Coming to 1 Year as Full Time church staff!

While I was preparing for this saturday sermon... getting a bit distracted.. went to my blog.. oops again.. not updating for ages!

Taking some time to pray for the leaders who are serving along with me in X2. I thank God for every one in the David Mighty Men's team! They are lovely bunch of people who love God and His flocks. Sacrificial, loving, faithful bunch of leaders who dreams BIG for Jesus! Not forgetting the RDMM team! - love them! They are great biblical models they live out their life fully for God! A bunch of crazy people! crazy for Jesus!

Start to reflect... It's coming to 1 year serving in Hope Church as a full time staff! I recalled the time I entered into staff team was 2008 Nov. I came in with simple mind, just serve, develop and grow! I felt privilege to be able to serve God alongside with all the spiritual giants (the pastors & staffs), who give their whole heart to Jesus. Many of them serve beyond their boundaries, giving the best to advance the Kingdom of God.

Although, I seldom go to office as my job requires me to travel around campuses and places to meet people. I always look forward to Mon & Thurs/ Fri to go back to office to have lunch and catch up with the colleagues! They were a bunch of fun loving, creative, energetic & crazy people!

I'm always thankful to have a great boss- Ps Jasmine. She gave me lots of opportunities to develop and improve. Always believing in me and encouraging me to be all that God wants me to be. Haa... we always have a common place for shepherding... (we are boring people when it comes to.. deciding food.. maybe not for her, but for me.) For the past 1 year, perhaps even way before I come into office.. we will always go to katong mall - a mini coffeeshop that only have 1 stall- for shepherding.. we seldom asked where should we go.. the moment we step out of office for catch up, we will end up there. Even the lady boss also know the food we want! What matter most isnt the food, but the time spent together.

I thank God for having such a godly, loving, beautiful and gentle boss. Well... she can be rather crazy in office. But her presence really matter, as she brings joy and energy to us! She is committed to God, committed to give her best to the church.

In these 1 whole year, I was challenged to stretch and serve more. I thank God for his grace, opportunities and strength. Experience mountains & valleys in life, yet I know Mountain mover & Valley lifter is there to keep watch and give me strength to overcome. I pray that God will continue to enlarge my capacity to serve Him. I may not know what will be happening next year or after, I could only thank God for bringing me thus far and looking forward to where his grace brings.. It shall be a supernatural & exciting encounter!


You are Faithful. You are Awesome. Thank you, Heavenly Father.

A Mountain- Moving Week!

Just finished watching the recording of Saturday POLYDINS svc preaching. I kept laughing at the funny expression & jokes that i shared. First time having breakthrough in sharing jokes that people will laugh!!! I was also greatly moved and touched by God working through me to speak to the congregation. During the watching of the video --- response/ altar call time, I lifted my hands and prayed to God. First time watching at the sermon with that kind of wah!!! IF it's not God then who? I can't deny that Power & Love of God moving in the service & my life.

I thank God for the courage that he gave. Many things not in the script, but was shared cos I'm truly convicted that Repentance is one of the key that usher Revival! God, thank you. Thanks for using me.

Thank God for Jasmine, not giving up on me & always believe in me, giving the best to train & guide me. It's a blessing to have a great mentor.

I love the RDMM team, they had stretched my faith recently, I enjoyed the time we shared about our learning as it spur & inspire me to grow! I love the DMM team, a great team to serve with, having fun time & greater bonding! I start to see greater unity in the team!

Many new challenges ahead but i believe with God, ALL things are POSSIBLE!

Thanks for loving me, dad. YOur Grace is enough.


A mountain-moving week!

Celebrating 1 Year Courtship

Haha... one funny thing- on 6th July, Mr K called at around 11.55pm. The moment he called, he said " 5 more minutes. " I thought he told me that he will call me again in 5 min time & I answered "ok". He was like "huh?" Miscom... then i realised what he meant was 5 mins to our 1st anniversary! ah. so ambarassing.. hoho...

Down with ulcers, flu, sorethroat.. but thank God it doesnt affect the celebrative mood of our 1st yr courtship. I just miraclously got healed when I see him. Thank God!

Next day, 07072009, Upon entering Equinox at Swissotel the Stamford, Mr K & I were mesmerised by the panoramic views of Singapore. What a view! From the top of the tallest hotel in Southeast Asia, you can see out past the marina to Malaysia and Indonesia and the restaurant's three-tier design and floor-to-ceiling windows mean every table has a view. It's decorated in contemporary style with nice Chinese accents.

I was captivated by the impressive three-storey, amphitheatre-style restaurant that emphasizes simple yet bold design elements. We had a sumptuous high-tea buffet, dwelling in that great ambience.

Drinking '70th storey' tea & tasting the wide range of high-tea consist of the East & West cuisine.. oh... awesome! We really enjoy a varied and multidimensional culinary experience! We cant help but keep taking pics! You can see some ppl taking pic as they dig in the food. Young & old couples everywhere! so exciting!

We had a spontaneous plan there after, just a walk around suntec then we head to cineleisure. Intending to watch "I love you, Man" too bad... we missed the timing. So we took some time to think of places to go... and we ended up going to Timbre!

It's so cooL! Timbre near substation. We just enjoyed the Live Acoustic by Good Fellas. Fantastic! One of the key singers actually performed in our Ydna event before! It's a right choice man, not rock but acoustic style! We love it! Oh we love the buffalo wings! Though it's our first time, we tasted one of the best Buffalo wings we ever had so far! We loved the special Timbre seasoning & the amazing generous portion with reasonable price! We agreed that this place shall be our regular hangout on Tues nites!

15min to midnight, about to reach home. We exchanged our gifts. Surprises! Mr K. give me a special magic cup that will show our pics when hot water is poured into it, pinky roses (haha.. in the car with the road lights, i thought it's yellow roses!) & a card (triangled ribbon that synify our r's with God in the centre) w our recent pics! I love 'em! While for me, I prep a special wooden framed mirror that is decorated with his name & stuffs! It's one & only design. No Duplication. Exclusive edition. =)

When I reached home, I just took some time to read the card & give thanks to the Lord! 5 things written on his card to move forward to in building this r's. Agree.


MPC- preparation for the next phase of lives, Our Spiritual lives & personal developments in ministries & career, Families' salvation, Mission Trip together, improve our 21km Stanchart timing this year! Let's move forward!

Immediately when I reached home. I am down with flu, sorethroat again. I guess it's all the food that cause it.. choc fondue..seafood.. buffalo wings... Prayed for healinG!

I THANK THE LORD FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE IN OUR LIVES. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DAYS AHEAD>>>

Happy Birthday to Joel & Leslie too! Sharing the same day of celebration!
