Date Me? Are You Mature Enough? Forget It Lah~

Here’s some interesting stuff I got (or at least I remembered) from Impactors BGR Forum (not the teaching session).

“Do girls like pink or purple?”
“It depends.”

“Diamond ring or not?”
“It also depends.”

“How to get out of a ‘triangle’ relationship?”
“Don’t get involved in it in the first place.”

“How to get out of ‘group’ love?”

Huh???...

“Also don’t get involved in it in the first place.”

“How to reject a guy you don’t like?”
“I’m sorry. I don’t think I’m the girl for you.”

“If he’s persistent?”
“I’m sorry. You’re not the kind of guy I’m looking for.”

“What’s the suitable age to get involved in a serious relationship?”
“When you’re mature enough.”

“So that means we can have a boyfriend/girlfriend first then get married when we’re mature?”
“No. Be friends till you’re mature enough then only start dating.”

“So what’s the suitable AGE to get involved in a serious relationship?”
“When you’re already working and are independent.”

ZKang: “Huh…??? Still so long more?”
JX : “Okay tomorrow I’ll start working.”

*Laughs~

“Should I tell my parents that I like someone?”
“Again, make sure you’re mature enough, after praying and confirming, and then you should tell your parents. It’s important to receive their blessings.”

“What if the in-laws parents can’t cooperate with their son/daughter in-law?”
“Live out of your parents’ home if you can. That is why bible say man shall leave his parents and be united with his wife (Genesis 2v24)”

“Brother HH, how did you catch WW’s heart?” (HH is one of our forum panel “reply-er”, newly married)
“Erm…”

“Is there any special technique?”
“There’s no special technique, I just be a good guy…and then when we get to know each other, we know that it’s God’s will to be together.”

“How you know?”
“Erm…Find a girl who is also a Christian. You’ll know lah…There’ll be this special…Erm…Special ‘signal’.”

*Laughs~

Ibu S.H : “It’s true there’s no special technique to how to attract someone. When you’re looking for Mr./Miss Right, first, be a Mr./Miss Right yourself. When you have the Fruit of the Spirit, who doesn’t love you?”

Awesome! Well said Ibu S.H!

So what have I learned?
“你要向我告白？你够成熟吗？”
(translated: You wanna confess/Are you asking me out? Are you mature enough?”)

Hahaha…Sounds like I’m criticizing. But seriously, HH and Ibu S.H emphasized a lot on maturity whether it’s emotional or spiritual.

I think this is the best BGR topic/ session we had in Impactors. (There were lots of laughs) *teehee~
God bless!

Seriously, Why Want A Bf/Gf?

Ibu S.H : “Jake, why do you think you want to have a girlfriend?”
Jake : “Erm…*shrug~”
Ibu S.H : “Huh? You don’t know? I mean what’s your opinion, why do you think you want a girlfriend?”
Jake : “Erm…I haven’t thought about it yet. I haven’t had a girlfriend.”
Ibu S.H : “You haven’t thought about it? You should think about it before you had a girlfriend. JX, why do you think you want to have a girlfriend?”
JX : “Erm…To fulfill God’s will?”
Ibu S.H : “Hm…Yeah, I know it’s to fulfill God’s will but that’s not the answer I want. Celina, why do you think you want to have a boyfriend?”
Celina : “Erm…”
Jed : “To have someone to whack.”
Phoeb : “But who doesn’t whack back!”

*Everyone laughs~

Ibu S.H : “Haha…Ok so Celina, why?”

Oh no what should I say? Man, this isn’t a trick question. Should I just come out with a joking answer about it? Come on now…what should I say? Think think think!

Celina : “Erm…Simple. Find boyfriend to find a husband lah~”
Ibu S.H : “Yes! That’s the answer I’m looking for.”

Huh? Really? Oh cool I got it right! Though I think Phoeb’s answer is pretty cool too.

ImPACToRS had a BGR teaching session & forum for the past 2/3 weeks. The main stuff I learnt from the session was: Don’t get involved in a relationship unless you’re planning to marry someone.

Getting involved in a serious relationship is a real serious stuff (you see the word “SERIOUS”?) The first episode in the story of humanity is about love, Adam & Eve! You see, God is love, yeah we all know that, but he’s also incredibly so into BGR too. So it’s real sad to see breakups between dating couples and even married couples.

Conclusion: SERIOUSly consider if you are stepping into a SERIOUS relationship because it’s to determine your future husband (for girls) or wife (for guys) because marriage is SERIOUS. SERIOUSLY!

God loves you…seriously :) ♥

Inter-YF Telematch & Basketball Game

A week after the combined youth fellowship Easter celebration, 9th of April 2010 Impactors, FGC Chinese Youth Fellowship, and Salt & Light (Trinity Baptist Church youth fellowship) had a Tele-match & Basketball Match event! And as always, Impactors + Salt & Light = MEGA HYPER-ness XD haha~

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

Okay I know I'm bit slow with blogging these days, I do have my reasons actually (ask me personally). I'm still gonna update the hot stuff going on especially in Impactors, LYPG (Local Youth Prayer Gathering) and SF(Student Fellowship). Can I not post pictures? I'm feeling kinda lazy.. heehee~ XD but I had taken some shots of the "Dancing" crew already... *sigh~ Fine! I'll post them.

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^^:Oh there's also a video of the skit clicky here to view it
Hows it? It may not be great but... I'm happy with it^^

We had testimonies by 2 Aarons, and they were both very good testimonies :) (good job guys!) Praise God 3 souls were saved that night! It may not be many but still, the heaven rejoices :)
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!

Celina and Eshlyn conversation : Tension

Tension.

Eshlyn: Why?

There’s just so much stuff going on.

You’re talking about Impactors right? I thought things are better now?

Well…yeah. But there’s still many things bothering me.

Well the drama team conflict is slowly resolving, that’s a good thing. What did you got from this case?

I felt the relationship between some individual Impactors are shaken, including mine. It seems like most are pointing fingers at me.

But it’s not all your fault right? Almost everyone have a fault somehow, well I’m a bit confused too because I’m part of you anyway.

Haha… Yeah, but I still feel real bad. There’s something else that isn’t right with all these things happening. I just realized some time ago that the devil is trying to pull strings in our youth fellowship and break us down. This isn’t a usual thing as far as I can remember, it just happened quite recently between last year and this year.

Hm… Oh! I ‘v got something! The vision of the Great Banquet! Isn’t it an interchurch youth project? We’ve been talking about unity between churches and how important it is to be united.

Yeah, you’re right. That could be it! I heard a prophecy that the youth of FGC will be the ones rising up to lead the revival wave in the city of Alor Star. So that’s why the devil is targeting us?

That could precisely be the point. Though the dilemma may look like it’s a present issue, it can affect the future! This is serious! Breaking down the unity and good relationship between Impactors will so gonna have ugly consequences. No way this is happening! Could it be because the revival is delayed or we’re not chosen anymore or…or…

Shut up Eshlyn! Quit being so negative! What God plans we don’t know for sure, but His plans will definitely come to pass if we just trust in Him.

Ok ok. Maybe this could be a time of testing and shaping us. This is so depressing and hard. Celina, I wonder why it’s my turn to get depressed.

Be at peace, girl. God won’t allow that devil creep bully more than we can handle, but we still got to be careful by the way. For bigger plans or not, Impactors got to gear up for the War of the Eternal!

I’ve suddenly remembered a saying from the movie “Facing the Giants”, the coach said: WE LOSE, WE PRAISE HIM; WE WIN, WE PRAISE HIM.

I like that. God help us! I hope typing this will help explain more to others what’s happening.

Yeah, this approach is definitely easier than speaking face to face, especially discussing this with Impactors. *sigh~ Anyway, God help us.

Alright Eshlyn, thanks for being there for me, you’re a great company.

Don’t thank me, thank God!

"The Triumph" -- Ron Clark Story

This is a seriously must-see movie! Impactors (Youth Fellowship) watched this movie on our Movie Time! on the 29th January. Its super cool and funny! Here's a short intro:

The Ron Clark Story follows the inspiring tale of an energetic, creative and idealistic young teacher who leaves his small North Carolina hometown to teach in a New York City public school. Through his passionate use of special rules for his classroom, highly innovative teaching techniques and an undying devotion to his students and helping them cope with their problems, Clark is able to make a remarkable difference in the lives of his students.

Though the students in the story are only aged 12, but they have many different tough backgrounds. Mr. Clark used many different creative, innovative, even CRAZY ways to teach his class. There's a part where he made a deal that he'll drink a small carton of milk every 15 seconds as long as the class kept quiet, and his tactic actually worked because the kids wanted to see him puke! (Eww~)

Here's a sneak-peek of what he did in History class.


Ron Clark also has an academy, called The Ron Clark Academy.
Overall, this is a really inspiring and non-the-less entertaining movie.

ImPACToRS CNY/Vday -- "Prosperous L♡ve"

As you can see here in the poster, Impactors are having a Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day special, themed "Prosperous Love" (credits to Impactors president for the random yet hit-the-nail theme title!)

If you're wondering what's it about the Impactors Pizza Drama, here's an explanation:

"Pizza Drama"-- also now known as "Pizza Season 1" made its 1st appearance on Impactors/FGC Chinese Youth Talentime Contest '09. The Pizza Team started out here with only 5 members. They won 3rd place in the group category.

"Pizza Heart" -- also known as "Pizza Season 2" was performed on Christmas '09 after having requested because of the good feedbacks by fellow church members. By then, the Pizza Team grew into 11 members. We had plenty of laughs just as "Season 1" had (thanks to the pizza operator) and so the team imediately decided to come up again with "Season 3".


So, what do we do in this event? Besides celebrating CNY and Vday, we have stuff like praise and worship, games, food etc. plus a special message from Uncle Max. (Don't know who? Come see la~)

Boys and girls, young or old, Christians or non-christians, all are welcome to oin in this festive and love-filled event :)

Hope to see you there! God bless!
