Glory Be To U

Today make another first chapter of my life --> cos it's my first time leading words in cell group. What does it mean? It simply mean more preparation and work for me...Haha!! Sad to say, I went for a drink the previous night before hence I didn't really have the time to prepare what I want to say. Whose fault is it? Of course nt me lah. Blame it on the people who asked me out lah....I'm reAlly good at playing Tai Ji rite?
Nevertherless, the word session continued on. It kicked on with abit of distraction here and there as there were a few people who couldn't control their laughters. Was it very funny? I dun know. Luckily I managed to pull it off the rest of the session by the help of Mr Lian & Mdm Hong. Thanks to their kind support in maintaining the disciplines and answering some of the questions.
As I was in the car travelling to Marine, CK mentioned something that struck my mind. I mentioned that it seemed that the topics I'm discussing today was quite related to me hence it wasn't that difficult for me to relate it quite well. I got a few positive comments which make me felt that I was not too bad after all. What I failed to realize is that God is the one that plan such a related topic for me to spread the words to people more efficiently. God is the one that created such a opportunity whereby I thought it was my own credit. It's a mistake which many people including me tend to commit as in term of good time, it's our own credit. When the difficult time comes, we blame God for it.
Therefore, Glory be to You God!! For you are such a wonderful and glorious God. You make things happen without us knowing it. Let us continue to walk by faith and may you continue to shower your LOVE upon each of us.

What Lies Beneath?

Behind every faces lies a hidden side of themselves which people do not want others to know.
"Some may appear to be strong,
but they are actually weak inside.
Some may appear happy,
but they are actually sad in their heart.
Some may appear busy,
but they are lonely inside.
Some may appear noisy,
but they are quiet in nature.
Some may appear rich,
but they are actually poor.
Some may appear joyful,
but they are miserable inside.
Some may appear intelligent,
but they are really slow learner."

So what really lies beneath inside each and every one of us.

An Unforgetable Dance

I went for my 2nd Lindy 3 lesson last night. The lesson was more interesting than the first one I had two weeks ago. There were a lot of new faces though i heard that they are mostly 'old birdies' who had been MIA.
After dinner, I practice my lindy moves with my Princess C which make it another unforgetable experience for me. The reason is that I danced till my mouth bled. Very impressive, rite!! Cos my cute little princess had accidently elbow her knight accidently. Poor princess, how her hand hurt? Anyway, it's nt her fault lah. I guess I need more practice to perfect my styling and my reaction timing.
Anyway at the swing fling, I realized that I forget a lot of the moves due to lack of practice and reluctance to try out the new moves. I would rather blame the music, DJs.........a lot of excuses ah. Forget it, just relax and enjoy myself.

War Of The World

It's been quite a while since I wrote on my blog. The reason is simply I've been working OT for the past one week and I believed that there is nothing to write about regarding my work life. It is the same every day: " wake up and go to work, wash up and go to sleep". Sound very interesting rite? Haha!!
Today is saturday and I went for cell as usual except that I'd been the only guy present. The rest of the guys are busy with their own things hence I was left there to survive on my own. So sad, haha!!
After cell, I went to catch 'war of the world' with GQ, eg, vincent and jason. The first ten minutes was the most exciting part of the movie as I had to jump from one seat to another. I finally settled down at the third attempt. It's because one seat was separated from the rest and I decided to test the system. Somehow I failed, hence ended up with the shifting and jumping.
Some part of the movie caught my attention and I decided to share with all of my friends here:

1) There is this one guy that allowed Tom Cruise and his daughter to hide in his underground shelther with him. The guy talked about his past occupation and about his goal of defeating the alien. He even make fun of Tom about being a coward or runnning away from the problem. However when the time of crisis appeared, it is Tom which kept his cool while this poor guy started to behave like a madman. This situation also appealed to us whether as a person or as a christian. Some people like to talk 'BIG' all the time or maybe show how holy he is. But are we able to withstand the pressure/stress when the time of trouble appeared? Therefore never judge a book by its cover. Problems and troubles that don't kill you will only make you stronger; or simply to mould/share you into a better person.
2) Tom Cruise killed the person that took him in for the sake of saving his daughter's life. As a father, he might have did the correct thing as he has his daughter's concern at heart. However, whether in the concept of moral or cultural, he had done wrong. Killing is a wrong thing. Morever, the person took them in at the time they needed help most. He had repay evil for kindness. What would I do in times like this? It seemed like one of the question that someone posted out this afternoon. Are we right to simply follow all the laws of the God? Are trials to test us or should we preserve in our faith in times of trouble?
3) The strong and powerful aliens are destroyed by germs and bacteria. It's kind of funny to think that the creature that can easily destroyed an army were wiped out by bacteria. But look at it from a different point of view, life is always fair. Others may have their strong points which we lack or want. Nevertherless, we should focus on our own unique and individual talents/gifts. Others may have the flair for dancing which I lack, but I may other talent that other do not have as well. Therefore, let us just rejoice in the ways we are created and not moan or complain about our lives are.

Life!!!

This mark the end of yet another of my normal routine working day. I was tired and exhausted at this point of time, but the time is, I couldn't get to sleep on the bed. It's funny that I am tired yet couldn't get to sleep. Hence, take the opportunity to write down some penny of my thoughts.
Does we realize that every day passes by us so quickly that we didn't realize it? We go to work every day and come back exhausted. We simply do not have the energy to do the things we want or desires. This is due to the fact that we have to wake up early again the next morning or perhap working OT most of the days. Is this the lifestyle that I want? What do I hope to achieve in my lifetime? It's disturbing to see that each week went pass me yet there is so many things uncomplished.
Always the case people would find all kind of excuses to support their behaviour when in actual fact, it is 'there themselves' who chose to live the life they want, the work they worked in, the girlfriend they have or even the attitude they adopt. We have the power to chose whether to be happy or sad, to laugh or to cry, to change or to compromise..................
Therefore, let us start from this moment onwards to be more positive in lives. Take a new steps ahead in our lives, make some changes and leave the rest into the hand of the GOD regardless of good or bad situation. Do not worry as I strongly believe and trust that GOD will definitely look over each and every one of us. He worked in ways we do not see or know. But fear not, for He always has our best interest at heart.
Over here, I prayed for peace and happiness in each and every hearts of my friends and family. Let us continue to walk each steps of our lives in faith. Amen. Yah, pray for a GOOd nite sleep for me too!! Bye!!

Catching Up With Friend

I managed to have dinner with 'An' who came back from australia a week ago. She was half an hour LATE man. What to do? My fault for not remembering her habit of being late.
After diner, we went to cafe cartel to chat abit about the past and a bit of crap too. Nothing much had changed except we became older each day. All the best to her in her studies!!

Moments of Suffering and Glory

Feeling very happy today cos it's Lindy night again. Spent 15min on the journey thinking and the force of the universe and the steps to dance. No choice lah!! Nowadays girls want new and exciting moves to make then 'happier'. Haha!! However, I realized that the basics is indeed very important and it's nt how many new moves or techniques u learned.

Moments of Suffering
------------------------------
Reach ard 6.50pm and saw Qing sitting tirelessly at the sofa. Pathetic sight as she seemed to be half-dead before the class commence. After I paid for the class, she told me that S seemed to be the one teaching the class today. Thanks for the advice after I had paid for the lesson LOH!!
Went in without any clue on how the class is going to be taught. Worse still, a lot of my friends are MIA. Luckily my "girlfriend CS" came for the lesson today. The lesson start with a song for social dance followed by new jazz steps. Couldn't really figured how to do it. Expect things to be better when dancing.
Nevertherless, things got worse. S taught a lot of new stuffs which others know but still 'alien' to me. Looked like a idiot standing down there like a fool while others happily dancing away. First time that I felt that the hour of lesson seemed ages and it haven end yet. Was consoled by the girls in the class and told to relax. Should ask them to try to put themselves in my situation and see whether they can feel relaxed or not? To make things worse, my stomach is groaning halfway through the lesson. Even my stomach know how to protest to the bad teaching...so bored that my stomach went hungry. Poor Stomach!! Maybe S likes to eat instant noodles cos he want fast and quick result--3min and it's ready.

Moment of Glory
------------------------------
After dinner, went to the corner again to practise with my 'GF' on the new steps learnt today. Managed to master 60% of the skills and regained abit of confidence. Eer, was my confidence ever lost? Watever!! My "mistress" HC who had been MIA for two weeks came to join me ard 10pm. Helped her to recap on the old and new stuffs.
Further joined by my friends ard 10.15pm. Was invited by YY to dance to show her friends only bcos Eg was too busy dancing with An. Next time shld charge her. Suddenly realized that there are too many gals and too little guys. The guys had to be reuse over and over again without rest. Wait the guys all collapse then the gals know.
Had to show the rest of the gals who was not here for the lesson what we learned today. Feel like a expert showing the students what to do.....so SHIOK. All of a sudden, I felt that the earlier hour of suffering is nothing compared to the two hours of glory. Oh thank you God for the short moment of happiness. Time to go to sleep and looking forward to the Marine cove on sat.
