Canningvale Market.........i never would have thought i would ever step foot there,i couldnt even believe the fact that i woke up at 5.50am just for that.

Was it an eye opener? Yes
Was it interesting? Depends
Was it worth it? Should be
Will i go there again? Maybe.....but if i can help it no!
Why did i go there in the first place? I accidentally made a promise with Janice to help her out
in the market if she was to prepare dinner for us
What did i learn? Plentiful!Seafood is cheap.Cheap as in extremely
extraordinary-ly out of the world cheap.
The down-side? Because its cheap, you get to see many kiasuism around
especially the aunties and uncles.And you stink of fish!

Baptism

Finally.............after weeks of studies, i'm able to find just enough time to squeeze in an update about my baptism.Well it took place 4 weeks ago..and here is my testimony for those who had missed it both time at the baptism venue and at church last week.Hope that somehow or another, God will be able to reach out to you through my testimony.


Chritianity use to be just a word. To me its only purpose was to categorized people into different groups. I became a Christian without knowing why I became a Christian or how to be one. I don’t even remember when I became a Christian. I was even baptized when I was only a few month old. To me being a Christian was a status and it was like a vip pass to heaven, nothing else. I was a wild person back then. I resort to physical violence and fights to solve problems. My life was filled with drinking,clubbing, gaming and partying. I thought it was the best way to live a fulfilled life. But I was never fulfilled at all. There’s a part of me that always felt empty no mather how much I drank or partied . This lifestyle didn’t change even when I first came to Zion in early 2005, I disliked it. People here were so persistent. You cannot imagine to what length they will go to just to get me to church. Once Kong stole my room key, so that he could drag me out of bed on Sunday morning. But the worst case was Alphonsus banging my room door consistently for 10 -15 min every Sunday morning. I emphasize the word “BANG” not knock. But then it was because of this same group of people that I finally saw what it truly meant to be a Christian. It wasn’t their persistency or their consistent annoyance that changed me. Instead it was how they live their live that moved me. I saw the sacrifices that they would undergo to watch over others. Remember that I said my life was a mess back then and that I’m always involves in fights,and i was basically a failure in almost anything i did, it was bcos of this very factor that even my mum disliked me. She would say how much she regretted having a son like me, and how worthless I was to the family,she use to beat and cane me to the age of 16,besides that, she would prefer to trust others rather than her own son. This was my own mum i'm talking about and there are still parents of others would always tell their children to keep away from me, that no good can come from me, even till today . But despite this, God lit up my life with frens such as alphonsus. When everyone was criticizing me, he prayed for me. While others kept their distances, Gen step out and offered me encouragement. They help me realized that the emptiness I felt inside me was a void that only God could fill. God was the only puzzle piece that filled that gap, nothing else could fit in.Through them, God taught me that a name doesn’t define your life,but it is how you live your life that defines your name. He also showed me that sometimes, our lives are the only bible some people would ever read. Through this I was able to understand that Christianity isn’t just any word, but that Christianity is a lifestyle. And it was because I wanted to be that living bible to others that I decided to rededicate my life to God once again last year, to live my life the way he has called me to. And baptism, baptism was a choice that I made as a public declaration of my obedience to God but ultimately, I wanted to set my heart right with him. It’s the least I can do to put a smile on his face. Thank you

Me after i got dunk in the water.

I'm not much and i'm also an underachiever when compared to my other friends,But my God is big,there isnt one thing i couldnt do when i lean on him. There isnt a day that goes by without him lifting me up.I may not be even close to the standards of the world,but he was proud of me the way i am.There is nothing that i can do to make hime love me less or love me more.Father, this is the least i can do to say thank you.
