.. mia ..

been missing in action for more than a week.. :P

been very very busy for the past 1 week..

netball comp on mon, wed, fri.. thank God it's over!! YEAH!!

injured my left foot, right arm, over-stretched my abdomen.. can't walk straight.. hee.. aiyo really very jia lat.. age catching up with me? haha..

i feeling sleepy le.. thank GOD it's PH tmr!! YEAH!! so motivated to work today cos looking forward to a rest from work! :P aiyo i need a break from work.. thank God my leave is approaching... hoho... :D

looking forward to the outing with my ppl this sat... been a loong loong while since we go for some fun.. let's have fun, w116! ;P

Don't forget to invite your friends! :)

ZzzZzzZzz... good night everyone...

Father thank you for the day.. Good days are good days... Bad days also good days... because You are there.. :)

let's tarry through..

yeah! finally my tag board is back... using cbox now. thanks brandon for sharing! =)

sigh.. but lost all previous tags... nevertheless, take it as a brand new start! =)

today went for prayer meeting! hmmm... heard some remarks that they don't really know what pst albert is talking about. as in his points are flying everywhere.. do u agree?

Yes i do agree.. however, i feel, it also reflects the condition of our hearts.. our minds. This was one of the few times where i saw ppl leaving the place halfway thr the meeting. at least i counted there were 5 of them. perhaps some of them do have genuine reasons, they need to leave because they have some impt appointments to attend to.. even if so, can't they really just tarry through? my conviction is, i won't leave the house of God, until, the meeting is over, & pst says we can be dismissed! why? i just felt leaving the place while the preacher is still talking, is so disrespectful... Dis-honoring the servant of God --> Dis-honoring God. yes, it is that serious... at least it is to me..

not that i'm judging the people who left.. if they do have genuine reasons, they have to go. but those people who can actually stay, but chose to go.. well.. i do hope they can tarry through the next time when there's such a meeting again.

tarrying through.. it takes strength. discipline. tenacity. a love for the word of God. a love for the servants of God. when we find our mind drifts away, it is our responsibility to draw our mind back! FOCUS! listen! like what pst albert said, our daily spiritual warfare, flesh vs spirit. friends, let your spirit man rule over your flesh.

thank God my people tarried through. =)

but i do know some of my ppl who needs to learn to overcome their flesh... well.. dun fall asleep while in Svc or even BS. what's the point of attending, when the word is not going into your head, cos you are not even listening, because you fall asleep?!? Oh oh.... :P

well.. guys, build up your inner strength. tarry though with Me.. Jesus says.

Pst Albert. One of my most respected servant of God. He's just like the great apostle Paul in our generation. Gift of celibacy. Gave his whole life to serve the Lord. In a country where the freedom to worship cannot be compared to Singapore... yet he tarrys through & is still going strong. I won't forget the teachings he taught us in SOT, his sharings just awed us, awoke the spirit of martyrdom in us. When some servants of God left Sri Lanka when war broke out, claiming that God has called them to go ministering in other foreign lands, yet, he stayed. Not afraid of dying for the Lord. This is what a true disciple of Christ is all about.

He taught us. "Don't worry that you will die for God... In fact if you really die for God's sake, you should feel very honored cos only people of the early apostles' calibre will go through such martyrdom! Not any Tom, Dick & Harry will go through that, you know?" Haha.. all of us in that class that day laughed, yet, something had been planted in our hearts that day.

The spirit of martyrdom. Not afraid to face the persecution (or even death!) that comes along in our walk with the Lord.

In a peaceful country like Singapore we're living today, i don't think we will face such death-threathening situations lah... aiyo we are really so blessed. May none of us be in a stage of complacency & take things for granted because of that. Come on friends.. Let's appreciate the goodness of God over lives, and give Him the best of our lives, our everything..

alright.. enough nagging.. oops, i mean sharing.. :P

Hope all who read this blog today will receive something into their hearts...

Have a blessed week ahead... rejoice! for God is a GOOD God!

what happen??!!

"fa sheng she me shi??""...
what happened to my tag board?????..... can somebody help me?.....

hee... maybe the tag board facing some revamping hor?... hope it's back SOOOOOONNN..

- disappointment -

today was the 2nd match of the corporate's league.. our opponent was Standard Chartered Bank.. should be a game won, but, again, we lost..
hmmm.. ok lah.. gotta pick ourselves up lor. think we improved in quite a few areas from monday's game. so, will keep on keeping on! hee.. we will win de!
aiyo, injured my left foot today during the 2nd quarter.. clashed with the GA & someone else, twisted my left foot.. could felt the sharp pain.. got to be replaced.. the kind of feeling watching from the sideline is really different.. wanted so much to be part of the game. Shifu quickly went to buy a pain relief spray for me.. tried spraying on my left foot, and rested. was watching & cheering the team on.. 5 more mins to go, i felt better & so went back into the game. still, a little too late lah.. the final whistle was blown. we shaked a friendly hand-shake with our opponents, felt a little disappointed lah... really should have won the game.

scoreline: 19-10.

Monday's match against PWC: 11-33.

3 more matches to go, Monday, Wed & Friday! Safsa, Hong Leong & TTSH.

Come on gals, we can DO it!

ooooOOOooo... left foot really pain lo... I pray for healing in Jesus' name..

- - - - - -

this morning got really upset with one of my member.. should say disappointed lah, that's why the title of today's blog is
- disappointment - ....

Sent a SMS last night to remind this member about attending bible study @ YMCA.
this morning got a reply "can't make it, cos got work training."
- "What work training"?
- "Work training."
- "I know work training. Wat work training is that? Why is it today? Can you make some arrangement? Dun make it as if Bible Study is secondary, can?"
- "I cannot make it."
What reply was that? I was upset, and replied, "XX, wake up your idea! Doesn't mean that minimum 8 lessons for the quiz means you can skip 2 lessons. Finish all 10 lessons before you can take the quiz."
And you know what did this dear member reply?
- "I know! but i really got work until 8 plus today... i can't make arrangements because today is my first day.... understand?"
i replied, disappointed... "Wat attitude r u trying to show me? I'm fine with it if you can't make it today. Wait till next round lessons and u attend the makeup. Reflect on ur attitude shown."

the member never replied. i'm fine too. cos what else to say, if this is what u get from your people?

well. tell me. explain to me. i will understand. dun give me attitude. Is this the way to talk to your fellow friend-in-Christ?

guys. i can never imagine me talking to Pst CK nor Bro KH in such a way.. Respect & Love those whom God has placed you under.

I thought this member loved & respected me.. but apparently, it was not..

Well, i'm ok.. just a little disappointed this is all I get from my people. Think it's natural to feel that way.. I'm fine lo. The bible already says serving God is not smooth-sailing. it's not what you would want it to be. But, at the end of the day, as long as I know that I did my best in serving God & my people, that is enough.

Hmmm... may these last 3 months of 2006 really be a breakthrough for w116 in terms of growth, numerically & spiritually. Guys, We need to grow for the sake of the Kingdom!

Thank you Jesus for loving me.. It's Your love that gives me the strength to keep on living for You.

You deserve my best, my everything.

.. discipleship ..

yesterday was a day of discipleship.
i discipled my members.
sis evelyn discipled CK leaders after svc...
sowing & reaping??.. =)

i hope my members will know that discipleship is part & parcel of a christian walk..
i may be angry, but i still love them a lot..
pls dun hate me or be afraid of me..
i'm really a very nice person one...
dun leave church because of my discipleship, okie?
where i would want to see my CG to be? sis evelyn shared on what pst kong preached.
"Gone are the days where the people of God are unable, unwilling & doing the unnecessary."
perhaps this is where i would want to see my members be.
Enabled. Empowered. Ever willing to avail themselves.

I really felt my people are really good people. They love God.. are obedient.. teachable.. really a wonderful bunch of people to lead! praise God for w116!.. however, i know there's still many areas to work on.. esp in the area of attitude. not that they are bad, but, can be better! =)
Our attitude determines our altitude.. Attitude is very important!

Attitude towards loving the lost..
Attitude towards serving God in their ministry faithfully, & willingly..
Attitude towards loving the people in the CG..
Attitude towards respecting those in authority..

Attitude towards GOD.
Simple things like praise & worship, we should be giving our very best, simply because He deserves it.. these are the basics! what is a half-hearted praise or worship? it is equivalent to giving God a sub-standard kind of gift. Dun give to God. Give to the devil.

Bible study.. is it really so hard to be following through a consistent plan weekly?
still remember the good old days in hollywood where my CGL dun have to come after me, to remind me to go for bible study.. it's in my heart! in my spirit... the love for the word of God just removed all my tiredness.. it gave me strength. Will be queuing for svc at 4.30pm, all for the purpose of getting good seats for CG members. with sharon & cheryl, fellowshipping while queuing... no air-con, perspiring all over. still remember the kind of excitement & joy when the doors opened at 6pm, rushed in! felt the air-con! so cooling! getting centre seats will be our joy! =)
after svc, go for a quick dinner.. then rushed back for bible study. though late & feeling tired, yet it doesn't matter.. wow, those are the days of growing up in the Lord. Pleasant memories.. those were the days where the Lord built inner strength & tenacity in us...

i hope to see this kind of fire in my people. taking the responsibility over their own walk with the Lord. have the diligence to complete the different levels of bible study.. dun miss the lessons, if not have to play "catch-up" games... why make life so hard?

have the conviction about the importance of the Word of God - it will renew our minds, it will change our lives. guys, God has planned great things for your lives! =)

it's really time to lift up the standards of my people.. to be christians not by name, but by the way they live. it's not an easy job... it's tough..
but with God, all things are possible..
I have faith in God.. I have faith in my people.. I have faith to see with the eyes of faith that the people in w116 will be flourishing & prospering... top students, top performers, shining for God in all aspects!

Let our attitude towards giving be tested in this coming arise & build.. i believe w116 will pass this test very well cos we are a bunch of great givers. it's exciting days ahead... looking forward to seeing the move of God over the lives of my people & myself!

guys, discipleship will still be going on in the days ahead.. but do know that i really love you guys lots.

.. : : my new pair of shoes : : ..

yeah! finally got my pair of CROSS-TRAINING shoes!.. brand: NIKE! =)

want to know how it looks like?
photographer WEN took these for me... :P

nice? bright orange colour ya... today i can jump exceptionally higher in training.. ha.. but come to think of it, i think shoes really played an important role in the area of sports! shouldn't be neglected... me been out-wearing my NIKE sneakers leh.. anyway, am so glad to have this pair of shoes finally... thank you SHI FU for helping me to get it!!

wow! so many w116-ians tagged me! hee... am so overjoyed... thanks for all your encouragement & "jia you"s!.. will give my very best!! =)
(guys, wanna come down support my team @ Kallang Netball Centre on monday (9 oct 06), 7:30pm? hee... think will be so fun to have you guys around......... =D Those having exams pls stay at home to study!!.. those of you who are free, can come down support both me & shi fu lah.. give us physical support...)

aiyo... as the comp is drawing nearer... both me & shi fu are really feeling nervous over it. today we had our final training, think still got many areas to work on. however, we can't meet out for trainings anymore due to the busy schedule of all of us.. well well... leaving it into God's hands!

today had farewell with another colleague of mine.. finally, no more resignation, at least for now.. never seen so much resignations in such a short span of time. my team is really going through a time of tough patches.. changing team leader in the midst.. well well... changes are good! so i shall look to it with a good attitude.. may the Lord brings me to where He wants me to be in the marketplace... =)

"Preparing Yourself for a Miracle"... this week's CG message... it will be a good CGM once again!

it's getting closer...

had my netball training again today.. well, think my team really need to work on lots of areas.. the passings, the coordination, the shootings, the team work.. well, can't really place too much expectation lah, after all, all of us are just "non-professional" players who really just playing for fun..

once again not all turned up for practise. next mon is the start of the corporate's league already, and we haven't even had a training where all players turned up!! how to finalise the positions like that? how to know what are the areas to work on?.. demoralised... :(

today i tried playing attacking position.. aiyo, shooting was so rusty.. think me play defense better.. but i not aggressive also leh.. then how?? both also no good. today ppl kept shouting at me, "run out, run out!" i'm out, they ask me to run in. i'm in, they ask me to run out. i so pissed leh.. i shouted, "run out, run out, where do you want me to run?!!" :P

i told shi fu after this league, me not going to play netball already... she gave me a FROWN.. hee.. say say only lah. how will i give up so easily right?? :)

i'm the only one in my team who really didn't have netball background leh.. wonder why in my secondary days i didn't join netball leh?? aiyo.. really a very fun sports lor.

hmmm... what to do?

see how lah..

aiyo.. next monday is the start already.. really can feel the "gan-cheong"ness.. this wed we will have a final training.. i really hope it will be a fruitful one. think i'll focus on my defense position.. i pray my opponents will all be shorter than me.. HAHA! :D

ok lah.. just thought of sharing some frustrations out.. i will get better! well, just give my best lo. :)

i need to get a good pair of shoes quick!

.. final countdown ..

1st oct 2006.

3 more months to go & 2006 will be over!

let the last 3 months be so fulfilling, that whatever is lost, be found. whatever that has not been done, be accomplished! the latter days shall be better than the beginning! 2006 can still be the best year ever.. because GOD is with us! =D

Svc was fanstatic today. Pst Kong really preached from his spirit man.. we caught it! Ever-Ready for the upcoming Arise & Build! A season where God's faithfulness will be manifested yet again! may everyone in w116 arise to the occasion & be great givers, amen!

this will be my 5th time participating. vision: to build God a great house, in the "M", for the "M", to penetrate the "M". every time as i gave, yes, there will be sacrifices. but, God's blessings in return can never be put to comparison to what i had given. His blessings surpasses all.

i give Him all of me (which is very little),

in exchange for all of Him (can't be measured!)..

finally after a long while, we had a new friend who joined us for SVC! praise the Lord! i do hope he will stay with us. =)
thank you Di for reaching out! :)

may the last 3 months be the best that w116 had ever experienced in this year!

"all things are possible to him who believes..

all things are possible with God."
