Happy

2010-07-21T10:12:00.000-07:00

Happy is the man whose Lord is God! God, I am happy because I have you. Smile :)

Be Thankful

2010-07-21T10:06:00.000-07:00

Thank you for all the blessings that you have given to me. Let me not take it for granted that it will always be there. Let me treasure all that is surrounding me and be grateful for the little things in my life. Yes, time and tide waits for no man, but memories will stay in your mind. Make full use of what has been given to you and never regret it. It is definitely not easy to step out of the box and be different but all it takes is juz one step and you will be out! Life is short just do it but make sure it is the right decision. Don't do it just because it is popular cos at the end of the day, no one bothers... Be thankful, be grateful, be appreciative. Thank you Jesus...

wake up your idea!!

2010-07-02T08:59:00.001-07:00

Wake up your idea! Wat is the problem with the people of these generation??? Why are they so slack? Why are they so complacent? Why am i not hearing much from them? Why do they not bother about their children? Why are the address they give me wrong?? Why can't they update their paradox before they give to me? Why do they fizzle off so fast? Why do I give them so much opportunity? Why do I need to put myself through all these agony?? Why can't they have a stronger backbone? Why can't they rise up to the occassion? Why are they not concern about their children? Why are they tired so easily? Why can't they persist? Why can't they prioritize? What is their problem????? Do they want it or they don't want?

Just tell me lah!! I am a very straight forward person! If you want it, then go all the way for it! If you don't want because you have work, you need to study, you are tired, your parents don't allow, you come one week, MIA the other week... then tell me you don't want loh.... I really need people who love the children and are willing to go all out for them!! I cannot imagine one group changing leaders all the time... It really pain me to see the children having a leader who is just dong it for the sake of doing it.

I am giving you the opportunity because i believe you can do it and God will give you what you need when you seize the opportunity. It is never easy to walk this walk.... but I promise you, if you do your best, I am here to support you all the way.

Is my HEART ok???

2010-03-05T01:24:00.000-08:00

Just had discipleship with some of the men n my zone!! Wooo! Sounds exciting?? Definitely!! Talked to them about the leader's heart. Not my heart lah but the heart of a leader. It is really important for us to check our heart regularly like a doctor cos you never know what is happening to you when things get busy and you get numb by what is happening.

So 4 hearts to have! 1. A passionate heart for God and of course Jesus! 2. A loving heart for the people around you. 3. A forgiving heart for those who has hurt you and 4. A heart for the lost esp. for the children.

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks!! So watch your heart, not your mouth. :)

Exciting Life

2009-10-12T10:35:00.000-07:00

It is October... Hi and very soon.... November will come. Need to get things done and think and plan ahead. Musical, Christmas and 2010. Amazing how time flies. Life is just so exciting.... All the ups and downs, the high and low, the ebbs and rise.

Can my life not be exciting.... Can I be a normal human being? Can I just have a normal job? Can I? Can I.......

Well, I suppose I can't.... Others can, but I can't....Thank you God for an exciting life.

Know your Purpose

2009-07-15T21:40:00.000-07:00

I have been in City Harvest for 14 years and in Children's Church for 12 years. What happened to me for 2 years?? Ha! I didn't BS lah, I went NS.. Had cell group yesterday and we were all talking about the years that we have been in City Harvest! 1st: Michael, 15years, 2nd: ME!! 14 years and 3rd: Lena and Esther, 12 years. Time really flies and you can never catch it back.

However, it is just amazing how we stayed on and grow together with City Harvest. People came and people left. It has been an amazing 14 years journey. So where do i go from now?? Last week and yesterday was like a reminder, a wake up call for me.

I need to go back to my first love, the reason why I am here and why I am doing what I am doing. Is it for me to gain fame and recognition?? Is it that I have earn big bucks from what I am doing?? Yes, I am quite famous in Children's Church among the children. Haha. I also don't deny the fact that I do earn from what I am doing..... but it is the purpose and the commitments and the passion that I need to remember and continue in this journey. My journey has not ended and I am still moving on. However, am i moving on a straight line or on a progressive slope?? I believe I got to constantly ask myself this.

Be dissatisfied with where you are now. Be in the thinking and asking. Be in the knowing. Be willing to sacrifice and go the extra mile. Inconvenience yourself for the sake of others. Be teachable, be humble. For UNITY sake, accept those who are different from you and love them!! Haha. These are just some of the things that we need to do so that we can see growth!! Amazing!! If I remember more, I will include them in. :)

God I want to know you more!

July

2009-07-11T10:58:00.000-07:00

July is here! I am totally amazed by how time flys. When it was May, I commented that time really flies! I take back my word..... Time doesn't fly! It sneaks away without being notice!! Arghhh!! God, please hold on to time. I want to take my own sweet time to enjoy the things that I am doing. How? Can a not?

Against You?

2009-05-10T00:21:00.000-07:00

I am not against anyone. I am not and I never will. I just want to clear any misunderstanding. I am just not happy with the way that you do things and if you step into my boundary and caused my comfort zone to be uncomfortable, of course, I will be frustrated and irritated and agitated and flare up!!

To the rest, I might be kind and friendly but don't even comment too much or nag your way through me cause I have my temper too! Hahahaha. Let your Yes be Yes and your No No...

Blackberry

2009-05-07T23:52:00.000-07:00

I love Nokia cos it is human technology. Easy to use n understand.

I never wanted blackberry, well, maybe because black is a symbolism of mystery. So wat does mystery means? Well, it simply means hard to use lah...But slowly n surely, my surroundin friends began to use blackberry; Wendy, Pst, Glordia, Xinwei, Joanna! Argh! Unimaginable! Blackberry has invaded Children's Church! My heart began to itch, my mind began to contemplate, should I or should I not? Finally, in order to be in the sonship of Pst Eileen Toh Poh Chin, I decided! Yes! Blackberry here I come. It was faith at work. Never have I used a "chim" gadget before but I took the step of faith! Off goes my HTC Touch (become quite insensitive to touch). My wife bought me a Blackberry on my birthday.

So like any new owner, I mingle n tangle with the phone n instruction book, trying to comprehend the unfamiliar phone. Soon I gave up! Haha. I did something clever! "Hello? How you do this n that?" Asked my friends n soon I was an intermediate. Soon (again!) Adeline, Lynn n Connie joined the fun! Yeah! A whole new life opened up. I was able to go into internet, play games, twitter, facebook, blackberry, upload photos, task, calendar, word mole not to mention call, sms, email n mms! All in a gadget! Exciting! Yap! I mean it cos I won't be bored during bus or mrt rides! I can do a lot of things in a hand's time!

So if you are pondering what phone to get, Blackberry! Make your and my life easy! Hint: Paul, wat are you waiting for?

Btw, did I mention that I wrote this blog thru my Blackberry. :)

Easter is coming!! Bring your children.

2009-03-31T10:16:00.001-07:00

Here is the information! God bless.

Common Sense for 2009

2009-03-12T20:15:00.000-07:00

The Bible says in Prov. 4:7, that “in all our getting, get understanding,” which is really nothing more than “anointed common sense.” I came across a piece of advice Warren Buffet gave to his shareholders for 2009. I was amazed by the simplicity and common sense found in his approach toward basic management of money. This is what Buffet said:
“We begin this New Year with dampened enthusiasm and dented optimism. Our happiness is diluted and our peace is threatened by the financial illness that has infected our families, organizations and nations.
Everyone is desperate to find a remedy that will cure their financial illness and help them recover their financial health. They expect the financial experts to provide them with remedies, forgetting the fact that it is these experts who created this financial mess.

Every new year, I adopt a couple of old maxims as my beacons to guide my future. This self-prescribed therapy has ensured that with each passing year, I grow wiser and not older. This year, I invite you to tap into the financial wisdom of our elders along with me, and become financially wiser.

* Hard work: All hard work bring a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
* Laziness: A sleeping lobster is carried away by the water current.
* Earnings: Never depend on a single source of income. [At least make your investments get you second earning.]
* Spending: If you buy things you don’t need, you’ll soon sell things you need.
* Savings: Don’t save what is left after spending; spend what is left after saving.
* Borrowings: The borrower becomes the lender’s slave.
* Accounting: It’s no use carrying an umbrella, if your shoes are leaking.
* Auditing: Beware of little expenses; a small leak can sink a large ship.
* Risk-taking: Never test the depth of the river with both feet. [Have an alternate plan ready.]
* Investment: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

I’m certain that those who have already been practicing these principles remain financially healthy. I’m equally confident that those who resolve to start practicing these principles will quickly regain their financial health.”
There is truly no short-cut to success. We all need to remind ourselves of these back-to-basic principles of life, wisdom and common sense.

Korea

2009-02-04T09:34:00.000-08:00

After my Hong Kong trip, I went Korea!! Took some photos too but it was a testing trip! HaHa. What do I mean? Cos I have to wake up at 330am SIngapore time to attend prayer meeting at Yoido Full Gospel Church! It is the largest church in the world and it is still growing. The amazing thing is how the people can wake up so early to pray and the whole auditorium is full!!

It was recharging to see all this and it really make me want more of God in my life. 2008 didn't really end well but God rewarded me with this trip to strengthen and enforce the call in my life! I was called to be a minister to the children and I will always be even when I am old...but i will still look young! Amen!!

HongKong

2009-02-04T09:32:00.000-08:00

I went to Hong Kong in December and it was really a phototaking trip!! HAHA. What do I mean?? Well.... I took photo at literally every single location like the MTR, Ocean Park, Peak, Disneyland and even my hotel!! It was really enjoyable and the weather was cooling too. Not really a shopping trip for me though..

Chinese New Year

2009-02-04T09:31:00.000-08:00

Chinese New Year has never been so boring in my entire life. It came so fast and it ended too fast. I also didn't do much during Chinese New Year... Boring....

Right Heart Attitude

2009-01-19T19:10:00.000-08:00

"You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures." James 4:3. It is really great and wonderful to be coming before God to pray but when we come before Him, are we doing it because of the relationship that we have with Him or is it a religious duty to fulfil?? Perhaps this is the reason why many prayer request has not been answered and you wonder why is it like that. Are you praying because your leaders are asking you to? Are your praying because you juz want from you? Are you praying so that you can gain?

How true it is that at times, I would just come with a "wanting list" for God and pray through it as if God is a supermarket and He would juz produce what i want. Of course, many of my wants didn't materialized. Ha. I realized that when we come before God, we need to have a right heart attitude and you will realized that other things will be settled so easily. Seek God first and all things will be added to you.

2009

2009-01-16T02:01:00.000-08:00

Just want to say hi 2009!

Life is short!

2009-01-16T01:58:00.000-08:00

Life is short. Don't waste it. Think of all that you can do and do your best. It doesn't matter if you fail. Try again. Try it a second time. Try until it happens. Don't let anything stop you. Fill yourself with zeal and passion. Don't sink into complacency. Let your life be full of colours.

Take Responsibility

2008-10-28T10:53:00.000-07:00

if you are in the wrong, take responsibility and stop justifying yourself.... Just say you are sorry and move on with life.

Be Serious!!

2008-10-24T08:52:00.001-07:00

Was doing visitation when I received an sms from my leader that one of his kids has passed away, I was really shocked. It happened so suddenly. I was really sad and disheartened over the whole situation. It was like a wake up call for me. I really need to meet with all my leaders. Visitation is not a routine or a duty. It is a time for us to touch and transform lives, a time to build relationship with your children and their families. Don't take it lightly.

I remembered many years back that one of my kids passed away and the parents called me personally to inform me about it. You wouldn't know what happen tomorrow. Visit all of them as many as you can,,,, Don't think there are still time. There is no time.... It really coincide with my last entry that whatever you do, do it with all your might cos you can't do it when you died or even when others died.....

Great Verse!!

2008-10-21T11:44:00.000-07:00

'Whatever your hands finds to do, do it with all your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going." Hmmmm.... what more can I say? Don't wait till you died then you want to put in effort, cos it is now or never!

Harbinguangzhou

2008-10-21T11:39:00.000-07:00

Is that a new word from the dictionary? No! it si juz two words combine into one, can you guess? Well I am not going to tell you!! Ha ha. I just want to say that I really enjoy the trip and the first place was awesomely cool and cold.. It seems like a trip to Europe. But of course, it was the fruitfulness and doors of opportunities that make the whole trip worthwhile. The second destination was different but equalling fun cos we manage to get cheap, cheap, cheap stuff. It was unbelievable how cheap it was compared to the price in Singapore. Just want to say to all of you out there!! WE HAVE BEEN AXED!! Sob.... I believe I am going to save a lot of money. Now talking about fruitfulness and doors of opportunities.

Time really flies!!

2008-10-21T11:33:00.000-07:00

Wah! Time really flies!! In a twinkling of an eye, October is coming to an end. I really cannot believe that I have finished Children's Day which I talked about a while ago. Praise the Lord! I hit my target! Above and beyond. I really believe that it is God that brought me through this period of time to show me that He is indeed a faithful God. Last Sunday, Pst Kong preached about the 4th dimension of thinking, visiualising, confessing and believing in things that you want to come to pass. It juz reminds me of what God has done in my life and what I want to do in my life. I really can't wait to see what He is going to do. Life is full of challenges, it's not easy but with God in my vessel, I can smile at the storm.:)

It's coming

2008-09-25T10:35:00.001-07:00

Yes, it is coming and I thank God for all the things that He has done in my life. It has not been an easy month and somethings I really wonder if I am in the right place doing the right thing. I really did my best and I am still so far away. The only thing I can do now is to trust God and believe in His heart even when I cannot see His hands at work. I got to know myself more and others more too. At times, I feel that I am all alone fighting this battle, I felt misunderstood and being used. But I know it is juz a period of trials and tribulations. A trying period to test my attitude. I hope I can go through it... Only 5 more days... Give me the strength and tenacity to move on. I need you more.

CHILDREN'S DAY

2008-09-17T20:47:00.003-07:00

Join us for the most exciting and memorable CHILDREN'S WONDERLAND!!

REVELATION!!

2008-09-17T20:47:00.002-07:00

"I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word and have not denied My name." Revelation 3:8

I was contemplating to turn to other verse cos I was really thinking how can any encouraging verse come from Revelation! Well, I decided to obey and wow! God really open my eyes!! it has not been an easy journey and I was just wandering how I can hit 840 for Children's Day. Now I have the answer. Let me have strength to carry on, your Word to keep me on and your name to push me on!

Boldness and Confidence

2008-09-17T20:47:00.001-07:00

"in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him." Ephesians 3:12

Yes, we can have boldness and confidence thru faith in HIM!! If I even tell anyone that I am by nature shy, everyone will laugh till they roll on the floor. But it is true!! I have stage fright and it is a challenge to me to stand there and preach!!! Boldness and confidence don't come easy... you have to get them by faith from Him! Ask of it and do what you need to do and yes, He will be there... Actually, He is our boldness and confidence!! Cool!

Phew!

2008-09-17T20:47:00.000-07:00

And David said to his son Solomon, "Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord God -my God - will be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord. 1 Chronicles 28:20

This is the verse that is bringing me through this period of time. It is a trying period. One that cause me to wake up everyday wandering if I have done this and done that. One that causes me if I will meet the mark. One that causes me to wonder if it can be done. Amazingly, God gave me this verse and it really affirm all that I am doing. Do it! Do it! So Nike got their slogan from here! Just do it! Don't be afraid!! God is with you! till the end of my service for Him! and that is going to be a long long long time.

Thank you all.

2008-09-10T21:57:00.000-07:00

really want to thank all my leaders for fighting the good fight of faith with mme. I know I can be angry easily at times and have been quite unreasonable. However, I really believe in everyone of you and know that God can use you even more if you stretch yourselves more. I thank God for giving me leaders that are totally exciting to work with. Keep it up.

ANGER!!

2008-09-10T21:54:00.000-07:00

The end of a thing is better than its beginning; the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools. Ecc 7:8-9.

Thank you God that the ending is going to be better than the beginning. God, in the midst of all that is going on, let me learn to be patient and encouraging, not get angry easily over matters... I DON"T WANT TO BE A FOOL!!!

My Favourite number

2008-09-04T12:19:00.000-07:00

My favourite number now is 345!! That is right! If I can it, I can have it!! 345! 345! I love 345! I adore 345! i eat 345! I drink 345! I pray 345! I think 345! I eat 345! Lord, give me 345 kids for the month of September! With you, all things are possible!!!

My beloved :)

2008-08-28T20:46:00.000-07:00

Have you ever wonder how my wife looks like?? Yap!! She is a beauty!

Giving Up!

2008-08-28T20:38:00.000-07:00

A hundred and one things to do and look into! Not being able to meet deadlines! No growth! Financial burdens! Financial Mismanagement! Children's Day Present! Teacher's Day Present! Plaque! Elective Banners! Leaders! Stress! God, I really want to give up.....my ministry, my job, my work, my family, my finances, my everything... Really I want to give up...I have come to the end of my road, there is really nothing I can do but to give up....... all to you God. Thank you for being my refuge, my strength, my comfort, my peace, my help in times of need. God, I give up all to you and when I do that, I can continue on in this race that I run. I will always remember your call "Let the children come for as such is the kingdom of heaven"

You Never Know How Much It Means

2008-08-27T23:36:00.000-07:00

Dear, you never know how much it means when you help to bring my suit for me to Expo, you never know how much it means to aid me in my finances, you never know how much it means for the Precious Moment figurine that you gave me... thank you and I love you lots.

Eat, Shop and Laze...

2008-08-26T09:50:00.000-07:00

Hong Kong is my next destination in the month of December. Went to Chinatown to check and compare prices. It definitely is not cheap. However, I need to make it happen!! Just so excited about going there with a group of friends. That is where all the fun begins!! Disneyland, Ocean Park, Madam Trussard, Victoria Peak, Ladies Street, Garden Street and lots more... Here I come!!

Haiz...

2008-08-24T10:00:00.000-07:00

Why can't they be more C...... Why is it that the whole plan was a disaster....I am utterly disappointed by the whole thingie... All I want was to remember birthdays and celebrate it but... why can't YOU juz remember and make it happen...Don't you know that it is important to remember and celebrate people's birthday. it shows that you treasure and love them. I hope you learn and not make the same mistake..

Just A Wafer

2008-08-21T00:34:00.000-07:00

It's just a wafer but it touched my heart cos it is from a little girl whom I visit. You see, she doesn't really talk to me face to face but last week when I visited her, she juz went into her house and give me a wafer....

AJ2

2008-08-15T07:57:00.000-07:00

Early in the Morning 6 o'clock..

2008-08-14T19:41:00.000-07:00

Yap! That is the time I have been struggling to wake up for the past 5 days but I must say that I am getting use to it. Today is the fifth day of our morning prayer meeting and I must say it is getting exciting and interesting!! I feel that I can get into God's pressure easier and I have more things to pray about. Thank you God for just being there.

Success

2008-08-13T09:55:00.000-07:00

Now I know why the musical is such a success!! It is because our hearts were in unity to make it happen regardless of the obstacles that we faced!

Behind the Scenes

2008-08-10T11:15:00.000-07:00

My stage people with nurse Ling Ling.

Ritz and me!

Adam and me. He is a hearing imaired and he danced in the musical. How did he do it? by looking at his friends in dance.

Thank you.

2008-08-10T10:20:00.000-07:00

Thank you God for allowing me to be involved in the musical. It allowed me to use my talent and be fruitful and productive.

Thank you Peiying, Gladys, Megan, Lizhen, Liping, Xyrelle, Ritz, Bess, Rachel, Alicia, Nick, Chenxi, Phani Pha, Darryl, Kymmy, Samuel for making the school scene so exciting and funny!

Thank you Adam, Samuel, Jonathan, David, Jacqueline, Pamela, Karuna, Myrah, Jason, Wendy, Jocelyn, Joyce, Wesley for making my day with all your funny antics and childlikeness. It can be really frustrating with all your nonsense at times but it was equally enjoyable.

Thank you Bernice, Faith, Meryl, Pearlin, Audrey, Faith, EJ, Nicolette, Tricia, Terrina, Jialing for makin your dream scene really being patient and creating a miracle in a short time.

Thank you Eccleshia, Natasha, Crystal, Kenneth, Joshua, Christian, John, Danielle and Lynn for going all out for this musical.

Thank you Sunshine singers and jesslyn, Though I didn't know all your names, you really make an impact in me by making it seems so easy to do all you are doing. You are really awesome!!

For all the children who are involved, it has been really tough on all of you for having to come for countless rehearsals, staying up late, waiting for the bus, being scolded by the teachers, being hungry, having to go to school, worrying your parents, dressing up according to what we want. I really admire all your courage and bravery for going through it despite being young. I believe that you too can make a difference in the lives of others. Most importantly, I saw the change in all of you. It really make me know that all that I do is worth it. You are all the best and I love you all!!

Thank you Wendy, Timothy, Gary, Eng Wee, Isaac, Raymond, Andrew, Shufen, Tracy, Keith, David, Jackie, Susan for showing me servanthood and humility. It was not easy making those bulky sets and we made lots of blunders but you met and gave your time and energy just to make it happen.

Thank you Adrian, Jevons, Janevy, Xinma, Eugene, Carol, Lingual for taking the time and effort to stand in the gap in the musical. Without you, the children wouldn't have parents, teachers, VP, doc, nurse and ice cream man. Ha Ha.

Thank you Connie, Joanna, Glordia, Lynn, Xinwei, Paul for the patience and help. It is great to be in this dream team!

Thank you Eileen, Huijun and the dressers for making the children beautiful!!

Thank you Chinling for making difference in the children's acting.

Thank you Jason for making all this happen and believing in our dreams! Of course, your wife for "lending" us you!

Thank you Beng and team for making the stage shine!

Thank you Joyce for making melodies to the stage.

Thank you Jia Qi for going all out for the sets.

Thank you Ms. Toh for allowing us to do things we can never do if we are out there.

Thank you my dearest wife for allowing me to stretch and fulfill my potential and dreams!!

THANK YOU!

Countdown Reflection

2008-07-30T11:10:00.000-07:00

12 more days to the musical and things are going on smooth (by faith!) The dancers are going on smoothly with their dance, just that they need to be more passionate and committed to it!! They need to give more energy to every single step made. They have to be of excellence!! However, I need to comment on their faithfulness in coming for rehearsals. I mean they are studying and yet they practice at home and some of them are getting tired. God grant them strength! I believe that they are the best that I can know!!

There are the food to feed the 5000, oops i mean the 120 people who are involved in the musical. God I pray that I will not burst budget!!! We need more money to do things like that! It is not that we have nothing to do ok! It is really an opportunity for the children to shine and show their potential. God provide us with the finances!!

Need to get the props ready by Friday.... really have no money and time to look into it. Maybe have to get my stage crew to start working.. If not, they think they are very free till the actual day.. Hmmm who should I get to do it? Gary? Tim? Eng Wee? Isaac? Shufen? Tracy? Andrew? Get the hint??? Call me and ask if I need help!!

I really admire my Pst namely Pst. Eileen cos she is really a woman of faith who trust and believe that God can do miracles for us!! She is so busy with the musical and yet she needs to look into so many projects. She must be tired, yet she has all the energy and capacity to do what God has given to her. I pray that God you will give her strength and protection! It is really an honour to serve her. If I were to choose again who to work for, it would be YOU!! Pst!! Love you lots for believing in me and accepting me as who I am.

The next person would be Connie. I don't know but she is the weirdest woman I even known! She is so meticulous about everything, which I really admire!! God mould me in this area!! She knows everything even though she is in the office for only 3 days per week. She is grumpy but funny or should I say funnily grumpy or grumpily funny??? Whatever!! Haha. Still it is great to have a colleague like her.

The good news is the tickets are all sold out!!! Praise the Lord!! Thank you Jesus!! Hallejujah!! God is really good. God, please make the musical a success. Amen

My dream

2008-07-28T12:39:00.000-07:00

God really bring dreams to people at different kind of situation. Well, you know, I am kinda busy with the musical and has been calling and going to different dance studio all over Singapore just to find venues for the children to practice their dance. Substation, Dance on Us, Dance Arts, O School, Studio Wu, Talent House are just few of the places... After going to all these places, it kinda get me dreaming and believing that I can open an Art's house that houses classrooms that can be converted into dance studios or photography studios at the touch of the finger tip (of cos not literally lah). It would be good if it is 3 level high. So that the first floor is a cafe for people to mingle, chit chat and play games ( I love my friends!!) with a flea market for people to put their things to sell (anything lah but don't be lousy condition lah!). Then the 2nd and 3rd floor can be classrooms that you can conduct cell groups, tuition, art and craft etc that can be converted to dance studios (I repeat ah, but who cares!! haha) by pulling curtains that reveal full length mirror. I can charge CCH cheap cheap or even free!! I even want to have a business so that I can sponsor CCH for their weekly presents so that the children wouldn't get cheapo presents. Very sad one hor to see them getting small erasers or tibits because of budget constraits!! I really love and want to bless the children with my dreamzzzzzzz. Good nite!

101

2008-07-28T12:33:00.000-07:00

2 more weeks to musical and there seems to be a hundred and one thing to do. Trying to be more organised now cos there are like one hundred and one thing to look into. National Day is coming and need to bring in more than one hundred and one and that is 188 children to be exact on a single Saturday. Well I believe that God will bring me thru the one hundred and one days and more before the year ends. This is because He has given to us more than one hundred and one promises (365 to be exact!!) to go thru our days. What is this 101 thingie about? Hahaha. I also don't know. Just feel like using this as a story to express my creativity. Maybe I should start drawing again... it has been a long time and I really want to get started. Maybe one hundred and one hours later. 101 rocks!!

We are the Champions!!

2008-07-23T22:53:00.000-07:00

Recently, heard the song "We are the Champions" on 星光大道 and it reminded me of the famous quote from Dr. Ed Cole. A champion is not someone who never fails but someone who never quits! Yes, in life, we will definitely face obstacles and failures but it is how we eventually handle it that is the most important. Have a spring in your life that will just bounce back and move on when things don't seems good. Don't quit! We still have a long road to go!

God is my confidence!

2008-07-16T23:08:00.000-07:00

Just excited about what is happening in Children's Church! We are having a musical in August!! But of course, with it comes the stressssssss....... But God is good!! Today, I read the bible in Proverbs 3:26 "For the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught!" Thank God for the confidence that He has given to me and He will not cause me to fall!! So watch out for the "Special" musical in 9th and 10th August!

Hong Bao Party

2008-01-31T20:49:00.000-08:00

It is the time of the year that thinga can be quite stressful.... How I wish that Chinese New Year can be 2 more weeks later... but the matter of the fact is... it isn't!! Asked God to give me a word before I go for visitation and saturation. In Isaiah 26:4, it says "Trust in the Lord forever, For in Yah, the Lord is everlasting strength." Wow!! It blew my mind!! I have to make the decision to trust in God forever because when I do that, He is my everlasting strength. I can't trust Him only when things are bad or down, I have to trust Him forever in good times and in bad times! The coolest part is He is my everlasting strength!! Hear it out!!! He is my everlasting strength!!! Amen!

Be Anxious....

2008-01-29T18:23:00.000-08:00

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, withthanksgiving, let your request be made known toGod; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through CHrist Jesus." Philippians4:6-7 says it all. It is amazing how God can encourage me thru this verse thru a sms I rec'd and I don't even know who the person is! But how true is the fact that we come before God in prayers and supplications and lift everything to HIm cause peace of God will reign not in my heart but in my mind also so that emotionally I am stable and mentally I am sound to carry on with the things in life. the last 3 words are amazing!! it says through Christ Jesus!! When we lean and depend on Him, Jesus will guard our hearts and mind. What a revelation to have!! Jesus I depend on you today.

Psalm 109:4

2008-01-28T18:59:00.000-08:00

"In return for my love they are my accusers, But I give myself to prayer." This whole psalm is talking about a person being accused and his plea for judgement for the false accusations. Although I am not going thru such a situation, I feel that God is really reminding me to give myself to prayers. Maybe one day, I might be accused wrongly but in all situations, be it good or bad, I will lift my situation to you my Lord. Let it be that I will draw closer and closer to you every single day. My goal is just to experience you. God, I want to find you while you can be found and seek you while you are still near. Don't depart away from me and let your presence be with me through. Let everything that I do be out of love. Let love be the greatest aim in my lift.

It's Been A Long Time

2007-11-01T11:43:00.000-07:00

It has been a long time since I blog and many many things have happened!! Finished Children's Day and I thank God for all the children that came!! It was not easy but thank God He brought me thru... In the midst of it, I went to Shanghai for a day and came back in the midst of the busyness but thank God He brought me thru..

After Children's Day, children came and stayed.. It was not easy but thank God He brought me thru..

Lots of photos needed for an important meeting... brought the kids, bought the groceries, brought to the elderly but thank God He brought me thru..

Went to China again for an Extreme Makeover. Thank God for the talent that has been given to me. I never grow weary of my talent because it is what God has given to me to bless the people around me. I might not be the richest, I might not be the strongest, I might not be the smartest but I thank God for what I have that He can use me. It was a great trip, blessing them with my talent. During this trip, I came out with a phrase... "With every mistake is an opportunity to be creative!" It was not easy but thank God He brought me thru.

What could be worst than losing your best of friends.. We have been the best of friends for so long... What has happen to you? Why are you doing all you are doing? Do you know what you are doing? We care and love you for who you are and not what you have done... We are just waiting. It has not been easy for us but God I know you will bring me thru too.

Reality Can Be Painful

2007-11-01T11:36:00.000-07:00

Yes, it can be... But at times, we just have to wake up from our dreams and move on.

Happy Teacher's Day

2007-09-09T04:33:00.000-07:00

Happy Teacher's Day to all the teachers in the world!!

We had a Happy Teacher's Day Vote and though I didn't win the favourite teacher vote. Here are some conmments from the children about me. Hee Hee.

From Yujing:
As my visitation teacher, Teacher Anson always visits me very week no matter what happens. I still remember a few days ago on Friday, the day which he is supposed to visit me. It was raining and thunder and lightning filled the sky. Nevertheless, he still visits me. I want to thank Teacher Anson and a Happy Teacher's Day!

From Kirstie Kwan:
He often visits me at home, he is funny and brave and like to tell me and my friends jokes and make us cheerful and happy. He likes to make funny faces too!

From Kitty Kwan:
He is very handsome and always help backstage (Ha!ha!)

From Austin:
He is funny and interesting.

From Lay Khim:
He is kind. He is quite funny sometimes. He console me cousin, too.

From Lucas Keang Portillo:
He helps the church everytime and helps to set the games.

from Cai Duyi and Cai Haiyun:
He is very funny, cute and helpful.

Jessica and Andrew Ong:
He creates the games and they are fun and interesting (think they got the wrong person cos I don't lead games! Ha ha ha)

Unknown:
He helps people and he is helpful. He carried things out that other teachers can show or perform for us to see and tell about the meaning. That is why my favourite teacher is Teacher Anson!

Teacher Anson is daring to do scary stuff like bursting balloons for bible lesson. He is also quite funny from the photo.

Really touched by the things that they said. It make all the things that I have done for the children worth it.

No matter what happens, friends forever!!

Opportunities

2007-08-22T22:45:00.000-07:00

How often does opportunities knock on your door?? I should say many many many times but we misses it many times too... Was really inspired by 2 speakers, Dr. A. R. Bernard and Dr. Joyce Meyer, about opportunities.

Dr. Bernard quoted from the bible about how Saul was out chasing donkeys when Samuel found him and anointed him as the 1st king of Israel. Likewise, our daily life is like "Chasing donkeys", it might seems so mundane and at times boring, but it is during such times that opportunties will come and make something great out of it.

Dr. Meyer talked to us about not missing the opportunties by knowing who you are in God. Having the assurance of your identity in Christ when you do things. No matter what happens, always go back to the word of God and confessing His words. Don't try to be who you are not... Be who you are in God. When opportunities come, just do it.

I must say that this two speakers are not young anymore, both are in their 60s, if I am not mistaken about Dr. Bernard and they are still living a life for God and being so active in serving. It really dawns upon me the opportunities that I have grabbed especially in serving Children's Church. I was just attending church as a young Christian at Westin Stamford when i saw an area partitioned for children. The excitement and noise drew me close and somehow I know I want to be there.

Subsequently, as some of my members were helping in Children's Church's props, I volunteered myself and was given the opportunity to be interviewed by Pst. Eileen. She asked me why I want to serve in Children's Church. I told her because I want to learn from the children. She was bewildered and said you are suppose to teach them, what you want to learn from them.. I told her the childlike faith and innocence of the children. Ha Ha. That was how I got into the minstry.

Time really flies... I have been in this ministry since I become a Christian minus the 2 years in army. That is 10 years I think. Wow!! Imagine how I was chasing donkeys when such opportunity strikes and I thank God that I didn't miss it. Amen.

Passion

2007-08-16T10:14:00.000-07:00

"You have to have a burning desire in your heart. If you do not have a burning desire, then wait and ask God to impart His desire to your heart. God does not like the lukewarm, for He specializes only in the red hot; if you have that red hot burning desire, then you are going to have results." Dr. David Yonggi Cho

Happy Birthday, Mi.

2007-08-09T09:11:00.000-07:00

It was my mum's birthday and my wife and I brought my parents out for lunch at SAKURA!!
I haven't really brought my parents out for a meal and I thank God for this opportunity that I can sow into their life. I believe that it will not be the last. Though it was only a lunch, I can see that they enjoyed themselves. My dad even went shopping after that and lasted quite long before going home. Breakthrough for him cos normally he want to go home fast. Haha.

P.S: My own concoction of Root beer. Thank God got no diarrohea.

A Higher Way

2007-08-08T11:21:00.000-07:00

Just had an event with Talking Hands... It was fun though the event started one hour late cos of one was late and then another incident lead to another. When the people arrived at the destination, it was one hour later.

Started our Singapore Cake Making Competition. Wow!! Such creativity and excitement from the people. Will show u some pics.

After that, had dinner and went to the highlights!! Songs of the Sea... The effects was superb but the plot... The most important thing is that the people enjoyed themselves.

Continued fellowship at Vivo Swensen. Jac Sim's husband to be treated us and she expect a BIG ANG BAO for a wedding. Ha! Yes a BIG ANG BAO loh... LITERALLY!

Before going for the event, did 3 financial assistance interview, did admin for the event, judge drawings for competition, went to Raffles Place to find presents, bought props for games and a red shirt.

I thank God that my day is not wasted. It was rush but I have the peace and assurance of God that everything is going to be alright. Yes... It will be...

My favourite spec

2007-08-08T11:14:00.000-07:00

The $7 Mushroom Cheese Prata

2007-08-06T08:59:00.000-07:00

Yeap! This prata cost $7!!

But it is not the price but the fellowship that is priceless. Hadn't had fellowship with my friend, Jo-ann, for a long long time. Known her since I joined CCH and that was like 1995!! Had been busy with our own things and it was great coming together to chat and know about the happenings in our life. Well you might not know, it is an honour to know you.

Now for a mini quiz...
Who is Jo-ann?? Ha ha ha.

Death of MR CARROT!!

2007-08-04T08:50:00.000-07:00

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!! MR CARROT MURDERED!!

Well actually it is one of the CCH volunteers acting as 大蘿蔔. It is really fun being in CCH cos we get to do things that we don't really will do in normal life. Really!! Like being a mascot, a clown, a crazy prof, prince charming, Christmas tree and lots more crazy and wacky characters. It challenges you to step out of the box and be a fool for CHRIST.

My Friend Again

2007-08-04T00:03:00.001-07:00

Heros or Superstars

2007-07-05T13:56:00.000-07:00

Something I read in a book...

"Our age finds it difficult to come to grip with Churchill. The political leaders with whom we are familiar generally aspire to be superstars rather than heros. The distinction is crucial. Superstars strive for approbation; heros walk alone. Superstars crave consensus; heros define them by the judgement of a future they see it as their task to bring about. Superstars seek success in a technique for eliciting support; heros pursue success as the outgrowth of their inner values. Winston Churchill was a hero." Henry Kissinger

So is Pst Kong.... So is Sun.... So is Pst Eileen...

Who do you want to be? Heros or Superstars? I want to be a hero, I know it is difficult but it is worth it.

Children are creative ah!!

2007-07-05T13:50:00.000-07:00

Children's drawing of ROBOTS. Imaginative!! Superb!! Marvellous!!

My friend

She is so funny! Thank God for a friend like her. :)

Food never taste better!!

2007-06-28T10:05:00.000-07:00

Let me tell u food never taste better. It was a sacrifice but it was worth it!! After 3 days, I ate salted fish fried rice, 2 ice cream nuggets, 1 chocolate nugget, 2 slices of salmon(my favourite) and 1 glass of milk!! Yummy!

Army friend

My army friend. now in Chengdu. He is the one that organises our army outing. So waiting for him to come back and organise one. Hahaha.

Drawing is my passion!

2007-04-15T11:04:00.000-07:00

I love to draw. YES!! I love to draw and that is the best talent that God has given to me. I can't sing... But I can DRAW!!!! Many people ask me where did I learn my drawing?? All I can say is it is God! Really!! cos I didn't have much of training. I just observe and remember and draw. It is God really!!

Rush rush rush

2007-04-12T11:05:00.000-07:00

It was a mad rush from Monday onwards. After Easter Big Day, there is another major event. FOLLOW UP!!. Call the BNC, BS and IRREG. Tabulate and give BNC report. Everyday!! Had sign language class on Tuesday. Though tired, enjoyed it a lot. Signed for Wee wee when praying. Wednesday had to do some case interview. Then off to visit at Bishan and Sengkang. Today woke up early to go JW to clear storeroom. Did a pretty good job. Heeeee. Then off to visit, visit and visit...Jurong West, Choa Chu Kang and Woodlands. Then back to office to do some work and home. Tomolo is off day for me!! But still need to look into things like collect movie vouchers, draw story, do props and do service at INDOOR STADIUM.. What an exciting life!! Quite frustrated though but have to lean on God and draw close to Him.

Ate KFC on the bus back to office. Here it is!!

It filled my stomach and it was yummy!!

Now is zzzzzzzzzz time. Good night.

Guess where is this??

2007-04-12T11:03:00.000-07:00

1. A restaurant
2. A bar
3. A library
4. None of the above

For the answer... See you tomolo.

What a week!!

2007-04-01T10:05:00.000-07:00

Had another Talking Hands event today. MOVIE MARATHON!!! The HI have to watch 3 movies and answer 15 questions. It was as simple as that. However due to time constrain, only managed to watch 2 movies. Those who have the available time continued to watch the 3rd one.

The best deal about this event is the HIs only paid $2 and they got to watch 3 movies, eat, drink and be merry. I really believe they enjoyed themselves. For the volunteers, it was an opportunity for us to plan for our next event and our next newsletter while the HIs watched the movies. We came up with some great ideas for our next event, Msytery BBQ and Talking Hands Express. Talking Hands is getting more and more interesting and I get to learn sign language from next week onwards!! FUN!! My greatest desire is to sign for service. It would be fun.

Anyway my week didn't start with the Movie Marathon. It started with a scolding from Pst... A slip of mind can cause chaos... Learn to be more caring... Then it continued with saturation, visitation, sourcing of presents, and other misc. things. The greatest challenge for me this week is to visit not one, not 2 but 4 groups and they are like all over SIngapore. From Sengkang at the north east to Jurong and Choa Chu Kang in the West and not forgetting Woodlands in the north...

I also called almost all the child care and student care centres in Hougang, Sengkang, Punggol and Jurong West St 75. It was a humbling experience to speak politely to the supervisor without being imposing and thanking them even if I got rejected... That is life and I moved on... Hahahahaha. LIfe is great! Live hard!!

Next week is going to be even more exciting. I am still believing God for 700 children from my zone. With God, all things are possible. As we go to the highways and the byways, God you will provide the way!! I claim 700 in Jesus' name!! Thank you for everything! Thank you for the week ahead. Thank you.

Honor your parents

2007-03-28T11:21:00.000-07:00

"Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, that your days may be long, and that it may be well with you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. Deuteronomy 5:16

My parents came to stay with me today. It would be an opportunity for me to be a filial son, I hope. I am getting busy and busy as the days go by with Easter Big day coming. I hope that they will adapt well to my house. I will do my best and I know that God will give me a long life and prosperity!! Haha. Amen.

Above and beyond!!

2007-03-27T12:13:00.000-07:00

I just want to say 700!!

That is the number of children that will come from my zone.

That is the number that I put my faith in.

That is the number my leaders are agreeing together with.

That is the number our passion will go all out for.

That is the number that we are trusting God for.

That is the number our love are going out for.

That is the number that will come to past!!

Thank you Jesus.

If you can see it, you can have it. Believe with your heart and confess with your mouth.

700!!!!

For their BEST

2007-03-24T08:31:00.000-07:00

I just don't understand why do parents from SSD would want to bring their children to SSVH. The facilities in SSD is most suitable for their children but yet they choose to go over there where the facilities is suitable only for the visually blind children. I do understand that there are no teachers there to teach the children but let's have faith and trust that teachers will be coming int o teach them. Let's believe that SAD will do something about it. I been to the school and I must say that the facilities are top notch and great. Sometimes when things seems bad, hang on and walk together and lean on each other. Well I am sad to hear that the previous teachers left to SSVH for what reasons, I do not know but they are the ones that the children look upon and see as role models. In times of crisis, what happened? They left..... Why can't they stick around trusting that if they do right, they don't have to fear anything? Now the remaining students have to be combined as there is a shortage of children. If it is because of a higher renumeration, then it is sad to see that they have lost the purpose of teaching and the passion for the special children.

What have the school done? Nothing! it is a situation poorly mismanaged... Previous teachers go back to the school and see what is happening and ask yourself what have you done. Parents for the sake of your children, make the right decision. I am praying that everything will go back to normal where the students are happy and the teachers are enthusiastic about matters. I know it will happen. It will.

2007-03-10T08:53:00.000-08:00

So many things have happened since I last blog.

Also had the first AA zone outing of the year. Hahaha! Guess what did I do...

Played mahjong with my people!! Can you imagine... We ate yusheng like never before till we "puke" haha.

Went Kukup the night before with my wife's relatives.

Quite fun and interesting to play fire crackers!! But I realised I like have phobia for it. I scare later burn my face and I become even more ugly... Vainty... vainty allis but vainty...
Had overnight prayer meeting. It was just a time of vision sharing and soaking into the presence of God. I love overnight prayer meeting!! Keep it up Jesus!!

More and more things are happening and I realised that I need God more and more. I just can't stay 1 day away from Him... If I ever miss one day, my day will go haywire!! I need you Jesus!! You are my Jehovah Shalom!!

How? How? How???? 12th Mar (Mon) will be THE DAY for Talking Hands cos we are having an outreach for the youth, targetting 80 to 50 to 30..... now at Saturday, only have 12.... Help me God!!!! I need you to provide the people for me. It muz happen!!

By the way, did I tell you I search programs for my CCH electives, did the elective board, did the CCH birthday card, went to Sentosa, went to Boon Lay Sec, meet with teh City Care cadets, planned the event, accompanied a member for uncle's wake, played mahjong(AGAIN!!), did salvation notes, did Double Buzz flyers, ordered buns and presents, make things happened and etc etc etc. I did it all using God's strength!! Things are just happening fast!!

Thank you Jesus.

Ask with faith

2007-02-26T18:12:00.000-08:00

"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind." James 1:5-6.

Do you need wisdom today? Then you can ask from God. It is so amazing how direct God can be. He doesn't hide things but tells us straight in the face that we can ask of him for wisdom and for anything, that is if it is according to his will and most importantly, we have to ask in faith. What is faith? It is believing when you can't see it. So have faith when you ask God for something, don't doubt and it will come to pass.

Some Thoughts

2007-02-17T09:35:00.000-08:00

Happy Chinese New Year!! Tis' a season to be jolly!! busy preparing the new year when some thoughts come into my mind.

1. Trust God to provide for your finances.

2. It is expensive to have a jolly good season.

3. Don't incur credit card bills.

4. To be generous, be blind.

Hmmmm. I think I really need to trust God more with my finances. It is becoming a source of my worries and burdens.

Dear God, I pray that you help me with my finances. To help to manage it and to use it wisely. I pray that as I sow to your kingdom, I will reap bountifully. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Change??

2007-02-15T11:54:00.000-08:00

I really don't know what to do. This is not the original blog that I am suppose to have!! I have another with the same name gwaang for Jesus but I just cannot find the page to post. Finally after much desperado..... I started this new one. Boohoohoo. I hope that it will delete automatically after being stagnant for a long, long, long time. It all happen when I change my sign in name to gmail and when I log in using the new password, I cannot post anymore. Can anyone who read this help me!!!! Haizzz.. Talk about change... the thing is the only constant thing in life is CHANGE!!

So let's change for the better and not for the worse. It is never easy to do that but if we don't try, we will never know. Don't stay in your comfort zone and hope that things will just change. Step into the unknown and do the impossible!! Try it and you will see the results!! But but but don't do it on your own.... do it with God, ask the Holy Spirit to help you and assist you. Jesus is there praying for you. You can do it one!! Amen.

Haha.

It is my birthday and I am really thankful that I have lived a total of 21 years!!!!! Oops forget to add another 10 years to it. Ha Ha Ha. Don't worry! I am not in the state of denial. I am thankful to God for giving me a good 31 years and I have not regret living to such an age. It was really a different and memorable one.

Everyone kept asking "Ai Anson how come you never take leave??" Ha Ha. My reply is "I am not 12 years old, I am not 21 years old. Neither am I 80 years old..... So take leave for what??? Life still goes on!" And it really did! Ha ha ha.

As it was Chinese New Year period, did visitation early and it was a bit weird but have to just in case the parent's bring the children shopping!!! Went to Sengkang and it was really fruitful. One particular house made me vomit blood!!

a whole new world

2007-02-10T09:11:00.000-08:00

A whole new world is shown right before my eyes! Well, I have heard news about some of my workers blogs and decided to 'Kepo" a bit. After a few hours, I realised a lot about people under me. I don't think they will ever see my blog but I will continue to go into their blog to see what is happening to them. Let's just hope that they don't find out!! Ha Ha Ha.
