I hate my job when...

1. I am given unreasonable deadline.
2. I am given unreasonable workload.
3. My work interfere my personal time, personal priorities, rest, sleep...
4. All of the above happen at the same time.

Today is no. 4.

"I HATE MY JOB!!!!!"

from going after girls to evangelizing...

We were having an interesting discussion in the office someday last week. Shahnaz was giving Vince some coaching on how to go after hard-to-get girls.

According to one of Shahnaz's theory, the harder she resist, the bigger the breakthrough will be. The key is no matter how hard the girl resist you, as long as she allows you to keep staying around her, just be persistent and hang on, you will have a chance to reach a breaking point and see her fall head over heels for you afterward. If she won't give you a chance at all, she won't let you be around her, she will run away from you as far as she could and flee for her life.

Need any proof? Don't you see so many fat ugly man out there who have a gorgeous and faithful girlfriend? They know this trick...

Well, personally I don't know how well it works on getting girls, but I see its application in reaching out to our unchurched friends.

I believe we all has friends who has a problem believing in God, and yet always likes to ask us questions about God and Christianity. They don't mind following us to Lifegroup meetings and church service or events occasionally, but they insist that it's just for the fun of it, not that they are ready to believe in God.

I think that theory applies here, the more they resist, the bigger the breakthrough will be. As long as they don't run away from us, one day we will see their heart touched by God and they will be so head over heels for God.

I still remember how much I resisted when Joescher first invited me to church, how I get irritated when he talked about Christianity, and how eager I wanted to change channel when I heard worship songs in his car. And yet I stayed around him till one day God touched my life and the rest is history.

So just have faith and keep reaching out to those who have been following you to church for a long time and yet to believe in God, as long as they stay around, you never know one day they could become the strongest disciples that you've even seen. Just look around you, you don't need more proof...

Now that it's all over...

I think I am suffering serious TSOA withdrawal symptoms. Bear with me, will be cranky and emo every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night 7.30-10pm. Some of the nights might burst out in worship singing from 7.30-8.15pm. 

These symptoms might go on for approximately few weeks or up to six months, depending on whether appropriate rehabilitation treatment is found.

random night out

We were having a random-for-no-reason barbeque session last night, and halfway through, someone just suggested that why don't we drive up to Genting to yam cha now? So, within just an hour we quickly gobbled up the remaining food and cleared up the mess, and headed up to Genting at 12 something midnight. Talk about randomness and efficiency.

It was really an awesome night, catching up with each other's life, gossips, scandals, who's got a new job, who's got a new girlfriend and etc... And I just realized that I've really not seen some of them for way too long. 

Looking forward for the next big thing with the gang, Christmas. And by the way, I will be going to Genting again on Monday.

p/s: I pity the driver who have to endure the insane laughter and screeching shriek while concentrating on the windy and foggy road. You deserved an award!

It's finished

I finally had my last night in The School of Acts. 

The Last Supper

Six different nationality were represented in this pic. Nepal, Myanmar, US, India, Philippines and Malaysia. I want to believe that we don't need to wait till when we get to heaven to meet again. 

By the way, yesterday was a rather special day, besides having my last night in the school, I attended a funeral, skipped a wedding, and celebrated a friend's birthday.

Counting down

Some interesting and tongue-twisting quotes from the class last night.

"Your call is not your call."

- our calling in life is not up to us to decide, it's God's calling on our life.

"Hurt people hurt people, healed people heal people"

- We can only give to others what we have inside of us. So if we are hurt, we will minister hurt unto others. Only when we are healed by God's love we will be able to bring healing into other people's life.

Only two more classes to go...

It just hit me that The School of Acts is coming to the final week already. No more rushing and hungry Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights after this week and no more rushing for worship practices...

It's amazing how fast six months can passed. I am going to miss those nights. 

The amount of learning I had for the past 6 months was truly overwhelming, imagine within 6 months more than 10 different teachers sharing their life experiences and ministry experiences that possibly adds up to hundreds of years. I believe I was just able to grasp fraction of it in class. But thanks to the convenient of technology, all classes were recorded, so I just decided to buy the CDs of all classes, cost a bomb to my wallet. But I think it's worthwhile.

Finally, here's my submission for the cover design of our yearbook, it may not be selected as the final cover, but I am really proud of it :)
