2009 – Memorable Year

Dec 31, 2009 – Memorable 2009

This is the last day of 2009. I received the same comment from different people of different ages, “2009 passed so fast.” Some may have outlived this year, some may have regrets… what about you? Whatever the year has brought about, be strong and know that the best is yet to come in 2010.

2009 is a great year… upgraded my status, from ‘miss to mrs’.  This is the best thing taken place in this year. Sam has been a great love and support to me and my life; giving me a world which I never believed that I would have. He is a hardworking, helpful, committed, man with honor, loving, and generous man. In short, he is simply amazing. I truly enjoy his companionship every single moment. Both of us share common interest; such as travelling, cooking at home, sharing the house chores, meeting up with people, talking to each other, etc. Many asked when we plan to have a baby… most probably next year. Most importantly, I need to be equipped and gain more knowledge before stepping into motherhood. Ultimately, it is still our Boss to decide.

And also in this year, Sam and I got to know a couple from Korea. They have been great friends and also generous to us. This Christmas, they bought us Dior perfume for each of us and dinner at Marche, telling us that this is a gratitude for bringing fortune to them. All credits go to Sam as he does what he promised to them and his commitment in seeing them successful.

As for works and ministries in church, I personally feel that I am more mature and able to handle stress even better. My leaders have grown up so much and are successful in the marketplace. They are those who shine out in their respective workplace. Even though, serving has not been any easier than before as they have huge responsibilities at work, but yet they are not giving up in serving God. The Subzone has grown for 40% to 140 for the past year. In the coming year, we are aiming to go for 210 people. I believe that we can do it together!! Here, I have to say thank you to my entire subzone for buying me a facial set which costs RM800 as Christmas gift. Really appreciate this… you will see a more beautiful me in this New Year.  Also, I am also picking up by doing more admin works. Not only that, this year Emerge Jr Superhero was a blast. They kids enjoyed it to the fullest. I invited my brother to join since there was a low participation in the competition. At the end, he won 1st placing in talentime performing “Diabolo” and 3rd placing in manhunt. He enjoyed to the max and asked me to bring him to Children’s Church after that event. Apart from that, the kids in Children’s Church are really amazing. They practiced so hard and had their first drama to be called their own during Emerge Jr. As a result of their great job, they were being chosen to act again for 5 min slot during Thanksgiving Services ’09. This is the summary of my year.

Now I am back to hometown, I am enjoying this time with my family, feel like time passes fast here as there are lots to catch up. We went to hot spring in Sungkai. We rented a private Jacuzzi for an hour… and the most unforgettable is that we boiled the eggs at one of the spots in the hot spring which is 100 degrees. Not only that, last night was the first time for my family; with full attendance… had dinner and went for shopping together. I do hope for more family trips in the future.

And tonight, we will have a party celebrating my sis#4’s PMR result; 8As… one of the 17 in her school and also starting 2010 together. She has made us proud. Before she sat for PMR examination, I promised to buy her an overseas trip if she can make it for straight As and she made it. We are thinking of going to Hong Kong now. Go all out for SPM… more to come.

It is a great 2009!! It has expanded my vision and mind to believe for something greater for 2010. Let’s start with a big bang.

Have a great 2010!! Cheers…

See you around.

Tribute to Oral Roberts, a great man of God

My first time coming across Oral Roberts was in 2004, and he was 86 by then. My heart melted and moved by his passion and love towards Jesus. In spite of his age, he walked up the stage with helps and sat on a chair. I still remember vividly that I listened to him on the internet during my year in City Harvest School of Theology. I was so excited and ready to take down notes, grabbing the pen but I found no paper… the only ‘paper’ with me was my Bible. Without second thought, I took down the notes on the last 2 pages of my Bible. There was not much words, but … “Today, I am going to tell you who is Jesus in the Bible.”

“Who is Jesus? In the book of….”

Starting of 2010

Yesterday was a fruitful day with many tasks done!! I am more excited and anticipated for 2010 than 2008 stepping into 2009. Can be sure, it is not about the fireworks and walking and squeezing with others along the Bintang Walk and then hide away into a cinema to catch a late night movie. This was what I did before to get my year started. As for this year, I am having more plans and ideas to know what to do for the coming year, rather than just work, work and work like a headless chicken. There are so many new things that I want to attempt… there will be challenges, but I told and prepared myself not to back off no matter how. Dr AR Bernard says, “If you never experience the pain of a wrong decision, you will never celebrate wisdom!” With this, life is going to be much colorful and more meaningful with more great stories to tell.

Firstly, the target for the coming year is to grow from 140 to 210; this is talking about 50% growth. It is not going to be an easy task, but I believe my leaders and I are more prepared to work hard to make this possible. Do pray for us that we will have greater wisdom and creativity to work out more activities for the subzone. Therefore, stay tune with us to find out the upcoming events…

I always remember what Pastor Kevin told me, the measure of your capacity is depending on the extend how you are willing to do it. Your willingness and obedience will bring you far; you will eat the fruits of the Promised Land. Lately, I am learning so many new things in life; such as booking air tickets which I don’t really like it because I seldom travel by plane and didn’t really know how to do it. Maybe this is a sign that I am going to travel more often to many different countries, **wink wink** you may say that “I am naïve”. Anyhow… who knows…

Personal life… I want to see more, try more, learn more, talk more, watch more, do more, earn more, write more, read more, meet up with people more, love more, exercise more, dress up more, online more, preach more, teach more … etc. Basically, it’s to live out this life more. Telling you this is to make myself accountable to what I say. Let’s see what will happen by the end of 2010.

Just bought 2 books; ‘Outliers’ and ‘Blink’ by Malcolm Gladwell, will share more after reading them.
