Just back from Overnight Prayer Meeting. Took a ride from the ever nice Bro Andy to AMK, and then shared a cab with Emily & Max back home. Took a nice shower and here I am, checking mails and waiting for my hair to dry. Heh.
Just remembered that Pauline left for UK today. Mmm.. Had two missed calls earlier. I wondered if its from her. Cell group ended at about 10:50pm and then I saw the 2 missed calls. Mmmm.. :<
Had a feeling could be her. Dunno who'd call me at that time. And its private. Maybe its her. She used to give me a call whenever she flies off. Mmmm.. Suddenly I miss her! :p
She'll be fine. I know. She's a strong, independent woman! :)
Alright. Hair's half dry now. And I gotta go soon. Have 2 appts tomorrow.
930am at NYP and 1130am at Punggol Drive. Trying to figure how I'm getting there tomorrow. And looks like the only way is CAB! Yeah. Coz its so Ulu! :/
But its okie. Would be worth it if I managed to close his case. Hehe. Supposed to close both the cases tomorrow. $400 & $500 budget! Hallelujah! Praise God in advance for the case! Hee..
Alright. Gotta go liaoz.. QT and then Zzzzzzzzz.......... :)

Hee.. had a good and not so good day today.
Good coz I met up with Pauline for lunch. We met at City Hall Mrt. And I was late. 20min to be exact. Ops! :p
Well, I went to find out the course fees for aerobics session at Chong Pang Community Club opposite my block and to Giordano to alter both my cargo pants (and oh! I forgot to collect them! Forgot all abt it! Mmmm..shall do it tmr.. :p) and then to Aerobic.Fitness to find out about the fees as well.
CC is much cheaper. Aerobics sessions costs $44 for member for 12 sessions. Meaning 3 months. And Pilates is $75 for 12 sessions. 1 hour @. Quite ok la.
Northpoint's much more expensive. Aerobics is like $125 for 12 sessions, though you can go any day as long as there is session going on. They have a scheduled sessions and when its on, you can just go for it. MMm.. dun sound too attractive to me. Heh. CC's better. :)
CC's membership is also $18 for 3 years. Make out to be $6/year. Thats affordable. I can play badminton there another day. Heh. Good. :)
Had lunch at Cafe Cartel and Pauline gave me a treat! Thanks Ger. Appreciate it. :)
Had my favourite St. Louis Ribs.. *slurp* yummy.. I always like that when I go to Cafe Cartel.
Whenever I tell myself that maybe I should try something else, I'll end up with the ribs again. Haha.. Nice nice.. :D
So we had a good chat and she's flying off Fri night. Fortunate ger. Gets to study in UK and experience all the fun & adventurous stuffs. Heh. I'm stuck in this little country. But I like what I'm doing. So thats not too bad. Singapore's a cool country. We have many things that other do not. Though we don't have many things that others have as well. Well, there's nothing that's perfect in this world. Except Jesus. :)
Left for office at about 1:35pm. Wah. Which means we only met for like an hour? Mmm..thats short. But we did had something to talk about. Seemed like we talked for some time though. Heh.
Reached office at about 2pm and talked to Liyun & Lynn who were there. And Dave just came back from appt as well. I don't know what I did much in office, and before I knew it, it was already like 3plus 4pm. Then 5pm. Did a few calls. And I really meant a few. 10? Haha. Thats bad.
Many more calls needed this week. Had 11 appts last week. So far, only 2 this week. Haha. Need to work harder this week. Mmm.. :Þ
SL is meeting me tomorrow. Heh. Should be normal review I guess. And I'm supposed to hit my FasTrack target by end July. Haha. Still havent got ILPs yet. Haha. How to go Bangkok like that? Mmmm.. must meet up with more ppl to see who needs ILP. Heh. Only have 1 ILP so far. MMmm.. need another 3 more. And other than that, I've already met the rest of the criteria to go Bangkok! Bangkok! Here I come! I MUST make it to Bangkok this year! Else no more chance liaoz! Heh. :)
God, please hear my prayer and anoint me this day! :D
God sees the desires of my heart and will help me to accomplish it! Of coz, without compromising my time for You! :D
Have been unproductive today. Cannot like that tomorrow. Mmmm..need to work harder tmr. Here I come! :D

Got up at about 11am? Hee.
Yeah. Finally after sooo many days of lack-of-sleep nights. :D
But life's neber easy.. Haha.
Changed both mum & my bedsheets, vacuumed and mopped the floor, helped mum to prepare the egg mayo sandwiches for her church event. Done at about 12:50pm.
Then I bathed, washed the toilet, and out. about 1:20pm. Then i prepared and had my brunch-first meal of the day. Yes. 4 pieces of the egg mayo that I prepared. And its the first and last piece. Meaning the top & ends that most ppl dun like. For me, I don't really mind. Such a waste to throw it away. Even Mum won't eat that. I'll just finish it. :)
Then left home at about 1:45pm. Went to get my contact lens solution. No more liaoz.. :/
Then went to find mum at the coffeeshop. Got her to bring the solution back home for me. Hee. :)
Reached MRT at 2:05pm. Emily was later than me. 2:15pm.
Reached church at 3:15pm. Went to Riveria. Supposed to report there, but there was a wedding going on. So went down to Riveria to see who to report to.. Saw someone there, decided to ask if we were supposed to report there and got a scolding. Mmm.. He said, " And you are late?!?"
Tried to explain ourselves. And then I was so angry. Being scolded for nothin. Hmph. :<
Decided to forget it. God knows.
Then duty started. Ran up & down to count the no. of boxes of ice cream, arrange the hot dogs, and was rotting for a few hours. From about 4pm to 5:30pm when the crowded slowly started to came. Those coming from the 2nd service. It was so crowded! So many people. Like fighting a war! haha.. But it was fun! Better than sitting there for an hour, doing nothing. :/
It was shorthanded. The next shift people werent there yet and we couldnt leave. Stayed till 7pm. Then finally! Help came and then we left.. :)
Took a cab back to Northpoint to meet up with Stephanie together with Emily. Had super nice duck rice at Blk 925. And then to shop around in Northpoint. I was dead-beat and legs were really aching. But no choice. Accompany Steph to shop shop loh.. Heh.
Then to NTUC. Wanted to buy Avocardo. But no stock. So got Oreo Cereals with Mashmallow!! Hee.. my favourite during NUS days.. Had that for breakfast most of the days. It was $4plus back then. Now $5 liaoz.. Hmm.. So expensive.. Inflation... Should have bought more to store in the past. Haha.. :p
Came back at about 9:50pm. bathed and did synchronised prayer till 10:30pm. Then online. Check mails and going to sleep soon..
service has been changed to 9am. And gonna get up at 6:15am in future liaoz.. hehe...
Good night!! Excited to hear tomorrow's great message!! :D

Hee.. looking forward to that.. probably I'll get to eat some of it as well! Hee.. :)

Wah!! This is sooo cool!! The template to edit the blog now is so much more advanced! This is really so great! Heh. *Impressed!* :p
Alrite. Had a super long day yesterdae. Was up at 745am. And I was supposed to be up at 7am, in order to reach NYP early to prepare for Ms Tay's appt. But too bad, woke up late. So not much time to prepare. Reached at about 9:05am. Called her and noone picked up in office. Called HP and it was off! *Blur*
Thought I was conned but I knew that she's not like that. Hah. So I waited while sending SL some sms to tell her abt it. Finally when I called her again at about 9:15am in office, she picked up and said she just reached. So it was false alarm. Haha. Just that she's late. Heh. good.
Talked for a while. Then she had to go for meeting. Sent me a sms later to thank me for helping out with her. Heh. That was nice. :) To be appreciated.
Then waited for SL to come. Supposed to meet Ms Tan together. Did some practice and discussion. Then SL asked me to call her and let her know that I'm there already. But we were supposed to see her at her house in Woodlands! So there was some miscommunication somewhere. I dunno where. She kept thinking that it was at NYP. And I thought I told her its at her place. Hah. Anyway, she drove rather fast. So we reached early. But Ms Tan went out for a while. And was not in. So we waited. And it was a 2 hour meeting. Almost. Good. At least gave her a better idea, or re-affirmed her decision. To upgrade or not is up to her now. So, she'll take her time to decide and let us know once she has decided. And then we'll provide her with the solutions step by step as she progressed on. Good. :)
Left her place at about 1:30pm. SL was going home, and I need to go Outram to meet Bro Adrian and Sis Lilian and Sherry. SL gave me a lift to Serangoon MRT. Took it to Chinatown and met up with the rest. Had a good time walking around, looking for good food, and satisfying my hunger. I was without food since the night before. Yes. Didn't had anything since morning. Except for a small glass of Ribena and 2 slices of apple at Ms Tan's place. Hah. :p
Had Char Kuey Teow and Sugarcane drink. Then as we walked around, had some samples of Ba Kwa, Pies and bought 4 Char Siew Bao. Only for $1.95! Cool. They had some promotion and we to benefit. Haha. :p
It was rather tiring. Walking round the whole of Chinatown and People's Park Complex. Haha. But it'll be a good outing nontheless. :D
We gonna play Amazing Race cum Shi Zi Lu Kou on the weekend of National Day with cell group. Heh. Had a hard time thinking the linking of the food names as well. But it was fun. And not forgetting Sherry's crappy name links and Lilian's at times. Hahha.. And I was a little crappy at the end also. Guess the brain cells were dying and I was really tired by then. :
Took a lift from Tony, Sherry's fren. And met up with 21st SCMC at City Hall. Supposed to meet Bernard first. But he was occupied. And I was left alone, roaming around Raffles City. Heh. ANd guess what, in the end, Bernard's wife wanted to eat dinner. So he accompanied his wife and didnt even turn up for the gathering. Win. :/
Not too bad. 10 of us turned up at the gathering last nite. Had dinner at Marche. And then proceed to TCC at Milenia Walk. Nice place. Nice ambience. :)
Good concept for gatherings. Hee.. :)
Present were: Edmund, KK, Jerry, Corin, Sally, Meiling, Cindy, Jingjing, Grace and me! :)
Only 7 of us were there for dinner. Grace came to join us at TCC. And left early. Went to Velvet Underground with her friends I reckon. Meiling joined us after her work. About 10:35pm? And Jerry was the latest. About 11:00pm I guess. And they were closing by the time. So we had to shift outside. And sit outside the cafe, with the tables. Good concept, really. Take a look there if you have the chance. Hee. :)
Guess most of us are still the same. Just that all the girls were with long hair. And I'm the only one with short hair. To think that I used to have long hair, and back then, most of them short hair. Paradigm change. Haha..
Left at about 11:45pm. Reached home at about 12:30am. Walked back from MRT with Cindy. And then I checked some mails, played Solitaire Showdown with Sayang again. Haha. Think I'm getting better at the game and suddenly realised some concepts that can be used. Haha. Happened to noticed it and found it to be useful. Heh. :)
Yup.. this is a long entry. And its all about yesterday. Ya.. so I went out at 8:30am and came back at 12:30am. How tired. Then got up late for today's service. Supposed to leave home at 8:15am and guess what time I woke up? 7:50am! Haha.
So I rushed all the way and made the bus driver wait for me. Thank God for cell grp members. Or should I say Thank God for fellow people staying in Yishun. Haha. Sms-ed Max and got him to ask the Bus Uncle to wait for me. I was on my way. Haha. Ran all the way from the bus stop where I alighted to the bus. Good thing the uncle opened the rear door for me, and saved me a few steps. Heh. Was already panting like mad. Keke.
Service was real good today. Weeped again. :~(
"By Your Spirit oh Lord, We'll claim the Nations, of the world for you Jesus,
Pour down your rain, Holy Spirit move in us today..."
Its really a very good song and its really powerful. Plus the drums as well. Awesome! :D
Took the train back today. There were too many of us. And HuiZhen came with us as well. Andy went to play soccer.. Heh.
Hahaha.. on my way back home, did some change to my hair! Hee.. Yaay!!
Think it looks much better now. Mmmm..shan't tell you what I did to it yet. Keke. :D
At least its neater and more presentable. heh. Happy. Oh.. it was only $40. Plus $30 treatment. So its $70. Yup. Mmm.. Guess I really can't take what Cindy's friend commented last night.
We were getting down the train, and then Cindy received a sms. She called back and her fren asked her: " You talking with your mum ah?"
GGrrr.... get what I mean...?? Its ok if you don't. Its really fine. :/
So.. I decided that enough is enough and I had to do something to it today. Keke.
Might do something more if I have more spare cash in 3 month's time or sooner. Now... Mmmm.. tight... Mmmmm... Praying for more financial blessings. Haha.. Checked my income statement for the coming month last night and had a little surprise!! :D
Hallelujah. When you give unto the Lord, He'll neber short change you! Amen! :D

Phew.. just done with a prospect's analysis... Been at it since 9pm. And yes, its 12:28am now.
Conclusion: She can still upgrade to her 99 year Condo, but have to live with $100K lesser of CPF at age 62. She'll still have about $300K..so its almost what she wanted now..
Cash wise, she don't really have to come out cash for the new place provided she can sell her exisiting woodlands at $300K. No one really like to buy woodlands now. Guess its plenty of supply. And she stays on level 2. Mmmm.. its tough.. Wont be able to get back much cash. Only $3K. Miserable.. :<
So, her cash surplus can be used to meet her shortfall in the areas of family protection, TPD & Major Illness protection, which she is very deprived of at the moment. Exisiting coverage is pathetic. Mmm..
Well well, more calculations to be done tomorrow for her cash funds...
Gotta present solutions to her on Sat.. Stressed... If all turns out well, I might be able to get budget of $600++/mth, plus her Special Account... Yeah.. Amen! :D
Their situation didn't look that bad after all, thought it was rather bad initially. CPF looks sound enough, though more can be done to let them work harder since she has the next 29 years to invest. Rather than to let the money sit there and rot... Might as well put to better use.. Yeah..
Haven't looked into the husband's. And he won't be around on Sat. Mmmm.. tough.. but can be done! Praise God for creativity and ability to be productive! :D
Time to sleep now... will discuss with SL tomorrow... 2 more appts in the evening and overnight prayer meeting in church... *yawn*
I need to sleep.... ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........

Heh! Felt good today. :D
Got to sleep in a little later. 850am. Met Mr Oh at 10am Causeway Point. And it went rather well. Am glad. :)
Then rushed to NYP, met Ms Tan. Good as well! Heh. First time in as long as I can remember, SL went with me. Hee. :D
A tough nut to crack. But nothing's too difficult for SL. Haha.
Good as well. Went to collect her existing policy details from her house at 1920pm.
Met Peiwen to sign the document and then Lunch at Old Airport Road with SL. Then back to office, finish up the paper work and did a few calls. And I think it was just 2 or 3. Haha. Managed to secure one appt as well. Haha.. Good. When God's for you, who can be against you? Hallelujah! :D
Then went to meet Mr Soon at Northpoint, signed the documents and then to Woodlands to Ms Tan's place. Then back home. Was real hungry man.
Mum cooked. So i warmed the soup and the rice. Had my dinner, bathed and then did the summary for Ms Tan.
Mum came back from Church and cut some mangoes!! Yum yum! My favourite fruit! :D
Delicious! Big and juicy mangoes. Great! :D
Its rather late now. Gotta go do QT and seek some answers... hehe... Good day.. and tomorrow will be even better.. :)
Hallelujah! :D

Heh. Today's a Monday.
Woke up early. Need to pass Peiwen some documents to sign. Well, it was the wrong form. And hence, gotta meet her tomorrow on the train to get the other one signed. Hee..
Had training today. More like discussion anyway. Oh ya. 25 days OCS gonna start week after next I think. Thats good! Always liked that. :)
Motivation to work and acheive target! Hee.. buts it gonna be real tiring. God is really testing me.. MMmm.. many things to think about.. to do...
God is testing me and stretching me now, I believe.. Haha.. :D
Met up with my JC classmates, Huiling and Esther. Had lunch at NYDC. Huiling had this vouchers from AIA and we get to enjoy a free set lunch with every order of set lunch. Good deal. So 3 of us shared a spaghetti and a pizza, a soup-of-the-day and salad, and 2 7-ups. Hehe. Esther was hungry for a cake later on, and we ordered the
Boney Cake aka Ugly Cake. Haha. It was kindda nice. With ice cream and hot chocolate fudge cake. Heh. Yum yum! :p
We left at around 330pm. Esther had her convocation tonight. Heh. Congratulations! And I went back office, made a few calls, got some appts, and went to AMK to meet my kindergarten classmate!! Yes! It has been a cool 18 years. And we are still in touch. I really can't remember what we did together during those childhood days, but I remember that I was always the one that called Fengyi and chit chat once in a long while. And good thing she didn't change her phone number all these while, though she shifted.
Still remember there was once, when I called her, and she told me that she is shifting house that day, but home number will be the same. Heh. :)
We exchanged a few letters back in Primary school and secondary school days. And we were in the same JC after many years as well. Heh. :D
Went to different Universities again. Though there's only 2 main ones. Or 3, if you consider SMU. And it was a 0.5 probability and we hit it just right. Haha.
Well, environment and distance can't keep friends away. If you are sincere enough, you'll always keep in touch. Heh. I guess thats just me. Always loyal to people, especially friends. Always like to keep in touch with friends. Though at times, I wonder if they are just as enthusiastic as me in keeping in touch. There are friends that have lost touch, and I do miss them. Didn't really take up the phone to call and ask if they are doing fine, who uses the house phone nowadays? haha.. at least not me. I've found an even better way to keep in touch.. Yes.. through online means.. Haha. Provided they are online when I am. I'm online most of the time everyday anyway. Haha..
Oh. She was working night-shift and was taking a nap and she actually overslept. Supposed to meet at 615pm. She called and said that she just got up at 6pm and asked if I wanna wait for her, or meet another day. Well, the rest of my week have already been fixed with appt. And I won't be able to meet her other days. So I volunteered to go over her place, and meet at the coffeeshop just opposite her block. Haha. Thats where I suggested meeting in the first place. But she wanted to make it convenient for me and wanted to meet at AMK centre. Haha.. well.. we were back to square one. Haha. :)
It was a nice meeting of catching up we had. Even though we don't really meet up that often. Probably once in 2 years or so.. haha.. we know that each has a special place in our heart. And we both think highly of each other. Hah. :D
There's this trust within us that I guess no one can probably ever try to distort and I'm glad that she's still ever so open to me. When it comes to anything, as long as I ask, she'll tell me. Heh. Its really so nice. :)
We parted at about 8pm. She gotta go back to prepare and I gotta go home for dinner. Was a little hungry by then. Heh.
Watched the last 2nd episode of Hai You Ming Tian 2 and its really sad to see people suffering like that. Sigh... :~(
And here I am again. Gotta go off soon. Need to have an early rest. Tomorrow having Church Without Walls seminar part II. And this is soooo exciting!! Hehehe :)
Oh ya.. last Sunday was soooooo real powerful in service. Great!!! I've never felt such strong presence of God, and boy, so many people were weeping when the countries of Asia was listed out and the various representatives walked out with the countries' flags. We are really gonna take the nations for Jesus and we have to all rise up for a better cause. Great weekend. First time I wept twice in a service. Phew... :~(
And we had a gathering of a few people from Israel last night. Only 5 of us initially. Lishan joined us at about 1010pm and Lizhen came at about 1030pm from their meeting. Heh. Good gathering. Had a good time exchanging photos and sharing. Just that we didnt have enough time I think. Hee.. next one would be even better! :D
Okie.. time to go off..and do more important things! Praise God! :D

And I'll have abundunce in excess... for my God shall supply all my needs! :D Amen!

Then had some shopping at
Cold Storage and then took a bus back home.
Start to do the DISC Questionaire that I volunteered to do for Shanice. And did it in almost an hour or less. Haha.. so proud of myself. The thing looked so nice!! Hee.. so happy with my finished product. There's really a sense of satisfaction. When you set out to do something, do it with all your heart. And when its completed, your heart will feel good as well! Heee.. happy happy.. :D
I wondered what I had been doing since I finished the questionaire till now. Itsa already 11:43pm. And that means it has been 2 hours since I finished that. Mmmm.. can't remember what I did.
Oh.. Mum made Avocado Juice!! Yum Yum! Little short of Pondok Gurame's standard.. but..still nice.. hehehe.. dun have to drink that only there now. Can have it at home anytime!! Yaaay!! :D
Ok.. gonna play solitaire showdown with Sayang now... ciaoz!!

Congratulations! Your score is in the 96th percentile. This means that if one hundred people took the test with you, your score would rank higher than 95 of them on average.
When we analyzed your test, we also discovered that when it comes to visual-spatial ability, you measure in the 100th percentile. This score indicates you have unusually strong abilities when it comes to spotting patterns in the world around you. You're easily able to envision things spatially in different positions, and this allows you to determine what spatial patterns are present. Compared with you, most others lack the creative ability and/or skill to imagine the movement of objects or patterns in time and space.
Hehe.. nothin better to do... on a saturday afternoon just back from appt.. keke.. good one.. :)

Good.. time to sleep... tomorrow another working day! :D

Didn't realise that I haven't been blogging for the past 2 days..
This shows how busy I was. Mmm...
Had "Church without Walls" Seminar last night. It was real great and awesome! :D
Its not that difficult really! Heh.
Well.. finally got my Israel's digital pictures uploaded with title and arranged the way it was taken. Phew.. took my 2 days.. and I'm still stuck with my manual ones. Not this week. Guess I'm really busy and lotsa things to do. Gotta wait. Prioritize! :p
I've finished only 2 out of the 7 albums.. and I dunno when I'll finish all 7.. MMm..
Tired now. Brain dead as well.
Gotta catch some sleep. And I must get up early tomorrow so that I can go office earlier. Been in office rather late recently. Cannot like that! Need to really buck up!
Oh! And closed Peiwen's case earlier. Heh. Best friend. Thats what friends are for.. hahaha.. no lah. She knows the importance and she was the one who came to talk to me about it. Keke.. good good. Hopefully I'll have enough money to pay for my own insurance premiums by end of this month. Else... I dunno how I'm gonna find $2088!!! Urgh.. Money money money!!! :/

Mmm.. got up a little late today. So, its cab again! Argh..this can't go on or I'll be broke in no time! Gosh. I can't remember how much is it. $13plus I think. MMmm.. I must be still sleeping this morning. How come I just can't remember the cab fare amount? :/
Reached office at almost a few minutes past nine. Meeting hasn't started. Phew. Settled down and it was just nice. Everything was going quite well, till somewhere around 11am. My eye lids got heavy and I had problems keeping them open. Hence, I succumb to the weakness and before I knew it, my head was thronging downwards. Haha.. Nice of Antonio to not say anything and he paused a few times and I tried to look up.. Hee.. :p
Managed to find some sweets in my document's compartment and then pop them in, so as to keep myself awake!! Haha.. comical... So, it ended about 11:30am and then went off for lunch. The rest all went to Foodcourt. Liyun (the new girl that just joined us) don't mind walking to the back (where the nice fish soup is..) and we went there for lunch and SL joined us later.
It was about 1pm when we went back office. Made some calls. Pathetic. Most were out having lunch still. Bad time to call. And then met up with Pauline at CBTL. She came from home to catch up. So nice of her to come to my office to chit chat with me. Heh. Showed her my Israel photos as well. :)
Had a nice chat. And then she went home at about 5pm. Then I went back to office, talked to SL a bit, and then left for Tampines to meet Quan. He needed some help with his AIA policies and I was just trying to do my best and hopefully help another soul understand what he had took up years ago. Haha..
Had dinner at Kenny Rogers. Haha, ironic. Usually I'll meet Pauline there. We didn't go there this time and I went there with Quan today instead. Haha. He was the one that suggested the place. :)
We both just had the sides. I had
Cheese Macaroni and Potato Salad and the not-to-forget muffin and an Iced Tea. Quan had 3 sides and a Iced Tea.
We met at about 6:30pm and we chatted till about 9:30pm.
Thank God for 969. And I was home about 10:20pm. Hee.. straight bus home from tampines. Don't even have to change another feeder bus or what.. hee.. nice..
Bathed and saw that Mum cooked today. So ate some rice with preserved turnips, fishcake and soup.
And here I am, online. Wanted to edit the photos. But its kindda late. And I'm tired. Tomorrow's gonne be a long day. Having Seminar in Church tomorrow. Topic's on
"Church without Walls". Guess its gonna be great. I can't wait for tomorrow to come.. SOoo exciting......
Gonna spend some time getting myself prepared first.. Hallelujah! :D

You are an SEDL--Sober Emotional Destructive Leader. This makes you a dictator. You prefer to control situations, and lack of control makes you physically sick. You feel have responsibility for everyone's welfare, and that you will be blamed when things go wrong. Things do go wrong, and you take it harder than you should.
You rely on the validation and support of others, but you have a secret distrust for people and distaste for their habits and weaknesses that make you keep your distance from them. This makes you very difficult to be with romantically. Still, a level-headed peacemaker can keep you balanced.
Despite your fierce temper and general hot-bloodedness, you have a soft spot for animals and a surprising passion for the arts. Sometimes you would almost rather live by your wits in the wilderness somewhere, if you could bring your books and your sketchbook.
You also have a strange, undeniable sexiness to you. You may go insane.
Haha.. had the same analysis as Feli.. But I dun think this really refers to me... or suits me.. i definitely don't like animals.. and no passion for the arts!! Haha..maybe only the first paragraph is true.. hahaha...

Its just so different when you go church with a heart of expectancy and hunger.
The message today was so strong and clear to me. My primary existence is to be a soul winner and Church is not just about having the best music, speaker or Bible studies.
City Harvest Church is built on 2 major and critical points.
1. Loving God wholeheartedly
2. Loving People fervently
Without which, the church can do nothing to please God. And the church will not grow.
I'm glad we have a Pastor who can hear clearly and directly from God, and I'm proud to be part of the vision that God has implanted in CHC. :D Hallelujah! :D
The day ended quite late, at about 4pm. Took a cab back with Emily and went to Popular.
Ah hong and cousin and Godma came for dinner. We ate at
Bei Sheng Restaurant, next to my block. Heh. Nice and cheap food. 6 people. $56.30. He charged only $53. Hee.. like them for who they are. Always giving good discounts to customers. Thats what you call customer service. And their food is already cheap. Heh. :p
Came back, Godma & cousins left at about 7pm. I bathed and was online uploading the photos of Israel and scanning the manual ones that I took. Just done. Soooo long and I'm soo tired.. Sigh... No time to do the captions today. I just re-named all the photos in my folder and I thought it'll be automatically used as the title for the photo. But looks like.. NO.. its not automatic. U need to name all of it yourself!! Urgh.. cannot make it... Gotta do QT and sleep first.. this'll take some time.. I'd better have enough rest for tomorrow's meeting, else I'm gonna fall asleep again!! :/
Praise God for today, and expect great things for tomorrow!! :D
Hallelujah! :)

Yeap. Didn't blog for a day. Was at Overnight Prayer Meeting last night. Stayed till 5am. Cool! There was an awesome presence of God towards the end when Pastor Tan started to pray for certain groups of people. And the Joy of the Lord was everywhere. :D
Indeed, its good to spend time dwelling in God's presence as often as we can. Mmm.. Seems like its likely only when there's external forces pushing me to do it.
Otherwise, most of the times would be spent facing this 15" flat screen and wasting time away, chatting, playing games and I'm not too sure what kept me here for so long and I can sit here the whole day without moving an inch, except to the loo.. :|
I'd want to be a partaker of what the church is doing and moving into, its so satisfying when the members of the church gather together with a same objective and being united as one to pray together for the upcoming missions trip, missions plans and also for the church.
Session #1 was from 11:50pm - 1:20am
Session #2 was from 1:50am - 3:15am
Session #3 was from 3:45am - 5:15am
Not much praying and crying out was done in session #3. We were mostly worshipping and dwelling in the presence of God. Many people were already tired physically but its never tiring to be in the presence of God. Its time of refreshing, renewing and igniting!
I didn't even move during the 2nd break. Too tired and lazy to move out. Simply stayed at my seat, and closed my eyes. The moment Praise & Worship starts, everyone who were taking a shut-eye could been seen to be exciting and giving their utmost Praise to our Most High! It was really good. Amazing! :D
When the meeting ended, I took the church bus with Bro Jon to AMK, and from there, we shared a cab back home. $7.20. The meter jumped to $7.30 as I was passing the money to the driver, I didn't attempt to take out another 10cents, which I usually does, and the uncle will usually say "its okie. nevermind." and the uncle didn't ask for it also. Haha. So be it. $7.20.
Oh yah. I was awoken up by Ms Gay's phonecall yesterday morning. She called and said that she can meet me. We were supposed to meet at 10am at Bedok South. She didn't confirm with me and said that she'll call me. And she didn't reply my sms. So I thought I can sleep a little later.
So, she wanted to meet. We arranged to meet at 10:30am. I bathed, changed and took a cab from Yishun to Bedok South. Gosh!! I think I haven't paid for such an expensive cab ride for a long long time. $16.40. I didn't realise that Bedok is sooooooooo far from Yishun. Or rather, the driver took the long way. TPE all the way.. and it was real far..... I almost fainted. Talked to her for 45 minutes and back to office.
Another day in the office. Alright lah. Nothing much I guess... Yup...
So, back to today. I reached home at about 6:20am and Dad was leaving for work liaoz.. (Ops!) hee.. we didn't talked or spoke. I just walked in the main door, which is already open, put down my bag, grab some change of clothes, showered and flat on the bed.
Got up at about 12plus. Can't remember exactly when though. Some distractions in between after day break. Ms Foo
dua me again. Sms-ed to say that she can't meet me. Didn't say the reason. Just say cannot meet me today, and will call me again. I've seen this sms many times. Haha.. Oh well, I guess I shall really leave her as it is, and call her after her wedding. Which is September I think. So, leave her alone for now. :/
Good then. I don't have to get our of the house unnecessarily and can rest. Or rather, face more of the screen. Haha.
Ivy sent me a
typing game. Quite fun. Haha. And Sayang taught me another game on MSN. Solitaire Showhand. Mmm.. more exciting. At least you don't have to think so much.. just have to be fast and vigilant. Hee.. Cool.. :)
Just back from dinner. Wanted to go ah ma house. But Mum don't really feel like going. And I'm also a little lazy. So, just face the screen again! Haha. Actually, there are many better things to do. I think the screen has got a stronghold on me. Mmmm... :/

YOU ARE A THINKER
Thinkers place a high value on logic, ideas and
systematic inquiry. They find satisfaction in identifying problems, developing a variety of possible solutions, weighing them carefully and testing them to see to it that the most logical, systematic approach is followed. They are typically steady, tenacious functioners, relying on observations and rational principles. They avoid emotionalism and speculation, often conveying skepticism toward novel departures from past proven results.
Thinkers frequently hold decisions until they can review situations carefully and consider all possible alternatives. They are seen as logical, results-getters and are often valued for their prudence and thoughtful analysis skills. They are sought out for their objectivity and cool thinking under pressure and are often seen as consistent forces for progress. They can b highly effective in organizing themselves and others to research and plan.
Thinkers can be seen by others as overly cautious or conservative, deliberating instead of acting. Sometimes perceived as indecisive, they can be considered rigid, dogmatic, and/or stumbling blocks to action that represent a departure from tradition. They are not ususally considered good at mobilizing others' enthusiasm, and can be accused of being "cold" or "dry."

"At work or in school: I like set routines and organized ways of doing thingsl rules and directions are a great help to me. I prefer to stay on one topic at a time.

With friends: I prefer people who are careful with their money and who make plans ahead of time. I like my friends to be loyal, dependable and on time. I am serious about love and show it in many practical ways.

You are a
MASTER of the English language!
While your English is not exactly perfect,
you are still more grammatically correct than
just about every American. Still, there is
always room for improvement...
How grammatically sound are you? brought to you by Quizilla

Yeah yeah.. what a surprise? Its just some card that you can apply for and with every $20 purchase, you get 2 Pop points. What for? Sigh..
But its okie. I came back and opened the letter box earlier and guess what?? I got the NKF Discount Vouchers!! Heh. I made 15 calls. Yes. And I dunno who told me that you need 5 calls to get a copy of the voucher. In order not to make any odd number calls, I made 15, thinking that I'd get 3 booklets. Guess what? I received 5. Meaning to say, every 3 calls entitles you to 1 booklet. Nevermind. Its for a good cause anyway. :|
So, now I got my reward. 5 booklets which contained $550 worth of vouchers which most probably, I'll only use the Popular one, which expires 31 July 2004 and I'll make sure I'll make my first round of stationery shopping tomorrow first. And then slowly take my time to see what else I have to get. Urgh! :/
Alright. 5% more better than nothing. The sales assistant's attitude earlier on also not too good. Not too happy about it. :/ But its ok. I forgive them. haha..
Met Emily for dinner. And we ordered the 4 Extra Value Meal set. 20pcs of McNuggets free. Haha.. Yes. There were only 2 of us. Of coz we didn't finish all that on our own. Will burst my stomach. I packed one back for Mum, and she packed the rest for her siblings and children back home. Yeah.. Of coz we told the counter beforehand that we want to collect the rest later. And it'll still be piping hot!! :)
Continued my read with Just like Jesus.. and I'm more than half done, slightly about 2/3 of the book done. Heh. Mmm.. maybe can finish by next Monday. Tomorrow's travelling time not enough to cover leh.. Good book. Found out why its called
face the music... Know the origin of this .. what do you call this?? Mmmm.. statement? analogy?? nono.. Mmm.. forget it...
Gotta go now.. spent some time... and ZZZZZzzzzzzzz....
Tomorrow's cell group and overnight prayer meeting!! Exciting!! :D
