Time Flies

No pain, no gain.

Almost after every Sunday, I’ll be having muscle pain and bruises everywhere. Yeah, after my dance lesson. But I’m actually quite happy about it lol. Well, at least it shows my effort and how serious I am to learn the dance right? No pain, no gain. wiki ↗

It’s the same in our life. Most of the time in life, we learn from our mistakes. Sometimes, we may even need to sacrifice something in order to gain something. And we tend to appreciate things more, only after we’ve lose something dear to us.. No pain, no gain. At least from it I learned to see things in God’s way and how to look at things positively. Both good and bad things.

It’s a good phase to remember, don’t you think so? =]

Everyday © 1999 Houston

What to say, Lord? It’s
You who gave me life and I
Can’t explain just how
Much You mean to me now
That You have saved me, Lord
I give all that I am to You
That everyday I can
Be a light that shines Your name

Everyday, Lord, I’ll
Learn to stand upon Your word
And I pray that I
That I might come to know You more
That You would guide me with every single step I take, that
Everyday I can
Be Your light unto the world

Everyday, it’s You I live for
Everyday, I’ll follow after You
Everyday, I’ll walk with You, my Lord

It’s You I live for, everyday.
This song pretty much explained everything. The way I feel now. =]

Anyway, I have the urge to change my layout. Or maybe modify just a lil?
We’ll see. Soon, very soon.

I miss it.

We had a youth retreat last Thursday, and church family camp at the same place for the next 3 days. We were having theme talk - Charge Up for the year 2008, and used Ephesians 6:10-20 - The Armor of God as the topic. I shall not go into the details, but here’s the random things happened there.

I had a lot of fun pictionary-ing with everyone especially with Dorcas as my partner, Elaine and Sarah, and the last day with Hon Whi, Sue Ann, Jonathan, Lay Yean and Hannah. The “coronation”, “bracelet”, “lungs”, “slippers” and etc will always give us a laugh. xDD I also enjoyed chatting with Elaine in the toilet while we were bathing. Having fun exchanging slippers with Sarah. The GREEN!! team pose was fun! I’m glad the youth enjoyed the games I’ve prepared, especially the word guessing game and the punishment. Lmao. I learnt to be ready to be played back as a game master next time. Lol. I also gained great experience and confidence for being a game master. Daniel is a great dancer by the way. The youth had done an awesome job performing the sketch. Well done guys! *applause* 3 hours taking care of the kids were tiring, but I had fun with them. They were adorable. And Sarah was really very good with the kids. I had a good little chat with Hannah too. I had a great time sitting around with the youth leaders and chat. The sharing time with Samuel, Sarah and Jonathan was great too. We ate a lot of rice, we just need the energy I guess. I enjoyed the snack party and chatting very much. The Rocky, Pringles, peanuts, cheesecake.. I had fun teaching the youth the dance steps for Welcome to this Family and leading the congregation with them. I enjoyed all the worship sessions too. Hopefully I could done a better job worship leading next time. I was glad to see Kenny and Alvin. I missed the time when they were leading the youth. I cried after the sermon while Pastor was praying. I didn’t know why, but my tears just came out like that. This camp allowed me to see and know my church members better. I can’t believe I didn’t really see Jane’s dad in the church before, after so many years. o_o I’m so glad to see the youth’s growing. Everyone was opened and willing to share during the discussion, which seldom happens during Sunday youth. I learnt to appreciate the time spending with each and everyone of them, and the friendship we have. The fact that Dorcas is leaving us soon makes me very sad.. I’m going to ask her out for lunch or dinner whenever I can. I also learnt not to be stubborn in some ways. Thanks Lay Yean for fetching me home too. We had a great conversation in the car.

Last but not lease, I would really like to thank God for the fruitful time at camp. I’ll be regret if I missed out this camp. Though it was tiring, I had tremendous fun. And most importantly, I’ve learnt a lot through out the whole camp. The bonding was great. The activities was great. The fellowship was great. I had a great great awesome time. =]
