Fire Burn, Burnt It Deep

I guessed I was a little "depressed" after hearing Ps sermon last Sunday at the evening service. I spent a few days pondering why....? Memories of the past came to my mind....the "glory" days of the church, how we moved the roof of the building by manpower, how we had crusades like every weeks, how we saw hundreds of people coming to Jesus.....

So how did we loose it? I believe it was when we decided that we can do all things by ourselves...it was when we no longer depend on the Holy Spirit.....when we said we had seen it all, been thru it all, what else is too difficult for me.....and day by day....we drifted, drifted, drifted away from the presence of God, His anointing....We forgot that Christ died on the cross for all........His love........His grace......

Oh God, help me to come back to You each day, fill me with your Spirit, anew and afresh each day. Never never let me depart from Your presence and Your love, You Grace. Help me to know, nothing is too difficult for me, only when You are with me....

Sunday Evening Service

Was at evening service last Sunday…hmm..was it snowing outside? I was there manning the sign up counter for the 30th Anniversary Dinner….hahaha..that’s explained…

Ps preached on the “used to be” distinctiveness of the church, and we should get back to excel in them. However, he did not mentioned how we lost it, and how we should gain it back.
I am pondering, should all these be the issues of heart rather than a methodology. E.g. the idea of setting up places for worship training is great, but is this the real problem? Did we “lost it” because the worship team lacks training, or ….

Actually, I felt rather discourage after the service……strange to attend a service and get discourage….shouldn’t I get at least excited or motivated?

Harry showed us his masterpiece last night at the care group....



He had this cut at his left feet. Doctor gave him some cream but it didn't get any better. So he took a black string and needle and sewed it himself. And he said proudly, " I also used super glue to make sure the flesh stick together".

We insisted he must go see a doctor!

Women & Cockroaches

"Yeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed Yvonne. Nathan and I turned right back from our main door.

"A cockroach jump out my handbag!" Yvonne said with a squeeky voice.

As I was late for work and it was a baby cockroach, I did not bother to go after it.....hmmm....but wonder how Yvonne felt?....... Sorry dear, if I miss that..........hmmm, in the first place, how did that cockroach got into the bag?

Why most, not all, women with cockroaches? I mean... God only cursed the relationship between women and serpent right?

Who Kills my dreams?

Have I stop dreaming? Or has my dream stops?

Who kills my dreams?

Watched this travel program on TV the other night; there was an interview with this man who had relocated from Taiwan to China due to his business. In order to fulfill his dreams (from a small factory to a big plant), he had to relocate himself and family to China.

It was difficult decision for this family of 5. His relocation required changes, being uncomfortable and having tremendous adjustments of his family.

Because of a dream, they are willing to change, to take the risk and relocated to China. And they succeded.

What about me, I asked myself. Have I ceased to dreams? Have I stop those dreams God had placed in my hearts? Have I stop those dreams because of Fear, fear of changes and taking the risk?

I don’t have an answer to these questions myself, at least now.…….

When I first dreamt, He placed a word in my heart, I became a “Life Group” leader. The next time He gave me a word, I became a full-time worker in church. Later, He spoke again I became a youth minister and divisional overseer. Than He spoke again, I left full-time. Have not heard His voice for a long time….Lord, how I long to hear to hear your voice….or ....am I afraid to hear His voice?

A Relationship with God - The Begining

Read ES blog this morning, hmmm…George…young lad call Eng Soon…those were the days….
I have several people that impacted by live in an unusual ways.

Ms (Sis) Margaret Kok : -
She is now sitting by the side of Jesus, gazing at His wonderful face. She was my primary 6 form teacher. She was also the one who showed me Jesus, the way to peace, joy and love. You see, I was born in a so-called Christian family. I attended Mandarin/Hokkien children church. However, I was not satisfied with myself, and have always looked for the real meaning of lives. At the age as early as 10, I entertained thoughts of suicide, because I found no meaning in live. I seek, and seek, but I found none…till I met Ms Margaret. She told me only Jesus could give me the joy and meaning to all things. She told me it’s a relationship with Jesus, our Lord, that matters and not the form of religions. To cut the long story short, I accepted Jesus into my heart and make Him my Lord and Saviour. (Quite a long story, if interested can contact me lor)
She also helped me out of my low self esteem, made me “big brother” to some boys. She taught me to be a gentleman, a ‘servant’ to people around me. Most importantly, she taught me to love God, love Jesus and love others. She shaped the foundation of my faith….

Miss Margaret, thank you….


Bro Aik Seng and Sis Eileen,
Bro Aik Seng "watched over" me when I joined Calvary, he saw me through the time I suffered from perforated ear drum. Through it, I experienced God’s mighty miraculous healing. The eardrum was healed and doctors were amazed.
Sis Elieen, she is a woman of faith. She took care of her bedridden husband for almost 20 years. She was than my associate life group leader many years back. The scene of me and Chee Mun helped to bath her husband, Bro Ronald, is still clearly in my mind. Sis Eileen saw me through the different struggles of my youth days and encouraged me to serve God. Even till today, she is always there to pray for me and my household.

Bro Henry Sia,
I remember many years ago at a church camp at Cameron Highlands; I sprained my left ankles while helping as a bus captain for the coach. Bro Henry came to my room every day throughout the camp, and rubbed my feet to eased my pain (though was painful when he was rubbing). When he holded my feet and rubbed, I almost tears, remembering Jesus washing the feet of the disciples. Later he became my Divisional Overseer, and taught me many things, especially in evangelism. And he inspired me by his unwavering faith for the Lord .

There are many more.....will write about them when I have more time........till then.....

A Day at the Singapore Zoo

It has been a long time since we visited the zoo as a family. So, we decided to go despite we have to pay the entrance tickets (norm will get free pass from company).

It was quite a wet day, we asked Nathan to pray while on our way there. Nathan, however, was a little "lack of faith"....so daddy and mommy encouraged him lor.... the rain did stop for most parts of our visit, praise the Lord! It was until we reached our intended end point, the children playground, that the rain started pouring. As we all had a high spirit, we put on the rain coat and kept "letting the animals see us".... Nathan enjoyed walking in the rain..... : o )

I really enjoy spending time with Yvonne and Nathan.....

The pics are posted at flickr , click the flickr at the rightside to see.

Hmm...btw, Yvonne complaints that the toilets in the zoo are all quite dirty, quite bad for Singapore image......

Here are some pics at the airport. Yvonne, Nathan and I were very tired cos was there at 2am….and the previous night we also slept at 2am………..sign of old age…

Surprise Party







It was a surprise farewell party for Andrew at 8pm. At 7.40pm, I received a sms from Andrew “ I may not be able to make it…….” What a surprise!!!! I quickly reverted “ I am stuck with some stuff and need u around to lead the group”….. At the end, Karen called him and told him we were all waiting for him. He came.

It was a warm & cozy (cramp) night of fellowship and “partying”. No drugs, no alcohol but just high in the spirit. JJ led the praise and worship….dynamics!!! As Andrew was late we started the spread that I had took leave to prepare….plus cleaning my house up…hehehe : o )
We want to thank God for each of us that were there that night, Ps Danny and Sis Hazel, Andrew’s ex-youth group (Jocelyn, Jackie, Joel), the ladies care group and of course, the men group.

Special thanks to Oliver for the “siew mia”, Denise for the “agar agar” , Chee Leong for the card and for all you finishing up all the food. Thank you.

As the party ended, Jocelyn, Jackie, Eng Wee, Alpha and Joel stayed back and we chit chat till almost 1pm……the good old days

The pics is at flickr, click the icon on the rite....

Ps: Wah I old liao, can’t “tong” like last time……so tired!
