YOU PERVERT!

It's been a while since I have laughed so hard. Me and a number of colleagues were trying to teach another colleague how to react when she encounters a pervert. Apparently, there was a pervert this morning who was staring at her boobs most of the time while she was trying to check his power. So, that sparked of a funny discussion and sharing about 'how to react to perverts'.

Our final conclusion and her most important lesson was when she encounters such incidents was to scream first regardless of whether it was a real case or not. Another colleague also shared about her encounters with perverts and how she handles them. Won't wanna be a pervert around her I can assure you. ;)

Dinner Last Night

Had dinner last night with a church friend whom I got to know recently. It was a really good one. I was thinking at first that it would be one which I would be doing most of the talking and ministering to him. But it turned out otherwise. He did most of the talking, and though he was not intending to minister to me, he actually did it most of the time.

He had been born again for about a year and attending church since. But his values and beliefs showed otherwise. He seemed to have been a Christian for a long time. I found myself listening in to whatever he said cos they really spoke to me. His simple approach to life, his faith in God, together with other virtues really impressed me. It's like God is reminding me all over again that "Hey Christian life doesn't have to be so difficult and complicated."

Even though his interests and hobbies differ greatly from mine, I felt for the first time they seemed to give me a different view to life and things. All these coming from a twenty one year old! I quickly had to change my attitude of 'come, let me teach or impart to you a thing or two' to 'wow, I am really learning a lot from you'. Well, I guess it's more of being reminded than learning new stuff. It's refreshing (and at the same time convicting) to hear someone speak his beliefs and faith about things I once very much believed it. Think I would wanna spend more time with him in the future. :)

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled!

Simple but powerful truth!

Chang Mai

So it is confirmed. I'll be going to Chang Mai for missions trip in October. Not too sure if I am really excited about it but I guess I really should be since I have been 'MIAing' for so long. God help me......

Ryan Higa

This is, in my estimation, one of the best comedians of all time. The video above had barely been posted 10 days and the views have hit close to 2 million. Enjoy!

1 COR 1:8,9 (NLT): He will keep you strong to the end so that you will be free from all blame on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns. God will do this, for he is faithful to do what he says, and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Simplicity

These are my 2 additions to my pathetic watch collection. My colleague saw my ck watch today and commented that I seem to like simple uncomplicated watches. I told her it was because it reflected my character: simple and nice. Well, she disagreed. She said that it was because I was too complicated inside that was why I like simple designs. ;) Well, I guess the people around me seem to know me better than myself.

Nice Tattoos

Maybe I ought to have something like that. ;)

Five Things I Hate About Myself

Okay, I know this ain't gonna help with my self-esteem......

1) My face. Too much blemishes.
2) My body. My head is too big. I am too small built.
3) My age. I feel too old.
4) My self-esteem. I am too insecure.
5) My accomplishments. I feel like I have hardly accomplished anything in life.

Stuck

Not too sure what I am feeling right now. I feel torn between my wants and what God wants for me. Not that I am very sure of what God wants for me but I am quite certain it excludes many of what I want. For example, it's slightly more than a year since J walked out on me. Right now, I still yearn for J. I know well that this is not what God wants for me but still I can't help missing J from time to time.

I think being stuck in the middle straddling between the two is the worst place. Even if I decide to go my own way and find out (or maybe knowing all along but ignoring) at the end of the road I have been barking up the wrong tree, at least I would have accomplished something. Or better still, if I could just dump my feelings and follow God all the way, I know at least I have lived my life to please Him. Right now, having two legs in two boats and them moving further and further apart is hurting me right in the middle!

Somehow I can't find myself going in either direction. I can't seem to move on with God without jumping right back to my former life. Neither can I just immerse myself totally into the former life without feeling downright miserable and meaningless in life. I have been in this place for some time now. God I really need HELP now! Who will save me from this wretched life????????

Food For Thought

I was just thinking to myself today. If I am miserable either following God or following myself I might as well be miserable following God. At least in the end, I get to please one side. Okie, more misery to come......

Hong Kong Trip 3

 This was me the day I left for HK. Think it was 5 plus a.m. Can tell right?

 All of us waiting for the tram to go up to the Peak.

 Lucky woman!

 From Ocean Park

 Taken from Beijing Club, a disco. Should have known from the name it's a place not worth going to!

 The only interesting thing that happened at the disco was the police inspection. We were listening to the music when the whole place went quiet and an announcement was made. It was a police inspection and we were told to keep quiet. Fortunately there were no mainland Chinese there or they would have been arrested for not keeping quiet! It was really like a Hong Kong drama. I think there were like 10 over plain clothes police with a police vest over them. Cool man. They went around checking people's id. Thank God my best friend and I brought our ic along. That was the only fun part about the club. The cover charge was expensive and the bartender was rude. Pui!

Hong Kong Trip 2

Sigh, I would have loved to say that this was a superb trip. Unfortunately, I couldn't. To start with, I was feeling sick most of the trip. Had a sore throat on the first day of my trip. Managed to get rid of it but my lungs had been uncomfortable since. So my mood had been pretty dull since. My best friend asked me a couple of times if anything was wrong cos I was really quiet throughout.

Then there were the mainland Chinese. Hong Kong is pretty much infested by them. I used to think that their speaking loudly was already bad enough. I experienced a whole new level of agony when I was in Ocean Park. Okay, I pretty much got used to the 'noise' level. Then I had to contend with the pushing. My goodness! They hardly have a personal space at all. I can't tell just how many times I had been touched and pushed by them. They cut queues whenever they can. To be frank, they really make us Singaporeans look very good. So glad that I live in Singapore.Makes me wonder if I'll ever step into Hong Kong again. The sight of them really disgust me.

Okay, enough about the bad stuff. Hong Kong is a pretty nice place and the food's pretty good. Went to eat roasted pigeon and it was fantastic. We also went to the Peak and the scenery was splendid.

Oh no, ain't got much other good stuff to talk about. Hmmm, no wonder I did not enjoy myself that much. Anyway, don't think I'll go to Hong Kong again anytime soon unless they decide to ban the mainland Chinese from entering. Hmmm, tough call......
