The Grads Rock!! (again)

I met up with Carmen today.
She told me that she enjoys the cg's company.
The cg is made up of mature believers (mostly leaders) and they are helping each other with their o'levels preparation.. oh yeah.. so biblical.. hawhaw..
Cindy seems quite smart.. Carmen said that even before Cindy read her (Carmen) question that she was doing, Cindy already knew she (Carmen) did it wrongly. It's either she can read minds or she is smart..
My guess.. it's God!!


Most of the grads scored B3 for their chinese o'levels (all passed!!) and their english oral examination went really well.. so blessed!! They are an EXTRAORDINARY group of GRADS. They are making waves.. just watch them.. (they are no free lunches in the world.. as you watch, you must pray for them)


Let me share more about them...
Just to add on to the Birthday Celebration the GRADS prepared for our dear new believers.
Oh.. Himyi and her team did so well..
Cindy did the event's bulletin.. so rainbowy... hawhaw..
Phoebe and Jolene planned the games.. it is so good.. everyone was high lah..
Weisong and Carmen hosted.. aiyo.. so farnie..
Yuen han bought the cake.. with the help of Weisong..
Then I was wondering what Himyi did? Delegation.. oh so well done..


The cake was the best part.. the new believers all liked it.. some even asked their follow upper where we bought it.. I was so happy that they enjoyed the cake.. haha.. until i knew it cost $30.
Then i remembered i forgot to give the GRADS a budget.. lesson learnt.. hawhaw..
But it's ok man.. no harm done.. I'm so glad the new believers liked the cake so much..


I'm so so proud of the GRADS.. whoa.. so efficient.. 7 people ran an event for 40 people..
They all compliment each other so well.. wah lau.. very good la.. where got so tian yi wu feng one.. hmm.. God placed everyone in the right places.. there's no arguing with God about it.. He knows best.. :)

The Grads Rock!!!

God has indeed bless you greatly in your exams and orals.. jia you for prelims..

Ignoring warnings

The electrical generators and radio equipment on board the Titanic were the best available at the time...


The senior wireless operator was John "Jack" Phillips, age 25, and the junior operator was 21 year old Harold Bride...


On the night of April 14, 1912, the two radio operators were busy trying to catch up on a back-log of traffic, which had built up from the night before because of some problem with the ship's radio equipment. Phillips had fixed the problem by 5:00 A.M., but there was apparently a lot of passenger traffic to be sent by the time he did...


One of the first messages he was to receive was from another ship, warning of ice...


A similar warning was received from the Greek steamer Athina...


Several other similar reports were copied, and delivered to the Captain of the Titanic...


At 9:30 PM, Phillips received another ice warning, this one from the ship Masaba, to which Phillips replied, "thanks," and resumed sending passenger traffic. The Masaba message warned of a huge field of ice, miles wide, but the Titanic continued to steam ahead at near her maximum speed of 20-23 knots.


At 10:55 PM, the freighter Californian sent another ice warning to the Titanic, stating, "We are stopped and surrounded by ice," to which Phillips replied, "Shut up!" "We are busy working Cape Race." (Cape Race Wireless, in Newfoundland)



At 11:40 PM, on Sunday, April 14, 1912, the Titanic struck an iceberg,



The Radio Legacy of the R.M.S. Titanic (by Dwight A. Johnson, KI5WI)

From Oprah show..

Resentment is like taking poison and wished that the other person would die.

If i were a little more...

This thought has been going through my mind for the past one month.. on and off..


The Kingdom of God could have taken a big leap if i was just a little more ______________. So so so many things just came to my mind.. loving, organized, understanding, prayerful, hardworking diligent..


I'm not being negative here or whatsoever, just being logical.


If I were a little more diligent, probably more things can be done or rather many things could have improved in quality. .
If I were a little more organized in my life, I'll be probably be able to fit in more things into that 24/7 of mine..
If I sleep one less hour, I could have probably done a little longer quiet time, so that I can hear one more word from God on what's my next task..
If I were a little more prayerful, I would have covered one more person's life in prayer..


oh man.. this sucks.. can't get it out of my head.. i feel like throwing the laptop out of the window.. (and then get myself a jail sentence for throwing rubbish from 8th storey high.. wahah.. stupid)


eeu.. stop it.. move on..

Mary J. Blige

Long before Mary J. Blige hit R&B stardom with her debut album What's the 411? in 1992, music was a refuge from the pain of her troubled childhood. Raised by a single mother in a New York housing project, Mary says she was molested at the age of 5. Physical abuse also left its mark on Mary's life at a young age, she says. "It's a vicious cycle," Mary says.


Mary turned to drugs and alcohol early in life and struggled with addiction for years. The music industry's partying lifestyle accelerated her downward spiral. She says her turning point came in 2001. After the loss of a close friend, her grief was compounded by the death of fellow hip-hop star Aaliyah on August 25 and the 9/11 tragedy.


Mary has now been sober for about five years. She attributes her progress to her religious faith and the power of forgiveness.


The new energy in Mary's life comes across in her music. "It's called freedom," she says. "Letting people's opinions be their opinions and not letting their opinions be my life—not letting what they say in the tabloids about me make me or break me. I know what I am in my heart. I know what I believe about me. That's the freedom I have in performing and looking in people's eyes and being able to smile from my heart."

Stupid girls

Two-time Grammy winner Pink made headlines recently for her hit song "Stupid Girls." She says there's an epidemic of mindlessness among teenagers today and America's obsession with celebrity is to blame. In her music video, she attacks modern-day role models like Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Jessica Simpson, mocking what she believes is their obsession with beauty, shopping and acting dumb.


Pink says striving to imitate the hottest celebrity squanders a young woman's own individuality and potential. "My definition of 'stupid' is wasting your opportunity to be yourself," Pink says, "because I think everybody has a uniqueness and everybody's good at something."


Pink says that if she had compromised herself as a young girl by acting "stupid," she wouldn't be where she is today - a message she hopes to convey to other girls. "If you are going to be the future rock stars [or] whatever you want to be - then you're wasting your time trying to be somebody else because you'll never get to you."

I think perhaps that's what's wrong..

I was on the mrt train home just now.. then i was thinking how come this few weeks i keep having difficulty trying to put across exactly what i want to say in proper words..

then i was thinking "is it i am too confortable with who i am mixing with?"
perhaps i'm so used to them knowing my style that i need not even bring across my ideas in words.. i seem to always just say "you know what i mean?"..

this is actually quite scary.. i feel that the people around me seems to know what i want with just my little gestures, sighs, eye contacts (or stares).. that i dun even need to say anything and i get what i wanted..

or sometimes because i know that they know what i want so i need not explain myself so much.. or if other people dun get what i mean, i become to lazy to explain..

oh man, suddenly i feel that i may even lose the ability to express myself.. haha.. aiyo.. i think i am starting to talk baby language instead.. eweu..

i think perhaps that's what's wrong..

Plastic surgery can do wonders.. hawhaw..

It didnt end when the structure ends

Yesterday, I was on my way to Istana Park for meeting.. I was waiting for the traffic light to turn green to cross.. then on the other side, i saw shiyun..

we met in the middle of the road to say "hi".. then she also said that my new hair color is nice :)
Though i really had a hard time in the beginning accepting the color.. but that's not the point of this entry..

i was really happy as i saw her.. cause usually i dun have any time at all to catch up with people that i'll really like to meet.. even though maybe we dun really have many things to talk about but seeing them every now and brightens my day..

let me mention a few names that comes across my mind now.. cynthia, shiyun, veronica, xueqi, amelia, huili, yiyou, naomi.. I STILL REMEMBER YOU!! haha..
you know actually all the hi & bye sessions makes my heart smile.. haha.. so funnie.. feels like phrase wrongly.. whatever..

then newly on the list.. ah tan & ah poon..
i enjoy all the times i meet up with them during formal shepherdings or freestyle shepherdings (as called by sherli).. we can practically discuss anything.. haha.. and we exchange news.. i tell them what is featured on BBC news.. they tell me what is going on in bai fen bai and other people's blogs..

I'm glad to be be able to serve with all of them one time in this ministry.. played a part in their lives.. and see them doing well elsewhere now..

i really enjoy meeting my sheeps.. i spent most of my time with them.. even in my hanging out times.. i'll do my best to help them and of course, it takes 2 hands to clap.. whether they want to help themselves too.. yeap..

actually it feels quite shuang when my sheep knows me.. know me so well that i dun have to clarify myself.. of course, i'll not take them for granted.. heh heh..

i was on the bus home from cityhall today, and i was thinking of all the relationships that i invested in and spent a lot of effort in.. i'm just glad that it didnt end when the structure ends..

Some thoughts

Sometimes it's hard to choose what is right,
but the wrong path isn't easy to take.

Never give up without a fight,
with God on your side, He will make things right.

Problems are here to stay,
but dun let it get in your way :)
