Pastor Kong Hee on “Cheap Grace Preachers”

Pastor Kong Hee

Videos via unitedontherock. The recordings are described as City Harvest Church’s Pastor Kong Hee’s sermon on “cheap grace preachers” at Livets, Ord, Sweden.

Part 1:

Part 2:

Who are these cheap grace preachers that Pastor Kong Hee is slamming? Some of the comments to the two videos  pointed to Pastor Joseph Prince and the New Creation Church.

City Harvest and New Creation are probably the two fastest growing and biggest church congregations in Singapore today. I am an atheist and am unfamiliar with the Christianity world. Are these two churches at loggerhead with each other?

Poly or JC?

Poly or JC?

I usually do not click on Google text ads, but this particular website caught my attention – http://polyorjc.sg/

I was thinking – finally, the folks at our Ministry of Education (MOE) has noticed the lack of higher education guidance at the secondary school level (it was so during my era, not sure if there’s improvement now) and has decided to do something about it.

Alas, the website is not produced by MOE, but rather, the very innovative Singapore Polytechnic (SP), probably as part of their recruitment campaign.

Try googling phrases like “Poly or JC” or “Poly vs JC”. You will find that SP has done their research and cleverly bought into paid search listing as well as done the right SEO to prop up the natural listing for their campaign website.

The website itself is nifty too – utilising social network tools like twitter, facebook and blogs to reach out to the youths.

I like this marketing campaign. Well done SP. If I am a secondary school student now, I will definitely go check out SP’s open house.

One-off version Porcelain Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

Pocelain Ferrari

Via CLing. I am not much of a car fanatic, but this one-off version of the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is a real fine work of art.

The unique car, hand-painted with Song Dynasty Ge kiln pottery pattens, is a collaboration between Ferrari and leading Chinese artist, Lu Hao.

For extra authenticity, Lu Hao used a “cracked glaze”pattern, with raised ridges designed to simulate cracks in the surface of ancient porcelain.

Inside the 599, the traditional Ferrari ‘Start’ button on the steering wheel is jade-encrusted and the numbers on the rev counter are written in ancient Chinese  script. In the boot, there is a luggage set etched with depictions of the Silk Road.

The car was sold for a princely sum of S$2.5 million in an auction in Beijing, graced by former F1 world champion, Michael Schumacher.

Beyond’s 海阔天空 Concert @ Lunar

Concert poster

I grew up listening to these dudes. How can I miss their concert when I hear that two of the disbanded Beyond members, Paul Wong (黄贯中) and Yip Sai Wing (叶世荣) are getting together for a concert at Lunar?

Back in my teens, I will buy all their albums and go for their autograph sessions whenever they come to Singapore. I won’t call myself a junkie as I don’t scream and go gaga when I see them, but I do appreciate their brand of rock music.

The concert opens with a few numbers from Sai Wing’s solo albums. Sai Wing is better known as a drummer than a singer and it was rather weird seeing him with a mic.

Paul then took the stage with his guitar and belted a few numbers from his solo albums. This guy is rock steady and still looks as stylo-milo as he was a decade ago.

Lunar was packed

Then came the moment the crowd were all waiting for – the two members of Beyond got together to belt out some of Beyond’s greatest hits. The crowd went totally wild. Here’s two videos which I recorded to share. Enjoy:

Performing one their classics – 真的爱你:

Another Beyond’s classics – 海阔天空:
