ok, I am here again ^_^ Today I had KFC with Linette, Joyce and Olivia again -__- due to some personal requests. KFC can be quite boring at times, eat more of it will make u more like chicken. LOL . Then we went k-boxing and they sang like crazy women, jumping around the sofa, and most important I caught it on video. Haha! Ok, shan't reveal too much. Overall, it is kinda fun too, and these girls are extremely crazy when I sing some love songs and keep making fun of me -__- funny meh? Kinda irritating, but its ok. I'll forgive them. Haha. After k-boxing, we went to walk around and waited for the rest of members to come. After that had dinner together, den we went to have a "farewell party" at esplanade's rooftop. We made a big heart with candles for our dearest Olivia, some shared touching messages to her and CJ sang her a song which happens to be one of my favourite. Haha. I wonder what kind of farewell will I get when i leave to serve the nation? Haha. If there is a fan club set up for me, it would be kinda good yeah? Haha. =X

After that on my way back with Linette, kinda shared a little of our thoughts about life and God. Short but good. You guys must understand, she may be younger than me, but she is like my mother, always nag nag nag. Haha =X but ok la. I believed we speak some sensible words to each other to encourage our walk with God.

Sometimes, its really hard to thank God, praise God when things are really going bad. I been through it, done it, even got a diploma for it, but still, I believe God is still good afterall, everything happens for a reason and its for our own good, God will not allow burdens that is too hard for us to bear. Afterall, its my character not my comfort that God wants. =)

Just now went for prayer meeting, it is good to pray. Prayer is the solution to problems. =) Things happen these days and letting go of the protruding branch indeed isn't easy, but i will try... i really believe with all my heart, in due season it will come to past, its just a matter of time and patience. After the prayer meeting, managed to get a short chat with Andy, haha.. as usual, we had an "intimate upclose photo" which i shall show soon. We are just pure friends, no string attached, and most important of all we are straights.

Watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Monday with Alvin, JOL and her fiance, kinda weird, Alvin and I sat apart from both of them during the movie. We don't want to be a light that shines in this area though. Haha. Went to Sakae Sushi with my buddies last night, a good meal with quality fellowship and jokes, and Wendell can really eat, and i mean he can really eat. haha! Its really that kind of friends u have around in church to keep u running the race. There are many more of them which i have yet to spend some time with them, will do so before i go for NS, if not for sure i guess they will miss me badly somehow or rather i hope. Haha.

I need to get a haircut soon, getting long, hard to spike, hard to style, and it will be my last "professional haircut" for this coming 2 years. I must get a hairstyle that is memorable and leaves a good impression to ppl before I go in. Definitely not a chicken hairdo.

Goodnight.

There was once a man who fell off the side of a cliff and as he sailed through the air somehow managed to grasp a protruding branch. He looked up and there was no way to climb the hundred or so feet back. He looked down a thousand feet and could see no way there either.

He thought, "I guess this is a good time to talk to God."

He called, "Is there anyone up there?"

A voice returned, "Yes."

"Are you God?"

The voice replied, "Yes."

"Can you help me?" the man asked.

"Yes," came the reply.

"Well, what happens now?", the desperate man asked.

"Firstly, do you trust me?", God asked.

"Yes, sure", said the man.

God answered, "let go of the branch."

The man looked up into the heavens and shouted, "Anyone else up there?"

*Above illustration is quoted from the book "Faith" by Dr Phil Pringle.

After I read this, I realized I am in a situation like that guy in the illustration. I am at a point after holding or letting go of the branch. To me, this is really a great test, and the thoughts of failing this test has haunted me for a period of time. Sometimes, it come to a point where I asked God, "Why do You always pick on my weakest point?", I mean if the test is not in this area of mine, I am sure I won't suffer as much.. like what I said, won't suffer as much, I guess this is the area where God wants me to change. Showing me the reward and telling me the reward is not to be claimed now is like telling a dying patient that he can be healed but not the right time.

Taking the first step of letting go of the protruding branch seems so tough for me, really hard. But I am trying to trust in Him more than the things that I see in my naked eyes. I realized I have indeed made a mistake, I sought for the gift more than the Giver at one point. I repented, I gave up struggling, I'll let God do whatever He wants me to do. Hard as it may be, I believe I can do it.

"If you don't get your mind, your mind will get you." Phil Pringle.

I'm thankful to God for everything, to make me see that I've a problem, and i need to overcome it. I believe with all my heart, I will emerge stronger and bigger than my problem. Thank God for friends and members who are always there for me, encouraging words and quality fellowships have really pushed me on.

"God looks beyond our problems to see our needs." Sy Rogers.

If it is in the will of God, it will surely come to past in due season.

service was superb this wk, Pst Phil preached well.. these 2 days of service impacted my life.. making room for God.. and 7 ways of faith.. CCC's band is great. i like the song "But God"..

haha.. although i had about 3 hrs of slp before Sunday service, tired it may seems to be but the overwhelming joy makes my tiredness gone.. haha.. today also helped out in spelling bee marking.. some ppl can really spell.. and some ppl really can't spell..overall it was good..haha

ever since Sy Rogers' service, God has really proven to me that He is so real, when u seek Him first, He will take care of every other things in ur life.. many things happened, and God always showed to me that He is there.. really.. God is good all the time no doubt.

met my buddies to chill out later part of the night and back home about 11.. thats all for today.. God has been wonderful to me and i believe God is also good to all of you.. ^_^

oh well, i am back here again.. haha.. last week, Sy Rogers service was truly fantastic.. for a long long long long time, i wept like a baby in front of the Lord... ok..not like a baby, but wept.. i have to really admit, he is one of the best preachers that i ever met. The climax was after he finished preaching and started singing.. "come Holy Spirit, fall on me now.." The presence of God just smacked right down from Heaven..tears flow down like pearls broken from a string of necklace... i really felt the love of God... thank God no one saw it.. that could be very paiseh.. haha..

it's been such a long time He ever seem so real to me... I've been in church for quite some time, to be honest with you guys, in fact there were times I felt I'm more like a professional Christian, instead of having a relationship with God...

many ppl asked me, what is the point of being in church? high commitment, etc etc.. they never know the real feeling.. the feeling of God.. its worthwhile.. a touch, an encounter.. it keeps u going.. remember guys, He is the only one who will always be there for you, in terms of good times, bad times, with or without you knowing it..from the start to the end of your life..

religious as it may seems to be, but its a relationship that no one can ever remove it..God doesn't forsake anyone of us even if we had forsaken Him.

well, after i left church, i wondered, when will it be the next time i have an encounter with Him again?

today, i went for discipleship / prayer meeting with my leader, when we were worshiping, i tell you, suddenly we sang that "Jesus loves me yes i know..", my goodness... i don't know what happen, just wept again... having an encounter with God is really good...

but i guess this time, quite paiseh.. haha.. but it feels good to be reassured by God.. haha..

Been quite some time ever since i last blogged.. last week, Sy Roger's service was fantastic..really a wonderful word that impacted my life... i also watched 2 movies in the past week..the first one i watched was Pursuit of Happyness with my members and 300 was with my buddies on the previous Sunday.. both shows were great.. Pursuit of Happyness is a show which inspires people not to give up even in the toughest of all times and persevere on.. haha.. 300 is also another good show.. the boldness of the Spatans that willing to go all the way upto the point where they sacrifice their lives for their King, their lands, their wives and children..noble eh.. will i go all the way also for Christ? of cause.. haha

some people have the priority to attend church but yet they dun cherish it, while others fought for their opportunities to attend church and hang on tight to God.. is it true that things that come to you easily you won't cherish it as much as those that you fought it with your lives? quite true eh?

had a good chat with Anthony on msn these days, what he told me really enlightens me in some ways or rather.. haha.. and most all, both of us come to a conclusion... haha... Girls who are on fire for God are very attractive.. haha..

had a dinner at Vienna restaurant at Novena Square last night with my aunt and my cousins.. the quality of food seems to drop from the last time i went there.. or rather my appetite decreases? haha... i dunno why these days whenever i ate a little too much or oily, i feel very guilty after that.. and i will skip dinner the next day just to compensate my guilt.. haha.. i dunno why.. i think your mind really plays an important on what u do.. as i keep telling myself i will abstain from oily and large amount of food... sinful sinful..anyway.. its good in a way to prepare myself for ns though.. haha.. haiz.. depressing 2 years...

have been doing a lot of thinking these days..

nevermind...

that's all folks.. take care..have a good weekend ahead with Pst Phil =)
