But I am poor and needy;
Yet the LORD thinks upon me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
Do not delay, O my God.
King Solomon said, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths” (Prov. 3:5-6).
Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak, but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy powerful hand. —Williams
Even though O God I may not see your purpose for today’s events and it may not be seen until tomorrow, help me to keep trusting that You know best.
July has been quite a month.
- 2 colleagues from my team resigned.
- To complete my Advance Certificate assignment
- Submission of postgraduate related application
- Replacing others in ikids
Glad July is over and everything is more or less well, back to normal. August should be a more restful month and I am hoping that the 4Q of 2013 will be less taxing though I have loads of projects scheduled for 4Q13.
Nevertheless, this month has been a month of new experience. Because my colleagues have resigned, I am forced to learn new stuff in a rapid pace. My postgraduate application also brought me new encounters that makes me thank God for my nation. To think that another country is more organised, I guess, whether a country is efficient or not will depend on the people. Efficient people at all ranks will lead to efficient services to the people.
A few take home lessons that I learned along the way.
- To be once again reminded on what a supportive family I have.
- My lecturers in TARC really put the student interest above theirs. Their willingness to go the extra mile for the students. A virtue that should be with all teachers.
- I have been blessed with great bosses and colleagues. My supportive "father" and "mother" in office.
- Malaysians are a loving bunch of people and its easier to deal with them.
- Some people are just a pain. Charging you unnecessary. To that Dude that took my RM95. I forgive you because God forgave me more than the RM95 you took from me.
- Ladies always have a warm heart. To the lady that went the extra mile to assist me in my application, I know you are God sent. May God bless you and your family for your special touch.
- God answers at His own timing. He looks at the heart and not at my hands or my capabilities.
I wanted to have a break quite badly in July that I took quite a number of leave. All because I had to run errands but last weekend managed to organise a mini-outing to Frasers staying at Sri Damai (HSBC's Bungalow). The place is awesome and the 7 of us had a great time! Strangely, I am hanging out with people that are at 17 years my senior. Gosh! They must really think I am quite childish in whatever I do. 17 years is a big big gap. That's all the way from kindy, to primary education and even completed secondary school. Well, I still feel quite old because they are more agile compared to me so yeah age does not matter I guess.
It was a good outing with lots of walking, hiking and outdoors. Uncle Wong the caretaker compensates all our exercise with huge and tasty meals. So it was a laid back holiday and I am looking forward to the next. I think I am addicted to travelling. I just love holidays.....
Me trying archery for the very first time.

Fun moments are meant to be captured
A man just got married and was returning home with his wife. They were crossing a lake in a boat, when suddenly a great storm arose. The man was a warrior, but the woman became very much afraid because it seemed almost hopeless:
The boat was small and the storm was really huge, and any moment they were going to be drowned. But the man sat silently, calm and quiet, as if nothing was happening.
The woman was trembling and she said, “Are you not afraid ?”. This may be our last moment of life! It doesn’t seem that we will be able to reach the other shore. Only some miracle can save us; otherwise death is certain. Are you not afraid? Are you mad or something? Are you a stone or something?
The man laughed and took the sword out of its sheath. The woman was even more puzzled: What he was doing? Then he brought the naked sword close to the woman’s neck, so close that just a small gap was there, it was almost touching her neck.
He said,” Are you afraid ?”
She started to laugh and said,” Why should I be afraid ?,If the sword is in your hands, why I should be afraid? I know you love me.
” He put the sword back and said, This is my answer”. I know God Loves me, and the storm is in His hands
SO WHATSOEVER IS GOING TO HAPPEN IS GOING TO BE GOOD. If we survive, good; if we don’t survive, good ,because everything is in His hands and He cannot do anything wrong.
Moral: Develop Trust. This is the trust which one needs to imbibe. and which is capable of transforming your whole life. Any less won’t do!
I know who holds the sword and that brings great comfort.
