To my dear fren....:D
Hahas sure hope this really dear fren of mine will be able to read this post and know that it is written for him/her!!:D Guess that so many things have been happening and we tend to get frustrated over the things in our lives. To you, the future may seem uncertain for u and that u do not really know what paths to choose nor wad decision to make at this point of time, but what i can encourage u is that with every trial and tribulations we go thru, God will always give us a better wae out and out of the incidents we had, we will emerged even stronger than before!!:D Remember on the Sermon on the Mount where pst tok abt the topic of being merciful and he pointed out that God gives us trials not to bring us down, but out of it, we will understand how to deal with it and in turn be a great blessing and help to others:D
Hahas, i may not have wonderful advice for u nor can i tell u wad to do, but just wanna sae that God is always with u and no matter where we are, He will always leave a blessing at the end of the road and be with us during this period so tha we can trust and depend even more on Him. Alot of unfortunate things happened to me during my days in NS which at times devastated my spirit, but i thanked God that i never give up on Him and indeed, He is faithful to help me tide over my problems:D
Our walk with God is liken to a walk with Him on a beach; when we walk with Him, we don see 2 pairs of footprints but just one; and that is cos Jesus is carrying us no matter where are we or what our circumstances are, and He will leave these footprints behing to remind us of His goodness and grace that He has shown us in times of need:D So cheer up my dear fren, u may feel sad at times, but wells, life is always full of challenges so let fight on tgt and know that there r a grt bunch of devoted and committed frens behind u running the race tgt with u!!:D

Moving up to a whole new level:D
Hahas first of all, it's been such grt joy to see so many ppl impacted during the emerge session last week, and all those testimonials they shared have deeply inspired me and touched me to move on to a whole new level!!:D Life is alwyas full of challenges and at times we feel that so many things are unachievale and impossible, but yest i learnt a wonderful lesson about doing the impossible:D
To God, impossible is simply means as I-M-Possible, and in His Word, He says with men it is impossible, but with God all things are possible:D To us, we all have our impossiblities in lives, but yet, as we begin to depend on God and visualise ourselves doing it, we can reach the possible at the end of the day. Some people may question: How come i stil cant do the impossible even though i have God in mylife? The key lies in our whole attitudes and mindset. So long as we stil embrace the old mindset that we have, we won be able to do them, for new wine cant go into old wineskins but into new wineskin. In order to do the impossibe, we need to step out of our own comfort zone and begin to have a totally new mindset.
This is so true for me in my life. One of the impossible that i have in my life is to able to compose songs that will be widely sung in de future. I alwyas feel that it may be just a wishful thinking on my part, yet when yest i learn about how Peter step out of his boat and follow Jesus to walk on de water, i began to tell God, so long as i hold onto ur hand, as i begin to have a total renewed mind, why cant i songwrite?:D
Indeed, it is time for me to move up to a new level instead of staying stagnant and carrying on the life that i have now, but i know that even in camp, i can stil discipline myself to carry on with the passion and vision that God has given me!!:D
On a side note, yest nitey went wif adeline to watch shrek 3!!:D Hahas she sae when she wanna watch shrek, she immeditely tink of asking me, and same here cos she is always de joie; cheerful gal that i will find joy with watching tgt!!:D Hahas shrek 3 is realli nice n touching, for those hu r considering watching it, beta grab de chance and watch it!!:D:D We had to catch a cab to plaza sing cos it starts at 845 and by the time we come out of expo its orde lyk 820 le!!After tat rush to mac to buy our dinner and 'smuggle' them in!!:D After the movie, went to carrefour to buy some supper, oh mans we both sure can eat alot mans even though we juz had dinner like 1 hr ago, opps!!:D Walked back to city hall while savouring our nice choco eclair and cake, quite sinful huh ade?hahas bt it was nice hanging out with her cos she is so fun to tok to, n we gonna have more of such nxt time!!:D

Emerge 2007
Who am I
That You would know me from the start
Set me apart
Who am I
That You place eternity
Into my heart
You have given to me
More than this world could give
My purpose is found in You
One life, I lay at ur altar
One love, I have with You
Touch me again, fill me as You hold my outstretched hands
One word, You know i will follow
One heart, broken to You
Use me again, Your mercies follow me
For all my days
In ur presence, In ur power
Holy spirit i surrender
Emerge 2007 has been really one of de greatest conference this year, and i feel so blessed to be able to have a long hol period during this time, that i get to attend most of the emerge activites and sessions:D The conference aims to empower youths with the visions and dreams and the strength to go out all, releasing their fullest potential that God has given them to engage the culutre and build it upon the marketplace and society. Indeed, we youths have the energy, time and ambitions to impact the society today and wad more a better time to start than now. What impacted most during this conference is the different performances put up by differen artists like Darren Tay, Chen Di Ya, Tank, Liu Geng Hong, Tony Royston Junior, where the advice they give to youths today is to go all out to achieve our dreams that we have for God. In their life vocab, there is no word such as 'cant', rather, with the talent they have, difficult as the journey may seem, they keep on moving forward despite facing oppositions and discouragemnt along the way. And indeed God is a God that never fails to reward the diligence. This has even inspire me to really go all our to achieve my passion in music and to use this talent for the kingdom of God:D

Field Camp 25/5--30/5
Hahas the title says it all!!:D Been so relieved that field camp is over and finally over, just days before de field camp, was thinking that i cant come out during my weekend and that it will be long before i get to see my family and friends. But well, field camp is tiring but indeed enriching at the same time; we overcome problems together and went thru hardship tgt and thus in de process, manage to forge an even greater frenship between my section mates. We had to build basha in the middle of the hot afternoon, learn different combat drills and how to operate them in de jungle, underwent punishments tgt, doing sentry duties to prevent our wives from being stolen, toking crap tgt during rest time, digging a hole to do our 'business', and having 3 little pails of water to bathe ourselves on the fifth day. Indeed what my instructors say were really true; as much as we don lyk to go thru this kind of stuff, but its once a lifetime thingy and when we look back, indeed it leaves us fond memories which we can hold on when we grow up:D
Hahas managed to went for Cantabile aka njchoir concert in de last min, thanks to huacheng hu managed to help me find de tix!!:D Hahas, been such a joy to see the choir winning the GWH and perf their peices in VCH. As i watch them sing, it brought back memories of the Italy trip and the cantab last year; and i will truly sae i miss singing in a choir and acapella group so so so much. In a way, it helps me to affirm my passion in singing and congrats esp to mavis xh rhoda louis cheryl our batch ppl for perf well in de alumni!!:D
Okies gotta go now le, shall post another entry later hehe!!:D
