This is it....

This is it...Days,Weeks,Months, of hard work ultimately boils down to the next 24 hours. Hmmm rousgly 13 more to the start of the paper. I really thank God for everything and anything and anyone tat has helped be it directly or indirectly to the victory over chinese. This can be done. Why!?!? I've done all i can. And I believe. God can do exceedingly abundantly above, beyond ALL that we can ask think or imagine. Facts are tommorow is exams. Truth is, God has conquered ALL!!!!

From extremely pressured to extremely sian

It has really been a real toture to study so long so hard!! I have no more stress!! Instead, I'm so bored and sian of studying. Give me a chinese book and i'll scream at you! Nontheless, I'll continue to just give it my best.

Theres only so much i can do now!!

Right in 4 days!! 4 days!! I'm going to sit for one of the toughest and mose important exams!!! The count will continue...For some reason I feel that I've done all that i can. Think the rest is all up to God. Theres only so much we can do. But with God....Hehe. Well I'll still work like a mad dog but i guess work more intelligently. 4 days people!! 4 DAYS!!!! PS. If you have not started studying. I'll be praying for you!!!

Count down

Ok nothing much. too occupied with the big O in my head!! 6 more days. so no time to waste!! Enjoy!!

It aint that easy

Being irritated happens frequently, being annoyed happens often, being angry happy is very seldom, being frustrated hardly ever happens, BLOWING UP Never happened before!! Well thats for Lionel. I am someone who hardly ever. Seriously!! It takes alot to tick me off!! And yes!! I was real angry today!! Real Real "pissed!!". Why!?!? A few friends were playinn around with me acting SO CHILDISHLY!!! taking my handphone passing it around. Rubbing wax all over the place. The sole reason I Really contained everything was because a gal was around. If not wahhhh!!! Still was able to manage and contain the anger!! When it finally stopped one friend turned and said. "see la u spoil my thing!!" I was like!! "how childish can you get!!!!" Although I didn't say it. For some reason i kinda felt bad. And yes was still real angry. Thank God I messaeged one of my friends. Yes!! Next time when you're about to blow. SMS SOMEONE!!! Then swallowed my pride and apologised to him. Think it made him feel kinda bad and yes things were better from then on.

I guess time to time we gotta swallow all pride and yes be like Jesus!! Just say sorry man. Although this was extremely stupid and shouldn't have happened. It turned out kinda good. Like what many say. Whether good or bad. We still win!!

What does HE mean to you

God. What does he mean to you. The simple sound of that name. What would it mean in your life??? To everybody it's different. To everybody its something unique. A few examples.

"God is my comfort, My refuge"

"God is my healer, He healed me!!"
"God is someone out there deciding my destiny"
"I dunno. I just simply follow That God."
"God Is love. Faith. All the good things!"
"God is the one who imposes kicks in my life!!"

All of them are all correct. None of them are wrong. What am I trying to get at. Was worshiping. When suddenly Wow!! The question was imposed. What does God mean to me!?!? I gave all answers. but somehow it didn't hit it!! But when i sang "Thank You" It all seemed so clear.

"Who is God To You??"

"God. He's everything"

New building, New Desire, New everything

Would say many things that happened along the week. Mention some captivating points only though. Yesterday was extreme sports. Not bad was kinda fun. Run like a mad man. However i felt I pushed much much harder last year! Not many comments.

The highlight was well today. Went to church a little earlier to study. So not bad, completed my sec 2A. By right. However was very captivated by the songs I were listening to. 100% radio hits. Got it from my Bro. Was really good!! So much so I was like an advertisment.

Wasn't able to do busing cuz of some new friends. However was kinda impacted to what one of the leaders said. "take ownership of the section, think like a section IC and you'll eventually become one." SO true indeed. Look at the big picutre. If you are stuck with only one point of view then sorry man, you'll remain at where you are for a while.

Went down for svc. And wow!! We're going to S'pore EXPO soon!! Well many would be like wow!! big place!! near the east. But for some reason I was real excited not cuz it was near or anything. but well cuz its a whole brand new challenge for ushers. It simple excites me to think about the time when we'll move. Totally new ball game!!

Was impacted enough. Ya right. Thats what I thought. Had TG and wow. Sis Beat really got us all thinking about our ministry where we are. And preperation for indoor stadium. Yes!!! WE NEED MORE USHERS!!! So anybody out there wanna join feel free to approach me!!=) not just that but she really got us physched up!! WOW MAN!! its coming!! EXPO!!

Straight Forward.

Thats it. Since the last post frankly it has been smooth sailing for me. Exam failed well ya. Been there, done that, took a picture, got over it. So well I'm ok now. Just have to work much much harder. Now its gonna be well kinda straight forward. Life is back to frankly the same. After school go study then go home rest tuition. Cycle continues on. But well appears boring?? NEVER!!! Haha gets more exciting by the minute!! With God?? Come one man. What can be boring??=)

Well Other than studies tomorrow got the extreme sports. Frankly I'm not feeling THAT pumped up compared to last year. Maybe cause I'm focusing so much on O levels I frankly didn't have time to care!! Hope I can salvation whatever stamina, breathing pace and mentally I used to have. And yes. 10 days away. To what?? To the impossible...=) It has been done. It can be done.

Facts are we may be failing but the truth is Jesus on the cross Bore ALL failures. - Phil Pringle

Basis of life!!

Many of us base our lives on principles. Many convictions and many preferences in our life. Some may simply live their life on preferences. swaying all the time. Others base their lives on conviction. Never budging an inch.

What am I driving at?? It is really tough to say God i praise You!! Or say I can pull through!! When everything simple seems to be going wrong!! Frankly this has been a terrible week so far!! So many of my subjects failed or did extremely below expectation!!Not gonna reveal the results but when it comes to the clutch situation. Will you say God I still believe in you. In our minds we know we should be confessing these truths even in the toughest times. However its easier said than done. Speaking out those words takes a whole lot of courage!! Courage is doing it when you know that its gonna mess up. Having no courage is not doing in when you know its gonna mess up!!

It was a terrible ordeal to Praise God. It truly truly seemed difficult. However. The 1st step is the hardest but most important. Eventually Speaking these words seemed much easier. And wow!! A peace of heart!! It has been a rough week!! But it has been an awesome week!! Whatever happens!! There is always a But GOD!! Whatever happens, I always win!! Whatever happens, I smile!!=)

Dasappointed?? I wont be!!

Why disappointed?? It has really been a great time studying for my exams. Mugging like never before. Some subjects were done in a hurried manner. Some subjects were done in an extremely long period of time.

Today we got back 3 papers. Frankly when I got them back. I had no idea how to scream shout cry?? Well 1st paper i got back was chinese. Bam!!! This was one subject I would think I spent alot of time on!! But oh man!! I failed!! 46!! A D7!! What to do!?!? Hiaz. 2nd paper was geog. Ok ba 17/25. A B3 though kinda hoped for an A. Then was E maths!! I was extremely disappointed with this one!! I was supposed to get at least a B!! But oh man. I got a C5. Not too happy. =(. Was kinda discouraged.

However. Like what phil pringle said. There are divine connections. One school mate reminded me. Its ok. Someone else msged me. Smile. Unbelievably that word helped. Well from now on!! I'm gonna be a soldier!! Enduring tough times!! I'm gonna be a victor in this whole race!! I will emerge as a victor over the devil!! Fact is I failed!! Truth is...All things work out well for those who love God.

But God!!!

Hectic, stressed, confused, mentally challenged, on the verge of breaking down. All these words and phrases describes what most of us O level students are going through!! Day in and day out hitting the books. But God!! But God!! Remember these 2 words!! But God has already won that victory!! But God gave us strength to overcome giants!! That was the message today. Was extremely impacted by it!! Not just that. Duty was also great!! Considering we had many flops. It was great. Learnt much today!! Hmmm thats all i can say!! One last thing. If you didn't go for at least 50% of the conf svc. GO get the CD!!! If you haven gotten the new CCC youth cd. Go get it!!

Thank You

Many who went for the conference with Phil Pringle would recognise these few words. Thank You. The song which immensely brought down the presence of God. The song which I love. However this update is not just about that song. You'll know why later. Normally I yould blog about conf. But well it seems everybody is doing that so ya. Look at others blog...=p

Yesterday we went shopping. Me sijia grace. Shopped till we dropped. Just kept going and going. Although I only bought 2 pieces. and both of them bought 1 each. It seemed like we shopped for so long!!

Well more importantly. Why thank You for this title?? Well don't be surprised but yes. Its a Thank you update =). 2 days ago. Something happened. Will not reveal the details. That made me so angry!! was so frustrated. Although i just contained it inside of me. Some were able to see that though. So well won't reveal who but at the right time. At the right moment. This someone sms-ed me. Smile!! haha. It kinda relieved me. However was still thinking about it. Then while my bro was driving me home. For some reason we just spoke about ushering and stuff like that which hardly related to the matter that made me angry. And for some reason. The anger was simply lifted away. I was at peace again. I don't know why but its really a Thank God situation.

Not just that but yesterday when we were eating supper with some of my bros friends. One of them said the F word. Then wow!! My bro scolded him "HEY!! My bro is here!!!" Wow!! I was so touched by that!! Looks like he really cares for me!!=)

Just as Phil Pringle has said. 90% of our detiny is not in our hands but in others. Thus we need to make connections which are divine copnnections and stay loyal to them!! And those connections. I'll treasure them!!

We need to recognise divine connections in our lives - Phil Pringle

Impossible is nothing

Not gonna blog much but found an interesting quote.

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the World they have been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact it's an opinion. Impossible is not a decleration. It's a dare. Impossible is Potential. Impossible is temporary

Impossible is Nothing - Addidas

With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. - Jesus

To think it was awesome. Then it became phenomenal

It was a great time on the 1st day. All of you would know from the last post. It was awesome. However!! I never thought it could get any better!! Yesterday was phenomenal!!! How good can this get!!

This time I served in the hall. Alpha 2 for the 1st time. Interesting experiance. Although the white board was never brought out. Still I think learnt whuite a few things. But once again. What made it so phenomenal was the presence of God once again!!! How good can this get man!! Cant wait for tonight!!

The begining of the end

Its over. After months weeks of wars battle against the flesh its over. Or is it?? Considering 3 weeks later i'm gonna face one of the battles of my life. The begining has just ended. No more playtime. No more fun! It's now a continous cycle of Unbelievable mental and physical challenges. Time is a big factor now. I'm gonna have to use it ever so wisely. Yes there will definately be breaks and time to rest. However it is all limited. However when it comes I'm ready!!

Yesterday Was the 1st day of Phil Pringle. It was kinda funny cuz was speaking to one of my friends " What happens if you're asked to do overflow room ic and cant sit in the hall??" Will you do it?? And low and behold. Was sent up as 2nd ic for overflow. It was a good experiance. Lawrence was the ic. Wanna thank him for helping me and teaching me so much!! Considering there were many flops. It was still a good experiance nontheless!! Simply awaiting to serve!!

Frankly I didn't really catch the message yesterday. So well gonna have to buy the cd again!! But though it was kinda tough listening. I would say something was different about Phil Pringle. He went up on stage to speak. He just seemed so WOW!! the way he preached was real powerful!! Impacting Changing. Frankly yesterday was the best I've ever seen from him! Not only that during worship time. It was awesome!! Not just because the music was awesome or the worship song was incredible. But really for some reason everything just seemed to link to create an awesome atmosphere and presence. GOD WAS THERE!! Even in that overflow room!! Never have I felt such a strong presence for so long!!

This was kinda a word yesterday that was imparted. "Whenever leading a team or leading a cell group. Don't simply go out to evangelise. Go out to disciple. Go one step further, Don't just disciple. Go further than discipling!!" Especially in this ministry!! So whenever God wants me to take a team. I'm ready!! A quote to end.

Prepare and get ready for the worst. Hope for the best to happen!! - Lawrence (He told me this phrase yesterday)

Fact and truth!!

What is the impossible?? It's different for many people!! What may seem impossible to me may seem so simple to anybody else!! Then again what may seem so impossible for others seem may seem so simple for me. Well this happens many times. However these are Facts!!

Fact is Lionel Choong is about to go through an examination which will determine his whole future, and he is kinda worried that he may not do well!!

Truth of the matter is that Lionel Choong has already conquered that exam which is a minority in God's eyes.

Bring things to a more realistic range. Fact is 200 plus years ago. No man thought we could lift of the ground in flight.

Truth is nothing is impossible!! And what do you know. Man is flying sky high!

This can be applied to everything and anything!! Focus on the Truth not on the Facts!!

Today well we did communion frankly it wasn't too well done. Won't speak of the details. But much has to be learnt!! Lionel also did the impossible!! He ushered in a Chinese Church Service!! Meaning ushering in Chinese!! This was the 1st time!! At first I never knew it could be done!! But wow man!! He kinda succeeded!! (relate back to truth and Fact)

Tomorrow is gonna be the last stretch. After this I won't stop studying. A few more days and the big O's. Their coming. Coming to be conquered!!

Stepping out?? feel free to do so.

Right its kinda been a while since i blogged. So well quick summary of exciting points!! Starting from sunday altho already blogged that want this one to be a full one!! Well it was cool!! doing duty!! Once again Traffic!! Well hopefully i can get the hang of the com set and well frankly multi-tasking!! Well Many things were learnt. Need to be ahead of hotel 1 in certain things!! It was an awesome service nontheless!!

Next!! Monday!! Its a holiday!! or is it?? WOke up at 8 and had tuition! The 1st time in amazingly long i woke up that early just to have tuition!! Went for my grandma's bday lunch. Well in case you all don't know. There's a new addition to the choong family!! and now lionel's an uncle!! New nephew, names mikel. Interesting name hur. He's so cute!! I felt I could simply cuddle and crush him!! After that headed to marine parade to study. Sat down and studied for 6 hours!! E maths all the way!! Studied with bert. He seemed a little annoyed for some reason!! Exam stress!?!? Most probably yeah!!

Well for the next few days I won't tell you about me studying. Cause well frankly its like everyday straight after school i'll hit the books!! Well monday was really good!!! Had E maths!! The most amazing thing happened again!! Well I'll have to thank Huizi again!! Was kinda struck during E maths though it was generally easy. Had a few tough questions. So well finished early So closed my eyes and prayed for wisdom for somehow a miracle to happen!! True enough For some miraclulous reason!!! The question seemed so easy!! This happened last year and was inspired by Huizi!! So wow man!!!

Special Tools

im bored. Exams, exams and more exams! Are we done with it? Its been quite exciting, i mean... yes, exciting. Tried a few different style of doing my paper.

Example:
English Summary
The norm would be me trying to highlight the points in the passage and then write my summary. Tt day, i decided to highlight the pts, write it down. edit 1st, den write properly. I used up 1 hr to do it! Woo.. thank God i managed to finish the paper. Waiting excitedly for the results... did i do well? or shld i revert back to my old style of writing?

Chinese Paper 1
I did another special thing that is to do Bao Zhang Bao Dao. Normally i would use narrative writing, write very few words... but i was challenged to do newspaper article and write 2 pages long! And i did! Thats the 1st time i ever do tt! Hopefully my results wld be better! Amen!

So excited for results! Pray and Pray! I can do it thru Jesus!
