Enjoying Life with YOU is all I ask for...

Recently I have been busy with Church admin and accounts. There are really lots of things to do, more than you can ever imagine! On Sunday, I worked till 10+ in Church trying to get everything settled but to my best ability I still cannot. But what I wanna say is actually all these stuff was done by Pastor Peter alone in the past. It must be hard on him. Thank God that he survived. haha. God was also kind to him by sending people to help him out. People such as Jason, Pauline, Rachel, Titus, me and many many many others. We share the heavy load and together we make a difference ya!

Though I was mentally tired after all the calculations, I was happy for doing the work of God and contributing my part in Church. Its actually a good environment to work in. I don't mind working permenantly in Church in the future actually. Because this job confirm will not clash with my ministry!! haha.

This afternoon, I received a call from Pastor Peter. He got the job!!!! The one he always desire for! I was really happy for him because he can finally work 5-days week and have more time for Church Ministry. I guess everyone is happy for him.

He is actually someone that I respect the most because I see his passion for the lost and his humbleness before the Lord really motivates me to run after the . He never fails to offer help whenever crisis strikes. At least for me. In my life, He took over the role of my Spiritual Father, he disciplines, scold and care. I really appreciate that. I know that I not only have a Heavenly Father that loves me but I also have a Spiritual Father who loves me.

I just wanna thank God for putting people in my life to guide me in this long journey. And I just wanna say a big thank you to Pastor Peter. You are really GREAT!! :)

Enjoying Life with YOU is all I ask for...

Yesterday morning, I read an article in the Straits Times regarding poverty in Singapore. I was sad to know that there are actually people so poor that children have to sleep early just to get over with their hunger pangs. They don't even get sufficient nutrients and vitamins for their body. While we people are having our fast food, they are there drinking water to fill their stomach.

A family of 6 stayed in a 1 room flat and a photo of their room was posted on the newspaper. Its really cramp and because they are so poor, they don't change their bedsheets. The bed were infested wioth bed bugs!! Children legs were bitten by bed bugs. Its really sad to hear that.

Children in such family have short concentration span and they end up going EM3. When they are discouraged in their studies, they tend to join bad companies, married and have children at an early age. And the cycle actually continues..

Friends, there are too many people like these in the world, though we cant help all of them, but we can help close friends around us who are unfortunately poor. Be a helping hand unto others and help to change their life if you can. Thanks.

Enjoying Life with YOU is all I ask for...

Today I was being locked out again!!!!! Yesterday was indoor and today was outdoor! I really really cant believe it. I went to church alone this morning so I was so afraid when I went down to dump some rubbish and to my astonishment, the door was CLOSED! I have left all my belongings in there and I don't even have any cents with me. I was really at a loss and don't know wat to do. I knew I need to call somesone to save me. So I ended up borrowing phone from an electrical shop. I thank God that the lady was kind enough to lend me. haha. I called Jason and he said he would come after his work. I waited around an hour and finally he arrived. haha.

That one hour hour seems soooooooooo long. This the first time I was being locked out and I felt so insecure loitering from bus stop, mac and to coffee shop. People were looking at me and they must be thinking that why is this girl walking around thomson. My conclusion after these incidents was to make sure everytime I go in or go out, the door must be open! haha. This should be the last time I am experiencing this.

Enjoying Life with YOU is all I ask for...

I felt clumsy yesterday. Basically clumsy. If Chu Ting were to read my blog, I guess she will be the first to declare that Freda is indeed CLUMSY! haha.

I went to church yesterday afternoon with Qiu Ling to do some admin work and she was there to do some revision. We were using the backroom so that we can on the aircon. The room was so messed up with all the stuff and the DRUM was inside too! Kim Guan had forgotten to keep it after his practice on Sunday. I was fed up because the weather was so hot and I got to slowly bring each component of the drum out to the hall, and I was hit by a loose cymbal on my head!! It was really painful you bet! Its better now la. haha.

Then after quite some time, I received a call from Sylvia, a group of them had reached church together and they were waiting for me to open the door for them. Who knows, the kitchen door was locked!!!!!!! Qiu Ling and I were locked in the kitchen!!! There were no ways to open the door from inside!!! We really panicked!! I called Kim Guan, and he told me to wait for Peter to come back. So I called Peter, he told me to go out using the back gate from the back room. I was so afraid!! The stairs were so narrow, I couldn't even see the way from above. And guess what? There was a plant which was infested with ANTS! It was disgusting. The whole plant was so gigantic that it blocked the way to the main gate. Anyway, I managed to get out without having ants crawling on me. haha. But poor Qiu Ling got to follow me down to lock the main gate for me after I get out to open the door for Sylvia and guys.

Then I took a bus on my way for my interview, and you know what, I slept on the bus and an auntie got to wake me up to get down at the interchange! So ma lu! haha. Then when I changed for train and reached Lavander Mrt station, I lost my way to the company. I got to call Qiu Ling and Joshua to check the street directory using the internet for me. Anyway, I still lost my way despite that, so I ended up taking a cab. To my amazement, the building was so near to the Mrt la. Aiyo.

Then finally, I went for my interview. Wow. For the first time I was interviewed by 3 people at the same time. It was really scary. They are the Hr Manager, Project Exective, Project Manager. I was interviewed for the position of Project Assistant. They asked many many questions. And they asked me to intro myself!!! I had a hard time answering but I still did. haha. Later on, they asked me to be mentally prepared to commit for long hours on weekdays or even stay overnight over the weekends if I were given projects to do in the future. They said this is the hard work that I have to sacrifice for the sake of learning. They asked me how much am I willing to learn. As you know I am very active in my church ministry so there is no way I can commit to their commitment such as working 8-9pm on weekdays and working on weekends, it will definitely affect my youth ministry badly in the long run. But I boldly told them that my church ministry is my top priority. I think I had shut their mouths off so I don't think I will get this job though it has good prospects and a good learning ground to start off with. I am really proud of my reply to them because I chose God first than the world! May God see my sacrifice and give me a better job! I will wait upon the Lord! Amen!

Yesterday as I was walking along a stretch of shops in a particular mall, I read a slogan " Different People, Each Unique". I like that. It really makes me think.

Last time, people used to ask me why am I different from others? Why are some people so rich some so poor? Why were some abused since young and some were being doted by their parents? And etc.... But as I looked upon God and ask Him Why, God told me that, the creation and the future of each individuals were planned way way way before we were in our mother's womb. And no matter what kind of situation you are in, as long as you looked to God, The worst situation can be the best situation you wanna be in.

So even if you are a handicapped, as long as you pray and have Faith in God that He is our Healer, and when God heals you, that kind of statisfaction and amazement is what an ordinary person will not experience. This is the power of God just as long as we seek him faithfully.

1 Thess 5:16-18

Be joyful always; pray continually;
give thanks in all circumstances,
for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Always remember that each and everyone of us is unique in God's eyes!!!

Wow!! Yesterday, I had an powerful encounter with God! I just felt that yesterday sermon was for me. haha.

R-eplacement
E-nounciation
N-ew Imagination
E-nlargement
W-alk SMART

I really need a new mindset and a revival!!! haha.

Anyway, I enjoyed my dinner last night with my family, we really had lots of laughter!!! I met my aunties last night and we chatted all the way back to when I was young. Oops!!! So paiseh. haha. em but the whole night was really boring. The atmosphere was not there. It was just simply a dinner only I would say. There were little saboing of the groom and the bride. And they were only 23 & 22 years old!!! So young right? haha. This is what the world has become. Will such marriage last? Are they at the right age to get marriage? Is this what God had planned for their life? These are the questions I ask myself after the dinner. haha.

Anyway, all that I can do as a distant relative is to give them my blessings. hehe. thats all.

Its another Saturday!! Here I am in church doing some admin stuff and waiting for Service to start. Really cant wait to meet God and see what He has to say to me!!! Interesting. Em straight after Service, my sisters and I will have to rush down to meet my parents to attend my relative's wedding dinner.

Initially, I was quite reluctant to go because, I do not even know who is the groom and bride!!!! And I do not have clothes to wear for the occasion, for this is the first time I am attending a wedding dinner. However, the reason why I agreed to go in the end was for the sake of my family. This is the first time I am going for a formal dinner with my family. It has been a long time since we sit together for a dinner such as this. And due to my workload, I have since spent little time with them, so today I am going for the dinner!!!! But my excitement level is still low because the thought of the food that we will be having and the thought of the typical programme for such dinner on Drama, makes me ....... okay. Nvm. Who knows, it will be the opposite. haha. Be POSITIVE!!! Tell you more when I have experienced it.

Time to prepare my heart for Service!!! SEE You!!! :)

Today, I attended cell group in church. It has been a long time since we last had our cell meeting held in church again. Previously, we held our cell meeting at Sylvia and Cecilia's place so that they will be able to join us. But now, they are able to join us in church!!!!!! Praise God!!

Cell meeting ended later than usual today because it was a powerful one. haha. Everyone shared about their life and this is what I think a cell meeting should be. I felt very comfortable with each and every cell member, thus everyone were able to share their prayer requests. We prayed for one another just like a big family. Its really an unforgettable encounter. In the midst while we were praying, I remembered and was touched by how and what God had done in my life that had bring forth the person I am today. From a young girl to a young lady today. A more confident me. Though I took a different path as my peers in life and others may not understand and look at me with tinted glasses, but I believe God is with me wherever I go. This path that God is leading me, gives me security of my future. I have no doubts in our Almight God.

I have not regretted following and I am willing to give up my Everything to follow Him for the rest of my life. :)

I finally got to eat TAU SAH PIAH today!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And unexpectedly, it was from Glen. Actually, it was because he promised to treat me. haha. Its really really nice. Tau Sa Piah from Balestier. Try it, if you have not!

Glad that God gave Glen an opportunity to prove himself once again. I was really happy for him. Cant wait to see him back in his uniform and being back to school. This is the day he had been waiting for so long, but Brothers and Sisters, he had only won half the battle, he is still waiting for a reconfirmation from his school. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pray hard for him ya!!! Thanks!

And as usual I had my Organisation Behavior lecture tonight. I learned alot again from my lecturer and enjoyed many of his jokes. Esp the one on Bah chor mee and cctv joke. It was a political joke on the election but it was for the sake of social learning purposes, no other meanings. haha. After lecture, Yin Teng and I strolled our way to the bus stop and on our way, on the bridge, we were shocked by our crazy Glen!!!!!!! He made a super loud noise from the back of us and we were truamatised for a minute or 2. We nearly scream! So it was Glen, Qiu Ling and Titus who came to fetch us from school. Personally, I was really touched when I saw them, for it was the first time that friends actually came to fetch me from school!! The feeling was undescribeable. And amazingly, they found their way there. haha. Thanks for taking that effort to come though it was actually a waste of your time, but I appreciate that. :)

We went for dinner together and had a hard time hiring cab because there were 5 of us. Many cab captains were law abidding but we managed to hop onto one and reached our destination. haha. There were lots of laughter and I enjoyed my dinner with them. heee.

Tonight, I experienced the power of FRIENDSHIP. You can have many friends, but some will fail you and some will go through thick and thin with you, but ultimately, you will decide the friends you want to be with and the type of friendship you want to establish. I have found them(All church members) in Harvestlife Church. Have you found yours?

Enjoying Life with YOU is all I ask for...

Sometimes I wonder what lies ahead
How long till my hunger is fed
They say it's hard to make it in this part of town
So many people on this merry-go-round

Some folks try astrology
Some turn to crystal balls
To find an answer,
To get through it all
I just fall on my knees and I try to pray
In the silence I can hear Him say

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time

I often feel like I'm two steps behind
Somebody must have moved that finish line
There are a thousand reasons
Why I should give up
But I'm stubborn in the things I believe

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign

'cause maybe there's another plan
One I still can't see
A little surprise, like your love in my life
Funny how time changes how we see

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its timeEverything in its time

Dedicated to everyone who are reading it.

Its another busy but memorable monday. haha. I did many many many things today. Firstly, I start off my day by having mac breakfast with Qiu Ling. Then I accompanied Qiu Ling to her ASM Group for an interview and while waiting for her, God gave me a verse.

Do not let your heart envy sinners,
but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord.
There is surely a future hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off.

Proverbs 23:17-18

This gave me the motivation in my job search and in my life. Its a confirmation from God that I am not forgotten by Him and not only that, my future is in good hands of the Lord. He will give me what is best for me for He knows me BEST!!!!

okay, I shall continue. Then I went to Peace Centre in Douby Ghaut to see doctor, and who knows, the padding on my heels came off and I was left stamping on the ground with that irritating metal tip of my heels. It was so noisy that aunties looked up at me! So embarrassing!!!! I wore that for the whole day as I cannot find a pair of heels that I like in Plaza Singapura. I was badly affected by it actually, but nvm its all over already. I will say goodbye to that pair of heels. haha.

Then, I went to International Plaza to meet my agent Nicole who recommended me for a job as a planning asst/ buyer in Enzer. She wanted me to fill up my particulars and show me the way to Enzer. And to my amazement, Enzer is located so near to my place!! Around 4 stops away. After meeting her, I went to Enzer for interview. I was not confident throughout the interview but I hope I can get the job!!! Because the timing suits me well. haha most importantly, it will not affect my ministry and studies! So pls pray for me people!!! Thanks!!!

Then I went for BS lecture today. The lecturer was late and the reason was because he had no cash with him so the taxi captain got to make a trip to the atm and then uturn back to MDIS. He was not very late actually, but all of us got to stand and wait for him to open the lecture hall for us! That made many people furious because they were perspiring. haha. anyway, today lecture was a bit chim and 3/4 of us did not understand what the lecturer was trying to bring across, but I made it in the end. Am I clever??? I need to do lots of revision too, to do well for class test which is on 28th June. Very SOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!! ooopppsssss.

Thats about it. Hope you guys enjoy my daily entry. Goodnight! :)

WoW!!!! What a wonderful Sunday afternoon. I woke up at 2 pm this afternoon. haha. Let me start with saturday entry. Em Yesterday, as per normal we had our weekly service. And I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to those who bought the devotion booklet, sorry that the fonts were so small and all the words were in black as the colour printer was down. I promise that I will not produce this in the next series. oKay, let me continue, we had our unwind duet last night, I guess it must be a memorable one for everyone. It was really a unwind session for me as I had a hectic week. I was really tied up and tired but happy for doing the work of God and be part of His Great ministry. okay, back to unwind. I sang the first song Shui Jin with Jordan and he really gave me a shock!!!! He din't tell me beforehand what he will be doing can, but I was generous to play along with him. ( you guys know what I meant right? ) for the sake of all you people okay. Be honored guys! haha. Next I sang Baby, Sorry with Karen, she was very nervous as this was her very first time singing on stage. But she did it!!! So proud of her. haha. After unwind, some of us make a trip to airport to continue to unwind. haha. we played pictionary ( guys vs ladies ) and the ladies WON! And all the guys got to overturn their top and bottom!!! our church guys can really run man!!!! They run as if we are after their lives!!! haha. Anyway, they really change and they looked really funny. We went home in the morning 6+ am, some of us were like zombies, unfortunately, I was one of them. Haha. We all really enjoyed ourselves last night ya? But, for those who did not went with us yesterday, we will all go together again when we have the time okay?? okay i slept at 7+ am and woke up in the afternoon 2pm and I watch the show I Not Stupid TOO!!! It was really meaningful and I cried. My tears were like tap water. Kept flowing, cant stop. The morale of the story was, look at the positive side of people, for this case youths like us. Spending quality time with one another is also very important. Do check out the movie if you have not done so. Okay Enough for today, God bless!!!! :)

Today my cell group had our very first BBQ Outreach Event at Sylvia's place!! Many people turned up wth 30+ in attendance. There were many new friends! I was shocked and amazed.I was so proud of Sylvia and Cecilia! They were so capable of bringing friends. I really believed that being able to bring friends are their gift from God. haha. I burnt my skin while bbqing. So PAIN! I wore black and it absorbed all the heat thats why! me and my stupid idea! ok stop laughing at me guys! haha. okay. we wasted many food too. We threw away half bottle of butter, 1 can of kaya, 1 bottle of syrup, 1 packet of you tiao, 1/3 tray of bee hoon and etc. we din't managed to finished 150 satays, Anna got to bring back 50 chicken satays. We also din't touched the 2 loaves of bread, mayo,chilli and tomato sauce. We spent extra $20 buying bottled drinks!!!!! So EX! okay, I got to redo my whole bbq list so that next time I can estimate better. But anyway, I enjoyed myself alot, meeting and making new friends! Hope that they will come for unwind this Sat! Brothers and Sisters, please pray along with me for harvest. God bless! :)

Enjoying Life with YOU is all I ask for...

hi! I am back from interview and school. Its another experience for interview. haha. Shall talk abt my studies. Its so interesting!!!!!!! I just love organisation behaviour lecture. Its abt business psychology. Which i always wanted to study. I studied why ppl react in a certain manner and make certain decision. its a very realistic module. haha. I was very attentive in class. And in the future, My class will split into smaller grops so that the lecturer can interact with us better. So my time table also changes from every mon and wed to every wed and fri. The bad thing is it clashes with my worship rehearsal. OOps! Anyway, I believe God will give me a solution, so there is not need to worry. haha. I am gonna study hard and give God honor!!! for He deserve it!! Amen?

Sorry. I wanted to blog yesterday but I was too tired. haha. But I will try to blog on a daily basis. okay, I shall start with wat happen yesterday. I went for breakfast with Qiuling in the morning!! And we ate a VERY VERY VERY VERY nice gultinous rice. Very satisfying. And after that I have 2 Hrs to loiter before I go for my interview with Royal Sporting House. I slept in the bus all the way. Ha ha. I was there 45 minutes earlier so I fill up my particulars first and the receptionist said I filled up the wrong form and so I have to refill a 4 pages long form. But anyway I was kind enough to do so. Becos I wanted that job. When finally I went in for interview , I was so nervous but excited. To my amazement, the whole process only took 5 minutes. The interviewer was very reluctant in interviewing me. So I guess I got to say goodbye to the position. But I thank God for another experience in interview that I may do a better one in this afternoon interview! Haha.
cant afford to be jobless for any longer. Friends, Pls pray for me ya! thanks. I will be back tonight to tell u guys how was my interview and my lecture today, so stay tune!
