Approaching Black Road 6th Anniversary
Transition Part 1: Positions

Just came back from my driving lesson circuit training as I'm going to take my test very very soon, this is one of the busiest month in 2008 but this month is also a very special month to me as it is the month before my blog's anniversary. 6 years of blogging, gone through alot of things and as I countdown my blog's anniversary, let me share with you my life, my heart in the next 4 weeks of December.

I'm going to start off strong in the first part of the 4 part series of this topic "Transition". People will ask me this question, "what's your rank now?" I'm perfectly fine with the question but some friends like to conclude your destiny by your "rank" or current "rank".

Well.. firstly I do believe anytime, anyone can just promote suddenly without a warning :) but let me tell you something! I believe in influence and being yourself or who you really are and that includes your destiny, purpose etc. So please people, don't come and tell me (or anyone) that it is not my destiny to be in this rank or that rank because let me tell (teach) you something, our influence in life is not based on rank but character.

Sorry if I sound abit too strong but this is the foundation (I figured this out during one of my greatest Transition period in life) of my life and if you don't agree with what I wrote here, probably you will not agree on anything I am about to say in the rest of the entries for this month about Transition.

December 2008: The Finale Again

Asian Conference 2008! What a great conference! It really impacted my life so much that I'm still abit lost in words now. All I can say now is... we gotto arise like never before! So this is the finale month for 2008, one of the busiest month for 2008! We are approaching to a new year yet at the same time the 6th Anniversary of Black Road (this blog).

I got 4 big events coming up, 2 big company events, 1 church big day and 1 important practical test for my driving lisense.

My dad will be back from China in the middle of the month of December, kinda miss him already and you know what? I always have this desire to do our favourite thing, want to have a guess what is it? Walking around the city, the heart of Singapore by foot and you will be surprise how many things have changed since the beginning of the year.

21st Century Singaporean (4 Days Before Asia Conference 2008)

It's over. Oh.. I'm refering to my role as a stand in exec and everything end up well! (I think.) Anyway.. next wednesday I'll be clearing leaves for this great event we going to have: Asia Conference 2008. I believe this event is going to transform the whole Asia and it will be a time a breakthrough. So do come if you can, for more information about this event you can check with me or visit this website http://www.asiaconference.org.sg/

All right! Now let's talk about this great city: Singapore. Well... I believe behind every great nation, you will find great people with boldness to open up their hearts for creativity and possibilities.

I'm really proud that Singapore won the world-wide Motor Sport Facility of the Year. What else do we have? If I'm not wrong the largest reservoir in the whole world at Marina Bay with a beautiful city garden nearby the reservoir? It's amazing!

Now, let's zoom it closer to ourselves shall we? Do you agree we have alot to say about ourselves? Just like me for myself for example, I have alot to say about our nation, about our fellow Singaporean and about myself.

So let me just start with our fellow Singaporean: I guess the 21st Singaporean (maybe the whole world) is becoming more and more open about ourselves and most of us enjoy blogging about our lives.

Now, lets zoom it further to my blog and you can check whether is it true: you can check my entries 5 years back and the way I wrote my blog is totally a different style compared to my recent blog entries. What's the difference? I guess... I'm just being more open to people and I think I'm improving in expressing myself.

Let us open our hearts for new things, just like our Singapore in the now and I believe we will experience yet another breakthrough in life. For me it's this Wednesday: Asia Conference 2008.

"Opening my heart once again for a new breakthrough in life."

Moving On: November First Challange (Last Day of 1 Week of Morning Prayer)

Wow... what a great week! As usual every morning went down to my church which is nearby my workplace to pray every morning, I really really feel that the breakthrough is going to come into my New Life season right now. Last week I talk about relationship is one of the aspect I'm working on in this New Life season and you know what? Just came back from a tea (teh o) chit chat today and one of my friend gone through a similar experience I had in life. After the chit chat, I'm more convinced with my theory, "A relationship must be tested before progressing."

I always believe if a relationship can't get through the test, bless that person (It can be a painful process but it's blibical) and move on! (you have more important things to do) Don't end a relationship with anger (be genorous) but in peace so that you will prosper as your soul prosper.

Now.. how about me? Well.. from the time I decided to move on to my New Life I find that besides Relationship another important thing I'm working on is my Career and some of you know that next week I will be standing in for my executive superior for a week! It will determine whether am I a good assistant to my superior when he is not around and settle things on behalf of him for a week!

It's a good opportunity and you know what? In order for us to grow in whatever area of our life, we need to be tested before we move on to the next level. So friends, let's move on and breakthrough!

Reunion Of Fellowship? (1 Day Before 1 Week of Morning Prayer)

Tomorrow will be our first day of our one week Morning Prayer yet again! I believe I'm going to end the year well. So recently I have been planning alot for the last two months of this year and one of the thing I'm going to work on is my relationship with people.

I got a few close friends and I'm really thankful for that but I notice something about friendship, crisis will stregthen the friendship or end a friendship. Everything must be tested in order to prove that it is strong and that's why we gotto treasure every precious moment when our close friends are with us because we have gone through so much with our close friends yet we know people will not be able to be there for you all the time.

As close friends we gotto bless them even if we have to go our seperate ways but deep in our hearts we will be praying and blessing that particular close friend. So be sure to be willing to bless that person if it is a time to say farewell and pray that there will be a time of reunion soon.

Let's Keep It Going

Hi guys, I'm here again to talk again and I can say that right now I'm in the climax of the year or grand finale of the year to put it in another way. Lots of events are coming up, events in the workplace where I have to work OT, events that are spiritual and exciting, events that will determine my productivity, events that will determine my financial status for next year and many many more.

Well got to keep the faith and press on! Got to write it all down and visualize the victorious moments I will be experiencing in the new year eve!

So far I have only taken 1 Annual Leave as I'm too busy with work and other stuffs but I guess this month got to really do some work life balance and therefore I'm planning an event @ Night Safari Halloween! It's gonna be fun! After the fun night I'll be back for a long sleep and do some retreat exercise for myself.

Expectation Increase

Have been very very busy, physcially and mentally this season. Not going to talk alot today but just want to say:

Expectations from people, colleagues and friends... almost everyone are increasing greatly. I know I got to be stronger than ever before, even for my own expectation, for the Kingdom and for everyone. I want to have the power for it and I'm really looking forward for that kind power at this coming sat, I know it's going to be good and exciting.

"Strength and power from the true love."

Nov and Dec 2008

You know something? I don't know about you but for me now in my 20s I think time really flies. I remember when I was young I really felt that it takes too long for a year to end. Now? I got to really number my days... and you know lots of important events coming up in the next two months and it will determine my productivity for the year 2008. I really hope I can acheive my goals for 2008 and I will do well in the upcoming important events in the next two months.

It's going to be exciting, yet tiring. :)

Music and Spirit

I'm getting a little excited recently, going to have a new colleague soon in my dept.

Yesterday I met my guit teacher,

"Invest on the right things!" "Pay the price!" Is really what he will say all the time. At that moment I felt ashamed, don't think I really treasure what he taught me and I kept silent about it, about the similar things I heard from him few years back, the similar way of reasoning and teaching.

Well you must be wondering what am I talking about?

Yesterday a whole group of us went to his session. I felt ashamed after the session but at the same time I was very inspired to fullfill my promise to him and the symbol of the promise lies with my personal guitar exchange with a condition he gave. I'm going to do something about it... I really want to...
