The first half of the year flew by so very quickly. So thought I just share the highlights of the past 6 months and its highs and lows. May I present you 'The Top 10 Highlights' so far :

10. Switchfoot
Obviously Switchfoot coming down to our shores left a deep scar. Had been waiting endlessly for the fine boys from San Diego to come down and put on the electrifying show I have heard so much about. And an electrifying show did they put on indeed.

9. Taiwan
Got the chance to visit Taiwan and immerse myself with taiwanese sausages, weird popiah rolls with ice-cream and the must have beef noodles! Ironically, I found myself liking Taiwan more than I initially thought i would. It will certainly help if I could converse in Mandarin. I felt disable without a translator.

8. The car and a promotion
Good to be able to finally afford your own car. And a promotion afterwards to help pay off the car. Irony.

7. The fourletterstory gigs
fourletterstory were give various opportunity to play and we did not hesitate to take some of them. To date the most memorable show will definitely be for the Tailor Made Man Musical which the band got the chance to contribute 3 piece of work. We're humbled.

6. The new job
The exciting change to come in the following months is the transition from Publicis to Milk & Co. Again humbled by the blessings that have paved way. Along with Milk & Co. is a one month much needed sabbatical that will see myself finally on an actual break in 3 years.

5. the fourletterstory release
The band had the chance to go in the studios and record 2 of our materials. I'm happy with the result of the recording which took a lengthy 6 months to produce. The next step: launch ourselves into the airwaves.

4. The growth in Teenacity, the Homes for teens and a Revolution party and camp.
Teenacity has surpass the 50 mark and are reaching for 100. God has in his own way grown the ministry both in wideness and depth. Homes has been an avenue for these guys to share their thoughts no matter how intimate it was. The revolution party saw hands raised in surrender and that continued in the camp where they graduated and were ready to face the flow; the race against the flow.

3. The growth of teens
The evidence of teens in Teenacity growing and maturing reckons the need to push to a higher level. Never will i say to have seen such commitment from teens that will work the field to reap the harvest together. I'm humbled yet again.

2. The Ipoh incident
How could I deny the popular Ipoh incident that occured to the band. I won't go into the details of the occurrence. That you can read at
(http://fourletterstory.blogspot.com/2008/01/story-told.html). More so than not wanting to omit this incident from the list (which i ranked 2nd), is the truth that cannot be denied;

'And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me......for when I am weak, then am I strong.' KJV

1. Grace
What tops the highlight for the first half of the year? One word: Grace. His ample grace that surpasses my understanding and comforts me during the highs and lows. And it is by His grace that I wake up each morning knowing that it's worth living and when sometimes I forget the purpose of life, it's that grace that reminds me again. It's that grace that leads me to repentance, and that same grace that leads me know that I'm loved.

It's grace so amazing when Jesus took the cross and more amazing that the cross was ours.


And I'm so filthy with my sin
I carry pride like a disease
You know I'm stubborn, Lord, and I'm longing to be close
You burn me deeper than I know

And I feel lonely without hope
And I feel desperate without vision
You wrap around me like a winter coat
You come and free me like a bird

My love burns for You
And my heart feels for You
My life good for You
My heart burns for You

David Crowder Band's Obsession


So six months has passed and 6 months to come. Let me remind myself this; let go, let god.
