today we had our appreciation party at church (chinese church hall), it's realli a BIG thing for us. Esp since we only had like 5 days to prepare everything! all the praise and worship, performances like cheers and dance, awards and appreciation, hospitality, ushering and security and everything! i am realli proud of my powerful CGL sis sher, she really makes things happen. sometimes i feel that i can't keep up with her faith and capacity, but it's really a challenge for me to be under such a powerful leader!

woke up realli early today at 6am, feeling sleepy... went to boonlay to meet the other members up and we went to church, but church was not open yet. so we gathered at the void deck near church and sis sher gave us a final briefing for the appreciation party. everything had to be done smoothly, cos we're expecting 20 over guests from other cellgroups to come.

when the church finally opened at 10am, everyone of us went in excitedly and started to set up the place.the sound system was only set up by around 11 plus and our rehearsal time was delayed. we just did the best that we can and thank God we managed to start at 1.30pm.

the guests that came were brother gabriel (my zone supervisor) and sister mag (brother gabriel's wife) , brother victor (e254), xiaoyun (n211), royston (e33), sister grace and brother jincai and brother eugene (leaders from pastor aries zone), melvin (guitarist! from e317), cindy teng (e317 to help us with sound) and gabriel (eh...dunno which cg, but came to help with sound too), desmond (eh... forgot which cg, but came to play drums for us), isaac (e39, to help us as cameraman). thanx for all of their help to put together a great Appreciation!
and of cos not forgetting the other guests who came to grace the occasion, the members from e39!!(ohya, zixiu was there... hmmm she didn't make much noise today tho... haha, just kidding. zixiu is a very funny person... she actualli pushed someone off the choir platform during soundcheck before christmas drama.)

the woodlands ring secondary school and marsiling secondary school students came up with revival cheers for their respective schools and it was impressive! i'm so amazed at their creativity and their talents! tho they're so young, but they are really have great ability, creativity and productivity!

we had a dance performance put up by sis sherling and the helpers (which includes me), after which we had a prize presentation time. we presented awards to our dear members who had outstanding performance in the cellgroup.after which, we also presented a 'secret' award to our beloved leader sis sherling (well, its not so secret after all, cos she saw the award by accident unfortunately...). it's called the Good Shepherd Award. after that, sis sherling also presented 2 special awards... Outstanding Leadership Award (presented to..... me!) and Outstanding ArmourBearer Award (presented to.... Kiong!). i was so touched when i got my award that i wanted to cry, i wanted to say something to sis sherling, but there's no time, so i tink i'd email her.

after that we had a powerpoint presentation to present the photos that we had taken from the beginning of e168 (june 03) til now. it's only like 6 months, but we had grown tremendously, and indeed, it's a quantum leap for us! i am so proud to be in this cellgroup, to personally witness the miracles of God and how endless and unlimited God's power is and how faith can realli overcome all impossibilities. it's an eye-opener to me, and until now, i cannot believe how a young cellgroup (the members are realli young, and we're only like 6mths old as a cellgroup) can achieve something so phenomenal. it's realli God! and it takes a powerful leader with great faith to do something like this too....

today is indeed a happy day for me. i see how the members are united together, and how we actualli put together an event like this within a few days preparations. and i realli appreciate those people who stayed up the night before to prepare the powerpoint and awards for us... feel so bad and sad that i wasn't there... thanx sis sher, gwyn, charlotte and karen!

today is the last day of the christmas drama! *sobz

sobz partly cos i didn't bring alot of frens (in fact i only brought 1...) and also cos singing in the drama choir was so fun! tho it was very tiring, cos i attended every service (total 7) but i enjoyed it all! and got to know choir ppl in my zone better (like zixiu and elaine... and of cos kiong la, my cellgroup member).

i miss everything!

had a lot of crap happening these days.... like zixiu talking in the middle of praise and when pastor kong is speaking (haaa)and she pushed someone off the platform during soundcheck before drama! that was so funny. thank God the sister in front of the sister being pushed off was steady... if not, we'll see the 'dominoes' falling.... imagine that!

today is the last day le... woke up really early this morning. i didn't sleep much, only 2 hours... why? cos i couldn't sleep! why? cos i was afraid i can't wake up and miss the first service in the morning which is at 10am and choir gotta report at 8.45am. i woke up at 5.54am, thanx to Carter who gave me morning call. immediately i got up and called kiong, he's awake already.

i met kiong at boonlay and we went for breakfast at the kopitiam near church. i didn't have appetite to makan, so just drank abit of milo(tastes bad). den tabao food for carter cos he gotta makeup for drama so cannot come out and buy.

zixiu didn't come today! brother eugene not conducting today also. sister gene took over. tink one of the singers not there so brother eugene had to stand in for him.

realli enjoyed these few days of singing! it's realli the joy of serving God!

after the last service, i was very tired, but we still had to travel to admiralty to aunty wendy's house to prepare for the appreciation. everyone was busy with their own things and for me, i had to practice the dance item, and also tink of what to say for the prize presentations. the members doing the powerpoint was the most stressed... they realli have alot alot to do!

appreciation is on tuesday! we have very little time, but i have faith that things are gonna work out well.

my own service was on Christmas Eve, after that we went to Ang Mo Kio for countdown and makan... supposed to reach home before 1.30am but i got home at 2.25am instead! opps... but thank God i didn't kena scold again. heh.

this is me! i have a christmas hat!


ryan, gwyn,zoe and cedric... squeezing in..my phoneCam too small le la


today was christmas day... supposed to wake up 7.15am in the morning for service (cos JonLim bringing 4 frens) but i woke up at 8.06am! i quickly showered and changed and took a cab to tampines and caught the second bus. Thank God! when i got to church, i was at the end of the queue at B2 and i was tinking... how to book 8 seats? but when i went in the Auditorium, i managed to get the second row! however, our frens came quite late, so in the end, we only got like 5 seats? and had to squeeze 7 people... Sis sher and I had no seats so we had to exit the place.

@1pm ++, the rest of the members came and we had our gift exchange! i got a handphone holder from Howe! haa, now i can put one of my phones inside... how about my other one den? *hint hint. haha.

@2pm, we had prayer meeting with Pastor Kong and the other Pastors and Zone Supervisors... it was a powerful praying meeting! it's been so long that i've prayed for this long... like 2 full hours? i felt very physically tired, but spiritually i feel so charged up! talking abt physically tired, i tink i realli need to do something, i tink i get tired too easily. i slept all the way home on the MRT and when i got home, i fell asleep after reading a book...hiyo! when i woke up, at's like 12plus in the morning! i went to check my handphone frantically and i saw a message ...

we're gonna have an Appreciation on the 30th December @ church. it's gonna be a BIG thing! Brother Gabriel and Sister Magdalene and some other leaders are gonna come, and E39 (Sister Mag's CG) will be coming to attend too. Melvin will be coming to play praise for us (Cheekiong is leading) and i'd play and lead worship myself. there's gonna be alot of other performances, awards and appreciation... stay tuned!

tomoro gonna get back to work again... in fact, i've been working everyday! for the Lord! haa, isn't that wonderful? i guess i'd end off this year well... thank God. meanwhile, i gotta hang on and bash thru... very tiring but it's all worth it.
i'm on choir duty tomoro! yay!!! in fact, i'm gonna sing tomoro, sat and sun too.

hiya... i haven't make my christmas card yet.... huh? what? christmas is over? aiyo, how leh...

it's like 1.27am now... came home awhile ago from the movie!

it's good, quite funny and very exciting! well, u better go watch it soon! i'm expecting to watch like another 2 times at least, once with my cellgroup and another with ShUfAng aftEr wE gEt Our pAy... dUnnO if qUAnsOOn and cArtEr still wAnnA wAtch thO...

wEll i still prEfEr watching part one and two as cOmpArEd tO this... probably becOs it's the lAst and i'm gOnnA miss it alOt.. and lEgOlAs (my fave character!) too... and prolly cOs this hasn't gOt mUch fOcus on LegOLas... mostly on frOdO, sAm and ArAgOrn of cOs.

this is realli a tiring day for me...

met up with jingyi at 11am@Causeway cos i need to buy some stuff... we shopped realli fast and we decided to go to Yoshinoya to wait for the rest... our cellgroup members came to join us around 12nn, along with the friends they invited for the concert.

@12.45pm we all proceeded to wait for the bus we chartered to bring us to church... but there were some miscomm and we left woodlands @ ard 1.20pm.

when we got to church, it was so crowded! altho we managed to go inside the auditorium, we were all separated, and some of us have no seats. i ended up with JonLim, Gary, Keatmin, Cedric, Sebastian etc, sitting on the floor of the left corner of the stage! well, great view, i have nothin to grumble about! *luffs.

after the concert, it was raining quite heavily... we walked in the rain to the coffee shop and i was all drenched. after they have eaten, it was still raining! and i was drenched, AGAIN!! *argh.

i headed for tampines to meet my brother, supposed to meet at 8.15pm, but he was late! i was so worried dat the tickets would be sold to others (cos we're supposed to collect tix like 1/2h in advance).. but thank God it didn't happen. my brother arrived at like 8.45pm... heh, i bought alot of food cos i was so HungRy! one drink, one popcorn, one nachos and one hotdog! shouldn't haf bought the nachos... the hotdog is nice tho! rEali nicE!!! *yummyz

my phone kept vibrating during the show! cheryl called... which i didn't ask why cos she said 'bye' after i said i'm in the cinema, carter and quansoon called also... quansoon said he's @ tampines too. later i found out that he's also watching ROTK but at 1am...

tink i can't go for the morning service tmr... cos there's choir prac tmr for christmas drama... how? am i not trying hard enuff? am i compromising? last week i got scolded until 'upside down' cos my mum said that i 'went out early and came home late'... dat's why i decided not to go for the morning svc tmr. but i'd still go for the 2nd and 3rd svc...

realli wrote alot today... haa... i better go and rest now... recently i am realli lack of sleep and water. pimples outbreak. hate it. argh.

hee..i'm blogging for yesterday...

was monday...

i took a half day leave cos i wasn't feelin' well in the morning... lost my voice! and feel like having a fever liddat... so i rest.

went to work in the afternoon...

went for choir prac at church...

...supposed to meet zixiu and carter at cityhall there, but i was earlier den them so i decided to head down for boonlay first so that i can withdraw some cash... in the end, they reached church earlier den me. so i met cheekiong and we went to church together...

so funny, i had no voice to sing at all, so i could only mouth the songs... i had to leave for home early... left at 9.30pm... guess what... i reached home at 11.30pm! why i stay so far away??? i was so tired, and i didn't dare to use the PC or phone, cos mum was in. i even turned down the volume of my handphone (in case someone calls)... and den i went to sleep. when i woke up this morning, had 4 missed calls... goes to show that i have so many 'owl-friends'...

my voice is coming back, but it's still very bad... very croaky. *sianz

alright, i forgot to blog about these... *haaa

we had cellgroup meeting yesterday... the praise was very exciting! haaa, i enjoyed playing the guitar for the praise leader, kiong, it seems that everyone was very exuberant yesterdae...

the chocolate steamboat (aka chocolate fondue) was fantastic!

we had gift-making for christmas after that...

one of the gifts we made...

it's an ice cream stik with macaroni alphabets stuck on it... "Christmas E168". E168 is my cellgroup!

this is ryan... taking up the fan and drying the ice cream sticks...



after that, i had to rush to causeway to buy new shoes (i broke my old one in the morning b4 cellgroup!)... quite nice
my new shoes!


the SOT graduation (aka ComMenCeMent!)is very haPpEnInG! well, the atmosphere was so filled with excitement, can realli feel that the graduands are so excited and so happy...

i wunder where to get real chocolate fudge, coz we bought chocolate syrup, which is not thick enuff. we ate alot alot of fruits! lemme see... we ate a whole bunch of bananas, 4 apples, 1 mango, 2 dragonfruits, 1 box of strawberries... and 1 loaf of bread! and we're still left with one bowl of chocolate syrup, so gwyn and i decided to drink some of it... (haaa...). and the remaining ones we had no choice, but to throw away... (anyway, not left with much also).

ohya, and we celebrated jon tay's birthday! we bought him a converse bag.. wow.

after the chocolate steamboat, sis sher and kiong went to sis joyce's baby's first month celebration. so the rest of us had to stay around and do the christmas presents for new friends...

the devil is realli out to get me... i just want to serve God... but the devil keeps coming to distract me... Christmas is comin and there's alot of choir practices at night... that's why i've been going home late... i realli realli want to be involved in the choir for Christmas... but my mum says she'd lock me out if i get home later den 11.30pm. how?

went to Chapter 2 last evening to do my hair.. it's a new salon at Bugis, very cool! the interior design is realli nice... and cosy too. i went with Michelle Qiu to do our hair, shuzhen came along to... hmm... accompany us. *haa.

my previous hairdo...


my new hair color...


me and my colleague, jean


me and my colleagues @ AsiaOne!... jean, jasmine and shufang...



Chelle didn't cut her hair, cos she already cut it last month, she colored her hair.. copper with blonde streaks? not sure of the color, but it sure looks nice, yummy-ish copper.

heh, i cut my hair! a totally different look. (kinda miss my old hair). looks very punk and rugged and jap-ish. needs a lot of styling to look nice i tink... my hair is very layered now. oh ya, the hair color, CoPpEr bAse with Red-OraNgey StrEaks... i like the way the stylist put the streaks on my hair. UnCoMmOn plAces. i like the new look, but i miss my old hair too.

realli dunno what to put for my title... haha.

anyway, i'm blogging for yesterday! cos when i got home last night, i called my friend, so i couldn't go online to blog...

yesterday was so fun! the sushi-making, the rap, the cellgroup meeting, the new comers' tea (i'm not new comer, i was accompanying the new comers) and the choir practice (man, it was AwEsOmE!)

yesterday was sunday. CellGroup Day! as usual, i was rushing in the morning, grab all my stuff and my guitar and dash out of the house... when i reached Admiralty, Szehui and Kiong were there, so we went to the CG house first to prepare for the sushi-making... shortly after the zone camp people arrived and we started out RaP pRaCtIce! haa, it's so fun! we took bottles (plastic ones and glass...), plastic bowls, dustbin, chopstick etc etc... for PerCuSsIoN! it was kinda corny but it's reALi funniE. KwOkWenG and KioNg were the lead rappers... after that I led the J-E-S-U-S rap (the one Pastor Yong did) and den we went into Praise (thank God SteFf came and played guitar for me... so that i can lead praise)... den i played guitar for worship (Kiong's the worship leader).

after CG, some of us (Sis sher, Kiong, Me, SylviA, JonLim, GarY, JieMing, YuNxiAn, JonTay, PauLina and PeiJing) went for the new comers' tea. altho we're slightly late, my members managed to grab lotsa food, while i helped out with serving the bee hoon to the people. after the food, our ZoNe ppl gathered around and we sabo-ed JianFeng to do the JayChou rap...man, he's good!

at 8pm was the choir practice, it's so fun! it's simply AwEsOme!!! i love the songs! should i tell u the songs? mayb not... hear for urself! haa. (there's another practice tonight too... )

Return of the King is opening soon, i am so excited! 9 more days ... hiakz

yes, i am back from the zone camp! it's reeeeeeeeeeeeali fun! i'm sunburnt!

i miss the campers already!


it was a great 3-day-2-nite camp! (feeling kinda lost right now... i miss the chalet and the campers!)

initially i thought that it's might be boring cos i dunno my group well at all and my members seem to be the quiet sort. however, they turned out to be such a fun and cool group of people! the group leader is kwok weng, he's realli steady and cool. i'm the 2nd leader, the very noisy one..haa. we have 7 members, melvin (the first-look-very-quiet-but-actually-very-corny guy), glenn, esther, pingqi, annie(the cook!! she prepared the french toast for us... yumz), sharlene (always-hyper-and-on gal), sheena (serious and very cooperative gal). i realli enjoyed my time with them all! especially during the drama preparation, i got to see the crazy and corny side of everyone... esp during the 'fighting scene'. it's so fun doing the rehearsals that we don't feel tired at all! in fact, they're realli great people who never complained but are so willing to serve and follow instructions. i am so proud of all of them! and yes, we won the 2nd prize for the Best Performance!

thru this camp, i realli learnt alot. the activities(Games, Scavenger Hunt...), morning devotions(very early morning), the Word (by our ZS Brother Gabriel), the campfire night, the 'Rap' sessions (this is the climax of the camp! man, everyone just went wild...haaa), the 'Great Tribulation' (mini version) etc etc realli made me know more about myself, my character, my attitudes, how i should react when pressures come, how to motivate one another when we're realli tired, to serve one another always...

it's realli amazing how we (the team ics) came up with a special performance in such a short time. we did the bamboo dance and we had fun! tho we didn't have a chance to rehearse cos time was so little! everytime we wanted to meet, the 'siren' would just go off and we have to gather for announcement again. however, everyone's cooperation realli made everything move on and we realli had a great time!

i realli miss the camp. it has been the best camp i have ever been to so far! got to know so many people in this camp and they are realli great people. i'm realli going to miss everyone...
