Beuh!! Hari ini hari akhir holiday gue... koq waktu keliatan nya lebih cepat sih... everything goes by soooo quickly. Soon will be the start of my first day of yr12 and then....HSC!!! AHHHHHH!!!! It feels like yr7 was yesterday and now I'm going for the LAST year of school. What to do afterwards, I still don't know yet. My want is that I can go to Bible College and work full time ministry (how cool will that be... serving His ministry 24/7) but ofcourse I will follow God's will. Wherever He wants me to go, whether it be Uni or even cooking class or even hairdressing (God bless me!), I will still be a Planetshaker there Hehehe....
This year indeed will be a year of acceleration. I can feel it in the air. God says that there is a time for everything and this year I believe it will be a time for growing and perseverance. Many things in store for 2005:
1) Revolution - my teen ministry!! Getting pumped soon!
2) Passion - hhooooorrrreeeee!! Powerhouse starting this wednesday!!
3) More worship leading practice - getting better I hope
4) Guitar practice with Hillsong - MAD stuff aye??
5) YOUTH CAMP!!! - Awesome stuff!!
6) CHURCH RETREAT!!! - A few oldies but still AWESOME!!! and
7) CCC conference - another spiritual "BOOST"
Busy year or what aye?! Can't wait to get started!!

Fishing & B.B.Q
Firstly I wanna thank God soooooooo much for giving us a great time with great weather and great people. I thank Him also for giving me the ability to organise the B.B.Q since usually I'm the worst at organising. He is good indeed!!!
Well here's the rundown of what happened for everyone who didn't attend:
1.) Fishing the tuesday night at RoseBay at 10pm till 2am... Ko Chung Hauw is a legend. Caught sooo many fish by himself. I waited a long time but I finally caught ONE and then it escaped and my line went in the water!! I'm still happy though :D Learnt an important lesson that night: perseverance always gets rewarded! Hehehe...
2.) We finished at 2am and me, mum and nina nginep di tempat ella and ko alex. Bangun" jam 8, di jemput sama Daniel dan cowok" pergi ke Centenniel Park for preparation. Kasihan banget gak? si Han2 udah di sono dari jam 7. Dia nunggu di sono buat booking the place. We prepared the places and got all the food and "yum yums". Si Joshua bikin fruit saladnya bagus sekali (with a little help by his dad hehee...still good!)
3.) Orang" baru dateng jam 11 dan kita main satu ice breaker. Then straight into benteng"an. Wah...rame banget. Si Han jago banget deh... everyone returned to the B.B.Q place all sweaty and smelly (even the gals hahaha...!). But no worries its eating time and everyone enjoyed really good food!! Cooked by Mr.Handy himself.
4.) Next onto games again but this time di split into 4 groups. Mini games of "Honey, I love you". I have to say the best at that was Daniel himself. Got 4 people sooo quickly. Must have had experience before aye?? ; ) next game was "mother goose"...MUAHAHAAH!! the best game i think... tiring but sooo funny. All the Aussies around us were staring at us. Hahaha... kasihan banget lihat si Joshua lawan temen Boost yang gede banget!!
5.) Well that was the end of the games and everyone was too tired to play another hehehe... so it was packing and cleaning up time. A few minutes later everyone bubar. Great day...around 40 ppl came. Lots of fun!! Finished around setengah 3. Most of the girls went to the beach and the guys went to play some billiard... hehehe
Personally i wanna thank Han han heaps for his preparation and ALL the guys for doing a superb job!!! Thanks guys!!

Offering finally!!!
Aduuuuhhhh!!!! Seneng banget deh hari in...hehehe since I don't work and don't get any pocket money, I can't put any money in the offering bag : ( BUT today (since I didn't spend all my going out money with Titi and Icha) I could finally put some money in the bag. Only $20 but it was enough!! For some reason I have never felt this way before... all the time I've put something in for offering I would just feel normal but this time...just the thought of being able to offer some money to God gave me soooo much joy it felt as if my heart was going to leap out of my chest (gila gak?!?!) hahaha... oooo man I love God soo much...

Mowing the devil!!!
Man, today was a crazy day!! Mowing!! Yes, you heard me right, mowing. It took me about half and hour to start that crazy machine and the grass was sooooo... long that it was really hard to move the mower. At the end of the day I was covered with these white seeds (stupid weeds with flowers...u know the ones where when the wind blows, all the fluff flies off) and I had blisters on my hands (they were like round and filled with water...yuk!) but at the end of the day, the grass was shreded and I had a shower..s'all good!!
I'm still in shock of being the new cell leader. Man... I had no idea!!! My mouth was open for like half and hour!!! Even now, I can tell that the devil is trying to place lies in my head...saying that "I'm too young to be a cell leader" but I realised if God can use a donkey, He can surely use me!! I'm actually really excited and can't wait for God's power to move. I hope this cell can grow and grow and grow!! Change people's lives and make them bold for Christ. A training ground for Jesus Freaks!!! Come and visit anyone!! Stuff the devil...He's nothing compared to my JC!!

"Cry Holy"
Hey guys!! I know blogs are meant to be about ourselves and our daily lives and stuff but I can't help it... GOD IS GOOD!!!! I just can't stop myself from loving Him more and more. I'm obsessed every night. Seriously every night, even if I want to go to sleep and its like 1:00am (and by this time I would be really sleepy) theres something inside of me that just cannot sleep without spending time with JESUS!!! Love 'im to bits!! Gotta pick up my guitar (which I have now relocated next to my bed so I can play in the dark while laying down) and WORSHIP HIM!!!
There's this mad song by the "Planet Shakers" and its called "Cry Holy". Wish I could teach it to y'all. The words are really good and its been stuck in my head for several days now. It goes:
"Wonderous mystery in the pages of history
Of a man who bled and died for me.
Its more than a story,
He's the One who hung upon a tree.
His crimson flow poured out for me,
Gave His life to set me free"
and it keeps on going but that's the best part. It really does show the great of a sacrifice that Jesus gave for us.
p.s: you guys might be wondering about the poem below. Just decided to type it up..hehehe.. old poem I've had for awhile. Supposed to be directed to a girl but can also be for God.
p.p.s: anyone wanna use it for a girl (thats right Herman I'm talking to you :P) you can use it!! Hehehe...

How You Love Me
You are the sun that always
seems to brighten up my day.
You are my shining star above,
perfect in every way.
No matter where I am, what I do,
or what I try to say,
One thing always stays with me -
how you love me in that way.

PLANETSHAKERS!!!!!!
PLANET SHAKERS!!! Let's get our praise on!!! For all those that don't know yet, me and a few other church people went to the greatest youth conference held in Sydney, PLANET SHAKERS! It was the most awesome conference man! The Holy Spirit was moving so strongly in that place, changing every single person in that place even from thevery first night!! Most of us we're just thrown down at the majesty of God, we HAD to fall on our knees and cry "HOLY IS THE LORD!!" (that's why I have a sore throat now). Great is our God, Amen? Amen!
The praise and worship at that place was incredible aswell. Non-stop jumping practically and the thing was that, all the youth there brought the praise INTO the house of God!! Before the band was even on, they were already jumping up & down to the CD they were playing! Crazy aye?
I believe that we have the ability to change our church dramatically. We have to start seeking God more and more in our church and our homecells (not just new people). We have to have David's heart: A heart after God. We have to be desperate for Him in our lives. Make Him the air we breathe, the blood in our veins, the food we eat, the water we drink and the joy we jump to! Only then can we truly be PLANET SHAKERS!!
COME ON PLANETSHAKERS!!! LET'S GET OUR PRAISE ON FOR HE IS HOLY & WORTHY OF ALL OUR WORSHIP AND HONOUR!!!

Amazing grace...
I've just been thinking about the tsunami and how it must feel for those hundreds of thousands of people that have lost their family and friends. I thank God so much for keeping me alive for another day. We take things for granted sometimes I guess without realising it, even salvation. I've been thinking alot about salvation for the past few days. Sometimes I feel ashamed to take it even though in my head I know God loves me so much. I sin many times, daily and yet its still on offer even through all the imperfections of our lives. Well I have come to a conclusion.
The answer is simple yet beautiful. God's love extends that of unworthiness, of imperfections, of shamefulness and most importantly, sin (The only thing that truly separates us from God). We say sometimes that "no one's perfect" but we have to be perfect. Everytime we stand in awe in God's presence, we are perfect. If we are not perfect when we stand in front of him then we will just be toast, literally. He makes us all perfect even when we don't deserve it. To think that He created us humans even though He knew in advance that we would sin aganist Him. Amazing grace aye?
"He gives,
and takes away.
May the name of the Lord be praised!"

Love, parties and fish???
Hey all!! Sorry I haven't updated my blog for a long time but i was fasting technology as a B'Day present for God!! Its been tough man not to touch the computer or not to look at it (Diana and Nina's reading comics from the net) but it's worth it!!!
I am in love to the most beautiful, exquisite, gorgeous and absolutely most lovely being in the whole universe at the moment!! Who else would fit the description but God...hehehe. I've been close to Him before but never this close and it feels like I'm flying on air. And the good thing is that GOD LOVES ME BACK!!! (one hundredfold i might say!!) Such a feeling i've never experienced before. Everytime I get near him my heart beats a million times a second. OOHHHH...how i wish everyone could experience it!!! This i might say (a bit late i know) is the true meaning of Christmas. Knowing in ur heart that the being that created the universe became nothing for us!!! crazy aye?!?! Thats why I love him so much!! beyond anything on earth or heaven!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR '05 EVERYONE!!!!! I hope God blesses everyone more and more!! I've actually made some New Years resolution one of which is to be able to speak indo fluently...soooo Indo people help me!!! I need to make this work hehehe...!! cannot waste "talents" that God has given me (reference in bible). Btw, everyone should've came and slept over with us at Jess' house. Great party!! Chips, drinks, cards, talcum powder, photos and great fun. Slept at 5.30 in the morning after watching movies. U should've seen me at p&w practice later that day. I was practically sleeping standing up with the guitar strapped on my shoulders hahahaha....
Oh yeah... we also went fishing a few days before new years. It was so windy and cold but a great night of fishing anyways. It was Herman's night: 7 fish i believe. It was as if God was helping him (5 second dips man!! maybe he fasted so that he could catch heaps of fish hahaha)
But even better was that the next day... we bbq all the fish at Jess' place and it tasted great!! Good job Herman!!
