Have been at four services this C'mas. Another four services for year end!
Thanks to the Joel, Joelynn & Joey & family, we had a great time at their house feasting!
Came home to irresistable homecooked food (by Tuyen's mum) ... and ate again.
Anyway, these days, I don't seem to have much to share ... sigh.
Till I'm able to do so again, God keep!

p.s.: thanks for all your gifts! And thanks to my bestie for always brightening my day!

Converting the old VHS tapes of CHC's services back in 1989, 1990, etc., is good.
I was deeply moved during the worship time ...

Still basking in the atmosphere of last night's Thanksgiving Service ... except that it's in the realm of my own heart :)

I chilled out with Val @ East Coast's Old Town White Coffee cafe after leaving Expo. On my way home after spending a good time with her, I found tears welling up in my eyes as I recollected God's goodness, and as I thought about all the people I'm thankful for ...

I am thankful that I stayed around in God's house, although there were times in the past when I wanted to leave because of my own pursuits ... worthless pursuits. CHC is really the place where I really started to "live". My life has been transformed by the house of God. I never want to be found anywhere else. No where else on earth has heaven so near to it.

Keep me, God.

Here's PTYP's & Jacq's oldest boy, Samuel.
I caught him listening intently to PK preach on Saturday (in the Guest Room).
Samuel has PTYP's traits (i.e. loving the Word)! Goodness.
I like him very much!

Dayan is having his Birthday Party at Expo. And it's amazingly Sesame Streetish!!! Although it's "blurred", the photo above is special, because a woman I respect is in it: JACQ! (Far right) She was my HOD when I first started on staff. She's Pastor Tan's very capable wife ... And the one I actually hoped (years back), that I could serve as a P.A. to, one day!
And of course, the pretty mummy in the center is Lifen, Ps Jo's beautiful wife and equally capable woman.

The Thanksgiving Service last night was awesome.
It felt so good because the pioneers were all in the hall ... and it is very amazing to be in the presence of these awesome men and women who loved God all their lives, and who laid down their lives to build His Church.
I feel very happy ... because Sun has been gone for so long, and I've always felt that the members in CHC who came after Sun started her "crossover project" never had an opportunity to know her, and her heart.
But last night, it was very evident that Sun had impacted so many people ...
Sometimes I do wish that I started out with the pioneers ...
Nevertheless, I am very grateful to God that I get to be in the company of these pioneers now.
Although the dynamics of relationship are different, I count it my privilege.
I am deeply touched.

I love Your House.



To live with the touch of Your hand ... stronger each day.



I saw someone's mother. And in her mother, I saw the love of my own mother.

I don't know that "someone" ... Neither do I know her mum.
But everything her mum did, the way she cared for her daughter (who looks a little sickly), made me see my mum's love.

And it is often all these acts of love we get so often, that we tend to overlook and take for granted ... until the day we don't receive them any more.

I must learn to appreciate every time my mum barges in to my room and asks me persistently to drink some health tonic, or to eat something ... instead of dismissing them and saying I'm too busy ...

I must appreciate every act of love that I've often overlooked :)



To live with the touch of Your hand ... stronger each day.



Sometimes, it takes someone else ... for me to see myself.
I realised that I often overlook my own weaknesses until I see them in someone else's life.
And then I realised my own weaknesses. And then I realise there is much room left for change in my own life ...

Perhaps, sometimes, I got to step out of my own world, and see it from an outsider's point of view.

Holy Spirit, have Your way in me. Let Your progressive work continue on in me.

In the midst of a busy (and increasingly busy) life, it's in all those short "pauses", those moments ... that I find my heart, the core of my heart. In these pause moments, I find the gratitude I've kept within me toward God, toward awesome people who have been around me ...
And I stand amazed at the goodness of God that has never ever failed in my life.

I bring to remembrance, my "altar call" song back in June 1999. It is the song of my life, and to God I sing ...

I stand in awe
So amazed
Totally changed by Your presence forever
Every time I look into Your eyes
I see a glimpse of what I've always wanted to be
Let me be changed
Let me be changed
In Your presence

Went to Expo to find PK, to help him with some stuffs.
PK was at Expo because he brought Dayan to play with the kids ...
All the pastors' kids speak very, very well! Impressed.
And they are super cute!




To live with the touch of Your hand ... stronger each day.



Am at Expo now. The kids of the pastors are here @ Kids@Play to play together with Dayan. Day is so cute and handsome!!! And I'm happy he remembered my name! Ha ha ... Goodness, he's a handsome boy.

Did filming just now ... goodness, so kuazhang. Sighs :(

For the first time in years, I've actually not had time to do shopping, let alone Christmas shopping.

Anyways, thanks to dear Kel for shopping for me and getting me my Christmas gifts! A nice jacket and a top.

Thanks to my friends for the Christmas pressies too! Sweet of you!

And now, I gotta somehow squeeeeeeeeeeeze in time to shop for some good friends.

Feeling the newness of every day, and loving that.

Sun is back! It is so nice to see her again ... so happy to say hi to her and be in her presence!
She's so beautiful, and the atmosphere around her is really indescribable!

Dayan is such a handsome boy. Speaks with a slight American accent already ...

God bless the Kong family :)

Last night, I had an opportunity to chat a little with Jacq ... she is someone I've always admired. She's Ps Tan's lovely wife, my ex-boss, a powerful lady who served PK for many years till now even. Always love talking to her ... :)

Had a "shocking" news just now ... but I'm thankful for this opportunity!

I went to see baby Nick yesterday ... And going by the little babies causes my heart to feel so warm on the inside. Lullabies start playing in my mind. I start to smile and my troubles fade away at that magical instant.

In a world that is so fast-paced ... where all our hearts tend to get distracted and filled with all sorts of rubbish easily ...

It's good to once in a while see something like that: These innocent little ones are symbols of new life, the God factor in life, birthing of new things, innocence, simplicity ...

GOD BLESS YOU, baby nick. You will grow up in the ways of God, somehow. And you will know the God who gave you this breath of life ... many good years ahead, dear one!

But one that's of simple joys that explode into real, big joys.
Loving the Christmas season.



To live with the touch of Your hand ... stronger each day.



I am very encouraged.

Yesterday (or was it the day before), one of my members text-messaged me to say she felt led to pray for me, for strength and all ... and she's relatively new in our CG :)

Just now, my ex-member told me that during Prayer Meeting, he thought of me and felt God wanting to "bless" me ... even dreamt that he was helping me with stuffs. (Ha ha ... and I was about to ask for help next week!)

Anyways, simple things and thoughts, and powerful prayers that make all the difference to me!

Appreciate it, guys :)

Once again, I'm very thankful to Wy & Em who have been helping me every day!
And thanks to Ying too for coming by to help me for the past hours since morning.
Converting the old VHS tapes to DVDs is a long process, but converting these very old tapes from CHC's beginnings is actually a blessing!
I got to watch PK and the pioneers. What's most heart-stirring is the way they had PASSION.
Every praise time, the guys jumped and literally danced with ALL THEIR MIGHT.
Every worship time, everyone knelt down spontaneously.
No doubt, every one looked very "old-fashioned" ... But back then, the kinda passion is certainly not hype. The energy came from the crowd and not the pulpit ... It was amazing.

Sometimes, I wonder ...

Is progress a very good thing after all?

Seems that with progress, we lose a lot of simplicity along with it ...

But GOD is a GOD of new things.

In recent years, I have not been able to "feel" Christmas.
Sometimes, I really miss the feeling of really experiencing Christmas, the parties, the gift exchanges, the shopping ...
I honestly can't tell it's Christmas season ... although I "know" it is.

All I want for Christmas, is some time to do personal reflection, have soul time, plan for the year ahead ...

...
Live the higher call.



To live with the touch of Your hand ... stronger each day.



I think the few of my dear members who have been helping me with uploading CDS, and myself, are gonna become very good at media/audio stuff.

Think about at least 500 video tapes (to convert to DVDs).
Think about hundreds and hundreds of CDs to upload.
Think about hundreds of cassettes to start converting soon.

And all these above the other stuffs I'm trying to complete.

Holy Spirit, empower me!

Thank you especially to Em & Wy who have been helping me!!! Thanks to Jo who helped me the other day. Thanks to Stephie who came into help today. And for Kel's steadfast support! Your availability at all times is very precious to me!
Love ya all loads...



To live with the touch of Your hand ... stronger each day.

So, good night all!

Is Christmas round the corner? Oh man, I cannot even feel it ...
Been very busy, so much so, I've not found time to blog ... When I do have time, it's for rest and sleep ...

December & January are gonna be packed months.

Anyway, somehow, I feel it inside of me ... that the inner me is seeking to learn something, and to grow. Just figuring out what exactly.

Anyhow,

God, help me to always remember ...

Some photos snapped @ Pulai Springs ... Jerbie & I after a great service @ Skudai. That night, Pastor Kong preached Caleb the Dreamer Part II, and he laid hands on the Singapore team too!!! Double portion :) Thank God for that ... I was so moved by the Holy Spirit.

And oh man, the food at Bamboo Restaurant is very, very good! In fact, all the food served during this retreat is good!!!

Had a good time with Jerbie :)

Had a great first day here @ Pulai Springs ... it's a nice place :)
Very touched by the Holy Spirit during the devotion sessions (one in the morn with PK, another at night with PTYP). We also went to Jusco to shop (I just nestled at Starbucks with Kel, Jerb & Jarod ... enjoyed it!). Thereafter, we came back to Pulai and had Aerobics class!!! Man, so fun. Reminds me of the days I used to join Aerobics. Maybe I should do so again!

Tomorrow's gonna be a full day. Breakfast, devotion, yoga, afternoon games, dinner, night session with PK at Skudai, supper ... And I've gotta use the afternoon to do my work too.

May this retreat truly be a vision-enlarging one! :)

Had a heart to heart talk with Emily @ the Riviera ... talked about her dreams, and we also prayed together while the breeze blew our way and the drizzle pitter-pattered on us ... loved that feeling :)

Am sooo looking forward to S4 ... missed out on Pastor's laying on of hands part yesterday because I had to prepare to rush to Expo with him. So, I'm excited for S4!

Gonna be a mad rush later ... After S4, CGM. And then rush my work to be completed, pack my bags for Pulai Springs resort ... And then 6:45 a.m. tomorrow, gather at JW to board the coach to JB with the rest ...

May it be a good and fruitful week!!! :)

This morning, I had an opportunity to share my faith as a Christian to the beautician who was doing my eyebrow ... It was amazing. I asked where she stayed at, to which she replied Jurong West.

Looking at my very pregnant sis-in-law and my colleague Carol, causes me to be in awe of this whole miracle of life!

Isn't it amazing how God starts off a life in His mind (by thinking about us before the foundations of the world, and determining when we are to be born, to whom, where ...)? And then He forms that life within the womb of a woman, and you watch her stomach and tummy grow bigger by the months ... because of a life, a baby forming inside mama's womb. And then in about nine months, on a very special "due date" ("birth"day), POP!!!

A new life is added to this world that God created.
Nope, cannot be evolution, puhlease?!

Baby Nick, welcome to the world, so soon. I pray you will grow up to know the God Who formed you in your mama's womb. And your aunty is excited to see you!!! Aunty?! Goodness me!!!

I turned to a book, a precious find, for a word for November 26. It says ...

"A primary method for gaining a mind full of peace is to practise emptying the mind. At least twice a day, empty your mind of fears, hates, insecurities, regrets and guilt feelings."

Oh wow. Perfect word. I love quotes. Emptying my mind. Now, how do I do that?

I think I better laugh. I will laugh!

The moment I am about to attempt one of my projects, another task comes in to be done ...

And now, I'm beginning to really understand, love, and live by Jesus' words to my "ou xiang" Apostle Paul:

"My grace is sufficient for you. My strength is made perfect in your weakness."

"I've got a lot of work left to accomplish!!!" (I find myself often exclaiming with great panic)

Fact is, I've conquered quite a lot of it, with the great help I've been blessed with from every side!

I got to "realign" my focus and focus on the good, the lovely, what's of good report.

So Cynthia ... meditate on these things!

I'm making a list and checking it twice ...

Lists, lists, lists.
I've got many lists to manage in this season!
My goal is simple: To cancel them ALL!
Crossover to 2010 on a clean sheet ...
And start lists again.

I love to organise my life into lists, and gauge my productivity by CANCELLING THEM.

My goal :)

And I am wanting a retreat to do these lists and live by them. Coming retreat, perhaps?

Life is more meaningful and I am more passionate when I can see what I am doing and where I am heading!

Wheeweetweet!

The book of Romans is definitely a theological kind of book. Deep!
Saul-turned-Paul was the perfect man to play that crucial role in spreading the gospel message far and wide man!

When Karuna was a little girl, she used to follow me on my nightly cycling-prayer trip around YT. She would sit on the "backseat" of my bicycle as I cycled round and round. I would sing, pray, worship ... And I taught her to do her own quiet time while I did mine. How moldable and impressionable little ones are. I never will forget that!

Tonight, the breeze beckoned me to go on a night walk ... So I'm currently waiting for Kar to finish bathing, and we will go for our prayer walk soon :)

We may grow up and move on into whole new phases of life. But certain things must never change. They should grow along with us.

Like Ps Casey Treat said, things that are godly and important will not become a part of my life unless I do them daily.

You are wonderful, Holy Spirit ... Let's grow old together. (Although I don't know if that happens for You ... ha ha. Or I should say, let me grow old with You. I love You so much, more every day.)

I am never too comfortable blogging my more private and "detailed" thoughts.
So will just be brief and speak in general ways ...

Basically, am thinking and wondering ...

Hmm, am not sure about you, but for me, I can't be bothered after a while if someone becomes indifferent. I try for a certain time ... but after a while, if you don't budge or if you keep waiting for me to move first, you can sort of forget about it, cause I won't really be bothered any more since you don't put in equal effort. I will initiate in small or big ways for a time. But not forever. I'm not God, you've ever realised?

Had a great talk with Kel as we walked from BP to CCK. Enjoyed the cool night breeze as usual.
The wonderful thing about this friendship between us is that I can engage in meaningful, spiritual and deep issues with him, and we can end up praying for specific people and for each other. That is one of the best parts in this "friendship".
Tonight, we talked about leadership, people to "raise" up ... And we also prayed for some of the men of God who don't know us but whom we respect and know :)
We watched 2012 with Bee ... well, food for thought.
Felt like the modern day version of "Noah" and the "ark".

Oh wow, from 10 a.m. till now, I've been sitting and working on my laptop! Isn't that amazing?

Have you ever been in a stuffy warehouse where there's absolutely no ventilation, and then after being inside for hours, you step out into the open air? I've done that and every time I exclaim, "woah! It feels like there's air conditioning out here!"

Something must be wrong with me.
I think about food more often than I think of Kel ... =p
I am hungry, again.
Actually, if you've been following my blog the past years, you should have read that I don't get hungry easily.
I eat because I LOVE to eat (I'm a live-to-eat and not eat-to-live person!) ... and, I crave.
But now, I actually am hungry.

I was reading SUN's tweets (www.twitter.com/mynameissun) one after another. Her latest was a retweet of P. Phil's live painting event in Manhattan, where P. Phil painted the above---the mighty cross and the awesome Saviour of the world.

I'm thinking about Sun too. I "suddenly" sensed her heart---one that's so undefiled, so pure, so unadulterated, with such humility, dependence and love for her God.

Never can, never will understand that. And never will understand why people who do not know her real person, will ever cast their judgments based on ... nothing credible.

I know Sun will never get to read this. But I have often been moved by the person she is. I am moved by her love for God, and her honour for God's great men and women ...

God, bless SUN always. And of course, my pastor too. You, Who know all things, You Who know their hearts through and through. God, bless them always, I pray. Amen.

In Romans 16, a subtitle caught my attention ...

"Avoid Divisive People":

"Now I urge you brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them. For those do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple."

Woah. You're direct, saint Paul!

Paul was talking to the Church. We may even find such within a small group.

May we never ever be "divisive people" in our thought-life, actions, words, heart attitudes.
And, may we not be too much of a simpleton, that we don't even recognise such, or worse still, get deceived by divisive spirits of people amongst us.

I am going backwards ... heh, cause I'm currently into Apostle Paul. What a hero of faith.
And if I can "imitate" his life in any way or learn from his experiences, I am somewhat "imitating" Christ.

Thank you, saint Paul. Would love to shake your hand in heaven someday. What a hero you are. I never could have lived for Christ the way you did. But still, I'm so glad you're a part of that amazing, amazing cloud of witnesses who has been cheering me on in this race of faith that I am running. Keep cheering me on, would ya? Love ya much. Thanks for inspiring me.

Was enjoying my chocolate macadamia nuts (in my cup of Ben & Jerrys ice cream) after dinner, when I thought I dropped one nut on my top. I was trying to remove it when I realised, it was one of my most feared creatures ... A beeeeeeetle!!! Eeeeeeks! I screamed and froze and shouted for Kel's help. Kel valiantly removed it with his bare hands.

K is full of mercy and grace. Like my friends are. E, G, W are all full of mercy.
And K says that if he feels someone is getting too familiar, he will respond by distancing himself because that's what another K will do.

To live with the touch of Your hand ... stronger each day.



There's something Kel and I ALWAYS talk about. And very often, in recent times. That is, the issue of relationship between friends, between a mentor-mentee, discipler-disciple ...

I feel very blessed in my heart and very encouraged when I know that I have someone with a like-minded heart. More than that, when that someone has character that is proven. It's wonderful having a person with pure spirit, teachability, passion for God and little things. And above all, a right heart with all the right attitudes, at all times. Amazing, huh?

Give me a person who understands the dynamics of relationship, and who always observes "spaciality" at the right times (not becoming over-familiar, yet being so close) ... this person is a treasure.

That's why I admire PTYP & PK. It's complex, but it's mind-blowingly simple at the same time. *respect*

And make me someone like that, Abba :)

Passion for all the little things.
Passion for all the small dreams i'm already living in ...

The mountain song.
How interesting is that!
I love that feeling of "journeying" and "flying" as I worship ...
I love the feeling of being "lost" during my worship moments, when I become totally unaware of my physical surroundings, when my whole being is fully immersed in the moments of worship ...

Take me deeper.

I want ...

Greater wisdom.

AND,

An understanding heart.

Dear EMSIE is always around to help me for every little errand, in every little way.
The most touching thing she ever said to me was, "My dream is to be your P.A. one day!"
That divine moment of encouragement came earlier, when she knocked on the glass pane that separated where she was seated and where my office desk is, to show me an old CHC CD "Against All Odds". She was trying to show me Sun leading worship on the CD cover.
What I saw was "Against All Odds" ...
And then I typed a message on my BB and knocked on the glass pane,
"Were you giving me a word of encouragement?"

She looked puzzled.
Then she looked at the cover again and nodded her head.
Ha ha ... she was trying to show me how Sun looked like back then.
What I saw was "against all odds".

Yes, against all odds that make it seem impossible to complete all my tasks, with God and great help and support from friends and loved ones, I can do all things!!!

Against all odds!

Love the night breeze. The cool breeze. Cannot do without it!
Ah boy drove us out for supper, and we went for spins around the Bt Timah area and relived our ACS/SCGS days.
Went to look at the beautiful houses and all.
Time to sleep now.
Thank God for breeze again.

From 5 pm till 8 plus pm, Emily and I walked and talked! We had ice cream while we walked to CCK ... And it was so cold because of the rain :) Enjoyed chatting and sharing with her!

We talked about friendships, relationships and ended off talking about love languages.

It's funny that I'm surrounded by people with "physical touch" as their primary love language, when I am totally NOT a physical touch kinda person! I enjoy "patting" the shoulders of my younger members but I don't enjoy being touched! Ha ha ...

I used to be a primarily "words of affirmation" person. And then I became a "quality time" person for the past years till now.

Well :)

Was walking with Kel to the cab stand (he was going off to work) and was telling him how I miss and crave for my soul time---those alone moments when I can put aside work and everything else, just to get some breeze or to revel in nature's beauty and wonders, and rejuvenate! Every Monday, I'm still doing some form of work. I would love to disassociate myself with work but I can't.

Soul times are much needed by me. I know myself. If there is too much noise, too many people around me always, I will go crazy. I am okay with time with a precious few. Occasionally, a group. But usually, I cannot stand being too surrounded by noise and crowds. I love being alone.

And this reminds me of the conversation with Andreas Skogvard (oh yeah, gotta message Marie soon. Love this couple since my SOT days!). Andreas and I were talking about "observing rest" and purposefully cutting off from the stress of work on Mondays. But in this culture, its almost not possible. We are still trying to attain that.

Anyways, am on a massage chair and getting my pedi done. (Got the package donkey months and months back!)

Search me, and try me.
Know me.
If there be any wicked way found in me, deal with that.
Search me.

Thinking about the story of the 10 lepers.
Only one remembered to return to give thanks.
I want to always be that one.

Had a wonderful Sunday thus far! Had lunch with Gracie ... And we were blessed by Joel! He like a mighty man got for me my much craved for lontong, and got for Gracie KFC. Caught up with my good galpal while Pastor preached at Service 4. And dear Gracie blessed me with a book about Solitude, knowing that I love solitude and it's a good book that's timely, in the midst of my busyness :) her sweet message inside made me smile!

Just went with Pastor to the airport. All's good. And he gets to see his family soon! Yay!

It's wonderful too, because I'm on my way for Cell Group!

Don't think I'm that strong ... To "you", a certain you ...
I think you're a very courageous and brave girl.
I wouldn't know how to cope with loss the way you did so well.
Memories live on ... cherish those precious memories you've had with her, because one day, I'm sure you will see her again :)
You are so brave. I am awed.



To live with the touch of Your hand ... stronger each day.



Pastor preached a great message today.
Got to meditate on it.
Meanwhile, I need to sleep ... super tired after 17 straight hours of working!!!
Woooooooooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

One of my favourite and respected women in church has got to be PTYP's wife, and my former HOD (when I first started working in church) ... Jacq.

Jacq is the most humble, unassuming, gentle and pastoral lady I know.

One of my most memorable moments on staff, is still the time I worked under Jacq's leadership. She had a way of being gentle at all times. And when she did correct or rebuke, it's never in a way that makes you feel totally lousy. It's hard to describe. But I loved every moment working under her leadership. The atmosphere was very special. When she left church office to be a full-time mother, I actually cried ... ha ha.

She has a very beautiful spirit, and it was once my prayer that I get to serve her as a P.A. even! Well, that dream didn't come true.

But in retrospect, my dream came true in a different and higher form ... it's beyond words and beyond me to describe or even pen down. GOD does above always.

And I still get to serve her in little ways. And even though she's way above me, she "asks" me for help in the most unassuming and non-condescending manner. It makes me embarassed even. I mean, she has every right to "command" me even, actually! Yet, she doesn't.

God bless such a wonderful lady ...

On the contrary, there are people whom I see around who are rude, who get things done well and quickly, but unfortunately, have absolutely no EQ.

I hope to be someone like Jacq is.

(pink colour for this post suits this post most ...)

My favourite day of the week is Sunday.
Because I get to be at church, and then be with the Cell Group ... And if nothing "interrupts", I get to spend good family/personal time and sleep!

Looking forward to pastor's message!
