Hey hey hey hey yo. I don't blog much nor go online for long these days sia... except for facebook which seems so addictive wid all these 'how well do u know me' quizzes proliferating every inch of facebook. At the current moment... I'm sort of (and keen to be) Pastor Peggy's 'Apprentice'... or rather Pastor Peggy's Little Helper :D I learn so much from her n my cell leader Pastor Sunny n like well... they both think someday I could (and I want to!) replicate Ps. Peggy et al... ah well..
If u already know me personally,.. I scarsley think ANYONE would see me as a 'spiritual' person or anywhere along that line. And to be honest I have not been. Everytime and everyday I'll do something stupid or say something silly and end up defeated n 'lost' before God... I hardly talk about God or my faith, n I dont think I've blogged about Jesus much or even proclaim his Word to the people I talk to. Only until rather recently. Ps. Peggy said I have a 'good' mind but I've just used it in the wrong places n corrupted myself. I myself believe I've been corrupted n consistently corrupting myself for the past 28 years or so.. call it bad upbringing but I rather call it a 'lifetime of rebellion and self gratification'. Yes I take full responsibility of my vile nature and I wont compare myself to people 'holier' than me or those who are 'worse' than me. For all I know, I'm just as bad as a sinner as a rapist, murderer, theif and terrorist. *sigh*. Now I sound 'emo'... geez... I'm currently studying the following:
Victory over the Darkness, Realizing the Power of Your Identity in Christ. This is probably the first book every new believer or struggling Christian should read. I've just gone past the first few pages and this should be what I could call the 'foundation' of our faith. A good start. :D
In the Grip of Grace by Max Lucado.. this is what I read in the lunchroom during my breaks at work. Its a biiiiit far fetched... but well I guess its still a good read for nubies. Ahaha!! Ok ok I guess I'm being a bit biased here... but thats just MY opinion. I'm sure others will find this a great read... especially since its main topic is on the doctrine of Grace... which is too often mis-interpreted by even 'seasoned' Christians sometimes...
The Bondage Breaker... this one I havent read it yet but I bought it as well. Bondage Breaker is the sequel to Victory over the Darkness, but of cos it focuses on real-life issues facing Christians all over the world.. habitual sins and 'issues' too dark to be spoken about in public. Lets face it, we ALL wear masks and try to look cool n 'everything is alright' in Church... but in reality... at least in my opinion.. we ALL face many personal issues and 'embarrasing' habits and thoughts and sometimes (more often than not) are STUCK in a cycle of confess-sin-confess-sin which becomes frustrating and often causes Christians to stumble, backslide and sometimes even abandon the faith altogether.
I wonder why am I blogging stuff like this... I normally talk/blog about jokes and silly things. I guess I've been thinking a lot.. plus the discipling sessions I've had with Pastor Peggy is slowly shifting my paradigm of thought patterns and well.. I really wanna be her apprentice. And perhaps 'beyond belief'... I wanna replicate her life and in my own way help others achieve their victory in Christ someday as well.
As for now, I'm MILES away from achieving my own victory... from years of unforgiveness, bitterness, practice of the occult, and submitting myself to all sorts of bondages... bit by bit this big ball of 'knots' will ben un-knotted bit by bit by the the power of my Lord Jesus. Its a long shot but I know I can do it,.. .and someday.. SOMEDAY help others do it as well.
But it all comes with a price... several prices I guess. I... *sigh*.. I get depressed just THINKING about it... I cant be such a clown anymore these days *tho I cant help it sometimes*.. like gotta be more serious n grow in maturity I guess. Its hard... and it sucks!! I wanna play around n make ppl laugh etc etc... but can I really mesh together my personality and also be disciplined in what I discover from these books n discipling sessions? Gyaaah!! *bangs head on desk*
Suddenly I think of this song 'Even the best fall down sometimes'.
I think I just fell.. *sigh* On one hand I'm hopeful to succeed at all this.. on the other... I feel like I'm gonna DIE halfway thru... or I might sound arrogant by doing all this... or ppl gonna laugh at me or wadeva.. *sighhh*. Ah well....
Lord give me your hand... I'm at a loss of words ==

Yay my 1st entry with my new blog skin ahaha. Jus thot I'd pen down some of the stuff I've been reading the past 2 months. I finished 7 Days in Heaven in just a few hours today... partially while walking/sitting around at Apsley earlier. I met the speaker Ps. Emmanuel Twagirimana last night (Sat 18th Apr) in a ministry meeting and was rather astonished at his testimony. Being dead for 7 days after a bomb attack in the Rwanda genocide of 1994, Emmanuel spent some time walking and talking to Jesus in heaven, and he explains a myraid of images which he witnessed beyond the Pearly Gates. Then he was sent back to earth, maggots eating thru his decomposing flesh and all, got up and started preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ to those around him. The way he explained people 'running and screaming' at his appearance was actually quite hillarious. XD GOOD READ
This one my hero Tony Anthony... His grandfather (and grandmaster) has the same surname as myself... so I got the honour of having a private chat with Tony himself earlier at Church today (what a privellege!!) for about 15 mins or so... we talked abt a lot of stuff and I had an amazing time nevertheless. Taming the Tiger is a must read, even after listening to his sermon... as all the dreadful details of his past become unveiled page by page... Its hard to stop once u start the first page. :D
This one is not for the faint hearted. I took a whole month to finish this. In conjunction with doing 1 on 1 discipling with Pastor Peggy (we're going thru the series 'Freedom in Christ for Young Adults' once a week) Set Free provides a hurricane of details on every facet of human sin and deception... its... u cant really read this book by yourself without some guidance from a trained counsellor.Well thats my book reviews for the day. Either Jean or Jane asked me earlier if I liked reading books... thats a tough one. I used to read a lot till I got sick of it... now I'm reading again. I used to feed my brain with so much rubbish until well... u can tell just by the way I talk... its.. quite evident. Full of crap lah y'know. But I guess just recently I decided to START filling my brain with books WORTH reading and listening to worthwhile Christian audio programmes. I've suddenly become a fan of Ps. Kong Hee of the infamous City Harvest Church (I KNOW a LOT of people have nasty things to say about him okay... but try listening to ONE of his sermons and then decide to criticise blehhh). Hahaha... 'infamous' cuz its famous but so many ppl got bad things to say tsk tsk tsk. I love that guy okay... I'm even a 'fan' of Kong Hee in Facebook :D
Wow I've actually written quite a lot for a 1st time.. nice... honestly I wanted to write some really heartbreaking events... but... I guess I can rise above them. God's grace is more than sufficient. And He also requires that we forgive,.. less we condemn ourselves in the proccess of being upset with other people or events.
I guess as a first for ending my blog with this message... 'You do not know when your life will be demanded of you. Do you believe, TRULY believe, in Jesus today?'
I hope so too :D
Ok to those ppl gonna learn how to drive car... ahem.. hehe :D
U might learn this in physics.. whats the word again??
Can anyone tell me what on earth is that animal on the left supposed to be??

Paintings in My Mind
Picture this, you and me
Walking down a white sand beach
We're holding hands, the warm wind blow
We're all alone
All these dreams are fantasies
They're not real, not reality
And now I cry over you, nearly die over you
And all the bits and pieces of us that I try to find
Chorus:
Are only paintings in my mind
Faded memories of another place and time
We were happy as can be
You were loving me
And now it's just an image that I find
Like the paintings in my mind
When you left, I fell apart
I was torn, you broke my heart
And now I cry over you, nearly die over you
And all the bits and pieces of us that I try to find
Chorus
Impressions of the way it was
Long ago, somewhere back in time
Chorus - end.
I think I played this song on da piano when I was at Jean/Jane/Lynn 's house the last time after making Loh Mai Gai for Jean/Gloria/Ash/Shin/Hannah/Xinyi omg I'm making myself jealous!! Ahahaha!! I just sing this song over n over again in my head almost everyday... haiz... Wanna compose my own but my music skills really jus super average sia... not a Jay Chou or an Eminem (or even a Backstreet Boy.. goodness I cant believe the era of boybands!!). Ahahaha! Dangs... I think I'm getting overworked these days... but well its SO worth it (I think)... I'm actually working TOMORROW!!! A SATURDAY!! Thats AWESOME!! ahaha!!! At any rate I think I'm turning into a work-junkie... and loving every minute of it. :D
Even in church I stopped going for lunch... omgoodness... always rushing home to do more work.. hehehehe... even if its buying soil and setting up potted plants just for fun... but I'd rather miss lunch just to labour in my backyard nowadays... I wonder why.... err....
Funny thing a black dude from my workplace asked 'Hey are u Chinese?' I said 'yes', and he replied 'Wo Ai Ni'.... I... um... ewww!!! OMGGGGG ahahaaha!!
ANOTHER interesting event I forgot to mention... I was eating Nachos (it was opened a few days before, I just wrapped it n put it back in the cupboard) and LO AND BEHOLD a COCKROACH jumped out of it!! I NEARLY threw up!! Ran to the bathroom n spat everything out... but HOW did I manage to escape food poisoning??
Using a very cool method.. ahahaha!! Chopped up three cloves of garlic, SWALLOWED them all with a spoon n water. Then down a glass of (1 1/2 teaspoon) of Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with water... BOTH of these are antibacterial so yeah I made a super duber combo. *winks* ahem... burp..
