Effort

On my way driving back home last night, ~1145pm.. I suddenly recalled my CL said.. "i think women works differently. If a man approach her, even though she doesn't like him at first, if the man put in effort to care for her, call her, do things for her, etc etc.. eventually, there might be a day that the women will be touched and like the man."

I used to disagree with this statement, however i started to agree with him last night.

And i think of the 5 love languages that i borrowed from star.
I guess my No 1 ranking= "Act of Service".

Recalled the things that a man do and touched my heart..
a.) He drives for hours, just to see me. (Act of Service)
b.) When i said i want to eat something middle of the night, he just straight away buy and bring it to my house for me. (Act of Service)
c.) when i am sad..(even though i tried to suppress and make sure he doesn't notice), he sense it and call me after our group outing just to ask me "are you ok?"(thoughtfulness)
d.) He noticed the things that i love and buy them for me. I think specific example is someone get a camera for me because he said that i love to take "bukan-bukan" photograph. exp: He buy running shoe for me just because i want to run the bridge. exp: he got me diving book just because i love diving.(thoughtfulness)
e.) He just drive round and round the town..the city...giving me time.. just because i cannot decide what do i really want to eat. (Act of Service)
f.) He bring me see doctor when i am sick. (Act of Service)
g.) He cared for me and cover me with blanket, check on me at night when i am sick. (Act of Service)
h.) He makes drink for me.. Ribena!! heeheh~ (Act of Service)

Seems like majority= Act of Service................. Don't they? mmmmm~~

What is the thing you wish to do after you break up?

hahhaa.. so i heard this from the Fly-FM this morning..and the guy said..

"I want to take away all her shoes... and only leave her with a japanese slipper!!!"

hahahaahaahhHHHHHAHAHHH!!!!~~~ apa larrrr..........................

sweet..haha

haahaa... so i went chatting with the office bear... hehee..

"i like you because....
you are fun to be with...
you are practical, not materialistic..
you are low maintenance.. #$#%#%#$%#%#%#%....... (ish!)
and.... you are sweet when you smile~~~ (nasib baik he is smart)"

hahahaha~~ So.. Flying up almost hitting the ceiling..and we went jogging..

"yo.. i am sweet huh?" i said... and he looked at me.. "speechless"... hahahaa

Distance= Speed * Time

So, i went jogging instead of Elijah Challenge. (con call :( )...

30mins, Weight Lost mode, Level 3, completed 4.3KM.

calculation if i run 5KM= 5km/4.3km * 30 mins= 34.88mins!! aiseh........

And Penang Bridge= 22.3KM, meanning= 22.3/4.3 * 30 = 2 hour 35 mins!! wah.. NOt bad arr?? ( if la i can maintain that speed.... speed= 4.3km/0.5 hour= 8.6km/h!!)

My Target for Penang Bridge= 2 hour 30 mins.

How fast should i run??

Speed = Distance/ Time= 22.3KM/2.5 = 8.92 km/h ler!!! wah.. Round the number, meaning i have to maintain 9km/h!!!!!..........

The Elijah Challenge

Being convinced of the "Kingly Annoiting".. (authority to command, boldness;fearlessness, actual power to destroy enemies/works of enemies), i exercised the command........

Looking at my hand.. a little lump there.. i spoke..
"Away from me!!"...

ee.. nothing happen.. :(

Tried again..
"Away from me!!"...

ee.. nothing happen.. :(

Ish, i must have missed something out of the preaching last night due to my early departure for conference call at home.. :~ And i gonna miss tonight too!! ishh!!1 ish!!...

Michael Phelps

wah, i wonder how many GOLD medal is he going to grab this coming BeiJing Olympic?

emmm..

" i think you have grown more matured compare to last time"
A comment made by a close friend of mine.

It makes me think a bit.
Matured or Complicated?

ahahhahaha~~

CG

Ha! Some interesting discovery during CG last nite.

1.) my CGL and another very " see-man"(cantonese-gentle) girl, walow, cannot believe both of them are equally cruel.
exp: see birdnest, with little birdy inside, can just throw out the whole nest coz mess up in their house. errrr.................
exp: when we talk about keeping fish and the fish grow bigger in bigger tank.. they ask.."can it be eaten?".. errrr......

2.) Wah.. that very "see-man" girl... wow, she made fantastic PIZZA and roast rosemary potato!!! Yummyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

!! :D hehehehe~ Though my CG ppl are getting lesser and lesser..(for watever reason.. unknown ).. i pray that we will have stronger bonding among us.. hehehe..~ Pray for CGL to be more patient too.. hahahaa.. :P

Position

Something caught my mind this morning during the townhall in my company.

The craving for recognition and position have caught me into self-awareness.
It feels good to be recognized..
It feels good to have someone pad you on the back and say."Good Job"..
It feels good when you are at a high position in a company and be respected.

And it makes me recall the story of Solomon.
King Solomon had all those, wealth, position, power. But what did he say?
"Meaningless.."

Need to find a balance, don't we?

Need Prayer

It has been sometime that i do not really speak to my ex.
However, we started to talk a few weeks back.

Starting from his concern of me going to sri lanka.. of me going diving.. of me falling sick during diving.. and of my recent directions and decisions in life..

we have come to agree that, perhaps, there's still some emotional attachment where we need to put in some effort to resolve this. Perhaps we have really understand each other too well that, just by a glance/ by a sentence that we write, we are able to 95% accurate about the condition of the other person.

We felt regret and sorry for the broke up.
We felt we both have been growing in the Lord and agreed that breaking up is perhaps the right choice.
Having to move on with life, once decided that it is not good to get married, we need to pray for the emotional attachment that still remained in us to be completely cut off.

I hope for the best of him in his life, his career and perhaps his future partner. :)
Love is not possesion.

What is Marriage?

Having some late night chat with a friend of mine and she has commented on marriage..

"if not ngam, then divorce lar".

I am starting to wonder, with the increasing of divorce rate in the society, has Marriage already lost its original meaning?

I remembered Pastor Isaac taught about Marriage= becoming 1 flesh. (not only in terms of physical, but "something" happen which bound the 2 person together.)

(Genesis 2:21-24) “And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.”

http://www.gotquestions.org/one-flesh-marriage.html

It breaks my heart when i heard of people saying that they wanted to divorce.
Perhaps, i am not in the position to say anything, but i really hope that, both will reconsider the commitment that they have made towards each other in the beginning of their marriage.

And for those that single, life partner is an important decision in life. Pray and seek counsel if needed. :)

My Boss

Lately, i been working closely with my boss.
Planning, feedback, discussions..........

Forgeting some of his weaknesses (lack of listening skills, restless+unstable), i observed some of the good traits in him.

1.) His planning
2.) His efforts to work out a plan and draft something out.
3.) His ability to separate emotion from work.
4.) His boldness to ask

Perhaps, there are a lot for me to learn from him as those things that he is good in, i still have a lot to learn. :) Hope our relationship will be strengthen each day and will build a strong team together. Amen.

Crowning Glory Message

It has been 3 weeks that i did not attend church due to Sri Lanka Trip, Sipadan Trip + Sickness.

And last saturday, as i was having bad flu, i dragged myself and make an effort to present at Crowning Glory. The feeling was not good at all having my nose feeling uncomfortable and those uncle aunties keep asking me.."hey..why do u cry??"..

However, the message spoke to me and reminded me something.
I found that lately i have been planning my life, planning my works, planning my sub-ordinates career goals, planning a lot of things and been taking actions to accomplish them, hopefully one by one....... it has caught me to perhaps, forgetting who is actually in control of all things.

Once again, i was being reminded of..
Luke 14:11 For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

As much as i plan, i know that the outcome is also up to Him.
As much as i tried to achieve many things, again, i want to make sure i am in line with Him, His Plan and His purpose.
As much as i trust my planning+actions, i recommit my plans+actions unto His hand and seek His guidance.

I thank God for many friends/work-partners that crossed path with me lately, whom i really learned quite a lot from each of them. Hope i ll continue to grow in my Maturity this year.

A friend of mine

lately, my perception towards a friend of mine changed a little.

I used to admire his gentleness and quietness. But got disappointed over his rebelliousness + complication.

But lately, as i seek to know him more, i found that...
He is caring, sensitive, seek to help, taking care of other people feeling, and surely he invests a bit in my life.
I admire his tidiness, careful planning and sincerity.

I thank God for this friend of mine and hope the best for him in his life. ;)

MAN

haha, lately been laughing with friends about Man's Ego...

I think the smart women always know how to take care of her man's ego..hahaa...

For example:
If a man cannot find his way, and you complaining/try to teach him......... oh no........... u ll notice the changes in his face la.. (Ego Tercabar)..

hahaa, so if u r tired of taking care of your man's ego.. find someone with lesser ego la.. hehehehehe~~ Smart:P

Discretion

Got feedback in this...

Discretion vs Simplemindedness
Discretion= recognizing and avoiding words, actions and altitudes that could bring undesirable consequences.

*Consider the Consequences- think through each situation and evaluate how your decisions affect others.
*Choose Words Carefully- encourage and instruct others with carefully chosen words that produce constructive results.
*Practice Good Manners- show other the same courtesy you wish to receive from them.
*Learn from Mistakes- observe mistakes in order to devise a better response for future situations.
*Stay Away from Trouble- anticipate potential trouble, and avoid compromising situations.

Evaluate Your discretion:
1.) Do you consider how your actions affect others?
2.) Do you choose words carefully or expect others to understand?
3.) Have you studied the protocol and expectations in each social situation?
4.) Do you discern what caused a mistake and take steps to avoid repeating it?
5.) Do you avoid trouble when possible?

1 by 1

Many things been pondering me lately and i guess, i am a bit under pressured..
Repeatedly, I am asking myself.. "Don't u want to grow?"

if "YES".. then, you have to constantly seek to learn, ready to be bold, take criticism/rejection and learn from it. I guess i am the type who learned through mistake and hard hit on the head.. hhaa!!

So i am glad that i made one of the decision. Hoping as time past, i will be able to see things clearer and made other decisions. Law of Sacrifice.. This always stand. Need to remind myself that, in order to get something, something else need to be sacrifice. :)

Someone reminded me.. Give someone a fish, and it will only last him a meal. Teach him how to fish and it will lasts him for life. :) hope this issue also will be solved...

I made a decision

So, after i..
--gather accurate informations--seek to understand and not assume..clarify..
--weighing the facts, opinions...

I made a decision. :)

Now i need to show commitment to the decision i made and to weather criticism.

Hope I am on the right track.

peserverance?

Decisiveness

I think decision always followed by actions. The actions needed to support the decision made and make it a reality.

Been on this "Character First" thingy from company.
Decisiveness= The ability to recognize key factors and finalize difficult decision.
Key Traits:
1.) Gather Accurate Information -develop the habit of gathering correct information and retaining trusted advisors.
2.) Keep a clear perspective- learn to separate and weigh facts, goals, feelings, interests, and opinions.
3.) Make the right choice - make decisions based on sound morals, wise priorities, and accurate information.
4.) Follow through- demonstrate your commitment to a decision by investing the necessary time, resources and effort
5.) Weather Critism- maintain consistency by making clear commitment to what is right, acknowledging mistakes when necessary.

To evaluate your decisiveness:
1.) Have you maintaned relationships with knowledgeable people and actively studied and evaluated new information?
*Yes. Hope to build more, learn more.
2.) Do you assume your feelings are always accurate?
*sometimes... aiks! but learning to ask and clarify lately.
3.) Is the right decision or the easy decision more appealing to you?
*Right of course!!!.. but i don't deny at times, i tend to choose an easy way out too!
4.) Has the result of a poor decision ever caught you by surprise?
*Usually not surprised me, but more on, when i decide on something, i usually weigh the consequences. And i am blessed that sometime, those consequences doesn't hit me. (thank god!).
5.) Do you often procrastinate, hoping someone else will make a decision for you?
*i think not. I usually cannot stand the feeling of hanging in the middle of being indecisive.... usually i heed good counsel, weigh pros and cons, list down and make a decision. then i ask God to change it if otherwise... Sometimes, i pray for wisdom and guidance and peace of heart too.

UnderWater Photos

nice photos captured by one of the friend i gotta know from Sipadan Diving trip.
Moses Ong- from KK, but been working in US in software for 10 years.

Quite a nice guy.

http://www.mosesong.com/travel/sipadan_trip08h.htm
Upon viewing his photos and videos..i felt as if i was really there once again.. haahha!! So nice!!!

For your information, most photos were blueish because of the sunlight that reached the corals and fishes. It also depends on the camera flash. If sun/flash cannot reach the objects, most of the colourful nature of the fishes and corals cannot be reflected. Now you know how IMPORTANT the sun is! :D

He is using merely a candid camera, Canon. WOW.. he really make me felt that i should get 1 underwater camera for my own use!!!

Dr Foo shared his photos in his blog too.. http://diverfox.blogspot.com/.. Now this is close to me!! Because Dr foo is actually the same team as me ma.. while moses is not... yeah~~ Will share more when Dr Foo posted more of the underwater photos he took!

Death Works In You

**article extracted***
Have you ever gone through a very difficult time in your life? These times make us value life. They make us appreciate the simple things that we took for granted before the crisis. When we are restored from such a trial, it is as though we have been given a new beginning. We can place a greater value on what we had before and use it for His purposes. Perhaps for the first time we can identify with others who find themselves in a similar trial.
I recall having an attitude of superiority over those who went through a difficult financial crisis. Because I had never experienced any financial crisis in my life, this pride kept me from identifying with such people. Then the Lord brought such a trial into my life. I learned a great deal during that period. I learned that the world and even Christians often treat such people as lepers. Like me, they didn't know how to relate. Now, I appreciate the little things that I never would have valued without that trial. The experience taught me greater dependence and faith in the provision area of my relationship with God.
When God brings death to one area of life, he resurrects it in a new way. Death works in us to bring new life and new perspectives. These are designed to press us forward in ways that we never would have moved without the experience. God knows how much this is needed in our life to gain the prize He has reserved for each of us. It is His strategic mercy that motivates Him to bring such events into our life. Press into Him, learn of Him, and rely on Him.

Our Work Versus Our Value

Man was created to have seven basic needs. Each of us has a need for dignity(1), authority(2), blessing and provision(3), security(4), purpose and meaning(5), freedom and boundary(6), intimate love and companionship(7). When we go outside God's provision to meet these needs, we get into trouble.

Every man has a need to work and gain satisfaction in caring and seeing something come from his efforts. Many of our basic needs are derived from our work; it was one of the first acts God did for man in the Garden of Eden. He gave him responsibility to care for and work the Garden. God knew man needed to be productive. He needed to gain satisfaction from his work.

The danger of this is when we allow our work to be our complete source of purpose and meaning in life. This leads to a performance-based life. A performance-based life says, "As long as I perform in my work, I am acceptable to myself and others." This is a subtle trap for all of us. It can lead us to become workaholics if we are seeking acceptance through what we do. Sometimes this can be on a subconscious basis.

Our value must be centered in Christ, not in what we do. If we lose our job or our business, this should not devastate us if we are centered in Him. It will certainly create difficulties, but God is the orchestrator of all the events in our lives for His purposes. Even difficult times have purposes.

Today, ask the Lord if you have a proper balance in your work life. Is Christ the central focus? If you work long hours, ask yourself why. You might discover that God may not be the central focus.

His patience.
His dealing with difficult people.
His answer and enthusiasm to help solve matters.
His tidy and small writing.
His dedication towards solving this issue.

A lot. I throughly thankful for this 2nd trip of Sri Lanka. So much so that i wanted to go back for diving, i suddenly felt that, i will miss this trip. :)

Thanks, Mike. You have indeed taught me a lot of stuffs. Safe Journey.

Diff personality

I found out that diff managers having diff personality and leadership style...
The exposure of me towards diff people these few days..make me aware of certain characteristics..

some were helpful.
some speak right.
some trying to incharge.
some were really ambitious and achieve big!
some were full of experiences.

a lot to learn..............................

Caffeine Allergic?

On coffee just now while we were doing our final brainstorming before heading to the Trincomolee Naval base at 430am tomorrow.

And.. i think my heart is beating fast...............and i am nervous.. a bit restless.

weird.

Anyway, i do hope that we will find the rootcause these few days. Let's strive hard......

Pride

I found the issue of pride in me on the plane to Sri Lanka.

it seems that.. i not so look high on sri lankan?
Suddenly i am aware of this.

Isn't that i need to learn to love all the people regardless of their skin colour?
Isn't that God loves everyone as they do?

mmmm........

from Survival to Revival

I brought the book with me to sri lanka.

Taking hold of the God of breakthrough-moving from survival to revival- Luis Cabral.

Complacency--> dangerous.
Isa 62:6-7 You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent, and give Him no rest...

God does not mind our insistence and determination, He values it.

We need to wake up, move up to the next level, take the challenge and be stir up for Him!

I have learned quite a lot at my first day here, through my conversation with a 21year old doctor-to-be on the plane from KL to Colombo, through the conversation with those senior managers. I need to beware of Complacency.

Let me press on...................... expect big things~ Amen!

After the storms..

Wed were a turning point..
jog 3km in 15mins to cool down.
Went to prayer meet.

I was reminded.. "when the music fades..all is slipped away..."

Nice discussion.
Had a nice dinner last nite.
Nice movie.
Nice present.
New findings for the sri lanka issue.
Nice movie to watch in Sri Lanka from CL.

8 Barriers to communication-Kevin Hogan and Ron Stubbs

99% finish the book.

What are the 8 barriers?
1.) Failure to make a great First (and Second) Impression
2.) Flubbing the Story
-be boring
-talk too long
-speak too slow
-speak in a garbled way so that ppl cannot understand you
-exaggerate when telling your story
-ignore feedback during your story telling
-respond to other ppl's stories with a story of your own
-poke holes in other ppl's special stories
-overtly brag about yourself just a little too much
-not telling your story with intention
3.) Not Listening
4.) Arguing with the Intent to Harm
5.) Criticism
6.) Hostility and Contempt
7.) Ignoring Body Language
8.) Ignoring the Cycle of Communication

Let's see the keypoints i highlighted.
1.) Just ask, don't assume. Don't always already know.
2.) Listen to other and make him/her feel like they were the only one that mattered in the entire world.
3.) Don't expect others to know what you meant.
4.) To truly listen, not just hear someone, but focus on listening to them, be in their shoes when they talk, see the world through their eyes, experience life from their point of view instead of being compelled to express your own.
5.) Listen without judgement/advice.
6.) When someone become argumentative, ask "How can i present counter examples and other points of view to you so that you are not offended and your feelings are not hurt?"
7.) "Nonverbalizers" (people who use few words in the course of a day or a conversation) often become angry when they are asked to express more than they already have said.
8.) To suggest the other person to frame his comments in a more gentle fashion: "I know you aren't saying that to attack me. It just hurts when you say it that way."
9.) Always think of your intention. If your intention is gentle, speak more quietly. People associate quieter tones and gentler intentions.
10.) In conflict, men typically withdraw emotionally while women use an argument to vent their feelings.
11.) The most effective way to get the behavior we want is through praise instead of criticism. Rewarding even small steps can pay off big in the long run.
12.) Always consider the person's feelings and viewpoint
13.) Most people try to be interesting when they should be interested.
14.) Giving that person all your attention, making him/her the most important star in the universe for as long as they are speaking. After they are through speaking, paraphrase what they have said to make sure that their point has been fully understood by you.
15.) A large piece in the communication puzzle is not asking for what you want. Even more dangerous to a relationship is not asking for what you want and expecting the other person to "know" anyway. Instead of going through all the drama of mind-reading, wouldn't it be much easier to express exactly what we want in the first place?

Are You in a Midlife Crisis?

http://www.lhj.com/lhj/quiz.jhtml?quizId=/templatedata/lhj/quiz/data/Midlifecrisisquiz_07152003.xml

You're smack in the middle of your midlife crisis. Go for it!


This is it, baby, and it's an uncomfortable feeling. You're questioning every relationship in your life: with your man, your mother-in-law, your job, your body, and your friends. "Is this all there is?" you wonder. "Is this as good as it gets?"


You also may be feeling incredibly bored with your job, and feel a yearning to learn and do something completely new. If you've been a doctor and want to be a belly dancer, that could be unnerving. You're wondering how you can stay in this current relationship for the rest of your life, or whether it should be broken off. You question who you will be if you no longer look spry and babe-like. All these are questions worth asking, and can lead to positive change.


But if you don't take them seriously, or push them aside, these questions might make you feel suddenly alone and old. Every time you forget something, you panic and think it's a Senior Moment. (In fact, in midlife, your mind is merely fuller than in youth.) You may feel overwhelmed, "as though there were too many electrical appliances plugged into the same wall socket," says Jim Conway, PhD, author of Women in Midlife Crisis (Tyndale, 2000). "A midlife crisis begins with discontent, and then it can erupt into some kind of acting out."


That could mean bad choices: addictions, excesses, or an affair. Perhaps you'll fall into what Conway calls "a cocooning, which is basically hiding from life and hoping it will all go away." Cocooners are subject to depression, and, he says, "women actually do experience depression more than men."


But the transition through the midlife period only becomes a crisis when you get panicky about it. Otherwise, it's not a bad spot, necessarily, and the question-asking can be good. "These are major questions, so don't avoid them," Conway says. "After the process, the person who cocoons can turn into a butterfly."



Am i?? hahaa

How Adventurous Are You?

hahaa.......More tests on me...

You're a Live Wire!


You are the daring one in your circle of friends, the one who got into the most mischief as a child, who drove your parents a bit crazy as a teen, and now are the coolest mom in town.


Your motto is: "Life is short," so you live every day to its fullest, and you are willing to concede mistakes along the way. Always one to throw caution to the wind, you live a life of excitement, but sometimes you end up in tricky situations. You view "stability" as too boring, or as a sign that you are getting older. You want to fight back.


In her book, Life Is Short, Wear Your Party Pants (Hay House Inc., 2003), stress management consultant Loretta LaRoche advises us to heed the words, "You never know." She notes: "Certainly, we need to save for the future, and not simply waste things or indulge ourselves with material goods we don't need. But we should never wait to celebrate life only on special occasions... We need to bring a feeling of celebration into our lives every day. We haven't got time to wait."


Being free-spirited and adventurous is a truly wonderful attribute, and the fact that you are always up to seek a bright new horizon is a unique and exciting quality. However, remember that balance is also a virtue, and although you may long to prowl with the lions in the African plains, don't neglect those six memos due at work!


"Finding the right balance can be a lifelong journey, but it's one that needs to be taken," advises LaRoche. "Each time you ask yourself if you're balanced, it gives you an opportunity to pause and reflect. It allows you to be conscious about the decisions you're making instead of blindly following the herd off a cliff." La Roche refers to the inability to control the adventure craving as your "inner 2-year-old." Once you combine your "go where no man has gone before" spirit with your "I have 17 loads of laundry to do" reality, you'll have balance! In the end, says LaRoche, you'll be able to celebrate your life more often, because you will realize you can't have everything. You already have quite enough.

Enneagram - Your Results
Your Enneagram Type(s): Type 7
Sevens have a fear of being deprived, of being in pain. (wow..really meh??) They tend to be lighthearted and sunny, often addicted to planning and play. (ha! this i agreed) Sevens are buoyed by a belief that life is unlimited -- there are always interesting things to do. (agree 100%)
Possible origins. Faced with a frightening early life, Seven children diffused their fear by escaping into the limitless possibilities of imagination.( ??? frightening early life?? did my mum accidentally slapped me counted? ) They have pleasant memories of their childhood years. Even with an objectively bad scenario, there is little residue of hatred or blame. The skew of attention is toward positive memory. By moving toward pleasure and away from pain, they tend to remember the best. (err.. may be kut...... almost forgot who did i last date.. hahahhaa , joke)

ooo, so i am a TYPE 7 ?

*************Let me check out the detail of Type 7................*******************************
TYPE SEVEN: THE EPICURE
Sevens have a fear of being deprived, of being in pain. They tend to be lighthearted and sunny, often addicted to planning and play. Sevens are buoyed by a belief that life is unlimited -- there are always interesting things to do.
Possible origins. Faced with a frightening early life, Seven children diffused their fear by escaping into the limitless possibilities of imagination. They have pleasant memories of their childhood years. Even with an objectively bad scenario, there is little residue of hatred or blame. The skew of attention is toward positive memory. By moving toward pleasure and away from pain, they tend to remember the best.
Flawed Sevens can allow their appetites to get out of control. This is characterized by a bodily hunger for excitement and experience. ( this is 100% true) Sevens have a gourmet taste for experience, little tastes of the very best, rather than an overdose of a single experience meal. Typically they cannot stand inactivity. They stay active, but that activity is not necessarily productive: it has a restless quality about it. They delight in making plans for the future but are not good at following through on them. (haahhahaa.........what ashame......!! not following through..... )
As managers, they may introduce fascinating but conflicting options. They don't like to give and enforce direct orders. They try to make everyone feel like an equal participant in order to eliminate the possibility of confrontation. (eee..seems i always kena confrontation lerr..)
Well-Adapted Sevens get over their intense fear of being deprived. Instead of consuming life, they learn to contemplate it, to plumb the depths of experience rather than to merely skim its surface. They overcome their wariness of others sufficiently to form, selectively, close and long-term attachments. They stick with tasks and occupations long enough to do them justice. Their enthusiasm and pleasure they take in what they do is infectious. Sevens are sought after for their enthusiasm and vitality and for their desire to share the enjoyment they feel.
They bring an optimism to their work, and once they get engaged they can get a lot done and take contagious pleasure in their accomplishment. At their best, they are highly productive generalists, talented in a variety of areas. (wow...pai seh pai seh) Precocious as children, they grow up to be especially intelligent and multi-talented. They may settle successfully into roles in which they can apply their abundant practical intelligence to executing short-run plans or exploring new territory. (Short-run plans..--> may be i should let my boss know.. hahaa)
Occupations. The entertainment field is filled with Sevens, both well-adapted and flawed. Sevens are often editors, writers, or storytellers. As managers, they are the jacks-of-all-trades, knowledgeable and skilled in a number of areas. Because they learned at a young age to fend for themselves, they are survivors who are good people to have around when an organization is having trouble keeping its head above water. They are planners and synthesizers and idea gatherers.
Finding Oneself:Sevens will probably agree with most of the following statements:
I tend to make things interesting, to make things nice. (--> agree)
There are very few things in life which I can't enjoy. (--> agree)
I usually look on the bright side of things and don't look for the negative side of life. (--> agree)
"I must be defective if I need help." (--> disagree)
People say I'm often the life of the party. (--> agree)
I often feel stuck and bored with commitment -- I like to keep my options open. (--> agree..unless someone really can make me willing to commit lar..wahahaha)
I tend to be very enthusiastic about the future. (--> agree)
I seem to be attached to youth and energy. (--> agree)
Most of the time I avoid getting into really "heavy" issues. (--> heavy?? life vs death?? don understand.......)
I find myself expressing anger by making fun of the problem. (--> sometimes)

Sex Scandal

It seems to me that many sex scandals been going on lately.
From the minister of health.and now moving on to my beloved actor, Edison Chen.

I was disapointed with him at first..
and moving on with empathy.
My major concern, what would those actresses felt?
How would they face the future?
How would they face their family, friends, husband?
Marriage was ruined.
Engagement was halted.

I suddenly recalled a chapter in the bible.
John 8
1But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" 6They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." 8Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"
11"No one, sir," she said. "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."

God is love and non-condemning. I prayed that they will be alright, be strong and courageous in their future. Learned from this lesson, forgiven and move on. :)
Matt 7:1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you"

Off Course

Woke up and prayed this morning. Business trip followed by Chinese New Year Celebrations, it has been sometime that i did not quietly seek Him.

I suddenly felt i am not quite myself lately.
RESTLESS, distracted, agitated.
Overly vigorous.
Controlled. Reigned over.
Disorientated.
Apprehensive.

I was reminded of the goals i wanted to accomplish.

The Art of Skillful Romance

From boy meets girl by Joshua Harris.

1.) Romance says, "I want it now!" Wisdom urges patience
Proverbs 19:11 A man's wisdom gives him patience.
Wisdom calls us to slow down. We can be patient because we know that God is sovereign and that He is faithful. Psalm 38:15 "I wait for you, O Lord; you will answer, O Lord my God".
Patience is an expression of trust that God can serve up an exquisite relationship. This lets us enjoy each part of our love story. We can be faithful and content right where we are--whether it's in friendship or courtship or engagement-- and not try to steal the privileges God has reserved for a later season.

2.) Romance say, "This is what I want and it's good for me." Wisdom leads us to consider what's best for the other person.
James 3:17 The wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
We glorify God in our relationships when we put our needs aside and base our decisions on what serves the interests of the other person. The kinds of questions we ask when we are guided by a selfless desire to do what's best for another:

• Is starting this relationship now what's best for him?
• Will expressing all my feelings now serve her?
• Are my actions encouraging him to love God more?
• Am i communicating clearly and in a way that helps her?
• Does the way i dress encourage him to have a pure thought life?
• Will kissing her be what's best for her in the long run?

3.) Romance says, "Enjoy the fantasy." Wisdom calls us to base our emotions and perceptions in reality

Proverbs 19:2 It is not good to have zeal without knowledge, nor to be hasty and miss the way. Wisdom calls us to base feelings on accurate information, not on distortions. In the season of courtship, we have to fight the tendency to fill what's lacking in our knowledge of the other person with emotion based on fantasy. If we don't know something about him or her, we need to talk, ask probing questions, and discover who they really are--their values, their motivations, their goals. We need to move beyond typical, artificial dating activities and observe each other in real-life settings-- in families, in church life, with friends, handling pressure at work. Courtship is a time to see the good, the bad and the ugly in the one we love.

:)

Question "How do we know when it's the right time to start a courtship?"

The basic answer to the question is that you are ready to start a courtship when you can match romance with wisdom.

• Are you able to be patient?
• can you set a clear course for the relationship?
• Are your emotions based in reality?

The right time and age to start pursuing marriage will be different for each of us. But the one thing we should all have in common i waiting until romance can be guided by wisdom. Then we can experience the season of courtship at the right time and the right pace with a clear purpose and a clear head. :)

The Kite and The String

From boy meets girl by Joshua Harris;)

The relationship between wisdom and romance is like the one between a string and a kite. Romantic love is the kite that catches the wind and tenaciously heads for the sky; wisdom is the string that tugs downward, holding it back. The tension is real, but healthy.

There are times when a kites feels tied down by the string. "If this bothersome string would just let go of me, I could fly really high," the kite might think. But that isn't true, is it? Without the string holding it in the face of the wind, the kite would quickly come crashing to the ground.

In the same way, romance without wisdom will soon take a nosedive. It becomes selfish, indulgent, and even idolatrous. Have you been in a relationship like this? Have you witnessed such a relationship in the life of a fiend? What was it missing? The answer is wisdom.

It's not enough to simply have romantic feelings. Anyone can do that! Long-lasting romance needs practical, commonsense wisdom that knows when to let the wind of feelings carry us higher and when to pull back. When to express our emotions and when to keep quiet. When to open our hearts and when to rein them in.

;)

When God is presense..

The passage of Genesis 39 spoke to me tonight. ;)

Genesis 39:11-23
11 One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. 12 She caught him by his cloak and said, "Come to bed with me!" But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house.
13 When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, 14 she called her household servants. "Look," she said to them, "this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. 15 When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house."
16 She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. 17 Then she told him this story: "That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. 18 But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house."
19 When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, "This is how your slave treated me," he burned with anger. 20 Joseph's master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king's prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, 21 the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. 22 So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. 23 The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph's care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.

Adopted from my bible..
1.) 39:9- Potiphar's wife failed to seduce Joseph, who resisted this temptation by saying it would be a sin against God. Joseph didn't say "i will be hurting you", or "I will be sinning against Potiphar", or "i will be sinning against myself". Under pressure, such excuses are easily rationalized away. Remember that sexual sin is not just between two consenting adults. It is an act of disobedience against God.

2.) 39:10-15 Joseph avoided Potiphar's wife as much as possible. He refused her advances and finally ran from her. Sometimes merely trying to avoid temptation is not enough. We must turn and run, especially when the temptations seem very strong, as is often the case in sexual temptations.

3.) 39:21-23 As a prisoner and slave, Joseph could have seen his situation as hopeless. Instead, he did his best with each small task given him. His diligence and positive attitude were soon noticed by the warden, who promoted him to prison administrator. Are you facing a seemingly hopeless predicament? At work, at home, or at school, follow joseph's example by taking each small task and doing your best. Remember how God turned Joseph's situation around, He will see your efforts and can reverse even overwhelming odds.

Amen!
I thank God tonight for the passages.

* Twelve killed, over one hundred injured by double blasts in Sri Lanka capital

Sunday, February 3, 2008, 14:46 GMT, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Feb 03, Colombo: At least twelve people were killed and over 100 others were wounded when a female suicide bomber exploded herself inside the Fort Railway Station this afternoon. The deadly blast came hours after a small bomb explosion at the Dehiwala Zoological Gardens, police said.
They said the suicide bomber triggered her bomb when the security forces started conducting a random check inside the railway station as part of security measures for the Independence Day celebration tomorrow.
“We believed the suicide bomber had no other alternative, but explode herself when the security forces were checking everyone inside the station,” a senior police official said. He also said that among the dead are two children and several women, while a large number of children and women are also among the injured.
In Dehiwala, a small explosion was reported, injuring four civilians who were visiting the zoo. “All of the injured were not in critical condition and a special inquiry is on to find the attackers,” a police spokesperson said.

* Sri Lanka Police urge public to stay on high alert

Saturday, February 2, 2008, 15:28 GMT, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Feb 02, Colombo; Hours after a bomb blast in the north central town of Dambulla that killed 18 civilians and injured 50, the police authorities today called on the people to be aware of the LTTE game plan and take action immediately regarding any suspicious persons and parcels in public places.
“These terrorist attacks are also designed to raise tensions among the people in the South and at the same time to disrupt their normal lives and day to day activities,” Police Spokesman DIG N.K Illangakoon told media.
The DIG stated that investigations reveal that the conductor of the bus in which the explosion occurred had noticed two suspicious persons getting into the ill- fated bus at Matale and getting off at Naula.
“Had the conductor been more aware and sensitive to the tactics of the terrorists he would have averted the disaster which occurred today at the bus stand in Dambulla,’’ he said.
The majority of those passengers in the ill-fated bus were traveling to the city of Anuradhapura to attend a Buddhist religious function.
