Morning~

Morning everyone. I am wide awake now filled with excitement for this brand new day. I do not know what is waiting for me today out there, and I am quite nervous.

I mean, it is something new that I have not done before and there's so many like possibilities out there. For this new opportunity given, there are many things I want to say.

Firstly, I thank God for guiding me through and making me wait for a long period of time before having this internship job. I know it is something that he had planned for me, and I know it is something he wants me to work in.

Secondly, I thank the wife for supporting me and the 12 kids thus far. Without her, I guess me and the 12kids would most probably starve to death. But then, the kids seem to be fattening up except like me and Tiny? haha . .

Thirdly, I'm so happy.

OK, I'm off to prepare myself for the big day.

See ya.

P.S. I feel like getting a phone that has wifi/ipod touch, so that I can at least go online and tweet while on the train. Haha . . . But then, hmm . . . I shall wait for Christmas sale. :D

Who is Jesus?

This is about 70 miles from Amarillo outside of town called Groom, TX . I had only seen the giant Cross that is in the center. It has now grown to these other statues. This is so NEAT .

(This must have been an awesome labor of love.)

Read message at the end of pictures!

These are the pictures of the crucifixion of Christ

Sculptured from metal by a man near Amarillo, TX.


The crosses are made of metal also. The man did

this out of the kindness of his heart.

Someone donated the land

On which to erect them.

Who is Jesus?
HE IS JESUS
WHO IS HE?


IN CHEMISTRY, HE TURNED WATER TO WINE.



IN BIOLOGY, HE WAS BORN WITHOUT THE
NORMAL CONCEPTION;



IN PHYSICS, HE DISPROVED THE LAW OF
GRAVITY WHEN HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN;



IN ECONOMICS, HE DISPROVED THE LAW
OF DIMINISHING RETURN BY FEEDING 5000 MEN WITH
TWO FISHES & 5 LOAVES OF BREAD;



IN MEDICINE, HE CURED THE SICK AND THE
BLIND WITHOUT ADMINISTERING A SINGLE DOSE OF DRUGS,


IN HISTORY, HE IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END;



IN GOVERNMENT, HE SAID THAT HE SHALL
BE CALLED WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, PRINCE OF PEACE



IN RELIGION, HE SAID NO ONE COMES TO
THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH HIM;



SO, WHO IS HE?
HE IS JESUS!



JOIN ME AND LET'S CELEBRATE HIM;
HE IS WORTHY

.

THE EYES BEHOLDING THIS MESSAGE SHALL
NOT BEHOLD EVIL,


THE HAND THAT WILL
SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYBODY SHALL
NOT LABOR IN VAIN,


AND THE MOUTH SAYING AMEN
TO THIS PRAYER SHALL SMILE FOREVER.



REMAIN IN GOD AND SEEK HIS FACE ALWAYS.
AMEN



IN GOD I'VE FOUND EVERYTHING!



The Greatest Man in History
Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.


Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.



Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer


He had no army, yet kings feared Him..


He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.
He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.
I feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us!
If you believe in God and in Jesus
Christ His Son ....

If not just ignore it.

If you ignore it, just remember that Jesus said.
'If you deny me before man, I will deny you before my Father in Heaven.

"No arms, No legs, No worries!" -- Nick Vujicic

Quote

Think this guy might have a message to give?

"My name is Nick Vujicic and I give God the Glory for how He has used my testimony to touch thousands of hearts around the world! I was born without limbs and doctors have no medical explanation for this birth 'defect'. As you can imagine, I was faced with many challenges and obstacles.

'Consider it pure joy, my Brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds.'

.... To count our hurt, pain and struggle as nothing but pure joy? As my parents were Christians, and my Dad even a Pastor of our church, they knew that verse very well. However, on the morning of the 4th of December 1982 in Melbourne Australia, the last two words on the minds of my parents was 'Praise God!'. Their firstborn son had been born without limbs! There were no warnings or time to prepare themselves for it. The doctors we shocked and had no answers at all! There is still no medical reason why this had happened and Nick now has a Brother and Sister who were born just like any other baby.

The whole church mourned over my birth and my parents were absolutely devastated. Everyone asked, 'if God is a God of Love, then why would God let something this bad happen to not just anyone, but dedicated Christians?' My Dad thought I wouldn't survive for very long, but tests proved that I was a healthy baby boy just with a few limbs missing.

'And we know that in all things God works for the best for those who love Him.' That verse spoke to my heart and convicted me to the point where that I know that there is no such thing as luck, chance or coincidence that these 'bad' things happen in our life.

I had complete peace knowing that God won't let anything happen to us in our life unless He has a good purpose for it all. I completely gave my life to Christ at the age of fifteen after reading John 9. J esus said that the reason the man was born blind was 'so that the works of God may be revealed through Him.' I truly believed that God would heal me so I could be a great testimony of His Awesome Power. Later on I was given the wisdom to understand that if we pray for something, if it's God's will, it'll happen in His time. If it's not God's will for it to happen, then I know that He has something better.

I now see that Glory revealed as He is using me just the way I am and in ways others can't be used.

I am now twenty-three years old and have completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Financial Planning and Accounting. I am also a motivational speaker and love to go out and share my story and testimony wherever opportunities become available. I have developed talks to relate to and encourage students through topics that challenge today's teenagers. I am also a speaker in the corporate sector.

I have a passion for reaching out to youth and keep myself available for whatever God wants me to do, and wherever He leads, I follow.

I have many dreams and goals that I have set to achieve in my life.

I want to become the best witness I can be of God's Love and Hope, to become an international inspirational speaker and be used as a vessel in both Christian and non-Christian venues. I want to become financially independent by the age of 25, through real estate investments, to modify a car for me to drive and to be interviewed and share my story on the ' Oprah Winfrey Show '! Writing several best-selling books has been one of my dreams and I hope to finish writing my first by the end of the year. It will be called 'No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!'?

I believe that if you have the desire and passion to do something, and if it's God's will, you will achieve it in good time. As humans, we continually put limits on ourselves for no reason at all! What's worse is putting limits on God who can do all things. We put God in a 'box'. The awesome thing about the Power of God, is that if we want to do something for God, instead of focusing on our capability, concentrate on our availability for we know that it is God through us and we can't do anything without Him. Once we make ourselves available for God's work, guess whose capabilities we rely on? God's!

May the Lord Bless you
In Christ,
Nick Vujicic

'Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be UNDERSTOOD'




Unquote

John 9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind.

John 9:3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

Weird World

I do not understand you, you and YOU!

Yes people, I do not understand ALL of you. Why? Because people tend to get complicated and I do not understand them anymore. Best part was, their personal feuds between one another has gotten so complicated that I do not know any in the first place.

Being the so clever me and I thought by calling everyone, like what Wan Jun would most probably wants, would be the best idea. Why all of them not thinking in the way I thought it would be? Is this how the world works? Is this how complicated a human mind could ever comes up with? Look, I thought the more the merrier and that we, I mean all of us, would have to meet up one another anytime soon. Singapore is small, do not tell me wherever you walked you would not be able to see your enemy, your ex boyfriends or girlfriends. You have to meet them anywhere in Singapore real soon, why not now?

This is fucking absurd. Yes, you saw the fucking word. Because I am so pissed off right now due to yesterday's stress and today's whatever problem. First thing I woke up was to get all this load of rubbish.

So what if Xueli and Jayne appear for the bean curd session, and some of you choose not to attend. There is nothing I can do, I repeat, THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO! Why? Because you fuckingly choose not to come because of this two human. Because they hurt you before, does not mean they would try to hurt you another time. Bygones let bygones, forgive and forget.

OK, you might say I have a very simple thinking. So what? God taught me to forgive and forget, HE taught me to accept one another no matter what flaws they have. Since HE can teach me that, why I cannot teach you that too?

People, do you ever wonder why sometimes we do not get along or why the world is having so much war, bombings, terrorist etc.? It is because we do not forgive and forget of whatever wrongs people did to us. Because we do not accept one another's good and bad points. Because we fuckingly do not get along in the first place, because all of you did not want to try.

If Obama can be the first african America to be the president, I wonder why all of you are not able to make the first step and make peace within your group of friends?

I tell you, we are/might be having BBQ this coming Christmas. I do not fuckingly care if you want to attend or not because of all those people I have called and listed. Because we are all human, and that if I do not call this particular person because you fuckingly do not like her, it would make me bias.

Micky has to be fair to call everyone, to let them know there is this gathering. Xueli and Jayne had helped me or did something good to me. There is no reason why I should deny their presence just because of some things I have experienced or heard. Why should I fuckingly accomodate to all of you because of your one small reason?

To make it clear, whatever outings or gatherings that Micky is involved, she will be calling EVERYONE on her MSN list whether you like it or not. Why all of you cannot get along? Why not all of you fuckingly try to get along? It is not as though the world is ending right at this instant.

P.S. I wrote this blog entry because I am fuckingly tired of all of you avoiding one another. But if you are still avoiding one another, there is no fucking way that I could do anything. Because it is your problem, not mine.

P.P.S. Because of this stupid bean curd gathering and the people I have e-mailed, my dearest wife is not going to talk to me just because I do not have the same thinking as her. How great!

Great News~

I met the boss of Vocare Media today. Everything went absolutely well I would say. I got the job as assistant videographer/editor. I'll be having my on job training next week by starting as a part-time first.

The boss, aka Sam, told me that since I've to start everything from scratch, he'll give me a try as a part-timer first. And he or the other staff would be teaching me on editing. *happy* He said that it's a tough job. Might have to work OT, or during the weekends. No worries, he'll give me a day off the following if I were to work during the weekends. So it's like OK with me. And he also did warned me about the pros and cons.

And yes, I'll be sacrificing my time with my precious Baby during the weekend at times. Whatever it is, I'm so going to make my way through towards full-time assistant videographer/editor. And I do hope I'll do a good job and finish everything the boss wanted by the time frame given.

I'll be working at 217 Selegie Road. So Evil Sister, you may find me for bean curd break during the lunch period. *hint hint* And Baby, you can drop by for a visit if I were to work OT.

So here's why I'm picked by the boss:

- He says that I sounded sincere in the job yesterday, but I just merely take it as a chat with Jamie, his assistant I presume.

- He says that I'm one of the 2 - 3 shortlisted candidates he has picked.

- And I say, because I do look that I wanted to learn on editing very very much. And yes, because of my answer saying I'll would prefer to work long term, has assured me a place as well. And because I could think creatively, which also assured me a place.

Here's the people I want to thank:

- God, for always be there with me. I prayed, and he answered my prayers. Thank you father, without you, I won't know how I would pull through.

- Baby, for always giving me good luck kisses for this interview and just plainly listening to my weird questions asked when I'm very nervous.

- BB, my daughter, for giving me good luck wishes and some tips on interview.

- Sia, although you wished me good luck today, but still I have to thank you. :D

- Loke, for not handing over the video I've been pestering her for 3 days. Anyway, without the video, I still make it.

- My family, for giving me the pressure of getting a job. =.=

- SGSS sisters, although only Yan Ling wished me luck, I know Cheng would wished me luck as well if she knew I would be having my interview.

- Vocare Media, for giving me this wonderful experience ahead. :D

God is always by our side

She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room. She said: 'How is my little boy ? Is he going to be all right ? When can I see him ?'

The surgeon said, 'I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it.'

Sally said, 'Why do little children get cancer ? Doesn't God care any more ? Where were you, God, when my son needed you ?'

The surgeon asked, 'Would you like some time alone with your son ? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university.'

Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair. 'Would you like a lock of his hair ?' the nurse asked.
Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally.

The mother said, 'It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the University for Study. He said it might help somebody else. 'I said no at first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will he lp some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom.' She went on, 'My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could.'

Sally walked out of Children's Mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the seat beside her in the car.

The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house. She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son's room.

She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them. She laid down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.

It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Laying beside her on the bed was a folded letter.

The letter said :
'Dear Mom, I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say 'I Love You' . I will always love you, Mom, even more with each day. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know.

Don't be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD ! And guess what, Mom ? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed.

Well, you know what Mom ? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter. I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him 'Where was He when I needed him ?' 'God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children.

Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool ? I have to give God His pen back now. He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm sure the food will be great.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore. The cancer is all gone. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery ! How about that ?

Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me.

---------------

After reading, I came to understand and see things clearly. God has always been by my side, whenever I'm feeling down, or when I've achieve something. He had never left me alone, even when I pray and speak to him, he is always by the side listening.

He called my grandaunt home on 15th March 2008, was because he couldn't bear to see her suffering the pain any longer. And now, I know she's living well. With angels guiding her up to heaven, and by the side of Jesus and God. So did I know, she's enjoying herself up in heaven, like the little boy in the story.

He's always there, always.

Packing of Room

Yesterday, I went over to Honey's place in the afternoon after her trip to Kovan to meet her mother. Upon hearing that she has to pack her always messy room, and her request of wanting me to be there, I went over.






That's her messy table, the other side of table was kind of messy too, but can say well-pack after my helping. But still there's one big load of mountain there, because there's no room to put all the big stuffs.






It's a good thing Honey is sending most of her unwanted soft toys to the Salvation Army. And so one part of her table looks neat. While packing, it would be quite irritated to have a very active dog like Hersheys who climbed up onto the table. And the end results was making it difficult to pack. =.=






After much packing, this is the outcome of the table. Doesn't it look much neater?
-----------------

Anyway, due to my loss of appetite recently, I've lost about 2kg. =.= My tightly worn Sheen Casio watch has started to went loose. Due to this, Honey insisted that I gain back to 45kg by next month 11th. If I didn't manage to, I'll get punished with something I totally terribly hate, which I do not know what it is. Even if I make a big fuss and throw my temper about, Honey would still insist that I did that freaking punishment. And so . . . I need to gain 2kg by next month. People, help me! Any tips on putting on weight and getting back my ever huge appetite? I don't want to get punish!
-----------------

Was chatting with my ex-classmate last night. We touched the topic on Loke being almost pregnant. And Goh was thinking if Loke would just bonk any guy she met. And thinking doesn't Loke would be afraid of contracting HIV? But still it doesn't concern me. I'm just concern about pregnancy before marriage. It's a good thing my other half is a female, no worries in getting pregnant. :D
-----------------

I waited since morning till 12noon for a package to arrive at my place which belongs to Honey. Freaking idiot, the thing came right at the dot on 12noon, and made me having not enough sleep. I slept on the uncomfortable sofa in the living room feeling cold. And got woken up by calls and sms-es by Honey. Not to mention, a sudden thunder in the late mornings.

I like and dislike rainy days. I like rainy days because I get to sleep and the weather is totally suitable to be asleep. But . . . The sudden roar of thunder and sudden strike of lightning will make me freak out or scare the hell out of me when I'm totally unprepared for it. Small thunders would be fine.

Rainy cause other problems too. I want to go swimming, I want to play basketball and badminton, I want to go cycling. But somehow, my bicycle has yet to get fixed. =.=
-----------------

I would hereby give my one minute of silence and condolences to Xueli and her family. Her father passed on, on Thursday (did I remember the date correctly? =x).

I do not know how to show my feelings towards such situation, so I can't write/type much about my feelings.
-----------------

I had nightmare, of 3 person died. I do not know how nor of the gender. But still, I hope this kind of nightmare wouldn't bug me. It's been quite some time since I last had such dreams.

Bless Me

Amen.

Good Friday

It is Good Friday today, a victorious resurrection requires death, where a new life blooms from decay, and it's beauty is known only in relation to ugliness. It is also good because we realize there is a death of death in the death of Christ.

The Burial

Woke up in the morning though I'm really tired. It's grandaunt's burial today and that we're all attending it. Dragged the lazy me off out of bed and we're ready to head off to the void deck grandaunt is at. Relatives are there when we reached.

Paid grandaunt my last respect before heading off for a sit with my sister next to my uncle. For these few days, we've been talking about the love grandaunt had shown to us. And we greatly appreciated what she have done. She opened her house to us, keeping at least 3 families in to stay before we find ourselves a new home. She cooked meals for all of us together with grandmother, and that was almost everyday. We reminisce of the times we've had and greatly miss this grandaunt of mine.

The last service for grandaunt started, we sang and we prayed. I didn't shed a tear till the last moment, where we take our last look at her. We cried like there's no tomorrow. Cousins who lived with her broke down, Aunt Pauline comforted all of us. The last good-bye to grandaunt, and we'll never know when we'll meet again.

We followed the bus to the Cemetery. The bus couldn't accommodate all of us, and thus some drives. I could see at least 5 to 6 cars following the bus behind, directly behind. The bus changed lane, and so all the cars did. The bus turned at an angle, and all the cars did. It sort of reminded me of those days where we chased S.H.E, except the cars moving are much slower and following the traffic rules.

Reaching the cemetery, we had our last song together and our last prayer, before grandaunt's coffin was being lowered down into earth. We threw the flower given to pay our last respect before we head off back home.

We greatly will and always would, miss grandaunt a lot. We know we'll meet someday again, up in heaven.

May God Bless us all.

Amen!

I attended Grandaunt's funeral service today as I've missed yesterday. Tomorrow is her burial, and yes, I'm glad to know she left in peace.

I do not know of what my parents may think of me, or if they had already know that I've accepted Jesus Christ. Grandaunt is a nice person, she wants us to spread the words of God.

And so we will.

To my Dearest 4th Grandaunt

Dearest 4th Grandaunt,

I have yet to say goodbye to you, nor have I been there in time to. I would proudly say, you're the one of the best grandaunt I ever had.

Though my memories of you isn't much, but they'll always be with me. It was sad to hear that you're back home with Father Lord. I hope you will enjoy your eternal life up in heaven, a home where Father Lord has prepared for all His children.

I am happy that you've cared for me and watch me grow to be who I am now. I am contented with all those love, care and concern you've showered me. Though I maybe a naughty girl when I was young, running around pretending to be a cop and shouted at you for no reason, you didn't get angry nor tell me off; but to look at me with your ever fierce eyes.

Grandaunt, I would miss those times where we're sort of at the backyard in Bridport Ave 96 and 94. Those times where I watch you making those new years goodies. From love letters to Kuay Ba Lu. I've yet to learn them from you, nor get the recipe, but the taste of them will always be with me. I maybe the naughty girl which might be of the way while you bake, but I thank God that I managed to taste the ever nicest love letter and Kuay Ba Lu. I will and always would miss these goodies which I would have never be able to taste them again.

There are many of times where you would scold me when I did something, I know you care and I'm truly grateful now. I might not have the most vivid memories you gave. But you'll always live in me. Someone whom I love and cherish most.

It was sad to hear of your departure, but I know Father Lord has decided to bring you home, as it is the time you would and should have been home. Grandaunt, up in heaven, your new home. You won't have to suffer like you had on this earth, nor will you have to worry about the clothes you wear and the food you would be eating. As Father Lord has already done everything, and is waiting for the right time to bring His children home.

Dearest Grandaunt, I might see you up in heaven in many years to come. I will never know when Father Lord will bring me home. But I would say, I'm not obedient enough to enter the gate of heaven. I've strayed away from God in the power of Satan I think. Grandaunt, I'll try with all my might to fight away Satan, and be on the right path where Father Lord has once taken me to. To know Him better and do what He wants me to.

I'll miss everything about you. I am sad deep inside when I heard of your departure. Somehow I felt like crying yet there's no tears. I've also come to realize you have been home and I should be happy about it, because you're safe up in heaven, your new home. The home where you'll have your name pinned on the door. A home where you can leave your doors open and not worry about robbery nor burglary.

Grandaunt, may you rest in peace.
I'll miss you lots.

With lots of love,
your grandniece, Michelle.

A Letter From God

Child,

All I do, I do in your best interest. In fact, I love you so much that I often look beyond your small requests and give you far better gifts than you ask Me to give. I do supremely above all you ask or think. And why? You are a member of My Royal Family and I think you deserve the best! So will you stop fretting about those "unanswered" prayers? ! AM giving you what you really want - not what you think you want. Do you mind?

Cheerfully,
Dad

Nothing in Particular

CEFC has a pop out window on my birthday itself to wish me. And it's only once. Upon hearing that I wanted 19 times, my dearest daughter, Lix, and Val started flooding my inbox at CEFC. See, that's nice isn't it?

Not to mention, I've received something from one of the member in CEFC as well. Thanks a lot.







Isn't it nice?

I wanted to watch [50 First Dates]. But apparently, my sister and her boyfriend has been 'booking' the television every weekend makes it impossible for me to watch. And so, I'm giving this movie a miss once again. T.T

--------------------------

- Still thinking of how am I going to send the message across to the audience for my TV Production

- I'm thinking visually, yet nothing seems to be out from my little mind

- I'm still waiting for my sister's boyfriend to enter National Service ASAP, so that I won't be locked out during the weekends, which is hopefully.

--------------------------

I thought Christians shouldn't be materialistic, as in not to get used to the things we have here on Earth. I mean, God has done preparing a home for us in heaven, with everything we needed. But I don't think that's what I'm seeing now.

My uncle told me that money isn't everything. What's more important is being good to your family, and be a filial daughter. Which I agree of course.

But what I see from my sister and her boyfriend was of a different thing. They see money as the most important thing. I'm not sure why. My sister wanted her pay to increase, which is of the common thing as to survive and prepare in future use. Her boyfriend chooses commando for National Service instead of Navy, as Marine Engineering pays higher outside than Singapore Navy. Which of course, he thinks it would be better to work outside and earn more.

For my sister earning more means being rich. Can be a tai tai at home. Have a well designed home with expensive furnitures and utensils. Have a good vehicle be it motorbike or a car. It must be a good car and an expensive ones.

Why like that? God doesn't made us to be greedy over such things. He gave what we deserve. He gave us more than we need on earth. He blessed us with everything he could give. But why must we be so materialistic?

For me, I think as long as I've enough money to survive, as in not to let myself and my other half goes hungry, I'm already satisfied. I don't need big house, nice and expensive furniture, nice and expensive cars, not being a tai tai at home. All I want was, a happy family, a cosy small home, a bike for transportation around the neighborhood is actually more than enough for me. But if I were to start a family of my own, maybe I should start thinking of the other alternatives.

Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. - 1 Timothy 6:17-19

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have. - Hebrews 13:5

Firstly, I thank Father Lord for answering our prayers. Grandaunt has finally returned home after being admitted into the hospital for days. Though I only went to visit her 3 times, but I can see that she's feeling much better when she was first admitted last week.

He was always there when we prayed. He was there to listen to our prayers. He was always there, to drive away our fears and comfort us when we shed our tears.

Amen!

Secondly, I wish to be just happy everyday.

Thirdly, I'm off to bed. Night.

Exams are over

Exams are over. Finally! Last paper for yesterday which was on Advertising. Apparently, I read through the notes I had with me. I didn't really study and try to understand and know of all the terms in it. Nothing actually went into my head. I thought why not just read through at least I'll remember some things in it. And yes, that was how I went off for my paper yesterday.

I would say, all 4 papers, I'm not really confident in it. I didn't really study quite hard due to Lunar New Year mood. And now, I'm officially exam-free till my next certificate that I'll be taking.

Spend time with my dearest after my paper, though mood wasn't good for her. In other words, two little girls will be eating grass. So don't date us out. =x In order to contact us, please e-mail Mrs Lee at, sakura0_0@hotmail.com

Non important stuff will not be entertained. Mrs Lee Hotline will be on for 24hours, except that there's no guarantee that she'll pick up your calls.

Anyway, I meet up my father in the evening at Compass Point. And I got myself a new phone from starhub! Dad has a $200 voucher which he used it to get a new line for my brother. And I used this opportunity to get the phone I really really want. Though he didn't say much, I know he dote on me.

He almost get me a new handphone pouch for my new phone, and reminded me not to scratch my phone. Which means, he still cares for me. :D

Dad got me a new video camera for my upcoming TV production for my graduation project. Upon hearing that I can't manage to find one in such a short time, and the school doesn't rent out any, he decided to get me one. The one he wanted to buy was out of stock, and thus he got the other of the same brand but of different price.

He said that I have to practice filming and when I'm getting better and has improved, he'll consider getting me a better one as a reward. But. . . I would want to earn and buy a better one for myself when I'm ready.

After having dinner with my dearest, I went home. Not long after, we received a call and headed down to the hospital immediately. Grandaunt condition worsened. And yes, she might leave us anytime. God will bring her home with Him anytime. But still we hope for a miracle as we would want to spend more time with grandaunt.

Many cried, including my cousins who came much later than us. I held back mine, and I don't know why.

Looking at the machine that shows the number of heartbeat scares me out. Normally I see these through dramas, and I've never expected myself to meet one in real life. It is really scary as you'll never know what will happen. The number increases and decreases. It's quite scary when I see the number decreases.

May God Bless her.

Baptize

Visited grandaunt today upon knowing that she had entered hospital once again, and that her condition isn't good. And she was baptized today at the hospital. The pastor from Aunt's church came with a few friends. Amen.

God Bless my grandaunt, and hopefully miracle will happen. Jesus Christ will always be with grandaunt. Glad to hear that grandaunt has accepted Jesus Christ. And I know where she'll be after life. Heaven, the place where Christians goes to.

But there's always judgement done before entering the gates of Heaven, was what I know. There's different place in Heaven, a place for disobedient Christian, and the heavenly place for the obedient Christian. I'm not sure which category I'll fall into. But I will try and build up my faith as I follow the words of Father Lord.

Many thought that Christians are brain-washers, who goes around chanting Hallelujah and persuading/forcing people to accept Jesus Christ. But they got the misconception of Christians. We don't go around chanting Hallelujah, we don't go around persuading/forcing people to accept Jesus Christ.

We go around sharing the words of gospel, sharing what the Bible has taught us. Sharing with them the miracles of God's wonderful works. We don't force people to accept Jesus Christ, but to tell them what will happened after they have accepted Jesus Christ. We give them the decision to make, we give them the time to think. We don't press them for an answer, it is their own free will to accept Jesus Christ or not.

But of course, when one of our friends or close ones accepted Jesus Christ, we're more than happy as we know where we will be after life and becomes one big family.

God has given us a home up in heaven, with our name on the house, was what I read from [Heaven is so Real], which was translated into many different languages. In heaven, we'll see almost everything, almost the same as what we have on earth. God has gone through quite a lot to prepare what He wanted for His children. He has showered us with love, and hopes we'll spread the love He gave us to people around us.

Exams is ending soon. Real soon, just 3 more papers and I'm done. Though I'm already tired and doesn't have the mood to study, hopefully I'd be able to score well. Went to Vivo after visiting grandaunt at the hospital, bought a set of clothes for my Bear, which she looks cute in. *hugs*

The Habit Of A Daily Quiet Time (4)

How To Begin A Daily Quiet Time?

1. Select a specific time.

The best time to have a quiet time is when I am at my best.
Select a time you are the most alert.

It demonstrates that meeting with God is your first priority. You are giving God the best part of your day. You are likely to be more rested, your mind is less cluttered, and it is often the quietest time.

Whatever time you set, be consistent.
How long should a quiet time be? There are three guidelines:

a. Start with 15minutes and let it grow.
b. Don't keep watching the clock.
c. Emphasize quality, not quantity.

2. Choose a quiet place.

Luke 22:39 (GNB)
Jesus left the city and went, as He usually did, to the Mount of Olives . . . to pray.

Mark 1:35
Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.

3. Gather the resources you will need.

a. A Bible with readable print and a translation you can understand.
b. A notebook to write down what the Lord speaks to you about, and keep your prayer list.
c. A songbook, guitar or CD player to help you in your praise and worship.

4. Beginning with the right attitude

a. Reverence

Ps. 46:10
Be still, and know that I am God . . .

b. Expectancy

Ps. 119:18 (TLB)
Open my eyes to see wonderful things in Your Word.

c. Willingness to obey.

John 7:17 (GNB)
Whoever is willing to do what God wants will know . . .

5. Follow a simple plan.

A simple 15-minute plan to help you get started in your quiet time:

a. Relax
Be still and quiet. Slow down. Prepare your heart. Take a few deep breaths and wait on God. Sing a song of praise or worship.

b. Read
Begin reading the Bible where you left off the day before. Read until you feel God has told you something. Then stop and think about it.

c. Reflect
Think about what the passage means to your life. Write down your thoughts. You may want to write out a verse that speaks to you in a special way and commit it to memory.

d. Record
Write out a personal application statement that is personal, practical, and measurable.

If I can't say it out or write it down, I haven't really thought it through.

e. Request
Conclude your quiet time by talking to God about what He has shown you. Ask Him by faith for the items on your prayer list.

Good Luck Chuck

Rated 21. Charlie aka Chuck, was a good luck charm to all women as after making love with them, the women managed to find their true love and get married soon after. Due to this, Charlie was afraid of making love with the girl he loves. Thus he tried all ways to be with the girl he loves.

The plot was alright. Don't really like the part where there's lots of small squares of different scenes in one big screen. Other than that, the movie was alright.

The Habit Of A Daily Quiet Time (3)

The Purpose Of A Daily Quiet Time

1. To give devotion to God.

Ps. 29:2
Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

2 Chr. 31:21 (GNB)
(Hezekiah) was successful, because everything he did . . . he did in a spirit of complete loyalty and devotion to his God.

God deserves our devotion (Rev. 4:11).
God desires our devotion (John 4:23).

2. To get direction from God.

Ps. 25:4-5
Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me . . .

Two things to do in a quiet time:

a. Consider your way

Prov. 4:26
Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be establish.

Prov. 3:6
In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

b. Commit your day

Ps. 37:5
Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.

3. To gain delight in God.

Ps. 37:4
Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Ps. 16:11
You will show me the path of life; in Your presence in fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

The fact is, the better I get to know Christ, the more I love Him.

The objective of your quiet time is not to study about Christ, but to actually spend time with Him. That is the difference between a quiet time and attending Bible study:

a. Quiet time is spending time with God.
b. Bible study is learning more about God.

4. To grow daily like God.

2 Pet. 1:3-4 (TLB)
For as you know Him better, (God) will give you, through his great power, everything you need for living a truly good life . . . (He has given) the promise to save us . . . and to give us His own character!

Acts 4:13
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John . . . they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.

I came across something interesting while someone gave me an application on sexual personality test on Facebook. And reading through the questions listed in the test, I came across, Sex Club. Being curioused, I sms-ed Dear asking what it is. Somehow, she has no idea and I googled it.

Here's the findings from Wikipedia :

Sex clubs are clubs where people can have sexual intercourse with one another in public areas. The term can also be used more generally to refer to establishments such as a gay bathhouse where sexual activity often takes place in private rooms. Larger establishments may also include the facilities of an ordinary nightclub such as a bar and a dance floor.

Sex clubs differ from brothels in that, while sex club customers pay a fee to enter the club, they have sex with other customers rather than with staff of the establishment. Some sex clubs cater exclusively to male/female couples, others to 'gang bangs' where several male customers have sex with a female customer, others to gay men or lesbians. Some clubs do not make any restrictions on the sexuality of their clients, and other clubs hold different kinds of events for different sexualities on different nights.

Typical sex clubs also differ from gay bathhouses in that have few to no private rooms, encouraging sexual activity to take place in the open. In an effort to curb the spread of sexually transmitted infections, some jurisdictions have banned bathhouses, with their private rooms, while allowing sex clubs, where sexual activity can be monitored to ensure that safe sex guidelines are being followed.

Most sex clubs in the U.S. and Canada do not serve alcohol, but some allow customers to bring their own. Some sex clubs have formal membership and requirements that can include membership fees, showing proof of identity, attending a formal orientation, providing STD test results or showing that one is part of a stable, long term relationship and is attending with that partner. Clubs with such requirements tend to cater to the swinging subculture. Other clubs are open to any person willing to pay an admission fee.

A similar type of club is a masturbation club in which members, either single-gender or mixed, masturbate together in public or private rooms. Sexual intercourse is generally prohibited in such clubs. See also safe sex party.

There is also a very large and growing group of private sex clubs across the U.S. and around the world that do not operate in a specified location. These organizations focus on private parties in homes or rented facilities and make use of the Internet to build their membership. There is usually a small door fee and most are invitation-only.

Former 2004 Republican United States Senate candidate Jack Ryan from Illinois dropped out of the election because of a political scandal involving allegations that he took his wife Jeri Ryan to sex clubs and asked her to have sex with him there, while others could watch.[1]

One organization of such clubs is NASCA International, which lists affiliated and independent sex clubs, swing dances and events in the District of Columbia and 43 states, plus 38 clubs in Canada, and in 25 other nations.

------------------

Interesting isn't it? There's Sex Club in Canada and in the States as well as the District of Columbia. There's even Gay's Sex Club which is in private rooms. I was wondering if Singapore has it. But I'm not sure if there is.

Wouldn't it be weird to see people making out in a club? You're making out, so does others, not to mention, all are able to see what you're doing. They don't serve alcoholic drinks which is interesting as mostly are all busy making out. There's no time for a drink unless they're thirsty.

Sex Club helps to promote safe sex as well. That's something interesting as well. That means, we'll see the declining of STD. Maybe Singapore can try promoting safe sex as well in their own ways isn't it? In this way, lesser STD rates for the year. Private rooms has been barred in certain areas, in order to monitor that the people in the club are having safe sex. Which is a good thing, but still weird.

Imagine you're making out with your partner, and someone was monitoring if you're having safe sex. I mean, it's totally weird for someone to look at what you're busy at with your partner. It's totally weird. I can't imagine how these people could continue making out with the presence of others as well as someone monitoring you.

The Habit of A Daily Quiet Time

The Apostles' Creed


I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
His only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of
the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day He rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again
to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy *catholic Church,
the communion of the saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

*Catholic means 'universal' and 'according to true doctrine.' It does not refer to the Roman Catholic Church.
------------------

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and
the power and the glory forever. Amen.
--------------------

A quiet time is a daily time I set aside to be alone with God to get to know Him through the Bible and prayer.

The Importance of A Daily Quiet Time

Your time alone with God should be the top priority in your schedule for five reasons :

1. We were created to have fellowship with God.

Gen. 1:27
So God created man in His own image...

Rev. 3:20
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me."

2. Jesus died to make the relationship with God possible.

When Adam sinned, that relationship was broken. God send His Son in order to restore that relationship again.

1 Cor. 1:9 (TLB)
God... has invited you into this wonderful friendship with his Son, Christ our Lord.

3. Personal time alone with God was Jesus' source of strength.

Luke 5:16
So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.

4. Every person who has been effective in service for God developed this habit.

5. You cannot be healthy, growing Christian without spending time with God.

Matt. 4:4
But He answered and said, "... Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."

Job 23:12
... I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.

Ps. 119:9
How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word.
