Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

Ephraim, Yi Qin, Qin-Qin, Ben-ben. That's ME! God have given me an interesting personality. I'm a sanguine, in another word, an extrovert. I love to be around people. Some people accused that i'm lame. Well, i do find myself guilty, sometimes. Of course, at times, you will find me in very deep thoughts. I'm created to be thinker too.
Sometimes i think too much and can be rather emotions-driven. Curious about my love life? Well, the love of my life is God! I love gorry, bloody and gruesome movies and thrillers, such as SAW 1,2,3 ; Mindhunter; When a stranger calls etc. Jazz musics are pleasing to my ears. Buildiing a strong and biblical guys group to win the world is my vision!

Are you effective, or are you efficient?
-1:54 AM
" 10 rounds," i told myself as i breathed in deeply, and dived right through the water.
3 rounds have passed. 7 more to go. However, by then, i was getting tired as i had exhausted my energy in that short 3 rounds. Suddenly, this question popped up- Do I want to finish the race effectively, or efficiently?
Society nowadays, especially in Singapore, demands for things to be done efficiently. 'Do it fast, do it well'- a slogon for singaporeans isn't it? when we visit fastfood restraunts, we expect the service to be fast. And what if our expectations are not met? well, simply pissed off! many of us should still be able to remember the MacDonald's '1-minute rule'. If our food are not delivered to us within that 1 minute, we will get a free pinapple pie. That's just one of the many examples that exemplify out desire for efficiency!
But when it comes to building the Kingdom of God, which is our priority, right now? Personally, I was once again reminded of running the race effectively instead of efficiently. soemtimes i'm just too focus too much on " do it fast, do it well'! I want my people and the group to grow fast, meeting more people in a week etc, that i forgot about building it right, which is the key! it's no use accomplishing so many stuffs quickly, yet none is done WELL! And if i want to build a cornerstone for the fututre generations to build on, i've got to build it RIGHT! I need to be effective more than efficient! But of course, both should, and MUST go hand-in-hand so as to advance the Kingdom of God!
What about you? Are you running so fast that you are already wearing out and find it so hard to contiune moving on? Or are you running very steadily, so much that you are way behind the rest? Answer yourself with pure honesty, and lets' grow together! =)
