basketball WAS my life

Wednesday, October 29, 2008

hello hello hello! haha. :) i had a good day today! woke up at 2.30pm and went to devils to play basketball with rachel and heeleng, it was fun. I have not been playing basketball for very long, but i am so glad to see that i am still so good. WAHAHAHAHAHA! miss those days that i play basketball with all my friends at woodlands 369, we just play like nobody's business. miss those fun moments we had together during training, running to the twelve storey and run down again, chiong 3on3 for the whole day. haha. and one thing i will never forget is the stupid converse 3on3 06, we were so naive that we even thought we can win that tourament, in the end king kong, zi ang and me get owned during first round. even until now when we go bugis, we will still feel like burning the whole place up. converse 3on3 07 was bad too, this time is at tampines mall rooftop, so first match, rui jian, zi ang and me lose again, i am the only one who scored in the whole team, and i am so proud to say that i scored 2 ball! yeah! that is 4 points! haha. after that experience, we never join any 3on3 tourament again, the people there are crazy. haha. i still remember that time everybody in 369 keep calling me monkey because i am super skinny that time, then one of my favourite move is hook shot, but they say i look like throwing banana, so they call it banana shot. haha. so funny. :D

okay, let's talk about something serious. don't ever despise your birthright, don't ever sell it. long time ago, i sold my birthright away to basketball. i leave God because of something that He created for us to enjoy on this earth, that is the most dumb thing ever, and now i really regret it. during that period when i backslide, i just feel that something is missing in my life, and when i come back again then i knew, it is God. God must be the most important thing in your life, don't ever leave Him. whatever happen, just trust Him, don't ever sell your birthright!

haha. yeah. let me post a picture that i photoshop just now. haha. :)

faithful

Monday, October 27, 2008

it's time for me to update my blog! it is dying. haha. this week is a fruitful week, i did many things which make me really happy! thursday i had a great CG meeting, when we are there worshiping God, i can clearly feel the presence of God, it is so good to just dwell into His presence and worship Him, i love His presence. jianming preached a great sermon call R.A.C.E. which means relationship, atmosphere, culture and evangelism. if you are a new friend, will you stay in B1? we analyse our CG and ask ourself frankly if our CG is able to get the new friends saved. it is great, i believe that the harvest is going to come. :)

friday was great, had guitar lesson with noni together with chenfei. i am really happy to see that i improved to much, now i am able to play one whole song. i will continue to work hard and one day i will be able to play for my CG. guitar is so fun and exciting! :) friday is also the first time that chenfei is playing for his CG, that is so cool! they said that chenfei did a great job. haha. cool! after my guitar lesson, i went to eat dinner with esther, jiaxin, yilin and another girl( i don't know how to spell her name. sorry! haha), had a great time with them, zone F is so funny. haha. and their lame jokes are really lame. jiaxin's face was so funny through out the lame joke session. esther heng was laughing non-stop, really cannot stop! she even have to walk around the kopitiam to stop herself from laughing. aiyo. haha. :) funny sia. oh ya, i bought subway meal for esther, ahhh~ i will not lose again! i am going to win it back! watch out esther heng wang shi! after that i went to eat dinner(again) with B10 and went serena's house to celebrate her birthday. it is fun to hang out with B10. haha. then took train together with weiling and had a great chat with her. yeah. :) oh ya. i found another good friend that night. hahaha.

saturday is so cool and fun, i went to church at 9.30 to take photo for usher ministry website. so i have to take photo together with yilin, and my dear eric is the photographer. the whole session was fun, we are laughing non stop. so we managed to took quite some nice photos. haha. and we took a flying picture at the end of the session. yeah. quite fun. haha. :) after that i had lunch with eric and nicholas, then went home for a nap and went church for service at 5pm. the service was great, it is beyond greatness. pastor aries is such a powerful preacher, i love the way he preach. his sermon was so powerful, how to move from good to great in life. this is cool! if you didn't hear the sermon, you MUST buy the sermon CD. YOU MUST! God says in the bible that He want us to be great and not just good. we need to work on 3 things to be great in life, spirit, body and soul. for our spirit, we must pray specifically to receive rhema word and revelation from God. for our body, we have to do beliberate practice over the things that God had shown us. same activity but different mindset! and for our soul, we need to have a servant's attitude. in Matthew 20:26" Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. 27 And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." if we want to be great in life, we must be a servant! apostle andrew's story really touch my heart, in John 1:40-42, when he introduce his brother simon to Jesus, Jesus give simon a new name, peter, which means stone. andrew was not jealous, in fact he knew that he will never be a close disciple to Jesus, he knew from that day that his brother peter will be a great man serving Jesus, even though he knew Jesus earlier, he is not envy about what his brother get. andrew just faithfully serving behind the scene. he is just there serving Jesus, serving God, building the Kingdom. andrew is truely a man of great faith, andrew remind me of something that Jesus said in Matthew 6:1 "Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2 Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 3 But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly." true servanthood is serving with a pure motive behind the scene while nobody is watching. when we are faithful in the little things, God will trust us with big things.

sunday is a fruitful day! i am SO SO SO happy that heeleng and rachel came to church! i was so excited when i received their message in the morning! haha. :) garrett preached a great sermon! our God is a builder, and He chooses the right people and puts them in the right place in the right time. and we are the right people that God had chosen and heart of God church is the right place! we are in the right CG, right ministry and even right school! and He also put us in the right time that our church is 1000, when our church break through 3000 even 10000, we are going to be the one to lead them. don't miss out your destiny! don't despise your birthright! yeah!

okay. now let me talk about today. haha. basically, i slept from 4am to 6pm, that is like 14hours. hahahahahahaha! :) now i am fully recharge! yeah yeah. haha! okay. that's all! see ya soon! :)

life is simple

Tuesday, October 21, 2008

hello! haha. :) life is good because life is simple! i feel really good this few days because the stress is gone! exams are over and i am able to promote to sec4 express. cool cool! :) i feel so good and comfortable to just hang out with friends and do all the crap things together. we love life. love people. love God! God is great because He take care of every single thing in our life. God is amazing because He is always there whenever we need Him. haha. last week's sermon was cool! charleston is so powerful and amazing! he preach about leadership. everything rises and falls on leadership. that is so true! a leader bears the burden. a leader fears God. a leader is dedicated & committed. i will work towards that. :)

today i went to jianming's house to sit in for jiaxian's follow-up, it was cool. and we spend some time changing my guitar string, i was quite nervous as it was the first time for me to change my guitar string. everything was alright when jianming is helping me to change them. but when i try to do it on my own, i accidentally broke the E string. =.= okay... so i have to go to the guitar shop tomorrow and buy guitar string... so stupid...

hahahahahaha~ yeah yeah! okay! that's all. haha. :) see ya!

updates

Sunday, October 19, 2008

hello everyone! yeah. i am back to update my blog. hahaha. :) these few days was quite scary, because i am nearly going to retain! my result was not good enough to promote me to sec4 express, and if i retain, i am going to get one really serious punishment, some people may know what i am talking about. but luckily, i pass my moderation marginally as my past results was quite good. haha. :) so i am able to promote to sec4 express! yeah~ but it was quite a scary experience, i am going to study hard next year so that i am able to do well for my o level. during this tough period, many people encouraged me, just want to say a big big thank you to every single one. haha. :D i am really happy that i am able to promote. i promise that i will not get into this kind of situation again...

today's service was about the bank of God, it is a really cool sermon. many people think that God is the bank and we are the customer, but the fact is, we are the banks and God is the one depositing the money! haha. we must give to God, because that is His money, and not ours. haha. :)

yea.. i am quite tired now, i got to save energy for tomorrow! tomorrow is going to be great! CHARLESTON IS PREACHING TOMORROW! yeah. when charleston become a pastor in the future, i can tell the new friend that, "i was here when charleston first preach!" haha. so cool! i believe that many people will get save tomorrow! yeah! wahahahaha! :D okay! good night everybody! :)

anyway, just want to wish good luck for all the o level students and a level students! study hard and do well for your examinations! especially weile! you have my chocolate cookies to encourage you, better do well! hahahaha. yeah yeah~ JIAYOU JIAYOU JIAYOU! WAHAHAHA!

Psalm 23
A Psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

All the days

of my life;

And I will dwell in the house of the LORD

Forever.

Deuteronomy 31:6
6 Be strong and of good courage,
do not fear nor be afraid of them;
for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you.
He will not leave you nor forsake you.

Sunday, October 05, 2008

YOUR WORD IN MY LIFE
IS A LAMP ONTO MY FEET
AND YOUR LOVE
SHINING BRIGHTER DEEP INTO MY HEART
YOUR TRUTH IN MY LIFE
BRINGS ME CLOSER TO YOUR STRENGTH
I WILL GIVE YOU PRAISE
WITH ALL OF MY HEART I WILL SING
AND I WILL FLY
HIGH ABOVE THE CLOUDS
RIDING THE SKY
LIFTING YOUR GLORY
LET ALL THE EARTH
WATCH US LIVE IN LOVE
PRAISING YOUR NAME
AND FLY ALONG WITH YOU
AND YOUR WAYS
ALWAYS HIGHER THAN ALL MY WAYS
AND YOUR PLAN
RISES HIGH ABOVE ALL MY PLAN
AND YOUR TRUTH SET ME FREE
FROM ALL OF MY CHAINS
LET ME WALK WITHIN YOUR TRUTH
LET ME FLY ALONG WITH YOU

i love this praise song, make me really feel like flying. haha. i love being a christian, because we are free! we can enjoy all the freedom because God had break the chains and set us free. our life is filled with God's love, and i enjoy it. i am someone who love freedom, that is why i love basketball, because i feel free when i am jumping around. but the ultimate freedom is from God. only He can give you the true freedom. many people in the world are lock up by chains in their hearts. even though you might think that your life is perfect, but without Jesus, we can never be perfect in our lives. i used to live a very meaningless life, i do not have a purpose, i just live for the sake of living. but now then i know, i have a purpose in life, God have a specific plan for every single one. you just have to response and God will set you free. haha. :) so join me and fly high above the clouds!

facing the giants

Thursday, October 02, 2008

CURRENTLY IM IN A VERY GOOD MOOD. Haha. happy snoopy? my good friend say i very long time never update le, so i am here to update my blog. i went for staff&leaders prayer meeting with OCK and weile just now, it was really cool. all of us just keep on praying and i can feel that the presence of God there is so strong, we are ready for 1400. :) it was great to just go for staff&leaders meeting everyweek to keep our spirit refreshed in the presence of God, especially during exam period! haha. i simply love the presence of God. when we are praying in small groups, OCK, zhiyi and me prayed together. it was great, 3 of us just give our best and keep on praying, after that, i can feel faith arise in my heart, we believe that B zone will hit 120 by the end of this year.

school was really boring today, i regret going to school, i slept for the whole day. i even dream about something, that shows how boring the lessons are. normally i will just doze off, but today i totally fall asleep. haha. alot of people pon school today! peiwei, kaiting and sean! aiyo.. bad sia. hahahaha. i was suaning sammie through out the whole day, it was fun. haha. :) i am in the season of reading alot of christian books. here are some of the books i am reading now. haha. cool! :)

it is really cool to read books, you can alot of things through them. heaven is so real had really taught me how to be an obedient child of God to serve Him.

i watch the movie call "facing the giants" yesterday, it was a great movie! it is really inspiring. In his six years of coaching, Grant Taylor has never had a winning season. Even the hope of a new season is squelched when the best player on his Shiloh Eagles decides to transfer schools. After losing their first three games of the season, the coach discovers a group of fathers are plotting to have him fired. Combined with pressures at home, Coach Taylor has lost hope in his battle against fear and failure. However, an unexpected challenge helps him find a purpose bigger than just victories. Daring to trust God to do the impossible, Coach Taylor and the Eagles discover how faith plays out on the field… and off. With God, all things are possible. after trusting God and love Him with all their heart, the team won the championship against a team that seem to be a giant to them. what coach taylor said in the movie is cool. "when we win, praise Him. when we lose, praise Him. do not be afraid, because God is with us." so trust God with all your heart, He is going to help you.
