surrender...

this song came into my mind again...

在你手中

我願意將我全心交在你手中，毫無保留， 毫無保留。

我願意將我全心交在你手中， 毫無保留， 毫無保留。

生命中一切全是你所賜給我， 賞賜在你， 收取在於你。

也許曾渴望擁有， 但你要我慢慢學習放手， 在每一分鐘，

現在我已經不同， 生命屬你不屬於我, 甘願， 成為你手中美好的工作。

listen this from ~ 約書亞樂團

當將你的事交托耶和華, 並依靠祂, 祂就必成全.(詩三十七:五)

exhausted...

its monday again. so fast... another new week is here.
really tired n i can feel the pain from my back... ageing... :( exhausted! argh.

rushed back to cg on friday... wow we had the attendance of 14 ppl for 3 weeks already... this cg has no doubt increased in number...

the whole Sat was packed with guitar lesson, drum lesson, teenz service, teenz cg, catching up with chrytz and xiaoxuan, english service, yumcha with TnT @ Mc Donalds (obviously it was desmond's request - for his collection of Coke glass - olympic special edition)...

sunday morning was making some salads, fruits for the Free! Rally appreciation tea. it went well and a great time of fellowship... however the custom was so packed with ppl and i felt pekcek after the free sauna n walking across the causeway back to sg...

Ehh, know what.... i have such a weird feeling within me... i felt disappointed becoz two of my good friends (whom i alwaz consider them as close ones) did not wish me on my birthday. It's definately not bout the gifts or celebration. it's all about a birthday greeting. perhaps they have forgotten? but somehow i felt very disappointed... :( am i being normal when i have such feeling? or i shouldn't expect too much from people?...

or perhaps i think too much... Aihhh... woman!!!

little angel

i can't really draw the wings... and it only took Max a few secs to do that... arghhhhh... fong le... anyway this is what i ve learnt last nite during my illustrator class... hehe :)

I will continue to seek God's purposes for my life and honour Him with my time & effort! He knows the best plans for me and will guide me to His purposes (thanks ann for ur birthday prayer!)....

our TnT birthday club director Ms Yan Ng organized a surprised gathering at Elim after english service for mond and me (not so surprised for me coz she herself told me, haha)

whoahhhhh... blessings gao gao (thick thick)!!! thanks for my beloved TnTs members and TEENz leaders for your birthday prayer and blessings from God, with your hands stretching out, i believe these blessings are enough for mond n me for the next 365days! Yea, we will continue to shine for God and let Him use us mightily!

among the presents, these two have reminded me that God makes everything beautiful in His time. As i am so concerned for my family's salvation, i just have to trust in His timing!

and shokyee gave me this... indeed God is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. I will be lack of nothing! For He supplies all my needs...

How wonderful and blessed to be in this big family... i just can't stop giving thanks to my wonderful God...

Max promised to teach me adobe illustrator and photoshop.
last nite we had our first lesson at Mc D, Plaza Singapura...
wow let's have a look at the little flowers i've made!
it's not hard but lots of practices needed and too many commands and tools to remember! i am definitely excited bout it!

Max's Mac i-book... cool.

the first flowers i made... they look okay rite?... hehe

next week will be learning to draw a dolly... keke... thanks MaxXxXx~

a reply

after receiving my friend's reply, i think i was over reacted.
after reading the long mail... with explanations... perhaps the problem lies on me.
well, my intention is only to send out a birthday card...
hmmmn... i think i made the whole thing complicated.
"liuhan" is the word.

yay...

company is going to credit one day annual leave to every employee due to this yr singapore's national day falls on saturday...
woohoo!!! what a wonderful news to me! - for someone who is not entitled to any leave (either sick leave or annual leave) for my 6 mths probation... and i just feel like singing "Majulah~ Singapura~"
my probation will only end by 31 Aug... still more than a mth to go... never mind, after Aug, i will be getting all my annual leaves (pro-rated for all the months i ve worked) back! and i ve planned all my leaves... haha... great!

gospel cell gathering

wow! it's food again!
we were having our cell group gathering last Friday night. Initially I suggested to have a gathering within our cg because we seldom have the opportunity to meet during weekdays (coz some of us working/staying in sg) but aaron suggested we should try to invite non-christian friends to join us, make the gathering more meaningful...
carol invited xiaoxuan; stella invited 3 friends, 1 of them - Rae, is a non-christian and at the end of the gathering, she accepted Christ! wow all of us were very excited and we believe God is going to transform her life and make her a living testimony among her family and friends!
indeed, a fruitful & wonderful makan session!


by the way, here's our food list: pasta, shepherd's pie, KFC, satay, chai-tao-kuih, strawberry cheesecake, longan jelly, ahzou's full-of-love's red bean soup, chips and drinks... wow~ and these benefited our sentosa neighbourhood cg! :)

zoe's birthday 11-7

yea i know... it's food again!
the month of july, a scary month... coz so many birthdayssssss...
we pre-celebrated zoe's birthday at this famous fish soup restaurant at bugis... the soup is really nice! but the rest of the dishes are so-so only... nothing special.
after the dinner we still proceed to tcc for 2 pieces of cakes (and six cold waters, haha)...
have a blessed birthday, zoe :)

as you delight in the Lord, may He grant you the desires of your heart :)

Learn to walk away!

‘Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.’ Mark 6:31

One of the hardest things to do is ‘take a break’ without feeling guilty and selfish; or worse, feeling like a failure because everything on your ‘to do’ list didn’t get done.

Here’s a news flash: there will always be more to do! One of your biggest challenges will be learning the difference between setting high standards for yourself – and setting unrealistic, impossible ones.So what should we do?

Take time out. Jesus did. ‘Then the apostles gathered to Jesus and told Him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught. And He said to them, "Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while." For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat. So they departed to a deserted place in the boat by themselves.’ (Mk 6:30-32). Jesus understood the need for rest. So:

(a) make a list of the things that only you can do, then delegate the rest or let them go;
(b) learn to take small steps and celebrate small accomplishments;
(c) don’t allow the stuff that’s still undone, to undo you;
(d) strive for balance; don’t become addicted to what you enjoy;
(e) don’t compare yourself with others; work at your own pace;
(f) take time for the people who matter, otherwise you’ll lose them.

Busyness is a destroyer of relationships.
All the success in the world won’t compensate for the joy and treasure of your family and your loved ones!

(taken from daily devotion, australia christian channel)

Indeed, i feel that it is very important for us to maintain good relationships with our non-believer family or friends, serving is definitely important as well but busy in serving all the time, we might lose all these unsaved souls. Let us learn to walk away and make time when necessary!
