Singapore's Public Holidays

Here's this year's public holidays in Singapore. You can check out the page at the Ministry of Manpower portal. ;)

Well what I actually wanted to say is, isn't it a bit pathetic that we just have 11 days of holiday per year? And what's worse is that this number is subjected to whether any of them falling on Saturdays?

Take this year for example, when National Day falls on a Saturday, we end up with only 10 days. Mmmm.. If the government enforces that should a holiday falls on a Sunday, and the following Monday be made a holiday (which makes me very happy), why not do the same for Saturday?

It just puzzles me. :\

For those interested, here's next year's list of public holidays. Again, only 10 days. :(

How Real Is The Bible?

If you've ever doubted the truth of what's written in the Bible, this is something that I found that I want to share with you.

The Bible was inscribed over a period of two thousand years, in times of war and in days of peace; by kings, physicians, tax collectors, farmers, fishermen, singers and shepherds. The marvel, is that a library so perfectly cohesive could have been produced by such a diverse crowd over a period of time which staggers the imagination. Jesus is its grand subject, our good is designed, and the glory of God is its end.

If you think it's amazing and true, what's keeping you from believing? :)

A Great First Day Of Recovery

I just got to say that I'm enjoying taking leave and spending time at home. *bliss~*

Firstly I recovered from my lost of sleep this morning, cos I slept till 1130am! haha.. That's approximately 10+ hours of sleep! Imagine for the last few days when I was clocking an average of about 5-6 sleep hours, and you'll probably understand why I felt so "recovered". :P

Spent some time to polish up my shoes, changed water for my plants, sayanging my dogs, watching movies, singing my favourite songs, going for my 4km jog, spending quality time with God, and settling some other miscellaneous stuff.

I am truly enjoying myself. (Oh.. and I'm blogging now~ :D)

Recovery

The last month saw me working too hard on a single project, and I fell sick from sore throat, which led to flu, and of course, cough. Even though I tried Sandy's tip called "Ultimate Cure for the Flu & Cold", I am still coughing, albeit slowly recovering. Guess my immune system is pretty whacked. :P

But well, the recovery topic of this post means so much more than just physical recovery.

While I was busy working, quiet time with God was also chewed away. It was especially so for the week that just past, seeing me OT till hours when I am the only one left in the building. I felt detached; being away from Him for too long is never a good thing. :S

So that's possibly why I love serving in my ministry so much, because it brings me close to God every weekend, serving His people, and being amidst my brothers and sisters who all share the same joy with me. :D

I'm talking about THE kind of joy that overflows from deep within your heart, so hard to contain that it feels as if it wants to burst out, warms your nerves and yet chills your spine, and leads your muscles to produce the brightest kind of smile you thought you never had. *lol~* That's the kind of joy I experience when I'm serving God. :)

Watching miracles of healing by the grace of God every Miracle Service also brings refreshing strength to my tired soul. And yesterday was one such night. :)

From the start of the service till the end, I could feel the fresh anointing Spirit of God filling the corners of the sanctuary, and I felt great peace and joy in my heart which I could not feel for the past week.

To top things off, Li Nanxing (李南星) and Chen Tai Ming (陈泰明) also came to our service! It was extremely encouraging when the both of them, being public figures, responded to the salvation call and (re)dedicated their lives to God. From the stage, we could even hear fellow Lighters clapping and cheering! Praise God! :D

This coming week is a special week; I took the entire week off from work! The intention was of course, to prepare for the competition this coming weekend. I must add that this is also a very welcome break, since I truly needed to recover from work fatigue too.

Fitness wise.. sigh... that's also something which I intend to recover back too. When I was not tired, I was sick. When I was not sick, I was tired. Ended up I never had the chance to exercise already. :S So well, this week I'm gonna try to go for morning jogs as well, and slash the slabs around my waist. :D

I'm guessing having good fitness is also good for staying awake 24 hours for the competition. *lol~*

The Indonesian Mimic Octopus

Just something that my colleague forwarded and I thought it was really cool. Utterly fascinated by God's creation. :D
