Birth Of the buttlefly
A man found a cocoon.
One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then, it seemed to stop as if it had gotten as far as it could and could not go further.
So the man decided to help the buttlefly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped to enlarge the opening. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small shrivelled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected the wings to expand and the body to contract. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a bloated body and a pair of limp wings. It was never able to fly.
What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the cocoon's tiny opening was nature's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings, making it ready for flight once it got out. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If we went through our lives without obstacles, life wouldn't be challenging enough. We would not be as strong as we could have been. We would never fly!
Read this story in the office today and I think it is more than just meaningful. Struggles, all of us experienced it, it's a matter of facing it or running away from it. The more we run away, the more it came closer.
I hasn't been a good week for me. First I have to deal with my emotional problem, then came my internal struggle. Now, everything is cleared, I can see the sky again. After the meeting with Si Yun, it had helped me a lot. I have realise certain emotion for him. Today is his last day at work, and the day is ending already. Duane didn't come today, and Eli went for lunch on his own. Left me and him. It was raining this afternoon, we shared an umbrella and went to my favorite foodcourt. He suggested it, I didn't. He knows that I like that foodcourt-- That's nice of him. Me and him had lunch together.. God, did you arrange this? Thank you God, I had a great time. We chatted during lunch, got to know him deeper.
I bought a card and a bookmark for him, think I will hand over to him tomorrow. He says he will be coming over for a meeting tomorrow. Wrote him a letter as well, expressing all my feelings for him. Manage to get his number as well, at least there is a hope to keep in touch.
Leaving office already, the rest are going. Wonder how tomorrow would be.. without him..

He's leaving..
He told me just now, he will be leaving after this week. It happened so fast, I didn't know how to react. To be sad or to be happy? Sad because I won't get to see him in office any more, happy because his eyes will not be under too much stress. I don't know.. maybe I just don't want to know....not that I don't.
Met up with Si Yun last night for dinner, shared with her about him. I cried, because of the fear of losing him. I'm afriad, yes I am. I think Si Yun was right, He came into my life for a purpose-- to help me discover something that I will never discover them myself? Most of the time I appeared to be strong and firm to others. Never easily beaten, the kind that will not cry easily. Inside me, I am the opposite. I'm actually in search of security and someone that can protect me. I know God is there, but someone on this earth where I am living now. He came into my life and he showed me that he can. I know him for less than a month, but the feelings for him were like.. I know him for a long long long time. One week, just one week, that's all it takes for me to develope a crush on him. Stupid?Puppy love?
Feelings for Lawrence wasn't even this strong. Yes, I like him as well before, but for him, the feelings is just totally out of this world. Why? I don't know.
Si Yun was doing a test on me last night, about my inner feelings all that. One of them, she asked me to focus on one thing that caught my attention in the room. The poster that Uncle Bao Ming gave to grandma caught my attention. It's about a verse in the Bible. The starting word is "Jesus". Actually the poster did not caught my attention, the word "Jesus" did. Suddenly these thoughts just came to me. No matter what happen, Jesus is always there. All may leave, but He will always be there..
I will have to learn to let go of my emotions for him, so... to both of us, it's good. I like him, at the same time I want him to be happy. If it's better for him to work at home, work at home then-- just that I won't get to see him any more. Lunch time and office hours is going to be so different. I will miss you!
Isn't it funny, everyday I get to see him, talk to him. But he knows nothing about all the feelings I had for him. And I will have to watch him go this friday.. What is this man.. torturing me..
Yes, I hope that he will know about the feelings I had for him, but at the same time I don't want him to know as well.. Fearing that things will not turn out well. At least now, the friendship is good. Grace, treat him like a friend, be normal to him.. One day, you will smile it off.
Fear is making me go nuts.. Suddenly I remember Prof Ulf once mention.."Fear not, because fear is defeated." But.. I don't know what I want also.. So what if he knows about it, and... so what if he don't.. Oh man.. God.. carry me..

He's back...
He came to work today.. He was so tanned, looked so different. His skin on his upper hands were pealing, his hands are still so red. He's been putting on aloe vera gel and he didn't eat for lunch. He asked me if I was fasting, he is. My church didn't have the tradition of fasting, I think no one did. I did it once, for one week.
Maybe I shall fast again, for my confidence and to keep my motivation and passion burning. It has been dying down, but I will not let the fire go. I have come this far, it's too late to say "give up".
Many things in life I may not understand, I may not know the reason of happening-- But one thing I know, it is all under God's hand. No matter what happen, God will watch over me. Like what Prof Ekman mentioned before, "When you think you are too weak to carry on, too tired to move on.. Jesus says come to Him." Yes, Praise the Lord!! No matter how weak and tired we are, Jesus is always there. I always have this vision...
I was walking my path in life. At first it was lonely and empty. I was tired and tearing. I fell and hurt myself. I was on the ground, crying all by myself. No one cared, no one understood. Then, Jesus appeared in my life. He held my hands,wiped away my tears, tell me everything is going to be alright and walk the rest of my life with me. He lift me up from the ground and renewed my strength. He gave me the reason to smile again, a reason to live each day and a reason to be happy. I was smiling, because Jesus is walking beside me. He didn't walk in front of me, or behind me.. He walked beside me and held my hands. When I am too tired to walk, He carried me. When the storms are approaching, when my world seems to be falling apart, He hold me close and I know I am safe. In the dark and cold nights, Jesus is there. When I'm crying alone at night, Jesus knows. When my heart is broken, he mend it for me. But when I broke His heart, He forgave me. My life journey is never lonely any more. Though some times I teared, some times I wonder, but God will always be there. Never changing, never forsaking me. I share my inner most secreats with Him, and know that He will not leak the secreat out. He undertands when others don't, He cared when others are too busy, He gave me His attention and make me feel loved in this world. Nothing compares to you, Jesus. Can't live a day without your presence. You hold me close and tell me that I am yours. There is nothing to fear because fear is defeated. Satan can't stop me, because Satan is defeated. Jesus have overcome everything, EVERYTHING! Hallelujah!!
He's doing his work now, he helped me with my data entry just now. That's so kind of him to help me.. I think he had a hair cut? His hair look different.. HmMMm... Anyway, I'm learning to control my feelings for him, slowly I will forget this "feelings" I had on him. Most prob.. I think we can only be friends, he will treat me like a younger sister? Got to know that his younger brother is actually the same age as me or older by a year.. HmMmm.. So, I'm just like his little sister yeah.. Haha.. It's alright, may God's will be done and not mine. Friends can be good too, long lasting.. Where as relationships can blow off.. Put everything to the Lord, Grace. He will handle.
Having problem with my phone, maybe I will go back and call Singtel and ask. If the problem is not with them, I shall go back to the shop tomorrow after work.

My EQ
Your EQ is |
50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick! 51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese. 71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely. 91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that. 111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt. 131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin. 150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar. |
I should take a day off too... Hah!
Just reach office, Charlene told me that Erwin is not in the office today. He got roasted and had taken a day off. Haha! I should take a day off too, I am roasted too! Me and Erwin sat under the sun for 4 whole hours man! Erwin sat longer, non stop. At least I did went in to the cafe to buy drinks. Poor Erwin! Erwin was as red as a lobster, redder than me! I'm going from red to dark now, wonder what is Erwin's skin like? He told me that he can't get dark, only red. Ok, so... Red...then, back to normal? I don't know. Maybe I'll get to see him tomorrow and witness the condition of his skin.
Went to Bedok with Dad in the morning, hoping to get my SIM card replaced, but we had to move on to Sommerset. Replaced my SIM card already, free of charge. Thought will have to pay the bill and $30 for replacing a card. The next move, got to get a new handphone. Maybe I will go down to Lucky plaza to hunt for phone. Irene told me there are cheap and new phones there. I actually went hunting for phone yesterday at Bedok, but didn't find one that I really like. Found one lah, but no camera or price too high.
Haven been really reading the Bible and praying for the past few days. I'm getting lazy, oh no! What's my reason for that? Tired, no time... All that crap lah.. Isn't it funny? We humans complain we have no time for God, no mood to pray. But, look... God spend every second looking over us, protecting us and listen to us as and when we pray. But we can't give the same back to God. God, I'm sorry.
Though I may not understand God's way, may not know what He wants from me. But I wil walk in faith, knowing that everything will be alright in God's hand. Yes, some times we want things our way, so badly, that we rebelled against God. Often hurting others and ourselves. Humans..Humans...
I'm going to do my Bible study tonight and really pray to God. HmMmm.. Don't know what can I do in office today, seems like nothing to do like that. Suft net? Haha... HmMmMm...

His eyes... Bright..
Just came back from outside, a tiring day, but FUN! It's a gift that I can spend time with my friends. Went to church in the morning, after church a group of us went to Hougang Mall to shop for our "uniforms" for Easter Day Performance. Went to a number of shops and after a few hours, finally all of us got what we wanted. On Easter Day, the teens are going to be SO bright!
While I was in church today, I thought about him. Suddenly I realise... Many of times I deprived myself from doing or achieving the dream(s) I want to. Like him(Grace-knows-who), had a crush on him, but didn't dare to let him know. Fearing that something will go wrong when he knows about it. Get to know him not too long ago, but my feelings grew after I met him like.. a week?--- Should be less than a week... about 6 days. Others might think..."Oh, teenager is like that wan lah. See him awhile only say like him..."--- I don't know, don't wish to comment on this. The Bible says," Do not arouse love when it's not desire"--- May God's will be done and not mine.
I can tell others that, tell myself that..But inside me, sometimes I just want it my way. However, God knows what's the best for me. He's a good friend! Joke with me, talk... He can be counted as one of my best guy-friend. He's cheerfull, even with his health condition. I still remember, when I met him the first time, the impression wasn't good. First met him last month, he was wearing all black with his sun glasses on. He was cool, quiet and speaks with an accent. I didn't know about his health condition then. I thought this guy was proud or something, why would he wanna wear sun glasses indoor?
After I got to know him better, understood his condition and learn more about his character-- the impression just change the other way round. He has become part of my everyday thinking.
Sat under the sun with him, we were both burned at the end of the day. As red as tomatoes, but I actually enjoyed the time. We chatted, joked and had lunch together. He even showed me his wisdom tooth! Got to know him a bit more after that weekend. I lost my mobile on friday and on saturday, he smsed me to say that he will be late. But I didn't get the chance to read the message. Well, I will get his number again since he got mine. Haha, talking about it.. I have been waiting for him to sms me since I gave him my number..and when he really did.. My phone was gone!
My only worry, not his health condition, not his looks or anything. So what if he's got a health condition, I like him and admire him for what he is and who he is. I only have the fear that.. he will only treat me like a little sister. He's older than me, not a lot. Acceptable. When he told me he liked a girl, I was telling myself,"Be calm, Grace.Heart broken." But... when he told me that his feelings for her are almost gone.. HmMmm.. I was like..."ok"..
On friday, I saw his eyes, without his sun glasses. They caught my eyes and I can't forget them. They were bright, shiny.. He has this smell on him, not B.O, and I think it's special! He's tall, good looking, God loving and matured. Like a big brother..but... my feelings for him is not a big brother..
Hah! This is a secreat shared between me and God. Not even my bestest friends know, even if they do, they don't who he is. This kind of feelings is awful, but I can't control yeah. Some may think I'm stupid. "Grace, you are still young!" But, young doesn't means no feelings for people ma.. I may be young, but age cannot limit to what I can do or wanna do.
I missed him, haha... Anyway, will get to see him tomorrow. Every morning I wait for him to come it.. Spy him..haha.. No la, I'm not pervert!
That's all le lah.. got to go. God Bless!

Women...
By the time the Lord made woman, He was into his sixth day of working overtime.An angel appeared and said,
"Why are you spending so much time on this one?"
And the Lord answered,
"Have you seen my spec sheet on her? She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200 movable parts,all replaceable and able to run on diet coke and leftovers, have a lap that can hold four children at one time, have a kiss that can cure anything from as craped knee to a broken heart -and she will do everything with only twohands."
The angel was astounded at the requirements.
"Only two hands!? No way! And that's just on the standard model? That's too much work for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish."
"But I won't," the Lord protested.
"I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart. She already heals herself when she is sick AND can work 18 hour days."
The angel moved closer and touched the woman.
"But you have made her so soft, Lord."
"She is soft," the Lord agreed,
"but I have also made her tough.You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."
"Will she be able to think?", asked the angel.
The Lord replied,
"Not only will she be able to think, she will be able to reason and negotiate."
The angel then noticed something, and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek.
"Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model. I told you that youwere trying to put too much into this one."
"That's not a leak," the Lord corrected,
"that's a tear!"
"What's the tear for?" the angel asked.
The Lord said,
"The tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow, herpain, her disappointment, her love, her loneliness, her grief and her pride."
The angel was impressed.
"You are a genius, Lord. You thought of everything! Woman is truly amazing."
And she is! Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take"no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.
Theyare happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH
"Why are you spending so much time on this one?"
And the Lord answered,
"Have you seen my spec sheet on her? She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200 movable parts,all replaceable and able to run on diet coke and leftovers, have a lap that can hold four children at one time, have a kiss that can cure anything from as craped knee to a broken heart -and she will do everything with only twohands."
The angel was astounded at the requirements.
"Only two hands!? No way! And that's just on the standard model? That's too much work for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish."
"But I won't," the Lord protested.
"I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart. She already heals herself when she is sick AND can work 18 hour days."
The angel moved closer and touched the woman.
"But you have made her so soft, Lord."
"She is soft," the Lord agreed,
"but I have also made her tough.You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."
"Will she be able to think?", asked the angel.
The Lord replied,
"Not only will she be able to think, she will be able to reason and negotiate."
The angel then noticed something, and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek.
"Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model. I told you that youwere trying to put too much into this one."
"That's not a leak," the Lord corrected,
"that's a tear!"
"What's the tear for?" the angel asked.
The Lord said,
"The tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow, herpain, her disappointment, her love, her loneliness, her grief and her pride."
The angel was impressed.
"You are a genius, Lord. You thought of everything! Woman is truly amazing."
And she is! Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take"no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.
Theyare happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH
Sunday Morning?
It's sunday morning! Yeah, look at the time-- 12a.m
Just got back from church not too long ago, checked my mail and send some e-mails. Church today was fine, sang and acted for the Easter Day programme.
Yesterday was Enterprise Day, me and Erwin were stationed at the carpark for duty. Under the sun for 4 hours, both me and Erwin were "burned". By the time we take our break, we were like red tomatoes walking around. Erwin was wearing red some more, even redder! Morning was hot, but we had a lot of peace and quiet at the carpark, not so tense as compared to inside. Me and Erwin was like sitting by the road side, directing the cars. Had lunch, helped out in the closing, chatted with NJC people and EC... Then went home to change for church. Had a great time today, fully used arg! Haha~
Been with my recent job for almost two weeks, so far so good. Love the people there, although again I'm the youngest. They treat me very well, don't bully me.. We joke a lot.. especially you-know-who..Haha!
Am tired now, got to go bath and sleep. Sunday I always sleep "very early".. yeah...2, 3a.m.. not early meh?? Haha.. Ok, that sentence is full of singlish. Got to go.. God Bless..

Bad Fall...
Monday morning,students are having their holidays, but here I am in the office. Actually, it didn't matter to me anymore about holidays--Guess I have grew up more yah? Haha~ The rest are not here in the office yet, only me and Charlene.
Had a bad fall yesterday, fell from the bus and landed on the road. Praise the Lord my bones are alright, still am able to get up this morning..no fever,just pain. Didn't know how I fall also, one moment I was getting down the bus,the next I was on the ground, with extream pain. An uncle helped me up, thank God the bus didn't run over me. My knee was very painfull when I reached church, I expected the worse--fractured knees. But Hallelejah, nothing big happen. My both elbows were hurts, right elbow was the worse,bledding and big wounds. Now, let me name out the areas I got hurt. My two elbows, my right pointer finger,left wrist, both knees, both ankles and upper rib. *WoW* sound serious yeah? But thank God, no hospital admission is needed. Think will be find after this week or so.
Enterprise day is coming and I am looking forward to it. So many "big potatoes" will be there. Met Siyun and the rest yesterday at City Hall for Tsumani writting and Siyun brought plasters for me, big wants. Thanks Ah Bu! While we were talking about the Tsunami My Voice, Adriel saw CHC friends and passed some for them to write as well. Now I have like 10 Voices? But, not enough, need at least 800 voices?? Believe in the power of goals.Saw on TV that there will be a programme on Tsunami Relief Workers and Volunteers, hope after the programme, people will be motivated to wanna write the voices.
Anyway, got to stop blogging, Eli is here to use the computer. Update next time. God Bless.

God is everywhere
Saturday morning, here I am in the ofice. Didn't know five-days week applies to office people too, untill Erwin told me. The MD isn't here yet, and all of us didn't know what to do-- so, we are all checking our e-mails!
Went to the healing conference at indor stadium last night, but didn't get it. Too many people and I reach like 7p.m? There's people who queued like 5.30p.m and still can't get it! I waited outside the stadium even when we were asked to go home. God's presence was so strong, you can feel it even when we were not in the stadium. A lot of people stayed behind as well, hoping for a chance to go in. I send Mei Yi to the bus stop and went back to the stadium. I was near the east entrance when I heard a big commotion there. I went up and am surprise to see so many people still outside the stadium door waiting. The commotion was about a little boy, think he was sick and the crowd wanted him to get it, but the "guards" won't let him in. The people was emotional, a man even said," What if it's your child? It's a child's life!" and another lady said,"Jesus never turn anyone away, let the boy in!" I saw the mother and the child,the mother wasn't doing anything, she was there praying and hugging the boy. Finally, after a long while, the boy and his parents got to go in. The crowd cheered and left, but some still stayed on.
I then went down to the premier entrance, lesser people there, but still, hope of going in from the people is strong. Actually I went there to meet a friend, she actually got a letter to go in, but she gave her seat away. She was there helping the usher to calm the people down and explain to the crowd what was going on. Before we left, she came out and prayed together with the people waiting. We left around 10p.m and she drop me off at the station.
What am I surpose to do huh? I don't have to do calling, no one will pick up? So, came to surf net and update this blog?? Haha~
Anyway, yeaterday's experience at the stadium left a deep impression on me. People are so hungry for God! All the more I think we should reach out to the people in need. My that friend was right, God is everywhere! Jesus heals, just believe in Him!
Got to go, update when I have the chance.
