:: how to work in a hostile environment ::
HOW TO WORK IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT
1. Understand that God anoints you for trouble.
Put on the armor of God before going to work.
2. Don't expect to be appreciated.
Your only expectation should be to get a paycheck.
Don't come to work to have personal relationships.
Don't allow what you do to affect who you are.
3. Do your job well, but remember your mission.
God put you there to be a light.
4. Seek opportunities to change the atmosphere without commenting on the problems.
You have a God to talk to.
You're on an assignment.
In quietness and competence shall be your strength.
5. Don't let your environment get inside of you.
You should influence it, not let it influence you.
Stop going to work to be fed - you didn't come to receive, you came to give.
6. Increase your capacity to work with different personalities.
God will often bless you through people you don't even like!
7. Remember where you are does not define where you are going.
This will deliver you from frustration.
God has a plan for your life.
Keep your eye on the prize.
When Peter did this, he was able to walk in what other people sank in!
8. Get the optimum results with minimal confusion.
Be effective without making the environment worse.
9. Don't be associated with one group or clique.
Labels limit your usefulness.
God wants you to work with everybody but be labeled by nobody.
Use all your gifts.
10. Always keep your song near you.
Hold on to your praise.

~Dinner @ Ikea~
Baked Salmon...taste not bad...
Swedish Meatballs~ not bad too...but not fantastic...heez...
a pic of me and xiao mei
hi peeps...yup...mouth-watering pics again?heez...forgot to take the chic wings though...haaz...met up with Leon's frens for dinner...nice bunch of peeps...heez...at first thought will be kinda paiseh cos do not noe them...but everything goes well...xiao mei is Leon's gan mei mei...interesting gal...especially the way she laughs...unique...hmmmz...oh yah...guess wat?it's like i think 2nd or 3rd time in my 21yrs of life that i visited Ikea...sua ku rite? mayb i dont travel that far for no reason..plus no purpose for me to go Ikea...at least this meet up is for dinner...haaz...hmmm...some comments about what are sold at Ikea...the soft toys sold there are really ugly...mayb don't use the word ugly lah...juz not really pleasing to the eyes...haaz...some are really weird...wonder will people really buy it...haaz...and i feel that the furnitures and other stuffs there are not as fantastic as i thought it was...i've always have the thought that they sell very unique and nice furnitures...but guess i'm wrong (own point of view though)...
anyway...giving comments time...how do you pronounce IKEA?
for mi, i pronounce it as I - K - Ee - a (each pronounced as its respective alphabets except for 'a' where it sounds like 'a dog' or maybe 'er' without the 'rr' sound...i used to pronounce it as EeKia...a language all singaporeans understand...but it is wrong...this is cos' it happened that my Australian lecturer brought in a video clip on entrepreneurs for us to watch...one of the entrepreneurs is the founder of Ikea...and he pronounced it as the way i now pronounce it as...but as usual...when i said it that way...most people became 'blur'...haaz...then i will have to use the singaporean language...anyway would like to know which is actually the correct pronunciation?
there's another word where people always mispronounce...Salmon...people always pronounce it as SELLMON...but IT IS WRONG! my GP tution teacher used to tell me that the 'l' should not be read out...i always correct people...but they just dont listen..oh well...i did help...but...haaz...
anyway...will stop here...hope this doesnt bore you...heez...
take care n God Bless~~
~Fire Conference on 30/06/06 and 01/07/06~
Fire Conference is juz so amazing...loved it! it rocks!...actually wasnt intending to go...but some frens kept asking me to go...so i decided mayb juz go for Fri's one...cos Sat i intend to go Batam to relax...too stress...plus long long 1 time got holidays from sch...however, after i went for the Fri's conf...i loved it!and had a feeling from God that i should go for the Sat's one too...so in the end the trip was cancelled so that i can attend Sat's conf...really great....see the number of people there? the indoor stadium is really filled...really amazed by what God can do!heez...and really amazed to see so many faithful believers, and even non believers attend...really feel happy when i see people getting saved...really...but really hope it's really from their heart that they really wana accept Christ...cos this is not something for fun...though it can be very tough being a christian...but it is juz so amazing when you see what God does in your life...His blessings...the miracle He does...all these are juz too wonderful...yup...happy to be a christian although sometimes i'm really tired of it...heez...human nature...haaz...
Anyway, for those who missed the Fire Conference...too bad...but the next one will be in Hong Kong next yr...try go ba...heez...

Nothing is Impossible...
An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45 years old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on their window.
The Father asked his Son, "What is this?"
The Son replied "It is a crow".
After a few minutes, the Father asked his Son the 2nd time, "What is this?"
The Son said "Father, I have just now told you "It's a crow".
After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3rd time, what is this?"
At this time some _expression of irritation was felt in the Son's tone when he said to his Father with a rebuff..
"It's a crow, a crow".
A little after, the Father again asked his Son t he 4th time, "What is this?"
This time the Son shouted at his Father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?"
A little later the Father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his Son was born. On opening a page, he asked his Son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary :-
"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a Crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times.
I did not at all feel irritated I rather felt affection for my innocent child".
While the little child asked him 23 times "What is this", the Father had felt no irritation in replying to the same question all 23 times and When today the Father asked his Son the same question just 4 times, the Son felt irritated and annoyed.
So..
If your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or look at them as a burden, but speak to them a gracious word, be cool, obedient, humble And kind to them. Be considerate to your parents.
From today say this aloud,
"I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child.
They have always showered their selfless love on me.
They crossed all mountains and valleys without seeing the storm and heat to make me a person presentable in the society today".
Nothing in this world is IMPOSSIBLE , coz the word IMPOSSIBLE itself says I M POSSIBLE..

A Story worth reading
Breakfast at McDonald's . Please read until the end.
This is a good story and is true, please read it all the way through until the end! (After the story, there are some very interesting facts!):
I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree. The last class I had to take was Sociology. The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with. Her last project of the term was called "Smile." The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway, so, I thought this would be a piece of cake, literally.
Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning. It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son. We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did. I did not move an inch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved.
As I turned around I smelled a horrible "dirty body" smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was "smiling". His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance. He said, "Good day" as he counted the few coins he had been clutching.
The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation.
I held my tears as I stood there with them.
The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.
He said, "Coffee is all Miss" because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm).
Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes.
That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray. I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand.
He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Thank you."
I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, "I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope."
I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, "That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope."
We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give.
We are not church goers, but we are believers. That day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet love.
I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand. I turned in "my project" and the instructor read it. Then she looked up at me and said, "Can I share this?" I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class.
She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal people and to be healed.
In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my husband, son, instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.
I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn: UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.
Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read this and learn how to
LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.

Are u a Good Cook?
| You Are a Learning Cook |
 You've got the makings of an excellent cook, and the desire to be one. But right now, you're just lacking the experience. You couldn't be a top chef yet, but you could be an apprentice. |

Importance of Friends...
One day, when I was a freshman in high school,
I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school.
His name was Kyle.
It looked like he was carrying all of his books.
I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd."
I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.
As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him.
They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.
His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye.
As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives. " He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!"
There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now.
I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends He said yes.
We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again.
I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday! " He just laughed and handed me half the books.
Over the next four years, ! Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem.
He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak
Graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him. Boy, sometimes I was jealous.
Today was one of those days.
I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!" He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. "! Thanks," he said.
As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends... I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them.
I am going to tell you a story." I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile.
"Thankfully, I was saved.
My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."
I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile.
Not until that moment did I realize it's depth. Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life.
For better or for worse.

Feeling Stress?read dis...juz for laughs~
Mental Hospital
Jim and Mary were both patients in a Mental Hospital.
One day, while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jim suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank like a stone to the bottom and stayed there. Mary promptly jumped in to save him. She swam the bottom and pulled him out. When the medical director became aware of Mary's heroic act, he immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as he now considered her to be mentally stable.
When he went to tell her the news, he said, "Mary, I have good news & bad news. The good news is you're being discharged because since u were able to jump in and save the life of another patient, I think you've regained your senses". "The bad news is that Jim, the patient you saved, hanged himself in the bathroom with the belt of his robe. I am so sorry, but he's dead".
Mary replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry"
