Have you seen a baby that is learning to walk?
When we were younger, it's easier to trust other people. Just like those babies that are learning to walk. They hold tight to the hand of an adult, and trust that, that adult won't let go and let them fall.
Trusting God seems to be easier when we were younger. As we grow... we gained knowledge, have understanding... and sometimes find it hard to trust God. Because we begin to reason... at times struggle in trusting God.
Gen 22:6-10
... Abraham placed the wood for the burnt offering on Issac's shoulders, while he himself carried the knife and the fire. As the two if them went on together, Isaac said, "Father?"
"Yes, my son," Abraham replied.
"We have the wood and the fire, "said the boy, "but where is the lab for the sacrifice?"
"God will provide a lamp, my son," Abraham answered. And they both went on together.
When they arrived at the place where God had told Abraham to go, he built an altar and placed the wood on it. Then he tied Isaac up and laid him on the altar over the wood. And Abraham took the knife and lifted it up to kill his son as a sacrifice to the Lord. At that moment the angle of the Lord....
In this verse it's does not only shows Abraham's obedience being tested... but also show that Isaac, trusted his father when his father told him that God will provide.
When Abraham tied him up, the bible did not say that Isaac tried to escape... if I were Isaac, I would have asked my father... "eh, what are you doing?" I believe, Isaac did not doubt his father's word.
I want to trust Him more.
If you continue to read on, God provided for Abraham... and Isaac did not become the sacrifice. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, mind and soul and all things will be added unto you.

Living?
Living in 21st century, our life is spelled as BUSY.As we grow older, our life get more and more busy.
Trying to keep the first things first?
If we work harder, work faster and smarter? will we be able to keep the first things first?
Busy Busy Busy, that's the word we often tell people and words that we hear all the time... Even a teenager will tell us, that they are busy.
Ever wonder what why life is so busy? I did... but then, that's just life. We just need to work around it. Manage it and tap on God's grace.
Someone once told me, we are suppose to live life, not letting busyness get into us...

Change Your World IPOH
Change Your World IPOH!!!!
CYW Ipoh was held at Syuen Hotel, Ipoh.
Thank God that in this CYW i was able to stay back and join then for the Venture. Really thankful to God that I can be part of CYW
The hall was soon packed with 800 young people, mainly high school students i believe, How I know?? I spend the night keying in data... hahahah
As usual, as performers, we are attract cameras... hahahah yes, this is what we usually do in back stage, we prepare ourselves for the night... we prayed... and we play =P
Monday was venture time... we visited drugs rehab center and deliver food to some poor family in one of the village in Ipoh. It was truly an eye opening experience for me.
During our visit, I felt we are just doing TnG thing. We went, see look see look give them the food and leave.
Felt God was saying to me, many times our compassion is also like TnG. When we see someone in need, we felt for them at the moment... but we just pass them by. When we go back to our normal routine, we will once again be so caught up with our own agendas, overwhelm by our problems. As much as i wanted to have a conversation with those ex-addicts, and the children in the village... I did not do so.
I learn to be thankful for what I have... and be a blessing to those who are in need. Hopefully able to give a glimpse of God's love to those who are hurting, sick etc...
Lord, enlarge my heart...
Help me live a larger life.
Next up, we will be heading to KLUANG! catch more updates on Change Your World tour at www.changeyourworld.com.my

Long Tiring Tuesday
Had a long day today. I was so distracted @_@ couldn't focus on my work. So many phone calls... so many things needed to look into.
We had new cleaner. Since he is new, got to teach him... tell him where are the things kept... make sure he is ok... just can't really focus.
In the evening rush to IOI Mall to get dance costume with Nina before the rehearsal... And to make things worse, I was over-dozed with chocolate -_-" was super drowsy!
Anyway, but I think I ended the day well.
Yay! I manage to make someone smile again today.
Was at IoI mall with Nina... (we were there for abt 15 mins only...) when we were waiting in line to pay the parking, the lady in front of me didn't have any small changed, I felt I needed to offer her small changed. Since I have a lot of small changed so I just offer her some. She was happy! and glad =)
But having to say that... I didn't make my Ka Che smile =(
in fact i make her angry ='(
Thank God for Doreen... she bought her flower to cheer her up. Little act of thoughtfulness, changes the mood.
I am still not good at that. Still learning to look beyond and live a larger life.

My off Day... 08.03.10
I started my day early today. Usually on my off day I will only wake up past 10am.
Had morning appointment with a friend in McD, and finally I get to enjoy McD BREAKFAST! yum... yupe, Love McD breakfast =D
Did something that I never done before...
I was suppose to buy ally lunch and meet her at hear house, so went to Asam House tapau noodle and I thought, some kaya balls for Hannah would be good as well. But after I buy everything, Ally sms and said that Hannah gonna take a nap... not a good time to go over. Lunch was canceled. Since I am already there in IOI mall so decided to walk around... While I was walking in Jusco aimlessly, I passed by an auntie who works there at the mall and I felt the nudge in my heart to give the kaya balls to her... so I reversed... walk towards her and gave her the bag of kaya balls. Obviously she was surprise. She asked in Cantonese "why are you giving me this?" Me: "Erm... I have extra... can't finish. Don't worry is clean i just bought it =D" she took it, thank me and she was happy.
I was glad that I am able to put a smile in that auntie's face. She really looked very "sien".
Didn't really have the time to sip coffee or read... because I was tired! and was out almost whole day.
Ended my day with celebrating Jorleen's and Arlyne's birthday.
Hmmm it's good to be home... be back in my room... having solitude time.
Pray that, the Lord will watch over that auntie... bless her with good health, in Jesus name. Amen

Saturday after SNL...
I felt it has been a long week for me.
Needed to get some time for myself, just to think, to be refresh...
In a way, I am glad that Monday is coming. But this coming Monday I will have to get my passport done. Meaning, can't be on the bed for long.
Really thank God for his provision. Now that I have a car to use. I pray that I will be a blessing to others.
Pastor preached about COMPASSION tonight. Do I have compassion? Actually I always wanted to help others... serve others... and be a blessing to them. Is that compassion?
It is true that there are times I was too catch up and overwhelm by my own little problems, and forgot about the needs of others. All of the sudden I shrink... living in my own small world. I pray and hope that I will not shrink, but continue to love to have compassion. I guess I still have a space in my heart for a little more compassion. Really don't want to shrink into my small little world.
Life is toooooooooo short to live for myself. Got to live a larger life.

My personality?? Personality Test
Portrait of an ESFP - Extraverted Sensing Feeling Perceiving
(Extraverted Sensing with Introverted Feeling)
The Performer
As an ESFP, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you take things in via your five senses in a literal, concrete fashion. Your secondary mode is internal, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit with your personal value system.
ESFPs live in the world of people possibilties. They love people and new experiences. They are lively and fun, and enjoy being the center of attention. They live in the here-and-now, and relish excitement and drama in their lives.
ESFPs have very strong inter-personal skills, and may find themselves in the role of the peacemaker frequently. Since they make decisions by using their personal values, they are usually very sympathetic and concerned for other people's well-being. They're usually quite generous and warm. They are very observant about other people, and seem to sense what is wrong with someone before others might, responding warmly with a solution to a practical need. They might not be the best advice-givers in the world, because they dislike theory and future-planning, but they are great for giving practical care.
ESFP is definitely a spontaneous, optimistic individual. They love to have fun. If the ESFP has not developed their Thinking side by giving consideration to rational thought processing, they tend to become over-indulgent, and place more importance on immediate sensation and gratification than on their duties and obligations. They may also avoid looking at long-term consequences of their actions.
For the ESFP, the entire world is a stage. They love to be the center of attention and perform for people. They're constantly putting on a show for others to entertain them and make them happy. They enjoy stimulating other people's senses, and are extremely good at it. They would love nothing more than for life to be a continual party, in which they play the role of the fun-loving host.
ESFPs love people, and everybody loves an ESFP. One of their greatest gifts is their general acceptance of everyone. They are upbeat and enthusiastic, and genuinely like almost everybody. An ESFP is unfailingly warm and generous with their friends, and they generally treat everyone as a friend. However, once crosesed, an ESFP is likely to make a very strong and stubborn judgment against the person who crossed them. They are capable of deep dislike in such a situation.
The ESFP under a great deal of stress gets overwhelmed with negatives thoughts and possibilities. As an optimistic individual who lives in the world of possibilities, negative possibilities do not sit well with them. In an effort to combat these thoughts, they're likely to come up with simple, global statements to explain away the problem. These simplistic explanations may or may not truly get to the nature of the issue, but they serve the ESFP well by allowing them to get over it.
ESFPs are likely to be very practical, although they hate structure and routine. They like to "go with the flow", trusting in their ability to improvise in any situation presented to them. They learn best with "hands-on" experience, rather than by studying a book. They're uncomfortable with theory. If an ESFP hasn't developed their intuitive side, they may tend to avoid situations which involve a lot of theoretical thinking, or which are complex and ambiguous. For this reason, an ESFP may have difficulty in school. On the other hand, the ESFP does extremely well in situations where they're allowed to learn by interacting with others, or in which they "learn by doing".
ESFPs have a very well-developed appreciation for aesthetic beauty, and an excellent sense of space and function. If they have the means, they're likely to have to have many beautiful possessions, and an artfully furnished home. In general, they take great pleasure in objects of aesthetic beauty. They're likely to have a strong appreciation for the finer things in life, such as good food and good wine.
The ESFP is a great team player. He or she is not likely to create any problems or fuss, and is likely to create the most fun environment possible for getting the task done. ESFPs will do best in careers in which they are able to use their excellent people skills, along with their abilities to meld ideas into structured formats. Since they are fast-paced individuals who like new experiences, they should choose careers which offer or require a lot of diversity, as well as people skills.
ESFPs usually like to feel strongly bonded with other people, and have a connection with animals and small children that is not found in most other types. They're likely to have a strong appreciation for the beauties of nature as well.
The ESFP has a tremendous love for life, and knows how to have fun. They like to bring others along on their fun-rides, and are typically a lot of fun to be with. They're flexible, adaptable, genuinely interested in people, and usually kind-hearted. They have a special ability to get a lot of fun out of life, but they need to watch out for the pitfalls associated with living entirely in the moment.
Jungian functional preference ordering:
Dominant: Extraverted Sensing
Auxiliary: Introverted Feeling
Tertiary: Extraverted Thinking
Inferior: Introverted Intuition
Auxiliary: Introverted Feeling
Tertiary: Extraverted Thinking
Inferior: Introverted Intuition
I took a personality test some years ago... above it's what it says about my personality. what do you think?? hmmm??

DFC 3rd anniversary
Attended DFC 3rd anniversay last Sunday. It was amazing how talented those drummers were.
The phrase two are better than one kept ringing in my mind.
To do great things, we need a team. Being hero will not take us far.
Just like that night. 1 drum may sounds boring after while, but then 2 or 3 drums being put together, it create a total new sound and was amazing.
TWO ARE BETTER THAN ONE
