Sudden sense of loneliness swept through my heart.....so quiet....yet not peaceful..Almost all the relatives from overseas who came for my bro's wed have left.....Ahh..how much i hate that kind of feeling!! My superior told me not to be "emotional" BUT im definitely not being rational sometimes....or most of the time....I need adjustment. What's next? Im THANKFUL because im not ALone..i have u...."Tree"!! What? I need a translator here....How do u say "tree" in Mandarin????? :)

What a "20062006"

The news caught me by surprise 2day i.e. 20.06.2006...My Superior is resigning!!! I'm kinda "down" and disturbed bc she has been literally "my sifu" from the 1st day i stepped in2 the working world...despite the fact that my real master is a double degree holder. She may not be a flawless person that u would ask for, but she certainly has some virtues which are even lacking amongst our fellow Christians -generous, cheerful, confident with a heart of forgiving, to name a few!!! I know she's now looking for true inner peace and freedom N' i hope she would one day come to know her Creator!!!

Been sheltered in the past and i feel like an "anak yatim" now... i also feel vulnerable in the office and might be exposed to greater threat from "weapons of mass destruction". So many things to learn yet so little time......didn't get to fully equip myself with the relevant skill to fight my own battle....No "SIFU" = No "TOU DAI" (in Cantonese) Pray for me plz bc not ready to "navigate" clients and files yet.....SIgh*****and to add more to the list...sickening colleague whom i label as "Wantan Poh" (u know what i mean rite...No.no...no...im NOT Racist, ok?)

D Art of Sharing : Poisonous Rumour????

Don't ever listen to unfounded rumour!!! Your mind will be poisoned and this could lead to another problem - questioning of our faith and belief! Never compromise on Word of GOD although some are trying hard to persuade and to convince us that we should look for another alternative when things bothering us don't turn out the way we wanted it to be ...Likewise, we should not carry defamatory tales to the prejudice of others.No HEARSAY plz............

Jeremiah 9:5 And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.

WHat Should we do???

Does this look familiar?Almost everyday we are being confronted by so many choices, affecting ourselves and the people around us. We are torn and forced to choose between the two...to be good OR bad? We all have this "tendency" to sin...to be tempted...BUT GOD have given us a discerning heart...to decide and to uphold what is right in the eyes of our LORD..(and NOT what we think is right)!!! So, start cleaning our ears with a cotton bud, so that it's free from ear wax that causes bad reception...

1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

D Art of Sharing : Our HANDs?

We all seem to be hiding something from GOD!......from our loved ones! "Our HANDs"!!! Our "helping" HANDs that could change the world to be a better (NOTE: NOT THE BEST) place to live. We have "two HANDs and One Heart" . Let us not isolate ourselves from others (like those in the pic) We shall stand UNITED N' walk HAND in HAND as ONE despite our differences. We can put our HANDs 2gether and PRAY for our loved ones & frenz....So?what r u waiting for? Start holding HANDs...Oppss sorry i mean start praying , caring and giving generously without expecting a favour in return, as if it is a "HAND-out" approved by our Lord b4 things around them go out of HAND.

D Art of Sharing : jUST ANother thought

Have u ever thought of ur frenz in need? Have u forgotten them in the midst of ur hectic schedules? Have U been in the state of indifference for long? Did U chose to ignore/avoid/belittle them while having to enjoy an abundant life yourself? Look around U....there's always someone who's trying to speak to U not with his/her mouth but through his/her personal painful experiences...U'll be surprised what U have missed through that narrow biased eyes of yours and the misjudgement hurled at someone who are eagerly waiting for ur truthful care.

Things being said, let us FOCUS on Christ ALONE as Humans are fallible!

1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you

Psalm 148:01-06, 13-14

Praise for God's Universal Glory

Praise the LORD from heavens; praise Him in the heights!
Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His host!
Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all you shining stars!
Praise Him, you highest heavens, you highhest heavens, and you waters above the heavens!
Let them praise the name of the LORD, for He commanded and they were created.
He established them forever and ever; He fixed their bounds, which cannot be passed.
Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His glory is above earth and heaven.
He has raised up a horn for His people, praise for all His faithful, for the people of Israel who are close to Him.

Praise the LORD

BEWARE....!!

Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

Wolf : "Oooohhh Yes..im a GREAT pretender...woooo wooo WOOO wOOO"

I shall not comment on this and perhaps this pic could best serve as a "Warning" to us. Don't be deceived..Do not be led astrayed...Be ALert!!!

Come on-LAH.....WAKE UP!!! "Meaaaakkk Meaaakkkkk" or "Wooooo Wooooo"? U ask GOD for wisdom to decide.

D Art of Enhancing Relationship : Be Patient

This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital. Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, " Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?" The father went home & committed suicide. Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or you wish to take revenge. Think first before you lose your patience with someone you love. Trucks can be repaired.. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge. People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes.
But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.

D Art of Enhancing Relationship : Personal Perception

Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be another man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the way home, a boy commented, "Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the donkey?“ Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked besides them. Later, an old man saw it and commented, "The husband is the head of the family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?" Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey. Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, "How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman." The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey. Then, they met a young man. He commented, "Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you." Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders. It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a narrow bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future. Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear..

D Art of Enhancing Relationship :NO POINTING FINGERS

A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?" The father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticize your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bare in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than you." We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are afraid of losing face. Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is the start of a war. We should always remember that when we point one finger at a person, the other four fingers are pointing at ourselves. If we forgive the others, others will ignore our mistake too.

D Art of Sharing : Joy of Baptism

Matthew 28:19-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. To be administered in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

Im Thankful bc thru' the GRACE of GOD i have finally been accepted into the blessed family of Christ and is now called the "Child of God". Been baptized on Easter Sunday i.e. 16 April 2006 and witnessed by ALL! There have been much struggles in the past few weeks.....and doubts, fear, insecurities etc have surely robbed me of my confidence, faith and i was on "shaky ground", wrestled with my guilt, sins and ill-motive. Wanted it to be "special" since i was a kid, BUT guess GOD has shown me that HE is the REASON, the ONLY REASON for the confession of my sins and proclaimation of my faith! Dear Lord-my Savior, thank U for everything!! TQ Suz for her love N' unceasing support, my family members-esply mum for she has kinda "moulded"/taught me to become the person that i am today, the present prayer warriors-Bros Josh N Brandon for their words of wisdom/daily sharings via sms, my previous and current cg members, my current CG leader-Sis Jolyn for your encouragement, Teacher Chan Yoke for teaching me alot of things, those/everyone in Kepong & KL Grace Church (truly miss our fellowships) n Sun. school teachers in Kepong Gospel Chapel (the church i attended when i was a kid), Sis Wan Loo (my true faithful spiritual fren), Mr and Mrs Amen Li ("spiritual dad") and all my frenz in Hong Kong-Andy, Alice, Ada, Mr Louis, Yee Hang, Miu, Yuet Kam (u know who u are-thank u for the prayer support/lending ur ears for all these years), Danielle-a Christian fren from South Africa whom i met online...Pastors Yaw, Tan, Siow, Pastor Shuat Yien...Rev...Elders...my Cousin Sis-Selina, Special thanks to Mr Victor of KCMC-thank u for taking pics of me (u r truly a blessing to others)...Aunt Ester Ah-Chiew-whom i respect and miss dearly (she had been called to be with the Lord now)...N every1 i know, ur presence (in the past, present n future) has/will surely left/leave an impact on me/my life (sorry guys/gals, cant name u all here)

D Art of Enhancing Relationship: CREATING PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS?

A person visited the government matchmaker for marriage, SDU, and requested "I am looking for a spouse. Please help me to find a suitable one." The SDU officer said, "Your requirements, please." "Oh, good looking, polite, humorous , sporty, knowledgeable, good in singing and dancing. Willing to accompany me the whole day at home during my leisure hour, if I don't go out. Telling me interesting stories when I need companion for conversation and be silent when I want to rest." The officer listened carefully and replied, "I understand you need television." There is a saying that a perfect match can only be found between a blind wife and a deaf husband because the blind wife cannot see the faults of the husband and the deaf husband cannot hear the nagging of the wife. Many couples are blind and deaf at the courting stage and dream of perpetual perfect relationship. Unfortunately, when the excitement of love wears off, they wake up and discover that marriage is not a bed of roses. The nightmare begins.

D Art of Enhancing relationship : NO OVERPOWERING!

Many relationships fail because one party tries to overpower another, or demands too much. People in love tend to think that love will conquer all and their spouses will change the bad habits after marriage. Actually, this is not the case. There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "It is easier to reshape a mountain or a river than a person's character." It is not easy to change. Thus, having high expectation on changing the spouse character will cause disappointment and unpleasantness.It would be less painful to change ourselves and lower our expectations..

D Art of Enhancing Relationship : Right Speech

There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation." Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party. A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted, "Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me. Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker." She answered ,"You should appreciate that you married me. Otherwise, he will be the millionaire and not you." Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship. It's like a broken egg - cannot be reversed.

D Art of Enhancing RelationshipS : TRUST

TRUST is a very important factor for all relationships. When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to suspicion, suspicion generates anger, anger causes enmity and enmity may result in separation.

Easter....

D ARt of Sharing : 2nd Thought for 2day

The WORLD is changing!!! Once being oppressed,..but now oppresing others!

Revenge time??? Well, this is exactly what happened in my office. Ironically, those who were subservient in the past have now been elevated to a position where they are capable of "Balas Dendam" (in Malay) and showing true colors...and some even go to the extent of "Yar Man Yar Mou" (in Cantonese) Arghhh....

Leviticus 19:18 ~ Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.

In a totally different perspective, this pic depicts how some superiors/leaders are being led astray by followers because that little tiny follower called "Lau Soo" got "P.O.W.E.R"-ma. Hmmm....the "Meow-meow" must now change name to "Wou-Wou"??...How sad!

...BUT what a "good dog"???....
