All I want for the new year is....

Rest. Good time to rest.

The month of Dec and year 2009 is coming to it's last day and I am still exhausted. Other than recovering for the previous busy schedule we are having our family chalet. Amos teething leading him to high fever and discomfort made both Eve and myself super tired.

The fever has gone but last night was no easy night. He kept crying on and off and finally slept peacefully only at around 6am. How I wish he can sleep peacefully like how he did this morning before I went to work. Pray that he will recover soon.

I will miss 2009 cause I am thankful to the Lord that I have learnt a lot and come to realise many things also.

Pray that next year will be just as eventful if not more fulfilling.

Praise the Lord for everything.

Life is worth celebrating

Sometime I can easily forget to be grateful towatrds God for how He has bless my life.

Was just reading Grace's latest entry and it led me to another person's blog on how she have survive a plan crash and how she live her life with thankfulness, the many activities and celebration in life.

One thing I am gonna to do next year is to be really thankful to the Lord. Looking back this year I can say I am not really living my life that pleases the Big One because there are times that I should be grateful yet I became very negative.

Looking forward to celebrate every precious moment with my loved ones in the new year and see how it goes from there.

All in all thank God for Jesus. Pray that all of us will live our lives to the fullest.

Live a life of joy and celebration for the day is near. Life is worth celebrating, praise the Lord.

The people I missed on 13 Dec 2009

Missed the Christmas gathering this year at Wilson's place due to the camp.

Hope to meet them sometime soon. Looks like the group is growing every time we meet man.


Happy without me.

Simply exhausted

Think for the first time I am really exhausted in the month of December. Mainly because of the Combined Camp, various campaigns, weekend talks and also parenting (which is the best of all things!!) thus there are a number of events that I find it hard to pen down (like my Stand Chat run, the BASIC Camp and many other things).

Am I not using my time fully last year that's why I can blog so much? I can't say for certain but I am grateful that I am able to use my time to do the things I have done, especially the last few months.

Thou I am not able to take block leave due to a number of admin work need to be done in office, but I am thankful for the holidays and the 1,2 days leave I am able to take.

Did I mentioned that I will be missing the Year End Dinner due to the year end deployment? Gonna miss the Year End Dinner but thank God that almost all the seats are filled up.

Not sure if I have ever mentioned but one thing I missed the most is the bible studies. I still struggle to set time regularly to read God's word and it is always during this period that I fail my wife in many areas.

Pray that God will keep watch over us, that we are regular in praying and reading His word constantly, as we continue to live our lives for Him in the new year.

Congrats Melvin

Attended my Army friend's wedding last night. The food was okay, the parking was limited (have to park else where) and the service was only so so but what makes it an enjoyable wan was the company.

Though the rest of the guys are not from my platoon but really enjoyed their company. It's been a long time that I am able to chat with almost everyone and laugh over almost every conversation (which is why I stayed until 11pm).

Pray that there will be chance to share Christ in the future.

Making Your Life Count

Praise the Lord for the youths that turn out for the camp to hear God's word.

Praise the Lord for the church members that step up to teach the living word to the campers.

Praise the Lord for the officers' tireless effort in reaching out to the youths.

Praise the Lord for the many others who have play a role in making this camp possible.

Pray that all of us will make our life count for the Lord in the many years to come.

First day of BGB Combined Camp 2009

Everything is set but just that I can't be there today because got a campaign to run (please don't drink and drive).

Looking forward to the end of the day liao....

Mother Blogging

Cannot believe. My friend, mother of five got blog site. Am wondering how is she gonna do it when she don't even know how to operate a DVD player...

God never change

Been handling a number of things and many events going on in the last few weeks like campaigns lah, camp planning lah, Amos falling sick and Evelyn's little discomfort due to our little girl.

As much as I want to be a good witness but there are still times that I find myself not up to the mark. But I can take heart that one thing that never change, God.

Praise the Lord for His word which is the light to guide our way.

Feeling lousy lately? Or simply frustrated with things around you lately? Try asking God for help, thru prayer and reading of His word, and He will surely help.

Peace to all who trust in Jesus Christ.

Also thank God for bringing our brothers and sisters safely back from the Israel trip.

Informed or reformed

What is the point of being informed and not reformed?

We can also look right or give people the right impression but in the end, the One will know which form we take.

Are you informed or reformed?

16 days to Combined Camp

Pray that all the admin work can be settled by this weekend. The best thing is I still got another campaign to handle but at least I am not heading it this time, really thank God for that.

Now time to get some sleep. Hope that I wouldn't be late later.

Promises of life

"He told me last week that we will be going to ----- on this week but he can't fulfill this promise anymore..."

This statement is from lady who lost her husband due to a sudden heart attack during a wake yesterday.

It promotes me to think how wonderful promises are when they are fulfilled and how sad it can be when it doesn't.

I can't help but wonder if my sun was to set one day, how would my loved ones react to my unfulfilled promises.



We are able to keep our promises because of one such person who never break His promises. When our promises can't be fulfill under such circumstances, let it be known that we can always take comfort from our Lord.

Whether I am to leave early or I am to stay a little longer than you, and I pray to return later for your sake, be assured that our great promise will never change. And that's the only promise that matters.

Back to normal mode

Thank God that the APEC is over. Now trying to fit back into my normal schedule.

Thankful that I am able to spend my off day with Evelyn yesterday.

Are you burn out?

I think people nowadays are very concern how they should not burn themselves out and be selective in the things they do.

I myself is concern about this issue because many times I ask myself am I doing too much, do I need more rest and not do other things? Work is something that most of us love to hate and many of us at times are left with no choice but to sacrifice our time for work. Of course we need to work for if we say no to work, how are we gonna feed ourselves/ our family?

People can easily fall into the trap of putting work first on top of many things, including their relationship. One should know that it is only right for one to work so that he or she can provide for their family and their own daily needs. One should find the right balance in life.



We can get burn out by focusing too much on work and indirectly, and at times unknown to us, we are rule over by our work. One needs to see that the one who rules our lives is non other than Jesus.

One should always put Jesus first in their heart and all other things will fall into place.

If Jesus is first, we can trust Him to lift our burdens.
If Jesus is first, we will not let work be the king of our lives rather to learn to be content in our job.
If Jesus is first, we can joyfully use our time for His sake and not for ourselves.
If Jesus is first, we will truly be able to love our loved ones wholeheartedly without any complains.
If Jesus is first, we don't have to worry about burn outs for He will surely take care of those who seeks Him.

May God be glorified in the decisions we make in our lives.

APEC 1st day

Well, today is the first day I am deployed for the APEC. Quite enjoy the work but the only problem is that it ends late. Meaning if I can't make it for the last bus I will have to take a taxi back home.

Today I just managed to take the last bus home, praise the Lord!! Not so sure about tomorrow.

Looks like I will only be able to check my email and maybe blog at these late hours for the next few days.

Pray that the APEC will go on smoothly and also something more important to pray for, the BGB Combined Camp. It's happening next month.

Thank God for Evelyn, Paul, Xiuling, Danny, Matthew, John and the Captains support so far. Pray that everything will fall into place.

Is he talking?

According to Evelyn, Amos is starting to learn to talk now.

Wonder what will be his first word.....

Are you a good shepherd?

Being a DG leader is not just about leading the bible study. We are to be the shepherd for God.

Providing love and care at a personal level is also important.

Skills and technique can be pick up along the way, what matters the most is the desire to guide the members towards living Godly lives.

Thank God for the DG Leaders' Retreat today, but it's a pity not all the leaders turn up.

Pray that God will give us the will and heart to do His will. Let not be afraid to go the extra mile for our members. All glory belongs to our Lord.

The good thing about time

The good thing about time is that you dun have to worry how it is going to past, it will just past by itself.

I was stress in handling the campaign last Sat and finally it's over. Praise the Lord.

It's the reading of God's word and prayer that God help me to pull thru those tough time. We are always very easy to fall into the trap to rely on our on strength to settle things when we forget that we are called to seek Him first in all we do.

Be it relationship, work, study or money we must always seek God first for our heavenly father knows what we need and surely Him will provide.

When in time of suffering, we should pray for God's help rather than wish for the time to fly past quickly. Time is in His hands.

Even when the road in front is dark His word is the light that will show us the path, maybe not the path we have intended but surely the path that's good.

In the Lord we trust. Seek Him first before you wander too far.

I am looking forward to Sunday.

How I wish I can jump to Sunday now. Too many things to handle for my event on Saturday. But I know the right thing to do is to trust in the Lord.

Pray that I will trust in Him and that what ever happens I will do to glorify Him.

Happy Birthday Daniel, the 30 man.

Yes. It's on the 24 Oct, last Sat. sorry for the late post because I have been busy lately.

From a little remark from Cherry that he will be the brother of Ang Cai's wedding to the big surprise birthday party for him at room 3270.

Praise the Lord for watching over Daniel and using him for the advancement of His kingdom.

Pray that Daniel will continue to walk closely with God for the rest of his . Looking forward to his 60th birthday liao.

Daniel's 30th Birthday Scrapbook

Don't turn away from those in need

The second half of the year have many ups and downs and to be frank, I am really overwhelmed. But I thank God that I am able to cast all my concerns and prayers to God.

Think it's human nature to avoid getting involved in problems of others cause we worried that they may take up too much of our time or it might be too heavy for us to bear.

The Lord commands us to love our neighbour. We must not be too worried to be there for others when they want us to help them. Our first instinct should always be to listen to them and commit their concerns and worries to the Lord through prayer. And whether we do something practically or to only offer them support through prayer, the Lord will guide us along the way.

The fear of committing too much or the pressure of helping others is something we should not have because we should never reject someone who is in need. Have we forgotten who saved us in our time of need? Don't be afraid if people want to look for you for help, for we know who is in control.

We will never know if we can fully help them but one thing for sure is every moment we spend with them is a chance to encourage, for fellow believers, to persevere in their faith in Christ or for them, non believers, to come to know our great God.

Simply be a witness and let God take care of the rest.

May the Lord watch over those who are burdened in their life that they may turn to the Lord for help.

Subject or Object

Don't be the subject of lust, for you will risk your relationship with God.

Don't be the object of lust, for you may cause others to stumble.

Flee from the object and don't tempt the subject.

Imitate God, for we are bought at high price, justified through our Lord Jesus.

Be holy, not worldly.

Are you going for Family Fellowship?

We are going. This Sunday, 18 Oct from 2 to 4pm at the City Beach Resort.

Are you coming??

19 Weeks and 2 days

19 weeks and 2 days. It's a girl.

Time to think of a name....

Worried about work but I have the Lord

As the campaign will be in 3 weeks time I am starting to worry as there are still a number of outstanding stuff need to be settled. I even have the thought to stay longer at work or even stay over night to do things.

Suddenly I am reminded as I was reading through a speech that I shouldn't worry for God is in control. Not saying that I am not going to do anything and wait for all the work to some how be done (actually if that can happen I dun mind) but I know myself that I didn't ask God for help as those thoughts ran through my mind.

I was thinking what I should do or how I can do more by my own strength but instead I should first pray to God for help.

I am thankful for Him that we have Him whose able to comfort, assure and provide us in ways unseen and at times unthinkable. Praise the Lord.

Pray that we will pray to our God in situations when we are tempted to worry and may he give us the wisdom and will to handle our matters. Do all things to glorify Him.

Praise be to our God.

Have a suffering friend?

I feel pain for those around me who are suffering and very much as I would like to help but sometimes in might not turn out to be the way I intended it to be.

There's a lot of things that I can do but at the sometime there's nothing much I can do also for I am just a man who have no control over things, even as much as I hope for things to turn out good.

All things are in God's hand and they happen for a purpose.

Pray for those who are suffering to continue to persevere in their faith in Jesus Christ and that God will use us to help them. Please don't give up on them.

12 long years.... Praise the Lord!!!

12 long years, that's how long it took for Roger to come to know the Lord.

Knew him in Poly and I can say we were both similar in our negative reaction when we heard God's word back then.

Didn't see him at a Poly friend's wedding dinner last Sat, which the bride happened to be TC's cousin, so I decided to ask how was him thru sms.

He replied this Morning and shared with me the good news.

Thank God for working in his life. Roger shared that one of his colleagues "watered the seeds planted by u ppl last time". Praise the Lord!!!

Never underestimate how God will work thru us to bring people to Him, whether thru our actions or prayers. He is able to turn the hardest heart around. Have faith in the Lord.

Pray that we will continue to be salt and light to the world and be witness for Christ.

Praise the Lord!!!

Amos speaks!!!!!!

"We got out of the car and have our passport checked. And little Amos sudden walked up to me and say 2 Chinese words!!!"

That was my dream last night.

Dun know why. Maybe the father think too much. Ha ha ha ha!!!!

All we need is God

Pray that we don't forget the great love of God for we can easily fall prey to the world's way of living and are in danger or drifting away.

I am ashamed of myself with things like not bringing my bible around when I go out shows how have I not ready think seriously about being ready to share God's word at all times. For there are some who long for God's word but have to wait for 30 years before they get one.

Pray for us not only to remember and say who our Lord is but also live everyday with the gratitude that we are saved by grace.

Be thankful, always. Praise the Lord!!!

What more can we ask?

It's always we who fail God. But His mercy and grace have given us hope.

Specially for you who have understood-ed and accepted the love of Christ, let not the worldly things bother you till your heart is downcast for you have already gotten the most precious gift anyone can ever give you.

What more can we ask? For we must instead ask how can we give to our Lord so that many may come to know Him.

Take comfort in His word if you are tired, for He will give you rest.

Rely on Him if you are lost for He will help you as long as you don't lean on your own understanding.

For He is the one who chooses us and take the step to rebuild what was destroyed by us.

Think of what is good, righteous and honourable that you may praise the Lord, always.

May God have mercy on people

You just can't get away from the fact that there's disasters happening around our region.

We might never know why but pray that in these times of sufferings, may people turn to the one true God that that will comfort and deliver them.

Make your life count

May the Lord be glorified through this ministry.

Getting tough at work?

When you feel that you are taken advantaged or treated unfairly at work, always look to the Lord first.

Ask Him for guidance and how to move forward. As long as it does not bring dishonour to our Lord in the things we do, God will surely guide you along the way even when we can't see any good out of it or how impossible it seems.

For our Lord, all things are possible.

Pray that we will not rely on our own strength and understanding but seek His help and wisdom in doing all things.

Hold dear to the most important things in life

God, family and my loved ones.

With another super busy October coming up, please forgive me if I dun blog as often as before (but you still can catch up with me as and when you can).

No matter what happens or how demanding life's gonna be, pray that my priority in life will not change.

Hold dear to God - Pray that I will always remember whose my king and how I should live under the king's rule.

Hold dear to family - Pray that God will help the 3 of us (and also our fourth one) to support and encourage each other to focus on God and live as a God pleasing family. You be amaze how much you can learn from someone who can't speak and one who can't goes out freely.

Hold dear to loved ones - Pray that be it our parents, siblings, BSC and others that I will always show Christ love to them that God may be glorified.

Let not the world's view miss lead you but face everyday is your last and that you will be confident to face the Lord without any shame. God please help us.

Seek Life's Purpose

Found these in my 26 June 2008 folder:

Live today as if you will stand before God tomorrow.

Pray that we will face everyday with this in mind.

I want to so God please help me.

I'm on ESPN Football Focus!!!!

Might not really me but my question got read out.

John say he know me but I think it might be another person that he is refering to.

Although it was fun . Ha ha!!!

Spending Good Time for Not Blogging

Blogging is a way for me and maybe my love ones to see how my lives had been and hopefully it may give them some memories.

While, been finding hard to blog recently cause am really tired the past few weeks. But one of the main thing that kept me from blogging is my time with Evelyn and Amos.

Most of my free time now is with them, thou Eve will say more is needed. Really thank God for the long weekend. Not much rest for me but I think sometime we have to see how we should best use our time and thank God for the great time with the 2 of them, and of course many others.

Pray that I will be recharged and ready to face the many challenges coming ahead.

Are you ready to climb the Mount?

Amos and the bucket

Amos loves bucket.








Evelyn got clearer shots.

Pray for a willing heart to serve the Lord

No matter how great the plan may be or how well equip a person may be, if he doesn't have the heart to serve it's useless.

Many times we ask how can we help other brothers and sisters to step up to serve for the sake of Christ and we may think of programmes and maybe courses. But in the end if the person dun respond to God's calling even he is the most talented person he is still useless.

Let's remember to pray for their hearts to be opened and burdened to serve God's great purpose for it is God, and not our effort, who will make the change in the person.

Commit them in your prayer. Trust in the Lord.

Amos and Me - Do we look alike?

Taken in May at IMM.

Wat say you?

Love is....

"Love is always giving and never asking for we have already receive the greatest love."

Have this thought after reading from aurora.

Pray, Commit and Trust in the Lord, Always.

Nothing is too big or tough in our lives that our God can't handle.

Always pray to the Lord for He is the one who answers prayers.

Always commit your ways to the Lord so that in all you do you will never be lost.

Always trust in Him for in Him we have hope

All praise be to our Lord.

Mother of 3

As I was taking LRT home just now I saw a mother of 3 taking the train with me.

The eldest daughter about 5, the 2nd son in the pram about 2 and another son around 6 months old in a sling.

I am impressed!!! Sadly I over heard that her husband is overseas.

Mothers are great!

Pray for strength and health for a 18 hrs Weekend Job

Just finished a Road Safety Campaign for Children on Friday, I stayed over and RSCP on Thursday night to secure the car park. And in a few hours time gonna be reporting for duty for a rehearsal for a major event coming in Nov.

Will be scheduled to work from 8AM to around 2AM on Saturday. Pray for strength as it's no joke to be on the road for so long. Not sure how are they going to plan out our rest time.

Now I am already looking forward to going for Sunday service. See you then.

Amos Studio Shots in May

As per promised during the DG Leaders' meeting earlier, here's the Amos Studio Shots taken in May, thanks to Cherry as she invited us to join Le Le for the studio shots















This is my favourite.

Amos thinking:"How come mummy's head looks different?"

Joy in the Lord - DG Leaders' Prayer Meeting

Cherry cooked.


Helping ourselves.


Relaxing one corner


Thankful for the dinner.


Praise the Lord for the fellowship.

After a long day's work, we are able to come together to follow up and encourage one another after the Philippians study.

Thou we were all tired, we are very thankful that we find joy in gathering as God's servants to share our lives and pray for one another.

Too bad Daniel wasn't around. But Eve and Amos did pop by in the end.

Can't wait for WorldPath to start next week.

Do all things in the love of God

Went for a talk last night at BB HQ titled:"The Challenge of Buddhism & Christianity - A Christian Appreciation of Buddhism".

For us as Christians when we meet people of other faiths we either become proud of our faith or we become too shy about speaking out. This talk shows me in the case of Buddhism we can come to appreciate some of the teaching Buddha taught during his life time. He was a wise man in terms of practical living which we as Christians can also learn but of course not all of Buddha's teaching we should agree and practice.

One of the things many people do not know is that since the time when Buddha died Buddhism had evolved into many versions. Although there are some nations that are still practicing the original teaching of Buddha, according to the speaker, but the main Buddhism that we know today is actually much more evolve and the speaker mentioned if Buddha were to be a life now he will be in for a shock to see the Buddhism that most people are practicing today.

The speaker mentioned this at the end of his talk:"Let Buddha be Buddha and let Christ be Christ" And he also say something along this line:"It is one thing to claim to know the way and other to claim to be the way."

In short, I am reminded we who have faith in the truth of God should approach all things in the love of God. It is God who chooses who to be saved and all we are called to do is witness. Witness to others in the love of Christ, not to proof that our God is better but to speak to them about the truth of God.

Raj and Nikki's Big day

It happening on 9 January 2010. Just RSVP, not sure if I am the 1st to do so.

Thank God for watching over them. Can't wait for the day to come.


One of their wedding shots taken from their wedding site. Maybe on that day I will wear green too.

"You are Christian full time. Get out of the world when the time is up."

OT is a norm nowadays but the thing is people should not always be doing overtime. Of course there will be times where you really need to but in the end it's really a wisdom issue.

Was chatting with cake today and suddenly I came out with this:

"You are Christian full time. Get out of the world when the time is up."

It's so funny that on one hand we dun want to be controlled by the world but on the other maybe it is us that refuse to give time to God.

God should be the only one we deserve our OT, not the world.

Pray that our mindset will change. Pray for good time management.

Boys' Brigade Night Cycling on 5 Sept

It is happening this Saturday. If you are keen please come forward to support.

Look for Albert Wong if not can call me also.

Look wrong

I left house early today and managed to reach office on time. But something happen while I am on the bus.

Was listening to the podcast on a sermon and one of the things mentioned is "You can do right and look wrong". Remember that?

As I hop onto the bus I was thinking "well, not bad. today I can be on time at work." Then as I was in half stoning mode and mainly listening to the sermon, the bus captain suddenly said "hello!" to me. As I looked at him, I suddenly realised that I forgot to tap my EZlink card!!!!

I quickly apologised and tap my card. I have no intention to cheat the bus fare but I am certain because of the stoning and listening to the sermon I some how forgot to pay the fare.

Look wrong, ya I can kind of understand.

Evelyn's plate was full on Sunday

This morning as I was leaving for work I saw the blue bulletin on the piano, full of notes taken by Evelyn. My wife is one who can take notes during sermons (which I am not very good at).

It makes my day cause this is her way of being fed with God's word. Sometimes when going for service becomes such an ease that we forgot how we can be refreshed by listening to God's word.

To be at home the whole week is not something easy and being able to bring her out to breath God's word must has been refreshing for her. Praise the Lord

Pray for God to strengthen her day by day.

29th Year

Happy birthday my dear wife. Took leave today and brought her around. Had a great time.

Looking forward to grow old together.

Be Safe On The Road

The nature of my work requires me to promote road safety. It's very common that people take things lightly when it comes to driving, riding and crossing the road. Mainly people have the idea that as long as long as they don't get caught by police it should be okay and even if kena caught just pay the fine loh.

Most people dun realise that when one is not careful or becomes too complacent, he or she might not be able to face the consequences.

One of the NS boy from my work place was killed in a fatal road accident early this Morning. In short, please dun wait till when it's too late then one starts to regret and hopes that he or she can take a step back to start all over again.

Be responsible to not only yourselves but you love ones.

Be safe, stay alive.

Post PUNJ celebrates Evelyn's birthday

Some of the brothers and sisters from PP came today to celebrate Evelyn's birthday:



Thank you guys for coming.

Glad with the lack of time for myself

Suddenly I realise that time is something I dun have. This weekend been using it for Evelyn, worship, Sec friends' baby shower, football fellowship, my in-laws and most of it with Amos.

I am glad cause I am using my time to the fullest. Used to have the idea that I need time for myself but thank God as I grow older I see that I can still be joyful even when I have little time for myself, the best part of it is doing it with the joy of the Lord.

But having said that I still need to work out how to set time for DG and my parents. Pray that I can always spend my time joyfully, not for myself only but for others.

Watch your step....

One of the things that Evelyn and myself are concern is our inability to meet up with people when we are caught up with things happening to us, like the latest episode.

Are you walking rightly with God? We are always concern about our brother and sister in Christ that the world might pull them away from God. It's also thru these times that we are reminded and take comfort, thou we are still worry a bit, that God is in control.

So we pray that people in our prayer list will watch their steps and remember that God comes first above all things. Don't exchange the glory of God for something that don't last.

Wedding Marathon???

I am started to get excited all over again after one of my brother and sister are planning their wedding for next year.

Feels like just yesterday where everyone in the DG is getting married within 2 years and we change our roles and the wedding couples to bestman, brothers and many many others. (7 DG weddings in total!!! Haven't include my friends yet!!!)

Pray for God to provide them with the help needed for their wedding.

Am wondering will there be another wedding marathon coming along next year???

Amos 2 days short of 17 months

Taken on the 21 July, during COP.


How my boy has grown.

Wax in ear

Got MC yesterday. Sunday was hit on my right side of the head by Danny's shot during the football session. Evelyn told me to go for a check.

Esther say my ear should be fine but can see my ear drum course got wax in the ear.

No wonder my right ear doesn't seems to hear as clearly as my left.

Everything is fine!!!!

Been missing for quite awhile and some of you must be thinking hows everything. Well, Eve has been resting at home for quite a while and may have to rest more at home, but not sure yet.

We have been thinking how we can be more effective in our ministry so please pray for us to be wise and keep trusting in God.

Bible study has come to an end and really thank God for Raymond. Think he should be able to handle alone, haha.

Who gives and takes life

Happen to read about this report about a court giving approval for a person's request to die because he lost all body movement when he was hit by a car.

God gives us life and only He alone determines when a person will leave this physical world.

Man are always afraid of physical suffering and will always try means and ways to get out of the situation at all cost.

Only when one receive the grace of God than he will be truly delivered from suffering for there's something far worst than physical suffering that the world don't understand.

Pray that if we as God's people ever have such thoughts of taking our own life will always remember that whose in control of our lives and He will surely deliver us from our suffering, even though when we can't understand it at the point of time.

Dun be a candy

Saw today's ST front page on the ladies pick for the coming F1. Consider as eye candy, good-looking, sporty and articulate.

That's how our world teaches our ladies how they can glorify themselves. How sad it is that unknowly they are degrading their bodies and in turn feeding the desires of others.

Pray that people will come to know God and use their lives and bodies to glorify God.

What will you defend?

A question to the nation for this year's NDP.

Many thoughts, but if I am to asking frankly. I will defend the gospel, for that's the only thing that really matters to everyone in the end.

Pray that more and more people will come to know God.

Can eat rice

Evelyn, whose well rested at home, just told me that Amos got 2 new front teeth. Meaning he can eat rice liao, no need to break down for him.

My boy is growing....

Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2009 - 21KM

According to Grace, I sign up just before the early bird expired.

Anyone wanna just join us for 21 KM this time??

A week to remember

To many if they have a choice they would want to forget a period of their life that's very, very difficult.

For me, I would say the past week is a week to remember. Thou I would say it's one of the lowest point of my life but at the same time I had exprienced the greatest comfort I ever received.

Thank you all for your love, prayer and support. Most importantly thank God for everything.

For it is not mine to lose but yours to take.

I pray that all of you will have the sama attitude towards the things that's happening to you, especially when it's very difficult to understand.

Be grateful to our Lord. Turn to Him and He will surely comfort you. Not your ways but His way. You determine all things.

For it is His to give and mine to receive.

Be ready for battle

Once someone told me that at 1st leading bible study seems to be the toughest thing when being a bible study leader. But as time goes by it's the ministering the people under your care that is the toughest.

It's really true cause if we are not careful, we will unknowingly neglect others and this is an on going battle against the worldly values thats in the risk of damaging the holy relationship we have with the Lord.

Of course we must not forget first and foremost to trust in the Lord, commit all things in prayer. If not, what ever we do or say will be useless.

Pray that we will work out our salvation so that other may have the same relationship as we have with the Lord.

Let's gear up for battle.

Thanks for being there for my 29th Birthday

I planned to post this on my birthday but was delayed as last month was just too pack with stuff. So here goes:

For someone who help plans others birthday celebrations it doesn't come as a surprise to me when people plan for a Transformer 1 screening at the Loh's house I kind of expected it, but there are times where by I can be caught off guard too, like last year.

So when I got the email from Jo-Lyn, I asked Evelyn. Of course she didn't tell me but I kind of guessed it. So I told her not to find out from them abt the details cause she herself know she cannot keep it from me wan.


Taken at the Loh's place.

So I actually try my luck to get the old-young people to go for a mid-night Transformer 2 Movie at West Mall which I thank all of you who made time to come.


Though I am quite disappointed with T2, but did enjoyed the time together. One thing for sure is that all of us old-young people really can't take too much mid night show liao. I am glad I did not push my luck further for KTV session.

I also remember some of them are late for EE the following day, hahaha!!!

Thanks for your love guys. Looking forward to turning 30 next year.

God is in control, always

The main reason we share about Evelyn's pregnancy is so that you whom we know can share our joy and pray for us cause you have been part of our life and there's no reason that we should hide anything from you.

We were told that she is much more stable on Saturday but she still have to watch out and take care of her self. Eve is currently warded, just a little unstable.

Please dun get too worried for now all things are in God's hand. Both of them are in good hands, real good hands. If you trust in the same God as me I trust that you too will pray for both Evelyn and our 2nd baby to be well.

There are things that I feel might not be good to post on my blog now so just keep us in prayer.

God is in control, always.

Could have used a MPV, but a saloon will be enough

Just in case you got worried by my last post, Evelyn is 7-8 weeks pregnant.

Pray that God will watch over her health, she got the flu from Amos, and her body will be strengthen day by day.

Wonderful work place

My bosses and colleagues has been very understanding during this period.

It's really difficult to kick start my engine to focus on work. Pray that I will put up along the way.
Pray for Evelyn as she is physically not stable yet, not able to step out of the house.

Why pray?

Different people have different ideas on prayers and methods to pray. At the end of it we pray that we will pray according to His will and He will answer our prayers.

But I am concern abt our attitude towards prayer. God's prospective on prayer never change, it's us who are changing.

Pray that we will guard our hearts with God's word and truly treasure this privilege that God has given us and not take it for granted, or even pray for the sake of praying which we are in danger of doing so.

Our God is a loving and caring person

How great a God he is. Giving us encouragement and care at the right time.

Thank God for the Walking with God Series on our church website. Thanks for the encouragement.

Take things seriously

One of my weakness is that I am more concern on things that my naked eyes can see and sometimes dun take facts seriously, specially those that I can't see.

Pray that I will take things seriously and my God answer our prayer for there are things beyond our control. All is in God's hands.

David and Andrea Wedding Dinner. 1 year later.

They got married last year in the States and finally they are back to host us.



This Wedding dinner is the best I ever had in all the wedding dinners I been to. Pork Ribs lah, Crab Meat with Mun To lah and the Chocolate Pudding!!! Watch out for the pics from Eve's Facebook.

Pray that both David and Andrea will continue to glorify God in States and that we who are in Singapore will help him to care for their parents here in Church.

Hope to see you guys around in the future.

On the way to Doctor this Morning

Brought Evelyn and Amos to see doctor this Morning:

My 2 dearest sick in the taxi.


At least Amos is active enough to play with the weighing machine.

Turn by Turn

Now Evelyn is having flu, will I be the next?

Pray that the Lord will heal both Amos and Evelyn, and strengthen Evelyn's body day by day.

Knowing vs Trusting

"We may not always know but we can always trust"

From ARPC's 4th online podcast Walking with God: Suffering and Friends 3 on the book of Job

Specially when things don't go our way, we tend to question God and at times demand for an answer from God. But it's not always possible for us to know God's plan but the one thing He has shown us is that in Him we can trust.

Pray that we will remember to always trust Him and not doubt Him in a circumstances, specially when it's seems the toughest.

HA HA!! HA HA HA HA!!!!

Why? I am trying to keep a cheerful heart in facing the reality of many many work!!!!

Very tempted to work overtime the next few days but I know I can't put myself to do it (me where got so hard working wan.)

But will very likely to bring things home to do or I really don't know how lah.

Pray for all of us even as our work demand increases our time with God and service for others will not decrease.

It's hard but possible, with God's help.

Be responsible

Whether you agree or not after reading this post, please note that this is for us to remind ourselves to be responsible God's people and not to get angry or blame others about it. Do what's right:

Amos got flu. According to Evelyn it's because one of the little kid in Children Church last Saturday spread to him wan.

Was wondering is it too much to ask the parents to be loving and bring their kids away if they are not feeling well or the concern that they might be offended that we don't tell them to do the right thing.

Pray that Amos will recover and that people will be more loving towards others.

Guess for us either we advice the parents about it or we have to let Amos skip the session.

Sometime it would be more beneficial for Amos if I were to bring him up and down the 4 storey steps through out the service.....

Substitution

"The concept of substitution may be said, then, to lie at the heart of both sin and salvation. For the essence of sin is man substituting himself for God, while the essence of salvation is God substituting himself for man.

Man asserts himself against God and puts himself where only God deserves to be; God sacrifices himself for man and puts himself where only man deserves to be. Man claims prerogatives which belong to God alone; God accepts penalties which belong to man alone"

From The Cross of Christ by Jon Stott.

It's serious stuff when I read this. We always think of our rights, think it's a very self-centered mindset, but at the end if we wanna talk about rights it is only God who who can claim that.

Pray that I will always remember God's love, the Great substitute He send for us.

A thought-full weekend

A part from Saturday working from 1PM to at reach home after work close to 2AM, it's really been a very thought-full weekend.

Thank God for Mike spending time to teach and remind us how we should live as God's worker.

Been thinking a lot. Pray that I will be more serious in handling God's word in the days to come.

Are you ready to face the unknown?

It's really funny to hear the young adults, as I wait for Evelyn to finish her dinner with friends after picking up her books, about taking courses they like and in the future they can go into a career they like also.

As I think back now I didn't really think of that but I do have some fear and uncertainty abt my then future.

What I am trying to say is as much as we try to prepare and plan ourselves to faced the unknown future, we can only know whether our past preparations or plans succeed anot only when we go thru it.

We always hope for the best and hate failures. But being one year short of 30 tells me that it's not about trying to avoid failures and always winning but how we prepare ourselves to face whatever will come at us, whether good or bad, that's important. This is what He had taught me thru His word.

Thou at times I will still be worried abt things that might happen in the things I do but I know that as long as I know whose the king of my life, nothing in this world will affect the one certainty in my life, His 2nd coming.

Amos' 1st art-craft

Amos did it, with the help of Evelyn of course, at his very 1st children church on Saturday:

Lost NS, found Light

I always knew that a part of my life is missing. My NS days. Why? Cause I am not really in touch with the people that I've been thru thick and thin with.

Thou it's almost 10 years ago but having got connected with some of them thru facebook, seeing them having outings and overseas trip shows how far apart I am with them.

NS to many men in Singapore mean a big deal. For me as I look back the things I gain are totally different.

During that 2.5 years is a period where God slowly draw me to Him. It's really funny that during the weekdays I am a solider and by weekend am a Church goer(not Christian yet). And for those who had journeyed with me thru those earlier years must have been worried for my occasion no show, going to Just Looking for at least 2 times.

But thankfully by God's grace He found me. Turning from darkness to light. Thank You for finding me.

Almost got burnt

The forest almost got burnt today. Thanks to the timely shower of blessing.

Pray that I will be watchful of my actions and remember my every move should glorify Him and Him alone.

Pray for my wife

She has not been feeling well for the past many few days. Headache, sore throat and flu. Pray that she will recover soon.

God knows our heart

Was praying with one of my DG member after DG yesterday and was sharing with him my thoughts on how we should live our lives as servant of the gospel.

It's never about how much you do but how best have you done.

God made us all different and for different purposes. We should see in our current situation how best do we managed our time. God, others then self.

A job that requires us to work long hours or lots of flying around doesn't it's a bad job or a wrong choice, but it's to ask our self how we can best serve God. Of course the wise thing is not to work in jobs that takes up lots of our time but in reality most of us really don't have a choice.

People do make decision. Whether to quit to serve God better or choose to remain and continue to serve God to his/her fullest, of course must watch out not to lose our focus on God.

Pray that we will search our hearts and be truthful to God. Not to show others but to show God who we truly are.

Life's like Running 2.4km

I used to run 10 minutes but today I ran 12.29 minutes. I started off fast, cause I know I can't pick uptowards the end. Along the way I slowed down, felt like giving up, but I didn't stop cause from my experience on running 2.4km if I start to stop I will surely fail. Maintain my speed, step up a little along the way, endure to the end and managed to pass.

Think my walk with God is more or less similar. I started off with a lot of energy, wanted to do this and that but along the way will feel a bit dishearted and thought to myself should I carry on. But never once did I give up, praise the Lord, and I just kept going, with God's help.

I will never know how many times will I slow down or will I be able to speed up, I just know that as long as I run the race for God, never to give up, I will make it to the finish line when my track ends.

In Him alone we trust, no matter what type of road you are running on, endure and press on. All for the kingdom of God.

Another Year of IPPT

Thank God that I cleared mine this morning. Age is catching up. Really need to start training to prepare for next year.

Adam Road Presbyterian Centre New Website!!!!!

It's finally up!!!



Heard the wind for quite awhile and it's finally up!!!

Do visit ARPC website to learn more about God.

Duty knocking on the door.

NDP duty is knocking on my door now. Looks like I am gonna be delpoyed all the way until the actual day.

Peace

"It is not the absent of conflict but the presence of reconciliation." From last Sunday's sermon.

Think we sometime deceive ourselves thinking that everything is fine but actually the issue has not been solved yet. Think a part from opening our mouth to say sorry we really have to ask God to help us to change our heart to forgive and to reconcile with others.

Thankful for a great end to a long day.

Never had the feeling that today is gonna be a good day after knowing that I can't claim off tomorrow due to work. But, things may not always be what we think it might turn out to be:


Bought fruits for Evelyn


Amos taking a nap while we eat


Finally woke up just after we ate


Having fun playing with him


Thank God for how He end my day on a wonderful note. Surely tomorrow will not be any different. Pray that you have a good day too.
