With the remains of our food. popcorn, coke, ice, green pepper, honeydew sago, chilli, brocolli, sze quan sauce(jus some sauce). oh my goodness! this is simply.. ewwww. and mandon lost the zong ji mi ma(some game) and had to drink that as a forfeit! poor him! but before he even drink it, due to unforeseen circumstance, he vomitted and in the end no one tasted that nasty drink haha!

super amazed!!
haha im just going to blog a short one before i go for project meet.there's hongkong lc coming up in september, and so i have to ask my dad. which is worrying because the previous time i tried to go thailand for mission trip, i had a really hard time persuading my dad to let me go der. and my dad dun really like me overnighting and stuff, wad more overseas! so on 1 hand i noe God will make a way for me to go, but on the other hand there's still lack of trust in God's plan, wondering wad to do if my dad doesnt allow me to go and such.and so i wanted to ask my dad face to face(it works better than talking on the phone, seems more sincere i think haha) but he just told me to ask him on the phone and so i ask him if i can go overseas in september, he just ok-ed it easily! i did not even need to persuade him! and so he just ask me where im going, and thats all! this was really alot alot alot alot easier than i thought it would be! and i noe it, this is definitely the work of God! its mad! i really cant imagine my dad just agreed to me going overseas just like that! MY GOD!! haha anw yeah, i really need to put more trust in God man! God help me to do so as well! and i pray that if u are reading this and are in situations, believe in God's promises and plans that its for the best of you and if God says it will happen, hw can it not happen?! God said GC will be fulfilled and 13 schools for East by end year needs to be fulfilled as well! lets take faith and fulfill it! cya!

blown off!
man! seriously, if u went for oasis camp with a serious heart and an expectant heart. u would not leave the camp with lesser than just a blast! God totally blasted me off! there are so many things that i really learned from the camp, but one of the things that i really caught was the great commission! MAN!!! you know, i've always known great commission. but i've never felt great commission? God really placed in me a burden for the world! we are really called to be world changers! starting from ourselves! i think alot would agree that its really different when u catch things of God with ur mind and with ur heart.when u catch what God is trying to say or do with ur heart, u go crazy! because its simply too awesome and once is more than enough. really got blasted big time! and my jaws really dropped when i saw the video of africa! WOAH! its the type of scene that moves and melts peoples' hearts. seeing millions of people worshipping God tgt, with one common audience and one common desire. its madness! and not only that! God moved in most people i believe! this camp is indeed 1 turning point for me! its really time for men in the church to grow ! ED let's show the people out there how God can use focused man! i really like what winstar's msn nick displayed. if a driven man is a force, then a driven man with God is an unstoppable force. then i thought, satan should really start worrying. because on the last day of our oasis camp, 12/06/08. God just prepared more than 600 driven people to serve with Him. its unstoppable force times 600 times over! we're gonna barge into the gates of hell and claim all our inheritance.and well camp aside. today we have our ED one day camp, and i tell YOU! its more than just a blast for me, its 2 blasts, 3 blasts! God was really among our midst and those who were serious would have benefitted alot from the teachings. but the ultimatium of the day would be the last part of the day whereby we receive many words from God from our leaders etc. if u did sunday's devotion u would noe that we are encouraged to desire for spiritual blessings from our leaders. and the first thing i did was to find yiqin and really get him to pray for me. God really encouraged me greatly thru him when he spoke to me about smth on elisha's life, that was the first blow and when bing liang prayed for me, he spoke a word that also talked about elisha's life that was a double blow! initially when dennis loh prayed for me, i din quite get the impact but as i thought back, then i realised the power of it, God spoke about the exact same thing.and as i responded to being used by God, God started using me immediately and that required courage and obedience! u noe its really scary to receive a word from God to speak to others, there are uncertainties and such. bt when u whack according to the Spirit, God jus proves Himself to be real! and when i noe hw God has used me, i was really awed and stunned! thank You God for everything!!but there was 2 questions of the day which i think if u think about it seriously and do smth about it, your life and how u live it will be different for all eternity.1) Is God real in your life?2) If God is real in your life, what are you doing with your life right now?when i really thought thru those questions, i really felt the lack of time. how we are really racing against time. i pray that i wouldnt waste my time anymore and i've already done smth about it! i asked ppl arnd me to keep watch over me=) have u responded to God during camp or recently? if u have, rmb to take actions immediately! jiayou![The realness of God is shown in the effect of life transformation.][Do God's work, God's way! listen to God's voice and obey it!][A step out of your comfort zone, leads to many steps of victory!]

devastating !
man. today smth really devastating happened! i transferred my pictures folder into my hard disk quite some time ago and i didnt really check whether everything is there or not. awhile later i found out and i tot it could be retrieved or smth lidat.but... i tried to retrieve it today and its all gone.. this is one of the most painful experiences one can have haha. its somehow like losing ur memories, good ones especially. its years of pictures so as to speak. those pictures were accumulated since the previous grads were still in our grp! when there was still the housekeeping team in RC, the pictures of everyone working hard to clean up RC. when the TP grads first had one outing to the jurong ice skating rink. when i went for my thailand mission trip to Hope Nakornpathom! all these pictures of memories are gone just like that! worst still, i don't know why its not there in my folder even! so in the morning i was practically crumbled. totally gone man! man the last time my photos were deleted cos my com had problems and needs to be reformatted. it had values of years of memories as well, that was even worse. those were the times when the old east D1 were together! the times when i was new believer. really devastated i turn to God and ask Him why haha! i mean seriously! and tt was before i wanted to do my devotions, and so before i did the devotions for today i really prayed that God would speak to me about this haha. its simply heart breaking. and today's devotions is on getting what you want. i was quite shocked to see it at first, cos i wanted to get back those photos. at first i didnt really get what God was trying to say, i mean those photos were definitely one of the treasures i held dearly in my life ! at first i couldnt get wad God was trying to say but as i continue to meditate on the devotion and the word of God i really prayed God would help me learn something frm this! this is a super painful lesson and it would be such a waste to not get anything out of it! and at the end, God reminded me of what the treasures of the heavens are! the souls of people and the things God has called us to do. and this qns was posted to me and i simply had nth else to say!If these treasures of the earth that are held so dearly in our heart and when we lose it we feel such excruciating pain. how much more should the pain be when we see lost souls remain lost. and we see the things God has called us to do, undone! how much more should we feel when ppl leave God! after that, i understood everything God was tryin to bring across this painful experience. i really pray that God would help me feel the pain He feels when He sees lost souls remain lost, and the things that needs to be done is not yet done. the importance of serving Him. and i pray that if you still do not understand the amount of pain yet, i pray you would understand it soon. not because i want u to suffer! but because when u understand it, u would do things and view things from a different perspective, one that is with urgency.after all at the end of the day, God does not count what we have achieved in our life. but what God counts is the amount of things that God has called us to do and we have accomplished it. what are some of the things that are not what God has called u to do and yet u r doing it? an what are some of the things that God has called u to do but u still haven done anything to it? i have repented haha! so many things that i've not done and so many thing that i've done but useless! pray tt anyone w/o the urgency to give God their best after readng this post, u can start to feel God's heartbeat more clearly.[God counts the things that He has called us to do and we have done at the end of the day.]

crazy!
haha wanted to blog ytd but there were alot of things tt ran thru my mind so i decided nt too haha.well today i woke up early to study! yay! haha exam starts at 3.30pm i had around 3 - 4 hours to study for my paper. its not a very tough job cos i know wad to study and focus on. bt really thank God that He helped me to study efficiently and more importantly more than enough time to study=) the subject is WWNK(wired and wireless networking)so i got off my house quite assured that i did my best and i shud do fine in the exams, when i reached the bus stop(oh i left my house early! yay!) and so i decided to see where my exam will be at( i saved in my phone as draft) and so the message is smth like this( anw i write the message in sequence according to date from earliest to latest)lait(law subject) biz lt19 seat 2dbas it lt 3 seat 10wwnk it lt 2 seat 28my exams are only on 3 days, monday, wednesday and friday! and today's wednesday so the subject is? dbas?!! i studied really hard for wwnk so i was really shocked taking in consideration i didnt study for dbas at all! i was thinking maybe i wrote in wrong sequence haha, so i decided to call my classmate up and ask him where is the location for exam( didnt dare to ask him wad subject we are having for exams today haha! it sounds super stupid man!) he said lt 3. so i tot maybe i wrote the location wrongly or smth lidat.but when i got on the bus i seem to have an impression of my wwnk accouncement on one of the forums with exam on june 6. and i checked my handphone for date, its june 4 haha. so i was quite prepared that i studied for the wrong paper! immediately messaged out to qin and star haha since they are having exams as to keep me in prayer haha! cos this is the craziest thing that can only happen in someone's nightmare!i was a little scared but quite shocked at first haha, to think i studied for the wrong subject! but i mean what's past is already past, and i cant do much as well. w/o notes on my hand for my current subject, i cant study for it as well, much as i want to! so i committed my whole situation to God, and just went for the exam. nw its after the exam, bt i cant confidently say that i will pass the exam for sure haha! bt still i really want to thank God that He was with me throughout this whole thing. im sure my mind might have broken down if i didnt have God in my life! and also that now im already super prepared for my next paper haha, i have alot of time to do other things! its almost like exam over to me haha. it may seem that im not worried, but the fact is that, yes im not worried at all! because there is already no point in worrying about what's past and what's already in God's hands isnt it? haha!im posting on what happened today is so that whoever reads this, the next time u r faced with things that are not in ur control, rmb that whether things are or are not in our control. God has the ultimate control over them! u can be concerned but u shud never be worried! worrying is just a sign of lack of faith in God's control in the situation. so if u happen to be in such a situation, jiayou! and trust in God! =)

growth!
how can one not grow haha! its really so enjoyable! ytd we were at airport studying and i took the bus home with denise. i agree with one the things she said, serving God is in fact quite easy when you enjoy it! few days ago i said living a Christian life is not easy, but simple. but do u wan to know how to lead a Christian life that tho meets things that are not easy to handle but u can breeze thru them? do it with God! enjoy every single moment of it! savour the moments of temptations, situations and of course the good times! comes to it again, the power of being able to thank God in every circumstance is soo powerful!
well a few interesting things that happened haha. i think God is really one.. hmm.. interesting God haha! definitely noes how to TEMPT us!! i've heard of a few haha, like dennis loh's first day of fast he received alot of chocolates which he is fasting from if im not wrong haha! oh man. and star as well, u can go read his blog to find out more haha!i believed most shud have received a few temptation haha, if nt pray that you get them man! so that you can experience God so much more thru prayer and reliance on Him. i've already received mine, and its a big one! fasting is to help keep our focus on God, so dont go doing other things other than ur fast tt makes u misfocused. there wouldnt be much of a point of u fasting if u do that! always rmb why we do the things we do! never lose sight of it, and i pray that i too wouldnt lose sight of it!
all these aside! poly peep's term test has arrived! really praise God for this time round's term test. i was kinda lagging behind in certain subjects, but God helped me to catch up everything in the last week of lessons! thank You God!
God i pray that You would be with all of us in this term test as we continue to serve You! You are our stronghold and strength in this term test, help us to trust in Your strength and not ours because we know we can't make it on our own. Lord be with us! in Jesus' name. amen!
now i feel even more confident in my term tests, since i have such a big God backing me up!
yeah time to go study haha! all those who dun have exams(sec sch peeps) dun slack too! make use of ur time to grow in God haha! jiayou ! =) bye!
