Yes i am looking forward to this sat meeting with my very own members especially after so many combined meetings for the past few months! Nothing beats coming together on our own. My exceptional excitement credited its due cause to all the information that my members revealed to me through the week. The refreshment, the fellowship to come and tata the surprise birthday celebration! Finally i embraced sat with open arms!
Well, in the early noon i was a little flustered because i knew i going to be late for cg! GOsh, i cant believe i left my house for Kim's house at 1145am and who knows i got myself trapped in a long, boring hour of massive traffic jam! The cars were crawling and my heart was beating faster as each seconds ticked by. I was totally surrounded by an ocean of cars. The option of taking cab was totally eliminated when i saw all the other lanes are not moving as well. That sight was not very encouraging when you know you have an agenda ahead and 18 ppl waiting for you to start cell.
So anyway games went on as planned. The cg succeeded in sabo-ing belle, the bday girl! Everyone (except belle) in the morning recevied a sms from me telling them not to be late and the cooperation of the scheming idea to let belle forfeit in every single round. I know I am evil but I cant help it. (i am not a saddist k). I am glad there were totally no signs of knowing a bday celebration that was going to happen in a few seconds time right after ice breaker! OH the game was just a disguise or rather a platform to the actual celebration.. haha!
Belle was in complete shock when we brought out the sabo (her bday cake)! As we echoed the hall with our heart felt happy bday tune, tears of joy and thankfulness tickled belle's face. Awww.. Belle... we just want to say WE LOVE YOU! Hope you like the surprise and the present! =) Happy birthday!
Esther!! Post the pictures soon!
And of coz we had a great cg! Won't you all agree from the beginning to the end, the touch from God, the commitment we made, the attitudes we decided to change.. today we made history!! I thoroughly enjoyed myself! I am very very very inspired by Alfred, Jian Yun, Vivian, Esther, Alexis and Jon! All of them shared of their gd results and the plenty of financial blessings! From the $30 blessing to the $1000 blessing, its the same God that moved! We are very excited coz we are expecting many treats!! Ahem~ =) God You are the BEst!
Fellowship was good with abundance of food. Fried rice cooked by Ms Tan Li Hao, the funny new receipe on crabmeat by Mr Chan Jian Guang, and not forgetting the delicious, yummy, thumb licking, tongue slurping cheese dip, which was everyone's favourite.. put a smile on everyone's face! And there was so much food until we burp~~~~
The most shocking event for the day.. The lift took us from the 25th floor to the ground level.. Screamswas what we all heard..
Contributed and directed perfectly by Ms Tan Huiyan. The unsuccessful attempt to scare us out of our wits was concluded with a "this is not funny" by a total stranger. They nearly jumped out of their pants! Well, i guess u all know what happen. Please do not try this again. Its not for the faint-hearted...
Yes i know i kinda long winded.. So let the pic below do the talking!
This is what Jon and me bought at Adidas!
The left pic : Jon's
The right pic : Mine! (Jon said my feet is so small)
We are the best and new ambassadors for Adidas!
Jon treated us Andersen Ice cream... Look at bear!
Yummy!!!
Then we went to the famous Rochor for another sweet dessert!

How to be the Head & not the tail? Above & not beneath?
I was on train today for our combined prayer meeting cg @ riverwalk when I asked this question on how to be the Head & not the tail? Above & not beneath?
I came to an understanding that there is only a small difference between successful people and failures. Successful people do things which they hate to do most but they still persist in doing it because they know it is the ONLY route to success in life. On the other hand, failures choose to do the oherwise which is normally the easy way. It is a simple logical phrase but not many people know about it.
Sometimes you do not need to outperform the rest to be the head but you just need to outlast them. There will be times of tide where many from the top will fall. It could be an exam, assignment, financial crisis, economic downturn. If you are an overcomer and a problem solver. When you face your fears & overcome every single problem one at a time, you will become stronger and this will advance you a step at a time further. It will come to a time when the first shall be the last and last shall be the first.
I was strengthen by these words. Hope this will motivate all who are studying & working, may it be in your area of school, finances or career.
yo peeps! this week fasting and prayer focus, how was it for all of you? at least i know i hang on till the very last.
fasting- fasting for 120hrs was my very first time. i never even tried fasting for 24hrs before! i think i shoot words off too quickly when i say it was 'no kick'? but nevertheless, i did fast for 120hrs. and i succeeded. amen to that la! initially, the first day was still alright. the hunger jus come during lunch time and lasted till e nite. only when i had my quiet time, the hunger is gone. the following days went on the same. perhaps it was my first time, i wasn't still used to it. the 2nd day onwards, i started to feel giddy whenever i climbed up the stairs to my class because its at the fifth floor. you all may think is jus fifth floor, but, the steps were of big gaps. it were big steps that i took, and was early in the morning, when my eyes were even barely open. i was just getting more and more lethargic day after day, even falling aslp halfway thru 2 of my maths test[i wonder how badly i had done]. however, impt lesson that i learn was really to pray more and even more. i pray whenever i felt lik i was about to die? not really to that extreme. but i just learn to pray more for strength la. when i pray, hunger were replace by strength and power from God. though physically i was still tired, but mentally, still workin. still was able to think[sounds contradicting?i don't know la]. anyw,i really thank God for that, which was lik a miracle. if not, i dun think i could even last thru one day.
prayer- praying with our partner was another fear to conquer? luckily my partner was none other than my connect grp ldr, esther. *clap clap* yeah! it therefore made communication easier for us. on mon, the start of everything, i was still in the blurr condition, i believe. it was jus 3 min aft my own quiet time when esther called to pray for the particular theme. on the first day, esther started the prayer and closes it. i was sort of in e middle. frm e 2nd day onward, i was the one who started prayin first, becoz esther had ask me to. it was a struggle for me. as some of the theme, i dun really noe wat to pray for la. so it was a hard time for me. but luckily, i had esther! she was guiding me all along, teaching me what i can do and stuffs. e.g. lik writin down wat i wan to pray for so i will not forget and stuffs. then also keep encouraging me la. till now, i kind of like e 15 mins of praying wif my partner.
thats all i wanna share abt my tis wk of experience. sounds lik sharin testimony lik tat sia. lol. that's all folks! =D happy family keep rocking mann!!
Last week was my lowest point of the year. My investments crashed in secs and I maxed my credit cards to pay it now, my work boss & work load was giving me too much stress & sky high expectations that I was about to type my resignation letter and I had the most difficult subject of my Uni life so far that I spent 10 hours on the test and only got 60m for the first time which will affect my Uni sponsorship.
I decided to throw everything aside and seek God first. On my first day of prayer & fasting last week, it was super difficult for me to wake up at 530am with merely 3-4hrs of sleep. But my mum was on fire & she dragged me up lol. The atmosphere was great when I step into the presence. Immediately I had revelations and I begin to write down. In order to have a breakthrough and have more of everything, I need to have more of God & less of me. I wanted more of everything but I wanted God even more than anything as He is Jehova Jireh our provider of all things. Towards the end where we started worshiping and Pst Tan told us to release our stress, burden to God. Its when I can't stop crying. Ya I know, it like wah cow. Im a guy & I never cry for years. Wat m I doing so paiseh.. But I just felt the peace, wisdom and strength to face my challenges thats coming in a few hours time on Monday. To my amazed, breakthrough came as I faced my work & boss. Not sure why but she begin to understand that I am over loaded and she even helped me to do some of it instead of always dumping to me ahaha. God never fail to amaze me with so many miracles as u al know fm my "O" levels to my sponsorship & 65% & to my ambassador selection blabla talk somemore wait u al say not fair haha. Anyway the next few days of prayer meeting was even more power packed.
Most of us have a mindset that when we are tired & if we go for an exercise, it will be even more tiring but frens let me tell u its d other way! When we cruxify our flesh by waking early to pray & fast together in the best early hours & to put God first, oh my u wil feel so recharged, refreshed & annointed after it! Hab 2:4, Rom 1:17, Gal 3:11, Heb 10:38, Mat 15:28 But the righteous shall live by faith. We r al righteous people living by faith!
Congrats to E462 for our breakthrough praying & fasting together! Lets believe for a CELLQUAKE! Something big is COMIN yeh.
Alexis im so impressed by u tat u fast for 120hrs on water alone! I salute u! Vivian my prayer buddy was always so on one! Everyday we even countdown to our prayer time at 10.45pm haha. Tats wat I called ZAI! I know we can do it de no matter hw tired & bz we r! As for d rest of d cg lets thank God for the victory that is on d way.

The Lord will make you thehead, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. -- Deu 28:13 (NIV)
Quote - ' A compass is narrow minded - it always points north.' - Billy Graham
If the compass deviated, a thousand mishaps would occur in the air, at sea and on land. People everywhere are depending upon that undeviating compass to give clear direction. What we focus on is what we get. If you're on the plane to Hong Kong, that's where you'll arrive, even if you really want to go to London. If your highest desire is for your organisation to grow but you focus on writing books, speaking at Conferences, recording albums etcetera that's your true direction. The things that we mentally, emotionally and spiritually focus on will determine where we will arrive.
E462 Jia you Jia you!! As fast and pray this week and focus, GOd will bring us to our destination!
Thanks for the commercial :D [ anyway good job Jordan :DD]

For all the singles out there, the government has solutions or recommendations to changing your single status :
Read on ST :
IN-BETWEEN discussing the economy and the impact of the Internet on politics worldwide, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong also had some words of advice for singles seeking a partner.
1. Make time to go out and meet new friends. 2. Join a dating agency, be it the government SDU/SDS or a private agency. 3. Bring your social graces up to scratch. For instance, do not wear slippers when bringing your date for a romantic dinner at a nice restaurant. 4. Have realistic expectations. You have to make an effort for the relationship to work.
While it is easy to get carried away by romantic images in movies - where you meet someone of your dreams, instantly fall madly in love, get married, maybe have twins and live happily ever after - we are ordinary people in real life.
'We may not have instant sparks the first time. But you take your time, discover the person for who he or she is, nurture the relationship, and then maybe love may blossom,' said PM Lee.
Ting : so what aare you waiting for? Pick up that phone and arrange a date!
While we're all waiting excitedly for Part II of Alfred's post, i would like to commend someone who helped me out a few weeks ago while we were at the children's home. Of course, i would also like to say thank you to everyone but my big, big thanks would be to ...(drum roll pleaseeee):
JORDAN POH!!!!!!!!!
Jordan was very kind to me and he helped me out a lot by taking care of one really hyperactive kid named Sanjeev (not sure of the spelling :) ). Not only that, i still think of how he acted at that time. He also said something to me that although i forgot the exact words, i still remember the thought. It went something like this : esther, do what you have to do..i will take care of the rest.
He has a servant's heart and i'm really grateful.
Waahh..i feel like this post is so dramatic...haha..once again, Thanks Jordan!

The qualities of the 6 make the finest and most concerned parent and one often deeply involved in domestic activities. Openness and honesty is apparent in your approach to all relationships.

There may be a tendency for you to be too exacting and demanding of yourself. In this regard, you may at times sacrifice yourself (or your loved ones) for the welfare of others.

There are 6 letters in your name.Those 6 letters total to 27 There are 2 vowels and 4 consonants in your name.

Friendships, affection, and love are extremely important.
Undeveloped or ignored, the negative side of the 9 expression can be very selfish and self-centered.

It is your role to be very involved with other people and their needs, but it may be difficult for you achieve this role. Aloofness, lack of involvement, and a lack of sensitivity mark the low road of this expression.

You have a decidedly upbeat attitude that is rarely discouraged; a good mental and emotional balance.
The 3 Soul Urge gives intuitive insight, thus, very high creative and inspirational tendencies. The truly outstanding trait shown by the 3 Soul Urge is that of self-expression, regardless of the field of endeavor.
On the negative side, you may at times become too easygoing and too optimistic, tending to scatter forces and accomplish very little. Often, the excessive 3 energy produces non-stop talkers. Everyone has faults, but the 3 soul urge doesn't appreciate having these pointed out.
Your Inner Dream number is: 6
An Inner Dream number of 6 means: You dream of guiding and fostering the perfect family in the perfect home. You crave the devotion from offspring and a loving spouse. You picture yourself in the center of a successful domestic unit.
The morning prayer card that we received. Collect the stickers to exchange for a starbucks coffee! Everyday there is a theme (today is "Blessing" 3 John 2)
Wow I am very encouraged to see my members attending the morning prayer session today. Alfred, Wilma, Alexis, Hui Yan and Vivian went. I am super amazed that they sacrificed their beauty sleep in spite of their holiday, especially Vivian, after so many weeks of intensive drills for NDP, she still turned up today and joined us in prayers! Wow, Vivian you zai!~
Alright it was terribly hard for me to wake up today as well. I battled with my alarm and the call from Joanne made me jumped out of bed. It was already 530. I am running late. After a quick wash up, I hurried down the stairs to catch the morning bus. It took me close to 50 mins to reach paya lebar.. it was a sleepy ride..
Cant really see? Well thats how bad my vision was this morning! hhaaa.. it says 63oam!~
It was a morning full of surprises..
1. Man, i was totally in awe to see a sea of people swamping towards Heart of God. And I was like Yeah i am at the right place at the right time. Can i say our members are just passionate ppl that really love to pray? So early and yet so many people!
2. I met up with Garv and lo and behold, to our horror, there were only 2 lifts serving us or rather leading to the main hall. Well, the alternative way will be the stairs. If i am not in my office wear, i would have chosen the latter.
3. The place was fully packed just as alexis has mentioned. Thank God i wasnt very late so i still got a seat in the main hall! I saw alot of our zone members. It felt good praying together.
4. The last 15 mins of worship was tremendously awesome. Annabel led us into a wonderful presence of God! I was totally amazed in such a short time how God can move so powerfully! I got friends telling me JW session wasnt too bad as well.
5. Pst Tan said breakfast was prepared for us! wahh thats so nice of church to give us that treat! But too bad, i have to beat the crowd to get to the lift then to the station. Zoom!
6. Lastly, I prayed through the 1 hr w/o falling off my chair! It was my first time waking up so early to pray too! Alexis you are not alone. Its one of a kind experience! It felt really good to give God the first hour of my week before my day really started!
This is a picture of the hall.. everyone looked like they are sleeping? Nope! We arepraying!
I would strongly encouraged all to attend this morning prayer meeting! IF you think you cant wake up, its time to crucify your flesh! Come join us and you know what I mean. It's worth trading your few more mins of sleep!
dear happy family, today i attended prayer meeting at heart of God church inside singapore post centre at paya lebar. though i was late, but i had a live telecast of the crowd from belle (the advantage of having a 3G phone). it was really crowded. as i reach, there was a long queue, and is only for the lift to go up!! huiyan and i cut queue because belle and vivian were already there and had queue for the lift. when we were inside the church, it was full house like NDP! we proceed to the balcony - also no space! so belle, huiyan, vivian and i had to squeeze at a small corner, like mice in a mouse hole. but, whatever it is, no matter how cramp it was, how warm it was, it did not distract us from really praying! and as for me, i was really tired and never did i try praying in the morning. initially, i started quite restless. however, i got more and more energetic afterwards. moreover, i thought suting was on stage today! on whole, the session was YI JI BANG! haha. =)
people who didn't attend prayer meeting today, there's still until this friday and next week. everyone, let's try to make an effort and attend at least once, ok?! because, even i also went for it today! and if you want free starbucks voucher, then make it for 5 sessions! haha. enjoy! =D
Hey all! Alright finally i tell myself i must sit down and write something proper. Time seemed to be slippling through my fingers like sand. Before i could even plan or know what to do with the precious 24 hrs that God give me each day, it turned out that the events for the day has dropped into the archived lanes.
Well, today after BS with JY, i told him we are God's stewart. A stewart is one that is faithful with what God has entrusted us with. Hmm, at that point, though it was msg on giving, Holy spirit just reminded me that in my life that time is a factor in my life where i must all learn to manage and use it the best we know how. He gives us a brand new 24 hrs each day! Each sec, min, hour is new, precious! Dun waste them! Alright, from today on, I promised to be wise with my time and become more discpline! (alright, lazy peeps lets get moving! you know who you are =P)
Anyway, I am just very blessed when i read Jon's entries on the FOP sermon and what God spoke to him abt! Jon, very proud of you and well done! I pray the rest will dare to step out in faith and share what God has spoke to them abt! And thanks for the entry on my promotion! I sounded terrible over that video.. Gosh! I think it was a flattering statment to say i look like annabel.. Oh man, I think my friend needs to change his specs! I am far from it.. but i am working on it! Laughs.. nah just kidding! =)

Hey people! anyone interested? Concert by the Carpenter's Tools International. It's a christian youth band from the States. They are in Singapore, going to many schools and sharing God's word. Today they came to my school, and they are so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People, should we go? It's held on the 16 of August at DBS Auditorium (near Tanjong Pagar Mrt), 3-5pm. Tickets only at $6 each. Limited seats. Waiting for everyone's replies!!!!!! =DDD
Took me some courage to write this.. Well I think it will be good to share with you wonderful peeps something which I had experienced last friday. It was an ordinary day but with an extraordinary feeling when I woke up. Not sure why, but I just wanted to experience God maybe felt guilty of my terrible prayer timings due to my busyness... (excuse haha) Anyway I decided to make an effort to pray in tongues from my doorstep to the bus stop, seeking God to pls pls pls speak to me. I asked Him how am I able to MULTIPLY my time as it was a busy week with impossible datelines for my work & studies. Its like I was telling him God, I'm only 1 person, my team member apparently went Hong Kong for summer sales shopping... and how am I going to complete so many things + my sch work really impossible.
I was like shocked when God did reply me haha surprisingly, He gave me a word; MULTITASK. I thought through and yeh hmm you might be right. I could be like Him omnipresent (meaning at many places) at one time if I could multitask to fully maximize my time. I reflected deeply on where could I maxize my time and true enough I could walk a little faster (Singaporeans are the no.1 fastest walker in the world due to our hectic life), reading my sch stuffs while on mrt etc. As usual, im always full of doubt so I tell God that it is IMPOSSIBLE as u know I got this & tat lah haha. But how many of us know that with God al things r possible and indeed God tell me that if u break down the word IMPOSSIBLE it became I-M-POSSIBLE!. Its like omg... I don't know if what I just shared is telling you something but it certainly did impacted me alot especially when u try to debate with God yourself haha. Its like WOW!!! OMG!!! Totally awesome!!! Thanks for your wisdom God!!!
I also realized that speaking to God is really a 2 way thingy, you do have to talk and wait for a response! not just you talking talking talking ya peeps?
Festival Of Praise - Day 3 Pastor Mark Conner: What wil you do if you have only 3 months to live?
For the benefit of everyone. I had summarized Day 1-3 sermon. Enjoy.
www.deathclock.com wil tell you when is the exact date and time you will die. cool lol.
Values from Media, Society 1 John 2:15-16 tells us 3 P - Pleasure, Possession Prestige. These are the world values which doesn't last.
Rom 12:2
Heb 11:35
3 things that have eternal value - Loving God wholeheartedly, know Him as a friend. How? By listening to him, find out what he likes and doesn't like. - Loving people surpasses bible knowledge, gift as these will be used up one day. - Investtime, talent, resources in the work of God. Eph 2:10 (We are God's workmanship created in Jesus to do good works) Be a servant and stop seating there asking God to give you things.
Festival Of Praise - Day 2 Pastor Mark Conner: GROWING OLD OR GROWING UP?
- You have responsibility TO others but not FOR others. - The only 1 you have control & responsible of is yourself! - Take away unhealthy thoughts, don't replay in HD mode, put custom checks in your mind to filter off negativity. - Exodus 8 is where the king wanted to put out the frogs tml... Do not procrastinate and leave in yesterday. - Give leadership to our will. We need to have a red light to have responsibility to other emotions. - You have control of your emotions. Don't rewind to channel of negativity haha sounds like easter drama that scene where the wife cheated on husband. - Think of good things that had happened to make yourself feel good, this is a choice! - Joy is a choice while happiness is when something happened. Paul is in prison when he rejoice. - It is only in time of needs e.g sleepy, but when you want and say to yourself wake up now, you had made a choice. (Maturity is when you have leadership & take responsibility of your own life). - You can't control people but yourself, be in a healthy place & influence your world. - Respect & love your enemy. Christians like us have something that others do not, we have the Holy Spirit to help us =)
Festival Of Praise - Day 1 Pastor Mark Conner: BUILDING A STRONG SPIRITUAL ATMOSPHERE
Every group, every community has an atmosphere. Acts 9 clearly depicts the atmosphere of the church in that time.
Acts 9:31 31 Then the churches[d] throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were edified. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.
Here contains 4 ingredients that are important to creating an atmosphere of power and of growth: Peace – Peace with God (turn towards God-repentance); Peace of God (from storms of life; Phil 4:6-7); Peace with one another (Rom 12:18; to resolve conflicts without telling the world of your problems which promotes rumours and gossip...) Encouragement – To encourage is to edify. To edify is to strengthen, to build up, to come alongside to grow and to develop. How do we build encouragement with one another? Look for the good things of people and communicate it to them. Encouragement is oxygen for the soul! It affirms an individual and also help to progress the individual by inspiring the individual to fulfil his/her potential. Man however looks at us for who we were and who we are. God looks at us for the way we are and the way we can be. God looks at our POTENTIAL. E.g. Simon -> Peter. How do you see people? Look out for who they can be!
Encourage them with what needs adjusting so they can progress towards the potential that you see. When you observe something that needs adjusting, do not go around telling other people about the issue. But speak to the individual with honesty and in love. Speak the truth – God’s truth - in love. Feedback is not always easy but necessary.
Comfort – To comfort is to come alongside someone during a difficult time; to draw on God's comfort. The Holy Spirit is our Comforter! Have the attitude of the 3 Hebrew boys in Book of Daniel: “God can save us! God will save us! But even if God does not save us, we will still trust in Him!”
Holy Spirit has ALL that we need but He comes only when we call (when you had a burst tap, the plumber would come to solve the water problem ONLY if you called). Until we open up and share with people our problem truthfully, people can't be used by God to help/comfort. Recall those times of contradictions in your life, what was helpful to you; what was hurtful? A theological debate is not what a person needs in times of contradictions but a hand of support/comfort - just being there...
Fear of the Lord – This is not a dread of God but a reverence n respect of God. Fear of the Lord = being aware that God is with us ALL the time. Metaphor: Just like driving knowing that there is a police car beside us – we will be in our best driving behavior! Traffic laws are not to stop the fun of driving but to build a boundary of safety for fun to take place. Same with God. So if we know that God is with us all the time, we would behave differently!
The proof of our love of God is obedience to Him. Obedience is the ultimate act of worship. Most Christians are educated beyond their level of obedience. Jesus says, “If you love me, keep my commandments.” He did not say, if you love me, sing/memorise my commandments. He said “keep” i.e. do.
The first church exploded in growth because of these 4 ingredients. They grew healthily and powerfully because there was peace, encouragement, comfort and a fear of the Lord, The same potential is in us to live out peace, encouragement, comfort with a fear of the Lord that we might grow individually and corporately. Our church is a reflection of who we are as the church is made of individuals. Who are you and who can you be? Start observing, adjusting and walking in obedience to God!
Don't mistaken the title as promoting suting to guys haha. Well its to celebrate our cgl promo n its none other than Suting! The video wil tell everything. Suting's fren Gabriel mistaken Suting as Annabel from stage lol guess suting must b super happy to hear tat.
"Suting" spotted on tv haha
"Suting" spotted on stage. Actually really looks some alike sia! Don't u all agree?
Hey guys, first post.. this Saturday was fun :) For those of you guys who were not able to come for cg and FOP, this is a kind-of-a breakdown of what happened.
First up, we had cg.. I don't think anybody met up at Eunos MRT though except Bear and Maria.
We played the game where you have to choose a different action from the other people in the game. Ok, (don't laugh, you guys) i don't really know what's the name of the game but this is what is sounds like to me : "oo - ling - ta - hui". Anyway after several rounds, Alfred did the forfeit. He had to do a marathon: dance the cha-cha, spell out "i love E462" with his butt and sing "twinkle, twinkle little star"- IN 30 SECODS. SuTing said so. Haha. Good thing Alfred was the one who did the forfeit -Alfred17. We had Praise and Worship + Testimony and Offering. Afterwards, we had our fellowship. We rode bus no. 16 to Kallang Leisure Park and watched "The Mummy". We had to buy some food + drinks so we were a bit late. The show was not really a hit with me 'coz i watched the previous 2 (which were better)- i'd rate it 6/10. If not for Jonathan (not Jonathan Hoe), Eevee's brother and a few funny "mummy scenes", i wouldn't have been entertained. However..THANK YOU SUTING FOR BLESSING US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After nearly freezing inside, we finally got out and went outside to queue for FOP. I heard this conversation between Bear and Alexis. Alexis: Why's there such a long queue, ah? Bear (smiling): For FOP.. Alexis (staring wide-eyed in disbelief): WAH? FOR FOP, AH???!!!!
It was really funny to see the reaction on our faces when we saw the queue but we didn't really wait that long..we got 2 rows of seats - A11/T11. We heard the Parachute Band and Reuben Morgan and the Hillsong team. It was amazing to see everyone coming together worshipping God. When the lights were dimmed and the music began to echo throughout the whole stadium, we all lifted up our hands and we sang..
Not caring what anyone else would think, not caring whether the person sitting next to us had enough space to move their hands, not caring about the lyrics (most of which we did not know) or the tune , not caring how we looked like or even whether the camera was going to focus on our faces (it was too dark anyway)..we just worshipped God. And that was awesome.
And so we went home..feeling tired, feeling like we spent too much on the cab ride home, feeling like we all need a good night's rest..but feeling a whole lot more closer to God.
