meatballs no more

oh shucks...sadness to the MAX...me, huifang and weichen ALL conveniently forgot about our korean class on Monday evening...and now we gotta cancel it and forget about our meatymeatballs... :(

The weekend came and gone just like that....i cant remember doing much work but at least i managed to clear up the pile of papers on my desk that was such an eyesore for a few weeks already! haha...

Today's service was great. Had a speaker from the mainland China to share his experience with us. He was called Yang "chuan dao" (which roughly translates as "a person who shares the gospel in full-time time ministry") It was rather good as he could share real life experience of how Chinese Christians were being "bi1 po4" (persecuted) in China. (History: CHina as a communist country had a "wu shen lun" belief. The CCP promoted Atheism throughout the country and forced the citizens to not believe in ANY God. They had esp much problems with Chirstianity because of their determination and strong faith) He shared about how this chinese woman that was sent to prison just because she believed in Christ and the prison guards humilated her and tortured her in various ways. They tied her arms behind her back 24/7 and removed her of her ability to use her hands. She had to eat like a dog, go to toilet without cleaning up and she couldnt even comb her hair...But yet she stood firm and continued to have faith and trust God. Eventually, He provided and she somehow or rather could bend her arm (like what u see in those circus acts where those pple can move and contort their arm as if their bones were soft). She could comb her hair, feed herself and could go to the toilet. The prison guards were so amazed and shocked at the same time. Subsequently, they removed the handcuffs and freed her hands. Well, thank God for this testimony to remind us how lucky we are in Singapore to practice any religion without fear of being persecuted. =)

i just learnt a new song! Actually it's not very new la...it was written in 2006 by Hillsongs..just that it's new to me. haha. The title is called "You are my World". Love this song coz it sounds rock-ish but yet the words are meaningful. Hmm..i plan to teach it to the youth group in my church soon! :) [if any of u are curious about this song just click this link to watch it on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX36X1lTjiw&feature=related)
