A quick shoutout to all mothers around the world : ' Happy Mother's Day!!'. Mother's Day - A day where we do things to show our appreciation for what our mothers did for us, it can be a dinner, a gift or even a card, what matters the most is the thought! Let us just forget all the nagging or scolding from our mothers today and really just thank her for everything she has done for each of us today!

The sermon preached today was great, so I thought I might as well share some of the things I thought it was relevant for youths today (This includes you and me). It was on deception, how Satan A.k.a Master of Lies and the reason why people today sin as stated in the bible. Well, basically, it is important for us to stand firm in our faith and trust in God in the final days leading to Judgement Day where we would be judged based on our actions and words, it was also said that when Judgement Day come, it would not be easy and we would have a lot more sufferings but those who can accompany each other through these sufferings until all the suffering is over, would go to heaven and join God in the 'feast of victory'. But before e can achieve this, there are principles to follow so that we would not be deceived by Satan, who knows more than us about God's word and would use it to challenge our faith and understanding of God's word. I can't exactly remember all but here are some of the important ones. 1. Satan understand spiritual authority : what exactly is spiritual authority?People who have spiritual authority are for example, pastors, husbands in a married couple, cell leaders and the point here is everyone in this world would surely have some kind of spiritual authority so it is important for us to have strong faith and trust in God so that we would not succumb to Satan's deception. 2. Truth can be relative or subjective : simply, this means if we take something as a truth, it may not be the truth for another person so if Satan uses this, he could just shake our faith and lead us into doing his will instead of God's. Also, Humans are actually the best agent of deception for Satan, why is this so? For example, a guy could have eaten good food somewhere, he can go around and tell everyone about it and this may cause quite a few others to go and try it, this is same for if a person doesn't know that he is actually spreading Satan's word instead of God's word, he may just cause quite a number of people to have a wrong perception of things and in the end, do Satan's will. So, the important thing about this sermon today is to get ready for any attack from Satan by placing a strong faith in God and to put on God's armour (Ephesians 6: 10-18).

I guess thats all, hopefully everyone reading this post would learn something from this small part of the sermon and be ready for Judgement Day. Nitez! ^^

God Bless,

Hi! It is super early in the morning & I have this sudden urge to blog,well so here I am =) Many things have happened during this holiday and recent ones are playing sports with Adwin, Yun Yi, Jason & my church friends (Tennis & Badminton), going to Escape Theme Park with Adwin, Yun Yi, JAson & Lionel which was super crazy, screaming and doing stupid things almost every time on every single ride & going to my primary school gathering (BBQ) which was equally fun though more people should have came.

Hi guys! Been busy with a new blog, hopefully it will be ready soon enough. Anyway, lots of things have gone by and it really tires me out but at the same time all these things will definitely be part of the good times I had in secondary school. So let's start with the first thing, 'O's, it is done and over, all I hope is that I will achieve my aim and until the results are released, everything is an unknown. Everything was ok and maybe on the good side except Physics Paper 2 and A Maths which I made quite a number of careless mistakes. Second Thing, Class Chalet which was right after the last paper, Bio Paper 1, it was tiring but fun, this time the chalet was big and a bit eerie, but we survived it, it was just a pity that we didn't watch Shutter and A comedy during the chalet. We had so many activities occuring at the same time during the chalet, Mahjong, Dota, PS2/ Xbox and For a period of time, cooking in the kitchen. It was memorable and hopefully the same for all ...

Hi again.... Haiz, it is quite late and I guess I am quite distracted these few days even before the actual 'O's which is in 3 days, going to be 2 days. Well, so I guessed I may as well blog somethings which has been in a way, been thinking of these few days on the boring, yet at the same time 'able to think about things' sessions on the bus as I go to school and go back home. First off, I think many of you ,if anyone is even reading this now or maybe after 'O's, would agree with me that in Singapore, there are in fact many thousands of people day in day out spending money on lottery like 4D, Toto and others, thinking that they would have s surprise windfall and that they can quit their job and enjoy the rest of their life in comfort, this I agree but look at the chances of winning it is like one of millions chance of winning even if it is just a consolation prize (It is the lowest category of them all). You might be wondering why am I 'preaching' all th...
