on being blessed with abundance yesterday's morning...
Yea, He was good to me yesterday, when I didn't expect it. People showering with small gestures of kindness. Must give thanks ah, to glorify my Abba Father:
1) Free breakfast! :D Early in the morning, was treated to a scrumptious nasi lemak meal by my colleague. She called our department and was taking orders for breakfast*. I was craving for the deep-fried chicken wing as well as the super-shiok chilli of that particular Malay stall, so I ordered one person's portion. When she came over to deliver, she mentioned it was "gratis, on her" when I offered to pay.
*Kar-ching*~ Savings of $2.50 on my yesterday's daily expenses! Thank you, Abba!
2) Free tea-break! Another colleague brought back some snacks from her China trip - it was the peanuts coated with caramel block. Very the nice~ As I was in meeting, didn't get to thank her personally. Finished the whole block** and MSN-ed her my thanks~
*Kar-ching*~ Another savings of $0.50 on my yesterday's daily expenses! Thank you, Abba!
3) Usually we get to leave office 30mins earlier on Friday's evenings. So I rushed out "zhun zhun", as I was anxious to not get stuck in the human rush for the buses at the bus-stop. As I waited for my kaki to go home, she called me back and said we could get a lift from another colleague^! Was really glad as I had to go meet my 2 other friends at Choa Chu Kang - the ride home not only shaved off a bit on the bus-fares , but also precious minutes of the travelling time!
*Kar-ching*~ Saved money and time! Thank you, Abba!
4) Met up with my 2 kakis from secondary school days. Had a good time catching up with one another over "kopi" and playing arcade games - yesh, the kind of friendships where you don't have to talk a lot and yet enjoy each others' company^^. After a good game, my friend offered to drive us home~ And my other friend offered to pass me some rechargeable batteries for my new toy. Woo hoo! Not only blessed by my friends' generosity, but also their gesture of love.
Thank you, Elohim and Jehovah-jireh, for seeing my needs and providing them, and sending angels in the form of people around me. Really felt like a sparrow yesterday...

*Common office culture bah, for those offices that start work at 8.30am sharp. We usually spend the first 30mins of our office hours doing staff devotions and praying for one another. That's why most of us chose to go to canteen and buy breakfast after that. Fill our spiritual stomachs first, then our physical ones ah...
** For some reason, was very hungry despite the full breakfast and lunch. Guessed it was the cold morning weather cum long-meetings - no, we don't provide donuts like in those Dilbertian meetings...
^^ or what commonly termed as the ministry of presence, being present to the people you spent time with.
on "shi mi si"* failure...
My friend just forwarded me this - for all those who feel that they're failures and losers, take heart~
失敗的正面意義
‧失敗並不意謂你一事無成，
它是說你學了某些功課。
‧失敗並不意謂你是個傻瓜，
它是說你有很大的信心。
‧失敗並不意謂你蒙了羞辱，
它是說你勇於大膽嘗試。
‧失敗並不意謂你缺乏才幹，
它是說你再試別的方法。
‧失敗並不意謂你浪費生命，
它是說你可以重新再來。
‧失敗並不意謂你不會成功，
它是說你必須加倍努力。
‧失敗並不意謂神放棄了你，
它是說神有更美的主意。
‧失敗並不意謂你是失敗者，
它是說你現在尚未成功。
‧親愛的，當你不再害怕「害怕」。
它的魔爪就會逐漸消失。
‧當你不再害怕「失敗」，
成功的笑臉會迎你而來。

YouTube - The Gayest Weatherman Ever!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0YW6JYjDLU
The title says its all...
Turn up the volume towards the end... Hilarious!
on having perfect strangers popping by my site...
Well, nowadays getting more and more traffic on this site. Seems like people who are not remotest-ly connected to me in any fashion have been visiting my blog page. Well, most of them are directed here through their search of music - see, if you want people to drop by, must share obscure and hard-to-find music... :p
On another note, the readership has been pretty constant - the same old company of die-hards who seems to thrive on the seemingly-organic* stuff I put in my blog. Of cos' many of them do not have a choice, since I put them on a mailing list, bwaHAHAHAHAAHHAhahahahahahaha.....Ahahahahaaa...aha... erhmm. Sorry for that maniacal laughter.
*"pseudo-trash"?
P.S. If you can recognise the cast at the top of this post, you would have given away your age - it'll probably puts you as someone born before the 1980s, and one who was old enough (aged 13+) to appreciate this sitcom when it was aired. No prize for knowing the name of this series~
With All I Am
okay, this tune has been stuck in my brains since morning. Well, the devotional leader hummed a bit of this song and made reference to this in his delivery of message, and can't seems to get this outta my head.
Went for CG, and hummed this. Then my friend said she also have been "hooked" on this song- listening and singing to this from YouTube. Then when the worship leader tonight came in through the door, he too was humming this tune...
Coincidence or divine interruption? You decide...

Hillsong United - With All I Am
i commit again
with all I am
for you Lord
you hold my world
in the palm of your hand
and I'm yours forever
CHORUS
Jesus I believe in you
Jesus I belong to you
you're the reason that I live
the reason that I sing
with all I am
I'll walk with you
wherever you go
through tears and joy
I'll trust in you
and I will live
in all of your ways and
your promises forever
CHORUS
I will worship I will worship you forever
CHORUS
