after 4 months of S I L E N C E.......................

hahahaa...
wah...been long since i blogged...super lazy lah...ahahaa
also duno why i suddenly blog today...haaz...
anyway...time really flies...in less than 1 mth, i'll be in citi for 1yr le...fast sia...and within 4mths...many stuff happen...happy, sad, watever...haaa...activities after activities...if not boring-ness after boring-ness...hahahaz...recent activities were Bangkok Trip with Credit Operations, Citibank Dinner and Dance, KCPSS Youth Outreach! all were great! really enjoyed them, especially D&D...cos i was in the main committee to organize it...soo really happy that it was a GREAT success! heez...i believe many who attended also said that too...
i'm in charge of the prizes..have to get sponsors to sponsor lucky draw prizes and other competition prizes...i managed to get a few of my own contacts...like il-Lido dining vouchers, Namho Travel Vouchers, and even trophies for the top 3 winners! hee...others will be the partners or merchants of Citi...i really learn alot being in the PRIDE Team [it is a team of people who organizes the few main events for Citibank Singapore Ltd...actually this team consist of all MA-Management Associates(super smart and all-rounder people) as it is one of their MBO...but i kpo volnteer to join...cos i wana learn to organize events..really fun lor...but not easy...]...people are fun...but i guess it's difficult to merge into their culture...after all, they are all MAs...i'm juz a normal employee of citi...it's already good enough to know them liao...they will have the opportunity to know and frequently communicate with those big shots in the company...anyway, really happy to know them though...
oh yah...did i say this week is Sabbath Week? this means no church activities/meetings etc...full week of rest days for us! wow...seem so different...i meet up with more frens...tue we youth leaders in my region had a leaders' outing at Botanic Gardens...on mc...so rested whole dae at home first den evening go find them...Wed met up with a colleague (one of the new MA) and our common fren Sey Long! we happen to find out we know the same fren! hahaz...thur after my gym i went to meet my grp of gd sec sch frens! we went to have fun at Mind Cafe! fun! heez...so funny...there's a 'new' member joining our group...actually she's one of our sec sch fren too...funny...she keep teasing me n CK...keep saying i'm his 9yrs ago past...haa...yup that's true...but maybe she didnt noe we became best of frens now...too good frens till we noe we canot be together again...haaz...plus i have my other reasons too...haaa...cos got 7 of us (many more not around)...got 1 couple...1 'might-be' or 'to-be' couple, me n ck, and this new addition...so she keep teasing us...thought can bring about a spark...haaa...anyway ck n the rest also tease her back...cos her 'past' (actually i not sure if now is present) is also in the grp but wasnt with us on thur...we played a game called Imaginiff...quite fun...about guessing what type of person the chosen one in the grp each time is...the cards will have different questions...e.g. Imagine if XXX is a kitechen utensil, what will he/she want to be? (there will then be a list of options to choose from)...majority wins...fun...it helps us get to noe each other better...whenever is guessing abt me, most of them got it...haaa...but not many of guessing me though...most of guessing ck...haaz...
k dat's abt what was done...now for what's coming up next!
Friday (later) will have another round of games in the evening...@ Settlers! some kinda like Jinguo's farewell with his net...n i'm taking over his net...he's gona go NS liao...sad...anyway taking over this net is a big challenge for me...but i have God with me...so i noe i can do it!

juz updating~

hiyah! wow...been nearly a mth since i last update...my last update was about my new yr resolution?heheh...anyway i guess no one reads lah...haaa...so update is juz only for the sake of updating...haaz...
hmmm...one month has just past just like that...time really flies...many things happened...but shall not elaborate...haaz...
oh yah...another 1mth plus i will not need to put P Plate liao! woohoo!hahaaz...*watever...juz being random*
hmmm...got some thing wana mention about that happened today...actually many things happened...and really...God is amazing in revealing things to me...that i prayed and want answers for...and i got it! Amen! k...nvm abt that...
what i wana say was that the sermon today was about demonstrating compassion...we even prayed for the people on our left n right for God to intill in them compassion...not those fake ones...but the real compassion from God...n wow...God touched my heart...was taking bus home today...sunday afternoon...not alot of ppl...so got a seat behind but near the back door...was observing ppl in front...then, i saw an aunty (quite old liao ba) came up the bus...saw her limping abit...but what caught my attention was her cheerfulness...she found a seat in front...so sat down...but at the next stop, she saw another woman (more elderly than her) came up the bus...she quickly stood up n let her take the seat! so nice of her...den she limped to the standing area...smiling still...happy that she can give up a seat to that older grandma...then at the next stop, someone from the front got off the bus...so she limped back...sitting down...her smile never leave her face...(wanted to give up my seat for her...but she found it again though)...then about a stop b4 i was going to alight...another odl aunty came up the bus...and once again...this cheerful lady stood up and offered her seat...wow...she's just so full of compassion...she's soo nice! and always put on a smile too...at that moment i really preparing to stand up and let her take my seat...but...seeing her inconvenience in walking (my seat need to go up 2 steps before you reach the seat...)...sigh...i feel helpless...but then, she was also making her way to the back door...(she's alighting i thought)...her left hand at that time was holding on to the pole...and one more thing i noticed in her other than her smile and inconveniencd caused by her leg...her left wrist...it looked super swollen!oh my...at that moment i really feel tears in my eyes...a huge burden in me to pray for her...(i didnt pray with her though)...but immediately i keep praying for healing for her In Jesus Name...i really pray so hard for God to heal her right away...cos i noe the Lord loves her alot too...i was constantly looking at her wrist and prayed...was also trying to find a change to hold on to her while i said my prayers...then cos i gotta alight(same stop as her)...i stood beside her...the door opened...automatically i held her right arm to hep her down the bus...can also see that she was having some difficulty in alighting...can see her pain from her left wrist lor! yet she's trying to get down using her left hand to hold her weight!hmmm...i thank God for giving me a chance to hold on to her to help her down...though only that few seconds, i believe God will heal her! n guess wat? she was super grateful to me helping her down!she said she thought she might have to go up and down twice before really getting down the bus...and she was really happy i helped her...she didnt expect someone would help her...i felt soo happy...i felt happy that the Lord puts such a burden in me to care for her...n oh yah! she even asked me whether i've had my lunch...she wanted to give me a treat! oh...how nice this lady is...so sweet of her...but i was super full...so i didnt went with her...awww...but she's really nice lah...she made my day! i really pray and believe in God to heal her...not only her wrist...but her leg too...and i'm happy that the Lord gave me such a great compassion for even strangers in me...wow...Thank U Lord!
hmmm...yea...this is something i felt worth to blog about...i also pray that many of us will also be able to demonstrate compassion towards others...
k some inputs from service notes today...Demonstrating Compassion! (just a part of the whole service)
Defn of Defination: Deep awareness of suffering of Others coupled with the wish to relieve it; Sympathetic consciousness of other's distress, with a desire to alleviate it; Quality of understanding the suffering of others and wanting to do something about it; the desire to free others from their suffering.
Some pointers to note on Compassion:
1) God is Compassionate
2) Jesus whole Ministry was a Demonstration of Compassion
3) We are to live a life of Compassion
4) It is to be a lifestyle
5) We are to look out for the interests of others
6) Pure and undefiled Christianity is to respond differently from the world - not a self-focus & pride; Not act with partiality
7) God's protection is removed when we ignore the needy, Prov 28:27
8) We will One Day be judged on the basis of our compassion to the needy, Matt 25:31-46, James 2:13
9) Genuine love for God will demonstrate Compassion, 1John 5:2

Afew of the many pointers of Understanding Compassion:
1) Being concerned for others more than ourselves
2) Personal value of selflessness
3) Giving without expectation of return
4) Requires a Godly response : - Non-judgemental; forgiveness; acceptance; mercy; love
5) It is a God idea...NOT a Good idea

Treat demonstrating compassion as a lifestyle!!!


will stop here...God Bless n Love u!

wahzzz...

wow...i was amazed by how God is protecting me...not only physically...but also emotionally! anyway u might find it nothing great...but i find it something great and i really thank the Lord for it...k...i was home not long ago...and right after steeping into my home for less than a minute...i suddenly saw my maid rushing to close the window...n guess what i saw? i super huge downpour which is just so sudden! yah...though now it stopped...but wat i meant was just now...if i were to walk abit slower or went over to my aunty's shop (which actually i wanted to but didnt see her when i walked past), i would have caught the heavy rain...and i tell u...i guess i will really be even more demoralized and depressed...and i guess i might even start to cry...but The Lord protected me...He knows i must have felt lousy and might cry any moment...and also to protect me from getting sick (if i were to be caught in the rain)...yeah...i really felt that way...though i wasnt thinking much for the past couple of hours...but i noe n guess if i was caught in the rain juz now...i would have cried...
anyway...i feel so lousy cos i 'failed' at an interview today...the job there is a v gd opportunity...but i really duno where i went wrong...sigh...i sensed a bad feeling...plus the interview was the shortest one i've had as compared to all my other interviews...sigh...really sad...i actually rejected one of my rejected job offer cos i really hope to get this...but...nvm...i told myself not to regret when i decided to reject that job offer...so i am not to regret! hmm...oh i noe i 'failed' cos i asked the one who referred me to this opening...sigh...oh yah...i was told by the interviewer that i look v different from my pic in the resume...she said the resume pic look more matured...n my current look so much younger...*izzit???*...haaa...i see no diff...
hmmm...anyway...i'm still waiting for another job to reply...wonder if i will be shortlisted for 2nd interview...i also just send my resume to another company...hopefully there's a chance of getting a job soon...
i musn't feel sad...yah...but yah...juz now after the interview i really nearly wanted to cry...n guess wat?to de-stress...i went shopping!!!spent alot...but thank God that i used the vouchers my ex team members gave me...heez...
