Happy New Year!

It has been mainstream for one to say that 2013 was not their year and hope 2014 would be a better year for them. 

Upon reflection, I personally wanted to say 2013 was a great year. It definitely had its ups and downs, many things took place but if not for God, i would really be nothing. Hence I really wanna thank God for always being faithful in my life.

Some of the highlights:

• i moved out from my Klang home (comfort zone) to stay with friends (Feb)
• i started doing my own laundry, cooking meals, cleaning (occasionally)
• became a home barista (loving it!)
• travelled to Bandung, Indonesia (Feb); Krabi, Thailand (Sept) and Jogja, Indonesia (Oct)
• started new job (new career and super blessed with great colleagues and most importantly, an awesome immediate superior! (Oct)
• signed up for Gorgeous Fitness aiming to be really fit (yes, i've gained those muscles now but haven'd shed those fats away yet --- 2014 aim! 22% fats)
• started outstation to East Malaysia (and went to Brunei and Kota Kinabalu, Sabah) for my very first time! *excitement*
• signed the offer letter (for home loan) and bought my very first own property (Oct-Dec)

Like said, definitely there were hiccups throughout the year but looking back, God has really blessed me. I really want to take this opportunity to thank God for my family, good company and colleagues (and awesome team!), good friends around and my loved one. I pray that God's hands will continue to move through my life and I could be His walking testimony of His faithfulness in my life. 

I can't thank You more. 

And now, I welcome 2014 with open arms, believing that GREATER THINGS ARE YET TO COME! THANK YOU LORD! (:

Different Seasons In Our Lives

Last week, during the closing of the service, Pastor James Gen shared something really beautiful. It was something about us being different seasons in our lives. 

Winter - things are cold, harsh, no living things, not pleasant
Spring - there are buddings everywhere, living things start growing, there's hope
Summer - everything is around, beautiful, promising
Autumn - fruits are ripe, a season to harvest

Such beautiful analogy! In lives, we may all be in different seasons. Be it in our career, family, relationships. During Winter, things may be cold, not working the way we wanted, harsh and not pleasant. But if only we endure through, Hope (Spring) will come our way! After Hope, will come Promise and after Promise, will come a season to Harvest. Such a beauty isn't it? (:

Hope in whatever seasons you're in, remember that Hope, Promises & Harvest is waiting to come! Be blessed guys! (:

Self-pity People

I'm not sure if you're come across people in your lives that are self-pity? I just found out a few today. Really sad!

It's so disappointing when i found out about these people. People who are capable to work but may not be the most top having to push other people around them down in order to be seen. This is really pitiful! 

They would spend most of their times convincing each other (the alike types of people) to build a bigger force and spend their time gossiping and complaining away about other people so that they will feel better. Especially when they agree with each other (same comfort sentences). 

I wouldn't say that self-pity is a bad trait (at least they know what they're lacking in, and they should continue to pursue what they couldn't have). But its really unhealthy to wanting to build bigger forces and ruin relationships and friendships as they go on. 

Its really sad if they're in your workforce. I'm glad I've made the right move, really disappointing! :(

2 November.

Today when I was speaking to Alvin, Alvina overheard our conversation and told me something very encouraging.

"You're someone who impacted me alot and have big influence in my Christian life"

I thank God that i was given a chance to be able to be part of her life and to be able to impact her in a way or another.

And it was a great timely reminder. What am I doing now and what have I been doing? Have I been encouraging people and impacting others as my day goes? Or have i totally forgotten my role on earth?

Thank You Lord.

And sempena Hari Deepavali today, Saturday service had a henna booth. Eventhough it may be just a temporary 'engrave', I took to this opportunity to remind myself on God's favour in my life (and whenever i flex my biceps, the favour gets really BIG -- like a BIG FAVOUR).

Have a great weekend everyone!

20.10.2013

Made one of the biggest decisions in my life (other than following Jesus).

Let's pray it was a sound decision and blessings will overflow from there. Thank You Lord! :)

17 October 2013

Second day of work.

Self-study. Cant believe i'm going through Immunology all over again.

The quiet working environment, the desktop, the swivel chair, the cold aircond, the coffee tumbler, the iPod, the notebook and pen and alone! Like those days in Monash library aje?

Supposed to be out on field with colleague after lunch. She just told me that she'd be on mc, so looks like i'll get stuck in this freezer for today. Don't get me wrong, i'm still enjoying myself at work! Lets see how much my brain can absorb today (:

First Day At Work

After a long hiatus, i decided to blog again. Didn't know some of my old writings actually touched some hearts and I believe that i need to write again to brag about His favour in my life. And with this i hope you will be loved and encouraged.

16 October 2013

Marks my first day of work in my new company, Novartis. Another sixteen, just like how i started with my first job on sixteen February 2009. And that was 4.5 years ago. How time flies

And today i want to thank God on where He has led me so far and all the providences and favor that He has showered upon me. I wouldn't be anywhere here if not for Him.

 

 

This is my daily prayer and my mobile phone's lock screen wallpaper. 

 

Although today is only my first day, I thank God for blessing me with a super awesome team with awesome manager, Michael Cheah; with super awesome team members Lennie, Michael Cheng, Charmaine (felt so welcome eventhough she's still at Europe now) as well as Jun and Er-win. Only good things come from God, definitely. Looking forward to greater time and to bring this team to greater heights together, with His favour and blessings overflowing in this team! Thank You Lord!

The Power of Proclamation.

speaking of power of proclamation.

the other day i was supposed to meet buddy for lunch at 1pm in pyramid (she was working at the the convention centre for the Megatex fair). it was a saturday and i was running late already 12.50pm and my car was literally crawling in with the heavy traffic into the parking lot.

i was a li'l worried bout having to go round and round for a parking space (pyramid is famous for its no-parking especially on weekends) since i was already going to be late!

as usual i proclaimed, "God give me a good parking space!" when i was on my way in

and then i remembered what i shared with my cell members the night before. i told them to pray specifically. not just "please give me good results" as 3As for pmr may be considered as good already. pray specifically like, "please give me 7As for my pmr" or for anything.

then i corrected my proclamation. i said "God, please give me a parking IN FRONT OF THE ENTRANCE of the RED ZONE (because red zone's lift will bring me straight to the convention centre) of sunway pyramid. thank you"

so as i got in to the carpark, the entire route was stalled with cars (i was at the orange zone that time) and 2 guys were walking towards their car. my eyes followed them through and guess what, the 2nd car in front of me signaled for that parking and i was like, "aiks!" i was a little disappointed before i realise that, hey, i asked for a parking in front of the entrance of red zone. this is not even red zone and its very far from the entrance (heh, no parking somemore dare to demand so much)

right after that, i made my way all the way to red zone with a li'l shaky faith wondering if this kind of proclamation works or not and guess what. only when i arrived somewhere near the entrance of the red zone, A VAN REVERSED and gave me that parking space RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE ENTRANCE of the RED ZONE once i've arrived when other cars still busy looking for a parking space. and that elevator (at B1) sent me right to the entrance of the convention centre (CP3)

how amazing was that!!

honestly i believe most of the time we don't believe in all these things and we always feel that our problem is too tiny for God. no!

so people, start using this gift, this power of proclamation that's given to you! (:

My First Sodomy.

yes, i sodomized myself with this

quite cool actually. once the liquid goes in, it gives you the same urge like you really need to ease yourself but sad to say, only liquid and gases came out of it. and one miserable nicely coloured and shaped tp.

i think i don't have enough tp in there la. must find way! (:

p/s: oh btw, this sodomyprop very cheap only. rm1.60 for two, in Guardian

Extraordinary Favour in Ordinary Lives.

just got back from camp 28th-31st Dec 2010 and i got reminded again on the special favour of God in our lives.

extraordinary favour in ordinary lives!

just yesterday i went for movie with buddy. we were kinda arguing to pay and the careless me passed rm50 to the ticketing counter and walked away with the tickets without the extra change back. forgotten! carelessness!

2 hours later when we went to get snacks for the movie, i wanted to pay and just found out that i don't have any small change. only then i realise that i forgotten to get back the change after buying the tickets.

we planned to ask the ticketing counter and see, but look, there's no receipts or any sort of real proofs to show or to demand for my loss. i mean, they could have said that they've already passed the money to me or i might lost it on my way or something. there's no proof!

but guess what, by faith, i went up to the same guy and asked if he could remember us and related the entire incident to him and he actually remember us and passed back the exact change to us!

what is it if its not God's favour! it was so inevitable that both Jay and i are still amazed and impressed (:

(:

The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling, and even more beautiful, is knowing that you are the reason behind it (:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY!!

Hope the surprise was pleasant and you enjoyed yourself! Hope you love the gift too. I love you!

Magnum.

just only the other day, i was caught in a bad crawl along Jalan Pudu and on my right was Wisma Magnum. This building looks new, standing tall amongst the other buildings there.

when i took a little time off to observe, i saw the grandprize jackpot's figure, stated with red-coloured digital figures of the entrance wall. MYR 7 xxx xxx, it reads.

other than that, i also saw quite a number of old man, definitely passed their retiring age, in their bermuda khakis shorts and short-sleeved shirts, loitering at the corridor of this building

instead of despising them as gamblers, my heart actually felt for them.

i believe, these men, they'd know the probability of hitting the jackpot prize is almost impossible. however, they'd still continue buying those tickets hoping that they'd be the lucky one hitting the jackpot.

these people, they're not exactly those that only hope that large sum of money would drop for them and do not need to work forever. these people are actually buying hopes, they're buying chance, they're buying dreams

if only they know that He's their hope.

Just like my grandpa. He buys those 4D (i think) for the past decades and he has not even won rm300. Apparently its just a game and its okay to lose. He was daydreaming the other time when i visited him and he was so excited and imagine that if he wins it, he's gonna use all the money on us (his grandchildren) who wants to study. He wants to pay for all my education and hope that i continue studying till i finish my PhD or medicine.

See, at his old age he's not hoping for more like, driving a new car or getting a bigger house or go travelling. Apparently his joy is in us.

Yeah, so this is what I mean by buying hope.

p/s: fyi i'm not condoning any gambling activities here. Just like God, He hates sins, but He loves sinners (:

He Listens.

so i whispered a little prayer..

and oh, He heard me! what a joy!

friend, i'm so proud of you! i challenge you to get well even sooner so that we can have dinner together and play badminton together k? be strong!

Being Unwell Is Part of Life.

is this the not-feeling-well season or what? so many people around me seemed to be unwell. first agnes, then buddy also.

it may be just a common cold, but i dont know why i'm super worried for buddy when she first got it. and it aches me whenever she tells me the negative progressions and how i wish i could anything for her. it may be a normal thing to fall sick once a while, but somehow this time i really prayed hard for her speedy recovery so that she could enjoy her trip and will not feel unwell. i feel so helpless but to be by her side at all time and do whatever i can, those little things.

thank God you're alot better now (:

today for the very first time in my life, i entered the ICU to visit a friend. and oh my, i was totally shocked and just can't accept the fact. seeing all the tubes being connected to her all over, unable to move or talk or omg, this is just sick!

my heart sank when i found out that she actually collapsed with no heart beat and pulse, and the paramedics and doctors had to resuscitate her with CPR. and even that, she was on life support for both her heart and lungs. her liver's damaged too, and her kidneys can't seemed to function well and she's temporarily on dialysis.

i literally stoned not knowing what to do or say when i met her, a friend that i could hardly recognise because of the water retention and swelling all over.

so i whispered a little prayer and i believe He is watching over her (:

Just some random updates

---

BMR status progress: not too sure.

drink lots of water -- positive

have lots of sleep -- negative (haven't been sleeping well for the past week)

chronic stress -- positive (work!!)

oh no!

(but on the other hand, i lost 2 kgs. i don't know if its the stress thing or what. not good, i need an increase metabolism rate. like, really badly!

and oh, The Cousins and i have registered for the Nike City Run this coming 10.10.10. Probably the pre-training for this run would help to increase my BMR a little more *fingers crossed*

Discipline, i really need the discipline!

---

Just bid goodbye to Quarter 3 and welcoming Quarter 4 with open arms. Thank God for His grace and favour. If not for them, I don't think I would have made it to hit the horrendous target for Q3.

Q4, I'm expecting good news from you!

---

October and November's gonna be busy busy months. Not to mention the weekends I've gotta spend with Nestle.

Nov - Diabetes Month? A.K.A more events!

Dec - yay camp!

---

Yesterday I was at Pappa Rich with Buddy. A girl actually sent a waitress to our table to pass us a note asking if we could be her friend. With phone numbers included.

Talking bout boldness act!

---

Was driving back on NKVE just now and this line kept flashing in my cerebrum: do the right thing at the right time

probably a gentle reminder.

just like how the Apostle Paul puts it, "the things that I should to do, I don't do. The things that I shouldn't do, I do." Heh, yeah somewhere along that line.

and oh, does that includes falling in love with someone at the wrong time too?

The Chinese Believes...

.. that after taking these,

(peanut root soup)

we'll grow taller! its like some kind of secret remedy. i had quite a few bowl back in those days but nope, i'm still me, i mean my height.

---

another belief is that when we take too much of kangkung (water spinach), we'll get cramps. apparently another name for this veg is 抽筋菜 (cramp vegetable) and its believed that one who takes this will get leg cramps at night because of its cooling element.

and yeap, i had leg cramps again this morning at 6.37am. it was so painful when the muscle pulls!

maybe the chinese may be right sometimes (:

happy 5th buddyship day.

you may caci me all you want but i still like you. thanks for being my buddy.

*tight hugs*

Boobies Insights.

I don't know how true is this la, but which insane man would like to just look/stare at boobies for 10 minutes everyday? When looking/staring, I'm imagining hands-free i.e no other activities.

Okay la, even if they want to, which wife to let them exercise for 10 mins everyday? Haha!

And oh buddy, shouldn't you be thankful that I've saved your assets. And I'm still trying to save others' ones too! (: *superman in action heh!
