「 what i have to say... 6:31 AM 」
this thing just came to me that i need to give thanks for what the Lord has done in my life for last week, will all the blessigs that He has given me. on last friday, when my cell was out having lunch at jurong point, i saw that there was a promotion that was selling waist tonic drink. and my dad suffers from contant back pain, so i figured that i would actually go buy one for my dad later.however, after lunch when we came out from pizza hut (yum yum), i actually got the chance to go on stage for stage games, which in the end, i managed to get the tonic drink for my dad for free!! praise the Lord. but with everything comes a price, no? hahah... and i got one of my knees blue black when i fell on it during the games. but still praise the Lord! oh, and on that sunday, i also managed to get, not one, but 2 televisions when i went to do garang guni for my lovebites event. (note that it was on a sunday, therefore do not learn from me, must attend church, which i did, by leaving early for the garung guni thingee.) as i was carrying the 2 tvs around, i tried to get a cab, but there was none in sight. and i wanted to reach church as soon as i can, so i started to pray and ask God to provide. then as i wanted to follow man's wisdom, by running over to the main road, God told me to stay there, wait for a while and He would provide the best for me. then u know what happend? God happened, and across the street was a mercedes taxi waiting and turning over to pick me up! praise the Lord!! talk about travelling the best!so, dependent upon the Lord in all things in all ways. He will always be there to provide for you! keep the faith and run the race!

「 what i have to say... 6:24 PM 」
hmm.... apparently, i posted that which i wanted to be n my own personal blog on the church blog... and apparently, it seems quite relevent too.... but it's a bit werid that such personal stuff, which i feel that it is, should be found on the church blog!!! argh!! panic panic.... sweating now.... hahhah... hmm.... if apparently someone does notice it, and is able to remove it, if he or she wants to.... be my guest!! hahah.... anyway, you can always refer to my own personal blog for the info too... hahha...and apparently, i have been using the word 'apparently' way too many times and apparently it is beacuse my brain is apparently not really functioning... time to hit the sack... nites all...



After such a long time since I last blogged, I guess the many people who have been awaiting the time when I blog again, will at long last find that their wait is over. I blog again! =)
today was a day since a long time that I had a good talk with my bro, something that has long since been done since a long time. Actually this Saturday, I reserved the whole day to go out with him shopping, but apparently, he too was busy… can u imagine! For once my bro is busy!! Haha… then it was only today that we discussed some stuff that were close to our hearts.
The reason, if you do accept it, is that I have been particularly busy since the school started. Too many events happening in school, which all of the I am involved it. EEE week, Lovebites, FOC, just to name a few. But amidst all these events and programs, God has actually worked His way in them, in such a way that I do not come out of them with nothing, but actually learning something from it.
Firstly, I would like to apologise to Bro Sean and Sis Yvonne as I have not been attending the sermons and church services for these past 3 weeks. I have tried to be there as much as I can, but activities call. But rest assured that I have in all times made my point to my friends that I have to attend church on Sundays, and that it is something that I would do.
Since it was such a long time that I last blogged, so of course there are lots of thing that I would like to but it down, before I actually forget about it.
(Flashback)
Few months back, when I watched the movie ‘Alexandra’ one thing that struck me was that Alexandra was a person who had a dream. He wanted to conquer the lands that were before him. He wanted to keep on going, keep in spreading his area of influence, teaching the people that he had conquered things that were practiced in his homeland. But eventually, according to the movie, the people around him killed him. And he knew that there was poison in the wine that he took, but he took it anyway. What was the reason that the people around him, friends/commanders that have went through thick and thin to fight and conquer the unknown lands, decide to kill him off? It was because they did not have the same vision as Alex, they did not see the way that he saw things, but was more concerning about going back home to their wives and enjoying their life with the riches that they had gained. This was totally in contrary to what Alex wanted. He wanted to conquer the lands, as much as he could do so. But in the end, his vision had to die as the people around him, his commanders did not have that of the same vision. This in sense relates a lot to how I feel towards the church vision, that one must group together people who have the same vision as you have, if not, in the end, not only will the vision not come to pass, even the vision carrier would get ‘killed’ in the process.
As for that of the more recent stuff, it was just that our God is one that does not compromise, therefore there is no two ways about the things that He has told us to do. There is no sitting on the fence, but if God says it’s like that, it’s like that. No other way or choice to go about it.
