Scenario: A sister of a brother was admitted to a hospital due to a minor leg infection. Family members came and visit her with tonics, fruits and delicious food. All came and go, but only one stayed a little later den the rest.
Here's the thing: Gifts don't always represent people. Does a bouquet of flowers says,'I'm sorry,'' to the girl when the boy miss the date? Does a resignation letter from a employee solves/fills the vacant seat after he/she leaves the company? As we know, the answer is No. It's the people who makes the difference, fills in the gap. No amount of gifts can fill the gap that each of us the gap. Therefore can i say a few statements:
1. To the single: If you're looking for a partner, wait patiently for the man/woman. Ultimately, your character will draw and attracts attention. I know sometimes, the waiting is long and boring, and it doesn't seems to be coming, but just hang on.
2. To the eager, anxious, heavy-heart: Take time to calm down. Sit down, breathe and think. Not everyone can calm you down, but only you can calm yourself down and think about the next step.
3. Employees: who have been working in a company for years and doesn't seems to have the job promotion, the increment in salary: Remember why are you here working. Is it for fun? No. Go and find the very reason, the passion you once had. And work towards the goals, the vision which once you had. Giving up now will lengthen the distance to your very dreams, goals you have been working for. So, don't give up. Taking a rest, or a break doesn't mean you are giving up. It's means that you have been working hard and for you to continue once your ''battery'' is fully charged.
So, whether is it one person or people, both make a difference.

Too busy for people that matter
Continue from the previous post.
Thru this three days, i was busy, yet doing all by myself. I heard my heart cried out,'' where are my friends?'' I felt so helpless especially yesterday. I left office while it was still raining. While i was walking in the rain, i left so tired and i don't feel like doing anything. I just wanna go home and tug into my bed.
What are friends? Friends are just title whom we give.What's the difference between close friends and friend? Their presence. I am not saying you worship them, but should they not be with you physically, you know in your heart that they are still with you. Often we felt lonely, not because of the physical, but usually it's the emotional. Eg: Two person can be in walking along the busy streets of Orchard road. One was walking alone and the other was with another friend. After a while, the one who walking alone came and sit down and didn't continue. The other with one friend continue talking, walking.

A call from Helplessness
Two days ago, on Wednesday 09 October 2013. i received a call from my Mom saying that my sis was admitted to the hospital. And i was pretty shocked upon hearing that. I asked about what happened, and what was revealed to me was this. On the surface of the minor leg injury, doctor found a black thingy. The doctor couldn't determined what was it, hence a blood test and X-RAY was done on my sis, yesterday.
My mom and i was pretty disappointed with no one, except my dad. On the night where my sis was admitted, he go nowhere but stayed at home and read his horse book. My thought: Can reading the book on your hand gets your one and only daughter any better? We visited my sis yesterday evening. But this time, my dad came too. But where was he found? He was sitting at the lounge room there. I was told that he came into the ward and left with one look. No question was asked etc.. My thought: Though you're here, yet you're not with us. So where and what's the purpose of you coming?
I watched a movie with Canney, Kendrick, Julian and his girlfriend, Sheng De aka SD card and Austin. We had supper and except for me, they all drank beer. They drank quite a few bottles and the Canney was the one i worried for, after all, it's her first time drinking with us. And so, i woke up pretty early the nxt day to see Canney if she had hangover. When i reached her place, she was up and doing her make up. I was waiting for her outside her place, when she passed the office keys to Zi Ting, her room mate to me. I left, feeling that it was a wasted trip. I came, only to have breakfast with her, and yet she sent me away with a bunch of keys. My thought: Why should i bother about her, whether she got hangover or sober? Can you show a little respect to those who care for you? You don't just sent people away. But here's the thing: Where is the thank you? You should say thank you, not because i deserve it, but because you're well-mannered. Well, she didn't say it even after i spoke to her. And she seems to be fine about it. Well, it shows that she can't and won't be bothered by it. And it was since then, the distance and line was drawn. I woke up today and was told not to buy breakkie for her as Julian was buying for her. While i was otw to office, we were on the same bus. But we didn't say hi. I was pretty sure she saw me, yet she didn't came.

3 area you got to be ready for any relationship in life
Few weeks ago, i was invited and went to Shane and Avis's wedding. And one of my friends, Jefri was with us too. While we were still chatting with other friends, he came and ask me a question. 'What do you need to do to be ready for a relationship?' Instantly, i remembered what my close friend, Jiayong also known as Joseph. 3 area you got to be ready for any relationship in life:
1. BE FINANCIALLY STABLE.
I am not asking you to be a filthy rich, or to be as poor as a church mouse. Imagine, you're already going out and dating the girl you like for quite a while, don't you feel bad having her to pay the dinner, the movies etc? And let's say, you guys have been together for the past 2-3 years and are having plans to get married. Do you have the finances to buy a simple flat, to have your dream wedding, go to your sweetest honeymoon, buy the most beautiful ring? It takes two hands to clap, and that's the fact and truth.
2. BE EMOTIONALLY SOUND.
Know what and be aware of what you are doing. That includes the proposal, the asking of she to be your girlfriend. But what if she comes to you with issues, problems that she can't handle? Do you have what it takes to advice her, encourage her or even help her in times of need. Can you hear her out? If she's crying her heart out, can you be patient while she cry out?
3. BE PHYSICALLY FIT.
Like me, i am not asking you to be a super macho, strong build man. But there got to be a bare minimum. For me, i am not prone to sickness, i also mean minor illness like, flu, cough and fever. As a guy or man, we are to be much healthier and stronger than any woman or girl. And since girls are weak, as a man, it's your responsibility to take care and look after her. It's a sad thing that out of the 3 years relationship, either one of you are often down and sick. So both of you gotta be strong or at least healthy.

Yet another heart-throbbing song: Scandal Of Grace
Just posted a song, which saw me weeping. Even as i am blogging now, am so touched on Saturday, by this song. Pastor Kong announced, also that we will have another Arise and Build 2013/14. And here's my heart thought: I am giving my dream of getting a new guitar into the hands of God. In this Arise and Build, i am POURING OUT MY LIVES TO JESUS.
Today, it's also my colleague-cum-mentor, Lawrence last day here in JRP Manpower. I was told by him that his last day would be on the end of OCT, but he has decided to bring it forward. And i was pretty much affected though i am almost 70% done learning. But since he has decided to leave, i respect him and hereby wishes him the very best in the near future.I just wanna say thank you for teaching me, helping me thru this 2 weeks. I am at 70%, it's all your hard work and giving. Lawrence, Thank you..

Scandal of Grace - Teo Poh Heng @ City Harvest Church
Grace, what have you done?
Murdered for me on that cross
Accused in absence of wrong
My sin washed away in your blood
Too much to make sense of it all
I know that your love breaks my fall
The scandal of grace, you died in my place
So my soul will live
Chorus:
Oh to be like you
Give all I have just to know you
Jesus, there's no one besides you
Forever the hope in my heart
Death, where is your sting?
Your power is as dead as my sin
The cross has taught me to live
In mercy, my heart now to sing
The day and it's trouble shall come
I know that your strength is enough
The scandal of grace, you died in my place
So my soul will live
And it's all because of you, Jesus
It's all because of you, Jesus
It's all because of your love
And my soul will live

Goodbye past, Hello future
After leaving Asia Mannequin, i found and gave myself a month's long of break. And if you ask me what i did on the month's long leave, it's practically nothing but my likes and really much discovery, studies. And because i have so much time on hand, i saw myself doing the things i have always wanted to do. Like waking up late, turning in late etc. And the feeling is just awesome. Thru that one month, i kind of found myself back. And while i was enjoying, work never came into my mind though my parents was kinda worried about my future plans. Life seems pretty smooth sailing till things happen.
1. My ex-boss dad passed on. Am sorry for his loss and i hope his family will be fine and stronger.
2. 2nd tranche of the trial. In this tranche, we saw many, but also seen how God was moving in the midst of the whole thing. And thru this, the church was strengthened in faith.
And while i was still enjoying life, till Peggy Ang came and intro this new job to me. I am now a Project Officer in JRP Manpower Consultancy Pte Ltd. Today is my 8th day here and am about 60% on my job scope. A pretty nice job environment with good colleagues and specific, yet straightforward bosses. Just these two weeks, i learnt pretty much things. Am pretty enjoying my time here, and looking forward to the near future.
