Bring it on CNY 09

At the very end of each year and the start of the next, i make it a point to do three things.

I evaluate my Past Year. Set New Year resolutions . And Pray for the things i hope for in the year ahead.

I didnt manage to do any of those this year because i this past whole month has been a whirlwind. Since arriving back from Japan, I've met up with friends, started a new job, fell sick, celebrated CNY ...January has been sooo busy it feels as though 3 months have gone by.


Luckily for me, according to the Chinese Calender, this week marks the start of the New Year.But i have come to realise that no matter how merticulously you plan out your life, somehow or another, life always has something unexpected in store for you. So this year, i wont be drawing up my long list of what i hope for and which direction i should take. Instead, i'll leave it to God and his perfect plan for me.

I'm excited to see what this year has in store for my life. So in the Spirit of Chinese New Year, i say......Huat ahhhh! Bring it on '09 :D

Rick Warren Interview

A friend sent me this email and i believe there is so much truth in it:

This is an interview with Rick Warren, author of the best seller, The Purpose Driven Life:

People ask me, What is the purpose of life? And I respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven. One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body-- but not the end of me.

I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act - the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity. We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense.

Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one. The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort; God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.

We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness.

This past year has been the greatest year of my life but also the toughest, with my wife, Kay, getting cancer. I used to think that life was hills and valleys - you go through a dark time, then you go to the mountaintop, back and forth. I don't believe that anymore.

Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that it's kind of like two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have something good and something bad in your life.

No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on. And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for..

You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems: If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, which is my problem, my issues, my pain.' But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others.

We discovered quickly that in spite of the prayers of hundreds of thousands of people, God was not going to heal Kay or make it easy for her- It has been very difficult for her, and yet God has strengthened her character, given her a ministry of helping other people, given her a testimony, drawn her closer to Him and to people.

You have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad of life.

Actually, sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder. For instance, this past year, all of a sudden, when the book sold 15 million copies, it made me instantly very wealthy.

It also brought a lot of notoriety that I had never had to deal with before. I don't think God gives you money or notoriety for your own ego or for you to live a life of ease..

So I began to ask God what He wanted me to do with this money, notoriety and influence. He gave me two different passages that helped me decide what to do, II Corinthians 9 and Psalm 72.
First, in spite of all the money coming in, we would not change our lifestyle one bit.. We made no major purchases.

Second, about midway through last year, I stopped taking a salary from the church.

Third, we set up foundations to fund an initiative we call The Peace Plan to plant churches, equip leaders, assist the poor, care for the sick, and educate the next generation.

Fourth, I added up all that the church had paid me in the 24 years since I started the church, and I gave it all back. It was liberating to be able to serve God for free.

We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity? Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism? Or am I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my life)?

When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, God, if I don't get anything else done today, I want to know You more and love You better. God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do.

That's why we're called human beings, not human doings.

Happy moments, PRAISE GOD.

Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.

Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD.

Painful moments, TRUST GOD.

Every moment, THANK GOD.

Cosmo Aussie

I've started my internship at Marriott Hotel for a week now and time has been crawling by very very slowly. July seems donkey years away.

To keep sane, i snuggle into bed and sneak in a few mins to read pages of my new guilty pleasure every day- Introducing COSMOPOLITAN AUSTRALIA. I pace my reading so that i wont overload myself with infomation and hopefully the issue will last me a month till i get my next lol...What i really like about Cosmo Aussie is that its filllllleddddd with smart and very relatable articles. Don't you just hate it when you have to flip through like 20 pages of advertisements before you finallly see the content page? Singapore magazines, Less advertisements and more fun stuff please! Cosmo Aussie has less styling and fashion spreads but makes up for it with funky reads such as "What he thinks of your Orgasm Face" and "The Psycology of your Stuff" and more.

But my favourite article from the whole issue ( its so harddddddd to choose) is a cliched one titled: A Mixed Bag Of Genius Life Advice.

This article is filled with inspiring quotes about Life, Sex, Men, Family, Friends, Safety and Career. Yes, yes , i may be on the more neurotic end of the spectrum where i constantly need to look at quotes to pin my life in a more positive direction but hey, whatever works for you right?

Here are some of my favourite quotes from the article:

1) Complaining is just a waste of time unless its followed up by a search for a solution, and then by action

2) Most of the people who make the most valuable contributions to the welfare of the world don't care about fashion , celebrities or weight ( OK they're talking Mother Theresa lingo here, not Karl Lagerfield )

3) In the long run, you probably wont regret spending a large chunk of your savings on a fantastic overseas trip. As long as you can afford to survive when you get back, do it.

4) Don't expect your life to miraculously change when you have a boyfriend, lose weight, earn more money , move to another country...etc( i always have a problem with this)

5) Don't underestimate the importance of a good pair of shoes, a nice haircut and a decent bag .( double thumbs up!)

6) Being scared of losing someone you love wont prepare you for it. If it happens, it'll hurt either way

7) Each time you fake your orgasm, you are reducing the chances of getting it right the next time.

im heading off to sleep now. God knows i need rest since waking up at 630 am is not exactly a very pleasant task.

XOXO


Today i re-made my new year resolutions

lifehouse- take me away

There's a song for every season.

Lifehouse- Take Me Away

This time all I want is you

There is no one else

Who can take your place

This time you burned me with your eyes

You see past all the lies

You take it all away

I've seen it all

And it's never enough

It keeps leaving me needing you

Take me away

Take me away

I've got nothing left to say

Just take me away
