Philippians 1:29
For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but to suffer for him.

John 16:33
" I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."


Philippians 1:29 was one of the verses that uncle Jimmy shared tonight. This verse spoke to me somehow. We are to suffer for Christ. Deep down in my heart, I already know that I need to get discomfort to serve him. At the same time God assured us that He had overcome the world. We do not have to worry about the troubles that we are going to face.

Frankly, I had experienced God's provision very much, God's protection and guidance through many incidents and situations. I still remember that incident, happened last year which I felt hurt for a day plus. It took me few days to forgive that person. When I thought back now, no more thorns in me. Instead, I'm happy because I earned friendship and I experienced God once again.

This year started with happiness but somehow, I'm afraid that some thing might kick off the unhappiness. Yea, though God had assured me again and again that He will not give me things/ problems that I cannot bear, or He had overcome the world, I still tremble. Human kan?

There was an illustration given by uncle Jimmy today, about catfish and codfish. Catfish is codfish enemy, in order to make the codfish meat taste better, people put a catfish into the school of codfish. So then, the catfish will chase the codfish and they will "run" around. hehe... So some times problems are making our lives better and problems spice up our lives.

So, why am I afraid of problems? Haiz... I read another relevant passage today. But I'm lazy to post it up. Maybe I should. Let's see...

By nature, we are sight-walkers, not faith-walkers. We tend to have confidence in that which we can see, that which we have known. We fear that which we can't see and haven't known. Not only does Israel refuse to go into the land because of the giants - the Israelites want to return to Egypt! Do they not remember that they were slaves there? Do they not remember that they cried out in tears to God for deliverance from Egypt? You can't go back to your old life. There is nothing there but bondage. Your hope lies in following the Lord by faith. Walk forward.___read Numbers 14.


My term will be we are visual learner. We need visual prompts to do things. Look at the road signs, the phone and PC icons and etc..

Badminton

Yeay! We made it! We played for 2 hours! Hahah...Jin Ann you're cool man!!! Thanks for accompanying me for 2 hours! haha...

Hey you, yes you!!! Thanks for coming too. Haha... hope you did enjoy playing with my sister. Next time will play with ok? Sorry ah, kind of neglected you! Hahaha...

Thanks darling for joining us too. It meant so much to me because other sports that you go i can't go. Swimming, you don't want. So this really meant so much to me!

Uwing, sorry lar. It seemed your skill is too great and none of us can match your level. But thanks for coming too!

For myself, of course i enjoyed it very much! It's training! I'm training my coordination. I forgot to wear specs. I couldn't really see it. That day i wore specs also couldn't aim. Sigh...sad case.

Play more ya guys! I can't play alone right? sigh... sister will be leaving soon. Nobody will accompany me. It's very hard to find activity partners. People are working. So it's very hard to find time to play. Hope this Saturday can go again.

Thanks guys for coming once again! You all spiced up my day! Another great picture formed with all of you! *hugs*

Things that can make me Feel Better

I just found out that going online can cool me down when I am feeling sad or frustrated. I really can feel better even right now. Yes, I was quite frustrated just now. Half way through, I suddenly feel that I'm not that frustrated anymore. When I'm in such states, what I wish to do is to go workout. That day I was not in good mood, I went badminton with my sister and another friend. After the game, I felt much much better. I became happy again. Tomorrow we are going to play again. I'm looking forward.

Hmm...Yesterday was Valentine's Day. Kok Ming and I did not go out. He was on call. So I stayed at home online. People who were online last night, kept asking me the same question==>
"You not going out tonight?"
I replied," NO."
"WHY?"
"Because he is working."

This conversation repeated so many times from different people. At first I still could remember who asked me this question. After the 4th time, I lost count already. Haha... This evening, one of my colleagues asked me where I celebrated Valentine's Day, then i burst out laughing. Oh man! Haha...

I'm not sad because we did not go out. Instead, I'm happy that we are still together after so many years! A few days ago, a friend called me. We did not talk to each other for very long. We updated each other and he asked about my work, and he was surprised that I'm still working at the same place. He said I'm very loyal. ha..He asked if I'm still with the same guy and of course I said,"Yes."

Haha...Imagine, We did not talk to each other for about 3 years if I'm not mistaken. Many things could have happened to break me and Kok Ming. I really thank God for His guidance and for sustaining us! This year is our 7th year already! 5 years distance and now is the second year we did not depart! Thank God! Really thank God!

Nearly

I nearly let the theme wall press my emotion button. The theme wall dropped today!!! Oh man, once i entered the center, I saw everything dropped. I was kinda pissed off by all these things. After a long break things became like this!

My sis and I tried to put it up again and we tried using the 502 glue. Hope it can hold the theme wall through out the year! Hope tomorrow when i enter the center i wont see the same thing as this morning!!!

I was trying to control my frustration. I cooled down then started crapping again. We had some fun together today! An adventurous day for some body.

HAPPY VALENTINE's DAY!!!

Coffee's Fault

I'm feeling very very dizzy! I just can't take coffee. Not that I do not like it, it's my body, sigh... may be it's too strong for me. My hands are shaking! My vision is quite blur, as if i'm drunk! Sigh... Stupid coffee!!!

Chinese New Year, it's great! Have been meeting a lot of old school mates. Last time used to click quite well with them. Hmm... I was really low profile. Many people actually do not even know who I am. Maybe they do not even know tat I exist. Yes, my profile is that low! One of my classmates commented to other friends that day, he said my profile was REALLY, REALLY low. He repeated a few times. Hmm... It's ok, I really do not mind to certain extend. When I was young I seldom mixed around. I seldom talk also. Now I considered myself talk a lot, a lot already!

Frankly, I do not have a GOOD friend. Hahaha... I chose not to have one I guess. It's my problem. I find it hard to trust human! I was betrayed so many times. I just do not have the courage to own one.

Anyway, I'm glad that I still can meet them and they still remember me. Haha...felt very awkward that day because long time did not see them, now suddenly met up. haha..That kind of feeling was really weird. Imagine, we departed when we were 12 years old. Hahaha...now we are already 25. *phew*
