20th February!

Hamzah was super super nice. Told us stories :D The wonders of Singapore, and theatre studies is v. interesting. HAHA. One assignment was to go shopping for 3 hours, zomg! And during an exam, the theatre study kids had to watch a Kylie Minogue video, while sharing the lecture theatre with the Econs students, poor them! HAHA.


And he wants us our facial expressions to be like that of Beyonce in Diva. Erm =/ No comment :D Paid $100 for the costumes, $50 for Kaela. Cheer up kiddo. Yep, so H cleaned up Britney. Haha quite cool. Though Daph and Anne and Kaela weren't here, Sigh.


Yep. So had a pretty good day :D More on alien-ation. Yeah.


21st February, Saturday.
Okay, sooo here, I shall post about my take aways from Fusion! I'll post the technicalities of my day on Fusion, which was really, the social aspect, the non-reflective-listing-our-what-i-did -today usual :D

So the first sermon I attended, by Rev. Dr Gordon Wong, was about Destiny, and about God's plan for us, etc. Yep, so we were in the book of Galations and then there were jumbled words on the screen, and David Ong Mr Legacy was one of the guys to shoot up and unjumble the words. What did he say...? I forgot. Haha :D


Yeah, Worship was super duper awesome, I mean, its not because of the songs that Planetshakers sing and etc, you know, most people were at Fusion for the Planet Shakers. But what I liked about them was that they really really connected with God, and got us all jumping in the joy of the Lord during worship. It was just really one of the first time I was doing that. It just broke through all self conciousness and really let it out and all.


K, after the "Destiny" talk, Reps from the different Methodist zones, East, West and Central, came out to share their testimonies about how God helped their church to grow. The guy, i think Bobby from Wesley is a really really really good speaker, powerful prayer warrior, I was so blessed to hear him speak. And then we were asked to pray for different church zones, so PLMC is in the East, so we were one of the first on our feet. Yep, had to stand up and have all the others stretch out their hands to pray for us.


there were only 7 of us from TNG at the 12 pm slot. Alison, Me, Brother David(Ong)! AHAHA, Nat Koh, Joann Ong, Joaquim and Amos. Yep. And it was funny because other congregations came together and sat together, whereas we were kinda split up. Hahah :D

But anyway, it was really good to see people we didn't know praying for us. Mmhmm. So then the other zones stood up, and it opened my eyes to see how really, God's working in our denomination, the Methodists. And I guess I'm really thankful for Fusion, because we never really have any other chance to come in touch with the other youths, and get together and pray and stuff.

Yep, so there was this point where Rev. Wong asked us to go pray for people we didn't know. So the girls sitting in front of us, Kristen and Eunice turned around, and I started prayer. They were nice. Eunice was from Wesley. They were from SCGS, and finished their swimming. It was really cool la (: Because though we don't really know each other, its just like well, we're sisters. Know what I mean?

Yes, but before prayer, there were two songs that Rev Wong shared, it was nice cuz i knew those songs, and could really pay fuller attention to the lyrics. Reggie(?) led Who Am I (which was just a reminder for those of us who feel so alone, and abandoned, that God predestined us to be part of his family) and... Made to Worship by Chris Tomlin.


And I was reminded that, yes, the Methodists are really the power worship people. I notice almost everyone can sing really well. (: K so after our break, Jamie joined us.

3pm Message was REALLY REALLY REALLY AWESOME. Pastor Joseph Chean is just really good. Fusion picked the BEST speakers, which is seriously GREAT (: Because though I was sleepy, I was still able to perk up and grasp the concept of the messages, despite my fairly short attention span.

Joseph Chean had a extremely interesting lifestory, and it's just so great for him because God was just so strong in his life. And I was thinking, almost all the strongest people of the faith, once turned their back on God, but the power of God just keeps fuelling them to come home runing to Him. Like the prodicle son who wasted his father's wealth. I think it was covered before, that we turn our backs, and then come back running to Jesus. I know Rachel asked this question before. Hope this answers it.

Yep, God led Pr Chean a really long way. He was sold as a baby, and found this out a month before his 'O's. He was a chinese educated guy in ACS, and obviously, got laughed upon, also being underweight. Qian Jing Lun! Money rolling :OOOO Yeah, but there was this section where he gave us this reflection paper, (I could have sworn Janella Fum, and if she were reading this now, I think she'd freak out because i've only seen her photos, since Rachel Yap,CA and Dahlberg talk about her alot.)


ANYWAY. Yep, we got this sheet, one side said "Die For" the other said "Die To"
The "Die For" side was really to get us thinking about what we would want to be remembered for, which was quite thing to think about when you're this young. And "Die To" was for the bit about which part of your flesh you intend to surrender. Quite alot to mull over. And because it was an awakening, really. Because when else are you ever going to think of your death?


God gives, God takes. Yes he does. He has his reasons, (I hope the right person's reading this). But God is merciful. He is gracious. They showed a video of Eliot Hartman Mooney, and it seriously gets your mind on track, that God IS gracious, and that he wants us to make the most of our time on earth, plus he shows us to treasure everything we've got.



"99 balloons, each one so beautiful, but gone so quickly, just like the days of his life"

And Pr Chean also mentioned that with death, there comes resurrection and life. (Yes i do hope you're reading this) So we were on our knees, praying before the cross, literally. And it was just really cool to see all of us just surrendering to the work of His hands.

Mmhmm.

The 7pm segment was TOTALLY CROWDED! Yay so many TNGers showed up. Saw many familiar faces =DD and we proceeded to the auditorium for worship, but it was too crowded, so we went upstairs. Wow, the entire hall was trembling lur! So awesome :D Though the Planet shakers repeated the same songs like 4 times, it was just as great. Stupendous! ((:


This time, Pr Matt Fielder preached. He's really entertaining, and he really paints a picture from youth's point of view. Yes. His sermon was about declaration, PASSIONATE PEOPLE WORSHIP RADICALLY! indeed, indeed (: WHOOO!


Fusion was toadally orrshum!

There's freedom in the name of Jesus!



RISING! I FEEL MY HEART RISING!
All majesty, to the God of all creation!
All majesty, to the God of all generations!
