wad a memorable new yr's day

neva in my life haf i expected myself to stand in front of the whole main congregation sharing with them abt 2004 and how i've grown in the Lord. i actually wanted to back out when YE saboed my name but somehow sth was telling me to go up and share coz i wun regret. i din. though frm the start i had stage fright, i was suprised that words actually came outta my mouth. i tot of declining to share. but juz felt tt God wanted me to say sth...spread to the whole congregation how he had brought YE up...and how he worked in many other ways. i've been troubled lately, but after the sharing yest, i felt peace and comfort. actually think of it, what Joel Pang said was quite amusing, "You mean u went up on stage last yr to share and talked until this yr???" b4 tt went to Tim's house to bake cookies with Ian Audrey and Huimin, who complained tt it was MY fault the cookies were flat haha coz i added extra choc chips and it was damn sweet. but it was nice k!. our first batch were literally"boiling" though...i tink the oven overheated. and running outta time, Ian and i juz went against Huimin and made 2 HUGE cookies which actually turned out to be a success. hee. in between playing Boggle and pictionary to keep us entertained, plus the wonderful and yummy dinner prepared specially by Uncle Pak Chee, cream of mushroom and some special kinda spaghetti fried with olive oil and spices. then Tim drove all of us to Safra Mount Faber for bowling with the rest of YE. it was super fun...i tink its the first time the whole of YE congregated as frens, not as Ye, since this was arranged by Paul and Jon. and yea i finally got a STRIKE in 2 yrs. haha. nice way to end the yr. juz we all having fun talking and hanging out. b4 all cramming into 195 to church for watch night it was the first watch night service i attended and it did leave a big impact, partly coz of the reason right above. but somehow u could sense the homeliness of the whole church congregating together and the peace i felt. Pastor shared abt how unpredictable life can be, eg. the Tsunamis, no one ever saw tt one coming. it was juz all too sudden, the lives lost, the destruction caused. It suddenly jolts one into thinking abt the future, how someone can be alive today and be gone tml, for gd. i guess its how u see it. death is not the end, its more like a new beginning in a different place with the Lord. anyway, juz pray for the victims of the Tsunamis and their families. we caught the last train at 1.15 to Clementi and went for supper...yea. Rojak freak i m, i ate Rojak again. HAPPY GERALD and YAN LEEN?! haha. plus popiah...but it was super ex lar. i tink the woman was practically cheating our money. and we went to 7-11 to buy the whole pkt of instant mee goreng. trudged our way back to Gerald's house at arnd 2.30am... Gerald got us to sit in a circle and we began sharing, our hopes for the new yr, and any troubles frm 2004. it was gd hearing everyone's honest opinions. we talked mostly abt YE, but i guess i got a clearer picture now. Tim's ending was realli nice, talking abt all our positive pts and encouraging all of us individually. after listening to him u realli feel like wow, u can make a difference, no matter how "small" an action u tink it is. we eventually ended the whole sharing at 4.15am. Myrtle half zonked out haha. and got down to our MAH JONG business!. had fun teaching those tt wanted to learn and playing at the same time. then Sarah, Amanda and i went to cook the mee goreng. which was snapped up by the guys in no time lar. Poor Gerald being the host onli had one small mouthful haha. Gerald's mum was realli nice, first time i see a parent stay up the whole night and enjoy with us. i felt so bad! coz she made me my fav. black coffee but i was so tired i forgot abt it and fell asleep at 645am. haha. hardly had enuff sleep lar. at 7.45am Gerald and Yan Leen came sounding this stupid alarm which sounded like some cartoon thingy and they dumped stubbs on us! ARGH. STINKY DOG! (ok i'm jk...he's getting cuter haha) then sidney went to poke me awake and while walking outta the room i tripped over Gerald's internet router and my side hit the corner of his table lar...still red and bruised. but Auntie's coffee was realli gd! :) Then the few of us went to MRT to pick the COGS ppl who din stay over and some SJC ppl... Soccer was fun, with a bit of bball...haha...though the girls din get to play in the real court. It started raining, but everyone bonded well and had fun still. i tink its great seeing SJC and COGS getting along so well. no stiff competition, more of frenly stuff. we still played in the heavy rain, ending up drenched tired but i guess we did enjoy ourselves. then we went back to Gerald's house to shower n dry up b4 meeting SJC peeps for lunch...which was. ya the DUCK RICE again. and back to his house palying mah jong till i knocked out. anyway thx gerald, for letting ur house out for one night of destruction...ESP...UR BED!!! so comfy...hahaha back to sch on monday...sigh. can't wait to see everyone! esp. xiaohui! haha...my bro's going to YE tml...hope he'll continue to go down not because he feels compelled to, but coz he is hungry for spiritual growth. at least he's growing up...sec1 on monday already...haha. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God" -Ephesians 2:21

Centre Of My Life

Let my walk speak loud

And my words be true

Let my life be whole

With my eyes on you

Lord I'm stepping out

From the comfort zone

Letting go of me

Holding on to You

Freedom comes

When I call you Lord

You are Lord, my God

You are the centre of it all

The universe declares in awe

Your majesty, I surrender all

I make You the centre of my life

Lord I respond with all I am

You placed in me the song

Of heaven's melody

Your Majesty

I live to sing Your song

I have found Your peace

It replaces anything

You have done it all

I can trust in You

So I'm stepping out

From the comfort zone

Letting go of me

Holding on to You

Freedom comes

When I call you Lord

You are Lord, my God

You are the centre of it all

The universe declares in awe

Your majesty, I surrender all

I make You the centre of my life

Lord I respond with all I am

You placed in me the song

Of heaven's melody

Your Majesty

I live to sing Your song

This is Your song, not mine

This is Your song

That brings healing to this land

This is Your song, not mine

This is Your song

That brings freedom

This is Your song, not mine

This is Your song

That brings healing to this land

This is Your song, not mine

This is Your song

That brings freedom

Freedom comes

When I call you Lord

Freedom comes

When I call you Lord

You are Lord, my God

You are the centre of it all

The universe declares in awe

Your majesty, I surrender all

I make You the centre of my life

Lord I respond with all I am

You placed in me the song

Of heaven's melody

Your Majesty

I live to sing Your song

Your Majesty

My life will sing Your song!
