I am so happy!

hey guyS! today is a special day for me! wan to know why is my title "I am happy"? haha... make a guesS?????
well, the reason is simple: My company's yearly promotion list is out and God is awesomely good leh.... I am promoted this round! :-) As some of you may hear from me for the past 1 month, I have been so worried about this round of promotion. The reason being I am a mid streamer and there were actually rumors that mid streamers will not get promoted this round because there are too many seniors to be around. So I kept praying and believing.. and got my friends and cg members to pray for me.,.. and indeed,God came true for me! AMEN! I love you Jesus! I Love you I Love You I Love You!
God's principals in the bible is indeed so true. Jesus says in Mat, " Ask and You shall receive, Knock and you shall find". Indeed, God shows me that when I open my mouth to ask Him, He will not decline any of our requests that we ask of Him. In the past 7 days, God already repeatedly twice shown me this verse can indeed happen in my life!
I am so excited.. I can feel it coming.. I can feel that the Holy Spirit is going to bring me to another level of where I am now.

my new hair color!

ha... today i did so many things in one day.. must really give myself a big clap....*clap clap clap*...hehe.. felt throughly fruitful today, but now, the end of the day, i starting to feel tired liaoz..

started off the day by attending a NTU Alumni Technical Updates Seminar @ NTU.wow.. really far man.. i mean, though its near to church, but it has been a long 2 years since I last step into NTU.. The whole place really changed a fair bit, but as usual lar, still many many trees ard..hehe.. and the long walk up the slope before can reach the lecture theatres. And was surprised to see some of my EY colleagues there..all in all, it was a pretty enjoyable session :-)
And after that, i went to do something to my hair. Actually was feeling lazy and wanted much to laze in on a saturday afternoon. But my mum called and she was gg to the hair salon. So, i thought, yah, why not i go and do something to my hair. I went and decided to add some colors to it. So i told the person I wanted to highlight my hair. Ha.. this it the second time i am doing highlighting. Hehe... always a pretty mcuh conservative person, esp when it comes to hairstyle. My dear boyfriend always tell me please go and do something to your hair.. haiz.. okie okie.. here I go.
At the end of 2 hours, whew! Got a new color on my hair.. hehe.. was pretty satisfied with the outcome, cos remember the last time i went and tried doing it, there was no color at the end of it. I was so disappointed at that time, that i decided wun try to do it again. But this time, i was pretty satisfied with the results. @_@
God is a God of new things and creation... haha.. thank God for the creation of highlight and colours~ now i feel more youthful.. hehee...oh yeah!

Purposeful life

Yah man.. TGIF!

So tired after a week of work… finally it’s the weekend again... haha.. .time to let down my hair and hopefully will have a fulfilling weekend again!

Today Pastor Kong called it the Vision Weekend. As pastor shared about the sermon tonight, his theme was PURPOSE. Yes, Purpose! What is God’s purpose for me? And God never waste any of our experience and failures to prepare us for our destiny. I was speechless, when Pastor shared on this. I remember how I always think of my past experiences, and Yes, I admit at times, I do limit myself, limit God and limit the Holy Spirit to work in my life. I have this mindset that there are certain things that cant be overcome, because of the situations I am in, and because of my family background, things are already in this shape, so, nothing much I can do anyway..

But after hearing tonight’s message, I had a new revelation. The level of my breakthrough is going to depend on how much of a paradigm shift in my mindset I allow in my life. The more I get out of my old paradigm, and the more I start to think God’s thoughts, things are going to be different. Somehow, I just feel so charged up and full of faith after hearing the sermon tonight. I make a pact to myself. I must live my life to the fullest to fulfill 101% of the purpose that God has placed in me!

Thank you Jesus! Thank you Pastor Kong!

i was reading brother isaiah's blog and his latest blog really set me thinking of the dreams that God had laid in my heart.
It was always a dream since school days that I would want to work in the financial sector. When I was young, I always thought working as a teller in a bank looks so much fun.. hehe.. strange right? As I was almost completing my university education, i thought my dream was really coming to pass once I graduated.
However, I was so sad during the big 4 accounting firms recruitment drive in my third year, I did not get a place in the firm. At that time, i was so disappointed and i asked God, WHY? Upon completing my exams, I sent out my resumes again and this time, I prayed and fasted and told God I really wanted a place in one of the Big 4, cos that was a dream i always had . But again, I was disappointed when i did not receive my offer from all of them. Instead, i was offered a place in one of the biggest local firm. I was really thankful to God that He really brought me this job without me going around to hunt for one, as I actually sent out this resume after I came back from my holidays, and by then, many of my friends already went for upteen interviews and me, None. However, as the months went by, I saw many of my peers from NTU, who did not graduate with an honours degree, getting a job in the big fours during their recruitment in september period. By then, I had already signed 2 years of bond to my company.
At that point of time, I was really so sad.. I kept asking God why is it happening to me? Why am I so "unlucky"??? But I remember God just said one word" WAIT'. To tell you the truth, I really cannot understand that loh.. but i decided to Obey and just do my best in that firm where god places me. I did my best and at the end of the 2 years, I was so glad. I realised that my learning curve was so much steeper than my peers in the big four who had also worked for 2 years. And last november, I was offered a place in Ernst and Young. I was so ovejoyed and I just kept praising God. I remember God's word, Wait, and now, I fully understand what He meant!
Friends, when God does not reply or when God says wait, We must obey. As what Isa 55:8-9 says, God's ways are higher than our ways, God's thoughts are higher than our thoughts." We may not understand why certain things are happening to us, although everything seem to be going well. But God always have his own timing. We cant rush him, and we should not rush Him. Because He knows what is best for us. We may feel disappointed at that point of time, but once we have gone through the moulding, God will reveal to us why He says what He says.
So friends, never give up halfway. Listen, Obey and Move! Thats the key to your success. Thats the key to unlock your derams. Never think that your dream is too small, and dun belittle your dream. Manyatimes, things does not happen according to what we want it to be. We get disappointed and we blame God, we blame the people ard us. Dun ever let the devil crepe in to affect our spiritual walk with God. Be like King David. Even when the enemies are against him, He still trust God, continue to praise Him and commit his ways unto the Lord and ask the Lord to direct his paths and moves.
Friends, I believe God has a BIG dream and vision for each and everyone of us. It may seem so hard to accomplish. But dun give up. Cos until you decide to throw in the towel, God never gives up. Be strong and continue to fight the fight! God will fight for you and Me!

Long time never see...

wow...so long never come in to update my blog liaoz.. haha..shall summarise what I went through for the past 10 days or so in here!

Last thurs,I finally drag myself to go back to workout at the gym after a long long time.. hmm... I always tell myself must b more discipline to work out, to burn the extra fats and calories... and haiz.. the sad truth is that, I often give in to my flesh..and give myself a lot of excuses. But recently, I discovered a horrifying truth! I have put on some weight! Oh MY GOD!!!!!! Thats a diaster! So i told myself that no matter what, I must be stricter with myself! and of cos, I start to have healthier diet... its really tough man... have to give up those yummy fried food.. but for the end result, its worth it lar..

and on friday, I joined my friend to the pilates class at Planet fitness.. This is the first time I attend the class. Not knowing what to expect, I just went in and thought.. never mind.. just follow what people do loh.. At the end of the lesson, I fell in love with pilates. I love the stretching and the exercises that the instructor taught us to train our stomach muscles.. thats what I need! At the end of the lesson, I told my friend that I would sign up for the pilates class @ Clementi Sports Complex, starting in August! haha... Pilates! Here I Come! @_@

Yesterday was father's day. We did not go for dinner, cos me and my sister are still being refrained from eating a lot of stuff, like eggs, seafood..and its all the chickenpox's fault. Anyway, My dad cooked a few dishes for us..hehe.. yummy... he cooked the paper-wrapped chicken, pig liver and vege soup and sea cucumber! wow...all so yummy!The four of us ate heartily and we enjoyed the fellowship... it was a good time eating and enjoying the food. And the thing is, I always love my dad's cooking, cos he always will think of new dishes and try them out. Daddy, I love you! And of course, since yesterday was Father's Day. I want to tell my Godly Father, FATHER GOD, I LOVE YOU!

The prayer of Jabez

I was reading the bible yesterday and came across this verse:

1 Chr 4:10

And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,"Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!"


Its a familiar verse, isnt it? The first time I came across this verse was when I read the book, " The Prayer of Jabez". This is a really powerful verse I feel personally...right now, i feel that its a season of moulding and more moulding for me in my personal life, be in work place, spiritual life and God is taking my weaknesses and moulding them....but i will continue to praise God under all circumstances,and I continue to pray that God will bless me and enlarge my territory ! AMEN AMEN!

and today, Pastor talked abt having big dreams..wow...yeah... THE LEVEL OF OUR ABILITY WILL RISE WITH THE LEVEL OF OUR DREAMS! wow..whew! so true..yeah... from today on, I m going to relive my dreams and visions, and start to work out to slowly but surely bring them to pass, plus the holy spirit...sure can sure can!

gg to zzz.. liaoz...got to wake up in a few hours time and go and visit vannessa...hehehe...

tHe Power and pREsence of the Holy Spirit!

Something so special happened yesterday during the cell group meeting:

During the worship time, suddenly I felt as if I was being brought into another Time Zone. At that moment, while bro isaiah was ministering to us, I suddenly felt that my heart was pumping faster and faster, and the air suddenly felt so densed. I felt as if a power was coming down on me, and I felt so weak at that moment of time.

At that moment, I knew it was the power of God. God was in the house. God was in our midst... and I knew that my heart was beating faster and faster, because subconsciously, I knew something great was going to happen...

And the next thing I knew, Bro Isaiah laid hands on me...and I could feel the anointing of the Holy Spirit... It was so special...that feeling...something which I had not experienced for weeks.... Thank you Lord, Thank you Jesus, Thank you Holy Spirit...I felt refreshed and was so delighted in my spirit ...

At the end of the worship session, I was simply in a loss of words...nothing can express how grateful i am to God. He always know when I need the extra push and encouragement. And He always will send the Holy Spirit in time, to minister to me, and to give me new strength.

Jesus, You are Wonderful! I Love You!
