it's never enough isn't it?
Always never, never enough.
on, a lighter note,
i enjoyed work yesterday. love love love my funny colleagues and the funny things they say/do never fails to crack me up .
like, when dian asked if i have a boyfriend,
d: eh! you really don't have a bf?
me: nope
d: are you sure????????!!
(laughter)
me: yes, i'm verrry sure i dont have a bf.
d: maybe you forgot that you have one!
and the way kuixian complained about us wasting two hours of time after work was hilarious, Two whole hours sitting down at the counter, just thinking and contemplating of which catering service we want for our year end party, falling in love with the delicious menu, calling them numerous of times, and then in the end sticking to our own KKH kitchen catering service!
work always become fun when working with great people(:

Psalm 23.
The Lord is my shepherd, i shall not be in want
He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters
He restores my soul, He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake
Even though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death, i will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and i will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23-27 is truly beautiful. Actually, every knowledge, wisdom, truth that the whole bible has in all it's pages are beautiful. But this few Psalm struck me this time.
Psalm23 encapsulates all that we can be in God, all that we are given by God.
All His love for us described so splendid ansd great in only 6 verses.
Psalm 24 vs 1 & 2.
The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it. the world, and all who live in it;
For He founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.
Nothing escapes God. He created the universe. He created and is still creating.
Babies in mothers' wombs as i type, flowers blooming, plants sprouting from the earth, butterflies morphing from cocoons, children waking up and having grown a tad inch taller..
God is working in all these things.
Nothing is missed from His eyes
So why, why do we sometimes feel that He is not there, He does not care. If He cares for the smallest of all creation, the flowers, the birds, would He not care for the people he created, in His own image, created to love and be loved by God.
Would You not mean anything to Him.
You, yet but a blurred face, among the many billions and trillions breathing in the earth right now. And yet still, You who matters so much to God.
Would He not care for You?
Would nothing that You do catch His eye, His attention?
Everything that You do matters, everything that You do causes God's heart to move, for You.
Psalm 25 vs 1 & 2
To you, O Lord, I lift my soul; in you i trust, O my God
vs 14
The Lord confides in those who fear Him; He makes his covenant known to them
What is more delightful than knowing that we can hear God's whispers, His thoughts.
That the great I AM, the King and Creator of all the universe, wants to share His heart with us
Psalm 26 vs 8
I love the house where You live, O Lord, the place where Your glory dwells
I want nothing more dear Lord, than to be where You are
Psalm 27 vs 6
...... I will sing and make music to the Lord
"I just want to be where You are
Dwelling daily in Your presence
I don't want to worship from afar
Draw me near to where You are
I just want to be where You are
In Your dwelling place forever
Take me to the place where You are
Cause I just want to be with You
I just want to be where You are
Dwelling in Your presence
Feasting at Your table
Surrounded by Your glory
In Your presence that's where I always want to be
I just want to be, I just want to be with You
Oh my God, You are my strength and my song
And when I'm in Your presence, though I'm weak Your always strong
'Cause I just want to be
I just want to be with You"

hee. okay. i suppose it's time to update my blog. has been post-less for more than a month now. It's not that i have got nothing to say.. i do ALOT of thinking. It's just that i've got so many stuff to type about that i don't know where to start,or which to say first. That explains why i haven't been updating. Always leaving blogging for another day.
I'll start with IT'S BEEN SIX MONTHS SINCE I'VE STARTED WORK! (:
yipeee! God carried me tru it and He will continue carrying me on..
until my next phase of life.
I'll continue to pray about it. I've told my closer friends that i know nursing (in the hospital setting) is not something i'd be doing all my life.
I don't think i've got what it takes to stay in the "shift work - 5 to 6 days a week, doing the same thing until it's time to retire".
No.
I wanna do more. I wanna do more than this.
Sure the money is good. Hahaha. Really.
The government sure does treasure us nurses.
But, if.. if God does call me to some other place. Even if it means relying on God for my income. Then i am willing to go. I still hold on to the prayer and the vision Aunt Quee Eng saw when she prayed for me.
The theme song for the youth conference was "Here I am", the chorus goes,
"I will go where You send me,
Jesus take me now I am Yours
I am Yours
Lay my life on the altar
Everything i give to You alone
Here I am.
Here I am"
Jamie, the guy from Covenant Players whom we had the honor of being taught the basics of drama and mime, reminded me while he was talking to us, that being in the place that God has called you. Knowing that it is your calling. That is what spurs us on. The beauty of it. Even when times are tough. I am sure that our Jehovah Jireh will provide our needs, tangible and intangible.
What strikes me about the Covenant Players is their love for drama. Their determination to be God's vessels. Their zeal. Their desire for using what they like to do - you could say that it's a hobby, for God.
Their commitment. Their passion for life and for Jesus.
Lina has committed 16 years, and she's still spurring on (:
Jamie and Michelle are so young, 23 and 24 respectively and they have already made that BIG decision.. to say "here God, here's my life, use me". They go by faith.
Pastor Kel, our speaker for the conference. At 60 and still on fire for God's work.
I'm still smiling at his story of how he met the tribal people and God using him to share the good news. Those who went would agree that it's a good story, WOAH?????
Amazing.
What's more amazing is that. God has a special plan for each and everyone of us. And that if we obey, He will never fail us. Amazing, how He wants to use us. The God of the universe. What He wants to do, He can make it happen by a snap of His fingers.
And yet.
He chooses to use us.
Another reason for me to praise and thank God, is how timely my annual leave was planned. and scheduled. I didn't ask. Well, i did remind Sister L. that i haven't had my annual leave for this year yet. She asked if i had any week in mind. I told her I'm fine with anything she gives, and she gave me this week. Allowing me to come for the youth conference, every day, attending every minute of it ((:
Thank you Lord. I enjoyed the conference. Drama and Mime was a blast, hahaha..ooohh, we tried our hands on acting....learnt so much cool stuff and it widened my perspective of acting. We can use that skill of acting for God's glory! And acting becomes so powerful when it's anointed.
Raj and I are exchanging rooms now. so the whole house is in a mess!!
We're mostly done with painting my new room, just need to do some touch ups. Have not started on Raj and Janan's room yet. And i love love love my new bed. Single bed tho' but it's reallly nice.
One thing i'd miss about my old room would be the queen sixed bed.. awwwwwww. I won't be able to sleep and stretch and turn and roll.
But the up-side of getting Raj's room would be that i'd have cable tv!!!! (: H.B.O.!!!!!!
When looking tru the paint catalogue, i chose this nice shade of dark purple, Plum Satin is what it's called. The colour turned out pink. So the walls are now pink. The ceiling and some parts of the wall is a nice shade of beige, given by Uncle Ban Seng. Complements the pink walls well. The room is coming out nicely. (:
