Take 1 hour to talk about 48 hours

Here is my 30 minutes break in school and I am here to breathe before i go on to the next lesson.
Gabriel is beside me, it is so funny and so cool to know someone in the same class, and same family.
I never had that family before, but i have to get used to it because we will definitely grow!

Yesterday was just running the whole day in a constipation.
It was wednesday but i felt there were so many things inside of me but it just can't come out.
The reason is simply, behind gates...
I am in school...

But it was great that I am really stretching myself because I can't fathom how exciting and cool, and progressive our church is becoming for the half of the year, and these definitely speaks of BUSYNess.

I just recalled what brother Clemen said before: words from such a man who fears God.
"I know I better not sleep too much, for I do no know what even GREATER dreams or 'station' God has installed for me. And it will definitely require MORE out of me - energy, time, attention, sacrifices. So i better start training myself to live to the fullest and max out" (copy righted, using my words) But you get the picture.

Be on the cutting edge!
If you want to progress strongly in life, be on the cutting edge. At the edge of your toes.
That will ensure you to move forward.

Imagine you are leaning forward (vision 100metre sprint), you will gear your body forward, and it will create that drive in your muscles and senses to keep moving forward.
No doubt that you risk falling down, but that's life isn't it?
Chinese idiom - Big tree, gets wind.
The bigger you are, the more problems you attract. Because problems are attracted to bigness.
It is God's principle, it is a well-known rule.

You rather live hard, keep progressing and breakthrough in your life, achieve new things, run towards your calling from God.
Run with a vision. Don't live with nothing, and die with a sigh.

carry on later! got to run... ahaha

nostalgia

All the good old days....
But the future will be better!

Went to watch Iron with some of the amazing people from our zone!
With them, we will rock the world together with Pastors.

Iron man is so cool la! ha-ha. his technology is like 2050... or probably longer than that...
I am so jealous... ha-ha.
We had a great time LAUGHING in the movie because there was a bird chirping sound in the cinema. It was so funny and interesting. Maybe we should investigate Cathay Cinema one day. HAHA.... if you understand what I mean - good!


Then we went to Hong Kong Cafe and spent much time drinking and chatting.
I ordered Milo Dinosaur and their cup is like so "coffee-shopped"... It is a normal big sized tin cup with a handle. haha, and its 2.90! Thanks so much for the Hong Kong ambiance and utensils...

We talked a lot about the past, present and future. Ha-ha.. we covered LIFE during the chat. It was really nostalgic as i recalled so many incidents, great and amazing ones and really yearn for those memories again.
Maybe one day, I will write all of them down - these are what I can remember:
Rain came at specific time-pray.
1st read the Bible cum supernatural faith follows genuine prayer
Ran around Dhoby Auditorium, ultra energy with heavenly dreams.
Fire fall down
Speak via physical signs
- keys, thumb drive, wallet
- numbness
- cramp
- shaking
- cold
- heat
DREAMS
intense tearing

I think there are still many more but I just can't recall them now. Well, one day... shall come up with a book about it... ha-ha.
Actually i had dream of writing books when i was primary 3.
What an awesome dream at such a young age... right? I believe that desire is placed in me for a purpose... and it is slowly unfolding...

talking about unfolding, my GOOD friend Nicholas says that if I were an onion and if he peels my skin away, he will find a "gangster" in the core. I have thanked him many times for that already.
Basically this onion theory came out from what Pastor shared about being true on the internal and external.
never wear SKIN and hide your Meat.
Your exterior should be a reflection of your internal.
That is so important... because the key here is that the exterior is not about behavior, or habits.
Behavior and habits will reflect a bit on character but what is a more serious problem in society is that they have fake behaviors and habits. The worst is that they are trying to hide their bad/ugly character.
well, this is a "no, no!!"

So, be yourself, change the bad characters, keep doing it.
Born an original, don't die a copy.
babies are pure, don't let your corpse be dirty.
naked, we have come, naked we will sure go. Don't bring any bad characters with you.

School coming soon... haha... miss the holiday periods, but looking forward to WORKING period.
FUTURE, here i COME!!!

argh... this hurts me...

Just bathed and just sat down in front of my computer, breathing till i sleep and wake up again for the next day of my amazing life...
But what is tugging me at the back of my brain is that I DROPPED Charleston's laptop just now at the bus stop...
argh! How could this happen.
I sat down and placed the laptop on my lap, but as i stood up to board the bus, i forgot to lift the laptop out of my feet. Oh my... how careless...
I can't look at charleston ah...
I confess to Charleston but he was so okay with it... made me feel so out-of-place...

He was really okay and carried on talking, chatting and even joking.
Hmmm... I am just so grateful that I have such amazing friends with me... who do not mind about the mistakes and weaknesses we have in life.
For we understand that all mankind have weaknesses are it is human to err.
Through out my 18 years of life, it is almost impossible to find this anywhere else except in little pockets in secondary school and a bit in polytechnic. I do not really know Poly students yet but i would definitely not put Secondary School into favor.
This is true friendship.

And more than being just a great friend, Charleston is my great mentor, teacher, shepherd, discipler, counselor, and more than anything else, he is my role-model other than my Pastors.


He was there whenever I needed him, and he was there to give me important tips that would help me in my life...

I felt so bad, but i also feel the gratefullneses. Yeah...

So work hard guys. no matter what happens, grow out it.. =

RED RAIN




BY THE WAY!!! Red Rain is coming!!!
you better watch out, you better not slack, you better not sleep, cos im telling you why, Red Rain band is coming to town! it is so cool, that if you don't go, you will sure "ku" (cry) and i know it's true. Red Rain band is coming to town!
What are you waiting for! Visit the website = www.redrain.sg
Contact me for more information. =)

I feel Good..... haha...

just came back from supper with Roy, Melvin and Kian Leng.
It is so funny... just hanging around with them.
Kian Leng is just so secure and always enjoy being the bud of the joke. In fact, he makes people laugh.
Don't get me wrong, he is a strong man as well..
He was just telling me how his class look up and respect him, and even the teachers think good of him.

That is just so awesome.
This is true humility and genuineness.
You are being yourself and yet you bring out the leadership of you.
That's why, don't try to be someone else - you will never become like them. I thank God that Bill Gates don't try to be David Beckham, Michael Jackson don't try to be George Bush, Michael Jordan don't try to be Arnold... If not, you will see chaos.

So, just be who you are, and work hard towards having better character, and lesser flaws. You can imitate the good things, like how we want to be like our Pastors - the way they live their lives, they carry themselves, run meetings, their mindset, their value system... But we don't want to live their lives... We live our own lives, wanting to be the best of what we do. And they are our definition of best (other than Jesus Christ).

Love it.... I feel good.
Partly also because I do not have school on friday! haha. so sorry! =) I just don't have school.

Anyway, today was a long day... Woke up at 9am, and reached home at 12am... It was meetings after meetings, settling stuff after stuff... but still, i feel good.
There is always such a joy after you have done something, especially if it was something difficult to do.
The harder it is, the better you feel.

Mrs Yeo said this, 'every time she sees a problem, she sees a challenge and she enjoys fighting it to see herself growing after it'.
This is so cool! And if you know her background which she shared during the conference earlier on, you got to take your hats off her. It takes A LOT to be able to do that, after going through all the emotional and mental struggles and scars and wounds, and growth barriers. She amazes!

I can't wait for Friday to come. it will be another great day... great night... great presence!!! and revival...

Btw, Man U is playing Chelsea for Champions League!!!
Yeah, Man U all the way.. =) In case some of you do not know, I support Man U...
We will win EPL and Champions League! Trust me!

True substance is the ability to feel good in times of good news, bad news, and being able to stand before God and thank Him no matter what happens. It is a principle!
Substance...

God has blessed us with this already!!

1) Growth - Mindset
2) Pastors
3) Conviction of the people - Idealism
