Hey. Watch American Idol tonight. Really think that Nicholas, AJ, Blake and Chris Richardson did well. Chris Sligh and Phil Stacy are not too far behind though. They are now my top 6 males favorite for the top 12.

Today is my last day when i will drill on my project. Mr Leo has helped me a great deal in it. In fact, he teaches us very patiently and even willingly stay in school after 6 all the way until 8 plus to help us. Though he is rather quiet and negative at times, he still comment it in a way that won't hurt us. He is rather sensitive and straight-foward. Lol. My favorite lecturer to this date BY A MILE!!! I sort of like programming after that! Now pondering to go Games Programming or not as TD is all scripting and i don't like it too.

There are several teachers in my life that i really thank God for. Mr Soong is a teacher that i will never forget for as long as live. We have spite him, disobey him, quarrel with him for lots and lots of times. Despite all these, he never held it in his heart; in fact, he even willingly step out of his curriculum time on saturday and sunday to teach us. Never did i ever see such great teacher in my life. He is one of the teachers that is in my heart and not in my mind.

The next teacher will be Mdm Aishah. A lot of "preaching" from her. I remembered when i was secondary 3, i am one of the hopeless student sitting at the back of the class, gambling away with Kian Boon and gang most of the time. She never gave up hope on me and pressed on trying to "preach" as hard as she could to knock me back to senses. In the end, her efforts never go down the drain. When i was secondary 4, i worked as hard as i could. Though my grades are not good, i was satisfied; for it was "some results" to me. LOL. She helped me back on my feets when i fell really badly.

Coming to teacher in my spiritual life, I really want to thank God for my spiritual mentor Andrew. Through this time, he has helped me a lot, in my life. He builds up the foundation of Christianity in me. Though he is not with me 24 hours per day, i still feel that he is with me. LOL. Don't misunderstand! It is not wrong to love your shepherd. He may not be the best shepherd, or someone who is flawless in his communication, but he really has the humility to learn. He never belittles himself for he knows so clearly he is God's creation and God thinks the best of us. Thus, whenever i belittle myself in the area of leadership, he will always correct me. He has the heartbeat of God, "he thinks the best of everyone, no matter what kind of person they are in the past". Just like how God believes Paul when the latter is the worst of sinners.
He sees potential in me when people don't. He is one of the two people who encourages me to be a shepherd when i am still introverted and rather new. Thanks Shepherd!!!!

Personal note: Don't bother finding out who is the other person who sees potential in me. You will never get the answer! LOL...

Answer is not God or Jesus. So save it! Haha


How i long to be back home. I am sure all of you would want to be home. I can't wait for God to bring me to a "home" where it will last eternally.

Recently, i am reading a book, "Jesus on leadership" by C. Gene Wilkes. People who have known me long enough will realise that i haven't finished a book after so long! Haha. I admit i am a bit unfaithful in reading, Thank God that i didn't shove this book into the shelf but put it on top of the desk. Everytime i look at the book, that is collecting "fresh" dust, a sense of guilt will hit my heart so hard that i would want to know more about the content of the book.

The book talks about leadership, spiritual leadership. How Jesus leads His flocks. In one incident, when James and John request to sit next to Jesus when they enter His Kingdom. The other ten disciples flare up and rebuke them. Jesus did not rebuke them, but instead say that in order to be with Him. They have to go through pain, and even deny self-rights to serve the people. In (Mark 8: 34), Jesus mentioned, "if anyone would come after, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." It clearly explains that if we are after God's heart, we must first crucify our sinful-self on the cross first and do what Jesus has done and obey Him whole-heartedly.

There's no point talking too much about ourselves. Sometimes, we get too carried away with conversations with our friend that we will want to boast about how much God has transformed us. It will cause much negativity to the other party as all the things you have been saying is about yourself. When we are transformed, we will shine, people will be able to witness it without you telling them so much about it.

I really want to take this time to present my thanksgiving to God! Shelia, my best friend received Christ 3 weeks ago. I have been with her through thick and thin, through multitudes of drawing, storyboards and digital images. In September 2005, she showed her act of sacrifice by helping in my studio project when she has yet finished hers on the last day of the project. All these, touch my heart. When God shows himself clearly last year that He is real, in answering all my specific prayers and speaking with His reassuring voice, i was convinced that if my best friends and family don't come to know God, the destiny is different. It gives me a sense of urgency to bring them to come to know God, no matter how or what. I prayed for Shelia 1 year. Lots of rejections come in during this process as she was rather busy with her school and work. 3 weeks ago, i told her to come on sunday if she was unable to make it on saturday. She agreed and she crossed the line of faith! It is such a rejoicing moment for me, all my hard work and perseverance didn't go down to drain. I thank God for Jia Hui too, who come all the way down for service that day even though she has a terrible migraine. I can really see us functioning as the body of Christ when we sow on Shelia. Lol. I am sure this is not going to be the end of my evangelism, i am going to press on and see more and more people coming to know God.

Cheers,
Wei Hong aka Jasper John :p
