At the main lobby, the numerous youths were wearing in different occupation attires/uniforms outside the gate doors. Most of them claimed to be "nurses", "police officers","army" and "school students" while waiting anticipatedly for the doors to be opened. As we waited for the time being at the lobby, I saw a "zoologist", a "matador", a "macho man", a "pilot" and a "taxi driver" loitering around. *Humorous* -->The taxi cover was displayed on top of a man's head instead of on a real taxi!! I have not seen it before!!! Sound interesting, isn't it? Coming across in my mind, I asked myself how I would wish I could wear my company's brown uniform. It could be more fun. However, I could not be allowed to wear in the uniform because there got an identification game for me to participate.
As the gate doors started to be opened by the ushers, the youths entered in the auditorium area. We started to worship God by singing songs. The songs were very great! After the songs, there got games for the youths. One of the games was the Identification of Occupation. There were 6 people (including me) to be lined up on the main stage in front of audience for identification purposes. On the Powerpoint screen, it outlined the different job positions as stated below:
- Singapore Media Award finalist
- Nurse
- Horticulture Officer
- Defence Engineer
- Pro-Gamer
- Business Analyst
The emcees requested someone to come, give a guess and pick a correct person that was related to his/her occupation. To give this person a difficult guess, all six of us wore in clothes which did not relate to our occupations. Everyone failed to give a guess initally. Hahaha!!! To the worst, Luke Lai said I was the one who gave the audience the longest time to have a correct guess. Hee!!! Indeed, I am a horticulture officer.
The next game was "60 seconds of Thanksgiving". The winner went to a person who would thank God in the highest numbers within 60 seconds. I was one of the competitors on the stage to give thanks to God. But from the bottom of my heart, I did not like to compete BUT just want to give thanks to God. That's it! I thanked God for:
- Giving me a right job.
- Creating wonderful & beautiful nature which I am really enjoying in the working environment.
- Guiding me to walk in the right path, which would please God.
- His words which provide me great comfort, kindness, patience, love, mercy and protection.
- His words which show the way, truth and life!
- Taking good care of me, my family, friends and bro & sis in christs.
- His forgiveness on all my sins in my whole life.
- Staying joyful, no matter what my life is good or bad.
- The church deaf ministry through Pastor David Wee. (Want to add here although I have forgotten to say to the audience yesterday. Alamak!)
- Giving Up His Life for paying the price of our sins on the Cross. (Want to add here although I have forgotten to say to the audience yesterday. Alamak!)
After the thanksgiving game, I received a token of appreciation. Guess what??? Wah, a cute turtle doll!!! This animal is part of my nature conservation! : )
Afterwards, we worshipped God by singing songs with joy and happiness. God is great and good all the time! Amen! Pastor Eugene Seow shared God's gospel with us about Psalms. The whole book of Psalms has 150 chapters. This Psalm book has the highest number of chapters among the other books. Read a Psalm chapter each day.
Striking towards 12am midnight, we were standing readily and looking at "10, 9, 8,....3, 2, 1" on Powerpoint presentation. Then came a loud burst of big balloons and colour strips falling down from the ceiling. At same time, the small balloons were also falling down upon us. It was very great! Give thanks to God for spending my wonderful time with Him in the Countdown Party. After the party, I still stayed happy and joyful with God! It is such worthwhile! I was thinking that ungodly people who might feel emptiness after Countdown party was ended. Without God, it is not possible!
Wishing you a blessed Happy New Year!!!
Want to share God's verse with you:
Jesus spoke to the people again. He said,"I am the light of the world. Those who follow me will never walk in darkness. They will have the light that leads to life" - John 8:12
