The week passed has been great! Work abit stressful here and there.....and alright lah....still bearable......and my colleague is back too from her holidays....so at least now...got someone to talk to in office...hehehe :):):) not that i dont talk to other colleagues in office....but yeah...at least with this colleague of mine....we talk about stuff......and not just weather and politics..... :):):)
Seem to have lost the touch of writing journals after the long break......havent written for ages mann.......it's hard now as well....coz I need to turn on their comp to get mine hooked up to internet....sometimes.....at night.....my internet connection just goes off coz they turn off their comp in their room......then....i also paiseh to knock at their door and ask them to turn on.....so will just go to bed lah!!!! :(:(:( but alright lah.....will just take it as a discipline for myself.....time to get some rest....heheh......just gotta take it positively lah....rite? if not life's gonna be so miserable.....
did QT last night......and read this verse.......Proverbs 11:4 Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death........just taking out of context abit....about riches.....money cannot buy the affection of any relationships....whether with family, friends, partner, children, etc........coz love needs presence, time, attention.......these are the more valuable things we need to look out for than money!!!!! at times, we as humans get so focussed on how to earn money.....to give our families better lives, but we fail to realise that they would want much more of our love and time than anything else in the world......so for all you out there.....who does nothing but work......would really love to encourage you guys to spend more time building relationships....than just sticking your face into your files, facing your comp......churning reports....etc......we know that we need to have money to survive in this world.....but there ought to be a balance!!!! :):):) anyway.....that is what i am gonna apply to my life lah....it has always been like this for me anyway.......i think i am not too caught up with work....or at least....i will set aside weekends for family and loved ones.......well....sorry to bore anyone.......jus a bit of my sharing..... :):):)
One more sharing for the day......Proverbs 10:17 He who keeps instructions is in the way of life, But he who refuses correction goes astray.......i learnt that if we are willing to open our hearts and listen, and willing to correct the mistake with and open mind, God would be able to do so much more with our lives.....at times we just shut all these out and we find that we will remain stagnant......that is what happened to me in the past.......in terms of spiritual growth lah.....I feel that certain things are not done the right way.....and burnt the whole forest down because of one tree.......which is really bad.....i know deep down......i have to correct my way of thinking first before anything....but yeah....am glad that i have grown out of that.....and now i think....or hope to think that i am more willing to accept constructive comments/suggestions/criticism.......receive everything in a positive manner, reflect on it.....and yeah......try to change.....coz....for things to change....we gotta change first!!!
ok lah.....with my life...nothing exciting...besides getting used to my housemates.....getting to know them better.....hopefully....talk a bit more to them now......but they are a couple....so dun really wanna intrude their privacy lah.....spending a bit more time with david.....and praying for each other...discussing about God......and yeah.....am blessed that God sent me so many good and caring friends here in Perth!!!!! Thought this time in Perth would be a long and draggy one....but hey....its passing by faster than I thought it would.....its already March!!!!! so fast mann.......may be going back to msia/spore for a while....if time factor permits.....maybe for a couple of months or so? maybe lah....see how lah.....
just having a debate with a friend in spore....(victor) about guys going for looks more than anything else...of course not all guys....but most guys i guess.......would choose the prettier ones.....if they can...hahaha.....yeah....better not go on with him about it....hahaha.....we will end up fighting....hahahah......
shall not blabber too much......have a great week ahead!!!! God bless all.....and cheers!!!!!
ps: just have to put a pic of something lah.....so.....a pic of my new kiddy shoes....hahaha...... :):):)
Am glad to see that you're enjoying your time in Perth so far. Am also glad that you have grown so much in the Lord when you can dissect & expound the Word of God !! Hallelujah! My prayers have been answered !! (haha)

So praytell, who's your boyfriend? Is it Dave? How's he? Singapore or Malaysian? Introduce him to us leh....... ;-)
ReplyDeleteaiyoh henry sometimes u are very slow lah... i mean for a guy who has many experiences in BGR you shld oredi know who lean's new bf is wat.. i oredi told u previously tat he's the guy who likes to play guitar and is featured in many of lynnie's photos in her photo album...hahahahaha... in fact hes featured even more in the recent easter photo album doing houshold chores and peeling eggs and cooking or something... hahahahahaha... i guess lynnie likes a guy who can cook eh?? ...
ReplyDeleteIm assuming that lynnie's bf is malaysian... but dont know wat he is doing... if u read lynnie's recent addition to the journal, when they pak tor, they are doing bible study together!!! waaah... so spiritual ah.. maybe they are reading Songs of Solomon together...hahahahahahahahahahha..lol... i couldnt help that.. anyway i guess it isnt any problem at all for lynnie to get attached as proven by time and again...
Also singlehood DOESNT ROCK... i just wanted to correct the common misconception of the fact... sure it has more freedom and priveleges ... but do u want to be single for the rest of ur life?? its so boring.. even Henry who is single now, would want to get attached as soon as possible but due to restrictions imposed by church authorities above him, will have to wait now. As for me, i havnt met anyone yet here in India due to time restrictions.. so dont know how..
Anyway im going back to singapore in a few days time.. cant wait for lynnie's treat when she's in singapore... maybe Crystal Jade Palace eh lean?? Hmmmmmm dim summmmm.... kekekekkeke... okie take care.. byee
aiyoh chandy, singlehood DOES ROCK lah. Your statement itself is a misconception that singlehood is boring & lonely. Hahah...
ReplyDeleteSinglehood, though meaning that you are gf/bf-less, it does not mean you are "lonely". As i've said quite a few times already, loneliness is a state of mind. You can still be lonely & bored even when you're married !! This is confirmed both biblically & real-life testimonies from couples. If you get attached/married to the wrong person, either different frequencies or incompatibilities or uncompromising characteristics will rob you of your joy of "marriage"; thereby causing loneliness or depression or boredom.
Take it from us (who have gone through a substantial amt of courtship) that getting attached is not the end goal of life. Be happy & fulfilled as a single first, and when you do get attached, you will have so much more to provide to your Other Half. :-)
And as for my case, we'll talk about it in my next message.......... ;-)
Welll for a person who HASNT been attached before, i guess i can truly say its boring and lonely most of the time... of cos pple always say the other side is greener especially those who have gone thru relationships before..but for pple who have been single for so long, there comes a time when loneliness becomes quite depressing after some time....
ReplyDeleteI agree with Henry tat if u marry the wrong person, of cos there is going to be a lot of unhappiness etc. But i would like to quote Henry this statement from his answer "You can still be lonely & bored even when you're married !! This is confirmed both biblically & real-life testimonies from couples" So Henry which bibilical passage confirms this???:P hahahaha.. i cant think of any at the moment ...
Loneliness is the state of mind..... is it really?? So lets say if u are placed in a dungeon with no other human contact, can u say that u are not going to be lonely?? So are u going to imgaine/fantasize things so that u wont be lonely?? hahahahaha...
anyway its interesting to note people have different opinions on this.. well to those who r attached, enjoy it... to those who are single and getting old as Henry, enjoy it also but look for someone at the same time..hahaha.. cheers!
