Today, i finally took the time to go to the home... haven't been there for the longest time...

Well, i must say i had a very good time there, catching up with many good ole friends that i have missed much (and who miss me a lot too!! hahahaa.) They were soon to get over the "y u so long nv come!", as we moved on to talk about other stuff... it was really a good catch up with them.

I found out a news today, that i kinda had a hunch about, yet when i heard it, i was really sad and shocked.. Yup... Found out that Dulcie had passed away... sigh... Don't know how to feel or wat to say about it... just .. yup... sigh! She is someone very dear to me.. We had this special relationship.... this special trust... as i cycled back just now, her words came ringing in my ears.. "Aiyo, my dear, not this one, the other one...".. "Wah u are here ah my dear, come come bring me to my room.." Haha,, she is so candid, so real... and her faith is simple....

You are dearly missed, Dulcie. But i know that where u r in heaven, u r free from the pain and suffering... And i take comfort in that..

Take time in life to enjoy the simple things, like talking to a friend.. :)

Above all else, Guard your Heart..

I just listened to pastor's message as i missed it last sunday... Wow, just as my colleague said, it is really quite powerful.

Pastor spoke about being fit for battle - Guard your heart, Develop your character and Train your stamina...

He mentioned something that is very interesting and refreshing. He said, pray for an unoffendable heart... Not that you will not be offended, but you CannoT be offended. Wow...

The bible tells us to guard our heart, for it is the wellspring of life. When we let offenses come in to our hearts, it clogs up slowly but surely. Guard our hearts so that we will always be pure in our words, thoughts and actions.

When the time of testing comes, your heart is revealed. That is something u can never hide..

:)

hMm...

With so much happening in the world now, it's really set me thinking..

I look at my family.. it's complete, we're happy.. definitely there can be improvements, but overall, i am really blessed to come from such a gd family... and yet, i also know that just one calamity can bring us down to zero.. let's say i suddenly discover that i have cancer... there goes all the life savings.... there goes all the time we have....

I look at singapore... everything seems stable, literally.... But one earthquake can shake us all and diminish singapore to just dust...

And i know that at the end of the day, God is the only constant... Everything, really... everything and anything can change... But so long as i hold on to the Lord my God, at least i know i am secure...

Just some thoughts at the end of the week..

I have always heard and wondered about this phrase: Live each day as though it were the last.. I for one, have nv been able to do that... i live each day expecting many thousands more days to come.. hahaa... Well, just something to ponder on.

HAha, alright, bye!

Well, it;s monday night now and we're back to reality - singapore, work, real life. hahaa. As we get into our usual busy lives again, I pray that each of us will always know that no matter what, we'll always be there for one another - to care, to listen, or even just to crap.... :)

Have a great week ahead!

Older Generation Employees

Over the weekend, i had the privilege of getting to know a group of generally older employees.. PRobably my parents' generation, plus a few years.. Their simplicity and genuine kindness really impressed me. Their humble spirit put me to shame.. Their generosity in speech and action was so, so natural..On hindsight, I now know they were God-sent angels to show me what it means to live a life of simplicity, with an attitude of service.

Generally speaking, there really is a big difference between their generation and mine. In terms of work: Their loyalty to the company is unquestionable; silly arguments of the unfairness of systems seem to hardly even bother them. Their respect for authority is commendable yet so genuine. To me, I equate submitting to authority to respecting.. But to them, to respect authority is to really really respect and follow and believe in... I don't know how to put it. It is really a stark difference.. It makes me wonder.. Is my generation simply too smart for our own good?

Of course, there were only about 5 or 6 of them, and this small sample size definitely cannot define the older generation of workers. But all i can say is i'm really very impressed and taken aback. Why am i wasting time complaining about things that really don't matter? I need to learn to appreciate things more...

Ok, it's the end of my sunday and it's a new week tmr. Haha, alright, no complaining about work, crow! Not for today, at least! hehe.
