Worth the heart work, isn't it? :)
Sunday, January 31, 2010 @ 7:05 PM
Yesterday I witnessed how a cell group "ganged" up to hold a birthday surprise for their cell leader, who is a good friend of mine by the way. hahah. Looking at the group of people, I know they are artistic, creative etc etc. But does having those attributes mean that the cell group will surely organise such a party for the leader? Not necessarily so, isn't it? They could have chosen to just stick to the old-fashion "lets go out for dinner though we are so super creative" way of celebrating. :)
When I saw the effort they put in, the excitement, the trying to get irrelevant ppl like me into the picture to surprise her, I was touched by not their gesture but by the knowledge of the impact she must have made in their lives, even though she wasn't in leadership for too long. I envy her, not for the loyalty of cell members..but for her heart of servanthood. I want this kinda heart too.
When was the last time I made such an impact? When was the last time you made such an impact? For that matter, have I ever? It's hard to tell. hahha.
Whatever it is, Long Live the Queen! Blessed Birthday! :) May HIS impact on your life overflow to your princesses! :)

Fruitful Day!
Monday, January 25, 2010 @ 8:25 AM
This morning, I woke up and went with Jen to Orchard to change her spoilt watch we we just bought yesterday. Then we went with ah-gu to eat fish-soup...and then I went to shop at Mustafa and city square alone...round and round...and then i went to find Edna at Kevin's workplace...and found out she already quit her job...cool...talked to her a while..took her reader's digest from her...it was nice catching up with her.:) Then I went to farrer park mrt and found the place so familiar...i thought Yellow stayed there. SO I called her and visited her and little Lizzie. Turned out Sophia was there too! It was so great! Once again, nice to catch up and just slack..and drinking coffee with Yellow brings back fond memories..hahha...Sophia was perpectually sleepy..muahaha...Lizzie is so cute.:)Then I went to meet Allison...to shop..I bought a bag...and we went to eat before AQ joined us...and we went for dessert at Mac before going home...so it was a real fruitful day to me because its been a while since I really spent time with any of those I went out with today....
Thank God for friends He places in our lives. :)

A Sense of Achievement
@ 4:37 AM
Some derive a sense of achievement from having a well-paid job...some a job of high status....some get it from a happy family...others from getting a good partner....perhaps also from having their first grandchild......or running a 24km marathon....or scoring in the exams...or completing a project on time....or managing to persuade parents to get the newest PSP Go! for them.... or seeing lots of money in the bank...making money in their investments....holiday to Japan.....making their first million....getting their condominium.....finding the best sale item in singapore.....giving the best education for your children....
What gives you a sense of achievement?
From my view...I see what achievement means to the people i come into contact with.....it means having a complete family....it means having a bed to sleep on, one they can call their own even if its donated....a tv to watch even if some pixels are spoilt......a job so that they can feed their children.....children who will visit them regularly and not only when they need help......parents who will spend time with her......money so that she can go into polytechnic......food on the table......no more loansharks......a pass in their grades, just a pass because they tried so hard but could never reach there....the ability to lift up a cup on their own.....a child who will understand......a new coat of paint for their one-room flat after like 20 years.....a roof over their head....
What gives you your sense of achievement? Think again, will you?
