20 mins before work... - happie; excited

Early for work??? That's cos I had a long, long sleep last night...when I woke up this morning, I saw a shocking 14 missed calls on my phone!!! And the phone was nowhere further than beside my ear!! Man!! Can't believe it...and the SMSes...1 friend thot I went missing, another thot I was too angry with her to pick up her calls...actually she said I cut off her call twice..and I remember nothing abt it! Okie...fine....call me a.....sleeping beauty if you want...(haha! Joyce Meyer say we can't speak bad about ourselves!) But I think I should change my ringtone...I vaguely remember in my sleep that I heard the song "Awaken my Soul" playing in the background and I was wondering why it got cut off..."Awaken my Soul" is my ringtone....=p

Anyway, I just finished reading the book "Grinding It Out - The Making of McDonald's" by the very man behind it, Ray Kroc...IT'S SUCH AN AWESOME BOOK!! Totally inspirational and motivational...His entrepreneurial spirit, his love for others, his belief in his employees to bring out the best in them, his never-say-die attitude..so much so much I can say...Ray Kroc is such a BIG man on the inside...I like something he said (actually I like many things he said..haha..), "there were not any negatives that don't add up to a plus"...how true! He was a dreamer who will make his dreams come true...and not only his, but his friends', his employees', his coworkers',......I can go on and on about him but I think I shld start using my energy on my work than to continue blogging...ha...

Before I go, I must share about this great dance instructor!! His dance group, though only Secondary sch students, went for an open category dance competition and did outstanding-ly well!! But what impacted me is more than this...He was telling me about what he shared with them during their last prac before the competition, about letting go of their disappointments in life, in people, etc...actually I don't quite remember the details but I'm just really touched at how being a dance instructor, he wasn't just concerned about the dance, but about changing their lives..and he gave them a challenge to score above 70% for their end-yr exams...well, as I hear about how they shone on stage during the competition, though being the youngest competitors.. I can literally imagine how their lives have been touched and changed because someone believed in them & they achieved beyond their dreams...

Isn't this what life is all about? Using our lives to touch others' lives...to be the salt and light to the people of the world...to bring out the best in others, simply by believing in them...didn't we become who we are because someone believed in us? It's time I do something more..=)

Saturday afternoon... - peaceful; serene

Weather: Cool breeze after the early showers
Location: Cosy bedroom
Music: God of My Forever
Beverage: HL milk
Reading: CG sermon
Thoughts:
"When I'm faith-less, God is faithful;
When I'm weak, His hands carry me;
When I'm at my lowest, I soar on His wings;
When I don't believe in myself, He believed in me;
When it seems like all's gone, His love consumes my whole being;
Because of Him, I lived on;
Because of Him, I believed;
Because of Him, I am who I am;
Because of God, I can be."

After Lunch... - lethargy sets in


Had a yummy lunch treat from Veron at Sakae!! Was on our way back from EC to RW...such a satisfied lunch...sashimi, chawanmushi, cha soba, salmon with avocado sushi, california temaki, tofu, this straw mushrooms wrapped in beef....yes it's ALOT...haha...what a feast! Maybe that explains my lethargy now..ha..anyway..I'm so happie I'm beginning to appreciate sashimi a little bit more...haha!!


Haven been blogging...hmm..what have I been up to...healthy living!! haha...was trying to workout and diet for BBD...and continuing my efforts since then...went stairs climbing today!! 5x up and down my 12-storey flat...wobbly legs were my reward...hahaha...gotta work hard man...have to account to my faithful and diligent "fitness instructor" who never fail to check on my food intake and workout daily..*stressss* ;p


Oh yah..had a great time at BBD on Sunday...Dr Bernard shared about how God is setting us up for our purpose while we are busy "chasing donkeys" everyday....so gotta be more hardworking in "chasing donkeys"!! Hee...and I was quite happie taking pics at BBD....with zone, gang, etc etc...Some of the group pics!

National Day Holiday! - rest & relax

Let the picture do the talking...

KT Subzone Outing - Celebrating Shannon, Lynn & Nick's birthdays...























Met up with the rest of the WYZ/LYL/EW/JY leaders for a funny, great time @ Rush Hour 3!

Highlight of National Day...........Nope...not the Parade..I actually fell asleep before it started!! When I woke up...I heard the fireworks....=(

Anw..the highlight is.....catching up with my 921 sister Ms. Lua Huijing back for hols from Poland!!!! (She's a little dark cos she juz came back from Bangkok! =p)

We had a great time of talking, sharing, laughing,...I am so missing her fellowship...hope to spend more time with her before she leaves in Oct...if not it's gonna be another year!! Once again...SO HAPPY TO SPEND TIME WITH HER AGAIN!! =)

Once it was lost, Now it is found!! – exhilarated; relieved

Nothing can be compared to holding your own laptop in your hands, especially after thinking you have lost it for 3 whole days…all I can say is…THANK YOU GOD!!!!! I’m so so so thankful for kind souls like Ms Frances Foo from Comfort Lost and Found who went the extra mile to switch on my laptop and emailed me at the address she saw on my MSN…She was so happy to see me at the counter knowing that her email has found its way to its owner! So both of us were having a chat over the counter about how happie we both are – me having found my laptop; she having found the owner of the laptop…

Of course, most importantly…thank you Mr Ng Cheo Hock, driver of cab SHA7021T...YOU SAVED MY LIFE!! Though I doubt he will ever see this but if you happen to be on his cab..thank him for me!!! Tip him if possible…;p

HAPPY IS SPELT C-I-N-D-Y!!

But I think I must really watch my forgetfulness….after recovering my laptop…guess wat…I left the inspirational poster I bought for Veron at the Comfort lost n found…faintz…anyway…hope it blesses someone else then! =)

God must be rejoicing with me! - MY LAPTOP IS FOUND!!!

Thank God for the kind taxi driver!! Like what Karen says, pray for a kind soul to return it...and indeed it is!! After 2 days of MIA from my laptop, I really tot I couldn't retrieve it back...I was REALLY depressed in office on Monday realizing how handicapped I was without my laptop and all the lost info...I really cried buckets during our weekly prayer meet telling God that I may really have no more strength to start all my data retrieval, setting up network, redo-ing my stuffs, etc. etc. I cried out to God in my heart to please help me find my laptop...I do not know how but surely God knows...and last night when I checked my hotmail (an account which I rarely checked if not for the curriculum notes Kay Boon sent there..so thanks Kay Boon!) 'lo and behold I saw an email sent from Comfort Lost n Found!! GOD IS SO GOOD!! 100% of the time I cried out to God with all of my heart, He will surely hear me!! =) I felt as though a HUGE burden was lifted!!

Wanna say my 'Thank You' speech....ahem....
Thanks Jasper, Eileen, Yishun and the members who went down to SIS to search for my laptop early in the morning & Wendy who asked her usher ICs to help;
Thanks Jasper for sprinting home after FOP to reformat your thumbdrive to pass to me;
Thanks Walter for being willing to lend me his laptop;
Thanks Audrey for asking around your friends about cheap laptops;
Thanks Eugene for this SUPER LIGHT (he kept saying it so I must emphasize...;p) laptop on which I'm blogging now;
Thanks Veron for all your encouragement, Mac delivery, card/Kit Kat, Cravio! ice-cream when I was feeling really, really down...You brought the light of God into my life!!
Of course all others who msged me to encourage me assuring me that everything will be alright...THANK GOD FOR FRIENDS a.k.a GEMS LIKE YOU IN MY LIFE!!

Really didn't meant it to be as though I've just won an award and giving a speech but I felt really loved by all the gems around me...=)

Blogging from HP again..

Went back SIS yesterday.. DFO says nothing found.. Got SIS ppl to look again.. No news.. But I've more or less accepted it as a fact already.. Instead of dwelling in all the 'if only's might as well just move on.. That's my way of thinking... Dwelling on a problem doesn't help but moving on does! :)

Well.. Easier said than done.. I had my fair share of sobbing over the loss.. I had a big struggle in my heart yesterday... Din wanna go for FOP.. Of course not only cos of my laptop but another big thing that happened which I wont comment.. But indeed a day in the courts of our God is better than a thousand elsewhere... Initially I was feeling tired and distracted.. Yes the lemon honey bought by my members did cheer me up.. :) but it was really until Don Moen led us in the song 'God will make a way' that At the end of the meeting.. I really felt like a changed person.. Renewed and recharged by God.. Thank God for His presence and Don Moen for the beautiful song! 'God wil make a way, when there seems to be no way..'

On my way back to my house.. I was wondering why this MacDelivery guy kept following me..Then he stared at me totally confused when I tried to close the door leaving him outside.. My dear dear fren Veron called for delivery for me again! She is just so alwiz watching over me.. Making sure I'm ok.. :) Thank God for her! :) Fries with strawberry sundae.. Surely it does wonders making my night beautiful! Kept e nuggets and ice tea though.. ;p

In spite of all the things that happened.. I still put my trust in God knowing that ALL things work together for good to those who love Him! :)

Blogging from E61i..

Oooo! First time blogging from my new handphone!! Happy and sad.. Got myself a new phone but on the same day misplaced my laptop in SIS and haven been able to find it still... Haiz... ALLLL the info.. Sigh.. But thank God I still have this phone which I paid $38 for.. After vouchers, contract.. :)

New Things.... - wooo...

Went for a should I call it focus group discussion? Anyway…it’s a session with Social Innovation Park for all Social Entrepreneurs or related participants chaired by our MP Ms. Penny Low. I went there thinking of finding out more information on systems in companies, who knows it’s not a presentation but really a focus group of sharing! And…Ms. Low ENSURES every single person speaks…FAINTZ…it’s my first time in such a function with about 20 entrepreneurs around and man! Do I really need to be very confident…plus all the networking..but it’s really insightful listening to all the things people are doing for the less fortunate…

Anyway…we finally have our individual phones!!!! Though not individual phone lines but still very excited!! Had a lot of fun trying to program the speed dials, playing around with the intercom, etc. etc. But it looks really huge on our not-too-huge tables…ha…

DISSATISFACTION - I want more of You

How did I manage to convince myself to settle for above average when my God is a God beyond limitations? Why didn't I want more?

Why did I ever think that it is difficult when my God is the God who parted the Red Sea, walked on water and called life out of the tomb? Is 'difficult' a word He can comprehend?

I'm dissatisfied. I AM SURE MY GOD CAN DO MORE. I want to see more of God's hands moving in my life. I AM SURE GOD IS BIGGER THAN WAT I CAN SEE NOW. I desperately desire for His moving in every area of my life.

"Let the weak say, I AM STRONG!"
"Be STRONG and of good COURAGE."

I WANT TO SEE MORE OF GOD! I WANT MORE OF GOD!
