Well well well. It seems like wordpress has changed its skin. Like the saying goes, a Leopard will never change its spots. Well, no one said WordPress won’t anyway. HAHA.
It’s been so long since I’m back. I changed some stuffs to it. Well, actually just the theme of my wordpress and the links of a few friends.
But on another hand, I wonder who actually still comes here to read random posts of my past? Ohwell. Shall head back to my tumblr for my thoughts. =D

Ahh, I’m posting. I realise I haven’t been using here for quite long. Well, although it’s just a week.
Anyway, the reason why I didn’t post because my posts are at a new domain I’m blogging at. Ask me for it if you wanna know. =)

Blogspot.
PROs:
1) There’s a lot of blog skins to choose from.
2) Customize your own tagboard, playlist and fonts.
3) Upload your own videos up on blogger.
4) You can change URL anytime. Provided you don’t irritate others who has to relink you.
CONs.
1) Editing the code is very irritating.
2) Adding link, editing information is never easy.
3) blogspot can be lag sometimes. Don’t you agree?
4) Some skins are suitable for certain resolution sizes only.
WordPress.
PROs:
1) There’s a Stats page where we can check who visited our blog by clicking which URL. I find this fantastic and I can keep track.
2) Everything’s organised! At a click, you can add links easily. It’s all found at the side.
3) Simple, plain themes. Who wants to crack their brains to think of what theme they want for their blog?
4) You can keep posts private.
CONs:
1) You can never change URL.
2) It’s too plain if you use for too long.
3) No tagboard.
4) Unable to customize your own playlist.
Tumblr:
1) Nice fresh themes to choose from.
2) It’s new.
3) Posting pictures, posting videos and texts. All are sorted out in different categories.
4) It gives the objective feel. It’s so plain that when you’re there, your attention is given fully to the posts. (What kinda PRO is this?!)
CONs:
1) You can’t link people.
2) Unable to set up tweets in some themes. =(
3) No stats =(
4) It’s quite irritating sometimes when you don’t really know how to use.
All in all: up to you. I did this out of boredom. Inspired by discussions in Irina’s recent facebook post. Ohmygeez.
I’m out of titles to put. Well, who cares. My titles never link with my posts. I don’t know why. Anyway, had fun today! Woke up at 12.30pm to find myself having work to be done in the computer other than project. Settled with Yong Kang everything and headed down to play basketball! Yong En, Xueyong, Jiajun, Elton, Brandon Ho and Bernard was there. Played till rain. Headed to Northpoint help dad buy marker refill. Headed home in my sweaty shirt to eat dinner! So..went out to “deposit” money. On the way, I headed to Northpoint to buy a cake for my mum at Bengawan Solo. Thank God there are still cakes. Four Leaves, Breadtalk had their cakes sold out already. What a waste. Bought delicious Blackforest cake which Theophila says she wants some. Oh well, my family will eat it away somehow. LOL. Too bad. Well. So at home, my dad say ‘Whoa, you really buy cake ah. Mummy saying bengawan solo cake just now” (in mandarin). Nice. Mum ate the cake and she’s happy. *Thumbs up*. Went out to play basketball again with Jiajun and Xueyong and James Lim. Played till 10.45pm, left for home. My eyes are closing already!

`God, for this week, I pray for challenges to come. Because I want to overcome them with You and grow!
Reading posts about faith. I realise that’s what I wrote in my cards somehow or another. At the very end. Well, I had the urge from God that we need faith yesterday already. So I included that. I was reminded of faith over and over again when I was sitting down at Ishi Mura. True enough, God never fails to speak to me. Although Service was quite cui for me, which is really ohmygosh. I still thank God for that meeting Sharlene had with us after service. It was all so true. We do, and we need faith.
We need to grow. We cannot cruise anymore. We need to step out and do something. We really need. I pray that this will be a wake up call for everyone, as it has been one for me. I really am no better, seriously. Ever since school started, this fire is slowing diminishing from my heart. This passion, this dream, this compassion, this faith. God talked to me about ‘Fire’ today. Having a heart burnt for Him. I’ve seen how the world has been. Yet I’m not doing anything. What nonsense is this man. Cyril, WAKE UP!!!!!
God has placed ME in Singapore Poly, in NorthF for SOMETHING. And I must fulfill that something that God has given me. I don’t want to do God’s work without God. But I want to do it with God. Help mee~~!!!!
I shall chiong project tomorrow! Razi, Marcus and Guhan. I know you won’t see this but if you do, Sorry that I didn’t send the file to Razi yesterday because I was too tired! I’m very sorry!
`God answers prayers to our faith.
Christopher.
`What was that name ‘Christopher’ all about? I need to ask myself.
1 Peter 5:2-7 (New International Version)
2Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, serving as overseers—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve;3not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
5Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
“God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble.”[a] 6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Shepherds Meet yesterday allowed me to apply and reflect over things. I was desperately asking God for something because in my previous ACTS, I said I expect God to speak to me in Worship and Teaching. So I prayed and prayed. And God told me this. Refreshed. To bring me back to why am I taking care of His flock.
I want to mentor, guide, and equip my sheep to the very best, to bring them closer to Christ in every aspect of their lives. God I pray, use me as I shepherd them with integrity and my best. Use me to impact and influence them.

Just thinking about this family, made me beam with joy.
God has placed this family together for a reason, and I really enjoy spending time with this family. Even if it’s watching a movie that I never watch before and am not interested in, I’ll go to spend time with the people. At the end, God will always help me enjoy the movie. Lol! Examples are IP man way back when Joshua was my shepherd, along with Sheepmates Nick, Leonard and Daniel. We watched this random show and found out that it’s AWESOME. Bodyguards and Assassins is one too! With NorthF last time! Okay back to the point, I really enjoy being with this family that God has placed in me! Looking forward to spend more time with ID:JC.
Today was a fine day. Woke up late again. This time, I was awed. Completely. Bus came, crowded. Not my way. So I went up the escalator to see the train departing from the station. I looked up at the TV which displays the arrival time. Jurong East : 6 Minutes. I was like ‘WHAT?! SO LONG?! I thought at this time it’s still peak hour!’ So I took on the assumption that peak hour’s over. I just stopped and was reminded that I don’t want to complain any further before complaining won’t get me anywhere. So I just stood still, and commit to God my whole entire journey to school. The train arrived. To my horror, it was packed! To my surprise, Next Train: Pasir Ris 2 Minutes. I was.. speechless at that point in time. It just came in so at the right time. Thank God! I didn’t expect that at all. So I boarded the next train to save the hassle of alighting at Jurong East to wait for another packed train. I managed to get to school on the dot. 8.27am. Purely awesome. Reached class, the lecturer not even here! Praise God! God has been blessing me so much these few days, especially on the part where I went to school. It has been, awesome. People, place your faith in God. Simple lesson I’ve learnt which convicted me once again. Stop whining, stop complaining and look to God for something. Just place your faith in God, commit whatever you want to do into His hands. Just pray rather than complaining. I need to learn to shut up and look to God more.
Headed down to Sembawang after school. Was on the train with Akmal and I tell you, the train was SUPER WARM! We were both literally sweating from head to toe. Sounds exagerrating yet true. Went to Sun Plaza, saw Clement going off. Accompanied him down while talking to him. It was great. Slacked at Sun Plaza Foodcourt with Elton, Sean and Kenneth while watching NBA. Headed back to Northpoint with Kenneth. He went home so I headed to Northpoint alone. My whole objective in Northpoint was to go toilet due to stomachache. The Sun Plaza toilet, see already no mood to do business. Waited for Jiajun. We planned to eat Laksa together. So while waiting, I walked around Northpoint. Met him at Starbucks and we headed off to Laksa. Awesome time of fellowship and eating. We both headed to Ishi Mura to study. The trigger to go toilet suddenly triggered. Rushed to the toilet while abandoning my stuffs with Jiajun, Nigel and James. Headed home with James at 10pm. Spent time with God at the Courtyard while I think about thoughts, and headed home! As said, I shall sleep early today!
Proverbs 11:13 (New International Version)
13 A gossip betrays a confidence,
but a trustworthy man keeps a secret.
`Tame my mouth. Being a God pleaser, not man pleaser.
`God I pray for courage and confidence.
