A Tribute

Many came and quite a number left. Only a few, in the past few years, managed to stick through thick and thin with me. Even in friendships, there are stayers & goers. I am honored to have this few good friends, whom I can safely say will be my confidantes till my twilight years.


After dusting the dust off my blog, I decided to dedicate this entry to 2 pals, whom have been such a big part in my life that no words can quite describe how I'm feeling as they are heading to different nations this season. But I know they are living out their destiny and I'm more than honored to be able to walk with them in this journey call LIFE.



ANAIS LEE YAN LING


As I blogged, she is already on her way to catch her flight to HK to embark on her DTS stint for the next 6 months. Truly a connector at heart to all peoples. She has been the glue that binds different ones together for as long as I've known her. Unchanging and steadfast in her pursuit of what God has placed on her heart. Her 'cheong-sua-ness' is a force not to be reckoned with.

I know she is in the right season to go and I'm fully convinced that the dream that was planted many years back is now beginning to take shape. My friend, your wait is never in vain. He honors your heart that chose to wait and never letting go of His dream.


Soar on wings of eagles as He carries you through the mountains and valleys in this exciting and adrenaline-filled journey.



JOANNE CHAN KAREN




Settling comfortably in the land of Tom-Yam kung :) Sent her off yesterday and we won't be seeing her till next Jan hopefully. An intellect who always had a heart for bigger things for the nations. She doesn't wait for change to happen but she puts her best foot forward to want to be the change or be part of it to say the least.


Off to pursue her Masters in International Development (i think) at the University of Chulalongkorn. I joked and told her to first start work with the vendors at Chatuchak! :) I will miss her laughter, which is way louder and more aggressive than mine! I will also miss our spontaneous banters that revolves around the most random topics, say from politics to our ahem daily toilet business! This is Jo for you :)


Witnessing how they are well enroute towards their respective destinations for this season brings comfort to me as I know they will be well-taken care of. My fellow 'cheong-suaers'....You have my support and together we will serve with the same kind of fervour to be the influence that we are called to be, regardless of where we may be.


GOD BLESS & TILL WE MEET AGAIN!

SHAKING OFF THE DUST

Its been a long hiatus :) So many things have taken place and so many reflections to document but the inertia to do it was just to great to resist. Anyhow, decided to take some time during this break to start the 'blogging engine' going again. Hopefully, it revives my hope and wish to keep this site alive.  Just had the annual ODAC camp @ Ubin and while trekking around the island with the kiddies yesterday, I chanced upon this little grasshopper at the Sensory Trail. I managed to get up close and personal for this shot, which was taken with my new iPhone 7 ahem. Image was sharp and it looked great!  And the verse that came to mind was: "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?....Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." - Matthew 6: 26-34 In my rest...

Count your blessings

I bought this set of keychain for my gramps. So cute right? They both love it to bits man! Haha..I'm proud of myself. A wise person said this to me this morning: "when you count your blessings, you will find many things to be thankful for...". True true. Been rather short fused these days and especially with family members. My grandma bore the brunt of it on monday when she suddenly appeared at NCC with my grandpa. I wasn't expecting her and so when I saw her, I was quite mean to ask why she was there when I actually know her intentions. I felt the way I felt because firstly I was already bothered about how to take care of grandpop when he sighs and worries about his discomfort and blah and then grandmop comes along and be herself (complain complain and ask same questions 1001 times etc). Double whammy! Anyway in a nutshell, the wise person told me early in the morning that grandmop upset that I brushed her aside that day, which I know was baddie bad bad :( ok i will...

PSALM 121

I lift my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip - he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel, will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life; The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Many a times, man fails to keep his promise but God never. He makes a promise and we can be so sure He will keep it forever and ever. Man may fail but He nevers. Sometimes, we may wonder if God is really doing the right thing for us but I know one thing - trusting Him is the only thing that can never go wrong :)
