Dear Jesus,
One big lesson that I know you are wanting me to learn in the new year is to trust in You fully, especially in the area of my love life. People changes so fast. Only You Lord never changes. Your promises are yes & amen. Help me to be patient to wait for the best partner that You have prepared for me. I pray for Your anointing, peace & joy and abundant love to fill my heart this day. Help me trust in You. Knowing that You are my good Father from Heaven!
Thank you Lord for the chance to act in the Chinese Christmas drama! It's a breakthrough for me & I know that I can do all things through Christ who strengthened me. Thank you Lord & I believe that you have greater things installed for me in the coming years! Help me serve with Your passion & anointing. Thank you Jesus!
In Jesus most precious name I pray, amen!

Miracles!
Im in awe with what God has done for me again!
Yup, my manager told me that he is sooooo in awe too
of how God answer my prayers.....
this time round, I didnt really pray for MDC, and I am
at ease with God... having peace of mind and joy that comes
from the Lord.... God amazes me again but letting AIA extend
to Dec for us to hit our targets! Mind you, my boss told me that
never ever in history for the her past 30 years in AIA that this
has happened before. Not the 97 Asian Crisis.... not during
any downturn...God is good ah....
God really specialises in miracles....
During my last 4 & a half years in AIA, God has mould my faith
in the financial arena to trust in him fully, letting go &
letting Him be in control.
I must say, my faith really grew as He reveals each miracle in my life.....
Now left only one area of my faith to be mould....
a big one.....
to trust in Him for providing the best partner/ soulmate for me...
This one area, I must confess, I need lots & lots of faith....
I admit that I dont fall in love easily....
I miss quite alot of good boats along the way.....
Remember that how I cried out to God that I have missed a good boat
like 5 years ago, God just look at me & says, "My daughter, you have not missed it,
I will bring for you another sunrise tomorrow! My faithfulness is the same & it reaches
to the skies..."
I will not miss it.... because God knows what is best....
When I am in green of seeing so so many people getting married in my church
recently, I know God is comforting me.... that He will bring the right one,
the best one when the time is right.
Yup, I need to trust in God fully, trusting in Him that He is my good Father
and He will never let me down....
Till then, God, be my comfort when I am down
Be my strength when I am weak...
Be my companion when I am bored & alone.....
Be my beary hug when I needed one.....
Be here for me as I know You will always be.....
Thank you Jesus & I love you.

Planning and planning 2010
Just felt that this week is a good week for reflection. I have always rush and try to finish things on time. Just like for my reflection, I set to set today aside for reflection but ended up not really planning well and rush off to do my work. I need to learn to take things slower. Relax.
Reflection:
I have been eating instant noodles, cooking sometimes, having canned food for my lunch for the past 4 years plus during my career life in AIA. This is because I always have night appointments and ended up going home late at home at around 10 or 11pm sometimes. This in turn causes me to turn in late at 1am or 2am and wake up late the next morning at 10am or 11am to justified my sleep of at least 8 hours. Unless I have appointments in the morning/afternoon, I will be able to wake up early, have lunch with my clients and be very happy with myself with accomplising much during the day. Been thinking and thinking, do I really have to be like this? For the next 1 year? For the next 2 years? or 10 years? Of cos I enjoy my freedom of waking up at whatever time I like, something that is almost a luxury for most working adults or even students. But, this could mean lesser time for my family and friends.
Action to take:
I am actually thinking of relief teach in the morning. How's that? marvelous if I could! I love to teach and I love children! If I can spend my morning 7am to 1pm teaching students at a nearby Primary School at certain days of the weeks. It will be great! Action to take, to visit Woodgrove Primary School to apply for relief teaching again! Been there 10 years ago to teach Primary 2 kids and I love them so much. Beside this, I could try to ask for more morning and afternoon appointments. Have lunch with all my existing clients. One at a time. In a year, I will have catch up with all my clients at least once for lunch in a year. Great for building relationships!
Reflection:
Been late for almost all my life. Late for school is a norm for me, whether in my Secondary School, JC life or University days.... and I have been quite proud of it... 'cos my discipline master actually pleads me to come early and not giving me punishments because he quite likes me I think. I didnt know that being late can has tremendous impact in my life but now I realised. It really does. My agency has labelled me as someone who is always late. One of my ex bf has literally left me because he cant stand me for being always late, some of my prospects have literally ban me because I was late. My spiritual baby now has been telling me that she hates people who are late. Being late does not only impact my life, Shirley. While I can think and say that it's my life. I live however I want. But it's not. When I am late, I have wasted people's life waiting for me, because time = life.
Action to take:
I resolve to be early for all my appointments. I resolve to set the reputation of a girl who doesnt waste people's life by being late. I need to resolve in my heart that this is important. It impacts not only my life but the life of people around me. I have to take every appointments time as extremely important. Every meeting time is extremely important. Help me Lord as I repent and Holy Spirit set such an awakening in my heart. You are the one who can change me. Thank you Lord.
Okay, time to plan for my life again.
Reflections:
one of my friends ask me if I would like to join him to Cambodia for mission, to help the poor lately. As i read through the website by Operation Hope Singapore, suddenly I was thinking. The only way that I could leave a legacy for my people, for the next generation is to do something, start a ministry, something that will impact the people of some people in the world. And this must come from the vision from the Lord. Only with Him, can our plans succeed. This mission and vision must come from God Himself for He knows best. I need a mentor. Mother Teresa will be one of my mentor as I study into her life of serving in love.
I always heard the Lord says to me, "SHirley, you are going to do something great and mighty for me!" My life is not wasted and I will serve my lord. With men, it is impossible. But with God, all things are possible.
Prayers:
Dear Heavenly Father, You knitted me in my mother's womb. You know me since I was young. You have great plans for me, this I know. You have given me talents and gold that I have not fully discovered. You have placed in me a compassion for souls and people. You have given me love that I can love others. Dear Lord, when people see and think that it is impossible. Who am I? The timid, shy and low confident Shirley. What can she do for the Lord. But I know Jesus, my delieverer, my Savior, my Hope and my Strength. He is going to use what the world consider foolish to shame the one who think he is wise. Lord, you have given me a desire to serve You. You have bless me beyond what I can imagine. My life is in Your hands. You will use it all for the glory of Your name. Jesus, the Name above all Names. I am going to take thing one step at a time. Listening to You to guide me in every steps. Help me stay close to You. Satan, get lost in the Name of Jesus! you have no place and no right in my life. Get lost get lost and Get LOST! In the name of Jesus! What you have meant for evil, God has meant it and can turn it around for Good! I serve a mighty God! Thank You Jesus!

Today is 22 Oct 2009
Yup, into the 22nd day of October. Stayed at home the whole day today except going out to the nearby Vista Point for my lunch and fav. almond tea. Had some time set aside in the lazy afternoon to read a book. Chosen "Boy meets girl" which I hasnt touched for some time. Was inspired again to trust in the Lord and wait for the perfect one for me. As I reflected, did some washing of clothes today, I believed that I have grown more maturely in my behavior and thinking towards relationships. I have grown to be more womanly and is learning to take care of my future family, doing the laundry, cooking meals, tidying with house and growing in my inner beauty. Something which I seriously lack in the past, always waiting to be served by my partner, being pampered too much. I thank God that after all the "shattered dreams", I have grown. More beautifully I believe. One part of the book wrote, " In scripture, Peter tells Christian women that their beauty should be that of the inner selves - "the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight" This is one verse that I hold dear to my heart now. I really yeans to grow in the beauty of my inner self and I know this can only be the work of the Holy Spirit. I dream of my future family, my godly husband and together we raise up godly children. How beautiful! How amazing, and to me now, it takes more than a miracle. But Lord, help me remember in your promises and visions that I will be married one day in a beautiful white church. Amen!

Planning for the new year
Today is Wednesday. Time to do some serious planning and reflection for next year. I have just ordered some diaries and calenders 2010 for my clients. It's that time of the year that I got really busy with planning for Christmas, writing cards, delivering diaries, drawing and making cookies again! Yup, though I still have a month plus to finish up my production for 2009. Yes Lord, I shall not worry at all. I shall trust in You to deliver me. You specialised in miracles. Yes, it will be a miracle if I can achieve MDC for this year. I have almost $10k to go for this 1 month plus. But even my boss believe in my God, that if I pray and believe, it will come to pass. =)
He told me there he always see miracles in my life and I praise God for all the miracles that You have given me. My boss even promised me a trip to USA Seattle for me to see my fav. killer whales! My childhood dream if I can achieve MDC. Because it really will be a miracle if I can do it! Lord, I commit this plan into your hands and pray that you guide me through and grant me wisdom of knowing who do I call and look for. Thank you!
Beside work, i need to plan on how to grow in the Lord. Recently, my colleagues been asking me to go for Bible Study Fellowship class and I think what a great idea. There I can grow in the words of God and meet new friends. Been stagnant for some times. Looking for ways to enlarge my social circle and guess having more Christian friends is the way to go. SDU and stuffs..... though my pastor has encouraged me to go for SDU to meet new people but hey, dont know... still lack of guts to go now.
Next, will be my physical health. Tried gym and like it. Tried running and like it. But after not doing it for some times, I find myself back to the "lazy" mode. slacking and easily fatigued. Need to get back on track. Need to get into shape and feel good and healthy. Need to take care of my body because it is th etemple of the Holy spirit. Need to change my diet and no more magi mee always for lunch. Need to change my lifestyle and exercise 3 times a week. =)
There are so much things for me to do yet I have been wasting time thinking about the past. It a new year soon and a new life for me. Shirley, jia you!

Dear God,
Time passes quickly. It is already coming to the end of the year.

Fourthly, went to Precious Moment's event and took some nice pictures with them!
Fifth, breakthrough in my work again as God begin to bring people to buy insurance
from me... I mean people really called me and said they wanna buy insurance.
One brother from church said he wanna buy insurance, my step mom refer her friend
to me and I closed her in 10 min, one friend called and said she going for medical check up
soon and wanna buy insurance before that, another realised the impt of insurance after seeing
all the "disasters" in the world, wow..... this is the grace of God! Definitely! =)
Today's message is on making decisons based on kingdom's sake.
Im amazed by God's miracles again! You are asking me to put my trust in You
for You never fails. People can fail, people can change but You are there for me. Always.
You are my only Hope. I will trust in You. Thank you Jesus.
I love You,
Shirley

Breakthrough!!!! Finally! God is good!!!
Never give up! Never quit!!!!
I persevere on.... Haven't close any life cases since the beginning of May till now.... been 2 months plus... and I'm thinking of quitting..... don't blame me pls... I only think, I know I won't action =) 'cos the disappointment is real.... I have work hard but the fruits are not coming in... But throughout these 2 long months... I have not doubt God's providence and love for me! so I continue to press in and even as I shared with my cell on last Thursday!
Delight in the Lord and He will grant you the desires of your heart! Delight means to really enjoy God's presence.... be very happy just being with Him! =)
I had a date with God on Wed! Went out and take the Mrt so that I can journal down my date with God on my way to Orchard. Had a great time with God and I sense Him all around... amazingly, my troubles seem small and insignificant when I rest in Him.
I remember I prayed really sincerely one of the days this week, "God, pls help me to close a life case soon....." and I had a breakthrough on Sat! I closed 1 life case in the morning! I couldnt believe it! I mean, the client take up a plan with a monthly budget higher than what I have planned for him! Then I closed another 2 life and 4 Accident & Health cases in my 2nd appointment in the afternoon! =) What a breakthrough!
And today, I went to my 3rd appointment of this weekend and I closed another 1 life, 1 shield and 2 A&H plans. Total = 11 cases! Wow! Praise God for this breakthrough! It is all by God's grace that I managed to close all these cases! My prospect came in with a mindset that says "he won't buy any insurance from me." I know it because the first word he says is he thinks that economy is so bad, nobody is buying insurance now, he won't want to commit to anything too.
But I am determined before I see him to make sure he is protected with insurance as he doesnt have any insurance at all and he is the breadwinner of the house with 2 kids! And I did with God's favor and help! =)
Gotten my Shape Run's race pack today too! Haaaa...... gonna train well.... i only have one week left! I will do it! =)

But I am determined before I see him to make sure he is protected with insurance as he doesnt have any insurance at all and he is the breadwinner of the house with 2 kids! And I did with God's favor and help! =)
Gotten my Shape Run's race pack today too! Haaaa...... gonna train well.... i only have one week left! I will do it! =)

It's July! Shirley press on!!!
Yup, I havent been blogging for a long time! That's bad. This means that I haven't had an inspiration or been doing my reflection for a long time.
The fact is, I am not in the mood of blogging. I think i have been through quite a stressful and teary May and June 2009.
Firstly, after getting the car, I lost a surposing "can be good friend" who inspires me to be better in life. That is sad. I went through a period of having to deal with the loss and in my loneliness, memories of Brandon keep coming back to huant me. I went through photos that we have taken... hundreds and hundreds of them.. and i couldnt believe that I have really lose him in my life. I haven't had the mood to take any pictures now... but im trying again. Those emails and memories... 3 years of going through sweet and trying moments with him... I didnt give up at all... but he did. He gave me up long ago.
Period of grieve, almost every week that I will break down and cry. It has been a year since he left and I am still grieving.
Shirley, move on! I know you can do it! You can do all things through Christ who strengthen me! Yeah.... Im doing well.... im getting better each day...
Secondly, after getting my car... i get stress with closing deals... as a results, I haven't break through to closing any life cases for the past 2 months! That is bad! Imagine with me, no sales for 2 months and Im getting stressed.
Time flies and July is here and 3 days have passed.
Im going to live my life. Im going to be better. Im going to start writing again, start taking photos again, start working hard and achieving my goals again, Im going to share God's love with people again, Im going to travel again, Im going to serve God's purpose in my life again!
Thank God for the chance to share Christ with Kelvin yesterday and lead him through the sinner's prayers. Yup, praise the Lord!
I feel most satisfied and fulfilled when I led people to Christ! Amen! =)
The whole heaven and angels rejoice!

17 April 2009
wow, I haven't been blogging for a long time! Many things have happened for this past 1 month. In all, I have grow to love God more. And this is good! =)
Know some good friends, friend who will be there to encourage you every times and inspire you to be better in life. Isn't it great? =)
Went to Good news Singapore and hear Planetshakers live! That was really great! Looking forward to Stream of Praises coming in Aug. Looking forward to clearing all my exams in August! wow, really have to study every month and it's ...... tough... =( one exam every month! This will really keep me busy!
Im working harder too in my work and I wanna make this year my best year ever! =) I have chosen to honor God in all that I do and He has shown me that to do well in my business, Im honoring Him and bringing glory to Him! Amen! SO Shirley, no excuse.... you will have to work harder and nonor Him! Amen!
I have been praying for nearly 1 year on buying a car... the moment I saw Chervolet Spark. I know it's for me! It's small, it's cute it's logo is in the shape of a cross! and it's motto is "Full of life"! Wow, Spark is for me! So ever since I saw Spark last May 08, i set my heart on it. Many people came and discourage me from buying... but I'm not waver... im hearing God! =)
Last December, when I finally gotten my driving license and the COE went down to $2! I set my heart to buy a car and I asked God if I can.
God said No. Not a good time. I can buy, but I will be stressed.
Thank God I didnt! =) 'cos I figured out that I will really be very stressed, with not many cases/sales coming in in the months of Dec, Jan and Feb! Think I will be super stressed to have to support a car!
As time passes, the nature of my job really make me aching all over.... carrying 3kg++ of my bag and laptop around, walking here and there.... I build muscles in my wrist and legs. I have endured for 4 years in this business.... through it all.... one day, I prayed again.... "God, if you are willing, pls help me buy a car this year."
Wasn't thinking about this... then suddenly, I felt an urge to go to the car show room and researching into cars again. Then I met a sales manager and she told me that she has been using Spark for the past 3 years and everything was good. Economical and nice! Wow.... alright... I went to the car showroom and test drive Spark... The price has fell from $39k to $35k to $31k since the last time I saw it. So I will be getting this car at $31k! ($32,499 if I want leather seats, sports rim, solar flims, and reverse sensor.) wow, thank God for helping me save!
Anyway, I prayed and went back to office on Mon. As usual, my colleagues came and persuaded me to get a second hand car or buy a bigger better car. Until the point, I said to myself, "okay okay, i will not buy a Spark! I will wait and see."
After saying this, there is no peace in my heart. wow, I was surprised. Then I check again, "okay God, you want me to buy a Spark now?"
"Yes, else the price will go up again. This is the lowest price you can ever get."
Okay!!!! There you go! I will get my Spark!
To be in time for the COE bidding, I need to decide by wed. COE will increase because govt going to cut the supply of COE by 20%.
I went into the showroom in peace and God just honor me to get a car!
I went in wanting to pay just $32k for this car so I prayed.
$32,499 is the lowest I can get. Usual $33k.
But i know Im God's precious and He will bless.
................... yup, i managed to get another $500 off! And the final price $31,999! Ha.... my boss is amazed! But my God is good!
Thank you Jesus! I didn't know how I will be going to support my car! But I know God will provide for me! Yippeee.....
Shirley, live by faith and not by Sight!
Shirley, honor God and He will honor you! =)
Praise the Lord! =)
P/s: I just checked the price.... its back to $35,088! wow... =)

The curious case of benjamin Button
Nice show... nice love story... nice pictures.... nice everything....
I like it.... watching shows make me happy... I should have watch movies more
often... today I felt bored again... so I asked my brother out to have dinner and watch movie with me... I really wonder why I dont seem to have people asking me out.... no dates, nothing.... haaa .....i yearn for my hp to ring or to receive some msgs from friends... terrible.... haaa.....
anyway, glad that I just did what I did.... spend time watching movies rather than work.... I realise that I really think too much... I spend my time worrying if I have done the right thing that I miss out enjoying every moments.. oh... not everytime I will be like this.... just some days.... but serious.... I think too much... I should learn to enjoy and relax more!!!!
I want to learn more in life.... there's only one life that I live... Shirley... you have to live it with all you have, enjoy every moment, breathe and keep breathing, if I want to go to the SEAWORLD to swim with killer whales, do it Shirley! Why wait?? If I want to travel the world, do it Shirley? Why think so hard???
Life is too short thinking over whether I should or should not do certain things.... but of cos just as I have told my brother, we still need to think of the consequences of our actions.... if it doesnt involve or hurt others, then do it if I can.... =) Penang, I'm coming.... 30th April to 3rd May! Found Penang Christian centre! I'm coming on Sunday morning! =) Taiwan, I'm coming! and probably SEAWORLD, I'm coming! =)

The world suggests.....
The world suggests that I should be more open and especially in choosing my life partner... my partner neednt be a Christian... options will be more....
Many questioned me, why do I want to limit my choices to just christians?? The circle of choices become much smaller.... religion is not important, what is impt is the "spark" and love between the two. Christian marriages are not "divorce proof" anyway.
But my view.... no matter how the world may suggests.... how wide the door is to the easy way.... I don't want to compromise. No, I will not.
My future partner must be a Christian and someone who loves the Lord dearly.
Yes, no matter how hard it seems to find this perfect one for me... I know my time will come, my Lord has prepared the best one for me... I trust in Him....

February coming to an end
Wow, i have been so tired and busy this month.
Thank God that my appointment is postponed to 530pm later instead of 11.30am this morning. Giving me a chance to rest, to enjoy the breeze and send out all the emails that are long waiting to be done.
Hmm.... great weather! I am very very tired. Been working hard and studying too. Haven't see alot of results yet but I will jia you jia you jia you! =)
Finding myself sleeping late at 2am and it just make me sick!
I need to sleep by 12am and wake up by 7am. This is my promise to God, help me Lord! Forgive me of the times that I disobeyed and slept late again!
March is coming and I will not be late again! I will be a good girl. I will pray and read the words. Finding myself wanting to have a quality time with God but my habits of sleeping late is a big distraction! Jesus, sorry.
I will press in the most when I dont feel you the most.
I will press in till our relationship is mend and we become the best of friends again. I love you Jesus. Yes, my life yearned to be pleasing to You. I will live my life loving You and loving others.
Sometimes, I find myself a failure; in handling relationships with people, my own relationships. But 1 Corinthians 1:5 says "For in Him I have been enriched in EVERY way- in all my speaking and in all my knowledge."
Thank you Jesus, I neednt be inferior to think that I am not good enough, because I have been enriched in everyway in HIM. =)
I used to love to take pictures alot... but i find myself not very very keen to take pictures anymore. Lord, help me find back the reason to take pictures again. In You, I have been made strong! yes, I will be joyful... love to be in You..
Busy busy month.... had most meaningful Valentine's day serving God and His beloved people, enjoyed my fellowship with my Chinese YA people.....
Lord, I will pray and pray and pray and pray....
When the world fails, I will pray....
I love you Jesus.

Thank you Jesus for always being with me and teaching me new things everyday. You are always with me and never fail me. Lord, you are so good. Even when the whole world is gone, your words remain. Thank you for reminding me that I have a beautiful bedroom, with many good friends who love me so much, I have all the bears bears with me, i have so many good memories of life, and I have You in my life.
I have many wonderful times recently with my cell people from the Chinese Ministry. No matter what happened, we are still brothers and sisters in Christ and that is for eternity! That is why its so important to love and keep on loving each others! Know a great mei mei from Taiwan, Xiao Bai. She's cute, considerate and mature due to her past experiences. Thank God for knowing another great friend and prayer warrior! Had the most enjoyable night at esplanade on Sat night! SO fun... i want more of such fun times! Wish Brandon is with us. Been praying for him. So Lord, bring him back to us. =)
I know you will bring him back and he is going to serve you in greater ways! Your promises are yes and amen! =)
