Question: Why Did I choose USHER over CHOIR?

Was I scared of the auditions?
No.
Stage fright has never been an issue to me,
especially after being in band for so many years & dancing in Campus Creative Unit.

When I first signed up for Campus SOH (today known as Arrow RSM)...
this was what happened. I signed up without Jon knowing.
& when Jon found out, he asked me loadsa questions & actually, before that I've been doubting whether I wanna commit to Campus SOH =x
because I was working part time then, I was working for Spaggedies @ Marina Square & would come straight down for Campus Service after work.
because of the commitment too, Campus SOH had to serve every Campus service, theres no alternate group. Part of me, wanted to sit down & receive during Campus service too.
& Jon was like, "HEY you're in Campus Creative Unit right? Not every ministry come you sign up y'know. & then, must let me know first. Concentrate on your CCU first." lol, cuz before that I also signed up for Children's Ministry without him knowing...but that time, they didn't want students so I ended up not joining Children's Ministry - come to think of it, I wasn't really called for that. HAHA.
Maybe someday, things may change. oh wells. I was rather new & eager, that time. Not knowing much, well I could serve in many areas in ECC thats why... =x
I could do back up singing & ushering. *lol*
MUST think of the point there, this is a mega church, things are much more organized & ministries gotta go through interviews. because ECC didn't have interviews for ministries.
So I was quite blur when I first came to New Creation, honestly.

Since I've so many friends in Choir, why don't I join choir instead?
Well, serving is not about friends. Every individual is graced to do different things, that is why we are fearfully & wonderfully made. We can use the gifts Daddy God blessed us with through serving, we can also discover new gifts through serving. Even though I do not know much people in RSM, I can still make new friends. Making new friends is always something that I enjoy doing.
Looking at my progression today, it ain't that bad... All the nice people I got to know in my team (: They are also YWAs (young working adults) but I enjoy them more than Arrow YWA, somehow don't ask me why.

But I enjoy singing also, why did I choose ushering instead?
HA! HA! This is something hard to answer, very honestly. But well, I believe Daddy God led to where I am today. Somehow, before I even joined RSM, I was keeping a filled up form, it was juz about when am I gonna submit it...
It was by divine appointment, I believe...
This is the story of how I end up in my team...
Coach Barnabas is an awesome leader who I am thankful for, so is Khai Leng, his wife.
He was so nice he used to pick me up after work because my workplace was 10mins drive away from Khai Leng's. Thus, when I went into his car, I was seated beside this girl name Rachel.
She was so happy & chirpy, very nice girl to talk to. Everybody in the car was talking about Step Into The Zone, Planetshakers concert.

On the second week that Coach Barnabas fetched me from my workplace...
Upon approaching Suntec, Rachel & me got down from the car first so kinda chatted with her a little. Randomly, I started praising the ushers in our church & say that "eh I think what they're doing, they make a difference in our church. I wanna join ushering?!" Upon hearing that, not knowing that Rachel was in main church RSM...Rachel asked if I was interested in joining, I told her I wanna consider first. Haha, but I gave my number & e-mail to Rachel. I said I wanted to consider first cuz I've learnt from the previous experiences, that I should be accountable, thus I had to ask Amy first. The following week, I still haven't asked Amy...I wondered, why was I hesitating? Hehe... & on a Saturday, I haven't told Amy but responded to Rachel's sms... yes I am still interested in joining RSM but I need to ask my CGL first....somehow, just nice the next day was RSM Mass Recruitment, I thought it was juz perfect for me... & I indicated my interest at the counter set-up. *haha* & I sms-ed Amy while I was still having dinner with the care group at esplanade, glutton's bay. Knowing that she was gonna have her Leader's Israel Trip the next day, I asked if it was convenient to take up juz a little bit of her time. Or else, never mind it's okay, I'll wait 'til she's back from Israel Trip. She was so sweet, she said. "hey Linda, you can call me anytime" & yeah when I said I wanted to join RSM in main church, she said how about SOH? (as in Arrow RSM) I told her that I am already serving in Team I.M, productions for Arrow. She responded, "oh ya hor! how long have you been thinking about this?" I responded, "eh very long already leh" (which is the truth man!) She said "eh...." she paused for awhile... & said "Ok join lor" (in a cheery tone) I was so happy, "Ok thank you Amy!" & sms-ed her again to thank her for her time although she had to prepare for her Israel trip. Then I sms-ed Rachel, "hey you can pass my number to your leader. My CGL said ok"
Somehow I really think that Daddy God led me to this team, although there was a little clash when someone else from another team called me for RSM Orientation, I told her that I've already started serving with another team. She said okay... HAHA cuz I indicated my interest during the RSM Mass Recruitment. RSM Orientation was interesting, went down with Yin Ying cuz she joined Holy Comm. HEHE.
Yup, so I strongly believe that everything was so God-incidental.

Whether I'll join choir (as a 2nd ministry) in the future,
it is still a question mark.
Go with the flow yeah.

For I am so sure that I will stay with RSM for long, cuz I am enjoying RSM now.
& if I can be serving as an usher in ECC for 2 years, I am sure that I am gonna stick around with RSM for a long, long time (:

missing my Arrow students family loads

flip flip flip flip through the photos in my computer...I found so many happy memories.
many happy memories, I wish I could turn back time...the past one & a half year after Charissa brought me to bible study one fine Thursday cuz I was bored & juz wanted to come & take a look at this mega church with special mid week services...&...

got to know Kim, who then knew me as "Charissa's friend"..how Daddy God put people in my life is totally amazing.I decided to come for Bible Study the following thursday alone, as Charissa was serving for choir...& Kim spot me in the que, as we were among the same tic batch in the que... she said, "hey next time you wanna come for BS, give me a call lor" so nice, & I exchanged numbers with her. The following day, she sms-ed me, "hey we've got Campus Service this Saturday, you wanna come? we can meet up & come together..." I was intending to go for it alone, & Daddy God knew, He juz gotta arrange someone to come with me so that I wouldn't feel so awkward as a new comer... I said, "okay, but I'll let you know again. I was intending to come anyways." (at that point of time, I was full of uncertainty, whether to switch church or not, transition was never easy, but Daddy God is faithful)
Sadly, after that day she seemed to m.i.a.
I miss this friend, she made so much difference although I met her only a few times @ BS & Sunday Services...

on Campus day itself... Kim didn't come but Aiwei spot me, & remembered my name...
called me from afar, at the level 6 overflow room where Campus Service is held...
"hey Linda", I would so shocked & surprised, if someone knew my name on my first visit to Campus... I know that you would feel that way too. Thus, I sat with Charissa's friends, who are the SIM care group members...
It was such a coincidence that on that week service, they announced the CLUSTER EVENT.

I was stuck between 2 clusters - Poly & Private/SIM/SMU Cluster.
The story is this. My good friend, Melanie's friend, Grace Tan, learnt that I was "trying on" NCC, whether to stay or not. & Grace Tan is from Poly Cluster (by then Melanie, have gone missing in action from church, I am still hoping today, that she'll come back la)
Alright, the next day I went for 2nd service -- & it was a surprise for me that Darlene was worship leading, cuz I didn't know that she was (hey, IT'S MY FIRST SUNDAY SERVICE IN NCC la, I was in another church all along) & Grace Tan started contacting me...
actually before that, she was already nudging me whether I wanna join her care group.
I told her wait first, cuz Charissa's friends wants me to join SIM care group...
LIKE HOW? Oh wells, Grace decided to introduce me to her care group leader, who was my 1st previous care group leader, Jonathan Liew, also the worship leader in Campus' band then.
(and I still remember, my first campus service was so memorable as Jonathan didn't know the lyrics to the song TELL THE WORLD..& Pastor wanted to sing it =X) He asked me if I was free to join them for the cluster event & he asked if I was friends with Charissa & the rest. I was quite surprised when he knew them & he actually saw me at campus, haha, being the blur new comer me, not noticing he was the worship leader on the stage. (& today I know, it is cuz of choir they know each other & JON LIEW HAS A GOOD EYE FOR NEW COMERS IN CAMPUS, that's what he told me!)

on Thursday BS, Nat asked me if I was gonna come for their cluster, SIM/SMU/PTE cluster event... it's also at east coast. WOAH by then it was getting quite hard to decide...but Jon kept following up on me, it was so hard to reject. The next day, the tpcg's amb, Sharm, sms-ed me & said that she got my number from Jon, asked if I wanna meet up with her to go to east coast park together. By then, I didn't have much of a choice, I joined the poly cluster. Ok, I had fun, was introduced to Coach Han -- who remembers names so well. I remember I kept forgetting so many people's names that time...I could only remember Esther (cuz she's also Charissa's friend), Sharm & Jon...thus the ice breaking game was a great challenge, cuz it was whacko, & I didn't know many people so I random called names. I still remember there was this stupid captain's ball game where a piece of raw chicken & papaya was the ball it was uber gruesome.
Poor Sharm, her shirt was so dirty cuz she was the captain...
Nightfall, we had praise & worship under the stars, & there was ministering, surprisingly. Coach Han started to call a few names & I didn't expect that he would call mine, cuz I was juz a new comer. Well to my amazement, he called, & prayed a perfect prayer over me. (& he said he still remember it today, he talked about it when he saw me)
I juz knew at that moment, uncertainties left me & I decided to stay on in New Creation Church.

Til today, Campus has changed it's name to Arrow.

well, my CNL & ECC friends are happy that I am happy where I am & surprisingly, there are some ECC people who actually came over to New Creation too. I saw Bro. Peter Ee last Sunday at the indoor stadium, & he was serving as well, he is in RSM too! But in Alpha team, same as Alex (ywa east cg member)...he told he has stepped down from ushering in ECC too. He was one of my fellow ushers in ECC then. Surprisingly, Sis Mary & family has come over to New Creation, cuz we were in the same lite group(their term of care group) & she seemed super ON. Little did I know that she has decided to come over to New Creation too. Soy Yi, my fellow christmas choir mate, is also in New Creation & so is Andrew & Nancy from the youth network in ECC, is now in Arrow - NYP Care Group.

I still have a long journey ahead of me.
Ushering, Youth & Performing Arts has always been my passion...

Usher - cuz I love smiling at grouchy people, watching their grouchy face turn into a smile makes a difference! & talking to people I don't know, making friends has always been a gift...
Somehow I always notice the ushers whenever I go to any church, guess it's hazard, again.
Youth - cuz I have this vibrant spirit where I juz love to be so ON & hyper about YOUTH.
Performing Arts - well, I love music loads. no wonder, it was juz so coincidental, when I liked the name Judith, it meant WOMAN OF PRAISE. & yup, I love praise & worship alot. I love to dance too, that's why I was involved in Campus Creative Unit's dance in 2006 for Men's & Women's meeting.

Well, if I do take a break from Arrow now, which minus youth. I am left with ushering. So should I spend a little bit more time on my performing arts after I stabilize my job too?
Nah probably not, I am gonna STUDY, STUDY, STUDY first.
prolly juz continue with my hip hop classes. x))

when it was
tpcg vs sim cg - i chose tpcg
choir vs ushering - i chose ushering
(i know in ncc it's quite impossible to join both, esp. when I am already an Arrow server too)
Somehow my choices always end up cool.

at times, it's hurting to realize you do not bear much significance to the people around you.
but what you give weight to matters...
as long as you/I know that Daddy God is all that matters,
& YOU/I MATTER TO HIM ALOT.
& He made it best, when I/you did nothing at all.
life is much more joyful & you'll see less grouchy faces coming for service.
but grace, grace.
the ushers make a difference (:
because ushers have anointed smiles that can turn a grouchy face into another smile.

as I was browsing through Julie's facebook.
I spot someone familliar in her cg photo.
It was Jasmine Liu Qiu Xia. I seriously wonder...
if it was her... I messaged her I am waiting for her reply tho...
Jasmine was a girl I met during the combined youth service with VFC & ECC.
Question, hmmm.. did she come over to NCC too?

& I found myself talkin' to someone I least expected to.
I mean, seriously... Daddy God works in different & funny ways too.
it's been few months now
& i'm really thankful i'm no longer that upset & emotional over that broken friendship.
because of the ones who have been a tremendous blessing in my life.
thanks so much for being with me during that period.
no matter how nonsensical, you bore with me...
all the stinking verbal vomit, I bet I was a hard nut to crack then.
Thanks for WAKING ME UP & PRECIOUS REMINDERS THAT TOUCH MY HEART.
Thanks for loving me for who I am as Daddy God does.

& I also thank Daddy God for PrisGan (Arrow Private Care Group)
& Qwen (Arrow JC Care Group/RSM-Echo) - the you & your aunty look like Pastor Lian look, yeah but you've been a great blessing since I got to know you at historymaker6ix camp, although I don't see you much at Arrow *lol* (:
you girls are much blessingzzz in my life!

night post

as I log into multiply...I realize how much I miss the campus days.... the days when Arrow was juz one... & not split into two. Surfing & dropping by many Poly Cluster cgls, coaches & even my team's multiply...brings back so much memories...

with so much uncertainties in my life right now...all the rough patches in 2007...
...the start of a new job... innocently shifted up to YWA by someone who is not my friend right now...which I was supposed to move only after the camp...upset as I was, during my transition blues, I told that person off...who doesn't seem to realize it wasn't something I fancy...doing things without my permission. in the end, I allowed that person to take advantage of that situation & apologized...The person kept backing out at the last minute with me. So much so, I doubted her. She didn't even apologize to me...Right now, even as I apologize to her, she doesn't wanna forgive me...

During Arrow Adventure Camp, Coach Joanne shared that an apology doesn't have any power if a person juz doesn't choose to forgive...Violence was involved during the Cluster Challenge that Coach Jo had to share something like that. But it was timely for me as well. As Coach Jo, asked the people to stand up & apologize to one another... & accept one's forgiveness. She didn't nudge. I didn't want her apology. I juz wanted her forgiveness. She is not willing to talk to me anymore.
But it's okay, Jesus has forgiven me... & still loves me alot...I looked away & cheered myself up with the fact that Campfire's next on the program list. Yes, if you've guessed it & know me well enough, I sat with my Student Campers. I juz wanted to be different, & not be with the Camp Servers...I was quite a rebel, "a naughty girl" in that area...I didn't wanna be with the Camp Servers, simply juz because I don't feel happy with them...I kinda think I was being unreasonable, but seriously, at that point of time, I couldn't give a rip. Because my reputation was at stake, nobody knew what was going on through my mind, but I really, many a times, during the camp, I wanted to give her a slap across her face...or when holding the pole, just take it & wack her unconscious. But no, I choose not to. Imagine, if my name gets famous & flashes across the main church, rock auditorium for assaulting a girl older than me, banned from church & WANTED by the Security... If it was the old me, in sec sch, I probably would have done it. Maybe that's why, Zheng Fu, fellow server who was sleeping on the opposite bunk of me during camp...guessed that I was an ex convent girl. Said my look, & I probably would have guessed, my behavoir...If I lost it during the camp, I would have given that wretched girl a slap across her face. But each time it happened, as Coach Jo shared, I prayed in tongues...I am not gonna be guilt-ridden juz because of that wretched girl. Like c'mon what's that wretched girl to me? Jesus worth much more... I somehow could feel heat rising up on the inside of me as I saw that girl's face in Audrey's facebook, one of the camp servers & also HER TEAM members. She was being so annoying during the camp, she kept saying "EVENTS TEAM GO TOGETHER LEH!" Kinda figured out she did that on purpose, she spoke to every fellow camp server except me & really put me in a difficult spot. She offered insect repellent to every server except me. Until I got bitten really badly (cuz nobody brought the insect repellent out to a nearby field, except her - nobody would have thought so) I requested to my leader that I wanted t'go to the bunk, cuz at that point of time, I had increment of tension as I was really very near her...& the skin irritation was quite bad...I don't know why but I kinda regretted serving at the camp... & thought I should have stayed within civilisation to go for RSM Amazing G'race or juz go for the camp as a camper, not a server. All these, wouldn't have happened, if the person didn't shift me up to YWA. But I believe I was not short changed, Daddy God will bless me with even more...fun fellowship & events...I enjoyed the last day though... ALL THE COOLEST PRAISE & WORSHIP CAMP HOT SONGS were played by the Arrow band (Sandra & the guys) ...

Realizing the songs I've asked Daddy God for...
FOR CAMP SONGS to be played 'tiz year...
ALL CAME TRUE
- God is Moving
- The Bling Bling song
except
- Run With Fire (with the human choochoo train formed by Arrow)
oh wells, we end up doing Feliz Navidad with a choochoo train, so it ain't that bad after all.
& a randomized song that was on my head while leaving the campsite
- Lord of All.
amazingly, was played for camp.
I kinda figured out I am in the flow most of the time for praise & worship.
GEEZ.

I wanna see myself happy & bouncy real soon, but I don't know, if I will still be sticking around at Arrow. it's quite hard for me to say now...

One of my friend...seems to be feeling down too... & tell me she doesn't be with the cg... told me she feels really left out... & is attempting to church hop... told me not to tell Khai leng, Alex, Jolene or Amy... or any leaders... Then how? Haiz. As I was talking to Qwen, some things are better handled by leaders than us, meh mehs. The leaders can advice them better than meh mehs. Although I've somehow been through what this fellow sis in Christ been through before, I juz don't wanna end up advising her wrongly. So should I juz tell Khai Leng when I meet up with her? It is...such a challenge....

CHRISTMAS

Blog.

happy birthday JESUS!
ah, it's christmas.
& i'm at home. cuz there's nothing to do.

friends;
age is not a limit to me. i wonder why to some, it is.
people encourage me to stick with Arrow,
their reason being. I should make more friends around my age.
If that's the case, I should be staying with Arrow students.
NOT Arrow YWA.
cuz good friends my age in Arrow are:

PrisGan - private care group, juz a year difference & I so love her. we often share music - cuz we like Sonic Edge (& it's rare to find people who like Sonic Edge in new creation, even their existence) It's so easy to talk with her. Hah, her parents are from RSM too. But not in the same team as me.

PrisTan - private care group, MY FELLOW SERVER IN ARROW STUDENTS TEAM I.M. hehe juz 10 days younger than me. ALL HAIL THE OCTO BABIES! X)) & she's WAYYYYYY COOL, her nickname is POKPOK. such an artsy fartsy who's so cute & her TWIN is....

PamTan - private care group, MY FELLOW SERVER TOO. & it's so easy to tell them apart. lol. by their voice & face shape & dressing style! I LOVE THE TWINS TO BITS, like totally.
cuz both of them are so cute.

QWENDOLYN - Coach Joscelin's CG, but haha... never really go...WE MET @ HM6IX CAMP! & she serves in RSM too, sadly, not the same team. AHAHAHA. but it's okay, we meet up each time theres some mass RSM meeting...
THIS ONE, I can talk to her anything under the sun. Oh, & we're same age too.

I'M THANKFUL FOR THESE FRIENDS IN ARROW.
& also ALL THE CGLs who took TP CG before.

the coaches were awesome too.

& KHAI LENG! who have made much difference in my life, love you babe! x))
Coach Barnabas' wife who I call out quite often & lovelovelove talking with!

Looks like it's the issue of me...
not not wanting to attend Arrow.
it's the issue of me...
not wanting to attend YWA...

the servers I find hard to get along with,
the care group which is uber big.
PLUS! that girl, who really makes me feel uber annoyed by being so sarcastic.
hey, you think you can make me feel guilty.
you thought you were so successful
but, I'm sorry to disappoint you that I am no fool.
don't think church got no BLACKIES who try to prick your conscience ...
there are... ok, but maybe not so much.
1 out of 1000.
grace, grace la.

nayy shoo off. SHOO!

LOOK. THESE ARE FRIENDS TOO.
MUCH TREASURED, so WHY BE AFFECTED OVER 1 BLACKIE?

Arrow Rap by Coach Joy

'A' double 'R', 'O' double 'U' x2

This is the place, the zone of grace
Sometimes we call it the 'arrow-space'
Here people move with His awesome favour
We reign in life coz we have the Jesus factor

We're movers, we're shakers. we're winners not losers
We'll take this nation with the gospel revolution
We're movers, we're shakers. we're winners not losers
We're the solution for a lost generation
C'mon Arrow, let's go, go! go!
C'mon Arrow, let's go, go! go!

'A' double 'R', 'O' double 'U' x2

We got the tall ones
The short ones, the big ones, the small ones
Finely sharpened arrows in the quiver of the Master
We make decisions with Spirit-led precision
We're all we are because of Jesus Christ's passion

He looks down from above,
He carries us with love
He calls us each His own
And that is why He's our whole world

passion

I start to feel my passion for Arrow, juz burning out bit by bit...
I wonder why am I still putting up a false front...
Well, many people around me still think my passion & zeal for Arrow still stands.
I do not look forward to Arrow as much as I did when I was in Campus.
But well again, my serving attitude in Arrow is starting to slack...
I see the 'sucky serving attitude' the so unglam side of me coming out...
it's starting to show... I get so pissed off with fellow servers easily...
It feels like I juz don't wanna be around my fellow servers...
so I showed alot of negative attitude & unhappy face near them...
I kinda feel that I've really shown alot of unglam-ness, the bad side of me during Arrow Adventure Camp... The transition is already causing me so much of confusion, & there comes this girl who appeared in my life & ruined it all... Thank God I do not shun making friends still...

Proud to be an Arrow server?
I was. I could even go for so many different meetings & still be with glee.
In fact, I was excited almost every Arrow.
Somehow, it became first priority in my life...
I enjoyed every meeting & chance to fellowship with Arrow people.
A cg Yahoo! group admin - I was someone my 1st previous cgl, put alot of trust in... Sending out announcements on where to meet before Arrow Services/CGs/Bs(last time)/Sunday Service, updates in church etc etc.
Sharm, the cg ambs at that time, said I was a rare gem as new comers (when I was still new) nowadays not as zai as me...so regular...so zealous for Arrow (Campus, at that time)...
& still come for BS every week, plus sure to be seen on Sunday services...
(it's the ambs' duty to serve & follow up on new comers)
A cg attendance taker - I was someone my 2nd previous cgl put alot of trust in, knowing how I must submit it after every cg session & Arrow service...& not show it to any other cg member.
A cg befriender/Core member, one of them - I was still, someone my 2nd previous cgl put alot of trust in again... I had to take care of 1 irregular cg member, the cores were the ones our cgls call the "right hand men & women"
I was even serving in Team I.M. If you question me, was I tired? No.
Even if I was...I was satisfied...
Looking back, I really thank Daddy God for giving me the strength...
I really didn't realize I was doing so much...
I really didn't know...until I look back now...
Well, you can say...serving out of rest.
Prolly, God has all along been multiplying my time...

I kinda question now...
am I serving out of rest in Arrow YWA?
The commitment is really low. it's so much lesser than students.
yet I feel so sian...
haiz...
question, should I take a break?

Daddy God...

But the group's still big.
ARROW YWAs let's all pray for more leaders in ARROW!

goodness. i really don't know what's up with me.
haiz. i wanna take a break from Arrow yet I don't.
uber mixed emotions.
I was telling someone that I feel as if I'm drifting away from YWA EAST CG yet my passion for Arrow is still burning, not burnt out at all. I still can go high during Arrow services & CG.
man, last Sunday service's message was really good for me after all.
DO IT WITH ALL THE SIANSATIONS.
I can still go for Arrow YWA servers meeting with a happy face like how I was in Arrow Students! blahs, hopefully these are not juz words & the truth.

haiz, but it still hurts to see ...
anyways, QUIT IT!

cg time we were discussing abit of Sunday's message & abit of Men's & Women's meeting's sharings. I think it was super cool. HEHE.
YAY, juz found out that Daniel a.k.a Kai Di wants to join RSM too.
I juz randomly asked him whether he's serving anywhere.
LOL.
Daniel is coincidentally my brother's NS buddy. haha.
My brother knows him as Kai Di tho'
hehe I'm gonna send him the RSM application form.
YAYs. ANOTHER ONE!
RECRUIT RECRUIT RECRUIT.
BRING MORE ARROWS IN!

Jet - Look What You've Done

Take my photo off the wall
If it just won't sing for you
'Cause all that's left has gone away
And there's nothing there for you to prove

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems like such fun
Until you lose what you had won

Give me back my point of view
'Cause I just can't think for you
I can hardly hear you say
What should I do, well you choose

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems like such fun
Until you lose what you had won

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone

Take my photo off the wall
If it just won't sing for you
'Cause all that's left has gone away
And there's nothing there for you to do

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems like such fun
Until you lose what you had won

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone

no one friend is constant except Jesus

i juz know, i really miss that friend. alot of things in the surroundings are reminding me.
& today when I saw that someone, I immediately turned to the other side.
haiz, only 6 days to camp & things are still like that.
I really don't wanna think about it...BUT....
sometimes juz the little things around me reminds me of that close friendship.

especially today's thanksgiving service reminds me of the previous rsm meeting
all the good memories, the going home together & stuff.

nobody understands when you see that person so often it really hurts
seeing how the person is so good to others especially. it really is very ...
That is why I am considering not going for Arrow for the time being...
I've even been skipping Arrow fellowship/care group sessions/hang outs for so long,
that I really feel so awkward around them juz now.
The servers in YWA east cg actually met up juz now for thanksgiving, I didn't know about it.
They were at level 6 overflow.

I wanna take a break.
HAIZ, BUT I STILL LOVE ARROW. HOW?

Thanksgiving service today was awesome.
The food was really good.
ate with Kirsten, Charis & the rest of the Arrow Team I.M. - students family!
& it really seemed almost the entire Arrow was there.
(seated at the usual corner)
Even Qwen loved it so much.
Was talking to Cuijing (NUS cgl, bumped into her on the way home, same area) about it on the way home. There's something about me & cgls + leaders, I seem to have favor with them.
Probably, the "favor with leaders thingy" I once proclaimed with Cherri so randomly
cuz Cherri started it.
Realized we were all so touched when Pastor Prince thanked us (:
& really loved the testimonies plus Pastor Darren's sharings (:
really understood Pastor Prince's heart (;
Praise God that we hit 16k in headcount.
& seriously, the servers alone in our church can fill up the overflow rooms.
What more the other people?
:P

I reject those negative words in Jesus' name

it really feels sucky sometimes having parents with different beliefs. The words they use, the words they say... It's really negative. But well, I hold the key to the power of the tongue.
Each time, I tell Daddy God to juz let not the negative words spoken over me touch my heart.
For it means nothing as long as I do not proclaim it or believe it. They keep saying stuff like I will go crazy some day. They get worried over whether I'll get married & stuff. They keep saying I'll get divorced. But no, I say, I reject those things in Jesus name. I will have a great story ahead of me cuz Daddy God writes the story for His princesses (which is me!)
It wasn't a very good day for me today actually. Cuz my mum kept nagging & nagging & nagging.
Yes, controlling was much easier praying in tongues. My mum has this stupid belief in fortune telling which she keeps bringing bad news home to me with, which can get uber annoying I must say. Grace, grace la. That is why I enjoy Pastor Mark's & Pastor's Benjamin's sharings as well. Cuz it really is relevant to me... How Pastor Mark talks about the traditional chinese beliefs in WHATEVER MY PARENTS BELIEVE IN & how Pastor Benjamin's message touches & softens the many youths' hearts (I am one of them) ... Pastor Benjamin's messages always relates to adolescence problems like bgr, peer pressures, pre-marital sex, family rejections... If others ask why I am so passionate about Arrow, I would always say I receive much & I really think that Pastor Benjamin is an awesome man of God, graced to preach to the youths, favored amongst the youths in Arrow. No wonder our leaders often tell us & advise us to sow into Arrow Ministry, serve in Arrow while you still have the chance. =) Enjoy your years in Arrow.
I've still got many years in Arrow. so should I still take a break?
Well, again, LET GO, LET GOD.
I really love the Arrow Befrienders system, where we go & love attack the new comers.
I was blessed by the Campus ambassadors when I first stepped into Campus (:

I am not what I feel I am, I am who God says I am.

It's doesn't matter what family or friends say or reject me.
I am accepted in the BELOVED!

it's only a week to the arrival of Bravo8!

I juz stole Immanuel brother's line. haha.
but anyone can use it right?

BRAVO8 CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGHTHENS BRAVO8!

alrighty. i'm so gonna enjoy the camp. sweeeeeeeeet!
grace, grace for the camp.

HILLSONG ACOUSTIC is hot stuff anyways.
Zhan Yi from Arrow A&F/NP CG has promised to send me the songs for so long.
from POLY CLUSTER CHALET PRODUCTIONS MEETING 'til now.
(that was like in October? at level 6 overflow room?)
he still haven't send it to me!
HAHA, I couldn't wait.
I went to search it on multiply myself instead.
& Praise God la, I found it.
I told Pris dearie that I think I'm kinda hooked onto Acoustic songs.
lol.

I've got 2 job offers.
Still not sure which one to choose.
I foresee that I've still got more interviews...

(:

xiaohui g-mailed chat me last night in the wee hours.
random, she asked me if i know about the thanksgiving meeting on Wednesday.
haha, she juz asked if i was going.
lol. yeah i know about it. both sides have called me t'go.
haha so i asked if she was going with the poly leaders.
she said yup.

seems like almost the whole Arrow's gonna be there on Wednesday.
(look, if it's all the Arrow cgls & coaches, plus the servers, can you count that?)
can I CHOOSE not to be with Arrow?
lol, George in the jungle a.k.a Corporal C.C. Soo is gonna call me that day.
& he's gonna be EARLY. like reach on the dot at 6pm? WOW, ENTHU.
FOR THE DINNER, GEORGE.
& since Jo Soh ain't coming.
& Qwendolyn's mum juz started serving.
so I reckon she's coming with her mum *lol*

last sunday,
it was so funny when I approached her fellow server @ gallery west t'ask where's Qwen.
(some random lady I met at rsm meeting but I can't remember her name =X, I juz knew she's Qwen's friend. "EH?" lol.)
She said, I KNEW YOU WERE LOOKING FOR QWEN!
lol. I burst out laughing & said, "SMART!"

YES! & Arrow Students Team I.M. (my old family) is gonna be there too.
HAIZ, if only I am still with them...
they are sure to meet up to go together.
YWA? nah. there's no bond. =(
bet they're gonna go with their main church servers.
Nat, Charissa & Bok sure to go with choir people.
I don't really talk much with the rest,
I also don't talk much with Bok,
so I don't bother to ask.
Arrow Operations Head, Ben is serving somewhere in main church also.
so yup, he's gonna go with them.
so YWA servers are rather dispersed.

Nat juz got promoted in choir.
SHE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO SERVE IN TEAM I.M. ANYMORE NEXT YEAR =(
cuz she might be backing up for Praise & Worship during Arrow YWA services.
it's so sian cuz she's the closest to me amongst the Arrow YWA servers.
but happy for her la.
& I'm still considering whether I should take a break.
Anyways Arrow YWA servers don't serve often.
Arrow YWA services are like only twice a month so it's as good as serving once a month.
since right now we're doing Arrow RSM duties, due to the shortage of manpower in Arrow RSM,
I find it quite fun.
for the past one year in Arrow I have been decorating the place up & prep of props with Team I.M.
for a change now doing RSM duties for Arrow,
I think it's REALLY KINDA FUN.

blahx.

ENJOY THE NOW MOMENT.

Arrow YWA Men's & Women's Meeting




this year's ARROW'S FIRST WOMEN'S MEETING was so awesome.
& I finally get to sit through & listen to the whole sharing (:
I still remember last year's Women's meeting for Campus.
only get to listen to it halfway, cuz we the dancers had to leave
halfway through the message.
Well, double portion still. This year, still get to serve & listen too.
Basically, Team I.M. & Events girls joined hands with Arrow RSM.
cuz more manpower was needed for Arrow ops (:
(for arrow services now, we're all -the TEAM I.M. & events team- doing Arrow RSM duties. which I think it's FUN, LOL, for all of you who are reading in doubt, IT'S TRUE IT'S FUN FOR ME!)
Was door greeting with Charissa (I.M.) & Jana (Events).
Nat (I.M.) was doing photography.
The decor put up by Jenny, Rachel, Huimin & Brenda was really sweet stuff.
& WOW THE WHITE ROSES, are really so nice.
Well doorgreeting with these 2 girls was really fun.
I was admiring the pretty white dresses/tops as the WOMEN OF GOD came in one by one. So pretty so glorious. Haha, although we had to repeat the instructions again & again (aprox, 100 girls each to the 2 of us?) regarding the doorgifts but it was really fun with these 2 girls to chirp around with & take photos with. Jana had to check tics & stamp the girls' hands.
I LOVE THE PHOTO CORNER WHERE NAT DID AN AWESOME THING I MUST SAY. =D

What Pauling shared was... simply amazing. & there prolly gonna be notes for us from the slides. How nice. I WANT IT. Haha, I am not gonna type what Pauline shared due to some reasons. But well, I LOVE THOSE LIES VS TRUTH.
HOHOHO, I AM THE PROVERBS 31 PRINCESS.
The craft work thingy was really cute. haha now I know what Melissa (events) & me the purpose of writing on the ice cream sticks before the service.

Food was... really good. haha, it was buffet. & IT WAS REALLY NICE.
Almost all the food was snapped up by the end of the break.

After Q&A session, we were stationed at different areas of outside the level six overflow. It was time for flower distributing.
We could see the happy faces as the girls got the flowers one by one (:

Ben debrief-ed & told us about thanksgiving meeting.

Everything was done at 10pm.
Tired but satisfied (:
I heard the men's meeting ended earlier. HAHAHA.
oh wells, I believe they RECEIVED too :D

To Know Your Name

The precious blood of Jesus Christ redeems
Forgiven I’m alive, restored, set free
Your majesty resides inside of me
Forever I believe
Forever I believe

Arrested by Your truth and righteousness
Your grace has overwhelmed my brokenness
Convicted by Your Spirit and by Your Word
Your love will never fail
Your love will never fail

To know You gave
The world Your only Son for us
To know Your name
To live within the Saviour’s love
You took my place
Knowing He’d be crucified
Your love, Your love for people undeserving

Arrested by Your truth and righteousness
Your grace has overwhelmed my brokenness
Convicted by Your Spirit and by Your Word
Your love will never fail
Your love will never fail

To know You gave
The world Your only Son for us
To know Your name
To live within the Saviour’s love
You took my place
Knowing He’d be crucified
Your love, Your love for people undeserving
