What happened on my birthday?

Was looking up wikipedia for research, and came across this:

Things that happened on 25th feb:

Incidently, thats my birthday

February 25: National Day in Kuwait (1950)

1570 - Pope Pius V issued the papal bull Regnans in Excelsis to excommunicate Queen Elizabeth I and her followers in the Church of England.

1836 - Samuel Colt (pictured) received a patent for a "revolving gun."

1921 - The Democratic Republic of Georgia was occupied by the Soviet Red Army.

1951 - The first Pan American Games opened in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

1986 - EDSA Revolution: Corazón Aquino was inaugurated as President of the Philippines, as Ferdinand Marcos fled the nation after 20 years of rule.


=============================================

I honestly think that people being excommunicated from the Church of england is pretty cool stuff to happen on that day.

And it is comforting to know that even if no one remembers my birthday, a whole nation of kuwait is celebrating the day which i was born....

yes, it is a cheap thrill, but other thrills are way too expensive for my wallet.

=p

Rain... falling on my finger tips..... (madonna)

Its been 3 months into my work and in all honesty, I’m glad to be employed, although the student in me still wants to jump out and say, I WANNA STAY UP LATE!!!!!!!! I WANNA HANG OUT TILL THE WEE HOURS OF THE NIGHT WITH MY FRIENDS!!!! AND WAKE UP LATE THE NEXT DAY!!!!!!!

However, reality is far from the above scenario. If anything, I really must work hard, its like, I don’t seem to be pulling my weight around the office and it really demoralizes me. Trying to find work or readings by myself so that I will be useful in the next meeting.

But then the ugly side of me appears, where I want to slack, and when the room to slack is so open, its hard to say no.

Lord, let me be a better worker, let me glorify You.

My anthem lately has been 3 verses,

Galatians 6: 9-10 -
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.


Colossians 3:22-24 –
Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.


2 Timothy 1:7-
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.


===========================================================

With that, I’m thankful for the things I have in my life.

Taiyong- faithful, true and loyal as a brother.

Chris- ever my brother in arms, during the good times and the bad times.

Daniel- His discipleship which has benefited me to no end. Where would I be in Christ without him?

J- Things have never been normal with J and me, but if anything, he is a big part of my life, as a brother and as a potential brother-in-law.

Luzanne- As goose-bump inducing as this may sound, the love of my life, my soul mate, my best friend.

Janice- So much in common, and guess that’s why at times we rub off the wrong way but yet, so thankful for her presence in church and my life.

Mom and Dad- Respect them so much for the things they did for the family, but yet I go bleah….. whenever they act like typical parents again. I think it really has been after I went to uni and started to grow up finally did I appreciate them and did they open up to me. Grateful

Emmeline, melanie and melissa- my 3 angels, or rascals, depends on whether they are on a sugar high or if they are being sweet. These 3 gals bring me much joy and fun.

Sylvia- someone who remembers me again and again. My dearest sister.

MayKwan and Sook Kwan – Cousins who although I meet like 1once every 2 years, but yet never fail to have a connection with me.

Shuyi- my JC "life coach. Hope things are well with her.

So why I’m I so nostalgic all of a sudden? I don’t really know.

Maybe it’s the rain, or the dreams I have of my secondary school days, or my frequent encounters with my friends who never fail to bring up the past.

Or maybe its because I smell marriage in the air.

Hmmm…..
