Things are changing to the Better?

I went to the Area Ministers meeting last night, despite the headache I have throughout the day. And praise be to God, our Father....the headache disappeared when I took that step faith of going. Thanks to the "hint" by Ps Danny.

In the discussion, I brought up that recently I have heard lesser negative feedback regarding the church or its leadership. Things seems to be improving; and given time, we will feel a refreshing in the midst of us.

here's what I think, time is a key ingredient to healing of hurts, wounds. Time is also needed for changes to take place. We should allow time to take its cause, and we will see results.

So let's all take time, to wait upon the Lord, take time to fellowship with each others, give time for people to response...

"In all things, in prayers and supplications" ..........

Worries!!!!!

Work is super busy...writing during my lunch break.....drinking my coffee and munching my sandwiches....

After much prayer, today seems to be more 'on top' of things. Nevertheless, still stress though manageable.

Just been told that my March travel schedule was confirmed, 12 to 15 March to KL, Malaysia. Not sure if I should bring my family along. (hehehe) I am the worrysome type of guy, so if Yvonne and Nathan "wondering" around KL without me, I will be worry....

Coincidentally, had a nightmare last night. I dreamt Yvonne and Nathan were in Malaysia without me. And Nathan went to toilet alone cos Yvonne cannot go in. Than Nathan was kidnapped and disappeared...

So should they come along with me? Hahahaha........

My New iPhone

After much calculation, finally got my new iphone. I got it for $98 only though. $200 trade-in old phone and $100 for signing up broadband on mobile with Singtel riding on on current MIO plan. Only pay like extra $15 a month...on top of my $70 plus for MIO plan.

Surprisingly, the UI was great. Think now I am a Apple supporter liao...

Happy Birthday 3

The night of 6 October 2009. My son and Yvonne surprised me with a Ben &Jerry ice-cream. They even sang a birthday song to me. Felt so blessed by my Father in heaven.

On 7 October, my actual birthday, In the morning, Yvonne and I went Queensway Shopping Centre to alter my pant. While waiting for the pants is ready, we combed the shopping centre I once was familiar with. Yvonne commended that they sell mainly young men clothing and sports apparel. We also went Zhou Kitchen at Anchorage for our lunch. Both food and services were ok only, I expected a higher standard from Tung Lok Group leh....

After collecting the pant, we proceeded to Orcahrd Hotel to park the car since we have complimentary parking coupon (Eng Wee's wedding rehearsal was there in the evening). After that was shopping and more shopping....

We decided to eat at Tony Romas for dinner. Oh boy, I missed that place so very much....Have not visited there like 8 yrs. The last time was with Russ Hurst and pastors from Planet Shakers. Still remembered how I queued up to get when I was a teenager. : o )

Thanks dear for the happy day......without you, it would have been meaningless....

After dinner.....Eng Wee's wedding rehearsal lor.....

Seborrhoeic dermatitis

For quite some time I was having this rash on my face and neck, I can't even remember when it started. All I could recalled was when I was suffering from my throat ulcers and after the medication, it all started.

The rash turned "red-er" 3 days ago, like sunburn. I went to see Dr Hiak at HL clinic, he concluded that the rash could be allergy to the antibiotics. Came home with some anti itch medicines. However the rash did not turn better, instead the skin started to dry and flake.

This morning went back to Dr Hiak, he diagnosed that the rash is not allergy but seborrhoeic dermatitis. Now the inflammation of the face sought of better but flaky skin still continue...

Not sure how long this will last...brothers and sisters, please pray for this condition to be healed soonest, in Jesus Name. ...otherwise birthday take photos not nice liao.....
