A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.

A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.

A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

Ever sat with a bunch of strangers in their sixties knowing that they are related to you? Well thats what happened to me when my Grandma brought me to her elder brother's son's wedding whom i've never seen in my life time.

Being the eldest and first born Sng, I've been heavily 'utilized' by my grand ma when it comes to functions like these coz most of my aunts and uncles won't want to go and either my dad or i have to represent the family..My Grand ma has 10 siblings and imagine if each bore on average 8 in the family and after that bore on average 2-3!! Plug us out and place us in an island and we could create Sngapore!!

but anyway, i really had fun there!! the minute i went to the restaurant, all the seniors would mold my face and keep chanting" WHOA Le Si Ah Tao(my dad's nick name) eh Kia ah!!whoa Jing Nhia leh..."
The last time they saw me was when i was speaking in tongues and running naked around the house not knowing what the world was...

They have thought me so many things and gave me a HISTORY lesson of my family=) The atmosphere of awkwardness slowly moved to an atmosphere of knowing more about our lost ones...they gave me a GEOGRAPHY practical of where they used to live and what that place has become now...Soon, they moved on to HOME ECONS on the different ways of cooking fish as they used to be fisherman. Finally before the wedding dinner was over, they sum up 50 years of experience into a half an hour PHILOSOPHY lesson.

Well, picking up a conversation with a senior is certainly a skill and requires a lot of patience..But overall, these bunch of strangers whom i used to call them, are now my grand uncles.

IN CHEMISTRY, HE TURNED WATER TO WINE.
IN BIOLOGY, HE WAS BORN WITHOUT THE NORMAL CONCEPTION,
IN PHYSICS, HE DISPROVED THE LAW OF GRAVITY WHEN HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN
IN ECONOMICS, HE DISPROVED THE LAW OF DIMINISHING RETURN BY FEEDING 5000 MEN WITH TWO FISHES & 5 LOAVES OF BREAD
IN MEDICINE, HE CURED THE SICK AND THE BLIND WITHOUT ADMINISTERING A SINGLE DOSE OF DRUGS
IN HISTORY, HE IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END
IN GOVERNMENT, HE SAID THAT HE SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, PRINCE OF PEACE
IN RELIGION, HE SAID NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH HIM

He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives TODAY!!

Who is this person?
he is my father, he is my friend, he is my teacher, he is my advisor, he is my refuge, he is my King, he is Jesus.

Can you imagine what it is like to cross the vast ocean? For weeks you see nothing but the horizon, perfect and empty. You live in the grip of fear; fear of storms, fear of sickness on board, fear of the immensity.

So u drive that fear down deep into your belly, Study your charts, watch your compass and pray for a calm fair wind, and HOPE, that pure, naked and fragile HOPE.

At first it’s no more than a haze on the horizon, So you watch...Then it’s a smudge, a shadow on the far water, for a day, for another day. The stain slowly spreads along the horizon taking form until the third day, you let yourself believe. You dare to whisper the word- LAND, life! Resurrection, the true adventure coming out of the vast unknown, out of the immensity, into new life, into the new World.

Hope...Hope..

Thou Shall Have No Other Food Before Me!!

Ever looked at a kid and see his/her innocence? How they express themselves?At a young age, without thought or comprehension, they say I'm sorry, or I Love you to you because they know you have showered your love on them.
As they grow older and come into a relationship, they tend not to express that much because of the fear of affecting the other person's feelings and find it very 'EEEeee' to say it...

As much as Men like me hate to admit, we to an extent are also emotional beings..The thing the prevents us from saying it out or expressing it is- E.G.O...I've realized that generally, men like me want women to pamper and show their affections to us but not want to admit it openly...All you need to do is swallow your big ass ego and say I'm sorry, i love you and you'll turn her storm into calm seas.

Welcome to my Life=)

Ymlc was extraordinary..!!I have lost 3 days worth of proper exercising but i've gained 10 years worth of knowledge to Exercice!It has opened my eyes to many things unseen or usually unspoken of in the Methodist church.
The one thing that hit hard on me in this confrence was fruitfullness(the evidence of discipleship), Pastor Boon Hup was talking about making other disciples not being incorrect but IMCOMPLETE; we are reproducing ourselves, not God.If we are spirit led, we should be producing the fruits of the spirit Right=)

Anyway, going to have my 12 hour of slumber...I have Been Revived!!

Some Cool picts i found!!

Yhip Yhip!! i can hear the grass grow...

Life of a Leaf...

Quality service!!

If God allowed you to turn back 10 years, what would you do?

Its like a flu bug..it spreads like wild fire causing a great symphony of sneezes throughout everyone...thats whats going on with my projects...this week is the completion week with reportS to hand up and presentationS to be made IN FORMAL...2 weeks later, Exams...well no one would want this kind of timing where projects and exams happen in the same month and term...

At least a ScArY and fun time at the Kallang ice skating with Precious and her other half mitigated the stress!! Imagine all the Mitsubishis, Lamborghinis and Porshes at the skating ring!!...I'm the tour bus...Most importantly, Abel enjoyed!!

back projects and assignments....

This House is SOOO Cool!!!

As we all know, this is the time of the year where projects and assignments flourish!! One day seems to be one hour...Everyday when i come to school, as much as i can say i love my course, i seem to be dragging myself to school and wishing SP would be in pasir ris...

thought of lame ideas again on excuses not to do my work like:
1. A sudden gust of wind blew my homework out of my hand and I never saw it again,
2. I have a solar-powered calculator, and it was cloudy,
3. I made a paper plane out of it and it got hijacked,
4. I felt it wasn't challenging enough,
5. We have assignments meh?

Anyway...it as been tiring...

This is by far the most hectic week of the YEAR man!! Guess this is gonna be another pimple season... piles full of projects tests the power of my neurons to plan, decide and delegate the work load...Well at least what I've learnt in camp has made my planning MUCH MUCH EASIER!!wohoo!! Things become clearer with a process and system=)

I know the BMT guys are gonna beat me up for this but..I cant wait for ARMY!!ok lah..Like what Isaac said, its not the physical attack or 'sianess' but the inner heart attack...haiyah...

Anyway, Happy Birthday bro!!

Saving $2.50 and Gaining a whole lot of ENDURANCE!!!

Hope Ah Teng is doing well in mst too man...fierce...Imagine squeezing a little bird till its cheeks got bloated and on the brink of bursting like a mini balloon...well thats how my MST were...

Was thinkin crazy like ways to fail exams:
1.Get a copy of the exam, run out screaming "Andre, Andre!, I've got the secret documents!

2.Do the exam with crayons, paint, or fluorescent markers.

3.Talk the entire way through the exam, read the questions aloud and debate my answers with myself out loud. If asked to stop, yell out sarcastically, "I'm so sure you can HEAR! me thinking." Then start talking about how his lecture was boring.

4.On the answer sheet find a new, interesting way to refuse to answer for every question like"I Refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it conflicts with my thoughts, feeling and beliefs"

5.Rip up all the papers into very small pieces, throw them into the air and yell out "Merry Christmas!!"

6. Complete the entire exam in another language or just make one up! like using Roman numerals or mixing up the words eg: The Asnewr to tihs qeutison cnnaot be fuond.

7.Bring a SUPER SOAKER!, don't need to explain right...

8. Do the algorithm dance in front of the lecturer!!

9.Wrestlemania!!

okok, enough...Will start on Mark from Sunday onwards...
Driving in the middle of the night was Fun! on the same day after my exams, went driving along orchard with sec friends from 12 onwards and listening to relaxing music...well.. A good time to cool down after exams!!shall do that again one day!!

Yeah man!!!

YEAH!!

YEAHrrr!!

AH HUH!!!

YEARh man!

Oh YEAH!!

My Next Goal!!!

Hai...Was literally feeling RAW man....Just that monday morning after a whole 17 hour snooze, skipping dinner and breakfast, Out of no where i just jumped out of my SPRING BED and Eh!!what time it it now??!!oh S*** Ber is so gonna kill me for group leaders meeting man!!die die, and my mind was running and clickeing on today's event...took me about 5min to realize camp was over and i was in my room!!!...haiyah Su tala werteh!!....

Well, this camp impacted me in many ways, amongs the typhoon and hurricanes, i smiled and praised God every moment!!.. I tell you, without this God given Supportive Camp Comm and a admin instruction that didn't work, ka le tah hor, sure die one...

The best experience i ever had was letting go of my fear of worship leading and just saying to God-I may sing out of voice, but my heart sings in tune, worshiping You and while waiting for Glenn to come, i saw God's beautiful art piece infront of me...120 youths opening their door for Him to enter...A small group member told me, i think Elisha is possessed, i said YES!!! he is possessed by the Holy spirit!!!Come for the next camp and see!!

After reflecion,it summerises into Two main things...

1. The fundamentals of Success lies in the Application of God's Principles...
2. We make a living by what we get, BUT we make a life by what we Give

This camp comm i believe, Offered our hearts to God and to these youths, because of that, we became a life group=)

A slave was 'redeemed' when someone paid money to buy his/her freedom. God redeemed us from the oppression of Sin not with money, but with the precious blood of His son(1Peter 1:13).Its by the Grace of God....

WHAT IS GRACE??
God's
Redemption
At
Christ's
Expence

The next camp will be different and Better!!!!

Love God, Love others, Amen...

The Joy in Fellowship=)

Wow, its been a long time since i've blogged, these few weeks has been so time consuming. Time feels so limited and constrained.Planning is as what i would have expected to happen;tough and challenging as what Daryl would have adviced me. Planning for a camp without weather or safety would be easy. With the caprice of singapore's unpredictable weather, it could veer a favourabe location back to our safety net. There was a certain ineptness in my decision or thought..

Prayer and faith are the oxygen and blood to this stressful yet ardent love of mine.

The DAY, that good attitude blew them AWAY...
