Just a random shout-out post..

I THINK I AM GOING TO MISS ALL OF YOU AT WORK!

Yes of course I am not leaving la..but after all this is another chapter of my life closed

And naturally that opens more doors too!

Before a chapter of my life closes, I have the habit of reflecting on it

And especially to the people who have crossed my path and made a difference

I just want to say a big THANK YOU..

because without you, or rather because of you I have become who I am today!

 

To some of you…I would like to write a special message to you..and only to you coz you are special to me!

 

Xiaoshi: Thank you Coach! Once a coach always a coach huh? Haha..of coz a very big thank you for bringing me along this journey for the past 3 years…it has been a memorable and exciting walk I must say! I am glad God put you in my life (I am sure you feel likewise too..HAHAHA!) because without your existence, life must be kinda boring! I really still wonder why I keep having to be your 接班人 but whatever la huh…stop praying about it please..coz when your prayers come true it somehow makes me very busy!

Indeed I must also say that it is you who made me realize how patient and accomodating I really am *lalala*…as you know..you have always enjoyed testing my patience with all your last minute stuns..but of coz this is also how i learn to grow up and tolerate your nonsense…in the same way..i hope my nonsense didnt piss you off too much..hahaha! Thank you once again for being who you are…and of coz thank you for always being the 大姐姐 that i wanted but never had! Of coz minus the many bad examples…WAAHHAHAHAHA!

 

Ms Mah: Thank you for watching over and taking care of me all these while…especially over the last 10 weeks! I know I have always caused you to 心惊胆跳 coz I do everything too fast..including saying all the wrong things at the wrong time..heehee! But I still know that without me your life would not be so 精彩 right? Hahaha! I really really wanna tell you that I enjoyed working with you and I am so going to miss the 插电 and ‘i am hungry’ moments…

Thank you for all the little tips and skills that you have taught me along the way…they sure come in handy in future…and of coz all the ‘laugh-until-i-die’ moments which is going to stay with me for a lifetime! THANK YOU! I really have nothing much to say but to give thanks to YHWH because He placed you in my life..as a friend, mentor, sister! I also want a 姐姐 like you…coz you look like my 妹妹! hahaha! so small and pretty! Sitting opposite you everyday makes me feel good coz i get to see a pretty and smiley face all the time! Hahaha! Thanks for entertaining my nonsense at all times of the day..listening to my complains and whining so often and last but not least…thanks for being one of the few proper extrovert at work! you make time pass faster when it gets boring! hahahahaha!

 

Shenna: SHENNA CASTRO! omg you nonsense! thank god you didnt go back to the states yet! haiyo you are my partner in crime (no i mean at work!)…hahahhaah! working with you have always been such great fun because your random excitement tickles me very much! hahahhaha…i really think you are full of crap but still cute of coz! hahahahahaha..you are my sunshine at work and I so miss fighting the war at the front desk with you! remember those days in IP when we both always laugh laugh laugh! it was so fun! SHENNA you very good ah! TANKS!

 

Baoyue: Yes my ‘i-dunno-how-you-started-becoming-my-fren’ fren! indeed that scream across the walkway on that fateful afternoon made a very big difference to both our lives…look at where we are now man! hahahahaha….yes thank you woman! sometimes you really teach me about life’s biggest lessons with the random one sentence utterance which you happen to say at the right time! I give thanks for you and hopfully down the years I will continue to believe that the choice I made to talk to you 3 years ago was right…WHAAHAHHAHAHA! P.S.: Stop being late on my birthdays…:S

 

Many many loves to you all..thank you for making my life so exciting and fun!

 

What does this mean to you? June 15, 2009

Filed under: Friends — rachoo58 @ 12:36 am

One day, Love and Friendship met.

Love asked Friendship, “Why do you always appear when I am not around?”

Friendship then replied, “To put a smile in places where you left tears.

 

to you February 11, 2009

Filed under: Friends — rachoo58 @ 2:42 am

life is full of ups and downs…

when it is already sad enough with the 1234567890 things to worry about

why don’t you just let tomorrow worry for itself?

you may think that your problem is the biggest issue in life now

but there are seriously better and more beautiful things to ponder about…

life is great and cherish it

each of us only have one life to live

don’t ask why did God place you here on earth for but rather ask Him what is His purpose for you to be?

you can go on wallowing in your minor issues in life and get emotional and sad over it a million times

what good will it do you anyway?

when life gets a hold of you..think of those who love you rather than those whom you love but do not reciprocate…

it’s so easy to say, ‘yes i know, yes i understand’

but when it comes to, ‘yes i will’..its a different story altogether…

No matter how much life takes a toll on you…always remember..

“I can do all things through Him who strengthens me”

coz very simply…

Faith without action is dead..

so DO IT…don’t just preach it…

its tiring for me to listen…as well as you to repeat it…

Friends… January 18, 2009

Filed under: Friends — rachoo58 @ 8:40 pm

I have always loved this song

Because I find the lyrics so meaningful

But I never understood the essence of the meaning of this song

Until I saw you go today…

 

For you Anna!

 

farewell friend January 17, 2009

Filed under: Church,Friends — rachoo58 @ 1:23 am

i dun think we talked much when we were younger

but we kinda smiled at each other every now and then

i guess i knew your existence…i am not sure if you knew mine

but its ok…life goes on

then again i never expected our paths to cross again in such a perculiar manner

whatever it is…even as we didnt interact as much

i still do regard you as a fren…one whom i have lost contact with then…and till we meet again in heaven

you will be missed…by e pple you loved and loved you

i only could help you by giving you what i could have possibly done so

i hope that that blood of life which sustained your life for a day more have made a difference

i thank God for the opportunity to let me serve you just before you returned home to heaven

my dear sister-in-christ..your life is a testimony which taught me one of life’s greatest lessons

cherish your loved ones…and true enough…

…love wins…love always wins…

May the peace and love of Yahweh be with you always Anna…

FAREWELL MY FRIEND

 

Fishers of Men November 9, 2008

Filed under: Friends,Random — rachoo58 @ 7:35 pm

Feeling really sick of studying

I decided that i should do smthg else

So..its time for some practice on the keyboard i guess

after a short while it became more than just a practice

it became my own personal worship time…solely between God and me!

refreshing experience i say!

i really felt no burden no stress…its…hmmmm…NICE!

than i went to take a cup of water to hydrate myself…

and in e process of drinking…3 words came to mind

“FISHERS OF MEN”

what on earth are these 3 words supposed to mean to one who is drinking water?

like probably only you fish in water?!?!?!?!?!?!

i have heard these words like a thousand times but it never really got into me coz nobody explains what it really means?

but i decided to go find out more..since e tot jus wldnt leave my mind…

so i asked xuan…

this is a short excerpt from our random conversation (which is quite funnie!)

 

[The path you take with your feet should never contradict the conviction of your heart <rach>] says:

[The path you take with your feet should never contradict the conviction of your heart <rach>] says:

xuan; when God moves, He really moves. says:

[The path you take with your feet should never contradict the conviction of your heart <rach>] says:

[The path you take with your feet should never contradict the conviction of your heart <rach>] says:

what a strange conversation! October 15, 2008

Filed under: Friends,Random — rachoo58 @ 11:11 pm

Tell me about strange conversations!

I was taking my dinner in e office pantry when Abi, Theo, and I have many strange conversations

Think about these…

Homework…hey ‘work’ and ‘home’ dun go you know…you should not be doing any work at home! so homework is an oxymoronic term!

School holiday classes…hey its a holiday…classes dun go with holidays too!

Sleepovers…hey this is paradoxical…you have sleepovers but you dun sleep…you talk e whole night away!

and in case you are still confused to what you are reading

dun worry…we also have not much of an idea how this conversation started off…

just being super random…3 very bored pple in office..this is probably what you get

and really…tell me about living in this very strange world…hahaha!

times like this August 22, 2008

Filed under: Church,Friends,Random — rachoo58 @ 2:42 am

I went down for Chrystal’s grandma’s wake this afternoon

it was really difficult for me to find time as my weekly schedule is packed with school, work, and my social commitments

but i guess i had to prioritize and send my regards by my presence for the family..as my way of showing support as well as concern

the afternoon was really quiet but i had a good chat with auntie emily

could see that uncle doug was really drained and perhaps suppressing his emotions

but i guess as the head of e hsehold, he had to reflect in his behaviour the strength tt would sustain the family in times like this…

my short conversation with auntie emily was really simple and nice

she shared with me the times when uncle doug used to take care of her dad when he was living his last days in this world

how uncle doug would make an effort to carry her dad down flights of stairs to take a stroll around the neighbourhood

how he would make an effort to send her dad to church on weekly routine without fail

not a word of complain but rather satisfaction and accomplishment on how he could be of service to his father-in-law in every way

he won her father’s acceptance eventually through his sincerity

these are just very simple acts translated into a very beautiful story of love

love is a choice and not a feeling…

it is a choice that one make a commitment that takes a lifetime to fulfil

i believe that it must have taken so much of uncle doug to do these acts of service but i know that it was out of love for his wife and her family that he did it willingly with so much joy

it was a living testimony for all to witness

 

and it is precisely because of these people that i still hold on to e belief that true love exist

at least i know and witness it

and perhaps one day i would love to experience it for myself

 

a man of God..is all i seek

one who truly loves and fears God

one who can strengthen and encourage me in my spirtual walk with God

i believe that all e other factors will naturally come into place with that first condition fulfilled!

Amen!
