Food poisoned!

Been down and out from food poisoning since Christmas. The farnee thing is that, food poisoning isn't as glamorous as it sounds. And yea, the 2 days leave doesn't justify the bad stomach ache and on-off fever that comes with it (hah, I begin to make my sickness sound like the pushbuttons I sell, heheh. Now, where's the illuminated cough or the explosion resistant fever? Blah) Nevertheless, it's good to be able to rest, as I've been up and down Malaysia without fail these few weeks.

Gotta rest! Till laters!

The Johor trip and random thoughts

Was down in JB the last few days (Wed-Fri), and while it was exciting to drive around, try eating lunch & dinner yourself at McDs for 2 whole days and you'll know. Ah, at least I caught King Kong myself, heh



p/s: Did you know that Pan Pacific was the only hotel to offer internet access from the very comforts of your room? At the price of RM 1.90/minute though, heh.

Things I was pondering about the last few weeks:

Evangelism:
----------
Don't wanna sound like a zealot, but at times, I do think we have our ladder up the wrong side of the wall. True, money matters, and well, it's indeed foolish of some Christians to stay at dead end jobs, just because they feel it's their calling to be poor, hah. But have you seen a Christian who's both successful and yet serving God? Tough? yes. Impossible? Nah

But then again, if our lives just revolve around the church and church people, what chances do we have to reach out? Does Church work = God's work? Sometimes we just need a whack on the head to make us all awake.

Relationships:
-------------
I guess as an extrovert, relationships does matter a lot. And working in sales, I just don't have enough office hours time to really get to know my colleagues (hmm, means I'm spared the gossiping, heh), and thus I'm really grateful for opportunities to get to know others through I-bridge, insurance meetings, Toastmasters, cell group, and even Crossroadz.

You know, everytime I see some old people, I wonder if at that age, whether my life would have been a blessing, an impact to those around, or would I just have wasted mine away. Not easy, but I'm trying my best..

Mistakes:
--------
What would you do if you made a mistake, or even worse, mistakes. And to top it off, you didn't realise about it until much later on, when you begin to realise your friend isn't all chummy with you.

Would you, like the blur me, apologise profusely, hoping your apologies touch a chord within the person? Hmm, advice anyone?

Literary fair

Hi there! Just in case you guys are wondering what have I been up to, well, been reading after work (other than attending various meetings, forums, etc). Heh, it's not easy doing sales when all you know about sales is that thing that comes on every few months in some shopping complexes nationwide. Hmmph, sad huh?

Been reading these few books during my spare time, so do pardon the lack of literary action over here

Zig Ziglar's Secrets of Closing the Sale


The Sales Bible


Killing the Sale: The 10 Fatal Mistakes Salespeople Make and How to Avoid Them


Selling the Wheel: Choosing the Best Way to Sell for You, Your Company, and Your Customers

not forgetting..



And last but not least



Reading is good!
p/s: Books are up for the borrowing if you're interested ;) Just call alrite?

Spammers : Did DAP do this?

I've been getting a barrage of political (spam) statements on my blog recently. It makes me wonder whether issit just me or does it affect anyone else? Why are people still putting up stuff like below although I've put up a disclaimer? Do check out the writing below and tell me what you think?

'cool man said...

"The Malay Dilemma" revealing the weaknesses of malays. But did they do something to amend their weaknesses using the correct way, like work harder, compete equally etc?
They did with the fastest way, implementing unfair policies. How many of you all will agree that the policies are not benefiting the malays?
From the economy to the education system and to the society, all policies were meant to "close" their mind and body.
In Pak Lah announce that NEP will stay, as long as the gap between the poor and the rich exists. In a free economy, this will always be the case. How can the gap be narrowed if they do not work hard?
Just ask any economists how an economy works.
Let's assume that they are trying to perform transferring wealth to the poor in this way, it would be better to practice socialism or communism, where everything belongs to the country and no personal assets are allowed.
After 35 years of NEP, how has it benefited the country as a whole? No one benefited in the end except those in power.

and this
' oversee said...

First of all, are we (the non-malays, that is) really to believe that the government will abolish or tone down the New Economic Policy in the near future? We must be realistic, if you have the right to buy a property at a discount and have scholarships for your children, would you let go of these rights?
With Chinese population dwindling in Malaysia, what needs to be done depends on the Chinese themselves.
There is nothing wrong with the brain drain. In fact, we should encourage our children to move to Singapore, Taiwan, China etc. if we disagree with Malaysian government policies that are based on race and religion.
When it comes to the matter of the dwindling number of Chinese Malaysians, we should talk about quality, not quantity.
We should resolve why the Chinese-Malaysian population is reducing. Official figures have more than one million Chinese Malaysians emigrating over the past 25 years. Why did they emigrate? I am sure the government knows.
Straight A students can't get scholarships or university places. Nothing new, it is been that way for the past 35 years. Nowadays, even enlightened malay Malaysians are speaking up on this injustice. The MCA and Gerakan? Busy making money from private colleges.
What is so great about having TAR College or Utar which took more than 35 years of begging? Why should it be so difficult to set up an independent university when we have scores of public ones?
While we push young talented people away, other countries notably Singapore, the US and Australia welcome them with open arms.
Is it logical that we drive away our young talented ones and then invite retired Mat Sallehs to live here and exploit our low-cost of living?
Singapore's success in particular owes much to these ex-Malaysians or their descendants including Hon Sui Sen, Goh Keng Swee, Goh Chok Tong, just to name a few.
About 30 percent of top management in both Singapore's government and corporate sector are ex-Malaysians. We export them so that Singapore can compete with, and then whack us.
Korea and Taiwan, both way behind us in the 70s and 80s are now way ahead. Thailand is breathing down our necks.
Sadly, there is just no integrity in the nation's leadership.'


As for me, I have enough politics at home to last me a lifetime as my dad's really active in MCA. So, if you're the spammer, do keep far away from this blog. Or else we'll get the experts to track you down. Thanks!

p/s: Any political statements, even on the net could get you in trouble with ISA. It's not worth it. Ask Lim Kit Siang, he'll tell you so too.
p/s2: Oh yea, do check out this flyer before you go. It's a Christmas party for those who think they're young. Come join the fun alrite? ;)

Passage of rites

A lot has been happening recently. Firstly, I passed! (do I hear drumrolls anyone? Come on!) Will be applying for the transcript somewhere this week and then proudly frame it up on my walls, heh.



Been really busy recently, with activities from insurance meetings (and getting coaxed into joining by them GRO, oops, GSMs), bass lessons (commencing this Wednesday), Toastmasters (this Thursday) and even thinking of dropping by Sarah's cell group on a more regular basis on Friday nights. Add to this Crossroadz, worship practices, Hooked on Christmas practices, badminton and jogging and I'm booked day in, day out. Even dinner would have to be planned earlier ahead, sigh*



Work has been progressing great as feedback from customers has been really good. Probably due to my background in the F&B industry with Chili's no doubt. Even found myself getting lost in Salak South, Cheras and the likes. A testimony? I forgot I left my laptop at a coffeeshop until 20 minutes later! Praise God it's still there! (and those stall owners were keeping a eye on it lest someone else runs away with it. Where could you find such honest people around? Amazing huh?)

Before I forget, I would like to praise God for that exam, as even though I wasn't to sure about how to go about a certain question, I was very certain of the answers to put in. And I never felt so, how do I say it, assured before. It must have been due to all the prayers that were going about.


George Best passed away recently, while frittering away his money and talents on women, cars and booze. While walking past my gates home, I heard my neighbor, the 70 over years old Mr. Marsh celebrating his grandchild's birthday and then it reminded me about passage of rites.

And like the once macho Mr. Marsh (he was a lifeguard), we too someday would have to go through the very same passage of rites, the aging of skin, the whitening of hair and the heartbreak of seeing each and everyone we hold dear pass us by into another place.

Passage of rites, we might not feel it now that we're still young, vibrant and perhaps handsome (like *ehem, who else lar?), but when will we stop and look at our lives and see whether we're making an impact, or are we just following life as life dictates? And I'm amazed to see that live passes us by so fast, that in a blink of an eye, we start to have squeaky bones and the likes.

Guess that's it. Waiting for the paycheque to come in this month. Till then, God Bless!

On the exams and getting stoned

Here's the updates! Exams were good, really good actually. And yea, suffering a hangover from too much sleep (had too little during the exams *sigh*) more later!

On I-bridge, Tapah and the 2 weeks leave

Hi there! I'm back. Hah, couldn't get connected to Streamyx these few weeks, other than the occasional nights where I would be too tired and could only write miserly stuff. Hmm, and yea, I don't think I could write at work either, we've gotta give our best, remember?

Just got back from I-bridge camp 2005 yesterday, whereupon I met some of the craziest and insane dudes and gals around town (hmm, and outta town too). And it's really fun to know that you can just be yourself without worrying about all those office politics or someone quoting your lame jokes as some interesting event. Sigh* I guess office people must either be too free, or too bored.

I-bridge camp was a blast, whereupon other than all those games and even the planned escapade to Ipoh for the famous Ipoh food (which didn't work out coz Hwok Lok didn't approve, sigh*), God answered the questions that were lingering in my head. Questions that were about work, money and even full-time calling.

Although I just started work for a month, I was already planning on where to go for the next 10 years, the activities to join, like learning Bass, insurance meetings, headstart groups and even perhaps Rotaract/Toastmasters, whereby I wouldn't have to stay at home and unconsciously bite my nails off while watching TV or running through some old boring games that people my age don't play anymore. Then came the bad news.

I did not pass my one of my final papers and well, the resit is in the middle of November, hah. Fail that and it's another 8 long, dredgy months. I was devastated. One day I was looking through ads for 2nd hand beamers (BMW for those blur ones of you), and another day, well, there goes all your long term plans. And to make things worse, I had signed up for the 2005 I-bridge camp.

And yea, there was another question too. While reading Lee Strobel's The Case for Christ, I began asking myself, if God's real, and all things that Christ said was true, including His claims to be the son of God, then what are we doing with our lives? Why are we living the best years of our lives as we want it, instead of giving it to God? (and that doesn't mean we should go around scaring people with the gospel at Mcdonalds, heh!) I, for one, wouldn't want to start trying to evangelise when I'm some 50 year old uncle, or even worse, granduncle!

I guess, at times, though we know God has called us in some way or another (and call doesn't just encompass full-time), we still do struggle with our ways, dulling the still small voice within us. Could I just go clubbing and perhaps be the toast of the night by shaking those booties? Or perhaps date dat cute non-Christian that fancies me instead? Or perhaps don't bother about giving to God. After all, that saved money would help in getting the 3-series Beamer I've been interested in.

But yet, as my renewed passion wouldn't allow me to sit down and down and just be lacklustre, I've told myself to give my best to Christ, like Abel and his firstborn. And in a way, I guess God helped when I applied for leave to study. Amazingly I'm off work for these 2 weeks! Hah, no jams today, or tomorrow, or the day after or..., haha. And yea, I know that if I give my best, it'll be all fine. And yea, one last thing, I guess I've became a better reader of people recently, and it does help a lot. Till laters! God bless!

Still up

Hey guys! This blog is still up and running. Will post more in the evening, due to work though. Do check back then!

And the Job hunt continues!

Okay. I'm quite surprised that I'm still getting readers though I don't post my blog online nowadays due to adrenaline rush that comes from going from interview to interview. And, like what Vincent said in the comments in the previous post, I reconsidered doing insurance full-time and decided to go part time instead. After all, I'm not doing it for the money, but for whoever who needs a good investment in their money. (and yea, I guess I'll be desperate for sales once I go full-time there)

The last few days has been a blast. I've sent in my resume to Jobsdb.com and Jobstreet.com, so, if you do know of any good sales job, do please contact me. The farnee thing was I did not verify my email account on Jobsdb.com until Monday night, while I applied for jobs on Saturday. Realising that, I checked, found those confirmation emails in my yahoo bulk mail, changed to gmail and started getting quite a number of job interview calls. I suddenly feel like a celebrity.


Had 2 job confirmations after the interviews, but nah, haven't taken them yet. Those are china-man companies that did not have products that could sell well, or a market to expand into.

Well, I'm starting to try to fill my evening slots from Monday to Friday now. Monday's for the insurance meeting, while some friends would love to cycle on Sunday evenings. Anyone interested to follow? Heh, yea, and anyone knows of a good Toastmasters group around PJ? Kinda keen to try them out, plus perhaps some bible classes if I could squeeze the time in.


Till then, God Bless~!

Insurance?

Would it be crazy if I told you I'm considering doing insurance full-time? I guess I'm stepping into an unknown realm and yea, it'll be a waste for an Engineering graduate to be a full-time insurance agent, but what do I have to lose to give myself 6 months to try this out?

I really do not know how far, or how much I might go, and even worse, whether I would crash and burn, but yet would it be better than just being a technical salesperson?

It's tough, and I pray that I'll know what to do next..

Recruitments they post up

While looking for jobs in the papers, I one peculiar one written in the Malay Mail

Attractive pay!
Rm 3000-5000/month!
Call now for a job as a Guest Relations Officer in a famous KTV in Sunway!
Females only.

Hah, let's get some police officers there, *grin*


This looks good too

Kids with Cameras

Do check out this film

Here's the sypnosis

The most stigmatized people in Calcutta's red light district are not the prostitutes, but their children. In the face of abject poverty, abuse, and despair, these kids have little possibility of escaping their mother's fate or for creating another type of life.

In Born into Brothels, directors Zana Briski and Ross Kauffman chronicle the amazing transformation of the children they come to know in the red light district. Briski, a professional photographer, gives them lessons and cameras, igniting latent sparks of artistic genius that reside in these children who live in the most sordid and seemingly hopeless world.

The photographs taken by the children are not merely examples of remarkable observation and talent; they reflect something much larger, morally encouraging, and even politically volatile: art as an immensely liberating and empowering force.

Devoid of sentimentality, Born into Brothels defies the typical tear-stained tourist snapshot of the global underbelly. Briski spends years with these kids and becomes part of their lives. Their photographs are prisms into their souls, rather than anthropological curiosities or primitive imagery, and a true testimony of the power of the indelible creative spirit.

The Job hunt begins!

I'm officially looking for a job. My last paper would be on the 1st of October, whereby after that I would be joining the MMU CFers alumni for lunch at some posh place at Ikano or the thereabouts. Talk about an immediate graduation party. I just pray there won't be an interrogation on what's my future plans or even worse, a bash (*gasp*)



I seriously fear working, the pressures, the commitment and ultimately, the fact that working changes you, and yea, I worry I might change for the worse (like some workaholic whose dream is to own a Ferrari, or even worse, some uncle who brings out sweet young things, haih!)

But I'm already 2 years late, like some old chick hatching out after everyone flying about, and thus, the need my rubbery bum moving if I would ever get a job, ever. The sad thing about Malaysian companies is that they hate employing those older people. Seems like it's harder to train us huh.

The difference of a few hundred won't be a sticking point though, as I need to be free for our CrossRoadz on weekends. Been sickened out by the fact when my high school reunions would always be a game of comparing, whereby people start to compare their salary and assets, some going on proclaiming how 'great' someone has become because they hit the 4k ceiling or is almost retired from MLM. What happened to all our friendly chatter on life or Liverpool or even worse, Manchester United? Guess I should go around telling them my dog just had a litter of puppies, heh, or that I plan to do some low-paying job, hmmmm...



I have worked before, and saying that, I find office work, especially those 9-5 desk jobs type tires the heck outta me. Just find I couldn't seat still, as it makes me doze off *sigh* It must be the hormones of a young, macho, virile male at it's best.

Most of the time I would find myself going to the loo every odd hour or so for a 5 minute nap. Imagine having a nap at such places, I must be really desperate for sleep! Though, the good thing about a desk job would be the ability to chat and hit up a score with some old friends, tempting, no? (yea, and we hit the ALT-TAB key when the Boss passes by, sheeesh)

I work best if I'm given a chance to talk and yea, I need to move around. It's been a trait from young, thus, when people do tell me I would do good in sales, I would like to think so too. Unless of course there's an opening in Hitz.fm (but then, I do suffer from stage fright, sigh*)

So, thus, any job opportunities out there? It would be good to start working at the end of October :)


Will never beg for food, perhaps Chili's but, nahh..

Live and in the can

The last few weeks has been hard for me. Misunderstanding, hurts and questions. And at times like this, you just wish there was an undo button somewhere, or perhaps a save game to reload unto. But yet, I could search the entire Indian ocean and yet come out with nothing, nada, elek.

But God heals, and I know He does. At dead ends and broken relationships, I know that turning to Christ is so much better than ramming the divider head on at a high speed or playing an assortment of games to keep my mind off things. But God, it's still hard..



Was listening to Delirious' Live in a can album, when the words of the song 'What a friend I found' ministered over and over again. And though I know I would get hurt again, I know He's there for me. Just gotta hold on to my source of strength and hope..

Here's a short poem, heh, from the usually not-so-poetic me. Have fun.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps
---------
I could never understand,
Never comprehend, the distance between us,
Perhaps in my naivety it all seems easy,
Not realising the things I do, do keep you away.

I beat my chest in frustation,
In sadness and in hurt,
On perhaps you'll never be as close as before,
It's hard losing a friend you've known for so long.

In my moments of weakness, I cry,
Oh lead me God, carry me through these all,
Help me understand that You've a plan for us all,
Even in the midst of broken friendships that tear me apart.

As I bring my burdens to the Cross,
My hurts, frustrations and all that bear me down,
He takes me up and makes me whole again,
Is life a circle of going to the Cross over and over again?

Perhaps in time things would be better,
Perhaps it might never be,
I still couldn't comphrehend nor understand,
But I know in Christ I could soldier on..

Those old games

Been trying to post the last few days only to have Firefox crashed at crucial moments. *sigh* all my precious writings! Hmmph, managed to get rid of the problem by reinstalling the latest version of Firefox though.
-------------------------------------------------------------


Been downloading some old games this week to fill up some time. These were games that I used to shell out a huge portion of my pocket money just getting them. And yea, how I used to stinge to be able to get that title that came out on The Star's weekly In-tech edition.

And yea, we did games trading among ourselves too, whereby everyone in the group would be assigned to get a certain game and then we trade. Come on, those games cost us rm 8-15 each then, when our daily allowances wouldn't go more than rm 1. So yea, you have us, them no-life gamers whose main topic of interest in school weren't those cute chicks, but on how to get the Mechwarrior to jump jet over the enemy to get to the next part of the map. Sad huh? (hee, don't feel sad thinking about it now though)



It didn't seem to matter than, that the games consisted of pixelated screens and beeping sounds, unlike those pampered Half-life 2 and Dota gamers nowadays. Games back then had substance, ideas and replayability, compared to games nowadays that gives you awesome graphics and music, at the fraction of gameplay.

There were a lot of classics I would guess. Sierra games notching up a niche for itself in the adventure gaming market through games like the Quest for Glory series, Leisure Suit Larry series (when any naughty games like these caught our full attention, heh. Mighty curious kids we were back then, heheheh), and even the technically superior Gabriel Knight series.



Gaming used to be a huge portion of my life, as mom and dad were never back till 9pm everyday, whereby dinner would arrive in the shape of polystyrene boxes of chap fan. And after that, we would have to help feed the dog, lug in dad's law books and perhaps even do our revision in front of dad.

It used to be a huge part of my life as I tried to hide the fact I hadn't had many friends back then. And when things went for worse as I stayed alone in hostel with hardly anyone to hang out with, games were my breakfast, lunch and dinner buddies as we explored unknown galaxies, won that elusive Champion's league with some Luton no-hopers or even perhaps kicked ass as some champion Counter Strike player everyone knew as Mister Potato. (we had pretty weird nicks then like Tuan Jamban, Longkang and yea, the creative yours truly)



And that continued when I shifted with a bunch of horny (they'll kill me if they see this, heheh) guys at Cyberia apartments. Days were spent battling it out on the couch to see who's the ultimate Wrestlemania champion using The Rock's moves or even skidding around in Need for Speed 3. Who can forget Squaresoft and their Final Fantasy games too, as we rode around in Chocobos, traversing the wide, green plains. Heh, so much for sweet memories.



I've stopped gaming, other than the occasional foray into the unknown, as I find that friends, not games make out my life, as memories are always meant to be shared, not traversed alone.

Someone once said, we can live a life without friends, but what would life be without friends?


Goodbye, old pal. Sure miss the good old days of yore..

p/s: Still up for some wrestlemania challenge! Who's your daddy? heheh..

Funny Weekends

You know, it's a bit funny when weekend approaches. While on weekdays, I'm an overdued 'uncle' who's graduating in a months time, on weekends, I'm some guy bent on serving God more and seeing God's will be done on Earth.

Unfortunately, the weekend can only be construed as Friday nights till Sunday evenings, whereby after that I get lost on unfamiliar ground, like some dinosaur finding itself at the SuperBowl. Lost indeed huh?



Looking around, I find my friends busy, occupied and me with thoughts on what am I to do, where do I go? Sadly, I do feel a bit detached from the CFers and my classmates, and yea, it does affect me, with me wondering whether it has anything to do with the following points.
a) Age gap (but hey, I ain't any octogenarian! In fact, I still have all my hair)
b) the lack of chemistry (well, constant talk of cars and games by the other guys do bore me though)
c) I don't see them often enough
d) I bore them with my rendition of Jack Black



And thinking about point c), I did consider again and again on whether should I've been in some church that most of them are currently in. It was a rather long thought (and yea, they've a lot of attractive chics there too, which made the decision a rather hard one), but nah. I would say where I am has been the best thing to happen to me these 2 years. Other than the fact I lost weight, heh, and got a lil braver.



Hmm, the end is near. Gotta cherish this 'dull' moments. Now, how can I bully my housemates? Heh!

Those Multi Level Marketing people

Multilevel marketing. It scares me when old acquaintances or friends suddenly call me out of the blue for a request of dinner or yam char days or weeks ahead of the date. And it becomes rather perplexing when they keep insisting on wanting to meet while maintaining the rather sweet tone of voice. Gals do it better, though some do manage to sound really manja/flirty, all to my uncomfortableness. Heh, I should record those conversations the next time around for you guys eh?

Most of the time, they claim to have something very important to show, something that would change my life. At times I wonder if it's about the gospel, coz if it is, I'm already a Christian, and I do point it out to them vigorously that I don't need to be evangelized to again. By then, the whole gospel truth unravels itself. They're trying to sell me a dream, the multilevel marketing (MLM) dream.



I'm sure you've heard about it, those multilevel marketing programs. Amway, Elken, Shaklee and even our very own Malaysian company, something alike the Proton of MLMs, Cosway. Many with claims of being able to boost income levels sky high, with the ability to retire just before 30. Talks by them at hotels are buffeted with free and good hotel food, whereupon you'll be treated to success stories telling you how some apek made it big and is now driving a Mercedes. Enticing no? Heh, the S320 does get you the extra attention from them chicks though, who perhaps would be clamouring for a ride the 1st few months, heh.

Some of my good friends even tell me that joining a certain multilevel company is a Christian thing to do, as I would be earning legal cash in a certain Christian based MLM company and yet be able to serve God more. And when I've made it, I could retire well and be a pastor of a small church, while living comfortably. Hmm, and to encourage me further, they tell me that Pastors do join the company and well, there are lots of nice Christian gals in it too. Heh, talk about the gift of gab, I'm sure they have it. Too bad those chicks are driven by the wrong motives though, sigh*.



The whole problem with MLM as I see it, is that instead of being able to have more time for friends, church and family, I find my free time taken up trying to bug some auntie I know to buy an over priced tooth paste or fan with the promise that it'll deliver. Perhaps it does deliver, but at 3 times the original price I don't think I would wanna get them for long term usage.



And worse still, they've all these MLM planning meetings, whereupon it becomes like some commando planning meet, like those you see in 'Dirty Dozen', where we plan on which target to hit on what day and time. After all, everyone gains when I gain. Hmm, more likely my superior would gain the most eh?

It's a bit scary when MLM people start going aggresively in church, telling you that it's the way, the truth and the life. In the US, instead of doing MLM in churches, they even started MLM churches! Gasp! Heh, imagine, every new believer not only would be presented with the gospel, but with the MLM gospel package on how to make it rich. Hmm.

Now, MLMs and insurance are 2 totally different things. Insurance are absolutely needed by everyone, while people could survive without an overpriced toothpaste, gold coin that's not worth as much as you invest in, or even perhaps a rm 4k filtering system. Heh, insurance helps you save, while MLMs doesn't.



Heh, was just talking to John about the prospects of making MLM work for us. How about asking people to try evangelising the MLM way, whereupon you call your friends to makan just to tell them about something special they can't miss, and when they do take the bait, we bring out our bibles and share with them the benefits of eternal life. Certainly it'll be better than those MLM promises of money, no? (though, it most probably won't work, as people are always more attracted to promises of success. And yea, it's not easy to get people to listen to you in this postmodern world we're currently in)


MLMs? nah, give me Jesus anyday! :)

updates : Found this site while searching for Gold Quest-->MLM Watchdog, do check it out. Though I do not fully agree with everything the site says, they do point out risky MLMs if you do actually decide to plough through with MLM

Dreams

Do you believe in dreams, as in a way that God communicates? I hardly dream, but had 2 very real dreams, where the 1st was before this morning's prayer and the 2nd was after. And, it was funny that both had a message of, 'Would you serve God well? Would you give your best for the ministry?' And at both times, I woke up a bit dazed, stunned and yet pondering upon the weigh of the message. There are so many things I wanna hold on to, so many things I doubt God'll provide if I let Him do it. Should I? *sigh*

Some might say that God doesn't work supernaturally anymore, but I do, and though I don't raise the dead or heal the cripple (not just yet), I do believe that God can work through dreams and visions.

Hmm, I don't know where am I heading, just holding on to God here.
