My Beautiful day..

hmmm.. let's see.. what did i do today?
- woke up @ ten
- met Adriel for guitar jamming @ my place
- took afternoon nap..
- dinner
- and blogging now.. haha

hehe.. that's what i call a beautiful day yar.. hehe.. well how do we define a beautiful day? a day full of surprises? a day where everything goes right and nothing wrong? how about a day where everything goes wrong? when calamaties strike? when problems arises from every corner of your life? or a day where you practically do nothing.. will that be the day we can also call beautiful?

Beautiful is the day with the Lord
Then a thousand days without Him
Beautiful is the day with the Lord
Cause He sustains us with His very breath
Beautiful is the day with the Lord
Cause He is always with me
Beautiful is the day with the Lord
Cause I'm alive..

Today was a beautiful day.. and so is the days to come and the rest of the days of my life.. this i'm sure..

My New Bike!

Yes!! It has arrived!! practically waited the whole afternoon for it.. and it came to my door step at 6pm sharp! of course i took it out for a spin! went round the whole stretch of track three times! which is about 9km! and then round Clementi Central till i stop over @ MacDonalds for a break.. hehe..

but while waiting for my bike, i was sitting at home being a couch potato! watch a jap show called "Crying out love at the centre of the world".. very very good show man! its a very touching show.. quite similar to a Walk To remember but this show is less predictable.. which is good! was holding back my tears a couple of times even though i was alone at home.. hehe.. but i really recommend u to watch it! well watching a lot of this kinda shows recently.. maybe God is trying to tell me to cherish the pple around me.. dun wait till the last minute till they are about to leave you.. cherish them and love them.. be it loved ones or family members or friends... God tell us to love your neighbours and love our enemies.. and my bike! hehe..

My New bike!!!!

Another view.. 

Finally!!!

finally!! yes! i finally got a bike! haha to all mappies thanks for your years of prayers yar... haha like since i was 18 till now i always wanted a bike! hehe.. woohoo! its making its arrival to my home tml afternoon!

anyway from end of oct for two weeks i'll alone at home! my parents are going to thailand for two weeks.. i can't go cause i'm sort of still in NS though i am clearing my leave but i still have my medical appointments and other admin stuff to settle.. as well as church commitments.. so next time!

well first of all wanna thank God for protecting my dad!! cause a few days ago while he was going to work and crossing the road.. a car almost bang unto my dad as my dad was being blocked by a stationary car and the oncoming car couldn't see him.. thus just by a mere fraction of a few centimetres my dad escaped being paralyse or worst death... i thank the good good God for protecting my dad with His divine protection... thank God..

well the past two days have been at home resting.. its a long time since i last had such a rest at home..

and thank God for providing a bassist for the speedlight music team! and also an acoustic guitarist.. hehe.. maybe i can sort of return back to the choir.. miss them! haha.. felt a little apart from them.. i really thank God that the whole team is slowly picking up now.. the choir is getting more zealous in praising God and the music team is bonding better.. but still alot alot more areas to improve on for the glory of God.. well the guitarist is slowly getting overcrowded.. two electric guitarist, one bassist, and going to be three acoustic guitarist soon.. Ooo.. however was toking to bryne regarding the guitarists.. felt that we need to come together to discuss on how to play a particular together and not everyone just reading the score and whacking.. last sunday prac was a little bit too loud.. probably cause too many guitarist.. hehe.. but i thank GOd for the signs He's shown to us.. and i thank God for the pple who came to join the choir too! conducted a choir audition with Joe.. was thinking.. if i were to go thru another audition i would definately be nervous man.. reminded me of my audition too.. Johnson and terence and i think karen were there to audit.. hehe.. me, sharon and celeste went thru it.. nerve wreaking man.. anyway... praise the Lord for the numbers! i pray that the choir will continue to grow in numbers and spiritually and crazy!! hehe..

Be With Me..

Woke up pretty early today! slept for 8 hours but still feeling super tired.. well guess i should be cause i just had a three day threatcon charlie exercise in my base.. super tiring.. we were made to wear bullet proof vest which were so heavy and we looked like turtles.. haha.. but with that aside.. started the day having the urge to watch a movie which i haven't watch for quite sometime.. the last was initial D and i watched it alone that time.. this time i also watched it alone.. Be With Me.. a film by Eric Khoo.. a very good show.. it comprises of three stories that somehow exist together at the same time but doesn't coincide with one other.. the first story was about an old man who owns a grocery shop.. whose beloved wife was about to pass away.. lost all hope to carry on in life.. closed his shop everyday.. listless from time to time.. he had a son who seldom visit him.. second story was a fat young man who was condemn by his family but took the courage to fall in love with a young female executive when he was working as a security guard at the office building.. he only hopes to get close to her and to know her.. the third story was about two females (Ezann Lee and Samantha Tan) who fell in love with each other.. but only for Sam(played by Samantha) to know that she didn't want to continue having a lesbian lover and had a boyfriend in school.. she just wanted a normal relationship.. but Jackie( played by Ezann) couldn't accept the truth and attempted suicide.. only to fell on the young fat man who was able to write a decent letter to the woman whom he loves... the forth and the most inspiring story was about Theresa Chan.. a true story.. she was blind and deaf at the tender age of 14.. she gave up any hope of living.. but thru determination and help from people like Elizabeth Choy, she was able to overcome her handicap and live life to the fullest.. even to the extend to teach the blind handicrafts and to help the less fortunate kids in india.. she believes that GOd is her only hope..

this whole movie spoke so much with little script.. its an arty arty film but each picture spoke with volume even without any lines.. it centers on true love and hope in life.. all of us need hope and love to carry us thru our lives.. but what kind of hope and love are we holding on to or looking for? human love? hopeless promises or empty hope? there are some worldly hope which promises many many things in life.. like job prospect, relationship, money, etc.. but there's only one hope which is never failing and always there.. that's the hope of God.. the echo of hope.. and love? well we always search for true love.. but there can only be one true and pure love.. and that's the love of God.. Theresa Chan held on to this two.. and lived lifes sometimes even better than us.. though she couldn't hear the birds singing and see the sun setting.. but there's hope in her heart.. sometimes in life we will meet with tragedies but it is not the end of the world.. whether it is losing someone or something in life.. there is always hope and love in God thru Jesus Christ.. He is our echo of Hope... our Hope is in the name of the Lord..

A Happy Day To Thank God for..

well this day isn't a really fantastic day.. but little little stuff happened which made this day a happy one.. met up with my old classmate who is my financial planner, accomplished something which i called a feat to me which haha LiJia will know what i meant.. bought three cds for the price of two... went on a little photography trip to a roman catholic cathedrel.. AND!!! saw someone whom i've missed so much so much and whom we haven't met each other for almost more than a year.. when i saw this person somewhere @ plaza sing, i was almost in tears! this person is none other than Venetia Miriam Guo Xin En.. haha still remembered her full name.. we only manage to catch up for like 1 minute cause she was with a friend but that was more than enough.. was so overjoyed i kept thanking the Lord.. but one thing still have not accomplish.. is to bring her back to God.. pretty sad and disappointed to lose a friend out of faith.. sometimes to think back.. how could i allow her to slip away from her faith just like that? but thank God that i manage to bang onto her at the streets today.. divine appointment.. i believe so.. this made me realise tat i need to learn to cherish friends.. read Shimin's blog and i understand how she feels too..
i believe we need to cherish the people God have placed in our lives.. even if that person has done something wrong to us.. Forgiveness is always there.. read janissa blog on her granny.. convicted me to also cherish my only granny too.. my granny always buys toys and sweets when i was young.. i know she really loved me.. convicted now to love and cherish even my parents more and friends and love ones..
God has placed all these people for a reason.. to love, to cherish, to comfort, to be joyful with, and so on.. got this phase from someone.. its about friends..

Friendship is a continuous process
A never ending phase in life
Its purpose...
+-to ensure happiness
+-to give brightness when in dark
+-to give light to a path
+-to show love exists
+-to enable us to grow
+-to give us faith when in doubt
+-to share w/ us our pains and sorrows
+-to enjoy the victories and happiness
+-to lighten our heavy load
+-to lend a helping hand
+-to get a place in someone's heart
+-to share the pleasures in life
+-to gain experiences
+-to receive advice
+-to renew our spirits
and so much more...

Food for thoughts..

How could i be the one

To crucify the Son of God

For He sacrificed

For my sins

To die

For my life

How could i be the one

To crucify the Living Son of God

I will never find

Anyone like Him

Who would die

For my life

My adonai

This was a chorus that the Lord recently gave to me.. have you ever wonder who crucified Christ? was it the soldiers? Pilate? the people of that era? supporters of Barabbas? Pharasees? well the answer is everyone including us.. we crucified Christ on the cross.. because of our sins.. but because of His unfailing and unconditional love, he willingly took the cup of suffering and went to the cross to bore the sins of the world.. the weight of the sins of the entire mankind was on His shoulders.. Because of His love.. We're redeemed and made righteous before God.. So before we sin or do anything that is not right before God's eyes.. think again.. Who crucified Christ? Its us...
