Time for spring cleaning....for the soul (Part II)

Today I managed to call the personal empowerment contact person that my boss passed to me. Right now I need to pray for God to provide the resource and opportunity to attend the workshop. Hmmm...didn't realise that this kind of workshop can cost RM888!! It's supposed to be at Mont Kiara for a weekend but only food is provided, not a stay-in workshop. It should be sometime before the end of the year. She just needs at least 10 people to start the workshop but right now she only has about 4 people interested.

Gosh! I really need to work out my budget....what with Christmas coming and all. Time to get a little creative again this Christmas?? Do I have the time??!! Time is such a precious commodity to me....sigh. I need to MAKE TIME!! Just have time to start getting in touch with my soul again by making this simple list:

What makes me happy:
Dancing and singing in the rain!
Puppies and dogs...love to watch them sleep and eat
Making music...on my piano, violin, guitar...anything!!
Playing with children especially toddlers
The joy of sharing and seeing someone receive Christ
Thinking back of the time when I first discovered the way to heaven is free
Feeling and smelling the fresh crisp sheets of newly changed bedsheets
Watching the night sky and singing praise songs at 1am in the morning
Discovering a rainbow in the sky
Smelling the fresh air after a heavy rainfall
Giving and receiving presents!
Chatting and spending some light hearted moments with my friends
The look of a child when she discovers something new/exciting.
Walking on the beach
Snuggling in bed on a rainy day
Cheese....anything from mozarella to cheddar
Chocolate...anything from ice-cream to frapuccino.
A good haircut...and a hairdresser
Watching a good comedy
The feeling I get after a good workout.

Hmm....20 items...not bad for starters. This list is actually things I've done or experienced before. Some might think I must be crazy...but what the heck, it makes me happy and it's not illegal...hehe! Maybe the next list I should do is "What do I want to do before I die"....gotta find time for that.

Take the Lead...never follow

Can Antonio Banderas dance? I have seen "Shall We Dance" and Richard Gere can definitely sway. But I have yet to see Antonio Banderas, the actor who is famous for his macho, he-man roles, dance. Hmm...maybe he did in Evita, I forget. So this I gotta see. Listening to all my dance 'kaki' rave about the movie and how it made them want to get up and dance along in the cinema, sure whetted my appetite. But then, even if they didn't say anything, I would have not missed it. Based on a true story of how a dance teacher wanted to teach a bunch of street kids that nobody thought they had any future, how to dance. Oh, these kids can dance but ballroom dancing? And in the end, he didn't just teach them about ballroom dancing, but about life. To teach them to believe in themselves. That if they want to achieve something, they had to work at it and not blame your circumstances for pulling you down. To teach the guys how to treat a lady with respect cos beating ...

RM 1 Million Dollar Wedding (Part II)...Go ahead, throw the first stone!

Just saw another article on the 'infamous couple' this morning and was feeling a little outraged. Transsexual drama queen?? Sinful couple?? Who gave these people the right to condemn them? Who do they think they are? God? My anger is not because he is my friend, but the at the judgemental attitude of society. Too often we are ready to accuse others unjustly of wrongdoing. We fail to see that we, ourselves, are guilty of sins. Judging is necessary in life, but it must be done fairly. Even as we judge, so we shall be judged (Matthew 7: 2). Sometimes, our motives for judging are for improper purposes. Putting someone down makes us feel superior but it is actually a manifestation of pride. When we enjoy besmirching another, we become "stone throwers" and we lose grace. If you look in the Bible at passage (John 8:1-11) , Jesus didn't condemn sinners but extended outrageous grace. The scene is the temple courts where Jesus was teaching. The Pharisees, unable to g...

RM 1 Million Wedding (Part I)

A recent article came out in The Star tabloid regarding a couple who spent about RM 1 million ringgit on their wedding. Now this was no ordinary wedding...the bride happens to be a man who underwent three major surgeries in order to be a woman and the groom happens to be.................... my ex-schoolmate! For the full article, just click here Imagine my shock when I saw the photo and article. Hmmm...didn't know he had it in him to love someone so much, he proposed six times to her(him?). I used to see him in school back in Form 6. He even dated my classmates before...ahem, they happened to be females. He's quite a good looking guy and though I've lost touch with him now, he used to join my class when we went out for group outings. He's actually a quiet guy and also quite active in sports, but I didn't really knew him very well. I can still remember the time he came to persuade me from quitting as a librarian. What happened was when I started my Lower 6 F...
