Making A Difference

Latest addiction xP

I feel so old…

“Selamat pagi, kak. Akak nak gi mana? Mari saya tahankan pintu lif.”, was the help offered by a young boy who was the cleaner at my ofis. Hmm… looks like I have to come to terms with the fact that it’s no longer I who calls people aunty, uncle, kak or abang, haha. It is the other way around now. Haih. I feel so old xP but of course, in the office itself, I still am the 2nd youngest, and get to call other older women “kak.” Kekeke

But I guess advancing in age isn’t at all a bad thing. As we grow older, we get to face different stages of life, encounter different experiences, meeting different people from all walks of life. This year’s birthday was a simple yet very meaningful one to me as it was somewhat different from the previous years I got to spend this year with a “special addition”, hehe　(I requested that he join us for dinner ;p). But of course, other than spending time with loved ones and friends, it is about His love, mercy & grace that He has shown unconditionally.

It is about living life for His glory. It is about decisions in life that I make based on His guidance and love. It is fast approaching 2 yrs that I make a spiritual transition, and with God’s help, I want to maintain that =D friends come and go along the way. All I am glad is that some were there for a SEASON, others for a REASON, and the rest for a LIFETIME. Thanx especially to my family: my parents for their many years of love and care, and my siblings for all the support, encouragements and not forgetting the help that you all have endlessly given.

Thanx also to my cg members, especially my beloved CG leader Connor, who have always been there for me, whether to cheer me up or to lend a helping hand. It will never go unnoticed. Thanx for loving and accepting me for who I am =) also to 2 of them who have left the cell to be with their other half in spiritual support, and they are none other than Nichole Lim and Evie. Keep on being a contagious Christian no matter where you are, ok?

Last but not least, to the whole group at Mines ICT: 认识你们是我最大的福分。。 谢谢你们那么热心的接受我成为你们的一分子。。 要特别谢谢那位曾经借电动轮椅给我的冠廷。。 还有借房间给我的琳荔。。如果没有房间， 我就不可能去那边玩了。。 如果没有轮椅我就是失去了自由， 哈哈。。

Of course, this is specially dedicated to the latest addition :”> Thanx, dear… 谢谢你不断的鼓励和支持我。。谢谢你让我看见生活上的美满。。It’s just the beginning of a new year :p

Great singers, great talent…

I don’t think it’s coincidence that I bumped into 2 of our very own talented people from DUMC. I stumbled upon a video with the song All To Jesus I Surrender by our dear Patrick Leong (with Jacklyn Victor). Unintentionally, Juwita Suwito’s Breathe Again You Tube came on when I was browsing for a cartoon animation. She’s got great voice, really the tune was so soothing I cant help but googled for the lyrics immediately, haha.

Besides I won’t say much. All I can say is I, personally, am very proud to have such talented people in my church. God bless them, haha. Well, enjoy. At least I enjoyed hearing them sing

Significant!! So significant!! And at the right time some more, haha

Forgive & Forget??

As easy as it may sound, can you do both? You can forgive, but can you really forget?

In the first place, why forgive? Because something not right happened. Why forget? Because we don’t want that very thing to weigh us down. Because we should be looking ahead, not backwards and dwell in the past. Because the Bible tells us so. Because God tells us so.

But the question is, can we forgive? Yes, we can forgive. Now, honestly. Can we forget? Ahah!! Some may find it hard to answer this second part of the question. I have to admit, I can forgive, but I find it very hard to forget. Not once, not twice. But many times. These past few days, the message of FORGIVENESS – FORGIVE & FORGET keeps on repeating itself, and I guess it was no coincidence that I stumbled upon a few histories. The hurts have healed, but the scars remain forever. I may have forgiven, but I can’t bring myself to delete all that has happened. I may have forgiven, but no matter how hard I try to forget, the scars has already been imprinted so how else can it be removed without creating further damage?

As I look through my archives and chats history, past unpleasant incidences flooded my memory bank. How I was hurt by friends I thought was genuine, how I was betrayed by friends I thought I could trust. How I was stabbed in the back by friends who buttered their words till I fall prey to their schemes. I grew up and was given spiritual guidance in a local church. Therefore I knew what the Bible says about forgiveness. But really, forgiving and forgetting is a totally different story altogether. Likewise for a wound and a scar. In life, something that has been done cannot be undone. Life is not like a computer where you can edit an error, and replace that which was wrong. Neither is life like a computer where you can hit the delete button, and poof!, it is deleted. Only by his grace, heh.

Forgive, & forget? Friends… friends…

And there I long to stay
Mercy falls
Cleansing my life in Your blood
Whiter than the snow
