New Year's Eve!
Every year end we make resolutions,

I am so grateful...
- to dream BIG
- to go after that dream! Think,visualize,believe&speak!
- keeping my FAITH strong!
- getting OTHERS excited about the dream!
- GOOD physical condition
- ASK for it!
- COMMITTED to fight the tough battles
- Above all...be ready to PASS IT ON TO THE NEXT GENERATION! Joshua15:19
Then the usual amazing CG meeting with Darryl! Full of faith and power! Thank You God for always showing up in our cell group! Brought home with me a lot of what Darryl shared with the cell group, it was such a heart to heart meeting :)
A lot of questions were asked, a challenge was given, why are we doing what we are doing? When we say we’re not ready, are we saying that we’re so terrible to the point where the MOST PERFECT GOD cannot use us?
We need to understand and know our motive, our purpose behind our actions! We need always to be willing to move when He moves, to let our every motive and purpose to be backed up with the love for God and the love for people! If we love God so much, by default we would only want to please Him, and reaching out to people, loving people would be on top of that list! Even if we love people, by default we would want them to know our Father, to help be that bridge to help others to know Him, to care for others just as He cares for us!
I’m so grateful,
That You place Your Father’s will above Your own,
I’m so grateful,
That You freely gave Yourself up even when You were not wrong,
I’m so grateful,
That You stood Your ground regardless of the false accusations,
I’m so grateful,
That You remained strong and determined even after being flogged,
I’m so grateful,
That You withstood all the mockery and humiliation even when they had no truth behind them,
I’m so grateful,
That when You were all broken You still prayed “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they’re doing”
I’m so grateful,
That when You could have ended it with just a word, You stayed until the very end crying out “IT IS FINISHED!”
I’m so grateful,
That it didn’t end there, but on the third day You rose again!
I’m so grateful,
That everyday, You’re praying for me, connecting me with the Father!
I’m so grateful,
That in everything You always pick love!

Krystle's Chicken Pasta!! or....
You would need:
- a miracle to happen for it to turn out great~ hahaha....check cause you have me~ ;)
- 1 whole chicken chop into various small and EDIBLE portions! Mental....whole chicken can fit into your mouth meh~ or maybe just an entire thigh~ hahahah
- 3 tablespoon Parsley finely chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic finely chopped
- 3/4 of an Onion finely chopped
- Half a block of butter
- 2 potatoes dices
- 1 carrot diced
- 2-4 strips of bacon chopped here and there to little bits (optional...but knowing you...)
- 1L of milk
- Chicken Stock
- CHEESE!!!half of the 250Philadelphia Cream Cheese!
- and DUH pasta~~ up to you...which one you want :p
- and of course the usual things....oil, salt, pepper, pan, spatula, hahaha assuming you're aren't THAT cheap as to borrow these things from friends when you need to cook HAHAHAHA well I do it sometimes~ so it's ok :) hahaha
OK After having all of these ingredients ready....which again a miracle needs to happen~
- Boil pasta in salted water...NOT TOO SALTY!!! Later Kidney Failure!! Now while waiting...don't go facebooking looking for you know who~ ;) HAHAHAH
- In a saucepan, melt the butter, like the whole block, under LOW HEAT!!! LOW AH KRYS!!! If the butter becomes black or brown...which I hope it doesn't it means you didn't follow instructions! HAHAHHA
- After butter fully melted, turn heat to HIGH and then throw in the order....parsley, garlic onion! Leaving a small time interval after every throw~ HAHAHAH small time interval...i think my science nerd is kicking in....
- After garlic a lil brown and onions a lil crunchy....then throw in the potatoes and carrots! Stir fry for at least 5-10mins!! Then pour in like 1/4 of the milk first...you do know 1/4 of 1L is 250ml right? HAHAHAH loving this~
- Then bring the whole thing to boil under medium heat and then simmer it under low heat for another 10-15mins and stirring it OCCASIONALLY!! Later bottom part hangus~
- Then throw in all the chicken and then pour in another 250ml of milk and again simmer under low heat....this time until the chicken meat is all cooked!!
- DON'T PORGET ABOUT YOUR PASTA!!! By now it should be cooked! So drain it!! and set aside! Also while waitig for the chicken to cook, you should do the optional bacon thing...fry them in a separate pan till they're all crispy :D and set aside!
- Once chicken is cook, first add the cheese and then keep stirring it until cheese is finally intwined with the sauce :D hahahah loves it...intwined~
- Then add chicken stock, salt and pepper to suit your own taste! PLS KRYS ADD A LIL BIT AT A TIME!!! And taste after each addition! I don't want you to die of kidney failure!!
- Pls note you now have 500ml of milk leftover right~ it's for you to add into the sauce here and there when it becomes too thick!!
- Now if it's TOO WATERY!!! Add more cheese....:D milk and cheese counter effect the wateriness and thickness of the sauce!!
- Then once sauce is all done~~~ Add in the bacon bits and then the obvious....put pasta on plate, fully saturate your pasta with the sauce and eat lah! HAHAHAHA
OK now...this is ONE WAY of doing it....Can't really see you doing so much things in a day...cause believe you me...sometimes we're both not that semangat to go through all that trouble! Hahhaha in other words...LAZY!!! So here's
KICAP AYAM!!!
EASY ONE:
- Chicken chopped to pieces
- 10 garlic cloves are just crushed!
- 1 and a half middle finger LONG of Ginger! HAHAHAH not one middle finger...not asking you to be vulgar or a cannibal! Ginger just slice it
- 2 Potatoes slice however you want :) but not whole though
- 1 carrot...same as potatoes
- Kicap Manis (Sweet Soya Sauce)
- Soy Sauce
- Oyster Sauce
- A LIL chicken stock!
- Oil...
Super easy!!!
- Heat up oil, throw in garlic and fry till its browning, then throw in ginger.
- Then throw in potatoes and carrots fry for like maybe 1-3mins
- SPAM as in IMMERSE not spam as in ham....SPAM as in gaming term HAHAHAHAh so yes immerse the whole thing with all the sauces!!! here's the ratio you should follow 4portions of Kicap Manis to 1 Portion of Soy Sauce to 2 Portions of Oyster sauce!! Just add lah basically!
- Then fry a bit and then add in the chicken, and then add like maybe 2cups of water and then just simmer the whole thing for like 30-45mins, just stir ONCE IN AWHILE!! In this case while waiting you can go and be cheeky on facebook~
- If after simmering chicken/potatoes/carrots not cooked yet, add more water and simmer again! Simmering her is the most important!!
- After all cook, taste, if not strong enough add more of the sauces and a lil chicken stock, and add more water and continue simmering :D
- This one eat with rice lah!!! And omg rice....JUST GO YOUTUBE AND LEARN HOW TO COOK! ORRRRRR buy chinese takeaway...just say I want rice~ HAHAHAHAH
HAHAHAHAH Hope you enjoy yourself Krys!!! SEE YOU IN LIKE 34days!!! LOVE YA LOADS!!!

Amazing!!
it is You Who I'll choose.
Above all else,
it is You Who has my heart.
Above all else,
it is You Who I'll serve.
Above all else,
it is You Who I'll worship.
Above all else,
it is to You I'll look to.
Above all else,
it is You Who I'll follow.
Above all else,
it is You who I'll love,
with all my heart,
all my soul,
all my might,
now and forever,
it will always be You.
you're probably saying....."wah piang eh just for an iTouch must say so many words!" and it's true I MUST say alot of words cause it's one of the most coolest gadget that my brother has ever bought for me! yup I said it right....Benny got me the iTouch! No strings attached and brand new! it wasn't a pass me down or hand me down or whatver....it's BRAND NEW and it's has MY NAME written all over it :D so why shouldn't I use alot of words to talk about my iTouch~ I'm just so happy that I finally got it and I want to tell just about everyone all about it and it's awesomeness and just how amazing it is! And that's what got me thinking...With so many things that are going on around our lives today, when do we take time out to truly appreciate all that is really important~ bringing it deeper how much time do we take time to just say I Love You to the One who truly matters above all? There are truly so many things that surround us everyday, taking up alot of out time, dominating the majority of our daily conversations among peers, be it new gadgets, an upcoming event, an unexpected situation, a horrific news that just hit, even a topic like "where to get the best bak kut teh" can be carried on for over an hour....
It's not a bad thing to be immersed in the social pop culture of our times, but there always has to be a balance for everything. Too much of something is always bad. I've just been learning so many new and wonderful things from Pastor Kong, Pastor Tan, and Darryl all in a span of 8days! It's just amazing how all of the leaders flow so smoothly together! And that's truly how it's suppose to be! From Pastor Kong got a new revalation how Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!" alot of times the verse is used to encourage people to do the impossible, but when you look at the bigger picture, it's main purpose was to let people know that WHEN they are facing any or ALL storms in their life....they CAN STILL MOVE ON THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS!!! :D
Then from both Pastor Tan and Darryl their message on being true worsippers were simply mind blowing! Darryl was sharing with us how we should always always [choose God and never the blessing] the blessings are but a by-product of the relationship we have with God! Pastor Tan truly just took the stage with his preaching on John 4! How in the heart of God, He just wants to know if we really know how to worship Him, of all the things that we can do, the first thing that God wants to settle in us, is who are we going to worship?
There are just so many things that surrounds our daily lives! And they are new and exciting things! We should always stay updated with the latest trends, be updated with the latest news and be well verse with the pop culture of our society in our time so that we can indeed be salt and light wherever we go! But but but we gotta have that balance and we gotta set our priorities straight, that after all is said and done we will set time, put a significant portion of our day aside just so we can be true worshippers of God! We gotta have that small tent of meeting outside it all, a small tent which is so far out, that in the tent the world outside just melts away and it's just us and God...and it's just us being there with all our heart with all our soul with all our might just worshipping Him!

We sang, we danced and we stole things...ok...maybe not...
Familiar faces, familiar phases, familiar phrases just pops into my mind! But of course we shared more things between us....but that's just it, it was shared between us hahaha
So back to http://heyitsvon.tumblr.com/post/208926246!
So as she was just reading this out loud to me, inputting the usual tones and effects that I've come accustomed and familiar to...we laughed and laughed, at the same time in the midst of all that laughter a switch clicked in my mind and it started working in overdrive, remembering my first time :)
It was in the Saint Andrew's School Conference Room...where all the teachers/board members/councillors meet for their meetings hahaha "meet for their meetings" its redundant...but anyways, that's during the weekdays or school days, but I remember 2002, the year that everything changed!
It was Feb-March and everyone was talking about this camp during the March holidays...everyone was asking everyone will he/she be going? New to the whole concept, I thought it was a camping trip...with bonfires and everything...but boy was I mistaken...but never regretted one bit! What never occurred to me during that time was why the non-muslim rule....
So I went...and realised I was in for an unforgettable experience! It was great I remembered! Checked in and met up with team members who were all very welcomming! Team building activities....Kuhlman we were called.....back then...Kuhlman just sounded like a cool word...like [CoolMan]....Inter-team games....the only other team I remember was Wigglesworth...cause I thought what a funny name....Dinner....and then...
Session 1
Songs...Introductions...A man speaking...and then the most vivid memory...slow songs...and the man asking for people to go to the front...and then hands to head...and people suddenly falling down...people were crying...weeping....some were even screaming...one was rolling around and fisting the ground...
Everyone else was just singing and having their hands raised...what was I and Javon to do...my partner in crime...it was the first time...especially for me...so we ran out of the conference room down to the canteen and was scared we would be "effected" by this craziness...
But God knows everything, and He knows when to act :) of course back then I didn't know this...I thought that a busybody teacher just wanted us to get back into the room with the crazy-ies....Ms. Pushpa...truly an anointed woman of God! Loving and devoted, caring and motherly, understanding and full of patience...
Questions were thrown at her...questions were all answered...uncertain and yet intrigued...we were down in the canteen waiting for everyone to come back down...then supper...followed by many unanswered questions before lights out...
The next day....breakfast...session...no crazies...lunch...games...dinner...and then...
Session 3...it was here where everything changed! The man called for people to come to the front again...tears flowing down...tears of true joy...having a void filled...having met the One and only...Tears of pain being washed away...tears of happiness for the acceptance...words were said by the man...and I echoed it perfectly...word for word...filled with emotion...with awe and devotion...and in Jesus Name...Amen....
This is My Desire... To Honour You...Lord with All My Heart...I Worship You...All I Have Within Me...I Give You Praise...All That I Adore...Is In You...Lord I Give You My Heart....I Give You My Soul....I Live For You Alone...Every Breath That I Take...Every Moment I am Awake...Lord Have Your Ways In Me...
It has been over 7 years...and He still surprises me with new things each and every day! What I said in March 2002 I still mean every word of it! The song I sang I still mean every word of it! And I know that my love for Him grows stronger and deeper each and every day....each moment is His moment!

wait EXPECTANTLY!
"Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly"
Psalms 5:3
In a day, 24hours, how often are you in the state of waiting for something, for anything really...be it waiting for the bus, waiting for the train, waiting for your food to be cooked, waiting for your parents to pick you up, waiting in the line at the supermarket, waiting for the time to pass, waiting for friend/s to arrive, waiting for an event to begin or even for it to end, waiting for a waiter to serve you or to take your order, waiting at the gas station, waiting for your face mask to dry out so you can peel it, waiting for your favourite show to come on the TV, waiting for God?
Just think about it, today how much time did you spend just waiting?
Now how much time did you spend today waiting on God?
That's what hit me when I read the verse...very often we just come to God showing him a list of things that we want, a list of wants, a list of needs, a list of desires, a list of lists! More often than not sometimes we rush through things, even the more important things in life, for what? To wait yet again for another thing to come by...
I am not saying that we should all just stay in our rooms 24/7 just waiting and waiting, cause then it'll be unproductive, and we know that we were all created to be productive! But it is important to know that whenever we come into His awesome presence, we shouldn't rush through things, we shouldn't just touch and go, we should be ready to be soaked completely, to be well and fully marinated by His presence.
When we marinate meat, to ensure that the sauce fully penetrates into the innermost parts we got to leave it overnight! BUT that's not the whole picture...yes we are to wait on God...and not rush through...BUT...you see, the verse doesn't just end with the word wait....it ends with the word...EXPECTANTLY!!
The word "expectantly" means to be in eager anticipation! And you're only eagerly anticipating good things, I mean have you ever heard of a child who's expectantly waiting to catch chicken pox? OK maybe not such a good illustration...cause some people do like to get sick so they can skip school...but you get the idea~
You're only in this state of expectancy for a good thing! This tells me one thing above all else...that when we wait for God...He wants us to wait EXPECTANTLY to show us something! And something GREAT!
Sometimes we don't like waiting, we want to see results, and to see it immediately! To see it now! IF not we just go looking for the next big thing! But God has His own perfect timing! God knows what is good for us at the perfect time, not too early not too late!
So whether you're waiting for revival to hit your school or workplace, waiting for the hundredfold blessings that everyone is talking about, waiting for you entire family to receive salvation, waiting for your healing to come, waiting for that breakthrough, just wait in His presence...and to wait EXPECTANTLY!! Cause He is going to make a scene that will just BLOW YOUR MIND AWAY!
