a purpsoe to hold onto

think of this for a moment...
would it be bright or darkness without God?
would it be happy or sad without God?
would it be grace or ungrace without God?

oh well you should know the answers my friend..With GOD, things are possible! Through Christ who strengthens me!

today celebrated Father's day at church, amazing felt God's presence tangibly as TRUE WORSHIPPERS lead! They were awesome too! Pst Kong preached Fathers day message and the sermon was good! yupp!
---------------------------------------------------------

alright its the last week of PRAYER SEASON! its amazing to see how each one pray and slowly build up their spiritual life!
---------------------------------------------------------
So theres one more week left before school reopens and homework is halfway done thanks to S2E. i think S2e Does really help in making you study.

Went on a guitar hunting tour today to BGW played some TAYLORS and whoosh i finally met my "date", 1997 Taylor 422 Limited Series. Grand Concert. i loved it but i wanted to hunt for more before setting my mind on the perfect one.
The next visit to Sinamex, i shall close my eyes and ask them to place any Taylor in my hands and i shall play them to find the perfect one! really one will match me soon enough, needs time heh! XD

yupp tried the 512CE Full Mahoghony and it was more a strumming guitar, real loud but not much of plucking so nah...heh not what i want!
---------------------------------------------------------

anyway i have pursued happiness and now its found in me! not gonna let it go! yupp

Signing off,

learning

alright it has started and will carry on for 2 weeks...S2E...how i got in was seriously you can say suay. i got 25 and teachers said at first above 25 then they change it to 25 and above

so every morning 8am-130pm its down to studying and doing work! glad it is in 1st level classrooms if not we will all perspire! alright morning, everyone is like really studying (i hope so) and then when it comes to the 2nd self study after the tutorials, which are not helpful at all, everyone becomes restless and does their own things and the teachers really closes one eye on us! really she does!
i can say that both S2E is beneficial and nonsensical. Why nonsense? because of the stupid clogging thingy that you must sign heh! Goodness man! haha =)

anyway i have finished my SS and Geog holiday homework! so its left with English, Sciences, and the Maths too!

nothing else to say already but to everyone, have a blessed time in S2E if you are and if you are not, enjoy the holidays!

WALKING WITH ABUNDANCE WITH GOD

Let me share with you what i've learnt at church when Rev Dr Robb THompson came..

WALKING WITH ABUNDANCE IN LIFE

All of life revolves around the fact that God does not lie! everyone should know that..if you don't, check out NUMBERS23:19...

alright 4 keys in walking in abundance:

1. Your prosperity is the product of your own construction.

you reap what you sow my friends...

2. Those who prosper in life make decisions that create the future they desire, while those who lack make decisions that create the present they desire.

Proverbs 11:24-25 (New King James Version)

24 There is one who scatters, yet increases more;
And there is one who withholds more than is right,
But it leads to poverty.
25 The generous soul will be made rich,
And he who waters will also be watered himself.


3. IF you think like you've always thought, you'll get what you've always got.

John 6:63 (New King James Version)

63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.


4. Everything in life will remain a seed until the moment is sown.

John 12:24 (New King James Version)

24 Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.


Friends 4 very simple principles to unlock the doors in life! God wants to bless us so lets sow our seeds and let see God's abundance grace and love flow through us!

alright, back to where i am! this is home! searching for a place for my own! this is home, yeah this is home! i done all my searching, after all my questions i found things, brand new mindset!

Kinda inspired by the song THIS IS HONE by Switchfoot who did the soundtrack for Narnia! yeah i mean the songs really tells us how we found our home and how much we treasured for now we know this is home! the real meaning of spending time with our family, where we found peace! i mean if you dun think abt the song now and you think of your real home! i mean life happens at your home! your parents are there! your siblings are there! everyone is there! the place where you sleep, eat, rest, work, enjoy! its a place where we belong yeah!

hmmm next week is S2e! heh oh man i got in very unexpectedly.. it was to be above 25 and then it changed to 25 and above for L1R5 so yeah here i am and foop, i am in S2e....oh well hope i am gonna benefit more than at home doing work! haha

2 more weeks and school starts once again!

i mean school life reopens again! after Nepal, i began to appreciate much more from studies ever since i was surprised by the Nepal little students from their smartness! i guess they are like almost our standards or maybe better for some! i mean they study real hard to achieve what they want and what are we doing now man!

in the past it was like if i didn't know any question, i would jsut heck it but now i must understand the qs before moving on man! its a totally different mindset! changes mentally, spiritually and physically man!
Nepal indeed tested us when we were there although it was service learning and yupp we all should learn from experiences yeah!

God bless all as i am away now...

Prince Caspian






Watched the show today and yeah kinda liked it but i think the book illustrated it better! hahah

"ALL YOU KNOW IS ABOUT TO CHANGE!" Aslan

Yeah the show was good but i think representation could be better with the water thingy heh but the plot line was similar to the book and yeah i liked it! FOR NARNIA! the new character Caspian was the right guy for it especially with the accent sounded real like one of them and yeah they chose the right guy!

GREAT SHOW!

oh yes THIS IS HOME was like the end so if ya wanna catch it, you gotta wait till the end or else buy the CD from popular! yepp

ps. those who want see Nepal pics, go to facebook.

Each day i on the mac and look through the days photos and it justs leaves me with the compassionate love and care for the kids. Although it was just service learning, i think we did serve the kids well and yeah, i mean we did it!

Nepal 2008

alright just got back yesterday on the 2nd june at 1055pm. Trip overall was amazing for me as i got to know many new friends that went for the trip as well as the Nepali young kids. Keff, Jasie. These 2 little friends were smart and cute haha. Oh well, we started off doing the digging and we finished digging half of the way, and the rest of the groups carried on the rest laying the pipes and it was beack to us to cover up the pipes.
We taught the young students Maths and to our surprise, they were indeed very smart! Primary 5&6 students really know how to do BODMAS (order of operation) and even all those huge numbers things man! amazing kids!
We also painted their school building and it was painted blue for the windows and inside white walls and we did the cememnting of the floor!

Each day ended off with a reflections for us to reflect how much work we have done and how we have impacted the kids and to me, i felt that what i did was benefiting the kids for their future.
CARPEDIUM! i mean seizing the moment. Mrs Lyann posted a question to us whether did we convey a msg out to the kids and whether we had any regrets...to me, being one that paid the trip using my own, i believed that i made full use of what i had, my talents placed in me and used them to bless the kids with new facilities. i managed to get the msg across one kid. here how it went.

Kid: Hey man, why are you doing this?

Me: We are here from Singapore, and we are helping you to build better facilities for you to learn better in a good environment!
You know kid, what we are doing is to help you but the other portion comes from you. You must seize the moment always. ( i told him the word CARPEDIUM)

Kid: seize! seize!

Me: yes you must always do that! do your best and achieve your dreams, Yeah!

It ended off with a handshake and he thank me for what i did for him and i hope he would carry on telling his friends or at least he himself pursue on, achieving his dreams!


the day we left the school was the heartbreaking one. we saw the students just happy to see their new school and also seeing the new water finally available at their school. seeing their smiles was a happy one and i really felt that what we did was really going to stay in our hearts forever! i mean that was all about service learning! SERVANTHOOD! service! learning!

indeed we have brought the kids into our fairfield family and the kids are going to be in my heart and i will remember my conversation with the kid on the last day!

CARPEDIUM friends!

Friday, May 02, 2008

this week is kinda a lax week i must say with the mid years gone but upcoming events such as CHINESE Os! however the reward comes immediately after that with the NEPAL'08!

i believe many things are going to happen! been praying about my devotions and i believe it will be a blessing to many! pursuing of excellence, the heart of a servant for christ, servanthood, thinking with excellence, persereverence! all these will indeed be great sharing of the word of God!
BEing devotion IC is one thing but what is important that what i will be sharing will help us to grow physically, mentally and spiritually! its not about sharing the word of god but its also the heart of one who is willing to serve god and give out out best! its the same as serving people! just like what jesus did when he was on earth! going around helping people! serving them! providing for their needs!

after hearing so much things that we gonna do in Nepal, i really believe that what we do will touch lives! AMEN!

so we are looking forward to it! what about you!


Bertram Brandon

kings of kings

i commit everything into your hands, God!


cant wait for NEPAL'08! with all the discussions with my design and devotion commitee, everythings sounds fun! and i am sure you peeps who are going nepal will like the shirt, specially designed by Mr Lim too! (:

met them today and it was a fruitful to start off the plannings! oh well looking forward but there seems to be a blockage, hmm CHINESE Os man! one day before we leave lah! raah! why like that?

anwyay gonna do my best in it too! yeah

alright gonna prepare more devotions!

James 1:2-4
2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
you alone are God above, you alone are worthy of and with all i am my soul will live your name!


this was what i always had in my mind and even through chapel, there were walls after walls of breakthrough! the spirit of opposition was there, it was not technical but it was tough to breakthrough! having a chance to lead the school in a time of praise and worship was great however, the expetantcy wasnt there! my passion to see revival was coming but i believe it will move slowly! amen! that was chapel and also with my mic kinda going bonkers for the first 2 songs in which i worked so hard to get the voice or marty sampson out and it wasnt heard hahah! XD

oh well its the season of the exams too! went in with the lord's guidance as he guided me through the papers and there was nothing i could fear of because he was with me!
thats all for now!

aint it pretty long ever since i updated...almost more than a week hahah (:

anyway thats because have been really busy with homework, tuition, classes and so on and so forth! apart from that many things happen during this period, some were good and bad news.

not mentioning too about today's human badge making process as the head start of Fairfield's countdown and it was kinda hot with the sun but it was nice as we counted down and balloons flew up into the skies! after that went to help Mr Tan show the previous days debate to the debators to do a short debrief on what happened and yeah, after that i went to church and now back home getting down to work once again!

well enough of school, i always remembered what this person always share with me as i co-wrote with him songs that he always place thoughts in my mind that would always encourage me and we will always achieve it! with our goals planned, we will get there!God is an awesome God! our savior lives!

alright time for some pictures!

a day of agony or a day of enriching?

Enriching day i must say with all the stations for NAPFA tests, just left with the 2.4km run in which i think can be able to get a B in it! Today as earlier have been said, NAPFA tests and i got all As for it man! Pull ups was great, standing broad jump after a few tries got the grade, shutter run was naturally there, sit ups was kinda nonsense but i did really the A grade standard kinds although some of them were counting abit too fast or a little slower but i shant mention them cause they did not cheat!

oh man...also a grueling day man! i have been like nagged and lectured about my studies and yeah, gotta have some salt and hardwork into it man! where is the aspiration man?!?!

AFter NAPFA, heated myself with deep heat and it felt really shiok! till the after effects came i think, my chest started to ache and my arms began to slowly not move as quickly as the muscles tensed! basically i was playing caps against a team which had more than our team and it was a game so we just played for fun! great time!

Now i am sitting like a dead duck trying to fly on my bed, reading my bible and preparing a sermon for some groups of people and as well getting inspirations for my new songs which i am co-writing with faithful LAI ZI JIE! i must say he has a great future ahead of him! AMEN!


Bertram Brandon

get low down to studies guys!!

alright after a day of studying and sporting, you become tired!
today school was kinda different starting off with the human crest making session with primary school. hmm weather was particularly hot and i mean the primary students were like having so much fun whacking NAthaniel and Dexter, apparently calling him lobster and its kind funny for a primary student to do so! hahaha sorry dexter and nathaniel!

hmmm no more tests for this week and its kinda slack but still must study yeah! i mean mid years are coming, prelims are coming, biggy Os is coming! hahah

yeah, cant wait for easter! salvation is here people!


Bertram Brandon

Tuesday, March 18, 2008

tests....

alright i guess i would be able to reach the passing mark for SS seq and sbq...oh man i mean the questions were not what i expected but i think i did them OKAY-ily and i think i can only pass? XD
Anyone knows why is SS called social studies? isnt it supposed to be like learning how to socialise or even learning about how social life is doing? oh man why is Singapore, terrorism classified under social studies?!? WHY WHY WHY!its a thought to think of but its the thoughts that counts yeah...

alright moving on to chapel, oh man its really funny today! the band consisted of Joel, Kenneth, Nathaniel and firstly, Kenneth just tuned his bass while the song was playing and that is kinda fascinating and secondly, me and nathaniel swap places for the drums for the last song in which was not played because somehow they wanted to give principle more time and the teachers to teach us games which is like how easy man...and furthermore we are to play it with the primary school! time to meet those buddies if i can find him/her! hahah
oh well, that was chapel!

now, ended the school wanting to study but instead it was fun time with my favourite buddy who is one encourager, motivator, warrior for Christ and a fellow composer to me, no other than LAI ZI JIE! I mean you people must really sometimes tahan with his nonsense because his nonsense are rally abit kinda sensical(not sure if thats spelt that way) but anyway he is a nice guy lah please..your people dont know how much joy and laughter he brings man although sometimes it gets irritating but its fun to have him! i really thank god for him! yeah =D
oh well spent time with him composing our 6th song and it turned out well with the interruption of Titus but he helped us record with his beautiful singing in which cant match to XJ and me so since he can sing we got him to do the recording with us too and the sound quality wasnt good because its a good recorder for a good recording man! hahah but at least we accomplish something great out of it!
so much so for Zi jie!

tomorow suppoed to wear some black or blue shirt so i guess will be wearing my sec2 class jersey and yepp, its blue with abit of red but its okay as long i dun get caught! muahahahah!

so i guess that all for now!

ever thought whats so special about SS (social Studies)?

people see it as to know their country better as well as see how much the country or other country has develop their nation! also we see like the different cultures in diff nations and i mean there are so much concepts to take note when it comes to studying for ss plus remembering the formats of SBQ and SEQ questions because there is a procedure to follow when answering! oh my! why is SS like that when its just lerning about Singapore or other countries! i mean its like writing a story when it comes to essay man! a story on how development of strategies and i mean weighing the factors plus saying your stance! oh man! oh BARMA!~~~~~~~~~~

thats how much SS is all about! haha plus when it comes to not having a good teacher then its creates more trouble! unfortunately i must say a portion partial fraction of it is happening now!

its busy time mugging for Chemistry and SS for this week! and not sure about other tests but if its physics that is no problem for me! i can do well for that subject!

time to really study hard for Os man and also serve GOD too in my ministriesss!!!! yeah! easter is coming soon! yipee!

and now its back to studying! mugging you can say that too!

Saturday, March 15, 2008

spent the day with Shaun and Zi jie today at Buddy Hoggies, studying for music test tomorow! our theory is tomorow! same with Shaun and Zi Jie was like "DONT MUSIC ME AH!". In the end, Shaun asked him whether he wanted to join our band because due to some reasons we needed one as we planned for the After O-levels lists of things to do! CHARISMA is something i would wanna carry on as we worship God through our own composition and indeed Zi Jie and I have been doing so ever since i told him a suggestion in composing and ideas have been flowing as well as Shaun writing Poems! SOUNDS EXCITING!

After that went for tuition again for Maths and here i am at home revising for tomorow expensive Music theory test!
Thats all for now!

song #1

Movement of love


This world we live in
A city set on a hill
Violence is on the floor
As we hit the core



All my hopes and dreams
Can they mean a thing
Cause…


Our love reigns, shining all over the earth
Brightening up the days with love up in the skies
Politicians won’t decide the fate
But we will keep the faith


Love reaches out across the skies
What we needed so much more
And all across the earth are looking for meanings
For light will shine cause…


Our love reigns, shining all over the earth
Brightening up the days with love up in the skies
Politicians won’t decide the fate
But we will keep the faith
Do not conform!


A meaning of resistance
Awaits for much more
Maybe all our fears are gone
What could we wait for more
Love is a movement
One love One supreme
One life living it
The movement of love


Our love reigns, shining all over the earth
Brightening up the days with love up in the skies
Politicians won’t decide the fate
But we will keep the faith

guidance from GOD above

sometimes God plans things to happen...really imparted out something today! Praise GOD! i mean its something that has changed me from inside out...apart from that, today it was something that brought me on to my 4th song composition and i believe this song will impart out true faith and it will bless lives...should title it From God Above All!

today was pretty fun and tiring when it came to the end. met pris, shaun, xing ya for lunch at school before proceeding to vivo and then back to school. ate at some dim sum place at vivo which had to pay 1 buck for ice water to be served so we did not order that much food. pretty bad place! walked around and back to school eating jelly beans from candy empire. first time eating! woohoo...tastes great!

back to school, psp-ed for a while before debate where we learnt about rebuttals and stuff. cool exercise. after that went for tuition and back home! tired and drained out physically but spirtually revived once again!

once was gone, but now alived

oh mine last night was horrible man. i mean drinking Barcade and bang there i was with Thapana talking nonsense during class BBQ! Shaun then came as really tossed the madness out of Thapana and oh boy, Thapana went really mad with me laughing madly too! Horrendous and horrible and vegetable night! WE were RED in the faces! there were more people also mad too jsut that i cant remembered!

But before that i was basically barbequ-ing the food for 2 hours standing at the pit, cooking the food! i almost wanted to sacrifice myself man! the heat was so hot! plus the weather was drizzling! i think the clouds were drunk too, one minute it was raining abit heavier then subside then again pour like siao! thank god for umbrellas!

okay enough of the bbq, damn it man i think i still have side effects..how many blog posts today already! ah...crapped! okay now having a soar throat!
but as a whole, the bbq was fun i suppose. those who left for i dunno why they claim that they had no food, in the first place, they should come and ask us to cook for them! apparently they waited for the food to come but inthe end nothing came so, firstly sorry for not lettng your know and seondly, next time ask us!!!!!

yeah!

one generation neeeds a revolution

hello...

!I HEART REVOLUTION!
If we understand what is to love as a generation as God commanded us to do,
to love God and to love people than it would change the world we are living in!
We need to start learning it out and not only jump around praising God but to be changed from inside out, to make a difference,pursue justice, to help the lost,help the broken!

Making a difference in the marketplace is indeed what we are to do.we all have a short time on earth, and when we go to heaven, GOD will ask us what have we done on Earth?
Have we fulfilled our purpose in culture, by impacting the marketplace, penetrating the marketplace.

Lets all go out and do our part! Fulfill the commandments of God!

---------------------------------

Alright moving on,
this week was really i must say long and tiring! Almost everyday had to stay back in school because of CCA or remedials or to study! Last friday had JGs and we won the debate!

::SERVANTHOOD::

POWER, POSITION, PURPOSE


was in church today and i caught a revelation instantly through the preaching of the word on SERVANTHOOD..

John 13:1-3
Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet
1 Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.
2 And supper being ended,[a] the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,


Who are we in Christ Jesus? What are the talents that we have? What is our purpose?

Here we see the creator of the Earth kneeling before disciples, washing their feet. Usually it is meant to be the lower class people as servants to cleanse the guests feet but nonce of the disciples are wanting to do it. Why? I must say they were fighting for their positions. We can relate this to the world where we see people not willing to serve because of titles, fame and things that make us feel so royal but is this what are suppose to care about?
Jesus saw this and he was the one that humbled himself and wash their feet. He served out of SERVANTHOOD The expression of his love is the same as giving to God.LOVE WITH SERVING!

Jesus is our example. We must go out and serve one another in the kingdom of God. Jesus said, "Be a servant of all!"
Like he has claimed in the bible that he would reward us by saying, "Well done my good and faithful SERVANT!" its not well done my good and faithful king, its not my good and faithful president its not my good and faithful teacher. What is it? its MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT! so are you ready to step out in Faith and start serving God?

3 keys about servanthood:

1. Servanthood is the key to promotion

Phil2:5-7
The Humbled and Exalted Christ

5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.


Let the mindset and attitude be in you! Our attitude determines our altitude! Have the same attitude Jesus had, taking the form of a servant. This is the perfect way of how Jesus humbled himself. You may think that why did Jesus do such a thing? i mean he could have come with so much power like a powerful military general but he took the form of a servant. Someone who serve everybody with no choices at all, for all times.
I must say that his attitude of servanthood was highly exalted by God. Total complete exaltation, total promotion!

God will work in us to shine in the marketplace.An example of JOSEPH is someone we can take as an example for us to question ourselves whether can we even serve non-believers? Look how much God blessed Joseph that made him the governor in the bible.

2. Servanthood is the key to authority

TO be able to serve will be able to provide a reward to enter into the joy of the lord. "RULERSHIP!" God claims this in the bible many times as he served.

Matthew 25:20-23 (New King James Version)

20 “So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ 21 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ 22 He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’ 23 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’


3. Servanthood is the key of destiny

Genesis24:15-20
15 And it happened, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. 16 Now the young woman was very beautiful to behold, a virgin; no man had known her. And she went down to the well, filled her pitcher, and came up. 17 And the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please let me drink a little water from your pitcher.”
18 So she said, “Drink, my lord.” Then she quickly let her pitcher down to her hand, and gave him a drink. 19 And when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.” 20 Then she quickly emptied her pitcher into the trough, ran back to the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.


HE was thirsty and he thought who was going to be blessed today? there came a lady and she served him and his 10camels. i mean you know camels drink plenty of water so you should expect a strong lady to be helping him but its not only that but its through the actions she did that brought a destiny ahead. Her serving opened the door for prosperity. So therefore if you want to prosper, you must serve. We will manifest Jesus into the marketplace!

as a close, let me ask you this few questions?

Will we serve God wholeheartedly?
Why cant you serve when there are so much opportunities and WISELY bring the presence of God into the marketplace?


Step out of your comfort zone and start serving!


God bless!

A passion

::PASSION::REVIVAL::JESUS::

Today chapel practice was one of the best, i just felt God's presence fill the hall although it was a practice. We werent practice but we just came together and worship as hannah lead. I believe that we are the people, the people in our generation that is going to make the difference in society. TO share with all, God gave me a vision showing me a bunch of students ready to praise God as we played for praise and worship. I mean i saw many students jumping, on fire for our lord as we lead! Right from then on, i started to position myself to be ready to catch the opportunity God has given to me to lead and play for chapel. To make a difference in the society, impacting through the music as well as we worship him. It was not about the practice but it was the time spent together sharing with one another our visions for chapel and i believe God is going to move in a powerful and miraculous way in the next coming chapels. God is whom we will serve and spread his love around. The presence was to tangible as i stood and worship him.Imagine all of us coming together ready to catch the fire of God and praise and even share the gospel with others. How wonderful would that be to see the lost turn to Christ!

Indeed Jim has spoken something into my heart today and i thank god for the inspiration, i shall not say it here but what he said was really something i also felt in me and we belive along with Zi jie and Caleb that revival is gonna come to FMSS! Stand together and persevere for God is out provider and our strength is in him!

Alright, after practice, i went to follow Zi Jie to his class and i just sat outside their classroom meditating on Gods word. Then Words came into me and i started to write them down and i composed them into the song. Jie and came along and we did up the song and now its almost done. We will record it soon and yeah havent thought of a title yet but it will be something i feel motivation to all of you people out there who has been fervent and loving God! After that, went with his class to IKEA to eat but because he had not enough money, we went to the hawker centre nearby and left back to school, catching a ride from Lynnette!
Today is a long dy but i have learnt alot from todays prayer and worship session.
Praise to be GOD!

God bless all! AMAZING GRACE!

Stayover@RYANs/Singapore Airshow

every day i think about how i have done each day and how i have lived it! i always want to make the fullest of everything and see what results can be achieved.

well one of the things was to be able to spend time with "long lost"friends. i mean it is as a friend that you used to always hanged out with but somehow things changed so both drew away but were still friends! i must say RYAN TAN is one great dude buddy to me ever since i knew him pri.6 i think. Great Friend!

Stayed over at his place on Friday night because we were going for the airshow with Caleb and Tomio the next morning. So Caleb and I stayed over and slept at like 3am because we were watching MI:2! i must say that show is the best o out of the 3 series man! great storyline and excitement is there all the time!

Slept on the sofa till the next day with aircon on, and i was not used to it! but its an experience.

Moving on, the next day Saturday (today), we left with Ryan's dad to Changi exhibition centre and yeah we went to see the static display forst where the models of the planes like F16, F15, and many other helicopters and fighter jets, not forgetting the A380. i remembered clearly the last time i went with Ryan, we could not go on board the A380 because of certain reasons but this time it was only by invitation only so Ryan's dad did his work with his colleagues and we went on board. It was a dream come true! i mean the experience going on board it is amazing man! the interior was great! the cockpit i must say was amzing! i sat on the pilots' seat in which an hour later it was going to be flown for the airshow display! what an honour and yeah it wasnt the ones used for commercial flying but it was the test model that was used to fly around before more A380s were made into flying. I mean it must be proven to be good before carrying on right!
After that we went into the inner displays where it was more of the trade center but we managed to try the flight simulators of the T50 which was Ryan. he aspires to be a pilot so we gave him an opportunity! yeah! (: Well done RYAAN!

After that, we got the small model of the T50 from the directors and we left off to see other booths for more goodies! After that, we went to the chalets. alright before carrying on, i must say that in order to go into the chalets, you need to be invited only and thats why its a privelege to do so. we went into the chalets like the Lockheed Martin, Boeing and i cant rememebr the other one. but as a whole it was great! we had lunch in the chalet with such great food before the airshow display started! I mean we ate alot because it was nice! Yummy!

Alright, then came the airshow display! Started off with the KNIGHTS! i mean they are great with all the coordination and stunts they performed! great display. after followed the F16, T50 F35 and the A380! all great displays and the last display was also the best i saw too, the Australia Acrobatics! they used the PIlatus to performed and really, they were as good as the Knights and that really made me amazed at their performance!

As a whole i must really say, it was like a VIP experience and yeah, if you got a chance go for it! its not to be missed! i will post the pics here on somewhere so you can have yourself a look at the pictures of the planes and the displays!

tomorow is the ARENA and yeah i hoped FMSS wins over NAnyang girls man!

God bless!

Thursday, February 21, 2008

Alright its left with Physics test tomorow and thats leaves lit and a maths next week with the airshow and arena as enjoyment. Pretty tired today with all the ccas, tuitions and waiting for the relaxation to come!

apart from that, today was tiring day la. Nothing much to say once again, borrowing Potae's cam for pictures for airshow so i guess i will be taking alot of pics and yupp, thats all for now.

its HAPPY BRITHDAY to Xue Ning! Rusell! Baby cousin! (:

God bless,

buttleflies and hurricanes



Love the harmonizing part for the bassist. i mean he is great with his tapping skills!

ceasing the moment...

"its really what we have on the inside that makes us win!"

Today watched FMSS have their last match and sadly we lost to the opponent. But at least they tried their best, its not to say they are lousy or what but its the endurance they have to pursue on and finish it no matter what. They still deserve an applause for they are the ones that represent the school, the best out of the best.

Apart from that, good job guys!
Their coach was really wanting them to win with his instructions and yeah although some flip flops happen... (:

Well, thats that but after that, i went to play soccer with the sec2 and 3s at the Street soccer court. Basically tired myself out and now i must study for Emaths test tomorow and also my music performing test tomorow too. SCARY!!!

So thats 3 down 3 more to go!

I would like to say this to all..."We must all lean to grab hold of every opportunity that comes, if not your dream will just pass you by!"

God bless!

BANDAGE/JG

Today was kinda hmm i must say long and tiring but with help of someone, i managed to survive. Its always good to have someone to talk to you and be there for you all the time so i appreciated it. hahah (:

lets start with BANDAGE! i was basically pushed in by Ching Sheng who needed parts for the keys for his band, Absolute to play so i kinda helped them. We arrived at MGS, signed ourselves in and there we were on stage performing assassins by MUSE. Sounded pretty well with me backing up Ching Sheng in forseto. I didnt know i could go that high but it was an experience. Nats drums was pretty okay till ahem. nothing to say but its was good bah.

After MGS we went to PLMGS, not to get numbers but for the JGs debate in which we were kinda late but at least managed to support Robert during his reply. Well we won the debate and after that we headed to Chinatown for dinner. was super hungry till i ate 4 course meal i think or maybe 5 course hahah

apart from that, its back down to mugging for tests this coming week. its too many test man but at least mondays and tuesday are free. even then its still studying!

resolutions for Valentine'08/band/debate

Alright from the title you can already tell what am i going to say but there is always a but...

Valentine is coming soon and yeah everyone is real excited about getting something about their loved ones but to really share mine, its not about what you gonna give but really how much you appreciated the person to you. And really, i'm not going to give anything at all. Why? i dun believe in giving out of the sake of giving but the best thing i would want is to spend the time with the one. Each person has all its own decisions to make and yeah, i have mine and i decided. no gifts, no roses, nothing. Nothing is precious as much as time. and really a though hit me through many encouragements especially from best friends that we have always are there for you. the thought was that if i had not been daring enough for you, what if i added an "L" to daring and it would be DARLING! so i have been thinking through to how to spent this day but having thought so, i shall not even spend it like everyone would do because i do not want to do something for the sake of the speciality man. i would rather nature takes it course and let everything go as nature would take it too. If it would be a reject, so be it! if its acceptance, that would be awesome to have your trust in someone's heart. this is my resolution for valentine day. "L + Daring === DARLING!"


alright enough of those, moving on. Have been once again thinking through how am i going to progress my band Charisma after having a chat with Shaun Tan, great poet writer and motivator. my plans...well i must say that i will still live on with my band and yep, really i feel that Charisma is going to go far. Prayed about it! received a word and really it showed me that there was a bright future ahead of us!
LEtS go CHARISMA to shine GOD's love in the marketplace!

Well also Debate is going on pretty well just that the debating championships Julia Gabriels is on this friday starting off with the 1st round and me in the SPAR team, i believe that our main team will make it through. They can do it! let s go all out guys. also 24 feb is the ARENA rounds of filming and yeah tickets are going to be available and yeah according to Mr Tan, more instructions will be instructed before we can release any other info. hahah (:

well thats all for now.
For my friends and loved ones, I love you all especially you...

After CNY, it was the trip to FICO sports hub with Thapana, Pritish, Eduardo, Nathaniel, Dexter, Marcus Koh, Jun Rong, Ivan and MR Lum. We played from 1-3 and we were very tired after everything.

!REVIVAL!

Today had cell and really the message impacted me! this was what it was about...i believe you should really read it and use it practically if you want to see hearts turn to Jesus Chirst!

3 Truths we need to know:
i know what i'm going to say is really very simple and you can look at it and say, "Oh yar la, obviously everyone would do it!" but let me say this to you...what you read on will impact your life totally and touch hearts of many!

Truth #1: We are responsible for the condition of our environment
(You must be thinking that obviously right, Singapore is Clean and green city, must keep clean) NO! i'm not talking about how to keep the environment clean and play our part. I'm talking about how we are the people of god are to reach out.

2 Chronicles 7:14 (New King James Version)

if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.



Truth #2: The key to change is in our hands.

We are to be in the marketplace, to influence the marketplace, and penetrate the marketplace to let God's love shine through! Let s get serious and down to business if we want to see hearts turn to Jesus AMEN! To do this, we must always go back to the Word of God. There is where we find our strength and power to bind the devil and the more we pray , the more power we have to spread the gospel around andnothing will be able to prevent us from fulfilling God's purpose.

Truth #3: Bind and lose through Prayers
Yes indeed God will always be there for us whenever we pray and sek him.

Matthew 18:18-19 (New King James Version)

18 “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
19 “Again I say[a] to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.


What can we see here, the place of agreement is the place of power! AMEN! let me share with you this short analogy which will help you to PRAY!
it is the P.U.S.H === Pray Until Something Happens
Keep praying and always put god first in whatever you do! HE will be there. Thats why there should always be prayer meetings. so whose ready to pray and be on fire for a REVIVAL!

well there are 7 areas in which we need to bind for friends and let God's blessings flow through their lives.We must focus on these few areas to pray for them! here they are...

Health
Ability to work
Relationships
Vision
Emotion life
Spiritual life
Thought life

So what do you get after praying for them you will see a HARVEST!

THE PLACE OF AGREEMENT IS THE PLACE OF POWER!

Hypermusic - Muse

craze haze

Today was more of a tiring day, didnt blog much for the past few days because there was nothing much apart from Thursday School's special programme on target settings basically in which after the talks which ended about 1030am, i broke one of the glass windows in school. More of my own form classroom with a ball! Ended up in the office for a 20 minute chat on how glass is made by one of the staff and just to go about the time to ask in the end to pay 10 bucks for it! your think would be a crazy thing but yes it was and if you havent noticed it yet, the broken glass is at rm109 if i'm not wrong that it is the 3rd or 4th window from the bottom of lockers!

BROKEN GLASSES!


After that i left with some peeps to vivo city just to spend time with the special peep to me for lunch at food republic after making such many decisions and yeah, something spooky happened. not spooky, make it , scary! Baby cockroaches came out of the table and crawled around one of the food so we had to get it changed! it wasnt from the food stall cleaniness but the table so actually we would not be able to get a new set of food but because we said it was dirty and stuff, they gave us a new one so there we had the new food set.
Bought a RUBIK's cube and yes i'm looking forward to solve it in the fastest time as possilbe but for that, its going to take a long time so paitience is needed for me to solve it man!

Apart from all those fun, the best thing is that i had most fun hanging out with the speciality choice of my 'dish' and i loved the time spent! after that went back to school for cca and there was a short filming about us debating from mediacorp so yeah, there we were, on TV?!? "i hope so!"

today was friday and rainy day. nothing much except the journey back with Pritish back home. Great time spent also. I mean how friends can be so great presence to you! ther ones you loved so well! (:
