Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved.

I'm sorry Lord. Forgive me ...

Has Christianity Failed You?

2010-11-20T01:05:00.000+08:00

DD: You write, “God does not disappoint us. We often disappoint him and ourselves.” This seems to suggest that our relationship with God is based on our performance rather than his grace. And if God is all-knowing, aren’t his expectations of us viewed through his promise that he who began a good work in us will be faithful to complete it? In other words, can we disappoint God?

RZ: It’s interesting how we attribute emotions to God, whether it’s an effect or whether it’s an affection that he feels. We can only take God at his word. His analogical use of language is for us to understand God, such as, “How often I have longed to gather you together, but you were not willing. What more could I have done for you that I have not already done?” “If you crucify the Son of God all over again and subject him to public disgrace, no sacrifice for sins is left.” Jesus looks on the city of Jerusalem with compassion, and the entire appeal he makes is in the fact he has done so much for them and yet they have responded with so little appreciation and love. When you look at Old Testament books such as Hosea, Malachi, and Jonah, you see the disproportionate response of his people to the abundance of grace God bestows.
I think that’s why even the story of the prodigal son does not have a happy ending. He has come back, all is well, let’s have a celebration. But now you’ve got the older brother, who messes it up. It’s sort of one of those good news/bad news situations. The good news is that my son who was lost has come back. The bad news is that the fellow who stayed with me is still messed up.
So I think we must understand God’s feelings by analogy. In terms of disappointing God, I do not mean that we therefore catch him by surprise. Rather, he would have to say to us, “What was it that kept you away from me?” The emotions of adoration and appreciation are legitimate emotions for a returning child of God. That’s what I think we need to be thinking of. The analogical use is to evoke within us a sense of, “’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved.” I think that’s a marvelous use of language— using the one expression to show that God induces in us both fear and release from guilt.

1 Corinthians 13

2010-11-20T01:01:00.004+08:00

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails.

If you were to replace [LOVE] with my name, that make me a liar. If you were to replace [LOVE] with Christ, it makes senses.

We are fall short of the standard. Only thru His grace we are able to fill loved and to find the strength to love others.

Remember the heart.

1 JOHN 4:18 - 19

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because HE first loved us.

Love seeks the benefit and well-being (edification) of another, so much so that it is willing to make a personal sacrifice to facilitate it.

I guess this speak right into my soul.
"Lord, im giving my thanks to you, before i speak, you know what is weighing in my heart and on my mind. May you grant me the strength, the courage and thee love to withstand through all these. In your Name, i praise. Amen."

The greatest of loves will never come cheaply.

It takes everything you have to honor that love
and everything you have to honor that trust.

And the greatest love that any of us could have is our relationship with God.

The Fruit Of The Spirit - Longsuffering

2010-06-14T00:23:00.001+08:00

DEVELOPING LONGSUFFERING
A. THROUGH LOVE...
1. It is love that "suffers long" - cf. 1Co 13:4-8a
a. Unless we love those who have wronged us, there will not be sufficient motivation to bear with them
b. Therefore love (active good will) is fundamental to being slow to avenge wrong
2. By growing in love (to remember how, cf. 1Th 4:9; 1Jn 3:16), we will grow in patience!

B. THROUGH PRAYER...
1. Paul evidently believed prayer would help the Colossians to have "all patience and longsuffering with joy" - Col 1:9-11
2. Certainly the God who is longsuffering (cf. Ps 145:8) will strengthen those who desire to be like Him!

God's Love

2010-05-23T16:25:00.002+08:00

Does He withhold His love if you didnt love Him?
No. His love is everylasting, forever and more.
He wait patience for your return. Loving you and watching you from behind afraid that you'll fall. Afraid that you will hurt yourself.

God is always there. He is stable. He is secure.
Let's anchor our security upon him and cast our eyes on Him.

This is my prayer Lord, that I'll love you with all my hearts, my minds, my soul and my strength.

Amen.

2010-05-23T03:47:00.003+08:00

I thanks thee for the moment.
Whatever is the outcome, I'll trust in Him.

Let Your will, not mine, be done.

Amen.

Jesus Calms the Storm

2010-05-23T00:42:00.001+08:00

23 Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. 24 Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.
25 The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!"

26 He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?"
Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.

Peace and Joy

Romans 5 (NIV)

3Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

Ecclesiastes 3:11

11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

Courage

QUOTE OF THE MONTH
"Some men have many reasons why they cannot do what they should do, when all they need is one good reason why they should." – Greg French

LIFE THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH
Courageous Courage - Insights into courage.

Persistence
Perhaps the most important aspect is the courage to endure, to persist, and to hang in there in the face of doubt, uncertainty and criticism from others.

Patience in Adversity
"Courageous patience" – is the willingness and the ability to stay on track in the face of uncertainty, doubt and criticism. Men need to stand firm, and refuse to bow to the possibility of failure. The turning point of many key moments in human history have been the resolution, or lack of one person standing firm. Courageous patience is the acid test of strong men.

Be An Example
Encourage others and instil confidence in them. To help others perform at their best requires first of all that you lead by example. Demonstrate courage.

Allow Mistakes
Risk is where courage excels yet also should a courageous act become successful, you need to give yourself permission to fail.

Become Unstoppable
Courage comes from acting courageously on a day-to-day basis. Your personal goal should be to practice the behaviour of a totally fearless person until you become, in your own mind, unstoppable. Courage is the mark of a REALMAN in action. So lead the way and be courageous in all that you do.

MEN AND HEALTH

Exercise isn't just for stronger muscles it can also sharpen your brain.

A new study published in the journal “Neurology” examined the effects of exercise on brain deterioration of Alzheimer's patients. The researchers found physically fit patients with mild cognitive impairment had less brain shrinkage than those who weren't as fit.

Previous studies also showed exercise improves thinking and memory, in people with normal brain activity, by boosting blood flow and elevating growth hormones.

So talk a 30 minute walk 3 times a week and it may help you remember where those car keys are and how to get home.

MEN AND RELATIONSHIPS
Managing Anger

We live in an over-crowded, over-stressed world with traffic jams, financial pressures and rude people. That’s life and the reality for most of us.

To address anger effectively you need to stop thinking the world revolves around you and. Ask yourself: Is the urgency you feel as strong as you think? A false sense of urgency stems from self-importance. Why should things have to be the way you want them? When you think the whole world revolves around you, then everything takes on an exaggerated importance and sets you up for an explosive moment - an outburst of anger.

Learn the art of self control and manage anger more effectively

Look for the warning signs. We don't blow up out of the blue. Our bodies’ first exhibit signs, such as a tight chest, butterflies in your stomach, a racing mind, sweaty palms. Recognize the signs so you can intervene before you lose it.

Understand that you are slowly killing yourself every time you get angry. When you become enraged, the chemistry of your body changes, making you more susceptible to ulcers, multiple sclerosis, lupus, arthritis and other illnesses to name a few. That’s a good motivation to calm down.

Why do angry people lash out? Because they don't have the words, concepts or abilities to express their frustration in an appropriate way. Consider alternative ways of venting your anger, such as taking a deep breath or doing exercise in the heat of the moment to control the potential outburst.

Finally to better manage your anger, recognize that you have a problem. Anger is an outward expression of fear, hurt or frustration. Start to understand that the real problem usually has its origins in the past and you need to stop blaming your immediate circumstances as the problem. In most cases of repetitive anger outbursts there is a root cause from your past that triggers the inappropriate behaviour.

Remember this men, anger is a position of weakness not strength. REALMEN harness that energy and direct it more effectively to product positive outcomes in life.

In prosperity our friends know us; in adversity we know our friends

2010-03-04T23:41:00.005+08:00

Character is still King
The fundamental glue that holds our society together is the quality of character. Your character is the crystallization of your true values and beliefs, your innermost convictions.

Choices and Decisions
Everything you do in life involves a choice, a decision on your part. Because you have so many options, you are constantly choosing between what you value more and what you value less. Your choices and actions tell you and others what you truly value the most and reveals your character.

The Core Quality of Character
The core quality of character is integrity. This can be measured by how honest one is with himself and others. The depth of your integrity largely determines the strength of your commitment to each of your other values. A man of great character is one who would never compromise those values under any circumstance.

The Need to Lead
The greatest need we have today, in every area, is for men to practice the values of integrity, discipline, responsibility, courage, and long-term perspective, in the workplace and in their families. These are the key qualities of leadership. Our society needs leaders at all levels that have high moral character, and know the difference between right and wrong.

ACTION EXERCISE
The true mark of character in a man’s life is that he sets standards for himself and refuses to compromise those standards for any reason. He sees himself as a role model for others. He behaves at all times as if everyone were watching, even when no one is watching. What standards do you want to uphold in your life and business as a REALMAN?

MEN AND HEALTH
After dinner heartburn may not be just a temporary pain in the chest. Before you dismiss that post burning in your chest (heartburn), know this, that it could be an indicator of constricted blood flow in the heart. How many of us as men tolerate the discomfort of heartburn and do nothing about it.A study in the International Journal of Cardiology reveals that untreated heartburn can lead to a heart attack. Scientists analysed the ECG readings and acid levels of 50 people suffered from regular heart burn and noted a 20 percent greater incidence of blocked blood flow in the heart when acid levels rose. “Reflux triggers the nerves that constrict blood vessels,” says John Elefteriades, Cardiologist. It is in your best interest not to suffer in silence with heart burn but consult your doctor. It could prevent a possible heart attack.

MEN AND RELATIONSHIPS
Friends are critical for a man’s wellbeing and emotional health. We have all heard about “quality and quantity” in relationships. I was reading a book recently which said that we are a society that is time poor and in relationships we must continue to prioritise quality as the champion in building strong healthy relationships. I agree yet I do not know a great friendship that has not been firstly built on quantity, spending time in building that friendship. We can say we are all time poor and excuse ourselves from spending time with our friends but unfortunately we will never build a strong friendship on this basis. Time is needed (quantity) to build those great friendships.If you value friendship you will have to invest time into it to get the best out of it. Quantity is an absolute in building relationships.

LIFE THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH

2010-02-02T23:20:00.000+08:00

Take a good look at where you are positioned in life and make some well informed decisions about your future. If you need to make some radical decisions, do it in 2010. It’s time to become all that you know you were meant to be.

Leading and Leadership
The ability to lead as a man, husband, father and friend is characterized by honesty, truthfulness, and straight dealing with every person, under all circumstances. This requires that you be impeccably honest with yourself and others. As Emerson said, “Guard your integrity as a sacred thing.” Integrity lies at the core of being able to lead, at the heart of every man. Everything you do revolves around the person you really are on the inside. And the person you are inside is always demonstrated by the things you do and say on the outside.

A leader is to be a good role model who leads by example and is someone who walks the talk and lives the life. He always carries himself as though everyone is watching, even when no one is watching. Good leaders are completely reliable. People can take them at their word and trust that they will do what they say. They make promises carefully, and then always keep their word.

And finally, the leader understands that the mark of integrity in human relations is consistency, both internal and external. The best leaders are consistent from one day to the next, from one situation to the next. Because of this internal consistency, these leaders are trusted and people know what to expect. There are no surprises.

So lead on in 2010 as REALMEN should.

MEN AND HEALTH

Gym Talk
I have noticed that so many guys who attend a gym can become so preoccupied with building their arms and chest that they can so easily neglect their lower torso. I find it remarkable that guys can’t see how out of proportion they look when they neglect to train their legs. Men need to understand that our legs (gluteus, quadriceps, hamstrings and calves) are all important in maintaining body stability and balance. So don’t neglect those muscles when training. Complete your physique and give a more balanced strength to your body by training those legs.

The world out there is so huge. There's so much more that I can do.

QUOTE OF THE MONTH

2009-09-12T12:32:00.000+08:00

""A man can get discouraged many times, but he is not a failure until he begins to blame somebody else and stops trying."

LIFE THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH

Empowering people is the key to building the lives of those around us. Once you empower someone by learning how to motivate and inspire them, they will want to be around and assist you in any way they can. Your decision to empower others will also benefit you because you first chose to serve others before yourself.

There are three types of people that you need to empower on a regular basis. They are, first of all, the people closest to you: your family, your spouse and your children and also your friends. Second are your work relationships: your staff, your co-workers, your peers, your colleagues and even your boss. Third are all the other people that you interact with in your day-to-day life.
So how do we empower people?

Always be positive. Empower means "putting power into," and it can also mean "bringing energy and enthusiasm out of." The first step in empowering people is to refrain from doing anything that disempowers them or reduces their energy and enthusiasm for what they are doing. There are things you can do every single day to empower people and make them feel good about themselves.

Next, satisfy their deepest needs. The deepest need that each person has is for self-esteem, a sense of being important, valuable and worthwhile. Everything that you do in your interactions with others affects their self-esteem in some way. You actually already have an excellent frame of reference to determine the things that you can do to boost the self-esteem and the sense of personal power of those around you. It’s simply giving them what you'd like for yourself.

Finally, express appreciation regularly. Perhaps the simplest way to make another person feel good about themselves is your regular expressions of appreciation for everything that person does for you, be it large or small. Say "thank you" on every occasion.

Thank your spouse for everything that she does for you. Thank your children for their cooperation and support in everything that they do around the house. Thank your friends for the smallest acts of kindnesses. The more you thank other people for doing things for you, the more things those other people will want to do for you.

This is what community is all about. Be a person of influence by empowering those in your world.

In conclusion, here are two things you can do immediately to put these ideas into action.

First, continually look for ways to make people feel more valuable and important. Say things to others that you would like others to say to you.

Second, express appreciation for everything anyone does for you, large or small. Say the words, "thank you" on every occasion.

The Equilibrium Law

2009-09-06T23:25:00.002+08:00

There's no free lunch in this world.

You want something; you need to give up something else in return.
This is the law of Equilibrium. Hard work and sacrifices are required. Make up your mind now, what you really want, then pay the price for it.

God is fair. Want something? Work hard for it.

DREAMS

2009-07-12T23:48:00.002+08:00

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.

But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for.

I a little too excited about this movie. Even now after watching it, I still way too excited =x

I first caught the trailer at Taiwan Xi Men Ding, and then on SG TV commercial!
YEA~! I love the show totally. Laughter, joy, tears, tensions and dance! Grins

For those who are working hard to pursue your dream, this show will give you some encouragement =) Like one of the movie song - Far a away by Kumi Koda, the lyrics is sooooooooo meaningful.

Some direct translation of the lyrics:

you can do it everyday
Quit looking back on your good old yesterday
Let's focus on today which is real

I can see
The path I have taken is correct
Even if there is a detour, the goal is the same

FOCUS

2009-06-05T10:50:00.001+08:00

Friday, Jun 5th, 2009 -- No matter how determined you are now to walk your talk, distractions at work can pull you off your carefully considered course. Every fork in the road is exciting because each path that leads in an unknown direction touches your soul and calls your name. Nevertheless, it's crucial for you to keep reminding yourself that you are on a mission. You won't reach your desired destination if you explore every good idea on the way.

PATIENCE

2009-06-04T23:38:00.001+08:00

Outlook

2009-04-16T23:11:00.000+08:00

Thursday, Apr 16th, 2009 -- You are the one that others look to because your practical outlook is just what they need. It seems as if your workmates have been inefficiently running around and today they have to play catch up, so they come to you for assistance. If you have been doing your job all along, now you are ready to slow down a bit and relax. Nevertheless, you'll still probably help out your friends if they need it. Just don't do it begrudgingly; do it because it comes from your heart.

CHANGES

2009-03-29T09:11:00.004+08:00

The Story of Changes

Be assured of this:
when you do decide to change and set out along that path,
many of the people around you will not like it.
Merely by changing, your presence will challenge them to change.

No man achieves great success who is unwilling to make personal sacrifices.
To change, you must give up something in return for another;
There's no short-cut in life.

The story of eBay

A fren was talking about how eBay works. Millions of people are selling/buying stuffs on the world wide net. How do eBay verify their identity or rather their creditability?

The answer is: they dont! They build eBay on a simple belief: That all people are good.

Its a simple concept but that make eBay works!

There is good in all people. Have faith.

----------------------------------------
And Te Story I kop from Boss blog LOL =x

Again, expressed best by Gigi, another character from the movie..
"Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up. If a guy punches you he likes you. Never try to trim your own bangs and someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending. Every movie we see, Every story we're told implores us to wait for it, the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule. But sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. How to tell from the ones who want us and the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave. And maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe... it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. Maybe the happy ending is... just... moving on. Or maybe the happy ending is this, knowing after all the unreturned phone calls, broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment you never gave up hope."

Quizz from Khai~

2009-03-15T12:40:00.001+08:00

Your view on yourself:
Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

khai, seems like we are quite similar? muhahaa

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't;
If you like to win, but you think you can't,
It is almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose you've lost,
For out of the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will -
It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are -
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man;
Bu soon or late the man who wins
is the man who thinks he can.

I have not forget how I when to get my hand on this book.
First a friend recommended it. "ok, might be a good book, hmmm"
Then another friend recommended it. hmmm, should be good.

One morning, I saw a lady reading it. What really caught my attention was, she's crying...

And So, i read that book in a night... and i cried too....
Its a very simple story, of a man struggles. The struggles that we all face in life...

This sadness you read in my eyes is part of my story.

Only a small part that will last but a few days.

Tomorrow, when I depart for Jerusalem, it will not have the

strength it had before, and little by little it will disappear.

Sadness does not last forever when we walk in the direction of that which we always desired."

Is it always necessary to leave?"

"It's always necessary to know when a stage of one's life has ended.

If you stubbornly cling to it after the need has passed,

you lose the joy and meaning of the rest.

And you risk being shaken to your senses by God."

"The Lord is stern."

"Only with those He has chosen."

Ecclesiastes 3
A Time for Everything

1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:

2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,

5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,

7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,

8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

听过五月天的新歌了吗？。。。

作詞：阿信作曲：阿信

最怕空氣突然安靜最怕朋友突然的關心

最怕回憶突然翻滾絞痛著不平息最怕突然聽到你的消息

想念如果會有聲音不願那是悲傷的哭泣

事到如今終於讓自己屬於我自己只剩眼淚還騙不過自己

突然好想你你會在哪裡過得快樂或委屈

突然好想你突然鋒利的回憶突然模糊的眼睛

我們像一首最美麗的歌曲變成兩部悲傷的電影

為什麼你帶我走過最難忘的旅行然後留下最痛的紀念品

我們那麼甜那麼美那麼相信那麼瘋那麼熱烈的曾經

為何我們還是要奔向各自的幸福和遺憾中老去

突然好想你你會在哪裡過得快樂或委屈

突然好想你突然鋒利的回憶突然模糊的眼睛

最怕空氣突然安靜最怕朋友突然的關心

最怕回憶突然翻滾絞痛著不平息最怕突然聽到你的消息

最怕此生已經決心自己過沒有你卻又突然聽到你的消息

珍惜一切就算沒有擁有

[稻香] 詞：周杰倫曲：周杰倫

對這個世界如果你有太多的抱怨

跌倒了就不敢繼續往前走

為什麼人要這麼的脆弱墮落

請你打開電視看看

多少人為生命在努力勇敢的走下去

我們是不是該知足

珍惜一切就算沒有擁有

還記得你說家是唯一的城堡隨著稻香河流繼續奔跑

微微笑小時候的夢我知道

不要哭讓螢火蟲帶著你逃跑鄉間的歌謠永遠的依靠

回家吧回到最初的美好

不要這麼容易就想放棄就像我說的

追不到的夢想換個夢不就得了

為自己的人生鮮艷上色先把愛塗上喜歡的顏色

笑一個吧功成名就不是目的

讓自己快樂快樂這才叫做意義

童年的紙飛機現在終於飛回我手裡

所謂的那快樂赤腳在田裡追蜻蜓追到累了

偷摘水果被蜜蜂給叮到怕了誰在偷笑呢

我靠著稻草人吹著風唱著歌睡著了

哦哦午後吉它在蟲鳴中更清脆

哦哦陽光灑在路上就不怕心碎

珍惜一切就算沒有擁有

還記得你說家是唯一的城堡隨著稻香河流繼續奔跑

微微笑小時候的夢我知道

不要哭讓螢火蟲帶著你逃跑鄉間的歌謠永遠的依靠

回家吧回到最初的美好

[歌詞] 周杰倫-說好的幸福呢
作詞：方文山作曲：周杰倫

你的回話凌亂著在這個時刻
我想起噴泉旁的白鴿甜蜜散落了
情緒莫名的拉扯我還愛你呢
而你斷斷續續唱著歌假裝沒事了

時間過了走了愛情面臨選擇
你冷了倦了我哭了
離開時的不快樂你用卡片手寫著
有些愛只給到這真的痛了

怎麼了你累了說好的幸福呢
我懂了不說了愛淡了夢遠了
開心與不開心一一細數著你再不捨
那些愛過的感覺都太深刻我都還記得

你不等了說好的幸福呢
我錯了淚乾了放手了後悔了
只是回憶的音樂盒還旋轉著要怎麼停呢

你的回話凌亂著在這個時刻
我想起噴泉旁的白鴿甜蜜散落了
情緒莫名的拉扯我還愛你呢
而你斷斷續續唱著歌假裝沒事了

時間過了走了愛情面臨選擇
你冷了倦了我哭了
離開時的不快樂你用卡片手寫著
有些愛只給到這真的痛了

怎麼了你累了說好的幸福呢
我懂了不說了愛淡了夢遠了
開心與不開心一一細數著你再不捨
那些愛過的感覺都太深刻我都還記得

你不等了說好的幸福呢
我錯了淚乾了放手了後悔了
只是回憶的音樂盒還旋轉著要怎麼停呢

怎麼了你累了說好的幸福呢
我懂了不說了愛淡了夢遠了我都還記得

你不等了說好的幸福呢
我錯了淚乾了放手了後悔了
只是回憶的音樂盒還旋轉著要怎麼停呢

Can I Have This Dance - High School Musical Cast; Zac Efron; Vanessa Hudgens

Take my hand, take a breath
Pull me close and take one step
Keep your eyes locked on mine,
And let the music be your guide.

Won't you promise me (now won't you promise me, that you'll never forget)
We'll keep dancing (to keep dancing) wherever we go next

It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance

Take my hand, I'll take the lead
And every turn will be safe with me
Don't be afraid, afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you threw it all

And you can't keep us apart (even a thousand miles, can't keep us apart)
'Cause my heart is (cause my heart is) wherever you are

It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance

Oh no mountains too high enough, oceans too wide
'Cause together or not, our dance won't stop
Let it rain, let it pour
What we have is worth fighting for
You know I believe, that we were meant to be

It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you (like you)
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do (way we do)
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance

Can I have this dance
Can I have this dance

would you take my hand again

Past, Present and Future

Quote - 'Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated' bullets'. George S.Patton Jr.

You're going to love this;

We all need to deal with three realms.

The past, the present and the future.

We can't escape the past by trying to live in the future.

We need to deal with the past first. Then the present, then the future.

Unresolved offences, unconfessed sins, unpaid bills, unsaid apologies, unwritten letters will torpedo both our present and future.

Then we need to secure our present - create patterns and systems to live by, organise work and play - establish priorities and commitments.

Our foundation is solid.

Now we can dream, pray, prepare, plan and stategize for the future.

知足 - 五月天

怎麼去擁有　一道彩虹　
怎麼去擁抱　一夏天的風
天上的星星　笑地上的人　總是不能懂　不能覺得足夠

如果我愛上　你的笑容　要怎麼收藏　要怎麼擁有
如果你快樂　不是為我　會不會放手　其實才是擁有

當一陣風吹來　風箏飛上天空　
為了你而祈禱　而祝福　而感動
終於你身影　消失在　人海盡頭　
才發現　笑著哭　最痛

那天你和我　那個山丘　那樣的唱著　那一年的歌
那樣的回憶　那麼足夠　足夠我天天　都品嚐著寂寞

當一陣風吹來　風箏飛上天空　
為了你而祈禱　而祝福　而感動
終於你身影　消失在　人海盡頭　
才發現　笑著哭　最痛

當一陣風吹來　風箏飛上天空　
為了你而祈禱　而祝福　而感動
終於你身影　消失在　人海盡頭　
才發現　笑著哭　最痛

如果我愛上　你的笑容　要怎麼收藏　要怎麼擁有
如果你快樂　再不是為我　會不會放手　其實才是擁有

知足的快樂　叫我忍受心痛
知足的快樂　叫我忍受心痛

LEVEL 5

2008-09-23T10:22:00.004+08:00

Level 5 leaders channel their ego needs away from themselves and into the larger goal of building a great company.

It's not that Level 5 leaders have no ego or self-interest.

Indeed, they are incredibly ambitious-but their ambition is first and foremost for the institution, not themselves.

CAR WASHING

2008-09-21T14:44:00.003+08:00

Like every sheltered carpark, there's 2 washing bays.
This guy, who's finished with his, simply just walk away.

A hour later, still no sign of him returning to drive his car to a proper parking lot. During this hour, cars just drove pass taking a peek at whether there's space for washing. Unfortunately none. Its doesnt cost anything just to be a lil considerate. To show a lil more care. A lil more love.

Had my tee wet with sweat after im done with the washing with my dad.
My dad. He's a quiet man. Occassionally jokes abit. But he never failed to be there.
Like any other traditional chinese dad, he's strict with us kids (yap. no matter how old you are, you are still kids in your parents eyes =) ). Yet like any other dad, you find that you dont really know what he's thinking, he's thoughts, he's idea.
But you know one thing for sure, no matter what, he's always there. You can always call on him when there's a need. =) That's my dad.

Recently i read a interesting article. It said that we, human tends to find our sponse with character or look similar to our parents. i.e. If you a girl, your sponse resemble your dad in some ways; if you a guy, your wife resemble your mum in certain ways. I guess there's some true to this, since most of us grow up with our parents. Their characters do rub on us alot even if we never notice. =)

Anyway, dont feel bored when you need to clean the house, wash the car with your parents. Its a way to bond =)

许过一个愿

当时星星眨着眼
看起来并不远

为你长翅飞
为你被风吹

请你千万要等我
带幸福来给你的那一天

春天散步夏天看海秋天数落叶
（我们）一直没有烦恼
一直没有争吵
让每天像糖一样甜

冬天飘雪我是棉被温暖你的夜
一直在你身边
一直爱到永远
你就负责靠着我的肩

贴着你的脸
拍一张照片

世界是很复杂的
要靠我近一点

但愿你每天
幸福又安全

两只恋人手牵手
谁也不用再跑给谁去追

How To Be A Gentleman

2008-09-09T21:31:00.001+08:00

By Brian Christensen & Daniel McLean

When you hear the word “gentleman” it brings to mind several characteristics and qualities that would distinguish it from the word “man.” Man is a more general classification of gender, where as gentleman, separates itself as a specific type of man.

There’s the traditional gentleman. We’ve all heard that a gentleman opens a door for a lady. He also pulls out her chair when she sits down for a nice meal. A gentleman is polite. He never belches in front of a lady, and on the occasion that one slips past, always excuses himself. A gentleman always says thank you and please, and is attentive to all conversations. These are all the things that your grandmother taught you to do.

These are the courtesies that we dust off on prom, or when we take that special someone out for an elegant evening. But, being a gentleman is more than just opening the door for a young lady when you take her out on a date. Being a gentleman is a way of life. A gentleman exhibits exceptional qualities and character within himself and in his interaction with others. These traits closely resemble the character of our Master, Jesus Christ. Jesus is the perfect man and gentleman!

We all fall short of this perfect model, but He’s always there to show us the path. It’s up to all of us to walk it. If you want to be loved, you have to be lovable. Gentleness is love in action. Being considerate, meeting the needs of others, allowing for another person to talk and being willing to learn and grow are essential traits for both men and women. James 3:17,18 tells us that the wisdom from God is pure, peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. James goes on to say, “the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace and by those who make peace.” Being a gentleman is also being genuine and paying attention to detail.

A man can be a gentleman by doing things for other people such as helping church members move, or painting their house. Helping a co-worker with a task is another good way to help someone. Sometimes people just need to talk. One of the best ways to be a gentleman is to have a shoulder for someone to cry on. We all have problems in life that we need to talk about with someone else. It’s important to be there for a friend or family member when something is bothering them.

A lot of the time people will confide small things with you. Quite often, these are just the surface thoughts of a much bigger issue. Being a gentleman is being there to listen to anyone when they have these problems. It could be a church member, a family member, friend, or co-worker. No matter who it is, it’s important to listen to them. You don’t really even have to have a solution to their problem. It’s a healing process just to vent, and part of being a Christian and a gentleman is to listen.

A gentleman is not overly concerned with himself. We all have our own problems and issues to deal with, but part of the mission that Christ left with us is to love one another. That’s a difficult thing to do sometimes. When someone cuts us off, our first thought is probably not, “Well, he’s just having a bad day and has other problems.” We usually respond with a long train of explicatives and a not so Christian gesture. When you have a reaction like that, stop to think about how many times you might have done that to someone else.

James 3:1-16 shows us that no one, except Jesus, is perfect. We all stumble and must watch ourselves carefully to control the whole body. Even the smallest of things can affect everyone. James uses examples of a horse’s bit and the rudder of a ship. These items are very small in comparison to the larger, powerful objects they affect and control. He then explains how our tongue is a small member that can boast great things and defile the whole body. Our tongue can be like a small match that can burn down a vast forest. It can set a course for disaster and be fueled by Satan. We simply cannot bless our God and curse men out of the same mouth! “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom” (James 3:13).

Being a gentleman is more than holding a door open, or giving flowers to someone. These actions are good, however, the actions of a gentleman go much further and deeper. To be a true gentleman, we must start by studying and understanding the life and character of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. When we allow God’s wisdom to mold and shape our character, we then become more like Christ and exhibit true love in our daily life and relationships. Being a gentleman is more than just talk. It is love in action.

love in action. i need more action

HEART OF A CHILD

2008-09-07T09:08:00.004+08:00

"A child can always teach an adult three things:
To be happy for no reason.
To always be busy with something.
And to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires."

Having the heart of a child means: child-like
Its not childish but a mind marked by innocence, trust, and ingenuousness.
A mind that's playful, open, unrestrained by the inner voice of reason and know no fear of failure.

Babies are cute. =)
For some reason, most babies love me.
Whenever one passesby, they will give me a big smile.

In Alison Gopnik's Scientist in the Crib, she stated that:
"Babies are just plain smarter than we are, at least if being smart means being able to learn something new.... They think, draw conclusions, make predictions, look for explanations and even do experiments….

Tarots Cards Reading

2008-08-26T19:44:00.003+08:00

Well, I get a free reading for my Bday.
So i tried it for fun.

Here's the results:

-----------------------------------

Self: Knight of Coins

Cultivate your investments using good timing and skillful management; protect your interests.

The card in the Self position reveals aspects of how you perceive yourself right now.

The Knight of Coins (in some decks, The Prince) in this position portrays you as someone who is responsible, patient, and of practical service. You realize that with right timing and proper attention, wise investments multiply, like a field which has been cultivated.

This does not have to do with greed or even the profit motive as we think of it now. Your contribution is like that of the farmer who sows a field of grain for the sake of the entire community. Your service does not stop there, however. The crop must be allowed to grow unmolested by predators or thieves. That's another reason we need to summon forth the stalwart character inside of us who can be trusted to protect and defend the community and its harvest. This card implies generous service of all types.

Situation: Two of Swords

Resist any impulse to judge or blame others, or to adopt an us versus them attitude. Stay open to new information.

The card that lands in the Situation position refers to social or circumstantial factors which could be affecting your life at this time.

With the Two of Swords in this position, people around you may be splitting into separate camps, engaging in disputes, and jumping to judgmental conclusions. This is not an encouraging trend. The result could be a division between people that creates a polarized situation. If you want to improve things, be sure to stay clear of taking any one's side.

Challenges/ Opportunities: The World

You have mastered the elements of your life to the degree that success is a regular occurrence.

The card that lands in the Challenges/Opportunities position refers to ways that you can turn obstacles into stepping stones.

The World in this position challenges you to maintain a dynamic balance between inner pressures and outer circumstances, your male side and your female side, innocence and wisdom, action and response. You have grown into your potential. It's wonderful to find yourself at the center of the universe, in the right place at the right time.

Foundation: The Star

You've known someone who has discovered and is living out her or his purpose.

The card in the Foundation position points to influences from your personal history, your roots and background.

The Star in this position suggests that you were impressed by someone who established right livelihood and skillful relationships. This is not to imply that this person was given credit by society or was paid well. But he or she showed you what a fulfilled human being is like.

Recent Past: Ten of Cups

Something that used to hurt you and hold you back has been healed; you have arrived at a new level.

The card in the Recent Past position refers to events that are just departing, recently influential but now diminishing in power.

With the Ten of Cups in your recent past, you have just completed an extended exercise of self-discipline, intense focus and cooperative teamwork. These labors have brought you to a new level of self-esteem, usefulness and enthusiastic service in your life.

Even when you are feeling down, you no longer slide back into the same ruts. Challenges no longer deter you -- you don't despair or feel abandoned. Instead, you know how to refill your cup from the inside and let it overflow, becoming an inspiration for others. Having seen positive results and the impact of your efforts, you can now hold yourself in higher esteem. Take your advancement to heart. With it you can operate from a stronger position of strength and creativity than you could before.

Higher Power: The Emperor

Step into a leadership role with confidence; you are the right person for the endeavor.

The card in the Higher Power position reflects the broader perspective and influence of your conscience, Guardian Angel, inner wisdom.

When the Emperor comes up in this position, you are being called to leadership. Put shyness and inhibitions aside, because there simply is no one else who can better organize others to accomplish an important task right now.

The Emperor is interested in action and achievement. He wants to activate change; he wants to see results. You are being called upon to serve as an authority, a leader. Be assured that this is not a mistake -- you are the right person at the right time. Accept this as fact, take up the reins of responsibility and get to work!

Near Future: Eight of Coins

Continue to cultivate your mastery and you will reap abundant success.

The card in the Near Future position indicates which way the wind is blowing with regard to your situation. If you follow the Advice card, however, you can improve on or neutralize tendencies.

With the Eight of Coins in this position, you are gearing up to design and render more sophisticated projects. Everything is in place for great success as long as you persevere. Your artistic and intellectual development are evolving in an upward spiral.

Continue to refine your skills. Master your craft, building your reputation and attracting new projects, and you will be richly rewarded. Stay on track.

Blocks & Inhibitions: The Tower

Sometimes the cost of self-control is simply too high.

The card in the Blocks position points to self-undermining tendencies, areas where you could be in denial, where you could get stuck -- unless you examine yourself and make some corrections.

When the Tower appears in this position, you are suppressing a tremendous emotional charge and it is taking a toll on your body. This lightning bolt, instead of being released, finding its target, getting grounded and spending itself, is trapped within your body, zapping your internal organs and nervous system.

Consider whether you are suppressing a truth that should be acknowledged, spoken and acted upon. Taking those steps will set loose the lightning that creates permanent change. Allow your desperate desire to be on the other side of this issue to overcome the fear of invoking change. The energy is simply too intense to contain.

Allies: The Hierophant

Centuries of knowledge and wisdom are available to you.

The card in the Allies position points to people who can be supportive or helpful to you at this time.

In this position, the Hierophant points to a long-standing tradition of highly refined craftsmanship that you can tap into and draw inspiration from. It would behoove you and speed up your project if you would allow a Hierophant, a master of the Mysteries, to advise you.

The Hierophant has acquired direct knowledge by going to the heart of an issue and experiencing it. If you have a problem to solve, cast aside your pride. Determine who has the key to the situation and how you can befriend them, win their confidence and learn at their knee what you need to know. This Hierophant knows the direct path, the exact formula, the perfect key to the situation.

Advice: Judgment

Let go of your past. The future welcomes you with a bounty of growth and change.

The card in the Advice position suggests a course of action which will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible.

Judgment in this position advises that you allow yourself to grow, transform and release hidden potentials within yourself. Divest yourself of fruitless endeavors without neglecting your duties. At the same time, invest your energies in new growth.

It's not necessary to reject others, but refuse to be manipulated by those who cry foul. This process isn't about them anyway. It is about you and the desire you feel to change your life and become a more complete person. Trust your impulses and allow this remarkable awakening to happen.

Long-term Potential: The Chariot

Use many vehicles of communication to assemble a coalition.

The card in the Long-term Potential position points to unknowns still taking shape. It is the "wild card" yet to be played.

With the Chariot in this position, there is long term potential to enlarge your scope of influence. As you expand the realm in which you move, you will more freely share your ideas and ideals and meet like-minded souls.

Find the energy to travel, make connections and use technology to network. Over time your enthusiasm for seeking new stimulation is bound to create a personal empire. Don't rush the process. Take time to savor each contact. Out of these you will be able to weave a web of teammates. Together you are going to change your world.

look pretty good huh? haha!

“As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is.”

2008-08-20T22:05:00.002+08:00

[ As a Man Thinketh - James Allen ]

1. A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.

2. Cherish your visions. Cherish your ideals. Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all heavenly environment, of these, if you but remain true to them your world will at last be built.

3. The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors, that which it loves, and also that which it fears. It reaches the height of its cherished aspirations. It falls to the level of its unchastened desires - and circumstances are the means by which the soul receives its own.

4. Every action and feeling is preceded by a thought.

5. Right thinking begins with the words we say to ourselves.

6. If anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.

A quiet figure. Loving and caring.
My mum use to tell me when i was young, my grandpa will always carry me and when downstair.
Then he will meet up with my grandma to help carry the vege baskets.
He never spoke much but choose to show his love thru his action.
He's always there for my grandma.

Whenever, my grandma wants to visit us, he will acompany her.
Whenever, my grandma get off the car, he will help her down.
Whenever, my grandma fall sick, he will nag at her to take her medi.
He's always there, choosing to give; to love; to care.

He left a deep imprint in all of us: giving, without holding back
I know I'd never seen grandma cry in all my twenty-five years;
Till today, her eyes filled up with tears.

DOTS of Thoughts and Fillings

2008-07-03T21:20:00.003+08:00

why chao shao bao cry more than man tou during the movie session?

cos chao shao bao got 'filling' ah~

---------------------------------------------

why da bao cry louder than chao shao bao during the movie session?

becos da bao got more 'filling' ah~

---------------------------------------------

Met up with my friend lately. The key? A financial planner.
I wont blame her for not preparing me well egh for the
lunch-cum-catchup-cum-infogathering-cum-selling session.

Firstly she dish out a form to let me fill it in.
Figures are required...and hmm i gave estimated figures since i wasnt prepared.

2nd meet up, she dish out more forms, introducing to certain policies that
i indicated as my primary goal in the form i filled in during the first meet up.
BUT its based on my estimated figures i given to her.

End up if i took up both policies i can eat grass every month LOL!
alright. alrite. It's what i wanted but i cant help feeling disappointed at how 'well' i get prepared.

well well, who's more interested in your own money than yourself?

I'll go with my plans *big big Grinz*

---------------------------------------------

You know, not every one (yes some of u out there like me =) ) experienced having only 2 bucks in your wallets and undraw-able mighty-left-over 10 bucks in your saving account.

And all you could think of is: what im going to do with the 2 bucks.
i still have tmw lunch, the next next day lunch, dinner and all the lunch for the remaining weeks.........

You end up skipping some of the classes for part-time job. You worked day and night during the everybody-resting-you-working holidays. well i wont said its bad cos i did really enjoy working =) There's always bounce to be great pple around my working place that keep me going. =)

Sometimes i do envious those that could just concentrate on studying during the term and enjoying themselves during the holidays. Itznt that what a sch-ling should do? come on we are still young (and im still am ^^)

But WE dont get to choose situation. Situation chooses us.
We grow up faster than the rest.
We mature faster than the rest
We worried more than the rest.
We have more white hairs than the rest. (*cover* =x)

But the main points is we see the world more than the rest.
We excel in the school of life.
We understand what our heart desire.
We understand that giving is more impt that taking.
We undserstand that the world dont revo around a single identity.
But a single identity could unity the pple and it is the WE that spin the world.

let do these behind the scenes *GRINZ*

MISSING YOU

2008-06-29T14:05:00.004+08:00

I know im been silly. Its just only a day++ more.
But I just cant control the emotion. Its so intense.

My blog song now synch to my mood.

How long will I be waiting,
To be with you again (I know its only a day, sigh)
Gonna tell you that I love you, (Yes, i really do)
In the best way that I can.
I can't take a day without you here, (You know that i miss you, dear)
You're the light that makes my darkness disappear.

RUNNING

2008-06-20T22:09:00.008+08:00

To reach the goal we must at times run with the wind,
other times, against it;
But we must certainly run, not walk, nor stand still.

At time we reach a point when we feel that things are well balanced.
Or so it seems to us in our tiny viewing angle.

A friend have this saying: when will the time be, when we are most balanced?
The answer came rather odd: When we are been carried in our coffin by 4 person.

It do make some sense after several thoughts. Most of the time we are rushing from one point to another point; From one stage of life to another. And often, we took things for granted. The air that we breathe. The food that we eat. The care that our families give. The loves that our close one showers.

Balance. It seems like a easy word. B.a.l.a.n.c.e. Just a 7 letters word.
But beneath it, its as deep as an iceberg.

O well, took a good look at myself in the mirror and i decided that im way too thin.
Especially these few months which I keep failing sick. arhhh >.<
Decided that I, shall took on a more serious attitude about my health. my life. and my loves one.

continue to feed me fei fei =x

Im only going to get greater and greater!

The body may be weak. But the heart is strong...

THE LEADERSHIP FILES - RESTING

Quote - 'Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.' - Mark 6:31

You're going to love this;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rest comes in a deserted place. Where no people are.

This is immensely difficult for a leader;

- to come aside from their work,
- to locate in a deserted place alone,
- to remain there for a while,
- to rest, that is to stop working,

However, this is an art that must be mastered, otherwise the leader's faculties will wear out.

They will render themselves useless.

Rest adds up to recovery, creativeness, energy.

Find a deserted place, go there and do nothing.

A miracle will happen!

Stepping out with you,
PHIL PRINGLE

TEARS

2008-05-31T12:36:00.001+08:00

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him.

"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"

"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.

Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"

God said:

"When I made the woman she had to be special.

I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, gentle enough to give comfort.

I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.

I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.

And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."

"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."

I guess not only woman needs to shed but man too. Hang in there friend.
There’s always good in every bad; A reason for every pain.

HEALTH

2008-05-19T13:17:00.003+08:00

First there's cough and sore throat. Then folo by their good friend fever.
2 days later, a distant relative call diarrhoea came visiting.

That's not all. Diarrhoea sisters, stomach gas and stomach pain came squeezing in.

There. I was accompanied by all these sudden visiters for 2 weeks.
arrhhh~ you should check out the packets of tablets i took. yucks.

Well, well. Its good to feel healthy again. So friends take care! dont fall sick.
its not worth it. =)

BE HAPPY

2008-05-01T12:09:00.003+08:00

Always see the goodness in this world,
do your part in helping those less fortunate,
walk hand in hand with those of less talent,
follow those of more knowledge, and
be an equal with those who are different...

Find your special purpose in this world full of choices
and help lead those who stray.

Become your own individual -
set yourself apart from those who are the same.

Have the self-confidence to say no
when it is necessary and
the strength to stand alone.

Give yourself the approval to love and respect everything that you are and
will become...

Reap the fruits of your talents,
walk with pride down the road of life,
be humble in your successes,
and share in the praises and joy of others.

Most of all, be happy.
For when you are happy,
you have the key that open all of the world's doors to you.

"It was part of your apprenticeship. WHen a man journeys toward his destiny, often he is obliged to change paths. At other times, the forces around him are too powerful and he is compelled to lay aside his courage and yield. All this is part of the apprenticeship."

Elijah listened attentively to what his soul was saying.
"But no one can lose sight of what he desires. Even if there are moments when he believes the world and the others are stronger. The secret is this: do not surrender."

Coffee?

2008-04-19T07:55:00.002+08:00

UPDATE?

2008-03-29T13:15:00.003+08:00

its work. work. work. Muhahaa Boss(Sarah) will understand.
Well, the good things is, I pretty much like what im doing. So yea!
Its really starting to be more of a hobby than work *Grinz*
*NOTE: Only when things are working fine and not breaking down*

Just finished Server room migration last week end. Thurs, Friday (Yes its a holiday I know), Sat, Sun. *Phew* Everything turn up pretty fine except for some switch no connection. Router no connection. But pretty we got them fix. One HP server die on me =.=

That took up alot of my time trying get another server running the application. *cheers to the whole Financial department for not pressuring me on the server*
On a side note, maybe they should thanks me since they cant work on the whole mon *grinz* Joking! =p

Boss (Current company) said, you learn the most when things break, but of cos we rather not have it *Grinz* True true. Like any other incident, even our day to day life. Only when things are not working, we break down and there *bingo!* we see everything from a new angle. We pick ourselves up. We took on a new strength. We become stronger! *beam*

Pretty much about work huh? Er life, hmmmm pretty much the same. Brought a bike-a-bicycle. ^^ haha. Just something to get myself to workout cos i pretty dislike running.

Hope dear quickly recover. Must ren ok? Recover then u can eat anything. Now must control. control. And control =)

GATHERING
Quote - Isa 40:11 ...he will gather

Hi, I'm Phil Pringle

You're going to love this;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Successful leaders identify what gathers or scatters people; customers, clients, staff, congregation and leaders in the organisation.

People gather to light, fire, beauty, sweet fragrance, excitement, success, celebration, where they are loved, respected, welcomed and recognized; laughter, vision, bold leadership, energy, high skill, courage, the new, the clever, the excitingly different, the well done, gifts, generosity and mercy.

People are scattered from rudeness, coldness, darkness, boredom, ugliness, bad odors, chaos, failure, depression and judgment.

Which list are you?

Stepping out with you,
Phil Pringle

A Year

Many have come and left their messages behind.....'I miss you, kitty'

HEROES - The Legend Continues

2007-12-31T22:56:00.000+08:00

Very suprising, my last post for the 2007 end back on the TeeBee series .
Alot of things went thru my head last night and I could end up writing a million other things. But in the end here I'm, at the last hour of the year 07 writing about a teebee series! Yea *Grinz* v^^v

Hiro Nakamura. We have seen from the start, a day to day office-man. From the ever-cute innocent man to a confidence, strong hero who we all could rely on. He went through alot. Yea, we all know. And it isnt easy for him. So much pain and failure. And at point, he wished to give up. We always do dont we? =)

Obstacles, barrier, problems, issues, challenges are basically the same one thing. Many names are given to it. All from different prespective. What is important is to take note that it is essential. What we went thru make today us.

Like in the last few Esp. Hiro passed his sword to Ando. Puzzled by his action, Ando asked:"but you need the sword, it will help you concentrate your power"
Hiro:It is not the sword but the man. And the man is ready now...

like Hiro, at certain points in our life, we depend on certain stuff for our 'power'. But in the end, we will realised that all these are what condition or strengthen us to be the man we are. =)

Peter Petrelli.Alrite, apart from his goodlooking-ness. He was the other character who I found very close to us. From the start, a younger bro, who always look for his bro support or help. Someone who pure in his heart with kindness sparkling out of his eyes. Yet, he was not without struggles. He tried to understand himself, to find meaning in life. To find out what's he mean to do. To be.

Like Peter, most of us are on our quest to search for our destiny. Our calling. Some found it and give it up. Others simpling ignored it. So few of us actually walked the path that we are called for. So few of us have the courage to walk on. Life is never easy. Neither is it fair. We have seen for ourselves that good people dies and bad one enjoying life out there. We can all give up and said there's nth I can do. Or we can try. yes we try to give our little little effort. To try to change the world.

Like Peter, giving without asking for return is never easy. And of cos at times, it hurt and it hurt badly till it bleeds. Giving has another name. Sacrifying. Giving without holding back....even when its hurt to give...

' That which we are, we are all the while teaching, not voluntarily, but involuntarily.' - Ralph Waldo Emerson

That's why I always said if its not of goodness, do not speak it.
It doesnt mean you have to hide all your feelings. Cannot do this cannot that. BUT if its words that going to hurt someone, why would you want to say it or wrote it?
Unless of cos you wanted to hurt back. If not, its always better to learn to let go.

Please dont tell me forgive but not forget. Its bull shit. If you cant forget about how the other wronged you or hurted you, then where did the forgiveness come from?
If you said you forgived him and still keep on going about it...have you really forgive?

Forgive and forget =) it the way things should be.
let the year of 07 ended with a big heart. A heart that's overflowing with love, so that we could all love everyone.

Jia you bah pple! love you all

GOODBYE

2007-12-28T21:48:00.000+08:00

In life, we often say goodbye to each others.
When we left our house;
When we left our school;
When we left our office;
When friends going aparts;
When love one dies;

Will we meet them again? Or will this be the last time that we will be seeing them?
Nobody knows.

A newly founded team-mate; A trusted battle partner; A friend who always say "Im strong". Now that she has found a new path to continue her walk of life. All the best wishes for her. =)

May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

HEROES - Hiro Nakamura

2007-12-19T12:56:00.000+08:00

In the last 2 esp. of session 1, Hiro was trained by his dad in sword-fighting.

Hiro: "I understand father. To save what is important...
I must be strong enough...
to cut out my own heart."

It’s a simple storyline yet it show great sacrificing spirit.
The power of giving is as such, to love to give.
You can give without loving but you can never love without giving.
How much you willing to put the other first before yourself, means how much that person means to you.

It’s not easy. And never was easy to give especially when it’s hurt.
Just like what my hairstylist always said: living is never about self, we always live for others.
