-= Life Concert =-
Thank god for the mighty harvest we receive this year. If i remember the figures correctly .. we've got 19 salvations, 39 rededications and 2 seekers [interested in knowing more about god]. At the start, the atmosphere is quite dull. Marc, me, sam and another 2 J1's went to a corner and prayed fervently outside the audi and for the pple in the audi. Not that we are actually doing a last minute prayer, b'cos we have prayed alot alot and alot of times b4. Nevertheless, we step up our faith and continued to pray. Well, according to my frens, in the audi, the atmosphere did liven up. =) We had a mini celebration after the life concert.

Well, in this midst of celebration for the great harvest ... i dunno ... i just dun feel easy thru-out the whole show. My granpa .. well he died today .. this very day. i said a silent prayer for him and my family b4 the concert began. somwhow... i dunno ... i feel so left out in the celebration. Everyone is like congratulating each other for their hard work as they were making intensive preparation for the concert. Well i smile my whole way thru. but it's odd to receive the message that some1 died in yr family while the whole world around u is rejoicing. I am just like a lost fish in the sea. At that point, i dunno y but i kept feeling that people dun appreciate me. my thoughts are really racing up and down.


I am not very close to my grandpa. He's well in his own world and i am in my own world all the time. But occasionally, he'll pop in and ask me whether i wanna eat this or eat that. He occasionally like my grandma .. likes to nag ... to ask me to do things which i planned to do it later.. Well now he is away .. i dunno .... how i shld really feel about him. I only met him 1 or 2 years ago. When he finally came back to the family. I dun actually like him at that period 'cos he always like to smoke. But gradually he is been nicer to me. I guess that's is why u shldn't take relationship for granted. For sometimes, people that has close ties with you but isn't that close to you might leave you ... forever. Now i am left with a a confused heart. Treasure yr relationships my friends.

SR - Sonic Reinitiation
Nice to know that my webbie looks like a girl's webbie [--]' from miss turtle .
Anyway new song for my new revamp bloggie :

If you're Not the One
[ David Bedingfield ]

If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all

I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I

-= Easter service revisited =-

A touching 20 mins message revisited by me in the live telecast. I din actually know why my friends cry yesterday night. But somehow after hearing the message again. My heart is stirred. Somehow .. i think i have not liften all my past onto the lord. I am still living in and with my past. I'm not being sentimental. It's just .... i dunnoe

What is the Cross + ??
It is a minus that has become a plus ..
Jesus took the minus in yr life and turn it in to a plus

1) Jesus wants to cancel the pain of yesterday
The no. 1 cause of unhappiness of people is the holding on of the pain in the past

Especially true for me ...

The 2 most common things people hold on in their life
- resentment ( over what others did to us )
-regret ( over what we did to others )
He give u the power to overcome every resentment in yourr life
He released u form the prison of regret.
Stop living the "If only" game. If only things are like this ... if only life is like that.
God has the ability to carry your burdens if you let him do so

2) He wants to cancel the pressure of today
Do u often get tired of the duties u have to fulfill in your life
The reason u r tired is b'cos u cannot live and achieve great things by yr own strength.

[ My own personal opinion : Yes it's not fair to say all great figures achieve great things because the lord is with them. But the point of this is ... the amount of pressure this great people face might be something that we cannot imagine. Or even something that we cannot endure. Maybe u can say if he/she can do it, y can't I ? The fact of what the pastor is trying to say is ... yes u can endure ... but we r not made to endure. How much can u really endure? Where is the limit ? the sky ? Be realistic. A strongheaded belief that yr endurance can last forever is a premature thinking. If that is the case, y r there breakdowns in human beings? Y do some great figures fall ? A penny for your thought if you have any counter-arguments for my opinions. But the fact is we r not made to be superman or supergirl. But to be workers of the lord. To be the sheeps of the shepherd.]

The power that raise Jesus from the dead has the same capability to revive yr current relastionships

3) He wants to cancel the passimism of tomorrow
There are lots of pessimistic feelings in society today. People feel helpless when
The purpose of life and the struggles in life has somehow seem lost.

You can live 40 days without foood
You can live 5 days without water
You can live 8 mins without air
But you cannot live one min without hope
Because the minute you lose hope..
Yr life is nothing but just of existing .. alone

" Though the mountains and hills can topple, my love for you will never be shaken. Nor my covenent of peace will be removed."
Isiah 54:10


"It's not about what u know about god but whether Do u know god."
"He cancel the minus of your sin and turn it to a plus"
"What is sin? Everytime u speak a lie, u sin against god. Even pride and selfishness is sin"
"If u have hands are dirty, you can wash it with Soap. When your heart and soul is dirty, what can you wash it with? It's by the precious blood of Jesus that yr heart n soul is clensed!"

-Quotes from Pastor Kong

Thx Great Teacher
" Treasure your loves ones .. the thought of losing them is simple unbearble " - quote from wriggle_earthworm's nick. What i got to say is .... do that ... because this things comes real surprisingly... And i realise something in extra ... never .. and i repeat NEVER take yr relationships [ with other people ] for granted. God bless to all

Halo fellow angels ... ha ... it's been a long while since i feed my bloggie.

Saturday - Easter Service

I would say i am real happy. Happy. A different kind of happy. How do you define happiness? [let's not wonder to true and absolute happiness]. Well ... it's quite duh ... if u feel happy .... when you receive all A's 4 your result. When you receive the 1st prize for a cross country race. When you complete the latest edition of de latest computer game in the city and outbeat yr friends. Well i am really happy for one simple thing ... dat my friends got save and was moved thru-out the show.

It's hard to explain this feeling of happiness. Because it's not juz about the sense of achievement ... It's about seeing people have a sudden .. though little ... but still a change in attitude towards u ... or maybe more of your belief.

This easter service is really impactful. At the start .. things dun turn out so well. [ha due to my poor management.] After service ... we are celebrating one of my member's birthday .. and i am i/c of getting the cake. And due to lack of time .. i hastily ask Kelvin to help me get the cake. :) thx Kelvin. Then i have to meet all my friends at City Hall at 1730. And it's kinda rush because we r suppose to reach SIS[ Singapore indoor stadium ] at 6. i am also worried that my friends couldn't get food and would starve during the performance. We eventually set off from city hall at 1750 and we reached kallang mart at around 1800. During that period of time .. my nice little Indian friend Jaya keep discussing about going home ... go to sentosa makan .... cos one of my friend is not here. So i am really flustered ... and kinda worried all of them will juz leave and left me there along [ with yuk lun]. Kinda terrible. Anyway .. after we reached indoor stadium .. everything turn out for the better. They made themselves comfortable ... and we had nice little conversations here and there b4 the service began.

The Easter performance is great ... :) really nice. Good effects ... nice William Hung-style praise song[ you'll noe wad i mean if u have went for the show]. Well i din realised that some of the girls invited to the performance cried during some parts of the service. Well one of them mention she cried b'cos she was somehow moved i guess when the pastor speaks about Jesus removing the pain or yr troubles in yr life. The easter message is also clear. Christ can erase the minus - in your life .... and replace it with a + ..

Well i am really happy and actually touched when people move in tears or u noe ... get loosen up. I am glad god really moved thru my friends =). Anyway thx to all who came and showed me face .. haha and to those who wanna thank me for inviting them to the easter service -- u r welcome =P .. haha. Really good that u guys turn up. Happy Easter to all!!~

Lamey jokes to lamify yr day part V-?

Four friends reunited at a party after 30 years. After a few laughs and
drinks, one of them had to go to the rest room. The ones who stayed
behind began to talk about their kids and their successes.

The first guy says: I am very proud of my son, he is my pride and joy.
He started working at a very successful company at the bottom of the
barrel. He studied Economics and Business Administration soon he was
promoted and began to climb the corporate ladder becoming the General
Manager and now he is the president of the company. He became so rich
that he gave his best friend a top of the line Mercedes Benz for his
birthday.

The second guy says: Damn, that's terrific!! My son is also my pride
and joy, I am very proud of him. He started working at a traveling
agency for a very big airline. He went to flight school to become a
pilot and also manage to become a partner in the company where he now
owns the majority of the assets. He became so rich that he gave his
best friend a brand new jet for his birthday.

The third guy says: Well, well, well congratulations!! My son is also
my pride and joy and he is also very rich. He studied in the best
universities and became an Engineer. He started his own construction
company and became very successful and a multimillionaire. He also
gave away some thing very nice and expensive to his best friend for his
birthday. He built a 30,000 sq ft mansion specially for his friend.

The three friends congratulated each other mutually for the successes
of theirs sons. The forth friend who earlier had gone to restroom
returned and asked:
What's going on, what are all the congratulations for?
One of the three said: We were talking about the pride we feel for the
successes of our sons.
And then he asked, What about your son?

The fourth man replied: My son is Gay and he makes a living dancing as
a stripper at a nightclub.

The three friends said: What a shame that must be, that is horrible,
what a disappointment you must feel.

The fourth man replied: No, I am not ashamed. Not at all. He is my
son and I love him just as well, he is my pride and joy.

And he is very lucky too. Did you know that his birthday just passed
and the other day he received a beautiful 30,000 sq ft mansion, a brand
new jet and a top of the line Mercedes Benz from his three boyfriends.
