Merry Xmas. Off to China (26 Dec - 6 Jan 07)
Monday, December 25, 2006 |11:43 PM

Merry Xmas to all.Sorry for not updating my blog. Been real busy the past week. Was down with cold. Damn jialat. The day i didn't work i fell sick. Shireen said i can't be a tai tai coz once i stop working i fall sick. haiz.. Went for facial last week and shop for christmas presents. Didn't buy for many people this year due to a lack of time. But received lots of presents leh..this year alot of people gave me photo frames. (what does it mean ah?) I know i love taking photos and i will utilise these photo frames. (next time those who come my house don't complain!!).
The CG came to my place for pot luck today. Seems like its been a long time ever since i had pot luck. the last time i had it was when i was back studying in down under. These few days been busy packing my room. My new table will be coming when i am in china..Dad and Mum nag me non stop to pack my stuff saying my room is like a GARANG GUNI room. i finally threw everything into boxes and told them don't touch it till i am back. Almost done with my luggage packing. Will be flying off to China early today @ 740am. Won't be around for the New Year but my heart will definitely miss my family and friends back here.
Guess the time in china will be a good time to reflect for the past year and thinking of more breakthroughs in 2007. On the overall, i can say despite the hiccups here and there in 2006. God has been good & faithful. Shireen if u you reading, one of my hopes for the coming year is that you will be more open and share with us how you feel. ok?? In fact i hope to develop deeper relationships with people and not those scratch surface type. Won't rattle on.some photos for my Xmas 2006.

My Presents..Cards. Books. Photoframes etc

Merry Xmas and a Blessed 2007 ahead of all of you! muacks love ya people! Thanks for being there for me all the time =)






did i do the right thing?
Tuesday, December 19, 2006 |9:38 PM

on my last day today i rebuked the guy i like in the office. initially i felt bad but @ the end of it i think i did the right thing. how it all happened?? let me tell u all..i was doing my clearance today and i returned my identity card to the HR..then he said:

Alvyn: "Why you return wor? Should just declare lost then replace. Pay $10 only. Then still can go gym."

Me: "huh? how can you do that? It's a matter of integrity."

I don't want to appear super spiritual to him. But i want to bring across the message this to him that he shouldn't be doing this. it's not right. As i said, our public & private lives should be consistent. Sorry Alvyn, this may not sound pleasing to you. But i still have to do it.




How can i not trust Him?
Monday, December 18, 2006 |9:10 PM

For the past 2 weeks in church, Michael shared this phase - " God will make a way when there seems to be no way." I knew it was for me..God knows what i am thinking and He knows deep in my heart what i am wishing for. Yet @ this moment i ain't seeing anything. Today while doing QT again it was repeated " In everything by prayer and suppliction with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." I don't deny i felt angry with God. I don't understand, can't see why the answer seems to be like wait. i also don't know how long must i wait. Then i'll see the door open. Yet when i think about it i know that since God has given me the best gift which is Jesus what will He withhold from me. I don't know and i hope to see the door open soon.

it's about 1 more week before i'll be flying to Shanghai for work =) will be spending the New Year there alone..with no close friends around me. mixed feelings yes true enough i am sad. coz i want to be close to my family and friends. anyway its less than a week to Xmas..and 2007 is coming. I attended the last wedding for 2006..finally..been attending countless weddings since Sep so glad that no more..This last wedding of the year is one which made me teared. why? well i saw how lives are transformed. The groom used to be someone who is super fierce.We use to be in the same CG back in Perth in 2000. AND he scolds me..and calls me names..say i unfriendly and ah lian...and he is someone who fights, races and clubs! From someone who quarrels with me so often to someone who serves in church as a leader i really applaud him. A CHANGED man and i mean it. When i see him now..i can't deny that God is real and yes He is! There is no denial about it. Ben is like a big brother to me..always encouraging & challenging me to do more for God and evaluate & constantly reflect on my own life. Remembering he once told me : " If you have to stand @ the stage to worship God, your public life must reflect your private life." Indeed Ben is a changed man. I appreciate this friendship with him truly. During the wedding also met up with my pastor back from my church in Perth..and so happy to see his younger daughter--> Kateland. Some photos for you all.

But for your grace (Amazing Grace)
Sunday, December 17, 2006 |5:34 PM

Verse:

But for Your Grace
I could not be saved
But for Your Grace
I would go my way

I'm forver grateful
That You have been faithful
To me Lord
For Your Amazing Grace (repeat verse)

Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost
But now am found
Was blind but now i see

Resolutions 2007
Friday, December 15, 2006 |12:31 AM

it's less than 20 days before 2007 arrives damn fast..1 year pass just like that..2006 has been a significant year for me..and i truly believe 2007 will be a milestone for me in many stuff..before i touch on my resolutions of 2007.some reflection of 2006..

1) My first mission trip - Cambodia (5 - 8 Sep)

-I embarked on this exciting journey. Experiencing the true essence of love and overcoming my inadequacy. I've never looked back..Besides being just inspiring..it made me think..what is it that matter most to you??

2) Keyboard

After not touching the keyboard for years and i mean it around 8 years..i finally touched it again to realise i do have this gifting..for music..=) and i thank God for not taking this gifting away despite being so unfaithful for 8 long years..

2007 will be an exciting year ahead..by the way i receive a call from my new company today that i be flying off to Shanghai on 26 Dec for 2 weeks which means i'll be spending New Year in Shanghai. mixed feelings..but good also to experience a different culture. Exciting stuff to look forward to:

1) Probably by end of 2007, i'll complete my keyboard course..yipee...i can't wait to use this pair of gifted hands to play music that bring people to Christ..

2) Oct & Nov '07 - My current shepherd & ex shepherd getting married & yes i'll be the official keyboardist...finally no longer jie-mei let me show my feminine side eh?? *winks*

3) Will be completing my CPA this year =) it's been a long journey ever since graduation.

@ the moment these are it...a new year..a new beginning..begin it right with my Lord...

"Even youths will become exhausted,and young men will give up. But those who wait on the Lord will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint."

Isaiah 40: 30-31




A piece of bad news
Wednesday, December 13, 2006 |10:57 PM

in this post i shan't beat about the bush.let me get straight to the point. i received a bad piece of news today. my grandmother went for a medical checkup last week and the results will be officially out tmw. But we already know of the results unofficially. Everyone thought she can still be operated on. But the piece of bad news is that the cancer cells have already spread..so there's no way that she can be operated anymore. the thing now is just to wait for the time. My aunt they offered to pray for her but she refused. Nobody dares to break the news to her. My heart is not well. I really ask God that she will come to accept God. Lord.. please do your work...=(




sacrifice???
Monday, December 11, 2006 |7:39 PM

this blog is about a person...someone whom i used to have quite a "duhz" impression about him..how to put it?? ok..i would say i always felt he was a miser and someone who don't like to take up responsiblities. all these to add on to the fact that he always don't know how to say things..always say the wrong things!! ahahah..but last sat the impression of him being a miser changed..this is what happened..

went with a few people to Sandy Lam's Concert. Actually besides Shireen, the other 2 people i also don't really know them. Glad to have this opportunity to know them slightly better. I got to know that the only male among us is going to Korea..then i was like whahaha so good..u really know how to enjoy life...after the whole concert on my way home with shireen. had a conversation with her and i told her:

Me: " he really know how to enjoy life."

Shireen: "aiyah, he is going because of his sheep."

Me: "huh??? why??"

Shireen: "Because his sheep going with a girl..so he bu fang xin.."

Me:" sure anot??? he spend $1,800 just on the trip haven't include expenses just to keep an eye on his sheep?? he so stingy one!!!"

Shireen:" yah loh.."

Me:" can't believe it. *scratches head* Shireen, will you do that to me also??"

Shireen:" See how first."

seriously, i can't believe this miser or maybe i shouldn't be calling him that.will do such a thing..just to keep an eye on his sheep..a shepherd's love?? yes..it is.




Stretched to my limits
Friday, December 08, 2006 |10:25 PM

it all happened yesterday..if it wasn't for this matter..i wouldn't know that my tolerance limit has progressed to yet another level..a gentle & quiet spirit indeed is in the moulding process..the prayer of "More of Him and less of myself" is answered.."He must increase and i must decrease"..yes it's a tough process..tears were shed.but through it all i know God is glorified and that's what mattered most to me..a little story about what happened:

081206:

It was during a training. Group presentation. My turn to present and this mgr of mine-LN sat in. In fact the training was conducted by our AM - LL. So when it was my turn to present..Mr LN who always had a grudge against me told me to repeat myself twice..then in the end he said:

" Go up in front to write it down."

My mind was like " DAMN U!!!! WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM!! YOU ARE JUST POWER TRIPPING!!" i went up to write..slowly taking my own sweet time...but was super super super BUAY SONG...right @ that moment i almost lost it...i wanted to just flare up and asked him:

"WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH YOU??? OR DO YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH ME??"

My face turned black...there was rage/anger/wrath (whatever you call it) yes. i had it in me and i was just waiting to explode..i didn't explode.neither did i lose it...after the whole thing..i prayed silently in my heart..i told God that i don't wanna let anger remain. Immediately after lunch..i went back to my seat..teared and quickly refered to the bible @ what God said about anger.

This very day i know my limits have been stretched. I've soared unto greater heights with my Lord..I'm glad i didn't lose it =). In fact we had this evaluation form that we had to do about the training and there was this question which asked "How did this training benefit you??"

My answer: " It taught me how to control my temper."

Totally unrelated to the course yet true to the heart..

Yes...Gentle & Quiet Spirit. Fruit of the Holy Spirit.

"He must increase and i must decrease"




Faithful Father
Wednesday, December 06, 2006 |12:05 AM

The night before i was talking to wu puo on msn..i told her this:

me: "wu puo..i am worried. I doubt God. I wonder if i will ever find someone who is so patient with me. i wonder if someone will ever love me. i duno when God will provide. I duno if i will ever end up with him."

shufen:" God is a faithful Father."

This was ringing in me the whole day. Today while @ keyboard. i learnt this song-> Faithful Father. I cried.. i teared..sorry i am quite a "ku bao"..but it hit me right in the middle of my heart..God wanted to remind me that He is a Faithful Father..This is how the song goes:

Father, I can't explain this kind of love
This kind of grace
I know I still break Your heart
And yet You run to welcome me

This is my song of praise to You
For who You are and all that You do
From the moment my life began
You have been faithful

Father I love the way you hold me close
And say my name
I know when my life is through
My heart will find its home in You

This is my song of praise to You
For who You are and all that You do
From the moment my life began
You have been faithful

Once again...God tells me..He is faithful..till this day..i still can't hear whether is it a Yes, No or wait. But 1 thing i know and very sure of..God is faithful..from the beginning till the end. He is faithful.




Savor a season of friendship..
Sunday, December 03, 2006 |11:29 PM

Today i learnt an important lesson.which i very much want to share with my darling wu puo.in fact this reminded me again..when i asked God "will i end up with him???" See how God replied..

" Even if we have romantic feelings for someone, and even if we feel our Prince might have brought them into our life, it is still smart to cultivate a season of Christ-centered friendship before anything else happens. It is a wise idea to get to know each other on a deeper level in a relaxed, non-pressured environment over an extended period of time. We shouldn't feel that we may have to rush into a relationship simply because we think we may have found "the one." We should savor the friendship and focus on nurturing a spiritual bond first - through conversations about our Prince, Bible studies together, serving others together, and worshipping together. When the time comes to move beyond friendship, it will be far easier to keep Jesus Christ at the core of the relationship and not be swept away by powerful emotions. We must remember that emotional and physical intimacy can truly be enjoyed at their fullest when spiritual intimacy comes first."
