Waiting all Night;

Heh.

turns out that quite alot of people turned up for Cell Group today which means that the band practice was more successful than i thought. Hope this turn-out rate continues, though, because we'll be performing on the 22nd of July at our church.

Another interesting thing is that since July is YOUTH WEEK , some of the teenagers will be helping out during service by playing on musical instruments such as guitars, pianos, etc. In 3 months i'll be playing about 4 times, which is almost once every month.

Today's service subject was quite engaging, because the title of the sermon was "The Call of the Wild."

Talk about clich-edness. It so happens that a chinese book im reading for school is also a similar title. The sermon (preached by Pastor Keith Lai) was basically about Saul trying to kill David. Basically.

I'm terribly sorry about the change in colours. Woops.

Anyway, back on subject. I realised we need to:

a)Be Alone with God
b)Be Aware of God
c)Be Alert of God

more. It was quite interesting how David came to repay good with evil, which reminds me of this quote at "Mere Christianity" by C.S Lewis (i think).

"To repay good with evil is evil, to repay good with good is human, to repay evil with good is divine."

Wow.

It's also necessary for us to have a:

a) Discerning faith
b) Contagious faith
c) Patient faith

which is very vital in Singapore's hectic pace of society today.

Moral of the Story?
Cultivate a Faith Response with God.

Orange this time ^^.

On another hand, we celeberated my grandfather's birthday + anniversary of his marriage with my grandmother (maternal side). Needless to say, it was quite an enjoyable affair besides the fact that our table received the least food (at SICC) out of the rest.

The food was good, nonetheless.

It was also pretty fun taking candid shots of my cousins (whom some were quite irritated and threatened to break my camera :D) and cute shots of Megan, Qishao and Serena. Those 3 are the killer combinations, i tell you.

There was also a slideshow which was quite nostalgic as it recounted the past trips to other countries and marriages. I didn't know my sister looked THAT much like serena. In some ways, she looks abit like carmen too in one of the shots.

I DIDN'T KNOW MY BROTHER LOOKED GEEKY IN RI. HAHAHAHAHA.

Quote of the Day: "People, you do NOT need luck for exams, you need ANSWERS (cough, hack or bribe anyone?) -Yew Ngee, or Uni!
