Through His Eyes

And I will worship You in the beauty of Your holiness
And I will worship You for all the things You have done in me
And when my life's complete, I'll place my crown at Your feet
I will worship You on bended knees

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day,
and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 NKJV

Feet firmly rooted to the ground, I saw the end, so I understood the present.
The crown of life is not about wealth or status but His will be done. Then rest will come.
But for now, peace is enough. The peace of GOD that surpasses all understanding guards my heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Then he told them what they could expect for themselves: "Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead.
You're not in the driver's seat - I am. Don't run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I'll show you how.
Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self.
What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you? Luke 9:23-25 The Message

He does not love me any lesser if He does not give me the world.
He does not love me more than others when I gain wealth, fame or status.
He gives me enough each day. Grace in mistakes. Wisdom in troubled times. Love in brokenness. Hope for life.
His words ricochet in my mind, targeting the bull’s eye.

“Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday
human concerns will be met.” Matthew 6:33 The Message
“Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow.
God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes. Matthew 6:34 The Message

When you took me in, and put me behind the steering wheel and said, "Drive." It took me a while to realize that I had been given the license to drive.
So I took the cue, started the engine and took to the road. There were times when the ride was tough, and times when it was enjoyable and empowering.
Sometimes I ended up lost at the crossroads. All alone not knowing which way is the right direction. Then I hear a still small voice.
“The place where your treasure is, is the place you will most want to be, and end up being.” Matthew 6:21 The Message

Thank you for remaining, J.

wat happened?

.
About 1-2 months ago, in my ex-company...

My then-colleague just bought Jay Chou's latest music album. Hurriedly, i transferred them into my iPod, so that later on the way home, Dear can listen in the car. =D

In the car...
I happily played Jay Chou's songs for Dear to listen.
.
.
.
Dear... is... bewildered...
He skips every song after listening for less than 1 minute.

Dear is really bewildered... and getting traumatised...
He does not believe that the songs are sung by Jay Chou.
So i said: "It's Jay Chou's voice ar..."
He then asks me: "Are you VERY SURE that these songs are from Jay Chou's latest album?"
I replied: "Yes, Dear... It's REALLY is his latest album."

He complains: "These songs sounds so kiddish."
He muses: "Where are his nice songs? His touching & emotional songs?"

Then he proceeded to change the current playlist to Jay Chou's old songs playlist.

And never again, was Jay Chou's newest songs ever heard in the car.

He is THAT devastated.

Christmas

.

WHERE ARE YOU,

CHRISTMAS?

Why do i not feel the Christmas spirit?

Why do others i know, feel the same way as i do?

Or is it cuz i've grown out of it?

Or as one grows older, being shouldered with more burden and responsibility, one can no longer celebrate festivals with a light heart?

It used to be my favourite festive.

And it still is.

But where has all the joy & cheer gone to?

.

An incident seen

.
Guy is having bak-kut-teh at MS, happily chatting with friends.

Guy sees Integra on the road, thinks: Integra, i like..
Expression: delighted & appreciating the car.

Guy sees P-plate, thinks: P-plate also like Integra. haha.
Expression: smiling-knowing look cuz of similar likes.

Guy sees gal driving alone in the car, thinks: Walau eh... Female sia...
Expression: pleasure-mix-with-wary cuz car can attract opposite sex but feels that female drivers should be barred on the roads.

Guy sees Type R sticker on the side of the Integra, thinks: WHAT THE F*#K?!
Expression: jaw-dropped, speechless & incredulous cuz feels that who in their sensible mind will let a P-plate driver drive an Integra Type R, furthermore a char-bor!
.

small updates

.
i've been quite busy with work recently cuz am doing month-end reports thus not much time to blog. there is so much to learn and my boss is just so impressive with her knowledge that she is willing to share with me.
making me realised that although initially i thought that it was only diplomas which barely touches the surface but who knows that, degrees only touches slightly more deeper than diplomas.

i just signed a 3-years membership with California Fitness cuz i've got no classes for both studying & driving anymore, and i wanna lose weight. not one to idle on weekdays' evenings so now i've got exercising classes. i enjoy the sweat-it-out feeling during classes. and i perversely enjoy the bodyaches after working out. haha.

brought my family out for a seafood dinner with dear to celebrate mummy-dearest's birthday.

celebrated dearie yvette's birthday. silently loving this close friend of mine and wishing her all the best.

went to m'sia for 1 night last weekend for grandpa's birthday celebration.

my 1st on the road driving experience is driving grandpa's old car. a 25-years-old car driven on the uneven & dimly-lighted roads of m'sia, with my 3 sisters and 3 cousins in the car, with no p-plates displayed & with my license in sg.

i am not proud to say that i can't park for nuts.

boggled over what to buy for christmas and also monetary issues.

can anyone teach me how to be more patient, more forgiving, less short-tempered & less cuttingly rude? i seem to have forgone mine for an armour shield.

=D finally, my good news!

.
One of my driving instructor had mentioned that it had better rain on the day, i take my driving test.

Apparently he said that i drive better in the rain, cuz i am unable to see cars through the heavy downpour, thus i do not panic.

Our inside joke on my 4th lesson. =p

It did rain today but it was no heavy downpour nor was it a small drizzle.

.

After 26 lessons, i am proud to announce that..

I've passed my driving test on my 1st attempt.
Total accumulated points: 16

.

So proud of myself.
*gives myself a pat on my shoulder*
