Prayers has no limit

I was surfing on the web and this caught me. The words by others.

A father's love knows no bounds. As I watched this father get on his knees to pray for the youth, his son walked over and put his hands on his head as if he was going to pray for him. Cute moment.

PMC Soccer - Cage Soccer

"Welcome to the cage, play or die, dun ask why" Another soccer game with guys in the cage, fight till death. Just kidding! The temptation of the ball is so strong that even me with an injured ankle still go for it. in the end my ankle can't take it and i slipped and had some abrasion.

Another Year more mature

Just another year older, and i think i have to be more mature, i always think that mature does not comes in age, but rather in the experience you have. Life is like getting busier, and we are always so focus on achieving and getting the things we want, focusing in success. Just like a driver speeding his car, looking forward, focusing in getting to the destination faster than the others on the road, fear of hitting to any obstacle. Sometimes i find that i am focusing so much that i didn't look beside me that there is so many beautiful things outside i have been missing out. By the even things whizzing past me, there is still someone trying to catch me, and they did, they were my friends and family around me, just want to say to them a simple 2 words from my heart - "Thank U!"

Hard to change your thinking?

When you older you get, the harder you absorb? Just like when older people read self improvement books they will not be able to absorb or adopt that theory they read easier compare to those young teenagers or young adults. As day by day I am growing up, I feel, sense, think and reason this symptom I have. Here are a few points which I felt for myself.

-- :: Thinking :: --
It is one of the key factor, it has been fixed for adults, because they have understand and adopt a way of life which they have chose, in another words you can called it a culture. When they start reading self help book, it is just to enforce that way of life they have, they usually adsorb very little new ideas.

For teenagers and young adults, they still searching a way of life and the directions which they want to walk, so reading management books or self help books does help them, due to their willingness to seek help and open up.


-- :: Pride :: --
It is also one of the key factor, as people gets older and older, they tends to be more experience (in their ways), then we felt that we can lead and understand things (in our own ways) better than the younger ones. Due to the seniority on the age, we think that the young ones are nobody and their idea is wrong, we tend not to absorb their thinking. I am saying that the adults is not wrong, they know what is right and what is wrong better, because they don’t do it in impulse, and by the way they have gone through it in life and understand what is the consequences of doing it in this way. I am saying that that kind of pride can stop them from adsorbing new ideas and thinking.

-- :: Comfortable :: --
Imagine you have been having that kind of thinking and principle in life for 20 years. You think that you can change it just by reading a book, or just by someone saying something different which you think it might be correct and your way of life is wrong. It can just register into your mind for a while, but you will not internalize it because you are so comfortable in your way of life , you way of living and that is really difficult to change, unless you really determine to make it works and set a pattern to correct the current patterns of thinking you have.

-- :: Time :: --
Time can be a factor, seem as adult we got so many things to do and do you think we have time to change and internalize the things which we read? I guess not because changes takes time, it takes more time in your brain to resist the old ways you have, it takes time to try this method of doing things and the new response you get. Unless you are wiling to sacrifice your time else you will not change.



Ultimately what I want to achieve in this posting is to let adults know that in order to change or to restructure their life by reading self help books and trying to understand why they kept falling in the vicious cycle of the bad habits again and again. Here are just 4 little points to ponder and think of, and at the same time learn from the youth and understand why they can learn faster than us and yet we are older and have more information in our mind. Is because we are more structured in thinking and they are less structured, and therefore they are more willing to seek the best way to structure their way of life and thinking.

HandMade Cookies

Yum Yum Yum !!!! Managed to get the handmade cookies, when I opened the Tupperware, saw the ugly cookies they looked so distorted, deformed, uneven, different sizes, rough, not level. Okie!!! When I took the first bite, the texture is quite alright, hardness just nice, a bit too sweet, but the chocolate aroma filled my mouth, that was kind of great. Who cares the cookie is ugly or not, the taste is more important, because that it is supposes to be eaten and not to be admired. Guess what, I only managed to have a piece, because I forgot to close the cover of the Tupperware, and the next day when I wanted to recap that marvelous taste of the handmade cookies again, it was gone! Luckily my CCTV caught the culprit, who ate my cookies in the act.

-The Ugly cookies-

- YUM YUM! There is cookie here. -

- "There is nobody, i am going to. ... ..." -

- Munch!!!Munch!!!Much!!! -

- Rest for a while first !!! Hehehee!! -

Guess what I managed to catch the culprit, the cookie monster. So in order to show appreciation, I just present this gift to her. Heheehehe!!!

- Cookie monster got caught !!! -

A Good Run!!

Is normal for hong yee's body not to rest early in the night before an important events the next day. So yesterday night i was planning to rest early but in the end after tossing around i slept after midnight. It was 0630 and rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiinggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!!!! , a familar sound in the morning, but the unfamilar sound is the pitter platter of the rain pouring outside, a little part of me was "Damn it! why rain, i was training for it and paid for it, and where is my goodie bag?" but most part of me was "hooray!!! The run will be cancelled and i can continue my nice sleep, and i do not have to worry whether my body can take the 10km". So as most part of me says agree, and i continue my nice good sleep with that little part of me keeps me awake and trying very hard to drag me up. Until another familar sound came to their rescue,"are you really keen, Ai i captain!!! i can't hear you ai, i captain!!", yup! you got it, is my sprong bob ring tone. I took the call and it was bangshi, he says that the run is going to resume, and we will meet at the TP west gate bus stop. So i woke up and put on my running gear and a mug of hot milo to kick start the engine.

My Constant running buddy, bangshi.

When we reached there, there were 8000 people with us, it was really crowded, we trying to get the lucky draw tickets in and also our bags. I saw quite a number of people, some from ncs and some were my customer. We did a quick warm up and started to run, only me and bangshi thinking for going for our timing, the rest just want to accompany gf, or aiming at babes with nice running shorts.

We are the BB boys, plus teck hui(too slow to reach) ,

and

chan min (the one holding the camera).

The first 5km was ok, lots of people blocking our way, we have to weave our way to the front. Then my leg feet went numb, and i had to use the wiggling the toes technique to keep it in tact. After that we had our constant outside TP and when we reached back to the reservior again, we started to pick up our speed till the finish line.

--Me after the run--

"I feel good, dana dana dana da, i feeling so good now" that was how i felt when i finished the run. Then off to our goodie bags-yes! The queue was super long, we spent quite long waiting for our goodie bags and i personally felt that the organisers can do a better job in this area. After the run i had to rush back home, washed up and got down to church. As i gave my words yesterday night, i "die die" have to go down, because i have to live to eat the hand make cookies.

The Mizuno goodie bag

(A shoe bag and singlet)

--One of my customer--

is my leg going to take it?

It was 3pm same as every saturday program, is soccer time, but this time round i am going to play for 1 half and cut away the street soccer after that, because tommorrow i am in for the 10km mizuno run, so i have to preverse the energy, last sunday i tried running the 10km, but i failed to complete it, because my leg was too tight, and, my ankle was super tired, because last saturday i was playing for soccer with CMC, and it was really a hard one have to run alot and maybe lack of proper rest after that because i was rushing back home and prepare to attend rick's wedding. Then i was late while meeting my boss, who offered to pick me up at the raffles mrt station, and i had to run again from one location to another. In the wedding had a couple of red wine and went back quite late and morning have to wake up early for church plus the ym com meeting. Therefore causes the body exhausted.

kind of worry am i up for the 10km run, is just 10km and i cannot make it, sigh, weak already.So back to today, kick off, and we had a great match for the blue team on the first half, then half time, i stopped, and just watched them played the second half. Guess what! The ball was so tempting and i put on my boots again and off into the field again to play, i played the whole game, and at the end of the game, i know that dead, how am i going to finish tommorrow's run, i guess have to pump in lots of 100+, and stretch before i get a good rest. I just pray that i will complete the 10km and able to go to church.

GALA Dinner

GALA dinner, yeah! another way to celebrate this day with the church members and with the youth. As you can see that the church is trying every hard to raise the church building funds.
Kind of tired with this type of functions, i was rushing my way straight after something which i cannot remember now.

Overall is kind of impress by the number of meetings and coordination made, to make this event an success.

Gobal Day Of Prayer

The Gobal Day of Prayer is an event of churches coming together to pray. Is my first time to this event, it seem kind of fun, but at the same time it has a pinch of seriousness, because we are praying together as one, and when one and many coming together to focus on it, anything seem to be impossible will turn possible.

Another thing which motivates me is to see more BB officers coming today for the event, and for this 2 years i can see that also of people rise in leadership and also in spiritual aspect, is seem to be that we are growing together spiritually, the next step i would like to see is that this fire and growing will spread to the boys.

After the GDOP, i still have to carry the banner to lead the people to the bus, i just can't wonder why can't we direct the bus to a nearer place and it will be easier for our people to get in. Nevermind! In the bus was really fun, because i was constantly entertained. First the funny photo shot, i was having fun just like a little boy, and second i got this super funny jasmine to entertian me till the end of the trip. Overall the GDOP was great, and i also have a super great time with the youths.

Rrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnngggggggggggg!!!!! The sound of the alarm can't wake this pig up. I was dead beat because of saturday have to woke up early and standby at the data centre for the prudential BCP testing. After the whole BCP, it was 4 plus, and i have to rush home to prepare for soccer, luckily managed to have a few hours of street soccer. The body is still full of energy, so went over to finish the bottle of chivas with my the other 2 friends, and a super noisy girl, hahaha! Body is still alright, then followed with transformer at 2335, by that time i reached home on saturday was 3pm plus.

Suddenly the bio clock of mine rings and i woke up, looking at the lights prenetrating through the windows, i knew that there is no doubt i am late for the prayer meeting which is on 0730 in church. Still quite hack care, because i knew that there is no way i can turned the clock around, so just took my sweet own time to bath, styled my hair and chose the right clothes for today's super hot weather. So i wore a skinny black jeans and a green cat sleeves round-neck t-shirt

When i reached church, with my ipod in my ears, went to century and leave my bag there and just walked out, kind of attitude right! Because i was fanmish, so i went over to but a pack of 'nasi lemake'. Met this Ed, newbie in church, when i sat in down, and chat for a while, quite a nice guy from US, surprising he can take singapore food really well.

Today i youth service, kind of restless, can't really sit still, and lots of information and things flowing in my mind. Just think that i am listening too much information and is time to start doing something. After the whole youth service, help the poor ah lee to shift the chairs, but the youth really have a wonderful time to worship the Lord, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

After BB meeting, which at first didn't plan to go, went for a jog to prepare myself for the mizuno run. I was sweating so much due to the humid weather, but i felt good after the exercise. Now just looking forward for the run.

When I Look At The Rainbow

Lord when I look at the Rainbow you have placed in sky so blue,

it reminds me that all your promises are true

Your Rainbow reminds me that those who believe on you are few,

yet you have called us your little Ewe

Lord when I look at the Rainbow I see it's hue,

it reminds me that your love for us true

Your Rainbow in sky so blue,

reminds me to keep praying through

Lord when I look at the Rainbow it reminds me of your promise

to all of your creatures some of whom are of different features

Your Rainbow and it's many colors

reminds me that it represents some whom are called colored

Lord when I look at your Rainbow and see how it's colors are bright,

it reminds me to do what is right

Your Rainbow I have never seen at night,

this reminds me to stay in the light

Lord when I look at your Rainbow it reminds me of your grief

because of our unbelief

Your Rainbow have no pot of gold,

but your wonderful story of love it has told

Lord when I Look at your Rainbow it reminds that you promised to never again destroy the World with a flood

Your Rainbow to me is a sign of your love it represents your Son's life Blood

Good nite!!

Another poem....

Nite nite nite, what at lovely nite.
See your face with love delight.
May your dreams be fill with rays.
And blow all the troubles far away.
Sweet dreams my dear, sweet dreams my dear.
Just a soft soft whisper in your ear.
Saying, sleep tight and good nite.

"You're beautiful like a Rainbow"

Recently i saw someone's msn wrote this "You're beautiful like a Rainbow". So i called that person rainbow. It means You're beautiful. So there something just hit my mind and created this poem. It goes like that


When the winds are cold.
My moods are low.
Grey clouds covers the skies
My life can't see a light.
Then the sun shore.
And there is a beautiful Rainbow.
Bringing everything low.
Fill with HOPE.

Burying the pain

What is burying? Burying is when you have painful memories and you want to get it buried away, so that it will not surface up and haunt you again. When I was young it always makes me very difficult to handle the pain I have received, as through something piercing through my heart. Often takes a long time to heal. When you are older and older, you have experience most of the stuff, It can be a lost of good friends, relative, your favorite place, friendship or love ones, but you know that it is part and parcel of life, and life have to go on, so you can managed to hide those feelings away, and telling yourself to brace up, and forget those feelings you had. It is only when you have encountered that scenario again that makes you feel really hurt. I was burying that pain once again, and this time round it seems to me faster than what I had when I was young. I recap those days how did I overcome those pains and put it into used, and It works really fast, maybe that Is experience. Life have to carry on and even I had stumble, I started walking again, maybe that is call growing up.

Whole entire thing got entangled together

Now is time i got to know that myself and discover and realised that what i really want. I have come into a stage of lack of passion in doing lots of things and understand that sometimes am i serving the God i loved or don;t let down those person around me, or just because of me wanting so much.

It has been a lot time seem i think through this question, and now when i started to have a job and work and the more i work the more i realised that my life is not that happy afterall. Preharps because lack of support , listen ear or maybe because i have been walking these roads with full of shackles.

I wanted to start everything new and afresh, and now i am slowly dropping the shackles on my feet, wishing that those person around me might understand it. Maybe i do not need to seek their understanding now, just hope that one day they would accept it.

Maybe because of work and tangles up everything, i could no longer focus on so many things at one times anymore and everyone seem to be wanting my attention. I have been giving out attention and who is giving me attention?

Life to me now is good, but is just that i realise myself and tuning it , so that i can be support for the others too. Now sunday feels like an working day to me, is quite difficult to intake the word of God, maybe you can call noise = which is lack of peace in heart i guess.

Love - Bible

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in eveil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trust, always hopes , always perseveres.

O-----------V--------------E--------------R--------------S--------------T--------------R--------------E--------------T--------------C--------------H

This is the first post for the 2007, i didn't realise that this is 2007, because i did my count down in Tanglin mall, guess what is neither in the Pub, or club, or with friends chatting around and having fun. I was at the MDF room, which consist of the whole building telephone temination. You must be wonder i was there, because i am working and helping singtel to troubleshoot the problem. 2007 is a super pack year, now is feb and my work has not decrease a single bit, instead my load has been increasing. I am happy because i know my worth in the work, i am sad because i am so pressured with work, thinking how to troubleshoot and get ahead of the schedule. Sigh!!! what a year to be, i do not even have time for my own.

I am stress, super stress, i have not been in that position before, and i know what is stress to me now, because i can feel it in every part of my body, my body is getting cramp, my nerve is getting tighten up, the adeline seen to be kept on rushing to my brain, i fear that i could not meet the customer expectation, because i am overstretch , over tax. When i sleep there is "noise " in my head, i kept thinking what am i going to acheive tomorrow, what is the next steps i am going to take, and i get the headache the next day, due to the lack of sleep. People are leaving the company , and sometimes i ask myself why am i still in this state, am i nuts? or wanting to test my limits and learning where i am.

Although now i am in the position of leading, and develop the leadership which i love, but having this challenge and learning which i get i have to trade with my time, my body and my soul. i kind of left out a lot of people, and the things i want to do in my life, i was thinking worth it or not?

Sigh!! hope that my upcoming days can be a smooth sailing one, so that i can finished it easily and less stressful.
