Day out with the Youths

Hey guys, the day didn't go really well for me. But I wanna say after talking to a friend I've not talked to for like 1 year plus, I've been blessed that he said he felt much better after talking to me. And that made it all worthwhile.

It's been so weird. Ever since the-most-difficult week when the youths were away on Missions Trip, I've been talking to so many people in my life. And they all felt blessed after talking to me (pls, I'm not flattering myself here..). And to think I was so broken. I could still bring out enough courage to offer my ears for them to whine/cry/complain. And to think they said they felt blessed? Well, let's just say this. I, Peter, will never believe I can be a blessing to others. Maybe cos of life experiences and all that. But these few weeks, I've had more people saying thanks to me than I had in the last, er, 3 years? And maybe God's showing me that I can be a blessing to people if only I made the first step.

Oh ya, before I forget. Pic of the Day. Actually 2. Models of Dunamis again. First one was taken in Church Camp this year, and the other was taken today.







































I really think I should be a photographer la.. So nice right? Both pics show the cool/suave looks of Ben and Jerald. Gals, don't start drooling now.

Me and Jerome met at 1.30 to look at Yamaha guitars, before heading to the food court for lunch. Ben and Ken followed shortly after. Pam came to the food court the last, cos she already had some porridge near her place. (*hint* if you can cook congee, I'll fall for you.) These were what we ate.

Jerome - 1 miserable Popiah
Ken - Chicken rice. Rice better than the chicken. Soya Bean drink, obnoxious $1.30.
Me - Meat Ball Noodles. Aunty said I should take $4.50 portion, Jerome ate 90% of it. jkjk.
Ben - Another miserable Popiah.. Please, can you actually get full on turnips..

Here are some photos of when we were at the food court.





























You guys must really like the pics I take aye. I should really start charging people for being in my com and blog. Lolx. After this, Jannen came along followed by a lift in his wondrous air-con car - which can switch the air-con-blast-mode 5 times. Which i did. And oh ya, what is that triangle thingy that turns on your both yellow lights ah? I kept pressing it, and the cars behind were like on the verge of wanting to crash our car. O_o

Oh ya, cos it was raining, I didn't want my babe to walk to Paradiz in the rain. So I told Jannen, we have to get her, and so we fetched her to Paradiz. Which we did, and so she didn't get caught in the rain. All cos of me. Thank me babe.

-- 2 hours later --

Not gonna talk about lan. Jerome had to rush off for home. So we were desperate for a cab, which we finally got. And Jerald was eating his ice-cream with bread which he had a craving for. More sweet-nothings tonight aye.




















Total Time of Ride - 1 hour
Total Cost of Ride - $22.10
Worth it? - No.

Goodness. Dhoby Ghaut to Hougang - 1 hour?! and $22.10?! No more taking of cab at that timing man. And Jerome was 45 min late for home.

What a nice greeting when I got home - Thunderstorm. Now.. what happens when Gravija is furious. You got it, Storm Approaches.
















But even in my anger, I found enough to talk to my friend who felt hurt and lost (mind you, I never talked to him for 1 year plus). And it made me real glad when he said he felt much better after that hour-plus conversation.

And you know. I never did believe I could be that much of a blessing in people's lives' until this Christmas. I mean.. I wouldn't even have thought about it. And when people say 'Thank You', it just brightens me up.

Hey, once again, to all my friends. I love you guys, and I want to be there for you. God Bless.

Post Christmas - Boxing Day!

Thanks for voting guys. The votes have been calculated (kinda obvious which one won aye..), and the pic that won it for yesterday's Pic of the Day is DareDevils of Dunamis Rock! Sorry Jannen and Charlene, we lost to more 'photogenic' people.. hey wait, I'm a DareDevil too! Woohoo!

And this is today's Pic of the Day! Models from Dunamis Rock for Louis Vuitton! Make some noise for them!
















This was taken like 3 years ago on New Year's eve? When we were all having so much fun after watchnight service I think.. And today is the day I get to open all my presents from yesterday! Great presents this year! (I opened like 90% of them yesterday already.. but sshh..)

But before I get to the nice presents. There is this one present that is so perculiar, I had to reject it from the 'beautiful presents' category. Pls.. Does this look like me?! o_O Lolx. Thanks anyway for the vibrator Jannen. (now now.. don't think too far. It's a vibrating keychain.) - seeing this might cause sensations of wanting to throw up..
















Bleah. So not like me la.. I don't have a hairy chest ok. Anyway.. the moment we've been waiting for.. The beautiful presents! First up, Goldlion Wallet from Isaac Tan! (in no order of preference, so please don't get jealous..)
















And this is a much better keychain ok? All the way past half the world, Andy got this specially for me ok? Right. I think I'll be using this instead aye..
















Pam and Rach got this for me. But I have to say. Put more effort into wrapping it can?! Haha.. But thanks for telling me I'm a Player. *cheeky laugh*
















And another one wraist accessory from Wendy! Woohoo, you guys really know what I like aye.
















This choker was given to me by my 2 buddies, Jerald and Jerome. Now, my set is complete with my other wraist one! - And the youths just had to put the vibrating keychain with this and said it looks cool. Yes.. Yes.. Sure..
















And now my favourite part of today's blog. The scents. Received 2 colognes this year, making the number I have to 3! This is from my aunties. Sports Fever from Adidas. Same one that Jerome has. Looks like I can spray it on my bolster to rekindle the night we had.. Lolx.
















And my wishlist is one down! Tommy Hilfiger True Star Men
















And my collection of scents all together! A different scent for every diffirent mood and occasion!
















I won't be putting up the cards that people gave me cos my bandwidth is dying.. But thanks to Charlene, Janine, and of course, EQ! For all the beautifully done up cards that some spent hours upon hours just for me.. Aww..

It's been a great Christmas and I know all of you enjoyed my cookie aye?! Don't tell me if it's not nice, I don't want to hear.. Lolx. But thanks for all your friendships, and looking forward to a whole new year with you guys. God Bless!

Christmas - The Finalé

What a great time we had in church today. Filled with so much joy and love (not forgetting the endless giving of presents).

The decision for Pic of the Day is torn between these two. You guys vote in my tagboard and the winner will receive a kiss from me! Jkjk.. But seriously, which do YOU think is better for today's Pic of the Day? Voting ends on Monday, 26th December, 12 noon..

Professor Charlene.




















Or. The DareDevils of Dunamis Rock.















Of course.. If you guys wanna vote for this pic, I wouldn't mind too.. (again.. He appears in 90% of all my photos.. and who is that..)















Well, I've probably had the best Christmas in like 4 years. School and work had made Christmas really busy and not enjoyable at all these past few years. And I'm glad this year took a turn for the better. I am truly blessed by all my friends and family in my life. And I'll not let anything affect the strong bonds that we already share.

Jerald, and Jerome, you both are special people in my life. So continue to be special in my life k? *winks* Here's for you two.















And not forgetting our special guests all the way from Lighthouse Evangelism! Rach and Isaac!





























And as usual, I requested for a Dunamis Rock combined photo to remember this very special day in history. The day we all came together and gave thanks for the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. To all the people who are a blessing in my life, (you know who you are..), thank you. And I believe the Lord will continue to bless our Church and we'll see miracles. Amen.















With much Love and Gratitude. I leave you guys with this. 'Are you in it or are you out of it? The choice is yours.'

Rogue Unleashed!

Lolx, if you're thinking what in the world the title of today's blog means.. Well. Let's just say you have to see my hair. Guess I have to start wearing gloves, lest I sap your life energy from you.. Bwahaha..

Anyways, the Pic of the Day! Fabulously Delicious!
















For those who are gonna receive this wonderful treat of a lifetime from me and EQ today, know that we slept at 4 am just to make/bake/package these cookies. But they are worth more than the colour of what they're wrapped in. Gold. Priceless.

By the way, a few of us went to cut/dye/highlight our highest point yesterday, our Hair! Well, this is how Ken and Ben looked like after the 'makeover'..
















Look like twins? Then, you have to see the other 2.. Aaron and Andy!
















For those that don't already know.. (it's kind of obvious..) Ben and Ken are real-life brothers. And yes, so is Aaron and Andy.

Which makes me ponder.. Who, then, is MY real-life brother. I got it figured out, and came to a conclusion that it is none other than the cutiest boy on this planet. Eng Quan!





















Oh oh, and if you were wondering why we both slept at 4 am. It's cos of you guys la! Haiyoh! Make us work so hard for Christmas so you guys can have good food aye.. But, look at our happy faces before we went to turn in for the night. Priceless.







































And guess what?! It's Christmas! Merry Christmas everyone! Make sure you have a good one this year! And see ya all in Church where we'll all gather and give/receive gifts!

But never forget the true meaning of Christmas, or there'll be no meaning in all that we do? Sounds profound? Go figure..

Dunamis Rock Christmas Party!

What a beautiful night! But before all the pictures come up, I just wanna say I had a wonderful time and have been blessed tonight! So, what is the Pic of the Day? It's the 6 most outstanding Angels in DR. Introducing.. The Dunamis Rock Angels! (if you can't see all the pictures, just refresh your browser again.)















Yea, what a bunch of handsome young men aye? Lolx. This is a picture of the Games' Mistress, and her sisiter, the Song Leader for the night!




















And not forgetting, our most entertaining Master of Ceremony, Jireh Tan! (and Jannen, who appears in like 90% of all my photos..)















See what I mean?















Can't show too many pictures today.. But! I must say! The best-dressed guy and gal well deserved their prizes! Congratulations to John Kao!















And Pamela Song (also the Song Leader for the night. Pun intended.)















And the night was filled with games, songs, fabulous food, and gifts exchange. I got a really cute coin-saving ornament from Jireh. I won't have a use for it, except for leaving it on my shelf to let other people adore it. (and collect dust..)

And of course, we took one very good photo of a few of us! And it kinda ended with a 'tau-pok' on Ben.. But! I didn't participate in it, so don't look at me with those eyes..















Yea, so the party ended really well.. And a few of us proceeded to supper before heading home. And Andy is finally back home here in Singapore! We miss ya Brother!! Meeting up with him and a few others in Clementi to Cut/Dye/Highlight our hair tmr! Gonna be another fun day. And then EQ is coming over my place to bake cookies with me! Gonna be fun when he messes up my kitchen. (I don't mind at all. We all played 'masak-masak' when we were small aye?) Haha.

Ok take care guys! See ya all on Sunday! Same place, 10 am! The few of us are wearing black. So if you wanna join the DareDevils of Dunamis Rock, go right ahead. Teeheehee..

Night Out with the Youths

Without fail, I'll start with the Pic of the Day! Dunamis Rock Rainbow!
(btw, if you can't see all the pics, just refresh the page again..)
















Nice pic aye? This was taken in the DREAM trip 2002! Long time ago aye? Ken looked so very different.. And the gal in the white and pink shirt is my sis. Loved every Mission Trip man, and looking forward to the next one.

Today is a good day for you guys cos I'm gonna put up alot of pics of what happened today! Firstly, Ken, Aaron, and I met at Plaza Singapura to find something nice for Joram, and for the gift exchange for tomorrow's party. Jerald, this is what I got for your gift exchange.
















It's a small book on lovely quotes and I think it'll be a blessing for the person who gets it. And after shopping abit, we went lan and played against AI (super dumb and waste of money), before meeting Ben, Jannen, Janine, and Shirley for dinner at Suntec's Marché. These are a few photos of us and enjoying the after-meal experience.
















And this of Jannen and Aaron..
















I can be a photographer man! Lolx... We then walked around Suntec and got Ken's gift for tomorrow's party. And we had like Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream! 3 scoops - 3 flavours - only $7.50!! What a deal! And mind you, the scoops were huge ok..

Ok, following the sugar rush, we went to the Esplanade to enjoy the evening sky on the rooftop. Romantic aye? Here are a few photos!





















Jannen.. Self-proclaimed 'Yan-dao'..




















And this was taken at the rooftop - where many JDs were hanging out.. Juvenile Delinquents. And! Introducing SuperGurl! The t-shirt looks kinda familiar aye..
















And what was most off was.. This pic was taken cos Jannen think it looks like Jerome. No way man.. No Way..
















Lolx.. Jannen.. You are one funny guy. Had a great night today. Really enjoyed myself. Oh yes, can't wait for tomorrow's party. And the guys are wearing white shirts - so if you wanna follow us, join the Dunamis Rock Angels Club. (I''m crapping again..)

So take care till tomorrow! And remember! If you like my blog, remember to tag on my board! Take care!

Christmas Shopping Done!

Ok, first things first.. The Pic of the Day!! Woohoo!

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Nice pic aye?! This is my Pastor, of the famous youth group, Dunamis Rock! Pastor, if you happen to pass by this blog, we wanna say "We Love You!!"

Today was another good day. Had to meet Ben, Jerome, and Jerald to do our final shopping for the Christmas season. And i'm glad we are done! Woohoo! Bought all the remaining presents for our friends.

Spent alot of money this year man. But I'm glad this is the best Christmas for me in like 4 years. Cos I'm spending it with all my treasured friends! And, it's already a miracle that the Christmas party is holding over 80 youths! Ain't that such a blessing to hear. Lord, please work in the lives of those who do not yet know you. Amen.

Bought a beautiful gift exchange for the party that I like myself =) So if you guys/gals want it, remember it's from Peter. Lolx.

Went DoTA just now at Paradiz with the guys. Had one good game, but didn't enjoy when I knew my friend didn't enjoy it. Hey bro, cheer up k? I really don't like to see ya so down. And I wanna say, that God will move in our party this Friday. Do you guys believe it with me?

So tomorrow, I'll be meeting Kenneth, Ben, and Aaron again. Cos they're not done with their shopping sprees and want to feed the Singaporean Economy till it's overflowing. Ok, can't wait to see ya guys in the party! God Bless!

First in a long time

Hey, to all people who have been wondering how come I have been MIA.. I've had some problems in getting to blogspot for logging in all that stuff. Been a long time man, and I really miss blogging.

Will be staying at home today to rest from the 9-hour shopping frenzy we had yesterday with Aaron, Ben, and Ken. Madness. But it was a joy to know we could be blessings to the people around us ya? Christmas had never been so fun for a long time. Thanks Lord.

I wanna encourage all those whom I've been reaching out to. (Jerome, EQ, Jerald, Ken etc), to continue to be a blessing to others. Never stop even if life throws you all the bad and ugly stuff. People in this generation were born for a time like this.

I want to tell u guys out there that I love you guys very much (pun intended). Haha. And I will not let anything come in the way of our friendships. Charlene told me this the other day -

"Revealing your weaknesses to your friends is never easy. But that is what will strengthen the friendship and bring it to higher heights."

I wanna grow strong in God. I know that in all that I do, I wanna please Him and that's all that matters. Encouragement may not be easy to express when you're down. Love may be a chore. "But when you choose to continue to Love when life is hard, that is, my brother, Character." (James, thanks for those words, meant alot to me)

So take care this week, as Christmas approaches. It's gonna be a beautiful Friday and Sunday. Looking forward to a time of great fellowship and sharing this Christmas. Till then, stay healthy and drink more water! Lolx.

God Bless.

Oh ya, btw.. I will always place a Pic of the Day. So here's today's. Enjoy. Lolx..
