wmm retreat

wmm retreat was surprisingly great! so much fun and mental relaxation though didn't sleep much on sunday night, tok tok tok. it's been such a long time since i had a real rest, tanjong puteri is still a great place for a very short retreat. the various fun games, standing on the back of wayne's car and enjoying the wind n view of golf resort, the resort's big space and cold air-con, the glorious food. nice.. =)

uncle Albert's sharing abt worship being the Harp and Bowl ministry sounds chim but it's not difficult to understand.

..fun la, the retreat.. =)

ok, gotha catch some sleep and wake up early to do some own work before working tomorrow. don't wanna spend more than ten mins blogging. paid some bills just now thru e-banking, tomorrow gotha go pay the rest, woah, money - hard come easy go.

How are mornings beautiful

How are mornings beautiful? When you wake up early due to the sound of falling rambutans, open your groggy eyes and stumble out to the garden to see dozens of morning flowers blooming yellow against the rising sun.

How are mornings beautiful? When you felt the cold dew kissing your feet and dad's there plucking the fruits. When beds of vegetables and young shoots waking up to your footsteps, and the bird-chirping silence danced alive.

How are mornings beautiful? When you look back and mom's packing the fruits, she prepares breakfast thereafter and had a sip of coffee. And you switch off the fan, knock the door to wake up your sis. she walks around in blurriness and brushes her teeth.

How are mornings beautiful? When the immense gratitude to God rises up from your heart that you're truly blessed to be born into this family.

ok, gotha pack for wmm retreat, fetch new friend and go to church.

Talk and talk

It's nice to be back to TEENz twice after exam is over. Though July is coming too soon and I might have to stay longer in Singapore to study and have more rest after weekday's strenuous work which I am yet to get in full terms with. Arg, I really need to depend on daily grace to get through this dynamic routine again. mold mold mold...

So.. attended TEENz. Was unusual at first, cos so long never come, but became real nice, see all the young ones in TEENz, talked to old friends till very late, catch up after the months gone. Talked to teens, drummers, coordinator... blah blah.. talk and talk.. sit and talk, stand talk, phone talk. see my sis lead worship, listened to her give testimony. "hao4 lian4" to my ex-cell member that she's my sister. ha. Talked abt Transformers 2 with him while listening to testimonies. bad .. bad... he haven't watch the movie yet he knows all the fight scenes, amazing.

Received sms & calls from old primary & secondary school friends.. Surprisingly received one from Taiwan. Encouraged him to attend church in Taiwan, he said got approached by them b4 but said he likes to depend on himself, wah, sian. unusual, like suddenly there's a small group of non-christian friends to listen to their problems.

then there's this long conversation with a missionary a few days ago, got me all excited about short-term trips and I've planned. So already submitted this plan to God and see how will it be materialised ba.

tomorrow is sunday service and gonna fetch another new friend. Hope that FGC is a good place for him. Wow i'm so hoping that wmm retreat is relaxing n great fun, wah haven't pack yet, guess i will pack tomorrow b4 going church.

i'm tired now but feels like there's a million thoughts swimming in my head.

I will Love - Hillsong

Soon (Hillsong United)

Soon and very soon
My King is coming
Robed in righteousness
And crowned with love
When I see Him, I shall be made like Him
Soon and very soon

Soon and very soon
I'll be going to the place He has prepared for me
Then my sin erased, my shameful garden
Soon and very soon

I will be with the One I love
With unveiled face I'll see Him
There my soul with be satisfied
Soon and very soon

Soon and very soon
See the procession
The angels and the elders round the throne
At His feet I lay
My grant, my wishing
Soon and very soon

I will be with the One I love
With unveiled face I'll see Him
There my soul with be satisfied
Soon and very soon

Though I have not seen Him
My heart knows Him well
Jesus Christ the Lamb, the Lord of heaven

I will be with the One I love
With unveiled face I'll see Him
There my soul with be satisfied
Soon and very soon
Soon and very soon
Soon and very soon
(Chorus and ending)

God is Cheering for You

God is Cheering for You
by Max Lucado

If your God is Mighty enough to ignite the sun, could it be that He is mighty enough to light your path?

God is for you. Not "may be," not "has been," not "was," not "would be," but "God is!" He is for you. Today. At this hour. At this minute. As you read this sentence. No need to wait in line or come back tomorrow. He is with you. He could not be closer than he is at this second. His loyalty won't increase if you are better nor lessen if you are worse. He is for you.

God is for you. Turn to the sidelines; that's God cheering your run. Look past the finish line; that's God applauding your steps. Listen for him in the bleachers, shouting your name. Too tired to continue? He'll carry you. Too discouraged to fight? He's picking you up. God is for you.

God is for you. Had he a calendar, your birthday would be circled. If he drove a car, your name would be on his bumper. If there's a tree in heaven, he's carved your name in the bark. We know he has a tattoo, and we know what it says. "I have written your name on my hand," he declares (Isa. 49:16).

Emo is the new cool.

Emo is the way of life, the new cool. Because emo is who you really are. because you experience life in a more realistic, artistic, emotional level. normal people won't understand. life sucks, it's quite unfair, you never get what u need and want. and sometimes people hurts. It is quite impossible to move on, but someone sees, someone out there will one day see you as you are, just hang on. tomorrow will be better. he/she will come back soon. Emo is real, nobody feels joy in whole, happiness is fleeting and shallow. So brace yourself..

..

what a load of crap! =P

Somebody else came to give you life, and life abundantly. So don't live the lie so comfortably. If not you will reach beyond 17 or 21 very soon and wonder why you've wasted your high school life chasing after the wind. Wind is things you will regret. God is not wind.

---------------------

ok, now i have it out of my system. life after exam is good, weekend, i went to my sec sch friend's home for wii with the gigantic tv n home theatre, then buffet steamboat. Life as a working young adult does have its perks. though my friend still don't want to come to church at the end of the day, but it's nice fun n we had many meaningful conversations.

work life came crashing back in again but it's enjoyable. k la, gotha go read some great books, do some OT, swim and sleep.
