Fellowship times are precious

for the past few days, my work seems to be so light!!! it seems like i have nothing much to do now. i am now so free that i have to think of what else have i not done yet... and i can't find anything to do... all the outstanding things left for me requires waiting from other parties... i suddenly felt so bless that i can "eat snake" openly at work! HAHAHA!!!

i can't believe that i went to the art house to appreciate art! it was a "WAOH" thing for me as i never been there before... it was an eye opener for me that very night... though it was a little weird that the pictures seem to have no meaning, but the longer i stared at it, the meaning starts popping out slowly... it does not happens in a split seconds... i happens in a few minutes time...i think those spot lights were too bright that it hurt my eyes so much that i didn't look long at those pics... it was an interesting trip as i got to learn how to fold a paper box that i have always wanted to learn! so fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the next day, Saturday, was fellowship at Tampines Mall seoul garden! i was suppose to go for swim but i failed to!!! i couldn't wake up on time and continued to sleep... luckily Alan called me and his call woke me up, if not i would still be sleeping still... jumped off my bed and sprang off to the bath room to washed up... met them at TM mac and i thought that i was late... but thank God that i was on time...

we went to seoul garden and ate... i thought that i cannot eat a lot because i have not been eating much lately. but to my surprise, i ate like nobody business... i just kept eating and eating and it was a non-stop action. but before i started eating, i was complaining that the meat are all so oily and i thinking of doing something stupid. dipping them into the soup before i ate them but think of it again, i might as well don't eat here... so i ate like i have a bottomless stomach! so much so that i felt full after a very long time, which was like near to 2 hours... i than felt full!

i always have to visit the gents every time after seoul garden... but this time round i was shock that i didn't. hahaha.... at 1515hrs, we all rushed off to expo hall 1 for mass bible study class. we thought that we will be late but to our surprise, we were on time... the lesson were suppose to start punctually on time at 1530hrs but we reach there at 1535hrs... God was indeed timely! after bible study, we had a short pre-service prayer meeting and it was followed with a good word!

what a good week! i want every week to be like that!!!! :P

it just gets better...

i can't believe the craziest thing in the world... every hiccup that came upon my life was taken away AFTER my prayers... Woah! can't believe it... i just felt better and better unknowingly. Peace was with me! financial prosperity wasn't that much because i don't know how to ask for it. of all things i know how to ask but not in terms of financial... i was funny... i can pray well for everything but not in financial.

this whole week, i can feel that my work load have been lifted up so badly that i find myself lost during working hours... suddenly a lost of direction because i have finish most and in fact all my job. i couldn't believe it. i think my official working hours are like 4 hrs plus only because i act fast in work.

saturday matthew, my first platoon commander, treated us dinner at NYDC bugis. he's back from oversea only for 2 weeks and its my honor to have diner with him and we had a great time catching up. he's left with 1 1/2 year more to graduation. hope he will do well in his scholarship. he rear a golden retriever which i love most among dogs. i can't wait to have one myself! was surprise to know that there's a lack of chefs and cooks over there... the pay was like 30 euro per hour of work! but there is a problem, the people there are racist! hmmm.... i believe by fasting and prayers, things will work out well in the name of the Lord!

i was bumped with an business opportunity again today and the speaker found my needs... the speaker offered me this plan and i am now in the midst of thinking if i should give a try or not. very confused now... every time i get confused, i will sleep. reason behind it is because your mind is overloaded and you need to calm your mind and let it rest before you can take anymore information. stress is not part of our life at all... but we humans created it! crazy us!

crazily more in love with the creator of the universe for He can provide every thing that i am in need and shortage of. He provides me all things in my difficult times... i trust in Him! my Lord and Saviour!

RE: The upside down week

Dear God,

i thank You for the powerful wisdom and strength that You have blessed me with. i am now able to withstand more stress and workload. i am indeed a stronger person now. thank You Lord. i thank You again for the clear vision that You have painted in my mind. i am able to see the end result of the things that i am doing now. thank You Lord. i thank You for the gift of righteous heart that You have planted into me. i can now say out loud that I WALK ON RIGHTEOUS PATH! thank You Lord!!

But Lord, for the past 7 days, things is not going my way. i can feel the difference. it caught my eye that people are doing the wrong things all over and they show me faces, grumble and even throw temper at me when i correct them. what's wrong with these people? have i done wrong by teaching the right thing? why was it so hard for them to walk the right path? was the wrong path easier to walk? but when i walk the easier path, others will be hit by the mistakes that i made... i have been trying to make a difference in my workplace but people are detesting me because of my righteous way of work. You said in your words that "THE RIGHTEOUS STANDS FIRMLY AND WHEN HE WALKS, HE WILL NOT TUMBLE." what should i do so that they will understand that the things they do were wrong? when then they will learn? God, shed light on me and lead me well! tell me what to do so that i can bring them to light and not hide from darkness...

i have been thinking of excusing myself for not taking part in all the exercise now. should i or should i not? they took me for granted and i really sometime feel like throwing them back everything they have asked me to do. by doing this, am i being selfish?

Lord, i pray that you will enlighten me tonight and give me visions and appear in my dreams... what should i do? i am lost!

Granny's death anniversary...

today is my granny's death anniversary... all of the uncles and most of my aunts and cousins were here... was glad to see them...

so i got to talk to my gu gu's son, which is my cousin on shatec... got a few good pointers from him. indeed that being a chef is really not an easy job, but it was my passion. so i won't complain much but i will face my fear and overcome it. i will overcome my hear of heat and cuts in no time. yeah!

i have to overcome the temptation of eating food with chilli, as it numbs my taste buds, and spices up the food. i have to get use of not eating chilli!!! it is a torture to me... but i benefit for the long run... i must learn to taste good food!!! endure the temptation of no chilli!!! wahh!!!!!!!!!!!

we had lunch together at dunno which restaurants as a whole family... a total of 15 pax sat down, ate and chat. we were all planning to go to "shao tou" in china, to visit my oversea ancestors!! waoh!!! never been to china before and i was excited to hear that we will be going. the trip was planned and we are all looking forward to it... though i will miss Christmas celebration in church, but i will not miss new year's celebration for sure this year! this Christmas will never be the same as before... so is new year's eve!!!

i simply cant wait for the day to come!!!

anyway, i have decided to extend my ORD date to december because i will be jobless while waiting for school to start. so might as well get more pocket money from army before i leave... hahaha

the official start of my job

after the trip to Taiwan, i have officially took over the job of transport. suddenly i felt that i was so jam up with so many things to do. i have another round of safety management system audit preparation, transport indenting and checking of paper works. these have been hard on me. that was just work. i still have personal things to do like reading the Bible!! have been lagging too much that i have to spend time catching up the chapters that i have missed. i believe that i can catch up!

from the time i had my last entry, i start to realise that i have been using a lot of my mobile phone to do callings instead of using office phones.... i have to get use to using office phones... i have to get used on not to depend on my mobile phone so much... my mobile phone bill will shoot like rocket to the sky... that's what i fear... despite that i still have my own personal usage. that seems like adding oil to fire !!!

even at the midst of all these busy time, i get to see myself able to handle more stress level in my daily life... i can imagine how busy Jesus was when He was in His ministry. the stress that people looked for him for this and that. for me, it was just a part of his busyness... he was way more busy than me. no horse run!!! i lose to him, that's why he is called God! i wanna be busy with what He is doing, and not doing what others are busy with...

June 1st to 21st is a one hour daily prayer chain... i wish i can have time to pray for that long everyday. my daily job pins me up so badly that sometimes my job ends around 8 plus 9... by than i was so shaq out already... my new officers says that i am at war everyday... so busy with transports and paperwork.

i believe that i will have more time when i seek Him and do His things first!
