..my battle stance..

It's almost customary to blog before flight for me :D So here goes.. Blogging from JT 151, seat 7E. On my right, seorang mbak manis berbusana batik. On my left, cowo bule yg skilas ky Rooney tampangnya. Alright, time to fly soon. Finally year end holiday is officially underway. Been a tough year surprisingly for me. But if 2012 has 'perfect storm' waiting, Then this is a perfect appetizer. My God is faithful for u and me. You can rely on that. Tuhan Yesus baik :)

Bleach, up to the point where Ichigo saved Rukia from Soul Society punishment, was as good as any anime/manga I know. Sigh.. I wonder if today's babies will ever have the chance to grow up reading great manga like the ones we used to read. Ahh.. it's good to be born in the 80s... ^___^ Reliving this once again..

I expected a resting month with little surprise but what do I know? Another roller coaster ride for the soul. But all is well. It is well with my soul. This little boat will float still. For the Lord is its captain.

Today we are taught the most expensive lesson yet in life. Expensive in the sense that it was such a short lesson hah. And probably for many people it wasn't compulsory. But I suppose in the journey of an entrepreneur, it's a must. Don't risk what you are not prepared to lose. Do or do not.. there is no try.

Averaging 10 posts per month for 2011 so far, not bad. Everyone has been asking 'why' recently, I can only say 'wait'. And I have also been asking God 'how' a lot, and I guess the answer is also 'wait'. Had a mini batch 5 reunion on Saturday. Thank you to vivy for organising it year after year. And glad to meet up with some of these guys.. my very first friends when I came here 12 years ago. Was surprised to meet Martin with his wife. He is more difficult to meet than Shen Cia Yi. So we were all pleasantly surprised when he appeared out of the blue. Martin, Hady, and Abuy were probably my closer friends when we pioneered youth service at NUS. Hady went on to NCC, Martin was MIA, and Abuy of course now is the beloved pastor of sunday school. Let's see how we turn out 10 years from now :) Maybe I will be a pastor too :P Anyway.. just want to say thank you to friends who have been blessing to me by recommending or giving me business this year. May God i...

Okay.. this is not very 'man' to do. To talk about 7pm drama on TV. But this story is really moving :( Maybe because I can really relate to the hardships that the two protagonists experienced. The heartless people around them. And the inexplicable difficulty after difficulty that seems to have no end. The story began with the two women drawing divination lot at their kampong temple. It ends with message about the Heavenly Father's heart.

It's officially here. The month of retrospecting, of meditating and of being restful. Things did not go as well as I hoped for, honestly, for the last couple of months. But in God's eyes, I am sure everything is less serious and much better than what I perceive. So I will learn not to take it too seriously either. And just.. be at rest. Life is funny, isn't it? There was this movie that we so eagerly want to watch that we booked it like.. 2 weeks in advance? And it's not even a box office or something. And amazingly.. we missed the date in the end LOL. There are things that you pursue frantically and often, you miss them in the end. And there are things that naturally happen or come to you. That's life. At the end of the day though, as the wife of a successful businessman said, "the persistent one will prevail". That's her conclusion when it comes to business and success. So the key is, I think, how we maintain our persistence while being at rest in Go...
