Sunday..... Refreshing!!!!!

It's a great day!!! Sunday best..... Refreshing message been preached today!!!

Met up with Candy this morning for the 10:30am service..... it was great..... didn't get to see this sister for quite some time as I was busy with the Youth Baptism & Membership Class, with the P6s and was in charge of the worship schedule. Though I wasn't at the class yesterday and was at the PM's dialogue, I felt relieved and peaceful as I know God is doing a marvelous work in the service.

Today's sermon was really challenging and I was glad that I shouldn't worry abt anything on earth..... I pray tat I'll have peace when I'm taking the driving test on fri..... Lord, may I set my eyes on You and Lord bless me in this test..... Sermon was on the topic of Worry..... how often we can be worried abt any and every single matter?? I was challenged and I released it all to the Lord..... I went lunch with Mag, Tabitha and Angelina..... at Cineleisure..... had Long John Silver..... erm..... lunch was fruitful and thereafter Angelina left and the three of us went to Heeren to look for someone's present..... haha.....

I went to meet Wei Sing after the Heeren lookout..... haha..... we went to Trumpet Praise for a while..... saw Ian, my god pa..... chatted for a while then we set off to Tampines..... via express bus..... had a great time with Wei Sing and we chatted a lot..... great to be able to catch up since we didn't meet up for a long period of time.....

Thereafter, I went home..... when I was heading home, I saw the leaflet with the course I've always wanted to take..... Hope I can take if I can get the cash..... haha..... anyway, went home and relax, had dinner and here am I..... blogging and chatting..... tat's all for today folks.....

Purpose Driven!!

yoz..... life is all about being purpose driven.....

I remember being younger esp in my childhood days..... I always asked whether y I was born into this earth..... tat's not the whole point..... the whole point was..... what was I living for??

As I evaluate my life, I realised abt my love life, studies, church life, social work, meetings, etc..... they were all crashing onto me..... but wat drives me is my passion for Him..... I do agree that I think of my ex-gf at times..... I think she know who she is..... being tall and being sweet to me..... I know she have her purpose and I have mine..... though I know tat there are 3 gals who likes me now..... but I ask myself the purpose in my life is to..... serve the ministry, do well in my studies, maintain gd social work experience, attend my meetings in school (tat's a whole lot of it).....

I recently went for church music ministry auditions and it is fruitful! Other than this, I'm going to Istana this Saturday for a dialogue session..... preparing for poly forum, preparing my namecards, etc..... to meet other Students' Union members, lots of things to be done..... my publications in school, etc..... I hope I can still be purpose driven..... and not world driven.....

That's all I feel like saying now..... till then..... adios!
I know the gals who like me..... I appreciate your frankness and your trust in me..... but I need Him to guide me..... I'll pray for all of you..... if it's His will, so be it!

I hope this Saturday is gonna be fun!! esp with Yifeng(bday boy on 30th Oct), Felicia, etc!!

In His Love,
Kenny Ong

Busy! Busy! Busy!

It's been a long long week.....

I'm still surviving..... Today feels so weird..... It seemed as though I'm gone off track from God..... Suddenly, my passion is dying..... I won't let Him go..... I'm gonna lead worship tomorrow..... Hype..... anyway, I don't feel like blogging much.....

I'll be back later.....

So busy..... meetings, driving, cell, church, mission trip, cell outing.....

May I find rest in Him.....

Focus! Focus! Focus!

It's a great day today!!

10am, I was in school..... attended the Youth Entrepreneur Talk..... Joshua, the speaker, is really fantastic..... though the topic was a bit too simple as some of the guests from other institutes. Had fun in the talk though.

After tat event, we went for lunch at Redhill..... thereafter, the most impt meeting of the day..... at 2pm..... we have SCS meeting..... with the student chapter..... It was really fun as we get to meet again..... esp that Genevieve..... she irritated me during the meeting.....

I left before the meeting ended..... went to church and prepared worship for the Baptism & Membership class..... after tat, I went to the Music Ministry audition and was audited by Jennifer. The session was really awesome..... I hope I can really get in and serve!! This will be my passion..... I really felt God leading me in the direction and it's so cool!!

After the audition, I went back to blk 6C..... for the BMC..... erm..... it was also awesome..... I realised that everything I've encountered today requires one simple word. FOCUS!! Without it, nothing can be worked out..... Results will not be gd.....

My hope is to focus on my sch responsibilities as the Student Union Representative of Cypher and music ministry in COOS..... all I ask for is that He will provide!

That's all for now.....

Weird Day!!

It was a weird day today..... felt so funny as it's basic science lesson!! Can't believe it that all our facilitators were the power pack ones..... those that the year 2s were complaining about!!

I felt so weird as I was attending cell..... before that, the sense of urgency from God is so strong that I can't help but almost cried..... but nevertheless, I had to make a big decision..... and I've made it coz God was reminding me of my purpose.....

The funny thingy is tat I was toking to two of my friends who affected my life a lot..... I find it amusing..... anyway, life still has to go on and I'm waiting for tat precious time to come..... It might not come at all..... but I'll wait and see.....

To my greatest friends who listened to my cries and sorrows..... Thanks Ginny and Huifen.....

Hey, Ginny..... study hard & I'll see ya on my bday!!
Huifen, we'll have a nice chat later tonight!!

To my brother, Peter..... thx for giving me a chance to serve as the worship i/c for the cambodia mission trip for fever 04!!

*Hoping to hear from Ben Yuan soon.....

Lord, let this weird day be a day that reminds me of ya always.....

Moody.....

It was a lousy Tuesday morning as I stepped into the class and waited for our VB fac..... Aldrin Ho..... hai~ my class really dun like him. Wat to do..... They find him too hard to deal with while George and I find it interesting though.

Y moody?? I guess the moody portion was affected by reasons like the lesson today and when I was home. I was asked by my mum on why is my hp bill so expensive..... realised tat it was combined from the last bill..... pondering whether the last bill came and was it paid?? erm..... this moody thingy piles up since there were so many things to settle within a day. I have to rush a report by Monday though.....

Went for a movie today..... was kinda nice..... watched Wimbledon..... I guess it was the only time I relaxed since the past few weeks of going to camps, workshops, keeping myself busy..... Still moody now..... gonna sleep soon..... a few more hours to see my happiness again.....

Hope I wun get moody tmr.....

What a Monday!!

What a Monday!!

I was late for my first day of school!!!!! How can that happen to a disciplined Kenny??
I think there's something wrong here..... Anyway, I was late though I woke up at 5:30am.....
Got 4 miss calls before I left for school..... Anyway, took a cab..... was still late..... reached school at 8:40am..... guess grades will be affected.....

Met my enterprise facilitator today..... he's a french..... his name is Sammy Arvis.....
I like his lesson today..... enjoyed it very much..... Downsizing..... Outsourcing.....
I missed Ah Boon's lesson..... luckily it's similar to Sammy's one..... hahaz.....
Was late for Ah Boon's first lesson too..... when he took over Karen..... I guess history repeats itself?? Anyway, I'm confident of getting good results in Enterprise again??

I guess tomorrow's VB lesson will be a challenge to my class..... Aldrin Ho..... hahaz..... let's just say that my class will give him a warning ba..... We are a class that is very very scary..... all our facs like us and they tremble when they facilitate us.....

My thoughts for today..... is it worth it?? what am I living for?? who am I living for?? I'm living for Jesus, my best friend and saviour..... the one who provides me with such good class and results..... Monday blues?? Blues no more..... Monday Orange!!

I pray that I'll be able to get good results..... I hope I can please God as much as I want..... this is my desire..... I'll pray for my precious one too..... Everyone is precious..... it's Bi Jun's bday..... my mei arh..... she so good..... ask her kor to take pic..... really appreciate it alot.....

"And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can't, and life can't. The angels can't, and the demons can't. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can't keep God's love away. Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 8:38-39

Thoughts.....

A lot of things are running through my mind now.....

I'm not confused at all. Anyway, really got a lot to do now..... It's kinda sad for Fel to resign her post in Cypher but yet I'm happy for her as she gets into the course she wanted so much. Who will fill her shoes now? Isn't a big problem though. Really appreciate her time and effort in helping to pioneer such a young and growing club.

SA day has ended and I'm really really happy coz I've enjoyed it. It was also the time where the EXCOs met on the first night to really discuss about our feelings, events and all. Good retreat time arh..... Cypher was also having the meeting and I can truly say that Selvan is really passionate about Cypher as much as we do. The games were fun and all I can say is that the real challenge was the extreme gourmet! Not to mention that I was kinda scared to eat them though esp the cockroaches.

The second night was kinda weird..... I got this feeling that someone is observing me..... But anyway, through this SA Day, I was much closer to my "niece", Amanda..... and of coz closer to the others too..... That someone seems to be weird that day..... wonder what is tat person thinking..... we stayed up till 6am (most of us)..... I was then sleeping on the sofa and felt so comfortable with my "niece" ard although she pinched me till I have so many scars now..... Sorry to that someone who felt neglected or didn't really get to talk to you.....

Then here comes Wireless IG Camp..... right after the SA Day thingy..... I was really very tired and almost falling sick, which I'm feeling now when I'm typing here..... Wireless camp was kinda interesting as we had games, ice breakers, learn and play(lap), movie night, etc. I gotta know some interesting people ard and felt that it was so cool! The camp was great and thanks to those who made this camp interesting!

At last, all these camps are over and back to church life..... yesterday, I was kinda fierce to my P6s coz Josh was teaching in the Youth Baptism class. I hope I dun have to be fierce again..... coz I love my P6s and I hope they can be disciplined as time comes. It was Melissa's 21st bday and I passed her a present. Hope she likes it..... Didn't attend church today as I dun feel that well but I hope that God will heal and protect me always.....

All I know is learn to trust God. Coz everything comes from Him is good. Jesus will always be my best friend. I love Him for the friends, things He gave and provide.

I trust in Him as I would trust my precious one.....

There are many things I wanna say.....
Just couldn't bring it to mind now.....

All I wanna say is that I really appreciate all my friends esp someone.....
Thanks for being there for me..... I know that someone will be there for me always.....

Thanks Lee Fang, Jeff, Fel and Khair for making the SA Day activities happening. Thanks Naj, Lynn and Eugene for the welfare given in the chalet. Thanks Warren, Lee Fang and team for the wonderful Wireless IG Camp.....

Finally, thanks to the precious one..... guess you should know who you are.....

In His Love,
Kenny Ong

Feel Blessed!

I feel so cool today.....

Had a great sleep though I missed the MAC IG event..... oopss..... sorry guys..... am really tired after the hectic weeks..... was in poly forum session and was late..... nothing to be proud of.....

Guess what?????

I got into the Roll of Academic Honours 2004/2005 - Semester 1!!
Thanks be to God!! God is so wonderful..... though I was sad a few months back in regards to the elections esp. all the politics which I hated it so much..... I managed to hit my target of 3.5 and excel at 3.6 for this semester. I pray that God will be always so gracious and allowing me to enter the PBL university in Australia..... Jesus, my best friend..... Thanks for being so great and cool in my life.....

I remember the times in ITE..... You were always there..... and I really mean it..... Jesus is always there..... He is worthy to be praised even I didn't met my target during my first semester in ITE..... I was hoping for 3.5..... and I got 3.25..... then 3.5 then 3.75 and lastly in my final semester, I got 4!!! That's what I meant by being faithful in doing His work..... Although my cumulated GPA was 3.591 which is used for my entry to RP was kinda low..... but I guess God has pathed the way for me. I really appreciate His kindness and His grace.....

One thing I really loved is my bunch of P6 kids in church! They really make me feel so warm! I love them and wanna play with them, teach them, disciple them..... so much more..... esp. my xiao mei..... shermaine..... she's really cool..... as much as natalie, joseph, alvin..... with them around, I feel young!!!!!

I went auditions for the J21 (Joshua21) choir with shermaine mei and we were selected I guess! haha..... and I took the chance to ask whether I can go for auditions for the church band..... I'm hoping that I could..... haha..... pray hard..... Heavenly Father, I pray for your blessing and anointing upon me..... Hope to serve Him with my talents as a worship leader and guitarist.....

I've learnt to give and receive as and when the Lord does so.....

Lord, I ask of you a favour. Grant me the passion and wisdom.
All I ask for is that I can grow into your likeness. Make me a servant.

This I ask in Your name,
Amen!!!!!

Friends and all, don't feel discouraged.....
Coz, Jesus is there and He's our best friend..... not just mine!!!!!

- Feel Blessed! -
Mood: Happy but confused.
Mode: Spiritual, not flirty!

Learning Issues

I guess it was one of the camps that I lack the most important thing.....

SLEEP!

During this EXCO/MC Camp aka Camp Sapphire, I've learnt a lot of things whether it is politics, character, personality, etc.

Though I'm not always with my groups, I know that I have a role to do. My role in this camp is the photographer. I did enjoy this camp as a photographer as it is the first time I did such a role.

I had fun scaring people at the nightwalk which allowed me to know more people and understand their worries, etc.

Throughout the camp, I was looking out for everyone especially those who need my attention or those who were left out. I knew a couple of new faces like Lihong, Hanfeng, Ting Ho, Richmond, etc.

The learning issues are not just theory thingy..... it has a lot to do with substance. I can't think of what to type though. I guess I would continue later.....
