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.
