there and then

Its really good to be in the right place .. at the right time .. with the right people. Its really a feeling that says " man what an awesome experience this is! "



That's how it was for the last 2 days... i sorta took 'leave' from serving to attend the 2 SOT (School of Theology - Bible) graduation svc in Expo. Man i miss all my friends in Expo ... and i got to see alot of ushers whom i used to work alongside with graduating from SOT this year. i miss them man. But im glad i can 'check' them out again as i visit back expo.



Ps Alex Abraham from Indo is really a very charming and annointed pastor. when he started praying for us ... we started to shake all over ... its like something travelling through us in the meeting. He is also a very funny animated pastor :) Totally blessed by his annointing and his testimony of how Christ raised him to be a pastor through a life-death incident of a little boy. :)





As i watched through the graduation ceremony in the 2 meetings... felt really pulled to be there. i've see lots of my friends walk up the stage to receive their graduation certs .. and its the whole ceremony feels so grand. At the end of the 1st night, we celeb Ps Kong's birthday .. and in my mind .. i was awed by how the faith of a young man abt 20 years ago has brought us so far ... and of course the race is still long. Ps Kong really inspired all of us in our beliefs.. our lifestyles and attitudes in life. And its funny to see Pastor behaving like a 'child' sometimes.. there is this child-like kind of faith in him .. that makes him a real fun leader to be with.. and one that kids from children church look up to. He's an amazing man of God. By the end of the 2nd day ceremony, all grads threw their grad hats up to the air. Its cool!!!! One day i will throw mine too.. wooppie! :D



Sun afternoon went to watch money not enough 2. I think this show really strikes my heart alot. The hokkien jokes i hardly understand ... but the thing abt the movie is this - Jack Neo likes to bring in the common conversations ... common things that we Singaporean do in real life and incorporate it in the show... so some of us tend to see alot of ourselves there ...or people we know who behave like that. Like how the coffeeshop owners feel abt ERP, pro-PAP or anti-PAP talks, the get-rich-within-a-short-time mindset... its all pretty prevalent in our culture. At the end of the show .. i kept crying. There was kinda like a deep grievance in my heart and i wonder why humans always dun cherish the people around them .. until they lose them? Why are we so fragile inside.. the answer to that is obvious to christians .. but the answer itself grieves me too. I kept tearin through the show ... but its probably intrinsic nature of humans i believe ... to care about themselves more.. until they realise the best way to love yourself ... is to love others like yourself.


hmm deep.


I love you God.. :) and i love my friends and family.



mushy i know.


but hmmm i am not afraid to say things i believe in.



im out :)
