A Xmas Poem

Just got this email from one of the Doctors. I tot it is nice to share with all of you! :)

Ah yes Merry Christmas to us

The bonus has come at last

Yet it's not for this reason

That we all love this season

But because Christ for us is born today

To take and wash all our sins away

A baby is Saviour Redeemer

A great High Priest and forever

Amidst gifts exchange and good cheer

We remember a God that came near

Wait not only that

But He did add

More sheep into our fold

For us to tend and to hold

The light that shone in Bethlehem

In Us we are to all men

So we can laugh and shout and sing

Of joy and wonder this Christmas bring

Blessed Christmas to you my friend

Warm greetings to you I send.

~A Poem by Dr David Yoong~

If you died today, what would your last words be?

I know the title is a little morbid. But I managed to get something off from Shaw Wooten's blog recently.

He was basically calling us to take our discipleship higher. Thanks to google translator, I could make out what he wanted to say.

So what would your last words be? That tot lingered in my head. I was thinking along the line of "Lord, receive me", "Lord, forgive me", etc...........

But I can't help but to sing to the tune in my head, "I'm coming up Lord! I'm coming up soon!"

Well, I really don't know what I would say......... Probably need time to think and ponder about this.

Another thing he mentioned was, what would others say in the eulogy? Would it be, "Oh I knew Alex. Fun guy who loves Movies. His favourite movie was Star Wars........... etc...." Would you think that the info shared in the eulogy would be sad or happy if someone said that?

To me I would be sad. Not that I don't appreciate the person for knowing my favourite movie or basketball team. But its sad to me that probably I did not make use of the time to share deeper tots or insights with this person. I hope I won't fall into that category in the future. I'll be depressed man....... LOL!

I always remembered Shawn sharing with us the true story about this brother in Ukraine who went back to him hometown to start a church. But soon passed away leaving behind his wife and kid. But within that short few months he impacted so many people. The brother who did the eulogy asked people to put up their hands if they were brought to church by the deceased brother, and the a number of hands came up. Then leaving the hands up, he asked again who were impacted by the people whose hands are already, again more hands rose, and it went on..... By the end of the 10mins almost a full room of hands were up. That one small decision made by the brother to reach out to impact people around him had spread like wildfire amongst that small community. Truly impacting the lives of many and making his life a beautiful poetry.

Hope this short lunch sharing managed to inspire some of us. It surely did inspire me. =)

A new week

These days, the week just seem to pass faster and faster...... I can't believe, its gonna be the "Merry Xmas and Happy New Year" greetings already!!!!

Anyway I hope this week will be a great one!

Here's a quote from Larry Bird, one of the greatest NBA players who ever strolled the court with the Boston Celtics. Not that I like the Celtics, but I just like his quotes!

"I've got a theory that if you give 100% all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end." - Larry Bird

1 Year, 1 Life, 1 Post to restart this blog!

WOAH!!!!!! Last entry was Nov 2008!?!?! Its been a year already! SOOOOOOO many things have happened.

In summary:

For Job: Training Job didn't work out. So went on to temp as a HR Assistant at Changi General Hospital, worked from Dec 08 - May 09. Temp contract ended, went on another Temp assignment with HSA as a HR Temp, was there for 3 weeks, then CGH called me back and offered me a 3-Year Perm contract as an Executive, Medical Board. Started in July 09 till present! All going great!

For Spiritual Life: Well, definitely had its fair share of Ups and Downs! But more ups if I really look at it. Led a group of my own, but guess God has other plans so now I'm only leading a small group. Still serving in the band! And I have crossed my 8th year mark as a Disciple since Sept 09!!!!! Praise God for that!

For Dating Life: Well, I am still single! BUT!!!!! I have an awesome girlfriend now! We got together on 23rd May 09! And things have been going great! Of course had a few fights here and there but all is past and resolved! Its about working things out and moving forward together! God is in the driver's seat! =)

Health: Hmm....... This one not too good. Recently my knee has been giving me alot of problems. Went for an extensive physiotherapy session. It helped abit but it was just too costly to follow up with. So was only on it for bout 8 - 10 weeks. Hope nothing bad happens, if it does I'm just going to the hospital and get an MRI scan just to see what is happening inside there. Pray nothing serious!

Friends: Wow, all I can say is I built quite a few awesome friendship with several people! Thank God for that! Be it in Church, Office or anywhere else! Its just great to have friends involved in my life and to hang out with! =D

Studies: Like in my previous posts, my studies officially ended around Oct 08. My results came out in Feb 09 and I attained a 2nd Class Upper Honours in Business Administration Specializing in Human Resource Management from Coventry University!!!!! My graduation ceremony was in Apr 09! Am glad that I upgraded myself and had a taste of achievement in terms of academics! WOOHOO!!!!!

Hmm hope this sort of summarizes my 1 year of absence! Feel free to ask me more! =)

Looking for Job

Pls be praying for me to get a job ASAP.
