As He is so r we in this world!

Happy Lunar New Year! Time really flies. Before you know it, another year has passed. Had the usual steamboat reunion dinner. The difference is the new addition to the family. Little rebecca, my 2nd sis's bb joined us for the dinner. Another new bb coming this year cos my eldest sis is pregnant for 3 months now, so there will be another new member to the family in the next cny! Yeah! Served in church on 1st day of cny at the indoor stadium. The message is good - "As Jesus is, so are we in this world!" As Jesus is at the right hand of God, so are we since we are in Him. As He is rich and healthy, so are we. These are usually what we wishes one another during this festive period. And all these (whatever u desire to have), we have because that is what Christ has purchased for us at the cross. Amazing rite? :)

After the svs, went for my first cny visiting at gh's place. No visiting in M'sia for me this year. My sisters, bro-in-graces, little nephew and niece came over to our place. Dearie came over to pay his visit too. I just had fun playing with my nephew and niece this new year. Alrite, tt's all for now folks! Gong xi fa cai, bu bu gao sheng, nian nian you yu, xin xiang shi cheng, tian tian kuai le.

Human Pride vs Pride in the Lord

Was reading Psalm 106 and it was on the rebellion of the people in the wilderness during Moses times and how God has showed His mercy towards them time and again. It dawned on me that those people back then did not let the revelation of God's love sink in them. To think that God delivered them from the hands of the Egyptians and has been their provision along the way, they still rejected Him and turned to idol worshipping and ignorantly boasted in their own ability to keep the law (for my non-believer friends reading this, it's the famous ten commandments). Such prideful attitude and I'm talking about human pride. Such pride gives you the disillusion that only by your own flesh that you can cause things to be the way you want it to be. Such pride that cause you to be closed up to others and always be on your toes. Such pride that cause you to appear strong on the outside to hide away the real you. I knew it because I was there and still there sometimes. When the love of God is not rooted in your hearts, it is easy to fall back to human pride, acting as if God has not redeemed you, rejecting His love and promises to you, rejecting the finished work on the cross. On the other hand, when we have the constant revelation of His love for us, we can then boast in the Lord that we have everything because Jesus lost everything on that cross. We can boast that we are accepted in the beloved because Christ was rejected by God at the cross. This is boasting and havin pride in the Lord. Do you really know how much Jesus has suffered to give you what you don't deserve today? That was something that I caught on my train ride to work and even as I was typing this. It also dawn on me that there are times I was not letting the love of God to fill my heart, causing myself to try to hide away my weaknesses for some reason. I'm not there yet but I still thank God that for whatever small revelation of His love i have today, I experience tremendous blessings in every area even if I don't deserve them. God really loves you and He is waiting for you to just go to Him and receive all that you need. And not to forget that when he blesses you, He really blesses you abundantly above all you can imagine or ask for. All this because He loves you. :)

A quick update on the past few days, spent quite some time window shopping with dearie...notice it's window shopping cos I did not get anything other than a new white shirt for choir. :( attended a wedding lunch at hyatt again..but it was really enjoyable and food is great! One of the best weddings I have attended. Went for more shopping with dearie and J after that..heh..Alrite! Time to get back to work!

The Sweetest

The Sweetest

Loh Xiwen, the sweetest sound
That my heart has felt
And my ears has found

Loh Xiwen, the sweetest frame
That my arms have felt
Whom my soul reaches out

My sweetest mate
Whom the Lord has made
The fairest maid
That my gaze has laid

O, blessed man that i am
Whom the Lord has gaveYou to my hand.


Shan't compare this to the poem that is written by e's couz but for the impromptu effort that my dear gh made, i love it! heh...though i dunno if he came up with this just becos i commented that the poem written by e's couz was soo sweet! ;p Hmm...but...y the full name....you mean if i call darling by his full name, it's supposed to be romantic? CGH?

Great Start for Year 2006

Just had my BK lunch and decided to blog..hehe..boss is away from spying tools..It has been a great start of the Year 2006 for me as i'm going to receive taka shopping vouchers for excellent attendance in 2005 (still lying on his table though)..haha.. this is the first time my boss decided to award people with good attendance record. Basically, i haven't been taking any MC for the year 2005 and i din even realise that till my boss sent an official email to me somewhere in Oct 05 to inform me that my MC record is nil. Praise God for divine health for the year and it shall be better this year. Shall spend it "wisely"...hee! Also heard from J that she is converted to perm at work. Praise Jesus! Wat a great start for the Year 2006. I believe all our 100 folds are coming, in fact it's here already, we just have to received it! I have experienced blessings in many ways all these while and thank God for those and more to come! Once again, i'm excited about wat's ahead of me.

Gonna have choir pract this evening. Choir has indeed grown over the years and thank God for sincere servers who chose to commit their time in practices and serving on BS and Sundays. The Lord sees the desires in each of their hearts and fulfills them (including me! Amen! :)).

I thank God for people ard me! Thank God for dearie gh for loving me the way i am, my family for such great help always, my friends for being there for me! :)

I'm a Ta Xiao Jie?

It's the 2nd day of the new year 2006. Went out on the eve of new year with my JC/Uni friends and dearie gh for steamboat dinner. We started roaming aorund for a nice spot to settle down so that we can watch the fireworks at 12 midnight. Esplanade is out since that's where all the actions will be and the threatening number of pple drove us out of there and settle at a quieter spot at the war memorial area. It's worth the wait, the fireworks are beyond words. We had a great time just watching it. Going back from there was a very difficult task. I'm glad for my dear gh who just knew where to get a cab fast and we were not squashed by the CROWD.

Immediately the next morning i set off to church serving in choir for the 1st 2 svses. The 1st message of the year was good, the focus for this year was to be led by the Holy Spirit from glory to glory and be led in everything we do. Dearie got the same word directly from the Lord Himself on the eve. We shall be going from glory to glory in this new year. I'm excited about what is to come!

Today is a rest day for me and dearie. We decided to just take this day and rest, so I slept practically the whole morning till lunch, with interval of waking up for breakfast. :P Parents had been complaining about the level of mess in my room. I decided to change my bedsheet at least. :P While changing, my mum came in and started cleaning up my room for me. I realised i had been co-habitating with a fair amount of dust in my room which i had not clean for many months...ehhh...hee..i felt quite lousy actually, having to let my mum clear and clean my room for me...am I a ta xiao jie? I used to spring clean my room like once every half a year while i was still studying in NTU. Everything stopped when i start working..heh...eh, think i have to make an effort to clean up myself next time. If not my mum will just say things like " aiyo, cannot be so dirty and messy le, later no one wants to marry u"...and my reply "..."..hee..Now my room is clean again, thanks to my mummy! :)

May all of u enjoy this brand new year and be continuously led by the Holy Spirit in everything you do! Blessed New Year! :)

Happy New Year!!!

Taking this time while i'm back in office on a new year's eve at 4plus in the afternoon to sign up a candidate to wish everyone a very Blessed 2006 ahead! Been a great 2005 and 2006 shall be better in Jesus Name! In 2005, I have been blessed with a great bf (my dearie gh) and work wise, i had experience my 30, 60, 100 folds blessings in closing deals (recruitments) too. I also took a really long break from choir and oh yes, my primary school best friend got saved too! Praise God! On the same day when darling gh asked me to be his gf...hehe..Many things has happened this year and for the bad ones, i dun and din wanna remember them too. I only see my blessings! :) Now, I'm back to choir (actually sometimes i'm hesitant about my decision to come back choir although it's the only ministry i wanna serve in but due to the commitment). Well, God shall give me the grace to serve and the alternating system is finally starting! :)

All is good and well! I'm going off to check on my candidate and if he's done, i will be rushing off to meet my darling downstairs. He's waiting for me!!!
