time seem to be running faster today. much faster.
pretty soon i'll be at watchnight counting down to 2005...
it's pretty amazing.i'm still amazed at God's power.
sumartra is like so near singapore and we never got hit by the tsunami?! wow.
really, God's mighty hand is upon us.
when i saw the news yesterday, how sumartra look like now, after this big disaster... well, stunned is an understatment. there's holes everywhere... and they need water... cash... and the basic necessities.. how are the ppl going to survive??
still, i'm touched by those to volunteered to save these ppl. God bless them.'
nations that took SO MANY years to build... were destroyed by 10 minutes of disaster.
then there's the importance to bring souls in for his glory. the end is coming...
yest i was chatting with some1 from my camp tribe... i was telling her... "stupid tsunami". and guess what. she replied... "it's not stupid... as you can see it alr killed so many ppl." wow... nice answer eh. heh.
; how blessed are we. =)

hmms. last night's entry was pretty sad eh. cuz i was super pissed off by my folks.
and so anyway... here's the super long post.
lol. there, i warned you. ;)
presenting.... BOXING DAY! (christmas for me was terribly boring...)
cellgroup... hmms... i had to 'lead worship'. :x couldnt my cgls pick a better time... hahaha.... i was coughing lei... voice not very good. so anyway it went quite well... considering it was last min. lol.
then was GAMES... polar bear! and the splat game. haha.. charrrrityyy and linndaa came to join us. and ya.. there was munching.. and we had about 5 min to be still and thank God for this holiday... after all.. without christ.. what is christmas?
ushering was pretty fast. about 30min and POOF! speedlight ended and i was with my cg on the bus. HAHA... we sabo-ed alvin tay do the camp rap... since the bus is all p6 and sec 1.. most of us know the camp rap.. so funny.
and oh... soon we reached woody! the drama was... not really good lah... christmas bet is better.. seriously i was about to go lala land... and my mom WENT to lala land. haha.. but the fortune teller part funny lah...
after the drama... went for dinnerr with louisa.. cindy... dion? lingquan and i think his name is wei qiang. it was a pretty lame dinner, with every1 cracking lame jokes. lol. after dinner we walked to the mrt... actually i can take 965 home direct... but louisa stay in punggol.. and dun really know the way... and so we took mrt. and cindy insisted that every1 take mrt tog. LOL... poor leaders and cg guys... they took to raffles place and transfer to tamp... while me and louisa transfer earlier at dhoby ghaut... killer trip lor... but they are still surviving. =p
monday and tuesday... PACKING... shall not dwell on it... mom keep nagging lah.
yesterday i fell sick big time. fever, cough, flu wadever. and the darned cramp. now feeling kinda better lah. =))
my goodness... when i saw the news on monday... about the tsunami and the quake... manx. 9.0 on the ritcher scale!! and now more then 80 000 ppl died... who in that number know christ? very little lei. funny isnt it... cuz the countries hit are deep in idol worship... and how blessed singapore is... God's mighty hand is upon us! =D
end times are coming.. the countdown is running...
no wonder the bible says that the sea is evil... in revealation it says that the New Jerusalem will not haf any seas...
are we ready for the end timeS? honestly i can say i'm NOT... but it's time to get reaching out and get ppl into His Kingdom...
on monday i had an 'experience' which really made me think and reflect..
*doorbell rings endlessly, with ppl shouting MERRY CHRISTMAS!*
dad opens door to see two ppl selling WALLS icecream. (they're guys)
guys: hello uncle! merry christmas! would you like some icecream?
dad: erh, no... we bought some from the icecream man downstairs alr.
guys: aiyah... dont bluff lah..
dad: -gets angry- bluff what bluff?! dun want means dun want... -sacarstic- GOOD NIGHT! -slams door-
i was right beside him at that time. and thinking
is shouting the solution to evt?
wad if... the wooden cross was hanging on the door, instead of the christmas thingy?
it wouldnt seriously, reflect well on God.
but at the same time.
how about our actions in everyday life.
do we actually show christ in us?
2005. got lots of resolutions... but whats the use if i cant keep to it. i'm looking forward and at the same time dreading the year ahead. it's coming real fast. and soon... it'll be the time of the year when we are counting down to 2006.
even after psle i realised i need God badly... i need his empowerment. for today, for the future. for 2005. tho it's a 'honeymoon year'.... but i've a feeling it's going to be hectic. sigh. i'm tired Lord... i'm tired. renew me... even tho i'm tired... but i thank you Lord... for always being there for me. i need you...
and hah, congratulations to you, for reading thus far. =)

speedlight camp 2004,
shout it out with a great big roar!
whee..
todays postingg results was great. thank God. i got my 1st choice!! presbyterian highh... here i comee... =D
reflections on camp...
1. you will never walk alone.
2. carry him with you and there's no reason to be frightened.
3. God sees the heart of worship... when you worship you dun need to care about your surroundings. just worship him.
4. when there is no one to disciple you, you cant be the best you can be.
5. you can choose whether you want to walk alone or not.
6. God is always there no matter what happens.
CHRISTMAS IS COMING SO FAST!!

1 Timothy 4:12-16
12 Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
13 Until i come, devote yourself to public reading of scripture, to preaching and to teaching.
14 Do not neglect your gift, which was given to you through a prophetic message when the body of elders laid their hands on you.
15 be diligent in these matters; give yourself to him so that everyone may see your progress
16 watch your life and doctrine closely. perservere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.
these 4 verses spoke to me. i mean... i heard of verse 12 b4 but never read on. as i read, i tot of my age. my calling. my purpose. and what God had called to me do. am i too young? no. tho some ppl may put me down, i shud not be swayed. God has told me to usher. he has put me in this ministry. i will give my utmost for his highest. =)

[[TUESDAY - 30 november]]
i decided to use my sister's ezlink for convinience sake. [["agianst the law"]] guess what.. the pass checker came up to the bus!! i havent seen checkers for a long time le lor... so swey! but i was like... "God!! let the person pass me...!!" and heng, the bus very crowded... so i think he never see me. and i was LATE to meet cindy!! she, alvin and cheney were waiting for me in macs..haha.. then we went to long john and met amanda, eunice and alena. they let us their table and went to do last min shopping.. we ate, then oso went VERY last min shopping. and we were late to meet the ushers!!
so anyway, we waited for some more ushers, and took 29 to the chalet. the bus was so noisy. hahaha... then about 30min later... we alighted the bus. couldnt find the chalet and we walked to and fro! finally we called alicia and she came to find us. actually, we took one extra stop, thats why cannot find! and wow, the chalet was very private and very nice. sea view. hah. then we prayed over the house.. we were divided into groups lah. my group got chloe, cindy, kin onn, jerome and jacq. we had a very short session of PnW, and played an icebreaker called the blanket game. it was so funny lah.. and had a "reflection" activity called 1st things 1st. then was shower and dinner... the queue was so long, cuz only one toilet of gals and 1 toilet for guys. esp gals... so many!! dinner.. blahblah... after dinner was the mini service! it was so solid. the PnW, and then pacer preached about emptation, serving God and running the race. then every1 got to their knees and prayed... seeked God... and then another short session of PnW..
service finish liao, was free time. toilet madness!! and allocation of rooms... gals two rooms.. one upstairs and one downstairs. guys one room. i was downstairs with destruction woman [[chermaine]], alena, amanda, eunice, joyce and michelle. cindy, mandy, chloe and natalie was upstairs.. ldrs in the living room. the upstairs room got sink in the cupboard. so cool! haha...
okay. we were supposed to be sleeping.. but some of us were hungryy... so we went to kitchen see got food anot.. ldrs having meeting.. blah... sleep!! (cheney was I/C for the day, he was so auntie, so lorsor!!)
[[WEDNESDAY - 1 december]]
the ldrs came to shower when we were sleeping... i saw jacq, vin and i think alicia... mainey woke up at 5am, to see the sunrise. i was woken up by her spastic laughing at 5.30am!!! -.-"" aiyooo... then evantually the whole room woke up.. some tiptoed to the living room.. the ldrs were sleeping on the floor, sofas and table.. then some showered. aiyo! the drainage system is so lousy. the toilet flood! (there was NO sunrise, btw) 7.30am... 5BX.. led by alvin tay. sigh. made us run ard lah... i cannot run. no stamina sehx.. we had personal and group devotion... then breakfast. after breakfast, games. the 1st game still okay. we had to act whats on the paper.. and the others guess. the 2nd game was exspararating. each group had to make the longest line with whatever they had at that point of time. we laid our shoes... and kin onn made everyone lie in the grass! the worst thing - HE BROKE MY ONLY HAIRBAND!!!! whahahaz... i was so 'angry' and so he promised me a hairband by the end of the day. anyway quite stupid lah. bend the hairband for wad?! okay. so we din win. >.< i had to tie my hair in a hairstyle and the ushers found it so cute. -.-" next was another game. we had to pass the ball ard.. cannot pass to someone that has already taken the ball. then, after every1 got the ball, we had to repeat the exact cycle. FASTER. haha... we came up with a good strategy and passed the ball in 7secs!!
then was sharing by alvin and cindy. they were wearing formal.. sharing their testimonials... blah.. good sharing. =)
lunch was quite nice.. and we started playing lame games. very lame ones!!!
here's the fun part. WATER GAME! whahaahx... everyone got soaked. alvin poured two pails on me and cindy, then kin onn poured one on me. :S hahaha... so fun sia! after that the ldrs passed us black thin trash bags. like the umbrella that kind. we had to blindfold ourself.. and totally depend on the ldrs, or we'll stumble. they led us to the grassy patch area barefoot.. the bbq pit there.. we arent supposed to tell other ppl what we felt or experienced. one by one.. the ldrs washed our right foot. so tickly! every1 done liao, we had to wash a person's left foot. it was supposed to remind us of servanthood, and how Jesus washed his deciples feet. FINALLY, we went back into the house and changed clothes.
alicia set up the laptop... we had to watch the cat and dog theology thingy. i think most of us were half asleep. heh. i was drifting in and out of sleep like in exams. -.-
then bbq! we had abit of free time cuz some ppl were starting the fire etc. wayne was so zhun... came right when we finished bbq-ing the 1st few sticks of meat! >.<>
this is one of the most memorable things of this retreat - the candle game. not exactly a game... but it's written... "the candle game" so fine.haha. everyone had a lighted candle.. it was completely dark... no lights.. doors and windows are closed. then vinnie spoke... talked seriously.. made us reflect. why did we join this ministry? and blew out our candles one by one. then she lighted a big candle in the center of the room. that candle represented God. every1 then made a promise to God and self.. 'rededicated' themselves to the ministry and to God. after that we viewed a movie by vinnie! it was soooo cool and nice. it was then about 11.30pm.. free time. 12am there was a prayer cum PnW session.. many were half dead.. including me lah... but God's presence was there. 1.30am++ we wrapped up and some ppl started playing sparklers... so smoky!! i was in the kitchen... then wayne came tempting me with the banana. -.-""" cuz on sunday GM, one of the ldrs said if we are the type who will feel hungry in the middle of the night.. then bring sth to eat. and i told wayne earlier that i eat bananas for breakfast on sundays most of the time. and so he said..."and right, muz rem to bring lots of bananas cuz sheryl likes to eat banana!!" >.<>
