- I Passed my Audition!!! -


When I 1st attended LightHouse's Miracle Service in March, I went in and felt the Peace. Its something which I have not felt in a long time.

When the worship session starts, the feeling is so good. Everyone was singing and worshipping the Lord and although I don't know the songs, being a person who loves singing, I joined in to sing looking at the lyrics on the screen. LoL...

I noticed other than the Worship Leaders who consist of 2 sisters and 1 brother, there is a group of Choir at the back of the stage backing up the 3 Worship Leaders. Its the 1st time i notice them.

After a few months in Lighthouse, I came to know that different ministries does different things and all the people who serve are called Lighters. As for the choir, they are called Praislighters. Praislighters belong to a ministry called Praislight which provides backup support singing for the English worship services.

From then on, I was thinking whether I should join this ministry cos I love singing. Kai Ma and Kai Yeh both encourage me to give it a try. Last month, there is a calling for recruitment of Praislighters. I decide to give it a try.

To use the gift that God has given me to serve him is the best way to serve!

Sister Girle called me up and ask me to go for Audition, I was told to prepare a song and it will be sang in A Cappella, no music, just pure voice. Preferably christian song. After which, they will check my vocal range. Sad to say, although I love to sing, I don't know my vocal range. LoL... No proper music training before too.

I was struggling as to which song to sing. Ryan suggested that I should sing "Above All" but the lyrics of it is so complicated. Alot of different Above All to memorise. So I was thinking whether to sing "Still/Be Still and Know" or "All the Earth" by Don Moen. These are the 2 songs which I like, then another song came into my mind "I Belong to You" a Lighthouse self composed song by brother Douglas or is it Pastor Pacer. LoL. Decided to sing "Still/ Be Still and Know" and started practicing it.

But few days before the Audition, I decide listen to Ryan's suggestion to sing "Above All"! Got the lyrics and started memorising it!

The day came, 8th August 2009, 5pm at Shalom room. Was there and a sister is already there. There were a total of 5 who came for this audition, I am the only guy there. At 5pm Sister Girle and Nova came and told us that the audition is on a first come first serve basis but the sister who came before me ask me to go 1st, ok then. I will go 1st!

Was in Shalom room and both sisters say, sing when you are ready. Started singing... Was asked to stop before I went into chorus. After that, sister Girle played on the keyboard to check my vocal range.

Was asked to go out of the room to wait while the 2 sisters discuss. After about 30secs, I was asked to go in again. Sister Girle told me some administration requirements that I have to meet before joining, some of which I have not met, but she still passed my Audition! I am in Praislight!!! :D

Praise The Lord!!

- Some thoughts -

I am just wondering, have you guys come across some ppl who is quite 不自动...

To elaborate, when we go out as a group and buy drinks or dessert, this person will ask whoever is going to buy to get something for him/her without fail. But then, this person will only go buy drinks by him/herself withouth asking what others want.

I am really wondering why they have such a thick skin?

I heard from a friend there was once when they say to go dutch, but this person acted blur. OMG, how 不自动 can it get?

I mean, are you really that poor that you need others to pay for you or is it a habit?
But it seems to me that you are not poor at all.. LoL

Just some thoughts, don't take it so seriously... LoL...

As usual, diamond or pearl pendant comes to my mind again. Everytime seeing mum wearing those Pendants we gave her makes me happy.. Walk around and went to Soo Kee and saw those pendants on promotion for mother's day. Saw a few nice ones, but decided to buy tis one for Mummy, Ryan will share wif me, and heard from Ryan that we will b buying a gown for Mama...

Mummy's Pearl Pendant bought from Soo Kee..


Smsed Telur jie and they say they already seated in Benten Cafe, so we went over shortly. Telur & RQ jie both were there. Chatted for awhile while waiting for Wacky and his kor kor....

- Tiring Week -

Its Friesday again!



Been a busy and tiring week. Few things happening since last week.

First, my grandpa was hospitalised as his blood pressure shot up suddenly, to above 200. When me and my dad visited him, the pressure was 222 for the high and 105 for the low. Had a little chat wif him but nothing much to chat about. Long story. Nurse is going to help wash them and change their clothes, so we left.

Two days later, he has been discharged. Doctors have no idea why his pressure shot up so high. They only suspect its the medicine tat might haf caused it and doctor says that he can't get aggitated, angry and can't fall. Did not visit him when he is homeas we did not want Grandma to start digging out problem and make grandpa angry. Welll, get well soon grandpa.


Finally had my gym session on Wednesday. Its a fun session with Kev and Jasper. Surprising I m able to do a 60Kg deadlift 2 reps of 5 and 2 reps of 3. Is it because I got stronger or is it because of the Phisten necklace. LoL...

Meeting Dagen and da rest tonite, Andy says Dagen got something to announce... Expected announcement is he is getting married, lets see if i am correct. LoL...
