Lighten Up!by Charles R. Swindoll
Proverbs 17:22If I had two words of advice to give to people today, those words would be, "Lighten up!" Teenagers only need one word to say the same thing, "Chill!"
One of the sad byproducts of an uptight lifestyle is the absence of fun and laughter. Unfortunately, we who are more conservative in our theology, believing that the Bible really is God's Word, tend to be far too serious about everything. While we're intense about growing deeper in our walk with Christ and sincere about applying the truths of Holy Scripture to our lives (and there's everything right about both!), without realizing it, we slowly begin to lose our sense of humor.
It's like, if you are really committed to spiritual things, you don't have time to have fun anymore. Frankly, the guy who came up with that kind of nonsense should have been shot at sunrise while nobody was looking.
A great sense of humor is not only enjoyable for others to be around, it's downright healthy. As Solomon once wrote, "A joyful heart is good medicine, / But a broken spirit dries up the bones" (Proverbs 17:22).
The statement in Hebrew is even more vivid. It reads, literally, "a joyful heart causes good healing." In other words, there are physical, mental, and emotional benefits to relaxing, for leaving room in our lives for fun and laughter. How easy it is to forget that! When we do, our faces tighten up, our nerves get tense, and we take too much of life too seriously. As one of my mentors used to say with a twinkle in his eye, "You can be a fundamentalist, but you don't have to look like it!" One very funny lady once suggested that when we start looking like that photo on our passport, we need to stop traveling. A popular and clever comedian of yesteryear, the late Fred Allen, used to say that it was bad to suppress your laughter, because when you do, it goes back down and spreads to your hips.
Hey... take a look in the mirror. You'll be able to see right away if you've begun to suppress your laughter!

My G.i.G 2
My God is GOOD~!!!!!!!!!! was feelin darn emo on monday... i almost broke down at work but since i'm facing a glass panel and the others in the room can oni see my back, they cudnt tell... and i din really tell anyone except for HMM whom of coz i knew i can trust for good advices? i was so emo larrrrr!!!!! was originally very emo due to work as i am given a dumb deadline for loads of stuff to complete juz becoz i am goin on exam leave... and certain things dat do not have to be finished dat fast she wans it dONE!!!!! arGHHHHH... dat includes loading hundreds and thousands of stuff into the online shop... images..... prices!!! calculating the prices... and filtering those we sell!!!! ARGHHHHHHH~!!! CAN U BELIEVE THAT? besides doin those.... theres some books we sold to school libraries to be processed!!! i nEeda DO THOSE as well!!!!!!!!!!! AARGHHHHH......!!!!! all before i go on exam leave... and it means stayin back to do... or goin home to do... or cancellin some of my leAVE as WELL.... well, she expects me to be able to study a whole year of stuff in 3 days before my exam... being 2 days the exam days.. 5 days of leave before world book fair.... how is dat? =/
and after dat my fren told me some stuff dat made me felt worse.... askin to hope that i understand.... but i cant!!!!!! i dun understand the reason giving up so easily.... i really dont... giving up without even putting a fight? through we might fail... but then again... it'll make u stronger isnt it? as in... the nxt time u'll be more alert.. aware and careful? haiiiz.... so all these.... i almost broke down.... with all these crap.... considering even later... i realised i was goin to fr class ALONE... with the Mr Pointer pointing ard? but he didnt point on monday.. he was rather nice but i never manage to copy all the stuffs as fast as i cud...but i suppose i can try work thgs out and email him for answers if i really cant get.
anyway thanks to HMM who gave me a verse on monday before class which really made me felt better and talking to her kinda makes me feel better? slightly comforted....
Philippians 4:12-13 NIV
12I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
13I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
i can do EVERYTHING through him who gives me strength..... all along whenever i meet deadlines at work which i tink i cant catch up... i've asked for help from HIM who is able in all.... to give me strength and refresh me...... why do i let myself become so overwhelmed this time? due to work n exams comin together at the same time... well.. this really reminded me to cast my burdens unto HIM and not be troubled by all for if i have no trust.. there is nothing i can accomplish with my own strength.. needless to say, being EMO certainly doesnt give me any strength and i felt sickly during the last few days since saturday... after i spoke to my boss on the leave thingies...
today, well, was tryin to find a verse on a certain thgy while on the way to vivo... on my phone on bible gateway.... i went in and found something which really HIT ME in the FACE... yeah... HIT ME IN THE FACE!!!! the way God speaks is just so amazing... usually i refer it as SCARYYY... but its not scARY.. its juz so AMAZING that i find it scary... HE KNOWS WHAT WE'RE THINKING and how we're really...... true and real enough dat when u see the words... it just kinda HITS you in the mind.... thats how the IMPACT feels..... so this is the verse i saw instead... and it came out juz in 1 verse in NLT... tho i was searching for like something totally different...
Proverbs 17:22 NLT
22 A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.
A cheerful heart is good medicine but a broken spirit saps a persons strength.... How true this is... that when our spirits are down we cant find strength within us to do anything, how our bodies fail on us when no joy is found within our hearts... how that no matter what we do we juz cant find the energy to get ourselves back UP.... and we juz go on feelin EMOOOOOOO!!!! i felt HIT in the face.... well.. not a bad thg... its like tellin me i shd not be EMO liao.... well actually today i felt ok liao lar... but the fact of seeing this juz felt SOMETHING lor... dunno howda describe wat kinda feelin this is.. but it was a good feeling. =) like He's speakin to me that he knows how i feel and is telling me not to be emo for it will sap all the strength i have... that i shd be cheerful... =D which of coz i am now!!!! hahahahhahaha! it feels good......!!! =)
Dear heavenly father... u have brought me through times and things i didnt thought i could accomplish.... and you have shown me that it is You who controls all things.... that all we had was to ask... and seek for you lord to help us in all things that we face... that we have faith in you lord... that you are able to bring us through all that we face, that you know how we feel, that we're never alone... i may fail in certain things but in these you have shown me things i could have done to improve myself... that all these were to mould me into a better person... in your grace and mercy that i am able to have chances to do so.... that you have blessed me with wonderful friends around me who reminds me of your existence and power.. that you spoke to me in times of my needs.... that you blessed my days when i spoke to you in the mornings, of my worries..... may i continue to look upon you on all things and THANK you lord....
in jesus name i pray... AMEN....

mom was talkin abt him earlier... but juz talkin lar... sometimes i wonder if she misses him.. but i suppose she wud bah? nevertheless he was the one whom she grew up with, since their mother passed away early.
sometimes i cant help but think ahgong lived a pretty tough life... =( =( not sure if lonely was an appropriate word to say but then again he has alot of friends... he had friends of other races as well... =/ which i am rather amazed.....

Jelly FIsh Invasion
was watching some kinda documentary on tv about jellyfish invasion in the oceans. they're very hardy and can survive on harsh conditions unlike other sea creatures and they have survived more than 600 million years... dats like WOW? and guess wat? they have been invadin the seas of japan and the fishermans are like catchin jellyfishes instead of fishes? when they raise their nets its like all jellyfish plus a few badly stung dead fishes? its like OMT lorz.... =.= some of the fishermans resorted to stabbing and killin the jellyfishes they caught which in fact, the sperms and eggs of the jellyfish remains in the ocean and sorta breed into even more.... a female and male jellyfish each has easily millions of eggs/sperms on their body.... thats lIKE WHATTTTTTTTTTTT??? breeding machines i say...
well, they say time in the ocean is turning backwards while time in the outside world is going forward.... its going back to the ages where the oceans are dominated by jellyfishes... dats not a good thg as when jellyfish dominates a part of the ocean, chances are other species of creatures will not be able to stay there and they breed fast.. so if this continues den where are the poor fishes gonna go... and due to the fact that they are venomous.... big fishes are not spared from this fate lor...
ekkk... dats bad.... i still wan sashimi..... dun suppose stung dead fishes can be eaten... =.= and beaches cant be safe to swim in anymore if jellyfish really dominates the oceans.... they're kinda sayin global warming may be one of the causes plus ice caps melting... change in currents in the sea.. etc.... its like haiiiiiiIZzzzzz.... all our fault lo.... like we're gonna kill ourselves lidat.. haiiii... i use to like jellyfish coz i tot they're kinda cute... bubbly.... and colorful... but after tonite i tink i dun like jellyfish anymore...
Fun fact... 1 jellyfish can kill a plankton filled olympic pool size area within a day.... juz 1 jellyfish... dun tink i phrased it out all that well.. i'm juz tryin to say a jellyfish can kill all the planktons in a olympic size pool.... within 1 day.... its suppose to be FILLED with la.. not very little i suppose.. since they say until lidat...
how poisonous to be stung by it.. anyway enufz abt it.......
gonna go to bed ler... kinda sickly today... sneezed.. coughed.... felt feverish.....nose leakin slightly and puffy watery itchy eyes..... its a prelude.......... =/

Wow.. Time Flies
Time flies.. its been like almost a month since i last posted? my my.... well... been very very very caught up with work lately that i feel abit nauseous during the day when i'm stuck at my desk clearin the stuff for the new software n etc... that occasionally i would have to go for a break at the toilet and keep my eyes away from the stuffs for a moment to rest...
what else i've been doin durin e mth was bringing dorcas out on one of e sat.. and we went Ben n jerrys... LOL.. she kinda like ordered the most not interesting flavour... Vanilla.. lol.. which u can find anywhere. lol... i kinda ordered Phish Food.. pronounced as FiSh food, where u have little fish-shaped chocolates inside the chocolate ice cream, cherry garcia... one of my liked ones... with e vanilla... cookie dough is abit on e sweet end so i din get that then... e day sorta ended with me n her still walkin ard novena square n den back to hg where her parents picked her up n dropped me off at my plc... interesting that e nxt day i went out with her sister.. =) but the latter was a planned outing la... had swensens with CM and e others before headin out with my pet..
last weekend i had classes... so was kinda drained thru the week and this week.. since i had classes during the week also... was quite pissed with the school's arrangements... they gave us a class that was so narrow n long dat we couldnt see a thing from behind.... michael bochap and lifted his table and carried it all the way to the front where gab was.... =_=" i was abit dumbfounded but wasnt gonna do the same la... he had to carry it above ppls head and i was so scared he'll knock e lights off while carryin it to e front. dUH.... they sat near e door so there isnt any place so i kinda juz stayed behind and slacked... still wondering if i shd complain abt the lousy arrangements.. took a photo of the class and how terrible it was....
someone actually pissed me off yday again and i felt very offended by wat was being said... then again i dun tink i'd really care abt wat was being said as it wouldnt do me any good. oh well... everythg is based on our choice n perceptions therefore choosing wats best for myself would be better rather than feelin offended n pissed the whole time abt something someone said. aint it?
bought ashleys present lastnite at Fox Kids... kids clothes are rather expensive i must say.. wanted to get her a viewmaster with additional mickey slides since she said she like mickey.. as we bumped into her at kiddy palace but then again she has loads of toys dat she plays and chuck aside so there goes... clothes would be a more practical choice... =)
today the air ard is very bad... everywhere smells of smoke... makin my nose felt irritated early in the morning n durin certain times of e day.. but my nose has been quite bad lately in the mornings i muz say.. every morning very blocked.... wonder if its coming back and gonna accumulate again.. =/ hate it... hate the dumb blocked feelin and when u sneeze its like still stuck inside behind the glands. arghhhhhhhhh..... nothing comes out? well abit does come out la.. but the bulk of it is remaining inside..! argh.. oh well.. gonna bathe again so dat i can watch 阿宅later then sleep for the nite.... when i tink of work.. i cant sleep.. when i tink of studies i cant sleep..... so usually i try hard not to tink of anythg when i am gonna slp... coz watever i tink of... it makes me sleepless.... =/
