My dad used to tell me that if it's concerning the matters of the heart, even he can't help me. (maybe he never heard of advice) or just did not know how to help. He wasn't even there most parts of our growing up anyway.
I guess I have a lot of searching to do.
Its Back to The Island
Life isn't too bad without my handphone. I left it by mistake by leaving it in Hilda's bag and forgetting to get it back when I sent her back home. I wonder how many others face the predicament of forgetfulness and carelessness. I've been reprimanded so many times for leaving my stuff around - some returned while some were lost for good. Any good advice? (No, tying my belongings around my neck does not constitute good advice)
I'll be flying back to KK this coming Thursday and will be spending a wonderful week back home before starting work at my new place here in KL. I will be great to see family again and to see old friends again.
Here's an interesting article I found over at christianitytoday.com. Its about 'Gutsy Guilt'
http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2007/october/38.72.html
I've always been the one with dreams and hopes of making a change and impact wherever I am. and I came an interesting blog about being an activist/environmentalist - No it does not mean I will be picketing but it does mean getting informed and taking initiative.
http://thelazyenvironmentalist.blogspot.com/ - Mainly issues in Britain but nothing that cant be that irrelevant to us.
Cheers guys - listen closely for that initiative coming near you.
God bless

Somehow, Finally.
It has been a whole 8 months now in KL and most things still don't make sense but I thank God for Him. Without whom I would have most probably drowned in sorrow (pathetic isn't it). I read in a book by John Bevere that if you find yourself in a season of being in the desert - seek to know God and not new purposes or direction.
That particular statement hit me like a truck and I realized that I had made 'purpose' or 'good things' the focal point of my attention - the signs of a first love lost. Bitterness set in, skepticism crept in and confusion made its home.
I made the choice to stop trying to make sense out of things and trusted in Him for a change. Yes, somehow we profess we trust God but do we really? I'll leave that to you to work it out in a practical sense :P I slowly began to remember how it was in the 'early' days - when I stuck bible verses all over my room, when I was so hungry for Him., when I was so eager to serve even out of inconvenience - I used to take a bus at 6am in the morning to get to church.
Call me slow but know the creator and you will know purpose. Took me awhile to internalize it. Things are getting much better now. Praise God for His provision and for going all out to get this particular one back. Undeserving but saved nonetheless.
Jer 29:1 - ''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 a hope and a future''. And this was said to the exiles of Jerusalem in Babylon. My circumstances are better still.
I'm yelling it out - I'm Christian :)
Another update - I've been accepted as a Risk Surveyor at a general insurer company called Royal And Sun Alliance. To start Nov 1st or 5th. Excited about the job. Will be getting a laptop and a digital camero too! For work purposes of course :)
Cheers and God bless
