It's Not OK..
tell me, do u think its ok for a guy to like someone when he is still attached with a gf? In addition, for the guy to admit to this other girl that he likes her. My gosh, and after it all, still act like its a perfectly normal thing, and its no big deal. Not being very fair to your gf or this other girl u know? Do you know the consequences before you do anything? Weren't things fine the way they were 1 month ago when she asked you, and you said that you already had a gf, so how could you like others? So why then? Why did you have to admit your feelings a whole month later?
sighs. sorry for this emo post, but i just had to let it out.

Bliss
Been more than a month since i started work at bliss. Work there, is interesting and i would probably called it informative i guess. The people there are indeed nice and jovial sort. All quite a friendly lot and its very family like there. Nice place to work in where friends that last are easily made. haha. learnt a lot too since i started work. been learning many customer relationship skills, and loads abt wine. haha. Though it may not be a bed of roses each time i work, definitely, its like a rainbow in the storm, with all the people i can look forward to seeing each time. haha. prob that's all for now. haha. do pop by to try the food. its yummy. especially the tiramisu. hehe =P

i'm ok now
haven't been in the best of states previously... u probably can say i was going through a rough patch in life. But i'm ok now. stronger than before, wiser than previous, and more loved than ever by the people around me. wanna thank for friends for being there for me. For praying for me and watching over me. For being my listening ear and hearing me rant out my confusions and distress. Really appreciate all the advice as well as support that was given to me when i was at my weakest. Thanks so much pple, i love u all, i really do. I'm just glad we met and became friends. I guess for me the person i really need to thank is Jesus. When I was at my lowest, he never gave up on me and kept sending me hope and concern and love through all my friends around me. He was the only one who knew what would make me better and wake me up from my dreams and fantasy. Miss you people loads. Loves.

less than 2 days time...
In less than 48 hours, I'm gonna step into a life changing moment. I'm gonna meet strangers yet be myself in front of all 180 of them. It feels intimidating, but I know I can do it because I am drawing strength from the LORD.
[1 PETER 4:11] IF ANYONE SERVES, HE SHOULD DO IT WITH THE STRENGTH GOD PROVIDES, SO THAT IN ALL THINGS GOD MAY BE PRAISED THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. TO HIM BE THE GLORY AND POWER FOREVER AND EVER.
Lord, let me draw strength from you in the difficult times, such that your wondrous works can be seen through me, and will the glory be to you forever. Amen!

i lift all that i have to you
heys there people. Been pretty occupied with preparing for YISS that i haven't exactly blogged for like the last 2-3 months? omg. well. just had a sudden urge to sit down and blog today after so long.
Decided to share upon my favourite verse at the moment:
[Matthew 17:20] If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, nothing will be impossible for you.
* A mustard seed is really really tiny.*
It occured to me that in this community, there may be many who are curious to know more about God, but at times may feel unworthy of his attention and all?
Well the good news is that God doesn't mind, as long as you believe. When we even have faith as small as 1%, God will still make miracles happen for us in his time. Hence I encourage all of you to not stop believing, to continue to pray with expectant faith, and to lift up everything to God in prayer. In life, we may get caught up with trying to do everything by ourselves and like forgetting to let God be the driver in our lives, and all of a sudden everything seems to be coming down on you. The stress of having to cope with all the planned activities, and at the same time balance family, social and spiritual life. I know that it is super tough cause that's what i've been doing. Then I realise that I can't survive by depending on my own strength, but it is with faith that I believe that I can do all things through Christ. Amen!
[Philippians 4:13] I can do all things through him who gives me strength.
Therefore, I really pray that we will all keep in mind that God is just so awesome, and that we will give our all to him.
Oh, felt like sharing with you all something I wrote.
When you're tired, Praise the LORD, for all the work that will make you stronger.
When doubtful, Praise the LORD, for he will clear your questions and deepen your faith.
Whether happy or sad, Praise the LORD, for he is there to share them with you.
When you feel alone, Praise the LORD, for he is always with you every single second.
When the road is long, Praise the LORD, for he said, take the one step to me and I will take the rest to come to you.
When you feel broken, Praise the LORD, for he mends you whole again.
At all times, just Praise the LORD for our God is everlasting and almighty and nothing we do could make him love us any less.
Loves.
P.S. I hope what I just shared makes sense.

I think i'm falling sick again.. =(
haha. the weather has been pretty wel lately, and quite cooling or rather cold at night.. Think I may be catching a flu, or rather I may have already caught it....
Well, it was a great amplify meeting on friday. Experienced the Seder meal for the first time in my life, I would say it was a very interesting and memorable experience for me. Being a bit random here, but was just thinking how easy it is for random strangers to become friends quickly, yet upon being friends, there are times when it feels as if we are strangers.
Oh wells, and friday was my 1st meeting with THE TEAM for 19th YISS! woohoo! Am just so excited about this coming YISS, just know that it is gonna be such an amazing and miraculous camp. Am gonna be working with a fantastic co-coordinator - Cassie! as well as my beautiful team of leaders and service team. And of course, we can never forget the wonderful Exco and mentors who are ever so helpful and brilliant. Yup. I'm just realy really awaiting the moment with such enthusiasm and optimism cause I have a really strong positive feeling about this..=) Well, let's all work hard towards this common goal and perservere on! Will keep you hunks and babes in prayer and in my thoughts.
Well, I'm off to sleep now, still need to go to work tml. haha. Pray for me that can get into uni.. haha. Take care and God Bless!

Lack of Cash
Work is starting to slowly kill me. I'm getting insufficient rest, but I need the extra cash for so many things, and the many upcoming birthdays are one of the reasons.. I'm like already depleting my resources, but I still need to save up for my lappie and school fees. Imagine working 9am-9pm everyday for 7 days straight, on top of that travelling costs me about 3 hours total, so thats approx a 7.30am-11pm shift. Getting really exhausted, and the colleagues are proving to be a much tougher challenge each time. A real test of patience and tolerance I must say. Well, super tired now, am going to bed. Nights!
Tuesday, February 26, 2008
Better I guess..
Feeling a little better now. No idea how something so small could get me to be so moody yest. Perhaps its stress plus insufficient rest. I need sleep.
Justified.
today just justified my previous post about neglecting my friends, like everything i say is wrong. The intention is in my mind, but it just comes out wrong. What in the world is wrong with me? Yea go ahead and take a shot at me now. Don't worry, I probably have no strength or mood to defend.

Unfair Treatment
Been neglecting lots of things in life recently, and I think this really sucks. Been neglecting this blog for example, as my internet is a little crazy now, and sometimes when I'm in the midst of blogging, the window closes. How much better can things get? Really can't wait till I get my laptop. -sighs-
Also, sad to say, have kinda been neglecting my friends. You may say this is an excuse, but work is really taking up my whole schedule now. Have no life mans. While everyone is out there enjoying themselves in the evening after work, I'm still stuck in the office till about 9pm, and its probably 11pm when I finally get home. But I do admit that I haven't been putting in much effort to catch up with my friends especially Eunice, Stefan, Lynn and so many many more. Am glad I managed to see some of them today at amplify. But yea, there is still a whole lot more whom I have not spoken to in a long while..
Been doing some thinking recently, and it kinda bothers me how I've been living my life. Looking back, there always seems to be some occasion which could have turn out better if I had put in more effort, or there would be regret for not making certain decisions which could well change the future. I know regretting ain't worth it, so I guess I have to work harder on the future. Need to spend more time with my family, friends, God, and myself.
Lord, probably even before I say anything, you'd already know what's going through my mind, but still I pray that you fill me with your strength and courage. Lord, help me to perservere in these trying times and to just keep on moving forward, and not dwell on regret and the past. Lord, please help me to be more confident in the decisions I make, to have full faith in you and in myself. All these I pray in your most holy name O Lord.
Well, pardon the huge chunk of text. This is what happens when you neglect blogging for too long. It becomes close to extinct, or rather as bx puts it, "Blog be dead?" yup. well I have to work harder if I want this to work out. And I pray for my sis Eunice, that she will get well soon, and take good care of her health.
God Bless to one and all! Cheers!

My Apologies
heys pple. so sorry for not updating for so long. its prob been abt a mth alr. been busy with work, yup found a job that pays quite well. the work hours are good, the pay is good, the location was good too. what more could i ask for? till it moved to bt batok. for those who know where i stay, i think u get the picture. anyhows, my com has been down for a few days, so its kinda nice to see it working again for me now.. hopefully for some more time to go, as i really got loads of data inside. yupp..
haha.. anw Amplify has been great. met Josie the other day after work for dinner and we like jus sat and talk to catch up. lol. we both lost track of time and jus talked till abt 11pm. felt real good to talk to her again =) oh yea, tks for the treat josie=) hahaha.. bx came back for Amplify after his bmt.. haha so tanned now. hair nt much diff cox it was abt just as short before he went in.. haha! Oh! and Leo and Cass are like getting married, and its real cool. Really happy for the both of them. yup and the proposal was real sweet too.. haha.
that brings to mind valentines day. lol. when all the prices go up for dinings and most entertainment, in addition to having to squeeze with everyone else on the road or bus or train.. sighs.. hahhaa.. well, i guess its been quite commercialised alr. to me, any day can be valentines day as long as you are with your loved one. yup. but of course the once in a while surprise is really sweet! haha.
hmm so regarding my job, my colleagues and bosses are real nice, like yest my bosses just brought us out for lunch and all, quite fun.. oh and i think im going Shanghai on a business trip in mar. everything is paid for.. so cool.. haha. well after cny its gonna 2 hours travel each to and fro, so 4 hrs in total. so much for time well spent.. lol.
met eunice, evan, alvin and suria(alvin's & evan's friend) last night for the movie '27 dresses'. it was quite nice, good comedy and there are some really funny parts. haha. but overall the story is quite sweet. haha. den we were catching the trailers and i think we may watch 'definitely, maybe' and 'mama mia!'. haha but as a grp again? that i'm not so sure. haha. we'll see how when the time comes. oh yea. and we had thai express for dinner, or rather Eunice had her seafood tom yam with glass noodles, evan had his chendol and we shared the red rubies desert. the tom yam soup was so delicious i tell u. a little spicy but shiok! haha. the chendol and red ruby was yummilicious too. pity i can't cook most stuff for nuts.haha. mans i need to either learn how to cook good food, or find a guy who can cook superb food, haha. at least either way, i can get to eat yummy food. haha. but i guess it may prob be easier to learn how to cook. haha. not many guys i know around me can cook well, with the exception of Evan i guess. the food he's cooked so far for Eden is quite yummy, hahaha. oh wells. anw moving on....it felt gd to hang out with my sis(eunice) again. been a while since i went out with her and all. haha. i miss bro(stefan) too. haven't seen him for quite a while alr. wonder how he is. prob will try to meet up with the two of them together soon. haha. try to squeeze a time out of all our busy schedules. miss stefanie and antonia too. nv see them for sooo long, plus they stay in the west so hardly can meet up, but prob now that my office has moved, maybe there will be increased probability.
talking abt pple i've nv met for a while, i do miss going to softball. supp to resume earlier, but i've been busy with my cousin's wedding and all, but after cny i can go back to join them again! whee! hahaha. probably have to practise and all again before i can play the basics again, especially my catching and batting, which is pretty much EVERYTHING! hahah. oh mans. need to start training soon.
wells, i've gotta go for now. need to help my mum with the preparations for tonight's reunion dinner, so a HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR to all you folks out there! enjoy yourselves and i'll see u all real soon!

met eunice, evan, alvin and suria(alvin's & evan's friend) last night for the movie '27 dresses'. it was quite nice, good comedy and there are some really funny parts. haha. but overall the story is quite sweet. haha. den we were catching the trailers and i think we may watch 'definitely, maybe' and 'mama mia!'. haha but as a grp again? that i'm not so sure. haha. we'll see how when the time comes. oh yea. and we had thai express for dinner, or rather Eunice had her seafood tom yam with glass noodles, evan had his chendol and we shared the red rubies desert. the tom yam soup was so delicious i tell u. a little spicy but shiok! haha. the chendol and red ruby was yummilicious too. pity i can't cook most stuff for nuts.haha. mans i need to either learn how to cook good food, or find a guy who can cook superb food, haha. at least either way, i can get to eat yummy food. haha. but i guess it may prob be easier to learn how to cook. haha. not many guys i know around me can cook well, with the exception of Evan i guess. the food he's cooked so far for Eden is quite yummy, hahaha. oh wells. anw moving on....it felt gd to hang out with my sis(eunice) again. been a while since i went out with her and all. haha. i miss bro(stefan) too. haven't seen him for quite a while alr. wonder how he is. prob will try to meet up with the two of them together soon. haha. try to squeeze a time out of all our busy schedules. miss stefanie and antonia too. nv see them for sooo long, plus they stay in the west so hardly can meet up, but prob now that my office has moved, maybe there will be increased probability.

The Biggest Sacrifice of All
Well, I was checking my inbox and clearing my email. Still have 200+ emails to go through. But I wanted to share this very email with you all, cause I felt that it meant something to me, especially the story, making you reflect and remember the price he paid so that we could be present here today, each and every person. We are all beautiful creations of God, and he created us for a special purpose, and no matter what happens, I believe he would give his all to save us. Yup, so for me I really wanna thank him for everything, for my family, my friends, all the challenges that have made me stronger, and for teaching me new things in every single step of my life. And I just wanna say that I am not ashamed of my heavenly father and I just want to shout it out to the whole world. =)
Read only if you have time for God
Let me tell you, make sure you read all the way to the bottom. I almost deleted this email but I was blessed when I got to the end.
God, when I received this e-mail, I thought...I don't have time for this... And, this is really inappropriate during work.
Then, I realized that this kind of thinking is... Exactly, what has caused lot of the problems in our world today!
We try to keep God in church on Sunday morning...
Maybe, Sunday night...
And, the unlikely event of a midweek service.
We do like to have Him around during sickness...
And, of course, at funerals.
However, we don't have time, or room, for Him during work or play...
Because... That's the part of our lives we think... We can, and should, handle on our own.
May God forgive me for ever thinking...
That... there is a time or place where..HE is not to be FIRST in my life.
We should always have time to remember all HE has done for us.
If, You aren't ashamed to do this...
Please follow the directions.
Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father."
Not ashamed?
Pass this on ONLY IF YOU MEAN IT!!
Yes, I do Love God.
HE is my source of existence and Savior.
He keeps me functioning each and every day.
Without Him, I will be nothing. But, with Christ, HE strengthens me. (Phil 4:13)
This is the simplest test.
If You Love God... And, are not ashamed of all the marvelous things HE has done for you...
Send this to ten people and the person who sent it to you!
I don't think I know 10 people who would admit they love Jesus. Do You love Him?
THE POEM
I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work for bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer, and jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done, my soul could rest at ease.
All day long I had no time to spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of Christ to friends,they'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to do, that was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need, but at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord, I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book; It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said "Your name I cannot find.I once was going to write it down...But never found the time"
Now do you have the time to pass it on?
Make sure that you scroll through to the end.
Easy vs. Hard
Why is it so hard to tell the truth but Yet so easy to tell a lie?
Why are we so sleepy in church but Right when the sermon is over we suddenly wake up?
Why is it so hard to talk about God but yet so easy to talk about nasty stuff?
Why is it so boring to look at a Christian magazine, but yet so easy to look at a nasty one?
Why is it so easy to delete a Godly e- mail, but yet we forward all of the nasty ones?
Why are the churches getting smaller but yet the bars and dance clubs are getting larger?
Do you give up? Think about it . Are you going to forward this, or delete it?
Just remember-God is watching you.
Prayer Wheel-Let's see the devil stop this one!
Here's what the wheel is all about. When you receive this, say a prayer for the person that sent it to you....That's all you have to do....There is nothing attached....This is so powerful....Do not stop the wheel, please....
Of all the free gifts we may receive, Prayer is the very best one....
There are no costs, but wonderful rewards... GOD BLESS!
May God keep you and bless you. If this doesn't give you chills, nothing will...this message is very true. Hope you are all as blessed as I was from this story. I wonder how many people will delete this without reading it because of the title on it?
There once was a man named George Thomas, pastor in a small New England town.
One Easter Sunday morning he came to the Church carrying a rusty, bent, old bird cage, and set it by the pulpit. Eyebrows were raised and, as if in response, Pastor Thomas began to speak...
"I was walking through town yesterday when I saw a young boy coming toward me swinging this bird cage. On the bottom of the cage were three little wild birds, shivering with cold and fright.
I stopped the lad and asked,
"What you got there, son?"
"Just some old birds," came the reply.
"What are you gonna do with them?" I asked.
"Take 'em home and have fun with 'em," he answered. "I'm gonna tease 'em and pull out their feathers to make 'em fight. I'm gonna have a real good time."
"But you'll get tired of those birds sooner or later. What will you do?"
"Oh, I got some cats," said the little boy. "They like birds. I'll take 'em to them."
The pastor was silent for a moment. "How much do you want for those birds, son?"
"Huh?? !!! Why, you don't want them birds, mister. They're just plain old field birds. They don't sing. They ain't even pretty!"
"How much?" the pastor asked again.
The boy sized up the pastor as if he were crazy and said,"$10?"
The pastor reached in his pocket and took out a ten dollar bill. He placed it in the boy's hand. In a flash, the boy was gone.
The pastor picked up the cage and gently carried it to the end of the alley where there was a tree and a grassy spot. Setting the cage down, he opened the door, and by softly tapping the bars persuaded the birds out, setting them free.
Well, that explained the empty bird cage on the pulpit, and then the pastor began to tell this story.
One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation. Satan had just come from the Garden of Eden, and he was gloating and boasting.
"Yes, sir, I just caught the world full of people down there. Set me a trap, used bait I knew they couldn't resist. Got 'em all!"
"What are you going to do with them?" Jesus asked.
Satan replied, "Oh, I'm gonna have fun! I'm gonna teach them how to marry and divorce each other, how to hate and abuse each other, how to drink and smoke and curse. I'm gonna teach them how to invent guns and bombs and kill each other. I'm really gonna have fun!"
"And what will you do when you get done with them?" Jesus asked.
"Oh, I'll kill 'em," Satan glared proudly.
"How much do you want for them?" Jesus asked.
"Oh, you don't want those people. They ain't no good. Why, you'll take them and they'll just hate you. They'll spit on you, curse you and kill you. You don't want those people!!"
"How much?" He asked again.
Satan looked at Jesus and sneered, "All your blood, tears and your life."
Jesus said, "DONE!"
Then He paid the price.
The pastor picked up the cage he opened the door and he walked from the pulpit.
Notes:
Isn't it funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell.
Isn't it funny how someone can say "I believe in God" but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also "believes" in God).
Isn't it funny how you can send a thousand jokes through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing?
Isn't it funny how when you go to forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it to them.
Isn't it funny how I can be more worried about what other people think of me than what God thinks of me.
I pray, for everyone who sends this to their entire address book, they will be blessed by God in a way special for them.
And send it back to the person who sent it, to let them know that indeed it was sent out to many more.

Sounds hopeful..
hmm so I took the first step and called to arrange for an interview. well the whole job scope sounds interesting, working with events and roadshows, pay sounds reasonable too. I can't believe I was even agreeable to working 6 days a week. haha. Everything was so hopeful, and the person in charge even said that I passed the 1st interview and would call me before 5.30pm to arrange for a 2nd interview. But.. Its alr close to midnight now and still no call. Kinda disappointed now. oh wells. hope that they call tomorrow cause the whole job is kinda like something I have been interested in, where you work with people, and everyday is a new challenge. well. pray hard that they call tomorrow. =)
Looking For a Job
wells.. since its the new year, I can't exactly keep slacking my days away... Need to get a job like real soon. Was looking through the classifieds and realised that most of the jobs available are those of general packing and admin. Not many options to pick from. But oh well, beggers can't be choosers. Yea, many of my friends suggested going to a job agency, but I mean like the pay would be quite low, its VERY RARE to find a good paying job under job agencies.sighs. Hope I can find a good job soon.
