Man, PH Getaway was amazing (Can I hear all the PH people give a big “oh yeah!”).
The main highlight for me was seeing the unity and community that arose from the intense presence of God on Saturday night. Powerhouse is comprised of different groups of people: The original PHers, the 2006 Year 12s, Lighthouse and [...]

I think this statement by Lucy effectively states the kind of guy I was before Ablaze, before I really understood what being a Christian was all about.
Trung was very Christianised…until he met Christ.

Wow, it’s been a while since I made a half decent post – should address it right now.
Hmm, what has happened over the past few weeks? Mainly just addressing some hang-ups and issues that at face value don’t seem important. Nevertheless, it’s worth addressing because what ’s the point of me being an awesome care [...]

I’m sure I speak for all of the PHers in wishing you congrats on your baptism yesterday. Congrats to Paul Lim and Menisha on making this commitment to Christ to the world at large. It’s an event worth celebrating and blogging about :p . And of course, an Ablaze event wouldn’t be an Ablaze event [...]

You know in the 2 weeks after ALC, I’m still not 100% sure of what I actually learnt – it seems change everytime I reflect upon it lol.
I guess for me personally, it’s just a reflection of how far I’ve come in the past 2 years. I think Lucy described my life before I came [...]

Last night, I realised something. I fidget…a lot. Whenever I’m talking, laughing or just ’sitting still’ I’m always doing something, always moving. Whether it’s changing my sitting position every 10 seconds or playing with my pen, I never keep still. For the first few shepherding sessions with Nick, I rarely kept eye contact with him.
However, [...]

I swear it must be an Asian thing because the moment I turned 18, there was a sudden upsurge in interest and immense speculation about my love life (or lack thereof). All my parent’s friends give me sly glances and knowing nudges to get a move on. Even Ablaze gets in on the act with Chris [...]

Bus ride home from uni. I was talking to a couple of Hope Brisbane people – Michelle and Rachel
Michelle: So what year are you in?
Me: 1st
Michelle [shocked]: No way
Me [Lolling]: How old did you think I was?
Michelle: I don’t know, maybe 22 or something?

Conversations like that always crack me up. I’m not sure whether it’s my [...]

“I’m going to grandma’s house and I’m bringing a bikini”
Chris Bee
Ask me for more details to this highly amusing quote. Now that my obligatory amusing snippet is done, on to the point of this entry.
Powerhouse 1 had its first life group in…aeons. Chris’s (non stumbling) statement really summed up what really convicted me on [...]
