Old times

God has blessed little Singapore
1) by crowning Hady Mirza as the Asian Idol
2) with 43 gold medals (if i'm not wrong) at the recent 24th SEA games

(1) really caught me by surprise. When I saw it on the cover of The Straits Times, I was like "WHAT?! Hady????" It was totally unexpected, considering what I read another day about Sg Idol judge Ken Lim saying there's not enough support coming from Singapore. But I am nevertheless thrilled and proud to say that Singapore may be small, but she does have very talented citizens =)

43 golds may seem like nothing compared to the mighty Thailand which won i-don't-know-how-many golds, but it's certainly SOMETHING especially since we have a much smaller population and land area as compared to the other south-east Asian nations. Haha. (by the way, KENDRICK LEE ROCKS) The government is spending a lot on developing sporting youth talents. I see a bright future ahead of Singapore =) Man, I AM proud to be a Singaporean!


I came across my sec 2 cell's blog.
At first I thought, we even had a blog in the first place? Wow!
Well that's how pathetic it is. We were called iteens. Something which I don't even remember until I read somewhere inside the one blog posts.
It was last posted by Ivan Ong, one of our cell leaders then.
This is what it contained

Hey!

Honesty when i read your posts and comments i really felt like crying, it may sound silly but i really love you guys(and gals!)... all of you! When i first started i was going through a reall rough patch due to a broken relationship and i was really considering if i should continue serving in teenz. During those early times, i really felt under certain & sometimes i would be really demoralized by the times when during cell discussion nothing would be said. Times like that really made me consider quitting and left me de-moralized but everytime i wanted to quit, God always made something good happen in cell and would remind me about all of you & that he always come through and that things would be even better then i could imagine... and look we are now! So different from how we started!

I'm really thankfully for each one of you.. you've all brightened my life up alot!(and im sure wan hui & joanne would agree.. haha) I think our cell has really changed alot since we've first started & now everyweek i look forward to seeing you guys at service! :)

I've really enjoyed the bondings & great times that we had.. (like waiting in the sun for hours to see hillsongs at FOP?)haha.. continue to grow in the lord & never lose sight of him okie? Draw nearer to him and be his good friend! :) I belive that you guys can do great things for God! Dont be afraid to dream BIG! During our last worship in the chapel i felt God saying that you(your generation of young people) are gonna do great works. You are going into the mission fields & do things unseen & unheard of before... and shake the world ...
I believe with all my heart that you guys will be able to do that, and do great miracles, heal the sick, raise the dead etc.. do things & go to places that we(my generation) have never been before... Amen! So never lose sight of God but instead always run to him when you are in trouble or tempted... lastly...

1 Timothy 4:12
Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.

Continue to shine for God!

Iv@n

And there Ivan said, "You are going into the mission fields & do things unseen & unheard of before... and shake the world ..." which some of us just did this December.
Sigh... I miss those times! I wanna cry already la...
I've kinda forgotten how it was like back then when we were in P6, sec 1 and sec 2.
I'm getting old! If that's the case, cell leaders are growing oldER! lol..
Those were the days...
