Blessed Lunar New Year

First of all, Blessed Lunar New Year and have a properous year ahead!

This year's CNY is abit different from the past. Why? Coz normally I would have finish my visiting on the 1st day (which I still do) but on the 2nd day I went with my girlfriend (Maomi) to visit her relatives and also mine. Of coz got more angbaos but that's not the point. I get to see and know more of her external family members. We want to build up a closer bond within the family members for both sides. Thus, on the 3rd day me and Maomi only visit my fren's place (yes, the only fren I visit during this CNY period so my fren is a privileged one. No la, it's my honour that she invited me to her house. haha) After that fetched Maomi to her "7 sisters CNY gathering" (spouses not allowed, sob sob..). Reached home at 2pm and KOed till 5pm.

My lil sis brought her gal fren back to stay over on CNY day 2 and her mother came over to my house to bring her go visiting of her relatives. Though not so problematic already (no glue, no guys, no gals stayover), but still quite problematic. Yesterday evening went out and didn't came home till 3pm today and went out again at 4pm. She said she went to follow the lion dance and "chu1 shi1". They'll get ang baos for helping out but that doesn't mean not coming back home to sleep. My dad is going to give an ultimatum (dunno isit this spelling), to let her choose which route she wanna go.
Choice 1: Back to school
Choice 2: Learn hairdressing
Choice 3: Girls' Home
Hmmm.... dunno there'll be war when she comes back or peace treaty. Now is almost 1030 and she's not back yet. I think my mum waiting for her to come back then lao yu sheng. sigh, I wanna lao yu sheng.......

Oh yar, tomorrow is my FIRST day of work! at my dad's company but going to start a humble beginning. I think is do watever the workers are doing. (send goods, help out, etc - This way I have to be disciplined enough to go and learn about the people and also about the products).

Peace

Finally today there's peace in the family. The girls went back to their respective home in the late morning and my lil sis stayed at home and sleep till dinner time where we go grandma's place for reunion dinner.

Couldn't stand the ulcers and the fever, thus went to the nearby clinic. $30 for pain cum panadol tablets and cream for ulcer. I was in the room for less than 5min. Wow, really easy money for the doctor man.

The pussy willow is also up with decor liao. Now, my lil sis confirm stop sch for one year. Since no interest in study, can go learn hairdressing. Though it's not a normal route where most singaporean kids are, at least it's not something illegal or lazing around.

Also take this opportunity to wish everyone a Blessed Lunar New Year!

Tired and falling sick.....

This morning I was woken up by my mum, saying that if my lil sis still bring her 2 frens back tonite, she going to move out to sleep. Let her run the whole show in the house. When I heard it, it was like," So early in the morning telling me such a ridiculous thing." After hearing that cannot sleep liao, woke up and talked to my mum. Telling her that tonite they should be going home liao coz tmr is reunion dinner. Go back to their family to collect ang bao since teenagers regard money as a very important thing.

Early afternoon went with my girlfren to run some errands. Bringing her to see my grandparents while passing new year goodies to them. They were very delighted to see that I brought my girlfren. My grandmother (dad's side) also asked me how my lil sis coz she said my dad is very "gek sim"(heartbroken in hokkien). Hmmm...even my grandmother also so concerned. A person's own actions can affect so many people. I told my grandmother that she's not studying liao. She said, dun study then dun study. She herself also never study.

When I told my dad about this, he said that," never study is ok. BUT not showing respect, rude and irresponsible is totally unacceptable." Many a times, my dad would have flared up if such things happened to me or my other sis but for her, he kept his cool and tried to be very nice to her. Catering to her needs.

Really tired and think I falling sick. These few days lack of sleep and stressed up to see my parents feeling so depressed. I wanted to make my parents forget about all these for the time being by accompanying them to buy new year goodies, buying pussy willow. I volunteered to pluck the shells out. Wanted to put up the decorations to make it more lunar new year experience, my dad said no need. No point. No mood to celebrate so why bother.

Hmmm..... headache and feverish. Going to pop 2 panadols and go rest liao.

A new hope?

After yesterday's incident (replying of the note), my mum was saying that since there's a response, I can either talk to them face to face and relate to them or write another letter. It was early morning 730am when my mum told me that. The girls came back around 7am and were sleeping coz they didn't dare come back home. My sis called my dad whether can she come home coz the nite before she said she not coming back home liao. She brought her frens in and kept all the phone handhelds to prevent the mothers from calling.

I was thinking how to relate to them in a cool and mild manner. I seek God for a solution. As I was going back school to collect my transcript in the late afternoon, I know that they wun be awake before I go. Thus, I decide to write a letter. I seek God for His divine wisdom (James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him) as I was thinking of what to write. And I prayed that the letter would minister to the 3 of them. I gave 3 books (2 books of : Every teenagers' little black book on How to get along with your parents and Every teenagers' little black book on Dating and sex). Don't know whether they will read but I pray that God will go before me to even do the work that He wants to do.

Right now, my other sis (blogger of eeyoreland) is taking the 3 of them for a shopping spree coz my lil sis haven't bought her new year clothes. My parents are taking things in a cool manner and going to explain to them that tomorrow they have to go back home coz saturday is reunion dinner. No matter how much dislike or hatred should also go back and eat reunion dinner and collect ang baos! After that wanna come back again, the doors are open. Hee.


Just now went to pass my commissioned repaint to a forum member. I'm glad he liked it alot and he said he felt honoured to own such a piece. I really felt that my efforts are worth it. It's really great to see a fellow toy collector to share the same passion.

Think quite stressed by so much stuff recently. Got 3 ulcers in my mouth (ok, partly also due to lack of water and sleep). Will drink lots of water so that can eat new year goodies when CNY comes. yeah!

Kill, Steal & Destroy

Reunion dinner is in 3 days time and CNY is in 4 days time. For the 2nd consecutive year, I've not felt the real festive and joyous feeling in the family. Last year my mum was affected by my little sis's havok ways that she stopped what she had been doing for the CNY routine the previous few years. She didn't make love letters, new year goodies or stuff that she's good in. Even the new year decor are all very last min bought and put up.

This year, the atmosphere is still tense. My mum gave her an ATM which had her Ang Bao money consolidated for the past few years few months ago. Within 2 weeks, she spent 1.2k away. Ok, $160 was on doing her hair. But the rest that were withdrawed didn't know where it went to. Immediately, my mum managed to keep the card and only give her the allowance card which has less than $20 in it. My mum only top up not more than $20 each time she needs it. With the coming of CNY and of coz uncles and aunties giving ang baos, my parents really do not know how to stop her. Only way is for all relatives not to give us ang baos and we do not give out too. I know that'll be quite sour but really..... there aren't any feasible alternatives left.

Quoting from a forum fren's post
"well, for your sis, i would not give an inch of respect if it's not reciprocated. if i got to shame, i'll shame. got to put her pride in the right place. anyway, since she hopes to learn hairdressing, well, got to give her a chance and see how. if not, just boot her off to gal's home. not to shed responsibilities but letting her learn what it is and to keep her from stray friends and stuff. if she doesn't learn from gal's home, what makes you think she gonna learn it from your home? keep the money purse tight and stand firm on it. tell her that if she ain't studying, she got to earn her keep."

Left the note on the table for a few days, this morning I saw a handwritten note below it. Should be written by my lil sis
"Hey, just WTH is about all these. do you really think girls home can change da teenagers? YOU'RE TOTALLY WRONG KAYS! Go ask mummy about what I and my friend had told about we teenager. She have hears lots of it from us okay! YOU ALL JUST DON't UNDERSTAND WE TEENAGER! Please think about why we teenager do such things! Okays! Think about it lorhs! I DON'T WANNA TALK MUCH TO ALL! You all just always act as if you all do really understand us! It's all s**t!! That's what I can say. Da way you all think about we teenager is SUCKS!"

Since the last time, from 4 girls (including my sis), now left we 3 in our house. 1 of them had a quarrel with my lil sis and she chase her away already. The girl came from a hostel (one level below girl's home category type). The other 2 whom are still staying, let's refer as A & B. A is quarrel with her mum that's why dun wanna go home. B since young has been sold away to a family without child. B never know who her real parents are. B also dun like her home and dun wanna go home. My sis being the loyal type dun wan them to go back and suffer that's why keep them in. Even juz now when I saw B's foster parents came and wanna bring her back, 2 of them go in the room talk for some time, come out still the 2 of them. Saw the foster mum with tissue wiping tears. Dunno whether they'll be calling the police to come my house or wat. I also dunno what to say........

Thus our home has recently become orphanage for the teens. I think cannot counter with violence or laws but with love and prayer already. 3 posts ago, I blogged that Satan is finding ways to kill, steal and destroy.

Satan hopes that there'll be quarrels (I can see that thru parents and child, and even within my parents. Me being the eldest child of the family and only Christian, it just dawned upon me that I dun wan to see Satan's plan come to past. Peacefully, I took the opportunity to speak to my parents individually about not to vent the frustration on each other but to love and support each other. It's true that you're angry and may even wanna put the blame on your other partner at times, but dun use the angry words on your partner. It hurts.)

Satan hopes that thru quarrels come destruction. Thru destruction comes death. It may not mean physical death but death of your inner self spirit. The spirit of love will just fade and die if destruction is so strong.

For those who are reading the blog, the only thing I ask is that thru the post it will remind you about
your family (how you're treating ur family members),
about love (how you're treating your love ones - taking them for granted? or really showing ur appreciation?)

For us Asians, many of us (not saying all) are still quite conservative in terms of expressing our appreciation to our family and love ones. One may say action speaks louder than words. But words are still very powerful and impactful form of tool (be it using it positively or negatively to all aspects and areas of your life). Don't let Satan creep into your life, into your family to kill, steal and destroy. Keep us in prayer if you wanna offer a little help.

Food for thoughts 3 (regards to smoking)

Singapore Law states that it is an offence for anyone who is below 18 years old to smoke. Anyone who is caught smoking below that age will be fined $300.

Question: If you're a parent, and you report to the police that your child is smoking at home (coz no matter soft/hard methods that you try, the child still would not kick the habit), do you pay the $300? Wouldn't it be like going to the police and giving them $300 to give your child a warning?


Which scenario will you prefer? (sorry, no option c and to add on to the situation is that the frens that she brings home are all school dropouts. Not your normal guai kia.)

Option A: Your teenage daughter goes out and stays over at fren's house till the next day come back. You, as a parent, do not know where she is and what she's doing.

Option B: Your teenage daughter brings frens home (guys and girls) and sleep as though you run an orphanage. Many of them gather together to smoke in the toilet (when parents around) and smoke in her air-con room when parents not around.

Satan's Meeting

Satan called a worldwide convention of demons.

In his opening address he said, "We can't keep Christians from going to church."

"We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth."

"We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their savior."

"Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken."

"So let them go to their churches; let them have their covered dish
dinners,BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ."

"This is what I want you to do," said the devil:

"Distract them from gaining hold of their Savior and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!"

"How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.

"Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds," he answered.

"Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow."

"Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week,10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles."

"Keep them from spending time with their children."

"As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work!"

"Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small voice."

"Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive."

"To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home and see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical music constantly."

"This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ."

"Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers."

"Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day."

"Invade their driving moments with billboards."

"Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order catalogs, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products,services and false hopes."

"Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty is what's important, and they'll become dissatisfied with their wives."

"Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night." Give them headaches too!

"If they don't give they husbands the love they need, they will begin to look elsewhere."

"That will fragment their families quickly!"

"Give them Santa Clause to distract them from teaching their children the real meaning of Christmas."

"Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about his resurrection and power over sin and death."

"Even in their recreation, let them be excessive."

"Have them return from their recreation exhausted."

"Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on God's creation.Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies instead."

"Keep them busy, busy, busy!"

"And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences."

"Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Jesus."

"Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause."

"It will work!" "It will work!"

It was quite a plan!

The demons went eagerly to their assignments cau! sing Christians
everywhere to get busier and more rushed,going here and there. Having little time for their God or their families.
Having no time to tell others about the power of Jesus to change lives.

I guess the question is, has the devil been successful in his schemes?

You be the judge!!!!!

Does "BUSY" mean:

B-eing
U-nder
S-atan's
Y-oke?

A year older...

Oh my.... I can't believe I've actually lived more than a quarter of a century liao. Today marks my 26th birthday. Nothing special or extraordinary happened. Just finished up a commissioned piece of repainted toy (black zarak version 2). If I'm free, will post a gallery of it soon. Done a MAE poster for my prof and emailed to him last week. Still waiting for my teacher aide payment to come soon ($400). Hope that I can tell myself to book an IPPT date next thursday and clear it with at least an incentive. If not, when start work, very difficult liao.

Oh yar, the apple ice cream that u see on the pic is taken from Genki Sushi. Went there with my dear maomi for my birthday. Really a nice place. Great soft shell crabs and very thick and fresh Salmon! Recommended! But next time going to IKOI restaurant for japanese buffet at $30+++ at Miramar Hotel. Heard that it's very good. Tried to book the day before but it's fully booked! Next time shall try one week before I wanna go.

A pic with my dear after eating:
1 plate of soft shell crab
1 plate prawn spring roll thingy
2 chuwamushi
4 plates of salmon sushi
1 plate of salmon sashimi
1 plate of fried scallop wings
1 plate of salmon maki

Too bad I dun have Genki sushi card, or else I would have 20% discount coz it's my birthday!




My dear dear bought me a cup that says :" Love doesn't make the world go round but it is what that makes the ride worthwhile." Other side of the cup says:" For the special someone." Yeah, I got a personal cup already. Have been using the ikea cups since I moved into my current home. The 2 garfields also very cute rite? they look so identical! haha....


To my dearest Maomi: Thanks for accompany me and celebrating my birthday with me! I Love You!

Prime Time of the week

I was talking to my friend last week coz he was interested to coming to church thus I told him it's not sunday. Sunday is family day for every young adults to spend time with their parents/family. I said I go to 730pm saturday Young Adult Service. He said," Wah, 730pm saturday ah. Prime time man. See how la."

Suddenly, the thought that came to my mind was that in the society today, most of the people (teenagers to 30s) regard Saturday nights as the most precious time for the week. A night where one can havok till late without worrying of work the next day (coz is Sunday). And thus, young adults going for service at such a timing shows that they choose to give this most important time of the week to a church service where it can be vibrant and happening. Dun believe? Be there to witness yourself. They are definitely not geeks or nerds or boring or anything like that. Gurantee plus chop.

I was serving as celebration host yesterday and I happen to bump into Yanhan (Leon). Lost contact with him since he graduated from NIE. Quite surprised to see him there coz he's from another church. He said he's accompany 2 of his colleagues to attend this young adult service and after the service I chatted with him and he said he was blessed by the sermon and sharing. It also made me think that even in a church, you can get to see old friends in some ways or another.

So how do you spend your Prime Time of the week? Is it busy shopping? or slacking at home watching tv? Catching up with frens, updating the latest gossips or sale? or doing something meaningful that is larger than life?

My first IPPT Test of 2006

Realised that my IPPT is due before my birthday in few days' time, I booked the date last week. I was praying that the weather would be nice to be to let me take the test or else I'll have to take RT (20 sessions of 4 hours each for those who don't know). Today it was raining throughout and I called Maju camp asking will it still be on? Ya, I have to attend no matter wat or else I'll be deemed AWOL and it's a chargeable offence.

Yup, so I went and I..... cleared!!! yeah!!! Even though there was rain, it sort of cool the weather down. Managed to get Incentive though coz of my standing broad jump and running. After I tally with my previous test, I realised I dropped both my run and jump. Shucks, need more training liao. While I was out processing, saw ziyang as he's having his RT IPPT test. Hope he clear it once and for all, or else poor Grace have to wait for him while he goes for his routine RT.

Should be going for another IPPT test after my birthday. Probably before CNY. Then I can slack for another 1.5 years before my next IPPT. haha.

Regarding my work, yar... I did thought of the experience I can bring from outside into my dad's company if i were to work outside first. However, I feel that time is not on my side and I believe that with passion and willingness to improve, I can make a difference since a colleague in the company juz resigned early this year. I just do not want to be extra and take pay for nothing. I want to work for what I earn.

Dilemma

Dilemma Dilemma Number 1
After getting my results and finally graduated for 3 weeks liao, I've finally felt that enough of play already. Not a good feeling of being unemployed and not contributing to the society. Flipped the recruit section and cut alot of companies I wanna send my CV to. While I was writing CV for every company that I was interested in, it suddenly dawned upon me that whether I should actually be going out working for others instead of my dad's company.

Few factors that made me wanna work outside (at least for the 1st year)
1. Gain experience
2. Learn the way other companies function
3. Prove to my parents and friends that I need not depend on my dad. (even for job)

Factors that made me think otherwise
1. Since in the long term, I intend to work for my dad, why waste 1 or 2 years working/contributing to other company? I can use that time to learn from scratch and pick things up from there.
2. My dad is 60+ le, and I'm in my mid 20s, it would be beneficial to start soon.
3. Even though the salary may not be comparable to a fresh diploma graduate, I should overlook this coz my dad had loved me and brought me up, it's one way of showing my love too. I wish that I can bring the company to greater heights.
4. Working for other companies may not get the experience/exposure I want towards working for my dad's company.

However, I have to agree that there'll be expectation and cannot slack in the company. Have to step out of my comfort zone to mingle with both the workers and the office personel in the company. (interpersonal and communication skills come in). I also would like to improve whatever technical ways I can. All these takes time. Have to weigh all these costs and take the risk. If I were to take this route means I forgo status (being an engineer), professional salary (don't expect much) but more of wanting to serve and make a difference in the long run.

Dilemma Dilemma Number 2
My little sister has been giving my parents a big headache again. At 15 this year, and since the start of school, she had only attended school ONCE. Condemn the teacher and the class since then. Saying stupid rules and stupid students. That's not all, when she goes out, she will be back the following day (less than 24 hours) and she dun bother to answer the phone or call back that she'll not be coming back and stuff.

She had picked up smoking and my parents had resented to it liao. Now they only hoped that she dun pick up drugs. One may suggest to cut her allowance, but my dad scared that she'll do things illegally to get the money. Since young, whatever she wanted she gets it. You name it, she has it. (ranging from PSone, parrot, chinchillia, husky, mini coolie, high end phones)

Filed for Beyond Parental Control and was thrown into Girls' home for 3 months. Came out was "guai" for 1 week or so but after that began to show her old leopard spots. My parents love her alot and think that thru their own strength and will, they'll be able to change her. Dad became less hot tempered and didn't question much. Talk to her in a calm manner even though inside was very angry of why she treat the house like a hotel. My mum also tried talking to her and relating to her as a fren. My parents had done much more for her than they had done for us.

I think the problem besides being pampered also lies in the fact that the generation now seeks FREEDOM but do not want RESPONSIBILITIES. Even branded school students whom I had "taught" during their attachment in NTU feel the same way too. They want to do anything they feel like, say whatever they feel like without thinking of the consequences involved and how others might feel. In short, the world revolved around the unholy trinity. Me, myself and I. Whatever I feel is right. Whatever I do is MY business. No need to think of the future, what is important is now. Happy can liao. Right?

Last time if wanna break contact with bad company, one can just change phone number, ground the person. However with Internet (hmmm.....this is dunno how many time I said that it's a double edged sword), you can NEVER erase a person's contact with another if they want. Imagine friendster, msn messenger, IRC, emails, handphones. All these are too easily accessible. My lil sis's friendster got over 300 testimonials and nearly 500 frens! can you beat that? Any stranger can juz come add you into the friendster and msn list and a chat will be easily linked from there.

okok. enough of all these background info. My parents are in a dilemma whether should they put her in a girls home again. (of coz they dun want that to happen). Rather let her be there then ruining her life if she pick up drugs. Gave her 3 options.
1. Go back School
2. Go learn haircut (her "passion") (fee is about the price of uni fee i heard)
3. Go girls' home

Well, praying that she turns around and at least be more sensible and responsible. Not asking to quit smoking or whatever liao.

Feel free to say No!

Read in saturday straits times recruit article regarding this issue and I find it some of the points relevant to me coz many times I find it hard to reject a person's request. Imagine everything say yes, then you wouldn't even have time for yourself coz everyone either asking you to go out with them or helping them to some stuff. Thus summarizing the points that the author stated and share with everyone.

1. Develop a new respect for yourself
Revisit your personal boundaries and honour your commitments to yourself. Once you begin to respect yourself fully, others around you will find it easy to respect you. Thus, when you say no they wouldn't pressurize you.

2. Get your priorities right
Write down what is most important to you? Keep a copy with you at all times. Once you know what it is you want for yourself, it'll be easier to stop agreeing to things that will get in the way.

3. Take responsibility for yourself
When you realise that only you are responsible for yourself and for the tasks you take on, you will come to realise that saying yes to things you really want to say no to, is just a way of deferring making your own decisions.

4. Assert your right to ask for clarification or more information
This will buy you time to weisgh your options and priorities. It will also make it clear to other person that you are not agreeing to his request straight away.

5. Stop being nice
Not telling you to be evil or harsh. If often find yourself agreeing to things due to some need to be Mr/Ms Nice, the chances are you will follow through half-heartedly. This will not go down well with the person who asked you, and you will not feel good about yourself either.

6. Remember that you do not have to justify yourself
You have the right to say no without giving a reason for your answer.

7. Sandwich your response
Start answer by offering a positive comment to the person, followed by your decline, then a suggestion for an alternative.

8. Saying no does not reject the person
It simply refuses the request

9. Be assertive
Say what you want shortly and leaving out long explanations and apologies such as "I'm sorry, but...."

10. Practise
Say no in front of the mirror. Practise in real life - starting with smaller things and working your way up to saying no in more difficult situations.

Food for thoughts 2

I've recently read in a chapter of a book which says about money that I find quite relevant and true. For those spurring and working very hard to earn more money, why not read through it and think for a while.

Money can buy medicine, but not health
Money can buy a house, but not a home
Money can buy companionship, but not friends
Money can buy entertainment, but not happiness
Money can buy food, but not an appetite
Money can buy a bed, but not sleep
Money can buy a crucifux, but not a Saviour
Money can buy the good life, but not eternal life

Think for a while, are you controlling your money or money controlling you?

A New Year, A New Beginning. 2006!

It's been quite a while since my last post. Well, my trustworthy PC which accompanied me since the first day of school in University till one week I knew I graduated finally "RIP". It began with having problems with starting up the com at random times till it became more frequent. It finally "died" on Christmas Eve. However, I took some of its parts out and told the person in Sim Lim to fix into the new com.

Now my com has the following specifications:
- Pentium 4 2.66GHz, 512 MB RAM, 80GB harddisk, Nvidia Graphic Card, DVD-RW
- Total burn my pocket off $480

Spent the whole day installing and configuring my computer. Finally it's up!!!
Feel really good that it's a brand new year, brand new PC, brand new phase in my life!







2nd of Jan 2006 happens to be me and my gf's 19th month anniversary together. Thus did this gift for her. Nice?















2 years ago I did a similar one for her. Hee.
