Seriously man...

Haha recently I was bombarded by this particular question. Is not only 1 or 2 person who asked the question but is like quite a few of them. I was like... Wha seriously man... Haha I think you might be able to guess what the question is la. That is "When are you getting a boyfriend ah? Not young already lei..." Haha, I thought it was not my turn to answer or think about this question yet considering there are a lot other people who are unattached and older than me :P I guess it's time for me to face it man and also to get use to people asking me this question. But seriously la, I will think and pray about it once in a while la BUT I think I will just leave everything to God. Im sure HE had plan for me so I will just let the nature take its course??? Hahah No idea man.... :) Anyway sometimes during my deep thought, I will imagine IF let say I am attached, what will my life priority be like? Hey I really gave a serious thought on this and I think this is how I will rank it:

(1) God
(2) Church
(3) Family
(4) Career
(5) Friends
(6) Boyfriend OR MAYBE |(5) Friends + Boyfriend ??|
(7)....(10++) the rest of other stuff.....

Haha, I feel a bit paisei when i'm writing this lor but anyway this is just a thought la!!! Interesting ah lol! (",)

Reflection from Mulan

A very nice song, bring back childhood memories...

Princess is BACK!!

I am now finally updating my blog which almost turn mouldy after the busy period I had for the past few weeks and months haha lol! Events after events come with more new experiences, thoughts and reflections. The recent RAIN camp, Christmas Actually dinner, Block parties everywhere, cell bonding, office parties etc... had set me to think, reflect and learn. I have to admit that I am a deep thinker haha, for those who know me well should know that la. I should'nt say that this is a bad thing but I feel that sometime it is good to put on your thinking cap and reflect on certain things. I likes to do that during my free time or when I'm day dreaming in the office or at home esp on a raining day haha! 2007 is coming to an end and as I reflected back on the things I have done this year, I am really very proud of myself because I can see that I have grown a lot in terms of spiritually, maturity and of course physically! lol! (as in prettier la.. haha just kidding :p no la i guess fitter?? haa BUT it is definitely NOT growing side way (",) man!) I have learnt to let go of certain things, get on with life and focus on more serious stuff. Therefore, I am not the 2006 Geraldine anymore hee hee! God had been good to me and I am really really THANKFUL for what he had done in my life and for the people he sent into my life whom they gave me lots of joyous and exciting moments... This christmas was a cold, fat and a busy one. The Dec weather was really a cold one man. I have not been switching on my air-con for at least 2 months?? See, I am trying to save the electricity lei haha! I have also eaten lots of log cakes, ham, chicken, pork knuckles etc... during this festive season and I tell you, its so fattening man!! BUT luckily I am still maintaining my weight well hahaha! I had also a busy week thinking of what christmas present to buy for people... So do you think is that what christmas is just all about? Nope, there is more to it.... This is a devotion that I came upon and I was reminded again....

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I heard that someone actually tried to calculate how much it would cost to give the gifts named in the classic Christmas song, "The Twelve Days of Christmas." The grand total came to about $15,000.

Some items were affordable, like a partridge in a pear tree for $34.99. Six turtledoves will run you somewhere around $50. Six geese-a-laying will cost around $150.

But the price soars when you add 11 pipers piping. That is $1,000 right there. Then there are the 12 drummers drumming. With current union scale for musicians, they will run you another $1,000.

The price really soars when you get 12 lords-a-leaping. We are talking $3,000 for them. Granted, I don't know where you would find them, but they are very expensive.

But the real message of Christmas is not the gifts we give each other. Rather, it is a reminder of the gift that God has given to each of us. It is the only gift that truly keeps on giving, so I want to point out four things about it.

First, it is surprising. When Christmas rolls around, you often try to figure out if certain people have bought that gift you really wanted. Maybe you already know what they bought, because they didn't hide it very well. Or maybe you uncovered it by accident—or maybe not. But when the day comes and you open the present, you have to pretend you're surprised. Yet all along, you knew what it was. God's gift to us, however, was a complete surprise. It was not expected and, as you examine it more carefully, you realize how great a gift it actually was.

Second, God's gift came to us in the humblest of wrappings. What would you think if you saw a gift under your Christmas tree that was wrapped in newspaper and tied up with string? At first, you would probably assume that a guy wrapped it.

But think about God's gift to us. Jesus was not born in a palace of gold; He was born in a stable. He was clothed in rags. He was laid in a feeding trough. Yet these things do not, in any way, diminish the story of Christ's birth. If anything, they help us realize the great sacrifice God made for us. God's gift to humanity, the ultimate gift of eternal life through His Son, Jesus Christ, came in the simplest and humblest of wrappings.

Third, we don't deserve this gift. At Christmas, we give gifts to the people we care about, the ones who have been kind to us over the past year, or the ones who have given us a gift first. We don't give gifts to the person who has been slandering our name, or to the angry neighbor who never has a kind word to say. Yet God gave us His gift when we were His enemies. He didn't give this gift to us because we deserved it. In fact, it was just the opposite. The Bible tells us, "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8 NKJV).

Fourth, the gift tells us something about the giver. When you want to give someone a gift, you start thinking about it ahead of time. Hopefully, you try to find what that person wants or needs. When God decided to give us the gift of eternal life, it wasn't something that He just thought of on the fly. Long before there was a town called Bethlehem, a garden called Eden, or a planet called Earth, a decision was made in eternity that God would send forth His Son, born of a woman, to redeem those who are under the law.

The Bible says that He was slain from the foundation of the world (see Revelation 13:8). Make no mistake about it: this gift that God has given to us was the most sacrificial thing He possibly could have offered.

So Christmas isn't about those gifts that you have under your tree right now. All of those things will be gone one day. All that will be left after this life is the human soul, and that will live forever. We will put so much stock in what we have, but this is all going to pass away.

Life is about what happens beyond the grave. Life is about knowing the God who made you and who gave you the greatest gift you will ever receive.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Personally I feel that giving gifts on during christmas is also a way of showing God's love to other people and it doesn't matter how much it cost and how big is that, agree?? To end of, just wanna to say a very BIG Merry Christmas to everyone!

Let me be a live testimony to testify your greatest love!

I'm flying on the Jet Plane....

Over over my current position is in Thailand airport in one of the lounges haha! Since I'm so free now so thought of spending this time to update my blog. You may ask me what am I doing in Thailand at this wee hour? Haha the reason is because in an hour time, I will be sitting on the Jet Plane to Germany-Frankfurt!! Ain't that exciting??? I have been looking foward to this trip like a month ago and finally the day has come! My first time to a European country! Envy ah? haa lol! :) Anyway, I kept telling my colleague that I have this kind of mixed feeling for this trip, half the time I am feeling really excited but somehow or rather I feel a bit nervous. I guess the trip to my final destination-KASSEL is quite complicated because after reaching Franfurt airport, I need to take a train and then to take a cab to my hotel upon reaching KASSEL. I have done quite a lot of research on KASSEL in the internet but there is not much information about it. Maybe this explains why I am so nervous haha but anyway just leave everything to God, he will make a way for me and my colleague. I believe it will be a good trip!! Ok, I shall stop here, need to catch on to my next flight. I will try to update the blog with more stories about my trip! Ciao...!

Joke of the day!!

Haha let me tell you a joke must laugh ok? Whahaa lol! Yesterday, I was asking my colleague to help me to unlock and reset the password for my user in the system. My user ID in the system is "DV80FOO" which she does know about it since she worked here for more than 1 year already??? However, I do not know how come she typed in as "DV80FOOL". I was behind her watching and I am quite stunt. A lot of question mark flying around my head lor and at that time I don't know whether I should laugh or feel offended.... Ok thats a small joke for the day, hope you like it whhahahaha! **Oh man how come im luffing at my own joke lol.... Yawn... back to work....

10 reasons why I believe in Christ?

These are the 10 reasons that I have come up... Haha I took almost few hours to come up with all the reasons :)

1)God sent his son, Jesus to die on the cross and wash away our sins!

2)God is so real to me. Through these years as a Christian, I really experience God’s love, graciousness, kindness, faithfulness etc... That is why Christianity is not a religion. It is a relationship with God, as you know him better; you will know that he is more than a friend. He is a special someone!

3)I like this unique relationship where I can pour out all my worries to HIM. When I am happy, I will share the joy with God. God is the one that had been guiding me through difficulties. He gave good advice and even a warning sign when I took the wrong route in my life. He also sent many people into my life whom had been a blessing to me through these years…

4)God is a miracle God! He saved my life 3 years ago in a cassna crash accident. This is indeed a great testimony! I am able to share this with all my friends testifying God’s goodness and miraculous intervention!

5)God is a forgiving and gracious God. Whenever I have done something wrong, I know God always never fail to forgive me. He never blames. However, it is a learning lesson from him to me and I am really grateful to him! This is where I gain the experience as a Christian!

6)Wonderful stories ever told – The bible! Interesting stories written in it and I enjoyed reading it. I am able to learn a lot from the bible.

7)I enjoy worshipping him. I love the praise and worship songs. I love to dwell in God’s presence when I can completely focus on him alone. Whenever I sing his song, there is peace within me, it is such a special feeling. I remember when my dad is lying in the hospital having great pain; we will sing all the worship songs to him. Whenever the songs are being sung, we can see the pain in him decreases and the next thing you know, he is sleeping soundly already. Haha, I miss my DAD!! 

8)I have received a lot of blessings from God in terms of friendship, spiritual gifts, money, occupation etc…

9)I enjoy serving the Lord!

10) AND all and above, GOD loves me and I love GOD! My great daddy!

Have you given a thought on what are the 10 reasons for believing in Christ?
