YOZZER :Dof course i wouldnt think that i really know each of you well enough to write something entirely relevant, but nevertheless i hope that with whatever little bits and pieces of memories i have of the interactions i had with you guys, this post will be encouraging and perhaps, meaningful. okay hmm so here goes my part of it. in no order of preference (i actually dont really like joel ya!) JOELim really moved by your willingness to go the extra mile, always. that phrase sounds quite overused, but truly i think your heart and acts of service capture every sense of the "go the extra mile" spirit. sometimes its like as though i can feel how tired you must be after the long day, yet you never stopped giving your best in loving the ppl around you with your actions :) you love and care for others not just by talking or listening, instead you choose to translate it into actions, into practical help, into being there physically and not just morally or emotionally. in fact, the toughest part is nvr the talking or listening, but what youve been doing :) your langauge of love requires much sacrifice and i for one really appreciate you for blessing my life even though its just been a mere 8months. PEARLEENthankyou for always showing concern towards me :) apart from the possibility that i may be an adaptable person, your friendliness and care as an older member in the cellgroup are definitely crucial factors that have contributed to my easy integrating into HGT :) thru cell and working with you in bcm, i really feel very well taken care of. you always come up with suggestions favourable to me and try your best to accommodate my schedule & preferences. and i think the cooler thing is that even though sometimes youre like a bobo, i can feel that youre maturing in both your thoughts and walk with God. jiayou, we'll keep growing together :) youre almost like a big sister. CHANGXIANGguess what, i had the most fun time with you this evening :) like i said, im intimidated by you! haha nah, but your sharp wit and contagious laughter really make cell-group conversations exciting. one really awesome thing about you is that, youre just you, you dont try to be anything. so transparent, so open and honest. looking at you is like looking into an opened glass box, theres no unexpected side of you, like what you see is what you get; and theres always that willingness to be frank and youre just unassuming. i have a gut feeling one day i might discover the chemistry we share! NORMAN youre not normal at all haha. sometimes i find it difficult to fully uds what youre talking about, and i concluded that each of these circumstances will fall into either of these 2 categories- too profound for me to comprehend, or too low-order. but my guess is that youre a real thinker, about many things in life. my impresion of you is one who seeks to find meaning in the things around you and in the things you do. i think its good, because youre clear of what you stand for. youre sensitive and you care. :) thankyou for caring too. & i think beneath that boyish face of yours actually lies a tender and compassionate heart, so let God fill you more so His anointing can flow thru you strongly. His anointing can also be your strength :) DILYSits like my brain automatically matches the word "dilys" to "encourage" haha. i believe that its not just me, but manymany ppl who have come into contact with you in one way or another have been encouraged by you. besides that, i think i see in you a heart that longs for a change in the lives of ppl. its not the transformational change in individuals im referring to; what i mean is that there seems to be a burden in you to see breakthroughs in communities and lives. & i believe that to every person that you speak to with regards to these visions, you make a difference in that very life. put all your qns of yourself and of God away, be confident, and let God use you to impact lives :D URIAHuriah as i first know of is a buff dragonboat guy who cannot differentiate green from red. haha :P but youre definitely more that just that now. your soft-spoken and pleasant nature makes hanging around/ talking to you comfortable, not the least bit awkward or distant or detached. its like as though we're easily a family. so im sure God can use your personality to bless your friends. sometimes even 19-yr-old guys need a nice and understanding guy-friend, and i believe you can be that person to your buddies. seeing you during cell groups make me feel like the cell is complete :) my mind seems to have subconsiously conceived a mental-marker that says the cell is incomplete without you(riah). JONYUANbig one! haha. thankyou for always being nice and brotherly to the little oneee. you are one person who doesnt antagonize situations, you seldom disagree violently or make strong objections. i think your willingness to cooperate and accommodate others' preferences, on top of your easy-going nature, make you a good team member :) youre supportive and encouraging both as a cell member and friend, really appreciatezxz! the perseverance and diligence you put into academics and drums i believe will be honored by God even as you continue place Him as top-priority:) jiayou and i'll see your life shout His fame. WAIKEATreally hope that i can get to talk to you abit more! i read about your testimony on dilys' post and its really interesting. and i pray that the presence and reality of God will be even more personal and anchored even as you spend your days and months and year in NS. Let God lead you wherever you are: you avail yourself, God uses you :) alrightyyy :) tonights cell outing was great! cell group L4D! GOODNIGHT omg so late le. ;CHERIE

Homework? I thought I was done with school and homework and tests and all that kind of thing for these two years. Now to get on with it. Joel You play hard and work hard, caring as a leader as much as you care for others as a friend- while some may find your methods controversial at worst and effectively different at best: I find your initiative and daring visionary. God has made your life a platform that can reach out and connect with others on different levels, lame or otherwise. We cannot help but love your approachability and willingness to walk the extra mile. Keep up the good fight brave and fearless leader! Norman You above all others have grown, exponentially in my eyes be it in rangers or in church- the biggest hook here is that you actually really care. A lot. For a great many things and people, and it shows up as compassion, persistence and resilience. Seriously, the things you undertake at times- all at once is testament to God’s hand upon your ministry. Cherie For the newest member to the team you walk the talk like an old hand on the block. God has been gifted with many talents and your addition has definitely made the cell a whole lot livelier and dynamic. You’re a great combination of being revolutionary, full of spunk and having this bubbly passion for life and the things you do. You r o c k. Jonathan Through our numerous but brief encounters I can see a few clear things, one being that you are hardworking; which is a result of you being rather busy all the time. I can admire that spirit within you. Also, you have a unique flair that allows you to click with people, maybe you have not realised it but its there, your presence is felt and your absence is distinct. Draw strength from the Lord in all your endeavours. Dilys Like w o w. How to start- your life and ministry is saturated. The anointing flows out from you and your family, trickling down to every life you meet and inevitably touch. You are utterly amazing, don’t let anyone, or any circumstance even begin to convince you to think otherwise. You have a way with both the young and the old and an impeccable sense of duty, honour and justice. Continue to uphold what you know is God’s will and let Him handle the rest. One word: unshakable. Uriah You-riah! I know life can get really hectic and all that jazz but its great seeing you make an effort to be around whenever you can even if it means enduring physical fatigue or a heavy week. You have come a long way, so keep running the good race and fighting the good fight putting the Lord first in all you do and He will guide your paths and cover your back in all other areas. Pearleen Hello dudette! You know, even though you look like you always have your plate full I’m glad you never fail to continually serve faithfully in both bcm and cell. I want you to know, your family while seemingly a pain at times really are the few people you can count on and it is worth your while to invest an effort in building a strong relationship with them. You are a sporting, no-nonsense woman with God’s interests at heart, I have no doubt that you will go the distance in life. Wai Keat Yes la, change vocation already still so tied up- never mind that your new pes status has exempted you from a whole lot of stuff. Try your best to continue to come and fellowship with God and other believers. Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hope for, the evidence of things not seen. Continue to seek God’s purpose in your life and press on towards what is truly important. Hope to see you soon. Signing out, Chang Xiang

Joel - really enjoy your company, whether is it in cell, media, videos, l4d, guitar heroes, mousehunt or supper, you never fail to be ons anytime. hahaha. heart for service, never lose that passion to serve God in whatever capacity you have. and continue to lead hg2t well even though we may tease you a lot but you know we still love you :D Dilys - although you may be quite slow sometimes and make me exasperated but you're still a valuable member of the cell with your encouraging and cheerful nature! continue having that love for people and making it a joy to serve along with you! Pearleen - pearleen! always hear you complaining about something or another. hahaha but i know that you still do things with a committed spirit and always see things through to the end such that it gets done properly. although i don't talk to you very much, i appreciate the feedback you give to me regarding my guitar playing! encourage one another, and build each other up! up up up up up up up up up up! Jonyuan - you always disappear oneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. but nevermind i still love you haha. you're always there to lift up the atmosphere when it gets too heavy. dont forsake the assembly of the saints ah! hope to see you more often twinnie! Cherie - you're quite creative, and always have a lot of ideas to bring up to the cell, this makes things a lot more interesting! hahaha. and you didn't have a problem integrating into the cell, i thought that was really cool :D continue to be a fresh inspiration in whatever you do! Chang Xiang - hey hey you you i don't like your army hahahah. sometimes i miss your wise-guy-cracks. but sometimes i dont. HAHAH KIDDING. yeah your wittiness brings laughter to me sometimes, and i really appreciate your presence when you do appear. haha! continue to be faithful in the lord okay! Wai Keat - hey man, don't really see you much sometimes but really glad you made an effort to come down for youth anni even though you had to go off early! your actions show to everyone that you're indeed committed, and hope to see you a lot more after army is done, and waiting to see you join a ministry! :D Uriah - oh man, you're so fit, can do all the logistics for youth anni next time. we sure need your biceps.

hey guys lets try something new to this blog! lets write something about each and every member of HG2-T ok? in thsi way we can edify others and also build each other up, as wonderful HG2-Tians! ok lets get everybody to write and comment! its gonna be fun! :D i'll start! please indicate your who you are ok? if you forgot the password please tell me, i'll give it to you! and please do not talk about yourself k? and the order is not by merit, i love you guys all the same! :D Joel - ME Dilys - Since she was the one who gave me this idea, i'll start with her! ok dilys is a bubbly person that never fails to bring people their smiles! many a time i have to bring her down to earth once in a while. a creature that brings forth much mirth because of her innate ability to do stupid things and not even knowing, even though how much she claims to have "improved". :D but most of all she is a very helpful person that always tried to reduce my workload and most of all always ready to avail herself to others who need her. so kudos to dilys for her heart and hard work to the cell group! :D:D:D Norman - is a very impressive piece of work! his heart for serving knows no boundaries, and even though he could reject almost half the shit that comes his way, still he chose to do it with a smiling face and a committed spirit! sometimes i think he learned from me all this and then he made it his own haha! but still i cannot fault him because it takes much diligence to pull it off and since he's my cell member and what i want to see in my members is that they outshine me! so continue to shine for God! :D:D:D:D Pearleen - is a real person, in every sense of the word. If you scratch her back, she'll purr and scratch yours until you shiok.. hahaha.. but still she is a nice and amiable person who takes the time out to make others feel welcome when they feel like an outsider, and i'm not talking about the newcomers. anyone! i've heard good stories from BCM people telling how she can commit for one month to do whatever at a go, albeit complaining. she is the kind of person that will give you 5 solutions to a problem and help out immensely! so good job and keep it up! :D:D:D:D:D Jon Yuan - jon yuan the very nice person! although you kept pangsehing me a lot of things, you still tried your best to try to come and help and bring joy into the cell group, and always bring out something new to surprise us! continue to keep your faith in God and have fun in your job and give me discount! :D:D:D Cherie - Chua! you are a little unpredictable ball of fire, and i can say that you synced well with the rest of the cell quite seamlessly! as i gotten to know you more i can see that you are very obedient even though you may not want to do whatever that i asked you to do. :D its a good thing! continue to remain steadfast with God and always remain obedient to Him! and also remain obedient to His ordained shepherd for you (me). :D:D:D:D Chang Xiang - my very MIA assistant! remember i told you i'm going to allow you to throw in your ideas for the cell, or something to taht degree! but the army has taken so much of your time (of course without your permission) but i can still see the fire for God burning in you! so keep that fire going and i'll be waiting for you to come back proper! 4 more months! jia you! :D:D:D Wai Keat - is a very helpful person! he is also very thoughtful and always tries his best in everything that he does! even stuffing marshmallows into his mouth! you are certainly a very "on" person and i know that you can go far with this attitude! keep your faith with God and always remain in His grace! :D:D:D Uriah - my fit zai! when you come for cell group it always promises to bring up the cell in more ways than one! and i can see your dedication to come for services even though i know you have your damn siong cca training on sundays! but fret not! the training will end but the church will never end! so jia you and keep your faith with God! :D:D:D:D there you go! now start the ball rolling!!!! :D:D:D:D
