what's good and what's bad...

in a blink of eye, a month have past and many really good and bad things happened in my life once again. wanted to update my blog but was to tied to something. but that something now, i have chose to let it go. i'll just have to see if it will come back to me. if it's mine, it's mine.

sometimes i wished it did not happen, but what has happen have happened... though i'm still sad about it, but life still goes on.

Good things come and go, same goes for the bad things, they come and go as well. the questions that i need to answer now is, "can you accept the changes?"

though my answer is a "NO" but i'm trying hard to make it into a "YES". the journey is painful, i just have to hang in there and carry on... =(

Retreat !!!!!!!!!!!!

the first reaction to the word "Retreat" was always to move backwards. that is first human's thinking. it's natural!

likewise, in a company's retreat, it was suppose to be a time of enjoyment, and have closer bonding with one another after a day of hard work.

everything started off with an idea of a chalet that was offered to me... it den bloom into retreat either at JB or chalet. so the outcome of the retreat was JB for a full day of fun and excitements.
so on the day itself, i was there at office early, wating for the rest to come. most of them were late and some hiccups came along the way, so there there wre changes for the plan. we play "The Cashflow game" to kill time while arrangements were made to prepare for vehicle. So when we had the vehicle ready, we headed to JB.

So as we head towards JB, our stomach starts to groan in hunger and we were soon very hungry. we stop at holiday plaza and proceed with our lunch... we went to this cafe that has the settings of hong kong and we ate there. most of us had nearly the same type of food... baked rice but with different toppings. the cheese have really made us captivated with the melting texture and we ate to our hearts fill. we were trying to get this glass of milk tea worth 5 person to drink but we couldnt. this exclusive offer is only open for people celebrating their birthday and it is free! 1 big gigantic jug of milk tea, but the condition is, it must be 3 days before and after the birthdate. so sad...

so after late lunch, the girls went on with their manicure while the guys go window shopping around and foot massage.

So when evening comes, we headed to this building call "JUSCO" if i remember correctly, it is the largest shopping mall in JB. so the plan was to go and sing... after singing we go eat again and head home.

we headed to red box, their version of k box, and we start singing from 7pm and thinking that it will end at 10pm but we were mistaken as the session that we purchased is actually until 1am.
so we have to change our plans. we continue to sing from 10pm to 1am. so after my song i felt something like wrong with them... turn out they ordered a birthday cake for me, and sang me a birthday song. i was very touch with that... it's really been like years since i properly celebrated by birthday. i was even given the honor to pop open a champagin. =)

so after singing out loud, we all split with 2 vehicles, 1 to eat and 1 back to Singapore... So guess what? i followed the eating car... even though we were filled. so 4 of us, ate again... we had sambal kang kong, begger's chicken and shelll fish. it was fabulos!@!

very sad... talk so much but didnt take any picture other than eating for our late lunch...

i'll try to take pictures in remembrance to all these things... =)

Tired and Sleepy

I have no idea why i am been so tied with work lately. Do they appreciate my work? They ask for 2 way communication, i did my best to do it but they didnt even bother to reply me when i ask.

is there anything or anywhere that i needs to improve ? i'm so tired working... i have never felt so tired working before... why ? =(

My first time

Saturday 20th June was the first time that i have donated blood to the blood bank. it was kinda scary for me as i have never donated blood before... but after the donation was over, i felt glad and didnt feel tired or lack of blood in my brain.

Excited... i'm looking at the next blood donation... =)

again i will donate blood!

it is better to give than to receive,
it is better to serve than to be served,
it is better to love than to be loved.

a state of depression

totally i couldnt find time to do the simplest things like blogging because i don't even have time for that. i am so glued to work due to the high cmmitment level. it's kinda irritates me a lot nowadays due to the high level of commitments. what can i work as now ?

kinda fall into depression lately... don't understand why also... but doctor said that it was lead by stress... what am i stressed at? work? finance? relationship?

seeking for part time jobs now...

Scandalon!

What Pastor Steve Munsey preached on Scandalon have really drove the message deep and hard into my thick skull! till date, i did not forget a single thing.

scandalon is a pit that was nicely camoufludge in front of you and when you fall in, you're stuck in there. you see the good things pass by you... and you cant enjoy it because you are stuck in the pit!

i fell into the pit and i have been seeing things passing me like nobody business... no hands came to pull me out of the pit, but people who saw me in the pit only suggest me to do this and that and by doing their advices, i might be able to break free. sometimes i just fall deeper into the pit unknowingly.

FINALLY, and really it is like FINALLY!!! a hand came down, wanting to pull me out of scandalon, which is my debt. i was seriously afraid to grab it inititally because i won't know when the hand pulls me up, that hand can push me down deeper because i am depending fully on the hand i am holding on.

when i was in the train back home from the appointment with my friend, i had a serious thought. this could be my turning point, what if i loose this chance? when will it come again? many questions rain on me. seriously i don't know if it is the prompting of the Holy Spirit of it's just myself talking to myself... questions after questions came, flooding my mind...

sometimes i have no idea on what i should do as well... but i am looking at how things will go about... i really really really am dying for a breakthrough in the area of my finances...

Dear God, here i plan my path... help me to get out of scandalon, so i can be the salt and light you have called us to be and be able to be a blessing to others. Help us oh God! In Jesus name i pray, Amen!

A series of happening

From my last entry till today, i have done many things. so many that i have forgotten most of them... just too busy and tired to recall them... but it seems like living day by day, which is not really very good.. trying hard to find a goal in my career now... the more i find, the more i'm lost!

i'm like buried with work everyday... i don't know how long more can i last... i hope that the capacity of mine will be stretched.

now with virus infection now (not swine flu), my throat was infected, and my nose run faster then me.

life suddenly took a sharp turn, it wasn't easy... why ??

=(

THE MESSAGE BIBLE

I finally got the bible that i have been eyeing for. Though i have not started reading it today, but i'm believing for FRESH REVELATION FROM HEAVEN.

My first own purchased Message Bible, i'm counting on you for my coming offering messages and sermons that is ahead of me.

Thank you JESUS for the FRESH REVELATION !!!

i love YOU !

Everything needs time...

When a chef cooks his steak, he will always have to watch the fire and texture of the meat.

Fire too big -> cook time lesser
Fire too small -> cook time longer
Meat too thick -> cook time longer
Meat too thin -> cook time lesser

Working at my new workplace really tested my skills in the area of management. I now realise that I have failed to manage my things well enough and often find myself doing wrong things one after another. I have focus on the wrong things time and again. Many a times I'm feeling kinda sick of myself doing the wrong thing most the time.

I really thank God that even though I have been doing wrong things time and over again, my co-workers are still kind enough to teach me patiently to suggest and guide me a better way to complete a task.

I can't wait to have another breakthrough in the area of my work. I have been spending too much time... How can I breakthrough to the next level of multi tasking?

In office, where does it stands in the profiling?
D, I, S or C ???
In my own profiling, i'm in the centre. Sometimes i'm so stuck.
when i turn left, I sometimes turn too much to the left and forgot about the right.
when i turn right, I sometimes turn too much to the right and forgot about the left.

Conclusion -> I HAVE TO look at my left and right not too much and not too little. I need to talk more.

I HAVE TO START TALKING TO GET THINGS DONE!!!!

Dear God, this is Your to-do list that I believe You can do to me:
1) Good memory capacity
2) Mutli task breakthrough to another level
3) Able to complete more things within a short period of time
4) Able to manage time, transport expenses, stocks movement records well
5) Another breakthrough of communications with co-workers

God, please help me. I entrust my hope on You.

the down of the down, now going up...

after the magazine promoter, everything was finally over... as i started my career with Attributes, things was rough for me... i was being enlarged, so much so that the enlargement process shag me out... there was a period of time where i had not enough rest, 1st to reach and last or 2nd last to leave... that was when i have poor priority management...

there were so many type of management for me to learn... even though i had experience from army, but the job scope was totally different even though it is still under the "LOGISTIC FAMILY"

i was piled with work load, load that i have never seen before, so heavy for me to carry alone... slowly as i focus one by one, completing them instead of 100%, i complete them at 80%. because i cannot afford to focus 100% on 1 thing and leave the rest undone. when i complete like 80% of many things, the overall completion rate was higher then the 100% that i have been focusing on. though i know this theory, i couldnt put them into use because i was a perfectionist! i want to complete 100% before i go into the next thing but i realise that i can't, not because i couldn't...

life was really packed up, mainly with work. working in the house of God was really great because i am exposed to more stress. you guys might think i'm crazy to say this but, the more stress that is on you, the more you will be expanded in terms of details and managements.

pastor also said before that no problem is greater then the God we serve... instead, turn to the problem and tell the problem that the God i serve and worship is bigger than them...

i was watching this video for the first time. it was mind blowing!!! all should watch... no kidding you! it tells you how small you are and how big God is... amazing video...
http://www.268generation.com/videoplayer/player.php?videoid=Indescrwide1&quality=hi

we are small, yet God chose to dwell in us. hmmm... how does God's full presence feels like? i'm hungry for it... i am building my foundation again! back to first love...

GOD!! I LOVE YOU !!!

climbing up

after all the downs, there is always an up. i was shortly called up for round 2 of interview and i was asked to start work like wednesday, 25th, and i was able to relate all the things i did in army into good use here in attributes... =) God has prepared me for this day... Wooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

after long intensive training in army, doing the things i am doing now, i am very very confident that i am able to withstand the stress level and multi tasking that i am tasked to do. just sad that there is no bed for me, so i have to go home everyday after i am done with work. but i hate to leave today's work for tomorrow... it is snowballing... bad for health also...

anyway, i have noticed that many young man cannot do admin job properly... i dunno why also but i am thankful to God that i am able to do admin job perfectly with very very very very minimum errors in it.

everything is starting to be clear to me what am i suppose to do. things are going so well now... =) i'm so glad that things are going well now... =)

all these happened after i have given to the storehouse of God. signs of me to give my tithes... it was spoken after CGM and service 4 by pastor Tan.

Malachi
3:8
"Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, 'In what way have we robbed You?' In tithes and offerings.
3:9
You are cursed with a curse, For you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation.
3:10
Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this," Says the Lord of hosts, "If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.
3:11
"And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field," Says the Lord of hosts;
3:12
"And all nations will call you blessed, For you will be a delightful land," Says the Lord of hosts.
3:13
"Your words have been harsh against Me," Says the Lord, "Yet you say, 'What have we spoken against You?'
3:14
You have said, 'It is useless to serve God; What profit is it that we have kept His ordinance, And that we have walked as mourners Before the Lord of hosts?
3:15
So now we call the proud blessed, For those who do wickedness are raised up; They even tempt God and go free.' "
3:16
Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, And the Lord listened and heard them; So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the Lord And who meditate on His name.
3:17
"They shall be Mine," says the Lord of hosts, "On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them As a man spares his own son who serves him."
3:18
Then you shall again discern Between the righteous and the wicked, Between one who serves God And one who does not serve Him.

This verse happen on the same week. to me, it is not something man synchronised, but everything was done by the grace of God. before that, it was everything upside down...

Bottomline... Trust God that when you bring it into the storehouse, more will come from the windows of heaven! =)

Days after CNY

Life indeed have a curve, curve of ups and downs. just when my life is picking up, my finances are going at the same time, lower and faster then i can ever thought of... My manager is delaying my pay... Goodness! i have no simple idea why is he doing so.

Letters after letters, reminders after reminders from those companies. I was unable to make payments due to such matters. My mind was really pushed to the edge, As i pray hard, persistant praying, somehow there are food coming my way and i didn't pay a cent. Sometimes when there is no sales, i wil just make a simple prayer by asking God to give me 1 sales and indeed it really came.

God has been faithful and has been answering to prayers that i requested. During the morning prayer meeting from 9th to 13th Feb, i attended all of the prayer meetings. Throughout all the prayer meetings, i wil be asking for the same thing over and over, again and again. seeking persistantly and some have already taken place.

Today i also had an interview at attributes, had an initial round of interview with Gilian and Valerie. I have no idea on what the outcome will be like but i hope that the outcome will be positive and will engage me to work. I hope that they will call me up for round 2 of interview. =)

Thank you Lord for everything You have done in my life. I now ask for revival to take place!

House warming

Sat was wen jie and siew lee's new house warming and also another get together with jia hui, desmond and wife at their places. though they didnt have much, so they ask if it is ok for us to cook a little thing over and we'll dine together. we were all alright with the idea. i was the first to reach, so i got myself to start preparing the spaggatti for the second time. but this time with a little pressure, their stomach depends on my noodles.

this time round, the spaggatti was less oily but the texture is still hard. i can't figure out why. it's so sad for me. i need to find a reason to decode it, so that i can cook better the next time round. this time round, i cook the noodles with salt instead of plain boiling water. also i cooked a dish of vegetables. everything was meat less mine... flour and vegetables... we had prawns, sotong balls, fish balls, chicken, mutton, pork meat with satay sauce and fried chicken wings. we were very filled at the end of the eating session. everything was finished up, leaving the chilli sauce and my pamasen cheese and a little of the oily spaggatti. we still have cheese cake as desert.

follow by that, we played blackjack, dai dee and texas poker. of course, money was involved though as small as 10 cents games. i did win some during the blackjack and daidee but lost all my winnings and some money in the game of texas. desmond was the sole winner, winning back like $10 from us.

follow on, after we left siew lee's place, i followed jiahui to his relatives place. i wasnt really expecting to go up because i don't know them at all. but my best buddy's mummy wanted me to come up, so i just have to say ok. going up with the laptop in my hand, i was thinking what should i be expecting. when i reach the door, i was greeted by my buddy's sister and she brought me in. i greeted everyone in the house "uncle, aunties, xin nian quai le." with a smile in my face. guess what? everyone ignores me. did they hear me or they were just busy playing their mahjong session? hmmm....

after that we headed home. another long day... =)

Chinese new year

as i started using my A4 size organiser, i start to realise that my activities have been piling up like crazy business... at the same time, money is leaking out from the part, part time work that i'm into.

where has all my hard earn money gone to? =( did i spend it most by taking buses and train? why did i bury myself into so many activities? was it to stretch myself or keep myself busy? sometimes when i think about it, i can't answer myself to all these questions. it is so strange, why all these and not those? what are the other ways that i can manage my times since i have habits of idling at home when i'm resting? am i physically tired? why am i not doing all these things? seriously, no answer for my actions.

during chinese new year, it was my first attempt to cook for my whole entire family. i was cooking spaggatti and 1 additional more that i can't remember what is the name for it, for my whole family. Being excited, here's what i did for cooking my spaggatti:

cooking the spaggatti noodles in boiling water.
chopping garlic cloves into bits and soak with cooking oil.
put in cooked spaggatti and fry.
add pinches of salt, pepper and butters.
fry again abd before serving, add another scoop of butter.

it came out a little too oily on the surface and very hard inside. i don't know why it turn out ot be like that. kinda sad that i didn't get what i wanted. but it's ok... i will be able to do it better next time, because i missed out a few steps. hahaha

there wasnt much excitements in this chinese new year. somehow dunno why it is like so boring. and this is just day 1.

day 2, i went over to my "wai puo", which means my mother's mother place to bai nian. for so long i have not seen by "biao di", they have all grown up and i seriously could not recognise them well. and worst still, i thought that they were someone else. also to my shock, they started smoking. i was very shock to see it. so i talk to one of my biao di and asked him why smoke? he couldn't really answer me well. somehow or rather, i feel that it is the influence of their dad, or by their eldest brother, who is also a smoker.

i even asked if their mum is agreeable with the idea that they were smoking, expected answers came out from his lips. he told me that his mum don't wish to see them smoke. i, as an ex smoker, knew how parents feel because it really will break the hearts of the parents. smoking is not really so cool afterall. it's so money wasting. i regretted smoking so heavily last time but thank God that i manage to quit in time. though temptations still still comes along the way, i always ask myself what are the side effects for that. it would be stomach upset, stoned for hours, cold sweat, blur and tired. these are the horrible feels that an ex-smokers gets after quitting smoking for so long and picks it up again.

thereafter, i had dinner at my wai puo's place. there wasn't a lot of varietys but there were a lot of meat. prawns, chicken, ducks and pork. all tasty and oily. i didn't ate much because i was heading over to Ruth's place to eat too. i was there way late, i reach about 9plus and there were really still lots of food left. so i did my best, trying to finish as much as i could. i didn't know that her dad was a cook. he was a zhu chao chef! the food was really great. but it's such a waste that i couldn't finish much.

after this, i head home... what a long day i had...

where was i

good and bad things happened in my life for the past week, and i have also thought of my own resolution again because i think that it is too short....

3) i signed up this discipleship class that will be taking place every sunday after Jurong service. it will last for 16 lessons and after that i will graduate from the class. i will be drilled and moulded to be a stronger person in character.
4) i was feeling very down due to financial difficulties, but i was comforted with the book of Pslams 54:6 "With a freewill offering i will sacrifice to You; i will give thanks to Your name, O Lord, for it is good." and i was encouraged!

A request from a friend

it has been quite a while since my ITE friend gave me a rang on my mobile. when i saw his name, Ron, calling, i thought there must be a gathering that is going on but i was wrong. he told me that he is helping out in his friend via distributing magazines door to door. "hmmm... ok... distribute to which estate?" was my first question. i have no idea why did i ask that question too... anyway, i helped him out in the distribution, from door to door. the ball started rolling on thursday itself.

friday i took a day off from my part time promoter just to help him. we goes from block to block, dropping those magazines at the door steps. we started as early as 10.30am all the way till night. that was day 1. legs starting to get a little tired. we ended work like 12.30am? i have never walk so much even when i was in army!

day 1, it was only me and ron and at evening time, jason(Ron's worker's son), tong sheng, astor and wife came. on day 2, saturday, came tong sheng and astor, jason. 5 of us work all day and night... it was like a never ending job. and i got to find out that we are to issue 20,000 copies of these free magazines to everywhere. through the hardworks, we all manage to issue 12,000 copies of this free magazine. it was real hardwork, and i really meant hardwork. walking up and down wasnt that funny afterall. it was energy draining...

But in the midst of all these hardwork, we had fun... and they brought me to hougang block 309 coffee shop to eat one of the best roast duck meat. it was really wonderful!

it feels a little like china's roast goose meat. just that wonderful!!! yum yum!!!

My first official part time job

after i have finally ORDed, i have also started to find jobs... and it was real tough to find a job. i don't understand why... this is so sickening... and so i soon got more and more desperate and i bought papers and stared looking for temporary jobs. i spotted this promoter job, promoting magazine, so i give it a try... it was great! i soon find myself starting to love this job. talking to people, seeing so many kinda people... talking is so fun!

despite all the fun, the manager, Daryl and his part time promoters, were all good to me. they thought me lots of sales technique. now it is time to let these skills manifest and show some results... tomorrow is a better day with more sales and more experience for me always. i pray that i'll get to learn things everyday during my work.

below are the magazines that i am promoting;

The Economist
Forbes
Business Traveller
Newsweek
Ya Zhou Zhou Kan
National Geographic
Reader's Digest
Discovery Channel Magazine
Discover
Business Week
The Edge Singapore
The Asian wall street journal

drop me a SMS or a message to find out the promotion and pricing before the offers ends...

2009,

I don't get ready for you,

you get ready for ME...

2008 last days

just a few more minutes and 2008 will end like that. time files.... this year celebration was a funny one. i went to woodlands, near the causeway to watch Malaysia's fireworks. Singapore's fireworks were all very short but beautiful, whereas Malaysia has various location putting together and though not synchronized together, they turn out to be beautifully brightening the skys!

long fireworks but not so nice VS short fireworks but very nice

which is your choice? you watch the short but very nice because you paid your tax in it?? haha...

2009, the best year yet to be!

CHINA experience

its been a while since i'm back from China and have not updated how the trip was. overall it was really an eye opener for me. Getting to see things i have never see in Singapore before and now i feel that Singapore is like not so high class after all in terms of technology.

I roam in China from Macau -> Zhu Hai -> Shan Tou -> Shen Zhen -> Zhu Hai -> Macau -> Singapore.

Though the stay in China was like 8 days, it was really an enjoyable trip. the best over at China was the roast goose meat and dim sum. the goose meat was not only cheap, but also tasty, delicious and full of fragrance but yet, its oily. when you're oversea, who cares about eating healthy? it was a "I WANT MORE OF IT" after you finish the piece in your mouth. it was that tasty.

the dim sum, so far compare to Singapore, lose until no horse run, (Bo bei zhao). there are dim sum wrap in seaweed?? (the green color paper vegetable??) and it was really nice! and talk about nice, their feelings were great too! big fat prawns were filled to the brim of the siew mai. dumplings were so freshly made and you just can't stop appreciating the freshness and tastyness of it.

Every country ought to have their very own local productions. so guess what's for china? local production = fake goods, and they're so good in it. and i as a foreigner, of course bought some of their local production back to Singapore. 2 Tag Heuer watch, 1 Omega watch, ( i'm wearing it), 1 gucci wallet, 1 Balley wallet, 1 Kappa slim sling pouch, 1 zippo lighter, 2 wind proof lighter, 2 LED torch light and 1 pair of hand craft keychain. See? and they're quite costly too even after hard bargaining with the people there.

the massage centres were great as well. and they are all pure doctors doing all these massaging for you. you don't have to tell them how terrible you were. you just tell them where does it hurts , and their finger will tell them how bad it was, and the doctors will ask you some questions. surprisingly, all the questions they ask, the answers all turn out to be yes.and guess what did the doctor that rub my back said?

"You're a sportsman huh? Your muscles are all so tough and tensed! You're overworking your muscles at your back!"

that's what the doctor said about my back, and my thighs. and all are correct. haha! and earning my money was not easy for him. i kinda pity him. RMB 25 for 1 hr back rub. if every china people back is like mine, so tough, i think he'll need a good full body rub soon or later.

We talk about food, product and massage. lastly i'll talk about tourist attractions. their tourist attractions were mainly their mountains and nothing much but at macau, i took the landmark of macau, the church of st paul. in chinese, (DA SAN PA). in direct translation to english, (BIG BITCH/GOSSIPER?)

sometimes when you read china's english, be prepared to get a shock of your life because here are some of the examples:

pay special notice the last 3rd word.

it reads: "CAREFUL WRESTLING" huh???
this is taken in a hotel.

so sometimes we didn't mean to laugh at them but their actions were really indeed funny as we know that they are trying the best to inform user.

Overall, China, Fun! i'm going back again!!! just dunno when! =( because i miss the weather. i'm going to go in cold weather!!!! hahaha!!! hope the next time i went, the temp will range from 14 to 19 deg celcius!! wootTTT!!!
