A fruitful day...

Today woke up realising my siblings were not going to school... So i washed up and left home while my bro played the comp... And my sis was still in bed... Well well... I had my those days too... Hee....

Reached office at 850... Then helped my fren get some stuff, requisited some stationery n set off for client's place... Reached at 10am... Still to do one section; one leadsheet... Like copied last year's work... But got some new accounts... So need to document the work myself... Then went for lunch at the nearby canteen...

Came back continued to work on the leadsheet.. Went up to find the client and talked to them for the first time in the day.. At near 2pm... Not very helpful cos they all busy with the month end closing... But thank God, I managed to find the schedules that I need... Made copies... Then worked with the documents I had obtained... Then need to vouch the invoices and payments vouchers... So wrote a list for the client...

And guess wat? When I asked her to show me where to get the documents, she asked me which are the ones I need... Then she took the list and extracted out all the documents I needed for me!!! Wow!!! What favour... At the end of the day, I managed to complete most of my work... Left 7 invoices to vouch... Completed the leadsheet and the manual workpapers...

On my side, my other colleague was screaming... Cos she cant get the schedule she needs... The client keeps giving her stuff that was not wat she asked for... When she went to find the payment voucher herself to vouch, she couldnt find even one after searching for 2 hours!!! I really really thank God for favour...

I passed the section to my AIC for review at near 6pm... He gave me a new section to work on... Wow!!! This one is not as easy... But I'm all geared up and ready to start work... Here I come... Ermz... Not now now... But looking forward to my A11 days... Heee.... The sections more interesting... Not all vouching only... Heh... May tml be another frutiful day too...

Update...

I had a long long long holiday after Bruce n Shaun's wedding... Dun feel like working... Hahaha... Then with all the festivals around, holiday here n there... So took quite a lot of toil and leave... Heh... It's time to settle down and get back to work... Just when I thought of doing that... I was hit with gastric flu... Haiz...

Been quite busy since Sun... Went for duty then blood donation then dinner with Ken's family at AV then coffee at west coast McCafe... Then Mon went back to work... Thought going down client's place, who knows client not ready... So I took half day toil and went out with Ken... Hehe... He's supposed to be studyin n I was supposed to be working... Oh well... hehe... Went to catch a movie... Haiz... So much for all the nominations that it got... Quite a boring show... Hahaha.... Went ate lots of stuff in bet also... Then Ken went for tuition...

Ken wanted to go school early on tues to revise his work... I told him I'll sleep in... But I was planning to go with him liao la... But who knows when I woke up, I was overwhelmed with pangs of nausea... I ran to the toilet and vomitted... Then diahorrea... That was at 7am!!! By 930, I had vomitted 3 times and diahorrea twice... I laid down on the toilet floor and slept cos I didnt wanna run again... Aft a while I managed to get up and struggled to pour myself a glass of hot water...

I drank... And within half an hr, I was back in the toilet, vomitting... Haiz... By 1pm, I had vomitted like 7 times and had diahorrea 5 times... My parents were working and my siblings were entertaining themselves with the computer and the tv... Haiz... At the same time, I was having gastric pains... Thank God by afternoon all these stopped... I just slept n slept... Ken bought porridge for me and I ate like a third of it then went back to sleep... He later left for tuition... Thanks dear...

Genesis 50 (Part 2)

Vs 19-20 --> But Joseph replied, “Don’t be afraid of me. Am I God, that I can punish you? You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.

It's really amazing how God's ways are higher than our ways. A normal person rejected by his own family, gone thru all the kinds of hardship that Joseph went thru will grab this chance to revenge what his bros had done to him when he was younger. But Joseph saw things in a different light. He has seen how God began to set up the situtation so that the whole country will be saved thru him.

And Joseph has such a big heart... He let go off his past hurts and accepted, loved his brothers... Treated them the best he can... Where to find such people nowadays?!?!?!

God, I also wanna have a big heart like Joseph... Help me to forgive and forget... Help me to love like how you love... Take away the past hurts, give me my Manasseh and Ephraim...

Genesis 50 (Part 1)

In verse 11 --> The local residents, the Canaanites, watched them... Then they renamed that place Abel-mizraim, for they said, "This is a place of deep mourning for these Egyptians".

Abel-mizraim means "mourning of the Egyptians".

Here we see that Jacob, Joseph's dad has just passed away. Joseph went back to Canaan to bury his dad, together with his household, his brothers and their households; accompanied by 'all of Pharoah's officials, all the senior members of Pharoah's household, and all the senior officers of Egypt'. When Joseph lost his dad, all those people felt that they also lost someone dear to them that they mourn together with Joseph. This is the kind of influence Joseph has!

Joseph was not born an Egyptian but he had so much influence over the Egyptians that they would follow him wherever he goes. Even to an unknown land for them, they were willing to go for him. This made me think... How many of us are influencers in our marketplace? In the place where we spend most of out time. The place where we interact the most with the people around us. The place which we are supposed to transform. And the sad thing is, some of us cant even influence one person! Not even this one closest to us!!! Then how can we be history makers and world shakers? Are we changing lives? Are we changing nations?

It's time to sit down and think and reflect. 2 more months before the year 2006 comes to an end... What have you done in the past 10 months? Have you released your fullest potential? Have you touched the lives of people God has placed into your hands? What have you done in this year to glorify God? Do you think God is pleased with you?

Pst always preaches 'You're born for such a time as this!' Do you really believe it? Who is the last soul you've saved? Where has the fire in you gone to? Are you no longer urgent and compassionate for souls? Do you still remember why Christ died??? It's time to get back to fire and end the year well...

Genesis 19

Recently, I've started to re-read the bible, the NLT version... It's really exciting to read the bible again. I've been getting revelations just by reading and meditating on the Word. Every night as I read, I get more and more awed by God. He is really an amazing God; an awesome God. Despite reading the bible a few times through already, I can still get new revelations as I read again. This book is really the Word of God, a double-edged sword! There is no other book like this!!!

In Gen 19, the bible talks abt Sodom and Gomorrah being destroyed. From this one chapter, I learnt lots of things... In the 1st part, we know that the men in the city wanted to have sex with the angels!!! I was totally turned off. These men wanted to have sex with men... (the angels were in the form of men) These men were so so so blinded that they no longer could discern between what's right and what's wrong.. This is so sad... Later on the angels told Lot to get out of the city for the outcry against the place was so great that it has reached the Lord. So Lot was a righteous man, living in a'Sin City'.

Let's look at the scriptures, in vs 14-16...

14 So Lot rushed out to tell his daughters’ fiancés, “Quick, get out of the city! The Lord is about to destroy it.” But the young men thought he was only joking.
15 At dawn the next morning the angels became insistent. “Hurry,” they said to Lot. “Take your wife and your two daughters who are here. Get out right now, or you will be swept away in the destruction of the city!”
16 When Lot still hesitated, the angels seized his hand and the hands of his wife and two daughters and rushed them to safety outside the city, for the Lord was merciful.


After reading this, I was bewildered. First, I didnt know Lot's daughters were engaged. The 2 young men were destroyed together with the cities as they were slow. This really struck me. These 2 men were given a chance to live. But cos of their slow reaction and nonchalant attitudes towards the words spoken by the angels, they died. They 'killed' themselves. From this, I learnt to take God's words seriously. All the words, the visions that God had spoken and shown me will come to be pass. I must be URGENT and DILIGENT in bringing them to pass. Not just sit around and wait for things to happen.

Many times in life, we procrastinate. We see that the angels waited... 'Til dawn' before they became insistent. I began to ask myself. Am I so great that the angels have to wait for me? I made a decision... I want to be so quick to obey God, so quick to get things done. I want to be the one who is so urgent and so accurate about the things of the Lord. Cos I love God and want to give Him my best. Everything I do, I'll do with a spirit of excellence.

Later on in the chapter, we know that Lot's wife turned back and turned into a pillar of salt. Lot's daughters got him drunk and had sex with him in order to preserve the family line; taking things into their own hands. And as a result, the people of Moabites and Ammonites were born, who are always moving against God's plan.

In life, ppl like to take things into their own hands, believing that they themselves know what's best for themselves. Not realising that the consequences of their actions are actually against the will of God, God's plan for their lives. So sad... Kaypohs... Why dun just trust the Lord???
