Imagine a world without LOVE

Wow my blog has truly been dormant...

2009-06-17T07:46:00.000-07:00

Wow so many months have passed and finally a post by me again...haiz my posts have been few and far between because I ain't really cut out for writing blog posts....but here i go

Just want to say the past 3 months have been eventful:

April - my bday
May - Queenstown Lutheran Church funfair
June - Church retreat and leaders retreat

Anyway about the church retreat, we did something called the "Underground Church" and the plan was to spur the youths on to take their faith seriously and to show them the potential that God had placed in their lives. To some it was a torture, to some it was a joke but to almost all, the experience really got them thinking about what they have been doing(or not doing) and about our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ who are suffering for the faith.

After yesterday's QT sharing in botanical gardens on 1 Thessalonians 3, God really spoke to us to love one another and perserve amidst difficulties and affliction. It's really amazing how God speaks and has spoken to me for the past 3 weeks.
1) Struggling to accept whether the experience was good
2) Reassuring me throught the Word and prayer
3) Granting me so many truths and encouragement during and after it..

Anyway last but not least, kudos to all the youths for not renouncing your faith and may you continue to persevere in the Word and for God's glory!

Crucified with Christ?

2009-03-29T07:30:00.000-07:00

Galatians 2:20

"I have been crucifed with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me"

Isn't it wonderful that Jesus promises to be with us no matter what life brings? Be it good or bad. We always hear that life is not a bed of roses.... But I beg to differ, life IS a bed of roses, but what people always leave out is that roses have THORNS! So following Jesus is not going to be easy, precisely that is why we must live by His promises.

To God be the glory, forever and ever, Amen

Joke after 3 months:

Read Exodus 8:10, Pharoah's reply after the whole of Egypt has been ravaged by frogs and Moses gives him the decision when he wants the frogs to be gone. And his reply, TOMORROW?????

Imagine your house full of ants and crawling everywhere and even into your ears and hair, and the pest control is at your door, and you reply "TOMORROW then come!"

I don't know about you, but I find this super funny (this joke was from FOP'2008)

WOOHOO!!!!

2009-01-15T17:59:00.000-08:00

AHAHAHAHAHAHA today super happy, added 2GB to my handphone and added 4GB of RAM to my laptop. Now its finally running at the speed it is supposed to, WOOHOO!!!

As you can see, I'm really happy. Because of what God has done for the youths and what He has guided me to come out with for the youths.

Yesterday met up with darren and heard about his love life also, glad to hear a fellow brother in Christ approaching a R/S maturely.

Praise God

Dreams do come true

2008-12-30T07:48:00.000-08:00

Feelings, heartbreaks, uncertainties and painful experience. God has used to them to help me grow spiritually and mentally. Why do I say this? As I look back at 2008, God had His hand in everything that I did. Mirror ministry, spiritual growth, growing from setbacks and discovering more about myself and being loved. But how was all this done? It was because I started to study and memorise verses from the Bible. God's Word is amazing on how it can change a person.

Look back at your past, has there been changes in your life where it is not humanly possible? Do you recognise it as God's Hand working?

Finally, all the heartbreaks in the past, it was well worth it as I seemed to have found someone to feel the same way i have with her.

Mentoring and Intentional disciplemaking

2008-08-24T20:31:00.000-07:00

As stated clearly in the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19, we are to "go and make disciples of all nations". And learning from the IDMC (intentional disciple making church) conference, the key to world evangelisation is through mentoring and intentional disciplemaking. So how is that done? There is no hard and fast rule but 1st and foremost, we must have a close walk and passionate daily journey with our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, we have to go back to very roots of our faith, the Bible and prayer. Without these 2, we have no foundation in Christ at all. So how can we do it? How can we be a true disciple of Christ in the 1st place?

Here are the 4 steps to being a disciple of Christ and also being a mentor:

1) Discover the truths from the Bible (through the working of the Holy Spirit)
- Read and study the Bible
- Journal down thoughts and learning points that the Holy Spirit has impressed upon your heart
- Devote time to prayer and meditating on the Word
- Memorise key verses

2) Apply what the Holy Spirit has led you to discover through the Word of God
- Use the scriptures as a basis for decision-making in your everyday life
- Use the scriptures to pray for others
- Live out the truths discovered (for eg. Being Salt and Light of the world - infleunce others through the Word and reflect God in a way that glorifies Him)
- Be inquisitive about what you have learnt (Ask spiritually mature Christians if what you have learnt is correct or if they have any further input to benefit your learning experience with God)

3) Reap the benefits (claim the blessings God has promised in the Word)
- Be encouraged through the Word
- Pray fervently and passionately
- Have a insatiable appetite for God's Word
- Love Jesus deeply from the heart TOTALLY
- Surrender all to God
- Bearing the cross

4) Pass it on! (It only takes a spark...WOO HOO! to get the fire going)
- Yes, pass it on, use the truths from the Word to bless others (be it non-believers or fellow brothers and sisters in Christ)
- Spread the gospel
- Preaching what you practise (meaning that you have already experienced it, so your testimony would be true and heartfelt love for Jesus and naturally, instead of just mere words, you will impart your lives and learning to your mentorees)

Yes, that's why I encourage you to have a daily walk with our Lord, Jesus Christ. Nothing is more important than that. If you feel reading the Word or praying is very difficult, let me encourage you by saying, it does not take much, there are 3 things you need only:

1) Teary eyes - Crying and acknowledging that you are insufficient and you need Jesus
2) A Broken Heart - Proclaiming that only Jesus is capable of mending your heart which is ravaged by sin and darkness
3) Bent knees - Surrendering all at the foot of the cross (be humble and reverent)

Last but not least, let me end with a prayer for you from Ephesians 1:18-20

"I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms"

From the words of the sermon yesterday,

DO YOU KNOW JESUS? or DO YOU JUST KNOW WHO HE IS? (that difference can determine which eternity is awaiting you)

Joke of the day:

Small boy holding bible:

Wow, God is great, He parted the Red Sea and saved the Israelites from Egypt!

Atheist:

Boy, there is a scientific explanation for that. Studies have shown that part of the Red Sea has only 6 inches of water and anyone can easily walk through even to this very day. NOTHING GREAT! (feels proud and good he has discouraged another in their faith)

Few moments later....

Small boy holding Bible:

(Even louder now) Wow, God is GREAT!!!!!!!!

Atheist:

Are you dumb or did you just hear what I just said?

Small boy holding Bible:

Yes I did, the Israelites walked over the Red Sea over 6 inches of water. But DO you know why I shouted God is great again? Imagine, God is able to drown the WHOLE ARMY of Pharoah(chariots and soldier and horses) using only 6 inches of water!!!!!

Atheist:

pengz

Moral of the story:
GOD is above science.

I'm greatly encouraged by this!

Talking about a passion for missions....2 missionaries from YWAM (Youth with a Mission) went to thailand and learnt muay thai and went around to various gyms to spread the gospel. Now they have set up their own gym to benefit the trainers, trainees and the community.

Btw their website is :

http://www.injesus.com/index.php?module=group&task=details&GroupID=MT021DWZ

Alot of people think that muay thai is evil and spiritual and very violent, but if your focus is on God and your aim is to be fitter and to touch lives, isn't it wonderful? I really am encouraged by their work as tentmakers in a foreign country and spreading the gospel in a country where Buddhism is so so dominant.

For their work and for all the missionaries and tentmakers out there, "Phra Jao uay phra pon" which means GOD BLESS YOU!

Joke of the day:

Great quote from Hudson Taylor!

2008-07-28T07:44:00.000-07:00

God's Work done in God's Way will never lack God's resources

When you go about your life serving God, never never worry for that shows disrespect to God's sovereignty and providence.

Doorstep Missions and Spreading the Gospel!

2008-07-19T07:02:00.000-07:00

There is nothing more important than spreading the Good news or the Gospel. For those that do not understand, the Good news is that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came down on earth to die for our sins that we can have an eternal R/S with God if we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. Jesus rose from the dead and is seated at the right hand of God and that is why we celebrate Easter Sunday.

Therefore, let us GO and give others a chance at knowing this wonderful Saviour and letting them experience a life where God is leading us every step of the way.

Please read your bible everyday and remember to pray for those who are less fortunate, needy, and have not heard to gospel. Pray for your friends that they have open hearts that they would be willing to hear from the Word of God.

As for Doorstep Missions, there are 1 million foreigners (not born in Singapore) currently living in Singapore. 80% of them have not heard the gospel b4. Let us pray and make efforts to care, not to be prejudiced and live lifes that show that God loves them too. Let us tell them of God's love and grace.

Let us remember the Great Commission and not make it the Great Omission:

Matthew 28:19

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"

Nations here does not mean countries but it means people groups (ethnic groups/ people of different race/background).

Let the Mirror Youth Ministry be one that aims to glorify God and be like Him. As in our theme verse (for those that dunno) 2 Corinthians 3:18 :

" And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed in his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit."

10 new things I have learnt about myself in the month of June!

2008-07-04T07:29:00.000-07:00

1) I seem to work as well with kids as well with youths (children are just so cute, needing to be loved and smiling at you, so innocent and faithful...no wonder God wants us to have a childlike faith)

2) I can't stay up as late as I used to (I couldn't last past 2am in the church retreat, kept feeling sleepy and same for the children's camp wiv the LCCS)

3) I can roundhouse kick a height of 1.8m (during the 3rd lesson of muay thai)

4) I have better stamina and fitness (being able to play with youths from 10am till 6pm at sentosa, then 1 week later playing soccer from 10am till 4pm, all under the blistering sun)

5) I am still learning with regards to preparing bible study

6) I'm eating alot less than I used to

7) I am more mild-mannered than I was in army and JC

8) I am able to like someone for 1 and half years but still keep it from her (to guard her heart and to allow God to work in mine)

9) Reading ain't so bad

10) Yesterday was history, Tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift, that's why its called PRESENT!

Joke of the day:

If a durian dropped from the sky, would you catch it with your right or left hand (this is to test your natural hand, sometimes it may not be the hand you write with)

Answer:

So who said left or who said right? Either answer you must be crazy, I wouldn't catch a durian falling from the sky AT ALL. I would be mad to do so. LOL....sry just being boliao

Muay thai is really really tiring! But rewarding!

2008-06-02T07:48:00.000-07:00

Wah itz been a while since i blogged and I just want to say....Muay thai could be the key to me losing the weight that has stuck wiv me all my life and I can be fit when I go to Nepal for missions...

And another thing...you have to listen to this gal sing:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QUh6CLBZN8&NR=1

search for all her songs...she will melt your heart and she made me tear...she's only 6 but sings as good as anyone...

Joke of the day:

A little girl and a little boy went to the doctor. The girl went in 1st and came out crying. The boy asked, "Why? What happened?" The girl said "I came for a blood test and the doctor cut my finger to take out some blood" Then the shocking thing happened, the boy started crying. The girl asked "Why are you crying?"

Want to guess the boy's reply?

Answer:

The boy replied " I am coming for a urine test today!"

Thanks and kudos to u all

2008-05-12T21:31:00.000-07:00

REally wana thank God for His guidance and blessings for the 1st half of a year of my full-time ministry as a youth worker...He has really pulled me through and led me every step of the way...And for the youths, really would like to thank you all for all your encouragement and love and care and concern...you know who you are...and its usually those that read my blog...thanks...

Yesterday, I had the urge to compete once again...I have not had this feeling since last year... I wanted to quit playing pool competitively because I knew it would take alot of time and affect my ministry...But the adrenalin rush and the feeling of playing well at something you excel...that feeling is indescribable...I dunno...but sometime soon, if God permits, I would like to play in a major tournament once again...not for glory or money or whatever...just the feeling of using the gift God has blessed me with...I don't care about rankings anymore...I just want to play my best...losing also is fine...as long I compete...

Pain in my heart, but burden lifted

2008-05-02T08:47:00.000-07:00

Finally...after praying and letting God talk to me...I have finally decided that although the gal of my dreams may be sweet, caring, kind and kinda angelic...she isn't the one for me...

Pains my heart but i guess its for the better before I do anything i will regret...i finally saw the light when i just feel i'm not able to communicate with her at a level where i can get to know her better...I seem to talk to all my other female frenz and communicate so much better with them than her...I guess its just finally I let God wake me up from this year-long dream and opened my eyes to the focus which should be on Him...

Therefore, I doubt you will c the happy happy go lucky josiah for a while...He's taking a holiday...you will c a more toned-down and maybe even boring josiah...He's trying to get rid of his pain in heart and focus on serving God...

Bible Study and Prayer group!

2008-04-07T20:32:00.000-07:00

Hi, this is to all the youths in the Mirror Ministry...I would like to know the interest level of you all with regards to small group bible study and prayer....the bible study would be done by an area basis. Meaning I will meet whoever is interested depending whether you stay in the north, west, central or east of Singapore, I will go to your area (maybe eg is like east I meet you all at tampines mall). If anyone is interested in having bible study to learn more abt God, please indicate to me.

As for the prayer group, I'm finding youths who are interested to pray for our ministry as a whole. It will be done before/after youth meetings. If interested, please indicate to me too.

Rememeber, bible study and prayer are vital for the growth of the youth ministry. Because without it, we would not be even able to call ourselves part of the Christian church. I will be praying God will instill the passion of His word in you and ignite the hunger for prayer.

Believe it or not...yesterday was the 1st time I watched I not stupid 2...wow that show really shows the heartache of singaporean youths and parents alike...the pursuit of education...the pursuit of monetary excellence...trying to make a better life for the family...love and care among true blue friends...owning up to your mistakes...parents taking time to understand their children...

Honestly....I teared quite abit...because the show made me understand how blessed God has allowed me to be...my family, my friends, my life...even though I have done so much wrong....God still forgives me and allows me to go forward with Him...

As for my family and friends, they have always been by my side through the hard times...and definitely we share the good times...therefore I say to all...appreciate your friends and family...because they DO care about you and want the best for you...

I cried when the little brother said: FAMILY, you know the meaning? It means FATHER AND MOTHER I LOVE YOU.

Such a simple sentence, yet so profound. Now I would like to emphasise, is V day so impt? To those who are looking forward to that day, Feb 14th happens to Friendship Day also. Remember your priorities and not focus all ur time on who you like...but the people around you who have been with you through thick and thin.....

I Kiss Dating Goodbye

2008-01-07T20:36:00.000-08:00

To everyone that reads my blog, I highly recommend the book " I kiss dating goodbye". It would totally revolutionise your thinking about finding a life partner and points you to the correct direction which is to totally rely on God when it comes to the heart matters. Unlike what the Title suggests, the book is about how we should approach our feelings and actually dating can be wrong without commitment.

This is because if you are truly ready to commit, you must be also ready to accept that as your life partner, meaning you must expect to marry the person. And being rooted in the Lord Jesus is also very very important. I can't emphasise this point more than enough. I have seen many relationships broken up because of differing faiths or religion. If it is rooted in Christ and the focus is about God, the relationship will prosper with the help of God.

Remember guys and gals, love is about giving and never expecting anything in return. So if you really think you like/love someone, you would be willing to give anything for that person to be stronger in God..not like you more and try imagining the person 30 years older..will you still like the person then without the looks? If you can truly answer this questions..maybe you are ready to let God show you the person He has promised...

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy NEW year

2008-01-02T16:58:00.000-08:00

Thank the Lord Jesus for blessing the youths with so much fun and laughter during the festive season and blessing us with such good weather for the Christmas be here event and the Prepare the way youth camp. We shared really good fellowship and made many new friends. Thank you Lord for guiding us through the short deadlines and the difficult times in 2007 and we look forward to 2008 with total faith and hope in you Lord Jesus.

These are my thoughts for the year 2007. Who would have expected? The crazy guy from Fairfield sec, JJC and NTU would end up being the youth worker of Queenstown Lutheran Church. But this is a miracle I tell u. God really works in wonderous ways and it just shows here. After my graduation, I had problem finding jobs I liked. I got the job but I felt that I would not have liked it there. And so on and so forth. God was telling in my heart to come to Him non-stop...It was so clear in my head I could not deny it..Then my mum one day suggested why don't I be the permenant youth worker since I enjoy the youth ministry so much. Then it clicked in my head. That was the start of the most important and rewarding decision of my life.

I really would like to thank all the youths for their love and support for me even though I have done nothing much and is not worthy. I hope we can together bring up the youth ministry to greater heights with total reliance on the Lord God Almighty. God is sovereign, always remember that. I would like to thank my family for their overwhelming support...and for all their years of love and care..for those that know my parents..you should know how joker my dad is and how loving my mum can be...so I guess I take abit from both and its sort of a great compliment to them..One of my mum's dreams is to have one of her sons serving full-time..How wonderful God provides and fulfills dreams...

I would like to thank all my friends for making me the person I am today. It is because in the midst of troubles and fun, friends are the ones that dedicate their time and effort to make you feel better or just to make your day. To all Josiah Yeo's friends, I raise my hat and salute you for taking all the rubbish and the jokes that I have bombarded your lives with. I love you all and we will definitely stay friends for life.

Last of all, I would like to thank all the people that have hurt me in my lifetime. These people have moulded my heart and thoughts. But it is for a good thing because I am more forgiving and loving as ever. Because I do not ever want to have anyone else feel the same as what I did before. For those nice guys who continue to treat girls nice even though they have been hurt by heartless girls before, I salute you and I take my hat of to you. The world needs your care and concern. For the girls that have been hurt by guys before and still give the guys chances for your love, I salute you too as it is harder for a girl to recover from a relationship then a guy. I just want to pray that the nice guys in this world get to meet the mature and nice girls of this world so that they will appreciate them better.

Youth leaders retreat, X'mas youth event and Youth camp

2007-12-13T23:10:00.000-08:00

What seems to be the most celebrated holiday in the world is also the most busy time of the year for me...And worse of all...movies like Golden Compass which is completely anti-Christ is not helping either...therefore please do not watch the movie and support the writer who wants to "destroy God in hearts of children". Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ 2007 years ago and that's that...

It's about the birth of the Saviour who eventually took away our sins by dying on the cross...It's not about gifts, its definitely not abt santa or reindeer or watsoever...itz abt God fulfilling His promise about sending the Messiah (Jesus Christ) to save us from the penalty of sins, which is death...He took upon himself...Therefore, Christmas is about God's love for us...always remember that..

Now back to the youth leaders retreat...I thank God for the few that has stepped up to the plate and willing to serve as youth leaders in 2008 for the youth ministry...God really blessed a vast array of talents which I pray would strengthen our youth and help us grow..Of coz by God's grace...We are now all currently trying to rush and settle our x'mas event on the 22th of Dec at 2.30pm and itz called Christ-mas be here! Please come...you are duly welcomed

Bible Trail 2007 at St Andrew's Cathedral

2007-12-07T08:05:00.000-08:00

The past 2 days have been great as I have been learning God's Word non-stop..Isn't that great? Isn't that what everyone shld be dreaming of doin? It has been really fun-filled and packed wiv activities which just shows how beautiful and great is our God..He speaks to us in many ways..all we need to do is read the Bible and pray..isn't dat wonderful?

I really wana thank Jesus for dying on the cross and giving us the opportunity to live and not have to die for our sins..as the penalty of sins is actually death...but God showed us love and gave us the promise of salvation..who can ask for more?

Therefore, give ur life to Jesus today..and you will see the biggest thing happening to u ever..

Life has really been great...serving God and without a care in the world...

Ahaha as many of you all know..I have been selling and trading duelmasters cards and earning about $100 a week...LOL..but now..I'm praying to God for help to gather a few youths to come up with a game with similar concept but using the Bible as the basis.

Just suddenly felt like that...

2007-10-25T08:01:00.000-07:00

Just another week...but the not so familiar feeling has come back..longing to love someone but unable to...wanting to shower her with love...but circumstances just don't allow so...this goes out to those that understand this feeling:

Hurt is when love is undelivered,

Happiness even when a little smile is reciprocated.

Pain is the feeling when you drag yourself away,

Joy fills your heart when she/he says "Okay"

Sadness overcomes because you feel inadequate,

Love does ironic things people.

Represented NTU alumni team today and won all our matches. I hope we showed the freshies a good example....

We leave it to God and really hope all u youths lend a helping and build the strong foundation where we rise to greater heights with our youth ministry...

Camp Christine - Read on b4 you make ur opinion

2007-10-01T04:40:00.000-07:00

I hear from people complaining..i read it in blogs..eh come on..i really doubt anybody could have done a better job...

If you do not know what I'm talking abt, I'm talking abt the youth's camp will be at camp christine..

Trust me..we have looked at MANY different alternatives..because the committee knew you all wanted a change in area...

1) We checked St John Island campsite - Unless you all wanted to sleep tgt (guys and gals all under one bunk) and cook ur own meals everyday, I guess this ain't the one for u.

2) We checked the Sembawang BB/GB campsite. Unless you all wana pay more than $50 for the camp, we would gladly book it for you all.

3) We checked out schools, but the reason was the same, they had their own activities.

4) We even thought of using the church. Unless you want to have 40 guys waiting for only one bathing cubicle, I think its not possible.

Therefore, if anyone has a better alternative, please come and approach me. If not, try not to complain or even rant off about not coming. With that attitude, I rather you not come. You wana know why? Because this camp is not for you youths or BBs. Yes you heard me right. This camp is a glorification of God's grace and love for us. We are using the church's money and we better be good stewards of it. So either come to praise God and show that you love Him, all you can continue complaining about not going or that its camp christine again like a CHILDISH toddler.

I'm super serious about this. The last thing I want for the youths or BBs is to take anything for granted. I believe in unless you something better to contribute, you better as well shut up.

No joke today, I'm just disappointed and I hope many of you can wake up your ideas.

Things are happening so fast!

2007-09-30T09:18:00.000-07:00

HAhaha celebrated children's day with the sunday school kids and played games and played dress up with the teachers lol...they were all wrapped up in coloured papers and newspapers...really had alot of fun...

Thinking abt it..I was not serving in any ministry 1 year ago....had this talk with Zhenwei and Serene really made me think..it was just one year ago..so much has changed...I'm serving as the one in charge of the games for the sunday school kids at the last sunday of the month, den i'm starting as a full-time youth worker intern on tuesday and I'm also in charge of the games for the sunday school outing on Nov 10th.

Then, another 2 pple asked me to serve in more ways...One asked me to consider giving children's sermon and another has asked me to be the MC for the church retreat...WOW things has really changed for me..serving and coming to church has so much more meaning now..i guess itz becoz I treasure God's love and relationship alot more than the past...in the past i took it for granted being born into a christian family etc etc...

2007-09-24T11:26:00.001-07:00

Hahahah wanted to put a interesting title I thought of today...

Today I went major hardcore shopping in JB with my buddy Darren from NTU...we shopped from 11am till 1pm..then we watched Knocked Up (real funny and really meaningful)...then we carried on by watching the 3.30pm show Rogue Assassin (real good story line..but not as action packed as the advert suggests..but really good). Then we went to Holiday Inn and shopped even more hahhaa...finally we ate dinner and spent till we had only 8 cents ringgit left...so desperate rite?

Anyway it was a great day shopping and preparing for stuff to wear when I officially start as an intern for the youth worker position as of Oct 1st...can't wait..I'm filled with anticipation...itz gonna be a tough road..but itz gonna be well worth it...

As for all the youth out there, all the best for your exams and may God bless you all with concentration and memory of all that you have learnt. Always remember, God is carrying you all the way...So you are never alone during the examinations..

Joke of the day:

What appliance and piece of furniture can turn a human being into a food item?

Answer:

The TV and the sofa. It makes a person turn into a POTATO (AHAHAH laugh wiv me..COUCH POTATO...get it?)

Yes, It is official..I'm going to be the youth worker for my church!

2007-09-23T06:41:00.000-07:00

hahah just say the great news that God has allowed me to choose Him and serve Him in a full-time capacity by being a youth worker in QLC...my training starts on Oct 1st at youth for Christ and I'm totally excited to do so...I prayed and thought about this for a long while after my final exams in NTU...But I'm glad I made this decision I definitely will not regret it...

As for my friends thinking whether I may become a pastor in the future, it is not something impossible....this is because I will be going for the studies next year july..and I think I will get a masters in theology..which in the future will help me in either being a youth pastor or a full-fledged pastor...but that's in a few years time...but still very possible

Today's my niece's bday and I would like to wish her a wonderful bday and that she will find the wonderful friend that God has blessed her with..being able to have fun but be mature about things at the same time....

Did planning with the YF committee from 11.30 till abt 2.30...it was really fruitful and God was definitely working in the meeting....we could really see a movement towards growth and strengthening...The future is bright..all thanks to God and the help of the rest of the guys....
May we continue to grow for God and never let go of the faith that keeps us strong.

Heartwarming moment yet again

2007-09-18T00:58:00.000-07:00

Beautiful like the morning sunrise
Wonderful as the first bloom in spring
Sweet like the purest honey
Eyes that sparkle like the stars
A smile that melts my heart
A set of dimples that drives me wild
God's gift in the form of sight

Inspired by the song: Lips of an angel
and by that special someone

Really had a very interesting experience at LCOR and really experienced the difficulties and pains a missionairy goes through just to truly sacrifice their life for the faith in God.

Study Day Camp at Lutheran Church of Redeemer

2007-09-05T08:13:00.000-07:00

Eunice, Timothy, Elena, Jermyn and me met up in QLC and made our way to Lutheran Church of Redeemer. Steffi came ard 10-15 min after we reached and we studied till 1pm. Studying was effective until Timothy broke the silence and we tokked till lunch. Lunch was at Coronation Plaza because Elena wanted as little sun exposure as possible. haha I was still able to enjoy $6 student meal which included soup, main course and a soft drink.

Then it was back to studying but we were stuck outside the church because they had locked all the doors. LOL after searching non-stop, Elena ended up calling the person in charge and we got the code to get into the church. HAHA studying was dominated by me helping Timothy with his chinese and constant chatting lol..

But amazingly, it was fun and they achieved alot of studying. Steffi and Jermyn went back and me, Elena, Eunice and Timothy went to a nearby Gelato cafe and ate ice-cream and played Taboo lol..we had endless laughter and fun..

Hope to do something like that soon...

Just trying out blogging

2007-08-27T11:12:00.000-07:00

Hi, if you know me that's great if not, does not matter anyway. Just a 24 year old guy writing about the recent happenings in my life. Graduated and waiting/hoping to become the youth worker for Queenstown Lutheran Church.

Deciding on a design of the youth T-shirt hoping the back of the shirt can be this:

Unstoppable in His pursuit
- FOR YOUR SALVATION

Untouchable in His glory
- IN HEAVEN

Unbeatable in His battles
- AGAINST THE EVIL ONE

Unbelivable in His love
- FOR THE WORLD AND HIS CREATION

Unthinkable in His sacrifice
- THAT HE GAVE HIS DEAREST SON

Unbearable in His intolerance
- AGAINST SIN

Unforsaken in His last breath
- IT IS FINISHED

Excited about the Amazing race on the 14th and 15th of Sept. The planning committee really put alot of effort. Hope the youth and BB can really enjoy and maybe through that, spread the love of God.

A song i wrote - If only someone would offer to write the tune

2007-08-27T11:04:00.000-07:00

The road less taken

1st stanza:

Walking on this path, all alone,
hoping to find the SPECIAL ONE,
fulfilling her wishes all I can,
with efforts to make myself a better man..

Chorus:

How many can acclaim that they are truly happy?
How many can promise true love?
How many can be truly sensitive?
How many can love you, like I do?

2nd stanza:
All my actions,
Just to make you smile,
A “Thank You” will be great,
But you do not even appreciate,
The road seems longer…

Interlude:
Happy are those who found love,
Their lives will be forever like the doves,
Sad are those who have given much,
But has received little.
Angry, I will never make you.
Elation is the only feeling I will fill your life.
All I ask is a chance…

A tribute to the NICE GUYS - No offence to the nice girls out there

2007-08-27T11:01:00.000-07:00

This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point.

This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores.This is in honour of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honour of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honour of the guys who respect a girl's every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style.

This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they're at her door, for the guys who accompany girls to bars as buffers against the rest of the creepy male population, for the guys who know a girl is fishing for compliments but give them out anyway, for the guys who always play by the rules in a game where the rules favour cheaters, for the guys who are accredited as boyfriend material but somehow don't end up being boyfriends, for all the nice guys who are overlooked, underestimated, and unappreciated, for all the nice guys who are manipulated, misled, and unjustly abandoned, this is for you.

This is for that time she left 40 urgent messages on your cell phone, and when you called her back, she spent three hours painstakingly dissecting two sentences her boyfriend said to her over dinner. And even though you thought her boyfriend was a chump and a jerk, you assured her that it was all ok and she shouldn't worry about it.This is for that time she interrupted the best killing spree you'd ever orchestrated in half-life to rant about a rumour that romantically linked her and the guy she thinks is the most repulsive person in the world. And even though you thought it was immature and you had nothing against the guy, you paused the game for two hours and helped her concoct a counter-rumour to spread around the floor.

This is also for that time she didn't have a date, so after numerous vows that there was nothing "serious" between the two of you, she dragged you to a party where you knew nobody, the beer was awful, and she flirted shamelessly with you, justifying each fit of reckless teasing by announcing to everyone: "oh, but we're just friends!" And even though you were invited purely as a symbolic warm body for her ego, you went anyway. Because you're nice like that.

The nice guys don't often get credit where credit is due. And perhaps more disturbing, the nice guys don't seem to get laid as often as they should. And I wish I could logically explain this trend, but I can't. From what I have observed on campus and what I have learned from talking to friends at other schools and in the workplace, the only conclusion I can form is that many girls can be overly illogical and manipulative.Many of them claim they just want to date a nice guy, but when presented with such a specimen, they say irrational, confusing things such as "oh, he's too nice to date" or "he would be a good boyfriend but he's not for me" or "he already puts up with so much from me, I couldn't possibly ask him out!" or the most frustrating of all: "no, it would ruin our friendship."

Yet, they continue to lament the lack of datable men in the world, and they expect their too-nice-to-date male friends to sympathize and apologize for the men that are jerks. Sorry, guys, girls like that are beyond my ability to fathom. I can't figure out why the connection breaks down between what they say (I want a nice guy!) and what they do (I'm going to sleep with this complete ass now!).

But one thing I can do is say that the nice-guy-finishes-last phenomenon doesn't last forever. There are definitely many girls who grow out of that train of thought and realize they should be dating the nice guys, not taking them for granted. The tricky part is finding those girls, and even trickier, finding the ones that are single.So, until those girls are found, I propose a toast to all the nice guys. You know who you are, and I know you're sick of hearing yourself described as ubiquitously nice. But the truth of the matter is, the world needs your patience in the department store, your holding open of doors, your party escorting services, and your propensity to be a sucker for a pretty smile.

For all the crazy, insane, absurd things you tolerate, for all the situations where you are the faceless, nameless hero, my accolades, my acknowledgement, and my gratitude go out to you. You do have credibility in this society, and your well deserved vindication is coming.

Happy is the man and happy he is alone, who in all honesty can count today his own. He who has life and strength enough to say - yesterday is dead and gone, I'm gonna live today.

My poems - Hope it brings you happiness

2007-08-27T10:58:00.000-07:00

I.

You give me strength when I was weak,
Help me pull through the tough week.

Beauty that is uncontested,
Makes my heart go to places I have never quested.

Undeniably my greatest love,
Pure like the whitest dove.

II.

You are so beautiful
And so wonderful
Nothing in the world can be compared to you
Like the clouds silhouetted against the sky
In my eyes you will always be my princess
Never imperfect, never bearing any faults.

III.

Being with you time always flies,
Your voice always as sweet as lullabies.

Bearing eyes that diamonds,
Shining and bringing light into my life.

Always I have been so lonesome,
Until I met perfection so wholesome.

IV.

Friendship with you I will always share,
Pain and turmoil I am willing to bear.

Kindness and love like yours cannot be found,
Unless I gave heaven bound.

Understand my deepest feelings,
Hoping our hearts can be converted
Being to Being.

V.

Words can never express my feelings for you,
Actions are insufficient too.

Heart and soul I give it up,
Just to be your little pup.

Anything just to be with you,
Giving my heart that needed cue.

VI.

You are my source of energy,
Guiding me whenever I am lost.

Making the world feel so perfect,
You are wonderful and that is a fact.

Not lacking in any aspect,
All I can give to you is my love and respect.

You will always be in my heart,
Lasting forever and making forgetting you very hard.

VII.

Happiness is when I talk to you.
Joyfulness is when I am with you.
Care I will always feel when I am near you,
Kindness is second nature to you.
Understanding is part and parcel of your character,
Being with you how short does not matter.

VIII.

I am always lost for words when I am near you.
Loving each and every moment
Overjoyed just to see your smile.

Vying for your attention,
Every word from you is like pure gold.

Yellow and shining which illuminates my life,
Old fashioned, I may be,
Unwrapping each moment to you.

IX.

Love is like diamonds,
Always beautiful and forever.

Giving life a crunch like almond,
Unsatisfying it will be never.

Sweet, wonderful and long-lasting,
Switching your heart from slow to hasting.

Love is like the sky,
Always beautiful even if you do not own it.

X.

Heart to heart I speak to you,
Meeting you made me a lovelorn fool.

Giving my life its needed wings,
Making everything else just simple things.

Flying may seemed out of line,
Not when you are on cloud nine.

I will always love you,
As you make my life feel so full.

XI.

Love is like a flower which has not bloomed,
The beauty of it that has not been groomed,
Once it is spring and the birds come out to sing,
That is when the love in my heart will be everlasting.

XII.

Watching the world go by,
Living it as someone oh so shy,
Never grasping what is in your sight.
Carpe Diem my friend,
For this is your day,
Where you have not found love so gay,
As the dream lover of yours is here to stay.

XIII.

Separation from you feels like forever,
Although it may just be an hour,
But together with you my heart longs forever,
For the day “I do” is significant,
Making my life and dreams complete.

XIV.

You are wonderful in every way,
Making my life beautiful in every aspect,
Even if it was a bad day,
Just thinking of you will make the bad thoughts go away.

XV.

True feelings is not knowing,
What lies ahead but just loving.
Appreciating every moment together,
Never wasting any time whatsoever,
To engulf your beloved with passion,
Soaring her directly to heaven.
Love is such a wonderful thing,
If only that’s the way people think.

XVI.

Sunny days,
Stormy weather,
Where the heart is,
The actions would follow suit.
My heart is overflowing with feelings,
How I wish I can make it true.
My days are like the morning dew,
Happy to think of you even I know it never lasted,
If only instincts could be like day and night.

XVII.

A closed window,
An empty seat,
The usual table,
Lipstick on the rim,
Unchained melody,
The smile on my face,
Never to be seen again.

XVIII.

The heat in my heart,
Burns for the one I love,
Wanting to make her my part,
Giving her the attention she deserves,
May you always be joyous,
Because you are the lucky one that everyone raved about.

RAINBOW: The colours of life/love

Violet is for the royalty place in my heart
Indigo is for the illumination you give to me
Blue for the days that you are always able to change
Green for the pastures that you bring me to
Yellow for the smiley you always are
Orange for the sweetness you bestow on me
Red for the love that I have for you

XX.

The boredom of school,
The chance of a lifetime,
The monotonousity of work,
A father providing for his children,
A mother disciplining her child,
The child becoming someone great,
The world is so contradicting,
Life is a paradox and a oxymoron,
Because I hate you,
But I truly do love you.

XXI.

Unfortunate events
Engulfing my life
May it all disappear
Never appear
Like the dust of the earth
Never to be seen again
Life goes on,
Sweeter but bitter,
Contraction, forever.

XXII.

Hardness of life,
Beauty of birth,
Regrets of choices,
Never forgotten,
Hurt time and time again,
Yearning only to be better,
May I be the best I can,
To become a great man,
Dragging the baggage of life,
Just to survive the weariness,
I cannot get hurt no more,
For only I will give the special One my all.

XXIII.

Choking and struggling for my breath,
Fighting back the ease of surrender,
Pulling myself out of the abyss,
The deep and bottomless pit,
Of sadness and pure sorrow,
The tears is drowning my reality,
But I will fend it back at all costs,
Just to fulfill my destiny,
Loving someone with everything I have.

TRUE FEELINGS

Loving someone is like admiring the sky, It is always beautiful even though you do not own it.Blue, wonderful and always up high, Connects straight to the heart like a direct hit.
Looking at her wonderful beauty, Admiring it from afar, Knowing her heart is with someone else, Really tears me apart.
Loving someone is when you know, The person you love can hurt you the most.However you treat her best, It will never be on her mind.
Looking as another man holds her hand, I feel like a crushed ant, Helpless in my pursuit, For the love that I so yearn.
Loving someone is like a photo flash, You may be blinded awhile,But when the picture is produced, true realityWill then hit you and you may feel like a lovelorn fool.
Looking at her now really hurts me, To know that I can treat her even better, Than the weakling she chose to be with, Love bears no meaning.
