I was my Poly grad yesterday. Yaya is just a Diploma but I work very hard for it especially at the end of the final year. Haha.. it was a fruitful 3 years the friendship and experience I gain are priceless. Thx to Ming Wei, Xiu Yin, Wee Chen, Jason and Ming Feng who came and support me. People ask me Y am I not invited? Well my MSN nick stated and my blog too haha so no excuses to say I never invite you guys.

Haha I kind of like this pictures. Beauty & Beast LOL... Danneth u dun noe me but I know u sorry ar haha. She was so sweet.. wrote me a card that touches my heart. Thx sis.. =)

Today was the last day with Ps Mike. I really begin to enjoy being with Ps Mike. In the past when he came every year to do the same old thing I was rather bored with him. But.. after the 5 days of classes with him, I begin to love him. He is VERY powerful in moving in the gifts of the Spirit. Is really POWERFUL!!! This morning I tear, laugh, touch by God and most important set free of all bandages. I am free again! YEA =)

I went to Guardian to buy Newpaper. But I saw this Kinder Bueno white. I was very surprise cuz this was the first time I saw in Singapore. The last time I eat it was when I am still in France. I buy it in like 1 whole bundle of 5 packets. It cost about 3Euro? It taste nice. So i bought 2 packets just now. =)

Just now had a great time in SOT. Ps Mike grace the pulpit and he never turn back haha. He was awesome man. After all the teaching, we did some practical in 3. So me, weichen and Hiro and together. We took turn to pray 3 times for each other by blowing and verbal command. We are not suppose to lay hand on anybody head. It was a challenging to me cuz usually I will lay my hand. Haha it was fun and I really felt God's power strongly. There was Holy Laughter all over the place haha... so many interesting thing happen. SOT is fun yet anointed!! =)

Time files... Thursday is my Poly graduation ceremony. I am asking all those who can make it to drop by NYP on Thursday afternoon about 430pm to take a picture together with me. Finally graduate from 3 years of study Diploma. So NS is calling me le.... 2 mths to go to Tekong. =(

Today Ps Kong taught a new series in Bible school. Roman & Galatians. It was so interesting and is an eye opener. Ps Kong taught about the life of Paul and some history background on the book of Roman. At the end of the class, the altar call was powerful la. I wish I can be like Ps Kong. Hee..

After class I went to watch Angel & Demon with Kelvan. Interestingly, the movie got talk about Rome and the history of Vatican. It was some how link together. I thought the show was nice and I will give 3.5/5 for that. But I heard many people say that the show is not nice. Well I guess they either not understand the movie or they don't enjoy history.

Nowadays I hardly blog cuz of the assignment I have and also now I am cracking my head to prepare sermons. Need revelation and creativity. =)

The verdict is out: I never regretted coming to SOT even though I will drop out of the school with 3 wks to go and hopefully I can involve in the graduation.

I had my Mock CG today. Yesterday was Worship, Friday is Games but today was preaching. I prepared this sermon many months ago. I only modify it 2-3 days ago. It was really hot from the oven. I know what I want to preach about but never have the time to rehearse on my own.

Yesterday after school, I got to go to the hospital and then to my grandma house for an emergency family meeting. I reach home around 12am++. I am tired and sleepy. So I go through my sermon twice. I felt not enough but I am really very tired. So I pray for the help of the Holy Spirit.

In the morning, cuz I was allocate in R3 so I have time to look through my notes again and again until my turn. After Shu Jun finish her warmth, the stage was set for the last preacher of the day. - Me. haha... I really preach like there is no tomorrow. With time in my mind, I really preach with speed. It was tough because when you preach fast, you tend to left out things.

The evaluation was done by Dawn, PA to Ps Tan Ye Peng. Her daughter, Denise was once my PlayGrp kids haha. Cutie too! I was waiting for her to gave me feedback with my pen and paper ready to write down. That was what she said to me...
  1. Sermon title was good, catch people attention
  2. Good introduction
  3. Easy pointer for people to remember
  4. Personal testimony based on the pointer. Relating to the message and was good.
  5. Clear altar call

She then said overall was very good! I was shock.. how come no bad point mention?? Haha but she mention 1 small little mistake that I made which i won't share haha it was a minor mistake haha. I was happy and glad everything was over. After the school, many people came up to me say "it was a very good message", "power la u", "you really preach very well" etc.. (nt to hao lian la).... Hiro from Japan came to me and said it was a good message I learn something from you and you are talented! I tell you I nearly cried. Kumar from India likewise say the same thing and say I can be CGL!! Paul from korea told me I am really talented and can be a CGL... wa lau I was in heaven man... and of course I will not get carried away and to improve more on it. Imagine Paul.. he is a pastor in korea with more than 2000 members!! And he told me I am talented! I was speechless...

I approach Dawn for further feedback. But she just kept saying I was good and the whole 7mins preaching was good etc... she ask me am I a CGL. I said NO... and she say I can be a CGL!! Wa... it sum up everything. She praise my sermon was good and think I can do a lot of things now in the CG. I am really grateful to all the people who encourage me and praise my achievement.

Nevertheless I will not think that I have arrives and start to be complacent. I will improve in my preaching and the content of the sermon. Now is waiting for the preaching test to come!

ALL GLORY BE TO GOD!!!

Is been a long week. I am tired but somehow within me I kept on. I am holding on. I am believing something good is going to happen to me soon. Ps Ming taught in school this week on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. So I was practicing on the gifts such as prophesy and discerning etc. I pray for Jason and a guy from Korea. He is a Pastor so i was kind of stress cuz I ought to give him a prophesy. But praise God eventually he say what I say was somehow close to the situation he is facing right now. I pray for wee chen too. It was just a good time in the presence of God and receiving the impartation.

I fasted 24hrs on Friday because I am told SOT people will need to minister to the member. So I ask God to give me the anointing and Holy Spirit to move so mighty in me. Eventually I pray for 4 persons. Mark, Jordan, Aloysious and Ming Feng. I really hope whatever I say to them will bring comfort, edificationa and exhortation to them. While I was praying, I felt the anointing was very strong. Before I can finish prophesying and giving the Word, the were about to fall. I can't hold them longer thus I have to obey God and release the anointing. I can tell you I am shock myself. It was very strong. I really thx God for giving me this chance to minister to people. I pray there will be more such chances available for me.

Saturday morning I receive a phone call saying my 85 yrs old grandma had a bad fall. This morning I went to TTSH to visit her before going to service. She was very sad. Condition was not very positive. I see her expression, I really want to cry. But I withold my tears. During worship, the song sings "I just want you Jesus... I just want you my Lord." I admit I cry bucket. The whole morning I pull a long face. After the service, Holy Spirit spoke to me that I should be myself again. So I was trying to say some lighter things and talk about soccer. I mean to be my normal self again. Really thx to some of my members who are so concern and stand by me. Kee Liang, Wee chen, Ming Feng, Yi Jun, Joseph and many more. Many thx... especially MF.. for allowing me to drive his car home. I don't know why I don't enjoy driving just now. Just don't have the joy. Maybe is not because of my grandma situation but is some other thing which I don't want to mention here...

This coming week I have Mock CG. I have worship to lead and preaching. I hope I can do well. Time is counting down again... NS is calling me soon.

Never leave me.... I need you. Be by my side can??

Is 1st May 2009. My 21st Birthday... It was suppose to be a big day for me

I started of my celebration by having a dinner with a friend in Taka. I have to adopt some changes to the plan due to some last min circumstances sigh. =) But it was a nice time of fellow together.. not forgetting I took the wrong route home and nearly involve in an accident. God actually protected me. Amen!

After that I went AMK Hub look for my 2 buddy. They were waiting for me. Then I thought of going to Upper Thomson to eat supper but they have a surprise for me. Without be knowing, they bought a move tickets. It was because they wanna celebrate my 21st birthday inside the cinema! Wow... I am so touch!! The movie was 17 again. I was not really very happy in the night, but they kept cheering me up and encouraging me. To my surprise, they bought an IPOD for me!! I was so blown away by their gesture.

AN IPOD!!!! I mean they are not working or what so ever yet both of them shared to buy an IPOD. I felt so guilty pulling a long face the whole night. I felt like crying inside of me. With buddy like them who stood by me for more than 6 years, I don't need any friends le.

So far I receive 8 SMS, 5 Facebook and 1 Blog birthday greeting and I pray it will keep coming... thx everybody for all the greetings and will be looking forward for more celebration! =)
