my mind was in another planet last evening and i had difficultly concentrating in class.
then an sms came this is what a lovely angel wrote:
“hello gerry! random but thanks for being a model superwoman in my life! 
was just thinking you need to juggle work, studies and ministry and i only need to focus on my studies, God’s challenge for me in life is peanuts compared to yours, really think you’re strong! thanks for being such a great motivation! love you loads! i mean it jia you tgt!”
God knows our every moment.. like when we are struggling and need an encouragement, He sends an angel along not just to brighten up the darkness but also to remind us that He is omni-potent, just right there with us.
doesnt this just gives you the reason to push yourself harder and say “yes, i can do it..” ?
=)
after i reached home from my night class last night, i did my laundry as my new jacket had a small tea stain. i dumped some clothing in the washing machine and went to bathe. lo and behold, i fell asleep after my bath while waiting for my laundry to be done.
when i woke up slightly later at 1230am, my mom was hanging the clothing for me. i wanted to take over since it’s my clothing but she sweetly told me to go back to bed.
some weeks back when i was down with flu, i threw up onto the kitchen floor and my dad cleaned up the yucky mess for me.
great is my parents’ love for me.
i have officially turned 26!
yet the fact that i am already in my late twenties has not hit me deeply. i am still feeling so young and full of life! whee~!
thank you for the countless greetings and well wishes via sms, bb pin and facebook!

had a treat lunch at ilLido, sentosa recently. it’s an italian restuarant besides the golf club.
my appetizer- onion soup
the other appetizer- cheese and tomato.. i didnt like the cheese
my main course- chicken bits with potato. which i didnt enjoy. the chicken didnt taste nice and i’m not a potato lover. the other main course was some salmon which i felt was overcooked. the third main course was pasta in tomato sauce, which i didnt choose as it was tomato based.
the only dish i enjoyed, the tiramisu with mint ice cream. i traded my tiramisu with my neighbour’s share of ice cream. i love choco mint ice cream!
the golf course.
i wished i had lunched somewhere else instead as i’m not into fine-dining. unless you are really into fine italian food, choose somewhere else instead.
my colleague and i had lunch at sheraton recently and we had a good hour there!
the rooms and pool is pretty old, but they are in the midst of upgrading. i’m sure it will be a very grand hotel in a few years time.
this weekend, part of the world celebrates mother’s day.
right now as i’m blogging, my mommy is cooking a nice dinner in the name of this honourable day. grandma is coming over for dinner too!
but i would like to blog about one of my cgs e478.
my kids celebrated mother’s day for me and the female cgcs. they made gifts and sang us a song.
my gift is a bottle of paper cranes, each representing each one in the cg and some friends. this symbolises that the members will be running the cg visions together with me. this swept me off the ground completely… it feels awesome to know my cg has caught the vision and we will be running together.
before i left to give bs, some of them came to appreciate me for the (little) things i have done for them and one of them said he (general persona) wants my anointing (faints- it’s my pleasure, but it’s God really).
besides having the “all-my-work-is-worth-it” feeling, i can only be thankful to God that He is using someone like me to bring blessings to these ”children”.
chilling out at cofffee bean expo this afternoon, d mentioned that i’m a “resurrected salted fish”. well, there is really no better description than this. i would have never imagine i could come so far, and i know God has a much greater calling for me than this.
thank you mommy for giving birth to me and taking care of me.
thank you wendy for “resurrecting” this salted fish =P
thank you children =)
- 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.
i bought a wallet for him, while he bought a pair of couple ring for us!
flowers of cos!
i made a “best boyfriend certificate” for him too!
my boyfriend’s coming back from bintan today! i hope he enjoyed himself there and that he’s more charged up after the retreat/ planning session.
last december, even before the year ended, God revealed to me that i would end 2007 well, which i did. He also added that 2008 will more glorious for me, but with greater challenges. there was much uncertainty within me. after all, i almost gave up my race in 2007. how could i endure new challenges in 2008? God heard my fears and assured me that He will see me through every challenges, all i need is to keep trusting Him. i stepped into 2008 with His promises.in 2008, God tested me in the area of relationship. till today, i still think it’s like a joke played on me..
i had a miscommunication with a certain friend who left singapore. i admitted i busted our trust and i hated myself for doing that. i spent so much time to build the relationship and i almost lost it. thankfully God intervened and the relationship is restored.
next, was someone whom i used to hang out with. but with a change of decision, certain things which was done and said, i was very affected.. maybe hurt with the matter. it was also when i began to see friendship in a different light. i felt hard to trust friends and slowly it became bitter..
in march, my health check brought me to new level of trust with God. it was a time of uncertainty and i chose to kept it from my friends. i kind of expected a certain reaction from a certain friend. but when it did happened, “friendship” lost its meaning to me.. i became dull towards the whole situation.. but didn’t realize I was actually building a wall around myself. however, i knew i couldn’t let go of this friendship because it means a great deal to me. thank God we found time to talk over it and resolve the issues. we are best friends still!
in may, my dad’s health went hay wired. he went in and out of hospital and situations at home looked hopeless. there were a few times when we felt he wouldn’t pull it through. the bills were also getting worrying. thankfully, we managed to settle his insurance after much hassle. dad should be going for his heart operation next month and in the last 6 to 8 weeks, he has been doing well.
looking back, there were a few occasions when i felt i’m losing my sanity. without the promises of God, i couldn’t and wouldn’t have held on at all. i know, whatever the days ahead are, i can trust in You.
God was with me not only in the valley, but He brought me to the mountain top as well.
- my cg multiplied and chui came into the big fun family. i never wanted a teary multiplication cg, so my multiplication party was one filled with laughter and fun, as usual. appreciation cg was not teary too, the way i wanted, joy and happiness. this year, appreciation was done in a casual manner, but with everyone around, it just completed the event better.
- i crossed over from a customer service officer to an account exec, which was some sort like a promotion in my company. it’s my first time attempting to do sales and i’m thankful i’m doing pretty well and i like what i’m doing.
- friendships are restored and i would say i have passed God’s tests. PTL
