More than Anything 3:53 PM

okay... before anyone reads this. i just wanna say, i was thinking of these Qns during my Walk with God. for the non-Christians reading this. im sorry, i dont mean to offend anyone or compare any religion. if u wish to ask Qns, feel free to do so :) i wont be angry, and yes, i wont even judge your comments. for my Christians friends, do know life is never gonna be easy. but it is written, ''Your work in the Lord is not in vain''. even the smallest shortest prayer is precious to Him. sometimes, prayer is often misunderstood. Prayer more than communication with God, its communion. Prayer is not begging, its surrendering. Its not informing God, its God transforming us. so yeah, dont lose faith yet. there must more than this!

Some Qns that i thought...

If someone were to storm towards me and ask, ‘If God were to take your friends away, and you will be alone. Would u still love him?’

And I will answer, ‘yes’.


He bit his lips and questioned, ‘What if God takes away your job or career just like that, would you still love him’.

Then I will nod and say, ‘yes’.


Then he asked, ‘You pray so hard in time of trouble, you go on your knees for hours and lift your hands until they were aching and God said NOTHING at all. In fact, things gotten worse, your studies are failing, your parents argue every single day now and no matter what you do, nothing seems to get better. You cried and begged and stayed up all night but God didn’t answer. It was like you voicing all your trouble but to a blank wall. Will you still even love God?’

I paused and pondered and said, ‘yes’.


He shook his head and asked, ‘If God were to crush your dream, destroy your hope of ever achieving what u wanted in life, would you then love him?’.

I will look at him and say, ‘yes’.


The man clenched his fists and continued, ‘If God were to ruin your family life, kill your brothers and sisters, your parents divorced and you ended up living with your dad who treat you super bad. Will u still love God?’

I will smile at him and answer, ‘yes’.


He stared and glared at me and ask, ‘If the love of your life were to leave u, she leaves with your money and your treasures of the house and says she will NEVER be returning to you and does not even care of what happens to you. Will you still want to look to God and say you love Him?’

And I will say, ‘yeah, still yes’.


He closed his eyes in disbelief and exclaimed angrily, ‘If terrorists were to storm into your house with your relatives, your cousins, your parents, your children, your wife and held them in front of you and they said ‘‘If you were to say you love God, we will kill everyone in front of your eyes, slowly. Grab ALL your belongings and kill you last leaving you with absolutely nothing left. Will you still want to love your God?’’ they got their knives ready at your loved ones’ neck. You were tied up and unable to move an inch. And they all stared at you… waiting for the one answer you were going to give. What will it be??’

And I will say to them, with great sadness and great confidence with a last smile on my face… ‘YES’.




Then the man became real angry and shouted, ‘Why? Why?! Why! Why do u choose to love God when He doesn’t even answer your prayers when you prayed for so long. Why do u love Him when He doesn’t give you what you want? When your family is falling apart, when God doesn’t respond a thing, how could you turn to Him still? NO ONE can love God all the time. Don’t you see family matters most, don’t you see life is so precious? Don’t you see your dream is your goal in life? Don’t you see your friends will support you and can give you laughs and joy? Is God everything of it?

Then I say, ‘I know, all these are important, they are very important indeed but God is just greater and above all that. So I will love Him even when all these are taken from me, my loved ones, and my life.

Feeling extremely frustrated, the man questioned, ‘why?’

And I will tell him… ‘No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived (Imagine, not think) what God has prepared those who love Him’ 1 Corinthians 2:9.


U know, I was talking to J and I can say, what more can friend give to another other than a listening ear and his/her fullest support? No one on earth has everlasting patience, no one on earth have everlasting love for people. We may have great patience and great love for others for there will always be a limit no matter how much we hoped there is no limit. But as God have always loved us, no guilt in hell, no scheme of men, no grip of struggle can ever separate us from His love. I respect J’s life so I wont say anything. But I do have a song for her. I cant sing the song but I hoped I can introduce the song to her.

Its called, Tear Down The Walls. I seriously find this song very moving. When I first heard, I was like, alright! It’s the song for J.


Tear Down The Walls

VERSE 1:
Tear down the walls see the world
Is there something we have missed
Turn from ourselves
Look beyond
There is so much more than this

PRE CHORUS:
And I don't need to see it to believe it
I don't need to see it to believe it
Cause I can't shake this
Fire deep inside my heart

VERSE 2:
Look to the skies hope arise
See His majesty revealed
More than this life there is love
There is hope and this is real

PRE CHORUS 2:
Cause I don't need to see it to believe it
I don't need to see it to believe it
Cause I can't shake this fire burning
Deep inside my heart

CHORUS:
This life is Yours and hope is rising
As Your glory floods our hearts
Let love tear down these walls
That all creation would
Come back to You
It's all for You

CHORUS 2:
Your Name is glorious
Glorious
Your love is changing us
Calling us
To worship in spirit and in truth
As all creation returns to You

BRIDGE:
Oh for all the sons and daughters
Who are walking in the darkness
You are calling us to lead them back to You
We will see Your spirit rising
As the lost come out of hiding
Every heart will see this hope we have in You


Movie Review- Transformers – Revenge of the Fallen

Rating- 8.9/10__4 stars

I don’t know why everyone movie critics think the storyline is off. It is very simple. Enemy targets Earth, the Fallen wants to conquer Earth as how he did in the olden times. Then somehow the all-spark isnt destroyed yet. So Sam have to stop them as usual. Megan fox looks hotter but I just don’t like her. The parents are even more funnier and there is more action, of course. But I can say that there are too many obts until you have no idea which ones are good and which ones are bad. The slow-motion is used nicely and appropriately. The tiger thingy transformer nearly stole the movie even it wasn’t for bumble bee’s coming, it wouldn’t have died so fast. After all, it achieved second top of all time in SG. Strictly just for fans for action-goers. Those who wanted a deep, grave storyline behind this would be disappointed but nonetheless, the movie may keep them intrigued.

Things are going to get real... interesting 3:01 PM

Saturday

One of the most packed days of my life. One day that was never a dull moment. Took some pic and videos too, which explains why some videos are messed up. Okay! So in the morning, I was late!!!! I had to rush off without eating breakfast and get to sch. Then I saw the bus but I didn’t run, cos I thought it was impossible to catch the bus. Then the bus stopped. I think to myself, should go or not?? Woah, think for so long. Then the bus left in the end. Then I think to myself, shoot! I should have run!!!! So I waited and God was really merciful. After 2 min, another bus was in sight. Oh man, God is good.


I got to sch a little late cos many people have alr dressed up. Miss Goh told me we were going to our first teacher’s house, the teacher who started everything in Lion Dance. So we got onto the lorry and set off. Yeah, it has indeed been a long time since I practice lion dance. So I thought it was going to be somewhere far but in fact, not only it was near, it brought back old memories… I was actually going back to Waringin Park. Wow. That really bring back old times. It was the place of my Pri sch life. As I looked around, everything have changed, all of it. Even the playground we always played was under construction. So I gotta get my head back on earth. We prepared the equipment and so on. Then I met my neighbor. Omg, I was so surprised, she recognized me after like what? 5 years? She was like, ‘that’s Samuel! That’s Samuel!’ went to talk to her but I didn’t talk for long cos I had to get back to ‘work’. So as I was playing the instrument, I saw my neighbor talking to Miss Goh and after a while, she left to go market. At that point, I was telling myself… if only… of only I have more time, I would have told u how awesome my life. It was a moment that I wished to tell her, I never regretted being born. Becos I know God is gonna use me for greater things :D


So I talked to Yan Yu (junior) about how I feel about Wushu and why sometimes things seems to fall apart very quickly. So we went back to train some more. Can u believe? Woah, can die man. After lion dance go for Wushu training. I got some pic and videos on it. And yeah!! I STILL can do cart-wheel without hands! But I did fail a number of times, u can see it in the videos. We trained until 1.30 then we go…. Lao Hay (something I don’t know how to spell). Basically, its to wish everyone and u know, use chopsticks on the food and carry them up. Ai ya, don’t know how to say. So we even ordered like 6 pizzas, serious! And Josh told me his dad cant fetch us to the MRT so we gotta walk there. Then after the first traffic light, everyone was going to cross the road except me. WTC man. So I walked alone all the way to the MRT cos I wanna go Megalife service. So I had some time to God and asked him, was it worth it? Cos I was walking until I perspire everywhere and Ben wasn’t with me in Megalife so I maybe alone until Cell Night. But I decided to just put that aside cos I know God will see it and give me wonders. I don’t have to see it to believe it :) and now, like what the pastors have said, once your mind is changed, your actions will changed and of course, the outcome will changed.

going to training



oops, sry for the blur





setting up the food

6 pizzas!!!

ready to do back flip

ahhh, back flip

landed

ahhh, too fast, cant capture his movment

the Lao Hay is ready.

LAO HAY AHHHHH!!

eating the pizzas


im doing the turning kick but my landing just sucked

omg, thsi video is really messed up due to the light but yeah

re-rake again and this time, im do cart-wheel without hands and my friend does his turning kick

training continues

sword display and more cart-wheel without hands


I got to church and saw Jenson! Haha, he was teaching a girl how Admin work is like. I looked around, omg, not one of my Bedok Cell member is here?! Oh man, so lets just wait. And just as I was about to go toilet, someone called my name… it was Darren!!! What was he doing there so early? So he told me he was doing some hw and yeah, he had this real big Textbook. Darren was my HighLife Cell. So I suggested whether he wanted to go Megalife and in the end, he came with me and another friend. Yes! I did found my Bedok Cell. And the best greeting to give them was ‘Happy New Year’ cos even though u got nothing to say or don’t know how to greet, u just say Happy New Year. Hey, its very effective u know, ahha! So Basil and Jon was so caught up with their MP3 so I talked to Chris and Megan, we were like talking on how teachers react towards us students. Then I had to rushed to accompany Darren to Megalife. Strangely, it was the FIRST time Darren ever went to Megalife. So cut the long story short, the sermon was like super awesome. We got new speakers, David & Karen Davis to speak on the Test of Faith. Karen sang a song, in Hebrew and in Eng and her voice was super nice! Serious, very very good. She was just excellent. And David speech was funny and meaningful. I mean, they made a perfect couple. He was told us not concentrate on getting date, just look to God first and he will provide a date to u. so he talked on God testing our faith, to see if our faith was really true, strong and real. So even tohugh things get so messed up and everywhere is all chaos. As long as God says it is the right place, well, u ARE in the right place. Spiritual courage is costly and walking through the test of faith is hard and indeed challenging. No one said it was ever going to be easy. So we ended and I talked to my cell and met up with my Poly Cell for dinner.


Can u believe it? When we are outside, the girls are the ones talking the most and they are the ones who initiate the talk. Guess, they are very social. But don’t know, in cell, they seemed to talk less :| oh well. So we head back to church and went for Cell Night.

Cell night was pretty magnificent too. The same speakers, David and Karen, spoke about Seeing Double. And again, Karen taught me some Hebrew lyrics and some songs. David talked about hypocrites and how we shouldn’t act or pretend like someone we’re not. Hypocrites wear mask and David was being paid to become one. Obviously, it will be easy money. But would we really want to do that? Are we so cruel as to lie to others just for money? So Nath (some guy in the bible) had a very clear mind and he didn’t act in front to others. God is more interested in our private than our public life. So what if we get all the fame? So what if we get all the things we want but did not turn to God? So we made a stand. All of you and none of us. All of you and none of us…

So we had prayer time and time in our Cell. We even got supper. Yippee!! But I just wanted drinks, so Yong Jie and I were sick, both of us had running nose but Yong Jie seems worse. So we talked about how open we are to God and areas that will improve us in our spiritual walk. Cut the story short. Each of us pray for the person on our right and I volunteer to end off in prayer. And the amazing thing was, when I pray, I have no hesitation and I just said the words out, it felt like those words were not just from my mouth anymore but from God speaking through me. I don’t know how many of u have this experience or wants this experience but I can say, it felt very cool and weird at the same time. That when I look back, I asked myself, ‘how did I manage to make a strong prayer just like that?’

It can only be one thing, by and through God alone :DDDDD


Movie Review- Coraline

Rating- 9/10__4.5 stars

From the director of Nightmare before Christmas comes a new kind of animation with a new kind of storyline. A story of a girl who got a toy of herself and a new house that she moved into. To make thing worse, her parents are very busy, the house is dirty and under poor maintenance, poor coraline wanted a different life. So she enter a new world with the help of some mice and she notice she had another mother and other father. And they were ‘not’ boring. Even though seemed to get a little weird and out-of-this-world, coraline believes it was the world of her dreams. But as her other mother want more than just her life, coraline faces a deep dark underworld beyond the world of her dreams. I just love how the story builds up and more things start to get weirder until problems arise. Even though the ending was good, the story could have explain more about the cat. The extras are just exciting and do stay tuned after the credits for an extra scene. I could say confidently, it is the best Stop-motion animation ever! it will bound to keep audience intrigued and expecting for more. Outstanding achievements to the creators.


PS: yay! after sooo soooo sooo long, im finally gonna meet J again. im not on a date!! its seems that J just have some problems in her spiritual walk and im just gonna go talk to her. wooo, i was wondering... how long has it been since we last met? about 6 month? hopefully, we can have dinner togther. im just praying God can just speak to me and through me. i have always been hoping for more problems so i can turn to God. well, i guess things here are about to get really interesting. for J, if i have just one thing to tell her, it will be this.... ''you are never alone in this world''
