11:53 AMI'm finally back home from OBS. It was a thrilling, enjoyable and once in a lifetime experience for me. Before going there, my mind was flooding with thoughts of like " What am i gonna do there? Will i enjoy myself? Can my caregroup cope without me? ". But with god's grace, my church ministry went well and i enjoyed myself in the camp.
This camp is not those normal adventure camp or outdoor camp that most people perceive it to be. This camp is neither a torturous nor a camp that involves coporate punishments like most of the camps that i went to during my secondary school days. OBS camp is a camp that allows you to stretch yourself to the limit, entitles you to learn precious values that are applicable in today's life and allows participants to know more about themselves.
I was totally cut off from the outside world, i was totally integrated into basics and away from the so called ' real world'. Everything i do, was without the help of machines. No computer, no handphones, no mp3, no palm tops, no oven or mircowave to cook my food. Food was made ready by using fire produced from lighted solid fuel and using mess tins to cook my maggie mee. Canned food were also eaten immediately after opening the lid, no heating up in a pot or asking our parents to add extra ingredients. Everything was simple and it all falls back to basics. Bread and biscuits were our best friends during the last 5 days for breakfasts and lunch. The funny thing is that, when you're in the camp, u won't care how nice the food taste, most importantly it can fill my big tummy and that's the bottom line. haha. I kept on telling my friends after breaking of camp, i will get myself a big extra value combo of Carl's Junior burger and just drown myself in its aroma.
Shelters have to be build by ourselves. Using what? TENTS. We learnt to pitch tents during the first day and it was more like a remedial lessons for me. Because i used to do that many times when i'm in Boy's Brigade. haha. Apparently, the guys did the hard work of pitching tents while the girls did the cooking. haha. For the next few days, it was a routine to pitch tents. We do not have a fixed campsite so everywhere we go before nightfall, we will have to pitch our tents. If not, we have to sleep in the wild. =) .
During the first day, i was appointed Store IC. haha! I have the authority of taking charge of the store. It was quite a slacking job actually. Just make sure everything in the store remains the same, neat and tidy and also ensure nothing is lost. After that we learnt belaying. Its an vital task that all climbers will have to place their trust in. Haha. At nightfall, when i'm in the tent, the air starts to get stuffy and humid. I shared tent with Nicholas and Evan. Evan was the first 1 to sleep?! Futhermore, he snored so loudly that people from other tents started murmuring among themselves asking each other who is the 1 that was snoring so loudly. HAHA. Nicholas and me was so amused by that gym consultant wannabe Evan Yeo. lol.
We did many activities like, going on a sea expedition. It was real fun, we were to kayak round the outskirts of pulau ubin. Yes, its damn long and tiring. We kayak from 8am to 4pm. We learn capsizing drills. This drill made us capsize on purpose so that we'll know the techniques on how to retrieve back to the normal state. It was super fun too! We did high elements , the one that i had to climb this big wooden sailing ships (those kind you will get to see if you watch Pirates of the Carribean). I was so scared that my legs turned jelly when i was on top due to my height phobia. However, i was so proud of myself when i was able to get my feet on the ground again. haha!
There are just too many things we did during the camp. Penning it down here would take me hours to do it. This camp opened myself up and allows me to see what i am really like when dealing with difficult and away from my comfort zones. There were occasions when i was complaining about pitching tents etc. But all this allows me to learn to appreciate more of what i have at home and in my comfort zone. For too long i have taken things for granted and just throwing them aside, not appreciating things around me. After the camp, i began to say more "thank you" to people when they offered their services to me. I also learned that during harsh and difficult times, the only thing that we must get into our head is to never give up. Continue to pursue your goal and persevere to the very end. The fruit that you'll reap will be a much more satisfying one. Cooperations and teamwork. Both of them are so important in today's life even in our church ministries and in our work place. The camp made me understand a deeper meaning of them and now i began take them more into consideration. My friend used to tell me this, " Individual win medals. A team wins championships." =)
The sight of the airport control tower at the far horizon just beckons me. Childhood memories of the airport began flooding in my mind when i'm looking along the Beaches of Ubin. Surprisingly the airport has always been the place that i love to go to. As if there's this strange sense of attractiveness or some magnetic force that just makes me want to go there. Memories i guess. Not only childhood ones, but also others. I always love the feeling of standing at the beach of ubin, enjoying the sea breeze, looking at aeroplanes beginning to land at the airport. =)

Wednesday, July 19, 2006 12:25 PMWill away for 5 days because i'll be going for the OBS camp. The funny thing is that, 1 side of me is looking forward to it? But on the other side, i have this reluctant feeling. May be its because i will be going on a outdoor camp for 5 consecutive days? That means, away from my computer, my bed, my CG members and service. Well, just look on the bright side, i'm gonna enjoy my time there participating in all the outdoor activities woohoo!
Sunday- Went to meet the project work group in the mornining to consolidate all the informations gathered in the survey. After that, went to bishan CC to study for the test and do some math. Oh man, studying is such a pain for me. I mean, who likes studying?! May be those geeks from RJ or Hwa Chong, probably books are their bestest friend around. :/ . Went home, have a nice fruitful chat with jontay. We exchanged alot of our views and perspectives towards certain things in life, church and our ministry. Learn quite abit from him also. Hope we can meet up more after your army! haha.
Monday- First thing in morning, physics test. Urgh, this subject seems to hate me alot. Even though this is an open book test, i am still gonna fail. Seriously, i need a breakthrough in my studying man. May be my work efficiency is damn low or i think my studying methods are wrong or something. Never mind, shan't dwell on them. Had lessons as usual, boring. :/ . After school, went to meet GarMeng and Martin at J8! Oh man, i really enjoyed my time with them. We all used to be from the same District group, but now, they have already transferred to the poly group already, couldn't see them to often. Miss them man, Garmeng especially, one of my closest friend around, haha. I bet if he read this, its gonna boost up his ego. We went to eat chicken rice, then walked back to J8 and took a bus home. Great time of catching up!
Today- School as usual. Had my Chinese A lvl Listening compre today. Wasn't that bad, i hope i can get 7/10 and above. Headed down to Plaza Sing with Derrick and Delia, then i went to meet freedy for shepherding. Dine at Carl's junior. Oh man, the burger was just fantastic. Big portion, tasty and filling. After eating, we continued to sit down there and chat. Long fruitful chat. I shared and asked alot of my views about certain things in life and church, exchanged with 1 another biblical views and insights about our ministry. We talked until Freedy had to cancel his teaching. haha!. Went home at around 7. When i was in the bus, its so embarrassing. Because i was feeling so sleepy that i slept. And my head kept banging and tilting towards the lady on my left. omg.
okay, 5 days in Pulau Ubin! Will update more when i get back! =D
Saturday, July 15, 2006 3:52 PMThursday- School as usual. Only 1 word to describe it, boring. haha. After school, headed down to RC for Caregroup. This cg was specially organised for visitors to come. The awesome thing was that the day before the cg, the confirmation for number of visitors was pathetically low. I think only 1 visitor managed to confirm that he is coming. And praise god! On the actual day itself, we had about 6-7 visitors coming from my cg! wow! Our attendance hit a high of 16 to 17 people! Its seriously a breakthrough in the number of people coming! It was really a fantastic sight to see so many dudes in their white and blue uniform walking around RC, playing the games organized for them. Its just a glimpse of what God is going to do in this cg! Unit size for Neb3 is at nigh! =D.
After mcg, donavan marcus andre and me played soccer in RC. haha. We used a super light ball and pretend we're playing the World Cup final match, Italy vs France. We played penalty, using the balcony door as the goal. haha. Foolish but fun!
Friday- Left school early and headed down to serangoon N&B to do some homework before meeting the MCG commitee members for evaluation of yesterday's event. Went for prayermeet then had gideon's potential careleader's meeting. After that, managed to enjoy some local delicacies at Chomp Chomp with Weilun, Freedy, desmond and Ruiyong. The food was really good, gave my tongue a night that it can never forget. haha. What rubbish. We ordered stingray, hokkien mee, satay, barbequed chicken wings, carrot cake,sugar cane juice and many more.Drools~. All the yummies caused my stomach to be bloated. lol.
Yes! Tomorrow's service again! Gonna be a great time of learning of God's word and fellowshipping with my Cg members. Won't really have the chance to do so next week, caused i will be away at OBS camp from Weds to Sunday. Urgh, so long. Nevertheless, i hope the outdoor camp will be an enriching one for me!
I need to sleep man. My eyes are closing already. Close, closing soon, closing, closed. =) Good night.
Tuesday, July 11, 2006 4:49 PMA few days ago, as usual, i was on my way home in the bus. But on that day, i passed by this relatively big open field. i saw 2 small kids running around with a happy and a carefree spirit. The smile that they put on their faces just makes me wonder if ever they have any burden to bear or anything to worry about.
After watching them, i was thinking to myself, when can i ever experience such carefree, burden-less life, where i have this huge abundance of space for me to run around and play. I was wondering if we can turn back time to where i was before. When i was small, i could just run around the playground, playing with some of my best friends, stay over at my cousin's place and we just play for the whole entire week. My work wasn't really a burden to me, all i care was just to play and enjoy my childhood. Happiness was the exact word that i can submerge myself into when i was young.
Sounds foolish i know, but that's exactly what my heart is feeling now.Now in college, i'm seriously stressed up, disappointed by my mid years. I need a short break, a vacation from everything i'm doing and just sit down before God.
I need a BIG BIG place for me to roam about and breathe, i need a break. =)
12:40 PMFriday- I had swimming competition in the morning. Was late for it, so i didn't do my regular warm up and i was ultimately stressed up for my event. As a result, i didn't swim as well as i could have. Learn a valuable lesson, i should have just take things easy and don't be so overly stress by it and should have done enough preparations and warm up. Urgh, okay i was i little disappointed with myself but i need to learn to move on. There's always next year? =). Headed to RC for CG, wow, my CG witnessed 12 people coming for CG! Its seriously a breakthrough for our CG! Furthermore, its 9 lower secondary people! wow! I'm just so awed by God's intervention in the CG and i can see a little glimpse of what God has planned for my CG! amen!
Led worship for prayermeet. It was a ministering one, all glory to HIM amen! Met up with Marcus for shepherding in NnB to eat Tau Huey then headed to Braddel Heights CC to play a round of street soccer. I didn't play with shoes so i played barefooted, eventually, i went home with blisters on my feet. Ouch!
Saturday- Went for service as usual, powerful and captivating sermon by Ps Jeff! After service, had lunch then headed down to RC for unit meeting. I taught during the meeting for the very first time! haha. It was a great experience and now, i know which areas i need to improve in my teaching! After meeting, i met up with my coreteam members do discuss about the upcoming week's agendas. After all the ministries, i was too tired to even go out to chill. Just want to go home and drown myself in the comfort of my bed and pillow. Well, i did that. HAHA.
Sunday- Headed down to Nexus for Combined Team Rally. It was the church's quaterly Careleader's meeting. Great sharing by Ps Jeff. Went to shop around in town with Freedy and Alvin for awhile before coming back home to do my econs essays and wait for the World Cup final. =) . The match was an exciting one. So many thrilling parts during the match, how the reflexes of Gianluigi Buffon and the defence expert Fabio Cannavaro drove the Italians into a unforgetable victory over the mighty French. Obviously, the limelight will be on Zinedine Zidane. The guy who was picked as the most talented and gifted soccer player during the last decade, his footwork on the ball, the contributions he gave to his teams are just immeasurably good. However, he some sorta ruined them all when he head butted Marco Materazzi. What a header by Zizou, not at the ball into the goal but at Materazzi and down he goes, into the tunnel. Foolish act? i don't know. haha. Maybe that's signs of age catching him up.
12:10 PMClarence
This dude here has been my sheep for very long already, and he has experienced tremendous growth in his walk with God! And he's still experiencing now amen! haha. He's very excited when come to praising and worshipping god, always see him giving his best and all when comes to worship god. He showed great hunger for the Word, and he has shown himself as a coreteam of the CG. Always there to surpport the CG, giving his best and all. I believe that God will have a great plan for this dude here! I will never forget the times we had during our camps, shepherding, shopping! and many many countless occasions. Continue to desire and up ur fervent spirit for Jesus! Be a careleader! =D
Andre
If anyone of you here do not understand the meaning of cheekiness, this is 1 guy you should meet. He clearly demonstrates the meaning of being Cheeky. urgh. He's not ashame to let all his CG people wait for him to wear his nike soccer shoe, and he'll take around 10mins to wear his shoes. Since he's just a secondary 1 dude, i will forgive him. =) . How loving of me. haha. This guy here has grown alot since he came to church last year. Such a young age yet desire and dream so big for Jesus, that's something commendable. He will always share about his dream and vision for his school of how Jesus will work through him and impact his current school. Always desiring and his unquenchable thirst for God just makes him an outstanding one. He will be a great servant for God, continue to keep up the good work and lets win the school for Jesus!
Sunday, July 09, 2006 9:48 AMWhenever i think of this word grace, i just can't help but to look up to heaven with Thanksgiving and give a smile to God. Many times, i've failed, many times i've sinned, many times, i've hurt him again and again. But always, without fail, he's there to forgive me, he's there to tell me, " My son, welcome home. =) ". His everlasting and comforting presence is enough to satisfy this emptiness inside my heart, which i believe that many people will have if they hasn't receive him.
Whenever i think that i'm useless, i'm not good enough for the task, i'm inadequate in certain things, i do not need to drown myself into the clutches of my pillow and flood it with my tears. Because i know, that no matter how lousy i am or even how good i am, He still loves me. He will still shower his endless and everlasting love upon me. Secular things are not my master, they do not control me. I do not need to show off to my friends how good am i, i do not need to chase for all the latest fashions, latest gadgets or to know of the most popular guy or girl in school just to attain acceptance from friends. Reason is that i found this wonderful Father, friend, comforter, companion and brother, all in one. =D .
Grace, something which all of us don't deserve and yet he still give it to us which was showed upon the cross 2000 years ago.Here's a part of the song Hillsong-From the inside out, that brings out the essence of grace.
A thousand times I've failed
Still Your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
I'm caught in Your grace
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
Wednesday, July 05, 2006 8:06 PMBeen down in my mood lately, not entirely bad mood, but just feeling discouraged. Partly is because of my block tests results. Although i haven't got to know my results, the comments made by my tutors are kind of negative. And for sure, my physics paper, only 4 persons passed. As expected, i'm not in that category. :/
Sometimes i just can't understand why i couldn't excel in my studies that i ought to be. My parents pin high hopes on me, i want to be a good example for God and i want to use my studies to glorify his name. As always, i failed to do so. Everytime people told me to do my best and to just work hard for it. I know i must try my best and i did, but the results just doesn't tally with the so called 'best' effort. I really wonder why. I never studied hard enough? Or is it i didn't listen during my tutorials? I did complete all my tutorials, i did listen during lectures and tutorials but why i still couldn't at least pass? Least to say excel in my studies.
I really don't want this to happen to me, i really want to do well in my ministry and studies. I want to excel in both, not just 1 of them. Sometimes i feel so ashamed to tell my people how i fare for my results, i don't want to get retain, i don't i want to spend 1 more year in College. I just want to graduate with a good results to go University like everyone else. Not that i'm asking alot right? Occasionally, i admire those people can managed their studies so well. They will have time to play, go out and have fun and at the same time, managed to dig out time for revision. The point is, once they revised, they will grasp hold of the concepts or the things they studied, whereas for me? I studied for my econs so many times before block tests, yet on the block test date itself, i can forget some of the points that i memorized. Stupidity? Short term memory? Lazy? Brain ain't big enough to contain the infomation? Oh well, i really don't know. I hope i can find out a answer soon enough.
Whenever i think about my term 2 and block tests results, they never fail to send a chill down my spine. I will be so freaked out and paranoid. What if i didn't make it for promotion? What if i did badly? What if what if what if? Ahhh..
The chorus by simple plan-untitled, speaks clearly of how i'm feeling now. =)
How could this happen to me
I've made my mistakes
Got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me?
Often, i do want to go to the beach and look upon the big endless horizon, and start screaming all my fustrations out. :/
Monday, July 03, 2006 10:15 PMMarcus
Has been the one helping me leading the group in school. Those gathering of contacts, helping me plan CG roles, leading the SA NEB3 dudes around. He's always faithful in accomplishing his tasks for the CG. He leads with great passion and great abundance of fervor being exemplify out when he's doing his ministry. Marcus has been a great aid to me and ultimately one of the strong pillars in this CG. He's very consistant in his walk with Jesus and he never fails to cheer up a person's day. =D . I've spent great time with him through many occasions like those soccer times we had at Braddell Heights, Careleader's retreat, Dao Huey at NnB and many many more. If you're reading my blog, I strongly believe that you possess great potential to go far in the Kingdom of God, utilise it well and continue to desire more for Jesus, love him and lets break a Unit size for our CG amen?!
Donavan
In actual fact, he's the guy i pity most in my coreteam. Reason is because he is the one that always being make fun of by us. HAHA. Countless times he's being bully by Andre, andre is a secondary 1 kid for your info, and sometimes by me, ironic. Talking about loving our sheeps, here's a " GOOD " example. hehe. He's a very cheerful brother, easy to communicate with, able to laugh at the simplicity of any jokes, possess great passion for Jesus. Donavan's goal is to be a careleader, to lead his own people, able to usher them into the presence of God and to grow his people to becoming more like Jesus. He's a brother with a simple heart for Jesus, in fact, he's a person that is okay with almost anything. Ask him where does he wants to dine at? He'll always say " Anything." okay, maybe he will say the chicken wing rice at SR.HAHA. Cheap and good. He loves eating, you'll know it when you meet him face to face. LOL. sorry donavan. HAHA. Donavan if you're reading this, lets win the school for Jesus amen?! You can do it! =D
I will affirm the rest of my coreteam members in the next few posts. Now i will blog about other things. I was practically rotting myself at home yesterday. I want to go out to shop and buy clothes!! I sounded so deprived and yes!! I am, all thanks to the block test that blocks all enjoyment away from you. Spent the whole day asking if people are free to go out and finally, this corny thing happened. Firstly, i get know that donavan suffered a stiff neck because of his sleeping position the previous night and he told me he couldn't go out. So i didn't ask him. Then i decided to go shop on my own, take it as a spiritual retreat with God. But when i wanted to go off, i told him i will be heading to The Cathay Cineplex's Adidas shop to purchase some stuff, and Donavan told me this " oh, i dont mind." He told me just now that he has a neck problem and couldn't go out. Now, he told he don't mind. Don't know what is going on in his mind. HAHA.
Went to the adidas to purchase a orange color hooded jacket! Its nice! Costs me a bomb though. But after buying it, i felt that i should have bought the brown colored one instead. Orange kinda difficult to match with clothes but nevertheless, its still nice! whaha. Headed down to Suntech to shop for little while, ate KFC then headed home.
Today, had swimming training in toa payoh. Get to know the details about the upcoming competition on Thurs and Friday. Will be swimming 100m and 200m individual breastroke. And also medly relay. LOL. Headed down to RC to have meeting with my coreteam dudes. Great time of fellowshipping and learning from god's word. Prayer, worship and intercession for the school. Fruitful time. Went to play soccer! omg, i scored a fluke goal. The goal wasn't meant to be a shot by me, i wanted to cross the ball but the ball apparently went into the net. HAHA.
Tomorrow's school again, dreads, will be getting back my block tests results, i think i need to prepare myself a casket in case i die. HAHA.
4:56 AMIts totally a joke for this year's world cup. Firstly, lots of expected stuff happened. Like Germany, with their home surpport, managed to SQUEEZE themselves into the semi-finals past the Argentina. I was totally distraught by what happened on Friday night. Argentina lost to those stupid bull faced Germans. urgh. And worst still, England knocked out by Portugal. I admit England's lousy and lacklustre performance throughout their entire time in Germany is enough to make people think they shouldn't even step into the German's soil. Whatever the case, i will still surpport them. haha.
The English wonder kid Wayne Rooney just got back from injury and he hasn't yet find his shooting boots in this year's World Cup, but i believe that he will make his mark in 4years time. Definitely he will, he's Rooney afterall? haha. This morning's Brazil vs France, just turn me off totally for this WC. Brazil lost 1-0 due to Henry's goal in the far post. Brazil got 1 of the most talented team this year. Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Kaka, Robinho, Roberto Carlos, Adriano --> 6 world class players in a single team can't make it into at least the semi finals?! I'm just amused by them. France played well, they controlled the game and their attack were more threatening than Brazil, ironic. Surpposedly Brazil's attacking sambal football were the best. LOL.
Went for Prayer Meet on Friday, was great! After that, went to watch Just My Luck with Alvin and weilun at Cathay. The show is very nice!! I love it! headed down to Kenryu's house to watch Germany vs Argentina. Cabbed home with alvin, he stayed at my house. haha. Service on saturday. Meeting at RC, CL meet at nexus, ended my ministry at around 10, rushed to PS to catch Superman. That show, omg, its stupid. I don't like the plot and i hate the smile that superman put up on his face. The girl will ask " Will be you be around? " Superman answered " I will always be around. =) " He said that around 3-4 times ?! And that sickening smile, just make my hair stand. urr.... Went to eat Tau huey at Selegie with Freedy ruiyong and siewluan at around 1plus?! haha.. Very little people. Take the midnight bus down to Serangoon and cabbed home.
After a day of ministry, i'm super exhausted physically. BUT spiritually, i'm just so excited to what's gonna happen in NorthEast and my CG. The holy spirit is moving so eminently that the people's spirit is different compared to other harvest seasons. Revival will definitely come upon my CG, we'll hit our goal by end August of 15 people! Unit size for Jesus! The next post, i gonna affirm my coreteam dudes! =D
Saturday, July 01, 2006 5:17 AMYES! FREEDOM has finally arrived. After weeks of slogging out for my block tests, now its finally over. Whenever such tests are around the corner, they totally sucks the life out of you and you'll be just stuck in your study room, studying non stop. Telling yourself you can do well when you did'nt even finish your revision. Dark heavy eyebags will start appearing, your hair will get messier because of late night sleep and being overly stressed up for the block tests.
I can confirm that i won't do well in the tests. First was the physics paper. It sux to the core. OK. Maybe i didn't study thats why but i hate physics! Why didn't i take H1 physics instead?! AAHh.. no point dreading over that. I've just gotta move on and work hard for it. Next, General Paper, for the composition, i wrote out of point. I misinterpreted the question and thought it was another meaning. Conclusion after Day 1 of test, both tests FAIL. Day 2, was particularly alright, as it was Economics. I think i will just merely get a pass thats all. The paper's tough. Day 3 was Maths and Chinese. Both papers were 3 hours each?! In total, i spent 6hours in that miserable hall. Didn't really please with the lights, find it kinda dim. Maths, i feel that i could have done better but i think i made quite a few careless mistakes. Chinese was a disaster. Seems like the usual saying of SAS dudes can't make a mark in chinese, i believe i'm one of the common example. Hehe. Day 4 of tests was just H1 History. I find the paper alright i wrote quite alot. haha. Should have taken H2 history instead. Urgh, nvm. No point ranting over it.
Whenever i see some of my friends who are so smart in their studies. I get to know of people who took physics and before their actual A levels, they practically just take out their physics Ten-year-series answer booklet and read. Result? A for phyiscs. I'm totally awed by them. Sometimes, freaked out too. lol. But i believe that God has different gifts for each individual. I'm just gonna do my best in whatever He entrusted me with and rely on his strength to accomplish the task.
After the block test, i find a sudden abundance of free time to do my ministry and my AOB stuff. It used to be that during my free time, i will study? Now, i find myself too much time. LOL. For instance today, i only got programs at around late afternoon, from morning till then, im free. okay! but i only allow myself to enjoy for 1 week before i start studying for my promotional exams. I need to start soon because my block test will not go well and i dont want to get retain in that miserable college. HAHA. Just get over and done with the A levels and move on to University. ( provided i can make it. :/)
Been thinking of studying overseas lately after my As. I wanna expose myself more to the outside world other than living within the clutches of my comfortable home. Im thinking of countries like US, UK or Australia. Depending on what course i will be taking in the future. Haven really decide though, but just pondering over it. =D
