Funny thing is, when I work, automatically around 8-9 pm I'll start to feel my eyelids are extremely heavy, and I'll doze off... Happened on Tuesday Leaders' meeting, and Wednesday bs...thank God Thursday cg didn't happen...
Thurday work was considered quite slack, after lunch break, most of the people either sleep in between the shelfs to avoid being caught, and some chit chatted...
Friday, seems like we were simply paid to have fun...haha, Joshua Ong need to learn guitar, so I offered to teach him what I know...haha, and we just played guitar with his cg members all the way till end of work...hahaha
Yesterday went to watch 'Bloody Valentine', I was being tricked...I saw on Youtube that there's 3D version...I was thinking, don't tell me there isn't any 3D version in Singapore, and it only has it in America................... -.-
Today, went down for leaders' meeting for ushers, was support IC, and today in a sense I think I improved!! I no longer do a job as a normal usher, but instead I start to task people with jobs...Today's service was a great one, Pst Tan preached a great message, was quite impacted by it.
After service there's the makeup preaching test for the people who missed it the other time...ahh...I didn't manage to finish within the time frame...ahhhh....haha, but it was a good experience though. Be it for my first time preaching to a crowd, I think I'm quite happy with my preaching...haha...
Joined some of the people from NXGen for basketball...long time since I played again...had fun playing with Pst CK...
Took Dev's car back to Senja(Thx bro!!), chatted with Jia Jun quite a lot, he also shared with me the revelations that he had. Talking to him can really learn a lot of stuffs...haha, then from there I took bus home...very tired now...haha
Well, this is my sermon if you want to read it...
Loving People
In the world nowadays, people only cared about themselves rather than other people. Some Christians are also like that.
5 love languages
1. Words Of Affirmation.
Proverbs 18:21 – Death and life are in the power of the tongue. And those who love it will eat its fruit.
(The words that you speak can determine a person’s life or death. Give people affirmation when they need it, don’t be stingy.)
2. Quality Time
(Out of quality time, there will be quality conversation. Spend time that will help you get to know them better.)
3. Gift Giving
(Give them gifts that will really cost you something, and not something that you don’t want or don’t need.)
4. Acts Of Service
Galatians 5:13 – For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
(Serve them, even though they don’t appreciate it, and also doing things you know the other person would like you to do.)
5. Physical Touch
Luke 5:13 – Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately the leprosy left him.
(Even Jesus knows the power of physical touch, He can just say a word, and the leper can be cleansed, but He chose to touch the leper instead of saying the word. Jesus is willing to touch those that are called ‘unclean’ by other people.)
(Loving people is actually a commandment given by God.)
John 13:34 – A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
Conclusion: Loving people is never easy, especially those that have hurt us before. I believe some of you may ask yourself, ‘How is it possible to love someone that have hurt me before?’ Well, Jesus loves you even though you’ve hurt Him before. This is call unconditional love. Your heart can only exist one of these, love or hate. When there’s love, there’ll be no hate, same for the reverse. When you love people, do you look at their outer appearances? E.g. the mentally disabled, do you feel that they are somewhere in a level lower than you? Or the unchurched, do you treat them the way you treat your brothers and sisters in Christ?

Well, this is just a simple message though...haha.
