Another sat

Saturday, 25 July 2009, 12:07 pm

Time's running out as my A levels draw nearer! How exciting eh? 15 weeks to the start of the big bang. Totally uninterested.

Anw some good news from mid years. I have by some shocking God blessed mercy PASSED 2 H2 which means my parents would not need to see the KP (Key personnel) Happy happy! I also got top in my class for GP with a C grade. Unexpected but still got to praise GOD!

Getting ready for another weekend at church. Know it'll be great. Just one problem. I'm stuck with the problem of having to think about what I'm going to wear. Dang it's hard.

// alive in You!

a true leader

Saturday, 18 July 2009, 10:07 pm

More than enough
You're more than enough
You're more than enough for me
----
A little kid when gone astray would need his parents to guide him back on the right path. After repeated reminders and being given the freedom to choose, there would come a time where the bucket would be tipped over. I guess today's service was like a spiritual father trying to make us come back to that united vision of the church. God's not blind! He knows, and thank God for Pastor! We could've walked astray but thank God for such a great leader! One thing that pastor said really struck me. "don't be a lukewarm christian anymore, it's time to take a stand". I guess I've been fooling with my Christianity all these while. Thinking that I could get the best of both worlds. But God wants me to only have Him. Time to be hot. Time to be passionate. Time to burn with His holy fire. I felt this sermon was long overdue but it's better late than never. God has His plan. He's doing something in our hearts. He's preparing us for something greater. I guess everyone including me have some spiritual workout to get to.

1 Prayer
2 Praise
3 Hunger for God's word
4 Unity in heart and mind.

The 4 things that i really brought home. I thank God for a mighty man who dares to speak up, and i thank God for a mighty man who set the examples for us to follow. A living testimony so the church can run after that common vision. It's no wonder why the church is still growing. God has blessed Pst Kong's life so greatly. I believe this round of churchwide discipleship would not break the church but would make us stronger, more united and more focus in seeing the cause of Christ fulfilled on this earth.

//In UNITY there is power. With power we can do greatness!

recovery

Friday, 17 July 2009, 11:01 am

And all the praise and glory to God

We sing Hallelujah, sing Hallelujah

For the King has carried the cross

He is risen from the grave

--------
Still in the process of recovery. You may ask why re you even blogging? You should be resting. I slept for more than 20 hrs yesterday. Was out of my bed when i had to visit the doctor and to take my medicine. Laid on my bed so long my back was aching. Now I'm still feeling extremely giddy and i can't even walk straight. I can't think properly either so pardon the bad grammar. 2 days MC IMO is not enough. But since tmr's a Sat, guess there wasn't a need for more.

TWO 5 ZERO!

Wednesday, 15 July 2009, 9:25 pm

It's my 250th post! I know i promised a huge mega post talking about my life etc. However due to unforeseen circumstances, I'm unable to do it! I'm down with a 38.3 degrees celsius FEVER! GOSH! I'm darn sick right now. All thanks to Thesis that aggravated the problem. however, even in much pain today, i managed to type finish my first draft! 2013 WORDS!! What an accomplished feeling!

My Mid years are over. It's very obvious through the results the fact whether I'm doing my quiet time and am close to GOD. During my H1 papers at the dawn of the holidays, i was quite very close to God. SOS and all helped me. Thus, I did well fro my H1 Papers! Math was a great improvement to an actual B, but due to notations problems, i dropped a grade to a C. But this is still worth rejoicing! I improved from a borderline pass! Math=59%.

GP was awesome too. One of my personal best. Though not very fantastic, I still have to Thank God! I was expecting to fail my essay at least cos i felt that i wrote rather inadequately on a topic i am so confused about. Marriage. But nonetheless by the grace of God, i got 28/50! I was so shock! I almost screamed Hallelujah out loud! My paper 2 was also shocking! I got top in class with 29/50. Though it doesn't sound fantastic but i believe God will bring me from glory to glory. If i'm not wrong, I'm 2nd in class overall. Thank God.

But the H2 took a turn for the worse. I failed both chem (as expected) and econs! Econs was an utter disappointment. I passed my case study with 45%, however, i failed my essays. Overall, 43.666667%. So near to passing yet so far. An S grade. Hais. My class had one pass for chem and 2 passes for econs. For econs, my class faired the worst! That's bad! It goes to show how when I'm not connected to God, I'm far away from His grace and mercy. Well a learning point indeed. I'm going to work hard by mugging with God! Having a relationship with Him! He's all i need!

Hillsong's new album Faith+Hope+Love is out! Really love it. Songs that have now become anthems in my head! Aside from Hillsong, Candice mentioned that she's singing God of my forever in her church! Was quite surprised! haha. Had a dream of collaboration a few days ago but didn't expect it to be so real! haha.

Chanced upon one of Stven Curtuis Chapman's song entitled "Bring It On". The lyrics to me is very raw. It provokes the listener. Really reminds me the reason for storms in my life is to make me lean on God even more, to know that when I am weak, God is strong!
to be continued....

//Bring it on, Let the trouble come, let it make 
me fall on the One who’s strong, Bring it on, Let me be made weak so I’ll know 
the strength of the One who’s strong

GLOW!

Wednesday, 8 July 2009, 12:05 am

VERSE 1

Lost and stranded, empty handed

Broken down and all alone

Your mercy it entered Into darkness

And enfolded us in love


PRE-CHORUS

We give You all we are

For the glory of Your Name

We give all we are

For Your praise


VERSE 2

Just a glimmer, of Your glory

And the earth falls to its knees

You level the mountains with a whisper

And You calm the raging seas


CHORUS

Let the earth, Come to life

In the light of heaven's GLOW

And the streets, Sound with joy

As the shackles lose their hold

You laid down Your life For one and all

So we give all we are

To You alone


VERSE 3

This means freedom, for the captives

And good news for those in need

Your message is justice, and compassion

God of love and Prince of Peace


BRIDGE

With one voice

We sing hallelujah

All the earth

Cry out hallelujah

With the angels

Sing hallelujah

Jesus Christ is King


// coming soon. THE BIG TWO FIVE O!

NEW THINGS pt2

Tuesday, 7 July 2009, 12:39 am

A new handphone! Samsung Preston! I'm hating it to the core. I miss the keypad, I miss the fast bluetooth. I miss my SE C905 though it has failed me time and time again. In any case, it's time I move on anyway.

Hillsong's new album! It's nice. It's good. But it's shorter than ever. But a worthwhile listen. Good songs. Very much written out of love for our Heavenly father! Go grab it and let the praises RING!

A new bag! ok a 2nd hand one. But it's an upclass de. No more ripcurl or some japalan bag. Bought it at MAJOR 20% discount from original price. But thinking about it. 2nd hand bags should be at least 50% off! In anycase, I'm already liking my new bag!

Had an impromtu day out which destroyed any idea of STUDYING! Went to watch transformers, repair my phone, shopped for samuel's bag, ate at stock pot. Wanted to eat soup spoon to save money cos I have a free GRANDE bowl and a LARGE Iced Tea but NO.....Sam had to suggest stock pot. It wasn't anything fantastic but it was slightly cheaper than Soup Spoon. It wasn't very filling but as Sam said, it's LOW CARBS! so for the weight i wanna drop, it's worth the portion but not the WALLET! ARGH!

In anycase, I'll be studying tmr and have tuition with my cousin. Not excited at all. Going to miss leader's meeting with A.R.Bernard! ARGH! unfair lah! I want to attend too! Oh well. My kind cell group members have a lot more to copy! haha

//Heaven glows!

hype or true emotions?

Sunday, 5 July 2009, 10:18 pm

Served in Choir today. A renewed passion to sing in choir again. But truthfully I don't know if it was cos i was comfortable or was I truly wanting to serve God.
All this while I've been quite astray yet He has been patient with me. I pray He'll continue to love me like he used to.
Service was really interesting as it was our first decentralised service. Quite a milestone indeed. Talents were released and many people rose up to the occasion. Had dragon boat thingy after that. quite fun

I feel there's a new song arising. A song of freedom and a song to bring peace. It's just burning within me right now. Sure to be bloggin about it soon. haha btw my 250th post is coming up. So I'm preparing to make it MAJORLY BIG! haha watch out for it! (:

more than just

Saturday, 4 July 2009, 1:06 am

I was about to talk about my fears of talking to people but after some thought, I've decided to blog about what good God has done in my life. And the things that have been happening around me recently.

First up, CHC's going to celebrate 20 years of growth in 29 days! So exciting. It's amazing how a church can grow from 20 to 27ooo in just 20 years! Truly a MILEstone! I thank God for a family of people who have seen me through thick and thin and some are still very much in love with God! I thank God for a place I can find refuge even though I've been astray most of the time and even now! 20 years is just awesome. Will talk more about it when the celebrations are full swing!

Talking about straying. I guess I'm now less innocent about things. I see things from a different perspective now. Some not in a good light but nonetheless I'm not living a sheltered protected stuck in a bubble life. I guess when I fall and learn to climb up, I'll grow. It's human nature I guess. But that said, I'm not condoning the illicit lifestyle that I live. Just that it's my life and path I choose, I pay the price for walking this way. Guess I'm quite short sighted but I'm experiencing it all.

The friendships that I've made have been ok. I guess I'm pretty much always freaked out and overs-sensitive and trying to protect my self-interest that I forget about people and my friendships don't last that long. However, I'm still thankful for the past friendships and current friendships. Those who have seen me through hell and high water.

Ok it's sounding real emo and all but just in case I can't write this on my birthday cos of prelims, at least it's here and I've written at least an introduction to my thank you speech.

Anyway, moving on to life, exams are sort of over. Left with CSE essay which I'm going to research on WIKI. How convenient eh? In any case, it's the last paper which means I won't need to be cramping. I'll just need to have a steady momentum now leading up to the big As!

I know I've never mentioned this before but MOLLY WOOD'S AWESOME. She's on CNET TV. Buzz report and occasionally on BOL! Go watch here if you can. @ cnettv.com
I really like her style of sarcastic journalism. Totally my cup of tea! Brutal yet amusing and loveable.

*disclaimer-you don't need to comprehend this. It's not about God*
My relationship with him is like my vice. Just like smoking is to ahbeng and sex is to prostitute, so is my relationship with him. He feeds a certain area of my emotional life that I long for satisfaction, and he reveals things to me beyond the facade. It's bad. But I've sacrificed for this friendship. I don't know if it's right to continue or let go. I'm not in love. I'm just addicted to the junk I'm feeding on. Just like McDonald's is to Ronald. Oh well. One thing's for sure, I can't blame anyone for leading me astray. I chose this path. I'll just have to see what's up at the next crossroad.

Electrico's my new fave band. Apparently it's due to them singing this year's NDP theme song that attracted me to listen to them. Thousand applaud for rising local talents. They truly cross new frontiers for us. Did I mention that SUN HO makes SG proud too? I guess her breaking the American market is something commendable. Heck what the critics have to say. How far have they gone? Not much pass their keyboard and flickering screens!

Ok I'm pretty much done blogging. Have an awesome weekend! I know I will. Decentralised service + finally serving in choir is another MILEstone for me. Get it? MILE-stone? haha

//more than just... life seen from a facade. So is love more than just mere words.

God Of Nations

Thursday, 2 July 2009, 12:37 am

Every heart that beats with greatness inside us
Is waiting for our moment in this world
To ignite every soul ablaze to run this race
And our dream is just a breath away

Every step we take we know we're not alone
Our destinies have brought us to this place
With one voice as the church united here we stand
A part of You shows me who I am

God of nations
This is our song of salvation
This is the voice of the nations
Lifting our hearts to you
King forever
You are our hope and foundation
We trust Your Holy name
Jesus alone You reign

a week later...

Wednesday, 1 July 2009, 10:58 pm

AFTER 3 Essays
3 Case Studies
3 Chem structured essay questions, I'M STILL ALIVE! WOOHOO!

Econs essays were ok. Lot's of logical crap in my opinion. Hope it will turn out well. 2 Econs case studies next. Not that bad either. Chem today was BAD BAD BAD BAD...can't quantify how bad it was. and then CSE case study. Was WHOLE LOT OF MORE CRAP! haha But i feel satisfied! This is the 2nd time in my whole life i'm using finish a refill ink! And the first time that i'm going to refill it for the 3rd time! It's a MILEstone!

Left with Chem paper 1 and 2 on fri and CSE essays next wed. Planning to study in yt tmr, then go down to the airport to wait for my parents who are coming back at like 2300+++. Finally going to see them after a WHOLE WEEK of them gone enjoying themselves! HOPE THEY BOUGHT TRUCKLOADS of CLOTHES! WAHAHAH!

I'm actually quite sad now. Though it doesn't seem like it. I think I'm not in the teenage band. and I'm quite sad nonetheless. I guess God's doing a work in my life. Ironing out some issues that my sinful life is laden with. Oh well. I need to focus on studying and more studying. Though i keep having the feeling of wanting to get attached. oh well. Time will reveal truth.

// in my life and thought there are so many things that need the change that only YOUR love can bring.
