梁文音 - 那雙看不見的手

spotted 梁文音 in the choir?

虽不见你，触不到你，
但是我知，你正在对我低语
喔！主耶稣，
喔！主耶稣，
我深知道你一直就在这里。
是你的手，钉痕的手，
重新抚慰，我那破碎的心田。
是您声音，温柔话语
再度填满我，心灵中的饥渴。

faith is not an easy lesson to learn..
但.. 深信主一定会带领...

On Whose Terms? (Our Daily Journey)

Read: Jonah 2:1-10

Let’s consider a couple of hit songs from country singer Carrie Underwood. In “Jesus, Take the Wheel,” she sings about a young mother whose car is sliding on an icy road, and just as she is about to crash she cries out for Jesus to save her. “Jesus, take the wheel,” she sings, “take it from my hands ’cause I can’t do this on my own.”

In “Before He Cheats,” Underwood sings the lyrics of a scorned woman and what she did to her unfaithful boyfriend. While he was off romancing another woman, she was demolishing his car, slashing its tires and leather seats, scratching the paint on its doors, and smashing its headlights with a baseball bat. “Maybe next time,” she sings, “he’ll think before he cheats.”

Both songs resonate with people. Who hasn’t cried out to God in desperation, and who hasn’t plotted revenge on those who have hurt us? And yet it seems that we want to have it both ways. Why do we sing “Jesus, take the wheel” but not “Jesus, take the bat”?

We are too much like Jonah. He begged God to take the wheel of his life when he was swallowed by a huge fish (2:1), but he also wanted to hold on to the bat and take a few swings at his enemies in Nineveh. When they repented and God relented, Jonah angrily complained to God, “Didn’t I say before I left home that You would do this, Lord? . . . You are eager to turn back from destroying people. Just kill me now, Lord!” (Jonah 4:2-3).

Likewise, we want God’s help, but on our terms. We want God to forgive and rescue us, but we reserve the right to “smash the headlights” of those who have sinned against us.

God won’t be played. If you have given Him the wheel of your life, hand over the bat.

What is the difference between standing up for yourself and sinfully seeking vengeance? How can you tell if you’re fighting for justice or simply being selfish?

Maru Maru !! =''=

in love with cats! or in love with maru!
i can watch the videos for hrs.. haa...

Macau Hk Trip (part 2)

hey.. yeh i know i'm taking too long to update this... hahaha..
but anyway, other then sight seeing.. the other main purpose of the trip.. is eating!
we actually have a list of must try food from samuel n mi sis !
of cos we didn't try all of them.. in fact we missed alot of them.. haaa

went to hunt for this 大利來記咖啡室 for their pork bun.. was told that the fresh baked bun will be out of the oven at 3pm.. better to be there early to queue for it..
we stop at the wrong bus stop again! n searched for it for a while...
reached at ard 230 or so.. for a tues afternoon, it was v crowded already!


notice the queue behind?


the famous pork chop with fresh baked bun

after trying it... i think it's kinda over rated lah.. haaahaa..
maybe i dun like chewy buns.. the pork is nice thou..


ahmund kua zhang pose...

after that we went searching for dessert- durian ice-cream, which is on the list..
ordered durian ice-cream n a mango pudding.. v nice! it was too good that we forgot to take picture of it... hahaaa

other then the food on the list.. we couldn't resist the curry-mix-"vegetable" (including yu dan n pork skin) which can be found in macau too!... actually the macau curry-mix seems more hygienic then in hk.. becos we chose the vegetables from a fridge (like the ice-cream fridge in sg).. yeh.. that's y it became our dinner for one of the days..
forgot to take picture b4 we eat again.. hahaa.. this is the after pic.. shoik eh..


big pack of curry-mix

near our hotel, we passby this place for breakfast quite a few times.. decided to go in n try..
that morning, it was packed with students! shared table with 2 students.. checked out what they ordered.. b4 we did.. haa


dou hua n you tiao (they call it za min)


pi dan congee n salty dumpling

you have to try the you tiao + congee! v nice. =D
i have a soft spot for glutinous rice... so ordered the rice dumpling .. should have ordered the sweet one! salted one taste a little too salty! haa


this is the stall! cheap n gd food =)

at hk.. we went hunting for this mak's noodle at central for it's wantan mee (with prawn+meat dumplings).. heard abt it's good review.. turn out to be a big disappointment! haa.. or should i say a small disappointment.. for it's size!


looking good =)

for SG$5 it is a v small bowl! .. haa.. ok size aside.. it tasted gd lah.. =P
but comparing to the other random tea house we went into... see the difference!


wantan mees comparison ! the white radish on the right is vv nice!


the wantan is almost 3/4 of mi hand.. containing at least 3 prawns inside!


this is the random "tea house" we went to.. i guess it's well known for the locals.. @ mong kok..


toast!

went back to mido cafe again.. love the toast there.. sg should have this kinda toast man!
and of cos the everywhere.. xu liu shan.. mango n more mango! eat until... dun think we can take any more mangos for the next N-months! haa


mix mango+coconut+small glutinous balls


mango n more mango..!

Macau Hk Trip (part 1)

overall it was a nice n "exciting" trip.. gd to get away from sg for a while =)
we call ourselves the recce team! haaa..
cos we are the first of the 3 "team" to go... =D
now the 2nd team is back.. the 3rd team is at macau now!! hohoho..
next time we should juz go together lah.. haa

stayed at Ole London hotel at macau.. i think for a 2 star hotel, it was great! free internet! clean rm, quite gd location.. n cheap =) but we took some time to look for the hotel thou.. -_-! i think the internet should have more detailed info on how to walk to the hotel from the bus stop! haa


macau tower - taken from the bus

here goes, take bus 26 from the airport.. (or 3A from the ferry terminal).. the journey is about 30mins plus minus.. stop at Yuet Tung Peir (take note of Macau Masters Hotel on the left) after alighting.. do not go straight! turn 180deg... and cross the nearest zebra crossing.. u will see a playground/park at the opposite side.. Ole London is just at the end of the stretch of houses/building! =DDDD

the hotel is 5mins walk away from Macau's historic Senado Square..


road sign

Perfect Suffering (Our Daily Journey)

Read : Hebrews 2:9-18

Prosperity preachers don’t last long in countries where there is persecution. They usually just leave.” That quote by Ajith Fernando from his book The Call to Joy and Pain captures two realities of the Christian faith: (1) Jesus suffered; (2) those who believe in Him will suffer too.

Unlike “health and wealth” false teachers, Jesus taught that suffering was something God uses for our good. In Hebrews 2:10, the writer states that Jesus became “through His suffering, a perfect leader.” This doesn’t mean that Jesus wasn’t already perfect, for He is God the Son. It does point out, however, that death allowed Him to intimately know the final stage of human experience—giving Him an even more perfect ability to identify with our struggles (5:8).

The apostle Paul experienced the perfecting process of pain. He prayed three times for God to remove something that was tormenting him. But God allowed it to persist, saying, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9). Paul’s response? “That’s why I take pleasure in . . . [suffering] for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong” (v.10).

Jesus is able to identify with us and help us because of the hardships He endured. “Since He Himself has gone through suffering and testing, He is able to help us when we are being tested” (Hebrews 2:18). He “understands our weaknesses, for He faced all of the same testings we do” (4:15).

Are you experiencing suffering? Don’t fight against it as one who has no hope. Don’t believe the lies of false teachers who wrongly say, “You simply need more faith to overcome your struggles.”

Instead, embrace your suffering as a gift from God—being used to perfect you and your faith in Him (12:2).


What is God teaching you through your suffering? How can you experience joy and victory even as you’re going through hard times?

wanted to update some stuffs.... but my mum juz spoil the mood..... maybe later..
so irritated..........................! -_-!

愛像一首歌~蔡琴

didn't know she is a christian.. inspiring character.. =)

70年代後期以民歌歌手的身分進入演藝圈。初出道時蔡琴被社會大眾認為其外貌並不出色 ，但是她的嗓音低沉溫柔，極具有特色。曾經演唱《讀你》、《恰似你的溫柔》、《最後一 夜》、《你的眼神》等歌曲都曾風靡一時，而有「絲絨歌后」之美稱。

自 1998年起，蔡琴與果陀劇場合作而踏入歌舞劇領域，演出《天使不夜城》，該劇並曾至中國大陸巡演。2003年演出改編自《茶花女》的歌舞劇《情盡夜上海》，在該劇中她演唱多首國語老歌。2005年她演出另一齣改編自電影《修女也瘋狂》的歌舞劇《跑路天 使》，再度贏得觀眾喜愛。
近年來蔡琴在巡迴演唱會上更有亮眼的成績。無論大陸、香港、台灣，甚至是歐美國家，無 不開出紅盤。
「蔡琴」不只是一位唱紅無數經典、紅遍華人世界的國寶級女歌手，「蔡琴」更儼然成為一個音樂品牌，只要推出音樂作品必屬佳作，情感流露細緻深刻，製作嚴謹的音樂品質更是華語樂壇絕無僅有讓發燒友都讚嘆！2009年，蔡琴帶來了全新力作「愛像一首歌」，熟悉的蔡琴與全新的蔡琴同時在這張力作中將「音樂」、將「愛」淋漓盡致傳達，再次讓全華人 聽出耳油。
如果愛像一首歌，那必定是蔡琴的歌。

He Is Enough (Daily Bread)

READ: Matthew 14:22-33

Sometimes we are overwhelmed by life. The crushing waves of disappointment, endless debt, debilitating illness, or trouble with people can cause hopelessness, depression, or despair. It happened to Jesus’ disciples. And it has happened to me.

Three statements by the Lord beginning with the words “It is . . .” offer us comfort, reassurance, and hope that Jesus is enough. The first is in Matthew 4 and is repeated three times: “It is written” (vv.4,7,10). In responding to the three temptations of Satan, Jesus gave us proof enough that the Word of God is true and overcomes the most powerful forms of temptation and pressure.

The second statement, “It is I” (Matt. 14:27), was spoken when Jesus told His terrified disciples that He Himself was presence enough to stop the howling storm and calm the raging seas.

Jesus spoke the third “It is” from the cross: “It is finished!” (John 19:30). He assured us that His death was provision enough to pay the debt for our sins and set us free.

Whatever our circumstances, Jesus is present with His love, compassion, and grace. He is proof, presence, and provision enough to carry us safely through. — David C. Egner

When trials overwhelm our souls
And tempt us to despair,
We need to reach out to the Lord
And trust His tender care. —Sper

God’s love does not keep us from trials; it helps us get through them.

The Lord Provides..

You're the Lord of the music, the Lord of the children.
The Lord of you and me.

Grace and Gratitude

I've been doing daily bread for quite some time with "Our Daily Journey"
think it's really helpful... one of the interesting article read last week to share...

-- Taken from Our Daily Journey --

Read - Titus 2:11-14
¹¹For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. ¹²It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, ¹³while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, ¹⁴who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.


Martin Luther wanted to quit. His congregation in Wittenberg, having learned that Luther's gospel promised forgiveness for any and all sin, had stopped attending services and giving to the ministry and had started indulging in greed, lust, and booze. A frustrated Luther threatened to go on strike if they didn't change their ways. He declared, "You absolutely unthankful beasts, unworthy of the gospel; if you do not repent, i will stop preaching to you." They did not and so he did, taking several months off from being " the shepherd of such pigs."
Like the Luthers in Wittenberg, many of us may have though (early in our Christian career) : If God forgives us no matter what we do, then ultimately does not matter what we do. Salvation is a blank check. We can sin as much as we want, for it's all covered!
Surprisingly, Paul tells Titus that rather than encourage sin, the grace of God actually instructs us "to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures" (Titus 2:12).
The Heidelberg Catechism explains that only when I realise "how great my sin and misery are" can I understand "how I may be delivered from all my sins and misery," which then leads me "to express my gratitude to God for such deliverance."
So here is the Calculus. Understanding the extent of my sin enables me to appreciate grace, which automatically fills me with gratitude, which always looks for ways to say thank you. It looks like this: Sin--> Grace--> Gratitude--> Good Works.
If your love for God is waning and your will to obey is lacking, the answer is not to grit your teeth and try harder. Instead, work the formula. Start with a realization of the depths of your sin. Only then will you appreciate your need for grace. And gratitude and obedience will surely follow. --- Mike Wittmer


next--> Why is it significant that the New Testament word for gratitude (encharistia) is built on the term for grace (charis)? Is gratitude a better motivation than duty? Why?

The Last Lecture - Dr. Randy Pausch

respond to Judson's post....

actually watched this clip b4 sometime ago.. and i could not totally agree with the point he mentioned.
eg: "if u live ur life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. the dreams will come to you."
agree that we should live our life the right way, but i think sometimes the dreams that you want might not come to you.. not saying that we should not dream of cos... i mean.. we should work hard for what we dream for but when the outcome is not what you wanted.. we should learn to embrace it... keeping in mind the fact that the outcome might not be a bad outcome... it might even be better then what u wanted..
after i watched the clip again this time.. realise that on the other hand.. Dr Randy did accept the fact that he is going to die.. (sorry to know he passed away) knowing that some things in life is unpredictable (there might be a higher being out there)... but we can chose to have the right mindset.. positive mindset.. having patience, humility, work and play well with others, etc..
inspirational speech indeed.. =)

爱情之所以为爱情

买cd 把你的声音丢在角落 看电影到结局总是配角的错
你要的故事让你去说 我要的生活我好好过
写日记写不出是谁 的感受 夜空里每个人占有一个星座
你到底懂不懂 我只要一点温热的触碰
你到底懂不懂 有些话并不是一定要说

你总说爱情之所以为爱情是用来挥霍
你总是漫不在乎当我看着自己的稀薄
你编织的感觉难以捉摸 你比我的梦境还困惑

我看见爱情之所以为爱情谁都在挥霍
我想的天长地久也许只是时间的荒谬
我沈迷的感动与你不同 我的了解让我自由

一场雨有时候下得不是时候 就像你说难过不是真的难过
你到底懂不懂我只要一个安稳的等候
你到底懂不懂 想你想得好像空气都停了

Reminder..

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Cheer Chen Sun Concert 2009 SG

kinda late to update this.. cos it was 2 wks ago already! haa
anyway.. it was a great concert!.. cheer's "emoness" is very de influential..
well, but the "consciousness" of the person beside me.. (yeh u guessed it) kinda spoils the mood a little.. haa..
maybe also becos we were not sitting at the front seats like the last cheer's concert we attended.. the music was not loud eunf for me! keke~
of cos there are still many moments of the concert that got me memorized....


天使


下个星期去英国 ...的造型

i actually dun quite understand what she meant by saying下个星期去英国 is a song about friendship at the 签唱会.. cos the song sound kinda sad to me.. and u know.. typical friendship songs should sound happy.. =''= she explains it at the concert..
绮贞：“年轻的时候我们会有一两个无话不谈的好朋友，突然之间发现，他带着他的梦想越走越远，或许是你带着你的梦想越走越远，却不敢再回到他面前。。”
it is so true and close to heart... maybe not the 不敢 part eh.. its just sometimes u may change so much that u didn't know how to face the once close friend of yours.. tot about my primary school best friend.. wonder how is she now..

*snap out of the emoness*
oh.. now is the high part!
the first half of the concert.. everybody was 乖乖的 seated down.. it was this song 等待，that got the crowd standing! or u can say everybody went out of control! Cheer really have her ways with the fans.. which artiste will take out his or her camera to take photo with the audience? so cute... haa


wah so near! did u see that? she threw her pick!

And this! was the classic moment! thanks to the person taking the video!


绮贞："准备好了吗？"
观众: " whoooo!" (some of the "lazy" audience started to sit down)
绮贞："那你还坐下！... 快点站起来!!"

first time hearing cheer "scolding" the audience.. hahaha.. so funny!
think after she said that.. it was high high high all the way! everyone (almost) stood up till the end of the concert =DD
think there was... 5 or 6 encores!

enjoyed the concert thoroughly! minus the fact that i wish i can sit closer to the stage.. hahaaa

videos and photo not taken by me...

Razor TV Cheer Chen interview

爱是...

爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈；爱是不嫉妒；爱是不自夸，不张狂，
不做害羞的事，不求自己的益处，不轻易发怒，不计算人的恶，
不喜欢不义，只喜欢真理； 凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐
爱是永不止息。 [歌林多前書13:4-8]

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
[1 Corinthians 13:4-8]

notice 忍耐 is mention at the beginning and end.. it means love need a lot of 忍耐! hohoho..

while on the way to buy lunch.. then we heard a similar voice...
绮贞! =P she was doing her sound check.. i think bevlyn n me went abit ga ga for a while.. haa..



and that's the closest we would get b4 the 工作人员 asked us to leave.. eh..
i tot we will be able to see her in a closer range or even take photo with her at the post party or something..
but no loh.. she disappear so fast.. haa..

sun... so then decided to go to her autograph session the next day! keke~
well, i tried to take photo of her.. but i was too far away and i dun have those SLR cam lor.. seems like more n more ppl own a SLR nowadays eh... found some photos online thou..



manage to get her autograph n shook her hands! =D of cos as u will know.. i couldn't say a word when i saw her... haa (oh well.. yeh.. i couldn't say a word with any person i not familar with! =''=)

mon.. went to drum workshop by Sonny Emory.. (well know as drummer of earth wind and fire) which was Amazing!
thou i fell asleep for awhile during his 45mins solo... haa.. too chim for me ba i guess..
the answers he answered and his demonstration at the qna session was very insightful!
i always have the interest in drum... didn't have to chance to really learn or play thou..





tues.. went jamming preparing for gig

wed.. gig at sp to help sp guitarist club for their enrollment week..
thou not many ppl were at the showcase.. it was gd "training" for us.. haa after that when to echo for lessons..

sat.. went to mosaic concert - Brazilian Darlings: A Double Bill by Eliane Elias & Ivan Lins.
Eliane Elias and band did mostly bossa nova stuffs.. her singing and playing on the piano.. amazing... the bassist (mark johnson who is husband of eliane elias) and drummer (didn't get his name) was ... Amazing (running out of vocabs here)
and Ivan Lin's music sounded more "modern".. i guess that was Brazilian popular music.. seems like a fusion of brazilian, jazz, pop, etc.... the solo the guitarist did.. out of the world...
on the whole.... very de CHIM!
i say until like i know what they playing right... i DUNNO a THING! haa
struggled to keep myself a wake for quite a while actually (becos of the long day i had also eh..teaching from morning) ..opps.. feel kinda bad to fall asleep when these pros are giving their best on stage...
so nice to see them really.. n REally enjoying themselves...

sun.. after church ..suppose to help out for church youth camp at the forest adventure (bedok reservoir)
but the rain came.. and they have to change their plans... hai hao eh.. the flying fox thingy looks rather scary for me... hahaaa.. n was suppose to look after the youth.. i think they look after us, the "old ppl" 还差不多.. haa
then all of us went to kallang leisure park.. the youth went to ice skate.. and we just "toured" the place n slag at coffee bean...

rushed off then.. for... yet another mosaic concert - the yellow jackets with mike stern..
3 words... chim Chim CHIM! for the first few pieces... can hear that there are no landing point to the "melody" at all... its like going on and on.. u can't expect what to hear next.. that is jazz guess (abit fusion eh.. ) chim..

2 nites of consecutive Chimilogy music.... wow.. really will have headache eh..
i really think i'm not considered as a guitarist after hearing them.. hahahaa...
again... enjoy seeing the musicians.. having fun and enjoying what they are playing..
something to learn from... enjoy urselves on stage.. =)

this week... will be involve in renci hospital charity event..
yesterd after the rehearsal.. the in-charge took us on a short tour.. kinda sad to know there are these bunch of ppl who are waiting to die.. and the other hospitals ard couldn't or didn't have enough space for them.. life is fragile.. treasure the ppl ard u...
