and i forgot the verse!!!! ah see.. this is what happens when u put things off for too long. sheesh lah wad a waste.


a couple of nights ago, i was dreaming those random dreams again. this time, i dreamt that pastor jeff was at my house. in my room to be exact. it was around 3.30am.(i figured the timing has something to do with the world cup.) i kinda ask him why he was here, and i cant really recall what he said to me, but what he actually said was that he had a word from God to share with me. and then he gave me a verse...

Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember,
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo,
The dim of the soft lights,
The scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers and
The time on the clock when we realized
It's so late and the walk that we shared together.

The street was wet and the gate was locked
So I jumped it and let you in and you stood at the door
With your hands on my waist and you kissed me,
But you meant it and I knew that you meant it,
That you meant it, that you meant it,
And I knew, that you meant it, that you meant it.


Hands Down. Taken of the first song i heard from Dashboard Confessional, back when i was in pri 5 or 6, at Melbourne, Australia. if im not wrong i was at Hard Rock Cafe with my family and there were playing this over the radio there. Very fond and warm memories this song attaches! haha wadeva. dont you just miss the good old days.

Hey guys! do u know that school starts NEXT WEEK not next next week! like realise how much time u have left. i honestly thought that next week was a holiday, and the holidays lasted till the end of the month. and when my friends from other schs were like saying they had sch and all i thought sajc was being real nice and gave us an extra week of holidays. im gonna start studying tml. and i really really mean what i say. haha.

oh i recall something now. on sat after service, as i was queueing up with kaiwen to get food at starhub center. this aunty at the stall asked me whether our church service just ended, and are there anymore service. so i told her the details. then she said that she used to go to bible study classes in the past. so i guess i kinda asked real bluntly, "what about now?" then she was silent for a moment, then said she still do sometimes, as in go for services. so i asked her which church she belonged too. she said she was a roman catholic attending a church at great world city.

and she went in mandarin, "i know u Christians dont accept mother marry.." like wah. i was really keen on starting a theological debate over queueing for me food. then she kept telling us that as teenagers we needa be humble. yeah definitely. and told us too that we shant read the bible as it us, but apply it to our lives too.

well u see people out there! even the adults having that evangelistic spirit! what about you?


lol.

been real physically tired for the past few days. loads of stuff happening all so quickly. i lost two distant relatives over the past week, my friend lost his relative due to a road accident, had word for life classes, gideon's gone to rural thailand for missions, restructuring in the cg has just been confirmed, went for soccer trials, and the sch work pressure is really starting to pile on me.

decided not to go to malacca to attend the funeral and because of this issue it kinda sparked off more argument at home. sigh. i really aint got two more days to spare.

and i suddenly realised that i really do miss camp, and in a way, miss school. at least life was structured and had a routine then.

went over to clement's house just now. it's been such a long time since i last saw him lah. jon tay, jun liang, rayson, luke, kaiwen were there too. watched soccer had pizza and talked for a while.

and my phone is officially busted. had sugarcane juice and laksa gravy all over it after kaiwen spilled the sugarcane juice accidently. sheesh. so i kinda lost all the contacts whom are saved in the phone instead of the simcard. sorry guys, u gotta give me your contacts again. oh! and anyone with a spare phone.. PLEASE BE KIND AND PASS IT TO ME!! thanks.

okay i shall blog bout encounter camp before it all fades away from my memory.

Day 1:
had a real long 3hrs tying 4000 water bombs with the other game masters, and carried them out to the field and sorted them out. and then the church came down to the track from Prince George Park for some telematch. after a good long morning and afternoon in sun, everyone was erm.. wet! haha.

eh i realised i can hardly remember what happened. though i know i enjoyed the teachings and praise and worship.

OH! there's this sajc brother, kenneth who joined us, he's this sister's brother from northeast(whom i forgot her name).


Day 2:
i had to miss the praise and worship before the teaching to set up the cluedo games thingy, setting up and drawing shirley's and suzhen's death scene, and then went to pick zhixian up and entered the hall, to realise that my file was somewhere out of my reach again. sheesh.

we had more teachings and praise and worship, and sort of planned for the night games, but apparently, the altarcall was delayed and stuff so the games was canceled. but that night was a real divine night. Eelee's display of her gift of tongues was truely amazing. those who were there u know what i mean. u just need to hear it, and u know it definitely has to be from God. actually i believe this is the first time for many of us hearing the spiritual gifting of tongues being displayed, and interpreted. as in its not the same as the sign of tongues from Holy Spirit baptism. ay it was divine lah it truely was. i asked the leaders to pray for me to strengthen my gift of faith and prune and develop the seed of leadership in me. oh yeah, the leaders had this anointing oil which they used. God's presence is so real lah, what more can i say.

Day 3:
this time we played the games in the afternoon. i would say it's real tiring and boring lah. haha. but at least the game masters had waterguns and all to shoot people with.

then we had Bring It On Concert to prepare for! wah i had this annoying sore throat the whole day till like the moment i stepped on stage lah. God's healing touch man, and the power of prayer. i must say that the whole cg really put in alot of effort and time into the event and am i glad to announce that AM Static came in first!! yay we won. haha. okay lah. oh let me explain how i came up with that name. basically it's a merger of two bands, AM Radio and FM Static. haha so yeah here u have it. i guess everyone certainly felt that redemption deserved to win. yeah they were good lah, just that they choose a boring song.

oh and i thought the all girls band was good too, anagram is that it. just that i guess everyone was kinda nervous. ay oh well.

and then there was IGNITE concert. by then my knees were really killing me lah, but despite the shaky sound system, there was no stopping the flooding of the Holy Spirit. God's presence is so so so so, and i cant emphasise enough, so evident. it was more of an anthem to God. oh then we had this breakthrough 1000 badge given to us. and i cant believe Dennis actually opened a champagne bottle all over us from upstage. ALL over my clothes and slippers and the FLOOR!! thank goodness i aint in housekeeping duty this time round. then Ps Shirley came and poured champagne on us. HAHA and apparently i stood at the wrong place. but its real nice to see the whole church celebrating in faith for what is to come from Christ. nah we didnt drink champagne lah, we just had sparkling juice.

so we were supposed to do something that night since it was the last night. but i guess we were ALL too tired and drained, so i went back to my room and talked to kaiwen.

it's quite a pity that Chris cant join us this time round. and its a real pity camp has to end so soon.

i have to start studying, but i realised that this whole week suddenly became packed with activities.

went for soccer trials today. cabbed down so i wont be late, $7.50 okay. and ran like 6km timed. ay its so tiring lah. and i acquired this inner wound again while playing streetsoccer barefooted. as in u can see the flood beneath your skin on the sole of my right foot. ay.

then tuesday and wednesday's Word For Life day. Temasek Seminar is on wednesday too, so is soccer trials part two. then on thursday there's soccer cg, and on friday there's soccer match trials. and on sat there's church. and on sunday its another week left till block tests.

I WANT TO STUDY NOW!!!

aint no more time guys.

off to encounter church camp from 7th june till 10th june.

games master.
usher.
bring it on.

A.M. Static!!




Holy Spirit rain down.

the children at the iconnect childcare center inside first toa payoh primary school totally drained me! but they were nice kids. our class were there for our service learning project. taught them how to do their art and craft, played games with them, told stories with them. haha u did be so surprised when u ask for volunteers and half the kids run up to you. a vast majority were like primary 1-3, and a couple of upper primary students. i guess its more or less a similar experience to the other time when i went with gideon for the talk and interact session with the high risk kids, just that this time they we so much noisier and haha yeah i got to admit, some of them are just plain cute in their childlikeness.

and the class girls were going crazy over this pretty boy who's like just pri 1 or 2 i suppose. haha keep taking pictures and talking to him.

and then there was this bunch of boys who kept pulling my tie and messing my hair!! ah madness. they pleaded with me to give them my sajc tie. ay no way dude.

lead games for them. we did the chicken and egg game thing, the watermelon game and the sophie did the animal game. wah the kids are one noisy bunch esp when it comes to games, shouted and shouted at them gently, yes gently. i duno how u shout gently but i didnt really wanna be so fierce, cause i aint wanna see any crying kids man. but the teachers there were real fierce and i would say over scold the kids at times lah.

see u kids again in august!

oh well i kinda totally killed my throat after the commity envolvement project.

and then i made the trip to kaiwen's house to get the amplifier and the two electric guitars for the Bring It On audition later. i guess we were all so sleepy in the bus and kaiwen kinda had flu. like ahh!! okay so we slept and the rest finally came after we were stonning at isle cafe, and matthias kind told me he had a sore throat. AHH!! God bless our throats.

okay so we went up to america room and started connecting the stuff. its like we had to bring one amplifier, one mic, two electric guitars, guitar tuner, guitar straps. haha oh well. and so the auditions started. we did 'Year 3000' by Busted, our style. haha im so glad that the sound came out well, and we played practically flawless except for the clash missing one quater of a beat. haha. well the skit was kinda messy lah, more practicing on that needed. it's so nerve wrecking okay. its like how come auditions itself has to many people watching..!

and lo and behold.. we got in!! haha yeah we passed the Bring It On auditions. which means we would be performing for church camp!! haha awesomeness. i think the whole CG really bonded together through this man. ay ay ay, let's see what happens.

oh well. long and eventful day.
