Great Day of Revelations
I begin to read "The Heavenly Man" today. I read just the first four chapters and I already felt so moved by the works of Brother Yun. In fact, just reading the foreword alone is almost enough to move me to tears, which I didn't because I was on the MRT. Haha.
Sometimes, I really wonder why I don't seem to have any best friends who stayed with me young. I do have people I used to call best friends in the past, but as time pass, I called someone else my best friends.
Sometimes I wonder if there is anything wrong with that and that was until Pastor mentioned that we have to keep moving on from where we are and as we move on, we will change the company we hang out with. Also, friends are there to see you through different periods of your life.
The foreword for "The Heavenly Man" was written by one of the brothers who went through thick and thin with Brother Yun in the past. They were arrested and tortured in prison. Because they were locked in different cells, they even shouted to each other down the corridor to encourage one another.
That brother then mentioned that they have since drifted apart because God had called them to move in different directions.
I am sure many people have not even went through what these two persons have experienced and yet when it is time for them to part, the two of them were still willing to let go and choose to obey God, leaving behind the many wonderful memories they had together.
As I look back at the friends I have made, I just realise that my best friends just change as I move on in life. In fact, the quality of the friends and friendships improved over the years. It is really interesting indeed, that I am making friends with more awesome people. Perhaps, that is a good sign that I am growing.
And so just today, I just knew that we have gotten "A" for both the presentation we have presented! Praise the Lord! Haha.
I also chatted a lot on W372's tagboard this afternoon. Chloe, Cordy, Mei Hui was online! It is amazing to see the Tagboard so busy. Haha.
After that, I went to Bugis Street to get some new jeans and top. Meihui came to joined me and also bought a pair of jeans. She got it at a pretty good deal cuz I know the shop owner pretty well. Haha.
Meihui was almost late for her bible study after trying out and buying the jeans. We rushed down to church office as fast as we could. Had many interesting conversation with her. Haha.
Later, I went down to City Hall to meet Carolyn who offered to help out with COPE. As it was still early, we went down to Toa Payoh central and ate some really nice Chwee Kuey.
We move on to Toa Payoh meeting area to register the elderly for this Saturday's health screening at AH. We were also joined by Guan Him, one of the ministry member. The elderly were very active tonight. Haha. Had some very interesting conversation with them.
In fact, this Saturday, Carolyn will also come to help out at COPE. However, I was called back to AH to help the hospital with the health screening. So I will get to see the COPErs on Saturday but I will not be with them... It will still be fun but it will never be the same when not serving with them. Haha.
Carolyn left to meet her friend after that. Guan Him and I went to meet Jacelyn for dinner. She happen to just finished bible study and was on her way home, to Ang Mo Kio. I knew very well she will yet to have dinner as she expected to end her work late today. Haha.
We ate at Ang Mo Kio central S11. The prawn noodle there is really nice! The soup is very thick and fragrant and the chilli isn't too hot but it enhanced the flavour of the noodle.
Had some interesting talks with Jace and Guan Him too. Later took the MRT together with Guan Him and shared quite many revelations with to each other.
Yes. Today is very much a fruitful day. Haha.

Finally... A DIGI CAM! and MISSION TRIP!!
I bought my digital camera yesterday! It is the new range of Exilms by Casio. Although mine was the cheapest among the range, the Z60, I am still very happy and excited to own it!
A certain electronic chain is selling it at $459. However, this particular shop at Ang Mo Kio call M S Color Service is selling it at $449.
The best thing is, they will allow you to bargain and I manage to get it at $410! With an original pouch, a 512mb SD card and a screen protector thrown in!
What else about it?
Slim, light-weight, 6 megapixel, 3x optical zoom, large screen, best-shot function, anti-shake function and of course, SUPER USER FRIENDLY! Almost foolproof. And it is more affordable than other cameras around it's range. Casio is also a trustworthy brand.
I will be going for KL mission trip from 28th Aug to 1st Sept. It is going to be KL's Emerge and I believe it is going to be AWESOME!
Going to capture all the excitement with my Z60. Haha. Praise the Lord!

Mr. and Mrs. Seet
Went to NTUC today and bought so much things! Just so I can cook curry for mum's birthday today. Haha.
This was the first time I made curry and it isn't too fantastic. It isn't so bad, really. My mum, bro and I finished the whole portion of 9 chicken wings, potatoes and carrots! I am a natural cook I guess. Haha. However, I hope I can make better curry next time.
Yesterday, my team completed one of the four presentations for this semester, on Cleft Lip and Palate. As our facilitator gave us more time to present, we came up with certain new ideas.
First of all, I introduced myself when it was my turn to present. I crap a little bit, saying that i always have to take care of both child and parents so I am like a father to them. Thus, everyone called me the Godfather. The class and the facilitator were a little lost, but only for a while, they laughed the moment my team mate played the theme music from "The Godfather". Haha.
I have this idea of getting the audience to participate in our role play. Everyone wasn't very sure about the idea at first but after explaining to them how it will work, they all think it is a great plan to get points for audience participation!
So before the role play, I will call out the class to vote one guy and one gal from the audience. They will play as parents and will be instructed by my team mate what to do, which basically just answering three questions.
The guy's family name was Seet, so I refered to them throughout the role play as Mr. and Mrs. Seet. Their awkwardness made the whole thing even more entertaining. Haha. (I am evil. :P)
There were much clappings and laughter among the audiences. Haha. There was a part where my team mate asked the "mother" if she breast feed, she forgot the answer and turned to ask the "father", "Do I breast feed?"
"You are asking me?" The "father" replied in astonishment.
This unplanned senerio made the whole class laughed. Haha.
The last part to every presentation is a conclusion. Instead of doing a "quick" and "thank goodness it is over" kind of conclusion like everyone else, I asked my team mate to present a bit longer for it.
We used a newspaper article to talk about the topic. It was summarized together with a picture from the article, a boy who had cleft lip surgery and his before operation photo. It proved to be a very good move.
The facilitator said we could have add in a few points but we manage to cover very extensively on that very short twenty minutes. (Yes! We manage to do it within 20mins!) He said we will definitely get a "A" for this presentation. Haha.
So one down and three more to go. The next one is this Friday! Busy busy! But Fun! Haha.

National Day Parade! (NDP)
Went through deliverance service with Rev. Mike Connell two weeks ago. Attended the 20th Festival of Praise and CHC's 17th Anniversary. Not going to say much here since I already posted it on W372's blog. Haha.
Two weeks ago, I brought the elderly to watch NDP Preview with the Copers. I took a lot of pictures with my friend's camera. Waited quite awhile to get the picture's from her.
Photos taken with Copers and elderly.
The day events.
Paratroopers coming down! Elderly watching above intently.
The parade formation.
The night events.
The fire works. It got kinda smoky. Haha.
Happy Birthday SINGAPORE!!!
