Mugging Time

2005-04-01T06:47:00.000-08:00

Well...projects are finally over. I can finally take a break from the stress of programming. Anyone out there who has done programming before, you know what I'm going thru. For those of you unacquainted to programming. Well stay away from it, it shortens ur life. Haha...seriously don't touch programming unless you have the flair for it. Now that projects are over, exams are looming over the horizon. Just a few short days till the first paper arrives. So you guessed it, I am mugging for my exams at the moment. Can't wait to get over with school life.
Everyone has been talking about it so I guess I should mention it as well. <> went well, the actors n actresses were good even though they are just mostly sec 1's n 2's. The props people were fast and on the ball. Unfortunately the PA flopped. The mics weren't working very well. I was quite disappointed by it. Should have thought of it earlier. Shouldn't have put the receivers at the back of the stage, completely broke down the reception. So much for being apt with the PA equipment. But that was the only downside of the whole production. The great thing was that 13 people received salvation. How cool is that? 13 people with a new lease of life. Eternity in heaven. Singaporeans are known to rush into things that are free. Salvation is free. Start rushing people.

Power Of Your Blood Destroy All The Lies

2005-03-19T09:27:00.000-08:00

Trying to find how i can give my equal best in church and in my school work. I'm seriously tired out by my school project and it is quite frustrating. I just can't figure it out and im stressed by it. Friends who know me, know that I'm not someone who is stressed easily but this time, the stress is real and its a heavy burden on my shoulder. I'm just lost...I can't do it. I'm scared of letting my group down.
The Good Friday Production is going along very well. Except for some minor synchronisation problems between the actors n the sound n visual, everything seems to be turning out very smoothly. Kudos to the cast for making the play as believable as it is. Even though they're mostly sec 1's, 2's and 3's they are quite good. I'm proud of them, for having the passion and the desire to act in a GF play and play a part in changing a person's life forever. Not for self, not for worth, not for attention but for the very souls of people who we're winning for Christ.
Caron sang this song called "Why", which talks about why Jesus must die. And the reason. You...and Me...That is WHY He must die.
Nicole shared about encouragement to others today and I'm thankful for that reminder that time n time again we must always remember to exhort one another cause we're all fellow workers in the harvest field. Even though at times, many things we do are not seen by people. God sees it and rewards us as well. I'll gladly be a dinner runner for life even if it as much as helps to save a soul. No task is too small or too big to be ignored by God. God notices everything.
I was encouraged this week, by people who have known me for quite sometime. I was told that I always have a positive attitude towards life. I thank God for that positivity. People can get sad or angry easily. But not many can just go through troubles with smiles on their faces and I wanna be one of those. I'm thankful for everything that is provided...

Amazing Race

2005-03-13T03:41:00.000-08:00

Cavemen For Christ came in 2nd for the 3rd season of Amazing Race. Guys I can't say how proud I am of everyone of you who ran the race and gave it ur best. We played fair and with as much integrity and energy 2 give even professional athletes a run for their money. Well done everyone! It was an experience for me and also a gd reminder how unashamed you guys are. Super buei paiseh 1 man u guys.

Down To You

2005-03-11T08:46:00.000-08:00

Ohh just watched this show called "Down To You" starring freddie prinze jnr and kate hudson. I've always had a soft spot for kate hudson. Thinks she's a super spanky and energetic actress. Add to the fact that she is cute as well...added bonus! ohh and not forgetting pretty as well. Haha and if u're wondering, yes my blog is pink in color. Kinda gay don't you think? Just a passing fancy. Enjoy!

Home Alone...not really

2005-03-10T08:20:00.000-08:00

My parents are away in JB for a leader's retreat organised by the church. Which leaves my brother and I home alone for 4 days. Cool, I get to run the house for that period of time and be the good big brother that I am. Hope nothing untoward happens. Looking forward to the weekends. My brain needs to rest, I'm so tired...

I'm A Pig

2005-03-08T04:16:00.000-08:00

Man, i'm such a pig...was so tired that i slpt from 5pm-8pm. Only thing that woke me up was my growling stomach. Realised tht i hadn't ate my dinner yet. Shall go take my dinner now. Check back in ltr.

My Aching Back!

2005-03-06T08:10:00.000-08:00

Man...my backs suddenly aching. No idea why. Could be due to my sleeping position. Ugh so uncomfortable. Lord, heal my aching back!

A's galore!!

2005-03-05T08:07:00.000-08:00

W00!!!! I'm so proud of my cell man! God is really gracious and bless our cell richly. Firstly, wanna congratulate Samuel Costa! First in our cell to get a driving license man!! Haha must give us a car ride soon ahz?? Yeahhh and secondly to David, Waldy and Henry!! 4A's each man!! w00h00~~!! Super clever people. Especially Waldy who got 2 distinction for his S paper. Yupzzz God is gracious. Just seeing how well everyone did, im juz amazed at the wisdom God gives us. Many people feel that studying is not important. But i would like to point out that as a student. Our first calling is to do well in our academics. I know it maybe hard, but thru trials like this are we changed to who God 1's us to be.

Happy Chinese New Year!!

2005-02-10T22:26:00.000-08:00

Heyz everyone first of all blessed chinese new year to one and all! Hope everyone enjoyed visiting their relatives and collecting "profits". For me this CNY has been pretty boring, not as exciting or as rowdy as the years before. Pretty quiet CNY, kept falling asleep at my relatives house, so embarassing. But ohh well at least i met up with some cousins which i've not seen for a very long time...ohh yahhh and i just discovered i hv another cousin which i have not known since like day one! Haha first time seeing her, quite a fun person. Anyway the whole new year was spent playing with kids, sorta "babysit" them while the adults exchange stories about how smart their kids were, how big each other's waist have becomed and most important of all how much money they have made. Sheesh...i hope next time when i become an adult I do not have to entertain this kinda conversation. I mean its quite horrible, you meet each other like maybe twice a year and all you talk about is your assets. Whats up with that?!?! Yupz anyway I don't really have much to complain about since I've got a one week break this week.

Waiting For A Heart That Is Not Mine

2005-01-28T19:50:00.000-08:00

I'm still waiting and hoping...

Neverland Found...

2005-01-28T10:01:00.000-08:00

Just came back from watching "Finding Neverland". Nice would not be able to adequately describe the show. In a time where people are all cynical, finding neverland has came up with a nicely time respite for all. The show is naive, innocent and very child like. It appeals to the child in all of us. In a way it is an escapism, to find our very own neverland. A paradise where any imagination comes true as long as u believe it fully. Of course having imaginations come true is quite impossible but then again that's the cynic in me talking. Truly this show has a very nice feel to it. To be introduced into Sir James Matthew Beardie(i think) world of imagination. I guess it is nice to feel like a kid again, in search of my own neverland.

Mini Year One Class Gathering

2005-01-18T08:33:00.000-08:00

Started the day in the worst way possible. As i was seating down on my seat at canteen, i didn't realise that the chair was wet! So when i sat down, it suddenly felt cold...hahaha thn i realised i was seating on water! So there was a very obvious water patch on my pants. Had to walk around trying to cover my butt. So embarrassing.

Had a test today on statistics, being the lazy guy that i am, i waited until the last minute to study for it. But i had my reasons. For today's test, the paper was quite definition based so i guess it was quite easy. Further more, the formulas were provided so didn't have the memorise the formula...phew!

Anyway on to the exciting part of 2day...was looking forward 2 it. A mini class gathering cum birthday celebration. Ate at the marina south steamboat place, dun really know wat its called. It was very fun, cooking and teasing each other. Took many photos and i did a short advertisement for the steamboat place. Haha too bad it won't be showed on tv or anything. After dinner, we proceeded to the arcade and had a really fun time there. We spent almost 2hrs inside playing games. The machine that really kept us hooked was the drum simulator a.k.a Percussion Freaks. Haha everyone in class wanted a turn with the machine. Should have counted how many $1 coins went into that machine alone. Fun times. While waiting for our turn at the machine, Rui Jie and I took up the guitars at the guitar simulator and pretended to play along with the drums. Haha we were jumping around with the guitar, pretending to be rockers and doing guitar solos. But oh well, all gd tings had to end....because we ran out of $$$ to play more games. Really enjoyed myself with my former class. Ohh and Ming Jie...Happy Birthday. May God bless you richly with a year's worth of knowledge and wisdom and may your walk with Him strengthen you.

And So It Begins

2005-01-09T02:11:00.001-08:00

A new journey has just started, a journey of immense potential. A journey of discovery and self realization. Welcome to the official beginning of Project: Creation's Dream. Project: CD was form at the beginning of this year, discussions had been underway since November. It's basically a side band, something like a part time band. Due to the commitment constraits that Cradle of Faith is going to have this year, the band has decided to take a 1yr break to concentrate on our other priorities. To those that were still able to commit, a decision was made to form Project: CD with the remnant members of Elements of Sound. The focus of Project:CD is much more God and music focused. Such that the standard of music has to be of a certain level. In order to really do our best for God, we 1st have to aim for excellence in our band. Yupz, so thats my thoughts on Project:CD. Its gonna be big.

And so another year has gone by and I've turned 19. Thank You God for saving me. Without You, my life won't be what it is today. To my parents, I just wanna thank you for raising me with so much patience and love. For understanding me the most. To my brother, thanks for waking up from your sleep just to wish me happy birthday! And to those who wished me happy birthday, my thanks goes out to you. Thanks for being my friend.

Fellowship of Brothers

2005-01-04T05:31:00.000-08:00

And then there was 7. David and Waldy are going into NS this week. Its kinda sad to see them go. I can tell that Waldy is quite nervous bout it, him being an indon and all. But I have faith God will protect him. David is contemplating between being a pilot or a commando. That's like quite cool man. I teased him about being a pilot to get the girls. Whatever vocation and camp they're gonna b posted to. God has a greater purpose in store, yupz so no worries there. Aaron is only inside for 3wks and is contemplating in signing on for life. Hmm, hopefully the decision was made on impulse.

So far school has been ok. There's a bazaar happening in school so its quite lively. There's this jap stall set up and they're selling some kinda jap pancake/pizza. Tried it today, its quite a discovery!
I find it tasty but its kinda ex...it costs $3! Ohh well, maybe I would try it again.

Feels kinda weird not having to think of uncensored or smash or retreats. Guess its time for a breather. Last year has been a very busy year for me. I think what Eric said was right, I've over-served. Hopefully this year I won't be arrowed to much.

Listening to Ryan Cabrera now. I'm quite into the song true. I connect with the words. Its just so...true (pardon the pun). Alritez nothing more to update.

Spirit Dreams Inside
First entry of the year. I just wanna take this time to sit back and reflect on what the past year has been to me. First thing i wanna mention is my cell group. The greatest bunch of ppl i've ever met, there were so many times when i felt tired and exhausted. But my cell was there to encourage me and push me on and I'm really thankful for them. Thru thick and thin, this fellowship of brothers will go on. The spirit of Caleb is with us. Always thinking positively and making lots of noise. The cavemen R'us.

Second thing i wanna mention is the priviledge for being able to serve God in the worship team. I've matured spiritually all thanks to the worship team. I've learnt that worship is a lifestyle, not something you do during service only.

Lastly to the woman of year 2004...You know who you are. Thanks for the memories.

Disappointment

2004-12-30T08:03:00.000-08:00

I'm saying this with much regret and sadness, but it has to be said. As a body of Christ, we should all be united. Tolerance and patience is important. As a body of Christ, pride should not come in between the way of believers. Unfortunately, the division is quite obvious within the ministry. Shouldn't we speak words the edify and encourage each other? Shouldn't we love one another and tolerate each other with patience? Paul has warned us against this in the bible. Why do we argue the way the world argues? Is it that hard to encourage one another?

I'm very disappointed at what has come out of years of being in a ministry. Is this the way God wants it to be? One thing i've learned, is that we must edify each other as a body of Christ. Why antagonise and blame each other? We are all on the path of glorifying God. My heart is sadden at the thought of it. It makes me wanna step down from the ministry.

Its Over...After all have been said and done. Only one thing matters. People's life were changed, 20 people has made a decision that will forever keep them from the grasps of hell.

Soon, tireness and fatigue will take over me...but before I go...i would like to say thank you to Samantha, Nicole and Liting for doing such a great job with the decor and event mgt. You girls were my encouragement to put in more effort. Zhong Xing, you have affirmed to me how a patient and good director you are. Esmond, leader of the band, everyone was committed and listened to you because of the passion you have shown. Joy and Jingmin, although initially i was pretty frustrated with the way the dance was goin, i had 2 literally eat my words when i saw how brilliant a dance it was considering the constraints that we had.

And of course, to our Father in heaven. Our source of strength, the reason why we've put so much effort into "Uncensored". The One who has blessed us with abundant grace, The One who has shown mercy upon us and most of all The One who was in charge of this whole event.

Two Hour To Change A Life

2004-12-28T07:21:00.000-08:00

Tomorrow is the day. The day where everyone's practise and hardwork takes fruit. A day where every word spoken, every action taken, every words sung will make a difference in a person's life. The chance has been presented to us, will we take it and make something good out of it? Yes, im confident in the cast n crew that is involved. We found our reason for doing this. Not for fame. Not for praise. Not for attention. But for the unsaved people out there.

This event is for you who are unsaved. Come into the loving arms of Christ. Do not leave without Christ making an impact in your heart. Trust Him, He truly loves you. Although We christians maybe be hypocrite @ times, we may appear fake. But all of us have honest motives. That is to share the truth to you.

Will You accept this gift that has already been prepared for you? Will you be willing to give your heart to one who appears unseen but is ever present? Come into the loving arms of Christ. Do not fear, Do no hesistate. Life is short, just look @ what the earthquake has done? Will you die knowing that you've made the right or wrong decision? In death, there can be no regrets. Who dares, win. Do you dare? Are You willing?

Come into the loving arms of Christ....

A New Beginning

2004-12-14T19:24:00.000-08:00

This marks a new beginning in blogging history...i've moved over from diaryland to blogspot. Think that it is more efficient. Hopefully I would be more frequent in my posts.
