Today was really very slack, woke up around 2 plus in the afternoon!! Then went out to Vivo City around 5 plus to meet up with Derrick, Dine, Karenn, Jogina, Sabrina and Winson! Sad that I could not eat Sushi buffet!! Argh! Anyway, went there and SLACKED SOMEMORE!! Then around 7 plus if I am not wrong, slowly walked out of the top terrace of Vivo City, when amazingly we saw FELICIA CHIN and PATRICIA MOK!! She saw us and waved back!! She is soooo pretty!!! HAhaha!! Wanted to take picture with Her but scared to cuz she was accompanied by a security sia! Haha!! Well, that was like a short lived moment! Anyway, took a picture of the sunset which was soo cool and also a random picture of a sign which I found it quite hilarious!! Haha!!

*Such a beautiful sunset!*

*What a funny way to enforce law!*

Well, that was about it! After that, Sabrina, Karenn Dine and Winson went back home, left only Derrick, Jogina and me! We went window shopping, actually Jogina went! haha!! She bought something after went back home! Derrick and Jogina went home via MRT while I took the bus back! 

While I was on my way back home, I was thinking about what the YEAR 2008 has brought upon! I remembered also what Pastor Zhuang said when the YEAR 2008 may have been a bittersweet year!! Thinking back, I realised that there were ups and downs during the YEAR 2008. Now, I also realised that THE YEAR 2008 is gonna end in another one more day and the NEW YEAR is going to start!!

Today was a day of NEW THINGS and change!! hahaha!! Went to Outram Blood Bank to donate My blood!!! I thought it would be very painful but it was not at all!! I went to sign up then after that went for check up! After that, went to a check whether my blood is normal! It was like an ant bite when the nurse used a devise to prick my finger! Then came the moment when I was called into the donation area where I had to lie on a bed. After that one of the nurses came and attended to me. She applied something on me to clean the area, then she injected an injection to numb the pain or to lessen the pain. After which she took a tube like devise and pierced it through the skin! 
IT was like an ant bite too! Then the nurse gave me a ball to squeeze so that the blood would flow and ironically the ball was a figure of SANTA CLAUS!! hahaha!! I squeezed it and out came the blood flowing through the tube down to the packet!! It was all over in 10 minutes! Then after that I went to meet up with Gouwei, Boon and Weisiang at Plaza Singapore and went over to a "ulu ulu" place which I have no idea of what the name was! Haha! We went there to play LAN! Played Counter Strike, Dota, Red ALert 3 which I found boring! Hahaha! Played till 4 to 5 plus after that went the Mac to eat. Then Boon went back home while Gouwei, Weisiang and me went to find a saloon to cut hair! Then we found this saloon called D.A HAIRDRESSING!! 
I found something AMAZING!! I found out that the stylists there styled ANNABEL, SERENA and the people from CHC band!! I was like WOW!! Then Gouwei and me decided to try it. It was also cheap le cuz there was like a 50% discount for first timers - so it was $30 and after discount it was $15 inclusive of cut, wash and style!! So we went ahead and after around half an hour, I had a whole new hairstyle!! 

Well, that is about it!! haha!! Tmr gonna play tennis with AJ and oh before I end this post, THANKS GOUWEI for lending me $8 for the haircut!! haha!!

Today was the last service of the year 2008! I must not look back at the OLD DEFEATS, OLD SINS, OLD CONFLICTS and OLD VICTORIES!! My dad used to always tell me that what is past is past, what is over is over or what is done is done and there is no point in looking back and regret but the only thing is to forget about it and always look forward to new things! Well, the End of the year 2008 is almost nearing in about 5 more days and it is gonna be the start of the BRAND NEW YEAR!!! During the service I had a "flashback" of the vision for 2008! I saw myself walking along the path enduring and going through the challenges that was brought upon me. Then I saw myself stopping in front of a door! There is a door that had the label 2008 but I could not enter it as I had to let go of all my past defeats, sins, hates and victories from 2008.

Then, ALL those past things came in the form of a huge bag and if I want to move on, I have to let go as what Pastor Kong has said if I still hold on to the past things, I would not be able to grow or prosper as the past things would still be there and they would pull me down. So in the vision, I saw myself throwing that "bag" of the past into the ground and bury it! Then the door began to open and I saw myself walking into the NEW YEAR with expectancy and excitement and as soon as I went in the door to the PAST crumbled down.


I really can't wait for the NEW YEAR and I am excited for what God is gonna do in my life!!


Lastly, before I end of my post, TAKE CARE RAE!! Pray that the Sore eyes will be healed in Jesus' name!! and Rae thanks for all that you have done in my life and I hope to fellowship and catch up with you soon if you have the time!! hahaha!! :D take care!!

Today I got a SHOCK of my life!! I was sleeping rite and I was awakened by "someone" who apparently is not my mom or my sister BUT by my FRIEND AJ!! He was like " Hey ARUN, wake up la!! " My eyes opened slowly and I was shocked. There AJ was right beside my bed!! Then I remembered that I was supposed to meet him at 9am to play tennis. So I got changed and went to Yio Chu Kang to play tennis with him and Nic!! We played till 1pm.



After that, met up with Aliff to watch Bedtime Stories at Ang Mo Kio aroudnd 410 pm! The movie was funny and quite a touching one too!! Recommended to watch! Came back home around 720pm. Can't believe I have not finished blogging this! Hahaha!! Well, Tmr will be going to riverwalk for BLOOD DONATION! Oh I just realised that Sunday is my CELL GROUP APPRECIATION and 5 more days to the NEW YEAR!!! Can't wait! :D

Hey I am back! Well, I just came back after service at expo. Watched the drama again and it was still very funny!! After that, we went changi airport to have fun and fellowship till 6pm. Then we went to Peninsula Plaza to "walk walk". Then went to Mac to slack, after that went to esplanade to slack even more!! It was fun!! Well, that was about it - like a short summary of what my day was like ar. Hahaha!! Well, now the time is 1 10 am which means that christmas was over 1 hour 10 mins ago! Just want to say that this Christmas 2008 was not a festive one though as there was like no christmas spirit except in church! while I was walking to City Hall with my cell group members, I felt that christmas this year is not the same as previous years but it just felt as though THURSDAY 25th DECEMBER 2008 is just any other normal mundane day! Haiz! Well, what is done is done, what is over is over! Christmas is over so no point dwelling at that point of time rite? But to expect what is in front of us and that would be the NEW YEAR 2009 which is like 5 MORE DAYS!!! WOOHOO!! I can't wait man!! New year means new things and more opportunities that will reveal in the NEW YEAR!! More blessings are on the way in the NEW YEAR!! Yeah!! hahaha!! 


WELL TO ALL OUT THERE AND THOSE READING!! HOPE YOU ALL HAD A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS DAY!! SOON IT IS GONNA BE THE NEW YEAR AND I HOPE AND PRAY THAT THE NEW YEAR WOULD BE AN EVEN GREATER YEAR THAN THE PREVIOUS YEARS!!

Yesterday went to service again! Suppose to meet Xinying 1130 at boon lay station BUT she was late and I was also! SORRY xinying! Anyway, the second time I went for candlelight service and the service was even greater - The presence of God was even STRONGER!! After that went to City Hall with Xinying, Kohong and weisiang! Ate at Subway the second time too and it was quite expensive sia! We all waited for Dylan, Jasmin and Jeremiah and we all slacked at MacDonalds. Jasmin and Dylan were like watching Love Guru/SAW in my laptop until battery went flat. So sad! Then they continued watching Love Guru in weisiang's psp - Laughing all the way! Jeremiah, Kohong, Weisiang and Xinying were like playing with the camera and cam whoring! After that went outside of Starbucks/Mac and slacked at the grass patch. I start to take some pictures and realised How much I loved the SKY - So serene and so peaceful!





All these were taken as I was lying on the grass patch enjoying the serenity of the sky and the clouds! How amazing and creative God is!

* Candid picture!*



* HIP-HOP XINYING!*

After slacking there, we all walked to Plaza Singapore! Such a long journey! While on the way, took some pictures with BIG christmas tree!


*JUMP SHOTS!*

Looks like Jeremiah hates someone until KICK him sia! HAHAHA!! Anyway, had to retake those jumpshots which took soo long! Then we went to 7-11 to grab some snacks well, except me. After that, went to PS to eat dinner while I went back home!

Heyo! I am back! Well, today was CANDLELIGHT service at Jurong West City Harvest Church Auditorium! I was doing my duty today as usual but it was fun even thought I was sad that I could not sit with my cell group! Haiz! I was serving as "SPECIAL OPS"! The title sounds cool rite?! I thought we get to do cool things but it was a normal duty just that the name so fanciful! hahaha! Anyway, "SPECIAL OPS" was in charge of candles if not there would not be a candle light service! We were like bringing down the bags of candles down to the Stage lift when PASTOR KONG came by - HOW cool was that? The Pastor of the CHURCH up close! Hahaha! And the amazing thing was yet to come. He walked past after we said "Hi Pastor" and He patted my back replying back "hi and Merry Christmas!!" I could feel the anointing of Pastor Kong flowing and it was strong!!

After that, the service started and it was amazing, especially when it was candle lighting time! Well, rather than telling you in words, I would show it to you cuz words cannot explain the scene!




Sorry about the sudden movement of my hand because I did not know that cameras or handphones are not allowed to be used to take pictures or videos of the candlelight!

Well, here are some pictures too! :D

*THE LIGHT OF GOD IN US!*

*CANDLELIGHT!!*

The sermon was also impactful! In order for the light of God to be in ME! I have to let Jesus make me into a person of VISIONS, VALUES and COMPASSION!!! After the service and my recycling duty, I went over to find my cell group to fellowship! Took some random but COOL pictures with my handphone! I did not realise that I had good photography skills! Dun believe me!...

Here are the evidences!!

Picture No. #1

*Ang's matrix punch Dylan!*

Picture No. #2

*COOL EFFECT!*

Picture No. #3

* I have been Caught!*

Well, those are the pictures I took and here are some more pictures taken by my members!

*Group photo!*

FYI, There is a Jedi in the photo! Hahaha! Guess who?! ME!! Cool rite! hahaha!! you will be seeing that in another picture!

*Another Group photo!*


*Gangster siol!*

Yup that is it for that point of time! After that, XinYing, JingYing, Christina, Jasmin, Gouwei, Jeremiah, Dylan, Stanley, wei xiang and me went back to church to fellowship till 8 plus I think! Hahaha! Sorry ar could not keep track ar! Oh and btw, today is MONDAY! Forgot to post this on sat! So here it is! hahaha!!

Hello... Seems that I have not been updating my blog! Sorry!! :D Just that I have not been feeling well. On the last day of the week, 5th December 2008, I FELL SICK!!! I had headache, running nose and HIGH fever. Also, the whole day in class, I was shivering even though I was wearing my jacket. It felt as though I was in a freezer and the temperature was like 24.5 degrees Celsius!! After the lesson ended, I rushed back home, feeling dizzy, weak and queasy!! I also vomited three times and each time was right after I ate! Yesterday my condition got quite worse as I did not even had the strength to talk so my mom brought me to the clinic and realized that I had air in my stomach and that I had to rest more! Also, my mom told me that whenever I got a fever, the temperature would shoot up till 38 degree Celsius, be it a normal fever.

THANK YOU RAE, GOUWEI, ZHEMING and TERRY for all of your concern and prayers!!!
