Thursday, April 28th, 2005

Guess no one has wriiten any comments to me so far. Sad… Anyway, i like to talk about motivation today. I find that motivation is very important esp on the things that you are doing. Many people like to ask me for help because i am easy and i find that one gift that God gave me was the ability to ENJOY helping people if i can.

However, i don’t mind a little motivation if u want any of my help. So here are top 10 ways to keep me, Jane motivated.

TOP 10 WAYS TO KEEP ME MOTIVATED
10. Enourage me that i am doing a great job.

9. Rewarding monetary will also be nice (Not compulsory unless u felt lead to give)

8. Treat me nicer in the future.

7. Do the job together with me.

6. Only ask me to help out in somthing that i love to do only.

5. Remember to thank me.

I couldn’t ask for a better weekend. Maybe this is how God rewards those who faithful went for the ‘live’ recording for the past 3 days. (Just an innocent thought)

Red is a colour for swollen

Wednesday, April 20th, 2005

Man, i am so tired from the past 2 nights of ‘live’ recording, i woke up today with my hair standing up, ears that are 1/4 damaged and lip that is red n swollen. Yes, my lips turns red n swollen when i start to get heaty. Last night, it was great fun but it was also quite tiring. Indeed, age is catching up on me. Tiff and i were looking at each other and only seeing half of each other cos our eyes were so exhausted.

So here’s a silly list of mine of reasons why you have red swollen lips, just to lighten people that are reading this. Those of you attending the last round of ‘live’ recording, let’s do it! <grids teeth>

TOP 10 REASONS WHY YOU HAVE SWOLLEN RED LIPS

10. Accidently ate too much chilli.

9. Too much lipstick.

8. Having a silly competition with your friend on how long you can hold having a clothes peg clipped to your mouth.

7. Heatiness symdrome like me.

6. You are Ronald McDonald.

5. You are Michael Jackson.

4. You accidently kissed the floor boards.

3. Mistake made by your plastic surgury surgeon.

2. Allergy to certain type of food.

1. Nothing, you are just born with red, swollen lips.. (Sad case for u)

“Live” here in City Harvest

Tuesday, April 19th, 2005

If you were there for ‘live’ recording practice last night, you would have known that you can expect a greater recording tonight and tomr night. Indeed we grew from glory to glory, it was very much different from the ‘future’ album we did a few years back. I had a good time grooving with the music.. singing and singing till i felt that my voice was a little dry from the humidity and most importantly, the fire of God within the congregation. We were all tired at the end of the day but our hearts were filled with expectancy of what God was doing in the church.

Meanwhile, we do need to do some stuff before we can prepare ourselves for the big 2 nights ahead of us. Here are some suggestions;

TOP 10 THINGS TO DO TO PREPARE YOURSELF FOR ‘LIVE’ RECORDING:-

10. Good rest and any kind of rest that you will have time for.

9. Colour or have your hair cut before the recording. (Yeah, we in CHC LOVE colours on our heads)

8. Say ‘no’ to chilli. Say ‘yes’ to "Liang Cha".

7. Put on your dancing shoes cos we are dancing!!

6. Shift your mindset from Charismatic to Anglican because there is alot of standing and sitting.

5. Wear bright coloured clothes or else you will not be able to pass through security.

4. Clap softly but sing louder. Repeat after me: "Clap soft, Sing Loud!"

3. Look and smile naturally if the cameras comes to you. Don’t try to over-do it to prevent looking spastic.

2. Be spontaneous!! Praise like you never praise before, if you have never lift your hands up high during worship, this will be a good time.

1. Pray for the singers, musicians and all that is involved in the recording. They have worked really hard, let’s continue to keep them in prayer.

Ridiculous happens!

Monday, April 18th, 2005

Just wondering were there times in your life where the most ridiculous situation happens? You were out the whole day and u realised you forgotten to zip up your pants, or you were so sleepy at work that the moment u woke up, u found that u have wet all ur documents with ur saliva.

Truth is, it happens to everyone and at the end of the day, you don’t know whether to look embarassed or laugh at the whole entire situation. To those of you who can relate to what i am saying, take a look at this Top 10 and laugh at the good times.

TOP 10 MOST RIDICULOUS SITUATIONS:-

10. You were so sleepy that you actually wore your pyjamas to work/school.

9. You ripped your pants while bending to pick up a piece of paper.

8. You accidently wore your mum’s clothes out.

7. While driving, one of the wheels in your car dropped off and went straight into the sea.

6. You accidently pee in your pants.

5. You went into the wrong gender toilet and waited for everyone in the toilet to go out before you escaped.

4. The zipper of your pants snapped.

3. Your hair gets caught in a tree bush.

2. Bird droppings fell into your drink and your unnoticed friend drank a bit.

1. Everything that is mentioned above happened to you in just one day. (*_*)

Machines.. Helper or Hazard?

Sunday, April 17th, 2005

Do you happen to encounter times when every machinery you own seems to screw you now and then? Whether it is your computer corrupted by viruses, handphone for no reason hangs and u can’t make calls or cars that break down when you are in the middle of the highway.

Truth is machines won’t break down by itself if not for frequent usage and probably abused to its maximum. However, there are times when you really need it to stand by you but it just breaks down. Yup, machines are not like dogs, its not faithful and neither does it respond no matter how much you yell or kick it. By the time you know it, you have to spend loads of money to change its parts and still, it won’t work as well when it was brand new. It’s like when you sprained your ankles and even if you recover, you will not be able to walk or run as fast as you used to.

So here are some suggestions on how you can have a long -term and healthy relationship with your machines.

SOME SUGGESTIONS TO HAVE HEALTHY MACHINERY:-

1. Take it to the neccessary doctors for regular check-ups.

2. Yes, machines need to rest too. Remember to switch off after using it.

3. Never feed it with anything that is cheap or pirated. Buy genuine stuff. (Imagine eating Cabbury chocolates or cheapo brand chocolate, just doesn’t taste the same)

4. Invest in sandbags for your frustration, not your machinery.

5. Cleaning it once in a while.

6. Try other activities in your life rather than having your life surrounding only around machines. They sick of looking at u too..

Ok, not my best of suggestions. I will try harder tomr. @_@

Anyway, yesterday i accidently cracked my mum’s car light shield and it will cost her $170 just to replace it. Gasps.. Is all the lorry’s fault! Why parked at the place where cars will find it hard to reverse.

I was kinda of in anxiety when i stared at the cracked spot for a few minutes. For a moment, the whole world stopped turning, everything stopped moving, everywhere was black and white except for me and the dent on the car. (Yes, it was that dramatic) I am like, "How am i going to tell mum?" Then on my way home, i plotted with my sister on how i should tell my mum what i did. Here are the top 10 ones that i prefered. You can use them too if you want. Haha…

JANE’S TOP 10 STARTING OFF LINES BEFORE TELLING HER MUM THAT SHE IS SORRY

10. "Mum, did you have a beautiful day?…. "

9. "Mum, do you feel beautiful today?…."

8. "Mum, i got something to tell you, could you please sit down and put away the chopper for a while? …"

7. "Mummy, just to confirm that i am your daughter right? … "

6. Kneel before her.

5. "Mum, if someone happen to broke your car light shield, what would you do to this person? I suggest to be merciful…."

4. "Mum, the word forgiveness means to PARDON the act of excusing a mistake or offense. It also mean COMPASSIONATE(Speak aloud words in caps) feelings that support a WILLINGNESS to forgive…."

3. "Ehm… Mum, just want to bless you herewith some money…"

2. "Wah Mum, you wont believe what bad drivers Singaporeans are today. Thats why the percentage of accidents in Singapore is quite high. Oh ya..Speaking of which, i have something else to tell you…."
