Twitter like ABC!

2010-07-14T10:24:00.011+08:00

Hey guys, I've promised to teach those who wanna go on Twitter. Have not had "physical time" with y'all so here's some virtual help instead!

Firstly let me share with you what Twitter's all about. It's simply a very shortened version of Facebook or any other online social network, except that Twitter enables you to only see one-liners or a really short phrase/status of what your friend(s) update, what we call 'tweet.'

So yes, there're no games, photo galleries or lengthy profiles in Twitter.

Everything is easy, fuss-free and simple to use. And that's what I like because I can get to know the thoughts of all my Twitter friends real-time, which makes it totally convenient!

You're not far from being from Twitter, here's what you need:

1. Go to http://twitter.com/ and sign up.

2. After successfully creating your account, tadaaaa.... You now have a Twitter account.

3. 'Follow' your friends or even renowned personality like your favourite local/Hollywood celebrities, to even our very own CHC pastors! Click on 'following' and search for people you want to 'follow,' in order to see updates when they Tweet. It can be done via email address, or name.

Some people you (might) know, simply go to their profile and click 'follow':

Jiahui (Pst Ed's wife)

Interesting ones to follow:

Profile:

4. See your 'following's tweets when you click 'Home,' the entire list will appear

5. Instances where others reply to your tweet publicly are called 'Mentions' and they can be seen when you click on @BerniceKoo below home, for example. The entire list of replies will be generated as such:

That's it, as easy as ABC yea!

Hope to see you 'following' us on Twitter soon :)

This weekend (31 Jul - 2 Aug) is our annual Festival of Praise, what we always call FOP!

On each of these 3 nights, awaiting you are vibrant praise & worship, impactful preaching of God's Word, thick presence of God...and of course an awesome time in which more than 100 churches of Singapore come together, into the house of God!

What's more? Sunday morning is not a time to rest at home just because we're having FOP. After 4 years of 'hiatus,' City Harvest Church is once again celebrating our 20th anniversary!

Believe many of us have not been part of the COOLEST celebration ever....where we go all the way back to the days when our pockets were empty but hearts full, yet being so on fire for Jesus....all the way till this day. PTL!

So peeeeple, let's gear up for these 3 days of 'toppest' excitement and godly thrill!

anyway i was chatting on sms with bernice, then i forgot how, but i decided to update those old videos of me playing some piano songs, so i wondered when could be the best time to take a video of myself playing the piano just like before. the answer was, tonight.

here are the existing videos, i put them one after another, the one in front is the older one. obviously, the newer videos have way better video and sound quality. WAY WAY better. the difference is between a 2 megapixel camera phone to a 8.1 megapixel camera phone.

First one, Suna no Koe...

old version:

new version:

Second, Kimi to Boku

old version:

new version:

Third, Pachabel Canon in C

old version:

new version:

Fourth, Shikai no Kodoku

new version:

Fifth, this is the new song, i failed the recording 5times okay!! sickening one. the rest was just one shot.

18January 2009, Sunday Service Notes

2009-01-19T22:35:00.004+08:00

yesterday, Pastor Tan Ye Peng talked about PRAYER. everyone is talking about the importance of prayer and i feel its the best language i ever learnt. woa he has so many points to take down till i could barely rest while taking down all the notes!!

the main points of the surmon...
he emphasized that prayer is just like food to our human body, its food to our spiritual being... Pastor Tan also spent quite a fair bit on the fusion of 2 realms. us, humans.

everything you do in the natural world have spiritual consequences.

God is everywhere, he is omnipresent.

1 Corinthians 10:31
...WHATEVER YOU DO, do all to the glory of God

we should live our life in a way we know

Our life is preparation for eternity.
God has put eternity in us.

Love is not love till it is expressed aww man i so love this phrase. sounds so poetic! hehe

God created man on the sixth day after he created everything.

whatever we see God is doing, we should follow him.
we need to get into partnership with him through faith.
you cannot earn your salvation as jesus is the only sacrificial lamb.

its all about surrendering and trusting in God

HOW SHOULD WE PRAY?
1. Be open to hear God in your prayers

2. Be specific in your prayers

3. Be persistent in your prayers.

PRAYER IS THE KEY TO EVERYTHING
Luke 11:9-13

*the full notes are at the bottom of the post. pardon my untidy handwriting, was using a wrong pen. X.x

after thinking back, i feel that prayer has helped me to bridge up the gap between me and God, its a matter of how often and how strongly we pray together, be it pray with teachers, pray with friends... i remeber i used to pray in school every friday after school with my good friends, but i have not been doing so after leaving the school... but at least i get to go to cell group despite my tight schedule!

last time it was so little obligations, too much time so i got bored. now, the tables have turned. i have too much obligations and too little time! after sitting down and thinking deeper, everyone has the same amount of time, everyone goes through the same phases of life, the world is fair in some aspects. its more of how we manage our time. i feel that we need to learn to prioritise, but the big stones in the pail first before filling it up with sand. this way, we get to achieve more and make more sense of our valuable lives as well as our priceless friendships we have.

its more of whether we appreciate what we have more than to envy others.

Do not compare yourself with others for that causes you to feel as though God had not rewarded you fully...but actually he has, for he loves us all equally.

2009-01-15T21:28:00.004+08:00

last sunday, which was a whopping few days back, uh Rev. John Bevere gave a surmon on HONOUR'S REWARD.

the reason why i am posting this super late, when usually i do it on the following day right after service is because of my schedule. super packed up plus i need to decide on my tertiary education. its really stressful even though i didnt score that badly in my O levels....
managed to score 11 points for L1R4, A2 for english meant that i had quite a good chance to go into a normal poly, not all those outstanding ones or whatsoever.

i would also like to praise God as he blessed us with our grades and that i always keep in mind that he has greater things in us, so i have to rely on him during this gruelling period as he chooses my next education. seriously i do not want to go JC.... i wanna go poly..... dont ask me why privately. ask only when we are with a group of friends... main purporse is that i am too itred of repeating and explaining.

ok time to get back down to earth and here are the main points of last sunday's surmon.
there is quite a big load of main points...even though they are main points....

the main verse was Mark6:5
the bible said "HE COULD DO NO mighty work there...."
Jesus was restrained. Why?
Mark6:3-4 said that He needed honour.

Most of the time God gives the stuff we want in a package that we do not expect.

Honour means 'a valueing'
Dishonour means 'to treat as common'

All true honour originates from the heart

There are three categories of people whom we should look up to.
1. Those above us. eg: the prophet
2. our peers. eg: colleagues
3. those under us. eg: those who are entrusted under our care

we need to honour all.

Four areas of delegated people
1. Civil
2. Family
3. Social
4. Church
5. Our peers (seriously i dont know why there is a fifth one when there should be only four?)

end of the day message?
WE NEED TO HONOUR OTHERS!!

below is the surmon notes that i copied down! refer it for more in dept information.
ps reminder again, just in case you didnt see chris' post. there IS CELL GROUP THIS SATURDAY AT NICOLE'S HOUSE, 1.30PM be there early!

† ming yang †

oh yeah one thing i noticed is that the pictures of the notes are really small, so if you want to see the notes, you can use firefox web brower instead of the Internet Explorer, then download the add-on that allows you to expand pics to like over 200-600%. that will make reading the notes more convenient.

ok in case you cant read or just pure lazy to change the browser and go through all the stuffs, here is the main frame of yesterday's message by Senior Pastor Kong Hee.

The Strength in City Harvest Lies in....
1. Education
2. Creativity
3. Character

and we had this yellow year planner that informed us about whats coming up in year 2009.

5 Goals in Every Christain Life
1. Prayer
2. Ministry
3. Evangelism
4. Fellowship
5. Discipleship

A cell group allows these five goals to be achieved consistently.

Relationships determines your...

1. Happiness
2. Success
3. Character

Pastor Kong also stated that he is going to share more of the couples and relationships stuff for the upcoming months and weekend services.

please be informed there will be NO CELL GROUP AGAIN for the upcoming Saturday, so see you guys in church on Sunday!

† ming yang †

2009-01-02T18:21:00.005+08:00

PS updated songs list to practically all live songs sung by chc band and added vids, same thing.
please note that there is NO CELL GROUP tommorow.

*WAAAAA!!!!

:-(

see ya in church! :D

28 Decmber 2008, Sunday Service Notes

2008-12-28T23:01:00.006+08:00

oh yeah nearly forgot, just before i start on today's sermon that was preached by Pastor Kong, if you want to find out what i did for my 21 day trip to japan, do check out my blog! i am currently on the second day....

Today, Pastor Kong shared with us the last message of the year 2008 and it was about forgiveness!!

well the main points are:

1. Don't look back at the OLD SINS
2. Don't look back at the OLD DEFEATS
3. Don't look back at the OLD CONFLICTS
4. Don't look back at the OLD VICTORIES

well another learning point that we should learn is in order to forgive, we need to forget! God forgets after he forgives us!

What we should do to our conflicts.....
DON'T nurse it
DON'T curse it
DON'T rehearse it
RELEASE IT.....and God will disperse it.

Here are the sermon notes that i wrote during service....

well this message definitely helped me! that is because i seldom forgive, just my nature, as in i do not easily forgive, but the ironic thing is that i forget super fast and easily! PS thats the reason why i always fail my Social Studies tests. even when pastor Kong passed to us the A4 sheet of paper, i could barely think of anything on the spot as i needed to ponder over my past!

i do find it strange that i remember pictures super well while i can never remember words! i can instantly remember the routes of places, pictures and happy and sad memories with just one glance. this always causes me to bottle up my hurt feelings within me. even up till now, i still can remember lots of my pasts in times when i got hurt by close friends. the good thing is that i am trying to release them, little bit by little bit as i carry on my busy life...

i know this is rather outdated, rather it is just outdated! anyway, here is the christmas carol for those stuck in the financial crisis! :D oh yeah added a playlist that consists of Hillsong songs

Christmas Carol (Financial Version)

(to the tune of "Santa Clause is Coming To Town")

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town.

It's hitting you once,
It's hitting you twice
It doesn't care if you've been careful and wise Recession is coming to town

It's worthless if you've got shares
It's worthless if you've got bonds
It's safe when you've got cash in hand
So keep cash for goodness sake, HEY

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town!

Finance products are confusing
Finance products are so vague
The banks make you bear the cost of risk So keep out for goodness sake,

OH

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town.

Hey all, christmas is just around the corner.
Like what Pastor always said, let's really go
all out and start inviting our friends and let
them enjoy the season of GIVING and LOVE
with us.

I am sure all of us might be wondering how we
can make a difference in our friend's lives. Let
me just share with you my testimony on the
little thing i did that made a difference in my
friend's life.

It all started out on august last year while
preparing for my very good friend that i
know since Pri 2. Both of ur went into the
same Secondary Sch together, because of the
influence by some of my schmates i began to
slowly back slide frm God thinking that my CGL
will forget abt me.

Both of my friends started to get depressed during
their sec sch years because they had to face lots
bullies frm sch and also constant stress frm their
studies. That was when i started thinking abt
what Pastor had teached in church and started
applying it. I started helping my friends by keeping
them staying in postivity. When exams were around
the corner, I helped them revise the subjects that they
were weak in and also be willing to hear what were
their needs in their lives. And she scored very well for
her results.

While preparing the birthday party with my
friends, suddenly asked me why i wasn't going to
church and i suddenly ponder this question and
something struck me in the spirit to ask my friends
and invite them to church. And i decided to did so
and invited them and they agreed.

During the altar call, both of them responded, I
was reminded of the 1st Love that God had for me.
Till now eventhough only 1 of them stayed until now,
but I will never give up on my the other friend for I
know and believe that she will come to Christ.

Therefore, I really thank God for reminding me of
the great Love that he hav for all of us. So let's
really start to mak a difference in all our friend's life.

In Gal 6: 9
"And let us not grow weary while doing good for in due season,
we will reap if we do not lose heart."

Hey all sorry for the very late updates on asia conference. Let me just share with you the Electives that i went.

Dynamics of a Contemporary Worship Band session by Pastor Sidney and David Yen

1. The important point is that we are building PEOPLE and not music.

We need to ENGAGE people more than music.

Like how it was written in the bibble "They will know us by how we love one another."

Looking at each other at different perpective and finding agreement on, "Why we do what we do?"

Also knowing that WORSHIP IS FOR US TO BE INFRONT OF GOD, NOT TO LOOK GOOD INFRONT OF PEOPLE!

2. VISION: Some one always has to lead.

As a bad we need to know where we are going.

Also knowing that the REAL worship leader is the holy spirit.

We need to know how to interact with the holy spirit.

We need to know how the presence of God and atmsophere of God.

Also as a band leader knowing that "..Leadership is all about INFLUENCE..."

3. RELATIONSHIP: The journey is about BUILDING people and not product.

We must build LOVE, TRUST AND FRIENDSHIP with one another.

It is also about the ATTITUDE serve each other.

Therefore, hanging out with each other and knowing each other more cab help ur build relationship.

4. FREEDOM: Expressing Musicality - The freedom to express music.

Flow with one another, knowing how to accomdate.

Worship with humbliness and not the skills that matters, also understand that its all about God.

Song Writting session by Pastor Jeff and KC Gan

Making music and Know that SPEAKS to human hearts.

Be BOLD, CREATIVE AND BE SERIOUS!

More to be coming.
