Birthdaysssssss

Just had a two birthday celebrations for people yesterday.

One's for Siewluan (Luannie). Went to K-Box at Marina Square with her. We tried to have creative affirmations by dedicating specific songs to her. Apparently this intention failed when we have people like Yihui who sang M2M's "Don't say you love me"... The team and I bought a necklace and a bouquet of flowers for her... Hope she'll really like it. (Actually even if she don't like it she must still wear it! *Evil laughter from Gideon)

Want take this time to affirm Siewluan for her consistency in her walk with God and her dedication to her people. One very obvious strength of her is her character of stability; her ability to face trying situations with great calmness and objectivity. Way to go sister! Really seen how you've grown since you joined Y-Hope when you were Sec 1/2??? Believe that God will bring you to a much further height!

Last evening was also a time where I celebrated Shirls' birthday with the rest of the RDMM team plus special appearance of Tamar. Really had a great time of eating at the Teochew Porridge Buffet ($4). Yes, Dennis was as irritating to me as ever before! Shuzhen was no kind character too, kept disturbing Sharlene! Now I see Shuz' true colour... Hehe... Daniel was busy trying to poison everyone else's dessert by putting in cockles, veggie and peanuts mixed in our dessert bowl while we are away. How malicious!!!! Shirley, she remained as the kind (only) soul smiling helplessly at the 'rubbishity' of our behaviour. Hai!~ Guess this is what exactly that make this team unique. But I must say that though sometimes... actually many times where some people in this team are really irritating(especially Mr Loh), I really do enjoy and appreciate this team alot!

Shirley has indeed been a strong and annointed leader. Her strengths are clearly seen through her leadership over the church, especially in the aspect of team-building. Agreed with what Eelee said, Shirley do really give each of us space to be ourselves and trust to allow us to reach our potential. She is gentle and humble, and remained extremely approachable despite of her busy lifestyle. Her constant passion and thirst for Jesus is amazing and her depth of knowledge and spiritual wisdom is incredible. Thanks for sharing with us your dreams and vision and be rest assured that we will follow and support you all the way. Reaching for 1000 and beyond- Building a global youth ministry!
