Today marks the last day of YPM Friday Prayer Meeting. And I feel a tinge of regret,disappointment and sadness...
I've been in Prayer Ministry for about 5 years when Chris just took over...and transited to matt,came doreen who joined us...3 of us --> Matt, Doreen & I, the core for Prayer min...we've been thru it together for 3 years and now...it's time to say goodbye.
I remember how when we first got together, 3 of us wld think of nice exotic places to go for dessert. I remember very clearly once we had no idea where to go and decided to just drive around east coast and siglap and decided tt we'll settle on the cafe tt we've nv been to and liked the feel of it.but in the end,i think we ended up not eating at all.haha...
Then,Matt decided that we shld all meet up on Friday mornings to jog,pray and have breakfast.Doreen was still studying,taking her diploma for drama or something and I....had all the time in the world cos i had my own shop.We were at the closest because we had so much time to share bout our week, encouraged one another with our ups and downs,and how God pulled us through and then we'll pray for each other,prayed in the Spirit and asked God for prayer pointers before we discussed,talked further and headed off for breakfast. That was our strongest time,and we had almost 20 pple turning up for prayer mtg.unity was there.
Perhaps...we weren't ready/prepared enuff for the big number,and attendance started to drop from 20...to 15....10....and den...5...or less...
It was also a time when Doreen went back to teach,and I...started working.We met lesser and lesser,prayed lesser and lesser and things started to tear us apart (ministry wise).We felt totally drained out with all the commitments and deadlines and pple who served alongside us just dropped out due to personal commitments.
It was a disappointment to see these pple falling out....but sometimes...i wonder if i was the cause of it...due to some personal relationship problems,had I caused these pple to feel weird attending FPM?Or....caused em to stop supporting us because of tt personal problems?I will nv know...but till now,i still think that I was the cause for the fall of FPM. Had i wake up my idea,had i matured earlier....things may not have turned out the way things are now....
I know God still has plans for me in the area of prayer....I know..he wants me to support YPM Prayer ministry...but because of the problem..and disappointment...i know I can nv continue playing a part in this ministry.Besides, the burden is too heavy for me to bear.
Reflecting back on all that has happened in FPM,the good and the bad,the pple who started off with us, the pple who came....and left....these are all special memories that I'm sure those who feel for FPM will always remember. I know that God WILL DEFINITELY rebuild this ministry and I pray that the person he has in mind will take up the challenge and lead the young pple to greater heights.
FPM...will always be a part of my ministry 'memories'.....the only ministry tt I actually committted for so long,yet nv feel like giving up....or feeling tired even tho it takes up my fridays...but i guess...when u gotta go...u gotta go.
To my fellow core members....
Matt,you made a great LEADER...thanks for always giving me a chance to explore new ideas, for always believing tt I had potential....for not condemning me..like many would and for being such a great friend. This is not the end of the ministry for u.Make full use of those 2 years to learn and experience more of God and bring back whatever you have learnt to share with many young people who are hungry for more of God.
Doreen...the one who's always late...u were the best mentor and friend i had!Thanks for being there at my lowest point of time,bringing me to the HK cafe,showing me where secret garden was and comforting me when i needed it most. You've been such an encouragement and I know that God will definitely bless you when you're out there tentmaking!Continue to be tt supportive friend u are...and i know u're a great sister and daughter to your family too. God bless u!!
to the NOW regular members:
Ee Foo: U're always an encouragement,supporting this ministry with your words of encouragement. I see you have a heart for the young people.Don't let go of this desire to mentor them.Your efforts are not in vain and God sees your heart. Great is your reward. I'm encouraged to see you persevering despite all the 'politics' in church. Hang in there bro!
Zhao Yan: Language may be a barrier...but yet..ur prayers are ever so sincere...I pray that you'll continue to shine for God and be a testimony to the many in church. Keep praying!
my bro: tho you dunno the existence of my blog..and i wun wanna disclose this blog add to you.(sorry..wanna keep this blog as confidential as i can), I know you desire to pray and grow in this area too. Well....will continue to guide youi from home...if i can.OR...you can assist in pre servie prayer. Keep praying!
To all those who were once regulars of FPM, thank you for sharing the good times with us. We really missed you and wished you were there for the last time with us. It was the best prayer meeting after so long!
To those who decided to join us after attending the prayer conference, it's encouraging to see u guys wanting to increase your prayer time and increasing your depth of prayer...too bad....it was a tad too late. I pray that God will use you all to rebuild prayer min again...
To all who reads my blog...PRAYER IS THE BACKBONE of EVERY MINISTRY and it is not just for intercessors, EVERYONE is Called to PRay but not just to Pray,but to PRAY IN FAITH.(i quote Matt who made this Prayer Min's objective,you have left a legacy.)
So keep praying!!!
All the way to the West!
I went to my other office ytd after work thinking I shld get some work done after lazing and procrastinating for too long, my heels was killing me (new pair la) and from the station to the office it takes bout 10mins to reach?so..there i was grumbling and whining from tanjong pagar to JE.
On my way there...guess who i met??
one of the LOVELIEST couple i've known since i was a young little gal ----> Meng Li and Andy!!!
Meng Li took care of me for 1 sunday school camp and I remember how much i adored her that whenever this other girl tried to snatch the attention away, i rmb how i'll try ot grab her attention again.haha....so young but already know how to fight for attention.heh...
As for Andy, I knew him when i was a young teenage gal and just joined TC. I was in his cell - Timothy and there were quite a number of hunks and babes there.Andy qas no exception.haha..i rmb how some of us will admire him from afar and exclaim how cute he looks.But looking back now, well..it was really very typical of teenage gals.
This couple have been together for almost a DECADE! and I'm so happy to hear that they're finally tying the knot next year!!
ok...back to my lousy day....after i went to the office...they told me they were closing.wah!!when I heard tt,i became even more sian. Thinki8ng of the time wasted travelling down,worried bout not having sufficient time for revision and the time taken to travel back.
What made my day worse was that when i reached tampines, i went to the interchange to buy my dinner.decided on yong tau foo.the pple serving had a very bad service and i tried not to let it affect me.when i reached my bus 'stop', the bus just left. so ended up having to wait very long, with my aching feet! Den...while waiting,i found out tt the plastic bag was leaking!!!argh!!the container wasn't tightly closed and the chopsticks had caused a small hole in the plastic bag.
Wash!!at tt time ah...i really super super super sian.Den suddenly a thought came into my mind..God maybe teaching me Perseverance. Everytime i feel like it's a bad or unlucky day, I try to link it up in a positive way and think if there's something God is trying to teach me.So after i thought about it, i just thanked God for whatever happened and I felt better immediately.
I guess everytime something bad happens, there is always something we can learn from it. I learnt not to wear new heels when i know i'm gonna do alot of walking.haha..no la..i learn to give thanks in all circumstances.
On a happier note, i just dyed my hair ALL BLACK!!woohoo...messy and troublesome.nxt time,i shall just pay more to get the hairstylists to do it. will be rebonding my hair soon! I can't wait!!

EMO
i've been feeling emo of late...was worse after i came across a particular blog...but after thinking much about it....i just feel so dumb as to why i shld get affected by it.yup.prayed bout it and simply commited it to God.
I know i'm not perfect, and I know it's time to resolve issues,but yet...it takes alot of GUTS and pride. It's easy putting down tt pride....but the guts?i seem to have lost it all.yup.the person who hated avoiding issues, the person who always wanted to talk things out,clarify matters cease to exist. I just feel that sometimes the more i try, the worse the situation becomes and hence, i give up explaining or clarifying myself and just keep quiet and avoid stuff.
Was just chatting with a gd friend of mine bout office politics and how true it is...we all live in a fallen world and we really need God's strength to overcome everything. I feel like i've been a bad testimony at work, and it's not easy getting along with pple who step on ya toes. Lord, Please help me to get along with the pple who hurt me, push me over at work and to show em the love you have for me. Being a child of yours,I pray tt you'll help me to PUSH and Press on. Amen!
I just feel like adding this in.It's so RANDOM..but...well..haha
Life IS like a BED of Roses,because even though roses are lovely, they come with a price ---> THORNS.So.. Let's pray that whereever we are, we'll fight the good fight, and continue to be strong WARRIORS for Christ!

New Week...
it's monday again!!and as usual...it's back to an environment where everyone is just play acting. sometimes,it's not the job tt makes u wanna leave...it's wat your colleagues are doing tt simply irks you. I thought to have 1 such colleague is enough,but there came this new staff who joined us a few months ago, initially, we all thought since she was way older than us,she will be more matured..but few months down the road, the true colours show up.haha...she's equally similar to the like of the political person tt most of you wld have hear me mention and it's just very disgusting looking at how these pple tryso hard to get the manager's attention,act pathetic in front of the boss but at work,are the pushovers,the one giving problems and pusing the blame to me and this other colleague.
Gosh! thank goodness i'm not here for the promotion,else,i dunno how affected i'll be.ys!everyone's just trying to so hard to be the next senior consultant (tt's the nxt level of promotion) and me?hahaha...i seem happy getting by,looking forward to pay day every mth till the day i quit. Which i'm looking forward to.
An office environment like this sure turns pple off and had i known earlier that the environment was like this,i wld rather have started off as a receptionist or something. I was conned..haha..but nevertheless,there's alot of things tt i can learn from here, so I'll just see it from an optimistic point of view tt God's teaching me something here and i'll take every opportunity to learn and experience more of him.
I praytt u'll have a blessed week and things will fine!! till the next post!! ;)

Christine thought this looked as if the guy taking it was promoting the steamboat business and so...

Well folks,tt's abt all the photos i have for steamboat.i'm still waiting for my girlfriend to send me more photos tt we took when we went to celebrate their bday....till den!
IKEA DAY!!
it was the long awaited day!!! Qiu Lin and I planned to visit IKEA long long ago and we finally went last evening, the only day I had no class for this week.
We actually spent 2 hours shopping and it wasn't even enuff but alas,the store was closing and we had to say goodbye to ikea. Here's some pics to do the talking!
2 people, but these were what we ordered.
Chiew Ling's 1st attempt. She said the pic didn't look good..and so...
we took another 1...but it looked too blur....then...
Finally!a successful attempt!i wasn't caught in the act k!
this is chiew ling!advertising for the swedish meatballs!haha..we had so much fun talking,eating and hanging out@ikea!
i strangled the ostrich and so......chiew ling said to take a pic cos I was abusing it and we decided the pic will make a good memento.it was hilarious,after we took this picture,pple who walked past us were looking and smiling(secretly laughing) at us.Gosh!can u imagine how we actually made a fool of ourselves.haha
how can we not advertise for IKEA after an evenig spent there. our final shot before we head off for home! My bad was really heavy and she was so afraid tt the bag will tear.
But for 30 cents, the paper bag is very durable! Can buy can buy!haha...
I can't wait for my nxt trip to ikea.I just love shopping there!
P/s: my parents are loyal customers of IKEA too.haha...and my dad says he goes there very often.hahaha
Alright...Tt's all folks!!

Sunday!
I felt extremely happy on Sunday!! I don't know why.Maybe cos i was wearing my new dress bought at $49.90 only and I really love it!!! Then i went to Brise De Joie with Gillian and we had such great fun posing for photos. Here's some tt we developed.
With big hipopopopopo
in the box with BIG BEAR!!
Big bear came out for a break.
heh...interesting pics eh??I had another one with a giraffe, if u wanna take such photos,ask me how and I'll tell u. ;)
Prayer Conference
At last! The Prayer Conference is over. It was...OK only. I didn't find it exactly fantastic or very God-experiencing,but it sure gave me a bigger guideline as to how to pray more and what to pray and what bible verses I can quote as I pray. There were mixed comments and feedback by most who attended, and majority liked it although I dun understand why.
His seminar is quite boring and I had to try to force myself to stay awake.I noticed tt alot of church leaders didn't atted at all.Talk bout setting good examples.Or should I say,too high and mighty,too proud and self centred that they dun need to learn from others? Hmm..
Let God Judge.

Facing the Giants
I just watched the movie....and boy was i touched by the moral of the show.
This movie talks about how everything seemd to be going downhill for the football coach and he was at his wits...until he decided to accept Christ and turn to God...out of desperation where he sees how God blesses him in every aspect he needed when he simply just trusted God.
I was so touched by it because it showed God's sovereignty and when something seems impossible, God just makes it possible. If you'll just praise him and trust Him.
It's true...the Lord has blessed me tremendously this week by showin me His divine favour at work. When all seems impossible filling out those positions,i just seem to be closing them 1 after another. If we'll just avail ourself to God. IF we just did it and simply prayed.
Why do we only turn to God when we need him? Why do we turn to him out of desperation? or when we're discouraged? or when we're in despair?
Why can't we turn to him during our good times and our bad times?If only we'll just do it,won't we see our lives turning for the better?Won't we be able to receive greater blessings?
Well my friends, I pray and hope that like me,you'll learn to walk with God thru the good and bad times. Just like you will in a relationship be it BGR or friendships. God wants to be our lover and friend as well.
Keep praying! And i sure hope top hear testimonies form you guys too!!share with me when u seem e on msn or simply tag me yeah?I love to be encouraged! cheerios!

PRE HOLIDAY...
Eve of public holidays is something working adults always look forward or are excited about because it means they get to have a day off from work. But I seem to be dreading it knowing tt I won't get to rest as much, plus there's a prayer conference tomorrow which i feel somehow obliged to go knowing that prayer is part of my life and because i'm in the prayer min and i find no excuse turning matt down, plus the seminar isn't tt expensive. Argh!!! and i even end up taking 1/2 a day off my precious leave just to attend it on friday.
I started my lessons on monday,today will be my third and I feel so tired.gosh!!! I dunno how i'm gonna survive tonight's lesson man.Yesterday's was a lil too difficult for me to pick up already. Tonight's has some calculations that we need to do,and friday i've to rush down from church to attend the class again. This is gonna go on for another week or so....
Lord, grant me the strength to push on man.
Yeah..i've not really been doing my QT because by the time I reach home, my eyes can barely open.ah...
Are u looking forward to the PH tom??well well...have a great hol! ;)

For my bestie
Read ur blog my dear, but i dun think i've the time to really talk to you on msn or meet up with you but I can totally understand how you're feeling.
Bout tt relationship with God, there was a period I felt tt way too. When loud music or jumpy music was sang during service, I wasn't as enthu as I used to be about dancing or showing how I love God and stuff. I just felt stagnant.I cldn't push myself to a higher level or to show tt enthusiasm I used to have.
Serving in church
Prolly like you, i used to serve very actively in church.from children min all the way to adult outreaches, wherever was called,i'll take it up and serve my whole heart out.
But i realised that working has caused me to stop serving tt actively and i actually suffered a burn out. Till now, I'm still not as active and enthu as I used to be. And I'm still suffering the effects of a burn out.
But I just wanted to encourage you and tell you that it's normal to feel this way.Do not think of it as you have sinned. God knows your heart. What's more important is that you still love God and you still want to draw closer to him.
When I went to church, it was more like being accountable to my parents, so that they cldn't nag at me for not turning up.Until 1 sunday when I finally found God.His presence was so real and he totally spoke to me.
I think I sound like i'm going in circles. Phil Colins once said tt many a times, we only read the bible when we FEEL like it. So if you FEEL tired,den u wun read the bible. But shld our FEELINGS play a part when we do our QT?
So i learnt tt even tho i may not FEEL enthu about dancing and stuff in church, I know I still love God and tt's what keeps me going.
It doesn't matter if you're not serving actively in church. Service to God does not mean just serving in church. There are so many contexts that can define your service to God. It can also mean serving in the marketplace, serving at home,serving in the community.
Babe, you get what i mean don't you?
So....I pray that you will ask God to give you a deeper Hunger for His Word, a desire to draw closer to Him. Don't be affected by the people around you. Rmb,it your walk with God tt matters more than anything.
Love you!hugz!

Wrong timing
argh!! I prayed that God will make me sick.....and indeed,he made me sick.but wat wrong timing!! This week,there's a ph...and i've got many work to do, plus lessons only start today.

the ROLE of a bus driver
Was just thinking about this this morning and I realised how important a bus driver's role is.
If the bus driver starts late, not only will there be a clash of 2 buses at the bus stop at the same time, but the waiting time will be extended by a few minutes. And tt few minutes can cause many commuters to be delayed at the train station and in the end, cause us workers to be more than 10mins late for work. and it's all thanks to the bus driver who was late.
This is what happened to me on a few occasions and thankfully, my company don't really bother how late you turn up for work. So it's still excusable.
But what about those who has to reach on time? They can't blame the bus driver because their bosses will nv buy their story..so....my conlusion is tt the role of a Bus driver is very important. Because the timings of the commuters is in their hands.
Agree?heh...
