Cinderella

Recently there was a really sad news that Steven Curtis Chapman's 5 year old adopted daughter passed away in an unfortunate accident. 

A few years ago he wrote a song inspired by her.

Here's a music video on the wonderful song and the story behind it.  

oh no... my birthday is in 1 week's time.  oh man, time passes so fast... I'm growing old!!!! Argh... haha... I don't want to grow older.  

Ha ha but as my birthday approaches, it makes me a bit nostalgic and causes me to reminisce about the past... 

if you were my age you would probably remember:

- Buses were non aircon and had red seats.  Super buses were really super

- The MRT track ended at "Yishun"

- Mediacorp was called SBC

- We had lousy waxy paper text books that tears every time you try to erase 

- They introduced PETS text books

- You could buy a bowl of noodles for 40 cents at the school tuck shop

- The malaysia channels had the best cartoons

- Watching cartoons like Smurfs, Transformers, My little Pony, care bears and MASK (not the green one)

- Wee Kim Wee was president

- There were no 2 dollar notes ( I think.. if i remember correctly)

- Har Par Villa and Tang Dynasty were considered an exciting places

- Big Mac came in styrofoam boxes and there was no such thing as upsize

- There was a playground on the roof of Wisma Atria

- The walkman was the coolest thing you could have

- There was no such thing as the world wide web

Wow... as i think of it, lots of things have changed... Thank God I have changed too... =)  Thank God I found Jesus in my life... 

With God, I know that the future is going to be amazing!

Seoul, Korea

Hey.. I realised that it's not easy keeping up with blogging.  ha ha.. but i also realised that people actually do read my blog.  Even Isabel from all the way from Canada knew that i killed Elmo. 

Anyway... I recently came back from Korea and had an awesome time visiting Pst Cho Yonggi's church.  The world's largest church at 750,000 members.  It was mind blowing and faith stretching to see such an amazing church.  It was a great great privilege as well.  So grateful to Pastors for bringing me along in this trip.  It literally changed my life.  I'll try to talk more about it another time.  

But a picture is worth a 1000 words so in the mean time i'll just post up some photos I took.

At the Seoul Olympic Stadium

At Yoido Full Gospel Church building

15 mins before service the place would have been filled and people literally run into service when the doors open.

They have 7 services every sunday starting from 7 am and each service seats 15,000

They have at total of 11 choirs and 3 Orchestras... 

The key to the success of the church is prayer and having dreams and vision.  And I'm so inspired to grow in these areas.
