Just wanna spend some time to journal things down, things that i can really say “thank you” to God from the bottom of my heart, and not just doing or saying it for the sake of it.
1. Thank God for yingjie and yanyu who really “surprise-d” me with their visit at my doorstep with a box of lasagna and a bottle of honey water. Ate and shared the food with glad and sincere heart. =) It’s your acts that really touched me that even though the visit is becos of physical sickness visit, but i see it as an encouraging spirit visit.
2. The attempt that we went to Meng’s house to BBQ, smoked her neighbours and burnt her table. I was kinda really excited cos i had never done this ever in my life, to challenge HDB! HAHAHA. Thank God her neighbours didn’t call the police due to the sudden smoky air, however not sparring us the “weird” look.
3. Seems exciting so far? The best part of it all is that i truly experienced God today. Meng, my nephew (Jeriel) and i went to the open grass patch, just next to my house to “try to fly kite”. I had to admit that i am really excited and i really didn’t wanna disappoint this small little boy’s expectation- to fly a kite. So i just quickly remove the kite from the cover and try to make it fly. After many many, many attempts, the kite still can’t fly and i was puzzled why the kite can’t even flip open its sides, let alone seeing it flying in the sky. Then a good samaritan came to us and told us that a stick was missing, the stick that was supposed to support the sides of the kite. When i know about that, i still scolded my brother for being dumb not to check the kite during the purchase. When i got home, told the entire story to my mother, and she said that she’s sure that there is a stick in the cover which i denied seeing it (the fact was that i really didnt). On one hand, i felt bad that i MIGHT lose the stick as i was too excited to remove the cover and not realised that the stick dropped out as well. By that time, it was 7 plus, the sky was almost or rather seemingly dark. I decided to take a detour back to the original route that i took to look for the stick (if i lose it). All that the 3 of us had was Meng’s handphone’s flash to look around the vast area of the field. Like the Chinese saying, it feels like “trying to recover a needle from the seabed”. Just as all of us decided to go back, i turned, and prayed. And the most freaking thing was that the stick was shinning at me suddenly before me. WOW. Talking about the benefits of instant noodles, try instant prayers! It’s even more awesome!
God can speak to you regardless of your heart condition – - – simply becos He loves you and never want to let you go.
YAY! Above all, we’ve got 4 converts within these 2 weeks!
I want to do life with You.

Now we are at the start of the second month of the year 2010. It’s freaking fast. Soon, i will be taking my prelims. I really can’t afford to fail any modules this semester. But seriously, i really CMI for POA, Maths and other modules that has figures. Becos another year would mean another lengthy process of borrowing money from bank and to graduate. Therefore, i got to start preparing soon. Prelims are as follows:

Yes, 2 Saturdays are gone because of my prelims. God, i need you and i want to go through this tough season with you.
What God spoke to me recently was the deeper meaning of the verse that most of us would have heard of or we would have read through as we read the Bible.
30Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[a] – Mark 12:30
Since young, we were being taught that in order for us to have success over the things that we do, we’ve got to 用心, 用脑, 用力.
We’ve got to concentrate to do what we are given. I always remember that my mother always ask me to use my heart to listen to my teacher in class. When i am unsure of all the maths questions that exist, my cousin always force me to “use my brain”. When my aunt brings me to market when i was small, i just want to throw tantrum that i got no strength to help her to carry things, she would say “use my strength” (when i was helping her reluctantly). All these are great attributes that were inculcated in us that to do well in exams or CCA, we need to be use our heart, mind, strength. Then i began to ask God, then soul lei?
He revealed to me. 断魂 usually is used to describe people who met with an accident and his soul was gone (died). It’s so true that if we don’t love God with our heart (which means that we have other things in life that we may set it above God), don’t love God with all our soul (just doing all the physical work e.g.: purely working for the sake of working and not refreshed by God with our souls through daily QT, we will also 断魂 spiritually), don’t love God with our mind (we are not kingdom minded? Becos when you’re forcing your brain to think, you’ll think what are the decisions that you’ve got to make so as to please the One you love), lastly, don’t love God with your strength (you’re practically doing all the talking and not living it out). Love God –> Work it out with your strength.
Wow. Only when we engage in worshipping God with our heart, soul, mind and strength, there we will experience divine exchange with the Almighty.
Spent my week relatively well and fruitful! I went for a 2 days DISC (Uniquely You ) course and hereby declare that i am a certified “human behavior consultant”. The process of discovering myself and the part about using this tool to empower and develop the potential of the DMM in my group was just mind-blowing. The analysis that Professor Eve. gave to describe and analyse every individuals were so precise, accurate. Awesome! Thank God for dennis who sponsered me to attend the course. At the very least, i learnt some things which i can apply to move the people and the Kingdom ahead.
Met florence for shepherding on Wednesday. We had a good time ctaching up with one another’s life and laugh at one another. And she’s so nice to treat me to dinner at Crystal Jade. We ate “xiao long bao”, ee-mee and porridge. We even debated that the “xiao long bao” that i am talking about was not what she was talking about, however, it was the same thing that we were talking about. Oh well, we ended up finishing her DISC analysis and off she went! Thanks blackie for the treat!
I am still thinking about the part that skepticalism starts with just a “kidding” matter. What’s the bottom line?

Too many things happened in the week. So i shall just sum it up. I got back my test on IBM, a subject that’s tough as the notes to study is the same as pilling up all the books of other subjects i have and the notes of IBM. However, i remember i tried my best to study! And i got back my results! Thank God that my results is 17/25. I went up to the lecturer and he said it’s equivalent to first class honors result. I was thankful man. Without Him and His grace, it wouldn’t be possible. When i came home, i told my mom that God is good!
Then, i had shepherding with sharlene on friday.
on the phone...
We spent time updating one another about our lives and we just keep talking. Like what she said, we’re more like friends than sheep. Cos we’ve been together as shepherd and sheep for at least 6 years. Nonetheless, i’m happy cos i can say that i’ve got shepherded!
On saturday, we had 4 converts and EAST VIEW finally has new blood! SO happy man! Thanking God that He is with us! Emmanuel. And we finally went for our long awaited MIT5 retreat! We went to the ZHEN FA HUO HAI XIAN. It was great time just spending time together and sharing things. Well done people! Let’s celebrate in march for 55 souls for Jesus!
Today, i was online and i talked to my ex-crush during my secondary school days, he’s now serving NS and serving God! Take a look at him!
my ex-crush
I mean i am referring to the guy, those are his siblings. He’s got the baby face, the dipples and handsome! HAHAHA. He’s someone who has his own views and will not compromise anything if he thinks it’s right! –> my secondary school classmate, then became close friend!
Later, will be going ULM retreat in my greenview uniform! =)
