Global day of Prayer - Weather

ah ma: "it's going to rain, there are dark red clouds surrounding the stadium."

yes indeed, they are only surrounding the stadium. Despite the lightnings and thunders and scary dark red clouds surrounding the stadium and making everyone thinks that it's going to rain... we had a clear view of the moon above, and not a single raindrop fell on us this evening in the outdoor national stadium. Amazing grace of God, blessed us with a cooling, no-rain weather.

ah ma: "i felt something wet on my hand, is it raindrop?"

me: "sorry, it's my saliva"

muahahaha....

Global day of Prayer

I thought I was going to fall asleep during the Global day of Prayer event. well, after 2 nights of camp and no rest during sunday afternoon, it isn't that hard to imagine I guess.

But God's grace is always enough. Not only I didn't fall asleep during the event, I had a good time repenting & reflecting and praying with my brothers in Christ. Praying together really builds us up, individually and together-ly. it helps us to know each other more too. cause' there are things that we won't usually chat about, but will only hear them in prayers.=)

It was a dehydrating evening, but God has filled me up more than before. Thank God for the gift of prayers, it's so simple yet so powerful.=)

getting back on track to my prayer life.

back from PMS camp! for those startled, PMS refers to Pre-Military Support. The wonderful sisters from Glowing organised this camp to prepare the guys going into army soon, and also those not going into army soon.

Although it was short, but it's been a wonderful time gathering with the rest for around 2 days time. It gave me more insight of army, and yes, more spiritually mentally prepared for what I'm going to experience. Kinda look forward to enlistment already,haha.

Zifeng was telling me either I might enlist either into Leopard or Ninja company. So either a more normal army training life in Leopard, or throwing Shurikens during range training in Ninja?!?

regardless which company has more tough training, God will be seeing me through my army life and giving me the strength & wisdom I need to face whatever that's coming.=)

I'm God's Solja

14th June

I forgot to update here regarding my enlistment,haha. I'm enlisting on 14th June! Haha I skipped my last try to retake napha and decided to just go in earlier.

So sorry to those who had expectations of me to pass napha and go in later. And sorry to my dear friends & Billy whose birthdays are within 1 or 2 weeks after my enlistment. I will try get something nice for you,haha.

But I really do think I should just move on to the next stage of life and not bumming around.=) Well, there are many other factors to my decision too. But I'm not gonna say it here, so chat with me more instead! (the cries of a loner,haha)

I pray that the following 2weeks before army will be as meaningful as every other days, that I can continue to do what I can and bless others around=). Kinda look forward to army, may God bless!=)

UNSW closing down!

University of New South Wales in Singapore is closing down next month!! Many students must have been disappointed by that decision. Here's the article's link.

It was one of my choices for further study after army. Now I will needa put my mind to other institutes. But actually I'm currently deciding whether I should go into audio or 3D...

I think I'm still not used to cracking my head upon something so far away. So till then, I will just enjoy as much as I can for now and leave the worries of tomorrow for tomorrow itself.=)

Home - Michael Buble

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home

Maybe surrounded by A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not come along with me
That this is not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come and gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by a million people I
Still feel alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home

Let me go home
It will all be all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home

I've decided!

After 2 days of consideration, I've decided to retake napha test again on 23rd May and defer my enlistment date. Though I see nothing bad about going in earlier, but I've thought of something better to do in the extra one month.

I want to work after church retreat, and have an amount of money saved in my account before I go into army. Though haggai institute got no jobs for me now, but the supervisor told me they will need help in june. Having an amount saved in there will be more useful if needed, than the 400plus/mth from army.

And I want to celebrate my friends' and brother Billy's birthdays. Although these are enough reasons to get myself into army earlier and save money. But well, what's worth more?=)

I gotta bring my training to a more intense level to ensure passing. It's still running I'm not confident of. haa...

william tan, how do you always run and bath?

I fail my napha again!!!

"God, am I supposed to go in one month earlier as there is works that you've prepared for me to do in there?"

I keep thinking about this question after I failed my napha again. This time was due to my arms not being straight while doing my chin-ups. So I had done only 4 properly, and many more that is not counted. Haha..

I wonder whether God has greater plans for me in the extra one month camp or should I just do my best and try again next week? According to the bible, I should try my best and give it another try.=)

I've got pretty lots of reason to pass i think. Have got vocal training coming up, a new dance session starting soon, hope to be there to sing with Sing choir on 30th june.

Follow by lots of birthdays coming up: Billy, Pamela, Jia Wei, Ka Tai, Bonnie and bla bla bla....Maybe I should go in army earlier to save money huh?hahahaha

ohh and we know a new friend there! Jeremy, who just graduated from studying music. He's mostly busy on saturdays teaching piano, so can't get him to come fellowship too. Generally, he's a very pleasant guy. Do pray for him.=)

Though I failed my napha and it's quite demoralising, but it's still a blessed day at Toa Payoh stadium. And failing my napha gets me to go again and meet up with our new friend!=D God is so wonderful huh?haha

sorry guys, long post again,haha

So She Dances

A waltz when she walks in the room
She blows back the hair from her face
She turns to the window to sway in the moonlight
Even her shadow has grace

A waltz for the girl out of reach
She lifts her hands up to the sky
She moves with the music
The song is her lover
The melody's making her cry

So she dances
In and out of the crowd like a glance
This romance is
From afar calling me silently

A waltz for the chance I should take
But how will I know where to start?
She's spinning between constellations and dreams
Her rhythm is my beating heart

So she dances
In and out of the crowd like a glance
This romance is
From afar calling me silently

I can't keep on watching forever
I give up this view just to tell her

When I close my eyes I can see
The spotlights are bright on you and me
We've got the floor
And you're in my arms
How could I ask for more?

So she dances
In and out of the crowd like a glance
This romance is
From afar calling me silently

I can't keep on watching forever
And I'm givin' up this view just to tell her

Goodbye doggies soon?

I have a feeling that we will be sending the 2 cute doggies back to their owner soon. As my family don't really have the time and energy to provide the kinda love and care that they needed. Most of us are always out of home actually. Lack of time, lack of energy, lack of knowledge. I guess it would be soon huh? hmm...

Schnauzer!

The Miniature Schnauzer is reportedly a result of crosses between the Standard Schnauzer, the Affenpinscher and perhaps the Poodle. He is originally a German breed, named after the German word for muzzle, "Schnauze". The Miniature Schnauzer excels at killing rats, but today is mostly a popular and esteemed companion. It's height grows to less than 15 inches tall at the shoulder .

Playful, happy and alert. Likes children. Demands time and companionship from his owner. Can be feisty with other dogs, putting on a show of superiority without necessarily intending to fight. This behavior can be dangerous for the Miniature Schnauzer, who will challenge even large dogs, sometimes bringing more trouble on himself than he really wanted.

And guess what. We've got double the trouble if that ever happens!

We just got them this morning! And we haven't decide on their names yet! Whoever reading this, help us out! They're sisters by the way,haha. Little details about them can be seen in billy's blog.=)
