Speaking of ambitions..

Reminds me of the yellow card which we are bound to fill in our "ambitions"..That time, don't even know what it takes to fulfil the so-called ambitions. So, juz filled in whatever that popped up in the mind...such as, teacher, nurse, policewomen, sometimes write postlady jz for fun.. (Who would want to be one anyway...)

Later in secondary school, crossroads came. The most significant one is to choose between arts and science stream. Still remember the last minute change of mind to study arts. Not to say I'm not interested in science, just that I find arts and commerce more appealing.

Perhaps that has to do with my favorite childhood game - trading. That's to put things(toys) on the pillow and ask my sister to "buy".haha...It's all in the genes...

Yet, there's always variance between ambitions and realities. I came across this sentence in mandarin- if you don't put effort to realise your dream("mong xiang"), the dream is a fantasy ("wang xiang");but if you put effort to it, that is your ideal ("li xiang").

Yeah, I like to read about stories(bible or not bible ones) of those great man. They are not born to be great, but in their crossroads, they chose the path which others (sometimes majority) do not agree with. So, majority isn't always right.

"I might fall on my face, but I'm willing to try..." -some actor which I forgot the name..

That day I wanted to go back as soon as possible but was given a task in the late afternoon which deadline is very tight.

Talked with the business partner and it seems like it's rather time-consuming and unable to finish on that day.

Felt kinda impatient waiting next to the fax machine, so I sang Gospel song in my heart.

"Tiiit..." a fax came in~!

But it was for my colleague.

So after a few minutes, I directly phone the other party for the person in charge. Who knows, she had already left home.

That day, I went back wondering why God's not answering...but I still have to go home, right?

Followed up the next day.

Rupa-rupanya, the person in charge has directly faxed the documents to the party that needed it.

(The original arrangement was to fax to my company first)

Hehe God's really listening~

Never doubt God...

 Yeah~! It's October now~~ Soon, Christmas will come~

I like Christmas very much. If really wanna choose between Christmas and Chinese New Year, I'll choose Christmas.(Although the red packets from CNY is very tempting~)

Many reasons to this choice..

Last time, when my family were still living in flat, my dad will bring us to the hotels or shopping centers around to enjoy the Christmas decorations. Still remember that time I was still with chicken pox, but still go here and there to take picture.

And that time, my brother was only about 1 years old. Nothing wrong to be1 years old, but for a 1-year-old boy, my dad (who was the camera man) will snapshot focussing on my brother.

So, in the end, only can see my mum's smiling lips and about 1/3 of the picture in on the floor.  Can still recall my mum asking why the picture is like this, and waste her make-ups..but in a happy tone lar..*Ladies*

Apart from that, there are parties...in home fellowship & church. ..

Once, I spent it a gals' nite out in a best friend's house - making Christmas meal~ hehe...4 gals simply cook..my First dish - green veggie.. My friends joked that the way I clean the veggie was like doing laundry..The fact was..I worked til 4-5am for a project I entrusted someone to do, and ultimately I gotta do it on my OWN. So, was kinda like a zombie walking in my sleep, cleaning the veggie 

And...and...and...those island trips with family..so memorable..

So I like Christmas very much..thou there is no Christmas tree in my house..nor Turkey meat on the dining table..  It's the *Giving* spirit that counts..

Just read something interesting regarding Significance Through Relationships written by Rev. Kong Hee.

He revealed to us that success is not a guarantee that people will remember you. As the moment you set a goal and achieved it, somebody else will eventually beat your record and surpass your goal.

For instance, how many of us recalled who was the richest man in 1950?1960? etc? (no idea ler..)

But when it comes to Mother Theresa - an old lady who lived amongst the poorests peasants in India..(hehe..sure remember her  )

That's the difference between success and significance.

Yes~

~By the age of 50, Abraham was already a very successful man in the land of Ur. He was wealthy, influencial and powerful. But God came to Abraham one day and challenge him, "Abraham, you'll never find real happiness, fulfillment and significance..Until you become a BLESSING to others!"~

~Crucify My Love~ X japan

Crucify my love
If my love is blind
Crucify my love
If it sets me free
Never know Never trust
"That love should see a color"
Crucify my love
If it should be that way

Swing the heartache
Feel it inside out
When the wind cries
I'll say good-by
Tried to learn Tried to find
To reach out for eternity
Where's the answer
Is this forever

Like a river flowing to the sea
You'll be miles away, and Iwill know
I know I can deal with the pain
No reason to cry

Crucify my love
If my love is blind
Crucify my love
If it sets me free
Never know Never trust
"That love should see a color"
Crucify my love
If it should be that way

'Til the loneliness shadows the sky
I'll be sailing down and I will know
I know I can clear clouds away
Oh Is it a crime to love

Swing the heartache
Feel it inside out
When the wind cries
I'll say good-by
Tried to learn Tried to find
To reach out for eternity
Where's the answer
Is this forever

If my love is blind
Crucify my love
If it sets me free
Never know Never trust
"That love should see a color"
Crucify my love
If it should be that way
