just couldnt get up this morning for bio pratical. Concert aftermath. anyway, left during Miss Tan's lesson and she just had to make such a big din about it. reached Nexus right on time and had the breakthrough teaching by Pastor Shirley. well okay. i dont want to blog much coz kinda tired.

3 months ago we had like 12 people in our caregroup. back before ESS, back before July camp, back to the times before our mid-years. it was then that we set out our target for the JC group, and dared to ask God for great things, and the July camp was also a time of breakthrough for winning our schools over. we dared to ask God for our schools, we set wad was then an 'impossible' target of 25 by end July. Guess what?? God is ever faithful, we have 24 now. no time to start celebrating now, tml's the last day of July and there is still one more out there yeah.

lost my mp3 charger somewhere outside. sigh. now can only charge through com.. met up with Aaron and Calvin and went for second service, and watched how the 'magic show' kinda went erm... oh yeah, got to know this lower sec Zhonghua boy. ok, well im still quite surprised i met him. like through this sister who wasnt in our region and then i got to know him. got his contact number and gonna try to SOW him in school and hand him over to highschool side soon.

then after DMM Shaun kinda sang as i played the guitar. okay thats good news okay, coz he's the first person to ever sing as i play lah, so unplanned somemore. makes me proud lol. we were almost on the verge of going Street Evangelism. but Jon called it off since many of us were kinda exhausted. Let there be a breakthrough tomorrow.

Awesome man. i am so not gonna blog bout the whole day except for the SONICFEST 2005!! woah it was really really awesome. although the spiritual atmosphere and level wasnt as high as church camp, the everything else was like super lah. haha. Met Melcher at Dhoby Ghaut and kinda went a little early to Fort Canning Green. was kinda surprised to see many many of our Hope brothers and sisters there, which includes Freedy and Clarence and some other sisters who i duno their names. wah awesome lah.

went i reached the main stage it was Vertical Rush performing. can see everyone just sitting down and kinda waiting for it to be over. firstly, coz they were like doing some rap without giving us the lyrics and their drums were so loud, plus the blarring of the guitar, i could hardly hear the artist singing. okay, maybe he was shouting more than singing. secondly, it was Planet Shakers coming up next!!! haha. but their last two songs were impressive lah, Vertical Rush i mean.

i mean, when Planet Shakers came on stage, can see the whole entire crowd automatically standing up. haha. oh yeah, its like kinda downslope so hard to jump for many people. Thank God Melcher and i managed to make our way to the front, which had like half a metre of flat land. Awesome lah. first time seeing Planet Shakers live yeah. really praise God as one voice. with songs from Open Up The Gates, Running After You, Always and Forever, etc etc. how can it not be totally overwhelming?? people all over were all pumped up with the Holy Spirit lah.

Next up was none other than my old-time favourite... SONICFLOOd!! ahhh!! they did 3 new songs from their 2005 album entitled This Generation, of which i bought bout 1 month ago. haha. Thank God lah, know how to sing their songs, esp parts when they didnt have the lyrics.
They did many many awesome songs too lah, even Cry Holy, Here I Am To Worship, This Generation, God is Here, etc etc. i just cant explain wad its like lah, u got to be there yourselves. jump untill both legs kinda sore yeah. screamed and shouted untill i lost my voice. halfway through, Rick Heil(lead singer of SONICFLOOd) shared about his own life testimony. about how he contracted Crohn's disease, a painful intestinal disorder he’s lived with for years. and how God had healed him. “Normally, you have it for life,” Heil explains, “but I was in the hospital in March and one of the top surgeons went through all my intestines and said there was no disease to treat.” it was truely amazing lah. everyone, and i mean everyone, paid absolute attention.

then they had altar call, for both believers and non-believers, initiated by SONICFLOOd. they made us move back bout 10 steps to leave a gap in the front to get prayed for. i felt the Holy Spirit really urging me to go forward. there was so much to thank God for that i just didnt know where to start. anyway, responded to the altar call along with about 30 others. it was overwhelming lah. i cried during altar call. nothing much of an amusement now it seems. okay anyway after the whole concert went to the 'Life Tent' for prayer.

there this girl, no actually woman prayed for me. her name was Kim i think. then after she heard my prayer request(which i am not gonna tell you), she kinda prayed for me and all. okay after it was done talked a little. then i found out that she was churchless. so i kinda invited her over to Hope, and now that i think of it, i didnt tell her the time... then i was like still suffering the aftermath of concert blues, i said alot of wrong stuff lah. coz she asked me where is my church, then i was thinking i cant possibly get her to youth service, then it struck me that i didnt even know her age how to bring, so kinda insensitively i asked,"How old are you?" she abit stun lah. i asked," coz we have different talks and courses for different age groups.." actually i meant services lah. then she kinda told me her convertion story, about how she played traunt when she was 14 and met this street evangelist who told her she could be freed from her sins and guilt. she was like super guilty so wala, there u have it. wadeva lah wadeva. haha. okay fine lah, strolled around the place with Melcher. wasted, i should have brought my SONICFLOOd CD to get it auto-graphed. oh well. many stuff on sale, and some real cool shirts.

oh man. no voice to energy for Bio remedial at 8.30am in school tomorrow. gotta be at church by 11am. see how lah, thankfully my Bio teacher's a Christian too(yeah she is if u havent known already), so see how lah.

u all just gotta be there. But dont worry, if u are the type that dont go a Christian concert once a year will feel terribly guilty, and u just cant make it for SONICFEST.. then... go for Festival Of Praise!! coming soon in August, with Hillsong and Delirious coming down!!!! see ya all there.

MOCK PRELIMS FINALLY OVER!! okay, well that also means that the next paper would be the real prelims itself. okay ended early, so got back home. gonna head out to chiong tuition later. oh yeah, as i was walking out the bus, i saw this buddist monk. then i kinda walked pass him. okay so he smiled at me, okay fine lah i smile back. then he reached into his pocket and kept offering me two buddhist amulets, saying wad it would bless me in my studies. okay. in that moment i was like kept saying no lah, then after bout 4 times persisting me he gave up. okay then as i walked i suddenly felt a deep deep compassion to go share Christ with him. but then again, he was speaking in mandarin and erm, haha.

that really set the bar lah, kinda got my spiritual life on track. The world needs Jesus, amen?

okay anyway, still waiting and waiting for my lunch to somehow appear...

Last paper tomorrow. Geog paper today lol, dont talk bout it. End up doing wad global warming question. And mind you, i take human geog not full geog. lol. use all primary school science to answer. aiyah okay anyway Amaths paper 2 tomorrow.

had caregroup at 5.30pm. so had bout 4 hours to kill. went with Michael to Heartland Mall to get Wilson's birthday present. ended up buying some comic toy figures, hope he likes it lah. then after called Martin and he arrived with Clement. haha. then we kinda talked about 'keeping fit', just wanna play soccer lah. okay. so at first walk to street soccer court, then dont play lah walk to RC. but upon arrival realised that no key to open the RC, then kinda borrowed Martin's shirt he used to wrap the ice-cream in and went to 'keep fit'. haha. oh yeah. before we played we went to the restroom to change and all. then guess wad, coz in order to get to the Gents from the walkway needa walk pass the Ladies, then i think as i walked pass the 3 Peicai girls inside thought they saw their friend or something. okay lah nvm. then as Clement was peeing and i was changing, they actually looked, not peep, into the Gents, saw me and then went to so spastically switch off the lights. oh man how lame can people get nowadays. Clement was like peeing halfway lah and i was already bout to change. wah diao lah.

anyway, caregroup was fun lah. Ice-cream party. haha. played 'Polar-Bear'. okok.

2 more to 25!! 25 by end July.

okay before i go Amaths let me blog. just now went for my first shepherding session with my sheep. haha. cannot wake up arh, suppose to be 8.30am at amk mac, end up drag till 9.30am then reach. anyway, okay lah, quite easy lah. then yeah, he needa go off for tuition so waited with him at his bus-stop before taking a bus back.

okay kinda waited for 74 quite long, so i got a little, only a little, impatient. so i finally saw 74 come, then i thought it was going to the front of the busstop so i walked there. then end up stop behind another bus. so i got a little paranoid. then ya know at around 10.45am is all the old aunties and uncles marketing time. so there was this kinda old and frail old aunty infront of my lah, with white hair and small build. okay so i was saying i got a little impatient right, so since the bus stopped at the other end of the busstop i kinda tried to squeeze my way through to the bus, in doing so, i accidently and very honestly, only accidently, knee-ed the old aunty with my left knee in her sides near her butt area. wah. i think everyone stared at me coz the impact from my knee caused her to stumble 2 steps to her right, she almost fall lah. Thank God she didnt. piang leh, i was super sorry. but coz in that moment of chaos, i just signalled a sorry sign and went up the bus. goodness, i could sense her fury burning. eh seriously, she almost fell lah. very drastic. didnt know i could knee someone with walking strength to the extend that the person almost fell. okay, i am so terribly sorry okay. well anyway. i am sorry lah.

i am like a walking zombie man. cant take the workload. tml's social studies, just aint got the energy to read lah. sian sian. today Chemistry quite tough, okay, very tough. wad test for iodide ions.. i put 'drop solution on bread, if solution turns purplish-brown, iodide ions are present due to the presence of starch in the bread..' aiyah really got no mood to do the paper today. kinda skipped the whole organic chem question and finished so that i had 40 mins to sleep.

okay CG was fun. my sheeps first CG. haha. the games were very funny lah. then my sheep kinda displayed his awesome guitar skills and vocal range. wahaha. Gift of musician. anyway, went to mug at mac. then as i was leaving this Deyi girl sitting behind me accidently elbowed my butt. pain lah okay. i think she and her friends were like super controlling not to laugh lah. Rayson then told me one of them looked like a sister from our church. errrr.....

anyway. Sleep. night.

Its sapping my soul. Mock Prelims is utterly a energy and blood sapping plan lah. goodness i am like on the verge of collasping. everyday chiong one textbook, maddness man. yesterday went to tuition to chiong physics. not bad lah, haha. complete the whole textbook without electricity chapter in bout 5 hrs. but then was really tired. then had English paper 1 and physics mock prelims today. can lah, quite managable.

so yeah today went to chiong Chemistry. Cannot take it arh, its really too much to cover in a day. study at tuition untill i really couldnt take it. then Mr Tan told me to go upstairs and sleep. haha. like on this mattress duno used by who how many umpteen years ago, with pokemon bedsheets!! okay, but that was like a a pack of drugs to a drug addict. i slept for 2 hrs at tuition before Sumahdi came and woke me up. and somehow i accidently drooled only a little on the mattress. haha, then just fold it and throw back into the storeroom, recycle for next person.

cannot finish lah. sian.

oh boy. i am very over the moon lah. God is ever faithful, amen? Finally got a convert from Zhonghua Secondary today, and my first sheep. He is also offically the first person i brought to recieve Christ successfully. i mean, oh i cant help but scream. haha. yeah. bout time lah, revival in Zhonghua. really bout time.

after prayer meet yesterday had lunch with Martin and Benjamin from my class. Saw Ben at the food court so joined him. wanted to ask him out for today but he said he wanted to study so i dropped the idea. kinda depressed lah, all my contacts couldnt go coz of that series of mock prelims next week. sigh. i was really really depressed okay. then after dinner was waiting at that busstop to go to Paya Lebar mrt to proceed to tuition when he came into mind. He as in the convert today lah. haha i wont tell ya who just yet. then i rang him and THANK GOD, i managed to get him to come today, and pon his tuition for the BBQ. Amen man. haha. that really lifted me up in spirit. okay so went tuition, and nothing much happen except that i waited 45 mins for bus 14 to crawl to the tanah merah busstop and arrived at tuition really really late. oh yeah. Martin kinda passed me Shaun's vcd on the Passion of the Christ. watched it for the second time till 1.30am. i was overwhelmed.

went to school today kinda reluctantly at 8.50am for physics. was 20 mins late lah but then it didnt really matter coz when i entered Mrs Ngiam wasnt in class. my bag was like gonna explode coz i had two sets of clothes and a pair of shoes. okay blah blah blah. oh yeah, God blessed me with a B3 for my physics. haha. i totally couldnt study for it coz i think was serving God in some way or another. think was caregroup arh? cannot remember.. oh well. haha. Hallelujah. okok. Left for church after service with Michael. Julia and Monica sorta didnt go, well i guess they had their own reasons.. then Melcher wanted to go home to change clothes which caused him to be 15 mins late for service.

met up with my contact then went to Nexus. talking bout the service, haha, its awesome lah, u all gotta agree with me. i think its better then the Easter Service. haha went crazy during praise and they had this superb performance with dancing and all. then Pastor Jeff really hit the nail on the head. could tell he was spirit anoited, even as a believer u can sense the power of the evangelism sermon, on the 'parable of the lost son'. okay so after that it was worship. woah intense presence of the Holy Spirit i tell you. my legs grew very weak and all. okay so it was altar call, i responded and yeah, set my spiritual life back on track. then it was altar call for converts. okay well at first he didnt convert lah, so as i was speaking to him during that period of time after the first altar call for converts i duno how, but by God's grace that he managed to realise that this was it. God wanted him back. he responded!! wah i tell you my heart was leaping outta my throat. its the highest of highest joyfulness u can experience lah. haha. there were many many many many and so many converts today. there were more people at the front for the altar call then seated at the auditorium lah.

okok. then had BBQ afterwards. Steamed-food!! wahaha. very fun lah, and got seriously waterbombed by the opposition and even by my OWN TEAM!! haha. was glad that everyone enjoyed themselves and could see the new believers responding very well.

Friends, i tell you this so that u can see that God is faithful. God will never ignore your request but its always a yes, no or a not yet. can see everyone really working hard yeah. haha. keep the faith yeah and carry out wad God challenged us to do during the church camp!! the ultimate revival, the harvest is here!!

wah i so lazy to blog lah, simply no mood. CRAVE is coming!!! oh well okay..

yest was trying to study at AMK library with Robin and Lilei, ended up getting really annoyed but this book i saw which so utterly insulted the whole Charismatism churches. i mean, not that our church is a charismatism church lah, but still i feel that if youre from a traditional church then live with it!! wanna comment on other churches fine, but not till that extend it kinda gets the impression of insulting.. besides, the whole book was on how charismatism churches are a total flop and nothing about how traditional churches are not? Creating some kind of divide among fellow Christians.

anyway, mock prelims seem rather, no, too near to be true. Next week? guess its really a time waster again, coz no ones studying for it, but all chionging for prelims instead.

ok.

do you CRAVE!!?? haha. see ya there.

bought SONICFLOOd: this Generation CD. woah like finally.

firstly i wanna make it clear.. i so wasnt looking at myself in the mirror in class during chemistry period!! wah piang, make it seem as if i am some kinda metrosexual.. i basically just aimed the mirror in Paul's direction so as to irritate him.. haha. anyway, i am not that vain okay!

okay nothing much happen. rushed down to Rix's place for CG and caught up with Mr Yeo on the bus. haha. talked quite abit, oh yeah found out he attends Orchard Road Presbyterian church and he kinda asked me about mine. blah blah blah. okay went CG.

PLEASE DO KEEP IN MIND THAT..
