What I think about HOUSE

It has been a while since I last wrote an entry and I apologise to those who have been visiting my blog and have been disappointed with the lack of updates.

My new part-time job at HOUSE has been keeping me busy, but I'm loving it at the same time as I get to meet very interesting and awesome people but best of all get to see old friends whom I lost complete contact with.

Last night, I ran into two of my track and field juniors from Crescent and it was a pleasant surprise. It was good catching up with them and making sure that they enjoyed their experience at HOUSE.

On Valentines Day, I got pulled back to work as they were short-handed on their staffing. I cancelled my plans and made my way down dragging my feet as I found it was a sad case that I had to spend Valentines' Day at work but also psyching myself up to make the best of the night. Everything turned out well in the end, as I ended up bumping into my ex-lecturers from NJC and I am patiently waiting to see if I can give a motivational talk at my old JC.

I believe all things happen for a reason and we as individuals need to see the light amongst every situation. Its a hard technique to master but it is really all a matter or perspective and a choice to see things in a positive angle.

I highlight in my book about that we as individuals are an aggregate of our choices in life. We are a sum of all the information we choose to retain and recall from books, tv, movies, music, all the choices you made at different situations, the challenges you decided to take on and those you decide to avoid....etc...

However, I mention that you aggregate defines your present but your future need not be the same as something your choose to do or someone you choose to let into your life could have taught you something that transforms your life. This element/lesson/revelation can screw your whole aggregate, making you an entirely different person.

But again, as I emphasize, it all start with what you choose to do and what you allow to affect your mindset, heart, emotions and even spirit.


I need to run off the HOUSE for work again so I'll complete my entry later in the afternoon or sometime over the weekend.

I will be posting information on my book on this blog, so please write in to give me your insights and perspectives on things.

GOD BLESS

I'm the New PR for HOUSE @ Dempsey

Hi everyone,

I know its been ages since I last made a posting cause too many things have been happening over the last few weeks. So here's a quick update with what's been happening in the month of January.

For my personal life, its been a series of ups and downs. Been meeting many people but no one has particularly caught my eye. I'm someone who takes relationship very seriously as I tend to get very or should very overly EMO. I feel the pains of the other party and internalize and carry their burdens, even when not asked to....I try to be more self-centered but can't cause that's just who I am. So i'm trying to distant myself and remain relatively cold and wary cause I afraid to be hurt and heartbroken again.

I believe a lot in peer and parent acceptance and approval of your to be boyfriend as your friends and family only have your best interests at heart and want the best for you. So that on top of talking about deep issues are my pre-reqs before getting into another relationhsip as i'm just tired of the whole 'game' especially when you don't see eye to eye with the other party. Being honest is the key, I feel  otherwise its just a waste of time and money for both sides...

okay, enough on relationships....

My book is moving along great. I've got Kelvyn Foo to help me out as my copywriter and we have been meeting up almost every other day. So that's been pretty awesome. To top things off, Kenny Toh, the columnist for Mind your Body for the Straits Times on Parenting...loves my idea and wants to be my mentor and help out....isn't that pretty sweet!

On top of that my new job as the new PR of House @ Dempsey allows me to meet a lot of interesting and fun-loving individuals who are not only well-connected but also very passionate about what they do in life. These are all stepping stones to my ever increasing network and I thank God for blessing me.


I am happy with my life at this moment despite the many different things that I am involved in.

Checking out for now........

Devotions~being led by the Spirit of God part 1

Hi everyone,

I have been committing to type out a lot of good sermons and messages to a lot of people but have yet to do so....but I promise that i'll try my best to at least summarize the key verses on my future blog entries.....

For today's entry, I just want to share some inspirations that I got from a great book that Mike lent me. Its titled "How You Can Be Lead by the Spirit of God" by Kenneth E.Hagin.

I totally recommend that you all get a hold of this boook as there are a lot of golden nuggets of truths and power in it. I will share those that have spoken to me but I can't possibly share all without re-writing the whole book on my blog....so get a copy of it if you can:)

Insipiration 1: The Lamp of the Lord

The spirit of man is the candle (lamp, light buld...) of the Lord, searching all the inwards parts of the belly" ~Proverbs 20:27

Children of God can expect to be led by the Spirit of God. God will enlighten and guide us through our Spirits.

Many the times we seek the suidance by every other means but God and we normally get into trouble when we do so. I used to think that God speaks to his children by feelings which could be expalined through our physically senses. I used to think that maybe I'll feel a specific warmth or coolness and only then that I will know it is from God.

But God speaks to us to our spirits. God said that the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, not the body or our intellect which is our mentality.

In order to fully understand this concept, you need to understand the nature of man

INSPIRATION 2: Man: An Eternal Spirit

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness....So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him. ~ Genesis 2:26,27

Man and yes that includes Woman too is spirit being, make in the likeness of God. Jesus said that GOD is a Spirit (John 4:24) Therefore, man must of necessity be a spirit.

Man is a spirit, he has a soul, and he lives in a physical body (1 Thess 5:23)

Even when we K.O or die, our spirit still lives on. That part of man is eternal. Spirit can never die and man is spirit.

There is an inward and outward man. The outward man is not the real you. It is only the house in which you live in. The inward man is the real you. The inward man never grows older. He is renewed day by day. So no need for anti-wrinkle cream or liposuction sessions:)

The inward man is a spirit man.

In Romans 8:14 it says "...as many are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." Then verse 16 give us insights into how the Spirit of God leads us "The Spirit itself beareth withness with our spirit, that we are the children of God." In other words, the Spirit of God bear withness with the spirit of man.

Our inward man is in our heart.
"But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is incorruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price" ~1 Peter 3:4

In many places when the Bible speaks of the heart, it is speaking of the spirit. This is the real man. It will help you in your believing and in your faith to think like that. You can substitute the word heart for spirit when you are reading the New Testament, to get a clearer picture of what the Bible is talking about.

It is the spirit of man that is born again.
"Therefore is any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" ~2 Corinthians 5:17

This verse is talking about the inward man, and how you become a new creation when your spirit is born again in Christ.


INSPIRATION 3: SPIRIT-Conscious

Note: that we are Spirit beings, with a soul living in a physical body once again. Remember that we are lead by our Spirit and it is only through our spirit that God speaks and reveals things to us.

We need to specifically learn how to differentiate between our emotions, mind and intellect which is our soul from our spirit. It is easy to know what is not body but mastering how to differentiate between soul and spirit takes time seeking God.

Sometimes we are more mental-conscious because we live more in the mental realm, we need to fall back on logic or on what is normal or physically possible. We especially think this way cause we are constantly bombarded by advertisements that we block out what are the truths.

We need to learn how to by-pass the mental-consciousness and go straight to the spirit-consciousness. Its hard and i'm still learning how to tune into it. I know a lot of people who have gotten so much favour from God because they heard directly from God on where to go and what to do next. If we try to put logic on everything, we will firstly, move a lot slower, accomplish less and worst of all fall into pits where we struggle and not achieve anything fruitful at all.

Many of us....that's including me....are guilty of sayign that we are too busy for God. And we go about, rushing around from work, play, gymming, gaming, drinking....etc etc....

Sometimes, i'm so busy with useless stuff. I rush around just because I don't like wasting time. And at the end of the day, realise that nothing was accomplished. However days that I seek God first, he restores the time spent with him with favour after favour and make my remaining hours a lot more productive.

So i'm going to end off this entry for today as I need to meet my designer friend Benno. I hope you were able to take away some important points.....I've got a lot more to share in the upcoming entries.

Love you

Jacyln:)
