Sleep's never enough..
Yah.. Seems like I've tried to sleep alot whenever I can..
But then.. seems like its still never enough... sianz.. :/
And just when I thought I can sleep in later tomorrow.. I just remembered that I gotta accompany Dad for his Laser on his eye tom.. Hope it's gonna be a quick 'operation'.
Brr... mum blames it on his stubbornness when he had his 1st eye operation donkey years ago, he didnt really rest his eye, continued to smoke, and wasted his time at the coffeeshop chit chatting with his friends.
Mum's conclusion is: No proper rest after operation will lead to multiple complications in future.
I guess its so true... MMm... :/
Gotta be at SGH by 845am!!
And what am I still here?? sigh...
Hair still wet.. no choice.. lazy to on the hair dryer le..

And yup.. I'll try to go sleep soon... I'm so tired.. Spent 3 hours talking to a client earlier...
But the good thing was, he treated me to a nice buffet dinner at Miramar Hotel!!
Hahahah.. he works there la... kekeke... :P
Btw, he's my long time friend cum CG member... so.. i dared to meet him there... else... u think i'll go to Hotel to meet a client?? NO WAY man!! Hahahha...

Yup... Feels so blessed... Haven't really been paying for meals past 2 days...
Yest's brunch at home... dinner at someone's house...
Today paid for brunch.$5 (Got cheated for a bowl of prawn noodles!! Bleah.. should have checked the price.. but it was a coffeeshop lo.. not even Kopitiam.. just normal, old coffeeshop somewhere along the street!! Grrr.. :|) .. dinner at Hotel Miramar!!

Tomorrow guess will have to pay for everything...including Dad's... or maybe we can go dutch??
MMmmm..... not enough money to last till 10th...
2 weddings killed me and sucked me dry... Grrr....

Next 3 coming up... KILL ME!!!
17th, 24th & 25th Nov...... God, I pray for MORE, MORE clients to come look for me...
So I can clear my DEBTS and give to You for the upcoming BF!!!
Well... I'm still giving to You even if I don't clear my debts... but it'll be better if I could clear them all SOOONN!!! :)
I wanna have more so that I can be a blessing to others!!!

Thank You Lord, for the blessings on the way!!
I'm waiting excitedly to receive them!! :)
Yeah!!! My God is a GOOD God!! :)

Real Friends?? True Friends??
Looking through my list of friends in Friendster, I can't help but wonder, how many of them are my true friends?
Who are the ones that stood by you in times of trouble and need, there to lend a helping hand?
There are some that I miss dearly.. those times that we spent together, sharing our lives, going through ups and downs.. friends that may be next to you, but no words need to be uttered to know what each other is thinking....

Some have changed, to what I do not wish to know.
Some have drew further..
Some have moved on to new phases in their lives..

And what has kept us apart?
There seems to be seasonal friends. Friends that appear in our lives for a particular season, and then we move on individually and progress on our own...
I treasure each and every friendship I have with all my good friends... How I wish I could spend time with everyone of them all the time. But guess life's cycle don't really allow me to do so..
Even when we get to catch up, it's just that few hours and it'll be time to go home...

I love my friends.. Not all of them are saved...
In fact, my closest ones aren't really saved.
God.. help me to reach out to them... give me opportunities to share with them your goodness.
Let my light so shine before my friends that they may see Your good works...

How i wish... I could go back in time.... to those days of carefree, worry-free life.
I'm burdened. I'm tired. I need a break.
I wish it could be reset to 0...

Doing

If you only do what you can do then you're only ever going to do what you can do!

But, if you start to do what you cannot do, you'll find you can do what you cannot do.

And what you absolutely cannot do, God will do, or a team of incredible poeple will, who are attracted to the person attempting to do what they cannot do.

Don't imagine God will ask you to do what you can do!

He asks you to do what you can't do.

Then you'll need Him to do it!

But you're the one who starts the impossible dream.

No-one, not even God, gets inpsired by the mediocre.

Attempt the impossible, ignore the critics, attract the best, accomplish the unbelievable!

__________________________________________

Yes! Attempt the impossible! For God will not give you tasks that is beyond your ability.
When He has given you something to do, He'll empower you to do it!
Do not for a moment doubt what is placed in your hands.
Rather, have faith in yourself, or at least, have faith in God to see you through it!

What challenge will there be or how can we grow if we are constantly asked to do things that is way within our capability and ability?
We won't be able to learn new things and rise up to the next level!
What we think we don't like to do, may turn out to be the opposite too.
You won't really really how well you like something, until you put in your heart and mind to it.
Only when you've tried it with all your heart and soul, will you know and understand why you had to go through it in the first place.

God is good. All things are possible!! But only, WITH GOD in it...
Don't try to do things with your own strength.
Don't be too proud to admit you are wrong.
Don't be too arrogant to ask when you are not sure.

For when you ask, you shall definitely receive!

God is GOOD!! ALL THE TIME! :)

Exciting life
Wah.. this month passes by in a swift!
Before I know it.. we're almost coming to an end of the month in just another week.
Can't even rem much what I did!
It was very much of running about here & there..
But thank God, quite a number of cases closed lately..

Not big cases, but every case count... people are still investing their CPF like never before, before the CPF ruling kicks in... by then...people without $60k in their CPF wont even get to invest any of their money le...

Well.. ruling changes all the time.. all just so that people will have enough for Retirement..
Well... the papers are still talking about the CPF reforms and changes etc...
Statistics does show that we are all growing and living older... but i guess the older folks are the ones who don't really understand ba... it's hard to believe that we would really be living till that old when mortality in Singapore has been like 50s and 60s in the past..

But well.. medical technology has improved so much and life expectancy are indeed increasing loh.. People are more vain nowadays and know how to take care of their health better and also are more exposed to the various kinds of treatment available..

Mmmm... we tried something lately.. but a bit disappointed la.. well.. its okie la...
Will try again soon.. heehee.. :P

Dedicated to Darling - DESTINY
It Is Not What Has Been Done To You That Seals The Fate Of Your Life But How You Respond To Injustice That Determines Your Destiny.

“And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.” 1 Samuel 30:6 (KJV)

The Hebrew farmer’s preparations did not always go according to plan. Wind, hail, mildew, hot desert winds, or invasion by locusts, cankerworms, and caterpillars may have devastated his crops. When this happened, did that farmer give up and curse God? When life doesn’t go the way you planned, step back. How can you righteously respond to the situation? Remember, you are in charge of your attitude, so you cannot blame your response on anyone or anything but yourself. Understanding why you feel the way you do can relieve a lot of your frustration. Filter your emotions through God’s Word. Find out how Jesus would respond. What would He do in your situation?

Attitude is not based on circumstances or people. It’s all about how we choose to respond! A wife cannot blame her depression on the way her husband treats her. An employee can’t blame his bad attitude on the boss. When his crops failed, the Hebrew farmer always had another season in which to plant, a divine opportunity to start all over again. There’s always something positive to focus upon—discover it, and you are on your way to a great future!
Daily Confession
Father, I thank You that as David encouraged himself in the Lord, so I encourage myself in You. I understand what is done to me does not seal the fate of my life, but how I respond to injustice determines my destiny.

Enlarge my tent, strengthen my stakes..
Yeah.. CGL was preaching about enlarging our tents in this period and to strengthen our stakes in God. That's the most important thing we need to do.

Truly, Building Fund is coming, Church is expanding to 2 locations..
Big moves are coming, "Perfect Storm" is coming, says someone...
Expect tribulations to come in the next few months/years... because we are doing something great and awesome.

When new things happen, bad things follow too.. to make sure we wont survive the bad patch.
But as long as our stakes are strengthened in God, all things will be possible.
Nothing is impossible with MY GOD!!

Hallelujah....
And that means I gotta stretch my capacity too..
Wow.. come to think of it... some bad episodes took place some time back.. and I'm really surprised at how God can turn things around... things are better.. seemingly...
And more changes to be expected...
I've suddenly become a transposon..
Hahaha.. if you ever find out the meaning... then u might know what is going to happen...

Anyway, I'm happy! =)
To be able to serve God with abilities and talents that He has endowed me with... is such an honor. :)
Expecting more things to come... and greater things I shall do for His Kingdom!
Amen!

Will need lotsa support and encouragement.. and I know Darling will be there to help me with what I need! Thanks Darling! :)

Pastor preached about REALITY today...
At the end, we were asked to write about what our reality is and how we want to have a breakthrough.
I wrote 3 things.

1) Career-related
2) Family-related
3) Relationship-related.

GOSH! Just as I was typing this out, a revelation came.
SOMEONE was just telling me something about these 3 areas this afternoon... after service.

WOAH! I'm amazed! God is good!
And now I know... what I should be prepared for...
The 3 things I wrote is what I need to guard my heart for.. and the things I should be prepared for when the devil comes attacking.

Strengthen my stakes!! Yeah!!
I need to work doubly hard, triply if needed.
I need to balance my time and spend more time with my family, esp my parents..
And I need to balance my time with my love one too..

Woah!! God is always just on time man...
You'll never know what I'm thinking now.. But I AM AMAZED!!
It didnt even dawn on me in the afternoon!
But as I was finding a word to describe what I wrote, I realised that it was the exact 3 areas that I wrote that I was challenged!

Man!! God is soooo ReaL.
And He prepared me beforehand even before I know what is about to happen!
He already caused me to write it down, black and white what I want.. and then here He comes, preparing me for the same areas.
AMAZED!!

MMmm... okay... I shall be praying hard about these areas.
God, since You led me to it, You will led me THROUGH it.
May Your Anointing and empowerment be upon me always, to be a minister to Your people and be a POSITIVE influence to them wherever I may be.. in whatever I do.
Thank You God, for allowing me to serve You in this manner.
Thank You God, for using me.
I LOVE YOU JESUS!!
