To be a testimony of Christ and set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity (1 Tim. 4:12). Do whatever is true, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, whatever is excellent and praiseworthy to God (Phili 4:8).

*.* Blabbers *.*
*.* Blabbers *.*
I'm so happy this weekend. I went shopping with the shopping queen on Friday and it was like crazy! Bugis is a nice, cheap place to shop. It's like $10 per piece of anything and I just spent like $1_0. Oh my, don't remind how much I spent but I can only say the clothes are cheap and nice. (Oh I think I just repeated it). I know Sharon Jie wanted so badly to go shopping with us, but due to her walking inconveniences, she can't join us. Anyway, I bought her a belt hopefully that will cheer her a little. Oh yes, how can I ever forget those two guys who helped us carry ALL our stuffs? Thanks to Ben and Daryl (more of Ben, he even helped me carry my handbag!) I felt like one rich tai tai. -Dreaming-
I went to pick Kenneth after my shopping and I wanted to buy a pail for car wash. Been searching for it since Thursday night. Maybe it was too late so can't find any. But I saw many along the shops. Daryl told me to put $5 and write a note saying, 'It's not money issue, it's desperate of not finding any.' Back to Friday night and I was still hunting for a pail and Kenneth told me to go to my house downstairs and buy. Anyway, we were betting if there is at my house downstairs if not he will have to buy me one. To cut the long story short, I've got a new pail just for car wash! -Cheapskate-
I did my first car wash just now. It was quite fun. I think it makes me feel more like having the sense of belonging now. I'm looking forward to next car wash. Please remind me not to be lazy.
I've got a new pet dog at home. It's a mini Shitzu. Cute and small dog. It's my sister's dog. She's quite like a child. So adorable.
It's getting too early. Last week of church in this church. =)

*.* Updates! *.*
*.* Updates! *.*
I had a crazy week the week before. Cruise ship was horrible that I felt so sea-sick after the ride. Imagine me sleeping at 9pm. That's VERY very early. So unlike me!
I had a busy week too, travelling from north to west, west to east, west to north, north to east. I'm having fun with my car, hope I can get it service so I can speed! Opps.. I mean, drive a little faster. Honestly, I can't stand driving along TPE at only 80km/hr. It freaked me out when I realized all the cars zoomed by me so fast and I was half awake. Too slow. I need to drive faster to stay awake.
Anyway, Good Friday was really good. The weather in the morning was good and Sentosa tanning was great! Except for the sudden heavy downpour in the afternoon was bad. Sent Kenneth back to camp from Tomsum's place. I think his platoon people are quite friendly, one or two of them are quite good looking. This Kenneth sabo me and calls me his d r _ _ _ r. Wait till when he is not in uniform. -_-''' I went back home to pick Daryl then back to Tomsum place for a good time of movie marathon (eh.. only watched 2 movies and we couldn't take it. Simply too tired).
Saturday went to City Harvest, my first time there. Not bad. Quite like it. But I don't think I'll stay there. Too big a church for me. Lost in there.
Met my crazy poly classmates for dinner at Suntec Sizzler. I had some fun. Had to rush off to celebrate Gillian's birthday as I was in charged of getting the cake. The surprised was quite a.. failure. Never mind will work on it again on whoever birthday coming next. I went to Timbre after that to meet my poly friends again.
Oh ya, something juicy. I thought it was quite funny. I was stopped by a salesman selling health care products. He showed me this nail care spa which I thought it was pretty good so I decided to purchase it. Then he showed me another product which is facial spa and I thought it was good too but bit pricey. Guess what?! He gave me an offer by forgoing his commission so I ended up buying the facial spa and he gave me the nail care spa for free! We had little chat and he asked me for my number, giving me the reason that I am cute. -blush- (I think I'm going to offend people reading this, anyway it's about having high self-esteem too. But who cares, it's my blog anyway) The guy is from Israel and he's quite good looking. He will call me I guess.
Alright confession time. I slept through service this morning. I was so tired and I had no idea that the whole row slept too. Hehe. We connected in our la la land I guess.
One more week before I go. I know people in church love me especially those who are mummies.
One very very highly important I have to say here. Very important. Whatever is on top doesn't really matter but this I hope whoever reading this will know with full understanding.
My leaving has got nothing to do with other people. I wanted to leave for my own accord. Please don't go round telling some people that they have certain influences in my life to make me leave. I find it so ridiculous when I heard things that are totally untrue. Don't put words into people's mouth. I don't understand why till today some people are just trying to make things difficult. Honestly, if you have not been part of my life (in one way or another of connection), don't give any of your 2 cents worth of comments. It's not helping. I just want to leave happily.

*.* Coincidence? I doubt so.. *.*
*.* Coincidence? I doubt so.. *.*
I'm really happy today because.. I've finally got my car!
It's a small Swift but I'm satisfied enough for it to bring me around conveniently. I will be glad to send people around. =)
Not forgetting to thank my parents (Oh erm, I don't think they will ever know my blog existed). Thank you Papa and Mama..

Right: Andrew Heng
This photo was taken in 2005 when a group of enthusiastic, energetic, crazy bunch of young people decided to conquer a mountain (Eh I wondered how the circulating of photos ended up to, because I only capture all the photos 3 years later?!). They were very good friends then. However, something happened somewhere, somehow, which I myself am not very sure what exactly happened too. They drifted apart.
BUT guess what!? They met some months ago at a driving centre and Kenneth called me just before his lesson started, telling me how surprised he was to see him there, taking the same course and realized they would be enlisted on the same day, same time, same place, same school.
On this faithful day, 13 March 2008, both got enlisted.
Just imagine this with me now: Both with a crew-cut head, wearing the same thing, doing the same thing, seeing each other everyday in the same school, same platoon. Hmmm, maybe they end up sleeping in the same bunk or be each other buddy!
That's what makes them friends (afterall) and maybe makes each other life in Army easier.
God is good, isn't He?

*.* Babble.. *.*
*.* Babble.. *.*
Well, been less busy this week. I've been reading many of my friends' blog to kill time, reading it from their very first entry to the most recent ones. I realised some of the entries were quite funny and they really showed some of our silly, immature and funny side when we were younger. Some were painful, sad experiences, while others were happy, joyful experiences. I'm glad to be part of these mixture of experiences. Goes to show how long our friendships have last.
I've also seen how God worked in our lives. Interesting. I think blog is quite a good tool to keep some of these memories. Things might be tough, but after walking through the fire, you will one day look back and smile. Thanking God for putting us through this fire so that we will be refine for His purpose. I've been through my darkest time, this is also to remind me that I should not go any deeper or darker than my last darkest time.
I've been asked a lot of questions lately. Please give me some time. I need to sort some stuffs out. I will let you know why and where I will be. Thanks to all who really care and are concern.
Yeah I should be able to collect my baby red car either Thurs evening or Fri. I'm quite excited about it actually after a long wait of.. 2 months. Finally get to drive my own car.
Alright, one more close friend going in to serve the nation. I was pretty emo about the whole thing because my best friend went back to Tekong too. Two less buddy to irritate and hang out with me, at least best friend will be out on Friday. I'm missing both of them already. Please take care and come back in one good piece. I'll be praying. =)

*.* God says 'Remember Me..' *.*
*.* God says 'Remember Me..' *.*
I was reminded of the song 'God Of My Forever'.
The first line wrote 'God of my youth I remember'.
I remember running a children’s' camp with a theme 'Remember Me' 3 years ago (Oh I like that tee, still wearing it even thought the colour faded off). We told the Boys that as we grow older, our focus in life will change. We may serve God fervently as we are still young, full of energy and still have time. Things might change as we grow older and may not have that amount of time or energy because our commitment changes, our focus changes, our life changes. Everything’s changing.
I’m beginning to see something like that in my life. I mean BEGINNING (I’m still young just that I’m stepping into adulthood and the social world, having to self-support now). I kind of finally understand why God wants us to remember Him when we are young now. I thank God I dedicated my teenage to Him. Though I made silly mistakes (that’s the period where many silly mistakes are made, so embarrassing!), God made me learnt many lessons. That’s the period I grew so much with Him and I guess is one important part of my life why I need to remember God.
I guess it’s really time to come back to God again, seeking the first love that I once had with Him. I guess I haven’t been doing things that are pleasing to God. I need to get right again with God. I don’t know how but I just need to.
A friend called last night asking me to reconsider my decision to stay and go over to Chinese side to help out. He said it will be out of his flesh to persuade me to stay but I told him I really have no conviction to stay anymore. It’s not as though I’m not coming back. If God wants me to come back I will. Don’t worry, I won’t go too far..

*.* Sweet twinkled feeling *.*
*.* Sweet twinkled feeling *.*
He suddenly came and squeezed my cheeks real hard and smiled. He leaned his little forehead against mine and gave me a peck on my nose, then turned my face right and left, leaving a sweet wet kiss on each cheek and one last one on my nose again.
He was so sweet. I've never seen him doing it to anyone of my friends. I was taken aback but he left a very sweet twinkled feeling in my heart. I know why I love this boy so much now. He's such a dear.
Dear boy, I really pray you get well soon. I love to see the bubbly and happy sight of you.

*.* The Beginning of a New Chapter *.*
*.* The Beginning of a New Chapter *.*
Dear all,
I believe this may not be any shocking news to you as some of you might have guessed it already. I guess my chapter with YMM is coming to an end and a new chapter begins. I'm moving on to a new church. I thank God for the opportunities that I had which enabled me to grow and serve here.
Boys’ Brigade was a time for me to learn how to love children. It is a special ministry that God gave me to be able to serve. Taking up leadership and being an officer was not easy. Like what Spiderman says “Great power comes with great responsibility”. This quote is very true. Sometimes the children really get onto my (our) nerves, driving all of us crazy. Yet, they have their innocent, cute and sweet side of them that really melt your heart. They are God’s precious gift.
Youth ministry: It’s the hardest ministry to work in. I have to admit it. It’s about meeting their needs; it’s about guiding them, watching over them, listening to them, investing time, money and effort in them and most of all love them for who they are. I couldn’t do all of the above but I know I’ve tried my very best.
My dear girls (Eileen, E-von, E-lin, E-van, Yvonne, Yu Shan, Amanda, Shi Ping, Yue Mind), I’m sorry that I left cell without telling you the reason and I really hope you can forgive me. It was a tough decision to make at that time. I thank God for each one of you because all of you have a very special place in my heart. Your different personalities, characters, smiles and laughter are hard to forget. I love you and I will be missing you. Thank you for sharing in cell because I’ve learnt a lot from you one way or another. Thank you for this friendship that we shared.
To all youths,
You have a special place in the leaders’ heart. They are trying their best to do something about it. Please, give them time and a chance to walk with you and speak right into your life.
Worship ministry was one of the greatest breakthroughs that I’ve seen in my life so far. I know that God sees the desire in my heart and the passion that I have, because I’ve seen how God anointed my fingers, my hands, my legs to serve with all I have. Thank God for the opportunity that He gave and the encouragement that I got from the people around me. It makes serving easier even at the most difficult times. Thank God for the gifts and talents that He gave me and reminding me not to misuse it.
Dear worship team,
I had great joy working with all of you. Thank you for the opportunities and encouragements all this while. The rapport that we built over the years was great. Thank you for all the hard work having to serve week after week. May God grant you the strength as you serve Him and His people. I enjoy worshipping God with you as a team. Thank you for guiding me and teaching me news things.
There are a few special people whom I really want to thank God for because these people had invested in my life in one way or another: Tommy, Sharon, Gillian, Kenneth, Aunty Cheng Suan, Aunty Nancy, Stacy, Simon. I cannot express my gratitude towards you except saying a big thank you. Thank you for being there at my toughest moment. Thank you for loving me for who I am. Thank you for blessing me in every single way. Thank you for spending time and effort getting to know me and encouraging me. A Big thank you to all.
Chinese service: I enjoy serving alongside with you. I had great fun in there. I really love many Chinese praise and worship songs because they really carry the flavor of the meaning of the song, sometimes better than English songs. This has also brought me to a greater height in my service because I know and understand that worship is not about what kind of instruments we use, how many instruments we have or how big the band is. Playing alone as a keyboardist was a challenge because it’s about bringing people into God’s presence with one instrument, representing a whole band. God is good and faithful because He sees the heart of His worshipper. It doesn’t matter whether it is one piece, two pieces or full band; it’s the readiness to worship God irregardless of the surroundings.
Dear Chinese worship team,
I really enjoy serving God with you. I guess I didn’t have the chance to build our rapport together. You are a group of fun and loving people. Thank you for your encouragement. The unity you have really encourages me that we still have hope. So long we stand together in Christ, everything that happened doesn’t really matter.
I guess I’ll take with me good memories, lessons learnt and friendships with me. I’ll miss you. God bless.
I had a very happy 21st birthday celebration. Once in a lifetime.
First of all, I thank God for my parents. Without them, I guess I won't be here today.
Next I want to thank God for people who had invested in my life. You are part of my growing up in my 5 years here in YMM and not forgetting the friendship and relationship that we have established.
To my special friends, I really want to thank God for you for making my day so special. I love the surprise! I wish Rachel and Emmie were there but I know I'm remembered even though they are far away. Thank you for your care, love and the special friendship. I love you!
To people whom I didn't invite, I'm sorry I couldn't invite so many people. I wished I could. I've received many blessings. I'm really thankful. And I want to thank you for your gifts. =)
I believe this may not be any shocking news to you as some of you might have guessed it already. I guess my chapter with YMM is coming to an end and a new chapter begins. I'm moving on to a new church. I thank God for the opportunities that I had which enabled me to grow and serve here.
Boys’ Brigade was a time for me to learn how to love children. It is a special ministry that God gave me to be able to serve. Taking up leadership and being an officer was not easy. Like what Spiderman says “Great power comes with great responsibility”. This quote is very true. Sometimes the children really get onto my (our) nerves, driving all of us crazy. Yet, they have their innocent, cute and sweet side of them that really melt your heart. They are God’s precious gift.
Youth ministry: It’s the hardest ministry to work in. I have to admit it. It’s about meeting their needs; it’s about guiding them, watching over them, listening to them, investing time, money and effort in them and most of all love them for who they are. I couldn’t do all of the above but I know I’ve tried my very best.
My dear girls (Eileen, E-von, E-lin, E-van, Yvonne, Yu Shan, Amanda, Shi Ping, Yue Mind), I’m sorry that I left cell without telling you the reason and I really hope you can forgive me. It was a tough decision to make at that time. I thank God for each one of you because all of you have a very special place in my heart. Your different personalities, characters, smiles and laughter are hard to forget. I love you and I will be missing you. Thank you for sharing in cell because I’ve learnt a lot from you one way or another. Thank you for this friendship that we shared.
To all youths,
You have a special place in the leaders’ heart. They are trying their best to do something about it. Please, give them time and a chance to walk with you and speak right into your life.
Worship ministry was one of the greatest breakthroughs that I’ve seen in my life so far. I know that God sees the desire in my heart and the passion that I have, because I’ve seen how God anointed my fingers, my hands, my legs to serve with all I have. Thank God for the opportunity that He gave and the encouragement that I got from the people around me. It makes serving easier even at the most difficult times. Thank God for the gifts and talents that He gave me and reminding me not to misuse it.
