Celia, Meliza, Nicholas' Birthday Celebration

Friends are precious. when you find that group that you can always count on, you know that the world isn't there for you to go thru alone. God sends friends in the unlikelist places, people and situations. This group reminded me that no matter how different our practices may be, whether they be from a brethren church, a charismatic church or a BP church, we all share the same God, the same Father, the same Son and the same Holy Spirit.
Now how blessed is the thought of a man surrounded by friends who care.

Happy Birthday to Celia, you're a wonderful encouragement. I look at someone who had stepped into my comm a year ago with innocence and really no experience whatsoever with being a leader of youths and yet here you stand, on the brink of the next year of service, with zeal, enthusiasm and an attitude that stuns me all the time. putting people above yourself has become your second nature. you're a wonderful girl that will continue to be shaped, moulded and groomed for service in our Lord Jesus.

Happy Birthday Meliza, times will come when all you want to do is give up. When those times, remember that if the people before you did, you wouldn't be here. Leadership isn't an obligation or chore [though sumtimes it might seem like that. :P] Leadership is a calling, an opportunity to serve Him no matter how little you are. He never asked kings to be His disciples. He asked fishermen. If you think you can, and if you rely on Him, you will, like the fishermen of Galilee and the tax collector, reap forth fruit from and for Him. God uses all, and He has called you now. at least in TP, i urge you to drop your empty nets and trust in Him, only when you do that will you be able to harvest the fish He has blessed you with. He did for me, He sent you.

Happy Birthday Nicholas, a brother indeed. I must say that your prayers have always affected me in a good way. I've told ya before that the way you pray is so unique and intriguing, i won't take it back. i think that that's one thing that sets you apart from many. of course there are many other things... but i thank God for giving me a brother like you. someone i've always drawn strength from, looked at for a role model at times and prayed for. I know your struggles, you know mine. We are close like [intertwines fingers in a net] like that bro. :) As the year comes, this year will be one of the most trying year of your life and mine. the first year of army will test us in ways we will not be ready for if we don't place our hope in Jesus. May the God of peace that has brought you out of death into His marvellous light, keep and preserve you, be with you and bless you in the army and beyond my brother.

But alas, my little ode to all my friends ends with one more who has indeed helped me to see that friends come and go in the most unlikely people. i present to you "QiGong the monk"...

Why some people can be so embarrassing i dunno. haha jus kidding. :) your stupid antics never fail to bring a smile to my face and a raised eyebrow. haha... thanks qiang.

The boy who can't wait to see how God uses his friends this year. Exciting no? :)

Friendship?

Does anyone know the pain of a frenship lost? i'm quite sure many of us have faced times when frens have turned their backs on you. when they stop telling you things they used to, they shut you out of your life permantly. Times when all you care about is hearing how their day was, how u can pray for them or what it takes to bring a smile to their face. and all they do is front, they shut the door in your face. no. they slam the door in your face. "i dun wanna talk to you" "i dun feel like talking" "just leave me alone will you?"... words like these cut so much.
they say words are cheap. i beg to differ, i say words are priceless. coz there's no way you can pay someone to forget them. once they come out of your mouth, nuhting can erase a person's memory of what was said to them. i sure won't.

to whoever you are. you have jus killed a part of me. how long this will last, i dunno. but i sure feel that there will never be that link anymore. "the straw that breaks the camel's back" it jus broke. sorry for disturbing you and i know you'll never read my blog. but let this be a lesson to everyone else. your words are very precious. dun go and kill someone. Dun hurt someone, you can't say sorry.

friendship. dun make me laugh.

Mei's Dance Concert - 15May 2006

Last nite was Jamie mei's concert at VCH.. :) was so glad i was able to go for it and all. After work i chiong-ed to get her present... will post a pic when i get it from her... but yeh, it's a nice huge balloon with a awfully cute teddy bear inside... everything hand picked by yours truly. spent quite a while choosing which teddy gets selected coz they had 2 that were real cute but i ended up choosing the bigger, more expensive one... but it sheds fur!!! ee. haha... sorry mei, but trust me, it's so much nicer than the other one. and i love what the bear's shirt says. haha it's so jamie. :) peeeenk and all. haha

Met up with the rest of them at MOS at Raffles City... Chelsea, Cheryl, Cherie, Alicia K, Celia, Sean and Qiang. then we headed to Victoria Theater by walking and miss pua was complaining how far it is. haha.. oops. :) but yeh, we finally got there and the concert was fantabulous la. :) it's been so long since i've been to that area and what's more, much longer since i've been to a school concert.. so the atmosphere was as happening as always. with girls screaming, pointing, hugging... and of course the many "did you see sophia! she was with that guy she likes! ohmigosh! can't believe they're together!" kinda comments. was laughing with Rachel at all the comments flying around the place as people pointed at people and giggled, laughed, screamed at for a hug... gosh. haha

Crazy! now who wouldn't wanna be there. haha so cool. sad thing was that they're all so young. sadded. HAHA jus kidding. :) my silly box took up so much space la. so pai seh can. everyone stares at you when you're carrying a huge box, trust me on that... yeh so it was so huge that i couldn't put it in front of me when i sat.. so i had to put it on the floor in front of the seat next to me. thankfully whoever [if there was one] booked the seat next to me never showed up. haha. :)

yeh so jamie pranced on stage and she looked really freaky la... the make-up was done so well that she really looked quite scary. :) the dancers were quite good.. thot it was a huge treat for the eyes with all their mad pointes and crazy co-ordination. :) not bad la. glad i was able to catch the performance. Was real proud seeing Jamie performing... she seemed to put all the stuff she learnt to good use la... and she got quite a lot of parts that really made her stand out.. like her solos.. but not really. haha :) yayz for mei! ahha

after that, she came down and we took some pictures.. one. HAHA... i managed to snap a pic of her in her makeup. so freaky. it's a lousy pic coz i took it with my phone. but when i get home today and if i'm not too tired, i'll put it into my com, edit it and post it with this post la. dun worry, i'll tell ya if i updated the entry. :)

after that we went for supper at ba chor mee place... could tell poor mei was so tired... on the way there kept complaining bout how hungry she was and all. silly girl didn't allow me to carry her bag for her.. and it was so heavy la. aiyoh mei. why you so stubborn... got people here willing to help you carry also dun want... -_-; ahha... yeh but she had lots to carry.. flowers, bag, my dumb box. haha. :) glad she at least let me carry the box. otherwise you'll see a stumbling jamie. haha...

Blading - Dinesh's 1st Time

Before we started blading....

real tired so this post will be short.

Went to blade today at East Coast Park with Adrian, Dinesh, Jodi, Shawn Tiang and Joash. in total we had 6 people and it was Dinesh's first time on blades.

*Random point* I'm so sadded. I've given up on her. Jasmine doesn't remember me at all. or she doesn't seem to appear like she recognizes me. sianz. haha not impt la. :) jus random point.

Yeh so we got all suited up and it was ready to roll. so fun la. love blading now la. Jodi was crazy la. she almost bought blades. jus like that... mad woman.
but yeh, after thinking bout it and talkin to my mum... i'm prob gonna buy one soon. when qiang returns from malaysia. i think i might go blading every Sat morning. jodi tempted me with the invitation. :) who wants to make it a commitment? exercise was never this fun... wootz!

yeh so dinesh kept falling on his butt so many times... and since it was a little drizzly, the ground was wet and sandy... in the end, this is how his butt turned out. apologies to di for showing your sexy tootsie. haha...
oh... after viewing the photo more [k that sounds so wrong] i've decided not to put it up... dun want to invade his privacy. :) ask him for the photo la. haha

yeh, we took an act cute grp shot after a normal grp shot and this is how it turned out. Adrian's not there coz he didn't trust the people with his camera... jodi will upload her pics soon.. with adrian inside. :)


This is a random candid shot of me. i think this pic is REALLY great.. minus the dumb expression on my face, i think it captured my mood very well. it's composed brilliantly and i jus love it a lot. :)
yup, that's bout it. going blading tml again. ahha call me crazy or call me rui. jus dun call me mad. HAHAHA. :) see ya!

Dating vs Marriage

A thought popped in my head just now while coming out of the shower. I'm using it as my msn nick now.

::† Prisoner Of Freedom †:: I don't wanna be a guy girls want to date. I wanna be the guy girls want to marry.

yup... i think that thot is not only a challenge but sumthing that i have to pressure myself to live up to too... there are times when it's so easy to say "heck all the Christian stuff bout waiting and let's go get a gf"... but no.. doesn't make sense at all la. jus like suicide.

so yeh. jus thot i'd blog a real short post bout this coz many youth nowadays have flings after flings... and apparently there's nothing wrong with it. sigh. so saddening to hear that. where has commitment, morality, trust and celibacy gone to?

Hungry (Falling on My Knees)

Hungry (Falling on My Knees) - Kathryn Scott

Hungry I come to You
for I know You satisfy
I am empty but I know Your love does not run dry
so I wait for You

I'm falling on my knees
offering all of me Jesus,
You're all this heart is living for

Broken I run to You
for Your arms are open wide
I am weary but I know Your touch restores my life
so I'll wait for You


I was listening to this track and thought the words were really meaningful. :) hope you enjoy it. if you want the song, do let me know. would be happy to share it. :)

Billy Bombers - Elections Day

Sorry for the late post... i really wanted to blog last nite about the whole day but i was really too tired to do anything other than source for some pictures to add to this blog entry.... yeh here's the entry.

Went to sleep at like 3 knowing that the next day was Saturday. I had nuthing planned for the day except Blading with Qiang and Adrian meeting at Bedok at 3. so was prepared to sleep till bout 11 or 12. Then dinesh calls at 9 plus and asks if i'm sleeping. of course i'm not sleeping anymore lah! i'm talkin to you!!! argh. so he finally got me up and out of bed with them promise to meet at Century Square for Billy Bombers at 11.30. He had some Polling day 50% off voucher and decided to use it. So he called along a few people like my 2 meis... but they both rejected him. until i asked them myself. HAHA... and Vera agreed to come after much psycho-ing her to ask her mum. Jamie couldn't join us coz she was meeting frens but i managed to bargain with her to ask her to pop by b4 she meets her fren coz it's all in tampines. haha so to summarize it all, Vera, Joash, Dinesh, Adrian and myself were going for lunch and Jamie was going to pop by. :)

Went there and seeing Vera again was really a treat for me la. i didn't need to eat or drink anything and i'd already have been a happy man. She came and we managed to take some silly shots by posing with the mirror above us. it actually was a really ingenious idea by Adrian. here we are, smiling before our meal...

Yup, as you can see, Adrian is holding the camera. haha... yeh... it was a cool gathering la... but what i really wanted to blog about was Vera. I know you're reading this mei, but yeh... hope you dun feel weird reading it and all. :P

Vera has been my mei for 2 years liao rite? since sec 1... it seems so short but actually the more i think bout it, it seems so long ago that i met this crazy young hyper NYGH girl. She came into my life in such a hurry and became so close to me. Youth camp, that's where it all started... i was your Angel rite? or was it that i was your mortal. sumthing tells me i was the Angel. haha. but nvm not impt. i remember how you caught my attention [as you do to everyone else] with your friendly, crazy and carefree attitude. :) must say that i immediately took a liking to your mad personality and was easily captured by your friendship. :) after camp, we got closer and i one day became her kor. dun ask me how it happened, but a huge part of me was very glad it did coz Vera's been such a joy to my life and there's no way that she can't make me smile. :) jus her little "i'm a princess-pouts lips" kinda expression is enuf. :)
Seeing her yesterday after such a long time was really a different experience for me i guess. i realized there and then how much we had lost in the few months that you took a break from Shalom. it really hit home when we took this picture...
When we posed for this, you jus instinctively rested your whole head on my shoulders... at first for a SPLIT second, i was a bit stunned... i guess it's coz this was the first time i've spent time with ya since you took that break... but in the next split second, i remembered exactly why i was your kor. I recalled all the times i watched you with a smile on my face and knowing deep down inside that i jus wanted to be sumone there for you, to protect ya [if i can] and to be an older person for you to look up to or gain support from. :) in that split second, i was so glad to be able to be there, at billy bombers, next to you, taking a picture that i knew i'd die to see when i got home...
I guess i really missed ya and was really glad you came. I did really want to grab you up in a tight embrace and ka-bish you for leaving church for so long... but i knew that you'd only give that silly pout look again. haha i hope you know that your kor wants you back ok? and that doesn't change the issues you might have with shalom yes... but jus know that i do miss you and would want to spend more time wif you whenever. :) i care bout ya loads k? :)

funny what one day and a picture can do to you. :)

Our food came and we started getting fat... jamie dropped by for like 5 minutes and she looked real nice too... was wearing my necklace. yay for mei! haha.but sad she had to run away so fast... next time la. :)

yeh. i'm real tired now and am actually dozing off in front of my com. so i shall end this here...to be continued....

---------------------------- The following was blogged on Monday, 8th may.

Yeh so like I was saying, the food came and we were all pigging out coz you should know Billy Bombers la. They have HUGE servings... decided to save mei and I some money and share our dish. We had surf and turf while the others had chix and ribs... quite a nice combi la considering how mei wanted beef steak and I was inclined to fish. So when our milkshakes came [of course we ordered milkshakes.. who wouldn't?] I was so excited to get some of the wonderful cookies and cream shake into my mouth can! Haha... and it was well worth the trip. Love the shakes from BB. Mei had a choco shake... so boring. HAHA. Oops.

Yeh so lunch was fantabulous... mei still needed me to cut her steak for her. Aiyoh. Vera ah vera... how old liao ah? Still need your 'servants' to serve you and cut your steak issit? Tsk tsk. but nvm, would and did do it gladly. Haha... so after our meal, things started getting crazy. Vera tried to draw on my hand with a marker but ended up getting vandalized on her "bei" the should blade part by Dinesh. He wrote stuff like "Hi Vera" and "Rui was here" on her shoulder blade la. Haha super funny... in the end I had to clean it off for her with COLD ICE WATER. Lolz. I'm so evil. Haha...but it was that or shakes... so I think shakes wouldn't have cleaned it off, only made it sweet. HAHAHA..

After that, we headed to Isetan to buy Vera's mother's day gift and Yamaha to look at Guitar Straps... hmm quite ex la. But as expected... so will keep looking around, maybe I'll find cheap ones. Who knows. after that, we had to part ways coz Vera was heading towards town, Dinesh and Joash to church and Qiang [yeh, he joined us after lunch at Vera's request], Adrian and I to East Coast park. :P Went to Bedok first to grab lunch for Qiang and grab roller blades for Adrian and I. Ended up spending quite a long time at Adrian's place... supposed to jus pick up the 2 pairs of blades and leave but I think we must have spent like half an hour or more there. Haha stupid qiang la... purposely trying to stall time so we won't end up going to ECP. Lazy bum.
So we arrived at ECP and it was crowded la! Sadly didn't take any pics there. we bladed for an hour and stopped by Macs to grab drinks before heading back to return qiang's rental blades. Jasmine, I spoke bout her in my last ecp entry, didn't seem to remember us. Finally [and I mean FINALLY coz it took a long time] got qiang to talk to her and ask her whether she remembers us... she apparently doesn't and dun think she read the tract we passed her la. From her replies, can see she dun even remember the tract. Haha sadded can... but yeh. Later on I made small talk with her about what she's doing now and stuff... intro-ed our names and we left for dinner… overall, the blading trip was fun la! Was learning how to brake from Adrian... he was teaching me the technique and until now, still can't brake properly. Shall keep practicing and learning.

Yup, the rest of the day was quite straight forward, dun wanna waste your time reading bout it. Dinner at Parkway and home. Chionged home by bus so I could watch the elections on tv... it was exciting la! Esp when WP won one of the constituencies... wah, can see the people who were pro-opp jus cheering. I was quite happy too la... not that I hate the lightning party [sorry, can't type their name... scared later government sue me]... but it was interesting to see how the times have changed... did ya see the Aljunid GRC? The lightning party won by like 56% of the votes la. How close is that can! The lightning party will have to work hard to keep support. yeh but it's all over...

Thus, this concludes the memorable day. memorable mainly coz of one person and a group of people that made my day sumthing worth blogging bout. thanks mei and the Billy Bombers peeps + Qiang. frens are always treasured.

Right now, sitting in office. This morning was fighting to stay awake. Dunno why I'm so tired. Gosh. Haha.. later so exciting, meeting up with a few Cfers... meliza, tian en, nick, maybe timo... we're going for dinner and then heading to Esplanade's Harry's Bar coz mel wants to go see and I dun mind seeing the atmosphere too la. The rest can go and drink their brains away... I'll have punch... or sumthing else. I should have brought a water bottle. Maybe I will. Haha I got a flask in the office. Cold water anyone? HAHA. cheap and good.

Yup, so thanks for reading this ultra long post. It's 2 days long! Wait... today's Monday... so it's 3 days. haha

Blading at ECP

Wah! i tell you. today was one of the better few public holidays i've spent can! :) Angel, Qiang and I went to East Coast Park to blade and it was a blast! promised to go coz Angel needed someone to teach her how to blade, and considering how i love ice skating and have bladed before... i offered to teach her.

though i knew i'd have to re-learn it again for myself. it's been SO long since i got on the ice and even LONGER since i bladed... last time i put on blades was probably 5 or 6 years ago now that i think bout it. or maybe even 10. i won't be surprised... needless to say, i can't find my old blades so went there to rent blades... Went to meet them at bedok and took a bus there.

We arrived at the blades shop and finally settled down after calling this girl to "serve" us... she was real nice, got us our blades and all but kept forgetting us coz of the busy-ness of the stall. So in the end when we were all suited up, i called her over and gave her a grin and said, urmmm we're all suited up but we haven't given you our IC or anything. and she was like. HUH?! you haven't paid yet? and we were like.. err no. haha... so she pai seh pai seh went to the back to issue us a receipt for our one hour of rental... [we were saying we should have jus bladed off la. they wouldn't know. but we were ethical and honest]... so she returned and we were on our way... her name's Jasmine btw, we asked.

Went to the learner's rink and it was quite funny coz there was quite a lot of people jam packing the rink... kids, pros... everyone was there blading, slipping, falling, laughing... you got it all there. haha so we slowly moved Angel there and of course being the first time in and on blades, she barely made it to the rink without falling. thank goodness she didn't coz the ground would have been very unkind. So getting there was tough enuf. we slowly inculcated her with instruction after instruction on what to bend, how to stand... it was quite info overload so we took it slow.. experiencial learning la... to cut a long story short, we spent the hour there letting her blade back and forth, falling numerous times [but getting back up immediately everytime]. We managed to even venture out to macs to pick up some drinks before heading back and trying again and again.
I'd like to say that i'm quite impressed by Gel... she was able to pick up quite fast, listen to our instructions and have the confidence to fall. Some people are so afraid of falling that they'll never leave the railing. but this girl insisted on going on and on with nuthing to hold on to but the railing at the end. She picked up real fast and was really much much better when we ended.

Yup, so after we ended, it started to drizzle really lightly. it was really good coz it was perfect timing. so we went back and Qiang made a comment about how the girl who gave us the blades looked like a Christian so we asked her when she came to get the blades back from us. Angel asked her if she was a christian and she said no. so i explained how she looked like one and so we thot she was... she said she grew up in a Catholic school though. IJ Punggol.. yeh, so anyways after she told us where she studied, Angel made small talk by asking her if she's workin part time and all. so after that, i asked her if it was ok if i gave her sumthing small to read. and i passed her a tract. We parted ways and she's been in my mind since then la. said a prayer for her that if i were to see her again during the day, i'd approach her and share the gospel with her. my little agreement with God. and if i didn't see her [which i didn't] i prayed that she'll read the tract and maybe find God some way. yeh. small perk me up for the day i guess. she was quite small sized but yet not really... told Angel that the moment i saw her, she reminded me of Angel herself. haha... maybe it was the hair, face or busy/blur service... and after a while, Angel agreed that she DID kinda resemble or remind her of herself. haha. it was quite funny. :)

Yeh, so after that, we went to macs so Angel could get her Hot Fudge and ended up walking all all all the way to the hawker centre at the other end of ECP. haha you know the one with good Stingray? yeh. after dinner, we took a stroll... mad. we walked all the way back to bedok interchange. haha it was fun walking in that "after rain" atmosphere. :)

yuppers... spent the day really well and had lots of fun. Thanks so much for the company and the great experience. :) *sian, tml got work*. haha... if anyone's heading to East Coast Park anytime soon let me know, i go ask you to help me find that Jasmine girl. :) thanks. aaha

oh yeh, due to the confusion about the prev post... this paragraph is dedicated to my other mei VERA SHAW! heh.. sorry bout that little mixup... was really glad when you promised me that time that you'll come for Family Day and even more happy when you did show up... i tell you, shawn and i were like sitting at the gate waiting for you to turn the corner and pop your silly head in la.. but you never came so we gave up sitting at the entrance of church.. we looked so dumb. haha... but we were looking forward to seeing you. it's been so long since you came back to shalom [well, the YF wasn't that long but...] but still, we missed ya, i know i did. So it was nice to see you. sorry i couldn't abandon my stall and walk the princess around. You're gonna have to excuse me on that but that stall only had August and I manning it.. and if you read in my prev post, i couldn't jus run away from the stall la. :) but yeh... like i said, for that short time i WAS able to see you, it was a joy to my heart. Sorry i didn't give ya a bye bye hug too. haha wanted to... but yeh... *hugz* gotta take that one as the real one for now... until you come back to shalom again... it'll be waiting. ahaha.. Yup. hope to see you more alrite mei? :)

Family Day 2006

Yawn. i'm real tired, mentally drained and quite physically exhausted too. so please excuse me if this is a short post. :)

Today was family day in shalom. it was a blast. though i was mainly cooped up in the fellowship hall, of which i vowed not to be this year but sigh, i still had an enjoyable time. k let me complain for one paragraph then i won't let myself complain anymore.

this year i really really really didn't wanna do anything. considering this year i'm chair of the yf, the last year as a free man from NS... and all the other stuff like me being the oldest YFer... i really wanted to jus spend time with the youths. going stall to stall hanging out with them, sharing laughters with them and basically being there for them and making memories with them. i tried my hardest and almost... almost was able to siam all committment this year. i was so close to being a free person today. i was all ready to buy coupons and just go fellowshipping game stall by game stall. I knew it was goin to be hard coz i'm quite high profile and all. rejecting yong jie and deb tan was really hard for me to do trust me. but i was able to not be stuck in a game stall this year. everything looked good.

then august asked me to help in his "wheel of misfortune"... wasn't 100% keen.. but i'd say 70% of me was quite excited bout it also la. jus joking with him is enuf to fill my day and all so i agreed. :S haha... i won't say it was a bad thing la.. but i really wanted to get out there and spend time with the youths... they were in the carpark and i was stuck in the deepest most inner part of the fellowship hall.

Was able to excuse myself from time to time to run outside, sit there and talk, laugh and help out the games stalls.. but it was really borrowed time. thankfully August was really really kind about not making a big deal about me being at the Wheel of Misfortune for maybe 50% of the time... but yeh. thanks august. really appreciated the time that i was given to go out and carry the laughs we made inside to the youths outside. :) [goodness... i sound like some maid asking for off days] haha...

but the wheel of misfortune was farn la. haha first victim was leonard and it was so saddening coz he won. haha... yeh but we had some good sabos... like my mum, vera, shawn tiang and dinesh. :) glad everyone was sporting and willing to pay to see someone get sabo-ed. :) it was fun spinning the wheel, dancing along to the silly looping music and stuff. :) thanks to august, he surely livened the station up a whole lot. :)

yeh, so to cut it all short, i gotta end off with 1 or two more paragraphs but family day was real fun. :) would do it again in a snap of a finger... but that's jus wishes. haha... i had tons of fun, the only reason why i'm so tired now. :)

Well, today made me realize how much i missed spending time and talking to my mei. yeh, this paragraph is dedicated to you and your kuku nonsense. :) thanks for smiling that heartmelting smile EVERYTIME. :) though i was afraid you almost lost my precious rings, i knew that even if i lost them, i was glad to have spent the day talkin and chilling wif ya mei. :) sorry i haven't been the best or least bit of a kor to you... hope to change that and watch out for you much more. but yeh, forgive me coz i'm still trying to work with the situation and circumstances surrounding my "absence" :) but hey, you still make my world and life so much joyous knowing you're being the silly pooters that i knew since you were sec 1. Just wanna say that i miss ya and though i dun or aren't able to always show it, you mean tons to me, more than you'll ever know. :) thanks, you. you're gonna be such a wonderful woman of God one day. i can't wait.

yuppers... that concludes my entry. :) you guys take care! going east coast tml! yay yay yay. aha i need the break from the drudgery of work. :) oh.. btw, the weekend flew by too fast.
