A day's break

Took a day off from work today. Applied for leave cos in the evening got singing practise at uncle simpson's place. Spend the whole morning sleeping, watching tv and playing games. Haven't spend a day like that for a long time. Thank God for the day of rain, the weather is so good to sleep. Haiz. Looking at the time, I have less than 6 hours to sleep. Got to be super early in camp tomorrow. Got some big event in camp, don't know its RSAF open house or day.

Finally got my baby back from simpson's place. My bike has been there for weeks. Got no time to collect it since we went cycling at east coast. Cycled to candace's place after singing practise. Went to see gong gong and ma ma. Haven't been there for quite some time. Finally, tomorrow is Friday, a day most people will be looking forward to as the weekends are approaching. Why can't there be 4 weekdays and 3 weekends, more balance right. Haiz..

On Wednesday, I tried to share the gospel with my officer and some other colleagues. Just find it curious, how offended they can get. They asked me to stop whatever I want to say immediately. They claimed that Christians are very forceful people. That we like to force people to listen and believe. They also don't understand why Christians are so enthu to share the gospel. I gave them this example that if they won a lucky draw or something, something good, they will also have to enthu to want to share it with others. But they still don't understand. Is it what the bible always say, that those who don't believe in Jesus, are blind, in darkness. Jesus is light. When darkness comes into light, everything is revealed, they will be in shameful nakedness. Thats why they are so offened when they come close to the light??

Are you in or out ???

Finally back to work after 5 days of rest at home. I must admit that I am kinda still in the MC mood, not ready to go back to work yet. First day of work today, been a busy day. Busy preparing charge report to charge servicemen who tries to be funny with the law.

Guess I am getting use to the travelling time to get to and back from my base. It takes me more than 3 hours to go to and fro. I have to take a bus to Bedok interchange, then catch a train to Jurong, then transfer to Choa Chu Kang. That's not all, still have to take another bus into the middle of Choa Chu Kang. Finally then will I reach my base. I think the origin of Tengah Airbase must be from Hokkien. Cos in Hokkien "teng" means long, refering to the long journey you need to take before being able to arrive there. lol..

Have seen many people who claims to be Christian. And why do they say that they are Christians? The most common answer is because they believe in Jesus. But the main thing is not just to believe in Jesus. During youth fellowship on saturday, I've learnt something very important and it really struck me hard. Many people thinks that once they believe in Jesus, they will be save forever. Its not wrong to say that, but its also not totally right.

To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said,
"If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

John 8 : 31 - 32

In John chapter 8, verses 31 to 32, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." What is true discipleship? It is not barely believing in Jesus, you have to hold to His teaching. Cos knowing then, will you know the truth and only the truth will set you free. Its how we live our everyday life that matters. When we say the sinners' prayer, we say that we accept Jesus to be the Lord and Savior of our lifes. To be the Lord of our lifes, means that our lifes belong to Jesus, we have to live our daily life for Him. I know that it is not easy to do so, as the temptations in this sinful world is too great and we still have our old sinful body with us. Like to challenge all fellow follower of Christ to ask yourself, "Do you just take Jesus as your Savior, and forgot about being our Lord as well? Are you living a life that's pleasing to God and glorifing Him?" Only the truth will set you free..

its common, dont give up..

Have you ever had the one moment of enthusiasm, to really want to be right with God. To live a life that is of worthy to Him? But it was only for that moment, and the next minute this enthusiasm fades away? Have you ever had that moment of determination and confidence, that you will not commit the same sin again and again, but yet do so again? Have you had that moment when you have the eagerness to read God's word and to pray to Him. But after continuing a few days or weeks, you start not to read and pray to Him. This is common problem face by us Christian, and that is what Christian life is about, continuing running the race, no matter what is happening in our daily lifes. We just have to know what is right and continue doing it.. The road ahead, is full of test and obstacle. Be gladful that we are not alone. We have Jesus to look up to when life seems so hard to carry on. We have our fellow brothers and sister to share our joy and burden with. Hold strong to the faith we have in Jesus, let us run God's marathon together..

Jesus Country Club

Hi all, interested to join a country club that I've joined not along ago? Its the best country club in this world, better than any other existing and upcoming clubs. Its called Jesus Country Club. The great thing about it, is that membership is free, all you got to do is to believe in Jesus, in His death and resurrection and recieving Him as Lord and Savior of your life. What else? Its membership does not only last a lifetime, it last through eternity. By joining, you can have many privileges. First is a relationship with God, being reconciled with God, whom we first rejected. Next is the privilege of prayer. No matter where you are, what time is it. You can pray to God, telling Him all your joys and sorrows and He will answer them if they are according to His will. Isn't it great to join a country club belonging to a sovereign owner who has control over everything? Who is loving and great enough to send His only Son to die for us on the cross to pay for our debts of sin? Contact me if you are interested. Hurry up as we do not know when Jesus is coming back again!!

Guinea Pig Experience

This is a true story of my guinea pig experience. On monday morning, I went to Bedok Polyclinic for a checkup, as I have been feeling some chest tightness and breathe shortage recently. Seen the doctor and was referred to CGH, reason was that they are better equipped. At CGH they told me that I need to be admitted for some observation, to check whether there's any problem with my heart. So I listened to their advise and was admitted. Thoughout my night there, they have been busy taking ECG and bloodtest for me. They took my blood for about 6 over times. Some new nurses had problem finding my veins, so they tried a few times before finding it. Finally got discharged today. Thank God that there's nothing wrong with my heart and for the MCs that I can have to rest at home. Haha
