Dear diary,
After approximately 2 months of so called 'holidays', I'm back into the working world.. It has been a week since I started work. I'm currently working in an IT company and holding an interesting position. :)
My work for now will be monthly SLA reporting. I haven started anything yet but I'm currently 'playing' and observing their previous data. Meanwhile, I'm learning some new things regarding MS Excel from the internet. :) Ah.. It has been awhile since I last use Excel.. This will definately be a good time to polish up my skills :)
Hmmm... Still not familiar with the reporting yet but I believe, in due time, everything will be within my finger tip. I have to admit that I'm still feel raw with the environment but thank God for the people are nice to me over there :)
Well, I'm enjoying my time now in the office as there's not much work for me. However, I can foresee that it will be hectic in the coming week. I shall anticipate it and be ready for the battle! Gambateh neh!

The Test... Are you ready?
I was browsing Facebook this afternoon and I saw a video shared by a friend of mine. The video instantly caught my attention as it is related to McDonald's. Oh yes, I am a McD fans Emmm.... "Was a McD fan" maybe? Details are as below:-
Content of the video 1: An experiment carried out by Morgan on McD food.
Purpose: To show us how food is broken down in our body.
OK, I have to say that it is DISGUSTING!!! As a French fries lover, I really wonder what on earth McD used to produce their French fries. Aren't they using POTATOES? *Pondering how much of McD French fries I have consumed throughout my whole life*
Out of curiosity, I went to YouTube and tried to search for a person who has carried out another experiment on the decomposition of McD food but this time for a longer period of time. Well, you bet I found one! Please be prepared to see what happens to McD food after 4 YEARS....
= Video 2 =
OK.... Interesting facts for the day....... Now I can understand why people can really gain weight by consuming fast food! That is because the food they are consuming are not breaking down as how it is expected to! My next question will be...... McD anyone? =P

The Lord shall be my strength
一切的付出我都看得见，但不知为何主有此安排。心底却实很混乱但在我最软弱的时候，上帝啊，请你应允我依靠你。让我一心一意的跟随你吧。
Tidakkah kautahu, dan tidakkah kaudengar? TUHAN ialah Tuhan kekal yang menciptakan bumi dari ujung ke ujung; Ia tidak menjadi lelah dan tidak menjadi lesu, tidak terduga pengertianNya. Dia memberi kekuatan kepada yang lelah dan menambah semangat kepada yang tidak berdaya. Orang muda menjadi lelah dan lesu dan teruna-teruna jatuh tersandung, tetapi orang yang menanti-nantikan TUHAN mendapat kekuatan baru; mereka seumpama rajawali yang naik terbang dengan kekuatan sayapnya; mereka berlari dan tidak menjadi lesu, mereka berjalan dan tidak menjadi lelah.

Be watchful
Something interesting that I read from Sunday School Teaching Network...
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.

3 wishes...
Interesting short story I read through The Star.
A King's 3 wishes
After conquering many kingdoms, the great Greek king Alexander was returning home when he fell seriously ill. Nothing his generals did could cure him.
With death staring him in the face, Alex realised how his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no value to him as he lay waiting to breathe his last. All he wanted then was to go home, see his mother's face and bid her a fond farewell. But knowing that he would not have time to reach his distant homeland, he summoned his generals and told them:
" I will depart from this world soon. I have 3 wishes which you must carry out without fail."
With tears flowing down their cheeks, all his men could do was nod.
"My first desire is that my physicians alone must carry my coffin."
After a long pause, the king continued, " when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard should be strewn with the gold, silver and precious stones which I have in my treasury."
Quite exhausted by then, he said softly: "Finally, after I'm gone, let both my hands dangle out of my coffin."
The people who had gathered around the king wondered about his strange requests. But no one dared to ask about the rational behind them. Alex's favourite general then kissed his hands and pressed them to his heart. "I assure your highness that your wishes will be fulfilled. But why?"
At this the ailing monarch took a deep breathe and said: " I would like the world to know the 3 lessons I have just learnt."
"I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realise that no doctor can cure every ailment. Doctors cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let not people take life for granted."
"Strewing gold, silver and other riches along the path to the graveyard will serve to remind everyone that I might have spent my life accumulating riches, but I cannot even take a piece of gold with me when I die. So let people realise that it is a sheer waste of time to chase wealth."
"As for the final wish to leave my hands dangling out of the coffin, I want people to know that I came empty-handed into this world and I will leave the same way."
With these words, the king closed his eyes as death conquered him.

...Food for thought...
On his deathbed, the king raelised those crucial lessons about life. What about you? Are you still not convince that all things in this world is meaningless? Did not the Bible told us that through Solomon? (Ecclesiastes) King Solomon was wealthy, filled with wisdom, have tonnes of servants, definitely tried many things of the world, have beautiful wives and kids etc. He was practically an"idol" for all isn't it? Don't you wish to be in Solomon's shoe, to enjoy all those hings? But look at what Solomon said in the conclusion of Ecclesiastes...Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Fear God and keep His commandments,
For this is man’s all.
For God will bring every work into judgment,
Including every secret thing,
Whether good or evil.
Fear God and keep His commandments,
For this is man’s all.
For God will bring every work into judgment,
Including every secret thing,
Whether good or evil.
Thus, chose wisely on what you are investing in this life... Remember, fear God and keep His commandments.

John Calvin
(taken from: http://www.etsu.edu/cas/history/resources/Private/Faculty/Fac_To1877ChapterDocFiles/ChapterImages/Ch3CALVIN.jpg)Friday Youth Fellowship was interesting as we broke out from the norm and did a biography section instead. An influencial French reformist was picked and the story began....
I am not going to present you his biography here as it will be too long for me to do so. (For more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Calvin). But I would like to highlight something that triggered me to put on my thinking cap regarding this guy.
John was a simple and normal guy. However, many took notice of him not because of his looks, his family background etc but of his single-mindedness towards God. The things that he preached was nothing but the truth and only the truth he cling on to until the day he died.
I believe he really struggled in some part of his life as God placed him in a situation whereby John knew that it was God's will towards him but he didn't want to obey it. Nevertheless, who can win the almighty God? If that is His will, thus, He will ensure that His selected one will carry out His will according to His plan. So it was, John at last did what was required out of him willingly with God's strength. How many of us out there are willing to give their heart to God and obey even though what is in God's mind is different than ours? Well, I have to say that it's truly a big slap on myself as many times I chose to go on my own path and my own ways instead of His. How about you? Are you too rebelling against Him?
Secondly, John's life was truly very discipline. How many of us are truly having a discipline life? Yes, many might said what is the use of discipline life but think with me for a moment, if you are not discipline in your life, how much time have you wasted throughout all these years on earth? If you are discipline, you won't face the situation of "doing last minute work", you won't face the situation of "panic because work is undone" etc. Talking is easier than action, thus, am I doing what is necessary to cultivate discipline life? Ahhh... Sadly, the word "discipline" is still far away from me, I have to catch up and truly commit my weaknesses to Him for a changed life!
Last but not least, after all these years, John Calvin's is still 'among us'... Why? Why nobody remember you great great great grandparents but people remember who John Calvin was? Why? Because John Calvin devoted and invested his whole life into God's word and as it is written in the bible, "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever." (Isaiah 40:8). Are you investing your life on the right thing? Or are you investing your life on worldly things (i.e. family, money, job etc)?
All in all, the whole section was a soul seeking section, well at least it is for me. It is a challenge put forth to me to check on my life. Am I living as howHe wants me to live? Am I glorifying His name as how I ought to? Am I being the light and salt of the world? May I too have the eyes that focus upon heavenly things, ears to listen to His words and a submissive heart to Christ.

Press on!
(Taken from: http://www.pravsworld.com/new/experience_struggle_a_little.htm)Reading Ecclesiastes for the very first time. Apparently, I am attracted to Solomon's writing. Have to admit that reading the passage really search my heart. Currently in the state of fighting with my own self. The will & desires within me are so strong until the extend I wish to give up and lay back.
There is a voice within me telling me to go on, go on, and go on.. Suddenly, it reminds me of Job. A man whom when through many trials yet he was still able to say the word "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised."(Job 1:21). What was Job thinking back then? What was is motivation to cling on to God, though many things took place in his life?
Only one thing I can be certain of... God is a faithful God. He is a God that fulfill all His promises. No, not one is forfeited. Yes, though things are "not in place" in your eyes but be of good cheer for it is in place in God's eyes. As God said "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29: 11), therefore, rejoice in your heart and serve Him with all your heart, knowing that He is in control of all things.
