Sorry for the inconsistancy.. i was really busy at work lately that i didn’t have that moment to stop and write. Thow Wee, you can take me off of the impression that i am a professional blogger.

1. In another few days time, after turning into 25, i got to start looking forward to being 26. Sian…. why so fast…

Its 4 more days to christmas and the christmas mood is really there, crowded streets at Orchard Road, late night shopping, carolling, people falling sick from too much shopping, insomia just because they do not have enough money to buy presents etc

However, one must step back and enjoy the joys of this merry season. 3 words: Peace Joy Love. So here is top 10 things u need to do to prepare yourself for a joyous occasion. Ho Ho Ho

TOP 10 THINGS TO PREPARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS COMES:-

10. Purchase santa hats, christmas neon lights or anything that is red or green.

9. Stop your shopping on christmas eve.

8. Exercise everyday cos there will be tons of turkey n log cakes to be eaten everywhere.

7. Don’t be shy… Let’s all sing, sing and sing carols!

6. Camera: For memories of Christmas 2005

5. I will say it and say it again: Avoid Orchard and avoid the risk of being gunned down by snow sprays.

4. Tons of rest to prevent yourself from falling sick where everyone else is having fun. (-_-)

3. Finishing up all your wrapping n writing of christmas cards.

2. Have an open heart if you are attending a church service.

1. Be R………e…………a……….D……………..Y!!!!!!! Woohoo!

Hmmm…. 9 more days to christmas… how exciting?? Finished your christmas shopping yet? If not, there are plenty of late night shopping available at many shopping centres. Poor sales people… so much OT to do..

Well, besides all the shopping, singing of carols and all the christmas lights, we must go back to the meaning of christmas and it ain’t no santa claus thingy… its all about Jesus n His great birth. Is funny how so many people in the world celebrate christmas even though some of them ain’t christians but they caught the spirit of christmas: GIVING!! Everyone frantically shopping to give presents to their loved ones. However, the greatest present that has been given to mankind from the greatest giver in the world is Jesus. So christians, lets raise up to the occasion, start giving out the gospel of Jesus to your friends before u end this year. Here is 10 reasons why..

TOP 10 REASONS WHY YOU NEED TO BRING SOMEONE TO EXPO HALL 8 THIS CHRISTMAS:

10. Experiencing good, clean fun for the your family n friends with the carnival & drama etc.. way much better than the zoukout.

9. To put a stop in people’s mind that Christmas isnt about santa, is about Jesus.

8. Its more meaningful compared to spending it with tons of people in orchard road with snow sprays in their hands, trying to kill u with them.

7. You will be abiding in the word of Mat 28:18-20.

6. To fulfill a resolution you made at the beginning of the year.

5. Heard that the drama is going to be very good this year..

4. God will reward you and you will receive treasures in Heaven.

3. Because all of your friends stays in the East, no excuses for them not to come.

2. So that all your praying and fasting these past few months will not go down to waste.

1. You are creating opportunity for your friends to know Jesus and thats what is all about.

So come mon… we have 9 more days… let’s continue to invite!

Someone encouraged me to write this entry today and if you are blessed in what you are reading here, you have her to thank.

As you know, christmas is around the corner and for those of you who have eyes and heart, you would know that this is the best time to celebrate with your loved ones.. esp couples… you know..  the nicely wrapped up christmas presents, dimmed lights everywhere, nice romantic christmas songs, dinner etc.. and then, there you are, with your face pressed against the window, wondering when is it ever going to happen for you.

As a single person myself, i am proud to say that although i am single but yet i live a very happy person. Some may say" yeah, sure… she is just being proud… is impossible…etc etc" But what i can tell u is that yes, you can be proud to be single. I know that society and i mean our parents always want us to get married(which maybe a nicer way to say "quit living off me") So we get pressurised, desperate, then later depressed for what seem to be difficult to achieve in our lives.

Just want to encourage you with this story of a revelation that God showed me about relationships.

Scene: God and you are in a very huge apple orchard where thousands of trees are planted with apples. So God said to you "Go pick for yourself the nicest apple out of the orchard and bring it back here to me" So you went off around looking for the best looking, the most delicious looking apple. Then you saw one apple, looking all red and juicy but when u took a bite out of it, worms began to unfold out of the apple. Then u went and pick another apple, looks nice on the outside and no worms on the inside, but when u took a bite of it, it ain’t a sweet apple. So you continued picking but yet each apple u picked, they were either rotten or unriped yet. Depressed and tired, you decided to give up to go back and look for God. God smiled at you and said… "You can continue to look for what you think is the best apple for you but the true is that out of this orchard, i have already picked the best apple for you." So God reached out from His back and handed you the best apple that He had picked out for you and indeed it was the best apple.

Moral of the story: Don’t go out searching for something that God has already prepared for you. You can save yourself from the disappointment of what you think is right for you. Don’t be sad if it is not happening for you yet, God knows what is the best for you. Even if He doesn’t have an apple for you, live in the peace that He is already there for you. I know that i am satisfied as a single because of who God is in my life. So there is nothing to be ashamed now if you are single, Jesus never did get married and you don’t see Him whining abt not having the apple in His life. So you singles out there, you can be single n alone but you will never have to feel lonely ultimately because Jesus is the ONE for you.

Yesterday night, my friend and i went to ’spy’ the new ground that CHC is going to be for the next few years. I was amazed on how big the hall is. Check out the photo. Anyway, it made me realised how great it is to have 7,000 people worshipping together in the same place.

Time really passes by very fast… already the year 2005 is coming to an end and already, CHC will move from the West back into the East. It seems like only yesterday that we moved from Hollywood to Jurong. I feel so excited when i saw hall 8 and i just know that our church building will be something like that. HUGE. So what can we expect to see when we move in Singapore Expo Hall 8?

TOP 10 THINGS WE CAN EXPECT WHEN WE MOVE INTO HALL 8

10. More fellowship at Bedok, Tampiness or Changi village.

9. No HDBs around.

8. 3 times bigger than our current audi… WOAH.. If u don’t come early and get good seats, chances are u might see a smaller Pastor Kong.

7. Seeing airplanes flying around.

6. More people rising up to serve God.

5. No more free parking… but plenty of car park lots..

4. SVC 3

3. Plenty of space to gather after service and not having securities chase us off or tell us to keep it down.

2. Hawkers at the Jurong Kopitiam beating houseflies away.

1. Double portion of the God’s anointing and presence that will draw the eastern side of Singapore to come to the Lord. Praise God!!
