imagine we start to have fashion police?! madness! arent u glad that we are not fine for the way we dress. hurhur. i dun think i can live with long sleeves in such weather. i salute my muslim friends.(:



this is what i call when u are pushed to ur limit, creativity flows as ur passion ignites. their designs are beautiful come on! we are too americanised, such talents shouldn't be hidden! it is such a pity they can't showcase their works.

now i truly unds what pj said abt women, no.1 men, no.2 dogs, no.3 women.
it is disgusting to see that we were previously treated as lower class citizens and den comfort women. call me a feminist? i say not, it is just respects to the other gender. after all, we were also created in God's image and we are suppose to be adam's companion/helper not just in sexual calls.

the life of elijah.
1 kings 18
after listening to this short 3o odd min sermon, i realised that this passage is once again on serving two masters. we cant have the best of both world and that if whichever ur god is real, go all out for it but if it wasn't you miss the entire point of living den GG. there is only one try in life.

thou shall serve no other master except the one true God. to be honest, it looks really foolish to be serving something that dun work out at the end. it is like trying to wear bright red and neon green together. it looks hilarious and totally hideous. so make ur life stylish and fashionable. wear the cloak that exemplifies the beauty of what Christ has intended in your life.

this week..i'm a little ambitious but yeah i kinda picked myself up and am back in action. I led cg on sat for clams and realised that i miss leading CG heaps! hurhur. seriously. i miss leading cg with cheng too. hurhur. those classic moments. oh well.. before i rant on. the main objective was to set the standard higher for my CLs and CLas so that the glory to glory thing will work. hurhur. and most importantly for them to take a little break and crack on their creativity to start thinking how they can use whatever resources they have to make cg a slice of heaven. it was a huge crowd cause cheng and her mini-fellowship leaders (mfls) joined us too. so yes i made use of cheng to help me play the guitar. hee.. tt's for CRASHING my meeting. anyways. it was really fun and essential. i taught them how to transit, how to flow, how to take note of certain things, how to identify the horseface, the pastor, the evangelist and the teacher.

i guess the main learning point was that cg is a mini version of service but with our resources and strength we could only do so much. for eg we cant play the guitar so well like service praise, so alternatively yet not compromising on the stand of praising God, we sing praise songs like 'i love Jesus, i love to be in your presence', since they are fellowship songs too, we kill two bird with one stone. While we continue mastering and practising the guitar to reach to another level, we cannot just forget about praise weekly just because we cant play church level songs. Similarly, for worship and sermon d. it is the most impt elements in cg becus only the CL could set the spiritual atmosphere.

so based on ur strengths and weaknesses, make ur strengths in the segment tt u can make it a home run while work on ur weakness and complement it with some other that would push it forward and make it work as well. CG is really impt because it is a day where everyone set aside to come down and meet God, fellowship and if u fail to prepare or just do the bare minimum, man, we are shortchanging the people and we are answerable to Jesus. i hate to think tt way but honestly, why waste my 2 hours just coming down to play games ? if i want to, i can substitute it for computer games. Hence, cg must work to a point in which there is no substitute for it. 2 hours per person, per week is really not a joke. pls plan well and execute well. jiayou CLAMS and MFLs. i noe it is all tiring and sometimes annoying but noe tt these weekly cg meets contribute to ur ppl's growth. bit by bit, step by step, u will see ppl responding not because of anything significant but because of ur commitment to God and his people. (: everyone of us went thru what u went thru so we understand and empathise but we want to help u make cg also a slice of heaven like how it is with us, during our reign. (: Rome is not built in a day so press on, trust God to make cg that slice of heaven.

a little late this week to blog abt the week but nevertheless am doing so.

right.. back from unstoppable. and yeah. swell under the weather. i finally am down with a flu. ha! this camp was back to the fundamentals and seriously, one that made me think thru why i gave my life to this church again. i wun say this is a teary camp like some others of how God convinced me thru visions and words but i say that this is one of the camp tt God thru the previous camps asked me if i was showing true love or purely revealing infatuation. it was a tough one indeed.

i mean. it is easy to say i love jesus, i love the church when u just begun ur walk with God. when everything is new, is fresh, is novel and most imptly, the things that u have been doing in ur life takes a 180 turn. but after 7 years (almost) not easy to still say i love jesus and i love the church the same love u had at first or even more than ur first. somemore after gg thru so much spiritual fatigue, misunderstandings with situations and people and some tt turned ugly while some turned out well.. i dunno abt all the others but for myself, i was really tired and sick of status quo. worst of all, not just status quo but not having anything done when feedback is given, the frustration the germans felt when their suggestions were not heard, they then had to bomb places to make their point. den they called it terrorism/rebellion and not revolution?! and yes i had to throw tantrums to make my point heard. and well.. not exactly the best way to make my point heard and yes had a lot of debris to clear.

but indeed, my rhema word was,
is it true love or infatuation?

muse, musing, mused.

that's the spiritual part, now for the fun & family part.
we celebrated our first anniversary, ebc. (:
i had a good laugh and a good look at how talented my unit is.
boy, so many aspiring musios, singers, dancers and actresses.
i cant wait to see them using these for the kingdom. (:
it will be a blast!

just waiting for the photos and videos to be up.
and yes God i will be faithful with the talents u place in my hands with. (:
and yes, now i could do the 5% that no one in my unit can do so we could all advance the kingdom tgt. in leaps and bounds!

i am hearten cus this entire anniversary was run by my cls.
all i had to do was to watch and judge and critic (hardly any).
and special thanks to all who played their 100% in this for making the less than an hour celebration a memorable one. i guess we are really 'hot and sexy' (quote yaoyao). hurhur.
oh yes.. and to ur promise to me, i promise that i play my part and u too so we would get there. it is really a long long long way to go.

to my beloved ebc,
we are just raw, untapped upon, untouched gems. we are diamonds in the making.
stay with us and we will see how God is gonna use u to a greater measure to play in this church.
the unstoppable momentum as we continue to prepare for the day when Jesus comes back, the day where everything turns beautiful.
keep pure, keep clean, keep growing in the Lord.
when we stop growing, we start dying.
let's not waste God's gift in us.
in line with what God convinced and convicted me. since we have the resources, invest it in somewhere it will last. build the church instead of the world. i mean yes they give u appreciation and recognition but it does not last. what for? might as well, pull ur resources and placed it in the right place. u dun have to be a finance person to noe that when u place ur investment at a secure fund, u sure reap boundiful. so likewise, this has no risk at all but high returns. reconsider where u want to invest ur giftings/talents. i have made my investment and would continue to make my investments. (:

wbu?
