A quick word.

Haven't been blogging for sometime. I'm writing an e-entry because i'm lazy to pen my diary and i'm procrastinating; don't want to read my tax cases.

I'm halfway through my last lap in University. It's the term break now. There are a few major thoughts going through my mind.

School work's been pretty manageable. Learning to love my work, and mug because I love Jesus (Thank you Brother Lawrence for setting the pattern). Which is quite tough, especially when it comes to CONSOLIDATION.
Beware future accountants, because consolidation causes major confusion! It gets so frustrating. haha.

The biggest thought now is transition. It's uber major. And I'm quite looking forward to it, if i've not mentioned that previously.

Ok, back to McDermott Industries v Comissioner of Taxation.

Touched by the Greater

God has been speaking to me. And when He does, He turns you inside out and upside down.

Ever had the feeling of dissatisfaction, wondering what's the bigger picture in your life? Somehow, I felt life didn't serve up that great a purpose in mugging and working and the normal course of life. Deep deep inside, it was as if God was planting a seed.

First it was the hunger to see my friends and family saved. Then, when Ps Yang preached at Colours on Sunday, somehow, things fell into place. I was so gripped by what he was saying. I felt as if the Holy Spirit was looking through my facade into the deep recesses of my true feelings.

I felt as if, God had meant something greater than this. Honestly, I don't even know what to do about it. Quit my job? (kidding la!) Sell all I have and then go sit on the streets like Heidi Baker? Go full-time?

Don't exactly have the clearest picture. For now, there's a burning desire to strive even more to live for the eternal. I have been touched by the Greater.

GYM-craze + School

Well, school has started. And I've never felt more driven to do well, and mug hard. Well, that's partially due to the fact that if I get a B next sem, my honours will drop by one rung. I'm living on a thin thread. So this semester, I'm gonna give my best and mug very very hard!

Anyway, I'm doing this tax module on tax planning and all. The class is crazy! I feel "noob-ified" but the zai people in my class. But there seems to be this innate joy, excitement, desire, passion when I sit through the tax class.

Some people reading this might be going ," What?!! TAX?"

In retrospect, it was quite crazy that God would slant my decision towards a tax job. Now I know why.

Apart from that, it seems that this gym craze has possessed me. I've been feeling very excited about gym-ing these two weeks!!!

On a more introspective note, I need to learn to wait and be patient in many areas of my life. Like what Ps Lip said about making important decisions : "God if you don't speak, I won't move."

More 2009 resolutions

Ok here are some more "wants" to achieve in 2009. Won't call them resolutions, becuz I don't think I would have enough will, time, energy to follow through all of them.

1. Write more songs!! I must get down to writing songs. Or at least trying.
2. Study the Bible topically.
3. Read Chinese newspaper 15mins a day - this is a real challenge. But I must improve on my mandarin!

Ok that's about it. Anymore, and I don't think I can manage. =)

2009 Resolutions

After some thought, here are some goals I hope to achieve in 2009

1. Plant myself in Cornerstone - start serving, and owning the church! And availing myself for service. Think it's time.

2. Focus on God - making a conscious effort to choose Him, to obey Hi, to love Him above all else. I also want to draw closer to Him this year.

3. Grow in His word - I want to set aside time daily/ weekly to study God's word. Never got down to doing that on a routine basis last year.

4. Prioritise family! - I want to spend time with them! It might be tough, considering that I would be starting work in the 2nd half of the year.

5. To run the Stan Chart 42km marathon!
