This post is dedicated to all YMers, YFers, NLWers :P of Toa Payoh Methodist Church (CAC)
Must really say a big thank you to all you guys out there. Today has been a enjoyable day for me. I must say I really feel honoured to share this day with God and his children, on Easter!! How lucky for me to be spiritually prepared on Easter Day? How much more meaningful can it get?
In less than 12 hours time, I will be entering NS. Nothing much, just another phase of life. But as I said in my last entry, I was a little spiritually troubled, out of no reason. But I really really want to say a big thank you to all of you out there! My brothers and sisters, you all have no idea how important your prayers have been to me. Right now, I am so much more spiritually and emotionally prepared. By God's power, I will be a living testimony for Him. Rest assured, I will take care of myself both physically and emotionally.
Special Thanks:
David (for making the effort to call and pray for me. It was a very pleasant surprise!)
Moses(for praying for me)
Wei Feng(for praying for me and the chance to act...)
Tommie(for painstakingly reading my medicine personal statement and giving comments...)
NS cell guys(thanks for the prayers, and also the Tao Pok, it was definitely tasty...)
All who wished me all the best on MSN at the last minute :P
Last but not least, all the YMers and YFers, you guys definitely rocks! Will miss you guys...(Two weeks only, why I so gu niang?)
All right, all I can say now, lets continue to burn in God's consuming fire. I want to dedicate Ephesians 6:10-20 to all of you, a reminder from the bible given to me by David :) Ok, I am off now, see you guys soon! To Satan I say, your temptations ain't unbreakable, bring it on, I am SO ready for it...

In 29.5 hours time, I would be enlisting to NS. I will be embarking on a journey to a place I have never been in my life, Tekong, haha.
Somehow, there is this sense of discomfort and insecurity on going to this island. It is not physically but spiritually and emotionally. The uncertainty and fear of what lies ahead may seem stupid, but it still troubles me, a little?
To my christian brothers and sisters, do keep me in prayers. Ask God to give me this steadfast faith and peace in Him. Let me not be influenced by the deceptive acts of Satan. Let me be a glory and testimony to Him. Into His hands I commit...

What is the most beautiful love story? (Apart from God's love for humanity) Is it two lovey-doveys falling in love in the most romantic setting? Is it about a couple that fought against all odds in order for them finally come together? Well, I must agree that these above examples are quite sweet and touching, but what moves me the most is amazingly much more simpler and unexpected.
I find it really touching to see an old feeble couple walking hand in hand and looking at each other intimately in the eyes. The old man will ask his wife, " Are you feeling alright, my dear?" and the his wife would reply, " I am fine. Do you need a rest?". Such simple acts of care and concern really outline the essence of a time tested relationship. This is the kind of love that truly binds both of them together. This is the kind of love that never fails. This is the kind of love that tolerates and accomodate. This is the kind of love that is tested through the wrath of time. This is the kind of love that I really believe is blessed by God.
This simple picture painted is a powerful representation of love. It is something that summarises and brings out the essence of the immense attraction between two people. It underlies the foundation of the couple's relationship. It is a testimony to the times they shared. It is a testimony to the hardships they both went through together. It is a testimony to their undying bond. What relationship can be more beautiful than this?
This is the kind of relationship we all should be aiming for. This is the kind of relationship we should be striving for. No matter what state your partner is in, you will love him or her till death do you both part. It sounds so cliche for me to bring this up, but really, come to think of it, it is never easy to commit to a relationship with such perseverance. I long for this kind of relationship I long for, something that I'll pray for. How sweet can this be? It just warms my heart. To all lovers out there, that should be the final destination of your relationship, till death do you part...
