Friends and experiences.

Thank God for all of them.

Love ya who stood by me while I'm down and still standing by me!

PS: I wouldn't say people whom I dislike or people whom dislike me as enemies. I supposed to pray for them. So I rename them as "experiences".

PSS: No matter what happens next, I know true friends like God and the friends he placed beside me will be there for me.

PSSS: Please pray for Punggol Secondary School, the kids are a lost bunch. The school is in the middle of nowhere, in more ways then one.

PSSSS: Bitching on my job is now known as Critical Inquisition. I think it sounds cool and professional.

PSSSSS: Seeing this kids, primary or secondary has made me realised alot of truths in a new light, ergo the feeling that I'm growing to be a teacher, which actually is a pleasant thing. *Stable Income and Good government Incentives are the material things that make one stay when they feel jaded with the job.* *I hope I dun get jaded... ... *

PSSSSSS: Last but not least, God rocks!

It's up to u to decide whether what happens to u is good or bad.

There's a reason y I posted this up on facebook and on my blog. After so much that has happened to me over the years and recently, I can only say God is good. All the time.
People may betray ur secrets, even when u think they r mature, people may have backstabbed u when u were younger, but as u grow older, u will realise that such things dun matter anymore. It's in the past. Besides, whatever wrongs that people do to u is their problem. They have God and themselves to answer to. So I'll just concentrate on becoming the child the the Lord wants me to be.
God give us just nice amount of watever we need in the world to survive. Anymore and you've gotta ask, but if he doesn't give it to u, it just means it's bad for u. Now for those of u who have read this, it's up to u to decide whether u wanna continue living the life that u have been living or u can decide to try to change and lead a life more worthy of a human who is made in the image of God.

OK I dunno if I'm making enough sense here or not.

The meaning of my name Mildred (Pronunciation:/mɪldrəd/)

My mum used to say, "gentle counsellor behind the throne". That means, I would be a good wife.

Now my friends, do let me tell u what I found out about my name. (For those who recently know me, it's not surprising that u will find my name most laughed at especially when I break it up)

As I look through the websites over the years, I realised it was old english.
Mildred -> Mil-dred (mind u it's pronounced as Mil-dred, /mɪldrəd/ not Mild-red)
Mil/ Mild -> Mild, Meek, Gentle
dred -> strength, strong

Ergo the meaning Gentle Strength or Meekness.


This is the verse from the Bible that some baby names book said it's supposed to be associated to my name, though I dunno how it was related, I just thought it very nice and decided to post it up as well.(enlighten me if u will)

1 John 4:7
Dear friends, let us love another, for love comes from God Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

As I type this, I think I'm enlighten. Meekness is not weakness. It is strength from inside. And one of the things about strength is the strength to love and forgive. I think I know where this is heading too.
(Please do continue reading even if u r not a christian)

My name is not about becoming a good wife. It's about learning to go against the ways of this world and to forgive people where other's can't, it's about learning to stand up for the Lord and his people, even if someone slaps or kick me for it I must offer my other cheek to the assaulter and do as Jesus did, love and forgive. Love unconditionally forgives the other party, and meekness comes in when u r being trampled on and u know u can't forgive the person, but u must find the strength as Jesus did to love and forgive the person. Enough said, I know what I must do now. All I need is u Lord, to guide me to be a beacon and demostrate this meekness that Jesus embodied and to do ur will.

PS: To those who made a joke outta my name and what colour bow I'm buying, this is an announcement to u all. Yes, I'm buying a red bow, it's the closes to pink, and yes, after much thought about my name yes well... ... Dun worry, I forgive u for the joke! ;p

Note: This was written on the 18 June 2009 at 10:46. On the next day, my teammate says she is getting a dark red bow too. On the 29 June I had an allegation that I had no individuality cos I cos the same colour as my teammate. Now that's God really testing me to see if this revelation got into my heart and not just into my mind.
