This one also very valuable...

This was taken when Sun is having her concert on the left of where we took this photo... We practically ran across the back of the whole hall, after Pst Khoo to have this photo taken... The 'Attributes' ppl asked us to take with all the Sun posters at the back... Nice background...

Really very proud of Pst Abraham Khoo... Very nice and humble man. Even treated us Kong Ba Bao before we came back... Hee....

My most prized photo...

I've been looking through the photos taken using my camera... Think the most prized one is this one...
Me with Sun and susan... Quite well taken also.... Think is a security guy took one... Thanks brother!!! Hee... :o)

The story of this Mickey Mouse...

Yeah... Finally... My brave brothers braved the front, using skills they picked up during their army days, they got this for me!!! Ken taking the lead, he conquered the 1st 2 rounds with his M-16... Then followed by Isaac and then Yuanxing... Ken became their advisor, giving them tips on how to aim to be a better marksman... And the result of this, I got their prize... Hee.... So who won at the end of the day? The Mickey Mouse!!! He got a free ride back to Singapore on Jetstarasia!!! Hahahaha... Yeah... We all had fun!!! See the brave brothers in action below...

I'm back!!!

Yeah!!! I'm back in Singapore... Went for service and cg yesterday... Then went to the doc then makan lunner then came home and koonz til 1030 today!!! Hahaha....

During p & w in service... I kept crying... Cos I was really thankful that God brought me home safely... Although my legs were wobbly and feel like jelly... I told myself I gotta to brace myself and give God all the praise and adoration... God's love just overwhelmed me and I couldnt stop crying...

Just wanna thank God for being with me through the whole mission trip and all my dearest friends for praying for me!!! Love u lots!

Will write again abt the mickey mouse I got, thanks to my brothers who shot it down for me... Heee.... :o)

So blessed!!!

Guess wat? My parents just blessed me with more cash!!! So total blessings for the trip? S$900!!! Wow!!!

Like wat Shaun says... If I had not stepped out in faith to do God's work, I would nvr have seen God moving in this way in my life!!!

Praise the Lord!!!

Thanks Shaun n Bruce....

Thanks for sowing into our lives again!!! Especially during this time when Lee foundations running down fast with all the renovations and furniture... Really, really touched by u!

Yan was asking me yesterday how much blessing I've received for this trip... I counted... It was 700!!! All from last sun til this sun... If u divide, it's like almost an hundred everyday!!! God is really my provider... I can say nothing except this trip is really wat He wants me to do...

Am packing my luggage now... And it's just so exiciting... Time really flies... I remember the 1st time God told me to go on this trip... I was like, God I will go... But God, You really really got to provide. And now, at hindsight... I really cant tell u how thankful I am towards Him... He really provided! And abundantly above all that I can ask or imagine!

So just wanna thank all the ppl who've blessed our trip and we'll do our utmost to touch the lives of the taiwanese! Await my testimonies... ...

TAIPEI, HERE I COME!!!

My sat....

Today went to quite a few places, was all sweaty and hot by the time I reached home at 9+...

In the morn, I woke up and keyed in my previous entry... Then went to eat tim sum buffet with Ken and his parents at Arena, upper jurong road, opp OCS there... The food very nice and reasonably priced... Ate til we were so so so full that we didnt eat anything else for the day!!!

Then met up with shaun and bruce at imm... Went with them to shop for their furniture... Then at furniture mall... They bought 2 pieces of furniture at the end of the day at a bargain price... The dining table and the carpet below it...

Then Ken and I went to Bugis to shop and i bought a pair of new slippers... Dun look at me like that... I need them... And it costs only 16 la... Hee... Then Ken had to go for the POC training and I went off back... To Jurong... To shop... Hahaha....

Went NTUC, then the shops nearby... Then took bus back to my market... Went to check out the exchange rate... For NT, today was 19.865... Heard from Ken that the rates at chinatown is the highest... So think we'll go change tml... Ya... then went to buy some dried cuttlefish sheets for Ken's mom.... Sound so funny... Hmmm, those kind usually in thin stripes but i bought those uncut type, one big pc one...

Then I remembered I forgot to buy vege... Haiz... Called hm and asked my mom where still gt sell vege at this hr... Hahahaha.... So went to get it... and went home aft that... Hee... Tml preparing breakfast for ken... Hope it'll turn out well.... Dunno why, cant sleep... Haiz... Jialat... 5 more hours then I need to wake up liao...

God grants His beloved sleep... I need it now... Think I getting very excited abt the trip... Hahaha... God give me peace... Hahahaha....

Windows of heaven are opened!!!

I'm so excited... Financial blessings just keep coming in like wow! It feels like the windows of heaven just opened and I'm being blessed almost everyday... Favour everywhere I go...

Just last Sun, I received a cheque from Sis Jav... And on Fri, I received an sms from Ken's mom... With all these blessings, it seems like this trip is totally paid for! I cant express how thankful I am to God... Indeed, as we serve His kingdom purpose, all these things are added to us.

On top of that, I just got my promotion on 1st Jul... That will bring in a couple of hundreds more at the end of the month... In addition, I should be getting my bonus soon too... Wow!!!

Ken also has been blessed with 2 additional tuition deals on top of the blessings he received from Sis and his mom and Shen & Yun... We were just counting how much the total blessings were... And guess wat? It is more than wat we'll be spending for the whole trip.

I remember when we just signed up for the trip... It was really by faith... I didnt have enough in my bank and I was really saving up for it... Everyday I would plead with God... God you want me to go, I'm willing but God you really got to provide... Knowing that He is a faithful God... We decided to trust God... I was thinking, even if I have to take a loan from my parents, I have to go this trip... Cos God spoke to me to go. And now, looking back... I can only say: God is faithful and He's my provider!

At my work place, I found favour too... On the week before I leave, I was supposed to jiao dai all the matters, settle everything b4 I leave... But I managed to get 2.5 days of leave!! -- that's like working half the wk only... Most imptly, I managed to get fri off and attended Yun's grad! I mean it's like fri is the last day of the wk, it's the day to close everything... But i found favour... My friend volunteered to do it for me! It's really volunteered... I didnt even ask her lo... God is great...

Then in nursery, I got my helper to stand in for me... No worries, she's vey capable!!! Hee... And my 2nd helper will be ard too...

In my family... I guess I got to just trust God to protect my family... Since God can provide for me... I have no doubts that He can protect my family while I'm out in the missions serving Him... Gos will give my dad quick recovery!!! AMEN!!! Yeah. Keep praying also k?

Only other thing is CG... God I pray that you can increase everyone's capacity. Holy Spirit, be with them to guide them in everything they do. I pray for stronger love in the cg, let everyone look out for one another's needs. Thank you Lord for growing this CG and keeping everyone safe and healthy. Amen! :o)

Ken was just talking to me the other day... He asked me...
Is the CG supportive of us going to the missions?

Wat do u think? Ask urself 'Do you love the ppl Jesus died for? The ppl who you may never meet? Can we believe that the CG will be alright and growing while we're away?'

I guess we got to increase our faith in God and in our members...

Attending to my dad?

My dad... My dad went for an operation on Mon... Some of you may already know this... He could not lift his left hand due to an injury in his left shoulder... So he went for an op on mon... I'm not sure what the doctors did... But heard it's those kind where u insert camera in to do the op one... The op went smoothly... He was supposed to be discharged on Wed, but on tues, the doc says he can go hm to rest liao... Yep yep...

So on mon nite when I went... It was after visitation hours liao... Reached abt 9pm... Met my mom at the bus stop... She went hm 1st cos she workin in the early morn the next day. So I went into his ward and he was sleeping liao... Not wanting to wake him up, I just sat on the chair beside him. I laid my hands on his bad and prayed silently... For peace, for a good nite's rest, for quick recovery and for no pain... Then he stirred and woke... Talked to me for a while. He said he was alright, I didnt had to come down... Then he showed me that the bed was stained cos of his blood... He lost quite a bit of blood... Kept reassuring me that he was alright, just a little giddy... I just told him to go back to sleep and I'll be going back soon...

On Tues, I went to visit him after I completed my work for the day and so took time off to go... When I reached at 2+, I was quite surprised to see him sitting there, dressed in civilian. He told me he was ready to go home, the doctor had given him 44 days of hospitalisation leave... He was waiting for the medicine to come... Waited since 1pm... Ken rushed down to see him b4 we left... Bought him chicken of essence... I went back with my dad in a cab... Ken went off elsewhere to settle his stuff... My sis was home liao... Shortly after my mom came back... So she took care of him...

Today, I took leave also... Stayed home to attend to my dad... Just in case he needs anything. His sister, my gu gu came to visit him... So they chatting now... The op lasted 4 hours... And so on... Hahaha... I go listen liao....

For the past few days...

In the past few days... Lots of things have happened... We packed up nursery on Sun to move back to Hall 8... Then met up a few ppl at airport for lunch and to fellowship... Went shopping and waited for Ken to go back... Went to work on mon, then dinner with Ken then BS with na and Zhixing then went hospital to visit my dad. Tue went work, took half day then visited my dad and brought him home, went for a run and talked to a few members... Lots of things just went through my head during this period of time.

Quite a lot of ppl were involved in the packing... As a result, there were not so much work to be done... Cos everything was done up in a relatively short time. So some ppl just stood around waiting(on-lookers), some ppl went to see if other rooms need help (I'm going to make myself useful), some ppl just volunteered to help in ways they find would help me speed up the process (Whatever it takes to help the IC)... At the end of the day, we decided... Too many cooks spoil the broth... Maybe we can rotate the IC? Let the helpers do the job? Hahaha....

Then went shopping... Spent 60+... Heh... Bought lots of socks!!! Hahaha... 8 pairs... Opps... Sale ma... :p And lots of other things too...

Work was ok, quite free actually... :p Cos they havent figured out what's outstanding... I just wait lo... Hahaha... Cos the things they talk abt is high level one, I cant understand yet... So I wait...

Then went for dinner, ate dou hua.. Finally I got to eat it.... After almost a week of craving for it... Almost went mad waiting to eat it.... Heheee....

Then BS... Yeah... BK @ Raffles City... I felt I was shouting to them... The ppl ard so bu zhi dong, talk so loudly... Hahaha... I need to find another place man... But it was good, felt so encouraged by them... Cos they said Yes, read the verses loudly and looked up at me when I shared... I hope they leant something... :)

Then on the way back went hospital to visit my dad... He underwent an op... I'll share more of this in the next entry... This one getting a bit long...

Then called up a few ppl to chat and on MSN also... I really think that if you wanna do greater things for God, you got to remain humble. In everything that you do, give it ur best shot. Be detailed, be urgent... Remain teachable... You have your reasons for not doing things which others may not know but sometimes you got to reflect... Why would someone make such a coment? Instead of defending yourself straight away... If after reflecting, you think the comment is not justified, you can always talk to the person again... :)

Some ppl are quick to receive advice, some are not... But who is more teachable? Time will tell...

Nike says 'Just do it', I say 'I did it!'

Hahaha.... I finally did it... After a few days... Hmmmm... Ok, ok... After a few months of procrastination... I ran today!!! I wasnt as good liao... So sad... Ran only abt 1.5km then started to walk... Haiz... Last time I could run at least 2 km b4 i really needed to stop...

But at least I got started... So proud of myself... Hahaha... Was talking to yuanxing just now... Then wanted to jio him to run... But he not free... He asked when I going... I told him when the sun not so hot... At 1830, he saw me on MSN... He asked... Still havent go? Haiz.... Bei fa xian le... Then ken called... You wanna meet? Then I was like 'hmmm.... should i?' Then I decided I got to run... I turned him down and told him I going to run... These were pushing me to go...

Finally, I took out my socks, wore them and did some warm up and wore my shoes... Opened the door and down I went... Across the road, back to the running track. And started my run... Did 30 sit-ups on the way also... Yeah! I did it... Alone!!! Nobody was encouraging me to go on... But the motivation came from inside...

During the run, I was reminded of verses to keep going... The joy of the Lord is my strength. God will not give me something that I cannot overcome. This is not too difficult, God is beside me. God is running with me now. God leads me beside still waters... (I was running beside a canal...) And the thoughts of God just filled my own mind... Think it was really a run where it's between me and God only... I didnt bring anything out, no distractions... A time totally devoted to God...

Think I should go running more... Wat abt you? Time to get those dusty sports shoes out and RUN!!!

Next wk this time

Wow!!! Time flies!!! Next wk this time, I'll be in taipei looking for the KDM Hotel Taipei... It's so exciting!!! I'm going to be flying off soon! Yeah...

Praise the LORD!!!

Thank God that my friend came today... After praying for half a yr... God answers prayers!!! Dun gif up... Your friend might come next wk!!! Hold fast and believe... :)
