Thank God, that it’s finally Sunday! I wouldn’t have scrape through my entire last week without friends that allow me to rant such as Sentosa, Joshua, Xin Ru and my beloved NC3. Truly appreciate those words such as JIA YOU from Xin ru and not forgetting my sweet fabulous care group who send me a long text of affirmation. 
Thank You, friends. But most importantly, i really want to shout out to God for sustaining me throughout these few days with your presence.
Though the week has come to an end, i still choose not to plan it because as promise i insist on spending an extended time with my Lord. Tentatively, it would be a Thursday! Well, i still choose not to think about it until tomorrow.
Even as my day is shutting it’s wings toward me, the thought of work tomorrow somehow detest me to the core of my being. But still, you will find a way into my heart.
I LOVE SUNDAY. LIKE SERIOUSLY.
and i’m a lousy friend! I haven’t even celebrate Keith and Jang birthday! Plus my hair is too long. Need to cut it.
Pain is inevitable while suffering is optional.
GP students, what do you think? Just kidding.
Anyhow, the clock is tickling its way at 5.20am and I’m writing a post because of my aftermath of viewing photos. – that’s so incoherent. Rather I’m writing this because i just want to pour out my thoughts on some photos which i saw awhile ago and other mundane reasons. Coherent enough?
Firstly, it’s because i have to stay up at this counter in hope that no single soul will cross that barrier till 8 in the morning.
Secondly, i’m relatively bored. However, with the aid of this netbook and my new book given by Keith on what i talk about when i talk about running has kept me awake for the last hour or so?
Thirdly, i’m still dumbfounded or even lost for words. When i see how people have changed over the past few years.
I wonder if i’m amazed, insecure or even just blown away?
Some girls just become what i would thought they will never be. Obviously, much more prettier. Maybe, metro is the next in things for some skinny and pretty girls. While some guys value is labeled by the brands. Goodness, i think for some reasons i might have caught up with my age by insecurity. alright, this sounds so … but as word press puts it express myself.
Alright, time to time of love relationship between my book and this soul.

Gosh, the following pictures you are about to see are the main highlight of my day!
Spent few hours, eating, doing work and ’shopping’ around with my new family whom i truly love.
As mentioned to them, this care group is formed simply because every individual soul matters to God and myself.
so fasten you seat belts and here you go:
First mos shot:
next up, our ice cream party!
some random shots:

means why should i not enjoy life?
Friends that have been running this race with me for the past 4 years? Share bitter sweet memories! Like those times when you just want to rant convictions, and everything else!
Some photos for you!
i like my smile hohoho LOOK AT THE FOOD
the salted egg crab! i have never eaten this before in my life. quite salty. like DUH.
WE ARE BLOATED.
ACTUALLY I’M TOO LAZY TO BLOG ALL THE PHOTOS ALRDY. GO TO FACEBOOK AND SEE.
GOOD NIGHTS WORLD.
I clearly remember how nervous i felt when i had to approach you and invited you for service.
We were from different worlds, but i knew you needed a God thing to give you a meaning to your endless chase.
When you agreed, i was overjoyed and kept calling you and remind you that we will be meeting in somerset mrt at 2pm.
That wasn’t the worse. As the service program proceeded, my heart begun to beat faster as if there were spikes underneath the pink flesh. I wondered to myself why would you even cross the line of faith, but i still tried. I didn’t know how did God touch your heart, but you decided to take the step of faith to know this loving God. Honestly, i seriously felt a great sense of relieved and joy bursting within me.
The next day, we met under your shelter at Toa Payoh Blk 2 and i gave you encouragement card and shared with you ACTS. I seriously remember all these happened. The follow up was horrifying though it turned out well.
I will never forget that incident at Toa Payoh swimming pool. You were reluctant to go swimming with our care group because you feared to be topless. On your biceps it engraved with 4 Chinese characters. I was lost for words, because you were only 14. You had the tattoo when you were 12.
I saw how God’s power changed your life that it came to a point that Miss Tuan approached me and asked me to continue to bring people to church. You turned away from smoking, fights, and all those stuff that would harm your body.
I used to think to myself that when i take a bus down yishun, there will be many memories that will eject out of the brain. This point was proven otherwise, when i took a run down Toa Payoh today to visit your wake. I literally remember the places we were at for shepherding, care group (and even once i had to use to butcher knife to control the horrible care group with gangsters), under the shelter, your house and so much more.
However, all these memories lasted for merely months and you then turn your back against his love. Well, for those reasons that you explained. I still remember the last shepherding we had at the Lorong 8 market.
Ever since i left Beatty, i have never seen you for years. Until few days back, when i could only see your on papers.
Dearest Gerald Chia, i honestly wish i could turn back time and be even more persistent to ask you to remain in his love and not fall into the world. Yes, i thought to myself that i might have lost a friend, sheep, brother and all. But that’s not the worse.
Now i have lost you eternally.
You know what, i hope that during that few moments when you were crossing life to death you remember that there this God that loves you and run back to him. Now my only hope is that we shall meet in Heaven. You are really one person that meant a lot to me because God showed me what his love could do.
God, i finally understand better what does it mean people matter to you.

though we keep searching, but there was no common topic
though we tried, but we just can’t connect the chemistry
as hard as we pull through those minutes, there was this moment of awkwardness that lingers despite the endless navigating conversation.
as uncomfortable as it might seems, it was certainly treasured. It felt that we haven’t talk for years, and that is true. What left a imprint in my heart over the few minutes is that i know this friendship is built upon something that is eternal.
Thanks for taking the initiative to move out from your seat, and walked the short distance to have a short conversation.
This makes church friendship different from the rest, because through the years of silence because of physical limitations i know that the friendship will never be lost.
It seems like it was years, but the connection and warmth restored within seconds.
Thanks Samuel.

As i aged, i guess time is something that seems to be of a greater value than i was younger than. In the past, time was equivalent to what shows i would and would not be catching. But that might not be exactly true for me now, time means relationship, money and authority.
Hence, sometime i do wonder to myself why am i still doing what i’m doing though what i am doing might not exactly have long term tangible results. Yet, when i see the photo above, they are my reason for doing all these.
It’s all about people and a God. But far more than that, a God that is all out for people.
I love this family of God. As mentioned before, i love north c simply because the people are completely not flawless. But so flawed, that at times i really feel like just walking away at that moment of anger. However, begin so flawed, we have a heart that God can reach and we turn away from sin. The best deal, we are transforming to become the person God has made us to be.
some more photos of the unit before my pro pic.
alright, i shall post e rest of the photos on the next post!:D
disclaimer: I am not advocating love or hate relationship for macs. But i just simply abhor eating the food frequently. Too much of it, makes me PUKED.
anyhow! I’m loving the idea of catching up with people for supper, drinking a cup of tea over a table and all those catch up with my friends and wonderful NC people!
Anyhow, i shall write down some stuff that i was renewed while meeting different bunch of people today!
Jesus never need to build relationship, but he always want to.
The one thing i hate about leading spiritually ‘mature’ people is that you can’t lead them by experience but only through seeking God and asking him for directions. At the same time, i love it.
A leader sees the future and brings it to his people by building pavements for them to reach it. To see this future, only God can paint it for you.
To finish this race well, we mustn’t only isolate ourselves to only one friend who can spur us on but it would be good to have others as well.
To grow the church, this two things must always be lived out. Outreach and discipleship. There must never come a time where our leadership function does not allow us to do both. If so, we have failed to live out our mission.
Whoever wants it most, Will get it.
Even leaders have fears in our leadership, this is why we tend not to do those that we fear in though it will benefit the kingdom. What are our fears? Deal with them. The fear of uncertainty in our results may cause us not to trust God in our studies hence we rather focus on family than reaching out for that might absorb a large portion of our time.
Life example are great for discipleship, but people maybe inspired by the end product of your transformation but still remain the same because you haven’t shown them the steps you took, which were painful. They are in pain, and they need people to identify and let them know they are not alone.

YEAH! David did groceries shopping with imma today! We headed for the giant at parkway after our work and we started our shopping spree! Mind you, this is the first time out of donkey and cow years since i last bought many plastic bags of food home instead of clothes or shoes! It all begun with apples and look at what happened after that! But all in all, i must say that the choice of food is certainly one that will keep my health in pink only with the summation of constant work out! I’m just happy that i’m buying food and able to enjoy the luxury of vitamins sinking down my gullet! The best part, i did this with Imma! What a fantastic friend i’ve made over the few days!
Alright, i think my elateness has reached it’s peak that it has gone downhill on madness.
Guess what? I ate 2 green apples just now! So i concluded it could be either i’m addicted to green apples or simply hungry. I guess the latter would be of a better explanation!
I secretly think i will enjoy a slice of tuna bread in no more than 30 mins!
yeah FOODFOODFOOD! KOI BUBBLE TEA ROCKS!
I DRANK COFFESHOP ICE COFFEE TODAY!
happy!
