FLASHBACK! A post i written in the old blog (26 September 2006)

The God's clay we are today has change dramtically over the years ever since 4 yrs ago when it was first form when we were sec 2 in 2003 when YM first started. We undergo lots of changes each yrs... a change in YSGLs every yr! grp members leaving and new ones coming in... Our first ever YSGL was Ee Lin and joel the aysgl... it was the first time we all gathered together when the new system YM was form after the change from the old sunday school system. The grp members that were from the pioneer God's Clay that is still here today are Vyan, Reuben, Felicia, Ellen, Rachel and me. And i tink thats all! The rest change grp or left... and disappear never seen again... the grp was really "QUIET" at first... i was the most quiet one i tink!!! Felicia or Rachel then started to invite some mgs girls along to our grp, i tink thats when cherie came in.

Following yr... 2004... Ee lin change grp, and Joel joined with our new Ysgl Jerrod, and Mark the new aysgl... It was a big change for us... But i got to say... Jerrod done a good job taking us that year... Joel had to leave half way to study overseas in Australia, so Mark was the only Aysgl then... During this period even more mgs girls came... Stephanie, Huimin aka moonie, melanie, laura and soe-na den all started to join God's Clay, It was the MGS "revolution"!Haha! And the guys were just vyan,reuben and me with abt 10 other girls! Ellen then brought Jem in...and in the later part of the yr... a sec 3 grp merge with us...this was when the grp got very big! and started to get NOISY! to be honest we actually felt intruded by the sec 3 at first. Sorry justin,joshua! ... there were a huge number of guys and only one girl ... most of them left after awhile..only the 2 justin, joshua, Aj stayed on till today... charles also joined us that year.

2005! Its like the curse othe dark arts teacher in Harry potter!!! Our YSGL had to change AGAIN!!!! Every year we got a new leader just like in harry potter where the dark arts teacher somehow had to change every yr too... This time Jerrod left for overseas and Chin Ee took over us... during this year the change in God's clay developed further... i invited TW in... and somehow open up abit more thanks to tw... but still VERY QUIET!!!! Got to thank vyan for introducing the GC grp study during the o level period! Our grp somehow got closer a bit more..and thats when i actually first started talking to charles! We grew closer as a grp ever since we had our first God's Clay retreat introduced by chin ee!
From the retreat! We got even closer and i rmb the "POLAR BEAR" nite we played thru out the nite! We had discussions abt the problems in our grp and shared the vision for our grp for the following yr... we all open up in our grps during the discussion and shared openly... we tried to overcome those problems and somehow manage to solve it after the retreat... following the retreat was the YM CAMP 2005! Our grp met up during the camp in breaks and spend the finale nite together also! thats how much our grp has grown since 2003... we den started to have more grp outings in 2006... and our grp grew even larger with new members in 2006...benjamin tan, jia zhi, laura sisters, joshua lam joined us followed by some temporary members like sandra,ziyan and randy.... during one of the outings i remembered the "circle of trust" came abt from a pool day outing! hahha! had a fun time during those periods...
chin ee made ellen and me the new aysgl after mark had to go army and left us later.... to be honest i was very reluctant to be an aysgl at first... i wanted to tell chin ee that i didn't want to be one! but as time passes...i'm glad i took up this responsibility... well recently... the usual yearly curse to God's clay came again.. chin ee had to leave overseas for New York to further her studies in PHD... it was a sad period to see her leave after the many things she has done for us... well now Englee our new YSGL has taken over us... and we hope to see our grp grow closer and futher in the Lord with the guidance of Englee!

My dream is to see wesley YM see REVIVAL and every youth to have the PASSION and FIRE for God! And i can see that in our grp!!!
I will like to end of with a BIG thanks to God's Clay! for being my fellow small grp mates! U are the best grp i cld have!!! God Bless u all!!!:D

your.. Aysgl Benjamin Lau aka bendy, father ben signing out!
