03 Jan 2017 (Tue)烽火戏诸侯

03 Jan 2017 (Tue)

I have enrolled Bahasa Indonesia Level 1 course and it has been confirmed. It will commence on 14 January and end on 25 March 2017 (no lesson on 28 January). Lessons will be conducted every Saturday, from 1pm to 4pm.

从31 Dec 2106晚上开始，我就依照许下的新年计划（New Year Resolutions) - 早睡早起，8频道华语新闻后就上床睡觉，睡到自然醒，早上0500hrs起床。

早上晨运，步行2公里，是我每年的新年计划New Year Resolution。今天游泳300米。

实现新年计划，01 - 02 Jan 2017我读完了马太福音1 - 4章，这是教会的读经计划新约部份。今天读了诗篇73。教会的读经计划的旧约部份，是诗篇73 - 76。

马太福音1 - 4章，很容易明白，因为我已经读过几遍，这次依照教会的读经计划来读是温习。读诗篇73，也能够明白。诗人说恶人享乐，他却受苦。诗人最终信服主。这是勉励我们，一切有神昨主。

很多人，不回应群体联系来的信息（和email），可能手机功能，群体联系，被‘狼来了’滥用了，把收到的信息，当着无聊了问候，不回应。

 ‘烽火戏诸侯’ 是另一版本的‘狼来了’。

何谓‘烽火戏诸侯’？

烽火戏诸侯，指西周时周幽王，为褒姒（bāo sì）一笑，点燃了烽火台，戏弄了诸侯，诸侯领兵到来勤王（保卫国王）。褒姒看了果然哈哈大笑。幽王很高兴，因而又多次点燃烽火。后来诸侯们都不相信了，也就渐渐不来了。后来犬戎（敌人）攻破镐京，杀死周幽王。

Thank God for His daily grace & counting my blessings，Give thanks daily & rejoice in the Lord always!

祝各位长官，大哥，大姐，主内弟兄姐妹，好朋友们，新年进步，万事顺利，天下太平，新加坡国泰民安。

成年团契岁末感恩聚会，我分配到巴士IC（负责点名和应付突发事件，和有事发生时被问责的对象）的事奉工作。我设立了手机群体联系(WhatsApp Group Chat)，我发现到很多比我年轻的年长者，和比我年长的年长者，不回应群体联系来的信息（不是所有的年长者），也可能手机功能，群体联系，被‘狼来了’滥用了，把收到的信息，当着无聊了问候，不回应。At first, with WhatsApp Group Chat, we are so close, actually we are so far. but now, with WhatsApp Group Chat, too many greetings and images, far or close, no respond.

我也发现，很多末代华校生(Chinese Helicopters, or Channel 8), 不会汉语拼音，不会输入汉字，也没有勇气输入英文，错过了和无法容入新科技。好像当年，中文错过了手提打字机年代，只能手写腊纸(stencil)。 还好，中文没落后，除了能上太空探月，现在也可以通过手机群体联系来联系。

感谢主，通过事奉神，使我，末代华校生(Chinese Helicopters, or Channel 8), 有了新的感恩，感谢神，我能读，能写，能应用手机群体联系功能。

常常感谢神的恩典，每天记录和计数恩典，感谢主！

New Year Resolution 1 for 2017: I will continue learning Bahasa Melayu.

New Year Resolution 2 for 2017: I will adhere to The FCF, Bible Reading Plan.

New Year Resolution 3 for 2017: I will sleep (i.e. go to bed) at 10:30 pm immediately end of Channel 8 News.

Office hour end at 1730hrs, many workers have prepared themselves to go home at 1700hrs, for example, keeping all the working files, switch off the computer, lock all the file cabinets, etc. once the clock hit at 1730hrs, they punch their cards and leave the workplace.

This strike my mind for my Resolution 3 for 2017, I will prepare to sleep before the 10:00 pm Channel 8 News at 2150hrs, i.e. leave the FaceBook, off the computer, sit down in front of the TV to watch the news. Brush teeth at the commercial break, then back to the news in front of the TV. Change to pajamas at the next commercial break, and continue the news watching, once the news ended when the news reporter say, "Thank you for watching." Without delay, off the TV and I go to bed straight away.

I shared my Resolution 3 for 2017 with Bro and Sis-in-Christ when I was the Bus IC, traveling from Queenstown to Changi on the way to End of Year Thanksgiving Fellowship at Aloha Changi Seafront Chalet on 31 Dec 2016.

Thank God for His daily grace & counting my blessings，Give thanks daily & rejoice in the Lord always!
