Merry Christmas

I found 'In Christ alone' very nice, and I like it. I put it as the background of my own blog, ok?

pliz see 1 Corinthians 9:19-23

I do not very understand this para. who can help me explain it for me?

especially those verses:

22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some.

Dose it means that Paul taught us to refer to ppl, if they're serious, I become serious; if they're naughty, I become naughty; if they're sociable, I become sociable; if they're soft, I become soft; if they're genuine, then I become genuine...? If I could not become the ppl like them, how can I keep the fellowship with them?

If you get any opinion, u can write in the comments, or email to me: nigel.likes.perth@gmail.com

Last but not least,

Wish u Merry Christ-mas!

& being loved and of prosperity

In Christ Nigel

To Doug, thx ur card! I am ashamed on myself, I didnt notice that u already gone back to Malaysia. Hope u will come back soon, and cya soon! A happy CNY!

Down South Trip and others..

hello everyone..

i'm so sorry for not updating the blog...

now is almost mid-Dec d.. n results is coming out soon.. how's everyone feeling??? nervous? anxious? or confident?

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Phil 4:6

so do not be anxious.. juz commit everything in prayer.. let us commit one another to God's hand.. pray that God can really move the hand of the examiner.. haha.. as a few of us in our cell is hoping to graduate.. IF our results is good.. nevertheless.. we know our future is in God's hands.. so do not need to worry..

right now, i want to thank God for a good trip and good fellowship throughout the few days we went down south.. i guess is my 1st time driving on our own.. going here n there.. though not much of experience to me.. but in this manner.. we as passanger play an important role too.. what are the role? that's to keep the driver alert loh.. haha..

but i believe all of us enjoy.. am i right? besides.. i get to know other ppl much better too.. usually this kind of trip.. u tend to get to c another side of that person.. as what Anna said now she onli knows that i'm very "silly".. but i tot i always like this.. wuahaha.. juz joking..

in this trip.. there's something bad happen to me.. that's my camera.. the screen broken.. well.. how it happen.. i'm not very sure.. but to think back.. i guess i put the camera at the back of my pant's pocket.. then i sat on the rock when we were at Augusta.. i onli found out when we left that place.. that time.. my heart suddenly felt the bitterness.. cant really feel that i can enjoy the trip anymore.. coz the camera wasn't mine.. n is my bro's one.. though it still can use.. but broken means not good anymore..

i tot i'm those always happy-go-lucky kind of girl.. always can cheer myself up even though bad things happen.. but i guess i'm wrong.. may b i know i've sad b4.. but i tend to not remember those sad time.. at that moment.. i really felt like is the end of the world.. coz i know my bro sure will scold me.. but thank God for friends..

Janice kept on encourage me don think bout it so much.. right now juz enjoy the trip 1st.. i also hope to enjoy the trip.. n don want to show the sad face n let the other worry for me as well.. but at that moment.. i really can lift myself up.. but really thank God.. He's by my side..

after awhile.. what i can do is that.. i don want to use that camera anymore.. not even to touch it.. if not.. i might b sad again of the crack.. ouch.. oh well..what has past has past... right now.. have to earn money n buy back a new one for my bro loh.. haha..

next i would like to share bout last week's cell meeting n yday's sermon..

though last Fri, most of us were very tired.. but we still press on n went for the cell meeting.. what Karen shared in the meeting.. it really motivate me.. that is to live a spirit-led life everyday.. don let the flesh lead u.. instead let the spirit lead that lives in Jesus and in us too..

n about yday's sermon.. as most of u know that i'm praying whether to stay on or to go back Msia or not.. so right now.. i want to position myself for a miracle.. may b the answer is no.. but at least i've given a try to position myself in that place.. or else.. if i don do anything.. i guess a little chance also i don have.. hehe.. ^_^

i guess that's all.. really pray hard for good results.. everyone.. aza aza fighting!!! take care~~

n Wei Yue.. we will miss u..whatever your dreams are.. we will always support you as a cell group as well as a friend.. hehe.. take care..

Aloha~

God's broken heart...

today's sermon was good.. it really touches my heart..

it makes me feel as if my heart broken.. but God put it back together again..

it really makes me reflect back all the wrong doing that are not favour in God's eyes.. makes me think back about everytime i fell, His heart is broken again and again..

always tell myself that i shouldn't be breaking God's heart anymore.. but 'spirit is willing, yet the flash is not'..

i really pray that God can continue to hold me up and go back to where i used to be or even higher.. to soar together with Him..

kimmy

thanks

Hi all,

Actually I felt better when I shared my complex feeling in the cell group.

After I came back, I wrote down what I conluded during the whole day's reading of my theory for my assignment. I am expecting almost reaching the finishing line tomorrow so that I can join you all the lunch on Sunday.

When I finished today's assignment task and posted a diary in my own blog, I reminded that verse: For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you. (Jeremiah 29: 11-14)

Here, I really thank God put you here around me to encourage me by celebrating my birthday, adding into my sharings, and all your encouraging words. I just realized that, that is all God's love as He promised.

I hope each of us keep healthy until the end of this semester, get the wisdom from God, not only for studying but also for life choice.

cheers for the assurance of guidance and victory!

May glory be to God

Hehe .. Long time never make write anything already .. Wa ahahaa ...
Hey guys (and girls i mean) just want to share what came upon my heart today. From Wei Yue's sharing, and (i also don't know from where), suddenly i felt that it is very important to keep contacts with our parents neh .. I don't know why, but i felt that i miss my parents a lot .. Haha .. (what a guy right?? hehe) Partly the reason behind was that it's been quite a while since i talked to them, and i really felt the need and the feeling to talk to them neh .. Soo . i definately will be calling them tomorrow just to check on and see how are they.. Hehe .. and i just want to encourage you all to cherish the love ones that are around us ya ...
Take care people, and let's pray for Wei Yue as he is having his mock exams this week. Pray for favour, and pray for wisdom to be upon him. Good night people..

Lawrence

Nigel's Birthday 131006

Hey everyone! hope you boys and girls had a great time tonight! especialy nigel since you're the birthday boy! i did and the cake was very nice!! =)

i thought cell tonight was great with our very own HIRO! i just found out tonight that he's actually a very smart boy when he was in elementary school. he knew how to weigh out to see who "suffers" more if he got into a fight then. his rationale was that if he fought back then both him and the other person would not only have injuries but also will be punished by the teacher. and if he were not to fight back then only the other person will get both injuries and punishment! because that person "started it first" (as many of us would to put it when we younger) ahaha

nigel, happy birthday!
i hope you had great day today since you get to celebrate with you mom this time! and mom cooked you long life noodles! how nice that can be! may God bless you abundantly and may you continue to serve him with all your heart.

have a good weekend everyone!

oh and CONGRATULATIONS to weiyue who's getting baptised this morning (as i'm typing now) from now on, his name will be newyue =P may you'll be as excited as how you were when you first accepted christ in your life. and may this baptism brings you more greater things that god has installed for you.

*bear hug*
naryn

A new week

Hi All，

How's the sunday service today? I know that Doug missed it, dint he? coz I received his msg after 12:00pm. Why Doug, r u still tired after last week's struggling with ur assignment?

I intended to bring my Mum to a Madarin service church which I v contacted with. But my Mum doesnt want to go. She got stomache after she came here. She missed the Perth Royal show and my graduation ceremony. I felt very sad. But I am happy that she came and took photo with me and my friends when the graduation ceremony finished. I felt quite sorry, because I can do little things to help my Mum get better.

Praise the Lord, after my praying for her, she is feeling better. I continu pray for the hardest month: my studies, my IELTS and the relationship with my Mum. I learned that I should be more patient for my Mum's salvation, maybe several years...haha, but I will continue pray...


Next Saturday is Weiyue's new born, a significant day for him a. For those who can attend the baptism service, please help me say 'congratulations' to him ya. I will get there as soon as I finish my IELTS test.

Hope everyone of you rejoice in the Lord, and get unlimited energy from His promise and love.

love u all, Nigel

After SFAS

Hi everyone, this is Tz3 in da house :p

First of all, I would like to say, SFAS was awesome! I enjoy every moment, including the time we practise for our song. I would like to join the crowds although i seldom talk, and always day dream.
another thing, I would like to thank Lawrence to encouraged me by sending a sms. It is so nice and I felt I am energetic after I read the msg. I was very tired and I slept on the sofa inside the kicthen. HAHA... currently I do have same feeling like Nigel. Imagine u have been bz fo few weeks and suddenly everything is done, u will felt u have less thing to do, it is like... abnormal. But now I have to start doin my assignments d :( have to work out many things during the break. Hope you guys fully utilize the break in doing something which is meaningful or so called productive =D.
ENjoy the Break and God bless

~Tz3~

Search For A Star 2006!

alright, yday this hour.. everything about SFAS 2006 is over.. but is awesome.. isn't it?!

i was surprised to c someone posted in this blog.. it did encourage me.. really.. anyway.. i encourage everyone of us who went to SFAS 2006 to write down what u all expect b4 the event.. n after the event.. how u all feel n so on.. ok?

so let me start 1st..

b4 the SFAS
i cant really remember when's my 1st prac for this event.. but i still remember to learn Frances' move is not easy.. n she gave me that kind of look that her expectation on us is high.. but after a few prac.. i began to know what is she expecting from us.. n i also began to get used to the moves d.. hehe :)

when SFAS is getting nearer n nearer.. all of us were very worry yet excited.. coz i believe in my team - the Hip Hop.. many of us r 1st timer dancing on stage.. though i've alot of this kind of experience on performing infront of many ppl.. but seldom on such a big crowd n superb lighting.. so i really thank God for giving me this opportunity to use the gift He had gifted to me long ago..

since last sat, we've been prac everyday.. phew.. i'm sure alot of us sure will complain.. but i believe we can do it..

b4 7pm @ SFAS
was in the hall on Friday night to mark our position.. the hall is real huge.. reached home aroudn 12:15am.. slept around 1:30am.. coz need to pack alot of things for Sat..

Sat, reached the hall @ 8am.. did alot of rehearsals.. the coming in and out.. at 1st kinda not use to the stage.. coz is totally a different entrance n different flooring compare to what we use to prac in Zion Centre.. but later on.. we are ok..

i did prepare my lunch.. but didnt prepare any for dinner.. so i didnt eat anything b4 the event..

SFAS @ 7pm..
was very excited to c many of my friends there.. the 1st half of the event.. i was quite relax n was cheering all the way..

but when after the break, we have to go to the back stage to prepare d.. dunno was i too nervous.. i kept going to the toilet b4 our dance.. haha..

we were praying b4 our dance.. really pray hard that everything can go well..

when our dance is here.. i felt myself very nervous.. where i used to b.. everytime b4 i go on stage or do any presentation.. i'll b nervous.. but when i go out.. then i'm ok.. haha..

time was constraint where after the ballet, i need to help Frances to change into her hip hop outfit.. make me also more nervous d..

when is our hip hop turn.. i'm prepared.. n guess what i saw when i was standing at my intro position? i saw a watch on the floor.. haha.. n i was talking softly to my bro that time also.. haha..

when the music starts.. i was one of the 1st group that starts to walk.. but dunno y half way dancing.. when i fling my head.. i felt dizzy.. n ended up dancing abit faster than the others.. haih.. but anyhow.. i still continue it.. coz i know we cant show the audience that we did wrong or lost our steps.. n thank God, He was with me.. n i finished up the dance..

i like the finale the most.. where i can smile very joyful.. haha..

but after our dance.. i was crying at the backstage.. coz i danced wrongly.. n dunno y others also crying d.. may b bcoz we have put in all n that's it.. no more.. but i really thank God that we did well..

after SFAS
that's it.. is done.. is over.. what's next?
share it out.. reach out.. continue to shine for God..
though we had Search For A Star.. but we should Search For D Star - Jesus Christ..

by: Kimmy

Hi all

Hi all,

How r u yesterd nite? did u enjoy a lot?

How's each act? Do u hav ur favourite one?

I was at the backstage, the bad thing is can only hear but cunt see the acts. the good thing is can see our actors. saw them different emotions at the backstage. u know, I encouraged Sumi, the girll singing together with ZhengYi in the Drama, to 'Jia You' and keep calm. Actually, that time, I myself was also very stressed and nervous, hoho...anyway, I really learned and experieced a lot, also chanllenged my self. and suddently, felt blank in my mind after SFAS... probably should hav a regular, constant, long rest during the week break. and start next section of my research project.

Many thanks to Lawren, who msg me to encourage me when I felt stressed at study or SFAS.
Kim & Doug, u all did great job yesterday nite. Kim, although u felt faint n dint do ur best, u r awesome the whole day, n keep shining for God, and serving Him ya... Yi??? where was Naryn, n Wan Tze in this photo?

ok, wish u all make best use of the tuition free week. Laughing alot, sleep enough n regularly, catch up studies, start doing some assignment, n rejoice in the Lord!

to Lawren: is it possible that v hav some sports together during next week? e.g. volleyball a...

May God bless u all!

In Jesus, Nigel
