Thoughts About 2009

How time flies! We had an awesome service in church today. Really loved the song performed by Annabel, Alison & Sandy! It was an awesome trio and they were SO GOOD! Seriously. Haha. Loved the fact that they performed a guy's song and added a special touch to it. Really fantastic.

2009 came by and passed. But I am really thankful to Jesus that this is the year I have grown in my self-esteem. I have become a much more confident person. I pray that in 2010, I will become a much more confident person, like you know.. going on to perfection. haha. I pray that my sense of self will be rooted in Christ Jesus alone.

Just wanna take this opportunity to thank Pastor for all the teachings on grace that he has taught us. That we are of Jesus' tribe. That we are all loved and accepted by God, that we do not need to do more things to earn his favour or to impress Him. Truly salvation is by faith and not works. Thank you linying for telling me this a long time ago.

In 2010, I also pray that I can forge strong godly friendships in church, so that life as a Christian will always be meaningful.

Thank you Pastor & Kee Liang for ever believing in me. Thank you the senior leaders like Ruxin who always give me opportunities to perform onstage. Haha. Thank you W357 & W476 with all your friendship, encouragement, cards, JOKES and sharings. I used to not enjoy certain times with you.

However, after hearing JJ's testimony today, I am convicted that we should all cherish our friends and family members who are still around. If not, it will be too late to let them know how much you love them. Hence, I just wanna say, I LOVE YOU ALL. Thank you so much for all your imprints in my life in 2009 :D 2010 will be the BEST YEAR YET TO COME! AMEN! :D

Sing Sing Sing

I have been working for almost 4 months now.

working life in a french bank is nice at first, because the view from my office is really NICE, can see the seas at the Marina area and the 3 blocks of casinos coming up.

i keep telling myself, one day, i'll fly away, to the vast oceans, to visit the world... HAHA.

there are many french/swiss expats in my office. but seldom have a chance to lunch with them cuz they seem like busy ppl..

i hope to lunch with abby, adora and ym more often, but sometimes they are just so busy till we can't even meet for lunch, even though our workplace is soo near one another...

hmms. my manager is really good, she loves to buy things for me to eat. otherwise in terms of career advancement, i dunno if i will really stay long in the present company. i love to sing, dance, act and perform. the things that i do now in a french bank are totally not singing, dancing, acting and performing.. HAHA.

have you ever wondered how does a sycamore tree look like?

wow... it has been soo long since i last updated my blog..

was reading my previous entries and realised that i was really childish in the past (like earlier this yr.. HAHA!)

hmmm.. felt a bit funny to read back-dated entries which i wrote..

anyway, i attended an Overnight Prayer Mtg in church yesterday.. and yes, Pst shared a great sermon from the book of Ruth..

and the gist of it is this - that God is ever-ready to bless, ever-ready to give. The problem is whether we are READY to receive!! :D

Wow.. Yes, God, I AM EVER-READY TO RECEIVE!

I AM EVER READY TO RECEIVE MY DOUBLE PORTION FROM YOU! :D

Thank you Abba Father.

hello guys, i wanna know u more! everys single one of u... pls intro urselves to me once again okayy??

hmmmzz, help me know u more as a person... if not i'll really miss out on so many wonderful moments in W357 & W476...

God bless all of you this week!! :)

Pst Kong is on Twitter!

Wow Pst Kong is on twitter. did you follow him on that? I do, almost everyday, because his days are always filled with adventure. haha.. like dining at Woolloomooloo Wharf, sailing in the sea, etc etc!

His friendliness also made me realised a BIG revelation - that God is a super-friendly God! haha.

Well because of that, I gotta live life joyfully every single day, thanking Him for all the good things He's done for me in my life! Thank you Abba Father! :D

Marriage/Relationships

Today's service was soo good as Dr Dyson talked about family/relationships between the husband and wife.

Wells, I left the service with several thoughts as I never knew that marriage is actually a "classroom"in which our character is refined and we becoming more Christ-like in the process.

And, there is actually no marriage in Heaven. Haha. You either learn it now or you don't.

So, I learnt a big lesson that marriage is actually about me being the right person myself for my spouse, and not me trying to "harp" my future husband into becoming the perfect husband for me. Haha.

Really, Christianity is again about servanthood, being an awesome person myself so that I can be a blessing to others.

I hope God can give me a BIGGER heart and capacity, so that I can appreciate all the peope around me in my life, and love them like how Jesus will (although this is really a HUGE statement per se), and be a less self-centred person.

25 Random Things About Tiffany

U know, there has been a fad on Facebook recently, titled "25 Random Things About Me."

I thought a list of 25 is way too long, i shall cut it short to 10. HAHAHA..

so here it goes!!

1) I had a completely boyish haristyle when I was in primary school - for the whole of 6 years. and it looked as if it was cut placing a bowl on top of my head as a guideline.

2) I have a fad for chocolates.... but too much of it makes me gain weight... and i gain weight real quick!! :(

3) I enjoy taking the Theatre Studies module in NUS. It is the most interesting session I've ever attended because there are practical sessions in a dance studio which I can act and hop around in front of a HUGE WALL OF MIRROR for 2 full hours every week. HAHAA..

4) I would love to go the the USA one day, maybe for my honeymoon trip! ^^

5) I like to act and pose in front of a mirror, but sometimes I'm really shy, so I gotta be BOLDER in this aspect!!!

6) I enjoy long telephone conversations with my best best friends. haha. but that was a long long time ago.

7) one of my best friends in secondary sch - her email add is sunnyhobbit@hotmail.com. hahaa..

8) I'm a really talkative girl, can chat like non-stop. My late grandma used to call me "Little Bird" in the Kiangsi dialect because I am really a chirpy girl!! I'm the most talkative person in the family.

9) I like to bug ppl - Why is this happening? why is that happening? when I'm watching shows, so my family can't really stand me in this aspect. hahaaha.

10) I am so blessed to be in CK zone, so blessed to know the leaders in CK zone, ppl like darice, huijuan, keeliang, linying, pastor, evelyn. they form a huge core of my friendships in the church. and of course, cheryl, tina, aron chew, yujie, lina, ailing, aileen goh. i think life will be really miserable if i hadn't met you guys!!! hahaa.. really!

you gave me so much laughter and love. thank you for being my brothers and sisters in Christ!

and now, we're a family that loves, loves, loves, loves another... we're a family that cares, cares, cares, for our sisters and brothers.... ^^ Thank you for being my family! :D

TIFFANY IS BACK!!

Hello guys!!

haven't been blogging for SOOOO LONG... until recently abby bugged me, and, i went to read up on Pastor CK's and Evelyn's blog... hahaa.. and i was so amazed by their blog entries!

haha. although they are our leaders in this zone, their blogs are sooo candid and funny, and they are so REAL. hahaha. that's why i've plucked up the courage to tell myself that hey, my blog entries can also be intersting, funny, witty, candid!!

thanks to pastor and evelyn and keeliang also lah. haha.

anyways, was reading kee liang's blog. didn't know that he and President Obama shared so many similarities. haha. i'm sure keeliang will become somebody great like President Obama one day!! :D
