Does my title sounds familiar?? Yeah...
Was the movie some time back... 4 Weddings and a Funeral?
No.. I'm not referring the Building Fund to Funeral.. but its the thought of 4 weddings that drives me crazy... =X

3rd Nov - Primary Sch Classmate
4th Nov - SOT Team Leader
26th Nov - Primary Sch Classmate (and i'm the only one in the class invited..and I'm going to be her Mandarin Emcee?????!!!!!!!!??????!!!!!!!!!!)

14th Dec - Primary Sch Classmate again!!!!!!!

Arghh.. this is driving me crazy!! Oh man... 3 of my Primary school classmates are getting married in 2 months... they all know one another loh... but..they all not as close..as I am to each and individually of them.. haha.. Mmmm....
Reminds me ... Seems like I'm the glue to sticking people together...
Haha.. I'm not the best.. neither am I perfect.. but... whenever I'm around... people does get closer.. be it to me or not to me.... but they'll all remember me!!
Hmmm... just like... 35 of my classmates knows who i am.. but they may not know who the rest are..and can come asking me... "who is XXX ah??"
Not once.. but all the time.. they come asking me.. those who never make it to Outings la... hahaha.. Mmmm....

I think... i can be outing Queen le... ahhahahha...wherever I go....I get people to go out.. Mmmm.... i like to bring people together...that's when a sense of belonging comes about... People only like to be with people they know and are comfortable with.. rite??

Until we know someone, how would we know if we are really comfortable with him/her???
How then would we know... if we like to hang out with him/her?
How then would we know..the person is actually that fun to be with???
It takes both hands to clap.. 一巴掌是拍不响的...
One person can only do so much.. if the other person is not willing to make effort to make it work.. it will never work.....

Oh... how did I get so emotional here...??? Hmmm...

4 Weddings + 1 Building Fund = $400 + $XXXXX!!!!
Haizz............................. how?? God???

If anyone feels led to give...I'm always glad to receive... drop me an sms.. and I'll give you my account number.. any banks are welcomed!! hahaa... Cash deposit accepted by POSB... UOB.. no need to be account holder also can just deposit in cash one.. hehe... :D

Yah.... we'll see..what my harvest will be!!! Amen.... :D

Many things in my mind now.. so many different areas I'm thinking about....
What to blog about? haha...

Mm.. let's see...

Rising up and doing more? What does other people's looks and stare means??
When someone is able to something that another person who's supposed to be more qualified does not get to do, why is that kind of look/stare given?
Sometimes, its difficult not to be affected by what other people think..
But, we just have got to ignore and do what we're supposed to do and not be bothered by others. Being a sensitive person, that is so hard.
How to be indifferent??? Mmmm....

Why do people serve?
Out of convenience? Only when they feel like it?
How can I make a difference in their lives? How can they be motivated to serve?
How can i make them committed? What changed me? Why did I shift all my energy to where it is now? What made the difference?
I guess.. its responsibility. As our responsibility increases, human being likes the feeling of satisfaction and being important.
When we are given a task to complete, I guess we'll put in all our energy to make it happen and when we are praised or complimented, our sense of belonging goes up.. Am i right??
Maybe, it can happen if I give them more things to do.. and let them know that their presence makes a difference. We're not serving God just for the sake of serving, nor are we doing it to impress anyone. But, when we are faithful in the little things that are given, God'll bring us up to another level where we can put to use what we've learnt and increase our capacity to do even more for His Glory! Amen!

I want to be a blesser!
It's been a long long long time.... since I was able to bless... sigh...
God... I don't want to be living so miserably... it's really so miserable...when there's so much things that I want to do...I want to buy.. I want to bless.... but I can't. 3 meals a day is already something..that is really stretching.. sigh... I'm trying my best... and I need to work harder.. Or rather.. I need to start working!
AAAhhhh..where's my energy?? where's my drive?? I'm not like that!!!

God!!! Help me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need the sales!!!! I need to see more people!! I need to meet more prospects!! ARrrgghhh....

Arise & Build is coming...
The amount is humongous....and where's it coming from??
God... I really can see nothing at this point in time... Nothing...
I really have no idea....
Last year, there was logic and savings to make it happen.
This year, savings gone.. and everything seems illogical...
Thats where my trust and faith... IN GOD.... is going to happen..
God... Father... whatever faith I have.. I ask that You'll give me the eyes to see..
What you have prepared for me ahead...and I know...when i reach the peak of the mountain, I can have a clearer view of what is happening...
God, give me the strength to carry on climbing..and to reach my peak soon....

All that I have.. I give to You... All that I am.. I belong to You.....

The Five Love Languages

My primary love languages are probably
Quality Time and Receiving Gifts.

Complete set of results

Quality Time:		8
Receiving Gifts:		8
Acts of Service:		7
Words of Affirmation:		4
Physical Touch:		3

Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Take the quiz

So, it was like 40cents for 20 laps..where we used to have only 8 laps lor.. :/ haha... But it's good.
Had very good khakis and players too. Haha... We all had fun i guess. Had some dessert at Mac'D before we went on our separate ways.. hehe.. :p Cool!

We don't have Sunday everyday, so...thats the best we can expect. Thank God for all things that happened. For to everything, there's a good cause. And.. Romans 8:28 says.. All things work together for good to those who love God, and are called according to His purpose! Amen! :D

Went to Huiling's daughter's 1st birthday too! Soooo cute... been a long long while since I last saw her man.. aha.. Mmm.. cool....

I can't believe my ears...

How could that happen?? Hahaha....

Mmmm.... Pastor Kong spoke about... Arise & Build 2006 today.
It was a great message.. History of CHC was once again brought up..
How we grew from 20 people.. to 500 ... 800...3000... 5000... 10000...12000...14000...18000 and now.. more than 22000... Praise the Lord for growth! Amen! Hallelujah!! :D

Well... I've been thinking..since the day i was told that Arise & Build is coming... How can I give more to build our own church this time round?? Silly me...got myself into debts.. sigh.... unwise unwise... and now... tryung hard to clear them....

But i know.. that by the time A & B starts in Nov.. my debts should be cleared by then... Amen... I have a vision for it.. and I can see it coming.. Amen... :)

So... we were having a great time worshipping God... and... offering was at the end of service today.. gave a big offering... haven gave such an amount in a long while le... coz... really very very very tight... really thought hard.. when i put that amount into the offering envelope... but i was reminded of that piece of note... when i put in my hand to take the $$.. Mmmm.... God's ways are always higher than our ways.. and His thoughts higher than our thoughts.. His way.. will be the best way... :)

And after offering... service came to a close... and we were worshipping... with the song.."Make a Difference". Just as I was thinking about how much I gave previously, i was thinking how i can give more... or how can i give???
And.. an amount dropped into my head... i fainted.. i was like... God.... is this for real??? It wont be possible... unless Your hand is in it.... But... the figure was like.... rather solid one... and i really wonder... coz.... i've never thought of that amount la... Mmmm... and i was reflecting earlier..and i realised..that...
Since the 1st time I gave, it has been moving from glory to glory... from 3 digits to 4 digits to ....... if this one were to come through, it'll be a 5 digits... Mmmm... I'm amazed.. :p

God... Lead me through this season... when I'm weak.. You are strong!!! Amen!!
