Friendship

2009-02-24T00:20:00.003+08:00

Was just listening to this chinese song.. and felt that it was really nice..
Just wanna dedicate this song to my brothers..
They are the people who have been through thick and thin with me..
They are the people who have been a great impact in my life..
And they are the people I truely trust...

不管是开水, 可乐或冰啤酒
只要能干杯都是种享受
不管是冲浪打屁想搞什么
重点是跟谁一起疯
朋友是平常时候最锣喱叭嗦
但相同时候会说写什么
当我说做白日梦拼命锄草握~
备地里却陪着我做梦
谁可以陪我在雨天兜风
骑着单车往前冲
谁可以陪我唱歌比踢球
轻轻松松就把烦恼带走
朋友是忙碌时候就忘记联络
但一通电话感情就热落
只有在失恋时候才会想到我
我幸福却比我更快活
你就我最坏的好朋友
谁可以陪我在雨天兜风
骑着单车往前冲
谁可以陪我唱歌比踢球
轻轻松松就把烦恼带走
朋友是平常时候最锣喱叭嗦
但相同时候会说写什么
当我说做白日梦拼命锄草握~
被地里却陪着我做梦
朋友是忙碌时候却忘记联络
但一通电话感情就热落 NO~
只有在失恋时候才会想到我
我幸福却比我更快活
你就我最坏的好朋友

Haha.. its in chinese.. Will find the MTV and post it up soon to let you guys see.. but yea.. Haha
This song is dedicated to

Aswin

Baggy!

2009-02-13T20:21:00.002+08:00

YAY! Apart from the great revelations God has given me, this week, my best bro from choir gave me a new bag! Woohoo.. So cool!

This is like the first gift I've received in this year.. Really wanna thank God for such a great bro..
So many people commented on my bag but 1 man took it to the next level and bought me a bag!

Also wanna thank Vincent and Samuel for lending me their bags to tide over this period of time.. Really appreciate the small little gestures, thoughts and blessings from you guys..

Love u all!
Haha

Oh.. this is my new baggy!

Feels like a Christmas present =)

Outing

2009-01-31T01:04:00.002+08:00

Wooo! Today, is a great day! .. Went out with Aswin, Shawn and Judee.. Been really a long time since I met up with Shawn.. Glad to see that he is still so nonsense as ever.. Haha..

Anyway, today, received some unpleasant news in the office.. So, was kind of in a very bad mood.. But after that, Aswin called me and said we gonna go SING! YAY! Haha..
So, I made my way to Serangoon to meet them and we headed down to Serangoon Gardens..
Can't really recall what the name of the KTV.. Really get to sing my heart out and vent all the frustrations when singing.. Haha..

Oh ya.. The KTV was really expensive.. Haha.. We kept complaining after the whole thing.. But all in all, I really enjoyed myself alot.. Like what I usually say, it doesn't really matter where you are going because with the people you love, anywhere in the world would be the best place to be..

Haha.. Really glad after so long, finally can go KTV.. Alot of people I know don't really go or at least I think so.. Haha.. Like my poly mates, busy with their work.. Cell group, not alot of people like to sing in these type of places.. and so on.. Haha..

OH YA! I forgot to say.. We went to Chomp Chomp to eat and we talked till like almost 12 midnight.. almost miss our last bus.. haha..

Finally, 1 last footnote to Judee.. Remember to buy for Aswin a phone!

Decisive

2009-01-30T00:45:00.005+08:00

Was watching a show and they gave this illustration which I felt was really good..

Son: Mummy, can I have an ice-cream?
Mum: Sure..

The mother leaves and goes to the shop.. She doesn't know which one her son wants so she bought an ice-cream cone and an ice popsicle...

When she returned, she took both out of the plastic bag..

Mum: Son, which one do you want? Pick one and mummy will take the other one..

The son holds both and starts thinking which one to choose.. but he could not decide and in the end, both the ice-cream melted...

This story really shows me that, in life, we need to not only be decisive, but we need to make the correct choices in the shortes possible time.. if not, we might end up losing both choices...

My SOT

2009-01-28T00:46:00.004+08:00

I really wanna go SOT this year but it seems like the time is not right.. Family having financial problems and stuff.. It really dampens my whole mood hearing that I can't go SOT because of this reason..

Working like mad to earn money for SOT but later hearing that the money I earn is needed to help my family over this time..

Call me selfish but I really wanted to attend SOT.. It's not that I would use the money my parents earn but I'm using the money that I earn myself to attend something I want..
I really hated this.. Sometimes, I really wish I was borned in a wealthy family so all these things can be avoided..

Recently, been talking to my NYP CHC friends and of course, some of my best buds like Aswin, Vincent and Jeremy about this.. and really thank God for them and for their advice..
One thing is that, God does not only speak to you directly but He uses the people around you to talk to you as well..
For Nick Vuijic.. His situation has caused so many lives to change, so many people to come to Christ..
If you put it into my context, God placed this on me because with this situation, I am able to shine ever so brightly in my family and be a living testimony.. SOT is important but the salvation of my family is more important..
I was so blinded not to see that in the past but like what people always tell me..
God's ways are always higher than our ways.. Things might not be going along according to how it is planned but once you slowly experience it and go through it, it will always turn out alright..

Thank you God for such a great word and also thank my bros, Aswin, Vincent, Jeremy and Joseph for giving me great advice..
Special thanks to Evangeline for sharing with me your experience =)

God is good, all the time!

Material Items

2009-01-21T03:01:00.002+08:00

Recently, a few people kept commenting about the bag that I'm carrying.. Some say it's ugly, some say that my fashion sense dropped.. all the bad comments came out..

As I was thinking about what all of them said, it came upon me that all these people who gave those comments have no feelings at all..

Some things, to a person, it might be junk but to another, it might mean the world..
The value of the things we possess is not determined by the price tag but it is determined by the sentimental value and the person who gave that item to you..
Even a simple bookmark, can have of higher value compared to a Gucci bag or Jewellery..

This bag that people comment so much about.. Yes, I admit, it is spoilt already.. and it does not suit me.. but don't you guys think I know that? My fashion sense isn't that bad.. This bag, might seem so negative.. but my best friend Vincent, lent it to me when my other bag was spoilt.. Who else among you have offered to lend me a bag? This current bag is spoilt also and still none of you has offered me then what makes you think you have the rights to comment?

This bag that I'm carrying now is one of the best gifts anyone has given to me.. Because it came from the heart.. I've used this bag for a year now and till now, it is still ever so useful..

Don't be so materialistic and judgemental.. See things with another pair of eyes.. Some gifts are best when they come from the heart instead of the pocket..

Thanksgiving Cell Group

2009-01-18T21:26:00.004+08:00

Woah! Today is probably one of the days I have been waiting for... Because I am going to BV for thanksgiving... YAY!
It is probably one of my greatest wish to become a BV not only in subzone, zone but to be able to stand on stage in church to BV.. The only thing standing in my way is probably my stage fright..

But above all of it, I took a step of faith and just sang.. Although to me it wasn't that great, but the experience of the whole thing has made me stronger..

It is such an honor to stand beside Karen and Joseph and BV.. Not many people were given this chance and I really thank Joseph for giving me this opportunity.. I believe this is my first step to my dream of becoming a Worship Leader..

I thought the day would end with just singing.. but to my surprise, I was nominated for Most Caring Member and I actually won! Haha.. When they gave the description, I was in shock because no one knew what I did except Karen and Joycelyn.. I never expected Joseph to know about it...

Overall, the day has been really great.. enjoyed myself with the games and fellowshipping.. Can't wait for the next major event in the subzone / zone.. Hopefully, I won't be in NS by then.. Haha..

Outing with My Bro!

2009-01-08T23:59:00.000+08:00

YAY! After such a long week, got to go out with Aswin today... Only thing I have been looking forward to in this week =)

We met up at 7pm, Cineleisure.. didn't know what show to catch because Bolt and Yes Man both no night show.. In the end, we settled for 7 Pounds.. Donal said it was nice, so we trusted him.. haha..

Anyway, we went to BBQ chicken.. guess it is a Korean chicken stall.. Had a coupon that Phoebe gave me.. so went there to eat.. It was really nice.. and it was cheap coz I had the 2 for 1 ticket! YAY! In the end, we paid like $20+ total for food and drinks.. considered quite cheap for a place like that.. haha..

Coming back to the 7 pounds show, it was really boring in the start.. all the intro and stuff.. and some parts are just plain complicating.. but when it boiled down to around the ending, it got so interesting and touching.. it is like, all the confusing parts start to tie down together and make sense! It is a show that really gives hope to people who feel that there isn't hope in the situation they are facing..

Although time flew so fast and we headed home after that, I really enjoyed the day spent with Aswin.. It is not about how long you spend time with someone but how it is the quality time spent.. Haha.. we shared some stuff and talked alot also.. Guess there isn't any secrets between us now and I really love that in a friendship..

Day 1 of 2009

2009-01-02T00:51:00.002+08:00

Wow.. Really been a great 2008.. but the start of 2009 is even greater!
Haha.. Today, went out with the NYP CHC pals.. Been like forever since I last met them.. Really miss them so much.. Took like super lots of photos..
People like Val, Evangeline, Carrisa, Mark, Rickson, Trudy, RuFeng, Eugene and his cg member Marcus..

To kick start 2009, we went to watch the movie "Bed time stories".. Was really cool.. Love the guinea pig - Bugsy! Haha.. So cute...
Overall, felt that the movie was quite ok..

Soon, we went to Sushi Tei to eat.. Haha.. Most of the time, we were talking nonsense.. Think I didn't eat much.. Laugh till full.. Haha.. And as usual, Rickson was such a clown.. Keep throwing those jokes.. and Trudy, well.. being her random self.. Carrisa was as blur as usual.. Haha.. all their unglamorous trademarks..

After that, we went to Da Bao(Takeaway) Tao Hui(Beancurd) Haha.. walked like super long to make our way to esplanade but on the way, we kept sidetracking till we had to just settle eating at city hall....

Overall, really enjoyed myself.. Rekindle back the love with the NYP CHC Peeps.. really missed them alot and I'm really happy to be able to spend the 1st day of the year with them..

2009!

2009-01-01T01:06:00.002+08:00

Well, 2008 has really been a tough year for me.. but within these tough times, true friends are the ones who really stood by me..

No surprise, all of them are from church.. Haha..

Anyway, really wanna thank all of you especially these people, who have made an impact in my life in the year 2008..
Through happy and sad times, you guys stood by me all the way.. Though some of you have different ways of expressing, it is really the heart that shows how much you care.. Really love you guys and thank you for bringing forth a better Clarence..

I believe 2009 will be a greater year for us... Believing that our friendship will become greater as well.. And all of us will really rise up to become greater vessels and ambassadors of Christ..!

2008-12-28T23:26:00.002+08:00

Wow, today was really a great way to end my 2008! Without this day, I guess my 2008 would just end like any normal year..
Well, it kick started with going for service.. Pastor preached a great word.. Something that really spoke into my heart and from that word, I started to release forgiveness to those who have hurt me.. Right now, I feel so much relieved!

Oh ya, liked the illustration Pastor Kong gave about the small boy sitting on the bumblebee.. Really changed my perspective and I realised how dumb I was at times..

Haha, anyway, after that, went to Changi Airport T3 with the members for lunch and soon, we went to sent Sun off.. We departed our separate ways.. Karen and I went to visit Joy for she was running a high fever.. Kind of still worried about her right now but will keep her in prayer =)

Anyway, I soon headed down to Willy's house.. His house looked like a condo.. It was so well furnished.. The place was so classy and I so wished my house was like that! Oh man! Haha..
Soon, I started playing "Guitar Heroes" Haha.. Guess what? I did not sing.. I went to play the drums... It was so fun! Played with Miguel and Willy and they whole experience was so funny..

As time passed, more people came who I did not know.. I guess the only person I really knew there was Willy.. But he started introducing people to me and introducing me to people.. and we cliqued off quite well.. started talking and could really fellowship with the people..

The whole day-night was really fun.. I feel so honoured that Willy actually invited me to attend this small party at his place because he only invited people who were closer to him..
This is the first time anyone has ever done this for me and the joy I'm feeling now is something not everyone will ever experience..

Looking at how 2008 was, I'm really glad that Willy became part of my life.. He is indeed a true friend.. One I have been searching for, for 10 years.. Indeed God does answer prayers... I prayed for a true friend and here he is..
Really thank God for Willy.. Without him, I would still be stuck in darkness.. It was him who showed me that friendship is something I can still fight for, still seek for..

Thank you Willy

Tis The Season To Be Jolly!

Christmas

2008-12-16T15:33:00.000+08:00

YAY! Christmas is coming! Really excited..
Gonna be broke soon.. so many people to buy presents for..

Seriously, some people ask me "Clarence, why do you buy presents for people even when some don't buy any back for you?"

Well, Christmas is a season of giving.. It doesn't matter if the person gave me anything or not because through the years, the things he/she has done for me means so much more than that few $$$!

Haha.. right now, kind of tight.. hope my friends won't mind the presents I'm getting for them..
Anyway, this year guess there is only 1 wish I would have that costs money and that is

SPONSORSHIP FOR SOT 2009!

Haha.. What an expensive wish right? lol.. Well.. Must dream big and wish big.. Oh well, back to work now..

Pageant With A Purpose

2008-10-20T11:16:00.004+08:00

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.

Heart

2008-10-15T01:15:00.003+08:00

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..

Glory to Glory!

2008-10-06T22:47:00.004+08:00

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..

So Many Things

2008-09-28T20:32:00.001+08:00

Man.. so many things have been happening.. Just this week, the cell group went for mass haircut session.. haha.. It was really kind of funny but in the process, really see the members looking so much sharper and so much better... Now, all so Shuai le! Haha..

Anyway, for my hair, got a major problem.. It's too healthy that it doesn't absorb the hair wax.. My hair cannot spike! It will just keep dropping down.. At first, thought it was because the wax not strong enough.. but today, when I use spray, also cannot stand! OMG! Haha.. Really need someone to bless me with a super glue wax le.. Haha..

Anyway, so many things to buy.. got so many birthdays coming up.. Oh man.. And I haven gotten my new bag yet.. Ahh! Building fund is coming somemore.. Think I'm gonna go sell some stuff.. Haha..

IcyKing can't wait for Arise and Build!

Happy Ice

2008-09-22T00:45:00.001+08:00

YAY! I'm So HAPPY!!!

My walk with God is growing so much stronger and closer.. And He never fails to amaze me even with the smallest thing..

Truely as I walk with God, life gets so exciting.. It is really so much happier and better compared to my old boring life whereby I just stay at home and do nothing.. Or go out with friends and wander around like some wandering spirit.. Truely, with God, life really takes a turn for the better and now, I feel so much happier!

YAY! HAPPY ICYKING! PRAISE THE LORD!

Joycelyn

2008-09-15T07:33:00.002+08:00

Really wanna thank Joycelyn...

When I was at my lowest, she came into my life and took it for a 180 degrees turn.. I was walking with God in doubt, and everything I did was like a routine to me but she has never for any minute, given up hope on me...

Without her constant guidance and love, I won't be able to rise up to where I am right now.. Without her prayers, I won't be able to have such great revelations from God and such anoiting.. Truely, this woman of faith has brought my spiritual level up to the next level..

I really wanna thank God for placing such a great and mighty sister beside me.. She has constantly encouraged me along the way and has never once given up hope on me.. Even when I had small quarrels with her, she never once look down on me but kept praying for me..

There are times whereby she is busy with her school work, work and family but she never stop being there for me when I needed her..

Indeed she is really a woman of great capacity..

I believe God would really use her as a mighty vessel and I believe with all my heart that she would become a great servant of God..

Joycelyn, you have really impacted my life and I thank God for having such a great connect group leader like you.. YOU ROCK!

Happy Birthday

2008-09-15T00:47:00.001+08:00

Happy Birthday Lester Bro!

Rising Up

2008-09-12T12:58:00.000+08:00

For the longest time, I've always had the feeling to be a Backup Vocalist (BV)... To be able to stand beside Annabel and Praise and Worship God..

Being in the choir is great but I believe I can do more... I don't just want to be a choir member that only serves when service starts.. I want to be able to sing for Prayer Meetings, for Altar call and so on..

I want to serve God more!!!!!!

That's why, I have a dream.. And that is to be a backup vocalist.. I know the journey will be tough.. But I believe God will deliver me through

Great Day

2008-09-07T21:09:00.003+08:00

Today like any regular sunday, I went to church and they sang a new song called "Amazing Grace"... It is a rewritten version of the old Amazing Grace and it really touched my heart...

Anyway, today Pastor Tan preached about something which really convicted my heart.. It's about getting rid of the negative thoughts. For me, I have been a very negative person in the past ( can ask Vincent ) but as years pass by, the glory and teachings of God has really transformed me to really start thinking positively... I believe that one day, negativity would not be in my dictionary!
Haha.. but that was not the main sermon though.. The main sermon was about changing the way we think about who we are in God, what is important to God and our giving to God...
All these sermon outlines might seem to affect only believers but in fact, as I apply what I learn in these sermons, I grow to become a better person and a person who knows how to handle different situations in life..

Well, after service was done, had the GS and CL test that has been pending for like eternity.. Haha.. But the dreaded part was, I did not study for it.. Hope I would not be the first person in CHC history to fail.. Haha.. But yea, the question were rather tricky and in the end, it became more of like a English test paper.. haha...

Soon, the cell group went to Funan and ate at Pastamania.. We met up with my long lost brother - Julius! and we just chatted for awhile.. He wanted to get some games so in the end, we went games and laptop accessories hunting..

As time passes by, it was soon time for me to meet up with my bros - Aswin and Shawn..
We went to celebrate Shawn's belated birthday and ate at a place called "Pizza Place".. Well, despite the name of the shop, we did not order pizza as our main dish..

My order = Meatball Linguini

I have no idea what Aswin ordered =x

Shawn's order = Chicken and Mushroom Baked Rice

After eating, we ordered 1 personal pan pizza which was kind of small.. Haha.. But it tasted quite nice.. Anyway, we soon departed and went home as all of us were tired..
Gonna go Kbox with them one day :D YAY! Haha.. but for now, gonna save up for my shoes, clothes and a new bag.. unless got people wanna bless me.. Haha..

YAY! Oh ya.. Lastly, Good Luck Bro Lester For Your Prelims =)

Not As Strong

2008-09-03T23:22:00.005+08:00

AHHH MY BAG SPOIL!

3rd Day of FYP

Great Night

2008-09-02T00:18:00.004+08:00

Today is probably one of the greatest nights I've ever had since like almost forever.. Haha..

I feel such a great sense of achievement because I made an effort to be there for 2 of my greatest buddies..
Seeing as to how much they trusted me by telling me what had happened, I really felt very honored that I could be there for them.. Though we are not in the same cell group, my friendship with them has really grown so much stronger..

Recently, we've been hanging out more and the love they have shown me is really something I've never truely experienced before..

3 of us might have never been together in the same cell group but they know me better than even the closest person I have.. We share everything because we really trust each other and that is one of the most important thing in friendship - TRUST..

They really see me for who I am and really love me for who I am.. Their support in my walk with God is much appreciated and truely, they have faith to see that I am a person who is strong... unlike most people who tend to think that I'm weak because I'm a person who is more emotional..

Anyway, as I was in the train just now, God just told me "Well done Clarence. You did a great thing today".. The words that were spoken forth was so edifying and I really feel super great now..

Anyway, just wanna wish a few people Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Shawn Bro!

Happy Birthday Aaron Breakdancer!

Happy Birthday Princess Cheryl!

Happy Birthday Brother!

God Bless All of You :D Enjoy Your Day!

I Have No Idea What Title I Should Put

2008-08-26T22:19:00.002+08:00

This month is probably the hardest month for me to get through..
Yes, God has been speaking to me.. That is probably the only good thing that I've experienced this whole month..

I'm sure many of you know, the thing I hold dearest is "Friendship".. Past few weeks, friendship has not been working out for me..

Everytime when I'm out with you guys, I'm like there because I'm supposed to not because you want me to.. That is the feeling I'm getting..

When we first started, we were so close.. so bonded.. but now, yes you guys are still so ever close but I'm no longer part of this picture.. You might see that nothing is happening but that is because you are not the one undergoing what I'm feeling..

I thought I found true friendship that will last forever but I guess in the end, no matter how close you are with someone, the friendship will eventually fade away.. Probably it is not them, it is me who has the problem..

In the past, my mind and emotions tend to contradict each other but everytime, I choose the positive one.. Right now, my mind and emotions are both telling me the same negative things..
I dunno how to continue walking on.. God please help me..

Some people might ask, then why don't you confront them and tell them how you feel? Well, all I can say is, I'm fearful.. because for the past few times I feel that, and I spoke it out, all they said was I'm thinking too much.. Some even said "then I think you should not treat me as someone so close"

I don't want to voice it out is also because I don't want the friendship to turn into a sympathy act..

God, you say Love is powerful.. I don't feel it anymore..

Timing

2008-08-19T21:46:00.002+08:00

Haiz.. This is probably the first time I started my blog with a sigh..

Today, as usual, went for morning prayer.. Felt great during the prayer... Full of energy and strength.. God's presence was so tangible also.. I've never regretted going for morning prayer..

Anyway, after the prayer, went to Riverwalk with Lester, Joycelyn and Guo Jun.. The 3 of them were studying and I went there to slack while time passes.. At around 11am, left and it was raining heavily.. Ran to the MRT station drench..

After the whole thing, started feeling a little sick but I didn't bother about it.. Met Vincent and Jinglong for lunch at KFC and after that, we went to watch a movie "Journey to the Centre of the Earth" I must say, the show is kind of nice.. Effects were great...

After the whole movie, we went for desert and I headed over to Vincent's house for a nap and to pass the time because 7:30pm, I have choir practice..

When I woke up, it was 7:30pm already.. Choir has started and I did not make it there.. I felt really down because I was supposed to be there rehersing for the performance.. This was a great opportunity for me to really overcome my stage fright.. It was also a great time for me to really rise up and know more people in choir.. I feel so miserable after missing the practice and I feel that I let my IC down...

Oh well, I believe God has a greater plan for me.. Probably the time isn't right yet...

What Clarence Means

2008-08-14T16:08:00.001+08:00

Hosanna

2008-08-12T22:47:00.002+08:00

This song is so amazing.. Just this song alone has made me tear so many times..
This song has given me revelations upon revelations and it has convicted my heart so many times..

Especially this line "Everything I am for Your Kingdom's cause"
Now, everytime when I do something, I know I do it with a purpose because everything I do, it is for His kingdom and His glory.. This has motivated me to really step out of my comfort zone and to really pursue something greater in life..

I believe, there is a song for everyone.. This is not the only song that will touch my life.. I believe there are more to come :D

HOSANNA by Hillsong

I SEE THE KING OF GLORY
COMING ON THE CLOUDS WITH FIRE
THE WHOLE EARTH SHAKES
THE WHOLE EARTH SHAKES

I SEE HIS LOVE AND MERCY
WASHING OVER ALL OUR SIN
THE PEOPLE SING
THE PEOPLE SING

HOSANNA
HOSANNA
HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST
HOSANNA
HOSANNA
HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST

I SEE A GENERATION
RISING UP TO TAKE THEIR PLACE
WITH SELFLESS FAITH

I SEE A NEAR REVIVAL
STIRRING AS WE PRAY AND SEEK
WE'RE ON OUR KNEES
WE'RE ON OUR KNEES

HEAL MY HEART AND MAKE IT CLEAN
OPEN UP MY EYES TO THE THINGS UNSEEN
SHOW ME HOW TO LOVE LIKE YOU HAVE LOVED ME
BREAK MY HEART FOR WHAT BREAKS YOURS
EVERYTHING I AM FOR YOUR KINGDOM'S CAUSE
AS I WALK FROM EARTH INTO ETERNITY

Morning Prayer

2008-08-12T20:50:00.002+08:00

Wow... The past 2 days of morning prayer has been really great..
It is really different when you pray in the morning and submit the whole day to God..
Morning prayer has really changed my life for these 2 days.. Though it is at 7am, I feel that I am so refreshed and strengthened..

Usually, I won't get up so early but like what Pastor said.. If you are excited about something, you would get up early because you wanna be there early.. and I have been getting up super early for the past 2 days because I'm super excited! Haha

Anyway, as I submit the day to God, the whole day has been great and His presence filled me each and every moment.. Revelations have been coming and my relationship with my fellow Bros and Sis in Christ has grown so much stronger..

As I place God first, He truely does fulfill the desires of my heart.. Praise the Lord for his faithfulness and for His Love :D

Great Day

2008-08-09T19:39:00.002+08:00

Wow.. Today was a really great day for me.. Early in the morning, the N233 bros, ZhengYang, Wenglok, Vincent, Lester, Julius and I went to Prata House for breakfast...

Been a super long time since I met Julius and he really changed alot in terms of figure.. Haha.. more muscular and of course, he slim down so much... Anyway, the morning fellowship was really great.. The N233 bros never fail to make my day.. Everyone of them so positive, so great and of course, being close brothers, we could talk about anything and there were no secrets kept among us.. I really love hanging out with them.. :D

After that, Lester and I headed for cell group and on the bus, saw the Olympics, women bodybuilders.. WOW! They were like sooooo muscular.. I think they can just choke slam me.. Haha.. Kind of scary..

Soon, went for cell group and we started with games.. And Jeremy SABO ME! So evil.. So, in the end, hehehe, I sabo him back :P .. Well worse was HanYong.. Got sabo by Joseph.. Haha.. In the end, his whole face was filled with toothpaste, all thanks to Geraldine..

Everything went great and soon, Praise and Worship time... YAY! Today we sang one of my favourite songs "I Surrender All".. The presence of God filled my heart.. And when Joseph started preaching, I felt that the word was so relevant to what I was going through.. God is indeed so wonderful and faithful..

Now, seeing my brothers all rising up in their own calling, I feel so convicted to rise up as well.. To do more for God.. And as I step out to do more for God, He has been so wonderful to me as well.. I really never regretted doing so much for God..

God is great and no one can compare to Him.. Praise the Lord!

Happy Birthday

Festival Of Praise (FOP)

2008-08-05T10:58:00.003+08:00

Wee! !! ! ! ! ! !! Haha.. Well, past few nights have been amazing.. FOP was really fun.. Let's see now..

Day 1 (1 Aug 2008)
Opening night on a friday.. Queued for quite long I must say... Probably everyone is excited.. This year, there are 140 participating churches.. That's really alot.. God is indeed gathering the body of Christ together..
Anyway, the first night was really amazing.. First time I heard the "Parachute Band" performing and they are really great.. Of course not to forget Ruben Morgan and the Hillsong band that came as well.. Really love their singing..
The highlight of my day was when we sang "Hosanna".. The girl who sang it OWNED the song! She took my breath away.. She was awesome! Beautiful with a great voice and can play the guitar! Man.. I was mesmerized! but of course, I did not forget to worship the Lord.. Haha..

Rev. Mark Conner soon came out and preached forth a very powerful word.. It was about "The Ingredients of the Early Churches".. Really powerful.. And his preaching is really very Zai! Superb.. Really caught my attention and when he preached finish, it seemed like time passes so fast because all of us were having fun!

We then ended off with some praise and worship again and we headed to eat tao huay! haha.. Karen, Jinglong, Joycelyn, Samuel and me.. and when the clock strikes 12, we sang happy birthday to Jinglong while crossing the road! lol.. Legend! Anyway, that summarises day 1... :D

Day 2 (2 August 2008)
Started my day with cell group meeting at 11am.. Almost could not wake up on time due to lack of sleep on the previous day but thank God I manage to wake up..
Headed to cell group meeting and was really glad to have Joseph back and preaching to us.. Anyway, the message was about "Keeping the Faith".. Really impacted me because on the same day, I asked God, "How can I continue walking with you" and the message was preached forth.. It was so amazing..

Soon, cell group ended and all of us headed down to Kallang.. Oh and 1 scary thing is, I have been eating Subway for almost the whole week.. Kind of afraid of bread now.. Lol..

Anyway, on the way, had some disputes with my bro Lester.. Well, shall not go into details about that but even the best of brothers quarrel.. So I ended up quite emotional on that day and a few of them noticed it.. Came up to me and talk to me about it but I wasn't able to really let go...

We soon queued up and it was uber hot.. Stood there and waited for eternity.. Lol.. and finally when we got in, we rushed for our seats and everyone enjoyed the best invention ever-Air con.. Lol..

Before the whole event started, a pastor came forth and shared a word..
Psalm 133
1 How good and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in unity!
2 It is like precious oil poured on the head,
running down on the beard,
running down on Aaron's beard,
down upon the collar of his robes.
3 It is as if the dew of Hermon
were falling on Mount Zion.
For there the LORD bestows his blessing,
even life forevermore.

When I saw the word "Brothers live together in unity!" I was so convicted.. In the end, I just sms him and said I was sorry..
It does not really matter who was in the wrong.. If you see that the friendship you have is more important than anything else, then why don't you salvage it and make it better?

Anyway, same usual thing happened.. Singing, praising and worshipping God but His presence was stronger than ever...
Rev. Mark Conner preached forth yet another strong word.. "Growing Old or Growing Up".. In some sense, people do grow old but still remain so childish at times.. The message really talks about responsibilty and it really convicted me.. It also talks about how people keep thinking about the negative things in their brain.. It is like watching a bad movie with surround sound and they movie is looping.. lol..

Well, after the whole thing, went to eat with the cell group and a few other friends at Newton Circus! Wooo.. And I was like super broke but they all treated me to eat.. Really not easy to find friends like them.. Feel so blessed although I did not really show it.. :D

Day 3 (3 August 2008)
Today's event was like a concert! lol.. First off Pastor Kong came back! YAY! Haha.. When he came out, everyone kept shouting.. He is a really very great, powerful, charismatic, anoited person.. too many good points.. can't name all.. lol..

Anyway, Rev. Mike Conner preached again! YAY! Sooo cool.. Love his preaching.. So fun.. This time, the word was "Living in Light of Eternity".. Even the title sounds so cool.. Haha... It's about values of the world and eternal values.. Really a great word.. I feel so blessed by the word he shared during the past 3 days.. Really impacted my life...

Well, we ended off we alot of praise and worship.. I jump till my leg super pain.. Sweat like crazy even when i'm in an air-conned room.. But it was fun.. Really fun! And the last part, we sang "ONE WAY" Wooo... lol..

Seeing the whole body of Christ so united.. Everyone praising and worshipping God with their heart, body and soul.. I feel so happy to be in this family.. Though alot of things have happened to me, everytime when I praise and worship God, my feelings would elevate.. God has never let me down... And He has always been there to comfort me.. I really feel so fortunate to have Him in my life..

Lost My Voice

2008-07-31T12:28:00.002+08:00

Oh my goodness... I screamed during Emerge, ET zone camp, Cell Group and Service but I have never lost my voice..! Now, I never even do anything and I lost my voice for no reason! Haha.. Maybe I should scream more to retain my voice! Lol... Anyway, can't sing for a while.. Oh well, luckily it is FOP so I don't have to serve..

Looking forward to the event! Can't wait to have a great time with God.. How awesome is it to have all Christians in Singapore together in an event! So Cool!

I Surrender All

2008-07-28T10:52:00.004+08:00

This song has really impacted my life.. Just like what the song title says, I surrender all of me to Jesus..
The lyrics of this song is so meaningful.. Really spoke to my heart and convicted me...

I SURRENDER ALL-TRUE WORSHIPPER

THANK YOU FOR THE CROSS THAT YOU HAVE PAID
FOR ALL MY SINS YOU'VE SACRIFICED YOURSELF
I AM NOTHING LORD WITHOUT YOUR GRACE
YOU WERE THERE TO LIFT ME WHEN I FAILED

AS I LIFT MY HANDS
POUR YOUR MERCY O GOD
I'M LONGING FOR YOUR PRESENCE NOW
AS I LIFT MY HANDS
POUR YOUR MERCY O GOD
I'M LONGING FOR YOUR PRESENCE NOW

I SURRENDER ALL AND I WILL FOLLOW YOU
I SURRENDER ALL AND BRING MY LIFE TO YOU
I SURRENDER ALL AND LIVE MY LIFE FOR YOU
I SURRENDER ALL, I SURRENDER ALL
(TO YOU JESUS)

Regrets

2008-07-28T02:32:00.004+08:00

Right now, my mind is in a whirl.. If it was my past personality, I think I would make a big fuss out of that small thing.. But right now, thank God I've changed.. Now, even though I'm still kind of angry, I know that our friendship is more important than this small thing..

Some stuff you might think its fun but it might not be fun to others.. Some stuff you might think its nothing but to another person, it might mean the whole world..
Everything, even to the smallest word, has a different impact on someone's life.. So once you see something is not right, try to salvage it before it turns worse... Because once it becomes worse, you might start regretting what you did..

I guess to me, i'm more of feeling left out when things like that happen..

PS: It has nothing to do with Vincent so don't ask.. We used to quarrel alot but not anymore :D

Singing

2008-07-24T21:47:00.003+08:00

I guess, everyone who knows me, also knows I love to sing.. Recently, friends have been asking me.. Clarence, why don't you join singing competitions?

In the past, people commented on my singing to be great.. Friends even said that when I sing English songs, it can be comparable to some of the American Idol contestants.. I was really happy with praises like these but I always felt empty inside..

After I became a Christian, most of the time I only sing Christian songs.. Now, I'm in the choir.. And I sing even more Christian songs.. My music life has been totally transformed..

But through all these, I have never once regretted what I did..

In the past, I sing without a purpose.. I only sing to prove myself worthy and sing because I love it.. But now, I have a greater purpose in singing.. I sing because I want my songs to touch the lives of the people I know.. I sing to proclaim the greatness of God and I sing because God is worthy to be praised! Through the songs, the lyrics, people can see how great God is...

My friends might fail to see this part of my life but its ok.. Because I don't sing for anyone else.. People can criticize my singing or even praise but only God's opinion really matters to me.. Given 1 wish, I would not wish for greater vocals but I'll wish to be able to sing to God every single day of my life..

I have alot of friends in my life.. But friends who would understand and really take a step of faith and believe what I'm doing and what I'm all for is only but a handful.. People come and go in my life.. People say they are my friends... Well, if you really are my friend? You would trust me and take this step of faith to know what I'm all for and what I'm all about.. Isn't that so?

Right now, I'm really glad to be in the choir.. and every week as I step into church, I feel so much happier because I know that the 5 bros are doing all we can to serve God in the greatest possible way we can.. Each of us serving God in a different way.. Lester (Security), Wenglok (Usher), ZhengYang (Chorus Board), Vincent (Drama), Clarence (Choir).. Seeing how my 4 bros have been rising up in church, I feel so proud of them and hope that one day, we would be able to bring the church, our cell group and our school to the next level.. I believe God can use us in a mighty way..

GREAT IS OUR GOD

YOUR GREATNESS HAS NO BOUNDARIES
MY HEART IS FILLED WITH PRAISE
YOU GAVE YOUR LIFE TO SAVE ME
AND I WON'T DENY IT

I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL
TO YOU THE HIGHEST PRAISE
I AM A CHILD OF GOD
NO I WON'T DENY IT
NO I WON'T DENY IT

GREAT IS OUR GOD
GREAT IS OUR GOD
MAKE HIS PRAISE LOUD
MAKE IT LOUD
MAKE IT LOUD

NO I WONT DENY IT
NO I WON'T DENY IT

GREAT IS OUR GOD YEAH HE REIGNS FOREVER

Well, I was in the bus going home after Bible study.. Suddenly while I was listening to some Christian songs using my mp3 player, God spoke to me..
I quickly took out a notebook and pen and wrote it down..
He amazed me as he told me these few words

Zealous & Victorious, We Live for Christ

It forms with the initials of the 5 bros..
ZhengYang, Vincent, Wenglok, Lester, Clarence...
And soon, 5 other words came

ZhengYang

Wenglok
Clarence
Lester
Vincent

Loving God wholeheartedly, loving people fervently

Clarence

Water Baptism

2008-07-23T10:12:00.010+08:00

WOOOO! On 20 July 2008, a few of my bros got water baptised! Yay! Well, like normal sundays, went to church in the morning.. The word by Pastor Tan was great! We sang "All things new" for so many times.. Haha..

After that, headed down to Jurong West St 91 for the water baptism ceremony! The bros, ZhengYang, WengLok and Me, went to support our fellow ET zone members and of course Vincent!

Really very proud of him because he has undergone so much just to get baptised.. Seeing how perservere on whenever his parents rejected made me feel so convicted.. And in the end, he won! His parents let him get water baptised! Praise the Lord!

Another 2 bros, Aswin and Shawn was getting baptised too.. Really very proud of each of them.. Seeing how much faith they have and now all 3 of them are reborned!

Anyway, took a few pics on that day.. Not all sent to me yet so here are a few of it.. :D

This is my 15 minutes masterpiece! Enjoy!

The Prata House

2008-07-15T09:21:00.003+08:00

Hey! Yesterday night around 9:30pm, got a call from Lester that the N233 guys gonna go Supper! Haha.. We met up and they gave me a lift there...

Vincent, Wenglok, Lester and I were there...

While we were on our way, we decided to get ZhengYang some prata because he could not go.. So we made plans like to throw the prata into his house then call him on his phone to open his door.. Haha.. alot of lame ways of delivering..

When we reached, we sort of waited awhile for our food and to our surprise, ZhengYang appeared! OMG! Haha... He came out to join us for prata.. There goes our delivery plans.. Haha...

When our food arrived, the curry spilt on Wenglok's jeans which was like super ex! He kept saying want discount but we preached what we learn and that is that we are royalty.. lol...
Kept talking about the things of the past, the fun we had when we were in N233.. Really miss those days..

After chatting for quite a long while, we decided to head home early to catch the bus.. Cab was getting too ex for us.. :(

Anyway, really happy that the bond between us is growing stronger each and every day.. I used to have no true friends and now I have so many... Indeed, God is a great God and He is indeed faithful :D

Exciting Week

2008-07-14T02:20:00.005+08:00

Wow.. This week has been really exciting.. Last sunday, after service, saw 2 brothers, Aswin and Shawn.. 3 of us were wearing different vest.. How cool is that.. So we decided to take a photo.. Haha..

Anyway, heard the news that both of them getting water baptised on the 20th July 2008.. Together with another best bro of mine, Vincent.. It's gonna be a great day for them and for me.. Really very happy to see 3 brothers of mine getting water baptised.. God is indeed doing a great miracle in our lives..

On monday, we had our NYP CHC prayer meeting.. we had so many trials, lost the place we initially had to pray in, some members did not turn up also.. Kind of felt dejected but as we took a step of faith, God was indeed faithful.. When we prayed, His presence was so strong and tangible.. Really superb... Really happy to start my week and to commit my week to God..

On tuesday, I went for my choir practice and it was so fun! The presence of God was once again so strong and tangible.. There were holy laughter and deliverance on that day.. God is indeed moving in a mighty way!

On wednesday, went for bible class at Riverwalk.. Everyone else was like in FT1 and I had to repeat VL because I missed quite a few lessons.. Was kind of lonely at first but God spoke to me and said,

"If today, any of your friends stayed back and went VL with you, then they are putting you first instead of Me.. Do you want that to happen? Why do you want your friends to slow down in their walk with Me?"

When I heard that, I was so convicted and God challenged me to really listen to what the preacher was saying and to really learn His word.. At the end of the day, I learned alot.. and I felt a sense of achievement.. Although I'm now slower behind, it is never about how I start the race but on how I end it.. And I believe that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.. ! Amen!

Soon, friday came.. Really proud of Jinglong.. Bringing him to church was kind of tough but when I saw how much he is doing for God, I know that those tough times were worth it.. He took a step and went to print and design the songsheet.. Really very happy to see him growing so much.. He recently got 2 friends integrated into our church as well.. God is indeed making use of him and growing his capacity.. Very proud of this member of mine.. Really hope to see him becoming a mightier and greater vessel of God!

Saturday came and we went to Lusi's place for cell group.. It was kind of great but guess everyone sort of missed Joseph.. Awww.. Anyway, really wanna thank Steph for standing in the gap to take the cell group and to really minister to our needs..
Apart from her, I believe the connect group leaders did a wonderful job as well.. They are really standing in the gap and doing all they can.. They step out of their comfort zone and rised up to the occasion.. They are so awesome! People of such great capacity.. Lester and Karen really showed me what Leadership really means..
Anyway, after everything, we went to meet Timo for supper.. Prata! Haha.. Lester, Jeremy and I shared a XL mutton murtubak and they had to place it on a tray! Haha.. Really super big.. Shall post it when I got the picture.. Haha.. We had such an enjoyable time fellowshipping..

Sunday and its time for service! Once again, I went on stage as the choir had to sing.. This time, we had 1 new praise and 1 new worship song.. As we sang the new songs, we really enjoyed ourselves.. There was this new praise song and we had to fly like birds.. so cool.. something different.. Oh ya and there was a guitar solo as well.. Our church has really gone up to a whole new level.. Pastor Kong is finally back to preach and the word today was great! God is indeed bringing our church from glory to glory, from strength to strength..

The whole week, I feel that my capacity has been stretched quite alot.. Though now I'm not feeling well, I am still happy to see my fellow Brothers and Sisters growing so much with the Lord! I believe that we can all make a difference! Amen!

Praise the Lord for such a great week.. I believe the weeks to come will be even greater!

Recent Happenings

2008-07-06T21:24:00.002+08:00

Well, recently not that I don't wanna post.. But people never send me the photos! Lol..

Ok.. where to start.. Let's see..
27 June 2008
Celebrated my friend, Ivan's birthday today.. Went to his chalet.. All I did for the longest time was I kept cooking.. lol.. Expected from an F & N student :D.. Anyway, the highlight of the night was when Derek went over to the gang and told them that we were going to surprise Ivan with the cake and told everyone to cooperate.. But he did not know that when he was saying that, Ivan was just right beside him.. Haha..

Alot of funny things happened.. Guo Dong got drunk and kept saying some funny stuff.. Cynthia went around bashing people.. Lol.. All the people who can't hold their liquor..

In the end, both puked and it was up to the Ah Gong to clear up the mess... They better get me a big present next year for doing so many dirty work for them..

Anyway, we stripped Ivan till his boxers and woke up everyone with our loud laughter.. The funniest thing was, after all the commotion, Vincent was still sound asleep.. Lol..

Happy Birthday Ivan

28-29 June 2008
Primary School Chalet! YAY!..
Been a long time since I met up with the gang.. Was really happy to see some old faces whom I have lost contact with like Sip Haw, Keri and JingSian..

We went to eat Pizza hut.. so cool.. For dinner.. Sadly, my time spent there was not very long... Aww... Anyway, we played "007" game and had a time of our life playing it.. Though the game was simple, we enjoyed it because everyone was so enthusiastic about it.. Haha.. Saboing each other was great!..

Then we headed to the arcade and played this game whereby you have to kill ghost with this hammer thing.. Our arms were really sore after that but the game was really fun..

Soon, we went back and I fell asleep.. Need to serve in church the next morning and thank God, they understand and let me sleep "soundly".. Haha..

5 July 2008
Wow! Today is Joseph and Emily's Matrimony! YAY!
Went early in the afternoon to help out as a PA... Helped move the chairs and everything.. Really glad that Joseph chose me to help out.. He has been like my spiritual father since the day I joined church and I feel so honored to have him as a Cell group leader.. Serving him on this special day meant so much to me..

As we finished moving everything out, the event started and Emily walked in the alse.. Really poised and gracious, her beauty stunned everyone.. I am so happy for them... We watched a video on their childhood, BGR and proposal.. It was so touching and it made everyone go "awww".. Haha.. Soon, the ceremony began and Pastor Derek ministered to them.. As the process went on, I was so happy.. It was really a time whereby true love was in the air...

Anyway, after the whole thing was done, we took some photos and the highlight was taking photos as N233! Woooo! Missed the gang.. When Lucas called for N233, it was like as though a swarm of bees charged inside.. lol.. so many people!

Joseph, thank you for everything you have done for me.. Encouraging me and pulling me up whenever I fall..

Congratulations Joseph and Emily KWEK!

Today
Well, today went to celebrate one of my bro's birthday.. Ivan Lee! Wooo... or should I say, Ivan Nai! lol..

Anyway, before that, went out with the cell group to suki sushi for buffet.. Cost me a bomb man! But it was cool because for the first time, the cell group really bonded during fellowship.. :D

Was gorging down food like nobody's business.. and the rest keep placing the food they can't finish onto my side of the table.. Now, I have a "prosperous" belly! Haha.. like Lester's =x

Ok.. enough about this topic on me gorging down food like some monster.. lol..

As I was saying, met up Ivan and Darwin at 4pm @ PS! Haha.. went to Pastamania to eat and for the first time, I ordered Peach Italian Soda.. did not even know they serve that there... lol..
After the meal, we headed down to Far East as Ivan wanted to show me where to get clothes for choir.. Haha.. but now, im too broke to even buy anything.. So, gonna save up first..

Nothing much of a celebration.. but gonna meet up with him again to chill :D
Really wanna thank God for a bro like him.. Happy Birthday Bro!

Hati Hamba

2008-06-23T23:02:00.002+08:00

Wow... our church is really great! Was looking for the song hati hamba and i came upon this youtube video.. It is our own church choir team singing the song in Japanese! How great is that!

Brothers of Christ

2008-06-20T00:44:00.014+08:00

Today, I did some thinking... So many things have been happening in my life... some good, some bad... but no matter what happens, for so many years, friends have been by my side, cheering me on and rooting for me... Supporting and encouraging me all these years... We quarrel, we fight but in the end, our friendship is so strong that it overcame all boundaries... because love does not just occur in BGR, it occurs in friendship as well... and there are occasions whereby the love in friends can be stronger than BGR...

I have always had friends but lasting ones? I don't think I have any till now... Friends in primary school don't really contact each other anymore... Secondary school is said to have the strongest bond but well, we also don't contact anymore... Poly, well everyone is busy gaming, working and no one really understands how I feel...In these 3 chapters of school life, I have a lot of friends... Great friends I might add... but not to the extend whereby they really encourage me or really understand me and love me for who I really am... In this cruel society, everyone is wearing a mask so that they can get accepted... Everyone wants to be in the "popular" group but is it really worth becoming someone you are not?
Up till now, there is only a group of people I can really trust which are from my school...

Primary --> Xin Zhan
Secondary --> Chan Meng, Shi Hao, Li Jan, Cheryl
Polytechnic --> Aw Yew Joe, Derek, Benjamin, HanMing, Jingru, YongYi

The rest, yes we have fun outside but friendship is more than just having fun together...My life was really bitter because sometimes I really dunno who I can confide in... Until the day Vincent brought me to City Harvest Church... It was the day that really changed my life... As the days go by, I found people I could really share my burdens with... People who accepted me for who I am and people who constantly encourage me... People who support me with no strings attached... It is there where I had my first group of close brothers...

Vincent, Wenglok, ZhengYang, Lester...

The 4 of them are my pillars... They constantly help me up whenever im down... I know that I can trust in them and we know that whatever happens, we can confide each other... We have no secrets among each other and they are really the closest people I have... The love I have for them is something that nothing can destroy...
Soon, came in a new batch of friends...

HanYong, Ivan, Aswin, Shawn Kun, Darwin...

These 5 brothers, although the time spent with them is short, but the love I have for them is strong... Each one of them possess different charisma in them...and in short, they are really fun people... haha... They never fail to cheer me up and whenever im down, they would come and talk to me to see how I am... I don really know them that well but they went the extra mile to know how I was feeling... It is through them that I found agape love...

In Choir! I have like a good buddy - Brynner Know him from auditioning.. He is really cool and though we only meet during serving and practice, I feel really comfortable talking to him and he has really made serving with God much more fun.. Through him, I know alot more members in choir and I really thank God that I was in the same auditioning group as him.. PS: He has a great voice!

Then I have my leader, Joseph... He is the one that I can really confide because his wisdom has always led me to make a good decision in my life... For as long as I remember, his advice has never once let me down... Though there are times whereby I don really agree with him, I still heeded his advice because I know that he would never say anything to harm me on purpose... His encouragement and praises have always brought me to have a sense of achievement and I can never stop thanking him for guiding me through so many obstacles...

And lastly, my best friend Jesus... Even when I was still a free thinker, Jesus spoke to me and encouraged me... It is just that I did not listen and my heart was cold... I always thought it was my own imagination... Even though I was not a Christian in the past, God showered me with His love and affection... Guiding me through my daily life, protecting me... When I became a Christian, His love was so tangible... Flowing in His presence, my life changed so much... I became a positive person... My attitude changed and my character changed as well...Willing to take up challenges and willing to change for the better... I soon saw a vision... a goal I could work towards... He brought upon a meaning in my life... I began to do things with a greater heart...doing things for a greater cause... His songs, His love, His guidance, His encouragement and His words...all impacted my life so greatly... Even when I left Him, He still showered me with the same amount of love... Never once giving up on me, never once letting go because He cares for me... No one in this world can ever compare to the love He has showered upon my life... Because God is faithful...

Till today, I know that God still loves me and it is because of Him that now I have brothers with me... Brothers who will stand by me through thick and thin... Without him, I would not be who I am today... Without him, life would never be the same again...

Really wanna thank God for the love He has showered upon my life... Thank You Jesus =)

Camp Phenomena!

2008-06-12T10:33:00.006+08:00

Woohoo! Just reached home from camp on wed noon.. Was so tired that I slept for soooooo long.. Haha... Anyway, here's what happened

1st Day
We played some really great games.. Too many and I forgot the game names.. Haha.. But they were so cool.. Really bonded the whole team together... We then had some cool workshops on how to behave in a cell group, how to praise and worship, how to share testimonial, how to act in drama and how to preach... Lester preached on that day and I felt it was super great! Great Job Lester! After that, it came to the night time.. We had Praise and Worship and soon was the preaching of the word.. After that was what everyone was awaiting.. THE LAYING OF HANDS! I feel under the presence of God 3 times! It was really great!

Soon, night came and we went to play "Heroes and Heroins".. Our mission was to find different super heroes and complete a task to learn their skills in order to fight with the other teams... It was so cool as the leaders dressed up like the various super hero! There were "Ryu, Cat-Woman, ChunLi, Indiana Jones, Superman, L, Rogue, Puah Chu Kang, Bruce Lee"..

After all the games and excitement, we settled down and helped our team-mates with their leading of praise and worship as there was going to be a mock cell group tomorrow.. At first, I was kind of disappointed because I wanted to lead either praise or worship but I was not chosen but it doesn't matter because I believe God has a better timing for me! After helping and all, we slept like 4am and had to wake up at 7:30am the next day... *Yawn*

2nd Day
Woke up at 7:30am and went down to do some morning exercises.. Soon we went to prepare our "lollipop" for "The Showdown"! After that we headed down for another session of preaching.. It was again great and made me learnt so much... We then had our mock cell groups and I felt that the people led so well.. The flow was great and it really felt like I was attending cell group itself.. Great job guys! We then had some games and the most disgusting one was having so move under the tables with Vinegar and chilli etc.. It was so gross but at the same time, it was so fun.. Haha...

Finally, "The Showdown"! Water bomb! Haha.. It was the highlight of everyone's day 2... We had some political discussions on who to attack first.. and after the 1st wave was done, everyone started attacking the leaders! Woohooo! Joseph, went to take the hose and spray all of us... Haha..

After dinner, we had the finale and I felt that my team did the best! Woohooo! Soon, it was preaching by bro Edmund again.. Though it was short, it was powerful..

This whole camp has brought me up yet to another level... The friends I've made were all so great... This camp really was Phenomena and it taught me how to step out of my comfort zone.. Really wanna thank the leaders for such a great camp.. This camp is my first ET zone camp and it brought me so many wonderful memories.. I believe the future camps would be better!

Narnia!

2008-06-07T21:21:00.002+08:00

Wow.. Today, Disney Channel was showing an old movie "Narnia, The Waredrobe, The Lion and The Witch"... At first, I found this show to be kind of boring but till this part, it really showed me a different side of the story..

In the story, there is a part where Asland (the Lion) exchanged himself to save Edmund (Son of Adam-Chosen one) from the white witch.. Asland's fur was then shed and finally, killed.. It reminded me on how Jesus sacrificed Himself to die naked on the cross to save us all from sin.. This unconditional love that showed the whole how much He cared for us even though time and again we still sin against God... Jesus did not just die for the Christians but He died for EVERYONE!...

At the end of the story, Asland was resurrected and he defeated the white witch.. It is just like Jesus.. He died and resurrected on the third day and is now seated at the right hand of the Father..

This show really reminded me how much Jesus has done for us... Whether we know it or not.. And it also brought back the hope in me.. Knowing that, no matter what troubles that killed me in the past, I know I can be resurrected to defeat that trouble because all things are possible through Christ who strengthens me.. and like the chosen children, I too am able to defeat the "white witches" in my life...

Praise the Lord for such a wonderful revelation =)

YAY DRIVING!

2008-05-14T15:08:00.002+08:00

Woohoo...! Today, went for my driving test.. BASIC THEORY TEST! Was so scared at first because I totally forgot about the test.. I went to register for the test during February and it is like 3 months later.. Really wanna thank God because so happen, I had nothing to do on the previous day hence I just felt led to go into my SSDC account to check and there it was, my test date.. If I did not check, I would have missed it and had to wait for like 2 more months... Whew.. Praise the Lord!

I barely read the book and approached Ivan for some advice on what was important and studied those.. In the end, when I went for the test, almost none of it came out! But even easier questions were asked! Woohoo! Within 15 minutes, I completed the whole test and I PASSED! 1 time passed! YAY!!!!

After that, I went to Plaza Singapura to meet Ivan, Zhi Feng, Derek and Kenny for a movie.. It was "What Happened in Vegas"... My first impression of the show was kind of low but when I watched it, it was so funny... Really a great show.. I rate it about 3.5 stars... One of the most unexpected and above average show I've watched.. Nowadays, the shows are all kind of lousy... So if you are looking for a good show, I recommand that show.. =)

Dye Hair

2008-05-01T07:43:00.005+08:00

Woah! 3 Days ago, went to dye hair at a place called Hoyu.. Guess what, it was FREE! Courtesy from my small bro, Jeff...

Well, as usual, Zhi Feng and Cynthia was late.. lol... Upon reaching, we walked here and there and found out we walked around the building we were supposed to go.. That wasted like so much time and it was so freaking hot that day that all of us perspired...

When we reached, I let the person choose the colour for me... Mine was ash + brown, Zhi Feng's was red + violet and Cynthia was dark blue + darker blue.. lol... Guess she had the monday blues... =x

The whole thing ended about 5pm and so we took around 3 hours... The whole process was kind of funny because there was a point of time, Zhi Feng looked like some typical ah beng and Cynthia looked like JingRu.. Haha..

After the whole thing, we went to Bugis to eat and to meet up with Javian, JingRu and HanMing.. We then proceeded to HanMing's place and played mahjong till around 11pm.. Took some photos and then we went home...

Disappointed

2008-04-24T16:58:00.002+08:00

Haiz.. Been in lack for so long.. like 2 years already.. During this 2 years, been finding a job like nobody's business... Came upon so many jobs like singing in a club for $30 / hr and so on.. but it was all in vain because I can't work in weekends.. Friends tell me "Clarence, why don't you just work? Don't go church lah!"... But I know, if I am without God, I will fall... God is my sanctuary, my solitude and comforter... My healer and my provider...

Recently, more things have been happening.. Having to go for medical checkup at Tan Tock Seng Hospital.. Seeing a Cardiologist (Heart Specialist) because of some health problems and each appointment even with subsidy is like $100+ .. Seeing my parents trying ways to save more money, my heart sank because I could not do anything to help out...

Furthermore, my friends got a job interview and they went ahead without me.. They did not even bother asking me if I wanted to go despite knowing I am looking for a job.. How disappointing is that.. With friends like this, why would I even need enemies.. Even normal friends will help a friend out, what more good friends..

Right now, I feel that my judgement is always wrong.. Everything happening around me is so wrong... I have no motivation to carry on walking in this broken down world... All the hatred, disappointment... No sense of love among people at all.. Even the new OGLs are starting to turn so cold..

Everyone is changing and it seems that it is for the worse...

Friendship

2008-04-15T21:09:00.002+08:00

After all that has happened for the past few weeks, kind of tired and weary.. Friends come and go in my life and usually, we seldom contact each other.. Probably because to them, I am just an ordinary friend..

In primary school , I have the 4 prefects, XinZhan as my friends who went through so much with me.. In secondary school, I have Chan Meng, Henry, Li Jan, June, Chin Hwee, Michelle, Shi Hao who spend time with me and really bonded with me.. All of them were my closest friends but once I went into poly, my friends slowly disappeared.. No longer asking me out, no longer contacting or talking.. The only time they call or message me is when they need my help..

Now, in poly, I know Vincent, Jeffrey and Cynthia.. One is my best friend, other one is like the small brother I never had.. As for Cynthia, well, she has been there for me alot of times and helped me alot.. Can't really describe her relationship with me.. Haha.. Too complicating.. All 3 of them are the world to me but I'm afraid because this is my final year and next would be NS.. I'm afraid that it would be like the past and they wouldn't contact me anymore..

Well, really wanna thank God because Vincent and I were actually in a quarrel.. To a point whereby our friendship was put on the line... Our friendship almost ended and I asked God, "God, You said you would give me a true friend.. You said you have already sent him to me.. But why is the friendship now ending? What is happening?"
At that moment, God just spoke to me "Clarence, why don't you ask him yourself?"
So I decided to call Vincent and praise the Lord, our friendship is saved and we understand each other so much better..

I guess what I'm trying to say is that, trials and tribulations are part and parcel of life.. But no matter what we go through, the promises of God will always stay true.. It is up to you to choose whether you wanna trust in God or not.. If I did not consult God for His help or if God did not tell me to ask Vincent, our friendship would have just ended like that..

I believe that everything happens for a reason.. After this incident, we can truely see who are those people who stood by us and believed in us when we were at our lowest point.. These are the people who really treat us as their friends

Dream

2008-04-13T23:44:00.003+08:00

Well, today I shall talk about Dreams.. Everyone of us have different dreams in our life.. But ultimately, we all have a major dream we want to fulfill... To some, it might be meeting someone important or someone they admire.. To others, it might be doing something they have always wanted.. And for me, probably the most ultimate one is to see my friends getting saved and of course to see my singing becoming better and better and having the chance to really shine for God with my voice..

When we pray for something, God does not just give the thing to us but He gives us the ability to obtain it.. Being in church for around 1 and a half years, I've seen many different kinds of people.. and have seen many situations whereby God blesses someone but that person does not do anything about it.. God works wonders in our lives but most of the time, we are too busy to notice the things that He has done for us.. We take things for granted..

For me, my vocals are not really very fantastic.. But by the grace of God, I manage to get into choir and I believe that from there, my skills will be moulded.. People have come up to me to praise my singing and some even criticize it.. But ultimately, it is the praise from God that I want and not anyone else's...

God has indeed created many opportunities for me to shine but most of the time, I'm just too afraid to sing due to my stage fright.. So I really thank God for putting me into choir because I would be able to overcome my stage fright from time to time..

Indeed, with a great dream, God will put people around you to help you realise that dream.. People who know of your dream and crushes it by doing it and not telling you or including you are people who are not your friend.. True friends will be people who help you realise your dream when they have the opportunity.. So if you meet someone who is a so called friend and that person crushes your dream, don't worry for God will place a mightier person beside you to help you.. Amen

Song Moment

2008-04-12T22:11:00.004+08:00

These are the 2 songs that really expresses how I feel..

What Is Happening?

2008-04-09T01:44:00.002+08:00

Haiz.. Past few years have been kind of great I guessed.. People change and stuff.. Today really wanna talk about how the person you are with can affect a change in you...

Nevermind, I don't really have the mood to post anyway.. I'm feeling so down that nothing seems important anymore.. I don't think I can ever trust my judgement again because I'm hurt too badly already..

Anyway, sorry for the lame random post that's not even completed.. and sorry for wasting your time to read this..

My Wonderful Small Bro

2008-04-03T22:58:00.003+08:00

Tiring day ahead of me... Today is yet the 2nd day of the OGL camp.. We played some new games and also the game "Poison River"... To me, I feel that it is one of the best bonding games ever. Soon, it started raining heavily and all of us got wet but we continued till there was a thunderstorm.. Due to the safety of everyone, the game was thus cancelled.. Awwww...

After that, the people started choosing their very own Orientation OIC, IC and the various group ICs.. Ok.. Let me introduce my small bro to all of you.. His name is Jeffrey and he is my OG but we are more like close brothers.. He is a really great guy but he was kind of disappointed for not getting chosen but I believe that there are greater things he can do.. So, don't be disappointed..

Anyway, after everything was done, we celebrated his belated birthday... He is probably the first and only junior's birthday I ever celebrated.. When you and another person are like brothers, you tend to take more initiative and care more for that person I guess.. Could tell that he was really very touched by the things we did..

Haha.. Some new funny names..

Cynthia = "CNY Dear, LOL"

Trudy = "Kunoi"

Well, just like what God tells us.. Be faithful in the little things.. Just by remembering a person's birthday and celebrating for that person, it can bring so much joy to that person and you.. I really feel so good when I saw that smile on his face.. and I'm glad God has given me such a great small brother..

This is Jeffrey

To all gals, he is single and available.. Haha..
A Great Singer, my bro, and a great friend.. Really fortunate to know him..

Easter

2008-03-25T00:05:00.005+08:00

Weee! Easter is just over... Well, Good Friday is the day Jesus was crucified on the cross for our sins and Easter Sunday is the day Jesus was ressurected from the dead.. Cool eh!This week has been quite hectic for me.. Plus my sickness not totally recovered so kind of worse.. But I still feel great after the whole thing...

Friday
Went to Expo Hall 2 to serve at attributes from 1030am till around 1130pm.. Haha.. kind of a busy day but it was fun.. End of the day, went back with Phebe and Gladwin.. Had a good laugh on train..

Saturday
Went down to Expo Hall 1 to watch the Easter drama for the first time.. Melvin, Jacqueline and Eugene went too so Lester, Lusi and I headed down... After that, Karen and Ben went for the second service.. So I stayed on...

The whole drama was so exciting and touching.. Cried during the crucification part.. Really very touching.. The way Jesus sacrificed Himself to save us from our sins and to create a channel between us and God once again.. When I saw Jesus carrying the cross and remembering the sins I have committed, kind of felt very guilty.. I really owe Jesus so much and even though I am not perfect and not worthy of His love, He still loves me and protects me.. His unconditional love has yet proven once again that even when the whole world forsakes you or when you feel that no one loves you, you know that there is still Jesus who loves us so much..

Sunday
Early morning around 9:30am, went to Trudy's place as her father was gonna fetch us to Boon Lay.. Wesley, Cong Zheng and I reached her place and we set off.. We went to Subway to eat and soon, Alvin and JingRu arrived.. We waited for Cynthia who was late as usual =x We then headed down to City Harvest Church! Han Ming soon joined us and service started..

First time watching Vincent perform and he was kind of good at it.. Really very glad that my bro's first performance and I managed to get to go down to support him.. really proud of him... Anyway, the whole performance was a blast and although there were some parts where some funny stuns were done, overall the whole drama was kind of good.. Really enjoy each and every moment of it.. Once again, when the crucification of Jesus started, I cried again.. No matter how many times I've watched it, it still manages to make me cry because I keep feeling the love of God and how He sacrificed Himself..

Anyway, after that, took some photos with Vincent.. Haha.. we now Dynamic Duo le.. One Choir one Drama.. Cool eh..

Anyway, I really love this song because it says so clearly what God did.. Here's the lyrics:

This is Your Saviour - City Harvest Church

They shouted “crucify”

As He stumbled on road

Weight of the world, all the pain

The cross became His Load

He was innocent, yet accused and blamed

Sent to save a fallen world, to bear all our shame

They shouted “crucify”

As he climbed the lonely hill

Bearing the shame and mocking crowd

While heaven, earth stood still

He was innocent, yet accused and blamed

Sent to save a fallen word, to bear all our shame

Chorus
This is your Savior

Pure Love of Heaven

Sent to Die on Calvary, to bear the sins of all

Rejected, cursed to die, Love silently Endured

His blood poured out an offering

At the foot of the Cross

They put a crown of thorns

Upon His bleeding head

Whipped Him as he struggled on

He uttered not a word

He was innocent, yet accused and blamed

Sent to save a fallen word, to bear all our shame

For the brokenhearted

For the poor, the weak

For the blind and searching

He shed His Blood for you, for me

YAY CHOIR!!!!

2008-03-18T16:22:00.002+08:00

YAY! Saturday was kind of feeling down because the whole week was kind of hectic and negative.. Thank God for his faithfulness.. I received a sms saying that I got into Choir! Praise the Lord.. Definately, for what God has told or given you, no man in this world is able to take away! Despite so many tribulations I have undergone and so many obstacles, God helped me emerge victorious! Also wanna thank Joseph for trying so hard to help me =) Thank God for such a great leader...

Anyway, been sick for like so long.. Kind of got worse as the days passed... Now finally a little better but a bit bored from all the sleeping.. Have been eating medicine, sleep, eat medicine then sleep again.. Super no life.. Was supposed to perform in Easter also but due to my illness, I could not commit to the schedule of the rehersals.. Oh well, there is always Christmas and the years to come..

Kind of happy that a lot of my ministry friends called me, wanted to come to my place to pray for me and stuff... Think they could really see that I was super sick when I was serving..

Anyway, now feeling alot better.. But can't really talk yet.. so gonna rest my voice first.. For now, gonna go invite my friends to go watch EASTER PRODUCTIONS! This is my best friend/bro's first time acting and his role is kind of big as well, so trying to get people down to support him.. but can't really call them cause I can't talk but hope that the sms I sent is enough... Really hope they would reply and give me a positive answer =) For now, I shall trust God for the harvest... Thank you Lord for everything you have done in my life..

Long Post.. Too Long Never Post =x

2008-03-12T13:27:00.001+08:00

Well, start of with the Friday overnight cycling cum Amazing Race... It is the first time our zone is having an overnight amazing race.. Kind of fun I must say.. Really enjoyed myself.. A new way of celebrating my birthday but kind of sad because the friends I invited to go all could not make it.. So I had sort of a lonely birthday..

Anyway, we sort of got lost on the way but thank God we found back the route and headed on.. On the way we were tired and hungry but we persisted on looking for every clue and completing all stations.. I had some gastric problems on the way because for the whole day I only ate a curry puff and a chocolate bar so kind of drag the team down.. sorry..

Soon, we reached our final stop and rested.. It was 6am and they announced the winner... After that cab home with Lester, Quelyn and Wesley..

After that, had to wake up at 12pm so it was like a 6 hours nap.. Went to meet the guys to celebrate Vincent and my birthday.. We went to kbox and I did not really sing much because I have been sick for the past month and I sort of lost my voice also.. But in the end, my birthday so I had to sing.. End of the day, I could barely talk...

Oh ya.. for presents, this year only got a bag and a new wallet.. Haha.. Although not as much as usual but well, it is what I needed so both were great gifts..
Vincent got quite alot of great gifts too.. from what I know, he got a PSP, few clothes, a sunglass and a wallet.. I must say, he is really a great guy that's why people would get him so many gifts.. There is a saying in the church "You can give without loving but you cant love without giving"...

Anyway, yesterday went for choir auditions.. Finally! but I feel that I kind of screwed up the audition because of my 1 month illness and sore throat due to the kbox session... Could not sing in tune and in correct pitch and when they vocal range was tested, I could not hit my usual keys.. Think that practically killed my chances but I'm gonna believe in God to make my path right.. For He has given me a vision to be a Praise and Worship Leader and that is the path I would be heading towards.. No matter what happens, if it is the will of God, no weapons formed against it shall prosper and I believe God will turn every bad situation around for me.. For He is faithful =)

Well, that's all folks.. Shall post something soon about how God has impacted my life.. Till then, God bless!

Thank You God

2008-03-03T23:06:00.002+08:00

Well, today, I was supposed to go for a job interview but they days that I have to work was clashed with some stuff so in the end, I had to forfeit the job..

Anyway, today I went to school because there was dance rehersals... Ok, I am not a dancer.. Haha.. Just went there to help out as a DJ...

So, we they were learning and I was helping and after that, I was having a little gastric pain so I told Vincent that I was having gastric.. He told the guys and we headed on to go eat... As I was sick, I told them that I could not eat at Mac but in the end, they still decided to go Mac so I decided to go home..
Halfway through, I was super weak because of the gastric pain so I sat down... People walked pass me but no one noticed that I was in pain until my friend Alvin walked pass.. He bought me milo and accompanied me there...

Soon, I had some energy to walk and I noticed that I was actually holding him up so I decided to walk with every ounce of strength that I had.. I then told him that I was ok and he headed home... Soon, I could not take it anymore and I almost fainted near the street.. I quickly got a place to sit and rested.. I tried calling Vincent but I could not get him so I called Lester to help me contact him.. Lester tried and it was also in vain..

I then prayed to God, asking Him to help me and behold,
God spoke to me "Clarence, stand up and walk"
but I told Him "God, im too weak to even stand, how do You want me to walk?"
and He said "Clarence, have you forgotten that with Me, all things are possible?"

I was at a state of shock and I decided to listen.. I stood up and walk and made it to the bus stop and reached home safely..

After that, JingLong and JingRu called me to ask how I was.. Really glad that they called me but somehow, kind of disappointed that my best friend did not call to ask how I was..

Anyway, I am truly amazed by what God has done.. Indeed He is faithful and at the point where I was at weakest, He was at His strongest and He showed me that through all these, He was always there with me..

God then told me "Clarence, lean not on others but on Me for others like your best friend Vincent, he might not be able to answer his call because he did not hear the ringing but lean on Me for I am always by your side and whenever you call upon My name, I will be there to help you with no strings attached"

Praise the Lord for this... I now truly understand His sacrificial love for me.. Amen!

One Life, One Love, One Word, One Heart

2008-02-16T20:57:00.002+08:00

Woah! Today had an awesome cell group meeting with my beloved N415! Woooo... Well, today really glad because Artons made an effort to come after his busy schedule.. Really appreciate it... Yea! And also wanna thank Joycelyn for praying for me when I was sick or else I would not be able to sing today in cell group!

Ok.. Anyway, today we went to sister Emily's place for cell group meeting.. We sang some really great songs and Joseph did not preach but instead he laid hands on all of us... The prescence of God was really great... I am glad that I was able to renew my committement to God once again...

After the whole thing was done, we sat on the floor for some fellowshipping.. Wanted to try something new so we sat on the floor to make it feel like we are having a picnic.. Haha.. Soon, Joseph took out all the old stuff for us to see.. There was the Old Harvest Times and some pictures of Edmund Tan.. Haha.. We had our laughs and some shocked looks too... But Joseph did not allow us to take photos of them so I could not post them here... Awwww.. Haha

Anyway, soon after, we headed back.. Man.. Everyone is kind of busy with school including me... Wanted some time to chill with one of my best friend Jeremy but he gotta study for his test so well, that is so much more important... So Jeremy, all the best in your exams... I'll pray for you :) Take care man...

*Jeremy's cold joke of the month : Clarence, you cannot Jay walk because you are not Jay Chou.. You can only Clarence walk*

ET Zone Steamboat

2008-02-10T23:03:00.002+08:00

Well, today we had a great sermon... Pastor Kong preached about Marriage and although I'm not married, I feel that what he taught can be applied to friendship as well.. Friends of the opposite gender... The responsibility of the male and female.. Really a great sermon and I felt so touched when I saw married couples going forward to renew their wedding vows..

Woah!! Today we had our ET Zone steamboat! Wooo.. Saw alot of friends and ex cell group members.. Really cool because not often we would really meet up and fellowship...

Had loads of great food and the "Mala" soup was like super spicy.. All of us could not take it.. lol.. Too imba!

We kind of ate for like 2 hours.. Lol.. In the end, all of us were kind of bored because there wasn't really alot of varieties to choose from but well, we all had fun and everyone was basically "crazy" lol... Really enjoyed myself.. This is like a ET Zone reunion dinner.. Lol.. Really glad I'm part of this wonderful zone!

After the steamboat, we went our seperate ways... My cell group went to Ice Monster to eat desert.. Woo.. Jeremy and I shared Mango ice shaved... kind of delicious... Lol...

After that, we headed to Parco Bugis to shop for some Valentine's Day stuff... Haiz.. Gonna be a lonely Valentine's Day for me this year.. so sad!

WOAH! PIGS CAN FLY! AirPork!

2008-02-03T22:10:00.000+08:00

Lol.. ok basically this post has nothing to do with pigs flying.. but it sure got you to read the post.. =x... Anyway, today like usual, went for service with my new CG, N415! Wooo... Then tell you guys one very irritating thing... That Vincent, I sms him say can meet meet me go service together? He tell me cannot.. coz he meeting his cell group members.. So I was like ok lor, nevermind... Then after that, I saw him at bishan waiting for his members... WTH lor!

Ok nevermind about that... Today's sermon was really an impactful one... Fortitude.. I really felt so enlightened after today's sermon...
Fortitude has a similar meaning to endure... and Endure means

Embracing God's purpose in your situation
Nurture your spiritual roots
Direct attention to Jesus Christ
Use your experience to help others
Rely on God's powers
Expect God to bless you

Everyday of my life, I grow more in love with God.. I feel that in this world, no one understands me more than He does.. and when I'm with His sons and daughters, I really feel a sense of belonging.. that I need not fear how they judge me because I know that they all love me for who I am..

Ok.. after that, lol.. I went to eat with them, talked alot of crap and Joycelyn has a new name.. T4! LOL... It stands for TIP TOP TAI TAI!

Oh ya.. after that, I was talking to Joycelyn and she told me "Choir members need to style their hair... " Wah.. I sianz.. so after the whole thing, went to the salon and cut + style.. and this is my new look..

After that, went home.. tried to style for 1 hour.. but all cannot make it.. haiz.. this is why I dont style! It takes me 1 hour! LOL!

Oh ya.. pigs can fly cause my friends always say "Clarence, the say you style your hair is the day pigs can fly"

My New Cell Group N415

2008-02-02T23:49:00.000+08:00

Wow.. Today was the annual SiDM Club Sports Day! YAY!!! LOL... Well, kind of a lousy response from the SiDM people.. I guess everyone is busy with their own school work that they no time to come.. Oh well.. It was still fun!

After that, headed down for cell group with Jinglong... Haha... Got a funny encounter with the taxi but kind of a long story so shall not say... Anyway, when we reached, Joseph was annoucing some stuff and behold.. the new cell group.. N415!... No more N233 for me.. Awwww.... Well, I guess our memories as N233 will still last and we are still considered N233 members... N233 is the best cell group I have been too.. Kind of miss it but I believe that N415 can do greater and mightier things for God!

Started cell group and today's message was sort of about "Being a friend to people" I guess this is something that even non-Christians need to learn.. After going through today's preaching, I kind of felt that I was not really a friend towards my friends... That's all gonna change!

Oh ya, missed Choir auditions again! Oh Man! Haiz.. Well, there is always next time.. and I believe that I will be in the choir and use my singing to touch the congregation and God's heart...

Oh well, after cell group, we headed home.. Some of them went to town to meet their ex cell group members and some went shopping..

Although today is the 1st cell group meeting for N415, I'm really happy because one of my best friend from attributes is there, Jeremy.. and I know that I would be able to enjoy great companions in N415! Praise the Lord for the new cell group!

Last Fellowship Together As N233!

2008-01-31T00:04:00.000+08:00

Well, I'm not gonna blabber about my usual daily stuffs.. Gonna go right to the main topic... As the title speaks for itself, today is the last time we gonna fellowship together as N233...

Kind of an emotional day for me because well, 3 of my best buds are leaving the cell group to embark on their new journey with God...

Today, we went to eat steamboat at Bugis.. There were kind of alot of people who went..
Joseph, Belinda, Lester, WengLok, HuangYong, Angelia, Eugene, Quelyn, Kenny, JingLong, ZhengYang, Artons, Samuel and Me...

We ate till our hearts content and we even made some disgusting food with the combination of all the nice food.. lol.. Samuel, to prevent food wastage, he went to stuff all the food into different places e.g. empty cans..

Though what we did was just eating, it was probably one of the funnest time we ever had together as a cell group.. We laughed, played around, joked and really, it was like we were a closer family...

I have never regretted the day I went into City Harvest Church, into N233... Having such great friends who are like family is something that I can never find with my outside friends.. The love, the sacrifice and the bond we share.. Is really strong!

I guess, all good things come to an end and we have to split up.. But no matter what, we would still be a family... 1 body of Christ! God's sons and daughters...

God, thank you for N233!

Some pics of us during our last service together...

N233 !!!

2008-01-28T00:25:00.000+08:00

Today is probably one of the saddest day of my life.. Today is the last service and last prayer meeting I'm gonna have with Zheng Yang, Kenny, WengLok, Belinda and Vincent for they are going to be transferred out of N233...

Zheng Yang, WengLok, Kenny will be going Stephanie's Cell Group
Vincent will be going Joanne's Cell Group
Belinda will be going Adult Cell Group

Me and the guys of SOCGP, we have been through so many tribulations together.. So many obstacles that prevented us from growing, from loving God and each other but together, we overcame every obstacles together..

In the past, I remember that we used to be just normal friends.. Every week after cell group, we would just talk and then go home... It was like a routine and we did not really bonded.. But as time passed, our friendship grew stronger and soon SOCGP was formed..

Our friendship grew so strong that we could confide anything to each other.. We became spiritual buddies...

I remembered once, when I almost backslided, they all came to pull me back up, encouraging me.. Pushing me through...

Joseph once said, he wanted us to find a best friend in the cell group and I did not have to because they were all infront of me..

We have been best friends for coming to a year... Though the time is little, but the time we spent together is much more important and I truely enjoy each and every moment with them..

Guys, thank you for being there for me whenever I'm down.. Thank you for the great memories you guys have given to me... I believe that even when we are not together in the same cell group, our vision for our cell groups will always be the same.. Let us continue working together to build God a greater Kingdom...

Finally, I would like to thank God for putting friends like them in my life, impacting me so strongly in every aspects of my life.. Thank you God for giving me more than abundance.. For giving me 4 Best Friends in N233.. God I thank you for Vincent, for WengLok, for Zheng Yang and for Lester.. I've prayed for one best friend but You gave me 4.. Indeed You are faithful...

I pray that as the 5 members of N233 embark on the new chapters of their lives in another cell group, Lord I just pray that You would make them greater vessels for You.. Protect them oh Lord and rise them up to be salt and light of the world.. God bless them right now.. Guide their paths and lead them to the next breakthrough of their life... In Jesus name I humbly pray, Amen!

OMG BUSY BUSY BUSY!

2008-01-22T23:58:00.000+08:00

In the end, cannot play cause someone forgot that I told her and she kept saying I never say.. Oh well.. Now, SiDM organising and I cannot join caused I "Supposed" to help.. Wishing that I can get 1st for Emerge Captain's ball.. Then it was cancelled.. Now, can't even get a chance to play for 1st in school... Guess this is a wish that can never come true..

But they forgot to realize that everyone of us have a life.. we need to rest, to enjoy and some of us have other commitments as well..

Man, sometimes, really feel like giving up.. don wan to continue with my assignments because it is really killing me..

Emo Day...

2008-01-14T21:26:00.000+08:00

Well, basically, today was kind of a very disappointed day for me.. Starting, supposed to meet at 4pm for meeting but 2 of the committee members were late.. made me wait for 30-45 mins.. kind of pissed off coz they did not even sms me in advance that they will be late.. Really no accountability.. Haiz..

Secondly, kind of disappointed because my friend was supposed to go for driving today.. But it was postponed to tml.. and he knows that I wanted to go gym but instead, he called someone else to go with him instead of me.. Wah.. That really hit the spot man... Nothing can describe the disappointment I felt today... There is a saying, "You 1st thing you remember is always the most important.. The 1st person you think of is always the most important..." Guess, my friend has found another best friend that is more important than me.. Haiz..

Anyway, that incident really caused my whole day to turn sour.. Even when I'm out with the NYP CHC guys, I could not enjoy myself.. I had to leave early because the sadness in me was beginning to show.. I'm actually more sad than angry.. And I guess, I could not hold on to my tears any longer.. So cried.. But thank God no one saw me crying..

Question: Forgiveness is applied when someone hurts you and you choose to let go of the past .. But if something keeps happening over and over again, how do you forgive that person of committing the same mistake?

First Cell Group of 2008 & Overnight Cycling!

2008-01-12T23:18:00.000+08:00

Wow! Finally, Cell group has started! YAY!

Well, did not have cell group for like 1 week only but I'm like super happy that this week we started having again... Really love going to cell group...

On the way to go for cell group, caught Aaron eating in the bus... !!!! Haha.. Fine $1000

Well, firstly, we had like 4 cell groups combining! Cool... about 1/3 of the people there I was kind of unfamiliar with but that doesn't matter... In a matter of minutes, we got to know each other and played some ice-breaker games before starting...

After some praise and worship, we had some briefing on the safety rules because we were having OVERNIGHT BIKE RIDE! WOOOO!

We left promptly at 10pm and started our ride.. My team consists of JingLong, Steffy, Novi, Melia and me..

We made our first pit stop at Downtown East and had some refreshments and soon left on to continue our journey... As we rode, people could not take it anymore and started backing out so, they rode the Lorry instead.. From 40 people, we slowly reduced to 35 people.. Making pit stops along the way, eating and talking crap with each other.. Our bond together started growing closer and we got to know each other more..

We then reached Changi and we rode near the runway.. Saw planes taking off and planes landing.. It was really cool..

As we rode on, our butts started to get very painful because the seats were terrible but everyone kept encouraging each other to continue.. to complete this whole event..

Legs were aching, arms were breaking and butts were painful.. We endured the pain and sufferings and headed towards our destination and at that point, I saw how Jesus endured all the pain on the cross just to set us free from our sins.. So, I did not give up and I continued..

We soon reached our destination.. A 30KM ride was finally over and we took 5-6 hours to accomplish it.. Everyone rushed into the McDonalds at East Coast... Our flesh was weak but our spirits were strong...

Soon, around 6:30am, everyone started leaving... Only 20 people were left and we headed to see the sunrise! It was beautiful and magnificient.. Seeing how 1 ball of fire can light up the entire world... At that point of time, God just touched my heart as I saw all the beautiful things He has created on Earth.. Praise the Lord for that...

We then headed home... Well, I'm really happy that I went to City Harvest Church and got integrated there... My life has changed alot and I really got to know alot of people.. Whenever I fall, they will help me out.. They won't judge me for what I do but they will constantly encourage me... Friends like these are really considered friends.. We get to hangout together and after this experience, I know that the choice I made in 2006 to join City Harvest was the best choice I ever made...

Thank You Vincent for bringing me to City Harvest...
Thank You N233 for treating me like family...
Thank You God for touching my heart...

NYP Open House

2008-01-12T17:13:00.000+08:00

Yoz! It's been a long time.. Well, firstly, some funny pics of my friend Ivan and Kenny.. Lol..

Anyway, back to the topic.. Well, 10th - 12th January 2008 was NYP Open House.. Like usual, the Excos had to help out with the other OGLs.. Really glad that I have friends who are so helpful and could never pull this off without them so, thx guys..

Well, on the 10th of January, we went to school super early to prepare the booth.. Did alot of decorations... At first, the booth had a Hari Raya look to it.. Soon, it became Hari Raya and Christmas.. Finally, Hari Raya, Christmas and Chinese New Year.. haha.. really went a little over with the decorations..

Oh ya, Trudy was also the mascot for SiDM.. Kungfu Girl.. Lol..

Anyway, the whole thing for 3 days was actually kind of boring.. Hopefully, next year, NYP will do a better job at organising...

New Year!

2008-01-01T17:08:00.000+08:00

Well, it has been quite long since I last posted... Haha... But I'm very happy because it is the start of something new.. The start of a new year.. a new beginning...

Basically, 2007 has been a rough year for me.. alot of things happen..

Quarrelling frequently with Vincent
Self-esteem becoming lower
Quarrelling with NYP CHC people
Pride
Family problems
Death of 2 rabbits

so many things happened.. but as the new year approaches, God is good and has blessed me... On Christmas, Praise the Lord, my parents accepted Christ into their lives.. It is something that I've wished for and it finally came to pass... My friendship with Vincent also became stronger and we seldom quarrel already.. I feel that both of us came to a compromise and the trust between us became so much stronger...

Anyway, on New Year's eve, went out with a bunch of friends... Went all the way to Bedok to eat Bah Chor Mee.. LOL ... After that, coz forgot to book Long-gu's ticket.. so we went all the way to Tampines to buy... but so suay, cannot get a seat that is beside us.. so got 1 behind us instead.. poor Jinglong...

Soon, we headed down to boat quay... and as usual, the P4 (Pervertic 4 - Ivan, Ian, ZhiFeng, Jake) Ian nv go... were talking abt "yellow" stuff.. all the way.. it was like the only thing they kept talking abt.. =x

Fireworks blasted as we watched in awe of the beautiful display... It was really nice although we were blocked by the building in front of us... I really felt so amazed by it...

We then headed to Plaza Singapura to watch the long awaited Alien Versus Predator 2... But it was kind of disappointing.. I rate 2/5 only.. awwww....

The show ended at 4am and we went to slack at Starbucks... Slack till 7am.. then we headed home..

Well, u can say it was kind of a boring celebration but it felt great because I could usher in the New Year with my friends and that is one of the most memorable things ever...

Ok.. Time for my new year resolution :

Be part of Choir Ministry
Finish reading bible and having a greater understanding
Be more spiritual
Become OM
Exercise 3 times a week
Eat 1 apple everyday
Get to know more people

Why Me ?

2007-11-17T22:32:00.000+08:00

Well, this post is about friday... Like always, my class starts at 8am because I have Marketing Elective... Actually, last week my marketing teacher gave out a textbook because she had an extra.. The book costs around $50 which is so expensive and it was only an elective course.. In the bible, it says that God will give us favour among men. So i started to pray that my teacher would give the book to me.. but in the end, she chose Vincent and I'm very happy for him.. but at the same time, disappointed because I did not get it and I am facing some problems as well..

But by the grace of God, this week, my teacher actually found another extra copy of the textbook and this time, she chose to give it to me.. God is never late, He is always on time and He really granted me favour among the teacher.. If we stay faithful to Him, He will pour down His blessings to us... And in a class of about 15, 2 people who are God's faithful servants got the book... I mean, the ratio of both Vincent and I getting is very slim.. But we got it but the grace of God..

You know, in this world, there are people who would think that probably its a coincidence or that because I'm a Christian that's why I'm saying this... But even coincidences will die down and you don't need to be a Christian to see how much God has given to you.. The fact is that, as it is, God love us so much, He gave His only son to die for us on the cross... That shows how much He cares...

Friends/Family... God is real and I myself have experienced His true love.. Let me ask you, would I harm you by introducing something bad to you? If 1 day, I found out that there is going to be a terrorist attack at ZZZ place, would I ask you to go there? No right! Because you are my friend and I would not do anything to harm you... Now, similarly, when I know something is good, would I introduce to you?

You know, sometimes it's not about giving God a chance but sometimes, it is about you yourself giving a chance to know God.. He can really work miracles.. It is up to you to believe in it...

I have no idea why I'm posting this sensitive topic here but I believe that I wrote it for a reason and Praise the Lord that I'm with Him.. Amen!

Intro Game (Star Munchkins)

2007-11-14T09:43:00.000+08:00

Yoyo, today, I shall introduce a new game.. Star Munchkins...
Well, we have been playing this game for like a month and basically, more and more people are getting addicted to it..

It was first introduced by Miss Jamie to the Games Programming side and it has spread to even the Technical Direction and Design side...

Hmm, well, this game is sort of hard to explain but once you get the hang of it, it is quite simple... It's more of a debate on each item and how to win because the rules are not really very clear... Anyway, a little explanation on the game..

Station card - Draws 1 and shows everyone else and 1 to keep (during turn)
Treasure card - Mainly by defeating monsters

Station Treasure

The main aim of the game is to get to level 10.. You can do so by using level up cards, killing monsters or selling items (every 1000 credits = 1 level)... You can only do all these till level 9.. To get to level 10, it is compulsory for you to defeat a monster.

The highest level monster is level 20 - The Great Cthulhu (The Great ChuChu).. It completely wipes out all your cards and every other player gains a level... Super IMBA! lol ...

Anyway, recently, I played munchkins with ZhiFeng, JingLong and Jake and we sabo ZhiFeng till he could not even win.. Haha, super sabo... The monster's level became 164 and his combat level was only around 40.. Haha... That was the highest level monster I've ever seen in my whole life of playing..

Well, up till now, we are still playing this game and more people are getting addicted to it.. Some are even planning to buy another version so that we can try different ones.. Others want to make their own Munchkins.. For that, I shall leave it till they really make/buy it..

Well, nothing really much to say.. You have to play to see how fun the game is.. So try it out..

Eugene's Birthday!

2007-11-08T22:39:00.001+08:00

Woah.. ok.. it happened on 7th Nov.. Didnt have time to post the other day.. Well anyway, like same old other school days, I went to class and had my lesson.. Almost slept again.. Dunno why these few weeks, lessons keep making me sleep... haiz.. Oh well, supposed to meet Eugene at 1pm to go to his house but in the end, ended up playing the original munchkins with the same old people.. (JingLong, JianHong, Jason, Joseph).. All the Js..

Missed the 1st SIDM movie event.. haiz.. dunno what kind of EXCO I am.. Own CCA's important day also can miss..

Haha, anyway, made my way to his house at 2:45pm and reached like around 3:30pm.. To my surprise, I was still the first to reach.. Haha.. Went up his house to take a look and was attracted to his bed and lights instead of the consoles there.. =x

Soon, people started arriving.. and like always, I was "invited" to start the fire for the BBQ.. and Princess Owl kept asking me to make the fire bigger coz she wanted to eat.. In the end, I got burnt! Lol.. Then I went to "break" the chicken like always.. man...

Took a while and everyone started eating the food Pascale and Isaac cooked... Kowtow to them.. The food they cooked were nice.. Haha.. Surprisingly Pascale can cook.. =x Anyway, as the time passed and it was like 8pm, I started calling Vincent.. He told me he was at Heartland Mall which is opposite of Eugene's house.. But it took him like 45 MINUTES before he reached!

The first thing Eugene did was bringing them up to see his house.. After 15 minutes of house appreciation, we went back down to the BBQ and I sabo Eugene.. Held him and pushed him into the pool! YAY!!!

We went to eat and played some basketball.. And soon, we went to cut the cake.. Cynthia and Kenny were surprised too as we also bought a cake to celebrate their birthday.. Really enjoyed myself.. and I really hoped Eugene did too..

After that, we all headed to some coffee shop to talk and to our horror, it was reaching 12am.. We rushed down to the nearest bus stop to catch our bus.. We reached around 1215am and we saw that the last bus timing was 1210am.. I felt so tired and did not wanna waste any money taking a cab.. but then, the Lord spoke to me and said "Clarence, if you see the bus coming, I will bring the bus to you".. at that moment, I said out loud, if I can see it, I can have it.. and at 1225am, the bus came! Praise the Lord!

Well, everything else went smoothly and I reached home, rested and ready to chiong for the next day!

BoD Outing!

2007-10-25T23:21:00.000+08:00

YAY! Finally after like 1 year, we have a BoD outing again... Same like always, went to school.. Felt really tired and slept like 1/4 of the time in class.. But when 6pm reached! Vincent, Eric and I rushed down to Somerset to meet Phoebe and Jacob to have our BoD Dinner!

We used the $60 voucher from when we got 3rd in the Emerge 2007 Captain's ball!

We headed to The Heeren and went to a restaurant called "The Vila'ge"..

The way they serve is like Marche.. Went around taking the food and looking at the "beautiful" prices lol.. In the end, we bought things like:

Baked Rice

Spring Chicken

Pizza

Rosti

Salad

And the funny thing was.. Vincent bought the salad for like $7+ which is like so EX! but it was nice.. lol...

After eating, we each had to pay an extra of $1+ which is sort of cheap... and we headed down to Starbucks for some coffee and to do some catching up...

In the midst of the talk, Vincent slept like usual.. lol.. he seemed really tired... so we headed back home.. by the time we left, it was already 10pm.. Man.. A short outing, but it brings back much joy... Awaiting the day, our BoD dream will come true..!

Happy Birthday Rickson!

2007-10-22T01:15:00.000+08:00

Woah... Happy Birthday my bro Ricky! Well, today we went for service first.. Invited a few people but they sort of turn me down a little last minute.. Oh well... Was disappointed but shall not lose faith! Anyway, back to the main topic..

Well, met the gang at 3pm at Dhouby Ghaut MRT.. We went to Minds Cafe to have some fun there.. For my side, played a few games and Kenny won the 1st game - making some animal sound.. And I won the 2nd one! - Strategic game..

After that, we ended around 6:30pm and we drag and sat there for quite a while.. Doing nothing.. lol.. Soon, Carrisa came back with a cake and we hid it.. When Ricky was approaching, we sprung the cake up and gave him a surprise..

The people who went there were all enjoying themselves.. Took Rickson like 15 mins just to talk finish and by the time he started blowing the candle, the ice-cream on it had melted.. lol..

After blowing the candle, he made a very gay pose.. and made a wish

And a birthday is never completed without a ..... PRESENT!

Haha... he kept complaining we give him "kim zua" (golden paper-incense paper)

After everything, we left Minds Cafe and headed for dinner and the food court at Paradiz Centre..

After that, we headed down to Plaza Singapura and went to a shop called "Ice Monster"!

Haha, its a desert stall.. We bought desert and I really wanna thank Rickson.. Cause he actually treated me! Wow, Praise the Lord!

TD / OGL Chalet

2007-10-17T18:40:00.000+08:00

Well, this happened like during September.. Haha.. But have been busy so i post today =)
Hmmm, happened quite long ago so some details forgotten..

1st Day
JingLong, Alvin, Ian and I were the first to reach so we went to buy the food for the BBQ.. Bought quite alot of food i must say and it was like over budget le.. but no choice.. all those people going are all gluttons =x kidding...
We took a cab there and arrived soon.. Went to the counter to check in and Alvin was like flirting with the receptionist.. lol Lao TiKo! After that, we got the room and we found out it was near the bicycle rental shop! YAY!
We rented our bikes and went back to Whitesands to buy more stuffs like drinks .. etc..
It was like 4pm when people started coming.. Soon, most of them arrived and we went to the "playground" to play basketball and frisbee.. Ian's basketball skills very pro.. Haha.. below net he still can throw out of court.. Dunno how he do sia.. Lol..

Everyone was tired and on that day, Kenny became MingFang's mummy.. Why? I also dunno.. Go ask her... Everyone started heading back and I had to marinate the chicken.. Then, JunMing, Kenneth and GuangLiang came.. After that, we played some card games like Uno and dunno what other games.. forgot.. Then Ian lost and had to seduce the fridge.. LOL... soon after, a few more people lost and had to do alot of forfeits..

Zhi Feng doing "something" to the staircase!

2nd Day
Well, the 2nd day, i wasn't really there.. Went to swim with the guys in the morning after that, Went for cell group.. So by the time I came back, everyone was in the living room playing cards...
We then approached for a night walk/cycle and they found some horseshoe crab.. lol.. said to be poisonous..
After that we went back and headed out again soon after..
We went to the nearby coffee shop to eat and to our horror, it started to rain.. Ahhh.. we were stranded there.. haiz..
Then kenny slept like a log.. Cannot even wake him up.. Everyone else were freezing there due to the rain and fan..

After that, we decided to chiong back.. We were drench and everyone was suddenly very awake.. lol.. But soon, after bathing and slacking for awhile, everyone droped dead on the ground.. all too shag to continue..

Well, 3rd day, we just checked out and went home.. nothing much.. Basically, this 3 days were kind of fun and I really got to know JunMing, Kenneth and GuangLiang alot better.. Hopefully we can be closer friends in the near future..
That's all folks.. Shall update my blog on time in the future.. so no worries!

NYP CHC Camp!

2007-10-04T23:01:00.000+08:00

NYP CHC camp.. YAY!!!! Really love that camp.. We did lots of things like Captain's ball, Basketball, Frisbee, Obstacle races and so on.. Really a fun filled camp.. We even cooked our own breakfast, lunch and dinner..

On the second day, after having our breakfast, we gathered and started our game
Well, shall elaborate more on the obstacle race.. Basically, I'm in the same team as Basil, Carrisa, Joseph and alot more people.. And Mar was our gamemaster! OMG!

So after that, we went to our first round.. which is drawing of the gamemaster's face...

After that, we did like 19 stuns which was useless! Because the last one says,
IGNORE THE TOP TASKS!
Wah... Really very sianz.. Is like we got punked!

After that, we did the REAL tasks.. We had things like
1. Making a team member's hair stand

2. Take a photo with another team

3. Take a photo with a worm

4. Climb to the top of the spiderweb

5. Spin 10 rounds on the small spin

6. Do a star jump as a team

7. Create a 25 steps hopscorch and jump

8. Creating your gamemaster's name using seaweed... Walau.. this one really ultimate.. Mar's full name is.. Margaret Snh Ai Ping Fellowship! Wah! Ultimate lor... We make till wan die.. Other people's one so easy.. just make Dale, Rick, Andy can le.. We make FULL name.. She sabo us...

In the end, we lost.. because of that round..

Soon after, we played water bomb games.. and the rules in the start were that we needed to protect our gamemaster.. Basil started going round, to collaberate with other teams.. We had the perfect plan.. But when the game started, the rules became NO RULES! OMG! But Vincent's team very funny.. they did not catch the no rules part and kept protecting their gamemaster.. Haha.. Funny.. Worse thing was, Basil shot me with the water bomb and I was his team-mate.. Grrr!

After the whole thing, we went to play games like basketball and frisbee... As night approaches, we went to prepare the food for the steamboat =D

During the night, after steamboat, we all got tired and some did not want to go back home because tml need check out.. Everyone wanted to have more of the camp.. Well, all i can say is, Good Job guys.. The camp was great.. Looking forward to the next one.. if there is =D...

Water Baptism Day!

2007-09-07T11:55:00.000+08:00

Woooohooo... Well, just received the pictures so post today.. but the real event took place on
26 August 2007.
Yupz.. This day is the day whereby my whole life changed.. I proclaim to the world that Jesus is my Lord and Saviour.. Really a very unforgettable event..

Before the whole event started, to me I felt excited.. thats all.. nothing more.. All I could see was, me, dipping into water.. I could not see what was so special about the whole thing.. until it really happened...

The moment my name was announced and I was dipped into the water, I could feel the presence of God and it felt like suddenly, everything that seemed impossible became possible.. I felt my life having new hopes and dreams and I believed I became a stronger person.. People might say, its psychological but I can gurantee, it is the power of God.. A person, with just plain feelings thinking that it was just water, can change his perspective of things once he is dipped into the water.. This is something which amazes me alot because not alot of things can actually change my perspective of life..

After the whole baptism thing was over, the ET zone members went to celebrate for us.. We did stunts like "Seeing who is able to finish the apple first" which symbolizes (Apple = apple in God's eye),

"Blowing out a candle" which symbolizes (Light of the world) and "Getting 2 grapes out from a super big bowl of salt" which symbolizes (Salt of the world) ..

It was really fun and in the end, everyone got a gift from their cell group.. For me, I got a HILLSONGS CD! Woooo... Really like listening to songs and singing.. so it's really a great gift and I really like it because it is from my cell group =D

I believe that now, I can be a mightier vessel for God and I would be able to spread the Gospel to wherever I go and to whoever I meet.. All I hope for now, is to slowly see each and everyone of my friends to know who the God I love so much is.. because I want them to experience the same love God has given to me and the same blessings that I have received from God..

With all these said, nothing really can express the way I felt and the way I'm feeling now because unless you experience it yourself, you will never know..

Praise the Lord for His mighty works in my life and I pray He would touch all of your hearts like He did to mine..

Powerful!

2007-08-22T00:01:00.000+08:00

Woah.. OMG! Today is a super powerful day.. My church prayer meeting was off the hook.. Superb man.. Well, today is like one of the days where the presence of God really touched me so strongly..

Well, I have been meeting up with alot of problems lately and some past matters kept haunting me.. I really fell into the trap until today when God delivered me with his powers and I finally felt peace once more..

People have been asking me.. Clarence, why do you go to church, or why did you become a Christian? Reason is simple.. I really love the presence of God.. God has moulded me to be a person of great character and I believe in his word and in the bible because what it teaches is the truth.. Some people think what they do is right.. but are they really right? Well.. I know for sure that what the bible teaches is definately correct and I really love the bible..
Another reason is probably because whenever I sing a praise or worship song, I would feel peace in me.. Anything bad that might have happened on that day will vanish.. And I would feel more energetic and empowered to do alot more...
God has really blessed me also.. In finanace, studies, friendship, personal life and with family harmony.. The reason why I really being a Chrisitian is because I have someone backing me up in my life and helping me.. God.. All his blessings towards me for the past 10 months is something which no one can relate to but me.. and I really wanna thank Him for that..

So, now I'm heading for supper and Praise the Lord for showering me with his blessings..

We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.. Amen!

Long Day Ahead..

2007-08-16T19:46:00.001+08:00

Woah... Today was late for school man.. Almost kana caught by lecturer.. Whew..

Well, today did my rigging for my model.. Once again, took me like 4 hours to get the rigging perfected but same thing happened.. Maya cock up.. and Everything went Bye bye... lol.. Thank God I actually saved before the error came out.. or else, there goes 4 hours of work.. at least now.. is 2 hours of work gone.. lol...

6pm arrived and I went to have dinner with Vincent.. like so long never eat together le lor.. He too busy accompanying girls that I need to call him for dinner every night.. and finally he actually said ok.. Lol.. This is what you get when you have a super popular best friend..

Anyway, after dinner, went home and saw my rabbit's grave being destroyed.. Was very angry at first but after that, it was sort of a relief to me.. because at least now, I would not dwell in the past and I would be able to continue with life.. New life with Shane and Yin.. Oh well..
Then headed up to my house.. A freakishly large cockroach chased me from my living room to my room... It was a flying cockroach.. man.. now, i'm stuck in my room with nothing to do.. so, blogging.. Haha..

Well, hopefully I won't die of boredom inside this place... Hope my parents come home soon to kill that irritating cockroach.. Man.. Hate flying cockroaches.. Oh ya.. Gonna make my blog have more colours.. lol..

See you guys on the flip side.. God bless you and take care :D

Oh My God

2007-08-15T20:37:00.000+08:00

Ahhh.. Today, almost late for school because woke up late.. Whew, luckily the presentation of storyboard had not started.. or else.. GG.. Lol.. Anyway, today was like the third day of the studio project week.. Have been rather busy rushing the storyboards, the models and finding resources..

Anyway, today I almost gave up hope on my model.. I modelled my Ladybird for like 5 hours.. and within 5 mins, the whole thing was gone.. I was so angry and pissed off that I did not have the mood to go on.. Then, so happen I was listening to City Harvest's Destiny..

The phrase goes like this..
Hope is found in Christ Divine..
All my past, I've left behind..
Let your glory shine..

At that moment, I felt God's presence.. and felt Him telling me to redo.. It is ok.. So, I started redoing and to my surprise, I completed it in less that 2 hours.. A 5 hour work was done in 2 hours and the model looked better than the previous one.. Really wanna thank God for his guidance and help.. =D

Anyway this goes to show that with God, all things are possible.. God will take all the bad things that happen to you and use it for greater things ahead.. =D

Thank You Lord..

New Stuffs..

2007-08-12T19:42:00.000+08:00

Woah.. Cool day today.. Well, a little tired but don't care.. =D Later then sleep.. Anyway, today woke up super early.. 6:30am.. Haha.. Went to church.. Saw all my cell group guys wearing formal shirt then i wear like those casual one.. abit out of place.. haha.. Anyway, today, church sang a new worship song.. Quite nice and actually could tell that the song touched many people's heart..

Ok.. Just wanna share something with you guys.. Recently my pet Rabbit, Yang, died due to suffocation.. It got trapped in one of the metal bars and could not get out.. At that time, I was serving in Ministry so I could not get home in time to save it.. I was actually very depressed at that moment and cried but thank God, I have friends who consoled me..

Next day, buried him.. My bro Vincent and Kenny came to help me and we bid Yang goodbye.. Now, he is with God and God will definately take better care of it..
That night, while I was doing my quiet time, God spoke to me and it made me feel so much better.. Really wanna thank God for his wisdom and strength and also his companionship..

Few days later, my friends, Vincent, Kenny, Ivan and Cynthia actually planned to buy me a rabbit.. Haha.. They wanted to bless me with a new rabbit but in the end, I went to get one also.. Haha.. They wanted to pay but I turned them down.. Really appreciated the thought that they would go to such extend to actually cheer me up.. Felt really blessed at that moment.. But the reason why I turned them down is because they themselves were tight on finance and I did not want to burn a hole in their pockets.. Maybe next time they richer, can bless me with a Car or MANSION! Wooo.. cool.. Haha..
Anyway, the new Rabbit's name is Shane.. and to my dismay, I think it is a female.. Think need to change name liao.. Haha..

Anyway, i added a few things in my blog like wishlist so my birthday, you all know what to get for me le.. Yay.. And a section on testimonial of what God has done for me.. started today so only have one post.. K..

That's all folks.. God bless all of u.. Take Care.. SOCGP Woosh!
