Time Not Enough..

I have no time, too many things in life. Too tired after a long day in school. These are reasons I have been hearing from people. God gave us 24 hours a day. We spend about 8 hours sleeping, which is about a third of a day. We spend the other two third of our day, bathing, eating, go to school, go to work... Doing things we have to do and things we enjoy doing. Things we have to do includes work, school, eat.. Things we enjoy doing are like our leisures, reading, sports, games..
The problem is, do we include reading the bible and talking to God in our "have to do" and "enjoy doing" part of our life. If has to be in the "have to do" part, even though we do not include in into the "enjoy doing" part. Reading and praying are commands given by God. We have time to watch our favourite TV series, to play our favourite game, read books, comics and play our favourite sports. Why don't we have time to read about God and talk to Him? To me, its all about priortizing. Who do we put before us. God or ourselves? I myself have the same problem, and I am now going to make an effort to read and talk to God before I sleep, no matter how tired I am.. Having accepting Jesus as Lord, our lifes are controlled by Him. Therefore there is a need for us to know more about Him and talk to Him.. I pray for all Christians, to have the desire and discipline to read God's words. To put God before everything..

8 more days to ORD!!

8 more working days to ORD.. Finally, going to finish 2 years of imprisonment. Went to Wai's place for dinner and bible reading today. Continued with Colossians. Was reminded that Jesus is all that I need for my salvation. There's no need to add in other things. Adding in extra things means subtracting from what Jesus has already done. We should rely fully on Jesus for our slavation. Continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel we already have.

Had fun playing with Elliot again. And as usual, more funny and cute things from Elliot. After studying the book of Colossians, while praying, he kept insisting of praying for his friends in Singapore and Australia. Played soccer with him under the void deck while Maria prepares dinner. Me and Wai kept warning him that if he wants to play soccer, he musn't use his hands, if not we won't pass the ball to him. Haha.. So the way he stops the ball is trying to stop the ball by positioning the ball between his feet.

Maria prepared steak, with raw tomatoes, carrot, lettuce and potato salad for dinner. Haha, another episode of fear factor for me. Raw tomatoes and carrot. Ate up everything after all. Raw tomatoes doesn't taste that bad after all. After dinner, he told me, " Kor Kor Richman, its time for you to go back". Then I say ok bye.. Then he immediately asked me not to go yet, says that I have to bathe here, sleep here and play with him again the next day. haha.. The funniest thing was half way playing, he went to his four and start to give his constipated look again. This time he seems to be using a lot of force. Haha.. He did his poo poo in his diaper. That look is just sooo funny. Too bad I lost my camera phone, if not I can record that face of his. Haha..

After he got washed up, continued to play with him. Playing cooking and hide and seek. I purposely hide in the dark room that he can't find me. After a while he began to sound like crying. So I show myself and he ran to me and hug me, asking me not to leave him alone again. Haha.. He even say he love me.. Hahahahaha.. After playing, Wai prepared milk for him and after drinking, helped him brush teeth then he went to bed and I headed home.

6 more days to Athens..

13 more working days....

13 more working days to go. Times are passing very slowly in office, due to not doing much work and slacking. Throwing all my work to my understudy. No one can say that I am mean to him, if I don't let him do everything, how will he learn, right? I still have to vet through his work to check for mistakes and guide him along. So not totally doing nothing.

Went to Wai's place after work. Dom and Yang was there too. Wai cooked us pasta as Maria is still recovering from the fall and she is pretty tired. Played with little Elliot while they do the cooking. Elliot is sooo cute. Haha.. Tried to confuse him while playing with him. Asked him, "Elliot, what sound do lion make?" Without hesitation, he roared. Then I asked again,"How about tiger?" He stood there, pondered while scratching his head, then he roared as well. Asked him what sound does fish make, then he made the f sound. Watched with him "Thomas the Train" on computer, kept insisting to sit on my lap. After dinner, he rudely snatched his little guitar from my hands, but looking at him playing the guitar with a funny but cute constipated face made me laughed. Was rather shocked and surprise and dinner when I went to the toilet for a leak. Was shock to see 6 ping pong balls in the toilet bowl. Immediately went out to ask Maria bout the balls, in case its Elliot who threw them in. The balls were used to train Elliot to use the toilet bowl to pee. They are there for him to shoot at. Haha.. But dun think that it worked on him.

Am thankful that I manage to sell away my ps2 slim. Posted my ad on SAF forum and found a buyer. Meeting him this weekend to pass him the console. Am so called using the money to pay for my mission trip and also my long waited Nokia E65. Haha..

15 more days to Athen..

To wait or not to wait....

Pastor mention before during sermons, reasons why people wait and why people don't like to wait.

Why people wait? People wait because they are waiting for an important moment, the thing they are waiting for is what they want, they have no choice, its not up to them to decide to wait or not to.

Why people dun like to wait? Because the outcome might not be what they want, they just do not have the patience to wait, what they are waiting for is not what they desire.

For me, in life, there are a few important moments that I am waiting for. The main waiting is the coming back of my Lord and Savior Jesus, to bring me back to Heaven, to put an end to all my sufferings and sins.

Am also waiting for my national service to be over, to take a step into another stage of life. Most probably gonna work, can't see myself going back to school to study.

Also waiting for "her" to be ready. I know that she is not ready yet, I can't be selfish and just think of myself. Anything now will just not work, I have to wait for her to have the same thinking as me, looking to the future of having a life partner. It's not easy, as I am always tempted to confess. The feeling of waiting is just unbearable, feel like i'm going to blow. But she is an important person to me, so I will wait.

The shortest waiting is for 23 May to come. My Liverpool FC will face AC Milan. A repeat of 2005 Champions League Finals at Istanbul. This year it will be at Athens. With AC all out for revenge, really can't wait for kick off. Everything will be decided in a night. Hope there everything can be settled within normal time. COME ON MIGHTY REDS!

Lord, help me understand that no matter Liverpool wins or lose, no matter if she is meant for me or not, that I will still rejoice in what has been on the cross for me, the death of your Son that brought me life. Just pray that if everything is to your will, that things will work out. Provide me with patience, wisdom and self control.. Amen

As the Red goes marching on..

Tonight is the night. The night I've been looking forward for a long time. Its the 2nd league of the semi final of the Champions League. Chelsea bringing over a 1-0 lead from the first league. Liverpool must win Chelsea, no matter wad.. 4 more hours to kick off.. It will surely be hell of a match..

Today is Labour Day. Went to Sentosa with some of the youths. We played beach volley ball, frisbee and soccer. I even played cricket with 2 new made friends, one a South African and another a New Zealander. Stayed over at DOM's place last night. Tot can play x box and watch soccer with Dom and Yang, but yang flew our kite again. haha.. Woke up early morning at 7 to prepare sandwich for them. Make tune, egg mayo and egg mayo with crab sticks. All had fun a everything was good.. Went to Wai's place after tat, bathe there and the rest watched VCD while I fell asleep and snored on the sofa.

19 more days in the office. The day of ORD is getting nearer and nearer. I can smell my pink IC coming back to me. HAHA.. 2 years of National Service will come to an end soon. Can't wait for 1st June to come. Come to think of it, its really troublesome to ORD. Got to do some stupid online quiz to make sure that NSmen knows everything about reservist, so that we cant give any excuse of not knowing the system. Still got to do so many medical checkups and blood test, to ensure that we do not have HIV and not tortured in camp. Also need to do clearance, go around to collect signatures. 101 things to do.. haiz..

Have been a year plus since I have some feeling for her. Been having some difficult times, facing temptations to confess. I know I shouldn't as she is not ready and everything will just go so wrong. Been trying to get to know her better and talk to her more, but sometimes things just doesn't go the way I want it. Been trying to be very patient and tyring to handle it with Christ in the picture. Been praying for it. Pray for more self control and personal growth spiritually.
