new insights here and there..its cool to have close frens.it makes life more interesting and enjoyable.caught up with a few people for the Mid Autumn fest – 中秋节. ethan, dennis, daniel C, sharlene,elise and gwen was there with me at tiong bahru reliving our childhood activities, like playing with candles and burning stuff…walking ard with lanterns.we shared our lives and had fun with one another. all along the festival has an special affliation with me.i always love 中秋节.Brings me close to frens and loved ones.I love the moon as well..and Chang’e…haha…juz kidding.

ytd was pris’s birthday..went down to her house with a cake and junyao.to have a mini chat with her.always like chatting with her.she is like my da jie jie.giving me advice and hearing me out when i need her to.A good supper mate as well.I look up to her as an example.thanks for the chat today!opened up my perspective towards adulthood and being ready for relationships in the future.

its always good to be aware of your own feelings. reason being is that you are able to take responsible for your own feelings. i am getting to know myself more each day. by thinking thru why react certain ways, what’s the trigger and why that feeling at that point of time and more emotional grilling of myself. its difficult to know and help people who dont even know why they feel what they feel. people who are under this category,do go and find out…its really amazing to know why you feel the way you feel coz its about you. and only when you know yourself, then you are able to help yourself.yes..that’s the way it is!

been feeling disorientated and stressed for the past weeks. guess its the pre exams stress that’s getting to me. cant seemed to focus on the things that i do – like preparing meeting and shepherdings.thinking abt the grp and studies. need to reassure myself that God is in control. I will continue to trust in Him for deliverance from this situation. He will be there for me!

Psalms 23:1
The Lord is my shepherd;I shall not be in want!

last but not least, westlanders, are you guys up and running with your devotion guide.continue to keep your walk close to God alrite? God is what you need in this exams period.Shine for Jesus.Let me remind you again:3 things for this exams…

1) Take ownership of your spiritual life
2) Take ownership of your studies
3) Take ownership of your communities

i really dont understand! is it very difficult to just read the sms, go to the option “Reply msg” and type in a “Yes”/”No” or if u are really interested,reply a “i am not sure,can i reply you later/tml?” ? i really dont think so. or is it the 5 cents that they are concerned abt? or simply bcoz they dun bother abt the efforts that the organiser put to sms everyone abt a certain event? well, it could be all of the above. anyway…i am used to it.in fact, i am pissed.Not becoz people want to come for the events i organised..i am fine with it if u tell me that u cant make it or you dont want to come. but not replying at all? erm,is it being a people person thingy as in whether we would reply or not…i doubt so.well..only those who are in this category understands.Sorry.i dont understand why you do that but dont expect me to coz i juz find it being total heck care.

talking to abt the 10cents situation…let’s turn this to a “last sms to send” situation.if i have one last sms to send,it’s surely NOT YOU.yes…NOT YOU! becoz you guys simply dont bother to reply…

~Secret~

Follow the notes upon a journey;

At first sight marks one’s destiny.

Once the voyage comes to an end;

Return lies within hasty keys.

1) I love the show “不能说的秘密” to the tiny weeny bits of it!

2) I want to learn 2 instruments :the piano and the flute.

3) I am still praying that God will give me the girl that I love so deeply in my life.One who love God as much as I do, able to complement me and have the same vision as me.

is this feeling being emo?i dont think so.coz i know God is real in my life and if its according to His plans. 2 and 3 will come to pass!yeah!

my team!they rock!!!

the shepherd who trained me from nothing!

personally am very excited abt this event..Anniversary always give ppl a sentimental and nostalgic feeling.I love anniversaries because it helps me reflect on God’s mercy and goodness in my life. In a blink of an eye, I have been with this church for 7 yrs already. Joined my very first Hope Singapore Adults service at Kreta Ayer People’s Threatre (KAPT). It was on the 24th of December 1999. I was Sec 3 at that time. After a few months, I was brought to the Youth Service at Bishan Salvation Army on the 27th April 2000. There was where I got to know my first UL,my first CL and my first shepherd. Felt the tangible presence of God that day and decide to commit to serve God in my school. 2 weeks later, i became a follow upper.Know nuts abt follow upping, but God chose me and used me.Turned CL on 16th Sept 2000.Was really excited to attend the UDMM at that time at the old Meridien foodcourt.Made many mistakes,done many wrong things,disappointed my leaders and God many times…but yet God and my leaders still trusted and believed in me.Took up a unit in April 2003..was really scared because at that time,i was leading the CAF (Drama and Dance) ministry at the same time.Though the CAF ministry was only a short while, it trained me much…in character and skills. Went to army in Oct 2004, passed on my unit to my 3 disciples. The 2 yrs in army was a test of my faith and trust in God as many times, i felt lost abt what he wants me to do in Youth and ultimately do in life. Finished my army in 0ct 2006.Led Northwest B with a bunch of cool leaders under my care,could say that it was a highlight in my ministry as i went thru my highs and lows with them. And in April 2007, took up the whole West ministry.when i first know abt this, it was really madness as I thought i was inadequate for the task. But God, once again, in His awesomeness, showed that those who trust in Him is more than able. By His grace, I have held on for 7 yrs.Dear Lord, remember our covenant,remember our promise…Serving Him till the end of my life.Amen!

wow..long time never come to the blogger website le..been ages since i last blog..sorry…have really been unfaithful and i am busy with test as well.

recently a new truth dawned upon me abt leading my people.as leaders or shepherds,many times we have certain expectations towards our sheep and subtlely we might impose these expectations on them as well.not that its not good for us to share to them our beliefs,convictions and passion, but rather we would expect them to behave like us when a certain situation arises. still pondering whether this is the right expectations. I feel that as leaders, we are called to lead to where God ask them to be..but sometimes when we impose certain behaviour patterns and mindset into our sheep/people.it becomes like we are leading people to be more like ourselves.but ultimately my conclusion with God is this: on one hand,I will lead my people with my set of convictions and teach them whatever i have learnt in this youth ministry but on the other hand, i will also bring them to discover what God has in mind for them,using their own set of personality and the way they think.

but the Word of God muz be the foundation of our thinking and our doing.Period!

yesterday was not a good day for me.had a test at 2 pm..and guess what?when i reach my sch at 1 pm..it was at that time that i realised that our lecturer gave us a set of questions and answers for the past yrs test papers.and i have one hr to look thru 3 past yr papers. therefore in the end, din do very well for the paper.God reminded me something at that point of time:doing my best and not to be complacent.i guess i have been too complacent with my studies.kept thinking that i can cope very well.people calls me “smartie pie” but thot abt it…ain’t that smart after all…therefore i realised that the smart thing to do is to do my best in revision and trust God fully after that..this is smart!hee!

after the test,went to jurong point to shop for somethings…then headed to airport to send my good fren Jacq off..am quite down coz she has been a great fren to me.Praying that she will be having a great “honeymoon” with God..hee!gtg already!ciao!
