Time passes so quickly.... :):):)
Good Sunday morning all.....
Dr Chand was just asking me last night what happened to my journals....hehehehe......and yeah....i told him....on the way....and here it comes......
Monday.....Vday, nothing much...nothing spectacular....just went for a drink with a friend.......and yeah.....nothing much happened.....just pretty normal for "YOU GUYS" out there who thinks that there would be something exciting for me....HAHAAH :D:D:D:D
Tuesday....what did i do....hang on....check diary....hahha.....ohhh....went out for dinner with a friend.....and yeah....discussed about cell stuff......and nothing much also lah.....just discussing about how and what to share at cell.....i didnt do much also....coz he was gonna lead cell the next day......work was great......!!!!! :) enjoyed myself at work.....haiyah.....i always enjoy myself at work anyways..... :) coz i take pride in what i do....heheheh :D:D:D:D........at night....spoke to my current cell leader about stuff.....and spoke to mike.....mike told me a few things.....which i took into consideration lah.....but.....all is well now..... :):):)
then wednesday.....nothing much happened....work was like....errr.....i felt like a zombie the whole day....just couldnt concentrate......trying hard to focus......but.....anyway.....i guess coz had this confusion in myself......and just had to get things right with myself and God.......i felt i wasnt behaving like a christian!!!!! just felt a bit condemned...coz i felt that i was just leading people on.....and that is not my intention........and i dont like to feel that way......so sorta made a hasty decision........and yeah....now think back....i shouldnt have....anyway.....was doing my QT......and yeah......this verse......Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadows of death, I will fear no evil; For you are with me, Your rod and Your staff they comfort me. and also Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.........and i learnt that when you have the fear of the Lord, you would love and acknowledge His ways and will follow Him faithfully......and if there is anything in your life that needs to be filtered, lift them up to the Lord and He will help you in everything you do....in every step you take!!!!! Also, the guilt we feel is not meant to overwhelm us or plunge us into despair. We are to draw nearer to God and seek for forgiveness and seek His help to be more like Jesus. When we seek and receive God's help, we are transformed into people who no longer seek easy tasks or simple lives, but hard tasks and difficult challenges......and now.....i truly believe that God is moulding me to be the person He wants me to be..... :):):)
Thursday.......great time at work!!!! enjoyed every bit of work.....anyway....as mentioned....i guess if we take pride in what we do....everything becomes a pleasure...... :):):).....a friend came over to my place...just talk lah.....

Great Sunday....at church.....
Good Sunday evening everyone.....
the week passed by very slowly last week......thursday night.....went out for dinner with a friend.....his bday......went for dinner and a drink....and had a good chat........then.....friday......work.....and had a great day at work......was really great.....my poor manager...had to go physio coz he injured his back......felt kinda bad for him......anyway......work went kinda well.....but was really really busy and abit stressed lah.....coz.....somehow.....was rushing to meet my personal target lah.....more of giving myself pressure....haha....coz....i wanna do better than what i am doing now.......so pushing myself a bit harder.....then friday night....met a high school friend....devina....gosh i havent seen her like for 7 years mann.......brought back loads of memories.....which is good.....and finally realised that i am kinda old liao....hahaha....but nemind...i am young at heart...... :):):).....went to uncle vincent's for dinner.....then headed to valentino's for coffee.....then finally went to utopia for a drink with mel.......i think i had overdose of bubble tea mann.......have been having it like the past few weeks mann....kinda sick of it....haha.....and worse thing is.....i am the kinda person....who doesnt really change my drinks......gosh....strawberry milk tea for the past few days.....past few weeks....nearly died.....but alright lah......
then saturday.....what happened yah....oh....did housework.....laundry......chatted with friends online......supposed to go do sports....but.....still not feeling tip top to do any......learnt a lot about relationships in a few hours.......hehehe....was having a sharing session with a friend.....about what he thinks about rships....etc etc.....hehhe....coz valentine's day coming...so this topic kinda just surfaced....hehehee.......
then.....wanted to go for coffee with a friend......then he suggested phantom of the opera....WHOOHOO!!!!.....finally someone is wililng to watch it with me.......it was all good......altho abit draggy....but the songs were nice.......enjoyed every part of it......but i pity my friend tho....coz i think he must be falling asleep....hahaha.......but i learnt something from the show as well.....forgiveness......shall not elaborate lah......but all in all...it was good.....reached home......washed up.......did qt.....prepared some stuff......and went to bed.....
today.....had a good time at church....had holy communion today.....although only sang two songs today.....but....the sermon ministered straight to me......pierced right into my heart......the message is about
being slow to get angry.....
1) dont take the bait.....(you have the choice to be offended or not)
2) play the movie......(think of the consequences before getting angry)
3) let grace invade your world.....(self explanatory)....hehhee
just thought i might share this with you all......also.....suggested to pastor......about a friend.....who is very passionate for god......to lead a cell...as our current cell is getting really big.......coz i have been getting suggestions from God that this friend of mine.....has passion and needs affirmation....and guess what? pastor shared the same sentiments as me!!!! :):):) so something good will be happening soon......praise god!!!!
then came home......started reading a book my friend lent me......tot i should read it quickly and return it to him......and when i started....i just went on and on.......as usual....being a bookworm...hahaha....but it's really great....i havent finished it yet.....but...its about brother yun....who actually went through the trials and tribulations in china when he was preaching the gospel.....being in a regimental country like china...running away from authorities....getting tortured in prison......etc etc...i havent finished it yet...but its good....it just makes me think what a comfy society we are living in....where we dont have to worry about anything when we share christ with people....but yet.....we dont do it.......it makes me think about how i can really make a difference to other people's life as well......it's really encouraging to know that in the midst of the snags....the believers there still actually held on strong to the beliefs......there were a few parts i read.....that actualyl brought tears to my eyes.......i think the first one was when he was just a teenager....and he just started to know about Christ....and he was longing for a bible.....and how he prayed for it....fasted for it.....just makes me think hey.....like......how passionate a person could be.......and what a lousy person i am.....(but no...i am not gonna think along those lines....am gonna think of how i can make it better instead of putting myself down...hehe)......yeah...the book is good.....give you guys the title....if you are keen to read...."The Heavenly Man......with Paul Hattaway"....there are lots more to share....maybe next time......but....i learnt a lot.....thru the one hour plus of reading that book....am going back to it in a while.....i am only 1/5 done with it.....getting back to it after this journal......
just came home from meeting a friend who will be flying back to melbourne later tonight......caught up over coffee.....and it was good......realised that we have mutual friends as well....hahaha.....and yeah....shared a bit of our lives in the past.....current.....church, cell, etc.......and got to know each other a bit.....overall was enjoyable...altho just a short time......more chances in future..... :):):)
ok.....sunday today.....glad my housework are all done.....get to really just rest....do what i wanna do......has been a good weekend......altho no sports lah.....may need to see doctor for my shoulders.....but should be alsight lah.....
gonna pen a stop here.......have a great sunday!!!!!!! and a great week ahead!!!!! cheers!

something to share....when i was doing my QT last sun....
Exodus 23:1 You shall not circulate a false report. Do not put your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness
- If you tell the truth the first time, you wont have anything to remember
- Truth extends honesty, if you're honest in your dealings, you never have to remember who you have cheated
- Truth extends encouragement. If you speak a positive truth about all people, you never have to avoid anyone
- Truth extends implication. If you refuse to give false impressions, you never feel the need to cover up
- If you refrain from twisting truth, you will never need to unravel a relationship gone awry
This is what i learnt from QT that night......and just wanted to share with everyone....the message is awesome......!!!!! Honesty is always the best policy....is always a good one hey??? hehehehe....so now learning to be more honest towards my own feelings......:):):)
Also.....i was a bit angry with my parents for somethings lah.....and this verse came along.....
Exodus 20:12 Honour your father and mother that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord is giving you
- very often parents make mistakes
- rather than criticise them, or blame them for their errors, we can choose to focus on what they did right
- in turning our attention to their positive qualities and deeds, no matter how small, we will find no difficulty giving them honour
finally....last one lah....dun fall asleep lah!!! ehehe...this is a good one too...just had been awesome...my qt!!!!
Matthew 23:11 But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant
- real success doesnt come in thinking you have arrived at a place where others should serve you, but you have arrived at a position where you can serve others.......
ok.....my sharing for the day...heheheh :D:D:D:D .....sorry lah...bore you all....but....err...just had to share with you all lah!!!! heheheeh.....i am just so grateful to God......for being with me throughout the days of my life....!!!!! just have to give Him some glory lah!!! hehehe....
okok...wun go on....hahaha.....
