Hugs, wishes, sentimental gifts, blessings, prayers etc-All lavished upon my life!

=') Morning- Christabel gave me a treat for breakfast, joined with Winnie, Linda and Victor. I completed all my tasks and suffice to say, I'm satisfied with my last performance =') I received my testimonial and my jaw dropped upon reading it! Brilliantly written...Anyhow, I bade everyone in my floor goodbye. =') I went down to the lower level for that is where my wacky and hilarious gang works. They hugged me, shook my hand, showed some kissing gestures and...they really miss me =') I will miss them too...
[Christabel, Joseph, Mike, May, Agnes, Daniel, Winnie, Lindas]- I love you guys lots!

='') Afternoon-Pre-worship touched my heart as always...Each prayer was both touching and bull-eyed my heart...='D The last session of me leading worship was as usual-Extravagant :p Lavinia, Eunice, Chien Win and I were prayed for by Uncle Michael and I just feel so blessed. After the prayer, everyone hugged me, shook my hand, and wished me =')
[Dearest Levites,precious SYM-ers,Wise Leaders,Jovial Friends,Great Pr and mighty Counsellors]-You guys rocked my world!

=''') Night-Serin, Praaba, Brian and I went to Gurney and we had a good chat over our dinner and they gave me a gift of sentimental value-Study Planner attached with a bookmark of precious words ="D We laughed like nobody's business and it's beyond sweet to know that they really love me and cherish me as their precious friend ="D
[Though our time spent together was brief, you guys left me an everlasting worthy-to-be-remembered experience] <33333

O_O Midnight- I was shocked to discover the blessings of my uncles and aunties! I was stunned for a while...A laptop awaits me...financial blessings....O_O It's just way too overwhelming for this simple soul to receive it all...
[Closest and most beloved and cherished family members, I really do ~love~ all of you and I know that you love me too =D]

Rendezvous of the 18th =D

I decided that this would be another event where it should be given its honor =D Alright, there are tides of tidings from me and suffice to say, my heart is very gay!

First of all, I got accepted into UTM, my most coveted and desired Uni and praise be to the good Lord, I got into it and I'll be pursuing Computer Science which majors in Industrial Computering =D Who knows in the future, I might handle a project in collaboration with the Stark Industries :p

Next is of course, the most inspiring occasion of all. I went to mph to retrieve my long awaited DVD,"A walk to Remember". =D Again, praise be to God for there was no flaw throughout the entire movie and I'm greatly pleased with that =D It's a masterpiece of inspiration!

Last but not least, was the enchanted moment I had with my church-mates while we were watching the Hulk. Though I was in exile in the cinema, I totally enjoyed my seat because I actually got to see more than just the movie alone.[The girl who sat next to me was so animated in her gestures! XD] . Spending time together in goodall cafe after that was memorable and marked the climax of the night =)

My heart is simply overwhelmed with Joy! =)

A day worthy of remembrance.

Ahha! Today is a day, worthy to be remembered, at least by me XD. So what were my day's highlights? =)

Morning: I was supposed to have breakfast alone, and as per usual, I had no idea of where to head to. So there I was, calculating, reckoning and estimating how much time I should have left, should I go here or there. Alas, I landed on the grounds of the Fettes Park market. :p Had roti canai as usual, but that's not the in-thing about it. I had tons of leftover time after my breakfast and I decided to visit the Indian newspaper vendor. My initial plan was to purchase a comic but none amused me.[kinda ciplak eh, comic nowadays]. So browsing through his merchandises, I picked up a PC-GAMER magazine! WOOHOO![ Now that's the in-thing ;) ]

Afternoon: After I had lunch with my mom and having dropped her at my grandma's place, I went to Praise Yamaha and I bought myself a guitar winder, to wind my guitar obviously.[The 2nd in-thing] Having the urge to satisfy my curiosity, I enquired my future wife's, Bethany Green's[Yamaha CPX900] price. RM3.3k =D WOOHOO![The 3rd in-thing]. It comes with a Gator hard case and a locked-strap.[Gaya gaya]

Afternoon-Evening: Boy this is the BEST IN-THING of the day. G3 event took place in RGBC's fellowship hall. XD WOA! The 2 most versatile and dexterous guitarists, except me of course[for I'm just a competent guitarist, who makes up the 3 :p] were in action. I didn't quite like the feeling of standing on stage but aye, it's okay XD. It still feels awesome! WOOHOO! Never imagined myself to be part of the G3 member :p

Allocations.

Looking back at my intentions of working, it's kind of interesting. Though my intention was to earn some bucks, that was secondary. My prime focus was to allocate them appropriately. I offer my thanks to God, for now, I'm able to invest bountifully into His Kingdom. Apart from that, I purchased a Nelson's NKJV Study Bible. Knowing in mind that He's blessed me this much, and having learnt of the doctrines taught by the church, I await to bless others with what He's blessed me with. The prompting is all I need.

=) Miser I am. However when it comes to necessary investment and blessing, I think I'd be more than willing to give. =) Afterall, I should be a blessing to others ;)

Acts 20:35~..."It is more blessed to give than to receive" ;)

Therefore, don't rob God and be a foolish builder =P

1 month in anticipation!

ALAS! Praise be to my God! I received my first paycheck today! The feeling is really inexplicable...XD Indeed, God has demonstrated His Providence in my life-constantly safeguarding me, embracing me at all times and season. =D Not forgetting His provision;the unending neccesities in life;laid neatly before my very eyes; pending to be utilised.

Aye, I went to Gurney with a hope of purchasing my books! With dismay, I was informed that a booking would have to be placed...and the waiting period is...1 month. ='( I decided to order 2 books instead of one, which will obviously make my life so much more merrier. =DD

Having my cash in-hand, I think it's time for me to properly contemplate, cogitate, ponder and whichever word which has association with the above, a wise budget of my expenditure =DD

Samurai X

I put my ear against your back and held you.
My body is kind of like a borderline, a hinderance. [1]
It's as if you're going to go somewhere.
But if I keep them in, such feelings will tear me apart.
I want to get closer and closer [to you]
in a world that's no more than 3 meters away from you.
Taking turns pumping the pedals
Passing over bowing sunflowers
Taking in the steady wind, yeah, as if we could fly.
For the first time, I felt your heat.
I want to be stronger than anyone else!
With warm rhythm
Two hearts beating as one [2]
Lip to lip, eye to eye, hand in hand. [3]
God doesn't forbid anything at all.
I love you.   I love you.   I love you.
I haven't learned my lesson yet;
but an adult wouldn't understand.
It's painful and distressing,
wanting to show you my feelings; feels like I'm gonna burst.
I'm looking the other way, waiting, so
take the hand that's hesitating in your pocket [4]
and touch my cheek.
Put a spell on me with loving power.
We always took the long way home together.
The sky seeming to overflow bitter orange
Sort of happy & sad
Why were "we" born?
We're 1/2 of each other, right?
I try thinking by myself, but
as I expected I'm not very good at it.
I envied the strong person who was able to throw
a ball so far that it went out of sight,
and wanted to become a boy.
Softly, like calm water
I want to be stronger than anyone else!
Like when I was small
Isn't it strange, my tears are falling [5]
Lip to lip, eye to eye, hand in hand.
The same entity, feeling the same thing.
I love you.   I love you.   I love you.
I haven't learned my lesson yet;
but an adult wouldn't understand.
Even though I was told I wouldn't be able to reach,
right now, I just want to jump!
I'll give you a bye-bye kiss,
the distance of the final step,
so hold me even more,
as if to keep the sun from setting.
We watched the lone sun setting together, just the 2 of us.
It was absolutely beautiful.
It's just somehow I can't say it, somehow it's not enough. [6]
On the day when this world explodes, [7]
just like Nostradamus predicted,
I want to become one with you!
With warm rhythm
Two hearts beating as one
Lip to lip, eye to eye, hand in hand
God doesn't forbid anything at all.
I love you.   I love you.   I love you.
I haven't learned my lesson yet;
but an adult wouldn't understand.
It's frustrating and distressing,
wanting to show you my feelings; feels like I'm gonna burst.
I'm looking the other way, waiting, so
take the hand that's hesitating in your pocket
and touch my cheek.
Put a spell on me with loving power,
as if to keep the sun from setting.

It's pleasant indeed.

I was reading my novel and I took notice of the friendship and the bond that 2 men had in the story. The way they displayed and exemplified affection to one another; when the both of them were wounded and how they complimented one another, it really moved me.

So being a slow reader, resting is inevitable and during my resting period, I went out to catch a chinese drama and now, it's the relationship and the affection displayed by this man towards this lady and again, it touched me.

Aye, I am ~SO~ contented with my life at the present moment. What more could I ask for? God is so good to me =) *chuckles*

Ahh, what a day =D

Work was fun, as usual ;) Raising a bountiful amount of invoices and having them all keyed in into the system couldn't make me feel any better ;) I feel so satisfied =D Currently, I'm under my new boss, the name is Guat Yong. Though she's new[to me], she's been a permanent staff for God knows how long in Pacific World.

I attempted in keying in Cash Sales entries, with the help of my hilarious colleague, Yen Ching and I did it! =D Yay! I guess I must have levelled up a little through all the strenuous training and the practical experiences that I had during Jeffrey's time. Left the office at about 6.30-6.45pm but I was happy =)

What more could I ask o God! ="D God, You rock! ="D

April 23, 2008

What more could I ask for? =)

*exhales with satisfaction* What more could I ask from God? I'm so contented with my present lifestyle. Currently, I'm working in this place called 'Pacific World' which is not situated in Butterworth, but somewhere just off my place-Prima Tanjung to be specific. I work in the A/R[Accounts Receivable] dept and boy, it's easy money =) All I need to do is to key in invoices.[Omit the raising invoices and filing in invoices part] Boy, I lead such a happy lifestyle. =)

"Money, is a gas...Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash..."-Lyrics from the Italian job ;)

Make your stash babey! =DD
