Welcome back!
Alright, I know I've just posted yesterday's post, yeah like I've mentioned, was really exhausted from all the excitement.
Every single day with the Lord is really getting better and better! Likewise, today is another fantastic day spent with the Lord. Started off the day by waking up at around 10a.m. and made my way to expo. Met up with Xiao-hei (Lexmi) and Tiffany at expo, and then we proceeded to hall 8 for the talentime at 12p.m.
Talentime had contestants performing dance, vocal, band, hosting, drama and even rapping! Fierce competition indeed, each competitor really gave their best and the performance is great. There is like so much undiscovered talents out there! The Emerge event is really a great event as it really helps to pick out the different talents available.
Until around 3p.m, the talentime program ended and Lexmi left us to join her cellgroup. So left with Tiffany and I. Went to hall 7 to look for Guisheng (He's supporting Jinlong for the NYP captain's ball event). We headed to the foodcourt to eat after awhile and also packed lunch for Jinlong.
Went back to hall 7 at 4p.m and had to queue for awhile before we can actually enter hall 8. Praise the Lord that even thou the crowd and the queue is long today, we manage to get in and secure seats. Today's event includes, make-up, costume, and design finals, "Who wants to become a missoniary" finals.
And really amazed by the design talents of the young people in the competition. There are able to design the costumes all by themselves and also professional make-ups on their own model. For the "Who wants to become a missionary" finalist, only one team got the max prize money which is $500 cash EACH (one team 3 member).
And we got Liu Gen Hong from Taiwan (good friend of Jay Chou) to sing two songs for us. After the 2nd song, He invited his girlfriend up on stage, and thats where he proposed to her right infront of all the crowd. Wow very romantic indeed, public proposal. And she agreed! (Well, she can't say no =x).
Pastor Kong decided that today the place is filled with Love, therefore the preaching is shortened, and today yes, the word is all about how much we love our precious God. Do we love Him as much as he love us? Are we willing to give up our life for Jesus whom gave up His for us?
And today, we ended at 9.50p.m. Where we actually get a chance to go bedok (about 10 of us from N20) to fellowship(we reached at 10.45p.m.) But yah, two different tables and after eating we just went home as it was already 11.30p.m.
Here I am, blogging, about the wonderful today, that is so well spent in my father's house. I am so looking forward to tomorrow, which is the very last day of EMERGE 2007. Hope that my friends, you all would be able to turn up for the finale tomorrow, where it would be packed with lots of people. Therefore if you are really coming. Do come 1-2 hour earlier.
Take care everyone! God Bless ya!

wow.
one word to describe yesterday's EMERGE conference:
OVERWHELMING!Wow. really a great performance and sermon.
I started off by attending the 1st session in the morning at 10a.m. There was worship, praise and prayer just like normal service and also the brainest youth finals. After that session, there was a long break inbetween where people can go and see some other activities in another hall (7) like, 3-3 basketball, soccer, arm wrestling. There were also backdrops for people to take photograph with and also many stalls selling a variety of food.
2p.m. later in the afternoon, my cellgroup mates and I went back to the hall to see the word power finals. I am so amazed by the 6 groups up on the stage, which are categorize by their campuses like, NTU, SIM/SMU and NUS. They are suppose to memorize 40 different verses, after which they are tested by given with a short phase (around 3 - 4 word) and they have to recite out the full verse WITH the punctuations, the chapter and verse number.
It ended at 4p.m. which we had to leave the hall. When we got outside, the queue for the 6p.m session is already super long. So yeah we queue for 2hrs before we finally got in. The bad part is friends whom we've invited are unable to join us because they came slightly later, and the response is so overwhelming that we have NO SPACE !! no space inside, super bad and they were waiting outside.
A few friend of mine, feeling hot and naturally frustrated, decided to leave. And here's something i wanna state it out. Dear friends, if you came with a wrong purpose and there's no point coming if you are really expecting something to happen but yet you close your heart. How do you receive when you do not reach out? How can anything come in when the door is closed? I hope this setback, this disappoint have not made u close your heart on God.
We really have to grow up, being matured. Not just physically matured, but mentally and spiritually matured. No point being big on the outside and small on the inside.
But thank God, I have another group of friends whom stayed and actually made it to watch the service in hall 7 where they have projectors. Praise the Lord that they stayed till the Parade of Schools ended. However it was a waste they went off before the word. But Im really glad that at least they really turned up. Thank God for that.
My sincere apologies that I am unable to play a good host to all of you in my father's house. I'll praying for all of you, hoping that you'll be able to be like US, understanding what made the change in our life.
God bless all of you.
The service was really enjoyable, we all went so high with all the dances, parade of schools, and even the taiwanese singer, TANK came and sang two songs for us. SUN came back secretly to visit us, and Faye from F.I.R was present too. However Faye could not sing here because she was seriously too expensive to hire. Best of all, our service was broadcast LIVE all over the world, in places like the United States on Christian TV. Normally government would charge around $3k for the broadcast, but praise the Lord, we got it for FREE!.
Shuttle Bus was provided for us to reach various location in Singapore. And thank God there is a one which leads straight back to my home.
I'm so looking forward to the Emerge today. Although I am working currently, and unable to attend the morning session, I definitely would not miss the night session.
God bless everyone out there. And may everyone find their way home soon...
Take good care, cya!
