Ok this is way overdue by 5 days as i’m super busy this week.

But I wanna thank my friends who joined me for dinner at Hualixuan Illuma last sunday.

You guys are:

Pastor Paul and Gary

My most happening cell 2.2: Kim Siong, Cheryl Lek, Chermaine Lek, Sue yann, Avis, Jun Lin, Wilson Low, Daniel

The most macho brotherhood: Jeremy Chin, Xiaoming, Nic, Yunhe, Shazni,Junwei

And last but not least, Mr Cheng Yinghui for working that day as our waiter serving us..many thanks to you!(You should have taken leave man!)

Also, special thanks goes to Wilson Low, Kim Siong and Nic Lee for conspiring and smashing the cake at my face.

Many thanks also to the many who FB-ed or smsed to wish me Happy Bday, as well as the cards that I received. You guys know who you are..:-)

And also, happy bday Julianna Tan!We share the most happening birth date together with Ruiping and Julius Caesar.

You guys are awesome, and I want to say how much I value you all in my life because God placed you there. Some of you I have known since the first day I stepped into church (Pst Paul and Gary), while for  some of the rest of you guys(XM,Jeremy,Junwei) I’ve had the privilege of caring and shepherding you champions since day 1, and it’s amazing how different you all are now from the time I first knew you!Indeed God is still in the business of transforming lives, so keep loving Him yea?

On a last note, I would like to dedicate a song that has been on my mind for some time to you all. It’s called Mountain Of God, by Third Day. Pretty old song, but I absolutely liked listening again, because it speaks volumes personally of how far God has brought me in life, and preserved me even through the darkest times as a Christian when at times, I thought I was alone and  forsaken. And it’s because of such friends like you who pop-up at such unexpected times in my life hat really makes a difference,with all that encouragement, prayers and support! Let’s keep climbing the mountain of God together in the time to come. No halfways! yea?

Thought that I was all alone
Broken and afraid
But You were there with me
Yes, You were there with me

And I didn’t even know
That I had lost my way
But You were there with me
Yes, You were there with me

‘Til You opened up my eyes
I never knew
That I couldn’t ever make it
Without You

Even though the journey’s long
And I know the road is hard
Well, the One who’s gone before me
He will help me carry on
After all that I’ve been through
Now I realize the truth
That I must go through the valley
To stand upon the mountain of God

As I travel on the road
That You have lead me down
You are here with me
Yes, You are here with me
I have need for nothing more
Oh, now that I have found
That You are here with me
Yes, You are here with me

I confess from time to time
I lose my way
But You are always there
To bring me back again

Sometimes I think of where it is I’ve come from
And the things I’ve left behind
But of all I’ve had, what I possessed
Nothing can quite compare
With what’s in front of me
With what’s in front of me
