Yesterday i stayed overnight at my new hse with my mum, cos my furnitures will be delivered today, den i dun wan to wake up so early.. so i stayed there instead.. hehe... xP

This morning went to have breakfast with my aunties at the coffee shop. After eating, they came up to my new hse and waited for our new furnitures with us. ^^

I love my room! cos it is simple and only got 2 things; bed + piano. i dun like my room to be so complicated, as my room is not very big..

Here are some pics of my room taken before and after the furnitures:

I love my piano! and bed frame too! but once i put my bed on it, i will update the pics again! =D

Here is the pic of my living room. Just wanna take it before ALL the furnitures are being moved in. Cos by the time all furnitures are being moved in, the living room will be very cramp le. So i wanna take the pic of my spacious living room. xD

Next Sunday i'll be officially moving in to my new hse le! Time really flies! I'm so excited! Looking forward to it!! ^^

God is a good God and will be with us through every trial and tribulation that may come our way. I encourage you to be strong and never let this world or the things associated with it get you down or make you feel that you are not worth it. Jesus loves you and is with you every step of the way.

This is an excellent story of how the Lord is with us and never leaves ourside. It is a little long but well worth the time to read. I hope this story blesses you as it has for me.


THE BURDEN

"Why was my burden so heavy?" I slammed the bedroom door and leaned against it. Is there no rest from this life? I wondered. I stumbled to my bed and dropped onto it, pressing my pillow around my ears to shut out the noise of my existence. "Oh God," I cried, "let me sleep. Let me sleep forever and never wake up!" With a deep sob I tried to will myself into oblivion, then welcomed the blackness that came over me.

Light surrounded me as I regained consciousness. I focused on its source: the figure of a man standing before a cross. "My child," the person asked, "why did you want to come to Me before I am ready to call you?" "Lord, I'm sorry. It's just that... I can't go on. You see how hard it is for me. Look at this awful burden on my back. I simply can't carry it anymore." "But haven't I told you to cast all of your burdens upon Me, because I care for you? My yoke is easy, and My burden is light." "I knew You would say that. But why does mine have to be so heavy?" "My child, everyone in the world has a burden. Perhaps you would like to try a different one?" "I can do that?" (Matthew 11:28)

He pointed to several burdens lying at His feet. "You may try any of these." All of them seemed to be of equal size. But each was labeled with a name. "There's Joan's," I said. Joan was married to a wealthy businessman. She lived in a sprawling estate and dressed her three daughters in the prettiest designer clothes. Sometimes she drove me to church in her Cadillac when my car was broken. "Let me try that one." How difficult could her burden be? I thought. The Lord removed my burden and placed Joan's on my shoulders. I sank to my knees beneath its weight. "Take it off!" I said. "What makes it so heavy?" "Look inside." I untied the straps and opened the top. Inside was a figure of her Mother-in-law, and when I lifted it out, it began to speak. "Joan, you'll never be good enough for my son," it began. "He never should have married you. You're a terrible mother to my grandchildren..." I quickly placed the figure back in the pack and withdrew another. It was Donna, Joan's youngest daughter. Her head was bandaged from the surgery that had failed to resolve her epilepsy. A third figure was Joan's brother. Addicted to drugs, he had been convicted of killing a police officer. "I see why her burden is so heavy, Lord. But she's always smiling and helping others. I didn't realize..." "Would you like to try another?" He asked quietly. I tested several. Paula's felt heavy: She was raising four small boys without a father. Debra's did too: a childhood of sexual abuse and a marriage of emotional abuse. When I came to Ruth's burden, I didn't even try. I knew that inside I would find arthritis, old age, a demanding full-time job, and a beloved husband in a nursing home.

"They're all too heavy, Lord" I said. "Give back my own." As I lifted the familiar load once again, It seemed much lighter than the others. "Lets look inside" He said. I turned away, holding it close. "That's not a good idea," I said. "Why?" "There's a lot of junk in there." "Let Me see." The gentle thunder of His voice compelled me. I opened my burden. He pulled out a brick. "Tell me about this one." "Lord, You know. It's money. I know we don't suffer like people in some countries or even the homeless here in America. But we have no insurance, and when the kids get sick, we can't always take them to the doctor. They've never been to a dentist. And I'm tired of dressing them in hand-me-downs." "My child, I will supply all of your needs... and your children's. I've given them healthy bodies. I will teach them that expensive clothing doesn't make a person valuable in My sight." Then He lifted out the figure of a small boy. "And this?" He asked. "Andrew..." I hung my head, ashamed to call my son a burden. "But, Lord, he's hyperactive. He's not quiet like the other two. He makes me so tired. He's always getting hurt, and someone is bound to think I abuse him. I yell at him all the time. Someday I may really hurt him...." "My child," He said, "if you trust Me, I will renew your strength, If you allow Me to fill you with My Spirit, I will give you patience." Then He took some pebbles from my burden. "Yes, Lord," I said with a sigh. "Those are small. But they're important. I hate my hair. It's thin, and I can't make it look nice. I can't afford to go to the beauty shop. I'm overweight and can't stay on a diet. I hate all my clothes. I hate the way I look!" "My child, people look at your outward appearance, but I look at your heart. By My Spirit you can gain self-control to lose weight. But your beauty should not come from outward appearance. Instead, it should come from your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in My sight."

My burden now seemed lighter than before. "I guess I can handle it now" I said. "There is more," He said. "Hand Me that last brick." "Oh, You don't have to take that. I can handle it." "My child, give it to Me." Again His voice compelled me. He reached out His hand, and for the first time I saw the ugly wound. "But, Lord, this brick is so awful, so nasty, Lord! What happened to Your hands? They're so scarred!" No longer focused on my burden, I looked for the first time into His face. In His brow were ragged scars-as though someone had pressed thorns into His flesh. "Lord," I whispered. "What happened to You?" His loving eyes reached into my soul. "My child, you know. Hand Me the brick. It belongs to Me. I bought it." "How?" "With My blood." "But why, Lord?" "Because I have loved you with an everlasting love. Give it to Me." I placed the filthy brick into His wounded palm. It contained all the dirt and evil of my life: my pride, my selfishness, the depression that constantly tormented me. He turned to the cross and hurled my brick into the pool of blood at its base. It hardly made a ripple.

"Now, My child, you need to go back. I will be with you always. When you are troubled, call to Me and I will help you and show you things you cannot imagine now." "Yes, Lord, I will call on You." I reached to pick up my burden. "You may leave that here if you wish. You see all these burdens? They are the ones that others have left at My feet. Joan's, Paula's, Debra's, Ruth's.....When you leave your burden here, I carry it with you. Remember, My yoke is easy and My burden is light." As I placed my burden with Him, the light began to fade." (Jeremiah 33:3)

Yet I heard Him whisper, "I will never leave you, nor forsake you." A peace flooded my soul. Amen. (Deuteronomy 31:6)

Blogger is becoming so stranger to me. Cos i've been blogging in Cyworld nowadays. But i think for this matter, it will be better to blog it here, as it concerns Singaporean.

Hmm. Where should i start with... Alright, i should just start from the beginning.. If not i will not come to know about this matter.

When i was at work yesterday, I've got nothing to do, cos i've already done everything the previous day, so yesterday i wanted to check about the length of my piano and my bed, so i can determine whether can i put them side by side in my room or not. After i found out about the length of my piano, i wrote it down. And went on to find the length of my bed. However, i couldn't remember the name of the furniture shop i bought in IMM. So i went to IMM's website and looked at the directory.

I selected level 3, because i remembered the shop was from level 3. I looked through the list of shops in level 3, and found the shop (i sort of having an impression of the name, cos i took a glance at it when i went in that time).

The name is "Mr Decor". Alright, from here on, this is what which makes me so angry and pissed off! When i found the name of the shop, i googled it to look for the company website, as i need to find the product, hence the length of it. Instead of finding the website, i found a forum. So i clicked it.

In the forum, it was about people complaining about the service and products of Mr Decor. The more i read, the more i get worried. Here is the thread to the complaint:
http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=22778

And this morning, the more i think, the more angrier i get! Yesterday i was not so angry, just more of worried. The staff over there really don't deliver what they promised.

I remembered the first time i went there, I bought the bed about $1.8k. It was so freaking expensive! But I thought it was expensive cos of the quality of the wood they used. And then after we bought it, the sales assistant asked us to buy things from them when we need anymore furnitures, DON'T buy from others. And for deposit, they collected $1.3k from us! Hey come on! Just a deposit! When we made our payment, the person gave us a namecard. He said "if the furniture is not sent to your place, look for this person", pointing at the name of the person in the namecard. On our invoice, the sales assistant even wrote down "Good Luck". Sounds so sarcastic!

The 2nd time we went, which was to inform them about our delivery date. We went to take a look at the bed again, as we saw that the counter staff were busy. Another sales assistant served us. We were just LOOKING at the bed, never ask anything, and that staff said "oh, we're having promotion for this bed now, we're selling $2k." I was looking at the staff shockingly, and she just smiled. Freaking cheater. So we just nodded our head and proceeded to the counter. The counter staff DON'T seem to notice us, or rather, they saw us, but NEVER attend to us. One was talking on the phone, another was talking and laughing away with another staff from the opposite shop AT THE COUNTER, IN FRONT OF US. And the sales assistant, who served us the first time, was doing some paper work. There are THREE people at the counter, and NONE of them bother to attend to us. We are just standing RIGHT in front of them at the counter! Then i just stared at all of them. The one who was talking on the phone just tapped on the sales assistant who was doing paper work, and she just "TSK" and attended to us unwillingly. WHAT KIND OF SERVICE IS THIS MAN?!!

The sales assistant somehow remembered us, then she just smile smile and talked to us. And after telling them the date, she asked whether we need anything else. My dad said he bought everything from somewhere already. That sales assistant then raised her voice "Why?! Didn't I told you before if you need anything else, buy from us! Don't buy from others?!" =.= We've got nothing to say. And she said "never mind, just look around and see if there's anything else u need."

So we just looked around the dining table, and the sales assistant came to us again. She keep saying this dining table good, that dining table good, keep asking my dad to buy. My dad said he's still considering, and she said don't need to consider, just help them to buy 1 table, as their sales for the day is not good.

Now I understand why their sales for that day is not good, maybe others already heard of this furniture shop, so they're afraid to even go in. I still remember when we were looking around, the sales assistant was beside us, then she suddenly shouted "OI! NO PHOTO-TAKING HERE! DIDN'T YOU SEE IT?!" pointing her finger at an indian man. She's so rude! And somemore she's standing beside us and shouted so loudly while my dad and i were looking at the tables. We were so shocked. She should have gone up to the man and told him politely. This shop is even blacklisted as one of the blacklisted furniture shops:
http://forums.cozycot.com/home-and-decor/33686-blacklisted-furniture-shops-2.html

They don't even have a proper website. Their company website is: http://www.benghwa.com/. Unlike other furniture companies' website, which will include their furnitures in the website, and make their website looks so professional. This website is just like a secondary school student creating a static and simple front-end website for their projects.

Now i'm really angry to the extend that, if i didn't get what i expected on the day of delivery, I will really make sure they lose their job. I mean ALL of them; the boss, the manager, the assistant manager, and even the sales assistants. And NEVER to be able to find ANY jobs again! I will try all means to make their company "well-known" to the public. I will post their "good" service and products in Stomp, forums, or even print a poster to paste everywhere in IMM, and put in everyone's letter box. If possible, i will ask every victim to sign a petition, i'm sure they're very willing to do it. I will make sure the WHOLE company close down and suffer badly! I really do not want other innocent people to get conned by them. If possible, I would really like to go and stay outside their shop and stopped everyone from going into that shop, even just for looking at their products. They really need some punishment!

So my advice to those who wanted to buy any furnitures, DON'T ever step into this shop at IMM. I shall say the name of the shop again, remember this blacklisted furniture shop: MR. DECOR aka BENG HWA.

*Edit: I just got to know from my dad that he showed the invoice to another furniture shop owner, and the shop owner said that MR. DECOR aka BENG HWA is an UNREGISTERED furniture shop! Just take note of the below furniture shops, which belonged to Beng Hwa:
1) Mr Décor (Furniture Boutique)
2) Furniture HQ (Furniture Boutique)
3) Sofa King (Sofa Brand)
4) Salotti (Furniture Boutique)
5) Home Maker (Furniture Boutique)
6) Healthy Sleep (Mattress Boutique)

DON'T ever buy anything from these shops. Even if the world only left with these shops, die die also cannot buy from them! I'd rather use my old furnitures, because all these furnitures sold in these shops are WORSE than old furnitures!

Just found out that Donghae actually composed a song recently. i really love his voice!! so sweet and gentle.. i was just telling this to jiaqi yesterday.. haha!! The 1st song being played in my playlist was sung by him! <3 <3 and i've put total of 9 songs in my playlist! actually added only a few.. but i keep adding more and more.. =.= cos i really find the songs nice! haha!! wanted to put more.. but... i *control control*!

SuJu M's Blue Tomorrow MV is finally out today! Very nice!! <3 <3

And i'm addicted to their first album de song, In My Arms. I dunno why when i first listened to this song last time, i got this very warmth feeling, and now i really addicted to this song.

Here's the song:

i love the footages too! really cant stop laughing when i watched it. haha!

alright, i'm going back to my fish pond le.. goodnight!! =)

I went for prayer session with jq juz now. i knocked off from work at 4pm, cos yesterday i went home late, so today can go back early! hehe.

I meet jq at 7:45pm, as the prayer session started at 8pm. After the session, we went to cm's blk and take pic. lol.. and we sat there and chit chat.. at first we were sitting at the void deck, den we saw a cockroach. so we were freaked out. and i told jq to ask her Sungmin to come, den she said by the time he comes.... and juz b4 she could finish her sentence, i said come le... pointing to the cockroach which were approaching us.. den both of us quickly jumped out of our seats. haha! so we switched to another place to chit chat instead.

We were wondering whether if the rests of our frens were on their way back home anot, cos we nv go out with them.. and i was wondering wat was cm's reaction when she saw us.. and i juz did the reaction i assumed to jq..

After chatting a while, cm really appeared! haha, and the reaction was EXACTLY the same as i assumed. LOL!! cm said phy oso was wondering whether are we still in church anot. haha. den i said we also tot the same way, and we really dun need any communication devices to communicate with each other le, cos we can use our telepathy. haha..

The 3 of us chatted. and we started to chat about chalet and stuff.. and talked abt pitching tents.. so i told them there was once i was in the tent and it rained heavily... all my stuff inside were wet.. i said i was at East Coast Park, but i nv say tat, i juz said "Dong Hai".. and den i was stucked there, keep repeating "Dong Hai... Dong Hai...", and jq helped me to add an "An" behind everytime i said "Dong Hai". cos East Coast Park in chinese is called "Dong Hai An"... haha... =X

While walking home, i was still tinking abt this... and i was smiling to myself.. haha... i'm crazy.. den when i reached home, i logged into skype, the first thing jq said was "Dong Hai An".. haha.. den i said i was tinking abt tat earlier.. den said we really dun need any communication devices le. I think i've said tat 6 times in juz 1 night... =.=

Yeah! i'm so looking forward to tml! cos tat will be the day SuJu M's Blue Tomorrow MV will be out! it's my favourite! ^^ <3 <3

Yeah!! It's Friday today!! I'm slacking off for a while first, cos i've finished my data entry, and left with only the chicken thigh to stitch.. after stitching i really have nothing to do le... hehe..

I'm addicted to cyworld lately.. I love playing with the pet.. =p

I'm so tired!! What i hate abt working is waking up early in the morning.. this morning when i woke up i was so tired! and i was freezing cold!!! really dun have the mood to wake up..

Now i'm in lab le.. very cold... and jq said it's raining now.. I'm listening to 93.3fm now, and the dj oso said it's raining heavily outside now.. highest temperature only 30 degree celcius.. O_O! but when i was walking here, the weather was normal de... weather really changed fast... =.=

Alright, today i'll be working on rat again.. hope i can do better this time... Hwaiting!! =D

i'm in my workplace now. nothing to do at the moment, cos it's still early, so no chicken to stitch yet. haha!

anyways, i really love this job, and i really thank God for it. God really has a plan for me, and i can see the sequence of it: In the beginning in June, xy and i got a job in NUH working as ward-controller. we didnt even apply it.. or rather, we didnt even go to tat particular agency; Search Network. So we agreed to work and started the nxt day. lol.. after this job, i got interested in Healthcare line.. so every jobs i tried to apply was related to hospitals and healthcare.. and later i got shortlisted for a clinic assistant job, in NUH too.. 1st day of work i did nothing, juz sitting at the counter and observed my colleagues working. 2nd day of work i followed one of my seniors to run the clinic. and tat very day, a doc asked abt me, and asked whether i'm interested in a lab work, which is wat i'm working now.. so i said i'll consider. a few weeks later, i run his clinic again, and den i said i was interested in the job, and he gave me the number to call. but i received no replies at all for a few weeks, and den a HR called very sudden, and asked me to go for interview the nxt day. and tat was how i got this job now.

God is really amazing! He has a plan for all of us. He once told me: If you really want something and you couldnt get it, if think you have not work hard enough to achieve it, work harder.. But if you think you have tried your best and worked very hard no matter what, but still dont get what you want, that is not God's plan for you. Try other stuff, and don't waste time on it. Cos if that is not in God's plan, no matter how hard u try, u still will not get it..

Today i have department meeting. I think i will fall asleep in the meeting, cos it is a meeting for all doctors, nurses and staff... haiz.. and i've made up my mind juz this morning, i've decided to go for EVERY prayer session held on every 1st and 3rd Friday of each month.. i really have to make this a habit.. i wanna be closer to God, and i wanna be a prayer warrior! Hwaiting! =D

haha. i tink i'm addicted to playing cyworld le.. but the bad thing abt it is all the functions are limited... and need "red beans" to buy.. even for background music and skins.. even when we upload our own music, we are limited to 7 days at least.. and worse thing is, "red beans" have to be bought with real money... =.= so i tink after 7 days, i juz leave my cyworld as it is ba.. anyways i juz created this cyworld because of Donghae! =D

i love the pet game! haha.. can teach pet to speak, and when other ppl leave their footprint on my petpage, i'll get $$ for my pet to buy stuff! haha.. fun! and i oso got to read SuJu's update.. guess wat? Hangeng became my latest love in SuJu! tat makes 5!
- My 1st: Donghae of cos! ^^
- 2nd: Heechul (i oso dunno why i like him. when i first saw him in EHB, i feel that he really looks like "Proud Clone" (my side dish in NUH when working as Ward-Controller), maybe tat's why i like him ba. haha..)
- 3rd: Eunhyuk (cos he is cute, and he's so compatible with Donghae!! Eunhae~ <3)
- 4th: Leeteuk (i love his smile... lol..)
- 5th: Hangeng (i started to like him when i watched the SuJu M show.. he's so funny.. and when Teukie kissed all of the SuJu members to slp, Hangeng was the extraordinary one.. and in his cyworld, he called himself "韩庚 韩庚 韩庚, 庚饭 庚饭 庚饭", which makes me like him even more! haha..)
