i am excited n grateful at e way things r turning out tis few days..had a good time celebrating hwee keong's birthday on sat..finally, he shared..haha..thank God for jocelyn, friend of florence who had been joining us for past few weeks..hope to enfold her well..guess it's reali time to rise up and take care of more ppl, not just myself, even jacky, shewyn, joanne..as well..

been contemplating e idea of starting a venture..tinking of sports..but not sure what is it yet..but thankful for e time dat i had w my new adv manager on sat..it's just nice after zewei's sharing on thurs abt being forward n outward-looking..his humbling yet transforming moments in his shangha's trip abt walking w Him in e marketplace n what does it mean for us..she shared dat she's running her snow sports,skating business..my heart just gets e adrenaline rush when she shared those experiences..tink she belongs to e high net worth income earners bracket..gosh, e ppl she reali knows n e lifestyle she is living, reali life to the fullest..coaching ppl after work..go overseas for trips/training..i should be dreaming n seriously start thinking abt it..i'm in a position i can offer e availability, flexibility w not too heavy work commitment..what am i doing other than e usual rumbling n complaining? time for a changed perspective..

was glad dat e hope league idea comes along..dat's exciting..down here, who knows when we gonna do e league..takes forever i guess..gosh..but i can just start in our community..if tis kickstarts well, that could lead to other things as well..networking, other ventures..our church can only grow bigger, now 3,300 strong..gosh..dat's a lot of potential here..wonder n praying dat our pastors w'd have good plans to develop n grow us effectively, even e finances, w'd reali be put to gd use..to fuel further kingdom growth..

thankful for e time dat i had w e tertiary brothers whom i still taking care, swee leong n hongtao..though there are limitations to it, not on the ground..but i am encouraged n refreshed to always hear their ventures for Him, managing all e different plates in their lives..hope to ctd to do my part..feels good when i was able to give hongtao some info abt e sports hub..hope dat helps for his fyp thesis topic..it's instances like tis dat makes my stay here a bit more worthwhile..helping fellow tertiary bros,sis w their proj..provide lobang-job opening,biz..a lot more i can do n want to..tink most ppl w'd 've known of e 'work' i do here, i just hope in e coming yr..i can sharpen my relationship mgmt/people skills better..master CRM n event planning well oso..start some ventures whether sport-related or ministry..go for language, biking n sport courses..

e idea of my possible vision of impacting e youths just get more refined, perhaps incl other areas which i've yet to find..thankful dat tis job gives me tis space to find out as i try out different projects, learning different stuf each time..planning for march's sports youth conference is one such an example, allows such avenue,interest to grow n watered..interacting w those RP youths, bouncing off ideas..hearing from them..they reali have lots of energy n interesting insights..just feel energized in e interactions to hear them share their ideals, some innocence yet growing individuals in their veri rights..maybe can sow some seeds here n there..

yet do know e importance of staying grounded..keeping in step w Him..reminded whenever i hear such ideas and sharing..coping w tis zeal n energy..yest's sermon was good as those r things dat i have to cope with and manage well on a daily basis..to be victorious, speaking positively, having faith n in close fellowship w Christ n His ppl..those questions dat i posed to my director during one of e lunches last week just reinforced e need to do so..thank God for tis boss as i had done so for several occasions..thru his words n deeds can only reveal a lot abt his character, his values..one significant one is himself being quick to look at himself first instead of pointing e finger at others..quick to take e faults, self-reflect..gosh..tis is reali a weakness in me..i cannot help but want to learn from this Godly man in my midst..from him, learn wat does it mean to follow one's heart, find my call n why he ctd to stay here becos of his faith n vision in CEO,chairman..as he repeatedly make his point abt knowing yr life purpose as a must, more than e promotions n monetary rewards..i need to think deeper n learn to be drivne by His concepts than mine..wow..

tis young, bashful guy can only think n feel so much w all e seemingly overwhelming limitations whether is it personal fears, mel nature yet do know and want to believe in e God who has created him n choose to save,call,love him despite a fallen, disobedient heart many times..thankful and hope to walk w Him to greater heights in e coming mths n new year 2008..i can only choose to believe in what i cannot see as it's eternal than e temporal, here n now :)
