Year 2007 is coming!
Are you excited?
Yes, I am!
I am getting ready & preparing for it to come.
2006 is really full of ups & downs... and I thank God for everything that has happened. =)

Im currently planning for 2007 & I need to plan for the whole year, not just one month at a time. I need to plan out my year so well that I will not waste time thinking what to do next month. God grant me tremendous wisdom! God, you said that you will give wisdom to everyone generously without fault! Amen!

Nov 2006 is my last financial month at AIA. But I'm not working very hard or striving to do exceedingly well this final month. God just give me the peace that He is in control! Amen!

Thank God for bringing Marilyn into my life too. A woman who is extremely passionate for God! Her life inspires me alot! Thanks Marilyn. =)

Oh yes yes, IT fair is coming next week. Thank God for it. I pray once again for the best deal from you! Yes, You always give the best!

Yes, with so many good things happening in my life..
I am about to go through another phase of moulding & testing....

Yup, I suffered and yeaned for God to take my heart pain away.

I lost my precious laptop with all my hard work & sweet memories in it.

This happened on 31 Oct, Monday night.

My laptop was stolen.

I prayed that the person who took it will be convinced to give it back to me.
That God will change his mind & give it back to me.

That night when I reached home at about 1.30am after reporting to police,
I lost myself in my tear.
I grieved and cried my heart out.
Never had I been so devastated in my life...

How can this happen to me. I have always been very careful.
This time, its not me... so I cried even harder.

I cried & grieved from 130am to 330am...
I feel like the world is crashing down on me... unbreatheable..

I saw him... I saw that guy and I know I can recognised him when I see him again.
God bring that guy to me... I want my laptop back.

The next morning, I woke up and my heart yeaned for the my laptop again..
I woke up crying on my bed...

It was so so painful....

All my hard work, all my memories, photos, everything!

I asked myself, "what have I done to deserve all this sufferings?"

Then God reminded me to read the book of "JOB" in the bible.
I did.

Yes, Job was a blameless and righteous guy who have to go through immeasurable sufferings. He suffered so much. He endured through.

That night, God is good.

I managed to meet up with a prospect because I need to work harder to earn back my laptop.
I always wanted to know my clients really well and if I can share with them the good news of Jesus Christ.

He shared with me his childhood story that day.
As he shared, my attention turned to him and the pain in my heart disappear.
My heart saw the sufferings he went through and I thought to myself.
What I am suffering now can't compare to his.

When we were taking a lift, this young Malay gal in wheelchair came in.
I saw immediately how brave and courageous many people are facing their own difficulties & troubles.

God is good. He remind me of that.

On the 3rd day, I woke up feeling the hole in my heart again... but i didn't cry anymore.
I have to learn to take it that I may not see my laptop again.
What i can do now is to pull myself up again to face tomorrow and to start to work again no matter how hard it is.

Yes, I can go through all these.

I have go through sufferings so many times in the past.
This time round, God will bring me through again.

Just wanna post this mail that I send out here.

I'm still hoping for the best.
Hope you can help to bring this miracle to past.


"My laptop was stolen on Monday, 30 Oct 2006.

I was devastated.

SYdney!

Yes, I am back from Sydney for a week already and my heart is still filled with joy when I think of my time in Sydney!

It's is wonderful to be in a beautiful city!

Before I wrote about my trip, I would like to thank God for everything.

"I want to sing until im lost in your love

Till im found in your presence

Worshipping before your throne

Moved by your spirit

Entering into your flow

How precious this moment

Lord I want you to know


It’s You

You who have won my heart

Taken me into your arms

Comforted me like a friend

Your love surrounded me from the start

I never want to be apart from you ever again"

Right, thank you Jesus! We love you Lord!

I went door knocking on Wednesday's night.

Just when I was about to stop my door knocking, my colleague persuaded me to not give up but to continue my door knock. (I was exhausted by then)

Right, so I walked to the next opened door and said "Hi" to this auntie!

SHe was soooo friendly! In the end, she ended up talking to me about Jesus for the next half an hour! Ha.... we are sister in Christ.

It's amazing how God bring people together and it's wonderful to always know that wherever we are in the world, Jesus linked hearts together. Amen!

She is so full of joy!!! After knowing Jesus for 6 years faithfully! Wow, her joy is on her face. What is most amazing is when I told her that there is something in my heart that sulk whenever I thought about my dad and his new wife.

She comforted me & told me that her husband has an affair with a China woman. But she has overcame her depression because of Jesus's peace in her heart. I was so convicted in my heart, I shall forgive and show mercy like Jesus did. I will love my enemy like Jesus did. What is good if I only love those who do good to me, even the sinners do that. Yes, fill me with your mercy & love once again! Amen!

Had a good time with my colleagues, had great seafood dinners, had a great time rooming the streets on my own! Had a great time making new friends!

Oh ya, God so divinely brought me to Central Baptist Church instead of Hillsong Church that I always wanted to go!

I get to visit such a traditional beautiful church with wooden benches and beautiful interior decoration from the 1800s!

Yes, I will not give up now.

Excited that I'm going to post up alot of pictures soon! =)

Sydney! yah, Im suppose to be blogging about how excited I'm feeling now 'cos next week will be my Sydney trip! But, aiyas!!!!!

I am so so sad now!!!!

Winnie called from Protrim and asked me to be her model yesterday!
SHe is a hair stylist at Sengkang Protrim and needs to go back for training sometimes.
After a long time, I finally agreed.

I told her that I wanted to keep my long straight hair! And I told her how I want it to be done!
Winnie is good, she cut according to what I wanted and I was quite pleased. She kept my hair style that I don't like it to be layered!!!!

When she was done, Issac, their teacher and director of Bukit Batok Protrim came along and told her he doesn't like my hair style! He said, "nevermind, go for hair wash, I will cut this hair!"

So he took my hair to really be his model to cut the hairstyle he wanted to show to his students how they should be cutting!

I was, "man, if you are the director, I trust that you know what you are doing, and maybe i needed a change of hairstyle."

So there he is, very confident and cut my hair. I agreed that his skill is good but !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate alot of layered hair!!!!
I know, its the trend! But i just hate it! I had that before and I dont want it again!
After the whole thing, he asked me to give a honest opinion 'cos he can see that I was displeased.
"I dont like it!!!" I told him that!
Yes, he cut my long flowy straight hair that I have grown for so long to this funky hairsyle!
I have to tie my hair in order to look "okay"

I hate it! and I am sad sad sad! I thought I can go to Sydney and take alot of nice pictures with me inside! But now.... hmmm....... Im so sad.
You know gals.... they are different. They treasure their hair like gold.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Thank you Jesus!
Don't know why I can be so moody at times. Nothing bad really happen today but I just become moody! I guess I stayed at my office for too long! I need to talk and interact with friends!!!
haa... anyway.... God is good!

We went to a funneral wake. Because I'm not very close to Cheryl, I didn't want to go at first. I'm very glad I did! Qingquan received Jesus into his life today! We were elated! haa... praise the Lord! =)

Another 2 weeks time, I will be flying to Sydney! Getting more excited because I will be on my own for 3 days! I mean, it is really adventurous and I really like it!! Imagine, next time when you are married, you will never get the chance to travel alone again! Haaa.....
But I was wondering, I have very little sense of direction... I can even get lost in Woodlands!! Haa..... How can I get around without being lost? Haaa... God will help me around!

I look forward to a well-deserved rest. A rest from all distractions. Just me & the nature & God!
Will be a great time! Thank you Jesus!
His love never fails!
