B1 CG Outing

I have encountered one of the two things that I'm really looking forward to this week...

B1 CONNECT GROUP MEETING!!!

Today 75% of my energy and time is spent at Peiwei's house.

I mean we have so much fun at Peiwei's house.

We ate mee siam, hokien mee...

Worship session...CG meeting..talked about boldness.

Play with peiwei's dog (neoneo and carpet)

play soft toys??

kelvin, rachel, alicia and OCK played piano.. Peiwei's dad said that OCK passed the basic piano skill. haha.

Peiwei, Xin Chi, Weile, JaiXian, OCK, kelvin, Janise, Rachel, Alicia, Kai Ting, Sam, shanyong, peiru were the people present. 

These are my thoughts when i was at peiwei's house. many "woah!", "wow", "aiyo", "huh" responses from me.

Peiwei: Thank you for the use of your house and the two dogs as "entertainment"? halfway through eating mee siam, peiwei actually remembered that there's CG and we are going to late if we are not going to bake the cake. So! she quickly think of a game plan and work something out that suits everyone. I thought it was cool. I think when I'm 15 years old, I won't actually know what to do. (:

Xin Chi: Surprisingly, he didn't eat a lot last night. 4 bowls only. I counted. haha. I was secretly counting. oh man..what to say about xinchi, he's always there supporting the cg.

Weile: By the sound of the dogs barking and weile's screaming, everyone knows that weile is standing outside the house. Great announcements given during CG. very zai! So full of confidence. I must declare this!! Weile is not that afraid of the dogs compared to the first time she's here.

JiaXian: "Hey, what are the songs that we are singing for CG later?" By this question he asked, I know that JiaXian is part of this team. He wants to know the lyrics so that he can support and contribute to the CG. No one asked him or taught him that, he just did it. 

OCK: I was thinking whether you will be alright when you reached home. I wanted to sms you last night but afraid that your mum will read the sms. nothing will happen. I'm praying for you. You led a great games during CG.

Kelvin: DOLLS AND LIFTS. Now I know what is Kelvin's weaknesses. He's afraid of Dolls and lifts. anyway, I know that on the inside of you, something is different about you. it's a good thing.

Janise: aiyo!! so quiet through out the whole day. I'm so not used to it. But then again! I'm glad that you are so blessed by the CG sermon! Boldness!

Rachel: It had been a long time since I last saw and talked to her. She's still the same. oh oh oh..she can play the piano. I was like "Woah! I didn't know that". I think I need to talk to them more often. Rachel is quite a funny person though I didn't really talk to her. My conclusion: When she is loud, she can really be very loud. When she is quiet, she is really quiet. No link.

Have fun with you. Got to see you often man. She very nice leh, invite everyone for the basketball but never ask me. haha. jkjk. anyway, I can't make it tomorrow.

Alicia: SHE KEEPS KISSING THE DOG!!! EEEEEEEE

Kai Ting: She's afraid of dogs. aiyo..i feel so sad for her the whole day at peiwei's house. I think you brought peiwei's books home!

Sam: So shy.. hahaha! She was quiet most of the time other than playing with the floor.

Shan Yong: he joined my cg for the first time. I think he got culture shock. haha. everyone was high in the house.

Peiru: Watch out. See you this sunday. Secretly took video of us. I managed to delete it. haha

many more.. just want to say that it was fun and I enjoyed myself with everyone who was there. 

Peiwei: I thought your house can afford to have lesser dog fur around!!! haha ouch.

Alright, now I can't wait for F3 sleepover at Kenn's house.. I'll blog about it after the sleepover.

Gold Standard

I'm currently reading the book "The New Gold Standard: 5 Leadership Principles for Creating a Legendary Customer Experience Courtesy of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company".

It's a great book. Pastor How lend this book for me to read. I'm trying to finish reading it like asap so that I can return pastor. 

I'm having a Chief Usher Meeting tonight at 7pm. I got to share this with the Chief ushers.

Things to change:

1) We must run our ministry with Gold Standard. We got to up our customer service and communication in the ministry. 

The book quote, "There is never any such thing as saying "That's not my job." If it means helping out one another or doing something to provide service to the guests, the word no is simply not in the vocabulary of those who choose to work at Ritz-Carlton." 

Usher Ministry must be the same. More than that, our church Customer Service Team needs to be the same too.

2) 6 Steps to Service Standard

I will keep these 6 steps to the Chief Usher first. (:

you are right..I'm going in to build Communication and Customer Service in our ministry.

Recently, I have been advanced into another higher level in the operations team. I'm now overlooking the whole Customer Service Team(CST). BMI, Usher, Hospitality, Generations, etc. I am so desperate to have a revelation over this new role I'm in for God.

Honestly speaking, I haven't caught the revelation to run this team. Nothing wrong with this! I am doing well in administrating and inspiring. I mean I got so many ideas, thoughts, dreams and vision in heading the customer service of our church.

A lot of people runs a good ministry. But if you want your ministry to be the best, today you neither can run it by administration nor inspiration. You must run it by revelation. What is your revelation over your ministry today?

alright..i'm heading off to complete many things!! see you around. 

There are two things I'm looking forward to:

1) B1 CG on Thursday.

2) F3 Sleepover at Kenn's house on Sat night.

I thought this is funny...

Jane and Lora: That day the person is emo. How ah..how ah..

James: Ask her to talk to me. The person will not be emo already.

Jane and Lora: It's not as easy as you think.

James: How does people EMO?

Jane and Lora: Emo la.. a lot of thoughts, etc.

James: How? Can I just go to the person and ask him/her how does he/she emo. 

Can he/she teach me how to EMO?

I never understand the feeling of being EMO. I do have emotions but not emo.

Aiyo.. I think when people emo, I just can't click with them. Don't be emo. thanks.

back..Back...BACK!!!

this blog is not dead. (:

Tagboard replies:

Zi Ling: Linked!! haha.. i'm back to blogging

Jazreel: JAZREEL!!! yes.. haha.. LAUGH! lol..

Joanna: Thanks Joanna...

Janser: JANSER! haha.. thanks!! do you have a blog? got to hang out one day.

Darren: thanks.. you have a great blog too. for a moment, i thought it was boxue's blog when i saw his photo.

Jamie: Oh my..it's neat...not empty.

Andy: HELLO. 

Jing Yi: Linked!

Sili: Relinked!!

Douglas: Hello...I have linked your blog in mine..

Jeanie: HAHA.. linked!! must update your blog..

Lynette: You got a bigger room! that's why. 

the last few days were fun..

WEDNESDAY:

last night, I went to eat the best prata shop with Kenn and Eugene. while eating, we ended up watching the lizards mating and the lizards eating a beetle? it was as exciting as watching a soccer match.

We thought that nothing will happen and the lizards will not eat the beetle. The next moment we noticed, the lizards started to move and we quickly went back to the prata shop and watched. AZA - AZA!! There goes the beetle.

TUESDAY:

I was in church for powerhouse. I was not supposed to come. However, I woke up at 3am and can't sleep. So I just changed, made a fish burger for myself and left for powerhouse.

talking about the fish burger, it was super nice. If i have the time and chance, I will open a restaurant and called it, "Everything, Anything I like to Serve RESTAURANT" Basically, I will have a "Today's special" everyday and that will be the highlight of the restaurant and make people come back everyday. I will cook and serve whatever I like to serve. anyway! it will be a hobby. I enjoy cooking.

After powerhouse, went to clementi and look for OCK, Jia Xian, Sam, Peiwei (3mins only), kelvin, xinchi, janise and jeanie. Ate and went to play badminton at Kelvin's house. I owned him. haha. he lost me 11-6. He said that he's a school team. well, i must say that he can smack the shutter and it hit my chest real hard. all thanks to kelvin.

The coolest part about the outing is that he said with all his pride that he's a heart of God church member, he calls it his home and he comes to church every Sunday. I'm glad that HOG has always been a home for everyone.

MONDAY:

Monday was a fruitful day. I was with pastor how the whole day. Pastor how went to City Harvest Church (jurong west) to preach in their bible school. 11 years ago, pastors were students attending the bible school. Now, they are back preaching at the bible school. I want to be just like pastors. I can't wait to attend bible school and preach in bible school.

the journey of the dream. I have a dream. My dream is to ....... be just like my pastors.. double portion to be upon me. (:

PRAYER:

Holy Spirit, move in us today

By Your Spirit O Lord, 

We claim the nations of the world for You Jesus.

By Your word of truth, 

We're crossing over to win the lost for You.

Nations will cry out Your name

Send us to Your harvest Lord we pray.

Amen.

Touch many lives. In Jesus's name... 

Great Saturday

time to blog again..

I had so much fun today! 

Came to church for Zone F service. As usual, it was a power-packed service. Lynette sermon owned. Today's service just felt different, everything was so must better. It was the spirit of joy in our service. You could feel the whole atmosphere of the service having a very joyful feeling. idk how to describe to you.

after zone f service, rush to Bugis with the whole zone f. We splashed ourselves with water. everyone was having so much fun at the fountain. 

then we headed to Raffles City then to marina square to see fireworks.

i must tell you i enjoyed the raffles city moment the BEST. Jazreel and Sili will definitely understand why. Jazreel and Sili, if you are reading this, please send me the videos and photos soon. Anyway, I love you guys. We laugh at the same thing, disturb people at the same time?? aiyo..OOPS> haha..

I'll upload all the videos/photos once I got them all.

After fireworks, I rushed to church for a meeting. In the process to my destination, met Roy. He became my train buddy for the night. We travelled to church together and travel home together today. We had a great laugh.

Money no enough 2

Just reached home? X 10 times

Have you eaten? X 10 times

Have you eaten??

YES! I HAVE EATEN. I AM VERY FULL. I HAVE EATEN ALREADY!!!!!!!

Have you eaten?

ARRRRR!!! OKAY..NOT YET, I HAVE NOT EAT AND I AM VERY HUNGRY NOW!!!!

SEE..I KNEW IT!! Haven't eat still keep saying that you have eaten and you are very full.

HAHAHA. Pls watch the movie if you haven't watched. oh.. i thought it has a great storyboard.

Anyway...

when Roy and myself were in the train. we saw this guy walking up and down the train. He looks super scary.. White Skin and wearing full black.

We were shocked to see him walking up and down that we concluded that it's Hungry Ghost Festival. That person may be a ghost. 

Aiya.. but I don't believe in ghost. however, i do believe that there's the evil spirit. But who cares? there's a great and more powerful spirt called the HOLY SPIRIT!

In Jesus's name, I cast every fear out! in JESUS'S name!!! Jesus!!!

2 Timothy 1:7

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

seeya on Sunday!! 

10 August!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIANWEN!!

It's my younger brother birthday! Happy birthday. you are 14 already!

The choices you make determine your convictions.

Our convictions determine our destiny. 

What is your conviction today?

Neat and Tidy is the way!

HAHA.. Monday was a productive day. Let me show you my room..

I took hours to clean up the mess. You must see the before! Don't envy my room.

I must say my room is neater and cleaner than some girls? (NO OFFEND!)

My simple and neat room.

One desk, one chair, one fan, one bed, one cupboard, one dustbin.

Don't be deceived by the bed. It's a powerful bed.

My working desk. The desk that accompany me through the night when I work.

how's that? envy? 

Seek Him.. maybe He will make your room be like mine.

Haha. having the last laugh? 

alright!!! I'm just kidding. I hope this post will motivate and encourage you to pack your room..

Please pack your room. It is so so important! 

FOP 2008

FOP 2008 Ushering is finally over.

Wow.. amazing weekend. It was power-packed for all the ushers.

Attention to everyone who did ushering:

You guys are now at a higher level in terms of capacity to do more for God because you gone through something that requires a very high level of capacity. Praise God for all theses. You are all ready to grow so much more in your ministries.

Thank you for serving. It's a joy serving with everyone of you.

Interesting fact:

I had a dream last night. I was dreaming that I'm leading two zones. Then I was running everywhere from the East to the North and from the North to the East again. 

In conclusion, WHAT A TIRING DREAM I HAD last night. HAHA.

Lastly, it had been a long 3 days of ushering. Please remember to spend time with God. Get yourself back on track on the things you are doing for God again.

There's a tendency that you feel that you are very tired and need more rest. Guard yourself. All you need to do is to pray and ask for God's strength to strengthen you. Don't drop your quality of work or your output for God. Keep running! 

How am I spending my day after 3 days of FOP!

Well! it's a Monday!! haha.. I woke up at 1pm. I'm really very tired. So I need to sleep until 1pm.

RELAX FIRST:

walk around the house and grab some food, put all my thoughts together and blog.

PACK MY ROOM:

Later I'm going to pack and clean my room. It's super messy now. haha. After 3 days of FOP, I just put all my things everywhere in my room.

BUY NECESSARY THINGS/NEEDS:

Going down to the market beside my block to take a walk. I noticed that I'm missing a few necessary things that I need for my daily life. Things like getting a Thirsty Hippo (moisture absorber) for my cupboard, wax for my hair, etc.. I will go supermarket and see what I can buy.

WASH UP:

Time to bath after a battle with the germs and viruses in my room.

QT:

Pray and worship. Get recharged.

MANY MORE:

Army is nearing each day I wake up..

Anyway, this week has been a great weekend. It was Academic Excellence weekend. Ushering for this weekend has been one of the highlights. It was super fun and exciting ushering with the fellow crews for both weekends. 

Alright! This morning I woke up with a dream. 

I dreamt that My enlistment date is 28th August 2008. Reporting time: 930am.

WHEN I RECEIVE THE NEWS, I FREAK OUT.

I woke up and I headed to church. haha.

Thank God it was just a dream. But dreams come true???
