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!

w/o love for pple, you can get out of this ministry man...
-2:10 AM
this was actually what i wanted to post on tuesday, but was flooded by projects and tutorials. =X
i believe some of you must be a little stunned by my title. But... that's was my conclusion after one whole day of meeting pple! Without love, you can seriously consider getting out of this ministry. This is why......
Today i went to Tampines to and fro for 3 times!
I went to school in the morning. [1st time] Then i went to bedok to meet yihao for lunch. After that, i sent him home (which happens to be beside TP) and when back to school at 4pm to meet dennis chua. [2nd time]
I sent him home (it was at geylang area, which is not very near!) as i wanted to talk to him about some stuffs. It took almost 1hour.
After that, i wanted to go home to do my projects. It was around 5pm plus. Honestly, i was TIRED- of traveling here and there etc, and need to go home do project. So, when i reached my neigbourhood, i received a call from alfon (who's in tampines) and said he just ended his FU.
At this point of time, i had 2 choices:
1) Go back home to rest and do project. (which is a MUCHHHHHH easier and comfortable option.)
2) Go to tampines to spend time with my sheep, and on the way buy earphones. (which i can always do tomorrow or other days!)
hmmm... it was really a hard choice. In the end, as you know, since i'm a loving shepherd, i decided to go all the way back to tampines!!!! HAHA! [3rd time]
As i was on the bus, i was laughing at myself. Literally! haha. I thought to myself "Who would do this man- going to tampines 3 times after traveling from there to geylang area!" haha. And god really reminded me this "It's because my heart for people is in you!" ...
At the end of the day, i was.... TIRED. And projects were calling out to me. But you know what?
In my heart, it was filled with so much so much joy!!! Though i spend so much time traveling, and tired myself out, my heart was filled with His love and His joy!
Think with me- how we do know that Jesus really love people? Other than becos he healed them etc, one main observation is that He spent majority of his time with people! Time was the gift he gave to people. Time was how we know Jesus love pple. Jesus could have spend his time slacking, playing games (at that time.... maybe marble? HAHA! ) and other things. He could have sent his disciples to heal the sick, cast out demons etc. But becos He love them, He wants to spend time with them, and he step out of his comfort zone and threw away all excuses he could gave!
Knowing that i've loved like Jesus (though still far from his Standard) really makes my day!
*Health-check: What do you spend most of ur time in? In people or in games/studies/slacking?*
