caught a chat with pastor jasmine at backstage today. woww. i really enjoyed it. she has been one of the few whom i truly admire and look up to. i respect her courage in taking up new roles and ministries, her perserverance in building the youth ministry and discipled our current youth pastor. i love her energy and bursts of joy in venturing into new grounds with faith. she is very faith- filled. it was so loved to have her asked me about my life and my ministry. it was then that it led me to share about the burden that God put in me during my birthday this year. as i was sharing, excitement and anticipation were building up inside me.

anyway, i had a fruitful camp programming meeting after service too. would like to intro you my team- gwen lee, dan feng, debbie, yaoguo and gideon! :) they are such visionary bunch of people!

ending the night...
"... just to be by Your side, there is hope in my life..."
"... nothing compares to the promise i have in You..."

celebrating 16th part 3

finally the busier weekend was over. been so busy that i only managed to take these few pictures.

at the backstage with livi san, plus the phamtom. *gasps*

when everything ended, nearing 11pm. shirls was playing with her purple hair extension, i was zonked.

while walking out with shirls to go home, met nicole ang who grabbed me and snapped a picture together. (ps. nicole, thanks for all the encouragement you gave. i was so blessed.)

a recap of the weekend:

thursday 13 sep

hope bangkok team touched down at airport and the whole lot of us namely ps LO, pat, gwen, eugene, ah long, roys and i went to welcome them.

friday 14 sep

met ruiz to go to downtown east together and anniversary rehearsal till night time.

saturday 15 sep

started with a good breakfast at macs with eugene, justin and roys before we headed to marquee for rehearsal at 9am. throughout the two services, i was running almost everywhere at the backstage. i managed to catch glimpses of stage performers doing make-up at the foyer. i met wynnie doing makeup on one of the stage performers. wow! i was happy to see her involved too! during the second anniversary service, the praise and worship was electrifying! there was so much burst of spontaneous praise and worship led by our hope bangkok team! i prayed and hope to see more of this in the youth services too! :) woww!

sunday 16 sep

auto- switched gears from anniversary's stage managing to jump's hospitality. hehe. upon reaching nexus, emma's surprise hug warmed me up. i was touched by her care. attended ps Prayuth's teachings in the morning. one main thing struck my mind- the quality of a stage minister's life is so so so important. better to have one musical instrument whose musician's life is close to God than having the whole band whom players' lives are not fully for God. direct truth, yet it is real love in truth. it reminded me of my service unto God, it gotta not only be of excellent service, but also of excellent attitude and motives. my day ended with more phonecalls of coordinating the accomodation for the hope bangkok team.

monday 17 sep

slept in abit due to the headache on previous night. tried to study for my test before heading down to TCT for jump concert. went for avocado drinks with pat, gerald, wendy and the bangkok team. what a unique drink. it was my first time doing sales on tee shirts. it was fun doing with pat and veron. geoffery joined in later. went to meet eevoon and the rest of my caregroup to buy dinner for the jump committee.

JUMP JUMP JUMP! :) the concert began and woww... i was so ministered by the first worship song led by tony. a simple song reminded me that i want to serve God till the end.

"my heart will bow down to you

be exalted my Lord

you are the rock that i'm leaning on

my only hope is in you

i will sing for you to love and adore you

i put my trust in you

i want to know you more each day

serve you my Lord till the end"

my day ended with supper at 126 with eugene, esmond, roys and mei. so nice! :)

tuesday 17 sep

met hope bangkok team for breakfast and i got to know that john also enjoyed japanese animation like hunter x hunter and bleach! anime rocks! :) brought them to alby warehouse after that and we ended our shopping with lunch in PS, ajisen, pastamania and kfc (apparently john's favorite and tony likes it too!).

through these five days, i was thankful to know chin, maria, tony and jerry more. it was sweet of chin and maria to give me a candle gift and a purse gift. i'm so blessed that i'm part of hope international wam ministry.

roys and i took turns to snap group photo with their cameras :) farewell hope bangkok team and have a blast in POP 5 too! :)

celebrating 16th part 2

a meaningful song to reflect the goodness of God in Hope Singapore for the past 16 years...

"... its all Yours God,
Yours God,
Everything is Yours
from the stars in the sky to the depth of the ocean floor
its all Yours God,
Yours God,
Everything is Yours
You're the maker and keeper,
Father and Ruler of everything its all Yours..."

a personal reminder that everything i am is His, everything i have is His, everything i do is for Him. thank you, You :)

all ears: Yours by Steven Curtis Chapman

an msn conversation with Dion inspired so so so much! inspired and lifted my faith level! :) she shared with me some miraculous breakthroughs that God gave in her ministry back in our mother church in bangkok. i was so excited and i can pray specifically for her.

all ears: Hosanna

the prayer that moved my night

"God, i wanna commit Shuz into Your hands. may you bless her and give her a double portion of anointing of wisdom and knowledge as she complete her assignment. may You strengthen her and draw her so much closer through this period as well. may You add Joy into her life as well. i commit her into Your hands, amen!"


i want to thank the person because it meant so sweet to me. this little gesture of yours touched me :) thank you.

am i weird?

hahahaha. was doing a peaceful blog surfing at some of my favorite blogs and i got tagged by miss lu jiali. -_-" i shall be fun on this quiet morning. :)
6 weird things
Rules: Each player of the game starts off by writing 6 weird things about themselves before choosing another 6 of their friends to "sabo". People who get tagged needs to write in a blog on their own, 6 weird things about themselves and state the rules clearly.
Here goes:
1. i can listen to a new song over and over and over and over again (by now, my kid sister will start to groan...hehe) i simply just wont get sick of it la! like now, its playing "1973" since last night.
2. i will make bubble- bursting sounds subconsciously.
3. i like to take out my sony clie and plan my upcoming schedule or things whenever i got free time alone outside.
4. i like to pose funny or stupid faces in front of a camera.
5. i get very distracted whenever mei is at home too. its strange we can talk about almost anything under the sky.
6. i like to do cat- scratching actions at someone.
And the lucky 6 to post your 6 weird stuff are: mei, shirls, wendy lim, wynnie, livi and simun. hehehe!! have fun! :)

not a dead sea

blessings always need an outlet. it is not an end to itself. God gives to us, so that we can give to others. thus, instead of looking to others and trying to reach their statue, how about turning to my side and see who can i give to? in fact, knowing Him is the most valuable thing i can ever have. my walk with Him is the most precious thing to me. so, what's my gain? it is not of the ordinary, yet from the One and Only who breathed this new life in me. i pray that i will be faithful and giving to pass on what God has passed to me.

these are some thoughts from talking with someone. i enjoy the yaks *winkz* :)
