Days in SIMTech, NTU

I reliase I dun really like programming! Those DOS command looked aliens to me and I do not know how to communicate with them!!!

Unable to use this JAM/MR tool to build the application, therefore cant add in any trace info. Oops, how to do? I do not know ler... On the other hand, I am thankful that I get to know self a little bit more. My interest might not be in coding... Hmmm perhaps this is why some doors are never opened? Dunno. Maybe, possible or it could be just a wild and silly thought only...

Hate to come SIMTech at times as need to take bus179 to NTU. Althought the journey is shorter and comparably nearer to my house, I dislike the inconveniences. Kekek.. spolit girl! Ah well, i get to taste lots nice n cheap food here. Kekek.. and I was so happy to spot a few hallmates, and CFers yesterday during meal hours. So nice and heartwarming esp when i saw junyi and darren. Since 1999 we were in the same hall till we grad...haha.. how time flies.. and now junyi is back for Master while Darren is wid NIE. Unbelievable!!!

I am goin to stuck in this stupid Argyll CMS... haiz...

3 Ms...

Misunderstanding
==============
Had a good working adult grp last Friday. It was about 'Misunderstanding'. Many a times, we tend to see things from different perspectives and thus different views. Nothing bad actually, we just have to learn to think, listen, understand and discern the variants. If you are lacking of wisdom, ask from HIM! (James 1:5)

Morning breakfast
==============
This is the first time I see most of them so punctual and enthu for our CG gathering. It was a farewell breakfast for the 2 girls and a mini celebration for YT whose birthday was on 24th. Thank God for the time. I am grateful!!!

Mayo shredded chicken, mayo-tuna, tomato, cheese cubes, wholemeal bread, papaya, watermelon, duku, milk and orange juice. That's what we had for our bf!! I enjoy preparing food for those I want to share love with. Although it is not very yummy and fantastic but it is the thoughts that count! I like cooking, i like baking and I love food! haha.. oops... must watch what you eat... haha =)


Post Mid-autumn celebration
======================
Met many old aunties and uncles from old Nantah last night. They are a bunch of lovely, fun-loving and kind ex-Cfers. They shared their testimonies on how they 'borrow' time from God and How gracious God is in their lives. Guess what, they were so happy to see us, the new blood participating in their activities. We look extremely precious! haa.. only a few of us turned up actually. Gd fren n Lio, JY, YF, Andy n SM. Had a nice chat wid gd fren. Thank God for the frenship we had over the years. The trust and the honesty we have for one another... a fren whom I can turn to when I am not OK. Hope this frenship will continue to blossom as we grow older =)

I prayed b4 the gathering. I know I will see them and thank God that the relationship has improved and I truly believe that In Christ, there should not be hatred but love and forgiveness. I pray to God that I can truly released from that burden and have reconciliation in HIM. I can, by His grace and strength!

===========================================

It is a brand new week! Yahoo..i look forward to the family trip....kekek ;p

祂至今仍然活在我们当中!

Got this reminder yesterday during xiao zu...

虽然神有时候没有应允和成就我们所祈求的事, 这并不表示祂不在!! 祂依然在我们当中!

I am goin to lead this song dis sun. This song keeps reminding me that I need to do things in accordance to His plan and purposes. I need to trust my Lord wholeheartedly in all things and believe that He makes all things beutiful in His time.

若非耶和华建造房屋 建造的人就枉然劳力
若非耶和华看守城池 看守的人就枉然儆醒

我行若非神所愿 一切将拆毁
我行若无神祝福 一切都将枉然

我所需要持受的 只是一颗心
一颗完全相信的 坚定倚靠的心

20th day of the 9th month in 2005

How time flies! Today is the 20th day of moi Septembre le. What have I done for the past 20 days?

Do not know what to say
------------------------
Recently I suddenly become speechless when it comes to prayers. I do not know how should I pray and what to tell my abba father in heaven. Loss of words and I become so numb. I really need Holy spirit to intercede for me.

I know He knows what is in my mind and He knows everything about me. He sees it and He will not just leave me alone. I know, I know... Someone suggested that I can just sing songs when I dunno what & how to pray. It makes sense, ya?


Something to give thanks
-------------------------
Seeing myself participate more in church ministry recently i.e. Labis mission trip, Lishi CG17 group and Working adult group. I guess it is time for me to respond to God's calling towards the congregations. This is something good and worth of giving thanks. I am sure I will get to learn alot. Well, it wont be an easy path and it can be quite challenging and tough job.

God lets me reliase that I need to be gentler and more humble while working wid the rest. He allows me to see the vision and I have the responsilities to share with the rest. I need to be more careful with my thoughts and my words so that what i do, i say, i think do honour God and is God-fearing.

Heard this statement from Dr Loo recently during a talk on God's sovereignty.

Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.

You know what... our THOUGHTs control our ACTIONs, then soon it becomes our HABIT. Eventually it develops into our CHARACTERs and it affects our LIVEs and becomes PART OF US.

Isn't it scary? Hmm what you think can have such a great impact on your life! Do you reliase it? Come on, LY... you better dwell in the Lord always and ask HIM to guard your HEART =)

People come people go
----------------------
Hmm finally 2 students are leaving for UK soon. Glad to have a chance to actually lead them as a group. Sometimes I feel so close yet I do feel so far at times. Well, I really hope that they can continue to witness God in whatever they are doing and may God mould them into a better and God-fearing person.

Like to mention one of them. I feel that she is faithful, gentle and a person with gratitude. A very simple lady and I am glad that I actually able to grow with her in certain part of her life journey. Maybe I have influenced her some bad values... haha =p ah well, I do have some positive influences too. Hee =) I recall the sms which she sent was quite heart warming and it has since become my reminder when I feel discouraged.
It says: When the going gets tough, toughen your faith

Indeed a very simple and normal message, somehow at that point of time it touches me =)

SIghz...

Ms Bong reminds me this in response tio my poem...

****
No matter how good things are in your life,there is always something bad that needs to be worked on. and no matter how bad things in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for. you can focus on your purposes, or focus on your problems.
****

I totally agree but I do not know how do I relate... haiz.. mental blocked.

以为...其实...

以为满足 其实内心有些空虚
以为喜乐 其实里面纳闷得很
以为忙碌 其实又悠闲又无聊
以为可定下心来 其实更举棋不定
以为平静 其实是暴风雪来临前夕
以为知道 其实脑子一片空白

太多以为... 导致我不懂该如何面对现实...
惊慌失措... 思路乱得很...
我讨厌...我不喜欢.... 这样的安排!!!

some disorganized thoughts

Hmm somehow I fear of coming to work. Scared to see his face and talk to him. The morale in office is low... I gotta 振作 abit... must... Good fren and nice proj manager are gone and I'm a bit sad...

***************************************************
A leader should see the vision first from God then he can only impart it to the fellow followers. Actually I always think that God's expectations is our expectations too. So so we need to work harder towards the goal. We need to 体恤 mankind's weaknesses but we cant always compromise in certain things that God does not honour. Haiz... Maybe I expect too much? Not humble enough? Too high ego? But i was trained like that ler... during my teenage times, uni days and now!!!

I shared with JW and SM some of my thoughts ..at least i can share it freely and as I wished. Thanks God for the brothers I met in CCF, they are quite helpful,wise and reliable.

When you have problems, do not ask 'Why me?'. But ask 'What you want me to learn out of it?'. OK, i am learning...

****************************************************

NCS? NCS! NCS... Should I try it out? Dun really know how should I react... OK, I will try and if the door is opened, I will walk towards the door.

my labour day + Tioman trip

5th Sept is my labour day of the year!! I took one day leave n rest at home. But it is for good reason.

I was reminded twice a day for the same message and I am thankful for the light that God has shed upon me.

First reminder - daily bread
====================

1. No matter what our task, it's our duty to work for God's glory (Colossians 3:23). In this sense, no job is better than another. Each should result in honor to God.

2. The way we work can earn the respect of those who do not follow Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:11-12). A boss shouldn't have to tell a Christian to use time well or to work hard.

3. Our work is one way to fulfill our dual purpose: to love God and others. Showing love to our co-workers is a good way to show that we love God (Matthew 22:37-40).

4. We must work to provide for those who depend on us. Harsh words of criticism are reserved for those who don't take care of their family (1 Timothy 5:8).

Having a job can be hard work. Even for those who truly enjoy their jobs, it's nice to have a Labor Day breather. But until the day comes when our work is over, our task is to make our labor a testimony to God's glory. —Dave Branon

Second reminder = ELder Yong @ Monday Blue talk
=====================================

1. Work is sacred. It is given to us by God. God wants Adam to work even before he sins.
2. Enjoy the labour of your work. Work hard and enjoy what you gets
3. Always go back to God, align with His teaching. The most difficult lesson is life is to abide God's teaching in the most simplest things i.e. work, relationship
4. Try to do something with eternal values rather than temporal values

God allows us to do certain things and make sure you make selection not beyond the boundary He has set. He still grant us freedom and let us choose what kind of man we want to be. But do not forget that you need to be responsible for what you choose.

Always, go back to God n seek His wills.

Actually I am going thru some changes at work especially. I am worried that I am unable to face the challenges ahead. It is gonna to be tough but challenging. I need to shoulder more responsibilities and learn new things at work. Somehow I am lacking of patience and a humble soul. I am not sure the path I am taking on is correct anot, I am in a dilemma but I always think that God's grace is suffiicient for me! Amen.

**************************************************

Went to Tioman for my Open water diving course. It was fun. I tried something different and that is challenging! I am kinda proud of myself and I really thank God for the scuba clan I went with and the nice instructors I have.

Thank God that we are safe throught the trip. I guess I get to know others more and vice versa, which is a good thing.

Thank God again for this dive experience. I might be going again... Hee =)

Thank God that the second pool lesson was OK! I start to enjoy myself liao. I am grateful to those who actually pray for me. It is so nice and pleasant to know that you are being remembered in their prayers.

The fellow teammates are kind and encouraging also. They are Sherry, Qiyu, Qingxian, & FangJing. Oh ya, Roy is indeed a very patient and responsible dive master. Glad to have him as our instructor. By His grace and mercies, I slowly regain my confidence and want to dive again!

I still have not get a hang of the skills I learnt for past 2 sessions. Well, practise makes perfect. I must persevere and do not give up. Cast all my anxiety to my Lord God for He cares for me =)

We will be setting off for our Tioman trip in 7 hrs time! whoohoo!! =D Hope we can enjoy ourselves and have fun!!! Enjoy the nature that our Lord God, the creator of heaven and earth give to us!!! Hmm so must keep this golden rule in my mind, DO NOT STOP BREATHING....n be careful!!!

lastly, a big thank you to Xihao for your encouragement =) Mug hard and enjoy what you are studying!!!!!

dive dive dive

I feel exhausted, physically and mentally...

Been attending scuba diving lesson since Monday. Theory part was OK. Err... the pool part, haiz..feel sad and demoralised.
I feel so stupid. I fear of trapping myself in the water! HOw how? I am going to Tioman in 2 days time!

Please pray for the calmness and a sound mind to think and act carefully while I am underwater for maybe 10m++... Kinda scared and worried actually. Din sleep last night, all night long this 'BCD' word keep flashing thru my mind. *sob sob* insecure is the word to use.

What if i become too panicky while stay underwater? =*(

tonight is the second night of the pool lesson. Gosh, more difficult stuffs to learn... OK, be steady... This trip shd be relaxing, no stress please...

btw, I thx God dat the instructor, Roy is quite nice and patient. Really, i feel I am a bit slow n clumsy =(
