Turning Older again!!!

Yesterday was the eve of a very important day. It mark another new chapter of the nation, world and most importantly, myself. Basically, it's my birthday today lah....hahaha!!! So, what did I do on the eve of such an important day?
Meet up wif S, mon, web, david, jiayi, hua ying & fabrian at Boat Quay where we had our dinner at Asian wok. The dinner was great with many dishes but especially the company with me. I even had the honour of having mon to feed me choco ice-cream which made web so envious, Haha!!
The company was later joined by Eg and Gq after dinner where we went to a bar called " Molly xxxxx". God was good to provide us wif a corner of a room where it was not so crowded and smoky in the bar. I felt so blessed to have the company of so many people to celebrate my bdae wif me especially when I can see almost 80% are falling asleep. Eg, Gq, S and even mon were struggling to keep their eyes opened so that they can count down to midnite wif me. So touched...hee!!!
The nite was short but it was one of the most enjoyable and memorable memories that one could ever experience. Having a group of frenz to keep u company till your bdae arrive even though all are already tired and stressed out by their own work during the week. Almost forget, another of my little dream came true last nite. Beside having the good fortune of having mon to feed me choco ice-cream, I even had S (dun mention her name here, keep it a secret...shh) to feed me CHERRIES. It's not only once but TWICE (Web was saying that it's so unfair.....haha, tat's life, friend). Think I shld consider it a dream came true since there is cherries being fed to me plus some beer to accompany as well. God is so good to me and as what wm always say, " I'm so Blessed".

Truly Blessed!!!

9th Sept 2006 marked another new chapter of my life once again. Feeling exhausted and weary in the morning where everything seem to be gloomy and dark. However, God is good as usual and also all the time.
Went for the family banquet organised by BC and this time round, my whole family came along as well. Indeed it's such a blessing to be able to come together in one family. I remember last year where only my dad came wif me but this year, my mum came along together. God always work in ways we least expect and also supply more than we can ever imagine too.
The taxi all came at the right time and what's more, out of the 50 prizes that was given out, I got the first one (50th prize) plus the last prize (1st prize). In all my twenty plus years, I had never won any first prize until today. It's not only the prize that is the most important, it's bcoz it's a confirmation of God to me that He's truly a God that care and listen to me all the time. My family are all excited by the prizes and the warmth shown to them by the people. I believed God will continue to work his ways out in their lives.
Somehow God always work in situation where I least expect. Also it's impt to know that God's timing is not my time and neither His way my way. The sermon tonite point out one very important thing that I had forgotten in some ways or another. I had often forgotten that God is the one working in me and I had often tried to solve things using my own strength. Human effort are always weak and futile and our hopes as christian should lies in God who is always able to do the impossible for us.
With this, I hope to encourage all my friends (brothers and sisters) that whatever difficult situations we're facing now, don't forget that our God is not one that is distant but rather one that had gone through more sufferings and hardships compared to us. Cast all our worries unto Him and we will definitely find rest in His presence. Love and peace be wif u all. (Hahaha!!!)

Exhausted?

Another week had bypass me and it's sat once again. Met up wif CS and faye yesterday for dinner and some drinks at mllenia walk where some goals and dreams was shared. Interestingly, people are always facing different phrases in their lives where others always seem to be better off than themselves.
Weeks after weeks had gone by with me adapting to my new workplace. Realised that it's difficult to maintain positive without being competitive. Is life really all about being competing and outshining one another? Why is it that people always seem to take advantages of others once the opportunities arises? Heard before that it's only the weak who need to prove themselves while the strong will always be kind and graceful. Is that really the truth or is it simply some stories made up by people who had already achieved what they want in life.
Nevertherless, life is forever a learning process where we have to learn new things every days. Every days will always have their ups and downs. Let continue to look forward to the end that lies ahead of us.

Friday once again!!

Another week had passed by and it's time to enjoy my weekend once again. Work was still as stressful and the environment was not quite friendly. Nevertherless, it's my choice to join and what I can do now is to try my best to learn as fast as possible and to excel in it if possible.
Friday nite was spent at Fisherman wif mon, web n james. Some beers plus finger foods (fried rice, kang kong....) was shared among us and the music was a good reminder to many of us especially the working class how wonderful life is. Enjoying the food and the atmosphere wif some friends at the beach on fri is still one of the best week to rewind and to R & R.
Many topics was discussed and the most common topic was still abt work, prospect, amt of hard work put in etc. However, one thing I realized is that though success is important, the more important thing is what we have learn to become as a person along the journey. If we forsake all our integrity, pride, principles in order to be successful, would we really be happy even if we achieve our goals?
What do I hope to become as a person for the journey ahead? The road is forever long and rocky along the way, what is one thing that I can look for as support and what lies in the end for me? Many a times, life seem to be unfair. Things often work in ways we cannot see and help come in different ways. Perhap the way for me to learn may be abit harder, but definitely, the rewards in the end would be great and the most important is to cultivate into a character that I would be proud of myself at the end.
