JAN 2010 updates

It has been 2 months since I started my first job.
I have always wanted to blog about how I got my job and other stuff BUT...


Anyway, if some of you don't know,I'm now working as a Technical Support Specialist at Dell Penang.
It's amazing how I got the job. Law of Attraction????....neh...I clearly know that God was involved.
For now I haven't got time to give out details...


Now for some human stuff....it may sound a bit down but I guess I am being human...


As a normal guy, I'm starting to think how on earth am I gonna get a girlfriend if I don't mix around. Dell has lots of girls but there ain't any interaction. Church? haih... haha...thinking of a relationship does scare me...I just wanna hang out for now but at the same time not do anything wrong or stupid...


As a christian, this new year I was reminded again how simple it is say and think about reading the bible and pray but never really doing it...it's like having an antivirus but not updating it...
I'm still not really involved in my church...


As a football enthusiast, Liverpool has been disappointing...so is my real life football form...my club Youngsters' United FC also not doing well...where are the young people who are passionate for the game????


I was just watching "Yes Man" starring Jim Carrey...and I felt emo ..lolz...I had to finish that show and sacrifice some sleep...and then I thought I should blog...if not I won't ever do it...I guess it's just for the few out there who have nothing better to do than to read what this guy has to say...

New Year but...

..but still not much changes...many old habits still lying around

If you don't live by priorities, you live by pressure....that's a quote I remember from ACTS church..

I have been busy with work..after work pula I just wanna do every other thing but not the important things..

I stare at the computer screen for a minimum total of 7 hours per working day...no kidding..sleeping less than 6 hrs per day...then play football almost everyday....crazy..that's why i look so thin now...

i want to blog and read blogs but ...haih..

currently i had a discussion with a Malay friend regarding the usage of "Allah"..still an ongoing and very tough topic indeed...took me lots of time to reply...

I wonder what I'll do with the blog layout for this year...this is another unimportant thing which maytake lots of time...

How a guy got my classmate

Just the past Saturday, I attended my Form 6 classmate's wedding dinner.

There was a session for the couple to share a few words. What my classmate shared and what happened after that was interesting,  i think. ;p You'll see at the end.

Before that, here are some wedding jokes you may have heard before.

Marriage is not a word. It's a sentence....(a life sentence!).

Marriage is a 3-ring circus - engagement ring, wedding ring and Suffering.

A happy marriage is a matter of give and take; the wife gives and the husband takes.

lolz

K k ..back to the story. My classmate told us of how the guy managed to get her to go out with her for the first time. Just the same old techniques lah....I hope I don't spoil the story though..I think I forgot some parts but it still won't change the story that much.

To keep it short, here's the summary. Kinda like a korean drama.

Guy and girl met at carpark after work. 

Guy asks girl if she is from Butterworth???...(we all know that is lame....)

Girl says No....

Guy asks if girl is free for coffee tonight.

Girl says No...

Girl drives off. Guy somehow seems to be following.

Girl make a detour to avoid guy from knowing where she stayed.

Guy contacts girl on MSN.

Guy reminds girl of lame question.

Explains why. (which is also lame)

Asks girl out for dinner.

Girl jual mahal...say No.

Guy somehow got girl's hp no.

Girl receives SMS.

Guy invites girls for movie.

Girl says yes wor....(she said she dunno why..............eleh....)

Guy makes it a dinner and movie in one night.

The rest is history.....

Watliau...

Wait wait wait...story not yet end...

It seemed that the story was an "encouragement" for some people...maybe just this particular guy.

That night, as I was hanging around, I overheard a guy talking to a girl.

She was already talking to another friend but he somehow joined in a while.

His first move was to hand her his business card.

After a while, as he was leaving, he asked how they would be able to keep in touch...(can you imagine that brief awkward moment of silence?)

He had to ask" Do you have MSN?"  ...lolz..

As i was listening, I was holding myself from laughing....

Anyway, the girl promptly replied that she will email him...(on business card got email ma...)hahaha

He then left...do you think he will succeed? who knows?....haha

I guess girls would want guys to have the guts to ask them out...

I only tried the "ICQ method" once lolz...guess what.....? it worked wor....but it wasn't for the purpose of asking the girl out lah...hehe...anyway,but that relationship didn't happen...that's a story some of you already know...hehe

XOXXOXOXOXOXXOXOXOXOXOXXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXXOXOXOXOXO

History's Most Spectacular Sin

It really wouldn't take much of your time to read through this.As a christian,if you don't ask questions and seek for answers, perhaps you've gone cold. I totally understand it. But we've got no excuse with technology at our fingertips.

The most spectacular sin in the history of the world is the murder of the innocent, pure, perfect, and infinitely worthy Son of God. And at the center of that evil is the Satan-empowered betrayal of Jesus by his friend, Judas.

What was Judas’ role in relation to Satan’s power in this betrayal? Why would Satan assist in bringing Jesus to death, when it would ultimately result in his own destruction? And, most importantly, where was God in all this?

In this 16-page outreach booklet John Piper considers these important questions, and arrives at the stunning conclusion that the invisible hand and plan of God are behind the most spectacular sins in all the universe.

Get it here.

being who you are

I was and am still down with "red eyes". It's really bad coz I was tearing so often since tuesday night. Had 2 days of MC. As I struggle to keep my eyes open, I'll just blog something.

If you're struggling not to do certain things which u know are wrong, you're not abnormal. You're being who you are. You know you don't wanna do things which will hurt yourself in the future.

If you're struggling to do what is right, you are being who yo chose to be. That is who you are. You chose to be a person who would suffer for the greater good. Even if you chose otherwise, can you really be at peace with yourself?

It does take a long time to mold your character. Life isn't fair. I think it will be kinda boring to have a fair world. I believe when you achieve greatness in the future, nobody can be like you coz they never went tru what u went tru.

We all need to be pruned in order to be who we are. Another long and painful process.

God wants to make the difference in our lives, so quit trying to be the same like everyone else.

I was complaining bout money issues. But then somehow i heard this story bout a man who complained that he couldn't give his daughter what she wanted, a pair of new shoes. She was always wearing the same old one everywhere she went.
This man's complains were overheard by a rich couple. They came to him and told him that they give all they had to see their daughter wear those old shoes that man was complaining about. Why? Coz their daughter had her 2 legs amputated due to an accident. That man walked away speechless.

Loveless Part 1

Is anyone of you out there feeling that nobody loves you? That you also find it hard to love due to so many disappointments? Had a broken family? Betrayed many times? Or maybe you're not able to be loved bcoz of a defect that u have? etc. U know what I mean...

I have friends which fit the above categories. I don't really know what to say when they compare themselves with other "happier" people who have good families, etc.

I would like to say that God's love is enough but clearly those words don't mean anything to them (even we ourselves are still discovering God and are so forgetful although God has shown His love in the past)

I was looking for examples or role models. If God is love, then how come I can't think of at least one person who has gone through tough times and seen God's faithfulness? How come? I prayed and asked God from time to time.

Guess what? The person I was looking for has always been there. Who else can be a better and reliable example than my one and only MOM????

Yup. The queen of my house. Since my bro and I were young, she has been telling us her life stories. She forgets and repeats them again and again sometimes. She even showed us all the love letters my dad wrote to her. Fuiyo, got macam-macam lo - cartoons,stickers,poems, etc. I never really saw that creative side in my dad.

I would like to tell every challenge my mom had to go through but some things are not that suitable to reveal here yet. I'll try to summarize.

She never stayed with her own mom most of the time but was stayed with her aunt. Life was kinda like Cinderella coz she had gone through tough times from the "evil" aunt, 1 cousin sister and 1 adopted sister. That aunt never treated my mom well. Of coz la, not her own ma. She was well known for her unpleasant attitude and foul mouth.

In a gist, my dad was in the picture and they left for KL to work when they were 17(if i'm not wrong). My mom never finished secondary school and had lots of red ink in her report book.

I don't want to go into details about what my dad did since those days till now. Only very few out there know. All i can say any woman wouldn't want to be in my mom's shoes. (There's just so much but i can't tell, so don't look down on the immense pain my mom had to go through)

Even my bro and I also contributed tomom's headache and heartache. Haha. Maybe I caused more la. lolz

What's the point of me telling you all this???????

Well, the story isn't complete if I don't tell you a few things she did right, which brought her to where she is today. This is no joke coz mom was really really hurt throughout her life.

I've heard people say that there's no point in loving, in sowing into others' lives, in doing good, in giving, etc. Mom chose to love. She chose to invest love into other lives. Indeed, she had to learn and be broken by God here and there in order to deal with certain "inner monsters" which developed due to her past and bitterness.

Among the things she did were as follows.
-she took care of her old and sick mom who didn't really take care of her when she was young.

-she also went back to that eveil aunt to share the gospel only to be bombarded. Mom faithfully prayed for her. It had to happen. The evil old aunt had cancer. Who brought her home and took care of her? Yup, mom did so and this time, the aunt accepted Jesus. Unthinkable.

-dad. Countless time already lah my mom forgave him. haih...Enuf said.

-she continued to invest in others' lives despite our financial difficulty

-she tried to reach out and love the cousin sister only to be betrayed and threatened. That's another story. All i can say is God avenged us.

-that adopted sister pula very ungrateful. Lazy to talk bout her lah.. -almost every time it was my mom who went to make right with "those women" who seem to love to step on my mom's tail.

ok..my mind is lagging now. Can't say anymore although there's more.

Conclusion, my mom followed Jesus when she was 17(i think)and never turned back despite so many many tough times. She learned and obeyed God's principles and most importantly, she never neglected love. She never received the love she wanted from people but as she chose to give first, she lived a better life instead of a bitter one. I don't have time to tell you the good things she received form God.

Clearly, she had to rely on the one and only person who really loves her,God. Even my bro and I fail her all the time.

That's all for now.
XOXO
