*I will wait*

My life is Yours I live to praise You
No matter what the circumstance
You are the God of my salvation
I will put my trust in You I lift my soul to You
I stand upon the promises You made
I will wait
You're my hope
I will worship
The everlasting King the Holy One
I will wait
You're my strength
I will worship
The everlasting King the Holy One

I will wait for You
I will hide in You

the song that touches me most recently.. THe presence album is gREat.. :)

the same question that I tried to find an answer to last year came back again... [like the module that you never cleared that always huant you until you clear it.]
the only difference.. the next step lies with me...

*FAith..*

"Faith.. What's faith? "

This is what He asked me when I asked Him how/ really? after i alighted sis suzie car [thank for the ride home!!] (see earlier post) cUz the only hindrance in the way is.. my limited faith..

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of eyes not seen.
Faith is AcTive!
I guess I'd answered my own question... voice is not my voice but His..
-----------end of" parabled portion" -----------

Am gald that I made it to service 5& 6 today (thought the notes I took were now GONE cuz the careless one has misplaced her brand new oh so sweet nici-semi-felt-deco notebook) thank GOd it's NEW else.. the notes I'd accumulatd in past will be GONE) and i nearly wanted to take a cab .. cuz ya.. woke up late.. snooze the alarm and woke up a quarter to nine! Thank God that i only spent $2 cuz.. i bought the chartered bus tiz last nite.. heehee .. still managed to get into b4 @ sat 1st row behind the console..

God's presence is sooo tangible today... yes.. no doubt the theme revolved ard making room for God.. at different services, God is pruning areas of me.. His love covers ALL.. SOme thing big is cOming... gotta be prepared and enlarge!!

I really felt very privileged cuz will be serving for the 1st 2 mths EXPO choir.. [cuz it's just the ICs and helpers and some selected members..] i was rather surprised to see sis joce's sms.. :)

Think I just put off one of my pal whom i was chatting over msn..cuz went offline suddenly... seriously.. settle what that's sticking in the eye before the sianz thingy.. else.. lead to more prob! [that's my opinion anyway.. and.. hmm.. haha.. ] hey I seriously understand how u feel.. cuz.. i know the sianz feeling.. cuz felt it many times too.. and still do.. but until the impt is settled.. the secondary thing would not come to pass.. [self counselling as well... hha]

i need to pray and pray.. cuz of the parablised portion!

*想。。幻想。。渴望。。欲望*

她往着窗外的雪景，似乎在等待着。“会吗？凭直觉，我想会的。。”

**＊

等着，等着，窗外的景色，已不是雪皑皑了。只见在冬季沉睡的植物渐渐萌芽。。“继续等待吗？梦境会实现吗？这并非是幻想罢了。。”

**＊

炎热的夏天来了，学生门也放暑假了。窗户敞开着，幼儿们玩闹喧哗传入屋内。。“梦境始终还是梦境。。放弃吗？”

**＊

一片枯叶飘进了房内。。“哎，秋天了？为何还看不到？渴望心愿达成，但是机会几乎渺茫。。不甘心就这样轻易放弃.."

**＊

秋季将过去。。她还相信该发生的始终会发生。。“坚持下去！会实现的！”

*miss E that never seems to understand.*

yes, the devil seems to love to use her to irritate me. miss E. (i gotta endure with her reporting to me for work for the remaining five weeks to go.) i thought she had sorted out her thoughts.. hmm i was wrong.. Stuck in the old mindset.. you know the old familar saying of laidback kind ~ if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Yes, that's her and mind you, she is two years older than me in age.. longer in the organisation than me as well.. but she got AP. (not arithematic progression) Your attitude determines your altitude. Teachability level ~ rather low. Accepting task out of her assigned work scope - she has an uncouth term for it. (excreation task) ~ [think hokkien]

I admit that i might have raised a few decibels while communicating to her this morning. [the office is rather sparsely populated today] First of all, this wasn't the 1st time she came and ask for the explanation of my workings. first incidence Two WEEks ago~ apparently, she was TOO busy to work on it IMMEDiately (yet she has the luxury of time to engage in small chitchats @ her buddy's cubicle.)

did i mention that this was one of her backlog case which i had to help her to look into it (because of her inertia to work on it ~ her explanation, it was not my case initially, it was passed down.. Gee.. wake up! who pays u the salary? are you suppose to do tasks/cases assigned to you, even you did not create it..) and did the disgustingly manual /tedious tasks of manually vouching, tallying, summing up the error.. & making a copy of the 4 folders of reciepts.. and haha.. not even a word of thanks...

ya.. anyway, this morning Miss E came back again to ask for the workings & POINTED out that she did not know how I arrived at the workings. tried explaining the first time.. she seemed to have mircofilter in her ears. Attempt 1 failed to registerd in her head. Tried to tell her AGAIn. Attempt 2 to force through the filtered layer of FAILED. Attempt 3 is more aggressive (ya.. louder now cUz the filter seemed to be resisting the information molecules from penetrating.) Miss E asked me why was i so agitated.. (i was not that provoked though.. just a bit louder cuz am emphasising) told her i was not, but trying to reiterate my point (hey, if it's wrong, would my manager allowed it to go out to the TP) Maybe i was speaking in another tongue to her. Miss E seemed upset, cuz she seemed to think her working is correct. HEr processing mechanism shut off to external world. She decided to work it out herself b4 comin cuz she didn't seem to receptive to my explanation.

the campfire song that I love - I've got peace like a river, i got peace like a river, i got peace like a river in my soul (in my soul)[x2] when angry, mispronouce one the word. when appeased, sing properly.. haha..

Anyway, i could have use words that are more chili padi like, but restrained.. i would loved to peppered the words & tone i speak to her.. but I didn't.. Thank You Holy Spirit for restraining me!!

Miss E, once again, you score a perfect ten for helping me cultivating the fruit of longsuffering!!

*a blessed day..*

indeed it was.. :) lalala!! very blessed since the weekend mione add "1" to the number of years she's on earth! :)

yay! my new mattress is arriving later tOnight.. (hmm cUz the current one ain't that comfy and no Spring..) best of all.. it's paid for by my dad.. :) (:

and happy happy cuz by early dec i should have my new desktop too... though seriously having 2nd thoughts now cuz this HP desktop seems to be working fine now.. (save for the S-L-O-W start-Up and can't seemed to mutli-task a lot..) hmmm ziv.. i would lOVe to get my apple.. maybe i will... but nOt now!

and yes.. I decided to switch to this no-fuss skin.. :) and changed the music to the kiddy song.. cuz if u have been to Takashimya Atrium area.. you can see elmo & cookie monster peering down the rooftop at you when you are making payment at the main cashier.. so cUte.. then my friend was singin the elmo song and haha it stuck in my mind.. hence.. in view of the festive season.. tis the season to be kiddy.. ha ha..

hmmm gonna meet sandi later.. haven seen her for long.. i think she is the person (other than my family ) who knew me the LONGEST (since Pri 6!& we were classmates from p6 to Sec 4!! amazing huh? <:) haven't met up with her since 2 christmas ago when she just returned from US... this week seems to be reunion week.. met shumin on tues.. was supposed to meet up with violet (girl.. if u reading this.. let's meet up again soon ok? sorry to "fly ur plane") today (thurs) but didn't cUz ya.. it was my dad's birthday! [happy birthday dad!] and Ohh... yay my mom is coming to the christmas service.. :) i bOOked her in advance and Praise the Lord she's agreed & her leave is apprOved!!

this weekend gonna be the last weekend to serve in services 2 & 3 @ jurong west.. must take pix.. :) woah.. time past soooo fast.. it just seems we'd shifted not long ago.. remembered also took pix (not that much cuz camera was still in the negative era & my "suay" film got overexposed!!) @ hollywood too.. *and i was like 3 mths + old then... (and was still clad in spritual mittens & bOoties then..) woah.. time flies.. hmm glad that with the next shift, gonna move up another level as well... 2006 is gonna be yet another exciting year.. sense that stress level gonna be up ~ workwise --
judging from the meeting that I'd with my boss on tues on 2006 workplan.. there are MUCH more things i need to do.. and ya.. from the way she put it.. when i adapted to the change in the industry portfolio, i will need to take on more stuff.. since this is true for the natural.. i can safely deduce the parallel applies to spiritual side.. *could sense it..* heehee

actually wanted to post some of the pix taken recently... but eyes getting tired..will do it another day... so C'est tout! gonna talk with my Dearest now... :)

*risk adverse*

This afternoon, thru' max, managed to "purchase" a brandnew desktop from another person who is keen to recontract with the service provider offering the service. (but I will only get the desktop after it is delivered to her cuz of some delivery & installation issue, i guess earliest in early dec! and i need to pay upfront!)

Interestingly, the other person wants me to pay immediateythe full sum (implied in 1st conversation with her cuz she wants to know when will i be transferring & later, the exact timing, and rather hesistant when i said i want to make half payment - i may be wrong abt the full payment but surely there must be some payment...) after she recontract. Cuz she said her dad was kinda strict and wants to see the money transferred into her account.. Interestingly, who is at the losing end if this transaction falls apart? her or me? At least if i don't want it (which won't happen unless there are changes to the conditions and considerations to be paid , cuz my word is my bond), she would still have the brand new pc and could always sell to another person. For me, if i paid in full (or even partial) before getting the desktop; and she decides to change her mind and not pass me the desktop and refuse to refund & everything is via verbal contract (by faith this stray thought of mine would not materialise!), what recourse do i have? I can't sue her cuz no documentation (ok, biz law from school taught me that verbal contract also considered a contract, there is also intention & agreement.. etc) and the only reason why this deal came to pass cuz of trust & faith that it will not be an empty promise. (all i have is her hp no.!)

I know that it may not be up to her, but seriously, if she wasn't from church and deal is thru' max, I won't even consider it cUz I'm rather risk-adverse too.. had actually thought of cash-on-delivery only (i would certainly insist that if the transacting party not from church.. ) so making a 50% deposit is a give & take.. wellwell.. i'm not don't go back on my word, and being pressed for payment for something i've yet lay hands (and I did mention that I will do the transfer in the evening, ) and i won't even get a receipt for payment for kinda irks me! Okie, what triggered these thoughts : paying for something that you have not laid hands on; no receipt upon payment; you don't know exactly know when you are getting for you've paid for; and being pressed for payment (as if i owe any outstanding sum)... the sole consolating thought ~ assurance from within that all will go on as it should be... hmm ya.. should not worry la.. :)

hmmm upheaval of regular hormonal activities do churn "interesting & creative" thoughts...

Anyway.. thank U max for being the middleman! :)

*It's Alive!!*

out 0f no particular reason, i decided to try switching on my PC again... was expecting the familar "beep beep beep" sound when i on the power switch... BUt tO my pleasant SUrPrise, the MS DOS PROMPT apologize for the the unsuccessful shutdown and I was given the choice to start in the SAFE mode (and some other options..) Happily selected the SAFE Mode, though i was rather apprehensive about the reality of it working.. (yah doubt..) Filled with sheer JOY & DELIGHT when i see the familar wallpaper after the system restore!! PRAISE the LORD!!!

No wonder I did not purchase any laptop despite scouting arOund Funan this evening with Max (thank U for wandering ard with me while lugging ur 3 modems as well!!)
Actually, would not have thought of trying my luck at restarting the PC tonight, (cuz the last i did on Tues, it went beeeeeeeeeeeeepbeeeeeeeeepbeeeeep (to infinity..) if MAx didn't ask me abt did i try again to on it.. Thank GOd I did!!!

Seems to have an anointing for resurrecting on non-living things.. remember my cracked watch? hmmmm God.. I want the sick to heal when i lay hands on them too.. will try on myself later... :O {had this long-term cough since Sept!!}

heeheee... oh.. did i mention that i've financial blessings from my parents initially to replace my "once-dead" PC.. heehee.. nope right? ya... so now, i can consider buying the iBook or save it up for studying... kekeke...

God is good.. all the time... all the time God is good!!!

p.s. for the very 1st time yesterday... i managed to conqueror the-i-can't-sing-and-play-the-guitar-mentality... the first song ever sUng to God non-acapella!! How great is our God! Indeed He is.. He can do exceeding and abudantly above all that we can think or ask of... hmmm at the rate things are going.. i may make it to school next year... BY faith.[Flesh is telling me 2007.. another voice within says 2006 but is my faith big enough?]

*noseAdripping, systemAclogging..*

plagued by this perpetual cough... for sooo long.... (since... sept?) the last horrendous long-term "attack" was 2 years ago.. to the extent that my GP requested me to take an X-ray.. fear that my lungs are infected..but no TB..
perhaps I should go to the doc later... perhaps I should get a flu vaccination too.. after i recover..

let me finish my work first though.. [ya.. am @work now..]

Praise the Lord that there was peace @ home when i returned last night after CWBS. [ya.. reached home ard 12mn.. and parents weren't always thrilled on this.. enuff said on this... ] and :) there's even dinner.. though i didn't eat much though...Hmmm the word of God is soooo amazing.. everything just ties in.. fresh manna daily... just wanna study mOre.. and not just head knowledge but experiential as well....lotsa thoughts.. perhaps not the time to share yet...
sorry cuiqi, didn't answer your call last night cuz my fone was low-bat.. hence very silent.. hope u didn't waited for me for long.. ;o

perhaps i yak more later tonight... :)

*absence of a few days...*

yup.. haven't been blogging.. too busy.. had a busy week..
Tuesday...
hectic day.. morning went on recee..then the focus grp meeting... then to church wide bs..bible study was great!! despite having gone thru GOTP.. it was not stale.. in fact, it's like fresh bread.. fresh revelation... and yes.. made me wanna dwell longer & get deeper in His Presence.. and to get more out of the Word!

WEdesday.. took the day off.. thought i could zzz in.. ended up.. walking a lot.. (had my own mini-run of "city hunter" to hunt for the tix... haha..the silly me could have just pick up the fone to check prior to making a wild goose chase.. but.. haha.. walking is a form of excercise too..!!)from suntec (item 1 purchased) to marina sq ( i thought I could have settled item 2 the tix, guess what, they no longer sell it over the counter.. it will take 2 working days to process the order..)hmm proceeded by mrt to ps to try my luck @ the head office.. gee.. no stock either.. proceeded on by foot to cineleisure [yikes.. too exp!] and last stop.. shaw center.. I was very tempted to stop @ cineleisure and get the more exp tix, but just don't feel rite.. the flesh wanna stop walking.. but spirit is not willing.. glad i moved on.. else.. it would be BAD decision.. met a very pleasant aunty who served me.. :) [yes, am rather particular abt service..] glad that i finished my tasks after 3 hours.. :)

Received an extraordinary request on wednesday evening.. actually i wanna make a long distance call to the handphone no.. just that i wasn't sure of the timing..wanted to spring her a surprise but she surprised me by requesting me to sing the chc's version of happy birthday (cuz her aussie pals don't do the " God is blessing you now... etc"!) ahaha.. so.. happily obliged (admist much giggles!!) glad that she adore her pressies which arrived way a few days ahead on schedule! Thank God for the divine timing.. (else, i should be attending bs when she called cuz the zone was scheduled to attend the wed's seminar, but me attended tues cuz was on duty..) Happy birthday [belated] my dearie palie .. looking forward to see u in a month++ time..

The City Hunter on Thurs..
i woke up @ 810 when i was supposed to reach esplanade at 930 SHARP.. [almost wanted to take cab.. but thank God i didn't listen to the other voice cuz ya.. i made it to the waterfront stage @ 930 sharp by mrt! ~ cuz i walked superfast! :) yay! $ saver!!]

Was actually expecting some familar faces in my team but to my dismay.. my team was one of the youngest team!! and yes.. comprising of three distinct grps.. cuz.. ya, some of them are sis weixuan's students, two chinese student from raymond's side and another two youth from gwen's and cecila from siewchoo's.. hmmm ha.. wellwell.. tried my best to integrated them as a grp.. well.. at least they warmed up after a few checkpts.. and glad to say.. that they did not give me much headache.. overall, they were rather onz.. well, being not familar with anyone of them.. I was forced out of my comfort zone to try to strike conversations with them.. not that easy initially cuz.. i guess lack of a ice-breaker..] :) guess what.. i was very :) to see the bee hive (or fly's eyes, whatever you call it!) @ the last check point cuz this meant that I'd completed my task successfully!!

anyway.. gotta thank them for being such a spot! Especially the two young chaps from gwen's side, at least they took the initiative to talk to the chinese guys! :) [hmm though they are unlikely to be reading abt this!!] Thank God for the wonderful weather and the friends and members who came seemed to have enjoyed themselves!

hmmm.. had lunch with the w110s who came.. ya, no new friends, but at least, we have some bonding.. :) the guys went bowling.. and joyce & i went shopping.. cuz this sat's boon siang's wedding.. glad to have the oppty to spend time with joyce. .as well as talking to her.. :) hope that this is start to closer bonds amongst the w110s.

concluding thoughts.. I guess i can safely say.. i won't get lost again in Marina Square after the extensive exploring for the past few days! :)[i did got lost the 1st time i went to the new marina square without assistance..!] There are certain areas I could have done better but nevertheless gald that I'd stepped out of my comfort zone and accomplish the task that i'd never imagine it to be possible (not without the leading of the Holy Spirit)! :) looking forward to more NEW things ahead! :)

non-related thoughts: I think I like ants.. they are a hardworking bunch!

I guess I will only be home 11pm++..(earliest..). decided to apply for a day leave on wed.. else I will be zzzzz.. .. yes.. I'll be off on Wed!! my chance to zzzzz ... (:

was on course [an in-house course on audit technique..] today.. wondered why I will tend to doze off during lessons.. etc but never during service, sermons no matter how tired i am.. hmm ya.. I stole a couple of winks here and there.. but heyhey.. I still perform rather well during the hands-on portion compared to those WIDE awake.. [not trying to be conceited here..just that the lecture is rather dry..]

hmmm realised that there are quite a no, of Christians around my division.. still there are lost ones.. ya. that's why I'm still there... :)

went to Marina Square with mom after work [to compensate that I won;t be ard later..] hmmm it's really a major revamp.. I almost got lost!!! hopefully i won't tmw.. :p
