In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless Babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save

Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From a life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man
Could ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I stand

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Cor 12:9

God's Love Never Fails 2010

You stay the same through the ages
Your love never changes
There may be pain in the night
But joy comes in the morning
And when the ocean rage
I don't have to be afraid
For I know that You love me
Your love never changes

You make all things work together for my good...

Live Our Dreams Fly Our Flag!

Sorry for the late post again...got addicted to tumblr instead hahas! Anyway this will just be a recollection of my NDP journey!(: These months leading to NDP 2010 have been the toughest yet most enjoyable period of my Army life.

Communications and Multimedia Committee

My NDP journey began with attending tonnes and tonnes of meetings, which is unavoidable me being in the secretariat team. This later transformed to writing reports, tracking outstanding issues and budgeting as well as helping out wherever necessary. When combined rehearsals started we had to sacrifice our Saturdays and get Mondays off instead. I don't think I'll exactly call it a sacrifice as I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the privilege of being there to watch the rehearsals every Saturday. And surprisingly, I thank God for the friends and family who happened to be free on Monday to go out with me!

The journey was very stressful and demanding at times but it's those moments that made being part of NDP rewarding. 9th August 2010 was the proud day for everyone of us in the committee as we present the National Day Parade to Singapore itself. Watching the show live invoked in me a sense of nostalgia and pride to be part of this country. This is really the only place deep down in everyone of our hearts that we can call 'home'.

NDP Fun Totes!

Now that the jourey has ended, I will never forget the times we struggled, the times we rejoiced and the times we stood in awe of the results of the combined effort of every performer, soldier and every member of the organising committee. The thing that will linger most in my memory would be the comaraderie forged with fellow soldiers as well as soldiers from other units and the helpful contractors through the course of NDP preparation. It is certainly a once in a lifetime experience that one can only be lucky enough to have.

I certainly hope that NDP 2010 would continue to inspire all Singaporeans to "Live Our Dreams Fly Our Flag" through both the good and the bad times in this country.

Combined Post

Nelson's Birthday Treat!

As a continuation from my last post due to my lack of blogging lately...met Nelson Chua (my best JC friend) on the next day (20th July) for his belated birthday treat...good to catch up after so long!(:

So apparently we went shopping for Nelson's new shoes which he bought from Pedro and ate dinner at Brozeit! Of all the things to order he so have to order the sausage platter for TWO which seems hardly enough for myself!xP It was nice though but I was still super hungry after that!D: Went for ice-cream Belgian waffle at Ben & Jerry's after!

Sausage Platter for 2 @ Brozeit...looks good aye:)

Belgian Waffles @ Ben & Jerry's! YUM!:D

Going Community/Youth Anni

Then after that came Go Community on last last Sat (24th July) where we went to some estate at Sin Ming Ave to clean one room flats! It was quite fun but I sacrificed one day off for it!D:

Went to Padang for NDP Photoshoot before this and after the cleaning I actually went back to watch the Combined Rehearsal hahas...cleaning was ok I guess...nothing exactly very memorable as the houses are considerably clean...only thing was the scrubbing of the floor till my nails changed shape! Went with zone4 peeps to J8 for awhile before heading back to Padang...

PL1!:)

Anyway had a good talk after CR6 with Daryl and Hannah at HK Cafe as things weren't going so well then:(( Hope things will only get better!(:

Sunday!

So came Sunday (1st August)...went for FOP for the 2 previous nights but will blog about it later as I do not have the pictures...and yep went for CET of which there were no Zone1 people at all except me and Jerry hahahs...sat with Zone4 people anyway and it was actually quite interesting compared to the adults ones!

Went for service after which was quite ok and then MENTORING...sat with J and S for mentoring and we were chit-chatting through out hahas!xP The lady in front had to ask us to keep quiet:P But they left me halfway and I almost fell asleep after!D:

After mentoring went for dinner with Raymond, Audrey, Cherilynn and Serene at this restaurant called 18 Chefs which is quite good and affordable! The only thing was that we had to go to YISHUN-.- Had a real good talk over dinner...wad a great time!:)

Raymond Choo Jia Xin

Audrey Cherilynn & Serene(:

Baked Rice

Went to Meet-the-People Session (MPS) yesterday to visit the guys! Some new faces but not much has changed(: Will go back more soon and everyone's still as nice but not the newbies though=X And NDP's gonna end so soon:( Gonna miss the stay-outs hahahs

Anyway I'm kinda saddened by the people leaving Bethel...I mean it may not be at its best condition now and they may be greener pastures but Bethel made many of who we are today (including the deserters)...we shouldn't be so ungrateful to just leave when Bethel needs us most:'( I for certain won't be welcoming these ungrateful, self-seeking deserters back when everything is over!
