全心赞美

Kaifu's CD is finally out.=) Let me share more about the purpose of the CD and how our gracious God had carried all of us thru. Since last year August, Kai fu approached a few of us to join this ministry.Through much prayer, we formed a team of 3ladies and 2 men namely: Kaifu, Derong,Li Yi,Jiayi and myself. The starting of this whole CD producting was not at all easy. For one reason, it was because all of us had no real experience in Cd recording despite being musicians in church for some time. Anyway, we gathered and started our first meeting during the time of music space.As some would know,the process of making a cd has many many stages..plus all the admin stuff. As many in the church would have known, Kaifu has been composing many many nice Praise and Worship songs for the past 10 yrs and his songs have got the ren tong of fellow bros n sis in the church.

The vision in mind when he approached us was to actually collate all these songs into a CD as a start. To bring these songs to chinese churches in singapore, so as to enable them to have another choice of worship songs to use in their churches. This minstry is non-profitable, is based on commitment to serve in this new ministry despite their full time jobs and commitments,and of people who paid the full cost of the cd production with their own money,hoping to fulfill the vision of our ministry. This CD is not under church directly because of those tedious admin matters. However, it is with full support of the church and pastors of the church. People might be asking how come only Kaifu's songs?? This is because since we have no experience in cd making and since cd making is tedious,like arrangments of the songs etc..therefore it is easier to start with one person's compositions so as to make things easier as a start in terms of executing the plans.As of next time, if God continues to open doors for us, we will be able to record other new compositions as well.

As this is the start of the ministry, the CD may not be perfect and may not reach certain people's expectations, however, it is our prayer that God can use us in this cd to bring blessing to churches in Singapore. We really do need support in action and prayer in this new ministry. This coming sunday will be the official launching of the CD. The cost of the CD is priced at a reasonable rate of $15.Really hope that you all can support this ministy.I currentl have CDs with me,so whoever wans a copy can info me.Although there will be a booth tis sunday, but u can get the CDs earlier from me. Thinking of a gift for non-believers and friends??this Cd will be a gd idea haha..=) In this cd, all our team members sang.Including jia ka yee haha...=)

LEt me share some experiences that every single of our team member went thru and how GOd sustained us. Last year, everybody knew i broke my leg la..haaa..and couldnt start prac n recording until much later..but the team still supported me in prayer n with many concerns..during that low period,everytime i was down..someone in the team will amazingly, thru their words or actions encourage me. I came to a point that i can only be so grateful and thankful and was praising GOd even in the mist of suffering.He had blessed me with so nice bros n sis..wad more can i ask for??how ungrateful n complainisome can i continue to be??my heart was changed and...i thanked God!

Next Jiayi kept falling sick due to the heavy workload in her sch.Kaifu and family also kept falling sick due to flu viruses and stuff..

And then Li Yi underwent an operation in the mist of recording. The day before her op we had recording.We were recording 主我爱你. When she was recording..n we were listening..i was super super touched ...touched by the fact that despite the op the next day, she could still have joy in her and still willing to come down for recording..she even brought us nice nice cakes.I see so much unity in the body of Christ.Such a wonderful beautiful pic..i was down that day..but when i saw that kind of heart to serve...i thanked the Lord..and i am super super greatly touched and encouraged by her.

Not long after...during JTTW musical...Derong's dad suddenly passed away. It was a heavy blow..to him especially. However, as Christians, despite the uncertainty of future, we have hope, a hope that is enternal and won't perish...that is we will all be with Jesus one fine day and so will he see his dad. In the mist of all these pain, he still committed and came down for recordings. It's really another learning point and encouragement to me.

Even after the recordings have completed,there were so many obstacles to this production...however thru prayer , God's mercy and grace was sufficient in our weaknesses and short-comings.We pulled thru....and until today, the CD is out.It cannot be taken for granted even to the printing and packaging of the cd to be perfectly without fault coz we cant assume that everything always comes out the way we want. Even till the perfect printing this time, it is really by God's grace. It's really amazing how everything happened.All Glory and Honour and Praises be to our Almighty,everlasting,sovereign God.

It's amazing how the extraordinary God can use ordinary people like us. hope that bros n sis and support us in this new ministry. thank you very very much for reading =)

Su lao tai is back with God.

Today when i was studying outside,i received msges from kA tai.It was to inform us abt Uncle Daniel's mum-Su lao tai's wake.God took her back to Him this afternoon.My heart was quite heavy after the news.EVen though i know all along these past 2yrs 8 months she's been diagnosed with stroke.This year new year sunday when the pastor asked everyone to shake hands n send greetings..i felt a great urge to go shake her hand n give her a pat on her back.I dunno why nowadays seem to put more notice on old ppl..isit that i am oso ard there le?hmm but aniwei that's not the point..i didnt know that was the first and last hand shake that i gave to her.

The reason why i am blogging about this pioneer old lady is not because she is uncle Daniel's mum.It's because she really left a deep impression.It's one of the reasons why i am still serving in church. As the people closer to her will know Su lao tai's heart to serve GOd and always encouraging people to serve God in all ways.When i was sec 4..i remembered my mum does usually chat with her de..she was a teacher in the past..so i guess my mum n her had common topics to talk abt. My mum always ask me to greet her de..so i do as she says ..usually mummys r like that ya..always tell u must greet ppl.I will always remember what she said to me that time."事奉神好，看到你弹琴事奉很好。。要继续。” Seeing church old ppl's heart for God encourages me alot these 1-2yrs.I mean although there are alot of technologies that they can't catch up with..generation gap..however i believe they are the ones who looks thorougly at the church bulletin n esp under the prayer list sections and prays for us.They are our examples of how we should seek God and work for him in the yrs that we do live.

Today the whole of the xiao li tang classrooms all opened up for the wake.Many ppl came to pay their respects.....i was kinda shocked...n definitely in all her yrs,ppl must have seen the example of Christ in her..and made an impact in their lives.It is also my prayer that one day wen God takes me to my real home..there will also be that many people who comes..not because of who my father or mother is .but that the character of Christ is seen in me. The only hope that Christians have in suffering is that God conquered death and one day He will come to bring us back to our real home.

Grandma admitted to ICU today

Yesterday night,i heard from my sister that my dad's mum.my grandma was admitted to hospital again.I was praying so hard the sch dun call me today as well so that i can visit her n the other grandma.The last time she fell during her sleep,fractured her nose bone and was admitted to SGH.This time 1 week after she was discharged,she was admitted againcos she had couldn't eat and breathe properly. Today my sister and I went to Mount Alvernia Hospital and was expecting to see her in the normal ward.Actually after visitation,wanted to make a trip down to my mum's mum hse.my other grandma hse to visit her as well.

However,when we got there, we couldnt find her, checked with the nurses and they said she was just sent into ICU(intensive care unit)We searched for quite some time and finally found the place, when we saw her..she was bed-ridden,unconscious and had many many machines and pipe through her mouth and nose and hands. Her hands were tied up to disable her from pulling out the pipe out of uneasiness.My heart suddenly sank right down.........................her heart rate was very unstable..her whole body was actually jerking..like having feats like that yet unconscious.at that time ,my uncle n aunties havent reach..onli two of us...we were so scARed something bad might happen.we tried to call her...even when she was unconscious.....=/ my sis asked the nurse if it was very serious and the nurse said yes. All we could do was stand there helplessly praying, look at her in pain....she had tears in her eyes..even when she was unconscious. The doctor came.He said she had too much carbon dioxide in her body and the exchange rate of taking in the oxygen was very slow that's why too much CO2 caused drowsyness.So was trying to pump in oxygen for her to breathe...heard tt they found out her lungs not good oso,had Puenomia. After that, my grandma's pastor came.He talked to her..and encouraged her with God's words...ask her not to worry..tell God our worries...God can hear..He is our shepherd..and prayed for her.I saw that she had tears flowing down.....show that she can feel something yet cant respond to us. Hai..

Went back to the hospital at night and seen her again.Her condition is much better..she regain her consciousness however cannot respond still..still under observation in ICU. The plc is so cold..esp for old ppl..it's like so much to take beside the pain from the machines.Wen we got there..she keep pointing n ask us to free her hands..cos i mentioned it was tied...to prevent her from taking the pipe out of her mouth. The nurses fastern the hands even tighter cos she almost tore the pipe away from her mouth..SIGH .She had to have the pipe in her mouth for her good..but she just wanna take it down.hurts alot to see her in this state.

From this yr onwards...during chinese new yr wen i saw this grandma...i could see from her eyes that she was very lonely. Of course her children visited her..yet not often enough cos of work..busyness.HOwever how much time had we got with our grandparents??are we spending too much time on work and friends and earning lotsa lotsa money to give them but nv fufill the emotional needs of them?DO we have to wait till they r gone before we regret??when was the last time we visited our grandparents or called to ask how they are??

It is God's mercy that He answered prayers and she is still living.As He is soverign over every breath that we take.

Beau-tee-ful song

银色小船摇摇晃晃弯弯悬在绒绒的天上

你的心事三三俩俩蓝蓝停在我幽幽心上

你说情到深处人怎能不孤独

爱到浓时就牵肠挂肚

我的行李孤孤单单散散惹惆怅

离人放逐到边界

彷佛走入第五个季节

昼夜乱了和谐潮泛任性涨退

字典里没春天

离人挥霍著眼泪

回避还在眼前的离别

你不敢想明天

我不肯说再见

有人说一次告别天上就会有颗星又熄灭
