Jane Talks!

I was driving my parents to Changi Ferry terminal today and i was intrigued by the place, Changi. I personally have been to Changi a couple of times but never have i have such a revelation of that place. Did you know that the place is quite diversified? You see planes in 1 place, then when you drive further you see changi prison and beside it changi village where you knows what happens at night. A little further up, you see rich people playing golf and right beside it, a military base camp. Why is that??

Believe it or not, this blog has been here for 2 years. (Can’t believe how tokative i am) Nevertheless, it seems like yesterday when i was struggling to think of what to write in my blog. I thought to myself that i can’t write without a theme or goal to this blog so i decided to use my teenie talent of humour to write things such as Top 10 list, unfortunate things that happen to me occasionally or it could just purely be things that i see that give me inspirtation.

Believe me, i didn’t start this blog because i want to gain any form of popularity but i am glad that there is some readers who do supports me for what i write and never gives up even though it is just so tough to just leave behind a comment on my blog. (This one not my fault) Of course there are secretive readers who shall not be named because i don’t know who they are.

So what can you expect from this blog for the next few years? More serious discussions on politics.

Nah… Me talk about politics…. makes me wanna go to (zzzzzz) But let me assure you that it will still be filled with humour & entertainment but occasionally, a few spiritual insights to encourage my christian buddies. Pastor always teach us that man without a vision will perish, therefore my blog shall have a vision so here is a top 10 list of things to expect from my blog for the next few years.

Ps 61:2 … When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than i.."

I was pretty encouraged by this verse as i was reading the Bible one night cos i was feeling discouraged & sian to where my life is right now. Somehow, thru this verse, God gave me a vision. He brought me to this place where it is the highest point of the city where you can overlook the whole city. (Not sure whether i am in Sg but nevertheless…) Looking at it from a high point, you see almost every activity going on down there. Some of the people are losing their loved ones, some are suffering from depression, some are in lack of money, some are down with sickness that cannot be cured.

Maybe thats how God looks down from Heaven and look into the many lives of people. When i was looking at the bad events going on around the people’s lives, suddenly i felt that my own problem doesn’t seem to be so big and overwhelming anymore. Thats when i felt God telling me on the part "Lead me to the rock that is higher than i" - means that problems turn smaller when you go up higher & look at God’s view upon the earth.

Guess what i am trying to say is life is short, always make sure that you are on the happy side of things. Even when things don’t turn out the way they should, lighten up and move on. You are definately not the worst case of problems in this world.

Last Sunday, CCC band came by CHC to minister and i must say that their music has indeed went up to another level. Being impressed, i went to buy their CD after the service. Usually there is an autograph session for every band that comes by the church but i don’t usually queue up for signatures because i don’t like to queue. However, for that day when i was done with the purchase, i realised that the queue wasn’t that long. I kind of hesitated but my members encouraged me to do it. I was also ironically the last person to be allowed to queue for autograph. (It was so meant to be… or is it)

So i went and queued and little that i realised that people might spot me queuing… great… 1st time queuing for such things, gana spotted by so many people… Frankly speaking, i was quite nervous. (Don’t know why) maybe it is because it is CCC band… (Could it be the anointing?) ok, i think too much… but when it came to my turn, i remained cool until Joe pringle had to strike a tiny conversation with me & my response to that turned out was so silly. (Sorry, not going to tell you what is it) Great… i thought… i made a fool out of myself infront of Pst Pringle’s son.

To prevent myself from getting into my own foolish trap again, i decided to come up with a list of things to prepare myself before i go for some autograph session in the future. (Well, you can use it if you find any useful)

TOP 10 THINGS I MUST DO BEFORE I GO FOR ANY BAND’S AUTOGRAPH SESSION:-

10. First of all, ask my friend who is in the queue to do it for me.

9. If not,  pretend to look busy and try not to have eye contact with anyone esp with someone i know who spotted me queuing.

8. Be determined not to say anything, just smile and be cool.

7. If they have to ask me "how am i", i will reply "good" and say nothing else.

6. If i happen to be nervous again…well… i will try not to.

5. Think to myself.."Do i really need the autograph?"

4. Remember that the band consists of human beings just like you and i.

3. Keep the previous CCC autograph session in mind. (*_*)

2. Re-enact with friends for practise before the REAL autograph session.

1. Be myself but NOT too much.

Yes, some of you are wondering where did i fly to last week. The truth is that i was having my exams & i was busying studying. I must say that it wasn’t easy esp when i haven’t been studying for a while after since my poly or bible school days. Mugging was not something i look forward to esp when it always leads me to feeling heaty due to lack of sleep from all the studying. Guess i am just not the study type but i do hope to score well. Pls pray for me if you are my christian friend. Thanks!

Oh well… moving on.. Today i would like to talk about man & why some of them are labelled "henpecked". Basically, i think that henpecked is such a negative word to start with. I think a better word to describe them is ‘loving wife/gf more’. To some, many think they are afraid of their wife/gf but if you really think about it, men are so much stronger & bigger than women. Imagine a big elephant being scared of a tiny mice if you would. They can easily take women let alone,they are being called to be the leader in the relationship.

Other negative labels of ‘loving wife more’ includes easy, no-opinion, push-over, beck-n-call, quiet, easily bullied etc. Positive labels (yes there is) include gentlemen, free-spirited, not-legalistic, open-minded, aims to please, not grudging, ready to serve & most importantly, an unconditioned lover. See?? More positive labels than the negatives ones.

To conclude, here are Top 10 demonstrations of love when a man loves a woman:-

TOP 10 THINGS OF WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN:- (Some are real life e.gs)

10. Continues to eat wives’ cooking for 10 years but never complains that her cooking is bad & mostly uncooked.

9. She sells his old but precious radio set for 50 cents to Gurang Guni man and says nothing.

8. Does all the household chores for their entire marriage.

7. Hardly goes shopping, eat plainly everyday & forgos buying PS3 just to get you a 25 carat diamond ring.

6. Gives you his credit card to purchase branded bags n shoes even though he can’t understand it.

5. Turns & look at you whenever he says something, afraid to say something wrong & anger you.

4. You put on tons of weight but he still thinks that you are sexy.

3. Doesn’t even argue, just let you win in everytime. (If you know what i mean)

2. Your driving is making him go mad inside but just sits there, not saying a word.

1. Puts 200% in the relationship when you only put in 100%.

Seriously speaking, i don’t think there is a guy out there who can fulfill all 10 of the things listed but if your guy fulfills 1, thats not too bad already. Remember, it is not henpecked.. it is loving more!
