Woo...the end of 2008 is nearing and besides the events that have occurred in this most ever wonderful year IMAO, there's this group of wonderful people who have really impacted my life in one way or another. haha this is my top 10 list of people that I really wanna thank God for:
Starting with...
1) Jeremiah Wong (Buddy) - He's a very special brother and just completes the other half of the puzzle of success for NS group. He complements me wonderfully well. Truely a joy and blessing to be serving alongside him and together with him, NS has acheived a milestone this year and a truely great acheivement. Thank God for you buddy!
2) Colin Seah (Shepherd) - Thank God for his timely reminders as well as keeping my spiritual life in check. Its been tough with his work commitments but he has remained faithful. The opportunities and exposure that he has allowed me to have with others really improved my social skills a notch.
3) Raymond Ng - Though Uncle is no longer around and thanks to his departure, ppl have started to call me Uncle (before i got TEEHEE) too. Learnt alot from him but yet at the same time wish him the best in his adult ministry!
4) Lancaster Lee (Sheep) - Truely a teachable, humble and loving brother and also 1 of the few who is able to take my fiery personality and pressure. He is truely a man of God who seeks to do the best and has performed extremely well this year! Ba Chor Meeeee Sheep!!!
5) Teo Wei Siang (Sheep) - The longest sheep that i have taken so far, almost 2 years le. Its just so easy for us to talk things and his willingness to change has really seen his group grow as well and has discipled ppl faithfully! God will you use you even more greatly next year!
6) Lemmuel Ang (Sheep) - The funniest sheep that i ever had, joker or not, he brings laughter into my life and through sharing his life to me everytime, it just makes God look all the more greater and evident. Miss you!
7) Elicia Tan - Thank God for sending someone whom i'm able to communicate with so easily and without any restrictions. Even though she's young, she's truely a Godsend and i'm amazed by her potential. She's brought joy and assurance to me that the future generation of christ followers will be great!
8) Liyan - Never expected to work with her on many projects but its been a seamless process. Good working partners i would call it. Looking forward to working with her again next year in the area of missions. Shi-jie~
9) Jorris Ng - Love the times where we chat about life in the late nights and she has been very encouraging to me. Even though she's in PSPT now, hope to spend more quality time with her next year!
10) Pastor Jasmine (Boss) - Turely admire her single-minded focus on God. She really has been God-inspired and a true blessing for POLYDINS. Really wanna thank her for giving me oppotunities to learn from her and in this coming year, i'm sure it will be even more wonderful! I will treasure this opportunity~
There are many others as well~rayna, celestine, jeremy kiu, nel, jovin, terence, jeremy etc....really Thank God for those who really make this decision to serve God! 2009 will really be a year of change and even greater transformation! Stay tuned!

HohohoI took videos of the Hope Kathmandu service as well but it will take quite a while to post them up. This mission trip was really wonderful in the sense that even though most of the time i was going there to impart, I was able to expose myself to the culture in Nepal, their lifestyle as well as the condition of the place.
It was through this trip that i realised how weak i was physically. I vomited on the second day and had fever. The next few days was even worse as i kept having diarrhea and had to go to the toilet multiple times in the wee hours of the morning. But God was really great and he blessed me with so many beautiful and wonderful angels to take care of me...talking about being blessed. My face was white and paley throughout but when it came to teaching and testimony sharing...the brightest smile and joy in my heart immediately came alive. I just love to teach and impart the Word of God and about God's character. I really thank God for all the opportunities for me to teach in each of the CGs.
Definitely i will felt burdened after the trip that I wanna do so much more for them but i know that God placed me in Singapore at this point of time for a single purpose...and thats to finish the work he has for me here before i plan to go for church planting/mission trip. Really want to affirm the following people:
1) Lolli - She is truely a Godly, beautiful woman of God who never fails to inspire me. I am so encouraged by her spirit and her heart of committing her life to serving God. Having used to the life in Singapore, its not an easy transition for her in terms of both language and culture. Through this 1 and a half years since she went back to Nepal, I can see that she has really adapted to life in Nepal and is able to blend in with the culture whilst staying focused onto God. In Nepal, she's at the prime age to get married and definitely she has no lack of suitors but her single-minded focus on God really inspires me alot. She is truely a Godly woman. Her future husband will truely
be blessed by her spirit alot. Jia you sweetie!
2) Ps.Prakash - His humility is really evident as he seeks to give whatever credit that he has attained to God. A truely sacrificial and giving man as well, always doing his best to meet the needs of others. Yet he is firm as well when required. Really pray that he will continue to bring Hope Kathmandu to greater heights and really break 50 and have really stronger shepherds and leaders rising up. God will surely honour us when we commit our lives to serving him and doing his work.
3) Liyan - she's like a shimu, guiding me, telling me the do's n don'ts yet at the same time giving me lots of room to take the lead. I wun call her my mentor but an indirect disciple of mine. She really has a big vision for God's church and is really ambitious in her thoughts. She has taught me how to see the 'giant' picture not just big picture of the church and several stages and elements of building the local church which is something that I have never got myself involved in before. Thank God for her life and ever-lasting faith in God. You will never know how such a sweet and innocent looking woman can actually be a strong and ambitious woman for God till you look at her. Ren bu ke mao xiang.
Really looking forward to next year's trip! Gonna do more, bring a team there to impact more, the student ministry in particular.
Talking abit about NS Camp, it just ended today and I would say it was a totally unique camp. The pics are not up yet but will post a little when its up. Got to say that its my first time preaching the Word of God in a camp and it was a cool experience. What i learn was that I can't teach the same way as how i teach in workshop. There are different skillsets required which is something i need to learn and improve upon future opportunities to preach. Overall it was a great camp and the committee really worked super duper hard. Thank God for Terence and Joel who really did a wonderful job of organizing this camp despite it being their maiden effort.
Xmas is coming!
I am so looking forward to "The Gift". Jesus is the greatest gift that we can and we will ever receive and its totally FREE~~~anticipating what Jesus can and will do in the hearts of the non-b....its coming....
