The Little Children and Jesus
Mark 10:
13People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." 16And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.
Oh ya, it is my desire to sow seeds to my peers in school... very quickly my tertiary ed will be coming to an end... 1.5 yrs left...Lord, help me approach mny friends in a way in which they know I am indeed caring and loving them...and that they can listen with a childlike faith.
the 3rd rat year cycle
It's CNY now and the Year of the Rat has been ushered in a few days ago.
I'm born in the year of the rat, that makes me 24 this yr. And in fact, it's the 3rd time in my life that i live in 'my' year.
this is when i am less than a yr old. my first rat year. 
A baby learning how to crawl, starting to babble and having no trouble.
It seems i was carefree and my concern would be my next meal time...and whether i can finish the entire bottle of milk or not. Ah-ha! look at me! so chubby! Blessed baby william didn't now how his first 12 years would be...would he experience turmoil, more downs than ups, losses or would it be luxurious, carefree and victories before his 2nd encounter with the year of the rat?
God is good. Although i wasn't a believer of Jesus Christ, I led a good life. God indeed let rain fall on the saved and the unsaved. my Heavenly Father would already known me when i was kicking in my mother's womb. Little william grew up to be a rather popular boy whom found compliments and was aunties' fav as he irritated them with "AUNTIE!!! AUNTIEEE!!"
Thank God for my beautiful caring parents who disciplined...
so privileged to have been to the zoo, played the piano, sung on stage, swam at pool, traveled overseas, learned tkd, flown guys, and nv once have i stayed in the hospital.
I chipped my teeth, got done with chicken pox, scored 2 points in a inter-school C division bball competition... ahhh...my first crush! Ms Tan! haha...2 yrs long...
yada yada...i cannot compact my 12 years in one writing.
My second rat year! 
That was my family and I 12 years ago during CNY. HAHA! CNY 1996. Could u recall anything that happened that year!?
1996 was the beginning of the 2nd cycle beginning from mr rat. haha...the youth phase. that was rather a critical phase according to mummy as to whether i become a outright rebellious, uncouth, incorrigible youth... some may see 13-18 the turbulent years.
The challenges of life which had disappointments and exitements tagging along came by...with many other things. BGRs, school excellence, personel achievement, scholarship, competitions, school works, projects, late nights, new house... experimenting with relationships.
My greatest gift during this cycle was to receive Jesus as my Saviour and Lord. To know that i am made right with God through Christ who died on the cross and 3 days later, raised from dead. My relationship with Jesus started at 14 when rui brought me to her church camp. Many adventurous and ugly matters followed.
Jesus never left
He made my path straight. Slowly, as the years past, i came to know that everything can become shadow in the light of Jesus. I need not score straight As, need not get scholarship, need not earn merits, need not earn millions of dollars, neither do i need cars, credit card, condo, cash, country club... to be successful in life and get to heaven.
Just Christ
and everything would fall nicely in place. I'll be blessed by Him who loves us. Very simple analogy would be giving the one whom u love the best ... well...evidently Jesus loves us so much that He died for u and I.
So i had favour and blessing following me throughout the days of my life... i went to VJC and later on completed my NS safely as an officer b4 starting my uni tertiary (with a purpose) at arts and ss, reading social work
I had failed r/s...i was in the wrong. I had quarrels...and silent wars...i was stubborn (am still, ast times)... I saw the passing on of my juniors, my peers and went for funerals of old pp.
I've been asked...what is the purpose of my life...do i waste my life on earth?
What's urs? It's NOW that u should try to fig out if u are living purposefully?
I had many intellectual, and mentally stimulating and also fruitful conversations with peers, adults and juniors... dealing with politics, ethics and life
The second cycle proved to be very eventful. VERY VERY eventful and as i age, and as i look back... faithful and life-long frens are few... and i believe i have some... starting with Jesus!...
and thank God for Chekhui too!
So the 3rd cycle of the rat has begun a while ago... i'm turning 24.
What would this cycle be like? What would be the same? what changes (positive/negative) would there be? My future is in not in my hands...(stay off palm-readers), neither is it based on horoscope, astrology.... My future is not depended on what class honours i will grad with, how much i will be paid.
Instead, it is Jesus, who has promised to bless me accordingly, and whom i will put my trust on. and with that assurance, i know i can face the future as it is...
and this is my family photo taken this year... CNY 2008
