..my battle stance..

today is important. today could well be the last day I stand and minister in worship team for the youth congregation i have been part of for the last 10 years. wow.. 10 years. but those time.. if anything.. only says one thing.. God's faithfulness. And along with that faithfulness.. grace and forgiveness. may God lead this congregation to greater things over and beyond their expectation. as for me.. as long as i live.. i will be his worshiper. i dunno about future.. but i know it's in his mighty hand. so.. here we go.. 2010.. a year without boundaries.

Attended a briefing session on trainee forex dealer program that was on the Classified job section two weeks ago. They advertised the program like a proper trainee program but.. my skeptic side has suspected that it was another forex trading course, which is no different from those internet marketing courses I encountered back then. And so it was. Asked my friend who is in forex dealing department in a Japanese bank to give his comments. He thought the program was very good. And the presentation was convincing. I seriously think of joining. But I have issues with few things. First and foremost- the fact that they are not being open with the fee that comes with the program. they advertised the stuff like a job opening whereas in fact.. they are looking for business. The way they trick people into coming to their presentation showed one thing: lack of integrity. They may truly have competence and good track records but.. a teacher who lacks integrity can only produce a student who lacks

Yan Hui adalah murid kesayangan Confucius yang suka belajar, sifatnya baik. Pada suatu hari ketika Yan Hui sedang bertugas, dia melihat satu toko kain sedang dikerumuni banyak orang. Dia mendekat dan mendapati pembeli dan penjual kain sedang berdebat. Pembeli berteriak: “3×8 = 23, kenapa kamu bilang 24?”Yan Hui mendekati pembeli kain dan berkata: “Sobat, 3×8 = 24, tidak usah diperdebatkan lagi.” Pembeli kain tidak senang lalu menunjuk hidung Yan Hui dan berkata: “Siapa minta pendapatmu? Kalaupun mau minta pendapat mesti minta ke Confusus. Benar atau salah Confusius yang berhak mengatakan.” Yan Hui: “Baik, jika Confucius bilang kamu salah, bagaimana?” Pembeli kain: “Kalau Confucius bilang saya salah, kepalaku aku potong untukmu. Kalau kamu yang salah, bagaimana?”Yan Hui: “Kalau saya yang salah, jabatanku untukmu.”K eduanya sepakat untuk bertaruh, lalu pergi mencari Confucius. Setelah Confucius tahu duduk persoalannya, Confucius berkata kepada Yan Hui sambil tertawa: “3×8 = 23. Yan Hui,

i will learn to remain silent.. that's how i want to end my 2009. to learn how to remain silent.. even when i have reason to advise or criticize. i will learn to let time show.. whether i got to learn or you got to learn. and for some of my dearest ones.. i really hope if it turns out that you got to learn.. that you do learn. i am trying my best.. so you won't have to hear a word from me. and so you can take your time to learn at your pace.. but do learn. because the day will come when the harsh truth hits you hard truth that you gotta grow.. and grow fast because patience is a luxury in this flat world.

"trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I've conquered the world." John 16 : 31-33 (The Message) and here is the unshakable truth.. that with Him.. we are more than conquerors!

so for the 2nd time in a year, our tv decided to shut himself down. we don't know why.. we are more concerned about how.. how much it costs to revive him. and it's a lot! so i called my colleague and ask for contact who could repair our tv. this colleague of mine.. end up sharing her testimony, which she always does. she told me she has taken it easy on her business side of life. she no longer chases after every big and small deal and try to close them. she wants to.. travel as light as possible. because she said.. this is the end time. she couldn't afford to spend all her time on these worldly matters. what's most important to her now.. is the kingdom. she has once almost lost her own salvation, she said.. but God pulled her back and from that time onwards she decided that she would never trade God with anything else. our conversation reminds me of 2012 the year may not be accurate-- but the message is! "the end time is NEAR.. and it gonna get UGLY" for all

I find it pointless to argue with Or to convince someone Unless he/she is interested to listen There is no need to prove our point. Afterall.. If we were right, Time will prove our case, now or later. If you want to be 'right' most of the time It's easy.. Just follow majority But then.. You will find yourselves Difficult to stand me

Watched 'faith like potatoes' yesterday. It isn't as engaging as fireproof- the last movie screened by young adults group in our church. But being based on true story.. It is truly a great story I suggest.. Read the book. The message in the movie.. And today's Pst Kong sermon has been speaking to me In the same affirming way regarding 2010. One word: FREE

the dagger is cold. the eyes of the person who holds it.. are even colder. the holder is a widow. the dagger is an orphan. he died. he has eventually died. certainly not because anyone is faster than him, and not because anyone is more formidable than him. he died because he surrendered. to the speed of time.. and invincibility of death. not because he wanted to.. simply because he was a human. so here they are.. the widow.. and the orphan. the orphan is lonely. the widow is even lonelier. not because she wants to.. simply because she is a human after all. ----- I Miss Reading Gu Long's Words ------

I forgot which preacher said this.. but he said it well. our life journey.. is the one filled with the "but God" events we were in the valley of death, with no hope and no way out, surrounded by sins and failures and sickness.. but God.. He stretched His mighty right hand and pull us out. we were blessed in all aspects of life, and we got carried away, we drift away from Him before we knew it, we have walked back to the valley of death, surrounded by guilt and failures and sickness.. but God.. He stretched His faithful right hand and pull us out. for every seemingly desperate situation we are in, we can always safely proclaim in faith that.. there will always be "but God" waiting to happen.

It feels weird today. It's Saturday. But I have no viewing to arrange. Yet I am setting myself minimal of three cases to close this month. Mm.. reasonable? Well.. God-able. Rite.. I am going to give you some insight on a book that I borrowed from Darvin. It's titled "Speed of Trust", by Stephen M. R. Covey Written by the son of the legendary writer who wrote the "Seven Habits" book. All decent man and woman should at least have heard of the legendary book. Never read that legendary book.. but Speed of Trust is a very good book that.. to certain extent.. it impacts me the way "Wild at Heart" did two years ago. Basically this book speaks of the importance of "trust" element in our lives, our organisation, business. because all these.. are in essence.. relationships. Well.. at personal level.. this book impacts me so much because.. being in my job.. being myself character-wise.. I seriously need to relearn the way of.. completely trusting my

I am currently listening to hot and cold reading in action.. I didn't know it could be that convincing to some people ^^ that's despite the reading being carried out by an untrained person. no wonder.. psychic works wonder heh. oh well.. just a thought. after years and years listening to people talking about the SAW series.. and never watched any.. i finally watched the first one today. SAW VI the first 10 minutes was soo amazing.. that jojo couldn't stand the movie to the point of walking out of the cinema hall and went to watch another movie next door. she never knew that the rest of the movie was not as gore. overall.. I liked the movie. good story line. Fwah.. sleepy.. zzz..

Obama has actually been in charge for one year.. till I look at the newspaper today and saw a small headline that says so. Has it been THAT long? I also didn't know that there was this Andy Lau movie that was shot in Singapore. An old old movie that features Andy Lau, Alan Tam, Liang Jia Ren (those that knows HK movie will know that they are big names back then).. and there was Eric Tseng, who, during those days, used to be playing some goofy characters. I randomly switched to Celestial channel today and I saw Andy Lau. So I stayed on. And then I saw the word 'Sentosa'.. then there was the island. then I saw cars and bikes crashing and exploding around City Hall and Raffles Place. They were having some scenes at Raffles Place MRT, Orchard MRT too.. Quite interesting.. looking at those familiar places.. in its 80s condition with its 80s style crowds. Hm.. it has been THAT long.. From 80s to today From 2008 to today.. We gain some.. and lose some. There are some lost that we

we don't need to understand there are miracles, miracles.. let the monster see you smiling!! yeah life is beautiful.. our hearts they beat and break
