Let me get this straight

I have been thinking about two sentences spoken regarding me some weeks back. Some weeks back, i made a mistakes and caused a little inconvenience to my ex-manager. Later that week, his colleague who is also from CHC came to know of it and together they said some nasty and sarcastic remarks. 

Here's my reply to them: So you think you're smart because of your achievement in your studies? You think you have authority/power because you're a manager? Good luck. But before you make any opinion or comments or jump to conclusion, may I suggest that check and double confirm the evidence you have are from the reliable source. What you think, feel and see may not match with what's going on.

For as long as you're breathing, all of us are sure to make mistakes, whether you know it or not. Complaining/grumbling/scolding vulgarities won't solve the problem. Stop complaining.

What is your purpose?

Just recently, i was hanging out with a bunch of guys at Hong Kong cafe. And while we were chatting away, there was this guy who from the time we sat down kept introducing aka ''advertisting'' his female friends which he claimed is single and looking for a partner to us. Was pretty disturbed by what he was doing. So i asked him,'' Is your purpose of joining this group? Is it for yourself, your desires, your needs only? He didn't answered. So i continue to ask,'' Are your friends really desperately having the urge for the merge? I know we all want to be attached and find a lifelong partner. But is your whole life revolving around your needs and desires only? If every guy is like this, where would the world be? The world is not just made up of just one type of guy. I know we have our own needs, desires, but the moment you and i came into this Earth, we are no longer alone. But even they are having the urge for the merge, are you close enough to help them? I'm trying to sow discord here but the fact still remains, it's their personal issue. Whether you know it or not, they have to deal or resolve it by themselves. I know you wanna help, but it seems like you have take things into your own hands.

Here's what i wanna say: Familiarity breeds contempt.

Thoughts

Well i know, it's been more than a month since i came back here. Well in fact, i have been thinking about some things on mind and in heart. I got a lot to share but this verse kinda summed up my thoughts.

 1-3 Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through.That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!

We saw the 6 accused standing on court in the entire month of August. So you might ask what/how does the above verse relate or link with the 6?

1.The 6 never quit when they began or started this church some 25 years ago.
2. They never lost sight of where they were going, therefore they, together with Him could put up with anything along the way which is the process and the journey to build this and the many churches around Asia.
3. And though we're not in the place of honor, yet we're right alongside with God.

To all who read this, ask yourself:
1. Where are you going in life? Have you lost sight of where you are going?
2. Are you giving up or losing sight? Do you have the character to put up with anything along the way?
3. Which is more important to you? The place of honor or right alongside with friends, family who have been with you?

Late Post: Tranche 4

I believe some of us have heard of the City Harvest Church trial happened some 4 years ago. Since that day, 6 have been accused of misuse of more than S$50m of church funds.

Well i wanna share what i or we believe.

1. We believe the One who has place them over as as leaders.
2. We believe the One who has been watching us even them to handle the monies given to them.
3. We believe the One has been with us, in us through the past 25 years.

But before you make any opinion or comments or jump to conclusion, may I suggest that you check and double confirm the evidence you have, are from the reliable source. What you think and/or feel and see may not match with what's going on.

Just the way you are

In this world we live in, we have two types of people. First group of people are people who are perfectly healthy, well to do financially, having a good job and family. And the second group of people are people who have physical/mental disability, may not have a high paying job, or have a proper functioning family.

Often when we choose our friends, or looking for a life partner, we like to choose friends who are like us. We believe that if i can be attached to this girl or boy, i will be happy. Why? Because we are on the same group of people. We have the same attributes. But what if someone from the other group wanna be friends with you? Will you be friends with him/her? If he/she ask you for coffee, or wanna to know you better, are you going?

It does not matter whether you are in which group, humans deserved to be loved and respected. So here's what i want you to do: Save your critical comments, scoldings, telling offs in front of others.
None of us in this Earth are perfect. All humans make mistakes. Before you pass your judgments, look and think at yourself. Sure, we all have done few mistakes but that's not the point. The thing is we have been given the second chance. So therefore, treasure your life by encouraging the people around you.

Post Birthday

I hate to say this but i'm 25 this year. I guess the Chinese idiom is right,'' 岁月不留人.'' Over the the past 25 years, I've seen people come and go. People may forget or aware that today is your birthday. There may be no one to celebrate your birthday, no cake or celebration. But be encouraged. I have a Friend who has been with me since the day I was in my mother's womb. Even if there isnt any present, cake or celebration, You are more than enough.

As much as i have my goals, wishes, desires, life is not just about me. I came to realize that one shouldn't be self-centered. And why is that so? You are not alone and you will never walk alone.
In every stages in life, there is a group of people who are always looking out or taking care of you.

So be aware, that life is more than eating the best food, wearing the ootd, complaining about the bus/MRT etc.. Learn to take things as they come your way. Somewhere along this journey, i assure you that things and situations are bound to happen. But no matter what happened, happen or may happen, don't be anxious. 

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving. ~ Albert Einstein

Late Blog Post

I'm really sorry guys. The month of May is really packed and busy with few things. And sometimes there are too much things going on, words, i don't really know what or how to describe it.

In couple of week' time, it's my 25th birthday!! Honestly, i don't really know what i want. But if you must know, i guess i want to know my friends in dept or at least better more.

And how will i do it? I like to talk to friends on a one to one. I'm not referring or hoping for someone but i just wanna talk.

Where were you when i needed you the most?

I've been in this current cg for 5 years. Over the years, we have been thru much sufferings and hardships. I remembered one of your sibling was hospitalized. Some of us was there to visit and pray for healing and speedy recovery upon your sibling. Thankfully, she is on her way to recovery.

The following year was my turn. I remembered that i posted in a group chat that my sis is in hospital. And just when i thought people or at least one of you could make time and visit us. But sadly, none came.

Over the years, you called me your ''brother'', ''faithful'' etc.. I was there when you needed me to be. In prayer meetings, in cell group meetings and other big and important events, you always see me there. But
Where were you when i needed you the most?

And now i started serving another cell group as a guitarist. And guess what? You said you are disappointed with me. When you are upset with me, you can say ur piece of mind. But when i was in need, where were you?

Feel for you

I have been thinking about a few. And today, i would like i to share with you one of the things.

Remember Xiuhui? Well, i once posted here that i used to really liked her alot like 3 years ago? Well, though i really liked her before, i kept the my fondness for her deep in my heart after she started a relationship with Joseph aka Xianbi. Recently, we started whatsapping again. Here i really wanna thank God for the chance to have lunch with her again.

Something i just found out from her, or perhaps it's my lack of info, but it's true that i was the last to know that the relationship ended last year? Oh well, though i still see both at church, i didn't know. When she told me the relationship has ended, somehow i felt more for her than happy. Rightfully, i can be happy. Why? Because she is single again hence i can ask her out again. But no. Honestly, i don't feel happy. Whether she is single/attached/married, i hope i am still her friend. And as a friend, if she sad, i am sad. If she is happy, i am happy. 

Though the feelings are still in my heart, i do hope to get to know her better. And though i am of age to find a partner, i just want to know her better. 

Till the next time we meet again, be happy.

What people really need?

 Since last month, i have been going to Khatib Camp to trained for my IPPT and guess what? I met Max. And since then, we have been training together. The highlight of the meeting was not on the training but the fellowship, conversation and sharing over dinner.

Over the last few sessions, we have been sharing this:
The fact is we are in the same cell group. Max and Janice, Junyong and Jiawen are the latest addition and have been with us since 2012. Me on the other hand, have been in this cell group for 4 years.

In any organisation, company or group, it is proven & tested, that whenever an event has been organised, people or at least a handful will go. Eg: A worker has been given instructions to carry out a task. Sure he will do it because he is only a worker. And because he is paid, he have to do it. But let's say something happened to his family member, shouldn't the employer/supervisor visit the employee/worker?

It's one thing to be loyal to your company, and yet it's another thing to be caring and showing concern to your fellow members/employees.

No matter how one is or can be loyal to, he/she still need someone in times of need. Yes, he/she may be living in luxury, having all the gadgets and technologies in his/her place, but have no one to share, he is still alone. A scholar may have achieved the a number of awards, degrees, but he have or no job, how can the scholar utilize?

What people really need? The answer: People.
God is the best example.  No matter how rich or poor, smart or shabby, He still accepts us.

What? January is over?!

With a blink of an eye, January is over liao. Sadly, but life has to move on. Even right now, i am back to office to prepare some documents for the last worker who will touched down in about two hours time. I just want to say that time waits for no one. And indeed. I only have 24 hours a day. It's either i used it or waste it. And now, time is precious, it's not like i am dying or what, but is to do the right thing at the right place. It may seems impossible, but if you planned carefully and in details, the chances are you'll succeed. I have some things that i wish i could share, and i will, but not now. So stay tune, folks..

A blog post for you

You probably won't be able to see this but i still want to write. Looking back at the four months, it was indeed good and fun. I'm not sure about the rest, but i personally felt that you're a great help, a fun-going colleague and probably the one dinner buddy in office. You said you will be back, but before you go, i want to thank you for three things:

1. I thank you for being helpful.
There were so many things i couldn't finish, but because of you, things were done.

2. I thank you for being thoughtful.
In the early days, i kept forgetting about so many things.But because of your constant reminder, i can remember more.

3. I thank you for the time spent.
Though four months is not long, but at least i can know you better. The time spent together, will be remembered.

Though you are leaving, i still hate to say this: I wish you all the best in the near future. I am sorry for you leaving, but hey, give me a call when you are coming back.

Title: Eventful 2013
Looking back at 2013, I’ve witnessed many good, bad and ugly events.  Seeing people come and go, leaving and staying, heart throbbing moments are really what pretty made up this year for me. As I continue, I like to really want to thank a few people and groups that pretty made a better year for me.

Thank you for helping me when I was down. And to the leaders that God has place over me, thank you for guiding, teaching me the little things about life. Thank you Pastor Glordia, Yinghui, Terri and Shao Liang.  To the members, thank you for all the teasing, laughter, lunch, dinner.

Probably the best mission trip yet to come. I would say it’s a very fruitful trip. I thank God for Mei Man inviting me to this trip, thank you for giving me the chance to play for the team. To my ‘’fans’’, who always laugh at my jokes, thank you for laughing.  If not for your laughter, my jokes would never be funny. It’s ur laughter that makes the atmosphere so light-hearted. And to the rest, thank God you’re there with me, helping me, guiding me, teaching me.
In closing, I want to thank God for all friends that He has given to me. It wouldn't be so if without you. Life is indeed much easier, better with friends and family around you. . I do not count myself worthy, but God has shown me His grace and mercy through this year 2013. Looking back at 2011, though it's not a good year, but i want to believe that 2014 will be even better, more awesome.Whatever i didn't do it 2013, i want to see it in 2014. In 2014 i want to:
1. Use my skills, and talents to be a blessing to the people around me.
2. Get to know people better, and more.
3. Strengthen the unity and love in church.
