Today was one very fruitful day i guess... We shifted alot of water bottles from national stadium to camp. It was not really a pleasant experience in the morning because we had to wait for every one to settle down... wa.. The worst part would be waiting for the water bottles. We waited for 3 hrs just for the water bottles to leave the causeway and reach national stadium. Everything was so not fast, like NOT in captical letters.

FDS has trained me and my fellow GOH sai gang party members to be on the ball at all times. Guess that was the reason why we are not very happy when the few technicians joined us for the carrying of bottles. I mean, if they are of some help, we would gladly work with them. However, that was not the case. There was one guy, codenamed dragonball( due to his hairstyle), was taking his own sweet time to carry the bottles and that has really fustrate us. We are like the people who are dieing to finish the sai gang and there he was, taking his own time. I am sure there were times like this where you just wanna ask him to get lost and take over his job. However, we are under close supervision by a warrant, so I did not really do anything to him. Just imagine what would happen to him if the warrant was not there.

I cant wait for the preview this saturday. It will be just like the actual day, same ambience, everything would be the same. I am praying very badly that there will not be any screw up at any point of the parade. The previous two had left me sleepless le, I dont want another sleepless night. Yes, I take drills very seriously, and I cannot stand people who joins GOH just to slack around in bunk and not motivated with the drills. I guess I had this spirit of excellence in me, but yet I dare not shout at people, so I would tell the people around me about their drill problems nicely. Hey, you cant blame me, I am also doing it for the contingent. I love what I am doing, so I will not want to quit and slack around.

GOD save the GOH, I pray to you this evening.

Well, it has been a pretty tiring day today. Met Kelly in the morning to get back my fifty bucks, den meet Clara at Woodlands. Was having a hearty talk with Clara when I found out that the duration in Church does not really matter... As long as your focus in Church is wrong, you are practically going the wrong way. She shared with me about this guy who is in her cell group, (i will not disclose his name due to privacy interest), had been spiritually strong b4, but it seems to me that he is turning money into idols. His vision and dreams are money oriented, and everything around him seems to be very messy. He chooses friends like choosing clothes, he hardly has long close friends, he was even suspended from becoming a choir helper... Well, if a guy in church for seven years can "backslide" until this stage, what more can a young believer be? Guard your hearts, young believers who are reading my blog, for only the righteous shall inherit the ends of the Earth.

Clara reminded me on a very important fact about the end times.. We are in the end times, if you did notice. There are increases in natural disasters, oil are depleting, wars are increasing... Bird flu, mad cow disease, ARGH!!! I feel that the end times will come in our generation.. Yes, the sky will turn dark, angels will come with their instruments of distruction, and every people who know that Jesus Christ is LORD and not admit it will be destroyed. Wow, that is very scary. I read the book of revelation alot of times, and it is inevitable to think about what will happen in the end times. I just got pretty afraid that our parents will be destroyed too, because both my parents are unbelievers. However, Clara reminded me on what Pastor Zhuang told them while having bible study.


The LORD said, "If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake."
27 Then Abraham spoke up again: "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, 28 what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city because of five people?" "If I find forty-five there," he said, "I will not destroy it."
29 Once again he spoke to him, "What if only forty are found there?" He said, "For the sake of forty, I will not do it."
30 Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?" He answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there."
31 Abraham said, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?" He said, "For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it."
32 Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?" He answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it."
33 When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home.The LORD said, "If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake."
27 Then Abraham spoke up again: "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, 28 what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty?

Because of five righteous people, there will be a special grace upon the immediate family members of the five righteous. Immediately the peace of GOD just came to me. Friends, I really do not wish to see you get perish. You know how important you are to me. However, no one comes to the Father in heaven but thru Jesus Christ Himself. I am not here to preach, because the choice is yours eventually.

I might be going on a 4 yr singlehood vow, because wisdom is patience. I need to make sure that I do not get tempted in the area of relationship when I am there in Germany. Its good because if I start now, I will be very unfair for the particular someone... Sobz.. I am single now...

Not a very happy day today, because I was pretty worn out after all those running here and there.. Service was awesome, because I was healed off my sore throat and my pretty bad cough that has been bothering me for quite some time. Praise the LORD!!!

It has not been the best of days. I just told Bob that I am feeling wierd for today. Well, lets just say, its just today ok? I really wanna be with her, but I am going overseas to study, and bee leng did told me before that it would be very selfish if I am going somewhere very far away and I am leaving my sweetheart in Singapore. Think that was during Army... But this is no longer in Army... I guess she will never know... Anyway, I am very happy that she is in my life. I am finally able to do "Christian talk" again le. Although I hope that the whole cell can talk like that, but not everyone is me, and I cant force everyone in my cell to talk like me. That is plainly selfish.

I am very excited over service and cell group, because I will be in the house of GOD worshipping GOD and doing all those things the worldly people will never understand. Just finish writing down two new songs, hopefully through proper editting with brother poh, will i see my own masterpiece come to pass! Ireally wanna serve GOD in the area of music, although many people said that it is impossible to make it big, but through GOD and proper planning, it shall come to pass.. Wow, i feel very on fire now... GOD use me! Transform the people around me to be a better person!

!st entry... ok la, not 1st

Ya, i am blogging for Sunday's entry, not Monday.

It has been a very tiring yet fruitful day. It is my team's turn to queue, so I message my team mates to go down 2gether. Well, not everyone came down together. I reached first, 15 mins before Shi Hui arrived. Argh... Maybe next time we shall meet at 8 at Burger King before going in? hahaz... Service was awesome. Rev Robb Thompson from Family Harvest Church came down to our Church as a guest speaker, and I feel he preach one of the best sermons I have heard in Church. Although his sermons are really chunky ( you can hardly find the full stop in his sentence), and key points are pretty hard to find, but he was very annointed when it comes to the area of convincing. Wow. When I saw REV Robb Thompson begging us not to waste our lives, I almost feel like crying. The service felt so short, in fact, I hope it last forever. For better is one day in GOD's house than a thousand days elsewhere.

On that same afternoon, we had our prayer meeting. It was a one hour thirty minutes prayer meeting, but it felt like it was very long. No wonder the bible study on praying mentioned that you must have the desire to pray, the discipline to sustain it, and when all these is finished, you will delight yourself in the LORD.. Discipline is very tough, it is also a very painful process. I stood throughout the prayer meeting, for a whole one honour 30 minutes!(not as siong as mounting days where I had to stand for 3 hours!) The worse part while I was praying was that my back was aching. I had to constantly pray for the LORD to give me strength in sustaining my back. Haiz, a sportsman like me cannot sustain standing. LORD, I am weak, but in YOU, I am strong.

Siew Peng is in charge of the Sentosa outreach thing. Although I am not able to go for the trip on the 22th JULY, I am very sure our cell group will hit a new high attendance of 25 people. Our team planned for everything, for all the games, the location, what happens if it REALLY rains, etc. We are so into evangelising that we are going to walk the ground later in the day. The rest cannot make it, so Siew Peng and I will be walking the ground. hahaz, I cant wait for 22th JULY!!!! Yay!!!
