Last day of the year!!
As i recalled whatever things that had happened in this year, be it good & bad, all things work for good to those who love Him. Haha..so may the Lord help me as i will be finishing my last project of the year in couple of hours' time i.e. Thanksgiving service. Die die make sure we won't miss the countdown :D
Hmm..was relaxing at my godchildren's home, then HBO was showing the Indiana Jones's series of movies. Sometimes, it is good to just relax & watch some oldies movies. With gab entertaining himself in the cafeworld, gaius nuaing away & chloe walking around with her kok kok shoes, what a way to pass by the afternoon before the real work starts. Haha..But i like it as i drank the home-made coffee, amused by my godchildren, what can i say about life right? So the idea of nuaing is pretty cool. But with my character, i can't nua for that long. Somehow, my hands must do something. Before i know it, i was helping the kids keeping their lego toys. Haha..elaine chua..you just simply don't know how to enjoy life by nuaing :p
Ok, getting myself ready for the real thing. Haha..not coke but countdown.
Let me wish all of you "HAPPY 2 0 1 0".
It is my pleasure to blog in 2009 & may 2010 colour even more of my blogging world.
Hope you are blessed :D

Writing Notes
Oh my..another round again..
Haha..i am buried in writing CET notes again.
No materials at all, so have to start from scratch. Haha..thank God for internet that i could get some ideas & come out with the course syllabus first.
Oh my..no related books on the Miracles of Christ in the church library.
BUT thank God for TCA library where i managed to borrow couple of books & started to write my very first lesson.
Though the process is tedious, i sort of enjoyed it because it pushes me to the limit of learning & feels the sense of achievement upon completion. Haha..it reminded me those thriled feelings when i first penned the notes of modern cults.
Today my eyelids are so heavy after staring at the screen for hours, not forgetting that i woke up at the killer hour of 3am by sending my two aunts off to the airport. Of course, cannot sleep a wink at all upon return then next got to prepare myself for work liao.
Haha..i need my power nap :D BUT i thank God for the joy within me that sustained me through the whole day.
The joy of the Lord is our strength!

Countdown
3 more days to go before we welcome 2010..
Haha..before i welcome that, i have to finish my last project of the year: Thanksgiving Night :D
Not sure how it is going to turn out but i guess that doesn't matter since God will be in charge & He is in control.
Come to think of it, i have not gone for night cycling for ages. I must say it was fun but that was in the past because i am still young & energetic. Haha..nowadays, i cannot dong through late hours & by 3am, i will be seeing stars & moon liao. This year, my bro invited me to join them for night cycling. Though my spirit is willing, but my flesh is weak. Sure cannot take it one, so better 有自知自明，自有量力. Go for supper still can, but not the challenging night cycling. Haha..i do miss cycling. One of these days, i will bring the kids to east coast for cycling :)
It has been a fruitful 2009 for me in terms of making new friendships, knowing new people, taking up the masters program for my biblical studies, travelling to new countries & of course growing deeper in my spiritual walk. God is truly faithful.
People ask me "How come you can travel so often?" I guess the only answer to give is "God is faithful. As long as i do His work & trust in His provision, He will bless me & grant me the desires of my heart. I still can enjoy life with God as my Senior Partner."
My friends, though we are counting down in the number of days, yet we can count even much more of His blessings in our lives.
Count His blessings :D

New Image
One day ago i was celebrating Christmas in church & with friends.
The next moment, Christmas came & went off silently.
Probably you would still hear carols ringing about in the shopping centres, but i tell you sooner or later, you would welcome the rhythm of CNY songs. Haha..one moment ago was busy shopping for Christmas gifts, then next moment i would be looking out for new year clothes.
If i am not wrong, i did not get any new clothing for the last two CNY. Guess i would look for something new, bright & probably clothes that i may have never tried before in the coming year. Haha..make 2010 a happening one by working on my attire. How about that?
Haha..i would also have to start working on my hair liao. The curls are almost gone, the colour too. The only thing never gone is the length of the hair. Oops..better do something as i think my hair is out of shape & out of form liao. Hmm..but i hate to go to the salon leh because you would have to spend hours there perming, cutting, washing, dyeing the hair. Well, bo bian lor..要美就要牺牲咯！就是这样的啦!!
Haha..suddenly just thought of this carol "you better watch out, you better think twice.."
Haha..i guess u all want me to change my image right?

Editing Photos
Haha..really long overdue photos!
Guess what? They are all piling up.
The Beijing holiday ones..then the Taiwan ones..then still got my India mission trip ones.
Wah can die man..must really get it done before the year ends else people will "haunt" after me :)
The moral of the story is DON'T ACCUMULATE!
Haha..like me now.."suffer" to do editing for the tons of photos
* faint faint *
Spent the whole morning editing, rearranging & renaming them. What is this man? Can't believe that i am doing this on Christmas eve. Haha..i shall press on & get this done :p
Hmm..thinking of investing in a good camera as the present one has served me for the last 3 years.
Should i or should i not? Hmm..

Princess and the Frog
Decided to bring my godson Gabriel to watch "Princess and the Frog".
Haha..not sure if he understands or even asks his famous question "Why?"
Me: Gab, when you watch the movie later hor, don't keep asking me "why" hor?
Gab: Why, godma?
Me: * faint * Gab, i just told you not to ask "why" right? Haha..but ok lah, godma allows you to ask 5 "why" during the show.
Gab: Godma, i think no need lah.
Me: But why?
Gab: Godma, you just told me not to ask "Why" and now you asked me again!!
Me: * faint *
Haha..that's Gab! Always so entertaining & amusing. True enough. He didn't ask too many "why". Instead asked me "Godma, what time does it end ah? How come the show so long?" Haha..really win liao, but well at least i did something different with him.
Also had a good time with Jiawen & Jiajia :D
Haha..found an overgrown daughter for ps aaron & grace. Gab's chinese name is kaiwen,chloe's is yingwen & gaius's is shaowen. Then Lebbillie's is jiawen, so she is the lost found sister of the low kids. Hahaaaaaa...

Young
Being young is a cool thing but not a privilege. Because everrryoooone will outlive being young & graduate into the adulthood.
One thing i personally felt that can be secured is BEING YOUNG AT HEART.
We may grow old physically, yet we can keep ourselves at a young mode.
However, while keeping yourself in a young mode, you must strike a balance of being YOUNG & MATURE. You cannot be young, yet not growing mature. We should be growing in statute.
I guess it's how you want your life to be. For me, i chose to keep my heart young at heart, so that i can stay tuned with the young people & build the bridge with them. At the same time, i will not stop growing in statute so that i can minister to young people with God's wisdom & maturity.

Overdue Testimony
This is a long overdue testimony :P
Erm..when we were in India, we were caught in the strike situation. The team members cannot go out for ministry as all modes of transport were freezed except motorbikes. There i was, already struggling to have time to finish what i needed to teach at the Bible school. Now with this thing happened, how man? The students kept pestering me to try coming to the school on motorbike. Praise God for their hunger in the Word of God.
Haha..thank God for ps michael's motorbike & i reached the school safe & sound. According to the locals, i might be attacked though motorbikes are allowed on the road. Thank God for protection :D
Quite fun to sit on motorbikes esp when we are turning. Your body has to follow the direction of the bike & can be quite scary if the turn is too curvy. Haha..but overall it was fun.
Testimony continued..
Then on Tues evening, we heard that there was a high possibility of another strike on Friday. That was the day we would be returning back to Singapore, which means we might not get back on that day.

Mixed feelings-on one hand can stay longer for more ministry, on the other wanna get back home to see our loved ones. Haha..well just let God take charge as His ways are higher than ours. True enough, we heard the news the following day that the strike was postponed to later date, so we could go home on Friday.
The whole episode taught me 3 lessons:
- Man may plan the steps, but God directs the way.
- Man may see danger & challenges, but God sees opportunity.
- Man may avail themselves, but God sets the blessings.

Sick
Irritating diarrhoea...yucks!
Kena this while i was in India last week, guess it's because of the water + the daily consumption of curry in EVERY dish at almost EVERY meal.
I thought i would get better after self-medication, but i am wrong.
The diarrhoea didn't stop, so today finally went to see doctor who confirmed that it was due to the food & water. Ok lor, so he sent me back home to rest. I guessed it is better since i will be leaving for camp on this weekend.
"By His stripes, i will be healed."
Do keep Regina in prayers too. We shared the same symptoms!

3 Little Pigs
Heard of the fairy tale "3 Little Pigs"?
Yesterday at the last cell meeting of the year, our fairy tale master Andy shared with us the significant lessons we could learn in this story.
If you forget the story, you may check it out online.
Yesterday at the last cell meeting of the year, our fairy tale master Andy shared with us the significant lessons we could learn in this story.
If you forget the story, you may check it out online.
- When the wolf blew down the STRAW house made by the 1st pig, it ran to the house of the 2nd pig for safety. Ever wonder why did he choose to run to the brother's house instead of any other place? It tells us the IMPORTANT OF FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS, where the pigs chose to identify themselves with their own family in the midst of situations. In other words, when we meet with life issues, our family plays an important role for you to find shelter & safety. Therefore, build strong relationships between parents & siblings.
- After blowing down the STRAW & WOOD houses built by the 1st & 2nd pigs, the wolf failed to brow down the BRICK house made by the 3rd pig. It tells us the IMPORTANCE OF RIGHT FOUNDATION & ENVIRONMENT. When things are established rightly, no matter how strong the wind is, you will not be beaten. Though foundation is crucial, we must also study the environment. Therefore, focus on both foundation & the environment.
- The wolf did not give up, but decided to enter the house by the chimney. It never expected that the 3 little pigs had prepared a pot of hot water & it became their dinner later. It tells us the IMPORTANCE OF WISDOM. Though the wolf was smart & even determined to get its prey, it forgot that the pigs were not stupid at all. They had thought through all strategies for any possible attack & even turned the whole thing to a win-win situation. In life, we face all sorts of attacks, yet we need the wisdom of God to strategise & counteract the situation. Therefore, ask God for wisdom in every situation you are in.
Our next request to the fairy tale master is "Jack & the Beanstalk".
Hope you are blessed :D

Camp
I think i am overdosed by CAMPS & sort of sian oredi..
Not because the camp is not good, but somehow the excitement is not there anymore (i am talking from my personal view). Probably the best is still the spiritual food from the speaker other than that, everything else remains the same.
Going to Malacca again!
This is my 4th trip there just this year alone, so i can say that i am quite familiar with the road direction. Except this time abit different, as i will be travelling there with Grace & the 3 kids. Haha..so going to be fun. Oh i missed the Nonya dumplings that i brought during the last trip. They were really yummy & i make sure i will buy some back for my family. Haha..must ask Bro Anthony for help liao as he is the expert of Malacca. Praise God that our brother can make it for this trip & i pray that he will be able to take the journey.
Good things will happen in the camp. Let's confess it!

Funny
Brought the 2 page boys to CJ & Cheryl's wedding rehearsal.
Haha..then Gaius really made me laugh.
Cheryl's mum, Sis Doris, was there too.
So i asked the 2 boys to greet her. Haha..then Gaius stared blankly at her.
I pushed him to call her again & unwillingly he greeted her.
Later while walking back to the car, that cheeky boy asked me this question that i nearly "fainted". "Godma, how come auntie doris changed face ah? Her face not like that one leh!"
You tell me lah, how can you don't be amused by him right?
Really funny & cheeky fellow.
Truly God knew the best. The accident did not happen to the other 2 siblings but him. Guess it is because He foreknew that this little boy can handle it. True enough, he proved to be a brave boy overcoming the traumatic experience. God is faithful & i believe He will watch over Gaius :D

She is now 93 years old, going on strong.
Granny, you must live to a ripe old age :D

Christ-MAS
Yes yes..Christmas is down the corner!
Wow..another bz time of shopping & merrying BUT i hope we will not forget the real meaning of Christmas. We must keep in mind that CHRIST is the REASON for this season. Though it is also about giving, yet we cannot & should not miss out the important character of our Lord Saviour Jesus Christ.
I was invited to preach at the North East Christmas Celebration at Asansol India. The reason of the early celebration is because the students are from Nagaland, another state of India & most will be returning home after they end this semester of medical school. Haha..i think it was my earliest celebration & i really can sense that kind of excitement. The amazing thing is i was only told about this preaching engagement when i reach there on Friday. So here i was, with no sermon prepared for Christmas, was cracking my brain on what to share. Though it should be a simple & straightforward message to share, i want something different & memorable. So i asked the Holy Spirit for specific words..Haha of cos He is faithful & dropped me the words while i was teaching at the Bible School. Interestingly, the words just formulated one by one & without further hesitation, i quickly wrote them down.
God specifically gave me these:

God specifically gave me these:
- Christmas is all about CHRIST! Preach Him in the first part of the sharing.
- Then share on the alphabet "M". Christmas is the message about the MESSIAH.
- Then move on to the next alphabet "A". Christmas is the message for ALL.
- Finally the last alphabet "S". Christmas is the message of SALVATION.
That's it! It constructed the whole sharing & i just have to fill in the points with Scriptures & testimonies. No matter where you are & how unprepared you may be, the most crucial thing is to run back to the Messiah & He will rescue you!
I am thankful because i know it's the power of the Holy Spirit. "Not by my own might. Not by my own strength but by His power!"
India Mode
I am back :p
But i am still in the India mode..the timing, the food & the daily things that we did over there..The moment i woke up after returning to Singapore at wee hours, i thought i was still in that little cosy room at Ps George's house. Haha..but back to reality..i am now at HOME! On my comfortable bed with my nice pillow & cool aircon. Hmm..wanted to sleep longer. Somehow this body of mine just need 5 hours of sleep & i couldn't sleep anymore. Hopefully tonight i will be flat out & get real good sleep.
The thought of unpacking, sian man!
Haiz..has to wash the clothes but anyway i have a good time in India :D

Back
Back!
Well..you are right..i am blogging at this hour..
With my hair still wet & things to unpack, i guess my mind is still running active that i couldn't sleep even returning home like less than an hour ago. But well..at least i can afford to wake up late tomorrow before heading to a wedding lunch :D
Back also means returning to reality again after those few days of short break.
It is a good trip, not as rushing as the previous one & at least my legs didn't get bristers..haha but eunice did get hers..oops!
Taiwan is a lovely place to travel..lots of things to see, food to eat & stuff is quite cheap.
So for those who tend to go Bangkok frequently, probably can consider Taiwan too.
Erm..will blog some interesting things soon..so stay tuned.
Back also means going to start full swing of preparation for the India missions trip.
And i am going off again :D
Nice nice..i like that!

Beautiful Sunday
It was a glorious morning..
All fresh & ready to preach at the Chinese service..
Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary, pure & holy, tried & true.
With thanksgiving, i'll be a living sanctuary for you.
That was my prayer when i stepped up to the stage..
Walked out from the audi trying to settle as much stuff as possible..because will be flying off to Taiwan in the early afternoon. Just a short trip, so didn't bother to tell many people about it. Haha some of you would say "Wah, so good life ah..thought just went to BJ not long ago? & now another trip?" Erm..to tell you the truth, this trip was not planned at all. Just that we had to clear leave & didn't want to spend one whole week in Spore, so decided to chiong for some places & Taiwan was chosen. By now, you would have known that i love to travel so don't be surprised! Haha..if anyone wants me to recommend any place, i would love to do so. JUST ASK ME K?
Then i was very encouraged when a few of the chinese congregation people came & told me that they had enjoyed the sermon. I give Him all the glory because it is God who anointed the mouthpiece to speak & declare His Word to His people. His Word never goes back to Him in vain & i was indeed blessed to be that mouthpiece.
Haha..so today is a beautiful Sunday. How about yours?
** wrote this blog in the hostel at Taiwan :D
All fresh & ready to preach at the Chinese service..
Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary, pure & holy, tried & true.
With thanksgiving, i'll be a living sanctuary for you.
That was my prayer when i stepped up to the stage..
Walked out from the audi trying to settle as much stuff as possible..because will be flying off to Taiwan in the early afternoon. Just a short trip, so didn't bother to tell many people about it. Haha some of you would say "Wah, so good life ah..thought just went to BJ not long ago? & now another trip?" Erm..to tell you the truth, this trip was not planned at all. Just that we had to clear leave & didn't want to spend one whole week in Spore, so decided to chiong for some places & Taiwan was chosen. By now, you would have known that i love to travel so don't be surprised! Haha..if anyone wants me to recommend any place, i would love to do so. JUST ASK ME K?

Rice
Can i really live without rice?
As i was eating my dinner, this question popped in.
Haha..to be frank i am not sure.
Sometimes i can go without it, but most of the time i can't.
I think the power of rice is upon me, somehow somewhere i will want to eat it in one of my meals. Yet people are eating less nowadays as it is a carbo item. Scare will get fat..Oh well!
My China relatives were amazed by the amount of rice i took during dinner - like 2 spoonful. They were saying "eat what ah? so little." But i just told them i would eat more dishes. Somehow i will still eat that 2 spoonful. Feel weird if i just eat dishes alone, like something is missing. Haha..the conclusion is "I can live without rice for awhile but not too long!"
Tip:
if you cannot live without rice, then i think you almost cannot "survive" in European countries.

Rest
A day of rest is so shiok.
A day of rest is what i need.
Yesterday's events have worn me out that i have to go to bed at 10pm & slept thru today till 11am, but the rest was good.
Thank God for Monday, a day of rest.
Now my house is more quieter after my parents brought the china relatives to Genting for a short holiday. Suddenly i miss my mum's cooking. Haha..for the next few days have to eat out. That makes me appreciate my mum even more. Thanks mum :)
Ok back to rest. I am prone to sleep again.
I wonder if there is anyone who sleep from the night before till the night of the following day, which is like 24 hours kind of sleep?
休息是为了要走更长远的路..very very true statement

Everlasting God
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord..amen & amen!
Thank God for giving me the strength & grace to walk thru today after sleeping at 3am last night. Then this morning has to crawl out of bed & prepare myself to preach at the Eng Svc 1.
Thank God for enabling me to preach His Word including teaching cet later on. Then after the class, still met up a couple for their wedding arrangement.
If it's not His strength, i would have peng san on the spot.
Yes Lord, you are the everlasting God.
You do not faint or grow weary.
You comfort those in need.
TQ so much :D

Took Them By Surprise
Haha..my relatives were SURPRISED when i was MCing during my bro's church wedding & dinner banquet. They kept praising me saying i did very well & was natural about it. Not only that, they commented that i could sing well. Haha..i think i really took them by surprise. I was telling them how would i go around & tell people that i could MC & sing. Moreover, i can't possibly praise myself of the talents that God has placed into my hands. I thank God for giving me the voice to sing & ability to MC in weddings (haha..i think so :D). But i am really thankful that i could bless my bro & sis-in-law in this joyous occasion. Haha..my parents were also taken by surprise, never expecting their daughter can do all these & even told the relatives that i can play guitar. All glory to God!
It was a tiring day.
The night before, i was on bed by 1230am but couldn't sleep till 230am.
Then woke up at 530am & my bro was sleeping away on his big day. Haha..so i became his alarm clock. Then the brothers came one-by-one. Haha..the feeling was different esp if you have been coordinating & attending other people's weddings.
Off they went to fetch the bride while the rest of the relatives reported at my place for the tea ceremony. Finally, the bridal team came back & wow my sis-in-law is so pretty :) that's why people said women are the prettiest on their big day.
Off to church & i was pretty excited as that was the first time my parents & the relatives came to grace the occasion in a church's setting since my cousin's last wedding. Haha..& that was when i took them by surprise by standing in front of them on the stage for the first time. Haha..feel so different but it was cool.
Oh then my two lovely nieces being the flower girls looked so sweet & pretty.
I am thankful the whole thing turned out well & a little surprise when the couple chose the same song to surprise each other. Haha..what a pleasant surprise!
All in all, i have great time in the whole process. At least, i have taken them by surprise & earned myself another round of MC for my cousin's wedding next year. Well, be a blessing & you will be blessed, that is what i believe.
Be a blessing whenever& wnerever you can :D

Don't worry, i didn't 吃蛇. I am on leave for the sake of clearing it. Also thank God that i took leave lah..at least i could bring my china relatives around.
Wanted to get a pair of silver shoes, but somehow didn't see any that i like. I guess i will stick to the gold shoes to match my dress for this sat's wedding dinner.
Wah today the rain was super heavy, but shiok to sleep lah. Hehe..AND I WAS AT HOME LEH! So of cos i went to catch a nap lah..how can miss such chance since i was on leave right? Haha, 不要羡慕哦!
The power nap was good :D

I have coordinated many weddings.
Today, this wedding rehearsal is special because it's my dear bro & future sis-in-law going through it. So kind of feeling different..
Haha..this time round, i am not coordinating but MC. The interesting thing because Gab is unwell, so couldn't come for rehearsal. Then i have to stand in for his position, haha the sight is so funny. They all started laughing & called me "page lady". Haha..but it's fun to walk down the aisle in this manner lah..well just enjoy the walk :D
Hmm..when will be my turn? Hehe...
Well..can't rush but wait.
Don't want to get married for the sake of getting married.
You will agree with me right?
Anyway, i am happy for my bro..congrats :)

Love Was When
When did love begin?
Ever wondered that before?
To me,
Love was when God became a Man.
Whatever it takes, God loves us.
Treasure the First Love..
Remember the Creator in the days of your youth :D

Blessed
I am blessed today :)
On Sunday, during the "Love Your Neighbour" distribution to the community, one cell group reported of praying for this elderly lady, who was touched by our act of blessing. She kept saying that we are very nice. In the past, when we talked to her, she wasn't too friendly (probably more of cautious towards us lah). But the last 2 visits have shown her that we are genuine in blessing the homes. She allowed the cell group to pray for her, which was a breakthrough & a thrilling moment. Praise God for His favour!
Then today, together with auntie doris, we went to her home again trying to establish further contact with her. She was so happy to see us, telling us that she is touched by Christian love compared to her belief. Though she declined to be prayed (guess the main reason is guilt), she welcomes us to visit her again. What a day. I am truly blessed because i know the door is opened & such opportunity cannot be wasted to touch a life.
I am indeed blessed :)
Also blessed as i met up with a young sister, whom i have not spoken to for awhile. It was good to catch up & talk about stuff.
I guess this is what ministry is all about - TOUCHING A LIFE.
I don't want to be a minister that is stuck at the desk, but i want to be one that is touching a life constantly. Jesus went to the crowd & i want to be like that!

Busy
Going to be busy from today till mid of Nov..
Went to the airport to pick the relatives from Hainan Island, as they are coming over to attend my bro's wedding. Come to think of it, we have not met since Mar 2008. How time passes!
Then went to send car for inspection. The process was quite fast, which i must accredit to the efficency of the team.
Then chiong to TCA to return the books. Guess what, i just stuck there to read newspaper & borrow more books.
Finally, i have the time to settle down & do my final touch up of the paper.
God, help me to "slaughter" it asap, so that i can concentrate on my sermon prep.
Oops..off to ironing first for tomorrow's work attire.
A word for my readers: "You are the apple of God's eye :D"

Show a Little Kindness
How do you feel when someone affirmed you in what you have done, which you can't even remember that you ever did that?
This is what happened to me today.
Only one word to describe how i felt: TOUCHED!!
I guess you receive the best gift when you are being affirmed at your least knowledge, at where you never expect or at where you didn't realise that the little act blessed someone. I remembered couple of years ago, there was a campaign "Show a little kindness" encouraging people to be considerate & do a kind deed to someone. The act may not be significant to you, but it means alot to that person.
Do you know that you are an angel in disguise when you show a little kindness?
How about writing a card?
How about making a phone call?
Or how about _____________ (fill in the blank-just do something good)?
Are you an angel in disguise today? Hmm........

Angel in Disguise
I AM STUCK!!!!!!!!!!
Jialat..stuck at writing my paper. Somehow when the mind is stuck, everything else fell apart-unflowing flow of thoughts, cut-&-paste pointers illogically & worst of all, don't even know if i am on the right track. BUT..
I thank God for an angel in disguise, who not only enlightened me in my thought flow, but also widen the understanding & interpretation of my paper..He really helped me alot!
Thanks bro :D
Todae andy shared another fairy tale story at cell meeting again.
It is not Cinderalla again. It is now Snow White's turn.
I am just amazed by his creativity in the sharing by using the fairy tale for daily life application & even can fit spiritual truths inside these stories. Haha..i just have so much fun today at cell. Thanks bro :D
Note:
The angel in disguise & andy are my cell members, so if i have such wonderful members, needless to say about the cell leader right?
Hehe....no lah, they are just fantastic people & i thank God for every one of them.
Somehow they just colour my life. Thanks bros & sis :D
Cell leaders,
Learn to treasure your cell members. Without them , you cannot be the cell leader!

Petrol
Wah..i cannot believe it
The shell petrol sales..the super duper long car queue..the jam-packed traffic..the curse-&-swear angry drivers..
This was what i witnessed when i was travelling down the paya lebar direction towards church..
What amazed me is the patience of drivers willing to queue for their turn to pump cheap petrol.
I cannot deny that the offer was really attractive & it saves more than $20 plus. But i wonder if it was really a worthwhile wait, with the car engine running, time waste in waiting.
Hehe..i actually wanted to pump petrol because the petrol indicator has turned orange, signaling me that it needs "food". I gave up, so went to essos instead. Well, i won't want to wait for that queue while i can do other stuff with that hour of waiting.
Come to think of it, just like car needs petrol to get it going, we also need spiritual petrol for the sustaining in our spiritual walk.
Don't leave home without it!

TGIF
Yappy..TGIF because It's the end of the week :D
I am happy because i can take a breather for awhile, but most imptly is i can catch up with people that i miss..
Haha..TGIF (thank God Its Friends)
Some of you may not feel it, but for me i really sense the importance of friends.
Friends that stick through thick & thin with you is even harder to find. When you have such persons in your life, better treasure them. Haha..thank God i do have such people in my life, that's why i am thankful.
良友-生命中的极品
希望你也拥有这样的极品

Hit, Knock
Thought after packing & clearing those tons of files & papers, i would be at peace..
THEN..
Hit hit knock knock from the neighbour downstairs of the office, i nearly "pulled" my hair out.
The banging can really be a pain & i just cannot concentrate in my work.
WELL..
I shall take my rest...argh!!!
The hitting & knocking start again..haiz

Smile
When you are feeling down, probably the most difficult thing to do is SMILE!
You feel
Sulky
Miserable
Inferior
Lousy
Emo
But actually the Bible teaches us that a merry heart does good like a medicine, so the antidote to feeling down is to cheer yourself up by :D :)
Why not
Sing joyous songs
Make sweet melodies
Identify the issue
Laugh it out loud
Experience God's enriching love?
With Christ in the vessel, my friends, you can SMILE at the storms :D
coooooooooooooooooooooooool

大扫除
Today office is like entering into the battle zone, where the staff was busy shifting office furnitures, throwing away tons of rubbish, cleaning tables & cabinets..
Finally i received the confirmation that i will be sitting at where i have been sitting for the last 2 months. That means i have to clear the remaining stuff at my former place!!
Haha..so there i was, transporting things from here to there, then going in-&-out of the office washing the cloth. DIdn't really get to do my work till 4 plus & then i am heading for home :)
Haha..someone commented that we are in CNY mode, doing 大扫除.
You must come in & see the scene..boxes & stuff line up from ps jean's cubicle to ps jack's cubicle. Le long le long..anyone keen?
p.s. finally i found my room mate for the coming camp :D
Finally i received the confirmation that i will be sitting at where i have been sitting for the last 2 months. That means i have to clear the remaining stuff at my former place!!

回忆
“百万大歌星”，这个台湾综艺节目，你是否有看过吗？
或者是本地类似的节目“我要唱下去”？
每一个季节都有它成名的阶段.
现在是记歌名唱歌似的节目..
几年前，我记得是"Who wants to be a millionaire?" （忘记中文的翻本）..
我在想，同样地，人生的每一个阶段，都有它背后的故事及回忆.
若是好的回忆，何不好好收藏起来？
若是坏的回忆，何不重重把它丢弃？
感触很深，只希望每个回忆都是美好的！
希望你要坚强，把坏的记忆全部挥洒掉，重新开始生命的另一页行程.

Relax
No matter how busy..
No matter how stress..
Must take a break & relaxxxxxxxxx..
Heard this phase before "No relationship, no function!"
If i may put it this way "No relaxation, no life!"
So give yourself a break & have a kit kat.
Cannot "torture" your body for too long as it is the temple of the Holy Spirit.
After a day of relaxation, who knows you may perform better (haha..don't know how true is that?) in whatever you are doing..BUT DON'T OVER-RELAX!!
Ok after a day of relaxation, it's time to start work again!
Argh..my assignment..my gosh!

The End is the New Beginning
The end is not the end of everything.
Whatever show you watch, there is always an end.
Then down the road, at times there are second, third & fourth serials.
To me, the end is the new beginning.
It is not the end unless it's death.
So every ending is the new beginning of new things, so probably we should change our mindset that the end is the end. Why not think that the end of this thing is the beginning of another new thing. Whether it is good or bad, if our attitude remains positive & hopeful, things will turn out well because God is in control. All bad things will come to an end & we will see rainbows in the new beginning.
What makes us different is when we come to an end, there is a new beginning including life after death. How best can it be when we have the living Hope in this life & the eternal Life in the next life. The end is surely not the end. It is a new beginning!!

Countdown
Haha..yes!! Another day down :)
Haha..sound like something not good is going on & i can't wait to be over right?
Well..no lah..it's my block course..one more day to go..
Today's class was abit boring..most of the classmates were quiet as too tired liao!
Bombarded with all those pastoral trends & theories is enough to "kill" us & "make" us sleep. Our lecturer was trying his best to tell jokes (erm..some of them were quite cold), but i must say he is a down-to-earth lecturer, who is friendly & mixes around with his students. He even went lunch with us. How cool is that :)
Talking about countdown, my bro's wedding is coming real soon & I HAVEN'T EVEN BROUGHT ANY DRESS YET!!!!!!!!!!! Really win liao lor..tomorrow die die must go shopping & look see look see for clothes + shoes..

"Longsuffering"
Longsuffering!
10 hours of class with 1 hour of lunch break & 15 mins of break in-between that long 10 hours..
Wow how did i survive? Haha..then it will continue till sat..truly longsuffering!
But thank God the assignment requirement is alright. Only need to submit one research paper in 3500 words. At least, this course is easier as it is practical & applicable to my ministry context. Actually, besides the hours, i quite like the course because i could absorb better, though i must say i nearly "die" when the afternoon killer hour hit at 3.
Ah..my nose gave up on me & streams of "living water" kept falling..
Then next came mr headache, who decided to knock on my brain & made its presence felt..
Yet God's grace is sufficient & i persisted through till the end of the day at 630pm.
Yes..longsuffering hours from 830am to 630pm..
Haha..good way to train up this gift..
Ok i am off to bed as tomorrow is another long day of "longsuffering", but it will really be a looooooong one as i am going to cell group in the night :)
Lord, give me the grace & the strength :D

Amazing
Haha..wanna give a little testimony here..
Sometimes when things don't turn out to what you expect them to happen, you will feel sian, frustrated or murmur & complain.
Remember couple of weeks back when i went to BJ & then our luggages didn't arrive on time due to misconnection of flights? God knew so that we won't have to pull the luggages to locate our accommodation. Then worst of all, no eschalators but flight of steps..so yeah..God worked it out beautifully for us & we are thankful.
Then when we came back to Singapore, we were wondering if can claim insurance for the luggage delay as it must be 6 hours & more. Just nice, the luggages were delayed for 6 hours but we still not sure if can claim as the insurance company might request for a letter from the airline to prove the delay. Well, just submit whatever we have & see how things go lor.
Wow..today i made a phone call to the company & our claim is successful. Yeah!!
The whole luggage delay thing is really amazing..
From the way God made things easier for us till the provision of extra income from the claim..
God is simply amazing & i am really thankful :)

Tuesday :)
Went to Furama Hotel buffet lunch for Ps Chia's birthday celebration..
Erm..the food is so-so lah but it's the fellowship that counts..
Haha..actually pretty contracdicting..on one hand say wanna 减肥, on the other no choice has to eat..buffet leh..go buffet of cos must eat lah..if not heart pain to pay that price & eat little right?
Well anyway i controlled myself so stomach not so bloated like a pregnant woman, but cannot deny that eyes were closing while on the way back to office after the heavy meal..haizzz..
In the evening, after a good time of fellowship dinnering & drinking kopi, one interesting thing happened. I was on bus 133, it was quite full but i managed to get a seat. One young lady sat besides me reading newspaper, then this around 50s lady suddenly went to the young lady & said “小姐，你可以让我坐吗？" Of cos the young lady stood up to give her the seat. Haha..guess what this elderly lady did? She pulled up her pants & kept telling the young lady that her legs are painful & both were bandaged. The thing is the young lady didn't even say anything or show displeasure.
I find it weird why the elderly lady kept explaining herself, probably worrying how other passengers looked at her. I think it would be better if she just sat down & kept her mouth shut, rather than explaining herself & making the young lady look so 难看.
Thank God i was alighting at the next bus stop. Haha..wonder if the young lady took my seat instead? That will be comical man! Sitting right besides her!!

Cry
My tears poured when i saw the bro lying in the ICU room..
My heart sank when i saw his body with tubes all over..
I cried..
Yet cried with silence as don't want to worry the family members..
I don't know what to say to the family, except whispering prayers of strength, comfort & faith upon them. It is definitely not easy..
May light dawn on this family very soon as our bro walks out from this situation in confidence & victory. Let's believe!
It has been awhile since i last cried..
Today, i cried twice..
Besides weeping over the dear bro, when i watched the news on the disastrous aftermath of the typhoon & earthquakes in the nearby countries, i cried again..People just beat their chests when they see the bodies of their loved ones lying in the ruins & waters..how tramatizing can that be?
Calamities come & go, but pain stays & deepens.
As God's people, we have to stand in the gap on behalf of the land to intercede & reach out. We need to cry out in desperation as time is running out.
Do you like to cry? I do because cry is
Comforting
Relaxing
Yearning

Fragility
Life is really a fragility.
One moment you see this person alive, the next he may not be around anymore.
One moment you see this person well & good, the next he may be down with sickness & attack.
The recent development of one dear brother of mine has saddened my heart & impacted me deeply. From a cheerful, helpful & active person, after one attack, becomes a suffering, helpless & listless one. This is life.
When he told me that he called upon the name of Jesus, i believe Jesus is holding & covering him with His arms of love, protection & warmth. No answer as to why all these things happen & there may never be an answer, what's important is my dear bro knows who his Jesus is. He may suffer physically, but he is like the hymn writer who said "It is well with my soul".
My bro, Fight on. Be strong!
My friends, we may not know what will happen tomorrow but we know who holds our tomorrows. Don't take things & people around you for granted because life is really a fragility. Treasure what you have now. Never think you are still young or there is alot of time ahead, the least you expect, you may not have the time at all.
Prayer request:
Please intercede for this dear bro, who is still in hospital & fighting for survival.
There is power in prayer because it changes things!

Another Trip
Haha..just when i just came back from holiday trip to BJ..i will be going off again..
Haha..don't worry. It is not another holiday (where got so much money?).
Haha..yes you are right. I am going for missions trip to India.
This will be my third trip & second one for teaching at the local bible school.
Haha..this time round going to teach on the topic "Modern Cults" & it is my pet subject.
Haha.."cult " leader going to recruit more "cult" members.
Oh where is my faithful subject, Joseph Peh? Till this day, still call me his "cult" leader :)
This time round, 6 of us are going there for teaching & ministry. Will have great fun together. Got to plan for training, equipping & praying as a team.
Do keep us in prayers aka elaine, regina, xue yan, ivy, jason & hwee teck.
We will be leaving on 25/11 9pm taking SQ to Kolkatta, & coming back on the 5/12, 630am to Singapore.

He Never Stops
I salute to the salesman at the NTUC today.
I salute his dedication & passion in promoting the products.
Early in the morning 9am, he started the promotion with his loud & clear microphone.
The noise level travelled up & we could hear the words VERY clearly.
Just imagine..
He kept repeating, repeating, repeating that i could repeat what he is going to say next.
The thing is HE NEVER STOPS!
No need to drink water meh? Or take a break meh? But he simply rattled on & on & on. His energy is so high & at certain times he raised his voice to attract attention. He has confidence in the products & make sure he will sell some, so that he can earn commission.
Haha..ps moses made this comment "哇，他一直讲个不停，如果他可以传福音，那该多好啊！"
Though we cannot tahan the noise level, his commitment, passion & persistence in selling his products are somethings that we should learn in doing the things of God. His heart is in his job.
Many times, we lose out because our heart is not inside.
God does not look at the outward appearances, He looks at the heart.
Where the treasure is, there the heart will be also.
I suppose when we do things with the heart, believe in the God, we can really see results.

Wrong Turn
Went to a funeral wake today.
Saw the road name, then made the left turn.
Lo-&-behold, it is not the road but another side road of the main road.
Aiya, made the turn too quick where it is supposed to be the next immediate left turn.
Bo bian..have to make a big loop trying to avoid the ERP.
Figuring out the best way is to park near to the church, but win liao can't even find a lot.
Amazingly, the HS spoke in my mind asking me to drive straight. I did.
Then i was back to the road again that i was supposed to make the original left turn
There i was, making sure that i made the ultimate correct left turn.
Of cos, i reached the place but after 15 mins of looping around.
Spiritual lessons:

Spiritual lessons:
- Just because you see the road ahead does not mean it is the right one. See carefully else you will make the wrong turn.
- When you see the road sign, follow it else you might turn into the side road that does not lead you to the right place. Watch out for small paths.
- When you make the wrong turn, you will be running in circles which can be a waste of time & effort. When you try to find alternative, it may not be the best. Don't rely too much on your human wisdom.
- But the HS is there to lead you back to the right way & you will ultimately find the right path when you see the sign again. HS will direct us back when we make the wrong turn. Listen to His voice.
Sometimes simple things can happen around us, yet they carry profound spiritual lessons for us to learn. Have a great day tomorrow :)
Night
BJ night scene is pretty cool..i am amazed!
We were caught in their preparation of the coming 60th years National Day celebrations, very nice light up & grand decorations..
To think that i had come to BJ 5 years ago & comparatively it has changed tremendously. Well done!
Except for the air pollution, i find it is a nice place for holidays.
Haha..forgot to mention: got to be prepared to walk alot alot
(clear evidence: my 3 blisters + 1 swollen foot).
But it is worthwhile afterall :D
