Fashion Tips and Stuff!
Hi SISTERS and brothers,
I’ll be posting interesting tips on fashion whenever I can so we can all rise up to a whole new level of “prettiness and shuai-ness”! :D
For this few weeks I’ll be posting up information about different body shapes for both females and males respectively. Knowing our body shape and type is essential so that we would know what kind of clothes flatter and what kind of clothes would amplify our flaws. Tips on how we can better improve our body shape would be included as well.
Well, these few weeks I’m going to touch on female body shapes and types. Brothers can take a look as well (to impress the females!!!) as I would post the information for male body types after I’m done with the females. SISTERS! Let’s equip ourselves so we can help one another and stun everyone! WOO~
OK, let’s start!
FEMALE BODY SHAPES
Basically there are 5 common types of body shapes.

Minimize hips and thighs and also create an illusion of curves above the waistline.
OPT FOR:
a) Long A-line skirts
(mostly for office styles)
c) delicate chiffon shirt with puffed sleeves
d) shoulder enhancing shrugs/boleros
e) chunky heels
TRY TO AVOID:
a) bias cut skirts
b) pencil skirts
c) skinny jeans

A Privilege to be at Asia Conference!
The journey was long and "narrow" (squeezy on train) but it's all worthwhile! =)
I wasn't there for the full Asia Conference due to an overseas trip. But with just the few sessions of the Conference I attended, i am deeply impacted.
I am really inspired by how Pst Kong is bold enough to stand up on the values that God input into his life. In front of a congregation that may consist lots of highly conservative and skeptical people, he's not afraid to set the standard. Not there to insult or to be haughty, but an urgency to draw Asia closer to God and to do even greater things together, carrying the heartbeat of God. I'm really proud to be part of this.
There are lots of things that i am impacted by - especially all the preaching. But one thing i really am impressed about is the standard of the whole conference. Even the mint case consist of a revelation! "Speak the fresh word"! Not just the smell or taste. But also speaking the fresh Rhema, a daily energy source from God.

Not forgetting to mention the standard of the ushers, securities, the food area, the musicians, basically all of them. And i am proud to say that we have really sharp pastors! I saw Pst Tan going about to help out with Pst Ulf, sharp and swift. It may seem a small thing. But to me, it takes a lot of a person to assist Pst Kong's mentor (Pst Ulf).
I believe the spirit of excellence is what i really need to keep working on. I thank God I'm part of this! Let's really keep the DNA of CHC and continually break-through in the standard of excellence! More things the next generation will do! =)

ASIA CONFERENCE!
Asia conference was AWESOME!!! It’s an event that I will never regret going.
Everyone’s of our hearts were expecting for something great to happen. Despite being tired during the 5-day long conference, my spirit was hungry and thirsty for more of God. And every session, God showed himself true to me. Truly indeed, seek and you will find!
God’s presence was very tangible throughout the whole conference. New revelations and new ideas were revealed. All of the sessions were great and the word preached by all our beloved Pastors were mind blowing.
But 1 particular session hit me. It was when Pastor Phil prayed for the people from different countries and started to prophesy over them. Many people would just watch and at times pray for those on stage. But as I was standing there, I prayed for the anointing of God. I felt that even though I’m not the one up there being prayed for and prophesied over, God still wants me to do something great for him, so I cried out to him. Within a few seconds, God just pour out his overflowing love and anointing on me. From that moment, I decided to do something greater for God.
Asia conference is a life changing event. Even though the conference itself has ended, but now is not the time to slack and do what we want. Now is KAIROS TIME, time to make a difference, time to impact the marketplace and time to grow our cellgroups. Let's grab this kairos moment to rise up and not stay in the 1st place, we need to go out into the 2nd space and impact the marketplace.
Today, my decision of something greater is to grow my cell group. And I know that we can do it. Let it be yours too!

My Baptism Experience!
Baptism..
Something that didn't come easy for me, something that caused me to strengthen and build up my faith, that caused me to visualise and P.U.S.H ( Pray Until Something Happen )consistently.
Despite parental objection in the beginning, God made it through for me. Our God works in a mysterious way. My parents reacted differently when I showed them the baptism form. Instead of the usual response they gave me, they signed the form!
Thoughts were streaming into my mind during baptism itself. I was and is touched by God's love. How He place me in a situation in life which caused me to grow stronger, to be wholly relied on His strength.
Joy began to fill me after I got out of the pool! The feeling was beyond description for no words in any human languages could describe it!
Now that I'm baptized, I'm convicted to follow Jesus for the rest of my life, to grow in faith and relationship with God, moving on to the next level! (:
So, friends! Fear not and stay full of faith in spite of the situation you are in! If God can do it for me, He can do it for you too! (:
* Turn to your neighbour and tell them: " I hope to see you for the next baptism!" *

Through the valleys
1 The hand of the LORD came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. 2 Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry. 3 And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”
So I answered, “O Lord GOD, You know.”
4 Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! 5 Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. 6 I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the LORD.”’”
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them.
9 Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”’” 10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.
11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13 Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. 14 I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken it and performed it,” says the LORD.’”
Let's SPEAK forth, For our words carries power, The power to build up, and put down( please only do this to the evil one) , do not look down on the authority God had placed on us.
It is only through a valley, that we see ourselves emerge victorious, and ready for a greater challenge.

If you're at the deepest valley in your life...
... congratulations! Cuz the only direction left, is up - you will get out of there. That's a promise. Here's the word I got during cell at ministering time that supports that, I just didn't have the opportunity to share. I believe it will speak to some of you. =) It kinda continues from where PeiJing left off.
Romans 8: 28-39
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written:
“ For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
