Signing off soon

After much consideration on the current job scope, finally i had made up my mind to resign from this job. Had already submitted my resignation letter and going to resign on 1st July. It was a hard decision to make as I just worked in this factory for 1 year + and people are treating me very well. The only thing that chase me away are the super overloaded tasks + crazy budgetting.

I thank God for this experience that I have to be a purchaser/ material planner in this factory. I believed I had learned a lot not only in terms of buying vege free shallots but experiencing the pressures and tensions to work in a factory environment. It is common to see people deceiving others in order to cover up their own mistakes, stepping others back to make them look better, gossiping during breaktime and lunch as entertainment in this boring army-like factory.

All these experiences for sure will help me in my future not only on how to deal when faacing similar situation but more on understanding on the sinful desires of people during this end time and also be able to understand and encourage those who have the same experience as I had.

Overwhelmed by tiredness...

I feel so tired today. Couldnt manage to wake up on time to work this morning. Alarm rings! I opened my eyes, press a button on my mobile and continue my dream. I slept until suddenly i heard mom calling my name. I opened my eyes again, look at my mobile again and opps.... it's already 7am. I then jumped out from my bed and get myself prepared as soon as possible before heading to work. Although I overslept but yippy! I managed to reach company on time. I did not feel sleepy the whole day today coz lots of issues and piles of stuffs waiting for me to clear. Also thanks to my energy booster, Nescafe, to make me awake for the whole day. But after coming back from work I am like a dead fish just feel like curling myself under the comfortable quilt and have a good night sleep.
Anyway, good nite!

Story of ZongZi

Yesterday was the day for Chinese to eat Zongzi. Eating Zongzi is a festival to honour Qu Yuan, a pioneer poet of ancient China. According to the older generation Qu Yuan was a famous poet who concerned a lot about his country. Unfortunately, with his love to the country it aroused the jeolousy of the King and subsequently been banished to a remote area. Due to his disappointment towards the government he committed suicide in Miluo river. The Chinese back then felt sad over the loss of this poet. They searched around the rive in hope of finding the deceased body and at the same time throwing Zongzi in the river in order to keep the fishes from eating Qu Yuan's body.
There are a few types of Zongzi nowadays with different tastes. I would prefer the yellowish glutionous rice which to be tasted together with brown sugar than the original 'bahchang' which wrapped with glutionous rice, meat, egg yolk, mushrooms and etc. But somehow, the glutionous rice is very filling and the best way is to be accompanied by chinese tea... I do not have any recipe here to share coz I dun really enjoy much Zongzi. You can go google if you like to make your own zongzi... it's fun and not that difficult to make.

Thought of Life I

It has been months since Alex admitted into hospital. I am sure it is a long journey for him to go through and there will be a lot of tough time where he needs to walk thru himself. Imagine a small but active tumor is able to intrude into your bone and even to the nerves to make an energetic person lying on the bed. The memory of him playing captain ball together with us, and even being the captain of our church team is still fresh in my memory. Although we just came to know this guy not long ago, maybe a year or two ago? He is a very independent person who likes to do things his own (only my opinion, might be wrong). He was not a Christian back then when he first came to our church. He was kind of like trusting in himself and was a workaholic. But somehow, thank God for His gracious love to this brother that he converted during his fight with the spinal tumor. His life has been changing since he became a Christian. We can clearly see how God has been working in this brother that he has been such an encouraging to us who are around him. Brother, keep shining for Christ and never lose hope in Jesus who saves us by his blood.

Our YAF in the Mount Mariam

No doubt God has taught him a lesson through this sickness but never forget that we around him have been learned quite a fair bit too. For me personally, I am once again being reminded on the importance of life and never to waste our time in the not-important tasks which we thought is important. Everyone of us has a life to live out. It depends on how we want it to be shined.

Some people chasing after the wind for the whole life hoping to get rich only to find out that he has nothing else but the money to accompany him to sleep.
Some play very hard during young age only to find out that they are sticking with untreatable sickness during their old age.
Some live out a life as simple and ordinary only to find out that life is so meaningless at the end of the life time.

What then is a meaningful life? What then is a life that a person will not regret during his last breathe?
The only reason to live is to know and have relationship with The One that created us and to know the purpose and meaning of living realizing that we are mists that appear a little while and vanishes away.

Jesus told his disciples, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6).

He did not merely point the way to God. He himself claimed to be the only way to the Father and the source of eternal truth and life.
