It's Monday... Brand new start of a new day!

Haha... Sunday was certainly eventful.. Came out from camp at about 10am and quickly rushed down for JW logistics duty. Thank God that Sing Yee was there to cover my duty until I'd reached. In any case I was doing Logis duty alone due to some reasons. But well, all is good. Things started off well and verifying was quick. Managed to do some re-arrangement in the Logis Rm @ JW. (Ivory even commented that I should stay in JW to help to arrange the room and I was like -_-|||| ) Hopefully it's neater and better for LPs to work in there. Haha...

For the 1st time I saw how a Sunday svc @ JW is run and it was real chaotic with people rushing in, settling down and shortly after doors opening, service would have started. I can't imagine how it would be like if service like such happens in Expo. Think we'll all go crazy too. Haha. Challenging but fun!

First time having to run up B2 and to B4, then to L1 and to B2. No joke and I really wonder how LPs in the past ran alone for Logistics for multiple services etc. *Pei fu!!!*

Supposed to mention someone's actions in this blog about how hysterical and chaotic things could be but I guess I shall be nice not to say who's the person but people like Jason and Jas would know la. haha// *shhh*


Anyway after verifying of stock check we went ahead to Pitstop in Clarke Quay for games and makan! There was Jason, myself, Sing Yee and Jas. Jeremy was kind enough to send us there in his new Honda Stream though he had a wedding dinner to rush for. *So BlesSed* It was certainly a lot of fun there as we played tabboo etc until one game when we had to hit the bell placed in the centre when cards of 5 of same fruit appears on the table. Guessed we were too engrossed until at one point I hit Jas' hand as we were aiming to hit the bell. It was quite painful until Jas almost dropped tears. *Think she's gonna remember it for life* but it was an accident. -.-
Played till about 9 before gg to Gloria Jeans @ MS to sit down and chat. Somehow or the other we went into the topic of zone and how to treat the ushers as leaders etc. Thank God for the sharing session and certainly learnt a lot (even for the words spoken out fm my mouth). So Sing Yee, jiayou the next time k? Yea!

Ok, shall upload the photos we took @ Pitstop on my next post! tata!!

Humility knows we need God. Say, 'I need You God.'

Humility knows we need others. Say, 'I need other people.'

Humility recognises now great we are not. Say, 'Lord, You've done it all.'

Humility admits our own shortcomings and congratulates others on their successes.

Humility serves others we consider our equal or less.

Humility waits patiently. Say, 'I am patient.'

Humility restrains anger. Say, 'I forgive everyone who has ever offended me.'

Humility is not announcing our own achievements.

Humility prefers others.

Humility is not something that is given to us.

Humility is something we do to ourselves.

Yea back for a short update before dozing off..

Shall start from Sunday.. Did C1 duty with Shirley yet again for 2 months running! And I think it'll still go on till a breakthrough comes (prayerfully...). Before that met up with Hwee Tze and Jean on cab to Expo and along the way realised that we were late for the meeting but they just started with the worship so it ain't that bad..
Jade led in worship and Eugene was acting-93 haha.. so funny.. It was a good service overall.. Flow was good and I need not worry about my terrace coz 3/4 was reserved for Chinese Church and all. Main problem was only the guests. Haiz. Kana sabotaged ah and almost got one of my ushers into trouble but thank God it was alright.. Worse was that she was sick.. But she tried her best which I admired a lot.

For the 1st time I'd actually did briefing without my notes though I had prepared them on the journey to Expo and I could feel the anointing of God then and it was really amazing... Love that kind of feeling! =)
Well, chairs were laid and hall was maxed out (for the 1st time!). LOL... Pst Sidney Mohede came to lead in Praise and Worship while Rev Dr Kin Sunghae (wife to Pst David Yonggi Cho) to preach.Caught something on the Saturday service. She kept on stressing on believing in God and learning how to pray. She had the child-like faith of God and all she needs to do is to believe and pray. The simplicity of faith in God in complex situations. So wow...

After service stayed back to clear the hall and stuff with Eugene and I came to realise how ushers are different now such not staying behind to clear the zones etc. (some of them).. In the past everyone stayed back together to pack things up and ensuring things are done before going off and it was done pretty quickly coz most was around... I missed that kind of feeling and the fun of doing that.
Just a matter of service not within a ministry to serve out of service but serve out of love and commitment.

Monday was norm since back to work le. Tuesday went to imos before going back for duty and wednesday sailing.. Was pretty normal but thank God for time to know about you even in the midst of busy schedule in camp! Haha..

This Sun!!! Pray I can really make it down to JW and everything smoothly..

taTa

Unified Servants who Honor and Exalt the Reign of God.

Love this acronym alot!! Really summarizes who ushers really are! =)

People who are:
Unified in the calling,
Servants who are leaders,
Honoring God,
Exalting His Name,
Reigning together with Him.

Together, we are Ushers! =)

Sick Day 2: Running nose, Flu, Cough...

Well, 1st line explains it all. But thank God the throat infection is gone miraculously.. Yea.. Wanna recover before this Sun's duty.. If not I'm not gonna enjoy myself during duty.. Sob..

This wkend Pst Yonggi Cho's wife is coming down to church! I'm sure the anointing is gonna be so diffferent and Sidney Mohede is coming down to lead in praise and worship! Thats like so cool!!.. Power packed weekend! But I still wanna get myself totally healed! Ahh!!

Be back later.. Haha

Ahh!!

Hate to be sick.. Yesterday started to have minor throat infection.. Then it became worse today.. On top of those, had serious flu and cough.. Ahh!!

Feeling of being sick means having no appetite for food (haiz!! a killer for me...), lethargic and needs lots of rest.. Trying to get myself to do things but can't seem to get the momentum going..

Got to know recently about some section stuff.. headache.. I wanna do more in the section and I'm so envious of how sections in Grp 4 function and they really serve as an inspiration for me to transform my section to be so homely and united! And even more!!
You gave a direction, i know something has to be done about it but how do i go about doing it God? Enlightenment pls...
(YH is really good at prophesying things though sometimes not that accurate. Lol..)

Oh ya, wanna congrats AGNES TING and MIC LEONG for being official LP!!! =) shall await for agnes 'lao po bing' treat this sun! =) Other understudies must jiayou!!! =)

Shall blog later.. Tata!!

Crazy posting here!! Haha...

Yeah for once I'm on break from duty after 5 months or so (maybe more) on a Sunday!! But since Sunday got nothing to do right, so I'll still be going down church, but definitely at a later time.. =) Got Logis stuff to do... Inventory to do... Least I get to relax and do the things I like..

Going out with Jiang Ling tmr... Still looking out for others also.. Thinking of what to do... If mummy allows me to buy the htc touch then that shall be one of the itineries for tmr! but the cost that comes.. well just hope it comes through.. Heh! *prays hard*

Anyway gonna go now! great day later! Haha.. =)

I'm like crazy making posts after posts..

Had a revelation on Friday..
Coz just had my allowance and there were so many things I wanted to get (including that HTC Touch 2nd Gen) as I was around window shopping and temptations did got over me at some point of time. But HS reminded me of the promise I'd made to God and Vic that I would use that money to fulfill my building fund (which I did in the end).
When the reminder came, the fear of God came as I didn't want to disappoint God and then... Enlightenment during CGM when God said that if I can have the wants and the needs on the material things, why can't I have that same want and need on Him? Wow...

So simple yet powerful...

HTC Touch 2nd Gen!! It's like my dream phone now!!! =) So sleek and nice la! Wahhhh!!!

So wanna get my hand on that phone like later at Starhub Roadshow!! Maybe can ask mummy to bless me!! =) Pray for me k? =)

Oh man going crazy liao la!!!! =)

Wow.. my posts are starting to be so irregular le. Haha.. Last update was like 5 days ago...
Somehow I just don't have the time and effort to keep up least 1 post a day like Mic. LoL

Just came back from fellowship and service.. It was especially good for the last 2 days, with the move and power of God in my life.. His presence is really so tangible and atmosphere's so different and intensifying..
During CGM yesterday, there was a sudden move of God to start speaking words of encouragement, prophesying or singing in new tongues.. Felt led to take that chance to move in the Spirit..
Very funny and I believe I'm not the only one that feels it. It's having the urge to exercise your faith but there's the fear of saying the wrong things or thinking if am I seeing what God wants me to see. Suddenly doubt and fear starts taking over instead of faith.
Anyway after Vic finished prophesying by giving an example, I just took over. I was seeing a vision of myself at the end of a cliff, and I'm seeing another just opposite me. And God was like indicating to me I'm to go over to that side of the cliff. But the way to go, go through a deep dark valley and climb up. It suddenly occurred to me as a revelation that as I climb down and up the dark valley, I should keep my eyes onto my destination and not where I'm at.
And I actually prophesied over myself that I would be faithful and be diligent in the things entrusted to me and not cast them away due to laziness. To rise up to the next level I'll focus on the important things and be mindful of God's will for me.Vic re-affirmed the word (thank God for that) and now it's really a training phase for me, to train up on my faithfulness and patience. And I need not worry because God is there for me.
Recently many had been speaking to me esp Vic about promotion of God. That I had forgotten but it just came onto me so frequently recently and with such a strong message behind it.
I still remember when I first joined UM when we first moved to Expo, I really enjoyed serving and without any agendas. I just want to serve God, expanding myself in capacity and exercising my talent. Then shortly I was promoted to helper only after 6 months in ministry. That was like 'WOW' for me and I thank God for that promotion and I aimed to see myself getting promoted within to TL like the next 1 yr or so. But things began to turn not so smoothly in terms of promotions. Now I came to realise that the focus was wrong that I shouldn't claim promotions based on my achievements or what level I am and it's really dependent on God, totally. One thing that will never change. Been almost 2 yrs now and I'd really learnt a lot. Now's the time to turn what I learnt into action, exercising them with great faith.

CGM was so powerful and I actually cried then. Not as bad as the last one though. Haha. Somehow thought that God set me up on that day... Oh well. Oh ya, did i mention that the prophesying anointing actually passed on fm one person to the NEXT person and so on? It's like a relay race to pass on the anointing. So cool!!!

Today's service was good and Pst Kong came back!!!!
Rmbed the previous blog entry which I had? I FINALLY did the right thing today! Gave my best today and it's really a pain really.. but glad that the backpay came in good time to make the fulfillment happen. Last leg of the race to go but I don't have much resources left... How God? I'm really depending on You for a miracle and to come through in my life once again!
It's really a stretch of faith today because after giving most of your allowance to building fund, tithes etc, you don't have much left and it's only 28 days later before getting your new allowance of which you got less than 100 bucks left.
It was like this in the past but it's because I'd misused the money under my charge but now a new set of challenge but I shall be faithful over it. Yeap.

I know my time is coming and i see doors opening up. God I'm waiting for the time to come, fully respecting it. I'm at your calling and God, let me be so much closer to You. This is the cry of my heart. =)

Such a fine line between being wise about my own finances, and using it foolishly...

Fallen into the mistake so many times.. Dun wanna come upon it once again.. But I have to face it. This weekend.. yup.

God give me the wisdom... for being the Solomon You want me to be...

Yo everyone~~
Back for more blogging le... Yea.

Anyway, the whole of last week had been a rush and of course, not without emotional ups and downs. Still remembered Thu I actually ended work late and almost took the last shuttle bus out of camp. Intended to meet Shi xuan to take the same bus but somehow miscommunicated. Met her at train station instead and along the way it poured so heavily and I practically see nothing after 500m la. Lol!!
And guess what, while passing by AMK west gardens, I can;t believe my eyes as I was seeing rapids! Been years since I last saw rapids in S'pore? The downpour was so great that water just flowed like nobody's biz. Lol...

Friday was R2 inspection and glad to say, we had passed and upcoming will be R1!! Gonna be 2day1night sailing at SCS! Haiz.. Pray I won't be vomitting and I'll be able to close up as per normal. Wanna do my best and not fall short of what I can do and neglect my responsibilities. Yeap.. Went for CGM after work and I was glad that I was there!! The worship was great and honestly, it really freshened me up and it was a time of renewal for me personally... CGM ended near 11 and proceeded home thereafter..

Saturday nothing much happened, went to camp for duty (haiz) with Alvin, everything as per normal less some things which I'm glad I stood in the gap for. Heh..
Sunday, always the day of the week I love the most!! Reported for duty when Terrace just opened and thank God Xiao Lii was there to stand in. Haha.. Sadly to say it wasn't a good duty partly because I weren't there for the morning brief so the ushers didn't understood what I wanted. Guess the next challenge for me in zone duty is to communicate with ushers effectively even in midst of unfavourable situations.. =P Acupoints was weak resulting in influx of congregation when zones are closed and I just can't seem to listen well on the net. Ahhh.. It's like a 5.5/10 for me..
Was down as recycling and thank God and the ushers, we managed to finish just before targeted 1pm. Then was just slacking and helping out in stock checking with Nat and Karami.. Finished everything and proceeded down to Huiming's place to visit cutey-Sophie! Man was she cute. Had a good of fellowship and had the shifting debrief at her place. Debrief was, dramatic but still fruitful. Haha.. And baby Solomon was so cute!! Muz take the chance to take his picture someday! Enjoy playing with him yea.
The whole gang then went to AMK to makan. Quite a big group of us like 19? Ate like 3 bowls of rice and the whole table was like shocked. Lol..

That;s all... Shall blog later again! =)

Oppurtunities God brings opportunities. Recognise them and act. Recognise what is and what is not genuine opportunity. Anything posing as an opportunity generally isn't. 'Get rich quick schemes,' and other so-called opportunities are designed to seperate the naive and their money, time and energy. False opportunity derails you from your destiny. Be in position, on the field and when then ball is passed, you'll be there, to take it and run. The unprepared watch and weep. Be ready for your great opportunity. Our greatest opportunities are generally right where we are now. Our greatest opportunities are generally within ourselves, the way we percieve where we are, what we have, who we are. If you wait for perfect conditions you'll never get anything done. How will you grab and be an opportunist yourself? =)

Time to finally sit down for some serious blogging!

Been ages since I last updated. Well Easter had just passed and the weekend was great! Drama was good, friends got saved, everything about Easter is great! And we hit record attendance of more than 53,000!!! Yeah!

Well.. something unpleasant happened with the cg after the easter with regards to my commitment level but I shan't talk much about it. And life still goes on yea..

Last Sunday had been a cool one.. Wanna see?
1. Logis duty @ Expo. supposedly can reach at 7am but thanks to dear Jean... was slightly late haha. Told Kenneth that we should wake her up 2 hrs before the actual mtg time just for her..

2. After duty went out with Eugene, Nat, Jeremy Lee, Jeremy Chng, Joelle, Bernard, Timo, YW, Yh + shimu to BotakJones at Bedok to eat. That place is like so ulu and hard to find but the food is GOOOOOOODDDDDDDD!!!!!! Haha! U guys reading should try man.. Yea...

3. Went down to PS with Eugene and the rest but myself and Joelle en-outed to Settlers' @ Clarke Quay for Vann's bday ce;ebration. Was there for a while... Though short but heard of some things that concerned a good fren and my leaders.. Hmm thought it had been settled a long time back le...

Reached home at near 12 after gg home with Mic and thank God I was on leave on Monday so can rest like nobody's biz!

Haha.. that's all for my Sunday!! Fun right?? =)

Positive and Negative

Positive or negative. It's your choice.

The negative easily hijacks our focus.

It takes no effort at all to be negative.

The human nature veers towards the negative without any help at all.

If you want to grow weeds in your garden do nothing with the garden.

If you want to grow good plants, that takes effort.

It means removing weeds regularly.

Constant vigilance that keeps our minds and hearts free from the negatives.

Our minds are like soil.

Plant potatoes, reap potatoes.

Plant roses, reap roses.

No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.' - Helen Keller

What Yang Zhenquan Junius Solomon Means

You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs. You are incredibly wise and perceptive. You have a lot of life experience. You are a natural peacemaker, and you are especially good at helping others get along. But keeping the peace in your own life is not easy. You see things very differently, and it's hard to get you to budge. You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. People see you as a complete enigma, and only you truly understand who you are. You spend most of your time introspecting and seeking truth. You're a very interesting person... but not many people know you enough to realize it. You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way. And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life. You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it. You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!
