My Updates...
News Alert! - I have been excused from my reservist training. But the situation leading up to such an arrangement is nothing short of being controversial. I admit that I was too rash and made a bad decision.
Seems that I can't do anything right these days. Been rather troubled by my responses to things around me.
1. Realised that I cannot cope with the onslaught of things at work. The schedule is tremendous. SOO revealed a lot of my incapability to multi-task and helped me appreciate the strengths of others much better.
2. I realise my greed in wanting to do everything well. So much that I expect a lot more from myself and in the process, disappoint myself when I fail to do things well. Perhaps I need to learn to focus more on what I do best first.
3. The reservist experience has been cut short by my careless assessment of the situation. I think that I have been too accustomed to comfort and as a result, dread going back to camp to do all that I used to do. I don't know what came over me but I am shocked by my own insistence to exercise my "right" not to go outfield because of my assumed PES status requirement. Looking back, there is nothing but regret and guilt that I have presented a very bad image as a child of God. The numerous pairs of eyes that witnessed my nonsense must have been very shocked.
4. My ability to relate to the general group is really far from ideal. Being a higher ranked officer made me more alienated than ever. Throughout this incident, I realised how immature I have been in handling the responsibilities presented to me. I also found it hard to engage myself with the general group of people. I can't hold up a decent conversation and the general spirit I present is one of tiredness and negativity. There is nothing postive from me at all. It was a grave mistake to go to camp without preparing myself mentally and physically. As I left the camp this morning, I felt so small, so insignificant because I have contributed nothing to this team even though I was to have played a very important role if I stayed on.
Its an uphill task ahead to recover from it all. School is back. I will need God's grace as much as ever.

My friend's Janet Wedding.
30 June 2007 was a special day to my friend, Janet. She got married with her husband, Hsin Wen on that day and she invited me to her wedding dinner in Orchard Parade Hotel.
I knew this friend since 2nd year in NTU. We studied together and we went through a lot of up and down together. She always shared her testimony to me. She always prayed for me and gave me a lot of encouragement. She is a sister-in-christ who always trust in God for everything she has or going to have, including her charming husband:) Her faith in Jesus amazed me a lot and she has been a good example of christ follower to me.
I wish her all the best for her marriage with Hsin Wen.

prayers
I shared this with some but not all so decided to share in this blog.
For 3 years in the school, sometimes I feel that as child of God, I should do something about getting fellow bros and sis in the school to pray and fellowship... however, I did nothing... felt guilty at points of times for not obeying the HS promptings...
Well, seems that God got fed up of promting of me to gather fellow Christian staff to start a fellowship group... He sent a newly joined teacher to do that job... That teacher, lets call him KH, is very on... he came to me and ask whether wanna pray together last week... with another fellow colleague... wow... of coz... its high time we come together to pray and fellowship... its a good start :) and we agree to come to pray and fellowship at least once a week :)
today, KH asked us whether we wanna go for a prayer walk in the sch... wow... that never came to my mind... though i very tired, i think its important to pray for the sch and the students thus agreed to go... after the prayer walk, i began to see both these bros in different light... they really have a heart to bless the sch, the students and a strong desire for them to come to know God... and they were sharing with me that they have targetted and are reaching out to an untrained teacher... i am very glad to be in such company and pray that together, a revivial in the sch will come...
come and join us in prayers... pray that the sch will be rein and rule with God's presence and laws... pray that the students, the future pillar of the society will realise that they need God in their lives, will repent of their sins, will give their lives to Jesus and will live Godly lifes that would go out and make more disciples of all nations...
pray for me to grow as well... to grow to have a stronger burden for the lost and to obey more to God and not let my inadequacies hold me back...
yes... Jesus, help me to know and trust you more

4 memory verses for July
1 July - 8 July: "For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love." 2 Peter1:5-7
9 July - 15 July: "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." Philippians 2:3-4
16 July-22 July:"When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom." Proverbs 11:2
23 July-29 July:" Do not rebuke a mocker or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man and he will love you. Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning. " Proverbs 9:8-9
The verses are cumulative, meaning we will be able to memorize 4 verses by end of July. Remember to memorize word for word and also the verse number. We will do a sharing of our insights into the verses when we gather every Sunday. This Sunday, Jianming is meeting the unit at 930am at Singtel comcentre to have a prayer meet. We can have our sharing after that over breakfast.
