God and well Science...

Well, recently since I have been studying like a mad man.

I kinda took a little time out to check some quotes out.

Mind you this is purely out of curiosity. No form of intentions made.

Well this was kinda inspired by someone who said something I will quote later...

All these quotes originate from the well renown einstein.

They link the theory of physics and chemistry to God.

Ain't it cool...its like...in lame man A maths terms...proving God...

Instead of continually proving boring Trigo...heh...

Here goes...

1. Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction
2. Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love
3. Imagination is more important than knowledge
4. Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one
5. I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details
6. I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice
7. God is subtle but he is not malicious
8. The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility
9. The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education. ( Ok fine...this is kinda not related...but its funny...)
10. God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically
11. Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding
12. We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. ( I like this)
13. Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school
14. Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts

NUS

Well new joint to study. NUS. Heh. Ok fine...a little short to notify... but yeah, its a gd a place.

A few essentials...

Just for the fun of it and to destress, I came up with a few do's and dont's during exam.

Do's

1. Always, always pray!! That's the most important thing, get your spirit up
2. Get distractions away, studying outside may be good.
3. Music is good when things really get 'hot'.
4. Friends can be good or bad. Study with study peeps, not talking ones
5. Good food, makes a good student.
6. Caffeine may just do the trick to get you studying. Coke helps.
7. Burn the fats to destress. Exercise.
8. HAve a goal and vision in mind. so you can focus.
9. Like what you do, like to study
10. Remember to Rest. Even before exams.

Dont's

1. Study in front of com. Never helps, and even if you think you can study, you can't.
2. Never quantity but quality. Spend proper time and study SMART.
3. But never give in and use point 2 as an excuse to study an hour a day.
4. Eat heavy meals before studying, you'll sleep.
5. Multi-task while studying. Never helps.
6. Over-stress yourself. A happey student makes good results.
7. Burn the oil. Sleep when you're tired.
8. Think you know it all. You don't, so study...

Well thats about it, hope it helps...=p

Goodbye my friends...Hopefully this aint the end

Ok, Lets throw away the fact the the O's are drawing even nearer.

But today I just graduated.

Yes I am no longer a Maris. No more school song, officially that is.

Well it was a little emo today. No one cried.

But it was kinda touching to see how we all have changed.

Heh...we got a few pics...My class...2005 4F...

Right. I'm starting the stupid annoying countdown which everybody will hate me for.

Serious...the last time i put the countdown till chinese O's.

Many came and requested i stop doing that.

But I didn't, face reality peeps.

27 days to O's.

Let me repeat.

27 DAYS TO O LEVELS!!!!

Whoever who can't understand what i just said. Don't take your O's...

Well its like a redefinement of stress...

It's no longer the I chiong to please.

Or the I chiong to do pass.

Now is like, I chiong for A's...

Whatever you see with your eyes, is subject to change

It is finally over...but am i rejoicing?? I wonder

It's amazingly kind of emotional, Surprisingly.

A few days ago, I just attended my last official day in school.

Yes, my Maris days are over. They are over.....

Now frankly I'm extremely happy it ended, but well. For some reason, I'm kinda sad

I'm gonna miss this hopeless school. For 10 whole years. Thats like a decade.

I have grown from a little dimwit, to who i am today.

All in this school.

Ok fine, I'm getting a little emo here....Though I shouldn't be. But yeah.

Maris Stella, There were the good, the bad and the plain ugly.

Hmmm For the fun of it, and simply for the fun of looking back,

We took like a whole bunch of pics, will upload soon.

All Maris, study hard man...

last week

Well. this is it. Its actually my last week in Maris Stella. Heh actually I wanted to blog about something bad about one of the teachers but decided not to,

maybe cause i feel nice since its 3 days to graduation

or maybe i wouldn't wanna get caught by police.

Well yeah. Heh its actually dawning upon me that.

Hey Its over.

After 10 long years, its actually over!! No more horrible Brother Anthony,

No more white uniforms,

No more paya lebar school!!

I wonder whats going to happen after this??

My friends?? Hmmm...I pray I won't lost contact

Lets not k........All the best for you O's.......

Shine...Shine with the light of christ!!=)

Do what you love, Love what you do

It's a simple concept. A concept of success. I heard this phrase somewhere.

We need to know what we are called to do and do what we're called to do.

We need to love what we do and do what we love.

If we don't love what we're doing, we won't be successful in life

If we don't love what we do.

Start loving it or changing what we're doing till we start loving it!

It has to be FUN!!!

Why am I doing this??

It came to my mind a few days ago, how normal it is.

For someone to be so used to do what he's doing he forgets why is he doing it in the 1st place!!

For example, you study so hard, you forget why you are actually studying.

This sounds stupid, out-of-my-mind to post this. But yes I will.

Somebody spoke to me a few days ago and told me.

Are you doing this cause you have to or you want to??

Hmmm...Till now I still wonder. Do I do things cause I have to??

For the 1st time I'm kinda in a lost for words.

No real mood to blog......

It's been kinda wierd these few days. Very wierd.......

25

Seriously, its actually dawning upon me.

I ain't good enough.

25 points is like crap. Really man!!!

AHHHH!!! Means I muz work work work.

However, the relax mood is still on for some reason.

Definitely my results have improved, tremendously.

From 33 points to 25, not bad.

No fail, no C6. But it just ain't enough.

I'm NOT going to burn the oil.

I ran too fast, now i gotta take it a little slower.

Give me 2 weeks and I'll go crazy again.

2 weeks, I wonder if thats too short, or too long.

1st paper is 1month away,

Hmmm lets stress ourselves here.

1 MONTH!!!!

If you're not studying, study!!!

If you gave up...PICK UP!!

If you're getting 40 plus points,

Don't sleep the next few days..............

Perfectionist

I'm a perfectionist I suppose.

I seek perfection and want things to be really well done.

A simple pass is hardly ever satisfying.

Yesterday, I did not show that sense and urge for perfection.

Long story, won't really care to explain. But we all learn from mistakes.

Today, I entered school tired, sleepy but full of excitement for some reason?

Perhaps its been 3 weeks since our real school day.

And its been rather nerve wreching, waiting for prelim results.

However, As the day began, that excitement became worry, and nervousness.

It seemed that everything counted on this prelims.

I had expected it to be bad for some subs, and good for the others.

However I was disappointed but pleasently surprised time to time.

I had not reached my expectation. However, I seek to strive harder.

Much harder!! Its seriously not satisfying to see your grades in a devastating state.

Well whats done is done, we got plus minus 1 more month.

Jia You guys!!

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. - King David

Stage 2

Just finished preparing for Stage 2 duty tomorrow.

I'm actually kinda excited. I wanna redeem myself.

The last time I did Stage 2 for a "conference" or a big event was Emerge.

And that duty was the bomb of terror. Everything went wrong.

This time, I'll make it good. I want to serve much better.

Help me Father.....

Mentally I'm ready, Spiritually not yet.

Thats why I'm gonna pray now.....

Let's Conquer the Hall!!! - Brother Eugene

Be healed!!

Right, I just realised I'm not really getting better.

My cough is really getting annoying.

Eating is now becoming a chore.

It hurts to eat. Man how sad can that get??

I've kinda lost my appetite like that! Heh.

Well this is the worst. I was drinking water then I realised,

The water has a taste. The taste of blood. meaning. Some part of my throat is bleeding!!!

AHHHH!!!

I seriously Pray that I'll be healed. Not my will, but your be done!!!

Think I should go see a doc.....

Outpouring!!

I started the day feeling down. Perhaps cause I didn't really sleep well, or I was thinking too much about what was I to do the next day.

Seriously man.

At times I really wonder whats wrong with me??

Well back to reality. Frankly I wasn't feeling well. Not physically but in the inside.

It felt strange like something missing. Like I've lost that fire. I really didn't get it?

Everything seemed fine the day before. Now this? well I totally had no mood to do much.

Studied yes, was looking forward to a BS at 6. But I totally didn't feel like going.

I wasn't excited for some reason. Yes Wow!! FT2!! But hmmm.

I kind of dragged myself there. With a little encouragement from Vincent, things got better.

Lesson started. Kinda happy Pst Aeris was preaching, loved his preaching!

However little did I know it was a God appointment.

Pst began preaching. And wow!! It was really cool. He preached on the outpouring of the Hols Spirit and how it was like a waterfall. It seemed so in time for me.

When I was kind of down and getting tired. This was really a Word in season.

Not just that. I went home. Did QT. And wow wow wow!!

I realised this. At times we feel lousy but seriously, push on!! Heh I remember Ulf Ekman Saying this once. God likes to play hard to get...=)

Well this song you're hearing now in a way helped. Enjoy. It makes me smile...

Wo Ke Shou

It means "I'm coughing" in chinese. Amazingly, I'm sick. Yes Lionel Choong is actually sick. And Its real this time. Forgetting all those fake ones during NPCC. Heh. Well I'm kinda shocked that I fell sick. I don't think its normal or natural. The only time I'm ALWAYS sick is yes chinese new year. Thats when I stuff my sad little stomach with all those junk food. Well I went to the doc on Sunday. He said its a throat infection. OUCH!!!! That kinda pierced my heart. I mean it sounded bad. Then he said it can be cured in 2 or 3 days. Hmmm Well this is the 2nd day and it only got a little better. I dunno how this stuff works

I hate the taste of medicine. Always disliked it. And every morning I'm forced to eat a few tablets of sun chorella. Eeeee. What to do with 'Kiasu' Parents. Heh.

Well Its a real pain man. I pray that my throat gets healed soon. Its so so annoying!! For once I'm like actually following my doc's instructions when he said "boy no fried food". Heh I dunno But maybe its stress?? Hmmm.Ya Think its stress....Yeah Its confirm stress. =)

changing

Things don't seem the way they suppose to be these couple of days. I actually talked back to my mum when she said "don't study la, lets go eat dinner." Now I just hope I don't into a freak. Well at least I'm resting. Relaxing. Perhaps in a wrong way?? I realise I'm wasting my time in friendster. Which is so totally wrong.

What can i do?? heh...wat to do?? Think i'll go download songs....yeah...hopefully that seems interesting.

Well I was kinda looking back at some photos and wow. I realised everybody has changed. With the exceptions of one or two. People seem to mature at different rates. Heh. Well think i'm done. To all Maris...Enjoy your practicals!!!! =)

Practical??

A short one. Heh i found this kinda interesting...Though I have been studying like a mad man. I totally forgot about my practical tomorrow...Now thats funny...wahaha!! Thank God its physcis pract only....phew...=)

Empty handed

Life would be seem very regimental, standard, uniform these past few days. Frankly it has. Past few days were rather machine days, going out to study, coming home like 10 plus, pray sleep wake up to study again. Hiaz, well thats life. But today, one of my friends experienced something that I think would cahnge his course of life. Well he broke up. Heh. This is wierd man. When he actually broke up, I didn't know what to say, what to think. To be happy or.... I have always thought to myself this time is extremely crucial, its the time to study. But perhaps it seems to difficult without someone by your side. I actually brought myself to carry his burden. Someone once said, Don't be too involved with others till it affects you. I think even I'm getting affected. However sometimes its really good to know that i'm always taken care of. I will never run out of love. Hmmm... I'm always alive in your hands. It makes me remember how important God is.
Empty handed but
Alive in your hands.....
-Delerious

My Cup runs over!!!

God is good
The Devil is bad
And we win!

Whatever happens, everything happens for a good reason and we always seem to win!! Ain't tat cool?? Well I admit, there have been disappointments. But somehow it always seem that everytime bad things happen, and it passes...Something good happens!

It may seem so simple, frankly that has been the way it is!! I have been tremendously blessed by so many things these pass few days!! A few weeks ago, my Mum actually offered to get a new phone for me!! Wow man!! how often does that happen?? And its A Motorola V3!!!! WOW man!!

Last week when I just gave my very first fruits, I was given $200 by my grand parents as a real belated birthday gift.

Today I was real blessed by many usher leaders who indeed really pushed and inspired me!! its so coooool!! Not just that!! Cut long story short!! I was actually offered a job!! By Pst Lilian!! Wow man!! I was thinking of working after O's, I haven even started looking for one and I'm already offered one!! This is really a God Appointment!!

You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over - King David

Start your Engines!!

The engine is rusty, oil is old. However the car has just been polished, buffed and wiped totally clean. At times that is what I feel. Trying to think. Ok I'm going to rest for this period of time. But actually It aint working, The man inside aint getting enough rest!! Thus the wearing out process is not slowed down.

I stopped the car 4 days ago, now I gotta struggle to restart my engine!! Perhaps the old traditional method of giving a good old kick may work..........If anybody is reading this......Bring me into reality by doing what is needed!!!

The battle is over, however the war is not lost!! Well recently I just watched Gladiator. So totally cool! Well relating back, heh it seems the general became a slave and the slave overpowered the emperor, hopefully one day I can overpower these books of mine....

Sounds totally psychotic?? Frankly, I'm tired of being sane...right...now that just sounds wierd... I take back what I just said...Wait why am I typing whatever that runs thru my mind on this blog? Hmmm...this is wierd....I'm losing it...heh....

Tell me what you want, want you really really want.....Lionel SiNGssssss!!!!!!!!

Will you run with me??

At times we realise nothing is working. Seriously everything falls down. Everybody experiences it. Even me. However i choose to keep running. Despite falling. I may fall again but I'll pick up again. If its a vicious cycle, then i'll make sure i keep getting up!!! These past few weeks, I have seen people go up sprinting. However in the slightest stone that hits their feet. They fall, fall so badly they can't get up. I can help. A friend in need is a friend in deed. But there's so much I can help. Ultimately it all boils down to this, "will you run with me??".

If there's a will, there's a way.............

It Is finished

Months have passed. The worst is over? This is the very last time i'll be seeing such an exam paper ever again. No more papers titled Maris Stella. This is it. Prelims are over. But there's a bigger war waiting for us!!

People screamed, shouted for joy. Frankly its a real joyous occasion. Everybody deserves a pat on the back, everyone deserves a good rest. Don't care about how well you did in the past few papers, you deserve the good night's rest. All of us do. Me? What rest?

Its havoc, it madness, but its absolute pure enjoyment!! For the next 5 days, gonna relax and abandon my books. Bye bye. Heh. Went to East Coast Park, had fun there. Cycled to Changi Airport, k that is crazy and I'll never do that again. Learned how to skate and yes it fun! (except the falling part...OUCH!!!)

Well most of all. Thank God its all over. I really believe he carried me through this extremely tough time. I didn't break down from stress. Seriously thank God for that!

Outbreak....Disaster!!

There are a few sypmtoms of exam stress, many in fact but gonna name a common few I've seen.
1) Stress, everybody experiences this, rushing for time, lack of sleep, days of tireless studying. This is very common.
2) Lack of sleep resulting in eye bags!! Hmmm though its really ugly, i guess this can be tolerated. Maybe cause almost everybody has it?? even though you sleep like real early.
3)Realise you're gonna fail anyway. This is bad, you lose motivation to study and fail, continueing a very vicious cycle.
4) Losing your mind. This is when you start laughing for no apparent reason or start speaking way out of point at times. K this is rare...but it happens....this is scary...
5)Anti-socialism. This is when you begin to be so competitive or stress you begin to backstab people or ignore every friend you come across just cuz you wanna spend more time studying.
6)Indulging in Food. This is an outlet for relieving stress...once again...its a scary cycle.
7)Pimple Outbreak. This is the saddest of all. You get so stress, outbreak!! Whatever happens...please please...avoid this!!! Its a disaster!! Seriously...I noticed a few in my class having outbreaks...so please people!! Study hard but take care of your face!!=) Hopefully this helps any O or A level student...heh...

Time to Shine!!

Some people deem the Exam period the most stressful, some wierdos think its real relaxing. For me, it hasn't been a real stroll in the park. WHy am I here blogging and not studying?? I'm experiencing a rare symptom of exams, the "I think I know everything, but actually I don't so I got no more drive to study." This my frenz, is extremely annoying. Well...I don't know I still feel rather confident everytime I enter the exam hall, leaving confident is another issue altogether. However one thing that I realised, some people enter real stressed, and these guys are like REAL STRESSED, an outbreak of pimples, never thinking that they're ever ready, oh man. Please!! Seriously, its only an exam!! Well... How do you get confidence?? Well a couple of things I realise. 1) You gotta be confident with your knowledge, study hard but everytime you cover ground in your text or your 10 year series, think to yourself, you're one step closer, you feel much more assured!! 2) this I feel is the most important!! You have to be confident in who you are in Christ!! If you know you are a victor, a conqueror, overcomer. You'll realise, no matter how nerve wrenching it may be, you can remain calm. In this exam period, you can choose to shine or be shone upon, its up to you.

I can do the impossible

I have finally felt it means to truly be "stressed". Don't get me wrong, its not all from studies, in fact I'm feeling very very little stress from my Studies at the moment. however, yesterday was service day, everything went well, the message preached was awesome!! However, Hmm I won't really mention much but yeah, I really felt real stressed and a little irritated because of the stress, wasn't too happy when I went home, hmmm. Everything just seemed to pile on top of me, really so much! It gets real tiring. Seriously, I have never felt this way in an extremely long time. EVERYTHING SEEMED TO FALL DOWN ON ME!!!! Well when I got home, It didn't get one bit better, hmmm till I just felt, my goodness, I have no way out. Till I simply picked up the Bible and read then hey, God Is close to the broken hearted. It made me remember, remember all the good times, when God really delivered me, how he made me do the impossible. Then I got up and Praised, Like never before!! Then that night, so many people started encouraging me through sms, I have no idea why!! it made me feel real good. I felt I could take on Giants again, I felt I could move Mountains! I felt I could do the impossible once again!!=)

God is bigger than the air I breathe
The world we'll leave
God will save the day and all will say
My glorious!

Ok I had to post this...although racist but ahhh!! This is real funny!! 

Explore Explore

It was a real bor to study recently...don't really know why, found myself slacking much more than I should, anyway today crashed NYP!! Frankly it was kinda interesting, all their com labs and stuffs, the people there were kinda friendly. Studied there with one of my ushers, the mac there is so so so so so cheap!! $5 for a double mcspicy upsize!! WOW!!

Ok fine, I'm lame, I'm bored, but yeah chanced upon a blog and this person commented this on FOP ushering. "I envy those who couldn't feel their legs, I could feel mine, and they hurt." Heh...

Stress??

It's back to daily normal studious life now. I found it rather easy to get back on track. however, it just seems so near yet so far. WHY!!! I feel I know everything but the fact is I Don't!! This makes me lose the drive and motivation to study. I was kind of agitated yesterday when I was doing maths but it seems I've completed everything, however when I did a paper, Nothing could seem to work out for me. Its 5 days to prelims, I'm tired of being freaked out, tired of being nervous. I seriously don't know if this is good or bad.

All I Need is you , All I need is you Lord, Is you Lord..............

Festival of Prasie

It was a time or pure worship, pure excitement, enjoyment, perhaps there are many words to describe this. However, Festival Of praise has really been great!! Well lets start from Thursday. i kinda ditched my A Maths cuz I kinda felt i needed to head down for Support, so yeah went down. Helped in some areas, and wow to my surprise, Bro Alex needed me for support, I was thinking nothing much. Hmmm. Ran a little, kinda shack amazingly. With sports shoe I ran till my leg hurt a little. Imagine with leather shoes?

Friday Came homr from school, printed some stuff, got prayed up and reported for duty. And yes for the first time I worked with Sijia. Haha! Helped Sis beat for traffic then immediately went down to run for 80 or brother alex at 7. Was kinda hectic, people everywhere, learnt the importance of even the smallest things, not just the big picture but the minority as well! Praise and Worship was a real experience!!

Saturday went down a little early, did support, same thing, wow things like bottle necks, work stoppages, it all seems so clear! There after. Got ready for FOP! It's round 2! I felt Everything seemed to flow better, even got to work with heart of god ushers! Now saturday was real tiring.
However Praise and Worship was still awesome!! Majesty, Take all of me, all i need is you, I give you my heart, all these songs were sung, I loved them!! Wahaha!! Delerious was cool, Hillsong as well! Well that night, my brother for some reason called me to help him in traffic. hmmm ok. So helped him for a while. But i was sooooooo tired!! at like 1145 was literally waiting for my bro at logistics, then waited outside cause logistics needed to pack. then at like 12, my bro finally decided to go home!! WOOHOO! he passed me his jacket cover asking me to hold it, but then he grabbed my hand and pulled me, everybody around started singing happy birthday!! Then I realised!! OH MY GOODNESS!!! ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!! 7th august!! Haha! I was so touched by it!=)

Sunday!! My brothday day!! haha well yes I still served!! This time with joy! Some people ask whats the best gift? HMmm frankly I would say, being able to serve God on my brithday!! wahaha!! Won't say much about duty but yeah wanna thank a few peopel overall for this FOP!!

Qing Ni - Guided me well!! Taught me much!! If you have not been here! I doubt I'll be where I am now!! Thanks abot!!

Sis shirley, Bro Eugene - You've given opportunities to serve as much as I can!! I expand my capacity and taught me much!! thanks so much!!

My CG W216!! - Despite them not being around me for this whole FOP, you've all helped me alot my by all of those sms!!

Bro Alex!! - Thanks so so so much for giving me this opporutnity!! It was indeed enjoyable running for you!! I have learnt much!! Absorbed much!! What I have gotten in SIS i'll bring it back and pass it to everybody!!

All ushers!! - Sorry If you're not mentioned but yeah! It's great working with all of you!!

Oh yeah one last person, last but not least,
Sijia - Well it's like the first time working with you?? Thought you really did a great job, never expected to work with you that well, expected us to joke around alot heh. But yeah I hope you learnt something this FOP!! COntinue to grow yeah!! I did have fun running along side with you!!

Miracles do happen

Well I guess miracles indeed do happen. In this short period of like what, 1 month?? I have seen the trials, temptations and blessings in this arise and build. However what recently happened has indeed made known, that this cannot be denied. MAking that 1st step indeed is the most important, it moves mountains. Here's the story. I was in my mum's car, driving home from BS. Was rather tired, but was conversing. Till she told me something. My grandfather had recieved some money and is going to treat us a dinner one day. I was thinking he won some horse bet or something. However, it was far from that. Many years ago, My Grandfather's grandfather was a son of a real rich man in the past. In other words, my great great great grandpa was a real rich person. So due to the relation, my grandfather would recieve like $2000 every 6 months. I was thinking, wow not bad. However this month was different, due to the real huge profits made, he got $20000!!!! tats like 10 times the usual!! Well it sounded good, then my mum told me, couple of years back, she lent money to my grandfather, now he returns it, double. she recieved $5000. Whats the amazing thing? When she pledged for arise and build, she was really financially tight. Really tight!! However she pledged a huge amount! Unknowingly, there was a move in the spirit realm. She pledged her precious, her real life savings!! How much did she pledge?? $5000.

Whatever God calls for He provides - Pst Kong

Something Amiss

Perhaps something is wrong. Or I simply can't accept failure. Whatever happens, I always seem to say It's good, though it's real bad, I still say it's good. Don't really know but Sometimes I really have to admit. It really is very very bad. Wondering what I'm speaking about? 2 things. 1 was yesterday's duty. Frankly It wasn't well done. It was rather bad. In fact very bad. I focused so much on the big things, till I forgot about the minor details. I was so absorbed with getting everything in place. I forgot to accomplish the minority. Perhaps I'm putting too much pressure on myself? Perhaps I think too much on the results and what will people say about me? Whatever it is. One thing I know. This is Wrong!!! Change has to happen! I like what Mike Connel said. We all have to change!! 2nd thing was that one of my friends, well I won't mention who, if i do it'll break his heart even more. However, Me saying it's ok it's ok may not work all the time. Something I realised.

Well nontheless next week is FOP. Well I was pleasently surprised by many things. I frankly don't know if this is good or bad. Prelims in 2 weeks. But many things were assigned to me. 1) I just recieved my position for FOP, Gonna run for Brother Alex once again!! Hopefully it'll be fun this time! 2)Recruitment! 3)Photos for Lawrence. Well it can all work well. But one thing! Time management! =) and definitely With God I can do all things!

You don't understand me? I don't understand you? So why care?

I have found it extremely ironic. EXTREMELY Disgusted by a few of my friends actions today. Not to the extreme of me getting angry but it was big enough to make a mark. It was simple, 1 guy broke up, and the other was pissed cuz that gal was his cousin. Frankly, anybody would get pissed. Even I didn't like what I heard. Not only that. This wasn't the first time.

Soon enough, rumour spread and gossiping began, from white became black. Soon many friends began toexclude him from conversations, keep away from him. The most hurtful thing was that we were all close friends, I mean one of the best of friends, then huh?? It all crumbled in an instant? I was annoyed not by what he did but how my friends reacted!

Instead of being angry, understand him! I'm sure he isn't a heartless man! Not only that. HELLO!!! We were a pose at first, definitely we can understand each other. However it seems not. Just because of 1 girl. there goes years of friendship. Frankly I'm dissapointed. Very dissapointed. If you know he is that bad, instead of condemning him, ever thought of changing him? It ain't going to be easy, but someone has to do it!?

Before we reach for Hate, Remember The Titans!

Bye

It was rather sad today as well. Won't say much. But for some reason, there was a sense of sadness around all the teachers today. I wondered. What happened? To my horror. Miss Serene Leong. Has passed away. Though she has never taught me, however I have known her as a good teacher, a good person. Frankly I'm shocked, this is well, frankly the 1st death of someone I actually know personally. For some reason I don't know how to react. Hmmm. Well one thing I know. Instead of mouring over her death, I rather celebrate her life.

Why Why Why

It was a rather fine day. Still studying. Till something struck my mind as I was conversing with one of my friends. And this has to be addressed now! Seriously, frankly, Honestly. Ask yourself, everyone!! Especially O level people! I have come to realise that many if not all of us are studying like mad men! But have you ever stopped, and wondered. Why on Earth am I working my ass off so seriously!? Why am I studying so hard! For what reason! For what Purpose?? Are you studying cuz everybody is doing it? Are you studying just to be the best in the class or school? Or just cuz you wanna get a good job in the future?

Well your purpose has to motivate you! WHatever it is! Be driven by that purpose you are studying for! I know why I am studying so hard. I study to release my potential, to impact people, for God's Glory, For God's future purpose!! I simply don't see the point of being the smartest guy and most successful guy on Earth but have no form of happiness. Now with your purpose in your eyes, go full steam!!

Complaining is the language of victims. - Phil Pringle

Doing what I can

Sometimes, its really tough to get your way, to get people to simply listen and follow!! The past few days a certian friend of mine. He was heading in an extremely wrong direction in life! At this crucial moment of O levels! I won't really reveal much. But it seems that he simply won't listen?

I have spent almost every moment with him talking to him about this matter. Getting him to get back on track and not be so distracted. However it was all in vain. Then I thought "Ahhh why don't I just give up on him, after all its his life." Then I don't know what but I felt kinda bad for even thinking that. Then it came so clearly, perhaps he isn't you, and you can't get him to follow every single thing you say. It's gonna be a different approach from now.

Potential...Maximise it!!

Within us lies talents, gifts and abilities, within us lies destiny, purpose vision. Within us lies the ability to move mountains. However, are we using it? Many of us are oblivious to the fact that we can release that potential within us. We all have the Potential to get A's for many subjects, potential to usher a great Hotel 4 every week. yes it comes with it sacrifice. But definitely, something wirth sacrificing. These few days have been kinda hectic for many of us. I have totally no time to sit and slack (perhaps only when I'm blogging). Somehow I kinda like this feeling. however we gotta watch out. Remember to rest people!! Sleep at least 2 hours a day!! Next week!! I'm excited!! Why?? Mike Connel is coming!! I'm excited for the deliverance, the ushering, everything!! Woohoo!! The week after that?? It's going to be FOP!! WOW!! How fun can that be!! heh. it's all in us, all the potential is in us, to do the ultimate impossible!! 7 August is also church anniversary, but juz realised, wow, I'm exctly same age as CHC. Bday same day. Birth year also same! Wow!=).

Nike : Leave the old self

Was taking a break from my studies and watched 'lost' However an advertisement caught my eye. A sports advert from Nike (Don't ask me why these catch my eye, addidas with 'impossible is nothing' blew me away as well.). It started of rather interesting, a guy running a very long distance, he was shacked out, so he came to a stop saying to himself "ok lets rest". However the same person but at a different angle started saying "stop what stop". A rather long but interesting conversation between the physical man, and the man inside. They were debating whether they should continue running or not. Whether to push beyond limits and do the impossible or not. Then the man inside started to run. The physical man left behind, not following. Soon enough, the man inside began to run off leaving the physical man behind. I was so WOW!!!!!!!!!! It depicts a rather good story of the Old and New man. Leave your old man!If there's a chance you all have to catch it!

Leave your Old Self - NIKE

2 am

Its 1.15 in the morning!! Was thinkin of studying till like 3 am. Cause it seems like a long way to finish what I wan to complete for today, So i drank 1.5 litre worth of coke! Wow. But eh Realised I just finished everything! And I'm SOOO ENERGETIC!!! Going crazy..................................................................

Tick tock tick tock

The clock keeps running. So am I!! I'm gonna run! Like never before! Ok If memory serves me right. I have only 26 days left. That ain't long. Well at the rate I'm going. Only 2 things will happen. I rejoice and jump up and down! Or I break down before my exam even arrives. I planned everything out today. Everyday I'm gonna study 7-8 hours.(I hope). Believing that God will strengthen me every single step along the way! Wow! It's so scary eh. Perhaps I'm a little 'kua zang' or maybe I'm average? Frankly I don't know. But I learnt not to judge yourself by other's standards. But I just do my best! If you ask me. I'm scared, very scared, nervous, terrified, fearful, it so near. However despite all of these. I still believe and trust God! I'm going to be an overcomer.

"BUT GOD made a way when there is no other way!!" - Phil pringle

Breakthrough!!

This would perhaps be one of the greatest moments in my life. What else, but arise and build. At the same time. Nobody said it's going to be easy. Brace yourselves!! Last sunday was so challenged and impacted by the Word. The precious. I do remember long time ago, someone preached it, that same moment there was a prompting to give up one of my most precious possesions in my life. Yesterday. It happened again. This time. Double. This will really hurt! But! It's all worth it! Duty was also on. Did hotel 4. Felt I did better. However mistakes here and there. But i guess there's much more to improve to learn to grow from and most importantly to serve God much better!

Saturday I was rather inspired by a movie. Remember the Titans. It was a rather simple show. Or rather that's what I expected. It was so touching. A very good show. A must watch for everybody!!

I leave you with this phrase. "Before you reach for hatred, Remember the titans"

It is finally finished!

"I can't wait for my turn to Pass out", those were the exact same words I spoke of when I was in Sec 1. Young, small, naive. Now unsure if its horror or joy, its finally over, the book of NPCC for all sec 4's was finally closed yesterday during POP. The parade may not have been so grand as I expected it to be. However the most important thing is the heart I suppose. Looking back I remember all the good, bad, ugly, very ugly, and victorious times we had together! All the way back to the 1st ever swearing in ceremony in sec 1, to our very 1st ATC in sec 2, to NPCC day parade in sec 3, to Passing out in sec 4. I may have been a slacker. Frankly a big time slacker. However I think I'm going to kinda miss this. Not all the punishments, not the idiotic camps, but the people, Now that I think about it, Those people have made a difference to me, in my life, almost everything! Amazingly, NPCC has really changed me. What all the officers or ex-officers to us said yesterday really did kind of impact me, follow your passion, not the people. Perhaps the tiring journey has ended, but I have a feeling its the start of a new book, somethin bigger! =)

Last but not least. Spit Fire!! God Bless!!All the best! Rock on!

Wow busy busy heh

1 week since I blog. Miss me? =p. Well studying real hard for the Prelims in 30 days!! Well I think I must be freaking some people out. DOesn't matter, time is no longer on my side. However I do have the creator of time on my side.=) Lets see wed went for BS, fasted as well. Hmmm perhaps I'm getting used to it. Don't really know if thats good or bad, also had oral, won't speak a word about my oral examination!

Thursday kinda forgot what I did, but remember I was real shack that day, can't remember why. Friday went to church super early to study, before overnight PM. Studied like for 5 hours. Was real tired!! Then reported and ushered for the overnight PM. Did hotel 4, hmmm perhaps this was a below average duty, but nontheless still had fun! Presence of God was extremely strong that night!! Much stronger than the 1st overnight. However it was also much tiring physically!

Saturday had CG. There was a great breakthrough in the sprirtual atmosphere, you could feel it in the air, in the spirit man inside. Wow!! Thank God for that!!

Sunday!! Wow I was so happy!! well I got promoted! heh frankly I was kinda surprised by my cgl in the morning giving me a call and congratulating me. well at first I was ok, MM le. Hmmm ya lor. Didn't really think it was THAT big. However I was pleasently surprised by my beloved 10E. they popped out and gave me a card and a book. I was soo happy!

Monday Tuesday Wednesday all started to chiong le!! Now i'm sleeping at 2 everynight!! It feels real tiring! But!! NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!!

Would would make my day??

Call it a happy streak if you want. But I'm going crazy!! Crazy in making people happy!! I don't know why after hearing what Sis Beat say about her experience in Japan. It made me wanna do the same here!! Everywhere I go, I try my best to make someone's day!! I juz can't help it!! Smile!!!!!!

Smile!! It makes a difference

Many people who know me well. Would definitely know I'm someone who likes to smile. Even in the toughest times, I still smile! =). I was rather impacted by today's training group meeting with Sis Beatrice. She spoke about well recruitment. Won't speak much about that but what really impacted me was about her Japan trip. I quote all from her "We were in the train station, and yes it's really messy crowded and very very very busy!! Bustling with energy!! However we were contemplating whether to buy the 1 day ticket or the normal ticket, it may be cheaper?? not too sure. So we Requested help from the station's personel. Amazingly that person went out to us helped us calculate everything!! To see which is cheaper. We thanked him headed to the ticketing machine and amazingly that personel went up to us and helped us made sure we bought the right stuff!! Wow!! Not just that when I was so impressed with Disney Land's people!! Whatever happens, they smiled!! They went the extra mile to help people!! Be it say a good bye or say that hello or simply smile!!" Hearing all t=of these made me feel wow. We make a difference, not just by the things we say, but the things we do. Go the extra mile to make that someone's day, go the extra mile to please that stranger you may not even know. You'll never know, perhaps you would have impacted lives?? How do I know all these?? Cause I have been.

A moment like this...

A moment like this. Got this from a song then realized that perhaps its quite cool to post something about it. At times there are times, moments you just wished that it would last FOREVER Many moments you would hate to end. Sometimes you wait for a LIFETIME for a moment like this. Same principal, this could just be the time when breakthrough really comes, this could just be the time that we've waiting for. Arise and Build!! Not just that but many other things, times spent with frenz. Heh not just church people, but many frenz!! Imagine us not talking crap, sleeping in class, playing, having fun together anymore. Moments like these. Hmmm heh. I may be crazy but yeah. I seriously don't want it to end! Heh. Youth day just ended, makes me looks back and think, wow 4 years and this is my last youth day!!

Step Out!! From your comfort zone!!

Like what it says!! Step out!! Was rather fascinating today. Went to meet pastor Audrey for our Arise and Build which is coming up. Waited for 3 hours!! Wa!! Was much longer than I expected. Went with my bro adrian and loong. After everything, my bro offered to send me home!! (Seems kinda Auto eh) At first I was kinda shocked cause I never asked! So on the way home we talked. Realised talking to him makes me feel happy! Then he offered to buy me supper!! Wow!! Than I was really shocked! Came home made me feel happy by eating with me! So my bro was really good to me!! For some reason. So after supper, like 11?? He asked to help in his CG gifts. At this point I was Sooooooo sleepy and tired. seriously just wanted to sleep. Then I thought. Wa seh he did so much for me. Hmmm...return the favour!! So it's a whole lotta stepping out of the comfort zone!! heh simple story eh. =)

Nobody said it's going to be easy

Ever heard that phrase?? nobody said it's gonna be easy?? Heh. Well in a way, nobody said what we're doing now is gonna be easy. In fact its far from it. Whatever I'm or rather most of us are facing isn't that simple. Splitting your mind in so many parts. You feel you wanna blow up!
Nobody said it's easy to do study and get 6 points.
Nobody said it's easy to plan out Expo
Nobody said It's easy to Impact people.
Nobody said it's easy to keep fit.
Nobody said it's easy to keep cool in the face of sure failure.
Nobody said it's easy to believe and day despite doubts i continue.
Nobody said all of these are easy at all.
But heh. If it's so easy, where's the fun in that! If it's so easy, there ain't not kick.

49 days

Ok cutting the long story short. We all just found out today that we only got 7 weeks to our prelims, frankly we're freaked. Very much freaked!! We all thought it was 100+ days away. Heh so so so wrong. Time to pull up my socks, open up books and HELLO LATE NIGHTS!! I miss those times. Heh.

Petrol Man

Well been a while. Heh. So well these few days have been rather smooth sailing for me, studying hard! Today was kinda interesting. Went to church a little early cuz I was following my Bro. Wore an out of the blue shirt. A yellow shirt. Hmmm?? Well my 1st impression was. Ok not bad, but seems a little wierd, can't put my finger on it though. So went to church. And oh my goodness!! I then realised that the colour code of my shirt. Exactly matches the one in Shell petrol station!! Everybody was like, uncle full tank. Oh man!! I'll never wear that again. This is what people call "Fashion Disaster" heh. Celebrated Sis Shirley's birthday. Thought everything we did was real cool!! Surprised her big time. Heh i guess this was all the result of great planning!! Btw. Heh anybody sec 3 and under needs tuiton?? don't mind giving!!! $5 a lesson!!! Serious!! I need money!!

Hilarious!!!

I so happened to chance upon Sis Jing's blog this morning, and noticed a few links. Jan?? Guess it's Janice. Wow it really is. Then realised they all link to many many section leaders and team ics. All of their blogs are totally hilarious!! WAHAHA!!! I have never seen this side of out section leaders. They even have a 5566? heh. Funny eh. Even noticed Sis Beat. My goodness. =) Well i guess we're all humans eh. Well finally we kinda completed our project!! Just need to prepare for our presentation other than that. It is finished!! Today was supposed to wake up at 8. However apparently woke up at 8.30. While school starts at 8.30. Meaning I gotta rush. So kinda had no morale to chiong. Decided to head back to sleep!! But amazed I woke up at 10. Expected to wake up at 12! This is my last day in this room, my bro's room. As much as i miss him, I have a feeling I'll miss his room even more.Like what our friendly Yoda Says "Sleep you must get, or looking glam you will not", guess i'm heading back to sleep!! Nitez!!

In spite of doubt!!

What is faith!! It means a whole lotta things, heh. Well what started off as a good phrase from Phil Pringle, eventually became a whole new revelation which really spurred me on these past few days. Heh let me explain. Fear is doubting and not doing it. However Faith is doubting but in spite of doubt you still do it!! Thats what its all about!! When you're faced with the worst possible scenerio, are you still going to hang on and believe that God can pull you through?? Thats faith!! When you really believe God for a 6 pointer O level score but you seem to be getting 30 over now, you seriously face a huge doubt!! but continueing on is Faith!! =)

Interestin post

Wahaha!! Just read this post, you won't believe it, its from Sis Jing, was quite fascinated...heh so gonna quote a few parts.
"the way Yoda killed those clone guards way taller than him... height isn't everything, i console myself".
yoda's got more brains than you can imagine under those wrinkles.my favorite yoda quote comes from the Empire Strikes Back, where he was teaching luke the way of the force..."Do or do not, there is no try" - Yoda...
And when luke fails in lifting his battleship out of the marsh and yoda suceeds, luke says:"I can't believe it!" yoda replies:"that is why you fail...
"hmmm... words of wisdom from a fictional character- if we only try, no wonder we don't succeed. we have to (nike) "Just do it!"
Well i found it a little hilarious to see all this on her blog. heh!! and it all has some moral to it...maybe not the height one...heh!

back to reality

Well holidays have flew by, thats it, my last week of the holidays. Yesterday was father's day. Both my mum and brother ain't around so guess it's just me and my pap. Frankly it was the wierdest father's day ever, but at the same time, the best. Maybe because it was the most well quality one. It was real wierd. But I kinda liked it.=). Well today I kinda snapped myself back to the impending truth, its 100 days to prelims. It's comin. Real near. Getting freaked by it, but i guess while there's no stress i better start learning to enjoy studying. Yesterday had service as well. Was kinda impacted by the sermon. Looks like the view of money is totally new for me. I'm simply amazed and awed by it. At the same time, took Hotel 4. Hmmm, I guess, well, There's a whole lot to learn!! =). I guess well I'm sparing all the other minor events heh. So lazy to type all in!! Wahaha!! Now we're finishing up our Expo project. Finally next time i'll let all of u check it out!! Btw...If somehow my bro reads this. You're room, laptop and everything else is wonderful!! WAHAHAHAHA!!! HAd a fashion disaster yesterday. I had too many clothes to choose from had to call up 1 of my fashion consultants to ask. heh. TAts it folks!! Cya around!!

It's been a while!

Blogging ain't too consistent nowadays, kinda busy nowadays trying to squeeze whatever time into my books. It maybe futile effort but well it's worth a try? heh. Well I have no idea where to start. Hmmm ok from Sunday?? Lets take a trip back to the past!

It's a great day today!! Great day to serve God!! Well thats getting a little old let's try something different. Do you think you look good today?? Yes?? let's try something even more different. Do you think I look good today?? Haha!! That was how i started serving. Was supposed to give allocation so well tried something different.=p.Early morning!! YAWNZ!!! It was so tiring!! Arise from bed Lord Lionel!! heh! Saturday was an awesome day. Went for svc and support. And rejoice everyone!! Quee Leong went down!! Heh!! Though he may not be able to come but the seed has been planted! Sunday reached at forgot what time for meeting with Sis Jing. Wow kinda like how she runs things! Did traffic with Jason. I kinda like working with him. Chen Huat also. I have no idea why. Can flow with them?? heh!

Next was Monday. Camp time!! I got quite excited. Well i was utterly disappointed. What we did the whole camp. Hmmm. Sit and talk and do NOTHING!!! AHHH!! It was the most slack camp however the most boring one as well!! Well we were able to have fun during Fantasy Island. A game where we dirty all the campers. With what?? Mud mixed with kiwi mixed with flour mixed with leaves mixed with chilli sause and many more. It stinks it feels horrible and its disgusting!! Had to leave the enxt morning cause had something on. So happened also was able to go shopping on tuesday!! Haha. Had to shop for a father's day gift. And found it!! Not bad. Had no money but went into every other shop to just try clothes!! WAHAHA!!

Wednesday is flag day!! Wa Seh!! It was fun but also kinda boring!! Starting we so wanted to sell flags but eventually lose steam. Then went to cine ate breakfast, wanted to catch a movie but in the end aiya...nvm ba!!

Well a besides the point blog. My bro and mum are away in Israel. Hope they have real fun and enjoy!! While I'm at home enjoying as the king of the house!! Woohoo!! I've been spending the past few days in my brother's room as well!! SHiok!!

Well was quite impacted by these few lines. In all of your life, you make choices.The choices you make today determine the future you live tomorrow. Choices you make are generally split into Life and Death. Choose Life!! You will make choices which determine not just your destiny but others around you as well. Are you going to choose death and live in sin or choose life and live in righteousness?? Are you going to choose death and not create revival, not stand in the gap or choose life and do something for the people who are dying one by one by one to sin. It is all your choice. To believe to step out and make that choice of life even when everything is opposing that choice!! Make a choice to choose life!

Can one man make that difference??

This may sound awfully similar to my brother's preaching challenge but well I read through Bill Wilson's book and thought this was real good. Its long but please do take time to read!

This story is picked up in the bible Numbers 16. When all of Israel didn't like what God gave them, complaining, they were rebeling against not just Moses but God himself.At this point God sent a plague through out all of israel.A wave of death was in the air and into the crowd. The people started dying, 14700 people died! Understand this, there is an urgency when so many people are dying to DO SOMETHING!!! You don't have to but you choose to!

But can one man make a difference? Do you honestly think or believe in your gut that one man can make a difference in this thing we call christianity? We all say one man can make a difference, it's nice christian talk, proclaiming that in Bible School is great. But do you really believe it? Think about it, can you change this country? Can you change this marketplace as a student??

Back to numbers 16, the people are dying!! Moses turned to Aaron and said "Go do Something!" The instruction was to do something because they were faced with such a situation. And what do you do when people are falling over dead, one by one. Notice that Aaron was close enough to be affected by this, that demanded a response. The instruction was to run to the alter to do something! The urgency is screaming! It demands action! Aaron then grabbed a censer which is like a cup, ran to the alter scoop some fire ran to the middle of the crowd. However at this point Aaron didn't know what he was doing, he just doing something. And in the bible it says that where he stood the dying stopped.

This says it all. Aaron was standing IN THE GAP between the living and the dead. Where he stood the dying stopped! Can one man make that difference?? Aaron made the difference! But what did he do?? He ran to the alter caught the fire and plunged into the crowd. Aaron and the fire was all that stood between the living and the dead! ONE MAN made that move, that individual became a catalyst for all that followed, they made a difference.

In this relevant world, most imprtantly its about building relationships, don't just knock on every door, but make a difference in thier lives. We have to be the ones making the difference! Like Aaron do something which makes a difference!! Catch that fire!! From God!! Plunge into that crowd and make that difference!! After that, others will follow doing the same as you!Everyday people regular workers no hotshots or any of that sort, just faithful people who really care! Some say I can't do it!! Its too tough!! Aaron was 100 years old when he ran to tha alter! Yes you can can do it, you just don't want to! A man giving food to an orphan, that man made a difference in theat orphans life!

Can one man make that difference?? YEAH!!! Its all said, just remember there are people out there dying falling away to the Prince of this World! There are people dying!!! And it takes one man!! One you, One me to make a difference to those people!

Indeed Extraodinary

Words cannot describe what many of us have went throught the past 3 days, awesome spectacular, these words just don't cut it. WHat happened?? Something Extraodinary, a time where people all emerge to see and experience what they have never experienced before! Well from preperation till the thing itself. It was all awesome! The prayer meetings, the pumping up, the encouragements, Wow!! Let me get to the details!

1st day! Wow!! We recieved news that i'm gonna do Alpha 2!! Kinda surprised and oh my goodness supposed to wake up at 545 to reach at 715! But i didn't care really wanted to check it out! Went there actually nothing much for alpha 2, no whiteboard so helped put with traffic, it was really exciting!! Ran about here and there, then prsise and worship was spectacular! It's been so long since I experienced somethin so great! However the clutch time was during the Sermon when Pst preached on the schools, campuses. Felt a great burden for Maris Stella!! AHHH!!! Next session was talent time! WOOHOO!! Although not as good as last year i felt. But this year had many more out of the blue performances! The trio which was a combination of the chinese Er Hu, Indian Drums and western guitar. Wow! Next was the 3rd session, too bad but ya was sent up to do overflow! Never mind!! I'll serve with all my heart! The whole overflow was full in 5 mins?? heh fast man! Then could enjoy praise and worship. And wow!! once again! the presence of God was awesome!!Then headed to the children church to sit cuz i had to prepare for alter call there. The thing which really impacted me this whole conf. Indeed was this msg. It really made everything so clear!! Especially for ministry wise. I'm so so happy!! And thank God!!!

Now its the 2nd day!! Was so very very tired!! only caught what 4 hours of sleep?? And was supposed to do stage 2!!! AHHH!!! Quickly rushed down and settled everything. Not gonna say much cuz well save space =p. Next was my brother's preaching challenge! It was great!! I have never felt so proud of my brother before!! Next was session 3. Was also great I felt!! Awesome! Once again!! REVIVAL!!!

LAst but not least!! The third day!! I did traffic today. It was an awesome time though i couldn't really catch the message, the alter call was immensely full of God's presence! Wow!! The end was really the best!! I kinda miss emerge now. ALl the days the Hols Spirit really poured down his presence upon all of us in the whole church! I have never felt so ministered in such a long time! After Phil Pringle this was the best! Thank God for such an awesome encounter!

Beyond

This indeed has been a little stretching of abilities. Extending of capacity. Times of miracles. Saturday was supposedly a rather normal day. That was what I thought. Till I realized, it was immensely tiring! Though I was hindered by a sprained ankly I went on for CG as well as support duty. That week we all met up for lunch or most of us. Good time for fellowship, never had this for such a long time. Went down for support, was a little late cause rushed down and also cause of the leg. Came and realised that there were 4 huge boxes of recycling to do. It seemed almost impossible to complete. Not only that there were so little ushers! We made do with what we had till I realised we had 9 inserts. Sis Caiyun came and wow realised we needed to paste stickers for 4000 emerge cards and communion was also taking place. It was rather tiring to realise that there was that much to do. normally we would have completed everything at 9?? but then, at 9.30 we only did 1800 bulletins. It was that slow so Sis caiyun asked a favour from sect 9 and thus we did only 3000, didn't even complete. However through these tough times. Through these times of hardships Lives are impacted. I seriously do hope whatever form of encouragement and impact got through to the ushers!

Today was awesome did Alpha 2 for the 1st time. Fun try Fun experience won't speak about it much, However!! Reuben Morgan was awesome, for some reason was much better than expected!! He went up and WOW!! Message was great, Conversionist!! And yes like any other CD went to buy Reuben Moragans CD, and it is awesome!! Great!! A must Buy!!

Another thing was that I was looking through You the leader and was really moved by it. A few phrases

"We may see the facts as they actually are, we subscribe to the truth of the Word and make that assume precedence so we live in the victory of Christ!"

"Revelation is spiritual insight given by the Holy Spirit. It is knowing. This knowing is what Faith Is. Knowing things which are not revealed by natural senses. Acting on revelation is what faith is."
"God didn’t have one of you. He wanted one of you. So he Made one of you.
The key is the revelation of who God is and who we are, this changes our destiny."

Ouch!! My fingers!!

Simple short post. My fingers hurt!!! Why!? cause well i've been playing the guitar like once every hour the past 3 days, since adrian was around, he taught me some stuff. Now able to play 'thank you' and 'Jesus Reigns" or most of it!!=)

Sneak Peak

4 days gone. Well Hopefully they were all well spent. After the chinese O's I guess there's not much break. Now its the start of round 2!! Gotta start studying again! These few days had A maths lessons and tuition. Integration. Amazingly caught on to it a little faster than expected. Thank God!! Well 2 chapters to go and thats it for A maths!!

Yesterday night had a little sneak peak on my bro preaching!! And wow man!! Get ready to be impacted like never before!! I was like wow!! Jia You!! mY brother!! =) K back to studies!! Btw ankle still hurts!! But thank God its much better!!

Sleepy day

Man!! I'm sleepy!! I have no idea. Since yesterday night. Wow its really tiring! Yesterday went to catch Star Wars 3 again. Once again!! Its really an awesome show!! Everybody has to watch it. Then after that Adrian and Loong came over to my place to sleep-over, we had a little prayer meeting, was split into 2 parts and wow!! The 2nd part was awesome!! God's presence simply flowed like water through the whole room, through the heart and soul. Today went to school at 7!! Managed to catch only 4 hours of sleep, maybe that explains why I was like drop dead tired. Then after Came home much easier than expected cause Goh TK didn't come so yeah! Sleeping a little later tonight, gotta study!!

Wo De Jiao!!!

Well, Sorry didn't update since O levels. And yes!! Its over!!! The Chinese paper is over!! That day we practically went wild!! Tables and chairs flew!! Screams and shouts!! I'm just so happy so very happy that the IT IS FINISHED!!! After all the hard work and effort. Now its all up to God. Immediately after O levels I HAD TO GO OUT!!! So went out with Loong, managed to get myself 2 shirts and he got himself a pair of jeans. All were good buys. But I think the highlight was most definitely the Star Wars 3!! Man It is an awesome spectacular show!! ALL MUZ CATCH IT!! I'm serious. I was seriously in a very big WOW!! Went home at abt 10+, Went to watch "the new police story" on DVD, not bad, kinda nice!

Sadly, nest day still have to go back for school got lessons. So went back to school, lessons were alright, but during recess went to play basketball, and yes, the worst happened!! I sprained my ankle!! OUCH!!! That really hurt. After so long of not playing and suddenly injuring myself. Hiaz, it seems perhaps basketball truly aint my cup of tea. So was literally limping, Limped to the chem lab 3 storeys high!! and wow!! Had a mock prac test!! I did it limping to get all of the chemicals, It was terrible!!

Soon after went home changed and went out again to cut my hair, Too bad kelvin is not around, so just went to jantzen and requested to anybody to cut for me, Satisfied with the style but not overjoyed. At this moment I was like forcing myelf to walk properly. A grave mistake!! Went to the library to read up on first aid. Check up on any immediate way to get this prob out of my way!! After that went to meet sijia at harbour front, then after that went to meet loong at outram. Went to creative to get a pair of head phones, and loong to change his mp3. Ahhh!!! The pain was getting unbearable!! So well started praying, take the pain away God!!! Eventually it subsided for a while. Thank God!!

Went to church and realised. "oh my goodness, how am i gonna serve?? I'll definitely not be a traffic ic or anything like that, most prob door usher." So went in and as expected was doing traffic, Ziliang hotel 4. All ready to do door usher. Hmmm for some reason felt kinda useless, Felt that i could have helped out more. Then during general briefing for traffic. The unexpected happened. Took 456 side for traffic!! I had no idea how am I supposed to do it!! QN requested that I not move!! AT ALL!!! AHHH!! A new usher timothy was also attached to me. Guide him and stuff. At the end of the whole service I think he enjoyed himself. That really made my day!!

Traffic as a bai ka. Considering I had 15 ushers for my side. It seemed kinda easy. for some reason when i served no pain??=) Thank God for that. At this moment I kinda got used to one thing. Seeing the big picture by not doing anything!! Sending out people like never before!! Soon I realised my bro was taking 123 side. Kinda cool. The choong's both taking a side. =). After everything really learnt to flow, impact the ushers and not do things myself!! I enjoyed it. And the prayer meeting was awesome!! It was like wow!! The presence was extremely strong!! And wow!! It felt like this was just a preview. Can't wait for emerge!!

Today woke up and OUCH!!! my ankle really really hurt. COuldn't go to school today and eventually went to the chinese doctor. Those people are mean!! And yes!! they wrapped up my leg, and it stinks!! EEEEEEEEE!!!

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!
