caught a cold

Thursday, December 28, 2006


You are deserving, of all the praises Lord
My heart is yearning, to be in your presence once more
Deep inside my heart is burning, i want to give you more
Cos you're the only one that i adore...


went to see a doc yest and diagnosed with a cold...but seriously i felt worse than just having a cold. felt so feebly now.
i sent my hp for repair..will only get it back on sat. its so inconvenient without one these days.
managed to get 1 and a half day of MC from work..and due to the PHs next week, i'll have a long break all the way till ...oh, now come to think of it, thurs! cos wed is my off. so i'll return to work only next thurs. what a precious long reak. i should really take this time to rest and spend it wisely. i realise that i haven't been spending time w some good people, cos of my packed schedule, i've neglected them. esp Yiting, my brother,the 2 Esthers in my life- would be a good time to catch up if they are free.
and i owe a few, explanation and my time. (ha..u'll know if its u if i contact u!) i dont wanna live in regrets. i wanna reconcile n rebuild relationships..straighten n strengthen these friendships. i've learnt that Friends are indded valuable gifts from God, even mere friends.

wait till i recover first ya. =)

just feel so vulnerable now..

e joy of Christmas happens w God in your heart.

The Young Working Adult Cell (Cellgroup)

my encouragement. my pride.









my blessings..i'm counting 'em.




at this moment, i have cough, a severe blocked nose filled w super thick mucus.
i know its super thick cos each time i breathe in, it sounds more like a snore.
eyecircles which were 'born' by insufficient sleep.
so i'm yawning, snoring and coughing all together.

ya i'm exhausted. my body is protesting the lack of rest.

still, i wanna acknowledge i'm blessed.

One of my cell members shared in cell about how 3 doctors in Sg died of exhaustion. Heard that they worked 15 hrs non-stop. just not sure for how long a duration.
scary isnt it?
just how much stress can the human body take? How much work?

ok, in this post and the one(s) that follow(s), i would be literally counting my blessings by showing u all the pics. Though love, peace, joy, mercy, grace, TLC, hope cannot be captured using a digital device, i promise u they will be around. so stay watch. here goes my blessings, here i count.. not in any order of significance, they all equally significant.













The Antidote to My Fear

Tuesday, December 19, 2006


no, i'm not scared of heights.

i have a plastic bagful of wet clothes

first thing i did was to put my heavy bag down, wash my feet and sleep.
yes,without bathing.

was drenched with rain and SALT aka sea water for the past 3 days

i tasted SALT, sand, and watever nots u have in the sea....eeeks

accomodation was together with the lizardry, flies, rats, mouse or mice?, cockroaches, n some dunno what black black insects...oh, not forgeting the lizard droppings?

no, i did not book into camp.

no i did not sign up for OBS.

my many firsts happened on this trip,
RAN FOR ABOUT 700-800METRES IN THE THUNDERSTORM KINDA RAIN
ROCK CLIMBING
WALKING ON CABLE SUSPENDED 6-7 METRES HIGH
HEARD THE WORD "BELAYING"
WENT INTO THE SEA WITH A PFD (PFD DOES NOT EQUAL LIFE JACKET)
SHOWERED IN A CUBICLE WHICH CANNOT BE LOCKED
FELL INTO A DEEP SLEEP WITHIN 10 SECONDS
HEARD AND SEEN PLANES FLYING OVERHEAD AT LESS THAN 5 STROEYS HIGH
CAUGHT IN THE RAIN AT LEAST 10 TIMES A DAY
SAW A RAT RUNNING TOWARDS ME ON THE WAY TO THE SHOWER ROOM
SAW A MOUSE DISAPPEARING INTO THE GRASS ON THE WAY TO THE TOILET
CONSTRUCING A RAFT
SITTING IN THE RAFT AND TRYING TO STAY AFLOAT IN THE SEA
EXPERIENCING ALL OF THESE

are u still tickled by my experiences?
thinking if i had secretly went to tekong?

good try..... but no.

i'm back.


from my church leaders' retreat at Changi Adventure Centre.

wanna guess the antidote to these fearful things for me?

ha. pls continue to guess by yourself huh.
i need my beauty sleep now.
tell u in the next post.

and no, i did all of these fearful things (in case u think i play cheat.ha.)


oh ya, if u think this post is lame, yes it is. it is intended to be.

ZZZzzZzzzz...








Who am i

Friday, December 15, 2006


Who am i
that the Lord of all the earth
would choose to know my name, would care to feel my hurt
Who am i
that the bright morning sun would choose to light the way,
for my ever wandering heart

Chorus:
Not because of who i am
But because of what you've done
Not because of what i've done
But because of who you are

I am a flower quickly fading.
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapour in the wind
Still you hear me when i'm calling
Lord you catch me when i'm falling
And you told me who i am

I'm Yours
I'm Yours.

Who am i
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and see me rise again
Who am i
That the voice that called out through the rain, that calmed the sea
and calmed the storm in me

Chorus:
Not because of who i am
But because of what you've done
Not because of what i've done
But because of who you are

..........................
..........................
I'm Yours.
I'm Yours.

(thought of this song for this past week, and it has since played itself in my head for dozen times. it blows my mind each time i think of God's love.
Such an amazing and extravagant love that blows my mind.
a love that leaves me in awe.
WOW.
"u Mean God loves me so much?"

WOW.
