..my battle stance..

2AM, n we finally land on our bed at our new home. The first night at our wonderful new place. Phew.. The stairs hv been amazing.. Hv not been this exhausted for a while. And the stuff we gotta clear from our old house.. They r humongous. Never ending. It makes me wonder if we should hv moved out earlier. But I am thankful that God allows us to move now. Can't imagine what would hv happened if we stay on for 1-2 more years.

Amazing.. Isaiah 43:19. One verse that spoke to me in so many amazing ways this year. Only God could have done such things, really. This one verse guided me to Tung Ling, first of all. Then slowly but surely, it guides me to see that indeed.. this 11-year chapter is indeed coming to its end. Like the 3rd book of Lord of the Rings, the 7th book of Narnia. Like when I was going thru my stuff, deciding what to throw and what to keep. It brought me to see the last 11 years in perspective. And it seems... most of the things that need to be fulfilled, has been fulfilled. The verse came to my mind as I was looking at some of my favorite text books from our NUS days. Like.. Buku Sapi, CS1101 ^^, the GUI book, the Finance and Accounting books, History of Japan, and my Basic Japanese 1's notes. Not to dwell in the past. Look forward and upward to the new chapter. Discard all unnecessary baggage. Learn to travel light. Traveling light.. here, there, and to the end of the earth hoho ^^

Abel's name means.. vapor. And his life probably reflects that. Having to move again after almost 3 years, I went thru stuff that I have kept in boxes for years. Now that our new place have limited space and have no store room, I have no choice but to be cruel to my stuff. I am throwing away most of the things I have been keeping for memento sake. Going thru those stuff.. give me mixed feelings. Sometimes it's inexplicably heavy. Sometimes.. silly smiles and small laughter. And gratefulness. and at times.. tough time figuring out the origin of the stuff, the reason behind my writing, etc. like ika said.. sadly.. most of these things are no longer the way they are today. things you thought would stay forever.. they don't. they're just vapor in this life- a life which in itself is merely vapor. however life has been meaningful because of all these things. like the 24 friends who began this journey with me on November 15th, 1999. "batch 5".. you are the reason I ...

Nonsense are popular nowadays

This boy definitely beat Mark the Facebook. I dunno the statistics but he must be one of the youngest, if not the youngest, self-made millionaire. A 3 yrs old found 500 years old gold locket that has value of potentially 2.5 million POUNDS. Complete story here . Oh well.. I diligently bought TOTO like, once each month, and still.. it didn't happen to me =P But.. I believe that there is no shortcut in life. So this boy, for one reason or another, will also face challenges we all face to eventually live a fulfilling life. As for me, I am grateful for today. Somehow God allows me to come across some very exciting investment thingy. Whether it will turn out as good or bad things, as the old man says- we are not to judge. But in all things, I believe God works for our goodness. And I am all the more amazed because I really have not done anything deserving of this grace God poured on me. Grace is indeed scandalous. It is never about who we are or what we've done. It's always abou...

It's only November. Still somewhat below the target. But.. I feel like resting already -_- Is it the festive mood? Hmm... One thing for sure- i realise that 2010 has been a year without holiday trip to any country apart from Malaysia and of course, Indonesia. I suppose God.. we gotta make up for it next year =D and next year.. somehow.. by God's grace, it gonna be the beginning of this new thing I have been pondering about from the beginning of 2010. The realisation of Isaiah 43:19. As for now.. though eyes have not seen, but by faith I am giving thanks to the wonderful new home we will move into. this as well.. is realisation of Isaiah 43:19 I believe =)
