Recently, I felt guilty, and I apologized to a friend.

Recently, I felt guilty, and I apologized to a friend. The God reminded me of the story of King David, who sinned. He killed Bathsheba’s husband because he wanted the girl, he made up lies, he committed adultery with Bathsheba. And yet when Nathan confronted him, he said, “I have sinned against the Lord.” Only after he confessed his sin, the Lord rained punishment on Him. Therefore, today, only after you realise you are a sinner, only are you able to accept the sacrificial lamb son of the Living God Jesus Christ. But that’s not my point.

So I realise David did not apologize to Nathan (the rebuker), to the people he harmed (Bathsheba and her late husband), to the warriors and messengers he made use to carry out this sin with deceit, to his firstborn with Bathsheba (striked down to atone for David’s sin). His apology was to the Lord. And to the Lord only. And even his confession of sin was sin towards the Lord, not towards the people. He said, “I have sinned against the Lord.” (2 Samuel 12:13)

So sometime I tend to apologize or feel condemned so easily, not realising the world doesn’t really want to have the power to forgive you. We are embarrassed when someone apologise to us. Sometimes I think I would rather not have you do me wrong than a thousand apologies. God has the power to forgive you. In fact, when you know you are forgiven by God, apologizing to people wouldn’t come with all that emotional baggage and accepted with much more grace. Real apology comes from knowing you are forgiven first.

Sleeping Booths! This was my idea!

I can just imagine the ad go: “I’ve always had a busy life, sometimes i work the whole night and have a morning presentation. By noon, I usually am ready to collapse. Now I can collapse in a sleeping booth. Sorta like a phone booth, or a washroom cubicle, but so much better.”

Seriously, the above? Is all me.

When you see Blangadesk construction workers sleeping on the grass, do you need to think twice about sleeping booths?

When you hear colleague complaining about being tired, do you need to think twice abotu sleeping booths?

Napping in toilet cubicles can be bad for you, as shown in Duff’s case, who got arrested while napping inside a portable toilet. No one is clear why is he arrested.

Do I hear hotels? Hotel 81?

NO! I mean like a portable sleeping booth, like a vending machine filled with snacks, except Sleeping Booth is filled with silence, tranquility and quality rest, a place to interpret dreams if you may. It is completely sound-proof, and has lots of stuff to help u destress. And is limited to 30minutes of use at a cheap price.

Entrepreneur Seminar, New Creation Church, 2009

My question was, “I am an enthusiastic and passionate entrepreneur. (Always chiong chiong type) How do I make plans, be organized and make sure I am walking in God’s way?”

Her answers from the Word of God:
Keep hearing lo.
Ask God to send godly counsels.
Worship before you plan and do.

She ended off with saying, sometimes pastor’s preaching can be a form of hearing God’s word for me too. I’m surprised she did not bring out the part about anointing oil, because I’ve got problems with that. I’m glad God came down to my level!

I’m actually very nervous and do not know how to ask God for it. But when I think about it, it is because I do not believe God will be that generous. Or that willing. Then I have to go back to Jesus. Why did Jesus come? Why did Jesus die?

Pitfalls of An Entrepreneur: Escape.

.com button/keys on the keyboard like that of an iphone

i wish we have a “.com” button on the mac keyboard. Funny how Apple thought of it for the iPhone but not the keyboard. There are 2 Command keys on the keyboard, one on the left, one on the right, why not take one out and replace it with “.com”!

Peace from the Lord from having been used by Him

How many know that living by the Spirit is wonderfully encased in a force of joy and protection? Your mother could be screaming at you at none of your fault, an enemy could be hurling insults at you, you could be heartbroken at a fallen relationship, but you would be smiling from the inside out, not because you are forced to, but because you know you have done God’s will for you, you are used by God, you have been shown kindness by God by having given the vision and wisdom to God’s plan for this world and how you are part of it. Ah! So exciting!

Dinner doesn’t taste better or worse. You do not feel happier or more sad. Smiles from others doesn’t seem like a reward after the argument. The rainbow does not look shinier after the rain. What you have is Peace. Inner strength and stability. That’s because your joy comes from THE LORD! And no one can take that away from YOU!

Combining the Sims and Second Life

How come no one thought of that? The Sims could interact with each other. Your Sim could buy from my Sim. Our Sims can go on living their own lives, without any trouble while I am offline. By owning Sims more than 1 avatar, I have a better reach. And then Electronic Arts and Maxis can solve the problem of thinking up more neighbourhoods for the Sims game. Because the neighbourhoods would be created by the gamers.

Memorable Quotes of the day

Just reading. Not even reading more than usual. In fact, less than usual. But found some really awesome awesome quotes.

Jeff Immelt, CEO of General Electric, once said, “When you run G.E. there are 7 – 12 times a year when you have to say ‘you’re doing it my way’. If you do it 18 times, the good people will leave. If you do it 3 times, the company falls apart.”
