Personal Retreat before Mission Trip!

Personal Retreat before Mission Trip!
First off i really wanna THANK everyone that have been praying for my current situation. I'm extremely grateful for your prayers! Anyway just to update you guys... i met up with my course manager again today, and he read my letter. And he said he will try to help me drop those 2 modules as he talked to the academic advisor abt this. So i really wanna THANK GOD!!!! I feel much more comforted now, but still wld like u guys to pray for me that the academic advisor will officially allow me to drop these modules. THANKS my FAITHFUL READERS!!!

Anyway today our mission team had our last meeting before we set off on monday, we had a really good solid time of personal treat and reflecting back as we prepared our hearts for the trip.
ANYWAY i will be away from FRIDAY to SUNDAY for the DESIGN ORIENTATION TRAINING CAMP!!!! Really hope i can make to church on sunday still! =)

(My final assignment for drawing fundamentals, we had to draw a distorted self portrait of ourself. I used Chalk pastels on this hard board and I messed up the entire floor after doing this drawing)

(My foot prints were from the computer table where i was doing that chalk drawing until the toilet, thats how dirty the floor and that area was bcoz of that messy chalk!)

Urgent Prayer Request!

Urgent Prayer Request!
i really need to share this with u guys...only yesterday, i received a very last minute email telling us that we will still be having classes in the next block which is next week. And as you know i have a mission trip in only 4 days time and all this complications and obstacles are coming in.... So i met up with my course manager yesterday and he actually persuaded me if i can not go for this trip.... but i can still possibly drop this modules if i write a letter to the academic advisor with my parents approval which i am going to do i later at abt 2 plus pm as i pass the letter to him. But the chances of my letter being accepted is quite slim as Tp campus crusade is not recognised. And if my letter is not approved to drop this modules for that block, i automatically fail those modules if i don't attend and a lot of other complications may occur later like my GPA will be greatly affected and if its bad enough it may also result in me graduating 6 mths later. So i really need your prayers as i pass my letter to the academic advisor later on, that he will allow me to drop those modules thus i will be able to go for this mission trip. Now i really need a miracle to trust and have FAITH in God in this situation!

I really l like to THANK everyone who has been praying for me in this current situation, namley nicole,irene,eng lee,andrew,sandy,eunice,my entire mission team, my small grp members and most of my parents. I really appreciate your prayers! THANKS GUYS! =D

I did my QT just now..and below was the verse for today! God really spoke to me so directly!
"Faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. Romans 10:17"

Catching up with my old friend!

Catching up with my old friend!

(For drawing fundamental class we had to watch this black and white classic film! The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945)... its abt this guy who sold his life to the painting of himself, bcoz he wanted to stay young forever like the painting, but overtime, as he did unpleasant things, the painting of himself started to get disfigured... actually.. i didnt get the entire movie, infact i barely understand a single sentence bcoz their accent was sooooo strong. My lecturer was the one that told us the gist of this movie)

Met up with my long time old good friend nicholas lim for dinner at CHOMP CHOMP! Didnt see him for more than a year oready. So it was good catching up! He's still the same old CRAPPING CORRUPT friend from secondary school days when he used to seat next to me in class lor...and till today,all kind of craps come out from his mouth. Ate the delicious chili Stingray and the famous chwee kueh!!!!! was sooo full in the end lor bcoz he didnt finish his food so i had to eat his share! After that...we wallk till this dark deserted park in serangoon gardens and we slacked at the swings there and talk! the stuff he talk was just purely crap lor! won't go in the details of it..)

(This was actually a pic of nick falling down from the swing)
I noticed that 2 of my friends whose names are nic have CORRUPT minds and are CRAPPERS lor! and their birthdays are at the end of may! so coincidence rite! 2 nic with the same personality! and bdays one after another! heee! ....just testing out if ppl will notice this small font...

KITE FLYING DAY!!!!!

KITE FLYING DAY!!!!!
Today for our last creative thinking class! we had to go marina south to fly our kite!!! And i'm sooo happy that my kite could fly really high! Infat my kite was the only one there that cld fly the best, while the rest cldnt get their kite to fly much and some cldnt even fly at all. Yippeeee!
One module is FINISHED!!!!! One more left to go!
After that.. met irene and joelle at city hall mrt station before heading to a macs nearby and we had a real solid time of planning for our TP campus crusade ministry for the recruitment next term. And it was a very fruitful discussion without any breaks! abt 4-5 hrs straight!!!! Was really tired after the plannnig session! My brain juice were well drained!
From tmr onwards can wake up lateeee! YAY!!!!!!


(My kite flying high!!!!)

(My lecturer friend was a kite expert...thats his complex kite which was sail boat shape!)

(Nasrul and Azli kite.... it proof that fish cant fly..bcoz their kite didnt work in the end, sad sad.)

X-TRAINER MARCH EVENT!!! GO FISH! AMAZING RACE IN ORCHARD!!!

X-TRAINER MARCH EVENT!!! GO FISH! AMAZING RACE IN ORCHARD!!!
Today we had our long awaited march event! Our station was to play the game GO FISH at youth park, stacy,steph,hans and me were tending to that station, and its actually quite tiring handling sooo many small grps at once lor.... And to be honest... i feel bad not really putting much more effort to help kenneth with this event, bcoz was really busy with school work this mth...and stacy like did most of the planning for our station at youth park also lor... and i actually believed this event cld be even much moreee fun if it was organise with more interesting station games..... i find the games actually quite boring le... bcoz we basically just ask each station master to come out with their own games...and we sld have actually come together and really discuss how we can make the games better.BUT overall, most of the leaders i heard,said their grps really enjoyed the overall event...thats good to hear! ...although i heard one or two grps who find it kinda abit sian... bcoz maybe the grps were too huge or the games were just quite dull... and the clues to solving the missing person cld actually be improved sooo much more lor and maybe a twist in the whole event cld give the icing on the cake. (i'm actually like thinking back of the combined ministry retreat nite games last year where it was a total SUCCESS!! really miss that time....haizzz)
Anyway THANKS nicole,glenda and jolyn for my birthday card advance!!!! And i have to like bring nicole gift all the way to my mission trip in Selangor and open it only on 31 march lor! Normally when i receive gifts i will opened it immediately... but oh well...have to resist! 12 more days anyway.......
After playing BANG with the usual BANGERS! at plaza sing foodcourt... i had to rush of to meet wen hao...and FINALLY in a loooooooong time can go gym with him again! but lifting weights seem sooo much harder this time after not gymming in like a mth! and my left arm like suddenly nooo strength lor! cant believed the jab i got on that arm still affecting it...... anyway just spent the entire nite working on my IRRITATING KITE!!!!!! First cannot fly on friday..DEN NOW! My kite didnt want to get painted on! Had to like go over it sooo many times before the paint cld stick! But too lazy and tired to further design it oready......so it look a bit like a plain old ordinary kite! sighh... but can fly can oready la! THATS the most important thing....
WElll....its one more week before i set off for my mission trip to Selangor! And i'm still not physically and spiritually prepared....


(My final kite design..seems quite ordinary to me...but hopefully it can still fly after painting on it)

(The test run last friday... We had to do it indoor lor, bcoz it was raining... BUT THE KITE CLDNT FLY!!! Was soo pissed at my kite that day lor!)

(Saw this at plaza sing foodcourt today! AND I ONLY THOUGHT u can see such stuff on TV...didnt noe some ppl really leave tissue paper to book table!...but we didnt care, so kevin just took the tissue paper for himself and we sat at that table.)

MUSIC AND LYRICS!!!!One pretty good movie!!!!

This movie was abt this guy called Alex Fletcher acted by huge grant and Sophie Fisher acted by drew barrymore... they 2 came out with this really wonderful compose song! and its quite a nicee song lor!!! Especially when he compose one specially for sophie at the end of the movie..and it was quite funny at times also! I tink we two were like the only mad ones in the whole theatre laughing at almost every scene lor... Especially the 2 ALIENS soft toy that he bought, that LOOK like cabbage head lor..reminded me of the ALIEN PLANTS!!! and er...erhmmm by the moonside! Heee =P ..well can give this movie 4/5 starsssss! NEXT ME WANNA WATCH STOMP THE YARD!!! ..and hopefully 300!! Better find another day before my design orientation training camp and mission trip!!! and i'm gonna miss 2 YM SUNDAYS and 3 YM Gaps!!!!So sad lor!!!!!!!

FINAL nite of IGNITE Conference 2007 is too AWESOME oready!!!!!!!!

FINAL nite of IGNITE Conference 2007 is too AWESOME oready!!!!!!!!
Today's IGNITE is something i will never forget in yearsssssss!The worship was just fantastic! I was quite tired to go to the front today..so stand in the chairs with bevan,chin hui,guang hao,josh,jolyn and stacy..and from the back i cld see......everyone was DEEP and LOST in worship
and i just prayed and prayed that wesley well see REVIVAL!!!!! Imagine how great it wld be if ymers will have this same PASSION for God like what i saw today.
this time my favourite speaker Glen Berteau aka "BOOM BOOM" spoke again...and i gotta say his message is as SOLID as ever!!!!!!!!! the way he acted out his sermon to convey his message across really got my full attention! Suddenly...halfway thru his sermon... we were reading on Acts...and he suddenly STOP! and he said.... something like this...anyone can receive the HOLY SPIRIT right now! RIGHT where you are seating in your chairs...without any altar call, without any music in the background... BUT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!! It was quite a random change suddenly! He just felt that ... he sld let them noe this now.... well..... so he told the ppl... if anyone out there...who has never been filled with the Holy Spirit and want to receive it, to speak in tongues etc....to raise their hands at their seats! AND its still only at the starting part of his sermon when he said this.... And i noticed immediately that my whole row of us wesley ym..eveyone raised their hands, He later told this ppl who raised their hands to stand up... so the pastors around cld pray for them to receive this gift of speaking in tongues.... there wasnt many... just like cluster of ppl here and there in the hall... i guess bcoz most of the churches at Ignite were pentacostal charismatic churches and most ppl around already had the gift of tongues.... anyway when the wesley ym ppl were being prayed for.... i just sat next to them... and immediately... i began speaking in tongues like i never before... the last time i felt this led by the spirit was at my last YM leaders retreat when i got this gift... and i cld tell for REAL this time..that it was reallly really really... led by the HOLY SPIRIT... as to be honest...in a methodist setting, I tend to hold back most of the time...and sometimes i actually have some doubts if what i'm saying is real....although i still practice it once in awhile... only at this conference was where i got the chance to use it more.... i just felt sooo FREEE and able to let go and just speak it to the Lord! and its quite an edifying experience to show how and expressed that intimacy with Jesus Christ.... after that..i dunno if chin hui,guanghao,josh,jolyn and stacy if they got the gifts of tongues...but i guess its still quite an experience for them...
anyway after this short sudden change in plans..he continued his sermon again... anyway the main gist of the sermon is FED UP! FILLED UP! AND FIRED UP!!!!!!! and thats like the steps...to reach FIRED UP!!!!!!! and indeed at the end...from fed up...to filled up... we ALL GOT FIRED UP!!!!!!!!
During altar call time...He told all those pastors and youth leaders in that church.. to go to the front...and he prayed for eveyone of them... and from the back i cld see most of them got slained immediately.. I really cld see the power of God working thru him! He went on stage...and also slain the 2 main pastors who organise this event... and infront of everyone i cld see them falling suddenly!... for the second pastor... i cld see he was telling him and showing him to look around at all those hands lifted up worshipping God so passionatey in this IGNITE..and suddenly! its seem as though he just got KNOCKED out and he fell to the ground while Pastor Berteau was talkin to him. After that..he told all those pastors and leaders to pray for the entire ppl at ignite.... and immediately...youths around were all getting slained too... but most of us werent prayed for...bcoz it was just too BIG to finish praying for eveyone... but anway.... right after that...we HAD A LOOOOOONG time of praised and worship!!!
We sang like all those classic hillsong OLDIES!!! From open up the gates of heaven to ONE WAY!!!, to KING of MAJESTY to TELL THE WORLD and ending off with TAKE IT ALL!!! I never felt soooooo HIGH ever since FUSION 2007!!!! It was like jumping non stop!!!!!!!! and sooo free to let it all go!!!! What an EXPERIENCE!!!!! WHAT A NITE!!!!!!!! This last nite is THE BOMB!!!!!! Now i really hope those few wesley ymers who went will spread this IGNITED fire in us to the whole of YM!!! and one DAY WESLEY YM will SEE REVIVAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAAAAAAAAA!


(nicole,jolyn and me before ignite conference on sunday)


(I took this picture during last part of the conference.... it was an amazing sight to see all those FIRED UP YOUTHS!!!!)

IGNITE Conference 2007! 11-13 march !!!!

IGNITE Conference 2007! 11-13 march !!!!

Day 1 Sunday

Wesley Ym really is quite in bad shape right now... first of all, my leader was sharing abt how it was so lifeless when he was standing at the back of the ballroom during worship..and its quite truee lor... i mean i cld sense it even at the front.... so next time, maybe our grp sld stand like at the back and worship God! and hopefully the younger ones at the back will know how to really worship God when they see us.... And my small grp is kind off in a bad shape right now...was discussing it with Englee and ellen abt it only recently... and was also talking to soe after small grp that day..and we all really agree that... spliting is inevitable...BUT at the same time..how do we split? Our grp is just too huge right now..and bcoz of this it might cause ppl to drop out in the future.. we cant have a good sharing or discussion now and what we said at the last retreat on how our grp sld grow more spiritually this time,will be quite hard for us to reach... and the bonding will be hard too. And as an aysgl...i actually felt quite draining during and after small grp time recently... i always feel obligated to entertain newcomers...and sometimes i just want a break on sundays to be with my friends... I really need God's guidance and wisdom to guide us on how we really sld grow as God's Clay small grp in the future... sighhh.....

After that was the X-trainers Initiation!!!! it was all the way at Sen's parents house deep inside binjai park in the west of singapore which we took like 20 mins just to walk in.... ben yap steph and me were suppose to do the icebreakers!!!! We were like the Ben Steph Ben team! aka backstreet boys! haha! we also ate really weird pizzas bought by sen! it was JAPANESE pizzass! Like wasabi, seaweeds and jap stuff! but was quite niceee... we played all kind of interesting games with the new x-trainers... the mind reading game was pretty interesting!!!! anyway after that rush back to church after getting a ride from steph mom... met josh,jolyn there at the children's ministry and it really brought back really old memoriesss when i was there...the kids were all soo TINY lor!!!! I doubt there was like any pri 6 children... anyway at first i was suppose to go changi aiport to send a couple of crusaders off for mission trip...but i change at the last min to come for ignite.... met up at kembangen with nicole,andrew,jo and kexin as Gladwin drove us there in his van.... worship was good! and the speaker was the best part! can't remember that pastor name... onli rmb him as "BOOM BOOM" thats his nick name when he was given during his professional football days in America... he shared his life testimony...... and he really made it very very FUNNNY LOR!!!!! I was like laughing thru out his whole sharing!!! and was pretty much entertain!!!!! I gotta say... i have never laugh sooooooo much by a particular speaker in my life!!!!!!!!!! Thats how good he was!!!!

Day2 monday

I didnt expect to go for the second ignite nite service..bcoz i had like tons of work to finish and submission was the next day...and i was suppose to help with kenneth and andrew with the march event video too...bcoz kenneth didnt want to be alone with andrew ahhaha!...anyway yewjin came for it this time too.... and the whole time even until late evening i was still contemplating if i sld go lor! and even if i go..i go for which.... and on msn..ppl were trying to drag me for ignite..and at the other side..kenneth trying to drag me to help them.... sooo like at 5.50 pm!!! i decide to go for ignite...and i rushed like some superman..... stop my work! and rushhh all the way to bedok.... to meet steph,matthias,josh,jolyn and denise...and after a quick dinner at bedok we took bus 222 and realise halfway we were on the WRONG SIDE!!!! it went oneeee BIG ROUND!!!!! and back to bedok interchange before reaching there .... a 10 min ride becoming 20-30 mins!!! Oh gosh...we were late oready..and still cld take the wrong side.... but strangely we reached just in time! the message was abt Seismic release of the Holy spirit...and it was like abt the different "earthquakes" that occured in the bible.... wont go into the details...but to be honest..i was trying to keep up with this pastor..he was like rapping lor! LOL..he spoke quite fast..and his accent...was abit hard to catch.... anyway after the message...the ministry time was reallllllllly looooooong! and it was extremely charismatic.... i was okay with it bcoz i have seen worst before... but.... i felt that the wesley ymers around me were kinda feeling a little uneasy.... we like sang the Fire fire fall down song without music for like 20 mins straight...and it was really like pure worship without music.... overall..it was rather interesting...... anyway had to rush back after that bcoz i had to submit my graphic art on sounds!!! in the end spend another sleepless nite till abt 5 am! and had to wake up 2 hrs later to go school...

.

(the graphic art on sound i spend the entire nite doing on photoshop...and my lecturer kinda like it!!! PHEW!!! i didnt waste my niteee)

FANTASIA 2000!!!!

FANTASIA 2000!!!!
Thats wad we watch for creatve thinking class after submission !!! I didn't really like this kind of no voice but just sound and music disney cartoons in the past.. but after exposing so much with design stuff...I nd to see things in a different way now...and its actually quite an inspiring video and something which i guess i can appreciate now... Now over the weekend i'm suppose to come out with 4 graphic drawings that represent sounds.....
Ym Gap was kinda different for me yesterday bcoz all the people i used to pray with cldnt come...but at least its good to pray with new ppl...

(We watch cartooons!!!! cool right!! thats a clip of the Disney movie FANTASIA 2000! It was quite refreshing to watch it...quite funny at parts and quite a creativeee movie, the way the used of colours and how the sound and music changes according to the animation was AWESOME!!!!)

(Tried the prata at the mensa canteen for lunch...ITS AWESOME!!! havent eaten this good prata in a looooooong time.... but i FOUND THIS SHORT HAIR in it later! eeeeeeeee! but it was still nicee la, although my appetite was kinda gone after that)

(i did this collage with all kinds of rubbish for my drawing fundamental class... we had to play plasticine and other weird random stuff like straws, sticks, paper, foil! coool rite!)

(We got FREEE CHEESE CAKESSSS courtesy of Carl's Junior during supper there after Gap! It was quite delicious!!!!!)

FINALLY Finish my Creative Thinking Assignment 2!!! What a looooooooong nite!

So had to rush finish my abstract art of my butterfly... and finally i'm doneeeeeee! It like 4.05 am now! And i have to wake up in 3 hrs time.... Zzzzzzz......


(The different styles of my butterfly... from Detailed to, Expressive, to typography and the last one..the abstract art which i use colour pencil and photoshop to touch up on it)

(This is what i did in drawing fundamentals today...this 3 were done using a felt pen...first piece is done in hatching method, second by dotting....which TOOK ME LIKE FOREVER to finish! Its like more than JIU BAI JIU SHI JIU X 1000000 dots lor!..my hand became like some dotting machine in the end.....the last one is using squibbles...)

The Bedok Reservoir Treesss!!!!!

The Bedok Reservoir Treesss!!!!!
Today Drawing Fundamental class was pretty fun...bcoz we got the chance to do our drawing outside of class... our lecturer suggested we went to look for this very unique trees opposite bedok reservoir...which was like 30-40 mins walk lor! Just to get to the hill at the other end!!!! Thats what designers has to do to get the best pictures!

After that... rush to bedok interchange from there and took a looooooooooong and actually quite enjoyable cooling bus 30 ride to pasir panjang area at the GCTC for our Tp campus crusade ST meeting... Manage to used the FREE complimentary bus ticket for this long ride! The one I got from the bus 23 that broke down not to long ago... Coincidently bump into Daniel at harbourfront bus stop and onli one stop later we den bump into RP crusader banarbas who all boarded the same bus... SUCH A SMALL WORLD lor..... anyway today TP crusade ministry evaluation was quite an intense session... we really got deep down into the matter, and we talk abt how... for us to grow even more..our hearts must be right with God first... and i so agreee with it!

(Some shots of the nice greenery while walking along side bedok reservoir, thats the Tropical Condo in the background where nicole stays)

(AFTER WALKING LIKE 30-40 mins! We reach the opposite side of the reservoir... you can see TP across the reservoir)

(The Tree that i chose to draw....)

(We used black ink with brushes to draw this..so far this exercise is the one I ENJOYED the most bcoz it was purely expressive and i was so relax doing this... sitting by the cool patch of grass drawing this....SOOO FUN!!! )

(Kenneth,Gifford and Joseph all hard at work paiting their trees)

EGGSSSS AND BUTTERFLIESSSS

EGGSSSS AND BUTTERFLIESSSS
Today as usual have to go school early for consultation for creative thinking..and I actually left my hse pretty late lor but was quite fortunate to reach school in abt 20 mins! THATS A RECORD TIME man! So happen all the buses came on the right time....and i just needed to run across 2 roads to catch the bus 23!!!! Creative thinking consultation started off kinda bad...bcoz ALL my ideas were rejected but after that.... it was smooth sailing!!!! and my ideas were finally accepted!(pics below)

Anyway we draw and painted eggs for my dawing fundamental class!!! and talking abt eggs....

(imagine this......WARNING SOME NOT SO NICE USAGE OF WORDS HERE.....so STOP and dun read it if you are sensitive to them....... One day those chicken eggs hatch into butterflies then 2 plants by the roadside was having xxx, while alien plants were humping by the moonside with the galaxy,stars and milky way at the horizon...den after that come out jiu bai jiu shi baby "she langS".... and those "she langS" were banging each other non stop and spoke chinese, so jiu shi jiu she langS decided to use double protection... and the "SHE LANGs" lives happily ever after in the milky way of cookies and cream!) (That was just a totally random corrupt story i came out with today! bcoz wo bei nicole ying xiang dao le! hahah!......it was purely JIU BAI JIU SHI JIU LOADS OF RUBBISH!!!! So u can ignored it!)

(The eggs i painted!!!!!!!... my lecturer told us we can eat our egsss after that lor! I was like OH GOSH!!!! NO WAY!!!!)

YM GAMES Fellowship!!! THE BANGERS!!!!

YM GAMES Fellowship!!!.... THE BANGERS!!!!
today went church pretty early... first to pass the Teaser video to the video crew.... and then had the first official GAP on sunday before service at the room opposite the ballroom... worship was actually pretty goood! And they sang my FAVOURITE SONG... THE STAND!!!!! Loveee that song man! It really change the atmosphere in the ballroom! after worship...was the teaser video we had been working on..and there was so much anticipation on it lor! But it was kinda an anti climax in the end! for the 930 service!! DANG!!! sldnt have change nicole scream to that weird low siren "scream"! But it was so hilarious in the video room that time lor!!! anyway 1130 service we made sure the video ppl off the lights in the ballroom...so that we can actually set the mood rite for the video to reach its full potential! It was much better this time...got a few laughs in the crowd! bcoz it wasnt really a "scream".... oh well.... anyway we had our regular YM GAMES fellowship after church!!!! this time... nicole,jolyn,wanping,stacy,bevan and andrew came! With all those different ministries coming together to have this kind of fellowship is good for unity in ym! heee.... and as usual our BANG! day was as corrupt as before... this were some stuff that happen.... first andrew said this "i need to go get my "boobs"...he actually meant books, but dunno why most of us heard other wise.... and then... stacy kept saying HUMP HUMP HUMP to herself for no particular reason.... and i was like giggling and wondering to myself why she was saying that lor! And i notice nicole started laughing too... So at least i wasnt the onli one thinking "corruptedly"....was SO FUNNY LOR!!!! and stacy didnt even realise why and wad she was saying at first!!!.... and the other usual corrupt comments occured... like ppl wanting to bang each other! some got protection! some got double protection!!!! ...and wanping won as a RENEGADE!!! shes the first person i ever saw out of so many games i played winning the game in this role lor!!!... anyway as usual we really had a fun time!!!!!

I accidently walk to this deserted back alley where there were this 2 indian man there... and i immediately u-turn back..... anyway... the match against liverpool was quite exciting!!! actually man utd sld have a penalty also lor! and it cld be 2-0! but gotta say... liverpool was the better team... only man utd... had the better defence! Van der sar rocks lor! SAVED man utd!!!! and jut needed a 91 min O'shea goal to seal the victory!!! 12 points lead now!!!YAY!!! after that...went for supper at some nearby prata place as josh join us also.... and gd thing he got car to drive me all they way back after that! bcoz no more buses oready!

Today just had submission of our creative thinking work!...followed by DRAWING FUNDAMENTALS!!!! this class rocks lor!!!!... everyday drawing something new... and the objects are getting more weirder.... this time... some weird cloth over a skeleton rib cage and a hoola hoop on it!!! And my lecturer was sooo funny lor! He was like singing the bone song, "the thigh bone connected to the hip bone, the hip bone connected to the... etc", especially the way he sang it....it was so sissy lor! den he was tellling really weird jokes.. he said: "wait u see the hoola hop move! den u sld freak out...bcoz the skeleton is alive!!!!" -.-' ...... and it was so funny lor...the way he say it in this sissy manner!!!
After class...met andrew before we head to the TCC to see the tp design graduate show! We especially went there to find Chin hui showcase! Josh Lim was there tooo....
After that... ate dinner with andrew at the delicious design canteen food and the BEST Teh BING!!! Then headed to church for YM GAP!!! ... GAP today was really good....never had such a really good gap session in a loooong time. Sandy really pointed out abt how ym especially needs our prayers rite now! She was sharing how the ymers response during worship this few sundays isn't going too well... and how...the FIRE had like extinguished! I really felt the desire to pray for ym very badly!!!! And while Sandy was praying, i really cld feel God's Presence! and it was such a warm feeling! And my heart was really tearing inside for ym! I mean... its just really sad to see this every sunday! Why come there be the same fire and passion like in the last camp? or from fusion? WHY!!! i mean from camps people made promises to keep this fire! BUT!!! now its all goneee!!!! Ym is facing "spiritual oppression" ! and we ymers really need to pray abt it!!! sighhhh....
