pre-JUMP

after soaking myself in the JUMP P&W songs for the past few days, i switched to Naruto tunes this morning on my way to work.
Naruto tunes are still my favorite when i need that kind of fighting fighting spirit to rise within me.
for Naruto fans out there, you'll be familiar with tunes like Haruka Kanata, The Raising Fighting Spirit, Sarutobi and the 5th Fight.
i'm attracted to Naruto because of its fighting spirit and determination to overcome any obstacles or hardships.
While listening, i was thinking that if i can be attracted to anime series like Naruto, wouldn't it be great if anime series can feature lives of King David or Queen Esther?
i will, too, be very captivated by the heroic stories of these great men and women as told in the bible.
i believe, soon, there will be talented people who will rise to draw and cartoonise bible characters into the world of manga and anime. exciting~

the battle is the Lord's...
Press on to win the Prize...
Overcoming obstacles like how Moses did in Pharaoh days...

till then, tomorrow will mark a major milestone in the history of Hope Spore WAM...

J.U.M.P

will

a man's best weapon is not a gun.
a man's best weapon is not his looks.
a man's best weapon is not his abilities.

a man's best weapon is his will to fight.

a will to fight will overcome all obstacles of shapes and sizes.

fight on, shuz!

"the God of peace will soon crush satan under your feet..." Romans 16:20

one fine day

Hello friends!
Welcome to my good friend, Nicole's new online shop:
lovely earrings, necklaces, bracelets and many more! :D

learning is a joy

i do not come from top schools on local grounds, neither top schools from overseas.

PAP Kindergarten.
Xinmin Primary.
Deyi Secondary.
Ngee Ann Poly.
SIM-RMIT.

i came from there.

learning is not just for the wise.
it is for all who have a keen heart to know and learn,
and learning never stops!

now i understand why Prov 3:13 says "...Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding..."

i am very happy whenever i learnt something new.

to obtain wisdom is the greatest treasure, that also include knowing and receiving the salvation! heehee

What did you learn recently? :)

5 hours

met up with shirls yesterday and we just chatted from 630pm to 1130pm, until Roy came to fetch us back. *thanks roy!* it was such a great great time spent with shirls. many times, i always marveled at how she live her life. i often to liken her life to the life of a wanderer. i feel strongly deep down that singapore is one of the many stops in her life. *winks*
oh, i borrowed a book back from her too.

we kinda made 3 pacts at the end of the day:
a) if she come across any books that would be helpful for me and the ministry, just buy them!
no need to ask me if i want. she can help me make the purchase first.
i am so desperate for greater learning and deeper growth!
b) she can move me anytime, anywhere!
we kept each other accountable, that if and when the church need us to do anything, anywhere, we'll move our butts there. haha!
c) our dinner date in sep with 1 hot local dude + 2 hot overseas dudes.
hohohohoho!!! time for more learning and visioning!

and one thing i wont forget for the night:
be patient.
for patience will bring the faithful ones to see the promised land.
for patience is very much needed in perservering forward.
for patience reflects the true heart of a Hope.
