Mood

Seemed like things are just happening one after another since the lost of my belongings. As our church moved towards focusing on prayers, the devil isnt tt happy afterall. An hour a day, the whole church is going to pray from the youngest to the oldest. Even the kids in children's church are taught how to pray and they are having a P.U.S.H (Pray Until Something Happen) camp during the June holidays. Lots and lots of program lining up for them.

Not sure if it's just me or what... mayb the media news on the SiChuan did affect my mood somehow or rather. And other things that are making me worried and upset about. God is always on time. Last wk sermon was great. It really speaks into this season. Letting me see the light at the end of the tunnel. The sufferings that a christian bears for the glory of God. Just couldn't help but commit everything to Him becos things are just getting out of control and all I can do is to constantly pray about tt. Was quite burden for a few things and my friends.

Mayb things are just piling up which make me feel even more 'moody'. On sat morning, received an sms from pst saying that Kaylynn went home to be with the Lord. Was quite upset even though I never see her before. But she's just so young. She's a few months old (not sure if got a few months or not) baby girl of one of the children's church leader. Got some heart complications. But I believe thing happened for a reason. Just like wat Pst. Tan said only those who gone through certain things can help a segment of people. Like how Jesus is the life because He defeated death.

Saturday prayer meeting was great even though it seemed quite short. It's great praying together as a church. During prayer meeting, I just remembered that next wk is my last svc before leaving for Boston. I will definately miss church because it's just totally different from watching svc online. Went for dinner with my cousin cos fri was her birthday. Gonna meet up before I fly ma. So we went to JP Bentobox. Had a good time doing some catching up. Think we're always doing catching up hor. haha...

Sunday went for makeup cell at Bukit Gombak, Elyn's cell. Was quite an interesting one with interesting  and super friendly people. The last time I had cell with Elyn was 2years back. I was just remembered of God's faithfulness during these two years that even though everyone go into different cells, through the ups and downs, the uncertainty and all, I still stand strong. It's all by God's grace. The best gift for my friends from the previous cell is to move on with God. Because the saddest thing is to see your previous cell member fall.

Was almost late for work today but thank God I wasn't late. Ha.. so far I'm always early for work. Never late before. I still enjoy work just that sometimes, I finished my work too fast and left with nothing to do that I starting to learn how to stone and my mind wander off while I stare on the screen. lolx. If not my ears would be open to listen to others converse. Nothing to do ma. Ha.. But the people there are nice la. My collengue asked me to come back to work after the Boston trip once again. I just kept saying see how my schedule first. lolx. The paid is definately not more than tuition paid but it's nice to have good collengue in a nice environment. Mayb will just keep it open and see how. Mayb I can even work there during my SOT days. lolx. Fexible timing ma.

Went food expo with my lao peng you- Hui Qin. Lolx. Known her for 11years and it was quite ramdom cos was suppose to meet for reflection discussion today but in the end cancel and Hui Qin smsed mi so we decided to meet and go out. Ha... Went Expo for the popular fair and food expo den to tampines for a while. Was quite tiring but was good spenting some time together. Sometimes friends not matter how little time or how not often we meet up, once we meet up, there's this kind of special bonding and tons to chat about. It just great.

11days to Boston and I still got things to catch up with. My readings and assignments not yet done. The feeling gone from excited to nervous and missing everything and everyone in Singapore - my comfort zone. Ha... Gonna treasure every single moments now and over there at Boston because it's always quite useless to think and miss about other things when I should be treasuring every moments. I am already missing everyone. lolx.

The world...

Flip through the newspapers these few days and most of them are filled with the news on Sichuan and Myanmar. Quite a bit of destructions happened in just the past two wks. Somehow or rather these news affect the lives of everyone in the world even though it doesn't directly affect. Everyone is having donations and funds raising for the earthquake and cylone. There's definately a lot to be done after all the recuse works. Felt real blessed to be staying in Singapore, always away from natural disasters and always there lending hands to others. We're just like a blessing country to other countries. It's great seeing every little effort that everyone is playing. Sometimes, I just feel that I want to play a part too but I knew things are worse that I excepted and imagine so I dun think I am mentally, spiritually and physically prepared. It has always been my life goal to be a blessing to others especially the less fortunate. And well, everything gonna starts from me to my family and friends, to my community and expanding out to others.

These few days were busy with works and got home quite late. Yesterday reached home at about 11.30am after visitation. So super tired. But was happy working cos there's isn't much stress and people are great. Gonna get something back for them from my trip. Ha... Will want to stay longer if I have the time but really no time so guess I gonna stop work on 4th June. The next holidays, I will definately want to work in a childcare or kindergarten for the 3months holidays cos I really dun have much experience working there. Ha... Can save up the money for SOT nx year and hopefully my driving license. So for now just keep counting down.

Gonna get my paid tml AGAIN. I guess no one will say that sentence with the word 'AGAIN' but I just couldn't help but have phobia about tt. Sigh... Gonna bring my POSBANK book tml so that I can deposit my money straight away. Dun wan to waste another wk of work effort. Everyday as I clock in and out with the pay slip, it will just remind me of my paid. Just like how one day when I was walking to the bus stop, a black bird (not sure what bird is that) flew towards me and gave me a slap with his wings. He was flying so low and I guess it didn't estimate well. The nx day when I was in the kitchen, I heard a sound and I just involuntarily bend down cos I thought a bird flew into my house. Really phobia la.

Ok enough of all that. Counting down again... 16DAYS to Boston!
Oh ya... I got a new SIM card back with my new old number so can contact me on my previous number le.

Updates

Hmm... still a bit sad about the loss of my stuff but quite ok about it le. As I pray, God just reminded me of Job. Even though he was deny of many precious things in his life, nevertheless, he continue to trust in God and never once curse the name of God. I always admire the faith that Job had that no matter what happened in his life, he still stands strong and firm in God. Even though the whole world failed him, nevertheless, he held on to his faith. =)

Did all the neccessary stuffs to cancel all the cards and stuffs le... now just need a bit more time to get things back to normal. Need to do some replacement and stuff. Oh ya... Didn't dare to tell my mum about all these. ONli told her that I lost my keys so that she agreed to buy a new lock for the door. Scare the person will come rob my house. lolx. As if she dares. ha...

Back to work tml, will ask if I could get my friday paid back cos I havent claim it yet but I lost the slip of paper. As for phone wise, thanks to Eng Wee who will be lending me his spare phone for the next 3 weeks. Will get a new phone onli when I'm back in Singapore ba since I won't be using it in Boston anywhere. See if I got spare money leftover when I'm back. lolx.

Sat rushed back to expo for meeting with pastor and Children's church leaders are pledging to start to pray for an hour a day until the end of June. We even wrote a pledge. lolx. Gonna continue to believe in the power of prayer. Children's church is going to have EMERGE JUNIOR! So cool! But I won't be around. It will be super great. I will promise to play my part in praying since I won't be able to serve during June.

Sunday went to celebrate my aunt's bday at Tampines Swimming Complex Nihon Mura 日本村. The 99cents sushi. A treat from my uncle! So we eat to our fullest. From the 99cents sushi all the way to all the various bbq sticks. Nice! Always enjoy going there. Yay!

Today, went for project discussion at Bugis. Yay! We're almost there. Finishing soon. After these gonna starts to concentrate on individual assignments and stuff le. 3 more wks left! So fast! It's really drawing near. Ha... After that wanted to go for DHL balloon ride cos SHuling's got 4 tickets for it but sigh... the person actually said that it's too windy so cannot fly! lolx. It's ok gonna go there another day when it's not so windy and not raining. lolx. So many factors to consider la. haha...

For the next few days:

Wed- Work, Visitation
Thur- Work, Revivalist.

I'm super duper sad! =(

What am I doing in the middle of the night so late this hour? Cos I just came back from the police station! I lost my phone pouch which consists of my nokia 5610, my IC, my Student concession pass, my POSBank card, my causal labour voucher (my paid today $51 which I wanted to claim it on tue!), my this wk paid of $195 and my this wk allowance of $50! So in total I lost about $400 to $500 dollars! This is the first time I lost such a big amount of money. I just left it in the toilet and when I realised that I left it there for 15mins, it was gone, no where to be found.

I'm super sad not becos of the lost of the money but because it's my hard work this wk. Working just for a wk and I just claim my paid today! Want to find ATM deposit machine but could find it so didn't cash in the money and the next thing is, it's all gone. I wasted my whole wk for NOTHING.

Now I need to make so many reports and replacements which is super troublesome. I really dun understand why people just can't be kind enough to call back and return what is being found? Becos we're living in a broken down world. God, I sincerely pray that that person will 'liang xin fa xie' and at least mail back my sim card, IC and student concession card. I just bought my travel concession not long ago! And all my dear ones contacts! All my ministry, kids' contacts and everything. It's just too much! Thinking of all these, I just can't happen but ask why.

God, you said in your word that you will rebuke the devourer for my sake cos I paid my tithe faithfully. I'm sad also because I remember counting how much I will earn and how much tithe I can give next month. I want to be of value in God's kingdom. I want to increase my tithe. God, I leave this incident up into your hands.

So now, whoever wants to contact me please call me @ 92220685. It's just not my day today.
Tks Daphne for your companionship today throughout this incident. =)

Some updates!

Finally can spare some time to update my blog. Was super busy working these few days. Been a while since I last work. Dun really like to work during holidays cos it's a time for me to catch up on lots of things. But not so bad, was quite good actually. Cos just as I prayed, God really answered prayers. Everyone in my working place are good and super friendly. Lunch included too so no need to go out and eat. Is really experiencing the 9-5pm, office work ar... ha... I doubt I will do tt nx time when I graduate la. lolx. Did lots of data entry and filling today. Trying to test my 'sorting' skill and 'ABC' knowlegde cos suppose to file everything from A-Z companies and according to dates. Quite enjoying actually. Oh ya... I can actually get my paid daily. Ha...

Didnt real have much time for family cos monday went for project discussion after work till 10plus, wed went for visitation, today gave Zann bible study and tml still got Mascarade dinner. Can't go home after work so dun really have the time to do other stuff. Was so free the last few wks but once I started work, I became quite busy.

Reall looking forward to Boston, just 21days to go, I'll be on the plane with all my classmates all the way to US. So cool. Ha... Gonna complete all my pre-trip assignments soon if I want to spare some time for shopping over there. Still must start to pack and get things ready for the trip. So excited but some to think of it, I'm starting to miss Singapore, my family and friends and cg. I always thought tt I won't be those 'home sick' kind of person but as I count down to the trip, I'm starting to miss my everything. Cos it's like 5 wks! And I'm like trying to get everything settle so tt when I'm not ard, at least someone can help me take care of my 'kids' (ministry la) and lots more. Hmm... Always have these kind of mixed feelings.

Oh ya... was reading something online and found out that the CDC/CCC bursary actually increased. For polytechnic, it increasedfrom $1000 to $1200. And for University, it actually increased from $1000 to $1600! I really waiting for Rajes email to in front us when we can apply for it. lolx. Last time when I got the bursary, I used to wonder why polytechnic and university get the some amount when their school fees are way apart. lolx. Pray tt I could get that so that I could pay off some of my school fee loans.

Coming up:
Fri - Mascarade Dinner @ Vivio city
Sat - Ministry, Service and back to Expo! (to meet pst)
Sun - CG, celebrating aunt's bday @ Fish & Co.
Mon -Public holiday! No work! but got project discussion.

Praise worthy reports!

Friday, went for morning swimming again. ha... was quite fun. Shall continue swimming when I can. After tt went for CG meeting in the evening. Had great fellowship with the potluck and even greater cgm from like 8-11pm! Time really flies when you're in the presence of God. By the time cg ended was quite shocked tt it's already so late le. Den everyone disappear within minutes all rushing to different directions home. ha...

Reached home at about 11.45pm. Was still quite burden for sat cch cos I didnt manage to comfirm with most of the children regarding their attd for svc the nx day. So I prayed prayed and prayed. Slept but woke up still not very satisfy so I continue to pray for every kid in my group. Praise the Lord! Parents started to sms mi and ask me for the timing and kids started to call and tell me that they are coming. So in the end, I got 10kids with 2 newcomers without doing much except to pray! I shall continue to believe God for a breakthrough attd!

Was talking about cg with my bro today on the way back home. Hmm... CG will probably starts any cg in the east. hopefully it will be during the wkdays so tt I can finally serve in sun expo. Had been putting it off for a while since cg is on sunday. Wanna use what I learnt in church for the 4-6 years old age group. Should pray about it and see how ba. CCH leader keep persuading me about CCH cell. lolx. No at the moment ba. ha... Really got lots to pray about. For directions, guidance and so on...

Oh ya... I'm starting work on monday doing data entry at Pan pacific hotel, $6/hr. Tks to Daphne and her friend. ha... Shall pray tt it will be good. Quite exciting for it. ha... But tt will means less time for me to relax. ha.. relax for like 3wks le.

Just checked my results cos I remember someone asking for my results tt day during cell. At that moment, I was thinking result? I nv even thought of tt. Ha... totally forgot abt this time called result. Ha.. Praise God for improvement grades. Feel good being able to improved and beat my previous semester result. There's no greater victory than improvement.

Mid Week

Hmm... so far the week had been going well. Went out on monday for shopping... Finally bought the pants/shorts (Dunno what it is called) which I saw a few wks ago with my cousin but didnt buy it cos cannot try. But yeah! Walk around the whole of bugis street and finally bought it cos there's this one whole stretch of stores where every shop is selling things at $10! From any tops to any bottoms all selling at $10. Yeah! So I bought mine for $10. Now wondering should I get another one since it's very comfortable. Can bring it to Boston and wear. And I bought a pair of shoes for $19.90 too. Ha...

After that went for a swim at tampines swimming complex at around 5plus (A good time for swimming without the sun) Ha... Swim until 7plus cos I can't remember swimming at night so insist to stay till sun set. Everytime when I go visitation, to the condominium den I have the urge to jump into the pool and swim cos it's at night and after walking for so long, I just feel like soaking in the pool. lolx. Might try going for a swim early in the morning. ha... (to avoid the sun)

Stayed at home on tue to continue watching my TVB series on youtube and now on tudou. ha... Realised that I have finished 'War's in Law II, Steps and Saviour Law II'. Now watching 和味浓情 and wanna watch 'The seventh day'. Ha... Holiday is a time to catch up on all my shows. lolx. Just loved Hong Kong drama series. Very interesting and different from Singapore's show.

Came back from visitation just now at about 11pm. Didnt have dinner cos started visitation from 5pm till 10pm. Quite a number to visit cos it's Mother's Day celebration this wk so praying that all the kids will turn up (with their mothers hopefully). So didnt get to spend a lot of time with them cos was rushing here and there. But great! They're finishing their exams this wk so next wk I shall see if I can spend more time with them. Ha...

Just had 'dinner' (Biscuits and Milo). Ha... Cos wanna take some flu medication. Think I'm down with a slight flu after the swim on monday. Maybe I caught a cold cos was shivering when I came out of the water. Shall bring a bigger towel next time. Ha... Going for a swim again tml morning. Hopefully tml no more flu den can go swim again. lolx.

A few more days to the end of the week:
Thur- Swim in the morning and Bible Study with Zann.
Fri- Swim in the morning?(not sure yet) and CG & Potluck @ Joseph's house, 6.30pm.
Sat- CCH at 11.40am and svc at 3.30pm.
Sun- Nothing is on. lolx. Still in the mist of planning for Mother's Day.
Mon- Assignment discussion 7.30pm at Bugis Bas Basah Mac.
(Still got a lot of readings not done yet. Gonna starts on the individual reflections soon!)
-30days to Boston!-

My Love Language

The Five Love Languages

My primary love language is probably
Physical Touch
with a secondary love language being
Words of Affirmation.

Complete set of results

Physical Touch: 9
Words of Affirmation: 8
Quality Time: 6
Receiving Gifts: 5
Acts of Service: 2


Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

The Weekend

Quite an interesting weekend. Went down for cycling on sat morning even though I really dun wan to go cos it's early in the morning and after which I need to come back home and bath before going down for service. But in the end, I decided to go afterall as I jsut feel that I nd to go even though in the end the outing only got me, Engwee, Patuma and Callista. Just the few leaders going out for cycling but imagine if I also didnt go down... But it's still great cos I felt quite refresh after cycling for 2hours before going down for service.

Was tremendously blessed by Pst. Tan's preaching about the power of prayer and spiritual adoption. Was quite surpraise when the message really build on what God had been prompting in my heart during the week. As He reminded me about the power of prayers and how powerful prayer is. Becos as I visit during the week, I just felt that I should pray more than visiting. It's easier to pray that to keep on trying by my own might. That's why I ended my visitation quite early on Fri. And praise the Lord, indeed prayers work wonders. My attd for this wk is 25 when I didnt really visit like crazy. Gonna keep on praying.

It really touches my heart when Pst shared about how Pst. Cho pray for his son who is suppose to be dead but he refused to accept it and kept on praying. His son actually came back to life and told him that Jesus said to him that 'I can't keep you here becos your dad won't not allow'. Indeed how powerful is our prayer?! Really had a great service from the beginning till the end. From the praise which was super hype-up, filled with great praises and joy. Everyone is so exciting praising God.

As for sunday, praise God that Melissa made it for cellgroup meeting! Really great seeing someone saved and pursuing after God. Had a great cellgroup and this was one of the old worship song... Long time nv sing it le. Really very meaningful. And yay! I got my Ministry Member card for 2008! Last year dunno why didnt get a renew one. Still remember the time when my cg members and I was helping out in church office to en-code the barcode for those cards. Enjoy the song!

All to Jesus I surrender
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In his presence daily live.

All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken,
Take me Jesus, take me now.

(Chorus)
I surrender all, I surrender all;
All to thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
