Am I SAVED?

Test Test Test......Test

Looks Like the blog still working fine. Ages since i last blog, some updates damn busy with work currently busy with climbing the corporate ladder :>, just compeleted anothe 42km under 5 hours (one of my best timing) and basically thats it.

Must be wondering why i post that title. Was reading up some blog posted about Jesus not saving everyone and the only way condition to be saved is not only believing He existed but also follow Him. Well to a certain points its true but seriously correct me if am wrong who in the world can actually follow His high standard. So if we cant follow that standard then I think all the believers would be condemn to hell.

Well there is a reason why Jesus died on the cross right and all of us knows it. And definately if you believe He existed is one thing but believing His God and abiding in His rule is another. But for sure my sins are forgiven.

It's still alive....alive

Hello anyone still reading up on my blog? If you do, please drop me a hello on my chatterbox. It’s been a long time since I posted anything here (hope that the spiders have not taken a liking there). Here are the updates of what happen a year ago.

Was very busy with my final year, thank God I manage to grad. The busyness during the year sort of took over the stuff that I try to forget but then again it’s still coming back to haunt me. Guessed that there is time where you want to really leave everything messed up or nonchalant about solving it. Cause it really does hurts thinking about the decision that was made. So my brothers and sister I urged you all to communicate more (I think that’s what am going to do for the next few weeks).

In case my loyal blog reader didn’t know I started my career as an engineer already hurray!!!! Yup working for Jurong Shipyard pte ltd, under a year bond so no grad trip, no holiday, no rest as I selling my soul to work to climb the corporate ladder (hahahaha joking one). Well I thank God for landing me the opportunity to be able to start work the moment I grad and also for financing my studies through the ways that I never thought would ever happen to me.

Well that’s all for now do stay tune for more updates.

p.s i think university had rob me of my time to serve and learn more of Jesus my savior.

Farewell My love

It has been a long and tiring journey traveling from one end of Singapore to another, and it all finally over TODAY!!! Yup NTU internship curriculum ends today as am officially declared jobless (jobless sound nasty). So would you rather study or work that’s the question most people would ask. To me going back to school would be my choice because:-

1) Doing work the whole day is pretty monotonous

2) No girls to ogle at in an engineering environment (maybe except for aunties)

3) Don’t need to be in constant fear of supervisor spot checking on your work

Overall internship was not that bad after all, especially when the projects given were able to complete. And also making one more proficient in Microsoft excel (e.g. design a GPA calculator when am super free). By the way if anyone wants my GPA calculator feel free to get it from me.

As one of the manager quoted “there’s no such thing as a free lunch”. Yup yesterday there was a Farewell lunch planned by the working colleagues as a token of appreciation for the diligent work that 4 outstanding individual had devoted to the organization. Sounded like am selling ourselves to future employers. Anyway lunch was not free as each intern has to give a speech on the experiences gained and the working environment there. Well the speech was crappy but lunch was salivating to hungry colleagues who eager for the moment when lunch was declared ready to dig in (sound like hungry ghost festival).

Well here is a note to future graduate interning in SAM, go work for the Quality assurance department cause they produces quality work just like how they produce quality engineers and interns :>

Diving Anyone?

11th May ’08, a day to remember for failing to bring my shower foam, shampoo and goggle (Speedo) before plunging into the pool of eternal declaration to follow the one who bear our transgression and peccadillo on the cross of grandeur. The cross was a tool in ancient times, used to crucify or punish someone in the most gruesome way. Now it is a symbol that whenever someone sees the cross, they will know it’s of the Christian religion.

So how did it felt to get dunk in the icy pool, early in the morning with people cheering along side for you? Well most people might think that this bunch of people got nothing better to do on a Sunday morning. But to a believer of this faith, it’s more than a sacrament and holds a special meaning of cutting away from the old self and rebirth to a new being in putting trust on the higher authority that transformation will happen.

As the body slowly immerse into the square pool, the mind was in oblivion. Rays of the sun penetrates into the pool as my eye opens slightly to see what’s in there. It felt so helpless not able to get up from the pool despite the fact that my feet were touching the ground. With a gentle pull, a new person was created been cleansed with water that’s created by God and prayer of the ardent love for the one name Jesus. It didn’t end with just the prayer by the clergy but awaken by the roaring cheer of joy from peers and followers of Christ as the process ends.

This marks the end of the old being and a start of something new, challenges will be faced from the world and of Mr. Tan that consistently tout one mind that’s fixed to righteousness.

Hahahah should have posted this picture decades ago, anyway enjoy the clips people

Crappy

Hello it’s been awhile since I made an entry here, anyway I’m amazed that I didn’t make any blog entry last month. I was busy with tons of stuff last month and also feeling down with work, family, my future and other things. Maybe I’m just trying to keep myself busy so that some things can just be forgotten. Well the more I try the more vivid it gets, that’s ironic right.

Maybe I spent my time in church too much, neglecting people like my pals whom I knew since my schools days. Kind of feel bad about it, not meeting them up of a long time, but when I’m feeling blue they will be listening to my trouble over the messenger. Although it’s great to worship the One who I believe in but I don’t think He would not want me to forget the others that’s around me.

Secondly had been thinking lots of stuff after becoming a Christian, the stuff that I done and the thing that had happen, whether it was the right or wrong. I’m not saying that I regret becoming a Christian but the decision that I made. Always had the feeling that why I should follow what another tells me to do. Stuff like “oie why never go X-road” “go dg leh” “step up to lead a dg” “do u think that u can grow without making discipleship”. Well to tell the truth I’m sick of people leading me by the nose.

I didn’t make any commitment to God that I would do this stuff; I just purely joined so that I could know more about Christianity (I mean join crusade). That time I just wanted to know more as I was a fresh Christian and had no intention of anything extra. Then thing just went by really fast, 1st was becoming a gig leader. Ya at 1st it was great to get to know a pre- believer who finally came to know Christ but the next moment he gave me a shock of my life. Sometimes I wonder did I give him the wrong information about my beliefs or God is putting me to a test.

Okay I know evangelizing is part of what I suppose to do and I must say it’s not difficult. The hard part actually begins with doing the following up. Ya I know people going out to mission trips during the holidays but did you ever thought of whether the people after knowing Christ will or will not backslide the next day. Well I think it’s rather irresponsible to start a thing and not following through or maybe I just think too much.

Well God made everyone special, not everyone was made to be preachers or leaders in church or other Christian organization. But I think He also creates people who will excel in other areas example sports, music, studies and other places. Anyway when we use this gift in that particular area isn’t it worshiping Him too?

Sometimes great advice doesn’t really have to be from a Christian, other people can also have opinions that are great too. I knew a Christian who always tells me about life sucks; worry about not able to finish paying school fee, about not able to get a job upon graduation and other demoralizing topics. That really just puts me down when I have to work with this kind of people cause after listening repeatedly to what they say really bothers me to think in that area. I think this also add on to why I felt down for the past few weeks.

Last night had combine cell, and it was the 1st time had I step up to the front to be prayed for. Well am amazed by the ones who prayed for me, yup was really bothered by issues of why am I trying to be someone am not. Why must I follow what the rest do and not do it the way I like it or the way I think is also Christ like decisions. I was also bothered by getting myself baptized, kept thinking whether what my other not Christian relatives might think.

While praying and keeping my focus on recollecting my past walk with God, tears just flows down my face. Don’t know if it’s tears of joy or sorrow but I definitely knew that it’s the tears which release me from the gloominess for the past weeks that had been dwelling inside.

Anyway I think my entry quite messy there, lots of stuff going through me now. Can’t really think and write properly now. Well please pray for me then.

Who wants me to teach guitar???

Wow had not been in here for quite awhile, anyway i was busy with my attachment at Singapore Aerospace Manufacturing company. Ya still going strong but everyday at work is like taking exams cause when the engineers at work starts to talk in their engineering language am totally lost. Its seems like their language is alien to me but then again if i dont understand their language how am i going to be a future engineer wanabe after graduating from NTU.

By the way i did a video, see if i can get anyone to learn guitar from me anyway hope u all enjoy and have a good laugh.
