(Nov 7th) Friends Never Say Never

Ever since Pastor David announced about the restructuring of the whole church, I had only one question in my mind, "Are the Benjamites going to split?"

On Monday afternoon, Sis Pai Chet called me for a meeting with Bro Jonathan. The bad news came. Jonathan wanted to bring me out from Benjamin and into Joseph. My heart fell. I felt like crying. I really, really love Benjamin. Every time, I can't wait to meet them up either for lunch or just merely a short meeting. I've been a Benjamite for a year. The Benjamites sacrificed so much for me and they have the burden for my spiritual growth. We love each other so much. Another bad news is I won't have Sis Shin Jie as my shepherd anymore. My heart got so broken that I cried. I loved her so much. She's like my sister and I shared many things with her. She helped me a lot in many areas of my life. I just can't let her go. But I have to make a decision.

The reason why Jonathan did this is because I could help the Josephians after Joey moved out from there. She would be taking care of Isaiah care group. I am in Joseph to support the sisters and will also help them. I think it's easier for me because I really want to help Sis Agnes to throw the problem away and also Sis Cherry in fund-raising program...

(Nov 5th) The Lucky Girl

I was supposed to wake up at 6.45am but I woke up late. My mum got angry as she waited for me outside when I was getting ready. After putting her at the shop in Taman Merdeka, I went to the MMU to use the toilet because I had stomach ache. After coming out from there, the clock showed 9.21am. I spent nearly half hour in the toilet! Can you imagine how 'sick' I was? To add the misery on my first day of class plus all the excitement I had, guess what happened?

I was the first student to arrive at CLCR2004. I went to sit at the 3rd row. But I got a strange feeling about it. I went outside to look at the room number and yes, it is that room. I don't want to get into the wrong class. It would be so embarrassing! I took out my Financial Management 1 notes and read. Close to 10am, a few students entered. The lecturer is new. Hmm he looks familiar. I was looking at the things he was clicking in the pc and I saw the name of the folder he clicked on. TM2221. Then, he clicked on the notes. Operation Management. I thought...

I GOT INTO THE WRONG CLASS!!

With a cool fast pace, I kept the notes into my file and took my bag. I walked out before the lecture starts. I was cool but my heart was beating like mad. I don't know what the others would think. I rushed to CITS and checked the timetable. I was afraid of the Statistics lecturer. She once taught me. I thought she would be teaching me again! She is fierce! I went to a computer in Alpha lab. But the guy on the other side said that he wants to use it. My mind was screaming, "He was playing games on the other pc, why would he need another one???" I quickly asked permission to use the pc for a while. I checked. CLCR3004.

WHY??

7 flights of stairs. The most difficult subject. The scary lecturer. What a beautiful morning it was. I arrived at the right venue and I peeped inside. There's the young man standing in front holding the mike. HALLELUJAH! She's not there!

But the excitement did not just end there. The lecturer was so good that he said he would teach us as if we don't know how to do Statistics. Although he was teaching us so slowly, I really glad that God brought me to that class. I bet I can score well in my exam. I was sitting alone at that time but I saw familiar faces. After the class had dismissed, a friend of mine called me, "Do you want to join my group for the assignment?" I was so happy that I quickly nod my head. He was my Alpha mate from Iran. I never thought he would remember my name! I was so thankful to God that He really helped me twice! Despite the misfortunes I faced earlier, God always prepare the best things for me. HALLELUJAH!

(Nov 2nd) The School Life

Honestly, I can't wait to go back to MMU. I missed the people there. I missed sitting in the huge lecture hall and listened to the lectures. Boring or not, I really like the rooms. Although I get cold most of the times, but I enjoyed being there. I also missed the times when I bumped into my mates. We won't just stop to say Hi and Bye, but we will start to chat and who knows, we'll end up sitting in one of the mamak nearby. And then I will follow them to their rooms and continue chatting. Nah, just joking. I also missed some of the lecturers and tutors. Although I used to skip classes and never did my homework, I still love meeting them (I think they hate me... but who cares?)

Come to think about my past years in MMU, I can't believe that I am still not mature enough to handle the fees. Sigh. I didn't calculate the amount that I should use per semester. I thought that the PTPTN would give the exact amount to us to pay for the fees. But I was wrong. Always wrong. Sigh. I can't handle these kinda of things. I hate it when it comes to manage my financial matter. There isn't anything I can do. And when I paid the last fees today, the banker told me that I could do my payment online, so that I don't have to wait in line for a very long, long time. Well, I don't know about it. It seems that that man is angry with me or something. The tone he was using... made me embarrassed. Ok lar, so the bank had invested many, many RM in those internet banking. So what? What if they ended up like Maybank2U? What if everyone has to wait for a few months before their payment is approved? Wow! I can't take the risk.

Somewhere somehow, I lost contact with my school mates! Why is that? I have their numbers and friendster and MSN. But they never seemed to bother me at all. So sad. Is there anything I did wrong to them? Well, I do believe that I did wrong to some people but... the others just don't seem to care about me. Haiya! Anyway, I still am happy with the people around me. Old friends or not, they're my bestest mates! They're from Hope of God church! I love them to bits! It doesn't matter where they came from... Botswana, Nigeria, Nepal, Zimbabwe etc etc.. they are lovely people. They are very sincere and they're just nice! I don't know why I noticed that some local people out there like to talk when some foreigners walked pass them. Is there anything special?

I got to stop now! Got to finish the things for Family Cum Badminton Tournament!

(Oct 27th) Lots of Love

I was the chairperson for care group this week. Although I tried to object the 'offer' many times during JDMM, the decision was final. Julian would get so annoyed with me if he was there. Well, another swell chance to improve my chairing skill. I talked quite a lot. And my words were still flying everywhere! Geesh! I still struggle during prayer after Praise & Worship.

Each session started and ended quickly. The game was OK. 2 people were asked to guess what the 3 mimes were acting out. Wee Kiat can't stop laughing at my miming. What was the matter with mine? He acted out the answers during his part I thought I hadn't guessed any rightly but I got 2 points in the end. During testimony session, Wee Kiat shared a touching one about friendship. It was about when his relatives suggested that he should go to UTAR to study. But his best mate planned to study in MMU. After all the preparation he had done, he left them aside and accompanied her here. He never regrets it. Shin Jie shared hers as well. So I began to ask Khai Lyn, Ben, and Abraham if they would follow their best mates to study somewhere. Khai Lyn said that she came to MMU with Su Han but they weren't close back in their hometown. Eventually, they've became best friends.

During sharing, all of us never gave a chance to Khai Lyn to finish her sharing. She gave examples as if they were real. We kept asking why should we do that and how must we treat the people well, etc. We brought up so many questions and talked to one another about it till it pissed her off - nah, not really. After that, Khai Lyn passed a piece of paper to us. I have no idea what it's for. Khai Lyn asked us to write down our name at the love on the left and on the right - the name of the person we are having grudge with.

I wrote my name on the left as I thought of the person's name. I hadn't been writing the name for quite some time. I was allowed not to write but it wouldn't be fun if I leave it blank. So I boldly wrote it. And I don't feel relieved. Let's cover the cross. Without Jesus in the middle, we'll be on our own. When a conflict rose, our love grew further from each other and there's no way we could get the friendship back, like this...

But with Jesus in the centre, He'll restore our friendship. As we folded the cross, the love came closer to one another. I was moved.

As the Word stated,

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

Romans 12:19 "Do not take revenge, my friends..."

Proverbs 25:21 "If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink."

1 John 4:18 "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear..."

Matthew 5:43-48 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbours and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends down rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."

(Oct 20th) A Wonderful Surprise

I never could imagine that my little godbro, Le Jie would come down to Malacca to work in Quality. It was a surprise (but he spoilt it). For so long, we asked each other about the time we could meet up again. We missed the times we spent together few months ago. There was once I went to KL to meet him. We weren't that close yet but because of how he appreciates our friendship, we became really close. People do misunderstand about us.

It is really fun to have someone who could share anything with me. ANYTHING. EVERYTHING. Usually girls have their girlfriends to share stuffs with such as, clothes. Le Jie and I shared things as well. We have different mindsets. We have different taste. We like different things. But we still share stuffs. It's really hard at first because he don't really speak English. But we can communicate in English now. He learnt fast and he can speak fluently (even better than me). Thank God for that. It is because he has the desire to talk with me and also the desire to learn, that's why he's able to learn fast.

On Tuesday, he brought me to Secret Recipe to have lunch.

These are what we ordered

And then, we went to Living Cabin to get these cute-ies...

We wanted to get the same ones but because of the girlish key chain I got, he doesn't want the same anymore. So he bought another. We were so excited and we put them on right away. We were like kids after getting our favourite stuffs. We are always teasing each other and the others workers teased us - a lot. They asked me when I should meet his mum because in the future he would be my boyfriend. Even the supervisor said that. Everyone thought we're together. But all of us were just fooling around.


He is indeed a great guy. He has a sacrificial heart. He bought me bread when I am hungry. He doesn't think of how much he has in the wallet. He cared for me therefore he bought me something to eat. He doesn't want me to get sick later on. I noticed that people don't appreciate his true friendship. I am glad that I am there for him. He is also a friend indeed! When the time I got really upset, I'd just throw my anger to him and he listened attentively. Most of the times, he'd text me about whatever things happened in KL. Even about the girl he used to like. He has a curious mind. He's always asking me about stuffs he doesn't know. Sometimes, I'd get ticked off because of some silly questions he asked. But he's willing to learn what he doesn't know. He's quick to learn despite the fact that sometimes he'd make me angry


Alright then, I guess I've enough said about him. Here's a picture of...

Sorry, he's quite shy

(Oct 16) A Week of Laughter Part 2

The people who clearly made my working hours go wild!







Chee Yin with her beautiful smile... and Ah Keong with his cool pose



Le Khang and... introducing new friends, Ah Siong with Ah Hua (Blender guys)



And not forgetting, Lady Ah Mei from T1


And especially my god brother, Le Jie...





Extra shots of the guys and girls

I want to thank God for the things He had done in the past few days. Many times, I asked God for Strength, Wisdom, and Courage. He undeniably answered each of my prayers. I always need spare energy to work in Lilic Collections and Quality. He never failed to provide me transport to work every day too. Usually I'll have to catch a bus at 8.30am in order not to be late for my work. But since Le Khang is here in Malacca, he offered rides. This way, I can rest more, save the RM1.30 bus fare and also save some 'walking' energy. It’s been a long time since I drive my mum’s car to work. Even when she allowed me to drive, I’d just say "Don’t want lar" and walk to the bus stop. It’s actually kind of fun to take bus rides. Don't you think so?

Oct 16th was the most fun day in Quality, ever! Thanks to Chee Yin, Ah Mei, Ah Keong, Le Khang, Ah Siong, and Ah Hua. Because of them, I couldn't stop myself from laughing at their jokes and silly actions. I couldn't stop smiling at their sly looks. Plus I can't stop giggling at the Blender guys' flirty jokes. They kept on flirting with me and I just have to walk away from my kiosk. They are really hilarious. During certain working hours, Chee Yin and I would go high – very high. We'll start teasing and laughing at each other. Even when we were so sleepy earlier, we would be wide awake after that. Then, Ah Siong would start to come over and gave me a long stare. He'll ask for my name and I'll ask for his IC (to get his real name). Ah Hua came to our kiosk to sing some Chinese songs. He's never getting humiliated singing out loud when there are a lot of people around us. Wicked time! Honestly, I can't speak to them at first because they don't know English. Ah Hua approached me first and we started to talk. Later, I tried to be friendly to Ah Siong, to give him courage for his new job that is to sell the blenders. Soon, we've became friends.

I always remind myself what God had taught me; Guard my Tongue, and Guard my Heart. I do my job and I complete it. Just like how I am doing in Lilic Collections. I treated the customers like my friends. If they showed some friendly moves, I'd be friendly to them. No matter how old they are or how big their sizes are. They're my customers. I definitely won't get paid extra just for that. I served them with all my heart. If it's the rule in Lilic to serve, I’d do that. Or else why should I be in someone’s boutique when I want to set my own rules?

Another thing is when you've friends around you; it's surely hard to avoid gossips. You'll never get away from it. Unless you're in a safe corner and you can just avoid it. What's difficult for me during work time is... to listen to my colleagues' talks. You'll need to give good response - that is nice to their ears, of course. You really must be polite, right? I did join the chat, but when I realized my mistake the next second, I quickly move to another spot or I make it like the things aren't my business so I shall not kepo. The best way? Don't sit with them at the first place when they're having girls talk. Very dangerous.

These are a few encouraging bible verses that I want to share with you readers.

Cheers!

Philippians 4:6
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."

1 Thessalonians 4:11-12
"Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody."

Philippians 4:113
"I can do everything through him who gives me strength."

Anyone is starving for Singaporean Fried Bee Hun?
