I know you probably can’t watch these videos here. But please do click on these links and watch them on youtube.

I’m sure many of you would have seen this two videos in facebook and in youtube. I came across them too, and they touched the very core of my heart, especially the second video.

Watch what happens when Memphis read the love letter her mum wrote for her. It is not discipline or the strict parents that turn these rebellious lives around. Watch again. It is Love. They ought to rename this documentary! Zaine and Memphis received love from their family and from the Chua family. And even the most hardened, stony hearts are made tender again with a little shower of love.

Now lets not forget, love comes from God. =)

And everyone’s just searching for love, isn’t it?

More time for ministry, more for the Brigade, more for God. =)

I’ve stepped down. =) Memories from the 20th Management committee will definitely be missed. Those busy times..

Its been a really long time since I had the luxury of sitting down and typing in my thoughts. I’m into the 4th week of the semester already. I’m looking forward to see what are the things that God will do, the places and people where God will bring me to. Besides lacking behind in my studies, a little emotional thoughts at times, and the little hoo haa about my roomates, I’d say life has been pretty good! =)

Its a real pity that I am no longer rooming with my best buddy in NTU. I really thank God for him. Besides Sherman and gang, Shi Chie and gang, its really rare that I can find another brother again in NTU.

Time for lessons! Will come back again with some photos! =)

I will blog soon!

I don’t know what happened. Just click on the link above to see the video. I think Singapore WordPress just stepped up their security. Now I can’t embed youtube videos. No tagboards, I can’t communicate with my readers. =/

Hundreds raised from the dead. Manna appearing in the Pentagon. Gemstones falling from the sky. Teenagers healing perfect strangers on the street. This isn’t old time religion. This is a new beginning. A spiritual revolution. This is the Finger of God.

A really encouraging film. Real life documentaries, of what God is doing all around the world. I’m thinking of buying it and going around lending people already! Now who’s up for shopping with me at Christian bookshops? =)

At one point of the film it talks about a monk in Myanmar, which they called Burma, who had died for three days. And they begin to cremate him. As they begin his funeral he suddenly sat up in his casket. And he said this.

“Its all a lie! I saw my ancestors burning and being tortured in some kind of fire! I also saw Buddha and many other Buddhas tormenting and they are all in a sea of fire! We must listen to the Christians! They are the only ones who know the truth!”

And this story has been duplicated and spread all around the country. And in fact it is a crime to be in possession of this tape or recording of the story. But he has seen hundreds of many other Buddhist monks coming to Christ simply because of his testimony.

Wonderful testimony, and one of the greatest encouragement I’ve received from this film. =)

Watch it, and be blessed! =))

I dunno what happened to my blog. Youtube links are gone. Tagboard gone too.

I love to tell the story
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and his glory,
Of Jesus and his love.
I love to tell the story,
Because I know ’tis true;
It satisfies my longings
As nothing else can do.

[Refrain:]
I love to tell the story,
’twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and his love.

I love to tell the story,
For those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting
To hear it like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glory,
I sing the new, new song,
’twill be the old, old story
That I have loved so long.
[Refrain]

Yes. Will you tell the story? The old old story that happened 2000 years ago – that Christ died for our sins, and rose again.

Alan Jackson do produce wonderful hymns. =)

Indeed true forgiveness and repentance can only happen in the presence of Christ.

That night was totally wasted. So much for wanting to trash things out, forget the past and forgive each other. Yes it takes 2 hands to clap. But it is only through the power of Christ can everything be washed from deep within.

This holidays is really getting busy with all the camp preparation. I can’t remember the last time I went to church. But thank God I’m able to make it for church this Sunday!

Alright its late and I need to wake up early tomorrow. Good night!

Something’s missing. It just doesn’t feel right. It is as though those that were bestowed upon me has now been taken away. I don’t feel ready to be a BL. And I don’t know why. I ran out of ideas. I ran out of energy. I feel so out of place. It is as though I am starting from scratch again.

Perhaps it is the culture of my world, or the culture of the club itself. Perhaps it is because of the many things that happened. Year 1 was meant to be an enjoyable experience, until I screwed things up.

I’m cool if results dropped. But my honours dropped! Well, it was really disappointing at first. In any case, I still have 3 more years to pull it up! =)

And so everyone (or most of them) chose to keep their mouth shut about their grades, which I really don’t understand. What’s so sensitive about results? If you did well, rejoice, give thanks and help those who didn’t. If you didn’t, give thanks, put down your ego and go ask for help from those who did well. Accept words of comfort as it is, accept them with love, and not take them as sarcasms. Be careful not to allow the devil to have a strong foothold over your jealousy! Simple as that.

Are results that important? I somehow get irritated when most of my conversations went like this:

Friend: Hey! How’s your results?
Me: 4.31. I dropped class. =/ How’s yours?
Friend: Oh, I did okay. *smiles*
Me: -.-

And even so when most of the conversations around me went like this:

Friend A: Hey! How’s your results?
Friend B: Ohh, it was okay. *smiles* How’s yours?
Friend A: Ohh, it was okay too! *smiles*
Friend B: Hmm okay that’s good. *smiles*smiles*

Me: -.- -.-

You don’t find it hilarious meh?
