Interesting Day

Its so amazing!

I am now at Xuan's school, waiting for her. Because I finish dance class early, so decide to bring my company laptop to her school, and do work while waiting for her to finish class.

Was trying out the internet option, and my eyes nearly pop out when the internet was connected! Free internet access wor.... waaaaaa....

So now I can blog, do my work, and wait for her! Good thing my company laptop powerful enuff!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today something very funny happened.

I was having a conversation with my mummy.....

Because we are going to Taiwan to attend a friend's wedding on Friday, my mum was busying packing her clothes into her suitcase. While packing, she noticed something crawling in her warobe. Got the shock of her life - Termites.....

She quickly notify my father, who in turn called up the contractor and of course the pest control team. Thinking that this incident will dampen the good spirit of my mother, I immediately called her up to talk to her....


While on the phone, I kept asking her how she felt..... she was frustrated because the occurrence of this thing deter her from going to the afternoon karaoke session with her friends! hahahha.... then she said , "BUUTTTTT (in very loud emphasis tone)............. i'll get to change a new warobe!"


I was laughing at her answer......the conversation goes on............


I kept telling her if discover TERMITES.... must inform HDB right away...... cos might have Termite nest somewhere along the whole block...... then she kept talking about got contractor comes...... got pest control team comes......


Throughout the whole conversation.... I kept emphasizing to my mum that if she's sure that it is termites....... must inform HDB....! Then I continue to ask her to confirm if she has did that..... and my mum kept telling me other stuff..... "like pest control team will surely tell HDB one la".....


I cannot take it anymore..... so I ask her..... YOU CONFIRM THOSE ARE TERMITES?


She paused for a while and asked me,


"What does Termite look like?"

Waaa..... i was in office leh............. nearly laugh until roll on the floor!!!!

The End is Better Than The Beginning

It was my birthday last Monday, 5 June 2006. This is a special day – the birth of a child of God FEW years ago ;op

It was really a great week on hindsight. However, only 5 June Monday itself, I don’t feel very happy on that day. It was my birthday, yet I have to go Expo and revise for my studies. Can’t celebrate and play. Can’t relax because my exam was on Wednesday.


The comforting part was a good friend of mine sms me at 1am in the morning to wish me happy birthday. The 2nd person to sms Happy Birthday was Bro. Ziwei in the morning. My family seem to forget all about it. They did not sing me birthday song, neither did they send me any sms. I felt moody the whole day.


Its like something is not right when someone close to you don’t come to you with a birthday cake full of candles and sing happy birthday song to you. I reached home at about 9.45pm and just when I was about to feel that my birthday is over just like that, my cute brother (aka PINKIE DOG) waited for me to open the door when I went home, and came out to me with a cake out of the dark (he switched off all the lights).


The funny part was my brother (aka PINKIE DOG) was a ONE-MAN show. Saw him juggle between the camera, the cake and the candles. Because my mother was not at home, he has to prepare the cake and candles. He also tried to be funny by sticking candles on the floor to make two funny words – “Lau Gao” (meaning “Monkey” in Hokkien dialect). This word originates from my Monkey (Chinese zodiac). End up the candles formation are not successful and my sister accidentally stepped on the formation. Ooops! hahahha....



Notice the video camera? It was a blessing from my sister xuan. Initially she wanted to buy a digital camera, and saved up money for it. But as she visited the PC fair, she knew that I always wanted a video camera, and thus she decided to spend her money to buy me the video camera instead and forgo her desire to buy a digital camera. What a great sis I have.

When I saw my pinkie dog coming out with a cake, everything becomes so bright! Its like using the right key to open the door. At that moment I understand why I felt sad the whole day. Felt so touched by my pinkie’s surprises. Of course my dear sis xuan got a hand in it as well ;o)

On 7 June, wed, was my exam. It was one of the best examinations I’ve ever had. What a great exam on my birthday week.


Bro. Ziwei said the cg’s going to celebrate my birthday on sat. I really look forward to it. When the whole cg sang birthday song to me, I felt so happy. Its really great to have a spiritual family who “goes through thick and think with you”. Hahhahaha….


Estee and Kelvin gave me a set of beautiful necklace and earrings. Xiangcen gonna give me an interesting bag, and Bro. Ziwei gave me Pastor Sun’s CD. The best part was, he let me choose which album I like, since got 2 different covers. CG gave me a christian book "Fear of the Lord." what a great book!


On Sunday 11 June, my daddy brought the whole family to zoo. My mum was so excited that she said we going to “visit our relatives”. Laugh die me….


It was very sunny at first, but at the later afternoon, rain started to pour. It was disappointing at first, seeing that the animal show had to end when it already started. As we headed back to the starting point, wondering what to do next, my wise sister xiao xuan suddenly suggested a great idea. That we could all wear those transparent rain coat and go visiting the animals in the rain!


We ended up having a GREAT TIME. Here’s some interesting scenes at the zoo. Gonna put a smile on your face….








What a joy having no exam stress and just relaxing and walking down the Memory Lane via my transportation vehicle called Bloggie.

A cosy bedroom, living room, kitchen, balcony.....

1 Kings 9:2-4 (NKJV)

that the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon. And the LORD said to him: “I have heard your prayer and your supplication that you have made before Me; I have consecrated this house which you have built to put My name there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.


Building fund is not something new, and it is something that takes us out of our comfort zone. Every OPPORTUNITY to fulfill our pledge is a new path to greater Faith and Love – forever etched in our memories, that will equip us to a higher level of courage, perseverance and abundance.


The first time I sowed into building fund was when we were still situated in Hollywood Theatre. At that time, I do not understand the profound meaning behind a love for the House of God. To me, I just want to do something for Someone who has rescued and comforted me in a devastating situation.


God’s grace has always been there for me. Considering myself to be a person of strong mindset, I decided to read the Word of God to strengthen myself, as I was given more and more opportunity to sow.


One night some years ago, God spoke to me as I sat down in a little corner of my room, just below my dressing table reading the bible. I felt this word “HONOUR”.


An overwhelming of God’s presence was in my room as I flipped through the bible and saw these 2 verses which really ministered to me:


2 Samuel 7:26-28 (NKJV)

So let Your name be magnified forever, saying, ‘The LORD of hosts is the God over Israel.’ And let the house of Your servant David be established before You. For You, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, have revealed this to Your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore Your servant has found it in his heart to pray this prayer to You. “And now, O Lord GOD, You are God, and Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant.


1 Chronicles 28: 10

“Consider now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong, and do it.”


These two verses are so close to my heart. When I saw these verses, I really felt in my heart that God was speaking to me. I felt God encouraging me and telling me that I am His chosen one, to build a beautiful tabernacle for Him. I felt God telling me that I will comprehend, and He will help me understand the purpose behind everything that has happened.


For many are called, but few chosen. (Matt 20: 16)


I felt that it is such a great honour to be part of this grand building project, and I want to be a part of this. I remembered that I kept telling God to include me in this big project. I asked God not to forget me and give me a chance. I asked God to remember me as I sow.


God specifically told me that He will put this desire in my heart, and I have to be strong, and just do it. Sometimes as we weigh the factors and circumstances, we tend to stop where we are, and forgot about keep going on. God knows, and He said, be strong, and do it.


Gal 6: 7, 9
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.


GOD is indeed very very very very very very very very very very GOOD.

Give All Glory to God - Examination

It is 1.39pm in the afternoon. I am in my car, on my way to Expo.
I have discovered a beautiful shortcut to TPE (Tampines Expressway). This short cut allows me to drive into a country side, where there is vast greenery and clear blue sky. Occasionally I can see a low flying commercial or fighter plane. There is an optional route to Seletar Airport too. The beautiful part is, this route is so near my house and it shortens the distance to Expo.


I reach Expo – Hall 9 at 2.10pm. This is the place where we normally have lunch and fellowship together as a cell group. There were lots of people waiting outside. Some were revising their notes, some are chatting. As for myself, I am standing right in the middle of the pathway, flipping through my notes for the very last time.


My seat no. is 2029. My sitting position is facing Hall 8. As I make myself comfortable in my little orange seat, I saw Hall 8 right in front of me. I felt so happy and secure just by looking at Hall 8. Because this is a place where we have our church services every weekend. I felt like there are hundreds of angels surrounding this exam premises.


I took out my pencil, pens, highlighters, ruler, big water bottle, NRIC, student card, and place them one by one nicely on the table. By the time I have settled down, its only 2.40pm. I have 20 minutes more! What should I do?!


I decided to lie on the table and rest my eyes. As I lay on the table, I kept praying in tongues and singing worship songs in my heart. This goes on for 10 mins! It feels so good! Wow….. I still got time to fellowship with God even in exam. Thank God for His Grace.


Finally its time to start the exam paper. This is the first time, in history of taking exam papers for my part time Accounting degree, that I can finish the paper before the bell rings, and not only that, but I can answer all questions with confidence, yet still got sufficient time to re-check all my answers!


Wow…… I want to thank God so much for helping me in this exam. Without God, I would not have the strength and wisdom to come this far. When I was tidying up my stuff, I found a letter that informed all students about the top placing in each examination for all subjects. I saw the paper I took last semester – Internal Control and Audit. There was one student who got 76 marks and was 3rd in Singapore Placing, and 12th in Worldwide Placing. I was so surprised. Because I got 71 marks for that subject!


Give All Glory to God.
