25 August 2012 Another Blessed Day

Yo, long time haven't make a post :) I have some urgent things need to settle down, what are those? I will let you know some time in the future :)

This post will be a bit longer, so if you really want to read, perhaps you can get some coffee (in case it really boring make you fall asleep haha).

Today was starting with another Holy War (Rage of Bahamut that currently I play), continue with beating Diablo III haha until 12.00pm. But again, perhaps I repeated the same mistake, I wrongly calculate my time, thus i was late for Intercede session at 2pm. What is Intercede session? It is a prayer meet, basically only few people, to pray for our community needs, can be related to the sermon topics, but can be different depends how Holy Spirit lead you to pray for other things. The session normally about 15 minutes, could be longer, and I found myself interested to join another Intercede session ^_^ I will inform the PIC hehe

At 3.30pm we start our service by praise and worship. Here I experienced another wonderful Praise and Worship. I enjoyed the Praise, I do hope it will be longer, every time during Praise time, I hope we could sing Praise song a bit longer, like what I experienced in Cambodia 2010. There we praise the Lord, same song like today Praise, The Time Has Come, but over there, the song last about 15 minutes, and everyone is jumping - enjoying the Praise time. Don't worry, I have another mission to bring people to jump while praising, not only in Church Conference, but we also could make the same atmosphere wherever and whenever we are when are praising the Lord. Amen ^_^

Then sermon is about Giving. Though Mike give us a homework to count how many blessing we have receive from God during this week, but I have better homework for myself (or maybe the reader as well if interested ^_^). Instead of counting God blessing upon us, why don't we count how many people we have blessed this week? The value is, no matter God blessed us or not, we are still have to be a blessing to the people surround us, not because God bless us then we bless people (though God always be the one who bless us, but some time we take it for granted thus we don't see God blessing). Take time to ponder in your heart, do I seek the reward first or do I seek people happiness? ^_^ I believe God blessing upon us is uncountable, and we need to have faith that God always blessing us, thus believing with that FAITH, we could be a bless to people.

For dinner, we mixed around from different LG. Amazingly, we have a fruitful time some my friends are sharing about their value. But please pardon me, I dislike being asked anything about relationship, for me, to be honest, this is a boring repeated question that normally being asked around every 4-6 months. I prefer being ask for a case, so we can discuss from our individual perspective, perhaps something like, "what do you think about .. if ..". To summarize our discussion session, I believe the reader knows about this, but I will just saying again, perhaps some of you don't know. Relationship is not just filling each other weakness, but 1 + 1 could be more than 2, relationship is to support each other growth into better person. And if you are still curious what sort of girls I'm looking for, it's all about support and care. Normally i will testing by compatibility first, along the way, I will see whether if she cares for me or not, this opinion could argue, some people will say, "how to care if not into relationship", but for me, if you don't care about me, I cannot even think about relationship, because I see Relationship as a prepration stage for Marriage. But of course "Sparks" also have some part to consider.

However, we should not worry about our relationship, we are SINGLE for a PURPOSE ^_^ God created us, God gives us life, everything is unto God, so I believe God also have plan for our life partner, let's not focus on this topic instead, we should focus what we could do in God Kingdom ^_^ what we can contibute in God Kingdom ^_^ what we can serve in God Kingdom ^_^ subsequently, God will reveal the person to us, our destined life partner. Let us put this problem to God, we should not worry about this problem, this is God problem ^_^ (This statement is one of the point from Peter Truong Ministry on 21 August 2012)

God Bless ^_^

SuperNatural Conference 2012

At last i have time to share about SuperNatural Conference 2012 (19-20 May), luckily D3 server down so have spare time haha. For this conference, I have setup 3 expectations, Disciple Maker - Life partner - and Guitarist in LG, however what God revealed to me were different things or rather His priority is different than mine haha.

More less this year conference, focus more on teaching, honestly a bit boring, i struggled to keep awake, even with eating candy, still the dreamland is tempting than stay awake haha, but in the middle of the teaching in Session 2, afternoon session, God showed me a glimpse of picture about LG new grouping. It was like a pie chart, divide into 3 equally, and I will be served in 1 piece and there is potential for the group that I joined in to grow BIG.

Another encounter would be first session on the second day. Pastor Rick Steward talked about to reach out there instead of enjoying with our small community. From what I see, it's correct, people tendency feel comfortable then don't want to leave comfort zone, focusing more into bonding with brothers and sisters, but forgetting that we supposed to reach out. I, myself, really wants to reach out, to challenge pre-believer about what is the truth about Jesus, but still facing struggle with the courage, but I will not give up, this is the challenge that I accepted as Jesus disciple.

Last thing about SuperNatural Praise and Worship. On Sunday night, I felt like the floor downstairs (we sat at 1-2 levels higher than the base floor), seems like so awesome, so I just went down, praising and worshiping God. My Spirit was so itchy to jump for God, as we always sat at upper levels for 2 days, barely can jump until my heart content. And thanks God also, my LG also feel the same ^_^ My last word, keep your passion burning for God, let the Spirit guide you, if you want to jump, just jump, don't be shy, you are jumping because of God.

God Bless ^_^

Weekly verse

Around 4-5 weeks ago, I have been challenged by my shepherd, to send weekly daily verse to my LG Group, BeAT.

The first excuse I throw out, was because I did my devotion from OT, so it's kind in orderly verse, because he told me to send SMS of what i have done in my devotion. But again, I still accept it knowing nothing what verse to send to the group.

Sometimes I sent what verse that been spoken to me during the previous week, kind of sharing with the group the week after it, of course I cannot share before I heard it, not doing prophecy here :p

Sometimes I did not encounter any verse, I was blank in Monday morning, just after my devotion, then I wonder what verse should I shared, at that time, I let Holy Spirit spoke to me, I read some verses until Holy Spirit notify me that this is the verse. So I did sent it ^_^

I pray that I will always faithfully doing this weekly verse, not because I was challenged, not because I want to heard good reply from my group, but I want to share the Words that being spoken to me to my group, to bless them as each of them start the new working day in the week, Monday. I hope that the Words will enlighten their mood, their attitude and most important their spiritual life to always help them in whatever situation they might encounter during the week ^_^

God Bless

Todays Devotion

Woo I admit, it's very difficult to spare time to read Connect daily, I myself have my own devotion time, which is reading Old Testament 1 chapter/day, so in order not to crash each other, I set my Connect devotion at night ^_^ but yeah, there will be a miss, for example, yesterday I fall asleep before my Connect devotion (forgot about it >_<), so have to make up for it :)

And for you readers, who are interested to have devotion together, I would like to have devotion together also, I want to hear other people thought also hehe so let me know if you are interested to have devotion together ok, 3-4 people are good numbers ^_^

Oh there are interesting statement about disciple during sermon 24 March 2012, here what it says
Understanding bible but without application : a smart sinner
Apply bible value without understand what it is : a saint superficial
Apply bible value and understand it : growth + revival
No application and understanding : backsliding

Let us apply bible value and understand the value behind it, so we can grow mature in spiritual life, not only mature in real life, but also mature in spiritual life, by Reading - Sharing - Applying the Words of God daily.



God Bless

Today's Devotion Joshua 1:6-9

So continue from yesterday, as I will do it daily. In each day, there will be 3 questions to be chosen, but it's not necessary to answer all of them, so I choose which one I have encountered with God ^_^

Reflect on the authority God has placed upon your life and how you 're using that authority to bless those around you?

During LG prayer meet last week, I felt that GOD wants me to pray for my LG, but at that time I felt discouraged, I tried to gather my courage to speak out and I keep praying in Spirit, but in the end, I still discouraged. Yet, I believe GOD never leave me, He never forsaken me. GOD I pray that if the next chance coming up, give me courage and strength to pray out loud for my LG and be a blessing for my LG. Thank you GOD ^_^

Just now I mentioned GOD never leave me correct? Today, I encountered another powerful event with GOD in my office. Today is my review, err nothing related with salary, I prefer to know what my progress so far after last review, so here is the review. My boss was very patience with me, he explained what feedback he has received from my other colleagues, it's about my social skill, my technical skill, he quite assured that although there are still some rooms for improvement, but my technical skill is better than last year.

So back to my social skill, if you know me, perhaps you will say that I'm not very talkative person, Sugix is nice, Sugix is very spiritied, etc, but I tell you, in office, what you will is not me, but another me. In office, I'm easily agitated in communication, thus almost all of the time I made a hole in other person and I don't like to answer query from my colleagues including my PM. Surprised isn't it? Well, but my colleagues do feedback to my boss that outside work, Sugi is nice person, just when in working environment, Sugi become another person, difficult to approach, its like you step in my area, then prepare to get shot :)

So which one is the real Sugix? The one that you see every LG (3 hours) + service (3 hours) + activity (6hours), compare with my working state which is 40 hours/week.. hahahaha

To be honest, actually I'm aware about it, but you might ask me then why you still doing it? I don't have answer for that also, I did tried to control my emotion but no matter how hard I tried, there will be an outrage. But today is special, I don't know, it's like GOD use my boss to specially talk to me, soon after the review, I suddenly changed, I become more patience, I could explain more to my colleagues, normally I will shout bla bla bla. Another mystery also happen, my PM asks me to change code, normally I will shout "hah? why change again? that one is difficult, it won't be finish by today" (with irrating face), but today I was listening to my PM explanation, and do it without any COMPLAINT, wow that was a miracle.

Another feedback from my boss is to reduce to open facebook, and those similar to that one. Actually I kind not addicted to it, but it's I the one who choose to open it. I pray that God will empower me with Spirit of self-control, so I be better person in office and be a guidance for my juniors ^_^

Otw to my home, I asked God, am I capable to switch my working state with the real me that nice person, GOD says as long as you hold on My Way, you should be able. Back then during interview, my boss asked me, are able to change your working state, I answered hmm slowly. But in the end, GOD is the one who switched my working state ^_^ Praise God.

It seems I have surrendered my technical skill to God long time ago, but I still hold my social skill in office with my way, not with God's Way. I pray that God will empower with the Spirit of love & patience so I can build better relationship with my colleagues.

Galatian 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

God Bless

Today's Devotion 28 Mar 2012 (Joshua 1:1-5)

As our LG started to read Connect today, I want to share with you, readers, about it.


There is an interesting question, "how do you overcome the overwhelming feelings that sometimes come when going on a mission trip?"

Back then in 2010, when I was a new believer to join Cambodia Mission Trip, I feel hesitated on myself for the first time, partly that I eager to join mission trip but the another me was no confident to go, some more I know nothing about Mission Trip. But in the end, I decided to go, why? Don't know I just do it rather than worrying. So even for now, sometimes I still hesitated about task being assigned by God, even small task, let say this morning, I saw a man, asking direction where to go Tanjong Pagar Complex, he is asking the person in front of me, well I happen heard what he had asked and know where it is, but the funny thing is, instead of helping him, I began to think should I tell him or leave him alone? But deep inside my heart, I know I should tell him, so I just do it.

So if I wonder whether I should do or not, but in fact i know that it's the right thing to do, I will do it ^_^

Matthew 6:33
33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

God Bless

Pause Moment

Today was very long day for me haha..

Starting from lunch, I planned to buy Diablo III preorder card for my colleague, but it turned out it was raining at Bugis at that time, during lunch time >_< too bad, no choice have to back to office.

Then we have deployment around 7pm, woo the migration wasn't a success at the first time, I never encounter this kind of error. Tried anything but no result, then we restored the database. After that, began fixing there and there, until 11pm, I said to my PM, "I'm going home, this area by rights not me to fix".

On my way to Tanjong Pagar MRT, i started to think what should I do, should I continue work from home? or just leave it there for tomorrow morning? Small section in my heart says that I should fix it, and yeah its won haha, so instead of taking MRT, i took cab.

Then I somehow encountered very relaxing moment, I sat down inside the cab, listening a music (see below), looking to outside, though most of them were a building, then somehow I was enjoying it. While looking to outside, I began to smile, all the fatigues due to the stress from work are gone.

So here I am, finished fixing the bugs and going to sleep hehe. Nitez readers ^_^

Here is the song that I listening currently, my favorite song from Material Queen.
(Actually I didn't really know what the meaning of the song, i just go with the flow of this song haha, kind like it ^_^)

God Bless.

Serving is a privilege

Back then, when I was asked to be an usher, 2 years ago, I was kind of disappointed, to be honest, I didn't like usher before. I was more interested in drum, yet I keep doing it haha, strange isn't it ^_^

Now, I'm enjoying serving in as an usher, for me, to greet people at the door and be a door opener are the most enjoyable moment during serving in God Kingdom. I want to give Joy for the people who spend their time to come to hear God Words ^_^

During today's worship, God shows me an image, it's a very big white castle, with people coming in, and there are some waiter & waitress serving the guests. Ushering also like that, usher open the door, serve God people as usher serving in God Kingdom, and be a blessed for those come to God Kingdom.

And doesn't matter what position I'm when serving in God Kingdom, it's all the same in God's Eyes, what He wants to look is my heart during serving, not what position I'm in ^_^ Praise God.

Money isn't everything

I got the title from a movie that i just watched 2 hours ago and feeling to share what i have in mind regarding my PR and stuff.

Well.. i start with the problem first, which is my company doesn't want to pay my CPF portion, instead, it will deduct from my salary on behalf of company. It's my company policy that paying CPF is another cost for company. And all my colleagues, who are PR, also receive the same treatment. Some my friends feel this situation is strange, some tells me to find new job, but in the end I decided not to take PR and stay with EP.

Why? The very first reason is why I should apply PR?

Some saying to easier find a job, but isn't it God who will provide me with the job, not the PR? And I believe that this job was provided by God for me. Let me share my working experience, during my first year working in this company, I admitted that I was struggled with the salary, all I do was to work so that I can get higher increment later on, and my mind was full with it. In the end, my project was a messed up, every thing I did always produce another bug, I remember that time my shepherd encouraged me that it's normal, it's always like that. But deep inside my heart, it felt that it is my fault that caused the 8months project failed. Yet, I didn't give up, nor God ^_^

Starting new year, I got new project, which is even bigger than my previous project, God's way always different from what we thought haha, but this new project I asked God to help me to get through with it. At the end, I successfully to LIVE the website, praise GOD ^_^

My current salary is blessing from God, my bonus is also blessing from God ^_^ so I don't bother with it nowadays, if God wants to give me more, I accept and I will give more back to God as well :) I might not have a lot of money than the others, but I do have FAITH in HIM, I could live without my current job, but I'm not sure whether I can live without HIM taking care for me.

And I already comfy with my current job, I don't have to worry about what if bla bla bla, In fact, I'm now don't even have worry at all for my job, I surrender it to God alone to decide for me ^_^ at the end of the day, I won't worry about what should I do tomorrow in office, but instead I'm worrying what I can do more to glorify HIS kingdom.

Psalm 62:5-8

5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
   my hope comes from him.
6 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
   he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
7 My salvation and my honor depend on God[a];
   he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
8 Trust in him at all times, you people;
   pour out your hearts to him,
   for God is our refuge.

God Bless

Still

I'm on FIRE now haha, excited for our EASTER CAMP. Yes O Lord, I believe that there will be some converts and some brothers-sisters who will make serious commitment to walk with You, Jesus, through water bapt ^_^ Praise God.

There is this song happen when I searched for yesterday worship songs, Still. Let me share a testimony about this song ^_^ I remembered the first time I sang this song was around December 2009. Back then, I were with CG Adonai 1, Ufong is the CL. It was on Wednesday, It was happen on Pei Jia's home, back then it's at 91 Lorong 4 Toa Payoh #12-05 (perhaps the unit number might wrong). I had to OT due to the my project deadline, but what surprised me, all my CG members were waiting for me before start CG. Then we sang this song, and until now the memories are still here in my brain and heart ^_^

What I want to share is, there are a lot of precious moments for me and God only, its strengthen my inner side of the deep of my heart.



God Bless

Genting Trip 9-11 April 2012

Here is my Genting Trip, not much activity though but the most memorable would be boardgame session haha, we played and laughed until 3AM each day haha. This although common activity, but it's very rare opportunity to have fun playing boardgame with my colleagues :D time is precious, either you spend it to see new things or build bonding with just simple activity ^_^

The travelling time very very long, we set off around 7AM from Golden Mile (near Nicole Highway MRT), bla bla to make it short, we arrived at Genting around 3.30PM, wow haha then waiting for check-in, then we have buffet dinner, cost each of us RM58. During this dinner, I used my tablet to play chess against my colleagues haha, well it turned out that my tablet is more useful than I think ^_^

Photos of female colleagues during waiting for check-in. From left, May - Finance, Leah - QA, Anna - Web Support, Angelia - PM, Shuqin - Designer


Well after dinner, time to do the working haha yes, you heard me correct, although it supposed to be holiday trip, but my daily monitoring still continue, together with my engineer. My PM rent a modem for us to connect to production server. In the end, my module doesn't work as expected, so i have to modify on the spot to blast 3k emails, otherwise my boss will hunt us if there is no blasting. At this time, i don't have any idea what's wrong with my code, it works though in our office server.

The second day, breakfast buffet, this one is part of the package, we got 2 breakfast buffet ticket, as always. Breakfast... what i ate only sausage hahaha too bad i didn't take any photo >_< oh well, after breakfast, i went back to my room to take shower, then I was left behind with my colleagues, aww too bad, ok lah, then I spent time walking around the plaza, looking for chocolate that my brother asked me to buy. I also played the archery, RM9 for 12 arrows, not real arrows though, but the bow is almost real, heavy, the first couple shots you will not feel the weight, but starts from 7th shots, you will feel how heavy it is as the fatigue is coming, and somehow I cannot aim correctly -_- dunno what's wrong.

Second day evening, we have bowling session with my colleagues, ordinary bowling session, just the second game was happen after 6PM, so they turned off the light, only left with the LED around the pin, and dim lights surround us. I did try some techniques (from Bowling King, manga) haha, but didn't work, too much pressure in my arm, and it's the first time i threw the ball outside the ring haha, very high (due to the impact that I tried to use high back swing). After bowling, again another buffet, paid by company, HOTSPOT haha, not much variety though, just enjoying the food.

Oh here i encounter another powerful session with God, when I took night shower, God spoke to me about the error that happen in my module, and at once I realized "oh yeah, that's true", i even didn't debug my code, but suddenly the solution is come out in my head, how? Of course, it was God who gave me the solution ^_^


Here the photo of all male colleagues before dinner, from the left, 2 PM, Benny - Francis, Roger - Developer, Mark - Engineer, Rajesh - Developer, Bjay - Engineer and his son, Aung - Thein - William - Developer. 


Third day breakfast, i also ate sausages haha, here is the photo :p

Another photo before we left Genting :D


So that's the story haha, we arrived back at Golden Mile around 7.30PM. When I arrived back at my home, I connected to production server, and true enough what God has said during the second day night shower is what happening on my module. In fact, this whole system might be developed by me, but again it was God who guided me so that I managed to LIVE this whole website ^_^ Praise God.

God Bless ^_^

I Go Mission


Today (13/03/2012) i joined "I Go Mission" at Textile Connect 806. It started with worship session then little discussion with small group, discussing about what do you think about Chapter 5. What.. Chapter 5? Yup it's from paper that was distributed on last gathering, i just received few minutes before the gathering started, so total i only read 4 pages haha. But from these 4 pages, its very interesting, it talks about the tentmaker who struggle to tell the truth why he stays on undeveloped country while he was coming from rich country with stable job and life. I found out that I will be on the same boots as him as for I am now haha. So what's the solution? Well please continue to read on ^_^

After little discussion, the time given to Pastor Jeff to tell us what is happening now. One thing that he said that "There is no end for preparation" doesn't matter how much time we spent for our preparation, it will never completed. So he challenged us to set deadline for our preparation, not just "one day" or "next 10 years", but set achievable date (like what we do in our resolution - SMART). By doing so, we have urgency to try to complete the plan, at least we know what we are we doing.

Then Q&A time.

One brother asked about this, then how we could know whether we are ready or not? First is self assessment, we need to be able to identify our readiness, by what? by our conviction, we go to plant church is by our conviction, not because our shepherd told us to go, in the end, there will be only God and ourselves out there to do the work :) Second, ask someone who knows us well, not someone who hate us so that person will tell us to go, nor our family/close friend who prevent us to go because they will miss us, but someone who loves our God and HIS Kingdom.

Matthew 28:18-20
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

God Bless ^_^

Reflection

Yo, I'm back from CNY holiday ^_^ As promised, I will share what I have achieved / grown from last year. Please bear with me for a little while, this will be very long story.

There was a service around January 2011, that mentioned about God Blessing. It taught me that we have to let go God Blessing from previous year in order to receive fully blessing from God for that year, so I really been blessed by God through year 2011.

In middle January 2011, I received company annual bonus, which I'm sure that I would not get it, since the my project in 2010 was cancelled due to my silly mistakes. But again, I keep believing in God that God will do something in my life, thus this is the first blessing God gave to me for 2011. A week after that, I found out that my indo colleague has resigned and his last date will be in the middle of February. That time, I could not hold my anger, I shouted to my 2 PM(s) and 2 boss(s) - through email, because there is another project was coming which is bigger than the project in 2010, and it supposed to be developed by my colleague and me. I felt that it was very ridiculous for me alone develop the project, yet God never leave me alone, and I never have in mind to resign my job, although all old colleagues have resigned (various reasons mainly because of boss attitude), why? Because I believe that God has purpose for my through this job, and I still believing it until now ^_^

Then, my journey as sole developer for this project started, this project, EnterpriseOne, was divided into 3 phases. The first phase is about creating newsletter - the second is about building the website itself - the third phase is about user membership (which will be started in next month, February 2012). I managed to finish the first phase around April, praise the Lord ^_^ Until this time, I cannot count how many blessing I have received haha

But what about my spiritual life from January to April? I didn't remember exactly when it's happening, but my CG was ADONAI 1, then there was a restructuring, and the name changed into URIEL 1. If I remembered it correctly, URIEL 1 only stayed for 5 - 6 months (since November 2010) then another restructuring happen again that restructured all CGs into LGs, from 10 CGs (ADONAI 1-2-3, URIEL 1-2-3, SHINE 1-2-3, HIM), became 4 LGs (Antioch, BeAT, Joy, SIA). It was announced at Easter Camp 2011, actually the camp itself was made so that each person could adapt with the new form of LG (every person has been assigned to each dormitory that represent the LG itself).

First Summary, I have achieved some confident that I could made a partial of the project LIVE. And through the restructuring  from ADONAI to URIEL, I built new relationship with URIEL people ^_^ as you know that I joined HOPE Church around January 2010, yet I seldom mingle around with people, guess it because of my characteristics.

Now, moving on to the second phase of the year, both for LG and my project. Each of them has its own issues. For my project, I need to build a module that could have different behavior, I use vehicle for example. Let's say, I have a vehicle (just a thing that could move and have wheels considered vehicle). Then I need to transform this vehicle into motor/bicycle/etc, which even my previous indo colleague (the one I mentioned above), never done before. But somehow, I dunno how I could found the article that taught me how to start. Really, I believe it was God who gave me all the solutions to finish the module, praise the Lord again ^_^ it took the whole team to finish the second phase around 6 months :)

The new LG is also difficult to deal with, as the reader might not know, but for me, I'm easier to relate with guy instead of girl. And since the new formed LG consist of guys and girls in equal number, I used this opportunity to relate with the sisters. It's not easy, from May until now, I still try to build the friendship with all LG members, everyone is unique :)

Second Summary, I have achieved to make LIVE a fully website, thanks to GOD ^_^ I also able to play inline skates and guitar last year :) for my spiritual family still on the process building the friendship, trouble always there but I believe and I always believe since the beginning that God always with me in whatever situation.

God Bless ^_^

Batam Trip 1 Jan - 2 Jan 2012

Yo this is my first trip this year with my fellow BeATer(s) ^_^ Tell you something funny, i went to Batam without exchanging any IDR beforehand haha. I was hoping that I could pay it with SGD hehe. Before I continue the story, let's take step back into my preparation time for Batam trip hehe.

On 31st Dec, I had countdown with some fellow BeATer(s) at Esplanade Park, between City Hall and Esplanade, the first time i join the crowd haha. Here is the snapshot what was happening after the end of the countdown..



If you zoom the crowd pictures, you will see small small circle very var near the yellow light, could you imagine how many people here at Esplanade? haha. On the way back to City Hall MRT, very crowded, i need to force my way into the MRT, otherwise will not get any chance.

Arrived at home around 1.30AM, then start to prepare for Batam haha crazy right ^_^ in the process of preparation I also managed to throw away unwanted things, really still got enough time to clean up haha. Slept at 3.30AM, woke up at 6.30AM, wow only 3 hours sleep, then rushed to harbourfront, inside the ferry, i slept haha too tired.

Then arrived at Batam, we went to Harris Resort, settle the return tickets etc, time for lunch. Now here is the funny things, everyone agreed to give 200k IDR to ufong to cover all the cost for that day (1st Jan). But i don't have that much!! haha silly right? 200k IDR is around SGD30.. omg haha..

After lunch, we went to GoKart. Here is the picture of myself haha i don't want to post other people picture here :p

After that, we went back to hotel for check-in, took a break, then went to play water sports. Banana boat, yeah. Actually I kind of scared playing this one after heard about it will flipped in the middle of the sea.. flipped so everyone above it will fall down to the sea.. i have bad experience with water haha see this. But I decided to take the challenge haha after all, i wore the safety jacket. So we started, our group was Damon - Sherly - Me - Handono. Damon take care Sherly, while Handono take care myself. When the boat flipped, I kind of scared.. everything was green, I closed my eyes, and I realized i was floating in the water. I grabbed Handono, swam to the boat. I tried to climb the boat, but it lost its balance in the middle while i tried to climb (I didn't know that someone must hold the other side). I fall down again haha with the boat above me, lucky i could get out of it haha. Afterwards, not much event, we just went back to the harbor. Here are the some pictures.

After that, we played a bit in swimming pool just having fun before dinner time. Dinner not so special, just have a group of people playing 1-2 songs for us and pizzas for our dinner. After dinner, we went upstairs for sharing. It took about 4 hours, then all of us tired already, went back to our room to rest hihi.

The next day breakfast was so great, i love the sausages and the baked potato, see below hahaha


At noon, all of us went to Nagoya Hills, shopping around bla bla. Rushed back to Harris Resort for our belongings then rushed to the ferry. And here, we have arrived back to Singapore safely. Thanks God ^_^

Note:
This trip Sugix is a bit quite, so there is not much interesting story about Sugix haha. Give time for other people to make their story :p

Affirmation

Yo folks, sorry for being inactive haha, kind of busy for Xmas - New Year - Holiday at Batam ^_^

Since Christmas Service on 24th December, somehow i always remember about Happiness. Here is a video about Happiness.

Speaking about happiness, I remembered this verse, Matthew 6:21 "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also". Thing to ponder, what is my happiness? I found out when obeying HIS command, i found my happiness, of course i still struggle with my OBEDIENCE, this thing will be one of my resolution this year ^_^

Then the week after, New Year Service came out with this movie, Validation.

There are 3 things I got from this movie:
  1. Affirmation can bring happiness to other people.
  2. Affirmation can bring indirect happiness to other people.
From this service, I pondered that myself lacks of affirmation to other people, so I need to start the habit to affirm others, not only for special moment, but anytime i can affirm other people. But don't take people affirmation for granted :) So when I cross reference this movie (Validation) with the Happiness movie, I got another point which is "Affirmation can bring happiness to myself". When people happy, I also happy ^_^ But I dislike an affirmation that happen only for specific occasion, I prefer affirming in not specific occasion, it's not I have to, but it's about I should.

Conclusion, it's not compulsory to affirm people, but I should have the habit to affirm people and be stingy for criticism.

God Bless ^_^
