Mandarin oranges anyone?

First, they took moon cakes to another level.And now, they did this to the mandarin oranges...cute, eh? In fact, too cute to be eaten.

These are actually small chocolates balls with orange flavoured sugar coatings. They are shaped like little mini mandarin oranges and packed in large dim sum basket. The whole 'mandarin orange' could be eaten except for the 'lil small stalk stuck onto the top.

It was sent to our office by one of our supplier. Honestly, the taste wasn't really that great thanks to the weird orange sugar coat but I guess many wouldn't mind receiving this radical Chinese New Year gifts for a change :) No idea where they got this CNY gift from. There was a website address printed on the paper bag that says www.cocoaffair.com but we found out that it wasn't a valid address.

Amazing how enterprising people can get nowadays, eh?

Gotta START somewhere...

Its 13th January 2008! 13 days has passed for the year...keep telling myself I want to start doing something to make this year a better year. Day by day passed but still nothing much is done.

Today, I told myself that I got to get that '2008 Journal' of mine. Every year I will get a small diary for my daily spiritual journal inputs. This year however, I have been delaying it. Silly excuses like 'too expensive, can't find a nice diary' & etc was part of the reason for the procrastination. Had to admit, because of that, I didn't have a proper place to write down all my devo / spiritual inputs for 2008 yet.

So yea, told myself I think I got to start somewhere , somehow. Finally, today after lunch I made a 'purposeful' trip to the nearest bookstore and bought an averagely looking diary for my journal records. Who cares about how the book looks like or whether its suits my taste or not (normally I'm very particular about it). I just needed something to START...buying the diary was a step to START the ball rolling towards working for a better year!

First entry on my journal for year 2008 starts on 13th January...I guess better then never...

So what you're gonna do bout it?...

A little glimpse of what we had during our MAXIS Bible Study today...

Imagine walking up to your mailbox and finding an envelope addressed to you and all the return address said was : God.

Here's what's inside...

My Dear Child,

I love you. I desire to spend as much time with you as possible. I took great joy in being part of your creation and your salvation. I consider My sacrifice for you a sign of My significant love for you. My child, I want the best for you. I believe in you. I look forward to our daily times together. It gives Me great pleasure to spend time with you. Don't forget, I'm always with you.

Love,

God

What would you have done if you've gotten this letter from God himself? Wait a minute, let me rephrase that...

What would you NOT HAVE DONE if you've gotten this letter from God himself?

Awesome eh? If you are a child of God, imagine it no more. That's exactly what He is trying to tell you right now! You are HIS CHILD and this is YOUR LETTER! Now that you know that...So what you're gonna do about it?

Goodbye 2007, Hello 2008...

Heya...Yea, for a moment I almost wanted to abandon this blog. So many things and so little time to write...I thought might as well forget it. But, here I am again! :) Kept thinking that it's not worth to trash something that I have decided to start and so...here we go...

Goodbye 2007, the year...

• Participated in APYAC in Jakarta!
• Got the opportunity to visit Bangkok somehow with an almost all expense paid trip! (with His blessings!)
• Bought myself a PDA, unique watch, gifts & etc...(probably the year that I spent the most on myself...very rare)
• Privileged to take on the design jobs for the YAM and to serve in the YAM Band (Influence & HUGE). Glad was able to help up! :)
• Being part of the BOH ministry someway, somehow (design and everything else I could help)
• My working hour seems to extend by itself as the months passed by.
• Increase of 'Friend-o-meter'
• One of those years where your Emo-ness and tears just could leave you alone
• More exposure and learning experience as I work (as a result of being in the "Hampalang Department')
• Lost my whole handbag with my hand phone, PDA and many other valuable stuff in it just 2 days before Christmas (Romans 8:28)
• Celebrated a 'Movie Christmas' by entering the cinema 2 times on Christmas day
• Experienced one of my most quiet Christmas and New Year...(after so many years of rushing for presentations and what not. No complains, just felt weird)
• Had our very own youth retreat in the most 'jungle' place in GRYP Retreat history, with us organising it ourselves (thank God for His Hands)
• I did it again!...No hand made Christmas gifts for the 2nd year...sweat!

I guess there's more to it but I just could pen it all down at once. 2007...a year of weird combinations...

And so, Goodbye 2007 and Hello 2008...a brand new year, a brand new start. 2007 was a year of preparation, so that I would be ready for 2008...and the process goes on each year! Hopefully, never stops till He comes again...
