SEC 1 CMs Outing Apr 07

The weirdest things people do to bring their point across.... Michael was first to go.... don't you think he looked so much like a Balinese? haaaa Eh Bro! Your ministry could be there... :) and there goes Jeremy thinking that he has one of those easiest cards? Wait a minute! I think he was trying to figure out how that whole thing works. Haaaa Deh deh deh Kung Fu Fighter! Hur HA! Presenting Shi Fu Joshua... Din know playing GESTURE could get this violent?!?!
Cheryl was in this position for the good whole minute... er. YES! We din get any of it right! ha.. But it was a good try! She definitely improved as the game went on.
Eh? How come Keith point at the camera but eyes looking somewhere else? What went wrong with the coordination? Haaa :)

Din manage to get a single shot of everyone but here's the group pic and this is the nicest shot cos I AM IN THERE!! I am sure all of you can help but to agree! :) Love ya guys.

Everyone needs a Pat on their shoulders.

Recently my lappy crashed. Lost all my data and yup ALL. Went to Funan to pick up my empty shell on Sunday. I was super tired. I was just the 5th in line but I had to wait for 1hour 15mins before I could see my lappy after the week's separation. Because of that wait, I met this mid-fifties lady who was sitting beside me. She was the 6th in line. We exchanged a few smiles and I soon began a conversation with her. She told me she was picking up her daughter's lap top and that she was a widow. She went on to share how she single-handedly brought up her seven children ever since her husband's death 12 years back. Her youngest being 12 years old now, she said life is very much better now and she thanked God for it.

" I was a dad in the night cos I had to work night shifts and a mum in the day..."

Aunty told me that with tears in her eyes. I told her that she is one amazing woman. I couldn't imagine how life was like for her when her children were all still young and solely dependent on her for money, love, care, companion, support etc...

I could not help but to put my arms around her and told her how brave and strong she was.

I then, collected my lap top and initially wanted to take a cab home but the wait for just too painful. After 30mins, I decided to walk to the train station and head home on a MRT. As the train reached Tiong Bahru, a young couple got in with their two really lovely kids. I would say one was about 2 half and the other 4. As soon as the mother settled down in her seat, both the parents got to work. They brought out the milk bottles and started making dinner for the young one. After which , dad settled the older one down as she was getting impatient while waiting for her share. They alighted at Clementi and throughout that short 20 over minutes, they did a whole bunch of amazing things. They fed them, changed them, coaxed them and even taught them. WOW!

With these 2 pictures that the Lord had shown me, I can't help but to think of a couple of parents in our church who really needed an encouragement as they were handling tough kids. I mean, its already tough bringing up those who are normal so what more to say those who are autistic, ADHD etc. I gave thanks for parents of such who really love their children for who they are. They braved the storms and risked their lives for their own children. I salute them.

When I reached home, Dad heated up the soup for my hungry stomach and I can;t help but to share with him all that had happened to me as I made my trip home. Dad listened attentively and I told him how I appreciated both mummy and him for looking after all of us these years. Dad just smiled. :)

Has anyone told you that your parents are parents for the first time? Do give them a pat on their shoulders for who you are today. :)

Give me a CUPPA Cake!

Chanced upon this in the papers yesterday.
I am Soooooooo going to eat it soon. Yum!
Give me a Cuppa CAKE!!
How can anyone resist?

My Pride.

Heard of the Nursery Rhyme, Teddy Bear Teddy Bear? Do allow my sweetie pies and sugar rocks to present to you if you have yet heard of it. :) They presented this during assembly 2 weeks ago but the teacher who videoed the clip has yet given me the video and I suppose it won't possibly land in my hands any time soon. So here's the second take which I took in class today. They forgot a little and seemed a little unsure but personally I think its just so good! Call it BIAS! I will spell that with a capital B. Ha:)

Charming Little Drummer Boy.

Yesterday Van and I had lunch and we had KFC!!! Let me shout it again. K.F.C! Ooooo! Not that its really fantastic but its delayed gratification man cos I have been so craving for it since last week. With the long wait, it became a 'no-matter-what, I-am-going-to-eat-it food'.

As we walked down paragon, I met my little charming drummer boy --- > Ethan Ong, 7. This boy is totally brilliant. He plays all that by hearing you know. GOSH! Talk about a prodigy. I think God has really blessed him with much great gift. When I asked him about it, he replied with a definite 'YES!'
Brilliant people somehow just fascinates me. Especially those brilliant and humble sort. Yup Ethan - the brilliant and humble sort.

Asked to take a picture with him, he agreed almost immediately. How humble right? :) Then again how to resist? Take picture with such a pretty Jie Jie *grins*

If you have yet watched this Singapore Youngest Busker perform, head down to Paragon one of these sunday afternoons and you would be as awed as me. :)

Ethan Ong,
an ordinary boy with an extraordinary gift,
who believes in an extraordinary God - Jesus.

Happy Chinese New Year.

Yesterday marked the best day of my Chinese New Year as I slogged the whole day in the Kitchen. Absolutely Tiring But its so WORTH IT to be the Mariah for the day. Mum and Dad were happy and I guess thats the very key reason why I was. Who cares about the tonnes and tonnes of plates to be washed?
(Thank God for Jie and Gina who helped!
How can a household ever live without women??
Men out there... give thanks for your ma, por por, jie and meis)

So where was I? Right! The dinner! The guests really brought so much joy. Jie and BIL came together with Uncle Alan and Aunt Esther (JIE's PILs), Por Por (Jie's G.MIL) and Gina, Alvin and their handsome boy BABY... oops I meant Ryan. Having 11 people around the table was really a little squeezy but its just so cozy and the soup was just exceptionally sweet and savoury. Lao YuShengING was another exciting time

*PILs = Parents in Law
G.MIL = Grandma in Law


*Drum ROLLs* Allow me to present to you BABY.. Oops! I meant Ryan ONG! Aiyah its so difficult to call him by his name cos I am just so used to calling him Baby. But for the sake of his identity and esteem, Ryan, it shall be. :)

This boy is so special to me cos I babysitted him when he was a baby. Cleaned his poo, showered him, fed him, brought him out for walks on strollers, played blowing bubbles, sang lullabys yah de yah de yah de... just a special kind of connection. Love him to bits. Wah feel a little teary talking about this. SHALL STOP! haa. Now he is in Primary 2. How times fly. *sigh

Dear Lord, I pray that Ryan will grow up knowing you. He will grow in wisdom and in stature. Teach him and guide him in paths of righteousness that he will have a faith that could move mountains and and an unshakable faith in You, in time to come. Place within him a seed faith that one day it might sprout fruit of his salvation. In Jesus name Amen.

Steven.

After recess while walking back to class:

Iman: Miss Sim, just now the big boys bully us!
Soowei: What did they do? They beat you? Scolded you?
Haziq: They called us PIGs!

Steven overheard, he placed his hands on Haziq's shoulder: But, we love to eat pigs!

Both Haziq and Iman stared blankly at Steven.

Steven: Really!!

Steven was trying to be kind and comforting but I guessed he had just rubbed salt to the wound unintentionally. Haaa kids. Didn't I just tell you that I am teaching the most wonderful kids in the world? :)

Probability.

Soowei: Dear God, please send us a cab that will take all 5 of us. Amen.
Cab Uncle: 好！上车！

What's the probability of a cab uncle willing to take 5 people and earn that couple of dollars @ the risk of a fine?

Low.

What's the probability of praying for a cab uncle to be willing to take 5 people and having it answered?

High!

What's the probability of having the taxi uncle to be a non believer and yet been to Grace Assembly before?

Low.

What's the probability of this uncle coming to know Jesus soon?

Jesus I am sure you will make it all possible in your timing. Amen.

With God all things are possible! :)

Sing a Ding Ding and Learn Vowels.

A great site to teach vowels. Or say, a trigger? Am sure the children would LURve it.
Technically, when 2 vowels come together they are usually what we call a long vowel or a diphthong but I guess to children we should just simplify. :)

Ng Kian Tat.

Scene One - Social Studies lesson.
"Draw what comes to your mind when you think of Chinese New Year"

Soowei: Kian tat, your classmates are already colouring may I know why you are still not drawing anything?

Kian Tat (in a real serious tone): I am thinking!

Soowei: Erm right. Do you mind thinking a little faster cos you have been thinking for the past 20 mins.

Just before the bell rings, Kian Tat had his sudden inspiration but he still drew atrociously. sigh

Scene Two - During English Lesson when everyone is supposed to hand in their worksheets

Reported by grp leader that Ng Kian Tat did not bring his worksheet and when I checked, I found his worksheet underneath his table - UNDONE!!! Whats worse? Practice 12, 14 and 17 were there too. At that moment....Soowei RRrrrrrrrOARed

Soowei: Kian Tat, bring me to your mummy after school. You are staying back!

Kian Tat Remained Dreaming....

Scene Three - At school gate with mum

Soowei: So, Kian Tat give me one good reason why you don't like to do homework.

For a good 1 minute he remained motionless

Mum: 快点跟老师讲！！

Kian Tat: 我还在想!!!

I nearly fainted...

I Wish....

This week, we are on the topic of "I wish..." for English and I got the children tp journal about what they would like to wish for. Here are a couple of my favorites:

By: Boon Ching, 8 Yrs Old
One of my Xiao Fei feis
He wished to be a rock star.
I told him that I would be there at his concert when he has one. :)

By: Anelka Bredan Tan, 8 Years Old
One of the dreamers and jokers in class
He said, "I wish you a merry Christmas...yade yade yade and a Happy new Year"
I wished him the same and mentioned that its rather early for one.
Haa introduced to him the term "December".

Teaching Children...

Yesterday during our meeting our school's full time counselor showed this clip to us and it is very inspiring. Difficult to achieve but not all impossible... It left me thinking about what I am really teaching in school. It makes me reconsider some of the words I use, my methods of teaching and makes me wanna hug every of my little ones in class...

Everyday, there are moments that would make me pause my teaching to wait for the misbehaving children to be focus again. On the other hand, there are also moments which would make me laugh out loud in class or simply smile...

The english topic that we are on now is "Now and then". It talks about the differences between the olden times and now. Some children started talking about the toilets then and now....

Soowei: ....Yes children, you are right! The toilets then are really.... dirty and smel...

Tesmond interrupted: Smeowly!!!

Soowei: Erm... Tesmond that's right its smelly!

Tesmond: Smeowly... (a little more uncertain of the pronunciation as his classmates began laughing at him)

Soowei: Right... erm.. Tesmond, say 'Smeh'

Tesmond: Smeh!

Soowei: Good! Now try 'Smeh-ly'

Tesmond: Smeowly!!! SmEEeoly? Smeouly?

Tesmond went on trying so many other versions of "smeowlys" and I can't help but to laugh out loud cos he looked so cute trying to get the word right. In his frustration,

Tesmond: Aiyah Miss Sim I dun know how to say lah... Smeowly!Smeowly!Smeowly! meow meow meow.... can?

Soowei smiled: Right Tesmond! That's a nice poem you've got there with the word 'Smelly'....

Daddy Vs Zard Dai Kor

Never know that I would freak out at the sight of Zard dai kor (big bro in cantonese). Never used to be actually until that faithful night when it crept into my room. Let out a scream followed by asking my Dad to the rescue. Actually I think I was demanding. Anyway, it escaped cos Dad decided to be merciful and he comforted me with a mere "不用尽啦。。。”

Come on, never tell a scaredy cat "不用尽啦。。。” cos its so 用尽啦! *sigh. Went to bed with Daddy assuring that it won't come back in. GUESS WHAT??? Just a couple of minutes ago, it was on the latch above my bed. This is so 用尽 now!!! This time round as I screamed for Dad, he came in with his weapon. A rather lousy one cos the magic clean broom broke into 2 as Dad exchanged his first blow with Zard dai kor. The best part was it was still left alive on my LATCH!!!

After a minute of contemplation I think Dad began to think that Zard dai kor was not as easy as he think he was. He then brought in the high chair and of course a better broom.... *kbish bish* Zard dai kor fell to the ground.... motionless.... and Soowei rejoices!!! *grins* Lizards. YUcks!

Prayer

"...prayer is about telling God everything @ any time and any place. .."

Beth Moore

EVERYTHING
ANY TIME
ANY PLACE
PRAYER.

Shema

Pastor Ron was just talking about the Shema during the last combined leaders' meeting. If you were wondering what it was, it is actually a prayer which the Jews would recite twice a day. They would say it once in the morning and once in the night. The gist of it which I gathered is that we should love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul and mind and with that, the Lord blesses. Sound so simple, but I guess sometimes the simplest things are the toughest thing to learn.

I am teaching the primary 2 this year and they are loads of fun. TRUELY my sweetie pies and sugar rocks. They never fail to sweeten my day. Am on the topic of counting now. To many of us, how difficult can counting be right? What comes after 999? 1000. But to a handful of my kids, counting beyond 100 can be a little unachievable. How do one teach counting anyway? Was just thinking about how I learnt to count. Well being a smart me *clears throat* I just know how to count. Haaa Alright that's not the point. The point I am trying to make is that really sometimes the simplest things can truely be the hardest thing to learn and grasp.

Loving God with all our heart, soul and mind... Loving God with our all, our whole, our entire. We never should comparmentalise our life when it comes to loving God. We don't just love God in church do we? We love Him when we are schooling, eating, happy, sad, watching TV, shopping... the list goes on and could be sum up with one word - ALL.

A.S.A.P

A.S.A.P

A brand new meaning for a busy world.

Handbreadths.

PS 39:5 You have made my days a mere handbreadth;
the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Each man's life is but a breath.

Dear Lord,
make my life count as it should be.
Help me to focus on what is important and eternal.
Help me see the value in the things that I am working on now and in the years you are going to bless me with. Though my life is just a handbreadth, may it impact many more around me and hence bring YOU glory. Lord I confess my limitations and proclaim Your limitless Power in my life. Use me as YOU want me to. Amen.

First Day of School.

First day of school. I brought a school bag of anxieties. Come on! Who says that teachers have no anxieties. There are like thousand and one things to remember and just a million zillion administration work to handle. What do we do on the first day?

Let me bring you into a teacher's BRAIN, the night before school:

• What should I wear tmr?
• Black? YES! ALL BLACK --> Power suit!
  
• Should I smile the moment I enter or not? I should la, they are lower primary hmm... NO! Cannot! They will climb over.
  
• My Access card? Hmmm Where did I put in?
• GOSH! Where is that VPN token? *Phiew! Found.
  
• What do I need to collect tmr? Ok All workbooks, practice books, MLEA book, Files.
• Sitting arrangement how?
• Practice getting into groups.
  
• CLASS RULEzZ!
  
• OK! Now how come I can't sleep?
  
• Clock Ticks....
• ZzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZ

6:00am

As I walked into school, I was greeted by a gush of Johnson & Johnson baby power scent. OOoo yeah! THe new batch of primary ones. GOSH! SO cutsie. haaa small people with ernormous bags. I have a feeling the parents made them bring EHhhhhverything to school lor; maybe even next term's books. :) That somehow perked me up a little as I made my way to the staff room.

Before I could even warm my seat, an announcement for all form teachers to be down at the parade square was made. YUP! Form teacher! That's me. Made my way down ASAP cos I looked around and apparently I was the only P2 form teacher left in the staff room. Haa.. ZOOM down and guess what?

Soowei: Mrs Ho where do we get the attendance? I can't seemed to find it in the office.
Mrs HO: Oh! For the first day we usually print them out from the cockpit.
Soowei: GAsp! Right... *smiled and tried to remain calm.

Thank God that I brought along the student's particulars forms and I could mark the attendance with that. Now! Visual check to see that none of the children are looking sickly cos of the Avian Flu. At this juncture, teachers play doctors and nurses too. :) Time to sing our National Anthem. sadly, tape didn't work and we had to sing acappella. Boy boy boy! I concluded, my children are rather tone-deaf. I can't help but to let out a snigger cos my pri2 sang so loudly and each carrying their own tune. I think they were trying to harmonise but er... I tried real hard to control man!

Went in to class, had a closer look at each of my kids and I can't help but to let out a smile as I greeted them. They are just such sweetie pies. RIGHT.... started off with a BINGO game to have everyone know one another a little better and guess what? They were rather obedient, I told them to whisper and play and they did. I LURVE my kids! SMUACK SMUACK.

Skip all the admin and TADAH! Before I knew it, School's over.
Head for quick lunch then meeting.

How I'm feeling now? Looking forward to seeing my little ones tomorrow.

My Carebear Friend.

Had so much fun hanging out with my bear friend today.
I felt so sorry for having to postpone so many of our supposed meetings.
Hey Carebear Friend, thanks once again for being that patient, faithful friend. :) Happy Belated Birthday! Dun think you wish to count it right? *Wink*

Beginning a brand new year with His promises...

For the past couple of days, I have been feeling rather overwhelmed by the 2007 load. I have yet seen it but was welcomed by it during the SEM meeting last week. A little lost for words when I found out that I am going to be in EIGHT committees this coming year. I guess a better word to describe how I am feeling now is "...".

HOwever I am bringing these into 2007:
1. Amanda's worship leading on GOd's faithfulness.
I really needed to hear that man! Was so blessed to learn again of His faithfulness; one that never fails. What have I to fear when I know God holds my tomorrow?

2. Pastor Matthew's Message on Praising God for His goodness.
I guess I must learn to see the good in these 'bad' which I am feeling. I need to catch a glimpse of God's hand and His purpose. Indeed, God works all for the good of those who love Him and those who are called according to His purpose. Once again I need to learn to trust and learn to praise and pray in the midst of bad and toughness.

3. Liying's MSN encouragement
Thank you for all that you have said over MSN. I so choose to believe that God has used you in those minutes to minister to my fretful heart. :)

4. JIE's sweet sms
Just when I needed it! How apt.
"Praying that God will give you strength and joy as you start a new term. Love you and night night".
Love you too JIE!

5. Jeanie's God led prayer
I was so blessed to hear your voice over the phone praying for me. God just know that I needed it i guess. :) JEanie thanks for being that channel of blessing that God has used to touch my heart. Thanks for claiming so many promises through that prayer. I am charged up man! :)

With all these, I am marching into 2007 with GOD and His promises!!!

Charlie Brown Christmas

Have you ever asked the same question?

Eighteenth/12.

Eighteeth/12

Two years back, when they said ‘I do.’,

JIE was stunning and so was BIL.

Eighteenth/12, a day to remember

Of a handsome couple that God has brought together.

Both of you are so different yet similar

That explains the gifts I bought earlier.

The CD, ‘When Jazz meets Hymn’,

Talks much about JIE being ‘Jazz” and BIL being ‘hymn’ -

2 people of different background,

Yet when placed together generates such beautiful sounds.

“The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not be in want.”

I hope you like the T-shirts and not just wear only once.

It talks about God being your constant provider

And hence you need not worry.

Just trust in Him and know for sure

In Him, you have no lack, nor fear.

Lastly, the book I bought meant as a reminder:

DO NOT stop dating even after your wedding.

May your hearts grow fonder for each other as years past

And hopefully a few little ones would come real fast.

Happy Anniversary BIL and JIE.
You guys are really dear to my heart.
Love ya to bits.

A Vertical Challenge.

During the leaders' retreat, I attempted a vertical challenge. When I saw other climbers, I thought that it should not be that difficult a task but my view changed when I found myself stuck on that wall a couple of times.

"Where should I move?"

"Should I give up?"

"Oh man! This stone is like so super tiny lah?
I think its STONE climbing lor.. somebody show me the rock. ARGH!"

"OKay where should I move now?"

Never mind, I am sure there are alternatives."

"Ahh....how come my arms so short!"

"Hang in there..."

"Rest first, breathe..."

"ok, I am reaching the top. Well done, Suhui!"

"Finally, the top."

Rock-climbing is so not easy. Grace, I salute you for being able to do it so swiftly. I guess the training in ODAC helps alot huh and definitely your exposures to the various kinds of rock walls makes the one that we scaled a real small task. *wink.

So what did I learn? The climb reflected a little about my ministries this year. It was tough but I persevered through this year as I made the transition from schooling to working. Its just tougher to give more to God when my hands are already full and I only have 24 hours a day. Its just more tiring physically. Its just more draining. I thank God for creating me with a strong will, I thank Him for giving me the strength when I felt like giving up. I thank God for the prayers and encouragements I received this whole year as I served. Thank you all who stood with me in prayers. I really appreciate that. :) I thank God that I held on and became more mature.

Following Jesus is like climbing a rock wall I guess. It takes perserverance, training and encouragements to move on. Thats why I like what John Ortberg says about "training to be a christian" and not "trying to be a christian." Its not about attempting to love, its training. Neither is it about trying out a ministry and attempting to serve, rather training.

"I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 3:14

Dear bros and sisters in Christ,
hang in there! :)

Rhema 06.

Running a youth conference is definitely not easy. *salutes* the COM. Well done people!. I guess like many others I am still trying to get use to the idea of a conference as we are so used to and comfortable with the usual year end Fun Camp. As Pastor Cuixian shared her vision with the congregation on the Finale night, I can't help but to agree that its something that R-age is capable of doing and indeed, we do have the potential to succeed in it. Not easy definitely cos its so much easier to run something that we are all familiar with - camps, rather than threading on unknown grounds, with that I see much faith is required. But R-age is able to give so much more cos we are so blessed. *ponders*

What I really love about Rhema:
The Primary 6s. Haa I would spell 'Adorable" with a Capital A man!!!!! However, it can be hair-tearing too! On the first night, I walked to the girls' dorm and said a night prayer with them before they turned in. They were so well behaved, when I opened the door, they were all in their sleeping bags with just a couple who were still trying to get ready.

Suhui: Goodnight girls!
Girls: Goodnight... (they sounded like angels)
Suhui: Sweet dreams!
Girls: Sweet dreams.. (they really sounded super sweet)
Suhui: Love ya.
Girsl: Love ya too! (Aw... they are just such darlings right?)
The moment I walked out of the dorm, there was barely any noise.

So I walked to the boys' dorm and did likewise.
The boys din reciprocate much espcially the part on 'love ya' haaa... but a few did and I thought that was very endearing to hear some of the little ones said it. :) Just when I thought they were quite angelic, the moment I walked out, I could hear boys shouting and a couple of them hoping around in their sleeping bags and yes! I did see pillows flying ahhh! Give me a break! And thats just the first night...

What moved me the most?
The encounter with Zoe and the visit to the Old Folks home that afternoon impacted me a great deal. It left me feeling very grateful of the love and salvation that I have from my Abba Father. It also moved me to tears as I worshipped that night when I was singing about the love of God. Cos I felt so burdened for them who has yet known Jesus. Who has yet been embraced by that Agape love. Life is just different with Jesus. What can I do about it? What should I do about it?

Special Thanks to:

Adora - Thanks for volunteering to help out in the camp though you do not have to. But through it, I see that you have great talents in being a PC. :) So the next rhema ok? Haaaaa Btw, that laughter is just classic. Did anyone tell you that?

Melissa - I love that smile of yours cos it just brightens up my day. Er... dun let Lester's notie comments affect you k? With braces, you still look sweet. *Winks

Lester - I saw how you attempted to handle our MR ADHD and I am very proud of you! Good training ground for patience. Did I tell you that the more vegetables you eat, the more patience you would have? Try... *grins* BTW, the hip hop dance was just FANTA-bulous! I like! :)

Bradley - Who thinks Bradley is a great usher raise your hand! WOW did you see that whole congregation raising their hands? :) Great job Bradley! I like that passion when I saw you serve in the ushering ministry. keep that up!

Kunjie - Kun Jie haaaa...thanks for contributing your best even when you had to contribute to both ushering and the main com as well. I guess it aint easy but you juggled well. Thanks for sacrificing that night when you had to stay at level 3 to stop people from moving into the Gallery while the rest of us could have supper. :) Appreciate that.

Sheryl - The old folks' home programme was nicely planned and thanks for working late into the night to get the songs and chords out on time. :) Hey, really do pray about that ministry k? I am excited for you.

JunHui - Gosh! You did fantastic when you were explaining to the old folks about the games. Speaking in hokkien wahhh!!! Not easy. You did Terrrrrrrriiiiific! I saw the way you interacted with the Gong gongs and Por pors too, its very heartwarming. :)

Grace - Thank you for doing up the 'exam script" with such precision. It looked so REAL. GOSH! haa. Next time maybe you can help me set my papers. Kekeke.

LGOM.

tSo many things happened within just a week. How tired do I feel from a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being totally zonked out? 11. But why am I stil so awake now? I guess the prep for LGOM has trained me well. The past week I could only hit the bed at 3 plus 4am. Finally, its over...

LGOM was such a great performance, everyone gave great comments about the entire show, we had 29 salvations and 8 were interested to know more, how ashamed did I feel when I learnt of the salvations? VERY. Cos I nearly wanted to give up; I wanted to wave goodbye to it when there were just too many valid and substantial reasons to do so from an event planner's point of view. One thing I truly learnt from this, is, TRUST. Trust God and not my own judgment. God works beyond weaknesses, flaws and imperfections. He brings about solutions to every problems. It was truly a miracle to have this show brought to past. It was the very hands of GOd that carried us through.

During each rehearsal as I hear (since I was always at the back stage) my story being told, I would be near tears. I would recall the night when the incident happened and it never fails to remind me of God's faithfulness to me and His promise that He never sleeps. I would then, feel very comforted and encouraged cos I know that God Shamars over me and my family 24/7.

As I look back now, I thank GOd for allowing me to go through that situation cos that TESTING has become a TESTIMONY.

The whole committee has really been into this one word thingy to describe how we felt each time we gathered for warm ups or debriefs and my one word now is - Blessed.

To the committee who have worked very hard:
Jasmine my LehBAH (labour) pal
"Jas, what shall we do if....?"
"Jas, do you think we should...?"
"Jas, could you help me...?"
"Jas, how do we...?"

Hey Jas, thanks for answering my thousand and one questions over the months Oops! I meant year. Ha. You've been a great mentor as you guide me through the role of a SM. Thank you for always being so assuring and patient with me. I have really enjoyed working with you cos you are so ZAI (3) I mean, wah nothing sways you man. I like! Haaa. With you as a partner, the load seemed lighter, Thanks. Some day, we shall hang out for our 'only 2 of us sandwich Lunch a dunch dunch" ok? Oh yeah!

Victor the TICKLISH feather
Hey, Victor, you never fails to make me laugh man. Esp when you act GAY. GOSH! How real could it get? Haaa. Thank you for the teabags btw, I was very comforted when I saw them. :) But hor, the eye bags are still there!!?! Haa....Thank you for being so dedicated to the production. It was infectious. :)

Joel the BGL Director
Music and sound - Joel
Write script - Joel

Without further elaborations I am sure you know what BGL stands for.

Btw, though I have said it to you but I shall say it again, the music was really beautiful. Continue to shine for God with your talents man!

Yvonne the Visionary Director
Thank you for being visionary and encouraged us to move on when we all felt so unmotivated. You saw what I missed as you looked beyond the state that we were in months ago while we were preparing for the production. You saw the production with eyes of faith. I need to learn that. :) I guess without that leading, there would be no 29 salvations today. :) Thank you. Meanwhile enjoy mummy-hood. You have a really lovely baby there. :)

Wei-Kurk the ONE WORD Director
"With one word describe how you feel now?"
Thank you for coming in to help us out at the very last minute.
One word to describe you - Meticulous.

Flynn the "OK CAN but wait, er...let me check the expenses first" PM
Does that sound familiar? Heeehee. Thank you for helping me out with the printing of the survey forms and bothered to go the extra mile to help me 'fight' for better quality paper to be printed and all. I really appreciate it as I know how difficult it is to work within a certain budget given. Thank you for the lovely crew t-shirt. That was very thoughtful.

Jeanie my baby and Barnabas
Thank you for working so hard in this committee even amidst your exams. I guess it was not easy to make a choice to remain in the production when we learnt that the exam period clashes with the production. :) Proud of you as I saw how you continued to work positively on the publicity ideas even when negative remarks were given to you. :) Thanks for the sweets btw, but of course a pint of Haagen would be nice, or 2 pints would be better. Ha...Ha..

Dylan the Builder
It was a beautiful set you've got for us there and thank you for always availing your help throughout the prep for this production. Thank you for your mirror, doggy paw gloves (I still dun believe you wore that to zouk!?!) and of course the every ounce of energy you put in each time you put the stage up and putting it away. SHIONG MAN! Thanks for doing them with a smile. :)

XiuQING Our Project RUNWAY manager
Thanks for putting so much thoughts into what the actors and actoresses should wear. The first day when we met, the magazine cut outs were amazingly impressive *wink.

To all OSCARs Winners:
You guys really deserve an OSCAR MAN! Heee.. :)
Singers can sing, dancers can dance, you guys are definitely many times better than Zhang ZI YI. I mean.. erm can someone tell me who she is in the first place? Haa Some actoress right? Alright that doesnt matter. Thank you guys for being so cooperative with me each time I send out the schedules or make amendments to them.

Amanda, thanks for staying up til 2 plus with me that morning to work through the gospel links even though your were totally zapped dry, energy-less and sleepy. Enjoyed our little chat though, it was a good catch up. *wink. Btw, your super mega memory really amazes me. :)

Fabia, eh cut an album la! I Buy! :) Need a manager? Haaa

Simon, next time dun be notie and walk out with that beer can ok? *shakes head* Haa I nearly died when I saw you walked out to stage with that on our final rehearsal. What went on in my head? 'would somebody just kill me..." ha.
Eating Hor Fun with portion of a paper box. How can I forget?

Joen, can I ask a question that I have been dying to ask? So the 'mountain' still there or not? Are you on safe grounds now?

Gary, your acting was very convincing. :)

Huifen, next time we can wear the same kind of pyjamas and take pictures k? Ha.

Serene, aiyo GOSH! How cute la! I will never forget you with the little blue dress. :)

Audrey, I know it has been tough trying to come for each rehearsal with your heavy work load. :) Appreciate you. :) Eh Lian, Tea Lance someday? *raise brows* grins*

Daniel, Joel and Lester, I am just so blessed to have you guys as stagehands. Thank you for being willing to help even at a last minute request. Had lots of fun with you guys at the backstage. Joel, see you soon at YA. :)

Cynthia, you were missed at the debrief after the production. Hope to see you soon at the reunion. :)

*Yawns* Its 4am and Suhui needs to sleep...

"...How then shall they call upon Him..."

Attended Catherine's and Horace's wedding today. Besides the romance, sumptuous food and some interesting pulpit insights *raise brows + grins*, what really struck me today was when I saw Cat's relatives. They sat at the front row and as they witnessed the entire ceremony, I witnessed how they were listening attentively to the preaching from 1 John about the love of God. It was a great encouragement to me cos I saw how the seed I planted years back bore fruits today. If I had not shared the gospel with Cat then she would not have come to know the Lord. If she hasn't then she would not have held a wedding in church today and if she hasn't then her relatives would not have had the opportunity to even hear a little about Jesus and His Great Love.

I thank God for the person who shared the gospel with me 14 years ago. Still remember that it was at clementi with a bridge to life tract. That lady seemed to be from NUS Campus Crusade (vaguely). My salvation came to past cos someone shared and my sister prayed. Such a beautiful cycle. Whats the moral of the story? We pray to see God brings salvations to Earth. We share cos God chooses to partner with us.

Time to work on that cycle.
Rom 10:14-15.

Whatssup This December?!

Have your December/s been boring, lifeless, totally not satisfactory? Let Rhema and Let Go of Me bring you some Oooooooooh La LA-ness! Have you not heard? Have you not seen? Let me introduce the 2 events that my church is going to have this coming December.

1. Let Go of Me Production Heard me saying about my 1 year prep for this production? Yup! TA DAH! This IS it! How exciting. :) The production consists of 5 true stories that some of the young adults in my church had gone through. Real people, Real struggles, Real Stories, Real Victories. How REAL can it get? You just gotta be there to be one Real audience to testify *wink*. It is a brilliantly written play as the directors and scriptwriter meticulously put together the stories. It is one that should not be missed. Call me to get the tickets. By the way, this play is specially written for viewers between the age of 15 to 25. Yeah!!! See you there.

2. Rhema Conference
Wanna learn Hip Hop for free? Are you into learning how to sing like a nightingale? Or simply just a sports Fanatic? This conference is for you at NO cost! Wow! What are you waiting for? Sign up today. Check out the brochure for more info. You can download the registration form, fill it in and then drop me an email. Or simply give me a ring to find out more.

What Makes Me Smile...

We had our Seashore Life program today. The whole school was mobilized to pick litters @ the East Coast Park. The children were so excited, especially for some of them who newly joined the school and have never seen the sea before. Shocked? Me too...*sigh. The photographer's camera went low batt and so soowei went to the rescue haa with my 2.0 megapixel phone. *wink* I think the photos turned out alright. Children are just naturally photogenic. Managed to capture some lovely ones...

Canal.

Boys being boys, thought they were supposed to pick litters. So thats how the idea of a man-made canal comes about. :)

"Hey Nemo, you in there?"

So many of them had their shoes wet cos they went so near the sea when the tide comes on. They went 'Oh - oh' and then continued playing with their shoes on??! Kids. :)

Masterpiece.
Girls, somewhat, would ver often do the more sane things.

Favorite Pic of the day.
Let me present to you Hasmul, one of my sugar rocks.

ENCORE!

Hey guys! Our TYLER Creasman is on Youtube! AHHH . Check it out! So farnie! Tyler is one of our SEC 1s btw. ENCORE!

Singlish Security Lecture

8.30am INPUT @ Tanglin Mall Mac.

Doesn't that sound so familiar? Tanglin Mall Mac almost become our second home huh? Frankly, I am so sick of MAC haa...anyway, congratulations my dearest CMs!!! This 'torture' has finally come to an end. Except for a couple of you who will be seeing me for the teaching input *wink* No worries, now the new coffee shop place is so much better isn't it? Keke.

To all my CMs: Thank you for standing along side with me the past year. Even though you were tired, you did not give up. I thank you for your dedications; the amount of time, effort and prayers put in to nurture our young ones. Thank you for being so cooperative with me and that is truly a blessing. Though we are going our seperate ways in terms of ministry but I pray that you'll continue to believe in our young ones and speak postively into their lives with the truth of GOd. So that one day they might grow and bear much fruits and be that person you are in Christ. I pray that you'll continue to be that gardener-teacher for Jesus; sow, prune and nurture.

Why God Made Teachers
By Kevin William Huff

When God created teachers,
He gave us special friends
To help us understand His world
And truly comprehend
The beauty and the wonder
Of everything we see,
And become a better person
With each discovery.

When God created teachers,
He gave us special guides
To show us ways in which to grow
So we can all decide
How to live and how to do
What's right instead of wrong,
To lead us so that we can lead
And learn how to be strong.

Why God created teachers,
In His wisdom and His grace,
Was to help us learn to make our world
A better, wiser place.

Boys, the 'retard' picture doesn't look like one lor.. but good try. LOL

Ben, Anna and Sheryl, you were missed. :)

Helen.

The semester is coming to an end so I wanted to buy some nice VCDs for my kids. Went to TS today and this particular VCD caught my eyes, "Helen the Baby FOx". I bought it for 2 reasons, it seemed like a show with good values and interestingly I just think that that fox looks like mao mao. :)

Each time the little boy in the show cried, I cried. Its not a sad show but rather a nice and heartwarming one that leaves you with much thoughts after watching it. Check out the music and of course, if you really wanna know what this show is about you can come borrow the VCD from me. Here's a review on it.

Food was great, thanks Esther and Joel for preparing them. Company was great and Cher was missed. Nvm Cher, you are coming back for Christmas and CNY righto? *wink* I guess the bbq was a good time to unwind after a hectic week. But do you know what's the highlight of the whole party? It was --------------> M.A.O. M.A.O Oh yeah... Mao Mao.

We were first strangers cos I din even dare to touch it, then we became acquaintance... I was so afraid that it would bite me or kick me or I don't know what else it would do to me... But it din and so I began to trust her and we soon became...

Happy Birthday, Sam. :)

'6 1/2' stairway

Couple of weeks back, got the chance to meet up with my primary school friends. Wah those were the days man. Catherine and Xiufeng, were the very friends who walked back home with me from school. Catherine and I especially shared alot when we were young and of couse she was my snack-all-the-time friend. The usual time we meet would actually be 8pm after the 7pm drama haaa gosh I could still remember. :) We would often take our aunty-looking purse and shop at the then, we considered as the best shopping mall - our downstairs ECON minimart. hur hur...

So where did we hang out? I lived on the 8th floor and Cat lived on the 5th. To be fair and square, we would hang out on the '6 1/2' stairway at our block. We really did. Even as I typed, I recalled the times we would snack, laughed and snacked and talked and snacked and snacked... no wonder I was in TAF club then. All these snacking tsk tsk...

As we moved on to secondary school, we each head our own ways but we still hang out once in a while at the '6 1/2' stairway. After I became a christian, I led Catherine to Christ as well. She grew despite her strong family opposition. I salute you, sister! :) It was so tough for her. She is one strong lady who pulled through it all with the strength of God. I saw how the Lord brought about the silver linings into her life and today I am just so happy that she found her true love and is getting married next in a couple of weeks time. "Congratulations... in celebration...Lalalala" Forgot the lyrics. haaa. :)

Catherine, its going to be an exciting journey as you walked down the aisle and continue your journey with a Godly life partner who loves you and am sure would support you. Praying that as you take time to prepare for this big day, you would enjoy counting the blessings that Lord had poured into your life. :) See you real soon pretty one, breathe and dun be stressed out. Its going to be a beautiful wedding. *wink*


Catherine, Xiufeng and Soowei @ Sakae, Westmall.



Wah! How pretty can we get man? Haaaa


Don't see Xiufeng fair fair, dainty dainty (though she really is..) this girl is in the navy man! Don't play play...


GOtcha! Candid shot! Congratulations once again Cat!!! :)

Vrooom Vroom...

Hectic! These last 3 weeks of school is so hectic. I was being emailed a TABLE of deadlines...ie. deadlines for these 3 weeks that are being presented in a table form. WHY? Cos there are just too many deadlines to fit into a one or two-liner. Anyway, amidst this hectic schedule, I thank God that I had some fun today. I sat on my colleague's bike. Wooooooo lala! How cool right? The both of us looked PRETTY Unglam with the orrr bit bit helmets. But thank God for the cheap thrill... Daddy chided me off for sitting on a bike today ... looking forward to the next ride... YEeeeeee HA!

So who is TOMMY?

Right! I forgot all about introducing him. Ha. Went for a Tommy Emmanuel concert and this guy was just amazing. I totally enjoyed almost every bit of his music. Some are just a little to zen for me but still impressive. There is just this particular one - Stay Close to Me, which made me teared. It was such beautiful music. Check this guy out on his official website. BREATHtaking! He plays the guitar like a piano man! Note for notes... when the guitar is in his hands, it seemed like no music was impossible. Wah! I was so impressed! Nothing beats seeing it live! Johann, next year front row! ;) Thanks for introducing. :)

God Loves Variety.

For you. :)

Was reading a book while on my way to Tommy's concert. Who's Tommy? Will introduce him a little later *grins* Pastor Kieran gave me that book some time in Jul and sadly, I could only get started on it yesterday. Came across this sentence that went, "....God loves variety..." Eims went on to illustrate on that point as he brought his readers to the way Jesus selected His 12 disciples. He was talking about how God chooses ORINDARY people for ministry. He chose people with differences; different personalties and giftings etc. If we were to take a closer look at his disciples, we really do see alot of differences. Eg. Simon the Zealot hated the Romans but Matthew the tax collector worked for them. Men from different walks of life, men who have different level of faith in God etc.

Life is so boring without variety. Isn't it? Different seasons in our lives spices things up too. We learn to appreciate the various seasons though at times we might think that winter is so cold but imagine the fun we can have with snow. Why on earth is Summer so hot? But Oooo... imagine the boyenberries, strawberries and wah lalala cherries!!!!

Who cares if you are a Sanguine, Choleric, Phelgmatic or Melancholic? OR Why am I so loud? Why am I so task-oriented? How come I so Bo chub huh? Oh man! Why am I sad again? :) Temperament doesn't define you, God does! And like David says in Psalm 139, "...for I am fearfully and wonderfully made..." In essence, let's appreciate how the Lord has created us and learn to accept the way that we are made and then constantly moving towards becoming more like Jesus.

You are not alone on this METAMORPHOSIS journey, many are and I am too...God loves variety and I love you :)

Divine Opportunity? See it? GRAB it!

Many a times I overlooked what God has placed in my life for His purpose because of how hectic my life could be. However this year, God has trained me in this area rather specifically, and I am still learning not to wait for opportunities to share agape (unconditional) love with people instead, I look out for God's divine opportunity for me each day to do that.

Don't you ever ask:
Why am I here at where I am...?
How come there are like a million and one people and yet you could meet a certain group of people / particular person somewhere, some time?
Why do you see what you see and hear what you hear?

The world defines it as coincidence! I would define it as God's divine opportunity. Nothing escapes God's hands and sight. That is how Soverign He is - in every aspect!!

The past week, I did PSLE paper 1 marking at a neighbourhood school and Jurong and my grandma lives just opposite it. The first day, I mislooked the opportunity. By the second day, I asked God, "hey why was I sent here and not anywhere else?" I believed it was the Lord who reminded me about my grandma. I called her on Monday night and said that I would be popping by on Tues afternoon for lunch. As expected, she was thrilled.

For the next couple of days, I made it a point to eat with her during lunch since I had a 1 hour lunch break. Instead of joining my friends, I decided to visit ah-ma. We had good chats, though I listened more than I spoke since I am really lousy with my hokkien. Why would I say this is a divine opportunity? Cos grandma isn't a believer yet and grandma and I are not naturally close. I wanted to bridge that gap, I wanted her to feel GOd's love and know that Jesus existed before all else that she believed in.

When I was there, I was pleasantly surprised by all that she cooked for me. Simple dishes with extravagant effort and love. I think I would have so regretted it if I did not grab the opportunities to bond with her and let it just slip me by. Whats my joy at the end of the day? When I thanked ah-ma for cooking for me, she went, "come back tomorrow, I'll cook you something else." Its not mainly the food but rather, her looking fwd to seeing me again. With these couple of hours I laid a brick of the 'bridge'. Its worthwhile.

Xiaoli's 10/10.

She made it! :) Just before school started, she came to me and asked me to test her all the spelling words. I was so thrilled to see that she could spell every word! WOW! What an achievement!!! Check out the way she spelled "Friday". She could not even get that right but she managed to get all 10 spelling words correct. Truly FANTASTIC! Ooooooooo lala! Going to Zap it and put it on the board of honour!

That Roller Coaster Ride.

Anyone tell you that teachers are very often placed on a roller coaster ride? Here I would mean emotionally. At a split second, you could shift from being angry to a smile. From a grin to near tears. Today I was on that ride.

Haowen and Nasirah
They fought and I had to speak with them during recess to do conflict resolution. Tough but I could feel how God led me to ask them appropriate questions that got them thinking. They made up and Haowen offered Nasirah tissue while she sobbed. Rather heart warming when you see children made up. They too have their pride but they are just more forgiving and magnanimous as compared to us adults.

Xiaoli
She is one of my weakest pupil in class and for a period of time I noticed that she kept scoring 0 out of 10 for spelling and just a month back i got her to study just 3 instead of 10 words for spelling and if she gets all of them correct, she still gets her star. Apparently, that worked! She studied for those 3 words and have been getting her stars. Today I went through the spelling list again and told her that this time I would increase it to 5 words for her. Her smile from afar assures me that she was going to study hard for it. Just before the class ended, this was what she said:

"Miss Sim, I try the 10 words can?"

I was pleasantly surprised by her enthusiasm. Just after supplementary, she came to me again and this time she said:

"If I get 9 marks can?"

I know that she wasn't confident and so I told her:

"I am sure you can get 10. But even with 9, it is a great achievement!"

This got me quite happy knowing that my children want to learn, to excel and has the desire to know more.

Cecilia
Just a couple of minutes later I had a talk with Cecilia and that got me down a little. Just before supplementary, this girl was found crying outside class while the rest of her friends were seated in class getting ready for lesson. I went out to class and asked her to come in but from her unusual sobbing i somehow gather that she fears to walk into class. I said, "come with me. I will protect you!" She followed on.

After class, she mentioned that the class accused her of doing something and no one believes her when she tried to explain. With a mere, " i believe you", her sobbing stopped.

Then I noticed cane marks on her hands. I probed and she shared. Its the first time she spoke so much. But after hearing, I realised I can no longer say, "Come I protect you." anymore. I can't. Its beyond me. I realised my limitations and I wished I could do more.I prayed.

"Missing?"

Cecilia strikes 3! This time she was mild, but I guess proper correction should still be done. Brought her to the office after school and she was really guilty of what she did in class just a couple of minutes ago. After all the talking...

Soowei: So Cecilia, what are your thoughts? What do you have to say?

Cecilia: Sorry Mis sing (miss sim)

Soowei: My dear, I am still here, I am not Missing. I am Miss Sim. :)

We both laughed.

One of the most beautiful worship experience.

Today I had fun with Norman and Joey as they educated me on PIRACY. Gosh!! We are just so much in it that I dun even know it. Anyway it was fun just having these guys around. Each of them is funny and with both of them, HILARIOUS is the word. :)

Whats it got to do with the Blog title? WORSHIP experience? With them? Nah..During Youth Service? NAh... During YA yesterday? Nah... All were good but about 5 minutes ago, I truly had one of the most beautiful worship experience. Not alone! Not just with GOD! But together with my MUM!!!! Since the time we came back from the Malacca trip, I openly asked her if she would like to join me in worship. How did I do that? I picked up my guitar, strum the chord and began singing and told her to join in. With the limited chinese songs and chords that I know, I could only play 真真好. This went on for quite some time.

Tonight was just different, the Lord brought to my remembrance the song 我要赞美耶和华. I realised I know the chords and so I just medley it with the 真真好 and finally ended with the simple 'Hallehlujah' song. So why was it beautiful? Cos my mum worshipped. She raised her hands!!!! When the song went, " ...我高举双手宣扬..." I could not believe it. Though, by the time we reached the 3rd song she started walking around, its ok... I prayed and spoke in tongues while she was walking. Thank God for His marvelous work. Do I hear salvation ringing? YES i do!

Do you know them?

Princess 1.
Princess 2.

Princess 3

Zayan.

I have a mildly audistic boy in my class and everyone loves Zayan now even though it din start off that way at first. :) He is such a pleasant boy, I mean he has problems with his school work but never with behavioural or attitude. When I first took Zayan, he scores 2 or less out of 10 for spelling. Because of his condition, I make a conscious effort to affirm him in every little thing that he does well in.

I gave him a certificate for being the most determined boy in class. He is! During one of the Art classes, they were told to draw a picture based on the theme of 'Environment'. After an hour, all kids handed in but Zayan was still drawing. He can't finish not because he was slow, rather, he was being meticulous. He drew every little details. I sent that picture in for competition. He was beaming with this wide grin on his face when he received that cert from the Principal. I was so proud of him.

Each time he reads aloud for the class, I would praise him though there are many words that he can't read well. But he is praised for the words that he can read. :) I din really think very much about the way i handle him to have such impact on the rest of my kids until that day when Zayan stood and he managed to read a paragraph, WOW!! the class applauded for him. There was also another incident when i saw that they were having PE lesson and the teacher told them to jump over a hurdle. When Zayan jumped over, the whole class cheered. When did my class become so encouraging? What happened to all the "stupid you" and "shut up la"? Did I know that encouragment is infectious? Now I know. :)

Today, I was marking their spelling book and as I was marking Zayan's book I couldn't believe my eyes, he scored 10 out of 10. I awarded a star and wrote, "SUPER JOB!" Just then I took a second glance and I realised one of the words was mispelt. So he had 9 out of 10 instead. I changed the marks but the star was still there. Who says that only pupils with full marks can get a star? :)

1st week of the month.

Every first week of the month is very often the most challenging week for me because there are just so many happenings on weekday nights. Production rehearsal, RL mtg and Prayer and Power night. Not that I dread them but I do feel the strain physically as i move through the week. Thank God that from next year on RL meeting will be on 2nd week. :) This week I am extremely tired, not as efficient in my work. However, amidst all, its still a great week cos of all these:

1. Surprise by Cheryl Baby and Johann + Pint of Haagen
In my most unglam moment, I had 2 visitors. I was halfway cleaning up after dinner in my pyjamas when these 2 notie ones knocked on my door. GOSH! However, I was so blessed by the HAagen.. haa nah, its by their companion. The haagen is great but they were the bonus. :)

2. Prayers.
I had so many people coming to me this week asking me for my prayer requests and some even prayed with me. I really appreciate it, I guess God just know when I need warriors to stand by me. Its really so many!!! Haaaa

3.RL meeting.
Do you know going for RL meeting is such joy? COs Suhui just let her hair down and be herself. Not that I am usually not but I behave slightly different when i am with a pool of leaders, i become the kid. Haaa... I wonder what makes me so hyper... Audrey, it could really be you. *wink* Actually, we all become kids when we come together BUT actually I think I can't beat them.

Look at how cheeky our dearest Liying smiled. Haaaa.... I think she is super CUTE. If there is a program call "超级 Super Cute", I will send her there. 　

Know what these girls were doing previously prior to my signal of "cut it out"? They were pretending to be super studious and working real hard. They expect me to take that studious pose lor. GOSH. Haaa .They are hilarious.

This picture is the only one that shows us doing some work. But its cos we FOUND a Sony Clie. Til today we still dun know whose is it. Anyone lost one? RLs = Random leaders? Haaa

Here! Our spiritual mother! Pastor Cuicui. See! Even she becomes a little berserk when she is with us. Guess at the end of the day who is the most sane one? ME! *grins*
