Classic

Hey there! Woo alright have finally gotten something that I've been looking forward to for quite some time: a 160GB iPod Classic! For all my Christian Music and anime needs, and also partially as a harddisk. So far 70GB has been used... Looking for more anime to fill up the remaining space. Well, SERVE is going pretty well, and for the past few days we've been learning about the call of God, and how every little thing in our lives prepare us for our callings that we have been given by God. And it reminded me of my med rejection. Now that I look back, there are reasons why that happened, and this form of suffering will eventually lead to the bearing of fruit for God's sake. And its pretty humbling learning that. If I didn't experience that I'd probably not be a cell leader right now, I'd probably not be in SERVE, and I'd probably never meet my NS friends. To conclude, everything in life, even negative happens for a reason. I'm where I am today because of

Boot Camp

Well, it all passed by in a flash, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. My group won overall for the camp games and amazing race, and also joint top for the dragon boat race! Yay yay. Got 12 $5 starbucks vouchers as a result. That is despite the fact that we were the most relaxed and laid back group. Haha. Things we did include: A treetop adventure course Dragon Boating 3 sessions by pastor Glenn Lim on God's nature and character 2 sessions of team games But above it all, I've been encouraged by my group members, who have shown me that no matter what the circumstance, what our backgrounds are, how our walk with God has been, He still uses us in awesome, mighty ways to show each other His all encompassing love. Even though we are all sinners, He still shows us His presence in our lives, and that should be more than enough for us. All around us, the other groups were being so enthusiastic, so hyper and so excited about everything. That in itself is great, but I love what my group did ins

SERVE's Up

Hey everyone... For the first time in awhile I'm really really really really really excited... And that in itself is a major understatement. At 4pm today, I'll be going down to Potong Pasir (Ah... The memories of PW meetings), to SAV, and attending my very first briefing, as well as a consecration service. Can't wait. 3 hours... I think that paragraph is more than enough for you guys to understand hahaa. See ya, more posts soon.

Innocence

Finally got around to cleaning up my links for my blogger... A lot of people have stopped blogging, or have locked their journals, and these have been removed from the links. Some have been added, notably some of the young-uns from my youth group lol. Well... I guess most people know how easily I get embarrassed, especially when playing games, but once again for games day on Sunday, no such thing happened. And what made me especially happy was that my cell won. =) =) Thinking about the cell name, and have sort of decided on one, but I'll have to confirm with Sarah first. When the leaders came together to talk about who should be in which cell on saturday everything just fell into place, and I believe only God could've done it that way. So I'm perfectly convinced that all our cells each have a very special purpose, and we're all brought together by God for a reason. I'm really excited to know what those reasons are... Only time will tell, but I really think my cell i

Waku Waku

Honestly I've never thought so hard or so much in my life... But that's how it goes when you make decisions that you feel will impact the lives of many people around you. Now that I'm a CGL, I see how much responsibility it takes for every single little choice. I relish the challenge, but I'm afraid of failure; not of my own, but of others should I choose wrongly. Perhaps I should relax a bit on it and let things take its course? On saturday, God will do the deciding for us yeah. Another challenge thats coming up will be SERVE 2010. I've taken a good look at the programme, and it calls for a really big lifestyle change from slacking around to going out and about. Need some time to adjust to that... But its ultra exciting. Even more exciting is COGS Combined Church Camp (CCCC) 2010! From 13th to 16th June. I've looked through the programme for that as well, and I'm stoked to be part of the planning committee. Look forward to it everyone! Pretty excited about

Realization

If there's one word I had to use to describe 2009, it would be the word realization. I remember a long long time ago in one of my blog posts I said that I didn't have any loves or hates or anything like that, because I only classified things according to how important they were to me. It held true until the last half of 2008, and for the year 2009 I guess all that has changed. Thanks to army, and thanks to earlier disappointments, I have come to realise and understand how much loving and hating is a part of life that shouldn't be ignored. Over the course of the year, I have learnt that there are many things I hate... Things like: Going to Malaysia (actually Malaysia in general) Doctors who cheat their patients or aren't committed Redundancy, especially when doing important things Changing my schedule for the day because of unexpected reasons People who try to get close to me, only to say something offensive The colour pink A messy room Items that don't belong to me
