Mediocre No More

At tonight's workshop, it dawned on me why I'm feeling restless.
When Rick mentioned about Christians being under-represented and associated with mediocrity, there was a jolt in my spirit. As I sat there listening, something clicked in me.

I don't want to be mediocre but I often see myself as one. I want to be influential and be good at what I'm good at. I want to soar higher and further. But I'm still mediocre. It has been my struggle for this while and in me, I'm crying out for more. I can't stand monotony as much as mediocrity but it seems I'm stuck in the rut.

Then there's Pastor George's sermon yesterday that awaken the giant in me. 'Anchor Generation' that will run much faster than the predecessors. WOW.

Suddenly I'm excited all over again. 2010 is a year to behold. A year of many 'first times' for me. I don't know but it was a statement that kept ringing through my head yesterday.

In any case...the gun has sounded, the race has begun. First, second and third runners have ran their race, now its the last runner who will have to finish well.

Finish not with mediocrity but with a spirit of excellence.

Finish being the best of the best.

Wo(Man) of the hour

As I read the tribute to the late Dr Goh Keng Swee, I can't help but feel this profoundly deep admiration for this immensely brilliant forefather of Singapore. I was in awe of his contributions and how his influence is so pervasive in modern Singapore, yet so few actually heard and know of his legacy. The more I read on about what people remembered of him and his long list of accolades, the more proud I am to be a Singaporean. I never knew places of interests like our zoo, bird park and even Sentosa were his ideas! These are just a tiny fraction of his contributions. My gosh....it was just an incredible discovery and I was hooked to the Saturday's Special edition on 'Remember Dr Goh Keng Swee'. Strangely, my heart was pounding as I read and later reflected on this titan's life. Instinctively, a question came to mind i.e. will there be another titan like Dr Goh, Mr Lee KY, Mr Wee Kim Wee or the other members of the Old Guard in my generation? Will I get to see one em...

Day 3 & 4 - Halong Bay

HALONG BAY Cat Ba Island (2 days, 1 night) After 1 day of exploration of Hanoi city, we headed for Halong Bay via the junkboat. Our destination was on Cat Ba Island where we stayed for the night. It was also there that we ventured onto 'Monkey' Island - not to be deceived; there was only 4 monkeys sighted. The exhilirating part of this journey was the motorbike ride to the ferry terminal to board the boat to 'Monkey' Island. Felt like I was part of a short scene of a James Bond movie (pillion with Pierce Brosnan!). Will never forget the cold draft blowing against my face and just riding up and down the slopes! Cat Ba Island is a very quiet & tranquail place. Little activity especially at night. Wanted to catch the morning activities at the fishing wharf opposite our hotel but could not wake up in time. Nonetheless, managed to capture some snippets of what goes on at the bay. Waiting patiently to board the boat. Snapped this on board the boat. Not a vietnamese but fe...

Walking right just makes it easier for Him to bless and use you." - Uncle Ross Patterson. 2 powered statements from 2 power servants of God in 2 power weeks. What more can I say? Let my words be few then.
