Xiao Zhang and Xiao Fang are rather skilful in their massaging!

I tried the promotional $38 for 40min foot therapy plus massage plus 20 min head, neck, shoulder, back massage. Also added on $15 to "cut out" my callus on my feet. she did quite a clean job at removing the callus and the corn. :)

Thumbs up!

The indonesian maid

My maid recently faced some financial difficulties but wanted to go home to rest after this contract ends.

Kena cheated by her agency that she would have to forfeit 6 mths of her salary if she goes home. They previously told her it's only 4 mths, and she paid the deposit.

Now she's thinking of a transfer instead of going home. So sad. no rest for her :( I really think she needs a well-deserved rest.

(My mother would want to return home as a full-time housewife as she wants to retire from working.)

I really admire the spirit of maids, really. and her love for her family to keep her going. (even though I think her mother is quite mean to ask her not to go back so often in order to earn more money... and keeps cutting her sister's allowance. the mother may be keeping a sum of money for herself.)

If I were a maid.... I dunno what to say do!

The MCYS surveyor

I was surveyed by MCYS regarding gambling. The surveyor asked about demographics such as religion. As a brother-in-Christ, he noted that I was the only and first person in my family to be a Christian. And he says:

Acts 16:31

New International Version (©1984)

They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved--you and your household."

I'm still waiting patiently for God's work to be done in my family. and that would be very good news :)

Learning how to pray - How do I start?

I was looking for some "protocol" of how to pray. This link looks useful

Here are some simple steps to structure our prayer time.

Adoration: Spend time praising and worshipping God. Acknowledge who He is. Praise Him for His attributes of faithfulness, goodness, power, mercy, and love. “I will praise him from the bottom of my heart: ‘LORD, who can compare with you? Who else rescues the weak and helpless from the strong? Who else protects the poor and needy from those who want to rob them?’” (Psalm 35:10).

Confession: Confess our sins to the Lord, because He always forgives us. Confession is a daily cleansing exercise. “But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong” (1 John 1:9).

Thanksgiving: Give thanks to the Lord for the many blessings He has given us. Thank Him for the big and small things in our lives. These are the blessings that we easily take for granted. “Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever” (1 Chronicles 16:34).

Supplication: Present our requests to God. God is our Father and He is delighted when we come to Him with our requests. “Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done” (Philippians 4:6).

The above steps are examples of the many ways we can learn how to pray. Some people like to get up early in the morning to pray, while others prefer night time. People enjoy talking to God while they take a walk, and others like to write silent prayers into journals. Many read Bible passages and turn them into prayers. When needs arise in the middle of our busy days, we can whisper a short prayer and God will hear.

I believe that God honors us when we come to Him as we learn how to pray. Prayer takes a whole new meaning when we realize that Christianity is a relationship, not a mere religion. Relationships are strengthened through sharing. Prayer strengthens not only our faith, but our love relationship with Jesus. The only key to an effective prayer is prayer itself. “Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful apart from me” (John 15:4).

Laptop backpack

I want to buy this bag..........

I'm an FON. lalala.

I bought a Mr Bean pancake near one of the exits and made my way to the exit across the other end. However, I was being shouted by a lady staff in her 40s-50s standing behind the barrier, pointing her finger at me as I was already starting on my pancake while finding my way out to the exit. ( I wasn’t even dropping any crumbs onto the floor.) In fact, my friend and I are not sure which exit it is, so we also asked her the directions. While she was talking to my friend about the directions, my natural response was to continue with my pancake. Amidst her conversation with my friend, again she pointed her finger at me and shouted across 5 metres and said “Can you stop that?” To me, I was already going to get out of the station, and in fact, I do not view myself as INSIDE the station since it was somewhat near the other exit, which was as around how close Mr Bean was to the exit. I really felt embarrassed by her public accusation, as if I was a primary school child and I felt that it was because I was in my exercise attire and looked rather young.

I would like to get the message across that the staff making the accusation should do it in a tactful manner. I am one of the in-charge of a store and even in cases of shoplifting, we would ask in a tactful manner to search the bag. Therefore, no matter what type of accusation it is, there should be professionalism with dealing with it. I was feeling very appalled and disturbed by the accusation.

Another feedback is that Chinese Garden MRT (where I usually take my trains) has a Mr Bean outlet too. However, commuters can sit near the control station (on the side where the pebbles and plants are) to enjoy their food. Commuters can walk across from 1 exit to another with Mr Bean in their hands and not being accused like that. Is there a standardised agreement across all MRT stations? Should there be a delineation marked out? I personally felt that there should be some flexibility, on the grounds that we are a civilised society. For example, a person holding on to an ICE CREAM crossing to the other exit after getting it from one of the exits, should be allowed to lick their ice cream since it could have melted and dirtied the floor. This is just pure common sense.
