Express World!

Express, express... that's the world today! Express bus, Instance photo, Super fast response via internet, etc. No more waiting! Lately I was been stressful with the deadline of my work. Everything has to be completed on the day itself! It really affected me!

End of the day of work and I was alighting from a bus to change for another. I felt so disappointed when I saw my next bus was in front of my current bus. "Alas!, hah? I got to wait?" I whispered to myself and I sighed aloud. After getting down from the bus, I saw another bus which was also heading to the same direction, was right behind my current bus. For the moment, I felt with joy because this bus took shorter route to reach my destination. *Be patient*

Then I went to supermarket, at the counter, I was waiting for the cashier scanning the my stuff I was buying. Just about to pay the cashier money, she turned her back and she was busy with packing something else. I grumbled to myself "Alas!, how come the casher auntie was so slow? Couldn’t she pack her stuff later?" Soon she turned and put a lunch box into my stuff plastic bag. I was hesitated and asked "Is this free?" She responded "Yes, this is a free gift from the bread you bought". My face turned pink and answered "Oh! thank you." *Be patient*

Ops! What has happened to me? Why was I so impatient? My dear patient, where were you hiding to? It's really worth waiting sometimes. Let’s take thing patiently, the good thing may come last.

This song calm me alot.
"Let's take time to wait upon the Lord.
Let's take time to listen to His voice.
Unless the Lord builds the house, the labour in vain.
Let's take time to wait upon the Lord"

Study Time!

Study, study & study again... *sigh* it might be another boring day I guessed.

I was looking for a quiet place to study... Library was full of kids in this holiday season. MacDonal was as crowded as usual on weekends. Where could I park myself for 4 hours? As I prayed and walked towards the newly open Community Club nearby, I spotted two tables & chairs facing the road but I still looked around for another better choice. Everywhere was occupied so I went back to my first choice, the two tables & chairs.

When the wind breezed and chilled the place, I felt pleased. While I was studying, the familiar faces were caught my attention. I could not believe my eyes, I saw some popular business men & women with a minister of environment & water resources. Yes! Those people who I have seen on the TV news. They were having a talk in the conference room next to where I sat.

Three and a half hours were gone like a wind then the cleaners asked me if they could keep the tables & chairs including the one I was using. Later I realised that the tables & chairs were set up because there was a talk and those VIP were invited. Wow! I felt that the tables and chairs were reserved for me! How blessed I was!

As I walked home, I picked up some brochures from the community club as some of activities were interesting to me.

Study, study & study, I was fully charged with the knowledge! The knowledge of my own study, the knowledge of the Community club & the most of all the knowledge of God's blessings to me. What a wonderful day indeed!

Freely Give Freely Receive

It was raining heavily when I came out from MRT station and heading home. I spotted a young lady was looking up the dark sky as hoping the rain would stop. I looked at my small umbrella then I decided to offer her to join me to cross the road. With the gorgeous smile on her face, she said to me shyly "I have my umbrella. I’m just waiting for the rain getting smaller as I don't want to get drenched. Thank you".

Remember the song "Freely, freely you have received, freely give"? It continues… "Freely give, freely receive". I received more than I offered. Her shining smile and thank you words brightened the dark and heavy rainy evening! Have a blessed day!

Simply Trust

In India, it is common for parents to find wife/husband for their children. However I was amazed when I learnt that my male Indian colleague saw his wife to be after both parents' consent. During that time, he heard the voice of his-wife-to for the first time. Thereafter he could speak personally with his-wife-to be via phone. It sounded ridiculous to be true. How a man could trust his parents so much on getting him a wife!

I asked myself if I could I trust a person so much. Sadly I can't even trust God sometimes. God who created heaven & earth. God knows me inside out. I felt guilty and asked God for forgiveness.

This verse encouraged me. Deuteronomy 31:8 says “The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

Finally I can say “in God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me?” [Psalm 56:11]

A letter to God

Dear Father God,
Thank you so much for your protection & blessings throughout past years. I have tasted a lot (sour-sweet-bitter-spicy). I have also learnt a lot of joyful, meaningful, & beautiful days. Thanks for many experiences I encountered in my life although they were not always as sweet as honey in the comb.

Today is a new beginning of a year as a new chapter of my life. Let me focus on your will and may I not be distracted into temptation and useless things. I am looking forward to learn new things as I know it is not going to easy but I know you were always besides me when I called.

Thanks you and I love you forever. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amin!

Your beloved child.


Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. (Phil 3:13-15)
