Exciting Holidays!!!! (by Roar)

Hi everyone, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for your contributions and presence in this retreat. Indeed, things would have been different without you. To my spiritual sons, daughters, nephews and nieces: You guys have been very cooperative and supportive of this and I'm proud of you.

Special thanks to:

1. Huimin (for checking in, msg, cooking & taking care of the gals)
2. Everett, Tzup, Yisheng, Weng Yew, Jiayu for worship
3. Shawn & Jiayu for games
4. Pei Tien for BBQ stuff & cake
5. Weng Yew & Tzup for msg
6. Stanley for cooking fried rice
7. Jie Han for cooking Pasta
8. Ben for BBq-ing the food
9. Shawn for the Birthday card
10. KS for the car and video cam
11. Myself (.... uh.... for booking chalet and driving around... haha)

Thanks also for saving electricity. I hope there's no extra bills incurred. Some things I would have to feedback though: Pls observe hygiene when you prepare food (e.g. do not re-use anything thrown into the dustbin); Leave the ladle/scoop outside the container after you fetch your drink; Dispose of junk properly (if rubbish is full, change the trash bag) and Do not lock the door when sleeping in a room.

Last but not least, thank Jesus for watching over us the whole time. Pls pass me $10 each to defray the expenses of the chalet as I need to return $$ to those who bought stuff.

Pls note that there'll be no cell meeting for the next 2 weeks ( 17 & 24 Nov). Shane has booked gameslab this sat from 3-6pm. We have Youth144 meeting on 1 Dec. Nick Vujicic will be speaking at Youth Svc on 2 Dec. Ps Adrian's wedding is on 8 Dec. Ben enters Police Force on 11 Dec. My Japan trip is from 10-18 Dec. Youth Camp is on 20 - 22 Dec (Salvation Army, Upp Bt Timah). Christmas Party on 24 Dec (tentative).

Final thing to note: NICK VUJICIC IS COMING TO PREACH!!!! Make every effort to invite all your friends because I believe they will be blessed!

this is the end of the secondary life road and now this is the crossroad.

Sorry for not posting for a long time, i was busy preparing for the o levels and now i can say tat its almost comming to an end. The whole secondary life seems to have just flown by dont u guys think?

Secondary life holds lots of memories, from band getting a silver award in 2005 for syf to the gold award in genting highlands also in 2005. Whats more to remember, from those great juniors to those whom i am in charge of. I just want to say that i really enjoyed it all. I've learnt loads of stuff and enjoyed all this time with the band. With ex-conductor Miss Tan to current conductor Ms Cheong the struggles and hard work we have put into the music.

Tuba Rox like mad!!!! Please tell Asyikin to read this. Lets have the tuba section be the strongest section in band!!! <<>> Don't let me and HH down hor...

class 4E1 of Fuhua secondary school is also a great batch and also fun batch, though there are always fights and all those arguments but in the end, i feel that we all have enjoyed ourselves. 2 years with you guys were fun so lets not let our links get disconnected k? Lets stay as friends forever!!! You guys ROX!!

Life has been great for these years. I thank God for his provision and blessings for these years, i managed to pull through my secondary school life. God has a plan for us and we should always know tat his plan is carefully planned out for us.

Chalet rox, we had loads of laughs and fun. From the great chats at night to playing of cards as well as Shane's cards. Its a time we shd all remember as well as to enjoy. 1st day bbq and the loads of fried rice and pasta prepration was tough bt overall, the results were super satisfying. Stanley Ho can cook hor... so can wengy and Wei Ling(aka dancing)


This week was the one tat i have the most memorial time through these years le! Tks to everyone tat made this so!!!

Grande Finale

its been a VERY VERY long while since i wrote anything here..
WHEE~

last exam of my secondary school life.. Last paper, the closing extract..
today, i felt kinda.. horrible.. MEP is like a goner, gg-fied subject.. im like once again, blindly going into the exam hall.
I wanted to study hard and do well for the exam, though a huge chunk of it is gone by now, various coursework and the paper last thurs (which my fren so conveniently forgot to take) took up a large percentage of the overall paper. tmr's paper is the largest chunk.. and i reali dunno how to study for it.. its like, culture shock.. for three years we've been doing something else and poof, we're hit with the revised syallabus..

nvm.. i was praying today and i was lead back to one of my favorite passages..

Isaiah 40:28-31

WHOA!
yes, and i affirm and claim this for myself, right now..
its a little too late to be muggin for anything.. i have most of it in my brain actually. i just need to memorise and get it into my system about 13 more pages worth of info for tmr.. I CAN DO IT! yes..
its not impossible. its only impossible only when u resign urself to it.

Matthew 7:7-8
7"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be open to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."

I know this all too well.. i ask for 30 points in my EOYs this year, and i reali got 30 points. not one more, not one less.
I claim it here and now, i wan a B3 for my Higher Music O Levels this year.. dun ask for it after the paper. ask for it b4 the paper..

someone affirm me pls??
Pray for all those taking O levels now, that down the final sprint ( all the MCQ papers left) that you will remain diligent in your revision for the remaining papers, and pray that he gives you strength to last for the last week. and we can then all go retreat and have fun!

Amen

with love,
eK

Growing up..

after watching the previous post, i'm lost for words. hahaha. it's so ironical tt i wanted to blog abt this thing u call "growing up" only to find tt someone else already posted smth in relation to it!

must be sign from God. lol.

anw, i wanna affirm the word tt childlikeness is smth to be respected and awed abt.
it's tough growing up. not really the process but well, u kinda get torn between the now and the past, and the future. there are some things u don't wanna give up and let go.
as many call it. it's the last chance for those sec 4s to have care-free fun. and to think i felt like i lost tt a long long time ago.
haha. so the saying tt u dont know what u've got till its gone rings ever so true.
thankfully i think i realize what i've got 2 months b4 it's gone.

i've got childish frens. HAHA. ok not funny. maybe it is. well, many wanna take the opportunity of these 2 months and holidays to let it rip. it being our childish side. after all, we're gonna be adults very soon!
well. i dont wanna let go of those moments cos i know i'll nvr ever experience them again.
all those weird things u do when ur in an all-guys school. haha. pity we can't change in class when we go for PE nx year. so inconvenient!
and so many ppl change! looking back from sec 1, which seems like just yesterday, and comparing it to being sec 4, well. i guess we've all grown up in a certain way.
we still do childish stuff like tau-poking and acting spas but like a friend of mine said the other day, it's been quite amazing to see the inner-change tt has taken place.

then again, the future holds much uncertainty, but promises much more. and we'll never know till we actually experience it for ourselves right?
struggling to move on it one thing, not moving on is another.
i hope i fall into the "struggling to move on but eventually does" category.
after all, we dont want to become like the israelites moving out of egypt do we?
thinking how terrible egypt is when we're suffering there and den when we get delivered complain abt how better it was then. deliverence is kinda like growing up.

when we're kids we want to grow up so badly.
when we've grown up we want to turn back the clock and be kids again.
haha.

anw, moving on to the promise of God remains the most impt thing. God didnt create us to stay little and naive forever, He created us to learn and capture innocence and child-like faith, in order to raise us up to draw closer to Him and to fulfill our destiny.
after all, isnt tt wad life is abt? being grateful for all tt's passed, but moving on to greater and better things that have already been planned.

and so a new chapter begins..



i now needa rush off for class outing.
xD
ciao.
