Andris choir at Victoria Concert Hall, worth the price of the tixs that we paid for. Auto upgrading of seats due to change of seating plans. Ticketing director also play a part... ... The Hwa Chong Choir rocks, this year got more variety as compared to last year. "A Basque Lullaby" is my fav piece. Only bad stuff is some LATE comers don't know concert etiquette & disturb the pieces. Overall 9 out of 10... ... Keep it up!!!

Wonderful time of fellowship, physically full too. The food is awesome and whatever that is serve on our table we shall go Yes Lord, Yes Lord, Yes Yes Lord... Thats why the song of (last) week. We ordered a specially concocted cocktail of rum, lime and a few other stuffs. After all the OIL in our system, Joeru had Earl Grey while I had Eng. B'fast tea to flush it all the way down. Mervin talk so much bout coming back with his friends while we savour the food. 9 out of 10... ...
19th/21st May
May not have known Zhi Xiong very well, but the death of such a close relation must have affected him in one way or another. Got to know him better these 2 days as compared to years that I have since known him. Dunno good or bad, but no words can describe the event. No ratings.
20th May

Thank You ! ! !
I doubt any of you heard of this singer before, he does not even belong to my era. I only got to know him when I work for Hosanna Intergrity Music Aisa in my secondary school days (11 years back). Its was during that time that I brought tonnes of CDs and therefore my "collection". His songs all reflects a part of his own life and this week song of the week will be his "conversion" song. A song to remember the person who led him to CHRIST. Lyrics provided just in case your english is as bad as mine, btw this lyrics can't be even found on the web, ANCIENT stuff but valuable... ... Enjoy
Thank You
I dreamed I went to heaven
And you were there with me
We walked upon the street of gold
Beside the crystal sea
We heard the angels singing
Then someone called your name
You turned and saw this young man
And he was smiling as he came
And he said friend you may not know me
And then he said but wait
You used to teach my Sunday school
When I was only eight
And every week you would say a prayer
Before the class would start
And one day when you said that prayer
I asked Jesus in my heart
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am a life that was changed
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am so glad you gave
Then another man stood before you
And said remember the time
A missionary came to your church
And his picture made you cry
You didn't have much money
But you gave it anyway
Jesus took the gift you gave
And thats why I am here today
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am a life that was changed
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am so glad you gave
One by one they came
Far as the eyes could see
Each life somehow touched
By your generosity
Little things that you had done
Sacrifices made
Un-noticed on the earth
In heaven now proclaimed
And I know up in heaven
You're not supposed to cry
But I am almost sure
There were tears in your eyes
As Jesus took your hand
And you stood before the Lord
He said my child look around you
Great is your reward
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am a life that was changed
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am so glad you gave
Thankful,

Good News, Bad News ! ! !
Well, I have to agree with Daniel Liu that Paul's Tan sermon are getting better by the week. Thats the title for his sermon last sunday. But its only one statement. "WE ARE RICH," thats BOTH the good news as well as the bad. Thot provoking and learning a lot bout life and God.
Cell last Saturday was cool, more or less set the pace for the next phase of SOYMILK. Will have to continue to seek the Spirit guiding as we move along in this next phase.
Went bowling with Mervin last sunday night. Surprise that after a year plus of not bowling, I manage to maintain my standard. Improve score for every game, something that never happened before, normally score got up and down. Played four games and reached home bout midnight to catch the 2nd half of Liverpool soccer match. Liverpool won, YEA... ...
Below is an excerpt from Jia Ni blog, thot tiggering and most people in Singapore still say "Money No Enuff"
If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following.
There would be:
· 57 Asians
· 21 Europeans
· 14 from the Western Hemisphere, North & South
· 8 would be Africans
· 52 would be female
· 48 would be male
· 70 would be non-white
· 30 would be white
· 70 would be non-Christian
· 30 would be Christian
· 89 would be heterosexual
· 11 would be homosexual
· 80 would live in substandard housing
· 70 would be unable to read
· 50 would suffer from malnutrition
· ONE would be near death;
· ONE would be near birth;
· ONE, (yes, only 1) would have a college education;
· ONE, (yes, only 1) would own a computer.
Thoughtful,
