Progressing...

Well, I'm progressing to another stage of my life, working life.. sort of.. I'll start my internship tomorrow at a place that is far away with no internet connection.. (I'm staying at my friend's place who doesn't have internet). I'll occasionally go back on the weekdays and always on the weekends.. but that means I won't read and write as much. Internship ends February.

I do hope these 3 months will pass quickly and meaningfully.

All prayers are needed..

I've recently read an essay I composed for an English test in Alevels.. boy.. I can't believe I wrote that based on my current level of literacy.. I will post the essay sometime soon, for comments to come in.. till then, there's nothing much, not much lame posts...

PS: I'm not out of idea, it's just the nervousness that is making my mind blank.. oh yeah, NBA restarted a few weeks already..

New Addition!!

As an added incentive to loyal viewers, this Leisure Lounge will expand its operation!!


I present to you, the newest program featured by this lounge, Victor's Tag It Or Not!


A new link has been added at the right hand column to ease the visitation of that program itself.


From this day onwards, all tags will be done at that site and everytime a tag is done, a footnote will be added here. Only for those curious and "darn" free people, do visit that site..


Another addition is that we are accepting membership to this lounge. Do look for this


and click "follow" if you want to be a member. No strings attached.. hehe


Again, I stress, I need committed moderators and members to start an English FCC Forum.. We can't just start with no people being moderators as well as no one posting.. and frankly speaking, I'm too tied up to do so.. So, please, anyone willing to offer their help, do leave a comment.


PS: Let's do our best for building fund!

FCC English Forum

Alright.. polls are closed.. before I talk more about this.. I would like to take this chance to talk more on.... BF... nope.. not boy friend.. not best friend.. it's BUILDING FUND~!!!

*this blog posts onwards are more applicable for FCC members.. actually, the entire blog posts is..*

Building Fund..

Why am I talking about it here? Cause.. I feel that I have to.. not entirely because the church needs money... not entirely because I'm a church leader, thus I'm carrying out my responsibility... but because.. I've got my personal sharing to make here...

Faith Christian Center.. for me.. is not just merely a church.. but a center where christians who have FAITH gather together... and faith needs to be tested from time to time.. and building fund.. is one great way to test our faith. I don't know about you who's reading this.. I'm a typical student with a rather tight and fix allowance.. only time I have extra money, is when I get my scholarship.. normally I would give a fix amount to building fund from my scholarship..

Last semester, I lost my scholarship.. and I was really prompted not to contribute towards building fund anymore.. but on one sunday, the Lord challenged me of an amount.. that is a huge chunk of my allowance.. I was reluctant at first, thinking I should give a smaller amount.. but the Lord reminds me of this.. "All things come from God, and of God's do we give Him.." Many times, the Lord tests.. and only faithful servant will be rewarded from the tests and tribulations.. Rarely is there a case where the Lord blesses first, before a step of faith is taken. The reason is simple. Hebrews 11:1 says " Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see".

Thus, this time around, I gave by faith.. not knowing how I would survive the month, not knowing, how I could get that one thing I really wanted.. (my birthday was around the corner).. In my own sane mind, I thought of skipping meals, and not getting anything for my ownself for birthday... but the Lord is always gracious..

First of all, my brother suddenly gave me money from time to time, without me even asking! I would come home discovering an amount of money on my table.. blessings from my brother, and God. Another thing is, I got a present for my birthday.. which is worth the amount I gave for building fund. And it did not come as it is, it came with accessories~! (if totalled up, the present itself exceeded the amount I gave!!)

I don't know if this sharing would encourage anyone of you reading out there.. but do remember... every contribution towards the building fund, is not for our own enjoyment.. but for the evangelistic ministry.. who knows who would be saved in FCC in the future? Perhaps, that one person who came to know Christ in church 20 years down the road will come up to you and say thank you to you, not for your money, not for your contribution, but for your act of faith..

PS: A great response has been obtained regarding the English FCC Forum.. but there's no use wanting it when no one is volunteering to moderate and manage it.. thus I need volunteers to help start it up as well as manage it for a long run.. before I can propose it to pastor..

I'm getting a girlfriend..

Jeez.. like I'm really gonna announce it..

Well, few weeks ago, I had no idea what I should do during the holidays.. thus I have been thoughtful enough to gather advices and views from all the readers.. and just to spice things up, added the "get a girlfriend" thingy..

Well, surprisingly, 14 said get a girlfriend... these 14 persons.. really don't know me well. I don't purposely get a girlfriend for the sake of friend's asking, or for the sake of keeping myself not so lonely... If you wanna know my concept, ask me in person.. Thus, I hereby announce that the option to get a girlfriend is void. Thus, the second option, improve guitar prevailed~!

And since I am longing to improve my guitar already, the option "memorize bible verses" will also be taken into consideration this holiday..

Sorry to disappoint the 14 fellas (I like number 14 cause Mitsui is number 14 in slamdunk.. hehe..) but I'm not getting a gf for the sake of pleasing anyone.. unless something really did happen during the holidays.. well... let's see what God has prepared this coming holidays.. haha

Another note, exams finished, back to smart car and industrial training.. =.=.. I miss my final fantasy games..

Blessing

I'm busy preparing for my thursday and friday papers.. sensors being one of it, and manufacturing the other. Both require numerous memorization.. and all along I thought sensor first, before manufacturing, thus I have resolved to study sensor only.. but thank God, a day before the paper, which is today.. my friend told me tomorrow's paper is manufacturing, then only sensors on friday...

so I am 20% prepared for sensor.. and now boosting for manufacturing.. haha..

thus, do prepare for my absence for 3 days before I blog again. haha.

my apologies.

and do pray for me..

*runs off to study like mad...*

PS: This is the 66th posts, and to add a note to it, there are 66 books in the bible..

Faith Christian Center

When I just came to FCC, I was like... finally.. a church without any Saints in it... haha..

Well, being David Lee's brother, there are certain expectations on me.. cause prior to my coming.. my brother kind of let some fella know of the possibility of my existance.. but i bet I did disappointe most of them.. as I'm not as good looking as my brother... haiz..

Neway, back to the topic.. When I just reached, I had one thing in mind. I want to join the worship team. Being the brother of one of the guitarist in church, people had high hopes on me.. But, The Lord had other plans. I ended up in the Usher team.. and I did learn a lot of things.. knowing me.. I'm arrogant.. and I am taught to humble myself through the usher team.. I also joined one of the best cell groups, Howard's cell.. or better known as Ken Damansara Cell Group..
Being in a group of working adults, I never felt hard adapting.. moreover, I enjoyed every cell meeting I had..

Not long after I served as gamemaster for Koinonia camp... really an eye opening experience as it was great.. For the first time I had to be the security at night as well, with Nicky Ding.. oh... those were good times.. Next, was asked to be MC, as well as Game master for Family Camp, and then side actor for a drama... being ask to lead the security team..and finally being a FS leader itself..

I can see myself grow rapidly when I'm in FCC. Through alpha, i am pondered to think out of the box, and to get to know more on christianity and intellectual way of thinking about stuffs.. I do grow a lot here.. I really thank God that I ended up in FCC.. as I get to know a lot of crucial friends in life, get to know what is love, relationships... and I also have learnt not to be so rebellious towards God.. haha..

In a nutshell, FCC is the place where I was tested, yet God's grace is always there to pull me through.. and I did learn a lot here.. However, learning is always a never ending process.. thus I'm still in FCC...

PS: I also get to experience lots of new stuffs... and this shall end my church marathon posts...
