hey
wanna share what God showed me during worship of grads' caregroup
God showed me 2 towers, one made of cards, another made of bricks.
when the wind and storm came, the tower of cards fell immediately, while the tower of bricks stood firmly.
God wants to remind us, that we should be like the tower of bricks, that stands firm and strong in the midst of problems, and not like the tower of cards that is so weak.
let's be like the tower of bricks!
yeah!

Time left?
11:50 AM - Thursday, October 30, 2008
Yeah, it's me, irene kam, finally. Haha.
Anyway, yesterday went to watch high school musical yea.
Worth watching it. hahaha.
Anyway, ytd night, my sister have a chat with me about my r/s with God & how's my spiritual life.
Yup, I realised that, I had been in the Family of God for 9 months, and what have I done during these 9 months? I had really been slacking all these while.
I really MUST MUST MUST find at least a sheep by end of nov!
Last time I keep thinking that how come God does not give me visitors, and somehow I did blame on God, sometimes.
But my sister told me that, I must think deep.
why God does not give me visitiors? There are reasons for that.
Maybe my spiritual life is not good enough, then if it is not good enough, how would God place a sheep under me?
Or, it is a test from God. maybe God wants to test me that even i do not have any visitors,
will i continue to evax?
yup, I think that I must check it out how's my spiritual life going before I want to have a sheep.
I believed that God will pour down harvest someday, and it's going to happen!
We must trust, and wait on His timing, becGod is always punctual, NEVER late!
amen!
I really really believed that east a2 will grow very very soon!!
For that to happen, we need to do our part!
God will blessed a imperfect church, but not a disunited church!
Really, there's not much time left. & I really hope that we will use every min & sec!
One min passed, means passed, we can't turn back the clock.
So, if we do our best, God will do the rest. amen?

Guess who am I?
9:26 PM - Wednesday, October 29, 2008
Guess who am I?
I'm Melody Khoo
Highlight to see the answer. Hehee...
I'm here to share something God has just blessed me.
I'm actually buying a bass guitar online, and I just made a deal. And the price of it is $200.
And of course, I lack of 50 bucks!!!
When my dad is home, I asked him whether he can lend me $50. And he ignored me. Then I asked my brother... However, he has something crop up.
After that, I went to my room sat down at the edge of my bed and prayed.
My prayer is this...
God, I really need that 50 bucks to buy that bass guitar. So when I ask my dad again, please give me a yes or some good answer.
In Jesus name,
Amen.
After the prayer, I went to ask my dad again. And this time, he ignored me again. I walked to my room and sat at the edge of my bed again. And guess what?!?!?!
My dad came in and pass to me the 50 bucks and close the door. I walked out and told him I will return him one day.
I think that he is thinking when that day will come. Haha...
Let's grow!
9:00 PM
Caregroup today, we had around 6 friends joining us. Yayyyy :D 4 from eastview, 2 from poiching. hahaha!

God Is Like A Glass Bridge and HE ROCKS MY LIFE
7:45 PM - Tuesday, October 28, 2008
heyo! today has been such a great day! all thanks to God
didn't regret at all coming for this morning's qt
wanna share what God spoke to me
while i was worshipping God, God showed me a glass, transparent bridge across two high cliffs way above the clouds. its a very beautiful picture and the bridge is so wow.
i saw us, crossing the bridge, and when we did, some of started started to see what's below the bridge and got scared afraid of falling in.
but we can be secured that though we can see what we may fall in, the bridge will still hold us and let us walk across the bridge safely.
God is like that bridge, though sometimes we see what we may fall in - our problems, struggles, sin - but we can be assured that God will never let us fall in. though we may not always feel, see or hear Him, we must know that He will never let go of us, Never let us fall and will always come to save us!
this is confirmed in [Isaiah 35:3-4]
3 Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; 4 say to those with fearful hearts,
"Be strong, do not fear;
your God will come,
he will come with vengeance;
with divine retribution
he will come to save you."
God is our Saviour, there's no reason for us to be afraid, because "he will come to save" us! yeah! also, i wanna share a great testimony to you all!
today is my History Olevel paper. i was very tensed up this morning when i got to school, because i'm afraid that i can't finish my paper, as always. i've never finish any History paper before, i'll always either leave 1 SEQ or SBQ question blank. before the exam, i prayed that God will help me, and let me write fast. and true enough, God is faithful! I FINISH THE WHOLE PAPER!! WHOO! and not only that, i'm totally satisfied with what i wrote. all the key points and elaborations just flowed into my head like running water. its like God is my tap of knowledge filling my head with His knowledge! AWESOME! PRAISE GOD!!
i feel so shiok!!
GOD ROCKS

8:56 PM
Hey, yay i've got a testimony to share. Even thou it may be a small lil prayer, but god works wonders in our daily life AMEN?
Yesterday, i went to suntann with shushan, the weather didnt appeared good as we thought. Black clouds came, there weren't any sun. So we went there with a heart expecting nothing. We sat down at the chair, and we kinda doze off. haha. Then i was telling shushan, let's pray for the sun to shine once again. So we prayed, and we pray and tell god, Give us 1 hour of sunlight, so we'll be able to tann. So after we pray, we decided to go for a swim. After the swim, apparently God is so so so awesome. The sun came out, and it's very HOT :D And we manage to tann. Yay.
All praises goes out to god! woohoo. God has been so real in my life, thru prayers etc.
I believe, even a small lil prayer, if you perserver on, God will definately bless you abundantly.
It's the same for our school. I believe god will blesss real soon, As long as we continue to pray and fast for our school. Our hardwork will be rewarded! :D So let's continue to jia you for JUNYUAN AND EASTVIEW! yay.
with love
DUMBEST yushan :D

Love is...
11:39 PM - Wednesday, October 22, 2008
you know everyone seeks love, from family, from friends, even from the opposite gender.
like you hear so many love songs in so many different languages.
the most frequent question asked in the world is "What is Love?"
i think this chapter sums it all up.
1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing. 4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
love is so important in all of our lives.
besides love from our family, our friends, our boyfriends, we also have love from God whether we know it or not.
God is love. God is the source of all love!
we all need love, so meaning, we all need God!
without God, we are nothing!
share with you all a cool way to remember this[my friend taught me]:
C H R I S T I A N - CHRIST = IAN
= I Am Nothing
yeah man! God is and always will be the person we'll ever need!
let's not forget about Him

1:07 AM - Monday, October 20, 2008
alright seriously it ain't very nice for ahbe's camera to be with me , cos i nearly died of heart attack today...
i'll say briefly what happen.. haha
basically we borrowed the camera for the photoshoot for our ECG video and yesterday we had half the filming and shootings done , yay ! =D so this morning i was happily looking through the photos and walking around my house ( k actually i went to the toilet ) , and then i left the camera at one safe place of my toilet and i went to pee... ( at this moment , i don't remember if i took the camera out of the toilet )
i was about to leave home to go nexus and the water baptism place to meet sirui.. and vividly i remembered placing the camera into my bag... thinking to myself that my bag's full of gadgets =D i reached YWCA and we gathered at the auditorium to play games.. because joy was so funny , we all wanted to take photos of her . i searched my bag and to my horror , there's NO camera ! i thought it was a prank made by my eyes so i started ransacking my bag a few times , but there's still NO camera ! the bag's large enough that i could see everything inside it , but there's just no traces of the camera... i panicked and called home to ask my mum to search the house but she too said there's no signs of it... i pyschoed myself that the camera must be at home and made a few prayers to God here and there .
soon after i went nexus and took the banner for ECG and set off for home . upon reaching home , i was expectant to see the camera lying at the safe compartment in the toilet but to no avail , i searched high and low but there's still NO camera ! ): i literally broke down and then God prompted me to search my bag for the last time , i opened my bag , took out the banner and
TADAA!! there the camera lay right in the bag and infront of my bare eyes !
my God... how can this be ? i mean... something that is obviously missing can re-surface and appear... to me that was totally miraculous, more than magical ! i can't deny the fact that God is real !!
He can make things that disappear to appear right before your eyes !
PRAYER WORKS , BUT IT TAKES FAITH TO BE ACCOMPANIED BY YOUR PRAYERS =Dno one rocks my world more than God , i love You God... You are my superhero ! MUACKS ! =D
with love,
denise tiffany =D
WE ALL HAVE POTENTIAL

WHAT IS
SEEN IS ONLY
TEMPORARY!
WHAT IS
UNSEEN IS
ETERNAL!!
just wanna remind all of us that even though we havent seen fruits after working so hard,
but we have to believe that this is only temporary.
we shouldnt just focus on the state our cg is in now, but let's focus on what our cg can become!
strong, biblical, faithfilled and so much more!
easta2 has so much potential!
the problems we face may be great, but that only means we will have greater miracles!
and greater miracles = greater growth!
remember,
when problems come, God will not lessen the size of the problems, but He will increase our faith!let's ask God for faith! ask God for strength! whatever we do, we can guarantee that we have God's backing!
let go and let God! yeah!
stand firm in all circumstances!
though i cant be with you all literally chionging and evaxing to win souls,
but i'm with each and every one of you in spirit!
JIAYOU EASTA2 non-grads!!
you all play a part in this journey!
love, jade
8:06 PM - Thursday, October 16, 2008
yay i wanna thank God for guiding me through my Chem and Physics Olevel practical paper!
yay! He really blessed me man!
usually i'm very clumsy in doing experiments, especially for chem de,
its like almost every practical session i will break a test tube, or i'll spill chemicals all over my paper and table, but none of that happened today. yay! God gave me steady hands!
and also i didn't have to redo the experiments, cause usually i have to also. either i couldnt get the results needed, or i spill the chemicals or accidentaly mix the wrong chemicals that i have to restart the whole experiment, the questions are usually interlinked.
and also thank God for giving me wisdom! i can answer the questions, though the chem paper is tricky. i did my best, the rest is in God's hands!
now to chiong for the other papers!
do it once and do it well!
hehe!

ahh i feel super duper burdened after today.
seriously there's not much time le, its our
FINAL lap to win junyuan and east view!
its now or never!
i really really wanna join you all in outreaching, in sow'ing, but stupid Olevels is restricting me!
i really can't study at ease knowing our group isnt growing.
when is the last time we saw converts in our group?when is the last time we even saw visitors for cg and service?its very very long already!
just now as i was praying to God, He dropped me this burdened for the school.
some of you might say its like the wrong timing to have a burdened for the school when i'm in the midst of mugging for my Os. i don't know if it is or not, but i really wanna do something!
i can plan strategies or even outreach abit with you all, but ultimately, you all are the key holders of winning these 2 schools!
i can't do much, cause i gotta study as well even though i don't wanna!
i really don't want to study, i want to outreach and chiong cg08 with you guys!
if i have a choice, i rather be sec 2 now and chiong studies another time.
we've got to start sensing the urgency!!!
exams are over le, time to chiong for God!
you all can finally out studies aside first and chiong to win junyuan and east view for cg08!
c'mon people, no time to waste!
when we give our all, God will pour!!
JUNYUAN AND EAST VIEW CAN BE, MUST BE, WILL BE WON!!!believe it man!

11:01 PM
HELLO easta2.
Today's district caregroup is so cool! For those who have miss out, i'm here to update you all.
What dennis says today, ulitmately is that we should get our relationship with god back on track again. For those who aren't doing well, aren't walking well with god, let's take a day to really spend time with god. Let's not compromise, but let's do it k! If we take one step to get closer to god, he'll run towards you. So let's take the first step to draw closer to god.
Secondly is that, after we get our relationship back with god, we ought to start to do god's work. Yeah, Our easta ECG is coming up soon! It's called LOVE ACTUALLY.
Let's really make use of everytime in school to outreach, to share the love of god and to invite our friends/juniors/classmates or anyone to this ECG alright? Let's do whatever it takes to invite them. Holidays are approaching, and there won't be much chance for us to outreach in school, so let's make full use of this 1 and half week or so to outreach k!
Let's really see JUNYUAN AND EASTVIEW VISITORS FOR UPCOMING ECG!
CHIONG AH EASTA2.
Lastly, i want to say is that. I believe most of you have receive your results right. Why not let's give thanks to god, no matter what results we get k. God has a perfect plan for everyone of us. Don't condemn yourself for not doing well, but let's give thanks to god.
<3 yushan
2:54 PM

More Than We Deserve
11:28 PM - Friday, October 10, 2008
hey! just wanna share what i learnt from my QT.
[Ezra 9:13-15]
"What has happened to us is a result of our evil deeds, and our great guilt, and yet, our God,
You have punished us less than our sins have deserved and have given us a remnant like this.
Shall we again break Your commands and intermarry with the peoples who commit such detestable practices? Would You not be angry enough to destroy us, leaving us no remnant or survivor?
O Lord, God of Israel, You are righteous! We are left this day as a remnant. Here we are before You in our guilt, though because of it not one of us can stand in Your presence."
all of us are so sinful, we did so many countless things that are evil in God's eyes. we disappointed Him many times committing the same sins over and over.
But despite all this, God treat us so much better than what we actually deserve.
By right, we are supposed to be destroyed and punished because of all the sins we've committed, instead, God treats us well. God still loves us so much no matter how much we hurt Him. i think that's very amazing.
None of us deserve to stand before Him, but yet God still longs for each and every one of us to draw nearer to Him.
if God does not love us, and is merciless, we would have suffered like mad by now.
the key is, God forgives and God forgets.
whatever sins we've done, big or small, a few times or a million times, as long as we repent and make effort to want to change, He will forgive, and put the matter behind Him.
Imagine the whole pile of matters that is behind Him by now.
thank God i'm not God, if not all of you will die in my hands. muahaha haha!
and also
[Ezra 10:4]
Rise up; this matter is in your hands. We will support you, so take courage and do it.
i think all of us should send this verse to our leaders often. no matter how cool or how amazing out leader is, she still needs our support. a little encouragement goes a long way.
its amazing how one word "jiayou" makes a difference. our encouragements and affirmations encourages them alot, and it will help them to strive on!
so let's support our leaders more, and show them we're in this with them. Yay!
- jade
God is Our PROTECTOR!
9:32 PM - Thursday, October 9, 2008
hey peeps!
today's cg Holy Communion was special and cool don't you think? well done shushan!
haha and i was reminded of something during that Holy Communion!
remember shushan told us to wrap the cross-shaped bread with aluminium foil, that was cool!
the cross-shaped bread represents us and the aluminium covering it is God.
the ribena poured on top of all the aluminium-covered bread is the sufferings and problems we face.
Let's always remember that
Jesus is always protecting us from all the sufferings and problems!
and though we do face problems sometimes[represented by the parts of the bread undercovered properly], He is the one that gets hit the most!
i wanna start seeing God as a protector, that though i face problems, He has it worst.
if there's no Him, i would have been hit so sooo soo much more that what i'm receiving now.
thank you God for sending Jesus to die on the cross, and from shielding us!
I LOVE GOD!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IRENE KOH AI LING KAREN AND SIM YUSHAN UMBRELLA
EA2 LOVE YOU =D HAHA SORRY WE HAVE A LAG COMPUTER =D
I AM WILLING
2:52 AM
THANKS A MILLION TO MELODY FOR HELPING ME UPLOAD THE VIDEO (:
before i begin , i would like all of you to watch the "i am willing" video if you haven't do so...
the video showcases certain parts from the movie " Ten Commandments " , it talks about Moses being called by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt however he felt inadequate and insecure because he do not know how and etc. Nevertheless, Moses despite feeling that he's not able knew that God's able and thus willing to be used by God. And because of his willingness, God did amazing things through him (eg. part the red sea). Many a times we might feel like Moses, feel inadequate, small, or even lousy but as long as we're willing to obey God's command, he can work through us and let His light shine through us. God is a gentle God, He'll not force His power through us if we ain't willing to let Him take full charge (: So in other words, when we're willing to obey God and be used by Him, God will add upon us things that we lack and cause us to be able to complete the task that we're set to do... He'll provide for our needs, needs needed to fulfil the task... =D
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
STUDY WELL PEOPLE =D
soon you'll enjoy while i'll suffer cos school's reopening while you girls can enjoy holidays teehee =D
with love ,
denise tiffany =D

no excuses
7:39 PM
whoa, sorry peeps, havent been online for the past few days, was feeling sick.
yeah. saturday service was awesome!
one thing i wanna really apply is to stop giving excuses in the things i'm called or supposed to do.
like studying. due to my laid back self, i often give excuses in putting off my time to study.
i'll give excuses like, "oh my favourite tv show is on, later.." or "aiya, headache, tomorrow then study.." and "hungry, i cant study on an empty stomach". this always ends off with me not having to study anything at all for that day.
i wanna stop this. jade, be disciplined!
and another area i give excuses is, is outreaching. sometimes because of fear, i give excuses to avoid having to evangelise on a certain person. i'll give comments like "huh? that girl like so scary, so unfriendly, don't want luh" and "that girl don't look like lower sec, think she's around sec 4, not our target, nah...". yes, i'm guilty!
but i repented and wanna change.
next time if i give excuses, smack me please!
thank you!

light on examination
8:39 PM - Friday, October 3, 2008
Enter the examination hall without any idea on what is the criterion or subject being tested is equivalent to running onto the battlefield without a rifle.
Exams can be said to be a constant in student’s life. It is an annual ordeal, but even more importantly, we must understand that it is allowed by God. Thus the question to ask is why are we being examined and what are we being examined about.
An examination is a test to see if we have acquired a certain level of proficiency in something. Thus the purpose of an examination is always to act as a gauge, both used by God and by man. (Meaning that the purpose is similar, but the standard of gauging may differ)
Already answering why we are being examined, now we need to answer what are we being examined on? We need to know what we are tested upon in order to pass; hence this is the important point. Schools examine our knowledge, God test our character. (I hate to use the word test as it seems to be an understated expression regarding the importance of passing the assessment, but people are often more familiar with God testing us.. so oh well..)
Understand this, God’s main aim is not out to make us smarter. After all, as I said before, knowledge of this world is of no value. In fact, we are merely discovering what God has concluded. He made the world. If He’s so obsessed about us learning how it works, He would have given us a textbook, not a Bible. Besides if God wanted to use exams to test our level of intellect, He would be practicing favoritism with those that He created with higher aptitude for learning.
God uses exams to bring out to light our true character. He’s testing us in discipline, diligence, perseverance. If we cannot even be disciplined to study for an exam which is the basic responsibility of a student, how can we be disciplined to shepherd our sheep? If we cannot even study diligently, how will we be to serve Him diligently? Our character is reflected off simple things such as these.
Get this straight: This isn’t an examination on intellect; this is an examination of character.Our examination hall isn’t the school hall, it’s our daily life
Our exam duration isn’t the 2 hours; it’s the months leading to the examination
Our exams doesn’t end when the time’s up for writing, our exam ends when the time is up for our preparation
Our pass isn’t in our marks; it’s how we fared in the eyes of The Almighty
He’s not asking for top grades, He asked for top character
Just do your best, for by doing that, you have already passed His test.

someone sent me this, i found it very meaningful, i hope you guys learn something from it.
JIAYOU EASTA2
9:43 PM - Thursday, October 2, 2008
hey dudettes!!
we know exams are here, and for some of us, its around the corner.
some of us may not feel the urgency yet, even those who are taking their O's this year... like me.
ok i admit that i ain't motivated yet.
as much as i want my body to start studying, my body did not.
i feel that laziness is starting to be suh a burden.
my prelim results is terrible!
the highest i got is a B3, and the lowest, an E8.
time to pull up my socks! and you too if you havent!
many of us think that there's no motivation, there's still time. How wrong you are!
God should be our motivation! and every exam, we only get ONE shot!
we wanna do well in exams not for ourselves, but for God!
it pleases God when we give our best in our studies!
no matter how irrelevant you think the subject you're studying is, it doesnt matter, just do your best!
like what we learnt, school should be a joy[though its not for most of us]
let's change that attitude, and tell God we wanna give our best!
personally, i havent started studying, and my O's are getting closer.
but i'm starting today, emath practices. i hate math, but i wanna do it for God!
when we do our best, God will do the rest amen??

hey! wanna share with you guys something very cool that happened when i went to visit my grandma, aunt and uncle[they live together].
its truly amazing! i was taken aback!
my grandma, aunt and uncle accepted Jesus into their lives not long ago, a few months i would say, and my grandma's faith in God is just so great!
during dinner, God was all my grandma could talk about.
she was sitting with us, sharing loads of cool testimonies[in teochew] of how God blessed her.
one of the testimonies she shared was about this brother in her cellgroup who smokes, and he won't heed people's advice of quitting. my grandma talked about how our body is the temple of God and smoking is just like harming God's temple. and she prayed to God that during the sunday service, the pastor would talk about smoking, like tell the church people is bad to smoke and stuff.
true enough, that sunday, during altar call, the response was for those who smoke. she was just so amazed that she praise God right at our dinner table.
its just so cool!
and she talked about this sister[non-believer] who was in some kind of coma, and wouldnt wake up. my grandma prayed for her, together with the other believers, and she woke up.
when that woman woke up and said God brought her to see hell, its a very creepy place.
its really a horrifying burning place, and God let her see heaven as well, because initially, God didnt let her see because she did not believe in God, but she promised that if she saw heaven she would believe and convert. after she woke up from her coma and was healed completely, she accepted Jesus into her life!
thank God i could understand teochew if not i wouldnt have listened to all this wonderful blessings from God.
my grandma is so happy that she sang some chinese and cantonese praise and worship songs for us to hear, its very cool! haha!
God has changed my grandma's life.
and my uncle's!
when he just receive Jesus, he was constantly bugged and haunted by satan and the demons.
there were always scary thoughts in his mind to like tell him to commit suicide and stuff, and my uncle fell into depression. now, he is completely healed and satan no longer has control over him!
wow! God, you are truly AMAZING!!
You amaze me more and more each day!!
and since my mum isnt a believer, my grandma was like trying to convince her that God is real, like "this is the true living God" and stuff. OMGOSH!! so cool! and she also share Christ to her friends and like pray for them!
i believe if God can change my grandma and uncle's lives, He can most certainly change ours as well! aim for life transformation!
give thanks even for the little things, don't take God for granted!
Praise Him!
oh yeah! just now i wasnt feeling well, my grandma and aunt suddenly prayed for me, so full of faith. and now, i'm completely healed!
