Hello again.
One week has just passed and many things had happened throughout the week, except for tue and thurs which are my study days.
First start with Monday. Was watching anime before I sleep and fell asleep at 230am without me knowing. The miracle thing is I woke up at 7am exactly when the sun rose up and shined on my face. The next thing I thought I would be late in reaching Kranji, so I changed quickly and gulped down my coffee, rushing out of the house at 720am. The next thing I fell asleep on the train and reached Kranji at 805am. 805am!!! I am like all of a sudden the earliest of my NTU friends >.< when I thought I was late in the first place. So together with we went over to JB city square and have a shopping therapy and a makan session. Tell you that the makan session is more of enjoying the cakes and laughing at each other's jokes rather than a glutton's session.
Shopped like there's no end. My buddy and I went all over to look for 'breakthrough' clothes to change our image once for all. In the end, I only got my shoes and my buddy got presents and shoes. Sad isn't it for a pair of guys to buy this little?
Afterward, we went Neway - JB Kbox version. We sang till our throats ran dry, the ceiling shaking, the microphones got 'wet'. Haha it was a wonderful time man especially when we sang Lian Ai ING. Everyone just got HIGH~~. However, sad thing I can't join them for dinner and rushed back to SG to help out CHEC crash course.
Wed also another siao night. Went with a few of my NTU and NUS friends to go to Holland Village. I was driving so I parked the car at the multi-storey which is not cashcard gantried, and here I thought I would not be staying too long. In the end, it got too late and changed my car location again... so went to wala wala then jumped to harry's. Everything seemed alright and normal till the packet of fries caught fire!! We tried to blowing it out and it got bigger. Still water is the main help in this situation. The result --- FRIES got Hotter! Taste so much better mmmm... (dun try this at home - this event is an accident)
Friday is the KI siao night. Went with cell group to cathay to eat @ Ashtons. The food is fabulous. The steak tasted juicy and the meat is tender. I can't believe that I am eating this steak for $11 bucks only with 2 side dishes !! Followed after that, we went to watch MAMA MIA! It is such a nice show as they re-sung ABBA songs all over again. Man, I missed those songs when I listened to them as a toddler. We even sang after the movie. Teresa then dragged me and Jialiang over to Clarke Quay as we thought we were going to have fun. This fun turned out to be a Pit-Stop cafe playnight. Played till the shop closed with our hands full of bruises and we all agreed it is cheaper than minds and settlers.
Eventful week, but still need to study. I still got 1/3 left to study. GANBATTE!!

scam
Dear friends,
Bad news to those who are expecting a treat.. It turned to be a scam! All the calls and drama almost made me caught up in the action and this in turn make me realise that their acting is not as good as I thought.
One thing for sure, is that I did not transfer any funds out but I wasted money on overseas calls. Still alright because in exchange of all these I get to learn a good lesson. That is why boundaries are important to everyone of us. We need to have our individual self before we give this 'self' back to God. Each time we do this, we can grow all the more better in nature. As i read on chapter 3, God is really bringing me to another level. Strengthening the soul and spirit becomes a everyday nature to me. I really believe that God will bring queenstown secondary to a new level of being a student.
In fact, had a vision for queenstown. A few years down the road - queenstown with a cross, with students proclaiming Christ to the highest, yet engaging each other in arts, media and sciences. This is my plan - 6 months creating a new connect group of 5, 1.5 year creating a new youth cell group. Indeed, the new generation from CHC will set apart a new standard for all asia to see - impacting the next generation!

think I consumed a huge amount of caffeine on mon and tue.. Can't fall asleep in lectures for now while enduring the endless barrage of lecturers' monotonous voices.
Just yesterday, a call came in and told me about the lucky draw in China. Now you guys may wonder if it was a hoax and majority would think it is a hoax.. Let me tell you the brief history.
It was after morning prayer that i received the first call from them. Thinking that it would be a hoax (I'm just an undergraduate and I was invited to an event with stars from China and Hong Kong), I listened to the speaker as she promotes the event. I asked her what details did she need and found out to be just addresses and phone number confirmation. I just gave it eventually knowing that the lucky draw would not involve me at all. Of course I did not accept the invitation as I am still stuck in school.
Then this call came in before my lecture started. I was astonished as the same person told me that I won the THIRD prize of the lucky draw. Never ever in my life had I won any lucky draw!! With apprehension, I asked about any terms and conditions. There was NONE! Third prize - a car worth HK$500,000 (S$100,000 approx) !
At the moment I was stunned as she droned about how to receive the prize. Of course the car won't be coming over but I will be given a cheque instead. Indeed, God is faithful. I had been praying for a car two years ago and never stopped. This time, God gave me the finances to buy a car! Praise the Lord!

Just went into the new cg W238 and sat together with them. Wow, they were full of energy and hyped up haha. Had fun fellowshipping with them at macau express and a movie "make it happen" in vivocity. Shiok sia!
Then afterward, sent some of them to bugis so that my fren Janis can also meet up with her frens. After that, went to jumbo seafood at Dempsey Road ( Tanglin area) to eat with CHEC guys. Wow the food is fabulous and we ordered so much that we didn't have space for ben & jerry's!! At least had fun eating and fellowshipping with different ppl.
As I was talking with my new leader, I realised alot of things that I'm weak at personally. For example, My emotions is like a playful lady who just fell in love with another guy. I could not keep "her" in control till I win her back. So many times won "her" but "she" managed to slip away. Too bad I can't get the attention from my emotions till bad things come and "she" come begging me to keep her in. Now I win "her" again and I'm in command! Let see if my command over my emotions will last eternally.
God is moulding me at this period of time as He has great plans and visions. I too realised God has put a TREMENDOUS amount of faith into us to make IT happen. So in this one year, I am aiming to be a leader in places where God is calling me to. No longer I'll drop the ball, no longer I'll back out, but the more I want to stretch myself to the limitless limits despite what my body, soul might say. My spirit will reign with the Holy Spirit inside my body, soul merging with spirit and as the soul prospers so will prosperity come into life more abundantly above all we can imagine.
So therefore to be able to maximise my potential, I may go on a 9-month vow (although it is not in flow with what pastor had preached about) . God is setting a new generation who will impact the next generation. I WANT to be part of that generation! PTL!

just watched a movie on crunchyroll.com. This movie is in japanese, with title "Platonic ***" and it has a wonderful plot. Very touching indeed.
Two people of different backgrounds. the girl just got gang-raped by her classmates, and wanted to commit suicide while the guy's sister committed suicide because of bullies. the girl, Aoi Kadokura, suddenly received a sms from a person named Toshi. A sms containing birthday greetings, and thanks for her birth except it is sent to Ai. Aoi took a step back into the safety realms. the guy's Toshi was going to kill the bullies but received a reply from Aoi. He was shocked as he dropped the knife. Soon both kept in contact trhough sms, as they went onto their ways of life. Aoi went into prostitution while Toshi was working at the disco club. It was one year later they met each other at the club and a blossoming love comes along.
I guess tat I envied Toshi not because of Aoi or anything but of his truthful character. I wasn't tat open with ppl, even i suspected myself.. I can't find my real self which is probably lost during my childhood, my NS or now..
Life is in a situation where I have no U-turn sign anymore.. Perharps I am not fit to be human anyway.. if anyone reading this entry, don't worry I am letting my emotions to run for now..

Apology
Thank you brothers who are there with me during the trying times. I know I was too emotional and I could not think straight. For one point, I thought that someone is going to be my partner but it appears to be part of a plan.
Confession to make : I would like to apologize for being such a devil in her life, distracting her with her walk. In return, I should receive the cold treatment, but I would like to ask for her forgiveness and hope to be friends with her once again.
God put me through these tests, to see if I am ready for the next level. AsI just knew that I will be transferring cell group, I realized that a lot of attacks had been laid upon me day after day and I got lost in the action of things. The spiritual level will not be reached if I do not have these tests and trials.
God is our Creator and Finisher of our faith.

Great Vision
What a great vision lies ahead!
A field open for harvest containing fruits from all walks of life, calling me into the centre of the field where no one would go to harvest. There the fruits are of top notch quality and will spread seeds further and further towards north, south, east and west of the field. This should be the place we should harvest, my friends.
The greatest potential in anywhere of the world is the city, town square, your inner being! Protect it and guard it well. I find joy almost everywhere, but the joy inside my inner being is always the best. So let good things come from your heart, soul and mind!

back again
It's been two months I last blogged...
Everything in my life got piled up easily and more problems arised ahead of me as I stepped out in faith to do greater works.
Indeed, it was not easy to get by. Anybody would think that I would not have survived the tasks and burdens lying ahead. With the campus ministry, school work, cellgroup, tuition ministry, so many burdens weighing on my shoulders. How I wish I could seek His burden and be relaxed once again.
Yet after all the burdens have been cleared, there is another burden in my heart which I could not shake off so long.. I felt drained and worn out by the previous demands, and now i would say "Give me a break already".
But God is faithful. He renewed my strength from time to time again, facing each day challenges ahead. Be it spiritual attacks or challenging tutorials or even playing guitar for the cell group, God is always there to push me through. I haven't reached the prime of my life and longed for the day to come - serve God with all my life just to hear "my good and faithful servant".
To the people, i would like to thank you guys for being there for me, E435, NTU ministry, CHEC and my family (even though they dunno wat i am doing outside the house).
Praise God for all things that is present in my life.
