*It's all about Jesus...*

I was brought to mind of this very fact during praise and worship yesterday ~ Whatever that I'm doing.. the very reason is that it should be about Jesus... Was reminded of this again while I was preparing the bible study for lian this morning cuz was brought to this couple of verses .. [Acts 19:11-16]

somehow.. I kept reiterating this point during the bible study... I wonder am I telling myself or her.. [Rom 8:1 ~ There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according the flesh, but according to the Spirit..]

true.. it seems that this thought of " ~~I did not did it right~~.. ~~I did not do what I should have done~~... " kept coming back to haunt me.. [I'd striked it off cuz.. all is erased by blood of Jesus.. ] hmmm perhaps there's stripe of perfectionist in me... sometimes.. I demand a bit too much of myself... hmm we are made of flesh... we will err at times.. don't be too hard on myself ya..

Minister.. we are all minister of Christ.. last nite's sermon was really mindblowing.. to me.. well.. like what Pastor said.. I do have the mindset to serve God = serving Him full time i.e. quit your secular job.. and work fulltime in church..

ministry = service... how true.. just that I'd never seen my work as serving God.. true.. being in the stat board.. ya.. me= semi-civil servant (but I don't enjoy the privileges of a civil servant!) i see my efforts in tax-recovery/education as serving the nation.. not that i'm defending my ricebowl.. people complained about the govt (in particular the organisation I'm working in) being like vacumn machine.. hey .. actually s'pore tax rate ain't that high... and do you think the roads/ well-lit hdb corridors / schools .. etc come dropping from heaven?? and .. I'm not saying this cUz out this cOmes my monthly paycheck.. but.. read Mt 22:19-21 if you are not convinced!
paradigm shift yah??

yay!! We serve God 24-7!!
the 4 levels that a Christian can be in his/her workplace..

Just a Christian
A Christian that applies biblical principles
A Christian that witness to others
A Christian committed to transform the workplace..

hmm which level am I at? Level 2.2 ? Am aiming to move to 4!!

hmmm at the end of the service.. the vision that I saw for myself @ the workplace ... up another step? if not there .. perhaps elsewhere... :)
I also saw beyond the choir stand..
This morning.. while I was preaching aloud the bible study material.. i don't know why but it seems as if I was preaching to an invisible crowd.. with the confidence and pOise that seems to dissipate when the actual audience came on..

and while I was walking towards the mrt station.. I saw something.. my place was used as venue for my own cellgroup! ~ ha.. this mean either my own humble abode.. or if currently at pasir ris, mean that my parents would be very receptive to the Gospel or already saved!! :)

hmm had a good talk with lian this noon... well, seemed to me my discernment quite in tune.. :) well.. talking to her also cleared my swaying thoughts and emotions.. [though she definitely didn't know the emotional turmoil ~ OK i'm exaggerating.. not exactly turmoil~ I was experiencing.. the only faithful receipent of this was my best palie @ down-under.. whom i presumed to be zzz right nOw..]

funny that how people can live in facade... well you may think you know that person well.. it turns out that he/she might only let you in the area of his/her life that he/she wanna show.. why?? protection perhaps? from the past hurts?
learnt some interesting things about someone this afternoon.. wow.. I didn't know that.. or i should say.. it was well-concealed? or maybe I never asked? haha.. that doesn't matter anyway/anymore/ whatever!!

well.. mione is what u see what u get... at least.. I don't live under a facade.. else very tiring..(adverse effect:: u might need to visit IMH) however.. that doesn't mean I go around telling the whole world when I'm feeling down.. [hey common sense ya?] but obviously I have my Comforter/Helper and the human touch would be the saints that God had placed in my life ::rachel/ ivory/long ::

ooo.. the happy thing is that my 'i's ~ i.e. 灵魂之窗 are back to pearlie white! ( not the iris pOrtion ... ) Thanks rachel & Cuiqi for your concern .. and your prayers! :)

and the PINK mania strike! I finally bought my baby PINK espirt cargo pants (the one with the flowerly belt/scraf) @ 50% discount!! [happy that my pant size drOpped by one! ] glad that I didn't buy it earlier.. i won't anyway.. too Ex... and i bought this black jacket @30% and hahaha this PINK tote @ 50% .. I think this is will be my only bUys @ the GSS.. I'd spent tooooo much on my crown of glOry... [but it's wOrth it though.. making me :) ]

*cleared... i chopped off the tree!!*

I think I prefer plant... than a tree... I thought I know what I want... but it seems conflicting... haha... seemed to me that the preference 2 years ago still stand...

what am i talking about?? this is it...

nope.. I'm not starting a strawberry plantation..
(neither did I plant own any tree .. hey I'm staying in a HDB flat.. how can i plant a tree! )

hmmm how did i came to this conclusion.. I should say.. after the bible study with lian today... cuz was talking to her before bible study.. hahaha suddenly all came to light...

hmmm perhaps what I saw on Aug 2003 was not a figment of my imagination...

hmm whatever will be.. will be... :)

[ rachel would definitely understand what i was trying to say... ] hahha.. had a fun time teasing her on "grocerygUy" &" ww" .. heehee ..

*conjunctivitis~ my eyes went miffy red again...*

hmmm I seems to be a frequent victim of this symptom of red eyes... Conjunctivitis... :(

It was getting better, hence stop medication on tUesday.. BUT it came back on WEd! sorta got better.. but.. my right eye became teary and red after cg.. it's better now... but still have some strains of red.. If you're reading this.. pray for me ya.. thanks!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~

What is conjunctivitis?
Conjunctivitis is the medical term that describes an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin membrane that covers the white of your eyes (sclera). This membrane produces mucus to coat and lubricate the surface of the eye. When the conjunctiva becomes irritated, the blood vessels enlarge making the eye appear red in color.

The three common types of conjunctivitis are: viral, allergic and bacterial.
[source:http://www.doh.gov.ph/faqs_sore_eyes.htm]

~~~~~~~~~~~

I conclude my conjunctivitis is bacterial type..
gee.. being a civil-minded person.. i should actually stay at home.. hmm the to-dos sounded like being quarantined!

hmm..can't wear eye make-up till problem resolved? I'm serving later.. Gotta pray for healing... kept getting this eye problem.. Perhaps should pay a visit to TTSH again?? I've got an open appointment till end of this year.. yup.. a couple of months ago.. I've got this speck thingy on my left eye... Thank God it was not a major thingy.. Doctor prescribed an ointment to apply to the eye... [trust me.. it's rather gruesome!!]

~~~~~~~

kinda hUngry now.. but don't feel like eating.. hmmm haven't been eating much lately.. the coughing took away my appetite.. [yay.. the scales read 0.5 lower!!]
gOt offwork @ 4pm today .. cuz an hour time off given for us to have dinner with family.. it's family week next week.. despite not having dinner with my natural family.. was supposed to fellowship with my spiritual family ~ my cellgroup b4 cgm at 8pm.. hence went to raffles cali for a workout before heading off to Outram.. but chain of events cut short my workout @ cali ~ [only ran for 30min.. burned 350kcal.. wanted to do the weights but.. no time..] ~ see no name!!
decided to skip dinner.. cuz .. I don't feel like eating (only 350 kcal expended) and no appetite anyway..

sorry that I was late by 20min... would try to be on time.. I under-estimate the journey...

~~~~~~~

yay! another choir member in my cellgroup.. Lincoln.. hmmm now there are 5 brothers and 1 sister (yours truly) in the choir ministry in w110!! Awesome!!

~~~~~~~

Gee.. exciting times ahead.. brother Ryan was sharing abt the plans for the cellgroup... while waiting @ the void deck... yup.. miOne..time to walk the talk...

~~~~~~~

let me rest my eyes... I'm off to sleep

p.s. maybe i shall wake up @ 7am to go to the beach... eh.. 8am is good.. :)

*the cloudy day*

have you ever glaze out of the window of a moving object (say a train, car, bus) and found your eyes totally glued to the moving scenary on the other side of the window?

if you happened to see this young lass with her eyes glued to whatever that was outside, she's not a SUA*KU [translate :: mountain tortoise] on her first trip on board the mrt. Neither is she a tourist that stepped foot on Singapore land less than 5 minutes ago...

Guess what I was looking at ? Nope.. not the architectural stuff (though I love to look at the buildings/shophouses whenever I took bus when I was young... I loved shophouses especially... some of the designs were rather intrique... hmm the private housings around my workplace.. Bukit Timah... rather interesting too.... had this dream when i was young to self-design my dream home... sad to say... i did not pursue the course of study cuz of practical reasons... hmmm you'll never know what may happen in the future though....)

Oh, I was actually looking at the clouds... sTrange ya? you may think what's the big deal with clouds... yes, we were taught that cloulds were made up of water vapour .. rain clouds are dark cuz the water vapour attract dust..

hmmm I love clouds.. gave me this heavenly feeling.. like an fluffy mattress... the comfy feeling... :)

anyway.. i was just merely admiring the beautiful landscape outside.. Strangely, the clouds seemed soo close.. like a metres within our reach.. and the clouds were like following the moving train.. reminded of the cloud that follows the children of Israel throughout their 40 years of wilderness as their shield of protection...

somehow.. I was just struck in awe at the huge clouds in the background that seems sooo near to touch... I wanna be like Moses , who entered into the clouds and not just looking at it...

Encounter with God is in the cloud...

Gee.. as I blogged... I realised that this was what Pastor Phil Pringe was speaking during the 1st nite of the Conference.. one of my greatest desire is to dwell in His Presence.. and especially recently... i just want more and more of His Tangible Being... but what Holy Spirit has just reminded me is ~ stop looking at the clouds, have the courage and boldness to enter!

Therefore, brethren, having blodness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus ~ Heb 10:19 ~
~~~~~~~~~
hmmm was truly blessed tonite cuz long was sharing with me something that Pastor shared during the zone meeting.. as well as some other stuff that's well.. I'm dealing with... sorry to hold you up... really appreciate that..

in case u wonder what's the deal with my msn nick.. yay! I'm watching Madagascar with ivOry next monday.. was having this msn chat with her.. hmm hopefully claire, ming & long can jOin us as well...

hmm have applied 3 days leave for the emerge.. hope it'll be approved... :)

okie.. I'm going offline sOOn... my eyes need the rest they can.. they need the healing ~ complete healing fast...

and my box of euphon is diminishing... but really it's effective!!though kinda pricey..

okies... time to go into the cloud!

[hey that doesn't mean I'm depressed ok ... just in zonked out zone.. and nothing seems to get in...] not that easy to smile.. and make conversation with mom cuz went dinner with her... think I'm a rather convincing actor..

*the five languages of love*

i distinctively remembered this being preached in one of the services [something abt filling the love tank] but despite combing thru my 11 notebOOks that have accumalated in approx 4 years.. i just can't seem to locate that sermon ~ it's late .. and I'm tired.. but being the rather stubborn person... I refused to give up... but.. still can't find.. [oh, the reason for this search was due to my inability to answer the qn brought up in my msn chat with terence.. ] being the curious one... I refused to give up... hence i search the web..

here are the five love languages ::
1. Words of Affirmation
2. Receiving Gifts
3. Quality Time
4. Acts of Service
5. Physical Touch

wellwell.. personally, mine would more be of (1) & (3) .. though the rest works equally well... hmmm wonder why did i spelt it out anyway..

Interesting.. What am I attracted to?
I'm attracted to colours-bright/ pastel, intrique designs, quirky stuff, kawaii stuff, music... and.. hmmm... shhh
well u can say I'm transparent yet opaque...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
terence .. you owe me one hour of sleep (for that "research") there goes my beauty sleep... nope..actually much mOre.. cuz my intended bedtime was 1am..

yikes.. i can't swallow.. throat inflammed bad time..can't see doc cuz I've a tight week ahead.... must get the 'exlir' from guardian.. Cuiqi.. thanks 4 giving me the brand!! :)

*I wOnder.. i wonder...*

Despite of the msn conversation I'd with Rach... I can't help it but that is still on my mind... I know I may sound real cheapo but another 5 minutes is better than nothing... [i repent.. I told a white lie to endulge in that!] I'm trying my best not to think of too much of it.. but.. it's really distracting... No clear path.. but I prayed that if God doesn't want it to be this way... let me stop thinking.. and not hog my mind..

I think I'm going kinda nutsy over this.. it's all hidden inside.. but somehow.. i wonder if you have sense it.. really.. well ..for example.. a change in attitude.. Gee..

WAnted to change my background music to a song that reflects my current feelings... but I like this song tOO much... well..I've reload the song ~ terence commented that the sound quality rather low.. so ya.. me change the bit rate .. and looped the song instead... :)
~~~~~~~~~~
Return of the Sith..
hmm caught the show with some of my cellgroup members today.. wonder why the sisters in my cg not interested in this? well, to me.. am personally not a star wars fanatic.. but I really enjoyed the show.. fave character :: R2D2 & the small but mighty yoda!

while watching the show.. ( whereby story was developing how Anakin turned to the dark forces... ) this came to mind :: have patience in whatever you are doing.. it may seems as if what you're doing is not leading you to your dream.. don't try to help God, His timing is the best timing... don't be distracted and swayed by the words of the devil. The grass may seems greener on the other side but stay true to the calling.. don't be deceived..

~~~~~~~~~~~
during lunch.. they mentioned about the 60% thingy.. actually I admired the courage of mr 60% to admit that he has a target.. hey.. he's of age.. not surprising that he's actively looking.. though if the 60% is 100%.. I would say.. he has lotsa to do....

hmmm food for thought..
Why must it be a prerequiste that the gal must know how to cook?? despite the guy not knowing how to~ is it a man thing? hmm if so, won't a maid do just fine??
well, not that I don't know how to.. in fact.. I do like to create dishes.. but washing up is another story.. well.. I won't mind cooking for him.. but then again.. cuz it's a pleasure to cook for your loved ones.

Yikes... there i go again... hmmm...

hmmm..

I think there's something wrong with my tastebud... I think it's due to the various medication that I'm on... for my irritating flu/cough... horrendous mucous causing havoc.. why can't it vanish from my system once and for all?? Now my throat is inflammed due to the coughing (which is the feeble attempt to dislodge the sticky gooey stuff from my airways...) cuz it's getting painful to execute the swallowing action..

I wonder should I stay at home.. or head out tmw.. can't .. cuz the tickets are with me...

Why is this blog titled mixed mixed mixed?
becaUse.. because.. because....

*Pencil Straight*

hmmm I think whenever the world is upside down for sweetie.. she tends to inject to Singapore's Economy, in turn helping the GDP as well as the CPI.. [hmm yay.. I still remember my econs.. and it's thru's God grace that I got my miraculous sharp pointy grade for A lvl econs.. the 1st and last i achieved for that subject in my two years of study!]

My eyes were miffy-red [translate: PINK] when I woke up.. Novis mentioned.. "ai yo. why your eyes redred still come to work?" Cuz I was trying to finish ms EA case.. [read earlier entry for the explanation why i ended up boosting the economy]..

at 3pm.. I took 2 hours time off and went to the healthway @ Novena Sq.. turned out that I've conjunctivitis - eye infection.. and.. ya..my cough.. the phelgm is thickening.. Yikes.. got the yikey gooey medicated gel for my pinky eyes.. and more pills for my cough.. whooping sum of $50. I hope my eyes will be ok to attend wendy's wedding later (:

as you know, i colored my hair on monday.. and I love the straight locks after the clippings.. I went with the intention to do my treatment ~ foc cuz me bought the package.. but learning from may (the boss) that the new straightening.. called SOFT STRAIGHT .. will be alright to tame my colored tassle.. going rather untamed.. Can u imagine that everyone thot I permed my hair when I went back to work on Wed? heehe.. so.. I decided to do it.. but.. it's rather pricey... I hope my $230 will last.. (supposedly to last for 7-8 mths..) but got a free hair trim.. Can't imagine that I'd spent close to $400 (gasp!) on my crown of glory this week!! I will live by air and air alone when i'm not at home... cuz i still wanna go aussie in aug.. and our new building..

I love my new look.. ha, it's straight!! so POsh!

met Aifeng & Jayce afterward..and I got my R2D2 BK toy.. so cUte.. -incidentally.. am going to watch it with some of the brOs in my cg.. [ya. I'm the only sweet thing in skirt from my cg.. O... yay.. jacelyn going.. Thank God.. ] and I bought.. 4 pairs of earrings.. I love the pair from Artris.. Shall wear it to WEndy's wedding.. and another 3 pairs.. Found this earrings place @ level 3 of far east.. 3 pairs for $12.. and also the 3 for $9.90 one nearby (this must be the shop that Suzhen's talking abt!)

the absolute confession of a shopaholic. should go buy the shopaholic series.. Ivory said was funny.. (:

Lian.. btw.. glad that you took my "harsh" words positively.. I know that God has greater plans for you! Waiting for mightly move of GOd in NTU! You can do it.. and.. remember ya.. the pOinty grades!

ok.. it's close to 4am.. I need the bed.. :)

*Your Attitude determines your Altitude!*

well.. truly.. I experienced what this phrase mean ~ "Your attitude determines your altitude". well, as some of you might know.. wef 1 Feb 2005, my job scope altered from that of a reporting officer to that of an work approving officer (but.. my mthly takings remain constant while capacity must increase and work responsiblity as well..) Am into this post for 3.5 months now.. and seriously... I can see why some of my fellow co workers remain where they are.. and why some soar higher than their peers... It's their attitude..

well.. in my act of desperation of reviewing Ms EW's audit recommendation . I ended up re-doing her wOrk.. and did the things she ought to do ~ such as computation/ referencing/ indexing. Took me 1.5 days!!Not that I wanna do everything myself... but gal.. where's the case I pass back to you Three weeks ago?? (if I return the case to you, would i see what's to be done??) You lament that you have a lot of corres to reply.. why do i always see u fluttering around & lingering.. and complaining abt our boss giving you too much work and you always end up clearing the mess..[ok, you use the s- word] (hey she's our boss.. not just mine.. gal... we read the same Bible.. respect the authority that God has placed over you, k? me inculded! also.. principle of sowing and reaping.. on the mess thingy]
well, why is $$ credited into your bank account on the 12th every month? for nothing?? I'm not putting you down.. but I'm sure you have yet maximised the potential that GOd has placed in you.. and gal.. GOd can't put new wine into old wineskin.. I know your past TLs all have wealth of experience.. and I respect the fact that you'd been there longer than me.. BUT.. differnent people have different style.. but the end product is there :: to resolve the outstanding issue, and ya.. protect the revenue yet not be bias to the tp..

TO M.s E.A , who incidentially thinks that I'm trying to close the cases to hit the target.. cuz I sorta pour out my woes this morning abt M.s E.W's not up to standard recommendation and quality of audit work.. and to check with her some procedures that I'm not that sure of.. the first thing I did was a big error.. cuz Ms EA and Ms EW are rather chummy..so naturally defensive of her buddy.. well..hence.. we had this little disagreement this afternoon:: cuz was sorta discussing with her how to resolve (btw she's also one of my reporting officer to be....)

Ms EA: well, this case not urgent right.

sweetie:: well, I've finished the RR WI, and she (ms EW) had passed me this case for quite sometime.. Anyway, I can't simply put it aside and sit on it just because it's challenging right?

Ms EA: well, anyway, you're just trying to put it down to record to strike off one backlog case right? [translate:: you're just trying to push and acheive the target right?]

sweetie:: well, I'm suppose to clear the backlog and I can't just sit on it just 'cuz I don't know how to do it.. I'm paid to do this ma.. Anyway, thanks for your time.. I will discuss with M when she's back...
at this moment.. sweetie decided to pay a visit to the pantry.. Thank God for that.. heehee.. I went to Aifeng's and managed to brighten her day.. though I started by pouring out my grievances to her.. [in general terms] turned out she also faced the same problem.. well in short ~over- familarity. Indeed, it's not that easy to be colleagues and best of friends...

Conflict arises when opinions differs and ya.. may hurt the relationship.. flesh mUst yield.. Love your neighbours as yourself.. Love is the greatest thing of all..

Ms EA, I don't agree with you but I understand how you feel. at micro-level: [the world of I. Myself and I] ,the ulitmate frastration of ~ why are you treating me as a production worker.. why must you set the unrealistic target/goal.. if the target is easy attainable.. why set it in the first place? The target is to motivate us to know where we are and how can we try to get there. And, the management don't sit across you.. one of the measure of your capability is whether you can attain that goal.. ~ note if u guys need to clear 5 workitems a day.. that would translate that I have to review 20 cases a day right? [ by handling sloppy work.. won't ur efforts be duplicated cuz I need to scan thru' every single thing you do...??]

Being a leader for 3.5 months (and counting...) has NOT been easy for me..

people quote and misquote you. [you can't say the wrong things.]
people expect you to have the answer {all the time}. If you don't, you are expected to find out.
people expect you to be more understanding/ less demanding
You gotta learn to balance respect and authority when dealing with officers more senior to you but has to report to you.
people expect you to be perfect (no man is perfect!)
Your boss expect results from your people when your people don't move.
You gotta learn to motivate them even when you aren't at your best moment.
You have to smile... at all times.. taking the humble pie even when you're not at fault.

well.. it seems I'm very passionate about my job.. NOpe..not really.. but I do the things I ought to do with Spirit of Excellence... but time and time again... I was reminded that I'm there for a reason.. and I know that until that purpose is attained.. I will be there... Like I said to Eric, my ex-boss when he asked me what do i foresee myself in 3 years time.. I said not that sure... and when he asked, how abt leading a team? seriously, I thought to myself.. I would leave when that day comes.. ~ Escapism.. In the end..I did not ran away and accept the challenge.. and ya.. am learning day by day.. This is a training ground for me ya? To prepare me for His greater works... I'm excited!! Amen!

A special thanks to all my TLs there, especially Eric & Sharon.. thanks for mentoring me and your patience towards me.. I understand how u must have felt.. when I still don't get it when I should.. (:

p.s. this pOst seems so serious.. yUp.. a side of me seldom seen.. :)

*I can't believe it....*

I'd experienced an electric tingle... is that my imagination or... really so.. hmmm tink rachel would know what I'm talking.. (hey why u left halfway thru' our msn chat?? Ganbatte @ ur assignments.. miss ya gal.. )

hmmm cell group message was yet another wORd in season for me.. Heard this message before.. but I received new revelation from this message.. well.. even before ministry time.. Holy Spirit brought to remembrance this verse that claire or sister claire had spoke to me last year (@ one of my lOwest lowest time.. when I was on kinda ministry break) Heb 6:15 ~ And so, after he patiently endured, he obtained the promise. well.. I may not be able to see it coming to pass but I know that's what He wants me to do.. and ya.. stepped out in faith.. I will obtain the prOmise... Am already doing that one thing that I need to do.. cOurage.. the second thing.. was to see the was-dead-but-now-reserrected-dream alive again... cUz am not doing it alone.. but with God!

Is 43:1~21" .... I have called you by your name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the fire scorch you...Fear not, for I am with you..."You are my witnesses;" says the Lord, "And My servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe in Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, nor shall there be after Me... "Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert... This people I have formed for Myself; they shall declare My praise."

this really encouraged me.. meditating on it.... and yes.. will continue to patiently endured...

hey.. do i really look yOunger in this hairstyle.. hee.. think i should keep my fringe.. one of my colleague even commented that I look like a dOll!!

Okie.. I'm tired... sleeping...

*the drip that no tap can turn and stop...(and another story)*

yikes.. my nose... it's dripping again... literally dripping....

why???

I hate the feeling when the muscous slideback to the throat..
I hate the stuck feeling in my nose...
I hate it cuz it make my throat dry and very irritable...

like what I told banana... seems that the noses of many people are very active recently... many have runny nose... [lame joke] hahaha.. self*entertaining...

~~~~~~~~~~~

ooo... something praise worthy.. my bro..(the real one) finally found a guarantor for his NIE bond.. ( he was like this fanatic spider when he found out that his friend couldn't be his guarantor cuz he is acting as the guarantor for his sister's nursing bond yesterday {tues}... he was dued to sign the contract thingy this sat..)

Well.. I tried to encourage him via the Word of God.. well.. it ain't easy... his heart sorta harden cuz of his cgl @ fcbc.. well.. fcbc is a great church.. tien's there.. she's growing strong.. happy to know that... well... he has this thing against the Chrismatistic churches.. well.. still remember how he had told me off when I was only say.. a one year old baby... that.. you're still in your honeymoon year... (i was asking him to pray for parents' salvation...) well.. guess what.. I'm gonna be 4 years old soon (in aug)..(hahha.. doesn't seem that shOrt right??) and still going strong... closer than before.... the honeymoon just got better... it never ends!! well.. little does he knows how involved I'm.. (that will be the term he would use.. involved..) well. I guessed he would be so skeptical. I wonder what his reaction would be when he reads my blog.. (nOpe.. he doesnt know that I blog..) kekke.. eyes rolling...

Anyway, he wasn't like a very good testimony to my mom as a christian.. he's showing the signs of bo*chupness.. the impatientness.. the thoughtless ...dun want to elaborate further.. (u can be polluted by the worldly entertainment scene.. ya.. he's into this chinese entertainment thingy.. whereby he writes media stuff.. and lotsa freebies.. previews.. ) that is not very sensible.. well.. sometimes.. I feel as if I'm the elder child instead.. yikes... well.. this is the wisdom of God.. I guess that's why mom actually sorta relented.. and acceptd the fact the I will be involved for church stuff at least 3days a week.. cuz she saw the Christ in me.. PTL ... just that she would still be concerned if I return home late.. like after 12am++

ok.. digress.. anyway.. gave the idea that to ask someone else.. like mom's friends..or ex-neighbours.. (btw lost contact with most relatives.. long story...think only rach knows..o.. and bro wai too but ha.. he won't be reading this!!) he's like this super*negative.. that.. he give up.. man... the devil was attacking him... but praise God.. the prayer of the righteous (me) avail much... mom got him a guarantor.. her good o' time colleague.. and ya.. there's gonna be a teacher in my family...

God is good all the time.. all the time, God is good..

*a chain of random thots..*

Domesticated..
I think I'm beginning to enjoy things that a homemaker would like.. hmm.. after my trip to dentist yesterday, [yay.. my pearlie whites are doing fine!] made some banana walnut muffins [alright, I admit that I made them from the ready-mix pack!] (and hmm it received not bad response from family & colleagues..) then I whipped up my famous pasta.. [ or what my mom calls it.. think my family loves my spaghetti.. (:] and I must have been influenced by rach.. I actually beginning to enjoy pushing the trolley down the isle in ntuc.. whOOps.. hmmm… that's sweetie's experience of being a homemaker for a day.. [ suddenly recalled the msn chat with ivOry on our “ambition” of being a tai-tai !]

Sweet is sweet
Heehee.. I think my fringe made me look different and very sweetie.. :) heeheee.. that’s what a couple of my colleagues commented.. very sweet.. heehee.. btw. I think this hairstyle made me look even younger.. but then again.. the youthful look is dUe to the prolonged use of Hallelujah cream (i.e. serving God.. I look younger when i first stepped into CHC!!) [hmm remember this term from Irene.. hmm haven't seen her for long.. read her blog.. welllwell.. putting the pieces together.. can sorta guess what had happened.. missed her.. perhaps can drop her a msg??] maybe cuz today I am super-pinky.. wore this pink knit top/ pastel flowery skirt.. and my new hairdo.. see.. what u claimed to be, you will be.. :)

My thought life
Something had been occupying my thought life other than the word of God.. that's like.. eh.. I wonder why.. well, things that matter to you, it will naturally be on your mind..

Endless bickering... charmed by your passion towards God and His people. Nonchalant to you at times as I had enough of that teasing you piled upon me. Encouraged by your words, rest assured that I would walk out of that dark alley. Euphoric.. The feeling I get when I see you.

A poem.. Or is it a masquerade?? hmmmm another parable? I've discarded the fruit basket .. there's only one fruit left.. and it's still not ripe for harvesting.. have grown tired of the basket.. I guess it's time.. yup..

*a day of indulgence*

hmm the day didn't really start off that well..with the rain .. I saw two blue mountains (translate:: 2 stacks of files awaiting me to go through.. cuz was not in office last thurs and fri) and to hear that one of our co-worker has sorta complained to the M that our occassional shOrt chatter has affected her productivity (when she can have a coffee break with M and chatting rather conspiciously.. our office adopt the OPEN concept.. )

well.. as titled.. a day of indulgence.. During lunchbreak, made a trip down to Orchard to pay some bills.. feeling kinda :( and I need eyeshadow.. a long lasting one.. and Tangs having the 12% rebate thingy.. so .. the little shopperholic sweetie pampered herself with some stila products.. hmm had fell in love with STILA since the lip glaze that I purchased.. bright enough for the stage.. and I don't like lipstick.. and I got a free handphone strap. it's so.. sweet... [actually my intention was to get only an eyecolor, being attracted to sweetie PINK freebie.. I got eye shimmer and a 9ml frangrance ~ jade blossom.. (so girl rite??) to be entilted to it.. ]

well.. after lunch..I look at my sad looking, dried tassle..(regrowth... need touching up...) and decided to do something to it.. hmmm was initially rather disappointed that Jeanie, my stylist , was on 2 month leave.. hmm but couldn't stand the sad limpy mOp.. so.. I went there anyway.. and actually I'm rather :) with the outcome.. (i should be... it cost me a couple of days' pay) Thanks yo-yo (ha, interesting name right??) for transforming the mess into beautiful sleek hair.. hmm was very tempted to straighten my tassle after the temp-clamping that he did.. but .. I've spent enough for the month... Here' s sweetie after the hair indulgence::

sleek hair!! Guess where I took this? In the changing room of Tangs @ level 2 .. It's really luxurious.. felt so pampered..

turned out that Jeanie was on her long break cuz she just married.. on her honeymoon.... and she just met this guy not long ago!! Congrats jeanie.. (ha.. though u won't be reading this.. nevertheless..) rather surprised cuz she's only 24! hmm wedding.. yay.. attending sister wendy this weekend.. hmm wat to wear? hmmm... set me thinking something else .. [nopenope.. shall not do that... ]

after a day of indulgence.. reality sank... I think I will have to fast.. for many days to come... but :)

yay.. on leave later... cuz goIng for my dental appOintment.. at a weird slot of 1130.. hence taking a whole day leave...

*The morning that rained...*

Rain.. How you look at it depends on how you are feeling that day..

Rain.. makes me sleepy.. what an indulgence to cuddle up in your bed and snooze the day away with the sounds of rain drops pattering..

Rain.. I used to love walking in the rain.. very typical of the melancholic mione.. ha.. the pity party days.. as if I’m some kind of psycho enjoying inflicting pain on myself.. [the days of wilderness]. Learnt my lesson.. To be caught in the rain without a brolly is utterly silly. Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Gotta take good care of it.

Rain.. love it cuz it means that there is a possibility of the sighting of rainbow! I love rainbow.. :)

Rain.. I was caught in the rain.. I thought that the rain had stopped when I stepped out of the house this morning.. However, a thought tugged in me to bring a brolly. I took a look outside and decided.. nope.. rain has stopped. Little do I know that the light drizzle became heavier every step I take. Thank God that it poured only when I reached the busstop. Guess what, the rain stopped when I reached the next bus stop! The sun was emerging from the dark clouds.. God is good.. Felt so loved that the rain stopped cuz of my short prayer on the bus [cuz I took 89.. would be drenched if it was still pouring as I need to walk from the busstop to Whitesands]. The privilege to be child of God. We might be facing difficulties, we might miss a turn and went on the more tortuous path but God will always show up in midst of our storms to guide and lead us back to the correct way. No problem is greater than God. Amen!!

*venting of ...*

hmmm it's human nature to chat among your closely knitted friends and... ignore the unfamilar face.. or maybe just a smile at best and get on with your chatter...

I understand that you (collectively) are still flesh and blood despite of your position... but the unfamilar face would feel instantly intruding into this friendly gathering.. and after hovering around for a few minutes with no change in this awkward feeling.. unfamilar face would definitely regret the decision to join instead of heading elsewhere... wonder what's your feeling when unfamiliar face depart? Sense of relief that you can talk shop? Btw, unfamilar face has eyes too... to see that you have shut the laptop hurriedly cuz you have detected the presence of the intruding unfamilar face?? Aren't you surprise why unfamilar face depart not soon after when you (collectively) arrive again?? Perhaps not... given this wonderful enriching experience, unfamilar face would ponder for looong whether to agree to joining in again... Or maybe it's due to the fact that unfamiliar face is not that unfamiliar? If unfamiliar is new instead of unfamiliar, perhaps the treatment would be different?? I think so... Sad thought huh???

*a day that I went thru' not by my own strength...*

hmmm slept for at most 2.5 hours when I was awaken by my phone alarm.. [ya, spent a couple of hours msn-ing to Cuiqi... then she byebyed on me... then continued msn-ing with Terence.. which I really appreciate his sacrifice of his sleeping hours to chat with me and ooo thanks for the ride home else I will contribute to cab's uncle fund which i don't want to... felt bad to deprive u from sleep]

made a mad rush for the 1st E1 bus @ 735.. PTL i managed to board the bus but... turned out that the rest wOuld be late... [hmmm this further add meat to the statement "the furthest would be earliest, and the nearest the latest"...
Ops.. come to think of it.. I was kinda late queen (did quite a no of CS.. i.e Community Service AKA free labour to clean school compound... when I was in JC..~ hey it's all the way in Bukit Timah while I stay in Bedok then...~ favourite reason for being late :: traffic jam ~ cuz they were building the flyover thingy @ serene centre area.. I think... actual reason... I left home just on time.. or not early.. Since then, I've repented of ill-punctuality... I've tried to be on time... especially for big days.. pARdon me if I'm late... I don't like to keep people waiting, but waiting produces patience..so i waited..with :)

turned out that I attended all three services ...yAy!!{cuz bro ryan cancelled the meeting @ 2pm} sat with ivOry and lian. Wow.. haven't attend serice with vory for a long time... seems like seldom cuz she usually ushering when we are in the same cg...

managed to re-q and squeezed back to the main hall.. the amazing thing was that with half a bar of museli bar.. I found the strength and energy to bounce like an energizer bunny.. (but it's not hype.. it's true joy.. and liberation... feeling of freeeeee... well there's a reason for everything that happened... well.. it was kinda a deja vu cuz the message for service 4&5 combined was part of the msn conversation I'd with Terence last nite... hmm... new air breathed in.. watch this space for "renewed sweetie" ~ hmm.. am not a product.. Anyway... If you don't understand, never mind...

am gonna be on tight budget now (I know not for long)... cuz I've attend 8/9 of this weekend conference/services but yay.. when u offer an offering that have post-syndrome.. It's good..cuz not in the comfort zone... YAY.. (in case you don't comprehend.. ask .. I'll be happy to elaborate...)

*Soldier for Christ...*

Hmmm.. Just reached home not long ago.. Service ended ard 1030.. It was phenomenal.. hmm.... God's presence at service 3 was very different from service 2.. Pastor Phil spoke on being a soldier for christ.. What struck me was ~ Courage.. Be bold.. step out.. Put on the armour of Christ... The full amour... I learnt that in bible study.. did I apply it... Sad to say.. hermione was not fully equipped at times of war fare.. devil struck me when I was not awake... and ya.. was taken into by his lies that I was inadequate, not good enough... failure.. when I failed to acheive certain things..

Pastor Phil laid hands on the muscians, singers and the choir ministry.. Hmm I can't say that I've a fresh vision.. more like renewal of mind... encouragement.. That despite the failure/ mistakes I made, He forgave me.. and gave me the privillege to serve him in the choir ministry... to be one of the earthen vessel to usher in His presence... Remember in one of the email that SIster Minmin (my 1st choir IC) sent.. the choir members are like the Levites.. we are like the soldiers in the front line.. Praise is one of the spiritual weapon that God has given us.. Like how Joshua took over Jericho.. Yup... I will strengthen my spritual walk and walk even closer to Him everyday of my life.. hmmm and I know that God has given me this gift not be kept.. Courage also in terms to serve Him to a greater extent in this ministry I'm in.. Choir... :)

mione.. can u stop acting cute/bimbo infront of him?? hmmm had some mixed feelings going on here... sort it out.. i wonder when.. actually I thought something would happen... when a question was asked... fortunately.. it was not what I expected... Thank God! cuz I was definitely not prepared.. but the way the question was ask was kinda misleading... anyway.. drop that line of thot..

*Moving On... Scaling greater heights!*

hmm the past three nights of the Conference with Rev Dr. Phil Pringle was life-changing..
The message of second nite impressed the most on me... the 4Ds that a man/ woman of God will go thru...

Disappointment
Discouragement
Depression
Death

hmmm was greatly encouraged that I was going on the right path... been thru all the processes.. am in fact at stage 4... nope.. I'm not comtemplating sucide.. [I think I cannot endure the pain even if i want to... I have to cover my eyes when drama/movies showed portion of people trying to cut their wrist.. I have the shudders to think even of the action... but life is precious.. Jesus has given His life in exchange for ours.. What right do we have to end it.. moreover it would rendered everything on the cross useless... ] death of a dream.. the dream I thought that has vanised.. died-ed [if there's such a word.. i.e. died from the dead stage...] buried 6 feet underground.. until wed's nite... :) though I was not prayed for (didn't fall into any of the categories) but God's power is still the same.. just that whether we are willing to tap into or not...

somehow everything is cleared now why I'm the way I'm..

river of God... wow... tonite's sermon was more WOAh.. hmmm glad that I'm able to be in the main hall... was kinda distracted by some of the happenings going around me.. Yup.. I need to FOCUS... hmmm nevertheless... I know it will come to pass... :) [airing my thoughts out aloud. ignore if don't comprehend)

hmmm thousand and one things ran thru' my mind... Yikes, I realised that my taste changed rather fast... This was like a NONO a few days ago.. now I realised that I'd changed my mind.. Gee.. >.<

yeah... my blueberry muffins received a not bad response.. :) hmmm btw took a day leave cuz woke up late.. hence materialised the muffin mix I bought over the weekend into the final products.. kekeke..

hmmm huiling, hang in there okie.. anytime u need a listening ear.. yee will be here...

very blessed that these past two nites, I was given a ride home.. Thanks Terence.. else.. I think I will have to stand one hour on the busride home..

*Discouragement*

Fresh from the leadership files::
Discouragement

A leader without courage is a leader without leadership.

Amazingly, for leaders, courage prevails over wisdom.David and Goliath.

The strong persist through discouragement.

They pursue even when their heart flags.

Personal faith is absolutely essential for the leader.

Failure is not final!

Whether we get up again will render the failure final or not.

High visionary leaders require the failure, final or not.

High visionary leaders require high-level encouragement.

Learn to encourage yourself.

Develop relationships with encouraging people.

Remove unnecessary discouraging influences from your life.

Let everything be done to build up your spirit.

Watch, read and listen to what builds you up.

God moves through people of courage.

yay.. brought my mom to chinese service!! (it was not easy cuz she contemplated to stay at home ... thanks long for praying!!) I can say that she was very blessed by the message that Pastor Tan preached. :) Though she didn't respond to the altar call, I saw that she was reciting the sinner's prayer (her mouth was mumbling... ) It'll happen sooon.... cuz saw that she was actually lifting up her hands during worship songs.. Praise the Lord.. :)
I think I will miss singing for Chinese Church... Told sis Jocelyn that I may not be able to help out chinese church on permanent basis...

The longest SAt I spent in jurong west ( save for my days in NTU) .. SAturday 07May05
ha... I was in church since 1030 to ard 2300++.. why?? hmm sat in for the special "make-up" cellgroup turned bible study lesson for this cell member @ cafe with long preaching.. who I realised that her foundation was rather weak... hmmm I know there's something I can do for her... [well.. i need to step out and step up]
hmmm had long wait... hmm talked to long on the bus to JP.. realised had nt been talking to him for some time... actually found it not that easy to talk to him recently.. I guessed I sorta have an "authority-phobia"? Anyway, I was caught by surprise his question of what's up with me lately... Ya, I know that what I ought to do, I should have done so much earlier... This has been addressed time and time again.. ( with the latest reminder... 3 hours ago... during the conference) I tried... but couldn't muster that up... I know I need to overcome that...

hmm cuiqi, thanks for accompanying me and waited for me to finish my ticket selling task... :) and really enjoyed the time spent talking with you... hmmm it's not really your problem.. for myself.. speaking from experience.. the thorn is there for a reason... well... fruit of long-suffering and patience is cultivating and developing... (and the thorn became thorns!) :)

Cellgroup.. Thursday 05May05
Had an awesome quiet time. Awesome.. cuz I was chastened by the word.. ya.. painful.. but ...awesome.. Our cellgroup (ok, not really, the multiplied cg) has a new couple... the weird thing was that Jacelyn told me that she was me and him... oh man... I dun want to entertain that thought... hey.. not that he's not that good... agreed that he's a man of God, I do get along with him.. (though he brings me to brink of my nerves at times... ) Urgh... whatever.. It's not June yet.. I don't want to think abt it!!!

hmmmm the first nite of the seminar was great... God's presence was very strong... Personally... for myself... I saw something new.. something I've not thought achievable.. and.. before that to occur.. I need to do what I'd to do... God had sent 5 persons to do something on this area... how?? I do want to move on and up...

banana... it's was great sitting next to you earlier and jia you.. Perserve on..

God, help me to bring light to the darkening workplace.. ya.. kinda dark.. cuz my colleagues loved to b**** abt my boss.. (and one of them is a believer.. ha.. ) and am trying hard not to condone their behavior and yet not be outcasted by them.... I know why I'm still there cuz what I need to do. I've yet accomplished...

Pardon me.. for using the b word...

changeme.
