The sunday post returns....

yay its back, the sunday post.
my, its 4 am. I shld be slping.

Now im "quite" tired i dunnoe wad to talk abt.

Sunday, is a day where u wake up, get rdy to go church, go church, go home. And then type blog maybe ???

Cell. Pizza for lunch. went 4 3pm p&w, and then the tech team thingy!! haha. Then i reached home, watched tv, slacked more, met flan 4 rackets and supper. Home....... .............. and then its 4 am.

First cell and pizza. I like pizza. I like my cell too, well in a way. Ok today is juz sharing. And i shared how i had such an exciting week lvling my new warrior in Luna, start doing my QT again, how im so happy to c sivam back in singapore, and we managed to play our new dynasty warriors, and munchkin!! Haha not to forget slacking at starbucks with eug and flan. The interesting msn convo with zj about seeking His kingdom first, how i looked forward 2 sunday so much and the firz tech team "tic-tac-toe" session lol. How i looked forward to watching transformers, but didn't get to. How i feel so blessed that im given this precious holiday. That im juz able to rejoice in each day that He has given me =)

Nah im joking, i did not share all of that. None at all. I said "Nothing". And that was it. Nothing, i dunnoe how the above paragraph came about. Nah it didn't exist... yup it didn't. My week was nothing. yup yup. But anyway good to c the cell going somewhere ya. People coming back from overseas refreshed. Haha maybe i will talk about this another day haha.

Ok nxt thing will be tech team! ya it was juz open sharing. N im pretty sure i will get arrowed, given the fact im a ML. Hmm i really wish to hear the younger ones share, i guess we older ones have our struggles too. But yea i had smthing on my head but once i got hit by the "arrow", my mind went blank, again, lol expected. Ya shared about my convictions in tech blah blah blah. Hope this sharing thingy will ultimately lead to people serving more whole-heartedly and out of a overflow. Yup.

And the standard stuff... more standard stuff. I love my standard stuff, i love to rot. Stop judging me zzzz. I'm not superman, and i certainly won't try to be one. Enough.

Haiz the long and narrow path.... its really narrower den i thought. So much , so much more. Ohh how can i ever even think of walking it alone...........................

[Yet another sunday. ]

Good morning world!!

Haha good morning evry1 !!!
Something is wrong... errr... i dunnoe y i woke up in such a good mood today!!!
:):):):):):):):):)

Hahaha maybe im juz bored... or i muz have woken up at the right side of the bed.
Anyway...

Ok i actually dunnoe wad to blog about. As u can c, i did not write about sunday yesterday, was too "busy" playing game. ops :P
Ya lets juz say my sundays always rocked. lol. (becuz im too lazy again to blog abt it. ) Cell, tech , sleep, luna and sleep again.

Ok on a more serious note i have been reflecting on my personality, lol dunnoe how to phrase it exactly, but its kinda hard to force myself to go against my personality for the sake of being more in sync. Ya i find people tiring, im not the ra-ra make friends with every1 type, so u dun c me talking to random people on msn, hanging out with a big group of people, organising outing with many many people. Ya so becuz of that, m i not doing enuff ?? i noe we muz always reach out and blah blah, but somehow, somewhere, i always wished that He has a place 4 some1 like me =)

All thats said,but i still luv all my friends!!! Life becomes so blessed with evry1 of ya... Hahaha :)

Ok time to press "Play" on life. adious??? (ahh wadeva wiz the speelz )

[ This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it = ) ]

Honour

Seriously, get over it alr lol.
Ya i dun noe y i value my honour so much, its like i have to upkeep my integrity at all cost, its strange. Put me in a ancient movie n i probably be one of those stupid guys that will protect their Master at all cost. lol to me.

Anyway i watched terminator today!!! Haha not bad, but i do not fully understand the plot. But its juz nice lah, all the action scenes. Hmm yup means i actually managed to watched the 2 movies i wanted so badly to watch !! Yea thx evry1 =)

Ok people say i changed, but look at all my prev post n i said i didn't. Looked like lah, but probably at most 10% of me changed. hahaha.

Ok its sunday :) Blessed day people !

[ Nah it will be wrong. Juz me i guess ]

Today Today

Err i meant yesterday... And it was a sunday lol.
Ok ya yesterday was a fellowship sunday, since a long time haha. Ya and it was in my house, so yea my wii and blokus were fulling utilised lol. And then we went 4 mos burger for lunch. Yup yup ended up being very late 4 the 3pm rehearsal haha. Anyway i served for 3pm and the rehearsal after that. And went 4 bel farewell dinner (ok only 1 mth), ate quite a lot of pizza :). After which i head to starbucks to use up my voucher.
Ok that sums up my sunday :)

Yea like im going out alot leh, when i should be staying at home lol. Hmm i dunnoe. Ok lah i recently realised the importance of a community in church by observing the people ard. Hmm yup too much random stuff again. I should end this post now becuz i feel very busy even tho im on holiday.

And i got a new laptop!! 1300 only!! and its as power as my desktop lah. I luv my gaming toys, i cant use all of them, but i juz like them to be around. lol. 10 min post ftw!!!

[ Nothing changed. Im still as blur and quiet wahahaha :P ]

Faith

Or so thats the theme of the speechlite camp... heh heh

Ya i didnt really slp when i came back from camp lah. lol. Ended up playing x-box. But thats not the point....

Anyway im very thankful for the camp!! Considering how much resistance i had towards it... this camp is very good alr. I didn't want to expect much from this camp, but my expectations were met, goes to show His faithfulness =)

[random column] I actually prayed for my team members during ministry time. Its my firz time acting in the position of the leader lah. I'm always on the other end haha. I felt really privilliged to b able to do that, haha =). And im a quiet guy, get over it, i can talk random rubbish smtimes, but im a introverted guy. 89% introverted according to DISC. Ya so dun expected me act ra-ra suddenly, i have already opened up, u dun have to ask me to again, becuz our definition of that is different. Ok i admit the previous camp i didnt really open up lol. [/random column]

The camp was over 4 days, will be quite boring to go thru day by day lol. Think this camp sets me back on the rite track again. at least it can be a start haha. U noe being in the power group and observing their conviction really get me going, thanks to the group!
Ok lah i learnt alot, but it will be pointless to put it down in words only. I would rather apply it, and that will take time. So therefore i wont say what i learnt becuz i havent "learnt" it yet :)

In this camp i heard very "inspiring" phrases. You noe, like getting the enlightened moment (or revelation ) when some1 said smthin. Your mind goes wha... and 10000 lightbulbs lighted up around ur head kinda thing. Yup so i shall share them here......

1. "Repent of not loving Him the way we should"

Heard this on the firz day, in regards to rev 2:4. losing our firz love.....
You noe, when people talk about repentence, they talk about repenting their wrong ways, all the things they should not do, all the things they did not do, blah blah. But no1 ever talked about repenting for not loving Him, ok i couldn't get over this phrase. It didn't occur to me that was the problem, i always thought by repenting of all our wrongdoings we will get back our firz love, n i always knew smthing was missing there, like a missing step. Imagine if we repented of everything but not loving Him, we will juz end up going in circles. Becuz without that kind of love nothing changes, nothing.

2. "Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bonds of peace. -Eph 4:3 "

Ya i heard that during the ministry workshop. The keyword is keep. That blew me away haha. Basically wad it says, in regards to ministry, we r to keep the unity. Again, we r supposed to keep wad He was given us, to use it for Him. Thats all. Ya that is all, keep and thats it. Haha really, thats all we can do. Its all given by Him, we do nothing to "add" to it. Ya something like what Mace Windu said in star wars (ya lol random stuff like that come to my mind haha) "We are keepers of the peace, not soldiers. " in regards to the role of jedi knights in the republic. Jedi knights aren't supposed to fite in the war, as in they r not a fighting unit. True that they can wield lightsabers and look almost imba in combat, but u dun c Yoda gathering all His jedi knights and then going to war unlike the spartans in 300. (Haha thats the best parallel i can think of, both r very good at fighting, but they act differently.) And they like to talk about maintaining the order of the force lol, they dun talk about killing off the invaders...
Similarly, we r to keep this unity, thats our role in ministry. When we come together to serve Him and His people, we r simply maintaining wad He has blessed every1 with. All the fighting is not done by us, He is doing it for us. Too often we hold ourselves responsible for the fighting, and in doing so we start to lose wad He has in store. And ultimately He is in charge, becuz its His to begin with :) Of cuz this is not an excuse to slack off, notice the words "Make every effort" before it, this shows a kind of trying really hard and yet leaving it all in His hands at the same time, something that requires faith =)

3. I cant rmb the exact words. i shall try to phrase it.
" Becuz of the kind of God's love that the leaders have shown me, i begin to start to love myself, and in doing so, start loving God "

wow, that totally sums up wad i went thru. I did not said that, n i certainly dunnoe how to phrase it. On firz look this phrase looks abit flawed and selfish, so i shall attempt to explain it. Ahh will be much clearer if i tell story instead hahaha.

Fine. i used to hate myself, in a way. I hated many things in my life. Anyway, i couldn't understand His love, i couldn't even love, i refused to know wad it is. So i had this cell leader that tried to showed that kind of love to me, and nothing happened. Ya still nothing happened, i still hate myself lol. There was no bright light, no sudden desire or anything. But after some time, i begin to question if it is still worth it hating myself, y m i doing this when there is still love ard. Thats when i begin to start to love myself. It didn't occur overnite, a really long time i might add, that by the time i learnt it, my leader has long left. Basically i begin to value my own life, i didn't want to waste it becuz that will will be wasting all the effort my leader and many others has put in, i thought i was being very unfair to them if i still continue hating me. And so i began my journey to love myself, and without me hating myself, God can then begin working in me. The rest, they say, is history :)
Therefore it is very impt for leaders to start showing love firz, if not the members will nv be able to understand wad His love is no matter how much u tell them.

Took me about one and a half hours to type this lah. I thought i will be done in 15 lol. Thats is all have a nice day!

[ I walk by faith, each step by faith. ]

Another normal post!

Ok i will try again.... normal post lol

Haha i went to minds on sat nite with eug , em, lin and jia. Ok lah after i come back from the retreat den start to plan liao. I so miss going out lah. I miss watching movies even more. (MY TERMINATOZ and NITEZ @ E MUSEM. dun tink i will watch it :( ) Its the "my holidays have finally started" feel. We played Coda mostly. Its really scary playing with people who analyse wad u say and ur actions lah. I only analyse the numbers, dun like to think so much. But im quite lucky with guessing random numbers, /roll ftw!!
Yup reached home at 3. Took the niterider, its em firz time taking that lah. lol. Anyway i got home and watch house and history channel. Finally felt sleepy enuff at 5.

As expected i failed to wake up on time for cell. Ok if i can teleport i will still be late lah. Was comptemplating whether i should go since im so late liao. Then amelia msg me "You are late!". Since im technically late, i cannot be "never" anymore. Better late then nv lol. So juz go lor.
Haha i reached there at 12, im so getting banned soon. Jon led the msg on the fruits of the spirit. I shared smthin about joy and trapped myself lol, i dun have the vocab to describe it. Too numb to rmb anything liao haha :)
Yea went for cell lunch at kaki bukit. Ate abalone 4 the firz time i think, stuffed inside the xiao long bao. Zzz horrible taste, its really raw lah. Must be low quality one hahaha. Then went for 3 pm serving ( typo : its service :P ) after that. eug join too. I thought the last part was quite ministering ya. Anyway after service i saw my bro, so i went home with him lor. I went to cold storage firz while my bro led the blind man to his bus stop. Then we went shopping after that. Yup for groceries lol, for our dinner hahaha. Decided on making our own sandwiches, not bad haha. Err started packing for camp after that. I hate packing lah. So i anyohow, havent finish yet, will pack evrything tmr.

Its NOT spdlite camp!!! Reflex i keep saying spdlite camp lah. Its faith camp/ spdreachlite camp. Ya another camp, 4 days to give unto Him. How nice =)

I tink im afraid of disappointment. Maybe thats y i like to run away. Better never than disappointed. (ok wad i juz said seems to suggest smthing that im not suggesting zzzz, so i shall clarify ) . Ok wad i mean is that im so afraid of dissapointment that everything is ok to me (according to jia haha). Everything is fine, anything is ok with me, nothing is fine with me too. You c, if nothing, anything and everything is ok with u, how r u gonna be disappointed?? In any way?? about wad when u have no benchmark the firz place. Haha i guess im juz trying real hard to make my life simple, so that i will be happier, or should i say, not so emo hehe. Think im fine with it, which in itself is contradicting. But im fine with it, i dun c y i should "copy" evry1 else, im not a fan of "cookie-cutters" anyway, lol :)

Hope that wasn't too confusing, and that this post is still "normal" enuff. Lastly, have a blessed week every1!

[ I shall try to have fun in camp again ]

Haha today felt like another day. err.. i dunnoe. well i went 4 cell and camp briefing and served blah blah blah.... nah spare the details.

I got my camp group! not in the same group as my cell members :( Got into the "lao lao" group. Ya always liddat 1. The power thing is that now go camp no nid to intro liao. Becuz every1 alr noe each other, at least by name...

I dunnoe how to describe today, or my week, or my month.. lets juz say put lots of smileys to describe it. :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

hahaha im not particularly happy too, no special events, nothing new really, juz the same old me. Maybe thats enuff to make me happy haha, think i have no wants in life or smthing liddat. Or im juz a boring person. Maybe i desire to be boring. Maybe im juz bored with life, or myself, or others, or everything else. Either way, i dun care, i will juz add more smileys haha =)

Yup yup yup. Goodbye and have a nice week ...
