Dun know why I’m in an extremely good mood today. Today is the last day of 2007. I feel so happy cos there are SO MANY things to rejoice about and there are MORE good things to rejoice for in the coming year, such as no need to lead praise and worship for the next 3 mths. WooHoo !!!
So happy that Mentor likes my xmas present. It’s so amazing how inspiration and thoughts flows hand-in-hand within a short timeframe to come out with something so challenging. Yet the process is so fun and enjoyable.
Mentor, I hope this can be your source of motivation in 2008. Dun be bothered by the circumstances as a unfavorable circumstance can result in a praiseworthy piece of work … a good example is my story on the YEP study plan ... and I realise some things are contagious, for example writing "Dec 2008" when I mean "Dec 2007" ... heehee

Love Actually is ...
Watched Love Actually at Ch5 last nite and told fay to watch to it. So glad that she enjoyed it.
This is one of my fav movie and apparantly Ch5 will screen it during xmas season every year. I missed it last year cos was busy celebrating xmas with ppl from DTFC at my bro's house. Watching this again after so many years, the movie is still as enjoyable as the first time I watched at Cineleisure and there isnt another xmas-theme movie produced after LA, which is so loved and remembered by many.
It's really interesting to see how each story is related to another and my favourite love story is on the guy who expressed his love for his best friend's wife. It was first perceived that the guy disliked the girl but the truth was the exact opposite. In fact the guy liked the girl so much that he was nervous and later refrained from talking to her cos his best friend liked her.
It was so sweet and touching when the wedding video was made up of mostly close-up of the bride and every scene was beautifully film. Then he expressed his true feelings outside the door, saying "enough" after he was kissed ... WOW! Such a beautiful love story lor ...
In life, sometimes the things we feel or perceive is actually the opposite of reality. So to me, love actually is not to judge so quickly, giving the person another chance, be gentle and understand when someone cant meet my expectation, yet not compromising on it. It's tough huh. Well well ... if life is so easy, we will soon run of challenges!!! Hahaha ... What we need is to view the world with a child-like perspective and this world will be so WONDERFUL! WooHoo ... !!!

Xmas present
Browsing thru these sites (http://www.worldvision.org.sg/st_Christmas_Gift_Catalogue.php), I truely understand the purpose of xmas present and it's so tough to select 1 out of so many cos all of them are essential yet taken for granted in our comfy nation.
I still remember that little blessing to the Mongolia community and am very tempted to do likewise this year. However, me being a bumper for 11 mths and not earning as much as I used to, I have to be realistic ... it's so hard to choose but I'm very sure I will pick one from category 2 ... maybe a pair of milking cows. Hmmm ... why they dun have lambs leh??? Heehee ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok ... I have pick the present. See below
It's $313 in total ... exactly the amount I get back for YEP reimbursement ... WooHoo!!!

True Leadership
I have always admire those who possess strong leadership skill. Sometimes I wonder if good leaders are borned or nurtured? In the past I always believe that it is borned but over time, I realise that it is nurtured. Those, who are nurtured (borned with leadership qualities), are really blessed because a good leader can influence and impact others' life in a positive manner.
I have experienced some unhappy events at work (particularly my manager) and somehow concluded that TRUE leadership can only be witness thru Jesus Christ. Perhaps, I should ask Him for wisdom to accept things that I cant change.

He alone is sufficient
Have been westling with my thought and finally decided to blog this here ...
Have been dreaming and thinking of my dad since last sun. I turned in early last sun nite cos I was very tired and thought I could sleep from 8:30pm to the next morning but I was awaken from my dream 2 hours later. I remembered very clearly that agony look on my dad's face and I felt very helpless.
2 people appeared in my mind and I prayed before calling/ sms them. The person I called, as usual, did not answer my call and the person I sms has slept. I was wide awake and dun know what to do but lying on the bed. My mind is filled with the agony-looking face.
Surprisingly, my phone rang and an unexpected friend called me. God is so kind and merciful that He answer my prayer and send an angel to ease me from this helplessness. I felt a lot better after chating with my angel for nearly an hour. However, this's not over cos I experienced moments of helplessness, sorrow, fear and emptiness through the past week.
I dun know if this is demonic and I dun have the energy to analyse. One thing I feel grateful about is to have Him. When I set my eyes on Him, He set me free from all the earthly events, which is not of Him.
I'm very grateful for His unconditional love and His blessing is always sufficient for all His children. He is so beautiful that I have stopped thinking about my 'Jacob' for He alone is sufficient for me.

He leads me beside the still waters.

How to Be a Better Person?
How to be a better person? See below ...
This is the poem I have prepared for Summer Camp students. I still remember that we were asked to prepare the materials using '8 habits of the highly effective people' ... think I will doze off before the kids ... hahaha
Anyway, I'm very grateful for proposing inspirating stories for summer camp and this poem was handy after that unpleasant event occurred. The kids were so affected that they all came together as one. Instead of competing among each other, they cheered for one another. We were all very proud of them and in our eyes, none of them are loser.
Only after witnessing the usefulness of the summer camp materials and the great impact on both students and volunteers, then I comprehend my purpose for this trip.
How to be a better person? The answer is LOVE ... only when one does not stop loving, then he/ she can be a better person ... Self-centreness and judgement on others will only driff people apart.

Wonders of The Butterfly Effect
I have always been very amazed with myself for experiencing series of split thoughts within minutes. What puzzled me the most is how those irrelevant thoughts are being chained. It seems so real and yet so contradicting ... hmmm ... do u understand what i mean?
Anyway, this's not important.
Have given Pris her belated birthday card. Glad that she likes it ... and thanks for the compliments, ladies. It's God-given talents.
As mentioned, 'butterfly effect' refers to the flapping of a butterfly's wings that create a tiny change to the atmosphere which causes a tornado. In real life application, it means a small act that impacts mutliples. In the spiritual context, we're all called to use our God-given talents to impact others.
I have witnessed 2 very good demostrations of 'butterfly effect' just these 2 days. Last nite, Mr Benny Ong was invited to speak on how we can glory God in our working life and Nick Vujicic spoke at RiverLife Church this evening.
Learnings from Benny's seminar - Be challenged to possess a Godly-attitude in all aspects of our life. Set our eyes on our heavenly Father, proclaim everything belongs to Him and therefore, do everything wholeheartedly (even if you're a car-washer) to glorify His Kingdom. True success comes from God-guided attitude.
Learnings from Nick's session - Dont think about the circumstance. Focus on the purpose of the circumstances. At times when we do not know the purpose, just have faith in God cos everything, whether good or bad, happens for a GOOD reason!
It's really amazing how God use people. Both men are so blessed and by doing a small act (talk and share their testimony), they're impacting lives of many.
