Festival of Praise 2007

WOO! Festival of Praise 2007 is around the corner! Any go-ers? =)

Time to scoot off to a new start!

*Ding Ding* i'm now currently so bored in my office im falling asleep after SORTING PAPERS. Seriously man, i didnt agree to come here to work to sort papers and do "chapalang" stuff. I'm most likely resigning from this job at the end of the month.

"So what will you do next, Ken?" You might ask. Well, i do have a few choices before i go and get my buzzcut for National Service. Am seriously thinking of dedicating wholly to balloons and such for the next few months actually. Got a few events coming up in August and September. Hoping to secure my busker's license in August. Gonna pick up unicycling and face painting too! And then, HOPEFULLY, i'll be able to survive for the next few mths till i end up in NS. Haha. OR, i'll jus find another company which will contract me for 3mths i guess.

A few things i hope you guys can help me with!

1) I'm in need of webspace! Anyone know of any cheap hosting sites or people who could offer me some space? I do not need much webspace, as i jus need a site to show abit of my works, rates, and maybe accomodate a few forms.

2) Anyone know's of any good tailor or whose mom could sew and tailor stuff such as costumes? i need to customise some of my outfits, such as adding multiple pockets/inserts for my balloons, hidden pockets, a carrying case for my giant pump, etc etc. If you know of anyone who has a flair for such "seam-ste-ry", pls tell me!

If any of you has such contacts or "kangtao", pls tag me or call me or sms me or msn me or jus ask me out for a meal.

Thanks a mil!

Ken

Random Pics from the Past..

Was looking through my old archives of pictures. Chanced upon these few pics. Nostalgic!


Remember the floods? Its cool to see Singapore flooded. I want another one!


Ophir training pics! I know i look gay with Kuen.. Miss those times. I was at my fittest then!

I Love a Good Challenge, But??

Woo! Finally a day which i do not need to force myself to wake up, and dragging my feet to office. Took a day of leave to get some resting and enjoyment. Mom was saying why she's working everyday and she never even say want to take rest, then im saying it. Truth is, she's is in a situation where everyday is different as she interacts with her kids wad, for me, everyday is in office doing the same thing. Its more mental than physical. That's what i told her. haha. Excuses i know. =p

Something interesting happened yesterday. I was actually asked whether i would like to take part in what i could say is Singapore's biggest balloon event's competition. If im not wrong, competition includes Costume making with balloons, entertainment on stage etc. i was like "Whoa! i dun know whether im good enough." Told David, boss of Balloon Baron that i'd need a few days to think about it. Told Mom about it, and she was pretty encouraging, asking me to go for it and such. hmm, Time to multiply the "talents" i was given?

Tongue of Fires.

Its been a while since i really blogged. A more or less deep post coming up!

I cant believe its already the month of July of Year 2007. It felt as though i have "time-leapt" into the future. Everything of 2nd half of 2006 to 2007 currently literally whizzed past so fast that i myself and am unsure of what i had done, have done. Thinking back, so many things just happened in this two years. It seemed so long ago, but it was only last year that i got my O level results, only last year that i went to NP etc. etc.. What was only a year ago felt like 3 years.

My simple prayer for Michelle(my girlfriend lah) today was that she'll be a light to anyone wherever she is, and that God would use her mightily to do his work. Now i question myself. Am i living my life to the fullest, for myself, and for others? Am i being a beacon of light? Am i letting my talents and potential go to waste? I cant help but meditate, or rather ponder on the Parable of the Ten Talents. Am i going to double the "talents" that i am given, no matter how much, or am i just going to dig a hole in the ground and bury it, and when judgment day comes, i just return that same amount to God without any gain? Only thing Ps Leon Steward said on Youth Sunday that stayed with me was about his friend who looked like Mr Bean, with his trousers belted up to his chest. Certainly not the best looking of the worst too. Yet, YET, God uses him MIGHTILY as he spoke fire and brimstone into lives and spirits of people. Do i want that power? Do i want that authority over the principalities and powers? I yearn for the day where its like the day of Pentecost where the Holy Spirit decends on the people like tongues of fire, and everybody started speaking in tongues, praising, worshipping, being EMPOWERED! Yes, empowered.. Jus like the song goes,

Empower me
Like a rushing river flowing to the sea
Lord, send Your Holy Spirit
Flowing out through me
Till i'm living as Your child
VICTORIOUS and FREE
Send the power of Your love
Empower me.

Now the thing is how much are we willing to press in, willing to press in to see the will of God done, the willingness to see the miracles happen, the blind to see, the lame to walk, the healing to take place in this world, in your country, in your neighbourhood, and even in yourself. How much are we WILLING to PRESS IN to see the promises of the bible carried out. Just like the woman who was bleeding for 12years found in Mark 5:25 - 34. Which comes another song,

Like the woman with the issue of blood
We press in, we press in
Like the blind man waiting patiently
We press in through the crowd

Then suddenly
A touch from heaven
Jesus came and rescued me
Then suddenly
A touch from heaven
Jesus came and set me free

So am i just gonna sit here and see time fly by?? Or will i rise up to the occasion?? What will i do with my talents?? Do i wanna press in??
