Been listening to a series of sermons with Andy Stanley on managing your finances in a God-directed way. Without being LOST. Definition of LOST: Not sure of where you are and how to get to where you want to be. Now, I've always thought I've managed my finances well. I'm careful. I save for days where I have no income. I record my transactions. I try to balance my account each month. But it got to the point where I was scrimping, and giving was quite unthinkable[unless it was building fund and tithes. God's grace was still upon my heart] Wise people like my mom and my friends have told me to let go of the grip I have on money developed through the years of need in uni. It's not easy. The past 3 years have been really tough. It might be easy for some people to work and try to support yourself while maintaining good grades in uni, but it was super tough for me to balance work, uni and ministry. Financial stress was threatening me all the time in my heart. But God ha al...

Jos, Vania and I tried on the wedding finery. For me, thankfully, it pretty much fit. I think I look pretty chubby in it tho. Not half as glam as the women in the pictures posted up here... It's time to get the exercise and toning happening after this wedding is over. Sigh. Reality bites. I am now the weight I was in Adelaide. Need to lose 4 kilos...me thinks.But I'm also quite comfortable in my skin atm. So, getting some exercise happening will be sufficient. Shan't diet. :) It's weird. 4 and half years ago, Jos and Fab got together. I had only known them for a few months. This couple has blessed my life richly. It's greta to see them finally take this step. Especially Jos, who has been this really consistent friend of mine. Makes me think about the inevitable questions: "When's my turn?What will it be like?Who will it be?" ^_^ Only God knows.

I forgot all about this old poem a friend and I wrote almost 4 years ago. Yea...that long. It was in 2005. At that time, Daniel 1 caregroup was multiplying and Daniel 5 would be born. We had 2 guy groups, D-DOG and D-vine; and 2 girl groups, D-light and Shaphael. I was part of Shaphael. D-DOG and Shaphael would form Daniel 5. So we had a farewell night where each side did nice thing for each other and expressed our appreciation. I was racking my head about some cool thing to do. My friend and I decided to right this "high - falutin' "poem. I don't know if half the people got it. But, we tried! Hehe....enjoy.[Btw, the Korean Master, Jennifer and Hannah were CGF's and ACGL at that time. Hence the special mention] Although we part on this fateful night You'll always be my heart's Delight And the food you made for us to dine Will be remembered as deliciously divine In your lives, our beloved D-Vine May the love of God always shine Fairest maidens, our preciou...
