if God had my day planned in His daily planner, i think it'd look like this.
On the 30th November of Year 2006. Henzy David
-woke up at 12.30pm.
-played computer games until 2pm
-Watched Anime until 3pm
-read [Drawing Near] until 3.30pm
-took an afternoon nap until 5.30pm
-had dinner
-went out to meet Grace to take volleyball at 8pm
-walked her home
-got on the LRT at Pending station at about 9pm
-reached home at around 9.40pm
-started to post this entry at 9.58pm
haha. well, that's be interesting ain't it. but i don't think God would need to have a daily planner. unlike us. i realised that i've actually started planning, which i don't usually do, for my holidays. unlike in the past, where i plan for the next day on the day before, i've actually improved to plan for a few days ahead. lol!
i love rainy days. okay, maybe not. But i occasionally love rainy days when i don't have anything to do. there's just that 'temptation' to go and soak yourself in the falling rain and get yourself all wet for the sake of it. the crazy things that i want to do. lol! well. maybe i like rainy days cuz i can enjoy a nice nap in the cool wheather. haha. yup.
alright. Magic of Love Christmas special. tickets going for free. no one's called me yet. so i guess advertising on my blog isn't really that effective huh. zZzZz... please come. Experience the love of a Father this Christmas at the Singapore EXPO Max Pavillion. Hosted by Singapore's 2nd biggest church(according to what i rmbr) Faith Community Baptist Church. garaunteed to move you to tears(that's if you ain't hard hearted that is. =P). come one, come all. oh come on! just come won't you! what the heck. its a world class show man. you don't know what you're missing out on.

finally got myself new shirts. too bad no pictures. both from Flesh Imp, one of which had a quite victorean print and the oter was just plain militarism. but both very nice. haha. got them while i was out with ben and keith at orchard today. or rather, my main purpose for going out was to get them. haha. walked around heeren first, then went to wisma atria's Flesh Imp store, since they didn't have the size for the shirt that i wanted at Heeren.
i was reading that book again. i'd promise to finish it by the end of this year. so i would. but finishing it isn't really the main purpose for me reading it. that'd be feasable but totally childish and unreasonable. i'd seriously recommend [Drawing Near] by author John Bevere to anyone interested in have a much more intimate relationship with God. it's a very nice read, and it also makes you realise quite alot of stuff that you yourself might not even know. so my take is, read it.
as i was reading yesterday. i realised that there are many Christians out there who seek God for what He can do(what He provides) instead of seeking God for what He really is(seeking His being). and i realised that I too have fallen into the first category sometimes. and that's where you shouldn't be. after all, God's not just your provider, but your Father as well. and He yearns to have intimacy with His children. so much so as to send His son to pay the price for our lives on calvary.
note: we shouldn't also seek the manifestation of God, eg. shaking, laughing, jumping, etc.
---------------------
well.. i guess i've still got alot to learn, and I sure need guidance and teaching along the way. its a long road. and when i took it, i wasn't intending on going back. its all the way, no other options.
"Some say you were weak, that you gave in. But that's the story of my life. You gave all you had, just for me."
that's what we're talking about. a Father's love for His children. I know that in this time, alot of people aren't really gettin the chance to experience the Father's love for them. be it your earthly father or the Father in Heaven. sometimes, it just strikes up something within me, and sometimes i even tear when i look upon those who are in these situations. its like, you know that, you can experience and feel that love for yourself, yet there are people out there who aren't feeling what you're feeling, aren't experiecing what you're experiencing. and you just can't help but take pity on them and feel bad for them.
do you really wanna know what and how a Father's love for their children is like? you want a chance to see that? then come for the Magic of Love this 15th and 16th of december. the true essence of the Love of a father displayed through awe inspiring magic tricks and illusions and a touching storyline. It's something that you definitely can't miss. take it, come, and experience the love of a father for once this Christmas. you won't regret it. i assure you.

just reached home not long ago, bathed and here i am bloggin. i had a great day, i mean it, and i know that its one of those things that you see on my blog almost everyday, so i'm tryin to find another more appealing alternative for it. so let's just wait and see huh. haha.
sad to say that I won't be dyeing my hair tomorrow but next wednesday instead. kinda left out the fact that I needed to make appointments with Dan to dye hair. haha. oh well. more time for my hair to grow huh. haha. talking about appointments, i had two today and both went off successfully.
the first one was the dental appointment to fix and check up on my tooth(or teeth) at the Health Promotions Board at Outram Park. woke up just in time to get outta my house, hop into a cab and make my way down to the place. but in the end, was still late for the appointment. haha. oh well, waited awhile and then was called in.
turned out that my teeth were fine. haha. just that there were a few holes here and there(i really mean here and there. which also means that there were two holes. haha). so, that was fixed and then i went for my 2nd appointment. the Crush Gameslab appointment. but it was lunch first.
well, something stupid happened, and that was that when i was rushing for the train, i accidentally tripped on one of the escalator steps and my left knee rubbed against my pants, then bled. oh well. its okay now, so it shouldn't be much of a problem. but, ahh! my knee!!!.. lol! i'm over-reacting.
-this seems like a super wordy post. but let me just finish it huh. haha. too bad i don't have my camera, if not i could get you guys some pictures, no! not of the injury! what the heck?!-
well, i stayed on at gameslab till about 8.30pm, from 3pm. played DotA and hero siege with some of Kelly's boys. but i only remember a certain Johnny and a certain Gerrad(forgot how to spell his name! lol!). then played another round of DotA with Stanley, Elkan and Stanley's boys. that last round was super funny! cuz mainly i was chionging behind enemy lines to kill any hero that i was hunting, and clearly, killed that hero and then got killed by another hero. stanley was like, 'I admire your bravery man.' and i was like, "Was that bravery or stupidity." haha. that was a portion of the funny-ness. and the rest of the game was super funny as well. haha.
--------------------
well, i kinda said a God Inspired philosophy about DotA just now. it was this.
"DotA is just like humans, the diversity, the unique-ness of the heroes. so there's no 'most powerful' or 'best hero'. instead, every hero has its own strengths and weaknesses. when you're able to find out and manipulate the enemy's weakness, and play on your own strengths, then you'll be able to 'conquer' the game."
haha. yeah. its really like us humans. each of us got our own weakness and strength. so the same logic applies. haha.
alright! off to read my book. haha. its been awhile since i touched it. =S so now its time to get back to it. haha.
-Sentosa this Friday. Any takers?
-Magic of Love, a world class Magic show/Musical. coming to you at the SG EXPO on the 15th and 16th of december. tickets on me. that's if you wanna go that is. gimme a ring if you do. or tag the tagboard.
haha, maybe i shouldn't really be complaining about M'sia. its got its pros and cons. haha. i'll just accept it for what it is from now on. but i just still don't like going there for retreats/advances that is. haha. and aahhhh! i didn't get to go to the Flesh Imp store today! i wanna buy more shirts!!! zZzZzZz..haha.. ok.. signing off.

well, its was a good day for me. although waking up with a severe splitting headache of no found cause, the rest of the day was good.
It was ~Dashing thru the rain, on only my two feet. gettin really wet, then was dry again.~ that was really much my journey to meet up with Ben thru the rain. headed for city hall next, but i took a slight detour to raffles place, since i needed to meet up with a friend who wanted to intro me to some new business plan thing. got there and had found out that i wasted quite an amount of time. since i had plainly no interest in it. so, headed for city hall to find ben, then headed for the NTUC Trade Union Building. in other words, O School.
finally registered for the dance classes, but the sad thing was that its gonna start next year, jan to feb. sighs. thought it'd be this year. so in the meantime, its guitar lessons with EeJay. hopefully he can find a slot in his busy schedule to place in the lessons. haha.
met up with DaJie Joadine shortly after, at Marina Square, and Jasper shortly appeared after that. and then went shopping! for a short while. but i found something else that looks nice on me. haha. or rather, it was more of dajie's suggestions. but if she didn't tell me to go try, then i wouldn't have known that it fits well on me. haha. its jacket from 4skins.
after that, we met up with Eejay at peninsular plaza, and then had dinner at the burger king across the road. haha. realised that Burger King downsized their drinks! what the heck! now we're like paying the same amount as before, for something we can easily get a macdonalds. oh crap! sianz.. but oh well. had a nice chat with all of em. nice time to catch up. haha. yeah. hopefully can go for more outings like this. haha.. yeah!
Anyone for Magic Of Love? 16th & 17th December Evening, 17th December Afternoon, call me up. ticket price negotiatable.(or they can be on me, either way).
Sentosa this friday! any takers? the sun sand and sea awaits you. come on come all. lol..

I AM BACK! haha! and it feels so good to be back! woohoo!!!!!!! I sooo love SG!
going to malaysia has made me realise how much i've taken for granted this country called Singapore. not to say that i'm bias or whatever but that's something that I've realised. haha. the Technology in SG is so great! well, maybe i could've been homesick, but yeah. SG rox!
well, it was my CG advance that brought me to M'sia. If it weren't for that, I seriously wouldn't even consider the thought of stepping over for more than a day. I'd personally choose somewhere else, Sentosa was my first choice. haha. so we stayed out at the Mount Austin Golf Club, although i think none of us knows how to play golf. haha.
couldn't say that it was one of the best advances, but it was good. felt God work in each and everyone of us during the period of time there. it was about going back and knowing the Holy Spirit again, and planning for the year to come. a good time of bonding between the brothers and a time for us to better know each other. after the second day, I was super tired that i slept at what? 9pm. that's a change. a day there and i was wishing i was home. and soon enough, that wish came true, and i was finally back this morning.
don't get me wrong, the lodging there isn't as bad as i described it. it was just my feel of the country. haha.
service today was great. Pastor preached about healing and not only did he do that, but he also prayed for healing among the Church. at the end of the sermon, pastor called forth all those who had sicknesses, diseases, illnessess and pains and prayed over them. not only did the Holy Spirit move, He moved powerfully. Praise God for that.
it was dinner at Tampines mall after that, Pastamania! again! what the heck. haven't eaten so many times at pastamania in my whole lifetime. gosh. then it was homeward bound. still super tired. haha. well, now that I've got the Pirates of the Caribbean; Dead Man's Chest VCD, I am happy!! haha.
I wanna draw closer to God. that's my desire. so come, Holy Spirit, bring down the presence of the Lord. draw closer to me, as I draw closer to you.

since it was my brother's birthday today, biological. we went to swensons for a celebrative dinner. ya.. after that, seeing that my family got something for themselves too. i wanted to get myself something too. haha. so i got for myself a "Death Note" notebook. lol! pretty cool the thing is. haha. leathery exterior, papery interior. lol. what do you expect from a notebook? haha.
alright. i can say that i'm not even prepared for my cell advance tomorrow. haha. haven't packed yet. but my heart's ready. haha. =D oh well. gotta go guys.i'll be gone for the next three days. be back on sunday morning. don't miss me. =P i know you won't. haha. if u do need anything though, feel free to leave me a message on my hp or tagboard. haha. take care.

-------------
-Trybe Centre-
headed down to tampines right after getting up, heating and eating my breakfast. headed for Trybe Centre to more or less slack. haha. yeah, they were havin the Train the Trainers[TTT] there when i arrived, it was already halfway thru the session. and i wasn't really doing anything there anyway. lol. like i said, i went thr to slack. haha. and so i did. haha.
-Vivo City-
headed for Vivo city after that, with most of the Trybe TTT people with me on the train, the journey was quite an enjoyable one. haha. people consisting of Ming Lee, SiokYit, Tommy and more. reached Vivo and took a walk around alone awaiting Ben's arrival. then walked around somemore, cuz ben wanted to look for some stuff, and saw Olivia, Frans' sister. haha. then had dinner.
was abit disappointed cuz the 'floating bookshop' a bookshop in a ship had 'floated' away. but oh well. haha.
I realised that our character runs into our works too. haha. i'm tired. haha. gonna go off now.
-I Don't wanna be what I am. I ain't gonna settle for the norm. I wanna be what I really am. It's my style to be outta the ordinary, and I ain't gonna let my fear stop me.-

a day passed is a day gone. haha. wat the heck was that? oh well. i didn't step out of my house today! woohoo!! how boring is that?!?! lol. actually, its not that boring, since i had the accompaniment of Anime, games, a book and our God, it turned out pretty fine. haha. completed the battlefront campaign today, and also thought alot about things. for example, my relationship with God, and whether or not to go dancing. haha.
--------------
a good question for today, is why, or what has turned your attention away from God. or rather, what are you allowing to fill your 'appetite'? material, or God?
see, what i realised today is that if one allows materials, or things of the world, to satisfy his(or her) appetite, then he wouldn't care much about God, cuz the things that he seeks isn't God, but materials. see, all of us hunger for what we feed on. If we constantly fill our lives with the things of this world, which are temporal, then we would be satisfied with just that. But, if we constantly feed ourselves with the Word of God, then we'd set aside time for prayer, for things that concern God. and slowly developed and desire more of the intimacy with God.
--------------
see what books can give ya? this realisation came from the book [Drawing Near] by John Bevere. its a really good book. for those who are interested in having a life of intimacy with God that is, I for one, am one of those people. I'd highly recommend that you read it too. haha..
oh well. that's that huh. haha. yay! gonna change phone soon, but it won't be the one that I want. No, not the inbuilt GPS, slide mp3 player, slide phone, multifunction miniature computer N95, sadly enough, but the N80. haha. good enough. why? cuz its not out yet, and i need a new phone! and also cuz my plan ended last october. and i didn't even know! lol!
oh well. I wanna go to Sentosa!!!!!! any takers? haha. signing off. =D
anyone for a world class magic musical, the Magic of Love? please please please come! its a very very good show! very touching, very inspiring. haha. any takers? tag me on my tagboard! i'll contact you soon as i see it.

Anime and the Coach Carter movie filled my afternoon. this was followed by a 'celebrative' dinner at Billy Bombers with PeiQi, Jasper and Wayne, whom appeared shortly after the first two. after that, accompanied peiqi and took the bus, and then headed for home. this is the 'day' part of the post. what's coming up next, is my personal feelings and a short 'sermon'. read, only if you're interested. Here I go.
------------
Basically, the time has come. It's a time where things in the spiritual realm grow and start revealing themselves, a time where we must be prepared, a time where all of us will rise up in spirit and in power.
I can sense it, in the recent few weeks, God's presence has been growing stronger and stronger with me. and my relationship with Him, stronger than ever. I feel totally different from before, and God has called me out to do more for Him than ever before. I love it, I love this feeling. its like knowing that God's always by your side, never left you ever. I want to grow strong, i want more of it. i'm hungry for Him, for His love, for His power. I wanna draw nearer to Him. I want to serve Him with all I've got. watch me. I'm gonna do just that!
However, as I grow, more and more does the dark side grow stronger, more and more do i feel the darkness of the spiritual realm. this afternoon, i distinctly heard a whistling of the star wars tune as I was playing battlefront. I knew it wasn't from the game, and i knew i heard it with my right ear. scary? but I know why, and i'm not gonna let it stop me. the closer one grows to God, the more the devil tries to scare and take you away from it. and now, after going through all the obstacles i've faced before, I ain't gonna let this take me away, I ain't gonna allow myself to fall from grace anymore. I'm gonna trust God. I know he'll make a way. I know He won't let me come to harm.
I sense that the 'spirit of the season' is rejection. i can feel it. from the people around me, from even my own experiences. I know it, somehow or rather, I just do. but in whatever I do, i'll always ask myself, "what is your fear?" and i tell myself, "If this fear is not holy fear, the fear of God, then i suggest that you cast it out in Jesus name." i find it very effective, even when i'm helping others. it plays a crucial role.
------------
I just want to share one final thing with you all.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world; there is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine just as children do, it's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same, as we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
-Timo Cruz (Coach Carter)
what is your deepest fear? I felt that this 'quote' is very true, and very meaningful indeed. that sometimes, we fear that we are too powerful for even ourselves. but it is true, that there is nothing wrong with bringing ourselves to the standards of those who are below us, the poor and the needy, those who need God. the Light of God, is in all of us, and it was meant to shine brightly to serve as a beacon of hope for those who know not the way. so let us all shine! Shine for God, so as to allow us to serve Him, to glorify Him! and most importantly, to save those that we hold so dear to our hearts.
Brothers and Sisters, My Brethren, let us Shine for the Lord Jesus! Let us bring Glory to God. Let us save the lost. Fret not, for if God is with us, who can be against us! Our time has come! the Hour is near, the Harvest is ready, Let's do what we can. Let's draw nearer and desire the intimate relationship that God desires more to have than us. Rise Up! the Time has come!
------------
that's all. God Bless.

its over!!.. now i can officially declare the End of the O level exams! finally! ok. gonna go shoot driods. post later.. haha.
any invites for outings, please call me. i believe you have my number! haha.
Sunday, November 19, 2006
wow, imagine having to wake up at 8.30am on a sunday morning. you won't want to would you huh? haha. but i was glad to do it, and since i had to give PeiQi a wake up call at 8.45, i did. then i proceeded to prepare, and went off to meet up with the rest who were involved in choir today and off to Expo it was.
finally arrving at expo, grabbed a bite and headed for the 'choir room' to prepare, have modesty checks and so on, then it was air-time. guess i messed up abit while doing the actions for 'King of Majesty' and i perspired alot, but in the end, it was a successful choir duty. haha. wonderfully done if i say so myself. haha.
and true enough, agreeing to what i predicted(or felt) a few posts back, the sermon today was indeed powerful. with Pastor preaching on the Holy Spirit's power and Him being a person instead of a form, the whole Church was invited to the front to receive the gift of tongues.
in short, the Holy Spirit is often mistaken to be a form, be it wind, fire, doves or oil. but in truth, the Holy Spirit is a being, or rather, a Him and in truth, the Holy Spirit, He's God in the now. the one who works and makes sure everything happens. without Him, things would not work out right. so the moral of the story, don't disregard and 'look down' on the Holy Spirit.
following the service, it was dinner at Plaza Singapura and then we(Huiyu, Jessica, Ben, Melvin &Jess's cousin) were all set for our final destination for the day. Home.
------------
I really believe that what you ask for will be given to you, since the day that i asked God to use me for His will, I've been doing things that I myself never thought I'd do, like interpret dreams for instance, and experiencing a joy that I could never experience by doing the things of this world. indeed, i thank God for using me for His will. I want more, I want to do more!
well, I've got a long holiday ahead of me. and i've got four major things i want to do during this holidays. i was planning to learn dance, guitar and japanese. jap which i kinda felt was optional. and the last but most important thing, is to read my Bible more. i've asked for assistance on my guitar 'lessons' from EeJay shu already, while i'm currently still considering my options for dance. but that should be confirmed soon. haha.
right, last paper tomorrow! Enjoyment, await the coming of Henzy David! or on screen, Mhystry! wahahahaha!!..

oh gosh, i overspent today. darn. first time i go out and i overspent. haha. oh well, guess i'll have to save again. haha. right, on with the post!
after gleefully and finally getting my earphones, i went down to Bugis to meet up with the Boon Lay Sec captain ball girls. well, i kinda forgot most of them already, cept for Shila, Kaileng,Candy and yinleng. lol. and Frans was supposed to be there too! but he abandoned me there! no lah, he was too busy. haha. so the whole group of us, consisting of 8 people, from what i rmbr, walked around bugis. or rather, i was just following them around. haha. after that, headed over to parkway parade.
wandered around alone for awhile, them met up with Bryan, Yew Chong and Wayne, but not after purchasing a book from Life Bookshop. the title's [Drawing Near] by a certain John Bevere. then proceeded to have dinner with Jasper, Alvin, JunJie and the three i mentioned earlier at Pastamania. and off to Tribe meeting it was.
--------------
I really really really wanna thank God. even though I can't get to go down for altar tomorrow cuz i'm on for choir, but He really let me experience His power tonight. I finally understand the meaning and feeling of 'tears of joy' and 'holy laughter' tonight. while i was being prayed for by my ah-pa[Cell leader], these words were ringin in my mind. 'I am your servant, I will serve. I am your servant, I will serve.' it was like me telling God that. and God spoke to me. saying
If you do my will, you will experience a joy everlasting. a joy that's unfound in this world.
and he let me experience it there and then. I was glad. I was overjoyed, I was speechless. thank you Lord! thank you Father. I Love ya.
--------------
well.. that's it for tonight huh. anyone interested in watchin me on stage? please come for service tomorrow. haha. 1.30pm, EXPO hall10. haha. sayonara for now! God Bless.

finally got to eat my macdonalds breakfast today. haha, or rather, i finally woke up for it and i enjoyed it! haha. headed for my POA paper1 shortly after that. then played some basketball after the paper. basically, my whole day was spent in front of the computer screen. gaming. and also listening to praise and worship songs.
i felt God's touch through the words of the songs, a particular one, sparked me to want to do more for God. stand out for Him. and just plainly seek Him more. but what made me think to most was the background of the song. the people or rather, the congregation singing in the background, in unity. one voice, one heart all to worship the Father in Heaven. at this point, I saw a magnificent and awe inspiring sight. that all the world was standing before the throne of heaven, worshipping God in one voice.
it just dawned upon me if that God was proud at the time that the congregation of the song was singing to Him in one voice, how much more proud would He be when the whole world gathers to come before His throne to worship Him. imagine that people of God, imagine that! so i tell you the truth, when you worship God, worship Him in spirit and in truth. don't even let one inch of your soul not go into worshipping God. He deserves it, He deserves it all.
I'll stand, with arms high and heart abandoned
in awe, of the one who gave it all
I'll stand, my soul Lord to you surrendered
All I am is yours.

i'll skip everything that happened today and get to the main event, hmm. maybe not.
in short, this is what happened today
-Dota and Warcraft with Jasper
-Met Jasper and went from Bugis to Vivo City
-Got some chocolate which looks like potato chips, they're called Hershey Swoops
-bumped into JuLee and Alvin at Harbourfront Mall
-headed down to Bukit Merah and chilled out at the Crush GamesLab
-dinner
-choir
Choir rehearsal was great! at TCT, so had to travel all the way down to Bukit Merah, glad it wasn't at TC, or i'd die going down to Marine Parade. the song list was changed, so the order of the songs now is different, but i'll keep it a surprise for u guys. haha. we were then lined up into positions, and off to the consolidation room to learn the actions. after that, it was the main rehearsal with the dance crew, band and worship team. the dancers were quite cool, if i say so myself. haha, actions and all. yes, Chrislyn, that includes you, if you're lookin at this that is. haha..
the rehearsal ended, with all things said and done, and we went back. Ben, Cerwin, Huiyu, PeiQi and me. haha.. and PeiQi was super high tonight man. haha. she was like, self entertaining and super funny man. and throughout the ride, she was talking non-stop! haha. super funny lah. haha..
dropped off at clementi and got a bus home, since i was personally requested to do so. but i'm glad i did. since Peiqi and Cerwin prayed for me there and then, at the bus stop. which felt funny but oh well. a prayer is a prayer and it can be done anywhere anytime. haha. and then i'm home.
----------
personally, i felt God's presence there during the rehearsal. i nearly teared when pastor was describing God being mighty to save. oh great, i just released one of the song titles. haha. pastor jhee was saying that there's no sin that God can't break. and there and then i felt God tell me the same few words. it was like God saying, "Son, there's no sin that i can't break." really, thank God. even though i can't go to the altar on sunday. God let me feel what He'd do on sunday right there and then. it's gonna be an awesome power packed service this sunday, i can just feel it. God's power and presence's gonna fall down in hall10 on sunday. just wait and see. Praise God! Praise God!
---------
yup. that's it for tonight, tomorrow's the 2nd last O level paper for me. God Bless. thanks for reading my blog. =)

so it comes to this. the Principles of Accounts O levels paper. as I sat in the hall, i was wondering, why am I here, which part of my freaking mind came up with this super bright idea? but on the other hand, i was like, Oh Well, i'm here already, let's glorify God with whatever it might turn out to be huh. haha..
so, two hours later i stepped out of the exam hall with a finally-it's-over feeling. haha, and then i thought, oh darn, got another 1 hour of it on friday. just great huh. oh well. after that's over, another 1 hour on monday for science multiple choice and i can officially declare that the O levels are over. although i already did it, just unofficially. haha.
yes, choir rehearsal is tomorrow! long live the day that i stand on the stage serving God in choir! lol.. i just love doing it that i can keep doing it over and over again. but the thing is that i won't be able to go down for altar call. that's not a good thing, since i realised that the recent altar calls and sermons have been increasingly powerful. i just love a powerful sermon. haha. but I love the one who sets the stage for the sermon more! by giving inspiration and revelation to the speakers, and that 'person' is God!! yay! Praise God! Praise God! haha
happily taking in my Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Bar! haha! i just love chocolate, all kinds, cept for white that is. haha. and i guess i'm hooked onto 'The Freedom We Know'!! haha. we're gonna dance dance dance in the freedom we know, gonna dance dance in the freedom we know...

The Freedom We Know

Intro:
We're gonna dance dance dance
In the freedom we know
We're gonna dance dance
In the freedom we know
We're gonna dance dance dance
In the freedom we know
Because the freedom we know is gonna last forever
Verse 1:
The world turns in all of its ways
But I'm soul set on a holy name
And when all earth is said and done
Still I will praise Him
Verse 2:
There's no end to the love that He gives
And now broken dreams have life again
In the hope of the risen King
So let us praise Him
PreChorus:
A mystery unthinkable
That He took the fall just to save my soul
Now to love is the life I know
On and on and on we'll be singin'
Chorus:
Soul set free in the One I love
Oh come on come on
And let the whole earth sing
In the freedom we know
Come on come on and praise Him
Verse 3:
Come come all the lost and the found
Let us rise up with a holy sound
All the earth unified as one
Just to praise Him
Verse 4:
In full view with nothing to hide
Like a city on a hill we're gonna shine
In the light of Your freedom
Let us praise Him
PreChorus
Chorus
Bridge:
We're gonna dance dance dance
In the freedom we know
We're gonna dance dance
In the freedom we know
We're gonna dance dance dance

its a plain ol' day down here in a small part of SG. its been a boring afternoon, don't really have much to do since its still considered the O level period. can't go out since no one wants to. haha. oh well.
so i decided to install battlefront 2 on my home PC. and boy was I in for a shock. ulitmate man! space battles and ground battles at optimum graphics. the occasional lag but it doesn't crash on me. haha. Keith's either gonna kill me or take my com. lol!..
hmm.. for those who've been following my blog or have seen my msn display name. you would've see a word like this [Mhystry]. if you're wondering what it is, you've come to the right place.
---------------
basically, i've been looking for a nice screen name for myself. Since, 'frost' and 'light' are too commonly used, and 'TheBrethrenInc.' is too long to remember, and i wanted something original and outta the box. I came up with Mhystry.
what does it mean? well, its got alot of meanings this word. but the most basic, is the decription of myself. derived from the word 'Mystery'. so, that's my new screen name, or rather a nickname. haha.
---------------
hmm, tomorrow, have to go back to school again, sighs. haha. what's more is that i've gotta be there at 2pm. of all the timings to place an examination. gah! but look on the bright side, at least its ending soon, another 3days of papers, another 4 hours of sitting in the hall, gazing into the great nothingness. haha.. might as well huh?
my iTunes' playin : The Freedom We Know, Hillsong.
=====added at 1.15am=====
was pissed, no particular good reason to be pissed but i just was. guess i was too bored or had no one to talk to. oh well. i decided to take it out on some clones.
and so i did. not that i hate the clone troopers, i love using them. but i just couldn't not use grevious to take out some anger. haha. i'm fine now. better. no, it doesn't mean that i'm gonna start killing people when i get angry or anything. its just that, haha. no reason. =D
oh by the way. Mhystry, its pronounced as how you would normally pronounce 'Mystery'. for meanings -> http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/mystery.
thanks for taking time out to view my blog. =D come back tomorrow for another interesting post. hopefully. xD good night.

and I can finally declare that I've been to the Grand Cathay! lol. finally know where it is. heard people talkin about it but never really knew where it was. haha. it lives up to its name of being 'grand' man. haha..

went down to church earlier today. since i was asked to do so, and I so said i would. so i did. haha. with Huiyu and Ben, since she had choir duty this week. so, hanged around, drew abit until service started.
the service was power packed today. and God's presence was truly there. around the end of the service, when Ps Melvyn talked abt God wanting to reaffirm those who've been plowing and reaching out, pouring their hearts out into people's lives but always been rejected or pushed away and became discouraged or hurt. and also about helping those in need whenever they come along. I began to shed tears. alot of em. then i heard God speak to me, saying this.
Do to those the good you can do, and you will receive my Spirit.
i went down to the altar and felt this heat radiating around my left ear when the person was praying for me. really broke down and cried. I believe at that point of time, God was really working in me. i really can't explain much on this, i'm still feeling the after effects of it. still filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. now i know what it means to be 'Drunk with the Holy Spirit'. haha. *smiles*
-----------------
next week's my turn for choir. haha. its a great feel. lol. saturday morning, going for breakfast with ah-pa, ivan and melvin. go drink tea and eat dim-sum. lol. after service, went with Keith and Ben for dinner, since Jessica and Huiyu didn't want to come with us. they wanted to have their own sister time. haha. on the way back from city hall, saw Chrislyn and her grp of friends on the train.
while i was walking home from the MRT station, i was more or less thinkin of what titles i'd have. and i thought of this.

woke up real early to get to Trybe Centre today. why? cuz it was the Trybe Stressball tournament! we for breakfast with Jasmine, Keith, Ben, Elijah and Jasper at a hawker centre near Trybe centre. den signed on the wall and headed in for the tourney. got teamed up with Parthi. yeah, a two man team. but Joan and Nabila came to join us to make the teams even.
boy was it a blast i tell ya! 4 people per team, hurling stressballs at each other. although we lost in the 1st round, we had fun. I also participated in the Grudge Match;Staff VS Volunteers. that round was super funny, like all the rules were lifted. havoc sia! in the end, Kenneth's team won, and all of us went home with a stressball each.
--------------
headed to cineleisure after that, cuz we(Ben, Keith, Me) wanted to look for a place with Star Wars Battlefront 2. since we can't have 3 people on one/two computers. lol. but to our dismay, there were none. so had lunch at burger king, then walked around heeren and then headed for home.
--------------
it's that time of the year again. a time where i come to think of all the things i've done. to friends, close friends, family, and loads of stuff that i've done. which lead me to realise that because of something else, i didn't keep my word to some people. because of personal gain, rage, anger, jealously, i've wronged others and caused them harm. because of my own selfish desires, I've made decisions that aren't me at all.
recently, i've also been doing things that are 'not me' at all. too personal to give examples, i'd choose not to say to prevent the people involved to be harmed again.*this applies for the above too* then, i came to a conclusion. If I don't stop myself from doing things that are 'not Me', i'm gonna allow history to repeat itself. the history of totally losing my personality and having it change to another one. and boy I don't want that to happen I tell ya. so, yeah.
Lord, I just ask that you come to me again, cleanse me, sanctify me, stop me from going down the wrong way. I pray that those who I've wronged forgive me, and those whom I did not keep my word to forgive me too. I know i've made my mistakes, and i don't wanna make them again. I pray Lord, that you help me to follow you, send your Holy Spirit down to me to guide me, and prevent myself from doing stuff that I don't want to or shouldn't do. Help me in making decisions and keeping my word. and allow me to overcome this to have a better relationship with you. I thank you and I claim your forgiveness over my sins. I know this because you died for me on the cross. Thank you Lord, for all you've done, for looking over and after me, in Jesus most precious and mighty name I pray this, Amen. --- David.

Day5 of the O levels, Math paper 2. this one was a killer i tell ya. i felt somewhat paralyzed during the paper, partly because i didn't know how to do some of the questions, and partly because i didn't have lunch nor breakfast. plus, the rain was so heavy that the hall leaked again. oh man! but lookin at it in a more positive manner, at least i tried my best and managed to finish almost all of the questions.
after the paper, I went down to jurong point. along with me were Jeremy, Aziemah and Insyirah. my main purpose there was to get my game, which i shall overview for you later, and to check out the trucker caps at 77th street. however, i didn't get the cap.. haha. but i did get the game.
on the way there, some funny incidents happenened, firstly, on the bus, there was this girl sleeping in the seat behind mine, i didn't know, so i turned around and saw her head resting upon my seat. i was like shocked man, totally.
on my way back home, met Cherie outside JP. who accompanied me till batok, cuz she was going to CCK. had a nice chat with her, and then headed for home.
Star Wars Battlefront II
finally got it. after so long. for you fans of shooting games and Star Wars, its a game that you might wanna consider. you can either play as Heroes from the movies or normal infantry units. hack, slack, shoot, bomb. which ever way best suits you, its found in the game. make use of Force powers and Armory, Dogfight in Tiefighters and X-wings.
my overall rating - 4/5 stars.
and just to satisfy your need to see what's in it, here are some screens.
the basic 501st infantry unit, a Clone Trooper. it's just the most classic and original way of playin it. you get the feel off being a part of the army itself. like ur in there, literally.
finally, my chance at having General Greivous' powers at my disposal! if you like heroes and lightsaber wielding, then this is the mode for you.
-------------
well, guess that's it for tonight. tomorrow! Trybe Centre! here I come!..

Post 170! target of beating the 'Frostwhisper Chronicles' accomplished!
Day four of the O levels, today was Geography. turned out to be quite simple, once again, i made another freakin' careless mistake! not only did i not bring my calculator for the exam, *thank God that the one which they asked you to calculate gradient didn't come out* but i read the question wrongly. crap! so in turn, the answer was wrong. oh well, least the rest of the paper was good. haha.
got home at around 4pm, since the paper was at 2pm today. super sian lah, come back no one online, so i decided to go browse thru some blogs. haha. i dropped by EeJay's blog and i saw this post on gaming, in particular, Maple Story. so i decided to 'return' to the Maple World, or rather, Aquila, for a revisiting moment. haha. and i got some shots too.
ouch! that's gotta hurt man. seriously. 1179 damage, instantly knocked out.
and you thought maple was only about mushrooms and snails.
but still, my current all time favourite, Warcraft III; The Frozen Throne.
here we have the Lich, Rak Coldskull and the Death Knight, Lord Lightstalker. along with a mass of Crypt Fiends[spiders] and Frost Wyrms[Frost Wyrms]
the next game on my list, Starwars Battlefront II. this is a screen of my bro Keith playing as one of my all time favourite villians frm the series, General Greivous. ahh, killing Clone Troopers sure is fun! too bad i don't have the game yet. *stresses on the yet*
-------------
well. tomorrow i'm facing one of the last few O level papers, Math paper 2. 2hrs 30mins. and even worse, it starts at 2.30pm! wat the heck! gonna be sitting in the warm exam hall until 5pm, hopefully it doesn't rain, if not the ceiling's gonna leak again! just like today, but i wasn't affected. hmm, maybe it isn't such a bad thing after all, the rain cools down the day, doesn't make it that warm. ahh what the heck!
time really flies man, a total of 11 O level papers down. and a grand total of 15 exams that i've sat for, inclusive of oral and practical exams. really flies, this thing called time. another 4 more papers and i've cleared the Os! haha. next big challenge, finding stuff to do during the 4 months of holidays! wahaha.

after the last paper, went home, changed, grabbed the volleyball and some geography notes and went down to Chua Chu Kang to meet Grace. since she needed the ball on saturday. while i was waiting for her, read up on the manufacturing(or as i call it, manufac) notes. had a nice short chat with her when she arrived and then she had to leave. so i headed for Jurong point. throughout the whole journey down to JP, i was reading the manufac notes. haha. surprising sia.
reached jp to find my cap, and also to check out the Life bookstore. and indeed, the song "Behold the King" comes from Paradise Live's latest album [Set Me Free]. lol. after that, went to get dinner and then went home. haha. ahh. NFS Carbon is out! lol. but i don't think i'll be getting it. haha.

the cool morning breeze, the gentle light from the sun. greeted by these things in the morning is really something that many people don't come to enjoy. haha. well. Day 1 of the GCE O level examinations felt just like a breeze. all thanks to the intervention of the mighty hand of God.
today was Maths paper 1 and social studies. made a sicknening careless mistake in the math paper. totally had that stupid downcasting feeling for the whole day man. but what can i say? human error on my part. haha. went to west mall after the first paper, had a good lunch and revised abit, but no matter how hard i tried to revise, the things just wouldn't get into my head. didn't understand why. i wasn't being distracted or nothing, but it just felt that nothing went in, nothing came out. haha.
laying my hand onto that Social studies paper, i kept staring at the word 'Examination'. was like wondering, what the heck's with this word? why is it capturing so much of my attention? lol! it felt like as though we were being checked for qualifications, whether all we had learnt all these years had managed to get into us. haha.
went home after the SS paper, kinda took a break. sighs, feel so sleepy and tired man. but this is the last stretch, i guess its meant to be this way. I'm gonna trust God for tomorrow! my resolve's set! i'm gonna glorify God in anyway I can!
---------------------
Lord, I just wanna thank you. i got no words left to say man. i've failed ya so many times, but yet you're always there for me, always there to pick me up from the fall. always there to comfort me, to encourage me, to strengthen me everytime. i really don't know what to say to you God. all this while, its been you, up there, watchin over me. really, thank you Lord.
Now, grant me the strength to bring glory unto your name. that's what i wanna do for you Lord. don't let that fire and passion in me burn out. instead, let it flare up, ignite! for you Lord Jesus. for you Father God. thank you Lord.

its Henzy David back here bloggin.. today was great. the service was not so great but what happen at the altar was great.
I felt God's strength pour back into me. its like, a passion flaring up, a resolve being formed, a courage being woven together. i asked God to allow me to stand tall for Him. to be used to work wonders and miracles for Him. for the power to bring glory onto His name. I asked for God to use me for His will. these words were given to me today. "don't try to be someone else", "cast off your fear, God is always with you." and "God's gonna fill you. the Empty vessel makes the most noise, but its the one that God can fill the fullest."
after that, it was down to plaza Singapura's(again!) Pizza Hut to celebrate Melvin's birthday. lol, Keith, who just came back today, was super high lah. haha. today, had Melvin, Ben, Keith, Ivan, Frans, Jasper, Huiyu and Jessica with us. kinda enjoyed myself. it was like the celebration before the trial. haha.
so, today's the day before doomsday huh? or is it? i'm not gonna have that man. I believe that God will see me thru this, and empower me with the wisdom till the end. I will not speak words of failure or defeat! only words of victory and overcoming. its time, work for God.
Cast off your fear. face forward, look forward. Never stand still. Retreat and you will age. Hesitate and you will die.
these words seriously come into play very well at this time. quoted frm Zangetsu of bleach. lol! of all the places. haha. oh well.
God, i know you'll be there with me tml. there helping me, watching over me, aiding me, strengthening me, working through me. its time, its time for me to bring you glory. So come, and work wonders through your son. thank you Lord.

well. i'm kinda making up for this post since i accidentally deleted it. basically, this post is about the YCYPAO family day. haha.
woke up kinda early today, dragged myself out of bed and went to prepare. then reluctantly went down to the bus stop to meet up with Ivan and Melvin. then we headed for west coast park(wcp). along the way, we met PeiQi on the bus playing Pokemon on her gameboy.
reached there, had a light lunch, and went to join my group for the day, John. haha. actually didn't really feel like going there to participate in the activities since it was like, running around the field and the like. halfway thru, Ivan and Melvin went back, since both of them slept at 9.30am and 8.30am respectively. a short while later, Ben appeared. then i kinda let myself loosen up abit, and began to enjoy the games.
people i can rmbr who were in my grp are, Alvin, Jessica, Wayne, Samson, Kaiyee, Ben, Cerwin and 4 others whom i kinda forgot. haha. paiseh ah. not purposely wan.. haha. after that, took a group foto and finally took the cluster photo.
thru the games, actually learnt alot about Christian life. haha. lemmie elaborate on a few.
3-Legged Soccer
[1] God is always with you, not matter what.
[2] your family will always be there to support you, especially when you fall.
Dodgeball
[1] Satan will try every and any means neccessary to take you down, even resorting to using the people closest to you against you.
[2] No matter how you try to hide, the devil will always find a way to get you.
Tower Building Game - my group joined with the grp dat we were supposed to be competing against.
[1] We are all different portions of one body, thus we should work together to achieve greater stuff for God instead of competing against each other.
[2] we can make a collaborative effort with other churches to bring greater glory to God instead of focusing only on our own church strength.
yup. so that's that for the day. haha..

another whole day spent at home, studying and browsing thru the web. well. it was quite a good day, rained, but still good. i guess i've been doing alot of maths for the past few days. hah. its like quite refreshing, and quite good too, like, i learnt some of the things that i really didn't know. clarified my doubts and such. haha.
--------------
browsing thru the web, and i saw this article which read, "Letters to God end up in ocean, unread." this is the webpage. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/unanswered_prayers
it kinda makes us wonder, what exactly are the pastors doing. obivously these letters were meant to be read and prayed upon, the letters which contain the desperate cries and pleas for help from the believers, or even the humourous letters of wished to win the lottery by the sarcastic unbeliever tryin his luck to prove that God is there, or could it be a cry frm a person in the most desperate of states.
whatever the origin of the letters, i believe that all of them were meant to be read. and none left out. which brings us back to the question. what exactly was that pastor doing? by not reading the letters, was he doing right? or does he have his own excuses or reasons for not doing so? unfortunately, these questions will remain unanswered as the pastor has already passed on. we just pray for the people who wrote these letters, praying and hoping that God will one day help them, in His own time.
--------------
gah. really don't feel like studying le.. just called up Dajie and had a nice short chat with her. seems that she's also studyin, for her A lvls. haha. God bless her. as for me, i just pray that God grant me that strength to carry on studyin and revising for my Os. tired out and feeling what we maybe call stress. haha. sigh-ning off.
God Bless you. God Bless Me, God Bless all of us! keep it up, persevere. the end's in sight!

i've got an interesting topic to talk about today guys. haha.
my day however, ain't that interesting. its like one whole day of studyin again. haiyo! sian rite? but sian for this week and the next only. gotta perservere! the end's approaching. the reward's in sight! wahaha.. just pray that God's power and presence be there with me during the exams. i need his wisdom. especially during this period of time.
i was spilling out a series of random words again just now, but this time, i felt it made sense. i was saying like,
Everyone is King of something, but there is one King that's King over all these Kings.
it sorta means like, each and everyone of us is master[King] of something or some area of our lives, but there's a King that's master over all of us. and that's God. the King of Kings. haha. meaningful ain't it? or am i just stating the obvious? haha..
-----------------
the other thing i wanted to talk about was this thing that all of us will face along the course of our life, its the thing - or the being - called Death.
this year is the year that i've been to the most funeral wakes ever. i guess its been hard on these people. but there's a question that lies in my heart. nope, it doesn't concern them. the question is..
what is Death to you? is he a fearful creature coming to take your life away? or is he your usher to the gates of Heaven?
for me, i'd see him as my usher. cuz i seriously don't think he's such a bad guy man. haha. right, seriously, if you've been doing good things all your life, lending aid whenever needed, giving a helping hand to whoever's in need, not sinning and cursing and drinking and smoking and fighting and wasting your life away, i don't think that there's a need for one to fear Death. i've got a point right? well.
so, the guy in the torn and tattered cloak wielding a scythe and running around with glowing red eyes ain't that bad after all right?.. haha..
the pic is copyright of the guy who signed it. wish i could do such a nice one. haha
alright, that's all for tonight. i'll leave you with one final question to ponder on.
What's waiting at the world's end?

its been pretty long since i've posted something meaningful or productive. the past few posts have always been about what i'm doing daily or stuff like that. and since i've only been studying and staying at home all day, i'll post about something else today. and boy are you in for a long entry. haha.
-------------------
watched [the Passion of the Christ] just now. nearly broke into tears. could feel them tryin to get out at the back of my eyes, but they just didn't want to. the movie really really really brought me back to understanding and looking at the way Jesus died for us on the cross. the reasons He did so - to pay for our sins and because He loves us. but there were questions burning at the back of my head,
[1] why did He have to do so? who are we that He, the son of the ever-living God, should lay His life down for us when He had the choice not to do so.
[2] what have I really done for Him?
really, i think its an amazing thing to think about. God's love for us let Him send His one and only son to die for us. that's the greatest kind of Love that anyone could find. what else could compare to this love? that a person who did not know us came and die for our wrongdoings, for our mistakes, for our lives. just to protect and save us from the impending doom that awaits all sinners at the end of their lives. I stand in awe of you oh Lord Jesus. Beautiful Savior.
"Lord, I know i'm a sinner. I know I haven't put in my all for you, I know I've gone against your words. I pray for forgiveness to be upon me. I pray for you to guide me on the right path, to keep me away from the wrong things. I pray for you to just touch the hearts of those who do not know you, let them experience your love Lord, so that they will come to you, in awe, in wonder and call you Lord. For you died on the Cross for us, we who knew nothing of your love. Thank you Lord for all you've done. in Jesus name, Amen."
---------------------
i found myself making contact to those people i've 'taught' in Thumbs Up(now Trybe). its really a joy to talk to these people, those of whom you know heart's were touched by the words that you've said to them before. knowing that their lives have pure potential for greatness if used wisely. that's why i love Trybe. cuz that's where i have the ability to touch lives and help mould one stage of that life for greatness. its also a way that I pay back the one who changed my life.
---------------------
had an interesting question just now. haha. what is true love? haha.. a good question indeed. at first, i found myself unable to answer that qns. but after deep thinking. i found that true love, is actually this.
"when a person lays down his life for another, be it friend or family, boy or girl. it is the act of giving your all for a single person to either protect that person from something or the help that person in someway."
well, there's no true meaning of love. its how a person sees it. love is plainly unexplainable. its a feeling, a reaction, a cause, an effect. but the greatest kind of love is when a person lays down his life for a friend. yeah. i guess that's love.
---------------------------
