Out of my comfort zone, the extra mile.
Paid 16 bucks to finish up 'frozen' food in 10 minutes.
There's just so much I can say with just that line alone.
Well, today morning met up with Thad, was a little late tho, had just recovered from my flu yesterday, you can ask timo, I looked really 'dead' literally. My nose was dripping and there were tissue all over my table.
Service was great. Sermon was better than yesterday. After service, Bao asked if he could borrow my guitar cable for the mini zone dinner (People's party) @ Vivo. So I went home to get the cable. While walking home, I was thinking, will anyone get upset with me for being late? Will there be anyone who would be upset for having to wait for me all the time?
The past few days, Ive been the last. Last to have dinner, last to fellowship. But as I walked home, I thought of Bao, I remembered the days I would have guit lessons with him. Those were the days, I grew the most, those were the days that I really moved up to a whole new level.
I really owe my breakthrough to this great brother of mine. Just to be able to serve him was a great honor, just to able to serve great people like wayne, ps audrey, ps zhuang, and other cg leaders. Being a guitarist myself, just being able to serve other guitarists, its such a great honor.
After I took the cable, rushed down to Settlers to meet up with CG. Even though I could only spend that short, 20-30minutes with elaine, timo, Rymond (did I spell correctly? lol), and thomas' friend, no matter how short, it was fun, I learnt 2 new games ha. God really multiplied my time.
After that went straight down to Vivo to meet up with Joyce. Wayne came up to me asked me if I could help to do sound. I was tired, hungry, havent eaten lunch, but I thought, both Bao and Wayne were there for me when I needed them the most, I wanna be there for them.
Even though the board Ive never seen before, even though the setup was done by the staff there, even though Im not a lighting crew, I just gave my best, stepped out of my comfort zone, did the impossible.
In church, we had soundcrews(plural), it was my first time doing solo for such a big event. My bro was photographer so he was helping to take pictures. We just went straight in, didnt even have time to do a proper sound check.
Everything was impromptu, but God wasnt impromptu. We started, I think at around 6 or 630pm, stood there and helped out until around 10pm when they were preparing to close.
Halfway throughout the party I met a fellow soundcrew who helped me to listen haha. Cus I cant really hear what e ppl hear. I was EQing, adjusting volume, and only once in awhile I could go in front of the stage and listen.
I stood there, in front of like 6 celgrps. Seeing them play games, laughing, cheering, eating, fellowshipping...for 4 hours...it really wasnt easy, to stand there and smile for 4 hours. They celebrated someone's birthday towards e end. To be honest, I almost broke down in tears.
Yet at the same time, another part of me felt really happy. To be able to serve so that people can have fun, to be able to serve so that by faith, our friends will one day come to the saving knowledge, to be able to serve so that someone could have her most memorable birthday..
I was hungry physically, its 10pm and I havent had my lunch, I was hungry emotionally, I was drained, I was hungry socially, I was hungry spiritually. Eventually, I was the last person to eat. I feel so bad..lizhen was so nice to ask the waiter to heat up my soup. But when the waiter came, I said thanks and 2 seconds later, "Testing 1, 2..Sound check.." And I was gone again.
I was tired and all alone. I was vulnerable to the devil and he did attack me in my emotions and thoughts. I felt so shameful and guilty for having the waiter go all the way to heat up my soup, only to end up with me going off to do sound again. I didnt even drink one sip. And the devil placed all sorts of negative emotions in me.
But weak and tired and hungry as I may be, I said no. I still smiled, and talked to the singers and musicians to see if they're okay with their own sound, etc.
Queueing is 1-2hrs.
Service is 2-3hrs.
But for the first time, I was serving for almost 5 hours non-stop.
It was really a great leap of faith, I dont know how I did it, but it happened anyway. Sometimes we get tired of queueing, sometimes we get tired of serving every week during service, emerge at most is only 4 hours. This is even longer than emerge lol.
It really astounded me. I was so busy I lost track of time. It was almost eleven when we ended. I did nothing to deserve such a great opportunity, I couldnt have done it without God. What a day, what an experience.
He was the one who was there when I was down.
He was there, when I felt really lonely.
He was there, to always lend a listening ear, 24/7.
He was there, when I felt tired and sick.
He was there, when I felt confused.
He was there, to be my helper and companion.
Tons of emotions welled up in me, thoughts were running in my head, but deep down, there is a sense of satisfaction. To be able to spend 4-5 hours of my life serving together with God, Im really happy. And I remembered this song which really reflects my mood right now.
Never despise the days of small beginnings...
Here is my heart, make it your sanctuary...
For nobody else, but Jesus only You...

Ministry, Service
Ministry was tense before service, but exciting.
First time I had to do a treasure hunt for some table mic-stand for the chinese interpreter lol. The base, found in one flightcase, the neck, found at FB flightcase next to the stage, the mic holder in the container behind Delta Terrace, and the body found at somewhere else. LOL.
Cus we just moved back so yea..the stuff were everywhere. Even the mic was found only after awhile haha. Had problems with interpreter...went one big round only to realise the cause of not being to receive any signal, was due to the compressor not turned on O_O.
Okay thats dumb. Anyway, after settling that, had to help do a bit of patching, honestly, Ive never been exposed to patching the snake and the cables behind the recording deck before ha. Oh well, its a whole new experience for me.
Service was great. Word was just in season, totally awesome. Even while I was recording, I was tearing the moment they started singing sanctuary. Too bad all my songs are gone due to reformat. All my emoticons too =/
Anyway, just wanna say MS Office Enterprise really looks sexy..esp with my desktop theme haha. But it takes up a bit more resources because of dynamic GUI (Graphic User Interface), with the vista look and all the fade help-boxes here and there.
I was reluctant to install Media Player 11, first of all, theres not much difference other than user interface and the new URGE/Media Store function.
Secondly, I think MPlayer10 looks really sexy, blends with my desktop Royale theme, the new MSN look (okay the color doesnt really blend, diff shade :x) and the MS Office Enterprise. Here are some screenshots. =)

Followup Session, Memories
Well today's been really high and fun. Got to meet the 2 friends who came for easter, Matt and Khank, ill just call him Khan for now. =) Met up for the heaviest noodle for dinner, 'one ton' noodles haha, opposite Peace Center at Dhoby Ghaut.
I remember I went there once for CHC Childrens' Church when e church was still moving from place to place, even before Hollywood! I still can remember vividly. Of my entire primary school childhood, being in that place was the one thing that remained in my memory till now.
Coincidence? You decide for yourself. And several years, guess what? Im here. I went there when I was pri 2 or pri3. Back then every week, I would go to tim's house to play computer games, Id still remember, Red Alert, CnC95, Total Annihilation, etc. All the classics, you name it.
I also went to his house to play his entire Power Rangers Deluxe Zord Collection. HAHA.
So one day his mum brought him and me to church on a sunday, cus I stayed over the night before. Yes..Im not even 10 years old and Im staying over and learning to be independent. Its really amazing how someone with low self-esteem like me, can accomplish something like this, there was even once, I think I was primary 4 or 5, I went overseas to Perth with Tim and his family.
I had no relative with me. I was the only kid in my family, going hundreds of miles overseas, all e way to australia! :O And..I think, thats the furthest Ive been overseas.
Anyway, back to Peace Center. I went there and I was stubborn and rebellious, I didnt wanna go sunday school. I peeped into the auditorium and I saw a weird looking man, yelling in front of the stage (whom I now know as Ps Kong LOL!), and everyone was on their knees crying.
At that time, I thought they were 'loose in the head'. I run round the building and being the naughty "ROUND" boy I was. I never talked to anybody. I didnt think anyone cared. So might as well do my own stuff.
I never knew what church it was, or what was going on, until I saw the CHC Story video shown on CIC last lesson. Everything just flowed into place. Nothing in my life was ever coincidental. The places Ive been to, the people Ive known.
So yea, me, timo, thad, adam, elaine, we met up with Matt and Khan. After our wanton mee, we went pool at the arcade hahaha..it was so high! I did a left handed shot! LOL. Me and my 'stunts'. O_O.
Seriously, Im a really dangerous person when it comes to sports hahah. I remembered my "Underhand Swing" during badminton that sent the shuttlecott flying 3 storeys high and entering the multistorey carpark HAHA!
While we were eating, Timo was like: "That time dunno who ah, so clever ah..shoot the shuttlecott all the way into the carpark somemore eh..?" LOL.
Anyway, it was fun. After that we played arcade. We played on the Bishy-Bashy machine. LOL. I think we made the most noise in that place hahaha..slamslamslam going crazy..on HARD MODE! LOL! And all sorts of funny things happened. Got one part, we were supposed to press according to the colors displayed on e screen.
It became so fast everyone buay tahan, just slam and spam! ROFLMAOLOL! After that had icecream at Mac. Sat down, chilled, talked about Emerge, shared so much with our new friends. Really hope u guys had fun.
Lets arcade again someday haha..I wanna lan! =( I miss lan so much. Those were the most fun days..screaming and yelling in the lanshop everytime I get fragged from behind LOL. *Throws grenade, *Shhhhhhrrriiiieeeekkkkkk!!!!
If you think I was crazy in my videos, I was EVEN MORE crazy in a lanshop! LOL.
Its Retard Androne x 1000! LOL!
Recording tomorrow. Settlers on sunday with cg. Ciao.

God, Reformat
Went jogging today. I really like being alone sometimes. Jog 2 rounds. Prayer walk for one round, then jog another round. I really get to spend time with God. Well at least, its my way of fellowshipping with God.
Had lunch in school canteen today. Before that I was telling God, "Father, lets have lunch together k? I wanna bring you to my school canteen, we can sit there, look at the birds and the wonderful scenery, etc..."
Haha the silly things we do when we're in love. =O
Anyway isnt it strange, all the while its been God who's dating us, "Come to church", "Spend time with me", "Read my word", etc. Wouldnt it be nice if we could date God for once? Its always God making time for us, shouldnt we make time for Him?
It IS a relationship right? We cant expect God to do everything, we too have to take our own intiatives and responsibilities to make this relationship work and to keep the romance strong.
This might come as a revelation to you, but everytime someone fellowships with God, he/she gets to understand the opposite sex better. How do I know? Ive experienced it, haha.
For the brothers, spending time with God teaches you how to relate with sisters. We get to learn about being sensitive, having a thick skin and a thin heart. Manhood and christlikeness are synonymous.
As for the sisters, spending time with God teaches you how to relate to brothers as well. You learn that God is strong, gives you a sense of security, resourceful. God thinks both like a man AND a woman.
Well guess what Im doing now? Waiting for Service Pack 2 to be installed O_O. Yes, I reformatted my laptop. The trojan overkilled me when it attached itself to the Winlogon.exe! OMG. If its within the windows system and files, I can still scan and remove it. But if its on my windows logon, I dont even get a chance to do anything to it! =/
After all, you need to login FIRST then you can have access to your antivirus/spybot right? =S
So yea..installing everything from scratch. =x All my songs! T_T Anyway, I managed to back up those songs that meant a lot to me. Well they're not really songs but they're prophecies Ps spoke during some sermons. Wyelin will know what Im talkin abt haha, cus I dont remember sending it to anyone else. :O Maybe Im wrong, but the last person I sent it to, was her.
So yea..STONED! Im so 'originally pirated'. Im downloading all the original software with keys from a torrent website! How cool is that! AND!!! Its gonna take so long man =x
Nvm, at least Im downloading Download Accelerator Plus PREMIUM!! WAHAHA! 4 times my download speed instead of the usual 2x with the free version! LOL! OWNED!
And I got the latest Norton too. With original product key wahaha. Someone kill me please. LOL!
Then again, boohoo..loooong waiting time =x

Leadership Files - Positive or Negative Focus
Quote - "No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit." - Helen Keller
Positive or Negative, it's your choice.
The negative easily hijacks our focus.
It takes no effort at all to be negative.
The human nature veers towards the negative without any help at all.
If you want to grow weeds in your garden, do nothing with the garden.
If you want to grow plants, that takes effort.
It means removing weeds regularly.
Constant vigilance keeps our minds and hearts free from the negatives.
Our minds are like soil.
Plant potatoes, reap potatoes.
Plant roses, reap roses.
-Rev Dr Phil Pringle

Video 31 - Sister Andrew
Okay, this is not my new video (The new vid is below) but Id love to re-emphasize this hahaha. I really cant stand people who shake their heads vigorously when listening to music!! OR worse..they blast their MP3s on the train!
Come on, if you wanna blast at least blast it on a decent speaker! Not some tweety-bird handphone speaker that has 100% treble and high-mid and NO BASS! LOL. Maybe I should do a video for inconsiderate music blasters! O_O
There you have it, introducing:
DJ Enrichment - Lesson 0 - Why people shouldnt shake their heads when listening to music.
Id probably get killed for doing this..lol.
Im quite soft so..yea..volume up please! LOL. I think I better provide subtitles for this =x
Helloooooo!
Welcome to another edition of Andrew Online; on YouTube.com
This is a very gaaay video.
Why? Because youuuu are looking at a very gaaay man.
Im so gay, you cant even recognise whether Im a male or female.
And..you know what else is so funny? This..
HUH? Im a man again.

Cyberdrone Skin
Took me 2 hours to do this skin.
Best viewed at 1024 x 768 resolution.
Looks great on both IE and Firefox. =)
Started from scratch, using Dreamweaver. Well, let's just say my links are gone! SO! If you're link is not there do PM me. =) How did all my links disappear? Well, I was bored so I decided to explore Blogskins.com
Apparently, I applied a skin. YAY! And realised that skin had empty links. And so, I couldnt retrieve back my old data. Crap. Haha. Anyway, I re-did the entire thing cus modifying other people's templates is just so troublesome lol.
Everything looks fine at the moment. Im thinking how I could change the links and the archives. They look like one whole chunk of words. Maybe thinking of changing the color or something. What do you guys think?
And..too bad I cant change the imeem player embedding colour. lol. =x

Thoughts, Last service at JW
I shall begin with a sidetrack..
Yesterday after service, while we were walking to the MRT station, I dont know if anyone noticed one of our members was feeling down. He was walking all by himself. I saw him and I felt compassion for him. Because I know how it feels.
I went to talk to him, even though Im not really a good communicator, I did my best to cheer him up. Its not easy to face parental objection. He really needs all the support he can get. The fact that he could make it for service last night was really by God's grace. I dont need to mention who, it should be pretty obvious.
At expo station, he sat by himself on the bench, while everyone was talking and laughing, I noticed him. I went to sit with him, I started talking to him, about his work, about his shoes, trying to get him to cheer up and not think about what his parents were gonna say when he gets home. It was rather late. And I could feel he was worried.
I could tell that he wanted fellowship with us. He wanted to make every moment count whenever he could come for service.
Dont ask me how, I just felt it coming out from him the moment I looked at him. When he boarded the train, he went 2-3 doors away from the celgrp. I noticed him. I went with him. I dont know if anyone realised I was missing too. I could feel he needed some time alone, someone who could listen, someone who could understand.
We alighted at Tanah Merah and he went home, quietly boarding the west bound train. I said goodbye to him. Joined the rest in the train to Pasir Ris. I was really surprised. We were at Tampines when someone asked where was he.
I dont know, I just feel that sometimes we gotta be more aware of whats going on. Im introverted, so I dont speak a lot. But I can be 'high' sometimes. But when Im not, its not that Im emoing or anything. Im just listening and observing. Well actually, most of the time I am. I reflect alot and I meditate alot on revelations, things that have happened etc.
Im like a walking iMing haha, if you can put it that way.
"You will never know how much of a servant you are, until people treat you like one".
This phrase kept ringing in my head throughout the day.
Waking up at 7am, I was sleepy, tired, hungry. Adopting the 'soundcrew syndrome' of being the last to reach home, first to reach church. I could do so much with that 1-2hrs.
My dream finally became a reality, only to realise, that I would lose it the moment I found it. 2nd row, right where the presence of God is, I prayed the night before, I prayed when I woke up, I prayed when I reached early and was queueing alone..that God would give us good seats. I prayed that Elaine's friends would experience the anointing and the presence of God and would respond to the altar call..
We did it. We were finally there.
But in a split second, it was gone. Not only the seat where I was, far away, I was really distracted by ushers moving to and fro, talking on comms, moving people, I cant help but to stare at the cameraman and at the sound crew in front, I was really distracted..
It was one of the most dry easter service I have been to. I felt like running out of the hall, I felt like leaving my seat and moving to the front to seat alone. I am not there to please people, I am there to please God. I didnt give of my time to enjoy a good drama, I gave of my time for the friends who were coming.
I gave of my time, so that they will be touched, so that they can focus on the drama and on the word, without people walking to and fro in front of them. I gave of my time so that they will be saved. I did everything, for the friends.
I wasnt caught up by the excitement of seeing how Jurong drama is gonna be like, I was focused on the mission, on the friends. I was really discouraged this easter. But I told myself the least I could do was to engage the friends, get them a place where they can experience God in a tangible way.
Somehow things didnt work out, somehow it seemed that it wasnt their time. Or did I make a mistake? Did I not try hard enough to save those seats in front? I felt really uneasy. Deep down in my spirit, I could sense things werent right.
I had the faith that Elaine's friends would respond. Somehow things changed. When I walked into that row I knew this was it. I felt so lost.
Drama was good. And many went forward and Im happy to God for that. Maybe the friends of the celgrp that sat at the 2nd row went up? Maybe it was their time. Maybe the friends who sat on the 2nd row needed God more than Elaine's friends? That thought just didnt make me feel at ease, but I knew God was in control.
I felt really used. That was when I remembered the phrase I typed earlier on. And I was reminded, what you do, sometimes people dont appreciate, sometimes people dont get the picture, sometimes people wont understand what you are going through, sometimes people dont know how your week has been.
No one is perfect. But God is perfect. Man will let you down but God will never let you down. Even if I dont feel God's presence, I will still lift my hands, I will still praise Him, I will still worship Him. Even if God doesnt bless me, I will still love Him.
Good times, bad times...He is the God of my forever.
Obedience is better than sacrifice.

Ministry, Easter Expo service 1, 2, 3, 4.
Soloed entire Expo Hall 1 conference area and overflow yesterday for service 1, with a little help from Ronald here and there. Not bad, I learnt to troubleshoot aircons and reset the conference room circuit breaker in the event of a blackout haha.
So yea, there are 3 childrens' church conference rooms, 3 nursery rooms and 2 overflow areas, but only one was opened. So yea. Still quite challenging but it was fun. During overflow, the signal from mains feed suddenly went up and Ps Tan's voice became distorted lol..I panicked for like 10 seconds. But thank God it dropped. =x
Met Xinyi, we both were like talking crap la haha.."Hi you look familiar", "Oh hi, you look like my friend leh, his name is Andrew". LOL. Whatever hahaha. Left expo around 1030pm. Even though I was really tired, literally walking around for 2 services, but Im really glad because its these little things that I do..that made people encounter God, even if its just the overflow room.
And..one more thing, we still had hall 2 carnival sound system as well as hall 2 overflow! LOL. But thank God everything went smoothly. Went home alone haha..oh wells.
Im just so marvelled by how Elaine's friends responded. Like she said, its really not the work of man, but really when you look at how God moves, you'll know its Him. Tangible, experiential relationship. :D
Went early to queue with Thad, Elaine and Jo today. Service 1-4 was great. Tmr is Jurong time! haha! Finally! The long wait for the Jurong drama hahaha.
Met wyelin today. Im really glad that ure able to attend service 4 :) God is never late :P
After service went to Eric's 21st. Thanks for inviting us man and happy 21st! =) Thank God we managed to catch the last train. :O Its gonna be another long day later. I might miss out certain things in this entry, as Im dozing off even as I type haha.
But..I really love this song. I wanted the Planetshakers' version :( From My King album.
Its one of those songs I use for my QT when I first came to church 4 years ago. :D Okay, Im sleep-blogging. Totally random. Eyes closing. =x

Interview video.
Ive seen his instructional DVD, esp at the credits where he gave thanks to God FIRST before anyone else! =O This guy's a christian will you believe it? =) Not only is he the fastest, he's the best. :D
I like what he said, "I dont go round partying, you gotta stay focused. I mean, what is given to you can be taken away." It sounds familiar doesnt it? If you lose your focus and fail to exercise your gifts, they can be neglected. (Gifts of the Holy Spirit BS class).
Here's part 2. =) Enjoy.

Step up 2, Night jog
First of all, gotta love the new Imeem player. =)
Makaning session at QQ Park Mall was great. Haha. Love the noodles. Pohchoo was reminding me, 'eh, why you never eat curry chicken? I thought you got craving?' hahaha. Yea, I think I got brainwashed by the Set 1 LOL. Will try it some other time. Ha.
After that celebrated Elaine's birthday! Happy birthday once again girl! Hope you enjoyed yourself last night. =) One year older, but one year wiser. You have more breakthroughs to come! =)
Movie was great. Ill rate it 4.5/5 haha. The missing 0.5 is probably for my 'type' of movie. Haha. Its surprisingly good for a type of movie I dont watch haha cause Im an action/thriller movie kinda guy. Heh.
We ended about 11pm, left the place around 1120pm. And on the way back Karwen was asking me if I wanna go jogging. So yea, I didnt mind and Thad went along too.
At 1230am, I met up with Thad and Karwen at my void deck. And we started running Thad's newly invented route haha. Wanted to be more 'adventurous' so okay lor. Haha.
This is my first time running that route too. Ran to Thad's house's bus stop, turned left, ran past Boon Lay Sec (behind), turned one round, ran past Pioneer mall and past the Park towards the new MRT track extending from Boon Lay and ran back via my usual route.
And boy oh boy, I was reeeeally stretched, not only was the distance longer, I ran an extra round. Cause Thad says that your body only starts burning fats and calories after 20minutes. So okay lor. Haha. Then kar was like blading past us LOL.
After running met up with Karyie, Torance and Xinyi. HahaKar keep on calling me monkey ahhhhh LOL. Wanted to go Mac to sit down and chill but it was closed. Amazing right? 24 hour mac, closed! LOL.
So we went to sit on the benches outside 7/11 and 'Koufu' hahaha. Had a drink.
And man, I laughed for one hour. Crazy torance lol..I see his face I wanna laugh already! So many lame jokes, I laughed until my face was all red rofl. Then they started playing the thinking games, like the 'where is the mrt now?', 'if this is 5 and this is 3, what is this?' and so many more!
But the ultimate was Torrance's coin game OMG! Got 4 levels one! I already took like almost an hour to figure out level1! And level 2 I kinda got it but there was something wrong lol. Man, and that guy refuse to teach us!!! =((
Hahaha. But thats what makes it fun. What he will do is shuffle a set of coins and you'll have to guess a number between 1-5 for level 1, 1-10 for level 2. I havent even seen level3!!! OMG.
Sat there for one hour staring at his hands, his coins and really cracking our brains out. I think Thad got level2 while me, karwen and xinyi just sat there and stoned lol. Its a really hard, but a really smart game. I cant believe Torrance is so free to come up with these kind of things LOL.
Next time we queueing for service or chalet-ing, we'll know what to do haha. Seriously. We spent almost 2 hours trying to decipher the coins and we're only at level2 OMG. We could go on forever hahaha.
Tor was telling me, the highest at the moment is level 4, and even at level 4, its tough EVEN for the person doing the trick! :O Well, Im glad his cg has seen level3, but seriously hahaha. Adrenaline from running, adrenaline from laughing and sitting there, chilling, fellowshipping and really cracking my brains...
Healthy lifestyle hahahaha. Better than smoking, clubbing or drugs. ;) Not only you charge up your body, you charge up your brains, and all the laughing charges up your emotions. Refreshes you body, spirit and soul. Haha. 3 in 1.
We were even more high than the people smoking a few benches behind us haha. I think we made such a commotion that if we were to play the coin game at a void deck, the police sure come! LOL.
Anyway we ended about 3am, cause Tor has to work. So yea. Really had a good time. Lets do it again. xD. Slept at 4, woke up, feeling so refreshed and ready to take the day!
Finally some fighting action in Bleach!
Easter in few days time! Must chiong! =x

For some strange reason I got a craving for chicken curry..yummy, drools. LOL. And...I need to find a new game to play. Im getting too old for games. =/
Oh yes, I got this from Eileen's blog:The greatest perseverance is not running to be the winner.

Rev Dr Phil Pringle - Service 4
Credits goes to Thomas, Alicia, Karwen.
OFFERING MESSAGE
The church grows in a time of war.
A church that shakes the world is a church that fights the devil.
When you ask for a pot, God gives you clay.
When you ask for a tree, God gives you seed.
E.g. parable of the talent.
Everything begins in a seed.
God wants you to be involved in the GROWTH and MATURITY of the seed.
God gives you the power, you apply it.
To remember someone it means, to give/pay tribute.
E.g. to remember a birthday, is to buy a present, etc.
Tithing is a law. It works whether you believe it or not.
E.g. whether you believe gravity or not, even though you believe you can fly,
the moment you jump off a high spot, you WILL drop!
Your offering can bring in the biggest blessing, but without the tithe,
Which opens the windows of heaven, no matter how great your blessing is,
Its still being shut off because your tithe belongs to God, it is sacred.
Keep it and it becomes a curse, give it to God and you open the windows of heaven. Only then will your blessings rain down. E.g. a country without an open heaven experiences famine, civil war, etc.
E.g. North and South Korea. Both are alongside each other, but on one side, an opened heaven, on the other side, a closed heaven.
SERMON
God is not looking for innocence, He is looking for virtue.
Virtue is innocence tested and innocence THAT HAS passed the test.
Virtue brings in power in your life, that power can flow through you,
To heal, deliver, etc.
The devil attacks you with "If you are"; He doesnt care how high your calling is.
He attacks you in the area of your self-doubt.
Baby Jesus had no consciousness of being God, He grew up like a normal man.
He understood who He was by REVELATION.
Dont just suppose Jesus is with you, KNOW He is there.
Why did you God give you emotions? To feel and experience God!
Feelings can determine life or death!
E.g. people commit suicide not because of facts of situations or logic going on in their mind, but because of a feeling!
God gave us feelings for the positive.
You have to be healed inside, before you can be healed outside.
You have to be prosperous inside, before you can be prosperous outside.
Etc, etc...
If you can see it, you can have it.
The anointing is not just for preachers, but for every believer baptised in the Holy Spirit.
No Holy Spirit, no anointing.
There's a price to pay for the anointing,
a price which you may have to pay for the rest of your life.
Sometimes God will ask you to do what you cannot do.
At the same time, He will not ask you to do what He hasnt already equipped you to do.
Understand your weakness.
Understand the area in which you need God the most.
God's anointing and power falls on you the moment you realise you cant do it on your own.
When you are weak, He is strong.
(But it doesnt mean you put yourself down and despise yourself).
Its all about the anointing.
And when people finally see it, they glorify God and not man.
You have to stir up the anointing.
The anointing teaches you to do things you have not known how to do.
But that is no excuse for you to be lazy.
3 KEYS TO THE ANOINTING:
1. Emerge through your trials victoriously.
2. Acknowledge your weakness and depency on God.
All of us have an anointing in us; a measure of faith.
2 Cor 1:2
3. Wait on God.
Isaiah 40:31, Isaiah 64:5
Dont go ahead of God.
7 FACTS OF THE ANOINTING:
1. The anointing is tangible.
Mark 5:30
You can feel it.
When its there, you know its there.
2. The anointing sets you free.
Isaiah 10:27
There is liberty in the anointing of God.
Liberty is not the freedom to do what you want, liberty is the freedom to resist what you dont want.
3. The anointing enables you to do the impossible.
It teaches you, it guides you, it equips you to do the will of God.
4. The anointing brings you joy.
Isaiah 61:3
We should be the most fun people.
We should be the most colorful, the most happening, the most creative, the most productive, the most talented and skillful, the most prosperous, the most successful.
God is not a beige and boring God. If he'd just given you what you NEEDED, He'd given you black and white vision. Why give you colors? He couldve just fed you with potatoes, why feed you with fish? And fish alone, there are thousands of species!
God may be big and mighty, but He sure knows how to dance when He rejoices!
Being in a mess yourself isnt gonna help others in a mess.
5. The anointing can be imparted.
Luke 4:16-18, Heb 6
6. The anointing has a measure.
It can be increased. It can drop.
7. The anointing is here to revive and refresh.
2 Kings 4, Acts 3:19
'Refreshing' - recovery from the effects of heat.
Feel free to let me know if I missed out on anything. Oh yes, thanks Timo and Thad for the cg refreshments :) It was uber shiok haha. The last we had pizza even more shiok LOL.
Okay, I have no idea why I put up the offering message haha. I guess I got too excited about typing notes lol. I just love typing. :D

He understood who He was by REVELATION.
Dont just suppose Jesus is with you, KNOW He is there.
Why did you God give you emotions? To feel and experience God!
Feelings can determine life or death!
E.g. people commit suicide not because of facts of situations or logic going on in their mind, but because of a feeling!
God gave us feelings for the positive.
You have to be healed inside, before you can be healed outside.
You have to be prosperous inside, before you can be prosperous outside.
Etc, etc...
If you can see it, you can have it.
The anointing is not just for preachers, but for every believer baptised in the Holy Spirit.
No Holy Spirit, no anointing.
There's a price to pay for the anointing,
a price which you may have to pay for the rest of your life.
Sometimes God will ask you to do what you cannot do.
At the same time, He will not ask you to do what He hasnt already equipped you to do.
Understand your weakness.
Understand the area in which you need God the most.
God's anointing and power falls on you the moment you realise you cant do it on your own.
When you are weak, He is strong.
(But it doesnt mean you put yourself down and despise yourself).
Its all about the anointing.
And when people finally see it, they glorify God and not man.
You have to stir up the anointing.
The anointing teaches you to do things you have not known how to do.
But that is no excuse for you to be lazy.
3 KEYS TO THE ANOINTING:
1. Emerge through your trials victoriously.
2. Acknowledge your weakness and depency on God.
All of us have an anointing in us; a measure of faith.
2 Cor 1:2
3. Wait on God.
Isaiah 40:31, Isaiah 64:5
Dont go ahead of God.
7 FACTS OF THE ANOINTING:
1. The anointing is tangible.
Mark 5:30
You can feel it.
When its there, you know its there.
2. The anointing sets you free.
Isaiah 10:27
There is liberty in the anointing of God.
Liberty is not the freedom to do what you want, liberty is the freedom to resist what you dont want.
3. The anointing enables you to do the impossible.
It teaches you, it guides you, it equips you to do the will of God.
4. The anointing brings you joy.
Isaiah 61:3
We should be the most fun people.
We should be the most colorful, the most happening, the most creative, the most productive, the most talented and skillful, the most prosperous, the most successful.
God is not a beige and boring God. If he'd just given you what you NEEDED, He'd given you black and white vision. Why give you colors? He couldve just fed you with potatoes, why feed you with fish? And fish alone, there are thousands of species!
God may be big and mighty, but He sure knows how to dance when He rejoices!
Being in a mess yourself isnt gonna help others in a mess.
5. The anointing can be imparted.
Luke 4:16-18, Heb 6
6. The anointing has a measure.
It can be increased. It can drop.
7. The anointing is here to revive and refresh.
2 Kings 4, Acts 3:19
'Refreshing' - recovery from the effects of heat.
Feel free to let me know if I missed out on anything. Oh yes, thanks Timo and Thad for the cg refreshments :) It was uber shiok haha. The last we had pizza even more shiok LOL.
Okay, I have no idea why I put up the offering message haha. I guess I got too excited about typing notes lol. I just love typing. :D

Ministry, Love
Okay, Ive got LOTS of things to blog about. Both yesterday and today. So Ill break it down into 2 separate posts before people doze off reading my blog hahaha.
First of all, really thankful cus this is the first time I actually received a graduation card and a small gift. LOL. Really appreciate it, thanks.
Lets talk about ministry yesterday first..(in order of events) hahaha.
It was good. Learned so much more when exposed to doing the entire recording session alone. Cus when you're in a team, you tend to me more relaxed, dependable and 'slack' if I can put it that way.
Whereas when you're alone, during a BIG DAY, it makes all the difference. You're learning to be independent yet at the same time working as a team, the pressure and the stress is greater. But Ive learnt over the years, God doesnt ruin His own service, if you're at a point you're gonna make a major screw up, He'll rescue you. He will hahaha, if not how is He gonna glorify Himself right? :D
And so, first time, in dunno how long, the Chinese Interpreter CD ran out halfway during service! OMGosh you had no idea how tense and nervous I was. Well, if the english sermon CD runs out, I can instantly continue on another fresh CD because we have 2 recording decks, whereas the interpreter sermon, we only have one deck..so...
It means, I have to compile the CD, burn, take it out, put in a new one and continue recording.
Now the catch here is this: Will the chinese sermon be missed out while doing that? Will certain words be cut? :S That got me worried. But its always at the end of yourselves that God pulls through for you.
I really experienced what serving WITH God is all about.
The HS is like my team IC.
"Andrew, wait for awhile..(2min in CD remaining..)"
"God, its gonna end!"
"Calm down."
"Okay, compile now.."
"Oh..ok"
"Lord, its done."
"Wait, dont take it out yet."
"Huh? This is not a comedy man..time is running out :O"
"Just wait..trust Me."
"Errr..okay (feeling even more tense)"
"Okay, put in the new CD now and wait awhile.."
"Whaaat? Wait again? What if I miss out on some words?"
"Andrew, what if you dont listen to me?"
"Er..okay, whatever you say."
"Okay, record in 5 seconds' time."
"Done! OMG WOOT!"
And can you believe it, I swapped while they were singing in the spirit, and exactly when I pressed the REC button, Ps Phil spoke and the interpreter spoke..ONE SECOND AFTER I PRESSED IT!
So...not only did I come in at the right cue, I didnt waste more than 1 second of a CD space, which is really a professional recording standard I believe! (to make sure the track doesnt start more than x seconds after the CD runs, etc.). Really praise God for that. Haha you think Timo is our ganchiong spider, at that moment I was REALLY ganchiong. What an experience! =)
Okay, just a little sidetrack, the word "Cue" got me stuck.
When I first wanna spell it out, I was like, "Que? Queue? Kill? No wait, that sounds wrong, ku? Cu? Kiu?" Then I asked our very own E420 english teacher, Prof Ho! HAHAHAHA! Good job, lol..I felt so enlightened haha.
Okay, back to ministry.
So yea. Haha. God never loses His cool, thats what I like about Him. =) Fellowship was good, was glad Pam could make it despite her hectic schedule. =) And Im glad I could too, cus the burning of CDs was like..man! LOL. Could take almost an hour.
Oh oh oh! OH YES!! ONE MORE THING!
Im really thankful hahaha..BECOS..I had to do a live CD burn during praise and worship for PASTOR KONG! OMG. I really hope he smiles and encounters God when he listens to the praise n worship CD. :x Its really the favor of God..really. Having a role to play in pastor kong's life is really something Ive never dreamed about.
I have total respect for that man of God. Next to Jesus, Ps Kong was the one that challenged me, and gave me the boldness and the faith to be who I am today.
All in all, what can I say?
Open doors to do solo recording on a big day, recording and burning a praise n worship CD for pastor kong, and I encountered the true meaning of serving WITH God, not just FOR God.
Its really touching to know, that even though the Holy Spirit is your "Team leader", sometimes even Him could humble himself to a level of a servant and serve together with you. I mean, He is God, this proves one thing!
God desires fellowship, not just duty.
God desires relationship, not just ministry.
God desires obedience, not just sacrifice.
If the Holy Spirit himself delights to serve in the house of God, WITH US, how much more should we really appreciate spending every moment, every second with Him?
Its not about whether we do well or not, its not about whether we screw up or not, one day we WILL screw up, because all of us are imperfect, but the Holy Spirit will say,
"Its okay, Come on, lets do this together. I dont care if you're good of bad, smart of not so smart, good looking or not as good looking, talented in this or talented in that, to Me, I love you for who you are with an everlasting love. Your life is worth even more than my OWN life, that is why I chose to lay down my life, for you. I just wanna be with you. Being with you and talking to you, means all the world to me."
That blew my mind. To lay down one's life for another, it means that our lives are worth much more that even Jesus's own life at that time, His sinless life, His life of power and anointing, all His signs and wonders, means nothing compared to our lives, compared to our salvation!
Its about spending time with each other, its about fellowship, its all about relationship.
We are all married to God. Lets start living like a couple. Lets stop living like married singles, when we will get so busy with life we forget all about God. So busy that in the morning that when we wake up, we dont even say Hi to God let alone blow Him a kiss.
Lets get back that first love, and be lovers all over again. =)
Celgrp was great. Haha. Gave my testimony today. But really this year 4 has been a really long and rough year for me. Many THINGS happened, haha. Well, to sum it all up, the end is indeed better than the beginning!
People in the world might despise me or laugh at me, "HAHA! YEAR 4, CALL YOURSELF A CHRISTIAN HUH?"
Well, I dont really care.
Its in this year, that I walked down the altar call with a friend for the first time.
Its in this year, that I became more secure with myself and have a better self-esteem.
Its in this year, that I had so many encounters that I cannot number.
Its in this year, that I met a whole lot of great people.
Its in this year, that I experienced the great financial blessing.
Its in this year, I loved God even more than all the other years combined.
Also, I completed my building fund faster this season, despite pledging an even greater amount than the previous one! Multiplication of God. =)
God has a purpose in success, God has a purpose in failure.
To despise failure is to despise God.
Who are you to say what will happen?
Who are you to predict the future?
All things..WILL work out good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose!
Sermon notes for Service 4, coming up! =)

Lots of updates, PM
Replies to tag (John):
I think I better reply here haha cus I know ill type a whole load of things. =) Its okay, dont have to help me 'talk' to them haha. Im not really affected. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks, it just merely reveals to everyone what kind of heart, what kind of attitude 'HAHA' has, and u know my hit count..lol..so many people are actually seeing what he/she typed.
I dont even know if its a he or a she, maybe a gay or les. LOL I dont really bother if the person is male, female, shemale, bimbo, himbo, animal or whatever. Besides, they're just strangers. To be affected by strangers is like a guy trying to understand the language of a monkey lol. Whether the person is offended or not, I dont really bother either. lol.
If a person wanna start a conversation, he/she better be prepared to receive a reply/consequence. He/she wants attention, e person can have all the attention he/she wants lol. Its really embarrassing to start something and not finish it. And to have so many people looking, indeed, thats attention and recognition. haha. Unglam recognition.
Anyway, jiayou in your army bro. You can do it! =)
Anyway, I got good news. I PASSED!!! WOOHOO! HAHA! NO MORE PROGRAMMING!!!! YEAAAAHHH!!! LOL!!! BUANG MAN!!! BUANG!!!! LOL!
Okay, yesterday went to JW church at night to help out with the easter rehearsal. Ive seen the expo drama and I can say, man..our friends need to see it! =) Just watching the rehearsal itself, I already felt the presence of God and the anointing in the drama. It was just awesome.
Well, basically its my first time helping out for a rehearsal for a big event like Easter 2008. I mean, this year, we have like TWO dramas for the english services alone. Chinese church, childrens church, dialect church, and even the JAMS church, have their own drama team. Its just amazing. To all drama actors and actresses, you guys are doing such a great job every year, keep it up. :D
And so, I was supposed to help change beltpacks between the actors during scene transition. But some of them, like the ones I helped with, had a really really short transition. Its like A goes backstage, and IMMEDIATELY B has to come out. And I had to change beltpacks and check their earpiece in that short amount of time before B comes out.
It was really ganchiong for me, but it was fun and worth the experience haha. It was the equivalent of the drama stage crew. =) Ended at about 1030pm before going back home. Really great experience.
Just came back from Friday night PM. I was told they were gonna make it an official thing. Every friday we would have service PM. Those who dont have cg and wanna come can just come. And I really have to much to talk about.
The praise and worship was just fantastic, haha maybe its because we're in JW. JW rocks! haha. Anyway, yea..presence of God was there and it was so easy to pray. Really easy to flow. After awhile, it kinda felt like OPM haha. Man, Im hoping we get another OPM again soon. :D
Prayed for many things. But the highlight was the last 45 mins after our short break. The secret place moment. As we sang this song..I was just so moved to tears. We waited for God for 20-30 minutes, and finally He came.
And its an experience ill never forget. All of us were on our knees and Ps Tan was sharing about how last time when he was young, when everyone was out having recess and hanging out with his friends, he would go to a quiet corner and be alone, listening to praise n worship, as well as some sermon tapes. And how he would just have a secret place moment right there and then...
And was we knelt there I was reminded..how those times during celgrp, we waited and waited for God, and finally He shows up. Those times, when everyone was having fun and I was there all by myself, but I was all by myself, with God.
Its those small secret moments that no one sees, that really meant alot to me. During my fellowship with God, its in those times that I felt, money has no more meaning, success means nothing, promotion means nothing, my posessions mean nothing, NOTHING AT ALL matters anymore...God was all I had, and God was all I needed.
There nothing more satisfying than to spend time with the one you love. Its really amazing how sometimes we can be so busy and have no time to spend with God, we may not even have time to THINK about God. We're always talking about school, about people, about money matters, but hardly about God.
And its kinda sad when we matter so much to God and yet we leave Him out of the picture. :(
He's always been waiting for us, He always has time, He's always there, always listening. Sometimes we have to just make room for God, like Ps Phil once said.
In the midst of our times of distress, God has always been so eager to give us a solution, always so eager to give us His "secret plan", but we're just too busy, too occupied to lend Him a listening ear and to let Him move.
Prayer should be part of our lives. Its not a religious duty, its not a chore, but a delight, a lifestyle. And I was reminded about ahma.
Sometimes prayer can be as simple as, "Dear God, help xxx to promote in his job. Amen." I was so blessed after I went to ahma's house. I think Ill make this my goal in 2008, everyday, to pray for every cg member and family member. =) Something like:
Adam: Dear God, I pray that you will give him strength, wisdom and anointing in his studies and as he leads the celgrp.
Timo: Dear God, I pray that you give him favor and strength in his workplace and I pray that You will bring him to a place of promotion.
And so on. Really short, specific and simple. =) Ill prob make a checklist. And everyday, just make those short prayers. Mebbe u guys can try it too. haha.
Doing recording tmr, Im really excited for pre-service PM tmr. =) We need more prayer meetings! =) hahaha. Friday PMs are good. Because we have lots of time to tarry in the presence of God. Thats where our strength flows, thats where we receive revelation and direction.
And I also remembered while we knelt on the floor, God began to speak to me. "Andrew, will you take the extra effort to live by my presence every single day?" And I said "Yes Lord, Ill not live one day without your presence. Even if Im so busy, even if a toilet break is all Ive got. Ill make every moment count.."
We have one life to live, lets live it for God and make everyday count. =)
I think I better reply here haha cus I know ill type a whole load of things. =) Its okay, dont have to help me 'talk' to them haha. Im not really affected. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks, it just merely reveals to everyone what kind of heart, what kind of attitude 'HAHA' has, and u know my hit count..lol..so many people are actually seeing what he/she typed.

Quiz, Updates, Thoughts
| What Andrew Lee Means |
 You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row. You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace. People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are very charming... dangerously so. You have the potential to break a lot of hearts. You know how what you want, how to get it, and that you will get it. You have the power to rule the world. Let's hope you're a benevolent dictator! You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. |
Something happened to me today that made me so touched and blessed.
Went to visit ahma today and have dinner at her place cus she has some form of swelling in her toes and she's not able to move much. As we talked, there was so much I wanna say. But Im not able because of my influency in hokkien dialect. I can communicate to ahgong though, through mandarin.
So after eating I sat down with them, and heard them sharing their life and really encouraging me alot, to do well in my studies, in work, and in future in the army and God-willing, university. And its really encouraging to know that people care, that people believe in you.
Cause they were just sharing and, I may not be able to speak fluent hokkien, but I can certainly listen and understand. And it really touched me that they believe that Im able to earn big bucks and do so well in my academics that I could go overseas to Australia after my army to pursue my degree or even masters.
When I heard that, that blew me away. And just sitting there listening, I was almost moved to tears, when ahma told me,
"Do you know, everyday when I wake up, I pray for you, I pray that God will bless you in your studies, relationships..I even pray for your future when you go into army, that God will promote you and give you tremendous favor, and that He will bless you with good friends and a great life partner in future. I also pray for your future, that you will be successful in your career and pursue higher levels of education, having more than enough wealth, and that when one day when you make it big, you will remember the Lord and I pray that He will bless you tremendously as you remember Him and put Him first."
When I heard that I almost teared.
And I began to think to myself, what have I been doing all these while? Im gonna do my best, Im gonna work even harder, pray even harder, fast even harder.
I was so moved, she's not well, and yet every morning she wakes up, she has me in her prayers. She's in her most senior years, and yet she can have this fervency in prayer! Im just at a loss of words, all these while, the blessings I had, the friends God has blessed me with...
I really dont now what to say when I realised all these doors of opportunities and favor, God has poured upon me...it was all because of the prayer of one woman; Prayer that no one knows, prayer that no one except God who sees.
And I dont even know since WHEN she has started praying for me. Maybe all these years, maybe since the day she got saved. I really dont know, and just thinking about it made me tear.
Everything, every encounter, everytime we experienced God during celgrp, was because of the simple prayer by my ahma, even though she's senior in age, and despite being in discomfort because of her toe. :(
And I only visit her like once in 6 months and during chinese new year. Since I grew up, I no longer visit her as often anymore. I remembered when I was young, Everyday during holidays, I would long to go to her place, because her cooking is just so nice. And she's always smiling.
My eyes are wet just blogging about this. She reminds me so much of Jesus. How many times have we strayed away from Him? How many times have we let Him down? But yet He kept on loving, kept on interceding, kept on believing in us, kept on providing for us, kept on loving us.
When was the last time you prayed for someone?
How often do you pray for him/her?
Did it cost you anything?
Really moved. Really really moved. So touched, so impacted. Tears flow.
Money doesnt move my heart, gifts dont move my heart, acts of kindness dont move my heart, being good lookin doesnt move my heart, talented and skillful people dont move my heart. But being Jesus, moves my all and melts every dry and hardened area.
How often do you think about Him?
How often do you talk or even blog about Him?
How often do you feel Him so close to you?
Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
If God isnt in your mouth, He isnt in your heart.
Jesus, take all of me, in exchange for all of You...

Celgrp, fellowship.
I must say cg was good today, but its like everyone still has the 'early morning' syndrome haha. Too relaxed and all comfortable. Haha. But yea, one day we'll break it. =) I believe we can have a QT experience just like how we have always had when we had Secret Place @ my house, CG at Liz's or at Pam's grandma's house @ holland. (Grandma right? or aunt? haha psps..)
After cg went to JP fo makan. Haha..almost everyone ate curry rice while I had the craving for healthy food. So I ordered ginseng herbal chicken! Yummy! haha. One bowl of rice is enough to make me full..and the soup was so healthy and delicious I drank the entire bowl hahaha.
After that went to liz's condo @ Lakeside and played badminton haha. The last time I played was like what..sec 4 PE lesson! LOL! Thad was saying Im a very dangerous player hahahah!
Cus I did crazy things,
like back serve (back facing opponent; which Jolene mastered as well haha),
the 2-handed racket stance (sword stance; which sent TWO shuttlecotts to the 2nd level carpark next to us haha!),
the cross slice, (I only managed to pull this off ONCE :x - pingpong slice technique with a badminton racket. But its quite an unglam stance. You stand sideways, arms crossed, feet together. Then as it comes you open up both arms and slicing the shuttlecott in the process.)
and the dangerous reverse-swing (holding the racket by the handle, but with the head facing the back. This sent a SECOND shuttlecott even higher and further. This time it went up 3 storeys and landed on top of the street lamp!!!! LOL..thank God it dropped down hahahaha!)
Okay, I made those names up hahaha, when ure exposed to the gaming world, you tend to be creative in creating skill/technique names lol.
After that it rained and we ran machiam we having an air raid! LOL. After that we continued for awhile, then rained again. Then rain and stop, rain and stop, like every 1 minute LOL. Then we just continued playing in the rain..move here move there..so troublesome haha.
Sweat like mad, but really enjoyed myself and we were like high throughout. Haha. Because of crazy monkeys like me :O Okay, I was just as retarded as in my videos.
Love the weather. And yes, I langa-ed my thumb nail haha..minor internal bleeding LOL.

Service, double fellowship, lots of sidetrack! =p
Service was awesome. Sermon blew me away. Presence of God overwhelmed me.
Somehow I knew today was a really special day for me. Haha..its the first time my leader in sound ministry asked me, "So andrew, next week for Ps Phil's service, what would you want to do?"
And so, I stunned for a moment, cus all the while, the manpower was arranged and to have someone suddenly ask me, "Where would I wanna do?", it kinda shocked me for a moment.
During worship, the presence of God was overwhelming. Even during the pre-service PM, I could already feel it. It was just awesome.
Another thing that made today special was..I responded to the SOT altar call. =)
Its amazing how everything falls into place.
Last week I was serving and somehow I thought about it, but I gave it a miss.
This week I was given a break from serving.
And.."it so happened" they gave the same altar call. I knew God was calling me.
When pastor led that altar call..deep down..HS was speaking to me..almost whispering.
"Andrew..recently its been hard on you. You have been through alot. There are so many things you wanna do, so many things you wanna achieve. But do you dare...to trust Me?
Andrew, are you ready...for an adventure of a lifetime? Are you prepared to go where no one has ever gone before? Even when none will follow, will you still go for Me? Will you let me take you for the honeymoon of your life? I have many surprises in stored for you.
Do you...trust Me? All you have to do, is to be willing, you may not be talented, you may not be like others, you may feel yourself lacking in so many areas, but as long as you're willing, as long as you dare to take Me by my hand, and let me bring you to your destiny...nothing shall be impossible...
My hand is stretched out...will you...hold...My...hand...?"
And the presence of God overwhelmed me, I remembered I was in tears, my knees were trembling. My heart was yearning, I just couldnt express how I felt at that time, because no one else understood me more than Him..and I stood.
No one saw me cry in my room, the way He has. The nights I spent crying out to Him, the nights I spend thinking..is this all there is to my life? The nights I spent kneeling before God and crying for a breakthrough, the nights I spent feeling alone..
Living day by day..all alone..He was the only one I ever talked to, He was the only one I ever fellowshipped with from monday to friday. I dont know, I think I spent more time talking to God than even to my celgrp members.
Those times I would sit alone in the almost empty school canteen, looking at people hanging out with friends, and there I was sitting alone, in an isolated corner and God was the only one I ever talked to. And as I ate, I was talking to Him.
Even last night as I was jogging, as I did my cool down and rested by the bench. I had an encounter and the presence of God was so near to me, I could feel Him sitting right beside me. I began tearing and I began crying out to Him.
Its good to be alone. Those times of intimacy with God. Praying in the spirit, crying in the presence, especially after my jog, late at night..no one sees, no one hears, no one knows, and there I am, alone..with God.
Everyday is really a gift from God.
March outreach is coming and everytime they have an outreach, I just feel so left out even before it even started. Because I have never been to ANY..not even ONE..I dont know if anyone can ever understand how it feels to be UNABLE to be there.
LOL, Breakaway, Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc. And it has become a part of me, that no matter how excited I try to be, somehow, something would just happen. Everytime Im asked to write a pledge card, I think about who I wanna reach out to..and I start to wonder, "is there even a WHO in the first place?"
Well, Ive learnt to live one day at a time.
Some of the things that impacted me during the sermon were these few statements:
The way up is the way down.
Being a person of detail.
If you cant even handle simple things such as money, how can He trust you with true riches? And by true riches He meant things from above, things you cant buy with money, like anointing, the presence of God, the power of God, the power to heal, miracles, signs and wonders.
God uses man, not methods.
He may not necessarily use the talented, but He uses those WILLING to SERVE.
When you truly love someone, serving the person becomes a joy; EVEN if you're not appreciated, even if the person doesnt change!
Unless you learn the art of submission, you'll never be entrusted with authority!
True servants dont just serve the nice, the holy, the friendly, but anyone and everyone, not out of compulsion, fear or duty, but out of love!
You can tell if you're becoming a true servant or not by seeing how you react when people treat you like one!
THAT...BLEW ME AWAY! TO MALAYSIA, INDONESIA, AFRICA...okay thats lame, but yea u get my point haha.
Fellowship after cg was good. I cant believe the people around me eat so much..its scary! lol. I have a rather weird eating habit, I eat here and there throughout the day, I cant eat more than one plate of food every meal..and some people like Eric..I really dont know how he tahan 4 rounds of food!
Char kway tiao, oyster omelette, then wanton mee and chee chiong fun. All in less than 2 hours! OMG lol. And yea, we ate at Old Airport Road. Its like the ultimate. I was asking Eric and thomas what was nice here..thomas told me, this place is the best, you order anything also nice!
Okay, I eventually ended up with a plate of char kway tiao myself. And it was good! Can compare with old hollywood char kway tiao :D Me, thad, timo and Adam went there to makan after out men's 'transformers' meeting lOl.
Very funny, everyone ended taking different buses home. Me, thad and liz took bus 33. Then we thought, aiya! Why didnt we follow tim, elaine and pam? 16 also go tiong bahru mrt wad. So yea, we intended to take all e way to tiong bahru, but unfortunately, 'last train' conscious people like me, decided we drop off at the nearest mrt station cus it was past 11 already.
I mean, if you miss the last train at changi more than 3-4 times and got lost and all alone in the middle of a gang and prostitution infested street at like 1-2am plus, you'll really really REALLY treasure what it means to have good time management, and catch the last train!
And man, today's sermon.."details, details, details, destiny...". Since that incident, Id try my best not to be late. Even if I were, Id inform whoever. Even to the point I report the mrt station Im at, every 15 minutes or so, even to the point sometimes people get fed up when I keep smsing, "Kallang now...", "Bedok now", "Walking there now..", "In the toilet, coming soon..", etc.
Seriously, I dont really bother, haha. I mean, if Im late then I better make sure I take the effort to inform whoever Im supposed to be accountable to about my whereabouts and progress. This should be something automatic, dont wait for people to ask you, 'where are you'.
They should be saying, "Okay okay..can can can..you reach already call me k?". *Because they know you're just gonna keep on smsing until you reach and its 'irritating' hahaha. But its good.
Why? Because you're persistent. You take responsibility and ownership. And if possible, inform people in advance. Whenever Im late for queuing, I make sure I inform whoever's queueing the MOMENT I step out of my house.
Of course, I always make sure I reach there for the prayer meeting. And I do my best to keep my word. And most of the time, if I set a time target I would reach, most of the time I REALLY reach around that time. Why? Because I even take the effort to time the journey and make details and records.
Not because Im good numbers or anything, its just that Ive trained myself to be specific when it comes to time. I take effort to memorize how long it takes from one station to the next, what are the offsets, like time taken for door opening and closing, crowd expectation, peak hour timings, etc.
Just now met karwen to help her tune guitar and taught her some chords. Haha you arent really a tough learner. You learn pretty fast. :D After that met torrance. He just watched 10000BC with his cg haha. I asked him, 'eh how u rate the movie out of 10?'
"oh about 8-9 ba."
"so..how was it?"
"okay lor"
LOL! Okay lor..8-9. O_O haha. But he said the plot is really interesting and nice, so yea, I might consider 'going back in time' to 10000 years BC lol. I dont even know if the show's realistic or not, but Ill give it a try. lol.
Yea, I fellowshipped with them for awhile at my park downstairs and then at my void deck until like 2.45am. Im really thankful to God for placing such great people in my life..I mean, who wouldve thought, the celgrps I minister to, will in return bless me with such great friends, and these friends stay like what? WALKING DISTANCE FROM MY HOUSE! LOL.
Everytime I cant sleep or when Im bored late at night, like past 1-2am, I could just look for these guys lol. Okay its 4am now, having celgrp later.
Sorry if its been a long post, but yea..its a good problem haha.
Thats the way my life is. :)
Somehow I knew today was a really special day for me. Haha..its the first time my leader in sound ministry asked me, "So andrew, next week for Ps Phil's service, what would you want to do?"

Joel Osteen - Dont lose your joy
Taken from http://www.lakewood.cc/
Make the decision not to get upset TODAY.
Submit your plans to God.
Everyday there are things that WILL steal your joy.
John 16:22
No one or nothing can make you unhappy,
No one or nothing can make you upset.
Happiness is a CHOICE!
Take responsibility over your own happiness!
John 14:27
You dont have to have your way to be happy,
Your plans dont have to work out for you to be happy!
Have the right approach!
Its not about circumstances!
Train yourselves to stay in peace!
You cant control your circumstances, but you can control your attitude!
Paul didnt pray for people to be delivered from their problems,
He prayed for them to have the STRENGTH to face them with the right attitude!
Sometimes people dont change, but YOU can change!
Anything you need to have in order to be happy, the enemy can use that against you.
Dont wait for things to come so that you can be happy.
Be happy TODAY!
This is the day the Lord has made, I WILL rejoice and be glad in it!
God will fight for you.
Dont wait for other people to change!
You are responsibile for your own happiness!
You may have to love people "from a distance".
Dont blame others, dont blame God, dont blame circumstances,
Just change your circle of company!
If people can frustrate you, they can control you.
Psm 94:13
What you feed is going to grow.
Stop feeding the wrong emotions!
Dont turn little things to big things; We have to be adaptable and flexible!
Take inventory of your life.
Dont give away your joy.
Joy - "calmed delight"
To have joy doesnt mean you dance up and down when you're sick, etc.
More than 75% of all sicknesses and diseases are psychosomatic.
Dont give the excuse: "Im always like that!"
Dont wear a size S when you know you fit a size M!
Learn to make adjustments.
You are exactly at where God wants you to be.
Change the way you think, change the way you see things.
You are responsible for the environment and atmosphere you live in.
You'll never rise above the way you see yourself.
Make the decision not to get upset TODAY.
Submit your plans to God.
Everyday there are things that WILL steal your joy.

To have joy doesnt mean you dance up and down when you're sick, etc.
More than 75% of all sicknesses and diseases are psychosomatic.
Dont give the excuse: "Im always like that!"
Dont wear a size S when you know you fit a size M!
Learn to make adjustments.
You are exactly at where God wants you to be.
Change the way you think, change the way you see things.
You are responsible for the environment and atmosphere you live in.
You'll never rise above the way you see yourself.

Boy oh boy! LOL
Okay, for those who are pissed off by spyware/adware or some trojan/bugs/viruses on laptops or comps, I found this software useful. Its called, "SysTrack".
It can be found HERE.
What does it do?
Well, when you CAD (Ctrl Alt Del), and go to processes, you'll see the active processes your comp is running. How to tell if its a spyware or an adware or a virus?
1. If the name looks weird. (E.g. Porn.exe) or something like that! LOL.
To find out more about process names, http://www.processlibrary.com provides all the information on almost any process! Just type it in, and theyll tell you if its a windows process, a user process or a spyware/adware/virus! =))
2. If for some reason its taking up alot of memory/CPU.
You can easily tell if your comp is suddenly lagging or it becomes really slow. Spyware/adware also hinders your internet connectivity. E.g. you'll experience lag or null responses, page unable to display, etc.
What SysTrack does, is that it displays the details/origins/location of every file/program that USES a particular process. E.g. You see Porn.exe. SysTrack traces it to the file that runs it. So you can end the process/delete the file! =))
Everytime you try to delete an infected file, sometimes it says, Unable to delete, file in use or something like that. Its because that file has attached itself to one of the processes in your comp. You should be able to delete it once its process has ended. Therefore, its no longer in use haha. Thats why you can delete now.
On rare occassions, like my Vundo.trojan, it attaches itself to my windows logon process! OMG. When it happens, you have to remove it BEFORE windows even opens! This requires another software like MoveOnBoot or SpySweeper.
Okay, Im not gonna go into all the technical details. Im just here to introduce SysTrack to all you people who are frustrated with spyware/adware/trojans or viruses. HAHA.
Random.

Programming, Randoms
Went to NUH last night. It went okay. Im glad Im able to step out of my house for once and really talk to someone. The stress is over, but deep down, I really wanna complete it. I dont like to leave things halfway, and the journey so far has been undescribable.
To be at where I am now, Im already very thankful, for the fact that I started out with nothing. I started out knowing nuts, just following the voice of God. Living by faith every single day, clinging on to the hope that God is still faithful.
I really wanna jog these past few days, but the weather is just..TOO COLD! lol. For once, I really want the sun, especially the late afternoon sun, running in this kind of weather isnt gonna make me lose much weight! :(
For some reason I just have the desire to go back to school library next week. Not because I have anything to do, but I really need to get out of my house. Its so lonely to stay at home everyday.
Yes, I should go find a job, but even Mr Png knows,
"Where got people work before enlisting one? When you enlist they ask you, ' what was the last thing you did before enlisting?' and you say 'working and developing software'. Very sad leh..you go in 2 years already enough, please go and have fun, relax and enjoy yourself before you go in."
And just when I wanna exercise, the weather plays prank on me. O_O.
This week not serving. They have plenty of people and Jenny told me to take a break. I really appreciate it. Because now we're serving every week due to the reshuffling of manpower. I mean, when you ask for a break, its one thing..
But when someone asks you to please take a break. It makes a whole lot of difference. Really thank God for great people in my life. Family-wise..its so-so for now. Trying my best to cope, or get used to it. Even though people tell me its not good for my emotional well-being. =/

Rev Dr Ulf Ekman - Service 1 Notes
Isa 41:10
Fear is the opposite of faith.
Fear cripples, deranges your mind, ingnites your feelings, runs through your imagination, constantly pushes you in the wrong direction, expects the worst,
paralyzes your will, blocks yours piritual growth and hinders you.
Fear does not please God.
Fear is a 'robber' in your life.
Mt 25:24-25
What's in your heart will eventually come out of your mouth.
The man with the one talent had a wrong perception of God, his Master, as a result,
That wrong perception caused him to react in fear.
Fear puts crazy and negative ideas when you dont know the truth!
Fear moves very fast!
Fear of God = reverential respect
Rom 8:14-16
The HS speaks through your inside, devil speaks through your mind.
That is why your mind must be renewed.
Sometimes you just have to ignore the devil.
The Word breaks fear.
Fear is a spirit; an influence.
When you're in a situation you cant control, always know that God is your controller.
Faith doesnt mean you do stupid things. Be wise.
Fear -> What you have is not enough compared to what you're supposed to do.
E.g. dont have what it takes, lack, limited, never enough, etc.
God loves you, who are you to hate yourself?
Be who you are, dont be a lousy copy of someone else!
Be real! God is reality! Your reality is God.
You will lose everything you hold on to; you wont lose what you give up.
It is not YOUR calling, YOUR gift, it is GOD's calling, GOD's gift! ETC.
Isaiah 43
If God has a plan and a mission for you here on this earth,
What is there to fear? What He has spoken will accomplish what it has been sent to do.

When you believe, Links updated
Many nights we pray
With no proof anyone could hear
And our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know theres much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we know we could
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
Its hard to kill
Who knows what miracle
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
And now I am standing here
My hearts so full I cant explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought Id say
They dont always happen when you ask
And its easy to give in to your fear
But when youre blinded by your pain
Cant see the way safe through the rain
Thought of a still resilient voice
Says love is very near
With no proof anyone could hear
And our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know theres much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we know we could
There can be miracles

LAME!
To show how much programming has screwed me, I just realised a few minutes ago who Mas Selamat is! O_O. Saw that name on Cin's nick. So I asked, who was that?
My first impressions were:
Hmm its a malay name.
Is he the one who invented the ketupat?
Or is he the one who came up with hari raya?
*Cause selamat ma..
THEN...I saw the internet. OKAY.....!!! -_-"
This is so dumb.
Looking at codes for 4 years has made me even dumber and more lame. Why? Because a programmer sits all the time. Thats why he's lame. Okay, lame.
For those who've heard the charsiewpao and mantou joke, PM me!!! I have part two! LOL!!!

Sunday Service
Okay, so I reached on the dot. Tim was still waiting for his colleague who stays nearby and is coming for the first time, when I left. So when I reached lobby. Tim was accompanying her to level 4 to bring her daughter to childrens' church.
Hahaha so cute. After service the baby went to the fountain at the lobby. She seemed so fascinated by it. haha. then when she finally placed her fingers at the fountain water that was flowing down the 'curve-like' slope, her eyes suddenly became really big and she stood there stoned.
She stared at her fingers for like 20 seconds..big-eyed, and never move LOL. So cute. Is this the first time she's placed her fingers on the fountain? haha. Then she turned her head and looked at mummy, tim and me, big-eyed, with that "???" look on the face haha. Then she stared at the fountain again LOL.
Okay, whats amazing is that..FIR performed for chinese church, before service 4, so praise God, service started at 12.45pm instead. So yea, we thought we were late, but when we entered the hall. They havent start :P They only started 1min after we settled down.

We got seats the moment we entered the hall thanks to a friend haha. Its very rare for me to take individual pictures with other people haha. So yea..praise God haha.
I mean, anyone can take pics with me, Im fine with it. lol. You asked why I looked so stone? Sleepy I guess lol. Ever since my IHP started till now, Ive not been getting any good sleep. I sleep like 3-5 hours everyday consecutively for 3 over months now.
Its a miracle Im still alive lol.
Service was a bit rush tho. Cus we started late. Then yea..next service was dialect. It certainly feels weird to 'fellowship' with a mother. Haha. Its like..Im 5-10 years younger. How do I communicate? What to say? Etc.
It was a very different setting. Esp when she's a new friend. A guest. First time for everything man..haha.
Project..IS KILLING ME! No wait..I thought I was cremated like months ago? Hmm.
Something is wrong..how come Im still here. :O
Jealous! LOL. Nah..this video rocked. Esp at the end..double over-unders! woots.

Service, FIR, Meditations
Service was awesome.
Ministry was too.
FIR's testimony really moved me.
The passion they had, the love they had.
That first love, that child-like faith.
Words that touched, words that impacted.
God is good, all the time.
Celebrity celgrp, now growing till 40 over members.
Time to buck up.
Without Christ, theyve come so far, went so high.
Imagine what they can accomplish now.
Imagine the people of the greater works.
"I cant imagine one day without God" - FIR
Can you live one day without His presence?
Or do you seek Him only during the weekends.
A couple that fellowships together stay together.
How close do you want your walk with God to be?
Then make the effort to stay connected.
Dont live like 'married-singles'.
It doesnt work this way.
Dont just give God your weekends.
Give him your all.
Can you afford to not think of yourself even for one minute?
How much you think of God,
How much you surrender to Him,
Will be how much He will show himself real.
Will be how much you are going to experience Him.
Many things going through my mind.
It may be the same for you.
Perfect conditions never come.
Excuses dont excuse, reasons dont explain.
God moves only when you move,
God stops when you stop.
That which isnt faith is sin.
God takes the initiative to draw us,
We take the initiative to live for Him,
To serve God, to serve people.
A preference is something that gives you a choice.
A conviction takes no for an answer.
There is no "No"; no "wait".
But "Yes, I will obey, no matter what the cost".
Not exams, not PO, not depression, not assignments,
Not debt, not recession, not divorce, not disappointments,
Not loneliness or being alone. Not even when no one does it.
A strong conviction is one that never says no.
One that will still say yes, even if it means losing your life.
Even if it means losing friends who hinder your walk with God.
A true conviction always has a way;
It understands that God's grace is sufficient.
What are your convictions?
Is service a conviction?
Is prayer a conviction?
Is reading the word a conviction?
Is fellowship a conviction?
Is bible study a conviction?
Is tithing a conviction?
Is offering a conviction?
Is ministry a conviction?
Is soul winning a conviction?
Is moving in the spirit a conviction?
Is being nice to people a conviction?
Is commitment a conviction?
Is sacrifice a conviction?
Is esteeming others better than self a conviction?
Are the beattitudes a conviction?
Is fasting a conviction?
Is accountability a conviction?
Is meekness and brokenness a conviction?
Is humility a conviction?
Is relationship a conviction?
Is marriage a conviction?
Which of these you have said no before?
Which of these you have no choice but to say yes?
Just how much do you really love God?
Just how much do you really love people?
The double-minded is unstable in all his ways.
His heart says 'A', but his mind says 'B'.
He never makes a decision.
He goes with the flow.
He just go with his sense of comfort.
He does what he feels like, says what he wants.
He wants to benefit himself, not willing to GIVE.
Do you know how "I" feel?
This is what "I" want.
"I" think we should do this.
"I" know I should do this; shouldnt do that.
He treats people nice one day, then become cold the next day.
He appears for some days, then disappears for some days.
He's neither hot, nor cold.
Neither here, nor there.
He's confused.
Confusion is the result of not making a decision.
Life would be so much easier, if you'd just make up your mind.
How can a plane land safely,
If the landing autopilot isnt programmed?
How can the NEL train service transport passengers safely,
If the routing system isnt planned?
Where is God?
Where is He?
Where are they?
Your friends.
Who do you talk about the most?
What do you talk about the most?
Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
If you really love God,
Then everyday should be about God.
Are you crazy over God?
Are you in love with God?
Are you craving for God?
Then where is your excitement?
Is there romance in your relationship with God?
Know who you are.
Know where you've come from.
Know what you have.
Know where you are going.
Now make up your mind.
"Let him make up his mind, whom he will serve this day."
