The Mobile phone vs The Bible

I was at New Life class last Sunday before church service and Ps Chee Wai recapped on last week's lesson about the Bible being a fundamental tool in a Christian believer's life. Interestingly, he gave this little handout to a few of us which wrote this:-

The Mobile phone vs The Bible

I wonder what will happen if we treat our bible like we treat our mobile phone?

What if we carry it around in our handbags or pockets?
What if we refer to it several times a day?
What if we turn back to get it if we forget it?
What if we use it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treat it as if we cannot live without it?
What if we give it to our children as a gift?
What if we use it when we travel?
What if we use it in case of emergency?

Unlike our mobile phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being "disconnected" because of the unpaid bill...
Jesus has already paid the bill in full.

And just think....~~~~ NO MISSED CALLS!!!

GOD HEARS THEM ALL!!! :DD

Had a tough weekend trying to survive through a migraine and sore throat...
Took a day off work today to recover.

Please pray for this sick cow...(hehe...)

How come I don't see it anywhere in Malaysia????!!
Totally regret not getting this when I used to see it hanging around everywhere in Valleygirl and Temt back in Australia....

Heh... just one of those girly stuff that I have on my wish-list.
Still looking....

Penang for the long weekend...

It's Merdeka Day (National Independence Day) on Sunday so we've got an extra public holiday here in Malaysia this Monday. I bought bus tickets to get back to Penang to spend the long weekend with Mummy.

Arrived Penang at around 4-ish in the afternoon. Tagged along with Mummy to do some grocery shopping at Sunshine Farlim. It's been a long time since we last went to Sunshine Farlim to do our groceries ever since Tesco opened in Gelugor almost more than a year ago. Walking down those familiar aisles, hearing the voice of the announcer on loudspeakers in Hokkien, seeing the same man sitting at the entrance selling lottery tickets, really brought me down memory lane to the days when I used to happily volunteer myself to get up early every Friday mornings to accompany Mummy for grocery shopping at that same place. I enjoy being with Mummy at supermarkets. I like observing how she organises her trip to supermarkets, with her shopping list in her hands, carefully ticking off what to get, meticulously picking her choices off the shelves, etc. On the other hand, I'd be the one pushing the cart tagging her at every corner of the supermarket. I don't think she knows why I do what I do, besides wanting to learn how to pick good fruits and veggies and observing the looks of some raw ingredients, I like pushing the cart because I want to be around her. Mummy's not very expressive with her words, so I guess my longing to spend that quality time with her would usually be the grocery shopping times that I spend with her. In return, I give her the "acts of service" love language that speaks to her most.

Feels good to be at home after 2 whole months of being away. Mummy made curry puffs specially for me. I'm a fan of her curry puffs ever since the first time I tasted them when I was a kid. Hehe... I literally threw out the usual thought of being conscious of what I put through to my mouth. I gobbled down about 6 of them at one go when arrived home.
I was also spoilt with Herbal soups, lots of mooncakes, fresh carrot juices (I miss!!) and herbal tea eggs. Thanks, Yummy Mummy!! =D

The rain's falling angrily on the roofs now. Perfect time to cuddle in my favourite quilt and catch some sleep. Laterz!

Reordering disorders

I've been challenged a lot to keep up with time and am feeling like as though I'm so far behind from where I thought I should be. Work's been challenging. Still trying to find my way around checking other people's work. At least that's what my job scope requires of me. I've got a weakness. I tend to set expectations on myself but the other side of me thinks that I cannot do it. Often enough I visualise a devil with 2 horns on the left of my head, saying to me, "Yes, it's very hard and not easy. You're right. You're slow. You can't, can't cant." On the other side, I picture an angel with a halo on his head cheering me on saying, "Your confidence is in Christ. You can, can, can!"(*LoL* so yeah, I watched a lot of Looney Tunes when I was a kid.). Although I know which side I should follow, I can't seem to bring my flesh to follow that voice. This confusion in my head has been stressing me up a lot and I've been losing my focus. I feel disorganised, wobbly and shaken. I don't know where to begin with.

Disorder spells stress, and stress is one thing you can designate as the opposite of peace. I get stressed when I don't know how to do something. Or, I'm not sure I know how to do something, which somewhat describes how I feel half of the time at work. As I was spending my devotional time with God today, I was reminded of one of God's characteristics. The Bible says that, "For God is not a God of disorder but of peace." (1 Corinthians 14:33). Very true. I do realise that I have been rather disorganised at work and figured I had to improve in prioritising what needs to be done first. There's always an order to getting things done efficiently. Order is good.

Indeed, thank God for that simple reminder of Himself. What a pleasure to know that He surely is constantly giving me more information about how to do my job of living at peace.

Ahh......... what a relieve. It'll get better. =)

2 more weeks to go till I finish my first assignment. I'm almost there!!! whooppie doohoo!

The office building in USJ for the past 2 months ++

My nomadic workstation

Poo Ling and I...--we share our laughters, burdens, datelines together.....

Been a while.

Been a while since my last post. No doubt that I cannot stop the clock from ticking but I'd still like to believe that I am in control of time. Well, my own time, at least. Yes, I have been quite occupied. Someone once said that almost more than 70 percent of your lifetime is spent at your workplace. I very well am experiencing the underlying truth behind this statement. Been fully utilizing my weekends with activities -- random walks at the malls alone, meals with friends, jungle trekking with cell mates, Inter-Accounting Firm Games Tennis match for the past few weeks.... to add to that, PwC are the Champions this time!! Whooppiee doo hooo!! Didn't participate in any of the matches (I'm a reserve in the team) but I was a participant in the *ahem* "cheerleading team"! *LoL*... go go PwC!!

Oh, forgot to mention that Papa & Mummy came down to KL about a week ago. It was the first time seeing Mummy ever since I started my job. Mummy looks fantastic! Truly, I can see how God has covered and blessed her so greatly through and through. Parents came down to clean up our new home so that new curtains can go up. The house is almost ready already, just some final touch-ups needed. Went furniture shopping at Harvey Norman's and got all of our beds and white-goods already. I realised that I have been sleeping on hard mattresses all my life and this time, I decided to opt for a softer bed because I felt that I fancied the foamy, bouncy feeling on softer beds and I liked the feeling of snuggling in like a cocoon under my comforter..HEhh! Oh yeah, gotta say I love the new Fridge, too! Shall take a photo of it and post it up just for kicks when it arrives within a month's time. It won't be too long before I move into this new home, I hope! That will mark another chapter of new beginnings for me and the whole family when everyone's ready to move in.

On a side note, how did the last weekend go? It turned out to be one that I had more time to myself. Had the itch to get out of the house and that got me wishing that Brisbane river were still a stone's throw away so that I could just put on my sports gear, strap on my ipod and go for a joy run.... (or rather, walk.. *LoL*.). Been fed enough with horrendous news about women being raped or even losing their lives going around KL neighbourhoods unaccompanied had sorta instilled phobia in me, so I felt that it's not the wisest thing to do. I got pretty fidgety at home that I even wished that my dumbbells were lying around here so that I could do some reps to pump up the adrenaline in me a bit. Sadly, I ended up bumming on my bed snooping around Facebook photos for cheap thrills. Talk about being ultimately unproductive. =__=

Aiks, I forgot I could have rang Mal up to arrange for a meet-up.. GAhH!!... **

More exciting days to come... heh.

Another day...

Am I at a point of no improvement? I try to move forward but I can't seem feel like there's any movement. It's like a car with its wheel stuck in the mud, I feel. I can imagine myself grabbing my head and screaming out loud..."What's wrong with me? Ah, stop thinking of the impossibilities!" Frustrated, disappointed and tired, I wonder, can I make it through this?
All I feel is condemnation. I only hear, " I can't, I can't, I can't."

Yes, perhaps you are right. I can't, but I know Jesus can.

I am small, I am limited. I am searching for that confidence that I have misplaced. Let me sweep up all my insufficiencies and place it at His feet.
Reaching the finishing line will be worth it because that's when I'll know, I couldn't have done it without Him.
