Blessed

"...And then one day I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain.
And then as death gives way to victory,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives.


Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone!
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives!"

Taken from Bill and Gloria Gaither's hymn Because He Lives

Blessed Easter, everyone. Remember, Jesus Christ died for your sins and rose from the dead so that we may have eternal life!


Love & Peace!~

Beaten over the weekend?

No one was abused over the weekend, nor was there a fist fight which went on in a school.

But a lot happened over the weekend.

Melissa D and me were among those who helped Clictus at the Radiant Discovery Amusement Centre (game booth) during the Methodist Girls' School (Penang) Pestaria 2011 on Saturday!

While Melissa handled the Sudoku station, i was in-charge of the Bottle-up station. What is it all about? It's simple a carnival game where one has to make a glass bottle stand on a slanted platform by using a 'fishing rod' with a ring at the end of it.

But after arranging the bottle one time too many, and when the fund-raising event was over, we were all dead tired. But my ordeal started the following day, when my legs hurt like mad!

It was so bad, that i could hardly walk on Sunday!

And to add salt to the wound, this was what happened to my car while the Pestaria was going on.

What the heck?! Picture taken by Melissa D

Yes, someone actually hit into my car. Note that the excess part of the car IS NOT part of my car, but a souvenir left by the person who scrapped through my car.

What a day!

And not to mention, Barisan Nasional won two-third of the seats in the recent Sarawak state elections on that night

Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud is sworn in as the Chief Minister. Again.

And there are those who were frustrated that BN is still the government in Sarawak.

But i was encouraged by what Pastor Palan said in church the follwoing day, that "God works in ways we do not understand."

Well, to look into these matters through another perspective, i believe not all's bad.

I mean, there are more seats held by the Pakatan Rakyat this time around, and some heavyweight, like SUPP's Tan Sri Dr George Chan took a beating from the elections. Maybe there's something bigger which is yet to come!

And at least i can still drive my car around, and it's just scratches on the side. My Werb Boom Boom can move fine!

And so does my legs... but it's time to hit the gym, and beat myself up to shape! And God is good!

Easter's coming. Just remember, Jesus Christ died for your sins, readers!

"I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down..."

A Day

While waiting in traffic on the way to work, what else can you do besides listening to the radio, eating breakfast, scolding the slower driver who is holding up traffic and texting?

Taking photos!

Yeah, that was my breakfast this morning as i was heading off to work.

Why peach-flavoured yogurt?
Because it's better than kiwi yogurt.

Why it the lighting to bright?
Because it was not raining... and i put the wrong setting.

Why were there so many cars at that time?
Because everyone is going to work or school... or somewhere.

Why did i take the picture?
Just for kicks!

Is there any message to this picture?
If you can multi-task, eat and drive... without the police pulling you over. HAHAHA!~

Have a great weekend ahead! Both Melissa D and me, and a bunch of friends will be at the Methodist Girls' School (Penang) Pestaria 2011! Do join us if possible?

Love & Peace!~

Getting Blackberry-ed?

Last week, my colleagues and I were given instructions to sign-up for a Blackberry each.

Honestly, I'm happy to get a BB myself. It will be nifty to get work done will on the go without bringing the laptop around, and I'm accessible to the Internet (almost) anywhere! (Plus, I can blog more often... But that's a matter of discipline.)

But after we discussed with our KL colleagues, a few questions popped up - like whether the whole BB was paid by us or the company? Who'll pay for the usage? Does the BB ultimately belong to us or not?

We were a little worried.

No updates bout this yet. But will blog about it once the deal goes through.

Got this forwarded email from my friend Enoch Abraham several days ago, and it was hilarious.

Somewhat, it fits the timing now, with the state elections in Sarawak. Do read it with an open mind and a sense of humour.

Heaven vs Hell 

Whilst walking down the street one day a Malaysian “Boleh” Minister is tragically hit by a truck and dies. His soul arrives in HEAVEN and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. 

St. Peter: Welcome to HEAVEN. Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we’re not sure what to do with you. 

Yang Berhormat: No problem, just let me in. 

St. Peter: Well, I’d like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we’ll do is you have to spend one day in HELL and one in HEAVEN. Then you can chose, where to spend eternity. 

Yang Berhormat: Really, I have made up my mind. I want to be in HEAVEN. 

St. Peter: I’m sorry, but we have our rules.

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down, down to HELL. 

The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course.
In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it, are all his friends and other politicians who had worked for him.
Everyone is very happy and dressed in the finest batik there is. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.
They play a friendly game of golf and then indulge themselves on lobsters, caviar and the most expensive food. 

Also present is the DEVIL , who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realises it, it is time to go.
Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises. 

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in HEAVEN where St. Peter is waiting for him. 

St. Peter: Now it’s time to visit HEAVEN. 

So, 24 hours pass with the Yang Berhormat joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing.
They have a good time and, before he realises it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns. 

St. Peter: Well, then, you have spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity. 

Yang Berhormat: Well, I would never have said it before. I mean HEAVEN has been delightful, but I think I am better off in HELL. 

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to HELL. Now the doors of the elevator open and he’s in a middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. 

He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.

The DEVIL comes over to him and puts his hands around his shoulder. 

Yang Berhormat: I don’t understand. Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there’s just wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened? 

The DEVIL(smilingly): Yesterday we were campaigning just like you during an election…Today you VOTED.

Moral of the story? USE YOUR VOTE INTELLIGENTLY !!!

Have a good week ahead, readers!

It's all part of the job.

As i was going back from Balik Pulau, this was the wonderful view i got to witness. Green, dipped with blue under the open sky and bright sun; it just reminds me how great and creative God is.

And why i enjoy my job.

I maybe running late on that day, almost crashed into the divider twice, and wasted a little time before i could get back to office, but i'm happy with what i do.

I read this on facebook, about signs it's time to quite your job.Click HERE to read the article. For me, i'm faraway from those signs.

And i praise God for everything He has done for me. It's all in a day's job.
