Jesus' last words were not come but "go"

18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV)

Jesus' last words were not come but "go". And thats the great commission that he has tasked all of us christians to do! Its a ACTIVE word!

MOVEMENTS EVERYWHERE SO THAT EVERYONE KNOWS SOMEONE WHO TRULY FOLLOWS JESUS!

I really hope that we christians out there can really follow this command and practice it in everywhere we are be it in school, office or the army! That's something which i'm praying about as im now being called to be a Soldier in the army!

ARMY HALF MARATHON 2010

3.15AM
Woke Up...
4.35am
Reach the form up area for the Signal Formation...
5.30am
My BMT SERGEANT called out to me!!! I was quite shocked at first as that was like 1 yr plus ago when i was still a recruit and he still remember me!

(The FB conversation i had with my bmt sergeant when i got back)

5.40am
Started the run...

(The start line!)

Ran at a comfortable pace of 5.30mins per km with one of my specs for the first hr in the early hours of the morning...


(The beatiful Marina Bay Sands sky line in the earlier morning!)

After reaching the high way towards Kallang area... decided to paced up when i saw my usual running buddy & SOCC mate chuen kiat... as we zig zag pass various runners at a pace of 4.30 mins per km...


(Chuen kiat the person on the corner of this photo...as we reach the kallang park area...)

Bump into my Tango Wing instructor LTA Ray along the way too...

When the morning sun got brighter...

(The F1 Track which leads towards the Marina Bay Sands again!)

(went past the flyer)


(The iconic skyline of singapore!)

(Past under the Benjamin Sheares bridge)



(19 KM mark!!!!!!... 2 more km to go! This was the mark where i cld feel my left tight muscle tightening up, was afraid of cramping up in the last couple of km!)

(Only 500 m more to go!!!)

About 7.50am

(It was quite a moment when one past the finishing line!!!... finish in a time of 2hrs 10mins...)

(Back at the Padang!!!)


(My number tag and 21km finisher medal!)

This AHM run sure was a run that i will never forget! The atmosphere running along side THOUSANDS of people from all over Singapore and catching up with various ppl along the way! A run which although was tiring at moments but the adrenaline in it just keeps you going!

Next up.... 42km Standard Chartered FULL MARATHON on 5 december 2010!!!

A long weekend break!

Its been one of the longest time i can recall since i have a looooooong weekend break like this! After recovering from a flu the past couple weeks! Im now almost back to full health and ready to start running again! Especially with the army half marathon coming up this sunday! Hope my fitness is still there after not running for the past couple of weeks!

Just looking a at the days ahead... there are so many things i hope to do this weekend! Being part of the various ministries that i really enjoy investing my time in. With this 125 Wesley Anniversary where we gonna have various sports events at the Singapore Sports school in a few hrs time! Plus tchoukball on saturday morning anddd time to catch up with my sec 2 small grp and own small grp on sunday! Plus finally being able to meet up with the Ymove comm on sunday night!

Besides all these, i have certainly been thinking about what i'm gonna do after i finish my 1 yr 10 mths NSF career! Its only like 8mths away, and there's so much i plan to do next! One thing which i certainly hope to continue is to spend my time in Sports ministry. Thats something which i have been part of and believe in greatly for the past year.

" ... Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some. I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings.” 1 Corinthians 9:22-23 (NLT)

A God who Heals!

This last couple of weeks i have been feeling pretty under the weather. There were moments when i thought i recovered. But then it kinda got worst again as the day past. This shows that REST is very important and when your sick. You sld just stop everything and REST. I somehow felt that i cld still hold on each day. Even though doing work in the office seems so much harder when your head is pounding and its so hard to take a break when you know you got things to get done! In the end I practically finish almost 3/4 of the flu panadol box i had although i reallyyy tried not to take them unless im like DYING! Than just Wednesday and thursday, it got one of the worst of the 2 weeks...i just kept coughing so much till i vomited my phelgm in the morning. And then by afternoon my whole body was aching and suddenly felt so hot yet freezing internally. When i took my temperature it shot up to a 38.5 degree! I was like! Ohh dear.. i need to rest now! So i took an early snooze at 5pm... sent an sms to a few ppl asking to pray for me as i neeeded to recover the next morning as i had to be the SAFETY OFFICER for a complex run.

Anyways 2-3 hrs later abt 7plus pm when i woke up my fever actually went down below 35.6 degree! I was like. WOW! God really answerssss prayers! And it was quite fast! I really want to thank the people that prayed for me!!! Anyways from then onwards although with the lethargy feeling still, i can still sense that i was much better than thurs. Gonna take a good rest now before heading back to camp tmr! =)
