Hear Our Cry
City Harvest Church
We gather together
With one heart to seek Your face
Standing in reverence
Humbly in awe of Your grace
Remember us now
You called us by name
Remember us now
Oh God as we pray
Our lives we surrender
Choosing to walk in Your ways
Turning towards You
Your promises we will embrace
Hear our cry
Hear our prayer
We Your children call to You this day
Hear our cry
Hear our prayer
Restore our lives
And heal our land
Jesus Son of the Living God
Touch Your church
Your Kingdom come in our land

Work while you have the light. You are responsible for the talent that has been entrusted to you.
- Henri-Frédéric Amiel
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.
- Aristotle
The tragedy of life is not that we die, but is rather, what dies inside a man while he lives.
- Albert Schweitzer
Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
- Jim Morrison
It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
- Teddy Roosevelt

Wowz. It's been almost 3 months since I last blogged. October, November, December. Hmmmm. 3 months. That's fast. Funny how time will fly by you when you least expect it and it will never return again? The "4th" dimension. Well, time and tide waits for no man, so...
Have been thinking of a lot of things recently. Be it in work, studies, relationships, ministry, future, family, etc. Well, it's good to think about your life for a while in time, but not wallow yourself in depression or worry your entire life away. It's more of a... reflection. Ya, that's the word. 2009 has been more of a roller coaster for me. Good things happened and I also had my share of bad things. Achievements, successes were also gripped with failures and disappointments. Looking at my goal setting card (yes, I have it with me, and don't tell me yours is in some part of your house that will never see the daylight, eh?). This year, in terms of goals, would be considered my worst year yet. Even though there are a few more wks to the end of the year, let's be realistic. Faith is for the now, but yet we are not to have reckless faith. Evaluation of my goals in 2009: slightly more of a boarder line pass, nothing to boast about. But at least I've tried, guess I have to try harder next year. Disappointed? Yes, definitely, I won't lie to you. But we will have to grow from our disappointments and He will turn them around into new appointments.
Looking at some friends (also having dinner with some of them as we seldom see one another much), I saw the change in them. Well, some of them have grown quite a lot(not in the physical sense, but emotionally and mentally). Well, most of them. They grew stronger, more independent, more matured in their thinking and actions (most of the time. Friends reveal their real forms to their closest circle of friends. Muahahaha. *Evil laughter*). Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional. And I began to see the dreams and visions and aspirations that these people have. They have individually matured as a person. In mind, soul, spirit and emotions. I was happy for them. Looking at myself, how have I grown throughout this year? Like what someone asked me, where were you at last year and where are you now at this year? Have you grown in any of the aspects? Do you have a better understanding of yourself? Are you having a larger dream than before? Or are you the same old you 1 year ago? Reflections, reflections, reflections. Judgment is only to be used upon ourselves and it will guide us to the correct path.
And I just remembered that I promised someone that I will blog a story in chinese. Hahahaha. Someday, it will happen. I need the inspiration and the motivation to do it.
On a side note, Adam Tay is attached! Hahahaha. One of my best elligible bachelor has finally taken himself off the shelf. Hahahaha! Happy for him! I believe they will live happily ever after. =d
Christmas is already round the corner, literally. 3 more days to christmas! But somehow, don't really feel christmas-y. Weird. I think I'm having an-eeyore syndrome. Well, he has always been my favourite character from the Winnie the Pooh series. Guess you didn't know that right? Hahahaha. Anyway, think this year christmas will be good! Christmas svcs and year-end svcs back-to-back. Wuhoo.
Oh ya, I am now officially an iPhone user! Hahahaha. So not much pictures as of now as I am trying to figure out how to take better pictures with the camera.
So, this is the only picture I will leave you with for now.
Hahahaha.
Till next time,
Till the last trumpet sound.

说好的幸福呢
周杰伦
你的回话凌乱着在这个时刻
我想起喷泉旁的白鸽甜蜜散落了
情绪莫名的拉扯我还爱你呢
而你断断续续唱着歌假作没事了
时间过了走了爱情面临选择
你冷了倦了我哭了
离开时的不快乐你用卡片手写着
有些爱只给到这真的痛了
怎么了你累了说好的幸福呢
我懂了不说了爱淡了梦远了
开心与不开心一一细数着你再不舍
那些爱过的感觉都太深刻我都还记得
你不等了说好的幸福呢
我错了泪干了放手了后悔了
只是回忆的音乐盒还旋转着要怎么停呢
怎么了你累了说好的幸福呢
我懂了不说了爱淡了梦远了
我都还记得
你不等了说好的幸福呢
我错了泪干了放手了后悔了
只是回忆的音乐盒还旋转着要怎么停呢
