2 Years Long…

I’m estimating to finish my ACCA in two years time. *sigh* I really wonder can this be done. I am soooo much lazier compared to uni days. Working alone took up all my strength. And I’m so broke of all the fees to be paid. Don’t get to enjoy my pay at all.

Looking on the bright side, after a year in my current company, I could ask for 50% reimbursement on my studies fees. I really don’t know and why on earth I’m doing accounts. It is a terribly boring job ever!

Oh well, will blog something more happening tomorrow! Going off to bed now! Adios!

What A Saturday!

I’m stuck in office. Alone and nothing to do. I hope the next PO to be raised will not get me to do it almost towards the end of 1pm. I WOULD KILL THEM!!!

I was so happy. TJ bought a whole box of Gelato Fruity ice-cream for me because I was unhappy over the past one week. And he is willing to accompany me to Ellen & David Sanborn’s musical at SIB tonight. YAY! Perhaps, I should get unhappy more often? LOL.. oh well, I’m looking forward for a good day! Hope that my working place won’t make me frustrated all over again and ruin my mood of the day.

(P/S: Nobody is in, in my dept. I’m rotting here. Nothing to do.)

Finding Your Life Partner – Part 2

For those who asked for part 2 of the sermon by Ps Joseph Prince on this topic, I’ve uploaded it in my Box.net widget on the bottom right hand corner. There are a total of 13 files for Part 2. Enjoy and be blessed!

Imagine Me Without You

As long as stars shine down from heaven
And the rivers run into the sea
Til the end of time forever
You’re the only love I’ll need

In my life you’re all that matters
In my eyes the only truth I see
When my hopes and dreams have shattered
You’re the one that’s there for me

When I found you I was blessed
And I will never leave you, I need you

Chorus:
Imagine me without you
I’d be lost and so confused
I wouldn’t last a day, I’d be afraid
Without you there to see me through

Imagine me without you
Lord, you know it’s just impossible
Because of you, it’s all brand new
My life is now worthwhile
I can’t imagine me without you

When you caught me I was falling
You’re love lifted me back on my feet
It was like you heard me calling
And you rush to set me free

When I found you I was blessed
And I will never leave you, I need you

Chorus

When I found you I was blessed
And I will never leave you, I need you oh

Chorus

I can’t imagine me without you

Teluk Gong Seafood

I went for SIB service last evening and joined a few of Vincent’s cellmates for dinner at Teluk Gong. Seriously, I don’t know about this place at all. Fay says they have nice seafood there. YUMMY! I LOVE SEAFOOD!

I was terribly starving after church service and we reached the place at almost 9pm. We were waiting for another car to arrive before we can start having the dishes on our table. It took them about another 30-40 minutes to reach. Me, Fay, Wai Yi and Vincent filled our hungry tummy with  peanuts and fish keropok. When they have arrived, most of the dishes are served on our table. YUMMY YUMMY!!

Kam Heong Bamboo Lala

Deep fried squids

Nestum Prawns (two thumbs up for this)

Clam Meehoon

Sweet and sour crab – the one which makes us “hammering” them all over :)

Prawn Mantis in Spicy Soy Sauce

Deep fried Mantou

Assam fish

We were there because of:

The birthday boy – Kenny!

It is a great experience and I do hope I could visit there again! And thank you Vincent or Wai Yi for the treat (they didn’t want to take my share for the dinner). Thanks for the blessing!

My upcoming events –  WORK, WORK, WORK & STUDY!

There is one :) My company trip to Singapore/Batam to visit one of the barge ship. I’m gonna make a passport this Thurs. It is my first time going out from Malaysia. Kinda feeling excited :)

Superfertation

Superfertation-this means a woman concieved babies weeks or some time later apart, and they were born at the same time.

Weirdly, but true. I was looking at this news on Yahoo! Go here and look for the video title ‘Expecting two, but not twins.’ It is a rare case. And I find it interesting.

Life Is An Adventure

What is life to each of us? To some, it may be just a stop before going to heaven. To others, it may be the process of growing up, earning a bulk, get a house, a car, a wife/husband, have kids, grow old, then die. I think all these sound a lil boring.

I think life is an adventure. No doubt, the adventure seems to be lesser when you are working, but it is up to ourselves to bring the adventure back. Even we face any difficulties, hoping to come to a detour or an exit road, where we can head next, make full use of the problem that you are facing. I came across people who are so overprotected back at home, they missed the real adventure outside (FYI, I do not refer you to leave any of your kids or whosoever outside, letting them survive on their own). A balance of both is important. Some are so afraid of leaving home, venturing to a new place because of fear, or perhaps missing the comfort zone they are in.

Remember, no matter where you are, God is always there. Furthermore, having to telling yourself that some things that it may be only the one life time opportunity will help you overcome your fear. Some things will not come for a second chance. Parts and parcels in life are meant to make us stronger in character and faith.

GO AND GET YOUR ADVENTURE! AND LEAVE YOUR FEAR BEHIND!

UP

Carl Fredricksen, a shy and quiet young boy, meets an energetic and outgoing bucktoothed barefooted tomboy named Ellie, discovering they share the same interest in exploration as their hero, famed explorer Charles F. Muntz. Ellie expresses her desire to move her clubhouse to Paradise Falls in South America, a promise she makes Carl keep. Carl and Ellie wed and grow old together in the old house where they first met while making a living as a toy balloon vendor and a zookeeper respectively. Unable to have children, they also try to save up for the trip to Paradise Falls but other financial obligations arise. Just as they seem to finally be able to take their trip, Ellie dies of old age, leaving Carl living alone in their home as a sour recluse with nothing to live for and missing his wife terribly. As the years pass, the city grows around Carl’s house with construction as Carl refuses to move. After a tussle with a construction worker over Carl’s broken mailbox, the court orders Carl to move into Shady Oaks Retirement Home. Carl comes up with a scheme to keep his promise to Ellie, and uses his old professional supplies to create a makeshift airship using tens of thousands of helium balloons which lift his house off its foundations. Russell, a Wilderness Explorertrying to earn his final merit badge for “Assisting the Elderly”, has stowed away on the porch after being sent on a literal snipe hunt by Carl the day before.

After a storm throws them around for a while, they find themselves across a large ravine facing Paradise Falls. With their body weight providing ballast allowing Carl and Russell to pull the floating house, the two begin to walk around the ravine, hoping to reach the falls while there’s still enough helium in the balloons to keep the house afloat. As they walk towards Paradise Falls, Russell finds a colorful tropical bird which he names Kevin, not realizing that the bird is actually female. They later run into a dog named Dug with a translating collar that lets him speak. They discover Dug’s owner is Charles Muntz, who has remained in South America for several decades to find and bring back a large species of bird (which turns out to be Kevin) in order to restore his reputation after bringing back a skeleton of the bird and being called a fraud because scientists thought he faked the evidence. Carl is initially thrilled to meet his hero, but when he realizes that Muntz is after Kevin and will kill without a moment’s thought in order to capture her alive, Carl takes steps to save the bird and escape from Muntz. Thanks to Kevin and Dug they escape Muntz’s pack of vicious dogs, led by Alpha, but Kevin is injured during the escape.

As Carl and Russell assist the injured Kevin to her chicks, Muntz and his dogs arrive in his airship, led by a tracking device in Dug’s collar, and sets Carl’s house on fire, forcing Carl to choose his house over Kevin. Muntz and his dogs quickly capture the bird and fly off. Though Carl successfully gets the house on the ground overlooking Paradise Falls per Ellie’s wish, he has lost Russell’s favor. Carl, settling down in his house, finds Ellie’s childhood scrapbook and discovers her mementos of her life with Carl after they were married, and a final note from her thanking Carl for her adventure and an encouragement for him to go on his own. Invigorated by Ellie’s last wish, he goes outside to see Russell, only to find him giving chase to Muntz. Carl lightens the weight of his house by dumping furniture and his possessions, allowing him to chase after Muntz in his house with Dug by his side.

Russell enters the airship through a window, but is captured by the dogs. He is tied up and left to fall to the earth, but Carl saves him and keeps him tied up in the house. Carl and Dug board the ship, and are able to lure the guard dogs away from Kevin to free her. Carl and Muntz duel face to face and fight (Muntz with a sword, Carl with his cane), while Dug is able to wrest control of the dogs and the dirigible from Alpha. Russell frees himself but clings to a lifeline as he finds the house in a dogfight with biplane fighters. When Carl shouts for help, Russell distracts the dog pilots and regains control of the house to rescue his friends, who are now on top of the airship. In pursuit, Muntz shoots out some of the balloons, causing the house to land and slide off the airship. Carl manages to trick Muntz inside the house while saving Russell, Dug, and Kevin; Muntz falls to his doom, while Carl’s house drifts off into the clouds — a loss Carl gracefully accepts as being for the best.

Carl takes Muntz’s dirigible and returns Kevin to her chicks, and then returns Russell and Dug back to the city. When Russell’s father snubs his son’s Senior Explorer ceremony, Carl fulfills that role himself to proudly present Russell with his final badge, the grape soda badge that Ellie presented to Carl when they first met. Afterward, Carl, reinvigorated in both spirit and body from his adventure, becomes a cheerfully active community volunteer with a strong father like relationship with Russell, Dug, and the other Wilderness Explorers. His house, through happenstance, has landed exactly where Ellie envisioned it — overlooking Paradise Falls.

This is one of the most heart-warming and melting movie! It is sooo touching. True love is shown in this movie – husband & wife, friendship with human kind and animals. It is so much worth movie compared to G-Force that I went to yesterday. Oh well, those hamsters/guinea pigs do look cute anyhow :)

I’m heading for the Ugly Truth later. What a Raya movie-marathon I am having! *gosh* I need to study tomorrow.

WORK is KILLING!

I haven’t been updating my blog for quite awhile. Well, at least it wasn’t that often as I did previously. Work has taken my life away. Not to mention, my CPU had been out for order for a week. So definitely, I couldn’t access to the Internet.

Work is crazy! Especially yesterday. I almost did a double payment in USD. *oopps* Other than that, things are going well. At least, I don’t hate the place I’m working despite me disliking my job. Accounts is so boring. Anyhow, I still enjoy my workplace. That is the most important thing for the time being.

Gonna enjoy my loooong Hari Raya weekend! :)

25 Affirmations About Forgiveness

25 Affirmations about Forgiveness

Dr. Ray Pritchard

Author, Speaker, President of Keep Believing Ministries
A friend who has gone through a hard time sent me a list of things he has learned about forgiveness. Most of what follows comes from my friend, but I have rephrased a few things and added a few items of my own. This is obviously not a comprehensive statement about forgiveness—just a place to begin. What would you add to this list?

1. If you wait to forgive until you feel like forgiving, you will never forgive.
2. Without God’s grace, we will never forgive.
3. Forgiveness is necessary but it isn’t easy.
4. Forgiveness is first of all between us and God.
5. God does not intend that all of life should be pleasant.
6. Nothing gets rid of pride like adversity.
7. Nobody understands the art of revenge like the Lord.
8. There is coming a day when every dispute will be resolved. When you understand this, you are freed from feeling like you have to personally solve every issue here on this earth.
9. Good theology is imperative. What you think about God determines how you respond in the hard times.
10. God is good. If you don’t believe that, it will be next to impossible to forgive others.
11. God is sovereign. There are no mistakes in God’s economy, and no detail, no matter how small, goes unnoticed by Him.
12. God’s grace is always sufficient.
13. There is an old saying: ”Time heals all.” That isn’t always true.
14. Forgiving and forgetting are not the same thing.
15. Nothing makes a person more aware of other people’s feelings than a broken heart.
16. When you have been wronged, there is nothing worse than feeling like you have been abandoned.
17. Forgiveness is a gift I give to someone who doesn’t deserve it. If they deserved forgiveness, they wouldn’t need it.
18. True forgiveness costs a great deal, but unforgiveness costs much more.
19. Bitterness poisons everything.
20. I don’t see myself the way I really am.
21. I am more like my enemies than I like to admit.
22. If I have trouble loving my enemies, I should remember that I am someone else’s enemy.
23. God uses our enemies to make us more like Jesus.
24. You are never more like Jesus than when you forgive.
25. We never come to the end of needing forgiveness or needing to forgive.
