Bad Bad week

Praise god today, cause that will bring about a positive attitude and will definitely take away all the bad stuff that happen..

This week is really bad, all about working till i'm exhausted.. sleeping very early at 9pm++ every night, found myself complaining alot about work, maps, blown ups, air photos, perfectionism, 4ntm, blah... very disturbed, stressed, tired and cant be bothered.. Thank god it's over.. heh.. and from next week, i must try my best to accomplish more.. not to live in bitterness, living up to what i should be.. Yeah.. remember Psalms 23:4!!

Story of the farmer

Well, i'm no story teller, but i guess this is what i can do to help someone in need of help and do not know that he or she requires it.. I would encourage people to face their problems and not to hide from them as no matter what happens, it would affect you the most, not me, not other people..

Simple, a farmer sows his seeds on the fields.. and collects harvests twice a year.. He has a few workers with him, loyal and helpful, never really complain about having overworked. They shared meals, laughter and joy. One day, the farmer fell for gambling and decided to wind up his small little business that is stable. He hardly win, but fell deeper and deeper.. no matter how his workers and friends try to bring him back and counsel him, he just got more addicted and spent days and nights thinking of gambling, getting really bad-tempered and changed totally.. He lost his smile, and his workers' hearts shattered.. seeing that the farmer landed in such a bad shape and situation. Gambling brought to him nothing but depression, fury and self-pity.. The more he give, the sadder he feels.. withered and unhappy.. Here's what the workers' say, " we need you back, our hands are always stretched out towards u for u to hold onto us, to save and rescue u from ur dilemma and woes. we might not be always physically there, but bear in mind, gambling has harmed u enough isn't it? y keep on hanging on? it does u no good.. we'll support you, alright?"

farmer, wise up will ya?

Advancing into the Next Level

All things follow in a pattern.

1. Introduction -- Aquaintance -- Friendship -- Intimacy

Been enlightened by the word of God.. its like a new revelation to me. Knowing that God wants to restore back the intimacy with man once more through Jesus Christ, knowing that all man are born sinful and needed to be introduced to God before knowing God, establishing relationship with God and further on getting an intimate relationship with God.

2. Information + Renewal of the Mind = Beliefs -- Self Esteem -- Actions/Behaviour -- Results -- Habits -- Success or Failure

Realising how information and the changing of how i think can affect my success or failure to a certain issue, it is so important to receive the best information and renew my mind in the correct way to developing the right attitude, great authority and dignity to be able to take charge and be responsible over what i do, giving me results and progression into success..

God bless!

Bookstore Uncle

todae is the 2nd time that i serve at the bookstore, this time round dressed formally [ some say i look good, some say i look like attending wedding dinner, some say look like uncle.. haha] as Dr. A.R.Benard is the guest speaker this week.. I arrived at Hall 8 @ around 8.05am with Issac and Joseph.. I was shocked by the no. of copies of books i see there.. the one titled 'happiness is' by Dr A.R.Benard.. there are so many stacks of them that me and Elaine wouldn't know how to display them to look most presentable efficiently.. We ended up stacking buildings and castles like what Samuel did.. Something i noticed was how people there really tried to remember one another name, being friendly and helpful with one another..

When the crowds started pouring in, it was overwhelming.. People were buying books by stacks.. I was about to place some more stocks on the lighted tanker when a lady walked over and asked for 9 copies.. Then i have to get more stocks already, half the time i was trying my best to approach people and help them if necessary, not to forget directing people to the wrong place for the autograph session.. not on purpose, wai sum and i are guilty of that.. todae's service was so packed that we were wondering if we could get a seat in the audi.. and i did heh.. proud of that.. getting thru so many ushers and people..

It's friendship appreciation time.. really want to thank N162 for bringing joy to my life, being a cosy place to grow spiritually with so many brothers and sisters, able to know more about one another.. Recieved so many chocolate and cards, appreciate that alot..

And its also a fun time of fellowship with the CG and subzone at Meridien JC.. lol.. imagine someone playing netball in long pants, soccer shoes and t-shirt.. weirdx3.. din expect myself to be playing, nevertheless i had a great time playing with the SOC obstacles in the school.. yes.. its the low wall that is as high as the low ramp, low rope, monkey bars, sucide window and parallel bars.. The MVP got to be Charmaine for getting a '3 pointer' shoot when no one could have expected.. haha.. ended at 7pm.. latex3

Its all worth it and i feel satisfied.. Thank God for creating vibrant colours in my life, i will continue to serve Him well. Hallejulah

Long time

I cant believe that i've been so busy that i cud not blog at all.. Although it uses a bit of my time, yet it tells me of what i am going through and wad have i accomplished..

Especially last week i went for the firework festival at Marina Bay, setting off at 7plus, only to find out that everyone's there since long before that time and the crowds and the traffic jams are extremely scary.. Since when do we have so many people? Anyway, we found a good place @ Marina south grass field to watch the amazingly gorgeous firework.. i really like the 'Money tree' alot since the last time i saw it at NDP when i was in Sec 3.. Now i actually see a lot of money trees bursting in the sky.. It was SO beautiful! And i was happily eating a curry chicken drumstick when watching.. haha.. Soon after the short firework and the show is over, we all moved on to Geylang for durians! not a lot la, but few good ones and we left looking for more food around Geylang, especially frog leg porridge.. but we cant find a parking lot and so we went to Bt Timah Market for Carrot Cake, satay and fried oyster egg.. felt very full after that.. Satisfying.. Life's good when hanging out with family and good food..

This week, has been a tough one for me.. terrors of outfield, i'm still itching right now.. and today i just did a 16km run at ECP, and its such a long route.. i'm still wondering if i would be able to complete 21km.. my legs are about to burst with cramps..

Pointers to take this week:
1. Do not eat ice-cream that someone else feeds you, you might end up licking the person's hand.. haha..
2. Do not be tempted or else stomach upsets follow.. got a very bad experience after the run today which i tink is related to thursday nights off..
3. Try to stay out of the offices.. u wun want to have ur name called for SK..

Pop Culture

Basically I'm sucker for pop music, although once in a while i would prefer something more smoothing like the good old sentimental oldies or chinese songs. Nevertheless, I listen to good music everything, some trashy songs included.

Brings me back to my point, that songs all just go according to the liking to the listeners, and since Pop is more easily acceptable, it is definitely because it is rather addictive and catchy. So people, bear with it, especially when songs RING in our heads, spinning round and round like how L.O.V.E. makes the world go round.. wadeva it means ( quoted from ja)


Sun's music sounds really good. Something which i call music that heals the soul. Songs that people can relate to easily. Songs that encourage one to move on and see the light. This is definitely not some trashy pop songs that focus on bootylicious figures in the mtvs or some cutie pies that are too sweet to be true. Music for the heart i must say. =D

Talk around

I never like talking to people.. and talking for the sake of talking, although at times we need to communicate with people to know them more and also to prevent situations from getting more awkward. It is especially essential to know the ways of relating to people and able to express oneself truthfully and positively to others, leaving not just a good impression, but a friendship that follows thru.

We often think that we are just small little beings, one less one more doesn't matter. But God already knows how we look like, how many strands of hair we have, what we would encounter.. way before we are born, even the most minute detail. God has great plans for us. That we should dream dreams and see vision, and fulfill our purpose in life thru Jesus Christ that strengthens us.. I totally agree with CK that although God has plans for us, we are still the one walking the pave that is paved out. One thing to be glad is that God is always walking with us, whether if its the mountain tops or the deep valleys. He would be there to share your joy and sorrows, and comfort one whenever he or she is in need.

Therefore, we need to trust and have faith in God, people around us, ourselves and the future.

Thank you

Thank You for the promises You made,
for the gift of life You gave,
Always I will sing Your praise.

Thank You for the chance to live again,
for Your grace that never ends,
Always I will sing Your praise.

Wanna thank god for the things that He did for me, even if they are just small and minute stuffs, but i greatly appreciate that. Thank god for making me the no.26 of the 30 that the CCC band are going to autograph for after deciding that it was rather late. Thank god for letting me reach home fast and safely with the company of raymond. Thank god for putting people into my life, to befriend me, help me improve and move on in life. Hallelujah!

Great is Our God

its the 2nd time that i attended the Festival of Praise, and this time round with another identity, as a retail serviceman at Attributes at the North Entrance. i certainly do believe that a lot of hard work has to be put in to make the bookstore functioning.. loads of paintings, books, music cds, sermon cds, dvds, accessories and etc to be placed properly and different booths to cater for the customers. Queue marshall, cashiers, retails and logistics.. many people have to work together for the good works.. Work aside, i preferred last year's FOP as the songs were better (Sorry CCC and Don Moen), fact being that it was Hillsong and Delirious? performing. Also that i wasn't able to enjoy the full service due to ministry.. But still, no regrets for anything that i have done for today..

I feel estatic over getting an autograph from and a photo with the CCC band on their latest compilation album: Great is Our God.

12km out of 21km

More than halfway through this race, reaching the ending point soon.. What would i be doing after that i dun really know, but that time will tell...

Army taught us how to make things that are simple really complicated.. talk about organising a normal run.. we got to take 1hr trip to get to the place, 30mins of waiting time, 15mins of briefing time, 15mins of warming up and cooling down and also the run itself, about 1hr.. but isn't the run just 1hr.. nope.. talk about the manpower involved to set up water points, road marshalls, drivers to drive the store. Plus point would be creating more job opportunities for the bus drivers.

Soon after the run, i hitched Fattshin's car to Eunos to continue my route home.. What a long way.. since i need to get off Jurong east to buy baking materials and then took a wrong route to chinese garden which is nearly 4 bus stops to take 180 home.. Wow.. and still to buy my dinner and bubble tea for my sister.. reaching home only near 9pm.. tired out.. but i know this week got to be fun..

FOP and CHC's 17th anniversary.. 2 WOW events in a weekend.. YEAH!
