Amplify in the City
Dear Friends,
Were you there 2nite? It was amazing!!!
More than 500 youth / young adult were there 2nite just praising God. Wonderful worship led by Kevin Kong and the worship team. If you are not aware, Kevin and his better half spent abt a year in the United States to hone in into their God given musical talents. It was amazing to seem him lead the crowd into an wonderful time of worship. Wow, it was just... mmmm .... just marvellous! I mean... I have been out of touch with all the latest songs in the P&W arena but there I was singing as if I have known it for the longest time. Well, I suppose it was bec he was easily able to lead us to our maker.
The preacher for the nite was Leonard Koh. I knew him from his younger days as a teen passionate abt God and at the same time looking up at us from Youth Praise Ministry. Today I look up at him as he has grown to be an amazing preacher of the Word of God. The way he expounded on the Word was ... WOW! I have not heard such wonderful preaching for a long long time.
It was truly inspiring to see a laity having such deep insights on the Word and being able to deliver the Word as he did. Delivery is the key. You might have an average message but the way you deliver it makes a whole lot of difference. Leonard has learnt the art.
Another remarkable thing was that this was a youth laity event ran by the youth laity for the youth laity. Mmm... Amplify seems to have learnt the art of attracting the youth.
Meet them at the Catholic Spirituality Centre on Fridays. CSC actually sponsored the entire event. Praise God!

Hi Again
Wow! I did not realise that it has been more than a month since I last blogged. March was a really busy month for me. Well... but busy is good... it means being able to provide more for my family.
If you did not know by now, I have changed job I have left MOE to join Adam Khoo Learning Tachnologies Groups. The decision was not easy and at the same time not that tough either. I just happen to come across too many teachers who are dissillutioned and at the same time dedicated. So much so that they are willing to spend the rest of their lives in the system.
As for myself, on the other hand, I decided otherwise. I don't want to look back 20 years from now, if I am alive till then, and tell myself what if... what if... I have chosen another path. I think it is better for me to venture out and find out for myself rather than be in the state I just mentioned.
Don't get me wrong. Students were great... being in a junior college... the system has already got rid of all the trouble makers in secondary school. It is just the rigidity of it all.. it just does not gel with my personality type.
More details another time. Happy Easter, one and all.

Joy & Prayer
One day a novice in Rome came to me. She was crying. I asked her, "What is the matter?"
She had just come back from a family and said, "Mother, I have never seen such suffering. They had nothing in the house. There was this terrible sickness, the terrible cancer, and I could do nothing. Please allow me to do a little bit of extra penance. I want to share in that suffering."
She was a young sister, scarcely three years in our congregation, but it was painful for her to see the suffering of the others.
Joy is prayer, Joy is strength. Joy is love. Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls. God loves a cheerful giver. He gives most who gives with joy. The best way to show our gratitude to God and the people is to accept everything with joy. A joyful heart is the normal result of a heart burning with love. Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of Christ risen.
This I tell my sisters. This I tell you.

Chinese New Year
Happy CNY to one and all. Hope your days will be filled with red packets. Hahaha.
It is a great time of the year once again, for family members and extended family members and friends to come together and to share love with one another. Have we ever wondered what is the best way to share love? Some of us share love by winning money from each other… well not everyone is going to feel loved especially the one who goes back with an empty pocket. Hahaha… I know, it has happened to me before. So what is the best way to share love?
Frankly, I am still on the road of discovery and look forward to find more insights to the question. As of now, I feel that one of the best ways to share love is to PRAISE. Yes, praise.
Go and say something good to someone. It would make a whole lot of difference to the person. In a society that is filled with negativism, you have an opportunity to make a positive change is a person’s life. No matter how blatantly the negative aspects of the person may be staring at your face, search out for the positive one and praise the person.
Praise will do marvels. Test it out for yourself and you will be amazed.

Hearts On Fire
There is a first time for everything and yesterday we experienced the first rally organized by the NUS Catholic Students’ Society outside the confines of its campus.
In a bold step to reach out as many youth and young adults as possible, NUS CSS decided to bring an interesting twist to its annual Catholic Awareness Week. Catholic Awareness Week was never done on such a grand and large scale as it was this year. It is really heartening to see our NUS catholic students on fire with the love of God and the intense desire to share the love with others.
The climax of the Catholic Awareness Week was the rally ‘Hearts on Fire’ held at Catholic Junior College Arts Centre. As early as 6 p.m. a huge crowd was already gathered at the centre waiting for the doors of the auditorium to open. By the time the doors opened already three quarters of the auditorium was filled and by the time the rally started the auditorium was filled to its maximum capacity.
More than 800 excited and enthusiastic youth and young adults spent an awesome time of praise and worship with the worship team from SACCRE Youth. They were led from the gates to the courts and into the holy of holies where they encountered the immense love of the Father and the Son through the Holy Spirit. Their hearts were set ablaze on fire with the Love of God, a love that goes beyond our comprehension.
After the praise and worship, we had the privilege to hear the testimony of Theresa and Jeremy. Therese shared on how she experienced the love of God in a recent mission trip and how it has transformed her relationship with her family members, friends and herself. Jeremy shared on how despite having a medical condition, the love of God drives him on regardless of the setbacks he faces in life.
Rev. Fr. Simon Pereira, CSsR, was the preacher for the night. His immense interaction with the youth was immediately evident from the moment he started. He understands the challenges that the youth today face and was able to relate to them. At the same time, the importance of the role of the Holy Spirit in the lives of each and everyone of us was strongly put across. ‘Our hearts need to be on fire for Christ,’ he said.
This was followed by a time of Eucharistic adoration followed by healing. The Power of God moved strongly in the hearts of us all. Praise be the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you NUS CSS for going out of your comfort zone and making it possible for us to experience God in a powerful way.
