Wedding ceremony

I like to attend wedding ceremonies, holy matrimonies, especially those of my good friends. Its always so heart warming watching them two lives joined as one.. and especially as the bride is walking down the aisle, with the warmest wishes of all the relatives and friends present, it is always such a heart touching scene.
Attended Juner and Kelvin's holy matrimony today and really, have so much 感 触。Dont know why, dont ask me why. From the moment when Juner was walking down the aisle towards Kelvin to the end of the ceremony, I could feel the blissful and blessed atmosphere in the air, as if thousands of angels were in that place.
Of cos, at our age, it is such a common thing to attend weddings of our friends. Still remember years ago, we were busy attending the 21st birthdays of our friends. But a few years down the road, here we are, attending one another's weddings. WE ARE GROWN UPS LIAOZ.!! haha... dun deny it, but indeed, we are all moving into the next stage of life. Praise the Lord that we are all moving forward!
Of cos, at every wedding, it is yet another chance for friends who have not met for a long time to meet up and catch up with one another. Haha... ya, probably that is another reason why I always enjoy going to weddings, cos its really the time when U get to see friends that You have not seen for ages, and you start to catch up. I like to meet friends, I like to meet people whom I dun get to meet during the normal daily lives. I like these moments :-)
So, monday night is the dinner banquet @ M hotel... thats is another time for me to have fun and a good time catching up with friends... looking forward to the yummy dinner too ....hehehe....
Congrats Juner and Kelvin! May God continue to bless both of you so abundantly in your new chapter of your lives!

Being focused means not to be distracted

I felt today's sermon was speaking right to my heart, cutting right into my spirit... Holy Spirit was reminding me of the weaknesses and the flaws in me that I need to change. It is the time, the moment.....

This is a summary of what I learnt and heard from God today. I feel so blessed and I made a decision in my heart to change:

Pastor Kong talked abt being single-minded and when we are focused in our mind, our glory and creativity of God is released in us. Indeed, we have a life assignment fro God. Success in life is all about being focus minded. Focus brings energy and power to everything that you do. Jesus is the best example that we can ever learnt from, He is our role model.

3 things we need to build on in building our life assignment: Our STRENGTH, our DISTINCTIVENESS and our REVELATION. And its all a choice that we need to make.

The definition of distraction - means to have your attention away drawn away to something other than your purpose. And this creates confusion, which drains energy out and away from you.

So in conclusion, the 3 Don'ts:
a) Dont get distracted by INTERIM SUCCESSES
b) Dont get distracted by COMPETITION
c) Dont get distracted by the PAIN OF LIFE

tHEre is so much to learn just from this one hour of sermon. My mind was already totally blown away as I sat there, hearing Pst revealing point after point, precept after precept...

I saw how I have been getting so upset and jealous in my heart, due to some arrangements at my workplace, that really causes me to think of even getting out and find a new job. I was thinking of the prospects of stayin' in this job, at how far would I be able to go given the opportunities that are set ahead of me for NOW.... with so many outstanding people in my team, and I was not a homegrown, my subconscious mind always and keep telling me that its too difficult for me to survive.

But when Pst asked us to let go of our distraction by the competition and jealousy, I could felt the Holy Spirit nudging me, telling me, "HEY! Pastor talking abt u! " Yes, I have my revelation today. I also can shine, cos my light will not be hidden as long as I perform my best in the area that God has put me in. Never mind that there are so many smart and outstanding people. As I focus on my strength, on my distinctiveness, I will be able to shine too!

I want to shine ever brighter than before. I need to be focused! Yes, that will be my resolution from now on. I must not look down at the small talent that God has placed in my hands. I have the responsibility to let it shine!

Thank you Pastor Kong, Thank You Jesus, Thank You City Harvest Church!

Looking forward to the long awaited rest

finally this week, my manager ask me to go on leave, cos he is outstation and i finally finished the current job. Had such a tiring time doing this set of accounts, because the client is cannot make it... haiz.. but thank god, the accounts exec, Pei Zhen, was so helpful. Otherwise, i think do until next year also cannot finished! :-(

But the condition for me to go on leave, is provided I cleared up the files.. so here I am, today is tuesday already. 3 more days to the end of the week. Really hope I can rest at home tomorrow, and to go down church for the bible study.

There are so many things that I want to do, but yet, so little time. And reality is that I need more time to rest before the peak starts... Oh My GOd! God, pLease increase my time!! I want to fully maximise the next two days, complete and run all my errandS!

*****************************************************************************************************************

Recently, been reading the book titled" The Parable of Pipeline". Gerald's mum passed me this book many months ago, and I never got the time to pick it up. And sometimes, I tend to get lazy to read... rather just stoned or surf the net and do other things...

But the moment I started reading the book last sat, I realise that I have fallen in love with the book. Although its a secular book, teaching you how to increase your wealth, but I was greatly impressed by how the author has simulated the ideas and concepts through a series of stories. And the stories do not take a PHD or genius to understand what is the moral of the story.

I am now half way through the book. I felt so strong in my spirit that it is really God's timing. God knew that I have made a decision to start saving this month, cos Gerald and me had agreed that from this month onwards, we will start to save up for the wedding. And God is using this book to teach me how to increase my wealth. Although I dont know how much I will adopt the strategies proposed by the author, but I am so grateful to the Holy Spirit, to God, for prompting me to pick up this book and start reading. And I must say I am reading it at a speed so fast that beats all other books that I have read so far!

I believe that in this building fund season, I am and I will prosper in Jesus Name ! We need to constantly confess out in faith, and believe and walk in faith! I knew it is going to happen, because my God is a real God, and ALL his promises are TRUE AND AMEN!

A new look

haha... i finally went to rebond my hair last sat. I sat in the salon for almost 3 hours. But surprised that it took shorter than i expected, cos the last time I rebonded my hair, it took me 6 hours!


I sat at the salon, felt so sleepy... probably because the whole week been so busy, rushing work in office. And finally come weekend. The moment I drop myself onto the chair, tiredness surge and my eyes started to close... and I could feel my head keep nodding up and down as the lady applied the cream and trying to apply the heat to straighten the hair.


Been a long time since i last rebonded my hair.. hmm.. come to think of it.. that is like 3 years ago lioaz.. haha.. I like rebonded hair, I like straight hair, and I like my hair to fall neatly in place when I wake up in the morning. :-)

*****************************************************************************************************************

Just read Klessis's blog.. found out that she also rebonded her hair! haha.. so exciting! Kless, you are the 4th person i see this week to ve rebonded hair within the last 7 days! haha.... seems that rebonding is never out of fashion!
