Last event before Exam - Asian Night!
Pretty cool events with heaps of Asian cultures.
Jap and Thai Cultures were the most dominant.
Anyway, we performed an English song as well
Enjoy!~
A Twist In My Story (Secondhand Serenade) :
Slow down, the world isn't watching us break down
It's safe to say we are alone now, we're alone now
Not a whisper, the only noise is the receiver
I'm counting the seconds until you break the silence
So please just break the silence
The whispers turn to shouting
The shouting turns to tears
Your tears turn into laughter
And it takes away our fears
So you see, this world doesn't matter to me
I'll give up all I had just to breathe
The same air as you till the day that I die
I can't take my eyes off of you
And I'm longing, for words to describe how I'm feeling
I'm feeling inspired
My world just flip turned upside down
It turns around, say what's that sound
It's my heart beat, it's getting much louder
My heart beat, is stronger than ever
I'm feeling so alive, I'm feeling so alive
My whispers turn to shouting
The shouting turns to tears
Your tears turn into laughter
And it takes away our fears
So you see, this world doesn't matter to me
I'll give up all I had just to breathe
The same air as you till the day that I die
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm finally waking up, a twist in my story
It's time I open up, and let your love right through me
I'm finally waking up, a twist in my story
It's time I open up, and let your love right through me
That's what you get
When you see your life in someone else's eyes
That's what you get, that's what you get
So you see, this world doesn't matter to me
I'll give up all I had just to breathe
The same air as you till the day that I die
I can't take my eyes off of you
This world doesn't matter to me
I'll give up all I had just to breathe
The same air as you till the day that I die
I can't take my eyes off of you

Debut Performance
I just had my debut performance in a band playing secular song as a guitarist (:.
Thanks a lot to my friends for being good at different instruments as well.
Well. It has been a really good night.
What I wanna do now is to turn in and have a great night and a chat with God.

July coming to an end
I've been listening to messages after messages lately.
Anyway, been a little busy lately.
Week 10 has draw to a close today officially.
Every week seems closer to the end (:.
That's very very encouraging eh!
I've a concert coming up this Sunday.
It's a small-scale one.
Songs we're playing.
1) 如果我變成回憶 by Tank
2) 世界唯一的妳 by 曹格
3) A Twist in my story by Secondhand Serenade
Since none of my Uni friends ever came here, I can put it here without fearing details of our performance being leaked out. All three are sentimental songs. While the other bands have 3 rock songs. Lol. Very different la! Lol. But I believe we'll do well man. We are performing for this event called Asian night where different cultures come together and "present" our cultures to the rest of the other Asians. Ha ha. Looking forward to my very first and also last Asian night (:.
It's getting late.

Gethsamane
The Work of Calvary.... Blood that Redeems.... Ever Demands my all.
The end of July is coming to an end.
39 days. Wow. Ha ha. That's a big hint.
I have been reading the Sunday Time's today about the Jakarta bomb... H1N1... And everything in general.
Thanks for some of the friends (esp some of my female friends) who provide insights for me in a couple of stuff. You know who you are. Yeh. I kind of believe that Women are from Venus. I shan't elaborate much, else someone start saying that we aren't better - that we come from Mars. But I take that as a compliment. We're a bigger planet. But you people might argue that "we're hotter" and we're from the hottest planet you know.
Yeh. The debate goes on.
Today should be one of my last few times in Kids' Church.
But the kids never fail to light up my day.
I share a little passage from Acts 16 from the Kids' bible.
Amazing little book.
It talked about Paul and Silas being jailed.
I must admit that I never really knew why they were jailed.
After doing a little bit of research... Then I understand.
Sometimes, the children's bible teaches me more things that the big bible. Lol.
Now I know why they were put in jail!!
Had an amazing time playing hide and seek with the kids.
Really love the kids enjoying themselves at kids' Church.
One of the girls even came twice and she was just excitied about kids' Church.
If there's a reason to keep the parents in Church, sometimes it starts from the kids.
Every parent would want to see his/her kids enjoy in life.
So if the kids love it in kids' church, then there's a chance that they would come along too.
Things around me might be happening.
But when I look toward the future, I see nothing but amazing things.
I have a planned trip with FX this coming October.
My beloved friend! I haven't had a chance to really have a talk with him at any point of our lives. This would be a great time of sharing and understanding each other better.
But before that, I am really looking forward to heading home..
With a really clear mind..
That is what I need and have right now (:
I thank you for that.

There's no time to WASTE
As such, you can see that a generation can range anywhere from 35 years to 100 years. If that is the case, taking 1948 as the starting year of the final generation, the second coming of Jesus could be anywhere from 1983 to 2048. We are living in the very closing hours of human history. It is “near even at the doors” (Matt. 24:33).
Make your life count (:

Drawing to an end.
The time keeps ticking away....
My tenure at Bond University is drawing to a close very very soon.
I look back at the time spent here.
I really love it!
Laughter, joy and disappointment.. We've all been through!!!
Friends are amazing.
Especially when they share the same woes with you.
I've two very good friends that are going through the same stuff with me lately.
Yeah.. Things that happen simultaneously like this happens once in a lifetime.
And the correlation coefficient of all these incidents are close to 1.
But we're just thrown into the same ditch.
Enjoying each others' companies in that little ditch we're in.
We are just cheering each other on to stay positive regardless of what's going to happen.
Life's too short to moan over the things we can't achieve.
It's so good that each of us gets to encourage one another.
I said to them.... We're just going through this "phase" of our lives.
I was already closed to them.
But this incident which coincidentally (maybe not) happened made us even closer as friends.
I thank God for friends... Someone who'll put a hand on your shoulders.
Someone who love you for the way you are.
Love God, people and life above all else.

Birthday Party
Sharon's birthday party has been awesome!!
10.7.09
She hired a hummer (all of us chip in money as well) for all of us.
It's a pink stretched hummer!!
It's my first time sitting inside a hummer with Uni friends and some of her other friends..
After 30 minutes, it felt like the same old thing. Remember the first time you sat on a plane?
There's this 30 minutes of excitement!
But thank God that although we feel this way about things, we can choose not to feel this way about humans.
We love our friends (human) not only for just 30 mins or 1 hr, but for a lifetime.
Of course, it's still a choice!
Anyway....
Tomorrow could signify one of the biggest day of my life!

Things to do, decisions to make, life to move on!
Had kids church in the morning....
Kids are the most adorable thing on the face of this earth.
That's why Jesus said unless you come to me like a little child, you shall by no means enter the kingdom of God. We didn't do much because of school holidays. I got a few of them to lead us in prayer before 40minutes of dodgeball.
Ha ha, I made cameo appearances to help the losing team once in a while before retreating to my umpire role. I was pretty good. Lol. I got someone out on my every other attempt. It's so good to see that things like team work come out of it. There's this really awesome guy called Joey. He's turning 11 years old in grade 5 (Primary 5 equivalent). He has a real heart for people even at his tender age. When he saw that his opposing team players are not sharing the balls, he'll ask them to share the ball to the amongst themselves, he'll especially ask his sister to share the ball. I knew I had to find an opportunity to praise him for such great love for people at his age. He wasn't shy and replied with a humbled "thank you". True humility is not false humility. If I were him at his age, I probably (Or rather, certainly) wouldn't be able to accept such praises and put on a false humility. He is a gentleman at this age too. often giving the ladies the ball while he stands there and cheer them. (Potential candidate... LOL) All of you reading my blog are too old for him. But you certainly wish that this quality is in your dream guy, don't u?
Apart from that, I believe serving God's prize asset in the church (Sorry Young adults and adults) is a great privilege, God's heart will always be with the younger generation. It's such a joy to serve God's most loved. And a great responsibility lies on the shoulders of teachers like myself to shape the belief system of the kids. I never knew I would be able to lead kids, let alone Caucasian kids who only understand me 90% of the time (There's an improvement.. LOL. It used to be that for every other word, they would have to ask me "what are you saying?") Maybe my accent and perfect sentence structure would be completely destroyed once I go back to Singapore. Speaking in proper sentences is the only great thing out of OZ. I guess. lol.
Serving God because we love God and people. Life is as simple as that.
Things are just this simple, but I used to treat things in a more complicated way, not in a good way that is. Touch the next generation of people by the way we live. We are the role models for the next generation.
Presentation tomorrow. Decisions to make... Things to do.. People to love... God to serve.

July
Oh.... It's already July 2009.
My Second Mid-term (International Finance) is tomorrow.
It's actually the subject I believe I got out of the most this semester.
Most of the other Finance subjects have little practical use for an average Jane & Joe, but this subject actually helps the average person to learn and understand how FX, futures, forward and option markets work!
Continued...
I don't want to add another post.....
Just had dinner.
& today is the beginning of my lifestyle fast.
What did I fast on?? I'm not telling ya until I have successfully go through it.
Been reading blogs.
Random ones here and there.
Dom's as usual, the amazing man of God!
Garrett's latest post is really sweet. See how the man of God treats his brothers and sisters!
And visited other random blogs as well!
God operates in every single one differently.
I was so amazed by Pst How's Word on serving God when we're young!
Man, I love that Word.
That DNA from the first batch of youths in our church was infectious.
We love God, serve God without complaining..... Ha ha.
Yeah. I do admit that in the initial years in church, I wasn't your M.R. sociable like I probably am now. I was aloof, quiet and unsociable. You wouldn't even believe that that was me a couple of years ago.
Tonight is going to be a really long night.
I planned to only sleep 4-5 hours!
My post exam celebration would be to sleep.
lol.
Well, I need a bit of time to let my food digest ba!
ARH! My presentation next Monday... I haven't started a thing yet.
Apart from gathering some trivial stuff, the project is relatively un-done. Lol. Thank God I have an amazing groupmate! We do work together!!!
I miss HoGC.
I love my friends.
Amidst of all uncertainties in life. There's only one certainty...
And that is that my future in God's house is amazing.
I mean that doesn't mean that it's going to be eat, drink and be merry.
It means work. Revival = Work.
Life is as simple as that.
Know the rules of the game, play according to the rules and make a few history by exceeding expectation of this "game".
The book of Hosea is a book relatively untouched by most people.
It started as a weird book...
Hosea is a prophet who obeyed God's voice to marry a harlot!???
Yeah. I was quite shock as well at first.
But as I began to read on, it began to make sense!
God wanted to show Israel of His relationship with them.
Hosea symbolises God and his wife symbolises Israel.
I shan't spoil it for you guys. Read it, it's one of those very controversial books I believe many people would debate about. But I believe my God is beyond all reasoning. If we can reason about God so wonderfully, then we should be semi-God.
lol. Anyway, have a great week people as I embark on my revision!
