Chris is gone. BUT this guy is smart enough to email us constantly. hehe.. maybe cos he hasn't got much to do YET. Wait till he join this club join that club then sure busy again. What to do, our Chris so smart. haha.. =) And nice too! (judging at the turn up at his departure. More than mission teams leaving la!) haha.. maybe cos it's a saturday and the timing is quite alright. =)


Anyway, elvin is officially at region E from Sunday onwards. From what I heard, region E pple are nice! Thank God for pple like celine, clement, eliz, joyce, etc who were so helpful and I'm sure elvin is excited for the region too! =)

Frankly, I'm very happy for elvin. This is really a great opportunity for him. In God's timing and plan, of course. Although initially, i was rather sad as I'd really love to serve with him and together witness each other's ministry grow, first hand. DEFINITELY not because region E only have female leaders! haha.. =P But God has His plans and after praying, we're getting real excited to what is to come. =)

Oh ya, you'll nv guess who i had dinner with last night. By right suppose to eat with Ps Israel and Ps Jose who are from East Timor but realised Ps Antwonio's wife is Ps Israel's aunt so all of us ate together. We went to eat prata at gombak la.. =) Man.. It sure was fun!! Ps Israel, Ps Antwonio and his wife are so cool! We were like singing "God is so good" in different languages like African, Portuguese, Tetum, Hokkien, etc. Then he challenged us to singing a tune using our tongue!! Elvin cannot do it after very long and des was better! In the end, we (sheena, des, elvin and i) decided to foot the bill.. When do u get a chance like this to bless God's servant?! must grab it! =)


Ps Israel from Dili, ET. (super funny guy. Should meet the wife too!)



Ps Antwonio.


The group last night including Ps Antwonio's family and the interpreter. =)

Yoohoo!! my first blog entry using my new laptop!! muahaha.. man.. it has been a long wait and i'm so so happy that i finally got it. =)

Anyway, yesterday was really a great day. Not only i got my laptop, elvin gave me flowers!! haha.. no occasion. Just surprise loh.. Really happy. =)

Also, i went to esther's house to set up my laptop then chatted with auntie Jenny and esther. It was rather pleasant i guess.. Praise God for the improvements.. =) Auntie Jenny was like saying i have to be supportive of elvin when he goes over to Region E. Keep him in prayers and trust him. =) haha.. cos region E is mainly made up of female youths. haha.. =P But anyhow, i really am very happy for elvin.. It's such a great opportunity for him and it's really in God's timing and plan.. =)
Oh ya! so after that we watched project superstar together and had a very good laugh. heh.. =) And all these happened without elvin around! =)
After that we went to meet Chris and Jason for a drink. heh.. have been hanging out with them really often. Wednesday we went Dan Ryan's for dinner then headed to BTP to play pool. haha.. it surely was fun!!!!! We played 9balls and i actually won jason and Chris!! muahaha.. not cos i'm good it's just because they didn't hit in the last ball and i didn't hit in any balls before that. haha.. Elvin even won Darryl! we just laughed like mad la.
Funniest was when we switched to everyone playing together, each taking 3 balls and have to eliminate others by hitting theirs. we were luring each other to hit others' and i was begging everyone to not hit mine! haha.. After that i went home while the others went to bowl and elvin only reached home at 7am! =)
Anyhow, all these hanging out with Chris is NOT satisfying enough for us because he is leaving TMR! can't stand the idea or even the thought of it.. But it's reality.. it's just tmr. TMR. TOMORROW. T.O.M.O.R.R.O.W. -SOB-

this is Chris...

I've been in school since 9am and still here at 6pm!! CLEAR club meeting at 6:30pm when i ended sch at 2:30pm.
Anyway, it's a day full of International Phonetic Alphebets, IPA in short. First was the Chinese version then the English version. Frankly, though they are supposed to be the same, they are disgustingly DIFFERENT. man.. i spent the last one and a half hour in the lib cafe solving them.. gonna be tested on how to translate hanyu pinyin to that too.. Just have to practice more i guess..
Have been trying to get more on track with stuff and spending more time revising. Guess today was rather successful. heh.. My sis say i should stop hanging out with elvin cos he's a bad influence. haha.. only one reason why. That's because he's too SMART! haha.. elvin doesn't need to mug like normal pple cos he's really fast in understanding and absorbing information. Seriously, before i enter uni, just judging by what i observe of elvin (also a uni student), I REALLY thought it's gonna be easy with lotsa free time to hang out or do my own things. BUT it's NOT true. Maybe it's just NIE. EVERYONE here mug because with straight C+, you'll get a warning letter. 3 warning letters, you are outta here. AND it's considered your fault cos yoy didn't study so you pay them the liquidity damages which is abt S$100k. So everyone is freaking out. To get a third class honours, you already have to get stinking Bs. Let alone a first class or second upper. Only one thing to say and that is I HAVE BEEN DECEIVED!
Back with the unfinished post, yup, I cannot stand the thought that Chris IS leaving. Elvin and I were chatting that day and he said he'll definitely cry when Chris leaves.. I think i would too.. Esp when that day, I showed John the Sydney photos.. Man.. those were the best days of my life! =) The best company I've ever had on a trip. (for the record, suckiest was TURKEY) Meeting Chris with elvin and Jason tmr and I sure hope he can suddenly say "I'm not going anymore!" haha.. kinda impossible though. =)
Think it's time for me to go. 6.10pm. Haven't crapped the entire day.
Oh ya, mum's going israel tmr. Man.. i also wanna go!!!! So cool to see and experience the places in the bible.. But too many trips i wanna go but no cash. haha.. Dad just ask if i wanna go China in Oct. Hopefully there's a break. lalala.. =)
okok.. really have to go.. =P

Haven't blog for really long!! Just a brief update. I'm currently in NIE (thank God) and is offered Chinese specialisation as a major. Very miraculous and I am really thankful to God for all these. =)
Man.. I'm so full right now. Ate buffet with joel, joash, elvin and esther just now. No more these sorta things! fats... accumulate... Then we went to shop around the guys' clothes for banquet tonight. Good la.. I really love them. Joel, des, joash, esther, sheena, QX and many more..
Now that wilson is back with wendy and in our region's youth ministry, i'm really excited to see more changes as we unite and bring youth ministry to a higher level. I really think we are very well equipped. Colleen is very good with administrative matters, sheena is talented with Drama, many are very good with communicating, charasmatic and inclusive like QX and weiling. Fabian, joel and joash can come up with great ideas for activities! With Elvin and Wilson, I believe it will be a season of change!! =)
Heh.. k la.. i have to go do hmwk la. BUT before that, i have to say... HILLSONG CONFERENCE ROCKS! =)
Oh ya, knowing celine, joleen, chris, aaron and jason better during the trip is a fabulous bonus! =)
