The day is here...

Today is the day... where all of us have to go into separate CGs. When I was told the news that I will be going to YA, I was glad and frankly speaking, didnt thought I would miss much of the USM memories, since I didnt appear much. However, today when we were taking photos at Starhub Food Court, I did feel a sentimental feeling. Like its time for separation again.. just like when my old CG-SIM spilt... there were tons of photo taking.

Although I am still hanging around with USM for awhile more, I will surely miss the combination of our USM1 CG...

Will miss...
Kelvin's blur-ness @ certain time.. Esp the blur-ness of what sisters did to their hair.

Yicheng simple faith..and his hop-pi behaviour during P & W

Kin Weng's Camera that cause people to hide everywhere...

HuaQiang's occasion cold jokes, and his knowledge on outdoor sports

ZhengZhong, my little brother and his caring personality

HanYew..his quiet personality but yet sutble humour

David SUPER crapiness and of course his powerful brain

Yee Ping... sometimes a female version of HanYew.. Quiet but have a tinge of caring personality

Anne and her Ernie.. of course not forgetting my deep impression from her (When she forgot passport during church camp)

Melissa-- abit blur, but innocent till the stage where everyone cant help but loved her so much

Joyce... think miss her wake up call most.. haha no lah. Miss your never tiring personality to care for people around her.

ShuHui -- a never changing impression on her, and that is her faithfulness to friends.

Indeed, how GOD puts different people with different personality into a group.. but yet sparkles do hit. =)
Wishing you guys all the best in your future CGs and continue to serve hard. Me might be making a move first liao.... but for those who are in USM 4 togther with me... bear with me alittle more okie??!!

Hey, it's just 11pm!


The last group photo of USM1@cg before restructuring takes effect. Taken at the most frequent place for fellowship at River Valley. More photos at Bits of USM.


A splash of white. A new Law at the wall where mahjong papers with P&W lyrics are always pasted. We welcomed Lawrence to the fellowship.


Thinking hard. What question would bring the most number of votes? Ultimately, MJ songs resulted in the most number of raised hands. No wonder YS was smiling.

The Perfect Timing of His Part 2

Praise God! I have just found a job this week :) This reminds me of Anne's testimony in her job search last time too...hope theres more sequels to "The Perfect Timing of His" in time to come hehe. Really thank God for His providence in His timing. And thanks all of u, brothers & sisters for ur prayers :) Indeed God is faithful, He had answered the things that I have prayed for. Though sometimes I'm clouded by other opportunities and thoughts as to whether the job is the best for me.But I trust Him that He provides the best for us :)

Just not long ago, I got my paycheque and compensation of my previous job during mid Jan.I was so delighted and feel really secure to see the $ in the bankbook \(^0^)/ But I must thank God that becos I jus realised recently I was quite blessed to have received the $ into my account whereas many of my collagues could not process the cheque due to the liquidation.It will be problematic to go thru the procedures of payment afterwards.O what great timing of God! :p So that I can have the $ to give Him. However, it is stil not enough to the pledge.But now that a job comes in and may be some possible tuition assignments, I tink I wil be able to scrimp and squeeze abit to deliver the rest of the pledge :)

Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. ~Matthew 21:21

This verse really speaks to me during my job search,when the word "truth" was given to me by my shepherd. Indeed, it encourages me to have faith and hope in the Lord in whatever thing we do. Yes, it is true! Really nothing is too difficult for Him :)

Testimony to share

Share something with you guys k.....

On Monday this week, I realized that the finals of my Netball Super League crashes with the weekend of church camp. I was very sad, cause church camp is really a time of intensive teaching, and GOD can speak so much to me. Of course, it is a time of fellowship with I treasure alot.

I was asking my boss then, if he can release me from work on the 2 days before weekend, so i at least go for 2 days camp. He say can, but i thought its the final game, so my big boss might not approve also. I was afraid that my manager would go back on his word as well.

Today, further changes came. As usual practice, we invite a Msia team to join us for NSL. The Msia Netball President came back to say that the week which we planned for finals is the schools zonal final in Msia.. So we are postponing the finals by one week for Msia.

So now, church camp crashes with Semi Finals and Prelims Finals. Not really escaped but got a higher chance of being able to go church camp. At least for 2 days lor.

*** Heard Msia is requesting to postpone another one week. Hope my president agrees! whahah!

Continue to pray for me, that GOD would do miracle to allow me to go church camp!

The story of the uncle

In no mood to ponder over pop-up structures tonight... Let me share with you something that really warmed my heart a day ago.

Last Sunday, I went to church with my parents. Due to some forgetfulness (as it always happen), my parents returned to the house to check on something (like if the windows were shut, electricity off etc etc) while I waited for them at BL mrt station. As it was getting late, I gave my mum a call from the station.

'Wei..' I initiated.
'Ah, Uncle!' my mum greeted me on the phone.

Then, there was silence.

Eeeew.. even my mum called me uncle?! :S I was momentarily heartbroken... Well, it turned out that my mum had mistaken me to be someone else whom she anticipated to receive a call from. Along the way to Somerset, there was a constant mention of this person whom my mum called 'Uncle' in our conversation. Uncle, as I found out, is one of my mum's ex-colleagues and he was joining us for service that Sunday. He is over 60 yrs old and it seemed everyone in the workplace greets him as such. I didn't get to see Uncle in person as I rushed off for Extreme Makeover.

After that, there was no mention of Uncle for a few days. Then on thursday, while visiting grandma with my mum, she let out a news I least expected. Uncle had embraced Christ in his heart! He said 'Yes' to Jesus during that Mandarin service. Wow. I could still sense the excitement from my mum's words as we talked about it on the escalator. My mum was very amazed by his response. She had thought 'it would be difficult'. But, no, it didn't turn out that way. Uncle did not hesitate to the prayer when he was asked if he would like to know the Lord personally.

I was so glad for my mum and the first person she brought to know Christ. Age is never a barrier to bring someone to know the love of God and it won't be a barrier for one to know a loving God. 50 plus, 60 plus? It just doesn't matter. I was so encouraged by my mum that evening.

Nvm I was called 'Uncle'. (I see it as my mum's accidental effort to rid off my sleepiness in the morning.) What's really great is that the real Uncle is now a brother! Praise be to the Lord!

God bless you with this story.
