A friend Loveth at all times Proverbs 17:17


Happy Valentine's day to all my dearest frens and family!!
Let us do everything in love and love one another, for love comes from God.


I thank God for all of you esp Z3! I love you guys and hope we will continue to spur each other on and grow in the Lord!
Friends in the Lord share a special love..Amen




Calvin Dearest, this is our very 1st Vday as a married couple.

Thanks so much for your lovely gifts! I like it very very much..I hope you like yours too.

Love you and thanks for all your patience and loving me the way I am. I pray that God will always be the focus of our marriage; that we will be a blessing to others as He showers us with his blessings.



Dun worry...You've still got it and I still love it..Haha!!

Above all things put on Love

I often wonder: Which is better-To love or be loved??
I choose to love. Being loved is a luxury; to love is to be alive.

Love is a complicated affair and I agree to a certain extent, women are by large the most complex beings. We are generally more sensitive/emotional and need loads of reassurance esp from our love ones..(we also have super-vivid memory so aggravate us at your own expense Haa!!)
In a nutshell, the key to our hearts/all we reali want is a little TLC..tender loving care..get it?! Actions speak louder than words. Piece of advice: Dun try to understand us..Just Love Us :)

I think Love fails/disappoints us when we expect return from it or when we think we know all abt it. A couple in love both need to constantly pump in efforts aka renew the LOVE in their rsp. Quarrels are inevitable (We're all unique individuals) wats really important is to learn from the mistakes and cherish each other more!! The longer you've been together (when you think you know everything abt yr other half or have done all that you need) all the more you need to re-learn and to show more love.

Man fails but God doesnt. Ask God for more of His patience and love. Let HIM take charge of your rsp. Afterall a tested rsp goes a long way and love bears all things.

Whenever I have disagreement with Calvin, I will always fall back on the attributes I love about him/focus more on his positive attributes and less on the negatives. I have my own flaws likewise. LOVE is a matter of compromise;a continuous journey and I believe God's love binds us together.

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus for only God's love is unconditional and will never fail.
Theres reali no greater love than that. We all need more of God and less of us..
When times are good, we praise HIM. When times are bad, We still praise HIM.
Similarly we should choose to love regardless of how we feel.

LOVE...is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs-1 Corinthians 13:5

Relax..God is in Control

Dearest all,

Ahem...Im back ! (at least for now heehee)

I felt kinda confused lately as Im unsure of what job to go for..YUP YOU'VE GOT IT..IM FINALLY LOOKING FOR A JOB!!!!!!!!
Anyways I dun exactly enjoy all my past bank operations jobs however after few weeks of jobsearch I realised those jobs that come back to me are ALL bank operations jobs!! CMI

After "resting" for so long, part of me just wanted to accept any job that comes along..on the other hand I would like to hold and wait for perhaps a better offer aka a job which hopefully I can stay LONG enough! The challenge here is reali to find out my real job interest.
Like wat Seow says to me..its not getting a job thats tough for you but rather to stay in the job!! Guilty as charged.

Something caught my attention as I wandered into Mt Zion bookstore today.Cards/Bookmarks that read..

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding
Proverbs 3:5

Have No Anxiety About Anything but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God..Philippians 4:6

Casting all your care upon Him for he careth for you..1 Peter 3:7

I uttered a prayer immediately asking God to guide me in my jobsearch and grant me patience and above all, wisdom in my choice.I ask God to take over afterall He knows me best. I pray He will place me at a workplace where I can glorify Him in all that I do and make a difference to others..

Work is never fun; no matter how interesting yr job may be (Amen?)Everyone grows bored with it after sometime and job-hops however after a while, we all need to settle down and grow in the career/company.
I suppose the only thing that may keep us going on (besides the obvious Vit M reasons) is to draw unto God's strength!! We need to remind ourselves that everything happens for a reason. That is, no matter how terrible yr job situation may be, we are placed there for a purpose.
We are called to shine His Light and be His hands and feet.
Just do our best and leave the rest to HIM!
afterall Prayer changes things..only GOD can turn the situation around.

Thank God for making this Z3 retreat possible! I had a splashing time at the 3days 2nite retreat!! Its basically a short get-away/get together packed with Praise n Worship cum Devotion sharing cum Team Building activities. Hmm if I reali reali have to pick on something-its not enuff ZZZ..Lol. Thank God for the great bonding within Z3! I'm reali glad team 3 could make it in time to join us..though it was only for a short while..guess its the quality not quantity of time spent dat counts yeah!!

Also I'm so glad Lisa could join us even though shes reali busy (she even stayed for the 1st nite) and dat Huiping has stayed thru'out the whole retreat n even said her 1st prayer for the team during prayer session! Good job HP and Thank God for bringing her/all of us this far :)
















On our way to People's Association Holiday Chalet at Elias Road..Its a long ride to our destination (see even Phee and JR has dozed off..everyone needs a recharge!).

Poor Seow,its reali a challenge to drive the church van (non power-steering goodness..Hes has since learn to appreciate our SX4 more haha)..He sheepishly managed a "cheers" sign even though Hes perspiring profusely..(We all are..but its nothing comparable to U..thanks dear!)






Ahem..this very 'artistic' drawing is done by moi haha :) We are into our 2nd day of retreat (Time to tap our creative juices!) our 1st team building session where each of us has to pinpoint a part of the body dat best describes the others as well as weakness of this particular member of the body.

Phee: Dun say I'm the armpit ..cos Im short ah!

Svh: I dunno leh..err..hmm I must say Phyllis is the ass**(everyone burst out into immediate laughter!! Phyllis is stunNed..I could almost hear her exclaim U beta give me a good explanation Niao-dan!!!)

Everyone else: SheeEEeeet....

Svh: Wait wait...listen 1st!!Ass** is a VERY veri important and understated part of the body..it always does unglam things yet w/o it the body cant function properly.. (Guess he did redeemed himself afterall but still...)
Oh btw..Svh, U still owe Huiping a reply..which part of the body is she?? We're all so curious haha.. cmon U can do beta than "I dunno leh" LOL (kindly refer to z3 blog for evidence...)
