LG outing.


As promised to Lester and Stanley, it's defamation time for all the crimes you both have done!!!
To all who went to the LG outing, perish and burn in the burning lake of sulphur!! Muahaha.

No la. Joking.

Anyway, we went out to cycle at ECP and eat Sakae at PArkway. Thought FON-Kok's eating prowess would rear it's true abilities. Alas, all came to a nought.

So anyway, here are some pictures for your entertainment. Hmm, should start installing the flikcer thing...


LEster just woke up....Haha..


Look at Stanley, he just woke up too.

"Don't cut down my forest! You have to cut past me! No I am not letting go of this tree! No!"

Marvel

It's amazing how time flies. It is already Friday.

Phew! Bali video is finally done! Burnt it out yesterday already.

Cool man! Haha. Thank You Gloria and DOm, in case I do forget to thank ya. Here it is for the record!

Anyway, went to see guitars yesterday. Got to know a guitar guy at Bras Basah better. Didn't get a chance to share with the army friend I went with, but I did ask him whether he wanted to come church. He said no.

Last night, had a really good chat with Aunty Veron. She told me about her childhood stories and how she came to know the Lord. It was simply amazing. I am amazed at her life. And how God has changed her and brought her so many blessings.

Well, as with all such conversations, one starts thinking about oneself. I was no exception.

As I took the train how, I started to think about my life. I asked myself, what have I done to deserve such a life?

What have I done to deserve a well-to-do family, while the kid on the street struggles to buy a bowl of noodles because his dad went to jail?

What have I done to deserve a car to drive, when people walk home becuase they don't have money to pay for bus?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It brought me new perspectives on material wealth.

MAterial gains really don't belong to me, they are just a gift from God. I don't deserve it, and God doesn't value it.

Suddenly, social status, money, assets all fade to a dimly casted shadow. A pale comparison.

Lord, I want to live my life better. Thank You for Your blessings. I won't start being altogether altruistic or philantrophic, but one thing I'll do - be grateful.

My House COmputer is down!!

Argh! My brother and I did something to the wireless router and now I cant access the internet.

Anyway, some of the guys are in Ipoh. I am here in S'pore, giving up my holiday to do Bali Video! What a great sacrifice. Haha. Lame.

So it's been a while, since that's the case, let's go through what I've been doing since sunday.

Well, slept in till 1pm on Monday, thanks toWorld Cup. Zidane, Zidane, the world's rambling and musing about you. Why why, did you miss the header and hit Materazzi? Oh Well.

I played Tennis with Uncle on Tuesday and went to his house to watch Baloche talk about music theory on DVD.

Well, we were parking at AMK Ave 10 to eat lunch (It's a great place to eat Ban Mian!!) and GLen was talking about worhsip leading. He said, in my own phrases, that sometimes we place expectations on ourselves and expect certain things to happen in worship.

Well, I thought about it, and I felt it's true for me. Sometimes, as a worhsip leader, I want God to move in a certain way; maybe His Holy Holy presence falls and all prostrate in awe. Hah.

But yesterday, it's just dawned upon me, again, that it really isn't about me and my expectations. I just have to let Him do it.

That's why sometimes I feel so stressed, almost like a need to perform. So I've learnt.

Lord, it really never was about the song or the arrangement, it's about You and pleasing You.
