Is this what we called Family?

I was shock to read this from a local newspaper, an elderly women died for 3 days before being found by her son in the house. She stayed with her son's family in a four room flat in Singapore. This was published in Xi min or Lian He Wan Pao two nights ago.

How can her death go unnoticed for so many days which I cannot understand. Although my family is not very traditional but it is always a habit to inform the elderly that we are back when we reached home and asked them how's their day. Even during the time when my grandfather was lying on the bed and could not walk, we will go to his room and check on him and my aunt will attend to his daily meals and needs.

Therefore it is no excuse for the family not to notice her death. So what is the difference from having a family and living alone, especially to the older generation which still believe that having family around you at your death bed. But for this poor women, staying with her family is as good as none.

Everyday there are one or two bizarre news that will really question us as a human? What is happening to us?

PowerSuite....my milestone in life

If there is no PowerSuite, I will not have a brunch of good friends now.
If there is no PowerSuite, I wonder what will I be doing now? My job experience might have change... will I be doing what I am doing now?

Guess it's about time to let it go.....so I am writting this now to put a full stop.

Someone once says

Man's time is yesterday as we keep looking back...and comparing it with today
God's time is today as the bible has say that we should do and try our very best for Today
Devil's time is tomorrow, always tempting us to be lazy and push things till tomorrow.

Thus I shall give Thanks to Yesterday and live my Life for Today.

Woes and Worries

GDP is less than 4 – 5 percent forecast this year for Singapore. Cost of living going up and all expenses are growing except my pay. Toxic milk scare, avoid all dairy products from china. Receive sms from friend...what a long list of ‘Do not eat item’
1. M & M's
2. Snickers
3. Mento's yoghurt bottle
4. Dove Chocolate
5. Oreo Wafer sticks
6.. Monmilk
7. Dutch Lady sterilised milk
8. Wall's all natural mango
9. Mini poppers ice cream
10. Manum ice cream
11. Moo sandwich ice cream
12. Mini Cornetto
13. Youcan ice cream

I wonder what will happen next? Life is already so stressful with my growing age and lack of luck in love...but I feel recharge after reading this:

(Luke chapter 12 verse 23 to 32)
Is not life more than food, and the body than its clothing? 24 Give thought to the ravens; they do not put seeds into the earth, or get together grain; they have no store-houses or buildings; and God gives them their food: of how much greater value are you than the birds! 25 And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself any taller? 26 If, then, you are not able to do even that which is least, why are you troubled about the rest? 27 Give thought to the flowers: they do no work, they make no thread; and still I say to you, Even Solomon, in all his glory, was not clothed like one of these. 28 But if God gives such clothing to the grass in the field, which today is living, and tomorrow will be burned in the oven, how much more will he give clothing to you, O men of little faith? 29 And do not give overmuch thought to your food and drink, and let not your mind be full of doubts. 30 For the nations of the world go in search of all these things: but your Father has knowledge that you have need of them. 31 But let your chief care be for his kingdom, and these other things will be given to you in addition. 32 Have no fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Human – Nothing but disappointment

Looking at the recent case of toxic milk in China, it disturbs me deeply. Once again the greed of mankind has produced another tragic. What is happening to us? Although this is happening in China and not in Singapore but I still feel sick after reading all the news on the tainted milk added with melamine, normally used in making plastics.

Will we learn our lesson? Guess not….Mad cow disease had barely pass and now this.
For so many century, human without fail fall again and again due to greed, ignorance etc...Like the bible has say, all man are sinners and we will be disappointed when we look at deeds of man. May God have mercy on us and keep us safe always, Amen.

It just dawn on me

For those fellows Christian out there...Do you ever feel like God is talking to you through thoughts? How do you know it is not your mind playing tricks on you? How do you know this is a message from God?

I think this is the challenge we all faced but the Bible did reveal that God will make himself known to us so I guess this is the same for his message and the way he communicate to us.

Something funny happened in church today...they actually play pop song during sermon and although what was shared and preached today is about sharing in the words of Christ and the verse used are as follow:

John: Chapter 15 verse 1 – 17 and Philippians: Chapter 2 verse 1 -13

Maybe I was enjoying this song by Tension – “I’ll be with you “during the sermon but these song lyrics jus caught my attention:

I'll be with you, yeah...　whenever you go朋友no no no
往往快乐就在你我的眼前　却因为悲观什么都看不见
幸福并不是只会存在一瞬间　抬起头来不要再自我可怜
你要发现生命的珍贵　Everything is coming your way
或许我想得太多　让自己好累　
就怕这个不对　那个不对　做的不对爱的不对　
失去了信心面对　你给我力量点燃心中的希望
Remember I'll be with you　You'll be with me
伸出你只手我就随时会出现　
You know I'll be with youYou'll be with me　
心里的梦想都在你眼前出现
在你梦想出现　爱它一直存在你的生命中
　不要因为害怕心里只有痛
That's right 恩瑞　重担交给我不要压力这么重
放行自己才能追寻你的梦　你要发现生命的珍贵
Everything is coming your way　或许我想得太多
让自己好累　就怕这个不对　那个不对　做的不对　爱的不对
失去了信心面对　你给我力量点燃心中的希望
Remember I'll be with you　You'll be with me
伸出你只手我就随时会出现　You know I'll be with you
心里的梦想都在你眼前出现
终於明白曾经失去什么　我的爱不再沉没听见你呼唤我
Rap: Hey! I'll be there for you brother and you'll be there for me
我将会记住这份友情永远不会忘记So counton me
每当你需要我的精神鼓励
And put your trust in me because you gonna believe that I'll be with you
陪你渡过大风大浪 Don't worry about a thing
提起脚步一道踏上这段路旅途有起有落有快乐有悲伤
提起你的胸膛跟我们共同追逐梦想with me
每一天　每一夜　每一分钟　每一秒
I'll be watching over you　I'll be with you
Say the words 我随时就会出现　在你身边　 Standing-by
your side　Remember I'll be with you　You'll be with me
伸出你只手我就随时会出现　You'll know I'll be

It just dawn on me that this song was written from Jesus point of view. Okie...maybe you guys think I am funny to think that way but in the lyrics about being with you every day every nite every min and every sec...hello...please tell me who can do it? As a parent or a husband or girlfriend, you can’t do that so tell me who on earth can do that?

Comparing my life with Jesus

Ya….that guy who got himself kill in that movie...’Passion of the Christ’...or was he the guy that married Mary Magdalene in that book ‘The Da Vinci Code’? So many arguments have revolved around him and so many other people got famous because of Him...at least Dan Brown did.

According to the Bible, He started preaching at the age of 30 and died on the cross at 33. In such a short time...3 and half years, why is this one man have such a great impact on us in our world today?

Did you know the meaning of BC and AD which always appear in the years? I found this in one of the website:

“It is commonly thought that BC stands for "before Christ" and AD stands for "after death." This is only half correct. How could 1 B.C. have been "before Christ" and 1 A.D. been "after death"? BC does stand for "before Christ." AD actually stands for the Latin phrase "anno domini" which means "in the year of our Lord." The B.C. / A.D. dating system is not taught in the Bible. It actually was not fully implemented and accepted until several centuries after Jesus' death.

It is interesting to note that the purpose of the BC / AD dating system was to make the birth of Jesus Christ the dividing point of world history. However, when the B.C. / A.D. system was being calculated, they actually made a mistake in pinpointing the year of Jesus' birth. Scholars later discovered that Jesus was actually born in around 4-6 BC, not 0 AD. That is not the crucial issue. The birth, life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Christ are the "turning points" in world history. It is fitting, therefore, that Jesus Christ be the separation of "old" and "new." BC was "before Christ" and since His birth, we have been living "in the year of our Lord." Philippians 2:10-11, "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

Wow...this really got me to question who this guy is. Died at the age of 33 and was able to have such an impact to the world...amazing.

What is Life and it’s purpose?

I’m not sure about you….but there was a time that I keep asking myself, why am I here? What am I doing with my Life? Spend meaninglessly for so long….to do something great? Nay….not possible when my studies just barely make it....I am just a nobody.

This question keep popping up during my teens, my early twenties and now….at my thirties.

Looking back….I had not done anything great…and did no one harm so far…so live was pretty ordinary and sometimes I will compare with people that I seen on TV…wow…how they did that….those kids at such a young age, they got gold medal in the Olympic. They have such drive and aim in their live. Do you know your life purpose when you are born? How did one know?
