Love quotes of the day

“Love seeketh not Itself to please, Nor for itself hath any care,
But for another gives it ease,
And builds a Heaven in Hell’s despair.”

 

” I may not get to see you as often as I like. I may not get to hold you in my arms all through the night. But deep in my heart I truly know, you’re the one that I love, and I can’t let you go.” for someone..

 

Love is hard and will always be, but remember somebody loves you and that one is ME !

Fishes have fins to swim,
Birds have wings to fly,
And I have you
to make me smile

Darren`s bday

It`s been a few days since I last posted entries on my blog, so here it goes…

On Thursday we had a fun cg and managed to surprise Darren just 2 days before his birthday!! It would be cooler if the lights were off though haha. I love the elmo figurine on top of the icing and yeah, waiting for Saturday`s celebration to come….whooo.

Fri was my Cali working day. Thank God I managed to drag in 2 customers…and they are potential ones!! some rich executives..heng la..maybe they see me so ke lian..haha

Darren`s big day was on Sat, 26 0f July. Same day as me but different month..haha. We all surprised him with a chocolate cake!! hope he likes it, cos he ate two slices of it..whoo.. My affirmation to him was so short…but anyway, I had it all in the card alr.. as the sayings go, “words can be wasted with so much to say”  and  ”less is more” LOL

Today was a tiring Sunday for me. After my work, I went to orch to get my Biotherm stuffs and in the evening after a swim, I passed by my old church while out with my mum to Queensway shopping centre to repair my badminton racket and guitar, but shoot, there wasn`t any guitar shop in sight, so I brought the old guitar out for nothing. After our business is done, we went to Ikea for a late dinner. Fat Fat FAT!! lol. Remember Lem said to me, just spending time with one`s parents could be meaningful:)

I remember I passed by my old church (Grace assembly of God) in the bus (it was in Redhill btw, near to Ps Jasmine house, near Tanglin thr) , I saw a bigger and newer church, just newly built across the street. It has a surreal and modern looking structure with glass walls and ceilings with modern decor and furnishing..I was like WOW!! I didn`t realise that there are that many followers of Jesus in Singapore alr!! and btw the building looks pretty cool!! Gotta take picture to show u all here soon..B-)

Love quotes of the day

The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.
~ by Pearl S. Buck ~

 

I’d like to run away
From you,
But if you didn’t come
And find me …
I would die.
~ by Shirley Bassey ~ (as sung by Celine Dion and Luciano Pavarotti) (cute

 

I love you – those three words have my life in them.
~ by Alexandrea to Nicholas III ~

 

Love is like war,
Easy to begin but hard to end.
~ by Anonymous~

 

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
~ by 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 ~

Xue Ting`s Bday

I knew today was going to be a long day again. And I am all exited to go to service today!! 

Before I headed for service, my friend, Ron who worked for Kiehl`s smsed me suddenly to come and see him..He said that he wanted to take a pic with me…haha. So, since it was his birthday that day, I decided to pay him a short visit. Yes, he took a pic of me as soon as I came and He asked me to collect some product samples from Kiehls…LOL  

Then I left and waited for my friends in Centrepoint before deciding to just go str8 to Cuppage Plaza for service:) And yea!! Biotherm got some new stuffs…hehe. Anyway, everyone was there filling a big big bday card when I reached. I knew it was for someone

After the fun service we all went to prepare the “Queen`s” birthday celebration. You know why I called her the “Queen”? Haha.. (hope the person dun mind ) Cos so many ppl came and “pay respect” to her …haha…just kiddin` 

Yup yup, infact I was both shocked and surprised to find so many “devotees” who came and celebrated her bday at fortcanning park. It was so dark and we had to even prepare a happy bday song with little light sticks forming the words. Wow, a grand start off for the coming surprise!! I bet she was also taken by surprise. LOL 

 After the cakes and photo taking (I`ll upload the pics later) we headed to the cemetery…LOL.. where we played with fire crackers!!

we playing firecrackers at the cemetery…LOL

 

Haha, yeah we really went to the place where dead british soldiers are burried.. But doesn`t matter about the place…What`s important is our sincerity and heartfelt gratitude. We did our sincerest affirmation to her while kneeling on the ground as if she were to knight us like dat…haha. Now u understand why I called her the “Queen” ? Haha. Hope she will be happy with the words I said to her that night.

After the “knighting” lol, we all headed home and saw a very grandious dance performance with operatic arias as the accompaniment on the street just outside SMU and the Singapore National museum. There were very tall “dolls” which are actually humans. Very nice….like Cirque du Soleil..haha

And today , Sunday!!! haha. We went for membership class followed by a hearty buffet at YWCA. The class was enriching and I felt like I really belong to the church after Pastor Jeff`s talk

Looking forward to a challenging week ahead which is filled with tests, project submissions and presentation on Mon and Wed. Dunno if I can make it through this mad week alive.. LOL. but I know that I`ll have someone in my heart to talk whenever the going gets tough.

That`s the way it is

Just some random post…
So bored, waiting for my lesson which will start in 5 mins time….haha. LOL
Today no cg, so see u guys on Fri…:) going to fareast plaza after school later..
chill out..

When I got home, I took a pic of my mum`s Catholic devotion she places near the balcony. Statues and images of Jesus, Mother Mary and Joseph . How u all think of them? intriguing, aren`t them? hehe

 

Jesus, Mother Mary and Joseph

 

 

Btw since I am at it, I wanna encourage someone with this song…and also to those of you who are desperate for some love..LOL

Never give up ur faith for some LOVE, folks!! cos if you have faith in God, he`ll give u all the love you`ll ever need!!

some mathematical equations..

Given that : God=Love, (God is love)

Believe in love=Believe in God

From the lyric below: Love comes to those who believe it = God/Love will come to those who believe in him, who is Love. And that`s the way it is!  u get it?? haha…I know it sounds kindda repetitive, but come to think of it. It`s pretty simple and straight forward!!

How true!!! B-) Enjoy the lyric below..

                                                                   That`s the way it is

I can read your mind and I know your story
I see what you’re going through
It’s an uphill climb, and I’m feeling sorry
But I know it will come to you

Don’t surrender ’cause you can win
In this thing called love

Chorus:
When you want it the most there’s no easy way out
When you’re ready to go and your heart’s left in doubt
Don’t give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that’s the way it is

When you question me for a simple answer
I don’t know what to say, no
But it’s plain to see, if you stick together
You’re gonna find a way, yeah

So don’t surrender ’cause you can win
In this thing called love

[Chorus]

When life is empty with no tomorrow
And loneliness starts to call
Baby, don’t worry, forget your sorrow
‘Cause love’s gonna conquer it all, all

[Chorus]x2

That’s the way it is
That’s the way it is, babe
Don’t give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that’s the way it is.

Monday blues

Feeling bored now, dunno how to describe it…

I got flu and was feeling a little sick and weak now but nothing can stop me from singing and worshipping God.. Monday was a very short day for me in school. After Q methods class, I had lunch with Shawn. He got a nice cross with “13″ engraved on it. I didn`t know if he`s aware of it or not..but I reminded him that “13″ could symbolize  the day, July 13 when he was baptised and became a new person..=) what a cool coincidence, eh? haha

After that, I went home and took a plunge at the pool and thought about the people that baptised me on that same day, Xue ting, Ritchie and Nel =) maybe one day, with God`s grace, I could have the chance to baptise that someone that I love..secret..not telling u who..haha x)

Water Baptism 13 July 08

I would never forget this day, the day which had been planned by God. 

As I was thinking about it the whole week leading to the water baptism, I kept on thinking, ” Am I holy and good enough for the water baptism?”  I was naturally nervous and burdened whenever I thought about it. But somehow, in a peculiar way, God indirectly answered my queries.

He told me these things, “keep calm, do not let your thoughts run wild. Just listen to the word and let it happen.” I was like, “yes I know all that, what is it that I don`t know?” In the end, I just decided to let anything go according to his plan, that was to go ahead with the water baptism. Whatever happened, I`ll just let God take everything under control. “…plan to prosper you and not to harm you…” this is what I kept on hearing in my head whenever I feel confused. 

The day started with meeting with the guys. We had lunch then went straight to YWCA. After a short service, we were led to the swimming pool deck. First I witnesses my friends` baptism and soon it was my turn. As I stood in the water, I felt a little nervous and cold but God`s warmth soon engulfed me. I closed my eyes and prayed. And when I opened my eyes, I could see nothing but a very bright light that I thought were the sun`s reflection on the water surface.

Here`s smth that was captured on my friend`s cam. Perhaps it happens to everyone also…it`s just whether u realise it or not.

bright light

Till now, I couldn`t make out what it was. But one thing I know. It made me shiver and feel so deeply humbled in the presence of the holy spirit. After the baptism, I felt somehow “different” , like I wasn`t myself anymore. Every materialistic and worldly things that I thought was going to make me happy in the world, did not make me feel elated at all. I just knew at that instant that I wouldn`t turn my back to God-that I would follow whatever plans he had for me. ” He was there, before the world began..” “He had you in his mind before you were born”.

I am a deep contemplator and I often think about God and his words, sometimes even doubting his words. But the fact that God`s little little miracles keep on appearing in my daily life slowly makes me a believer. One thing I wish in life is to experience God`s biggest miracle that would make even a free thinker believe in him.

Long day on Wed

It was a long day on Wed. We did evaxing as soon as we ended school. And so far the response from people was good.. Got to know a few peeps and someone that I hope I would one day bring to know Christ and they`ll finally see what a bunch of happy and peacefull people we are…LOL

After that, we got a few classes till 4pm. Then early dinner time!! Then we visited Xue Ting who was ill.

Thank God , I saw her so energised and well this afternoon:) I think that`s because of Darren`s prayer for her at her void deck that day we visited her..hehe B-)

After that, we felt the itch for some badminton game so we played till 8pm.. It was fun playing with the guys and someone is definitely getting better than me….haha =)  A bit muscle ache after the game….but it was certainly worth it…cos that game burned lots of fats…haha.. It was a good exercise..

Looking ahead to Sat`s prayer walk and Sun`s water baptism.. B-)

Highest part time pay

On Sunday, after sending my dad to Changi, I went with Sabby The Rabbit and Jordan…:) who is back in singapore for only a month from Australia  !! Sabby looks..er..his usual chic and “act cute” look ..Haha..

I Found it so hard to believe when I heard from Jordan that in Australia, part timers like students are being paid more than twice our part time salary here, like around AUS$20 per hour for a job at a bookstore!!!   I was like, “Haha…I work my ass off as a marketing di at Cali …so stressfull sia …haha…and I only get an average of $10 per hour plus commission and that`s the highest paying part time job I know in Singpore so far!! Last time even worse…I got only $5, $6 per hour plus commision working in a department store selling branded perfume!!

Perhaps the standard of living in Australia is higher than it is here, I tried to console myself..

I am wondering now if there is an even better paying part time job here in Singapore.. Anyone pls comment…curious here:) 

random..;)

Water baptism

(listening to: “I can only Imagine” by Mercy me)

 

CG was so enriching and fun on Friday. It was only my second time joining them but somehow I felt like I had been attending it for a long time. Felt so happy and blessed on Sat. Though it was a very long day, with prayer meeting from 2pm till almost 5pm then church service from 5.45 to around 8, we felt so light and “free” after that. Then we had dinner at Centrepoint to catch up with the guys. I was wondering if this was a small miracle. At first, I was apprehensive about the Water baptism but with my CG` s continuous support and spiritual guidance, I finally said OK…haha and even better, my shepherd Shawn, Glen, Wei Xiong and “who shall not be named here LOL”  agreed to be baptised together next Sun…B-) I was like : “Thank God , I dun need to feel so stressed about being baptised alone anymore!” Haha,…I can tell Lemmuel was damn happy that night. His whole care group was baptised!!! and  Chia Min too!!!!  Thank God for that!!! 

I wanna be a testimony to God, and stop sitting on the fence.. =)

The Road Not Taken

The Road Not Taken   Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim Because it was grassy and wanted wear, Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I marked the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.
