Why do people "celebrate" CHRISTmas (not "X'mas"), which is JESUS' BIRTHDAY, without understanding the significance of it?
Let me tell you what Christmas really means:
There was once a man who didn't believe in God, and he didn't hesitate to let others know how he felt about religion and religious holidays. His wife, however, did believe, and she raised their children to also have faith in God and Jesus, despite his disparaging comments. One snowy Eve, his wife was taking their children to service in the farm community in which they lived. They were to talk about Jesus' birth. She asked him to come, but he refused.
"That story is nonsense!" he said. "Why would God lower Himself to come to Earth as a man? That's ridiculous!"
So she and the children left, and he stayed home. A while later, the winds grew stronger and the snow turned into a blizzard. As the man looked out the window, all he saw was a blinding snowstorm. He sat down to relax before the fire for the evening. Then he heard a loud thump. Something had hit the window. He looked out, but couldn't see more than a few feet. When the snow let up a little, he ventured outside to see what could have been beating on his window.
In the field near his house he saw a flock of wild geese. Apparently they had been flying south for the winter when they got caught in the snowstorm and couldn't go on. They were lost and stranded on his farm, with no food or shelter. They just flapped their wings and flew around the field in low circles, blindly and aimlessly. A couple of them had flown into his window, it seemed.
The man felt sorry for the geese and wanted to help them. The barn would be a great place for them to stay, he thought. It's warm and safe; surely they could spend the night and wait out the storm. So he walked over to the barn and opened the doors wide, then watched and waited, hoping they would notice the open barn and go inside.
But the geese just fluttered around aimlessly and didn't seem to notice the barn or realize what it could mean for them. The man tried to get their attention, but that just seemed to scare them, and they moved further away. He went into the house and came with some bread, broke it up, and made a bread crumb trail leading to the barn. They still didn't catch on.
Now he was getting frustrated. He got behind them and tried to shoo them toward the barn, but they only got more scared and scattered in every direction except toward the barn. Nothing he did could get them to go into the barn where they would be warm and safe.
"Why don't they follow me?" he exclaimed. "Can't they see this is the only place where they can survive the storm?"
He thought for a moment and realized that they just wouldn't follow a human. "If only I were a goose, then I could save them," he said out loud. Then he had an idea. He went into barn, got one of his own geese, and carried it in his arms as he circled around behind the flock of wild geese.
He then released it. His goose flew through the flock and straight into the barn - and one-by-one, the other geese followed it to safety.
He stood silently for a moment as the words he had spoken a few minutes earlier replayed in his mind: "If only I were a goose, then I could save them!" Then he thought about what he had said to his wife earlier. "Why would God want to be like us? That's ridiculous!"
Suddenly it all made sense. That is what God had done. We were like the geese - blind, lost, perishing. God had His Son become like us so He could show us the way and save us.
As the winds and blinding snow died down, his soul became quiet and pondered this wonderful thought. Suddenly he understood why Christ had come. Years of doubt and disbelief vanished with the passing storm. He fell to his knees in the snow, and prayed his first prayer:
"Thank You, God, for coming in human form to get me out of the storm!"
We are the reason
As little children
We would dream of Christmas morn
'Of all the gifts and toys
We knew we'd find
But we never realized
A baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives
We were the reason
That He gave His life
We were the reason
That He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
As the years went by
We learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves
And what that means
On a dark and cloudy day
A man hung crying in the rain
All because of love, all because of love
I've finally found the reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that I do, every word that I say
I'll be giving my all just for HimFor Him...
We are the reason
That He gave His life
We are the reason
That He suffered and died
To a world that was lostHe gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
He is my reason to live

累
我想了很久都不知道該怎樣寫或者該不該寫才好. 如過不寫, 放在心理也蠻難受的. 所以還是寫一點吧. 今天本來很好心情的, 不過為了一點小事情就破壞我的好心情了. 我不會說是誰, 也不要誤會. 不是男生. 只是覺的人,是很難去了解的.
為甚麼每次都要我開口先了? 又不是我的錯. 這次我不里, 不要說話就不要說嗎. 我很累了.
好了, 寫到這里就算啦. 我的話語太差勁了. 越寫越錯. ;(
晚安.

我懷念的
已經沒見他一個星期多了. 知道他最近很忙不過來. 看到他每次做到醬夜,感覺有點心疼. 有時后會留一段短訊支持他, 鼓勵他一下. 無論如何, 還是希望他工作順利.
真的很懷念以前的日子. 想起我們一起趕project的時後, 一起吃飯, 一起聊天. 現在他越來越忙了. 不知道甚麼時後才可以約在一起吃飯, catch up 一下呢?

First Service for my MYVI
Woke up at 7am this morning and sent my car to Perodua Service Centre at Sect 19. Luckily I’m early cuz it’s really a lot of people service their car at this time. I was wondering what am I got to do here while waiting for my car. I brought my laptop along just in case they have wi-fi here then I don’t mind to wait.
True enough when I stepped into the reception, a lot of things has changed. I think the last time that I visited this service centre was 6 years ago. The waiting area now is so advance, so neat & organized. Of course they have wi-fi, you can make your own drinks, can watch TV and they even have kid’s corner area. And the customer service personnel were very friendly and helpful.
I finished my service just an hour. It so great! I remembered the last service I came, I waited for 4 hours. Total service cost me RM230. Quite expensive tho but the technician said usually first service is that expensive. The next service will be much cheaper.
Anyway, it’s ok, as long as my baby (my car) gets the good service. :-)

The Appraisal (10.11.08)
My boss has invited me to attend the appraisal for the management trainee. Inside my boss’s room, she also invited another department manager as the management trainee report to her and sometimes me. I wonder if I were the management trainee, I would be scared to death. Is 3 against 1!!.
This appraisal took us 1 ½ hours to finished. The appraisal for this management trainee was not that good. We as her superior/mentor need to tell her the truth on her working performance in order for her to improve and excel in the future. We understand this is her first job and she needs to go through the working environment in a distributor company is not easy. Even for myself who had experienced in working, in my current company now, I have cried twice! I felt so pressure and stress working in this company that I have gave up twice too. But I thanked God for my boss who appreciated me so much that she didn’t want to lose me. In order to retain me, she thinks of other port-folio for me to explore. I’m so blessed to have such supportive and understanding boss. I always tell my friends and colleagues that my boss is the only reason that I want to stay and worked for her. She is such a humble boss to me and to her staff. I do not know why still some of my colleagues (or the reps) don’t like her. I understand she is a very analytical person but to me it’s good. I have learned so much from her in analyzing the data or reports (and eventually became an analyzer) and it’s quite interesting when you found out something from analyzing. Haha..
Anyway, this is not the main topic. Let’s get back to the appraisal’s story. Towards the end of the appraisal, she cried when the department manager asked her if she is too fierce. She didn’t say yes but her tears answered all. I know the department manager also feel sad and thought the reason the mgmt trainee cannot progress well is because of her. I tried to comfort the dept manager and also to tell the mgmt trainee that she has a wrong perception on this dept manager. I worked with this dept manager before and I know her working style. She wants things to get done as per agreed deadline. The reason she got angry I think is because the things couldn’t get done and the person who in-charge doing it kept quiet. I think this is not a good working attitude and that’s why she got frustrated.
Of course the dept manager also explained to the mgmt trainee on her expectation and frustration. In the end, she also shared with us her problems (the reps who gave her hectic), got accused by principal/customer. To my surprised, her tears rolling down as she shared. I have not seen such a tough lady like her would cry in front of us. My boss & I were stunned. I don’t know what to say/comment. It was my first experience of watching two ladies crying during appraisal. Phew… after hearing their sharing, looking at my own work problems, it is like nothing. I’ve learned to appreciate what I’m doing and complaint less.

My 2nd Mission - Gym (10.11.08)
I have always wanted to take dancing class as I really like dancing. So one day Calista & I were looking for real dance class somewhere in PJ but couldn't find one. So we thought why not signing up for gym. They have dance classes too and offer different type of dances. And there we go, signing up as a membership with True Fitness. It almost 8 months and so far we only attended one time for the RPM (cycling class). The first experience was unforgettable for us as it is so extreme exhausted. From that class onwards, we felt lazy to go and starting to find reasons.
Until last night, Calista & I give ourselves a chance again to go for Body Jam. My friend told me that the instructor is very good in Body Jam. And true enough, we really enjoyed the dance so much. We even can’t wait for the next class. :-)

Quiet Time
Today I’m still not in the mood of talking or chatting online. Sometimes I felt it’s kind of wasting time spending the rest of my day in front of the laptop just browsing through facebook, friendster, chatting through msn, ym, playing online game or working. Is there none other thing that I can do?
One of my friends posted a link on his daily devotional using “Through the Bible Through the Year” in facebook. Suddenly it recalls me that I have that book too! I remembered I bought this book together with an empty book for us to journal down as we read the book.
I took out the books this morning and flip through what have I jot down previously. As I’m going through it, I felt so guilty and sorry to God. When I bought the book, I was so fire for God that I had my devotional time almost everyday and jot down all the points as I read through the bible. I wrote down my prayers & my views but I cannot believe, it only last me for one month and then I stopped reading it. I gave myself many reasons for not having quiet time with God, such as working, online, outing, etc.
I write blog and I read people’s blog as well. Most of the blog that I read were usually shared about struggles in their life, feeling depressed, hurt, lonely, hopeless and so forth. I felt very pity for them and I have the urge for sharing Christ with them too. Life with God is so great and even if we go through crisis, we will still praise God. I understand as a human being, we definitely have emotion. And do you know emotion can actually blind us? We must get rid of these emotions and there is where we need God.
I am very thankful for my younger sister, Lacerena. She is the one who brought me to Christ. I came from a strong Buddhist family and I’m a very stubborn person. No one can force me to do anything if I don’t want to. Same goes to the religion. No matter how my sis shared with me on Christ, I just don’t want to listen. But because my relationship with my younger sisters was much closed, we always hang out & do things together.
One day Lacerena and I were invited by our colleague for a Christmas party. Although I’m not a Christian and does not know what Christmas is all about, when comes to party, who cares whether I’m a Christian or not, and I just agreed to go. The whole night spending time with those fellows Christian, I watched them. I just couldn’t describe what kind of joy they possessed? I have not seen people who are so joyful, so helpful and so friendly. I enjoyed so much that night.
From that night onwards, my colleague started to invite us to join their care/cell group. Fyi, cell group is a group where a few Christians (10-12 people) gather together once a week to fellowship with each other. Cell meetings may consist of a fellowship meal, communion, prayer, worship, sharing, bible study and discussion.
I joined the cell meeting a few times and finally accepted Christ after hearing one of the touching testimonies from a friend. I was still in doubt after accepting Christ and thinking if I have made a right decision? What happened if my family knows about it? What about my current religion? I felt like I have betrayed my God!
I shared this with Lacerena and she told me not to worry about all these things. Start reading bible and talk to God. If you are still not ready to become a Christian, God will not get angry. He will wait for you. I felt peace when I heard that. Thinking of “wah, your God so good wan ah, I accepted Christ and then don’t want to be Christian also God will not get angry?” Kind of flexible I talked to myself.
So I started reading bible and pray to God. With the help of the cell meetings, I got to know more about God & Jesus. I felt the relationship between me and God is getting closer. Can you believe it? A relationship with God??!! Wow, it’s so cool.
A lot of people don’t understand Christianity. They would think Christianity is boring and restricted by all kinds of rules. It is not!! Christianity is not a religion but a relationship. I did not have this kind of relationship when I was a Buddhist. But when I became a Christian, I know my purpose of life here. Somehow, God has changed my life.
I could not imagine what would I be if I’m not a Christian? I guess, I would be a rebellion child staying out from the family. Whenever I am down or feeling of giving up, I know God is always there for me. He will bring me back to Him when I’m lost.
I have wasted so much of my time this year. I hope it is not too late to get back to God again. I need to plan my time properly especially my quiet time with God.
Till then, it’s Sunday. I pray that everyone would have a great week ahead.

Promises
Today I felt quite moody, doesn’t want to talk much. I don’t know why, maybe something that has been planned did not work out. Feeling of disappointed but it’s okay. I have already used to this kind of feeling. It’s always like that, hoping and eventually disappointed. It has somehow makes me don’t dare to hope anymore because I scared of disappointment again and again. Although I know I may be disappointed if things don’t work out, I still hope and looking forward. Human nature..sigh.. Perhaps I should hope only 40% so I won’t feel that hurt in the end. Haha…
Nowadays it’s so hard to find someone who can keep their promise. I mean even for myself. A lot of time I got so angry with someone who can’t fulfill what they have said or promise. It’s so simple, make a clear statement. Once you say “ok” or “yes” then it is an agreement between you and the other party and you should fulfill what you have said. If you are not sure, say you are not sure and provide alternative solution if possible or just said “No”.
I met a lot of these people (especially sales person whom I worked with) who said can do can do..but then nothing happen. My sis told me those sales people are born to be like that. They always talked nice just to make you feel happy or another word, just to shut your mouth. Well, I really don’t agree. Whether you are sales person or not, you should be responsible of every word you said to the customer or friends. This is how people can put their trust in you.
Of course, people are not perfect. I must confess that I am one of it among the sales person. I have made a lot promises to God but I can’t fulfill it. I know I have disappointed God so many times and yet, He still love me. Shouldn’t I learn from Him, my big hearted God who forgave every sinner? Why am I still holding the grudge then? If I myself cannot do what I’ve promised, then I should have no right to complain about others.
Alright alright…that’s it. I should let go. It’s time for me to list down the promises that I’ve made to God and fulfill it one by one. ;)
Have a wonderful & blessed weekend.

Another Promotion or New Port Folio??
My boss took me in to her room this morning and I thought what big thing has happened? She told me that she is thinking of restructuring where she needs someone to drive the sales management as well as someone to drive the principal care management for the department. She asked me to consider taking up this new portfolio as the leader of principal care management. There will be 2 supply chain executives under my supervision who will in-charged of the daily operation duties. While myself will be overseeing the execs and at the same time explore on some new projects or standardizing the current processes which can improve and bring benefit to the organization.
I was quite convinced with her approached & interested in this new venture and I'm prepared to give it a try. I believe this is a good moving path for me. Anyway, still need to wait for the confirmation from my boss and meanwhile, I can do some homework to brush up myself. As this new portfolio need to meet a lot of principals (potential and current), therefore, I better prepare myself in advance. Gambateh stephy!! ;)

Wei Wei's First Concert (2/11/08)
Here goes another event. It seems like last weekend was full of activities. Stock count followed by dinner with gu gu and attending Wei Wei's concert.. but it's fun. ;)
I thought I will not be able to make it to attend wei wei's concert but thank God, He make my wish come true. My second day of stock count ended at 1pm and wei wei's concert starts at 3pm. I still have time to have lunch with Calista and proceed to Sri KDU to watch my niece performance. Hooray!!!
The concert was very smooth and the kids were just so adorable. Watching at their dancing, I can't help but laugh until end of the concert. I loved children. They are naive, they are honest, they are worry less and they are cute. It makes me recall the time when I was a kindergarten teacher, I helped up the kids for the concert. It was a fantastic experience I would never forget. Being a teacher is always my ambition when I was a kid and I have fulfilled it. But it doesn't stop there, I will continue to be a teacher in the future, probably after I got married or when I grow older.

Stock Count & Birthday (1/11/08 - 2/11/08)
Initially I was very upset that I need to work on weekend for stock count. In the past, our stock count doesn’t end early. I remembered last year the 1st day of stock count, we worked until 9.30pm!! That was really a nightmare to everyone of us. But this time, to my surprised, the 1st day of stock count can end by 6pm!!! And we have also completed the recount on the same day!! All of us were so happy because usually the recount is always the next day.
The warehouse colleagues deserved thumbs up from the management. They really did a very good job in doing the housekeeping, otherwise we will not be able to finish that early.

Coincidently, I have 2 colleagues having their actual birthday on 1st Nov. I remembered last year's stock count also falls on 1st Nov. What a pity. This time we thought of giving them a surprised birthday celebration. I bought a cake (Chocolate Indulgence from Secret Recipe) for Nei Nei and other department bought a cake as well for aunty Luna. So we all sang birthday song to them and both of them were so touched. I felt happy too seeing them enjoying the cakes. :)

Coincidently, I have 2 colleagues having their actual birthday on 1st Nov. I remembered last year's stock count also falls on 1st Nov. What a pity. This time we thought of giving them a surprised birthday celebration. I bought a cake (Chocolate Indulgence from Secret Recipe) for Nei Nei and other department bought a cake as well for aunty Luna. So we all sang birthday song to them and both of them were so touched. I felt happy too seeing them enjoying the cakes. :)
My Aunties (Gu Gu) from Spore (31/10 - 2/11)
I finally got time to update my blog. ;)
It was quite a short period of gathering with gu gu cuz I need to work on weekend. We only meet up for dinners but at least I have spent the whole day with them on Friday. Good enough liao..
These aunts were the closest relatives to my dad so far. I don't know why last time I don't have good impression on them but I think the more I get close to them, our relationship is getting better. They are quite funny actually. Man gu likes to talk and she can really talk non-stop. Sam gu is more quiet person. Both of them always travel together and I'm actually quite envy of them. I wonder when my sisters and I grow old, will we be like them, travel around together?

Tired and Sleepy
Woke up at 6.30am today, rushing to fetch my 2 aunties from KL Sentral. Then bring them out for breakfast at PJ and send my sis off to work at Uptown. Then go back to Sg Buloh and I'm now very tired and sleepy. Gonna take a nap now and later bring my aunties out to One Utama for a walk and then fetch my sis back to Sg Buloh.
Phew...there goes my one day leave.. being a driver.. but it's okay.. i enjoyed driving my new car.. hehe...
Thinking of stock count tomorrow and Sunday... sigh...
Let's don't think about that.. pray that everything goes smooth and can go back early.. Most important thing, God, pray that this time will have a very minimal variances in terms of value. Thank daddy God... :)

End of sales closing day
Finally, I can have a good rest now after month end sales closing today. It is always a hectic day for me towards end of the month. The supplier reps can really call in so many times to check on their order, delivery status and so forth. And I just don't understand why they are always so pushy and aggressive to want to know if their orders managed to process or not during the last day of the month. Is it means that beginning of the month is like a honey moon for them but towards end of the month, everyone will be chasing for sales?
I mean, come on, as a sales person, first you will know the target that you need to achieve is and based on the target, you should you how much you need to hit per week. If every week you did check on how much you have hit, I'm sure towards month end, you would know how much more to hit your sales target, am I right to say that? This is just part of sales and I know you would say how about those orders under credit issue (exceed credit limit/overdue account) which the order could not be process.
Yes, there will be orders which not be able to process due to credit issue or out of stock. My point here is if you are the sales personnel, all these you should know before hand. Every sales person has their own list of customer to serve and that sales person should know his/her own customer's situation, whether the customer has any credit issue or not. If yes, then maybe you can try to convince the customer to settle the debts. And at the same time, should look for other customer which doesn't have credit issue and get a higher value order, so that it helps to achieve the sales number.
I'm not sure whether this is workable cuz I'm not a sales person and don't have any experience on that. But I think no harm to try, rather than keep on calling us to put last minute order or check order status. Sigh....

Back to blogspot...
It's going to be 3 months that I didn't update my blog. I couldn't believe it. I was so tie down with my work and ermmm...games too.. haha.. I just got no time to update my blog (yea..it’s an excuse). But I was quite influenced by one of my friend, Jason. He is really superb.. not only that he ensure that his blog is up to-date but at the same time, he can also update his another blog which is in mandarin version. I really salute him.
So, here I am now, back to blogspot.
During these 3 months, I guess 60% of my time has given to my friends and viwawa. Viwawa is the online game created by S’porean. One of my colleagues introduced to me of this website. I was so addicted to it ever since I joined in. I then intro to my sis & frens and most of them got addicted too especially my youngest sis & Kenny di di. We always play games together such as Big 2.5, Mahjong and Groword. It’s really fun.. You may check out this link www.viwawa.com
Alright, it’s quite late now.. time to bed. Am gonna stay one night at my elder sis house tomorrow cuz Calista need to work late for her event. And on Friday, I’m taking a day off to fetch my relative at KTM. They are my father’s sisters, coming here all the way from Spore to visit my dad. So must sacrifice my leave and take care of them. At the same time can take a good rest before the stock count day on this weekend. Sigh.. talking bout stock count, really feel lazy to work on Saturday and Sunday. I’m going to miss church again. L
Anyway, good night everyone and sweet dream!!

Hong Kong Trip..when will be my turn?? :(
My sis has just come back from Hong Kong. She took one week off for two places, Spore and Hong Kong. How I wish I can follow as well but I can't due to my tight schedule. She came back with all her fun stories and bought so much stuff back. The things there were cheap and nice. I also want to go already... I must save money now for my Hong Kong trip. The Disney's Land was so beautiful. But I'm happy also cuz my sis bought me souvenirs. Got accessories, got shoes, got blouse.. haha... so nice of them.

Finally..finished 40 episodes of HK drama
Yesterday was the last episode of the popular HK drama "Tong Sam Fung Bo" shown in Astro Wah Lai Toi. The last few episodes were really sad and touching and my tears just like the actress (Linda Chung), every time she cries, i cried. It was a very good drama and i see how the family members united to retain the family in one.
Now i can't wait to watch the similar drama as "Tong Sam Fung Bo", it is called "Kar Ho Yuet Yun"..starring the same actors and actress as Tong Sam Fung Bo. I like to watch those family drama cuz there's a lot of morals behind that we can learn from and apply. It was a very good show indeed. ;)

Alvin's Wedding - July 2008
The wedding was held at Cyberjaya and I’m glad one of my colleague willing to send us there. Otherwise, I will definitely have to learn to drive there. Very long journey tho. I was kind of excited to attend the wedding as my friend told me that the ceremony will be held at the garden and followed by dinner at the restaurant. I always dream to have my wedding in the garden as well..haha..and that’s why I was looking forward to see.
It was a very simple and nice ceremony. We sang hymm and the pastor gave a short msg and blessed the couple. Really happy for Alvin, finally he has grown up. Hmm…I wonder when is my turn.. :P

Another birthday celebration – MY BOSS (29/7/08)!!
Phew!! After my birthday, there goes another birthday celebration again for my boss. The plan was fully organized by me. :) I asked my colleague to in-charge to get a cake and myself in-charged to get a birthday card. I went to MPH and bought a big birthday animated card. I also personally bought a gift to my boss, Irene. This was my first time having this kind of arrangement for the past 4 years. I just thought I want to do something for my boss as a token of appreciation.
On her actual day, I get all the team to sign on the card and bring them in to Irene’s office to sing her a birthday song. She was so happy and thankful. I believe other colleagues who heard the singing would envy my boss. Well, she deserves it. She is really a wonderful boss I ever had. I wrote her a thank you card and with present. She just loved it and asks me not to waste money next time. I told her I wanted to because I really want to thank her for the support and guidance that she has given me all these years. :)

My Birthday Celebration (21/7/08)
Again, I have grown another year wiser. Yea, I’m 31 this year. Although every year I wished there will be someone special to celebrate with me, however, God said it is still not the time yet. Nevertheless, I still thank God for the friends and family members that God has given to me.
I had a very memorable birthday celebration this year. That day I feel like I’m a princess. I don’t need to do anything, I don’t need to drive and I don’t need to pay anything on that night. Kenny & Ah Yat came to fetch me and my sis. We went to our favorite hangout place, Outpost in Cineleisure. As usual we had our dinner and followed by board games. I was so happy and surprised when Hazel turned up. I thought she can’t make it when I ask her in the morning but eventually she came.
While waiting for dinner to be served, Kenny and Ah Yat told me that they going to buy movie tickets and they really took quite a while to come back. Until I need to ask the waitress to keep their food in the oven. Haha…
When they came back, they showed me the tickets and say it was a long queue. Actually I did suspect something already… probably they went to buy cake. Haha…
The movie starts at 12 midnight and we have a lot of time to hang around Outpost. While concentrating on my games, there I saw some lights… lights of candles. Gosh, it isn’t a cake, it’s Big Apple Donuts!!! That’s so sweet of them and good for me as I don’t really like cakes. They sang me birthday song and all the waiter and waitress also sang with them. I am really happy.
With that, I ended my celebration with the last program which is the midnight movie, “Red Cliff”. Although this movie cannot fight with the Kungfu Panda I watched, it's ok, something new to me anyway. ;)
It was indeed a beautiful outing hanging out with my beloved friends and I really want to thank Kenny & Ah Yat for the arrangement and planning. Thanks Bros!!!
