Have been working too hard lately haha. Push my physical body too much at times like last sunday. When I ran half a marathon from East Coast to the Tanah merah and back to East coast. I stopped buying a cup of tea and siting at some quiet corner to chill. While looking at the waves "His glory appears" played in my itune. Tears followed. Looking back, it reminds me of a story of Elijah. A man filled with faith and challenged hundreds of Baal worshippers single-handedly yet feared a Queen. Ran for miles(or days) God reminded Elijah about the stillness rather than quakes and waves in life. I enjoy running bec it force me to stop as I catch my breath and think. Than to live my life like a hamster in a wheel. Christmas is comin, what caught my attention wasn't the lights and big christmas tree rather, "I Am the Light of the World"-John9. This billboard was at Tangs Orchard. gimme oil in my lamp Lord, keep it burning. "Jia you!"

Cg last thurs. Used up some of my friends army credit to purchase powder for games. And last week, our combined Cg we played it. Basically I aged instantly as my hair was covered with white powder.

Before I left the hse, ate a piece of mooncake. That may well cost me my health. On my way to nexus, my head was spinning. I thought it will soon past never did i expected my fever to be 38.2 c. During praise, I tried to jump however my head would give me a headache and during altarcall, I couldn't stand it and when to the counter to rest.(with donavan hoodie, I looked like a hunter). After svc, I had to rest at home, when my ipod played the song "Fire fall down" by hillsong. haha I thought that was funny.

Total redraw service today for hopekids. Though I was late for both music prac and drama rehearsal. I was supposed to be there by 750am.(I reached at 845). I was grateful that despite my shortcomings, He pulled me thru. After hopekids, met up with donavan to chill out with Sunny and marcus. We played LAN, battlefield 2(wah killed waves after waves of bots) these bots will knife u lol. As I took a stop to reflect at SMU "Lord, I'm amazed by you and how u love me. Your works are everywhere but I seldom took notice of your wonders and grace." This week was a grace week as I count my blessings and learning points. Well, as much as finishing army is a joy. A pain would be the paycheck haha. Nevertheless, I received help from friends that offers me jobs and whatever I may lack in. Could be a small sms by mervin, my sheeps backache remover,a shoe from my pri classmate,Gideon. And so many others. i'm jus thanksful beyond words.

Life as a civilian. Less than a day after I received my pink I.C received a call from my former boss asking me to work today. 11am to 330pm.(I rejected the full time) Being a waiter isn't my life-long dream. Anw I went, better than jobless haha. I can't help but feel that I'm really bless by God in how He provide and protected me. Well on my last day at the air base met Dennis low(he was doin his In-Camp-Training(ICT) he asked me. Will I still be serving in the Youth? "I have no idea" was my reply. That is a concern that I have to settle. I shall apply what Nehemiah did. step1: Fast. 2. Pray and plan. God placed certain burden in my heart and I need to examine my wall and cracks

notice a signboard sayin "It doesn't matter how slow you go. So long as you reach" That caught my attention after I failed my final theory. LOL it is like the 3rd time(well i'm slow but I will finish what I've started) rahh. You know since sunday, I've been reflecting on Sat teaching on the Book of Nehemiah on examining the cracks in the wall. I was lookin into cracks in my life and restoration that need to follow suit. I went to Harbourfront jus to ponder even more

busy with planning for shepherd's retreat. Mum went overseas again. Bank account negetive. Army pay gone soon as I'm goin to finish my NS. 090909 will be packed with loads of event.Metamorph/ORD party/Hopekids outing. "Don't let events and remarks swift u from ur true position as Christ's beloved and your true purpose serving out most high God! -hong teck. Today as I went Hopekids in the morning, I felt a sense of refreshment despite the fact that I had only 3hrs of sleep(as I was thinkin about the games) for shepherd retreat. Well as the song goes "Here in my life" where would I be. I'm reminded of how many countless times He came to my rescue and taken me from mess and gave me freedom. :D
