the map of Asia has been changed by
the earthquake. few small islands
moved to a distance of approximately
20metres. -_-' every day i woke up
i will see the rise of the number of
deaths, not in hundreds but in
thousands. some updates for you guys.
EU co-ordinator of rescue operations,
warns the overall death toll could surpass
100,000. (taken from CNA) that's a
size of harvest crusade church. -___-
The threat of typhoid, malaria, cholera,
dysentery and waterborne disease is
particularly acute in the worst-hit areas
of Sri Lanka, India and Indonesia, where
a combination of surging seawater, hot
and humid weather, and decomposing
bodies means many water supplies are
contaminated. (taken from CNN)
Tsunami death toll surges past 68,000
amid epidemic fears. Indonesia with the
highest deaths record 35,502. currently.
16 Singaporeans were still missing.
(taken from CNA)
by the way CNA update faster than CNN.
-_-' wonder when will everything stop.
thank God! titus, chloe from malaysia and
ju from bangkok were not affected by
the earthquake. was able to contact
them through email and msn. freedy's
family was safe too. yea.

officials predicted that the death toll
may rise to 57,000. -_____-
i was watching CNA on tv and they
interviewed one man from australia i
think. he was swept by the waves but
survived. you know how he end his
interview? "FUN CHRISTMAS." what
the heck! i still can't believe he
actually said that. people were still so
blinded even they were so close to
death.
yesterday i blogged about around 5,400
were dead in the tsunami. today the
number rise up to 23,000 casualties.
can you believe it? it's 23,000.
what i'm worried is the brothers and
sisters from malaysia, thailand and
indonesia.. -.-' just sent email to titus
and chloe from malaysia. not sure
whether they were affected by the
tsunami.
down with fever. the feeling sucks.
seriously. and it's at this period of time.
-.-' but thank God i'm still met up with
syekit and nicodemus today. and i think
they were touched that even though
i'm sick, i still went to meet them. yea.
after meeting them, went out with kok.
and once i reached home, i just went
for the bed. -.-' there's caregroup
tomorrow. but i still not sure whether
can i make it. -___-

Over 5,400 people were killed and
thousands more were missing after the
most powerful earthquake for 40 years
triggered giant tidal waves that slammed
into coastlines across Asia.
if you read CNN.com or CNA, you will
see these articles. 29 people were dead
in malaysia. Singapore felt tremors
from massive Indonesia earthquake.
death was so near us. life is just so
FRAGILE. i just finished reading 1 thess
and the last two chapters reminded me to
live a holy life, a life that is pleasing to
God to prepare for the coming of the
Lord. people are dying yet no one realise
how close they are to death every single
day! if anyone of us is still struggling to
stay on this race and whether to invest
on God's kingdom, wake up and open up
your spiritual eyes and see. God is
coming back very soon.
1thess 5:2 - [for you know very well that
the day of the Lord will come like a thief in
the night.]
1thess 5:3- [While people are saying,
"Peace and safety," destruction will come
on them suddenly, as labor pains on a
pregnant woman, and they will not
escape.]

this CHRISTmas is really special for me.
my aunt, grandma and mum went for
the mandarin service at nexus just now.
this was my first time bringing family
members to hope. as i sat down, i just
prayed that they will come to know God.
during the short worship, i was thinking
when i share to them, will i cry? and i
did. i was awed by God's faithfulness
and realness in me. i wanted them to
receive Christ as soon as they can
because i know life is REALLY FRAGILE.
articles of deaths everyday on the
newspaper, yet they don't just realise
everyday they are v. near death.
though they did not come to know God,
but i think it's a progress. one step
closer. really hope that they will know
God though..
christmas services is over...
i guess this is really a pruning period
for me. >.<.. nvm. God knows what
He is doing in my life.. and i will wait.
anyway, i think this year.. christmas
is very different from previous years.
last year i don't even thought of giving
to my guys but this year i'm actually
excited to give gifts to my caregroup.
-.-'
oh. by the way, my mum, aunt, aunt,
cousin, uncle and grandma is going
mandarin service later at nexus. hahs.
pray for my family's conversion..!!!!!
yeah. wahahaas... imagine just in one
day... my cousin's mum and father
become christian! XD then plus my
mum and grandma... wooOoos. shiok.
but my grandfather and my father
not coming arghs.. -.-' why all the
male all like that one... nvm. yeayea.

today was quite a fruitful shopping day.
hahas. made kokleng walk with me for
so long from far east all the way to
plaza singapura. thanks to his company

ahahs. anyway, interestingly, today
there was a parade by New Creation
church. cool ar? :D we saw lotsa of
yellow dudes along orchard road. yars
then we realised its New Creation. lols.
v. v. v. good sia. the parade cars
were characters or things that
symbolises things from bible. yars. and
i'm sure their purpose in doing such a
grand event that is to tell Singapore,
Christ is the reason for the season!
somewhere near plaza singapura, there
was this small band by a group of
youths. kokleng wanted to take a look
of the band so i went along. their
e. guitarist is a female. cool ar? what's
more even cool is that, their first song
is a christian rock song. :D and while
they were singing, there were donations.
yep. thank God for all these people.
they used this opportunities to spread
God's love!
God spoke to me lotsa of stuff. yars.
can't wait for next year. :D :D

TRUST and not be anxious.
Wednesday, December 15, 2004
seriously, i really hate this but i just can't
run away from it. God i need your help!!!!
yoyoyo!!! im still online hahahas. i'm here
to share what i just received from God
from my qt. yep. i'm v. grateful that God
is always patient with my understanding
of His words. yep. these encouraging
words... from paul made alive in me. :D
philippians 3:13
"Forgetting what is behind and straining
toward what is ahead"
and from a notebook which nico bought
for my birthday(so sweet ar)
"only those who dares to fail greatly can
acheive greatly/great things."
and during camp, point 2 of 3rd teaching.
decide to be strong.
man, God spoke to me alot of times, to
trust in Him fully but not on past failures.
i experienced lotsa of failures. a lot of
new converts but also a lot of them left.
sometimes, my group doesn't seems to
be the way it should be. a united one,
a biblical one. yea. all these experiences
had stopped me from trusting in God
fully in prayer and also in serving the
ministry. but, today will be the day that
i will forget what is behind and strain
towards what is ahead, i will decide to
be strong and trust fully in God. yea.
thank God for speaking to me. even in
such a late hour. yeah.
and oie. brother. if you are reading
this blog. your spiritual life very very
important. please do something about
it and be consistent in your spiritual life.
need any help, ask me. i'll be willing to
rebuke you fwhaha. jk. i'll help you la.
take care.

yoooo! finally back from northeast camp!
woo. everything was great! :D really
wanna thank God for this short camp.
from these few days, i can really tell you
that God is a faithful God! He will never
fail us. times and times, he brought me
through situations, one after another.
yep. it goes like this, i was informed just
few days before the camp that we will
be having a projector. wahhaas. then i
needed to do alot of things for the camp.
the booklet, lyrics, sermon, opening
ceremony. yar. but thank God, two
huiying-s from northeast helped me to
release some of these load. huiying from
JC group helped me in the lyrics and i
edited whatever error i see.. while the
other huiying helped me to do coverpage,
camp program of the booklet. everything
was very smooth until i realised that we
do not have anything to load video to
laptop for the closing ceremony. that's
a real challenge hahas. buying the cable
was also a problem. i went to centre-
point to find the cables and surprisingly
realise that the cables were quite cheap.
but what i need have no stock so i just
asked God to help me. so i just bought
whatever i think it can work. then in the
end it did work! :D yep. i'm really very
thankful that huiying had helped me alot.
in editing, capturing and recording the
video for closing ceremony. though it
may not be a very good one but we
did our best. yea. sad thing is that the
images are not so well flashed on the
wall hahas. but nevermind, when rayson
came back, i will ask him to burn for me
this video :D yep. getting sleepy. okay.
i'll go now. bye! God is faithful!
a simple heart, child-like faith, obedient
life!
