~ Christmas is in the air ~

Time flies... its already the 3rd week of December! :D omg... it feels like just yday that i reviewed my 2007 and set my 2008 new year resolutions.  wow.  

December has always been my favourite month. not just because my birthday is in December but also cos Christmas is in Dec! :D i love Christmas. :) it's associated with snow, gifts, reindeers, santa claus and all the yummy cookies, goodies and log cakes. That was my perception until 4 Dec 2002 when i prayed the sinners prayer to receive Christ for the second time in my life.  Since then Christmas had a whole new meaning and purpose! :D  Christmas marks the birth of Christ, our Saviour.  Although he is God, he came in such a humble way for such a great purpose.  :D  This year, our district embarked on a fasting and prayer event from 1 Dec to 24 Dec, i've benefitted much from this fasting and prayer. :)  

Just want to give thanks to God for the friends he have bought to our events :D  thank God that the one day trip to JB was great! We got to know Phylex better and Junyang enjoyed himself on the trip :) I got to talk to Lydia more since she came bk from her Berlin trip as well :) and got to have fun with Cuifen and Candida when we tried to fool around. haha. I pray and trust God that the event we having later will be a great success as well and tat the meaning of Christmas can be communicated effectively!

Some prayers that God answered through this F&P.

My ex-colleague wanted to join my cg for 24th Christmas Service! :D she initiated to come join us as i was about to ask her to join us for service! Praise God.. have been praying that God will continue to keep her close to him. :) trust that God will take care of her and I hope we can grow and serve God together :)

My Dad agreed to go for Mandarin Christmas Service at my Mom's invitation! He said Okay lah, I'll take leave on that day.  Both Mom and I were amazed! I thought he will say that he cannot take leave since its a public holiday eve u know. and PH eve usually lots of ppl go do foot reflex one. God is amazing! 

I must continue to preserve in prayer for them.. :) it pays to be persistent with God! Hallelujah!

= My New Job =

Oh ya, i've changed job. currently working at Bukit Timah. Still doing internal audit, just change company. heh. but every different environment cos commercial the people are much older. (although the people here all look TOO young for their actual age! scary!) hahaha. I find it harder to strike up friendship with some of them since we are in different life stations. There are a few single ladies and only one single guy! hahahaha. cos the whole finance dept on level 4 only got 3 uncles and that single guy joined the Company 1 week after I joined. We always lunch together with my other IA colleague (the one whom i already know before I left my ex-company.) cos the guy prefer to lunch with us - the younger crowd. hohoho.
I'm almost here for one month already however, i'm still adjusting to the work and environment here. Not as relax as i thought it will be. different style of the report writing and audit methods. different timeline. different people working with me. sigh i can only say "I MISS MY EX-COLLEAGUES!" *sobsobz*

I still keep in contact with my ex-colleagues via msn mainly. In addition, had met up with a few of them since i left. They are really busy. Their jobs are like continuous - one after another one. I feel a bit insecure when i am very eng. i fear being useless i guess. plus my probation is 6 months! very long leh... wat if ti dun get confirm even after 6 months?! ya so now u noe the very "off" thoughts that go thru my mind. My only comfort seems to be that its near my house and the pay. But I know that nothing happens by chance and there is a reason why I'm here in this place and not another. I pray that through God's grace i will gradually come to understand and bring Him glory in the things that i do and the work that I produce. :o) Praise be to God!

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 33:3 (NIV)

10-11This is God's Word on the subject: "As soon as Babylon's seventy years are up and not a day before, I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. Jeremiah 33:3 (The Message)

For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. Jeremiah 33:3 (Amplified Bible)

Really thank all my brothers and sisters who chipped in $$ to buy them for me :) one CD can buy one person's lunch leh.. so i really appreciate it. Thank God for Sharon who always remember to help me buy and pass it to me :)

Quote of the Day

I found this quote in a friend's blog:

"LOVE is like an ATM machine, you cannot expect to constantly withdraw money out of it, without depositing any..."

Initially, i agreed with the quote. However, after giving it some thought, I realise that the "love" in this quote only applies to human beings. After living for some 24 years and around 3 months, I have already come to realise that one human being can only love another human being so much. The love between human beings are very much dependent on the actions and emotions that they receive from another human being.

To put it simply, love between human beings are reciprocal in nature. That's why we have to give before we can receive. Of course, there may be times when we give less than we receive. However, such situations may not be sustainable as human beings are incapable of loving another person unconditionally. Hence, often times we are hurt by another human being due to the lack in affection or love despite your giving. Sometimes people even compare the love given by themselves and the love given by the other party. (but really, how to measure? no measuring cup for such purpose leh)

I agree that we definitely need to put in effort in our relationships and friendships with other people. For example, giving others our time, money and sincere hearts.

However, I'm just thankful that God is not like us; glad that no human being is God. I can't imagine God only loves me when I sing praises to Him or when i pray to Him. Haha.. Praise God that he does not look at what we can do for Him or how much we love Him to determine how much He loves and cares for us!!! Indeed man will fail us but God will not! Hallelujah!
I desire to love others with the love that He has given to me and i wish others will be able to one day experience what I am experiencing today!


"Dear God, help me to experience your unconditionally love everyday of my live so that i will be able to live others with the same love. Father, increase my capacity to love and the depth of my love for others. Help me to start with the people closer to me and to be able to gradually expand the circle of love. Thank you Lord, in Jesus name. Amen"
