Heh... 2 blog posts in 1 one day! On 8.8.08.... National Day Eve and Opening Ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. Double blessings indeed...

It's with a sense of apathy that I wrote this post. We have assembled a great BB soccer team over the years but recent news is we have 'lost' our Nanhua sch soccer field which we trained on and used for soccer friendlies. Over the years, our soccer team have matured and we have achieved modest success. There is no doubt that the enthusiasm in soccer also contributed to the great spirit in BB as well as makes BB life more interesting.

We had a soccer friendly held in Apr with a Choa Chu Kang class team. It started off pretty even, nevertheless our perseverance paid off and we started to threaten their goal. After our 1st goal, their goalie began to make uncharacteristic mistakes and we score 3. The opponent pull 1 back with a tremendous cracker from 25 yards out which DC has no chance. The stage seems set for an exciting 2nd half until the thunderstorm came and we were forced to abandon the match...

The future for BB soccer seems uncertain at the moment... and we can certainly see uprising talents in our Sec 1s. I firmly believe we can continue the soccer culture in BB. The only problem we have is finding a suitable football pitch for training and friendlies.

Let's pray and ask God to provide the ideal soccer field.

John 16:24 - "Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete."

Greetings! It has been a while since there is a new blog post or tag. Let's revive the 94th BB Blog again! Here are more photos to share on the BBAQ'08 held on 5th, Apr.

Acts 20:24: "However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace."

5th Apr - The Day of Reckoning... BB Adventure Quest 2008!

After tedious months of tough training, it's time to face the challenge... can our Boys rise up to the test??! Can they cross the finishing line in triumph?

See our Boys in action...
Team 160:

Team 201:

The Results?

Both teams performed well, finishing in the top 40 and cross the finishing line ahead of the cutoff timing, out of a total of 120 teams. This is the 1st time in 94th history that our AQ teams were able to finish the race. Both teams also showed grit and determination in the race, the spirit and teamwork displayed makes me really proud of them. And I believe all of them enjoyed the race and the companionship.

In life, what's important is that everyone crosses the finishing line together. To accomplish this, we have to help and support one another as a family - Love One Another. The 94th BB Family.

Heb 12:1 - "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."

6 Feb

Eve of Chinese New Year - While everyone rushes home to spend time with their family or to do last-minute spring cleaning, 94th Coy did something special....

The BB Sec 3s and 4s bless the neighbouring HDB blocks (401, 402 & 403) with mandarin oranges. Working in pairs, the Boys combed each level carrying heavy boxes of oranges and bless each house door to door. There were a few voices of skepticism as the people thought we were salesmen peddling mandarin oranges or CNY goodies. These were a minority group. There were many people who were pleasantly surprised by our blessings and welcomed us with their smiles. Many folks bless us with hongbaos, goodies and mandarin oranges. As much as we refused, we still receive several hongbaos (which we decide to give to charity) at the owners' insistence. What really warmed our hearts is that the community is really blessed by our little act of blessing! What seem insignificant has a really big impact in the hearts of the heartlanders - it shows we care. Many times isn't this important? In the midst of our lives, have we took time to show love and concern to our loved ones? It's not the gifts that matters but the act of love and heart...

To the group of Boys who willingly stayed late to bless another block of flat to finish the remaining mandarin oranges,... thank you.

To the event organizers (De Cheng & Joel), well done! Appreciate your effort in making this a success!

To all Boys,...

I hope you enjoy blessing the community. Good work and keep it up! This is the true mark of servant leadership.

May the Lord bless you with a abundant and prosperous CNY!

----------------
Squad Q visited the St Andrew's Home for the Aged on a fine Sat morning. It also happened to be the release date for Harry Potter new book. JJ was worried that he could not collect his book from the Post Office in time but thank God he made it in time. We set off to the Home from Clementi MRT and nearly lost our way. haha... it was along Clementi Ave 5 but we steer off course initially. Eventually, we made it to the Home.

The Boys spent the 1st hour helping the Home to clean the windows and fan before settling down to chat with the old grandmas. Initially, they were a bit shy but they managed to overcome their fear and ended up playing mahjong and chatting with the ah mas...

Finally, we ended the visit with a small performance - singing "Lao Shu Ai Dao Mi" to the ah mas. The grannies enjoyed themselves and some of them were clapping their hands. Kaijie and a few Boys did a great job coordinating this performance!

I'm very proud of my Boys as they overcome their initial fear and demonstrated servanthood and love for the poor - like Jesus. Community Service is all about showing love and compassion for the poor through service. Well done, Boys!

Here's a biblical verse to share with everyone.

Matthew 25:35-36, 40
‘For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’…
“The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’

God Bless!
