i seem quieter now as compared to last time..hahaha!! dun talk as much le..hmmmmm....

oh well i enjoyed serving backstage today very much, juz loving love teaching backstage sound to the new ppl in the sound ministry, i find it a joy to teach wat i noe and wat am passionate abt to them. guys ask more qns!! i may not be able to ans all of them but i'll try..

one thing i really learn about this week is loving God with all my heart and being aware of my feelings, with the many projects and presenatation and the many things happening at home, i really found myself to be very tired, moody and really just sick of wat's going on around me, during wam vision's nite as i was alone in backstage listening to Jasmine's teaching wat she said really hit me alot, feelings can be our best fren and it can be our worse enemy, we haf to be aware of our feelings. And the next day as i did my QT the verse about loving God with all our heart juz hit me, and i realised i seemed to haf forgotten my first love.

really thank God for teaching me all these , and of reminding me tat he's there all the time waiting to intervene when we call for him..

as i was going home ytd i listened to this song, and was reminded how God watches u even as changes/obstacles come, waiting to come in and see us thru those obstacles and changes,and how he renew us when we're tired, his reconstruction works in us.

Every evening sky, an invitation
To trace the patterned stars
And early in July, a celebration
For freedom that is ours
And I notice You
In children's games
In those who watch them from the shade
Every drop of sun is full of fun and wonder
You are summer


And even when the trees have just surrendered
To the harvest time
Forfeiting their leaves in late September
And sending us inside
Still I notice You when change begins
And I am braced for colder winds
I will offer thanks for what has been and what's to come
You are autumn


And everything in time and under heaven
Finally falls asleep
Wrapped in blankets white, all creation
Shivers underneath
And still I notice you
When branches crack
And in my breath on frosted glass
Even now in death, You open doors for life to enter
You are winter


And everything that’s new has bravely surfaced
Teaching us to breathe
What was frozen through is newly purposed
Turning all things green
So it is with You
And how You make me new
With every season's change
And so it will be
As You are re-creating me
Summer, autumn, winter, spring

neways school's been busy with many projects coming up..so irritating, so now currently i have a proj due next week and 2 proj due the week aft..i see many sleepless nights coming up. oh well exams is coming up in like about a month, and it'll be my long awaited semestral break.

Did backstage today for 2nd svc today, think i was really blur today, and i guess i kinda didn't mix too well today, what matters most today was at least i learn from my mistakes and i realise the style for doing backstage is now different from last time. I shall improve to be better at backstage and at FOH, aim to be a professional soundman that's my goal..

Carrot, Egg or Coffee?


A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and howthings were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of figuring and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil,without saying a word.In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me what you see.""Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied.Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg. Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma.The daughter then asked, "What does it mean, mother?"Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity ... boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water."Which are you?" she asked her daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffeebean?"Think of this: Which am I?Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with theheat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, afinancial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter andtough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water,the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot,it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you.When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, and enough hope tomake you happy.The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Thebrightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can'tgo forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
It's easier to build a child than repair an adult.

2005 has been a great year. a year where i've learnt many things, like going to NT survey(somehow it feels like i din go for it in 2005 but in 2004), going for the class really enlightened me alot in many aspects yea, really thank god for tat.
2005 also had been a year of transition, many changes happened like changing from North D to North F and from NF to YWAM, transition from secondary school to poly. Changing from sec sch to poly is really different at first couldn't get use to it, thank God i found some great frens in my class, but the sad thing is we're gonna be split up in year 2..due diff specialisation.
really want to thank God for various ppl in my life, Zing, Ruth, Pris, HuiLi, Joanne, Weiling, Susi, Royston, they've really made a great impact in my life whether if its in a direct or indirect way. I thank God for the peeps in YWAM too, i feel so blessed to be serving God with u guys and gals.
