WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN

Wordy but SO TRUE... So I'll pass it on... To whoever reads this...

I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, 'This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received.' I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.

Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section. The angel then said to me, 'This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them. 'I noticed againhow busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.

Finally at the furthest end of the long corridor westopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing.

'This is the Acknowledgment Section,' my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed.
'How is it that there is no work going on here?' I asked.
'So sad,' the angel sighed. 'After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments.'
'How does one acknowledge God's blessings?' I asked.
'Simple,' the angel answered. Just say, 'Thank you,Lord.'
'What blessings should they acknowledge?' I asked.
'If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.' 'And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity.' 'If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ... you are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day.' 'If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ... you are ahead of 700 million people in the world.' 'If you can attend a church without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in theworld..' 'If your parents are still alive and still married.....you are very rare.' 'If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you're unique to all those in doubt and despair.'

Ok, what now? How can I start?
If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all. Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you care to, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.

ATTN: Acknowledge Dept.
'Thank you Lord, for giving me the ability to share this message and for giving me so many wonderful people with whom to share it.'

If you have read this far, and are thankful for all that you have been blessed with, how can you not send it on????

I thank God for everything, especially all my family and friends!!

Blessings with love...

Something interesting...

Chanced upon someone's quotes... I feel it's quite true... So do take some time to read through and ponder...

10 things I have learned from elderly parents and friends:
(1) Do it now. You won't always be able to do things you now take for granted.
(2) Develop a wide range of interests, some active and some sedentary, so you will always have something to look forward to.
(3) Make friends with younger people.
(4) Slow down and notice beautiful little things around you.
(5) Travel light -- throw and give things away. No one is going to build a museum in your honor.
(6) Think about what you can do, not what you can't.
(7) Don't worry about impressing people. They are not paying as much attention to you as you think.
(8) Be curious. The more you learn, the more questions you will have.
(9) Take care of your health. It will make a big difference in your quality of life. (10) Be positive.

Yeah!!!

2nd day at ERS

Just started my secondment in ERS... Havent been assigned on any jobs, think my experience in audit not very relevant... So been reading and reading abt the way how to do internal audit and stuff... Feel like in training whole day, but more of self-training... Self reading rather...

Generally much quieter during work but during lunch time it's pretty noisy... They go early lunch, but come back early as well. Working hours also seem more balanced... But they start late, end a bit later also la... Yep yep...

But one thing I dun really like is that the bosses will walk ard n look at ur laptop to see wat u're doing... showing their disapproval if u're not doing stuff relating to work... I mean in audit, it's understandable to take a break... I dunno... I think it's good n bad... Make sure you're focussed... Yep... So going back to read... it's endless... Knowledge is endless...

Starting the work day early...

Today dear had an interview in the east at 830... So he woke at 530 n planned to leave home at 6... So I thought of accompanying him... Halfway... Go office early la... So I reached ard 7am... The whole office was dark... Now off-peak le... So no one will come so early one... Yep, so checked emails... Ken's n mine, printed some stuff n ate my breakfast then got ready for work... But it was only 8... So now it's almost 12... And I feel so bored le... Like I've worked for a long long time...

Meeting dear for lunch... Late lunch... So sleepy and bored... Why today pass so slow??? Haiz... Wanna go watch movie later... Oh ya, shld call sinamex... Ok ok gt something to do le... Yeah... Looking forward to the new stuff next week... I needa get used to waking early, reach early... Can do much more... Yeah...

Life without internet

Ken's modem is down... So it explains why I always am checking his emails n printing doc for him n all stuff... Life without internet is tough... I wonder how I did it in the past... Hahahaha... Wonder how Ken does it... Hahaha... Oh ya, he got PSP now... Fighting the germans... Yep, that's keeping him busy... But at least he doesnt use that as an excuse not to go out with me... Hee....

Managed to catch a show with him on Mon!!! Hahaha... Just watched the show that fitted our timing... Didnt realised that it was a XXX show... Was shocked by the things we saw in the movie... It was a real-life story that happened in the past... Nice plot... But the scenes were a little disturbing... Hahaha... We came out of the show then we checked the tixs n we understood why... Hahaha... I seem to start talking in parables... Hmmm... Nvm... I wanna watch red cliff... But when??? Haiz...

Lesson learnt the hard way...

Haiz.... Ok... I was being too nice... According to Ken... Did something wrong... Something done out of good intention but it went one big round and came back n shot myself... Was quite upset over the whole incident... But it's settled... Learnt my lesson... The media which you choose to communicate information is very very impt... Shant talk abt it any more... It's history... But I really learnt my lesson... And it doesnt pay to be nice to the ppl ard you... Hmmmm...

Hurt some ppl or rather saboed some ppl along the way... Felt really bad... Just wanna apologise to them... Made them so busy to settle this problem... Dun think they'll ever read this... But just to make myself feel better...

I'm really sorry for adding more work to you... I really appreciate you for looking out for me... And really touched the way you talked to me... Although I did something wrong... But you nvr scolded me... You saw the reason why I did it... You were so understanding and encouraged me even though you had to explain to higher mgmt... I really thank you from the bottom of my heart for the things which you have done for me... Sorry for all the trouble and heart pain i caused you... I promise you that i will treasure my time there and do my best...

I know it's case closed and time to move on... And I cant others abt what exactlly happened... But I thank God for ppl who stood by me during the short period of time of trial... Think only 2 other ppl know abt this thing other than the ppl involved... One is my colleague sitting next to me... Another is my dear...

I know that nice ppl still exist, but you're a rare species... And I met 2... Great ppl... I couldnt eat nor sleep well last nite... And each email I received, my heart pounded so quickly... I was really worried... I prayed myself to sleep last nite... Deep inside I knew that God is in control... And God has brought it to past, it will not be taken away from me... But the circumstances just gave me no peace and I was really really worried... Nvr felt that for a long long time le... But after this... Now at hindsight, i should have just trusted God more... Have more faith... Well, easy to say that now... Hahaha... Anyway, it's really a lesson learnt... The hard way, but things worked out fine now...

Hahahaha... I think very difficult to understand this post... But it's ok... It's for me to remember the stupid mistake that I committed... And I'll nvr do that ever again... I've learnt... Really... Learnt... Sorry for the trouble to the 2 nicest ppl ard...

Being a leader

Just came back from BS... Felt so inspired... Although the lesson was a little long, but I felt there was impartation... Great... Kim Hock shared about prophets... Towards the end, he shared abt "A prophet affects people's destinies" MOSES... He couldnt get into the promised land cos he struck a stone instead of just speaking to it... It's seems God is so cruel... Dun let Moses in cos of such a small thing?! It's so so so unfair? He led the stubborn ppl for so many years!!! How can God do such a thing to him? But Kim Hock told us that Moses is a leader, the people look up to him. Everything that he does matter... As such, he has to watch the words he says, the way he conducts himself, the thoughts that goes thru his mind, etc... To be a leader means you have lesser room for mistake... Cos ppl's destinies are affected by you... Leadership comes with great responsibility...

Then he shared abt Elisha following after Elijah... He kept his eyes fixed on the man of God... And thus received a double portion of anointing... And the scary thing is... After being in church for some time... Ppl will tend to become comfortable, no longer hungry or pursuing God... This is scary...

I pray that I will always covet for God's presence, his power, anointing, hand to be with me... In everything that I do... I wanna be near Him... After the BS, we prayed n prayed for breakthru to come to everyone of us... I made a decision... I wanna be more strict with myself... My enemy is myself... Every year I want to be better than I was last year... Always pushing myself to go the extra mile, to do greater things than I did last year...

Looking back... It's already 7.5 months into the year... I thank God for sustaining me through this year... Indeed it was not easy being a senior... I'm glad I stayed... This year, I truly have enlarged... In work, ministry, cg... Every aspect... I shld be getting my driving licence soon... In a few weeks' time... Then my CPA by the end of the year... Went for 2 holidays this year!!! Though short ones, but it was fun... Drew much closer to Ken... Oh ya, engaged this year... In the next few months, i will be doing internal audit... Something new... And after that, maybe take a half month break, go for Asia Conference... Then start my new job... Probably in Dec... Maybe earlier... Or later... Depends on job demand ba... I pray that I can be an asset to the new company I join... N I can get a good job... God will lead... God will provide... God is my God... My Abba Father... He knows what's best for me... He's the One... Guiding me, walking with me... I thank Him each day for helping me... :) Hugs...
