久石譲-風の谷のナウシカ (風の伝説)

Another good anime theme "Feng1 Zhi1 Gu3" by Joe Hisaishi. I love beginning part of the theme, it really move my spirit....

Huanjie has matured in God

Think Huanjie has grown in His commitment towards God over the past year. I remembered asking him whether he is able to take on the role of UA (Unit Administrator) recently and he agreed willingly despite his hectic teaching schedule. So far he has done an excellent job by faithfully helping out in the adminstration for the unit in events like church camp and missions conference. His Hope resource duty also took up quite some time from him but his spirit is always so sweet in his service towards people. Sometimes, he need to stay back till 5plus on Sunday to do stock checks on books and cds, this is very tiring for him but he does it without complaining. He understands that he serves the church because of God's love for him.

Another significant growth for Huanjie is accountability. He has learnt to ask for advices in many areas of his life, may it be teaching, relationship, personal life or ministry, he is faster to seek advices from me compared to last time when he just made decisions on his own. He shared to me openly about his life which allowed me to see the whole picture and give perspectives in his situation. We are able to see clearer where God is leading him through our sharing and discussion often times.

Last of all, I want to thank Huanjie for his friendship. He has been a dear friend to me and I appreciate his thoughfulness these 3 years plus that I know him. He is a sensitive brother who understands how I am feeling and tries his best to support me. Though there are times he does not know how to respond when I am feeling down/angry, I appreciate his loyalty and commitment towards me at times that I fail. Thank God for you, my brother.

This totoro theme song is composed by Joe Hisashi. When you are sad, listen to this song you will feel happier. Now sit back relax and enjoy...

Affirmation to Huanjie

Yeah.....yesterday was our dear brother HJ's birthday!!!!! Think his family has celebrated for him. How was it bro? I believe that you must have been blessed greatly by your family.

Just want to spend a few moments to affirm this wonderful brother in my life. I started to know HJ through Yueh Siang, as he was learning Malay with him at that time. At the first sight, I thought he was a very strict person. Until the time that I came to know Christ, then I started to get to know this brother better.

One of the most memorable time we spent together is we went to eat KFC in the afternoon and watched the movie together (sorry bro, I forgot the name of the movie already). At that time we started to share more deeper thing like our conversion story, our family,etc.......

Another unforgetable event was during last month we had our CG at East Coast. At that time we spent little time at the beach, we sat down and start to share how have we been throughout that week. I was amazed and inspired by his openess to me, he shared some of his struggle in his life and I truly sensed his openess and humble before God.

HJ actually is a filial son, a faithful brother, a joyful servant of God. He cares a lot about his family. He will spend every effort to bless the friends around him in any circumstances. I believe that every single one of us who know him can sense his sincerity by becoming his friend.

HJ, I want to pray for you that in this coming year, God will continue to reveal to you His plan and vision to you. Rest assured that His spiritual gift to you will be greatly utilized by you. I believe that the kingdom of God will rejoice over your works for God. Jiayou:)

Tired....Tired....Tired......

Today, another war just stopped. Finally can take a fresh breadth and write something here. Truly, everyday I come to office, I don't know what will happen to me. Need to take many responsibility, need to take note of here take note of that. Sometimes I really want to shout to the Lord, "Hey, I only got one brain and two hands, can you let me off?'

Frankly speaking, it is quite hard to give thanks to the Lord when you are taking the stress from different parties. Indeed, I really want to entertain every request or task that they give to me. However, I have my priority to take. I cannot tackle everything at the same time.

Sometimes I think that I am not capable in this line, thinking of changing the line all the while. But what can I do? After some thoughts, I think that my passion is in teaching. But I cannot handle children very well. Still I enjoy impart my knowledge to younger generation.

Just now have a tele-conversation with Eileen. She said she got lobang and asked me to join her previous company. I will have further discussion with her tonight.

Heart warming story ^^,

One day, when I was a freshman in high school,
I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school.
His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books..
I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?
He must really be a nerd."
I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.
As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him.
They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.
His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him
He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes
My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye.
As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. "
They really should get lives.
" He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!"
There was a big smile on his face.
It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived.
As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before.
He said he ha d gone to private school before now.
I would have never hung out with a private school kid before.
We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books.
He turned out to be a pretty cool kid.
I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends
He said yes.
We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him.
Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again.
I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!
" He just laughed and handed me half the books.
Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.
When we were seniors we began to think about college.
Kyle decided on Georgetown and I was going to Duke.
I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem.
He was going to be a doctor and I was going for business on a football scholarship.
Kyle was valedictorian of our class.
I teased him all the time about being a nerd.
He had to prepare a speech for graduation.
I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak
Graduation day, I saw Kyle.
He looked great.
He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school.
He filled out and actually looked good in glasses.
He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him.
Boy, sometimes I was jealous!
Today was one of those days.
I could see that he was nervous about his speech.
So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!"
He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled.
" Thanks," he said.
As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began
"Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years.
Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends...
I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them.
I am going to tell you a story."
I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met.
He had planned to kill himself over the weekend.
He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home.
He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile.
"Thankfully, I was saved.
My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."
I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment.
I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile.
Not until that moment did I realize it's depth.
Never underestimate the power of your actions.
With one small gesture you can change a person's life.
For better or for worse.
God puts us all in each others lives to impact one another in some way.
Look for God in others.


~"Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."
There is no beginning or end.. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift.~

Hey Brother,
dun be discouraged or stressed out.. hope this verse encourages you..

Psalm 27:5-7 (NIV)

5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.

6 Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me;
at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.

7 Hear my voice when I call, O LORD; be merciful to me and answer me.

you are very courageous and honest to tell your boss the situation.. if i were you.. i might have continued to struggle and in the end produce lousy results..
Have faith in God that He will carry you through this :)

Share with you my situation.. hehe..
Just now before lunch, my senior told me again (note: again) that he did not see much effort put in my work.. but I tot i have placed more importance and effort in my work already. Guess i cannot meet his standard. I haven on the TV since i enter my hotel room, all because I dun wan to TV to distract me and affect my work. and i was on schedule for all the submissions.. But yet... he says I dun seem to be putting effort in my work. sigh.. I was a bit disappointed and spitefully said that he can say whatever he wants to say. i bet the evaluation is going to be very poor. But its okay la.. God knows the level of effort i have put in..

A decision.......

I just emailed to my boss to request for withdrawal of 2 projects in my hands. As I could not handle 3 projects + 1 upcoming one in my hand. 3 projects they need my strong commitment. I need to spend more time in them but I cannot cope them because the things are too much for me to handle.

My architect expressed her dissatisfaction to me, my senior complain that how come I never pay attention to his projects, contractor from different side chase me for this and chase me for that, I feel tore apart by them.

Jesus, help me to see your purpose in this situation, I pray that my decision to ask for withdrawal of some projects is correct in your eyes. Lord, give me strength to tackle different challenges and people around me, let me see that they also need you very much. Thank you Lord, Amen!!!

My friend Jason's matrimony

Last Saturday I joined my NTU friend Jason's Holy Matrimony in City Harvest Church at Jurong West. Jason is one of my best friend in NTU times. We actually suffer as a study group and I actually know him through one of the cell group of CHC in NTU. That was the first time I started to know about church.

He is the first person, together with Yueh Siang, planted the seed in my heart when I was a pre-believer. At that time, I just mentioned to Yueh Siang that I hoped to know what Bible is about, 2 weeks later I received a NLT bible from both Yueh Siang and Jason. That bible I have kept until now.

As a friend (now cum brother-in-Christ), he actually demonstrate to me how he secured in his identity in God. Actually he does not have any interest in his major and sometimes he failed the subject terribily, but he did not give up himself and continue to explore himself in other area, such as music ( he is the guitarist in CHC). At the same time we also strive together to pass the exam.

Now Jason has his own buisiness in IT industry and I am glad that he has settled down by starting a family. I wish him all the best in his career continue to glorify God's name with his talents.

Below is the photos we took in his matrimony:

Pic 1: After attacking the food, we took a photograph together with the "results" that we have:P

Start from left, Rachel, Cheng Mei , my NTU civil school mate(If I do not spell wrongly), Yueh Siang and myself.

Pic 2: Together with the bride and bridegroom: Start from left, me, Yueh Siang, Rachel, Cheng Mei and her husband Tommy, Jason and his wife Angeline (whose Jason call her "Larling").

A tiring week

This week has been a tiring week for me. Indeed I attended more than 5 meetings this week. It caused me do not have time to do my work.

Actually it was quite challenging to meet different people requirements. I do not know a lot of things but I still need to handle them. My client, contractors, even my supervisor expect me to know everything. I understand that because I am on board already, so it shall be no excuse to me to really say "don't know" as it does not reflect my company's image well.

Thank God that He sustained me through, He helps me to see the thing in more positive manner. He gave me the opportunity to learn the new things and let me see different kind of people.

I think this is the first time I faced such a great challenge and I pray that God will strengthen my heart and give me peace so that I will not be a burden to my supervisor and my boss but a good helper to them.

District Mission Night

Hi! Just a reminder that the district missions night is on this Friday (18/5) 730pm in nexus.

Combined CG this Fri

Dear all,

We will be having combined caregroup 730pm this friday with Nic's cg at ministry house.

Recently, I saw an interesting scroll in a shop and bought it. I have typed parts of the content of the scroll below, thought it may be helpful to some of us at work. God bless! =)

Christian ways to reduce stress

1) Pray
2) Go to bed on time.
3) Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4) Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.
5) Delegate tasks to capable others.
6) Simplify and unclutter your life.
7) Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
8) Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.
9) Take one day at a time.
10) Separate worries from concerns. If a situation is a concern, find out
what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety. If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.
11) Live within your budget;don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
12) Do something for the Kid in you everyday.
13) Get enough rest.
14) Eat right.
15) Get organized so everything has its place.
16) Write down thoughts and inspirations
17) Everyday, find time to be alone.
18) Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray.
19) Make friends with Godly people.
20) Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good "Thank you Jesus."
21) Laugh
22) Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
23) Develop a forgiving attitude. (Most people are doing the best they can)
24) Be kind to unkind people (They probably need it the most)
25) Sit on your ego.
26) Talk less; listen more.
27) Slow down.
28) Do something you like everyday.
29) Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
30) Every night before bed, think of one thing you are grateful for that you’ve never been grateful for before.

In a fix

This thing happened yesterday. Faced a difficult situation.

One of my colleague, A left work early ard 3plus. He informed us but not boss. Around 5pm,boss called looking for him. My senior then contacted A to let him know boss looked for him and asked him to return call.Not forgetting to explain why he was out of office. A asked senior to explain that he was sick and hence left early to see doc. Meanwhile A said he will sms boss too.

A few of us were around. Senior decided i am the best person to inform boss of this "lie". Why me?

1)Senior was avoiding boss as well. In fact, everyone dreads meeting boss. Senior was so stressed yest that he hung up his phone the whole day to avoid calls from boss. And i found out later, he even skipped lunch to do his work. alas.

2)Precisely bcos i can't lie and i would not want to, hence i am the best person to say and won't be doubted.

3) Some strange idea that i am boss's pet which i am not lah.

I knew it was wrong to lie and A was wrong not to inform boss that's he leaving early. Yet we could understand why. Is a long story but essentially boss and A are prejudiced against each other. If boss found out, he has more grounds to pick on A.

Honestly, i see reasons in covering for A though i know is lying. Just felt dui4 bu4 qi3 God. I was in a fix . I prayed in the lift. I knew more or less i would cover up.Asked God to help me and forgive me.

Thankfully, boss had someone with him in the office, so i quickly went into the office to let him sign my stuff and left quickly. I didn't want any chance of him asking me and i decided not to say anything also."Relieved".

Went back to office and my colleagues asked if i said anything. I said no chance. Thank God!! cos it turned out that A smsed boss that he left at 3plus. Senior called me to inform me so that i can sing the same tune. But guess what, i left my hp in the office. So if i were to lie, the timing would be different and boss would know i lie. Phew!! God saves !

End of story? i wish.

Soon after, boss called me. Went to see him and the first thing he asked, where's A?
Obviously he knew but i guess he wanna test me. Ok, i have to sing the same tune then.

Me: Eh, A smsed u rite..
Boss: yes, but only after i looked for him. why didn't he inform earlier? did he inform u all where he is gg?
Me : Yes.
Boss: so where?
Me: doc. he said not well.
pause...
Boss: where's senior? can't get him the whole day.
me: oh..he got statement ( this was not rehearsed but i had to cover..can't say he purposely avoiding your calls rite..)

I have to admit that there is certain differential treatment among us. I forsee more of such things happening.

I know is wrong to lie but it seemed that covering up for one another is like the best way at this current state of condition. Team morale is low. I see passive agression towards boss.

Nowadays, teammates come to me asking if i will see boss, pass me this ,pass me that..I also dread seeing boss and there is so much i can do as well.

There ought to be a better way in handling all these isnt it? teach me how God. Ppl are leaving and i wonder why can't boss see anything ."exasperated"

Teahouse this Sunday?

Guess we will stick with Spiderman 3 on 16 May (Wed) , Joel asked whether we want to join their cg at teahouse at tanjong pagar this Sunday afternoon. We can invite our friends to see whether they are interested.

Shortest meeting in sports school

We had our weekly thursday morning meeting at 8am today and it is a record breaking short meeting cos only a few short announcements. We ended the meeting at 810am. I like sports school meetings cos they never exceed 1 hr when the principal holds the meeting. I was able to have some free time to set the mid year exam paper in the morning. It is amazing that all of us submitted the final draft only today, and tomorrow is the exam. Thank God for efficiency.

This morning..........

3/5/2007, 615am, weather: good ( I think so, outside so dark, very hard to see....)

When I get up from bed, I took a deep breath, then I start to settle down my heart. When I am praying to God and enjoy His presence for a short moment, my heart sense peace from Him. I start to thank God that He let me wake up every morning and let me breath the fresh air. He also let me taste the life with different kind of people. Sometimes it is tough, I still thank Him that he let me do lives with those people around me.

Today the whole morning I will be having meeting with PUB. Pray that the meeting will be run smoothly. Pray that I will have wisdom from God to priotize my time to the things that I need to do first.

Thank God for His presence everyday. I enjoy do life with Jesus as well.

Dear bro,

It's been a great blessing to have you in our midst and known you in my life! Like what PR has shared, your conversion and zealousness in your new found faith has been such as encouragement to all of us back then in NTU. hee. Well, you still are :)

3 areas that you strike me which I can learn from you as well:

1) Your openess and vulnerability

You never fail to be open about your life and real with your thoughts and feelings. Is not easy I feel. Be it small things or big ones, you always readily share with us and sometimes i wonder, without u, the cg would be rather distant =p keke..Guys are usually less open but you prove otherwise. Even this trait is my weakness. heh.

I remembered there were couple of cgs where you shared your difficulties in work and personal struggles. There was once you really broke down. i was stunned yet touched. Through it all, i am glad you preserved to see how God is moulding you and i had a deeper understanding of you too :)


2) Faithfulness & initative
Be it weekly smses for prayer requests, ministries or morning calls for me ( hee thanks bro!), you display initative and faithfulness. You are also a very faithful friend. Often, you will find time to visit your old friends back in hometown. Last year Kluang trip was very enjoyable bcos of your hopsitality and friends! Chuanbiao, Zhengkang,Yuxin and Serwei must have been blessed by your friendship and hence they were readily to host us :)

3) Love God and people
A bro who enjoys reading the word of God,
A bro who seeks greatly to bring his lost friends come to know God,
A bro who enjoys spending time with people and getting to know them deeper,
A bro who is undergoing trying circumstances but want to keep his eyes on God.
A bro who desires to do great things for God.

Thanks for showing care and concern about my life every now and then. Thanks for checking on me almost everyday when i had my wisdom tooth surgery.
Thanks for lending me books when I have run out of them. hee. I enjoyed those reading club sessions.
Thanks for sharing your heart and thoughts with us.
Thanks for ever serving so readily.
You are appreciated much :)

I prayed that you will continue to let God mould you and be the center of your life. Don’t undermine your experiences for some of them are just undergoing pruning so that they can blossom!

Look forward to growing together in Christ-likeness!

Enjoy these pics filled with much love from us =p
