I'm BACK and BLESSED!

29th August 2008

It's always an undeniable fact that God is always GOOD to me! I have a great and wonderful trip to Gold Coast! After the 'nite mare' of being left behind by the group; finally I get myself on plane to Sdyney for transit to Gold Coast! To be frank, I have a sleepless nite with an panda eyes when I'm on board as the sense of rejection is so huge to me that I started to have the phobia to travel. (Thanks to God that I have overcome it!)

I like JETSTAR's service very much! They are really caring and 'professional' even though they are the budget airline. The experience that I have with them is really unforgetable as they respect the passengers and gives you the service that you deserved! This experience was for example, my seat neighbour falls asleep during the last meal serve and he cant get to buy his breakfast as the session was already over; but the stewardess understand that he was hungry as the flight from KL to Sydney is long journey! Guess what! She give him 2 snack bun for free!! Actually not the 'free stuff' that has attracted me but it's the customer service that they provided to the passengers that has impressed me.

The transit from Sydney International Airport to the Domestic Airport is not a walking distance as I assumed it is. I want to praise God that He has a PERFECT timing for everything!! Even though this was my first time to Sydney Airport, I managed to get my way to the Domestic Airport! It's a real great experience to travel and be into this 'adventures'!

It's a always blessing to have someone there available to pick a 'lost sheep'! Hehee.. I'm the lost sheep lor.. The organizer, Har has arranged and get a 'handsome' guy to pick me up at Gold Coast Airport to MovieWorld directly. It's a great day!! I have quit from taking all the 'funny' rides for quite sometimes but once I stepped into the MovieWorld; I cant resist to join back the crowd and takes all the 4 and 5 star rate rides! (No joke on one of the rides - Superman Escape that I took, the experience was like My body is ahead of me but my hearts and aware was 3seconds behind! It's really a great time to be there... and I'm extremely exhausted that nite!


30th August 2008
We went to Paradise Farm and at there; we 'expereince' the real Australian farm by watching people sherding the sheep, Billie Jean's and boomerang performance. It's quite a wonderful experience as I never saw it before. :-p

At that nite, I went over to my cousin's aparment to overnite and her place is really magnificent! The view that oversees the whole Surfer's Paradise is great and the enviroment is superb! We went for a walk after the dinner; but I get an "EGG ATTACK" from the Australian! This was just a split seconds that my jeans with full egg and egg shell!! My cousin thought initially that someone from the apartment has throw an egg out from the apartment but in the end, we agreed that the egg was from the car that drove on the road.. No matter where the egg came from, I've been attacked by egg and I have to end my night early. To my own surprise, I dont really feel anything as this is just a small little things compared to missing the flight and have to catch another flight here to Gold Coast. Not a big deal, I can just wash my jeans and my cousin's house is just a walking distance. Egg.. So WHAT!

Not to mention on the EGG Attack; I've a great blessings from my cousin as she motivated and inspired me with alot of teaching from the bible especially on the TALENTS! God has given us alot of Talents; Use it for His Kingdam and God will call you " GOOD and FAITHFUL SERVANT" !! This sharing really speaks to me and I'm still searching on how I can give back to God and serve His People. Besides that, there's another one advice that I grabed hold the most is Always move FORWARD; not SIDEWARD! Face your challenge and overcome it!

31st August 2008
As per expected, my cousin is a workalcoholic! I thought she will bring me to church but her staff absence from work so she will have to replace her for the morning shift and not able to make it to bring me to church. And to my surprise and shocked, she passed me the car key with a map to Carrara mkt! Guys, this is my first day (less than 18hrs) in Surfer's Paradise! But I took the 'kiasu' challenge from her and drove myself to Carrara mkt in a Camry (the biggest car that I ever drive in my lives!) When I reached Carrara mkt, to be very frank; I very proud with myself that I can make it there safely! (Thank God for His protection!)

But.. I'm lost on my way back! :-( (Don't laugh at me lar!) I used less than 15mins to arrive Carrara mkt but around 1hr to be back to Surfers Paradise! No matter how, I'm stil back to Surfer's Paradise safe and sound,k! Hahaha... I'm PROUD of myself! I prayed very hard one ar... cause my cousin just let me know the building colors and landmark along the road to Carrara without mentioning the road name!

Hehehe.. more to share is.. I ate Lobster that nite!! Hehehe.. It's really delicious!!! But.. I'm too tired to really enjoy and taste the food...

1st Sept 2008
A group of 5 of us went to Mt. Tambourine this day; the view of the mount is magnificent and very very peaceful! I wish to go back there once again to enjoy every single corner of the mount because the trip was quite rush as we followed the tour arrangement. The expereince in wine tasting in the winery is really something new to me and I enjoyed it very much!

We went to Surfer's Paradise after the tour and I went to say Good bye to my cousin. Out of my expectation, my cousin blessed me with some supports! I'm proud with her success in her career life and her determination in her work is really sth that I need to learn from her very much.

2nd Sept 2008
Wake up early in the morning and back to M'sia lor... But I really thank God as He just send angel to us. My luggage confirmed overweight but we just managed to get ppl that dont shopped to have a group checked in with us to avoid the penalty of overweight.

We need to get a tax rebate with the Australia custom but I cant carry liquid products on board; as we arrived the airport, we managed to get a customer officer to help us to inspect and get all the procedures smoother! God is GOOD ALL THE TIME!

I've been OFFLOAD by AIR ASIA and AU Govt!

What a day that I have!!! A most of you know that I'm traveling to Gold Coast now! And at this time, I should be in the plane; SLEEPING!! But guess what! I've been offload by AirAsia Crew and Aussie representative before I can get on board! Sigh.. All this, I will throw back the blame to myself as I'm too arrogant to thought that I'm have traveled to Australia before and it should not have any prob! Sigh.. Guess you must be wondering what has really happened!

The matters started when I'm holding 2 passport! One a renew passport and another one an old passport which I have passed to my colleague to apply for visa. I used my own understanding to assume that there' should be no problem as i can just explain to the officer why I bring 2 passport. But, as I understand I have to applied a new one once the old one is no longer 'active' (still have more than 6mth validity). My initial intention to renew the passport was due to my preparation to UK; that's the reason why.

All of the officers told me that it's luckily that they find it out while i'm in Malaysia otherwise I will be put into 'jail'? when I'm in Aus. Is this real? No matter how, they don't let me to be on board as they claimed the airline will be fine at 15K (RM or AUD?). Conclusion, I have to get another ticket today and fly again to Gold Coast to meet up with my colleague on 29/8. I feel so bad as I have created such an 'issue' to them and makes them worries about me! But I still thankful for the 'second' opportunity to go to Gold Coast as the company is willing to pay for me the ticket; but it's my responsibility so there's some responsibility which I should take.

What a day! YEs.. Disappointment... it is confirmed. But what has come to my surprise is that during hr and time; HE sent angel too to be there with me. To be frank, Air Asia crew and the Aussie representative did gives me alot of information and advice how on strict it is with Australia govt.

I have booked my second ticket and get my another visa done for the flight tomorrow note. God bless me this time! Otherwise, I really hav to think where else I can go to spend my 5 days.....

Drown in work...

It has been quite sometimes that I have severe backache and a very stiff/hard shoulder muscle ache. Besides this, my temper has become very very bad and most of my college can just feel and sense it ... I also wonder what has happened to me! My current role in the company is like a consultant agent to help and advice my new colleagues on the informations/ideas on how to approach some of the matters/issues that they faces... to be frank, i love to do it when I'm 'free'... But recently.. I'm totally lost focus on my own KPI; frustrations started to overwhelm me.. I need God!!
I feel so alone most of the time in the company; I know it's the time now for me to stand up and learn to make decision! But God's strength and guidance is what I need the most!! Without Him, to be very frank.. I will be totally lost in time! God help me... I'm starting to drown now...


Besides the bitter part of my busy work schedule; I wanna PRAISE GOD for I will be going for a week of break in Gold Coast next week!!! It's a great 'runaway'.. when I'm so drown in work... there's a rainbow waiting for me at the next corner of my lives where I can the time to take some fresh air in Gold Coast and make my mind more clear and focus! I cant wait for it anymore!!!

Another exciting part of my 2008 planning is I'm going to start my MBA class soon in Nov lar!!! I cant wait to be a student and be back to college live again! Yes, it's not the same as I'm doing it in a part time basis but at least I'm realizing my dream... Thank God!

Going back this weekend to visit my parents, cant wait to hug my naughty Alston too! What a lovely rewards after all the hardship that I get in KL.. Ayer Tawar.. I'm coming home....

Time just flies..

Time just flies.. and now it's End of Mid Aug.. and it'll be End Aug 2008 very very soon and then.. I'm flying to Gold Coast for a week of holiday!! Phew! What a life that I have, great? wonderful? admiring? Erm.. for me.. I do admit that I have enjoying alot of 'luxury' in lives.

Last Friday, I went to a fine dining French Restaurant for my superior's farewell gathering. This is the first time ever in my life to a 'fine dining' place and in fact, I did felt good and enjoyed the environment. Hehehe... just the 'crowd' are the 'right' one, otherwise it is just 'prefect'! hehehe.. :-p

I really Thank God for the opportunities in career, lives, spiritual, ministry, family that I have all these while! I can't wait for my MBA classes to start to begin another new steps in my lives towards maturity! I have a very strong desire to 'change' my wardrobe dress for this new beginning of my lives and I will do it one day!

It's a HOT DAY today!!!! got to 'off' the keyboard for some cold drink.... continue again......

Meeting with 'Angel" and Wonderful Olympic Opening in Beijing 2008!

After week of busy 'entertaining' my own schedule; finally now i managed to 'steal' some 'precious' moment with my blog. A lot of interesting event happened during the week and one of them was car broke down!

Last Thursday nite as my regular sport day; I was rushing home to change my clothes and got myself ready for the my 'new shared group' meeting but.. as I went to the petrol station to refill some fuel! My car just 'died' after that and after several attempt to get the engine started, yet... the car still remain silent!! This is the FIRST time in my life; facing this situation!! Thank God, my bro was at home and I'm also very near to home; so my rescue '911' just appeared within few minutes. With the thought that my bro is an 'experience car electrician', he should has no prob handling the 'prob' that we faced now.. but.. I'm wrong.. ( sad to say but dont tell him!) During the time as my bro trying to figure out what was wrong with the car; 'an angel' just appeared out of no where!! Initially my bro and I thought, he was from 'car accident' company and also like others 'k por' that always came and talk with the intention to earn your money.

And he proved us wrong!! He is not the same race as us and we never thought that he really came to offer his hands of help to us! He offered his car battery to do the 'jump start' for our car and my car came 'ALIVE' again! Thank God for the angel! But the story not yet ended, he has misplaced one of the screw of his battery and ending up, we have to do some 'treasure hunt' to look for the screw. And Yes, he found out in this car in the end! It's a wonderful experience but I missed the 'shared group' meeting. :-(

Last Friday... (08/08/2008)
Beijing Olympic 2008 Opening!!! It was great, amazing, magical, wonderful and I have lost my words for this wonderful event!! Without notice to be very frank, my tears fall as I watched the Olympic Opening in front of my 'ants screen' tv; I'm proud with China! Every single performance of the opening has opened up my 'small' eye to this wonderful country! The 5000 yrs of history that they have created was a GREAT story to tell the world!

After watching the event. it seems like an awakening to me as I've being traveling averagely half a year once (even though this seems like quarterly once); but in my travel list I never put China into my list as I have heard too much 'interesting toilet' story from previous visitors to the country. But now, seeing the greatness and effort the Chinese community has putting into this great event. I'm seriously looking into considering to visit some of the states and planning a trip to visit my own hometown in Kutien, Hockchew with my parents one day as this has being their dream for years!

Good bye to my weekend; and Hi to my battle net!

"Honour your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you." Ex20:12

Supposed to be posted on 21st July 2008

For the last few days, this verse " Honor your father and your mother" keeps coming back to me.. no matter day or night; it just keep repeatedly appeared to me. But I just don't know why so I just ignore it as I'm have put my focus to make sure I have the right decision using on my own understanding and strength.

To be frank, deep down in my heart I'm not willing to let go but I knew it well that I can no longer be selfish anymore, I need to learn to care for others especially my parents. All these while, my focus is what I want and how my parents can provide to me; never ever in my thoughts that I ever think of what can I do to my parents. Their unconditional love has pampered and spoilt me!!! Since young till now, they are always my best supporters in the earth !! Even though I have make thousands of mistakes and failed them; they comforted me and said.. "It's ok! WE love U"!! Do I deserve this? "YES" was the answered in my mind all this while because for me, this is the 'standard criteria' of parents! How wrong am I!!! And what a shame to me!!!

After much conflict within myself, finally I have decided to make the decision to stay back in Malaysia to further my studies. As I informed my parents on my final decision, they were just like the world most happiest person and all their burden is release!!! To be frank, I feel relief after I made the decision and I just dont understand why that I still believe my dream will not just ended here... I will make it a reality ONE DAY and I'm confidence God will watch over me, if this is HIS WILL and not mine!

As I have done with my decision making, I have shared it with one of my best friends in overseas, what I told her was only " Honor your parents" and she reminded me of the next God's promise when I honored my parents; which is "...so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you" In Ex 20:12.

What I would said is as long as I honor God; His promised never fails! I Love YOU, Jesus!

Thank YOU very much, LORD!

Today is a great day for me as God answered my prayer and He is just there when I needed HIM the most.. Everything is very routine to me during my working hrs but I thank God that I managed to earn some orders for the company before I left. I'm always proud of myself as a 'PREMIUM' trader... (hehe...) But very soon.. all this will only become part of the 'history' or experience in my life and for the company, it just a figure that they normally earned monthly. Haha... how sarcastic it sounds rite.... but no one can deny that this is the FACT! If you ask me whether I will be missing my colleagues, business contacts or partners and customer or not; YES will definitely be my answer. Some of my contacts that knew my leaving End Aug, we just simply cant help by changing the relationship status from contacts to friends. I really Thank God for sending 'real friends' into my workplace.

After ending the hectic day; another side of 'hectic' was just the beginning... mainly due to misunderstanding, we spent the whole nite 'debating' over it. To be frank, I came to that meeting with ' no peace' in my heart even though I have prayed over it but still I'm struggle to get over the 'feeling' in the meeting. God's way is always the most 'sweetest' and BEST way! HE use another person to clear the 'misunderstanding' that we spent more than 1 hr to talk using God's word! hahaha.... Hallelujah and PRAISE His HOLY NAME! What I learned thru this incident is.. If you are doing God's work; God will be there to speak to us when we are lost!
God will watch over His Shepherd because if His shepherd is lost and confused, how the shepherd going to lead the sheep? HE will not let us 'figure it out' ourself, He will LEAD and shepherd HIS shepherd.
