2007

dont know if the lyrics work for all of you guys but it is quite apt of what i feel



yeah just want to say that you all have been a very different set of people, i mean i've been in church since i was sec 2 and the people were good but there's just something, special about this group. and this cg, we have been through up and downs, complicated situations, and the worse of everything, knowing that some people are having a tough time and also, seeing people go.
so at the end of the year, i really want to extend my thanks to everyone who was part of e410, whether you still hang out with us that often or not, you are still very much a friend! :) seriously there are times when those not around are really missed. but really appreciate those still keeping in touch!

and those who are here, all the fun/confused/tired/stressful moments - remember we're all in this together
we may not be awarded the best cg but i still think you guys are the best hahaha
whatever that might be halting us now, lets clear it up and 'walk as one' again
i cant say how much i appreciate you guys even an hr vid wont be able to do it. but thank God for you
and annie, anyone can see it wasnt easy coming and picking up our cg from where we were left off, and for all the efforts, even those that we do not know of, thank you!

Thank you everyone for a memorable year gogogo
08 ahead!
>< i'll be 20 TWEEEEENTY

shiying is here!

ok haha i am finally in yayyy :)
i got bored studying accounting, so here i am.. been listening to jay chou's 'an jing' since 10 plus haha! it is really very nice! alrighty actually i have a testimony to share! since this week no cell group, i might as well share here :)

ok as you all know i have bs with liyun & aaron on sunday mornings.. and it was rainin last last sunday so bs was changed to 830am instead of 8am! so last sunday i forgot to re-adjust my body clock haha.. i was supposed to leave the house at 645am but i just realised that when i was in the toilet! so oh no.. gonna be late :( ok nvm so i decided to leave the house at 715am and take a cab! ya so i was walking out this long & ulu road.. and there were no cabs in sight. (my house is in a real ulu place, think jungle-like) and it was already 730! oh my so gonna be late. While walking out I started praying in my heart, I prayed that God will send a cab so that I won't be late for bs! But no.. God decided not to send me a cab and I kept walking and walking..

*BEEP BEEP* (i'm trying to make the story interesting lol)
Lo and behold.. I suddenly heard this sound to my left. It was a small puny car with a harmless looking lady driving it. She wound down her window and asked me if I needed a lift out to the main road. So I said 'yes thank you' (ok maybe in a more excited way). I figured it'll be easier for me to get a cab from the main road.. ya so anw in the car Vivien (harmless looking lady's name) asked me where i'm off to.

Vivien: Where are you going?
Me: Oh i'm gg to expo, because I have church there.

*DRUMROLLS*
Vivien: OH! I AM GG TO EXPO TOO. (ok maybe in a less excited way)
Me: OH! how come?
Vivien: Oh because attend service at FCBC!

I was so happy! lol! could hardly contain my joy but i remained calm.. Vivien said she'll fetch me to expo and even gave me her hp number so that i can contact her on sunday mornings. Although she's moving house in 4 weeks time, she said she'll give me a lift for 4 sundays so praise God!

kk i guess i've learnt that sometimes God may not give us what we ask for, but no matter what, believe in your heart that He has something waaayy better to give you. Have faith! Alrighty hope you guys enjoyed my testimonial haha.. k i need to go sleep now before I get panda eyes :(

GOODNIGHT & sweet dreams!

with love,
sy

oh ya those having study woes/ work woes hang in there! you're halfway through the week! gogogo. :)

so let's chase sum donkeys tis sun yar! GOGOGO!

Thoughts - Nick Vujicic

well. actually im kinda glad tt he turned up to share his story in church today. i guess many are strengthened in our faith and liften up our spirits yar? i noe i am.

Im pretty amazed by the optimiscism of tis guy here. He smiles alot. to him. 'impossible' is nt rly a word to him. it's more of a sentence "I.M.POSSIBLE" i mean. if ure restrained wifout ur hands n legs. when u fall dwn. can u stand? can u swim? can u play soccer? can u even skateboard? ride a horse? Tis man has done it all my frens. Apparently. Impossible is not a factor for him! He makes joke outta his disabilities, like it doesnt matter at all u noe. For example here's a joke he made after he came outta the swimming pool.

"Man it's freezing. i cant even feel my arms!"
and owaes a hearty laughter follow him through.

He names his deformed leg as a chicken drumstick and jokes abt it all the time.

i mean when u guys see tis. hw sad can ur life rly be rite? i mean he can do it. why couldn't u?

He made alot of statements today. one which is impactful to me will be

"Teenagers, when u put on happiness on temporary stuff(Gucci belt, hp bag, nice tees, shoes, looking dope), ur happiness will also be temporary.

it definitely changed my life. i mean i noe all of tis. i KNEW it. bt yet. i didn't want to admit it. hw sad can tt be?

He shared alot. another will be

'Sumtimes u are put in circumstances, but u can still make best of wad u haf in the circumstances.'

To those of u tt might not know. I went thru slight depression for awhile. i started doing all the wrong things. i couldn't get myself smiling at all. Im juz tired of everything, of everyone. Thr are times at wee hrs in the morning i will juz go out of hse and slack arnd. To me at tt point, there was nth for me to return to at home. My worried mum will constantly ask, wad happen to u? why? i couldn't find an answer myself. I just didn't noe wad to do next for my life.

'For u are put in the circumstances. So u can relate to others!'

I'm owaes known as the people's person, Uncle Agony, uncle jed. One tt u can sought after when u haf a problem, sth u wanna share, or juz sum1 to pour ur heart out. I nv knew how come im able to relate to so many. Few yrs back, God made me realised. The people tt he brought to me, they haf the problems tt i used to go thru, so i will be able to relate n comfort! tt was it! Thing is i used to know tt. bt i lost the meaning along the way. Bt he made me realised it all over again.

Well guys. to end. Be of Good cheer! For u r SAVED! n live ur burden up to Him, for His yokel is light and easy to bear. =)

When u haf a struggle in life, when ure strapped by guilt and fear. Ure sick of everything in life. It's like if thr's another provoke, u might juz give up. But hey. Nothing in life is tt bad u noe, if tis guy, wif no limbs, can achieve such great things, holding 2 degrees, living his life to the fullest? why cant u? cos u gt sth extra tt he doesn't have? Cos ure normal n he's not? that shldn't be it rite? well, im juz wanna sae that wadeva ur situation might be, dun lose heart, for that's nt the end of the world u noe. and if u rly nid to find sum1 to talk to, u can owaes approach me. im uncle jed/agony! Well, dun worri abt me preaching to u. As i said, it's nt my style. Im here as ur fren, as ur comforter. =)

CHEERS

Nick Vujicic - Life without limbs Living Inspiration

hi guys! tis is a testimony from the motivational speaker Nick Vujicic. He was borned wifout limbs as sum of u guys might noe. anyway. here's the benefit for those who miss out on tis wonderful testimony today.

My name is Nick Vujicic and I give God the Glory for how He has used my testimony to touch thousands of hearts around the world! I was born without limbs and doctors have no medical explanation for this birth "defect". As you can imagine, I was faced with many challenges and obstacles.

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds."

To count our hurt, pain and struggle as nothing but pure joy? As my parents were Christians, and my Dad even a Pastor of our church, they knew that verse very well. However, on the morning of the 4th of December 1982 in Melbourne (Australia), the last two words on the minds of my parents was "Praise God!". Their firstborn son had been born without limbs! There were no warnings or time to prepare themselves for it. The doctors were shocked and had no answers at all! There is still no medical reason why this had happened and Nick now has a brother and sister who were born just like any other baby. The whole church mourned over my birth and my parents were absolutely devastated. Everyone asked, "if God is a God of Love, then why would God let something this bad happen to not just anyone, but dedicated Christians?"

My Dad thought I wouldn't survive for very long, but tests proved that I was a healthy baby boy just with a few limbs missing. Understandably, my parents had strong concern and evident fears of what kind of life I'd be able to lead. God provided them strength, wisdom and courage through those early years and soon after that I was old enough to go to school. The law in Australia didn't allow me to be integrated into a main-stream school because of my physical disability. God did miracles and gave my mom the strength to fight for the law to be changed. I was one of the first disabled students to be integrated into a main-stream school.

I liked going to school, and just try to live life like everyone else, but it was in my early years of school where I encountered uncomfortable times of feeling rejected, weird and bullied because of my physical difference. It was very hard for me to get used to, but with the support of my parents, I started to develop attitudes and values which helped me overcome these challenging times. I knew that I was different but on the inside I was just like everyone else. There were many times when I felt so low that I wouldn't go to school just so I didn't have to face all the negative attention. I was encouraged by my parents to ignore them and to try start making friends by just talking with some kids. Soon the students realized that I was just like them, and starting there God kept on blessing me with new friends.

There were times when I felt depressed and angry because I couldn't change the way I was, or blame anyone for that matter. I went to Sunday School and learnt that God loves us all and that He cares for you. I understood love to a point as a child, but I didn't understand that if God loved me why did He make me like this? Is it because I did something wrong? I thought I must have because out of all the kids at school, I'm the only weird one. I felt like I was a burden to those around me and the sooner I go, the better it'd be for everyone. I wanted to end my pain and end my life at a young age, but I am thankful once again, for my parents and family who were always there to comfort me and give me strength.

Due to my emotional struggles I had experienced with bullying, self esteem and loneliness, God has implanted a passion of sharing my story and experiences to help others cope with whatever challenge they have in their life and let God turn it into a blessing. To encourage and inspire others to live to their fullest potential and not let anything get in the way of accomplishing their hopes and dreams.

One of the first lessons that I have learnt was not to take things for granted.

"And we know that in all things God works for the best for those who love Him."

That verse spoke to my heart and convicted me to the point where that I know that there is no such thing as luck, chance or coincidence that these "bad" things happen in our life. I had complete peace knowing that God won't let anything happen to us in our life unless He has a good purpose for it all. I completely gave my life to Christ at the age of fifteen after reading John 9. Jesus said that the reason the man was born blind was "so that the works of God may be revealed through Him." I truly believed that God would heal me so I could be a great testimony of His Awesome Power. Later on I was given the wisdom to understand that if we pray for something, if it's God's will, it'll happen in His time. If it's not God's will for it to happen, then I know that He has something better. I now see that Glory revealed as He is using me just the way I am and in ways others can't be used.

I am now twenty-one years old and have completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Financial Planning and Accounting. I am also a motivational speaker and love to go out and share my story and testimony wherever opportunities become available. I have developed talks to relate to and encourage students through topics that challenge today's teenagers. I am also a speaker in the corporate sector. I have a passion for reaching out to youth and keep myself available for whatever God wants me to do, and wherever He leads, I follow. I have many dreams and goals that I have set to achieve in my life.

I want to become the best witness I can be of God's Love and Hope, to become an international inspirational speaker and be used as a vessel in both Christian and non-Christian venues. I want to become financially independent by the age of 25, through real estate investments, to modify a car for me to drive and to be interviewed and share my story on the "Oprah Winfrey Show"! Writing several best-selling books has been one of my dreams and I hope to finish writing my first by the end of the year. It will be called "No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!">> I believe that if you have the desire and passion to do something, and if it's God's will, you will achieve it in good time.

As humans, we continually put limits on ourselves for no reason at all! What's worse is putting limits on God who can do all things. We put God in a "box". The awesome thing about the Power of God, is that if we want to do something for God, instead of focusing on our capability, concentrate on our availability for we know that it is God through us and we can't do anything without Him. Once we make ourselves available for God's work, guess whose capabilities we rely on? God's!

Hey i read this somewhere sometime ago. Thought i should post it here and share =)


A minister passing through his church
In the middle of the day
Decided to pause by the altar
And see who had come to pray.

Just then the back door opened,
A man came down the aisle,
The minister frowned as he saw
The man hadn't shaved in a while.

His shirt was shabby, old,
And his coat was worn and frayed.
The man knelt, he bowed his head
Then rose and walked away.

In the days that followed,
Each noon time came this chap.
Each time he knelt just for a moment,
A lunch pail in his lap.

Well, the minister's suspicions grew,
With robbery a main fear.
He decided to stop the man and ask him,
"What are you doing here?"

The old man said he worked down the road.
Lunch was half an hour.
Lunchtime was his prayer time
For finding strength and power.

"I stay only moments, see,
Because the factory is so far away.
As I kneel here talking to the Lord,
This is what I say:

"I just came again to tell you, Lord,
How happy I've been
Since we found each other's friendship,
And you took away my sin.
I don't know much of how to pray,
But I think about you everyday."
So, Jesus, this is Jim,
Checking in today."

The minister, feeling foolish,
Told Jim, that was fine.
He told the man he was welcome
To come and pray just anytime.

Time to go, Jim smiled, and said "Thanks."
He sped to the door.
The minister knelt at the altar,
He'd never done it before.

His cold heart melted, warmed with love,
And met with Jesus there.
As the tears flowed, in his heart,
He repeated old Jim's prayer:

"How happy I've been,
Since we found each other's friendship,
And you took away my sin.
I don't know much of how to pray,
But i think about you every day.
So, Jesus, this is me,
Checking in today."

Past noon one day, the minister noticed
That old Jim hadn't come.
As more days passed without Jim,
He began to worry some.

At the factory, he asked about him,
Learning he was ill.
The hospital staff was worried,
But he'd given them a thrill.

The week that Jim was with them,
Brought changes in the ward.
His smiles, a joy contagious.
Changed people, were his reward.

The head nurse couldn't understand
Why Jim was so glad
When no flowers, calls or cards came,
Not a visitor he had.

The minister stayed by his bed,
He voiced the nurse's concern:
No friends came to show they cared.
He had nowhere to turn.

Looking surprised, old Jim spoke up
And with a winsome smile;
"The nurse is wrong, she couldn't know,
That in here all the while
Everyday at noon, He's here,
A dear friend of mine, you see,
He sits right down, takes my hand,
Leans over and says to me:

"I just came again to tell you, Jim,
How happy I've been,
Since we found this friendship,
And i took away your sin.
I always love to hear you pray,
and i think about you every day.
So, Jim, this is Jesus,
Checking in today."

something to ponder about

hey i read something recently and i thought it was pretty meaningful =) shall post it here so we can all read it!


Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it.
He held it up for all to see & asked the students
“How much do you think this glass weighs?”
'50gms!' .... '100gms!' .....'125gms'
..the students answered.

“I really don't know unless I weigh it,” said the professor, “but, my question is:
What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?”
'Nothing' …..the students said.

'Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?' the professor asked.
'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the student

“You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?”
“Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis & have to go to hospital for sure!”
….. ventured another student & all the students laughed

“Very good.
But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?”
asked the professor.
'No‘…. Was the answer.

“Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?”
The students were puzzled.
“What should I do now to come out of pain?” asked professor again.
“Put the glass down!” said one of the students

“Exactly!” said the professor.
Life's problems are something like this.
Hold it for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK.
Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache.
Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you.
You will not be able to do anything.

It's important to think of the challenges or problems in your life,
but EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to ‘PUT THEM DOWN' at the end of every day before You go to sleep.
That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh & strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!

=)

The Moment of Glory

SURPRISE! my beloved E410s!:)

i am finally here...BLOGGING!:pPpP

well.. actually i have a lot to share with you guys, but i don't really where to start eh. but anyway.. i'm so happy that i'm finally here! hehe:p

oh ya..i wanna thank all of you for praying for me!!! really appreciated it.
hope i didnt scare most of you out... but don't worry ya, i 'll be strong and healthy!

but anyway, when i was hospitalised... the thing that really come across my mind vividly was YOU GUYS. that suddenly i realised that life is that vulnerable..that anything could have happen...and i wonder if i have made the fullest out of it yet for u ppl...for my CG.
i always believe and imagine that E410 will have people who are bold, daring and filled in the Spirit and Word of God to run after every destiny ..every calling that God has given u guys. today as pastor preached abt the first thing the Holy Spirit gives is vision and dream when we are filled in the Spirit..i was praying in my heart that God will give all of us A DREAM, A VISION that E410 can stand as ONE as one and run after it TOGETHER! WE ARE A TEAM, not a group. a team bonds tgth, support one another and run for the same purpose and goal. cooperately,as a cg, i pray God will do that. but also individually i pray the Holy Spirit will give u the vision and calling of your life. indeed a man without a vision will perish. but when we have a vision, we can be steadfast, purposeful and with the anointing of God to run after it.. to bring the vision of the Holy Spirit into reality. i want so much to live for the moment of glory that God set apart for me.just specially for me.that moment of glory or hour that i can glorify Him greatly...that hour that God has set me on this earth for..the reason of my existence! i am so excited and even more excited to see what God can do through me. but, let's believe that it will not just happen to me or a few of the members in the cg, but EVERYONE in this team, in E410 will have the same desire!:) E410s, LET US RUN FOR OUR CALLING! :)
