Happy 24th Birthday!

<-- Photo taken outside no signboard seafood restaurant.. its near the indoor stadium and the food is good.. go try it if you guys can..

I'm truly blessed by the celebration with my Caregroup (the people inside this photo), Donut and Coconut (see photo below) and Jasmine (bottom centre photo). Especially thankful that Jasmine came despite her busy schedule. =) Thanks Jasmine, for the company and the pressie!

It a great joy to have friends and even greater joy to have true friends whom you can rely in bad times and share the lovely moments in your life. Many times i fail as a friend. I took my friends for granted. Missing appointments with them all because i overslept, forgetting their birthdays, never take the initiative to contact them and asking them out (this happens more often with the increased frequency of travelling), letting my tiredness affect the mood of the time we spend together... and the list goes on..

Probably, there will never exist a perfect friend. Of course, except Jesus. However, all of us try to be the best friend we can be to another and that's what makes this life enjoyable. ^^,

Forgive me friends for the times i've let you!!! Hope we will continue to persever in our friendship and make it grow strong in the new year!

suggest that you guys wait for it to load already then play..

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I learned the hard way, to never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cryIn the middle of the night
Over the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you

Another day to praise God!

I will praise God everyday!
Today has been another working day.. not much difference from the day before.. there is gratitude towards God for giving me an opportunity to share some tots and convictions with a friend.. A friend who once was committed to God.. She told me to keep her in prayers! Hooray! praise God that her heart has not harden! I shall pray for her!

Dear God, thank you once again for this wonderful life that you have given me.. Thank you for blessing me with ur presence.. i truly thank you that you are workin through not only my life but also my friend's life. Indeed Lord, we are blessed that you cared for us and that you love us so much that you sent Jesus to die for us..

Father, i can neva express how grateful i am to u.. i can only make this decision to serve u all of my life. Lord, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. In Jesus name. Amen

Praise God!

Heyo ppl! wana share sumtin.. actually today I was felling rather down.. think mood swings (i seem to be getting it often nowadays..probably due to the stress). was so down that i felt like not gg to sub district prayer meet. but in the end i still went and guess wat??! I'm totally amazed by God! the prayer meet was great, praise and worship was ministering..Before the prayer meet started, i prayed to God that i will leave the place with a grateful heart and to be soak in his presence.. Praise the Lord! because he answers prayers! \(^^,)/

God is great.. not only that.. I was totally blessed by the ppl ard me today.. =) First of all was Kelly who gave me a key that she bot in Thailand.. So sweet of her! (^^)

Then was Eileen who prayed for me =) cos i was telling her that i'm very disappointed and sianz.. and true enuff i felt better after the prayer and i guess oso from noeing that i have such a caring friend. Thanks Eileen! *hugz*

Then Shu Hui and Edward this cute "couple" bot me a pOOky bear! (^^D) (refer to the photos above) haha.. i didn't except them to buy me the bear haha.. i was really happy and touched hehe.. Thanks guys! really happy to be in the same job as ur.. hope we can work tog agn.. hope our frenship continue to grow even when we are in different jobs.. (^^)

Just now i received Edward's sms, he told me he opened the present that i bot for him.. its actually a Bible. I bot him one cos he lost his in the hotel in Xiamen and haven got a new one since. He said that the Bible that i gave him is the same as the first Bible he received from Weehan when he was in NTU. However, he gave that Bible to his neighbour after he got his a NKJV bible. Now the Bible is back. I'm so glad God placed Edward in this company. Thank God for a brother in Christ in the company, so that we can look out for each other. There was a time when Edward backslided and he prayed to God when he was in my current company. Not long after that, he was booked on the same job as Jovy and i. Really thank God that we can be together in the same job as we can have fellowship and not hestitate to share spiritually things.

What is even better is that my mom told me that she prayed for my brother to do well in his exam and my brother actually got a bursary from CDAC (should be CDAC ba..). Actually i didnt noe that she prayed.. Thank God for the opportunity! Then i asked her if she believes in God. She hestitates.. she say its not the right time yet.. even though she hasnt decide to make the decide but the day shouldn't be far! Praise God!! He is really worthy to be praised! i really thank God!

My day wasn't so smooth halfway thru the day.. however, God filled me with so many surprises and really touched me by the end of the day.. ('',) God has proven himself so real to me.. how can i ever deny that He exists?? God is my love forever and ever... (^^)

~*Praise God for He is good!*~

Good Advice from Ruth Wang

"no la, i mean she anyhow is your senior, if is regarding the work, you should repect her and just follow the instruction. unless you think she is not reasonable. how can you just blackface bcos your senior is blackface. she has the expectation on you, sometimes bcos of the communication not effective, you may misunderstand her instruction. then just re-do if she is not happy with you work. nothing else, after that you guys still need to support each other. anyway, neither of you should take it personally."

Thank you for the advice =) i really appreciate it..

Crap

great.. now my boss noes that i had a disagreement with my senior and what's more.. he thinks that i don't like my senior.. best lor.. then why did i buy her a CD for? wat is this world coming to? Ppl assumes this and that. People dun trust each other. People cannot relate to each other. People starts hating people. I'm tired of work, tired of life, tired of travelling, tired of feeling so distant to ppl i once noe so well, tired of everytin in my life.. i wan to call it quits.. but how? I dun feel capable of getting another job.. i dun have the money to go europe. i dun even have money to go taiwan. and i spent $700+ in just 3 days. What is this? This is not life to the fullest.. This is crap.

22 Oct -6 - Fun Sunday

Today after service, Guoqiang, Sharon, Hebing, Huanjie and I went to watch a movie, The Departed, @ GV Vivo City..even got a chance to enjoy the movie in GV MAX (bigger cinema).. i saw the gold class seats.. plush seats that can be reclined! will go one day haha...

22 Oct 2006 - Lessons learnt on Sunday

Today during unit prayer meet, Jian Ming gave a very interesting and at the same time well illustrated analogy:
Knowing God is like making tea..
first we boil the water. then we dip the tea bag into the water. now wat happens? water starts to have some colour rite? Now, dip the tea bag a few more times.. wat happens? colour of the liquid turns darker.. leave the tea bag in the water and the tea formed will become more and more saturated..
as we dip ouselves and gradually soak ourselves in the word of God, we will be saturated with the presence of God.. i believe wat Jian Ming said is true and hope that i can practise it faithfully..

Praise God for he is good! God spoke to me agn in the service..when we were singing "How Great Is Our God" it was then that God made me realise how small i have made God become in my heart for the past month... the words, "How Great Is Our God" came out of my mouth, yet i noe in my heart, i've viewed my problems and stress greater than God.. How can I? how unworthy I am to receive God's grace.... but thank God! he is a forgiveing God! He is loving and instead of condemning... I pray that i'll constantly remember that God is greater and all my problems placed together and that God is always in control.. Thank you, Lord.

God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ~ Romans 5:8

Amazing thought, that God in flesh
Would take my place and bear my sin;
That I, a guilty, death-doomed soul,
Eternal life might win.

a moment in zhenjiang to be remembered

Tml i'm flying to suzhou.. yday then reached sg.. not a lot of time to spend here.. =l but i guess i will try to look fwd to every trip.. =) the zhenjian trip is a fruitful one as i have a new fren now.. =) her name is kelly. the two of us are alike in many areas.. and yday we had a v funny and embarassing experience.. haha.. we reached shanghai airport at 1pm. 3 hours b4 our flight. hence we had too much time to spare. and we cant chk in our luggage until 1.50pm. so we went to eat some food wif our luggage first then chk in our luggage and wen to eat kfc. one hr b4 our flight we went thru the customs to our broading area. we tot we still have a lot of time then wen shop ard.. none of us chk our watches.. we were walking when suddenly i heard "huang li yi he yue kelly qing xian zai shang deng ji, ning de ban ji SQ805 zai liang fen zhong hou ji jiang qi fei." we were shocked to hear that and we started walking really fast to the boarding gate. an airport staff in front of us saw and we told her we are the 2 passengers. she immediately walkie-talkie her colleague to say that she has found us and told us to run! argh.. haha.. we started running under her command.. then another airport staff come into our sight and pressure us to run faster! Click...click...click..went the heels of kelly.. pan...pan..pan.. the sound of my sneackers pounding on the floor of Shanghai airport. throughout, the airport staff kept telling us "xiao jie kuai yi dian!!" "fei ji hui yin wei ni men liang ge yan wu de" we were so stress but our stamina as u ould have guess is not very up to it la.. haha.. I was panting like mad by the time i reached the entrance of the plane. we briskly walked down the isle of the aircraft. got to our seats and quickly sat down. bet thousands of eyes would have looked at us as we walked the isle. haha.. then the most stupid tin happend. the pliot announced that due to weather conditions the flight will be delayed for 20 mins. kelly and i looked at each other, both feeling really silly for running all the way and yet the plane is delayed. and we laughed. so funny.. if we tell this to our colleagues bet we'll be their xiao bin (laughing biscuits) for dunno how long. haha... i hope it amuses anyone who reads this too.. =)

Help the breast cancer society!!!!

The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meettheir quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to anunderprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site andclick on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle).

This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use thenumber of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

Shane's water baptism day...

Today the whole caregroup went to Big Splash to support Shane and 84 other water baptisee! :D It was a great event and a memorable time.. :) Hearing the testimonies of 2 of the water baptisee and seeing the faith and commitment of the all brothers and sisters fills my heart with joy! :) The place was filled with sooo many ppl! 85 baptisee! Really joyeous ocassion! =) Reminded me of the time i went for my own water bap hehe.. mine was held at East Coast park.. at the beach.. hehe.. it was fun and exciting.. I rem ppl playing the guitar and many ppl singing Praise as ppl goes into the water to be baptised :)
Why do Christians have to go for water baptism?
Cos we obey wat God commands, its an instruction in the New Testament. Jesus himself baptised b4 he started his ministry.
Water baptism is an outward expression of a inward commitment to God. It a way in which we tell everyone this message: "I love Jesus!"
Yeah~ Till now I never regret gg for water baptism.. Its one of the best days in my life so far.. :)
Praise God for all the ppl who haf expressed their love to Him today! :) Hallelujah~!
