Asia Conference

Its been a good 23 days since I last blog. Smiles. Its a longg time. Updates: I left Singtel on the 18 Nov2008. Thank you buddy for a nice dinner at Orchard =) Love Ya!!

On the 19 Nov2008 we had our long awaited Asia Conference.
Of course, it exceeded my expectation of what a good conference is all about.
The day started with the multitudes of people crowding at Expo Hall 3,7,8,9,10. I didn't know Singapore had so many people...

Day1:

Electives:
Effective Evangelism by Pst Seow How & Pst Abraham
Coping with Depression by Dr Ang
Day2:
Effecting Counseling by Pst Mike Connell
Having a healthy Self Esteem by Pst Tan
All the sessions were fantastic.
I love Pst Phil's msges.

On the Day 1 night, I met TinFang. I missed her. She is from Taiwan. We did visitation for CCH for a month. There was a period of time after SOT when I was quite down, but the moment I remembered what she said, it just totally encouraged me.

One of the highlights of Asia Conference is the queueing up for 3hours or even 4hours!=) Smelling each other's perspiration. Special thanks to Ling, Si Yi, Bel, Stan, HockSoon for always being there to stick through thick and thin man.. Of course not forgeting our nobel lighting heroine, Pamela, who sacrificed her time to work for all 10 sessions. Give it up for the unsung hero!! Carrisa the sweet and polite usher... Yeah! Not forgeting the best leader of the year Ee Zhen Ying, who was there with us in the spirit all the time, though she had to work, yet she keep on encouraging us, praying for us.

Day3:

Something that meant a lot to me is the prophesy given to my brother, AH Lu, on the 3rd day of the conference. Significant because its a prayer coming to pass... Something that really encourages me too. It was Pastor Phil who prophesied over me in 2005. I remember I made a prayer to God, that whatever I have, let Ah Lu have the double portion. And interestingly, it really did happen. Sin't that amazing.

Pastor Phil said that he will rise up. The younger generation like him will start to do great things for the Lord, preach the gospel, cast out demons, bring the gospel to Asia. Wei Jian, I am so so proud of you. http://www.chc.org.sg/citynews/?p=5511

Day 4:
One of the most amazing person I have met is weekiat. He woke up early for all the different sessions, waited for me, queued with me, called us all up.. And he is one super caring guy man... He forbade me to eat chilli.. Young as he may be, he can got the potential to be a Father.. muahaha... Thank you weekiat.

Day5:

Restore to me the joy of Your salvation...

Thank God It’s Friday!! =) Smiles. It has been a tremendous week.
This week went through really fast, without knowing its 7 days more to Asia Conference! It’s just next week. 7 more days to the end of the fast, come guys we can do it. The last lap! I am expecting God to move. Our friends will be integrated, discipled!! CWDS & Eunos revival! CG members moving to the next level~!

The highlight of this week is actually the bible study (bs). During the bs, I was reminded of how I used to be so afraid of sharing offering messages, afraid of leading testimony. I was always lost for words. I could still recall how I blanked out even in sharing offering messages. Then I started to remember how bad I was at giving presentation in school when my peers could do it even without lifting an eye lid. To tell the truth, I never like the idea of public speaking.

In the bible study, as we were all practicing moving in the gifts of the HS, Bro Bob move in the word of wisdom. He asked if there are any of us who are afraid of public speaking. He said “You blanked out and forgot what you want to say. Today, God wants to deliver you from the fear of public speaking, right here right now. If that’s you, lift up your hands. Man… I lifted up my hand, thinking could it be me? But I thought to myself, I thought I had already overcome that fear since nowadays I am better at speaking publicly? But why do I keep recalling all these moments when Bro bob was sharing bs. So I lifted up my hands. He began to bind the devil. Man… I felt the presence of God. Bro bob said “God is moving in your life. The next time when you begin to speak, something different is going to happen. God is going to speak through you.” Wow!

After everything, I went to talk to Bro Bob. I spoke to him about my experience. He said “So that was you la!! =)”

Smiles. Thank God for discerning leaders... Wow. I am so blessed so so so blessed by the Word.

Prior bs, I was pretty much discouraged. But God is faithful even when I am faithless. He never fails.
Your Word is a lamp unto my feet, light unto my path.

Bro Bob also shared about having the power and the anointing of the Holy Spirit. We need it more than anything else. He shared with us how he used to run from school to the bus stop the moment the school bell rang and to the bus stop to board the first bus to the library. Then he will search for the book titled “The Holy Spirit” and he will spend hours reading. After which he will bookmark it and hide it underneath the shelf. He got addicted, addicted to the presence of the Holy Spirit. He used to be a very stonge Buddhist. He was so devoted that he went to temple every week, guess he was already up to be promoted to be a priest of the temple. Until one day, he was invited to a CG, the presence of God came. He didn’t know that was the presence of God. He cried and cried. When the altar call was given by Pst Kong, he responded. God gave us emotion so that we can feel Him. Holy Spirit too, has emotions. Because of emotion, he didn’t care much about the consequences. I mean after which the persecution came rolling in non stop.

I need the Holy Spirit. You need Him too. He is all that we need, all that I desire. Holy Spirit impresses silently on your heart. He hears your thought. I want to know Him more. Do you? =) When He walks in, you can sense His presence. He is likened the wind. His presence drowns out all the worries, the negative thoughts, the criticism, the discouragement because He is peace. He is love and He gives us sound mind. Thank you Lord.

Finally find the chance and the mood to blog again. Tdy is Tuesday, and I am in the officer of Singtel once again. What has been happening since 23 Oct? Hmm…
I went for a camp. I started a new temporary job, went overseas for a short trip.

Extremely impacted by what Bro Bob shared during Bible Study last week. It’s about prayer. It’s a comprehensive bible study; if we take the time to expound and study he said we can start a seminar on prayer. =)

There are 3 different ways in which we can pray: 1) Psalm 23 2) The Lord’s Prayer 3) The Tabernacle prayer. Praying and meditating through the verses really helped me to draw closer to God. Many of us have the misconception that the Spirit-world is in the 2nd heaven, that for us to get to God, we have to tarry for God to come from the heaven and then to our rooms and finally we can experience Him. That’s wrong. Bible says that God is closer to us than the air that we breathe. Between us and God is separated not by distance, but by the distractions, the worries, the negative thoughts and Satan. All we have to do is to put to captive these things that exalt itself against God. When cast all these down, God is actually right in front of us. Sometimes things just veiled our vision. Our mind has to be subjected to the Word.
There is power in the blood of Jesus; power to overcome sickness, curses and Satan. Believing, visualizing and confessing. When you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth, nothing is impossible.
I AM GOING TO GET A JOB with 2.8 & above and I AM GOING TO GET BAPTIZE THIS SATURDAY 15 NOV 2008!The Morning Prayer was awesome.
It takes discipline to pray. It really does when nobody tells you to. I shall make it happen this wed and the remaining of the week.

The trip to Batam was truly awesome, besides the shopping I really enjoyed talking and spending time with my parents and cousins especially jiejie. We had a great time sharing.

We talked about relationships. Sometime that can really entangle us up if it’s the wrong relationship. Cal was saying that in every relationship, we always learn and grow, he is right. It’s not too long to stop something rather than to put up it for a life time I supposed. Getting attached for the sake of getting one will only gain temporal pleasure, what remains after that is the dread of maintenance since one is a taker and the other is a giver.

Well, besides the fellowship. I had a great time feasting! =p Oops, haven’t been exercising. Can I wait until Asia conference then I start exercising? (Mode of procrastination) I finally bought my black polo shirt with the number! I bought an interesting cap at $5 too. Smiles. Guess what girls? Fake lashes are going for less than 50cents in Indo. Shoes are fairly cheap ($20 odd).

Thank God for this Blessing!! Thank God for the entire trip. Thank God for my mum and my dad especially. They are truly my blessing. I must be thankful once again.

Job Search
Been looking, sending resume as many as I know how, I will leave the rest to God.
I need Your grace, not just dependent on certs and qualifications.
Yesterday I just went for an interesting interview at EPchem International. I thought I went to the wrong company. What really caused me to be startled was the huge Chinese statue standing at the door. The door was those ancient Chinese door you would have seen in those Chinese drama. The name of the company was also written in Chinese. I almost fainted. I went in, the PC were huge, those you would find extinct. =p No flat screen at all, those rounded back ones. LOLs. I prayed, I don’t want to work there man. The walls were painted in dull grey, together with the rainy weather, looks like everybody is quite dead. I proceeded to the 4th floor for the real interview. The HR manager looked very tired. The amount she offered is way too low.

Hmm.. I guess I can trust God for better ones. God, I really need Your grace now!! Well, still thankful at least I have an interview for me to learn something new rather than staying in the office. Smiles.

I went for another interview with PeopleSearch, a consultancy firm. A lady by the name of Jessica suggested being a recruitment consultant to me. I guess the remuneration and the commission seems attractive, just the jobs prospect. It wouldn’t be something I want to take up life long.

Waiting for more to come! I just need the ONE, settles all. God, Grace grace grace!!! =) Your grace is more than sufficient for me.
Well, if You have given the vision, You will then give the provision. Believing for another breakthrough for this time of A & B!!!! Breakthrough.In this A&B, we got to have a vision for giving.
I am believing God for family salvation, finding a great job with great remuneration & promotion, CG to multiply, my baptism! =) SMiles

The Fajar camp

It was an interesting camp which I had with the Fajarians! Elev8 2008. My team name was called “ZaiGang”. We ‘re zai! Lols. The students were really interesting. On the first day we went to the Hort Park, in search of the Henderson waves bridge and the metal bridge. Man, this was really my first time going up the metal bridge. The look down from the bridge through the grilling really freaked me out, it was really HIGH. Really enjoyed myself. Smiles, the SUN was greaaaat!!

I love the students, of whom we have (let’s see if I can remember all of them) KaiFang, Angie, Qian Yi, Fabian, Qiu Xuan, Xin Ming, Hui Rong, Lee Woon, Sujeet, Swee Wee, Joshua, Jing Hong & lastly Bo Guang. We took many pictures on the bridge, we are singing “I’m Yours” all the way.

Well, the wrong route that made us walked 1.7 km the bridge is really a test of our stamina. Ms Lim was fantastic. I looked at the way she sacrificed her lunch for the children really convicted me to love people more man.

Prior the bridge we were at the foot of the hill doing our jigsaw puzzle (it was gross!) so long, it took us 40 min. I have concluded that I am just not talented with Jigsaw. Jiejie can do it much better.

Poor Qian Yi was bitten by an insect I believed during that time. His hand swelled like dinosaur (what an apt description!)

When we headed back the Labrador campsite, all of us were tired to the max. I had fun. Enjoyed myself. Now tasked to come up with the 5 min campfire item, this was something I really hated in my history of being a camp facilitator. The rest who were dead, half-dead, were not really keen on this! Tell the truth I was quite irritated, I wanted to “disciple” them, thank God He taught me to encourage and to love.

That was something I learnt. I learnt to encourage and to love. That was what happened during debrief. On the faithful 2nd day of the camp, we were all excited to head to the Safra swimming pool, we had exciting pool games thanks to Vic, Shalynn, Eden and Alvin for their awesome planning. But that was where I lost my beloved N80!! My elephant was lost!! :’( Sobs.
The thief switched off my phone, and there goes my elephant. Terminated the line.
(Buddy thanks for your phone and your sacrifice. Really appreciate you to bitssss!! =) Thanks for even offering to travel down just to pass me your phone.)
On the friday night, Jess came. I was really happy to see her here man. Really.. Smiles. She is my soul support. Lols. Of course not forgeting Jing, Pris and Kee wei.
Kee wei was really HIGH man. He started to play te guitar and singing self-composed songs with FOOD names??!! He is mad. We had fun.. Joke of the day: Kee wei woke up in the morning, was about to brush his teeth and realized that the thing he held in his hand wasn't a toothbrush but a HIGHLIGHTER! Wahahaha =p

We broke camp on Sat morning! Greaat Camp!! Just wanna thank God for lovely people like Fang & Angie. Without them, it wouldn't have been as fun. Thank you ANgie for lending me your toilet before going for service. Thank God =) SMiles..

At work

Guess where I am now..

I am in the Singtel HR department Unit office.. Now is lunch time.

The past 2 days morning prayer were simply awesome. I just felt so recharged, renewed for breakthrough!!!
