stories of the 3 lifts

stepped into the first lift.
- someone pee-ed.

second lift came
- someone walked out with a lighted cigarette. smells.

third lift finally opened
-a packet of coffee splashed all over the ground.

i wonder to myself. How inconsiderate can people be?
sigh.

for that moment, i wished i was staying on the 5th floor so i can take the stairs.

i climbed kinabalu!

in my dreams.

hahaaa.. ya, missed my chance of climbing this year. In fact, i missed it twice now. I remembered Ame inviting me to climb in the beginning of the year but i missed that too.

now, i can only read about it. hahaa..

i'll be there someday. =)

it is definitely fish's favourite day! caught it with ame and kitty this year! missed jojo in the crowd!!

had a yummy scoop of Chocolate Fudge Brownie™

so yummylicious... made my day! happy sugar rush!
did you get your scoop today?

where can peace be found?

"⁴Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
⁵Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. ⁶Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ⁷And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

⁸Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. ⁹Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

in times of uncertainties, in times of jaded-ness...

1) Rejoice in God

2) Present your requests to God! (pray)

3) Think about praiseworthy things!

4) Rest in God's peace

=)

what's so good about Good Friday?

G-od's son
O-beyed
O-ffered His Life
D-ied and rose again!

This is the GOOD news!
Good friday is good because..

1) Jesus sacrificed His life once and for all
2) Our sins are forgiven
3) We can go into the presence of God directly!
4) Satan is defeated
5) God's love for His people shown
6) God and sinners reconciled
7) and .. it's public holiday! - you are enjoying it as much as i do right?

Remember the meaning of Good Friday and make it a truly Good day by placing your life in the hands of Jesus who died for you even before you knew Him.

"I had come so that they may have life and have it to the full" - quoted from Jesus from John 10:10b

5 loaves and 2 fishes

a miracle.
5 loaves and 2 fishes to feed a multitude of hungry people.
1 GOD worked through 1 boy who gave all he had.
corrine may's song beautifully piece out the story of
the boy, his GOD and the miracle.


A little boy of thirteen was on his way to school
He heard a crowd of people laughing and he went to take a look
Thousands were listening to the stories of one man
He spoke with such wisdom, even the kids could understand

The hours passed so quickly, the day turned to night
Everyone was hungry but there was no food in sight
The boy looked in his lunchbox at the little that he had
He wasn't sure what good it'd do, there were thousands to be fed

But he saw the twinkling eyes of Jesus
The kindness in His smile
And the boy cried out
With the trust of a child
he said:

"Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and my inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all to feed them all"

I often think about that boy when I'm feeling small
And I worry that the work I do means nothing at all

But every single tear I cry is a diamond in His hands
And every door that slams in my face, I will offer up in prayer

So I'll give you every breath that I have
Oh Lord, you can work miracles
All that you need is my "Amen"

So take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and my inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
I hope it's not too small

I trust in you
I trust in you

So take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and my inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
No gift is too small

Thanksgiving =)

multiple thanksgiving. God is indeed a God of miracles!

What would you say?

Peter's Confession of Christ

Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi.
On the way he asked them,
"Who do people say I am?"

They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets."

"But what about YOU?" he asked.

"Who do you say I am?"
Peter answered, "You are the Christ".

Mark 8:27-29

fish answered, "You are my friend, my everything..."

Winter Wonderland

i wonder how it feels like now if i'm wrapped in fleece and feet warmly covered by fluffy socks and tough leather boots, trampling through the winter wonderland.

Irony... sigh. I wish I could be immersed in a snowy winter wonderland when I am in a sunny wonderland. i remembered how much i wanted a warm Christmas when i was wrapped in the thick scarf...

Yes, it's the time of the year again! The season of wonderful lights, the season of giving and receiving, the time when toffeenut latte re-appears in the starry Starbucks.

I miss my friends at such a time. I wonder what everyone's doing at this point in time. We are so far apart and i miss u so. I wish we could gather. I wish i could be over to all my friends' home. Virtual friends. I've accumulated so many of them, and will be having more.

Nevertheless, I thank God for such a beautiful season, a season that brings Hope, a season that brings Life, a season that brings Joy. Thank you for your greatest gift- Jesus.

My Vacation

wow. ten days flew by so quickly. i'm back.

Weather in Taiwan and Hong Kong are great! Feels like walking in huge air-conditioned room all day. We traveled so much in this trip. Short visits in every big city. Went to many night markets and ate soooo much as we shopped.

Met up with family friends in Kao Shiong. I think that's the part of the trip i enjoyed most! haha. Meeting up with nice good friends is really enjoyable and meaningful.

Taiwan- truly just sightseeing. Getting to know some historical backgrounds and geography of the land. Good to know more about other countries! Enjoyed the sceneries. Loved the feeling of being surrounded by mountains all the time. Beautiful.

Hong Kong- shop, buy, eat. Just like Hong Kong's tourism board's tagline "shop & eat". There was nothing else to do there!! The shopping was good. Lots of variety and things are cheaper there. I guessed i would have enjoyed more if their service can be improved! Food was ok. However, I still prefer our own dim sum and roast pork in singapore! hahaa.. At least we wouldnt be screamed at if we were too slow or fast in placing our orders! sigh.

Vacations are always good. A break from the norm. Stragely in this trip, I find myself missing home as i travel. Maybe it's the fatigueness of shopping and getting up early. Anywayz, glad to be back. =)

Goodbye my Friend...

Attended ronald's memorial service today.

He was called home to be with the Lord. I was so shocked when i received the message. Couldnt believe my eyes. Called jean and repeatedly shouted into the phone.. "this is not true right??!" Well, the truth is that he is gone.

Ling, ronald's sister read out one of his last journal entries during the service. I'm so glad to know that his faith and trust in the Lord stayed strong even at the last part of his life. Pictures of him were flashed on the screen. Tears kept flowing. Yes, we all ask why. we all want to know why. we know life is unfair. but i know that God makes sense, even when life doesnt. God's plans and ways are higher than our own.

Jesus said "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going."

Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him." John 14:1-6

Yes, this is the hope. I know i will see him again in my Father's house one day.
