In the Bedroom after the War

a couple of words that can substitute the entire dictionary Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 1:34 AM why is there still the hip hop countdown? don't we all know that hip hop is on the decline and indie rock is the new hip hop? hahaha... i just watched 'wake me up when september ends' mtv, it's so nice, actually. anyway you're going to love this. let me show you a couple of words we use quite commonly in the army. 1 up - CHUI apparently we all know what CHUI means. Pronunciation - chee-uuiie it really means shattered or smashed into bits and pieces. but it's normally used to describe something substandard or crappy. for example - the food was bad = the food chui 2 up - LOONG this is upright hokkien. Pronunciation - low-ong it means crash, used in the context of cars. but in the army, we usually use it to describe risk taking and the leap of faith. for example - let's try our luck and ask for an off day from sir = we go loong off day leh 3rd up - SNOOK this is english in core definitely. Pronunciation as it is spelt. Snooker, Snook. yes... it means conned, surprised, shocked, out of the blue, jump the gun, unexpected. a second meaning could be, embarrassed, placed in the spot, stood dumbfounded. for example - he was supposed to meet me, 5 minutes before meeting time he told me he wasn't going to turn up, i was just so stunned = supposed to meet him today, he suddenly told me 5 mins before he not coming, i tio snook, stand there don't know what to do. 4th and last up - BUANG this is hmmm, hokkien or malay? Pronunciation - Bu-ah-wang. Go very fast, emphasize on the wANG. Buang actually means, throw away. it also means lost it, crashed (how a meeting crashed). for example - my car skidded and crashed - my car buang man. you've got to understand, they talk a lot about cars and bikes in camp. yeah, so that's 4 words you'll know when you enlist. everyone uses it, even the officers. it's the men in green way of expressing ourselves. when the adrenaline pumps, we go, "CHUI LA".... "GO LOONG OFF LEH"...."SIAN TIO SNOOK"...."HAIZ MY BIKE BUANG, LUCKY I SAVED MYSELF" hahaha, a typical day in army, you hear all 4 words. i've got a friend, he substitutes every and any vocab for these 4 words. it's quite funny. well he ORD-ed. we may have lesser of this, but we seem like infected bugs now. WELCOME TO OUR LIVES CIVILIANS (: gdnight and gdbye... "if i don't sleep, tomorrow sure chui, sir later ask me why i like sian sian, then sure kanna snook... then sian already cannot loong off day... all my favor with man buang..." hahahaha, don't let this 4 words enter your vocabulary. NEVER WAIT, i'm going to edit my post - the moral of this post, communication breakdown. half the ppl cannot communicate in camp. some stranger out there, if you are reading this and happen to have a bf in army, please be prepared, you should break up soon. hahahaha. men in green cannot communicate. imagine, in time of war - "let's loong the enemy!!!! chiong ah" i'll put down my gun and surrender in laughter. "SIR, YOUR COMMAND... SUPER CHUI EH!" "OI, YOU DARE SNOOK ME IN FRONT OF EVERYONE?" "SORRY SIR, LET'S GO LOONG THE ENEMY NOW..." haiz, i hate the army January 28, 2009 left for the late Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 3:48 AM 1 2 3 and it's over. people are going back to work, school and their army camps. happy new year and i hope you had fun this lunar new year. technically it's not over, but we don't really care do we? we have to report to the places we have to report tomorrow. that's the end for all of us. sunday night to monday to tuesday and now wednesday morning. i think we had it all and we're all tired. it's once a while but we long for such 'once a while' more. well for me, i cannot get back to work. just want to run ahead quick. i don't know what's the urgency though. so we did movies, ktvs, lan gaming and walking up and down along orchard road. we sang songs, shuffle talk, laughed, ate at macdonalds... it's the kind of aimless life that people out there live. but for us over the last 3 days, it was pretty much somewhat of a life we found amusing. how can people live a life like that? i ration my breaths as i type this, my eyesight dims and takes me further away from my computer screen. it so happened, my almost shut out eyes revived when i saw some beautiful football on screen. alright, i said to myself, i already had too much these days. i can't wait for service this saturday. it is going to be so exciting. time for a 'stable' life. ahahhs, anything like this last 3 days in excess is crazy. well, i do enjoy myself. however i thought it wasn't as crazy as last year. maybe we all had it all, too anticipated already! well we see what we can do next year. so i hope you made a lot of impact, friends, impression, this chinese new year. visitations are getting lesser, dimmer and more predictable. the lunar new year will endanger itself unless we do something uncomtemporary next year. my tv is entertaining itself. soccer's on, obviously i'm typing this and just waiting for the goals. tomorrow will be fun. let's see what happens. there is just one more thing i want to do after all this. play soccer and it will complete a fairly memorable cny. memorable because of a talk with an uncle about creepy things. glad elgin was back, now the night feels like every other without him. plenty of surprises springs a fairly memorable cny. ks came visit my mum when the entire family is out except her. i hung out with people i never did hang out with. it was quite fun. now my mind spins about mad about you and heart festival. it's so soon, like 3 weeks. we are going to have a good time. time to go to bed. time to meet z monster again. every day i meet him but i figured i'm the monster more than he is. aha... happy back to school and have fun while you listen to your teachers. don't fall asleep and yeah that's all. there's no comfort walking pass the foyer. i understand that feeling. ahahaha see you real soon like this saturday and it is going to be fun. i have to sleep now. mybed is up all night waiting. i shouldn't delay any longer. gdnight & gdbye, and a little late now - happy lunar new year. may you ox your way to destiny this year. muahaha... January 25, 2009 tv burgers to people to goods to a night at home Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 12:45 AM dear blog hello everybody! today was kinda fun, i did somethings i haven't been doing for a long time. while the highlight of all is that elgin booked out and we were all having fun together. lixing crashed my place last night and on elgin's bed. before that we were playing left4dead, apparently it is the hottest game in the market now. it's actually quite fun, but there's nothing much to do in the game after a while, or maybe i'm just not good at it so i speak of it so. so... we were hungry and ordered mcs. the delivery came and we really love the prosperity beef burger. one of the things i look forward to about CNY is actually this particular burger. it is really tasty. aha... so we did and watched tv. mtv 'real world' last episode, i still don't get what the show is about. i was just looking out for swag! (ahahahah!!!) then, we jump channels and i got sick of jumping channels and switched the whole thing off totally. and i dreamt. it must be that prosperity burger... this morning we had cg, there was more people than expected. we had a great time and during the forfeit benny vomited. they had to eat up mustard; the people who did the forfeit, hongjie looked like he loved it while benny's body surrendered. we walked around parco and shopped a little bit, f2, f20, f23 & f24 had reunion lunch. i joined elgin at cine for suki sushi buffet aha and this guy guozhe was with me. we had fun, did more shopping at cine and d30 can and join us after icecream at dhoby exchange. we actually walked pass a couple of shops and we just kept teasing amelia because of the particular fashion in there. quite funny, we need to 4D and change our mental image. hahahaha... suki sushi is quite nice, well it was my first time there. nothing really wow but yeah, it's quite nice. all of us walked over to far east and we lost each other half way, we met again at destination and everyone disappeared to shop. cedric and co were just waiting around. you got to check cedric out in his hooded blazer man. hahhs... then i left, and i walked all the way back where i left and took bus to pandan valley for b zone's reunion dinner. the bus trip was super fun. don't you love bus trips? not a neighborhood bus trip but something longer, more foreign. the dinner was really fun, we had games, they led it so well, the food was good, pizzas, steamboat, fried stuff but we didn't start until about an hour later the time we planned because the power kept tripping. too much plugs i suppose. well, in the end, we did some thing, noni pulled out some tricks and we actually was able to have our dinner properly... 930pm we caught 'Love Matters'. it's really quite funny. jack neo's jokes are getting witty-ier and smarter. it's quite crude at some points, quite typical but really still funny. i guess i will be watching it again inevitably. (hahaha) so what's on tomorrow? i am excited to meet my uncle, real cool uncle. i got to meet my nephews too. and i have a slient desire they do something fun tomorrow night so i can tag along. alright, boring way of blogging but yeah... salmon sashimi today was good i'm more tired than rested. it's funny but well... tomorrow afternoon will be fun and then family reunion dinner, it'll be fun. maybe i'll bump into some of you tomorrow that's it, gdnight, gdbye & gd happy reunions... \m/ January 22, 2009 art of war Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 12:29 AM i have been listening to The Ting Tings & Pink. i don't usually listen to bands like these but i thought it was pretty cool with that guitar intro for both 'Shut up and let me go' & 'So What'. big rift, super adrenaline rush! hahhs i'm playing it up a little bit, but it's really quite nice. yesterday i couldn't take it, i took out my guitar and started to play those songs. quite cool, really. to hear president obama's speech while eating maggie mee is quite a feat i thought. i think he's awesome while people think he's trying too hard. nah, no... he's awesome. lincoln & roosevelt alike. today in camp, csscom sergeant major master warrant and another guy told me my hairstyle is unacceptable. but they were really nice (: hahahahahaha... they were like really asking me about it. i shouldn't get into trouble. and crap, i was supposed to take picture of CO Sir but i disappeared when he was making his speech. i'll wait until 3 Feb man. he's going to do another. and i met this guy that i will not forget. he doesn't smile, neither does he make people feel good. he's clinical and him being him is quite funny. have you ever felt like you want to kill people like that? hahhs but in the end i just helped him la. i saw his camp pass, my goodness, the photo was bad... you could feel the sunset and the shadow form. worse thing, he's just a recruit like me! my 2 buddies weren't in camp today so i had the whole office to myself. it was super fun because you know usually, it's super noisy. hahhs one's on the left, one's on the right and i'm in the middle trying to do my own thing. haha... they are very funny and crappy and apparently, they went out for community service at the old folks home. i'm going to ask them how it went, i cannot visualize them talking to old folks. one is just too funny, the other is just too in the face. yeah, one like The Ting Tings and the other one like Pink. muahaha! i feel like i love people more each new day i go to camp. hahahahahaha... seriously! seriously... this is quite crappy (: i cannot believe it. someone asked me yesterday what i'll be doing when there's war. hahaha! i'll print maps, propaganda, print newspapers, etc. hahahahaha just for laughs but seriously... if war breaks out, me and my buddies will hide in our little project room, listening to our music, do our weights, surf the net, trash talk loudly... it will be so fun, enemy soldiers will want to join us. we'll abandon war together. hahaha what i called Art of War 2009 - make enemy soldiers abandon war. it will be so much fun. January 20, 2009 love for a club Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 2:49 AM soccer fans are something. they are a different breed. they have plenty of emotions towards their team. i have towards arsenal and barcelona. it's so happy, haha shallow but happy to see barcelona hit 5 pass deportivo. ks wrote something about a love for a certain football club. check it out, it is very good. i don't know why, we are all very excited about soccer on thursday. hahaha it's like church! hahaha oh and at 4am later we have the merseyside derby! liverpool vs everton! hahaha a derby is like war on the field. okay i'm excited to see if by tomorrow arshavin will sign for arsenal. we don't need him, but he will be a good additional. i rather we buy a defensive midfielder and a center back. if God didn't give man the brains to invent, created sports, i will cry. hahaha oh let me tell you more about my day in camp. it's quite funny. i reached camp and just did my things, read my bible then i went for breakfast and looked for a guy who came to church for the first time last week, happened to be having his course at my camp. then i went to the mess! and sang karaoke for 30 minutes. hahahahahaha the mess boy is my friend, so yeah! what to do... then i went back to office, practiced drums, talk to my buddies, ate and slept and did other important things. it's been a long day! muahahaha after meeting today, some of us went to hong kong cafe. haha crappy place good food crappy memories. but still good food! hahaha and it was quite funny too. oh and just now at night, i was talking to furong. he's a funny man. really funny. and jt and he's also very funny. life is funny. fun. funny. don't you just love life? i'm hungry, let me cook mee with fish ball and sausage. trademark ivan dish.

January 18, 2009 monsters are here tonight! Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 4:06 AM bowling with Pastor Lia was fun. Pastor is really good at bowling. 200 plus points per game. Jon is really good too. i got home just in time for arsenal's match against hull city. it was so exciting. the adrenaline rush was cool, i couldn't believe myself, i was handling my tv and telling arsenal to score. haha. well 3 - 1. awesome. van persie and bendtner are too good. then i spent the night reading up about twilight and the rest of the books. it is quite interesting. gotta catch new moon when it's out 2009. ks and a couple of us were arguing about good acts. i think death cab for cutie's good and so do i think the killers. he prefers red hot chili peppers. but what's most important here, what was funny, was we tried imitating all those rock stars. well, we didn't do quite badly. hahahaha jeremy is fast asleep in the room. on thursday we're going to play soccer. it's slowly getting bigger and bigger but it'll be fun. hahaha well zone f service and main service was brilliant today. it's amazing. the kind of things we learnt, it has been amazing. January 17, 2009 quite corrupt Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 1:42 AM recently, there's a lot of frenzy going on. economic crisis but nobody seems to care in the soccer arena. manchester city backed by ultra rich Sheik Mansour bid 100 million pounds for Kaka. i mean all i know about Sheik Mansour is that he did wonders in Dubai. Kaka is going to earn 500K a week. Furong says that's 2million a month and 200k in tithe. not to forget, Kaka is a christian and a fervent evangelical christian. and they say 28million will go to middle men, agents who made this deal happen. soccer is corrupt. just be like barcelona. haha i wonder why people don't bid for xavi, iniesta, eto'o, etc. they are brilliant. then arsenal wants arshavin and russian politics need to interfere. my goodness. him moving is like betrayal? crappy. hahaha it's just soccer. let's just play the beautiful game. when church office is closed, me jianming and a couple of other guys are going to play soccer! join us? anyone? January 14, 2009 flowers... Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 2:32 AM i've never really been fascinated by flowers. well recently, i have. this is Flowers. Metrosexual Flowers. His name is Brandon Flowers. The Killers front man... too good, tops. Crazy about Dior Jacket, Waist Jackets and Shiny Clothes. He's quite a crappy guy. A mormon by religion. Quite weird. Well here you see him rocking. Plus, drummer has a different grove altogether. i just can't look, it's killing me! and it's taking control! Oh yes.. oh... no no no... Well, as if that was not good enough, this is better. my sign is vital. hands are cold. on my knees looking for an answer. Thought you'll enjoy it. So yeah... Listening to The Killers increases your paranoia. Hahaha! Scottish, British. Best... Rock hard (: Hahhs just pure fantasy. I ain't getting crazy. Gdnight & Gdbye...
January 12, 2009 chronicles of success Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 2:22 AM i was talking to garrett and garrett says he will revive his blog. awesome! lately i've been blogging like daily... and it's a symptom. the zone f team have been so busy lately and we hardly have much time to do anything we want to do. i only people i talk to is zone f, zone b, dominic, charleston, lyn, jm and pastors. it's so busy! so haha my blog becomes my form of entertainment. i just put pen to paper and penned down all the things that's on my mind and i have a huge list of them. it is going to be amazing... dom and i we are going to finish it all and build zone f strong. and also zone b. me and dom had a rather cool conversation lately. i told him that i have no life and i wonder where my life went. in a really funny way we were laughing. he turned to me and said how that movie we just watched was our life. so in fact we are still humanly alive. hahaha he's really funny, but really, both of us know what we're talking about. it is just so busy & we have lost our lives willingly and happily. hahhs i was just thinking, how would things like if i came full time? it's going to be busier but really cool. i'm happy and hahhs there's so much God has given to us because we gave our best to Him. Zone F has been around for 2 years. B Zone approx there too. hahhs i admire dom dearly. there's something about dominic that inspires me that is not in anyone else. i look into his eyes, and that's all we need to run fast, faster and be the fastest and build the zone. just so many thoughts (: today we had a great discipleship class after service. it was so good. i enjoyed myself. getting to know them and worshipping God with them. it was so good. and i'm really happy and encouraged to know they were all so inspired and encouraged. haha, this is my life... i'm 20 years old. dom is 21 years old. really inspired by him. and we're going to give our best for the kingdom of God. it's going to be just about Him and His Church... let's build the church huge and strong. i have never felt so inspired for a long time. gdnight & gdbye January 10, 2009 let's smile more alright... (: Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 1:38 AM the killers' new album is out. they actually dug the dictionary for aid in song writing. pretty cool but pretty serious too. we all should dig into our dictionaries and have fun writing and rewriting some song, poetry or random junk. it's quite satisfying, at least i feel. some crap like that once a while can really bring to life. i am so excited about life. i mean more than creepy weirdo albums like this coming on but also every bit about it. it's really that THAT cool. today i feel like i have so much energy in me i can go scrap off every dirt and reduce Bukit Timah Hill to Bukit Timah Pit. it's pure perpetual adrenaline rush. i like that.. time must be tired today. the clock ticked down so slowly. we did so many things and realized that it was still so early. maybe time also needed a break in between the years. aha... well, i definitely beat time this time! hahahaha crap... day 1 of commando camp for elgin and apparently my brudda says it's boring in there. and there's ippt tomorrow. crap... in the army, you do your ippt like in a few months time and you get at least 1 month's advance notice. hahhs... maybe it's just an ability test? ippt on day 2. crappy... So in summary alot of crappy things happened lately. It's really all freaked, alien kind out of this world crappy. argh no i'm exaggerating. seriously, i just need some sensible calm down talk... seriously! seriously... and as i type this i remember grey's anatonmy. oh and speaking of sounds and voices, when Pastor Lia preached, "THIS IS THE NEW YEAR". DCFC's song came up in my mind... like... zhhhgajaggjaggg... this is the new year, zhhhgajagggkaggg... haha crappy i know. now you get it, too many crappy things jump at me or maybe i just have a crappy mind. and this ain't looking like a smart post. but well, i'd better introduced you to what crappy is all about. really crappy... it's just really crappy! hahhs i have too much energy to kill. hahaha i'm just messing around. see you tomorrow. pls smile, say hi and look really engaged. yes just smile! tomorrow is going to be a good day... January 9, 2009 my guys and me Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 2:44 AM daryl asked me what zone f is to me. honestly i took a few days to think of what 'zone f is to me'. it is quite hilarious, but yeah i did and yeah it is a very good question (: ahhahhs! i met jordan today. so did i meet caleb. hahhs... i didn't see benny. i did see nicholas, both nicholas. i did see leona, jedric, marcus but not marcus for long. i did see many people today. i met jian ming and we had dinner. steamboat at bugis for dinner. jordan was programming lights. marcus was just there. caleb was seated there. leona was smiling and standing there. nicholas was doing his thing there with chunkit and another nicholas watching there. i think it's a beautiful picture. see, i really want to get out of army and be with these people. hahhs that's all i want to do. this cny, i'm gonna be with them! hahaha that is what zone f is to me (: zone f service this saturday! it is going to be amazing and Pastor Lia will be here with us. guys, come expecting something. it's going to be good. this saturday, leona and some people are coming to my house and we're gonna watch twilight. i got the dvd from somewhere. hahaha! it is going to be fun. saturday Red Cliff 2 with B Zone leaders. then leona and co at my house. this is the best. best ever. tops. nothing beats that. i love my life. plain boring... but really still quite exciting (: ahhahhs! i am passionately in love with what i do... January 8, 2009 'the hills' is on Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 2:54 AM i was watching tv. it's the first time in a long while i switched my tv. i'm so behind with grey's anatomy. i was in the stores recently and i saw like season 3 or 4. hahhs i was on mtv and there's this show where people come and show if they can sing dance and act. all for $500. it was hilarious. i can't stop laughing. well, you can see what people will do for $500. before that i saw this mtv by 'the academy is...' and there's this guy singing about girls. again very hilarious. now there's rap on and i cannot understand what in the world they are rapping about. when is arsenal vs roma? i just can't wait to watch that. haha roma always talk too much about us. and lately, they say arsenal wants arshavin! quite cool.. today we had dinner with elgin at marche. it was packed and the food was really good. i'm just excited about random stuff nowadays. let's watch twilight... hahaha
January 7, 2009 little no more Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 3:38 AM if i am going to spend national service for 2 years the way i did today, i'd better ask for some work. it's getting boring in camp & the worse thing is that i haven't got my inet excess which is killing me. reporting to camp is like reporting for a 10 hour self enclosure in a dungeon with green creatures and no access to the external world. this is just one bugging thought in my mind. Kamal has to do something!!! Elgin is enlisting real soon and i am gonna miss him. He's gonna be little brother no more. In 2 weeks the nation will return a commando to me. Put aside the countless years of sibling rivalry, competition and crap like that, i miss him. This is the guy that talks the way i talk and dresses the way i dress & it's finally so satisfying to have him enlist (: I am going to miss him, the room will swallow me in but this 2 years will be so amazing for him. can't wait to see him step into his destiny and purpose in church. it's going to be way cool. ahaha little brother no more. I feel so old saying all those things but i am just 20. well i can't wait for many things to happen, especially for the future to quickly unfold! Have you ever like felt this way before too? hahhs yes there's church, there's my destiny, there's so many things to do with 'me' and ourselves. but sometimes, you kinda suddenly feel like things like Elgin enlisting have you enveloping it. it is something special. wahlaoeh, i'm missing him luh! just so many thoughts and feelings about this haha... life is getting so real, we have to attack it and treasure it. everyone in it and everything that has to do with it. let me now go and pray for my little brother no more. haha January 6, 2009 life in the supersonic Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 2:19 AM technically today was a monday but i've lost count numbering my days. it all feels very much the same nowadays. mondays to tuesdays, tuesday to wednesday thursday. i had a lot of people over at my place today. f2 leaders were here, b zone leaders after them and then a gang of 10 random people. in fact i was out having supper with that 10 and it was really quite cool. first and foremost, mutton soup tasted great. murtabak was a-okay. tau-hu goreng was just right. we had satay and drinks and all and as if it wasn't good enough we crossed the road for tau huay. hahhs... this isn't a regular monday i assure you. however it just felt right being a little bit uncontemporary tonight. so i got home and there was more food ready for us. neither i nor elgin had a go at them. we left it there and in fact, i think i better go eat a little bit of that before i sleep for fear my daddy kills me tomorrow. this week is going to be a little bit different. school has started, many things have gone by and many awaits us. for those of us who look back and wonder if we made the mark, we can jolly well be secure and look forward and push the ceiling higher. well for those of us who look back in joy, we know we had conquer another year and we're so much more a conqueror and warrior than last year. and for us who look back and grinch, the future is amazing. 2009 will be amazing with you. i stood in the front row listening to every bit of what Pastor Lia shared last weekend and it dawned upon me that i belong to a great church. not as if i did not realize it earlier but it was just right and sweet to remember the goodness of God in our lives. Pastor mentioned that 2009 will be a challenging year for us, in many sense and we need to gird ourselves up in faith. 2009 is also a challenging year for the world around us. it's just difficult. but in hoGc, i think it is going to be different. With great people at the helm and a God who is with us, i believe we can reverse the odds. We have always been a church that steps into the purpose and move of God. We never misses it. We are always there, there's such precision and faith and purpose. When Pastor Lia mentioned all those, there was such a faith that invoked something in my heart. It's more than just plain idealism and rar-rar-ness to captivate a bunch of youths. This 09 is about substance and to reemphasize and refocus and rewhatsoever you call that the values and ethos of our church was just so amazing. Wow... we belong to a great church with great Pastors. I believe i will look back in 2010 and in similiar fashion boast of the greatness of God in 09 like i'm doing now about 08. Heart of God Church is a miracle church & to have grown up being in this environment, sometimes i fail to see how amazing and huge a miracle week in week out heart of God church is. But well, today i see... shock, fright, fear, anxiety, happiness, joy, peace, exuberance and whatever the emotion, Pastor Lia said that 2009 will be amazing. It will be and it will be and it will be. It's a year, like every other year, no need for a new direction but a new impression. i'm so excited to make an impression this 2009. We are going to impress ourselves on the things around us. If we were just good we will be great this 2009. I am really excited about 2009. let's impress our ethos on the world around us. warrior ethos. builder ethos. servant ethos. shepherd ethos. family... friends.... youth... zone f... parents of youth... cch... ysc... fathering the younger generation... i don't know what we are in for... but it definitely feels like we're going to have a great 2009. Just so amazed and inspired by the faith of our Pastors. thank God I'm on this team of teams. it really feels like supersonic, phantom flashed out kind of thing... it's 6 Jan already. I still remember vividly what happened on 31st Dec 08. life is so cool. i love life. let's do life together! let's attack life together! in all simplicity, life just rocks! gdnight & gdbye!!!

January 4, 2009 the fulfillment of a dream Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 1:49 AM today was amazing. especially especially with zone f heart awards. it was really exciting, and more than that it was spiritual and i just felt something happened today. as one of the main leaders of zone f, i know it's there, and i'm intrigued and just cannot wait basically to see the fruits of today's service in the near future. i know it is going to be good. alright, also... it was so amazing seeing the smiles on the people's faces. i think that's what we've been working for. a great service, yes yes but really, it's for the people's comfort and enjoyable and pleasure. if it's so perfect and people feel so 'professional' in the place then i think we've missed out. but still, being professional is important but it's just that simplicity in mind when running a service that matters. it's so good to have people happy and know that they have enjoyed themselves and learnt something from the message. i don't know about you, but i am really really really excited about zone f. there's something there when you see the leaders' eyes meet. it is so cool. it's a dream coming to past again and again and again. we see ourselves in them but more than that, we see a repeat of all that Pastors were to us. It is such a privilege and honor. ain't it cool we are raising a whole generation? haha it is SO COOL! and i think it's just right to feel these sentiments now because of heart awards, really we just saw our fruits up there receiving awards today. THAT IS SO FULFILLING. today was everything we worked for (: there has to be more and will be more to come. i am passionately in love with some people 4 5 years younger than i am. hahaha there is just so much purpose about building zone f. we are the leaders of our generation. hahaha i'm just bursting with so many things to say!!! i am going to find someone and tell them how cool zone f is... hahaha i am in love with what i do and today just impacted me and encouraged me to my very core. God is amazing gdnight & gdbye
