Gone were the days where DOTA was all about five heroes getting Dagon and ganging heroes aimlessly without formation or knowledge of who does what.

Today Cross Clan finally took its first step to competitive DOTA. Or at least somewhat of a first step.. All these in preparation for the coming competition. After playing this game for soo long, today I figured out that we still have sooo much to learn and that it's a whole new world out there.

However, it was soo nice to see that the team enjoyed themselves - drafting, warding, de-warding, all learning from the big that calls himself "xiaogergerx".. LOL! It was super cool to see that cRs is taking this compy seriously, discussing why they lost and getting their act together for the next game which they won.

Looks like this compy is going be exciting. Can't wait! (:

I am sooo gonna miss you... I am really gonna miss you soo much.. MY FRIDGE! Haha!  I just found out recently that my fridge is the same as age as me! and that is 21! However, it has been really surprising to see how long God really kept this fridge in working condition! and many many many more things in my household!

Oh ya! I LOVE MY NEW FRIDGE NOW TOO! xD



Here are some quick pics!

Gosh.

I

Today

Office today is extremely quiet.
I think the most happening event today so far was the NDP Observance Ceremony this morning, which I didn't go, all because I was required to look after the office. I was fine with that.. but just when I thought I will be holding the fort all alone, my two other colleagues came into keep me company! LOL. The NSFs today totally pangseh-ed the Ceremony! We just Rock. Period. Haha.

However, WE ARE NOW ALL BORED TOGETHER! WAHAHAA! This is hilarious.

Ok. I will go look around and see what dumb things I can do.

Woo! It is coming to the end of this week! Hooray's for the weekends! Can't wait.

This was one eventful week, something I haven't had in a long time, but alas, the main bulk of it has passed and the rest is just rest and refreshing all the way.

Brief layout of the week. *every morning starts with office as usual*

Monday - Rushing of Designs
Tuesday - Server's Night + Rushing of Designs
Wednesday - Presentation of Designs (This went extremely well by the way.) + Movie ( This is a treat to myself and Brandon I suppose, after all the hard work. GOOD JOB!)
Thursday onwards - Rest & Refreshing

Doesn't seem like much, but I am just abit lazy so I am not explaining it fully.
Anyway, I am just extreme satisfied with everything that happened. Yes it was tiring, but the feeling of getting stuff done/settled is just priceless. The server's night couldn't have came at a better time. It was a tough call not to go home and rush designs for the next day, but I am really glad that I went ahead with the Server's Night and BOY was I blessed. During the service, the thought of work totally just disappeared as I just fed on the sharing and I was refreshed by the end of the service, ready for the night ahead. God sure was faithful and He practically showed Himself working through me as I managed to come up with a design in less than one hour! And even had some sleep for the next day's events.

The following day was NOD Cohesion Day, so the afternoon was reserved for the entire department to go and have fun together @ NS Home Team Clubhouse, followed by a dinner at night. I went for the bowling event, didn't bowl, but just sat there and had a fun time chatting with my colleagues and sirs. I skipped the dinner and actually wanted to go home to catch on my sleep, leaving Bwong and Daniel with the client to sort matters out. However, I decided not to pangseh them and WOO! Praise God! She LIKES OUR DESIGNS! That was the best client meeting so far. Glory really to God. Without Him, I honestly think we couldn't really do something like this and even have favor with the client. So GOOD JOB Elements! It's only the start!

YAYNESS! so now the rest of the week just pure resting! xD

Not sure if you guys have actually seen this article somewhere before on the Newpaper sometime in June. Seriously, you have to believe this to see it.

The caption if you guys can't see reads, "A car collides into cyclists participating in a race in Mexico's northern border of Matamoras last Sunday. At least one person was killed and another 14 were injured."

Enjoy.

This is a really bo liao post, but it's really bugging me somewhat. And I don't even know why! I found it extremely suprising that the entire day went by quite slowly but yet I don't even remember much of anything that actually happened! Let me attempt to recall. Oh oh! My Mdm just ranked up with effect from today! From MAJ to LTC! Coolness! And I am very happy cos she is one of the best Bosses I think you can ever have in an office!

And the rest is a just                                                                                                    . I am starting to think this is somewhat of a good thing, cos I doubt I would wanna remember anything from office anyway! xD

Randomness FTW.

Ok, I think I am sleepy.

Hitting the Mark.

This camp really did the mark in my life. It has been about 3 years since my last Church camp if I recounted correctly and man, this camp just blew all other camps away. "And when you thought that this camp was awesome, the next one just manages to blow you away." that was what Yoshie said when we first shared about our expectations from Camp during one of server clusters, and by god, that is just so true.

Talking about expectations for camp. I can honestly say I went to camp with 0 expectations. It is like God wanting to fill my sea with his blessings, but I didn't even bring a cup. I came to camp with a very burden heart. A heart so burden that I honestly wanted to just use this camp to get away from everything. The months before have been like a terror to me. I was just feeling so useless, the thought that I cannot do anything properly and that I was a failure in life was constantly plaguing my mind. And seriously. That feeling just sucked balls. Then I had an eventful and painful eve of camp which made things alot worse then it already was.

But thank God that He is ever faithful. Ever present. Ever loving. In this camp He really loved me all over again. From the moment we reached Harris Resort, Coach Gary shared about not despising your youth. Then came Kar Yong's sharing about throwing away all consciousness about ones self and just being who you really are. Being real with everyone, and most importantly being real with everyone else. Then followed by the Benjamin Generation blessings and Pastor Keith's Men's Meeting. Every single message and sharing slowly lifted my head again, allowing me to see the fullness of His Love over my life, and how He turns my weaknesses into something He can use to move mountains and kill giants.

This was truly a camp that has hit the mark spot on, and that every message was a word in season.. Especially for me.

This camp is not yet over, till the next one comes.

        Something happened recently to me and its something that I could have never seen coming. I have seen people being warded so many times. My friends, parents' friends, close relations, but no way could I ever expected to see one of my own immediate family members to be actually warded in hospital. The feeling sure isn't the same.

        In short, my mom just got warded into hospital and had an operation to remove her appendix. Yes, though it may not be a big thing, but this "fortunate" event really made me realise again how precious the people around me are, and how much I have been taking them for granted. This all happened very suddenly, and i guess I just wasn't prepared for it, but then again, who can be prepared for anything like this to happen? You won't get any sms saying " Hi, Mr XXX, your parent is going to be warded and operated on tomorrow, please be prepared. Thank you. " Whats more, the feelings I felt at that very point in time when I found out my mom was warded, was very different from the other times that I have gone to any hospital to visit someone.

         It's amazing how different your feelings are when your family member gets warded than when you visit someone else. When we visit others all, honestly, all I feel is just this, " thank God it's not me or my family!" and all we say would be don't worry, God will come true for you.. However, when it happens to our family, we sure won't say the same thing. If it's something really serious, I would definitely be worried. Pacing the floor would be something i'll do. God coming through might even be that last thing on my mind at that point in time. My point is this, Our feelings waver. Which is why I think God reminds us time and time again not to trust in our feelings, but in His written Word, for His Word is Unchanging, Rock Solid and Constant.

"Icebows are similar to rainbows but are formed by diffraction through polarised ice crystals and not raindrops. The ice crystals are hexagonal and refract the sun light in a ring of light around the Sun. The entire ring is not often seen arc-sections being more likely."

This is a somewhat brief description of an icebow is, and boy was i so so priviledged to be able to catch the one that just happened in Singapore yesterday! Its amazing when God shows you all these miracles of nature that make you learn to appreciate life a little better everyday. When i first took the photos, i actually thought that it was just some wierd glare around the Sun, and didn't think much of it, but the article about it in the newspaper really caught my eye and it was only then that i realised i witnessed something really really beautiful and rare. Was really blessed i must say, and now i actually know what an icebow is! xD

    This just came to me that day while watching Troy on TV with my mom. It was the 2nd time my mom was watching it, but its the first time she was paying attention to the show.

  As my mom was watching, she just made this comment "Wow! look at those shield those soldiers carry! its so big!"  Then i said, "Ya! That's the reason why the soldiers have to be so muscular!" Then this thought hit me. Imagine a normal Trojan soldier, muscles and all, carry a big tower shield. OK, now, imagine the size of a soldier multiplied by approximately 7 times. That could be the size of Goliath. At this time, i went like WOW THAT IS HUGE! Then again imagine a normal soldier, then now imagine a small shepard boy, that being David.

    Now that we got the comparisons out, put David and Mr Big into the battlefield. Now you actually see the magnitude of the whole situation. Lil boy David could be crushed by Big Old Goliath anytime Goliath wanted to, but instead of getting crushed, God came into the picture and made all the difference. David won the whole fight with one shot from his sling. Talk about a miracle! Now I know I have nothing to fear, after seeing what David gone through, I doubt anything else could be more fearful eh?

Know Your Name
Matt Crocker
(2x)

The precious blood of Jesus Christ redeems
Forgiven, i'm alive, restored, set free
Your majesty resides inside of me
Forever i believe forever I believe
Arrested by a truth and righteousness
Your grace has overwhelmed my brokenness
Convicted by your spirit, let by Your word
Your love will never fail, Your love will never fail

Oh Lord You gave
The world Your only Son for us
To know Your Name
To live within the Saviour's love
You took my place
Knowing He'd be crucified
You loved, You loved
people undeserving

I have no idea why.. but this song keeps going on and on in my mind..
The lyrics just keeps speaking to me everytime i hear this.. it really reminds me how undeserving i am.. but Jesus still came down for me.. Even though He knew He will die in my place. I guess we will never be able to understand why Jesus was so willing other than the fact that He just totally loved us. However.. just the thought of that really warms my heart. I know i wouldn't be able to do that.. even for the person that i love the most in my life. only one word can describe this action..
