'You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.'

'Leadership is a choice you make, not a place you sit'

'Success is not a destination to be reached, but a journey to be taken'

'People who have given up are ruled by their darkest mistakes, worst failures, and deepest regrets. If you want to be successful, then be governed by your finest thoughts, your highest enthusiasm, your greatest optimism, and your most triumphant experiences.'

healthy DILEMMA

There are two questions that struck me while I was having my shower today. Great time to think while you're alone! ;)

If a person is about to extend help for a person in need, but all for the wrong reason, yet not hurting anyone now but might lead up to an unhealthy habit, would you encourage it or rather he not exten help at all?

Are we supposed to please our boss, direct superior, or customer?

In the context of church, taking out God in the picture if possible, are we to please new friends - the people who need our attention, or our leaders - the people who we need to 'report' to?

Life is not easy huh?

IKEA trip

Went to Ikea a few days ago. Gotten ourselves pretty l0st! Thank God for the Ikea truck to guide the way.

 

Been a very long time since I last went. Miss the meatballs alot! Stuffed ourselves during dinner over there. Then I had to visit the toilet. Discovered another version of 'do to others what you would want others do to you.'

ALL in a day's work

First day drriving to work. Ain't that easy driving a manual through a jam. Takes me around half an hour still, but in much more comfortable conditions. Nice chair, air-coditioned, and what really matters most, a cd player. Managed to listen to almost 2 sermons on my travels today. 1 by Ps. Timothy Loh and another by Ps. Sadra Chin. 

According to a car expert, I should keep my new car below a certain speed but I topped 100km/h. I drove 100km in these 2 days and by the looks of it, I should service my car next week as it'll easily reach it's first 1000km.

Here are the pictures. Love the key though. ;)

  

I haven't got a SLR camera yet, so I can only make do with my 2.0 megapixel Nokia camera phone. At least it still has a night mode. ;)

And thank God I managed to get back my parking space as there was this old junk parked there. Kind enough to leave a note and I guess it managed it's way to it's rightful parking spot. :)

Back to my life as a music teacher. Adam's playing Lullaby and doing his theory. He's a 10-year-old Arsenal fan. Got me interested in his trading cards. I might get my collection next season. ;)

 

God's GREAT!

I'm finally back in Kuala Lumpur, a place where I've come to call home.

It has been a very relaxing day, yet it marks a milestone in my life. I finally got my long awaited Proton Saga. I've been having nightmares of forgetting to pick up my car today. At least now I can sleep well in the night. Will surely post the pictures soon.

Just want to thank God for friends. Hung out at Nick's place while Adys cooked dinner fo us. Got to exercise a bit using Wii. ;) A bit costly for my to buy 1 myself.

Right now there's lots of fireworks outside because of this Chinese festival that I've only got to know after coming to Kuala Lumpur. Guess it's time for me to sleep. I just have to show how comfortable I feel here. :)

Home sweet home. :)

CHINESE new year

10 days has past, my Chinese New Year holidays are officially over and it's back to work. My next holiday will be in March, and I'm already counting down towards that day. ;) Boy, how I love my holidays.

Here's how I spent my past 10 days.

23rd - Met lots of people on the way back. Daniel Ho at KL Sentral. Lo family at LCCT. Carolyn Lee too. Sumo at the airport in KK. There's always pleasent surprises when you fly back during Chinese New Year.

24th - Grandpa's 80th birthday. Everyone was there! Never realised I had so many cousins. 

  

My aunties and uncles, 11 in total.

And here the latest additions to the family.

25th - Family reunion. A bit quiet on my dad's side because some of them are overseas. And it was the start of my ang pow collection! ;)

The road I always use - Jalan Damai. Church on one end, hang out place at the other. School's right in the middle that causes it's own traffic jam after school and my house is just further down. You've can't get any more convenient that this!

26th - Food poisoning! Woke up at 6am and vormited. Managed to go to church to play for the service but vormited at home later. Missed the much anticipated 'cousin camp' at Borneo Golf. No clinics were opened so ended up going to SMC. Private hospital in KK. Realised it wasn't that expensive after all.

27th - Parents drove me to the camp site. Glad to see that they all bonded and enjoyed themselves. 

Here's my cool cousins.

Here's us. Lots of us!

 

28th - House visitation. Just the three of us - Sharon, Ken and me. It's nice to visit big houses and visualise my future house. Have to keep speaking into my future!

29th - My siblings had cell group camp while I went for Erik's wedding banquet rehearsal.

30th - Chill out at home with my psp and 'House' dvds. Went hunting for my external hard disk. Spent my ang pow money on the 320 gb, red colour casing hard disk.

31st - The big day for Erik Fung. The dinner was nice and a touching love story between to people who love God. Wonder how mine would be like? ;)

Sutera Harbour

  

Pretty interested in photography but I don't think I have the time. A wedding photographer should be quite expensive. Rather buy a camera now and get my brother to practice.

1st - Church service. Met Tim for the last time. :( Had beef noodles for lunch! Watched the Australian Open final at Paul's place. Federer lost. Good news is Man Utd is top of the table with a 1-0 win against Everton last night. Hoping for a goalless draw between Chelsea and Liverpool.

It has been a nice, relaxing time back here. Glad that I spent lots of time at home. Much more that any other family member. I still enjoy receiving ang pows but don't mind giving them once I'm eligible - 'it is more blessed to give than to receive'. All in all, I'm looking forward to next year's Chinese New Year.

tough LUCK

Pretty nice vido clip that I 'stumbled upon' ;)
