Jung Mun

a great friend of mine is leaving for Korea tomorrow. When i first met up with him and Soon I, learnt alot of pretty interesting things from Him... like how to say lame in Korean " chup chup chup" lol. And he will do the *fall of the chair* act... totally drama man. haha.


But in this short months he spent with us... im glad i really got to know a good nice friend :) And today we had a good dinner session with him at Lau Pat Sat. And wow i did not know Lau Pat Sat has so much food again! My last visit here tells me that this is nothing but a ghost town .. but nope i am glad i was wrong! We ate lots of food... from my favourite Xiao Long Bao ... to *Aw Jian* (oyster omlette) .. to Bandung Rojak ( totally urgh.. cheat my money and feelings.. lol dun buy it if u see this weird name again.. ) ... to Chao ToFu ( or smelly fried tofu )... Ji Pa ( chicken cutlet fried taiwan style)... to Popiah ... to Jason burger. ok the last one - im just kiddin. :) But it was feasticlicious! i mean i cant eat my dinner at home because of the food im put to eat. haha no la i will eat or else my grandma will throw tantrums.. and yea:) I think Jung mun enjoyed all the food we ate. :)



After which we walked past my office .. to OUB plaza where we settle down for picture taking. And of course we presented the song "That's what friends are for" to him... aw. I played the guitar and well mis-played afew chords (aiya!) and somewhere thru the song we forgot the lyrics.. lol. bad presentation of the song but imho we did it all so heartily .. so its still good to me. Jung Mun did a farewell song for us ... song sang by Korean kids! :) ITS so CUTE! :) No wonder Koreans are such cute people... they have lovely lovely kindergarden songs! I'll ask my members to sent me the video/songs/pics and i'll put it here for u to see :) hoho


*Updates updates*

Jung Mun's farewell gift#1 for us

Farewell speech by Jungmun





a friend found is a treasure gained. a friend gone to my hearts dismay. but where we live we always know.. that friendship's fire will ever glow. :)


indeed that's what friends are for..

Nights out

I miss nights out with friends ... :) They are totally cool!




Went out with turtle on monday to chill out at Vivo (dun worry got inform my cgl wan!hehe). Anyway turtle is one of my best female friend i had. Tho sometimes i really feel like strangling her cos of our differences but .. she is one of the most lovely friends i had :) haha.. dun cry ar turtle.. :P


We went White dog cafe to eat their sussages and pizza ,,, the servings were ok .. and well i had lots of KFC drumlets before i met her so i am quite full. So most of the eating i throw to her (^^) .v.. after which .. we watch Indiana Jones!!! man i really use to like shows like this in the past. He is kinda old right nw but well the way he moves around is still funny.. lol. Anyway not a perfect movie .. but if u like cheap thrills ... simple adventure ... and scenes of de hero running around.. then this is a show for you :). Well this show feels like National Treasure ... but i love the soundtrack behind the show... * Ter ter ter ter .. ter .ter .ter .... * ok i sing for u next time :)



It was a simple dinner. I was tired that night. I bet she was too. But it was a refreshing simple fellowship :) Sometimes doing admin work kills. I remembered Pastor CK told us that. If we overlabour ourselves with work, with the process ... operations... we'll be weary. Our hearts get dull. But it is still necessary for productiveness and for substenance. But above all, relationships are what hold our lives together. Words of kindness. Generous acts of extra service. A Pat on the back. Gifts. Time. simple things we all can do. but we tend to forget sometimes. we tend to focus less on it and more on our own *have-to-do* list. And it goes on and on. I felt convicted to spend more time with people this few weeks. And honestly.. i feel i given alot. But God knows better. :) I may not be there yet. but i'll definitely be there.


im fustrated. But i will give more :)

Im not dead

i'm shagged!!! so much things happen today that i feel so happy, sad, angry, blessed, fustrated and happy right now. haha cant imagine if you got to express all this emotions in one facial expression... how will you look like ?



Photobucket



Photobucket



but well i'll just worry less on that for now.



Went for service today! It was superb! it was one of those days that i could sit with my CG!!! but ministry calls and i have to help out with the whiteboard on stage. i feel quite sad in a way because i really don't have much time to spend with CG and some of my friends complain that i do not spend enough time with them ... so i was really looking forward to it. even told my CGL i can join u all for svc! so i feel quite bad on not honouring my word..



Well on a more positive note... i am really touched by Pastor's message about Life. ( Leaving to cleave, Intimacy with God, Faith in God, Examplary thru brokeness ) As he shared about how a christian ought to live in such a powerful LIFE ... lots of things trace through my mind. I was reminded about God's goodness.. my personal struggles that God set me free from, my commitment to shift my focus to Him, my current struggles .. everything just seem to appear in my mind. I just started tearing... (yeps big boy me cried) and i am really convicted to live a life fully for God and to bless my friends! I am doin so now ... but i know God is stirring me up for more. As Pastor started calling out for people who wants to rise up to be leaders .. especially CGL, i was motivated to go. Since i was backstage.. i cant move from my location. But in another sense, God has already lead me into usher ministry to rise up here. And to me ... i know our cg really needs another cgl to lead people as well. I'll pray for a right direction ... I just want to serve Him the best that i can where He leads me. But I'll continue to share the burden of my CGL. So my great cg mates... i will fight on with you too! My heart is with you guys too :)




Had a good lunch with my cg members. so sad that jung mun, the korean hunk attached to our cg is leaving. But we are going to meet him up one last time to have fun! And i had a good time celebrating Simon's bday with the rest of my ushermates! We had a pretty good time eating xiao long bao ( my new favourite food! ) and other asian yumyums from Asian Kitchen (Vivocity). It was splendidulous meal! I din eat much but i really have a good dose of laughter which sort of filled me up.. with air? erm yea i became full* !:) My usher friends are really cool. esp de little girl nxt to me. she never fails to amuse herself and when she laughs ...... part of me will become temporary deaf.. urgh. But well leonger ya still cool :) haha. I notice Simon laughs as loud as her too :) hoho.. and yee said too much cold jokes today that she needed my sweater to stay warm..... hehe. oh ya... leon climbed up to tiny block of monument-like thingy in the open space at vivo. She started to do a funny ducky-like dance and well if i got the video... goin to post it here!!! its very cute. lol. Den later all climbed up and we played some guitar songs... :) really nice. Hope simon enjoyed this bday celeb :P





I rushed off after that to meet my uncle to settle my SIM couse fees. Along the way my pants got ripped off by one of the spooks of a fence i am trying to climb over. IT WAS HORRIBLE!!!! My whole right pocket got ripped off and it was left dangling with threads on my right butt. I try to act natural of course and welll ... thank God there wasn't a crowd to witness my unglam fence climbing action! or else... tmr morning New Paper have something interesting news to ramble abt. and then ... that's it man...







well thank God my SIM course fee was settled. hmm as i spoke to my uncle and discuss the bills to settl for this course ... it wasn't really a pleasant talk. and i was quite fustrated in a way when we chat. But im at the same time thankful for his kindness to me even though i don't really deserve it. It's really grace that i get sponsorship for this course.... but im determined to pay him back this fees. I think its too much a sum for him to bear for me, which is on top of his own family commitments. I have disappointed many of my relatives in a past... and sometimes the past haunts me in this area. i needa stand up to fight if i am goin to see my breakthrough. so the days ahead are going to be tough... but with extra 'right' commitment comes extra grace from God! i may be a man but im Ironorangeman!




yonghui going to bmt soon..... sighz... hopes can talk to him more abt other things rather than usher. haven been talking much with my dad. with my grandma. haven been working out too. that's much more for me to do.





but ultimately i still love you Lord :) i will walk on water.

just something..

I need to be more organise!!! There are so much things cluttering my mind and my organiser is filled with super many side notes! Its like a supermarket going on in my mind... !@~!!@~!!!~~!~!@~!


just feel like getting something out of my mind here... but as i type ... i just dunno what to write... Is this what they call writer's amnesia ? O_O?!



ok i remember one thing. Ps Chee Kiang shared about being a servant leader, and that reminds me of my JC days. Life is not just to eat, play and be merry. Though the concept itself is deliciously tempting.. but i know it can never be fulfilling. And yea that's why we serve. And as i serve ... i realise God always deal with the the stingy areas of my life. Areas that i like to hold back and justify it all based on my perception of the situation. But he always mould me in little areas like : being loving. patient. And havinga big open hearted. hmm what would a man be like if he has all this ? gayish ? yeps lol .. very happyish indeed. But more to that .. i think he'll be a Man of great Character. An Ironman indeed. that's right man.


i'll learn to be more people-centred. But to do that.. i must do well too.



God please multiply my time. I wanna spend more time with my guitar too.... God .. you know im a songwriter .. and so far i've written 0 songs. that's very sad o lord. Help me to plan well God. Help me to grow wings at my back and fly away to your secret place everyday. i wanna do more .. more and more and more for ya..... amen

Bubbly




Will you count me in?

I've been awake for a while now.
You've got me feeling like a child now.
'Cause every time I see your bubbly face,
I get the tingles in a silly place.

It starts in my toes,
And I crinkle my nose.
Wherever it goes I'll always know,
That you make me smile.
Please stay for a while now.
Just take your time,
Wherever you go.

The rain is falling on my window pane,
But we are hiding in a safer place.
Under covers staying dry and warm.
You give me feelings that I adore.

They start in my toes,
Make me crinkle my nose.
Wherever it goes I'll always know,
That you make me smile.
Please stay for a while now.
Just take your time,
Wherever you go.

What am I gonna say,
When you make me feel this way?
I just...mmm.

And it starts in my toes,
Makes me crinkle my nose.
Wherever it goes I'll always know,
That you make me smile.
Please stay for a while now.
Just take your time,
Wherever you go.

Da-Da-Dum-da-da-da-da-da.

I've been asleep for a while now.
You tucked me in just like a child now.
'Cause every time you hold me in your arms,
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth.

It starts in my soul,
And I lose all control.
When you kiss my nose,
The feeling shows.
'Cause you make me smile.
Baby just take your time now,
Holding me tight.

Wherever, wherever, wherever you go.
Wherever, wherever, wherever you go.
Wherever you go,
Always know,
'Cause you make me smile even just for a while

Mama

yesterday i gave usher training again. My trainees are so very cute.. They give very animated answers to the problems i gave them.. lol. :D But im glad they really have the heart and passion to serve! :) It would be the most wonderful thing if one day i meet them.. they would have changed so much to become leaders of multitudes of people.... by then, i better be somewhere doing something great too... or else.. haha -_- sad.



Man im tired. i love yesterday's service on Mother's day. i was tearing throughout the service when i see how much sacrifice the mom's make for their children. But for me... i have another special person to fill in as my mom throuh all this years.. that's my grandma.



Since i don't grow up with my parents, i don't have the opportunities of learning and experiencing parental love as young. But i got blessings from many of my relatives. I was raised with many people to look up to .. but it wasn't a very pleasant journey for me as a child. But one happy thing that i appreciate (and still learing to apprecaite) is the love my grandma gave me since i was young. you know i use to really hate her when i was young! but after my eyes were opened, i began to understand bit by bit her untold love towards me everyday. She is the greatest mom that i had all my life.


I treat her to a simple dinner of dim sum and KFC yesterday. So far, she only liked the 'xiao long bao' i bought.. lol .. so sad i bought so much food and we all cant finish it.. (yea supersizestomachme cant finish too!).


No nations are greater than a mother. Because it's a mother that raised up a man.


despite all our quarrels ... Grandma ya always the greatest!

Built to last..

hohoho.....



Today was a sunny sparkly superbly day! Super sunday for a superme.



Today i did Stage 1 and man .... i love it! the Holy Spirit's in control of everything... Well its not a perfect service... but when the holy spirit leads.. i feel so comforted. i feel so lead. Just on my way to church this morning ... i worshipped God in my own way on the upper deck of bus 242. i pop on the track 'Till I See You' by Hillsong United and i just began tearing... the presence just flow into where and when i was sitting. It may appear unmanly to cry ... but for the right reasons ... i think that its a courageous thing to do to stay true to your feelings. God is so unbelievably cool when he just comes in to visit me like that... just superblicious. :)




and i feel it man. its a season for prayer for our church. and i really feel the vibes all around me.. telling me to pray.. and pray like never before. prayer isn't something seasonal.. But living a lifestyle of sacrifice, to p.u.s.h. and witness something extraodinary is probably what this season is. And i think its all true. being a true witness is combining our faith with a lifestyle of Christ. wherever He goes ... He seeks Him. Sorry for the parables to my non-christian friends... but i just wanna say He showed me somthing great again... or more like rekindle an old spark in me. :) i wanna pray... and pray till i can see heaven coming down on earth!



Watched 2 movies this weekend! double jumbo! Here's my take of the two movies.

Over her Dead body:
Urgh. Senseless plot. partially good attempt in romance. ticklish jokes but it has no lasting effect (de fun die off easily) . But well Girls might like it. At least my 2 great female neighbours in the show enjoyed it pretty well. So i guess it isn't that bad. Honestly.. watch it with a female who appreciate lame corny jokes. in my case... they spur me to *laugh* :) at everything. most of the time at them. haha. 4.9/10


Ironman:
This show is totally OwnZor! RoXor! lol... ok u can see some biasness here.. but at least the guys and girls i hang out with pretty much enjoy the show. Expected plot based pretty much on the original comic story. But the order which they present the twist of betrayal is quite good. In short,, this show has substance :) to me it has a good plot. well animated effects. simple cause to believe. and well a pretty corny jokes too. but well not overly lame as ohdb. The simple movie works well for me! 3 thumbs up if u have 3 thumbs. :D 7.5/10



Orangeman is inspired to be IRON Orangeman after this show. i shall instill myself with a good framework of fortitude.... well built attitude, and the WOG as my weapon of mass destruction! My secret ability shall be - abilityto bounce back from setbacks and have an ironsteel skin from every problems i meet in life. If Iron orangeman can do it, so can you! :)




Live on superheroes!

Teasy day..

Today is teasy day... haiz.. im too tired to type this.


but yea its fun. my cg mates are really wild today man.. and they are really overqualified drama actors man... haha


ok just to share this short unbelieavable incident... we were sending one of our church member cum overseas exchange student off from airport this afternoon. I was rushing down after my SIM registration and i was kinda flustered waiting for traffic to move man. Eventually .. after i reach changi airport, i ran towards mac to find the people and they were all not there!! so i gave Elaine a call and she sounded quite angry that i was this late :( so i was like o-no! ... i went up to meet them and then i saw them waving goodbye to her! i was quite disappointed and sad ... then ben said how disappointing i am... and that really made me feel bad. and after awhile ...... she just appeared out of the blue! soon after, everyone just started laughing! .... that's when i realise i've just been *poked* (91.3FM way of saying saboed!) . apparantly she went toilet ....and they planned and started putting on an very convincing.... dramatic act of her leaving, all just to make me feel bad and guilty! ........ and the best part is !!!! my cgl -Elaine is involved!!! haha .. i got a deep mixed feeling there and then. :) ... felt like throwing all of them into dustbin (kiddin kiddin :P)





They are really a bunch of wacky people.



And all through the day they tease and tease and tease me ...... over every subtle thing. -__- urgh



yea but i still love u guys. im ok with this funny joke. but well... what goes round , comes round... the next time it'll be yor turn to be *poke* and sabo-ed by me.. buahahahaha *minime tone (austin power)* i show no mercy :P


im tired nw. God i will walk with love and patience... no teasing form againist me shall prosper. I shall be head (above the teasing) and not the tail (of being teased)... above and not beneath! amen :)

Say it again



The thing about love
Is i never saw it coming
It kinda crept up and took me by surprise
And now there’s a voice inside my heart that’s got me wondering
Is this true, i want to hear it one more time

Move in a little closer
Take it to a whisper
Just a little louder

Say it again for me
Cuz i love the way it feels when you are telling me that i’m
The only one who blows your mind
Say it again for me
It’s like the whole world stops to listen
When you tell me you’re in love
Say it again

Thing about you is you know just how to get me
You talk about us like there’s no end in sight
The thing about me is that i really want to let you
Open that door and walk into my life

Move in a little closer
Take it to a whisper
Just a little louder

Say it again for me
Cuz i love the way it feels when you are telling me that i’m
The only one who blows your mind
Say it again for me
It’s like the whole world stops to listen
When you tell me you’re in love

And it feels like it’s the first time
That anybody's ever brought the sun without the rain
And never in my whole life
Have I heard words as beautiful as when you say my name

Say it again for me
Cuz i love the way it feels when you are telling me that i’m
The only one who blows your mind
Say it again for me
It’s like the whole world stops to listen
When you tell me you’re in love
Say it again (x9)

When you tell me you’re in love…
Say it again

Ohhh...Ohhhhhh



its a beautiful song :) by marie diby

nicely done!

Bored games

today was quite a cool day! did some morning plans. gave bible study. went out with all the man to play pool, and eventually games @ pitstop. de sad thing is ... well i am starting to feel the down side of excessive board gaming ...... amd today de games all seem quite dry man. guess what pat says finally came to past.. " too much no good. must starve for fun.. starve... " urgh..


Well today Ben suggested something too... lets start our own band and play for our upcoming youth camp. well one thing for sure we need more practise ... but to think abt it. this is really going to be something cool to try. but of course there's going to be alot of hardwork... i think we should be going for it. So in our next CK meeting... u jus might catch us playing.. :) hehe



always try something new..
