Girlfriend.

Since my cellgroup is made up of guys . I'm going to throw out a question .

Is having a girlfriend during teenage worth it ?

When is the best time for having a girlfriend ?

Beauty Talk : The Technology Deception.

As you can see , beauty on the outside doesn't mean everything , though sometimes it may mean something , but what matters most is still what that is inside. Technology development is increasing its pace , nobody can stop it , they can change the way we look like what has been done in the video .

^"14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified." Hebrews 10:12

We are perfected by God. Each one of us is beautiful. Some place , somewhere , we are , though in many places we aren't. But that is what makes life beautiful isn't it ?

We can never be perfect in human eyes. So here's what , cut the chase , and try to please the eye of God instead , and blessings will surely follow.

So what can I do to please the eye of God ? Here are three guidelines you can follow .

1. Love God

"Love the lord your God with all your hear , with all your soul and with all your mind."

2. Love Man

" Love your neighbours , as yourself.

Vincent.

Ask and It will be given.

Mathew 7:7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."

Sometimes in life , we do not see God. We ask for God, beg for God , and some of us just grow despair , and many back slided.

And maybe the key may lie in NOT ASKING ANYTHING FROM GOD.

Here's an illustration.

A man , very rich , fell sick . He knew a doctor , and he knew the doctor had the cure. But he didn't believe in the doctor. He died. Why ? Simple because he didn't believe , he didn't give the doctor a chance to prove to him that the cure works . If he could just ask , he would be given the cure , and he would live.

In the same way , we should just stop procrastinating , and start asking God for anything and everything ( beneficial ) . No harm asking right ? Its not like GOD's going to zap you with thunder if you ask for the wrong things, and its not like there's nothing God cannot do.

So ask something from God today , and believe.

" Dear lord Jesus , I pray that I can get an A for my physics and chemistry test that is to come. In Jesus name I pray , Amen.

Where the loves lasts forever.

Found it in one of the live albums ( I Heart Revolution ) of Hillsong United Live , " Where the love lasts forever , it speaks of how God's love is always there , and we can count on it . It pretty much hit me when I heard the first line , " Your mercy found me , Upon the broken road ". The chorus was good , talking about giving our life back to God . And last of all , God's love lasts forever. Listen with your heart open wide.

Be ministered.

Your mercy found me,
Upon the broken road,
And lifted me beyond my failing,
Into Your glory,
My sin and shame dissolved,
And now forever Yours I’ll stand.

(Pre-Chorus)
In love never to end,
To call You more than Lord,
Glorious friend.

(Chorus)
So I throw my life upon all You are,
‘Cause I know You gave it all for me,
And when all else fades,
My soul will dance with You,
Where the love lasts forever.

(Bridge)
And forever I will sing,
Lord forever I will sing,
Of how You gave Your life away,
Just to save me, Lord You saved me.

With You, where the love lasts forever.

St.Vincent.

The upcoming event would be Pizza Day . Hope you guys get ready and put on your thinking caps to think of a creative way of making of a CREATIVE PIZZA. =]

See you guys soon . =]

Vincent .

Hols , a new revelation .

Knowing God is a privilege . Whether or not you use it is up to you . Whether or not you can show God's glory is also up to you . God is love , and evrything about God is about love . Want Love ? Look for God .

I've had my procrastinations , and I fought them and found god again . Now its up to you to live up to God's name , all ye children of God .

Do not love God because he died for you and you felt like you've owed everything to him , which indeed you do . But love God because he first loved you .

Vincent .

I'm uniquely distorted.

We are beautiful in God's eyes .

Like it or not ...... we are .

Maybe not on the outside ...

But always some way ON the inside .

Sometimes its really hard to believe ,

That God would die for filth like me .

like it or not .... God did die for us .

Because we are beautiful in his eyes .

Beautiful.

EVERYTHING TO ME

Jesus Christ,
King Of Glory,
Lord Of all we praise You,
Forever Your name will be praised,
In heaven and earth always,

Jesus Christ,
You're my saviour,
And I will run after You,
For You are the Son of God and,
King over all the world,


And I will never stop praising You,
For all the things You've done for me,
And I'll b Yours forever,
Jesus you're everything to me,

Jesus You're everything to me

Personally , I really love this song . Watching the video , I could feel the lyris come to live .

Teenz Camp 09 "Entheos"

where is this?look at the view.yes its Teez Camp 09 "Entheos"!this is the view out of the balcony.

k la i am so bo liao now so i shall do the update.will just be blogging about cell group overall, my own experience and what i encounter will be in my personal blog=)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1st Day: when i arrived at church,i felt so great,cox i had missed church for consecutive 3 weeks due to some commitments out of church like the bike hike, 30 hours famine camp etc.so basically went to camp with the mood: "hey its gonna be another period of enjoyment~!"

ofcox happy to get to see the younger cell members like Jerry, Tse Kirk etc.bus ride ain't any exciting so anyways.when i arrived at the campsite,AGAIN for the 3rd time,i am appointed as one of the group leader for games.nah i am not complaining i was chosen as the group leader,but it's fun!always enjoy being the group leader because can talk rot and make my group HIGH.at least i am not those that monologue kind.got to know some of my group members.games were fun playing as a group,though we din't reli played well for the IQ and Transporter stations.and though our eggs seemed to be so well-covered and protected,all 3 still broke in the end=\ but enjoyed the fun with the people.nite game was the highlight.i guess no need to explain how the whole game goes about,too leychey to do so,but just want to say it so similar with the traditonal Hwa Chong war games i had in my school orientation.just that what i had in school is in a much larger scale.in school we used water bombs instead of the lited candles.this kind of game is the best cox it is action-based and it involves everyone!XD

i was appointed as the room leader and those who stayed in the same room as me were Jerry, Tse Kirk, Ming Wei, Ming Wai, cute cute William and Jabez!well felt nice because i always wanted opportunities to interact more with the younger cell members in my cg.and got to interact more with Jabez too=)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2nd Day: we had sermons, and our 1st workshop,FGC's got talent.i was appointed as one of the group leader,AGAIN!,and felt really shocked.we were to present a short 8min skit/performance with only 2 hours of dicussion and rehearsal time given.man.nearly kelam-kabut.luckily See Hwee and Linda(my DaDa jie) was there to help me.and some of the people in my group poured out suggestions and ideas too.thank them nak-nyak man.i chose the theme "The Secrets 不能说的秘密" and we started working out our plans.great feeling after putting up the show when we gave our best.thank you people! well for Vincent's group "大长今", he was the group leader too!and guess what?he led his group so well that he won 1st!haha *clap clap* i voted for his group too and i think they deserved it.brilliant work, Vincent.

ni lah curi from Isabell.forgot to take a pic of it, so curi.ok i acknowledge ur credit liao so dun say whatever copyright blah blah.haha.

for cell group at night, as usual its the fun-time.Tse Kirk with his forever-playful-attitude finds people to wrestle,especially me(andidunnoforwhatreasonalso).so let's let the pictures do the talking.haha. had great time playing together as a cell group^^

all started with Tse Kirk irritating others.look at where Tse Kirk is *stepping* and where Ming Wei is *punching*.haha.

so the action starts.

and they wrestle.poor Tse Kirk.

gosh our dear Tse Kirk just loves to wrestle everyone.

how much more playful can a kid be?

look at the "2-hand sign".how does he still have time to pose for the pic while wrestling?damn cute la~


now's my time to get into action.haha.


eh pic blur la.pigpig.

finally he can sit still and take a decent pic.Tse Kirk cutecute neh~

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3rd day: sermons as usual, and had our prayer workshop in the noon.this was the time i felt blessed the most,great time.i went around to encourage our younger cell members to pray and ask for something,not to attend teenz camp and gain nothing when they get home.felt really nice when i saw some of them trying hard to pray,seeing their desire for God.well but there is still much room for them to grow,so guys reach ur potential ok!keep it up.

*sermon time camwhore pics*

nite time we had the usual makan session.had extra "liao" for our cup noodles cox the games comm had leftover eggs unused for the games and thus we were fortunate to had some!

and then wrestling-time again.play and play and play...non-stop.but something serious did happen when our big brother got really furious with a cell member cox he play till went out of control.i wouldn't want to talk about the details as it isn't nice to do so,just hope that he can grow up la.act like a 13 year old, ok?know when to play and when to get serious, practice more self-control.u are still our great cell member.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4th day: nothing much to blog about this, as oure TAWG was so-so la.all the time like that.just felt that this camp was a great time to bond with the younger members in our cg,thank God for this good opportunity.hope we can bond more often and have cg outings=) ok here's a pic of our cg!

oh and actually the sermons were really great, pastor james was really good.i mean he is good and will be good all the time.lols.mm there's so much that he mentioned but will just post out a phrase i caught and thought was really good, "things are never difficult,it's just that we are not used to doing it.once we make it a habit,they will seem so easy." nice phrase by pastor james yeah,so well this phrase is to encourage all of u who reads this blog.remember this with heart!

( all other photos are up on facebook^^ )

Camp 2009 : entheos .

TEENz Camp is here . tomorrow it is .

What should I long for , Games ? Friends ? Girls ?

Or should it be worship .

Aaron Cheng once told me ,

To him , TEENz Camp is about a bunch of God seeking people ,

Coming together to whole heartedly worship him .

Its not wrong to look forward to the games ,

The workshop , Or maybe the pretty girls that you may meet

Again and again for 4 days .

But let us put our focus on God .

Listen to sermon , Learn something .

Trust me , the sermon is going to be VERY beneficial .

Cause I watched the Speaker work his sweat into the message

Sleeping an average of 4 hours a day .

So look forward to it.

Prepare yourself for a life changing encounter .

Report - May 18 ( fellowship , love , friends , church , existence)

Proving God's existence -Thinking of how blissful life has been for the past few months my life , I couldn't do anything but be gratified for how faithful god has been in my life ..... in our life ..... in everyone's life . God is there whether you see him or not . 

I've been thinking for a moment , about how can I prove God's existence . How do I prove that everything around me happens by coincidence , that we ARE the gaurdians of our own pitiful life . The answer was shown to me , in very indifferent ways . And you'll be amazed , that you can't prove God doesn't exist . Because GOD Is .... 

You may ask , "Prove to me God is real !" . The thing is ... Are you going to believe if I can prove his existence ? So what if I can prove it to you ? 

You know what ... I can't , and I won't . Because what greater prove is there , than a perfect encouter with God himself . Just one glimpse , one touch , an experience beyond memory . That is God , and if you ask me such a question , i'll leave you to god and let him prove himself to you .

Look for God , not for answers that proves God . 

CELLGROUP - It has been great , we've had new recruites to this family. They're JACKREN , YUAN ZHE , WILLIAM , Zi Kirk , Joel and VICENTI . It is my greatest regret that I do not possess a proper camera , so that I can show you their youthful faces . They have so far been a challenge to us , and great lessons in many ways . I believe God has big plans for them , and every minute I invest in them , is an investment in God's kingdom . " Let the children come to me , and do not forbid them , for such is the kingdom of heaven " (...... they are really small , if you're comparing them to me . =] ) 

LOVE - In the past few weeks , I've been reminded again by this verse . "You have forsaken your first love " from revelation 2:2-3 . It strucked like a bell . It was clear , that i've been stranding from God . And thus i felt guilty , because what he gave was for more worth than us stranding away from him . If you forget his love , look to the cross . You should have been the one there , and he took the place for you . That is love .

FRIENDS - Friends come and go . Sometimes I feel the urge to tell them they're wrong . They're following the footsteps to hell . They are living towards the life of the world . And yet i did not tell them . The question is , should I? Is it right to tell someone you're judgement against the world ?Being so torn between what is right and what seems to be compromising . Should i even be fussing over all this ? Or is it Better to just take a step back and pray , and let God do the work ? Remember this and remember it well , Only god can change a man's heart .We can only pray , and encourage .

CHURCH- What is the reason have we come to church for ? Since young we've been thought , the church is a holy temple of god , where people worship God . And i still believe that statement hangs on strong . However we've been forgetting that simple reason . We come to church to see our friends instead . We come to church to entertaint ourself . We come to church to find mates . ARE THESE THE REASONS GOD BUILDS THE CHURCH FOR ? Fine , the bible says we need to fellowship .But what is the point of fellowshiping in church , when GOD is left out of the picture. Think about it , nothing is worth , without God as the center of it all . 

Signing out , poof ~

Vincent , 

Man of mighty God .

With everything .

To be frank . I didn;t thought the song was good until i saw this video . And i could feel the heart's cry pf the people ; the hunger for God . Singing " JESUS OUR GOD , GREAT AND MIGHTY "  Do take out a few minutes to watch this video , it streamed quite fast for me . Worship God and ask yourself how much do you hunger for God.

" Dear father God , I pray that you heal all of Joseph's sicknesses and pain . That he may live for your glory your fame .In your name i pray , Amen "

Adios , CALEB CHANDRA PILLAY

. Caleb Chandra Pillay .

Man of a Mighty God

With greatest thanks , and gratitude

I say from the bottom of my heart ,

Thank you for being a friend .

A Lil history of me and caleb :

I Got to know Caleb as long as my memory could tell me . I think as young as 3. But my guess is he knew me even i was younger . He was three years older than me , and still is . I remember playing with him a lot when i meet him every friday ( in care group ) and sunday ( in church , the bakawali lot .) And I remember the time when I Boasted how hard it was to spell the word C.A.R ( i was 4 and he was 7 ) , and he embarrassed me by spelling it in my face almost intantly =x .hahhahaha , it was funny then .I got to know Caleb Chandra's full name when i was 4 , when his brother( joseph ) told me.

At age 5 , I got to trully understand that he is a half chinese and half indian , and to know that his father is an indian ( cause i always thought indians have a red dot between the eyes =x ).

Around 7 we were good friends , with a bunch of other children whose parent's were pioneers of the church . There were , me , Caleb , Joseph , Denise , Nicole , Zachary ( zoe wasn't born yet , sorry ) , Sameul , Sarah , Sharon, Joel , Rebekah , Benjamin , Charissa , Belicia , Jeremy , Janice , Joanne , Aaron and maybe someothers that my memory has failed to tell me =x .We were young and WE ..... RUN FREE .... hahaa . It was good memory . I remember the time where all the kids had differrent generation of digimon gadgets and Takamochi digital pets , my parents and calebs parent's didn't want us to play , and so we were like the kids who stood together and watch the others play .... ish i sound so dramatic . haha ....

Around 10 , i got see him lesser , as I don't see him that much anymore , because there was a new service in church call the sat night service . And I attend the sunday morning services . So we dun meet.

Around 13-15 , I started to stay back after TEENz ( which was before sat night services ) to have guitar classes . So i got to talk to them more often . We talk more and became Really good friends . We talked about music , life and Girls . Speaking about girls , I remember in 2006 , when i went to G.A.P missions in thailand with him , we slept in the same Wooden Chalet on the hills . We slept together on the wooden floor and talked all night about girls , NOT KNOWING WE WERE HEARD BY THE GIRLS IN THE NEXT CHALET . ( Crap!!! ) . So yeah , it was quite memorable . I remember him having girl problem when Miss Foon yew girl , Miss E , and RBC came into his life one after another . Thus , making him a good advisor for me when different girls came in my life too ( Okay i'll make it fair , they were miss tkl , miss k.o, miss S.a , miss J.L ) . But still , despite his numerous advices , i still played with fire and got burned ( sorry bro) . We became good music mates as sometimes supply him with new Christian music and he suplies me with some good stuff too . I remember the time when we had a rave for switchfoot and later Relient K ( it was then i was severely Punk-e-tized. =p )

At 15 , We wrote our first song together , " Catch the Fire " which became the TEENz Camp 2007 camp song . Around the same year , we had crazy ideas like starting a small designing company call " GOBSMAK " of which never came to be . haha ... In the same year i went in to some deep girl problem , where he stood by me . And of which i thank him too .

At 16 , We were into things a lot , trying to write more songs , tried out new stuff , trying to join band competitions. I went into higher ranks in WMM Musicians as he got into a higher level to as he started worship leading. We jam a lot after sat night services , always me caleb and Jospeph ( my loyal friend and drummer ) . We discuss about music , dynamics in music , and how those music would help us . We became "quite the same" in the way we rate girls , have about the same taste of music , really good friends .

At 17 , we wrote our last song before he left for tasmania , its not done yet , but it will be . Soon .

Yesterday , I was there to see him off , to go into the departure gates , i didn't cry . And i'm not sure why . Maybe becuse i'm happy for him , to see how God has led him to greater heights , greater levels of life . I truly thank God for a friend like him .

Friend, And Fellow Song Writer , bandmate . =]

Hurt my knee

Today I've hurt my knee . Seriously , its been many moons ago that i've hurt my knee . and it really hurts . the following is wad happened .

I had sports day try-outs/training . I went through different kind of stuff like Running ( i'm really no good at this ) , Short Putt , Discus , and Long Jump.

If you guessed that I've hurt myself in Long Jump you're  absolutely correct . 

I went first time , disqualified , but i passed the line . It was like , whooa..... haha I can jump man . Teacher was like saying I have a big body mass that's why I go far. 

I went second time , disqulified again , but crossed the line too .Teacher asked me to go again . i said i'll pass , since i won't compete anyway .But my chinese was like giving the bad face day , and said " TRY !!! YOU MUST !!!"

I went the third time , from a stance , to a slow jog , to a rapid acceleration and , "THOOM" I jump and landed . But due to unsteady landing , and exerting forwad force , I went on to my knees , and a sommersault followed ,then I flipped back on my feet . 

But then , my knee start hurting with a terrible looking Cut ( its a lot of scraches , and the surrounding is all bruised up ), and a bone in my lower spine hurts .

Its been a looooong time since I've hurt my knees. Its like so hot and painful , I wish i was claire bennete from heroes . 

but once again , as i felt the pain , I realised one thing .

I'm Human 

Not God  . Just human . I question myself , why do I always want to pretend god . always trying to do things that only God can do . For example . changing the hearts of man . 

We are God's humble servants. And we serve an immeasurable God , but why sometimes , we keep trying to take things into our own hands . 

Just like pastor paul kim tai said , the easy parts , we do . The hard parts , LEAVE IT TO GOD .

I Just want to say , sometimes our stress , hurts , may just come from this point of playing god , for wad god does we certainly cannot do . Therefore we will always be dissapointed .

Leave things into God's hands . trust him . Obey .

St.Vincent .

I'm going to keep this post short and sweet . ( hope you guys liked the new header , it took me quite some effort , due to unable use of photoshop =x )

-Basically , a new year to me its just a new start . Eventhough we fall again and again . We should never ever give up hope , so much so we give up the chance of a New Start . 

-Even if you have given up hope on yourself , here's a word from my grandmother ,

" The end of man , is the begininning of Christ" 

Give God a chance .
