There has been so much spoken about change. Especially over the General Elections, people expect change to take place but the truth is are we ready for change? Is the situation too sickening that we are ready to move on to the next level? Are we truly tired of the things that are taking place in this nation? Or we are just merely hoping for something better but even if there is no change we are comfortable? 

True change can only come when the people are tired and sick of the current situation and are ready to move on to the next level. Where the current is not sufficient. When they are tired of the current situation and they can't bear to live another day until they see change come to pass. 

Based on the after effects of the GE13, its quite clear that we are still quite comfortable with the things around us. In fact, many of us are satisfied with the current situation we are in. The common trend is if it doesn't affect me, I am ok. We are still having food on the table, a house to live in, a job that pays well and I get to travel around so that is enough but such complacency is a guaranteed formula for destruction. Before we know it, day will pass and night will dawn. We need to open our eyes and start looking at the things around us. Doesn't mean it doesn't affect us that it doesn't affect others. 

If our rights are considered what about the rights of the others? Is everyone's welfare looked into? Are there any side-line groups? 

As a citizen for this nation and also a person standing in the gap for this nation, we need to start rising up to play our respective roles before night dawns. While its still day we need to start toiling the ground so that when night falls we are well prepared. 

Its not about toppling the government. Its about filling it with people who has the interest of the citizens at heart. Who wants to see truth and justice prevailing in the nation. People who wants to see their fellow country men rising up to their fullest potential. Seeing their neighbours having necessities and every citizen having a place where they can call home. 

Let the watchmen of this city awake! To blow the trumpets! Only then we can see this city coming to its full glory! Indeed the Lord on High has given us a good and bountiful land.

Its been rather interesting to have both my niece camping over at our homes. Feels strange to have kids again in the house. One thing we realised was how the house has become so 'adult' that it is no longer child friendly. Anyway although the both of them are so hyperactive, I enjoyed having them around. The past 2 months have been good times just having simple hang out sessions with the extended family. 


It is already the end of the 2nd week of July. The office feels weird with new people around and the old ones gone. There is no time to feel sad or even to stop and think about the change in office as I have been so busy in office. Just rushing from one task to the next. I have to say, that when I have a list of to do items, I must see them removed from the list and before I know it the moon has come out. I leave office everyday with my head throbbing and the train ride seems to be quite good at just calming the nerves and bringing some sort of sanity back to me before I reach home. 

I wonder what's in store for the second half of the year. Without my sifu in office around and having 2 new colleagues sitting next to me, I am sure in for change. Well, only time will tell how long I will remained but as for now shall make the best use of time in office. 

Glad I finally went out with Timothy 'a blind colleague' that I have known for nearly 3 years now. Its strange how I can go to office and be so caught up with everything and the people around me can just drown in the background. I was so refreshed with the lunch meet up with Tim. I met other blind people in the bank and saw the world through their eyes. Only in the darkness do we learn to walk by faith.

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve;

I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked God for health, that I might do greater things;
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.
I asked for riches, that I might be happy;
I was given poverty, that I might be wise.
I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men;
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.
I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life;
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing that I asked for but everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.
I am among men, most richly blessed.*

How often I quickly forget that its not about me but its about my Father in heaven. Yesterday, one person at the seminar said, how come during weekends is easier to obey God but during the week it is not so easy. In fact, the focus is on work, family and the day to day chore. The speaker (Colin Hurt) said this, it is because you carry the presence of God during the weekends because you get filled in church. However, during the weekdays you get so carried away that you forget to come before Your Father. You should carry His presence to your homes, work place and community, that's when everyday will feel like a weekend.

I would say that the comment given by the speaker is so true.

Well God lead me in the decisions I have to make and choice I have to take so that I will walk in my destiny for your name sake.

God is faithful. Post elections woes surrounds the nation but I am truly touched to see how everyone has been coming together to build this nation. Lots more work will need to be done till we see our nation coming to its destiny. I am comforted that the words of Habakkuk 2 and 3 just summarizes everything. God's answers and Habakkuk's response.

[Excerpts of the chapter]

For the revelation awaits an appointed time;
    it speaks of the end
    and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait for it;
    it[c] will certainly come
    and will not delay.

Lord, I have heard of your fame;
    I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord.
Repeat them in our day,
    in our time make them known;
    in wrath remember mercy......

Yet I will wait patiently for the day of calamity
    to come on the nation invading us.
 Though the fig tree does not bud
    and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
    and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
    and no cattle in the stalls,
 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
    I will be joyful in God my Savior.
 The Sovereign Lord is my strength;
    he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
    he enables me to tread on the heights.

Kristian Stanfill - Always 

My foes are many
They rise against me
But I will hold my ground
I will not fear the war
I will not fear the storm
My help is on the way
My help is on the way

Oh, my God
He will not delay
My refuge and strength always
I will not fear
His promise is true
My God will come through always
Always

Trouble surrounds me
Chaos abounding
My soul will rest in You
I will not fear the war
I will not fear the storm
My help is on the way
My help is on the way

I lift my eyes up
My help comes from the Lord

Guess who was in town?? PHILIP YANCEY!! Such a privilege to be able to attend the 2 days conference at FGAKL. His books were one of the first few Christian books I actually read when I was still in school.

Anyway, the conference was about Growing in Grace? When I first saw the title of the conference I wasn't so keen but because he was speaking I had to go check it out but I am totally glad I did. Firstly, I thought it was a seminar about the Grace that God has for us. (of course it was as well) I was wondering, 2 days on Grace? haahaa that's coz I thought I knew all about Grace.

To keep it short, I left the seminar re-thinking about my role in the kingdom of God. Strangely enough, all he did was to just tell story after story and now I see the power of testimonies. :) I am glad that my one day leave was put to good use and yes I was close up with him and even had a photo with both him and his wife.

Now! Time for more reading since my sister bought the newest book!! Hehe!
