The Power of Significance

"The purpose of life is not to be happy. It's to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived well." - John C.Maxwell: The Power of Significance

You can be happy but not useful; If what you're doing is useful, it will lead you to happiness; It doesn't ask us to be unhappy. But being happy shouldn't be the main purpose of life. 

For example, some people just want to have sufficient food, a job, extra money for shopping, that's all. Their whole lives are just about themselves, maybe extend a little bit to what their family need. Most of the time they do things that are not important but definitely bring them joy.

Being useful can be defined as what are your contributions to your family, company, society and country. If one day you're not alive anymore, will people miss your presence? Or will your absence means no difference to them?

If you choose to contribute to your family, company, society and country, no matter how you do that, as long as you're doing something good for their sake, you're being useful and the things that you do make things better, you'll be happy because you know it's fulfilling. Else your whole life will be wasted doing nothing.

And before you die, will you wish that you can make a different choice and achieve something different when you have the chance to? I bet I will.

To be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived well, will take another post to elaborate, But meanwhile, just to be useful alone need a lot of thinking. 

There's always a purpose in living. 

Psalm 57:2 says, "I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me." 
This is key in understanding God's purpose for our lives. God has numbered our days and will fulfill every purpose He has for us.

Productivity

2nd month of MCO has just passed. Well, not the whole 2nd month. But as at 30th of April, it has been a 44 days of MCO.

Throughout this 44 days, what have I done?

Basically thanks to my nature of job, and my boss of course, there’s no excuse for me to stop whatever I’m doing. First of all, we can always work from home, especially when we don’t have appointments. Second of all, my boss is 24/7 available to push us to keep going and never slow down.

In the beginning we were all excited to have “holidays”, so when we need to attend 2 meetings a day (book session in the afternoon daily including weekends and case studies at night, yes at night!) we struggled so much. After a month, we have gotten used to the habit.

But just one Sunday of no book session, our habits fall all over the place again haha.

Looking back, even though it’s MCO, but I’ve learnt a lot. From learning to cold call customers (we usually cold call property agents, hardly customers), to learning how to create videos with InVideo, analysing books and studying Douyin videos (books are not meant to be read, but analyse and apply on your own situation, while Douyin videos are all about business models that the Chinese are using), to training our brains on how to think and not focusing on doing only.

Not to mention, on what you will do, if companies around are closing down, and even the banking sector might not be able to survive, at least not our mortgage segment. So many things to learn, which are not foreseen by most of us. Our parents say that even the 513 incident is not even close to what’s going on right now.

For myself, I spent most of my me time reading. I’ve read The Girl with Seven Names: A North Korean Defector’s Story, and currently reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. First book is based on true story of a North Korean girl who had to change names several times to escape North Korea. You can’t imagine an 18 year old girl having to face so many challenges ahead. Her journey to freedom is so risky it can just take her life and her family’s lives anytime, but again and again, she met someone who’s kind enough to assist her. Now that she had finally achieved her freedom in USA. And she’s not the only one who escaped from North Korea. 

The 2nd book though not a real story, was said to be aspired by the true story of Elizabeth Taylor. It brings you to understand what a glamorous life that a Hollywood actress is living. And many of the true stories are not surfaced to the public. So it’s quite an interesting read, even though it’s fiction. Though I believe it does happens to a lot of celebrities in real life. 

Of course other than reading during me-time, I also read Christian books and books related to my job. Mostly on sales. It’s interesting to apply the Christian ways on my career. Sometimes I feel what I’ve read or what I’ve taught is towards the extreme way whereby life is not always, and not all about money and being successful. So I need to relate back the Christian way to make it balance back.

Other than reading, I also tried to make mango smoothie and scrambled egg! Mango smoothie was ok, but the scrambled egg, hmm, something weird but couldn’t figure out what’s weird. Hahaha.

Also I wanna try to learn more in shares investment, but seeing the ups and downs candles, so technical I just couldn’t understand how they really function. And those free seminars in FB.. I also couldn’t analyses who is really professional or only know how to blowwwww. Haha.

If one day MCO is really lifted up for good, I’ll be lazy to drive out already. From being ok staying at home, to the phase where I think I can go crazy, until now, getting lazy to go out. What’s the new norm? Everyone can stay at home because not everyone can fly already. 😅

I’m considered very blessed that I still have a job, and companies are still finding for ways to keep business running. Even if one day, come to worse, banking sector has huge changes that stop us from finding sales, I believe that with the skills we have learnt, we still can survive. But for those whose companies are considering shutting down, or even already closed down, I really do not know how are they are going to survive without income, now that demand is more than supply in terms of employment.

But no matter what happens..we always have hope everyday.

Jeremiah 29:11

11 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.

Words

These 2 months are a roller coaster for me. Not related to my career, God has somewhat helps me to stabilise my job to face another challenge.

The “do not judge” challenge.

It all started when my colleagues knew that I was away during CNY, not accompanying my parents but I went to Husky’s hometown instead. They were shocked. Like, really. They made a huge fuss until I felt 莫名其妙 and 委屈 at the same time. What in the world are you guys thinking?

I tried to explain, but it made things worse. I felt so, so terrible that day. Other than being stress for work and used to be stress with my mum regarding my job, I’ve never felt this terrible before.

It’s like I was drowning, and nobody was there to rescue me. Things got worse when I was being lectured by my boss, and I was so disappointed till I had no emotions left.

I kept asking myself, the definition of being a good daughter. How does not spending CNY with my parents made me a bad daughter? So all the good things that I’ve done as a good daughter were instantly swept under the carpet and are not surfaced anymore?

I just felt so bad, so terrible. Having the pressure of being the only child in the family is stressful enough and I had to force myself to not overpressure myself, and yet this statement? Am I really a bad child for not spending CNY with my parents? Am I?

Besides the emotional side, my rational side also got me thinking: Have I ever judged other people when I do not know the whole story? The answer is yes.

One of God’s commandments is do not bear false witness. As humans, we often perceive what is on the surface. Those worldly eyes... when will we learn to see things the way God sees things?

After 2 weeks, I thought I had put this incident aside, until that day I just broke down and cried for more than an hour in front of Husky (poor him, see me cry almost every weekend ahahaha) and didn’t know the reason of crying. Until I stopped crying and realise that I didn’t let go of this incident at all. I was holding the grudge, the resentfulness inside me was so deep that it’s eating me up. I was angry, upset with my colleagues. I understand that they were concern over me, but their concern made me worse, and my boss being his usual self, did not ask for more details but had labelled me straight. I was disappointed because as a boss I had expected him to have more mature thinking by not judging, but...it’s him. So yeah.

I didn’t tell my mum about this incident until one day, she was sad over an old incident. Only I spilled it out to her, she said it was very ok for me to go to Husky’s hometown, and my colleagues were just not understanding because CNY to us is nothing, especially when my grandparents are not here anymore, and Christmas is more important in fact. Trust me, my CNY holidays are always so dull it looks like an extended weekend because I’ll be going to the places where I go usually during weekends.

I kept having this resentfulness towards one of my colleagues because I had told her not to tell my boss but she still insisted. I felt that she did not respect me as a colleague or even friend. Until that day I read Mark 11:25 - And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”

It’s so tired if you’re having this grudge onto someone. I hate that feeling so much, because it seems that no matter how good that person treats you, everything just seems so wrong. It seems like God is nudging me to have courage and talk to her bout this situation, because the following week we need to work together as a team. So I waited for the right opportunity, and I spilled how I felt to her, and she told me her opinion as well. 

Conclusion was, nobody is wrong in this picture, just that our directions are different, I wouldn’t want to force them to accept my situation, at the same time I wouldn’t like it if they use their ruler to measure my shirt, which they did. Lol ok that’s a direct translate from a Chinese proverb.

I still do make quick judgments/statements nowadays, but I’ve learnt to stop my thoughts quickly, and try to think in a different way. Sometimes I still need people to remind me, I still do. But I think that in this season of life, God wants me to learn on not judging people with my worldly eyes. And to offer as a listener and show compassion to people who are upset for being misunderstood. 

I always say this, and I still do: being a Christian is not easy at all. Especially when I’m still not walking the ways God wants us to walk, and I’m still not being able to show the love and compassion God wants us to show. Especially to Husky. How is he going to accept Christ when I'm not doing the right thing? With my bad explanations on certain things, sometimes he misunderstood Christianity but I’ve failed to let him see the clearer picture. 

Nevertheless, it’s a good lesson for me to guard my mouth and be wise with my words. And also I wouldn’t know that Husky is so protective to me that he wants to sort things out with my boss HAHA. Being someone who doesn’t like to trouble others, this is indeed a different side of him. 😝

“God wants you to know that sometimes God allows us to go through certain difficult times, even as a result of wicked actions by others. Yet whatever we have to endure, no matter how unfair or unjust , we can be sure that God will use it for good.”

WHY WHY WHY

After working here, it really forces me to think why.

A lot of things ain't that simple anymore after I think of the whys.

Even reading a book is not simple. Instead of reading to finish off the book, I'm now trained to analyse the keywords.

Back then (and now still) I'm like a programmed system. Whatever people ask me to do, I do. But the way I do is to tick off the checklist. Done, tick. Done, tick. Done, tick.

After a year plus a lot of people (mostly colleagues and bosses) told me not to fulfill tasks because they ask me to. I need to think deeply why I'm being asked to do that. But all I knew was just the surface, never the intention behind it.

Soon I realised that I'm also applying it in my daily life. Why this why that. And I analyse others as well. Though not very often, but I do sense that it is starting slowly to be involved in my life.

It isn't a simple thing, but when I have this habit, I'll tend not to judge people or step into conclusions easily. I will instead take time to understand the reason behind it, then only decide whether to disagree on it or not.

There are still a lot of gaps to fill in, hope to settle my basics by year end and start next year a new year!

学不会

还是学不会如何做人。

人与人的关系，还是拿捏不到。

太心软，会被人欺压；头脑太直，亦会得罪人。

这份工让我学到很多东西，我却未掌握最重要的技巧。

后来

后来，我学会了，不失望。

从前从前以为终于有了个突破，能向父母交代，我的选择没有错。可是那希望转变了失望，我记得我遗憾了好久。

然后机会多了，依然会有失望的时候。销售就想做生意一样，平时商场看到的产品与服务，不管是卖月饼还是卖拖把，大家都经历过被拒绝的经历。

最近也看到本地的一个企业家，4年前在他创造的公司退股后，问了他老婆一句话，如果他想要再创办新公司，她会同意吗？因为在还没成功之前可能他们的生活开销要比较谨慎去处理，不能时常去旅行，不能买名牌等。他的老婆只是讲了一句：我不需要那些东西，虽然那些是很有趣的东西。我只知道我嫁了给一个有上进心的人，你想做什么就去做吧，我和孩子会支持你。

踏出的那一步，也不知道未来是否会成功。只能一步一脚印，让拼图一块块地拼成一个图。可是如果不成功，整个lifestyle 就会被degrade。

Faith is when you believe the unseen.

圣经里的一句话，我却还是无法很踏实地相信。即使相信，也会动摇。动摇了，只能提醒自己，不管如何一定要往前进，没有退路。从以前回到家还是一直用电脑做工，到现在我能分配时间看电视陪家人，我觉得某些事情有进步了，亦有很多东西还是停留在原地，甚至是退步了。

待人处事，我还不会。我以为我有的是诚恳，可一旦到了关键的那一刻，我还是心虚了，我还是会因此而得罪别人。


从以前担心钱不知何时才会进入口袋，到现在看到了钱，看到了一点收获，我还是处于不安的状态。可这毕竟是学习的过程，只能让自己加速地学会。到最后怕的不是被淘汰，而是输给了时间。

只能希望在每个挫折当中，当作是为了更好的未来而做准备，每个成功当中铭记于胜利的关键点。

也只希望，后来的我不会后悔现在做的决定，后来的我可以告诉现在的自己，不要放弃，尽管看不清前面的路，我的转折点很可能就在前方的不远处。也要记得享受每个过程，毕竟生活是精彩的。

Mask

Often time I feel that I’m wearing mask all the time.

At work I need to be very careful with my words, being said by seniors that the words that came out from my mouth offends people a lot even though 99% of the time I don’t mean it. Left 1% is when I mean it but people don’t feel offended haha.

I just hate to think talking in a nicer way. I just want to express what I want to say. Too bad in the sales industry, you need to think how to say it the way people want to hear it. Then only people will trust you and build relationship with you.

At home I too need to be careful. When sales are good, I hide it as it’s not constant, trying to avoid my parents from setting a high expectation of me that I’m doing super good; when sales are bad I hide it because well... we all know it. So I’m trying to be as neutral as I can.

When I’m alone, I just want to do my things quietly. Watch tv, read a book.

Only when w Husky I can be myself. Though, I’m not that sure whether he’s 100% himself when he’s with me or not. Hahahahaha.

Nevertheless, this is life and all of us have a role to play. I’m constantly trying to improve myself on focus. Not to distract myself easily with WhatsApp messages unless it’s an urgent call.

Relationship Consultant

I don't know since when I've become a relationship consultant.

First is my customers who after signed everything, after a month said they want to divorce, cancel purchase. Then after my consultation, they okay back.

Then 2 of my colleagues ask me why their girls like this like that, and after my consultation they agreed with my analyse.

I'm like, hello, I do loans one, I don't manage people's relationship okay. My face got show that I'm so pro in relationships mea!

Discipline

This whole discipline thingy had make me gone crazy a bit here and there.


It's like, one needle see blood. That's a direct translation for self awareness. You know you gotta do something different, you know you gotta be more hardworking, enhance your strengths, overcome weaknesses, and when there's a problem arise, opinions from seniors leaders and boss will just appear in your head somewhere and you'll know what to do if you were them. But just that.....

But just that.


There's always this 'but just that' that crosses my mind and tell me to ignore their advices. The right way of doing things, the right solution to solve problems.

Whenever there's a negative enotion coming up, worries, doubts, insecure, I've come to a stage where other positive voices will auto appear and tell me to focus on solutions not problems. And this tiny voice behind my head will choose to lead the group and start ignoring those positive voices again.

This discipline thing really start to make me think deep, real deep, and sometimes it just make me breakdown a bit on what I really want and need.

When can I overcome my own voice and stop ignoring? When is this self awareness going to be big enough to take over my ignorance? I'm tired of avoiding problems, avoiding doing things that I hate to do which I know will bear fruit at the end.

But it really makes you think so deep, and you'll start wondering, are you going to love the life you're living for the rest of your life?

Faster on Track

I have the chance to handle 3 cases (going to 4) in the 2nd month of my job.

It didn't go well. At all!!

I was stuffed by so many information at one shot until I am also confused whether I'm the one who don't understand or customer is the one who doesn't understand.

And also I made a lot of mistakes, by not understanding customer well, by omission of information in calculation, by not doing my homework properly before I proceed.

Well, tons of mistakes!

And at the end of the day, I might not even get anything with these 4 cases.

But to think of it, because of these cases, I had no choice but to push myself to learn a lot of things faster than others. To be faster, to be better. And I even stress myself till I think of work even when I'm asleep!

Taking advantage of being a newbie is that people around me forgive me for my mistakes. When you're no longer a newbie, and you make mistakes, all you get is, work how long already? Still don't know how to settle mea? Hahahahaha.

Evernote has become my best buddy now. So much of information being stuffed into my brain, I need to release some of them out into Evernote to help me remember.

Again, having seniors saying that I catch up things fast, having good attitude in learning is not making me proud of myself anymore, because I got those compliments back in my 2nd company but look what had happened in the end? I didn't manage to succeed even with these qualities.

Therefore, stay calm and remain humble!

James 4:10
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

Hospitality

After reading Timothy Tiah's I WANTED TO BRING HOSPITALITY TO THE OFFICE. HERE’S WHAT I’VE LEARNED, I feel like this is really the type of service that we all want to have.

Especially when I have read through the 4th point which talks about allocating RM100 for each guest per day to make things more personal for the guests, such as buying food to cheer them up, or buying things that the guests are lacking of. And they have like 100 guests per day so makes it RM 100,000.00 per day!

Like wow! All accountants are sure to shake their heads, thinking no, no, we are not maximising our profits by doing this, in fact this expenditure is too large it cannot and should not be implemented.

I really hate it but.. I came from accounting background. HAHAHAHAHAHA SUCH AN IRONIC.

The truth is, by doing small things like this, you will gain long-term customers because you satisfy their needs. I've learned a lot of this when I was trying to build my online boutique business (Due to job changing. More updates on that soon!), that customers are more likely to come back and repurchase from you if you succeed in winning their hearts, i.e by giving them what they need or solving their problems.

This is so much important than cutting down expenses and maximising profit because you won't go far with it.

And with my current job (sorry I'm talking a bit bad about it haha) I find it very frustrating having so little amount of medical claim when the medical expenses nowadays are crazy. I would also need to reconsider of seeing the doctor if I'm sick on non-working days i.e Sunday or holidays as medical claims only can be done on working days. In long-term, I feel insecure with my job because I need to consider a lot of things and one of the most important thing when it comes to job security is medical. If I'm not healthy I would need to take MC and this will affect my work performance, which in turn affect the company operation.

It's the same as doing business as well. Caring for customers and meeting their satisfaction is far more important than maximising profits. Because it's not only the product itself that solves their problems, the trust and sincerity that the company gains play much important role in surviving the business long-term.

At the end it's not about money anymore. It's about relationships.


Let's hope my boss will be too busy to ever notice this post. Hahaha.

01.01.17

No last emo post for the last day of 2016.

No excited post for the first day of 2017.

Because all I feel is...contented.

Contented of what I'm having, even though I still argue with my Mum a lot, even though I still don't have much to talk with my Dad, even though my bf is not the tallest, richest and handsomest bf in the universe, even though my Nek is still thinner than me, even though my job doesn't give me the highest salary in the world, even though I'm still waiting for God to answer my some of my prayers.

But I know my Mum protects me, I know my Dad loves me, I know my bf cares for me, I know my Nek gets fatter already, I know I had learned so much in my company, and I know that I will get answers from God someday, just as I always have.


Turning from 21 to 22 is not a big deal because I still had exams in January back then, it doesn't change much as my status was still a student.

But then turning from 22 to 23 is a whole lot of big deal.

My status doesn't change, from an employee to... still an employee. Just a not so newbie employee anymore.

Usually they call those who are in their early 20s as young adult. And in few more years time, the 'young' word will be stripped off, no more young anymore. Officially adult. Getting-old adult.

*Cries*

Where did my youth go? Cannot la, must achieve more things when I'm still a young adult! But I always find myself standing at the same circle, going nowhere than where I'm always been.

Need to start achieving goals instead of making them. How to make new resolutions if the old ones are still stuck underneath somewhere?

Starting by using time well. I've made a planner to avoid myself from browsing too much FB or Instagram. :D

The key to success is to fully utilize our time and create more productivity. 

- Quote by Jasmine Ng -

Remember to jot it down and make it your life mantra. ;)


By the way, there wasn't much fireworks when the time reached 00:00. Spending too much in 2016, eh?

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. - Hebrews 11:6 -

Today

Today is another busy day.

My lady boss came over, so means we'll talk a lot with her, about work and also personal stuff (like what to eat for diet).

But before that, I need to introduce Jess here. Ah Ying had gone to pursue her degree in MMU, and Jess came in a month earlier to take over Ah Ying's role. Still bit kelam-kabut with what she should do, and what's worse is that when she asked me how to do this how to do that I told her I don't know because I wasn't involved with what Ah Ying did last time and it made Jess wanna cry.

Ahahahaha.

When Jess first came and introduced her name, I was like, oookkkaaaayyyyyyy because our names are so similar! People often call me with her name, and when they realised they called another person they will add a "Mint" behind Jess. Basically it becomes Jessmint. -.-

I was disappointed with myself terribly for some time, because I felt that after more than half year working here has caused many problems for my lady boss.

She's handling both her father's and husband's (my boss) company so since I'm hired in her husband's (my boss) company she should have lighter burden and can focus more on her father's company but in the end I give her more headaches.

And because my boss and her try to not scold their staff in office I end up feeling more guilty of the mistakes I had made.

Nevertheless I learned a lot. Just like today I learned how to do double entry for the purchase of a new vehicle. I did a draft and my lady boss amended my draft and made the whole paper a huge mess hahaha! Like a teacher correcting her student's homework and gave her a big red F hahahaah. Thanks to GST everyone in the business line needs to do extra stuff. -.-

Since my lady boss was in my office for almost whole day, me and Jess had a great conversation with her while doing our work. She shared the same table with me while using our respective laptops and I felt like she's my classmate in school. Ahahaha.

Nevertheless, I'll try my best to absorb as much as I can and to stop repeating mistakes!!!

The exciting thing that is coming: We'll be going to Hatyai for company trip next Saturday!!!!! Will be seeing Ah Ying again and I have a feeling that I won't get to sleep at night because of her and Jess. Muahahaha.

Other than work, I would also like to talk about Husky. He has been a great supporter whenever I have problems and I deeply appreciate him for listening and comforting. He sucks with comforting me when he's the one who makes me angry but if it's regarding other people and stuff then he's a good listener. Hehehehe.

I remember last year around this period we weren't having a steady relationship, a lot of doubts and tears and miscommunication. But lately I feel that we're getting there, to the point where we began to understand each other more and having lesser doubts. Sometimes I wake up having the feeling that I will not love other people as much as I love him.

He's still annoying, still wouldn't say nice things about me, still a kayu, but I know he loves me. :P

The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey - Closer

Ah Ying keeps on asking me to play this song through YouTube these two days so I kind of immune to it so I recommend it here. HAHAHA.



Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you
I drink too much and that's an issue
But I'm Ok
Hey, tell your friends it was nice to meet them
But I hope I never see them again

I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke down car
And four years, no calls
Now you're looking pretty in a hotel bar
And I, I, I, I, I can't stop
No, I, I, I, I, I can't stop

So baby pull me closer in the back seat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of that mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older

We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older

You, look as good as the day I met you
I forget just why I left you, I was insane
Stay, and play that Blink-182 song
That we beat to death in Tucson, OK

I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke down car
And four years, no call
Now I'm looking pretty in a hotel bar
And I, I, I, I, I can't stop
No, I, I, I, I, I can't stop

So baby pull me closer in the back seat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of that mattress that you stole

Chicken or Egg?

There's a theory that was summarised when I talked with Yatao Jiejie yesterday. Even with Husky it happens all the time.

This theory is that guys always expect girls to speak out when they are upset, hungry, angry, hangry etc and girls always expect guys to ask them what happen why you upset, hungry, angry, hangry or all of the above.

It's frustrating that when we as girls think that we show enough emotions but guys are too stupid to get the signals and guys feel annoyed that we want to play the guessing game. Hehehehe.


So the question goes back to:

What came first, the chicken or the egg?

In other words, should guys be more smart and sensitive to girls' emotions and/or silent treatment OR girls should speak up? Either parties are expecting each other to take the initiative in settling issues.

And the answer is...... none! Wait till one day the girls burst out their emotions then only their bfs know the consequences of neglecting their gfs' emotions.

THEN after realising the problems, the guys will learn how to be more sensitive and girls will learn to speak up.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA actually I have no idea what I'm writing here. xD

Husky is probably rolling his eyes if he reads this because just yesterday I asked him why didn't he share his chocolate cakes with me on that Sunday night, and he was like WHY YOU NEVER SAY YOU WANT TO EAT YOU SAY THEN I GIVE YOU EAT LA!

My respond was you know, I so pity looking at the chocolate cakes with eyes blink blink in hopes that you'll offer me the cakes but I waited and waited and you no ask me want to eat also and if you no ask me I where dare to tell you I want eat oh but supposed you must ask la since you know I like to eat cakes ice cream snowflakes blah blah blah blah how can you not ask HOW CAN YOU *sob sob*

So yeah, he was busy rolling his eyes so he still owes me dessert. Heh.


By the way, me and Yatao Jiejie also speak about whether we are the sticky gf type or independent ones. She's the independent one, which is not a good thing too because indirectly she no bf also can survive one. Aha.

So at night I asked Husky this question, and he immediately say You ah! Suka suka hati sticky! Suka suka hati don't want choi me!

I was laughing non stop when he said this, because he probably was rolling his eyes (again) while saying this. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Good ma, balanced ma. Too sticky then he cannot breathe, too independent then he breathe too much. xD

Few days ago Ah Ying also asked me this, just that she asked me about my bf. I said similar things, he got mood then sticky lor he no mood then he want jing jing lor.

Hahahahahahahaha.

Your Job

Received this email from Our Daily Bread Ministries, and though my job isn't that pressure (perhaps the biggest pressure is staring at Ah Ying because she got work to do and I got none haha), I find it very useful to be productive at work. Even if you don't have work, you'll eventually find out that you actually got work to do. HA. HA. So if I don't like my job, whether it's the current one or in future, I hope to remember this article and be motivated to work!

You can love it. You can hate it. You can find ways of getting it done or you can go to great lengths to avoid it. But whatever your attitude towards work is, one fact remains: we need to complete that task.

 

So the question is: Is it possible to find joy in our work—whatever that is? I would say yes even though it could be challenging at times, whether at home, in an office, in church or in a school.

 

As followers of Christ, we are called to do everything to the glory of God (Colossians 3:17). Our motivation for excelling in our job comes from knowing that we are serving God and not man. Apostle Paul reminds us: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving” (vv. 23-24).

 

Be assured therefore that if we seek to glorify God in our work—be it in big or small task—God is well pleased. His pleasure gives meaning and significance to our job—and helps us find joy in doing even the most menial task.

 

So the next time you feel dissatisfied at work, why not pause and remember that God is pleased with you when you seek to glorify Him at your work?

Blackmail? Where got.

So Ah Ying is very afraid of spiders.


I'm basically....not afraid of anything as long as they don't kacau me. And usually I don't kill spiders.

But for the sake of my ears with all the screaming, I had no choice but to kill the spider to have some peace.

But before that I was eating my bread. So slowly finished it, slowly took the roll of toilet tissue, slowly tear a piece out, slowly fold it into half then into quarters while doing a thing.

Which is looking at Ah Ying and listening to her saying things in a rush such as "I'LL PRAISE YOU IN FRONT OF BOSS AND LADY BOSS ASK THEM GIVE YOU A PANTRY LAAAAAAAAAAA"

Caps lock is to show how high pitch she was screaming.

Then I slowly say "Remember to add my salary."

"OKAY OKAY I'LL ASK THEM TO RAISE YOUR SALARY JUST KILL THE SPIDER PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

"Write something nice in Facebook first."

"Okay okay I post now I post now. I have a friend her name is Jasmine errr what else ah"

"Put my full name"

"Okay okay I have a friend her name is Jasmine Ng Suet Yen"

I was already on my way to kill the spider but it jumped up and I kept having troubles killing it. While the girl..well just kept shrieking "SEE I TOLD YOU TO KILL JUST NOW YOU DON'T WANT NOW IT'S COMING NEAR ME ALREADY AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!"

Boy oh boy.

In the end poor spider R.I.P.
