Happy Birthday My Bro - Aswin
For all of you who have not seen, this is taken from our very own City News! This article is writing about the Beauty Pageant and Manhunt and my bro - Vincent's picture is inside! Cool!
Pageant With A Purpose
Few would expect to see a droolworthy display of well-toned bods and gorgeous faces strutting their stuff in a church setting, but City Harvest Church put that traditional mindset to rest once and for all by holding a Manhunt and Beauty Pageant during their Emerge! Conference in 2007. Following the immense success of that event, the search has now begun for the next king and queen of good looks to be crowned at the upcoming Asia Conference 2008 this November.
The preliminaries were held on 2 October at the Research University for Leadership auditorium at The Riverwalk. Due to an overwhelming response, this round took more than four hours to wrap up. Contestants were put through a gruelling series of tests, consisting of a catwalk parade, self introduction and a Q&A session.
One of the judges, Pastor Audrey Ng explained that the judging criteria included physique, confidence, eloquence and overall appearance.
Many of the contestants had never walked a catwalk in their lives, much less take part in a pageant. But despite nerves, most maintained their poise throughout the competition. Some were even bold enough to throw in a few slick moves – this was certainly the perfect time to put to good use Pastor Kong Hee’s life motto of “zo lang ai zai” (Hokkien, meaning “be cool”).
When it came to the self introduction and public speaking segment, some of the non-Singaporean contestants faced a language barrier as English was not native to them. However, most came well-prepared and delivered their answers confidently.
More than just a chance to win the coveted title, this competition is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. “The Manhunt and Beauty Pageant is a platform for our members to display their talents in front of an audience, to step out in faith and do something they may not have dared to do previously,” says Pastor Audrey.
Contestant Desmond Tan echoes his views. “I wanted to invest in the talents God has given to me, to use those talents to glorify God,” he shares.
Another contestant, Michele Tan says that win or lose, she is here for the experience. “I just have fun out there,” she says.
The finals for the Manhunt and Beauty Pageant will be held during the Asia Conference 2008, which takes place from 19-23 November at Singapore Expo Hall 8.
Well, been a long time since I last blogged.. but something really touched my heart on sunday..
Usually, on sunday, Pastor would always give altar call for believers who backslided to slide back to God.. and non believers to accept God into their hearts..
Whenever I see the people walking down the isle and to the front of the stage, I really feel very happy because I know those people are saved.. Part of me really feel hurt also because none of them are people I know..
If only they could step into me and see things from my view.. If only they could open up their hearts to experience God the way I do..
Usually, on sunday, I would wake up super early to go to church.. Yes, like others, I am tired.. I want to sleep.. But I want to go church even more... There must be a reason why people like Vincent, Lester, Trudy, Jeremy and I make an effort to wake up so early to go to church isn't it? Who doesn't want to sleep more or to have more time to do their own things?
The fact is that, because we love God so much and God has really done so much for us.. Everytime when I step into church, I feel the peace, I feel stressless.. The people there are unlike the people outside.. I get to renew my mind with great sermons by the pastor and get to sense the presence of God so tangibly.. It is something that is really worth looking towards..
Nowadays, the people in my church are becoming more of a best friend to me than the people I know outside of church.. They are so relatable, so encouraging.. I would go an extra mile just for them.. Surprising them on their birthdays, meeting them for dinner no matter how far the location is.. This is what true friendship is about.. Not letting small factors like location and accessibility affect each other..
When I plan outings for people outside of church, they always ask me about the location and if they find it too far, they will come up with excuses so that they need not go.. they would ask me who is going and stuff like that.. I am their friend and knowing that I am going is never satisfied for them.. Gosh, small factors like these can affect their decision so much... How is it true friendship then?
I've been helping so many non-christians in my life but very few of them really show me how much they treasure me.. When they need me, they come and find me.. When they don't need me, they just throw me aside.. Just asking them out is already bothering them.. due to the many factors like time - they don't wanna wake up so early; place - too far they don't wanna go..
Haiz.. what is this world coming to? If it wasn't for my chuch friends, I would have lost all hope in friendship long ago..
Really wanna thank Vincent for bringing me to church... Going to City Harvest Church is the best thing that ever happen in my life! Knowing so many great friends who are now my best friends and best bros/sis.. I know I can count on you guys 100%!
Thank you God for your love and grace..
Wooo today, went to support Joycelyn in her make up contest thing.. The wait was long but worth it.. and here is her masterpiece! The new Karen!!! Wooo! She is really beautiful.. Haha.. I must say, Joycelyn did a fantastic job! 
and I was graced with the honour to be able to take photo with this gorgeous model..
