Fellowship
Wednesday me, Linus, Darren, Shawn, Wee Keong and Jason went out together! The plan is to meet at cineleisure at 630pm, but due to the heavy rain everyone is late! But really thank God tat Jason and Shawn is able to come in the end! Went to eat kfc and haha k im officially sick of cheese fries now. Its just to cheesy for me to take it sia. Haha shawn is as crappy as usual, entertaining us + irritating us.( haha if u insist! lol) Jason seems to enjoy our company too which is great! After that we went to watch Untraceable which is well ok? Haha i dun wanna spoilt the whole show though, the plot is interesting really, not really cliche but the ending is not really satisfactory though. Haha overall really enjoyed this fellowship with them, can really imagine wats life gonna be like with all of them in NS =D Jiayou and lets keep one another accountable no matter what we went thru in NS!
Haha today hang out with Yihui, Wee Keong and Limin for lunch. K surprisingly im the earliest to reach there!! LOL the rest have something on tat is why late. Yihui was really late to meet us becox she need to settle some stuffs in the morning. Yea this outing is pretty random to be honest haha. K la me, wee keong and limin have our fun too, swuaning limin pung sehing us to irritate her, window shopping j8, playing daytona and sharings! Yihui finally joined us in the end and we have our lunch (lol my stomach is grumbling like mad cox i nv eat anything ever since i woke up!). K after lunch we went to digest ourselves with yougart treated by Kiwi, thank God for u! Yihui has to leave after that, due to shepherding, the 3 of us we walk around bishan stuffing ourselves with random food - ice cream, bubble tea ( lol now i VERY full and stomach feels super weird!) and going random places LOL. Basically we want to kill time la nothing to do.
Haha but overall this trip is indeed great and fruitful, i really enjoyed it alot haha. Thank God for u all for NOT pung sehing haha =D
After parting ways i went to buy my googles in AMK. OMG it cost 26 bucks for 1 GOOGLE!!!??? Urgh if not for NS i dun think i wanna buy it also sianz.
Walking home, i reflect myself on alot of things. I will miss these journey of walking home cox i always make use this time to reflect upon my life haha.

Yea its gonna be a new journey for me, a new phase and a new beginning, no time for emoing le so gotta move on! Yea!

Haha having mixed reaction towards this though. Im scared and excited at the same time! Scared because NS is either gonna break me or make me! Excited because it sounds quite fun after hearing their experience in Tekong.
I really pray that God will use me GREATLY in NS too! May I be a salt and light in my camp! Yea all i hope is probably i be able to mix well with my bunk mates, hmmm and also someone who can talk to over there.

Final Weeks
The photos they have made for us!
This whole week has been a bittersweet feeling to me. Finally the day has come, for me to transferred to the NS ministry.
Didn't thought of it that much, but now it just came like a sudden wind. Up till now i still cannot believe that im here, ending my youth ministry period le.
JC ministry is has been quite memorable to me. Its the place where i make a commitment to serve God. From NEE2 to the NYSR now, its been a 1 year plus journey. A journey where lives are shared and new bonds are made.
I certainly miss you all my dear cg mates! Yihui, Kat, Yanyu, Sikuan, Mich, Zhao Peng, Zhen Zhi, Grace, Faith, Huiqi, Qinning, Peu, Tim, Jiajia, Ona, Amanda. Yup i will miss you guys loads!
The last svc in youth is indeed very touching. Especially the part where Shirley offers to pray for the transfers. I was like gosh this is the end of my stay in youth ministry le. I was feeling at a lost to be honest, like "is this it? thats how its gonna end?" Seeing my cg mates placin thier hands on me to pray for me, whao at the moment memories of times spendin with them just flashed thru my mind. Its really very touching indeed.
Really thanks for the farewell yesterday! Haha the japanese restaurant is very expensive. Thank God for u all for treating us to a meal. It meant alot to us really, seeing the heart of u guys. Its a fun time playing reversi, old maids, snap jack, tai di also =D Thanks for the cards, poems and the wall photos too! I am sincerely touch by the efforts u all have made.
The chat with my shepherd is really nice too. Of NS ministry and also my future. To be honest im quite scared of wat to expect from there. Would i influence people or would i get influenced? God i need reassurances that u be with me no matter what happens. But still thank God for my shepherd man! If not for ur effort to grow me, there won't be a Shem now. Yups
After dinner at the japanese restaurant, we went to swensen to savor on the deliciously earthquakes. HAha thanks Kat for the leaving gifts u have for us! Have a wonderful time of fellowshipping also. Seeing that Sikuan is enjoying himself with the rest of the cg members, my heart feels at rest also. Sheep its really nice to have know you, u are a really a blessing to me, in a way or another.
The stayover at Khakit Bukit is enjoyable also. Have a times of sharing and talking. Its really nice to have a heart to heart sharing between cg mates. Whao i will miss all of u man!!
Also i miss the unit JCNEA also too the people there whom i have help me directly or indirectly. jon tay, debbie, gavin, poh choon, jon quek , liting, SIA, zhi wei, hsiaoen, limin and xingyi.
Yea dunno how to end off but still wanna wish u all all the best in the respectives schools! Jiayou in completing cg08!!
Hmmm this coming week gonna spend time with my new cg members le. Hope be able to apply the things what Shirley and Raph have shared. Nitez

Easter Day
Alright i just wanna say that Easter service was quite disappointing in a sense. I mean tat the conversion rate is quite disappointing, the service is awesome though!! It really touched my heart and make me teared!!
Today only we have Chuan Ren and Pin Li visiting us for svc. Lol i we nt thru a rollercoaster ride experience yesterday. At the start i was over in cloud nine tat 2 contacts are coming from my side!!! Gosh little did i know that around 11 plus, they suddenly tell me they cannot come due to something on!!! Wah, at that point of time really dampers my mood sia. Really feels like shouting to God" Urgh why is this happening????" I really feels like dropping off from the highest point. Lol i been sacrificing quite alot for this. Try my best not to work this week, mass sending msg and call using my phone to talk to contacts (now my handphone bill exploding le =X). Yea but i guess its all God's timing la..
Alrights fast forward to the service. Its really good i find, the teachings and the special stuffs added to it. Wat is not good is tat im feeling quite tired la. Trying my best to keep myself awake also. I manage to speak to Chuan Ren and regarding his commitment in his own church also. He seems committed to his church though, but they are some parts still nt sure about it yet. Haha he is also attracted to the caregroup too!
I thank God for Yihui man, even though shes feeling down and discouraged also, but she still persevere on! I thank God for her as she try her best to encourage us!! Also thank God for Jon Tay, wahh his words are really inspiring la!! "when the going gets tough, the tough gets going"
Yes!!!!!! This holy discontentment is there and all of us want to see NYSR fulfilled cg08!! Watever sadness and disappointment we may have, lets settle it with God and move on!! I still got 1 more week left, i will do my best to help fulfill cg08!!
1 verse which i find really encouraging:
" Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

Results
Alrights now its really the hard part, choosing a course for university! I really need a clear direction from God to help me choose a correct course. There is JUST SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM!! Yea i wonder should i put those courses i interested first or those courses that I can go to. Gosh i need to rethink abt this..
In a lighter tone, YAY ZHAO PENG AND ZHEN ZHI CAME TO SERVICE TODAY!!!!!!! Its been quite some time since we last seen them lei. Yup even there is no converts today, but the fellowship and prayer meeting is GREAT. Alrights both of them comin for easter service!! =D

Psalm 91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. [a]
2 I will say [b] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the LORD, who is my refuge-
10 then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."
