we've got some things confirmed yesterday...

8th of October, that will most be the date of our R.O.M
Finally after so much time spent discussing about the details, we have decided pretty much to do it at a later time so as to allow us more time to yet discuss the procedures and the wants and needs for the ROM.

THURSDAY... 1 more to go and it will be weekend.
I am anticpating the weekend cos it will be beer and soccer.

Germany vs Argentina ... thats world cup in advance isnt it whoever win will win anyway

England vs Portrugal ... Now the deal is thats the only game rachel is interested in, its a cosmetic team with all the pretty face. But England will win based on critics quoting that ports haas too many red card last game..

Italy vs Ukakraine ... only one comment for this gam ... boring... neither will win the world cup.

Brazil vs France ... this is ah fat vs lao ah peh game.. but brazil is at any time worth watching.. but i ronaldo + zidane does llok like alien imports though...

Predicted 4 strong ... Argentina, England, Brazil, Italy.

Marriage is sure mean feat...

All thie time and effort going into a single event of your life.

I have been doing so much lately...
First the house
Then the renovation
Then the dinner
Then the R.O.M
Then the Bridal Shop shopping
Then the family wayang

I am breathless...

I have decided now to spend less time blogging on my thoughts but rather find more time updating what has been done...

Met up at Corona yesterday to meet jie and I could see that when i spoke to Mum about the wedding. She started tearing.

I am sad, sad to see her so weak. But I hope i can bring her the last bit of assurance that at least 'Ah Chong' is now a upright young man with a stable job and a clear future ahead...

Dad has an accident with a taxi yesterday. Infact i spoke to him in the afternoon when he is in the hospital. but he just refuse to tell me what happened until my kor called me in the evening. Some times i think my father is such a fighter, he is always getting into problem but he has always got out of problems, on the other hand... and the food reflexlogy thing, even jie seems supportive cos they are going to get him a bubble bath for the foot.

Finally, my cell members, my sheep, i am so sorry i have been so busy lately... I figure i will be more free from next week and i will definitely catch up with you guys.Forgive me for the constraint, thanks.

Financial Freedom...

Thats a big word to me. I dont really like this word... not because it is too tough a challenge but because it is too far from me.

I bought i flat last week and Oh. My. the expenses are so great! And the money that surmounted from my pass debts have proved to become a major stumble when i start to really think that i can i fly.

Just as i thought i could walk, i could infact only crawl.

Till death do us part

Have been really busy and super tied up for the last 2 weeks.But busy does not always equates to negativity, nor does it implies that being busy we cannot enjoy the hectic process.

I have infact enjoyed every part of being busy for the last 2 weeks.

After the camp, I have been convicted or I have resoluted to bring our relationship (with Rachel) to the next level of court ship and that is to get engaged , to begin building a family cluster and actually, to start shifting the focus of our relationship from "Me" to "you" to "US".

Stage 1 - ME
Most of the time, a love relationship- BGR in this case develops when 2 persons with a need (usually emotional) find a match in each other.The focus is usually on 'I', the first particpant and these needs are most of time general and less demanding , ie. Appearance preference, income, family, race. Because of the lack of details in this round of choice, most relation would not last beyong this stage.

Stage 2 - YOU
By the time the relatonship comes to this stage the honey moon period is usually over and the particpants would have seen the flaws and as matter of fact accepted the flaws of their partners. The main difference bewteen this stage and the previous lies in the focus, where it is emphazsized on the 2nd particiapant , I would say this most likely equates to sacrificial love. Either one of the party may contribute more but the gees lies in that It really doesnt matter I receive how much but more of I give how much.

Stage 3 - US
This is the time where both party have receive enough and given enough and is ready to take the courtship to life parthnership, the expiry of this partnership? Till death do us part. This would be the final stage before the introduction of small little rascals call babies, but this I would think would be the most enjoyable stage. From buying a flat , to prepartion of marriage , till sharing the loads of house chores, till preparing breakfast for each other. That is Marriage I guess.


I think too much of a time we are exposed to the external media which promotes indiviualism thus marriage or court ship suddenly seems to be too pathethic and on the contrary causal relationship, one night stands or no strings attached lovers seems to be seamlessly no frill .But what is enjoyment without expereince, what is gain with out a process or what is vistory without a fight?

Tune to channel 8 or channel U and most of the time you will find the plot will show couples in pain over spiled relationship. Are they really that bitter? IS it really nothing in a relation ship that is worth the effort to commit and by loyal to a single person?Maybe the ups may be lesser then the downs, but isn't that life anyway.

I lived for a long time thinking that marriage is a predestined failure and was cetain in my younger days that marriage is a passe . But I am certainly glad now that I could break off from that paradigm and move on with life. IN fact, towards a marriage life.

ignite camp 2006

I would like to thank God for the ignite camp 2006 for in this camp, I had a personal touch from God, infact God give me assurance and comfort in the Camp.

I went to the camp last week with a single objective and that was to get closer or intimate with God! I thought that a good 4 days 3 night within the pure indulgence of the Holy Spirit would offer me a good start to the second part of the year.

And yes indeed, God gave me some thing, some thing special and some thing powerful on the 2nd night of the Camp. During the alter call when the pastor wong came to pray for me , I had no agenda nor did I have any thing in mind to ask God for , but when the spirit of the Lord came over me, I felt immense pleasure and I could not comprehend the feeling … tears gushed out from my eyes and I fell to the spirit of God. When I was in the arms or the Spirit, I began to see visions, pictures of the youths in the cell group and how God want to expand in their life.

To me , that is approval from God. That is a signal of love from Him, a signal that He is very alive in our service to him and that He is very alive in our walk with Him.
