Year 2008. An eventful year of my life. I had become more spiritual and more matured. Still, there is always room for improvement. After all, change is the only constant in life. We need to be constantly changing for the better in order to get ahead of others in all aspects of our life. If i would say what are the changes in me, i would say God had make me a more outspoken person, my will had become stronger and i had more confidence in myself. Relationship-wise, more quality time are spent with family, more real friendships are fostered along the way. Indefinitely, new friends are also found. All the people that have walked in my life, be it acquaintances, hi-bye friends, good friends, strangers all are a part of the chapters of my life. Coming to the end of this year, i really am glad that i am still here on this Earth, because people around me make things happen in my life. After all, no man is an island. We need friends that will make things happen for us, to support us, to edify us, to bring us to the next level. I am glad i make the right choice of friends.

I thank God for His faithfulness, His strength and anointing upon me, the favor of men upon me, for everything good things in my life. There were times, i felt lost but He always led me through. Though i may walk through the valley of death, i shall not be afraid because God is with me and i am sure. 2007, I faced the greatest set back in my life, i was lost for awhile, dead in my spirit but thank God 2008, i found back the path that is set for me. There are many things that i had done that are sinful and not pleasing in His sight,things i had hoped that i had never done, but His grace is always sufficient to forgive a sinner like me.

I believe after ORD, life will have a 180 degrees change for me. Perhaps better or worst but i am sure it will never be the same. Whatever it may be, i will walk with Him till i am call back to be with Him. Perhaps the days ahead will be hard, perhaps i will lost the direction again but i know He will always pick me back up again.

Pepople i want to thank:

Mum and dad for bringing me to this world.

Sis and bro for being part of my family.

My bros and sis in W350 AND N405 for being part of my life.

My other bros and sis in Christ for having walked this life of mine with me, supporting me wiht prayers.

My army friends, for making my life in NS and enjoyable ones

Friends who have known me for being part of my life.

3. Stop relying too much on my parents

4. Family salvation

A Blessed Christmas

Christmas is the day when our Svior Jesus Christ was born into this world. God gave mankind His most precious-His only Son Jesus to this world we are living, so that through Him the world will be saved by the blood He shed. During this festive season, gifts are exchanged amongst friends and relatives. Beautiful neon lights can be seen all over the streets. The lights on the street light up the whole place. Pastor was sharing on the light of Christ that will light up the 4 areas of darkness in our life.



1. The dark days of disappointment

2. The dark days of doubts

3. The dark days of distress

4. The darks days of depression.

Friends, no mattter what situations you may be in, no matter how bad the situation can be, remember there is no darkness that the light of God cannot disperse. Jesus has come to give us life and life more abundantly. His light will illuminate the dark and grey areas of our life. This Christmas, let Jesus be our light and let us not live this life of ours being bondaged by our pasts, the darkness of our life.

Blessings this christmas

Twilight

Twilight is romantically beautiful and awesome. Forbidden vamipre-mortal loveship, powerful blood-thristy vampire, vegetarian vampires, eccentric melody and background music with a tinge of romance and classical feel, governed the show. Dashing and handsome vampire with gorgeous gusty damsel are a pleasing match to the eyes.

The plot is simple and yet catchy. The actors are too overtly professional but am still able to act out the essence of the romance tale. The lightings and style of filming liken that to "Romeo and Juliet". The dialouge is somehow shakepearish in nature. This show is great for couples who want something that is sweet with a little bit of action. The show is above average overall. Everything seems just nice. The last part keeps you in suspense and make you yearning and anticipate the next sequel.

Watch the show withour pop corns and coke and just plain water. You will hear that uneccesary noise is not there and the water will remeind uyou of the plain and yet sweet relationship between Edward amd Bella.The music is great so do not taint it with your cracky noise from all the pop-corn comsumption!

A Frutiful Sunday

The seed of faith have already been sow and the harvest has come. Today i was so excited when i walked down the aisle with mum. I was tearing. The years of prayers and works paid off at long last. Mum got save and i really prayed it is a genuine conversion of the heart.

Chinese service is having a great revival. The atmosphere at the auditorium was filled with faith of all the believers. Revival has come and i prayed revival will come to my household too.

Went to JP with Jieyi and Jac today. JP has changed so much! The three of us were like looking for Christmas's presents. In the end i bought mum and dad a massage pillow and really hope that it will do them good. I spent alot on the present and now i am broke.... wondering how ma i going to survive for the next 3 weeks till pay day come...

We passed by the Girodano shop and were 'scavenging' for clothes. We were no different from any typical singaporeans. We were burrowing through the heap of shirts which cost $10 each. We literally threw off whatever that were not pleasing to our eyes. Oh i really pitied the sale gal and boys who are going to clear up the mess we have created. In the end we left the shop without buying a single thing!

We had dinner at the noodle store. I was upset with the portion and the service there. The bak chou mee is overtly priced($4.30!)The portion was little and the toppings were miserable. I was expecting the real thing to be like what i saw in the display pictures. In the end i gt a big bowl with a miserable small portion of noodle, few slices of mushrooms and meat.... i am still hungry! I am not going eat there ever!

After dinner, we went to stroll around at the Fairprice X-tra. it is just like another Giant, full of cheap stuffs but of higher class. There we met little cute Dora and took pics with him/her. I asked Dora whether is she/her a girl or boy then he/she gave me a very cute reply by pointing at Jac and me and in between us. There was also this security guard beside he/she protecting it. Jas was mischievous and decided to pull a prank on Dora and was sort of gt told off by him. We went to action city and mini toons to continue our search for presents.IN the end the two ladies managed to find some good bargain there and bought in a load o stuffs there.

After that we had bubble tea and were cam-whoring all the way...

A wrong move

Sometimes i really wondered if to would be better if i were to take the poly route instead of going to JC. I was devastated when i saw my A'level results last year. My 2 years of work had somehow gone into the drain. Not that i did not work hard enough. Or maybe not as hard and as smart as how others did. I really though at times, i had made one of the worst choice in life to go into JC. Perhaps i took the wrong subject combinations. Perhaps i went into the wrong class or enter the wrong stream. i always think that i should have gone to arts instead of science. There are so many "Perhaps"s, so many "maybe"s and "i think"s. All these have somehow filled up a fraction of my brain space. It will be better off done without them. Every of these word creates scars in my heart. but i thank God that it is because of His word that i am still going strong.



"Remember Lot's wife." Indeed many times in life, we are like Lot's wife, looking back at our past. We make our past the present and living our life like things have not changed. Our oblivious mindset refused to move on. We dwell on in the history and never step into the promises God is giving us. Many times my regrets have gotten the better out of me. But i know no matter what situations your life may be in. We need to be moving on at all times with God. We need to be embracing the future and learn from our past at the same time.

God word have brought me out of that transient darkness. Now i am free in the name of Jesus! it may be a wrong move but God have never wasted any moment in our life. In Psalm we know we are to plan our ways and God will determine the steps. It is at some point in time we happened to step at he wrong staris or path despite being in the plan that God have for us. Failure is simply God's way of telling us "Son, you have gone the wrong way, go this way!" Hence it is necessary to make a detour in life sometimes. If you persisted to go your own ways, you might end up being more loss than you were. Detour is not a longer way but simply a way to search for new opportunities to cliched your ultimate goal in life.

So what is the "this way" God have called me into? It is not the heavenly time to reveal it now and i am sure God have a great path for me. The future ahead may be full of thorns and may not be a bed of roses. But i am sure that my God will see me through the darkness in the valley. I am making a detour. I am definitely going to detour with God and not stubbornly stick back to the old ways, continuing the same old road and seek self destruction.

Friends, if you happened to be reading this entry. I would like to encourage everyone who had or is facing the same situation as me or whatever bad situation it may be, to put behind your past failure and embrace the promising future that God have for you. No situation in life is too big or bad for our God to handle!

Be a Good Finisher

Alas, i had manged to finished the arduous race with much efforts, sore from my legs, tummy cramp yesterday. When i crossed the finishing line, i was over the moon. Thank God i had made it once again with a timing of 5hr 15 mins despite not training or preparing for it. Even though the result this year was not as fantastic as that of last year's(4 sub timing) i am still glad that i completed it and was a good finisher!


Now my legs are still abit sore. Credited to glucosamine tablets, it help relieved the pain and i should be able to kick some butts tomorrow! Along the race, i also made a few friends. (Hi wei zheng! i thank God that i get to know you as a friend now. Hope to see you real soon!) Even before the race, i was met with 3 good Samaritans who offered me a ride to the meeting place! (If by any chance Evonne and Samuel get to read my blog and really thank you for the kind accommodation your had given me!)




Completing a full marathon might sound really nice. But actually it is more of a 3/4 marathon with walk and hobbling for 10km. But eventually i still finished the race with a dash across at my maximum speed yesterday. Wow the feeling was indescribable!


After the event, i met up with Zhi Yan and Kim Heng to eat at Carl's Junior. I t was a filling treat and rather satisfying. We actually took like half an hour to reach there! So you can imagine how bad the legs were yesterday. Thanks God it is alright now. We also took a few picture:

Where is the love?

Today i decided not to bore u people with my mundane life.

Life itself is a probability out of an infinity. The moment our parents decided to bring us to this world through their love-making, they do not anticipate how we going to be liked when we come out. This itself is the science of probability and combination at work. The gametes have numerous plausible ways to pair up and give rise to different genetic make-up that eventually churn out life forms such as us. Any slight distortion to the genome will be disastrous. So sometimes i really wonder why would God allow people with disability to be born into this world. Won't it be better that God will just let them go to heaven while they are still in their mother's womb. Why let them experienced the cruelty of this world? Why let them suffer silent cries that no one other than themselves would know? Why would God allow such misfortunes to take place if He is really good to us?

My years of pondering have left me understand that God have everything planned for and every creation he makes has a purpose in themselves. A ant no matter how minute they are show the diligence in God through their ceaseless effort to bring forth the harvest to the ant colony. The bacteria no matter how microscopic they can be, is either lethal to us or beneficial to out health. A plant that do not have the ability of locomotion, bring forth fresh oxygen into our ecosystem. Through all these wondrous observation, i come to conclude that indeed God have intended for a purpose in any living creation in this world.

I thank God thank God that we are made in His image. It is this biblical truth, that we know we do not behave like wild animals do. Through this revelation, we know we are different from other beasts of the field. Human(Homosapien sapien) possess the most complex intellect amongst all creatures. We are civilised. We appreciate arts and music. We work with technology we have invented. We feel . We think. We consume. We also know of the most rudimentary purpose of our life that is reproduction. All these seems ordinary. But it is this very normality that deviates us away from wild animals. No matter how random our existence can be in this life time. It all happened because have intended for it to take place.

So God gives Adam a purpose when he was created. Adam is to work int he Garden of Eden and attend to the plants and tame the animals there. He has dominion over all the creatures of the earth and he have to use his creativity to name the numerous animal under his charge. He do not sloth. In fact, he work real hard. Through his diligence, he gained respects from all the animals. But somehow, things seem missed in his life. God realised it and make him a companion using a rib from his body. Out came Eve. She is to be the helper of Adam and assist him in his work. One day the most wicked serpent(Satan) tricked Eve into letting Adam and herself eat of the apple of the Knowledge of good and evil. After eating, both of them realised they are naked and hid from the glory of God. Because of this the human race fall short of the glory of God and sin.

This story depicts a short history of why the Human race sins against God. Is it because of one man's sin, that we all have to shoulder the blame?

God did not intend to curse us. But He so love us that he sent His Son Jesus to die for us. It is because of the blood of Jesus, that we are make pure and blameless before Father God. It is also not in His will to allow misfortunes to take place in this world. The plight which u have seen people suffered is not because of God's anger. But it is because that through them, that we may see the Love of God being manifested. The love of God knows no boundaries. It all requires a little personal touch from every individual to make this world a better place. Life in itself is not a misery. It all depends on the people living that life of his or hers. Sometimes, we are so self centered because of our fallen human nature, that we tend to forget to bring love to the needy out there. That we tend to forget to even tell people around us a genuine "I LOVE YOU". We did but it can be out of for the sake of saying it.

The black eyed pea song" Where is the love?" is so meaningful. A song that has a message behind it and yet not preachy. So many times, i have been questioning "where is the love?" But God's love does not keeps me pondering for it is the answer. Next time, if you sense the lawlessness and callousness of this world, this society, this community you are living in. You just got to know that the love of God is everywhere and most importantly, it is also within us-in our heart.
