Christopher

Being stress up by friends around me for the past two weeks, I came to realise a change in them. During the planning, it was rather difficult to communicate with them. At the first few meetings, they kept complaining of the new leadership in the CCA and in the school. I really do not see the point of them complaining during the meeting and appeared so devoted to the CCA during normal parade. It was really true not to judge a book by its cover. Now that the planning had come to an end, upon hearing that only 4 out of 8 cadets of platoon 18 can stay through out the camp, everyone was ‘fighting’ to stay by explanning their importance. I find it funny that when I spoke to them one by one, they told me how much they did not want to stay overnight for the camp. GOD told us not to judge others or you will be judge. I just wrote down my thoughts so as not to be frustrated by their ways of doing things. Tomorrow will be the start of the camp. Do pray for the platoon 21 boys, Winson, Allan, Jia Wei, Quan Huo, Jin Jie, Si Hao, Theng Ong, Kee Tee, Wei Kian, Wee Jian and Jun Hui for wisdom and strength to handle the camp with a right attitude and mindset.

It had been quite some time since I last updated my blog due to my exams. Yesterday after school, there was a RTC ‘meeting’. I was asked to submit a lesson report which I was not inform to prepare. The committee asked me to inform others of the preparation of the camp while nobody told me what I was suppose to do. I was so lost and depressed. I am afraid of being persecuted and not being trusted in my words and things I do. When I got home, I came upon a message from my officer, the promise of the KINGDOM of HEAVEN for those that are persecuted. However, more challenges came to me. During the Speech Day rehearsal, I faced challenges of friends not having faith and trust in my words and actions. I told them of the problems of the contingent but no one seems to care about it. I was even rebuked by the higher ranking for giving too many feedbacks on the contingent. After thinking about it, I really talked too much. Therefore, for the remaining of the rehearsal, I kept my best of keeping quiet so as to prevent further quarrel within the contingent. GOD told us that the best way to handle temptation such as a quarrel is to flee from it. I just want to pray that I can learn to keep my comments to myself for the ‘benefit’ to others.

It had been quite some time since I update my blog. For these few months, I had been facing many problems, challenges and trials but I can say, GOD has brought my through all these and bring me to another heights of my life. Just like the verse from James 1:2-4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds. Because you know that the testing of the faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything… Indeed, no one can defeat you if you yourself has given up hopes in yourself. So dear friends, brothers and sisters in CHRIST, keep the HOLY SPIRIT alive in you and HE will carry you through every phase of your life. Wish to all a Merry Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. GOD bless all of you.

This is the second week of the End-Of-Year Examination.Today had been quite a day. First thing in the morning, I forgot to bring my calculator and I had to run home to get it. When I was doing the combined science papers, I was drenched in my own sweat, causing discomfort to me and I could not concentrate on the exam. I have learn that no matter how prepared we are for anything, we can never predict what will happen next. All we can do is to have complete faith in GOD for HE had everything plan out for us even before we are born into this world.

Many fellows brothers and sisters in CHRSIT often asked me this,’Will you be jealous or envy when fellows brothers of my same age are able to has roles to play a part in while I do not.’ Well, my answer will be a firm no. If they are able to get the positions or roles which I could not get, the must have some qualities which I do not have or I have yet to reach their level or stage yet. Even if so, I believe that GOD will have other plans for me. For example, I could not be the assistant group leader of the Youth Camp, but GOD had given me the role of a guitarist during the Youth Camp which to me after some thoughts, GOD has been very good to me and I know that GOD has HIS plan in my life and that it will be perfect. Life will have its ups and downs but fellows brothers and sisters in CHRIST, do not blame GOD for things which you do not wish to happen in life and yet it happen, but praise and thank GOD that He has given you that experience in life as HE had given to me.

Happy Teachers’ Day to all teachers, mentors, officers. Thank GOD that HE had send all of you to help to grow through everyday of my life. Something happen and it had proven to me that GOD is the almighty ONE. This incident happen when I was doing my councillor duty at the main gate. Mr Raj wanted most of the student leaders to help out for the exercise, hence there was only five councillors left doing their duties. As I thought to myself that five is enough to do a job well done, I was totally wrong. The five of us were Anthony, Nizam, Alfian, me and one more malay guy. The late-comers start to flow in and only Anthony and I were doing our duties while the others sit on the cement floor just before the word ‘WELCOME’. At that time, I told myself that maybe they need to be reminded that they are suppose to do duty so I went to tell them. However, only Nizam starts to do duties but he only brings late-comers who he knew to the back of the parade square. To make things worst, when he was bringing his friends to the back, he walked back to the main gate when he walked only a few steps, giving opportunities for them to get back to their classes without being prosecuted. I was not only unhappy but also feel disgraceful being a councillor. Anthony saw all these that were happening and went to tell Justin (Chairman of the Councillor Board) but I do not think anything was done to improve the situation. The climax of this whole incident was when it was almost 0800. As I was walking back to the main gate after sending a group of late-comers to the back, I saw a group of late-comers of about 20 of them escaping to the canteen. But when I managed to catch a few of them, the rest had already run away. I went to ask the councillors who like to sit outside the music room why they did not stop the late-comers, they told me that they knew someone like me will go and catch them so they need not do it. Angrily, I storm my way back to class therefore start off my day bad. From this, I knew that the way I do things are very different from GOD. When JESUS faced such situation, HE will faced it with a peaceful heart and would bring the councillors back onto the correct way. My name, Christopher means Follower of CHRIST is a very meaningful name. It seems that I will work very hard to achieve a small portion of CHRIST’s characteristics because only HE is the perfect and almighty GOD.

For these few days, I have been deciding on whether to go for 3/4 mile parade or the councillor camp because both happen to crash together. Thank GOD, I am able to attend both although Mr Raj only allowed me to go for the first day but one day is definitely better than none. The next problem was that I need to perform during the 3/4 mile parade which means, I will have to bring my guitar to the councillor camp as well. Once again, GOD had shown me the way. Winson decides to have Edwin as the guitarist then I also no need to bring my guitar. I really thank GOD that HE had answered my prayer. Have GOD answered your prayers? If not, you still have to has complete faith to the LORD because after all, HE died on the cross for our sins.
