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.
