Updates!
I forgot how long holidays have begun, seem never ending but end in no time. IMF is over and the minus point of it was the long hours of waiting. Basically we were being paid to sit there to watch television, play board games and munch on chips. At lease this event got me out of my house and got to meet some really interesting people round the world! Met some friends in the "container" and holding area at the national stadium and airport. As usual, I am the quiet one.
So, last week and this was all about IMF and baking cakes and cookies. Yes, I can bake; after a million time of trying. So, on Friday evening my "can-make-it" cake was born and I still got to work on my rock-like cookies. Poor Daddy, he finish up everything even though I know it doesn't taste good. How would burned cookies taste good, you tell me?
It just got into me that I've been laying my hands on things that I can either bake or make. Just today, actually yesterday's afternoon, I made some moon cakes! It's not as difficult as it seems but it was really a lot of hard work and patience. But we did have fun!
So, with the IMF done it's back to where I left off with my "program". My apologies, Azri, for running with you only ONCE. Holler me and we'll go run! Sheena, call me up so we can head the gym together.
You know, it's weird knowing that people visit your blog but you don't know who they are? Leave a message or two will ya? It's scary at times.. *BOO!*
---------------------------------------------------
I bought Ellen DeGeneres' book on Tuesday and finished reading it on Wednesday; can you imagine how boring it is while waiting for delegates! It was a great book, though there are some dreggy parts. I've placed special customer order with Kinokuniya (did I spell correctly?) for two more books from Ellen and Betty DeGeneres and it's due to arrive in 4-6 weeks. Glad that they had such service, else ordering from Amazon will burn a hole in my pocket.
Well, some will ask why I have a sudden interest in Ellen's shows and books. To me, I don't see her as a lesbian or some superstar; I see her as someone that I can learn and look up to. Oh well, not the bad side but the good ones! The other thing, she can make me laugh! So don't worry that I'll be sucked into some worldly stuff and distanced from God. Who knows, she may change one day! I'll be looking forward to that.

I forgot when's the last time I slept early.
Oh yah, on Thursday; 11p.m

Changed of number!
I've changed my cellphone number; update your phonebook!

In the world now, it so hard to be nice and good. When you're at the supermarket, seldom will you see the cashiers smiling at you; well, maybe you won't even find anyone smiling. The world is so glum and sour.
"You have been faithful in all of Your ways. Though we may not understand why we go through life this way. But we know what it's like to be by Your side. Teach us Lord to be like You, to be so faithful and true" I thought of this song when I was thinking of Ellen just now. Was sharing with Shirly the burden I felt inside me for Ellen on MSN and telling her how funny and unrealistic it is. Don't you think so? Let me tell my story.
See, recently I got to read up more about this talk host in US, Ellen DeGeneres, and I was so disturbed and affected when I got to know that she wasn't that "perfect"I thought she would be. With the world now, people might say being a gay or lesbian is common; but the Bible didn't say so! I don't understand and I don't know why I felt so upsad and dissapointed with Ellen! She's not related to me, I read about her online, maybe I won't even meet her in my life; but why these feelings? I have a urge to talk to her, tell her about God again and yes, get to know her deeper and pop the ultimate question "WHY?". But all that seems so... uh... speechless. I was thinking to myself am I thinking too much or there is really something? I was near to tears when I shared with Shirly, she's like a lost sheep...wondering..and God wants her back; am I right? Of course, it's my greatest wish to see her out of lesbianism from someone I would really love to look up to.
I can only pray and let God lead my way.

Had a chance to visit the VIP complex at the airport today! It's a once in a lifetime experience; it's like who can enter the VIP complex unless you're a VIP from other countries? Even if you are a VIP in Singapore, you won't go to VIP complex; you'll head straight home!
It's nice to have a good laught after a day's work. Ellen's show always make me smile and laught!

Although she's a lesbian, but her show is all healthy. Cheeky, funny and sometimes serious. She never fails to make her audiences laught! Her latest video on her friday's show was really funny.. talking about excercise; from the olden days equipments to the latest.. LOL

Nice place to jog
I found a nice place to jog today! Although it's near the road in the beginning of the journey, but towards the ending the view was magnificent. I did notice that place before, but didn't know it has such a nice view. Looks like there's still a lot to explore around!
For the first time in three weeks; I think, I have to wake up at 5.30 tomorrow morning.
Sleep early, Grace.

Her name is Ellen DeGeneres.
Great personalities, I like her character and she's cheeky! Reminds me of EC and SC. Started watching her talk shows a few days ago and finds it interesting. Today, went online to read up on her website and was a little dissapointed to know that she's not straight. She would be someone I would love to look up to, except for the other side of it.
I mean, I really like her talk shows, she's daring and out-spoken. But why must she be a lesbian? That just crushed that perfect image I had of her. Well, I'm sure there's other points I can learn from. Kudos to Ellen's Mamma.. for accepting her! God bless her still.
Way to go Ellen! I still hope for a change...

大学的负担好重
刚上网查看一些些大学资料；看了眼花花。。我是真的真的很想，非常想上大学！虽然家里只有表姐上过大学，而也因为她家比较有钱；我相信我也可以。对我家人来说我想上大学的梦想似乎是个达不到的梦，但我不想因为他们的“以为”成为我的一生。人因梦想而伟大，有了一个梦就有了一线希望。这个对有些人来说并不是什么梦想，但对我来说。。是我以前想都不敢想的！也不知道为什么越大就越会去想以前不敢想的东西。
看了 University of California 的几所大学，但都专著于奖学金和 Financial Aid 的部分。担心的有学费，生活费，居住地方，读哪课，还有。。家人的观点。老妈可能会超反对，我也担心如果我读大学；他们会不会经济上有问题？他们并不需要为我什么零用钱和担心我的学费啦，我是担心老妈会因为我读大学而得继续工作。我知道他们的心愿就是要我赶快读完书，然后做工养他们。谁的父母没这个心愿呢？养我一定会，只是我想把我的最好给他们。还有，我一直都很想在国外生活；可能不能长时与父母同住。。那又是一个担忧！好多好多要想的！但我相信主会开路的！无论多困难，多没法子，超不可能也好； 要是上帝应许他比会实现我的小小梦想！
想上大学的负担好重。希望能拿到什么 Christian Organisation 的奖学金。同是能侍奉与念书！
想离开这个国家，离开这熟悉的地方，换个环境体验新的生活。我真正生命的开始好象不在这里。
IMF 与世界银行大会即将在明天开始。我从星期二开始值班，然后忙到23日。其中还有考试和复诊。加油！
主阿，我相信！我要相信！！

After three long days of selling CDs
SOP BBS members!
Long deserved super after three days!
Last day's packing up. Grab a CD now if you haven got one!
"Mommy" for that three days and three "little" kidsFinally got the pictures from Cindy! Been waiting for almost a month; it's funny how I took for granted the power of zipping up folders. I'm surprise so many people around me still doesn't know that there's a function called "ZIP" on their PC. Well...
I'm into 2 weeks of my LONG holiday. Everyday, EVERYDAY, I woke up pass noon; wooo!! Boy, that was what I always wanted. But sleeping so much and so late everyday just gets so tiring at times. It still feels good to wake up early and sleep early. After one week of sleeping madness, it's been to serious stuff. IMF and World Bank meeting is starting on Monday and my duty starts on Tuesday (12.09.06). Looking forward to it I surpose, though not sure where's the meeting place. Oh my... people are banned from going to Suntec City but I can enter it! Wahahaha!
So, there's the parent and child talk today. Wasn't what I expected, somehow like it's a touch-and-go talk. But one thing I learn today and it's really true! "Communication is lifeskills, it does not comes naturally". How true. After talk, we had congee! Dia and me had congee for our breakfast, lunch and dinner. Now to think of congee again... spare me. Something unpleasant happened after dinner, maybe not to the one that was affected, but somehow to me. As brothers and sisters in Christ; though we grew up together and were used to all the "hurting words" but I think what happened then was too much. Someone just asked a question and I'm really shocked how the other replied. I guess, an apology is needed?
I'm not trying to pin-point anything here, but as leaders.. even to your closest kin.. I'm sure each person will still need to have the basic respect and pride. Get what I mean? Yes, we all made mistakes and of course... we are not that perfect. It's good to learn from mistakes and overturn them. But... such "actions" shouldn't be carried out too often, it'll be good if never. Though it may appeared to be nothing, but I'm sure the hurt is still there.
*I hope you're not offended or anything, if you're reading. But I hope and am sure many others wouldn't like such things to happen*

It's You
It's You
Do you know
What's it you're missing?
Have you met
The author of your life
Don't you know
It's you He's seeking?
It's your hand, your heart
He longs to hold
He reveals himself
When you do not seek
He speaks in your heart
When you do not ask
All He ask is to walk this journey with you
And He longs for your response
(C)
Heed His call
Take His hand
It's you He wants to restore
Hear Him say
"My dear child, your sins I count no more"
It's for you He gave
All that He had to give;
Jesus Christ
The saviour of your life
A brother wrote this song and shared it with me today. It was an amazing song and how the song came about just once again reminded me that our God is almighty. Recently, I have so many thoughts going through me and in times I was so flooded with them. Also, I seem so lost nowadays; it's like "where am I?". My confidence, I see no more. My zeal, I feel no more. My words, seem to have lost it. LOST. But I know I'm not lost in God, He's holding me near. All I need maybe is to quiet down myself and seek God once again.
Holiday started, many many things to do. Here's a list:
1) STUDY for sub-paper(s)
2) READ and STUDY the Bible
3) EXERCISE; don't laught
4) BECOME a better leader, person for God
5) COMPOSE songs
6) IMF meeting
7) CHRISTMAS planning
8) CHURCH's monthly schedule(P&W)
9) READ a book
10) NEW cell phone?
Oh by the way, I just discovered that my cell phone lost its way. Couldn't find it. Maybe it's at Pei Shen Lao Shi's place... maybe on some bus. So many thoughts, so many lessons to learn, so many experiences to go through, so many feelings to feel. Thank you, God. One day, I know I will be able to compose a song for you, from you.
If you need to contact me, MSN me or call my home :)
