Long time no blog, so shall bombard this entry!
(4 May)
6th May! The very day I was born exactly 20 years ago, in which the hands of God has crafted so uniquely! (Yes He did!)
Spent a great time with my ex-group back in High-School era! Everyone whom I worked closely with was there and it was such a memorable and nostalgic time we had! It was really a great surprise planned by my very good buddy, David Ong! LOL!
I was asked to meet @ AMK MRT Station, and there came 3 gou-zeis, saying they have a surprise and they want to blindfold me right there in the train station, at first I was so reluctant to do it because it looks as though I'm was being kidnapped and also, it looked really awful! However, I felt obliged so I just follow their act, moreover, they should be the one who should be embarrassed cos their faces were bared and mine was covered! LOL!
They took me around AMK HUB and the final location was actually AMK Ministry House... HAHAHA! They wanted to give me a surprise, so they had to subject themselves to be seen by passers-by and their security in the Lord, tested; by leading me, the "visually-challenged" person!
So finally we reached the final destination after 897634797566734568123524757.732km of walking from AMK MRT Station to AMK Ministry House!
They actually FORCED me to wear my secondary school uniform, borrowed courtesy by Justin! HAHAHA! Just when I thought I'll never see that white top with dark blue pants!
Spent a fruitful time with them, eating and laughing and joking and remembering the past, how old-fashioned our dress-sense were...
They presented an impromptu skit for me, depicting my life (before, during and after I received and dedicated my whole service to God!)
Brought so much memories and laughter when they tried so hard to mimic my actions back then!
It reminded me of my rebellious & disobedient past and how grateful I am to the blood of Jesus which saved me 5 years ago!
Really glad to be blessed to be a blessing back in North in High School, thanks guys and gals, for giving me such a great surprise! Thanks for the well-wishes!

Spent a great time with T-NS group as well at Istana Park, some games to warm us up before they surprise me with a cake. Really thank God for all the brothers in NS griup, really appreciated all your affirmation and gifts, blood is thicker than water, but SPIRIT is THICKER than blood! Oh yeah, talking about 'spirit', I received a bottle of wine, courtesy of Jeremy & Gabriel, and they forgot to remove the price tag. -_-''' LOL!
I'm so overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of group and I really wish to see a stronger bond and unity, how great it would be if we're like the people back in Acts 2! Fellowshipping with one another DAILY! And lending one another and not treating their belongings as their own!
I never believe unity is judged by strength & attendance, those are merely by-products of being united as one. Being united is being one in heart, having transparency in the group, willingness to serve one another in humility and working hand-in-hand even though we all have differences, to build the Kingdom of God! United We Stand, Divided We Fall!
(13 May)
First time playing for service (Mothers' Day ESS) and the feeling of praising & worshipping God with the drums and cymbals is utterly phenomenon! It's really beyond description and the only thing I could do was to sit in awe and allow the Holy Spirit to lead me!
When I saw multitudes of people praising & worshipping God on saturday, I had to believe He's real not only in my life, but in each and everyone of our lives...
I remembered seeing a Mother sitting in the front row, tearing and sobbing during the first praise, "Shepherd", when everyone else was jumping with joy. Immediately, it touched me and I felt something stirring. I was tearing for this Mother in my heart too, I felt the same burden as I was playing and these are the moments that shows that God is in fact working in our lives! I can sense that she's relieved and she has found peace in God's presence in God's house, and she regards God as her own Shepherd, never forsaking or abandoning her even though she turned her back many times to God. Sounds familiar, isn't it? I am guilty of that too, and that's the reason why I felt the stirring...
Thank You God, you're so real in my life! Thank You for all the blessings that has overwhelmed me totally!
