Was sharing my concern with the comm for the final night game at that meeting, as ever since last sunday when we kinda completed planning the entire night games! i had a strange dream on it the next 2 days! I cldnt rmb exactly how it went! Only thing i cld rmb was, I knew that we had to change our concept and it was something along the lines of a night walk which had more purpose? but still cldnt exactly piece it together and when i was sharing it to the comm, Glenn had an inspiration from to the LORD to add on to the missing piece of my dream that i might have miss! And it was relating to a message i actually shared in GAP once! Which he remembered! but than it took me awhile to rmb wad i shared to him that time!! hahah! BUT wow we were all so excited as God gave us more and more insights in making this a SUPERB final activity which is going to take YM to a whole new level! And when kheng came into the room....we shared it to him! And he said he cld even feel a sense of chill going up him!!

Saturday... Loooooooong XT meetings...
Sunday... A really good message by Pastor Alvin on "FIREPROOFING YOUR FAITH", and so happened his message that day was exactly what our small grp has been going thru! 1 Kings 16-19
1. Learn To Trust in God 2. Make a choice and stick by it 3. Cultivate a lifestyle of prayer thats the only way to know God
And the MOST IMPORTANT POINT! We MUST HAVE A PROPER PICTURE OF GOD! "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." Ephesians 3:20
"We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us." 2 Corinthians 1:8-10
We ended with this song which i heard before, but never really took note of how wonderful the lyrics and beautiful this song really is! (video of the song) Phillips Craig Dean- You Are God Alone You are not a god Created by human hands You are not a god Dependant on any mortal man You are not a god In need of anything we can give By Your plan, that’s just the way it is
[chorus] You are God alone From before time began You were on Your throne Your are God alone And right now In the good times and bad You are on Your throne You are God alone
You’re the only God Whose power none can contend You’re the only God Whose name and praise will never end You’re the only God Who’s worthy of everything we can give You are God And that’s just the way it is
[chorus]
[bridge] Unchangeable Unshakable Unstoppable That’s what You are
Sunday (YM Leaders lunch at Paulaner Brauhaus at Millenia walk) (my delicioussss GERMAN MEAT!!!!... The chocolate cake was superb!)
Back to church for more XT meetings after... (There was a thunderstorm after our meeting and we tried to capture the lighting! So video tapeee one down!...this is just a quick flash, at abt 16 secs into the video....missed some really beautiful strikes!)

Also had a nice chat with a couple of my lecturers at the canteen, and somehow u can really see that some how they are just like us too! HAHA! likeee how they joke with one another and all that, only thinggg they are much older and with of coursee A WHOLE LOT of experience before them! But it was niceee getting to know them better and also talking "some nonsense" with them! haha!

I can't hold the happiness that im feeling now! Looking back at today alone! Itsss been just back to back HAPPY HAPPY circumstances! =D....

Finallyyy after 3 yrs in TP DESIGN! I kindaaa get a hang of wad really architecture is abt! Abittt slow for me! But yeaa! There's still so much to learntttttt!
Anywaysss..below is the photos of the strangee happenings in sch .... (We saw this interesting sight! one of our lecturer was putting the MANY MANY PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE sign on all the models in the shelves..and i dunno but we found it amusing at that time!?? dunno why looking back? butt oh welll....)

He shared with me his developed concept AND IT ACTUALLY BLEW MY MIND...and that even led to a chill of goosebumps that suddenly went up my hand! Dunno why! BUT it came after hearing the CLIMAX of his script! And than his bus 13 came!!!
ANDDDDD then this skinny dude, with curly hair tap my back as he boarded that same bus as wenhao!
