Thoughts

After church and lunch today, sean suggested that we should go for KTV. As usual, the same old people were all ready to go anytime. It includes web, qing, ron, eg,,sean, andrea, meryl, lizhen and ME. We got a few people that are joining us for the first time such as sean and lizhen. I guessed the two of them must be amazed by our overwhelming performance and should I used the word "SHOCKED" instead. Nevertherless, we had a enjoyable time singing and relaxing ourselves. The time passed by so fast that there was still plenty of songs that we couldn't manage to sing. What a pity!! And poor Andrew--He spent about one hour waiting outside for ron. So sweet of him, rite!!

Let me just share some of my thoughts here tonite. We had a small discussion about relationships this morning. It seemed that many people have different views about love and each of us has a different expectation of it too. So what is Love? Is it supposed to make people stronger or will it make us weaker instead? Is it supposed to be a happy event or will it only lead us to depression instead? At different stage of time, individuals will tend to view love differently. From the initial stage to the end, no one know what lies ahead of us. We want to reach and search for it, yet we are afraid to be hurt by it at the same time.

Men are just so strange and so difficult to understand lah. We seemed to be strong and tough on the surface but deep inside, no one know how weak we are. It seemed ages ever since I really gave some serious thought about relationship problem. I always tried to view relationship as the least important priority on my list as it will only hinder my growth in career and personal growth. It will give me more problems to cope and distract me too. Maybe I'm just too scared to take the first step or getting myself hurt in the process. WHATEVER the case, I think I won't get myself into this type of mess in the next couple of years lah. It's just too troublesome for me to handle and I just want to relax myself for the time being.

Crazy Night At Concert

This morning, I woke up feeling abit sick and tired. I just don't feel like doing anything and hence 'ROC' for the whole morning. Worse still, I was late for the PDL session as well. It was close to 3.25pm by the time I reached Tiong Bahru mrt. But I simply don't care and 'bochap' lah.
Blame it on the slow traffic or even the illness loh.

However, God always has a better plan for me even though I may not realize at the beginning. Along the way, guess what happen? I met Wee Min and Lizhen who were on the way to sharon's place as well. The best part was that they wasn't sure of the way and in the midst of nowhere. Therefore, I became their guide for the day bringing them to sharon's place. I guess this may be God's way of using every circumstance to shape me up regardless of how small I may imagine myself to be. Imagine that I was late yet God was able to use me to be a direction to bring people to him. It's simply a miracle, right?

After the PDL, I accompany Qing, Eg, Jimmy and Web to the concert at Ang Mo Kio. It was a open-air concert with people singing songs of 60 to 80. The beginning was a bit boring as most of us were busy tucking into our dinner --packets of mixed rice. Even the MC mentioned it after two songs was performed. So good and proud of us rite!!

After one hours of warming up, most of us got into the moods and sang along with the band. The MC went around asking people to participate and sing along. The MC even held the mike for the audience to sing. And I was one of the 'LUCKY' guy who had a chance to sing for the public to listen. Forget to charge them money for coming to my concert, what a pity!! By the way, Andrea and her friend-Veron joined us half-way through the concert.

Towards the ending part, our whole gang really went crazy and made a lot noise who caught the attention of many audience plus the MC. I guess this is what they mean by "young has its advantages." The rest of the audiences are mostly in their mid 30 and above. One of the most popular action of our gang is of course the FAMOUS hand gesture of ME- JOEL. For people who know me, you all should know it rite!!

The night was extremely crazy and enjoyable. One of the thing I'm glad is that I don't live in Ang Mo Kio especially after tonight. Quite embarassed to be in the centre of attention with the whole gang of us making so much noise comparing to the rest.

Tiring Day

Let me share a little about what happened on thurday. As I mentioned before, I'll be expecting a new colleague to join me on thurday. Thanks God for sending a cute and adorable girl to brighten my day up. HaHa!! I was sitting at the reception counter when I noticed this pretty girl sitting beside me. I had this feeling that she's my new colleague and I was right.

The rest of the day was mainly paper work again and getting to know the new colleague-Karin. The Lindy at night was quite unusual which at the FIRST time, there are almost the same number of guys and gals. This indicated that a lot of people was MIA. Hui Cheng and Qing happened to be one of them. It seemed that Qing had fallen sick. Poor Qing!!! Hope she get well soooN. The lesson is coming to an end in about 2 more lessons. I'll been considering and most probably, I won't be joining Lindy 3 as it's quite difficult for me to make it at 7pm for the lesson. Let wait and see what happen then...........

Fri--Tiring Day
Today I managed to get to know more about my new colleague-K. She's basically a person who like to sleep all the time. She's also a very funny person which is very different from my first impression of her the first day. Guess this is what people mean by look is deceiving. By the way she got a BF oredi. Hence it's another gone case for those that are still single. Am I one of them? I dun know lah. Give me a break.

Another First Day At Work

Today is another of my first day at work again. I guess this is the life for a man of many jobs. I waited at the reception area for about 20 minutes before the person in-charge came to bring me in. So sad like nobody want...haha.

The first part was quite relaxing as I was told more about the operations of the company. The people around me are all very nice and friendly. Just that maybe it's the first day and we haven't really know one another well. The pantry was excellent with a vending machine providing free coffee, milo, tea etc. What a wonderful place to be in!!

After lunch, my job was basically to help out in some filing and paper work. This somehow mark the end of my first day at work. Tomorrow I'll be expecting a new female colleague to join me. I wonder what will she look like? Life is always full of surprise. Let me have a sweet dream tonight.

Saving early

After reading through some books at the library today, it helped me to recap about the meaning of saving early. There was this story about two young men who started working about the same time. One start to save a sum of money of every month while the other one spend his money on luxury lifestyle and things. When they retired, one is able to live a comfortable lifestyle whereby the other had to struggle to make ends meet.

Does this sound familiar to alot of us? Most of us spend most of our lives trying to earn more money, but we always seem to face the problem of "Money Not Enough". Have we give some serious thinking into the reason behind it? The logic behind it is very simple. The more money we earned, the more we spend. A lot of us fall into the trap of spending our money first before saving the rest. The correct method should be saving our money first before spending.

Luckily I have changed our occupation. If not, a lot of my friends would say that I am trying to sell them insurance liao. Above mentioned is just a few penny of my thoughts. Hope it would benefit all of you who is reading it. Starting on my new job again tomorrow. Hope I will stay in it for at least a year. Leave it into the hand of God and see what he has in place for me.

Monday Blue

One of the most amazing thing that I done today was to tidy up the messy stuffs in my house . It took me a couple of hours before I completed it.

Time passes by me so fast that it was gone before I knew it. I went to visit my aunt who was in the hospital for the past few weeks. Her health is recovering and she seem to be in better spirits. One of the thing I learnt is to get more insurance coverage for my family and me as the expenses for hospital is getting higher and higher. Even for a 6-bedded C ward room costs up a few thousands if we have to stay in it for a period of time. Scary, right???

Nevertherles, hope that all of us will continue to stay in our pink of health and enjoy our lives to the fullest. That's it for today!!

Purpose in Life

After the morning sermon in church today, a couples of thought went through my mind. The sermon mentioned that GOD design each of us for a special purpose. We are shaped to serve God. Is that the case for a lot of us or have we lost our purpose in life chasing after insignificant things and lost ourselves in the midst of the process?

Many of us spend a lot of our hard-earned money buying things that do not last for eternity eg. cars, branded clothes, handphone etc. What is the reason behind all these actons? Probably it's due to peer pressure or simply being vain. I shall left the answer to each of you to find out on your own.

One thing I realized is that man is never satisfied of what they have or always wanting a better offer. What has probe me to say this is because I was offered to go for a job interview which offered a better pay and prospect. Aiyah, Man is greedy by nature I guess. Whatever the case, I hope God will guard my heart against temptation and let me be more committed in the things I do. The most important thing for me at this point of time is to prepare myself for the new work next week.

This week had been a challenging and exciting week for me as I experienced many new things in my life. One common problem I see with my friend around me is that they can't seem to relax themselves. All of them seemed to be troubled by many problem such as career, relationship, family.....

What I can do for them now is simply to pray for God's wisdom and grace to safeguard their heart. No one can really help them unless they are willing to help themselves. Let hope I can see my friends back in their cheerful and happy self soooON......

Rainy Saturday

Let me share about the PDL session at sharon's place today. The food was fabulous especially the 'wu xiang'. Thks Qing for taking the effort to make it even though you are tired yesterday. Not to mention, the tea and fruits were very nice to go along too. I would like to express my thanks for all the people that helped to put in the effort to prepare the food so that i can 'ROC'. Just joking lah!!!

I enjoyed the game that was played in the afternoon about the opinions of people about themselves. From the game, I realized that I am like a box of nonsense and laughter, gentleman, Mr Funny, AWOL agent.............Thanks for all the honest,caring, motivating comments ah. U all know who you are, rite!!!

Besides the game, I found a lot of other helpers for my cafe too(in my dream). They include Webster(Bouncer), Andrea(Dancer) and Yeing Yeing(Singer). Seemed like everyone all liked to relax one corner. Enough of the nonsense for now.

Right now, my wish is for all my friend to remain happy and cheerful for the rest of their days. Do not drown yourself in sorrow and despair, but to look on the bright side of every things.


" Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about what happens to you"
1 Peter 5:7
" Can all your worries add a single moment to your life"
Matthew 6:27

A Night At Ai Qin Hai

Tired tired tired.......just returned from Ai Qin Hai. What is it? It's basically a place where friends get together to chill out and listen to some people on the stage trying to entertain us.

The turnout was better than I expected. Before that, YES!! Let me mention a incredible thing that happened during dinner. QING had eaten a plate of fried rice with egg and veggie plus some chicken meat and finished it. She rarely eat hence it's a miracle that she managed to complete a plate of rice.

As I was listening to the music, many thoughts came across my mind. I want to own a cafe in two years time. Just a tiny little seed of dream that I planted in my heart. By the way, my team of management already consists of a singer(Sharon), guitarist(Egwin), bartender cum waitress plus singer(Qing) and one cashier(Meryl)..............WHATEVER!!!

I also don't know what I'm writing oredi. Perhaps too tired and my mind not functioning very well. That's it for now. BYE

A Blessing in Disguise

Today is the second and last day of work for my company. What has happened? Got sacked or what? No lah...Let me explain slowly...............The story began........................

I went to work with a tired body and mind, forcing myself to work even though i don't enjoy it. Early in the morning, I was supposed to tally the cargo in the container. The work was tedious but not unbearable. The problem is that not many people is willing to teach for fear of me snatching their jobs. Very normal I supposed.

Another problem I faced is that there are too many smokers around me and plus the smoke from all the forklift around me. I almost wonder whether I will died from cancer. My poor nose had to endure all their nonsense for the whole day. Poor nose!!!

Luckily towards the end of the day, I received a call from a job recruitment company telling me that I got a job. The pay is higher, Company Name better, Location nearer......therefore i decided that it's time to change job. I guess it's God will as he probably want me to go through a tougher situation first before i enjoy the fruit. What more, I will probably appreciate the things that is given to me. Thank You, God!! For all the good things that you put in my life and supporting me through the difficult times of my life. Every trial in life is to give a better testimony in life. All of you who is suffering or searching for the purpose in your life, just place your trust and confidence in God and He will answer all your prayer.

First Day At Work

Today mark a new chapter in my life as i start on my new job. Almost bored to death for two hours as there is no one to arrange any work for me. All they said was look and observe. If i can learn just by looking.......i must be a genius.

Another problem is the conflict between the different staffs there. Pls save me, Oh God!! My day has passed by me even though nothing much was accomplished. I must really stay focused to overcome all the difficulties in front of me. The God is my saviour....Thank You Lord!!

When i was reflecting on the happening today, i was suddenly overwhelmed by the exciteness of future and confidence filled my heart as i think of the ways i should have handled things. Yes, there is nothing to difficult to solve. As long as we perserverse and continue to place our trust in God, He will definitely help us to solve the problem. Tomorrow will be better.

A Tiring Day

Folk!!! Another day has passed by without us realizing it. So what have we achieved or wat should we have done that we did not do? Come to think of it...it's pretty scary as the time passes by us every day and yet we always seemed to do time at our own pace.
The problem with me is that i treat each days like a dream and never focus on things that i should do instead. Someone wake me up!!!
Every day we are faced with new challenges and times where we have to make decision that will have a great impact in our lives. The path ahead is filled with many uncertainty but as christian, i have faith and confidence in my LORD that he will take care of everything for me. GOD bless all my friends who is/are facing difficulties and worries in their daily lives. Let them know that they are never alone as you are always on their side encouraging and supporting them.
Let us overcome all the problems and worries for the God is my saviour. AMEN

First time writing a blog

Blogging seem to be getting more and popular as i can see many of my friends starting to write their thoughts and feelings on blogs. Therefore i decided to follow in their footsteps. For Fun!!!
Today is a normal day except that i went for a job interview and got myself a job. I will be commencing on the new job pretty soon. Sian ah!!! Someone save me.
Hopefully i will not regret my choices. The workplace looked like Pasir Panjang with many people baring their tops and so different from what i had imagined. Looked so out of place when i was in shirt and pant and tie. Looked like a fool walking into the zoo. No offence to the people, just a little thought that went through my mind today. Neverthless, the people looked quite friendly and approachable.
God bless me in my daily decision and my walk with u, Lord.
