Michael W. Smith - Healing Rain
Healing rain is coming down
It's coming nearer to this old town
Rich and poor, weak and strong
It's bringing mercy, it won't be long
Healing rain is coming down
It's coming closer to the lost and found
Tears of joy, and tears of shame
Are washed forever in Jesus' name
Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain
Lift your heads, let us return
To the mercy seat where time began
And in your eyes, I see the pain
Come soak this cry heart with healing rain
And only You, the Son of man
Can take a leper and let him stand
So lift your hands, they can be held
By someone greater, the great I Am
Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain
To be washed in Heaven's rain...
Healing rain is falling down
Healing rain is falling down
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid...

2 down, 2 to go.
next paper, System Analysis. loads of theory stuffs to remember and common sensical stuffs too. wouldn't be a problem to pass, but scoring for that paper is the tough one. well, wouldn't be over confident, but still would be a little more relaxed when studying this module.
the last hurdle would be my LAN paper. amazingly, i need 40 marks to pass and i seriously still don't understand why. thank God i still have thursday and friday to study for my LAN paper and i seriously need intensive brain cell transplant for the next few days.
i guess i'm going through a period of testings, again. after great easter celebrations and renewed passion, comes the testings. raw faith is just being tested repeatingly, physically and mentally drained out and no matter how long you sleep, you just can't get the energy level back. no matter how much you plead for the presence of God, you still feel drained.
never felt so useless when i was doing my PCS paper earlier. the questions were almost similar as the ones i practised, yet i still fumbled. the paper was tricky and i wasn't confident enough for the module. the moment i handed up my paper, i thought to myself that i never would want to touch that module, again.
through all these difficult times, i had to pump myself with positive thoughts. i kept my cool and tried not to think too much negative stuffs. but sometimes it just gets into my mind and pollutes my mind with negative things.
even expressing myself now is difficult because i do not even know what exactly is my emotions. i feel tired, sleepy and empty. its not because i didn't sleep much, not because i played basketball earlier and certainly not because of a setback in my life.
but i do know something for sure, and that is to keep walking forward, keep pressing on, towards the light at the end of the tunnel. it maybe far, it maybe tiring, but i know that i WILL reach the end and i shall soar like the eagles in the skies.
my character is definitely being moulded and i would be moulded to who He wants me to be. areas of my life that isn't submitted to God has to be submitted now and sins that have yet to be forgiven is to be repented now.
being dependant on Jesus is great. all i need is Him and i know that He would never forsake me and He loves me because He died on the cross for us. He's always here with me, His Spirit dwells in me and i will abide in His words.
He's not just any human being, but He's God who will never let me go. He's the one that picked me up when i fell and He's also the one walking beside me in the shadow of dry bones. He's my protector, my savior and my Lord.
He's worthy of all praises and His blood covers all sin and shame. because of Him, we're able to have a relationship with our Heavenly Father and spend eternity with Him.
He who's in me is greater then he who's in the world.

whats wrong with me!?
paper today wasn't that bad, doable.
i wonder if my brain is processing anything today. nothing seems to be getting into my brain, but many seems to be getting out. my brain seems empty now and i do not even know whats in my mind.
studied for tomorrow's paper after my exams and nothing much was processed. really couldn't concentrate and the longer i stared at the paper, the stupider i felt. when i started to work out the solutions, it wasn't that difficult. but i still had to refer here and there=/
i just can't seem to channel all my focus on something.
there i was, seated in the library, trying very hard to study and my mind keeps wandering away or getting into sleep mode. it was really frustrating, yet i was emotionless.
my friend said that i'm just too tired and i should get some sleep. so i went home at 4, after "studying" for 4 hours and slept till 9.
lets not talk about that anymore.
-
my friends, hamzah and jackson, are on the verge of quitting school. maybe not so much for hamzah, but jackson seems rather determined that he would sacked by the school by this semester.
the reason? because he seems rather assured that he would fail a module that he failed last year. the reason causing that? could be the lecturers, could be themselves, i've no idea. but to think of it, getting sacked after failing a module that you failed before is rather stupid.
once a student feels that there isn't any hope, would he even study for the paper? i believe not. if you're pursuing something and there's a ray of hope, you give your best shot and pray hard that it hits the bullseye.
but when hope casts a dark shadow, would you even bother about it!?
the worst thing is that, the lecturers actually told them that they would be sacked if they fail again. what a way to encourage students!! its almost like asking them to die since they are down with cancer.
not all cancer are treatable, but at least there's treatment to delay it!
so i saw jackson today, seated a few rows away from me, sleeping throughout the paper and handing up an empty piece of paper. WHY!? because of his great lecturer, telling him that he failed the module and no matter what results he get, he still fails.
what a good lecturer, so nice of him to encourage his student this way. i heard of the way he handles his students. the lecturer would mess up their programming codes and expect them to type it all out from stratch.
that's like madness!? i wouldn't even be able to do that!!
firstly, there's a reason why programming projects are usually given 2 weeks time to complete.
secondly, doesn't mean that when you complete your project, you remember every single line of the codes you typed.
lastly, if you're expecting a student to type out the codes from stratch, why bother to even get them to complete it? might as well just skip the project and head straight for the testing part!
thank God i've a nice lecturer but i'm really sad for my friends.
crapness.

i seriously wonder why i was posted to be in logistics, when i'm not in the logistics team and when its a mega event in the indoor stadium.
but its still a great experience working together with brother william, though i didn't do much stuffs.
the most nerve wrecking moment is before and after service. when security personnels come and collect their equipments and if there's a mixup, its gonna cause loads of trouble and problems.
thank God for people like daniel and kuo wei who helped me do loads of stuffs in the beginning and taught me several things that i needed to know.
one of the advantages doing logistics is that you're able to take naps during service when there's nothing required of you. i badly needed sleep and was dozing off whenever possible~ loLz=P
was finally dismissed at 3pm and had a lift to the bus stop to meet kim. i guess she waited for quite sometime, almost 20 minutes if i'm not wrong=/ zhaowei and i were crapping with each other and kim was stoning. well, feel kinda bad about it now~ loLz=P kind of neglected her and when we reached suntec, she went off to meet her cellgroup.
guilt multiplied. hahaZz=P
had lunch with my cellgroup and majority headed home after lunch. so i called zhaowei and we met, since he wants to do some window shopping. kim joined us shortly afterwards, looking a lot more cheerful~ thank God=P
walked past this cafe and i saw serene SLEEPING! heh. disturbed her and realized that cindy was with her too~ both girls mugging for the up-coming exams=/
shall skip the exams=P
there's this bookshop in the citylink and we were browsing through the books there. found some really interesting books like 99 ways to show your love and reasons why you would love your dog more than your man.
the book on loving your dog more then your man is super funny, not all though - guys would bring more smelly and noisy guys to watch soccer, but your dog wouldn't.
the book on 99 ways to show your love is rather interesting too~ some of the methods suggested are totally crazy, but some are really sweet and nice.
the 99th method is - a hug tells it all.
hahaZz~ there are many sweet methods inside, but i can't remember them all because of a brain failure, my braincells are failing due to lack of sleep. but if i were to run out of ideas to express my love, i wouldn't mind buying that book and get some tips! haHaz=P
slept almost immediately whenever i closed my eyes on the bus~ heHz. thank God i didn't start mumbling dark secrets of my life=P
rounding off this easter celebrations, it has been an eye opener for me! though we have been serving in the indoor stadium many times, i've been doing the same positions for the last few events until the benny hinn conference. after the benny hinn conference, doors opened and i was able to experience and learn so many things though my leaders.
firmly, i believe that serving comes from the heart and when i enjoy serving, it would bring out the best in me. but i shouldn't be content with what i have today but i should always seek to improve the way i serve God and increase the efficiency, not forgetting to always think like an IC.
promotion doesn't come from man but from God.

easter celebrations!!
2 great services on a saturday and i can't wait for the final easter service later at 11.00am!! this easter celebration also marks a benchmark for me, in serving as a security personnel.
i was pretty stretched by Bro Kok Yew when he decided to get me as his runner. he taught me so many stuffs that is extremely easy, yet 100% effective. he shared this with me, "to be an IC, you got to think like an IC"
its so true!! a leader is someone who takes charge and brings the people from point A to point B. a follower simply follows instructions and does whatever is given to him, anymore than that, they're unable to cope.
a leader looks after his man and is accountable for them too. he has to know their specific locations and assign them with duties. if a leader is unable to do that, then he wouldn't be able to release the full potential of the group assigned to him.
a leader, as an overall view, has to know his people well and has to work together with his people. knowing their strengths and flaws, the group depends on one another to work and on the leader's command, they establish.
a leader must be able to cover the basics even with little resources. a leader knows how to adjust with the situation and handle with sensitivity.
a leader must think fast, act fast and know whats going on, only than decisions can be made, risks can be taken and problems can be solved at the fastest possible time. without these available, its tough and one wrong move could cost everyone badly.
thank God i was given the chance and i was put as second IC for east sector. bro samuel threw me 3 other security personnels and told me that i'm in-charge of them. so bearing in mind what i just learnt, and had learnt before, i assigned them and gave them specific instructions.
thank God nothing serious happened and there wasn't much hipcups. but i believe that there's still room for improvement and so much more for me to learn from the leaders and security personnels.
thank God that Bro Kok Yew noticed me and kept me by his side during the first service, else i wouldn't have learnt so much from him.
from now on, i shall not think like a normal security, but like a security IC.

what if tomorrow is your last day on earth? are you assured of going to heaven? or would you be spending eternity with the evil one?
good works won't bring you to heaven, only Jesus Christ can.
eternity with God, or the devil, who would you choose?
if you think that you're still young and you can "delay" this decision, are you able to stop things from happening around you, that may cause death?
Jesus Christ has redeemed us from the evil one, yet many people rejected Him. many will turn to false prophets during the end times and reject the true gospel. why is that so? because people want to take the easy way out.
in life, there is NO shortcuts. if you desire to be a 50 year old retiree now, you don't become one over night. you have to wait till your 50th birthday than you're a 50 year old retiree.
is accepting Christ that difficult? is believing His word that difficult? do you not even have faith on the almighty God that created the heavens and the earth?
Jesus Christ DIED on the cross for our sins. He was sinless, yet He bore our sins and died on the cross. He took away our sin, shame and guilt but He doesn't take away our problems, habits and difficulties.
BUT in the bible, it says that we will be filled with the Holy Spirit, who would guide us and lead us with the renewing of the mind!
or are you expecting an instant miracle pill to drop from heaven that takes away every single problem, debt and habits?
when you're a born again in Christ, you're a new creation in God's eye. you're called children of God! why? because of Jesus Christ. without Him, this relationship can NEVER be restored and we would all end up in hell!
so WHY did Jesus Christ come to earth, in a human form, and die for us in the cross? because God loves us! He LONGS after our hearts and wants to fellowship with us!!
if going to church and cellgroup once a week is hard to cope, why is watching TV faithfully everyday easy? if reading the bible makes you fall asleep or its boring, why do you read the newspaper every morning without fail?
people can come up with millions of reason not to go church. but i've one very good reason for you to go church, and thats because God wants YOU to know Him and He has a great plan for you.
salvation is not a one time process. its a life time, life changing process.
remember this, God chose you and gave you this ONE chance to accept Him into your life... do you want to lose this salvation?
good works won't bring you to heaven, only Jesus Christ can.
eternity with God, or the devil, who would you choose?

when God decided to show Himself to me, there's nothing i can do cept to submit to Him.
if there's a growth in me, its gotta be caused by this afternoon.
if there's a difference in me, its gotta be caused by this afternoon.
something burned inside me as i worshipped. He's still with me, and He has never forgotten about me. He has something great for me and He wants me to complete the race. He will complete it with me and He promised.
i realized that i've been slack in my walk with God. i realized my mistakes, sins and wrong doings that caused grief to the Holy Spirit. i realized that i'm not a good shepherd, always taking things for granted. i realized i've been trying to be the good boy when i should have just ran to Him for shelter. i realized i haven been carrying His presence and i should carry His presence because i'm called.
if i can turn back time, i would. but i know that such experiences can be used by God for His glory. if there's an example now, it would be Sy Rogers. i've never felt so liberated after his teaching on both days. not liberated to sin against God, but liberated to run towards God with love and Godly fear.
there's so many ideas in my mind; prayer group, discipleship, teaching, pushing, encouraging, guiding, luminating, soul winning and protecting.
i feel alive.

honor Him and He shall honor you.
that's like SO true? another promise fulfilled by God.
weekend services with Sy Rogers!! it was another great service with Sy Rogers and he preached something almost similar to the training sessions. he shared about preservance in a fallen world and how should we run towards God when we got slime all over.
it's seriously something that we need to learn...
reported for duty for service 6 and praise God i was allocated at the front again~ loLz=)
stayed behind after serving as i promised brother daniel that i would help him arrange the forms and update them. helped out in the logistics as no one stayed behind~ its been a long time since i last did logistics and thank God for zhaowei! without his help, i would have died inside the room.
met up with kim and we headed to join Bro Kok Yew and the rest of the logistic team for dinner. Bro Kok Yew decided to blessed kim and i for that dinner~ praise God!! we had a great time eating and fellowshipping with one another~ though i wasn't from the logistics team, they were still graceous to allow kim and i to join them~ loLz=P
at jurong point, kim and i decided to take a walk before heading home. then i suggested watching a movie and kim recommended this movie, hostage, which i HIGHLY recommend to everyone!!!
its a SUPER COOL show!! its like an action thriller show which starrs Bruce Willis!
i shall not spoil the show here in my blog, but if you got money to spare, DO WATCH IT AT THE NEAREST CINEMA!!
headed back and met up with sam and kim's brosie for supper~ by then, i realized that i've no cash left because of some reason; my money got misplaced. well, thank God kim's brosie paid for the supper~
silly girl sam, bought all her homework down to join us for supper and ended up playing 3 rounds of bridge with us. i asked about the amount of homework left and after she finished listing down, i was really wondering in my heart how is she gonna finish them all tonight~
she spent the whole of friday doing homework too...
i just realized something. Sister Cynthia is ONLY 1 year older then me!! woah.. she's already a church staff, working in Pastor Kong's office... WOAHWOAHWOAH!!!
that's like SO true? another promise fulfilled by God.

at jurong point, kim and i decided to take a walk before heading home. then i suggested watching a movie and kim recommended this movie, hostage, which i HIGHLY recommend to everyone!!!
its a SUPER COOL show!! its like an action thriller show which starrs Bruce Willis!
i shall not spoil the show here in my blog, but if you got money to spare, DO WATCH IT AT THE NEAREST CINEMA!!
headed back and met up with sam and kim's brosie for supper~ by then, i realized that i've no cash left because of some reason; my money got misplaced. well, thank God kim's brosie paid for the supper~
silly girl sam, bought all her homework down to join us for supper and ended up playing 3 rounds of bridge with us. i asked about the amount of homework left and after she finished listing down, i was really wondering in my heart how is she gonna finish them all tonight~
she spent the whole of friday doing homework too...
i just realized something. Sister Cynthia is ONLY 1 year older then me!! woah.. she's already a church staff, working in Pastor Kong's office... WOAHWOAHWOAH!!!

sy rogers!! he's so captivating, you just wish that there is more time for him to share!!
hahaZz=P well, i just came back from sy roger's training session in church and it was great. he was talking about our brains, the way we think and react to it and he talked about the difference of the sexes.
well, kind of.
though, sometimes, its kinda mixed up, he's still very captivating as he attracts attention using body language and really funny remarks.
anyway, i'm not going to blabber on about what he preached about.
i'm just gonna add that my life would never be the same=) hallelujah!
i wanna blog about something, and its something thats been bugging me since God knows when.
G I R L S.
i'm not against girls, definitely, God bless them!! but i'm just SO curious to know WHY are people, some, so narrow minded!? whenever they see a girl-guy who's kinda close or are in close contact or just simply spend loads of time together, everyone points their fingers at the innocent couple and say, "look at them~ spending SOOOOOOO much time together! i alwys see them together~ are they together?" blahblahblah.
personally, i grew up, as what sy rogers described, an ANTI-GIRLS guy before adolescence. but when puberty hit me, i started to notice girls a little more. definitely would come attraction and some other stuffs sy rogers preached about.
no harm.
BUT why is it that people still view it like as if its a taboo to be going church, supper or even going out with a girl!?
do you wanna spend all your life with the friends, only of the same gender!? if i were you, i would really wonder how i would mature=)
anyway, i'm not saying that i MUST be surrounded by girls, but its just that i've a little more girl-friends. NOT because i'm cool or very good looking. but its just because of some reason God placed them in my life, and i'm not asking Him to take them away because they're my good friends, but why am i gettin judged this way!?
so nextime when you read my blog and you see names like, sally ng (ooh. that pretty usher) or samantha (either kim's pretty sister or the one from POS) or kimberlish (late night suppers) or charmaine (messing around with her) or hanning (bus buddy) or veron (she calls me her pastor.. sheesh) or WHO ELSE!? someone help me!? there's TOO LITTLE FEMALE NAMES TO BE LISTED HERE!!
BAH!
btw, sally ng's really pretty... woahhhh... saw her in church~~~ wOAhhhhh.. why wasnt i seated at her row!?

met kim and sam for lunch at bukit panjang plaza. while waiting for kim, sam took the chance and taught me bridge. its a rather easy card game that requires you to play your cards properly, so that you and your partner would be able to win.
i shall not explain the gameplay as its rather confusing~ hEh. but its quite amazing that sam managed to teach me and explained clearly after just playing it for 1 night.
no doubt that she's really a bright girl=)
we reached pasir ris at 3.00pm and we felt as though time passed by so quickly~ hEh. probably because we were crapping too much along the way and even played daidee on the bus =/ this time, i didn't even win a single round and i think kim won all the rounds~ shEesh..
was told by the counter ladies, at downtown east, that i can only collect my tickets 30 minutes later. so we played bridge at the nearby chillout place and watched sam do her bio homework. slowly, friends started coming and joined us.
jireh and his sister, edwin and veron, peck chuan and his friends and june. well, peck chuan and june didn't join us in the concert but the rest did.
before the concert started, the Pastor led a in a prayer. kim and i felt really uncomfortable during that period of time as the presence really felt weird. i was looking around and i realized that some people wasn't praying, but i doubt that's the problem, and most people were speaking in tongues. just don't understand the weird feeling.
anyway, it got a lot better when planet shakers took over and started.
loads of new songs and we were caught unprepared. the chairman (i think) of planet shakers came out and shared a word with us. he preached about obed-edom, who lingers in the presence of God.
that messaged really reminded me about emerge conference, when i was so hungry for the presence of God and even prayed that i would be in the sunday team for security, so that i can stay in church all day.
thank God for such a simple message that really challenged me once again, to love His house, to dwell in His presence, to treasure His presence and to carry His presence.
we don't need to help God, but we need God more than anything else. He should be the first in our lives, only then, He is able to do great things through us!
basically, that was what that guy shared and even though it was short, the message spoke deep into me and i realized that i've been "trying" to "understand" God that i'll fell. but all i needed was to have child-like innocence and faith to receive from Him.
-
important note to everyone.
please stop thinking that kim and i are an item and please stop going around asking or telling people that we're very close and stuffs. i've had enough and i've heard enough of it. i do not care of what people say, but it DOES really get on my nerves each time i hear it. the bible says that we do not gossip or slander about our brethens.
kim and i are just friends and YES, we often meet up. thats just it.
thank you and God bless.

lost track of time
been sleeping too much in the afternoons that whenever i wake up in the evening, i would wonder if i slept for one whole night or just that few hours.
met up with my basketball palls earlier for an impromptu BBQ at fajar. i guess the main reason is to celebrate weilun and weiming's POP last friday. not much people were there, but i must say that its the core group that stuck together for a long period of time=)
people present include - junjiang, zongxian, yonglin, herman, mingcai, junkang, carmen and the two main stars, weilun and weiming.
i guess i was really bored and i used 1 whole packet of charcoal for the base and 16 firestarters for the BBQ. the end result? the fire was so strong that we didn't have to add charcoals and our food was still properly cooked=)
though there wasn't much food, my favorites were all bought~ all thanks to hermie~ hAhazz~ he remembered my otak and crabsticks! lun bought bread and we had toast bread, which became an instant favourite among everyone~ loLz=P
the BBQ would be even greater if there's stingrays!! still remember our last BBQ when everyone of us were fighting over every piece of stingray flesh~ loLz=P
junkang asked an interesting question - would we be still playing basketball together at the age of 30?
some replied that we would have shifted out by then, married and probably not playing basketball ever again. but whatever the outcome is, i'm sure glad that i got to know these bunch of people who fought for every single game, just to win=)
abandoned them after the BBQ and met kimmish. along the way, there was an minor accident and i really wonder why was the driver taking photographs of the damage.
headed back to fajar mcdonalds but it was closed, so we bought drinks at 7-11 and walked to hermzie's place. along the way, we climbed the steep slopes of the field and was amazed by the vast numbers of stars~ lolz=P
played cards at some void deck and lost again =.-'' someone teach me to win in daidee... loLz=P

three days of the presence of God; salvations and healings commonly as one.
day 1
i was extremely excited about Rev Benny Hinn's healing crusade at the Singapore Indoor Stadium and i couldn't wait to experience and see God's amazing power displayed right before my very own eyes.
Rev Benny Hinn has his own entourange of body guards and most of them were formerly seals or marines. super tough looking and huge, their presence was greatly felt wherever they went. i was even stopped by one of them because he suspected that my pass doesn't belong to me =.-''
anyway, the healing crusade at day 1 was an eye-opener for me. on the first day itself, many people were healed by the power of God and touched by the presence of God. personally, i held 2 sisters when they stood up from their wheelchair.
when they started walking about, they were so overwhelmed that they kept repeating, i'm healed i'm healed!! thank You Jesus!!
even myself was overwhelmed and almost teared when i started to praise God with them.
Day 2
at the 4.30pm service, the presence of God was SO rich that i started to tear a little, though i was serving. during that period of time, i decided to focus only on God and don't bother about my surroundings. the presence of God came in such a mighty wave that its something i never felt before.
its like the Glory of God desending into the Indoor Stadium and when Rev Benny Hinn asked us to receive the anointing, the entire stadium was slain. i really wished that i fell under the power of God, but because we were serving, the security personnels didn't get slain.
but i believe that our Spirit Man received the anointing!!
even Rev Benny Hinn said that the presence of God was so rich that he never felt it so strongly before. praise God!! and with that, Rev Benny Hinn promised to come back near year, at the NATIONAL STADIUM!!
the power of God came and many were healed again! unusual miracles indeed and praise God because some received their salvation too!!
day 3
i felt really exhausted by now. for the past few nights, i've slept less than 8 hours. i really couldn't think fast enough and Venetia even said that i was stoning, which shouldn't be the attitude when i'm serving God.
when we're serving God, we MUST give our best shot no matter how tired we are. Pastor Kong sleeps very little at night, but we don't see him preaching with a stoned face. we serve God with all our heart and with joy! not with force!!
serving comes from the heart, not mind.
our physical body can be tired, so thats why the bible says that we must discipline our body so that we wouldn't listen to our body but instead, listen to our Spirit Man! this is something that i really need to work on and there's a verse that keeps appearing everywhere that says -
great are those who are humble in the kingdom of God, with childlike innocence and trust.
okie. its a mixture of 2 phrases but i'm sure that written somewhere in the bible, there's such a verse. i think that's my bible verse of the year, a rhema word from God, for this year.
to trust God with all my heart, with innocence and always expecting something different from God. not guessing what God would do, but just submit to His authority and will for my life.
serving in security now has a different meaning. usually we would know the flow of the service and what to expect, but with this word from God, i believe so that He wants to challenge and enlarge my capacity in Him.
i've a feeling that its gonna be tough, but i'll keep fighting the fight of faith. even when i'm walking through the shadow of death, i DO NOT fear because He's with me!

in about 7 hours, Rev Benny Hinn would make his appearance in the Singapore Indoor Stadium, so would the power of God and the healing powers of the Holy Spirit.
i was at the indoor stadium last night for a briefing with the security ministry. it was kinda fun and we toured the stadium again as there are many changes made. then, when we were told of what to expect, i was rather shocked and realized the reality of this healing crusade.
desperate people.
they would do all kinds of things just to get into the indoor stadium. be it the hard way or the soft way. but what we can only do is that when the doors are closed, we have to stop them from entering the stadium.
thats when everything can become really messy...
i'll be in one of those key positions (i think) that may face rowdy people. praise God for that position as it WILL mould and change my life for 3 straight days. talk about being moulded at a healing crusade..=/
i'll be doing stage, north west sector, and if im not wrong, that's where some people would try to gatecrash and rush to been Rev Benny Hinn or Pastor Kong. for all three nights, thats my permanent position. i guess its really something significant else they would have shuffled the positions.
praise God!
but still, its not some "honored" position because i'm just there to serve God and to protect His messengers.
for those that are reading my blog, please do pray for me...
pray that i'll be strong physically, mentally and emotionally. like REALLY STRONG.
pray that i'll be able to withstand the stress and pressure from the crowd as they try to break in.
pray that i'll not be distracted by comments made by the crowd.
pray that i'll not react back to the crowd thats making crude remarks.
pray that i'll have favor, so that the crowd wouldn't be unhappy with me.
pray that the Holy Spirit fills me up and His presence would be strong.
pray that i'll carry the presence of God mighty, with authority, yet not abusing it.
pray that i'll be moulded to who God wants me to be.
pray for the hand of God to move on all three nights.

one of the best starts of the day - waking up at 8.15am, realizing that you've a presentation between 8am to 10am.
i was shocked when Ronald sms'ed me and asked if i'm coming to school.
thank God i didn't have to wait long for a cab and i stepped into class at 9.00am. i barely settled down in class and was informed that its my group's turn to present. so thats like 2 shocks in less then 1 hour.
thank God i delivered my part of the presentation really smoothly and managed to capture the attention of my classmates. i saw my lecturer's remarks about my group (secretly) and she wrote that we're articulate, good research, good slide layout and some other stuff which i didn't catch because she caught me reading it~ =X
was on the same bus with one of the classmates and she said that our group's presentation was really good and the slides were plain, yet straight to the point. thank God that she felt it that way!! after looking at other group's slide, i felt that my group's research wasn't in depth!
i guess most of my projects are completed and awaiting teacher's assessment. but thank God for His creativiy, favour and so much more other things. i want to shine for Jesus in the areas of my studies!! in order for that to happen, i got to study hard, myself, and pray for the wisdom and understanding of God to be upon me.
pray for me alrite? =)

do you believe in Angels?
after watching a TV series - Angels, i found myself asking that question.
we often protray Angels dressed in white garments and wings on their backs. but in the television series, they protrayed Angels as human beings filled with the love of God and they are here on earth with a mission, to do what our Father in Heaven says.
in the bible, Angels are used to care for people, to protect, to inform and to destory. Jesus Himself was taken care by Angels when He was in the wilderness for 40 days, to be tempted by the devil.
whats an Angel like? are we able to see an Angel when we come face to face with it? could an Angel be around you right now, taking care of you, encouraging you and supporting you in times of difficulities? maybe you're an Angel, without knowing it?
i used to think that i'm an Angel. loLz=) i've this discernment thingy in me that's pretty accurate. often when my friends share their problems with me, or merely is hiding something from me, i would be able to figure out whats the problem even if my friend didn't tell me.
sometimes its almost like an voice in my head, telling me specific details and my friends do get shocked at times.
another reason i thought i'm an Angel because i've a sensitive nature and i could tell easily if that person is getting bothered by something, or if that person is hiding something from me. though it may get over sensitive at times, or totally insensitive, it has been really useful when i'm with my friends.
but i know that i'm just a human being, created by God by His awesome power and uniqueness.
Angel or not, i don't know. but i do believe in Angels and they are all around me.
after watching a TV series - Angels, i found myself asking that question.
we often protray Angels dressed in white garments and wings on their backs. but in the television series, they protrayed Angels as human beings filled with the love of God and they are here on earth with a mission, to do what our Father in Heaven says.
in the bible, Angels are used to care for people, to protect, to inform and to destory. Jesus Himself was taken care by Angels when He was in the wilderness for 40 days, to be tempted by the devil.
whats an Angel like? are we able to see an Angel when we come face to face with it? could an Angel be around you right now, taking care of you, encouraging you and supporting you in times of difficulities? maybe you're an Angel, without knowing it?
i used to think that i'm an Angel. loLz=) i've this discernment thingy in me that's pretty accurate. often when my friends share their problems with me, or merely is hiding something from me, i would be able to figure out whats the problem even if my friend didn't tell me.
sometimes its almost like an voice in my head, telling me specific details and my friends do get shocked at times.
another reason i thought i'm an Angel because i've a sensitive nature and i could tell easily if that person is getting bothered by something, or if that person is hiding something from me. though it may get over sensitive at times, or totally insensitive, it has been really useful when i'm with my friends.
but i know that i'm just a human being, created by God by His awesome power and uniqueness.
Angel or not, i don't know. but i do believe in Angels and they are all around me.

sunday service!!
was supposed to give kim the morning call, but instead, she was the one that gave me the morning call at 6.05am. heh.. thank God another friend of hers suddenly called her and said that he suddenly felt like giving her a morning call. weird eh? =P
service today rawkz! Pastor Kong preached in accordance to next week's healing crusade with Rev Benny Hinn and Pastor Kong kinda geared us towards the healings and miracles of God. Pastor Kong prayed for the sick too, in our own church, and i can testify that God is indeed a healing God!!
not much people would know that i hurt my back during a basketball game last year. since then, whenever i play basketball, i would feel the strain for the next few days. this morning, the strain was pretty bad. when i was serving in the auditorium, my back was kinda "achey" and i felt kinda uncomfortable.
then during the ministry time, Pastor asked the congregation to respond of we need healing from God. i responded and prayed together with Pastor Kong. i didn't feel anything special or powerful, but after Pastor asked us to check ourselves, i realize that the "achey" feeling was gone!!
praise the Lord!! thank God for healing!!
this week is gonna be an exciting week. Rev Benny Hinn is in town and i'm exploding with excitement. miracles and healings will happen on friday and saturday; i really hope that out of the 11,000 seats in the indoor stadium, more then 80% is taken by CHC members. its gonna be weird if the majority of the crowd belongs to Christians from other churches=/
well, its gonna be a busy week for me, but i'm trusting God in His never ending presence, strength, anionting and power!

God's timing.
God's timing is so important in our lives and if we rush His timing, everything goes wrong and falls off eventually.
thank God for strength, even right now. i've slept only 3 hours last night, as i met kim for SUPER late supper. or should i say breakfast? =X anyway, i just came back from school and i didn't really feel sleepy. so i went online, even though i know that no one would be online at this time.
logged into msn and this sister messaged me.
she shared with me her experience with God when i bought her to church last year and she thanked me for everything. she also shared that she saw a difference in me and she believes that its God who changed me.
this sister felt God on the first occasion she stepped into church and her life was changed. though she didn't come back after that week, she shared that she was facing a difficult time and when i invited her to church, she felt peace in her heart when she responded to the altarcall and got prayed for.
i still remember her telling me that she felt something in her heart.
now she is faced with a slight problem. she comes from a buddhist family and its hard for her to let go. so she asked me for advise and thank God for His wisdom, i managed to explain things clearly to her and she felt blessed.
she has been crying out to God for healin upon her friend. when she shared with me that she has been prayin for her friend, i felt so encouraged. here i have, a sister, who's so hungry for God and a desire for her friend to be healed. God WILL definitely heal that friend of hers, because of her faith!
its really encouraging to see such hunger for God. it makes me overjoyed and ever praising God.

MOE made a press conference earlier at announced that JAE would be extended till monday.
i guess with this extension, most students would feel extremely relieved because they would have more time choosing their course and school. BUT, why are they given so much time now!? i only had 3 days of JAE during my time!! everything was SO packed and everyone was pratically registering on the first day, without much consideration!!
well, good for this year's batch of students=) but i've a number of friends who are still stranded, not sure what course to choose or school to study in.
nix finally enrolled in mass comm after loads of spiritual attacks, xuexin felt called to chinese studies, kim still can't decide between NP or SP, lynn still don't know what course to take, alvin thinks that BIT is good, mingjie and longfei can't wait to start school at NP, yuxin decided to challenge herself at RJC and charmaine is stayin at ACJC.
if i left out your name, sorry=P
school's been pretty exciting. imagine meeting lost friends who really can't seem to decide where to go, and getting lost in SP with kimberlish. well, i do enjoy getting lost in SP because it gives me SO much bad stuffs to talk about SP and convince kim to enroll in NP~ loLz=P even the food there doesn't really taste special~ food is like SO important and without good food, how can you study!?
dumdeedeedum~ not for me to judge~ lalala~ but anyway, even though i've been stuck in NP for 2 years and i do feel that its so much friendlier looking then SP=X
i can be NP best student ambassador=)

Hillsongs - Shout To The Lord
My Jesus, my Savior
Lord there is none like you
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of your mighty love
My comfort, my Shelter
Tower of refuge and stength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship you
Shout to the Lord, all the earth
Let us sing.
Power and majesty, praise to the king.
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of your name
I sing for joy at the work of your hands
Forever I'll love you, forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you

its a blessed blessing day=) first of all, i was late for an hour for Human Communication class, but my lecturer didn't say anything. then, she remembered that i'm a Christian and i'm interested in the Planet Shakers concert, so she took down my email and said that she would inform me about the concert thingy.
so i asked if i could bring my friends along and she said OKIE!! but, only 20. loLz=P i've more then 20 names who wants to go to the concert, several of which wants multiple tickets~ well, most likely i'll get tickets for those who knows everyone who's going. imagine the fun man~ =D=D=D

then i met up with ronald and daniel to do our human comm project.
completed half of the project and decided to continue on saturday, because of an unknown reason~ hEh.
xuanie messaged and told me that she's in NP, so i decided to look for her since she's just so nearby. with loads of shock, she's with xueyi and wanyi. both gurls are thinking of studying in NP and came to listen to the lecturers "brainwash" them. somehow, they seem interested in EI=/ heh.
