It has been a long long week for me.. Busy researching and planning for my projects, gonna plan a CNY shopping spree for my listeners. Walked around Victoria Street Wholesales Centre, Pasir Panjang Wholesales Centre, Bugis area and Defu Lane to look for merchants selling CNY stuffs. Used up so many packets of tissue to wipe my sweat. Gonna sit down with manager tmr, so show him wad I've found out, and submit a proposal to him. Really hope that my walking and sweating doesn't go into waste.
Went to Sitex Fair today, with Chong and Peng. Wanted to get a new camera, a semi pro type. Went to look around, had many deep thoughts, FINALLY!! I end up not buying a new camera. Its more than a want than need. So I got what I need, a external hard disk. Got a 120Gb hard disk for $107. I was so mountain tortise today. Came across a new term at the fair, didn't know that other than KB, MB and GB, now there's even TB. haha.. I think TB is about 100 or 1000GB?
Come to realize, I've got most of the things in my wish list, except the hard disk. Got my ps2 which I sold away. Got my k800i, which I lost and now using the k810i. Got my new liverpool jersey. Wow! I've gotten all that I've listed down in my wish list. I really didn't expect to own all of them. Think better not have a new wish list. It'll just end up with a bigger hole in my pocket.
After Sitex Fair, we went over to John Little Mega Expo Sales. WAH!!!! Got so many things I wanna buy but not enough time plus I don't wanna spend so much. In the end, I bought a belt and some ankle socks. All my socks got big holes in them, even a small rat and go through. Haha..
Wooo HOO!! Weekends are coming.. Can't wait for Saturday soccer, FOM and CHURCH!!! A lot of friends say I got no life, Monday to Friday work, Saturday and Sunday go church. But I really enjoy going to church and have fellowship with church mates. In fact, its where I really find true life, not their life by clubbing and being merry.
3rd time in a row, have I failed to watch my liverpool Champions League match. I managed to stay up till 2am last night. But in the end, I still fall asleep. Manage to wake up at 3 though, but was just too tired.. It was great that they won Porto 4 - 1, if not it means that I have missed the last Champions League game for liverpool. No matter what, I must stay up to watch the match against Marseille in a fortnight's time. It could jolly well be their last Champions League game if they do not win. COME ON REDS!!

R 'n' B - Repent and Believe
Today's bible study really smacked me right at the head. It made me worry, almost tremble to realize the seriousness of sin. The content might be disturbing, but its just what I feel. My apologies if you are offended.
Today's study is the final 3rd Chapter of the study guide, talking about Jesus being betrayed by Judas and his last hour. This part of the bible, is rather similar to the "Chronicles of Narnia". The younger brother Edmund, is like Judas. The white witch maybe Pharisees and Chief Priests. And Aslan, Jesus. Edmund betraying Aslan for turkish delights, mirroring to Judas betraying Jesus for 30 silver coins. Aslan dying, in exchange to save Edmund, Jesus dying to save us.
What hit me is not because of the similarities with the movie, but rather how serious sin is to God. In order for God to forgive sin, sacrifice must be made. Blood shed, life taken. Jesus died for us, so that our sins can be forgiven.
God hates sin so much, that there must be a sacrifice. How much God hates sin, makes me tremble. First time I really understand what it means to tremble at God's word. I realize that believing in Jesus is 1 thing, but in the whether, being saved or not is another. We can claim that we believe, but our lives have to prove it. Repentance must start now, it can't be delayed. Jesus might just come back the next day, minute or second. We can never be perfect, so while we struggle to overcome sin, may we all continue to persevere and not give up.
Now realizing the importance of of repentance is 1 thing. Knowing what God really means is another. We can't really be transform if we do not know God's word and what He means. Its only thru constant reading and praying that we can know God more and His will for us.
In the end of age, God will come and separate the sheep and the goats. I really do not want to be the goats. Many people claim to be Christians, while the way they live is in total contradiction. But it is not for me to judge, save or not save, its ultimately God who decides.
Its really by God's grace that I can have the opportunity to read and learn God's words. Its thru His grace and mercy that I am passed over from the destroyer. At times, while serving in church, people may feel different from others. By coming to church regularly, they may feel that they are better than others who do not attend to regularly. But we must be reminded that its thru His grace and our faith that we are saved. By faith not by works.
Sometimes we may feel that this person is way too bad to share the gospel with. He is hopeless, so sinful. But knowing that we are saved by His grace not anything that we've done, the more we should share the gospel to them.
In the book of Matthew, I see how God's master plan is being fulfilled reminds me of God's sovereignty. That no matter what happen, I got to continue to trust in God. If its God's will, anything can happen.

What's wrong with me?
Got to work today, even though it's a Sunday. Went to the Active Aging Carnival opposite ParkMall. The weather was sooooo hot, was perspiring crazily. Met several interesting people at the carnival. First was a group of people. When people came to our booth, our of their first words are, "Huh? Rediffusion still alive?" Haha.. Of course we are alive! Just that the subscriber rate dived quite drastically. There were also some loyal listeners who came down to support the DJs. They brought us drinks and food and kept us accompanied by chatting with us.
Poor poor Jenn Yang. Out of no where, he got himself a new nickname. Before singspiration, on Saturday. I was looking at the songs that Christine has prepared. The projection was like this, "All: This is our king", but I saw it as Ali this is our king. Don't know how Dom can anyhow link that Jenn Yang is Ali. Jenn Yang is known as sheep, so baa baa black sheep. Then Ali Ba Ba. So Jenn Yang got his 5th nickname from us. First was jenny, then sheep, than shawn, then lost, now Ali. Haha..
During bible studies, Wai asked where is Melanie and Marilyn. So I told him that they have some family retreat. I tried to be funny, and added that they went to "Ho" Chi Minh City. Then Ali added that they went there for "Ho"liday. Usually holiday is pronounce is hor-li-day, but he said it as ho-li-day. Another stupid thing that happened was when I was tasked to read the bible. I am very sure that I read "how did you enter the hall without wedding clothes" but some others who can't hear say that I read "how did you enter the hall without wearing clothes". Worst thing is that they keep disturbing me about it. Haiz.. Wad a way to show their love for me... haha..
After bible studies went to Tampines Safra to play soccer with some brothers from Hosanna Baptist Church. Due to the tiredness from the morning game, I end up playing with the kids. Who knows playing with the kids is even more tiring. Cos they are much slower than me and Wai, was tempted to use our speed as adult to bully them. In the end both of us ran even more than we've expected. It was fun playing with the kids. They reminded me of my kids from the care centre.. Sob sob : .. ( I miss them so much...
I haven't been myself lately.. Haven't seen her for a week. I so want to talk to her, but whenever I see her, I'll build a barrier before myself.. Saw her online, want to chat, but just dun know what to say.. What's wrong with me?!

Yuck!!
What is the point of being first in everything? First biggest plane, first night street race, etc? When the citizens themselves are not number 1? Encountered 3 disgusting side of Singaporean in this week.
First 2 was at the train station. I was in the train when I saw a lady trying to rush into the train. Door alert was already beeping, but she definitely can make it into the train. Suddenly from behind came a man... A MAN!! rushing from behind and push the lady aside. In the end the man went into the train but the lady did not.
Next encounter at the train station is when the door opens. Passengers in the train want to alight and passengers outside the train want to board. Few years ago, passenger boarding will still let some of the passenger alight before boarding. But now, not sometimes, but most of the time, people boarding never let those who wants to alight get out first. All will rush in once the door open and people will clash with each other. What has happened to Singapore?
Just now when walking home.. From far I can see smoke coming out of a rubbish bin near the playground and also smell of burning plastic. When walking nearer, I can see flame in the rubbish bin. The top part of the bin is melting. Some idiots must have set the bin on fire. 2 malays was sitting somewhere in the playground. The play ground might have blocked their view. But the smoke and smell is so obvious, there's no way they can tell that something is burning and it is plastic. They can just sit down there and chit chat and laugh to each other. They are not bothered about the burning bin at all? Thank God I have some water left in my bottle.. Just sufficient for me to put off the fire.
Seriously, Singaporeans are just so selfish, inconsiderate, and all the negative things. Not giving sits to elders and pregnant women, isn't this bad enough? What has this world changed us into? We only care about ourselves. Its all me, me, me. I, I, I. Haiz :(
