The pictures here sets the tone for the 15th and 16th Feb. 15th Feb is the day I'd celebrate my first month of freedom at last :)
Wasnt in the mood for celebration of any sort when I woke up, though. My back was aching badly because of the number of falls I took while turning and tossing from the bed. It was 10am yesterday when I sent three resumes to various companies in the hope of getting employed real soon..:P
This Friday, I'm leading WS for cell, singing for WS on Sunday, and as I type this, I've yet to complete my BS homework. Heh. The business causes me joy in a way. As I prepare the powerpoints for my cell's worship (we're going paperless, as you can see in the screen), listen and learn the songs for this Sunday's session and even clean up my place later, I'm reminded of how God could use "insignificant" people like me for His works. Its pretty amazing and gratifying at the same time. For once, I'm learning to take it easy and enjoy myself as I'm working thru all this.
I've have had the company of two great folks in town yesterday. Seeing them wearing almost identically colored shirts and pants kinda tickles me. Its swell lunch, plus the "plus" of making one new friend. The cheeky side of me wants to wear a shirt of the same color this Sunday for humour's sake.
On another note, I need to remind myself to have a PLAN B for my future, as rightly brought up by Ad. Although I never believed in "putting all my eggs in one basket", I was really hard pressed to state my alternative direction. TY brudder.
At the most, I'd work towards my childhood goal: Family Law.
On a final note, I'm really over my period of despondancy bout that I suffered last week. I'm being more of myself this week. Praise God.
Lastly, this is a quote from the WEENISM of TW. It touched my heart alot, and reminded me of what truly matters and what does not. Enjoy.
true happiness is not:
1. having great material wealth
2. having a pretty girlfriend (with a volumptious figure) by your side in a posh yellow Lamboguni sport car
3. having a nice house by the seaside with full length drop down window facing the sea (plus a dog)
4.having a high paying job that people envy
5. having a nice appearance or a charismatic character
6. having great talents
True happiness is:
1. having peace in times of chaos
2. having assurance from the divine
3. having love to others and others unto you
4. knowing that it will be happy and victorious ending right from the start
5. knowing how to the enjoy the presence of the divine moment to moment of your existence
-- "The Lord gives; the Lord takes away, blessed is the name of the Lord"
My Prayer for today:
"Dear Lord, as you have blessed me with so many wonderful people in my life, empower me that I may be of a greater blessing to them."
Ciao.

Thanks for quoting my words, it is my honour if what i written has ministered to you :)
now every heads down, every eyes closed, when i count to 3 please raise your hands if you want to dedicate your life....
Fraser:
You are definitely more than "insignificant" as mentioned. Your talent and service has blessed our cell group, YA and the church greatly.
Also, is the Family Law you are talking about being a lawyer? That will take even more effort to reach than your current ambition.
Lastly, what is despondency bout?
Hey there anonymous!
thank you for your kind words of encouragement. I'm encouraged to do more for a loving family like you all :)
Taking up of Family Law would lead me into the path of being a lawyer, but I would just be serving clients (parents and children) who have went through what I have went through(divorce proceedings, asset distribution, claim for mantainence, custody and visitation rights etc).
I would agree that that would require a greater effort to achieve, but as far as possible, I do not want to be stuck in the mainstream of the Commerce world. I'd just be average or even below average.
My "despondancy" referred to my period of slight depression a few weeks back. I was struggling over the decision to postpone sch, in need of finding a part time job, and also struggling with trying to keep "sane" at the same time. Things are OK now, Praise God.
Although I have a slight impression that I know who you are, I'd like to confirm my thoughts. No obligation, though :)
Fraser:
This is Joy Seng here who posted the message. Think you should have guessed it correctly, since there isn't much choices left after I used the word "our cell group".
As for studying Law, I am thinking you should go for it right away if you are sure that is what you want to do rather than getting an audio engineering degree. Otherwise, you will be most probably stuck in the audio engineering industry for whole life.
