Sorry if I missed talking to you...
I realise that I have less and less time for people in Church. Reason being I so wanted to catch up with Grace but I just can't find the time.
Got a number of things to attend to. And I am not only talking about Grace but also the rest of the DG members.
It's not something that I am boasting but I just realise that as we grow older, we will surely have many more responsibilities and task to attend to.
Hope that I can catch up with them in the coming weeks...

What did the 9 plagues teach me...
Many many lessons learnt from Exodus, one main take home I have from today's sermon is that we should never bargain with God.
Bargaining is a way of telling God I dun fully again with your terms and still want a part of my way in the things I do.
Dun take things for granted, do what He says. Dun bargain.

New sets of tyres
I accidentally punctured my tyres this afternoon. But whatever it is I see it as God's way of telling me to drive up to Church Camp on a new sets of tyres.
Yes, I am going. Praise the Lord!!!

Did you miss out on Amos??
Can't believe how fast babies grow up. So before you know it, Amos will be able to speak. Don't miss out on him man.

Move house in 5 years time, most likely....
Had discussed with Evelyn regarding us taking care of our parents when they are older and just last night, my father sounded out that he will retire in 5 years time.
Thank God that both of us had talked about it and have sort of plan about it liao.
As time goes by, I realise that my life is really not about myself but the people around me. My wife, my son, my parents, my parents-in-law and my DG.
So for those that are reading, I think it's good that you also give a thought on how you should plan the rest of your days, especially on issue like taking care of your parents. Think it's very easy for us to get married or remain single then go on to live our prefered lives, usually without much thought about our parents.
We should seriously think about. Live not only for ourselves but for others. Others before self, just like someone around 2 thousand years ago....

What I do from 8PM to 12AM
This will be the timing that I will be at home most of the night. What will I usually do:
1. On laptop, play FM 08, check email and surf net
2. Watch football or sports news
Reason I am writing this down was I thought thru this morning of what Eve said yesterday of me should spend more time with Amos, which I hate to admit I should improve. It's very easy for me to do my own things in the night especially when Amos tend to stick with Evelyn, which I have all the more reason not to tend to him.
Sometime we ask why things dun seems to be right when the very reason is because of ourselves. How can I expect Amos to grow up to be a God fearing person when the father dun teach or model properly that all he do when he goes home like he can switch to the "worldly mode" and do the things himself wan to do.
When we got home "okay Amos. play by urself" then hopefully he will go to sleep soon, if not my wife sure can handle wan. I am sure some of you might find it a surprise that I am like that or maybe some of u might sing the same tune as me.
I am not gonna hide it but to be frank, I can easily just carry on like this and dun give a 2nd thought but I think I ought to do something. Pray that with God's help I will be able to change. Think the best person to see if this will come true will be my dear wife.
Pray that I can lead my family in the way that pleases God for it's always easy to go out to serve others when we can easily overlook the very close ones around us. And I also pray for all you guys out there who finds it hard to do so too.

The one and only Muppet Show
Been looking for ages and finally I found it, CD of the Muppet show!!
I bought the Muppet Show DVD almost 2 years back and I been wondering whether will I ever get the CD featuring some of the songs (Mahna Mahna, Rainbow Connection) since it's almost 20 years since the show ended.
Now my next search, "I don't wanna live on the moon" by Ernie. Anyone know where can I get it?

David Tao's songs, I can sing.
Was driving to work this Morning and the radio was playing Jo-Lyn's wedding song (she will know wat is it). And then I play the CD and listen to my wedding song, also from David Tao.
His songs are quite singable and how I missed KTV, thou I dun really need it nowadays. KTV used to be like an addiction but now no longer liao.
Actually tried to organise 2 KTV sessions, one in March and one this coming weekend, but have to call it off due to the Men's and Family Fellowship. Prayerfully see if can have one in May.
When's the last time I went for KTV?? Is it before Amos??

Big thoughts, small talk

Amos, the fearless boy.
Amos lost his footing last night and his right side of the face, near his right eye, hit the table. Thank God his eyes are fine.
The funny thing is that he still has no fear at this age, still going to the table and still and smile at me after briefly crying for a short while. And when Evelyn uses the ice pack thingy to ease the pain or wat, he's not bother by the pain (or it seems to me he didn't feel any) and he just kept linking the ice pack and watching the TV at the same time.

The best week of our lives!!!!
In case you didn't realise, this week is the week of all weeks. Why? Because of what Christ has done for us 2,000 years ago. He died for our sins and raise up into heaven. Praise the Lord.
Was reading Hebrews 13 yesterday and I am still deeply touched and encouraged by it. Verse 8 says "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.".
Thank you God for giving us your son. Pray that we will continue to trust in you in every situation for you are the same, always. May we be faithful in your eyes all the days of our lives till we see you face to face.

I felt like a director
I feel like I am a director, mapping out in my mind the many things that I should had done and that I should be doing. Flash back after flash back of the past, vision after vision of the future.
With the event that happened last week prompts me to think harder how I should live my life. It's always when something that matters to us turns out in a way that we never excepts it to be then we will sit back to reconsider and reflect.
Pray that I will continue to trust in God and take every step for Him.

Earn your feed, not chase it.
Was texting cake today and she shared about how her colleague died working his whole life. We talked about it and I just wanna write this down to remind myself in-case in the future I go the wrong way (cake, remind me hor if I go the wrong way).
How funny it is for us as human that we can spend our whole life chasing things that when comes to the end you realise that you are not in control of anything at all. When it's time to go, you go.
Cake pointed out that sometimes we can't help but chased temporal things cos we need to survive now. True isn't it, we still need to eat at the end of the day.
That's why one must always remember that we are to earn for our daily feeding and not chase after pleasures of the world. It's very easy for us to start with good intentions and ended up being tempted & head the wrong direction.
It's a very thin line. So God, please help us....
