My Blog

This page isn’t the best that I came up with - the best one was the first one that I made. But it got destroyed when the software I’m using suddenly had a “Fatal Error” which killed off an entire hour of pure original content!

That made me really upset - at 3AM! So I spent the next 2 hours trying to replicate what I just did but it never came out. Nevertheless, I got my point across. Here’s the page for any aspiring home business entrepreneurs in Singapore.

I’ll let the video do the talking ^^

     Faith without actions is dead. I’ll say it again. Faith without actions is dead. I think that’s true, so I’ll say it again. Faith without actions is dead. Why do I keep saying that? Because faith without actions is dead!

     How many times in your life have you told God (or a close friend) about your financial worries? About the same old problems? You meet up and you’re talking about the same thing again. Do you feel that the world has moved on without you? Because you hear that millionaires are popping up everywhere but you are still affected by the rising costs of inflation. Then you start talking about the rising costs of fuel, of food, of travel, of entertainment, of everything.

     You turn to God. You look upon Him with eyes filled with tears of despair or hope, voice cracking with emotion. Then you do the same things that you’ve been doing, waiting upon God to bring you that miracle that you’ve been waiting for.

     Faith without actions is dead.

     What have you done differently to change what’s happening with your life right now? If you’re facing financial difficulties (or anything else for that matter), what have you done to change it? Have you done anything at all? Maybe you did. Maybe you ate less. Maybe you took public transport instead of driving. Maybe you alighted earlier so you can save a bit more by walking back home a few extra stops. Maybe you shared meals. Maybe you tried looking for extra work but nothing turned up. Stop.

     That is a poor-man’s thinking. People who are going through famine do the exact same thing that was listed above. You have to stop thinking like a poor-man and start thinking like the rich! God is a rich God. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills (in olden day’s context, that’s humongous. Even in today’s context, it’s STILL humongous!)

     There was a widow who was about to eat her last meal with her son (Read 1 Kings 17:10-16). She was expecting to die of hunger but instead gave that very bread to His prophet to eat. Giving that precious, precious last piece of bread resulted in her having more than enough until the day when the famine stops.

     When Israel was going through famine, Elijah built an altar and poured water over it. Gallons of water. Gallons of precious, precious water. In front of thousands of people who needed it. And he did it again, and again. Until God brought forth a miracle of fire and rain (Read 1 Kings 18) and the famine stopped.

     Faith without actions is dead.

     Make the decision today to do something. Change your mindset. Stop thinking like a poor-man and start thinking like the rich! The common denominator in the two stories was that there was someone there to guide the people who were suffering towards richness and prosperity. You cannot rely on your own knowledge to change your future because let’s face it, you’ve been using your own knowledge for as long as you live – where has that gotten you so far? Don’t use your own knowledge anymore, attach yourself with a person with a rich mindset and learn from him!

     We can neither choose our surroundings nor the people in our lives, be it rich or poor. But He gave you the power to become one of them. Which one will you choose? God has already surrounded your life with unlimited potential to be rich! You are the one who decides what happens next!

I think everyone comes across this question in one form or another at some point of their life. The question of God exists or not is a global debate - I stand for the side that God exists - but then there’s always a question of whether happiness comes from an emotional factor or financial factor first.

If one starts poor and ends up rich through legitimate means, would he be happy?
If one starts rich and nothing really much changes, would he be happy?
If one starts poor and doesn’t mind being poor, would he be happy?
If one starts poor and is always thinking of being rich, would he be happy?

75% of my 4 questions starts with poor people, probably cause I haven’t reached the point of financial freedom that I wish to yet in my life. I’d say I’m mostly with question 4. I didn’t start out that rich but I’m always trying to think positively that one day, I will reach that level of financial freedom and prosperity.

Do I have to start thinking rich first? As the Bible states… "As a man thinketh, so is he". So if I think rich, will I be? But as much as I think I am rich, nothing will happen if I don’t do anything about it… "Faith without works is dead". Even if I am doing something about it and I’m thinking positively that I’ll be wealthy, will it truly happen in my life when I first experience it?

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, proof of the things not seen. If I have so much faith and believe it so, will it come to pass because my thoughts (as my sub-conscious mind drives me so) push me to reach richness?

Then again, most importantly, when I do become rich… will I be… happy? I’d like to think I will be, but it probably will only prove itself when I reach that point in time. Life’s a big challenge and in the life that we live here, we can choose that state that we live on this earth. We won’t bring anything with us when we die… "Empty I came from my mother’s womb, empty I shall return to the womb of earth" but when we do… Do we bring financial freedom of mind, prosperity and happiness? Or do we bring freedom of mind, happiness but never knowing prosperity?

… And that elf is ME! Ha, I’m working there for a while till Christmas. Will be there in the night, around 845pm to 10 plus. Mainly just walking around singing "I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas" again and again… and again. Only got 1 song, so it’s on repeat ha. I’ll be haunting the place in my tight green clothes and pointy ears… till Christmas is over. Ha. It’s been fun so far. Especially since I was "requested" back to work and got a "request" by a customer to carry her (she was very, very light! And beautiful to boot!) so her boyfriend can take a picture. I got a kiss as a reward ha. So nice. She’s not local, that’s for sure. I’d probably become fodder if she was local. Wahaha.

Merry Christmas, folks! Since I’m the elf, and I can’t go "Ho Ho Ho", I should go "He He He" right? So… Merry Christmas everybody! He He He! … (yuck, I sound freak noobish)

I’m flying off to Australia! Down Under! My Tracks!

Why My Tracks?… Cause I heard that I’m gonna have animals in my tracks when I’m out there… Not intentionally but well, the exercise still has to go on.

So, whoever’s reading this. I’ll be off to Australia for about 3 weeks until 9 December 12 AM.

12AM for goodness sake, can’t it be at a better time? Man!

Well, I’ve already packed up most of my stuff. Ready to rumble. It’s my first time flying overseas to another country for an extended period of time. So I hope it’s gonna be a memorable one! Cheers all! God bless!

… to become a person with superpowers (I read comics), what kind of powers would I have? Hrmm… a common one would be to have control of time. Another might be the ability to make money. Super fast? Super strong?

Guess if I could have superpowers, I’d like to have the ability to bring imaginations and dreams to life. Of course, a lot of us already are living our dreams but there are still so many of us who can’t. My limit would probably be that I can only use my ability once a day and the imaginations and dreams that come true to life from my ability, would also come with it’s own problems and issues. The fun thing would be that whoever wished it has to live with the issues and grow from it - thus making his/her dream a reality rather than an immediate thing that they can just un-wish.

So I’m saying to those who happen to read this… If you’ve got a dream - prepare to take in all the problems that come with it. Don’t just expect that "life’s gonna get better", oh yeah, it will. So will the problems get bigger. Don’t ever let it get you down though, you got to where you are BECAUSE God knew that you’d be able to handle it. Otherwise, He wouldn’t have put you there in the first place. So…

Keep on fighting for your dreams! I will for mine =D

Hi!

Just thought of coming in and posting something. Haven’t done that for a while, have I? What’ve I got to say? Hrmm… no idea.

Let’s start with Singapore Idol.

It’s trashed. Again. What’s with the thing about "we’re not going to show faces cause it’s a singing competition after all" ? Hello?! WAKE UP! You’re on television. It’s more than a singing competition, if it was just a singing competition and faces don’t matter, do it on RADIO. You’re doing it on television cause you’re performing. Idol is singing + performing. Something this stupid only happens when a favourite disappears. What? Haven’t anyone realised the trend that the best singers rarely ever make it in the competition? Cause it’s NOT about singing only, it’s about performing. Being a crowd pleaser and a critic silencer.

Next, about my life.

Okay, at least I got that part off my chest. I thought it was just overkill with showing that on TV. Aaaanyway, my life’s busy. Period. I just finished National Day Parade and the week following I got to do Protection of Installations. I’ll miss 3 weeks of church because of it! Then after I’m done, I’ll be preparing to go overseas for another month for live firing experience. FOLLOWING that, after I come back, I prepare to go overseas again. So busy.

I’m learning how to be a co-worker with my colleagues. I’m not having a smooth ride thus far. It’s been bumpy. And man, I feel like a failure so often but I gotta keep going on. God’s been consistantly faithful. He lifted me up with a timely visit by Dr. A.R. Bernard and his sermons that always challenge me in my mind. The challenge for me personally is more of translating that knowledge and renewed mind into real action.

Okay, I’m done for now. Still got duty tomorrow. I’ll update probably some time when I feel guilty again when I get a comment that it’s getting dusty in here. Ha.

Cheers,
Asher

Well, first time using a blog. Kinda wanted one a long time ago but never really got into the swing of things. Ah… had mine done personally but it’s a lot more troublesome to do a post cause everything’s manual - that’s in my webbie. Well, decided to drop by in Friendster today cause my friend said he hasn’t seen me in months in here… Well, here I am. So, Mr Marcus, if you’re reading this, I logged in.

Next, why I wanted to have this blog… Cause something weird happened. I got 2 people telling me to quit contacting them today. Wow, I’m a reject. 1 of them was a person who had somewhat of a crush on me and then out of nowhere when I send a mass message of "Hello, good morning" and what-not, I get told not to send any more messages. Okay, so I go on to delete her contact.

The other person was a funny one. I messaged a primary school friend. Unknown to me, he changed number. This other lady picked up his number. So she got my message instead of him. I realised it and deleted the number. Next day, she contacts me and starts chatting me up at 7am. Then the following day too. When she asked where I was, I said I was heading back to camp from church.

The following day, she messages me to call her and promptly tells me to stop contacting her. Fine. *Delete*

Other than a fantastic day at church, this is the only weird thing that happened. Man… who would’ve imagined Taufik Batisah, Wang Jun Yang and Kelly Poon to visit City Harvest? (this was on Friday). Saturday was visited by Sun Ho after a long hiatus to Hollywood. Quite an eventful day.
