Change

2010-01-18T00:27:00.001-08:00

Hey guys!

This is my first post in nearly a year, and is the end of my longest blogging drought xD

Many things have changed since I last blogged in May 2009, such as my physical stature, to my spiritual maturity, and also the way I do my quiet time.

We all know that there are always ups and downs in life, and at times, peaks in our spiritual journey. It's a sad reality that our passion for God isn't always one that is fully pumped out and excited, and we often feel dry, but we've got to grasp perseverance, diligence and discipline.

All of my hope is found in him, and all of my true joy only comes from God. It's my aim to become more like Jesus each and every day, even if it is just a small step closer. The way we choose to pursue this goal as a Christian is utterly vital.

There is one thing that I've noticed over the years, that one of the keys to spiritual growth is discipline. You have all been through those times where reading the bible and spending time with God was such a thrill and enjoyment, and that's great. Except we also know that is not always the case. No matter how tired or dry we feel, it is imperative that we remain disciplined in seeking after God, by reading the bible daily, and also spending time in prayer or waiting upon the Lord. I truly believe that if we keep persevering to find God, he will fill us and quench our dryness, and touch us in a way that we would never comprehend.

I can honestly testify that his word is full of life and joy, just waiting to be discovered, and that prayer is a key of maintaining a relationship with God. It's an honor that he calls us friends, and just like any of our worldly friends, if we don't keep in touch we won't be close right?

I was reading the bible this morning, and stumbled across a verse in Philippians that reminded me about something I wanted to blog about. I forgot what I was gonna say when I blogged yesterday, so I just added this into the post xD.

In the book of Philippians, Paul teaches us to never be satisfied with our spiritual progress, but always to be content for what we have in Christ. While he was writing in prison, he expressed his contentment with life's circumstances because he entrusted them with God's care, but nevertheless refused to consider himself apprehended in his walk with God, instead tells us to keep on 'pressing towards the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus'.

Face it none of us are perfect, and in fact far from perfect. As mentioned before, we aim to be righteous just like Christ demonstrated when he came to earth in the form of a man. If we can balance life's contentment with an onward desire for excellence, this also is a key to our spiritual growth and advancement. 'Godliness with contentment is great gain.'- 1 Timothy 6:6

God is love, and this love was demonstrated on the cross, where he paid the price for sinners gain, and offered us the greatest gift of all; salvation.

What in life shapes you as a person? I find my true identity in Christ.

God bless bros!

Keep seeking after God, and pressing towards the goal.

BOOYAH

Hi guys! its been ages since i last blogged. Dont worry, the blog aint quite dead yet, and I will bring it baack up :P

Btw my blogs are gonna be just stuff I share to others on email and stuff. so yeh enjoy!

I felt like sharing this great passage from the bible

Matthew 4:18-22 (New International Version)

The Calling of the First Disciples

¹⁸As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. ¹⁹"Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." ²⁰At once they left their nets and followed him. ²¹Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, ²²and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

If you read the verses, it is about Jesus calling his first disciples. While they were fishing, Simon and Peter were approached by Jesus one day who asked them to follow him. "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." They left and followed him.

The bit that stands out to me is the fact that Simon and Peter were just ordinary people- fishermen. It really says that Jesus can use ordinary people to do extra-ordinary things. In reality, we don't need to be a pastor or some preacher to do great things for Christ; just normal people with a willing heart to serve him!

Jesus wants you to follow him, so live worthy of your calling!

Btw those who were at 'Fungus' on friday when pastor Dennis Balcombe was speaking, it was truly an inspiring experience seeing the amazing passion that the Chinese people in China had for God. It really challenged me to step out of my comfort zone to the extension of God's kingdom, and especially reaching out to the lost/our friends.

God bless everyone!

Enjoy ur week!

Woah!

2009-03-09T00:04:00.000-07:00

Hey guys!
hehe i dun seem to blog much anymore xD
well just if anyone is interested, I tend to share devotionals and stuff like that instead of bloggigm and if you want, you can join too :D just tell me hhehhee

well this weekend has been ridiculously jam packed. 4 birthday parties, and a whole lot more!

Sunday:
We were helping to raise money for a bushfire victim from our church, by selling lunch and food. hehe it was yummy! Straight after that, I went to one of my school friend's birthday party. Straight after that, I went to play soccer with Fungus peeps. I soo noob now! Straight after that, I went to Gab's bday in the Booth. He really should have brought a towel, in fact, several! We tied him to a pole and creamed his butt, then egged/vegimited him! hehhe funny as!

Being the tank he is, he broke free like the hulk, and attacked several innocent/not so innocent victims. We all ran for our lives hehe. The funniest part was shaun goh trying to hide in the toilet cubical, so gab didn't find him, but Gab went in there, and he was cornered, thus god PWNED!

Ahh so busy day! i is dead tired!!

Monday:
Labour day is fun. It is tiring though!! this morning I went to my school friends birthday party. We went go karting hehehe. I like to drift! Hmm i am tired lol.

Now after this, I gottta go for another birthday party at Darkzone lol. It is -.- and :) at the same time i guess. *yawn* i wanna sleep! hahah anyway baii

yeh tell me if u wanna do devotionals :)

Ambassadors of Christ

2009-02-08T23:22:00.000-08:00

Ahhh Melbourne's weather has been sooo weird lately!! Bushfires last week, then really cold this week, it doesnt make sense lool. Yehhhh I feel sorry for all the peeps affected by the fires, and also one of my friend from my school- his house burnt down! gg!! Soz about that man

Well, as I was reading my devotionals, todays verse stood out to me. I was thinking about the way we present ourselves to other people. I reckon that the impression we give to others about Christianity, or even what society depicts it as- these all play a huge part in the way people see our God as.

As you know, every TV show or movie that has Churches in it, they all make it look sooooo boring and gay, but in reality, its not. We know that God is really great, so shoudln't we make him look good?

Peter 2 reminds us that people observe the way we live, and from that, make judgements about Christianity. Peter says, to be good representatives of Christ, we to live hounourable lives, do good works, to honour all people, and to fear God.

We were made to glorify God, so yaaahhh :)

One simple question: Do others see God in you??

Cya guys. oh yeh. Fungus launch this friday for 2009! woot

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

2009-01-26T18:45:00.001-08:00

Hey guys!
Wow today is the last day of my holidays, and i felt like blogging haha :D
The holidays have been sooo relaxing, as well as being productive surprisingly. Its been jam packed from the start to the end, and I am not too pumped for startign school haha!! i dunno why some of my friends actually can't wait to start school.... hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Well I was doing my 'quiet time', and this topic came into my head, and I felt liek sharing it.
I dunno wat the name for it is, so thats why the title of this post is 'hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm' haha!!

But I wonder what we do when we are stressed, or simply bored? Do we watch tv? Do we kill noobs on our computer game? Or do we read or listen to music? Well I dunno wat u do, but me, I probably killed noobs on my computer game. All these things are satisfying, but how long does that satisfaction last for? - not that long.

After you kill a noob, u feel like killing another one, then another and etc... Its almost like cigarettes or caffeine; you need more and more to be satisfied. I assume you probably know all this, or heard of it before, but the sheer purpose of this post is to remind us all that God satisfies our every hunger and thirst, and you'll never need anymore again.

I'm not just saying this cause its a fact, but I am saying this cause I've experienced it myself. When I spend tiem with God, it gives me this never-ending peace and joy in my heart- which I obviously don't get from killling noobs :)

Well anyway, God is GREAT!! I am not pumped for starting school to be honest, But I AM pumped for God to do GREATER things this year! Woot!! My equation:

Greater steps of faith = God doing GREATER things in your life!! booyaH!!

Bye shucks I got school tomorrow haha

Everything

2009-01-08T07:22:00.000-08:00

Hi guys!
I think this is my first post in Malaysia so far.
Lately, I been so busy that I really cant remember wat happened. I'll just highlight some main points:

(Btw just to warn u now, if u dun wanna read all of this, skip everything up to ‘New years resolutions”- tat is the most important bit :D )

Christmas:
I spent Christmas in Malaysia this year, which was quite different, as I am usually in Melbourne at that time of the year. haahh Malaysian people don't really celebrate Christmas too much- the end :)

Singapore!
I went to Singapore for the new year, to meet up with my cool cousins and relatives :D
We did so much stuff: from swimming, to annoying random old men, to even sharing our 'made up depression' with an innocent fast-food employee; what didn’t we do?

Penang!
For the last 4 days, I was in Penang with some of the Fungusoids. We stayed right next to the beach, so it was really cool!
Some stuff we did:
eat lah!
Jet-ski/parasailing
Swimming
more eat lah!
Crazy bargaining at pasa-malam.

heheheh i just came back today, and I am seriously cant wait to sleep again! loL!! Many days of sleep deprivation doesnt work out for me... :D

NEW YEARs RESOLUTIONS!

The word 'New Years Resolutions' could seem like a complete joke to some people- they never seem to be followed.

I don't really set any real 'new years resolutions, but rather I set goals when I feel like I need to, and they just come to me.

Well lately, I been thinking of what I want to achieve this year. I came up with this: for God to REALLY be the CENTER of my EVERYTHING.

I look back over the year, and it appears that I have met my own goals (thankfully!)
I know it is a really hard thing to keep God in the center of everything we do, all the time. I know I may not achieve it all this year, but I want to get a start on it, and see a change in my life.

Influence from friends or even the world can falter us from putting God FIRST in whatever we do, so it is quite a big struggle for many of us.

The song 'Everything' by Tim Hughes really made me wonder what it would be like for God the be our 'everything'.

Tim Hughes Everything Lyrics
Songwriters: N/A

God in my living
There in my breathing
God in my waking
God in my sleeping

God in my resting
There in my working
God in my thinking
God in my speaking

Be my everything
Be my everything
Be my everything
Be my everything

God in my hoping
There in my dreaming
God in my watching
God in my waiting

God in my laughing
There in my weeping
God in my hurting
God in my healing

Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
You are everything

Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
Be my everything

Honestly, I am really pumped for the new year, cause I wanna see God more even more in my life this year! Woot!!

Cya and God bless!

Oh yah, remember the Fungus Motto “God in the center of all we do” – see how important it is? :D

Msia!

2008-12-22T04:38:00.000-08:00

cya guys and god bless! woot msia!! hahah i gonna go really fat and tank.. like mr tool!

A lifestyle

2008-12-19T01:38:00.000-08:00

Hi peeps! Wow Christmas is just around the corner, and the year has gone by so quickly! I will be going back to Malaysia on the 23rd (Tuesday), so this will probably be my last blog here in Melb for the year lol.

Apart from that, this thought of 'Christianity as a lifestyle' has been popping into my head tonnes lately. I know all these things we learn in church may seem perhaps 'obvious' or you may understand it already. That is good for a start, but look at applying it to your life; do you live it out? That is the most crucial part of all that teaching, or its utterly useless.

You may have heard this a million times already, about Christianity being a lifestyle, but all I really want you to take out of this is to make sure that your faith really is your lifestyle.

It saddens me how many times we hear messages at Church, and when the week progresses on, we seem to have completely forgotten all that stuff. We can't be 'Friday or Sunday Christians'; we have to behave in a consistent manner. If we only appear to be 'good' on certain days (perhaps when church is), I could hardly consider you a Christian. I myself need to closely watch everything I do, and make sure it reflects my faith.

When I say 'being a lifestyle', I mean that obeying Christ should be part of our 'second nature' or something like that; meaning that we should be so used to doing good works, that it is a habit.

Don't be a 'Friday Christian, be an 'everyday Christian'! Booyah!

hehe woah the weather forecast recently has been really un-reliable; but thats Good! So looks like the weekend is gonna be ok weather for once! :)

Cya! Keep on shining for God!

Unfailing love

2008-12-15T02:24:00.000-08:00

Hiya guys =)

Before u read on, put ur speakers on full blast- i updated my playlist again hhaha.

I am sure we are often annoyed at when others let us down, and even if we let ourselves down at times. Of what I know of, there is only one person that I am sure will never let us down- that is God.

“There has not failed one word of all His good promise.” - 1 Kings 8:56

I still remember all the times that I endured mega-stress or worry. I was thinking it was nearly impossible to go through those situations and still have a positive outcome. I needed a miracle for things to work out well, and I got a miracle. Countless times, I was so stuffed, and I didn’t even notice that everything up to today has gone smoothly. I always put my trust and hope in God, and he has never failed me; his love is unfailing.

Every situation I was so worried about, God hid me safely under his comforting wings. He has NEVER EVER failed me- and I am sure about that. I was too worried that I didn’t even notice I was ok, and I really want to take this opportunity to give all the glory to God. He does indeed keep his promises. I just want to say, put ALL your faith and trust in God, and you definitely won’t regret it. Don’t doubt if he can pull you through the toughest of times, for it is pure faith that drives miracles. Try it, it works!

Oh yeh, for those who don’t read the bible much, I really recommend that you do. Because this verse says that God keeps his promises, so you would generally need to be aware of what his promises actually are before you will receive any of them. Know what God promises in your life, and claim them with faith.

Hope you are learning stuff from my blog =) Cya!

The Core of Christianity

2008-12-13T03:40:00.000-08:00

Heya guys!
Haha i've noticed that I am starting to blog way less than I originally did haha. At one point I blogged more than once a day! =o !

(btw i forgot if i already blogged about this. Well if i did, i may aswell do it again ^^ )
This is what we live for; what we hope to achieve- it is the core of Christianity. Personally, I believe that, as Christians, it doesnt really matter how 'pure and sin-less' we are at the current state. When I say that, I dont mean its ok to be constantly full of sin, cause at one point, everyone was a sinner.

Christianity is all about change- transforming into a more mature and obedient person. This is called spiritual growth. Spiritual stagnance is something we should really hope not to have. Each and every day should be an opportunity for us to get closer to God. Of couse this will not happen if we do not constantly seek him, and have a desire to grow deeper in faith.

Nearly all my years of my life, I was hardly growing matured at all. Even up to 13, I was still as childish as a little kid. I may have mentioned this before, but my walk with God suddenly took off at hardcore pace when I started to go to Fungus and serve in sunday school ministry. That was about when I was 14. Two years later, I can gladly say that I am still seeking God with a burning passion, this time brighter.

Man that kidshaper song 'fly' keeps popping into my head. I wanna fly. I seriously do. I want to lift in faith and touch the sky. I want to go deeper than I have before. I wanna soar; I wanna fly!

Well I am gonna go sleep now! Christmas is coming soon! woot!

God bless!

=)

2008-12-08T14:52:00.000-08:00

Woah! so much has happened so far on the holidays! A couple of birthdays, and other stuff I dun even remember anymore! haha!

Birthdays:

Happy 16th Birthday Darren!

Happy 18th Birthday Alvin!

Happy 15th Birthday Nessa!

Happy 15th Birthday Lin Li!

shucks did i miss anyone out? tada! its time for facebook birthday reminder! yay!

Oh yeh and happy 16th Birthday Harold in a few days time!

Weekend!

I gotta say the weekend was really busy. On friday I think I played soccer with some Fungus peeps. Oh yeh and poor Shaun had to watch us cause he is a cripple! xD

Sunday had to be my randomest day ever!
K firstly, we had church in the morning, and for some reallly realllllly weird reason, my bro thought it started at 10:30 instead of 9.30. lol so we waited for him to sleep for another hour, then we went to church :S !!! I walked into X-Cite one hour late, and luckily I didn't recieve too much beatings from the Kids pastor!!! *phew*!! yeh soz I was late :)

Church sermon!
I discovered something on Sunday- that taking notes during the message is really good! So i did :) The message was on the topic of Hope. It may seem un-important, but I realized how vital it is in Christianity. I learnt a couple of things:

Hope in todays terms is something like ‘possibility’. You say you ‘hope’ something will happen, but you are not exactly sure.

Hope in the bible’s terms is definite assurance. It clearly states that if you put your hope and trust in God, you will not be disgraced. I took notes of some bible passages too:

Psalms 146:5

"How blessed is he , whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God."

This says that if you put ur hope in God, you are secure and safe.

After Church:

After Church on Sunday, I decided to lose some weight and go running with the fit people at Rufly Lake Park. I think we ran something like 5km, and I gotta say it was pretty fun! I was ahead of the pack at first, then I pulled back. Hahha! Isaac (the tank) still overtook us, even though he took the longer route by! Woah!

Even after that mega long day, my bro and I invited some peeps over, so we kinda didn’t getta rest till midnight, but I wasn’t tired hehhe

This week is gonna be cool lol. On Friday I am going to Hamroll’s party, then playing soccer in the rain afterwards. Christmas is coming soon woot! On Sunday there is carols by glowstick-light at church! Hahah thats gonna be cool !

Anyway i gonna go for now. Cya guys!

FINALLY a post!

2008-11-21T20:53:00.000-08:00

Heya fellow weak-cow-ers :)
I think that had to be the longest time I hadn't posted in. hehhe. Recently, I was sick a couple of times, and also went to through a hc exam period. So yeh, that explains the dead blog hehe. Now I'll try to post regularly lol. Tonnes of stuff happened since I last blogged. I forgotten most of the stuff already, so I'll just include the stuff that my mega short-term memory can remember ^^

1. Asher! (the mini Qynnie!)

On the 4th of November, 2008..... a mini Qynnie was born! Gratz Sonja and Qynnie on ur cool baby! Wow look how cute Asher is! >>>>

2. Exams!

Well finally after tonnes of extreme study, my exams are finally over, and so is school!(kinda)
I hope I did ok on them lol. The funniest thing was my viscom exam, which the teacher marked in front of me lol. I got a B+, for not even studying, or considering studying at all! LOL! Rawr exam is scary! Yeh anyways, good luck for u guys who got exams. Work hard :) oh yeh i still got school camp next week lol. shucks :S

3. LAst Fungus '08

Yesterday was the last Fungus for the whole year til next year! oh no! haha. I gotta say Fungus has really had a huge impact on my life this year. I don't notice myself growing much in faith in the short term, but when I look back over the last year; I've seen a massive change in my walk with God. I've developed some new friendships, and i guess gotten to know others more. Its been a pretty fun year at Fungus lol.

Cya guys, i gonna go now. Hope u have a fun last few weeks of school!

Long weekend! yay!

2008-11-02T22:41:00.001-08:00

Hey Guys!

Its the Melbourne Cup long weekend! yay! Most of us get to miss school on monday and tuesday... so yeh :)

I been so slack lately, even though exams are coming in less than 2 weeks :S
Oh yeh good luck to those who are having exams soon too =)

‘Arse penalties’ are the coolest game now! Personally, I reckon it is more fun than soccer itself haha. We played after Fungus at the Bh base. If ‘arse penalties’ are played with the victim facing away from u, what is it called when they face towards u? Nut penalties? Dunno hehhe but thats what we did at first lol.

Sunday:
After church on Sunday I went to play badminton/table tennis, only cause it was a long weekend, otherwise work work lol :)
Oh yeh we went to La Porchetta in Box Hill for dinner later. The boss there is so annoying lol. (yash Keean I dunno whats with him against us haha)

Yeh I din get any work done yet, so I better start some revision and other projects -.-
Its kinda annoying when we get projects during exam time lol. No time to revise! ahhH!!

Well anywyays cya guys!!

God bless!

oh btw how u meant to change font colour? black looks bad hhaha.
and i accidently clicked the spellcheck button, and 'Keaan' doesn't appear to be in the dictionary :)

Faithfulness

2008-10-27T00:21:00.000-07:00

Hey guys!

Its been a pretty busy and random week haha.
Well at least i am finally off anti-biotics, but I think I am starting to get sick again :(
hehhee oh yeh btw spring is so annoying! *sneeze* *my eyes!!* :D

Soem pretty funny stuff have happened to me during the past week at school lol.
Firstly, i was walking at school, and I yawned, then a fly flew in my moutH!! AHH!!
Thats the kind of stuff u see in movies. I didn't know it was actually possible in real life... :)

And today, I 'swallowed' my chewie! I feel sick now haha. Well I alwaays eat chewing gum in the morning, andd I usually keep it in my mouth, but today, the gum dissolved into mini pieces, and I accidently swallowed it! GG!!! Dont buy apple flavour extra gum- it is baDD!!! U die if u eat! ahH!

Fungus:
Praise and Worship was really different this week at Fungus. The 'Praise' part is generally thanking God for stuff, so what we did was to pass the mic around to everyone and they thanked God for what wanted to thank him for.

I really love it how Fungus encourages us to be more genuine with our relationship with God. Its made a huge impact on my life. Thanks Qynnie!

One quality I really admire is faithfulness. Our God is faithful- regardless of who we are, or what we've done. In Chris Tomlin's 'Your Grace is Enough', the first line goes ""Great is your faithfulness oh God; you wrestle with the sinners heart"

God doesn't give up on us just because we are sinners, but he wrestles with our hearts so that we can have a second chance to repent. I try to be as faithful as i can to other people, cause i believe it is a really important quality to have.

Qynnie's 30th! Wohoho!!

On Saturday the 25th, Qynn turned 30! wow! double digits now! hhehe. We went to play soccer on Sunday after church, then went for dinner at La Porchetta Box Hill later.

Soccer:
The weather was warm on sunday, so soccer was pretty fun hehe. Sunday is my unco day, so yeh.. I was keeper for a fair bit of the time. it was fun :) its funny how our team (a pretty noob one) was on like a 4 game winning streak, including defeating Qynns team in like 1 min.

La PorchettA:

I didnt expect dinner to take so long, and I had quite a bit of hw i was planning to do. We ate a buffet dinner hehe. It was pretty cool. I just ate full on pizza lawl.

We played a pizza eatign game after.
There were 4 teams. They were Altitude with darren, Fungus leaders, Fungus boys, And Fungus girls.

The results were pretty surprising. Fungus leaders came first, then the Fungus girls (wow), Fungus boys, then Altitude peeps. hhehee u eat so slow!!

The loser was meant to dance in front of randoms at the restaurant, but we wernt allowed to causr the owner of the restaurant is a homo.... So instead, they went to the middle of the road and harrassed oncoming cars lol.

HAppy Birthday Qynnie! Ur the awesomest youth pastor ever!! (i am being serious!)

Well guys i gonna go and sleep now ehehe. I got a flu again and mega hayfever lol :)
byeeee

2.5 in 1 blog :D

2008-10-18T04:14:00.000-07:00

Hi peeps!
Soz for my laze at blogging, so here is a blog :)

1. bahhaha
As u might not have noticed, i been fairly sick for the past week. I had a flu and missed like 3 days off school lol. That made me feel guilty! >.< Anyway, I still sick, but I thank God for not letting me get any worse. Read on :)

2. FunGus!
There was soemthing abotu Fungus yesterday that stood out to me. That was praise and worship. So many times we see people who worship lead just by 'singing a song.' What definately stood out to me was Isaac; leading with a heart that sincerely loves God. That is what leadership is; setting a good example for us.

The topic of the message was salvation. To summarise it- We are saved by our belief in God. Faith without deeds is indeed dead; as how can we say we believe if we can't back it up with deeds? It is also by God's grace and love for us that we are saved. Pretty simple.

3. Jerusha and Mr Tools bday!

Happy Birthday Isaac and jerusha!!! lol! Ur the coolest twins I know :)
Today we went to their bday party by the beach. Pretty nice weather I gotta admit.
From swimming in jellyfish-infested waters, to completely owning Isaac and others, the day was really fun.
lol when we first got to the water, all of us were to chicken to even go anywhere near there. That was coz there were jellyfish! eww! They are fat! eww!
lol after like ages of standign near the waters edge with our jaws wide open, some of us finally decided to just jump in. The water was surprisingly cold, since it aws so sunny lol. I think I only bumped into one about two times :) it felt eww.

anyway mr brain doesnt seem to be functioning properly -.- i cant think of wat to write
Yeh before we left, we planned to do tonnes of meanie stuff to Isaac :)
We had our chilli and oyster sauce to put in his hair, eggs to put down his pants (eew!), shavign cream to 'cream' him with, and flour to chuck at him lol.

We creeped up to him while he was playing volleyball, took him down, then unleashed our stuff on him lols. His hair was like all red and slimy, and he looked like a snowman at the beach with all that shaving cream on him hahha. I was the person responisible for the oyster sauce mess, and I accidently hit on of my fellow comrades; mr goh, while wildly shaking my bottle bahaha. Soz man! yeh all the and around that area was totally red lmao. It looks like someone got shot there...

After Isaac washed off all that stuff, things went a little out of hand- nearly every innocent bystander got creamed! lol! Luckily I wasnt a victim of the creaming lol. I feel sorry for Isaac with those eggs down his pants lmao- i bet they dont feel to comfortable!

After that I went back the end :)

Cya peeps. I am really tired now lol.. cya!

School!

Hi peeps!!
School is starting on Monday! oh noO! the worst part is daylight saving the day before school! ayaHH! I lost my prechus sleep :( Oh that reminds me to start my hw lol. hehehe. any smart people wanna volunteer? haha

But i gotta say, these holidays have been pretty refreshing and fun at the same time :)

Yesterday at Fungus we talked about reading the Bible i thinkk
well in our discussion group, i was actually surprised that not many people read the bible reguarly, and some have never actually read it at all! woah! I wonder how they survive lol.
Some people see reading the bible as a chore; but it reality, it is really beneficial. Oh sHUCKS! i just glanced at the weather forecast for monday on my taskbar. gg its 13 raining -.-

Well back to topic:
Personally, i dont see how we can grow in faith or extend our relationship with him without God's word. Like yeh if u dun read the bible, you wouldnt know what God expects of you, and what is right or wrong etc. When u go to church and stuff, the pastor guy basically takes out the verses for you and explains it. That is good; cause its like readign the bible.

But why then should WE read the bible ourselves aswell?
Firstly, cause wat the pastor says may not be extirely relevant to your life during the many situations you go through. So by readign the bible yourself, God can speak to you all the time, and entirely to you.

Yeh we were going through some discussion of why some of us didnt read the bible. I remember kimmy said if it was liek a glossy magazine, she would read it. lol. I begun to wonder if my blog was a pain to the eye? I better start putting in some pics lol. That might help ur eyes not to hurt too much.

But about the bible reading thing: I find reading the bible 'food to the soul'. For me, if i dont read the bible, something in my life seems missing. You can learn heaps of stuff from God's own word, so put some time aside, and welcome to the wonderful world of hardcore bible reading ^^

Here is a pic i found. its really funny haha

Well anyways enjoy school/uni guys! Rememebr to put god in the center of everything you do, cause he deserves more than all we can give him. God bless!

FUNGUS IS BETTER THAN FGA KIDS! lol

2008-09-28T04:16:00.000-07:00

Sup peeps!

Holidays are nearly over hee. yeh and today was a pretty funny day. Qynn and his evil Fungus leaders challenged the FGA kids leaders to a soccer match hhee. We played indoor at Whitehorse Aquatic. For those who cbs readign more, i can summarise it in one sentance; we got owned.
lol it was pretty funny, coz they had the 'calve man' Isaac Ho. hahha. we were no match for his huge calves lol.

Well their team was made of Qynn, Zimmer, Pete, Choong, BanzoO, Mr Tool.
Ours consisted of Nick, Shaun, Daniel, Joshie Wawa, Keeann, TIm and MEEE! haha
I think we lost like 7-14? well something like that. We got gged hha. Now we gotta wear t'shirts next week saying 'Fungus is better than FGA Kids.'

To be honest, that is not even a punishment lol. Its a reward ^^ Coz we are in FUngus anyway.. so yeh lol. hehee i scored 1 goal. I cant play indoor for some reason.. I think its cause my shoes that are so called 'indoors' cant even grip the ground lol. Cause of that, I cant sprint or stop running without completely sliding lol. Well at least those shoes are good for shuffling ^^ coz really slippery gaahaha

well yeh, pretty cool day haha. Today's church message was really good cause it is relevant to so many of us 'Christians' lives. I din take notes, but go to fga webbie i think. There got the powerpoint. It was about the Wise vs Foolish minds.

That made me think of something. Wise (FGA kids) vs FOolish (FUNGUS! WOOT!)
lol of course i kidding hhee.

Well anyways, bye peeps. Enjoy ur week, and god bless!

CIA day and teachers meeting! ^^

2008-09-25T18:23:00.000-07:00

So hi peeps!

Lol yesterday was a pretty packed day aswell as really hot. Well yeh it was CIA day and also my kids leader teacher's meeting.

CIA DAY:
Cia day was pretty fun actually lol. Umm most of the cia peeps came tO the box hill base, and from there we went to box hill gardens for a picnic ^^
lol thanks to Kim and Michelle for all their hard work in organising the day. It was much appreciated :D
Cept i wanna contribute more to cia and fungus in the future. And yeh Michelle was cookign eggs at the office, and u might guess wat comes next lol; the whole place smelt like EGGS!! ahahahahh!!!
I could smell it from the other side of the place lol :)

Well for lunch we had the 'stinky eggs' that michelle made, some tuna, ham, cheesEE! ahaha
It was so windy aswell!! ahh my hair got all stuffed up haha. But at least someone like Jared din go, or he will be like AAHH!HH my HAIR!
Also the sun was burning hot lol. But it was still fun :) I forgot to pack water lol = mega dehydration!
We playeda couple of games, including booting all the little kiddies of the playground ^^
lol u know those flying fox things? well we were inspired some kids playing this game involving 2 peeps full on kicking the thing to each other at opposite ends lol. After the parents were staring at us open-jawed. lol...
Well we also playeda couiple of silly but fun games after. They were a catwalk involving using newspaper as a costume, and also a weird tellign-story game, where everyone had to contribute 1 sentance etc. having hughbert in the group, you wont wanna know wat happened in the story lol... So yeh, go to micheeleee wong's blog to see it haha.
We also played a feeding doughnut game after. This changed my opinion on doughnuts forever lol. My advice: doughnuts are EVIL!!

After the cia meeting i stayed at box hill for dinner until the teachers meeting lol. I ate way too much!! Tnx for SOnja who gave me a gloria jean's voucher :) I got a large cookies and cream which i shared with herrol (glowing calves boi). After that i went to Blue Hills and ate more!!! ayahH! My tummy was so big that i couldnt see my toes no more! (ghaha jk!).

Yeh everyone was late for teachers meeting lol. They all thought it started at 7.30 when it really started at 7. During praisea nd worship i could feel all my food bouncing with me lol. But i gotta say, it was a really bold decision for aud to do P&W with the lights on. Keep it up Aud! :)
But yeh, we honestly dun need a perfect atmosphere to worship God. Real worship comes when we put everything around us aside, and really focus on God. THere is nothign i love m,ore than seeign a burning passion for God in someone's life. Cmon worship God regardless what others think of you; coz our god really deserves our all.

Pastor Qynn gave the message last night. It was about the '1 percenters'; those who do all the hard work behind the scenes, who generally dont get any credit for it. You may be someone secretly organising a Fungus rally or something, etc. But you know, people around you may not recognise your contricution, but God sees every single thing you do, and will reward you for your deeds.

DOnt worry if you dont get praised for tyhe good things you do. DOnt look to please; look to please God.

Well yeh, i better get going now hehe. Bye peeps, and God blesS! Keep ur fire burning for GOd!

Kidshaper- Worship

2008-09-23T03:32:00.000-07:00

Well yeh Luke Harris was the guy giving this message. Pretty cool eh? btw if u dont know who he is, he is the kids pastor of the Brisbane Church; the ones who did the albums "All of my days" and "Saturate"

Well to worship, you don't need to be a good singer or instrument player; all u need to do is worship from the heart. Soz if i repeat a lot of the stuff on my blog cause i uploading my notes from Kidshaper, and most of this stuff i already covered anyway. But yeh :)

Practice makes perfect. To be a good worshiper, do it everyday in your own life, whether it be worshiping God in the good deeds u do, or by singing praises to him etc.

We shouldn't actually need cool music or guitars to worship God, cause that stuff just sets the atmosphere of worship. It helps us get used to worshiping him. That is why free worship pwns. (please excuse my absurd language, cause i am taking it from my notes :D )

To make worship sessions succesful in a minestry includes choosing appropriate songs for ur sessions. Once u get people to God, he takes on the responsibility. He knows wat u need and hunger, so seek a breakthrough each day.

Fungus/ Kidshaper

2008-09-23T03:17:00.000-07:00

Yeh i gonna put up my kidshaper notes thingy.

Well before that, last weeks Fungus was pretty cool. There was something about the message that struck me. I think it was about being a good works machine for God. Being a Christian is meaningless and useless if we don't live out what we say. In each cell group we also made commitments for the week, of something that would do good works for God. We were assigned a 'stalker' to make sure u got it done and stuck to the commitment lolol. My job this week is to stalk Mr Tool.

Well i made a commitment to do the dishes for my mum the entire week. So far, I have actually remembered to do so lol; coz I forget stuff really easily hehehe.

Well yeh now for the kidshaper stuff:

I went to a seperate session called 'Personal Breakthrough'. Here was some of the stuff:

Keys to personal breakthrough-

1. Forgiveness
We were forgiven so that we can forgive. Unforgiveness actually chains the grievance upon yourself. God sets us free from burdens, and if we are unforgiving towards others, the burden stays with us.

... wow where did the resst of my notes go lol....

2. Repentance/ Confession
God will only forgive u if u humble yourself before him and admit u sinned, and make a commitment to turn from your evil ways. Once u are forgiven by God, don't turn back to sin; stay away from it. If u can't resist the temptation, remove the temptation; simple.
As humans, we often sin because we don't even know it is a sin. The devil tries to say it is ok doing wrong. Well it is really dangerous if we don't even know wat we doing is a sin; just like unbelievers, they have no idea that many of the things they do are wrong. Thats why we needa reach out to them.\

Ok now i actually can't find my other notes from the session. Maybe i just didn't take any cause i was sleeping during the sermon? (ahh Sonja don't kill meeee!!)

Well yeh thats the end of this post then :)

Bye peeps i will upload more later!

Holidays lol

2008-09-23T03:10:00.000-07:00

Hi peeps!
Its holidays already! yay! Well nothing much happened during last weeks holidays. This week is a little more busy. Well today i went to Victoria Gardens cinema. Well there are no movies that i actually like on at the moment, so we had to watch wall-e. lol.... It was not as bad as i thought lol. Well the start was really boring, but it was really funny later hehe. It baggs fat people so bad! hhaha well i guess its a little tight.... but funny! xD
Tomoz i going to melb show lol. I not gonna waste my cash on those 'two dollar quality' showbags anymore lol. They mega ripp off hehhe. Bertie beetles are so cool! :) i like bertie beetles lmao

Well also this week got quite a lot of church stuff on. Like on thurs, cia day and teachers meeting. Friday got fungus i guess. And saturday got teachers apreciation lunch hehe.

I done like no homework these holidays. I gotta read the oddessy -.- Its got Homer in it which only makes it worse lol. Well i guess thats why spark notes was invented ^^

Lol i realized that i still havnt uploaded my kidshaper notes! i better get them done lol.

Bye peeps!!! god bless ^^

:)

2008-09-17T03:56:00.000-07:00

Hi peeps! soz for my lazy-ness for not blogging in ages hahhaa. I kinda forgot what i was gonna blog about lol.

Yeh i am on holidays atm so I got tonnes of time yet I dont seem to be blogging too much :)
Term 3 is over for me, and nearly over for the rest of you. Its amazing how quick time passes isn't it? lol

But ya my last few weeks have been pretty normal i guess. School even on the last day seems like a routine. This makes me think if my worship to God, and the life I am living for him is like a routine too. When we do stuff over and over again for ages, we just get into the habbit of doing it; usually without much thought. I gotta admit a couple of times during my walk with God, that I have been serving him as a routine. Like when I go to Fungus or church; its just 'another week'. When we do praise and worship; we sometimes lift our hands to him out of routine also.

Well ya know, God's mercies are new each day, and his grace towards us is always new. We should rock up to chuch or youth-group with a fire in our hearts, and be excited about what God can do in our lives everyday. Christianity is not boring, and change cannot occur if we do not constantly aim for new heights. If you aim for something, it will be achieved, and if you keep on aiming for the same thing, nothing will happen; your life will be the same all the time; which really isn't what God wants us to do with our lives.

Yeh I think last sunday at church, the message somehow stood out to me. It was about the loving heart vs the decietful heart. I noticed that some aspects of my life were not powered by pure love. Here is something I got from my bible: (its in more relevant language)

Love is willing to wait and not demanding

Love keeps on being friendly to those who are not friendly back

Love isnt jealous, and doesnt hate others

Love does not brag

Love is not stuck up (proud)

Love doesnt disclude others

Love does not insist in getting all the credit for their actions

Love is not easily angered

Love doesnt hold grudges against others

Love looks out for others as much as themselves

Love keeps on trusting in God even if things may not go your way

Love doesn't give up cause something goes wrong

Love makes sacrifices

Hheehee. Notice how the word 'sin' has the letter 'I' in the center of it? Yeh basically self-centeredness is the opposite of what we should be doing; which is to love God and others as nuch as ourselves. THats why Fungus is so cool, cause it is Fun G Us (God in the center of all we do lol) Hhehheee I gonna upload my kidshaper stuff soon lols.

Well cya for nows! Holidays! weeEE

Kidshaper- Day 2, session 1

2008-09-01T03:40:00.000-07:00

Yo peeps! Kidshaper was not very long ago when I think about it. I remembered that i was gonna post my notes up here, so here it is; Day 2, session 1!

I forgot the actual topic of the message, but i post my notes up. Please exxcuse my crappy English and confusing, random, and sometimes irrrelvant content.

"Don't look at your past mistakes; fix them, and keep moving forwards!"

The devil tries to remind you of your guilt and sin, but God doesn't; he gives you a chance for a fresh new start whenever you repent to him. Also try not to judge others by their past, coz whats in the present is what matters. Christianity is all about turning from a sinful life, to a godly life; I am sure we were all stuffed up sinners at one point.

"Everyone is born the same. Others build better than others."

Everyone is born as an innocent child. From there some make wise choices, and succeed, and some make foolish decisions, thus screwing up their life. Every single person has the potential to be a great person, but of course that is not easy. Discipline is the key. So that means that you can be an awesome man/woman of God. Just build your foundation on Christ, then you can achieve great things.

PArt 2 of session 1

haha this message was by Setphanie Sewell. lol she is pretty funny hehee. Well ya the message she gave was mainly on being alligned with God. She said:

Align yourself with God, and not yourself. This could be rephrased as "walk in God's will, and not your own" Part of being a Christian is 'taking up your cross every day', which is practically that stuff about walking in God's will.

Don't be partially alligned with God, cause u will tend to drift further away from him. She also mentioned that we should honour God with our heart, and not only our lips.

Well thats all the notes I got for that session lol. Maybe cause I was sleeping during the message? Woops now Sonja is gonna spank me as a punishment lol. I better run! Bye peeps!

Fungus Crazy Sex Rally!

2008-09-01T03:25:00.000-07:00

Hey peeps! Soz for my lazyness recently, so now i decided to blog :)
On friday it was the Fungus crazy Sex rally! I invited a couple of my friends there, and even though not many could make it for some 'suspicious' reasons, I am sure there was a seed that was placed into their lives that could grow in the future. I also found out some pretty interesting stuff aswell; that a couple of my friends were already Christians, so I was pleased to discover that. I wish that they would not be so quiet about their faith, coz face reality; our God is real, and he is the answer to salvation. I will make sure I don't keep it to myself either. One thing I can assure you; you're not gonna have any regrets if u tell ur friends about God. Firstly, if they dump u cause ur a Christian, they not a real friend right? So if someone did that to me, i really cbs being their friend if they can't accept my beliefs. But yeh anyway, my friends don't treat me any differently when I told them I was a christian, and i hope urs don't too.

The rally was not as packed as we expected, and most of the peeps there were from Fungus already, but I am sure it wasn't a waste of an event, cause I know the message from the awesome speaker really convicted the hearts of some, and changed the lives of others. To be honest, I really enjoy helping with rallies, and I was a backstage dude as usual ^^

Also something that came into my mind is leadership. Me; I am a sunday school kids leader, and a newly appointed CIA gang leader hehee. I realized that thats a tonne of responsibility, and I definately should not take it lightly. I can't teach stuff if I can't even live it myself. So I made a commitment to really put Christ in the center of ALL I do. (Btw thats the fungus motto hehe)

Yay today is the first day of spring! hehehehe. No more cold weather, meaning no more getting sick too much! yay! Well I gonna post my kidshaper stuff up as i promised. Bye peeps! Also only 2 weeks of school left! yeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

FLY!

2008-08-25T23:49:00.000-07:00

Hi peeps! I learnt tonnes of stuff at Kidshaper last week hehe. I wanted to share about what I picked up from the conference. This blog is about one of the sessions that i went to:

The Kidshaper theme this year was 'fly'. The first session was on wednesday night. It was about soaring to new heights. God did not make us to live normal lives; we were made to 'fly'. Climb to new altitudes and levels in your walk with God. We should not be content of how pure our lives are, but we should be aiming to constantly grow in faith and get closer to God. This reminds me of the 'Highlife' theme for the fungus/101 camp. It was really something we should remember each adn every day.

Is God in control of your life, or is it yourself that makes all the decisions? Do you walk in his will or your own? That is one part that the precher mentioned. When we become a Christian, we are meant to take up our cross everyday. This means that we die to ourselves for the sake of Christ.

Also the precher mentioned somethign that was also not particuarly relevant to the topic, but i wanted to include it too. Soemtiems we do what God wants us to do, but we don't do it the best we can.

Eg: God wants you to talk to your friend about him. You go up to them and breifly tell them then walk off.

We did waht God asked us to do, but we did not make a proper effort. God sees your attitude towards all the thigns that you do. He looks at the inside, not the outside.

"We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us" - That is absolutely true. I noticed that society tends to depict Christianity as really boring and strict. They thing God is one who condems and punishes us all the time. I am a sure we all know that is not the case, so take a step of faith and boldness and tell your friends about God. The Crazy Sex Rally is comign up soon. As i mentioned before; an awesoem opportunity to invite ur horney friends! xD

Yeh a main point of the sermon was also faith. The bible states that without faith, it is IMPOSSIBLE to please god. That is where he responds and miracles start to happen. That also coems back to a phrase 'the just shall live by faith'. If u understand it, that is cool, cause i dont hehe.

Don't doubt God; he is real, and we know it. Soar to new levels of faith each day, and strive to get closer to God.

Bye peeps! God bless!

Btw, nice weather to today eh? And sprign in 1 week! booyaHHH!

Here I am, humbled by your majesty.......

2008-08-23T22:46:00.000-07:00

Hi peeps!
Surprisingly i am not tired from the whole week filled with Alpha retreat and Kidshaper lol. Today I went to church and we compared a humble vs proud mind. Well i guess we know it is better to be humble than proud.

Humble yourself before God humbles you hehee. Cause it won't be a nice experience if he does so. I remembered an awesoem song by Delirious. It is called Majesty (here I am)

Here I am humbled by your Majesty
Covered by your grace so free
Here I am, knowing I'm a sinful man
Covered by the blood of the Lamb

Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life
The greatest sacrifice

Majesty, Majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
Empty handed, but alive in your hands
Majesty, Majesty
Forever I am changed by your love
In the presence of your Majesty

Here I am humbled by the love that you give
Forgiven so that I can forgive
Here I stand, knowing that I'm your desire
Sanctified by glory and fire

Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life
The greatest sacrifice

I really love the first line, and also the one where it says 'forgiven so that I can forgive'. It is really true. God forgives us so that we can forgive. God loves us so that we can love. God is merciful to us so that we can alsio be merciful to others. God shows us grace so that we can show grace to others. God really wants us to treat others how he has treated us.

Now I gonna go :) Bye peeps!!

Kidshaper 08!

2008-08-22T22:32:00.000-07:00

Hiya peeps!
I just came back from kidshaper today. yay! I gotta say, it was definately something that took my walk with god to a new level, and also equipped me up with heaps of advice and inspiration to be a leader at sunday school and elsewhere.

I believe God really wants me to be more of an influence into other people's lives, and many people have told me that. I completely agree. To be honest, where my walk with God really took off was cause of some of the really positive influeneces around me. I want to be like that to others lives. Kidshaper was a conference about leading. I will blog about each of the sessions in the next few days, but i just wanted to say that the conference in general took me to the 'highlife. Highlife camp was awesome, and definately an appropriate and important name.

I always want to take my walk with God higher each day. I am content of what I have and what God has given me, but I am not content with my walk with God. None of us should be. God doesn't want us to live just normal lives, he wants us to FLY!; to be extraordinary.

The peeps that came for the whole conference were Sonja, Audrey, Mister Goh!, Samuel Chee, Me, Nick, Rachel Lee, June and her friend. We stayed in a apartment in Richmond, fairly close to the the church we went to. I gotta say, the webbie of the apartments looked pretty pro, but when we got there, we didn't get a run for our money lol..

The place looked good on the outsidem but in the inside, you noticed many flaws and problems. Eg, i wanted to open the bathroom window; it fell out. lmao!! Oh yeh, Nick borrowed Pete's car for the few days. We totally stuffed it up so bad! lmaOO! Both the roller doors are pratically falling out and can barely close, and the boot can't shut properly either lol. We also rolled his car in the muddy Richmond AOG carpark. Lol don't go for a car wash cause if u do, the water will coem in through the massive gap in the door loolll.

And also, my diet is so gg. Last week I had the alpha retreat. there I ate so much junk food, and this week, i think i ate fast food like 5 times? I usually have it like only once a few weeks. hheee..

Events and conferences like these are not designed to restore our lost passion for Christ, but to soar higher than before; to take us to a new level.

Bye peeps! I tired lol. Cyaz! I will blog more about the messages soon!

Alpha Thingy!

2008-08-16T22:27:00.000-07:00

Hi peeps! I just came back from the Alpha retreat today lol. It was a fun time aswell as an awesome experience with God. The peeps that came were Qynn, Vernis, Kim, Jean, Samuel Chee, Jared (aka mister Goh!) Hughbert, Hugh, Harold and myself. We went to this place which I already forgot where it is, but it was about 45 mins away.

Recently we were discussing about the holy spirit and what he does. It can give us many powerful gifts like healing, wisdom and speaking in tongues etc.... At the retreat, we were given an awesome and priceless opportunity to experience some of it ourselves! We were given the chance to take the offer of speaking in tongues.

Firstly, it is faith and trust that allows these gifts to be properly accepted. I learnt that every christian has the holy spirit livign inside them, but not everyone is filled with the holy spirit. Sound confusing?- I was confused at first lol. Well it is actually pretty simple; the spirit is living inside us, but we all have different gifts and powers from it.(being filled with the holy spirit)

Well ya, i really wanted to take my faith to a new level, and the gift of tongues is something that does that. When we pray, we may soemtimes pray for the wrong thing, or we may be stuck for ideas or words, but when we speak in tongues, the holy spirit is really speaking through you, using what is in your heart. So you dun really need to know wat to pray, just let the holy spirit do tha talkin' (*american gangsta accent*)

I took the opportunity to learn how to speak in tongues. It is like a baby talking for the first time; you dont really know how to talk properly. At first, I struggled to get words out of my mouth, cause I really din know any words. The peeps who knew how to speak in tongues prayed for those who didn't know how. After perserverence and trust, I managed to roll some words out of my mouth. I din know wat I was saying, but I just let the holy sprit move through me. The gift of tongues is simmilar to any other language; you need to practice and use it often for it to expand. So those who have the gift of tongues, remember to practice and use it during your time with God so it doesn't go out of your head.

We had some extreme worship at the retreat too- using Kim Ooi's laptop :)
The reasome why I loved worship there is cause it was sincere. No matter where we are, we can worship God the same. We may not be at church, we may not be at Fungus, and we may not even have proper music, but we can still worship God with our all. Actually, we dun even need to sing to the lyrics if we don't want to, just worship God however you want to. Even if your voice is really bad, just shout it out lol. i am sure we would respect u even more if u did that, cause it shows that you worship God regardless of anything.

it is always satisfying seeing people on fire for God, but i know it is hard to keep that passion burning. Events like camps and retreats are designed to bring your faith to a new level, so when you go back to your normal life, make it somewhat different to your usual self. Take a new step as time progresses, even if it may be only a tiny step. Oh, and talking about that, go and invite some of your friends to the upcoming Fungus rally lol. If we step out in boldness and faith, I trust God will show up in the situation. Just show them the title of the rally; I am sure that will stir something up within them ^^

Well ya, the retreat was a really fun time too lol. A few of us cooked breakky and dinner too :)
For dinenr we cooked spaghetti, and for breakky, hash browns, sausages, scrambled eggs and bacon. hehehee...... I hardly slept last night lol. Olympics on tv, hyper kids in the room; its pretty hard to sleep lol. I got kidshaper this week too lol. I am so gonna be really tired after the week hhee. Well peeps, i gonna sleep now. Bye!!

Highlife !!

2008-08-13T02:35:00.001-07:00

Heya guys! I was meant to post this ages ago but i kinda forgot lol. Well ya this is my post on the Fungus/101 highlife camp!

When i went to camp, i had a feeling that God was gonna move powerfully in the lives of those who had a passion for him. Even before camp, he reminded me that he was an awesome and powerful God. Like heaps of peoples were not able to come to camp for many reasons, but were suddenly allowed to come only just before it started! Prayer is powerfuL! lol...

I walked into camp with a pretty bad cold; i pretty worn down and tired. I decided to lift everything up to God, and trusted that he would heal me. By the next day i was healed and could worship God without any setbacks! Praise God!

A personal encounter with God is what we all need, and I really wanted God to touch me at this camp. I wasn't content with the life I am living, and I wanted to get closer to God. On the last night (yesterdaY) it was during a worship session where I encountered him. There was an alter call for forgiveness and to make commitments to live for God in our daily lives. We went hardcore and the pastor asked us to confess our sins in front of everyone and ask for forgiveness. This was for those who wanted to. I responded to it, and confessed for putting other things in front of God. It was destroying my walk with him, and the Holy spirit convicted me to do something about it. I chose to quit Battlestations and every game or thing that causes my relationship with God to be wrecked. I just deleted the facebook app just a sec ago :)
(btw this was originally written on July 5th; day after camp. I am just finishing the post lol)

In the bible, God says: "If my people humble themselves before me and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and forgive them." That is the only way we can be forgiven. Some may think that just asking God to forgive you will allow them to be forgiven. You actually need to also try your best not to do it again. The first part of humbling yourself before him is pretty much admitting you have sinned.

The camp in general really restored my passion for God. I made commitments to keep that fire for him burning in my life even as I left camp. I wanted Highlife '08 not to be simply an event I rocked up to and had a great time and left still as the same person, but I wanted it to change my life forever. With an awesome camp in the presence of God and an atmosphere of worship; it is pretty easy to be on fire for Christ. When we leave there and go back to our homes and normal life full of temptation and distraction, it is really easy to drift away from God. I pray that i will always put him before anything else in my life. Those of you who made commitments at the camp, remember to live your life for God alone, and to make it an act of worship to him.

I will cover soem aspects of camp:

Food:
Bring instant noodles man! SImply cause u may not like the food there, and you certainly dont get fed enough there lol. Kevin Chang kept on saying "this food tastes like *%#%!!" lol man... the camp guys could hear him saying that :) Oh ya i rememebr the hash brown eating contest onthe last day, between him and me lol.... i think he dropped out :) lol everyone woke up late that day so i pratically cleaned up all the food ^^

Cabins:
I met soem interesting dudes in my cabin. I got to know some better, and met some new guys.
There was this dude in particular called James who was obsessed with porn/chicks..... =.="
I could see his walk with God was pretty distant. I prayed for him and asked God to change him. I also noticed that if you want something to happen; fight for it! In this situation, the way I would fight for it was to really put some effort into telling him more about Christ. As i mentioned before, we had a forgiveness session. I was pleased and surprised to see that he surrendered to God and asked him to forgive him for his darkest of sins. I walked up to him and told him that for God to forgive him, he needed to humble himself before him (which he already did), and to turn from his ways. I later prayed for him. I already saw God moving in that guy's life.

Sessions: speaker was pastor Michael Raj. He was Chris' youth pastor back in Malaysia. He was a truly anointed man of God. The sessions were packed awesome worship and preaching. In one of the sessions we were asked to imagine what my walk with god will look like in the future.

Firstly, looking back over the years, my life was in the same position for years; pretty much far away from Christ. It is only over the last year or 2 that I have made a commitment to take up my cross and walk in Gods will, and not my own. I still hope to be more passionate for Christ and be closer to him in the next few years.

Another awesome bit of camp was the last nights campfire. We could barely light the flame at first, but then after a while we got a few huge fires burning! My shoes got burnt on the fire hehee. I want to add photos but i dunno how to lol :)
And also on the last night, we had the skits from each 'family'. I was in browning family. The most funny bit was Kevins 'R Rated' version of Umbrella :) He started going overboard, which also lost his group marks! hahahha!

Yeh i can blog much more but i wanna summarise everything pretty short; God is great! hehhe. It was an awesoem camp. I just noticed i have an english essay due tomorow. I better get going lol. Bye peeps!

Amazing Grace

2008-08-09T21:31:00.001-07:00

Heya peeps! Hehe i cbs blogging much lately, but i blogging now :) The last week has been pretty fun, cept for half the week I had a pretty bad flu. So many people seem to be getting sick lately lol.... Today was a somewhat different day at church. Well everything was the same routine, but it felt different. Sunday school was really good today, cause more kids came than usual, and it was a pretty fun and satisfying lesson.

The message that the speaker today gave at church was really hardcore (in a good way). It was about grace i think. We are given god's grace so that we can have a second chance. We are not given grace so that we can continue to live sinful lives. I guess some take it for granted. I am tired lol. i wanna sleep :)

Bye peeps!

Alpha and Fungus :)

2008-08-02T04:59:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone!! Soz for not blogging in a while cause I kinda slacked off a little lol.

Each week at Alpha i learn heaps of stuff. So if u want to know more about Christianity, try coming along to Alpha! This week we learnt about witnessing. I kinda forgot exactly wat was shared, but I will try to summarize it in my words:

Witnessing is sharing your faith with others. There are many ways you can witness to others. Some ways are better for some people. This could be telling them about the love of Christ, or simply living a Godly life; where words are sometimes not necessary. But before you do any of this, make sure the life you are living really does reflect the true image of God. For example:

If you live a life where you always tell 'white lies', and then tell your friends about God, you are creating a false impression on what a Christian is. Well of course we all sin, but this refers to those who continuously live the same, sinful life no matter how much they know it is wrong.

That reminds me of something I wanted to say lol. Sinners honestly don't bother me, it is those who claim to be a Christian and know very well that what they do is sinful, but still do it. Even the most godly people were once sinful, but they chose to turn from their sinful ways.

I think these were the steps of witnessing:

1. Live a good example
2. Share the gospel with others
3. Keep them in prayer, and for their hearts to be softened

Remember, don't worry on how to witness to others, god will make an opportunity, and all you have to do is step out in faith. God will do the rest.

And something I got from the bible:

When you feel a urge to share you faith, but don't, god holds you accountable. But if you share the best you can, yet they turn you down, God will still be happy with you, cause u done your part. Don't be discouraged. Witnessing is the job God has given you, but you are only responsible for doing that job, not for the results.

And now for Fungus:

lol if i am right, I thought we had the same discussion at Fungus last week about sex. Ermm i think I blogged about it last week, so check some of my older posts :) I also tend to forget what i have blogged about and often repeat stuff, so please excuse that lol....

Oh ya, lol the new name of the Fungus rally is 'Crazy Sex Show!'...... so its a show now?? lmao!! Think peoples lol... here is the perfect opportunity to invite all your madly horny friends to Fungus rally! Hopefully they will turn to Christ. *sigh*, nearly everyone in my school is really horny lol, but that means I can invite more people! hhhehehe!! Anyways, i better get to sleep lol.

Bye peeps! :)

Schoolie :)

2008-07-30T02:37:00.000-07:00

hi everyone! lol... my laptop battery gonna die in 4 mins. Better blog quick lol. Today was a fun day at school lol. I got my results for an Indo test and my english essay back. For those who don't know. My English is crap lol. Thats why i wanna do Esl! hehehehe...

Well i got 18/20 for my essay (A), and i got 49/50 for my Indo test. lol. I gotta confess i din revise!! How i get those marks; I dunno. Luck maybe>? lol.

Indescribable is an awesome song by Chris Tomlin. I thought I blogged about it before, but it seems i havn't. Ahh battery dying.....

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
INCOMPARABLE, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

Soz for the mess haha. The thing that stands out most to me is one particular line:

"you see the depths of my heart, and you love me the same, you are amazing God"

Even though God sees our deepest secret sins, no matter how bad or good we are, he loves us the same. What an awesome God he is! Well bye peeps! Battery Gonna die.!!!

Fungus-oids :)

2008-07-27T23:33:00.001-07:00

hihi everyone! lol... Fungusoids is a cool name lol... Sure Fungus is cool. I agree...., but for what reason? Is it cool cause ur friends go there? Is it cool cause the atmosphere is nice? Is it cool cause they got an awesome band? lol.... There are many reasons why we might go to Fungus every friday, but honestly, how much do you really go there to seek God?

Lets put it like this; all your friends play Futsul/Dota/Go Box Hill every week on the same night as Fungus/Church. Which one would you go to? This refers to every week btw. Do you go to Fungus cause ur friends are there, and it is fun talking to them? Or do you go there cause u love God with all your heart and want to spend time with him?

I can honestly say that only until quite recently, I have been going to church and Fungus for the wrong reason. I used to go there cause it was fun. I used to go there because the people there are cool. (They still are!) Go to Fungus to worship God and to draw nearer to him. The friends and other stuff are bonuses.

God bless!! Cya

Inside Out

2008-07-27T23:26:00.001-07:00

Hey peeps! I wanted to blog on one of my favorite songs by Hillsong. I thought about all the bad things I had done in my past, and then this song suddenly popped into my head. The first line goes:

"A thousand times I fail, still your mercy remains, and should I stumble again; still I'm caught in your grace." - No matter how many times we stuff up, and no matter what we do, god's mercy remains and he gives us another opportunity to repent. Oh and I just wanted to tell you something I learnt while doing devotions at camp a few weeks ago. Every sin in God's eyes are equal. To him, even a little lie is just as bad as killing someone; it is still a sin. So don't think some sins are worse or not so bad as others, cause I know people who take some of Gods commandments more lightly than other commandments.

What an awesome and graceful god we serve! Cya peepS! God bless ^^

WeeEE!

2008-07-25T22:00:00.000-07:00

SUp peeps! yesterday was pretty fun i gotta say lol.... After an unusual day at school full of music rehersals for concert on thurdsday, i went to Alpha. I learnt heaps in that session. heres a quick overview of yesterday's lesson:

We learnt about the devil. Yeh just as i said awhile ago in my blog, he is not some weak noop. He is powerful, pretty powerful. The only one who is all-powerful and all-knowing is our God. Satan is strong, but God is stronger. From Highlife camp and the little green man, I remembered that verse; John 10.10, cause i keep on hearign it alll the tiem lol. The devil comes to steal kill and destroy. He tries to deceive us and draw us away from God by temptation to sin and other stuff like that. Because of this, we have to put on the armor of God and stand strong.

This is found in Ephesians 6. It contains this:

The belt of truth- Know that Jesus is the only truth, and trust in him with all you do. Know that his is all powerful, loving, wise and holy.

The breastplate of righteousness- Jesus set us free from all our shame. he took it all up on the cross. The devil tries to remind us on our sinful and hard past; we are freed by the blood of Christ.

The helmet of salvation- God's promise of eternal life and salvation.

The shield of faith- Have faith in God who walks with you through hard times; you block the 'flaming arrows' of evil with it.

The sword of the spirit- Basically the bible. Know God's promises by reading. If there is any book in the world that is true, the Bible is the only book that is 100% correct. God himself really wrote it through his disciples.

Sandals of peace/readiness- Share about the gift of Christ with others.

Much can be learnt from Alpha lol... Qynn and Vernis are awesome teachers lol.
Don't worry about if the devil trys to harm you, just make sure you have the amour of God equipped and stay close to him.

Yeh soccer yesterday was pretty cool and funny at the same time. heaps of innocent people kept on getting hit on the head by the 'less than accurate' shots from people lol.... I think i scored 2 goals. My team was cool lol. We had an awesome wninning streak at one point. But the funniest moment of the day:

(While Zacky Is playing soccer)

Harold: Hey Isaac
Isaac: Yeh?
Harold: Nice calves man :)

LOL!!! He said it to him at least 5 times... hahahaaa!!! lolololllol

I gotta go anyway... GOd bless peeps!

Btw, my soccer team at school had our first victory this year! We won 2-1 against Ivanhoe. Bye!!

This is SPARTA!! whoHOO!

2008-07-19T23:59:00.001-07:00

Lol i just rememebred about wat i was gonna blog about.

Thanks to Mr Tool's blogger, I was reminded that if we really want soemthign to happen, we need to fight for it (not in violent way ^^) Yeh when Darren couldn't go to camp, Isaac reminded him that he had to fight for it if he really wanted to come. So he had a thorough discussion of why he wanted to go, then he was finally allowed to come.

God fights with you, not for you. When we pray, for example, for our friends to come to Christ, we need to do our bit by telling them about the gift of Christ. God will then do the rest. That tells God that you have faith in him. But not all the time if u want something and u fight for it, u will necessarily get it. If it is not best for you, God won't let u hav it. It is because he loves you, thats why he doesn't let u hav whatever you desire, as we make wrong choices soemtimes.

I gonna goes peeps! bye!

True Worship

2008-07-19T23:50:00.000-07:00

Hey peeps! I probably blogged about this heaps of times, but i wanted to again :)
Sure at church we all sing worship to God like 'Jesus I will live for you in everythign I do'. That line alone means heaps. It is a big commitment and task. I know many who say that but when they live their usual lives, God is not being honored or respected by the thigns they do.

You don't have to be good at singing to worship, or do you have to lift your hands up. It is good too, but when God looks at you, he looks at your heart. Worship him however is best for you. This may be lifting your hands, kneeling, or jumping etc..

Another form of worship could be respecting God's commandments, and following them obediently. So wherever you are, at whatever time, you can worship him in everythign you do. Words don't mean as much as actions. But that does not mean worship songs are not as effective, its kinda givign him the glory he deserves. I keep on forgetting on what i was gonna blog about lol... Well cya laters peeps! Hope u hav an enjoyable week! God bless!

Fungus :)

2008-07-18T21:13:00.000-07:00

Hi peeps! Soz i havnt blogged in a while. yesterday I was kinda sick and din go to school... i was planning to go at lunch time but somehow I didn't...

Fungus yesterday was aimed specifically at the concept of sex/ porn and relationships. I honestly believe that is the thing people nowadays struggle with the most. Whenever I am at school all i hear people talking about is porn =.=" Its really annoying......

The next Fungus rally is called something like the 'crazy sex rally'? I think something like that lol... that will probably boost the attendance numbers. lol... Well people nowadays abuse the gift of sex. God created it as a reward after marriage. It kinda means 2 people are now 1? lol i dunno much about it... But anyway.... I kinda found out that when u are looking for a relationship, dun get to the physical stuff.. u know what i am talking about lol... i dun need to describe further lol....
Yeh dun make your relationship a thoroughly physical and romantic one at the start, cause u won't really get to see what the person is like on the inside. You tend to judge them by their physical appearance. Those are the relationships that are usually unsuccessful, and someone ends up getting mentally hurt.

So what u should do:
When you look for a partner, look for friendship. By doing that, you get to know what a person is really like. If there is something you don't like in that person, it will probably be noticed, and you can stop that relationship when it is still early. And if you find the right partner, the relationship will probably last.

To find the perfect partner:
Stuff all those pointless internet soulmate stuff, cause the real way to find the right partner is to live accordingly to God's will. What he wants you to do, you do. By staying close to him and turning to him for help and guidance, you are sure to find a good partner. You can also talk to ur pastors, parents and close friends for advice i guess... Thanks Zacky, ur an awesome cell leader! I learn heaps from ur wisdom!

Well i forgot what else i was planning to blog about lol... cya for now!!!

Enough; more than enough

2008-07-16T00:16:00.000-07:00

Hey peeps! I've noticed that it is human nature to have generally unlimited wants. When we get something we've wanted, we want something else. I remember when my mum used to buy me potato chips only for a treat. I was so happy and appreciative for that. Now she buys them regularly. I am less appreciative for it now... =.=" *Sigh* SOmetimes I wish I had nothing so I could learn to appreciate what I have.

Life is much better when we are thankful for what we have, rather than complaining about something we don't have. It will make you, and those around you happy when we learn how to appreciate. So I thank God for all he has given me. Truly every good thing I have comes from him. I am more than blessed. 'Enough' is an awesome song by my favorite artist; Chris Tomlin. I wanted to share about its significance to me. Here are the lyrics:

ENOUGH: CHRIS TOMLIN

All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough

You are my supply
My breath of life
And still more awesome than I know
You are my reward
worth living for
And still more awesome than I know

All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough

Youre my sacrifice
Of greatest price
And still more awesome than I know
Youre the coming King
You are everything
And still more awesome than I know

More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me
More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough for me

This song generally says how God is really all we need, and should be all we want. His love satisfies all our needs, and all we have in him is more than enough. Praise God for all he has given us! Did you know that the poor are also considered 'more than blessed'? Weird eh? But true, cause to have an awesome God like our god, it is definitely an awesome blessing.

Well i gotta go peeps! Bye! God bless!

Mom's Birthday! ^^

2008-07-16T00:09:00.000-07:00

Hi peeps! I gotta say that school is pretty tiring! lol....

Tomorrow is my mum's birthday! I love my mum, but at times I take my parents for granted. Though she may not be perfect, I gotta say that she does heaps for me, and makes many sacrifices for me. I honestly am blessed to have a parent like that. I remember when she went to Singapore for 1 week, I was really missing her lol. Even the small things she does, I now realize how much they mean.

On peoples birthday u usually be nice to them right? I reckon that is cool, but to make my mum have a good birthday, not only should I be nice on that particular day, but the whole year round. That is true appreciation, and I hope to be more like that. Tomorrow I gonna make breakky for her before I go to school ^^ lol.... I guess I also will take her out for dinner too :)

I'm tired lol.... I guess i better sleep :D

Bye peeps! God bless!

School! WeEEE!

2008-07-14T23:57:00.000-07:00

Sup peeps! This is the first proper post on my new pimped blogger! yay!

TOday was the first day of school term 3 for me. lol... I was intending to sleep at 9.30 pm yesterday, but i didn;t get to sleep till 12 =.= lol..... i like my sleepie :) When I dun sleep enough I get really tired.

Each day on the holidays I probably slept 12 hours average lol.... So when i suddenly woke up at 7 am, sleeping only 7 hours, my eyes could barely stay open lol....

Yesterday when reading the bible, I stumbled across this pretty useful fact. A while ago i blogged about how some Christians always get persecuted for their faith. At the moment we are kinda living in a dark world; one that is really far from God. So how are we expected to survive all this stuff?

God is always in control of your life. He knows everything that you go through, and everything you do. God does not promise an easy life as a Christian, but he does promise to be with you forever. Don't be worried about things that might happen to you if you step out in faith, or how to defend yourself when persecuted, but stay faithful to God, and he will deal with it all.

Keep that fire burning for him, and take a step of faith in your life; one out of your comfort zone, then God can move powerfully through you. Maybe it might be inviting someone to Fungus. They probably might bagg you about it, but trust that God knows your faithfulness, and will probably reward you.

People that live really sinful lives; do you get disgusted by their behavior? Remember, some of you were probably non-believers and far from God. How can you expect a normal person to be any better? If they accept Christ, I am sure their life will flip around, just like mine did. So instead of ditching people that sin heaps, why not share the love of Christ with them?

Bye peeps! God blesss!!

Pimped Blogger ^^ ....... not!

2008-07-13T23:10:00.001-07:00

lolol! Hi peeps! I was 'pimping' my blogger, then I accidently stuffed it up! hehehe!!! I not good at computers...... :D

Well i gonna fix it.. bye! New skin for it! But cbox temp disabled

Holidays....

2008-07-13T21:08:00.001-07:00

Hi peeps! Holidays over for me now lol.... I got a sore head :) Oh well lol....

Yesterday I went to Box Hill to celebrate my mom's birthday. It was a new shop called Beijing House (2 doors down from Tea House). The dumplings are so good! Bite it and all the juice squirts out lol... THey are really crispy too :) We also watched a movie at home called Enchanted. It may seem childish like every other fairy tale, but to be honest, I thought it was pretty good!

I done my hw for the holidays already lol.. I only got 1 essay and that was all! Lucky eh?

i really tired loll...... Well i gonna go now. Bye!

School :)

2008-07-12T21:22:00.000-07:00

Heya peeps! School is starting again tomorrow for most peeps! NoO!O I start in tuesday btw ^^
My holidays have been really relaxing... Now i gotta get back into my work mode lol... i really dunno why i think i hav heaps of work, cause when i look at my life, i hav so much spare time lol... so i guess i am lucky still :) all u guys in year 11/12/uni hav heaps of work lol.. lemme help u with ur hw ^^

Today I went to church as usual. We were gonna go to hav sunday school in the park, but it was canceled and changed to a movie day. Praise God for that! Cause today i am not feeling too well... I have a headache lol.... i hope i get better before school llol..

The highlight of my holidays is definately the Highlife. It was life-changing! It was a significant event that I will never forget. It really restored my passion and love for God. When I look back at my life, I have been a 'christian' for about 6 years i think. I wouldn't really consider myself a Christian until probably last year. My actions were sinful and wrong, and I barely had any relationship with God at all... All those years I had been at sunday school and church, and I never applied anything I learnt to my life?

I think since I took up the leadership role at FGA Kids, and attended Fungus, my walk with God was real. I honestly think that sunday school/church in those days did not really help me with my faith. It was those people who were on fire for god that really inspired me to give my life to god also. So if u really want to win someone over for god, show a good example to them.

I feel tired lol.... gonna sleep lol... bye peeps! Enjoy school! God bless!

Fungus!!! weeeEE!

2008-07-11T18:27:00.000-07:00

Hi peeps! Fungus is cool :) Just to remind you, u dun need to wait for big events like camp or Planetshakers for God to do something in your life. He can change you even on weekly FUngus or church, and even at home! wow! Our god is an awesome God! He is still there wherever you are.

I was looking forward to yesterday's Fungus. I was expecting God to somehow move in our lives. I hope that even at a common, weekly Fungus, you will never walk out as the same person. Even if u just change a tiny bit, that is still better than nothing. I reckon what makes a youth-group/ church great is not how holy they are, but how much they can change in their lives.

Unfortunately I was kinda sick again yesterday =.=" It was a little hard to stay concentrated during worship, cause I was feeling pretty tired... But, I remembered that I can still worship him at home, and in other ways such as the life I am living. I reckon actions are more powerful than words. I know how many people say in those worship songs like "Lord, nothing else could ever take your place", but when they live their life, computers for example control them, thus making it more important than God. I must shamefully admit I have been in that situation a couple of times.

Yesterday we learnt about i think "Dirty little secrets". The most common secrets at our age i reckon is porn, lies, alcohol and smoking. We kinda also had a discussion about lies. I used to lie to my parents sometimes, but now I realize it is better to tell the truth.

I used to have computer/games limits; half an hour each day. I sometimes went over my limit and lied to my parents that I kept within my allowance. If I exceeded my allowed time, I would be punished. The reasons why we shouldn't lie are; even though our parents might never find out, God always knows. And secondly, I believe that God rewards us for our honesty and truthfulness, and numerous times when I admitted I had disobeyed my parents, they said it didn't matter, and did not apply any punishments. God is great! Remember, always tell the truth.

And with secrets.... if u keep a secret sin to yourself that you are constantly doing, it is not a good situation to be in. Firstly, even if it is a small, innocent sin, it will lead to a bigger problem, and get worse. If you let someone know about it, they can be there for u and remind u not to do that anymore. It is always good to have a friend that cares for you, and is constantly watching out for u.

I was reading the bible last night, and stumbled across a particularly important thing. Did you know that the devil is always trying to destroy our lives? He is not some weak noob, but he is actually pretty strong. He does things like tempting us to do wrong, and encouraging sinful ways. Luckily, we have a god who is stronger than him, and can help us resist temptation to sin.

The devil doesn't bother some Christians. Like those believers that go along with the crowd and keep quiet about their relationship with Jesus. Those who go and share their faith with others are the ones who get persecuted. Maybe start witnessing to your friends, and inviting them to Fungus? There is a pretty high chance you will face opposition, but that tells you that you are annoying the devil, meaning that you are a spiritual success!

Don't be discouraged if things go terribly wrong in your life, cause God walks with you the whole way. He won't let anything really bad happen to you; but he allows Satan to tempt you and do bad things to you, only to a certain extent though. Get out there and tell the world about the awesome free gift of salvation and be prepared to get persecuted! Get closer to god, and he will protect you wherever you are!

God bless guys!

Jon ^^

Oh, and yes Mister Zacky, I did learn heaps at Fungus yesterday, and at other weeks too. Thanks for being an awesome cell leader man! Ur a great teacher son! Keep on shining for God!

fuNguS!!! WhHOOHOoOOO!O!

2008-07-09T20:30:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! U know why I am allocating a whole post just for an ordinary, weekly Fungus session? - Cause I believe there is the potential for God to move at any normal Fungus, as powerfully as he did at the Highlife camp last week. As i mentioned before, God is always the same; he never changes. His love is the same, his mercy is the same, his power is still the same.

If we open our hearts, and have a sheer passion for his name, God will move mightily. So tomorrow and always, lets really be open to the message ahead of us, and get our flame burning for him. Give God ur all and worship him with all your heart; not only tomorrow or at big events, but every day you live. I forgot to mention but God can also move in ur daily lives at home too :)

Well i gonna go now :) God bLESS!

Btw, we are shaving Andrew Lin and Darrel's hair tomoz at the Fungus/101 meeting! YAy!

Remember to pray for Fungus tomoz! lolol

- For God to set a passion for him within u
- For God to help u resist temptations and distractions to live a life for him
- To anoint the message at Fungus and for everyone to have open hearts and humble hearts
- For all to go well!

Byes!

Pimped blogger

2008-07-09T04:58:00.000-07:00

Hi peeps! My blog is undergoing massive pimping lol.... i added a music player for those who may not have already realized. Turn up the volume! lololol!

I dunno why but i seem to like Chris Tomlin's music.... they are really meaningful and powerful. my favorite one atm is 'Holy is the Lord'. Its kinda saying how awesome our god is, and giving him the glory for every good thing we have.

I gonna go now.. bye!

Holidays!

2008-07-09T03:34:00.001-07:00

Hi peeps! Its amazing how i get so little done in so much time on the holidays lol.... I havnt started my holiday homework and the holidays are nearly over! lollolol.....

Today i went to help clean up/ rearrange the sunday school classrooms. Me and mister Goh practically cleaned up the whole store room and n-gauge classroom, while the other peeps did the x-site one. Franny is obsessed with fire lol... in her spare time she burns things. ^^
At least one day of my hols were useful.... lol.... not including the awesome Highlife camp last week! Booyah! Well i gonna get on with my work lol... i am currently working on a blog about the camp, but i wont get it done for a while lol.. its pretty long.... well bye peeps! Hope u enjoy the rest of holidays!

The Highlife!

2008-07-07T01:00:00.000-07:00

Sup guys! Highlife camp is over, but the Highlife isn't! Booyah! I have to say it is wayy harder to be constantly on fire for God when we are living our usual lives, full of distractions and temptations... but I just wanted to remind you that God is not only a god of camps and cool events like those, but a god of everywhere and all days. He is the same today, yesterday and forever.

I believe he can move just as powerfully at a normal Fungus session, as he did at camp. It just requires us to seek him with a humble and hungry heart. I hope that we would not go back and live our normal, sinful lives, but stick with the change and commitments we made at the Highlife camp. We can still live out the Highlife we were made for anywhere! Praise God! Well i currently blogging about the camp in more depth, but it will take a while lol.. its really long. Bye! Continue to burn with passion for Christ!

Hi!

2008-07-06T03:41:00.000-07:00

Sup guys! I went to BoxHill with my mom and bro lol... I saw some pretty freaky stuff!

After dinner at Blue Hills, on the way back to the car we always pass by this shop called 'Club X'. It is some 'adult shop'. Keean once told me that his dad thought it was a restaurant and asked him if he wanted to eat there... lol.... Well i saw these guys going into the shop, and it is usually empty. They were an old couple! like 60-70 years old! I am surprised and a little sad to see how those guys can be so horny... =.="

I also saw this old man carrying a samaurai sword.. lol... i gotta watch Alvin and the Chipmunks now ^^ bye! awesome soundtrack! lol>!!!

HIGHLIFE '08!!

2008-07-01T16:14:00.000-07:00

Heya guys! CAmp is today! lol... my bro and mum are still sleeping :)
I dunno why but i woke up too early and couldnt get back to sleep...... the excitement lol.... its camp duH!

Yeh i spent ages yesterday praying for the camp... i know its gonna be awesome; not only fellowship, but I believe that God will do something special. I hope that it can be something that re-lights our passion for Christ, and usually, my 'fire' doesnt last for too long, but I hope that the camp will change us not only for the week, but for the days to come.

I better eat breakkie! Bye guys! THose who cant come to camp; i am sorry to hear, but I hope God will still move in ur lives. bye!!!! HIGHLIFE 'o8! YEHHHHHH!!! ^^

I hope to see god transform our lives as we go to this camp... heeee... Give him space in ur lives to move, then i guess he will move within u.. bye!!

Awesome God

2008-06-30T00:33:00.000-07:00

Heya guys! We must admit that our God is an awesome god! I kept those who couldn't make it to camp in prayer, and completely trusted that he would flip the whole situation around for some who were unable to come to camp- Highlife '08. He did. Darren's did not let him go to camp, and it was already the last day to sign up for camp and she did not change her mind. I knew god plans things at the perfect time. His mum suddenly let him go on that last day... God is GREAT!! Face it, God is real, and he waits for you to accept him.

Well atm i am still packing for camp! hehe... i wasted a whole day.. =.=" cause i am sick and really dun hav the energy to do anythign else... i hope i can make tomorrow a productive day :D

Bye peeps! CAMP IN 2 DAYS! YEHAAA!

Consuming Fire

2008-06-29T21:12:00.000-07:00

Heya all! Camp now in 2 days! yehaa! I am sick btw :( I got a cold lol...
The weekend has been pretty busy. Saturday i went to watch Kung fu Panda with Sunday school kiddies. It was hilarious! A fat panda being China's only hope to save the country- he uses his fat-ness to pwn the peoples! hahhaa!!! Yeh after that I went to the 'talent night' at church lol.. my dad pulled me to it hhaaa. It was pretty lame but i guess funny somehow. Kim Ooi ur ballet thingy was pretty awesome! Unlike many of the other performances, urs actually displayed some 'talent'. The other guys just copy from soemwhere lol.. u shoulda won! hahaa..

Sunday church as usual, and i went to play soccer after for like 2.5 hours lol.. I think i had a slight cold then but didnt feel sick.. i had at least 5 scoring opportunities lol.. thanks to mister zacky and his mhs friend :) Ty for u guys letting us have shots lol. i appreciate that...
After soccer i went to the cows house (keeeean) for some reason that i dun know... i was dead tired after that.,.. long day + soccer + a cold = gg!! I had to stay there till like 11 and by the time i got home i was so tired!!! wahH!! Well atm i am kinda sick..... I hope i get better before the camp lol... Well i better start packing lol...

Oh i nearly forgot the topic of this post; consuming fire.. it is a song by Tim Hughes, which many may recognise from Hillsong United. Well it is actually written by TIm Hughes lol..

here are the lyrics:

Consuming Fire lyrics

Artist - Tim Hughes

Verse 1:
There must be more than this
oh breath of God come breath within
There must be more than this
Spirit of God we wait for you
Fill us anew we pray
Fill us anew we pray

Chorus:
Consuming Fire
Fan into flame
a passion for your name
Spirit of God
fall in this place
Lord have ur way
Lord have ur way
with us

Verse 2:
Come like a rushing wind
Fill us with power from on high
Now set the captives free
leave us abandoned to your praise
Lord let your glory fall
Lord let your glory fall

(repeat chorus)

Well it is important to know what the song is all about when u sing songs of praise and worship to God. The purpose of this song is mainly asking God to renew your passion (fire) for him. THe first line is pretty significant aswell. It says 'there must be more than this'. It is really sayign to God; Lord, I am not satisfied by the life I am living; I want to be more obedient, i want to live for you alone.

I reckon those are awesome lyrics, and would be awesome to make that your prayer for your life; to grow in faith and in Christ. It would be awesoem to do this song at camp lol, cause a passion for Christ is something we so desperately need, especially when there are so many other distractions in our lives. Well cya guys! Hope to see u at camp ^^

Those who are not coming now, I am sure u know that it is too late to sign up now, and there is probably no way that u can come, but i wanted to remind u again that gods will is what is best for u. He may hav not let u go to cause it would hav been better for u to stay where u are now.. well it seems mad but it is probably true..... bye!! ^^

Who am I?

2008-06-26T01:23:00.000-07:00

Heya guys! School finish tomorrow!! Wah this term has been really long lol... somehow it doesnt feel like the last day of school hahaa.. our means of 'celebration' for last day of school simply is extra homework! lol! 12 week lahH! I thank God for his unfailing love throughout this year, and for my whole life really lol. This song; who am I? really makes me realize how loving my god really is. here is how it goes:

Casting Crowns - Who Am I Lyrics

Verse 1:

Who am I?

That the Lord of all the earth,

Would care to know my name,

Would care to feel my hurt.

Who am I?

That the bright and morning star,

Would choose to light the way,

For my ever wondering heart.

Prechorus:

Not because of who I am.

But because of what you've done.

Not because of what I've done.

But because of who you are.

Chorus:

I am a flower quickly fading,

Here today and gone tomorrow.

A wave tossed in the ocean,

A vapor in the wind.

Still you hear me when I'm calling,

Lord you catch me when I'm falling,

And you told me who I am.

I am yours.

Verse 2:

Who am I?

That the eyes that see my sin

Would look on me with love

And watch me rise again

Who am I?

That the voice that calm the sea,

Would call out through the rain,

And calm the storm in me.

Ending Chorus:

I am a flower quickly fading,

Here today and gone tomorrow.

A wave tossed in the ocean,

A vapor in the wind.

Still you hear me when I'm calling,

Lord you catch me when I'm falling,

You told me who I am.

I am yours.

Whom shall I fear?

Whom shall I fear? '

Cuz I am yours.

I am yours.

God loves us not for what we do, or who we are; he loves us because thats who he is; he loves us unconditionally. Who am i- I am only one person that lives in this vast universe, yet God still watches out for us? We are like a flower quickly fading, meaning that we are here, then gone the next day, yet God's love still covers us? Lord no matter how much i stuff up, your always there for me, and I will live a life for you alone. God is great! HIGHLIFE '08! YAY! Its in 5 days! YehaHHAAA!!! K i am looking forward to see God move in me, but I remembered that those who are unfortunate and are not allowed to go, lets just pray for a breakthrough? I don;t want them to miss this awesome opportunity to grow in faith...

Oh I just remembered aswell, I was praying for this dude in my school called Oliver, and I invited him to Fungus. He only came once, and didn't come for a while cause he appeared to have other commitments. He said he was gonna come last week, but didn't turn up. That lowered my hope. I wanted to ask him to come to camp that friday, but since he din come = gg! Luckily we can still apply for camp this week... I gave him a camp info thingy and told him a bit about what it was, and asked if he could come. He said it was unlikely, but today he came up to me and said he could come! how awesome is our God? I really wanna see him saved and hopefully also reach out to his family too, cause his mum seems to be bored a little. I wanna invite her to FGA lol. That would be awesome! I just will keep my trust in God, but not only that; I will step out in faith by doing my best to invite them to church and stuff, and God will do the rest ^^

I gotta do my final 2 projects before tomorrow; the last day of school. hehehe ... bye alLL! Enjoy holidays and god bless!

Fasting

2008-06-24T00:58:00.000-07:00

Heya guys! I just remembered that I wanted to fast prior the the Fungus camp! I gonna go hardcore style by fasting Facebook and computer games! I used to fast soft drinks, but I saw literally no benefits from it. Fasting facebook will allow me to spend more 'quiet time' each day, and will prepare my heart for the awesome Fungus camp!! ayyayayy! I am pretty excited i must admit lol. I reckon the purpose of fasting is to cut down on the things that separate you from God; eg, dota etc... I must say I sometimes I have put other things before God... like my computer.. forgive me Lord for my utter foolishness.

Well the reason why I reckon playing too much computer is cause it limits the time u spend with other people such as ur parents and friends. I really needa spend more time with my parents lol. They are a blessing I take for granted.....

Oh and I just wanna remind you guys about the awesome power of prayer. K here it goes... There is this kiddie called Seth in X-Site class who I reckon has a bit of a hardcore temper. Well i dun wanna go into much detail. He never seems to be happy or ever smiles. He always seems to cling onto Aunty Melinda and Uncle Mingliong ( I spelt it wrong lol...). I see them struggling to keep Seth occupied and happy for the 1.5 hours each week at sunday school. I decided I better step in.

I devoted some prayer time specially for him; to see a change in his life. I really believed that God was gonna work within him, and I trusted that I would see a breakthrough. Guess what happened next? :)

K as I saw him walk into sunday school that morning, I saw a bright smile across his face. I gave him special attention that SUnday to really share God's love with him. He behaved in a good manner for the rest of the lesson; well better than usual... At least he is improving lol.. i want to see God work in his life more. I was like" thankyou Lord!" See? Prayer is powerful. THe reason why I know it is definately the power of prayer is cause, Seth has been at sunday school for about 1 and a half years already. Each week he would behave in the same manner. But this week there was an obvious difference in his life, and it also happened to be the week I devoted a bit of my prayer for him. Remember to keep the kids in prayer as Sonja always says! WHy? cause it works!!!!

All it takes is faith and trust, then God takes over ^^ I am sure it was Gods will to make Seth a happy and cheerful kid, but we need to pray for things we want to see changed. If what you pray for doesn't come through, God either said 'wait' or simply 'no', cause he does whats best for you overall. Ask God to hold you in his hands and to do whats best for you; he will... as he always.. :)

HIGHLIFE '08!!! YEEEHAAAAA!! lol! :) I am pumped!! HEhEE!! !!God bless peeps!!!!

Random

2008-06-21T05:11:00.000-07:00

HiiI! I realised I havn't blogged since wednesday! lol... well today was saturday! yay! I had school soccer match against marcellin. And of course, we got owned..... 9-0 we lost. well that was better than last time :) (13-0)
I had a run and shot, then after i scored, the ref called off side. =.="
I was like yyYYAYAYYA!! then :(
lmao... I was quite satisfied with my team, even though we lost so badly, cause we played really well and worked together and enjoyed ourselves. We had at least 3 easy shots at goals, but were unable to turn them into goals cause offside......

I sometimes imagine a care-bear national soccer team. They verse some team and lose like 100-0. (in professional league lmao!) Then the care bear granny says "at least we tried our best and enjoyed ourselves!!!" Yeh lame but randomly funny lol... Carebears are cool!! heheeee

Anyway i better get to sleepie now.... HIGHLIFE '08!! YEEEEEHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Lol

2008-06-18T03:26:00.000-07:00

Hi all! Today at school something pretty funny happened lol. Today I had the dreaded swimming session for Phys ed. We were doing some hardcore continuous laps then suddenly the fire bell went off. THat always happens btw lol. It was a practice drill, which we assumed it to be. We jumped out of the pool and were going to go in public wearing nothing but speedos.. =.="
Luckily our teacher was ncie and let us get changed first lol. We took at least 15 mins though. And if that had been a real fire we would have been stuffed. heeeee.. HIGHLIFE 08'!!! YEHAAA!! I am still pretty pumped lol. Remember to pray for those who can't come, and for the whole camp in general, that it would impact those who attend. Bye guys! Cya!!

Camp again ^^

2008-06-17T04:58:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! I accidently logged off and lost my post, but I will type it again :)

I am really looking forward to the FUngus winter camp. I want to see God do amazing things beyond our imagination; I want to see him flip our lives over and change it completely. I believe that this is an awesome opportunity to grow in faith and make new covenants with him.

For those who can;t come, I reckon all it takes is faith and trust in God that he will make the right decision for you and will let u come if it is his will to. He can pull you out of tight situations you may be facing, or those you may seem hopeless, just believe that he can, then I am sure you won't be disgraced from the outcome; whether u end up coming or not. I pray that you guys can come along. Anyway i better get to sleep now..... bye all!!

FUNGUS CAMP! WHOOHOHOOOOO! I am pretty much pumped lol

FUngus Camp!

2008-06-16T03:52:00.000-07:00

Hey all! I know its great that we can all go on the fungus camp!! Its an opportunity to really set us on fire for christ again! I wish my passion could last forever.... heheee

We are lucky to be able to go to camp. THere are many who also can't come to the camp cause they not allowed. Remember to keep them in constant prayer against their setbacks and to be given the chance to grow in faith. Well i better go now guys! Cyaz!

Soccer! yay!

2008-06-15T02:41:00.000-07:00

Hi!! Soccer is pretty tiring I must admit! lol. After church today I went to play soccer at Aqualink. I scored 6 goals i think! To be honest; luck explains why. I just got lucky hehee. My awesome team set up those goals for me! Ty Zacky, Daniel, Keith, Hamus tha tank, Darrell, And all the subs and other guys too! I didn't deserve the glory lol. U guys did all the work! Gratz! I am sore :) lol.
Homework! nooO! Bye peeps! ENjoy school and don't do drugs!

Be a man... do the right thing!

2008-06-13T05:46:00.000-07:00

Sup alL! I just came back from Westfield lol.. its so awesome now! got asian shops now too! lol... azn pride! Its really new and shiny! yeh I only go cause shiny! Shiny stuff pwns!

Well i better get to the topic: Be a man, do the right thing. This is one of the few times that Russel Peters' quotes actually are true lol. I quite agree, to be a man is to do the right thing.

Being a man is not beating someone up... or bagging nerds and being cool; its discipline. To the the right thing requires vast self-control and maturity. A man is courteous, caring, considerate etc... not rude or disrespectful.

I also wanted to bring up the point of 'two-faces' For example:

Your at church serving at SUnday school and worshiping God. You behave in a really good manner being polite to those you see and seem to be a very nice person.

Its a normal weeknight at home. Your mum doesn't let u watch too much tv today cause she wants you to sleep early or something. You crack up and complain and ask why. She clearly explains why but u keep on bugging her. Is that the right thing to do? Well this is an example of kind of hiding your true being. It pisses me off to be honest. But don't worry about others too much. The only one who is never fooled is God. He sees right into our hearts. Just make sure that does not accurately describe u in any way. Live for him in everything you do, wherever you are, and at all times of the week.

I also got somethign else to add. THis shows your true being too; when things don't go your way. I know many who are so happy when things are going the way they want. WHen they recieve what they want and when things are sound. They appear to be quite nice people. But when times are not so good, when your tired or annoyed, when you don't get treated fairly or when things don't go your way, many behave in a totally different way. They start to get a temper and answer others rudely. I don't want to contradict anyone, but I advise you to make sure that that does not describe you. There is nothing more rewarding than serving God in all you do. It is truly satisfying.

Well bye peeps! I gonna sleep!

Yay

2008-06-13T01:04:00.001-07:00

Hi alL! I finsihed my detention! lol!! random eh? nerd get detention? lol...

Bye! I gonna go westfield! I havnt seen it since it was renovated lol.. and i live riight next to it.

=.="

2008-06-11T23:26:00.000-07:00

Sup all! Today I am pretty annoyed cause my soccer coach is so tight! I got a friday detention! wahH! My first ever detention lol.... this is how it goes:

Last friday I had exams. We are expected to go to sports meetings as we play matches every saturday. I completely forgot about it and arrived 5 mins late. By then the teacher had gone.

My soccer team has around 17 people. Only about 13 are expected to come to the saturday matches and the others can relax. When we go to the meetings, the people who are there are then told if they are playing or not. Yes so I was not there, therefore I dun know why he put me on the list. I was actually expected to play on saturday even i was not there. If i was not at school that day, I still would have received a detention... lameness?

Anyway, I shouldn't be annoyed too much.. luckily my mum didn't get pissed... its only 1 and a half hour of boringness i gues.... cept my reputation as a 'nerd' is now wrecked.... :(
lol... at my school it is an insult to punish a nerd ^^ lmao

Well I hope my detention tomorrow goes alright... Cya all! Enjoy school!

Forgiveness

2008-06-11T03:47:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! Hope ur benefiting from my blogs! :) TOday I gonna discuss a pretty important topic about forgiveness. Many think its an easy, simple, one way thing;

you ask god to forgive u,then ur forgived.

Well its not like that. The bible clearly says, if you don't forgive others, god wont forgive u. Well thats one part, heres another: when you pray, you must be truly sorry, and not only say so, but show that your sorry by trying your best to change. You must also humble yourselves before him to firstly admit you've done wrong, then ask him for forgiveness. Thankfully god is a god of grace and mercy, and forgives your sins even though u dun deserve it.

Sin separates us from God. It is like a barrier and because of it, we don't hear gods call or receive his blessings and rewards as abundantly.

Aww what else was i gonna say? i forgot lol... =.="

Well yash. Sometimes we may make ourselves think that the things we do are ok, but if you honestly, honestly look at the situation and your actions, you would shamefully admit that its wrong? Well i'll give u an example:

You cheat in a test, then you think to yourself "God won't really mind too much. I can give him the glory when I get my awesome test result." You then clear that issue from your mind and keep on living your life as if it were normal, and keep on doing things you presume to me 'ok'. (Soz! I couldnt think of a better example lol..."

This is when things start to dangerous; the point where you sin, but don't really realist your sinning. Cause how can u admit your wrong and ask for forgiveness when you think you din do anything really too wrong? As this occurs more often, it can really get worse. You keep on sinning and getting further away from god. Now that is bad. This is where you need to be humble, by saying that you've done wrong.

Oh and this is directly out of the bible; a perfect scripture to explain this topic.

"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face., then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin."

God will only forgive u if u follow these instructions from him.

Please excuse my crappy english cause i dun edit this lol. Straight from my mind to the keyboard... lol... i guess u get an honest view...

Bye allL! enjoy school and God bless!!

More than blessed

2008-06-10T04:34:00.000-07:00

Heya peeps! Hope ur enjoying school! Nearly holidays! yay! Well I just wanted to remind you and myself how blessed we are. The fact that we have a ever so faithful and loving God already makes us more than blessed- agreed? Well I reckon thats true. Did u know God even considers the poor more than blessed? - well thats cause they have that gift of Christ too.... anyway, there are so many things I could thank God for; a house, a school, a loving family, awesome friends, a great church.... the list goes on.

That really does leave us no good reason to complain about anything I guess..... Just be thankful for what we have, and life will be much happier for yourself, and others. :)

Today was an awesome day at school, where God really reminded me that he was in control of everything that happens in my life.

Well this is what happened; the usual school issues.... =.=
This sounds the same every time, its the same scenarios, but it shows how loving and faithful God really is.

I din do my hw..... again!! and there; teacher extended it AgaIN!! Today I was also feeling rather tired, so soccer training was canceled! yay! And my most feared part of the week; swimming tomorow for pe..... Its also canceled! yay!! God is great! I din even pray for him to walk with me, but he did anyway! Thankyou lord for your unfailing love that is never ending!

God is real, believe it.

Queens Bday!

Worship =)

2008-06-06T20:54:00.000-07:00

Hi peeps! Yesterday at the fungus/101 meeting we explored worship in more depth. It was pretty awesome message and I reckon it was a breakthrough in many of our lives, as we worshiped God with more meaning and with sincerity. There are 3 ways that we can worship:

Firstly, we can worship God in words, like singing songs to him.

We can also worship God in the things that we do, by glorifying him and living our lives for him. I think this is the most challenging and best way to worship God, by actions, not only words.

And lastly, which is a rare occasion, when God appears before us and we worship because he is there with us. I mean he actually comes in a visible form or you may hear a voice that is actually real. Here we kinda have no choice but to worship him. He exposes himself to us, quite obviously, and changes our lives forever by securing our faith in him.

Long weekend!! yay! The queen is now cool because of that! ^^

Bye all! God bless!

FUnniest thing ever!

2008-06-05T03:26:00.000-07:00

Hi!

2008-06-03T03:43:00.000-07:00

Hey peeps! Today i will blog about something that you can benefit from! I gonna try to quit facebooking... it consumes time surprisingly fast! gah! Stuff u facebook! lol...

As more mature Christians, we may sometimes think that the Ten Commandments which we learnt way back when we were little kids may no longer be relevant, but it is. I picked up a book I saw in my room that was for like 5 year olds and decided to flick through it. i was surprised how much i learnt from it lol. Lemme note some points I noticed:

1st Commandment: You shall have no Gods other than me:
Some of you may think literally bowing down and worshiping Buddha for example is breaking this rule. Well yes it is, but there is much more to it. I used to think it was a narrow limitation but it really includes playing too much computer or facebooking too much, and ur practically asleep when ur reading the bible and praying, then that is no good. It is putting other 'gods' before him and therefore breaking the first commandment. Seems weird eh? Well its easy to sin and it takes discipline to resist the temptation to do so.

2nd Commandment: You can't have any idols:
THis is kinda simmilar to the first commandment, putting things before God, rather than giving him your praise and the glory he deserves. Eg as before: Playing too much facebook.

3rd Commandment: Don't use God's name in vain
This is kinda straight foward, dont say 'oh my god'. Its amazing how many CHristians say that when they are pissed or as a reaction when they scared. Get out of that habit say something else, because you would be disrespecting God.

4th COmmandment: Remember the sabbath day and keep it holy:
MAny may think it means simply dont do work on the Sabbath, which I unfortunately do. Homework lah! But I think that that is ok, cause the word says not to do unnecessary work. Sunday should be a day where we honour the Lord and spend time with him. I really think i should try not to play games on that day....

5th Commandment: Honour your father and mother:
I think this may be a little struggle for some of you to honour your parents. Did you know honouring your parents is not only just being polite to them? It is more than that; it is obeying them and sincerely caring about them. Eg, you could honour your parents by offering them to wash the dishes. Obedience also slips into this category. Obedience is an extremely important thing. If you don't think so, now you know it is. Eg: Your mum says to sleep by 10. You only sleep at maybe 10.05. Don't hide it, tell your mum and confess. I am sure God will reward you for your obedience and your mum will just let it go.

6th Commandment: Thou Shalt not kill:
DOn't kill. It doesn;t only mean murder. Did you know bagging someone or racism is kinda considered killing? It kills them emotionally, not necessarily physically. \

7th commandment: DOnt commit adultery:
It refers to marriage and also other things. Don't marry and divorce your spouse for another man/woman. DOn't watch porn.

8th Commandment: DOn't steal
Stealing is many things. Not only is it maybe stealing money from someone, but cheating in a test is stealing. It steals their knowledge that you never had, undeserved marks for yourself.

Or maybe you get paid yo do chores around the house. You may be tired and cbs doing a good jon so u just rush it and take the cash= stealing.

9th commandment: DOn't lie
Telling lies range from many things. THose of you who believe 'white lies' are ok, well the bible says they are not. It is a lie nevertheless. Do you make commitments to God and forget about them and not keep them? Do you make excuses for things that you did that you try to escape from? These are lies even they may not seem like them.

10th commandment: DOn't want something someone else has.
I personally don't exactly understand it much myself, but i will try to explain what i think it is.

It means don't want skills someone else has, or a new ipod thta you friend just got. Focus on all the blessings God has given you and develop your life without comparing yourself to others.

These 10 commandments can be practically summarized into 2 commandments:

Love the lord with all your heart
The reason why this is one of the two most important commandments is because if you truly live God with all your heart, you would follow the other ten commandments. Eg: Dont lie, dont steal etc....

Love your neighbour as much as yourself:
THis is simmilar to the first one. If you loved your neighbour sincerely, you wouldnt steal from them, nor would u lie to them.

So then why should we follow these commandments?
SImply because God will reward us with various blessings if we remain faithful to him.

Long blog eh? Its surprising how many of these rules we break in our daily lives. Live for God and worship him in everything that you do! God bless!

Exams over! ^^

2008-06-02T00:51:00.001-07:00

Exams are over! yay! That means total slack off now! hheheeee. But I thank God for walking with me through all my situations. I actually din revise much for my english or History exams to be honest. I found the English one quite fun! I think I passed! :)
And for history = gg lol

I gonna slack off now bye!

Final exams

2008-06-01T04:03:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! i am a hardcore blogger lol. I think nearly everyday! yay! My final exams are tomorrow! as u can see, i am blogging, when my exams which i din revise for are tomorrow!!!! heheheheeheheh!! I actually deserve to fail.... buy anyway, i better get revising. Life's still easy, cause i hav time to blog during exam period. THats cause i cant concentrate for so many hours! ....

Aww i gotta get back to it anyway. Bye all! good luck with exams! God bless!

God is great!

2008-05-30T23:49:00.000-07:00

Hey all! Yeh as i said, 2 exams down! yay!! I got english and history now. hhee. I thank the Lord for being a God who walks with us no matter what we face; when we are down, and when we are happy. He is truly an amazing God that shows unconditional love and mercy. Remember he is always beside you at all times, so you're not living life alone, but with the creator of the universe; who is greater than our God? ANyway i gonna revise for my exams! ^^ Bye everyone

Prayer

2008-05-30T20:01:00.000-07:00

Hi peeps! 2 exams gone already! yay! Math and commerce... The commerce was kinda easy, and the maths was kinda hard! its my worst subject! lol! i know, azn= good at math, crap at english etc.... I used to get A+ for math in year 7 lol.. now i get b's.... anyways i better get to the topic

At alpha yesterday, we were talking about prayer, well its kinda same as my blog 2 days ago; Wait, No, Yes. We discussed the outcomes of prayer, and I learnt some stuff lol. U can never know everything, so come to alpha and learn some more! yay! It may seem that Alpha is for new christians, but u can pick up heaps of important and helpful stuff from it.

When u pray, God can answer differently. He may say yes, meaning yes right away, later, meaning yes, but not yet, and no, meaning no. As i said earlier, he does what is best for you, cause he has planned all your days already, and knows what will happen to you if certain things happen. Anyway, i got an example of when God says wait:

You pray to god to be good at maybe soccer? and then he says wait, simply cause u may not be able to handle that talent. Don't worry if god doesn't always give u what u think is good, cause he knows best. Trust that he does make the best choices for you and will never disgrace you. God is great! THe outcomes of God's choices are always positive, maybe not immediately, but ultimately. Bye everyone!

yes, no,, later

2008-05-29T02:25:00.000-07:00

Hey loyal blog readers! :)
I know that many of you may be discouraged when things don't exactly go how you want them to. You might ask God for something, but don't get it, or you may. But anyway, if things are not going your way, they are going God's way (which is good). I'll give u an example which I am currently experiencing:

I asked God to heal me from my annoying severe cold (a flu?) which I caught on tuesday cause i went to soccer training, and was already not too well then. I was worried cause my important exams are tomorrow, and if i were to be ill, my mind doesn't think properly, and i would do badly on them. I was not healed until just a few moments ago. I stayed home today cause I was ill, and it allowed me to revise further for my exams, and allowed me to sleep in and rest. See? the outcome was good, even though I prayed for healing, I didn't recieve it immediately, which was worrying me, but God's timing is perfect. Now i am fine to do my exams! Praise God!

Yes, no, later; don't be discouraged if things don't go your way, cause God is over control of your life, and believe me, he manages your life the best! God is great!! He always listens to your prayers, and does what is best for you.

Bye everyone! I gotta revise for my math exam! ^^

Exams!

2008-05-28T20:51:00.000-07:00

Now i can honestly say, this is one of my few exams i am looking forward too! I am actually prepared for once! yay! I hope i do ok lol. :) Math and commerce exam tomorrow, english and history on monday. I suck at english lol. I cant get any better than a B... lol. commerce is the best subject! It is one of the few subjects that u can relate to your daily life. eg, sif u need to know all this linear graph crap in ur daily life lol, or u need to know about plant reproduction?? u now notice the kind of stuff u learn at school? lol i think few of it has any relevance to our lives. commerce pwns! Anyway, better get back to revision and stop being proud lol. God hates pride as you know.

I had the indonesian exam today btw. It was fun! I hope I am ok by friday otherwise gg! Anyway gonna sleep now. Soz i cant blog much cause I so tired...

Amazing Grace; How many times is that now?

2008-05-26T02:56:00.001-07:00

Hi peeps! U might have noticed, but this time yesterday, I was feeling pretty worried, cause I had a major Indonesian Oral exam which I had quite forgotten about, so didn't get much revision done. I got out of it as I hoped to. Luckily, I was not chosen to do my speech today, but rather tomorrow! Praise God for saving me once again! lol i get into so many tight situations..... I gotta revise now cause I got it tomorow lol. Oh and its exam week! I nearly forgot; I was gonna quit Facebook and Msn. So yeh, stuff u FB!

Soccer!

2008-05-25T00:39:00.000-07:00

Soccer is fun! I played indoor today after church lol.. I am really unco when i not warmed up, and takes 1 hour to do so lol. Yeh thats annoying. I kept on stuffing up at first, then I had a few shots when I was warmed up. My first goal, I was in the square, then I kicked it into the keeper, then kicked the rebound again; it went in. my second goal, I was kinda open goal, then bam into Kevin, and slipped past. I had at least 5 goal opportunities, only able to make 2 of them successful. lol .... I got exams tomorrow! how annoying! anyway, bye all!

Yay sunday!

2008-05-24T20:58:00.000-07:00

I like weekends and fridays! i actually dun hav to be bored with school all the time lol. today as usual, i did kids ministry, and I was encouraged to pull myself together. I do not do my job for fun, nor do I treat it lightly anymore. In the past, I must admit I kinda slacked off and din really serve Christ as I should. Now i am gonna do my best to talk more to the kids and get to know them better.

The sermon today was pretty funny; Chris and Rodger preaching, and Rodger constantly getting bagged about his obsession with food, which obviously shows up physically. lol! But they were speaking about how they couldn't stand each other; they were so different and found each other just plain annoying. I must say that some people did irritate me in the past, but no longer do I choose to get irritated, but rather to show agape love (if thats how u spell it lol) towards them, just liek God has shown to me. Remember, God loves us unconditionally, no matter how much we sin or the things we do, and we should treat others in that same way too.

Love for who they are, not what they have done. Cause i am sure we also stuff up a fair bit, just remember that.

I gotta revise for exams! yay! then indoor soccer later lol. Bye !

Idols

2008-05-23T19:58:00.000-07:00

Oh and i forgot about Fungus yesterday! Good job Qynn, we actually learn stuff relevant to our lives at Fungus! lol.. We learnt about idols in our lives. Do we love anything more than God? Honestly? I must shamefully admit, at times, I have not put God first in my life... yes i think we all know... FACEBOOK! LOL stuff U!! Ok i actually gonna do something about it lol. Well you see, I go on my comp till like 10 (not that late for u guys), then i shower, then i read papers, then i muck around, then its already 11.30!! I am pretty tired at that time, and my 'quiet time' with god is affected, cause i sleepy. This is what i am gonna do: I will try my best to shower before I facebook, maybe 6 pm? Then i will finish computer at 9.30 instead, which means i should be in bed at like 10, about 1.5 hours earlier. There is nothing wrong with making mistakes; just learn from them and do something to prevent you from making them.
Oh and i did the 'addict' quizzes at fungus lol. It says i am a normal computer user, and a work-a-holic?!?!?!? whats this lol. I actually dun like doing work much! and i am certainly not a normal computer user! lol I would consider myself to be a 'hardcore' computer nerd; which i will do something aabout! :)

anyway, i gonna go now. bye!

Hi :)

2008-05-23T19:37:00.000-07:00

Hi! i din get to go on comp on thurs night or yesterday due to busy schedule! lol leme summarise the last 2 days

thursday 22nd:
School as usual, then teachers meeting at night! lol.. i forgot about it, and left my homework to that day, which i din get to do cause the teachers meeting went over time by 1.5 hours! lol twice as long as it was meant to! But i dun regret going, cause we were lucky enough to hear an awesome message from Rodger aka adult who drinks bubble tea! lmao!!! But yeh, it was a awesome meeting, and I noticed many things I had never known, and was really encouraged to run this race for god. I came back at 11.30 pm... lol. No time to do hw, cause i not allowed to go on computer after 10 pm. I was late for school the next day btw! :)

Friday 23rd;
Well as i mentioned, i was late for school, cause i slept way later than i normally did. God revealed his power and love to me once again. This is how it goes:
I was 3 hours late for school... hmm a little late? I managed to walk into school remaining un- noticed and didn't get in trouble. phew! I actually had 2 fairly large projects due that day aswell which i was unable to do cause of late finishing teachers meeting. I somehow knew that God was going to pull me out of my troubles, and that everything was going to go fine. I put all my trust in him, and it would be foolish to doubt, as nothing is impossible for him.
Well i think you know what the outcome was of course; all my problems were no longer problems! I actually was totally gged cause so many things going wrong:
I went to school late
I din do my 2 massive projects
I was actually meant to go cycling after school, but i forgot my sports gear

What more could go wrong? K, this is how they went:
As i told u, i remained un-noticed as i came to school 3 hours late
My two projects, amazingly, one of them was extended till monday, and the other, the teacher wasn't there that day, and i casually slipped it under his door after school, which I did during the time I was meant to be cycling; which was canceled! Amazing eh??!

Its actually obvious that God's amazing grace saved me once more, and he is so real! ... I guess i should try to do my work before next time... lol. God deserves all the glory, and ii know i couldn't have done it alone. Praise God!
Oh ya, exams next week! shucks!
Today i got to miss soccer btw! I was kinda tired so praise god for that again! lol cya peeps!

Exams!!! yay!

2008-05-21T02:22:00.000-07:00

hahah i realised that the exams are not too much of a worry anymore, even though they are next week! I must say, all u primary school kids arre lucky! so are year 7 and 8. I reckon real work starts at year 9. Well maybe not hardcore, but a big difference compared to year 8.
This is my work formula:

Got time to facebook and msn every day? = relaxed!
Got no time for that? = hardcore work!

anyway, i gotta get back to my work before i get lazy... so bye all!

Exams! =.=

2008-05-20T02:40:00.000-07:00

Man that math test today was hard! lol.. the last question i took a random guess! well there is a 1 in a trillion chance its gonna be correct.. better than not trying at all! ^^
Shucks time does fly pretty fast eh!? Exams next week! wah liao! My teacher havnt told me anything about them yet lol... i gonna quit facebooking for next week anyway. So i gotta do my hardcore homework now so bye!

2008-05-16T22:36:00.000-07:00

I must say, fridays are my busiest and most tiring days. K firstly, I gotta go school, then after school, I gotta go cycling for school for about 2 hours of intense excerise, then after that, I gotta go straight home and to alpha cause i fibnish school like 4.30. And then to fungus, then to box hill after fungus cause thats my only way home pretty much lol. Oh, and the previous day i got soccer trainuing, and on sat, soccer match really early in morning! wahh so packed eh?
Its cold today... gah! I gonnas do hw before i forget. Byes!

Tests! yay!

2008-05-15T03:26:00.000-07:00

for the last 3 days, the poor year 9's across the country were involved in hardcore, viggerous test! lol! Maybe i exaggerated a little too much; yeh they quite easy i reckon. Today i had the maths tests! haha i thought i sucked at maths, and i was not looking forward to them! But to be honest, i knew most of them cept maybe 3? and i guess them anyway, and i realized that 2 of them that i guessed were acutally right! lol! post-nerdy discussions you see... :D I gotta do my essay that is so hard to concentrate! GAH SOMEONE HELP ME! lol anyway i better goes now :D Bye!

Noobie Way

2008-05-14T03:25:00.000-07:00

oh ic, i am blogging 3 times today! lol! Well i just realized that I happen to get the easy way out of things, and still achieve the grades. For english, we have to read books and review them; about 1 every 2 weeks! My tight schedule (playing bs) is simply unable to read so much. So i am smarter-not so smart child! I read Jeffrey Archer's Short Story books! Seems nerdy eh? Well yeh, I can't review every single story in the book, nor am I expected to, so I just review a small portion of it. Yes, that simply means i read maybe 10 pages when others have to read 300 and I still get the same marks in the end. So ya, that is noobie way number 1.

And also, i am doing a book in school, and i hav to give quotes from the text, and i get all of them from the Authors notes right at the start of the book! hahhahahaah!! It works! So i save myself lots of time, and still achieve the grades.

Lemme tell u this, it seems nearly impossible to fool the extremely experienced teachers at my hardcore nerdy school, especially my english teacher! He been at the school for like 25 years, and is the head of English! Yes, I pwned him! But i think it ok to do noobie style anyway, just a easier path to life! Cya alls

Supanerd!

2008-05-14T02:59:00.000-07:00

All u nerd-wannabes, u know how to be smart and successful in life? There is a saying 'genius is 1% inspiration and 99% pespiration." This practically means that if you want to be smart, it mainly requires hard work and your knowledge has very little effect. This is quite true, cept the 99% is a little exaggerated i reckon. But anyway, if u wanna do well at school, a little conscientiousness may be helpful! ^^ Hav fun nerding all u peeps! Cya!

N/A

2008-05-14T00:50:00.000-07:00

Hiii! All u yeear 9 peoples are lucky! We miss like half our week on school doing fun tests! Today i had englsh comprehension... i completely stuffed it up! wah liao! I guess half the questions :(
Btw, my maths test has been prsponed to monday so i get extra time to study! yay! I gonna sleep early and wake up at 6 am for soccer training lol. And weirdlyn, no i am not 'freaking smart' as u say! XD

Schoolie!

2008-05-13T00:52:00.000-07:00

School I must admit is pretty fun at times. Today and for the next few days i had this statewide test which i dun know the name of. The english test was cool! haha i finished it in 15 mins! lmao!! I got to miss half my day of school and it go for the next 2 days aswell! yay! Anyway, better goes now! Bye!

Mothers Day!

2008-05-12T04:08:00.000-07:00

Soz for not blogging for a while lol. I really couldnt be stuffed, but now i am! :)
Yesterday was mothers day! yay! I realize how blessed I am to have a caring, loving mother. I need to appreciate her more, as she makes many sacrifices for me, even though they may not be obvious. Hooray for aims test thingy! I get to miss soccer training and P.E! hhaaaaa
Cya all peeps! God Bless!

Apreciation

2008-05-08T03:10:00.000-07:00

I am a freak blogger according to weirdlyn! hhaha yeh i am blogging for the 2nd time today. THere is the concept of apreciation; something I sometimes fail to display. I relise how blessed I really am having awesome parents who look after me so well, and all my friends who care for me and make me smile. I wanted to let you know that I appreciate you all. My life seems to be on the edge of survival; I am always somehow getting into problems I can't do anything about. Again, God's grace that has saved me countless times always spares me and pulls me out of my problems. It has been evident so often in my life, I seem to be forgetting how loving my God is. Do we sometimes take things for granted? Our friends? Our family? Or even soemtimes God? I really want to thank God for all he has done for me, and I really want to live a life for him alone. God is Great!
I gonna do homework now hommies. Bye!

NI hao !

2008-05-08T03:03:00.000-07:00

Hi! I havnt blogged for 2 days! wahh! I have lots to blog about lol...
I had soccer training this morning before schhool! Haha I had to wake up like 6 am and play soccer in the cold :) It was fun, but i seem to be 'extra unco' in the mornings! lol!! I completely miss the ball when i try to kick! I enjoyed it though, it is worth waking up for i guess... I need to be less lazy!

One interesting thing I noticed about my school is tests; they always seem to stuff them up in some way. For example, I am sure you guys have exams, which your school takes really seriously. My school does aswell... except for the Indonesian teacher! During the massive end-of-year exam, she actually went to her office in another room when the exam was on, just to rest or something! bad idea! lol! Well duh, of course we opened our textbooks and cheated! Well us all cept for me and a few other good bois. Lmao! today, my science teacher gave this kid a test to do at home!! LOL! I dont think one can resist the temptation of boosting his marks by glancing at the answers even once?? hahaa thats kinda really random... I forgot what else I was gonna blog about... lol cya anyways!

Hihi!

2008-05-06T04:57:00.000-07:00

I can barely keep my eyes open, but i decided to blog :) After school I had soccer training! yay! but no yay cause it was completely raining! I was completely drenched! My homework got extended another day again cause classroom printer gged! hahaaa! I seem too lucky! I better sleep before i accidently sleep now. Bye!
