Inter-YF Telematch & Basketball Game
About 70+- people showed up, including audiences and “cheerleaders” (I’m not gonna call them bystanders) hehe~ We were all separated into 4teams namely Holy Warriors, Super Banana Man, Jesus (the team I was in) and Extreme. We played captain ball for one of the tele-matches. Group 1 and 2 combined and group 3 and 4 combined for the game. So what you got? SUPER HOLY BANANA WARRIORS and EXTREME JESUS!!! *cheers and laughs hysterically~ Hey you gotta admit the names are kinda cool, especially when cheering: “I say Extreme you say Jesus! EXTREME...JESUS!!! EXTREME…JESUS!!!...”
Personally I really enjoyed myself, partly because I’m one of the few most active girl players *grins~ One of the girls is actually a mother of 2boys (to those who know, its Hyper Baby No.1 and Hyper Baby No.2) Yeap, its non other than Kathryn K, co-coordinator of the event and also serves in FGC Chinese YF. I was asking her in the washroom: “Hey will you be joining the game later?" She replied: "Why? You wanna lawan me ar?” I said: “Hey who knows we might end up in the same team” She was like: “Then the other teams won’t stand a chance against us” hahaha~
Overall I think the event was very successful, God provided everything, from people to good weather. The event had pulled our relationship closer between churches, youth fellowships, even pre-Christians (they’re not NON-Christians, we have to be positive they’ll join Jesus’ family some day right?) I’m hoping for more events like this^^
God bless the YFs, youths and “young adults”! :)

ImPACToRS + MYF Easter Celebration '10
So what's so special? It's the first time Impactors and MYF (Methodist Youth Fellowship) had a joint effort Easter event. Here's a few of my designs:
Some post-SPM/STPM/pre-u youths prepared a skit called "Dancing with Jesus" by Lifehouse (a.k.a Everything skit). Meet my crew^^:
Hows it? It may not be great but... I'm happy with it^^
We had testimonies by 2 Aarons,


Hey Impactors and MYFers, wanna do that again? XD
Don't forget the real reason we did this, so that people could know and remember the real meaning of Easter, the love shown on the Cross. God bless!

My Old Man Is Half A Century Old
Okay cut the silly song. Guess what? My old man turned half a century today! I'm gonna blog about him today instead on Father's Day because many other bloggers would be blogging about their dads on that day so it would be more memorable *grins~
Hm… He’s very tall (all the time), very smart (all the time, I think), very disciplined (most of the time), very thrifty (at times), very embarrassing (some times)…
Many say I look more like my Pa than my Ma. I think it’s quite true, apart from that, I also got a lot of my personality traits from him, eg. Social, smart, scientific, critical, loud, leader quality, perfectionist, straightforward, sporty, talker, bookworm, humorous, hyper… seriously, he can be REAL hyper and loud (it rarely happens though) that’s why he’s bit embarrassing also.
Did I mention he’s popular and good-looking? For a 50 year-old guy he’s not bad really. Wait till you see how he looks like 10+ years ago:
Not bad right? My Ma is one blessed woman to have him. But I guess it’s too bad that she’s not his favorite girl. Why?
Some time ago I overheard my Ma complaining to my Pa that he kept ANOTHER female’s picture in his wallet instead of hers. I was quite shocked but didn’t dare try to find out more. Until one day I looked into my Pa’s wallet and found out that it is MY picture that he kept. (sorry I can’t show you that picture, didn’t have a chance to snap it)
I wonder why my Ma got jealous over that. Hehe~ XD
He had a reputation as a sports athlete in my high school (K. Hwa) since he transferred at Form4, accepted Christ through one of my SF founder (Ps. Donald) who was his Geography or BM teacher (I think). Then he was student president in Form6, and received his calling into full-time ministry when he was 19. Now he’s currently doing his Masters in Theology (click here for my blog post on that). Comes from a poor family, no money to further studies after Form6, he followed an ad in the newspaper and worked hard in an insurance company. Now he’s done real well till the agents who trained under him drive cars that are bigger than his. He told me a phrase by Susan Tang when he met her long time ago: It’s better to be a 1st class manager than to be a 3rd class preacher. That hit his heart till now.
Fun and loving, he’s also a guy who fears God. Though he’s not the perfect Pa in the world, I’m still real proud to have him as my Pa, and also, my reference for my future guy... sort of >< *grins big~
Happy Birthday & God bless you Pa!

"Today I Preach!" --Ben, The Random Preacher
Ben heard that he had to PREACH in Friday School.
All the kids including his class teacher were already in the downstairs sanctuary waiting to get started. Then Ben walked in with a serious look on his face and his bible under his arm.....
*turns to the teacher~
Ben: You don't preach, today I preach.
The teacher just agreed and sat down at the back of the room.
Ben: Turn your bible to Genesis chapter 14 verse 1.
*pauses, points~
You, read.
Alex starts reading. After awhile....
Ben: Stop.
*points to another kid~
You read.
Another kid reads from where its left. After the reading is done...
*points~
Ben: You, tell me what did you learn from here?..... Don't know..... You?..... Don't know..... You?........ Ok, let me tell you. What we learn from here is Joseph can tell other people's dreams. Ok teacher, now you can preach.
......
Sis Victoria (the teacher) was laughing till she cried when she told my Ma about this, all the while she had been forcing herself not to laugh because Ben was so serious and she actually played along with him!
When the story was told again over dinner, Ben said he actually didn't know what to do when he was told that he had to "preach". He just went in, simply open his bible, look through a bit to know the story, and then "preach".
. . . . . .
That 6 dots above are for you to react however you want, either laugh or stare or blink or drool or have that silly dumbfounded smile on your face.
Talk about CHILD-LIKE FAITH!!!
Ben, may God bless you with more opportunities for instant preaching... *laughs hysterically~

Random Thoughts~
So, welcome to my life :) Sounds wierd? I know, since this is my blog anyway. hehe~
Lately I'm just waiting for Form6, sleeping and waking up late, doing chores, watching tv while having almost every meal at home, on-lining (when I feel like it), reading (though not so much now, okay maybe still frequently), playing games when I feel like it, dreaming......no, not about my Prince Charming, don't know who's he anyway.
Its been episodes of busy-ness and boredom, lotsa happening and sometimes just cool... (*wind blowing~) well that's life ain't it? Speaking of cool and quietness, its been sometime I actually had a heart to heart time with God. You see, its like those moments when you just sit by the window, stare, then just you know, talk with the Creator of the universe. I used to do that at night, sitting on the bed, with my pillow or Ruggles in my arms (I'll introduce you to Ruggles next time ;) ) then just talk. Well I had to admit its kinda like talking to no one but yourself and I wouldn't like to get caught like that.
I'm starting to revise Chemistry and Additional Maths before Form6 starts. As I'm blogging now I'm actually taking up the time I'm suppose to "study", more accurately, Form4 Chemistry chapter 4-5. Sheesh~ Oh I'm also a weetle bitty slacking in my quest to finish reading the whole bible before Form6..God help me! Argh~
My conscience is prodding my head now..."girl you need to start reading already...stop blogging...start reading...stop blogging..." Okay okay!!! So guess its all for now on my random thoughts^^ Take care everyone! ;)
God bless~***
3 Year-old Artistic Boy Genius!
Ain't he just talented? Well I've come across another genius, far more impressive than this kid, Akiane, will be posting about her sooner or later :)
Praise God for His wonderful creations!

4th LYPG ‘10 update – Coincidence, Unlike Any Other
Date: 03.04.10
Lead by: James
Number of people: 8
What did we do: worship, opening words and thoughts, prayer, sharing
Rating: Heart-breaking and awesome~!
This LYPG was unlike any other this year, it wasn’t a coincidence that who showed up and who didn’t show up. James shared at the opening about what God revealed to him today before he came. He was asking God to reveal who will be next in line to lead the LYPG, but he saw a group of people instead. Asking God why, God just smiled, and revealed to him that it won’t be a leader, but a group/committee that will be His people after His heart. This group of people would come for today’s LYPG. Surprised as everyone was, those who usually show up for LYPG did not show up today, but for the first time in year 2010, the MYF (Methodist Youth Fellowship) youths attended LYPG. Besides that, God also instilled in each of our hearts many different things but they’re in hand with one another.
Here are some points:
* We can’t force anyone against their will, but we can pray (I couldn’t force Jed to come along for LYPG today though he usually attends it)
* Starting- God reveals Himself as the loving, sacrificial Lamb; Growing- He reveals Himself as the Judge, righteous Lion; In fullness- He reveals Himself as both Lamb and the Lion.
* We are blessed with unity even though we are few (ImPACToRS and MYFers worked very successfully together for our 1st combined-effort Easter Celebration like we’re just 1 group, 1 body of Christ)
* Our generation is when God will accelerate, but it’s up to us to walk on His path and pick up the Cross daily.
* Joshua split the tribes, and each tribe chose the land of their preference (what you prefer); so choose your preference, what God puts in your heart.
* There’s no superior (no “Holier than you”); not everyone who calls Jesus “Lord” will enter heaven
* Run the race to the end, stand firm and don’t give up though others around you drop out from the race
* Be a witness in our own family.
* God closes doors, God leads.
* It begins with little things, our attitude and behavior towards small things; watch out for little foxes, for if the little errors are not dealt with big trouble will occur when we are involved in big things
Besides that, God has been revealing things to the 2 MYFers who came to LYPG:
Timmy- Not a coincidence that many are staying back for form6, felt that 6th formers could meet up after LYPG for bible study (as like how we studied Bible Knowledge before SPM)
Missy- Felt early in the back of her head God leading her to come back and stay home after pre-u, her application for pharmacist course was rejected recently, and she also confessed that she had back-slid in her pre-u year, so staying back for another good 4 months confirmed that she will do something for God here
What they both shared was later confirmed today at LYPG through what James said in the opening.
Why start half an hour late today? Partly because the person holding the church keys had to fetch one of the youth that usually comes (well you guessed right, the person didn’t come)
Me? Everything worked out too perfect for words. For one, Jed didn’t come along for LYPG, and I drove alone for the 1st time! No big deal? Big!!! Because LYPG started and ended late today because God was working, so driving alone means I won’t worry about my parents coming ON TIME to fetch me home.
To make it the more amazing was Timmy rode his bicycle to church. But while LYPG was going on it rained. If it ended any earlier Tim would have to go home wet.
Hazel emphasized unity between the races; she cried and confessed that she hadn’t see why should she love our M brothers and sisters, we’re sometimes just too proud of who we are and missed the bigger picture of love towards others. May God forgive us.
We cried a whole lot, praying and interceding. What tugged our hearts was about split churches; Sis. Catherine Fletcher (for those who know her, she’s one of our BK teacher) had by the will of God went back to her hometown in Ipoh, Perak. She had to go back to her home church which had split not only into 2, but into 3!!! Furthermore this also means trouble for the youths there. Then only did we realize how much we’re blessed with UNITY! Fellow comrades of the King, please don’t take unity lightly, and please pray for disunited churches and against the forces of the enemy.
Thank God for this historical day, between Good Friday and Easter! Be encouraged, and continue to encourage one another through what the King had revealed so that the whole Body of Christ may benefit and grow from it.
God’s will be done!
3rd LYPG '10 Update
Time: 2.00-3.30pm
Date: 13.03.10
Lead by: James and Phoebe
Number of people who showed up: 12
What did we do: worship, short intro, prayer, wait on God, sharing.
We had a good time of worship, a few of us prayed and received a few words: PRAY, CONCERN, HELP, TRINITY.
-Pray and seek GOD for what is His concern for this moment of time.
-Pray for understanding and revelation of a clearer understanding of God's nature, Trinity. What and how GOD is, in His trinity, going to do His work for our generation.
-Awareness for the end time.
-Pray for the peace for the city of peace, Jerusalem
As we pray and seek GOD in the meeting, our youth also received quite a number of items:
-a selfless faith, concern for the nation
-be part of the people around you, be part of their lives, learn to be there for them in time of need
-deny ourselves, our desire
-go all out, have faith
-do not reject people just because who they are
It was a time to re-evaluate our priorities in the kingdom of God. Continue to intercede for one another, people around us and the nation.
