1)In my opinion, a must read for singles! Don't laugh! =P (Book cover might be different, same title) Read a few pages of it and I was surprised at how courtship works and how it should be! God's way. Awesome stuff!
2)A hot item on the wishlist for an independent college student! =P
Today at work... Someone said: "Ahh you're back from break. Ok, happy working!"
Ugh.. You gotta be kidding me. Where's the happy in working like the happy in happy meals? ______________________________________________________________________________________
Is it just me, or does the guy in blue looks so much like a western Danial Fahmi? Hmm..
Moving on!
Got an opportunity to meet EVEN MORE new contacts. A whole stream of young entrepreneurs Malaysia has to offer. Haha! Exciting it's gonna be!
CARECELL LAUNCHES IN 2 WEEKS!
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!
A song to commemorate the season with! Dedicated to the team!
Ok its really late for me to update my blog at this hour but it's only one of the few chances I can update my blog! Shift ended earlier at 11.00pm and I rarely get the luxury of having to use the net as much because of that. But on the sunny side of things, it's just 18 MORE DAYS! Did I say 18 more days? Yeah. 18 MORE DAYS!!
**possible outcome at work tomorrow**
Scenario 1:
A1: Hi Ben! how are you? Ben: 18 MORE DAYS!
Scenario 2:
A2: Es-Stuffing! Ben: ... 18 MORE DAYS!
Scenario 3:
*Goes into the food court*
A3: Hi boss, nasi satu?
Ben: 18 MORE DAYS!... ...
A3: ...
Ben: ... ... Ya, satu nasi. Makan sini.
Now last saturday was just awesome! Got to sing and play the guitar to "Happy Day" as part of the worship team assignment and wow it was a real first time surprising experience! Haha. Having to pick up the guitar after months and months not playing it, getting to practice only a day before the performance and what not, the nervous gut feeling of it all that I always seem to have. Haha.
One of the songs we sang for PnW that I really love a lot is "Arise". (which I'll post the video of the song at the bottom of the post) Theres this excitement and power that goes along with it that simply echoes: This is OUR time! This is it! We CAN because theres a GREATER power working through us! We CAN achieve our dreams. It's such a power-packed song. Kudos worship team! =)
Also, I just can't thank God enough for what He has done in just these past two months alone! First, my mum just got saved!! Talk about God's promises!“Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved, you and your household.” -Acts 16:31.
I remember that period of time before my mum came down to KL, I was praying and declaring for just that to happen. Proclaiming the promise of that verse, going in spiritual warfare and claiming salvation over her life. And it happened! Once again, God showed me just how He can do. I remember someone prophesying/praying that in my 20's my mum will be saved, so I hanged on to that. What I overlooked was the fact that..
My God is too big to be limited.
Not only that, a friend of mine from Italiannies came with me to Church last Sunday and his story is even more jaw-dropping. Haha. It started out with me inviting another guy, an oikos over to Church to just see how it is. He didn't look pretty keen about it but the other guy overheard my conversation and just out of the blues he asked "Can I come?". That morning, I was suppose to meet him up somewhere so he can tag behind me to Church. However he overslept and when I called he rushed. Moments later he called telling me his motorcycle was taken by his dad and he left early. So he had no means of transport. That's what I thought, till he mentioned "I'll take a taxi and come". Surprisingly, I thought people would just stop and sleep through after not having any means of transport to come! Cut the long story short, he enjoyed, love the service, told me he didn't want to miss a week of it, accepted Jesus and plan to invite his business downlines and dad to come! AMAZING. I remember, also, praying and declaring and just seeing the picture in my head of him getting saved.
I can't even mutter a single word to express how AWESOME this God I serve is. MAN..! God, you're incredible, and I love you.
And now, I have in my heart something big I want to do, which I'm believing once again, He will not fail to show and prove Himself in. =) God, I believe.
If theres one situation where I always find myself bumping into is having the honor and privilege + torture to teach someone english. Especially people who weren't brought up speaking english, and also who happens to come from a country that doesn't have english as their primary language. Not that it's a bad thing! Haha! But it recently got me wondering, I'm not THAT patient when it comes to teaching a language, nor am I that passionate about it, so what's the factor that's been attracting these kinda teaching-to-speak conversations?:
(Vietnamese people can't seem to get the "s" sound right)
Me: Business. Bis Ness.
B: Big snake Me: No not big snake. Bis Ness. BIZzzz.. Nessss...
B: Bissssss..... Me: Yes.. Yes.! Go on
B: Sneg!
Me: ... ... Let's try it again..
OR
(Bangladeshis however have a similar prob!)
Me: Stuffing.
A: Es-stuffing.
Me: No no, no "es". stuffing!
A: Es-stuffing.
Me: No "es"! sttttuffing.
A: Stuffing! Stuffing!
Me: Ahh! Yes!
**Next day**
A: Es-stuffing?
Me: Stuffing.
Gotta love these moments. Somehow whenever I look at these people, I just see and picture an image in the future where they will speak fluently and we can all laugh at these moments where the mistakes are made...
*Long pause*
Thinking about the immeasurable patience, love, grace and mercy God has and His passion to prosper and make me great.. And you know what..
Nothing compares to that! ;) Alright bigs sneg and es-stuffing, bring it on!!
Yup that's right, I'm currently doing my Industrial Training and none other than Italiannies!!
The image that comes to mind at the mention of the name is usually a cool awesome place to eat and lepak with your friends and all when you have the cash. The food there is also great and the portion is just magnifico!
That's what I thought of it too.. Till I started working there. LOL.
Yeah it's just 7 WEEKS but it feels like I'm wasting the whole month and a half just working and earning not even 1k!! Makes me reminisce the days where I was happily working in Church overnight, overtime and overly blessed. =P Ok la fine, I didn't actually took it and appreciate it that way back then. =P
It's a different field to play in altogether. Working from 12pm-10pm everyday including the weekends. Spending hours upon hours just cutting up stuff, cooking, burning, preparing, garnishing when I could've used the exact amount of time doing something way more important.. Watching Desperate Housewives- NOT.
Theres a not-so-willing-to-work side of me with a thought the whole time thinking to myself "God! Thank you that I'm meant for better and greater things and I don't have to spend my entire lift behind hot counters!"
I'm meant for more! And not in some Italian solitary confinement! =P
I took out the recording of a prophecy given to me by Ps. Cheah and as I listened to it again, hearing that spoken word and promise from God, I was again convinced..
I'm in for an unspeakably GREAT future ahead.
For the past half year of 2010 the whole journey and experience of it all has been unlike any other. I am simply awestruck and bewildered by the favor, the grace, the opportunities, the orchestrated events, the people and the very core of God's power that's working in me.
It's not something of the ordinary nor is it something that happens everyday like common sunshine!
The way I've done things, speak, lead, act and think have changed which results in me having one of the best years of my life. And don't be surprised when I tell you that all these things are caught and learnt in Church. What can I say? I soar with the best flock around! =D
Yeah there was a time when I was encouraged to move to another house because I got robbed and lost my iPod touch, HP Laptop and a Nikon D60. Just to find that months later I got an iPhone 3Gs, Asus laptop(way better) and a Nikon D5000.
What about your family still living in average, you ask? Well not anymore! Goodbye thousands and hello millions! No joke!
Ben you speak too much but I don't see you walk the talk. Oh, you wait. Wait till you see the billions I'm going to earn and be able to sow into God's kingdom, the nations I'm going to bring out of poverty and the kingdom of God that God's going to establish through me in nations with not even 5% believers! You read and get inspired by people in the past who've done great things but just wait, you ain't seen nothing yet, GREATER things have yet to come. So you keep your eyes on me and I'll give you something to be inspired by. Haha.
What I'm saying here is not bragging nor is it pride. It comes from knowing who I am and what I'm meant for. These things, blessings and supernaturally "wow" moments of my life came through me agreeing with what God says about my life. You start saying NO to poverty, pain, disappointments, curses, sicknesses and YES to healing, greatness, favor and abundance and see what happens for yourself for goodness sake! =P
You might catch this habit I have but whenever I spend time with someone as an individual I would often like to ask about their dreams, know their plans for the future and just get to know them better through that. The connection, the unique factor, the plan. It's exciting!
Why? Because at the same time I can already picture and see an image of you victoriously achieving that dream of yours, resulting the world a better place. =)
