Something that really hit me last night during Cgm.
We were giving our offering and Wei cheng was sharing about these verses, Mark 12:41-44. I read for the first time, I dont feel anything. But when I read for the second time, something had came to my mind.

Many times we feel reluctant to give, me included. Why?
Because we are so scare that we wont have the money to eat or spend later on. But its not true at all. I used to have this mind set but when I start to change, seriously God did something you cant imagine. He always provide enough for me.

Another thing, I was serving JAMS 2 weeks ago. And when its offering time, teachers were walking around with the offering bucket, so student can drop their money into it.
When we return the bucket, then there is this student that I had missed her giving the offering. She was holding on to a $2 note, feeling very sad that I didnt came up to her.

Even a student wants to give so much and feeling sad that she was unable to give. But for us, we are feeling sad because we need to give.
At that moment of time, I feel ashame.

Anyway its just my thoughts.

I did this personal DNA test, got it from MF's blog. =)




About me

As a DIRECTOR, you combine an unusual openness and passion for beauty and style with confidence and a down-to-earth sensibility that allow you to realize your vision.

You are practical and pay attention to the details that others tend to miss.

By focusing on what is real and concrete, you achieve more than those who always have their heads in the clouds.

Having beautiful things in your life gives you pleasure and satisfaction - you have a keen eye for style.

Even when problems present themselves, deep down you know you will overcome these challenges.

You are open to new types of experiences – you are not afraid to take a risk on something new.

You have a highly developed sense of taste – you know what looks good on you, in your home, and in the world at large.

You prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the air until the last minute.

How I relate to others

Your outgoing nature, understanding of others, and directness make you ENCOURAGING.

You want others to do well for themselves, and you generally believe in their abilities.

You often know what's good for people because of your caring nature and your worldview.

When you care about someone, you don't keep it to yourself: you are good at letting people know that you're thinking of them.

Because you trust people, you take violations of that trust very seriously.

You thrive in social situations, and even though you know who you like and who you don't like, you can interact well with many different types of people.

Another week is coming to the end soon.
I have been slacking in school a lot now, anyway its last week of school this week
Next week will be Abacus week and the following 2 weeks will be my major project week.
Then exam week, and holiday week!

I just cant wait all these to end fast, but not for the holiday week.
I only have a pathetic of 9 days holiday, I seriously got to make good use of it before my attachment starts. Then that will be another chapter of life for me.

What really make me happy this week is, I got to have dinner with my family yesterday. And I stayed at home the whole day. Doing something that I want to do for a very long time, but dont have the time to do so.

And lastly, I'm going to move up to a higher level now.

Pictures during 23 may.

Disappointment.
I am angry too. I find it a little stupid now. Haha.
But whatever is it, everything happens for a reason.
God is good.

I got into MLA for my internship, thou allowance is not that much compare to other company that had offered to me. But I believe in working for interest and not money for now. Yes, money can buy things we desire for, but not everything. Not for happiness and experiences.

Next, remember 3 weeks ago I was suppose to do photoshoots for makansutra, doing this yeo's promotion thingy. Then I asked, what will I get back in return if I help them? They said, cant confirm yet. So in the end, I just told myself, just help them for once and not ask anything back. But today, I received an sms saying that I got paid, for doing a less than 2 hours photoshoot and the amount is so much more than I expected.

Really, what more can I ask for.

I had a real busy week and seems like everything is not going the way I want it to be.
I'm very tired and I for quite a few times, I just hope time will stop and I will do nothing.
Lets not name the problems anymore, cause I'm feeling so much better now.
I'm so lost that cried out to God on today's service for help.
My best friend always.

Mothers' day service.

Firstly, I want to wish every mothers, Mothers' day Happy. Haha!
After listening to those testimonies during service today and also the drama.
I was touched by the people, the drama.
I wanted to invite my mum over, but she was working today, and wont be able to make it for sure.
But thinking back how i grew under the hands of my mum is really a blessing. Although I complain a lot about how the ways she punished me which were so different from other mums. I still remember the times when my phone bills were sky high, she will not make me sleep for the whole night, though there was school the next day, and make sure I realise my mistake. She chased me out of house for not getting good result.

I wasnt close to my mother when I'm young. I grew up with my nanny till the age of 6 and only get to see my parents about once or twice a week. My mum is a very busy person, she worked from day till night. For people that dont know, my mum is in the F&B industry. So when I'm young, if I'm lucky enough, I will get to see her 1 hour a day, if not none. Imagine living under the same roof but not seeing each other that much. Yup, thats the feeling. At the age of 5, I had this asthamatic problem. My mum will visit me after her work over my nanny's place n matter how late was it, despite she need to wake up early the next day. Though I was asleep most of the time, but my nanny told me she was there.
I was hospitalise, she hugged me to sleep. She carried me because I'm too weak to walk. She sleeped on the most uncomfortable hospital sofa bed ever in the world, just to accompanied me.

Although I sometimes do complain on how naggy she is, how unreasonable she is, how not understanding she is, how demanding she is, how she makes my blood boils, loving me in a right ways and many many more. I know she loves me a lot.


I love you, mummy
And Happy Mothers' Day.

I was holding the lift door for this unknown neighbour of mine just now, when he came in he gave me a smile. Then when he went out of the lift, he said good night to me.

Well, it may sound normal to most of the people. But to me, I hardly can see such people exist in this world, or maybe at least for my block. To them, holding the lift door is what everyone should do. Therefore there goes the courtesy of saying, 'Thank you', or maybe at least a smile.

And another thing, recently my brother had this hand foot mouth thing. So he got to stay at home for 1 week. And this aunty living at 18th floor, never fail to buy food for him.

I'm touched by all these things. Though it may be small little things happening in our lives. But put it in a bigger picture, it will be different.

-----------------------------------

The presence of God is very strong over service today.
Few stuff had hit my heart and brain. Some how, I believe I will be able to do what God want me to do.
Visualise is the key word for today.

-------------------------

To side track, I have been coughing like nobody business.
And my chest is in pain now.

A very slack week for me.
Was on MC on tuesday, stayed at home the whole day to rest and get enough sleep.
Wednesday half day school for me, casue I went for my interview
Yesterday, labour day
And for today, three hours of airline ticketing lesson and then business communication test.

The coughing is really driving me crazy, and the medicine didnt really help
Maybe was because I drank cold water yesterday
And almost cough to death this morning. I'm not trying to talk big, but yes, cough to death and now my chest is in pain.
I hope I will get well soon.

I went window shopping with dar yesterday at vivo city, and the crowd was crazy
But thats not the main point
I saw this pair of shoes from River Island, it is very nice. But the price is very nice too. $95 Crazy.
I dont mind getting it, if it cost around $40 to $50, but a NO to $95.
Actually I'm still thinking about it, cause its really very nice.
And one thing, its make from pig skin.
So I'm wondering, 'wah, pig skin so expensive one mehz?!'
I'm not being racist or anything, its just a random comment.
Another item I like from there, was their cap. It look nice, but too ex already.
I'm just too broke, thats why.

Something just keep on going thru my mind, that I just cant stop thinking about it.
Tried not to think about it, but its difficult.
Anyway I shall just see what will happen in a few weeks time.
Before I blog about what actually I'm talking about.
