Well, i know it is weird to write about Christmas as it is already over. But never mind, As a Christian, Christmas is always on the go and never ending. During this Christmas although i never get to celebrate it with my family in Malaysia, but i made friends in Singapore and attended a cell group. They invited me to one of the member's place (Brian or is it Bryan) to have Christmas party and it is quite fun! Let us have a look at them shall we?
So, can you spot me? Hahaha... The second guy at the top from right wearing white is the cell leader named Louis and the lovely lady beside Louis is his wife. The guy beside Louis's wife is Brian or Bryan who is the one kind enough to open his house for us to throw the party. Well, i need time to know them right? I will update the names of everyone soon when i got the know them better ok?Ok, back @ Cheryl's place we had a big part @ her aunty's place (Aunty Zita) who is living just across Cheryl's place. Nice Condo by the way. At first when i arrive, i felt a bit awkward as many new faces around. Never mind, i get to know and memorize their names in a short time (Thanks to Cheryl and Aunty Agnes's help) The party was fun and we played some games (Don't forget the lyrics / Remember the lyrics) haha... forgot the name... Each team consists of 2 contestants and i am with Cheryl. To cut the story short, Cheryl and i won the game and got a prize!!! ITS A MUG! Haha... not to mention i have a lot of mugs already. Hehe... Anyway everybody was nice and treated me well too. So this is my 2008 Christmas and it was fun too. Also, i attended the morning session (8am) on Christmas day and i like the church service. (Miss BMCMC) hehe... Okok... it's time to go makan... later needa work.. hor hor...
As usual every sunday go to church for 1 and 1/2 hrs and go bc home after that. But to remember that, this sunday sermon is interesting. It's about Agape Love. Sounds very mysterious right? Well, let's look into it and understand better about Agape Love. There are two kind of love. Firstly is the Contitional love and it means decision follows love. (I feel loved; therefore I will love). Do anyone of us fall into this cathegory? Well most people love one another this way.The second kind of love is Unconditional Love and it is Agape Love. - Agape Love chooses to love but not just before there is emotion, but sometimes in spite of love. Agape is unprovoked love. Agape love is a choice. Agape is loving as God loves.There are three kinds of people which God calls us to show our Agape love to. 1. The lease of these (Losers) i.e beggars, the poor, the prostitutes and etc.2. The most of these (Winners) i.e Song Leads, athletes, successor etc.3. The worst of these (Our Enemies) i.e someone who hurt you, make you sad, cheater you.In the sermon, Reverent uses the example of Jonathan & David for the 2nd kind of people (Winners). Jonathan supported david wholeheartedly w/o jealousy and envy. Knowing that David is more stronger than him in many ways but still Jonathan supported him all the way. This example reminds me of my frienship with David and btw, i am jonathan (The owner of this space) I am good friends with him and for all the while i always supported him as he is to me. My mother used to tell me the story of Jonathan & David and i was quite amused by it. Well, God works in Mysterious way and He is full of surprises. LIKE ME!HAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!
In the office, you may have things to do but when things are done, you just got to find things to do again. Day after day repeat the same thing over and over again. But when your boss ask you to do something you don't know, that's even more interesting as you have to find your own way to impress him/her. That is just in the working world. How about family? Just a few days ago when i got back to Malaysia (Penang) my grandmother (dad's mom) is in pain and warded in the cardiac ward for 24 hrs of treatment and close care from the docs and nurses. I am sure she is going through unbearable pain although she has not spoken of it. I can still see it from her expression and body language. Hope she is stable now and be able to hold on as long as she can. Well, we cannot control our future so we ought to take good care of ourselves and also people around us. Regardless of family, friends, colleagues, employer, etc. As long as we help each other, we can make life simpler for many people and also ourselves. Everyone only have 1 chance to live and why not live it to the full, ya? So, being polite and helpful to people is a blessing to both parties because it makes everyone happy. As for now, i am stucked in the office alone with nothing to do but to write this entry. Waiting for my boss to come back and *Pang* back to work.
Have you ever felt liking something so badly but in the end because of certain reasons, you just got to let go. Well, life is always about choices and we make decisions base on choices that we have and make good use of it. Sometimes, God will ask someone to give u advise directly or indirectly without your knowing and when you really sit down and think back, you will find that actually is also God's will. I have to admit that i love to have a really good (i mean really good) desktop system for my own luxury. But when it comes to $, i met with a dead end. As for me, i joined the working society just only a week or so but already thinking of buying expensive goodies. Perhaps it is still early for me to be considering such extravagant desktop system. Who knows in 1 or 2 years time, i might have interests for other things. For the moment, hope that i can concentrate on saving $ and later if there is a chance, make my wish come true. I know it's a big sum of money, but as i said, it depends.
Time passes so fast and i could not imagine how my time spent with my family is so quickly drain away from me. But not to worry, my parents and i are always close as God is leading us everyday without fail. Hope to have a good future ahead not only me, but everybody.

Yesterday, i attended AMK Methodist Church *for those who don't understand the term AMK it means Ang Mo Kio* The sermon was about perseverance and sufferings. I find the topic very good and it emphasizes the very fundamental practices of a deligent Christian. I find the topic very useful to the teachings of today context because not many churches preaches about P & S but rather preach about blessings. No doubt blessings are what every believer seeks, but they must understand before getting the blessings they must also do something for the Lord in order to receive the blessings from HIM. Correct? Very simple example, in your work place, if you don't work and just sit down, will your boss pay you salary? So same goes to believing God. Moreover, He is the Almighthy and Only One. Rev Stanley Chua:"Perseverance means sticking with something for as long as God calls you to do. No matter how long it takes, no matter how difficult or painful it becomes, no matter how many discouragements and disappointments and obstacles you encounter along way""Perseverance only makes sense if you're heading the right direction"Just a sharing about the sermon. I find it very very useful and rare to get to listen to such teachings in churches nowadays.
Argh, my laptop is now 'sick', i had provide it with 'medication' and now it is a brand new lappy with nothing inside. -.-All my files were gone including photos, songs, movies, clips, also GAMES! But well, what to do... perhaps in the future i am selling this laptop and getting a new desktop instead. Better performance and quality for desktop!!
