I still remember 2 years ago, no one remembers my birthday or celebrated with me except for my brother. And I still remember that is when the Lord spoke to me and said that if I trust on Man and put expectations on them, they shall surely fail me. Trust in the Lord and He shall NEVER fail you. And from then onwards, I told the Lord that if no one remembers my birthday, its ok because He created me on this date and as long as He remembers, it is all that matters. And I began to put expectations on the Lord. And true enough, he never fails.
My dearest friends, Melissa and Vanessa, Susan( not able to make it in the end) celebrated with me my birthday during the weekday.
Two days before my actual birthday, Robin and gang celebrated with me my birthday at Ebisboshi. I didn't expect them to remember my birthday since it has been a while since we last met up. I thought it was one the gathering.
All along, I expect God to do things for me. It can be little things but yet meaningful to me. For example, by allowing me a slot to do presentation for the 1 Day Financial Empowerment Workshop means a lot to me since I was always passionate about public speaking. It was an interesting experience for me. Later that night, some of our caregroup members and me went to watch movie together. I didn't expect them to celebrate for me since I believed they must have done so on Friday caregroup. After the Alice and wonderland show, we went to chill out as usual. And they actually give me a little surprise.
The actual day itself, I received ang baos from my uncle and auntie, beautiful card from Edwin and Eugene. Moreover, I thought the church service was exceptional good! The whole Israel episode trip and sermon seems to speaking to me throughout the whole session. I choose to spend time with my beloved brother for a yummy dinner. When I reached home, my family bought a cake for me as well. I believe this year is the first time I ate so many cakes.
And not to forget all the people who wished me well wishes over Facebook, sms and calls especially from Brennon all the way from Korea and Eric whom I have not catch up for a while.
All these people are sent by the Lord to bless me and I shall receive all the blessings that they speak forth over me and may it all come true! Amen.

Visit to the doctor
Unfortunately, I was scalded by real hot boiling water. At first I thought its just a scald and will recover after a while. As my sis was using the toilet, I didn't bother to put my scald under running water. It didn't cross my mind to use ice, thinking that it's not that serious. Little did I expect that a huge scar was formed the very next day.
I tried applying olive oil to lessen the intense pain as well as lighten the scar. It works actually. The pain subsides readily after I applied. However, my brother got really worried due to the wound. Therefore, I was persuaded to visit a doctor. But he was really concerned for me that made me really touched although he nagged for quite a while.
Of all people that knew about it, he was the only one who truly cared. He accompanied me to the skin specialist at 8-11 clinic & surgical at Yishun Central which is renowned for the effectiveness. Alas! The bill cost a bomb! $123! I am so going to claim from my personal accident insurance! The doctor said that it was a first degree burn and just a portion maybe a second degree burn. Scarring might or not might happen.
Frankly speaking, the cream seems to really work to my surprise. I always thought that doctors are out to cheat our money by giving us cream that doesn't work anyway. However when I applied that cream, immediately, the colour changed to a darker colour and the 2nd degree burn that has accumulated the dead skin fall off. The skin seems to regenerate and repair though still a bit exposed. Antibiotics is also given. I am very kiasu about making sure I finish the dosage since I heard scary consequences of not doing so. Vitamins are also given.
I believe God's healing also works together with the cream!
This is the first time I ever gone to a cinema meant for Tamils. Since Brennan highly recommend and treat the show, I together with another 2 colleagues went for the show.
The show is only screened at REX which is a cinema meant for the Tamils. All the shows are in Tamil. I wasn't too convinced about how nice the show but the way he bragged about it, I thought no harm giving it a shot. Indeed, this was one of the best shows ever!
The story begins with two best friends together with a challenger to find Rancho, their best friend. The challenger wanted to prove that he is more successful after many years compared to Rancho. In addition, the challenger is supposed to have a deal with one of the most renowned scientist, Sandra Wangdu due to his invention after challenging and finding Rancho.
Upon flashback, Rancho was an extraordinary student in university known for his passion for learning and engineering. He has the guts and courage not found in an ordinary student. I was deeply moved and motivated by his desire to learn and apply knowledge learnt to situations. One interesting scene was when the professor presented the students about this fountain pen invented after spending millions of dollars to be used by astronauts in space. As ordinary pen could not be used due to the absence of gravity, the pen was created.
Rancho raised a question that shocked the professor:"If pen could not be used in space, why not use a pencil, then we can save millions?" Interesting question huh?
The story continues with him encouraging his two friends that if one will to "Pursue excellence, success will chase after him or her" Sounds like when you seek and pursue Jesus, success will hunt you down. Throughout the show, he challenged the norm and seek for better teaching methods by showing the professor how ineffective as a professor he is.
He invented on an machine that was created by another student and caused it to be able to fly.
Most amazingly, he managed to deliver a baby in a table tennis room. Due to the pregnancy difficulty, he have to use a vacuum suction equipment to suck out the baby. However, due to the power failure, he managed to create the equipment through use of car batteries, vacuum cleaner and rubber pads in the midst of the chaos. Awesome feat!!!!
The best part of the story was the twist when Rancho is not his real name. He actually studied and obtain the degree on behalf of someone who is rich and famous. After obtaining the certificate, he left the country. After much search by his friends, finally he was found in a village being a teacher. Many of the items were invented using simple machines to make chores more simple.
The friends finally brought his girlfriend and find him. Just as the challenger was mocking him due to his incompetency in being just a village teacher, Rancho revealed his real name Sandra Wangdu, the famous scientist that the challenger is looking for! Awesome movie! The best I ever saw, one that made me cry and laugh then cry and then laugh.

Purpose in my career
It has been a long long time since I last blog. Well, partly cause I am always at work when I am at the computer. Just recently, I felt a greater purpose in my career. I knew I am called by God to be in the insurance industry. But recently, I really have a new found revelation in my role. Being with Prudential, I am not competing with AIA, GE or any other companies. I am actually in competition with enemies like death, dread diseases like cancer etc. Its a race between them and me, either I get to the friends/ individual first or them. The moment once I am first, they are well protected with the free of worry for the huge hospitalization bills and the sorrows that comes along with it which only money can solve.
Recently have been hearing news from friends that either their friends or loved ones got strike with critical illness like lung cancer and brain cancer. It just pains my heart to know that one is not protected and yet relieved to know that one is protected.
On top of that, money can actually be maximized and work for us rather than us just blindly working for money and keeping in the bank.
Nevertheless, I yearn for more of God's wisdom and His favour to guide me through my career.
So sorry that I never update blog for so long. Really do not have the mood to blog recently due to busy schedule. Well, therefore I shall blog on some events that I have been for those who wonder where I disappeared to.
I totally enjoy the countdown to 2010 cause I had lots of fun with the games and the people. The food is also fantastic. I heard that Desmond spent $800 just on the catering! Indeed it was delicious. Even have clayfish...
Ah ya.. maybe let some of the pics show what is happening...
I am so glad that my God spoke to me during the camp.
He is such a faithful God.
I had many expectations before I go this camp. I was burdened with the cares of this world, about the many things that a person would be troubled about, career, relationships, health etc.
I am facing myself not liking to work, ankle being injured and feeling tired.
I know it is spiritual warfare somehow and I really believe the Lord shall provide.
True enough, he provides. During the whole camp, the services really speaks to me. I have been sleeping for the longest time during service on Sunday. I will sleep till like no one's business and could not wake up even when my friend nudge me. I will listen half of the service, and sleep the other half, sometimes it got so bad that I slept throughout. It is not that I am tired, but somehow I just felt so sleepy.
Amazingly, during the camp, I did not sleep during service but was of full attention. I really received a lot, more than I thought I would.
God is good, he knows my heart and my fears.
What was most precious was my experience with the Holy spirit. I was prayed for twice by other leaders but I felt I did not receive despite the leaders mutter some prayers over me. Then when Pastor Benjamin called for people who are doing business to come up, I went ahead. I was hoping that he would pray some prophetic words over me but instead, he just tap on my forehead with anointing oil and go. To my amazement, I was slained. I fell to the ground and my body shook uncontrollably and my face felt so hot and I just cried uncontrollably. Soon, I felt the Lord spoke to me this words so clearly," I have called you for a purpose such as this" and my heart felt a burden lifted off. Anyway, the prayer I asked God was whether it is his will that I am in the financial line. And it was a confirmation.
I was healed from my ankle pain
And throughout the camp, I knew that I shall certainly have double restoration in my life, in terms of finance, health, relationships and many many more!
God has been faithful and good to me. I am amazed that I kinda of enjoy serving as usher. Partly cause my location is quite easy to manage. I see things in a different point of view and felt that I am in for an awesome time of receiving.
Though I was really not feeling well whereby I keep sneezing and feeling tired, I still enjoyed serving. During the second service, I sit in and listened and was amazed how God spoke to me regarding eczema and career.
Truly God is faithul. He has something great for me.
