The Nose Deal

[ personal ramblings ]




"ah-choo!"





My Granny approached me this morning with a very determined look on her face; hands holding a bunch of mushroom-shaped vege. the vege looks something like this :



o_o ?



She then say the weirdest thing thing i've ever heard in my life.... ! (ahh one of her old antics..)





"put this in yr nose" (in chinese-hokkien)






"ah? "




I initially shove the weird looking stuff away. i squeeze and press it warily. My grandma soon grew to a kind of like - inpatient frenzy...





in the end, i conceded. Juz for fun, i began to stuff the stalks into my nose.





ahh all i can rememebr next is that *mucus* flew everywhere :D






i took an MC in the end today.





The next time she sneeze, i'll remember to order boxes of her 'amazing cure' for her :)

Letter to Mom.

Dear Mom,


It has been an amazing week. :)



It's the last week of June already and time flies. Though there are some days i feel i have not spent my time very wisely - letting it slip before i know it. I am trying to improve on that. Nevertheless, i also wanna make everyday a meaningful day. :)


Monday i met up with 3 of the usher mates from team. They were quite busy people themselves and i am glad we can folk out sometime to go have a simple dinner at Orchard. The food was good :) and so was the fellowship! It was a short night spent but it's pretty eventful. I just realise my team loves to do shopping! Though shopping was't quite my kind of 'thing' but it's quite enjoyable somehow with them. It kind of reminded me of my army's anniversary theme this year "Esprit De Famille". A family that eats together stays together. I'm sure they enjoyed themselves very much too. :)




Hypothalamus with me ..



the 4 of us ..


The Zone Prayer Meeting on Tuesday was quite refreshing too. Our new zone was really youthful! But what's more is the testimony of the very young leaders among us. The prime of the youth and they are touching many people's lives. It's really cool.



Well i don't have any great testimonies this week. I was still strugglin alittle with my work and my revision. But i feel more in touch with my subjects and my passion in music (guitarr!). It's abt a year and a half since i got my guitar .. and well i am determined to bring it to another level! =D


Well speaking about that, mom thanks for sending me to the Intermediate Guitar class too. The brother was really good at playing and he showed us the different _expression tools and chords we can use. If possible, i can share with you to let you know the different ways to raise the dynamics during praise and worship. :)


Just today he shared with us Luke 6:38. It says give and it'll be given back unto you ... and the same measure you give, it'll be measured back to you. As a worship leader, he encourage us to give ourselves.. our all to God. To be a great worship leader, we have to surrender every part of us. Soul, Body and Spirit. When that happens, just as the verse says, a great level of annointin will be upon us. So i was pretty blessed by the message.






Well here's your son signing off.
Take care Mom.



ps: for those who didn't know, my mom is my Cell Group Leader. :)
and and! i learnt S.O.S today. but still haven practise yet.. gonna work hard.

Without limbs

[ amazing webs ]



Just read this site from Guitar4Christ forum



Life is really different without limbs.



I can some-how testify how is it like... to be without limbs. I mean of course it's a great understatement to compare myself with this guy - Nick from the site. He has lost all his limbs .. not due to any accident. But from the very onset of birth. For me it's my arthritis condition that was there ever since i was young. I have the full freedom to exercise and move just like everyone else. Just that there'll be days .. or even weeks that i will behave differently.



But it's really God's grace that brought me to where i am.



Well i hopecha impacted by this great testimony.



Got to go do my bio le :).


cheers

Humility

[ personal ramblings ]








days seems like nights these few days.





sigh life's just so full of funny problems. It's just one week after emerge and i felt so drowned. it's like the whole world is falling on me. And argh how to support.. well well i really need to sort it out soon. whatever's wrong with me .. i got to start gettin it right.





Ps Kong's message was pretty revelational as always too. He completes his message about being a Daniel in the world today. Daniel ( or Beltshazzar ) as said in the bible. :) ahhhh and he's a cool dude with an excellent spirit, knowledge and wisdom. He carried a great and striking image. He was fit and healthy. He had the skills in his field of work. He communicates well. probably makes a very good salesman. What really impressed upon me is the way the Pastor describes him as a man with a great attitude.




i wanna re-discover God once again. Through these trying days, i'll humble myself. i will forsake all pride and be who God wants to me to be. Just like Daniel in his first few years in Bablyon.




No longer I :)

[ personal ramblings ]









Being an usher has taught me alot.. but i felt very very stagnant during this whole first part of the year. i have always gave .. worked and served but i felt i have not received as much.









i just wonder how long i'll last like this..










Yet in All these things, we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
Romans 8 : 37








i wanna be more than a conqueror.
