For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11)

I always feels that at certain parts of our life, we will come to a point where we need to slow down and take a step back to reflect. I think I'm in one of that point right now.

God has been gracious to me with His love and Blessing for me throughout this year. He leaded my family through difficult moments, provided me with a stable job which I'm really thankful. Now as everything starts to stabilise, I can't help but wonder what's next? I believe there is a reason why God has provided me with the stable job and the countless experience of His love. Now, basically I don't have much to worry about. I feels that God is preparing something.

Please pray for me, that God will reveal His plans to me bit by bit and Most importantly, I will be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and really respond when He calls for me, just like when God ask whom can I send, Isaiah immediately responded, 'Here I am, send me'.

Slacking at home right now... thank God for this time that I can really stayed at home and just slack around no need to rush here rush there. Work has been alright, getting to know the ppl in office better, listening to them talking about their family, kids and realise some of the office politics too. We human are really weak and when ppl cannot get along with each other, grudges will be held against one another which will eventually affect the daily work routine also. Haiz... come to think of it, what do you get eventually at the end of the whole thing? the answer is NOTHING and you ruined your friendship with one another plus you wasted lotsa of time too. Its really not worth it. Please pray that I will be able to be shine for God in my workplace.

Continue to keep the church in your prayer. As I've mentioned to some of you, my vision is to really see gloryjoy bonded as one church not as two seperate congregation. don't know when it will happen but cont to pray for the church and the leaders that God will show them the direction to where the church should head towards.

one more thing, my buddy is going to come back tml!! Its been like close to 10mths since he flew off. Can't wait to see him and hear from him how God has been leading him over there :)

Lastly, if you are reading this entry, be reminded that later got Prayer meeting @ Mr. Richard's place at 5pm. Let us come together as one church to pray for each other and encourage one another. See you all later !

This few days have been quite a enjoyable one for me. Felt rather energized after the praise and worship that we have last Sunday. Thank God for the worship, and the video that He has provided timely :) After the worship, we proceed to the Food Hunt event. I thank God that He has brought Jimmy, Eng Seng, Jun Wen and kang wei to join us in the event. Also, Noppol brought along Wei kian and Guang yi to join us too. All this is not by pure coincidence but is really His provision. I believe all of us had a great time walking around, solving clues and hunting for food.

Later will be going to Ms Sherine's place for a gathering. Really looking forward to it. I mean its been dunno how long since we last have a gathering at her place and plus Ms Joyann is joining us too.Its like back to the good old days man.. but just that this time many of the fellow Judah brothers are not here to join us. Please continue to pray for the brothers and sisters who have left the church or drifted away from God.

Wanna end this entry by sharing this video with you all:

Haven't been updating lately. God has spoken to me thru the sermon last week. Last week sermon was on Jesus washes His disciples' feet. During the sermon, Rev Lai mentioned on Jesus loves his own that He not just say in mere words but He also puts it into action by wshing His disciple's feet. Jesus loves all that is His own, and we as His children should also loves all that is our own, be it our family or friends. As Rev lai was preaching, Nick post me a question, 'do you love your father'? I was stunned for a while, and immediately felt ashamed of myself. As I must confessed, My relationship with my dad has not been really close. I've always been prejudiced about my dad. Always focusing on all the bad things that he has done and I was so caught up that I forgot that he is my father and the bible says, Honor your parents. Please pray for me that I may show more love towards my father not just in words but also in actions too. Pray also that I may be a good testimony to my family members as well.

Also, after several considerations and seeking of advice, I've decided to withdraw from my current degree studies @ SIM. Now will focus on work 1st, and hopefully, will be able to pursue further studies by next yr June.Please pray for me that I will be focus on HIM and seek HIM continously.

God has once again reminded me to share of His love for all mankind. Few days back, I'm on my way to work. As I reached the Mrt station and walking to the transport pick-up point, I saw a man lying on the floor seems like sleeping. Lotsa people walks past with strange looks on the person. At that moment, the Holy spirit prompted me to walk up to check if that person is alright or not. However, I chose to walk away instead. As I walked away to the pick up point, the Lord reminded me of the story of the good samaritan. I immediately felt ashamed, for I should at least check if that person is alright or not. I asked God for His forgiveness, and I really need to work on treating everyone as children of God, not by their race or nationality.

Sending out resume has become part of my daily routine I would say. So far still no news for any interviews. Yesterday went down to meet with the recruitment agent to seek job opportunities. went in the morning and in the afternoon she called with an job opening. Initially, everything is good, 5 day work week plus transportation provided etc. After that she called back and say she make a mistake, its 5 days plus alternate saturday. Immediately came to my mind is CE on saturday. I told her about my commitment on Sat, and she said that most of her jobs needs to work on alternate sat. I must admit that at that moment there is really a struggle in me to take up the job, but I know that I've to put God 1st. I turn down the offer instead. However, God is really good.yesterday nite received a call which may provide a job for me, didn't really expect to receive the call I would say. Though its not confirm if i could secure the job, I just want to thank God that He has once again show me that if I trust and commit the issue to Him, He will always provide according to His timing. Just like What the Bible says , His thoughts is higher than ours. AMEN!! :)

Came across this story while I was browsing the net:

Don't Worry
-- Author Unknown


Years ago, I was enthralled as I listened to a pastor who for several years had faithfully served the church. His executive responsibilities had taken him all over this country. As he concluded his message, he told of one of the most frightening, yet thought-provoking, experiences of his life.

He had been on a long flight from one place to another. The first warning of the approaching problems came when the sign on the airplane flashed on: Fasten your seat belts. Then, after a while, a calm voice said, "We shall not be serving the beverages at this time as we are expecting a little turbulence. Please be sure your seat belt is fastened."

As he looked around the aircraft, it became obvious that many of the passengers were becoming apprehensive. Later, the voice of the announcer said, "We are so sorry that we are unable to serve the meal at this time. The turbulence is still ahead of us."

Then the storm broke. The ominous cracks of thunder could be heard even above the roar of the engines. Lightening lit up the darkening skies, and within moments that great plane was like a cork tossed around on a celestial ocean. One moment the airplane was lifted on terrific currents of air; the next, it dropped as if it were about to crash.

The pastor confessed that he shared the discomfort and fear of those around him. He said, "As I looked around the plane, I could see that nearly all the passengers were upset and alarmed. Some were praying. The future seemed ominous and many were wondering if they would make it through the storm.

Then, I suddenly saw a little girl. Apparently the storm meant nothing to her. She had tucked her feet beneath her as she sat on her seat; she was reading a book and every thing within her small world was calm and orderly. Sometimes she closed her eyes, then she would read again; then she would straighten her legs, but worry and fear were not in her world. When the plane was being buffeted by the terrible storm when it lurched this way and that, as it rose and fell with frightening severity,when all the adults were scared half to death, that marvelous child was completely composed and unafraid." The minister could hardly believe his eyes.

It was not surprising therefore, that when the plane finally reached its destination and all the passengers were hurrying to disembark,our pastor lingered to speak to the girl whom he had watched for such a long time. Having commented about the storm and behavior of the plane, he asked why she had not been afraid.

The child replied, "'Cause my Daddy's the pilot, and he's taking me home."

There are many kinds of storms that buffet us:
• Physical,
• Mental,
• Financial,
• Domestic, and...
Many other storms can easily and quickly darken our skies and throw our plane into apparently uncontrollable movement. We have all known such times, and let us be honest and confess, it is much easier to be at rest when our feet are on the ground than when we are being tossed about a darkened sky.

Let us remember... Our Father is the Pilot. He is in control and taking us home... so Don't Worry.




Back to update again. I've informed my boss about me quitting the job, will work till end of the month. After which I will be officially classified as 'unemployed'. Went also to apply for conversion of my course from full time to part time studies instead. However, its still on pending cos I apply only after the deadline so its subject to approval.Please pray for me for this cos quite uncertain right now. Nowis in the midst of hunting jobs, will start to send out resume throughout the week, hopefully by God grace will be able to secure a job that will allow me to work, study and most importantly won't affect my serving in the ministries.

Yesterday after service went out with nick and wei beng to have lunch and catch a movie at AMK Hub. After that went to meet Ken they all at The AMK Garden Macdonald. Have a good chat there, and relfected upon it. My life for the past 1, 2 months have not been in line with God, sort of loses foucs along the way. Now trying to get back on track and in line with God. I need to be more responsible in my words and actions. Please continue to pray for me that my walk with God will be close and I will really live up my life for His Glory.

Dragon Boat event is coming up on 5th July, So far response is quite good. Wanna thank everyone for signing up for the event. Do continue to keep the event in your prayer.

Yesterday went down to Samsung to collect my phone.Have send it in for servicing for like more than 2 weeks but didn't receive any updates from the staff. Thus decide to go down and find out. It turns out that my phone is ready for collection. Finally got back my phone after so long.

Before going down to collect my hone, took a trip down to school to settle my course conversion. Turns out that i need to write an email to inform the course coordinator, then wait for them to bill me then I can go nd make the payment. Troublesome right, having to go through all this procedures whereby i'm there already, wanting to make the payment. In the end, wrote an email to the coordinator, now still waiting for the reply. After that went down to town to meet nick for late lunch. Chit chat a bit, walk around doing window shopping and off we go, back to home.

Now just hope that I can settle my studies fast, and secure a job too.

Exam period is over, went back to Daiso to work again. Quite tiring and sian I would say, may be is because have been resting for two weeks that why began to be a bit lazy. Anyway, will be quitting the job by the end of this month. Now in the midst of job hunting. Hopefully will be able to secure a job and start work by beginning July.
During the break after exam, spend most of the time with my family, going out together for meal and movie. Pretty enjoyable I would say :)

Nothing much to update about. Will stop here for now.

Now in the midst of exam, left with two more papers to clear. Didn't really do well for the 1st two papers but no point crying over spilled milk right? I'm not actually worried about the exams but on whats going to happen after the exam. As some of you may know, I'm in the midst of searching for a full time job to sustain my living expenses and also to pay for my school fees. Please keep me in your prayer that I will be able to secure a job that I'm happy in and at the same time being able to have more time to serve God.

Also on the 31st May, Sunday, there is a event, 'Global Day of Prayer' held at Expo. I would encourage all to go and attend the event. You can find out more through their website @ http://www.gdop.sg/2009/ . Thats all for now, will update more may be after my exams. God Bless!

Went for the revision lecture today @ SIM Management House which is located at Hwa Chong there. Happened to see Edina and her friend, Florence who are attending the class too. Its really good to see your friend attending the lecture with you sia if not will really be very bored. The lecture is quite alright,went through the mock exams questions. Realized that I've committed a lot of careless mistake here and there. Tomorrow will be going to school again for the 2nd part of the lecture from 10am all the way to 5pm. Hopefully will be able to start awake through out. Exam is coming REALLY SOON!! Now trying my best to memorize and absorb the materials. Really want to pass and score well sia, the thought of failing the exam is too scaring. Hope that I can really do well for it.




The previous cell group session which was like 2 weeks ago, we put our material aside as we sat down to watch the video clip from YouTube on Paul Washer's sermon. Don't Know if you all have watched it before, but its really makes me reflect if I have really taken my faith seriously. I hope that it will ministers to you all. Let us commit ourselves to God in prayer and do our part in the spread of the good news. Here's the video:

Today went for my 3rd paper for my prelim. Tomorrow will be the last paper for prelim, after that will take a short break before revision lecture starts and then, the final exam for this academic year. I must say that I'm amazed by how God has led me through all the ups and downs, uncertainies... I just hope that I will be discipline enough so as to be a Good testimony among my friends, colleagues and most of all, my family members.

Went to Causway point after my paper to pass the guide book to Eng Seng cos he wants to refer to it to prepare for his paper on friday. Went to walk around the place since it was raining very heavily. After some window shop here and there, we ended at the music junction outlet. Went in to take a look and realise that they offer Dvd rental service. Browse through their catalogue and found one of the movie that I always want to watch but didn't go when it was screening at the cinemas. Decided to rent it back home to watch.

Its entitled,'Away from Her'. Its about a couple who have been married and living together for 44 years i think. Then, the wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Her memories starts to fail, and slowly she couldn't remember about her recent memories. Finally, she couldn't recognise her husband. she was send to a nursing home for proper care. She met another guy in the home and they fall in love with each other. I think it must be pretty hard for the husband. Knowing that your wife couldn't remember who you are, and somemore falls in love with another guy. However, he stood by his wife, always visit her everyday, caring for her.

It was a good show I think, Brings out the love between the husband and wife, living up to the vow of 'Till death do us part'.

Today attended the last lecture for Financial Reporting. Learnt about deferred taxation. Today's mood was like more relaxing though there is alot of Q & A here and there. Tomorrow will be attending the final lecture for this semester. Time really flies~ now is already the end of the term, if you ask me what I've achieved so far, I really cannot answer it. It seems that I've really been wasting my time instead of focusing on my studies. Thank God that, He send Eng Seng to come and motivate me to start revision for our prelims. For the past two weeks have been going to school or Woodlands library for our revisions. Althought prelims will not be accounted for in the results but I still want to at least get a pass for it.

I thank God that He has always been with me from the beginning till now... cos when I first ORD and decided to go to study in SIM, there is alot of hiccups here and there, school fees, all that... but He has always been there to encourage me... yes I must admit that I've make dozens of mistakes along the way, but I always tell myself that God always has a plan for me... just like what HE say in Jeremiah 29:11. As I reflect, from my ord to SIM to my Baptism.... God has work miraculous in my life.

Now I just pray that, the decisions that I going to make in the near future will be pleasing to Him. Also, pray that I will be able to get a full time job as an account/audit assistant. thats it for now

Monday, January 19, 2009

Yesterday went early to church to prepare myself as I'm leading the worship for the service. Reached at around 0950, saw Nydia and Melissa they all, going for their cell group. While I was there alone, I felt the quietness and stillness. Yes, I may screwed up by not preparing the laptop in advance, singing out of tune, being so nervous but eventually I hope that the message I want to share is being brought across to all and most of all, the worship will be pleasing in God's eyes.

After the service, went for lunch with Ken they all @ Cavana, Sun Plaza. After which, because all don't have program so decided to head back home to rest for a while before going down to SSC to work. Yesterday work was pretty alright, just doing some shifting and re-arranging here and there. The clicks dropped by to say hi to me while I was working. After work, got a call from ken, offering me a ride home (Thanks alot, ken :) ). I really thank God that He places me to work at Daiso. As, I really like the job environment, the friendly colleagues and boss. Even though sometimes may get frustrated on work but God is still there to remind me not to sin when we are angry. I just hope that i will remind myself constantly not to take it for granted and continue to try my best to shine for JESUS!! :)

Friday, January 02, 2009

Yesterday went out with Platoon 14 click plus arthur to Bugis for movie and dinner. Went to watch Seven Pounds ,starring Will Smith. The show is nice, though the flow is quite slow. However, didn't like the storyline at the later part of it. Overall, its a nice show. After that went around to look for dining place, ended up at a chicken rice stall just opposite bugis. Went for dessert at nearby shop while beng went to collect his jeans. then after that went off to Mac @ AMK garden for coffee talk. It was a time well spend cos its been ages since we last sat down to have a good chat. Really need to remind myself to continue to pray, not just for myself but also for the peoples around me. As the new chapter of the year unfold, I hope that I can do better for God and to be His shining light to the people around me.

Later will be dropping by the library in the afternoon. Its been ages since I last went there. Need to do some research for the assignment that is to be due next wednesday. I know I know, why do I procastinate till now then do? Well, simply its laziness thats eating me up... So from now till wed, got to rush thru, hopefully, will be able to complete it. Thats all for now, got to go prepare for class.
