The Zone Concert 2009

Hillsong concert!! (+Say No to Sharks Fin!)

Last saturday was the much anticipated the zone concert by the hillsong united! Yeelynn, jocelyn and I went to it together for the first time in our lives! We really can't believe that hillsong is coming to Singapore at that time cuz its just so unbelievable :D anyways we had alot of fun and tears too :) really glad to have known Yeelynn and Jocelyn and to have shared such an awesome night together with God! Towards the end of the concert we were holding hands and hugging and really touched by God's love. All praise to Him!

The pastor was a really great pastor with a powerful message for eveyone who went. He was really funny and talked about Sexuality. He said that this is usually a very sensitive topic in everyday lives. Usually when people talked about Sex, we often shunned it. But his sermon was in such interactive way that it took away all the awkwardness of the subject. He also mentioned about the grace of God and how we can be forgiven of all our sins if only we believe in God :) We all have a past that we are ashamed of, maybe some of us were hurt before, ohters went through pain and suffering, humiliation, etc. But God is willing and has the power to turn our lives around! He accepts us for who we are and grabs hold of all our infirmities so that in His name, we are made perfect! God can make a beautiful affliction! Personally, I really need God in my life and without Him I could never have walked till this stage and blessed. It was just really touching to see so many youths standing up to God during the concert and singing praises to Him. God is alive and His words will never change!

We sang a lot of new Hillsong songs that night. some were new, some I already knew. All were great though! I'm sure everyone that were present felt God's presence stirring within us. I was really happy for the new believers that accepted Christ on that day that moment and that God touched their souls and led them to Him :) Jocelyn and I were healed of our flus too (that were suspected to be minor H1N1) and although our MCs were extended, we got well even before the expected date! I think God really changed and healed us that night. God is great!

Thanks Eleana for the last min ticket :) Let's continue using the pencil case together! Hahas.
Took photos but blogger is experiencing a problem again. Next post i guess!
Recently, there were a lot of tests and i think all of us are stressed out. There is still Physics test next week and I'm certain another test is not far away...

I chanced upon the Singapore SPCA website and saw what really speaks my heart! :



Cruel Foods

Last updated 23 June 2009

Sharks Fin Soup
The SPCA has previously written to the press to highlight the inherent cruelty to animals involved in the production of shark's fin soup. Other animal welfare groups have also highlighted the immense suffering of sharks caught for the shark's fin soup trade. Captured live sharks have their fins hacked off and are thrown back into the sea to bleed and drown to death. Finless and bleeding, they may also be devoured by other marine life.

Some environmentalists say tens of millions of sharks are killed every year. This voracious demand for fins has led to some shark populations declining by as much as 90 per cent in the past decade. According to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, some 18 species of sharks are already listed as endangered. At current alarming rates of finning, some may become extinct within the next decade.

Singapore International Airlines and Thai Airways International stopped serving shark's fin on their flights in 2001. More recently, in June 2005, Hong Kong's new Disneyland scrapped sharks fin soup from its wedding banquet menu after international pressure from shark conservationists.

Unfortunately, the consumption of sharks fin continues on a large scale. China's booming economy is boosting demand for the 'delicacy'. In Singapore, sharks fin soup remains a staple of most Chinese wedding dinner banquets. It has even been spotted for sale at hawker centers and wet markets.

Shark's fin off the menu at Fairmont Hotel
From January 2009, the Fairmont Hotel Singapore has ceased to serve and offer shark's fin soup to its diners at Szechuan Court and guests at Raffles City Convention Centre. The hotel aims to educate consumers on the cruelty involved in the production of shark's fin soup, whilst offering alternative dishes to customers.

Fairmont's Regional Vice-President for Asia and General Manager for Fairmont Singapore, Ian Wilson said "As we take shark's fin out of our menus, we are doing our little share in slowing down the further depletion of this endangered rulers of the deep blue sea. The power of each of our guest's culinary choice and the alternative selection that we provide can make a difference in the battle to save the planet's highly- fragile food chain."

SPCA was invited by the Fairmont Hotel Singapore to collaborate on its specially-designed brochure, "Make our Culinary Choice a Responsible Choice" by providing the write-up on the cruelty involved in the shark's fin trade. It is hoped that other hotels and restaurants will follow after this commendable initiative by Fairmont Hotel Singapore.

Those who know me for quite long knows that i don't take Sharksfin soup. I hope that after reading the above excerpt from SPCA you will change your mind about consuming them too. Many people thinks that even if they stop eating it, it is only one person's effort. But by rejecting it and not giving in you're also encouraging others around you and if everyone start working on it, sharks would not have to be extinct in the next decade! Believe and stand firm in a cause that you strongly believe in :)

HELP STOP THE KILLING!
SAY NO TO SHARKS FIN SOUP!


With love.

Bicycle Love. (Please always know that i love you more than anything else in the world.)

My 11 month has just past and it got me thinking again. Times change, people change, situations change, actions change, words change..Wad else can stay true and doesn't change? I can still remember those times when a bicycle would be waiting for me every morning at the same place and same time. I still feel those long messages that would be exchanged. When things are innocently simple. Where there isn't that much fear. When mundane things have not yet been that routine.
But there isn't much to complain about now. There are still long walks home. Ice creams. Movies. Hugs. Laughs. Love. Wad really is lost? Does it really matter?

Is it still possible to return to that phase? Or is it a good thing that we moved on?

I want uncompromising truth and unconditional love. I want to delight in the truth and love like how Jesus love.
God's love for us never change.
I want to love my God with all my heart, with all my soul and with all my might.

Today was fun because

i went to science centre! Hahas.

Took a trip down to science centre to support our school teams at the Science Buskers Festival! Woke up duper early in the morning for a weekend. Science centre is right down at Jurong East
It was pretty cool, all the booths there. This is the video on one of Nicole&team's exhibit:

Interesting right?! I was amazed. The product is super soft soft soft powdery-like stuff. I was crazy over it. If you see it with your own eyes it'll be better. There's still one more day (tomorrow!) to make your way down :D (free advertising eh! so good.) Jiayou Nicole's, Hafiz's & Chick's teams. Hope you guys get to the finals! :) And i liked the another team where they did the dry ice thingy. It creates a really magical and space-like effect like this:

I think you can shine colour lights on it and it'll be like colourful dreamy clouds swirling around! Mesmerizing, eh? Hahas. Once again, the real experience is better :)

After that me and dear went to walk around science centre. Been so long since i went there i was so intrigued by all the displays and exhibitions. Well, when i was younger i didn't know how to appreciate science and stuffs. Hahas. Too bad we didn't had a chance to go into the exhibition on Climate Change. I saw photos on polar bears! Next time.

Hafiz & team.

Nicole & team.

Beautiful corals.

Like a kuku.

Even sars look cute!

Unfortunately i lost my camera pouch while walking around and taking photos. Had to go and purchase a new pouch at Cannon Link (all the way down at vivo!) Won't lose it again!

Now i have to go and complete my homeowrk. Cant go to church cuz today's start at 7 and i must do finish my work! Roar.
