Wish list?

Different ones have been asking... Most of which have been bugging Vic for it. But he bugs me for it too!!

Seriously, I dunno what I wanna wish for.

Sarah specially brought twisties and chips to adult camp for me have been enough for me actually. Already felt very loved. Ha. Thanks Sarah. :)

It seems like a yearly affair that I remember this. Like a ritual, the memory of that one birthday gift would be brought to my mind each year during my birthday. It's still the best gift. I dun quite understand too. Just very simple yet it etched deeply in my mind and heart. Reason is simple too. Cos I birthed and loved them with all my heart, yet I lost them prematurely. What's left is the lingering tinge of sadness telling me that I am still living.

So what do I want? I dun mind LV bag or wallet or pouch. HA! Or what about the Coach pouch that I so covet for? Hmmm... Time to devise an evil plan to steal my sister's one. O, I gotta preach to myself the sermon again. HEH HEH. Or how about Lowe bag? Ok. Ok. Enough of branded goods. Let's talk about Xbox, Play Station and Hi-Fi set... Are you sure you still want to know what's my wish list? Cold feet liao right? HA!

I am a simple person. Buy me anything that you think is suitable and nice for me. Students, seriously, you can just buy me tidbits and I will be OVER THE MOON for the whole month. And Miss Chang-Er would have been able to return to earth and her lover for a month. LAME. Working adults, get me anything that you think i shld try or suits me. I am willing to try. At least it gives surprises. :) What is birthday without surprises? Haha. 

FYI, the NUMBER ONE turn-off gift for me has always been VOUCHERS. No one has overthrown that yet. Dun give me vouchers and ask me to choose my own present! That's how different I am from Siang and my Sis. I'm rather impractical(?). But if you are talking about LV/Gucci/Lowe/Chanel vouchers it's a different thing. That would certainly make my brand-conscious hubby reali happy. Ok ok. For my hubby's name sake... it shld be "That would certainly make my hubby reali happy cos he reali likes his wife to be wearing branded stuff all the time." That's my hubby. Does all guys think like that? Hehe. But I am happy as long as he's happy. 

Ok. Does this post give you a slight idea what to buy for me? Beyond all the material stuff, pls pray for me and my online biz to prosper too!! Anyone that has thought of buying me anything has already make me feel very good. Thanks all!!

God is good.

On my way home

Just ended CGM not long ago. Mark came and join us. I didn't conduct a
good cgm.

Oh ya. Today I shocked Tim by asking him to play praise for Cinthia.
Kinda impromptu. He tried his best. Even though he wasn't prepared, he
said yes readily to playing his first praise for CGM. *clap*

Birthday coming!

Woo Hoo!! Vic suggested going Sentosa next week for my birthday on Tuesday!!! God must have arranged it that there's a combine leaders' mtg will be on Mon instead of Tue!!! YEY!

Anyone wanna come along?? Pst YK, Wenling & Simon are coming along. Join us if you available!!

:D

3 and a half years

was praying and this came to my mind just now. Jesus had his ministry for 3 and a half years before be was crucified died and was buried. I find this so true even in our walk with God.

When I first came church. The first few years, abt 3 years, a lot of faith issue was tested. Then the first 3 years of being a cgl, alot of testing in conviction. Then the first 3 years of being on staff, a lot of moulding and decision to make. Then the first 3 years of marriage, a lot of leaving and cliving. All these events required a dying to self, and sometimes personal aspirations to achieve something greater than myself.

I thought that is "wow". Isn't it true man. If you choose not to die to yourself then what greater things do you reali think u can achieve by yourself?

So dun get discouraged. Die with Jesus and you will also rise with Him. Amen.

I'm very curious

I'm very curious to find out. It is where rubber meets the road. As my dear friends, i trust that you will be truthful to me.

Have my blog entries ripped your faith apart?

Have my sharing stumbled you?

Or have I encouraged you?

Or have I led you to thoughts and revelation of how good God is?

Pls be truthful. You can PM me if you are comfortable that way.

Frankly, I find it rather absurd to think that anyone would feel so discouraged after reading my entries. FYI, some close to heart entries are limited to people who are supposed to be closer. Well, at least I know now, some are simply not that close after all.

As I write, I feel sad. But this will not stop me from blogging. The day I decided to blog, I told myself I am doing this for a purpose. I may not be able to preach to a great congregation, but I can preach with my life.

Having know me all these years, you judge. Have I fallen? Am I not still standing after all that I have been through? The torment I used to live with before i came to CHC. The issues that I had to deal with after coming CHC. The depression I had to handle while on staff and in SOT? The learning process (or the overcoming process, I call it) that I had in handling admin and ldrs. The health issue last year.

Am I not still standing? Am I not?

I may look weak, and share abt my weaknesses but I am definitely not weak.

If you want to abound, you need to also know what it means to abase. Cut the crap about looking and being strong all the time. I have no short of weaknesses but I am not a weak person. 

After all these years, I see many rise and fall. I am still standing. Why am I still labelled "weak"? Actually, I don't quite care, cos I know I am strong. This time, I won't let go again of what I think is right. I know why I have started and I know what I want to achieve. Call me arrogant. Just let me be this time. How many times have I been found arrogant and full of myself? I have my whole life to prove you wrong and I am not in a hurry. Are you?

Greater is He who's in me than he who's in the world.

And he who kneels most, stands best.

God is good.

Nothing much today

Nothing much today. Just lazing around. Went shopping at AMK but only bought a box of mint and dental floss.

My greatest achievement today is my jog in Bishan Park. Ran 1km in 5min. Quite a feat for Yvonne the skinny, whitely, and weakly. HA! But of cos I didn't just jog 1km. I jog for another few hundred meters before walking another few hundred meters. All that took abt 30min. Phew. *pat* Good job, gal!

It's time to sleep before I get too hungry to fall asleep. But I guess it shld be good sleep tonite after the wonderful but tedious run. Nite!
