Everyone has different experience in life, and our experience, personality leads us into different perspective in life.
There are many lens and schools of thoughts.
There are endless arguement througout the history, debating against who is right and wrong. But in fact there is no absolute right and wrong since there is only different of perspective.
But one thing which I believe and that you might or might not agree..
If one holds the perspective from God, that can never be wrong.
What men can see on earth from where he/she stands only provides her with certain views of life and his/her present situation.
But God from above, sees it all.
And how to view from the perspective of God is to stay close to God, reading His words, praying and understanding how God will see and react.
Just like a lover or your bestfriend. The more you love him/her and spend time interacting with him/her, you get to understand and knows how he/she will think and act.
There seems to be a complex equation which many cannot solve and I am blessed to gain certain insight and managing it pretty well.
That is the issue of God's will and Man's responsibility.
Just last week, I was having a friendly dedate with a German friend, talking abt life. Our discuss about God's will and God's control.
He is a Catholic whereas I am a Christian.
He does not agree that God has 100% control because he feels that the evil one (Satan) has some control which bad things happen to Men.
Its a difficult equation for men to understand..
One can only solve such equation by one formula...that is faith...
With faith I am able to understand what it means that everything is in the will of God yet men has 100% responsibility...
Check out the story of Test of Abraham by Satan...where Satan seek God for permission to take away everything which Abraham has to test God blessed him with everything he has...Did Abraham passed the test, initiated by Satan? Did Satan win?
Nope, in the end, God is right, Abraham remains faithful even when all he has had been taken away from him...In the end...God bless Abraham even more...
My personal belief is that I believe all happens for the good of those who love HIM (GOD)...even tho at this point of time it might seems negative...but if we strive on with Faith...knowing and trusting in God's good will....eventually we will see the light...
Ganbatte!!!
Trust in the Lord without seeing the current circumstance...
Remember...how Jesus calm the storm????

Busy-ness
Busy-ness is nothing new to me..
Each day trying my best to juggle with up coming events and surprises in life requires lots of strength and prayer.
Its God that makes everything possible!
Lately other than copping with studies, work load seems heavier for me.
Trying my best to help my bosses to take over whatever I can so that they can focuz in something more important and critical for them at this moment.
However, there is only one Angeline, no matter how hard I try...its limited of what I can do at the same time...I have only one brain, one pairs of hands and one mouth two ears...just like everyone..
Thus in the mist of taking over my bosses' workload or important project..at the same time I have to delay some of my minor projects..but at the same time struggling to avoid having my customers to feel neglected...
I must admit...I didn't do a good job...lately lost concentration...what my mouth speaks no longer tally with what my brain thinks...because my brain is too occupant with many matters to handle and how to solve the problems...
Good thing is...no mistake made..Praise the Lord..and for work which requires concentration and analysis of problem solving...it is still in good control..
Seriously...I am tired..esp trying to grab as many time as possible to do my revise for my study....Study is getting tougher esp it my last year and six mths before graduation or completing my degree..
Good thing is...my 1st year 1st semester's supplementary paper issue is finally settled after two years...somehow there is miscommunication in the school's admin that my decision two years back was not being brought forward correctly to our UK university that is why they keep sending me letters to remind me to go for my supplementary paper or infact as my 1st attempt of the paper taking into consideration the mishap I had back then. Out of good will the school want to let me retake that two papers so as to take as my 1st attempt for the exam so as to be fair to me. However that isn't what I wanted.
Esp year 3 is no joke.
This semester I have 4 modules, meaning 4 exams to take.
If I need to retake that two modules its going to be 6 exams...its going to be so stressful for me.
And so of course I opt for having them to keep my result as it is, since I can still pass with that result and it should not affect my final scoring for my Hons degree.
I do not want addition stress esp at this moment.
I need to concentrate in my work, my year 3 exams to make sure I do my best and score well if possible, at the same time copping with two sick dogs at home..and my new house renovation.
Planning to start the renovation beginning next month and move in beginning Dec and celebrate Christmas this year at our new place, tho its gonna be a smaller place.
Pray that renovation will goes well and my new house will be nice and cozy:))
Decided to send my dog (white dog) Ally for her operation next mth (oct).
The lump in her breast (likely to be breast cancer) is growing as big as my palm size. She is the closest to me..Tho she is still a happy 'girl' jumping around as if she is not sick..and always smiling, looking silly at me..everyday...that is why its even harder to accept that she is having this terrible sickness in here.
Pray that after the operation, she will be well again.
Too bad happenings around me...I pray oh Lord that You will show your grace and mercy not just to me, to my dog and people around me and their family...especially those in the struggle, fighting hard for the battle of life and death...Lord be with them and give them strength and hope in you.
How You extended my life about 18years ago...may You also extend the life of the little ones...even tho You mentioned that those who cannot differentiate the left and the right, not knowing right & wrong (the children), salvation is given to them, because God, You are Love!
Emmanuel, and God be our Strength!

Preparing a new place
Its the first time I am getting a house.
No, I am not getting married...sorry to disappoint you :)
I am getting a house with my siblings.
Moving nearer to my elder brother.
Never know that 'building' a house of your own could be that stressful and lots of things to take into consideration.
First..satisfying your parents yet not wanting them to ruin your 'idea concept of your house' because its your house.
Second, BUDGET...never know that renovating a house could cost so much and 20k cannot get you anywhere...you can only get the least and minimum.
Alot of hidden cost, such as lightings, heater, aircon, accessories, fan, electronic stuff, fridge, tv and so on...
Finally I got my 1st master bed room. Though I could get my bathtub. Its always being my dream to have my bath tube...never know buidling a bath tube could cost additional thousand over dollars...it over our budget...thus I have to wait till I get my bonus..hopefully I can get...then I can finally have my bath tube.
But that will not happen till probably next year.
Even getting my 1st queen size bed costed me S$900+...that is not with the ideal mattress which I want. I probably have to top up another S$200 to get that ideal mattress.
Our budget for each room is only S$2k. So I ended up getting only a wardrobe (customise-6feet) and a queen size bed. Others I will need to save up and add on later..bit by bit...Anyway, with that bed...currently already exceeded my budget by S$200..if to get a better one..will exceed by S$400...
I still have to buy the curtain for my room and the track and curtains for my bed...cuz I want to do up my 'princess-like bed'-something like a canopy bed.
A good thing for this renovation is that my sis is very supportive to how I wish the house to be done up. Thanks sis!
Our new house concept is cafe-relax style.
Each room will have its own theme tho.
Will probably settle which renovation company to use by this or next week.
Ideally will have house warming during this coming Christmas..and have our carolling group coming over to sing carols during christmas eve:)
May our Lord blessed this home!

同好友见面
昨天同我的死党好友Gilbert见面了.
他是我读书时非常要好的朋友;一个会真心关心我的朋友.
在他面前非常自在.他让我能够开怀的笑.
想想我们有接近两年没见面了.那老友的感觉还在.
我想这就是真正的友情吧!
不管多久没见面,甚至没联络;不会埋怨,
只有希望对方过得好.那就心满意足了!
向往常一样,他问"有没有好消息?"
我笑笑说:"没消息就是好消息."
他奇怪的看着我,问为何如此说.
我解释:"因为现在实在太忙了,纪要工作,读书,我没剩下多少时间能休息了.
我有时间就同家人在一起,要不就看韩剧或做一些自己喜欢的事.
对我来说很宝贵.根本没时间去谈恋爱.所以没有是件好事."
所谓恋爱-它虽甜蜜但同时要付出代价.
现在的我根本没法子.
工作和学业压力很大.
对我而言,恋爱虽是甜蜜的但也是痛苦的.
我不想同情人吵架,很伤神.
更不想受伤.已经没精力去克服这方面的事.
我想这是我目前的状况与心态吧!
我不否认单身难免也有寂寞的时候,特别是当你生病的时候好想有人关心疼爱甚至照顾你.
但是我还不是活得好好的吗？
问问,有多少爱人会在你生病时在你身边照顾你?
你的有吗?
如真的有,那你是幸福的!
所以说有"好消息,不见得就会比现在更好!"

URTI
Often got dignosed half yearly with URTI..
didn't really what what was it...but just read up from internet (wikipedia)the explaination..
just that it says adult don't get fever but I do...
Upper respiratory tract infections, (URI or URTI), are the illnesses caused by an acute infection which involves the upper respiratory tract: nose, sinuses, pharynx or larynx.
Definitions
Common URI terms are defined as follows:
Rhinitis - Inflammation of the nasal mucosa
Rhinosinusitis or sinusitis - Inflammation of the nares and paranasal sinuses, including frontal, ethmoid, maxillary, and sphenoid
Nasopharyngitis (rhinopharyngitis or the common cold) - Inflammation of the nares, pharynx,hypopharynx, uvula, and tonsils
Pharyngitis - Inflammation of the pharynx, hypopharynx, uvula, and tonsils
Epiglottitis (supraglottitis) - Inflammation of the superior portion of the larynx and supraglottic area
Laryngitis - Inflammation of the larynx
Laryngotracheitis - Inflammation of the larynx, trachea, and subglottic area
Tracheitis - Inflammation of the trachea and subglottic area
Etiology
Over 200 different viruses have been isolated in patients with URIs. The most common virus is called the rhinovirus. Other viruses include the coronavirus, parainfluenza virus, adenovirus, enterovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus.
Up to 15% of acute pharyngitis cases may be caused by bacteria, commonly Group A streptococcus in Streptococcal pharyngitis ("Strep Throat").
Influenza (the flu) is a more severe systemic illness which typically involves the upper respiratory tract.
Epidemiology
more than 300Transmission is via respiratory droplets or by virus-contaminated hands. Upper respiratory tract (nose, throat, sinuses) mucosa inflammation causes increased secretions, rhinorrhea and results in sneezing, and coughing facilitating the spread.
In United States URIs are the most common infectious illness in the general population. URIs are the leading reasons for people missing work and school. URI is the leading diagnosis in the office setting.
Signs and symptoms
Acute upper respiratory tract infections include rhinitis, pharyngitis/tonsillitis and laryngitis often referred to as a common cold, and their complications: sinusitis, ear infection and sometimes bronchitis (though bronchi are generally classified as part of the lower respiratory tract.) Symptoms of URI's commonly include cough, sore throat, runny nose, nasal congestion, headache, low grade fever, facial pressure and sneezing. Onset of the symptoms usually begins 1-3 days after the exposure to a microbial pathogen. The illness usually lasts 7-10 days.
Group A beta hemolytic streptococcal pharyngitis/tonsillitis(strep throat) typically presents with a sudden onset of sore throat, pain with swallowing and fever. Strep throat does not usually cause runny nose, voice changes or cough.
Pain and pressure of the ear caused by a middle ear infection (Otitis media) and the reddening of the eye caused by viral Conjunctivitis are often associated with upper respiratory infections.
URI, Seasonal Allergies, Influenza - Symptom Comparison
Treatment
There are currently no medications or herbal remedies which have been conclusively demonstrated to shorten the duration of illness. [5] Treatment comprises symptomatic support usually via analgesics for headache, sore throat and muscle aches. [6]
Judicious use of antibiotics can decrease unnecessary adverse effects of antibiotics as well as out-of-pocket costs to the patient. But more importantly, decreased antibiotic usage will prevent the rise of drug resistant bacteria, which is now a growing problem in the world.
Health authorities have been strongly encouraging physicians to decrease the prescribing of antibiotics to treat common upper respiratory tract infections because antibiotic usage does not significantly reduce recovery time for these viral illnesses.
Some have advocated a delayed antibiotic approach to treating URIs which seeks to reduce the consumption of antibiotics while attempting to maintain patient satisfaction. Most studies show no difference in improvement of symptoms between those treated with antibiotics right away and those with delayed prescriptions.
Most studies also show no difference in patient satisfaction, patient complications, symptoms between delayed and no antibiotics. A strategy of "no antibiotics" results in even less antibiotic use than a strategy of "delayed antibiotics". However, in certain higher risk patients with underlying lung disease, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), evidence does exist to support the treatment of bronchitis with antibiotics to shorten the course of the illness and decrease treatment failure.
Having said that, it is important to distinguish between strep and a viral sore throats because strep is caused by a bacterial infection -- Group A Streptococcus -- and a simple sore throat may be caused by other types of bacteria or viruses. Without the right antibiotics, the strep bug may enter the bloodstream and travel to the heart or other vital organs. Though rare, this can cause serious illness.
Bacterial complications of the viral URIs are also treated with antibiotics. These include sinusitis and otitis media.
According to a Cochrane review single oral dose of nasal decongestant in the common cold is modestly effective for the short term relief of congestion in adults; however, "there is insufficient data on the use of [Decongestants] in children." Therefore decongestants are not recommended for use in children under 12 years of age with the common cold. [11] Oral decongestants are, also, contraindicated in patients with hypertension, coronary artery disease, and history of bleeding strokes.
The use of Vitamin C in the inhibition and treatment of upper respiratory infections has been suggested since the initial isolation of vitamin C in the 1930s. Some evidence exists to indicate that it could be justified in persons exposed to brief periods of severe physical exercise and/or cold environments.
There is no evidence to support the age-old advice to rest when you are sick with an upper respiratory illness. In fact, moderate exercise in sedentary subjects with a URI has been shown to have no effect on the overall severity and duration of the illness. Based on these findings, it was concluded that previously sedentary people who have acquired a URI and who have initiated an exercise program may continue to exercise.
Increasing fluid intake, or "drinking plenty of fluids" during a cold is not supported by medical evidence, according to a literature review published in the British Medical Journal.

Down again with URTI
Every half yearly it seems that I will get hit by this illness called URTI..which I usually don't really bother to find out what is it...just some kind of sore throat..
and usually I will get fever up..highest hit 38degrees or so...
This time...not so bad..fever only up to 37.7 degrees..
Went Pulau Ubi for hiking on Monday 9 Aug which is our National Day "Happy Birthday Singapore"
Tuesday went back to work..was alright..
but Tuesday night send my dog Ally to the animal dog for its XRAY and blood test..costed us nearly S$300/-
Result: She needs operation which will cost appx S$500-S$800 to remove the huge baseball size lump on her breast...suspected as cancerous..tho she still looks healthy and bouncing around happily as usual...
I became more sick when I was at the vet...In fact I seems more sick than all the animals there..
next week..called for MC...
Doctor gave me one day mc....
Boss told me if next day still not well..just work from home..
who knows...after working from home on thursday...I got worst...lack of rest..
fever came back...so went to see Green Cross doctor...
They are good but expensive..
he gave me 6 medicine to take...and two days mc ask me to keep away from the crowd..
not to spread virus to others..
I called boss..he got a shock to hear how my voice changed...and he banned me from replying work email so that I will be good and rest and get well..
So Friday....I only read office email..but did not reply....
Heard from Aunt that granny whom I am closest to...went into unconscious...sent to hospital....I wanted to visit her very much but I can't...I am still weak at home...immune system not back yet..if I go to hospital...might end up getting stronger virus..

China trip changed my impression of CHINESE
Frankly speaking tho being a chinese myself -in Singapore, I did not have good impression of chinese from China.
Why So? I guess even chinese from different part of the world adopts different culture, principles or survival skills.
Many would agree with me the view of 'chinese'. They are 'not simple' people..
someone once told me..to speak to a chinese from China, your brain has to turn 10x faster...if you know what I mean.
My impression of Chinese did not change and grew even stronger..esp in Beijing...those people are rude...and sigh........
But things changed when I reached our hometown Quanzhou..near Xiamen.
The place..which is our original hometown...its a country side...
An amazing place..filled with the sweetest people on earth...pure, sincere and sweet till it melts your heart..
People there does not look any outstanding.............but after knowing them....their inner beauty leaves a deep impression that can hardly be erase from one's heart....
Our distant relative came in 3 cars after nearly 2 hours journey to fetch me and my family to our 'house' to stay.
Welcoming us is the air of the mother nature...and unique views of the country side...muds and whatever you can ever think of...
Our cars stopped at a nice 'posh' house among the old bricked house..its one of my uncle's house and my grandpa's house..which they built themselve...
It is also our Clan house I supposed.
The house was huge and nice...floor is made of marbles...so its very cooling...
The living room itself is as big as my present apartment I supposed..
Each house has a well and they uses electronic pump to pump the well water into the water tank on top of the roof for usage.
Meals were cooked over the stove by woods...not gas...first time in my life I actually see how they cook with wood and not gas...and everything we eat is freshly from our own farm or the neighbours/relatives farm, all freshly pluck from the field.
Food taste delicious....yummy...everyone esp dad's appetite got so good that they start eating bowls after bowls of rice.....
Its a short 4days stay with our relative and we bidded goodbye with tears in our eyes..my uncles start crying when we were at the airport bidding goodbye...
our hearts felt so heavy and sunk....I tried my best to hold back those tears of mine..indeed thank God for these wonderful trip...its really changed my impression of chinese from China...and I am proud to be from this same family line...
I will visit them whenever possible if we have the money...
My dad can't wait to go back there again..just like everyone of us...but seriously...
this China and HK trip has spent nearly my entire saving...and I have to start saving up again...
But first for my UK trip for my graduation in London next year.
May our Lord provide me with all my needs and bless me...thank you Lord for everything!

Trade shows this week
Has spiders made themselves home in my blog???
Sorry guys that I have been so busy that I didn't have time to update my blogs.
Currently in CommunicAsia 2010 in Singapore Expo.
Not much crowd over the communication side...I guess broadcasting side would be more interesting but my biz partner seems to be missing in this show bz collecting data and meeting people around the show..so I am left in this booth all by myself..
Good thing I gotten a mobile modem so that I can surf my internet and check office email and reply email here...otherwise I will be bored to death I supposed..
This week I am so occupied with trade shows..
Mon: spent half day in the office..and the other half of the day setting up in this trade show with my HK biz partner...its tough to do the setup just two of us...We finished off the setup about 6.30pm and I was so exhausted and hungry..had to miss my ASM class for Monday.
Tuesday: Woke up at 6.15am set off to the airport to catch my 8am flight to KL for the fire exhibition...all by myself...thanks to my shi fu...another HK biz partner who withdraw from going last min..leaving me all alone in our neighbouring country Malaysia.
Seriously this is the first time that I went to Malaysia all alone. I have never been a country all alone or should I say..at least I always have people I know to meet me in those countries I go even if I were to travel alone.
My lady boss was nice, she called me while I was in the KL exhibition to make sure I am fine and safe..ask me to be careful since I am all alone there. I guess ladies are more concern.
Mum was worried and asked sis to text me to see if I am alright and ask me to text her when I am safely home that night.
I took the KL airport limousine which about appx RM75 to reach the KL CC.
He is a nice guy SYED..and I made an arrangement for him to fetch me after the show and some walk around before I catch my 945pm flight.
After the fire exhibition I took a cab -base on the tips by SYED i.e. never to ask how much it cost to take a cab from one place to another..take only those taxi with meter (how do you know? its written on top of the taxi "Brotimeter" something like that..if they run by the meter they cannot overcharge u.
So it costed me RM6plus to reach Time Square.
I went there to eat and shop alittle..but after an hour..I am so tired..and wanna sleep..so exhausted and leg is aching...
So I called the Syed to pick me up at 6.45pm instead.
Meanwhile sis ask me to go to get something for mum so I went..there don't wanna waste my trip..so bought two shoes then Syed picked me up to go airport..we were early..syed saved me RM10 to airport..and if I were to take any other taxi..from the shopping mall..it probably can cost me over RM100.
Its a tired day for me...finally took the flight back to SIngapore..reaching home sweet home at about 11plus just before midnight..
then before I could even settle down, I had to give my dog lily injection for her kidney treatment. (Last week brought lily-my black dog to the Animal doctor and doctor said Lily has kidney failure needs injection of two tubes of medication every two days..initially doctor asked me to bring her there every two days for injection which will cost me S$25 each time..do u know how much it will cost me??? She has to take this medication until the day she finish her mission on earth.
I told the doctor we are all working and studying no money..and I have another sick dog at home. I cant afford and I have another dog with a huge lump which I will bring her for check up. Ally my white dog has a huge lump growing underneath her tummy..tho she is still happily jumping around and I know that she needs treatment before it gets worst. Pray that God will help us to settle without having much financial problems..God bless..
Do keep my dogs in prayer okie..Lily looks like getting better..and I am planning to bring Ally to the vet next week.
Anyway back to exhibition..after a day at KL exhibition...I came to help out the next day in CommunicAsia -Singapore expo.
And guess what, Joyce my best friend and Cindy my buddy happens to be working in this show too...we just have lunch together this afternoon.
Food here sucks..and is sooo expensive..the parking kills.....I am gonna get ready for heart attack this evening...hopefully won't cost my more than 20bucks....sweat...

Love is too expensive..
Good thing about being single is that you can get to meet someone new, hang out with whoever you like and enjoy your freedom as and when you like.
I recall a conversation with two friends...some times ago..
one who is attached but bf has no time for her..
the other is not attached like me..enjoying her freedom...
The conclusion to our conversation is, that grass always seems greener on the other side...
Those who are attached wants to be detach...those who are detect wants to be attached..
There is no doubt that there are many singles like me in Singapore...Men said we women in Singapore are too picky...whereas we women just didn't want to risk my future into an uncertain hands....
Recently I was seriously considering someone from a faraway country...
Things went pretty smooth in the begining, we start to look forward and dream about meeting each other in person and even think of our future together..
However, later we realised that we probably aren't suitable for each other..because we have different interpretation of expression of love, concern, appreciation and respect..
Why men doesn't understand that women needs to feel secure so that they can trust..
Why doesn't men know that women only need the simpliest things to be happy and feel appreciated????
I guess many things looks attractive on the outside but when you take a closer look at it...or start to possess it...you start to grumble about those imperfection found in it. Who in this world is perfect? If we are not perfect how can we ask for perfection or someone to be perfect or goes the same way or looks at the same perspective as us? Are we looking for a life partner or just a robot that does whatever you please, acts in the way you wanted?
These questions applies to me as well...
Some times I wonder if I can really accept some one to be my life partner when my Father in Heaven is so perfect..
I have been reminding myself that no one is perfect including me.
I think maybe I just haven't meet the right person whom I can accept and appreciate the person as he is ..having him to enters into my life..
I think this requires lots of faith and courage..
Love? I have no courage.
Just doesn't want to be hurt or feel sad again..
Unless I can overcome this...otherwise...I guess conclusion is...I am not ready for LOVE.
LOVE IS SOMETHING THAT IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO AFFORD..
