December 28, 2008 TODAY Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 4:48 AM lim kai sheng came to me in the midst of me making some decisions and told me that arsenal drew aston villa. awww crap... apparently i found out that liverpool won big so yeah. i can't argue my way. haha but then still, ks is my bro. hahahaha this feels juvenile but then i grew up saying such things about him and many other people. once i remembered he came to me on 2 occasions. first time, he came and said, "he ain't heavy, he's my bro". he was pretty inspired by Band of Brothers or something like that and he kept using that phrase for about a month. second time, this was back in henderson and i was on the 4th storey, i remembered i came out of a meeting and he had just ended worship rehearsal. i knew nuts about what happened during rehearsal. when i opened the door to the stairs ks was there and he run to me and gave me a huge hug and seconds later he was crying. He told me he was frustrated he wasn't breaking through in his drums. But look at him TODAY. man... i remember those times. in fact not just him but with everybody. like what Pastor Lia shared today during zone f service. yes yes, the future is in today... we have to love today, increase the value of our day and have a great attitude towards today. as Pastor Lia preached she came to a point she mentioned how she took a day to internalize the goodness of God and of course she described all the things she did. THAT was so so good. 2008 is coming to an end and yeah, God is truly amazing and good. 2009 will be more amazing with Pastors and the team. I'm just so excited. Let me take a day and internalize and meditate on the goodness of God. ahahaha man i cannot believe i grew up in this church. it used to be so small. we were a small church in our well doing our own thing. see things today was so amazing. we love our mundane life and let's attack each day. make it special and sweet and increase it's value. don't take the backseat. significance is found today. purpose is found today. wow today was so so refreshing. have you ever felt this way before? hahaha gdnight & gdbye December 27, 2008 AND... a merry christmas Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 2:35 AM Ahaha... i haven't been blogging and i thought i should come by before i write those cards on my bed! first and foremost, merry christmas and a very happy new year to everyone! i hope you guys had a great christmas because i had one. the new year's countdown is coming up and i'm going to have it low key and significant (yes they come together) in church. it will be fun. well anyway 2009 is going to be an amazing year. 2008 has just zoomed past and many things have been done and dusted, out of here but there are still so much more things to accomplish and to know about God. 2009 more than anything else, will be a year we know God a little more, a little deeper, a little more passionately. i'm so happy to be alive now. not plenty of pyrotechnics and whatsoever, even sometimes quite messed up, but i'm still very happy. Yishun Satelite Church launch this SUNDAY. It is going to be so amazing (: It's quite cool man. This week alone we have 8 services. hahahahahhaha power to the people (: rock on and i'll see you soon. December 20, 2008 big Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 2:30 AM okay now. i feel a deep strong connection with f3. let's grow it big (: 6 months (: December 17, 2008 revisit those pictures Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 2:38 AM it's been a great night & a great day how was yours anyway? tonight just came to an end and before i jump onto bed, let me reflect one last time on this great day. it's pretty cool to revisit those defining pictures your eye captured with each activity you did. there are pictures in our minds and i think that's a beautiful thing. these pictures make life so sweet. life is supposed to be easy. or maybe not, life isn't supposed to be so hard. life is about love & you know what, i've learnt that without love, nothing stands. everything literally crumbles before you and i've seen it crumble before. love is principle. gdnight & gdbye December 14, 2008 'words' Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 3:47 AM 'possibilities'. this is my favorite word this season. there are possibilities! in every situation in every circumstance, there are possibilities, a way out or another door open. we would have more and 'more' is another amazing word. life is about 'possibilities' and 'more'. God is in-charge. He's the author behind the mainframe. He's the engineer who did up the motherboard. Only this or that much fits into a certain mainframe... What's out does not and that is unexplainable, we shouldn't even think about that. Well what's in that is pretty. It's a realm of opportunities! 'opportunities' is another cool word. 'opportunities' 'possibilities' 'more' they are the vocabulary of an idealistic radical life. anything can happen. that is helpful and also fearful. helpful in the sense, those 3 words take charge. fearful in the sense, those 3 words fail you. and it all counts back to you, your decision! helpful then good. fearful then not that good. and that's the beauty about being radical & idealistic! you know 'anything can happen' and you decide that, 'hey, that is a piece of very helpful information to know!' you adjust your shirt a little, take a good last look at that polished face of yours and you are out of that door ready to conquer another day. gdnight & gdbye (: December 11, 2008 new burden Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 2:53 AM phil wickham has this song 'cannons' that sounds awesome. d showed it to us and good thing i managed to download the whole album. in the midst of many things, dominic was really inspiration again. now those things that he said haunt me daily. we had this 30minutes of qt during amt(a) today. see i read my bible and didn't get any revelation. haha... i was like - Jesus, what are you talking about? What is what? But well, now i'm home i have my special way to find out. hahaha it's a huge secret have you ever felt like you don't feel like you don't want to sleep? yeah you start talking like that gdnight December 2, 2008 my life Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 1:51 PM i had half a day off today and i slept in. it is one of those amazing times of the year. haha... so then i woke up and reported in camp and here i am after reading and lunch and just trying to get back from after lunch lethargy. today is and will continue to be a good day. yesterday was very surprising because of that army retreat thing that i went for. alright, it was largely because of work that i had to be there but i didn't do much in the end. just helped out by running the event and had some fun with the old soldiers. i can't begin to tell you how funny these people are. in their late 30s and 40s these guys are really still quite youthful on the inside. all those jokes that we tell alot amongst ourselves in church, they do tell them too and it was funny listening to them. mainly, because they are so old and they could say such juvenile funny jokes. well, it was a good experience as well hanging around those people. i mean it was 8am when i got there and i did not know what to expect. then all those high flyers came and i remember Pst saying we got to be confident. So i tried hahaha... In church it is easy to be confident. I mean, you know what i mean... haha but out there it's different. So then, it was a great day. Everyone was kind and very friendly & i got to know alot of people. The culture shock and all were quite cute but then it's still all very good. So it was a day where many doors opened and i had to seize it. I had 2 things i got out of that and i'm going to navigate my way to get them. It is going to be cool. Some of those funny things we did were like i've mentioned very funny. 1) Movie Screening My Indian CSM was being made fun of by another Indian warrant. He said he could not be seen in the dark. Then a jabbing war started and he jabbed him back saying he's indian too. Well my language is nicer here so i don't get into trouble. But it was hilarious. It's like Sean and Ernest. 2) Laser Quest Hahhs it's quite cool to see warrant officers snatching opponent's guns and shooting them at close range. It was a huge messy struggle and very noisy. Super funny. And anyway the young nsf officers trashed the old timers. haha it was funny. warrant kalimutu was very proud that he got negative scores. he boasted about his heroics in snatching guns. crap but funny. 3) Pay it forward Liet Col got us to watch this movie and it was great. I am going to watch it again and get people to watch it. It's very relevant for us christians serving God in hoGc at such a fast pace. It is good. I watched it and was so moved. Let's pay it forward. so then i had a tiring day and i went home and missed 2 stops haha got home and was so tired that i decided to pray and get into the presence. that's something that we all should do. strength comes back and all and in about 15 minutes my mind was working and i slept at 3am. got to read the bible more and pray more. let's be spiritual!!! went for a run and you get sharp spiritually and physically. that's life. it is sweet and very good. i love my life. December 1, 2008 benny hint :p Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 2:56 AM this week has been a great week. i came home today feeling very tired but then when i reached home for some reasons unknown i feel evoked, provoked and i just can't sleep. of course then, i made use of this time. i'd plan to sleep but i watched soccer in the end. then i did some more important stuff. just a few things before i drop this and go to bed. Thing 1 - i think zone f youths are pretty amazing see, i come to realize i can't really comprehend them. i am very amazed at some of the things that are birthed in those minds. it's really quite funny. as a matter of fact, we have our holy trinity in jordan, benny & nic tan. i don't know, they're just funny. they tried to imitate benny hinn and it was all funning kung fu fighting. saturday morning i bumped into Lerren & of course we greeted each other. i don't know what happened but our conversation went quite warp. okay apparently he did not understand me or was too stress when he see me. i asked him why he was in church so early. i assumed again by saying, "you came with your sister la!" alright... he said, "yayayayayaya....." a few seconds later this guy turned to me saying, "but but.... my sister is at home" okay now.... what are you talking about??? but i still really do love and enjoy these crazy people (: Thing 2 - Don't judge a book by its cover Benny and Kenn came over on saturday night. Benny was so deep into his sleep he didn't know he replied me when i spoke to him. It was pretty amazing because kenn and i were playing away on our guitar piecing things together and benny just died on my bed. okay next morning benny was late for a cancelled meeting. he didn't really look stressed up at all so i was very worried... so i asked him and he told me, "outside okay. stress inside" okay.... panic doesn't show on the exterior for this guy. kinda cool huh... but then i just laughed. then some crappy crap thing happened which greatly inconvenient us. benny said,"wah... sunday eh! no off day???" hahahahaha good one... well i don't know this guy man... apparently he wants benny hinn's anointing now. Thing 3 - 11.5hrs of army on monday hahaha i will be PA to my OC tomorrow. i have nothing to say about it but then i'm just really looking forward to one thing tomorrow (: i don't know man. i really hate it but then i seem to enjoy it since i have a better choice off hating it... okay that's about that. it's never ending if i would to go on. this happens... today is sunday night. hahahaha go to bed and rest well gdnight & gdbye
