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!

East CL retreat @ swiss hotel!!!
-2:06 AM
24 Nov. My birthday! haha. That's the point.
On this very day, we had our... very own... .... East CL retreat! We started out with a small but definitely not as easy mission. Look at the pics and guess...
trying to act cute? nope! that's not the mission of cos. Even if it is, i would have won easily, w/o acting! heehee. =P
hmm...or... is it trying to act like a complete retard?! OF COS not!!! haha. cos dennis chua would have won it long time ago! (joking haha!)
(left-right: esther, joyce, ying jie, me) --- we were the slowest at first. But ended up to be the first 2nd! hahaha! =)
(left-right: denise, florence, lestari, dennis)
YEAH!!! Believe those smarter one would guess it by now. Yes! We are suppose to be blindfolded!
Check out the video:
We were split to 3-4 per team, with only one person able to see. This person is supposed to direct and guide us out of NYP, and all the way till city hall, including crossing roads and taking public transport! Wah!!! Not easy man! haha. However, arriving at the MRT station, we were told to unfold our blindfold cos we cant wear it in. It may caused disturbance to other passengers around. haha
waiting for MRT on the platform.
while waiting to go up to our room, we were bored. So we decided to take stupid pics! Dun ask me what we looking at. Cos, i have no idea either! HAHA!!! =P
O YES!!! Forgot to say beforehand. We were all staying in a room at Swiss Hotel!!! WAHAHA! Damn nice! Didnt got the chance to take the whole room. At least, there's the pics below!
swimming pool right below our room! so freaking cool!!! haha!
before going down for dinner, some of them wanted to wash up and change first. And some of them being weird, decided to be stupid! opps! sorry! I meant, they decided to... be themselves! WAHAHA! Take a look at the pics and you'll understand:
Africa tribal dancer?! yeah!!!! WAHAHA! (joking joking hee =X)
and next, introducing, our EC bimbo:
ESTHER!!!!! heehee! =P
And of cos, there were some who were really tired: (dennis chua trying to disturb winstar's beauty sleep! tsk tsk...)
Anyway as we went down to eat, some of us went to buy tibits at the Peninsular Plaza, when dennis and joy try to act... cool? rate for urself... haha!
joy-to-the-world with her purple sunglasses! haha.
... while dennis had his orange one on! (a little alien-liked isn't it?! heehee)
and when the 2 come together, that's the ultimate one! hahaha!!!! =P
Having return back to hotel for some wash-up, we had a time to just come together and learn about something REALLY important--- LOVE!
Well, though it's something we often talk about, but it is really the central point and reason why we are doing what we are doing now! One thing that really struck me is that true love drives us to do the right thing!!! It is the motivation and reason we do everything! Esp as a CL, or any leader who is leading people have got to learn this important lesson. or else, we will just ended up doing what we are asked to do, or love w/o a reason! L.O.V.E!!! YEA!
listening attentively to dennis.
immersing ourselves in the Word!
After the teaching, we played- Blind Wacko!!! woah! was really really fun! Seeing people being blind-folded and trying to run around wacking people! HAHA! they have a lot of special stuns one lor!!! like people hiding under the table (joyce heehee); under the tv desk; on the bed etc! haha.
but after a numbers of round, something really dumb happens!
YES!!! Someone tripped over the wires, and the lamp broke into pieces. We were so afraid that they wants us to pay a lot . So we decided to pray! haha. CL have to be holy wat rite? HAHAHA!
all of us were trembling with fear haha.
In the end, thank god we only got to pay 100 bucks for it! PHEW! (as compared to the original price given, it's a huge diff! =X)
anyway, one of our all times hobbies- pushing people into the balcony and lock them up! haha! and guess whose the all times target?..... *drum-roll*.....
....... AH-BE!!!! yeah! hahaha!
So our nite ended off with us playing cards, watching people doing forfeit, watching me doing gatsby commercial, and talking cock till next morning. Of cos some of us slept. but i really enjoyed myself very much having fun with people who are not just fun, but people who have also really given their lives to God and His flock!
Some people say Cls have a lot of retreats etc. And i dun think there's any wrong with it! haha! Cos i truly believe that we need to serve hard, and play hard! So, just wanna say to all Cls-
Thank god for your lives! Whatever you are doing now is impacting your people and God's kingdom in ways you never imagine! So continue be driven by LOVE, and to work hard, and of, cos, PLAY HARD! haha! Jia you!
