Jesus, my light ... the light for the world.

Can’t help but feel that life is really short and it is very unpredictable.

Live it to the fullest.

Do not be angry with your love ones.
Be patient
Be forgiving
Be understanding

Just like the hymn that was sung yesterday, it is true that many are walking in darkness, many are lost and many despair.

But fear not coz Christ is the LIGHT. He gives us comfort and He gives us peace. He is the Lamb sent by Father to take away our sins, burdens and worries.

I am happy that I know Him and I pray that more will be drawn to His light.

At the funeral yesterday, my mum was talking to her cousins.

News about me attending a church reached them. They were curious about which group I belong to. (My mum herself is not sure herself). The aunties said that being a Catholic is better as they are less strict (hmm, this is food for thought for ourselves ... ). Anyway, God had provided the chance for my mum to understand my faith by using my aunties to get her curious and since she asked, I was able to share the goodness of my Lord with her. I am sure that this is just the beginning and she will understand. (My aunties had daughters studying @ St. Nic and they themselves were previously from St. Nic)

It is strange how God works things out for me. Thank you Lord.

Something Unexpected

Sunday, November 27, 2005
Supposed to be a busy weekend attending bridal show, checking out hotels and attending a colleague's daughter's wedding. However, on Friday afternoon, I received news that my grand-auntie had passed away due to kidney failure.

I lost the mood to work and even the mood to even visit the hotels we were supposed to check out. (Coincidentally, the original appointment that I had planned to go for had to be cancelled coz the girl is down with gum infection.) Though we had a backup, my dear got to work late due to some ad hoc assignments and I went to the wrong hotel.

Maybe it is a way of telling me that I should go and pay her my last respect. This great aunty is the sister of my grandma. She is one of my favourites as she used to baby-sit me and my aunties (her daughters) and grand uncle doted on me. I cannot remember the specifics but somehow, deep in my heart, I know that they are people who love me.

I still remember going to Yohan with them at Plaza Sing, sitting there watching the art lesson (one particular lesson that I still remember is using stockings to make beautiful flowers), time spent at Yamaha and the food court (not really a food court at that time) on level 7 or the MacDonald’s (at level 1), time spent at the toys section at the basement and there is a playground for us kids with lots of rides etc plus a special Christmas movie I watched with one of her daughters.

One of her daughters had influenced me to take up electone just because I heard her play "Jingle Bells" on the electone and I told my mum I want to learn when I was 5.

My great uncle also doted on me. There is this familiar tobacco smell that I still remember. I still remember my mum telling me that my grand auntie got a scolding from my granduncle when the mischievous me went to play with the stationery bike and had hurt my foot badly (there were lots of blood). Though the scar is not there anymore, the memories remain.

However, over these many years, and with each of us having our own busy schedules, we had grown apart. They had seemed want to keep a distance from us and we did not make enough effort to keep in touch with them, thinking that since this is the way the family wants to be, we shall leave it as it is.

I had wanted to see her again, after so many years at my wedding. I did not expect that all of us would come together at her funeral.

From what I understand, my aunties are not healthy – one has diabetes and another has kidney problems. My grand uncle is still working and my uncle is also helping out. They had aged a lot. My heart pains but what can I do? I can only pray that they will find strength in Jesus (they are Buddhist I think).

I will be going tomorrow to send my grand auntie on her final journey. I pray that even at the very last minute, she will find God and will be relieved of her pain on earth forever. I suppose we will never know as this is between her and God.

Dear Heavenly Father, please look after this family, that they will find strength in You. Let them give up their burden and their worries unto You. I sensed that my uncle is tired. Father, please send the Holy Spirit to refresh him, and to refresh the entire family. Father, please guide them along. I commit this family to You through Jesus Christ, Amen.

Soli Deo Gloria

Saturday, November 26, 2005
Soli Deo Gloria …. Soli Deo Gloria …. This hymn continued to ring in my head from last night till this morning.

I searched the net, hoping to find the lyrics of this beautiful hymn (the trumpets, musical arrangement and even the quietness towards the end part of the hymn is so very nice …..).

Instead of finding the lyrics, I came upon this beautiful blog.

Reading her blog, one can feel the beauty of Christ and the beautiful things He has given and is still giving to her beautiful family.

Erm, I hope you dun mind me sharing about your blog here. I just feel that I need to spread this to all my friends.

There is this particular post that I like – being in contentment.

Many a times, we complain – we complain about

1. Weather - “why do we need to get off bed and come to work when it is a good day to sleep in?”
2. Salary - my cost per minute is decreasing by the fact of the number of overtime I got to put in ....
3. Job - why am I still stuck in this lousy job ... when will I be promoted?
4. the house we live in - not designer stuff, no garden, no swimming pool etc


the list can go on.


Why not look at it from a brighter side? We should be thankful

Thankful that

1. Jesus loves me …
2. I have a loving family (ya, though we would quarrel =P)
3. A boyfriend who loves me for just who I am (err … I hope I am not wrong here *ha-ha*), despite me being blur, forgetful, petty and untidy
4. I am alive, well and kicking!
5. I have a stable job, a supporting boss and colleagues
6. I am surrounded with lots of bros & sis-in-Christ
7. I have enough to spend.
8. I can read, write, eat, sleep and play
9. I am living in Singapore - clean, safe etc

The list goes on….

Let’s take a step back from all our rush-rush today and start counting our blessings. =)

Thank you Jesus for always looking after me, bringing me back to you when I have strayed or I am going to stray. Thank you for all the blessings and the graces that you have showered upon me. Thank you for dying on the Cross for us so that we can be redeemed from Death/Sin. Thank you ….. Thank you ….. Soli Deo Gloria ….Soli De-o Glo-Ri-A ......

Oh when the saints, go marching in ... Oh when the saints go Marching in ....

Wednesday, November 23, 2005
this morning, I received SMS from Jean and an email from Francis telling me that today is St. Cecilia's day. (*Yea! I am Cecilia*) hahaha

To find out more about her, please click here.

Some may find that Catholics pray to the Saints but NO ...
These Catholics saints are actually human people who lived extraordinary lives - responding to God's calling and doing things beyond what a normal human being would do (sometimes even being labeled as insane - like what St. Francis of Assisi went through when he went round re-building churches). Each saint the Church honors responded to God's invitation to use his or her unique gifts.
God calls each one of us to be a saint. One of the techniques that I had learnt in the "7 habits of highly effectively people" which can be applied in this context is - we can learn to be a saint in our daily life - by influencing, not the entire world, but to people within my circle of influence.

Making a mountain out of a molehill *tsk tsk tsk*

A colleague was kicking up a big fuss this morning just because she did not receive a post-it pad from our marketing guy. (it was supposed to be hushed hushed but some blur colleague just left it lying on the table for her to pick up)

The post-it pad is a corporate gifts for "customers" only. But as I understand, sometimes, out of goodwill or when they are spares, we, the internal staff will be given one.

I suppose the reason for her kicking up a big fuss is that not all the people in the department has it (but from what I gathered, almost all of us had gotten one).

Anyway, no one wanted to "join forces" with her when she went round asking who wants the post-it pad and the hoo-ha just died a natural death.

Haiz. Just some papers and a big fuss was kicked up. I wonder if she will be kicking up a big fuss if she is the only one receiving the post-it pad. Would she fight for our rights if we did not have the pads.

The Lord is my Shepherd, there is nothing I shall want ...(Psalm 23)

Monday, November 21, 2005
Psalm 23 is one of my favourite psalms. It gives me strength and always leads me back to Jesus... I feel comforted whenever this psalm is sung during Mass or reading it on my own. =)

Today is the day that I took my faith a step further - from an inquirer to a Catechumen ... I am still not used to be called by my new status. Ha-ha. I cannot believe that I am this far into my faith. Actually all this are possible through God. =)

We were not briefed about what or how we are supposed to react during today Mass. We just followed the instructions from Father and the faciliators. We were supposed to walk down the aisle in group of four. When I was walking down, I felt like I was getting married - yes, getting married to the Church, to the community and lastly getting married to Jesus! Like what my fellow bro & sis-in Christ shared, this simple rite is like a dedication to each of us. We were all special in our own way and we are all here for a purpose. Us coming to St. Anthony, Us joining RCIA, and us taking part in the Rite of Acceptance. All these did not happen by chance. It is God's way of guiding us to walk together with Him. It feels so nice/wonderful and I feel so blessed that I receive His Calling. *Thank you Father*

Signs of the Cross were made on each of us by Father T. (on our foreheads) and on our eyes, ears, lips, left chest, shoulders, hands and feet. The feeling is so wonderful. I wanted to cry – tears of happiness. When Father T made the sign of the Cross of my forehead, it felt so warm and fuzzy. It is like God welcoming me home and when the facilitator made the signs of the cross on my ears etc, I felt that I have moved on to a more serious stage in my journey of Faith. It is like I am taking up His Cross on my shoulder, letting Him be the master of my life (His yoke), that I should learn to see things from His point of view, my words should be to spread the Good News, my ears to listen to Him, my hands and feet to walk His walk and do His work and He lives in my heart.

Hmmmm, what a wonderful feeling.

This Rite has significant meaning for me. A rite, if filled with purpose, can be very meaningful. I used to think that such rites are a waste of time but now I think that rite is a way to further reinforce into us some special meaning. Just like tonight, by the way of this Rite of Acceptance, I felt that I am moving closer to God and just like Psalm 23, the Lord is my Shepherd and I shall not be in want. During the homily, we were encouraged to look to Jesus at the beginning and end of each day and our lives will change for the better. Well, no harm trying. With an open heart, let Jesus come in to our lives and let Him perform miracles in our lives. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. … Glory be to God!




p.s thank you friends for all your well wishes, and for you who had made the effort to come and share my joy. Thank you dear dear for being here with me, thank you Francis, Aurelia, and fellow Romans who had in one way or another encouraged me =) Thank you Father for all your blessings and gifts that you have showered me with. Thank you Father… =)

p.p.s quite "coincidentally", the bro who did the sign of the cross for me is called Francis.. the name of my favourite Saint. =)

Tour back to SAJC

Sunday, November 20, 2005
I realised that age is catching up on me - no longer as energentic as I was ten years ago =(
A few of us met up to take pics at our JC before it relocates. Even we began the photo taking session proper, we were already stoning. Thankfully, there was Julian who kept pushing us along. Needless to say, we were all quite happy when we are done with the photo taking session. haha.
This tour back to school brings back lots of memories - those were to good old days. It was just worrying about school work, passing exams, where to hang out after school and checking out cute guys in the school. haha. Really carefree - we do not have to worry about living up to people's expectations etc.
At the entrance of the school, there was a phrase "we believe that you are not here by chance".
Yes. Whatever are our experiences/people we had met/places we had been to, they did not happen by chance but it happened for God's purpose/pleasure. Even after we fall, we must stand up and be strong and continue our journey ... just like the school song Up & On! Up & On! We just have to keep our focus on Him and keep on marching. =) His plan for us will become clearer in His own time. =)
Dear Father, please give us strength when we are weak and guide us with Your mighty right hand as we continue our journey on earth together with You, Jesus & Holy Spirit. Amen.

Yea! I am moving on ....

Saturday, November 19, 2005
Yea, I am moving on to another stage of my life from an inquirer to become a Catechumen this Sunday (Rite of Acceptance)

Last night, we had a sharing session on various questions like who is journeying with you? Why you want to follow Jesus? What do you think is your future calling is.

The sharing was great as I realised that many of us had faced the same issues/had similar experiences in our journey with Him. He is so wonderful. Sometimes I just imagine it would definitely feel out-of-this-world is I really receive a hug from Jesus himself .. hahaha.

The Lord calls each of us in His own time and in His own way. Just open your heart to hear Him and receive Him. Let Him come into your life to perform many wonderful miracles!

Praise be to Lord!

So much to do and yet so little time ...

Thursday, November 17, 2005
So much to do and yet so little time ...

Was on leave yesterday and the day before. When I got back to the office this morning, tons of emails greeted me. On top of the to-dos brought forward from last week, there were new tasks to be completed today. Work is never ending - so much to do and yet so little time ....

--------------------------------

What's up for me this week:-
Thurs night - RCIA
Fri night - Friend is buying the gang dinner coz it's her birthday
Sat morning - gathering with JC friends
Sat night - got 2 inviations - now i dunno which one I should attend
Sun evening - Rite of acceptance *Finally!*

Things to do:- go for my flu jab (else HR would come after me); Rackee some banquet halls (if we have the time)

Keep my mum company?

Hmm, she's angry with me for something that I did. I knew she would not like it and I still went ahead to do it. So there is cold war going on. Well, I suppose I am in a "CBB" mode (can't be bothered). I just go about my routine - talk when necessary, try to share with her - if there is no response, I also CBB. Strangely, I am the only one feeling the coldness. My thick-skinned brother did not sense anything unusual. Anyway ... *shrug!*
Work life is going to get more hectic - was wondering - Am I stupid/slow or what? I never seem to be able to complete the never ending lists of to-dos.
Looks like the short break didn do much for me ... too short maybe ...

When you were a kid and you had done something that your parents would not like you to do, they would either scold or even cane you.

Have you ever realised that as you grow older, the beatings may lessen and the scolding are not so much but in return, you get more nagging or in another extreme, more cold shoulders.

Am I too sensitive? I am receiving lots of cold shoulders this year.

It's hard to please people -even if they are your parents and there seem to be a missing link somewhere between the two generation. What can be done to bridge this link? Efforts from both parties I suppose?

Anyway .... ..... .....

I am going to sleep - after a week of (mental) battle at work - I just want to sleep and forget about all these cold shoulders.

Father, thank you for this beautiful day and this fruitful week that You had given to me. Thank you for all the good things that You have blessed me with. I pray that I will move on stronger and use me as Your tool to touch more people and soften hardened hearts. This is my prayer thru Jesus Christ, AMEN.

My Lord is wonderful! (Prayer attached)

Friday, November 11, 2005
Dear all

Yes, I missed another RCIA lesson. =( Though I would very much prefer to be in the fellowship of my bro & sis-in-christ, I need to stay behind to help my other colleagues who are helping me with the reporting. (I have finished my part of the report. Now waiting for my colleagues to feed me with the additional information.)

The topic covered today is " Am I Ready? What am I willing to do? The meaning of the cross" Bet it will be another enlightening/mind opening lesson. Wonder if Father T will have any remedial class for me on all the lessons that I had missed out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was actually dreading coming to work today. There is so much to be done but it is beyond my own power to complete it. Thank you Lord for sending Your helpers to me. Things worked out in His own way. I was able to concentrate on what needs to be done and all those not-so-urgent tasks were taken care of because of His grace.

Thank you God for using Francis to send an email to me. It's a prayer and upon reading it, I felt a sense of calmness. The prayer is attached below.

Enjoy reading it. God Bless!!!
___________________________________________________
Hi Bro n Sis,

Here's a simple, yet powerful prayer for you and your family members, making Christ the centre of your life.

Please take a moment to relax your mind and humble your heart to focus on Christ. Allow God to be the only person on your mind while you read this prayer.

If we can take the time to read long jokes, stories, etc., we should give the same respect to this prayer. Friends, who pray together, stay together.


Dear Lord, I thank you for this day.

I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning.

I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God.

You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness.

Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You.

Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things.

Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. *AMEN* Let me continue to see sin through God's eyes and acknowledge it as evil. And when I sin, let me repent, and confess with my mouth my wrongdoing, and receive the forgiveness of God.

And when this world closes in on me, let me remember Jesus' example -- to slip away and find a quiet place to pray. It's the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits.
I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart.
Continue to use me to do Your will.
Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others.
Keep me strong that I may help the weak.
Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others.
I pray for those who are lost and can't find their way.
I pray for those who are misjudged and misunderstood.
I pray for those who don't know You intimately.
I pray for those who don't believe. But I thank you that I believe.

I believe that God changes people and God changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their households.I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met.

I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees them and every mouth that confesses them willingly.

This is my prayer. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Skips and dances round*

Busy Week

Gosh!

This is one busy week for me - doing month end reporting and preparing the numbers for the parent companies. (Thankfully I am not working in a listed company yet.)
It's a challenge when you have try to follow and understand how the reporting is being down and what are the manual adjustments etc. The learning curve is steep but even though i may seem to be complaining, I am actually enjoying this "torture" - ha ha. I am mad. =P

Looking forward to go for a short holiday this week.

=)
p.s hope i can make it for the RCIA this thurs

Psalm 34

Really inspiring, really touching to read a psalm like this in the morning =)
_______________________________________
Psalm 34

Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he left.

1 [a] I will extol the LORD at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.

2 My soul will boast in the LORD;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.

3 Glorify the LORD with me;
let us exalt his name together.

4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.

5 Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.
6 This poor man called, and the LORD heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.

7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.

8 Taste and see that the LORD is good;
blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

9 Fear the LORD, you his saints,
for those who fear him lack nothing.

10 The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

11 Come, my children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

12 Whoever of you loves life
and desires to see many good days,

13 keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from speaking lies.

14 Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive to their cry;

16 the face of the LORD is against those who do evil,
to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.

 18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

 19 A righteous man may have many troubles,
but the LORD delivers him from them all;

20 he protects all his bones,
not one of them will be broken.

21 Evil will slay the wicked;
the foes of the righteous will be condemned.

22 The LORD redeems his servants;
no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him.

His Calling .... & My Response .....

Monday, November 07, 2005
As the hymn goes, it was sang that "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life....He is the Way, the Truth and the Life .... His Commandment to us is to Love - Love our neighbours as ourselves ...."

This sums up His calling for me. =)

_______________________________________________________________

Last night, at the session, we were suppose to reflect what is He calling us to do. I saw myself cruising along a highway (i wasn't driving) and from a distance, i saw a cross shining brightly. I am cruising towards Him. Along the journey, there were obstacles but the car I was in managed to overcome it and I continued in my journey towards Him. I suppose this is His way of answering me, answering all the question marks i had in my head.

Though i was feeling tired - aching back and headache, I am really thankful for the wonderful session and the wonderful sharing that I had with my fellow sis- & bros-in-christ and also with my dearie. I am thankful to God for sending him to me and being able to journey together.
_______________________________________________________________
At the end of the session, I realised that He is not asking a lot from me in return for His love. He just wants to be my friend and He just wants me to be His follower. His love for me is U.N.C.O.N.D.I.T.I.O.N.A.L!
Thank you God for all Your wonderful goodness. I pray that all the lonely people will open their hearts to hear Your calling and for those who are sick that they will also open their hearts to let You come into their life to perform miracles. Let Your love melt all hardened hearts. AMEN.

Aching

Saturday, November 05, 2005
I’m dying.

I went to bed with a migraine and I woke up with the right side of my face aching – the right eyeball is aching, the right cheek is aching and even the right side of the gum (the pinkish gum where the wisdom tooth would sit) is aching.

There is no bump, no scar – nothing! Yet my face is aching.

=(

I seem to be plagued with more than my usual share aching joints/face etc this year. Haiz.

Age is catching up on me I guess.

Copied from somewhere .....

Rationality vs Emotion
Rationality in times of longing
Rationality in times of lonliness
Rationality in times of sadness
Rationality in times of jealousy
Rationality in times of happiness
Rationality in times of irrationality

How many times of rationality reminders do I need? How many times do I need reality to meet me in the face? Earth continues to rotate, sun continues to rise and set, people continue to move on.
Yes, move on.
I remember.
I will remember.
I must remember.
I know I've made the choice.
People move on. I know.

My take:-

Why be so tough on yourself? Why put on a strong front even in front of your own self?

I know you are going to say that you have to live with the choice since you have decided on it. True but maybe you have not really let the fact sinked in ... go cry it out loud, get emotional, keep the rationality aside/away for a while.

Let your own true self flow out for once. After all these, you may be able to move on just like how the other person had moved on.

Hmm, I think you know who i am referring to and what i am referring to. I may be wrong about the particular issue but i suppose this applies to all or most of the situations that we may face in life... allow yourself to be sad, to cry for a while and after all these, just wipe the tears away and move on ... just like our school motto "UP & ON!!!!!*

Hearts are in the waking here ,...

Lives are in the making here ....

Mighty undertaking here

Up & on ... Up & on ....

~My School Song~

Pray for us ....

It’s so easy to get carried away, chasing after beautiful things, and forgetting the basics.

In the process of this material chase, we would get into disagreement with our loved ones, we would get angry, frustrated, envious of others, jealous of others and disappointment.

Many questions would pop out – often, self blaming or blaming others. These are not constructive questions and may even lead to greater bitterness.

It is time that we get a hold on ourselves.

Take a step back.

Ask ourselves – what are we chasing after? Who are we satisfying? Is there life after all this materialistic chase? What is our original purpose? What are we celebrating?

I suppose we can see clearer after all the hoo-ha have settled and when we can think more logically ….

Pray for us.

Dear Lord, I pray that we are able to share our joy with friends and relatives from our hearts and with Him and NOT sharing our joy in the form of materialistic manifestation, being part of the rat race. Pray that we will stay loving towards one another always and pray for understanding, patience from all the people around us. Pray that we are able to hear Jesus’ directions for us loudly and clearly and not be blinded by superficial things. …. These are my prayers. AMEN.

Happy Deepavali, Happy All Saints Day

Packed my messy table last night - throwing away lots of bills - phone bills, credit card bills, promotion brochures. If only I can turn all these papers into money $$

_________________________________________________________
Went for a morning walk with my mum this morning. I had stopped jogging for a while due to the knee cap pain but as it didn get any better, i have decided to go back to walking. At least i get to breathe in some fresh air and walk my other parts of the body. The walk was good - end the walk with a bit of yoga stretching.
_________________________________________________________
Didn do much today. Didn go anywhere as the weather is too hot to be anywhere outside the house and BF is doing his revision for his exam tomorrow. Hope he can do well. =)
I spent the day doing my cross stitch. This project was started a few years ago but I only began to pick it up again. Hoping to complete it by the end of this week. I am left with outlining hte doors and windows which are much more tedious than the other parts of the picture (now my neck is aching.... )
Click here to see what I am doing (I'm doing the street). I love his designs.
_________________________________________________________
Hmm, turning in now. Another long day at work tomorrow - need to do handover from my colleague, prepare sales report and also finish that damn spreadsheet!
