Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

Working at LSC
04 sept 2006 - 27 sept 2006
With special thanks to the friends and family support, thanking God for the answered prayer, i found the next path of my life, at least he next 5 years of my life secured. Well since i quit SP services, basically i found another job at the Library supply centre, doing data entry. For at least 2 months. Met friends i never thought i would... people i never thought would have left an impact in my memories... perhaps for time to come...
AHHHH.. my desk!! MY TREMENDOUS WORKLOAD!
Busy at work!!! Beside me... is
My noisy colleuge!! H!! She is noisy... wa busy oso can talk non stop. For practically over a mth plus, it has always been she and i. Come to work, to lunch and back home. We've seen each other at our worse and also at our best. Sharing laughter and tears, altogether over the past mth, we had many memories together.
Well friends do come and go. Some people are there in our lives only for that moment, not dilibrately, but circumstances and restrictions disallows. From my time with her i learn that its important to treasure every moment you have with a person, to create the best memories, because that time could be the only time.
Well i never regretted it, because we did create memories to our best despite the odds. Irs prolly hard to meet again, but i treasure the moments with you. Here is this entry specially to you:
Thanks for the little gift! =)

Gold Refined
Just read an article on Gold. Its interesting to know that the gold that often catches our eyes, that we often look with eyes that sparkle, isn't actually all Gold by itself.
Refined gold is actually soft and pliable, it is free from corrosion or other substances. Does our gold jewellery means that it is fake? No! Just that gold is mixed with other metals such as copper, zinc or alloy, that makes the gold harden. The higher the percentage of other metals the harder the gold becomes.
Well, i shared this because it reflected very much of our hearts. Our hearts are orginally soft and pliable like pure gold. Soft and tender. But we have allowed hurts, resentment and bitterness into our lives causing anger, unforgiveness and resentment to harden our hearts. Making us suspicious of people, becoming judgemental of others, thinking we are more Godly, and becoming more insensitive towards others.
That hardens our heart!! What has become to the once soft and pliable heart? is all gone? No!! I read on...
Refining gold is grinded into a powder and mixing it with a substance called flux. The mixture is that place into the furnace and melted by intense heat. The gold which is heavier stays at the bottom, the other impurities are drawn to the flux and rise to the surface.
God refines us with affliction, trials and tribulations, the heat then seperates and surfaces out impurites such as unforgiveness, bitterness, resentment, anger, envy... and all that is not of God. In very nice moments everyone can be nice and loving... Even the most wicked man can be kind and generous under prospering circumstances. How many times have we heard people we know winning lottery or getting a job promotion wanting to give a treat to everyone? IT is under the heat of trials that our true character surfaces.
Indeed is true of this saying :"Everbody's normal until you get to know them."
It has been rather painful for me whenever i have to face the truth whenever i see weakness in my character. Being someone having the tendency often to be judgemental and easily getting intolerable... Working at SP services call centre has revealed alot of truth about my low tolerance level, when i often easily blow up when face with rude customers. One with low tolerance is often one who has a small heart. Last week alone i have let out some irritations and furstrations to people around me.
A man is measured, by placing a measuring tape round his heart.
How can one claim to be patient unless he is place under a circumstances where the people are simply testing him to his limit?
How can one claim to be loving unless he is face with someone he finds so hard to love?
I need to realize that i am no better then anyone else.
I need to see people as the Lord sees them and not as the world sees.
I need to learn to accept differences, that leads them to be different from me as well
Hurting people hurts people.
Lord, how i long to be more like You! Facing the truth of oneself is painful, only because those things make me feel so unlike my Father. Break my callousness, help me to love them like you do. Enlarge my heart to love and accept those i find it so hard to. Help me to accept the differences, for Lord i'm not better then anyone along my way.
Who am I, that the eyes that see my sins, would look on me with Love and watch me rise again. For its not because of who i am but because of who you are. Then i'll see beyond my calvary one day and i will be complete in you.

Our mini Sports marathon competition
What a long day at east coast. Set out to challenge a series of sports with Y. Who intends to pick a challeng with me. Well, it was kinda funny for a competition between only 2 person. But I however thought the time we had was meaningful and fun altogether. Basically a summary of our little mini competition so far:
1-0: Well, our first sports was badminton, which obviously i was not that good! But still i won.
Heading down to east coast:
2-0: I won the 3km run at east coast, again i won. GAve u 2 minutes head start, still cannot win. Sigh!
3-0: Well into cycling next, finishing point at bedok jetty, a 1 minute head start did not gave you the victory either. Had leisure cycling after that, to watch aeroplane take off at the other end of east coast.
Lunch at east coast with Y... we all had no appititte. So we just talked about life... We were heading to kayake next. Non competitive as we weren't confident. It rain a little before the sun rose up again. We took nearly an hour walk to the
kayake place as we kept playing along the way.
Kayake for an hr or so, before we both drop dead on the sand. Played tic tac toe and rain drop on the sand, the waves washing it away after every game.
Slacked till evening, headed to shower, watch sun set........ then........
4-0: Bowl. Well i had my highest score of 114 in that match. Went to the lagoon for dinner thereafter...
Was a meaningful day, wanna say that i reali enjoyed. so where's nxt? Table tennis?!?! Penalty shoot out?!?! O ya climbing bukit timah hill. fun fun fun... So lookin forward to that. =)
Well meet LYZ later at night, obviously i fought to sustain myself while drinkin with him. But crashed in his car... 180 degrees flat.

A snap of the bridge we had to cross.
Our First round of drinks, we are at this point on the top of the 4 story tower.
The little girl's smile again. =)
Finally our first few picts together after so many yrs. We are at this point on the 4th story of the tower. It being a weekday, it was rather quiet, we were happily playing our cameras, eating, chilling and talking.
