My weekend is tiring but great.. It is Easter.. A big celebration for CHC.. We had a total of 11 Svc.. Believe that lots of people received Jesus.. cant wait to hear of the breakthru of this event...

2 drama at 2 diff location:

Jurong Drama was about the Second change.

Expo Drama was about I-Ming..

It is a story that reflect on this modern life that we are living in. How our past anger, hurts can torment us.. It uses modern technology.. of allowing us to go back to our past. Looking into the past memories that we had.. We resulted in more bitterness n hatred. The inventor went back to the days of Jesus.. Watched how Jesus healed people n was crucified. It also talked about how Peter who betrayed Jesus for 3 times.. felt so bad n guilty. When Jesus resurrected,, He forgave Peter. Forgiveness shld be part of our life.. Unforgiveness will cause us to be in bondage.. Causing us not being able to be who God want us to be. Choose to Forgive ur loved ones.. Dont hold back the hurt..

Expo was super crowded last weekend with all the fair n the celebration on.. On sat, after work i reached expo.. super early.. was on my way back from the food n i met Melina (she was my ex- sec Math teacher.. Who had helped mi alot in my walk with God... We become friends..) She was there for the baby fair.. For her 5 month old girl.. So i decided to accompany her to the fair.. Realised that it was unlike the one at Taka.. n it is like there is so many things she wanted to get n dun have the cash with her... so she would come back on Sun..with her hubby n baby.. (Met her up on sun again for the fair n met Her daughter for the 1st time.. She is so cute..)

After the fair on sat, Met up with dear.. had my lunch n we went to the book fair.. there were lots n lots of books..we got hold of a few books.. dear brought a few books that he wanted.. most of the books were like less than $10.. hehe.. After that we went for Svc... It is so packed.. We had abt 6 frds for that svc.. After svc we went for dinner at bedok.. had a great time of fellowship..

Sunday- suppose to attend tutorial.. but i ended up didnt.. too tired n need to go for nursery.. dear got the van.. so we went to fetch chyt huat n his friend up for svc.. :) Everyone in nursery is getting ready for the packing back to Hall 8.. as such N2 is closed.. so we started to do packing.. hehe.. - was told that i will do N2 for this week all by myself.. i was shocked! Cos never did N2 before.. hehe but Thank God.. it is not opened.. hehe.. prayed that i will be able to serve N2 soon.. Serve the mum n babies..

With much experience, we finished the packing within 2 hrs.. that was fast.. thanks for all the help from the people.. hmmm dear havent finish his.. so i went to Coffee bean to do my assignment while waiting to keep myself occupied. (u can say doing my last min work) Hehe..

Went for the baby fair with melina's family for a while then went off with dear.. I was craving for KFC.. hehe so dear brought mi to the drive-In KFC at near indoor stadium.. We ate till our heart content.. Then we went to kallang leisure., it had re-opened for business.. hmmm.. Not alot of shop are occupied.. think can do there for outing (ice-skating, KTV, Buffet n movie).. After a late night, we headed home.. then realised that my wallet was with dear.. sob sob.. got to ask mum for her EZ-link card..

In conclusion, i had a great week.. tired! But i enjoyed myself... 3 cheers for drama team n all that had served n availed themselves to make this Easter a success.. Now is the time for retention!!!

Jesus Loves YOU, So do I....

Went for Jurong west for Easter svc ydt.. it has been so long since i went back to jurong.. a place where all of us had grown, scarifice.. Our miracle building.. When i was entering into the building, lookin at the metal fence.. i was reminded of the area-clearing that i had done during SOT days..

There isnt much changes.. guess the chairs are abit worn out.. think thru the years of usage.. n people misusing.. :( Got to really take care of God's property...

The Easter drama was awesome.. Daryl, Serena n Kezia was acing inside.. so proud of them... i wept during the part when JEsus was on the wat to Calvary.. How Jesus went thru the suffering for us.. For our sin.. got reminded of how I got saved n thru out the years how His Love, grace n Mercy n surround me. This year message was abt the shame. Wat shame will do? How it would cause us to be unable to open up our feeling... Jesus had cleanse us from all our sins n shame.. Having a healthy self-esteem is very impt.

recently i had been feeling so tired..Hmmm no enough sleep.. i guess it is not just abt that.. i feel it is really the anointing.. it is like when u are anointed.. u will be empowered... n have the Grace of God to do it.. :) got to really pray for the anointing... The fire that is burning stronger than ever..

" A hungry n tried man is an angry Man"... How true? It is apply to all.. "It is a guys' thing"... I dun like these 2 phrase..

Was reading Sherin's Blog.. Alvin n her was ROM on thurs.. Congrats!!.. so happy for u..

" its important to have a right and healthy self-esteem.
Don't go pushing away the good guys.
Or taking your own sweet time about it.
Thank God for good guys, and take time to thank them for being good.
And if you had some bad ones, start by changing your self-image.
Look deep, and learn something from within." Frm sher's entry..

Dont just look at the surface.. look deep n learn something from within.. :) Everyone have out strength n weakness..:)

Day by day passed,
He yearns for you more,
Waiting at the door for your return,
Till now He see no sight of you.

Where have you been,
What are u doing,
was wondering in His mind,
He wants you to be His own,
But He cant force you to,
He allows you to choose,
But the result was that He lose you.

Have you forgot about Him,
Have you forgot His love,
Wat He has done for you,
Unconditionally He had given all.

Would you come back to His embrace,
Would you come back for fellowship,
Would you allow Him to lives in you.

This Easter, Let's allow the Love of God to touch you once again. He loves you n me so much that He sent His Son to die for us.

Sms n msn is usually our means of communication with our friends.. When we are at work.. trying to be multi-task .. working n chatting at the same time..

But to a certain extent.. it is not good for building a strong relationship.. cos u might not have ur exact feeling on the msg... your msg might not be ur actual reply.. most of the time is getting to know the person briefly

haiz.. so wat to do.. talking on the phone? Wat if u dun enjoy it.. due to the radiation etc..

Meet Up? but we are busy with our stuff.. cant meet everyone in a week.. so how?....
To live with it..thinking that this is the most effective n convinence way..

I guess got to go the extra miles to make the relationship/ friendship stronger.. it might require scarifice n time from u...

-building strong relationship-

An hour to go before work end.. Class later.. hmmm i guess there is penty of things to do this week n next.. Easter is this weekend n quiz is next sat.. wow wow wow.. so fast.. havent got the time to start studying for it.. haha.. anyway just got to plan n make time for it..

Ydt went for PM.. as we are in for a greater harvest n breakthru.. the devil will be there stopping us to achieve it.. Therefore we need to really pray pray n pray for ourselves, family n property.. Working with God in this harvest field.. making soul-winning a lifestyle..

Have u been in situation that u are with people but not part of them.. Or in the midst of people but you choose to withdraw urself.. wat is fellowship? it is definitely not just eatting... getting to know one another more, spendin quality time together, to pray for one another..

had a great time of fellowship n celebration ydt after PM with the CG.. CK n Ian get down to celebrate Fabian's bday with us.. :) We make Fabian picked up the berries from the cake.. Opppss.. the sour berries.. wanted to do facial make up for him using the cake.. but .. missed.. the cake ended up on the floor..

Wat do u have in ur hand to offer to God?

Your life, time, talent, money, youth... everything.

There is so many things that we desire to do.. Are we doing the will of God in our life? Or all we onli going after our own desire n destiny.. earning money enjoying life the way the world will..

Our Christian walk.. Is a neverending walk of scarifice n obedience.. Obedience is better than scarifice.. wat is God speaking to u today? Is He asking u to get uself equipped in SOT, to be minister etc.. or even to give a good offering..

Obey the Lord today!!

I really Thank God for His mercy n grace that are upon my life.. Knowing that i will not be who i am today without Him.. An heart of worship n thanksgiving..

God, i am willing to be used by You once again to work in ur kingdom, to mould, train n purify me.. :)

After svc, went to eat with mar, xiu, nixi, CK, wenkai n anzoe.. it is a fast meal.. cos CK n i need to go back for PM. mar, xiu n nixi going for blood donation. did nursery for PM.. not alot of children.. onli a couple of them.. one of them is Joey, Isaiah's daughter.. had a great time playing with her.. she is super energetic.. tiring but fun..

Joy @ 9:17 AM

This weekend is a long n tiring one...
On sat.. before going for svc.. I went for blood donation with Kristine.. Went to Tenah Merah Mrt.. Wanna to take bus 12 to the place.. bUT Thank God for the shuttle Bus that came just in time. We took the bus to the CC.. as per our expectation we saw hundreds of people there waiting for their turns to donate blood..

faint~ Got to wait super long this time.. To cut the story short, we waited for abt 2.5hrs to be our turn to donate blood.. Finally it is our turn. Despite being a regular donor, I am abit scared of the pain from the injection.. Anyway this time rounds, it seems to be abit long for mi to complete the whole bag.. Hmmmm maybe i have not be drink much water..

Thank God, We donate blood to save lives.. 'There is a shortage of blood in Singapore'

After blood donation, we was at the bus stop waiting for bus to go to expo.. Under the hot sun n feeling hungry n abit restless.. we planned to take cab.. Suddenly i received a call from Koh KL.. They drove pass us, n stopped to give us a lift to expo.. PTL.. Thank God for friends like Ivan n him..

Went for prayer meeting then for svc.. Svc was great.. Pst phil preached abt having a higher anointing thru trial.. Sometime when we go thru trial in life alone... it is not a punishment from God or ... It is so that we can became stronger n anointed with higher anointing.. Just like Jesus is the wilderness being tempted..In the midst of the trial.. it is not ur past experience (rhema) that brings u thru.. it is the word of God.(logo)

This week, we have 3 new friends that joined us.. (Gallen n Suzanna - pris' frd, Suzefen-Jolene's frd)... It is grest to see our CG gearing ourselves up before Easter. Indeed we will have a great breakthru during Easter.. We went for dinner at a resturant introduced by Gallen.. We were blessed with a dinner Treat from Adrian's 'GOdfather (Mr Ong).. "God blessed him.."

after dinner, adrian sent mi to Pasir Ris (Issac's house).. We have a great time in the car fellowshipping.. sharing our experience in our relationship.. Poor Adrian! listening to the view of woman n cant protest much..hehe.. Really Thank God for Jess...

Had a good chat with dear.. As we become transparent before each other, we grow to realise our strength n weaknesses.. Sometimes our view might be difference but as we shared we understand.. n change when it is needed. I am glad to know what dear is going thru in life.. we shared n prayed together.. :) Thank God for His Love n Grace upon us.. Love u, dear..

had a great time spending with Issac n Isabel, I am glad to be part of their growing up journey.. Looking at the joy n child-like faith, they warmed my heart..

to be continued...

Thank God i make it for CG ydt.. After work, i was torn between CG n Tutorial.. As my collegue is unable to fetch me to sch.. so i got to take the public transport.. Oh gosh!! Wat a long journey.. tutorial.. is always short.. thinkin of giving it a miss.. n head for CG straight.. After looking at the tutorial Qn, with all the ??? in my mind.. i decided to go for tutorial n rush down for CG.. Expecting lesson to end early at 8plus.. but was dragged to 9pm.. Thank God for Richard.. he sent mi to CG place.. understood the chap better aft the class.. next is the assignment..

Thank God i manage to make it for the powerful word by Jo.. As Easter is coming.. Everyone of us is going all out to reachout for our friends..

Before we can go into the harvest field.. We need to get our mind renewed.. with the right mindset of outreach..

Why do we reach out.. for target? for duty? NO NO NO!! It is for God.. It is a worship unto the Lord..

" Render unto God what is God's"
We are all creation of God. We are to be return back to God.. just like a slave had given himself back to his master.. No long is my will, desire n likes.. but it is God's..
In watever we do.. we shld do them unto the Lord.. In the area of work, ministry n outreach.. they are a service unto God.. We are to be a servant.. Those who are great are those who serve.. Just like Jesus.

Is ur tIME, tALENT N Money place on the altar? - allow God to use them n U!!

Change, discipline n scarifice.. - To have a change in life, there is things that u need to scarifice.. Be careful wat u scarifice. Let not temporary pleasant overtake eternal rewards.. Once u have start to change.. Discipline is required to maintain this change in ur life..

God, Thank You for Your mercy that is upon my life. As i renew my mind, I pray for your Grace to go thru this. It might not be easy.. But i know with You, all things are possible.

N405.. Let's serve the Lord.. :)

Ydt afternoon i received a private call. To my surprise was my baby Issac.. Guess is his sister Isabel that dialled my no.. Heard his voice n calling of 'Ah Yi' make my heart melted. The longing to see him grew even stronger.. Havent been see him for weeks.. Has been busy with School.. His call is more of a chit chat session.. Think i will go over to his house on sat night since sun got Nursery..

Went for class ydt after 5 days of break... seems like so long havent touch my notes n do my revision.. That's bad.. cos quiz is end of the month.. a bit of slacking mood.. got to gear myself up again. Realised from Ian that Sun have tutorial.. Faint.. missed the marking of it on my calender.. anyway already promised that i will be there for ministry.. Guess i will give the tutorial a miss. since it is just going there n do HW..

On our way home, at the bus stop outside Outram MRT (Richard always drop us there)... I found a phone.. Ian n Chu Mu was telling mi since i found it.. then repair it then sell it lor.. hehe.. Nevertheless.. I decided not to.. we waited there for a while to see whether anyone will call.. Then the owner called.. they were actually at the bus stop.. so return the phone back to them.. So happy.. Was telling Ian that wat i Sow i will Reap.. He dun really believe.. hehe..

I guess if u lost ur phone before.. that kind of feeling is bad if u dun have to the means to get a new one n also u have spend ur hard-earning money on it.. But not all will return!!

Was msging with CK at night.. hmmm.. A Thought of the Day from him..
" Be quick n Not rushing" - makes lots of sense...

Something we choose to be quick with our work n rush things thru.. But being quick doesnt mean u need to rush.. Cos will u rush all the time u miss the finer things...

Was planning for a relax trip on May 1 since it is a Public holiday.. Wanted something that can allow me to relax n get away from the busyness of life.. Batam, Bintan, Kelong.. Where shld we go??

Still planning.. if u are interest to join us.. 1-3 May.. PM me.

Last sun, Went to East coast with Eugene, lian, Jolene, Alvin, JingShi (Jolene's Frd) n Dear..

Dear n i were very very late.. cos dear had a terrible toothache.. so we went to see the dentist.. n waited for hours just to get it done. But thank God.. that the 1st stage of treatment can be done on that day else Dear will be in pain for the whole night again.

Despite his tireness..we went East coast to look for the rest..
(Thanks Dear, You Are the Best!)
They were so excited cos they had discovered a new sport.. It is something like skrateboarding.. but it is much easier i feel.. It is Wave surfing.. in the SEA!!! No NO No!! Eugene n Alvin hate the water..

It is Surfing on the land..

http://www.streetsurfing.com/home.php

This is wat we tried.. It is fun... can within an hour we picked up this new sport..

U might want to go n try it.. it is at east coast Park.. At one of the cart near to the Mac.. it is super cheap.. $1 for an hr.. till end of march.. Dun miss it!!

We are considering of buying the wave board.. will it be a "3min fever".. got to plan.. hehe

Going for Movie later tonight..So excited.. First outreach n CG outing we are having..

Joy @ 9:58 AM

This few has been so exciting.. indeed a time of revival is sweeping thru..

The CG is indeed experiencing a breakthru.. As we move us one army.. God moving before us.. Where our feet step upon.. it shld be ours..

I am so excited with the things that God is doing in my life. As Pastor preached abt servanthood. I was challenged once again.. I want to be a channel that God begin to use. An empty vessel.. As i hear of the testimony of how the different one is making impact in the market place at the same time preaching the Gospel n building churches.. My heart burn with passion n desire to be like them...

As i begin to avail myself.. I saw the Hand of God moving in my life..

The Lord has been putting this in my heart.. The harvest is indeed ripen for harvesting.. i am the farmer.. that is suppose to do the harvesting.. at the edges of this harvest field.. emptyhanded.. I need to pick up the right equipments n pull up my sock n start working in the harvest field.. Stepping out in faith..

I prayed that i will be so sensitive to the Holy Spirit.. that i will know the right timing n words to say to invite the new friends. to join us.. As i do so.. God moves as i move..

Friends.. Let's work with God together in this harvest field..

N405 Part II - Now is the time to Harvest.. 60 for Easter..

:) Love u all guys.

Wanting something more.. So many things in my mind.. I think it is indeed a time for me to plan and pray for new idea.

Limitation n mindset needs to be break.. When others said that we cant.. in Christ, we are more than an overcomer. The choice is ours.

Last time due to my quiz.. didnt manage to attend CG.. so went to Ivan's CG with jolene n alvin.. Congrats Jolene.. hehe.. I was impacted and challenged.. Realise that i have been focusing on my studies.. n not availing myself much.. Time to start the engine going.. i prayed that i will not be too late..

Easter is coming.. i am so excited for it.. Now is the time for harvest n Revival.. i dun want to miss it.. i want to flow together with the church n CG.. New idea n plans from God..

Increase my capacity, Enlarge my Tent...

"I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none. " Ezekiel 22:30

I want to stand it the Gap Lord.. Use me Lord..
