Singing

When i am happy or sad, i find myself singing.

Somehow when i sing, my heart seems to be at peace.

Whether you like it or not, singing brings the emotions out of you. It makes you smile, causes you cry, brings light into darkness. It doesn't matter if you croak, sing out of rhythm or even tone deaf, 你开心就好.

Guess this is one of the best gifts that He has given to mankind, that's why music is such a powerful weapon across generations and cultures.

Sing sing sing and make music to the heavens, 来高声唱吧!

BACK ON EARTH

Haha you may wonder what happened to me for the past one month.

Totally no blogs.

Today, daniel said "wah i have been going into your blog leh, but no update. what's going on ah?" THAT reminded me "elaine chua, better get back to blog!"

SO HERE I AM, BACK ON EARTH, BACK TO ACTION.

From the start of this month, i went back to read Genesis again.

It is so nice and assuring and warming to remind myself that I AM HIS CREATION MADE IN HIS IMAGE. Even when Adam and Eve sinned, God took the initiative of asking them "where are you?"

Because He is God, He knew what had happened.

Because He is God, He came and looked for His creatures.

Because He is God, He set the rainbow as the sign of His love and covenant for His descendants. HE NEVER FLOODED THE EARTH.

Wow, so amazing that my God would come and love me so much.

Likewise, His love extends to all, no preference no favoritism.

God loves you for who you are.

He remembers what you had done (including the wrongs), but

He rewards what you had done for Him.

Remember the RAINBOW :D

Late Night

Writing blog at this late hour is rare..

In fact, still wide awake at this hour is even more rare..

The fact is the drowsiness caused by the medication had resulted me to sleep very early like 1030-11pm, so to be still here at this hour is indeed strange.

Guess sleeping at late hours is something that i had not done for long time. When i said late, i mean like after 3am. Doubt i can dong compared to those younger days, where didn't catch a wink till the next day was not an issue. Haha..age does play a part but more so in terms of no life and energy the next day when going to work. I remembered that for couple of weeks, i slept like 4am and woke up at 630am to work (haha don't ask me why i slept so late, obviously got reasons). Then whole day in office like a zombie and dead corpse. This is really no good when health was affected. That's explained why nowadays lesser late nights*.

* heard that sleeping late also causes deterioration of your skin e.g. popping of more pimples, deep black circles round the eyes etc*

Moral of this blog: SLEEP EARLY!!

Then what am i doing here? Ok, i am off to bed! Night world :D

Stronger

You are stronger, you are stronger.

Sin is broken, you have saved me.

It is written "Christ is risen!"

Jesus you are Lord of all.

Truly that is the awesome and powerful song that redirected the focus and worship back to God at last Sunday service. His presence is so strong that all of us rendered the glory to Him. It has been the sweetest and wonderful moments that we sang "in moments like this, i sing out a song. I sing out a love song to Jesus." It is an out-of-norm moment, where at our least expectation, God came down! That is what worship supposed to be...no human expectation, no human manipulation, just purely desire and longing to worship Him. I thank God for that special moment.

As i walked out from the hall, i felt stronger.

Because it is written "Christ is risen!"

With Christ, i will rise above the hurdle :)

Loads

Have i lost interest in blogging?
Somehow, no inspiration and mood to write stuff though i have loads of thoughts in my that tiny brain. Oh no!
Ok will attempt to write something now..
Recently, loads of things happened.
Probably that was the cause of my frequent headache, to the point that doc has sent me for brain scan in due time.
Talking about trusting God, this is the best moment.
Telling others to trust God, this is the best test.
I will trust in You Lord!

Asking loads of wisdom in dealing life issues.
Asking loads of guide in seeing life direction.
Tons and tons of prayers required, but i know God is never too tired to listen and hear us. Just amazed by His patience towards us when we can be irritating, unreasonable and demanding at times. *many times self-centred and selfish*
Lord thank you for being patient.

Good People

Good children are hard to come by!

Thank God for these gorgeous lovely ones that He has blessed me to be their godma :D

Love you gabriel, chloe and gaius (not forgetting claudia)!

Good people are hard to come by!

Thank God for the years of friendship :D

Love you pris and eunice!

In big and small, I thank God for everything!

1 Aug

A brand new day in the month of Aug..

And my brand new day was "greeted" by a visiting guest: MR 小强. It decided to pass by at the wee hours, at where i slept and alerted the sleeping worm up from her beauty sleep. Irritated by its visitation, i decided to exhibit my courage to kill it *i am still freaked out by it*. With the baygon in my hand, i chased after it, drew it out from its hiding place and sprayed the creature to its doom. I felt so proud of my achievement that i smashed it again with tissue paper. Haha you may think that i am "cruel", but wait till it came at that wrong hour and woke you up :D

Enough of 小强!

I spent the entire day breakfasting with the most cool pastor in town (i met a long-time-no-see friend at ikea!), followed by sending the team off to India at T2.

Felt so good to spend time with my goddaughter chloe, together with 2 other cooler persons in hougang town :)

Praise God for durians that i actually twice within a short span of 4 hours. Wah the price really made a huge difference in its quality and i must say 真的是一分钱一分货! The day ended beautifully when my bro and SIL came over for dinner with the family *Lord, protect my little niece and jo*

Haha blur me! I forgot to purchase home season parking for this month, so now i have to park somewhere further from my place. Haiz, take it as an exercise 吧!

明天会更好，祝你更愉快 :)
