Am I Pregnant.... Again?

So did my blog title cause you to sit up, and set your antenna working? Haha, seriously, I was very curious and suspicious these few weeks... Firstly, my 'Da Yee Ma' never come visit me for almost 2 mths le (ok, I'm being very open here), recently I've been feeling nauseous in the morn and have been experiencing some backaches, mood swings and loss of appetite. BUT, no, I was not expecting - got it tested 2 times. Hmm... my hubby was bit disappointed, I was relieved :P

I guessed I have been stressed over work recently. Yet, I keep on telling myself: 'Don't lose your joy, have a happy soul and you will prosper in whatever things you do.' Seriously, I made a few mistakes at work, couldn't concentrate and focus sometimes, esp when you have so many things to handle. I seriously need to get myself organised and priortise my work well. Am looking at getting a PDA phone, a blackberry might do the trick. But, many pple say blackberry is a curse of the modern technology. Hee hee..

So enough of the stress reports. Decided to share a testimony. Recently I was awarded as an over-achiever for the last qtr in the whole of the sales dept. I was thrilled! Though there's no gift or prize reward, but the recognition is enough to motivate me to the next goal - that is to receive the Platinum Award at the end of the FY. The receiver of this Award will win for himself/herself a trip for 2 to any country of your choice in Europe plus all expenses paid that's worth $20K in cash. Attractive right? (Drools...) Evelyn was saying that if I could get $20K cash, I could go Europe and buy back some of the LVs, Gucci, Pradas and YSLs and bring back to Spore to start a rental service. Not a bad idea though... Anyway, it's really a far-fetched dream, but who knows with God, all things are possible! Currently, I'm ranked no. 9... Therefore, I guess Yo has already started his praying & fasting for me oredi. Ha ha..

So, urgh-huh... no plans for the 2nd kid yet. If not, I won't have the energy to run for my sales. Hmm, hope this answers the qns that some of you have been asking me on FB... :)

Love,
JY

My Celebration with CHC

As for me, it has just merely been a journey of 11 years ever since I stepped foot in City Harvest Church. And like what many of the pioneers shared during today's 20th Anniversary Celebration Service, it has been a step where I've really never looked back. At least, this is the place - my church, where I've experienced joy, sadness, times of breakthrough and really extreme brokenness, a place where I've found my identity, discovered and developed my leadership qualities, bumped into the love of my life and learned how to build my little family.

I was not really expecting my mum to come with me, as she always would change her mind at the very last minute. However, I guessed it might be because I made an effort to accompany her to go for a singing competition audition on sat (which she was really jittering over it) that ultimately she attended the service. (Ok, and also partly because her dear grandson Javier was performing).

I was really quite cool about the service, not super excited - I also don't know why...probably the whole task of preparing Georgie for svc, driving them down, and the effort to guide 2 new friends (my mum and maid), 1 frightened baby who was overwhelmed by the loud cheers and applause during the 'Don't Forget the Lyrics' segment, and 1 heavy-duty pram up the many flights of stairs to our seats, have tired me out tremendously. I was literally sweating profusely when I was seated down. However, what made my day was the strong presence of God that made me tear continuously and also the experience of my mum worshipping God standing next to me.

Yes, my mum was really worshipping God. At least, she lifted up BOTH her hands and sang the songs loud enough for me to hear in the midst of the huge congregation: 'Beautiful One, Merciful God, God of all heavens, reigning in my heart....' then followed by 'Because of You, I could live again, Because of You, Heaven knows my name...'. And you know what, she also sang together 'Sing Sing Sing' when the children church presented their item. By the way, my mum is chinese-speaking and doesn't really converse in English well. She pronounced Durian as 'Liu Lian', that's how bad it is.

Anyway, praise God for today! I'm really happy because I know that salvation is near. I'm looking forward for the next 20 years to come. But before I continued running in this race again, I know that there are some priorities that I need to re-adjust, some fire and passion that I need to capture back, some conviction and commitment that I need to re-affirm again.

And to all my friends that have been with me for the past 11 years, I really thank you guys for your love and support and friendship at every phase of my life! May we run together with victory for the next 20 years to come!
