A Day to National Museum

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

It was Steves’ birthday on Sat. I brought him to the museum. He always has this liking to visit museum but it will never interest me to step into one. To me, museum is a boring place especially for someone who is not ‘art-y’ at all.

Well for the sake of the birthday boy and to make him happy, we visited the national museum while he actually wanted to visit the Art Museum instead…hahaha … But I told him start with National musuem 1st. Too much of art masterpieces for me, I may not be able to digest and appreciate :p

We went for the Greek Masterpieces from the Louvre. It is a rare opportunity to view classical Greek masterpieces from marble sculptures, vases, terracotta figurines and gold jewellery from the 5th to 1st centuries BC. After that we have coffee at the cafe and then proceed for the Singapore History Gallery. This is very interesting as we get to see the film making, filming equipment, fashion, music, marriages, food street, photo in olden Singapore days. From these, we get to understand about the culture and traditions of different ethics group. I enjoy the tour very much.

After the spending the whole day in the museum, it is not as boring as what I think. I enjoy the tour and learn a lot too. Even the iconic architecture and design of the museum is very elegant and beautiful too. I start to love this place

Jesus, I love You *Hugs*Hugs*

The greatest gift I had received is God.
The greatest gift He had blessed me is Salvation.

If not for You, I am still lost, not knowing what is my purpose in life.
If not for You, I will not be who I am today.

Jesus, I love you!
I want to live my everyday life remembering You and drawing near to You.
You are the Best, You are my Hero!

The Power of Focus

Monday, January 7th, 2008

Pst Kong will be sharing a 4-part series with the church for these 4 weeks.
He will preach on FOCUS, FORGIVENESS, FAITH and FORTITUDE.

Pst started with the 1st part on The Power of Focus

LK11:34 “The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness.”

When our vision is Focus, we’ll be a stable person.
- Focused light has tremendous power.
- Focus brings energy

SUCCESS is about Focus

As we set our goals, we set them with a purpose that will bring us to the next level.
For 2008, we are to plan and to set SMARTER goals.

Specific
Measurable
Action plan
Realistic
Time
Expectation management
Revelation

The opposite of Focus is Distraction.
We must not get distracted by:
1) Interim success
2) Competition
3) Pain of life

I believe that there are some goals in 2007 which we did fulfill due to distraction. We just lost our vision and focus.

Let’s revived the dreams and visions we had lost in the midst of our distraction in 2007 and bring it to live with a SMARTER planning on our goals so that all things will come to pass in 2008.

2008 will be the best year yet to be!

I am looking forward to what Pst is going to share in the next 3 weeks. I believe that the Word will bring us to the next level as we catch it with understanding and put it into action.

Beautiful Saviour

We sang a new worship song during service this week. I love this worship. It is very nice and touching. Tears start to flow as I worship. Indeed, He is the Beautiful Saviour .. always so wonderful whose name is above every name!

Jesus, Beautiful Saviour,God of all Majesty,
Risen king,Lamb of God,
Holy and righteous,Blessed redeemer,
Bright morning star

All the heavens shout your praise,
All creation bow to worship You

How wonderful, how beautiful,
Name above every name, exalted high
How wonderful, how beautiful,
Jesus your name, name above every name, Jesus

I will sing forever, Jesus I love you, Jesus I love you

Built to last

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

This is a nice song by Melee.

A relationship that is built to last.

</object

I’ve looked for love in stranger places,
but never found someone like you.
Someone whose smile makes me feel I’ve been holding back,
and now there’s nothing I can’t do.

‘Cause this is real, and this is good.
It warms the inside just like it should,
but most of all it’s built to last.

All of our friends saw from the start.
So why didn’t we believe it too?
Whoa yeah, now look where you are.
You’re in my heart now.
And there’s no escaping it for you.

‘Cause this is real, and this is good.
It warms the inside just like it should,
but most of all it’s built to last.

Walking on the hills that night with those fireworks and candlelight
You and I were made to get love right

‘Cause this is real, and this is good.
It warms the inside just like it should,
but most of all it’s built to last.

‘Cause you are the sun in my universe,
considered the best when we’ve felt the worst
and most of all it’s built to last.

The Happiest Moment

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

A good friend of mine from church is getting married in May08. I am happy and excited for her :)
I believe that the happiest moment for a girl is to marry the man she love and to walk the rest of her life with him.

Not full enough

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

I had dinner with Steves’ family last nite. We are late cos’ before coming out of my house, we celebrated birthday for my mum. We sang her a birthday song and asked her to made a wish before cutting the cake. I prayed for her too. I can see that she is surprised and happy when Steves took the cake out from the dinning room and placed it on the table for her. After the short celebration, I left for Steves’ house for dinner.

Aiyo, his family are really small eater lor. His mum, his brother, sis-in-law and even Steves himself have their rice half filled only. When his sis-in-law asked me if the rice is enough for me, I just told her "yes" but in my heart I was thinking "Aiyo, so little. sure will get hungry again." Hahaha ..   First time eating with the family, must not ’scared’ his family with the amount of food I can eat :p I am a "rice bucket"… Having a bowl of rice full or at times when there is nice dishes, I can even have 2 full bowl… :p

Truly by 10plus, I was so hungry that Steves bought a packet of potato chips to maunch in the car while driving me home. I finished the whole packet myself…kekeke

Change!!!

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

Pst Tan preached a very good sermon on Sun. It really renew our mind and brought us to a different level of viewing change and understand change.

CHANGE is necessary for for GROWTH and PROGRESS!

Change is a challenge to conventional thinking.
Unless we changed, we will not enter the Kingdom of God (MATT 18:3)

Things changed when our thinking changed.
Hence, we must understand about Repentance.
Repentance: a change in direction; to turn from a path of destruction to a path of construction.

A change in Direction -> changed in Action -> change in DESTINY
To enter into Kingdom of God: To have His righteousness, peace and joy of the Holy Spirit.

Change begins with a decision.
DESICISON -> DEDICATION -> DISCIPLINE
From our decision to accept change, we will learn to commit to adapt to change.

For 2008, which is the areas that I should change?
1. Health
2. Work
3. Relationship
4. Emotional well-being
5. Spiritual life
6. Thought life

People resist change due to
1. Pride - exalt themselves higher above others
2. Fear - unwilling to take the step of faith
3. Rebellion - a don’t care attitude
4. Laziness
5. Ignorance

Only fools and dead man don’t change.
When change is necessary, not to change is destruction.

We change due to WISDOM or a CRISIS (Prov 1:20-23)
Either we lead change or change will lead us.
- If change leads us, it will lead us to a place we don’t want to be at
Therefore, our ABILITY to LEAD change will determine our SUCCESS in life!

I believe that 2008 will be a greater and better yr for me as I learn to lead change.
I would rather change due to wisdom than wait til a crisis happen becuase I know that it will not be a easier path to walk.

Lord, I thank you for 2007 and I look forward to a better 2008 crown with Your goodness, blessings and abundance!
