Comfort Zone.

Two weeks ago during the church camp retreat, my brothers and I prayed for God's love to shower on us, so that we would be able to step out from our comfort zone to accept and love "weird" people. God commands us to love our neighbors, enemies and ourselves. Honestly, we all have been depending on our worldly wisdom and human's strength to accomplish this purpose that we are called to fulfill. God answered our prayer, He has placed new faces in our midst, and then we start complaining to God: "Why him/her? Why not someone whom we can interact or communicate easier with?"

It was Fathers' day yesterday, put up a performance with brother Marcus during church service, and it was applauded with cheers from the crowd. Mission accomplished. A happy father's to all the dads out there in Singapore, and to God - our heavenly Father. Would there be a chance to perform outside in the society, such as community clubs or even in the prison?

One area of focus that I want to concentrate on would be - confidence. I realized my image is built on how I desire for people to look at me. It's tiring and I guess its also time to really sit back and reflect during the start of the 40 days fast & prayer. Irene shared on having a sense of identity and what integrity really meant in the eyes of God. If you asked, I believe that I have this sense of integrity, I mean it!

Often in my workplace, I have to move from one working cubicle to another as there are lots of space constraints in the office. In these different cubicles, my colleagues often put their coins and some valuables on their desk. I am always tempted to take the coins and buy coffee/tea during my unofficial break time, but thankfully I didn't.

During the submission of my time sheet, my supervisor would have to sign before sending it to Recruit Express. I asked him why he didn't wanna check if I had filled in the time sheet properly, he replied: "Aiya, I trust you la, there is no such need to check through thoroughly."

This also led me to an even deeper temptation - first get my supervisor's signature, then change the figures on the time sheet according to how I want it to be.

Sorry for the break down. Brazil just scored 2-0. Not in the mood for anything.
