Sorry for the slow update! Thank God for the CSI event!

Firstly, I would like to praise God in the way He helped me get well so quickly last saturday...I was feeling weak, feverish and had a bad flu...and i had to act in the CSI youth event...amazingly...just half an hour b4 the event...God took all my pain and illness away...it just reminded me how wonderful God is and itz so symbolic of the cross...how Jesus took away the sins of the world..by showing how much He loved us and died on our behalf...I appreciated Jesus so much more after that day...

Really wana thank God also for the newcomers that came for the CSI event and the people behind the whole event...the hardwork really paid off...because i totally believed God was truly glorifed throughout the event...

Six pack? Is it a dream?

For people that has known me my whole life...I have always been fat..other than maybe the time when i was hit by my thyroid where i drastically lost weight to 67kg...

But as of 2008...I want to make a honest effort to lose all those unwanted fat...and be as healthy as I can be...giving my all to God and making youth ministry a wonderful place where God can guide and lay His hands on and bless...

I'm writing this entry as a personal challenge to myself...if you find it irrelevant...the X is at the top right corner of your screen...but if not..just read on...

I'm forcing myself to lose the unwanted amount of fat in on my body...since 30th Dec 2007 till now...I have been exercising everyday(weights training and HIIT) and sticking to a strict diet (no fried food, no fast food, only water, lean meat and more veggies and fruits pls). I have gone from wearing XXL/XL to L and from a 39 inch waist to a 36 inch waist.

But I feel...i want to go one step further...for the next 7 weeks...I wana push as hard as i can to c my abs and even wana to have a six pack ab by my birthday. I am very serious and for those around me...hope you can give me as much encouragement as u can...

I hope i don't sound too self-centred as i'm not..I just wana fulfill this lifelong dream and goal...i'm not getting any younger and i hope the effort i put will go a long way in leading a healthy and fruitful life for God...

Stats as of 25th Feb 2008 (will be updated bi-weekly):

Chest - 44 inches

Waist - 36 inches

Stomach - 39 inches

Hips - 46 inches

Biceps - 14 inches

Yes that's how brutally honest i'm gonna be because I want to motivate and "force myself to drop these numbers"...maybe other than the biceps one...

F A M I L Y

Believe it or not...yesterday was the 1st time I watched I not stupid 2...wow that show really shows the heartache of singaporean youths and parents alike...the pursuit of education...the pursuit of monetary excellence...trying to make a better life for the family...love and care among true blue friends...owning up to your mistakes...parents taking time to understand their children...

Honestly....I teared quite abit...because the show made me understand how blessed God has allowed me to be...my family, my friends, my life...even though I have done so much wrong....God still forgives me and allows me to go forward with Him...

As for my family and friends, they have always been by my side through the hard times...and definitely we share the good times...therefore I say to all...appreciate your friends and family...because they DO care about you and want the best for you...

I cried when the little brother said: FAMILY, you know the meaning? It means FATHER AND MOTHER I LOVE YOU.

Such a simple sentence, yet so profound. Now I would like to emphasise, is V day so impt? To those who are looking forward to that day, Feb 14th happens to Friendship Day also. Remember your priorities and not focus all ur time on who you like...but the people around you who have been with you through thick and thin.....

I Kiss Dating Goodbye

To everyone that reads my blog, I highly recommend the book " I kiss dating goodbye". It would totally revolutionise your thinking about finding a life partner and points you to the correct direction which is to totally rely on God when it comes to the heart matters. Unlike what the Title suggests, the book is about how we should approach our feelings and actually dating can be wrong without commitment. This is because if you are truly ready to commit, you must be also ready to accept that as your life partner, meaning you must expect to marry the person. And being rooted in the Lord Jesus is also very very important. I can't emphasise this point more than enough. I have seen many relationships broken up because of differing faiths or religion. If it is rooted in Christ and the focus is about God, the relationship will prosper with the help of God. Remember guys and gals, love is about giving and never expecting anything in return. So if you really think you like/love someone, you would be willing to give anything for that person to be stronger in God..not like you more and try imagining the person 30 years older..will you still like the person then without the looks? If you can truly answer this questions..maybe you are ready to let God show you the person He has promised...

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy NEW year

Thank the Lord Jesus for blessing the youths with so much fun and laughter during the festive season and blessing us with such good weather for the Christmas be here event and the Prepare the way youth camp. We shared really good fellowship and made many new friends. Thank you Lord for guiding us through the short deadlines and the difficult times in 2007 and we look forward to 2008 with total faith and hope in you Lord Jesus. These are my thoughts for the year 2007. Who would have expected? The crazy guy from Fairfield sec, JJC and NTU would end up being the youth worker of Queenstown Lutheran Church. But this is a miracle I tell u. God really works in wonderous ways and it just shows here. After my graduation, I had problem finding jobs I liked. I got the job but I felt that I would not have liked it there. And so on and so forth. God was telling in my heart to come to Him non-stop...It was so clear in my head I could not deny it..Then my mum one day suggested why don't I be the permenant youth worker since I enjoy the youth ministry so much. Then it clicked in my head. That was the start of the most important and rewarding decision of my life. I really would like to thank all the youths for their love and support for me even though I have done nothing much and is not worthy. I hope we can together bring up the youth ministry to greater heights with total reliance on the Lord God Almighty. God is sovereign, always remember that. I would like to thank my family for their overwhelming support...and for all their years of love and care..for those that know my parents..you should know how joker my dad is and how loving my mum can be...so I guess I take abit from both and its sort of a great compliment to them..One of my mum's dreams is to have one of her sons serving full-time..How wonderful God provides and fulfills dreams... I would like to thank all my friends for making me the person I am today. It is because in the midst of troubles and fun, friends are the ones that dedicate their time and effort to make you feel better or just to make your day. To all Josiah Yeo's friends, I raise my hat and salute you for taking all the rubbish and the jokes that I have bombarded your lives with. I love you all and we will definitely stay friends for life. Last of all, I would like to thank all the people that have hurt me in my lifetime. These people have moulded my heart and thoughts. But it is for a good thing because I am more forgiving and loving as ever. Because I do not ever want to have anyone else feel the same as what I did before. For those nice guys who continue to treat girls nice even though they have been hurt by heartless girls before, I salute you and I take my hat of to you. The world needs your care and concern. For the girls that have been hurt by guys before and still give the guys chances for your love, I salute you too as it is harder for a girl to recover from a relationship then a guy. I just want to pray that the nice guys in this world get to meet the mature and nice girls of this world so that they will appreciate them better. Joke of the day: When can a desktop become a laptop? Answer: When you put your leg at the bottom of the desk. Then your desktop will be on top of your lap. Then laptop liao! hahah sorry most lame joke ever.

Youth leaders retreat, X'mas youth event and Youth camp

What seems to be the most celebrated holiday in the world is also the most busy time of the year for me...And worse of all...movies like Golden Compass which is completely anti-Christ is not helping either...therefore please do not watch the movie and support the writer who wants to "destroy God in hearts of children". Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ 2007 years ago and that's that...

It's about the birth of the Saviour who eventually took away our sins by dying on the cross...It's not about gifts, its definitely not abt santa or reindeer or watsoever...itz abt God fulfilling His promise about sending the Messiah (Jesus Christ) to save us from the penalty of sins, which is death...He took upon himself...Therefore, Christmas is about God's love for us...always remember that..

Now back to the youth leaders retreat...I thank God for the few that has stepped up to the plate and willing to serve as youth leaders in 2008 for the youth ministry...God really blessed a vast array of talents which I pray would strengthen our youth and help us grow..Of coz by God's grace...We are now all currently trying to rush and settle our x'mas event on the 22th of Dec at 2.30pm and itz called Christ-mas be here! Please come...you are duly welcomed

If i dun reply emails or SMSs..that's becoz I'm really busy wiv my youth camp and youth x'mas event...

Bible Trail 2007 at St Andrew's Cathedral

The past 2 days have been great as I have been learning God's Word non-stop..Isn't that great? Isn't that what everyone shld be dreaming of doin? It has been really fun-filled and packed wiv activities which just shows how beautiful and great is our God..He speaks to us in many ways..all we need to do is read the Bible and pray..isn't dat wonderful?

I really wana thank Jesus for dying on the cross and giving us the opportunity to live and not have to die for our sins..as the penalty of sins is actually death...but God showed us love and gave us the promise of salvation..who can ask for more?

Therefore, give ur life to Jesus today..and you will see the biggest thing happening to u ever..
