FOOD!
9:59 PM

I think I just wanna talk about food! :D
I have three bestfriends in class. Those three are Xiwen, Bobby and Pasit whom actually bought an Ipod Shuffle for me on my birthday. They actually ordered on internet in order to have the engulfed wish which was "Happy 18th Birthday! From: Xiwen, Bob&Pike." So lovely.
We three love Sushi.
I think we have gone to eat sushi at Cathay Cineleisure and the Grand Cathay for quite a number of times so we seemed to not like sushi already.
We don't have the habit of taking pictures nowadays but it was fun when four of us just go with one another to watch movies and eventually helped one another to buy birthday present for Pasit's girlfriend. (LOL)
Think of food ... Urm. I think I just wanna think about FOOD only!
It's because I miss XinWang HongKong Cafe where last time we three went to eat! URM... yummy yummy!
I forgot the main food I ate there but I still remember the seasame riceball. WOW! We should go and explore new restaurants. :D

P/S: I just watch 'So you think you can dance'! I just love those dancers as they dance SO BEAUTIFULLY! :D

REMINISCING!
10:46 PM

I'm wondering why for this period of time, I keep laughing all the day. When I truely feel the presence of God, tears trickle down. :)

I'm enjoying my last few hours of being 17 years old! It's good. Great time and success that God has given for me to achieve. At this moment when I'm typing this blog, I'm actually supposed to do my Geography homework. I just wanna spend a few minutes to really tell you guys about my wonderful, amazing and happening 17th age.

I remember, one year ago, my churchmates celebrated my birthday on 22nd July. It was the day I had my first usher duty and also the Fighter team made the history for Usher Ministry - more than 400 chairs in 15 minutes. I was so new in church, most probably 4 weeks of being Christian. I hadn't known church tradition of celebrating birthdays like making my hand to the direction towards myself - a sign of blessing from God. I was totally blur!

One year ago, I was quiet and didn't talk much like right now. God has changed me within one year to be His truely child. Over the year, I have got more cheerful, more hilarious, more happening, more inspiring and more talkative. At this moment, I don't think that I'm a bit demented as people see I have been laughing a lot. I'm just happy. Life is so happening to me so it's fun! My favour in God and in men has been increased. My classmates talk more to me, not like at the beginning of last year. I'm now considered to be in 'Crazy-human forest' of the class, non-stop jokes! :D

One year ago, I didn't contact with my parents much. It was once per week. Like God has taught us in the Bible, whoever respects their parents will be blessed. It is true. Right now, my parents confide with me a lot, for everthing single thing happened in the family that I didn't have a chance to witness. I call them, not once per week but once per day, 7/7 days! I feel more blessed.

One year ago, I didn't give much effort in my study. I didn't see the importance of studying in my life. But God has given me a purpose. I'm here to study and to grow in wisdom. My dreams will have no limits with my wisdom and knowledge.
...

For all these blessings, I truely thank God for making me grow so much. Thanks Pastors. Thanks leader. Thanks church mates. Thanks family. Thanks friends. Thanks teachers. Thanks all for making my 17th age to be beautiful, awesome and colourful. Truely, amazing grace!
...

For 18th age is coming, wishes have come.
* I might be the oldest person in the CG. Ahem! But it's ok! Old enough to bully them, LOL!
* I was wondering about the thing that I can watch M18 movies. Oh! But glancing back to past, I just watch G, PG and NC16s movies, most probably Gs and PGs. Who says 18-year-old can't watch cartoons? Oi! Who says I can't grow bigger? Huh?
* This is exciting! I can drive soon! LOL ... I envision myself in a blue MiniCooper convertible! Hahaha.
Anyway, I wish myself to have another amazing life in God! :)

The first: I came back home from school today. I opened the door and drag my lethagic self into the room. I saw a letter. At first, I guessed a birthday card? From overseas? Who? I opened and saw Pastor Lia's handwriting. A birthday wish from Pastor Lia and Pastor How with a verse.
"And Jesus increased in wisdom, stature, in favour with God and men" - Luke 2:52.

The second: I went online just now. My Chemistry teacher whom I considered one of the best teacher in life, wished me sweet 18! Haha.

Other wishes will come as I have been expecting right now - at this moment!
Again a thank to all!

LY ♥ JESUS!

ONE DAY!
7:47 PM

I'm just gonna make my 68th post short! Update and take note of things to be done! There's loads of homework.

On Saturday, I went for ACJC Choir Concert at Esplanade. It was the most amazing choir team that I have heard, impressively tremendous.
People in class say that I go everywhere, there's at least one of my church mates appearing. Yup, God is just amazing that I have a big cirle friendship with my church people. I don't mind getting to know their names and know who they were.
Yes, of course, there was my lovely church mate - ELYSIA LEE. I was so excited because Elysia was going for the concert. Although we could not sit beside each other because Elysia went with her school mates and teachers, we possibly saw each other from far. My lovely friend looked for me during the break.

It was just unexpected coiccident moment when I saw my close friend who was in the same kindergarden, primary school, secondary school and now in the same education ground. He is now in ACJC. It was just totally coiccident because his seat was beside me! Hahaha. I wasn't alone! I got somebody to talk, friendly and a very very very 'coiccident' friend. So I've got his contact. When our secondary classmate comes to Singapore, we definitely should meet one another for 'not' an welfare but a gather of long-life friends. :)
_____________________________________________________________________

Yesterday was Youth Day. I had got some schoolmates for an movie outing. There were Fern, Bob and Pike. We watched Hancock and ate Ajisen Ramen.
The movie was both pretty nice but also pretty sad. Hancock and Mary could not be with one another if not their power will be lost and they wouldn't be able to save the world.
That was my Youth Day holiday. Short and sweet!
_____________________________________________________________________

There is an dinner outing tomorrow with CG and new friends (for me not new) - Feli, Sze Ping and Joline or maybe with more people like Eudora, Rachel, Johnny, Aaron. Joline had to ask her mother for permission because she is now partially grounded.
I can faithfully rely on God. Pray and keep praying!

So things to do tonight? - Tick as I have done! (Posted on my table)
1. Pray!!!
- For 'new' friends'.
- For prosperity and health in the family.
- For good 'O' level results.
- For the growth of the NEW CONNECT GROUP - D20!
- For the growth of the church :)
- For Pastors and leaders.
2. Finish up my homework!
3. Create a method/ system of 'SOMETHING' for Usher. With my systematic and task-oriented mind, it should be an secret ingredients for Jian Ming. Just wanna contribute something for USHER 2.0 althought I stepped down! 500% for God! :)

P/S: JOOYU - the Feng, this is a warning to you! DON'T BE EMO and BE CONFIDENT! :)
LY ♥ JESUS!

WHAT ABOUT YESTERDAY?!
1:36 AM

I take God as my pride.
I take Pastors as my pride.
I take my church as my pride.

Pastor Josh Kelsey was impacted by what we are doing in Heart of God church. LET'S SEE!

"Just finished an incredible weekend in Singapore at Heart of God church. My life was changed forever. This church convicted me to the very core.

The story of this incredible church is mind blowing. This doesn't do it justice but it started with two leaders Pastor How and his wife Leah who were looking after 7 young kids in Childrens church. They discipled these 7 kids into adulthood and they are now around 21-24 years old and run an incredible church for young people of 1200 people.

The Executive pastor is 23. The Chief of staff is 24. They are so well structured and well thought out that they know how many people are coming to their 2 services before they even start. They know how many of their members are bring new people. They are so well trained they move like an army in perfect co-ordination. I realised that the organisation however flowed out of their overflow of their love for Jesus. Their worship was so passionate, so alive, so humble, so honouring of Jesus. They served each other with a smile and nothing was ever too hard. Everything was done efficiently and effectively. They were always smiling and engaging. So 7 young kids grew this church under 2 incredible leaders to now a church of 1200 people and growing rapidly every week! We saw around 30 something brand new decisions and the Holy spirit moved powerfully in ministry time.

Young adults are rising all over this incredible planet with a hunger and fervency for Jesus. One thing that I am truly inspired about from this trip are connect groups. We have always been passionate about this but I felt my heart was rekindled for all of us to understand that discipleship, relationship and making sure people are cared for and released as leaders is our greatest priority as workers for Christ. This is the great commission! Whoever God has given to you I pray a new found passion would rise in your heart to make sure they are cared for, at CHANGE each week, connected, being raised up as a leader and multiplied as a fruitful believer. The Kingdom does not grow any other way. Lets rise up young adults and realise the greatest privilege is to disciple others in the way of Christ. I know CHANGE and C3 will surge as we make this a greater priority than all the other things that distract us in life. Can’t wait to see you and your connect group and your friends at CHANGE this wed 8pm! We will see the 2020 vision fulfilled...1000 churches average membership 500 people by year 2020.
Let's do this!

Much Love,
Joshua "

I have just finished a long day in church actually 'yesterday' because I'm currently typing this blog at 01:41 am on Sunday. Definitely happy, it was one of the best days in church.

God is totally moving in me. My heart is filled with faith. I don't mind spend just total one day stay in church. It's nice and full of fun time.

* 11 00 am - 12 30 pm: Discipleship class with Ivan Poh
The session was powerful. Ivan Poh is such an amazing leader, cool and inspiring.
Yes, WE ARE MIRACLES OF GOD IN HIS HOUSE.
I did came late for the mistake of hearing wrongly not 11 00 am but 11 30 pm. :(
Next time, definitely I CAN'T BE LATE!

* 12 30 pm - 01 15 pm: Lunch with Wei Cheng and Elysia Lee
The 3 'O' level muggers had a great gather moment when they talked to one another at McDonald today. I love those two friends, definitely!

* 01 30 pm - 03 30 pm: Getting Started 1 and 2 - MR1 - Garret Lee
Last year, after school closed, I went back my country for a long period and missed out 7 lessons of 'Getting Started'. So, my face was there, in the MPR1. I need to be filled with a lot of knowledge about God

* 03 30 pm - 04 00 pm: Hanging around in church with my CG.
I actually helped out the Usher team as they had lack of people and definitely needed help. I assisted them as an Usher! :)

* 04 00 pm - 04 30 pm: Prayer Meeting with beloved Pastor - Pastor How!
Of course, every prayer meeting is amazing! :)

* 04 30 pm - 05 00 pm: I went to fetch Sze Ping and Felicia.
It was amazing with the presence of 3 more people, Joline, Aaron and Johnny - my schoolmates.

* 05 00 pm - 07 00 pm: SERVICEEEEEEEEEE! - What is Spirituality? - Pastor How!
Haha, i'm glad to see that they were happy to have fun in church. A great impression! My Pastor was happy to see them. I love the way Pastor loves people. He just loves, no matter what situations or conditions that people are in.

* 07 00 pm - 08 50 pm: Dinner with CGs and friends
Haha, it was an awesome gathering of us! There was a lot of fun! People joked and laughed! WONDERFUL!

* 08 50 pm - 12 00 am: A journey from church to Billy's grandfather's house then from Billy's grandfather's house back home.
We actually went to visit Billy in his grandpa's wake. Grandfather has a long life of 96 years. Wah, I just want to live as long as him. Billy's family is so lovely. Grandma is cheerful. Billy's father is kind and funny. Billy's mother and sister are so prettyyyy! Billy's brother looks like a very artistic guy - Micheal Jackson look-alike. BILLY'S COUSIN IS SO CUTE although he is a naughty (really) that I really have a feeling like Darryl said, I was gonna kidnap him, bring him home and let him become my little brother. I LOVE KIDS! His grandfather has a big garden which I just wish to have. He planted chillis like me. He planted banana and a lot of orchids. WOW! What a lovely family!

After visiting them, we went back home. D2, D20 and D4 have all the adorable people. HAHA. I definitely love them!
_____________________________________________________________________
Yeah, it's my Saturday. I'm going for ACJC choir concert at Esplanade Theatre at 6 30pm. I have got someone accompanied - ELYSIA LEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Before that I need to finish up all my homework and study for 'O' level exam. See that Wei Cheng - the 'yah lor' & 'irritating' friend, he has got 10 points for Prelim 1 and 12 points for Prelim 2. So irritating! Hahaha.
I'm very excited about the concert! Haha.

On Monday, I will go to watch movie 'Hancock' with Bobby, Fern and Pike - my international classmates.

What an exciting life!

LY ♥ JESUS!

TODAY, PRAYER BRINGS BLESSINGS!
5:39 PM

I am thinking what should I say for this 66th post? I'm just happy and feel blessed.
God who is patient to seek our faith in our heart, is always AMAZING!

Maybe sometimes my prayer stopped in the middle of the running race. The blessing didn't come for hope. I believe God wants 'JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE' of our faith in prayer and in our desire. If once you experience this, you would know. Some people lose their desire just because of a little dissappointment when things they pray for it do not come. But other people are in their faithfulness, they will never get discouraged. In fact, they keep moving forward.

What they do is to 'PRAY-UNTIL-SOMETHING-HAPPEN' - P.U.S.H.
They saw the failure but they seek the benefits of it. They have a big vision - their imagination of vision that God has given to them. At the moment, they do not have the thinking of being held back. They keep renewing their mind in His glory.

'And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what is that good and acceptabl and perfect will of God' - Romans 12:2.

Against what people in life thinking, I believe old discouraged feeling brings encouragement. Having faith is the solution for to conquer whatever that we want and we fight for. God has saved me, strong and always of good courage.

Lucy Pevensie

I didn't watch 'The Chronicles of Narnia' for just only fun. All characters of the four children of Pevensie have shown something about their life in Aslan.
High Kind Peter is someone who have spirit of God for conquering any battles.
Queen Susan is someone who have bright and sharp mind.
Kind Edmun is someone who was wrong once but right after as he turned back to be under Aslan's discipleship.
Queen Lucy - 'Of all the Pevensie children, Lucy is the closest to Aslan. Also, of all the humans who have visited Narnia, Lucy is perhaps the one that believes in Narnia the most. She is ultimately crowned "Queen Lucy the Valiant," co-ruler of Narnia along with her two brothers and her sister. Lucy is the central character of the four siblings in the novels.' (Adapted from Wikipedia.org)

Lucy is the little girl whose faith in Aslan is amazing and firm. Out of the three siblings, she is the most faithful girl who always believes that Aslan will come back one day and help the 4 brothers and sisters. And her faith was proved by the return of Aslan whenever she needs him. I'm deeply impressed.
_____________________________________________________________________

Today is a blessing day for me.
I'm blessed not by luck but by faith and my dependence in God.
My teacher has known the author of the famous book 'O-level Distinction English Comprehension' - Marife Crus Yap. This author has offered 16 vacancies for a Course of Comprehension and Writing Essay in Excellence to our 'O' level students for free in my school. Yet, there are more than 100 people taking 'O' level students in our school. 8 places are given to 4E1 - my class. The other 8 are given to 4E2 - the lovely neighbour. Whoever are not selected but interested in this course will have to pay 20bucks to join the session.

Of course, as teacher says, everybody in the class wants a place in the course. So out of 3 students who are not interested, there are 36 students raised hand to be selected. Of course, I do want to have one place! Teacher decided to have a draw. Whoever are interested will write the name in a piece of paper and teacher would draw.

My English isn't very good. My writing has highest grade of B3 but my comprehension is pathetic. One day of the course may be benefitial for my study of this subject - urm, not only a subject but an important language. I did pray! I prayed to God.

So out of other 38 students, only one student who believed that God will give a blessing to her.
Oh my goodness, teacher drew 6 people. I didn't give up a hope to have my name. I prayed in tongue softly.

And the 7th winner is MY NAME!

I cried in mind, 'YES! FAITH & SUCCESS!'. God is a good God who truely takes care of us for every single small thing. A little gift from God is already enough for me to keep running on the race! What a lovely 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' present from God!

TRUELY and SURELY, He - my God is amazing!

LY ♥ JESUS!
