Sleeplessness....

Was it the excitement this afternoon, having to make various phone calls to the child sponsors to rearrange for the briefing session, or was it because the new lesson learnt at the calligraphy, or was it the effect of the tea I run into an ex-collegue at the coffeeshop.... well, it was sleeplessness which I had not experienced for a long time.

The calligraphy didn't seems to be improving. Somewhat confused by the different approaches and style of writing the Li-Shu style, and the teacher's approach is somewhat diffferent from what we had seen in some of the video presentation and calligraphy pieces. Well, guess will have to make further exploration and experimentation. Anyway, paid for the next set of lessons from Feb 07. And, one glad thing, is that the sweet girl with the smiling dimples is still there. :)

The moon shone brightly.... another 1/2 month and it would be the Lunar New Year. There are many things to get done soon.... the banking matters, the budgeting, the spring cleaning and the new year cookies....

The neighbourhood is so peaceful.... 3 am......... ahhh.... sleepiness, where are you?

The Polyclinic

The tummy didn't get any better since last night. Think the diarrhoea is really acting up this time... been to the toilet at least 4 times this morning, excluding the 4 times last night. Was it the spicy chicken set I had last evening? Wonder if Nat also had the runs.... hahaha.....

Decided to try out the polyclinic. It's conveniently located just across the road. It's already past 10.30am and I guess that's the most crowded period of the day. Registration was a breeze, identification and a 5 mins wait before my particulars are recorded and the doctor assigned. Room 13, wait for your number 515. Good, let's see.... a good number of folks there are elderly. Wonder how long they had been waiting. The electronic signboard says that the average waiting time is 1 hr 30 mins. But then I had priority due to my blood donor status.... anyway, I am in no hurry. The tummy is acting up slightly, but it seems to be getting better.

My turn came soon enough, after a 15 mins wait. Not a major ailment, so I guess I had made the doctor's work much easier this morning, hahahaa... Well, she did quite a careful check, making the necessary inspection, take temperatures, make my lie on the examination bed and checked to make sure the stomach cramps are not due to other problems.

Collection at the pharmacy is the worst of the wait. People were waiting and the space was indequate to offer even comfortable standing room. Collection of the medicine and payment was equally messy. Nevertheless, I got my medicine soon enough. The total cost is $10/- inclusive of the standard medicine - 10 tablets of small green pills. All in, I spend just over an hour there, thanks to the priority status. Well, my first taste of what it means to be on public subsidised medical care. Now, gotta rush back home for the toilet.... hahaha......

Skyline...

Caught a passing glimpse of the city skyline while on the free shuttle in to Suntec. It's been quite some time since I had a good look at the city skyline. Somehow, the hustle and bustle of working life did not afford us to pause and look.


Many years ago, I had, while onboard the Cristobal, leaving Singapore's harbour, watched the city skyline slowly disappearing from sight. Never had Singapore looks so beautiful then. It's home to family, friends.... and that time, the sunlight played down at the angle that bring out a true image of a beautiful island in the sun. Today, the skyline looks equally imposing.... but the sense of longingness is somewhat, diminised..... island in the sun... where are you? Isn't that a tinge of grey with you there?

Reunion

The first few times of involvement with the volunteering work was easy enough. Simple tasks but very manual. Guess this is why they would need volunteers to help out. It would not be productive to have full-time staff working on these. Was chatting casually with the lady in-charge of donor care when we talked about which church I was attending. She mentioned that the finance manager is also attending the church where I used to be, years ago. Perhaps we might know each other. Luara? Well, I guess not. Her's not a familar face when she came over. But, she could call out my name almost immediately! A little shocked.... am I so well known? lolz.....

So finally, the truth is that she's was with me during the secondary 1 & 2 days! Ofcourse I can recall her name, but it's been such a long time since we went on our separate ways after Sec 4, so I really cannot recognise her. She's been in the organisation for some time now and had joined my previous church after I had left. No wonder we never met. There's really so much to catch up on. But honestly, of the school years, Sec 1 & 2 years were not the times where I treasure most. Was it because of the form teacher? Very likely.... even Luara mentioned her dislike of him. Guess will arrange for lunch one day to really catch up.

Gardenscape...

Thought of going shopping,... so took the MRT down to town. Nothing really caught my fancy, but did managed to get my hair cut. Had been putting that off for some time now. It's almost Chinese New Year and I don't want to have a too newly cropped head over the new year. The thinning top is already bad enough. Leaving a long crop of hair would be alot more sympathatic to me... hahaha......

hmmm... this garden scape looks nice at this angle.

Violets....

Decided to have breakfast at the hawker centre. Simple fare but didn't have the luxury to read my newspaper. It's just too crowded there.

The many makeshift stalls selling stuffs for the Chinese New Year are all set up. Red lanterns, paper couplets, decoration pieces.... the furniture shop, CDs, tidbits... and that stall that sells plants. The purple violets looks so pretty. Bought a small pot, but guess it will not last till the new year. Well, at least the blooms will last a week.

My own plant blooms with pink flower instead, but it's kinda a little pathetic now, very malnourised as I had not been putting in good proper fertilisers for some time now. Guess it's time to do some gardening soon. hmmm... where's that green finger?

Because you love me

Because you love me

For all those times you stood by me,
For all the truth that you made me see,
For all the joy you bring to my life,
For all the wrong that you made right,
For every dream you made come true,
For all the love I found in you,
I'll be forever thankful....

You're the one who held me up, never let me fall.
You're the one who saw me through it all....

You are my strength when I was weak,
You are my voice when I could't speak,
You are my eyes when I couldn't see,
You saw the best there was in me.

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach,
You gave me faith 'coz you believed,
I'm everything I am,
Because you love me.

You gave me wings and made me fly,
You touched my hand I could touch the sky,
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me,
You said no star was out of reach.

You are always there for me,
The tender wind that carried me,
A light in the dark shining your love into my life.
My world is a better place because of you......

Beloved of God

Pastor shared a story today during service. A beautiful story, reminding us that we are God's children, beloved by Him.

A seminary professor was vacationing with his wife in Gatlinburg, TN. One morning, they were eating breakfast at little restaurant, hoping to enjoy a quiet, family meal. While they were waiting for their food, they noticed a distinguished looking, white-haired man moving from table to table, visiting with the guests. The professor leaned over and whispered to his wife, "I hope he doesn't come over here." But sure enough, the man did come over to their table. "Where are you folks from?" he asked in a friendly voice.

"Oklahoma," they answered.

"Great to have you here in Tennessee." the stranger said. "What do you do for a living?"

"I teach at a seminary," he replied.

"Oh, so you teach preachers how to preach, do you? Well, I've got a really great story for you." And with that, the gentleman pulled up a chair and sat down at the table with the couple. The professor groaned and thought to himself, "Great... Just what I need another preacher story!"

The man started, "See that mountain over there pointing out the restaurant window. Not far from the base of that mountain, there was a boy born to an unwed mother. He had a hard time growing up, because every place he went, he was always asked the same question, 'Hey boy, Who's your daddy?' "Whether he was at school, in the grocery store or drug store, people would ask the same question, 'Who's your daddy?'

He would hide at recess and lunch time from other students. He would avoid going in to stores because that question hurt him so bad. "When he was about 12 years old, a new preacher came to his church. He would always go in late and slip out early to avoid hearing the question, 'Who's your daddy?'. But one day, the new preacher said the benediction so fast he got caught and had to walk out with the crowd.

"Just about the time he got to the back door, the new preacher, not knowing anything about him, put his hand on his shoulder and asked him, 'Son, who's your daddy?'" The whole church got deathly quiet. He could feel every eye in the church looking at him. Now everyone would finally know the answer to the question, 'Who's your daddy'. This new preacher, though, sensed the situation around him and using discernment that only the Holy Spirit could give, said the following to that scared little boy

"'Wait a minute!' he said. 'I know who you are. I see the family resemblance now. You are a child of God. With that he patted the boy on his shoulder and said, 'Boy, you've got a great inheritance. Go and claim it.'

With that, the boy smiled for the first time in a long time and walked out the door a changed person. He was never the same again.

Whenever anybody asked him, 'Who's your Daddy?' he'd just tell them, 'I'm a Child of God'." The distinguished gentleman got up from the table and said, "Isn't that a great story?"

The professor responded that it really was a great story!

As the man turned to leave, he said, "You know, if that new preacher hadn't told me that I was one of God's children, I probably never would have amounted to anything!" And he walked away.

The seminary professor and his wife were stunned. He called the waitress over and asked her, "Do you know who that man was who just left that was sitting at our table?"

The waitress grinned and said, "Of course. Everybody here knows him. That's Ben Hooper. He's the former governor of Tennessee!"

Yes, let's live life, ever conscious that we are the beloved of God, for we are in Christ Jesus. Even as God, the Father affirmed Jesus when he came up from the waters after he was baptised, by His words "This is My beloved son, in whom I am well pleased!"; we who are in Him, are also the beloved child of God. And it is first with the affirmation that Jesus received, that He went on to performing great miracles, and healing the sick. We too, achieve great things not to receive God's affirmation, but that we would achieve great things for God when we realise the affirmation we have from God - we are the beloved child of God!

With God, nothing's impossible.

The issue on housing for the singles was highlighted once again in the papers. As a single, one cannot buy a new flat directly from the HDB, although there had been some lifting of the restriction, to the effect of allowing these singles above age 35 to buy flats of any size in the resale market. And, the estimates is that there are some 100,000 singles (aged between 35 - 44) in year 2000. Yearly, about 6000+ singles buy a HDB flat in the open market.

It's a kind of frustrated feeling, a sense of being marginised, discriminated against. After all, the singles contribute as much, if not, even more, to the economy of Singapore.

Just for need of examples, as a single, the single-mindedness in the service rendered at work is something many married people do not offer readily. Waking up at 3am to attend to a system fault, and grabbing just an hour sleep before coming in to work again the next day was a normal occurance met with the least objections. But for the married staff, whether the issues are excuses or real problems for the family members, always makes such work routine into obligations which puts the manager/supervisors into ackward situations. Not to say about those maternity, paternity, and child-care leaves which one is entitled to if you have a family. Hence, I would say, the singles are much more commited than their married counterparts, to their work responsiblilties.

Also, as a single, they are taxed more than their peers with family. Afterall, the various 'pro-family' rebates and claims allows them set aside lesser monies for the taxman. For the singles, tax rebates? Well, dream on......

These are the government's policies. Don't hope to fight against it.

But, with God, nothing's impossible!

My God is concern for my well-being. Is not the comfort of my new flat testimony of God's goodness? Not only was the purchase remarkable, but the location, the allocation, the payment, ..... I believe God did not let me be short-changed. Policies may be set, rules may be laid, but I have a God who is powerful.

Today, I can count the blessings of God in so many areas of my life.

Sword of the Spirit

Thorns - relating to the wilderness, desserts,.... these are symbol of the curse brought about by the fall of man. But we have been redeemed by Christ from the curse. He wore the crown of thorns for us, shedding those precious blood so that the curse may be reversed.

Year 2007, a new year, a new beginning. Prophesy our future, speak things into reality.

How?

Rom 8:26 - Likewise, the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

In the first Pentecost, recorded in Exodus 32:25-28, 3000 were killed. In the first Pentecost after Christ's death, recorded in Acts 2:1-4,41, 3000 were saved. The contrast between the Law, on Mount Sinai; the Spirit, on Mount Zion.

.... and, the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit,...... ~ Ephesians 6:17,18

Cultivate His presence....

Jehovah Jireh - The Lord Provider;
Jehovah Raffa - The Lord Healer;

A new insight into the names that God introduces Himself to the people of Israel. For us, our faith is not a formula or receipe on what to do and what to avoid in order to experience God. Ours is the experience of a person in our lives - Jesus.

1 Corinthians 1:30 - But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God - and righteousness and sanctification and redemption...

Became for us.... our wisdom, He is our wisdom, He in us. Our righteousness, He is our righteousness, a person not dependent upon ourselves, He in us. Our sanctification, our redemption, He in us. Our all.... our prosperity, our healing, our health, our peace..... He is.

And He is unchanging... unchanging yesterday, 2000 years ago and even beyong; unchanging even today, now,.... very real now; unchanging even unto tomorrow, unchanging....... what He is, He will always be. Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Raffa, Jehovah.... the God of 'I am who I am'.

1 Sam 15:29 - And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor relent. For He is not a man that He should relent.

For He is a person! Learn to cultivate the Lord's presence in our everyday life. Like David in the wilderness, he talks with his Jehovah, he sings to his Jehovah.

Choose life....

Deuteronomy 30:19-20 - .... that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendents may live; that you may love the Lord your God, and that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life, and the length of your days;.....

Jesus said, 'I am the resurrection and the life.'

And God's presence gives rest.

Exodus 33:14 - And He said, "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."

Jesus said. 'Come unto me and I will rest you.'

Cultivate His presence daily, and there will be neither adversary nor evil occurence.

Sympathetic or pathetic

I had seen the old lady (perhaps in her late 60s) many times. She sells tissue papers, moving from tables to tables in the various coffee shops in this neighbourhood. The bag she carries with her have some crudely written words.... asthmatic, supporting self. Occasionally, I give her a dollar. I suppose is because of admiration for someone who despite her age, still works for her living.

But, I was somewhat taken aback, when I saw her pick up the leftovers from some of the dinner plates on tables vacated, and stuff them into pastic bags that she took out from her bag. It's more despairing than I thought. I suppose poverty is still very real in Singapore.

There's also that young man, whose's limps and form could hardly support his movements, and even speech. All he could do is to sit on a mat and sells tissue papers to passers-by. Despite his handicap, he still strives to make the effort to earn a living.

The guy outside the NTUC supermarket plays a stringed chinese instrument, I think it's the yue-chin. Not exactly good music, but it's still a tune. He even tried Jiggle Bells with it. The metal tin in front of him says "Thanks for your reward".

I remember also seeing a blind Indian lady, who busks occasionally near the MRT station. Nice music, good voice.

I suppose all these are people erking out a living in their own ways. My sympathies, but honestly, how much, how many can I help?

But on the other hand, there's that middle-aged indian man who sits near the escalator leading to the MRT station. The harmonical in his hands monotonously emits 2 or 3 notes,... not even a tune. Or occasionally, there's this young man (seen him many times in the neighbourhood), able bodied, who come round and asks politely if he could have $2 or $3 for meals. Said he'd out of job for some time. But I suppose his hollow eyes tells a different story.....

These are,..... pathetic.

Firstfruits.....

The links and ties from the old work place still remains.

A few of the guys from the user's department were in the neighbourhood this morning, so we arranged to meet up over morning coffee. Kinda last minute arrangements, but no problem with that. Other collegues from my department SMSed to ask if I would like to join them for lunch at the clubhouse. Well, it's Friday and everyone's more relaxed for the coming weekend. It was afterall, a relatively short week, but there's going to be much catch up, especially hearing about the changes in some areas as well as 1 or 2 more resignations in the department. But it's a rather rushed schedule, so I gave that a pass. Have to do some practice with the brush this afternoon.

***

Bible study, Pastor taught again.... but virtually, lolz.... the recording of yesterday's study. Well, wouldn't really complain as it made no difference to us seated at the 6th floor auditorium.

The word for year 2007 - this would be a year of new beginnings. No trials this year will take our God for surprise, and He has gone on ahead of us.

It is also the final lesson on Secrets in the Hebrew words, and today's on Wealth and keys to Prosperity.

Deuteronomy 18:4 - The firstfruits of your grain and your new wine and your oil, and the first first of the fleece of your sheep, you shall give him.

Roman 11:16 - For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

Christ is the measure of our health, wealth, prosperity etc..... how we see Christ is how we measure our well-being. And, our trust is on the one, who is a certain source of provision - Jesus.

Hebrew 7:8 - Here mortal men receive them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives.

And interestingly, Paster also touched on the first verse in the old testament, "In the beginning...." - barashiyt (בראשית), and I had came across this word just a couple of days ago.

בראשית - in the beginning
בר - bar (son)
אש - ashi (head)
ית - yt (hand/power of the cross)

ראשית - firstfruit

מעשר - tithe
עשר - wealth
ע - eye, ש - Shaddai, ר - leader : when your eyes see God as the leader.

Money - literally translated as "silver blood" - the blood of Jesus is currency of heaven. Learn to plead the blood of Jesus for everything we ask. Our sins are forgiven because of Christ is crucified on the cross. The blood which Jesus had shed, purchased for us all our blessings.

One thing that Pastor always does, is that on all subjects, he will always point us back to Jesus. So, even on the study of wealth and prosperity, Jesus is still revealed clearly to us. I really thank God for the teacher that Pastor is. Jesus is always glorified in his messages. And our faith is made stronger and stronger by his teaching!

WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE IN ME

Let the weak say I am strong,
Let the poor say I am rich,
Let the blind say I can see,
It's what the Lord has done in me.

Let the weak say I am strong,
Let the poor say I am rich,
Let the blind say I can see,
It's what the Lord has done in me.

Hosanna, hosanna,
To the Lamb that was slain!
Hosanna, hosanna,
Jesus died and rose again!

Into the river I will wade,
There my sins are washed away,
From the heaven's mercy stream,
Of the Savior's love for me.

I will rise from waters deep,
Into the saving arms of God!
I will sing salvation songs,
Jesus Christ has set me free!

~ Reuben Morgan/Hillsong Music Australia.

Give me again,... the lad that's gone.

It's a rare treat! The Swedish Ship Gotheborg is in port this week. Rare, because she has been built according to traditional methods. Not only that, but that the same raw materials were used. The original ship was built in the 18th century (1738) for trade between Sweden's Stockholm and China. She sank outside her home port in 1745, on her return from China, with a load of cargo.

The beauty of tall ships had always captured my imagination. So I definitely don't want to let this opportunity of going onboard pass by.

The ship is berthed alongside Vivocity and the crew were still busy onboard. The ropes and sails have to be tended to, and it was definitely no easy task.... very little mechanical aids. Looking at the crew tending to the ropes on deck brings to mind a old folk song we sang in school years ago.....

Over the Sea to Skye

Sing me a song of a lad that is gone,
Say, could that lad be I?
Merry of soul, he sailed on a day,
Over the sea to Skye.

Mull was astern, rum was on port,
Eigg on the starboard bow;
Glory of youth glowed in his soul,
Where is that glory now?

Give me again all that was there,
Give me the sun that shone;
Give me the eyes, give me the soul,
Give me the lad that's gone.

Billow and breeze, islands and seas,
Mountains of rain and sun;
All that was good, all that was fair,
All that was me is gone.

Give me again all that was there,
Give me the sun that shone;
Give me the eyes, give me the soul,
Give me the lad that's gone.

~ Robert Louis Stevenson

well, the lyrics still rings in my ears and stirs up my imaginations..... give me again, all that was there.... give me the lad that's gone.

Coincidentals

Happened to run into 3 friends separately, while on the way to calligraphy class this evening. Strange, such co-incident! Heard that is a bad start for my old department. They are expecting at least 3 resignations this January. This is almost 10% of the staff! Sad.......

The practice sesssion was interesting. And of course, most of us did our own practice during the week. Don't you think it looks like a proper piece of Chinese Calligraphy? (lolz... Juliana, this picture is all the practice pieces put together, specially for you!)

Well, to be honest, it is very very far from a proper one. It is only after actually learning how to write the characters that we come to be conscious and aware of what and how the correct strokes are made. And the errors become very evident to us. Yes, I would definitely need many more months of practice. Hope I can sustain the interest and patience in this new interest.

Oh,.... it really 'poured' again by the time the class is over. Another 'cold' night...... sigh~

The rat's race.....

Woke to a beautiful morning. The rains had ceased although there were still the light showers yesterday afternoon. It would be a good day for my morning jog. It's almost 3 weeks since I last went on the route, so I took it easy. Along the way, said 'hi' two of the neighborhood aunties and also the few familiar faces along the jogging track. The old uncle was walking very steadily today. Had been seeing him exercising regularly since 3 yrs ago. Looks like a stroke had left his right side feeble, but he is improving very well. The group of cyclers was there also, in full force, this morning.

Everyone's relaxed today.

In contrast, an article in today's newspaper, on the front page, mentioned about how some Singaporeans are lamenting about having no time to take their leave. And, even when they are on holidays, they are still working through it. Many even forteited their leave days. Why? Deadlines, heavy workload, no one to cover you when you are away.... all these are just examples of the reasons people gave. This is the kind of stress faced by many in surviving today's rat race.

Sad, isn't it?

For me, a grateful thought. I was familiar with all that. Myself, I had on a number of occasions, forfeited a few days of my leave. Well, not that I am now, out of the rat's race, but, I am glad that at least, I am not caught up in it. And, an even more grateful thought, is that I have a loving and caring God who watches over me. I know I can rest in Him.

The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. - Deuteronomy 33:27

I think, I am, of all people, most blessed!

Great beginnings
