Blessed Week...

It has been a pretty blessing week for me...
and i wanna thank God for that...

In less than 3 days, I got myself a job...
And not any ordinary job...
I am now a Marketing Executive in SUN Microsystems.

Yes. The company that brought you the Java technologies.
For those who are not so IT-savvy, they are the founders who brought you the JAVA games in your handphone.
All thanks to Zhiwei & God, Zhiwei msn-ed me on Tuesday and offered a job opening. And the next thing i know, I was sitting in SUN for an interview on Thursday. In just a 5 minute casual chat, I was hired and told to report work on Friday.
I never even asked abt my pay or working hours... Hehe... >_<
(Well, the pay's about $1.5k - $2k, 5-day work week.)

And Starhub called me to inform me that I have won 2 tickets & backstage passes to attend Joi Chua 蔡淳佳's concert & to meet her for a chat after the concert.

Too bad I had CG, and none of my frens were free to take over the tickets from me. Or some didn't know who was she or not interested... =(...
She's a lovely lady lor. A graduate from SP... and a lady with the most gentle & sweet voice. A very natural girl. Natural as in she's so fair and so 自然。 她不过于打扮，却仍然清纯漂亮。She's also the one who brought u the hits... 有一天我會 & 陪我看日出

(Click to see the videos. Courtesy of YouTube.)
Her voice is really lovely and I'm really inspired by her as a talent of Singapore.

Haha, so blessed but yet no chance... haha... Never mind la.
Joi, hope you dun mind hor. Hehe...
Every Friday evening, God has reserved his time on me. =P

Oh and if you(Joi) happen to see this, I wish you best in your career.
Will support you man!
祝你事业成功。身体健康。清淳美丽。加油！
These were the words that I would have told you if I could have made it to ya concert...

一屋兩家三姓人

Lately, I've been watching this HK drama on SCV...
Great storyline and touching...
For my non-chinese friends, the title means
'1 house, 2 families, 3 surnames'


The story revolves around these 5 kids, whose mother died in a car accident & their father, a doctor who goes around Africa healing the sick, died of cancer. Leaving the 5 kids to his brother-in-law & sister-in-law...


The drama really made me teared... It talks abt different problems in life...
Life encircles on love. And love comes with jealousy, comes with misunderstanding... Overall, we do love each other... But we are blinded by the things we do..

Watch it for yourselves, and you'll know wad i mean.
It's available in VCDs at all video shops. Though i doubt there is chinese subtitles.
But fret not, Mediacorp will sure telecast this in no time... Or u can pay me to subtitle them... haha... just kidding.

The drama's theme song is brought to u by 李逸朗 DON
He composed and sang it himself...
打氣 (一屋兩家三姓人主題曲) 李逸朗　
作曲:李逸朗　填詞:高皓正

如若成功等於孤單　令願簡簡單單　誰在世界　能一呼當患　有一套苦水怎支撐　難得一起分擔　離別你最不怪　別放手 下決心 伴你走　就算天空都變舊　承諾過 來日我還是我　成熟了愛會更深厚　回望 天天一起 徘徊各種天氣　賺過那些悲與喜　有沒有洩氣 亦有你打氣　就算跌低亦會企得起　願你比心機 為你我會爭氣　自信有一天會飛　你以後 眼淚流請加油　定有我 緊你
Really inspired by him. He's same age as me.
Can sing, can write music, can act... Cool man.... Haha

Enjoy!!!

I had fell in love with this book when I last saw it during last Aug 2005 @ Trumpet Praise. Never did I expect Charlie 2 buy it 4 me at the Hope Store. Thanks shepherd!!!

Mariah Carey Testifies New Career Success Down to God

* Cedric sent me this article this morning, extracted from CityHarvest *


Picture: Mariah Carey has testified her new career success down to God.

American pop queen Mariah Carey recently has announced that her two biggest loves are God and her pastor.

The singer credits her faith with helping her recover from a breakdown after the failure of her 2002 album Glitter.

After being dropped by Virgin Records, she was picked up by Rev Clarence Keaton who helped her rebuild her life. The minister performed with her on stage at this year's Grammy Awards.

Throughout her lifetime, Carey has spoken about being reborn multiple times.

According to an article in American magazine Cosmo Girl, Carey said: "I do believe that I have been born again in a lot of ways. I think what I've changed are my priorities and my relationships with God."

Referring to her reported "breakdown" two years ago, she continued: "I feel the difference when I don't have my private moments to pray. I said to my father when I went through all that stuff, 'I feel like I've gone through everything but death, so I'm not scared of anything anymore.'

"Once you fall that hard and have been kicked and kicked you learn to protect yourself. I'm a fighter, but I learned that I'm not in charge. Whatever God wants to happen is what's going to happen. I feel like I've had endless second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth chances. It's by the grace of God I'm still here. Yes, I'm frustrated a lot of the time, I go through bad days. But, I'm ecstatic where I am."

HISTORY MAKER - HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY HOPE SINGAPORE!!!

After so many weeks of preparation, finally the anniversary is over.
My Church's 15th anniversary, that is...
The guys took 3 days 2 nights to work on the bulbs.
And i too spend a night at Nexus doing the video testimonies.
God... I was so tired. Glad everything is over.



Well, a lot of efforts has gone into this year's anniversary. It's only this grand every 5 years.

My feedback ah?

• Visual -
  
  • Lightings: Should have troubleshooted the 'History Maker' lights to make sure. As it was this grand.
    
  • Sound: Feedback could have been avoided. No excuses.
    
  • Screen: As there was quite a distance from the stage to the people at the back. Yet the screens wasn't showing much of what's happening on stage. and it was so unprofessional to show a blue or black screen in an event so grand. And my videos & others were cropped.
  
  
• Choir - A 100-man choir. But not impactful. They should have had a stronger basses, tenors, altos & sopranos style. Perhaps go soul. They 'so' got covered up during P&W and it just sounded like a whole church singing...
  
• Worship Leaders' Musical - As they look like small matchstick figures on stage. Their actions should have been bigger and enthusiatic. They looked bored. Waiting for their turns...
  
• Time Tunnel - Could have been better, more interactivity. But wad to do. So little pple for the ministry

But overall, we did a good job la. Love the songs [Especially Psalm 78], love the dance too & the confetti.
I made lots of frens thru this too. Let me see, let's thank God for the pple i know who put this all together.

It was a great day of celebration. And guess everyone has been tired.
HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY HOPE SINGAPORE~!!!

Love is in the air...

The couple is officially wedded...
The lovey dovey couple Eugene & Jacqueline are officially wedded.
It was really a very touching ceremony.
The couple saying their vows to love each other.
The couple thanking their parents for bringing them up & hugging them.
It made me teared... It reminded me about my parents too.
And then... Eug played on the piano and sang for Jac...
It was so touching... U can really feel his love for her.
Feel happy for them. But a bit weird to accept the fact that they are both husband and wife.

I love the 'flower girl' and the 'page boy'...
They were so adorable and they liked me a lot too.
The 'page boy' was so cute. He held the girl's hand as if they were the ones getting married. And he kissed her on the cheek. Oh my gosh...

The dinner was lovely. But little did most know that we had 'escargot' for the first dish. [Appetiser] Escargot = Garden snails. The brown slice thingy. THEY WERE NOT MUSHROOMS, for goodness sake! Haha...

We couldn't eat in peace until our performance was over.
Also, I wanna take this chance to thank the girls 'Giselle & Weilin' for availing themselves to help out for the song item, when I approached them on behalf of the guys. They never rejected me and gave their best they could. Thank you girls.

It was a tiring day. But glad all the work was over.
The couple will be flying to Australia for their honeymoon on Monday, 930pm flight...

Wish you guys a happy trip and blissed wedding...
