Aint no nothing gona get me down.

Negative words gotta leave
Let there not be a battle in the mind

Justified not by works
But Justified by Faith

Trust in every sense of the word
Faith like a child in Him

Praying and Fasting

for the favor of these people
wisdom upon them

He is a fighter and He is the cedar beam
A must to keep them in prayers

God aint gona do anything if Im not lifting my finger off it
So from today onwards

Jesus take the wheel.

I am made whole.

“No other fount I know”

Dear Mavis,

I am a God of second chances.
When you arent happy, I am sad.
Abba Father is sad.
Enjoy your journey with Me.
You are made brand new.
Doesnt matter what happened in the past,
Dont think about what went wrong.
You are changed.
You are confident and happy.
And when you are happy, I am also happy.
I love to see you happy.
This is why I love you.
Because you make Me happy when you laugh and smile.
Remember your first love for Me?
Confidence and Joy.

Love,
God

My 1st week back at work was FUN!

My colleagues celebrated my birthday on Monday!
And they remembered the cupcake that I specifically requested for my birthday cake,
so sweet!

My mum ordered these thick chocolate muffins,
have yet to try them (I will tomorrow!)

Guess this?

YESS!!

And Calvin tied nappy’s hands and feet together when I wasnt at my seat today! Roar!

I had a great week!

It was my first cgm at N354 today,
feels like home,
although I have to admit W328 was on mind quite frequently today.

But everything is going to be alright!

this is it.

W328 has been my hiding place since 2005,
and now, it has become others’.

Looking at your faces brought so much memories
and caused the faucets to run.

I read through the sweat-and-blood booklet that you guys penned
and my floodgates opened again at supper after cgm.

And these are what I received from this beautiful family,

Like what Serene said,
maybe one day when you guys are up for an autopsy,
the doctor will find that your hearts have been slashed in every way it can
cause I have scarred your lives.
HAHA.
maybe.

I want to say a big thank you to all of you.

Alvin,
thank you for keeping the respect and love for me
even there were times when I even chided you accidentally
but you are very humble.
Be bold in the spiritual and be sharp for the people around you.
Excellence is God’s DNA.

Yunyou,
thank you for letting me come into your life
and I really enjoy learning from you too.
You are very detailed in loving others and there is visible effort in the way you serve the rest.
Boy there’s so much potential in you
but you got to let your ‘conscious’ exterior go
and let lose in God.

Jean,
you are a light in the marketplace
and you are courageous to work on what you love
your passion in salsa is contagious
I want to search for my passion too.
you are an inspiration.

Serene,
I have to thank you for letting me into your life too
and its a priviledge to get to know you.
You are going to start on a new chapter of your life in dim sum land soon
and I know you are going to be a top student
cause you are hardworking and you have God.

Ying,
I really feel more affectionate to call you Ying than Eliza (:
You have brought me up
and I always patterned my follow up according to how you have impacted my life
You are a very strong woman
and your fruits will one day prove to the world
of your faithfulness and reliance in God.

Michael,
haha.
Seeing you grow has brought strength to my life you know?
You became part of us on my 21st birthday and since then,
life has been an adventure with you.
It was so easy to talk to you
and you were forever so patient with my attitude problems and impatience.
Although age stands for itself that you can totally ignore my leadership
but you humbled yourself because you are hungry for God.
Have faith in God in every single area of your life ok?

Maggie,
this irritating ninkompoot has irritated my bowels! Roar!
you have grown so much!!
You, another one, with so much potential to shine for God,
in soul winning especially,
be a great evangelist for God ok?

Shirleen,
gurl, we have come quite a long way,
seeing the day you got saved, pos, sot, rising up..
you have such a beautiful soul
but do not be afraid
I am so so confident that you will outshine everyone else
because God is your Lord
You are lovable and many people want to be part of your life, to be your friend
Open the doors and let people in. (:

Yuxin,
gurl, you have also come a loooong way,
from counting to 6 to giving up counting,
and now you are a sot student
and doing so well in ministry.
I know we are thinkers and we think very similar thoughts,
and cause we always think 1 step ahead,
we got to plan 2 steps ahead of that 1 step.
Without a vision, the people perish.
Plan your ways and let God direct your path.

Alex,
aiyo..this gideon is like a little brother to me.
No matter what happens, you know Im always here.
You have also showed me humility cause you have never considered your ego an obstacle.
You have leadership qualities,
so work on your strengths.
Continue to nurture more men
and keep having faith in God
that His Word will not go back to Him void
and He is a God of prosperity.

Jiabin,
you have dreams and visions that might seem so far
but this doesnt mean that it cannot be reached.
Nothing is impossible with God.
But He calls us to be faithful in the little things
before we can be entrusted with the bigger things.
Lets do the little things as if they were big things,
and God will give us big things as though they were little things.

Gershon,
I am going to miss you.
Things have definitely changed and this season has closed its chapter.
But I have learned so much from you
patience, wisdom, love and giving second chances.
Thank you for giving me a chance to shine.
Thank you for giving me a chance to have a good lunch with you.
Thank you for letting me speak my heart at T3.
Thank you for tolerating and accepting who I am, never once did you scold me.
You are going to take the marketplace by storm.

Haze,
you are such a blessing in my life
and I am so honored to be born so close with you.
I have thoroughly enjoyed every step with you
but now the cg needs you.
Its ok if we are not strong,
because God is strong.
There’s nothing to fear cause God is strong and always in control.
Dont give up in sharing your joy with others
because its terribly contagious too.
I look forward to coming to church and cgm cause I want to be infected by you
you are my eye candy.
I dont want to see you in church next time
and be frantically finding a topic to talk with you cause we havent spoken for a long time,
but I want us (with doraemon) to keep meeting up ok?

I feel so much better now,
saying whats in my heart.

Thank you for all your well wishes

and God told me its time to let go of this chapter now.

(:

oh before I forget,

This is my birthday present from the leaders, bought by Karen HOOO!
and I lurve it!!

Hi guys,
Im in the 9th day of Compliance,
so Im wanting to record what ever that has happened
for record’s sake.

The first day of my 10 days started with pre-birthday and Maveday,
first to Cats with my family,

Then to JB on Maveday with Jason,

Met up with Yahlan on Tuesday, 11am,
let the teargate break open and whatever that was bottled up in me for almost 2yrs
came up in that mere few minutes when she was looking into my eyes
like how she always looked into the depths of my spirit.
We made one of the most important decisions in my ministry life
and I am really thankful that my heart and mind were relieved in that moment
and that heavy burden thats been weighing on my back
was lifted and became history.

Wednesday was great cause I had an International Buffet spread
at Furama Hotel
with Gershon, Hazel, Shirleen and Yuxin.
Shon and I cooked our own noodles
and we dipped sweets into that gorgeous chocolate fondue..

Attended Poh’s iWorship101 on Thursday at EDB,
and it was superb!
Poh is such a great speaker and teacher, peppered with jokes and his experiences,
he made the crowd of about 150 guitarists, song leaders and cgls laugh.
“We are priviledged cause God chose to put His musical talents in us,
and we are to be good stewards of His talents – MULTIPLY!”

Celebrated Hazel’s birthday at cgm on Friday night,

and she got everything she wanted, thanks to Serene! (:
I was really proud of the purple hairdryer I chose for her though, haha.

Went out for another mini-birthday-celebration-catch-up at Marina’s Hong Kong Cafe with
Bronson, Li, Eva, Shaun, Jason and Hazel
and the cake was yummy!
It was a good time of chatting, letting lose of ourselves,
and I dont remember laughing too loudly. HAHA.

Had a pleasant enjoyable chat with Serene over dinner on Saturday,
and we shared so many irrelevant stuff
but believe me, it definitely got us so much closer
and I felt I got to know her better beneath all that hyena laughter.
And Michael treated me to dinner, while Alvin bought us desserts to share.
The chill out session with
Serene, Hazel, Alvin, Isaac, Michael, JB and Gershon,
and we had a ball of time laughing at(with) Isaac about his short-lived ‘romance’ haha.

Sunday was relaxing AND
Jason did manicure for me! in pink!
Though it looks like, what?
I know he tried his best to love me the way I like it.
Loo lala loo lala loo la loo la lay!

Monday,
I accompanied my mum for her eye checkup at SGH,
then we had lunch at Swensen’s and went for a mini shopping trip at Bugis,
and braved the heavy downpour home.

Tuesday, spent the day accompanying Jason at the airport while he studied,
ran for the last train to Tanah Merah at 1115pm.
But it was fun!

And yesterday, Wednesday,
We reached the airport at 1015 in the morning,
helped Jason copy some notes, had cupcorn at Macs!
And so,
I got a STAR from Jason,

and a butterfly on my knee (Hello Jean!),

And we got a book for me!

And I am a happy Kitty boy.

God must have thought the world of you when He made you.
Remember what Poh said?
Multiply the talents that He has put in you, good and faithful servant.

Happy Birthday my dear friend.

3rd May started with a lazy afternoon,

then,
with my family!

Jason came to meet me at Esplanade to have a late dinner at Al Dente.

We walked by the river to spend some time before he sat me down with his little surprise!

There, he gave me a cake which was what I have been wanting to sink my teeth into,
and no one knows that I secretly wish for it to be my birthday cake!

We left the place around 1220am
cause it was going to be a long day today!

We woke up to a rainy morning,
and I got to admit that my mood was dampened,
but Jason went against pessimism and said
“No! You have been waiting for this day to come, we have to go!”

And the journey to JB began!

And thank God, the rained stopped while we were getting to the bus terminal,
and only started to rain when the bus was moving off!

We dashed to Mong Kok Char Chan Teng for brunch the moment we arrived
cause someone was hungryyy.

“Dardar, they dont have brown anymore..”

“What about red?”

Closet Cam Lover. Haha.

The 40min Foot Massage was NINKOMPOOT!! (to me)

I went for a Pedicure and we did some more shopping but we were too busy to take out any cameras.

Then we proceeded to an early dinner at Secret Recipe!

BOO!

And here’s the food!

Bleahhhhh..

And so we left JB with our loots, photos, memories, laughter,
with the same date stamps in our passports.

These are the gifts I received from W328,
Thank you for the love offering, all in the form of a PINK card.
Thank you Alvin and Hazel for the sweat and blood in skulpting Hello Kitty for me.
And to everyone who contributed to the birthday card, esp Yunyou.
I teared when I read those words, and I really appreciate every single one who left a footprint in my life.
Thank you for coming down to wish me Happy Birthday
(although I secretly think you guys enjoyed it more than me)!

And these 2 gurls realllly made my day,
Lili-fied!!!

And thank you, Eva and Shaun,
for spending such quality time with Jason and I.
We talked about so many things and you kinda helped me open up my heart so much.
You guys put courage in my heart and I feel so much more in control of my thoughts and emotions.
Although I felt like splashing my drink into Shaun’s face so many times,
but thank you for being kind to me on my birthday. haha.

And this handmade card and a HUGE Kello Kitty from COOKIE,
This boy went through tough times to prepare for my birthday while in the midst of his exam preparation.
And through it all, he has been very patient and loving.
Dardar, your first paper is 3 days away,
Jiayou ok?

And I want to thank my parents for getting me a PINK ice cream cake to end the day.

THANK YOU!!

Love, Mavis

Mini-celebration just ended.
Looking forward to tomorrow!

24.
A year older, a year wiser.
To be faithful in the little things.
Nothing is going to get me down cause His love excludes every 2nd opinion against me.

I can because He is.

Nura’s last day in Citi.

SHE!
cause we are of the same height. haha.

..I have great colleagues.

A Dad-Shaped Hole

Freely You gave it all for us
Surrendered Your life upon that cross
Great is the love
Poured out for all
This is our God

Lifted on high from death to life
Forever our God be glorified
Servant and King
Rescued the world
This is our God
