TWO

Two years…
730 days, 17520 hours, 1+ million minutes;
Thousands of miles, hundreds of destinations and places;
From sea level to eleven thousand feet;
A lot of family and friends;
Birthdays, Celebrations and Funerals;
Plate-loads of food, delicious desserts and tong sui;
Moving truck-loads to planting shovel-fulls;
Shopping and buying to unloading a load of junk;
House parties to house-cleaning;
Hot pots and Chocolate fondue;
From shopping malls to waterfalls;
From one company to another, and another;
Tons of laughter and gallons of tears of love, joy and sadness;
Twenty thousand photos but a million hugs and kisses;
A lot of cheong-hei conversations but three important words;
And just ONE.
The ONE I love.
ONE LIKE NO ONE

The Color of my world…

Is this time of the year again

Well, December rolls along nicely and with only about 8 days of work left, it’s hard to shake off the slow morning starts. Last minute work pours in and you just get busier always. Nevertheless, this is my favorite time of the year. Not only do you get to celebrate with family and friends and have holidays and all that, it is even more significant to realize that it is when we have been given the ultimate Christmas gift. The gift of life. While we all can argue again that the real birth of Jesus was in April and not December, still, it is and will be the ultimate Christmas gift – life and final reconcilation. Two years ago, around this date, the most wonderful and beautiful person in this world gave me the best gift any person has given me and it’s not even material.

A fresh perspective on the big-10!

And God spoke all these words:
“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

“You shall have no other gods before me.

“You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments.

“You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

“Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.

“You shall not murder.

“You shall not commit adultery.

“You shall not steal.

“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

~ Exodus 20:1-17

Real life Resumes and Interviews

I wonder what they teach in school nowadays… I’ve conducted about seven interviews over the past couple of days and I don’t remember writing my first resume like this or answering interviews in this manner.
In real life resumes:

Objective section: To get a job. RM1800 expected salary. Wow! How direct?!

Languages section: Can speech average and write english, chinese and malay. Hmm, what’s speech and is there an “average” language?

Interview question #7
You say your strength is mathematics. What sort of topics did you learn or what did they teach?
“In sem one, basic maths. Then one year later, advanced maths”
Erm, what topics do they cover, you know, statistics, calculus, number theory?
“Set also got, then got advanced maths”

The price of everything

Well, it’s a melancholy Wednesday and I’m having a headache… and I’m waxing lyrical.

Everything has a price…
A piece of bread,
Or a bowl of noodles.
A simple t-shirt,
Or a designer outfit.
A simple bicycle,
Or a Mercedes Benz.
Even people have a price although some cheat by saying priceless.
But what price true love?
Because love is not priceless either.
The price of love is life.
“This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.”
John 3:16

A Wet Valentine Monday?

七夕; Pinyin: qī xī
It’s Chinese Valentine’s day or something like that today… A wet morning that probably caused a lot of people to be late. When the chicken crowed at 6:45am and the rain still drizzling down, most people will just stay under their covers. I guess that’s the result of having too much fun over the weekend. However, I hope it stays as it is and not have unexpected things crop up…
