cambodia missions 2006
Friday, June 30, 2006 |12:04 AM
its confirmed. it's final. i am going for the cambodia missions trip this sep. yes and i mean it.this sep 2006. dates are from 1-8 sep. mixed feelings about it initially. my heart is that i've always wanted to go for missions in cambodia. weird right? when my unit always had missions in south thailand, indonesia etc. it just doesn't interest me until 1 sunday..i chanced upon the church bulletin and saw--> cambodia missions! WOW!! my heart was like REALLY!! but it wasn't organised by my sub d.a little skeptical i asked my cg leader, james. can he help me ask if i could go? yes. i finally met up with the leader and found out more. many have asked me..why the interest in cambodia?? i guess the heart was set about 2 1/2 years ago. while i was auditing this client, he wrote a book about his missions trip. and this book was on cambodia. many pictures taken. and @ that moment i felt yes, this is the place i want to go for my short term missions.
about 2 years later, my ex-colleague, francine also went cambodia for missions and she was telling me.."this is the real essence of love." how an elegant girl like her, so glam so neat can just go.and when i saw her photos it was like.."hey francine, you so untidy ah!!" but i could felt the love there which is what the world lacks. actually even after i met up with the leader in charge for the cambodia missions last sunday, my heart was still not sure..until now. i am 100% sure. Cambodia here i come in Sep 2006. why?? Francine shared of her cambodia trip exactly after 1 year she went there...and so coincidentally she posted it up now. The timing is just so right as i am deciding whether i really wanted to go this time round. Francine shared this on her blog...
"Sharing with you one of my life's greatest experiences in all of 25 years...
A picture speaks a thousand words, and how much more if its a picture of God's loveliest creation - Man. What sets us apart from a plant or an animal, is the abilty to embrace love in its entirety of giving and receiving, to nurture and in turn, to remember those who have touched us. Love covers a multitude of sins, it forgives and overcomes, transcending all physical, mental and societal barriers.
Hardened by the brutalities of their every-day lives during the reign of the Khmer Rouge regime, Cambodians of those times knew not what it means to love and to be loved. Unfortunately, the emotional scars endured by them did not diminish over time. Every Cambodian kid we met during the trip had a sad story to tell. Violence had become a way of living, a means of survival. Aggression was the face of many a Cambodian child.
However, looking at the pictures of the the Cambodian kids taken during the games we had organised, I am compelled to think otherwise. What I perceive are reflections of hope and innocence, and the willingness to accept love from those who were ready to give.
Take time to consider this... You are born in a country free of strife, blessed with luxury beyond your basic needs, and surrounded by family and friends. Can life be any better? Yours would be a living paradise to any Cambodian kid. But you are still not happy. Until you take a step back from the deafening competition to ponder over the times you have hurt that scumbag of a colleague with your words and actions, the number of times you have missed a family gathering or lost your friend(s) to pettiness... you will never understand joy.
The only price we have to pay for joy is to simply love. To love your neighbour as yourself, and to love that enemy as much as you do, the neighbour. Because love is sacrificial and giving without expecting to receive, you find more contentment in life and through contentment, joy.
Trust me, you've been blessed in more ways than you know. "
I guess it's all these things that confirm the thought yes, i am going. This time round, i am going to leave behind my make up, my beautiful clothes, my gucci bag and get out of my comfort zone. This is what i want to experience, the real essence of love. guess this time round, it will be my turn to be to be reduced to a state of disarray, unkempt hair, mismatched clothes, unflattering poses and the list goes on...But being a mission/volunteer is never about looking glamarous 24/7, it's about reaching out with a genuine heart and soul. *smiles*
arrival of gucci bag
Tuesday, June 27, 2006 |10:18 PM

"The Woman"
|7:04 PM
a little about my daybefore entering into my main topic. Helped linden deliver document for partner's signature and guess what someone thought i am the new secretary.. i wish leh..hahah..and i don't mind..k. anyway was "busy" doing my e-learning today and linden ask me to do planning for next week job..and he was sitting next to me coaching me how to do the planning and he started to use my mouse..and guess what..he was like "HOW DO YOU USE THIS THING???" hahah..."where is the left & right click?" know why?? coz this is my mouse-->
Isn't my mouse amazing?? cute right??
next up was pondering over why i ain't really keen to meet mr t recently. personally, i guess i am tired..physically tired? no. but it's the emotions & feelings which are tired. some how i felt i don't know what he is thinking many times. although he says he likes me..but yet i can't feel any serious-ness in what he says. hmzz =( think i need a break. i guess i already know he isn't the right guy..but i would say this time round he really treats me much better than the last time.
nowback to my main topic..someone send me this powerpoint today entitled -"The Woman" and it's real interesting.
"Woman has strengths that amazes man.
She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.
She holds happiness, love and opinions.
She smiles when feeling like screaming.
She sings when she feels like crying, crys when she is happy and laughs when she is afraid.
She fights for what she belives in.
Stand up against injustice.
She doesn’t take “no” for an answer, when she can see a better solution.
She gives herself so her family can thrive.
She takes her friend to the doctor if she is afraid.
Her love is unconditional
She cries when her kids are victorious.
She is happy when her friends do well.
She is glad when she hears of a birth or a wedding.
Her heart is broken when a next of kin or friend dies.
But she finds the strength to get on with life.
She knows that a kiss and a hug can heal a broken heart.
There is only one thing wrong with her
She forgets what she is worth... "

often misunderstood
Tuesday, June 20, 2006 |9:18 PM
woke up to anothe rainy day again..today rain is heavier and i feel lazier. how i wish the rain comes during the weekend then i can sleep in longer..woke up later than usual today. so in the end reach work @940. today decided not to take the cab don't wanna waste $$. boring day @ work as usual.nothing much to do. sometimes i feel so boredzzz..@ least when i was in external audit..my life is more busy. but now its like so super free i don't know what to do..
Deloitte post peak bash is on..30 June @ Bar None. confirmed my attendance today.quite a handful of people going. I confirm go coz i wanna see how Deloitte people are after work man.
someone help me..my computer is infected with spyware..anyone can help me remove it?? i'm a nerd when it comes to computers so please help!! brother dearest is in HK enjoying himself i suppose. *sigh* how i wish i can be like him. carefree no work but still got $$ coming in..
back to my subject. today got this weird feeling while i was taking a slow walk home. many times i feel very misunderstood by people.friends, strangers etc. people commented that i look fierce, unfriendly, ice queen, dao, "xiao jie"and the list never ends.. and i wish they really know me deeper instead of seeing me on the surface. i dun smile doesn't means i am fierce/unfriendly/dao..i dun smile becoz i dun know you well..i dun like smiling to strangers.another thing is the "xiao jie" thingy. why does everybody thinks i must only have branded stuff. oh well i admit @ times i do go for it.but if you notice many of my stuff are as normal as other people.i dun like tiffany rings hanging around me.. i dun carry and LV bag around. darn i wish people understood me more! i am as real as you see me. AUTHENTIC is the word to describe me. so people don't label me those "unfriendly" terms anymore.
saw "him" online yesterday but didn't talk to him. have been thinking through as to the reasons i like him. is it just based on emotions/feelings/looks? definitely not looks.confirmed + guarantee coz i never felt he was good looking in the first place. if he's good looking i would have notice him when i first got to know him. i seriously don't think it's based on emotions/feelings. well @ least when i see him i dun have the "heart beating unusually fast" syndrome. when i first got to know him it was purely as a friend/brother. that's all.. k no more about him. as usual leave it to God. =) nitez

Cg is @ RV house..immediately got Cab in front of me..manage to reach there in less than 15 mins *clap clap * next thing was celine came for CG and praise God..i was just as shocked to see her..coz her skin has healed..was teasing her.asking her is this the 90%?? and she just laugh =).yeap God has healed Celine.. thank Him for her faith..
Celine..finally smiling
Next up is another piece of good news..was reading my cousin's blog earlier on and amazed to see that she is attending church =)...as i look back i see how amazing God is moving in my family + extended family life..first was my aunt living in aus who became a christian & now i see that my cousins are also claiming the christianity faith..what can i say?? amazing!!! God works wonders and i continue to believe that soon my whole family will be saved! =)

1) Hospitality
2) Service
3) Mercy
4) Helps

Now that i know my giftings i must make use of them liao.
Saw "him" in church yesterday. He came late, so did i. But he was sitting @ another row. don't know why he look so sian sian. hmzz i wonder...finally told shireen on sat about that slight liking for him..but assured that this time i don't wanna do things the wrong way..in fact..this time i want it to be right with God..or should i put it do it God's way..if doors are open..then i'll be happy else i'll just leave it..

Thursday, June 15, 2006 |11:58 PM
Many people would have guessed so..i dislike reading. But, but, as i was looking through my book shelf late last night, i saw the few books which i've half completed. yeah..one of the book is entitled - "When God writes your Love Story" by Eric & Leslie Ludy. Bought this book 2 years back but never had the chance to finish reading this. Decided to pick it up again but this time, i am going to start right from the beginning as deep down inside my heart there is this desire to gain a fresh perspective into BGR. Yeah..i'm talking about BGR. it's one area whereby i'm very vunerable..don't deny that of coz' there's this desire that i want to get married & have my own family..but the important thing i realise through so many heart aches is that my love story has to be written by the Author of Love Himself =)
As i read the 1st chapter it says:
"How many years had I longed and urgently searched for true love? How many nights had I laid awkae, dreaming of a beautiful romance- a lasting relationship that wouldn't end in heartache?
"...I had given pieces of my heart, my emotions, and even my body. ...God, where are You in this? my heart cried silent. I'm Your child. All my life, You know I have longed for something beautiful. I have searched for true love. Does a pure and perfect romance even exist in this dark world of lust and perversion and sin? "
Countless times, i recall myself getting upset over these..but again & again i'm reminded that " God is the Author of True Love. He's the Creator of Romance." Will i let Him write my love story?
The answer is Yes..I'm tired of those love-y love-y type of relationship. Those cheap thrilled kind. =)
Next up..church camp photos!! yes.finally my laziness got me. transfer the photos finally!!phew..took me long yeah..shall just upload some of the nicer ones..

Back from Kawan Go Melaka.. Back to Work..
Tuesday, June 13, 2006 |8:12 PM
Well..i'm back from Church Camp 2006..as i usually say..time flies..so fast and church camp 2006 is over. It's my 3rd church camp in Hope. As i told Andrew, it's a miracle that you still see me @ this camp.despite the many difficulties that i've faced the past year..ups & downs..life like a roller coaster.or should i say: "Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you gonna get." anyway.. i think i thank God, my Lord, King, Saviour & Best Friend for the patience & love towards me that make me last so long & endured through all the troubled times. =). enough of all these...k church camp 2006 theme was.."Kawan Go Melaka". Besides making new friends there are many things installed. should i say the objectives i set for this camp is met? Yeap.. okie..church camp never fails to prove something..it isn't easy to live under the same roof together.. this time my room mate was--> Miss Yeo Keng Suan. Now i know her secrets..nothing weird about her. In fact, glad that Mr James Ng made me shared a room with her. Miss Yeo is someone whom i never really know despite her being in the same unit as me. But through this camp, i actually hug her when i wake up in the morning.haha!!!
Last night of the church camp, slept with my dearest shepherd..Shireen..finally she saw the true me..in fact she said i was "sleep talking". she never understood what i was mumbling about. but just mentioned that i let out a big yell and scream "very heavy!! very heavy!!" haha..
Besides all the sleeping part..we had our interesting moments..of coz the unit had a mascot..and that's our "Flying Turtle" which we say represents our UL--> Teck Keong.. On top of that, we won the 2nd runner up for the Kawan ShowCase,presenting-----> "Bubblegum" whereby William, Caleb acted.
Next thing was the "Find our Kawan" part. All of us were given a Kawan to buy a gift. My Kawan is a girl from NG14 called Pei Fun..=) Glad that i've finally known who she is..and she's not another face in church =)..in fact i had a photo with her..Next up, i was complaining why my Kawan never come and find me!!!! =( until the Aloha Nite then i knew..and guess what..my Kawan is someone whom i serve together before in the ushering team, Han Yew from NG14.
Besides the usual teachings,P & W that we had, there was also alot of games involved.. enjoyed the "speed frienship" thingy. Met alot of people from other units. Sherena from NG10B1, Wei Wei from NG14A4, Grace from Ng2B2..and many more..many friendships were made and i'm so glad that the church isn't just a place where everyone are just faces and the friendship is those which touch surface only.
One of the most embarassed moments during this church camp is that i was made the "ding ding" girl..thanks to Dennis..actually it was more of a punishment for me being itchy handed.. haiz.i went to play with the untouchable monkeys on display..and he saw it..so as a punishment, he made me go "ding ding" people 15 mins before lesson time to remind people to go for teachings.now people see me, they all say "You are the Ding Ding girl!!!" =(. Other stuff was that my photogenic face which i took with Angela appeared on the super big screen during Angela unit presentation...was called a "traitor" jokingly by Andrew. now i shot to fame with that photo.
During our unit chill out, we tried practising a song together. but with the short practice, one word to say BAD! everybody was out of tune and of coz i was super out.Imagine asking me to sing bass! how can that be!!! i am a super soprano loh!! On our way back, there was again alot of singing.i was super tired by then so didn't join them. but pity the other unit people who were on the same bus as us. and kena tortured by all of us. our singing, laughing..I think if our unit continue to be like that no unit dare to kawan us anymore.
To sum it all up, we watch World Cup as a Unit together also (some of the people zzz). Shireen, Jarain & Me were all in our various jacket (see photo below)..and Heng Heng.Germany won the opening match. Else Nic says i either have to stop wearing it or turn it over to wear. phew...
Finally, finally..it was an encounter with God..Personally i came to this church camp with a heavy heart. But really thank God that this church camp, besides releasing unforgiveness, i also learn that for the life we always wanted, lots of planning is involved. =) Lastly, true joy has to come from God. =)

| The Keys to Your Heart |
You are attracted to obedience and warmth.
In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.
You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.
Your ideal relationship is traditional. Without saying anything, both of you communicate with your hearts.
Your risk of cheating is high. You can't resist desire and lust.
You think of marriage as something that will confine you. You are afraid of marriage.
In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted. |
I could sing of your love forever...

yes..I could sing of your love forever..but it's not human love..it's God's love..don't know..this morning while i was preparing for work..i downloaded this song..and when i heard it..it say:
"Over the mountains & the seas
Your river runs with love for me
And i will open up my heart
and let the Healer set me free.."
This version i downloaded is not the normal version..it's the kids version..so sounds quite catchy..anyway..as you can see from my previous post..i've been super agitated by many things that happen during the past few months..but i realise through so many things..1 thing that never changes is God's love for me..every time its me who have move..not Him =) and i should be so glad He never changes no matter how i change..no matter how i move..He is always there.
The anger for the person is gone..to speak i've already forgiven him..though it's still unforgettable.but it's a real lesson learnt...learnt to communicate things to my parents..and seek their advices..mostly importantly.i know what to look out for in a guy..=) glad that God brought me through these UPs and Downs to make me know that He is ever loving..and never changing..
Besides talking about the song..life has pretty been peaceful these few days..got my first pay check with DT this mth..not much..so got to be a little more careful with $$ this month..church camp is just 1 week away..fast..phew..looking forward to it infact =)
Life in DT is nothing special..as usual nothing to do except to do some data entry, x-ref, amend reports..maybe i would considered myself a "high class" admin consultant. hahah..not bad get paid S$3k+ to do such stufff...looking forward to my thailand trip in July though *clap clap*
Not forgetting GSS is on! yes..it's the Great Singapore Sale..nothing to buy though..every where is packed with HUMANS!!! grabbing & long queues to try..for those who know me..unless it's real real cheap..else don't waste my time i rather buy it @ a little more ex..then queue!!! and withstand the mess!!else if i know my size i just grab and go! haven really been shopping in fact..nothing much to buy no craving unusual me...=)
