The "Bully" is here!!

Spending time with Evelyn on a Sunday afternoon

Evelyn had a tired week, mainly because she stayed at home to teach my younger brother, whose having 'O' Levels this year, while I went for my retreat and DG stuff.

So we went out in the afternoon for a while.

Went to the smelly doufu "Chou Doufu" stall at Geylang. Finally got to try it. It's very crispy, but still prefer the one we ate at Taipei.




They also have other Chinese food like fried intestines and chicken porridge.

Went to Sentosa for awhile. The place really changed a lot. We missed those days where we always had farewells and outings here.

BGB Officers' Retreat 2007

Had a one day retreat at the Bukit Batok Civil Service Club. Daniel Ong's father, his real father, Thomas Ong came and gave a talk on how to handle teen sexual issues. not an easy topic to handle. The biggest challenge is to tell them about God's order on sex for us and also to share Christ to the teens when the world's view on sex is soooooo different.

The 2nd half we have a lively session by Pearlyn from Australia who teaches us how to teach the bible to children, between 8 to 18 years old. Dun think can use everything she taught on our boys and girls but it's still a very enjoyable session. Will be posting the song and dance she taught on my facbook. Watch out for it....

Name starts with the letter "A"

Most people address me as Ahlong thou I know they also know my full name too, friends am I right??

The reason for using Ahlong is so that people can remember my name easily cause Myself got problem remembering people's name, especially person that I just knew.

Got a call from Diane at lunch time, was so excited cause long time never talk to her on the phone!!!! I said hello a few times and no response. Only hear her talking in the back ground then the line cut off. Then I release she must have called me accidentally.

Sad that didn't managed to talk to her, but at least it's seems that my number is the 1st on her handphone. "Ahlong", starts with "A". Keylock not on, usually they will dial the 1st number to dial. Well she is not the 1st one. Maybe she is still not used to her N80, right Diane??

Working HARD!!!

Last night was the 1st night I slept alone after getting married. Slept in base to rush some work so Evelyn went back to her parents place to sleep. By the time I finish my stuff it's 3 plus, AM.

Gonna be busy till the 9th Nov. That day marks the end of my busy schedule at work for the year. Looking forward to that day.

Pray for less sleep out and of course rest. Thou tired now but I feel recharged again when I think of going for CLDG later tonight. Thank God for good time spent with brothers and sisters every Thursday.

By the way, I am listening to the song "一人一半" from the movie 881. Very nice, Should listen if you have the chance.......

:"一人一半,感情不散.已经找到爱,为何要离开........"

I need or I want..... Praise the Lord....

Went to the Red Cross Home this morning. Didn't know it was at Hillview area. They house disable children, men and women of all ages.





Seeing the people there made me feel ashame of myself when at times I complain abt how tough my life has been, in terms of work and many other stuff. Sometime I really wonder am I asking too much in my life.

I praise God for how He has worked in my life and teach me to be contented with what I have for He knows what is the best for us, giving us what we need and not what we want.

Are you contented with "what you need" or still chasing "what you want"?

A weekend of gathering

Just got home from the BASIC retreat. It's great to spend time with brothers and sisters knowing that we have the same focus in life. They will break camp on Sunday, so will drop by tomorrow night, late night, cause so happen I will be having a BBQ gathering with the Bishan CLDG. Really looking forward to it.

Thank God for a wonderful weekend of gathering. It's totally better than watching Football man. Did I mentioned BASIC is also doing some kind of a recruitment drive??

Just when you think things are gonna get easier

My mum came over on Tuesday and Wednesday night cause my brother can't really study at home so they came over. Thanks mother for cleaning the house when things aren't easy for me.

Been hard trying to focus on my work, weekend is coming again and pray that I can accomplish my tasks this week and move forward next week, work wise.

Just finished the book of Hosea last week and was like "Ya, going back to New Testament. Should be easier to understand". TOTALLY WRONG LOR!!!!!!

Surely it's good not only for me but the rest of my brothers and sisters on how we live our lives, "WHOSE THE HEAD OF YOUR LIVE?!" (1Cor 11:2-16). The DG got kind of messy, both the Tue and Wed wan, cause it's not really easy for us to see or I should say understand wat really happened back then, but thank God that we are able to understand the principle of the study and wat was Paul's main point.

Ya, having said my mother and brother (together with my sister too)came over on both nights, got to thank my wife for accompanying them. If not for her, I wouldn't be able to go for DG on both nights. Thanks my dear.

Been really struggling a lot, especially at work (that's why the low frequency on Facebook and Blog). Really hard to live up my live properly as I should be. But, thank God for CLDG just now. If you think study 14 is just only about the Lord's Supper?? Think again!! Thank God for His word which really reminded how I should live and encourages me how to carry on to live my life for Him.

Do read it up, 1Cor 11:17-34, and I pray that you too may be challenged to look within yourself and ask "And I taking my walk seriously", if you proclaim that you have known the One that will come again.

I am gonna change

Yesterday was Children's day and took leave cause Eve also not working. Talk to a few people and was thinking thru a lot stuff and found that I am not really heeding His calling to live a life that's please to Him.

FM 07 & EPL, I dare to say, are my Idols that took quite an amount of time from me, time that could be put to better and wiser use.

From now on, I am gonna change, with God's help......
