past few days of recollections

2009-07-11T22:23:00.006+08:00

4 july sat

went to nuh pharmancy as usual for my medicine run to get med for mom..

visited ah ma at ward, had to wear mask in case of H1N1 and met da gu gu with her son..

he's gg cambridge ( scholar ) - da gu gu told me they're not discharging ah ma , dr just giving her jabs of morphine to ease the pain..

5 july sun

went to church, and in the evening

went with mom to NUH to visit my ah ma.. spotted a few cute gals doing ward duty along the way ( distracted ops ;p )

when i came i tried to talk to ah ma but she was sedated.. like mar bo.. tried telling her i'm here and my mom is here to see her.. abt 7pmish and raining outside.. she looked so frail and weak, head tilted to the side and gasping for breathe...

I tried to sing some songs in hokkien the best i could and she frowned.. followed by her suddenly opening her eyes like violently and lifting her hands..

perhaps she is asking me to stop singing.. or she realised that i came after not visiting her for so long and she wanted to look at me.. i dunno.. i guess only God knows..

after a while she slumped back to bed and i told her that i would visit her tmr again...

6 july mon

feeling too tired from work and decided to take break and rest at home..

got a phone call at 2am in the nite which i missed and sms frm boon keat tt my grandma has passed away..

7 july tues

took half day leave and went down to boon lay for the funeral..

a bit very muo sheng with all the relatives cos i havent seen them for so long..

i guess it's in my nature and my mom's nature to keep to ourselves and stay away from big family gatherings.. even my mom's side we dun have much gatherings..

tot i saw a familiar face... one cousin of mine whom i remembered as a big eyed cute baby who likes to eat hum since she was 5 ?there was this one time when we went to the warehouse for one of our gatherings, and this little gal was putting her hand into the big pot of cooked boiled cockles, ah ma thought that she was playing with it, but actually she wanted to eat it, i think i opened a few for her too

I was amazed tt she didnt hate the bloodly smell of the cockles..

sad to say, i guess that was one of the last few times i saw her :)

interestingly enough,

when i talked to her, we realised one food we could not forget was Ah ma's

"kiam hum" which was - chilled cooked cockles soaked in soy sauce- her famous pickled cockles which she would eat with porridge :)

perhaps i should attempt to make one glass jar of it someday :)

also saw the babies of that time.. all grown up!! some are even taller than me!

hong xiang looks like jackie chan now :D and hui qi become a mei nu already.. i only remembered her curly hair and that her mom always bring her and hong xiang to go swimming ;)

yu jun yu xin and wen jun.. wow wen jun turned from the botak head baby to the skinny fellow :)

my siblings didnt change much.. but i guess it's been so long since we last spoken to each other that it's hard to build the bridges to communicate again..

there's also some cute kids whom are not born when i was there.. all these remind me of the memories of me working at the shop at BL shopping center.. .:)

headed back to work after the ceremony of sealing ah ma's coffin..

and went in the night.

saw merrian from church- found out that she's working for my xiao gu gu company.. small world..

dunlin, shu hui and ziyang and yu chun and fiona came.. dayang came after work...

liang fu uncle n wife and zheng nan uncle and wife also came.. thanks for the support..

8 july wed

fill in later :)

9 july thurs

fill in later :)

stayed up the whole night burning joss paper for ah ma.. talked to yu xin ( for the 1st time since tuesday) - it all began with the qn from her.. am i tat kor kor that played with her when she was young? quite shocked and yet surprised that she still remembers me ;)

it's comforting to know that i did leave a good impression on some of my extended family members :)

we talked a bit abt the old days.. cant imagine when i was 16 and playing with her and stuff..

still see her as a 5 yr old big eyed gal whenever i talk to her.. haha.. maybe treating her this way also ( if u reading this huh, sorry but u'll always be the small little gal in my eyes lol )

we stayed up the whole night and basically tried to make up for lost time by catching up with each other about our lives ;)

nice to know that a 27 yr old old man can communicate with a 16 yr old young gal huh.. :)

maybe she's too nice to tell me abt the generation gap we have =x

anyways there's also a cute little gal named jia xuan, my tang ge's daughter - really hilarious and she just talks and acts like a xiao da ren :) maybe influenced by too much tv dramas and scv she watches .. good or bad? hmmm

overall i think i've been quite dao to the rest of the family.. didnt smile or wat. just showed a poker dao face.. nxt time must smile more :P

stayed up all the way till 7am - didnt sleep a wink.. and went home the nxt day to concuss..

10 july fri

late for rituals! =x concussed till 1pm and got woken up by woo xin's sms :)

we went to mandai for the cremation and everyone is crying so much and i can feel the great sense of loss- of losing their loved ones..

maybe cos ah ma didnt bring me up or wat.. i didnt have a very strong sense of bonding or loss..

could be also that i didnt keep in touch with them for maybe years ( abt 7-8 yrs? )

perhaps that's why i didn't cry a lot or wat..

forget to ask jin long for his contacts, also hong xiang and hui qi.. i got yu xin's contact and added my siblings to facebook.. hopefully can keep in touch with them from there.. :)

it's a bit awkward and weird but somehow i have to take the initiative :)

11 july sat

went to collect ah ma's ashes at mandai..

need to go 4 shu's hse tmr morning.. means i'll miss church service..

but will go church from their house there, quite convenient got 67 direct from teck whye lrt there.. :)

12 july sun

830am-11am church

1130-1230pm sunday school pri 4 kids

1-3pm choir

4-730pm go KYMC for choir training :)

Father's Day-21st June

2009-06-21T23:10:00.002+08:00

Today is Father's day on 21st June.

Any recollections today? Maybe too tired to think..

or maybe i dun have any idea also..

Today's Sermon also talked abt being a father.

Not only Fathers have a role to earn $ and support their children but also a role in teaching the children too..

I will strive to be that kind of Father who teaches his children to depend on God and not his own ability and experiences..

must look back 20 yrs later to see if this holds true and also remind myself heh.. :)

2009-06-16T13:26:00.002+08:00

german is quite hard to learn... cant imagine myself learning and singing..

had practise ytd at TWPC learning beethoven No 9 in D minor and Mahler No 2.

guess wat's this means :

aow fer steell ya aow fer steell virst do mime stobp mark koo tscher raeooh oun ster leash le bum

decided to take a break

- to reenergise myself

end times?

2009-06-14T20:00:00.003+08:00

Hot weather,

H1N1,

Aliens attacking Singapore,

ok third one is more imaginary than real ,

but are these a sign of more natural and man made disasters to come?

some call it climate change, some say the END is near..

what's your view? what does the Bible say about end times?

Linking all the current developements of the world with what God says in His written word..

We can't help but see the similiarities in the Bible..

lazy to read the bible, so i googled instead for the info..

not sure about the accuracy of the source though..

hmmm too heavy topic for my non-scholarly mind..

eyelids getting heavy here.. zzzz

new post for 2009

2009-06-14T19:47:00.002+08:00

finally writing something for 2009..

it's only a few hours to the middle of the month of the middle of the year 15th of June ..

looking back, time seems to be that super fit runner that runs past u in IPPT and eventually laps you by at least 2 or 3 rounds on the 400 meters track before getting that Gold timing .. in other words... time really told me who's the boss in this race..

maybe my brain is not registering major events in my life anymore, more of the mundane -

work work work,

slack at lunch ,

work ,

try to slack at work,

knock off,

squeeze time to online, shower dinner,

talk to mom,

attempt to hang out by myself,

attempt to do that jogging routine that i've been procrastinating,

try to do that quiet time that i have always been putting off..

guess when u view working life as a chore and not something u look forward to,

u fill ur mind with more dread than u could actually realise.

and this dread and "sian-ness" can really block out whatever msgs or things or lessons that God wants you to learn or listen to Him..

on friends, with so many definitions out there..

my own conclusions is htat friends are always lurking and around,

it's only that i guess my peers all have their little phases in life that they need to work on and move on to..

we're all in different "micro-stages" i guess... some married and have kids.. some of them getting all busy and excited with their new borns ,

some with years of exp in work ( so a few more yrs and i'll ease into tt phase too i guess )

am i feeling lost? nope

am i feeling empty? not really..

just need to quiet down my heart, block out all the excess "noise" of the world and

be still in God.. to surrender and let go.. acknowledge that we're weak and feeble and we are in need of His Grace.. Let go of my own thoughts and desires..

Lean to Him and hear what He says.. sometimes it's hard.. its really hard? :x

surrender the outcome and entrust the cares of the world to God..

- Be still, and know that I am God

Who Can Forgive?

The Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins. - MATTHEW 9:6

Perhaps one of the most significant ways in which Jesus is unlike anyone else who has ever lived is that He has the ability to forgive sins. I am sure you will know the words of the famous

hymn that refers to the forgiveness offered by Christ: He breaks the power of cancelled sin, He sets the prisoner free.

I know of no one else who can do that. Some psychoanalysts try to rid the soul of guilt, but though they may be successful with pseudo-guilt (guilt that is imagined rather than real), they are powerless to deal with the stain of sin that is deeply ingrained in every human soul.

The secular therapist will examine the stuff of your dreams, invite you to answer a series of harmless questions, and then drag out from your forgotten past the source of all your trouble - some past transgression or sin. But even the most highly trained team of psychoanalysts cannot forgive. They may expose an old wound, but they cannot heal it. They may show you that your trouble is an ancient sin, but they cannot cleanse it from the system. And that is what our sick souls need most of all - forgiveness.

A man I talked to the other day said he went to a professional counselor, a non-Christian, who found the root of his trouble - an old and wicked sin. "Now," said the man, "tell me the cure.""Just forgive yourself," said the analyst. Forgive yourself? It's a lot easier to do that when you know that you yourself have been forgiven.

Daily Prayer

Lord Jesus, not only have You forgiven me, but You keep on forgiving me. Help me realize, however, that though Your forgiveness is free, it is not cheap. For You had to die in order to bring me forgiveness. Help me never forget that. Amen.

Tim Hughes - Everything= nice song :)

Potatoes: Food for Our Thought

2009-01-02T15:49:00.000+08:00

Potatoes: Food for Our Thought

A kindergarten teacher has decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag
containing a few potatoes. Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child hates, so the number of potatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she hates.

So when the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name of the people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes; some 3 while some up to 5 potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry with them the potatoes in the plastic bag wherever they go (even to the toilet) for 1 week.

Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain due to the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten potatoes. Besides, those having 5 potatoes also had to carry heavier bags. After 1 week, the children were relieved because the game had finally ended.

The teacher asked: "How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you for 1 week?" The children let out their frustrations and started complaining of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they go.
Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. The teacher said: "This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred for somebody inside your heart. The stench of hatred will contaminate your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is it like to have the stench of hatred in your heart for your lifetime???"

Moral of the story:
Throw away any hatred for anyone from your heart so that you will not carry sins for a lifetime. Forgiving others is the best
attitude to take! Love others even if you don't like them...

The List

2009-01-02T15:11:00.000+08:00

The List

One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.

Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down. It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers.

That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual.

On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. "Really?" she heard whispered. "I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!" and, "I didn't know others liked me so much," were most of the comments.

No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another. That group of students moved on.

Several years later, one of the students was killed in Vietnam and his teacher attended the funeral of that special student. She had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. He looked so handsome, so mature.

The church was packed with his friends. One by one those who loved him took a last walk by the coffin. The teacher was the last one. As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted as pallbearer came up to her. "Were you Mark's maths teacher?" he asked. She nodded: "Yes." Then he said: "Mark talked about you a lot."

After the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates went together to a luncheon. Mark's mother and father were there, obviously waiting to speak with his teacher.

"We want to show you something," his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket. "They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognise it."

Opening the wallet, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. The teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him.

“Thank you so much for doing that," Mark's mother said. "As you can see, Mark treasured it."

All of Mark's former classmates started to gather around. Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, "I still have my list. It's in the top drawer of my desk at home."

Chuck's wife said, "Chuck asked me to put his in our wedding album."

"I have mine too," Marilyn said. "It's in my diary." Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her wallet and showed her worn and frazzled list to the group. "I carry this with me at all times," Vicki said and without batting an eyelash, she continued: "I think we all saved our lists."

That's when the teacher finally sat down and cried. She cried for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him again.

The density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life will end one day. And we don't know when that one day will be. So treat each day like it will be THAT day.

The Primary Focus

In the beginning God. - GENESIS 1:1

We focus on what is without doubt the most noble and loftiest of themes: the nature and character of God. I have noticed that Christians, generally speaking, seem to be preoccupied with knowing more about themselves rather than knowing more about God. Ask any Christian bookshop manager: "What are the best-selling books?" Not those that unfold for us the nature of God, but those that direct us toward such things as how to get a better self-image, how to manage money, how to find inner healing, how to get more excitement out of life, and so on.

Not that these subjects are unimportant, but they are explored in a self-absorbed way that gives the idea that the most important thing in life is knowing ourselves better. It isn't. The most important thing in life is knowing God better.

John Lancaster, a minister in Cardiff, South Wales, in an article entitled "Where on Earth Is God?" asks the question: "Given a choice between attending a seminar, say, on the 'Glory of God in Isaiah' and one on 'The Christian and Sex,' to which would you go?"

He makes the point also that although the church often answers the questions that people are asking, the real problem may be that people are not asking the right questions. In today's church we are far too mancentered and not God-centered.

It is not by accident, I believe, that the Bible opens with the thunderous acclaim: "In the beginning God." I tell you with all the conviction of which I am capable: if God is not our primary focus, then everything else will soon get out of focus.

Daily Prayer

O Father, from this day help me determine to make You my primary focus. And give me the grace and strength to maintain it, through all the vicissitudes and uncertainties of the days ahead. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

How To Study For Final Exams

2008-12-30T14:33:00.001+08:00

Before I talk about how to spread your study time out over the exam period, I'll give you a rough guide for how much time you can be spending in study. This is the study guide that I use, and have used since 1A when I made it up. It allows for 12 hours of study per day, with 5 hours of ``break time'' for meals and rests, and 7 hours of sleep (rows marked with an asterix indicate ``study periods''):

7:00-8:00      Wake up              (1 hour: shower, eat, psych up, etc...)

8:00-9:30      Study                (1.5 hours) *

9:30-10:00     BREAK                (0.5 hours)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

10:00-Noon     Study                (2 hours)   *

Noon-12:30     BREAK                (0.5 hours)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

12:30-2:30     Study                (2 hours)   *

2:30-3:00      BREAK                (0.5 hours)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

3:00-5:00      Study                (2 hours)   *

5:00-6:00      DINNER & BREAK       (1 hour)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

6:00-7:30      Study                (1.5 hours) *

7:30-8:00      BREAK                (0.5 hours)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

8:00-9:30      Study                (1.5 hours) *

9:30-10:00     BREAK                (0.5 hours)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

10:00-11:30    Study                (1.5 hours) *

11:30-12:00    BREAK                (0.5 hours)

12:00          Go to bed.

(I use the 11:30 to 12:00AM time slot for personal reflection. You may want to use it for sleep. That gives you 7.5 hours of sleep instead of 7.)

So, you can see that this suggested schedule gives you at most 2 hours of study time at a stretch, an hour for breakfast, a half hour for lunch, and an hour for dinner. I have arranged the times to flow easily around meal times and the times of the day when I am most ``out of it'' (note the weaker Evening schedule -- digesting your dinner takes more energy than other meals, usually, and I personally tend to be less concentrative at that time). You may want to re-arrange it to fit your own personal life schedule. I know some people like to study for 50 minutes and then take a 10 minute break, instead of doing big 1.5 or 2 hour stretches. Play around with it. But, you see just how much study time you can get out of the day, without more than the usual strain. It takes just over 11 days to make 140 hours.

Do It Yourself

You have not glorified the God who holds your life-breath in His hand and who controls the whole course of your life. - DANIEL 5:23

Most Christians do not pant after God in the way the psalmist described in Psalm 42:1. Now I must attempt to make clear what I mean.

First, let me pull into focus the major problem with which we all struggle as soon as we are born. When God created us in the beginning, He designed us to have a relationship with Him. This means that deep within our being is a thirst for God which will not go away. It can be ignored, disguised, misunderstood, wrongly labeled, or submerged underneath a wealth of activity, but it will not disappear. And for good reason. We were designed to enjoy something better than this world can give us, particularly in the sphere of relationships. No human relationship can satisfy in the way that a relationship with God does.

This deep thirst for God that resides within us makes us dependent on God for satisfaction, and that is something our sinful human nature deeply resents. You see, due to Adam and Eve's sin in the garden of Eden, we have all been left a legacy called "Do It Yourself."

There is something within every single one of us that wants to take charge and have a hand in bringing about our own salvation. So here is the problem: facing the fact realistically that we inwardly thirst after God puts us in touch with a level of helplessness from which our sinful human nature shrinks. It reinforces the conviction that we are dependent on someone outside of ourselves for satisfaction. And that is something we don't care to acknowledge.

Daily Prayer

O Father, I recognize this elemental drive in my nature which causes me to resist standing in utter helplessness before You. But I sense that there can be no breakthrough in my life until I face this issue and deal with it. Help me, Father. In Jesus’name. Amen.

2008-12-06T17:34:00.002+08:00

Truth in a Nutshell

On the day I called, You answered me; You increased strength within me. - PSALM 138:3

What are the benefits of keeping our gaze continually focused on God? I can think of at least three.

First, the more we study Him, the more we will want to become like Him. The most natural thing in the world, when there is a good relationship between parents and their children, is for that child to want to become like them. That is the way it is also with God our Father. The more we discover of His love, His holiness, His purity, His trustworthiness, His strength, His patience, the more we want to emulate Him.

Second, the more we study God, the better we will know ourselves. When Isaiah stepped into the Temple and had a vision of God, he also saw the truth about himself. Things that were hidden deep within him came to light in the presence of the Eternal.

Third, the more we study Him, the clearer will be our perspective on the world. When you see that God is in charge, then you won't panic every time you open the newspaper. You can only know God, of course, through Christ, and because You have Him, instead of saying, "Look what the world has come to," you will be able to say, "Look what has come to the world." The people who know their God will firmly resist the Adversary, says Daniel. He writes, "The people who know their God will be strong and take action" (Dn 11:32). I can do no more than to say - there you have it in a nutshell. The more you know God, the stronger you will be.

Daily Prayer

My Father and my God, now I set my course for the wide seas. With Your truth as my compass and Your Word as my chart, I set sail on this great adventure to know You better. I can count on You, but can I count on me? With Christ's help I can. Amen.

> > >
> > 睡前沒喝多少水，早上起來眼皮還是腫得厲害？你可能體液失調了！造成水分代謝失調的原因很多，如果伴隨感到下肢無力、口乾舌燥，可能是你的腎出問題。健康的腎能將體內多餘水分順利排出，水分不足時，他會放慢代謝速度，把水分囤積在體內，因而造成輕度浮腫。別著急，喝上幾大杯水，很快能還你一雙電眼！

> > >
> > >
> > 少吃油炸食品及動物內臟，多吃新鮮蔬果，惱人小顆粒很快就會不見！
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎紅血絲
> > >
> > 血絲滿佈的「火眼金睛」，就是血液循環不暢的警訊。別忙著滴眼藥水，活動一下頭、頸、肩部，疏通上肢血流，再好好睡一覺，讓眼睛充分休息，就能減少充血。
> > >
> > >
> > 如果工作很忙，沒時間休息，不妨在後頸、肩部塗一些維生素Ｃ乳液，幫助血液循環，很快就能緩解紅眼現象。
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎針眼
> > >
> > 別小看長針眼，日本醫學專家發現，長針眼代表你的免疫力正在衰退，細菌容易從睫毛根部進入眼中，引起發炎。如果反覆長針眼，最好去醫院做一次全面健康檢查。

> > >
> > 常喝補中益氣湯，提高自身免疫力，才能和針眼徹底「分手」。
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎眼白泛黃
> > >
> > 可能是肝、膽出了問題。膽汁是黃綠色液體，當膽囊或肝臟失調時，膽汁會流進血液，讓眼白泛黃。

> > > 嘴巴告訴你的六個密碼
> > >
> > > ◎唇色發白
> > >
> > 嘴唇和下眼瞼一樣，都是薄薄的，才能完全反映血色，如果唇色變淺，可能是血紅細胞不足。
> > >
> > >
> > 建議改變食譜，多吃動物內臟和豆腐，從而減輕貧血症狀。
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎唇色過紅
> > >
> > 如果雙唇過於鮮紅，別自鳴得意，可能你正被「熱症」困擾。中醫將熱症分為「實熱」和「虛熱」，「虛熱」是體內水分減少所引起。當體溫上升，身體調節功能減弱，兩頰和唇、舌才會局部變紅。
> > >
> > >
> > 多吃新鮮水果、喝大量的水，能幫你化解體內過剩熱量，讓唇色恢復正常。
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎嘴角破裂
> > >
> > 感覺嘴角刺痛，甚至紅腫破裂，很可能是早期胃炎的預警。當胃壁黏膜處於疲勞狀態，會引發內熱，導致嘴角紅腫。不過，80％的早期胃炎都能被治癒。
> > >
> > >
> > 建議吃飯時多咀嚼幾下，充分吸收和消化食物。胃壁溫度降低後，嘴角紅腫很快就會消失。
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎嘴唇乾澀
> > >
> > 嘴唇雖是黏膜，但與皮膚最大的不同是沒有汗腺。嘴唇無法分泌油脂、保存水分，需要口腔黏液滋潤，黏液不足時，嘴唇容易變乾，抵抗力隨之減弱，細菌、病毒正好趁虛而入。
> > >
> > >
> > 除了多喝水，也建議多用淡鹽水漱口，鹽分是促進口腔黏液生成的一大動力。
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎口氣不佳
> > >
> > 對著鏡子大呼一口氣，如果聞到「口氣不佳」，可要注意了－－六成以上「口氣」由牙齒疾病引起。當細菌侵入牙根與牙齦間的縫隙，繁殖後將引發牙齦炎，生出難聞的口氣。
> > >
> > >
> > 此外，口腔清潔不徹底，食物殘渣形成的齒垢，也會讓你呼出難聞氣味，徹底洗一次牙才能解決問題。
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎流口水
> > >
> > 早晨醒來後，總發現枕邊淌著一圈口水？流口水是唾液分泌過多引起，可能是胃腸功能虛弱，無法充分吸收水分，造成水分滯留，唾液被稀釋，才流到嘴邊。
> > >
> > >
> > 如果你還感到腸鳴、胃鳴，最好去腸胃科掛個號先。
> > >
> > >
> > > 舌頭告訴你的六個密碼
> > >
> > > ◎舌頭振顫
> > >
> > 對著鏡子吐舌頭，如果舌頭微微顫動，很可能是精神緊張、體力衰退的徵兆。醫學調查發現，七成以上的人都意識不到舌頭振顫。建議盡快調整作息，不要熬夜，否則當心神經衰弱！
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎舌頭發紫
> > >
> > 當血液中含有大量廢物、體內水分不足時，缺氧血和含氧血就會混在一起，使得血管變成紫色。如果還伴隨肩膀僵硬和腰痛，這說明體內毒素已經積累太多，不妨維持一周清淡飲食，做個蒸汽浴，毒素很快就能排出。
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎舌苔太厚
> > >
> > 舌頭上的舌苔就像豆腐渣一樣很容易刮去，可能是腸胃功能不良或飲食過量。
> > >
> > >
> > 如果情況持續，最好去腸胃科，讓醫生幫你降降胃火。
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎舌苔太薄
> > >
> > 舌苔不明不白脫落，舌頭表面斑駁不均，醫學上將這稱為「地圖舌」。過敏體質的人容易發生，春、秋兩季比較常見，他預示你的抵抗力正在下降，建議這段時間內遠離花粉、海鮮等過敏原，以免中招。
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎舌苔泛黃
> > >
> > 舌苔泛黃很可能是感冒信號！注意保暖，多吃南瓜、牛肉等溫熱食物，晚上臨睡前沖杯熱牛奶，他能在胃中形成一層蛋白膜，防止細菌入侵。
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎舌苔泛黑
> > >
> > 這很可能是體溫升高了，但不見得就是發燒，劇烈運動、怒火中燒都能讓舌苔泛黑。
> > >
> > >
> > 洗個熱水澡，做些舒緩運動，就能有效降低體溫。
> > >
> > >
> > >
> > > 鼻子告訴你的六個密碼
> > >
> > > ◎鼻子大小
> > >
> > 鼻子大小與呼吸狀況大有關係。鼻翼較寬、鼻樑高挺，說明你的呼吸器官發達，能呼吸到足量空氣；但在污染嚴重的地方，你也會吸入過多廢棄。如果鼻翼嬌小，表明你的呼吸功能較弱，不透風的地方會讓你氣短、胸悶。
> > >
> > >
> > 在辦公室待一到兩小時，就應該去樓梯間或窗邊呼吸五分鐘新鮮空氣，以防缺氧。
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎鼻翼掀動
> > >
> > 正常呼吸時鼻翼掀動，可能是肺活量太低造成的！可別掉以輕心，肺活量過低將影響你的正常代謝功能。每天練習五分鐘腹式呼吸－－吸氣時漲起肚皮，呼氣時縮緊肚皮，很快你的肺活量就能提高不少！
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎鼻尖粉刺
> > >
> > 鼻頭出現粉刺，多半是消化系統出了問題。多吃香蕉、地瓜之類的食品，保持消化通暢，就能緩解症狀。
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎鼻頭發紅
> > >
> > 這可能代表肝臟超載了。飲酒過量時，身體為了分解酒精，把血液滯留在肝臟裡，導致微血管擴張，才會出現「酒糟鼻」，因此控制飲酒量非常重要。
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎有時流鼻血
> > >
> > 腸胃衰弱的人無法吸收充足營養，肌肉和血管組織稍微碰撞就容易破裂。冬天能量消耗大，飲食不調，體內熱量不足，就會導致偶爾流鼻血。不妨好好吃一頓犒勞自己，補充足夠能量。
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎鼻塞
> > >
> > 若是過敏性鼻炎引起的鼻塞，除了可能造成呼吸困難，還會讓大腦供氧不足，讓腦筋變得遲鈍。鼻塞代表呼吸道黏膜功能脆弱，日本醫學研究證明，這多半與腸胃功能不佳有關，別光顧著通暢鼻子，保養腸胃道也一樣重要。
> > >
> > >
> > > 臉頰告訴你的六個密碼
> > >
> > > ◎臉頰發紅
> > >
> > 臉頰爬上兩團莫名其妙的「高原紅」，這可能是西醫所說的「原因不明的微熱」，因體力過度消耗、身體水分失調引起。如果除了兩頰發紅，還出汗、氣喘，這可能是高熱引發。洗個舒服的熱水澡，吃兩片退燒藥，再美美地睡一覺，就能適當緩解。
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎臉色蒼白
> > >
> > 嘴唇、眼瞼內側和臉頰蒼白都是貧血症狀。另外，呼吸微弱會讓皮膚機能衰退，製造黑色素的功能降低，也容易導致臉頰蒼白。除了補充營養，建議多做慢跑、散步等有氧運動，確保氧分供應充足。
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎顴骨上出現皺紋
> > >
> > 可能是肝臟功能異常所致。當肝功能無法淨化血液或供給血液足夠氧分，會讓血液變混濁，體內新陳代謝速率降低，皮膚敏感性增高，導致皺紋出現。德國醫學專家說，除了看醫生提高肝功能代謝率，顴骨處的皮膚較薄，紫外線尤其會帶來傷害，防曬尤需注意。
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎雙頰冒粉刺
> > >
> > 荷爾蒙分泌失調會在額頭、下巴長粉刺。如果臉頰兩側長粉刺，除了清潔不徹底，還可能是心情焦躁、工作壓力大所致。不妨來趟旅行，給身體、心情放個假！
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎毛孔粗大
> > >
> > 隨著年齡增長，皮脂分泌會逐漸減少，肌膚保濕力也開始下降，如果這時身體缺乏某種特定維生素，毛孔就會變粗大。最好的解決辦法莫過於攝取足量維生素Ｃ，其中所含的膠原蛋白能提高保濕力，肌膚有彈性，毛孔也會隨之隱形！
> > >
> > >
> > > ◎臉色發黑
> > >
> > 你可能得看醫生檢查一下是否是腎臟有毛病。腎臟能調節體內水分的代謝，如果腎臟的過濾功能降低，廢物就會長期堆積體內，使得膚色暗沉，剛開始是在肌膚較薄的地方出現色素沉澱，慢慢地會向四周擴散，建議嘗試一下韓國流行的三日蔬果排毒法，每天喝大量的水，吃新鮮蔬果，避免肉食，體內沉積的廢物自然很快排出。

Good lesson....

My dear friends
good to learn from him

God bless

A Blog Posted by Singapore 's Youngest Millionaire

By Adam Khoo In Money

Some of you may already know that I travel around the region pretty frequently, having to visit and conduct seminars at my offices in Malaysia,
Indonesia, Thailand and Suzhou (China). I am in the airport almost every other week so I get to bump into many people who have attended my seminars
or have read my books.

Recently, someone came up to me on a plane to KL and looked rather shocked. He asked, 'How come a millionaire like you is traveling economy?' My
reply was, 'That's why I am a millionaire.' He still looked pretty confused. This again confirms that greatest lie ever told about wealth (which I wrote about in my latest book 'Secrets of Self Made
Millionaires').

Many people have been brainwashed to think that millionaires have to wear Gucci, Hugo Boss, Rolex, and sit on first class in air travel. This is why so many people never become rich because the moment that earn more money, they think that it is only natural that they spend more, putting them back to square one.

The truth is that most self-made millionaires are frugal and only spend on what is necessary and of value. That is why they are able to accumulate
and multiply their wealth so much faster. Over the last 7 years, I have saved about 80% of my income while today I save only about 60% (because I have my wife, mother in law, 2 maids, 2 kids, etc. to support). Still, it is way above most people who save 10% of their income (if they are lucky).
I refuse to buy a first class ticket or to buy a $300 shirt because I think that it is a complete waste of money. However, I happily pay $1,300 to send my 2-year old daughter to Julia Gabriel Speech and Drama without thinking twice.

When I joined the YEO (Young Entrepreneur's Organization) a few years back (YEO is an exclusive club open to those who are under 40 and make over
$1m a year in their own business) I discovered that those who were self-made thought like me. Many of them with net worth well over $5m, travelled
economy class and some even drove Toyota's and Nissans (not Audis, Mercs, BMWs).

I noticed that it was only those who never had to work hard to build their own wealth (there were also a few ministers' and tycoons' sons in the club)
who spent like there was no tomorrow. Somehow, when you did not have to build everything from scratch, you do not really value money. This is
precisely the reason why a family's wealth (no matter how much) rarely lasts past the third generation. Thank God my rich dad (oh no! I sound
like Kiyosaki) foresaw this terrible possibility and refused to give me a cent to start my business.

Then some people ask me, 'What is the point in making so much money if you don't enjoy it?' The thing is that I don't really find happiness in buying branded clothes, jewellery or sitting first class. Even if buying something makes me happy it is only for a while, it does not last.
Material happiness never lasts, it just give you a quick fix. After a while you feel lousy again and have to buy the next thing which you think will make you happy. I always think that if you need material things to make you happy, then you live a pretty sad and unfulfilled life.

Instead, what makes ME happy is when I see my children laughing and playing and learning so fast.

What makes me happy is when I see by companies and trainers reaching more and more people every year in so many more countries.

What makes me really happy is when I read all the emails about how my books and seminars have touched and inspired someone's life.
What makes me really happy is reading all your wonderful posts about how this BLOG is inspiring you.

This happiness makes me feel really good for a
long time, much much more than what a Rolex would do for me.

I think the point I want to put across is that happiness must come from doing your life's work (be in teaching, building homes, designing,
trading, winning tournaments etc.) and the money that comes is only a by-product.
If you hate what you are doing and rely on the money you earn to make you happy by buying stuff, then I think that you are living a life of meaningless.

雅加达大型基督教堂启用

2008-09-23T16:08:00.003+08:00

（雅加达综合电）一座耗资数百万美元的大型基督教堂昨天在雅加达启用，大约4000人参加了祈祷仪式，唱圣歌和用印尼语朗读圣经。

　　提出建造高大宏伟美斯亚斯(Mesias)大教堂的人，是印尼华裔牧师唐崇荣（Stephen Ton），他说建造大教堂是为了破除人们头脑中印尼不能容许少数派信仰的错误观念。

　　唐崇荣说：“这证明印尼政府并不阻止建造宗教中心”。唐崇荣早在1989年创建了印尼归正福音教会。

　　他说：“大教堂给予世界一个全新的印象，印尼不是一个混乱和问题多多的国家。”

　　来大教堂里的多数信徒都是华裔印尼人，当唐崇荣用华语和印尼语演讲时，他们都全神贯注的聆听。在三个小时的祈祷仪式中，他谈到了教会改革和同性恋等问题。

　　这座白色圆顶建筑是由信徒们捐资建造的，除了做礼拜，教堂还包括神学院、音乐厅以及绘画和中国瓷器博物馆，以促进宗教和文化理解。

　　在印尼的2亿2600万人口中，只有10%是基督教徒。

Megachurch opens in Indonesia

Jakarta's grand Katedral Mesias is the brainchild of a Chinese-Indonesian preacher, Stephen Tong, who says the church is aimed at dispelling the misconception that Indonesia is intolerant of minority faiths. -- PHOTO: REUTERS

JAKARTA - A MULTIMILLION dollar megachurch opened on Saturday in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, with a rousing service attended by some 4,000 people singing hymns and reading from the Bible in Bahasa Indonesia.

'This proves that there are no restrictions from the Indonesian government to build religious centres,' said Mr Tong, a charismatic preacher who founded the Indonesian Reformed Evangelical Church in 1989.

'It gives the world a new impression of Indonesia: it is not a messy country or full of troubles.'

Worshippers at the megachurch, most of them Chinese Indonesians, listened in rapt attention as Tong spoke in both Mandarin and Bahasa Indonesia on a host of issues such as church reform and homosexuality during the nearly three-hour service.

The worshippers, many of them dressed in their finest traditional batiks, prayed and sang to Gregorian music and other hymns before ending the service with Handel's Hallelujah resonating through the massive pillared hall.

Funded by contributions from followers, the white-domed church will eventually also house a seminary, a concert hall and a museum of paintings and Chinese porcelain in an effort to promote religious and cultural understanding.

Christians account for about 10 per cent of Indonesia's 226 million people, and have in the past been the target of hardline Islamic violence in some parts of the sprawling Southeast Asian archipelago.

Vocal minority
About 85 per cent of the population is Muslim and most follow a moderate form of the faith, but a hardline minority has become more vocal in recent years and religious tensions flare up occasionally between Muslims and Christians in some pockets.

Radical Muslim groups have forced several churches and other places of worship to close in recent years, prompting criticism from human rights groups.

Given the climate of hostility, building the megachurch wasn't easy - it took 16 years for Mr Tong to get the green light from Indonesian authorities.

'Other churches in Indonesia were established by the Dutch and until now many of them still rely on funding from abroad. But our church does not depend on overseas funding,' said Mr Tong.

'This is the only national church, because the money is from Indonesia, the design is from Indonesia, the materials are from Indonesia. There was no support from overseas.'

Megachurches, which pack in thousands for rousing Sunday worship services, are popular in the United States, especially in suburbs and smaller towns where they often serve as a community centre.

Most are non-denominational evangelical or Pentecostal, with some linked to the Southern Baptists.

Services in their huge halls usually feature emotional preaching and upbeat modern worship music rather than traditional hymns. Critics accuse megachurches of having a shallow theology and stressing entertainment more than religion.

Some experts said the megachurch in Jakarta was a sign of the growing confidence of the Christian community in Indonesia, while others say it could spark hardline anger and fears of conversions in the Muslim-majority nation.

'The danger is if several parties perceive the church as a way to Christianise people. That could provoke hatred,' said Mr Syafi'i Anwar, director of the International Centre for Islam and Pluralism (ICIP).

'It is not proof that religious tolerance is running well here. Recently, there has been increasing presure on the government from hardline groups over freedom of faith.' -- REUTERS

STEMI 2008- WHO IS JESUS?

2008-09-14T02:44:00.002+08:00

STEMI= STEVEN TONG EVANGELISTIC MISSIONS INTERNATIONAL

1st Day- Thursday
invited my classmate ye you hua to the event.. she didnt respond to the hu zao from reverend steven tong.. maybe need to slowly show her God's love.. too early to ask her to receive Christ after 1 session.. need to pray more for her.. that God moves her heart towards Him.. :)

many people responded.. really excited at the prospect of bringing more people to Christ..

2nd Day-Friday
asked De Yuan to come.. though he's christian already, hope that God's word will inspire him and let him have the Holy Spirit's flame inside him again- to be "huo re" again :)
You Hua came but didnt go into the stadium.. just had dinner with her and De yuan.. guess it's too early and too fast.. it's my fault too.. i was too stubborn and keep insisting that she come..
felt quite bad later and thought i should be more sensitive to people's feelings.. hai.. if you're reading this huh.. sorry !! ( to you hua )

today's the 1st day i sang.. cos during 1st day i brought my friend so didnt sing.. it was quite ok..
today's sermon was about Jesus' Divinity ...

3rd Day-Saturday

headed down to Indoor Stadium.. supposed to reach at 1pm.. but was late.. luckily reached in time for briefing.. by pure coincidence. managed to sit with my church sunday school cohort!! we took up 7-8 rows :)

liang yu, wen li, xing yong, xin yi all came.. my pri 4 batch also came. bo jun, qiao yi n yong xin

didnt get to see jia yu and jia cheng.. or jiamin..
during the hu zao.. brought liang yu down to the stage.. i took down particulars for a pair of twin sisters who received christ today :) glory to god!! :) amen..

rushed out after children's gospel rally for a quick meal..

came back 5plus for rehearsal..

attended Q and A.. reverend steven tong's Q and A is very good.. every qn and every point he answered with boldness, clarity and i feel totally answered the person's qn..

May God bless His servant and manifest His glory thru Reverent Steven Tong..

Today's sermon was about "dao" john 1:1- in the beginning was the word - the word was "dao" in chinese..

explained abt socrates, confuscious, lao zhi and greek's logos~, indian's barahma, which are essential seeking for the cosmic reason the cosmic truth, the Apostle John wrote in the gospel of John in the beginning was the word, etc, and he surpassed the chinese, greek and indian civilisation on the understanding of the truth ( aka zhen li )

quite an intellectual debate and explaination.. my brains almost got fried cos it was being pushed to the limits ha..

mani pple responded to the hu zao.. i was amazed cos i tot being the 3rd day the pple would be lesser but yet God manifests His glory indeed.. more pple responded than the previous 2 days!! ;) Amen

- really wonder if i'll still be as excited as i am now- am i in a state of euphoria?

- i really have a great sense of urgency.. when i boarded the shuttle bus on the way to indoor stadium.. saw many kids staring back at me..

- i wondered.. why didnt i ask my cousins to come? is it cos it's "too late minute" ? ?

-May God give me courage, wisdom and boldness to proclaim and spread the Good News to the rest of my relatives.. teach me Lord ...

4th Day- to be added

my first 24 hour comic. i think it took me about 20 hours. i was gonna go back and redraw some pages and rework some things and stuff, but then i fell asleep instead. the title was supplied by ryan, who also challenged me to draw in a different "style." so i gave it a try! unfortunately i spent so much time trying to draw things that weren't circles with two dots in 'em that the story kinda went out the window.

i supplied the title for ryan's comic(the sticky-note appears in the comic!), and i challenged him to make a serious comic which he totally balked at. ryan and i both have comic hangovers. my final impression of 24hcd is that it is neat, though i'd rather spend a normal amount of time working on some good comics? but it was fun in that this-has-got-to-be-building-character sort of way.

Poem by Henry David Thoreau

2008-08-26T15:04:00.000+08:00

Great God, I Ask Thee for No Meaner Pelf

Great God, I ask for no meaner pelf
Than that I may not disappoint myself,
That in my action I may soar as high
As I can now discern with this clear eye.

And next in value, which thy kindness lends,
That I may greatly disappoint my friends,
Howe'er they think or hope that it may be,
They may not dream how thou'st distinguished me.

That my weak hand may equal my firm faith
And my life practice what my tongue saith
That my low conduct may not show
Nor my relenting lines
That I thy purpose did not know
Or overrated thy designs.

really need God's wisdom and help in many things, in studies, family, friends, how to manage time, etc etc..

He is my Redemption Rock, my Salvation..

What must I put down in this life to follow Him?
People have put down their knives, their guns, their old ways of living, their secular CDS, drugs....

What is it that you and I need to put down today to follow Him?

STEMI- choir practise@Newton Life Church

2008-08-04T01:28:00.005+08:00

http://www.stemi.org.sg/whoisjesus/

I went to Newton Life Church for Combined Choir practise today... though I was treading along the familiar stretch of Rail Mall with tired feet, and even more tired body, blocked nose, smell of "feng you" in my nostrils - and getting called " uncle "
( tsk so stereotype- only uncles can use fengyou meh? ha.. ) ;

i marched on like a brave soldier who is stepping right into the battle zone, armed with my songbook and my buddy and mee E E

- melody frm purple light - army song-

saw the familiar faces from yesterday..

Reverend Lee is really quite a kind man. like and egg ( hard on the outside- soft on the inside =)
Hope I can learn just 1% from his experience ha.. :)

Two other conductors are also very good.. dynamic.. can onli drop jaw.. ha..

sang quite a few songs today.. the songs really touched my heart..

my heart was filling with emotions, when i sang a song that i sang this morning during communion- Ying Ta Shi Jia - Without His Cross..

Was it cos so many of us sang? the numbers made up the difference?

Without His tears, there is no comfort...

Was i touched cos there was so many others like me, who believed- and like me was spending a fine sunday afternoon in that wide and tall and echoey hall - as a living sacrifice to God?

Without His Death... there is no Life

Was i touched cos the lyrics touched me? ( cos of his tears, I am comforted.. )

Without His Blood.. there is no pardon...

Was it the working of the Holy Spirit inside me ?

Without His Cross, there is no crown....

Could it be that I have a "heaven- vision" - that I feel so strongly that heaven is something like this, all of us singing together, in bright shining clothing singing praise to God and giving thanks and worshipping Him in pure Joy

Without His Cross, there is no crown....

I conclude that it maybe a mixture of above- can really feel God working inside me..

Am really glad to be part of His work.. though something will be missing in heaven that I find here on Earth...

it's tears :)

Description

The Southern Ridges comprise a 9-kilometre chain of green, open spaces spanning the rolling hills of Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park and Kent Ridge Park before ending at West Coast Park.

It is an area steeped in history and is home to some of nature's greatest gifts of flora and fauna. It is also one of the best spots in Singapore to catch panoramic views of the city, harbour and the Southern Islands.

Convenient connections

Two prominent connections stand proudly along the Ridges today.

Henderson Waves - Singapore's highest pedestrian bridge - spans Henderson Road to connect Mount Faber Park to Telok Blangah Hill Park.

The other link, Alexandra Arch, looks like an opened leaf across Alexandra Road. It continues to Forest Walk, which is made up of an elevated walkway for pedestrians and earth trail for cyclists through the secondary forest of Telok Blangah Hill Park.

Together with a series of other interesting trails, they provide a seamless link through a soothing sanctuary of greenery that was previously not accessible.

a video clip to ponder on- A man in the hole

2008-07-16T13:35:00.001+08:00

A man in a hole represents mankind trying traditions & religions to take him out of the hole. Several people came close to the hole but they only instructed him to do things that may help him to be out of the hole. Finally, only one person goes down to the hole, reaches for him and takes him out of the hole. A good illustration of what God does for us through Jesus Christ.

2008-05-17T01:13:00.000+08:00

【人們需要主】
詩集：新歌頌揚，217 　美樂頌，118

人們走過我身旁，他們眼中流露出；
心中空虛與愁煩，走向未知路。
人生路程極艱難，整日心恐懼，
歡笑掩飾心哭泣，耶穌能醫治。

主召我們發真光，現世代對錯不分；
有代價嫌太高，向失喪人傳福音。
當人們背負重擔，祂以愛同擔，
只有我們能傳揚，永生的真道。

副歌：人們需要主，人們需要主。
　　　當美夢破滅之時，他為人開路。
　　　人們需要主，人們需要主。
　　　何時我們才知，人們需要主。

pray people - i guess tat's the best things we can all do right now

2008-05-13T22:07:00.003+08:00

Dear readers of this blog, I urge you to pray for the Victims of the Sichuan earthquake.

I personally can feel the sense of worry and loss - as I have classmates who are from Sichuan whose family are still there outdoors - fearing to go back to their homes due to the tremors tat are happening throughout the day.

Have seen my classmates with reddish eyes and dried tear marks.. signs of worrying about their families' safety in Si Chuan.

The fear of the worst when you cant contact your parents for 5 hours straight after the 1st quake happened..

O Lord, You are in control, you made the heavens and the earth.

Lord You alone know the reasons why this is all happening. We pray that as you reveal your will to us, you continue to watch over those whose families are still trapped in the rubble, whose families are still staying outdoors for fear of another quake, and we pray that your peace guards the hearts and minds of the overseas students studying here in Singapore...

In the midst of all this pain and fear and worry, we pray that we become beacons of light to all these people who are lost and who do not know where their tomorrow lies.

Pray for spiritual boldness to share the Gospel in this trying times.

This maybe the worst time to share, and this maybe the best time to share the Gospel with them.

Lord, pray for wisdom to share, to shift from self-centeredness to caring about the people around us. especially for those who're living in fear and worry.

PEOPLE NEED THE LORD.
