On MC Again

Was on mc both yesterday and today. Suffering from giddy spell and a bad migraine. Blood pressure was up too, 145/93...was that high? Guess all the stress with mom's health, family and works........

Was at David and Serene wedding rehearsal last evening. Can't help much as my head was still pounding a little and ears hearing the "beep" sound constantly....sorry dude.....

Empty Fish Tank



No more fishes in my big fish tank.............somehow over the last few days all the goldfish died. Nathan was sad because the fishes died, daddy is happy because he don't have to spent 1 hr plus to change the tank water...........

Btw, anyone want the tank and the powerful filter system?

Leadership & Trust

An articles on wage increase for ministers and civil servants pointed out that regardless of the reasons for the increased, the govt will have to gain the trust of her people. Without that trust people will questions it's pay raised.

Trust is what all leaders would like and need to have from their followers. If the followers trust the leadership, they will advanced. Otherwise, together they will moved nowhere.

Simply put, a leader must have the confidence of those he is leading.

**Authority(leadership) is not the power a boss has over subordinates, but rather the boss's ability to influence subordinates to recognise and accept that power. - (can't remember who wrote this).

**A recent study showed that people would rather follow a leader they disagree with than one they agree with if the latter is constantly changing positions. - John Maxwell

Jackie in Hospital

hahaha........Jackie was in hospital too last week. She was warded to SGH for her "broken leg". This was her 2nd operation. A few years back she broke one of her leg, now the other side...... : 0 (

Visited her shortly after her ops.....look pale and weak. So we did not disturbed her. Went back the same evening and she was still drowsy cos of the medication. So Yvonne decided to visit her again on Saturday. She looked much better and can even joke a little by now. Told her Pastor suggested to change her name to Jasmine.........hmmm..... I am still wonder why "Jasmine"......?

Joke aside, must pray for her speedy recovery......she needs to get back to work to save money to get married......hor EW?.


Mom in Hospital

Mom was in hospital from last Tuesday to Saturday. The initial remark was possible liver inflammation, SGH even have a liver specialist visited her.... ; O (

Thank God, after some blood test and CT scan, the surgeon confirmed the inflammation was caused by gall bladder stone. However, they advised not to operate now as the inflammation may caused complications. They tried to used antibiotics to control the inflammation, And praise the Lord, it worked. Mom fever went down and she felt better. Hence, she was discharged to wait for her operation date.

Looking at mom at the hospital bed, reminded me not to take her fore granted. It is a blessing from God to have such a mother. Always looking for the good of her children, always self sacrificing....guess, it's time for her to relax and take things easy.

Also, to have Yvonne as my wife is indeed a great blessing from on High. I greatly appreciate and thank her for her understanding to, sometimes my nonsenses and temper. I love you dear, and sorry for loosing it again........ : o p

A Relaxing Evening

Andrew, Chee Leong and I were having dinner at Vivo.


The place we were at, Pacific Coffee was great too....nice ambience. Thank Chee Leong for recommending..... : o )
Oh, we met Mabel(Chency's mom) there too.

Chee Leong had great and exciting news on some of his contacts(those guys playing soccer). They have asked him out for gathering beside playing soccer. There was an addition soccer members too....a regualr navy personel (20+yo) just joined in the team. He was there one Saturday and requested to play with them.
We believe Chee Leong can continue to develope friendship with these guys......and perhaps one day lead them to Christ. Jokingly, Chee Leong already has his Net Group. Beside that, he also got a fat pay raised!!!!!

Oh, Andrew, Chee Leong......thanks for making time out last night..........I enjoyed it!!!!
