Sunday was pretty amazing! Despite the fatigue from the Missions Boot Camp, and the lack of motivation to go for service and all, God was still able to do His work! He has once again shown His SOVEREIGNTY!

He had touched many hearts that day, both at Heartbeat Youth service, as well as at the Global Day of Prayer. 2000 years after the Holy Spirit was given to us when Jesus ascended to the right hand of God's throne, He has shown that he is real and in the present.

God reminded me of my missions call. Revealed His heart for the lost, for those who have not heard the gospel, for those who have harden their hearts towards Him, for those who have strayed away from Him. My heart broke at the thought of those who do not know the truth and those who have rejected it.

I was refreshed by the Spirit. I was actually looking forward to GDOP eventhough I was really tired. GDOP was great, by the way! A bit different from what I envisioned it to be, but God was in our midst, nevertheless. Praying for revival in our nation, for our impressionable children and youth, and praying for the nations.

Lord I stand in the midst of a multitude
Of those from every tribe and tongue
We are Your people on earth
Redeemed by Your blood
Rescued from death by Your love

There are no words
Good enough to thank You
There are no words
To express my praise
But I will lift up my voice
And sing from my heart
With all of my strength

*Hallelujah(x3) to the Lamb
Hallelujah(x2) by the blood of Christ we stand
Every tongue Every tribe Every people Every land
Giving Glory
Giving honour
Giving praise unto the lamb of God

Lord we stand by grace in Your presence
Cleansed by the blood of the Lamb
We are Your children called by Your name
Humbly we bow and we pray

Release your power to work in us and through us
Till we are changed to be more like you
Then all the nations will see your glory revealed and worship you

Bridge: Every knee shall bow
And every tongue confess that you are Lord of all, Lord of all

Dear mirror,

If you have anything to say to me, say it to my face. Don't be a coward and hide behind a pseudonym. Since you don't know the whole story, I suggest you shut your gap. Seriously. I'm in no mood to entertain your nonsense.

Dear Hum,

Maybe you SHOULD really get into acting. You're really good at victimising yourself, aren't you? Been practising huh? Please lah. If you wanna apologise, apologise properly, with more sincerity. Don't come and send me cheapo web smses. Anyway, don't think you still need me as your friend lah, hor? You've got so many people sympathising with you already.

It's just your luck for both of you (probably sisters) to catch me on a really bad day. Ha.

Wah... Was at the M1 shop at Prargon with my colleagues yesterday to return a mobile phone my boss loaned to tke to Japan..
The staff there ah... damn rude lah! So condescending! And their attitude is really horrible! Given that they're located at a high-end shopping mall, one would expect the service standard to be high. But nnnooooo... The guy at the front desk where you take your queue number was rude, the cashier has an attitude problem, and the custimer service officer, Ivan Wee, was so stuck up! I mean, SERIOUSLY, if you have an attitude problem, then DON'T go into customer service lah! Or maybe we weren't well-dressed enough for us to render good service. Or coz we're not ang-moh.
Rubbish man!

And so I wrote in to lodge a complaint. All I got was a cold response, apparantly apologising for their poor service but not stating any kind of action they will take to improve their service standard. They just gloss over the fact that their service suck!

This was what they wrote back:

Dear Ms Wong

Thank you for your e-mail of 29 May 2006.

Ms Wong, we understand your concern with the recent service experience with our staff from our M1 Shop at Paragon. We thank you for bringing this incident to our attention. We wish to extend our sincere apology for the service lapse.

We agree with you that excellent customer service is indeed very important. We note your comments on the service rendered by our staff and acknowledge that we could have handled the situation better. We will reinforce the importance of providing excellent service and offering appropriate solutions to resolve our customers' queries professionally.

If you have other queries, please contact our 24-hour Customer Service Hotline at 1627 (+65 96801627). Or you may write to us via the link below. E-mail sent directly to our mailbox will not be responded to as this e-mail address is used for outgoing e-mails only.

For more information, please refer to www.m1.com.sg

A well constructed email which doesn't answer my queries, nor does it give me any kind of assurance that M1 is going to do something about their employee's attitudes.

You're stylish, nimble, and good-looking. When it comes to having fun, there are few who can surpass you. And yet, you suffer from a lingering inferiority complex. Maybe it's because you have an older relative who is always in thelimelight?

On a happier note, Esther's wedding was so beautiful! She had like crystals and candles hanging off twigs and branches. Pretty! And they had the song I Finally Found Someone by Bryan Adams and Barbra Streisand. So sweet! And Esther looked so beautiful in her white gown with beaded bodice. Like 1/2 of the people at the wedding are YWAMers!Haha! The group was really big when they called for a picture with "Esther's friends and colleague". All from YWAM! Good stuff! =)

It's really good to see people that I haven't met in a while.
(For some, it was excruciating to see lost loves coming to the wedding with their new loves. How sad.)
Faith was the wedding planner and was great to see her as well! Roy's photo display outside the sanctuary was really well-done! And they had 2 chocolate fountains at the reception! But I only had time for a dark chocolate dipped marshmallow before I had to rush off to sing at SES for Missions Emphasis Fortnight. Would have love to stay to catch up with people. Hmm.. Must arrange must arrange.

SJSM dancers, you girls did well! Danced beautifully! =) Thanks for playing Zac!
Peishan, Karen, Gie, good stuff!

*Took many pictures with my phone. Am just too lazy to upload and blog. Heh. Comp's slow as well. =P
AARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!

I could just scream so loudly right now! But i won't. Lest my colleagues report me to Buangkok.

It's so ANNOYING!!! Seems like you're not really serious about going. I understand the need to meet him. I really do. But I really think you should get your priorities right. Will you die if you don't meet him for 1 week because you were doing something in preparation for the trip? Will he? Actually, I hope he does.
I hope I can cut you some slack as well. And probably my expectations of you are higher coz we share the same blood. Be more flexible can? If not morning, then meet in the evening lah.
You're not a kid anymore, you know! Can you please learn how to set your priorities right? Stop being controlled by him! Seriously, we all don't thhink he's very good for you. But obviously you think he's the best. Whatever lah. You never listen anyway.

It doesn't help that I, being itchy fingers, went to read some stuff that I wish i hadn't coz I'm not feeling very good now. Why was I so kaypoh? I should so stop doing stupid things like this. Sometimes, it's best to ignore. Not knowing is better than knowing and feeling this way. Is my importance dwindling?
Never mind.

Shit. This sucks.

Ranting

So call me sua ku.

Was at the World Bank Ops meeting this morning and I had a culture shock. The chairman of the meeting was so aggressive and business-minded.

Compared to the meetings I usually attend in church or at YWAM, this was a new thing for me.

Can really see the difference between a profit-driven organization and a God-centred organization's way of doing things. The focus is different (like duh!).
People were just discussing about how to lower cost and increase profts. Scrapping away things that are not profitable or don't make business sense. Being shrewd and aggressive so as not to be taken advantage of. And the tone the chairman used is so... serious. Things like, " I want to see it done by this date" or " you better take care of that". Scary. I mean, yah, this is how the corporate world works. But it's all new to me.

The attitudes are different. The dynamics are different.

Wow. Sorry ah, I'm still in shock.

My very first corporate meeting.

Total Randomness

Total Randomness

Yeah!

Finally got rid of Daddy's loapok phone (oops!) and got myself a snazzy new phone! Haha!
Happiness! Waited so long to get it coz Moo and I were planning to get it together. =)

Got ourselves new ProjectShop handphone pouches to go with our new phones. Heh. So vain right? =P

Thank God for His faithfulness and His presence at Sunday's service! Isabel and Bryner were really steady as well! No one could tell that they were nervous. Rite?.... =)
Great job!

So I'll be in church for all 3 days of the Diocesean Prayer Revival Meeting. Tiring lah. But am just happy to serve God this way. Praying for hearts to be right before Him. Praying against pride and self-glorification.

Bought a Fendi bag for Mummy for Mother's Day. Took a really long time to choose. Thanks Moo, for helping me pick a bag for my really fussy Mum. Heh. It's a hobo bag with a leather rope strap and leather sides, and the signature Fendi monogram in the centre. Kept wondering whether she'll like it coz she gave specific instructions about the size of the bag (Not too big, not too small), the colour (Black. If no black, then dark brown), length of the straps (Longer straps better), details (Most have zip. More secure. A lot of pickpockets in Genting, you know) and brand (Don't want Gucci lah. So common).

Her bag is:
- Dark brown (checked)
- Has a zip (checked)
- Not too bog, not too small (checked)
- Not Gucci (checked)
- Long straps (checked)

Was really worried that she wouldn't like the bag. (Actually I chose a bag that I kinda like. So that i can use it if she really hates it. Cunning, aren't I? =P)
But she liked it! Maybe coz her godson had a part to play in the selection process. Heh. Thank God!

Worship prac for Wednesday's PRM went really well! The band's great, and the girls sounded really good together! Not that SK and Johnson sound bad but they couldn't come for practice yesterday. Heh.

unselfish

That was the word that came to mind before I fell asleep last night.

Our GOD is unselfish. Selfless. Generous.

Sunday, May 07, 2006

DAD, I'm really sorry for my unbelief. I thought things were going well and dandy for me but You know truly know me better than I know myself. I'm sorry for putting You in a box because of my lack of faith. I can ask You for the impossible coz nothing is impossible with You!
Thank you for your faithfulness even in my unworthiness. Thank you that Your love for me has and will never waver. Teach me to put my trust in You. Teach me to ask You for the impossible. Use me Lord I pray even as I serve in the marketplace for this season.
In the precious Name of Your Son,
Amen.
******************************************************************************************
Johnson used this song during worship today and I just begun to understand what it means.
You said, "Ask and you will receive whatever you need"
You said, "Pray and I'll hear from heaven, and I'll heal Your land"
You said, "Your glory will fill the earth, like waters the sea"
You said, "Lift up your eyes. The harvest is here, the Kingdom is near"
Chorus:
You said, " Ask and I'll give the nations to you"
Oh Lord, that's the cry of my heart.
Distant shores and the islands will see Your light
As it rises on us.
*Oh Lord, I ask for the nations.

The Weaver - Anonymous

My life is but a weaving
Between my Lord and me
I cannot choose the colors
He worketh steadily.

Oft times He weaveth sorrow
And I in foolish pride
Forget He sees the upper
And I, the underside.

Not till the loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly
Will God unroll the canvas
And explain the reason why.

The dark threads are as needful
In the Weaver's skillful hand
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned.
I had that thought again just now.

First time in a long time. Not since a few years ago, when I was taking the pills.

Primarily for her to carry that burden of guilt for the rest of her life.

Made stronger by the sight of the open window in my room.

I'm sick of it all. Ending it might be the best solution.

Childish? Yes. Stupid? Yes.

I'm going insane. Push me any further and I'll retaliate in a way that no one can fathom.

Over-reacting? Maybe.

This might be the last straw.

Seen on a packet of jackfruit chips from Vietnam:

By a special system, the chemical substance (which one?) is not used in the manufacturing process for the fresh fruits processing into dried products in maintaining their nutritive facts (huh?), natural colours and flavours.

These products have also a good smelling and crunchy feature which will give a good taste and provide more nutritive facts (more what?), vitamin, mineral salt necessary to the organism and protect from the extra glucoza (er... yes...).

PMS

Dear Hum,

I am NOT depressed though you "heard" that my life's not well. I am doing pretty well and I don't need your sympathy.

Spare me the crocodile tears.

I really don't give a damn about your life, so quit sticking your nose into mine. It's extremely ANNOYING!

-June-

P/S: Also Don't snoop around my back trying to find out stuff about me when you don't have the guts to ask me yourself. Anyway, don't even bother to.

Tuesday, March 28, 2006

Dear June

Thank you for your interest in the position of Ministry Administator (Missions).
We thank God for your heart in serving Him in the area of Missions.

After much prayer and considerations, we are sorry to inform you that you are not shortlisted
for the next interview. We will keep your file for future reference and will certainly consider
you when there is a suitable vacancy.

May the Lord bless you and guide you in your work and ministry.

Finally some photos...

OMG!!!! I look like Lydia.... Lydia Sum (!!!!) wearing Moo's glasses!

Friday, March 17, 2006

My wound is much better now. All thanks to daddy! I showed him the pus and all and he just went to our corridor, where we place our plants, and plucked some leaves. Told me to crush them and apply the herb to the womb. Mum helped to bandage it. When I woke up in the morning to 'unwind' the bandage, I realized that the swelling went down and the wond was flat! I did the same thing last night as well and now my wound's pretty much dried up. Still sound quite gross lah, but it's really much better! Shall have Doc Ngiam look at it again Hehe....

Went for a meeting yesterday at Pico. They're going through some restructuring and the objective of the meeting was to inform who's going to which department. There'll be 2 exhibition departments and 1 events department and.. yours truly has been allocated as the main admin person for the events department!! I was shocked!
Was really swamped in papers yesterday from the 2 departments I'm helping out with and have totally decided that admin is really not for me. I mean, I really admire people like Lydia and my direct supervisor, Lily, for their eye for detail and their patience. Really amazing! I'm really not agaimst people who do admin but it's really not what I want to do! HR has already told me that if I like the working environment here, I can continue to work here permanently but I didn't expect them to throw me into administration!!!!
My mood was totally ruined after the meeting and found no motivation to go to work at all. Called Moo up to whine and complain (as usual). Sigh.. I really don't understand why they can't put me as Account Exec instead of admin! I asked this girl in EMS who's doing admin now and will be promoted to do sales after the restructuring whether it's a phase that one has to go through before they will release us to service accounts. She said 'sort of'. But when i asked the Account Execs over at SPD, they told me not to waste my time doing admin or sales at Pico. Apparently, I'll have better prospects at other event companies.
(It's quite strange that they kept raving about my degree...... They kept telling me that a degree holder like me shouldn't be doing admin...)
Think I'll go talk to my GM on Monday.

And continue to scout around for jobs... Sigh.. I was so looking forward to working here! I thought my job hunt's over.. But apparently not.. =P

Tuesday, March 14, 2006

Night cycling was really good! I'm surprised I managed to survive the whole event! Not without any accidents of course. I fell trying to remove my helmut at East Coast Park, on the way to Bedok jetty. So embarrassing! Josh and Elaine had to help me disinfect and bandage. But the bandage wouldn't stay coz of my perspiration. Sigh.

When we reached Bedok Jetty, my legs gave way when I got off the bike and I gloriously fell a second time! Aiyoh! So embarrassing!
My butt hurt. My thighs hurt. hands hurt. My wounds hurt.
But I enjoyed it! Really don't mind going for another one like that. Bryner, Josh and Alissa were really good leaders! Bryner's really steady lah! =) Mei, her friend, Vanessa (she's really pretty!), Dorothy, Hui Yi and Vic were in my team. Did I miss anyone out ah? Guess not.. =)

Okie.. This is the gross part.
So I grazed my arm and knee when I fell off the bike at ECP right. They're now oozing with pus-like stuff. Damn gross lah! Mum passed me this white Chinese herbal powder thingy to help try out the wounds. Looks really gross now coz I've got this whitish yellowy dried pus scab kind of thing on my wounds. They look like warts! Eeeeeeeeeeeeee........ So ugly!

Moo said he knew I was going to fall. That was why he kept telling me to take care. Heh.. What to do.. Mum calls me accident-prone. Heh heh..

I'M REALLY HAPPY TODAY!!! =) =)
HEE!
*BIG SMILES*
Totally smiling to myself. Can't help it. Don't know why. =)

Learning not to carry other people's monkeys.

I'm thankful for people and little things that make me happy! =)

Day 3 @ Pico

It's my 3rd day at Pico Art.

I know I sound really sian but I am pretty happy here. =) So far so good lah... The people here are nice, my direct supervisor's a wonderful Christian lady and I'm really enjoying my lunches with here. Am shared between the Special Projects Department (SPD) and the Events Marketing/Management side (EMS). I haven't made contact with the peeps from EMS so far because they've been real busy.

Was approached my the HR Manager this morning. She told me she's planning to offer me a permanent position if I find that I like the environment here after 2 months. Whee!!! But I'll be doing what I'm doing now (admin lor...) with EMS for a start, and then move on to doing more hands-on stuff (sai kang lah.. =P Basically things like procurement of things for events,..and stuff). Sound fun, doesn't it? =)
Suggestion to ask HR to employ me straight away as perm.. Haha.. Think I'm gonna wait till the end of the month to tell her whether I want to work here permanently.

Thursday, March 02, 2006

Met Jud by accident on Sunday while browsing alone at Library@Orchard! Went for coffee to catch up a bit because we haven't seen each other since her MPC graduation.

Was talking to her about what I want to do - marketing or PR, and she was saying that she's tired of doing market research and wants to venture into something more meaningful, something that will allow her to touch lives.
That got me thinking about my desire to want to work in the real world. I personally don't want to return to working in church till after I've got some experience working in the secular world. Especially so coz I want to do counselling.

Maybe I should review what I want to do as a career. Actually, I'm not a very ambitious person. Heh.. My primary concern now is to pay the debt I owe to my dad. He'll be turning 54 in July and it won't be very long till he retires, and I want to return him his CPF preferably before he does. Currently, I owe him $18k, and counting, for my uni fees. So basically, I looking for a job, not build up a career. Not very exciting hor? =P

Anyways, am gonna start work at Pico Art (ok ok.. I've heard pretty bad reviews about them so far.. heh) this coming Tuesday as a Project Assistant for 2 months. Hopefully, fingers crossed, they'll like me enough to offer me a perm position to do events management. =) And hopefully, toes crossed, that my precious Sundays won't be burnt!

Oh yah! Congrats Moo! =) I'll be behind you all the way!

The Beautiful Wedding

Saturday


Photos courtesy of Sarah Mok's webshots.. :)

Pris and Stephan's wedding is so sweet and touching! You won't believe how many times I teared during the church ceremony!

It was indeed a privilege to be their worship leader. Seeing how God is sovereign and faithful in their relationship really encourages me. The love of God and the fear of the Lord is really exemplified in their love for each other and His people.

Their dinner at Grand Shanghai's great too! The ambience is nice, the food is served in individual portions, music's old school reminiscent of the old Shanghai (also provided by Thmmay, the DJ for the night) and Andrea and Shawn make really good emcees! The couple also did the traditional waltz in their Chinese costumes! The celebration of the unification of a couple who overcame physical, cultural and spiritual boundaries!

Sunday
Had a fantastic lunch with some of my cell girls, and a guy. =) For some reason, Julia and gang won't able to make it for cell lunch, so it was Gayle, Rachel, Beatrice and Reuben. Think it was really divine intervention coz Pastor Stanley, Gayle's dad, spoke to me on Friday, after the tertiary cluster meeting, about the group dynamics within my current cell. The girls weren't motivated to come for cell because they don't feel comfortable, with the other group dominating the discussions (if we had any) during bible study.
Was really glad to be able to spend time talking to the "quieter ones" during lunch! It might sound wierd, but they're actually pretty normal kids! =P Heh.. I totally enjoyed it! (I wonder of they did as well..=)) I found that Gayle and I shared a common love for sweet stuff and she introduced me to Fried Mars Bar. Rachel spoke more during the outing than she had ever before during cell. Beatrice opened up so much! And Reuben is just a really sweet dude.
I've noticed this problem within the cell and have been trying to give more attention to Rachel and group. I don't know how else I can solve this besides splitting the cell and praying like crazy.
I do believe that differences can be overcome. Sounds idealistic, doesn't it?
God, I can't do this alone. I need You!

My Dogs & Bitches



































Monday, February 20, 2006

"If a commission by an earthly king is considered a honor, how can a commission by a Heavenly King be considered a sacrifice?"

- David Livingstone (Scottish missionary)

Wow... this quote blew me away when I heard it during YWAM Base Worship just now.

It's true, isn't it? How we think that having to leave our comfort zone, going into unfamiliar territory, quitting our high-paying jobs to be a 'poor' church worker or missionary are seen as "sacrifices".

As princes and princesses of the King of kings, it is an honour for our Father to commission us to do His will on this earth.
Joseph Chean, Base Director of YWAM said, he has stopped asking God "what is Your will for my life?". He now asks "God, how can You use what You have given me to fulfil Your dreams/visions/will?"

Difficult to fathom.
Hard to let go.
A struggle.
Flesh vs spirit.
World vs God.
Social expectations vs Godly obligations.
Pride vs humility.

"But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead."

Philippians 3: 7-11

Johnson read this yesterday after worship. Never knew what it meant until today.

Kangaroo pouches..

Found out from a friend about this unusual souvenir from Australia...

One of a kind Kangaroo Scrotum Pouch!
Friend says it's their way of controlling the population of kangaroos in Oz.

Really gross lah! But apparently "it's said to be very lucky; all those in possession of one is assured of a long life, happiness and healthy children". It's also "a great sign to attract an opposite gender".

So, why wait? Get yourself a lucky Kangaroo Scrotum Pouch, available at $15 a piece for the standard size, all the way to $41 for a huge pouch!
Or just bid on eBay! =)

Dreams

I've been having restless nights lately because I've been dreaming so much.

2 days ago, I dreamt about the embalmment of my late grandaunt, a devout Christian who passed away last year. It was really wierd and scary.

And yesterday, I dreamt about the death of my mum.
Curiouser and curiouser!

You Are Phish Food Ice Cream

You've been described as gooey and fudgey. Sorry.

Boredom

You Are Likely a First Born

At your darkest moments, you feel guilty.
At work and school, you do best when you're researching.
When you love someone, you tend to agree with them often.

In friendship, you are considerate and compromising.
Your ideal careers are: business, research, counseling, promotion, and speaking.
You will leave your mark on the world with discoveries, new information, and teaching people to dream.
