attending tertiary service brought back many memories of how we started. back then, poly group was in the same service as the northeast group, westlife was the main source of inspiration for some ESS song presentation LOL and many of us were still in our late teenage years. the few who hit the big 20 were qiufang, jaslin and mandy. not to mention, our dearest miss poon.

fast forward to 5 years later, those who came to know God in their 1st year in school back then became the current leaders we have now in various ministries. not to mention many who transfer to the adults group and some, to other countries to lend a supporting role in our global church ministry – eelee and lalita ^^

every single year, we grow in numbers and in maturity. every year we see improvements and every year God never fail to increase our faith goal. those were the days of CG404 and erm, i cant remember =p but it’s amazing if you look through those times when you chiong and go all the way out just to fulfill that number goal that you set by faith. and of cos those times when tears fell, leaders rebuke and people leave, we still stood by the test and remain strong. its really amazing how God has brought us thus far.

im sure many will look back and say God is good.

my Hope Church, my family.

I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning to the end
He noted that first came the date of her birth
And spoke the following date with tears
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years

For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth

For it matters not how much we own
The cars, the house, the cash
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash

So think about this long and hard
Are there things you’d like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
That can still be rearranged
If we could just slow down enough
To consider what’s true and real
And always try to understand
The way other people feel

And be less quick to anger
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we’ve never loved before

If we treat each other with respect
And more often wear a smile
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while

So, when your eulogy is being read
With your life’s actions to rehash
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?

woman.

i have never said anything that disregard my working environment. but i am really unhappy here. i so much want to tear the person i'm working with into shreds, claw his eyeballs out and stick them down his throat and with an ultimatum madness of stomping on him till my shoes wear out.

women.

perhaps im pmsing and im venting to make myself feel a lil better. and for once, my monthly visitation gave me the most excruciating pain that made me all vomitty late last night. sigh.

o man.

the men dont get it.

I was angry.

With a person I love very very much. For the past few nights, I mull over our heated conversation, the hurtful words we exchanged and those resentful tears that flowed uncontrollably. After much unspoken tension between us, we decided to keep a distance from each other and just simply give a single syllabus answer when needed.

Help was very much needed and I decided that besides praying, deed must come in as well. And thus, I’ve received a replied email from this person I do not know very well yet I would stop everything just to sit down and listen to what he has to say.

“Such is … demands! Complex… and involved!”

How true. I believe that this will change for the better.

I finally logged in to msn this morning in the office and I had a hearty chat with a friend whom I never thought that I’ll ever engage in a serious conversation. To a certain extent, I was pretty much disappointed. At the same time, I cant help but appreciate that everything is still under control. My heart sank at the thought of how things are currently. Dismay I may be, but on the verge of giving up – absolutely no. Hope Floats. It never sinks.

i like puns. they crack me up.

The first blog entry of 2008 and coincidently, my 701st post too. Pwha.

While 2008 was ushered in with glorious fireworks and Gurmit Singh singing off tune to auld lang sye, I felt that 2007 ended a tad too fast for me.

During December, Christmas was drawing near and while the closest we could get to snow was the pouring rain, I cant help but tune Hillsong’s O Rejoice on the repeat mode while I smell the rain and smiled to myself a couple of times. It was absolutely divine.

I always love Christmas. It’s wonderful. The atmosphere never fails to lift my spirit even though I’ve just shamelessly spent a bomb at some boutique. And as I recalled how I used to associate Christmas with the jolly chubby man in red who desperately squeezes through the narrow chimney while being taunt with oreos and milk by a small child, the true meaning of Christmas, is really, all about love. (santa love oreos, small child love santa’s gifts = their love is mutual. no?)

Back to my lovely Christmas, I’ve started to make some plush toys and tag them. And I must say they look pretty good! keke you'll all receieve it soon. I PROMISE.

Im not gonna reveal much but 2007 held some really memorable moments and memories for me.

my family and I became closer
my job and the domestic helper came at the exact right time. God is real I tell you ^^
my friends, esp babyee
mr moley lee for being there

and those 101 things I said and done while being consciously awake and aware of my surroundings at the same time is totally erroneous. Thus I prayed for a conscious heart to be wary of what I said and to identify with how the people might feel afterwards.

O, and that unspoken, unseen, untouched, unheard, you know, I know, we know, no barred discomfort we have? I pray that this year we’ll kiss and make up. I know you know that you know im talking about you know who right? Kekeke.

While I beckon 2008 with a wave, I looked back at 2007 and smile. No regrets at all.

and my new year resolution?

J.O.Y
