The Rising

I enjoyed listing to the hit song for KL Emerge, The Rising

It goes:

All around me, All I see is the Impossible,Or so it seems
But then I change my lenses, look beyond my circumstances
The eyes of faith make all the difference
Hope will arise, Hope will arise

Launch me like a cannon ball, I soar up high above it all
This is not my flight of fancy, I define reality
The fuel of faith drives me on, I will endure and finish strong
Holy Ghost empowering, This is it, This is the Rising

I need Your grace for all my days
Carry me on the wings of faith

Presenting to YOU the impact of KL Emerge experience (part 2)

I am continually blessd by the people in KL, Pastor Kevin, church members from ministry... I have to say their church have the DNA of our Church in S'pore, growing from glory to glory each time we went.

I was impacted most in the last svc,when Pst Kong used Pst Kevin, in whom displayed the qualities of the sonship. Pst Kong said whatever he has, Pst Kevin will tend to follow after him, eg: a watch he wore,Pst Kevin will wear a similar design,even as our church started the Emerge,he followed...Your church is my church, your friends are my friends, your people are my people....

Your vision,my vision.

I guess most of the S'pore team are truly blown away by Pastor Kong's heartfelt preaching, not just that, but the presence which was immensely stronger than the all other sevices..

Upon our realisation, we discover even their people are so imperfect, they are still part of us, we were brought closer to the word "acceptance!" Though most of the time we tend to be judgemental,in the imperfect pple, imperfect customer service, in the environment.. but we do need to admit that we ourselves are not so perfect too..

And of course we enjoyed ourselves in every events "The Beauty Pageant", "the Greatest loser", exciting performance by Shawn Lee,the no 9th Beatboxer champion in the world, Special performance by celebrity & my Fav POS(Parade of School), a cheerleading performance!



I am all excited about school revival, or workplace revival, & also family salvation! I really do hope in the upcoming years, our church will cont to organise an Emerge, a time where creativity & talents are released!=)

My KL Emerge experience Part 1

Hmm sometimes in life i felt i have outgrown myself of youth events, I attended the 2008 Emerge in Kuala Lumpur, maybe nah just once is enough!
Prob just staying at home shower attention to my love ones will be more than enough, going through the mediocre of life seems fine with me...
However God works in a different way,in the Spirit,its seemingly telling me "You shall not missed it, I have a greater impartations for you." So I prayed & fasted.
All along, I have a vision of being a missionary,travelling around the world to spread the gospel, i know coming to the realistic view of S'pore it seems impossible, the finances to sustain, how?

But my God is a great God... he took my imagination to a greater heights,"Eyes has not seen,nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man.The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."<1cor2:9> He challenged my faith & opened my eyes to a greater perspectives......wow! I can't even hold my breath..

At the beginning of our KL Trip other than our self-indulgence of the beautiful shopping areas, awesome food, i kept on reminding myself not to overly spend my hard-earned money, missionary but not mission spender! His blessing to me is to do great works, to be a blessing to others.
Subsequently we have to be real focus, Impartations next come Application, we have to apply our skills & talents, what we have learnt to serve His people. One thing I learnt "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."(MATT6:33) Ultimately He added closer r'ship with my family,bonds of trust, love & appreciation. Breakthrough in workplace, i have to admit that i have very nice colleagues, understanding superiors, not everyone is perfect but i found friends who are willing to listen, believe in what you are, encouraging you to work harder, challenge yourself for a greater excellence. Be more sensitive to ur patients, who say elderly doesn't have feelings? Anyway that's another blog updates..:)

During the Emerge,our team we served & we served,I became tired, dropdead, missing my home, He dropped me an encouragement, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness"<2cor12:9> Yi lun ever taught me is easy to praise when we are doing well, but is a scacrifice of praise when we praised Him at our lowest period! I praised, & sang tgr with good pal Xin Yi. And I felt we were being launched up like a cannon ball!! Whee!!

To be continued....

Sri Lanka day(the end of blog)

Going for this mission trip is indeed life changing,my skills are put to use & walking closer to His calling for me. Sometimes at work or in life when I felt discourage,i'll think back of the Sri lanka kids,they have nothing yet we have everything but not satisfied....they are truly my motivator!
I make great friends from the team of 10 pple during the trip.

I went to the trip with Pst Gideon(from Tamil svc),He's totally so funny! Haha, as He was helping to translate the diagnosis of of the Tamil's pple,eg: 1 patient has an ulcer in the mouth, from Tamil to English lang...He had a fruit growth in the mouth! The other example,i think the patient had a heartburn,complaining of stomac burning...it was translated to I got stomach fire!!
It was totally hilarious!! And he shared with us stories of how he first met his wife...inspiring really & romantic of course!;) Will share with u the full details if u'r interested to know..

Then our team was leaded by David ECD,though i was wishing very much that Pst Kenneth would come along too! Though he maybe someone tt's very D,yet without him,we might not be able to complete the journey on time.Really thankful to him:)

Along the mission team,we have 2 Doctors, Dr Jin Kiat & Tiffany tang, the best doctors i ever wored with,they are so funny! Not those kind with full of attitude u experience in hospital,but the ones serving with passion & love.I was so inspired by them, & it happens that both of them have got the same birthdates....but don't be mistaken they are not couples,just coincidentally.. haha!

Working along with me is Nurse Peck! She's totally work orientated when it comes to work, really a good nurse,ang given me great advises for my future, emphasise the importance of me to go for further studies,yea I'll want to study the best I can,be as influential as I can for Lord Jesus Christ.

And also Jin shui,we kept on calling him kim jui...oops! He's been so helpful throughout the trip, esp on the fourth day of the trip when we had been so busy with the administering & explanation of the medications,he helped us so much with the packaging,which saved us a lot of trouble.

Last but not least,we had got the youngest team members,age 17 only, they are David gan & Isabelle yeo, they were helping out with the children,thinking up of creative games to entertain them,it was such a great fun,i tell u.If i wasn't busy dispensing the meds,i would have been joining them, they are really hyper & full of excitement. Is really through God's grace that despite the communication barrier,the children throughly enjoyed themselves,loving every sweets & gifts presented to them!:D

Usually at day 2 & 4,we gather in a room,to discuss what things had impacted us & what are the things we can do to improve our flow of work.Also I shared that the reason I want to go through this mission trip,is truly because of this vision God had given to our Church & me..
(Matt28:19) Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit)

Sri Lanka,my day 2 experience.......=D

After serving all the medications on the 1st day of our clincs work, we were still lack of meds.So on the 2nd day after our Yummy breakfast, we headed on to the Pharmacy.U can see on the description from the guy's expression! Though it was just simple bread, butter, jam & egg...It tasted like heaven...kk, i admit we were hungry,haha! Despite all the flies(but we manage to shove em away), esp the scramble eggs with bread,the taste combination goes well. And their tea blended well, though it tend to be sweeter.

Hence we proceeded to our next destination,the village to ve our clinics set up, upon our arrival, the villagers gladly served us tea & biscuits while we make some preparation.

The turnout suprisingly were not alot, only ard 20 pple came overall. But we managed to enjoy the scenery,& chatted with some of the villagers. Also Nurse Peck manage to treat one man with the case of fracture of the finger, improvising with an ice-cream stick to help with the bones alignment! Which i thought that's rather creative of her!=D

Sri Lanka Day 1

Oops I have been rather slow in updating The day 1 event..Hmm I have to say day 1 after we departed from the Airport at Colombia,we were warmly greeted by our host, Suraiban(I hope tis is the right spelling),Pastor's son.
And so on we had a rocky 8hours journey, but but we manage to stop by a nice cosy restaurant for a nice supper...Hmm the food is quiite nice,portion is big, but thank God I manage to share my pasta with Isabel.However my advice is please dun ever order the cheese cake if u ever go Sri Lanka, will not emphasise here but still S'pore one is nicer!!After the supper we headed to Vavuniya,the place that we got to stay over in.
Upon arrival to our hotel, before we gt to rest, we have to buy medications for e pple,then head on to our next journey to set up our clinics.
Clinics consisted of 3 stations, 1st the triage,whereby pple come to tell about their problems, taking their pulse & blood pressure.
2nd the doctor station to tell them their diagnosis,& prescribed them the medications.
3rd station is my station,the nurses(me) served & explained to them the types of medications,plus when to take it.Btw in case of any communication barrier, we actually got a translator to help us translate our explanation.
At the end of the day,transition is so fast,after seeing all the patients, they immediately changed the place to a time of prayer meeting! And the most miraculous thing is we saw pple that is healed during the prayer meeting!Even the doctors are amazed,physical healing is only what the doctors & nurses can do but only God can do the Spiritual complete healing!! Wow!!!

The flight boarding to Sri Lanka

7/9/09 On the way to airport, towards my flight to Sri Lanka. Like anyone that has a common thoughts of fear...oh mine what had I gotten myself onto? Can I retreat, most of the pple were not able to send me off..awww.
But i come to a point that since i made a decision,i will stick close to it! Is not by any chance tha Pst Kenneth had approach me for the mission trip with approval from Lun, & I believe it'll be a life changing one!
To my plesant surprise, not only just my faithful friend Shi min came, my favorite cg N282,NOTIFIED last minute,all came. My heart instantly melted,who are those closer tham my family mbrs?
Tears could have well down my eyes, i am full of thanks,who am i that deserve such whole loads of love?
The wk b4,receive one whole loads of stress & discipline,yea but i shall arise stronger in the midst!
My team were of course amazed by my big group of supporters,i am the most blessed afterall.Once again thanks for all the well wishes, N282, & my cgl Zhen!

Sri Lanka day 1...to be continued...

Women of this generation

...Being a lady is seemingly hard hard hard, even after so much association with so much woman in life, my mum,cousins,my female nurses, my female leaders & friends! Female!!! Haha,in the past I was someone quite tom-boyish,growing up with my brothers, associating with all my guy friends...I don't mind if pple treat me as their brother!
Shirt & pants my kind of dressing,ya kinda nerdy in the past too!lol
Being touchy eg:like hugs,observing others being intimate seem to make my hair stand on ends.

But her affection touches me, her voice brings grace, her works for charity inspired me.
She's our Church beloved Ho Yeow Sun,Pastor's wife!:)
During my secondary school days, before I receive Christ. I was with my class doin a survey along Orchard road, on the LCD screen played a MV by Sun,"Wo men de dong tian."
Her voice was drawing.

Few months down the road I came to Christ before I knew it, Sun is actually my church's pastor too!
I was in WYZ zone then, subsequently multiplied to Yi Lun's zone. As Yi Lun was giving me BS, she shared with me ,if we were to cut open Sun's heart, we'll see China. Sun had always carried a heart for China, building homes, schools & making donation to the people in China!
Wow China,it was her action that really inspired me to reach out to the Chinese nurses during my sch days. I carried the burden for China,preaching to them abt Christ.
Now I pray even as a nurse I can do the little things, to meet the needs, heal the hurts,reaching out to China in future.

I am still in the midst of learning,looking up to the powerful woman of this generation!
Sun, Lun, Zhen, Yun:)
I ve great dreams of being a woman preacher, sharing my life experiences, empowering others with skills to enhance their rate of employment!

Of course in His light, i changed,simply dressed up a little more, smile a little more,Powerful woman also need to be lady-like.Shall be more feminine on the outside,loving in the inside.
Because afterall,beauty is in His creation=D

A Better Missy Wannabe

Feelings are subjective, emotional well-being is a decision. Greater things are yet to be done!=D
Sometimes trying hard to focus, not to be distracted with the things around. Even when problems arises, i want to face it, don't want to escape.I ve been tactful with my sharing,staying accountable in all ways to my leaders.
Many things in life,I think is impt to let go & let God, and faith is in the middle!
I need to know the first purpose God has called me to, be a great nurse & impact the community.Learning is always a continuous process.
I am learning to be a woman of stronghold,my patients always deserved my best care. So that ever someday if i were to start a family, i'll learnt how to manage it.
He wants me to focus. What about my own needs in life? He told me to seek first the kingdom of God, then all the desire of my heart shall then be added to me!
What a nice revelation;D
I shall set forth in a more in drawing closer to the experience dr, nah not tt i m interested but to suck their knowledge..haha!
Focus brings power.
In all my ways,effective communication is important in life.Personal to general, communication shall always be specifically articulated.
Hmm I somehow miss communicating in usher Hotel 3, but yet i am thankful that it builds me up!:)
My committment indeed makes me what I am in life.
Yet my leader said one thing that i feel is very true. Don't just be so effectively serving in church & yet in the market place we are nothing.Students to score well, study hard & study smart in school, don't ever let your parents think that spending too much time in church pull down your grades. Working adults, may u continue to work effectively in all places, & prosper as your soul prosper. God can use all of of us mightily in a different ways.
Also don't be everything we are in the marketplace & yet not contributing our talents n creativity in church. All of us are in a body of Christ,at least try to play a part!:)

I am telling myself:"I want to be a better nurse, a better woman, a better leader!"

YES I CAN, & YES U CAN!!

让我 City Harvest Church

Title:LET ME

Your love awakens me,
to start anew
Deeply yearning to live within Your hands,
Life beats together with You
Dreams sprouts because of You
Giving everything to You,
All of my life

Bridge:

Dreams that we have
are realizing hopes

I have seen the light of eternity
Light is in my heart
Letting out in the world,
Let me shine for You

Chorus:
Let me live life for You
Let me stand for You
never giving up like You love me
let me go on for You
You have redeemed my life
Now i wholly belong to You
Living out Your will for me
Changing the world to live for You :)





May I wake up every morning to tell Him:
"God let us change the world together, nothing in my hands, You are all that I am."
Mould me, refine me according to Your will.

I need Your knowledge & wisdom.

Not giving up no matter how tough it is, because You are never too far.

You held my hands when is cold.

Embraced me when I felt hopeless.

Right now,
Success is near
Revival & breakthrough is here,
but all Glory be to Yours!!

Making a difference in the lives of others :)

One wk ago as I was making round with the Doctors, then one of this palliative dr spoke to one of my patients. This patient of mine had a deteroriating condition,treatment for him was somehow ineffective, thus the dr was explaining to him the areas they could made to improve his conditions . As the doctor was explaining, the patient was asked to express how he feel, and tears began to streaked down his face
Nurses are somehow advice not to put too much emotions or get too close to patients, as in case depression may set in if anything were to happen to the patient...such as a sudden death.
But I somehow felt for this patient, and my eyes started to brim with tears, I had to remind myself I am still working, crying tgr wif the patient seem so unprofesssional man.And worst still if it were to bring the atmosphere more down.. haha.

To protect the confidentiality of the patients I won't be describing more, anyway the main thing I feel is like what pastor mentioned...pple need the Lord...(Rom6:23)For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
As mentioned by Zhenn, don't just focus on the 5 when the 1000 pple around us haven't been saved.
(John10:10)The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and they may have it more abundantly.
As the saying goes pple don't care how much you know until how they know how much you care..

Dear God I pray, for a greater patience, love and compassion, even my flesh may fail me but You can love through me, stretcccched me to a greater capacity.
(1Tim6:11-12) pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

Sometimes we go into a stage of self-pitiness, looking at the inadequacy we have in life, but after experiencing life & death, i feel as compared to the very sick, majority of us have been so fortunate. Is now that we stop looking to have our needs being met, start meeting the needs of those that needed more than we do:)

Everyone of us can make a difference in someone's else lives today!=D

Blessed is His Name

If u think Carrisa is a very blessed girl, it is because of His Blessed name! Let us dance dance, sing sing & clap clap.
Yes in life, setbacks do arrives but even in the midst I'll choose to PRAISE, PRAY & PRESS ON!
Is easy to praise when we are doing well & happy, but it takes sacrifices to praise even when we are at our lowest period!:)
Let the joy of the Lord be Your strength today!!=D

Want to see the talents my usher produce?

Hehe, You really really want to see?

Super duper talented & creative! Is jaw dropping, I ask one of my usher Kah keong to help me make a birthday card for Chee Keong...

And What He did exceeded my expectation!!

Tada!

Hey Kah keong thanks for the extra mile you have made! We really appreciate what you have done, go and dream great dreams!

I am now, very inspired to cultivate the people with great creativity & talents!!:)

"And it shall come to pass afterward.That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your son and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old man shall dream dreams, Your young man shall see visions"(Joel 2:28)

An Excellence Spirit

Time to update my blog le! Sometime I was wondering how come i got to work so hard everyday, hmm more than anyone else I do wish i can stay at home and rest..haha. But I think working hard is one of God's plan for all the human race, that's why you can always see all the hustle & bustle during peak hours at Raffles place.
God made Adam to work, to develop his cognitive & psychomotor skills! We are made in the image of God, He gave us the talents & creativity to use for His purpose. So therefore our workmanship must also reflect Him!
The main thing is how are we able to produce an excellent workmanship if we do not have an excellent Spirit?
One thing I learnt is to constantly to have an Excellent Spirit,is definitely not going to be easy.Prob effort hasn't been seen,so we tend to slack a little?
Discouragement that set in to tell us that we don't have to put as much effort?
But I think ultimately our purpose is to serve & shine for Him!:)Everything we do is really base on our integrity ba!
Yeah this is a little blog to encourage myself and the ppl around to work hard! I totally adore it,when Pastor preaches abt the Shulamite woman developing to a state of mature love for Christ. This is to have an excellence Spirit in all areas we are in be it work,school,in r'ship with our family, yet committed in serving God in church & ministry!!:)

My dancing beat!!

This is one of my favourite dance song, life's sparked with full of Sushine whenever i listen to this song;)

The Greatest fathers in the world!

I am very blessed with very loving fathers!

They do not have much, but they provide for me the very best they can....

He's my biological father,

always da bao food

for my bros &

I whenever we sleep late late, also

never had he once raised his temper on us

whenever we are full of mischief...hee!

He's my uncle yet like a father to me, he has been looking after me since i was young, always call him my Papa! Someone who is rather strict but all because he's concern towards me.

If not because of them, i would not be what i am today, provided with great education & good health! Though they may each show their love in a different ways, yet they always meant well.

I want to wish them Happy father's day in advance!!

Hey ppl dun forget to invite all your fathers for the upcoming Father's day svc, i am aiming to, & praying to.

Dear Abba father, let this be the day that my dearest fathers will know You as our heavenly father=)

Deeper in love with my One & Only....

Deeper in love not with any guys,as in not yet la...haha!
But loving Jesus more than anything else.
Hmm i guess this few wks had been quite a tough wk,went through a lot of ups & downs, sometime felt inadequate,powerless...but when I am weak,He's strong!
Probably is through this trial that i maybe a greater blessing to the people around! One great way to stop yourself from being so called 'emo',is truly by accounting or sharing with your leader, mentor or your close friends,release your hurts & burden rather than supressing all emotions...not very healthy wo.
Of course God won't let what you have gone through be put it to waste, I have this powerful revelation, But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection,lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified(1Cor9:27)!
Ppl out there,you must know that you are not alone, even sometime we might think no one can understand our situation, but God knows, he knows of every strand of hair that's on us, he knows our thought & emotion.
Joyce Meyer ever once mentioned:"God is not impressed with what we say we will do;He is impressed with what we prove we will do under pressure."

Also 1Cor:27 is not jus a verse,the Bible is not just verses,it is verses that come to live only until we really have experience through the meaning of the verses.

To my One & Only,May You increase in my life & let me decrease..take me deeper in my love for You! ;)

My mighty army!!

This Sat is the last weekend,2 of my precious darling,Kai ling & Li zhi will be in jw, leaving over to expo le..their I C here is like so sad lor...haha! Anyway my team in usher had really been a tremendous blessing to me. I believe everyone has different leadership style, but i would always desire to be a leader that maximse the potential of her followers, equipping & empowering them!

I have this values of serving,it is to serve out of LOVE, to serve because we love God, to serve because we love people!!I am not someone so great, but where i am today is definitely of those leaders and ppl who have always believed in me!!

Right here i am thankful to Yi lun, Zhen Ying, Wan yun & there are a lot more though..but these ppl are truly my inspiration, giving me great guidance,always loving and keeping all of us in prayers!

I myself am really happy,even as i see the ppl around me growing,stepping out of faith, but i am sure we are not going to stop here...we want to be continuously used by God in a mighty way!! Even the youths shall faint,but those who wait upon You,they will mount up with wings like eagle, they shall run and not be weary,walk and not faint!(Is40:31)

Last but not least, I am very thankful to awesome G12S2A that has made a difference in my life, really love you all loads!!=D

The world of today...Yet can we be STILL?

There's still more to blog about though....i just happen to stumble over this awesome video,i was like wow!Is so totally like the society we are living in today leh...Our society hasn't been a perfect one. We met disaster like Tsunami, faces a great recession period, health is at a risk of H1N1 influenza...

Had all the threats causes the fear in the hearts of the ppl? Hectic rush for the flu jab,snatching up of all the masks-surgical, N95, Drager, etc. Increased precautions over all public areas.I recently attended one of my hospital Townhall talk, the unfortunate thing is our neighbouring country, M'sia has one of confirm case of H1N1 influenza so is majority of the Asia country. Therefore there might be a high possibility that S'pore will be affected.

However in the back of my mind, God showed me this verse,"No weapon formed against you shall prosper."(Isa54:17)

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God,which surpasses all understanding,will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Phil4:6-7)

Rather than saying that I want to have faith that S'pore will not be an affected country,I would feel is better to say to pray for the health of the ppl around, the health of the nations. It is always an utmost importance to be responsible for your own health,eg:cover a mask when you are sick,wash your hands before & after meal, do a daily check of your temp if you have been travelling to one of the influenza affected country.This doesn't just protect others but to protect ourselves too!

I am sure that as all the S'poreans do their best in taking care of their health, God will do the rest in blessing our country:)

Even if i search all the world......

Randomly found this on you tube...nice melody.I can literally visualise myself singing as well as him..haha,just kidding!Aww man,I do have a nice voice,though didn't get a chance to go through proper training, one thing i am sure my love song for Lord Abba is from my heartfelt sincerity...

When no one is around,I just want to dwell in Your presence,dance around Your throne,adoring You. May Your face shine ever more......

Mama Mia my my how can i resist You

I m totally in love with ABBA song,Mama mia movie i feel like catching another time.... cannot resist His presence again...

Been spending some quiet time of my own yest night,the amazing thing was the presence was really strong. Prayer is an ART that need constant practice, been a Christian like 4-5 yrs, i m still mastering it. Just feel a burden for my team lately, ppl somehow can get lost focus, therefore we constantly need our Shepherd, Lord Jesus to guide us.

Above all these,one thing i am very touch & thankful about,my faithful helpers CK & Li Zhi, been helping me run the errands,coordinate the team...and making intercession. After most of the time in work,they have been praying for me!!=)

I really apppreciate and felt very encouraged, i would want to go all way out for this team, also thankful to great leader like Wan Yun,always being so understanding.

Now praying & fasting for a miracle,that everyone in the team will experience breakthrough in their individual life.

Jia you ppl!!=D

Faith is in the race!!

Today comes to a period of time to visualise again where God wants to lead me to... Zhen recently raise this idea of going for a mission this sep...sounds good to me. After the last mission in KL Emerge,and awesome meeting with Pastor Kong,i have this tug to go along the idea of another this upcoming mission!:D
Another opportunity to use our gifts & talents to serve the people around,wouldn't it be more awesome if i can ever use my nursing skills to give vaccination, do dressing for the wounded pple, administering medications to the sick. Yeah I thought of idea that i can lead a group of my fellow nurses to the third world country, hopefully with the help of CHCSA team too.
But now i need to guai guai to serve the hospital first more equipped in my skills before i can get geared up.So fast, I am almost reaching one year of my bond this Sep as well. I believe greater works are yet to be done because He has shown me this verse,"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man, The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."(1COR 2:9)
Thank God the nurses around has always been so helpful,always so willing to guide me, though sometime things may get mundane with challenges arsing, but I feel there's a constant stir to do what He had first called me to do."Therefore we also,since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,let us lay aside ever weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us."(Heb12:1)

I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus!(Phil3:14)

In the midst of the challenges, I am not afraid,because I know I shall arise stronger. That are many commitments in life shouting for your attention, but the main thing is to learn to prioritise..something which I am still learning.

Sometime sacrifices has to be made, I believe we need to undergo the fire of shaping & moulding, that we may be adorned as a beautiful bride waiting for the return of our Lamb...His name is Lord Jesus.(Rev21:9)

****Healing patches ****

No no I am not hallucinating, i have this aim in life is to benefit mankind, i make an awesome discovery to release the pain of the terminally ill patients(not totally 100%). I didn't really invent it but I learnt in the midst of working.
This patch seems amazing....it somehow helps to have a comfort care for those having palliative care. It somehow sets me thinking if i can use this patch to heal the wound of the brokenhearted, i would really love to do that;)

A little amazing facts that i would like to share...

Dreams are not thoughts,it is meant to be chased....

Dear readers,sorry post may come in a bit later due to the increase of workload, but may you have a fruitful & enjoyable reading!

I have got a dream,a song to sing............2005 April 10th,i stepped into the compound of JW St 91 CHC,invited by dearest bro Jackson, coming before God with nothing to lose but everything to gain...I came to receive Jesus Christ as the Lord & Saviour,the rest is history...


From hopelessness to be a person filled with hope & vision,I dreamt of becoming a nurse...to impact the community!! Someone that can make a difference in the life of others,cos i feel tt every lives matter. Of course from a student nurse to start out as a professional hasn't been a easy one..but i am thankful to my church friends,from Poly, Cg to ministries,there won't be enough space if i were to list down the names of the people who r always there for me!! In the area of nursing,i feel there's always a standard of discipline that all nurses have to follow, which i find it a challenge!Scoldings is indeed one of the most common thing that I have to face...at times I feel like escaping, running away & i do get physically tired.


However in the Bible it always encourages me,that He who's in me is greater than he who's in the world.His grace is more than sufficient.I can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me!Full of passion,i am praying that one day i can build a Hospital,or an old age home, this is to meet the needs of the people, who's sick and getting old.

Haha I am still very glad that no one that I have shared my dreams with ever look down on it, though i feel it might be a very difficult task to accomplish.Yeah but again,there's assurance from a still small voice that all things work together for the good to those who love Him! In fact quite please that a few good friends would still be willing to collaborate with me if One day I am really going to establish the dream Hospital..haha! It might take 8yrs,10yrs or 20yrs?Let it be done according to His will=)







Oh ya in the midst of being a professional,hard at work,I am still a person that love God,serve a lot, dream a lot..haha.Recently met up with 'Ou xiang', Elim Chew,boss of 77th street!She's indeed an inspiration to the Youths,just love her man! Woohoo! She just told me that our Church is a very good grounding place for the people,whereby teaching are very in depth & personal. I really go to reflect on it & i feel is very true that no place can compare to my beloved City Harvest Church(sorry if i am a bit bias)! But for those who have yet to experience a place of personal relationship with God & true friendship to be built with people..can try attend some of our services on Sat & Sun,either Expo or Jurong West,do let me know if any of you are interested. And I holding on to my dreams, i do really wish that i can be as successful as Elim Chew someday=)
With God,all things can be possible!!

Are You D-pressed? Be a V-pressed today!!

Are you Depress? This is an Emotions that not just a lot woman faces through,it applies even to male & female, youngest to the oldest.
In fact statistic has shown that there's an increase rate of depression.For example in the recent Newspaper there's an article on S'pore being the least affected in the recession period, yet the most pessimistic! As I was sharing with some people of this amazing talk held in my hospital, held by this very well known psychiatric Dr Ang.

He uses examples of an increasing in youth suicide, such as the recent case of NTU student suicide.It was after much investigation, it was found out because of this virtual reality he was in that causes severe depression.Yes supposingly a very outstanding student, on a scholarship which allows him for a further studies in NTU. However because his computer games addiction, hence his result began to deteriorate. Thus ignoring the few warning letters, regarding the cancellation of his scholarship, this NTU student continue to be heavily addicted to his computer games(virtual reality)! Finally upon getting the last letter of cancellation of the scholarship, he tried to consult his professor but to no avail. Then resorting to violence, he attacked his professor follow by taking his own life!

Another story of an A star student, went to jump off from a HDB flat after his gf left him for his best friend...some of us might think how silly is that,i don't deny i feel this way too! Why seek a permanent solution for a temporary problem!

Also a case of an smrt engineer,whom has recently be transferred out of his department to the other, thereafter he was not used to the transition,therefore he requested for a transfer back to the old department.But unfortunately his request was rejected. A man facing the responsibilities in the household,and acute stress in the workplace,he was hence confirmed by the psychiatrist that he was down with depression.Story don't just stop here... Having hope that the medical certificate of depression will bring him back to the old department,he requested a 2nd time. However instead of a permission granted,with understanding, it was felt that this engineer is no longer fit to work in the company.He's one of this person that committed suicide at one of the MRT track.so sad right.. The thing is we must always be tactful in our word, Never say NO to a person with a sign of depression, let me make it clear depress person ar.

In conclusion, these people are simply D-pressed(Depressed), psychiatric Dr Ang quoted that our Intelligence does not determine our Emotional well being!Yes although there's an advance in medical treatment such as Prozac, Anti-Depressant.There's this 4 Basis Human needs to look into:

1. Physical needs-The need for air,food & water
2. Intellectual needs- Humans have a need for a certain level of knowledge and understanding in terms of factual data and cognitive skill development
3. Emotional needs- I feel this is a subjective feelings,it varies in different people
4. Spiritual needs- For my point of view,we required a sense of connections,something bigger than ourselves.Why not join a community,like church!:)

And for me,I think prayers is a vital needs.Ever shared by Yi lun before too,that in Times magazine, a research has shown that the MRI brain of a person whom has prayed,there's a release of chemical substance which sooths your nerves.It also brings you to a clearer perspective! Pray towards your vision....Be a Vision pressed!!

Are you washing you hands??!!

Recently there's tis on going infection campaign held in my hospital.Above is an emphasis to show the importance of handwashing! Yeah most of the time,we do not know how much bacteria we are carrying on our hands,even as some of us may not be staying in a place where risks of infection are low.However, i feel people should come to another level of personal hygiene!!

Example like how we have been taught to wash our hands before & after meal in our primary school. It somehow cultivated me to develop such habits. Some that know me well will know my practice,of washing or swabbing my hands before every meal.Haha but i am not ashame of it,whenever it comes to personal hygiene,i am quite particular towards it,not just because i am a nurse & it become part of the habit, it's because i do not want to consume the food together with the germs!!!Yew!

Yeah,now in the work place i have got to proceed to 7 steps of handwashing, oh man never taught there's so much steps for a handwashing right? But i tell you, other than the strong chlorhexidine soap which makes the hand dry,is fun washing! You feel more confident of the cleanliness,you can prevent breakouts as often, prevent stomach upset,cos some of the time food poisoning is not just to do with the food itself,but our hands as well!!=)

飛輪海 ~ 越來越愛 MV

I am not exactly a super fan of "Fei lun hai,"but i so much happen to find this on YouTube and i do love the way it rocks!
You may not know who's the special guest for the upcoming Emerge!;)So sit back,relax & enjoy!

How to solve a Chemistry problem??!!

I ever remembered when I was in secondary school,i love science,so proud to be an A student!Physics are fun with full of equations eg:E=MC2, but i prefer chemistry eg: 2H+O=H20.I especially enjoy myself in chemical experiment!I'd dreamt to be a scientist one day..haha!Nevertheless i proceed to study nursing,other than clinical studies,i studied..Biology!! Bones, skull,hormones & a woman's menstral cycle.Whoa is deep,deep,deep,full of theory!
When it come to human chemistry,it somehow seem to be a different thing, not just a knowledge of physics,chemistry & bio can ever explain...haha.
Is just amazing how creative God is in creating us to be a person of emotions!But when it somehow comes into another phase of life..like dating.Pastor was like saying usually woman that doesn't date will somehow be emotionally shut down.Oh mine! I am asking myself,have I deprived myself of anything?
Hmm fellowship i enjoy and i am good at...but dating?From the time of student, been studying hard.In church, faithfully serving the Lord,wanting to rise up and now been working hard in workplace.When it comes to dating,how do i go about it without this thing call chemistry? Let's say it also comes with the composition of FAITH,HOPE & LOVE!!
First of all you need FAITH to go out with the person,and HOPE in that direction you are heading to..Greatest of all you need to LOVE(loving as a friend)!!
However do not forget to account to your leaders,whatever matters to you,matters to them.
And I do believe in all things to seek first the kingdom of God!

Of course i don't go around being a person searching for love the wrong place,the world may ask why not?Cos is impt tt my security naturally comes from God,meeting the needs of the hurtings is the calling He has given..
When human relationship seem complex?
God is my chemistry teacher,He taught me the art to build a good relationship regardless of race,language & religion with the sick & the needy.

In the Chemistry problem i have learnt to love because God,He first loved!!=)

The Climb

Previously posted this in the facebook,I felt the lyrics carried an important message...come on,is time to Engage culture!=)


I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what?s waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

Groovy Time

A little unserious side of me,sometime a good way to de-stress.I love the way it punks,it rocks,absolutely cool!

Enjoy the video:)
Then it would be time to gear up,ready for the battle as a solider of Christ!!

The little things doesn't mean nothing

After a hard day work in hospital, i feel like pausing a while,thank God tomorrow will be a rest day;) Don't ever think i have been missing in action,in fact i have a more important task to fulfill! I am going to save the world!Haha,i am just kidding:p I am not like Daddy Jesus,but trying to be more & more like him everyday! In fact i felt that there's a growth coming along,so many of a time we might lie back in our comfort zone, staying in house waiting for our family to spoon feed us. But it might be a good thing to start your career young,learning to be independent..

Things I have learnt:

1)I have learnt to be more respectful towards the senior more,sometime whether you like or dislike you still got to honor them!(anyway i still love them all the same;)

2)I have learnt to be more discerning towards the needs of the ppl,like my patients

3)I have learnt to be more dependent on God,simply by being more prayerful!

4)I have learnt to be sharper, i always got to tell myself i am handling lives! I can't afford to make any medications error

5)I have learnt of a more effective communication with the nurses & allied health around

6)Hmm i also learnt to be more organised,prioritising & allocating the workloads

7)Last but not least,I've learnt that life is fragile,I'll just want to love a little more & cherish the ppl arond a little more

Despite the packed scheldule,the little things like a simple message of encouragement from friends.The little things of a simple truth people tell you about yourself,to have a better self-improvement. The little things of my dearest uncle cooking up a plate of oats meal,when there's difficulty in eating with the braces on. The little things...many times we have taken it for granted...but now i have learnt to appreciate more;)

Oh Whatever.......

Oh what had become of Carrisa,that suddenly has this kinda heck care attitude?!! Haha,no worries! In fact I had this awesome revelation, it has been a tough week, work loads & commitment had been piling up.As work has been a great challenge,at the end of the day filled with so much thoughts,analysing the process what could have done for a greater improvement, and sorting out the mistakes. Although feeling a bit discourage, God showed me this verse (Phil4:8)Finally, brethen, whatever things are true, whatever things are nobel,whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy- meditate on these things.

Yeah from now on I am gonna be a 'Miss Whatever'!Of course not a whatever heck care attitude but meditate on Whatever things that are positive!!:) Although i may gone through a lot of ups & downs, I kept meditating this quote from Pst Phil:"Our journey into greater measures of the anointing always involves greater development of our character. As our character is built,this increase our ability to carry the touch of God.The anointing brings with it many pressures.Our emotional, moral,mental,relational and physical capacity must be strong!" (For more info,you can read Moving in the Spirit by Phil Pingle)

In conclusion,the things that happen around us will eventually affect our thoughts, but we must always come to a point that God is working in the midst of our circumstances for a greater character moulding, and to use us in a mightier way!=)

Learning about being Patient

Today read an awesome article in e-mail,send from one of my patient.It goes:

BE PATIENT
This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck.. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital. Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bonesshed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, "Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?" The father went home & committed suicide. Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired.. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge. People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.

"Good Life starts only when you stop wanting a better One"

Spirit to rule over emotions

I remember when i was a younger christian,a lot of things i had been so unsure.Example BGR, i always think how come the people around me seem to take relationship casually-like getting attach and then break up so easily.Is love not real?
However I thank God i have great spiritual leader who always guides me.I asked her so is it ok to just get into a relationship so easily,since the people around me also got bf or gf? She taught me that though we are in this world but not of this world,and our body is a temple of God, so do not do anything that upset the Holy Spirit in us.
Of course true love still does exist, but just make sure that we do always stay accountable to our leaders,they know what is best for us.Also Joshua Harris once mentioned that our parents are also the best judgement for our partner in life!
Sometime our feelings and emotions may seem to overwhelm us when we liked a person, but i believe to walk in the spirit,God doesn't provide us a partner but he can direct and lead us. He has a purpose for the singles,for us to build up responsibility by serving Him. That we may also hold the responsibility to build a family,bring up our child. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths(prov3:6).
I felt is important to have someone that is able to lead in the relationship,loving,committed, caring and loving God wholeheartedly,someone whom i can relate to and praying together in all circumstances.

Happy 21st to Evangeline! (25th jan)

My Sustainability

Some people viewed me as a strong,spiritual,joyful person.Yet there are times i felt helpless,weak, and depressed.If not for my leader Zhen that ever told us that we don't have to appear so strong on the outside,i could have bottled up all the feelings and hurts le.Sometime you know is ok to cry whenever we feel down?Yeah my kind of habit to just mumble and tell God whatever i feel unfair in lives,how i spoke to Him whenever I felt mistreated by the ward staffs:P

Sometime is true that the criticism of people can just make you so miserable, felt inadequate and unloved!But God always tell me:

• Fear not for I am with you,do not be afraid for i am your God.
• I did not give you a Spirit of fear But of Power, of Love, of sound mind.
• With Me You can run against the troop,leap over the wall.
• I that is in you is greater than he who is in this world
• When You are weak,I am strong
• Be of good cheer,for I had overcame the world
• I have given you authority to trample over all serpents and scorpions
• Look on to Jesus,the author and finisher of your faith
• You can do all things through Christ who strenghtens you
• The Joy of the Lord is your strength
• No weapons formed against you shall prosper

and many more promises that He had given!I am thankful to the Holy Spirit who is my comforter,my counsellor,my advocate,and my friend.

Zhenn also once shared whenever you are at you lowest and darkest period,this is where your breakthrough will come!So people out there DON'T EVER GIVE UP ON HOPE! You never know your breakthrough might be just near ya!=)
