My 1st Hawaii Dance

MY FIRST D&D @ TIONALE

My dept - local and oversea colleagues

Yesterday was my company Dinner and Dance.

It was one of the D&D that so memorable that I hardly forget!

In one of the game seesion, in order to increase point for my team, I was " half sabo" by my team to go on stage and dance "Hawaii dance"!!

I can't imagine, wearing grass skirt and flower necklace and shake your body and dance in front of all my local and oversea colleagues...*OH~ really felt shy & embarrased *

I never imgine myself so daring and so sponteneous!

Wow..and guest wat in this competiton among four and i am the winner..
HAHA.. and help my team have a turning point toward first prize.

However i enjoy the whole session very much.

hm..after evaluate..Something that make me so daring to fight for my team could be "team spirit" !

:P Thank GOD for giving me this experience and understand important of team spirit!

Rebuke?!!Yes! Rebuke!

This week is not an easy week to me...
I fall sick again...sore throat...meantime doing yearly check up.

"Check UP" is my fear factor. for i know my stronghold is there!
However chk-up had done this wed. Result will be out next tuesday.

While waiting the result, i need dress up with faith to carry on daily in my life. I see the uncertainly is near. This time i thank GOD for drawing me closer to him.

Is not easy but i know GOD you will take care of me. Just now while we ( thomas and me) praying over the phone. God remind me this word " Rebuke".

did i rebuke against bad dream i have most of the time?
did i rebuke against sickness, negative thought that is hindering me?
did i rebuke?

I forgot!
Yes! REBUKE! we can rebuke and this is authority God had given us!

beside did i claim on the faith? and what bible say? Did i claim on his words?

Yup. Word of GOD can break the strongholds, bondages and bring complete healing and restoration.

Word Of GOD is the most powerful weapon for us to fight and attack against darkness and deceiveful heart/word/lies!

Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

Finally we pray together and rebuke it.

I believe prayer is not only pray. But i believe it truly bring forth power for there is GOD ppresence with us.

Lord I pray that u help me thru in this process and tough time. Lord I know, I confess and admit i am weak. But with how weak i am, i need u and i know lord you are my faithful Daddy.

Lord, You know i need support and encouragement, u send sis and bro around me to cover me in prayer and to encourage me and remind me of your goodness.
most important lord, you give yourselves to me that i can share w u anytime and anywhere!

Lord, Thank you for your love to me.
Thank you Lord! Emmanuel! Thank you Jesus!

Mission trip - hope mea-sod

I learn a lot thru this mission trip. This mission trip broader my view and mind. This mission change my perception and challenge my desire again. This mission trip is like a mirror reflect my life, my walk with GOD.

This mission trip let me know there are many ppl out there is in suffer, in struggle. Also this mission trip help me see there are many ppl out there live strongly and faithfully for GOD. They Love God very much.

When i saw them, i see my faith is nothing. For they truly live by faith and not by sight. When i saw their limitation and struggle and problem, i sympthy them yet they teach me GOD grace is sufficient for them.

Their life is believing and not seeing.
Their love is complety trusting in HIM.

GOD love is for everyone. HIS LOVE got no boundary that can reach out to different ppl !
In HIS LOVE, there is hope, strength, heal , power...everything

This is HIS Amazing LOVE AND GRACE.!

Photo-Seminar

Here some photos took during - seminar...at Pan Pacific Hotel

(21 AUG 2007) TIME 8: 45 am - 6:00 pm

~warm up session ~ * massage for each other*

.....

...
First Task

~ Get ready our hands ~
* try*

fail ~( *-*) ~ try again ~ fail~ try again~

When we got the instruction from instructor, it sounds easy to complete, therefore my group set within 20 seconds can complete the task, who knows ~ fail and fail~

Sound easy ya…the end …everyone started to blame each other … noise fill up the whole hall!!

Lesson for us learn:
1. When task can’t complete as what we plan, we start to blame each other/partner, blame the object/task, blame instructor (Frustration come). This situation help us know and identify our emotion and environment better.

2. Change : there are three things we can change : method, people and object or task
( when put into real life situation eg. Which are the one easier to change?)
People : hardly to change – everyone is unique
Object : job given hardly to change - unless u quit
Method : the most easier. We can change our method in doing thing and dealing with people.

Change Method starts with change our own mindset.
Sometime we are to comfort with our mindset and refuse to change. Rather change on ppl/task. Does it work?
Mindset is based on what we believe/ perception. So deal with our mindset. Be flexible and open and you will gain your creativity!

At Last we break e record... by changing e way doing it... ^_^

Second Task !

Divide into Three groups!

Let us look at other group how they turnover the mat without FEET TOUCH ON THE GOURND ~

ursh~ Tough ! some more so many ppl on the ground sheet~ !

Mission - Fail Again~ !

After explaination from instructor, we got one brilliant idea from one of colleague...

Solution : Combine!

You got idea? hee...

Result : not only break record of timing. But we archieve success together as whole Team.

*Lesson for us to learn *

We always limit by the resource in our working place ( Surround us) ...

We have to Identify the limitation : Space and weight ...
and look around other resource!

In order to get task complete, we got to get other resource outside- to support/ help in order to achieve the GOAL !

Last we have our lunch at "HAI TIAN LOU"

~~ Tell u..DIM SAM there is super delicious lo~~

& scenery also very nice lo~~

After Lunch...Gosh~ ! Another activity!

Communication

We are formed into few groups again . Each group are giving material to form a shape. The Shape must used up all rod (12pcs) and connector ( 6 pcs)

Discuss among the group: we are given 7 mins to discuss how to form a shape

WITHOUT using hand to communicate

( Is really test how u translate your message verbally)

After 7 mins, everyone will be blind fold.

Only one can open eye and do one task at one time ( Either plug it or remove it ) .one person only can have one action at one time. The rest can not communicate and see what the other doing. once you complete one action you may touch your neighbor to continue the task.

Our group communication not bad. formed a shape as per our idea…( see above) but when wiser blew.. We got to change to another Group…OH NO!

Oh no… shape formed by previous group totally wrong…shall we continue on or remove it… ?
(One person, one action – time limited) we are not given time to discuss, but to continue the object in front of us.

WHAT DECISION WILL YOU MAKE? Continue build the structure or remove it.
At the end…our group loses! We continue what on our hand…

*Lessons for us to learn.*

Communication is important. ( communication will face different barriers e.g different ppl digest info differently, diff language, diff way of comm…) will u still communicate?

When Changes come, how will u react pesonally or as team? (Eg. When ppl hand over their job to you,You see their matters of doing thing is wrong, will u follow and continue on ? Or will u start all over again?or will u runaway from responsibility? )

Will you start to blame to that person that hand over the thing to u in mess?
This really test your attitude and where your stand is!

(FINALLY ..DIAMOND SHAPE OBJECT FORM)

With Diamond Shape structure we had formed.. instructor put it on top of pile
and he want us go/pass through the structure without touching.

If object fall, we got to start over again!

This time round... even tougher !!!

how could that be! everyone got different sizes...some more can't touch the structure or hold it ..

hm...don't think everyone can make it...

When i start to wonder" HOW"... i got shock by their ( my colleagues) spirit!

They now do not look on their limitation..BUT THEY START TO TRY AND DO IT!

wow~! I SALUTE!

...BREAK THROUGH CAME!! To everyone!

Fail many time ..but they "ALL" PASS Finally!

we can pass the obj with few style :
1. top to top ( higher score)

2. top to bottom

3. bottom to bottom

(The above with blind fold - Mark will be additional four time - HIGEST)

~ Challenge ~

See ...

Helping hand! to help other to achieve success.. strike GOAL...

UNITY build up! Spirit lift up! Syngergy spear up!

..START GIVING HELP HAND TO EACH OTHER ..

YEAH !!! LAST WE Graduate with Certificate!

05.08.2007

Time flies...
Coming end of this week...just want to lay down my thoughts again..

When I reflect, realizing I have gone thru a "challenging" week...
Think none other word can best describe my week except this word ...CHALLENGING!!! ( i like to use this word, for it sound positive)

Beside with my hectic work... this week i have been thought and reflect a lot...( haha, my shepherd always said Don't over think/ think too much. else it will become worries. true la..Anyway don't worry, I will exercise my self control in my thought life)...

Ha ...when I look back my last month, amazing ya..some "little struggles" i have in me..now no longer holding me from moving forward..Thank GOD for his amazing grace and new mercy..Though i know this little struggle some time still appear , i know i can't avoid.. but with his perfect love... it no longer hunting my thoughts and heart...

This journey is not easy at all to me...require a lot of trust, courage, faith, hope..for a lot of thing is beyond what i understand and what i can accept. Sometime i question GOD, Why? Sometime i am wondering ..should i ... ?or How? Sometime I fall..Sometime i stand up again ..Sometime i found , Sometime i lose..some time ..have tear and pain, sometime have joy and comfort..

Many stages of life... this path full with many sour,sweet, bitter and spicy taste.

Lord, ...


My shepherd today taught me something...

Tell your every single feeling to GOD, tell him your every situation, tell him what you struggle, tell him how angry you are, tell him how hurt you are, tell him everything....everything.. but DONT EXPECT OR ASK FOR SOLUTION...

hm...we are living in fast space environment..everyone is look for instant & immediate answer ...Yes, we are trusting GOD yet we also look forward the answer or solution from the lord. Pray for his deliverance. Waiting and Expect the ans from him.. today? tmr? which year? when?

But don't our GOD know everything about us?..while we still in our mother womb, he already had plan for us.Plan to prosper us & not to harm us. Plan to fullfill his purpose and satisfy our soul...therefore don't he know his son or daughter need? ..for sure he will deliverance.

But what we need is to TELL and not ASK..tell him our everything is telling him we need him.tell him bring us closer to him and knowing he is GOD and knowing him in deeper way so that we wont deceieve by this world! for He himself is the solution! ^_^ ( ha..conclusion is build up a bigger trust in GOD and also changing our motive and focus)

Ok..Time to talk to GOD...hope u have great time chit chat with GOD as well...

GOOD NIGHT!

ministering night

Tonight I have great time fellowship with God and my bro and sis in christ
It was a ministering night to me.

"Knowing God is my all in my life. He is so "personal" to me !!! Before that although i know and understand who he is, but i hardly,seldom and may be can said didnt identify and personalize him so depth in everypart of my life..!! "

Is him, MY LORD bring me beside him..and see " where is he in my life" ..So amazing!

He is lord of my Life. He is lord of my situations. He is lord of my emotions, He is lord of my every circumstances ...in family, in work, in relationship, in finance...everything that I've gone thru, that I have , is belong to him and with his purpose and all I need to know is I have God in "all my need".

Understand him in many part of my life..i know i no longer want to let my own emotion to lead me..but LORD. i no longer want my situations to decide where should i go, what should i Do, but GOD the one decide ! i no longer want my fear,my past, my insecurity, my uncertainly in this life to lead me but GOD my creator! I am free in all for I have HIM, MY GOD, is in controling the wheel of my life.

The Lord is near!...Surely I know i should not take over his wheel.. for i don't know myself, my future ( only sometime know part and partial) but MY LORD know everthing for he hold my future ... he know my destiny ..

Finally, Is the matter I acknowledge and trust in him. is the matter I have faith in him and know that I have been full redeem by his blood on cross and gain eternal hope.Is the matter I know who he is and in which position i acknowledge him.

Praise to the lord for his faithfulness and his unfailing love to me.

Our GOD is an awesome God. He has HIS highest ways and thoughts than us that surpass our knowledge and understanding, if God can divide the red sea in OT, he reveal many wonders to many nations, surely OUR GOD will and can do the same in my life and your life. For i know my GOD is an unchanging GOD. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

My sources of strength, My source of Hope,

Is in Christ alone..Amen!

Lord i pray for giving me a sense of quietness and confidence in you may all these storm or wind may pass...

Jesus was thinking & praying for us

A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were ableto swim to a small, desert like island.

The two survivors, not knowing what else to do,agree that they had no other recourse but to pray to God.

However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful,they agreed to divide the territory between themand stay on opposite sides of the island.

The first thing the first man prayed for was food.

The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land,and he was able to eat its fruit.The other man's parcel of land remained barren.

After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife.The next day, another ship was wrecked,and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the land.On the other side of the island,there was nothing.

Soon the first man prayed for a house,clothes, more food.The next day, like magic,all of these were given to him.However,the second man still had nothing.

Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that his wife and he could leave the island.In the morning, he found a ship dockedat his side of the island.The first man boarded the ship with his wifeand decided to leave the second man on the island.

He considered the other man unworthyto receive God's blessings,since none of his prayers had been answered.

As the ship was about to leave,the first man heard a voice from Heaven booming,"Why are you leaving your companion on the island?"

"My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for them,"the first man answered.

"His prayers were all unanswered, and so he does not deserve anything."

"You are mistaken!"the voice rebuked him.

"He had only one prayer,which I answered.

If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings."

"Tell me," the first man asked the voice,"what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?"

"He prayed that all your prayers be answered."

For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone,but those of another praying for us.

When Jesus died on the cross he was thinking of you!

A Blind Girl

Sometimes you read something and it makes you stop and think…
And then you want to share it with everyone you care about.
Please read this and share it with the people you love…

There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boy friend. He was always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boy friend.

One day someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she could see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boy friend asked her,” now that you can see the world, will you marry me?” The girl was shocked when she saw that her boy friend was blind too, and refused to marry him.

Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying.

” JUST TAKE CARE OF MY EYES PLEASE.”

This is how humans change when their status changes. Only few remember what life was before, and who has always been there in the most painful situations.

THE ANT AND THE CONTACT LENS

A true story by Josh and Karen Zarandona

Brenda was a young woman who was invited to go rock climbing. Although she was very scared, she went with her group to a tremendous granite cliff. In spite of her fear, she put on the gear, took hold of the rope, and started up the face of that rock. Well, she got to a ledge where she could take a breather. As she was hanging on there, the safety rope snapped against Brenda's eye and knocked out her contact lens.

Well, here she is, on a rock ledge, with hundreds of feet below her and hundreds of feet above her. Of course, she looked and looked and looked, hoping it had landed on the ledge, but it just wasn't there.

Here she was, far from home, her sight now blurry. She was desperate> and began to get upset, so she prayed to the Lord to help her to find it.

When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her clothing for the lens, but there was no contact lens to be found. She sat down, despondent, with the rest of the party, waiting for the rest of them to make it up the face of the cliff.

She looked out across range after range of mountains, thinking of that verse that says, "The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth." She thought, "Lord, You can see all these mountains. You know every stone and leaf, and You know exactly where my contact lens is Please help me."

Finally, they walked down the trail to the bottom. At the bottom there was a new party of climbers just starting up the face of the cliff. One of them shouted out, "Hey, you guys! Anybody lose a contact lens?"

Well, that would be startling enough, but you know why the climber saw it? An ant was moving slowly across the face of the rock, carrying it on it's back.

Brenda told me that her father is a cartoonist. When she told him the incredible story of the ant, the prayer, and the contact lens, he drew a picture of an ant lugging that contact lens with the words, "Lord, I don't know why You want me to carry this thing. I can't eat it, and it's awfully heavy. But if this is what You want me to do, I'll carry it for You"

I think it would probably do some of us good to occasionally say,"God, I don't know why you want me to carry this load. I can see no good in it and it's awfully heavy. But, if you want me to carry it, I will."

God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called. Yes, I do love GOD. He is my source of existence and my Savior. He keeps me functioning each and every day. Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him... I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. (Phil. 4:13)

Is IT? :D

(enjoy reading..kekeke:P)

BF : What do you want to eat??

GF : Anything will do......

BF : Ok, chicken rice then.

GF : But I don't feel like having rice leh....

BF : Ok, mee goreng then.....

GF : Don't want, too oily.....

BF : Fishball noddle soup....

GF : Yeeeee...So plain....

BF : Then what you want???

GF : Anything lor.......

=====================================

Me: What do you don't want to eat? Rice or Noodles?

Wife: Er..don't want rice

Me: Ok, so anything with noodles is fine?

Wife: Yes

Me: Soup or dry?

Wife: Anything

In the end, we still couldn't find out what she really wants.

=======================================

Another scenario when going shopping with girl,

girl: (holding up two clothes) which one is nice?

boy: the blue one looks nicer

girl: is it? I thought the black one is more classy

boy: I agree, take the black one then

girl: But then, the blue one looks quite nice too

boy: yeah

girl: which one is better ?

if boy answer 'black', girl will say he keeps changing his mind and never shows sincererity and care. If boy answer 'blue', girl will say, " told you that the black one looks more class"

But no matter what the boy says, the girl will eventually choose the oneshe has already decided beforehand. A lot of the times,the girl might even put the two clothes back (after extensive trying) and says not interested anymore. really don't know what she wants.

This is quite true but not totally. Not all the time girls are like this.

AGREE GALS OUT THERE WHO ARE READING THIS?!!

kekeke :P

The Road of life

The Road of life

At first I saw God as my observer, my judge,
keeping track of the things I did wrong,
so as to know whether I merited heaven or hell when I die.
He was out there sort of like a president.
I recognized his picture when I saw it, but I really didn’t know Him.

But later on, when I met Christ,
It seemed as though life were rather like a bike ride,
but it was a tandem bike,
and I noticed that Christ was in the back helping me pedal.

I don’t know when it was that he suggested
that we change places,
but life has not been the same since.
When I had control,
I knew the way.;
It was rather boring,
but predictable...
It was the shortest distance between two points.

But when he took the lead,
He knew delightful long cuts,
up mountains, and through rocky places
at breakneck speeds,
It was all I could do to hang on!
And even though it seemed like madness,
All He said was ’Pedal’.

I worried and was anxious and I asked,
’Where are you taking me?’
He laughed and didn’t answer,
and I started to learn to trust.
I forgot my boring life
and entered into the adventure.
And when I’d say, ’I’m scared,’
He’d lean back and touch my hand.

He took me to people with gifts that I needed,
gifts of healing, acceptance and joy.
They gave me gifts to take on my journey,
my Lord’s and mine.

And we were off again.
He said, ’Give the gifts away;
they’re extra baggage, too much weight.’
So I did, to the people we met,
and I found that in giving I received,
and still our burden was light.

I did not trust Him, at first, To be in control of my life.
I thought He’d wreck it; but he knows bike secrets,
knows how to make it bend to take sharp corners,
knows how to jump to clear high rocks,
knows how to fly to shorten scary passages.

And I am learning to shut up and pedal
in the strangest places,
and I’m beginning to enjoy the view
and the cool breeze on my face
with my delightful constant companion
Jesus Christ.

And when I’m sure I just can’t do anymore,
He just smiles and says....’Pedal.’

WHY???

Easter day - 2007 ( sunday)

Below Video clip touch me a lot...

WHY

WhyArtist: Nichole Nordeman

Album: This Mystery

Year: 2000

We rode into town the other day

Just me and my Daddy

He said I'd finally reached that age

And I could ride next to him on a horse

That of course was not quite as wide

We heard a crowd of people shouting

And so we stopped to find out why

And there was that man

That my dad said he loved

But today there was fear in his eyes

So I said "Daddy, why are they screaming?

Why are the faces of some of them beaming?

Why is He dressed in that bright purple robe?

I'll bet that crown hurts Him more than He shows

Daddy, please can't you do something?

He looks as though He's gonna cry

you said he was stronger than all of those guys

Daddy, please tell me why

Why does everyone want him to die?"

Later that day the sky grew cloudy

And Daddy said I should go inside

Somehow he knew things would get stormy

Boy was he right

But I could not keep from wondering

If there was something he had to hide

So after he left I had to find out

I was not afraid of getting lost

So I followed the crowds

To a hill where I knew men had been killed

And I heard a voice come from the cross

And it said, "Father, why are they screaming?

Why are the faces of some of them beaming?

Why are they casting their lots for My robe?

This crown of thorns hurts Me more than it shows

Father, please can't You do something?

I know that You must hear My cry

I thought I could handle the cross of this size

Father, remind Me why

Why does everyone want Me to die?

When will I understand why?"

"My precious Son, I hear them screaming

I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming

But soon I will clothe You in robes of My own

Jesus, this hurts Me much more than You know

But this dark hour I must do nothing

Though I've heard Your unbearable cry

The power in Your blood destroys all of the lies

Soon You'll see past their unmerciful eyes

Look there below, see the child

Trembling by her father's side

Now I can tell You why

She is why You must die"

Cooking day

....Our cooking day....

It was a first time , we ( thomas and me) cooked with them (steven P and Edna)

indeed we enjoy the process and enjoy the foods.

Both of them really cute...Don't like to eat rice,..vege..onion..xxx. :D

However we come to know them more..this is where our friendship built again..even stronger..i guess..:D

Thank God for this friendhip..and opportunity.

Even though the journey's long

And I know the road is hard

Well, the One who's gone before me

He will help me carry on

After all that I've been through

Now I realize the truth

That I must go through the valley

To stand upon the mountain of God
