I had such a tired but enjoyable weekend.

Had been attending CG on sat, and borrowed Zhi Xian's cap to wear. It caused me to have this urge to buy one too. I looked so hip when I wore it.



And then sat, I brought 3 friends' presents. A stone inscription on the story of "Footprint" for my dearest sister, Shi Min. The book called "5 Languages of Apology" for Edmund and for Guang Xiang, I forget which book I got for him, but I felt so bad for buying the gift so last min. I wanna to get the book "Moving in the Spirit" by Pastor Phil for him but it ran out of stock and when Guang Xiang heard it, he went crazy with me caused that the book that he wanted so much but it went right out of his hands. God, helps me to find the book? I don't like buying something that is sub-standard. I want to get something that is what people want and really impacted them. It taught me one lesson, next time get gifts earlier.

But I glad Edmund liked the book. I wanna to get him the "5 Languages of Love" but after walking so long at Attributes, the sale person told me was out of stock. I was so sad but then at night as he saw his gift, he smsed me to tell me that he liked the book. Thanks God! I remembered on my birthday he also brought me a book and just like how the book blessed me (even if I haven't finish it), the book I brought for him also blessed him. Brother, next year for my birthday, you should give me something else, so that next year birthday you can reap back something else. Haha...

Then at night supposed to have a chill out with Su Ee and a few others but one after another went to play pool and left Su Ee, Mandy, Zi Yun, Martin and Mike. We were supposed to go Clarke Quay TCC but ended up in Bugis TCC as we planned to look for Kim Seng but it so happened that he was having an off day. Hmmm... The lady at the counter was a bit attitude and after waiting for more than 15 min, we decided to go to the famous Wanton Mee store to have our very late dinner for we were tired and hungry. We were a bit upset because of the lady's attitude but in exchange, we saved quite a lot of cash.

Had been spending time talking some interesting things while we ate, and at the same time, we were planning for M&M day, Mike's birthday and also to have a chill out every alternate sat. It seemed like we had formed a group and we decided to spend weekend at various places, to enjoy and to fellowship.

Then at night still went Su Ee's place to stay and to chit-chat. Her laptop seemed to dislike me a lot. Always hung on me and it was actually very irritating, if not for Su Ee who asked me to be more gentle, I will be quite rough with it.

During that time, I found Abel and Mandy to be online. We disturbed Mandy and I chatted with Abel for a while. I found one thing that Abel said was quite true. Coffee club service really lost out to kopitiam service. It seemed like he also encountered something bad when he had a dine out that night. I agreed it to a certain extend but the environment at Coffee Club is always nicer than other places. So sad in a way...

Then Su Ee suddenly asked me what do I think a real man or a real woman is like and we started to share about it and she ended up typing down my comments in her blog. Crazy night we had, stayed until 3 am plus then we managed to sleep as I was helping her to set up a blog skin. Without caffine, I thought I will get knocked off but then Su Ee managed to keep me awake. Haha...

Then today went for Service. During our journey to expo, I saw a guy who I knew from testimony challenge one and a half year ago. I had once told Su Ee about this guy but it was my 1st time pointing it to her. It was such an embassrassed situation with the guy since he remembered me but I forget his name maybe that why whenever he saw him, he never dared to call me for the last time he done that 1 year ago, I looked at him like he was very weird. Then Su Ee said he looked short and I can't help but laughed caused he is around my height. The 1st time I knew him through the testimony challenge, he was taller than me by half a head and he chatted with me because we were the only 2 contestants and we were nervous but it seemed like the more we chat, the more nervous we were and he was a nice guy, he waited for me after I finished my testimony and then I discovered that he was from my school, he also just learned guitar, and we came to church on the same day! So funny when think about it then after that time, I forget his name and I was not able to make it for POS like he got me to promise to go so whenever I saw him, I shunned from him caused one time we saw one another during overnight prayer meeting and he called me but then I forget his name so don't know what to call him. But then, can see he is a mature believer by the way he carried himself and all. Example for all brothers. And sometime, life is interesting because of this little little encounters. Haha...

Then spending sometimes fellowshipping with members, went for a crazy shopping trip at Attributes, then we followed Cindy to Coffee Bean and met up with Chee Kiong. He was alone, waiting for Gwyn so Jolene, Irene, Kai Yun and I joined him. We had a nice chat with him and asked him about SOT and wow, after I heard about what SOT is like and how saving up is so important, my fire for SOT grew even more. Enjoying talking about the books that they studied in SOT and all. Then when Gwyn was done, I went to joined JY, Charlotte, Venus and Su Ee for fellowship. We talked about our dream, the kind of guy that we would want to meet, and about ministry. It was in a way an enjoyable time. Then we met Howe and one of his member. It seemed like they just finished their helping out at expo hall 1 and they joined us as we took the mrt.

Had a nice chat with JY after everyone left and I learned one important thing from him, certain that we heard, it is better not to pursuit about it but to let it gone out of us and also, about how to build a strong spiritual life. I really learnt something from him. Haha... Well JY 's words really impacted me for he was super steady when he said, things like this was better to let it be forgotten. Well brother, you really grew a lot and now is my turn to listen. =]

I was tired nonetheless, yet one thing in mind, I got to make sure I grow even further with God. Can't stand staying at the same place, need to go up higher! Just higher!

There are so much more for me to start anew with.

There are so many things going through my mind now.

There are so much changes to make for the next 1 year before I embrark in a new journey with my Lord.

It isn't easy to come this far.

And today, tears just flow out and my heart just open for the works of the Lord.

So much more to change.

So much more to sacrifice.

And at this moment, there is still a lot of things that I am still learning...

And one important thing is the art of ministering.

Today talked to my sheep.

And who know, at night, a fellow zone member just contact me to ask me to share about the sermon and it turned out to be a sharing session whereby she shared with me her problems and difficulties and I in turn share with her what I had gone through and truely it was amazing.

A 1 and a half hour conversation.

One that I haven't had like for many months?

But God is amazing.

I might not be from her CG, not from her leadership but I am amazed by the ways God bring His people together.

And one thing after all these is...

To fast and pray for the anointing...

My voice nearly gone from speaking and I just want to feel God's presence in a tangible way when I'm talking to people.

And what I am so amazed is though I don't like long conversation but the way God used us no matter how insignificant we might see really touched my heart.

I am tired yes, but I enjoyed sharing and listening and it helped me to learn to be a good listener and to be a better friend.

And I happy that even though we only know one another recently but she is willing to be open to me for a friendship.

Well I believe one thing.

God always bring the most unexpected people to us.

And we all grow from learning from one another.

Let us continue to grow like never before...

Haha... Tired already. Dreamland is waiting for me.

God, bless me in my sleep.

And guide me as I dream.

Amen!
