So, see you there. :)


Wow! 2 posts in 1 day. Today, i have a tremendous amount of time spent with my sheep. I have to say i love my sheep!

I was having shepherding with Stanley. I didn't teach him any lesson as i find that it is stressful enough to study for exam. We spent time talking to one another. I spent time correcting him & affirming for his faithfulness in serving God till now, even when it might be a bit too sudden for him to rise up as a leader, not so much according to his will & my will. But, i see his spirit in wanting to continue to support & to grow. He is very quick to change & grow from his weakness. Someone i thank God for in my life. It is him that God used to prune my weakness of impatience, & help me in my weakness of being indifferent. I pray that you will continue to do well, sheep.

I met Wei Koon later on at Jurong East. I must admit he is a very interesting person. He is someone very entertaining as well, to me. Haha. We spent time talking to one another about our ministry. He has a very keen interest to grow, & to outreach to non-believers. I spend time doing some A.Maths questions when i met him up, realized that i am still not too rusty as yet. I want to affirm him in the area of being extremely supportive, in spirit and in his companionship. He always outreached with me, even when he is studying. I pray that you will continue to grow, sheep.

Ok, enough of all my sheep. Now going to my grand-sheep. Haha. He is someone who is closed to my heart. I want to affirm Wei Kang, who has being bugged by me on MSN these few days. He is someone who is i must admit one of the most sincere guy, sweet spirit man i have met in my whole life! If i don't know the bible well, that everyone sins against God, i might think that he don't need God at all. Haha. But, God has worked tremendously in his life, and used him to invite his friends even! Praise the Lord! If you are reading my post, continue to grow. Although i keep pushing you to invite, but remember that our personal relationship with God ought to grow. I see you as a man to be used by God, & in DET. Persevere brother!

Yeah, enough affirmation. God bless you, if you are one of the above. I treasured you all! If you are not one of the above, you are treasured too!


It has been so long since i last post. I had an extremely fruitful time with Keng Ping just now as we were having lunch near his place. There is a level of excitement i have before i met him. I can say that it is fun/blessed to be able to follow up on a new believer.

When i asked him for any prayer request. He merely requested to have a good mood. Haha. The funniest thing was he wanted to have good mood because God has answered his prayers & he felt weird! Haha. Then i asked him this question, do he believe anything he asked for in prayer. With a mere "yes" as an answered, i showed him this verse.

Matthew 21:22
22If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."

To give you a brief description of what God has answered him in prayer. Here it is. On the day of caregroup, he fell sick. He contemplated whether to come for caregroup or not, as he felt nauseous and dizzy. With God's grace and a little persuasion from me, he chose to come down with faith! As a caregroup, we prayed that he will be freed from his sickness, just like how some blind men have been healed in the bible. Miraculously, God healed him! Today, he shared with excitement that, usually it took one week for his fever to be healed, God healed him on that day itself! Praise be to the Lord! Hallelujah!

I realized that the key to follow up - never spoonfeed them. Help them to experience their personal Jesus. I thank God how He has used me to follow up on this particular new believer. I have faith that he is going to continue to grow, & to be nurtured by the Holy Spirit.

Believe you all can do it as well! God be with all of you! :)


Hope to be in paradise now. I am so excited! 1 guy crossed the line of faith today! Praise the Lord! Yeah yeah! This is the first week of caregroup for NYP5 & we are just 2 people away from our goal! :)

I was taking the mrt with Wei Koon & Aaron just a moment ago. There is a girl who is wearing in black, standing directly behind Wei Koon. She is a very quiet woman, don't speak much i supposed. There was a girl who is standing beside this woman, who said excuse me multiple times to Wei Koon at the admiralty stop. Wei Koon just simply didnt hear her. LOL. She has no choice but to get over him by bending her body to walk pass him, underneath his hands which were holding on to the pole! LOL! The funniest thing is that, followed by it, the quiet & calm woman followed the woman out exactly the same way! Aaron, Wei Koon & I kept laughing & laughing at it. Precious moments! Haha


Today is a fruitful day spent. I did not just spend my time toiling on my project, I spent my time with Wei Koon & Yu Qing in outreaching. It's great!

I see how Yu Qing has sacrificed his time to do study & use his time to outreach. He absolutely sees the value of it, the outreach constantly brings him back to two months ago, when he said the first "yes" to Jesus. At the end of the day, i asked him, "Are you ashamed of proclaiming Jesus' name?" He humbly replied, "No, i am proud of it".

This brings me back to think that God is indeed moving in His people's hearts. God has blessed him with all As for his common test. His discipline speaks so much. Spending time with God at 9 in the morning, then have his own time to study. He is completing the covered topics for his exams, which wow! God has blessed him so much. I have faith he will do well. Fruitful time spent!


It has been a long long time since i post a good one. Today, i decided to dedicate some time to type this post well.

It has been a long long week for me. I can't exactly remember what happened but God has taught me a number of things this week. I was praying to God yesterday, at the ang mo kio park besides the mrt station. I was praying earnestly to Jesus, that He will give me a personal word. God shows me a scenario, where a squirrel ran. It's a personal word for me, to catch the non believers no matter how far they are going to run. I pray that i will be able to do so.

Traumatizing experiences are not as bad as unknown future. The experiences that you have can be put down, forgotten. But unknown future make you feel fearful. This is my personal opinion. Haha.

I don't know exactly where i am heading to right now. I feel like just leaving everything unattended. Despite all the fears i am having, some people just can't identify with me. I seriously need to consider carefully with the word of God what i ought to do next. I can't help others if i can't help myself. I don't like this kind of vulnerability, i feel weak & helpless. But that's because of pride & it do tear me down. I am not as humble as i seem. Sins & bad character are easily concealed.

I have been watching La Femme Desperado. I am totally amazed by Sharen Tang & Raymond Lam's acting. I am just so in love with them! Haha. It talks about a woman who is ditched by her husband who is absolutely unscrupulous. Then, she ditched him back, and this man then was tormented very badly by Sharen Tang. Haha. Thats so funny!

Here is the picture!




I have been working on my script with the knowledge of some people. This time, after watching heart of greed, i will plunge into the story of a family that is breaking apart. Find out from me if you want to know more about it.

It has been a year since i have been leading a caregroup. It is tough but enjoyable. God has put me in a team where there is really good support around. Kudos to Khok Yen, Chris, Suherman, Benjamin, Aaron & Stanley. It's a great joy to work together with all of you, serving the same God, i pray that this covenant will never ever be broken. :)

Today, my buddy also shares her most inmost feelings. Thank God for you, Evangeline. You've been a great joy to my life as well. We've braced many storms together. Your presence greatly encourages me, & motivate me to walk on. Thanks to Xing Xing who is always a good brother to listen to me & lighten up my heart.

Thank God for all my ex-leaders & present leaders as well. Kudos to Andrew, Jia Hui, Hui Mei, Kar Shun, Leslie & Li Yan. You all have given me great advice & i am sure this will help me in the long run.

Thanks to my mum who has seen me grown throughout all these years with all my bad habits, & bad temper.

Thanks to all of you who are involved in my life. Pardon me if i forgot your name, God sees it all! :)


Haha. What does my title means? It is taken from one sentence of the songs, "Against All Odds". The lyrics is actually "take a look at me now", but i changed it a bit.

What happened this week was we went everywhere for caregroup. Haha. Didn't get to meet up with a lot of people, but it was an extremely fun time of fellowship with the rest. I thank God that Yu Qing and Wei Kang like a lot as well.

Unexpectedly, i am a proposed leader of mission trip to Batu Pahat again! Lol\
