hehs. a most unfortunate sequence of events brought me to NP today, seriously. haha.
i set out at like, 8.30am and for an hour only 2 buses passed me by,both were fully packed. in other words, no bus. :D haha.was supposed to meet weiyan at NP like 9.30? and by then i just decided to give boon a ring and we cabbed down,arriving at LT68 a full half hour late with 8 each ripped from our pockets. it could've pissed the shit out of me,really.for one reason or another i felt a little queasy on the ride t school, but even then the lord just pointed out that i could choose, to start out my day on the belief that this day sucks big time and things were just not meant to work out for me on the 26th of april,thursday , OR i could choose to start out on the belief that nothin could make this choice for me,not even the worst of my circumstances.and what really amazed me was how much easier it has become for me to make this choice.
of course thats not to say we should all get complacent if we react approriately to such a situation. you cant compare me with you! haha. cus in our own walks of life different situations are thrown in our way and we react to them diffferently altogether, what applies for me might not apply for you, what pisses the crap out of you might bring me immeasurable joy and such. haha you get the idea. of course not always to such an extreme la. hehs. but yea, as you rise above each situation, be assured that there's more to come. and they will test you just like before, its only gonna get tougher and tougher. but you realise that as you fall and pick yourself up,learn, and then continue walking, you pick up speed and at least you find yourself going somewhere. with that thought i leave you, ive got loadsa work to catch up on today... my weekend's gon be packed so i gotta finish my work just so i'll manage my sat and sun this week. and i skipped floorball training for this. pftb. choices. HAHAHA.
oh hey, here's a lil poetry that i wrote,its been weeks,yeah,so my standard of english is rusting but hey, i put some serious heart into this for like, 10 minutes of my life last eve so please please give it a read and show some love laaaaa. :D so i'll see y'all round.
Singing a love song for my king
Standing in your courts o god,what could I ever bring
Words could never really describe enough
nothing could ever compare to this love
Lying under this blanket of stars
Lord im remided of how you’ve redeemed me from my past
And so I stand before you just as I am today
with empty hands and no words left to say
so will you take this life and do with it as you please?

god I ask that your spirit will take its rightful place and have free reign in me again
even as i was bout t turn in this morn, feeling a lil flustered I picked up the guitar(yea,that half-wrecked guitar.she still sings,now aint that sweeet?heh)sorta starting out with a mild switch from G to C i begun praying and the lord wasted no time at all in speaking the words my heart so longed to hear all week. well okay… it didn’t exactly come in the form of a voice that pops up and the works,don’t get me wrong,I was the channel through which god would use to speak to me. haha yeah yeah, take your time to digest that. its ME,supposedly, speaking to ME, the words ME needed to hear, from ME? no, from the lord la deh. hahahah! confused already right.
ANYWAYS…heh. the lord brings me back to this > song. At the cross. the lyrics to this song were what the lord knew my heart needed to be reminded of again.
right there and then,I was filled with such intensity and measure of the holy spirit and my hands never grew tired,I could never aptly enough describe such an experience with you, but I assure you, this one thing the lord has to say to all of you today,do not lose yourself to routine,as every chapter begins in your life, look back to your first love and rest once again in the salvation that comes from christ jesus, for it was only in his death on the cross that our life could first begin,and it is at that point every situation,every circumstance,every predicament, has been surrendered and we can live victory.
‘seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all this things shall be added unto you’
It all starts at the cross.
those were merely tears that were shed
lord what is that compared to the wounds by which you bled?
it all starts at the cross
without it id be so darn lost.
heh this is a pretty awesome movie y’all.go watch it okay?
oh hey,the message behind this sorta ties in with what the lord spoke to me as well. heh. :D do not lose yourself to routine,take that step out every now and then.learn t appreciate the lil things in life, they give that extra spark you need to continue walkin,as boring and tiring as the going gets.
SP3! woosa.gon watch that next week with the GY-ians. :D

the lord ‘s been reiterating the importance of my need to understand completely what this means. Its really not as simple as you think, do not take it at face level! Untill you live and experience this word for yourself, all its ever gonna be is another catchy statement.untill you do, it becomes simpler because you learn to recognise cause and effect, action and reaction,the theory that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction is more than just another boring sentence in a -textbook that you are forced to be well aquainted with.
galatians 6:8 says, ‘the one who sows to please his sinful nature,from that nature will reap destruction,the one who sows to please the spirit,from the spirit will reap eternal life’
that’s right. every choice you make gives rise to a possibility of outcomes, and they could be good or bad, it does not pivot on the grounds on which your choice was based, it pivots on the CHOICE itself.why,you ask.compromise. which leads to justification later,which blunty put- is what we call an excuse. we find ways and means to disprove the severity of the consequence because it supposedly started out with ‘all the right intentions,not out of deliberate malice or bad will’.
after which does it affect the outcome? not the slightest,no. it was through justification and compromise that sin was conceived in Adam and Eve. And right till this very day although we do not live the consequences of sin because ‘he who knew no sin became sin on our behalf’ … you know how the story goes- sin is still very much in existence. we could never live completely free of sin, but we could strive to live against sin. every choice you make,every decision carries with it enough power to show how much of christ you have in you, and equally so it has the ability to put the name of god to shame.looking at it this way,its not really all too difficult to choose aint it? haha everything else is pretty much walking with god,take time to reflect on how much of that it’s gonna take for you to make a certain choice in your life that appears wayyyy to difficult,and the means by which such a choice would be made easier.
ive struggled with making a choice,all of us have im sure.this choice involves(yes, you guessed it) sin. where god is concerned its always a matter of black,or white. walk the world’s way,sin. walk the lord’s way, no sin. and then satan throws in the grey and everyone gets so bloody pissed. haha cus that’s precisely what he wants! to make your choice a lil more difficult, to convince you that maybe you could have the best of two, why not? the bible says this ‘let your yes be a yes and your no be no’ and this ‘if you are not with me you are against me’ he didn’t say ‘if you are with me physically and not with me spiritually you are still with me,everything’s still the same’ and today during cell anchoring on what bjorn shared about how the lord has also pointed out to him the meaning of reaping what you sow,the lord sorta revelead to me that it all comes back to the seed that was sown,not so much of the fruits that come thereafter. why is always easy for us to sin, feel all guilty, seek forgivness and then turn full circle the very next momment?
god points out the reason in proverbs4:23 ‘above all else guard your heart,for from it flows the wellspring of life’
lord my prayer today is simple. search our hearts. You know our ways, you know how we think and why we think the way we do. You know what drives our every action. remove the seeds of strongholds in our lives so that you could take root and establish in us, that our every choice, thought they could never be perfect, will at the very least reflect your glory because we know that you were crucified so we could be free from the chains of sin and we can live in victory. Amen.

NP’s a fresh start altogether for me, and ive set out with the determination that im gonna double up my efforts and work toward 3.5 for my GPA score. of course, as i begin to settle in and get a feel of the pace and the workload that awaits, there will be adjustments to that aim. Only higher. Hahaha. and no, id not forget my fair share of fun as well.
on a lighter note! Checked out canoe training today, lol it was pretty tiring la!tho at the end of everything the thought of how id actually made it through was like the ultimate kick,cus no… ive swiftly disappeared from the ranks of the fit and fitter since don’t-know-when. hahaha. yeah and did i mention,the girls were like suber fit, i might as well just kill myself la. hah! the thing that sucked was that training was gon burn my weekends, and after weighing my options it was clear enough that as much as canoeing would earn me a hot bod and if it works out to be a passion, buffing up while doing what you love doing best is just a bonus that’s still too hard to resist. all this aside, it clashes with commitments that i have at church so yeah, im gonna take a step out in faith to honour god above all else and trust that he’s gon lead the way to a better cca. and so you see that it begins with a choice- ive weighed my options and no, I don’t think where I stand at the end of it is gonna be any less of where I would have been should I have went with canoeing.i think its gon be a whole lot better.
so will you stick around for that day? :D

school’s bout t start… so there you go, we’ve come to the end of my days in rotting! lol. pretty excited about seeing yamatai peeps round campus…i don’t know bout the rest of the freshies la,i certainly had buckets of fun at baoc, prolly cus i was dancing so i skipped the boring bits here and there…hahaha. however it turned out… yamatai’s leaders were of one heart and I think tht was crucial in putting this all toget,that is what makes any team a success.and i think that’s the way it is with god too!
If we were to lay down our defences,look past our differences,forsake our own selfish desires and abandon our closest hopes and dreams,and see that we are of one spirit, if we were to fix our eyes on the life that we know we should lead not out of obligation but simply because that’s how god has called us to live-the obedience of which promises an abundance of blessings that far quench the thirst in you than anything else the world so claims to! ive realised tht ive tried t live out of the best of both worlds,live a righteous life for one day and chase after fleeting pleasures the next. the source of which i also realised was confusion.most of us are confused about what we really want in life- we think this is it, but it changes based on our circumstance- what we want pivots around what we think we can have,what we think we need to have.wht happens next after these things disappoint?what happens after you realise that you cant have these things?
‘if the lord delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm;though he stumbles,he will not fall,for the lord upholds him with his hand’ psalms 37:23-2
do not be confused, but be assured that should you choose t walk with god,you will stumble, but you will not fall. You will fill empty but he comes in and fills you with the strength to walk on.

for starters id like to say a word of thanks to ALL of you who sent your birthday greetings in the following ways…
1) Personally
2) On Msn
3) Ring
4) Text
5) Tagged
6) Dropped testimonials
7) Telepathically
This also goes out t GY8 for the sweet sweet seranade- and for the peeps who blew holes in their pocs for dinner at swens with me on tues night. thaaaaaanks.
Hah there’s like so many people to thank-
1) Perl, yamatai’s SC/GL for picking jon,gerald and aku out to dance for yamatai- was a great honour to,and i can safely say all of us dancers had an awesome time rocking the house to the glory of Yamatai! lol!
2) it aint the easiest thing t pick up any genre of dance and perfect it in 2 days, but hey- this was where all the GLs/Scs/SBs/Scos came in, and y’all are bout the awesomest people for all that time and effort spent to work with us on our dance and throw out pointers for improvement t make it look so ass-kicking la! hahah!
3) all of yamatai’s dancers, jon,gerald,samuel,zhanyi,guoping and the gals- hey,we made best dance- :D
i don’t have all the pictures in yet- for your viewing pleasure,these are bits and pieces i got from the dancers- post BAOC 2007- Ba’s freshies.enjoy.
the lord keeps bringing me back to this verse in romans 8:28‘and we know that in all things god works for the good of those who love him,and have been called according to his purpose’
it always serves as an apt reminder that everything and everyone can be working against you, but if we anchor ourselves in the love of god, we can be ‘hard-pressed on every side,but not crushed;perplexed,but not in dispair; persecuted but not abandoned;struck down but not destroyed’
the thing about this phrase ‘his purpose’ is tht we tend t confuse it with ‘our purpose’,and the reason why is pretty simple actually. cus we fear what god reveals to us about what he wants in our lives.cus we dont see how what god wants could ever fit in, and we think we could steer our lives in a better direction.
and for that reason we fabricate another purpose altogether,one that makes more sense;to us that is.and we spend all our efforts in a fruitless pursuit, the end of which leaves you just as empty as you were.put an end to these futile pursuits today,they lead you to everywhere but the place your soul desires to be the most-where you can meet god. and the world instigates these outwardly pursuits so that we look everywhere for god in this world but ourselves.
the kingdom of god isnt really as far as we think it to be, do not be decieved! Within each of us the holy spirit has deposited seeds of faith,and should we tap into the right source,from this seed will spring forth fruits that bring restoration, redeem you from the stains of your past,and free you from living as a slave to fleeting pleasures and in its place will immeasurable joy take root in your heart-because you love the lord, he stands with you,and because he stands with you, nothing can stand against you.

schools’ bout t start… I don’t know about you, but it’s a fresh chapter altogether for me… there’s always this fear of how you’re gonna fit in and everything, like how are you going t find your place with the people in school.always felt that way,and always will. haha.whats different I think is how the lord puts this excitement in me, to meet new people and things.i feel like ive grown far out of secondary school days already la.i don’t know how i could best put it in words for you man, but I think all of you sharing this stage of life with me get the drift.haha.
beckoning in new days with me was ignez, the princess and bundle of joy to the DE tribe. even as danny and evelyn commited their baby girl to the lord on the 6th- it was to us, a reminder of how all of us in this tribe have grown in our walks of life for a year around her. she’s always brought a smile to our faces when we most needed it, just cradling her would bring such joy that you could,at that momment,laugh away the cares of the world just by holding her close to you and pinching those chubby little cheeks. haha.
but yeah- it got me to look back at how ive walked with god for the past year or so.who knows what life has in store for you in the years to come? its always good to take a step out and look at how the lord has been faithful-it just spurs you on to continue to walk right with him as tough as the going gets.
the past weekend was a reminder of how god loves us-even when we feel like our lives carry the stains of sin,sin that cannot be washed clean from our conscience,sin that makes us unworthy of love, sin that robs us of our value, sin that makes us feel empty and rejected from the world at the end of the day.the lord was brought to his knees so that we could stand again,figuratively speaking, so that we could walk free from the chains of sin. He who knew no sin,became sin on our behalf. he was crucified so that we could walk as free men,not in the ways of this world, but in the light of his risen glory.
‘…and being found in appearance as a Man,he humbled himself and became obedient to death-even death on a cross!therefor god exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,that at the name of jesus every knee shallbow,in heaven and on earth and under the earth,and every tongue confess that jesus christ is lord,to the glory of god the father’ ephesians 2:8-11
where’s the proof? all this talk about salvation and how christianity changes lives is not just a cover up of a reality we’re afraid to admit.its so much more than just that and id tell you straight up that jesus exists, and id be willing to show it to you any day.cause here’s a life that’s found meaning, here’s a life that is valued, here’s a life that knows jesus.

:O
hellllllo monday! it doesnt feel like it but tomorrow's my b-day man. oooooosh! :D heh where do i start... its been one hell of a week la!
every second leading right up to TGIF stressed the crap outta me but hey,the lord brought me through and i wanna give thanks for that! haha!id be just about the last person you'd choose to lead games for a crowd of 150 people,yet little did i realise that the absurdity of such a choice,or so it appeared to me-would work out for the greater good of both the people, as well as my co-host and aku! its shit really,when time's working against you and working out the logistics become the least of your problems. cause then you also need to have that chemistry with each other so when the occasion calls for it, you can think on your feet and act accordingly without risking a dip in the 'high' that you went to such great pains to stir up.that we did, promptly. then again there were the hours spent at the laptop, typing away like there's no tomorrow and trying to no avail to come up with that something extra that would give it that ooooMPH we were looking for. fresh out of my rotting days this proved to be a life-threatening task. haha woooopsey =x
haha yeah,and so it was a demoralizing week for us as friday drew closer, that fear in my heart cast a shadow over my spirit and my confidence level plunged to an all-time low.
thursday's rehearsal was like a slap in the face for me, i went home feeling a lil shitty about myself but as i settled down by my bed- tired and fussed, the lord just breathed into me such incredible rest,that as i felt prompted to lose the script there was just this awesome feeling of release-and i felt like i was ready to take on the world. haha. you see,there are always times when i run on empty and end up feeling all crappy cus i got so caught up in that momment that i begin to lose the very essence of who im really running this for. but the lord always brings me back to this word, and so i come on home again,not dispirited, but affirmed.
'...for we know that in all thing god works for the good of those who love him,who have been called according to his purpose...'
Romans 8:28
note that what we perceive to be good may not always be what the lord sees is best for us,and so we often get caught up in that momment and feel all crappy because we don’t see the full picture- what we see is a shit-ass situation and no way to get out of it .but if you could pause for just one sec and capture god’s heart behind your problem, if you were to align your heart with god and trust that something good will come out of this-then you find the peace in surrendering to the lord and the joy in receiving the real blessings he has intended for you all this while.
the lord told me that ‘son,its not about how you’ve prepared, or how much of yourself you have put into this,it really is about me and the reason why you’re doing all this,is so that the hearts of my people will be turned to me and they will be able to rejoice in their salvation because they experienced a god who is real in their lives, and this is how its going to happen-from you.’
the lord convicted me of how id lost the essence of the very event i was planning for all through the week, and even as the committee went into a time of prayer before the event, i repented before the lord and thereafter his spirit flowed freely in me and through me. I don’t know how lisa felt,but I believe she felt the same!because we set our hearts right with god, he is faithful to use us as channels of blessing to the people, through breaking the ice and readying the ground for which his word,word of his unceasing love-could be planted. you and i at tgif know that we had an awesome awesome time.
i know i did. (:

You loosen the knot and add pressure to it at the same time.
to allow your circumstance to decide for you if you should be a brother or if you should go against your own kind. then I also question your character,I question EVERYTHING that you so claim to stand for. not that im in a position to judge freely and act based on my judgement as he did- again it humours me that one could do so and fail to see the consequence of his actions after all this time.
for the seed of judgement that you so freely planted,such is the judgement you will also reap in due time,my brother.
i know on my part I should have gotten sense into you before sin blinded you from recognising any.i will not attempt to fabricate a lie and live with sin just as you just did,I remain unaffected, i just question. I question your identitly because clearly you lose it everytime when sin blocks all sense from coming into you and leads you to think you were right, and will always be. I question the stability of your emotions and the ground on which it is based. was it my fault? to you id say absolutely.even if it is not, id say i was at fault.does it pain you just to say those words? it does not? then I also question your integrity- your stand could very well be circumstancial.if the factors are all working against you what would you have to say? If it shakes you up right to the very core, what will you reaction be?
if it pains you then good- you are learning. yeah, this post comes across as a little serious and intense but hey- it is based on what ive had to take from a brother I always prayed would walk righteously with god,and from this episode I realise that this was the seed that he has planted way back then,the seed of judgement- and that same seed in due time reaps judgement,circumstances work against him and he is blinded from sense, denying righteous ways and walking away from god.
Am i disappointed, you ask. no.
At the very least I deserve to make the whole situation known and throw out my side of the story and how he has been unreasonable and everything,how he pisses the crap out of me?
no to that as well.
cus ive grown out of this, ive come to a point where im just gonna deny my rights and not make futile attempts to look justified in front of the world, im not putting up a hypocritical act. god knows my heart best and he’s gonna deal with that- why should I let anyone else decide how I should make my own decisions? i have no right,not even to my own life. what can i call my own? there are people who are coming of age and still live in the mindset that their circumstances control how they think feel and react without realising it is so, and its just sad.
it is god-given,this ability to think,reason,weigh and judge. but good seed planted on futile ground will reap nothing. worst- good seed planted on the wrong ground reaps destruction and ruins the harvest.
give that a thought.
It’s an in-your-face kinda reality,im not sure how many will be able to catch this and take it well enough to work for their own good, but then again im just being real for real’s sake, because this is exactly how I feel and based on THIS ground I want you to know that I will surrender my ways to god and be accountable to him- if it is righteous then so be it. If it is not- then there will be direction on how to move on from here.
I do not anticipate a time where he will acknowledge anything,anything at all. i await only to hear from god and besides that, I will just concentrate on serving god with all that i have and allow him to have free reign in what happens in the days that remain to TGIF,right up to TGIF itself. his work is still to be done, and nothing the devil attempts is going to throw me out of this course. Im not gonna let it. and if that fails,it fails. ‘If I perish,I perish.’ god’s in absolute control,what need I be fearful of? It is an extreme,really. but like I said-this is how real I have to be with myself in order to learn.
‘the one who sows to please his sinful nature;from that nature will reap destruction;the one who sows to please the spirit,from the spirit will reap eternal life.’ Galatians 6:8
I see how the seeds ive planted in the past are affecting the things of the future now, and im asking god to remove these seeds from my field so that it receives life from the spirit again and produces good crop in place of the destructive ones.
are you?

-a laptop;ms yee’s bday,prayer mt,TGIF reh,core grp and cell today. right,that’s the big picture for you,just the outline of it all-really. lol.
and in retrospect,I ask this - ‘so where was god in my week?’
god’s always with us,that’s besides the point. but isnt god only as close to you and I as we allow him to be?
sometimes our words say one thing but our actions say another altogether. we acknowledge jesus during service and when we attend cell-and promptly deny him thereafter. Its always easy to return to the past and revisit that old sin that has held you back for so long-and yet to take that step out of unrighteousness requires a great deal of effort. I think it all comes back to faith – do you really believe that we were all made in the image of christ and are called to live as he did, to strive to be christ-like as far as possible? no,seriously-do you think that’s a possible thing at all? It is at your own discretion,really.i don’t think we could ever be entirely like christ-but i certainly believe that we were made in his image and therefore to learn from him is not at all an impossible feat.i see it as a great opportunity to learn,not from a ‘great high preist’ or the ‘prince of peace’ although he is all of that-but from a mentor.someone who is real to me in every way I could possibly think of.i follow jesus because he shows all of us that he too,was once like us-vulnerable,subjected to verbal,emotional,spiritual,physical abuse,felt alone,rejected,tempted,tried… he too felt the pain of betrayal,denial,every thing YOU and I have and/or will go through at many points in our lives. could he have done differently? Yeah,deffinitely. that choice would weigh heavily on the heart of god then! cus it means that you and you,and you,AND you,and YOU,and you and everyone in this planet will not be around today. but because we choose to believe that because of that we live not in defeat but as victors in every aspect,we know that we can live like jesus did. WWJD is not just a catchy phrase, it should set you thinking on what you would really do if you were jesus,not because you are,but because you CAN be like him.
sidetrackkkkkkkkk. wooooopSEY!
anyway. where was god in my week, I ask. well as with every noteworthy mnt that was listed above-god had something to say to me. these were learning points that I now know god wants to use to tear down the work of the devil and build his house!and I begin to realise that as you surrender to him all that weighs you down,he uses these things to lift you up.he turns it all around to work for your good,and in the most awesomeeee ways most times. :D
some random shouts from the week-

You ask. come and he’ll show you some out of this world technology.no,seriously.he promises you a great time la!
Ms yee; you know we love you laaaa. we pray for the rest of god to be upon you and he’s strength even as you bring your choirs into yet another season of SYF. god honours your efforts and he will be faithful!
