Underground Hideout

I was walking by a building near my office where I noticed the basement was of reminscient value to me.

I used to read a lot of books in primary school and the background of some of the stories were set in olden days where the main mode of transport was the railway. Think Shanghai in those British colonial times but put it in a western concept.

I always feel there is something queer and mysterious in those basements illustrated below. Some criminals might be hiding. Some secret transactions might be going on. Frankenstein was probably recreated there.

Be Not Vexed!

This season of my life, God is testing my faith and endurance.

I stood on and held on to God's Word;
His promises of deliverance and hope
As I waited, my heart was tested so that it was faint
As I tarried, my vision was distracted so that my eyes were blurred

Somewhere in the corner, a ray of light lingered
A light of revelation, a light of understanding
A light that reminds me
Of victories won with Him, of testimonies neverending

Then somehow courage mustered
And I decide
The evil one may try to frustrate,
May try to distract, may seek to disturb

My flame, my faith, my heart
Will get stronger with every tarrying
Because I have chosen

Airings

It has been a frustrating week. Though I do not want my blog to become a frustrating blog, it is therapeutic to air my thoughts a little...so please bear with me.


I can't stand people who pull a long face in the morning as if the world owes them a million.
I don't owe them anything, at least not to see a long face.

I can't stand people who find it hard to move their lips to mouth a simple "Good morning".
It is basic courtesy whether you are positioned high above and humble beneath.
It is an attitude in your spirit to be joyful in the morning.


So if, perhaps, maybe, you fall into the above categories, please help to paint the world a more colourful and beautiful place. Every behaviour is an attitude of our heart.

On Saturday August 13 I attended Joycelyn's birthday chalet. My oh mine, it was like a W140 gathering. I had a delicious good time and I wanna say to the W140ers:

"I miss you guys big big time! Miss your fellowship, miss your humour, miss your bonding. Proud of you guys for whatever you are pursuing in your life now, and you guys will always be my best loved group of people I have know in my 5 years in ministry and close to my heart!"

Warming up for the phototaking...

Put your best foot forward..we are all Wong Fei Hong's protege...


Local spokesperson for KAPPA


Jealousy provokes abusive action...


Eventually we still resolve our differences to be a Big Happy Family...


You can ask me for the soft copies cos the pictures looked rather dim here..

Erm, Intro to Me?

Today, I just have the urge to blog about the author of this blog, that's me!

I'll say you aren't obligated to know so much about me, as it will be a pretty self-absorbed entry but because you are reading my blog, you have no choice! Haha!

A list of the things about Huiling that might either be interesting or a turn-off to you :) =

1. Huiling is a self-confessed narcissist - though bouts of low self
confidence might come occasionally, but she is mostly secured, in God!
2. Huiling DISDAINS any clothes with SLEEVES, LONG OR CAPPED,
COLLARS and whatever that covers her back! She has termed herself with a medical term - Thermal Intolerance
(Don't ask me why, God made me this way and I can write an essay on
this topic alone.)

Start of Essay:
To date, I only own 1 piece of long-sleeved shirt. The only time I wore
a long-sleeved shirt was for SOT graduation. If there is any job or
occasion that requires me to wear sleeves, I would wear a tube top or
something backless and throw on a jacket at most, nothing more.
Making me wear sleeves or to be covered up is close to persecution for
me!

There was a time where wearing spaghetti tops, tubes, halter backs
were not so welcomed in my place of worship. Then that season passed
and now it's a common sight on any lady. You know how I feel when
that season of restriction passsed? Liberating with a capital L!

End of Essay. Are you still around?


3. Huiling likes Japanese manga
4. Huiling has territorial tedencies - she likes having her own space,
especially at work and might bark when it is invaded :0
5. Huiling likes computer games and played through from 11pm to 11am
once last year
6. Huiling like fast-paced action movies to love stories - because good
plots for the latter are hard to come by
7. Huiling wants to be a pretty, chic, sassy, sexy mummy in time to come! (Will ex W140ers clap for this statement? But not of triplets!)

7 is my favorite number and I shall end by saying Huiling's biggest prayer will be to always have a heart to love and give, and give and love.

The day that anyone stops loving, is the day that the person stops living.

Dearly Beloveds,

Just wanted to introduce to you the new loved ones in my life....my cg E375.
They are a bunch of beautiful and nice people. The pictures speak for themselves.

It is Good!

"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever." Ps 23:6

It is good!

It is good to dwell in the house of the Lord. I feel so glad that no matter which season of my life I'm in, I'm firmly planted in the house of God. There are times and seasons of our lives where we become reflective and ponder more on what has been and what is going to be. Sometimes we'll feel lost. Sometimes we'll feel confused. But more often, the Word of God will show up and speak up, as long as we are in the house of God we will find the direction to move in.

If you sometimes wonder why you are doing what you are doing, or why are you still where you are at, go to the house of the Lord, go to cg, go to prayer meetings, yes, more so prayer meetings.


In the last two weeks that passed during which I was seeking God, God spoke through Pastor Tan in a service message. God then affirmed me further by speaking through Martin in a cg message. Not only that, God also reminded me of His promises in the prayer meeting. I am encouraged, edified, and most importantly, I know where I am going and I have made certain decisions.

It is really a call not just to be a Christian, but to be a faithful and fervent one. It is a high calling, not simply a committment, to be faithful to cg, services and prayer meetings because Destinies are Formed here. Rise up my brothers and sisters to be committed to your destiny!

Challenge

-Faith is a Conviction of the Things That We Do Not See-

Faith is a daily challenge. It is as common as eating 3 meals a day.

From the day that I graduated from Year Two of SOT (2004), I told myself that I would at least go for a mission trip every year. Time sped past. I'm now in 2006 and I'm brought back to my remembrance that I haven't gone forth with the Word for a year and a half now.

It's not that I have forgotten about my love for missions. My struggle has become much more real and much more intense this year.

I'm aiming for the trip in September this year. I'm struggling because first of all, it's probably going to be Building Fund season and I want to give my best. Secondly, I'm really saving for my wedding fund. These two priorities are enough to tie me down financially. Every week, I would look at the bulletin and see lists of upcoming mission trips and everytime, my heart will wage war within. I want to have more than enough for my wedding. I don't want to struggle with lack.
Finally George couldn't stand my wishy-washyness and said to me to not think so much and just go. He said I should just go first, and then come back and plan for the wedding afterwards.

There is so much truth in what he said. Truth as in I have never seen people who went for mission trips and came back not blessed. I have not. God somehow opens the windows of opportunities for our needs to come through. Truth as in I have gone through numerous building fund campaigns and saw that God provides seed for the sower. Truth as in God has never let me down. Truth as in it is true that there has first to be a sowing before a reaping.

And so, I have decided to save up for the mission trip in September. As I made the decision, I could feel a relief and a smile in my heart. It feels good. Pray with me my dear friends towards the realisation of my heart's desire.

I just bought this kitty pouch yesterday...hee guess what am I going to use it to contain? There is a prize for guessing. (The pouch is the size of my palm) ":p

Socks Galore!

I'm amazed, truly amazed.

Well, because if you know Huiling, you know that she does not wear sports shoes AT ALL. And if she does, it's only about ONCE A YEAR.

Guess what she always receive as gifts? SOCKS!!! There aren't many pairs here, but considering I'll probably wear only one of the pairs here like once a year, I'm living in abundance!! Please don't get me wrong, I like it as present, because I'm believing I'll be more sporty one day. One day.

Ps. I do appreciate socks as a gift, so thanks to all of you who has faith in me! Ha!

Daniel's Birthday Bash

Hi! The star here is Daniel...so if u dun look good in the pictures, its because u ain't the Star of the day, the focus is on him...and his birthday bash has manyAunties and Uncles as his guests.

Asthetics

I can't resist posting this conversation with our dear Jane which amuses me.

(Pastor mentioned that asthetics is the part of you that will find yourself tearing when you stand before a majestic, beautiful painting, or touched to tears when you hear a beautiful song.)


Me : So which part of asthetics do u appreciate?
Jane: Music. You?
Me : Fashion.
Jane: So do you cry when you see a very beautiful piece of clothing?
Me : Bowled over with hilarious laughter.

Thank you Jane for bringing laughter into my life.

Life is Fragile

They say life is fragile. I used to think it as a cliche statement.

Not anymore.

In the recent two weeks there have been many turn of events in my life that made me realise that life is fleeting. I was in an accident (of course I was unscathed) and I thought I could have lost my life there and then if not for God's favor. Please don't get me wrong, there is nothing fearful in losing my life but there is a dreadful thought of leaving loved ones behind who would grieve, not to mention leaving behind financial and emotional burdens they have to carry.

There is definitely more to uphold and upkeep in life than our own precious life. There many lives intertwined with ours and we have to think of them. It is pathetic to live selfishly. It is irresponsible to think that whatever one does with his life does not affect somebody else.

So moving on, I want to tell all my loved ones whom our paths crossed, I appreciate you and I love you!

Sunny Side Up!

That day I was having lunch and the cook gave me a very beautiful Sunny Side Up. It looked so ooophmm, the yolk oozing out and stuff and beaming at me, that I couldn't resist capturing it down!

PS. Next to my Dear, I haven't seen another person cook such a nice one.

Hmmm....Huiling loves Sunny Side Up!

A Mock Comeback?

Hi Everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been a long long long time...

Many of you are clamouring for updates.

I have a very helpful suggestion: Get me a laptop and I'll be able to have a computer to work with, and you won't miss me so much!

That day I went out with Jean and BF, Des and Deb. Finally I'm able to meet Jean and BF. Here are the photos...


Jean and Zhiwei
