Dream tat I cld walk
As I have told some of you that I have a dream and it seem so real to me. Well if you
want to know what is the dream I will tell you what is the dream about. It was on my
birthday on 26 Apr which fall on a Sunday in the year 2009 and I tell my cell leaders
that I am not going to church as I am sick but I did go to church but I did not show
myself up in the cell group and I went to look for my Senior Pastor and tell him
"Pastor Khong, today is my birthday and that I have a miraculous sign happen to me",
and Pastor Khong ask "what is the miraculous sign that happen to you" then I said "I
will let you know when the service starts". And so the service starts and everybody is
rushing in for service and so are my cell leader and member. But I hide myself behind
the backstage in order for my cell leader not to realized that I went to church when I
told them that I am not going because I am sick. So the service start by having worship
songs and everybody came in front of the stage to dance and as for me I am still
waiting at the backstage for the worship songs to finished and when it is ended. Pastor
Eugene made the announcement by asking "whose birthday is today" and Pastor
Eugene said "one of the birthday girl is behind the backstage and she would want you
to guess who is it. And I started to talk on the microphone and telling them "Is there
anyone of your friends who went missing and did not come to church". And I ask "Can
you guess who am I"? Eventually I come on stage and instruct them of what they need
to do. And so I ask everybody in the auditorium to close their eyes except those asher,
those playing for services and all the Pastor need not close their eyes and I ask Senior
Pastor could I have two female pastor to help me and so I called for my network
Pastor, Pastor Wendy Kang and I also requested Pastor Khong if I could request for
Pastor Nina to help me and Pastor Khong said "Of course you can ask Pastor Nina to
help you and I told everybody in the auditorium that I wanted everybody to speak in
tongues but keep their eyes still close and when I said open your eyes then only you can
open your eyes. Then I said to Pastor Khong "Pastor Khong, if you see something
miraculously happen please pray in tongues loudly and all the people in the auditorium
please follow Pastor Khong to pray aloud and Pastor Khong agreed. And I too ask the
people that are still in Hall 9 or at the entrance of Hall 10 could they too close their
eyes and pray aloud when Pastor Khong do so. So now everybody closes their eyes and
pray in tongues while I tell Pastor Nina and Pastor Wendy softly that "Could you hold
my hands and leave me up away from my wheelchair and I ask one of the Pastor to
push my wheelchair away and so Pastor Khong saw me standing on my legs he began
speaking in tongues loudly and everybody follow Pastor Khong to speak loudly, when I
am able to stand straight I ask Pastor Nina and Pastor Wendy to let go of my hands
and I ask everybody in the auditorium to open their eyes and when they open their eyes
they were shocked to see me standing on my two feet and they started to broke into
tears cause they are happy for me that I could stand on my two feet. And Pastor
Khong, Pastor Nina and Pastor Wendy broke into tears as well and each of them gave
me a hug and to where I am standing on the stage I look at the direction of where my
cell leader and members are sitting and I saw my leader broke into tears. And I ask if
my friend Bee Ling, Gladys Tang and Ming Chun are you here in church and could you
please stand up so that I could see you. And they are happy that they broke to tears
and I thank them for being my friend all this while, may we still continue to be friends
till the end. And so I began to praise God and thank God that I could stand on my feet
after 24 years of relying on the wheelchair. And I told the church that I have been
praying the Jabez prayer all this time and whenever I pray I sense that there is
something pulling my legs and I know that it is a sign that I could really stand on my
two feet one day and I hope that the dreams I dreamt about will come true.
Working in TH, Finance Dept
As you may or may not know that I was in Finance Department since December 3 2007
till today. Everyday was a busy week till I will forget the time to go for my lunch or
forget to visit the Ladies. But sometime I never go for lunch is not because I was busy
but because I don't feel like eating or because my church is doing a fasting month. So
whenever my colleagues ask me to go and eat I will just said that "Today I am fasting".
But I do not know why sometime if I am not eating I will have gastric pain. For the past
three weeks I have been busy helping my colleagues to photostat three boxes of
documents so if you were trying to talk to me through MSN but I did not reply it
means that I was away from my desk since the time I step into the office till seven plus
in the evening. So allow me to apologise to whoever that wanted to talk to me in MSN
but couldn't get me. "Sorry folks". If those of you who are in the working force and
that you are in Finance Department you will know how stress and tiring it is to be in
Finance Department. Till today (25 June 08) I am still in Finance Department but I will
be going back to Human Resource Department on Monday (30 June 08) to help them.
You might be wondering why I said "I am going back to Finance Department". Well
when I started working in Temasek Holding I was working in Human Resource
Department. Till then take care.
Special speaker coming 2 FCBC and a rude taxi driver
Well I will have two entry but I am writing as one entry. As the first entry took place on Sunday and
the second entry took place yesterday. On 22 June (Sun) I went to church and we have a special
speaker coming to Faith Community Baptist Church to preach sermon to us. He is from South
Africa. In the beginning of the he started off by telling us his life story. He told us that his wife died of
cancer and that his three children got married and that he have two grandchildren. After that he ask
his son to tell us about his mum passed away and how he overcome with it. After that he started
with the sermon. The title of the sermon is "Having God's Heart For The Multitudes". His essence
when he speak I cannot understand cause he tend to speak very fast and we cannot catch what he
just said when we are too focused on what he just said. He is just like a machine gun. And worst of
all the points that he just mention on the powerpoint slides it was not copied down by some of us as
it was too fast. And that it was only two points that he just said. It is not like any other sermon that
other speaker had preach. Rev Wes Richard's sermon was short and so we do not know what he
was trying to said.
This is the second entry that took place yesterday. It was 8.32pm when I was going home after
work. I was at Potong Pasir MRT to wait for a cab. Interestingly when he drive me home he told me
that I could wheel myself from Potong Pasir MRT to my house. He told me that it will take 5 minutes .
just to reached my house. I told him that it is impossible for me to wheel myself home as the road
are not even and there are lots of obstacle that I encounter cause I have tried to wheel myself home
and that I tel him that it took me 1 1/2hr to wheel myself home and he was so angry to hear that I
said I took 1 1/2hr to wheel myself home. But I tell him that people on wheelchair are not so mobile
compared to people that are walking. And I told him that if my house is just next to the MRT I could
just wheel myself to the MRT and not rely on taxi and he told me that Potong Pasir MRT to
MacPherson Estate (that is where I stay) is very near. And I was thinking to myself, if he does not
want to fetch me then in the first place he shouldn't have stop for me when I flag for a cab. and I also
think to myself that since I am the passenger and that I wanted to take a cab shouldn't he be glad
that I let him earned money. I really hope that my house is next to the MRT and that I could just wheel
myself to the MRT. He is the first taxi driver that I come cross who tell me this sort of things. Lastly I
know one thing for sure that is whenever the taxi driver saw us (people on wheelchair) they will not
stop for us as they think that it is troublesome for them to help us. I really don't know what other
transportation we can take except taxi's. The wheelchair accessible bus around my house is not yet
accessible for us to take. If the bus is ready I would rather take bus then to take taxi.
About my family
My name is Yuan Ping aka Ruby. I am twenty-three years old. I am a girl since birth
both legs cannot walk, handicap. I am a cheerful, easy-going, out-spoken, helpful,
jovial and conservative girl. I am currently working in Temasek Holdings as Admin
Assistant officer. I have been working here for almost two year, this July 18 will be my
second year working at Temasek Holdings. I have four members in the family, they are
my mother, two brothers and me. Both my parents are divorced when I was twenty-two
years old. My first brother is staying at my auntie's house so now my second brother
and me is staying with my mother but sometime my second brother did not come home
and sleep. He will stay out late the whole night. My mother is working at Ritz Carlton
Hotel as a Housekeeping Co-ordinator. My first brother is in the army but he is
studyiing at MDIS at the same time. My second brother is a police at Changi Airport
Terminal Three. Me and my brother do not get along well especially my second brother.
I alway get bullied by my second brother but I don't know how to fight back when he
bullied me. I just let him bullied me. When I wanted to use the computer he will ask me
to stop using and that he wanted to use the computer. Sometime I feel that I am better
off dead then living in agony with the family cause my brothers never respect me as
their eldest sister. I know I am different from them (in a way sitting on wheelchair). But
I know God has a purpose for me to be placed in this family but sometime I was
thinking what is the purpose that God has placed me in this family. I think nobody
knows the answer and even myself I also do not know the answer. Only God knows the
answer cause he is the one who placed me on this earth.
