Have You Taken Your Love Break Today?

These few days i been really cranky, i dunno if its the nt enuff zzz, or if its the disappointment i see in ppl, or watever... bottom line was i was feeling lousy. It came on and of, and on and off... when u think u got over 1 hurdle, another came... its jus wearing me out.

God always comes in timely and has the most soothing words, and this time is no difference. ^_^ Its been some time since i read the daily devotions i subscription from my church's webby,
and one came at the rite time with the right words.

Here's some extracts that i like to share with u:

In the workplace, it is common to take coffee breaks, lunch breaks, tea breaks and especially toilet breaks. Why not do the same in your spiritual life — take time out for love breaks?

What is a love break? It is the time you take to enjoy and feed on the love of Jesus for you. At any time during the day, wherever you are, find a quiet spot and feed on the love of Jesus. Just sit down and talk to Him. Say to Him, “Thank You, Jesus, for loving me. Nothing is going to happen to me that You don’t already know. Jesus, when I could not save myself, You died for me. You gave up Your life for me. What else will You not do for me!”

During the day, when you are hard at work, when busyness sets in, when problems pile up or when discouragement comes, just stop everything and take a love break with Jesus! Let Jesus love you. Let yourself enjoy being loved by Him. Lean on His bosom, abide in His love and be nourished by His love for you!

More Breakfast Bears!

The Try Anything Type

You're an exciting and excitable type who truly believes that variety is the spice of life. Routine is not your cup of tea. You savour adventure and relish the impromptu.
Nothing thrills you more than a buffet of choices, be they recreational, professional or gastronomical. You love to wander down an avenue of street fare and sample whatever entices you. If dessert comes before appetizers, no problem!
Would you try choc-coated witchety grubs? In a heartbeat!The opposite sex often finds your devil-may-care approach truly delicious. You'll try anything once, whether it's the fieriest salsa or salsa dancing. At the smorgasbord of life, you tend to gravitate towards the heady delights of the unknown.

The Passover

This whole travelling thing has definitely shown me a lot of things. Seeing new things, meeting ppl, exposed to different environment and stuffs are wat u get. One of the best is to make acquaintance with different ppl, for ppl like us, the main races we know are the Chinese, Malays, Indians and Eurasians... But recently, i have the chance to meet ppl of a different race, from our everyday lives. And they are the Jews, they are the much read abt ppl in the bible, but i have nv made any acquaintance b4.

An opportunity came up for me to befriended ppl of the Jewish blood. And these nice ppl actually invited my fren and i to their Passover celebration.

* Time out - Passover is a memorial event of God delivering the Israelis from slavery in Egypt; Signs and wonders were performed in that time, by Moses, to the Pharaoh, in persuasion to release the Israelis. The last of the signs was the death of all first born in the land of Egypt, and God told his ppl to kill a lamb, and paint their doorposts with its blood. And the spirit of death will Passover the households with blood to other homes.*

To commemorate this release from slavery and the Passover of the spirit of death, the Jews have certain observance and practices that will last abt a week. Before the first day of Passover, all Jewish households have to get ride of all products made with yeast. So it means they will have to get rid of all their bread in the hse, unless its the unleavened bread.

On the first day of Passover, they will have a family dinner where a long table will be set for ALL family members to sit and dine together. Its something like the Chinese reunion dinner, its very elaborated & definitely a WOW factor for me when i stepped into their dinning area.

They also have a booklet, a guide on how the Passover is to be carried out. The nice ppl gave me one to bring back for memorial, and like a curious kitten, i took it and was quite fascinated by it. Everything in it, the instructions were precise and specific. The Jews are definitely detailed ppl, with much self discipline.

I dun think i be going into the details of the dinner, but i can tell u that the whole dinner, in its fast forward pace took 4 hrs to complete. It was a 3 course dinner; 1st course was mainly the fish dish, there was the fish cooked in 2 different ways. 2nd course was the meat dish, which were the chicken & ox tongue thingy. 3rd and last course was the dessert, which had lotsa of cakes & cookies, ice cream and pudding. Other than these dishes, there were the tapas and mini diff salads... and of cos not forgetting all the wine...

Believe me, it was a jaw dropping view… we were definitely stunned!

Eat bears for breakfast!~

Wanna eat a bear?!!!

With this!!!

U can eat bears for breakfast!

Ermm... frying skills not good...

Tmw i will try make pancake bears and see how it goes...

(Ps. Moral of story is... when one is too bored... anything haps!)

Ask my god?

Tdy my fren post a good question to me,
he ask me why i never ask my god abt BGR,
Why i nv ask him abt me bf...

I also dunno leh...
actually i also dunno how to answer him.
Why huh?

But then... why ask???

Ok, last time got ask b4 lah,
end up the answer no good...

okok... its like tat de...

Tat time got tis bf,
then first thing i do is ask God ,
then God say he no good,
shldnt be with him.

Then the usual happen lor,
cry and cry and cry...
end up nv leave him.
And true enuff, he was a jerk...
And I only discovered his fox tail in Dec 2005.

Hmm... asking God abt these stuffs are quite scary,
cos wat if its another bad apple...
(kekeke nt saying u, the male apple or u the female apple...)
okok... bad choice...
and u happen to like tat bad choice...
HOW?

oki... side track le...

Anyway, u have my answer now.

Quiet days have began

Hmm... since everyone depart / depost for Sg,
its has been pretty quiet... v quiet...

Though i dun really hit off well with the rest of the gang,
but then its still alittle demoralizing to see no one is ard,
no one else but us 2 staying put.

Feels like being abandon, no mood to work.

Thank God for my mentor,
really nice guy wor......
Everyone morning, if he dun see my smile,
he will ask me wats wrong,
or will ask, "where's my smile? Smile pls?"
Cool guy, cool mentor!

Oh man... hope i go hm soon...
I miss wanton mee,
I miss my mummy... dun she dun seems to miss me...
(all becos of sg drama lah... take away her attention from me... grrr...)

aiya... think got nothing to complain...
see!!! even now got nothing to complain abt...
argh!!! nothing to say, no comments,
NOT EVEN COMPLAIN?!!!
Eeks! no wonder i am bored....

Time to go play neopets again...
bye.

Why the change?

I was watching the clip enew abt S.H.E
coming back from India with WorldVision;
someone has kindly pointed out to me
that it was an initiative from Hebe,
who is one of the trio,
that the had approached WorldVision for such "collaboration".

And at the end of this clip,
there was a short promo-like advert which caught my attention,
and now i use that phrase as my blog title.

I jus wan something more substantial now,
no more jus passing time and spewing nonsense everywhere i go.
Its time i guard my tongue, that it shld build ppl and not break ppl.

I guess the one comment i want to make here
is that after seeing the clip,
everyone would be touched
and then make some donations to WorldVision or some other organizations,
or even some would be extreme to want to go out to the field and help them.

But i think we shld start somewhere nearer to home;
there are lonely and abandoned elderly,
there are orphanages,
there are sick children in the hospital that need cheering up,
there are many you can do right where u are.

For me, i am constantly reminded of the poor and homeless here.
To be frank, my heart doesnt break when i see them,
but rather i am amazed to see such scenes.
And the first that runs thru my head is... WHY?
How did they become like tat?
Why like tat?!!
I dun understand and i dunno if i ever will.

But i guess it doesnt matter if i understand or not,
i'll jus do wat i feel compel to do.
As simple as that,
no need to think too much.

Irish Pubbu

It was the long await soccer match between England and the Israel team,
most of the fellows in the grp are soccer fans,
and they were excited abt going to see the match at a local pub.
And this pub came highly recommended...

SHOPPING DAY!!!

I havent been shopping for a long time,
since i came back from CNY bah...
I dun have the habit of shopping,
but i am really too bored,
so i decided to drive out to the city,
with the joureny time of 40mins,
in hope of seeing interesting things in the city,
rather than the quiet & sleepy town i am in.

First, we had to aid our starving tummies,
its really good to see jap food that doesnt make me puke,
this was still swallow-able...
No green tea, then make do with nest tea... ^_^
Hmm... let me how much tis cost...
Its abt SGD$17.50.... faint rite?!!

Then this fellow's BK Meal is abt SGD$16.50,
eeks lor! his meal is SO MUCH BIGGER than mine pathetic sushi...
Nvm, mine got raw tuna... got quality... so not too bad rite? rite?? RITE???

After satifying the tummies, we started out on the "i go my way, u go yr bridge" tactic, i decided to browse floor by floor, cos i also dunno how many stories are there... And i started out with the gnd level... And i saw this interesting corner... Its really v retro and attracted me... as i walked further in, it was a lifestyle accessories shop, it has an impressive name as well... Its called [ENTER].


Well, i only manage to cover 4/5 of the entire gnd level, i din have the chance to go up to 2nd storey lor... Then then then everywhere started to close le lor... Nvm... i also quite tired le, so i decided to go to my fav place to drink some kopi & grab a bite, the sushi really not enuff to satisfy my tummy for long lah.

i really love the wharf/port place, its my fav... no matter is last yr or tis yr, its still my fav. its quiet and calm and it has a wonderful view of the sea... The sea that looks out to the med. sea, it looks like there's no end to it... just like boundless possiblities. Every weekend, its packed with families and their kids... its a great place to be with your loved ones. *wink*

Updates

These days has been rather enjoyable for me,

jus last 2 weeks, life has been pretty disciplined for me.

And i was amazed.

Though it only lasted 2 weeks before everything was disrupted by a certain taiwanese drama, but i am glad to say that i hoping to resume the original plans by tmw.

Strangely, i am trying to pick up the guitar for the care grp here,

cos we take turns to lead P&W here.
I'm nt really that keen to learn it,

but its really a good tool for P&W,

so i'm hoping to pick it up.

Then encouragement came when recently God showed me a glimpse of hope,

in frens whom i had prayed for to come to know Christ.

And it came in an unexpected way,

which i did find a little tensed with.

All i know things are definitely going to be happening soon for me,

no idea's wat... but its pretty exciting!

Then another unexpected thing is...

i actually "participated" in an outreach event by the church here,

this is something which i havent found the courage to do,

especially since the LB days.

Evangelism left a deep mark on me,

but the LB days also left deep impressions.

So, actually i been avoid these activites

though i keep mentioning them on my lips.

i really dunno wat to expect that is to come,

but i'm pretty sure and hope that it will not end up like a dream;

soon to be forgotten over time.

Here's some pics i took of tdy:

Information Counter not Conviction Center

Just had a chat with a fren on msn,
Both of us were lamenting on how life is so mundane, routine…
It is really a price we pay for stability and peaceful life?

Is the world too down to believe in hope,
Why does ppl tag hope as a cheat???
Having hope is jus a motion,
The object of the hope is then the key!

Having hope that the sun will rise again every morning,
Is that a lie?
Having hope that yr bank acc will have sudden deposits of a million dollars,
Its absurd, but it’s a hope…
There’s no right or wrong in having hope,
Just having hope in the right thing or not.
(But frankly speaking, having hope in one day $ would be deposited in yr bank acc
Is really not that a good choice…)

I’m not preaching to you, or trying to convince you wat I believe,
But I’m merely tell you, sharing with you wat I believe and think.
I may not be right but I am sure of one thing,
And that’s my hope of life.

My hope of life is that there is a God who came down to earth to die for mankind.
He came when we did not know him, but becos he made us, and loved us,
He came willingly to come in the form of a human, and died to pay for ALL our sins.
Why pay sins? Cos sin is like a debt, and the penalty for this debt is death, separation from God.
By paying this debt, which can only be paid by blood of a perfect man.

With this debt paid, we can go to God…
We can go to him as his children and have all the good things he has in according to his riches.
(Wanna know wat are the riches? Go read bible bah… it gives more detail explanations than I can give.)

Yes, like all things there is a catch, and this catch is…

You have to accept this gift of payment;
When ppl give u stuffs, good or bad, valuable or not,
Its still not yours until u ACCEPT that gift.
It doesn’t cost anything for u to accept this gift,
All it takes is for you to believe in your heart and tell God.

You can use this prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank you for loving me and dying for me on the cross.
Your precious blood washes me clean of every sin.
You are my Lord, my Saviour and my God, now and forever.
I believe that You rose from the dead and that You are alive today.
God, I believe that you are my Father and I am you child because of Jesus Christ.
Thank you for filling my heart with your peace and joy.
In Jesus’s name,
Amen.

Like I said before, I am not here to convince you,
I am here merely sharing with you and providing information.
This is the information counter,Not convictions counter oki.

And that is CELERY!!!

WOW WOW WOW LOR!!!

The smell of the celery is so fresh,

on my lap last nite @ my cell grp here,
it was a whole 1-2 hrs,
1-1, me to jia-en time ok...

cos the whole time i was super occupied with little Jia-En...

SHE IS SO CUTE LOR!!!

Everyone was amazed @ how quiet she was,
throughout the sharing session,
i was also amazed lor...

But she is really v cute and v sweet!!!

Hmm.... too bad she dun react well when she sighted the camera that chris was holding,

Oki... the plan is on...
i gotta take a pic with her before she goes back to Sg,
awwwww.... i think i going to miss her....
*sniff sniff*

But then hor... there is still one thing i cannot get use to it lor...
Her parents keep telling her,
:" say byebye to Aunty June", or "fly kiss to Aunty June" etc...
EEKS!!!!

WAT AUNTY JUNE?!?!?!?!?!?!
when i tok to her i still refer myself as jiejie lor...
and she react well lor...
i din mean to train her to call me jiejie lah,

but then it was even more natural for other ppl to refer me as "Aunty June" to her...

ARGHHH!!!
Not that i mind ... but then.... but then... but....
ok ok .... I think i mind...

Nvm, i jus hope little jia-en wont get confused,
with all this not-so-impt way of addressing me.
Of cos i still hope to hear jia-en call me jiejie,
when she sees me rather than AUNTY JUNE!
EEKS!!!

用华文感谢主有点不习惯。。。kekekeke

今天有点小懒惰；
因为昨天有点“伤”到了，
所以今天我们就没有那么严格了。

感谢主，他教我如何的项目标前进。
但我对自己完全没有信心，
还有点小担心会放弃。

但主真的是太好了，
他对我说只要对他有信心就好了。
我对我的主很有信心！
我相信他会伴我，帮我，
更有信心他不会让我放弃！

It has began...

We came hm & left to jog in 15mins,
Yup... We really went;

Its jus tat after 5 mins I couldn't take it any more n did brisk walking.
I guess I really haf 2 thank God for me hsemate,
if nt for him I would haf given up half the jog route.

Its really v tough to start 2 jog when u hate it
and when u haf nt exercise in QUITE a long while.
When we gt back,
I was too lazy to cook,
so I jus dump everything into the soup.
But then after awhile,
it seemed pathetic...

So I made tis,

suppose to haf 4,
but 2 hungry le,
it was gobbled down in no time.

So here's my report to u on the start of this test of perseverance.
Hope tis encourages u,
U 加油 too k!
*off 2 zzz.... V tired*

15th Day of CNY... The last day of celebration

Thank God that its a brand new day,
Thank God that each day is a new day!
I guess that are many things that contributed to make today a
WONDERFUL DAY!

First is God who came thru for me,
i mean there's a breakthrough for me.
I've been in a state of confusion of wat i wanna do;
I came here looking for something,
and getting that something,
but the one prob is...

I DUNNO WAT that something is.

As i had a breakfast talk with an associate,
the picture i had in me is still as clear as it is.
I'm no long like a drug addict in addiction,
constantly not knowing what is going on ard me.

The second thing was that i had fun today.
Coming here for so long,
this place is nothing but a boring retirement location.
But we found fun tdy,
we went BOWLING!!!
(Btw, I'm L).

Nice man who taught us how to bowl.

AND I WON!

I WON AGAIN!!

YES!!! I WON ALL 3 ROUNDS!!!

Then hor, this clubhse got alot things to play lor... The next thing we played was the basketball machine!!! But then we tied! So no pics to show... no winner, no picture lor...

The next challenge was the HOCKEY TABLE, which i sucked at it BIG TIME!

Its a 6:1 game... I got thrashed :*(

After all that exercise, very hungry u know... SO! Since its PURIM! We went to feast!!! SPAGATTIMS!

HIS! (He say taste so-so only)

MINE! (But I think not nice leh)

Just when i tot that its the end of our PURIM 2007,
another surprise awaits for me when i came online.

I been quite concern with you, and how you are coping.
And i felt bad rushing abt in Sg,
and yet not have time with you. It was all abt me,
how little time i had, and me tired, and sad,
and blah blah blah.

But THANK GOD for his faithfulness!
That u are walking out of your frame,
and into the light.

QW & I are your cheerleading team,
waving our invisible pom poms to cheer u on.
Though i know that even if i were with you physcially,
there is nothing i can do for you.
But i tot that the least i could offer u
was companionship for the moment.

Now being so far away,
God showed me that the only thing
and the best thing i can do for you is to pray.
And He also showed me that prayers
are far more powerful than me physically there.
Its of great comfort & encouragement to me.

So, 加油吧！
I believe many of your frens
and myself got you covered in prayers. ^_^
