hey haven't been blogging in a long while cos i was away in aussie australia!:D lol.ok anw,it was more of a trip than of a holiday cos it was really tiring,trying to find directions around and everything.and we woke up really early in the morning ok!for the last two weeks i was waking up at 4am s'pore time.mind you,that's 7am australia time!lol...ok,so it was tiring,but it was really fun :) covered all land,air and sea during the trip.skydiving!haha.yeah we skydived from 10,000 feet off the ground from an aerobatics plane,those that do tricks in the air such as somersaults and stuff.lol.was scary at first during the jump but gradually it was really fun and exciting :) haha hope to do it again :)

lol the weather there's really crazy.the sun can be shining really bright at you but you feel cold cos the winds are really hard and constantly blowing at you,so you'd be wearing a jacket in the sun!lol!but one of the days in melbourne was really terrible.the temperature reached 40 degrees celcius and it was really hot and dry.yuck.lol

during the time i was there,God was just so faithful.encountered many problems,such as accomodation problems(don't want to dwell into that),sickness,aeroplane ticket problems,baggage problems and stuff.but God was really faithful in everything and we came out of each problem good :D praise God!

during the drive from sydney to melbourne,we came across mountains and seas and the twelve apostles point.it just amazed me about how when God comes,all the mountains will bow down and the seas will roar.the seemingly tall mountains will bow down and look very small.the seas will roar like never before at the face of our king.as i was in the plane,i was just amazed at how beautiful the mountains and land looked,about how God had created them so beautiful but He still proclaimed His creation of human beings as far more beautiful than anything else.it just amazes me.


Did you feel the mountains tremble?
Did you feel the oceans roar?
When the people rose to sing of,
Jesus Christ the Risen One.

Did you feel the people tremble?
Did you feel the singers road?
When the lost began to sing of,
Jesus Christ the Saving One.

And we can see that God You're moving,
A mighty river through the nations
Where young and old return to Jesus,
Fling wide you heavenly gates,
Prepare the way of the Risen Lord!

(Chorus)
Open up the doors and let the music play.
Let the streets resound with singing.
Songs that bring your hope,
And songs that bring your joy.
Dancers who dance upon injustice.

Do you feel the darkness tremble?
When all the saints join in one song,
And all the streams join as one river
To wash away our brokenness.

And here we see that God You're moving.
A time of jubilee is coming.
And young and old return to Jesus
Fling wide you heavenly gates,
Prepare the way of the Risen Lord!
(Chorus)

Another summer day
has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome...
but I wanna go home

...uhm Home

May be surrounded by
a million people I
still feel all alone
just wanna go home
I miss you, you know

And I've been keeping all the letters
that I wrote to you,
Each one a line or two
I'm fine baby, how are you?
I would send them but I know that it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane, another sunny place,
I'm lucky I know
but I wanna go home
I got to go home

Let me go home

I'm just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I'm living
someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
when everything was going right
And I know just why you could not come along with me
This was not your dream
but you always believed in me...

Another winter day
Has come and gone away
in either Paris or Rome
and I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
still feel alone
Let me go home
I miss you , you know

Let me go home
I've had my run
baby I'm done
I gotta go home

Let me go home
it'll all be alright
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home"

it's not how i want it

Is there anyone that fails
Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small

Cause when I take a look around
Everybody seems so strong
I know they'll soon discover
That I don't belong

So I tuck it all away, like everything's okay
If I make them all believe it, maybe I'll believe it too
So with a painted grin, I play the heart again
So everyone will see me the way that I see them

Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles to hide our pain
But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained glass masquerade

Is there anyone who's been there
Are there any hands to raise
Am I the only one who's traded
In the altar for a stage

The performance is convincing
And we know every line by heart
Only when no one is watching
Can we really fall apart

But would it set me free
If I dared to let you see
The truth behind the person
That you imagine me to be

Would your arms be open
Or would you walk away
Would the love of Jesus
Be enough to make you stay


would you stay if you knew the real me?would you still care so much if you knew me?me beyond the mask?me on the inside?me as i am?would you still be there if you knew me this way?why do people wear masks?to conceal their true character?to conceal who they really are?why the mask?when i look around,i see confident people.people who knew who they were.people who were probably not themselves.so i tuck it all inside,and cover it all with a plastic sheet,a covering,anything that covers.anything.but it's not how i want it.it's not who i want to be.i'm tired of living two lives.tired of not knowing who the real me is.tired.confused.trapped.but what can i do?what can i do?will these people still be here if they knew the real me?tough on the inside but collapsed beyond recognition on the inside?would they still be here if they knew?why am i so confused?why do i care so much?why???!!!


Take me now way beyond the veil
Where i can see You
Where i can see You

Hold me now in your arms of love
I want to be with You
I want to be with You

God can You hear the cry of my heart?Can You hear me?

Falling on my knees in worship
Giving all I am to seek your face
Lord all I am is yours

My whole life
I place in your hands
God of Mercy
Humbled I bow down
In your presence at your throne

I called you answered
And you came to my rescue and I
I wanna be where you are

In my life be lifted high
In our world be lifted high
In our love be lifted high



"They will fight against you but will not overcome you,for i am with you and will rescue you," declares the Lord
Jeremiah1:19

listen.obey.act.

Nobody stood and applauded them
So they knew from the start
This road would not lead to fame
All they really knew for sure was Jesus had called to them
He said, Come, follow me
And they came
With reckless abandon they came

Empty nets lying there at the water's edge
Told a story that few could believe and none could explain
How some crazy fishermen agreed to go where Jesus led
With no thought for what they would gain
For Jesus had called them by name and they answered

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call
No other reason at all but the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die
For the sake of the call

Drawn like rivers are drawn to the sea
No turning back for the water cannot help but flow
Once we hear the Savior's call we'll follow wherever He leads
Because of the love He has shown
Because He has called us to go we will answer

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call
No other reason at all but the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die

Not for the sake of a creed or a cause
Not for a dream or a promise
Simply because it is Jesus who calls
And if we believe we'll obey

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call
No other reason at all but the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die
For the sake of the call



as i listened to this song,it just touched my heart about how the fishermen could put down everything and just followed Jesus when He called them.to fully trust Him even when nobody agreed with their decision to follow.to follow not because of earthly gains but because they caught the heartbeat of Jesus,they understood the words of Jesus,and they followed the call.we often think twice before we decide whether we should follow Jesus in certain situations,whether to do the right things when it did not seem logical to do so.whether to trust God when nothing seems to be working for you.the fishermen then did not bother about their earthly rewards when they heard Jesus and decided to follow Him.their attitude was what caused them to drop everything they had and to simply obey the call.Sometimes all we have to do is to simply listen and obey,not for earthly gains but for what is in store for us in heaven.


I have decided
To follow Jesus
I have decided
To follow Jesus

No turning back
No turning back

Lord i ask not for a lighter load but for a stronger back.
Lord i ask not for a lighter load,not for a stronger back but for grace.

just had first week of sign-ups for camp yesterday.registration was smooth,but the tallying of accounts and money was terrible.we were constantly short of money and at the end of last night,after 3 hours of tallying accounts,we found we were $130 short.frustrated.prayed together with the comm and p.Gary about the sign-ups then decided to close for the day.everything was to be done next week.however,received an sms from sis Shufen this morning,all the money was in and the amt of money we received tallied with the number of sign-ups!we even managed to get a better number of sign-ups than we had expected!praise the Lord! =D

i'm really excited about camp.it's coming in 29 days!haha...BATTLECALL!

wow,I'm leaving for Australia on Wednesday,but i don't really wanna go though.will be missing a lot of stuff and people in the 2-3 weeks I'll be away.but I'll try to enjoy myself nonetheless :)

this'll probably be my last post before i leave :( will miss u guys while i'm there.as for the camp comm,continue to pray hard and plan hard!:D



Would you believe me if I said
That we are the ones
Who can make the change
In the world today
Would you believe me if I said
That all of the dreams in your heart
Can come true today Yeah...
Would you believe me if I said
That life could be all
That you want it to be today Yeah...Yeah...

And if I had wings I would fly
'cause all that I need You Are
And if the world caved in around me
To You I'd still hold on
'cause Your all that I believe
And the one that created me
Jesus because of You I'm Free

Would you believe me if I said
That God can make miracles
Happen today Yeah...Yeah...
Would you believe me if I said
That you don't need to wait
For the answer before
You step out in faith
Would you believe me if I said
That nothing is ever impossible for God
Yeah...Yeah...

Just live your life with God inside
You won't regret one moment of it
Just give all that you can for God for God

Looking Right

A story goes:
Once there was a man who dared God to speak:Burn the bush like you did for Moses,God.And I will follow.Collapse the walls like you did for Joshua,God.And I will fight.Still the waves like you did on Galilee,God.And I will listen.
And so the man sat by a bush,near a wall,close to the sea and waited for God to speak.
And God heard the man,so God answered.He sent fire,not for a bush,but for a church.He brought down a wall,not of bricks,but of sin.He stilled a storm,not of the sea,but of a soul.
And God waited for the man to respond.And He waited...and waited.
But because the man was looking at bushes,not hearts;bricks and not lives;seas and not souls,he decided that God had done nothing.
Finally he turned to God and asked,Have you lost your power?
And God turned to him and said,Have you lost your sense of hearing,sight and felt?Have you lost your heart?


many times,we are like the man,looking for the right things but in the wrong perspective and place.And when we do not find what we set out to find,we grumble and complain and ask God if He still cared.But God's reply is,My son/daughter,here i am,seek me and you'll find me.You see,we can be caught up in so many things that we think will lead us to experience more of God that we lose our purpose in doing things.We can be caught up in serving a lot but sometimes all we want is to receive recgonition for our work from our leaders and not from God.Starting today,seek not recgonition from your leaders,but seek to gain recgonition from God himself.



Open the eyes of my heart, Lord
Open the eyes of my heart
I want to see You
I want to see You

(Repeat)

To see You high and lifted up
Shining in the light of Your glory
Pour out Your power and love
As we sing holy, holy, holy

High and lifted up
Shining in the light of Your glory
Pour out Your power and love
As we sing holy, holy, holy

Holy, holy, holy

born again

sry haven't had the chance to post in a long time.but now,i'm posting!lol

ok...recently i've been pushing God to one side and i've been thinking i can accomplish all my tasks by myself.i've just been so busy with camp planning and schoolwork that i hadn't really had time to do my TAWG and just spend time alone with Him.but last saturday during fuel,the question of giving everything you're doing to God,and it really struck me about how i was living my life.i really thank God for stopping me in time before i destroyed myself.

as i was doing my TAWG that night,i was just asking God how i can feel Him so close again.and God brought me to this verse.

John 3:3 "In reply Jesus declared,"I tell you the truth,no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."

At first i was puzzled about what Jesus meant in this verse,and i prayed and asked God to reveal what He meant,and He did.

Think of it this way.Sin put you behind prison.Sin locked you behind the bars of guilt and shame and deception and fear.Sin did nothing but shackle you to the wall of misery.Then Jesus came and paid your bail.He served your time;He satisfied the penalty and set you free.Vhrist died,and ehen you cast your lot with Him,your old-self died too.The only way to be set free from the prison of sin is to pay the full price.in this case the full price is death.someone has to die,either you or a heaven-sent substitute.You cannot leave prison unless there is a death.And that death occured at Calvary.And when Jesus died,your old self died as well.You were set free.You were born again.

This was like a brick thrown at me by God to stop me in my tracks.He wanted to get my attention,to be aware that i'm heading for desruction if i continued in my old ways.and that night,i gave it all to God.Thank you Lord.



You stood before creation
Eternity in Your hand
You spoke the earth into motion
My soul now in His hands

You stood before my failure
Carried the Cross for my shame
My sin went upon Your shoulders
My soul now in His hands

So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

I walk upon salvation
The Spirit of light in me
My soul to declare Your promise
My life in Your hands

So I'll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all

So I'll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours
