God is real and so am I
It was terrible on monday. I went for my make-up session at TK's place. We talked about things in church and shared about leadership.... And eventually, the Y and K leaders were asked how come we come late for services and do not seem to own the service and is so passive about it.
I thought maybe i can just not say anything about it, just keep quiet... let it pass.... and then just make a concerted effort to be on time... and that was what i have been trying to do! But each time, the same thing happens. Either the taxis do not come or we would oversleep. I guess we could have more control over the latter.
Yes! And that will be what we will do and have been trying to do and will do it even better by just planning time for travel using the mercedes vehicle. Or is it another brand name now? The bus is usually more reliable than the taxis even though it is going to take a longer time. Coming service is Easter service.... and i wouldn't want to be late. Not even in the future.
I shared about how i felt leading the K Min. It was tough being pushed into the leadership role w/o ample preparation and it seems like i was not prepared for it even though i was willing. Did i believe in God's power and guidance and leading and grace? Just like how it was with Gideon that God would use the least to demonstrate his glory and power. I did believed. But i guess i felt disillusioned. Now, what am i going to do? I thought about it and have prayed. Surrendered my past disappointments and discouragements too. And this is what i will do. I will stand in my new position as a K leader and lead in a position that i can grow in. Not going to allow myself to feel that something has been taken from me and hence have that feeling of being cheated. And when things are happening not according to what i thought it should be, i would pray and i believe that God would reason out with me about his plans. His plans are always good even though i do not understand it. So, i will not drag myself to serve, but to serve with joy. I will contribute and not be quiet. I will try to be more bubbly like what other people said i used to be... but i seriously think that this bubbliness has been much reduced because i have grown much older. =) Yupz.. and that will be what i do. God be with me.
Just yesterday, God filled me afresh and i could just sense His presence in the midst of us so strongly. Other than physical sensations, there was this assurance that indeed He will be with me even though i may walk through the valleys. Praise Him, praise Him, praise Him in all the earth.....

Publicizing my blog
Today, i have finally decided to do a little publicity of my blog even though it is not the best blog in town and i am sure there are many bloggers out there who can write or rather type really well. You know who ya... =) Check out my wife's blog. (www.blessed-peephole.blogspot.com) She's really good with penning her words. Each time i read her blog, i feel a sense of admiration and amazement. God has given her wisdom yeah... Amen!
Anyway, yupz... if anyone of you from 3N2 is reading this. This is for you... Check out your lead portal forum... Need you to contribute some views about the computer lesson so that your math teacher here can improve some more. And thank you for being such a wonderful class to teach even though sometimes i wonder how some of you can still ask questions that i have already explained before and how some of you come up to my face and ask about this and that. You have been a joy to teach. I can just be myself. I know i can be strange or funny in class sometimes. Thanx for accomodating my eccentricities... haha..
Hmm... looking forward to a long weekend... Tmr is last day of the week! Yay!
PTL!

School Term coming to a close
*heaving a sigh of relief*
Finally the school term is ending. Even though it may be just a short one week break and there are days that i am required to go back to school or to go for courses, I am still thankful that i can finally rest and take a breather. If only i could spend those times with my wife as well. But she is going to go for an adventurous mission. =D I hope she would enjoy herself. And i am really tempted to visit her at the camp site coz i figured that i would miss her.. Hiaks... *Nobody laugh!* Yes, i really love my wife.
It has been about 4 months since we got married and i really love being Mr Wong and her Mrs Wong. Just the other day, i showed a class the wedding pics (slideshow) that i took with my wife, and i was watching it, i feel so touched, especially when it reached the last part when the words of the marriage vow came on.
Today was a memorable day... it was the first time that we did not have breakfast tgt because we woke up late! I guess sports club really got us drained and exhausted. Coz yesterday, we went to sports club at CCAB. She played badminton with her wounded fore-finger wrapped in a plaster and i played soccer. There were so many new friends. There was Tang, Glen, Ian, Kenneth (they call him neo), Rod and many more. When i saw them, i wondered to myself... How to bring them to Christ? I guess just continue to make friends and pray that they will grow in the desire of knowing God.
Tomorrow is going to be the last day of school, but there are still so many things to do and so much preparation to make for the week after the school holidays. I really hope that i can get the rest that i need. I hope my wife gets her rest too.

Nice and Slow Monday
Today was a good day. No difficult students who are misbehaving nor overwhelming tasks looming before me... but surely there are lots to be done in preparation for CIP, NCC, setting of papers for common tests, marking of class tests, preparing lessons, admin stuff and more. But all i am looking forward to is the CNY holidays. Really need to hibernate, not just to rot... but really to seek. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteouness and all the things shall be added unto you. I think i need that deep rest, not just physically, but the times of refreshing that would come upon my soul and whole being.
In the evening, shuyan and i went back to neram for dinner and enjoyed our slow walk, talking and sharing about our day, as well as our thoughts. We always enjoyed doing that tgt and i am glad that we have this time tgt today! =) Itz funny sometimes how i would feel such a deep love for her and appreciating her for everyone that she does, be it cooking and preparing breakfast every morning without fail, doing the household chores (I do them too) =), watching shows tgt, be it detective stories or whatever, i just enjoy doing everything with her. God has been good to us. TG!
If only everyday is at a comfortable pace and things still get accomplished efficiently, how nice would that be... Ahhhh....

Is it bread or the Word?
It has been some time since i have read the word of God regularly. Maybe i felt that it was not necessary for me to read everyday or that i have misplaced my priority in this area. But i am glad that God showed me once again from His word how it changes and renews my mind as i read. Praise Him for his wonderful works!
I pray that as i read each time, God will sanctify my mind and by the renewing of my mind, i will be transformed into the image of my Lord Jesus Christ who is full of love and grace and yet disciplines and teaches.
Indeed the bread that nourishes or fills the stomach cannot be compared to the Word that grows and builds up the spiritual life in a person. I believe with all my heart that as i look to Him and continue to trust in His work that has started in me and bringing it to completion till the day I meet with Christ, He will fulfill His will for my life.
Holy Spirit, help me to stay close and draw from you. In spite of difficult circumstances, i will not fall or look at it with hopelessness, but place my hope in you.
