift for you.

God delights to increase the faith of His children...I say, and say it deliberately,trials, difficulties and sometimes defeat, are the very food of faith...We should take them out of His hands as evidences of His love and care for us in developing more and more that faith which He is seeking to strengthen in us. - George Mueller

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWO!!!!!!!!
By George Mueller lehz.. wahhhs

Faith please God!
And yawning may not necessarily mean no faith.
wahhs.
Goodnight and byebye!!!

It's the time of the year man! Relax Chill.
I had all time of a night.

Mental Faith: Not Positivism
Life has many dimensions. To some extent, it's like a game engineered and powered by this wonderful device also known as the brain.
While i was sitting around sometime yesterday, i guess, this amazing thought came surging through. It was such a domineering thought that i just could not think about anything else.
'It's one of those times on one of those days' thingy.

It was not long after i finished my book review SO it was inevitable to not have those little drips and draps of my reflections still hanging around. It's weird and complicated, but that thought i had just linked everything i read on mental faith together.

"If in all our creativity, we can see and imagine in many many creative ways how what we pray for will come to past, then God who has thoughts that are higher will be far able to give us what we have faith for!"

Our mind is super creative. I can't tell you how creative it is man.
It's always buzzing with the potential to create. And most important, the amazing thing it that the mind creates at will. At your will, your mind creates!

Have you lied on your bed at night, after a game of soccer with your friends like many hours before in the afternoon and then start to see from a first person view that you're dribbling the ball and doing all sorts of tricks? And this time, you're playing alongside the Brazilian national team. Then later, still from a first person view, you see yourself looking at the fans and they are all chanting your name. Then all of a sudden, still from a first person view, you see Ronaldo shouting at you in BRAZILIAN, and you actually understand what he's saying and you stop gazing at the fans and focus on the game. Then before you can bring your focus back, Ronaldinho, another great player pass you the ball and you miss timed it and lost the ball. Now, still from the first person view, you see Ronaldinho laughing at you because you looked really funny when you were day-dreaming.
The opposition gets a goal kick and you run back to defend. Still from a first person view, you look at your coach and you see him shouting at your in BRAZILIAN, to focus!!!!!

Then have you lied on your bed at night and then think about your future? From a first person view, you see your kids running to you. From a first person view you see your beautiful spouse?

Many of us may not have these in reality but in another dimension, we have it.
So if we are able to have it in another dimension, surely in this dimension; the material world, we will be able to have it.

Then i also thought, "Everything exists for a purpose"
QUESTIONS EXIST TO BE ANSWERED.
So similiarly,
My imaginations will be 'answered'.
If there is a purpose to my imaginations then surely there is a consequence!
Nothing is an accident here on earth.

So that means,
if i can imagine, then there must be a God that can make it happen.

After all, Peter could thought of walking on water.
He did.
So what more?

Love: The Greatest

Situation Ethics
Putting an end to marvelous goodies is certainly not what many of us want to do.
Today, several, actually many of us, stayed behind after the weekend services.
For the first time, at 9pm plus plus, there was people hanging around in church.
Hahhs! Can't blame it. It's festive season man.

The musicians met up with Pastor Lia and 41st Day for a worship cum observe session.
Personally, that session approx 6 hrs ago was the first first session of that kind of nature i had with 41st day!
I tell you, i'm feeling superbly estatic now.
I mean it is and was 41st day!
The pioneers of the church....

At first i thought it would just be 'THAT' kind of meeting.
Like... really 'THAT' kind.
Like just going in, observe and get your brain working, receive what you need to and tata... go home.
Little did i know that it would turn out to be a powerful encounter.

I can't say more folks. I guess you've to experience and taste it yourself.
It's true; the promised land is indeed filled with flowing milk and honey.

Now, i wonder... We people always enter and approach everything in our lives with such a sadistic attitude.
It's always going to be just another thing.
Well, i like what Pastor Derek does.
He gets the congregation to pray before every meeting and tell them to RAISE THEIR EXPECTATION.
Hmmm, that is VITAL.
If not everything will turn out to be FATAL. Wahhs!

The session ended at 11 plus.
I rushed to mark my attendance in hope that we would have time to enjoy the sundae from Macs but then i took freaking-ly long. So goodbye to sundae.
Then me, Sean and Jackson bid farewell to all our folks in the house and left.
We reached Dhoby Ghaut MRT and a phenomenon took place.

We looked at that little sign thingy and it showed 5 mins Jurong East.
In case you don't know what i'm talking about, it's the train schedule.
So at that instance, we searched our hearts and we couldn't deny that we don't want to go home.
But then, you know, we were in this limbo. We could not decide.
Our good good nature says,"go home. Be good."
Our bad bad nature says,"come on! holidays... enjoy"
So tada! 2 mins down and the train will arrive in 3.
Looking at 3... We purposely slow down so that we would miss the train instead of really deciding not to go home.

We were brilliant man. I mean... look...
You can't decide, the clock is ticking...
We allowed it to tick! hahhs. And we got our final decision.

Even if we want to go home. It was not possible. We missed the last train.
We knew we couldn't take cab AGAIN.
So... wahhhs.... we headed to MACs.
Ate and went back to church.

NOW, I'M STILL STILL SO NOT ASLEEP.
whahhs.

Wahhs... So sinful right??? hahhshshshshhshshs

But i love church what!!! Cannot blame me

Archaeologist Find Proof Of Goliath's Existence
A small ceramic shard unearthed by Israeli archaeologists mentions two names that are remarkably similar to the name Goliath.

The shard contains the earliest known Philistine inscription ever to be discovered. The shard was found by archaeologists from the Bar-Ilan University at Tell es-Safi, which is the biblical city of Gath. This find is of particular importance since the Bible attributes Gath as the home town of Goliath. Tell es-Safi is located approximately halfway between Ashkelon and Jerusalem.

This archaeological find may also be seen as the first clear extra-biblical evidence that the well-known biblical story of the battle between David and Goliath, and in addition, the very existence of a figure such as Goliath during the biblical period, may be more than just a legend, Professor Aren Maeir said. Maeir has been directing the excavations since they began in 1996.

Other recent findings uncovered at the excavations at Tell es-Safi include a large assortment of objects of various types which are linked to Philistine culture. Additional remains relating to the siege system constructed by Hazael, King of Aram Damascus around 800 BC, were revealed, along with extensive evidence of the subsequent capture and destruction of the city by Hazael, as mentioned in Second Kings 12:18. Remains of the Crusader period fortress, Blanche Garde, built after the first Crusade in the mid-twelfth century AD, were also discovered.

"It can be suggested that in 10th-9th century Philistine Gath, names quite similar, and possibly identical, to Goliath were in use," said Professor Maeir. "This chronological context from which the inscription was found is only about 100 years after the time of David according to the standard biblical chronology. Thus, this appears to provide evidence that the biblical story of Goliath is, in fact, based on a clear cultural realia from, more or less, the time which is depicted in the biblical text, and recent attempts to claim that Goliath can only be understood in the context of later phases of the Iron Age are unwarranted."
