Blessed be the Lord...

2008-08-25T21:12:00.002+10:00

Blessed be the Lord
When it's hurting
Blessed be Your Name
For You are the beginning

Blessed be Your Name
When my heart is in pain
Blessed be Your Name
Blessed be Your Name

In every season Lord
Joy or pain
Blessed be Your Name
In every moment Lord
Gladness or shame
Blessed be Your Name

Blessed be Your Name....
Blessed be Your Name

Your Name is higher higher
Your strength is stronger greater
You can heal my pain
You can heal my pain
Blessed be Your name

Today

2008-06-30T00:53:00.003+10:00

This is the day that the Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
I will complete all the plans that He has prepared for me today

As I fill up in prayer
And grow up inside
I prepare my armour.

Lord I decide to unclog my heart
Of all unforgiveness, complaining and negativity.
So that I can live free
And not let the devil gain a foothold on me

Jesus be my beginning
Jesus be my middle
Jesus be my end
Help me to love generously to the end.

Always go for the best and excellent. Continue growing, see further grow bigger inside. Let the Holy Spirit flow that you become more excellent and can reach more lives.

I feel I'm growing inside and gaining more capacity to love because of the Holy Spirit.

My First Attempt At Poetry and Song Writing

2008-06-23T00:09:00.002+10:00

Well, more to come.

[Today]

A fresh start
With new mercy
Goodness follows me
Oh Lord when I think
Of all You've done for me

You've given me salvation
And strength in the inner man
To love and care
To Your children and friends

How I love the family
That you have put me in
All the people to love and care
In the community in your hands

God help me to be better each day
To shine your light in dark places
And to have Your presence be there

Dear Jesus, this is my day to live for You
Dear Jesus, this day and for eternity I'll spend with You

Things That Tick Me Off

2008-06-18T23:34:00.002+10:00

1) Seeing no money in my superannuation fund.
2) Stress from deadlines.
3) People misusing the name of Jesus.

I'm Starting to Thank God in Word Again

2008-05-04T23:50:00.002+10:00

Ps. Russell really got me going when he went on the remembering session of all the great things God has done.

I want to thank God for:
1. Jesus, the Saviour, the King, Holy Spirit, the Guide and Counselor. Holy Spirit, what would I do without You?
2. Ps. Matt, Ps. Russell, Ps. Sam. For inspiring, lifting us to greater heights and loving us.
3. Dad, Mum, Ko and Andrew. You're the best family.
4. My urbies, friends and family. You make life great.
5. Guitars.
6. Soccer and Surfing.
7. Great movies and concerts.
8. Good food, man.
9. Great vision for the future.

I have a complete life. = )

Building Family

3) Special Days (birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, graduations, celebrations)

5) Communication (honest, open sharing)
6) Gifts
7) Protection

Devotion Today - Ruth

2008-04-28T20:45:00.005+10:00

Things that
Sees God as God. Hopes in Him. Sticks to Him and Naomi in hard times.

She represents hope and love in tough times. Beauty in spite of tragedy (that Boaz would look at her in the field and be attracted to her).

I believe God is looking for people to hold on, love and be 100% loyal and hope in Him in times of trial.

God, I pray for women to be empowered with 'Ruth' qualities. = )
In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

The King in Every Kid

2008-04-28T19:37:00.001+10:00

There is a difference between what God sees you and what you are. The journey to the difference is the process. The experience. The learning.

The Yoke of Leadership

2008-03-27T01:04:00.002+11:00

Today was like no other.

4 million souls. All age groups. Melbourne here we come.

1/2 hour filled by the Holy Spirit, praying in tongues. Holy Ghost resident. Make it a place He loves to stay. Worship, prayer, help, conversation, strengthening in the Holy Spirit, speaking in belief through the Holy Spirit it will be accomplished, providence will come and people's hearts will be changed.

Same yoke, same direction, work. Trained and equipped to plow the ground. Sow good seed of righteousness and destroy corrupted seed.

Body divided is dysfunctional. Need each other to support.

God, I worship You forever.

Kneeing in Awe Again

2008-03-24T19:46:00.003+11:00

In this moment, Lord I thank you for dying on the cross for our sins.

Displaying mercy in a harsh, judgmental world where the best of us fail.

Where with you there is life, hope, mercy and forgiveness for the worst of sinners.

That this day we remember what you did: love.

Sitting here
Standing again in awe of what You've done
That a King would go to the cross for us

I worship You because You're just
And I worship You for Your mercy
And I want to be just like You
Jesus, You're the man I wanna be

I worship You cause You're majestic
Oh, angels surround Your throne in worship
And let my rebellious heart humble itself
To be soft to be moulded in your teaching

Little Miracles

2008-03-03T22:48:00.000+11:00

Praise God for a good workplace. Praise God for conflict resolution. Praise God for finding solutions for problems.

2008-03-02T23:25:00.002+11:00

What if I missed the time
To say, "I love you"
Would things be the same?

What if I hadn't miss the 10,000 dinners
That I was supposed to be in

Would I be happier with life?
If I took the time to surf last night

I know I'm in need to be excellent at work
And there are seasons

God... weekends are precious.

Wisdom

2008-02-26T00:01:00.001+11:00

Part of wisdom is being humble and taking correction. I thank God and people who have told me areas to improve just to be a better person. Thank you and the corrections are precious treasures.

Great Day of Soccer and Company Dinner

2008-02-24T00:25:00.004+11:00

This is our huge ice cream

Oh, did you know we had another one too?

My Next Move

Thanks, God for the Great Conference

2008-01-06T10:48:00.000+11:00

As we praise there was an amazing presence of God. Jeffrey told me of a girl who came in with crutches getting healed and praising God jumping on the last night. We were taught of the power of God, positioning ourselves to receive, going for the manifest presence of God and praising, getting released from hurt and wanting to see all men saved.

Planetshakers 2008... was beautiful.

I Need...

2007-12-28T23:16:00.001+11:00

To love myself to receive great things from God, myself and people. To love God to appreciate my Creator, be thankful, worship, get guidance and live purpose. To love people to share the blessings and carry the burdens.

Love

2007-12-23T14:07:00.000+11:00

"Another day is meaningful and worth living if it's filled with love".

The heart's cry, the saviour's sacrifice and mercy's cry is "all for love".

The Heart is Always on a Treasure Hunt

2007-11-29T23:14:00.001+11:00

Guard your heart... for from it springs the issues of life.

It Is Wise to Count Your Blessings

2007-11-24T14:39:00.001+11:00

I thank God for God.
I thank God for my family and friends.
I thank God for my church.
I thank God for my friends.
I thank God for sport.
I thank God for worship and music.
I thank God for the wisdom that has been given to me.

Good Intentions

2007-11-05T00:33:00.001+11:00

Good intentions need to be communicated, acted upon and given a great medium. It also has to be effective, have a great follow up and review.

100% success.

Living in My Grace

2007-11-04T22:45:00.000+11:00

Today Ps. Russell shared on the importance of living in your grace (natural/supernatural ability), the importance of growing yourself, the fact that all graces are or equal importance and support each other. Also to not be jealous of other people's grace.

Music, Art and Dance

2007-10-27T22:04:00.000+10:00

I love the fact that music, art and dance are such a big part of life. I love creativity.

Contentment and Reaching My Full Potential

2007-10-22T22:27:00.000+10:00

Dream God dreams. Enjoy every day.

On the pursuit of the prize we sometimes miss the scenery. the people, the fresh smell of coffee and flowers.

Keep me at a good pace. Just the right pace.

What The World Needs...

2007-10-15T00:32:00.001+10:00

The world does not need another critic.
It needs people who will be the solution.

People do not need someone who will tell them how bad they are.
They need someone who is willing to help and walk with them through situations.

Purity and love is to hate evil. Mercy and compassion is what shines the light and makes religion attractive.

To do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with you God (Micah 6:8) . God, help me do that.

Checking Motive and Being Selfless

2007-10-12T23:26:00.001+10:00

Ray's message at Ocf today really encouraged and inspired me. Why do I serve or do things? It should be for the glory of God and to bless people, besides fulfilling God's purpose in your life. I was also encouraged to give and be selfless with time and effort.

A Friend Covers At All Time

2007-10-12T23:17:00.000+10:00

Forgiveness is a powerful thing. Both for the forgiver and forgiven. For people to survive this 70 years, forgiveness is so important when every year is filled with injustice. Of course we pray for justice and righteousness, especially for the poor. But Jesus, please help me as I run your race to bind my mind to the mind of Christ and to do things according to Your will.

My Old Neighbour's In Church Today

2007-10-07T23:36:00.000+10:00

= ) I'm so stoked Nicolas came to church today and said 'hi' to me in the foyer (f.y.i.- Nic's a neighbour when I stayed in Malaysia and played soccer with the boys in a nearby park). Plus meeting Ying Ying's new friend and having dinner with Veronica, Ben, Adrian and the rest was a blast.

Ps. Russell preached an amazing message from Eph 6:3 on the need to have God's wisdom and revelation, hearing from God and seeing things through God's viewpoint. Seeing Him rich, powerful, mighty, majestic and pure.

It's probably late to say this but: Happy Belated Birthday Andrew (my bro) and Chloe! It's so great to have you in my life. Also that I love it when Daniel Koh was prayed for last Sunday, my family and the whole PlanetUni team!

Friendster (318 Friends)

2007-10-07T00:55:00.000+10:00

Wow, I've got like 318 friends who added me on friendster. It's so humbling. I so appreciate all the adds. Thanks! = )

Chasing Shadows

2007-10-07T00:27:00.000+10:00

Shadows: Money, fame, popularity... all shadows.
Gotta focus on Jesus and have priority on what He has priority on: lost souls, knowing Him and loving people.

God help me.

I Need New Revelation and Anointing For Today

2007-10-01T01:18:00.000+10:00

"Man shall not live on bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of my Father (revelation, anointing, presence, plan, task, power, presence, purpose)." (Matt)

"The Hour of Power" is so important. Vital that we build, worship and hear from God day to day. Jesus got up early in the morning to pray.

How Exciting (30 Sept)

2007-10-01T01:14:00.000+10:00

Today when Ps. Russell got Daniel to come up and have Ps. Henry, Ps. Matt and himself praying for him, saying the Holy Spirit told him he had an anointing for leadership, worship leading and breakthrough in my heart I was praying for him. Go Daniel! God's anointing and presence be with ya! : )

Life - On Purpose

2007-10-01T00:24:00.000+10:00

What am I going to do today?
What do you have planned for me today, Lord?
To know You more, to love people more
To plan for the years
And spend the time building with You guiding

How do you do this?
Only You give understanding
To build a house made of gold and precious stones
That when the fire comes, it's tested and rated 'Excellent'

(1 Corinthians 3:10-14)
10By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. 11For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. 14If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. 15If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.

Song for My Saviour

2007-10-01T00:22:00.001+10:00

Sitting on my couch today
Thinking about your love again
God I love you so
A thousand songs will only do
To say how much you love me and I love you

Of your never ending love
Of your sweet, sweet love
Oh Jesus how you love pours out over me

Taking my pen today
To write a new love note for you everyday

The Soul Has No Colour

2007-09-29T07:49:00.000+10:00

The issue of racism or to be more honest 'the love for multicultural people living together' has not been more touching my heart than usual. Church is a great place where people are treated as God's kids, the appreciated and valued part of the body of Christ.

Sunday Was A Historically Defining Moment

2007-09-24T02:59:00.000+10:00

Pat Schazline spoke about the place called 'Paradise'. The atmosphere was explosive. We brought a new friend to church (Carina) and I had time to post all the messages, 'thank you's and read my mail.

Post [22 Sept 2007]

2007-09-24T02:18:00.004+10:00

I'm overwhelmed by the wishes, greetings, "Happy Belated Birthday" wishes, prayers, dinners and gifts. I'm very humbled that people will take time and make the effort to wish me. You friends are gold.

How did I spend my birthday?
Alice, Siyan, Kwan Chian, Priscilla, Kah Wei, Yu Yee, Samantha, Vincent, Jojo, Hau Wei, Adrian and I headed to Flemington for the Royal Melbourne Show! There were exciting rides, a guy riding a bull, chicks hatching, pig racing (no kidding), food, pig diving (really not kidding) and a beautiful atmosphere. I really enjoyed it.

We then wished a good trip to Priscilla and Siyan at Southern Cross Station (Priscilla was heading to Perth for the week to be with her family. Siyan was accampanying her to the airport). "Adios and have a great week."

Lazer Wars in Box Hill was our next stop. The guys (Raymond, Jinn, Robin, Moses, another guy) and Jennifer joined us for a very electrifying and competitive, fun game. We then went to No. 1 Cafe where they had really great, interesting dishes and Raymond presented a home-baked sticky-date cake for Samantha and I(we share the same birthday). It was a delicious with lots of flavours. Raymond presented me with a present (the book entitled 'Right Place, Right Poeple, Right Time -discerning the voice of God in your life' by Ps. Jentezen Franklin). I was blown away. The content of the book cannot be more timely. Ray, you're awesome, a great friend and golden. I really appreciate everyone treating me for the dinner too. 'A huge "Thank You"'! : )

Thanks for the greetings (Jono, Hau Wei, Adrian, Lydia, Esther, Jane, Valerie, Jocelyn, Abby, Iris, Pris, Siyan, Alice, Jinn, Moses, Robin, the people from PlanetUni and Ocf). Thanks for the birthday sms-es (Jocelyn and Calvin). Calls from Dad, Mum and Ko (my lovely fmaily). Lots of message posts by lots of friends on Friendster and Facebook and to God, for providing great friends in my life and for giving me everything that I need. All glory to God! Praise God! Praise Him! = )

The Post That Has Been Longing to Be Uploaded

2007-09-24T02:03:00.000+10:00

(Sept 21)
A huge big thank you for all the people, prayers and excellent servants for the explosive night, "What Is" PlanetUni. For Pastor Matt's inspirational vision and God's amazing, electrifying presence. It was a historical night that I'm still talking about and soaking in.

When God Thinks of Gifts - He Thinks of People

2007-09-20T00:17:00.001+10:00

I'd like to thank God for people in my life. For friends who take the effort to make you feel special. For parents who look out for my well being. Also for new friends,
the opportunity to love you.

Joke of the Day - Golf

2007-09-16T23:58:00.000+10:00

(from the-jokes.com)

"How was your game, dear?" asked Jack's wife Tracy.

"Well, I was hitting pretty well, but my eyesight's gotten so bad I couldn't see where the ball went," he answered.

"But you're 75 years old, Jack!" admonished his wife, "Why don't you take my brother Scott along?"

"But he's 85 and doesn't play golf anymore," protested Jack.

"But he's got perfect eyesight. He would watch the ball for you," Tracy pointed out.

The next day Jack teed off with Scott looking on. Jack swung and the ball disappeared down the middle of the fairway.

"Do you see it?" asked Jack.

"Yup," Scott answered.

"Well, where is it?" yelled Jack, peering off into the distance.

"I forgot."

Praising God

2007-09-16T23:46:00.000+10:00

Today I was a bit down on the fact that there were some unnecessary tackles in yesterday's soccer game. But during worship the Holy Spirit reminded me to gain perspective, "Hey, you got 34 people playing football yesterday and you were scoring like 8 goals. You should celebrate that." Yeah. Praise God.

Sunday...

2007-09-16T23:18:00.000+10:00

Wow... we had an interesting touch footie game today.

Wayne cooked for me and few others spaghetti bolognaise for lunch tomorrow. Thanks, Wayne. I feel the love. You're an awesome champ.

Got my eyes tested again for the spectacle shop to redo my glasses.

Church was at Melbourne Town Hall. I love the architecture, wall paintings, ceilings and the big organ behind. Ps. Henry and the rest looked extremely cool as usual. And we got over 19 people coming from our Urban Life today plus visitors. Yaay!

Dinner was great at Pacific House. We then adjourned to a place for pancakes. Very cool.

I'll be preparing for choir practice tomorrow night for 'What Is'. Sept 21 (333 Swanston Street).

God, thanks for today, sports, friends and lovely food. In the name of Jesus, Amen. = )

Facebook and Friendster Adds

2007-09-16T23:16:00.000+10:00

Wow, the overwhelming number of adds as a friend. I really appreciate the adds and friend requests. As Ps. Bobbie Houston says, "We never take lightly the people who would take the time to share and be part of our world". Thanks all and appreciate it.

Kingdom Purpose

2007-09-11T22:58:00.001+10:00

Today we learnt that until we find our purpose (why God made us), we won't be fulfilled.

Here's how to find our purpose:
#1. Seek God
#2. Use our gifts
#3. Do something. Do more.
#4. Wait for God to open doors. Ask, then seek, then knock.
#5. Don't get knocked around by the world's expectation:
a) married by when
b) kids by when
... believing lies like fame and money will make you fulfilled. Or looking for the 'big break'.

Actually, keep #6. Obeying God, Using what you have and diligently using your gift, waiting for God's timing for stuff like marriage or children. Recognizing that the whole body is not an eye or a foot and everyone is unique and has God's plan for their life.

Warning: Don't try to live God's plan for other people's life. Live in yours.
Don't compare your calling with someone else's. If God calls you to usher. He will judge you based on your ushering, not preaching.

#7. Listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Take risks, live on the edge and obey.

Joke. Got This From Ray's blog.

2007-09-10T00:16:00.000+10:00

Lately, some colleagues in the office has been circulating very random emails, most of them contain jokes... Actually, 2 cent jokes to be precise. Like this one:

Sid and Al are Jews and were sitting in a Chinese restaurant. "Sid," asked Al, "Are there any Jews in China?" "I don't know," Sid replied. "Why don't we ask the waiter?"

When the waiter came by, Al asked him, "Are there any Chinese Jews?" "I don't know sir, let me ask," the waiter replied, and he went into the kitchen. He returned in a few minutes and said, "No, sir. No Chinese Jews."

"Are you sure?" Al asked. "I will check again, sir." the waiter replied and went back to the kitchen. While he was still gone, Sid said, "I cannot believe there are no Jews in China, our people are scattered everywhere."

When the waiter returned he said, "Sir, no Chinese Jews."

Are you really sure?" Al asked again. "I cannot believe there are no Chinese Jews." "Sir, I asked everyone," the waiter replied exasperated. "We have orange Jews, prune Jews, tomato Jews and grape Jews, but no one ever heard of Chinese Jews! ! If you want, we have Chinese Tea.

O_o

-_-

.... *crows flies past screen* ....

So, yeah.... 2 cent jokes. I've heard a couple of them lately, like this one, from Hannah, one of my church friends, who actually heard it from her fiancee:

Which part of your body is the most truthful place?

...

Hips.

Why?

'Cause Hips Don't Lie.

- Hilarious.

Thought of the Day

2007-09-09T23:57:00.000+10:00

Matthew 18:24:

21Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?" 22Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.[f]

If I have to forgive my brother 77 times a day. That's 28105 times a year. That's enough forgiveness to keep my heart clean and heal the wound.

Use Words to Build

2007-09-09T23:38:00.000+10:00

Today I learnt the power of words and speaking God's word. Also to avoid gossip and negativity.

Men's discipleship was super. I'm so glad to have Ps. Matt as my pastor.

Church was awesome. It's great catching up with the guys, Hau Wei, Jon Raj, Billy and the boys.

Oh, the Korean food we had for dinner was awesome.

Post for 8 Sept 07

2007-09-09T23:30:00.000+10:00

Today was pretty amazing.

There was the great surprise celebration for Uncle Robert's 25 years of serving Jesus. A powerpoint show showing his days in Labuan and in Melbourne with Auntie Ruth. It taught me that servanthood requires longevity and willingness. Plus behind every great man is a praying wife who is an amazing support. Teamwork. Man, that spurred me to live years loving Jesus and loving people.

Dinner before movies was good. Vincent cooked a spectacular meal. Kudos to him.

I also went for a checkup for the contact lenses that I'm trying. Will try for one more week before I decide to order them.

For those who are reading this, OPSM (spectacle shop) double charged my credit card for $510 I spent to fix my glasses. I sent a message to NAB. Will definitely be getting to the bottom of this. People with credit cards, be careful.

Praise God 38 people turned up for soccer today. 35 people played. = ) How awesome. Lots of Planetshakers people and new people too. It was awesome.

If I'm organizing an event. Make sure I have invited enough people just in case some people pull out. It can happen.

When running an organization, make sure more than one person can do a task. So that in case someone resigns, gets sick or quits, someone else is capable and ready to take the load.

What I've Learnt from "True Relationships Panel"

2007-09-06T23:42:00.000+10:00

1. Always praise your future father and mother-in-law. Saying they are 'godly, mighty, anointed men of God'. = )
2. Get covering, parents, mentors, pastors friends who all share the same spirit about your relationship. Covering gives protection. Especially when the question is 'is this the one?'
3. Let off the pressure. Be friends. Do not gossip and let the pressure off staff members of the church to make friends before being scrutinized.
4. Purity is in the heart, spirit and body. You can be an adulteror in your heart while not committing sex outside. Treat ladies like sisters and younger men like brothers. Guard each other's purity.
5. Cannot call after 9:30pm? Just be realistic and act with wisdom.
6. Go out for movies, coffee, hip-hop aerobics, sports groups.
7. Don't put pressure and think you'll know the person you'll spend the rest of your life with in the first 2 minutes.
8. Mike Webber: fasted for 3 months. prayed for 3 weeks. To let God remove the things in his heart from hearing from God clearly.
9. Timing, when you say 'you're the one'. The person might not be ready.
10. 'Unequally yoked' means: you're not going in the same direction. either is not Christian. spritual level different.
11. You need to know God spoke to your heart that that person is the one when years go by and feelings go.
12. Don't discuss feelings or evoke them too early in the relationship. Just have fun and enjoy each other's company.
13. Respect and learn from men and women of God who model relationships that you want to build.

There Are Not Many Days Better Than This One.

2007-09-02T22:57:00.001+10:00

How awesome God is! Today we had a phenomenal discipleship followed by an amazing album recording at church (www.planetshakers.com). The presence and anointing of God was so strong during the worship (i could smell the fragrance of the presence of God on Saturday night). It was totally amazing. I'm in love with my God, my church, my family and life. : )

Dear God

2007-09-01T23:48:00.000+10:00

Help me to survive in a work place where mistakes are not tolerated.
To people who do not celebrate your success.
Keep me pure, walking in honesty,
And let excellence be my worship to you.

Few Things I Have Planned

2007-08-31T23:06:00.000+10:00

I want to go to the Dream Center in L.A. for a week when I'm 25 (2 years from now on the week before Hillsong Conference). Will start saving.

I want to go to South Africa hopefully helping out in a Planetshakers Conference there.

In This Time

2007-08-31T23:03:00.000+10:00

I've decided to be more vulnerable in my blog. Hopefully people will know what's going on inside and can pray or give great input (like my family). I've decided to spend part of my 30 minutes a night while i brush my teeth, change, reflect, call, pray and get ready to sleep to blog a little. So this will be during 10:30pm -ish.

Timing

2007-08-26T03:33:00.001+10:00

Like a tick on the metronome
Life moves along like a song
Sometimes high sometimes monotonous
God help me to count the ticking
Knowing what to say and do

Organization is the key to Success

2007-08-21T22:02:00.001+10:00

Why is Life Great When Relationships Are Great?

2007-08-21T20:32:00.003+10:00

Probably we're doing the 'loving God, loving people' right. = )

Success - what is it?

2007-08-21T20:24:00.000+10:00

Success, what is it? It is the achievement of a goal set.

Prosperity? The increase of quality and quantity of the beneficial (blessing, good stuff) in your life. This can be friends and trials (believe it or not).

I believe that the most important thing is the wisdom or lesson that is obtained.

And one of the wisest man in the world puts it like this:

"13 Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the whole duty of man.

14 For God will bring every deed into judgment,
including every hidden thing,
whether it is good or evil."

Dear God,

Help me to live righteously loving You and loving people every single day. I ask and believe and receive wisdom from you, Lord.

From the hungry, humble heart.

the power of a pebble.

2007-08-21T19:55:00.000+10:00

someone once said life is like a house. a great mansion will reflect a great life while a straw shack a wasted one.

building great lives requires me to build on something every single day. every day a pebble (action, thought, prayer, gift, deed).

so i will treasure the pebble and not look down on it. nor will i look at other people's mansions and think i want to achieve it very fast when they took 7 to 30 years to get it. Rather i should learn from their experience, methods, insight, prayers and avoid their pitfalls.

The person i'm going to learn today is from King Solomon and Bishop T.D. Jakes. Also Ps. Henry Seeley and Pastor Matt. Obviously from family and friends i have learnt a lot and thanks a million for who have input into my life.

Man I'm blessed to be able to live in the same time as all you people. : )

Long Time No Blog

2007-07-24T23:16:00.000+10:00

I have to say, I'm living in the best house in the world.
My housemates are great (Robin, Moses and Jinn), the bedroom is cool (like the bedroom of dreams) and we're staying so close to friends: Priscilla, Siyan, Kwan Chian, Kah Wei, Alice, Jessica, Ying Ying.

Praise God.

Father's Day

2007-06-17T22:32:00.000+10:00

This is a day to appreciate all the fathers around the world. Thanks dad, for being there. For praying for me. For being a great father, husband, role model, son and friend. "One generation shall declare His praises to another". : )
Rock on.

Moving to Glen Huntley

2007-06-10T23:09:00.001+10:00

Praise God, I'm moving to Grange Road, Glen Huntley.

It's gonna be with Moses, Robin and Jinn. = )

Emotional Day

2007-05-20T00:35:00.000+10:00

As of today I am no longer in Malvern Mews. I have moved out.

Music

2007-05-07T23:53:00.000+10:00

Music is the expression of the heart where words are not enough.
The messages that ring in my head.
The love songs from a Saviour that warms my heart.
The triumphant sounds that reverberate till eternity.

Together - No One Left Behind

2007-05-07T23:10:00.000+10:00

In the world where everything's moving so fast. Family can be the place where swing in the parks, lying on the grass and sipping lemonade can make the world seem to move slowly.

Fun, Laughter, Humour, Friendship

2007-05-07T23:06:00.000+10:00

(source: http://www.kidtips101.org/buddies.jpg)

I believe fun, laughter and relaxation should be the pivot point of families. Place where we can relax, not be so self-conscious and just have a good time.

Family

2007-05-07T23:00:00.000+10:00

Reading the words of Mother Theresa, "“I think today the world is upside down, and is suffering so much because there is so very little love in the home, and in family life. We have no time for our children, we have no time for each other, there is no time to enjoy each other.”

and

“The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved.”

... hence my study from the Bible will begin on how family should be like.

Stay tuned.

Called, Equipped, Loved, Protected

2007-03-04T13:47:00.000+11:00

Last night's leader's retreat was a night of overflowing anointing, recommitment to each other and the vision, thankfulness and appreciation and a night where mindsets and low self-image was broken.

Now I can say, I am a child of God, I am loved by God. I am called to overflow and lead people to worship God. I am called to take people on a journey to high places where they have never been before.

Thanks Ps. Matt, Lisa, Emily, Izzie, Scott, Pei Jet, Ee Lin, Sharene, Brodie, Lydia, Hau Wei, Jon Raj, Peggen, Daniel, Jolyn, Tjokro, Iris, Trili, Juni, Jono Lim, Jono Ong, Silas, Billy, Christine, Sarah, Dave, Wayne, Maureen, Andrew, Tuck Wee, Jane, Felicia, Timothy, Denise, Cynthia, Bonnie, Ai Jet, James, Emalyne, Esther, Stephanie and obviously God for showing up, changing our lives!

Fabulous Interview by Dr. James Dobson

2007-02-15T23:21:00.000+11:00

There's this amazing interview by Dr. James Dobson, another great guy and this author Shaunti Feldhahn and her husband Jeff. They wrote this book called 'For Men Only - How Women Think'. I thought it was so amazing.

If you want to listen to it, it's available on iTunes podcast under the Religious & Spirituality section. The podcast title is 'Focus on the Family'. The title of the podcast is 'What Men Need to Know About Women'. It's an amazing conversation starter or discussion.

I was asked what guys think are attractive about women. I believe generally the few things that guys like about women are...

How they:
1. Look
2. Speak
3. Whether they are friendly
4. Treat others. Like giving to the poor. Sing well. Sporty. etc.

Personally, I'd love a woman who is really into God. Beautiful, cooks awesome, loves sport like basketball and someone who has fun going out with other guy and girl friends. Caution: not possessive (like always thinking 'is he having an affair?'). Big plus is someone who can have a laugh once in a while.

Whoa... I just put my 'want list' on my blog. I guess when you say what you want you get what you want. = )

Do post carefully worded feedback on what you think.

A Wise Person Once Said

"One of the ways God shows us love in this life is by relationships around us."

Highly recommended [get it from iTunes]. : )

Hillary Clinton Running for President

2007-01-22T02:22:00.000+11:00

I've never been very interested in politics. But because of news about Australian troops in Iraq, terrorism, world war, greenhouse gasses and poverty, I'm very interested now in a lady who is running to be the next U.S. president.

Whoever becomes the next U.S. president, God help us all.
