Author vs Blogger

Alright, has not been blogger for a long time. Meaning, i have not been paying attention to my thoughts. or i simple have no thoughts at all?? hahah Nowadays people blog for money. Well, authors might be losing their job soon? Probably "author" as an occcupation might be extinct soon. hahah. Our children generation would learn 'writer' as 'blogger' instead of 'author'. Would the world be paperless then?Well, guess it would be the happiest day of their life for the "save the earth" gurus. Hmm.. initially i was wondering what to blog. No inspiration Was actually thinking where to get inspiration? The beach? Somewhere tranquil and solitude? Or maybe a good book? Haha. Surprise, surprise.. as i wrote, i have more things to say and things begin to flow in. But why cant i do this when i was infront of my computer? Anyway. More and more people are blogging. Some use it as a revenue, some use it to share thoughts and information, some use it as a per...

Anger

Have you been angry with a child before? Nope? Liar. I was on my way down to ground floor just to realize that I was still in my office slippers. Immediately, I alighted at level 8 and wait for the next lift to bring me up to the 45th floor. There were 7 people in the lift, including me and a child. There was a young girl and her maid. The maid was busy chatting on the phone with her loud speaker on. Just too bad that I could not understand the language; else I would be very interested to know the contents of the conversation. (Yea, very 八卦 - that’s human =P) well, side track a little bit, the maid seems to be richer than me! (I judged that by the phone that she uses). I have lost track of all the Nokia models, my memory got stuck at Nokia 6280, the blue light phone - that’s how backwards I am. She is using one of the latest Nokia phone, doll. WOW! You may say it backward again. I am telling the truth. I think maids that stayed in IP are pretty rich. Back to the lift. The maid was so b...

Abide in Me

I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be my disciple. -John 15:1-8 Have you wondered what it really mean by abiding? When you throw an empty bottle into the ocean, the bottle is merely abidi...

Perfect Husband?

"Do you think you have found a perfect husband?" "Nope, i dont think i have found a perfect husband. It doesnt take me long to find out that my husband is not perfect." "So you are saying that you are not happily married?" "Nope, i dont mean that. My husband hasnt found a perfect wife too. He doesnt have what i have, and i dont have what he has. Thats why we are the perfect match." Have you noticed that imperfect people are always striving to be perfect? Because Imperfect often speaks "i-m-perfect". God will bring perfection out from an imperfectionist. Let Him do the job is much easier. -Just some thoughts flashing in my mind while i was on the bed.- **** So are you still waiting for the perfect man? In heaven, probably.

晨曦

Image
早上的阳光好温暖。 今天去工作时经过组屋楼下的游乐场。 看见阳光普照洒满着大地,真让人有种冲动,来晒个日光浴。 懒惰的自己竟然让自己错过了那么温暖的晨曦! 本想下定决心要自己早点起床,到组屋楼下的凳子乘凉乘凉。。拿起一本书,享受着温暖的太阳下,也许也能索取些灵感。把老公也叫起,当他去锻炼身体的当儿,让我悠载闲载地沉进在这小小悠闲中。 “咚!” 还是要回到现实中。我这懒惰骨是很难叫得起来的啦。 不是不可能。。是心灵固然愿意,肉体却软弱。 身体上的劳累,也许需要十年追回来!哈哈。(好伟大的借口吧!) 其实很感谢主(应该有个"旗"字旁,但找不到上帝的‘主’)让我和老公得着那么好的家。在中区,交通方便,环境又很好。我喜欢维多利亚式,这里的环境就是维多利亚式。感谢主!! 别小看我哟。有一天心血来潮,我真的会特早起床晒日光浴哟! 晚安!

时间

时间走得太快,让我不知道什么是老.. 神啊!救救我吧! 岁月真的是用飞的来形容的吗?

Faith!

"If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, say to this mountain be removed! and it will done so for you" Matthew 21:21 ok! God, i will do it. You got to be responsible for the calling You have called me into ok! I will trust in You, i will work hard, i will work on my discipline. Lord, i depend on You to make it work out for me! You are Faithful, You are my Rock, You are my Protector!

Bitter or Better?

People may make you bitter. But you can choose to be better! *** It is impossible to be bitter and get better at the same time. You have a choice to make. You can let each hurt or problem make you bitter or better. The decision is yours. How can a hurt or problem make you a better person? God does not bring hurts and wounds upon you, but once they are inflicted upon you, He is able to cause them to benefit you if you will trust Him to do so. (All things work out good for the kingdom of God) People are not prefect, therefore we hurt and disappoint each other. Go to Jesus with each old wound, and begin to receive His healing grace. When someone hurts you, take that new wound to Jesus. Dont let it fester. Take it to the Lord and be willing to handle it His way and not your own. - Beauty for ashes

Bridge

Image
What is the greatest architecture of our time? If you ask me, i would say its BRIDGE. Since young, i am always amazed and has a special likings on bridges. I do not understand why. I heard a story that says that you got to cross a bridge with someone you love, so that the relationship will be everlasting. The bridge is called 情人桥. You may find it hilarious like me probably. But come to think of it, it may not be fully wrong.. Jesus comes as a bridge that links us to God. He is the 情人桥 we have to cross so that our relationship can be everlasting. Not just the love between man and woman, but also brotherly and sisterly love, parents and children love, friendship love.. Cross the bridge, lest you fall into the deep blue sea.. ***** "Be my Bridge. You shall connect people together and you shall connect them to me." "But Lord, how am i able to do that? I am not eloquent, i am just quiet. Too quiet.. i do not know how to start off a conversation, i do not know what to say, wha...

Do you receognise the King?

There was this high achiever, very competent and smart. Changed quite a number of jobs because he was being head hunted by big companies. So there was this day, he was on his way for an interview with a bank, for a high position, of course. While at the platform of the train station, he saw a pickpocket tried to steal an old man wallet from his pocket. The pickpocket was so fast that this young man could not respond in time or to do anything about. So he went up to this old man and said, "Sir, your wallet has just been pickpocketed." Just then, the train reached the platform and the young man needs to board the train in order not to be late for his interview. So he turned back and said to the old man, "I am so sorry, i dont think i can be of any help to you." Saying that, he turned and went into the train. There were three seats infront of him when he was in the interview room. On the left side was the Managing Director of the bank. On the right side was the Account...

Make room!

Its a drag to go from Ground zero to the 45th floor every morning. The lift has to stops in almost every level just to load and unload people. After last night prayer, i have made a conscious decision to be patient with things like this (actually only this) that has been irritating me ever since i started work at IP. Can you believe it! it will take me about 7mins to reach my office at 45th floor from level 1! I dont even wait so long for a train in the morning! ok.. so i asked God to help me remember i had prayed. So this morning, usual. The lift stops at almost every level to pick up passengers. I felt so irritated. Why must those irritating people press the lift? Why must i wait so long to get to my destination? (well, if you are in a clarity of mind, you can see that its no body's fault? the problem is ME - i dont own a private lift. hah) I began to feel frustrated. And you know, God always answers prayers. yea, i was reminded of the things i prayed. So i tell myself to cool do...

Why 5 stones?

David killed Goliath with 5 stones and a sling. But why did David pick 5 stones where there was only one giant? He has no faith? Thinking that if he missed one, he still have four more chances?? If you read the story further in 2Samuel, you will realised that Goliath had 4 sons. That means, there were 5 giants! Which means to say, David wanted to kill the 5 giants all at one shot! He has faith. Great faith! And his faith is specific. 5 giants, 5 stones. He didnt go by the natural, bring 5 stones to kill 1 giant - flawed faith. He didnt presume that he could kill more than 5 giants - presumptuous faith. He has faith. And his faith is specific. Dont be frustrated when you see the problems. Take one giant at a time.

Chew on it!

I was reading a book this morning, and i felt this story is good! While hopping about one day, a frog happened to slip into a very large pothole along a country road. All of his attempts at jumping out were in vain. Soon a rabbit came upon the frog trapped in the hole and offered to help him out. He, too, failed. After various animals from the forest made three or four gallant attempts to help the poor frog out, they finally gave up. "We'll go back and get you some food," they said. "It looks like you're going to be here for a while." However, not long after, they took off to get food, they heard the frog hopping along after them. They couldnt believe it! "We thought you couldnt get out!" they exclaimed. "Oh, i couldnt," replied the frog. "But you see, there was a big truck coming right at me, and I HAD TO." (compliments: Attitude 101 - J C Maxwell. Thanks to Kevin for lending me the book) As long as we have acceptable options, ...

Bite on it

I overheard a conversation in the lift today. It goes like this... Man: "what are you listening to?" Woman: "songs lo..." Any answer lamer than that?!? conclusion: 1. The woman does not understand what the man is asking. (maybe thats why man and woman are still trying to understand each other! haha. Hmm.. actually not neccessary though, sometimes it happens with man-man, woman-woman. hee) 2. The man is not specific in his asking. So the woman is not wrong with her answer also. 3. But common sense tells us that what the man meant was, "what songs are you listening to?" (if i know that you SAW me listening to a MP3 player, of course i would anticipate that you are actually asking me what songs im listening to! - its like: you see me sitting infront of a big TV watching a programme. "What are you watching?" "TV." ~.~"' hello?? anybody home?? The TV not big enough? duh) 4. Lame question, lame answer. (you get what you give. Give pe...

Thus saith Yi Lin...

Reading the creation of the world in Genesis on the top of the world... is splendid. Standing on the 45th floor, with the magnificient seaview and the full horizon in sight, the word of God manifested its flesh right before my eyes. "Then God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear": and it was so." Scientist said the age of the earth is in its millions. I do not believe it as first, thinking the earth would be the most 6000+ years old. But after reading the bible, why not? God created the whole world in 6 days. 1 day in heaven is 1000 days on earth. Which means to say, the earth would be at least 6000-year old before God rested on the 7th day. Think: 1. God created the greenery. Gen 1:11 "Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth"; vs12 and it was so. And...

Archie

my dear bought me No.20 Archie comic today. so sweet. I love every bits of Archies! Thank you! thank you! THANK YOU!!!!!! A couple of strips caught me. Here's one, i find it rather... er.. humoruous. (you may beg to differ) Little Reggie saying to Little Archie and Little Jughead: "A peanut sat on a railroad track-- his heart was all aflutter! A train came along the way-- Toot! Toot! PEANUT BUTTER!" (HAHahhaHAHAHha..) er.. not funny? hee. maybe you need to understand the character of Reggie in order to see the humorous line of this gag. anyway. i learnt something too! Little Jinx: (happily, leaping with joy) Well, Charley! I made it! I got promoted! Charley: I feel funny, little Jinx! I thought our teacher didnt like me, but I've changed my mind.. Little Jinx: Oh, really, Charley, why? Charley: I overheard her talking about me to another teacher.. She said it was the happiest day of her life when i was promoted to the next grade. Little Jinx pengz. True as it may be. ...

I.Q vs A.Q

I.Q = Intelligent Quotient A.Q = Attitude Quotient A Yale University present some years ago gave an advice to a former present of Ohio state: Always be kind to your A and B student. Someday one of them will return to your campus as a good professor. And also be kind to your C students. Someday one of them will return and build a two-million-dollar science laboratory. *** Wow, wOW and WOW! what a powerful speech. There's always hope for those who doesnt do well academically! (but well, please dont use this as a leeway not to work hard!) There is very little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative. But i feel that this story can bring another message too. Dont just persue life. You may be at the top of everything, i.e. a very successful career, top student in school, ace relationship with family and friends.. but yet, persue the life Giver, who can give you mor...

Attitude

Image
Attitude is really about how a person is. That overflows into how he acts. Here's a story to share... A grandpa and a grandma visit their grandchildren very often. Each afternoon the grandpa will lie down for a nap. One day, as a practical joke, the kids decided to put Limburger cheese in this mustache. Quite soon he awoke sniffing. "Why, this room stinks.." he exclaimed as he got up and went out into the kitchen., He wasnt there long until he decided that the kitchen smelled too, so he walked outdoors for a breathe of fresh air. Much to grandpa's surprise, the open air brought no relief, and he proclaimed, "The whole world stinks" Isnt it so true? We carry "Limburger cheese" in our attitudes, the whole world smells bad. We are individually responsible for our view of life. Truth has contained in the scripture, "For whatever a man sow, he will surely reap". Our attitude toward and action in life help determine what happens to us. Life is ...

Big pockets, small mind

I came across an article yesterday in Her World magazine. Was fuming mad when i read it. How on earth such people exist in here?! Its a long article, but want to blog it out and share with you guys and gals, Please, when you become rich one day, dont become like this.. *** "What rich women do to stay rich" A young woman walks into a high-end boutique and picks up five dresses but pays only for two. Two doors away is her regular jeweller, where she tries on a necklace and matching set of earrings. She pays only for the necklace, and waltzes out the door with the gold and diamond chandelier earrings swinging off her ears. At the makeup counter in the department store, she tries everything, buys nothing, then leaves with a bag full of samples - all in full sizes. Then its off to her plastic surgeon's clinic, where she;s booked for a Botox and microdermabrasion session. She emerges hours later with a fresh new face and no intention of paying for the procedures. "I'll...
