2006年1月27日 下午12點56分18秒The night before CNY's eve!!!
Today had been a very looooog day.. Working hour although had been extended to 2 hours extra. I make myself working two hours more *hint* *hint* Got extra OT pay though, not purposely but then I got work to do.. That's why I choose to work two hours long. But then instead of using that two hours extra to work, I tend to chat more with my colleagues.
Anyway as I had just said, life today had been very slow. Slow in the sense that I got more freedom to do whatever thingy I want and that would be after 7pm, after my supervisor, my boss and also the big boss went back for their CNY celebrations. Joram called and I thought that I would be having chances of lepakking at mamak with him cause I'm going back tomorrow. When the day you are working is a last day and you planned to go back hometown the next day instead of today, you tend to wanna enjoy life 1st before going back just to relieve yourself of all tiredness (btw I have not fully pack my luggage yet), going places like mamak and lepakking for a whule. But then what to do. The chance never came, or perhaps it shall came later when I reaches home. But for now, just to say whatever I say here right now is while I'm in the office. =) Who knows later my life change and the chance came. Anyway called Mun Yee ask her whether she is free and wanna go yumcha but then too bad she can't go out so late. Thought of asking Anna too sinc she is local but then Anna, I believe she is cellgroup. =( Called Linda as well, just to wish her Happy holiday and Happy CNY although she is not a Chinese. But then quite nice lah talking to her.. Long time never see her oredi.. Kinda missing her lah.. =( Wonder how is she right now.. Hope that she is alright over there in her house.. But then thank God she got her aunt to stay with for this CNY.. Otherwise what would she be eating.. Don't wanna her to get starve though.. =*(
Anyway what to do.. Now whatever thing I blog here is all the past thing that I had done today. So whatever come later, whether going for yumcha or staying at home, I wish myself 1st all the best cause there is no way I planned to stay at home to sleep. Or maybe I shall be doing it later. Anyway whatever lah.. May God bless this lonely guy here for the night before CNY eve. =(
Okay lah.. Got to go now. Company is going to close soon.. Till I meet my blog again, adios... =) Shall be missing you, my blog.. The same goes to my readers (If there is any lah) hahahahah........
2006年1月27日 上午6點03分12秒CNY's Happenings!!
Well, well, well... Chinese New Year is around the corner.. In fact it is gonna be in two more days.. Still am working today.. But tomorrow which is CNY eve, I would pack all my things and rush back home to celebrate CNY and would be just in time for CNY eve reunion dinner together with my families.
Well there would be a lot of ppl in my home by today (I believe).. The normal quiet ppl who stays in the house (my parent, of course) would suddenly be filled with ppl, full of laughter and noise. Both my aunties (my mom's 5th and the youngest sis) together with their families would be back together with my brother who is based in Singapore. Anyway last year during the CNY eve, we had a steamboat as our dinner. Wonder what type of dinner we would have this year? As for me, I still prefer the old traditional type of dinner, and that is, rice and dishes. The same way we all eat daily. My all-time CNY fav dishes are steam chicken and all salty duck. Yum.. Yum.. Very tasty.. hahahhaha.... I know Hookien ppl do not like such dish as salty duck but we, the Cantonese loves it to the max. Then I like Bak Kua as well.. =) Guess you know what Bak Kua is right?
Anyway tomorrow would be one heavy day for me. This is because I would be boarding bus from Jalan Duta's Hockey Stadium and not the usual Pudu Raya. Well it had been like this all these year when all the major big festive seasan such as Raya and CNY. =( The rest festive season are not as terrible as these two. All the buses going towards north of Selangor would be boarding from Jalan Duta. How sad.. =( Very troublesome to do so cause there is no direct public buses to go there.. But then thank God that RapidKL formerly known as Intrakota provides the service. So anybody going back to North region tomorrow by express bus, please go to the Pudu Raya counter where you bought your tickect earlier and please make yourself double confirmed before you actually heading to Jalan Duta. I'm telling you this based on my 9 years of experiences and hopefully they won't changed the bus path this year though. Anyway all the best then.. =)
Wanna thank God too that despite all the hoohaa thingy about CNY, I would be having a week long time break, starting from tonight after my work. I'm officially off-duty the moment the clock strikes 8pm tonight. Imagine I would be having a week of free food supply back in Ipoh. How come? You may ask. Come on lah.. Stay in Ipoh, how much did I need to spent? I'm eating my mom's cooking. Imagine that amount of money saved during the CNY break and I shall get lotsa food to eat and to gain weight. Who don't want that? Perhaps I shall be able too to keep in touch with my long long lost friends. Who knows. =)
Anyway we shall see what's gonna be special about this year's CNY. And hopefully my this year's CNY would be a real special ocassion for me compared to years before. With this, I signed out with my wishes:
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR & GONG XI FA CAI!!!!!!!!
Ps: Where's my angapus? hahahahahah....................... =)
2006年1月23日 上午5點10分48秒The blessed colt (If only colt could talk!!)
Was reading an article from this Methodist church magazine, written by a lady called Elizabeth Stephens that attract me to give myself more to Jesus. Well here is what the whole article says. I typed it all down from the mag and now it's lunch time. So hope you all will enjoy reading this article rather than you all found it boring cause I'm taking my lunch time off just to encourage you all.. =)
Title: The blessed colt (If only colts could talk)
I was surprised to see two men coming to untie me. They said something to my owner, and used a beautiful red rope to tie around my neck, and led me with them. I saw my owner following behind us. They took me to a place along the road, and draped on me a piece of rich colourful linen, fit for a king. Then they placed a saddle on me.
It was then that I realised that some great person was going to sit on me. I only wished that his weight would not be so heavy. You see, no one had ever sat on me before!!
Wonderful things were happening around me. Ppl were gathering and throwing their cloaks on the ground, as if forming a carpet for someone to walk. And then I saw Him!! That someone was so simply dressed - and his sandals were so old and worn!!
But a greater surprise was yet to come! As He sat on me, I didn't feel his weight at all. In fact, I had to turn my head to make sure He had oredi mounted!!
As we moved forward, I saw happy faces all around me, singing and shouting some words I did not know - something that sounded like 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.' Children were running around, waving palm branches and singing three notes words like 'Ho-sa-nah'.
I was happy too, and there was a satisfied smile on the face of my rider as He alighted. The crowd followed Him. Too soon, this short journey had ended, and I was not to see Him anymore.
But what a wonderful experience I've had!! Suddenly I felt a new surge of energy - I could go on walking for miles and miles!! Gone was the drudgery that was in me before I saw this great Person. I didn't feel like a colt anymore. BUT, I realise now that I will always remain a colt. I was used simply because I was a colt, and that was, up to then, unused!!
My owner came to me and I noticed that he had a peaceful look and an unusual smile on his face. He patted me on my back, as if to say, "Well, done, my good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of the Lord." Then he walked me back, the red rope still around my neck. Yes, I've had a great day!!
Well that was one marvellous story that I had ever heard bout the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. The significant about this story is that He not only used the human, He also used animal to glorify His name. I was thinking, if God were to use animals who were created and with no significance and no brain, won't He used us the humankind, the sons of Adam and Eve (which was adapted in the movie of Narnia) and who rules over the animal and who were created in God's very own image, received God's very own breath and who communicate with God throughout our life to serve Him?
Imagine what did the colt do? Well it just giving Jesus a small ride and serve Him (although it is just an animal) and its name is mentioned in the Bible till now and everybody was talking bout its glory oredi. I do not mean to say the colt got glory but I believed that Jesus' glory is shared even to the animal. How much more us if we were to serve Him and seek His will? I don't care whether the role is small or big but then the fact is God would even bless us if we ever just start giving our very own heart to Him. The Bible is also clearly stating that if you are responsible even in small, small responsible in life, He will bless us with even a bigger role in life. In fact Jesus Himself said this: When the time comes, we shall do marvellous and wonderful things for God, even bigger role than Jesus if we just willing to open our very own heart to Him. That's all. Open our heart to Him to be allowed to be used by Him.
So let us learn to allow ourselves to be used by God, just like how the colt allow itself to be used by God and eventually experience the glorious life of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, amen?? Does the story above burnt your hunger of wanting to serve God even more? Well it's up to you to decide!! God bless.... =)
2006年1月17日 上午5點29分40秒New Worries!!! New Worries!!!
New worries!!! Well sorry to say, my life is full of troubles and full of worries as well. =( Anyway this worries is concerning my studies. Well I'm currently studying for my CIMA. Paid my course fees oredi and this includes my registration fees as well.. But the problem is...
Let me start by telling you this story.. I was a student in Help Institute before I finished the remaining whole subjects of Diploma in Accounting (DIA) in Systematic College, SS2. Anyway I was exempted over 20 papers in Systematic College due to because I was studying ABE (Association of Business Executive), a professional business studies - diploma level back in Ipoh. Btw there are a total of 30 papers in Systematic's Diploma in Accounting and that includes Malaysian Studies and Moral Studies. Anyway the original plan CIMA have with Systematic College is this: If a student managed to finish the whole course of DIA in Systematic, they would be exempted 11 papers of 15 papers of CIMA and do the final 4 papers of CIMA with no hassle. But my problem is this. I exempted over 20 papers of CIMA and now only does bout 6 to 10 papers of CIMA, so am I eligible to get the exemptions as well? The previous CIMA course coordinator (who had the experience of handling CIMA students) says it's hard but possible. The same things said by the deputy principle as well. But both the current CIMA course coordinator & the Systematic principle says no problem. I'm not sure whether the current course coordinator got experience in handling this ocassion or not but then I don't wanna comment anything. I just wish and hope that I can get the whole exemptions just like the normal DIA student in Systematic. Some ppl said that exemption over exemptions are not allowed. If I were not allowed, then I need to study in Systematic KL where they offered the CIMA management stage which were not taught in Systematic SS2 due to because they offered DIA course oredi which is the same level as CIMA management stage. Imagine after my work, I need to travel to KL to go for classes. What a hectic life though.. By the time, I reached home I would be very exhausted oredi. I don't want that to happen to my life though. Anyway I had paid my 1st month tuisyen fees oredi. Now I want to pay for my registration fees for CIMA as well. Went to ask the course coordinator and he told me that he wants me to pay for the annual subscriptions fees as well and it costs me 130 pounds for both payment. I thought I can pay for my registration fee 1st which is 50 pounds which is more reasonable and the balance I thought of paying them later but then I was told I can't. Now I'm not sure what to do oredi. Prayed everyday to God and hopefully God would answer me with good news though. Need lotsa faith in handling these occassion though.. Furthermore just called my mom for an extra of RM500 for the subscription fee and wonder can she afford to do it or not? I don't want her to continue begging for money here and there from all the relatives and friends. Felt very sad and guilty over it.
O' Lord, have mercy over my family especially my mom who had sacrificed a lot for the family. Without Your blessing over her, don't know what would had happened to our family.. Touch her and bless her abundantly especially in wealth that this Ou family can survive to the max.... =(
Anyway I'm in dilemma now. Don't know what to do. Should I pursue my studies or should I quit the course for now? If I were to quit it now, then the possibility is that I won't want to study anymore but my family would have enough money. But if I don't, then they will have look for the money here and there and it is hard for me to see them does that. =( I don't want them to still working just to pay for my tuisyen fees. But I want them to live happily while they still can and are strong enough. God bless them. O Lord, have mercy on our family.. You have blessed us abundantly in all things except money. I mean you did bless us with wealth but then it is just enough for daily live and not extraordinary things like studies. I do not ask for more but just extra blessings over the family on finance cause me too, want to become a successful person and as much as Ou family had been looked down way too much oredi, we also want to rise up and becoming someone special so that we can become your vessel and be used by You. Help us, O Lord.
Ppl, especially CFers this is my prayer request for you all. Please pray that God will lift up our burden in our finance life so that I can continue back my studies. As you have read the blog, I assume you all know what to do oredi. Thanks for your prayer, KDU CF and God bless.. Will tell you all more bout the testimonies when God answers the prayer request. Thanks.. =)
2006年1月15日 上午10點27分12秒Sunday's Pathtic Day!!!
Today I have had a new attack. A diarrhea attack again!!!! Help me!!
Give me some help anyone? Do any of you got any remedy? Well last night
and today I have had a terrible attack from my stomach.. Don't know
what to do with it.. All those toxic in my stomach is finally coming
out liao.. But then too bad it had to come out all at the same time..
Making my stomach and my whole body aches only. Whole night last night
I had to endure.. So even ppl like Mun Yee and Aaron called me last
night for yumcha and makan, I had to say 'No'. What can I do? Wanted to
eat Chinese medicine, Bo Chai Yun but then can't found any today due to
because all the Chinese shop here in Damansara Jaya closed on Sunday..
Wonder they all also going to church and rest on Sabbath Day as well?
Just went out for lunch with Adrienne, Aaron and Angela. (Imagine the
3As) Well guess this would be my last chance to see Adrienne anymore.
Perhaps after she finished her studies in Australia she shall be back
here again in Petaling Jaya. Anyway with my 'wonderfully' stomach pain,
I waited with the three of them for the rain to stop before Adrienne
can actually take a cab to Taman Bahagia to go to PuduRaya to depart
back to Penang which I think it will take her 5 hours to reach Penang.
Anyway Adrienne all the best in your studies in Australia. Your chapter
of live in KDU and Petaling Jaya and with us are finished and now it's
a new chapter and a new life there in Australia. So appreciate whatever
things that you have gone through with us when you were here in KDU and
let us not to forget each other whether u, us or vice versa. Ok? =)
Well just wanna pray Lord Jesus, for Your hand of protection over
Adrienne and protect her from anything that might hinders her form You
for You are our Beloved God, and You are our provider. Therefore watch
over her in all things and let nothing block her from knowing You. In
all things that might happened there, Lord You guarded her heart and
mind and soul so that she will live by Your guidance and be very
sensitive to Your Spirit. Father Lord, You touches ppl surruonding her
just like the way You touch her so that they too will experience Your
life as well as much as how she experience You. Therefore in all things
that You do, bless her abundantly. In Jesus' mighty name, I pray and
ask, Amen.. =)
Anyway back to my blog for the day. Now I'm back at Aaron's room
onlining and chatting with some ppl. Well listening to some oldies such
as Barry Manilow (I write the song), Sting (My funny friend and me),
Don Mclean (Starry starry night), Dan Hill (Sometimes when we touch),
Richard Marx (Right here waiting) & Luther Vandross (Dance with my
Father) Notes: My favourite oldies here are Sometimes when we touch, My
funny friend and me & Dance with my Father. Anybody loves those
songs? Aaron KO when he listens to those song. He is in his own world
now.. Sounds to me like he is drunk now. But an awake drunk. Not
totally alcoholic drunk. Me? Due to the reason I'm writing up this
blog, I'm making myself awake just to write the blog.. So ppl be happy
reading this blog ya cause this blog is written with an awake and sober
person ans pain in the stomach which is me cause all the songs is
making us drowsy and sleepy. So appreciate what we write and not
complaint of anything about it. (Although it may sounds a bit
long-winded)
Anyway I like the song, My funny friend and me cause it remind me of
Joram where he is the funny one and I'm his friend. Happening eh,
Joram? So funny till my stomach is suffering from diarrhea. Pity me..
I wonder does that affect Aaron as well cause he is facing the same
circumstances.. =) (Anyway just kidding, Joram.. Long time never see
you oredi. You know lah sick ppl talk sickening stuffs. Hope you don't
mind ya, Joram.. Btw it's been about 2 to 3 days I had not seen you but
then it is long enough for me to be sick.. So again I shall say. Sick
ppl talks sickening stuff. Sorry...) =)
Dance with the Father reminds me of Luther Vandross' relationship wih
his dad, how intimate his love with his dad. I cried before when I
heard the song last few years. That time I failed my studies in Help
Institute. Can't continue to study anymore. But that song brought me
back to my love for parent, how they had concerned with my life,
studies and even social life as well.. It matters a lot to me cause
they showed concern over my life and never fail to help me to built
myself up again. Thank God for them and also for my beloved Lord Jesus
Christ.
Anyway I guess my blog is long enough to be written for this time.
Shall continue it some other time. God bless and have a blessed
Sunday.. =)
Ps: I shall again stay in Aaron's room and listening to his heart melting oldies.. =)
