Made many friends and learnt many things.. Let me recall the days and the things we did.. We went to 逢甲大学 to make friends with the people there and all.. Then we stayed in a hostel which is actually a 5 mins walk to the school - thank God for that.. Heard was actually God who provided for it cause lodging is a big problem for the trip..

Touched down. at Tao Yuan international airport.. Wee.. So funny, we came out and were looking for Jimmy's sign which says "Welcome SCCC".. We didnt see it anywhere and Christine came out and say "there it is".. LOL.. Was like huh? Cause its infront of us only.. Haha.. Then had burger king for dinner which we ate in the coach to Tai Chung (which lasted for 2 and a half hours).. It was like so dark and I thought was like 11 plus le but when I look at my watch, its lie only 8 30pm -.- Then went to our hostel and tada.. They had a welcome group there.. Haha..

3 March (Mon)

It was the first day in Taiwan. Went there to do prayer walk in the afternoon and after that we went carrefour to get the stuff we need for the evangelistic party and all.. Wow, that place is really big.. Sell so many things.. Aha.. And the electronic devises there are quite cheap.. But didnt buy any though.. Lol..

4 March (Tue)

The crusaders do street E in school every Tue.. Can you imagine that? And its not a survey cant of thing before sharing 4SL.. But rather its jus approaching them and introducing themselves and tada.. Out comes the 4SL.. Its really amazing.. I mean you take a look in Singapore.. The christians here cant even hold a handle to them when witnessing la.. They really go all out to share the 4SL.. And you know by doing this they will actually be laughed at by their classmates.. After witnessing, we went off to make friends around the campus..

It was the first day of making friends.. So was abit afraid too.. Felt really discouraged too to see our progress so far - then it was until 4pm lik that when my buddy and I went to the language center to make friends when things got better.. The language center is a place where students can actually go there to learn another language - mainly english.. Its a cool place too cause they have a section there for tutorial hour where anyone can go there and just interact with english hence improving their english.. So my buddy and I went there lor.. Then felt encouraged by a friend when I went online at the language center.. Realised that everything went crumbling down because I was relying on my own strength and that I forgot God.. Instead I was building my own kingdom and I lost the faith that was required of me.. I am only able to be filled with the spirit after I really believed and leave it all to him..

Went to their prayer meeting which was held every wed at 12-1pm.. Really could see their urgency and desire in wanting to see the whole world save.. Makes me wonder at times what are we as christians in Singapore really doing.. After went to made friends.. Made a friend and then we went to his class.. Cause the lecturers dont recognise faces de so just sneak in lor.. Haha.. In the end so boring.. But ok la.. Made some frenes after the lecture.. Then later at 4 went to take the bus to 中興大學 to visit their LM.. The journey took one hour plus in the end.. Lol.. In the end everyone needed to go to the loo.. So funny.. Then the staff there ran with us to the toilet.. ahahahahaha.. Their LM was great.. Had pizzas and chicken there and some games and all.. Yep.. We did a skit to intro

Went to our 逢甲大学 LM.. Felt God's presence there.. Can see that God will bless them richly because of us and they are going to soar to greater heights.. Haha..

Learnt what it means to be a leader today.. Understood for the first time what it meant by "Yes/No" vs "Preference".. Its something which I often fail to do.. A leader leads the team and makes adjustment according to what the team needs.. So yea.. Something I could bring back..

8 March (Sat)
Had a team retreat today.. We went to look at the life of Jeremiah.. He really lived a life of submission to the will of God, though it is hard.. But he was willing to obey regardless.. I only pray that I can be like him.. Had our first skit rehersal for our evangelistic party.. Then went to had steamboat for dinner.. It was treated by Jimmy's (a staff) parents.. Didnt really eat much.. Hehehe.. Cause we ate abit too full for lunch.. Oops.. hehehe.. O well..

9 March (Sun)
We went to Jimmy's church for service followed by an outing to 東海大學. Wa.. The church there is quite cool.. I mean I never expected them to have drumset.. Haha.. Then at 東海大學, we went sightseeing.. The place is really nice.. Its a big place with beautiful scenery and its also a tourist attraction.. Haha.. Took quite alot of pictures and we played dodge ball there too.. After that went to shop abit and went to have team dinner together nearby the hostel and "Mr. 38" aka "Curry 38".. The curry there not spicy de.. Haha.. But to me its acceptable la.. Cause I not good in eating spicy stuff.. Hehe.. Then we talk and crapped for so long until the shop closing le then we go off..

We went to 2 classes to give a presentation to the students about Singapore and in the meantime publicise about CCC in the school.. Ahaha.. They have watched our locally made "I not stupid" and "I not stupid too".. Its quite a popular show there.. And they were like so interested in the rules Singapore have.. Hahaha.. So funny..

Its another street E in campus.. This time its my turn to share the chinese 4SL in with the students there.. Actually I kinda like their kind of approach.. Haha.. More direct.. Hehe.. Met a guy who knows about christianity but thinks that Jesus is jus another of the many God.. Very hard to convince them.. So just live it to God lor.. Haha.. Then went to dinner with our friends.. Had curry baked rice.. Wa, its the most spiciest food ever eaten since coming to Taiwan.. Ahaha.. After dinner, my ministry partner Eric fell sick and had to be sent to the emergency department in the hospital.. And he had to stay for an hour in the hospital for observation before returning.. And its his first time in hospital - and its in Taiwan... The funny part.. Lol..

Its another prayer meeting.. But this time it was led by the Singapore team.. Haha.. Quite good ba.. Was reminded that we are suppose to bear good fruit and to enter the narrow gate which leads to life..

Went to 中興大學 again.. This time, they have an evangelistic party and we are there to perform our skit.. Haha.. And then I shared my testimony about my life and could see that it was impactful to the students there.. Made more friends and added more contacts onto my msn list.. =P

Today, it is my turn to fall sick... Woke up feeling very week and started puking and puking until cannot puke still puke.. Feel terrible.. Then went to the clinic to see the doctor and he said it was gastric flu - gave me the same medicine as another of my team mate who is also sick.. -.- Then he said its a disease which spreads from people to people.. Then it was our first evangelistic party in the evening.. I rested in the afternoon and met them in school to prepare the classroom for the whole event.. Quite ok la.. Went in faith and knowing that God will sustain me through the party.. Indeed, I feel much better after the party.. Then I was asked to be quarantined from Eric and so stayed at Jimmy's place.. Haha.. When I went to his place.. I opened the door and got so surprised.. Inside the place is so different from what I imagined when I look at the building from outside.. So much better then what I expected.. And the best thing, I could feel God's presence in the house.. God is definately watching over their home.. Haha..

Went to 芳儀阿姨's house for dinner.. Was so fun.. And their dogs are so cute.. They have 2 dogs which are free to run about - 2 more dogs are kept in a room.. The 2 dogs which are free to run about.. They are all so cute.. One is called "lucky" the other is called "bang bang".. So funny.. Cause Bang Bang very easy jealous de.. You keep calling lucky's name and never call bang bang, then bang bang will get jealous and angry de.. You can actually hear him growling and barking.. Haha.. There was so much food that we cant finish until there were so much leftovers.. -.- Cause we were sick too.. Haha.. Then had sharing and encouragements and also "talent performace".. Haha.. So funny lor.. All of us went to seat motorcycles to her place.. You know something, seating motorcycle is actually quite fun.. Haha...

Went to a one day trip to Taipei.. Sat the Taiwan's 高铁 (like a bullet train kinda thing).. Was really comfortable.. And spacious too.. Their train station is like an airport la.. So cool.. Well, cause they have land ma.. Haha.. Then we went to a memorial hall.. Not sure but chinese its called 民主紀念館.. Heard many events took place there.. Taiwan's national day is also held at that place every year.. Then went to Taipei 101 (world's tallest building -> 101 stories high).. Took quite alot of pictures cause from there can get a bird's eye view of the places around us.. Then went to 淡水 (its like a night market kind of thing - alot of people there).. Everyone bought alot of things there.. You should have seen the bags we bring back.. Ahaha.. Then went back to take the 高铁 back to Tai Chung.. They have MRTs in Taipei too.. But forgot what they are called le.. Anyway, though there are alot of people, but they come and go in an orederly manner too, even when entering and exiting the train.. Not like Singapore where eveyone jus squeeze in and out kind of thing..

16 March (Sun)
Our last service at Jimmy's church.. Worship was great.. Eric did his testimony on why he came for this trip.. Well done.. Woot.. Haha.. Hey its not easy talking to a big crowd ok.. Lol.. Then sang a song for the church - "我的救贖主活著" - a song to remind everyone, why are we doing this.. Its because Jesus is alive.. =)

After service there was an outing with the crusaders.. And some of the friends we made went too.. Haha.. And we went by motocycles.. Haha.. 14 of them in total set off at once.. Like some motor gang.. Haha.. Went to a place - which I forgot where.. The place there is like an antique place.. Almost like some kind of farm.. The houses are like those people in the 40s stay in de.. Then played a game of "angel mortal prophet and witch game".. Haha.. Pretty funny.. Haha.. Seeing everyone going crazy debating who is the witch.. Then had dinner and went to the arcade.. Quite fun.. Then played until my hand very pain.. Lols.. After when to pack up and leave Jimmy's place.. Back to staying at the hostel.. LOLs..

Our first day ever where we never see the staff for the whole day.. Haha.. Some of us went out with one of our contacts.. Went to a mountain and ride bicycle and all.. Then went Go-kart.. Haha.. Was great.. It has been quite a while since I last ride the bicycly.. Lol.. Then went to play basketball while the girls when to play badminton.. We went to another hostel to play.. Wa, that hostel is like so big la.. Lol.. Like some condo lik that.. So many buildings also.. All students and teachers stay one..

Had a Personal Reteat today.. This time without any materials but jus a notebook and a bible to rely on.. It was a time of solitude-ness and I chose the place outside the library overlooking the whole central area of the school..

Things which God told me through the things around me:

1) Sparrows - How free are they, so carefree. Reminds me of Matthew 6:25-34.. So if God watches over them, how much more does he watches over men?

2) Ants - We are like ants, ants are tiny compared to a mere human. They cannot see what we see. If we place a rubber band around an ant, they will not be able to come out. They are just like sheeps.. Can you then imagine yourself dying for an ant? Yet God's love was so much that he died on the cross for us.. If God is the size of a mere human, then I think we are so much smaller then an ant (maybe the size of an atom)..

3) 2 leaves - 1 red an tattered with holes, the other green and healthy.. God is able to transform us from the first to the second..

2 Corinthians 5:17 -> 17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

When the whole thing came to a close, I realised that through what God has shown me, he has shown me that he is all loving, rich in mercy and abundant in grace..
