Goodbye Major Serene

Today is the last service when Major Serene serves as the Corps Officer of Changi Corps. She will officially be the Corps Officer of Bishan Neighbourhood Chinese Corps this coming week.

The farewell service was a bit too long. Two and a half hours in total!. We had the children doing their worship, then the sermon, then the women did 2 songs, the girls did a dance and the boys did their basketball thing, then the worship team came on to do 3 songs and then we closed by praying for the Majors.

There was some crying, though they told themselves that they wouldn't cry. I think its natural for people to cry, especially those who are close to the Majors. I also feel sad that she is leaving Changi Corps, and that many will do so too as a result of that.

I, too, had a difficult time grappling and coming to terms with all that is going to happen. However, God has given me a clear direction to stay and helped me to accept all that has been going on. Right now, we can only look forward to what is going to happen and how God will magnifest Himself in the days ahead. For we shall not our hope in man, but in our faithful and awesome God

Let not the wise man boast in weakness, or the strong man boast in his strength.

I will boast in the Lord my God, I will boast in the one who's worthy, He's worthy!

Dedication to ...... MY WIFE

I just realised that I have not made my declaration of my love to my "wife" yet. I mean, the whole world knows liao, so it'll be bad for me not to proclaim my love for her here!

So here it is; our wedding song (yes, I'm a sucker for sad romantic musicals). Pls note, this is like the karaoke, blue color words for the male, red for the female and green for the parts that are together

Never knew I could feel like this

It's like I've never seen the sky before

I wanna to vanish inside your kiss

Everyday I'll live you more and more

Listen to my heart can you hear it sing

Telling me to give you everything

Seasons may change winter to spring

But I love you, until the end of time

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Suddenly it moves in such a perfect pace

Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste

It all revolves around you

And there's no mountain too high

No river too wide

Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side

Storm clouds may gather, stars may collide

But I love you (I love you)

Until the end (until the end) of time

Come what may, come what may

I will love you until my dying day

Hair For Hope

It is done!

Wow, there was quite a crowd there today. Those who decided on the spot to shave had to wait for about 2 hours for their slots.

There were more than 50 brave ladies who went up to shave as well. Really admire them for their courage. I also saw at least 20 kids walking around with their botak heads. Hope they'll stand proud when their classmates start teasing them because of that.

As for the rest of you, what are you waiting for pick up the phone to call 1900-11..... oops, wrong foundation. I mean go to the website and start pledging. I'll still be having my pledge card till mid-august, so continue to show your support!

Going Botak

I'm going botak!! Yes! Like those people that you see in that--> picture!

Children's Cancer foundation is organising an event called the "Hair For Hope" This event is what I have chosen to do in solidarity of children with cancer and in celebration of their courage.

Through this symbolic gesture, we aim to:

1. Tell every child with cancer and their their families that they are not alone in the fight.
2. Help raise funds for Children’s Cancer Foundation through monetary pledges, to aid the Foundation in improving the quality of lives of our children and their families.
3. Create awareness of childhood cancer in Singapore.

Why Shave Heads? Patients’ hair loss, from treatments of cancer such as chemotherapy, is a representation of his or her courageous fight against cancer. Through the symbolic gesture of shaving our heads, we hope to lend moral support to all children with cancer, and to let them know that there is nothing wrong with being bald.

You too can take part in this event by:

1. Pledge through donation cards
2. Pledge online: http://www.ccf.org.sg/hfh/online/pledge.php?shavee=g2m8ns0rxf85nv7qdclwbqy3ph2e6225
3. Or, take part in this event by coming down to shave your heads and help raise funds on either the 23 July or 30 July. For more info, please refer to http://www.ccf.org.sg/hfh/index.php

By the way, I'll be shaving on the 23 July at the 2:45pm time slot, at the basement of Suntec, next to the Fountain of Wealth. Do come and support me and remember to bring your money!

Addictive Editing

Woo wee! This is the second picture produced after reading "Classic Photoshop Effects" by Scott Kelby.

He's got really neat tricks and easy to follow step by step instructions which makes editing simple and fun!

Haha, sounds like some advert. But hey, his books are really easy to follow and great.

Took me a long time to edit one pic though. Cos I'm still not very familiar with the short cut buttons yet.

So here it is, a new hobby (actually I wanted to start on it long ago, just lazy).

So those out there who still owes me my birthday present, go get me a Scott Kelby book

Buffet Lunch At Kushin-Bo

Haha. Today is the official opening of MY blog!! Muahahaha!!

I'll like to thank Vien helping me with the template, and LF for testing out and helping with the photo designs

I shall blog about 1 of my many favourite things; FOOD!

Yesterday I went to Kushin-Bo at Suntec lvl 3 with LF. Wow! The spread was great. All kinds of japanese food ranging from sushi, sashimi, my fav beans, teppanyaki, tempura, paper steamboat, curry, lots of desserts and many many more! It was a really sumptous meal that came up to about $26 per person.

We were given the choice to finish the buffet in 1 hour to get the "express price". In the end, we decided not to, because the food was simply to good for us to gobble down instead of taking our time to enjoy.

Then we went to watch Pirates of the Carribean. The movie was so long and some parts were a bit dry, so i slept for a while. Couldn't resist, especially after a heavy lunch. In the end, there was no ending... diao. Have to wait for part 3

And later, during care group, I found out from Yong Kiat that there's a bit more of the movie after the credits. They should start telling these kind of things in some form of annoucement before the show so that people can stay back and watch the whole thing. Now I'll have to wait for someone who has seen it to tell me what's at the end.
