this post is specially for our Youth Communication team. led by the gently- sweet yet courageous philo with layling, jiancong, steven, ben, puaylin and matthias in it.
i always look forward to get my hands on the monthly bulletins at the start of the month, read up about the juicy and interesting write- ups from ben and our youth writers. creative brains put together in our many ESS invitations, be it electronic or the hardcopy version. these have been beautifully churned out by congsie, lays, steven, matthias and our youth designers. our publicity ads have come quite a fair bit as well. puay who is currently in boston have turned our youth publicity ads into something fun and exciting to look forward for the events coming soon.
our recent breakthroughs were: Easter's "Why" animation clip and ESS' "Friends" animation clip, and the youth 10th anniversary special edition Yo! magazine! ^^ kudo Y-comm gang! continue to dream big for this team and commit towards one vision in one spirit together, giving our fullest support and strength to philo and one another! :)

a joyful freeloader
jobsdb....... jobstreet.........jobcentral.........
these have been my frequently visited sites for the past one week. i have been looking around for job (duh). in case, i'll might be soon crowned as "mountain tortoise", i had a few catch ups here and there too. yes, i do know of the breakdancers traffic police at the new Orchard Ion. haha!
had SPT planning retreat at Philo house last sunday. Qianjin and I, with the help of the rest, prepared chinese style chicken soup and beef spaghetti for the gang respectively. i must say, Qianjin's soup is double thumbs up! ^^ after watching him cooking the soup, i wish to get my hands on again, i want to try soup the next time around in Potluck. hehehe. (minops 1, lets have potluck for our cny reunion okayz? *precious moment eyes*)
met nicole and roy on monday and i was stunned when she told me that wingseng is going away for his Rome trip during her wedding. thus, i will have to execute on my own! thank God, elaine agreed to help me out, by sitting in the first meeting and boom! i will be on the field to plan and execute the wedding! oooh, talking about elaine, she was my ex- shepherd. took care of me when i was in upper secondary. apart from her level 25 (dota terminology) planning and administrating skills, she is a fun person to be with. cheerful and someone who genuinely care for people.
had the first wam night of the year on monday too. pastor lawrence shared about this:
Ephesians 3: 20- 21
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
had some affirmations after that. its wonderful to have monthly wam nights, i remembered how one year ago, God brought pastor lawrence and pat to lead the wam ministry. very servanthood couple. i always see pastor lawrence in smiles and joy and he is anointed in leading the prayer times. pat has a very serving and gentle attitude. she sells pop shirts with us, went through the many clothes of different sizes and served the customers at the booth. its interesting and privileged to know the wives of our pastors. pastor dinah, pat and claudia. whenever we talk, they brought so much warmth and care.
had caregroup at jiali's place last night. it was a close and cosy fellowship in her room. yiyou and i teamed up to do worship, which was a memorable one. started offkey and the story that followed could be guessed easily. nonetheless, we prayed for one another's needs and it was good because after each caregroup, we can know how to give blessings and bless prayers to one another. listened to a john otberg's sermon on how to live a day with Jesus. alrightey, caregroup mates, lets keep one another in prayers okayz? some are quite personal, some are quite tangible which we can pray - yiyou's internship interview this friday 330pm. :)

welcome Kaiwen & Huiying!
yesterday we welcomed kaiwen and huiying into our minops family. now our minops family stands at 34 people. wow. God has indeed blessed us with more people along the years.
at my usual quiet time this morning and i want to share this verse here.
Psalms 71: 17 (The Message Version)
"You got me when i was an unformed youth, God, and taught me everything i know. Now I'm telling the world your wonders, I'll keep at it until I'm old and gray."
as i start my 2008, the verse serves as a good reminder for me, of how i come thus far. it is all because of God and that is why i am under the authority of daddy Wong Min Syn. my dad loves both mei and I alot. He worked hard in his job for our family. He taught me lessons on life, taught me to love and give to people, taught me to be forgiving and patient. He even teaches me cooking, washing and ironing my own clothes. i love the fact that God gave me daddy Wong. not forgetting my beloved aunt Jane. what else to say, i just wished for a house besides hers in heaven.
it is all because of God's love that i pulled through my 16 years of education, especially my university studies. i love the spiritual family He put me in too. pastor Jeff, shirls, roys, simun, nicole, pat, mei, livi, debbie, evelyn, ruth, dewen, my sheeps and my minops gang and many others. these people have been encouraging me so much. sometimes, even they don't speak much, just their presence with me warms me up alot.
it is because of God's belief that i am in youth programming ministry. it is so true that God gave me all that i need to do the role and responsibilities here. one evident testimony is creativity. i am such a dull and boring person when i came into programming team. it was then i realised "oh man, i am in programming ministry, i think i better ask God for creativity! if not, i die le!" i want to be a support and strength to my team as well.
2008 will be as great as how far my faith will bring me.

its my turn and mei's turn to lead the morning prayer. come to think of it, its nice to have aunt jane with us. she led us, four notty kids. haha. ate wanton noodle for brunch. roy ate a beef bowl. both were equally good! thumbs up again. had the famous claypot rice at central for dinner. waited for our seats for around 40 mins. close to 9pm, there were still lots of people in queue for the claypot rice.
31 Dec
i have been smsing dad about our daily activities. i miss him. i hope to bring dad for a holiday trip soon. finally! got our mouths on the dim sum in HK. went to this seafood restaurant at gateway mall. went for more shopping after that. i did my hair too! 2 colors, cut and treatment. made friends with the hair stylist. she is Kim. did my countdown and welcome 2008 with aunt jane and roy at our hotel lobby while mei and esmond roamed around for their late minute shoppings. happy new year peeps!
