Taught a lesson on Faith and washing of feet.
Found some guides online and put together those lessons to form 1 topic.
We are currently on a topical devotional material so it can be very abstract and hard to grasp at their level. I have tried my best to create an inclusive lesson for the Sec 1-3's to grasp.
It is quite tough because you have to stimulate their minds on all levels. Therefore, it usually takes about 45 to an hour for me to cover the topic. It is very challenging.

But I find it very fulfilling and addictive to prepare for such lessons. Cus it strengthens what I know and I have been running on a low tank of faith for very long. So it encourages me to read the bible and grow in areas that I have been stagnated.

Currently I'm trying think of a topic to touch on so that it will link back to the previous topics. This will help me them to conceptually grasp what I am talking about and also help them to build on their bible knowledge.

A lot of them have a good foundation from their church and Sunday School and what I feel I should do is to reinforce such teachings. I still can't see myself as a teacher. I am basically conveying and rearranging lessons that have been taught before to present it and share it. That's all.

2 topics come to mind.
1) Faith, Hope and Love. The 3 greatest fruits. We can take a look at hope. Cus it comes after faith.
or
2) Faith lesson 2. We can go in deeper and learn more about faith. And establish the faith of our forefathers, parents and even the apostles.

I prefer the 2nd option because it is very hard to believe in something that I cannot see and hear from everyday. The bible needs to be alive for them. What is one thing that will help me keep my faith intact? Something that can be a constant in my life, the moment I look at it, I remember God's help in my times of need.

Should I go deeper into apologetics? So that when they are shaken they can use this to stump the world that tries to shake their belief or should I enter into personal experience which will be quite subjective and not everyone will be able to understand? So what direction should I take?

This is yet to be revealed but I think after typing this out I am more certain about the direction. I don't want to waste their time. I want to take home something. I want them to be able to talk about it with their parents and ask their parents for a story that they can call their own family's faith journey.

We can use borrowed faith for now because we are still young and most of us don't have the experience with God yet. That said, age is not a factor for faith. But if we do not have or own a life changing experience yet, we can ask our parents for a personal story.

"What made them believe in God?"
"What is one experience that they will always use when they want to come back to God?"

This will help them create valuable dinner table conversations rather than the usual result oriented talks and the surface how is life in school talk. And when there is nothing to say they revert to their default and use their phones instead.

Okay, that's all I have for now. But I hope I am useful. I doubt myself alot haha. Need alot of reassurance from my friends... But....nvm... haha.

Recently, I've been really crazy busy.
I'll be flying off to Hong Kong in a couple of days.
I honestly don't know what I am supposed to do as a bestman.

Organise a STAG party?
Say a few words?

We don't have a car in Hong Kong so we might have to take the public transport for the stag party which is quite lame....

Anyway, I know what to say for my speech, I just don't know when to say.
It's pretty strange, cus I have not been hanging out with them.

But exams are coming and its straight after I come back from Hong Kong.
My brains can no longer take this kind of shocks anymore. HAAAALP.

First it was YAM and I had to take a ferry back halfway just to take my papers.
and now THIS.
I think I just like the feeling of a busy life....Zzzzz
Flying back on the 11th, 12-14 are my exam dates. Woohoooo. Onward!

Anyway, I was quite upset that I was not invited to my friend's wedding, both of whom are my friends. I knew the girl since sec 1 and we kinds grew up together till like she was JC2. We went on mission trips to Chiang Mai every year. Quite sad. I knew the guy since sec 3 when he joined our cell.

Yeah we kinda drifted and stopped talking to each other, but she used to ask about me when I was in church and we used to catch up. But she stopped when she got together with this guy... haha strange but nvm lah. People change ? Or maybe they are just too tired to interact anymore.

Saded. BUT I'm super happy for them ! They finally got married ! And they are gonna have beautiful kids hahaha ! So a hidden congrats to them !

I don't know who still read this but I saw my childhood (sec 3) sweetheart counted right? Anyway, things are weird haha, like we still can't talk normally. Why. And it's weird. But I'll try to normalise things when I get the chance to. Anyway, really happy that she found someone who is pretty stable in terms of emotions and doing life in general. I hope it works out for them. They seem genuinely happy together. And this guy is quite meticulous and romantic lah, so dreamy haha...

I can't believe that I still have the time to blog. 3 theory papers coming up. I hope to score at least distinctions. I got super distracted this sem and I only hope that whatever revision I do now will be retained in my brains.

To the people who know me, I have a bad memory.

Updates on Bubble Soccer Singapore. Quite upset with Singapore law. My direct competitors bought similar domains and confused the market with it. Honestly I'm super pissed. What can I do ?
SGNIC replied to say that I must pay about 2.9k to LODGE a dispute. WHAT?!?

So can I recover this cost when it is ruled that they are in the wrong ?
But I must upfront this fee first....
And they paid for SEO lol. We paid for an inhouse SEO which does not cost a bomb obviously.

Just got asked by a friend to join his accounting firm to be a paperwork warrior....
And potentially a partner in future.
Question is, Big Four or this?
Flexibility vs Overtime.

But one have to work like a dog no matter what.
If I work for my friend I will be able to continue with my business and do accounting at the same time.

If I don't...Zzzz.... But I get to climb the ladder and have a fixed path for life already...
But with no work life balance for the first 10 years. Dilemma.

Okay gotta go!

ciao.

Just one short publicity stunt.

This is pretty much what I do for the business. I conduct teambuilding activities and make sure that my customers have loads of fun bumping and rolling around.
It is super safe. You don't have to worry about a soccer ball flying to your nuts or face (if you don't have nuts).

Anyway, thanks for all the support you guys have been showing.
