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!

teachers of the Word--- WATCH OUT!!!
-12:45 AM
Being the teachers of the word is really not easy man. God will surely test you in what ever that you teach. continue to stay tune and you will know why....I was teaching my group on thursday about 'how to love your neighbours', and the 2 main points were 'Love despite personal differences' and 'Love despite inconvenience'. God is really quick enough to act!Love despite personal differences....on sat, alfonso invited this guy who approached him at interchange for Flag-day. so on my way to meet them, i was asking aloy how was this guy. His reply was "err... later you come you take over. You come and see and you will know liao..." In my mind i was thinking "wah... got so bad ar?" so i went to meet them with a great sense of expectation of what is to come! =)When i reach somerset and met up with them, i was surprised to see a rather tall and plump guy wearing a blue t-shirt and black shorts. On his waist was a bulky looking pounch and he was carrying a backpack, being pull up to the max, and holding a big yellow umbrella and 2 newspapers on both his hands. The scene was rather funny haha. So i asked aloy whether he was the ONE, and he nodded, with a cheeky grin on his face. I went up to him and talked to him and in the end, took care of him during service. He was one of those people that really made me dun know what to do to him! during praise, he was looking around and even turned and talked to a guy visitor behind him that happened to be in the same school (simei ITE) as him. The people around him knew the visitor felt uncomfortable, but we/ i cant do anything! Cos he ignored me when i tried to asked him turnback first. But the worse has yet to come!!! During sermon, he fell asleep and.... he.... SNORED!!!!!!!! I tried to coughly loudly to just to wake him up whenever he started snoring. But it was useless. I almost vomitted while coughing! Then i tried to shake my legs to vibrate him. But, no use sia! In the end, I simply woke him up!!! haha =p Anyway, this wasnt his fault actually. Cos he has lower IQ and simply, he's slower than many of us. he's 21 years old, but still in ITE. Yet, God still use him to test me whether i can love peopel who are different from me. Well, how to i scored?.... I think i scored not too bad. cos i didnt really felt irritated or impatient with him! I was, in fact, very patient with him and really geninuely cared and talked to him! YEAH!!!Love despite inconvenience..."true love cost; true love hurts; and true love empties ourselves..." How true man! On the very same day, some of the East D2 guys are going to night cycling with a few transferred brothers to catch up with them. bing liang asked my grp who want to join them. Actually i wasnt very keen in going as i dun really see any point in going. And... i need to meet my own grads that have been transferred to catch up with them too. By the time i finished meeting them, it will be like around 11 plus, 12 plus already. By then, i will be SUPER tired. But then........ my sheep, brendon, said that he wants to join them. As a good leader, a good shepherd, i dun wanna him to be the only East D1 to be there. Making things worse, the bike rental shop closes at 9.30pm. This means that if i cant be there by 9.30pm, i will need to borrow bikes from my friends. The struggle in my mind was really intense!!! Haiz.... to cut it short, in the end.... i decided to go for both =)Now that i decided to go for it, i need to ask around to borrow 2 bikes. One for me, another for aloy, who decided to accompanied me. [thanks aloy! =)] within 2 hours, i almost asked close to 20 people just for 2 bicylces! Bill comfirmed explode! but i had no choice. or else, how to go find them at sepang bedok ( Simei ITE there)?! In the end, i went through a lot of hardships to just find that 2 bikes!!!! (shall not elaborate, but thanks pei chyi and wei xiong! =0) By the time everything was settles, it was already 1 plus!!! I was really DEAD tired!!!! And i still got to cycle from Tampines blk 864 to sepang bedok, which i dun even know exactly where!!! The thought of cycling there and try to locate the place really pushed me to give up. but I already promised brendon i'll be there. therefore, i persevered and we went to meet them up and for the whole night, we cycled from sepang bedok to Changi village, and then back to tampines and took a bus back home. Stinky and 'dead', i FINALLY reached home at 9.30am!!!!!!!!!! FREAKING TIRED!!!!!!!!! While bathing, i questioned myself. Why did i do all these? Is it just becos i want to be a man of my words? or is it becos i dun wanna abandon brendon there?..... Conclusion: simply becos..... I really love him as my sheep! That's why i didnt want to leave him alone there, and i want to be there with him! This was really one of the toughest test that God made me went thru to test how much i really love my people..........You think that's ALL?!?!....read on if you have the patience....
