Chicken-filled Saturday... (new pictures added!)

today, as usual, started with soccer in the morning with the guys. met up at NUS but was chased off the field by the security because there was an event running (although the area where we were playing is so far off the event place) and the field was closed. no choice but to make our way down to MDIS to play. whatever it is, we want our soccer. haha! played till like 1pm before we decide to wash up and go for lunch. lunch was chicken rice at margaret drive market.

went back to church after lunch with a bus ride that was hot and stuffy. the aircon was not working properly and due to the body heat generated from the massive crowd that was on the bus, it was really terrible. reached church and went for power hour before worship practice.

dinner after worship practice was at the "four face buddha" eating place behind church. just me and tany, i had barbeque chicken rice. it was alright and not really worth the $3.50 price tag that it has. went home after that. bus ride was a long one due to the fireworks displays that was going on. saw a little bit of it but i was so tired, i fell asleep the whole ride.

got home and had some homecooked food but there was a problem. it was soya sauce chicken. oh my gosh! chicken again... all my meals today evolved around chicken and it was just so crazy! i'm overloaded with chicken... hmm... i'm crazy...

anyway, got on my lappy and saw some messages from people. one was from kim and it's one of those problems again. guess it will never end. i understand now why dean shermen make that statement, "all problems in the world is because of relationship". not just talking about BGR but also friend to friend relationship. again, it's because of mistrust that this is happening! oh well... i guess that something that everyone of us need to learn and go through it. everyone, at a point or another, will definitely have gone through it. the only thing that is different is what we get out of it. either we become hurt and weak because of it or we just get stronger. so it's a choice. for me, i rather become stronger than to feel weak and hurt. why feel hurt and weak when you can choose to be stronger? hahaha... pick the better one...

hurt and weak or stronger? you take your pick...

Planet Shakers Friday...

it was a tiring day (as usual) but then it included lots of happenings especially the night planet shakers concert. it was a blast! just full of happenings.

morning was spent discussing about human and masa communications' project work. in the midst of discussion was also some talks about people in class. it's just human to talk about it. ended up looking at blogs and stuff. many times, that's how bad a friendship can go to when someone breach the trust factor. (no siding here! not supporting anyone...) Once that is broken, the ugly side of people will start coming up and then issue of sensitive topics will occur so often. people talking behind the back of another person. oh well, that's how low the world have gone to. even at this young age (believe me, before you pass the 20 mark, you are still considered young), people are already backstabbing each other and it has become the norm of this generation. the way to pay someone back for what they have done is to stab them deeper and harder that they receive. i always believe in trusting people but in doing that, we need to also exercise some discernment. it's important. not that everyone is untrustable, but it more like to what level can one trust another with things that is sensitive to talk about. this also means that we don't go around and tell people what's happening when the fact is that they don't even want to know. this is actually known as gossiping. nothing good about it and it's just totally disgusting. i guess papa God doesn't like to see us talking behind the back of another of His child. so don't gossip because it will always backfired and end up with you being the end receiver of the pain. so why bother? don't even go there. you weight it and be true to yourself about it. are you gossiping too much or is gossiping taking a toll on you? how many friendships have been broken because of it?

Now to the finale!

went to the planet shakers concert and was blown away by it! it was just so crazy! thousands of youth gathering at max pavilion @ expo is just so cool! we went after dinner around 6.30pm and there was already a long queue forming. we went in and the place was just so cool! there was a large standing area infront of the stage. on the two side of the stage was 2 bungee jumping station. talk about radical christianity man... then before the worship start, we had cool games with cool dances move before the pros came on to do a number with one of the planetshakers songs. by then, a group of us have already formed the mosh pit. we were ready for some mosh actions! worship started and then it was time to rock! for the first time in my life, i actually got stitch from jumping too much! it was a really good time! the mosh pit actions were crazy and i actually got a small cut on my lips because of it.

In the midst of all these actions, i felt papa God telling me something about this whole new generation of children that He's bringing up. me, jh and jason was walking to the place when we realised that so many of them are so young and we are actually like so old compared to them. most of them are like secondary school students. new generations.

This was what i felt papa God saying to me.

I don't want a generation that is passive about her worship. I want a generation that is passionate, vocal and believeing. a generation that live the same way as her worship. a generation that is so radical in her living that the wants of the world becomes a tiny sand in the beach. young people who will go out into the streets to take it for Jesus. they will understand their identities n such a way that their live are lived solely for My purpose. they will know the great-ness of Me in a big way. mega way!

because of this, i decided to write a song titled Live For Jesus. i will try to finish it by the end of the week and put it up so that you guys can listen to it.

so there is a new generation that God is raising up in this nation. a generation that will far exceed the passion and love for God that my generation had.

was just talking to clarielle while writing this entry and realised how thankful i am still being given an opportunity to study at my age. i'm looking forward to more things and now even the thought of maybe going back to bible school excite me. that might be my next move. i'd never know...

anyway, couldn't get any photos from the planet shakers concert now but will post them up the moment i get it.
