yay! i have completed my bf on 25 apr 09, sat!
this bf has been tougher as compared to the last a & b. in this 6 months of a & b, i want to thank God
- for blessing me in my ministry
- for blessing me with great leaders who are constantly looking out for me
- for blessing my family with good health and provision
- for blessing me with great relationships
- for blessing me in my career
even before i have completed this bf, the Holy Spirit has been prompting me an amount to give for the next a & b. looking at my education repayment, the next a & b seems to be another challenge.
but having tasted His goodness in this a & b, i’m very sure God will see me through again.
greater things are yet to come from now till my next bf =)
cg was fun and great!
i made a wallpaper with the cg members encircling the cg vision and we stretched our hands forward to pray for cg unity, cg breakthroughs and schools revival! the cg vision can only come to pass when the cg is united as one.
i sense a renewed measure of faith, passion and burden from the cg! need to improvised my wallpaper and stick it on the wall during every cgm up so that we can lay hands on it and see more names added to it!
on the left is our team’s photo- gotta introduce the leaders to my cg.
also made announcement about the bazaar, i love my mom and upcoming youth team which the cg is very excited!
i’m so encouraged that gerald made his way to cg after his cca although he’s totally worn out =)
i’m just done writing up a draft report which i need to submit to my bdm first thing in the morning tomorrow.
my customer actually made his way to my office to complain to my md, which is the big big boss.. thank God i was not in office already..
anyway, the case is big now and i’m feeling extremely blue.
i have already offered customer a very good form of compensation, and that’s even done discreetly and he still want to complain.. dont know what he wants..
i dont understand customers and i’m disillusioned by how my bdm works.
there are countless thoughts running though my mind now.
zm just now, i kept shouting to God never let me go when i’m weak and lost cos i’m so gripped by certain fear and uncertainty.
felt He reminded me to stand firm in what i believe in..
发牢骚。。。
发点小姐脾气。。
朵在我的阴密处。。
there was a time when men were kind,
and their voices were soft,
and their words inviting.
there was a time when love was blind,
and the world was a song,
and the song was exciting.
there was a time when it all went wrong…
i dreamed a dream in time gone by,
when hope was high and life, worth living.
i dreamed that love would never die,
i dreamed that God would be forgiving.
then i was young and unafraid,
and dreams were made and used and wasted.
there was no ransom to be paid,
no song unsung, no wine, untasted.
but the tigers come at night,
with their voices soft as thunder,
as they tear your hope apart,
and they turn your dream to shame.
he slept a summer by my side,
he filled my days with endless wonder…
he took my childhood in his stride,
but he was gone when autumn came!
and still i dream he’ll come to me,
that we will live the years together,
but there are dreams that cannot be,
and there are storms we cannot weather!
i had a dream my life would be
so different from this hell i’m living,
so different now from what it seemed…
now life has killed the dream i dreamed…
- i tidied my table this morning. while flipping and throwing away some letters, i found 2 red packs each containing $12. God always leaves His love in surprising ways like this. isnt He so sweet?
- i’m no big fan of any artists.. no matter how good or popular they can be. but yet each time my soul is dull, sun’s songs never fail to encourage.
my boyfriend and i were having dinner at liang seah street when an old auntie approached us with a tin can.
i didnt have any coins with me, so i asked caleb to give her some money. he dropped some coins into her can and the auntie gave us a small slip of paper with the following number:
9361
so funny..
was waiting for my boyfriend to knock off and spent the time in times bookshop yesterday.
scan through the rules of life by richard templar.
here are what i like:
rule 5
know what counts and what doesn’t.
there are some things in this life that are important and a whole lot of things that aren’t.
rule 16
change what you can change, let go of the rest.
dedicate yourself personally to things you can change, areas where you can make a difference.
rule 17
aim to be the very best at everything you do- not the second best.
failing is fine. aiming for second best isn’t.
rule 22
dress like today is important.
people will react differently to you if you dress as if it matters.
rule 36
know when to let go- when to walk away.
if it’s dead, don’t go digging it up every five minutes to check if there’s a pulse. it’s dead. walk away.
rule 50
if you can’t say anything nice at all, don’t say anything at all.
this, my dear, is what they call an adventure.
rule 55
be the first to say sorry.
we can say sorry and retain our dignity and respect.
rule 64
treat your partner better than your best friend.
rule 72
never lend money unless you are prepared to write it off.
12 quick tips for boosting your happiness at work
1. check for eyestrain by putting your hand to your forehead in a salute. if your eyes feel relieved, your work space is too bright.
2. sit up straight with your shoulders down.
3. get a phone headset
4. don’t keep candy on your desk. studies show that people are much more likely to snack when a treat is within easy reach, and a handful of m&ms each day could mean a weight gain of five pounds by year’s end.
5. never say “yes” on the phone; instead, say, “i’ll get back to you.” when you’re actually speaking to someone, the desire to be accommodating is very strong, and can lead you to say “yes” without enough consideration. along the same lines.
6. when deciding whether to say “yes,” imagine that you’re accepting a job that you’ll have to do next week. don’t agree to something just because it seems so far off that it doesn’t seem onerous.
7. don’t let yourself get too hungry.
8. take care of difficult calls, tasks, or emails as quickly as possible. procrastinating makes them harder; getting them done gives a big boost of relieved energy.
9. if you’re feeling overwhelmed, think hard about how you spend your time. be honest. how much time do you spend surfing the internet, looking for things you’ve misplaced, or doing a task that’s really someone else’s job?
10. let yourself stay ignorant of things you don’t need to know.
11. go outside at least once a day, and if possible, take a walk. the sunlight and activity is good for your focus, mood, and retention of information.
12. say “good morning” to everyone. social contact is cheering, and if you feel that you’re on good terms with all the people in your office, you’ll be happier each day. also, it’s polite.
met up with wendy tonight. it doesnt matter if it’s baby and diapers talk, relationship, finances or ministry advices.. cos it’s always good to just share, talk to her and hear from her.
missed those days..
more of such to come =)
