  Candid Mammee feels......
  Sheepy Cloud's wedding was one of the best ones I've attended. Both of them looked fabulous.
  We had great company at the table although we're now YS653 & Faithful 139, every dish was savoury, service was prompt, atmosphere was fun (we have rowdy bunch behind us), AND the red wine was great!
  Their video was entertaining and creative, we had much laughter watching it :-)
  And we attempted to do a high-pitch "Yum Seng" suggested by Mel. But couldn't stop laughing when we tried. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. So I guess we should do it at Jo Ho's wedding then huh?
  I hope everyone enjoyed last night as much as I do.
  Thanks, Sheepy Cloud and Congratulations!

  Candid Mammee--..---..---
  During the recent Gel, Martin asked us to share 3 things we like about cell and the reasons....
  I was reminded of those times when you guys were there for me when I needed help and support. So I wanted to "extend" my list from my three. (First 3 was Birthday cakes!, Worships and Sharing of TAWG).
  I want to write them down lest I forget...
  -in year 2004(i think), my dad was admitted to SGH for coughing blood. I held on to a plastic box of his blood on the way to hospital (he had been coughing whole day and had collected it for the doc to see). Tuberculosis caused an infection. The bleeding couldn't stop. I was alone and very scared in the hospital, my sis was held up in a meeting. Suddenly I thought of Sandie and smsed her. She smsed a prayer back to me and I felt much better. At first the docs had problems locating the bleeding, but they finally managed to stop the bleeding by middle of the night.
  -Dec 2005, I accepted Christ because of Sandie's relentless belief in me. She pursued and asked me to one of the services preached by Pastor Gerald.
  -in year 2006, Laura and Sandie were there for me when I was facing personal challenges. They took time to see me, smsed me and encouraged me by buying books for me and bringing me to counseling sessions. The issues were resolved and today I enjoy a much improved relationship with my family.
  Also, my Buddy at work discovered cyst in her womb. We prayed for her in cell. The cyst is no longer there the last I checked with her.
  -in 2007, I was pregnant and was feeling very lethargic. I didn't attend cell or service regularly. You guys took time to call me so that I stay in the loop and kept encouraging me to return to cell. Some of you even took time to celebrate my birthday with me.
  I have never attended other cells to compare. But I felt really comfortable when I first visited Y653.
  I'm sure we'll multiply fast if we keep this Vibrant Atmosphere for all visitors.
  Cheers x many

  Lost in sea - Hang on to that rock - choose the right one though
  Many a times, I hear sharings during cell that one feels a sense of a lost of direction in life. Alas, I am beginning to feel thus. I feel like I am floating everyday half awake.
  I am encouraged by this verse which says that Jesus foundation is the best. In my floating along the sea, I better cling onto the right rock, which is the foundation that Jesus had laid. If it sounds too chim, it probably means hanging onto all the lovely things that He promises and He believes in, which is, us. I think Jesus believes in us, otherwise He would not have died on the cross, zun boh?
  P.S by the way, william is single and very available, works at HSBC, slightly cynical about the faith though. I burst out luffing when Christine sneaked up to me and asked, "eh you change bf?"

  hi all, I was very blessed by this morning's sermon. Though it was short, it touched by heart and God spoke to me...
  For those of you who might have missed it, or may have been tempted by the ZZzzz monster halfway through, here's my short sharing on what was shared.....
  Ps Keet touched on the 2nd part of the 2 part series: Abounding Provision, Amazing Grace. He started off with one of my favourite verses:
  "Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." 2 Cor 9:7-8
  He shared that Biblical generosity goes beyond finances...ie, God loves a cheerful giver, not just in terms of giving of our finances.
  2 Questions we need to ask:
  1. Why does God provide for us?
  2. What can stop the inflow of God's provision in our lives?
  Before we answered those 2 questions, he brought us to Matt 22: 37-40
  Jesus replied: " `Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: `Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
  Question: Are we generous with others /neighbours with our lives? Have we been generous with our lives? As leaders in ministry, in our workplace, at home..? Do we love our neighbours like how we love ourselves?
  Why does God provide for us?
  God's provision releases us to b a blessing for others
  We allow love to flow out of ourselves to be a channel of blessing
  The difference between the Sea of galilee and Dead Sea is Sea of Galilee is full of life because water flows out, while Dead Sea is dead because whatever flows in stays in.
  When we become a channel of blessing, we open the way for inflow of God's abundance in our lives
  Have we been generous with what God has blessed us?
  The analogy he drew with regards to the two Seas was very interesting...it was simple yet it struck me...I asked myself...have i been allowing all that God has blessed me with, to flow out to bless others? Have i been a channel of His blessing? What struck me wasn't finances, it was something that God has blessed all of us with - TIME....and LOVE
  During the past few months, it has seemed as if somehow my usual 24-hour day has been halved...as I have been struggling to find the time to do so many things. Very often, there has hardly been enough time for me to settle my own personal things, what more to find the time to bless others? That also tied in with LOVE. God has loved all of us, and it says clearly in John 3:16 that He demonstrated that by giving of His Son (Himself!)...I asked myself...have I been really giving of myself to those around me? my colleagues? my cell members? :), my family members...it was a time of reality check with me as I sat there asking myself...
  He went on to the second question:
  2. What can stop the inflow of God's provision in our lives? ie when we know that we are not living to our full potential.
  a. Laziness (Prov 6:10-11)
  Preparation precedes blessings.
  We can't expect God to provide when we are not prepared for it.
  b. Greed (Ecc 5:10)
  It is sometimes easier to give everything when have little. But when we have been blessed, often it seems harder to give everything.
  He urged us to LEARN TO GIVE OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE God has provided us.
  c. Sins (Pro 8:13)
  of stealing, hoarding, robbing the Lord
  He ended off by encouragin us to be generous with others with ALL OF OUR LIVES just as God did with His.
  I hope you have been blessed by the sharing above....and pray that it may also urge you to pause and ask yourself....how generous have you been in the giving of your lives and of the the things God has blessed you with, to those around you? :) Or have you, like me, been busy with our own lives, that we sometimes forget that God has blessed us to be a blessing?
  I believe, that as we have been blessed by God in terms of His love, His time, His financial provision, the more we give, the more we shall receive! Am reminded of Ron Kenoly's worship song based on the verse below:
  Food for thought and prayer :)

  Thanks for putting up this song on the Blog. I haven't heard it for the longest time. It caught a string in my heart when I heard it...
  For me, I have been so busy, that so often I have let other things subconsciously take the place of my King to reign in my heart...
  Wanted to share with you guys the lyrics...and hope you all are blessed by this song. May this be our prayer to God - But my one request Lord my only aim Is that You'd reign in me again - as we take a few minutes to sit back and reflect upon the beauty of the Lord of our lives...and ask God to fill us one more time...

  I was watching Channel 8 series,this scene came up:
  An Indian man in his 50s lost a 4D ticket. His number 8888 won $150,000. He was searching desperately for it.
  His neighbours knew about it and they also went searching for it themselves. (it's a not-so-well-to-do neighbourhood). A young couple found it.
  Question: If you found it and knew who the owner was, would you return it to the owner?
  **your comments are welcomed ;-P

  I hope all of had a great Easter!
  I happened to watch S-POP competition last night and many songs sung and written were by the very pioneer batch of "Xin Yao", people like Eric Moo, Liang Wenfu, Lee SiSong and Lee WeiSong, Wu Jiaming etc... (I onder any of you young bros and sis remember, perhaps I'm from diffenrent era..ha ha ha)
  I remember they had a hard time starting out in the 1980s when there were hardly any local singers and this occupation weren't highly regarded. Many people were "worshipping" overseas singers as idols.
  However, many of them pressed on til today and wrote many inspiring great songs. They've even groomed younger stars like Lin Junjie whose extremely popular, Kit Chan (enough said), Stefanie Sun (enough said, Alex said she's EXTREMELY popular in Taiwan, her posters were everywhere). They've EVEN wrote songs for Heavenly King and other overseas talents.
  As I watched how much they've achieved since they first started, it reminded me one thing....PASSION. Only with LOVE for our PASSION, can we persevere through hardships and achieve what we desire. The results may not come in a day, a month, a years...it comes many years LATER.
  Also it reminded the importance of COMRADESHIP, many of them celebrated their success with their peers and showed GRATITUDE to their seniors in the industry.
  Most of all, this entertaining programme reminded me of Jesus and Cell.

  Just logged in today to see if there has been been anything new. Somehow while I was listening to tracks 2 and 4, I felt that greater sense of inner peace in my heart that literally transdecends all understanding as is written in the Word of God and so I started worshipping God. Just thought that it might be worth mentioning that no matter where you are or what you are doing, God is God. Worship Him, you might actually be surprised at what happens even if we knew about this so long ago. Thanks for the wonderful effort in maintaining the web Alvin. ^^ The songs were really ministering. :D

  candid mama:
  Candid mama been feeling very overwhelmed.
  These few weeks has been interesting, meeting interesting characters of different sort. There's this man whom told me that IRR (i.e. Investment Rate of Return) of children is very bad, child rearing is a moneylosing business!? I immediately responded that you can't measure children with money. But I don't think he saw my point of view because he's calculative with everything though he makes $10k every month. I wonder if people who knows too much about calculating money is good for them this way.
  If one hoards very cent he makes and not make part of his income shared to others who are in need, then I think he hasn't learnt about sharing.
  Then there's this one man who threatened to sue me and remove my business license after I apologised for making a mistake and offered to make it up. That incident caused me to be in a complete daze for week. I was in total doubt of myself, my integrity, became absolutely hurt by the way he threatened and intimidated me, bullying me into admitting something i didn't do etc. I carried on with my daily activities despite of all these. Even my husband told me to rest but I decided not to let this incident affect my daily life.
  I recovered only after meeting a longtime client who reminded how I've helped her planned her financials and she totally trusts me. It was then that I rediscovered myself and realised that that guy was trying to cast doubt in me.
  I told another client of mine about this incident. He's a senior police officer and he said luckily I wasn't agitated by him. I could also have reported the incident to the police because I was actually conned into his office when he did all those things to me and I was alone.
  Anyway, I've decided to let this incident pass and have reflected upon it. I've got be careful with my paperwork, be clear and sure in my purpose when conducting my business so that i won't be confused by others.
  Thank God he's watching over me and things have been fine after that. These are just two weird encounters. If I carry on, you guys will fall asleep ZZZZZzzzz
  tell you guys more next time..ta ta!

  Felt like such a blurblock just awhile ago, when I realised that my handphone was actually not SPOILT as i had thought for the past 3 weeks!
  I have been living with my dopod pda handphone for the past 3 weeks, without any ringing sound when people called in...so, inevitably i kept having missed calls.
  So I thought there was some silly problem and was detesting the fact that I had to bring it for service (because there is no loan set and i can't live without my pda!!)
  Lo and behold! My brother was fiddling with it, and found out within seconds that I had not turned up the volume control on the start page of my pda!!! it was such an obvious thing to have checked but can't believe that I was so blur ....
  But i'm happy that i don't have to miss calls anymore, and that I dont have to live withoout my handphone for a few days :o) Thank God for that!
  Anyway, this post doesn't need any replies....just thought i'd share what happened today! :)
  Meanwhile, i just posted my 2nd decent composition....don't know how it is...do give me your feedback :)
