*.* If only I can choose *.*

If I can choose what I want to be in my life, I would choose to be a tree. Why a tree? That is because trees have no feelings. They won't feel hurt when you scold them, beat them, shout at them or even when you move them. I once watched a Korean show that this girl wants to be a tree. I truly understand why she wants to be a tree then.

Can you imagine not being hurt by your love 0nes even your parents and friends? Or people whom you love? Trees won't die so easily and even if they die, they won't feel any pain even though they are living thing. They won't fight back, they will just be your very good listening ear. They contribute in every where of our daily lives that they just won't go extinction.

I wouldn't want to choose my parents because every family has their own story to tell. I wouldn't want to choose which country I want to live in, because each country has different cultures, laws and regulations which I might not like. I wouldn't want to choose to be a girl or boy because either way I have to suffer.

I want to be like a tree so that I won't get hurt again and it's always not so painful than being a human.

*.* Things that matters.. *.*

Something that I long wanted to share from my heart but I didn't have time to do it.

A group of us sat down and realised that many times we can get so excited about late night supper and movies but when we come to serious stuff like really listening to God and go all out for God, are our hearts as excited and all so happy as like going for supper?

To be very honest, I'm not. Sometimes I rather go for late night supper and give that excuse that it's too late and I'm tired so I'll skip quiet time that night. Sometimes I'll just stick my eyes on the tv till late night and I'll give the same excuse to skip quiet time. I've never been as excited for late movies and supper than to meet God everyday, every night.

Someone came out with a suggestion that maybe we should make it a norm that it's cool to listen to God, it's more fun to know more about God. We are not alien when we are close to God. So, we started a devotion time on a Sunday morning at 6am. This program is called 'Saturday Sleep Early Operation'. It really forces me to sleep early to meet God at 6am.

I thought I'll never be able to listen to God voice. How does it really feels? How will it happen? Like thunder roars and lightning strikes? No, I realised it only when 7 of us came together and 4 of us had the same passage that we read yet we looked at it differently. IT WAS AMAZING. I've never thought God could make us laughed on a early Sunday morning.

What do we do every Sunday afternoon? I really don't know. My only wish was that Sunday could last a little bit longer so long that Monday won't come at all. I'll just laze around, go to some body's house. Always looking for something to happen, waiting for someone to give a good suggestion.

One day, a group of us just decided to go 156 and jam. This short jamming session caused us to be even more serious that we will really want to worship God more and more and go into free worship and really let God be God.

I want to share this particular session that happened yesterday because it not only touched my heart, but also one of my former cell member's heart.
We were singing 'Fight of Faith' and suddenly some memories came back when my former cell went through a lot of thick and thin, accusations, we teared together and laughed together.

He became very emotional and he started to cry. I was crying also because I thought of those moments we had and I think it was our turning point at that time that when we had to split into our different cells, I really struggled a little because I realised we came out loving each other more, knowing each other better, forgiving one another, giving and taking, care and concern for each other.

I realised that cell isn't just something that one group of people come together every week to laugh. talk about God then go for nice supper and that's it. It's when the whole cell can come as one to know God's purpose for that particular cell and grow together. I really hope the cell and withstand seasons of storm and calmness. I really want to see cells growing stronger emotionally and spiritually (Well, too much supper will cause growth physically). It's amazing how different people are being put together to do something together for God. It's hard and sometimes painful because we rub against each other. But the result is awesome.

We need to tell others about God, but we need to be serious with God too. How? Join us and you will know.

*.* PUNK PROJECT - SUCCESSFUL!! *.*

Time for some damage control.

Alright everyone, listen up!!
It was all a punk. All the posts from 16 July to 26 Aug was a punk (except for the car crashing experience it was real!!)

My punk gang managed to punk Sharon Jie ( I believe she will blog it so go see hers) with just a dinner and let me tell you, blogspot is a good prop to start with.

I don't have Mr. Right yet, I have not fallen in love with anyone.

I am still fulfilling my covenant with God.

I can proudly say: WELL DONE PUNK TEAM!! GREAT JOB..

Big thank you to Jia Hao for being such a wonderful 'boyfriend' that night to make it look so real. Thank you for your time too!

Big thank you to Gillian for coming up with this idea.

Thank you E-lin, E-van, E-liz, Xinying, Rachel, Daphne, Daryl, Nicky, Kenneth, Jerome, Benjamin (Did I miss anyone out from this punk?) for playing along. You people did a great job with your questioning!!

Oh, how could I ever forget her lovely husband for playing along by.. just being himself. Thanks kor for sounding us out all the time!!

*.* Happy? Sad? Thank God.. *.*

Life has been up and down for me lately.

Sometimes I just feel that happy times and moments can really stop there. I'm happy with him, really I do. I can only thank God for all that He's given me. I really want to learn to cherish him and the times we have together. Life can be really unpredictable and I really don't want to just take it for granted. I want to take things slowly and seriously too. It's going to be a lifetime commitment if things really work out.

Days at home are as good as work. It's quite crap. I don't quite like the way things work at home and in office. Office's mirco-managing is giving us a lot of uneasiness. Home's managing is as good as putting me in a jail. I'm not a soldier for goodness sake.

Whatever it is, I don't quite care. I'm kind of switched off. Unless and until do something to change things.

Ya, I cannot not remember to thank God still for these moments, because I know I have someone and more people whom I can turn to in my tough times where they are willing to listen to me till wee hours at 4.30am.
