A brand new world => A New Vision!!

Qinlong have been feeling sick these two days. Suffered from running nose and sore throat. Feel that my whole body is very weak physically. However, just want to give thanks to yoke Yen, aka, YY (hope I spell her name correctly), that as my running nose went from bad to worse and I was like desperately looking for a piece of tissue, she actually gave me the whole box. Guess how grateful I was!! Thanks you so much. In addition, my senior manager was very nice too, actually he was the one that informed her about my running nose condition and he was helping me to look around for an additional tissue box. Thanks Melvyn! Really appreciate the both of u lots.

Lets see, what happened on Mon.
I went to meet Bili for lunch on Monday and because I was there slightly earlier (as usual => ) so I was given the responsibility to look for a seat. As it was lunch hour and the place were like fully packed, I couldn’t find any seat but I was lucky to find one near the clean-up area, (the clear up point). I was happy that I was able to find a seat so easily in the midst of a big crowd., just waited there until Bili came.

After that, he came and we had lunch. As he got up to buy drinks for me, I realize that designs have been added to his long sleeve shirt. As his back was turned against me, whilst queuing up to buy drinks, I noticed, Bili’s shirt was filled with fresh, multi-color in a stripes pattern. Okay, I have to admit, my first analytically tot was to look at the ceiling. It was much to my dismay as I imagine how the bird’s shit can color his shirt. And moreover, it was done in such a meticulous manner. However, to our realization, it was the Auntie, the clean-up point that was the culprit. Thus, poor Bili has to go back home to change after that, and as a result, I felt so bad to have chosen such a location. So dear friends, be smart as we make our daily decisions of our life okay. Dun be as mindless as me. Sometimes, when a seat is vacant in a fully packed place, there could be reasons behind it. =>

Tues

Recently, got less work to do in the office. Actually feel so uncomfortable initially. This is because, it is so difficult to stare into blank space or do nothing, personally. However, for the past 9 days, I have really kept myself busy from morning till dusk. Worked very hard and without slacking. => Perhaps, this is my so-called reward now ba. So rest a bit now lo, perhaps god have planned for this. So that I can recover from my sickness faster. Feel quite happy, as I start to get to know 1 or 2 of my colleagues better. Realized that I am not so open in unfamiliar environment. Perhaps, my high S ignite my stability personality. However, I am a high I too, in other words, it translate into “happy to interact with others”. Therefore, I think I will truly enjoy chatting with my colleagues also. Give me a bit more time okay? =P.

Mm, today, I read the straits time and I felt really upset. It was depressing that another child die in the reservoir. Actually, the tragic part is the heart of the passer-bys who saw and step over, pretended not to see anything or even not lift a helping hand to save the live of a child. It was a tragic incident and it reminded me of the train incident that I described 2 entries back. It was just in line with what I have experience. I am fortunate that my friends around me have a heart of compassionate and I am quite sure that most would help. But I am afraid this is still not enough. Just like what was quote in the bible. “ The harvest is plentiful but the harvester is few”.

I have a dream. I dream that Singapore, in the near future will be developed with an unique identity. An identity that all Singaporean could identify themselves with. One that can be recognized internationally. A quote from Fiorina’s commencement, the just-retired CEO of Fortune 11 company said these. “What you are today is God's gift to you. What you make of yourself is your gift to God. He is waiting for that gift right now. Make it something extraordinary.” These are inspiring words and to me, one of the gift that we can have and give to other is just being true and helpful. Help someone in need, for saving a life is of such great importance that neither money nor time could buy. Dun live to regret ur actions, but live to be of value to other. Let make Singapore a helping society, one with great compassion and love. Let build a brand new world. =>

Purpose of life here

Was thinking of the purpose of my life here and here it is.

I think that the main purpose of life here is to show love, care and concern for people out there. Humility, love, piety, oneness of spirit. When God created us, he already had a purpose made for each individual. He is the way, the truth and the life.

God, is someone I can seek when I waded in troubled water. He is someone that I can pray to and draw strength from when I am feeling weak or afraid. For he is a compassionate God and he always know our needs. What we need to do is just to ask. For it is mentioned in the bible, “Ask and it shall be given, seek and you shall find, Knock and u shall receive.” This shows that the lord had already store up lots of present in heaven, ready to distribute to all that seek and ask him. However, there are still plentiful of presents and gifts left in his storeroom. Left behind from those that don’t dare to ask, from those that doesn’t know him yet.

His love for us is so great and tender that that it is difficult to place a measurement on it. To measure a tremendous earthquake, a rither scale of 9 can be use. This is the one that caused a Tsunami causing the death of 220 000 people and great damages to the normal life and will thus affect the country, economically. To measure the feat done by the paralytic who lost both his limbs but complete 7 marathons back to back, consecutively, a distance of 254km was covered by this humane body over a period of rough terrain, weather and condition. With his armpower pushing himself and his willpower to complete it. How can we try to measure his great love? He was ready to die on the cross for that was his purpose, “ for on the day he was betrayed, jesus broke bread and say to his disciple that this is his body and…. He was betrayed by his disciple, tortured severly even before he was crucified. On top of this is inhumane whipping, he was humiliated by the guards, who forced a small pierced crown into his head. He suffered immense psychological and physical pain. Up till now, none of my pain that I have suffered for the whole of my life could match up with a small part that he had endures.

Why did he come to save us, for he love us and I think that my job on this earth would be to spread love around. I will be sensitive to people and continue to show love to everybody around me, irregardless of race, religion, age.

It has been a long time

Growing up process of Qinlong

Wow.. it has been a long time since i last update my blog le. Really busy with so many things in my life. Working and tuition is taking up most of my time. Mm.. havent had mucht time to catch up with most friends also.

However, felt very happy to be able to meet up with some of my OG friends last tweek tues. 14/06/05 Had a really nice chat with u all. It was really awesome. Cailing, Yenleng, kenny and yating were there. Ivan was near us aso.. however only manage to feel his presence. Nice to catch up with u people after a long while.
Anyway, i like the chilling out sessions at macdonalds the most. Whereby, all of us eating our ice-cream.

Mm..Think i really grow a lot during this holiday itself. HAve been experiencing a lot of setbacks, manage to pick myself up along the way. Have been always thingking that there are constantly so many things in life that we can try to pursue. Recognition, fame, money, fitness, thinness etc. Currently, spend most of my time working and giving tuition. Mm.. but i think ultimately, watever i am doing and fulfilling is not the be all and end-all. I must be serving a higher purpose.

As i mention above, went thru quite a lot this holiday. I believe some of us must have went thru the operation on their wisdom tooth. I just went thr mine. It was really some experience. Given the anaesthetic, my mouth was numb and couldnt feel anything as the dentist cut my gum open to remove my wisdom tooth.
Though could not really feel the pain, i admit i was scared and nervous. Mm, all i could think of was images of the lord, my god. I wonder during the operation itself. If this much i have to endure, i can't imagine the pain that he endures.

THe pain started kicking in 45 mins.. was on the mrt on the way home. Was already in great pain, and all alone. Mm.. but guess people in the mrt doesnt seems to be able to notice my pain.. so weird. Really struggle to get my way back home. Was really so grateful to be able to reach back home.
Gotten 5 days of mc.. but went back to work on the third day. Sigh, but i still lost my job anyhow. I believe as a part timer, i must really have left a bad impression from taking 2 days of leave at the last min on my second day of work..

Thinking of a song..

GIve us a heart of compassion,
for a world without vision,
to stand in the gap btw the living and the dead.
we will make a difference...

Thinking about compassion, i wonder what is really happening to the society. Feel so angry 2 days back. Was at jurong east at about 10pm plus on sunday.
knowing that there is still some time before the train arrived, i took out my straits time to read. As the train approaches, i was ghastly shock! There was a man, lying now on the ground, Wearing BRIGHT YELLOW... he was lying so close to the Jurong EAst platform that he literally lie across the yellow line and his fingers were already out on the platform. Looking around. i realize that at least 10 people have form a 180 degree semi circle around him. ONLOOKERS and no body try to help him or pull him away. I Was so Angry... and immediately dash towards him in breakneck speed. The train pulled to a halt, seemingly the driver saw the guy lying on the ground but it still stop past him..

THe thing is, Luckily he is unhurt!! But i can't believe my eyes. What is happening to the world? Can't someobdy just at least pulled him to safety.
I could even hear some of them talking about him as the train stopped there for a period of time.. I was so angry that i tried to stare at all 10 of them there..
Luckily, all is not lost, and somebody help him to his feet.

Hey, dear friends, lets build a community of compassion irregardless of race, sex, age or wat okay. let be the one to help when need be.
Okay.. going to stop here le... tomolo still got work..
C ya friends.. hope to catch up with u all people

How come the photographs not displayed together??

Haha.. Just a trial run to put all the photographs that i took.
Aiya, but dun really know how to put it all up together leh. Who would like to teach me.

Mm... Anyway think that my exam results really not that good. Mm.. i think didn't set a good role model. I feel that i should strive for the best and this is a far cry from it. So actually still feel a tinge of unhappiness and disappointment. Nevertheless, i will continue to aim and strive for an improvement in my studies and in different aspects of my life. On the other hand, one of my main priorities now is to be able to focus on my students, leading them to greater heights and potential. Whereby, they are capable of achieving.

Today, me went back to library to photocopied the past year papers for 2 of my students. Preparing to give them 1 paper as homework per week. In additional to that, they should aso do their TYS ba.

Today cell group was at NUS. Quite a change. Mm, we chatted on issue of excellence whereas academia is one of them. They serve as a source of motivation that spur me on. After today sessions, really even thirst for more excellence. To quote for the bible, this analogy would draw parallel to the analogy of using the talents that god have given us. The more we use, the greater the multipication.
though i recognize that academia is not the be all and end-all, it would be part of my life whereby i would aim to take it to greater heights. Whoever wants to join me in my quest, lets work hard towards it! Praise to the almighty..!! =P

"In failure, the lesson learnt is most valuable".

Yt and me, using my phone to take this photograph! 

My cousin came to my house!! 

Yanling just came back from thai
