I live in Punggol

Beary-eyed pandress speaking. Attended a colleague's wedding. 1 wedding down. 2 more to go this month and 1 final one to close the year next month. *red bombs!!* haha was joking with my colleague that what goes ard comes ard. Then he said,"But what if I don't get married?" Hee then you lu-gee loh! :P

Anyway, the whole fanfare ended kinda late. A hero came to the rescue of 3 stranded damsels who were trying hard to hail a cab along the highway. Right. Thankful that my boss dropped us off at Paya Lebar. Was supposed to go back to Punggol last night ... but I think it makes more economical sense to go back to my house at Bendemeer (aka whampoa south or boon keng).

Been staying at Punggol since last Sunday. A luxurious and well-furbished flat. Everything is spanking clean and new. Fresh air and quiet surroundings. Accessible by LRT or bus 136. Comfy bed and personal restroom. Fridge well-stocked up with goodies and munchies - and a pack of Neutrogena sheet mask bought at a steal at Punggol Plaza Watsons :p Well, if only my office is at Punggol ... guess you can't ask for best of everything. And almost everyday bumped into my Punggol colleague and wife - and I be running after the bus 136. Deja vu. But I've truly enjoyed my Punggol living. :)

Was glad that I managed to make it for the 288 meeting on Tuesday night. Getting off work been a challenge this week. I agreed with what Ps Eugene preached that night. Abt the theme 'Year of Victory' for 2007. Enter the year with thanksgiving and being a blessing. And being a Warrior of Light for God. This Warrior of Light thingy, I think it sounds very familiar .. think I read it off Ben Chong's blog before. Anyway, it was an Amen! I felt God spoke to me about this personally too. Think this was shared by Ps Lawrence too in one of his recent sermons, which oops I didn't go service that week cos fell sick ... and oops no initiative to listen to online sermon :p

I know that one of the many things for me to work on in terms of character building next year is discipline and responsibility. I have a tendency to procrastinate and take things lightly. The 'do it later' and 'aiya nevermind lah' syndrome. Which I have labelled them as low 'C' characteristics. Guess it calls for faithfulness in the things I do.

And this thing about only a dead man has no rights to say he has sacrificed too much. When Ps Jeff first said it, I was like, chimz. Then ya, dead man dead already what, how to complain? he can't complain anyway even if he wants to. Precisely. Still in the process of being sold out for God and throwing off everything else and doing everything that He calls me to do.

My question has always been "what to do?". Guess I will know what to do when the heart is ready for it ... and of course, every step of faith out of comfort zone helps to ready the heart for bigger things. I was wondering where does the Tent ministry lead me ... and hey, I got an sms from Gemma on the same Tues nite that there's some activity going on in Dec and asking to stay tune. Cool! :)

Oh yes, I agree with the "Break Out" theme too. I had sensed the Lord told me to "step out".. and lately, I felt that the energy level got to be upped. And hey, break out sounds good! Oh Lord, please redeem this word for You. Not pimple break out! haha .. speaking of which, I got 3 red bumps on my forehead. Yes, they form (bermuda) triangle.

Ok .. thought I better get started on my weekend assignment. I sent some late drafts yesterday evening that I would send a more refined draft today. Paper due for Board submission on Mon ... see lah, how last minute can I get? Argghh .. got to change! Not by might nor by power, but by the Spirit of God!!

Ciao .... going East Coast cycling later ... then back home ... then dinner in town .. then Punggol ... fun filled Saturday :)

Faster finish my work first! haha
