We are certainly very blessed to be living in Singapore – a country free from disasters, that enjoys wealth and riches, with a good education system and transportation infrastructure, etc etc. I’m not trying to be patriotic here, merely stating the facts. Because while we are worried about paying bills and losing jobs here in this part of the world, the Israelites and Palestinians are fighting for their lives; and while this part of the world has become civilized, there are still others in another part of the world engaging in wars. How ironic.
How sad that innocent people are dying in these cruel wars that do not seem to stop because of human’s pride and disagreed terms and foolish decisions that suggest that only through losing lives would they get what they want…Would they?
I pray that the Israel-Hamas war would cease soon and that the death toll will not continue to rise.
World peace.

.look.ahead.but.remember.the.past.
dear all,
we are just one day shy from 2009!
9 years ago, when we were entering into the 21st century, some said it might be the end of the world.
9 years have passed, we survived.
but remember that we often recite this line during communion,
Christ will come again!
when? we do not know exactly.
we have to constantly be mindful of our actions and to remind ourselves to live our lives as Christ-like as possible.
let us all take stock, and look forward to the betterment of things ahead of us!
forgive those who have hurt you.
love those who hate you.
smile at someone sincerely and welcome a new friend with a warm handshake.
have a blessed 2009, jeremiah knights!

Thanksgiving
Following the previous post, I would like to give thanks to God:
And thank my husband for taking care of me when I was sick!
1) that I had not snapped off the whole finger from my hand, that I still have a hand of 5 fingers, though I don't know when my pinky finger will fully heal;
2) that I had recovered from my allergy (giving thanks in advance in faith!), that i did not feel especially itchy and uncomfortable throughout the time of sickness and that my swollen face wasn't that bad (I had heard of worse ones);
3) I fell down from the stairs at my office 2 weeks ago and I thank God that I didn't sprain my leg! And that no one was around when I was on my fours! Woohoo!
And thank my husband for taking care of me when I was sick!
God is really good to me. I must give thanks more often! You must too! Because God is good!
And it works in a spiraling way, that as you give thanks to God more, you'd realise His goodness; and as you realise His goodness, you'd want to give thanks to God more!

An eventful Christmas
My Christmas in year 2008 ended with a bang...on my pinky finger @_@
It so happened that after a nice and filling dinner at the famous Scissors Curry Rice stall, and as I was happily closing the car door behind me (at our home car park), I felt my finger stuck. Yes, I had left it there when I was closing the door. The next thing I know, I was squatting down and screaming and totally oblivious to the people staring at me (or maybe there weren't people around...I don't know...). Initially I didn't think it was anything serious until Francis took a look at it and I saw blood oozing out; my nail cracked and it looked like it was coming off my finger. I almost fainted. Then, I wailed even louder and cried like a baby, as we slowly made our way to the lift and back home (this time, I'm sure people noticed us). I was traumatized and kept mumbling that I couldn't do housework now, I couldn't go to work tomorrow, I couldn't bathe, blah blah blah. Poor Francis. He tried to calm me down and asked me not to think so much. In retrospect, I'm quite amused by what I said. Haha.
All was well. I accepted the fact that my pinky finger will be dysfunctional for at least a month, and that my nail will come off any time because I'm just too accident-prone. I was ready to go to work the next day with a bandage on my finger as I climbed on bed and ended 25th December 2008.
I woke up the next morning and looked at myself in the mirror. Something's weird; something's not right. But I couldn't put a finger to it (not because I hurt it the night before...hahaha). So I continued to wash my face. Ahh...it felt different...it didn't feel right. Then I concluded that it was bloated, and I noticed red spots on my limbs as well. Must be an allergy, I thought. But, to what? I visited the doctor and there wasn't much conclusion either, except that it was, an allergy. I don't blame doctors, because allergy is really difficult to detect until something happened, but by the time it happens, too many factors could have caused it and at the end of the day, we still don't know what allergy it is. Anyway, and so I rested on 26th December. I was even brave enough to exhibit my bloated face by allowing you guys to come to my place in the evening.
And as I was ready to wake up on Saturday to visit my hair dresser and go shopping with my mum and sis, I found a more swollen me in the mirror. I felt like hamsters with cheeks full of stored food or an obese goldfish. I couldn't bear to take a second look in the mirror. What was before me was hideous! I had never looked like this before and I don't want to look like that again! But I still decided to take one more day of medicine before I sought a second opinion. Lo and behold, I still didn't get any better on Sunday so I visited a 2nd doctor. Apparently, the medicine worked on my swelling and it went away a bit after my first intake. But my cheeks were still a teeny weeny bit swollen the next day (Monday...mc!!!). Hopefully I'll be totally well when I go back to work on Tuesday.
You know the morale of the story? Never leave your things behind, especially your fingers, when you alight from a vehicle. And secondly, Jocelyn should never get fat. She looked really ugly.

My hope... some thoughts
Just some thoughts after ' My hope' at jocelyn's place. Thanks Jia Wei and Eliz for the wonderful food. It was a blessing:) Have been sick for a week plus. Feeling quite weak i guess. Initially struggled to turn up for my hope cos I was simply kinda of tired. Been buzzing around for recent months or so...I guess God does have His purpose to bring me there. Through the video, He reminded me why I chose to received Him as my Lord and Saviour. He reminded the purpose of serving Him and the very first moments that He touched me as well.
The very same verse ... The Lord is my shepherd and I shall not be in want .... God used that verse to speak into my life before. There were flash backs at the moments God spoke into my life. Perhaps the busy months have crowded my mind so much that God was using the testimony to reach to me as well.
I felt warm to know that God cares for me and is very much concern about me. Guess... it's always how I choose to respond to Him. Take heart, Jesus never leaves and will never forsake His children.
Thank God for that!

.hope.
hi all,
your hope, my hope, His hope.
i just hope...
the number of rejections (of not turning up) may sadden some, but it should be a form of motivation to focus on those who gladly accept the invitation and appear at the event.
for those who have accepted Christ, remember that their individual walk has just begun. dont forget the follow-up sessions with them.
it is your responsibility. take ownership.
dont put in all your efforts on getting people down and call it a day when the event is over.
your work has just started.

.trust.
hi all,
to some, this entry may be encouraging, while others may view it as a disappointing one.
just like a coin, it has two sides.
to me, mister trust can make friends easily. but once he has been betrayed, the scars he bears will remain and he needs mister forgiveness to help him out of the misery.
why do i say that this short entry is a form of encouragement?
God will not make you lose trust in Him. you can trust Him, only if you choose to. it is your choice.
as for it being disappointing?
man, in general, will fail you, even the dearest person whom you think you can trust.
just a random thought after seeing, hearing, and experiencing it by myself.

Corrinne May's
Angel in Disguise
I woke up this morning feeling kind of blue
and I stumbled out of bed
and dragged my feet across the room
Right outside my front door was a rose
and a note that said 'Somebody Loves You'
But out on the street it starts to pour
and before I get soaking wet,
A total stranger runs to give me
the jacket off his back
I turn around to thank him
But he waves me with a smile
and I can hardly believe my eyes
He puts on a halo and starts to fly
Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look for Paradise
You could be next to
an angel in disguise
I met a good friend for lunch
and we had a delicious meal
But I forgot to bring my wallet
I felt like an imbecile
But she was sweet, she gave me a treat and
bought me a chicken sandwich
to take home for tea
But out on the street with nothing to eat
A man and his shopping cart go
travelling to places,
collecting social graces
I give him my sandwich
and we chatted for a while
I see a rainbow wash over his eyes
He gives me his halo and
I start to fly
Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look for Paradise
You could be next to
an angel in disguise
Don't try to hide away from me
I know you're by my side
Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look for Paradise
You could be next to
an angel in disguise
Everyday can be legendary
Every minute, an endless surprise
You could be the next angel in disguise
I woke up this morning
Feeling kind of new

Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord...
LORD, I need STRENGTH!!!
Children's Camp starting tmr. Rhythm and Rhyme Camp starting tmr. Brain Booster Camp starting next week. Dazzle and Delight Camp starting next next week. I'm tired....
Dear JK,
Haven't had time to share with you people what's going on in my life...so u can read a little over here.
Just wanna share how I think God gave me a little push on Sunday...
I was tired...(for those who noticed, I was really really tired--physically, mentally). I was complaining to God and wondering why am I doing so many things and getting myself so tired. I can't complain to anyone because sometimes I think it is me who got myself into all these. If I complain to them, they will just think why would I want to be involved in so many things in the first place. Sigh....
So I kept everything between myself and God. I feel like I'm breaking down that on Saturday morning, I just feel like giving up everything. It was quite scary...because I thot of pulling out from MT. I really wanted to. I need REST.
On Sunday, my complaining mood continues...I told God to give me strength and passion to move on. During worship, I tried to give everything to God. I want to return everything to Him. I just teared before God because I can't do so before men. It was good after the release of emotions. During communion, I lifted up my hand to receive the bread (as usual) and waited...Pastor came, put the bread on my hand, close my hand and said the word....STRENGTH... I can't remember what he said..but I heard the word "STRENGTH" and my heart was encouraged. Never had I heard anything other than "Jesus' blood/bread keeps you in eternal life". I thought that was God revealing to me that my strength is in Him.
Read Psalm 107 yesterday and I realised before God restored His people, they need to cry out to Him "Lord, help!" I thought that's me. I need to cry out to Him, "Lord, help!"
Well, this is my season of life. Pray for all my camps please, esp for children's camp (thu-sun).

hi all,
3 entries in a row! yep, i am that free.
just to inform all who will read this blog that since i am certified 'unfit to fly' for 2 months, i am now 'grounded'.
i have started reporting for work at my training centre. my job is pretty easy, an assistant to sort out thousands of letters of compliments. well, we do receive many, since 'we are a great way to fly!'.
830 to 530. can go off on the dot. cool! hahaha... but i have to leave my home by 7 in order not to be late.
now that i have to squeeze with many commuters on the mrt and bus, i cant help but start to miss my flying days.
hopefully, with God's grace, i am fit to do so.
ha... actually, pretty lost. fly or not? the ball is not in my court to decide.
happy sunday tomorrow!

.know.your.God.know.yourself.know.your.friends.
hi all,
pretty in a bad shape recently, but am i giving up? or have i been too beaten by the tests and trials that i became numb and having this 'hit-me-more,-it-doesnt-matter-at-all' attitude?
all thanks to therry theodore, i was blessed by him with the daily bread. the month of october has been talking about the story that God is trying to tell, for each and everyone of us.
i am still all ears. both ears are cleaned and 'de-waxed' so as to know what is God trying to do.
some told me that we are just human beings, we have limited wisdom. all we need and must do is to trust and obey God.
this old hymn i used to sing during assembly back in my days in sas goes, 'trust and obey, for there is no other way... but to trust and obey'.
i know, i may have been a let-down to many. i am definitely not the best 'lao jiao' (as in, the senior ones in the cell group) to lead and set an example for the younger ones to follow, but just a word of encouragement to all and i quote the verse that i used to believe strongly, 'have faith in God', mark verse 11:22.
simple as it is. have faith. like what jayne shared during sermon on sunday, faith is our 'title deed'.
maybe you have sinned. come'on, who hasnt? we are all sinners. but if you think that you have committed something which you cant even forgive yourself for, do you think God will?
the answer is yes. God will. He loves you. if you cant forgive yourself when God can, you are saying that you are mightier than God. He can forgive, you cant. the truth is, you arent that great. so, forgive yourself and move on!
the above mentioned statement, i have heard it many times and yet, it isnt easy when it is applied to my complicated life.
i read on someone's nick on msn which says, 'live simply the complicated life'.
sometimes, we really do not need to worry unduly. God already has His plan for you. yes, you. you who is reading this now, who has been patient with me for my sudden burst of expressions.
i would like to extend my most sincere gratitude to all who are concerned for my health. there is a reason behind it. i believe. you may not have told me, but i do want to thank you for praying and encouraging me.
a warm hug and a big thank you to you!
and dont find me a naggy old man, for those who are having the privilege to study, please do your utmost best, for only for yourself and your future, but for God too. He will definitely honour what you have done for Him.
study well. stay focused on your books. if in doubt, please clarify! have plentiful of rest and drink a lot of water. last but it is the most important thing to do, is to pray for wisdom, peace and good health during this period of 'battle of the brains'.
jia you!

some told me that we are just human beings, we have limited wisdom. all we need and must do is to trust and obey God.
this old hymn i used to sing during assembly back in my days in sas goes, 'trust and obey, for there is no other way... but to trust and obey'.
i know, i may have been a let-down to many. i am definitely not the best 'lao jiao' (as in, the senior ones in the cell group) to lead and set an example for the younger ones to follow, but just a word of encouragement to all and i quote the verse that i used to believe strongly, 'have faith in God', mark verse 11:22.
simple as it is. have faith. like what jayne shared during sermon on sunday, faith is our 'title deed'.
maybe you have sinned. come'on, who hasnt? we are all sinners. but if you think that you have committed something which you cant even forgive yourself for, do you think God will?
the answer is yes. God will. He loves you. if you cant forgive yourself when God can, you are saying that you are mightier than God. He can forgive, you cant. the truth is, you arent that great. so, forgive yourself and move on!
the above mentioned statement, i have heard it many times and yet, it isnt easy when it is applied to my complicated life.
i read on someone's nick on msn which says, 'live simply the complicated life'.
sometimes, we really do not need to worry unduly. God already has His plan for you. yes, you. you who is reading this now, who has been patient with me for my sudden burst of expressions.
i would like to extend my most sincere gratitude to all who are concerned for my health. there is a reason behind it. i believe. you may not have told me, but i do want to thank you for praying and encouraging me.
a warm hug and a big thank you to you!
and dont find me a naggy old man, for those who are having the privilege to study, please do your utmost best, for only for yourself and your future, but for God too. He will definitely honour what you have done for Him.
study well. stay focused on your books. if in doubt, please clarify! have plentiful of rest and drink a lot of water. last but it is the most important thing to do, is to pray for wisdom, peace and good health during this period of 'battle of the brains'.
jia you!
