Woo.. these few days after AC had been great! Days of fellowship after fellowship! =) Really blessed with the people ard me and you had nv failed to make my day more exciting than the day before! Always something to look forward to everyday! =D

Monday was out with Feng Ming and Sing Yee for makan (oh that's when I bought my new E71 too! hee) and almost wanted to get Cass out but too bad she was at movie. Ate at Just Acia in Dhoby Ghaut X'change... 1st time hanging out with them but the combi was great and it was really simply amazing! =)
Tuesday was a rest day with 12 hours of good sleep uninterrupted (most I had since AC days) and man the sabbath was good! Haha!!
Wednesday was out with Clark, Nicole and YP for Madagascar and man the movie was nice but too bad it was a bit short to really enjoy the whole geez of it. It was the 1st time hanging out with Clark and found out that there are many things which I could really learn from him etc. Shall ask him out more often in the future! =)
Thursday was out with Yvonne for dinner and catching up and after with En... Played in the arcade and it had been the longest time since i last went to play in the arcade with friends? We were playing this spot-the-difference game and there was this uncle that stood there helping us with half of what we didn't spot throughout the entire process. Are older people really good at such? haha!
Friday's more fun because we celebrated Jasmine's birthday. Many interesting things happened but shall not share much but one thing I must say was that I kana sabo-ed into giving flowers to Jas by Jo and i was like "You good lor!"... Felt kind of weird coz didn't know half the people present at the dinner (all are from JW de) but all know who am I. Pengz! Cannot stand it somehow and especially after AC, most people in ministry would have known who i am because they always come to Logistics for things during AC and would approach me for it. X_X
Had a filling dinner at Kenny Rogers though the portion was a bit small and thanks to Simon for the ride home! =)
Saturday will be finally be fellowship with CG maybe? Been missing fellowship with the guys for the last 1mth plus due to prep for AC yea..
Sunday is ushering!! Yea!! gonna be fun because I get to serve with my own section and God, I'm really looking forward to doing many miracles this week on! =)

Thanks for all the wonderful people that you have placed around me and truly I'm so blessed yet again! =)

Written by a CHEC staff:

I just want to say Big Thank You to all the ushers who have worked extremely hard during the Conference. Throughout the 5 days, my encounters with the ushers have been really pleasant. They are ever so helpful, always smiling, despite the difficult crowd at times.

There was once while I was queuing to enter the hall, when a group of upset foreign delegates were asking to be let into the hall. The door usher was a petite, young girl of not more than 18. She was pleasant yet firm, and was not daunted by the large crowd. Her gentle words of assurance and tact in handling the adults displayed much wisdom. I was really impressed.

Throughout the 5 days, more than the messages, the ushers' attitude truly impacted me. There are frequent incidences when ushers were reprimanded by members, delegates, greeters, yet they tried their best to be pleasant while getting their job done. I'm touched by the ushers, many of them are so young, their servanthood is really commendable.

We showcased many remarkable talents and programmes on stage during the Asia conference, but the church also showcased a great people with great attitude off-stage. That's why I sincerely think they are the unsung heroes. I would like to thank all of them for going the extra mile, I'm sure many echoed my sentiments."


One thing I know is that our ushers are simply amazing.
Imagine being reproached by delegates or members not being able to go in yet still being able to talk to them and comfort them in good spirit.. Not many can really do that but our ushers simply rose up to the occasion and became the shining light to make the mark difference!

Ushers, you guys rocks and I'm proud to be serving with you!!!! =D
Oh I forgot to mention something in my last post and I wanted to blog about it. Haha.

It's these 3 letters; HOG (Heart of God)

I had the honour of serving with the HOG ushers for the 5 days of AC 08 and they really wowed me with their service, their fervency wanting to impact and their determination to make things happen, even to their youngest ushers!
I'd told FM that they reminded me of the ushers in the early Expo days because that time everyone came together to serve, and fellowship was there, every single weekend of support you just make new friends. More than that, we were there for each other and you can really see the passion to serve. That's also when I was so impacted by the ministry. =)

I also had the chance to serve with some of their CUs like Yilin and Jeremy. One thing about you guys are that you are zealous in every part of you and though tired you still made things happen not only for yourself but to others too. It's really the 'Make it Happen' attitude that impressed me! You guys are solid la!! =)

Anyway, you guys are so amazing! I really can't wait to be serving with you guys again and i certainly hope that day will come real soon! (thinking of the monthly powerhouse next year and Emerge '09!!)
Asia Conference 2008.

Not just any conference but it's a gateway for God to come into Asia, stronger and better and His people being strengthened to take on the world for Christ to engage the marketplace! So cool rite?

Personally I'm blessed by this conference, in this season for the fact that God had really come true in my life, answering all the prayers and being there to be the solution provider. Amen to that!
Every nite since Tuesday reaching home early in the morning and leaving the house 3-4 hours later plus having 2-4 hours of slp a day is no joke for 6 days straight but God really pulled through for me. And still able to survive and doing well. Haha. Overall it's really a job well done for many of us and I'm glad that the whole Logistics really did excellently in supporting the whole conference and kudos to the people who really make things possible!

There were minor hiccups here and there but the Logis team really stood in the gap for each other, from the usher cupboard keys to buckets to elements and to running the whole show. Every single one had a different talent to contribute and because of the different dynamics, a form of special synergy was formed. God is really good on this part. Haha.

During the conference I was really challenged in many ways be it operations or planning or even to just talking to the people but I'm glad it was good training and i think it's paying off too. =) Imagine yourself being sharp while u r all tired and cranky. How cool can that be? And you'll be even sharper when u r all charged up andready to go!! =D Still thank God I had come onto another level of those though there were things still lacking in but gonna build on them one at a time.
AC = Point of Breakthrough!

Anyway it's breakthrough time! Next up, Christmas in 4 weeks' time! Man time really flies but that's one thing more to create a miracle for! =)

Will blog more later about AC. Stay tuned!!

Now's lunch break but shall just blog for a while... 2 days more to AC 2008! So excited for it and so glad to be receiving affirmations and all. Thanks! =) *you know who you are*

AC 2008 is gonna be the breakthrough point for me and I guess I need to put double seat-belts because the ride's gonna be breathtaking. Haha!!

Last 2 days had been crazy crazy crazy!!! AC stuff is never ending and was practically running about here and there but all was good because all things are done for a greater purpose than just serving! =)
Somehow I hope for the next 5 days I don't grow to not like to stay in Expo because for the last 2 days I stayed for more than 12 hours in Expo per day and it's scary!!! Was even crying out to Karen yesterday not to have the meeting in Expo but somewhere else! =S Ended we went to T2! Anywhere was fine as long as it's not Expo! LOL!

In this season and very recently, I'm very glad to have leaders that watches over me and really keeps me on the tab and the right track in my spiritual walk + ministry! People like Karen, Yonghui aka Shifu, Tze Hwa, Eugene, 81 yea! haha!!

Will emphasize on more about them in the next few posts but probably gonna be after AC. 5 full exciting days full of fun but definitely gonna be tired along the way but God's gonna be there so everything's possible! =)

Till laters! =)

Things had come a long way since 2 years ago. Have to make sure I do not go back to where I had fallen from...It's the test I have to overcome and pass. Got to rise up and overcome.

Pride will not come into play but humility shall be present among all. I'm going to treat people with respect and honour them, not judge nor criticise them.

I will learn to respect the timing of God and not rush and be impatient.

My time will come.

Came across these two terms today: Armour bearer and Burden bearer.

Sounds easy to do it but when you learn to bear the shield for your leader and lifting the burdens for him in action, it probably won't be. But in this season I want and I shall be that Armour bearer and the Burden bearer to whom I serve. =)

hihihi!!! It's a brand new Saturday morning and I just woke up! *Yawns* heh heh!

This weekend is pretty exciting to start with as it's the Pledging weekend later and in 18 days time, Asia Conference! Man this month of November is seriously packed with the thrills of a rollar coaster man!

Yesterday during CGM, I was wowed by the message, but the sharing that Sean did was even more 'WOW'. I think this season we are really talking about shining in the marketplace and being the salt and light. One good example in the Bible was really Daniel. Even among the Babylonians, Daniel and his 3 friends stood out and Daniel was described as 10 TIMES BETTER!!

During the 10 days of training when Daniel requested for vegetables and water while the Babylonians were given portions of King's food (tht included delicacies of all kinds).
Imagine in present day context even if you are to survive on vegetables and water alone, you'll probably be thinned and not as strong. But Daniel and his 3 friends were different such that they were stronger, smarter and their features were nicer than them. Wow it's really a move of God in the marketplace to shine for Him.

Can we be the Daniel in this present day to shine for Christ to take on the world?
