My heart's secret...

I love you...
and I miss you like crazy...
Just want to be with you
ALWAYS...
Even if we don't talk,
the silence between us
lets me feel the passing moments...
So that I remember the time we had.

King Kong - it's all about love~

It was love that made Carl Denham (Jack Black) do what he did and never gave up, not even when his unprocessed films were exposed. He still managed to bring his dream to the audience in the theater.

It was love for self that Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts) accepted the cast to earn a living for survival.

It was love for a woman that Jack Driscoll (Adrien Brody) had the bravery to fight all course to save his love. He risked it all and continued to search with only hope that Ann would still be alive.

And it was love that King Kong wanted. His emptiness and loneliness was filled when Ann became part of his life. Because of love, he protected her from anything that threatened her life. And he stormed the city in search of his love despite all obstacles.

I watched this 3-hour movie and all I see is love. Love is so powerful that builds one or tears one apart. It brings you smiles and flames you to anger. Love keeps people hoping and believing...

So as the bible says in 1 Corinthians 13:13, "So these three things remain: faith, hope and love. But the best one of these is love."

First Christmas... in Studeo

2005...
my first Christmas
with my family in Studeo!
Gifts exchange
Love exchange
It's a merry celebration
and
May the good Lord
bless my new family here.

Blessed Merry Berry Christmas!

Christmas is...

In all of the Christmas celebration, carols, laughter and joy... we tend to forget we have this season because of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. We definitely block out the reason for the coming of Christ.

Each Christmas, we exchange gifts among ourselves. Let me share with you, another gift exchange I experienced in my life. It was so unbalanced that it is hard to believe. This exchange transpired when I first believed and accepted the fact that Jesus had died for my sins. I gave him my sins, and He gave me His goodness and forgiveness. I gave Him my disobedience, and He gave me eternal life with the Father. I gave Him my greedy selfish nature, and He gave me His life's bloodshed on the cross, in excruciating pain.

How totally unbalanced is that? I got everything wonderful and gave him my bag of sinful garbage. The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:21 that God took the sinless Christ and poured our sins into Him. Then, in exchange, he poured God's goodness into us.

Christmas is a message of peace on earth and love to all mankind.

Promise?

You said you love her...
but is your heart really for her?
You said you miss her...
but are you really thinking of her?
You said you want to grow old with her...
but do you really mean it?

What's a promise if it's not kept?
What's a promise when you don't mean it at all?
What's a promise if it's just a lie?
What's a promise when you can't deliver?

Do you...?

She isn't at all feeling well...
do you know?
Her whole body aches...
do you know?
She is so weak, she couldn't get up...
do you know?
She has fever that burns her head...
do you know?
She waits for you the entire day
to take her to the doc...
do you know?
She waits for your return for a comfort hug...
do you know?
She waits for your warm voice to tell her she'll be all right...
do you know?

A li'l thought...

Look upon your partner's need
Love demands the loving deed
Let your love be love that's true
Prove it by the deeds you do

Christmas

During the Christmas season,
remember that presents keep
relationships warm.
Christmas comes but
once a year;
it always reminds us
Christ's second coming is
VERY NEAR.

You - to me...

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you

I love You, Lord

I'm yielding in Your love, Lord
that taught me to love...
Not only to love those around me
whom I care...
but also to love my enemies
and to bless them.
At these quiet times,
I reflect the peace and joy
and it lights the fire in my spirit
to sing Your psalms and
give You praise and worship You.
Lord, I thank You for the Cross.
Thank You, Lord Jesus for bearing the crucifixion...
for my sins, sicknesses, shame and unrighteousness
that now, I can lift up my head
and say,
Thank You Lord!

...

As long as I have breath
I’ll find a way to say that I love YOU
Everything may change
And the world may pass away
I’ll still love YOU

Turning Heads...

Yep! That’s the reason girls dress up and make up.
It’s the sheer pleasure that
when you walk pass the schools of men,
their eyes follow you.
And as you walk further,
their heads turn!
You are irresistible!
One of the few days she lunch out, so she went today…
She has turned heads!
Mission accomplished!

LOVE is all we need...

What does LOVE mean? A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?"

The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined.

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and
paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all
the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."
- Rebecca, age 8

When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."
- Billy, age 4

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving
cologne and they go out and smell each other."
- Karl, age 5

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your
French fries without making them give you any of theirs."
- Chrissy, age 6

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
- Terri, age 4

"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a
sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."
- Danny, age 7

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of
kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy
and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss."
- Emily, age 8

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop
opening presents and listen."
- Bobby, age 7

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a
friend whom you hate."
- Nikka, age 6

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it
everyday."
- Noelle, age 7

"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still
friends even after they know each other so well."
- Tommy, age 6

"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I
looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and
smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore."
- Cindy, age 8

"My mommy loves me more than anybody . You don't see anyone else
kissing me to sleep at night."
- Clare, age 6

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken."
- Elaine, age 5

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he
is handsomer than Robert Redford."
- Chris, age 7

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him
alone all day."
- Mary Ann, age 4

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old
clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."
- Lauren, age 4

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little
stars come out of you."
- Karen, age 7

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think
it's gross.
- Mark, age 6

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if
you mean it, you should say it a lot.
People forget."
- Jessica, age 8

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked
about a contest he was asked to judge.
The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbour was
an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing
the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard,climbed onto his lap, and just sat here. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."

When there is nothing left but love, that is when you find out that
love is all you need.

10 things God will never ask...

1. God won't ask what kind of car you drove; He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation.

2. God won't ask the square footage of your house; He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.

3. God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet; He'll ask how many you helped to clothe.

4. God won't ask what your highest salary was; He'll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.

5. God won't ask what your job title was; He'll ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability.

6. God won't ask how many friends you had; He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.

7. God won't ask in what neighbourhood you lived; He'll ask how you treated your neighbours.

8. God won't ask about the colour of your skin; He'll ask about the content of your character.

9. God won't ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation; He'll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven, and not to the gates of Hell.

10. God won't ask how many people you forwarded this to; He'll ask if you were ashamed to pass it on to your friends.

Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust God. Every moment, thank God!

Corpse's Bride?

Wanted to hold you...
-why didn't you let me?
Wanted your touch...
-why didn't you feel me?
Wanted to taste your lips...
-why didn't you ask?
Wanted to hang on a little longer...
-why did you slip by?
Wanted to hear those words...
-why didn't you say it?
Wanted you to stay...
-why did you leave?
Want all of you...
-why it's just partial?

It's FRIDAY!!!

yea, Friday is HERE!
I just wonder why time flies by so fast...
Another week gone...
Can't wait for the next week.
But tomorrow will come...
and tomorrow will have more worries.
So, let's enjoy the day today...
Let me reflect my ways
this past weeks and
remember how God has complete
my victories and satisfaction.

A toss to Honey for the great achievement...
You deserve it!
My darling, I hope we can spend
more time together...
And I miss you too!

Girl's Instinct

Yeah! Tell me bout it!
I knew I wasn't feeling well yesterday.
I started reading and understanding
was boss' orders wrongly.
And I shivered while
typing on the keyboard
I thought maybe I was hungry.
So I made a cup of coffee.
But I didn't feel better.
I started to see stars.
Getting real tired by 5pm.
I just knew something was wrong
somewhere, somehow.
But didn't know what exactly
it was...
My question was answered
late last nite...

Hmmm....
You are 2 weeks early!

The Irony of Life...

How Can I Tell Her (Him)
- just heard this song... and it sparks me... life is ironic!

She (He) knows when I'm lonesome, she (he) cries when I'm sad
She (He) is up in the good times, she (he) is down in the bad
And whenever I'm discouraged, she (he) knows just what to do
But girl (boy), she (he) doesn't know about you
I can tell her (him) troubles, she (he) makes them all seem right
I can make up excuses, not to hold her (him) at night
We can talk of tomorrow, I'll tell her (him) things I want to do
But girl (boy), how can I tell her (him) about you?
How can I tell her (him) about you?
Girl (Boy), please tell me what to do
Everything seems right, whenever I'm with you
So girl (boy), won't you tell me, how to tell her (him) about you
How can I tell her (him) I don't miss her (him), whenever I'm away?
How can I say it's you I think of, every single night and day?
And when is it easy, telling someone we're through?
Ah girl (boy), help me tell her (him) about you
How can I tell her (him) about you?
Girl (Boy), please tell me what to do
Everything seems right, whenever I'm with you
So girl (boy), won't you tell me, how to tell her (him) about you

A Story of Possession...

You enter a boutique (where there’s only 1 piece of each item). As you walk pass the cashier, you see a piece at the counter and you like it so much you wanted to buy it. However, someone is already paying for that piece.
Isn’t it irony, sometimes, you just can’t have the things you want.


If you dare…
You see the buyer with that item you fell in love with. You approach the buyer; ask if she is willing to give it up for you.
Maybe you need to bargain or coax her a little while. Then, she agrees to let you have the item, seeing you like it so much. And you get your item and the buyer gets the money and search for another piece.


Alternatively...
The buyer pays for the piece and turn around, ready to leave. Suddenly, her eyes caught something attractive at a corner. She walks over to have a look at the item. A thought strikes her.
“Why didn’t I notice this piece earlier?”
She likes the item very much. She then checks the price.
“Oh, I don’t have enough to buy this piece.”
So, she just leave with the piece she has already paid for.


Or…
You see the buyer with that item you fell in love with. You approach the buyer; ask if she is willing to give it up for you.
And she says, ‘No.” Probably being possessive, although she likes the other piece better.
So, you look around hoping to find another item that suits you.


Another ending…

You see the buyer with that item you fell in love with. You approach the buyer; ask if she is willing to give it up for you.
As she has also fallen for another piece in the boutique, she says, “OK.” Then, both of you go home happily with your items.
You go home, try it on, wear it a few times then feel it doesn’t suit you anymore. Then, you leave it aside, probably throw it away on later days. And you are back on search for new clothes.



Yet another ending…
You see the buyer with that item you fell in love with. You approach the buyer; ask if she is willing to give it up for you.
As she has also fallen for another piece in the boutique, she says, “OK.” Then, both of you go home happily with your items.
You go home, try it on. And you can't stop showing off the item on your body. Years later, you realise you still have that item and still wearing it whenever you have the chance. You’ve found it!


Feel free to add your versions…

Have you heard of...?

By the way,
we have heard many stories of children
running away from homes or
having the intentions to run away from home.
But I was taken aback when
I heard a parent wanting to leave home!
I was surprised!
But I also realised that
every person on earth has a limit
to their level of patience and tolerance.
I just hope that a family will
always remain a family.
Pray for the best for this family...
The family can be harnessed with
the effort put in by every member.
Because only with the existence of each member
can there be a FAMILY.
I can't do much as an 'outsider of the insider',
but only to continue praying for the unity of that family.

Cherish the family you have because
there's the only family you'll have.
You will not find the same family if you lose it!

Confirmed!

Just glad for that.
Had a huge dinner last night.
Went to Matsuki for a sumptous meal.
Had a great time with Honey.
Haven't really spend much time together.
But last night, we had a great time...
The future is full of hope.
Thus far, it's just the beginning...
the best is yet to come.
Just have to work harder and
keep the passion flowing.
It's just a treat from the Lord.
The best is yet to come.
Thank you, O Father...
who Art in Heaven.
Amen!

WHY??

Why Daniel?
It's really an IDOL contest.
It's not a contest for talents, is it?
So, people...
Those of you who have been following Malaysian Idol,
in hope that the best and the most talented
will be named the next Idol...
Don't be dismayed!
It's an IDOL competition anyway...
Talented performers don't win
in competitions seeking for IDOLS.
Great performers win in actual performing contests!
Cheers to those talented singers in Malaysian Idol
who succeeded in not labelling themselves as IDOLS
Because they are not idols... they are true performers...

Gym: A Need or A Fad?

Is going to the gym a fashion trend or healthy conscious?
I’d say 50-50, but leaning more towards the fashion trend.
To get that Barbie figure, to get Angelina Jolie’s toned legs,
to get Jennifer Aniston’s toned arms… etc.
Well, I have that in mind too.
Gym is my option to stay healthy and IN SHAPE!

*wink*wink*

It’s just every girl’s dreams to turn heads,
keeping the guys (and girls)
drooling over them.
Who doesn’t want attention?
Even the guys do!
Otherwise, why’s the hard working out to get those
abs, chest, arms, legs and what not...
Going to the gym has become a fashion statement.
And here I am, joining the pool of fashion victims!
And it’s self-satisfaction… or else,
why pay so much for the membership
when you don’t achieve something in return!

*wink*

I'm coming back~~

Today, another boring day at home
with MC.
Went to the clinic again this morning,
the doctor said I'm fine.
Just need to rest.
My eyes showed
I'm fatique.
So, took more medication today...

Spent some time on the Word...
Feel refreshed!
Other than that,
have been sleeping the whole day.
And the good news is...
I'm going back to work
TOMORROW!!
yay~~

While I was lying on the bed
I thought of college days.
I miss the "no worries" season,
the breakfast we always shared
and lunch driving around
undecisive of what to eat.
Those were the days...
Now with my closest buddies all
left for their education,
I'm here in Penang to reminisce
those laughters and
on some Saturdays,
I'd go to Sunrise McD's for breakfast alone
and thought of those "high-in-coffee" mornings...

I miss you all...
Be happy because
I have you in my heart!

Saturday, September 10

down again...

Have been attacked by fever again...
Have been in pain for 2 days...
Headache and back-ache
and I thought I've forgotten these kind of pain!
But it was so bad, i barely could sleep last night.
But when I woke up,
first thing came to mind was WORK!
I just can't get enough of work...
The doctor said,
I need more rest.
Don't stress myself, then pimples will not be so bad.
And change my eating habit...

As stiffnecked as I am,
I don't rest,
and I'm blogging now...
My back is killing me, need to lie down.
Will write more when I'm feeling better...

Saturday, September 3

Am I blur or what?

Last night, left the studeo at 8:45pm.
Went to Greenlane McD’s for dinner.
After a sumptuous dinner…
Why sumptuous?
Because I didn’t eat anything the whole day.
Was just too busy with work.
And dinner was the first solid thing that went into my body =P
Anyway, after dinner...
I couldn’t find the car keys.
Thought I left it on the table.
But NO!
Scavenged my bag.
NOT there too.
In a flash, I thought…
I must have left it in the car…
Don’t remember locking the car.
So, we hurry to the car.
And there it was!
Still in its position.
I just got out of the car,
slammed the door shut
and charged for my dinner.
Maybe I was just too engrossed to eat
or I was just stressed,
too many things in mind.
But we had a brief laugh.
And he was worried about me.
And I know…
I am loved!
*wink*

It's been so long~~

Haven't blogged for so long...
I've attempted to write
but when I'm in front of the PC,
my fingers seem to type
nothing.
Now, as I start to type again,
I feel, I don't know how to blog
anymore...
But I'm a writer!
How can I lose that "writing" essence?
Anyway, I've been writing a lot at work.
Cracking my brains
for creative writing.
I never thought I'd be where I am.
But I am glad I am where I am.
Hope I'm not confusing you
as you read.
I'm a bit out of my sanity.
Have been working hard
that I fear my work will become an idol.
I need to find my way
and make my stand to let Christ lead me.
I fear I lose my spiritual sanity.
The world is full of temptations and
at times, I feel I'm yielding to
its deadly attractiveness.
Lord, do have mercy on this poor soul.
It's not by might nor by power,
but by Your Spirit!
Thank you, Lord,
for the Cross...

Happiness Is A Daily Decision by Andrew Matthews

I remember waiting for my life to get easier. I thought, “When I have less problems, then I’ll be happy!”Then I noticed something fascinating. The happiest people I knew had more problems than I did!Maybe you have noticed the same thing - that people who seem to get the most out of life have often had it tough. They have lost loved ones, they’ve gone broke, they’ve suffered major illnesses – and most likely, they still have big problems! But they are happy because at some point they decided “happy” is the only way to live.

Happiness doesn’t just happen to you, like some “accident”. It is something you choose.I was recently chatting on radio in Cleveland, Ohio, with a lady called Rena. Rena said to me, “I just got divorced, I am currently being sued, my house just burned down and now my doctors tell me that my cancer has returned for the third time.” But she said, “You know, amongst all this, I am happy!” Rena was saying, “You don’t find happiness in the absence of problems, you find it in spite of your problems!” You choose it.If you wake up saying, “I hope I have a good day, and then I'll be happy”, you never will be.

IN A NUTSHELL
You make the choice to be happy first. Happiness is a daily decision.

Is it human nature...?

I don't know whether this is true...
Majority of us (both men and women)
are like little children...
We play with toys,
Barbie dolls, teddy bears,
remote-controlled cars, planes
or anything else you name it...
Sometimes, we get bored with it after a while
and start asking for new toys...
So, the poor old toy is left in the corner
not getting any of your attention anymore.
As the new toy comes and has your full attention...
the old toy is left behind.
Now, one day, your mum's friend
brings her kids to play in your house
and it happens that they saw the old toy that's left
in one corner with no one playing it.
So, they take it and play with it.
In that instant, you see them playing with your toy,
and you got upset and being selfish,
you don't want anyone to touch it or to play with it
eventhough you don't want that toy anymore...
But rather have it left in that secluded corner
collecting dust than to have someone else play with it...

Ponder this as a life story, it can be any phases
in your lives.
As straightforward as the story,
you really demand ownership on your toys.
Or, in school, friends, work, relationships,
pets, cars, clothes...
It can be anything...

Are you letting something precious in your life slip away?
Are you being selfish?

*wink* It keeps me wondering and pondering myself...

Human touch…

I looked through the photos on The Star website and it’s really bad! The API recorded at 11 this morning recorded 44 in Penang (which is hitting near to the moderate status, be careful!) and 531 in Kuala Selangor (which is an emergency status and poses a danger to health).
We hear about people suffering in other parts of the country and it becomes our conversation. How many actually imagine themselves there at that place? How much torture it is to be there!
Yesterday, we just brought up the 9/11 incident. Just listening to their conversation gives me the creeps. I shivered as I thought of those “little” people on TV jumping off the building. What if that person is someone dear to me? What if I am that person and everyone else on earth is watching me plunge from WTC?
Have you ever thought of that? - That your last day on earth might just be the next hour or creepier, the next second. I just pray that when I breathe my last, I’m on my way to heaven. Otherwise, thinking of going the opposite way is even more fearful!
We never know what will happen next, not even the next second. You can be laughing now with your boss over a joke, the next second, you are screwed so badly you don’t even remember you have shared that laughter.
Anyway, I’m glad we are working so close in the CW (Conceptual Writing) Department. So far, we have been able to solve work-related issue diplomatically. It’s a good workplace that can make you want to grow with the company.
I’m sure I’ve found the place I want to grow with. Although I’m still thinking of getting that paper (degree!), I’m starting to think of my long-term commitment with SG.
Back to the subject – my point is, human are becoming so insensitive. They care so much about themselves and do nothing for the betterment of other people – even as near as a neighbour needing help. Some people just shut their doors despite listening violent arguments and breaking objects. Have they ever thought that someone might be killed during the heated argument? Oh, well… it might be a domestic husband-and-wife having a row. But you’ll never know what one-second-mistake can do to two human’s lives. One dead – either in heaven or hell, and the other – in jail. But then again, it’s not your problem if one is dead and the other is jailed, no harm to you right? Imagine it’s one of your family members or loved ones.
Don’t take things for granted. Your concern and care may change someone’s life for better. Never stop offering help, you don’t know how much miracles your little can do. Never stop giving advice, you don’t know how encouraging your advice can be.
Re-examine your humane self. It’s somewhere deep inside your heart. God created man in His own image. I’m sure God created us with some attributes He has – caring, gentle, gracious etc. But man are contaminated in this tainted world.
I believe there is “beauty” in every one of us. No matter how bad or notorious we can be, there is a soft side that we ought to discover.

The Island - a promise?

I watched it in GSC on Saturday. Well, it’s a nice movie, worth watching. After watching the movie, I knew I had to blog on it. Cloning living creatures is an act of acting as God! When God created Adam, He breathed into Adam the breath of life.

Genesis 2:7
“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.”


From the beginning of humankind, God was the Creator of heaven and earth. How can man take over God’s place? For example, the surgeons function to operate surgeries. Now after so many generations, the veterinarians decide they can operate human body after working with animals for decades.
You understand what I’m saying? Sometimes, it’s just about being who we are and continuing what we do. Humble ourselves and know that there are experts who have done it since the BEGINNING. We are in no position to play smart and outsmart God.
Just look at man’s creations… Automobiles have killed thousands and thousands in collision since its introduction in the 19th century. Whatever man created never lasted long and worse, some brought undesirable effects. I define man's creation as DESTRUCTION.
Every action was supported by good-natured “motives”. As years passed, we’ll start to see truth from the Book of Revelation unveil itself. It’s beyond just cloning – there’s the micro-chip implant on animals (which gradually will be implanted on man). First, there was Dolly the Sheep. Now, Koreans are cloning dogs. What lies in the future? Except man’s dreams to play God. And when we see man is putting on the shirt with a huge label of PRIDE, they will soon be clothed with a nice shirt with a huge label of FALL.

Genesis 11:4–8
4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”
5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.
6 And the LORD said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.
7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.


Humble ourselves and know that God is a gracious God. He only confused the builders. He didn’t strike them. See how merciful God is and His love for all humankind was proven when He sent His Son to the Cross for the final sacrifice.

As I’m busy pursuing my dream (at work), I miss God’s presence. I know deep in my heart God is the one who brought me through storms and floods. I felt an overwhelming need to humble myself and submit to Him who has pulled me out from drowning.

I love you, Lord!

simply JOY~~

Ask me why I happily
reach early to work
and never hesitated to
stay till late...
It's simply JOY.
I love my work,
I like the people,
I am just so into SG.

Reflecting on simple little things
that brought smiles to my face
when I was young.
How grateful was I to receive
a small candy...

Miracles of life...
Now, nothing seems satisfying anymore.
We keep wanting more.
Better mobile,
better car,
better house,
better PARTNER!!
I have come to a point to let things
grow as it wills.
I live each day doing what I love
and living a simple life.
I may not be satisfied
but I'm willing to settle
for whatever I already have.
What I already have is so much
blessing to me...

Everyday is a day full of challenges.
We don't know what will come tomorrow
so, be happy today.
And enjoy life to the fullest!
Cheers to those who have realised
what they want
in LIFE..~

A winner among the losers...

Sunday, Donald Trump told Alex in The Apprentice 3
that he was a winner all along
when he was with Magna Corp.
Now, among the losers - Angie and Chris -
Alex was dragged to the board room week after week
with Nett Worth being the losing team.
Trump said,
a winner put among losers,
will in turn become a loser.

Yesterday, Wes told the Grafix team,
which I happened to be there,
that he didn't hire a guy who has no business ethics
even though he has potentials.
Why?
Because Wes does not want that "bad" virus
to contaminate his people in SG.
I'm so happy to be a part of this family,
knowing my leader has a vision
and he shares his vision with all of us.
And I share SG's vision as a family.
I have to be in a good company
to produce quality performance.

Even in the Bible, it is written,
bad company corrupts good attitude in Proverbs 13:20.
"He who walks with the wise grows wise,
but a companion of fools suffers harm."

Choose your friends and companions wisely.
They have influence to make you better or worse.

Who am I?

Sometimes, I wonder who I will be if I were bornt in another place, another time and another day. Would I still be the self I am today? Would I still go through the same failures and succeed the way I did today? Most importantly, will I know God?!
It's a scary question, sometimes, but I'm so thankful I am who I am and I've known the Lord Jesus Christ who went to the cross for me. Even before I was known to the world, He knew me and because He loves me, He had made a priced sacrifices. Not only for me alone... but He sacrifice for the entire mankind.
Just ponder on the grace and mercy God has on mankind. Many things, we do not have to ask but we have it, as simple as, AIR, WATER or SOIL.
Thinking of God's grace and mercy makes me examine myself and my relationship with the Almighty.
I am made perfect because of Christ Jesus who lives in me. So, no matter who I become, as long as Christ is with me, I know I'll have a good life on earth.
Thank you, Lord.

Psalm 139

1 O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
3 You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.
5 You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.
7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, "Surely the darkness shall fall on me,"
Even the night shall be light about me;
12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
13 For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
19 Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God!
Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men.
20 For they speak against You wickedly;
Your enemies take Your name in vain.
21 Do I not hate them, O LORD, who hate You?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
24 And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.

David Ogilvy said...

"Any damn fools can put on a deal,
but it takes genius,
faith and
perseverance
to create a brand."

I say...
"Diferrentiation can hold
existing customers
while attempting to seize competitors' customers.
Thus, besides knowing your customers,
it is just as important that
your customers know you!"

Positioning, as defined by J. Trout...
"... how you
differentiate your products
in the minds of your prospects "

the passion...

Have you ever get to the office at
8am
when you start work at
9am?
And that's even before the office gate
is opened!
That's the passion I have for
my new found job...

Then it sparks me,
we need the fiery passion
for God.
Going to church early,
waking up early to read His Word,
and to commune with Him.
The Passion of Christ,
the Son of God who died for you and I,
who died for us, when we were
so unworthy!

Lord, forgive me!
I praise You and
give You all the glory!
Amen!

it's all about BRANDING...

As simple as I am typing this entry on a Dell desktop.
As simple as I am wearing an Executive blazer.
As simple as I write with a Stabilo pen.
As simple as I switch among HBO, Cinemax, Hallmark, Travel & Living, Discovery Channel and so on.
As simple as we don't ask, "What are you having for lunch?"
and answering, "Pizza."
Now, we ask, "Where are you having lunch?"
and answer, "Domino's Pizza."

See how we are bombarded with
so many choices of brand that makes choosing complicated.

Fatigue days

Honey had fever and
cough on Saturday.
On Monday, I began to feel
uncomfortable,
was having slight cough.
Today, I feel so much worse.
Eyes feel dry,
throat is soar,
body is aching.
It's the haze isn't it?
I feel like being choked.
I pray for the healing power
of the Almighty God
to flow through us.
Because He is the Lord
that healeth me.
Amen.

I'm going to collect
my appointment letter
from SG at 3pm.
I'm starting work
on Friday.
May the good Lord
watch me through.
Then maybe will drop by
Gurney Plaza
and shop.
If I really feel weak,
have to cancel
the idea to go
shopping, though.

brand-lah banana anda!

I was in agony,
indecisive of going to
college or work.
God has given me the answer.
Though I waited long enough
and almost enrol for the July intake.
And His timing is just right.
The money came yesterday
(on cheque)
so I can't do anything until the cheque
has been deposited into my account.
As it is not an in-house cheque,
it will take 3 working days.
I deposited the cheque
this morning and
the earliest for me
to withdraw the money
(when the cheque has been deposited)
is next Wednesday.
Just before lunch,
the call came.
"You've been offered a position
with Studeo Grafix."
It's amazing,
it took them 2 weeks
to get back to me.
At least they did.

On the other hand,
why didn't the money come earlier?
If it did, I would have registered.
But the money came last minute
and at the same time,
I got the job.
When I prayed for God's
direction,
I said if it is His will
for me to work,
I will get in to SG.
Otherwise, I know it's time
to kick on the books
AGAIN.

So, the answer is clear.
I've made my decision
to accept the job
although they have mentioned
they can't offer anything more than
RM1500.
It's not about the salary.
I want to learn from the best.
I just believe I will grow
and soar
by God's grace.

Thank you, Lord.
May Your will be done.
Amen.

Your Rising Sign

... is Aquarius


You are an interesting mix of introspective and outlandish.

Waving your freak flag high, you really do things your own way.

While you may seem distant, you care very deeply for humanity.

You just have no tolerance for fools, slackers, or dullards.

And while you're fairly misanthropic, many are drawn to you.

Innovative and clever, people look to you for new ideas and trends.

Should I? Should I not?

So, the money that I've been
worrying and thinking about
for the last few months
has arrived.
It's just as simple as
issueing a cheque
and confirm my placement
in the college.
But I don't know if I really want
to continue studying
anymore.
Suddenly, I don't have the
urge to put in my
application.
What is wrong with me?
When I didn't have the money
I grunt,
I grumble,
I complain,
I whine,
I fuss.
Now, I'm indecisive.
I don't know what to do.
Oh, Lord, help me.
What is best for me?
Please help me to decide.
Should I continue my degree??
Should I not continue?

Quiz...


The Keys to Your Heart



You are attracted to those who have a split personality - cold as ice on the outside but hot as fire in the heart.

In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.

You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.

Mr & Mrs Smith

I watched it on Sunday evening
on DVD, of course.
And it strikes me
that stale relationships can be mend.
It's the lack of intimacy
that sets the couple apart.
It's the lack of communication
that fills the i-don't-know-u-anymore gap.
It takes two to tango-
it takes two to keep
any relationship
or marriage together.

A few months ago,
honey brought back an emailed article
about a married couple
who was in the process of
getting divorce.
During the last few weeks,
the husband realised,
it wasn't that he didn't love his wife.
He still loved his wife, but
their marriage was lack of
intimacy
(not sex, mind you!)
Moments together,
sharing laughter,
comforting hugs,
sweet whispers.
Sometimes,
you don't know
how much your partner
or lover
or spouse
means to you
until you are at the verge
of losing them
or until you've lost them.
You've settled down in the comfort zone,
taking them for granted
and being arrogant,
thinking you can make it
without them.
But the fact is,
without them,
you've lost your composure
your sense of humour
your sense of completeness.
You won't realise it
until the end is near
or until the end is here.

Sometimes, as simple as
TOUCH
tells a thousand emotions.

I'm loved...

"I will alwiz love you and
you alone
coz my heart has only one place
and that's you...
You've been a part of me...
CAN'T be separated...
I miss you so much
eventhough I see you everyday.
I miss your smell...
I miss your hugz...
I just miss everything...
I love you very very much...
miss you and can't wait to see you..."

"And now faith, hope, love, these three remain;
but the greatest of these is love."
1 Corinthians 13:13

Empty promises...

Man...
you just can't trust them.
Put your hope on
MAN
and it will be crushed.
Great disappointment will befall
because man are
self-centered in nature.
They remember
how much they've given.
But forget how much
they've received.

Cast all your burden and
trust to God,

who never despises you.
God is the same
today, yesterday and forevermore.

He never breaks His promises.

I thank the Lord
for sending my honey
who has been standing by my side
giving me all the support
he can offer.
There's nothing more to
ask for.

I'm glad I have at least
ONE PERSON
who believes in me
and keeps his promises
and loves seeing
a smile across my face.

I'm blessed...

"You know that I want the best for you..." honey says.
I smile.
"Coz I want the best for you and
for you to bring the best out of yourself..." honey adds.

I'm so blessed I have someone who loves me so much
and have put up with my
unstable moods all these 4 years.
I know I ain't perfect,
but I aim for success.
I cherish this relationship and
I will make sure it is safe-guard.
And the only place I trust my relationship in,
is GOD'S palm.
Where he gently works in both of us,
to bring us closer.

Thank you, Lord,
for the glimpse of your love,
shown through
my honey.

My honey has been giving me
his utmost support
in whatever I want to do.
Lifting my head
when I am down.
Holding my hands
when I am weary.
He has been an awesome blessing.

"Thank you
for believing in me
and not giving up on me.
Most importantly,
thank you
for loving me."

Last 10 minutes of God's grace...

We have heard a lot of stories
about people coming back from death.
But do you know,
when a person stops breathing,
he has 10 minutes
before he leads the path
to either
heaven or hell.
Someone very dear to me
relates this true incident.
He said,
he stopped breathing for 3 minutes
and the nurses performed CPR
to bring him back to life.
The nurse told him
if he didn't regain consciousness
in 10 minutes,
he would have been in heaven.
WHY HEAVEN?
Because,
during the 3-minute journey
in the realm between
physical and spiritual,
he felt that his burden
was lifted up,
no worries.
He felt peace and calmness.
It was a bright wonderful place
he was heading.

Thus, in the 10 minutes before
your final destiny,
God still gives grace to us
to cry out for the salvation
of His Son.
It's either we go to heaven
or hell
or come back to life.
See the wonderful working miracle
of God!
God is just so gracious.
Even if you haven't accepted Christ
all your life.
And at the last 10 minutes,
you cry out to Jesus Christ
and believe in Him.
You are saved!

Isn't that sweet?!
Oh, thinking of God's
unlimited grace just brings tears to my eyes.
How can something so sweet and amazing
be taken for granted.
His love for His children
is indescribable.
Only those who have experienced,
will know.
I can't tell you the sweetness in sugar.
You have to taste it yourself,
to know what is sweetness
and that sugar is sweet.
So, experience God's grace
and learn how loving
and gracious He is.

We were just having dinner earlier
when he told us
his experience
and I thought,
"I'm going to blog about this -
about the astounding working
miracle of God."

When I started typing this,
I didn't thought it would turn out
THIS LONG.
But it did.
And I hope you remember it.
Praise the Lord,
I may be an instrument to touch
and inspire lives.
Hear me,
GOD LOVES YOU!
