Hello, and a very happy new year to all of you!

I'm back from my holiday, and its nice seeing you all again :) I heard about some of the new CG goals, and I must say I'm encouraged and glad that you guys are so excited about setting goals. (Haha, partly because I'm a lousy goal-setter, so that's why you guys are there to balance things out and be EXCITED about goal-setting. :D)

The goals seem fine EXCEPT the 6 cg outings per year thing. That's an average of 1 cg outing every 2 months. HAHA. You people sssuuuuuuuurrrrreeeeee have alot of time eh, don't need to study is it. What if your parents come after me with a chopper asking why their child has so many cg outings??? No more Chrystal-the-cg-leader.

So for my safety, and your well-being of being a good student and yfer, I suggest we cut down a bit on the cg outings :) Okay?

Haha, please try not to have last minute cg outings, like today when celeste called me to tell me you people want to go to east coast in the same afternoon. Sometimes I have some stuff on, so you need to give me ample time okay? Haha, and if there is no cg leader at most of your outings, Dave and shukun will come after me with a chopper. :D

PS: Remember to do your quiet times! (if not you will be chopper-rized. muahaha.)

Much love to you all,

Chrystal
(The chopper scenarios are an exaggeration, so please don't take it too seriously :))

See you on saturday!

Greetings, my favorite bunch of sec ones (going on sec 2s).

Christmas! yay. I hope you all like your gifts. For some of you, your letters and gifts are still with me because i didn't get to see you on Sunday to pass it to you. Yup, so come and bug me for it okay. If not there is a 99.9% chance i might forget, and you will end up recieving your christmas gifts next christmas. :)

Really want to thank all of you for making yf more enjoyable for me each week i go down. All your giggling, funny questions, "i don't know"s etc. really made cg time fun. May God bless each and every one of you to grow up and become men and women of faith! I hope to see some of you in leadership roles somewhere in the future. So BE PREPARED. I can jolly well arrow you, and before you know it, you might be a cg leader someday, taking a new bunch of young people. :D

Continue doing your quiet times regularly okay? Tis very important (if you haven't had this point drilled into your head by now). I'm so sorry I can't go for the Christmas Cg party on the 27th. I'll be flying off to bangkok for a short holiday that morning. So you won't see me at yf this saturday. I'll be back soon! I'll try to bring back food from thailand for all of you.

Let's continue to encourage and pray for each other, as we start the second year with this cg. (: Oh by the way, please feel free to organize your own outings if you guys want one. AND REMEMBER TO ASK THE GUYS ALONG. Don't leave them out. :)


Much love,
Chrystal
(this is the first time i'm blogging on the cg blog. Isn't it amazing.)

HELLO!

i see its been quite awhile since anyone updated..
so anyway i shall revive the blog(:

i guess all of you know about my paternal grandfather. yea.
well.. i was very sad at first because well you know.
then isobel shared this verse with me:
jeremiah 31:13
I will turn their mourning into gladness, I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
and so well i was slightly encouraged to know that God would do that for me, even though i didnt know how.
because to me its like this is how it happened. how can it turn into gladness?!
to me its like IMPOSSIBLE.
but this week, and in camp i've been learning how nothing is impossible for God(:

so gradually through this week He started to show me little blessings.
well not exactly blessings, but good things.
first was being able to like play with my nine year old cousin because she lives in canada. and i see her like once in two/three years.
and each time she's grown alot and slightly different. so ya.
second was that my aunties and uncles finally saw how different christians are because we love.
for one of the funeral days part of the camp comm and gladys and isobel came as they will know.
my aunty was taken aback when she saw what a big group of young people came.
as you probably know.. a funeral isnt such a nice thing to go to.
and my mother told her that they were from our church.
so well those who came, thanks for coming.
and third which happened to day is that my friend, cheryl, agreed to come to the christmas outreach(:
i actually didnt think of asking her. thanks to grace la ((:
its not actually connected to my grandfather but still its good.

so thanks CG for being so supportive ((:

LOVE, NICHOLA
