Fulfilling weekend \(^_^)/

This weekend has been quite fulfilling for me (^_^)

Friday, I took a day's leave to bring my father to SGH for review. Remember I mentioned previously that the doctor said my father may have to do a second surgery to implant a pacemaker if his heart doesn't strengthen? Friday was the review to decide whether or not he had to undergo that surgery.

Praise the Lord!!! The doctor reviewed that my father's heart is recovering well! Though he has to continue on medication, a second surgery was not needed! Hallelujah! Then we went to have a meal outdoors. My father hasn't been eating outside food for quite a long time and my mother decided to "reward" him. Hehehe. Afterwhich, I sudden upon a suggestion of visiting T3 at Changi Airport since it's newly opened. Hohoho. Family outing. (A pity my brother's in NS, can't join.)

Saturday morning, I went for a shoot, acting part-time for my new project for another producer just for fun. Miss Photogenic in Star Search 2007 will make her debut in this drama. In a scene this morning, she had to be splashed by May Phua, Best Supporting actress for Star Awards 2007. Kawaiiso... (FYI, this doesn't mean cute which is Kawaii. What does it mean? ... Lalala... =p) Think shooting this drama will be quite an enjoyment since most of the artistes involved are veteran... You know, when drama is "naturalistically" drama.
Early evening, I had to go check the studio shooting for my current project. It's finally coming to an end soon, I'm left with a half day shoot outdoors and a half night shoot in studio on the 22nd and 24th respectively. Pray that everything will be smooth.

Thank God that though I'm overlapping two projects, the Executive Producer in my new project is merciful enough to wait for me to finish editing my current on before I do any filming for my new project. *phew* (~_^)

Sunday! That's tomorrow! (^_^) Heee, Sabbath day. It will definitely be fulfilling! I just pray that my parents will go to church tomorrow and pray that someday, even without me asking or driving them, they will go to church.
After service and cell group, I have to rush back to help my brother give away his chinchillas that are at my auntie's place at the moment. 7 of them! To Woodlands and Tampines! For Christ's sake! What was my brother thinking when he made the request for me to give his chinchillas away using the car???!!! (*_*) MEOW! O God, may the erksome smell of the chinchillas turn to aroma and may I just fix my eyes and heart on Jesus while doing this. Thank God, that my brother isn't dragging this on anymore.
Still lots to settle but one by one, step by step, grace upon grace...

Off to bed. Oyasuminasai.

今天早晨

早起身
为的只是要陪你们到你们舒服的教堂
本看到你换上外出衣服
开心
虽然换衣服之前
你不知何故地叹气
要去取车时
听到洗衣服的声音
妳说你不去
用还未准备午餐做“理由”
我照样去取车
希望你会去
在楼下等着
快迟到了
上楼看个究竟
竟看到你换回家居衣服
你叫我自己去
用了“她不去”做“理由”
我坦然我是为你们去诸圣堂的
你竟然叫我去我自己的(教堂)
天啊
我不知道要对你说什么好
你根本都失了重点
再来,你若不去就不能致电通知我一声吗?
任由我在楼下枯等

神哪
除去我生气的灵
因我不该
如果这需要更多的时间
就请你赐恩典
并让我有耐性
坚固我对你的信心
让我不要看人
而要看你
我伤心
你更伤心
你却有你完美的时间

Yesterday, 9th Jan 08

*phew* I'm glad it was yesterday! So much things happened plus the insufficient sleep made me sleep for over 12 hours from 9plus last night dozing off on my desk in my room till this morning 11am. Whahaha! I'm a pig! o^_^o

Had studio filming from 2130-2430 the night before yesterday but only managed to begin filming at 2200 becos the previous group overran. I was quite worried that I might not be able to finish filming or overrun till late as I have to wake up early yesterday to attend the opening ceremony for my new project. (Yes, I haven't finish filming the current project but my next project is starting. ~_~) While waiting for the previous group to handover, I can only murmur and pray, "God, multiply my time! Multiply my time! God, multiply my time!" And praise the Lord, I finished shooting everything that was scheduled and only overran 10 minutes! Lalala! (^_^) Glory be to God!

Woke at 6plus to attend the opening ceremony of my new project. *_* Tired. BUT reading the Word at the start of the day gives me energy and peace that I need. (I can be real grumpy and nasty when I have insfficient sleep, esp upon waking up.) There was a bad jam in PIE, probably an accident and I was worried that I will be late. I pray again, "God, clear the jam so that I can reach in time and not be a bad testimony by being late." Hahaha! The jam did clear in a while and I was able to reach in time. Upon alighting the taxi, I was still able to tell the cab driver how to get out. (He wasn't familiar with the routes and had a bad sense of hearing, I had to repeat my instructions twice to direct him to Mediacorp. I'm glad I did not flare up or even be upset with him. (^_^) Praise and glory to God!)

The opening ceremony was held in a temple in Toa Payoh. I'm actually quite burdened to see only a small percentage of the group who are in the family of Christ. Most of the group took incense to pray and some are free thinkers...

"The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few." (Matt 9:37) Hope I'll be able to plant as many seeds as I can and let God make them grow. Hope that it will not be my burden but the burden of Christ, for He has carried the cross for us all. It shall not be my strength nor my work but the love and grace of God. I can do everything THROUGH him who gives my strength. (Phil 4:13)

Lalala... I'm blessed and happy! (^_^)

This drama is called 心花朵朵开, let it be 神的果子朵朵开!Hahaha!

I reached home about 5plus in the evening, just as I open the window of my room, I hear someone shouting hysterically, “他爸爸跌倒了!帮忙叫ambulance! ” Then there was reply from the void deck that they have already called the ambulance. I looked down... Oh god! An old man was lying unconcious at the foot of stairs. Clearly, he had fallen. He is from my block, living on the 9th floor though I do not know him personally.

Immediately I raised my hand and started praying for him and his family, for the ambulance to reach asap and for the traffic to be smooth, for God to send someone to the hospital if he has not yet know Christ, for him to be saved not just in the flesh but in his spirit.

As the ambulance arrived around 10minutes after, the paramedics lifted him onto the stretcher and sent him to the hospital. There was a bit of regret in me after the ambulance left: Why din't I go down personally to pray for the uncle? Why did I just pray from afar? ... ...

I then went to bathe. After my shower, my mother immediately tell me about the trouble my uncle (who is a driver in my father's company) has created. He did not take the attendence of the students who were supposed to board his bus and a primary student had gone missing. (The school calls for a meeting with him and my father today.) The parents alarmed the police and my uncle had to be interrogated and he was not able to fetch the 5pm workers. The astonishing part was that my father wanted to fetch the workers after knowing the situation! The doctor said he is not suppose to drive for 6 months. Not a car, moreover a bus!!!

By God's grace, the kid called the parents in the nick of time and my uncle can make it to fetch the workers. I was so angry with my father I reprimanded him. Even if my uncle cannot make it he should not want to drive! What if something really happens while he was driving, it is not just his own life but the life of all the passengers he is putting a risk. We do not know what can happen, you cannot deny this fact. The doctor said you cannot drive for six months that means you cannot! If you can be your own doctor, then what do we need doctors for? Worse comes to worst, just ring up the workers i/c and ask them to take cab and we shall reimburse them.

There are so many unexpected incidents around me recently I just cannot think that they do not concern me...

Then at night after dinner my mother told me to have a talk with my father one of these days. She was lamenting my father's unheeding attitude and his conversation with his RC friends to want to join them for meals outside after the wound on his legs has healed. Her tone and her laments... I'm weary... My parents just don't communicate to each other, their conversations are limited to skin-deep... I do not know how long I can allow this to go on while continuing to encourage them to communicate to each other. My encouragement sometimes can turn to begging. (sigh)

Strengthen me O Lord! Deliver me from my worries and my burdens!

I fell asleep on my desk while reading the Word for advice... Thank God that he actually granted me sleep while reading His word, a peaceful sleep till this morning. Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. (Matt 11:28)


God is good! All the time! And all the time, God is good! (^_^)

I'm blessed and happy!

强忍泪水,递上纸巾

再专业也可以表露多些怜悯吧?
更难过
眼泪打滚,却得把它吞下

散会
脑袋空了

一个常带欢笑给周围朋友……的朋友
走了
一个敬业乐业的演员

一个人

Why?

Well-tempered
Spontaneous
Humourous
Filial
Fun-loving

2008 Resolutions

1) Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord is the Rock forever. (Isaiah 26:4) To have a steadfast faith in the Lord and to always trust Him no matter how bad a situation I may seem to be in or how unexpected bad events can happen to my life.
2) Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. (Psalm 143:8) To read the word of God every morning without fail for it to vitalise me from the start of the day and for God to teach me to do his will.
3) Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spirit fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliciton, faithful in prayer. (Romans 12:11-12) May my fire for the Lord be always burning and as I serve in church or at my workplace. (^_^)
4) In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:16) That I may be a testimony for Christ to my friends and my family as I continue to pray for their salvation!
5) Honour your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the Land of the Lord your God is giving you. (Deuteronomy 5:16)
All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18) May Christ the Lord of reconciliation teach me and guide me. May there be a reconciliation of family relationships within my family among one another. And may there by a reconciliation of relationship between every family member and God.

2007 HAD been an eventful year, very... happening. *phew* Thank God! Thank God that it belongs to history now and I thank God the most for capturing me back to his side and for showing me Jesus's love and grace. (^_^) Lalala...

So now for 2008! Looking forward to it, to spending it with the Lord! (~^_^~) Above are my resolutions and brothers and sisters who read them please pray for me k? Hehe. So nice to have brothers and sisters praying, like the army of warriors God has blessed this lito Garfield with... Kekeke!

I'd been thinking about 2008 resolutions in the last week of the past year and I am prompted by the verses from the Bible that ties in with my hopes and wishes for this year. Listed them down so that as the days go on for this year, I can look back and remind myself at any point of time. Whos knows what may happen? Except the Creator!

Been long since I ever thought seriously about new year's resolutions... seemed to be a school day activity. Haha! Reminiscence... So well, let's 拭目以待!p(^_^)q

Whatever happens... Fix your eyes upon Jesus!
定睛仰望主耶稣
祂是全能救主
定睛仰望主耶稣
祂是生命泉源

当走到荒野幽谷里
祂是光必会引领你
当黑暗将你笼罩
只要定睛仰望耶稣

定睛仰望主耶稣
祂是全能救主
定睛仰望主耶稣
祂是生命泉源

灵疲惫亲近祂呼求
祂是力量必会使你刚强
乏力软弱不堪时候
只要定睛仰望耶稣
