HEADACHE!!!

Today's muffin making lesson was a great success!! Thanks to Aunty ChuPeng and Uncle Russ for the excellent hospitality. Had a great time learning how to make muffins, and according to Aunty ChuPeng, the cleaner Aunty, Aunty Sharon and my family and a few more others, the muffins were a success! Yeah!!

Other than muffins, i had lunch with Uncle Russ and Aunty ChuPeng. Had a wonderful chat with them, and even though WenMing is like 1 yr older than me, but i feel that both Uncle Russ and Aunty ChuPeng are like Grandparents I never had. =) Uncle Russ also gave me a tour of all the books that he had. Fwah it was super interesting. I learned like so much authors and lit stuff in just 1 afternoon. Even though i cant remember the names and all, but they do leave an impression. I got 2 books from Uncle Russ, after 1 afternoon of book tour, i feel quite inspired to read again.

After that, i head down to church to play table tennis with some of the guys. Fwah Yvonne, Abel and Alan are super zai lor.. lost to all of them. they are like super skillful, can smash can spin the ball and backhand super consistent. There is also gideon, who always spin the ball, making it quite hard to hit. Even though i kinda not so pro in this sport, but i find it super fun to play. I have learned alot of things through this sport. Looking forward to train more and find out more about this sport.

Being so near the basketball court, i was also tempted to play abit of bball la.. even though i played just a little bit, i kinda like used up all the energy that i had .. hai.. i think there is something wrong with me sia... But den again .. i am still recupertaing, this is the first day in getting back.. so i think should take it more slowly.

Lastly, i have been having this constant headache since after camp on Sat. the pain is rather intense at times. Hopefully it goes away in the next few days. I cant really focus when talking to ppl with this headache sia... so really pray that it will go away.

Oh yes thanks to all those who are reading my blog. i tot no one reads it liao.

Getting On

After slacking at home for 1 whole day yesterday, i will try to get back to my normal life of doing things today. Even though still kinda tired, but i also feel kinda sickly not doing anything.

After lunch, will head down to church to play table tennis with yvonne and gideon. I heard yvonne super zai can win alan.

Done

Last Wednesday, i finished my duty as temporary church warden, Mr Ma came back and i handed him the key.
Last Thursday, i finished my duty as camp commandant of the youth camp.

The experience of being a church warden was good. I was able to learn quite a bit of stuff. I had to be very discipline too, as i had to wake up very early everyday, to make my way to church. As the church warden, there was alot of things to be done, and i am quite surprise that Mr Ma had to actually do so much. My respect for him increase even more after hanging out with him and finding out even more about him. really respect *punch chest*

Yeah.. camp was good, it ended on thursday. The experience was good. Gave my best, put in all the energy and strength that i had, still very tired though. After camp, organised a movie outing, had a major hiccup, as i left hozzy out. Still feel super bad that i left her out. After every effort put in i stilled kinda failed.. hai ..
Well camp was really good, had a great time with lydia marcus joshua alan isabel shu ivn and becky. It was good to see both marcus and joshua having such a good time. really pray that God will continue to guide them and help them grow. Playing such a major role in camp also allow me to see alot of things. Such things i will blog in another time.

Currently still recuperating as body still feels exhausted, and mind still not rested enough. Looking forward to the camp reunion on the 11 Dec, where everyone bonds together once again.

It's been a few days

It has been a few days that i have been working as the church warden. It is just kinda interesting to be working alone, moving around in church and being on standby when you have to. Well today i played like 4 hours of basketball.. it is just so tempting to working near a basketball court. well before that i swept it nice and clean.. I brought a hammock so that i can chill in the shed. Fwah super shiok ... besides being stuck here like the whole day, i actually dont mind this job. quite relaxin and i can do my own stuff. So many things have been going on, some quite disappointing .. some quite encouraging.. but all the thinking makes it tiring. Well few days more to camp... gotta be strong...
2 more weeks before byebye ..

Basket!! ball court got car

Stupid cars.. they block everything .. now cant play bball or sweep floor.. back at level 5...

Found the time to blog

I am sitting in church level 5 now, typing this entry. For those who do not know i am using someone else's wireless network to get on the net. The time is 8.58 am now. Got to church at 7, open up the whole place, and den watered the plants. Got all these done at around 7.40am. Played abit of bball, den come to level 5 to start using the com. so early no one is online yet. Well read abit of news and now decided to do abit of blogging.

I think i will see if i can stay in church for the next 2 weeks as the church warden, because i gotta wake up like super early just to reach church before anyone is here to open it. Which is about 6.45 everyday. If i stay in church, i get to wake up like 6.30 to open up the place, rather den 5.30 and den take a bus down.

Being the church warden is kinda interesting. I get access to everywhere in church. And most of the time i do everything alone. Kinda reminded me of my younger days where i am not so outgoing. Kinda did everything that i like to do alone. It gave me quite alot of thinking time too. But along the way i was thinking what actually happened that i became so radical and havoc unlike before. Yup..

Camp is approaching in like a weeks time. Well.. my mind is blank for now...

going to sweep the basketball court now....

Belong

This life I'm living
I'm so quick to call it mine
These days these hours
The moments we call time
But ever beat of my heart
And every breath I take
Are ones that You have given
Reminding me that always

For You I was created
To sing salvation's song
For You have bought me
With Your blood
To You I do belong

Only a Savior
Would pay so great a price
How deep the love must be
That would make such a sacrifice

How could I ever thank You
What could I ever say
Except that I will follow You
And with my life I will proclaim

For You I was created
To sing salvation's song
For You have bought me
With Your blood
To You I do belong

And every beat of my heart
And every breath I take
Are ones that You have given
Reminding me that always

For You I was created
To sing salvation's song
For You have bought me
With Your blood
To You I do belong

Words of Wisdom from Aunty Janet

You cannot alway Judge a book by it's cover
You must always give others a benefit of a doubt
You must administer grace to those who have repent, as God said because you ask for forgivness and repent you shall be forgiven. So if God is graceful to us, we must show the same amount of grace to others.

many more .. still trying to recall

Worlds Apart

I am the only one to blame for this
Somehow it all adds up the same
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride
I flew too high and like Icarus I collide
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
To rid myself of all but love
to give and die

To turn away and not become
Another nail to pierce the skin of one who loves
more deeply than the oceans,
more abundant than the tear
Of a world embracing every heartache

Can I be the one to sacrifice
Or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow

To love you - take my world apart
To need you - I am on my knees
To love you - take my world apart
To need you - broken on my knees

All said and done I stand alone
Amongst remains of a life I should not own
It takes all I am to believe
In the mercy that covers me

Did you really have to die for me?
All I am for all you are
Because what I need and what I believe are worlds apart

Additional lyrics:

I look beyond the empty cross
forgetting what my life has cost
and wipe away the crimson stains
and dull the nails that still remain
More and more I need you now,
I owe you more each passing hour
the battle between grace and pride
I gave up not so long ago
So steal my heart and take the pain
and wash the feet and cleanse my pride
take the selfish, take the weak,
and all the things I cannot hide
take the beauty, take my tears
the sin-soaked heart and make it yours
take my world all apart
take it now, take it now
and serve the ones that I despise
speak the words I can't deny
watch the world I used to love
fall to dust and thrown away
I look beyond the empty cross
forgetting what my life has cost
so wipe away the crimson stains
and dull the nails that still remain
so steal my heart and take the pain
take the selfish, take the weak
and all the things I cannot hide
take the beauty, take my tears
take my world apart, take my world apart
I pray, I pray, I pray
take my world apart

1 Peter 5:1-4

To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, a witness of Christ's sufferings and one who also will share in the glory to be revealed: Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers--not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.

How I Love You

Here I stand
Before You my heart is still
Wanting just to be with You
Waiting here long for Your voice to speak
Touch me now
Its your face i seek

How my soul longs for You
To be with you adore You
Nothing more i want to do
Than to sing to You

Jesus i'm in love with You
Speak to me whisper Your words of truth
Take my heart
Won't You make me new
Jesus how i love You
How i love You

On my knees
Before i lay my life
Giving all a living sacrifice
Take my life
All that i long to give
Set apart
Only for You my King

How my soul longs for You
To be with you adore You
Nothing more i want to do
Than to sing to You

Jesus i'm in love with You
Speak to me whisper Your words of truth
Take my heart
Won't You make me new
Jesus how i love You
How i love You

How my soul longs for You

After God's Heart

Interestingly, this has been on my mind for some time .. How to be someone ( or man for my case) who is after God's heart? I know heart issue is something God looks at all the time.. so how to get that? hmm... this is a quest for it.
