Holidays Mood... Blessed day

31th October 2005,

It's Monday afternoon. Tomorrow will be holidays- Deepavalli, then another 2 days Raya. But I still work- Mon and wednesday working, wheras others has been enjoying their holidays back hometown. Today slow, maybe coz today still holidays mood, so I don't really work well. Had lunch with Dr. Lee and Jia-Shean just now. It's good to catch up, and always good to be around those people highly motivated and systematic. Dr. Lee has always been my role model in work, even so with Jia-Shean. They potrayed a good steward and leadership in managing people and skills in management and organisation. Am just sharing with them about the difficulty in getting support from Management and consultants on the new services. Yeah, realise that it's all require a lot of effort to convince the management and sharing with them on the profit and advantages. Convicing them...to convince. That's something I need to learn, to let them know the importance, to share with them my passion and to let others see the purpose. That's a part of Management and leadership. Need to motivate self to go on, again to be positive, whatever happen..knowing that I'm still serving the God of the heaven and earth, and not of serving man alone. To please people, or to please God. Learning, but sometimes need to be wise. To be wise as serpent and innocent as dove. When is it I need to be wise, when is it I need to be innocent. A tough lesson to learn. I believe all those working will go through that. Just need to find passion in work, because that will be the only thing that draw us going, push us forward...go on, extra steps, going forward, even in the midst of falling, fall forward ad not backward.

Went to Ipoh on Fri- Kenneth's wedding. It's wonderful, can see so many joy surrounds the couples- joys that is reap after all the trials and challenges. Yeah, relationship, another chapter to go through in life. In every chapter and season of life- it's something God wants us to learn and to go on, a journey with God. During the wedding ceremony, they sing songs- Power of Your love and Come to the Father. It just stuck me each time tis 2 songs played in church. I remember vividly when both of us (Celina and me) sing this song in our daday's funeral. And now it's sang in wedding...it just reflect of the love of the Father- just being who you are, don't need to do much, just being who you are, and He still loves you. In times if joy, in times of laughter, God is enjoying all the moment with us. Praise God I didn't cry in the wedding. Each time the 2nd song sang...tears will be rolling down my cheeck, and heart will be aching- missing dad and feel so sad...yet this time of wedding, it's different feeling. I guess it's more of the positive note, and assurance of the journey with God. The journey to Ipoh has been a blessing, I manage to know Adeline and Andrew better with the sharings in the car, and sense the love and hospitality in Andrew's house. Then able to meet up Ms Chua and get to go around the Pharmacy and Famitah Hospital. People that is matter. Meet up with the ex-CA rian, seeing so many of them with family, childrens and married couples, tho' it's a bit different, with them- family and myself still single, yet can see that family and joyous face, remind me of CA-time. Meet up with Gavin, spend almost 2 hours in the Jusco Coffee-Bean, talking in the noisy environment...gee, it's very much refreshing, meeting up with friends that experience the love of God- encourage me to go on the journey wth God. After wedding, drive bck Penang with Ching-Shian. Enjoy the journey and chats with her through-out the journey. Well-spent time this holidays. Looking forward for the coming "Lifa-Games" camp organised by PCC. Yeah...hmmm..Holidays mood, waiting to go back. Bless this day, my Lord!

Human-human Relationship

15th October 2005,

Saturday afternoon- it's 2.30pm, should be going back by now but still working. Browsing thru' Pharmacy site for some general reading. Quite quiet. 2 staff working, lesser patinets, and hospital renovation is in-progress...can hear the knocking of walls.

Thanksgiving. As the subject on relationship. Relationship quarter has not been materialized last quarter. I don't meet up much of the members and frens as this time. Learning to treasure relationship. Knowing the importance of people in life. Without friends, life will not be tht interesting- iron sharpen iron- as learned in the Bible Study.

Today- thanksgiving items is for friends around me. Thank God for the circle of frens that I know of- from USM-CF to EPCC-ian, to GH-frens. Without them, I will not able to learn and go through such season of life. Has not been contacting Bee Leng for long. Tonite will be meeting up time. hope to have a good fellowship. Learn to be more openned in friendship, yet also not to try to imitate others, being yourself- yet gently accept the corrective words from friends. See thru' positive line...trying to be better. Learning to change not by own flesh...die to flesh, transformation of mind, renewing of mind. In the weakness, He replaced with strength. Stregth from above.... Thanks God for not letting me go astray beyond help. Some effort need to be made for change. Yes, indeed....

Positive- Thanksgiving each day...

14th October 2005,

Friday. We don't have Cell today. Tonite is Pastor Conference. Am in the hospital, waiting for time to pass, 7.30pm will meet the rest at Newlane for dinner, then will proceed for coffee time at Sega Fredo. Am not an outing and supper person. Today actually very tired, whole day already- tomorrow need to work, but well...since has been the one arranging, can't pull out last minute.

Today's blog about positivity. Last night had a chat with Celina, she mentioned on seeing things in positive way, stop complaining. I guess I have been this, keep on grumbling, never give thanks, always negative, that provide room for the devils to play a fool in the mind. Wher's the role of the Spirit? To be filled with Spirit?

I want to give thanks. So starting today, I want to use the blog to give thanks, one things each day to give thanks and praise to God on my life. Thanks God for my 2 pharmacists. Thanks God for providing this 2 helpers. Pray for God to bless them and work in the Department..., for them to learned and be blessed in this wrking environment.

Imagination and Negative Lies...

13th October 2005,

Thursday. October, so fast, almost year end. It's time to evaluate the year progress. Yr 2005 has been a year of testing. A year that my faith was challenged in many areas. The year where I'm facing a lot of discouragement and wondering of what life is all about. A year of exposition of the worldy challenge and pursued- a year of compromise, a year where I'm the furthest from God, a year of distance, and sighing of what's happening. A year full of emotional toils and sinful flesh-ruling. A year of offensive-ness, a rough year...lost focus.

God is the Seeker, He seek me out of the soils, out of the darkness, out of all the discouragements, He seeks, His Spirit calling me back. It's all depends, of the heart-issue. Things that has been identified to be up-rooted, challenge to make things right.

The Word of God continued to knock at the door of my heart. I know this is right, yet..it's so hard to take hold of it. Do not put down the shield of faith and let Satan take over. Stand up, position yourself in the position He placed you, to be the sons and daughter of God, the heirs of the Mighty One. Stand up, do not wander, do not let your mind linger around. There's not 'Grace' for imagination. Guard your heart and your thought with care. Whatever beautiful, whatever noble, whatever praiseworthy..think about such things. Trust Him, hold on dear to Him, step into the relationship with Him, Relationship of closeness where you can just called Him Abba-Father. Come on!

Going Home...after such long time

1st Oct 2005,

Saturday Morning. Reached hospital early. This time we need to punch in our attendance, can afford to be late, even for the HOD. We're using FingerPrint tagging, just starting today, heard a lot complaints from the staff on the eficiency and the position of the tagging. Pretty normal- any new implementation will normally receive bad response.

Today going back AS....after such long time. Mum has been alone in AS for a week. I guess I tend to work late when mum not around, and after work directly have dinner outside with frens. Comparing of staying home with mum, I think mum's absence contribute to my buzyness of life. Or else, if she's around, everything will be prepared on the table- dinner. No need to think of what to eat etc.

Last nite had buffet dinner with Cell members at Equatorial Coffee Garden. Relationship Quarter, to review what we learned? Honostly speaking, I didn't really learn anything. This doesn't mean Relationship Quarter not successful, probably my life schedule has not enable me to benefitted from it. My travelling schedule and also my confinement to home not enabling me to expose, and explore the relationship. Geee...how far I've lag-away. Next quarter will be on Mission. Eric brief us on the coming quarter, what we anticipate. Cheah Keat said it's too much activities, too activities-orientated. True in a sense, church filled up with many activities and program, but without activities and program to expand out from the inner circle of church will defit the purpose of church existance. Need balancing, God's church, His people, He will lead. No worries...
