My Mind Went Crazy

Posted on April 22, 2005 by clay

Earlier this week, someone mentioned to me, that things from outside are needed to trigger crazyness in one’s mind.

As this morning i walked to bus stop, thinking through the song i’ve been thinking through this week (Blessed Assurance by Fanny Crosby), i thought it’s really beautiful. Especially after i read how the song was used during one of the Wars.

Then i’s thinking to teach it to the children… The sight is so wonderful. Taught them the song ‘He is Lord’, kind of good summary for them of the gospel of Mark, and now studying 1 Peter, i think Blessed Assurance is also a good summary for the children.

After the lessons, if they can sing the song, and know what does it mean for them, i’ve done my job…

One can play the keyboard, one can sing very well, and maybe i do the some simple guitaring, vi can be the instructor or photographer…hehehe…then we have this one song to summarize a book of the Bible…At the end of the year, probably we’ll have 4-5 songs, good enough to lead a service …. 😀

And as i walked to the office, i’m thinking of the actions as well. Hahahaha … i don’t know…my mind seems went crazy at this point of time

Of course to make it come true is a hard work … But yah, if vi supported me, and God helps me and pleased with this arrangements … we could see something beautiful at the end

And the mind goes on. But the Word of the Lord stands forever

Nice Game

Posted on April 20, 2005 by clay

Played Dynasty Warrior 5 yesterday with arip….hehehehe…cool

The last act, we repeated 4 times before winning And i kill 500 + people …

But yah … actually it’s not a good idea, when i played and couldn’t stop. So today resisted the temptation to play. How many temptations surround, trying to deviate me from the focus ….

Thank you for the remainders, and not to please man, but God. Woke up quite in time this morning, because christo used the toilet. And yah … tomorrow and so on … need to keep the discipline.

Hopefully this friday could play again 😀

Undisciplined Life

Posted on April 19, 2005 by clay

Just noticed that i’m becoming more and more undisciplined. Starting from the wake up on time, and it affects other things as well. This is bad. It’s better to be rigid but disciplined, than flexible and not disciplined at all, doing last minute things as when i feel i want to do it. Help me to know the balance.

From tomorrow onwards, when the alarm rings, i can’t take longer than 5 minutes to get up  hehehe….

Alarm conscious now … temporary till i get back to my rhythm

FP Water Polo and XBOX Surprise

Posted on April 11, 2005 by clay

Prayed for a fun Sunday, and what an answer …

FP (Flynn Park is the name of my residence, there are 7 of us staying together) for first time played water polo… Since most of us short-sighted…hehe i guessed is really fun. Both the shooter and the goal-keeper are short sighted…so we’re equal. I got chance to score few times. Hehehe…really enjoying the game. Hopefully there won’t be any complains, since we made some ppl go end their swimming earlier hehehe…

Another thing is the Xbox session in the afternoon. I didn’t know before that girls can like Xbox also. Especially when they had chance of hitting their enemies and won the game …revealing the true human nature?

But i’m glad that they enjoyed the game, or rather the screaming…

Thank You Lord

Fix Processes Eat up Creativity

Posted on April 7, 2005 by clay

last nite, at house prayer fellowship which we have once a month, i realised that working life has taken much creativity from my brain.. 

Is it age that makes me less creative? I think is the mundane work, sitting in front of my PC and repeating the process. All the processes have been formalized, and we just follow all the steps.

In that sense, the bugs that i encountered perhaps are good to stimulate my thinking and force me to use my brain. Hopefully my creativity won’t loss as result (preventive measurement).

But to be together as one family of Flynn Park (place we stay), is really good. Thought we should have it more often than? 

Thank God for such interesting ppl around 

Dinosour may extinct, but good friends stay

On call

Posted on April 6, 2005 by clay

Was late for office this morning, so had to take taxi.

Saw many taxis but they’re on call  And i thought they’re faithful to their calling. I said this because they won’t stop for anything, except their destination.

Was thinking abt the term calling in Christian circle. Do they have the same meaning? One being called for certain task, and he shall not move out until he complete the task? One being called out from certain thing, and he should comply to move out.

If that’s so, then the call must be clear, in order it to be obeyed 100%.

hmmm….

and every Christian is called for godly living (Titus & other letters), self-denial, carrying cross, follow Jesus (the Gospels), proclaiming the gospel and disciple making (the Gospels)

thought there should be more since my knowledge is limited

Cross Culture

Posted on April 5, 2005 by clay

What an interesting heartlighter 

In Bahasa (Indonesian language), ayo means an encouragement for somebody to persevere on something till the end.

In Chinese, the same words means pain on the whole body. So when my colleague massage me this morning, i thought in Chinese : ayo ayo ayo ayo … hehehe … luckily he’s a Chinese, else if he’s an Indonesian, he’ll continue to inflict pain on my shoulders 

And also, in Thai, no 5 is spelled ha, so when they type 555555 means hahahahaha…. sounds of laughing

While in Chinese, no 5 is spelled u, so when they type 55555 means uuuuuu…. sounds of crying

Hehehe…..very funny….same words in different culture can means the opposite, better be careful when one cross culturing …. hmmmm *-)

Have Yourself a very Good Friday

Posted on March 26, 2005 by clay

I prayed that this Easter would be a special one. And indeed it’s a very special one  Never underestimate the power of prayer.

Somehow (as it could only comes that way), my mind was set free. The thoughts was around this thing called “LOVE”. What is love? And it’s so vivid, when God gave His One and Only Son, to die for me; that’s love. The biggest WHY? question that i’ll always ask but never been able to answer, Why God loved me? And He is still loving me and will always love me.

God’s love gives me the courage for living. That nothing can be so bad that He’s loved me so much. And the dreadest things seems that He asks, what can they be in view of His love? The most excellent of my achievements, what a pale sight before what He’s done.

Have you ever wondered of why keep on living another day? Indeed when u’re sick enough that u’ll realize, what’s going to happen after u die. Have u actually made anything significant? What’s a human soul after all?

Yet God loved man so much, that it bothered Him, and He sent His Son to save them. Why did God bother so much of man’s live when man never bother of God’s?

Life in Singapore is ugly, and ugly singaporean…the media says. But living without God, is the ugliest life. God offered a new life, living under Him. A life of obedient and surrender … trusting Him and fearing Him. Giving Him the right as God, and we’re as mere creature.

Will u have urself a very Good Friday? Accept God’s love for there’s no other better way 

God bless you.

Back from Sick

Posted on March 23, 2005 by clay

Thank God for today… My first day back to office again 

It’s a terrible sickness last week … a kind that happens once in 6 years (and i hope won’t happen again)

So glad to be well again. =)

Now dealing with the so many emails … and coming easter … hahaha …

and telling people….No no no …. i’m still recovering. I hope to get some rest.  Many are asking … what happened? … How should i know? I went down with fever for few days, i had throat infection, and headache …. Seems all kinds of sickness, and can be caused of many things also … Why does it take so long? How should i know also? I wish it’s only 3 days thing.

But one thing i know, that’s what somewhat close..i said i want this Easter to be different. I guess it’s very different.  I had a taste of sickness, little pains, thirsty, can’t sleep, high fever, loneliness, hunger …

ok then…need to go for training first…..
