Dad again...
Its 3:40am.
Just reached home an hour ago... just finished sending out mails...
And about to go sleep le...
Reached home so late.. coz.. Dad got admitted to SGH.
While i was having debrief with my CGL... mum called..
She said dad is not feeling too well and they're on their way to SGH.
Told her i'll make my way down.

Just minutes before.. EG just asked if we going for supper. I said yeah...
But well.. family comes first.. i cant possibly leave my dad and go for supper... though i was really hungry... yah..
Anyway... Thanks to 姐 for giving me a lift..
Thanks Nat for accompanying me.. and thanks YQ for making the way down to send us back..
Really appreciate that... :)

Now's the season.. devil is really not happy with whatever is going on.. Mum's going SOT..
A&B is ending and the stupid devil is trying to make things happen.
Every stumbling block is a stepping stone and God can turn all things around for good to those who love Him... And YES! I love Him!!

Mmmm... was so blessed today too...
Had a free haircut and styling!! Wooo hoo!! :D
It would have costed $300 normally.. Praise God..
Thank God...thank Vi.. *muacks* :D

Leadership files - Self-Image

Roget's Thesaurus - Image - projection, hologram, silhouette, reflection, reproduction, engraving, true-to-life, embodiment.

Your self-image is the likeness of God.

You are not God or a god, but His image is stamped in you.

The me I see is the me I'll be.

You have the mind of Christ.

You have the nature of the Holy Spirit.

You are complete in Him. The fullness of the Godhead is in you.

If you see yourself through the eyes of others you will generally be defeated.

God tells Gideon, 'You mighty man of valour.'

Jesus tells Peter, 'Upon you I'll build my church.'

He tells you, 'Fear not for I am with you.'

You are a new species of being!

You are forgiven, righteous and holy in His sight!

You are strong, successful and prosperous!

______________________________

Indeed I am!! Amen!! :D

W352 Dinner Fellowship
Add-on:
Ooh.. Did i mention where we went for fellowship?
At Settler's Cafe at North Canal Road... Mmm...
The ambience if any wasnt that fantastic.. I think its really just about having fun together, and fellowshipping.. The food aint fantastic too.. hahaha....

Thursday is Ladies Nite.. so Ladies, just have to pay $6+ for a drink.. (it was Rootbeer or Green tea free flow for last nite...)
And pay just $5+ for a main course... where we can choose from a limited choice... There were about 6-7choices like Chicken cutlet... Fish & Chips...Jumbo Hotdogs... Black Pepper Beef/chicken.. Vegetarian Spaghetti....something like that...
Guys will have to pay $9+ for a drink.. and then 10% discount for main course... (which ranges $6-9)

All the ladies spent $12.10. Guys $16.70...
Ladies nite is from 7pm - 11pm.. So meaning to say... you can stay there from 7pm...and play till they close shop.. which is 11pm..

I would suggest.. we go somewhere have a good meal.. or cheap meal... there're coffeshops ard... and then go there pay $6 just to play game.. so as to save time.. hahhaha.. coz the food... not that fantastic la... but $5 for fish & Chips is not bad la.. portion might be a little small for guys.. heheh...
Only Thursdays Ladies nite hor....

Website nothing much too... u can check it out here.. :)

But there are really many board games and card games to choose from.. but we took an hour to finish one game.. hahaha.. it was kindda fun... we all had fun anyway.. i think.. :P

Woooh... After a long while..
It does feels nice to be fellowshipping with CG mates after a long while..
Hahhaa... suddenly i miss those times we sit at Foyer 3 doing nothing.. eating and chatting...
Those are days...where I can relax and think of nothing else... hahaha..
Now... I can't really do that.... so much to do.. and so little time....
Sigh.. especially.. when you get people.. who dont respond.....
Just sent a long email... ROOoAAArrrr........
I hope it does trigger off some positive response...
Sigh sigh sigh.....

So many things to forecast for this week....
Things might have been better if.......
But.. no ifs.. its this way...so let's just hope that it'll turn out better..
Mmmmm... learn to let go.. and let God..
Trusting Him to see all things come to past... :)

Some pics for you... :)



Mmmm... on another note... my client sms-ed this morning and referred me her colleague..
Sooo nice rite?? hehehe.. Thank God for sending people my way.. PTL! :D
Called her.. and yeap... I'll be meeting her tmr.. Fast yeah?
Strike while the iron is hot!! :D

Yeah.. cool cool... more deals coming my way... Yay!!!!

Leadership files - Wisdom

Leaders are called to be wise.

Read the Book of Proverbs all the time.

God 'alone' is wise.

We are not wise without Him or His Book.

We ask Him for wisdom.

We seek for wisdom in the pages of Scripture.

When we don't know what to do we ask God.

'Give me wisdom Lord. Show me what to do.'

Wisdom knows what to do, when to do it and how to do it.

Wisdom behaves right in life. It understands appropriateness.

Be wise, very wise. Wisdom wins.

Pain Relieved....
Woah...
after being in pain for the whole nite.. finally for once... I dont feel those pricking kind of pain.. :/

Went to the dentist... went in... he took ONE look at my teeth and concluded:
Dentist: This kind, you only have to extract it out. That's the only way.
.............................................
He stood there.. waiting for a response from me....
Looks like I dont have any choice either.
Pull it out..or bear with the pain..and for my mouth to rot.....

Me: Is it going to be very painful?
D: No..
Me: Is there any side effects?? Swollen?? Anything??
D: No..
Me: How much?
D: $45
Me: How long will it take?
D: 10min...

*silence*

Me: ok loh....
Out goes mum to wait for me outside... and there i was... panic all over my face.....
Fear crept in... lost... wonder... everything you can imagine...
I closed my eyes.... prayed a prayer...
God..may your peace come over me right now... and let it be a painless thing...
I prayed...prayed.. prayed..
D: Open your mouth....
Me: Aaaaa......
Some anaesthetic was injected into my tooth...
D: Rinse your mouth..
Me: *rinse rinse*
*wait.......... while he prepares his "tools"....

D:Okie.. 6 hours it should be fine... Bite on the cotton for 1 hour. After that if no more bleeding, then you can just remove it...else..change a new cotton. If its painful... take the painkiller.. else... its fine. The wound would take about a week to heal... and your ulcer also about a week...
Me:.... God.. let it be just 3 days... I dont need a week to heal...

D: okie... I'll be using some force to pull it out...
You'll feel the pressure... just that no pain..
Me: uh huh....
*Pulling.. extracting... pulling.. struggling...*
Me: God.. faster... let it be done soon.. and not painful....
Just before I wonder how long more....
Dentist: Okie.. bite on it....
Me: *Bite..
D: Okay. done.. Here's ur tooth... pointing to my bloodytooth on the tray...
Amazed.. Woah.. thats fast... and that's a BIG tooth with the root!!

Out i go... paid my $45..and left.....

WOah....

Then I went reaching out with my mum... she reached out to her fren with her CG mate...
Aunties..so its just kopi @ Ya Kun and I sat there reading my "Heart Ablaze" by John Bevere.. :)
Nice book!! :D

After they were done... we went to Tamp IKEA.
Cool place.. walked around..shoped around... had Poached Salmon... Mum gave me her small piece of Fried Chicken that was in her Laksa...
Walked the 1st level... then to the cashier...
Then the not-to-be-missed HOTDOG at $1!!! Yum yum...
Had a hot dog... a drink.. for only $1.70!! Cool!! :)

Then while we were going back... my grandaunt called. She stays at Pasir Ris.. and was going to Yishun.. woah.. free ride home.. hehe.. yeah..

So.. was on the car.... they were talking.. and something she said struck me...

Grandaunt: Woah.. you very eh sai hor?
Me: Huh??
Grandaunt: You extract tooth still can shop like that??
Me: Blur.....

There and then... i really thanked God..
Was I supposed to be half-dead? Dizzy??? Or whatever??
I dunno leh.. never extract tooth this big before... haha...
And... was i supposed to rest???
Ehh... it never occured to me also le...
I only know i was bleeding quite a fair bit initially...
but after i started eating.. i was fine le... Eerrr...

Really.. God's grace and protection!! :D
Praise the Lord..that I dont have to suffer violence and extremes.. ahaha..
For now.. I do feel a little dizzy.. perhaps.. i do need a rest.. and i can feel the impact of the dentist pulling hard at my tooth... errr.. bleah..
It doesnt feel good.. a bit funny... like my whole teeth falling out.. hahaha.. Mmm..

Someone also commented that... he's amazed with what I did and the nothing much i felt..
Err... Am i blessed or what?? heheheh.. :)

Well.. shall have an early nite... :)

Willpower - It's all in the mind...
/edited.
Visit www.willpower.com.sg for more on Dr. William Tan.. :)

Haiyoh... some technical faults... forgot what i wanted to write already...
Duhz... This post was supposed to be completed last nite.. but PC auto-restart...
And i went to sleep le... hahaha..

Mmmm....
Yeah.. attended my company's Annual Flying Start 2007 event yesterday. It was cool!! :D
Had a fantastic emcee.. nice food... yah... for once.. hehe...

Had an awesome speaker. Dr William Tan.
He had polio at the age of 2.. and was a kindergarten dropout.
But he went on to Selegie Primary School and then to RI.. then to many more PhDs...
He's a 1st Class Honors Student in Harvard and Oxford University.
And he's now a scientist and Medical Doctor.
Can you believe it?
Recently, Dr William Completed 7 Marathons in 7 Continents in less than 70 days...
Current record is by someone.. (forgot his name) in 99 days... cool eh???
He just came back from Antartica as well... doing a marathon there... Amazed...
If someone with such disability is able to accomplish much, what about us?
People who are able-bodied. What are we doing with our lives?


I guess, its usually pressure, immense pressure that compels us to do greater things.
Pressure from the world, from people who despises us, the strong urge from within to prove ourselves worthy, to prove and show that we are able to accomplish much...that will eventually push us to FOCUS and with determination, accomplish what no one seemed possible.

The theme for yesterday was ONE. One Prudential, One Force.
IMPOSSIBLE is again spelt I M POSSIBLE.
Nothing is Impossible... I am Possible!
I can make things happen.. if I focus..and with determination.

Next StarClub incentive --> PARIS!!!
I want to go!!! And that shall be my goal!!!
Paris.. here i come!!!!
Missed this year's Capetown.. urgh.. no one to blame except myself...
But PARIS... not to be missed... C'mon!!!

Press on and put in the effort!!!!!

1st RIC Meeting repeat...
Yeah... Had my 1st RIC meeting.. with a new batch of RIC...
Mmmm.. somehow..it felt different... not that the people...
but..somehow... Mmm.. yeah.... well.... people come and people go...
Raised up some.. and send away some....
Ehh.. not some leh.... 4 RICs.. all changed.... :'(

Something similar to note:
1 person was absent from the meeting.. Like my 1st Meeting with my previous RICs...
Hahha.. and its a she.. hahaha...

But this time... its 4 people... plus me...
The last time.. it was 3 people... plus me....
Yah... Mmmm...
It was a rather okay meeting.. Told them what to do..what to expect..

I guess the difference lies in that.. most of the current RIC have done Recruitment before..and have a rough idea of how it's gonna be like... not like my Pioneer batch...
Wow... Pioneer batch of RIC...
Let's give them some tribute here..
Team A - John Saw
Team B - Jingxuan
Team C - Terence
Team D - Sabrina
Hey.. arent u all honored??? hehehe...

So now i have my 2nd batch of RICs... woo hoo....
Zai RICs in the making.. I hope those who have left or transferred will make full use of what they've learnt.. and put it to good use... and not feel like.. 脱离苦海...... :/
Yah.. quoted from someone who said that to me... hours ago.. let the person confess on his/her own... bleah...

Yup... the RIC meeting was held.. at usual Chicken Rice stall.. coz its a Wednesday.. Usual routine.. cannot live without it.. ahhaa... Here's a pic...
Can you believe it?? We only took ONE picture.. bwahahaha.. no van=no pic... hahahah..

And I'll be satisfied....

Yeah... I dun need to eat good stuffs all the time...
I can be just simple... :)

This is what I had for brunch today.. :)
I simply love it! :D

No reply...
What's with people nowadays?
Seems like everyone dun like to reply...
And everyone is keeping their sms-es...
For who? I wonder....

If they just dont reply all the people... then who are the honored ones?
Sigh.. I have 1500 sms-es to optimise.. and I still do not have enough..
Sometimes, I also do selective replying.. and sometimes.. some sms-es just dont require a reply.. or at least necessary... that's what people nowadays say...

Just imagine.. when we first started out with hp... people even have time to send good morning and good nite smses.. those cute little bears.. haha.. no longer receives them now..
Everyone is busy... so many things to do..so many sms-es to send..
Where got extra sms to send you good nite???
Duhz....
Maybe.. from bfs to gfs.. and vice versa...

I guess.. people only reply to important people..
People that matters to them..
People that have authority over them..
People whom they respect...

Everyone has a list of different important people...
Next time you don't receive a reply.. ask...
Am I important to him/her??

Hahhaa.. maybe... well...

That's what i derive la.. from... everyone that's telling me..that... so and so didnt reply...
We can sent out 10 sms... and only 1-2 reply back...

MMmm...suddenly tot of the verse that Jesus said...
He sent the 10 lepers away to be cleansed... but only 1 returned to give thanks..
Jesus said.." Did I not send away 10? Where are the rest of the 9??"

Yah... I guess.. its a matter of respect...
Or maybe I'm wrong... I'm just demanding too much... oh well....

Leadership files - Attitudes

Our success depends upon whether our attitude is positive or negative, sour or sweet, good or bad.

All of life flows from attitude.

An 'up' attitude equals an 'up' life.

Down attitude, down life.

Negative attitudes form a poor platform for action.

We change our attitudes from;

Fear to Faith 'I believe God', - Say it!
Anxiety to Trust 'I trust God', - Say it!
Anger to Peace 'I forgive them' - Say it!
Hatred to Love 'I will love them' - Say it!

Leadership files - People

Whatever you are doing, remember you're doing it in a people world.

You're not building a great organisation, company or church - you're building a great people.

People will build whatever you are building; if you build them.

Win people all the time.

Especially the volunteers for their wages are recognition, appreciation and honor.

Don't neglect to pay everyone his or her due.

Recognise, appreciate, thank, encourage and honour everyone.

Building people is your business!

The best chef can only do so much with a lump of meat.

Whether you'll come back is up to the people who serve you.

Clients will even put up with mistakes if the people part blesses them.

Contact, communicate and connect. Win people!

Mind Prober 3.0

Your Brain Usage Profile:

Auditory : 33%
Visual : 66%
Left : 52%
Right : 47%


Rachel, you exhibit an even balance between left- and right- hemisphere dominance and a slight preference for visual over auditory processing. With a score this balanced, it is likely that you would have slightly different results each time you complete this self-assessment quiz.

You are a well-rounded person, distinctly individualistic and artistic, an active and multidimensional learner. At the same time, you are logical and disciplined, can operate well within an organization, and are sensitive towards others without losing objectivity. You are organized and goal-directed. Although a "thinking" individual, you "take in" entire situations readily and can act on intuition.

You sometimes tend to vacillate in your learning styles. Learning might take you longer than someone of equal intellect, but you will tend to be more thorough and retain the material longer than those other individuals. You will alternate between logic and impulse. This vacillation will not normally be intentional or deliberate, so you may experience anxiety in situations where you are not certain which aspect of yourself will be called on.

With a slight preference for visual processing, you tend to be encompassing in your perceptions, process along multidimensional paths and be active in your attacking of situations or learning.

Overall, you should feel content with your life and yourself. You are, perhaps, a little too critical of yourself -- and of others -- while maintaining an "openness" which tempers that tendency. Indecisiveness is a problem and your creativity may not be in keeping with your potential. Being a pragmatist, you downplay this aspect of yourself and focus on the more immediate, obvious and the more functional.

被爱是幸福的???
If you can find...
Someone who accepts u the way you are..
Someone who treasures u..
Someone u can talk to...
Someone u can share your life with..
Someone u can submit to..
Someone u can have authority over...
Someone u can listen to...
Someone who listens to u...
And that person also loves you...

Then you are living in bliss!!!

God, where's mine???

女人被爱是幸福的....
女人爱一个不爱你的人是痛苦的...
女人被一个你不爱的人爱也是痛苦的...

Sigh. and ever since it was on the news that this 7-eleven is so 旺, the queue has never got shorter.. and I'm truly amazed and amused at the people who would really take time off to queue. Should I feel guilty or ashamed that though I stay so near, I've never attempted to queue?? Hahaha.. no.. i dun buy 4D de... haha.. I dun think my parents are that crazy to queue too.. hahaa.. But.. oh well.. truly speaks of a true blue Singaporean...

The Leadership Files - Criticism

One of the most difficult challenges for a leader is the inevitable criticism from being out front.

The more successful you become the greater the criticism will be.

People clothe jealousy, prejudice and envy with legitimate sounding criticisms.

Henry Louis Mencken said 'criticism is prejudice made plausible.'

If you care too much what others think, you will be hurt.

Care less what others think.

You cannot make everyone happy.

Stay true to your course.

Nothing of worth is achieved without opposition.

Winston Churchill declared;

'Opposition is the natural environment of effective leaders. Resisting extreme reaction to criticism is the key to steadiness at the helm. One of the deciding marks of a great leader is the way he handles criticism. Criticism is easy, achievement is difficult.'

Mmmmmmmm... how true... sad but true...

Pressing on.. to my calling...
