Meeting Dotz last Sunday! My Easter Surprise!

Last Easter weekend was a cool one. On Good Friday - I watched 4 'in-house' movies - Confession of Pain (not too bad! Takashi Kaneshiro); Hoodwinked (COOL!); Eragon (I like it); DOA (not that bad lah.. ok maybe i just like brainless combat movies..);

Then Saturday was a cool one... we had our usual Youth Arise gathering at Eugene's place with lotsa good food!



Since it was the day before Easter (Holy Saturday) - we did a meaningful exercise (led by Jac!) on the theme of forgiveness, and so we did the washing of feet for each other! Awkward as it sounds, this was an exercise to show our forgiveness of any past hurts to each other and we also stood in proxy for other things. For example, I could go up to XX and ask XX to stand in proxy for the ministry and then say the things I'm sorry for, to the ministry. It's a self-liberation activity and it gives a person not only psychological, but also spiritual freedom as God's Grace comes over us to help us seek 'forgiveness'. It felt cheesy at first but after a while, I thought it was good and something i really needed. So thank God for this opportunity - to release, let go, and Let God do the healing.

Sunday - was the Easter Party at OLPS where we led P&W. I played the guitar. It was a good experience. I'm glad we're finally stepping up to show ourselves and be seen. I hope we will continue to be more daring and step up to lead P&W sessions even more. It gets worrying when I think about how not everyone is well equipped about P&W or not as good as it could have been.. but then again, these thoughts are useless... and i should just be happy with what we have, and make plans for further training or equipping then!


AFTER the Easter party was a cool time at Gabriel's Dad's 60th Birthday party. Well, what an idea - for next year -- somebody is turning 60 too.. my dad. Anyway, there was a live band - Gab's Dad's friends... and a whole house of people. Super cool for old folks! I was very very impressed! and can u imagine... all of us - the young people were so entertained. AND there was CHOCOLATE FONDUE!!! AND Durian CAKE!





But the most amazing part is meeting DOROTHEA!!!! MY NTU Comm Studies senior, NTU campus crusade disciple group leader in year 1 & 2. And so...I got a shock when I saw her and asked - why are you here? and found out that she's Gabriel's cousin! The world is indeed so small! GOsh!



Well, so far now, it's been an un-workable week - not in the mood for work this week - Well, after all the good stuff happening around... I need to FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS!!
