生活可以很简单，可是不要做个头脑简单的人．我发觉在简单的生活中, 只要你用心去看一个人，往往会认识一些不平凡的人。
我慢慢知道为什么辽阔的天空让我感到害怕。。。因为天空太辽阔，人就变得太渺小。我害怕变得渺小。。可是真正伟大的人并不是因为世界小所以他伟大。这样一来的话，我可以生活在蚂蚁群中。真正伟大的人是因为他超越了自己在辽阔世界中的极限， 伟大的人使再大的世界也变得渺小。。
我不要害怕辽阔的天。辽阔的天有我无限可能的发挥。我并没有想要超越天，可是我要超越一种人生的无奈。我的生命是丰盛的，因为我认识我主。
我要简单的过我的生活。不代表我的头脑简单。

Lucas' picture
Lucas is so cute.. I am reluctant to say that he is a joker lest he get into the role of a joker. But he is really cute la.. =) Jus sharing my joy with you =)
Affirmed by God
Been reading Ajith Fernando's book. Its not that interesting or easy to read, but it has great value.
I have been taking some time to rest. This time to break away from work gives me time to think about work. Haha.. Its not an irony. Its a time for rest and reflection. I have been working hard. But I dont feel right. At times I question my motivation for doing so.
When I was full time in Navs, its easier to say that you are working for God. But right now, working with others in the office, and with a manager above me, I feel this need to perform. For the past few months perhaps, I have lost touch of how it feels to work for God and Him alone. When pressure comes, I lost sight of my dear Master to whom I should ultimately account to.
Coupled with this reason is also the need to prove my worth. I realise that I have been working so hard not because I so love my work. But its because I have tied my worth so closely to my job. I have focused my worth on the output of my job and my performance at work. No wonder I worked so hard. If my work crash, I would crash.
So so dangerous to anchor my worth on the outcome of my work. I feel so childish. And yet again, God is my Deliverer.
Peter said, "To whom shall I go? You have the word of eternal life." I am insane without God. I am praying for reliance on Him daily that I may follow Him closely and listen to Him intently.

Good deeds
It is interesting to me how one good deed begets another good deeds.
Today I was really tired from work and I slept on the bus. When I woke up and was till feeling lerthagic, I saw THREE elderly walk up the bus. At first it was just 1 elderly, and I was still waiting.... (that means refusing to get up from my seat! ha!) Then when I saw another 2 slowly walking up, I knew I had to stand.
Well, there was just one seat and definitely, only 1 can sit. But after awhile, another man stood up and then after another short while, another man gave up his seat. Its beautiful to see 3 people giving up seats to 3 needy elderly.
Interestingly, I gave up my seat to an Indian elderly. An Indian man gave up his seat to a Chinese elderly and a China PRC gave up his seat to a Singaporean lady elderly =)
I guess one act of good triggered another to do good and then another. I donno, but I guess so.

勇气
有死的勇气，为什么不要活着勇敢面对生活？听起来很俗气，可是我真的找不到还有什么好说的。
Recently there seems to have increasing cases of teens committing suicide being reported. I wonder if it’s a trend. Remember there was a Japanese movie on the theme of teen’s suicide. It’s as if it’s a fashion statement to commit suicide.
Fancy writing a 1000 word essay to her own mother before her jump. Asking for forgiveness and asking her mother not to be sad. Does she think that her mother has a choice when she made those requests? Seems noble ah. Asking your own mother not to be sad when you die. What crap!!!!! How can your own mother not be sad when you commit suicide???? How selfish of you to want your way in all that you do and hope that your mother will not be sad! No wonder you don’t have the brains to continue to live on.
If you got the guts to commit theft, sniff glue, rebel against your parents etc etc, then why don’t you have the guts to face the music? Maturity comes when you accept responsibility for your own actions. (I feel silly to sound like I am talking to a dead and I don’t even know her.)
Perhaps the only answer to my many “whys” is that evil is here to tarnish the image of God.
I feel helpless seeing the many teens being delivered into the hands of the evil one. Even if I am in social work, my efforts are limited because many still chooses to walk the opposite way from God.
It’s easy to say that you want to marry work and ministry or make work your ministry. But as I think about it, it’s really hard to have a good biblical foundation in your work. Usually, the foundational structures of secular work are founded upon secular values and principles. Even in Christian organizations, there seems to have Christ-like values but it’s also mixed with secular principles.
Lord, I pray that you build in my work your foundation- the foundation that is everlasting. Your foundation is truth, is love and life.
Father, I pray for the many teens and children in the world who are being held captive by the evil one. I pray that you deliver them from the evil one and have mercy on them.
