Walking With Jesus!!

It is not easy to walk with Jesus and yet a lot of Christians wanted to walk right with Jesus.. Therefore I really want to blog all my walks so that I can remember all the walks that I have had with Jesus and to rely on Him and allow Him to carry me when I couldn't walk right with Him anymore.

Superman Returns

Wake up early this morning. Went for breakfast cum lunch with Eu Jin and Nicholas Hor in Ipoh. Today Nick is going to PJ and tomorrow he would be flying off to Australia to further his studies there. Well thank God that I managed to have breakfast cum lunch with him today. We had our meal for kinda 45 minutes to an hour because I proceed to watch Superman Returns. As usual, I went to Ipoh Parade's GSC. Well the tickect for the movie is very cheap. It costs me just RM5 for a movie with a valid student card. Well mine is not valid student card but then since the student card had not expired, I am still eligible to get a cheaper price for the movie. Not bad eh? =) Well Superman Returns is kinda a nicer movie compared to the other previous Superman series. I mean in terms of graphics, the movie is superb. But then the movie (in my humble opinion) it does not have lotsa action scenes. There are more love scenes between Superman and Lois Lane. Of course Lois Lane in this movie acted by Kate Bosworth is much more prettier than Teri Hatcher or the Christopher Reeve's time's Lois Lane. As for Kevin Spacey, his role as Lex Luthor have much more compassionate heart compared to other Superman's nemesis (which I can't recall who). But hey.. Lois Lane's son is cute. And the son is also Superman's son. I guess lah. Based on the storyline. =) Anyway don't wanna say much. Afterwards I would be called Lik Ee, the spoiler. Well that is not fun anymore. So watch the movie ppl and tell me bout it. Got to go now. God bless..

Life before and after 2nd interview in UTAR and success had conquer my life by God's love

A testimony to tell here. God finally provided me job. Praise God. Well the work place is UTAR (University Tunku Abdul Rahman). I am working there as a junior administrative assistant. Similiar job to SEGi I guess.. Anyway the salary is RM1250. RM250 more than SEGi. =) I would be working everyday from 8:30am until 5:00pm (If I am not required to work overtime lah) and every Saturday I would need to work from 8:30am until 1:00pm. Sunday, well it depends if there is open day or not. Not that bad though. At least my pay is higher. I would not complaint anymore. They also told me that they are willing to contribute 6% extra of EPF which totalled up to 18%. (Employer's part) The normal contribution is 12%.
Anyway I never knew that I would be hired although it seems to me the chances is that they will. Well I was in UTAR at 8:30am and waited until 10:30am before my 2nd interview over. Met 5 other future colleagues too. One of them are from UPM while the other are from MMU while the rest of them are from Tunku Abdul Rahman college. 3 girls and 3 guys including me.
I had my 2nd interview with seven dean or head of department and a HR secretary (I guess). I was shocked that I shall meet 7 of them in a meeting room there. I mean it sounds like The Fellowship Of The Rings type of meeting. I am as small as Frodo (waiting to be questioned or shall I say, interviewed) while the rest of them are the big fellows in the university. And the interview ends with the words by one of the dean saying that, "We, the committee had decided that this post is suitable for you." I was like' "Whoa!! Do they need to say until like that?" I mean one of the dean uses the word, "committee". Ain't that sounds like the meeting time in Lord of The Ring where they decide who to go and fight the enemy? Shoot.. I forgot who is the Frodo's enemy's name oredi. Sad sad case...
I was given a smaller post and lower pay than what they think I was expecting. I mean I did not apply for the post of any accounts job. Rather I was looking forward for a job there in a department of general office. I do not want what kind of job is that but then I just simply find a post there. At the 1st interview, they told me that because I do not possess any certificate for account post, I thought I was a goner. I mean I would not get the job anymore but thank God they gave me a smaller post and a lower pay. They thought I was asking for RM1500 but then because my friend asked me to put the salary expected RM1500, so I put. In fact, I leave it as negotiable. So thank God too that I get the job that I wanted (administrative job) and also the pay that I had actually wanted (below RM1500 but above RM1200). I mean RM50 extra also not bad though. And they actually told me that if I were to work overtime, I would get my overtime pay too. Well that's fantastic. I mean I do not mind getting extra pays but then hopefully not all the time.. =) Hopefully it exceeds RM1300. =P
The next thing I was told to do was to go for a medical check up. Well I went but then I was told to pay for the check up myself. The clinic was not that far but not that near either. It is located very near to DUMC church. Opposite the KFC but it is a corner shoplot, next to traffic light and very near to Public Bank.
Went there for the check up. I was told to pee for the medical check up purposes. Well I was so shy. I mean I never pee at a cup before. The most I pee at before was at my pants when I was still young. That's all. But then I pee. Then I was told to take off my shirt in front of a pretty young nurse. It was X-Ray purposes. I was like, "Whoa!!! Nowhere in the world would I take my shirt off in front of this pretty girl. I wouldn't want to let her see my tummy right?" In my whole life, only one of my aunt, my mom and Mel saw my so-called "beautiful" tummy before. Haih~~ But then no choice lor. She asked me wor. So I do what she told me to do. Lean my tummy on the wall. Not just that the doctor were also checking my ear, mouth, mouth, eyes etc etc.. You name it, you got it. I was like, "Why in the world would UTAR bothered with such a lot of things?" A bit fussy lah. Anyway thank God all things totalled up to RM35 for the whole body check up. Otherwise die lor..
Anyway went back to UTAR after that. Well gave back all the document and the X-Ray to the lady in charge there in the HR. I would need to report back to work (which would be my 1st day) on Monday, 03th July 2006. And she told me that on that Monday itself I would be having my staff orientation before going back to the respective department assigned. Well hopefully everything would turn up very well.. I would not want to face any havoc and chaos while on that day though. So hopefully God shall watch over on that day as well and make everything well, just like today.. =)
Anyway I am going to leave the KDU computer lab soon.. The place is getting cold. And I have a dinner soon.. Therefore signing up here.. Yours truly, Lik Ee.. God bless... =)

Things started to become good now =)

I had been very happy these few days.. Don't know why but then I am starting to gaining more and more faith in God. Well perhaps I had not been really spending times with friends. All the time since I was depressed I was always complaining to God and do not allow Him to talk to me. It was until Mun Yee started to point out to me that I am starting to live a life like Israelites where I live in a world of grumbleness and complaints when there is problems and when there is blessings I ignored God, that I started to reflect on my own life and start thinking. Well perhaps I had been ignorance of what God had done for me, in my life and rather focus a lot on my problems.
Well I had to admit that a lot of time I need friends and I should not be alone. No one is meant to be alone. I had to admit that but then not only because I was lazy, I felt that there is no one that I can really go out with. I had been doing my own personal things in life for the past weeks oredi. Actually whole day sleeps and at times I had been complaining here and there. Had not really been praying hard. In fact, I had not been really mixing with ppl around me, and sharing life with those who are around with me.
Anyway I was with Kenny, Jia Hsien and Xi Ying today at The Curve's Borders and I felt happy today. I had not been going out to shopping complexes with a bunch of KDU CFers for such a long time oredi. I mean the fellowship that we all had (although Xi Ying and Jia Hsien talks more while Kenny was with his usual exercise routine) is quite a nice experience for me to enjoy it all over again. I remember last time during my time of CFs we did go out and shopping but I had not really been going out with the CFers for so long oredi. Anyway before the praying meeting today, I went to SEGi (old company and old college) to get my documents and then headed to CIMA HQ to get some important documents as well.
I had been staying at home too often asking God questions after questions concerning my futures that I never knew that I was given such a liberty from God to have a short break before I continue with my new job. Anyway I felt that since 1 1/2 months ago, after I lost my job in SEGi I am now given more faith to believe that I am going to get a job soon and that I am not going to have anymore break after this. I mean I am going for my 2nd interview tomorrow in UTAR and that God had answered all my minor prayer request, thus making all my prayer request successful as well. But then I still need lotsa prayer so that I would know really know His will for me and to enable me to make the right choice according to His will. =)
Anyway these few days had been really an interesting week. Last Sat I was invited to attend one of my kai mui's birthday dinner. Then I was also invited to attend tomorrow's dinner organised by a bunch of previous batch KDU CF committees. Well I never knew that I would be invited to attend all these meal event. I mean I was thinking am I that important for them to invite me for their dinner event? After all I was never in their batch of KDU CF members and committees and never stop there to help them. But then I was invited to attend. Well I am very happy that they actually appreciate me. You know ppl may say that they appreciate each other but that was just words come out from their mouth but are they really sincerely appreciate each others? Well that's where actions came in handy. I mean they show it through invitations. And I am very happy that they remembered me. In all the ppl that they had make friends with, they thought of me. Felt very appreciated though. =) Don't know what to say though.
Anyway I am still hoping that I would be able to work in KDU rather than UTAR. Of course, I should not be taking things for granted though. So let's just see what will happen and let God handle it all. My only intention now is that I would be able to disern the right way that He wants me to go to. =) So I really need lotsa prayer though. Thanks.
Anyway it's time to sleep soon. I shall be having an early wake up call from my handphone alarm at an approximately 7am. Hope all the best to me. God bless me, God bless everybody as well. =) Nite..

Past reflection...

I was talking to an ex- KDU Christian Fellowship president, John Ling. Well he was the CF president after I left KDU but before Sharon Lim takes over. Anyway John was the 6th CF president after I left KDU and boy, I felt way too old oredi.
Honestly I had seen through lotsa changes in life. I first wrote my pen-friend letter (with pen and paper, ok?) in the year of 1995, when I was still in my high school. I was in form 4 that time. I was attracted to writing letter due to because my twin friend (they are Christians) wrote letter themselves when they were younger. Furthermore I was also attracted to writing letters due to because at that time, there was a youth publication called The Quest. Not sure whether they are still pulishing the magazine or not. Anyway I sent my details or so-called pen-pal "resume" to them few times and they actually published my details in the magazine.
Anyway to make the story short, this is my 11th year writing letter oredi. And instead of continuous writing letter, I had expanded to email (although not all shall get my email replied), MSN, SMS and now blog. =) Well honestly saying, it might not be an easy things for me to blog about or to write to pen-pal about, but then I guess from writing mode, I had expanded so much till blog. I believed this is one superb experience although I may not be able to achieve high class blogger yet.
Time flies and things changes as well. Joined KDU in the year of 1998 August Intake and had been joining KDU Christian Fellowship since then under the leadership of Josiah Wong Chee Kong (an ex-KDU Lecturer as well) until now under the leadership of Aaron Pua Wye Aun, I had seen lotsa changes and the flow of the members there are quite different as well. Perhaps there are times, under certain leadership of the CF committe members, the management were not flow so well but then under certain leadership it was superb. Things changes very fast. I was wondering would things become much more better or worst. Well this I couldn't say. But I guess I had seen through it all. (not to say that I am that great, but then I was happen to be there at that time when things were not well as well as times when things were cool and happening). Due to because of that, I learnt a lot. I learnt to humble myself down to God. I learnt to overcome evil with love (which I am still struggle with but I guess I am on the way) but sometimes we still dried up. Well I felt it was not because we serve too much but rather ppl tend to do things their own ways, which they felt is correct and ignore what I had gone through totally aside. But nonetheless, I am still learning. No one should told us to quit learning. If we obey that particular person, I believe we are a fool. In fact, if we ever think that we are always right and not willing to accept advice, then we are also a fool. We need to have a balance of both accepting advice and keep on learning. Anyway the two particular statement above I am still learning. I am not perfect. No one is.
So throughout my life here in KDU, I had learnt these two lessons and still is. Actually what I am trying to say is this. I never knew that I can be somebody since I was young. I was told to be a follower and not the leader. If I am leader, it means I got problem. My skills of learning starts from writing. I mean pen-pal writing is not a big deal but the more I write the more I am skillful in writing. Practise makes perfect. It expanded my vocabulary of English words. Somehow or rather lah. And by learning the style of leadership and the style of caringness of ppl in Christian Fellowship makes me wanting to learn more. And throughout all these 8 1/2 years of me joining, serving and helping, in fact observing the leadership skills in Christian Fellowship it helps to make me learn more things. In fact due to some bad circumstances that I had face when I was a kid, I tend to notice things which a lot of ppl do not notice. It is not something that I could be proud of but rather it makes me become who I am right now towards things of the world and things of God.
Anyway I thank God for who I am right now although some of my character and behaviour do not pleses a lot of ppl. But I felt it do shape me well so that other ppl would would learnt from it. God bless..

Alternative direction.....

Had been thinking about my job lately. Well a friend of mine used to t0ld me that there is a lot of job vacancy back in Ipoh. I mean companies like KPMG, Ernst & Young, Deloitte and Price Waterhouse Cooper (PWC). All the big four's Companies. Well honestly saying I don't know lah.
Perhaps I might be going back to Ipoh to work. Not my type of place to work though. But the pay I heard is quite good compared to PJ or KL's lifestyle. My friend also told me that I might be able to get RM1200 a month in Ipoh which is pretty good compared to PJ or KL. I mean the lifestyle is different. I would be staying with my parent (rental free), the food is cheap (Perhaps one meal a day, dinner eat at home), still no need to give my parent a lot of pocket money (cause they are retiree and they have their own pension money every month - my mom was a government school teacher) and etc etc benefits.
On the other hand, I shall be missing a lot of things if I am not working in PJ. I shall miss lotsa ppl there in KDU Christian Fellowship. Not to forget lotsa activities the CF organises. Example: free tickects to watch movies, One Utama, potbless, CF camps, cell groups, church, Ms Angeline, Kenny, Aaron, Mun Yee, Linda, Jia Hsien, Xi Ying and the rest of the ppl that I had known so dearly .... =( Wonder what would I do without you all, huh?
Anyway it is all in my plan only. I mean since I am not working at the moment, I got no choice but to think of this alternatives. Perhaps I should pray more for direction from God. But I need guidance from Him before I could actually implement anything.
Well I used to not going to church in Ipoh due to because I got no transport to go. Furthermore I was always in hurry cause I always rush back to take bus to go to KL. Then I met Paster Clement Wong who was in the Time's Up Youth Conference and he gave me his church address. Located quite outskirt of Ipoh. Somewhere near Hillcity Hotel, near Sam Poh Tong cave there called the Church of Praise. =) Don't know lah. Really need God's guidance.
Anyway see lah. Hopefully I got KDU's job. Otherwise I think if I were given another choice other than KL, I would be going back to Ipoh. See whichever way it gonna be lah. Okay lah.. Got to go now. Enough of all the craps.. God bless.... =)

Life before and after interview in KDU... =(

Went for KDU interview today. Well not sure how well I do but I came for the interview half an hour early. Supposed to be interviewed at 8:30am but instead I was interviewed at 9:00 am. Well just came back from the interview. Got not much confidence in me right now. I mean each of my job lasts me only half a year. And I had been working for a year and that means I had quitted two job oredi. Sad case lah.
Anyway compared to UTAR interviewer, this interviewer are much nicer and they were not very sure whether they want to hire me or not. I can see that through their face though. Anyway I asked them when I can know my result whether I could get the job or not and she told me within two to three weeks time. Whoa!! It was like I need to wait that long? I mean is it necessary? Anyway the HR lady by the name of Ms Oh told me all the company's benefits and she says if I were chosen for the post of accounts assistant, those were my benefits. Just hope that I could get it cause it seems to me that I could not get the job though. Not to make myself depressed, but then if they were ask me to wait for the result within a week perhaps okay lah. I still can wait. After all it is going to be end of June soon. But to wait for two to three weeks, it was like so long. I am actually getting more and more impatient though, waiting for the job to come.
I felt so useless though. I screw up my working life. Why on earth would these things happened? I mean I had been working for ppl in a manner that I wanted to be honest and living a Christlike walk in during my work but ppl tend to screw me up. Why? Is it because I am too naive? Or is it because I am too stupid? I hope I am not falling into both categories though. Because I know I am not. But then things happened. Sad case lah. I wonder why these things happen to me. That's why nowadays I felt that I should not come to prayer meeting. The reason is because I felt I had gave the CF ppl burden to pray for me. I mean the unanswered prayer request. Honestly saying, I felt that I should be heading back to Ipoh and find a simple job there, a job which got nothing to do with accounts. Perhaps be a farmer or things like that. Something which is not compatible with my job. In fact, job that require no accounting diploma or degree. Sad case lah. No one wants to hire me. Why me? Why of all the ppl in the world, I had to face such a shit? Am I that sinful that my God do not want to bless me? Honestly I can felt how Job felt when he lost everything he got. Perhaps even David's feeling from the book of Psalm. And perhaps Joseph's. But anyhow I felt depressed and discouraged.
Anyway don't know lah what to do. Just pray that there would be ppl out there that could encourage me and in fact help me deeply to curb in these depression. Got to go now. God bless..

Life before and after interview in UTAR.. =)

Went for an interview this morning. Wake up early this morning about 6:45am and take a bath before heading towards UTAR. Went out to take a bus at about 7:15am. Thank God that when I reached KDU bus-stop bout 7:20am, the bus just came. So boarded the bus and reach Poh Kong Jewelry Shop, SS2 10 to 15 minutes later. =) On the way to SS2, I met Rita who was also on the way to work in Ampang. Let just say she is on her way to go for a training in a Korea Company in Ampang. She told me that in the company that she is working in or sort of training in right now, she was entitled to 45 days leave and she would be given a place to stay and a lunch allowance. I was like, "What type of company is this? Cause I also want such benefits." Too bad I do not read and write Chinese. I mean I can write and read Chinese but then not that good. If rating of 1 is worst and 10 is the best were to be given, I would rate myself 4 for writing and 2 for reading. =( But anyway all the best to her then. She got what she deserve it. =)
Waited for Metro 12 bus for about 10 minutes. I looked at my watch and noticed that time is still early. It was just 7:30 or something like that only. So while waiting, I was thinking if I were to be hired by UTAR, would I be able to come to work on time since the university open their doors to the public at bout 8:30am?? Well estimating my time though. If I were to wake up early for the job everyday. Say bout 6:45am, I would be able to take a Putra Bus bout 7:15am and starts my journey from there. And then from SS2, I would need another 10 to 15 minutes to reach UTAR. I was told to reach UTAR by 8:20am.
Metro 12 bus came. Well there are enough seats for everyone except for one Malay guy who prefers to stand rather than to sit. As the bus reaches its destination, there are more and more ppl boarding the bus. By the time, I reached UTAR, the bus was packed like sardine. Well the bus reaches the destination. As for me, I was a bit blur of where UTAR is located. I mean which bus stop is go down. Asked a lady sitting next to me. Thank God the bus really stop exactly outside the main road towards UTAR. Well since I was a bit blur, I came down slowly and the bus conductor scolded me for taking times to come down from the bus and disturb the passenger's queue of boarding the bus. What to do.. Me very blur... =(
So here I was. The main road outside UTAR. Well from in the car point of view, I was like I know where UTAR is located but on the foot, I am kinda blur because I was not able to defferetiate the road itself since there are some new development being going on over there. Anyway I walk towards the University, put my name and identification number to the guard and walk towards the University. Actually I am a shy guy. A super shy guy. A lot of ppl do not know where. Ppl are more like camera shy or stage shy but me more into ppl shy. Get what I mean? =) So I was shy when I was in the University compound, wearing formal clothes in a unfamiliar surrounding. Thank God there are a girl ove there who directed me to Human Resource department. Reached the HR department. Saw a few ppl out there waiting for their first day of working sort of orientation day. That's what I heard the staff there and newbies said. I was sent to a finance department for an interview and the interviewer is a CIMA graduates. Does his MBA in SEGi SS2 or the KL branch, I am not sure. But honestly saying, I am kinda scared of going for interviews. The reason is because the interview is always held in new office. Then there would be a lot of new faces to met. Then the staff would look at me with one kind of look. I need to wear formal clothes for the interview. If informal clothes, I would not be that scared though. =) Anyway the interviewer ask a lot of questions. Well some are kinda a bit sarcastic and some are kinda nice. Anyway there are some questions that I can hardly answer. I mean I do not have enough knowledge to answer though. One particular question that he ask me is, "What is Malaysia's latest percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP)?" I was like..... do not know how to answer. But thank God that I tried to answer him. I told him, "5.5%." Perhaps I am right, perhaps I am wrong. He told me at least my answer were nearest to the exact answer. Pheww... Thank God that I read The Star nowadays. Otherwise die lah.. =) He also ask me if I were interested in transfer to Kampar UTAR after a year training and sort of like in taking charge over there? Well nearer to my place. I was like, "hey.. I never thought of it that way." But then I guess giving my answer as "yes" shouldn't harm me at all, right? Promise 1st and see what happen later. Well nearer to my house after all... Anyway after all the hassle of the interview, he let me go. So I was like free like bird at last.. =) And he told me that the university might call me for 2nd interview on Thursday or A.S.A.P. Good for me..
Thank God everything ended up in pretty good way. I prayed that I had given my best impression to him that would give him the confidence to hire me though. Anyway tomorrow is my next college interview and that would be KDU. Hope that I do really get this job here in KDU cause it is nearer to my place and it is gonna be a fun thing working for KDU and serve God with CFers. =) So wish me all the best and may God help me.. Thanks for praying.. God bless.. Got to go now.. Kenny is waiting for me for movie.. Late oredi.. So see ya and God bless... =)

Learning Worship Songs...

Since the day I went to Time's Up Conference with Mun Yee, Jia Hsien, XY and Li Yan, curiousity came into my life. Well I know this sounds ridiculous, but then I am learning of how to listen to Christian songs sang Planet Shakers, Altered Frequency etc etc. This may sounds so weird but I used to dislike those songs. Reason is because I do not understand their songs. I mean they jam and play all sort of loud music. How in the world can God's presence appeared into their life?
Then yesterday in Ipoh, (okay.. I am back to PJ now.. ) I try up songs burned by Mun Yee and put it on in computer and learning to listen to the songs. Well perhaps it was a bit noisy and things like that and my mom was complaining, well I was slowly enjoying it while playing with my favourite solitare. Honestly saying, I am actually more into Doen Moen and those old old worship songs. Hymm also I do not mind. But then as I continue to wonder in awe how in the world the youngster nowadays can really enjoying such songs and yet they felt God's presence, well I do want that blessings as well though. Anyway I am still new to all these songs. Still intend to learn to listen to those songs. =) I do admit there are a lot of nice worship song out there. But then sorry lah ppl.. No putting me into the front, jumping, ok? =) That one I still can't accept. Okay lah.. Gtg oredi. Wanna go to church soon.. It is going to rain soon.. God bless..

Divisional Manager

I received this English Online job, don't know who sent it to me.. Am not very sure as well whether this joke is funny or not but then just blog it up..If you think this is funny, then laugh.. Otherwise ignore it..I found it nonesense.. So enjoy... -Lik Ee-

A businessman was interviewing applicants for the position of divisional manager. He devised a simple test to select the most suitable person for the job. He asked each applicant the question, "What is two and two?"

The first interviewee was a journalist. His answer was "twenty-two."

The second applicant was an engineer. He pulled out a calculator and showed the answer to be between 3.999 and 4.001.

The next person was a lawyer. He stated that in the case of Jenkins v. Comm. of Stamp Duties, two and two was proven to be four.

The last applicant was an accountant. The businessman asked him, "How much is two and two?"
The accountant got up from his chair, went over to the door, closed it then came back and sat down. He leaned across the desk and said in a low voice, "How much do you want it to be?"

Double blessings and Happy Father's Day...

Had not been writing blogs for the past week or so oredi. Well not really busy though but rather I was very depressed for the couple of week oredi. The reason is because I had not found any job though. Prayed and prayed oredi but then still no answer. What in the world had happened to me? Well I can say nothing bout it. Just that I desperate need the job. It has been sort of like a month oredi since my last job. That why I was so depressed.. Depressed, thinking that God would not had answer my prayer or in fact He hears my prayer but forget to answer me.
But then surprisingly I received two calls for job interview recently. I received a call from KDU yesterday asking me to come for the interview at 8.30am on Tuesday while the other call was from UTAR this morning telling me to come for the interview on Monday morning. I was like, Wow!! So nice. God really had heard my prayer and He is going to bless me with either one of these two jobs. I mean I am going to attend for both interviews. So I hope that good things would happen. Of course I do hope that compared to UTAR and KDU I hope that I would get KDU's job. But then everything depends on Him. So hope that everything would be good then. =) So please pray for me. My post for KDU would be somewhere in accounts department. Don't know yet but do really get good news though.
Anyway I was telling God that once I got a job oredi, I would very much involving myself into kid's ministry in Calvary Church and would attend church camp. I mean there are ppl out there who asked me before to join the church camp but then I do not want to. Cause I felt there is no need of going for the camp. But this time, after a lot of thoughts, I would take the chance to go to church camp if I really do have a job. In fact I was oredi thinking of joining kid's ministry in church but just that I do not where to and I felt troublesome of serving in kid's ministry last time. But now since I am gonna get a job which I do really hope that the interview would be a successful, I think I should start serving in church. To begin with, I think I want to join kid's ministry. Not to say I am good in it, but then I believe God started to pouring out lotsa responsibilities to me nowadays. So must really appreciate the opportunity to serve Him. And I do hope that bad things would come to pass and good things and blessings would start to pour in. =)
Anyway tomorrow is Father's Day. So let us all give our father a toast. Well besides our beloved mom, they too are a part of our family. My dad for instances, although he do not pour out as much love as my mom, but then he is also one of the parent who pour out his everything for us. Just like our heavenly Father, he (earthly) nurtured us and guide us through life. He is the one that scold us and disciplined us. Honestly saying, I am scared of my dad more than my mom. The reason is because the way he trained me is very much different than my mom. He trained me hard. And for a person like him, (he is 70 years old this year) he can't as many as he used to do but then he is still dear in my life. So if any of you hated your own dad, please don't. He has his own reason to scold us. It is for our own good. I used to hate my dad as well when I was young. Well he beat me a lot. But then God choose him out of so many man to be my dad. He did a lot for me as well. Honestly saying, he fetched me here and there in the middle of the night whenever I want to. For instance, he drive me to online just because my house do not have any server. He wake up late at night just to fetch me from Ipoh bus station when I came back from KL late at night. And his advice is still dear to me deep down in my heart although some advices are crap to me even till now. Although it is not spiritual advice (for everyone's information, my dad is not a Christian.), he still give advices. He put me a hard time to speak and write Mandarin even though after a year of tuisyen I did not like to go for the tuisyen. Well now I can speak and write Mandarin. Still not good of course but then better than before. I had my hard way to learn things and somehow or rather I wanna thank him. Actually I wanna thank both my parent as well. They are the one showing me what is the meaning of life using God's wisdom and although I still do not really listens to them. But thank God for them. =)
Anyway just wanna say that Happy Father's Day to everyone. Well may this special day continue to be a day where we can keep on remembering Him, our heavenly Father and not to forget our own beloved earthly father. For without both of them, we are nothing. We bless You Father God and I bless you, my earthly father as well.. So do not forget our beloved father but remember him always. =)

Triple blessings after the forgiving....

Life had been very interesting lately. Well last night my friend, whom I had grudge with finally reconciled with me. Honestly saying, I am not the type of person who would actually take the 1st step and called him and wanted to confront these kind of unforgiveness thingy. I am the type of person who would kept all sort of hurt and anger and even grudge inside me that I am not willing to let go cause the particular person had hurt me. In fact, I am the type of person who would laugh at that particular person when they fall and doing something which is not right and get punished with it.
But then God had been very merciful towards me. He had open lotsa ways for me to go through so that I would learnt to forgive others who would do me wrong. I mean it is not easy to forgive but then God did a rather miraculous things into my life to forgive others. He soften my heart towards other so that I could forgive others and that He could forgiven me. Anyway it is very much a breakthrough to me that these things happened. Now there are a lot of other deep unforgiveness inside me that I need to let go. Because I had let go of something, He restored something new into my life. Well perhaps the new things in my life is I am less burdensome. I am now got lesser and lesser burden to worry about. In fact some of the ppl who had hurt me are now looking for me to be prayed for them. I mean not that exaggerated lah but then when I actually prayed for them, they cried. So I could imagine something new is going to happen into my life.
Anyway there is a new breakthrough in me now. Well I told a friend that I am looking for job. She then inform her uncle and now the uncle want to see me to talk to me about the job. And guess what? It is an audit job. Well hopefully something is going to happen though. And the day of the meeting is perhaps tomorrow since she ask me to call her uncle's office tomorrow. Anyway two days ago, a company by the name of Manpower in Petaling Jaya New Old called me for a job interview as accounts assistant tomorrow. So this is double blessings. And then I went for an interview last Thursday in an audit firm. Well the person in charge of interviewing me told me that they would confirm to me whether I would get the job or not after the interview and guess what? I would know the result by tomorrow as well... So if all things goes well, I would get a lot of answer by tomorrow. So ppl please pray for me to decide whichever is the real way that God wants me to do. Thanks.. And take care.. Wanna go yumcha now.. God bless... =)

Perfectionist...

Today I went to watch R.V. in Cathay Cineleisure Cineplex next to The Curve with Jeffrey Ng and Faisal Haleem. Well the movie was not a bad movie though. It was quite funny at times and at the end of the movie it was quite touching. Well why not, since the main actor for the movie is Robin Williams. The other actress in the movie that I know / heard of is Joanna "JoJo" Levesque. (Well she is actually a singer in US)
Anyway this movie actually touches my heart though. I know of course it is always because Robin Williams is acting in it. Well my favourite movie which he were also acting in was "Patch Adams". Remember that movie? Well the movie for one was one of the best Robin Williams' movie due to because his movies brought in a lot of good and moral value into it, which I believe we all are lacking of due to the modernisation and even due to because we are very much a "kiasu ppl". I would not say that we had learnt it all from the Singaporean but the very fact that we got it is because the kiasu spirit is always inside our life. Perhaps we had learnt it all from our family and it gives us the sense of wanting things. We scared ppl would take away our precious things. So we need to work hard to get it.
A good example would be exams. We want to get the best result for our exams. If we all just pass our exam, we would punish ourselves and cry our life out. And we determine our future. There are ppl out there thinks that they are "Perfectionist". Hey.. me too, you know? A lot of ppl don't know this. (I guess lah) But then as for me, God slowly changed my lifestyle. Well I am not the perfectionist as in studies. But rather I am perfectionist in things that I do. For example, the potbless. When I started organising potbless, I do not want things to go perfectly wrong. Rather I want it perfectly perfect and that no bad incident should destroy it. In fact nothing bad should be happening. That was my thought and philosophy. Another good example is when I was playing computer games. Last night I was at my uncle's house and I was playing this game called Heroes of Might and Magic. It's an old game. In order to defeat the enemy, I would save my game 1st so that if I lose the war, I can still load the game so that I would know what to do next, whether to persue the war in order win the game. My cousin who is currently studying in high school, call me "kiasu felllow". Well honestly saying I agreed with what he said. Imagine a 15, 16 years old kid called me that. I believe in this though. Perfectionist got something to do with "kiasu" spirit. Because we want something, we would not allow ourselves to be defeated and we actually moulded ourselves to be a perfectionist. Truthfully saying, sometimes I do mess up with things. And I felt bad about it. Because of that, I blamed myself a lot. I depressed a lot. For those of them who knows me well enough, they would know that I am very much a negative type of person. First thing that came into my mind when I wanna do something is always failure. Nothing but failure starts 1st. But slowly God changed me. Now I get two mind in me. Failure and success. When I thought of failure, I prayed for success. Otherwise all the potbless would not be done at all. God do not want us to become a perfectionist. Perfectionist do not put God into their life but rather put themselves 1st into their life. Perhaps God goes 2nd or 3rd or 4th or so on. Well it is not what God want for us. This is what I believe.
God wants us to rely on Him and in Him alone. So let us continue to love God and shun perfectionist. In fact we should call ourselves perfectionist anymore. Instead let us call ourselves God's lover and let God handle our life. Btw what I am saying here is not to ask us all not to do what we are supposed to do like studying hard or do other things diligently but rather in all let God be our perfect plan. =) I mean let Him handle our life. That's what I am doing right now. I am still searching for job though. And I am now back in total square one. So I leave it all to God and allow Him to do something in my life. =)
Anyway I do not know why from the movie R.V. I diverted my blog to perfectionist. Anyway Robin Williams rock. I mean of course God rocks also lah.. But Robin Williams can really act his heart out, both comedy and serious character. =) Yup.. Now I know who is my favourite actor oredi.. hahahah... Anyway got to chow now.. Bye.. God bless...

It's Better To Give Than To Receive

A young man, a student in one of the universities, was one day taking a walk with a Professor, who was commonly called the student's friend, from his kindness to those who waited on his instructions.
As they went along, they saw lying in the path a pair of old shoes, which they supposed to belong to a poor man who was employed in a field close by, and who had nearly finished his day's work.
The student turned to the professor, saying: "Let us play the man a trick: we will hide his shoes, and conceal ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his perplexity when he cannot find them."
"My young friend," answered the professor, "we should never amuse ourselves at the expense of the poor. But you are rich, and may give yourself a much greater pleasure by means of this poor man. Put a coin in each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how this affects him."
The student did so and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes.
While putting on his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes, but feeling something hard, he stooped down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Astonishment and wonder were seen upon his countenance. He gazed upon the coin, turned it around, and looked at it again and again.
He then looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be seen.
He now put the money into his pocket, and proceeded to put on the other shoe; but his surprise was doubled on finding the other coin.
His feelings overcame him; he fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and uttered aloud a fervent thanksgiving in which he spoke of his wife who was sick and helpless, and his children without bread, whom this timely bounty, from some unknown hand, would save from perishing.
The student stood there deeply affected, and his eyes filled with tears. "Now," said the professor, are you not much better pleased than if you had played your intended trick?"
The youth replied, "You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget. I feel now the truth of these words, which I never understood before: "It's better to give than to receive."

Happiness cum reconciliation time cum hopeful heart

Tomorrow my mom is coming down to KL. Well I am not sure the reason why she came down but I am quite excited though. One of the reason is because I can meet my mom again. Yippie!!! Not to forget I would be able to stay and eat for free throughout this whole weekend cause I might be going down to KL to meet my mom and stays in my uncle's house. At least I felt saved and secure (i mean in monetary term) since I am going to stay with them. I know there are ppl out there who would be saying the word like, "babi" but hey.. that's my life.. I need to survive. =)
Not to forget, I am going to meet a friend this weekend. Well the reason why this friend is blog here is because well he makes me angry over him and I actually have some grudge over him. I mean I done him no harm but he scolded me. And I kept it within my very own heart the bitterness because of him and his scolding. So I am going to meet up with him since he wanted to see me so desperately after the bad incident. Well one thing I would say here is that I would put an agreement friendship with him, it is something like what I did to a lot of my friends who hurt me. We would be friend and we shall continue to be friend but we would not (try very hard) scold with each other and everybody would make a peaceful talk with anger arouses. There would be no provoking and no angry tone that might attract anger into our own life. I mean I am not compromising anything with him but rather be clear of what we all talk about in order to avoid any argument. Wonder would that work or not? Well it work with a lot of my friend which had been re-conciled. Hope my friendship with him would be the same. =) I came to realised when a friend told me that perhaps I couldn't be blessed by God because I harboured so much of anger and bitterness in me and even unforgiveness too. God couldn't do anything cause I reluctantly to forgive others. That's why I am not blessed until now. Well what my friend say is true as well. So I am planning to make a first step to change and hope by doing that God would bless and touch me. =)
Okay lah.. Got to go and find work oredi.. Planning to apply by post, the job in KDU and UTAR. A friend of mine applied by post the job in UTAR and she get a reply within two days. Hope that me too though.. Honestly I felt more comfortable working either in college environment or in audit line rather than other field. Don't know why. =) Okay lah.. Chow now.. Please ppl continue to pray for me for my job application ya.. God bless.. =)

My belief of why attending Sunday service....

There had been a lot of misguided thoughts of attending church to a lot of ppl. There are some ppl out there who felt their time is wasted by attending Sunday service. Well here in my humble blog, I would like to give a few humble opinion of why attending church or Sunday service is very important. If ever I gave a wrong opinion feel free to "kutuk" or critise me back. Feel free to any feedback. =)
I would like to say this by saying that church is a very important place for Christians to be. Well it is a place where Christians gather together to seek God and worship Him together in unity and in love and peace. It is because of this part of body in Christ that we are all living in harmonised and peaceful life. We prayed together in the church and we have our Holy Communion in the church as well. It is through church that we learnt His Words and it is also through church that we serve Him. For me, church is not just a building. It is a relationship with Him. It is all about ppl. A congregration. It is where we learnt new things and make a new life grow and plant new seed. Perhaps you may say we not necessarily need to do all those ministries in church. We can do it outside church. You are right. We can serve Him outside of the church. But how many of us know that (this is what I believe in) if not because of this Christian gathering, we would not know our callings. We would not know where we are heading. We might not know what God wants from us. You may again say that calling from God is for individual, not just for church. And God speaks to individual. Well you are right again. But in order to serve God, ain't we supposed to serve man? Jesus came down from heaven to serve man and not to be served. In fact Jesus have His own disciples, in fact 12 of them. For me that's church. Theirs are more like walking church cause they do not have their own building. Well we have our own buildings. Some may be big church and have the best architecture and made of the best raw material in the world. Some may be small church, located at a shoplot and may not have air-conditioned room but rather are still using ceiling fans or stand-up fans. But whatever type it is, it is still church. It is where Christian brothers and sisters should go or attend.
Some ppl might said that:, "Hey, the church is very fake, full of hypocritical ppl, full of proud and arrogant ppl, full of whatsoever bad ppl and they are full of love. Rather they are the "faker" of the church with their so-called structured duties and structured lifestyle where when they are in the church, they acted holy but after the church service is over, they are the real devils. They do not show love after the service is over. Instead they act like how the world is doing at the moment and be the "true believer" of the world's lifestyle. They say things they should not say and they do things they should not do. Whoa!!! If I were you, I would also rather stay at home sleep and not wanting to go to church but here's the truth that I believe apply to all of us.
Do you know that Jesus' church are also the same during His public ministry? Peter, one of Jesus' disciple disown Him 3 times after Jesus' sharing. Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. Thomas did not believe that Jesus actually risen from the dead until Jesus shows him His nail wound and putting his finger into His wound (John 20: 24 - 29). I forgot which two of Jesus' disciples but they are brothers and they want Jesus to give them a seat, each at the right and left side when they all went to heaven. And the all the disciples very angry at them. Peter want to walk on the water but lose faith when there is storm happening. Well I can tell you a lot of more stories of different type of faithless disciples of Jesus and they formed Jesus' church.
Anyway what I am trying to tell you is this. There is no one perfect in a church and there are no perfect church. The only perfect church would be the church of Jesus Christ when we all go back to heaven. So if any of you felt that going to church is a waste of time, then Jesus Christ's church is also a waste of time and that His disciples are declared as failures since they failed to obey Him. God never call us failure cause we are not. We are able to rise up because God is for us. In my own understanding, we called an individual who is follower of Jesus Christ a Christian, but we called lots of invidual who follows Jesus as Christians or "The Church" because the church is make up of many Christians. Everybody during Jesus' that time was actually trying to seek His will and obey Him. So every Christians in the current Christian gathering of what we called a church now is seeking to know Him and obey Him and follow His will. So let us go to church to seek Him (our primary concern) and obey Him and not seek man, for seeking man would definitely hurt us a lot. That is what the 12 disciples were doing during Jesus' time.
So let us be blessed and attend the Sunday Service rather than seeking man. Man hurts but God don't. God bless... =)

A short prayer request

I got a prayer request. A very, very, very big decision I got to make here.. But then it is all depends on God Almighty. If the decision does not work out, then well... praise God. But if it work out also, praise God for it. So basically I do not know what to do.
It was about my job. Well I found a job as an audit assistant in newspaper a week ago. Due to because I was busy with my exam last week and perhaps due to my laziness as well (bad me), I did not call them for an interview. In fact I was lazying around doing nothing, eat and sleep. I make myself promise that I would find a job within this week or perhaps next weeks. Thank God I got my two testomonial letter from SEGi two days ago. With that two testimonial letter, I can actually start looking for a job oredi. So yesterday was the 1st day I actually preparing myself for a job. And today I completed my resume and I even sent online job application to UTAR as administrative assistant. Then just now I gave myself a try by calling the audit firm which I found last week and the respond back was the vacancy had been filled. A bit unhappy bout it but then what can I do? I applied for the job late. =(
Brought today's newspaper as well. Well there is no many such job as audit assistant type of job available at the moment. The one available at the moment was audit assistant in Setapak, KL and some other parts of KL which I do not think I want to work at. 1st of all, it is very far from Damanasara. Everyone may say, take public transport there lah. Well I could not afford though if the salary for that particular job is RM1200 ++. At least I need RM1500 to RM1700 which is super hard to get since I got no experience whatsoever in audit line yet. If I were to move nearer to the place where my office is, well I would not want to move. It is not because I am into comfort zone. But rather I believe Damansara Jaya area is one of the safest place here in Klang Valley. I mean which is more important, earning big amount of money or your life? Sure life right? But then it is still depends on the place itself though. But what can I say? Damansara Jaya here is super convenient for those of us who do not own private vehicle. Everything is provided here.
Anyway someone suggested that why not I go back to Ipoh since I am from Ipoh and perhaps Ipoh got greener pasture and furthermore I do not need to waste money renting room cause I got my own home? Well he is right of course. That's why I am considering that option. But then I do not want to lose God's blessing on me. I mean I go where God did not says go. But in the other hand, my parent are getting old. I believe it is time for me to go back to take care of them. I don't know lah. That's why this one short blog is my prayer request. I hope that I can be able to go where God wants me to go. =) Thanks for praying for me. God bless you all... =)

A new discoveries of Da VinCi Code...

I was in The Curve last night with Jia Hsien, browsing through some books in Borders while waiting for Kenny who went there for his body fitness purposes. While waiting for him, Jia Hsien showed me the painting of The Last Supper. And as I was looking at the picture (Ppl were commenting that the person in the painting, sitting next to Jesus were Mary Magdalene and not John the Apostle as mentioned) I was wondering.
Well as far as I know there is no one in the world or not even any machine can trace the real face of our Lord Jesus Christ. (I was taught this when I was young, that no one knows the real face of our Lord Jesus. The persons who saw and met Him had died thousand years ago and they were all His twelve disciples and all His followers). As far as I know that, Leonardo da Vinci could not have been to know His real face because i) he was born in the year of 1452 which was more than 1000 years after Jesus' resurrection. ii) he is an Italian and Jesus is a Jews by birth and Italy is located in European contingent and not anywhere in Middle East. iii) let's say if what Dan Brown's claim is true according to his book that it was Mary Magdalene who sits next to Jesus and not John the Apostle as mentioned, then WOW!!! Leonardo da Vinci sure have a wild and interesting imagination and as for Dan Brown (I think he is foolish), to choose to believe that Leonardo da Vinci's painting contains such secrets to life. Well obviously I can say that Leonardo da Vinci never met Jesus face to face before. How could he able to use his painting to point out the secrets of Jesus Christ. In actual fact, the is no such things called marriage between Jesus and Mary. If ppl tend to believe that, show me who His descendant is? I mean the real life descendant. We cannot point it out, can't we? Why? Cause there is no such person in the world. It is all make-up stories, perhaps to bluff some small kids and we, the adult tend to believed the bluffness of the book. There is this two different words called fiction and fact, which I believed everybody knows the meaning of it. For those of you who do not know the meaning, let me tell you the meaning of both. Fiction means make-up stories, not true and there is no real historical event in it while facts mean it is a real life stories, true event and it historical based on its place of origin, its real life stories, real struggle etc etc. And guess what? The entire story of The Da Vinci Code is knowns as Fiction Story. I mean even the bookstore all overall Malaysia had labelled that even in the first place oredi. Which eyes of The DaVinci believers who believed in whatever the book says are blind and can't read that word, Fiction?
But thank God. He actually show us the way to be able to see again. Well since the confused believers of The Da Vinci Code book are so confused with the whole idea of the DVC theory, the open is to them. What you, the confused ppl should do is, go and get any Christian friends of yours to actually tell you the whole accurate stories of Jesus Christ and let no Dan Brown's book blinded you anymore. He who knows the truth shall be set free. So let the truth set us free.
I believed in this. Leonardo da Vinci actually drew the The Last Supper painting according to his own imagination. And it is not intentend to harm anybody. It is somebody who use the painting to divert the lost soul from the truth of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. And now with newer and different version of books that come out that somehow or rather going against Jesus Christ, such as The Gospel Of Judas and other similiar books, let us not be blinded anymore but rather let us be more alert that we would not fall into such doubt anymore over our the promises of Lord Jesus Christ and over who He really is. God bless...
