It has a super sleek and cool design - basically you can set up your Tumblr blog in half an hour (including choosing of theme/skin), when I can take up to 2 days to do my Blogspot. :D Trust me, its a upgrade thats worth it!

Living for your Dreams

2010-01-27T08:25:00.000-08:00

Hey guys!

I haven't abandoned this blog yet (:

Just that last week there no pictures!

But anyhow (: I was very inspired to by some other pictures that I across on Tumblr, which is a really fascinating place. and great for my daily soul food!

Remember last week's cg? We talked about dreams.. and how our heart needs to take flight, to dream that you can do all that you want to do. Hope you havent forgotten! I certainly have not (: I think about my dreams all the time, especially for such a season.

Maybe you've been hurt, disappointed, or you've never tried..

but NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD.

The sky's the limit!

You know how to fly.. you CAN fly.

Let His word speak above all the voices in your head and what people say.

Don't just live day by day.. Get a vision from God to dance to!

This is your time.. are YOU who you want to be?

cool, isn't it? the last picture is inspired by a song by Switchfoot (:

Guys.. I believe in you. Let's get some dreams going! I will be calling you this week to talk to you about your dreams, your visions..

Lets have purpose for 2010, and your life!

love, jing (:

Murder Mystery RESULTS!!

2009-12-14T10:21:00.000-08:00

What happened on the night of the murder…

That night after old Master Wong retired to the study, 2nd mistress entered the study with the kitchen knife but she was not able to execute her plan due to fear and the entry of Jia Ming. Jia ming decided to confront his father, because he knew old Master Wong wanted to bring 3rd mistress to Tian Jing to abort the baby which was Jia Ming’s. But given his weakness, Jia Ming was overpowered by old Master Wong. The confrontation took a toil on old Master Wong as well leaving him in the study suffering an asthmatic relapse. Ya Tou was all along hiding in the shadows, she stalked Jia Ming into the study. Seeing a weak old Master Wong, out of her psychotic love for Jia Ming, she suffocated old Master Wong with the cushion.

MURDERER: Ya Tou
(did u guessed correctly?)

What it means to have an Education

2009-10-20T23:21:00.000-07:00

Hi guys,

remember sometime ago i talked about the boy who build windmills and generated electricity?

This is another amazing story my university prof shared with us, and i thought you guys should see this! this guy here's is a REAL 16 yr old who leads 800 students in his "school"

check it out! there's even a video (:

"Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit,in faith, in purity." 1 Tim 4:12

love, jing.

Tour of the school set up by 16-year-old Babar Ali

Around the world millions of children are not getting a proper education because their families are too poor to afford to send them to school. In India, one schoolboy is trying to change that. In the first report in the BBC's Hunger to Learn series, Damian Grammaticas meets Babar Ali, whose remarkable education project is transforming the lives of hundreds of poor children.

At 16 years old, Babar Ali must be the youngest headmaster in the world. He's a teenager who is in charge of teaching hundreds of students in his family's backyard, where he runs classes for poor children from his village.

The story of this young man from Murshidabad in West Bengal is a remarkable tale of the desire to learn amid the direst poverty.

Babar Ali's 'school' has some 800 students

Babar Ali's day starts early. He wakes, pitches in with the household chores, then jumps on an auto-rickshaw which takes him part of the 10km (six mile) ride to the Raj Govinda school. The last couple of kilometres he has to walk.

The school is the best in this part of West Bengal. There are hundreds of students, boys and girls. The classrooms are neat, if bare. But there are desks, chairs, a blackboard, and the teachers are all dedicated and well-qualified.

As the class 12 roll-call is taken, Babar Ali is seated in the middle in the front row. He's a tall, slim, gangly teenager, studious and smart in his blue and white uniform. He takes his notes carefully. He is the model student.

Babar Ali is the first member of his family ever to get a proper education.

HAVE YOUR SAY

Everything I have and everything I am today is thanks to my education

Mustafa Yorumcu, London

"It's not easy for me to come to school because I live so far away," he says, "but the teachers are good and I love learning. And my parents believe I must get the best education possible that's why I am here."

Raj Govinda school is government-run so it is free, all Babar Ali has to pay for is his uniform, his books and the rickshaw ride to get there. But still that means his family has to find around 1,800 rupees a year ($40, £25) to send him to school. In this part of West Bengal that is a lot of money. Many poor families simply can't afford to send their children to school, even when it is free.

The 16-year-old has made it his mission to help hundreds of other poor children in his village. The minute his lessons are over at Raj Govinda school, Babar Ali doesn't stop to play, he heads off to share what he's learnt with other children from his village.

At four o'clock every afternoon after Babar Ali gets back to his family home a bell summons children to his house. They flood through the gate into the yard behind his house, where Babar Ali now acts as headmaster of his own, unofficial school.

Lined up in his back yard the children sing the national anthem. Standing on a podium, Babar Ali lectures them about discipline, then study begins.

Babar Ali gives lessons just the way he has heard them from his teachers. Some children are seated in the mud, others on rickety benches under a rough, homemade shelter. The family chickens scratch around nearby. In every corner of the yard are groups of children studying hard.

Babar Ali was just nine when he began teaching a few friends as a game. They were all eager to know what he learnt in school every morning and he liked playing at being their teacher.

Now his afternoon school has 800 students, all from poor families, all taught for free. Most of the girls come here after working, like Chumki, as domestic helps in the village, and the boys after they have finished their day's work labouring in the fields.

"In the beginning I was just play-acting, teaching my friends," Babar Ali says, "but then I realised these children will never learn to read and write if they don't have proper lessons. It's my duty to educate them, to help our country build a better future."

Including Babar Ali there are now 10 teachers at the school, all, like him are students at school or college, who give their time voluntarily. Babar Ali doesn't charge for anything, even books and food are given free, funded by donations. It means even the poorest can come here.

"Our area is economically deprived," he says. "Without this school many kids wouldn't get an education, they'd never even be literate."

Seated on a rough bench squeezed in with about a dozen other girls, Chumki Hajra is busy scribbling notes.

Her dedication to learning is incredible to see. Every day she works in homes in the village from six in the morning until half past two in the afternoon, then she heads to Babar Ali's school. At seven every evening she heads back to do more cleaning work.

Chumki's dream is to one day become a nurse, and Babar Ali's classes might just make it possible.

The school has been recognised by the local authorities, it has helped increase literacy rates in the area, and Babar Ali has won awards for his work.

The youngest children are just four or five, and they are all squeezed in to a tiny veranda. There are just a couple of bare electric bulbs to give light as lessons stretch into the evening, and only if there is electricity.

And then the monsoon rain begins. Huge drops fall as the children scurry for cover, slipping in the mud. They crowd under a piece of plastic sheeting. Babar Ali shouts an order. Lessons are cancelled for the afternoon otherwise everyone will be soaked. Having no classrooms means lessons are at the mercy of the elements.

The children climb onto the porch of a nearby shop as the rain pours down. Then they hurry home through the downpour. Tomorrow they'll be back though. Eight hundred poor children, unable to afford an education, but hungry for anything they can learn at Babar Ali's school.

More fun @ JP

really inspiring article about a African youth! He was only 14 years old.. nothing is impossible if you can fight for your dreams! success is spelt D-O-S-O-M-E-T-H-I-N-G!

love, jing (:

(CNN) -- William Kamkwamba dreamed of powering his village with the only resource that was freely available to him.

William Kamkwamba fits a lightbulb to a house in his village in Malawi.

1 of 2

His native Malawi had gone through one of its worst droughts seven years ago, killing thousands. His family and others were surviving on one meal a day. The red soil in his Masitala hometown was parched, leaving his father, a farmer, without any income.

But amid all the shortages, one thing was still abundant.

Wind.

"I wanted to do something to help and change things," he said. "Then I said to myself, 'If they can make electricity out of wind, I can try, too.'"

Kamkwamba was kicked out of school when he couldn't pay $80 in school fees, and he spent his days at the library, where a book with photographs of windmills caught his eye.

"I thought, this thing exists in this book, it means someone else managed to build this machine," he said.

Armed with the book, the then-14-year-old taught himself to build windmills. He scoured through junkyards for items, including bicycle parts, plastic pipes, tractor fans and car batteries. For the tower, he collected wood from blue-gum trees.

"Everyone laughed at me when I told them I was building a windmill. They thought I was crazy," he said. "Then I started telling them I was just playing with the parts. That sounded more normal."

The windmills generate electricity and pump water in his hometown, north of the capital, Lilongwe. Neighbors regularly trek across the dusty footpaths to his house to charge their cellphones. Others stop by to listen to Malawian reggae music blaring from a radio.That was 2002. Now, he has five windmills, the tallest at 37 feet. He built one at an area school that he used to teach classes on windmill-building.

When he started building the first windmill in 2002, word that he was "crazy" spread all over his village. Some people said he was bewitched -- a common description for people with perplexing behavior in some African cultures.

"All of us, even my mother, thought that he had gone mad," said his sister Doris Kamkwamba.

Villagers would surround him to snicker and point, Kamkwamba said. Ignoring them, he would quietly bolt pieces using a screwdriver made of a heated nail attached to a corncob. The heat -- from both the crowd and the melted, flattened pipes he used as blades -- did not deter him.

Three months later, his first windmill churned to life as relief swept over him. As the blades whirled, a bulb attached to the windmill flickered on.

"I wanted to finish it just to prove them wrong," he said. "I knew people would then stop thinking I was crazy."

Kamkwamba, now 22, is a student at the African Leadership Academy, an elite South African school for young leaders. Donors pay for his education.

His story has turned him into a globetrotter. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, an avid advocate of green living, has applauded his work. Kamkwamba is invited to events worldwide to share his experience with entrepreneurs. During a recent trip to Palm Springs, California, he saw a real windmill for the first time -- lofty and majestic -- a far cry from the wobbly, wooden structures that spin in his backyard.

Former Associated Press correspondent Bryan Mealer, who covered Africa, wrote a book, "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind," after hearing Kamkwamba's story. The book was released in the United States last week.

Mealer, a native of San Antonio, Texas, said he lived with Kamkwamba in his village for months to write the book. The story was a refreshing change after years of covering bloody conflicts in the region, Mealer said.

Kamkwamba is part of a generation of Africans who are not waiting for their governments or aid groups to come to their rescue, according to the author.

"They are seizing opportunities and technology, and finding solutions to their own problems," Mealer said. "One of the keys of his success is ... he's never wanted to rest on his laurels."

hi guys!!

hope you all learnt something from service (: i really felt the best part was at the end.. rarely these days we have a chance where pastor will personally lead us all in worship. lets learn to 1. enter into God's presence with thanksgiving.. 2. lets have exuberant praise & worship!

no matter what, attitude is the most important. approaching God is different from approaching any one else.. lets do it with the right attitude! (:

pictures!

baby dedication - Li'ora (Yi Lun's baby) SO CUTE!

(if you look carefully,

the 2nd couple to Yi Lun's right is actually Jessica's brother & sister-in-law)

CHC 20th Anniversary

2009-08-03T01:35:00.000-07:00

hey guys!!

hi my beloved w319,

just wanna pen some of my thoughts down about our church's 20 years (:

i'm so grateful to be part of this great church, and grateful to share our church's 20th anniversary with every single one of you (: for being part of w319, part of LYL, part of CHC. Dreams are realised, and success is celebrated.. i had many dreams fulfilled in this great church. my dreams of going to a great jc, then university, then to be a CGL.. and to impact lives.

one thing i know: nothing is impossible to the one who loves God. its an awesome privilege to be young, and yet serve God in such a great capacity. deep down in my heart i know that no other place out there can i lead and serve in such a capacity, nowhere will i be able to do so many things at such a young age - nowhere else will give me so many chances and opportunities. many of my friends my age has never been to bible school, never been to a single mission trip, never lead such an amazing group of young people. nowhere will teach me, disciple me to love God so much, to be so committed, so on fire.. only in CHC will i find great leaders committed to my future and willing to teach me and be honest when i'm going wrong. who i am today, i owe it to this great church.

many of you are still young.. but you've made the most amazing choice by being part of this great family. you wont go wrong. root yourselves, and believe. nothing is impossible to you.. no parental objection, no friends, girlfriends/boyfriends, school will stop you if you love God. if you're willing to sacrifice all this for God and fight for what you believe in.. God will give it all to you.

Matthew 10:39 (New King James Version)

He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

Matthew 10:39 (The Message)

"If you don't go all the way with me, through thick and thin, you don't deserve me. If your first concern is to look after yourself, you'll never find yourself. But if you forget about yourself and look to me, you'll find both yourself and me.

lets do this together.. go through thick and thin with God. for the next 20 years (: my greatest dream is to see all of you grow up and mature into men and women loving God, on fire for God, shining for God.. happy and fulfilling your purpose in life. one day sharing your testimony on stage.. i'll be so proud of you.

nothing is impossible, w319 (:

ok announcements!

Emerge 2009

2009-05-31T09:00:00.000-07:00

hey guys!!

fun weekend.. what a amazing time we had over our Mini-Emerge weekend.

For most of you who are really quite NEW with us, Emerge started in 2003 and is really a FANTASTIC time just for the youth! You can join all the exciting competitions and anyone can take part in cheerleading and Talent Time - its a time for you to showcase and shine with your talents, no matter what is it (: And pastor would preach the most mind-blowing messages to inspire the youth! We'll have sessions from morning 10am to night 10.30pm, 3 days straight!! We practically camp at church. the 2000-seater hall is simply too small for ALL the youth, so many of us will just SQUEEZE into the hall, sitting on floor and stairs.. I remember sitting right behind the sound console on the floor, cant see the screen at all! Haha. We would queue for like 3 hours, in the hot and stuffy carpark and with red & white tape separating the queue. It was a really great privelege to praise and worship with such a great atmosphere of faith and expectancy!

So what you guys experienced.. Its just a tip on the ice-berg!! HAHA but nvm, there will be greater conferences to come.. So sit tight and hold on to your seatbelts! (:

BTW I just wanna say a GREAT BIG THANKS for my banner and soft toy. I just look at it and feel so happy. You guys are the best!! W319 rocks!! And thanks for all your prayers cos i experienced 2 miracles and I know its not by accident..

1. A verse I knew very well came out (out of all 30 verses im supposed to memorised, which most i really am very unsure)

2. An old friend of mine, Wei Ming, actually smsed me the same night. That a few years ago, when i was just a young girl (haha i still am!) I explained the exact same verse to him after our cgm and we were also memorizing Word Power verses for Emerge! He said that its really very meaningful to him, and congratulated me on doing a great job. I was so touched, and I cannot even remember.. Its amazing how when you take the time to sow into people's lives, eventually it will come back to you. So encouraged!

So here are the pictures of us having fun at H.A.R.V.E.S.T house after service! (:

Don't forget the lyrics.. Team 1!

Our 2nd brave team.. whom I saved cos they chose a difficult song. HAHA.

And of cos, fantastic team.. with Esther and Eliz, they know all the old songs!

Being "Fishers of Men"

Liz trying very very hard.. hahaha.. it was funny to watch (:

W319 rocks!!!

can you all see my fantastic banner (:

hehe.. thats all..

love, jing.

Acts Revival

2009-05-25T07:43:00.000-07:00

hi guys,

read something inspiring on Facebook and decided to blog it down (:

As much as the presence of God is important, we need to create a fun atmosphere in cell group. Nobody wants to go to cell group just because of administrative requirements. A cell group that stays together, plays together, pray together and grows together. The revival in book of Acts time will come upon everyone in genuine love for God and men, unity and fellowship. Make CG a 2nd home for everyone!

Ronald Wong (A friend of mine)

Sometimes I really wonder if all of you understand the meaning of a cellgroup. Why does Jing ban the use of PSPs, earphones, MP3s, etc? Why does she always ask us to talk to others? Why can't i just be myself?

The answer is because... I want to teach you the meaning of a cellgroup that plays together, stays together.

A cellgroup is special. Because we come from different backgrounds, different ages, different schools, live in different areas, may think differently and have different personalities... It takes real love to overcome our differences, to forgive others, to be big-hearted and learning to laugh & enjoy each other's company. To know that to worship the same God means you are linked in a way that cannot be found anywhere else. You're brothers and sisters. You're family.

From the end of 2008..

Appreciation CG

To Easter 2009..

To now..

And last week..

We may be a whole big group of different people...

but worshipping 1 God,

with 1 Heart,

in 1 Spirit.

Cellgroup is Family.

"So continuing daily in one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved." Acts 2:47

love, jing.

meeting with Dr Nikko

2009-05-19T22:05:00.000-07:00

hi guys,

Me, Esther & Liz had a fantastic meeting with Dr Nikko yesterday, Tuesday. He's the great church-planter and founder of a great Indonesian Church. Pastor Kong really respects him as an apostle and a great man of God. We were very honoured to have him and his band lead us for a fantastic combined leaders' meeting! We sang really really nice indonesian (translated to english) worship songs and danced as a whole church, the atmosphere was fantastic! Presence of God was so tangible. At the end of the meeting, he laid hands on all the CGLs and staff and we really recieved a great impartation from him.

Just wanna share with all of you.. as I was going down to the altar call, praying with great anticipation and hunger to recieve something from God.. I felt God asking me, what is it that you want to recieve? and i answered.. Greater capacity. And later on, when Pastor Nikko prayed for me, i really felt the anointing, and i knew i had recieved it in the spirit. A greater capacity for the cg, the zone, the church, my school, my dreams, my visions.. to do greater things for him. to live for more than myself and my needs.

I really feel that as a cg, we need to have greater capacity. A greater capacity to live for God and not just ourselves.. to be able to care for another person in the cg, to look out for someone's else's wellbeing, to put ourselves in another person's shoes.. and not just limited to our own needs and wants. The Christian life is one of Christ-living, and not self-living.

And the only way this CG is going to have greater capacity, is through greater unity. We need to be more united. Unity means no one is left behind, nobody is out, everyone is in it together. EVERY SINGLE PERSON in W319. not just you and your clique, you and your friends, but everybody. We're more than friends - God's love holds us together. We're family.

Greater Capacity through Greater Unity.

You make a difference.

love, jing.

Fellowship CG

2009-04-24T07:14:00.000-07:00

hey guys!

learnt the real meaning of fellowship today?

as God is Light.. FELLOWSHIP brings you into light!

lets walk in the light - never be afraid of facing your fears, your weaknesses.. God is here to help and build you stronger. thats what godly friends are for - Amen? (:

John 3:20-21
For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

In other news.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIRLEY!

you're special to us. may you come back again and again!

love, JING (:

easter 2009

2009-04-13T06:47:00.000-07:00

HEY GUYS!

happy easter 2009! what a fantastic weekend - really feel quite sad for pple who missed it! this year the drama really answered some of life's most difficult questions..

1. Is love is really a choice? If Silas had been successful in forcing his daughter to love him.. will it still be real love then?

But God gave us free will. A choice to love Him as our Heavenly Father, a choice to come cellgroup, a choice to come service, a choice to serve, to tithe.. He has never forced us to obey Him - it's always a choice.

2. Do sinners really deserve a 2nd chance? Silas at the beginning says if a man can be changed, his past mistakes should not be held against him - but he changed his mind when it was about his own wife's murderer!

Doesn't that echo many of our attitudes? We may say one thing.. "I think so and so is wrong to judge people." but we ourselves could be judging other people. We live in a world filled with double standards and hypocrisy when really all it takes is a day's walk in another man's shoes.

3. Silas (Barabbas) at the cross: "Jesus, I killed a man - but You took my place!"

Many of us would have missed that out.. but that cry of despair really spoke into my heart. Jesus was innocent, but He willingly took our place, took every wrong thing we have done and forgave us.

That's the real message of Easter isn't it? Forgiveness. (:

Okay here are the pictures!!

Day 1 - Good Friday

we filled a whole cabin on our way to bugis after service..

i think when we got off everyone was very happy cos we cleared the cabin :D
