Haven't been writing consistently but just felt like it today !!!!

God has been amazing this past 6 months, being my provider and sustaining me till now. It's been a rollar coaster ride at work but I'm really thankful that he is there for me. I've seen some positive results and will continue to press on..

Thank you, Father in heaven !!!


Really stressed up with work and decisions in changing car lately. Having heard advices from my colleagues whom encourage to change car, I seriously thought that I need to hear from different point of views too. Hence I approached Pastor Daniel for his advice.

Felt really refreshed and peace settles straight into my heart. He shared with me his opinions and vision. The main thing that struck me most is that I have lost the calling or rather the passion of what I want to do in God's ministry in the long run.

I realised all these while, I have been worshiping idols like money, cars and fame. Being in an environment that talks about branding, changing to a better car is like giving me a different platform to talk to higher level of people. But is that what Jesus looks at? NO, in fact he rather mixed around more with the poor than the rich.

Often, I haven't been putting God as the centre of my life, especially in work, and that is why I've been facing so many ups and downs, ending up with deteriorating health, short temperedness, tiring myself up.

So with the money that I have, I would rather fulfill the calling of God in my life, which is to bless people and the churches in terms of finances. I strongly believe that it is a ministry that I can be fully involved in, but I need to learn how to make full use of the excess money to be a channel of blessing and not a money worshiper.

The influence in my current environment has also molded my school of thoughts in positive and negative ways. I sincerely prayed that my colleagues are all coming to the Lord, not to seek for mere blessing, but having a true conviction by the holy spirit. Knowing Christ is a long process that everyone needs to build on the relationship with our heavenly father.

My Prayers
1) Be a channel of blessing to others
2) Trusting God for his providence
3) Fulfilling the purpose and calling of God in me
4) Not worshipping money as idol
5) Paace and transient mind of God
6) Wisdom on finances
7) Business Opportunities to launch into

I long to worship you in spirit and in truth, Abba Father. 主ありがとう

A penny for thoughts !!!!!!!


10 Things You Shouldn’t Do If You Want To Be Debt-Free


Here is a list of 10 things you should never do if you want to stay out of debt, or else you might get into debt and have a very hard time getting out of it.

1. Getting into credit card debt

A way that you can stay in debt for a very long time is by getting into debt with your credit card by overspending, skipping a payment by not paying your credit card balances each month and always paying the minimum on your credit card debt. Doing this will ensure that you will always be in debt and that your debt will spiral out of control. (Read: Stop Overspending On Your Credit Card With This Mindset Change)

To avoid getting into credit card debt, you should always avoid spending beyond your credit limit and you should always pay your balance in full each month. If you are in debt because you have exceeded your credit limit or missed a payment because of an emergency, you should pay all of your balance off as soon as you can, or even pay more than the minimum amount due so that you can get out of debt as soon as possible since the interests rates are extremely high. Credit cards are an absolute necessity in these modern times, and it’s impossible to do without them. Use your credit cards wisely, don’t overspend on them, and you will reap all the benefits they have to offer.

2. Spending money on things you don’t need

There are some people who waste their money on buying things that they like and want and many of them do so without knowing what they are spending their money on and without keeping track of it. If you do this, you will spend a lot of money unnecessarily. For example, if there is a sale at a store and you just feel like you must buy something just because it’s at a discount, don’t buy it if you absolutely don’t need it.

You should only spend money on things you truly need and never for the sake of spending.

3. Not keeping track of how much you spend

If you want a sure way of getting into debt, just spend money without knowing how much you’re spending and without keeping track of it and soon enough, you will find yourself in debt and without money.

To ensure that you do not waste more money than you can afford, you should draw up a budget and keep track of how much you spend and how much you can afford to spend.

4. Gambling

One way that you can stay in debt forever and waste money is by gambling, whether at a casino or at a friend’s house. If you gamble, you will most likely want to keep playing until you win and you will end up losing most of your money. Another way you can lose thousands of dollars over the years is by simply buying the lottery.

Never gamble more money than you are prepared to lose, since there is a much higher chance that you will lose.

5. Spending on luxury items

A very easy way to get into debt is by buying luxury items that you can’t afford and that you must take out large loans to pay off the items, for example buying an expensive sports car or a house that is more expensive than you can afford to put a 20% down payment for.

6. Overspending on your wedding celebrations

You may want to show off to your friends and family how well you are doing economically, so you overspend on flower arrangements, catering, the bridal dress, venue rental, presents, honeymoon, hotel, etc.

Remember that these are only things that last for a day and after that for the rest of your life you will have to deal with all your debts, way after the euphoria has gone. To avoid being in debt, you should book in advance to get a better deal and you should always stick to your budget.

7. Not adapting to income changes

If you get laid off at your job or if your salary has been cut, and you keep on spending the same amount of money as before, you might not have enough to cover your expenses and you might have to dig into your savings or get into credit card debt.

To avoid getting into debt or dipping into your savings, you have to be willing to adapt to income changes and get used to not spending as much as before. For example, if you would eat out four times a week before, you might want consider eating out only once or twice a week. Or if you were used to taking a taxi to work everyday, you might want to take the bus or the subway since that could save you a lot of money.

8. Having children when you are not financially prepared

Babies and kids have a lot of needs and wants: you need food, clothes, toys and of course a good education for them that will help them in the future. In short, bringing up a child into adulthood isn’t cheap. If you’re not financially stable, you may have to go into debt to give them the best things you can

If you feel that you do not have the money it takes to have a child, you might want to consider waiting until you are more financially stable.

9. Borrowing from loan sharks

If the banks reject your request for a loan and taking a loan from a loan shark seems to be your only option that will lead you down the path of debt.

Never borrow money from loan sharks since they will charge you much higher interest rates than a bank would, and if you do not pay them back, they might hurt you or your family.

10. Keeping up with the branding trend

Your neighbor has a yacht, so you want a yacht too. Your colleague has an iPad, so you want an iPad too. Having the same as your neighbor/friend/colleague is fine, but having it just because they have it and not being able to afford it isn’t OK since you will get into debt for the sake of keeping up the image. Just because people have the latest things doesn’t mean they didn’t have to go into debt to get them. You might even be in a better financial shape than them.

奇妙，是你所在之处，我心紧紧跟随你

耶稣，你是我最爱，你的爱洁净我心

当我深知我属于你，我的心要赞美你

耶稣，无人与你相比，公义

全地的君王，万国都来敬拜你，至高的圣名

献上我赞美，而我全心要对你说

I love You I love You I love You (chorus)

我的心要永远，紧紧跟随你。



我的心要永远紧紧跟随你 耶稣无人于你相比

公义全地的君王 万国都来敬拜你

至高的生命 献上我赞美

而我全心要对你说

Repeat (chorus) x 2

A friend of mine out of the sudden posed me this question :


"Hey Griffin,
You have a car,
A job,
have money,
got a good education ( university degree )
can play a number of musical instruments
can do hip hop and breakdance
God loving character
Average looking

but how come you are still single ? "

I laughed,
and thought for a while.
: "I have the degree, but no temperature."

Regardless of all the talents God has given to us,
as long as we do not know how to use it,
it's still pointless.
Without the passion and the fire to work for it,
it's also pointless.

I think that's the best reason I can give for myself,
in a way of consoling myself ?
or to disguise my incapability ?
I guess God knows best of what I can do,
and what I cannot.


Be like daniel in the bible,
not defiling himself from anything else,
standing firm for God
walking in the righteousness of God.

God of Jacob,
Let Your Will be Done in me, I pray............

"The Last Goodbye"




I can’t believe I fell for it again

This twisted game you’re playing

You got me thinking ‘bout how all of this began

That same old place

The hopes and dreams and all the love I thought you gave

Just slip away on this cold and empty stage


Through it all

You set me on high and watched me fall

Why’d you lie

All this time

Could this be our last goodbye


Unspoken words they pierced straight through my heart

My world just slowly fell apart

I’m crumbling beneath this fake façade

You took my hand, taught me how to stand

Believed in who I am

But now it seems to me it’s almost the end


I can’t let this go

How could I be the last to know


Why can’t I

Have us fly

This can’t be our last goodbye


How am I suppose to just pretend

That you’re not coming back again

“不说不知道，说了也至少比没说来得好"

往往都是在矛盾，
犹豫中徘徊
只差时机未成熟，
痛恨现实的残酷，
痛恨被拒绝在门外，
痛恨无法猜透与琢磨的人心

尽管有多少才能，
没有挥洒的机会，
也只能望梅止渴，
等待他人乘虚而入
一举将其歼灭

一切终将成为泡影，
无数的呼喊都被无情的弹回来
好比在废墟中被掩埋，
无声无息的淡化，
最后演变成无言的结局


再见了
我的欲望，我的渴望

昨晚
又是一个有感而发的夜晚
不知不觉在游览 “脸书”时
发现到一个朋友的相片簿
正好是她的结婚照

看着她与新郎共结连理
心里有了多种莫名的感触
又是觉得惋惜
又是觉得感动
又是感到羡慕
可谓悲感交集

那人也许可能是我
但世事难料
最后我还是打从心坎里衷心地祝福她
只叹有缘无份
看见她幸福快乐的样子
我也真诚的为她高兴


但我仍然相信
上帝的安排是无比的美好
相信未来都在他的掌控之中
也不需为此烦恼

主啊，一切都由你指引的方向所驶



难道从生到死
天天在一起
就叫做有缘吗?
不！
由陌生到相识
由欢聚到离别
由相爱到相怨
都是缘！
愈见离合悲欢
愈是牵扯不清
愈有
核心的痛
刻苦的伤
缘才就愈深！

珍惜眼前人 ！！！

1st post of the year,

haven't really got the mood to post.

Laziness is the right word to use.

In anyway, I saw this paragraph interesting,

hence decided to post it here.

Can anyone do it the same ?

:)



1 day I go 2 climb a 3 outside a house to peep. But the couple saw me, so I panic and I 4 down. The man rushed out and wanted to 5 with me. I ran until I fell 6 and threw up. So I go into 7-eleven and grabbed some 8 to throw at him. Then I took a 9 and try to stab at him. 10 God he run away.

10 I put the 9 back and pay for the 8 and left 7-eleven. Next day I called my boss and told him I was 6. He said 5 , tomorrow also no need to come back 4 work. He also asked me to go climb a 3 and jump down! I don’t un derstand. I am so nice 2 him but I don’t know what he 1.

私が歌い始めなければならないように、それほど退屈です

Cooping at home to study,
when others are enjoying at retreat,
arggh that feeling sucks seriously
but God is faithful to those who bite the bullet
those that even make proper sacrifices for him and his kingdom

Just when all these thoughts start coming,
I've got a sudden urge to pick up my guitar

and there goes the song ......
