It was nice chatting with WC last night
Not forgetting he late for 40mins :)
We chat for about 2hrs
It was a fruitful time ba
My soul got refined and renewed
I came a across a statement
Related to what Pst Tan had preach
START FROM WHERE YOU ARE AND WITH WHAT YOU HAVE, THEN KEEP PLANNING AND MOVING, CORRECTING AND MOVING, ADJUSTING AND MOVING, IMPROVING AND MOVING, AND YOU’LL GET THERE.
(Rony Tan, Senior Pastor of Lighthouse Church)
I always wanted to prepare my own sermons
I think I have enough materials to make 1
Not only materials but revelation
Haha
So stay tune :)
Anyway starting from this week

Feeling very down


After all I am back to JW for service. That mean I cannot serve at my Sunday PlayGrp. The moment I heard KL said that, SHIT came out from my mouth. It really bother me a lot. My emotion is a bit unstable now. Is been 2 yrs ++ now and my students became part of my life. Many people might say you can serve at other services but for personal reason I don't want. I will never have the same joy as the past.


This morning I serve my last service. Saturday night, thank God I saw Joash and Joyce. If not I will not see them again for a very long period of time. I gave my 2 bao bei a very loving hug. Their dad was there. So I spoke to him and he was nice la after all we see and talk to each other every Sunday. This morning I told Cheralynn and Clarice's mummy and both of them were shock. I told Gabriel's maid too. Hai... guys you will never know how I feel inside of me. To make things worst, Erin and Ethan never come today. I assume they were sick ba . Sad lor... Since 930am I am looking outside the door for Erin's arrival. Till 1030am there is no sigh of them. My heart sunk. But it was my last svs, I decided to give my best shot and teach well. I started with my greeting and it was 1 of my best greeting ever. The children's responded me with joy. Then after that I am in charge of my last learning centers. Lastly, I stood outside the room to sent their kids off to their parents. To those kids I am closer with, 1 by 1 I gave them hug. Inside me I was crying. Really crying....


I join PlayGrp in Aug 2006. With nothing in me and ignorant about all things till now Mar 2008 I have all the beautiful memory and the love my kids gave me. I believe I need to move on to a higher level of servant hood. I do not noe yet where God will lead me but I know deep down my heart I will never ever going to forget the time I am in PlayGrp with all the kids. The laughter we had, the conversation we had, the moment of joy we had, the pictures we took together, the tears which I wipe for you and the love we had for each other in my life time I will never forget even I am 90 years old!
Joash, Joyce, Cheralynn, Clarice, Erin and of course my boy Ethan.... Teacher CK will remember you guys and will visit you again whenever I can.

Went to Bt Timah Plaza play pool with andy and KY after the stupid movie session.. haha The environment was nice and it is best suitable to go with your girlfriend or boyfriend for a time of enjoying.

There is a God

The video clip below cause me to cry. The presence of God fills me. It was very touching. Indeed there is a God who creates us and give us a talent to live no matter what is our circumstances. Enjoy the video and I know you will be greatly bless!

Emo monster grab hold of me today. Went to cwp walk ard cuz is so sian. Then saw hui shan pass by me but nv see me. Think she still thinking of last night Teppan Yaki dinner :p

Level by level I walk ard and this emo monster kept coming to me. Seem like everything had fall apart in my life. Everything seem so scary to me.

Went home and play games with my friend. Lost all of those. The excitement was not there at all ! Listen to some songs and guess what... the power of the damn emo monster double.

Sometime I feel my parents are not supportive of my ideas and passion. All they want for me is what they think is suitable. But in actual fact it is totally rubbish! Anyway I also cannot say them, at the end of the day all my allowance is given by my dad. So got to half obey ba. If not for the money, my life will be much more better.

MAHJONG


Mahjong should have 4 pairs of hand
Where is another pair?
Is with me la
Cuz I taking the pictures down mah.
LOL :p

I felt this year Easter day drama at Expo was fantastic. JW de CMI. The presence of God was strong in expo especially when Peter regretting his action toward Jesus. I cry man. When I think of Jesus naked in front of so many people whom mocked at him, my heart sink. The shame, loneliness and pain that is upon Him. The blood He shed for us. He did not complain. He don't deserved that kind of treatment. But unconditionally, He died for you and I. No wonder they call Him the Savior.

A night of love....


My camera phone not very good so decided not to take any pictures except these 2.

I don't really like the concept of having symphony band together with the singer for a concert but nevertheless, Jeff's sang almost all his beautiful love song. I saw many couple and I thought that was a romantic moment for them when his classic song were sang. As for me... well... His song really can catch the attention of our soul and is really nice and smooth to our heart. There is 1 song, God common grace suddenly upon me. Anyway Jeff is a Christian and his dad is a pastor.

歌曲名 张信哲 - 信仰

每当我听见忧郁的乐章,勾起回忆的伤每当我看见白色的月光,想起你的脸庞明知不该去想,不能去想,偏又想到迷惘是谁让我心酸,谁让我牵挂,是你啊!我知道那些不该说的话,让你负气流浪想知道多年漂浮的时光,是否你也想家如果当时吻你,当时抱你,也许结局难讲我那么多遗憾,那么多期盼,你知道吗?我爱你,是多么清楚,多么坚固的信仰我爱你,是多么温暖,多么勇敢的力量我不管心多伤,不管爱多慌,不管别人怎么想爱是一种信仰,把我,带到你的身旁。我爱你,是忠于自己,忠于爱情的信仰我爱你,是来自灵魂,来自生命的力量在遥远的地方,你是否一样,听见我的呼喊。爱是一种信仰,把你,带回我的身旁。

In that song, God was speaking to me that to love Him, you got to pay a price. Or in other word to follow Jesus there is a price to pay. There will be trail, difficulties and people on your way to stop you but His love will embrace to overcome all those negative things. To love God required determination and strength. No matter what we do, all we want is to be in the presence of God.

I felt God in that concert. U may think "huhhhh" but remember God is omnipresence.

The next time I hope it will be a memorable one for me.

Perhaps at the end of the day, both of us are not compatible to be together. I was sharing with Joann, my ministry leader, then she said something which made me think deep. I like her passion and commitment but i cannot accept the degree of her passion and commitment. That is contradicting. Am I at the right season or am I just can't be bother. Through out my teenager life, a poor self esteem became a blockage to me from boldly stepping into the issue of BGR. Until now is still the same.

I was joking with Ming Wei, my ministry friend, how come almost all the kids loves us so much? For example Pst Derek's kids are very close with me and a few other adorable kids. Ming Wei also had his mini "fan" base. But when come to sister, we are a total failure! I has the spirit to attract the kids but not girls!!

I has the chance to talk to 1 BBG member, Florence, as she is a new member in my ministry. A friendly and nice mother. I ask her many things regard BBG stuff and it really amaze me. She told me normal members can go to BBG. So I am thinking of going 1 day and listen to the preaching there because almost all the message are about business and the marketplace. But most importantly is there will be buffet!! Hehe :p

I am "dead" already because Ethan shoot me with a gun this morning. LOL He say my face explode into pieces.

Yesterday was a 4D day. So as usual on Thursday my car instructor Mr so opps is Mr Soh haha pass all the money collected to his friend (u guys shld noe what is his part time job lol) So ask me to wait at the petrol station. I had nothing better to do so take some pictures.



Countdown to TP test : 48 days.

I am really very stress and nervous. The feeling tend to be different driving during practice compare to with a TP instructor who will judge your performance. But seriously la i got to learn to let go and let God. What I can do is to do my best (Master all the skills well and be confidence) and believe God will do the rest. (Favor, smooth traffic on that day and easy test route)

Praise God for F.I.R.. They really shine for God through their life testimony. I heard Fei Er mentioning that Monday - reaching out, Tuesday - discipleship, Wednesday - praying meeting, Thursday - Bible study, Friday - Cell group, Weekend - Services. I mean WOW!! They are one of the most famous band in the Chinese entertainment world. F.I.R. It is really amazing. They ought to be busy and living a life of glamours but they choose to be in the house of God.

They were saying during Easter day celebration, together with their celebrities cell group, they are performing a concert. Fei er was saying that a big shot is coming together to perform. Don't need to say is our very own Jay Chou. A member in our Taiwan branch church. Jay Chou is currently under going bible study!! People need Jesus! Celebrities needed the most. They are in a world which media and paparazzi are constantly monitor their action and behavior. Just look at the recent Edison's scandal. Life are being destroy. They have their own belief but still Jesus is not in their life.

Anyway we had a great time with them during service this weekend! Fei er and Ah qing perform really well. Fei er is so chio and sweet. :))


I like Erin's smile in that picture. But Ethan was just trying to be funny with me. I ask him want to take a picture together but he say no. I ask Erin, she say no also. I say why u 2 dun 1 take picture? Ethan reply me " Cuz Erin follow kor kor" Haha

Ethan: Because I never seen your friends before so I wun feel so shy.
Teacher CK: Speechless and stunned. (Laughter in the background)

I think it was God planning. Haha. After services, Jason, Drew, Ai hui and some other saw Ethan who was with me. Haha I told Ethan, they are my friends. Haha. There he saw my friends already LOL. I was at his back so never see his expression.
