Excited! My first electric Ukulele.  Been wonder if should bring my Kala Acacia Tenor with me to US to practice. Then came across this RISA Ukulele.  Its an electric Ukulele and while passive just get a VOX headphone Preamp and you can either plug it to a headset or speaker.  And it works wonderfully.

God is just so good. As I planned my bible lesson for Victory Kids tomorrow. God’s Words became alive and spoke to me and taught me first!

“for the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitude of the heart” Heb 4:12. Marvelous!

This month’s character development is about Goodness – God has good plans for us. “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called. And he went out, not knowing where he was going” Heb 11:8.

With the new job coming up it’s liken to Abram’s calling. I probably shared some common thoughts as Abram did! All the “what ifs” understand that while God often calls us to chart unknown territory with unknown outcome! He never forsake us – make no mistakes about it! Our daily bread writes: the fear of the unknown could cripple our capacity to follow God’s leading through the days and months ahead. Yet like Abraham when we cling to the One who knows all things, we will be in good hands – regardless of where He leads. Amen! Never be afraid to entrust the unknown future to the all-knowing God.

Not only did this Bible lesson prepared me to teach the children God taught me that He Has Good Plans for Me!

I came across Dietrich Bonhoeffer writings “the word of scripture should never stop sounding in your ears and working in you all day long, just like the words of someone you love. … accept the Word of Scripture and ponder it in your heart … until it has gone right into you”

I thought it was another routine meeting with customer organised by Marketing.  The person I met was Mr Tan Kin Lian, ex-CEO of NTUC income.  He has lots and lots of ideas.  He is an inventor, designer etc etc, and a grandfather I believe!  He is in the business of helping others to improve “life”.  Was given a shape quiz game pack and sudoku game booklets – which helps in developing a “disciplined” mind.  Also a torchlight which he designed and manufactured in China.  Unbelievable!

My announcement that I will be leaving M1 after 13+ years is one with mixed feeling. Reluctance to leave colleagues who have been almost like part of my extended family. Yet the excitement to start a new chapter in my career!

Some apprehension came about – if I can make it and what if I failed! Thank you Pastor Lawrence Seow for the message which ministered to me and strengthened my faith in God.

We sang and truly I am reminded and encouraged that:

– my life is in you Lord
– my strength is in you Lord
– my hope is in you Lord

More important God is a wonderful counsellor and Prince of Peace (Isa 9:6)! My constant prayer by claiming and clinging on to God’s promised paid off!

“Do not be anxious about anything but in everything through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your request to God and His peace which transcends all understanding will guide my heart and mind in Christ Jesus!” Philippians 4:6-7

I am ready and look forward to starting an exciting adventure and most importantly going everywhere and doing everything (secular and serving God) with “the mind of Christ” 1 Cor 2:16.

Be reminded that “Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see” Heb 11:1.

31st December 2009, was at Millennium Walk and Jessica saw a nice little Strawberry Shortcake kite which cost $7.80.  1st Jan 2010, we decided to take a drive to Seng Kang and found a nice flying location.  The Strawberry Shortcake kite took to the sky quite effortlessly.  Wonderful, we went again on 2nd Jan 2010.  Impressed by those bigger kites that flew much higher, that evening I surfed the web and found “www.layangman.com” – Layang means kites.  Found this kite – the aerobe.  Picked up the kite from Mr Layangman on Sunday afternoon, patiently waiting for the rain to stop and rushed to Seng Kang at 5:30 pm, where the aerobe made its maiden flight.  Did not read the instructions properly when rigging the kite, encountered some difficulties in putting the kite in the air.  After some effort and thanks to David, we got it up.  Ms Strawberry Shortcake Kite was also up in the air.

This is how the aerobe look like.  After 7 pm, we proceeded to Punggol Seafood Restaurant to “celebrate” the successful maiden flight of Mr Aerobe.  Chilli Crab, Mee Goreng, Prawn Paste Chicken, “Or Nee” and Sea Coconut were the items ordered. Yummy!

This was the best Vacation I had! Thanks be to God! Amen!

3rd December 2009 was Ro and Jon’s ROM.  The ceremony was conducted at Secret Gardens.  Ro is my eldest niece. I watched her grow up and now she has grown in a beautiful young lady.  I pray that Ro and Jon will love and honor each other.  Well done Ro!
