The working Engineer

Ah, I finally got online, courtesy of my brother's spare pc and the streamyx account dat we have at home. It's been a hectic week since coming back from the mission trip in Mentakab.

Firstly, I finally started work as an Engineer, albeit a trainee Engineer in the repair center here with SEL Telecommunications, Puchong (SEL = Stuttgart Elektrik erm..forgot dy, heheehe). It's pretty tough as work is from 8am - 5pm dailly. Find myself lying in bed trying to fall asleep (and trying to dream I'm on a dream holiday lying on the beach in Hawaii with a good book in my hands or skiing in Switzerland with a helicopter filming my greatest stunts *grin*)

There's not much to do here except learn about testing & learning to fix PCB boards, screwing and unscrewing items & some minor field work. Every 2 hours or so we talk and joke around a bit (though the jokes my colleagues crack are usually hamsap jokes, haihhh~ Dat happens when everyone working there are guys *sigh*).

One good thing though. We had company dinner at Kelana Jaya Seafood Center on my 2nd day at work (and it was free! Heh)

---------------------------------------------------------------
Secondly, was a bit discouraged on the state of the church since coming back from the mission trip. There's so much more we can do, so much more we can achieve, so much more than just doing church on Sundays. And the thought has been going on for sometime oredy.

There were times recently dat I felt like quitting, giving up and letting go, and just moving on to some other church where it's easier. Where people are more gung ho and want to do something more. Where the fellowship between members are closer. I just dunno at times...

But I guess every church would have it's weaknesses and strengths. It's been a great 1 and a half years in church, where I've grown much in confidence, personality and even maturity. Where the people are loving and accepting to my faults, my weaknesses and my crappiness. (Ah, Jeff is more crappy than me! hehehe)

But coming back, I just dunno why, but I felt it's time for us to take the next step up in faith and commitment to start something new and to help grow the church. And coming back, it was pleasant to find the church expanded with a 2nd floor and all.

We might be starting a Youth ministry soon. And I might get involved in the drugs rehablitation ministry as well. Everything is still under discussion. But, there is a genuine need for a church in the area to meet the needs of the secondary school kids. I pray that the church is our church.

Guess dat's all. Do keep us in your prayers. God Bless~

p/s: Will update on mission trip and post photos by Friday night, hopefully *smile*
