love you guys heaps.

and last but not least happy birthday to all 6/11-ers, specifically Cherri and Sixian. have an awesome one!

happy birthday to me.

it’s a new phase in life for me after 2 and a half months really just resting and having fun. back to the books, back to the reality where i got to do tutorials. and in a mere 4 months or so i’m out of school.

talking about fun, it’s a few more days to my birthday. exciting

tim and sis are back. nice !

today marks the end of all the cip planning we’ve been going through. it feels weird not going to meetings, or calling up macdonalds, planning my budget. it’s an awesome journey for me. full of favor, full of correction, full of grace. it was all jesus, none of us really. today jesus saved the day, today He used us to make an impact in the lives of the many children we connected with. amen.

throughout the journey, many friendships were formed for me. i met new people, i’ve learnt from many around me. i can still vividly remember our first meeting where coach told us to draw our hands and all on this mahjong paper. explained continuously the heart of this project. the heart of this project came through. the children we loved and the joy i see everytime they achieve something in the games, when they receive their food, their goodie bags. it was an emotional kinda thing.

i really thank God for giving me good decision making skills, and for making my mistakes turn out for the better. who else but jesus ? i really saw God’s fingerprints all over this project. Thank God for good food, thank God for the lovely volunteers, thank God for my subcomm, thank God for main comm, thank God for the adorable kids. it’s all etched in my heart and pictured in my mind.

it is really overwhelming. it was like myanmar all over again. interacting with the kids for that short span of time and before you know it, the day’s over. pack up go home. in my heart, i really want to see a next one happening. bless them jesus.

Jesus loves those kids so much, reminds me how much as a child of God i’m so blessed also. man, everlasting love. agape love that never fails. oh jesus.

 

i’m held by Your love.
nothing else.

i guess as a student, i’ve been taught about contentment, fulfillment. not by teachers, but by parents and the One above. i realized that i have alot in this world for my age, i get to drive sooo often, i get an average sum of pocket money, and i have good family, i have alot of things. i don’t have to be rich to enjoy life, i mean sure, who doesn’t want to be able to splurge, who doesn’t want a ferrari, lambo, maserati, astons, mother, i’d love those, but i think Jesus has brought me to certain points in my life where,

even if i could afford it, i wouldn’t want it.

that’s the key thing i see in my dad how he lives his life. i respect him alot. i guess that’s the role model i have in my life, i mean there’s mom too, but i’m gonna be a dad myself when i grow up i wanna have at least someone to look up to. though there are definitely stuff i would change in his running of the family. hohoho.

back to affording, but not wanting it. it’s like if i can buy an aston martin one day (without selling my whole house and my children), i’d reconsider, and i think the money invested in my family, bringing them to eat whatever they like, buying toys, or bringing my wife on holidays endlessly, i think that’s a better fulfillment then having a nice car (not that it’s wrong to have one, i’d buy one myself if i had soooooo much money, amen) and ya, the joy on their faces, i think that’s what a car cannot give, a luxurious handbag can’t. mmmm. thank jesus.

like what i learnt, frame your picture to the max, don’t paint it yourself, let the Painter do it. i know it’s gonna turn out AWESOME.!

2 weeks is a significant time for me right now cause:

in 2 weeks, i’ll start my last sem in poly
in 2 weeks, CIP event is in da house
in 2 weeks, um jesus is still with me

actually it’s only two major events, but ya the third one is every sec of my life.

praise the lord for good time in batam, good times spent with buddies, holiday inn all over again, eating good buffet, 5000rp mee, 1250rp indo mee. NICE.

been chilling alot lately, doing the last touch ups for cip stuff, goodie bag items this saturday, goood.

i have been having bad rashes again, i’m already healed and will continue to proclaim it, devil don’t play catch up man.

audtion’s up in 2 days time. i’m excited, not nervous or worried i’ll not get in etc etc. at the start, i was wondering how i’ll be if i didn’t get in, blablabla, but soon there was a peace when i just looked to Daddy, i ran to Him, feeling secure as always, till i got to a point where, if i don’t get in, it’s the journey that counts. i jammed with the band and had fun, i get to jam another time in 2 days and it is another level of experience. at the end of the day, results are unto the lord, but i just have fun and enjoy myself in the process. that’s the life

i’m lovin life more than ever.

no more depressed, angsty shit all. i’m carefree and enjoying every single minute of it.

thanks daddy

L

off to holiday inn. be back on sunday !

You gave me hope
You made me whole
At the cross

You took my place
You showed me grace
At the cross where You died for me

thanks Daddy.

it was my mother church’s 37th anniversary today. initially i hesitated coming back, due to various reasons i shall not disclose but i guess going as a family made it feel better.

the whole atmosphere and just the feeling of “this was where i grew up” came and i did not have much to say, just standing around, looking at how some things have changed and still more changes to come. some friendly, others just too awkward. but it’s fine, i’ve moved on. i learnt alot and have taken it with me.

back to NCC, where i spent my last 10 months in week after week was where i knew God placed me at the right place at the right time. favor continues to multiply in my life and i still ask for more. it’s a kiasu singaporean attitude that kinda works with the flow of Daddy God, i can’t stop asking for more can i ?

anyway i got my first bill since i had my BB and guess what i only used 10mb out of 1gb worth of data. that’s 1/100 usage of my data plan. 1% 1% 1% !!!! wah lao. and i thought i used alot already. time to actually do literally EVERYTHING on it and leave my trusty old mac in one corner.

Daddy my life to you
