Hohoho.. It's still early for Christmas but I think I am slipping into the mood alrdy. Anyway, after months of doodling, I finally shifted my blog here. Of course Hui Juan tried and tested it first... Keke... Speaking of Hui Juan, not only did we shifted our blogs but we also ended up using the same templates. And when we didn't contact each other for one whole week, we were doing the same thing - watching drama serials! Gosh... As if we have telepathy...
Anyway, I finally shifted. Got tired of blogging through Friendster and was also concerned with the emails that Friendster would send when I update my blog. Dun wanna be accused of spamming! That's all for now but I will seriously try (if I can figure out the html text and stuff) to make this blog look better... Ta da... So, just wait lah...

TCC
Simply love the TCC at Circular Road (its near Boat Quay)! Its a double storey outlet and the second storey simply is fabulous! There are couches and beanbags and you just simply sit on the floor and nua... Seriously, there were people who slept on the beanbags and man, they really sleep! The snacks are wonderful and I simply love my ultimate hazelnut frappe. Its nice place to hang out or chill out with friends. Ambience is nice, food is good and a great place for relaxing and reading magazines. What more can you ask for?

Seizing The Moment
Pastor Tan preached the message of "Seizing The Moment" in the weekend services this week...
"To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven..." Ecclesiastes 3:1
Yes, there is always a time for everything. When we pass through different phases in life, there are different things that we are doing in that season. It is a period of transition and it can be something new that we are stepping into.
Then He spoke a parable to them: "No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, 'The old is better.'" Luke 5:36-39
You know what? God is a forward moving god. He doesn't remain stagnant but He always looks forward. He doesn't dwell in the past nor does He look back at the old times. But that is the problem with many of us, we always dwell in the past. The thing is, we got to look forward and stop dwelling on the past. The past is good but the future is even better. Old wine does taste better and when you try or drink something new, you might not like it immediately and you may start criticising it but new things are always better. The future is always better. When we are in a period of transition, we may not immediately like the new thing we are doing but that's because you have been comfortable. In this case, you have to make the shift from your comfort zone. We may take some time to adapt but isn't it always better? Start looking forward and seize the moment!

This is so true, isn't it???
Received this email from a friend... Does this apply to you?
Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world is in the condition it is today...
Funny how we believe what the newspapers say but question what the Bible says...
Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they do not have to believe, think, say, or do anything the Bible says...
Funny how someone can say "I believe in God" but still follow Satan (who, by the way also believes in God)...
Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through email and they spread like fire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, you think twice about sharing...
Funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass freely through cyberspace but the public discussion of Jesus is suppressed in the school and workplace...
Funny, isn't it?
Funny how someone can be so fired up for Christ on Sunday but be an invisible Christian the rest of the week...
Will you share this with people you care about?
Or not?
