Happy Chinese New Year to all those chinese, bananas, ah bengs… watever la… as long u r chinese… tat includes those ppl like shanti… joel vergis…

Ok… Ive just entered the working world… as an accounts clerk in a small accounting firm in Butterworth. I work in OLK Biz Management Sdn Bhd, at bandar Sunway Seberang Jaya.

Working is fun after being stucked in the academic world for quite some time… kekeke. Well… all this while i wasnt too sure of where im heading , but now, things are begininning to narrow down to smaller fractions. Yes i am planning to pursue a career as an accountant. Everyone says that i dun look like an accountant…. kekeke… but trust me… this is the path i have chosen. Only God knows why…

Thank God for providing me with this proper job. In the beginning, i almost thought that its the end of my accounting career. After i came back home after being kicked out, my dad asked me to work full time and study part time.

I know where Im heading…

There was a hustle back then. My dad told me to look for a non-accounting job such as administrative work or marketing. He argued that i never did show interest in it and im not suitable for it. But… i refused to listen to it cos i know wat i want. I decide where im going, not him.

I know my dad didnt like it….i didnt want to make it sound like im rebelling against the family… so i approached my mom and asked for her blessings. My mom blessed me. She told me to go ahead as long as u know what u r doing. But she did warn me to work hard and be good at it. Finally, my dad had to give me his blessings( haha.. im the more persistant 1 now). In fact, he saw an advertisement in the chinese new paper for a vacancy as an audit assistant and asked me call them. And… This is the job that im finally employed now.

The Interview.

My dad is a typical meloncholy. He makes u feel so useless that u thought tat ure so hopeless. Frankly, i was affected by his neurotic remarks about me. He kept telling me that its hard to get a job and told me that theres a high chance ill fail in my interview. Let me tell u this, my first ever interview is a success.

I was afraid when the secretary called me to go for the interview on 17/1/06. I thought just forget it la… but then… i did my homework on how to conduct myself, and dressed neatly. The boss, Mr Tan, called me in. I was scared at first. But he made me feel comfortable by making it very casual rather than formal. He asked me for my certificates. I showed it to him.

For the first time i felt like, hey… my effort all this while studying ACCA wasnt wasted after all… God was right, when He lead me to study ACCA…

So finally Mr Tan asked me, when can you start? I said anytime. He told me to come after Chinese New Year. Then i offered him, i dun mind coming tommorow just to get used to things, without pay.. cos my aim is to learn.. not the pay. My purpose is to gain experience and upgrade my skills. Then later only i  start  work  after chinese new year. He said, ok then… u come 2molo. Ure hired !!! I was hired on the spot.  I found that there was 4 unsuccessful candidates b4 me.
Praise the LORD !!!

I do enjoy my work.

Work is fun. I felt that im quite useful after all. I also found out that im quite a detailed person when it comes to numbers, computations and even spelling. The best part as an accounts clerk is to find ppl’s mistakes including my senior’s.. keke.. i learnt this from Pr Edward.

My senior seems to like me( I think shes a Phlegmatic-Sanguine). She teaches me many things about taxation and secretarial work. She’s happy that i point out wrong figures she keyed in. Cos it saves her from being scolded by the boss( i think hes a Choleric-Sanguine).

My boss is a nice guy. We can chat. His wife, also working in the company, is very nice (shes another Phlegmatic-Sanguine). My company got lots of plegmatics. So its an easy going enviroment.

So… tats about it for now… Gong Xi Fa Cai !!!

First sunday service of the year in FGA prai, butterworth.

     Praise The Lord, I am finally able to attend a church with my parents knowledge. I no longer need to do things behind my parents back. Today ive just attended FGA prai, butterworth for their sunday service. I enjoyed the service. Its a very small church with a congregation of about 40-50 people in my own eyes. The worship team was simple. 1 worship leader, 1 backup singer, 2 guitarist, 1 drummer and a pianist. The worship was good. I was able to worship GOD with all my heart and soul. I felt the Holy Spirit as I was soaked into worship. I will be attending this church again next week. I will be praying and seeking GOD whether or not this is the church that He wants me to be in.

Monks coming to pray.

     When I came back from church, i received a shocking news. My parents just bought and renovated a new house. So what they did was, they called the buddhist monks to pray for blessings in the house. At that time I thought to myself, " oh no!! not again!! ". I was fearful. I thought of just forget about the issue and let it be. Yet, I was convicted in my heart that my GOD detests other foreign GODs. As much as i respect other people’s believe, i cant go against my GOD, for my God is a Jealous GOD, He is a consuming fire. His anger will burn if i worship other GODs. And i thought in my heart, if i were to let them pray over me, i am a hypocrite myself to proclaim Jesus as my personal LORD. For I have said it unto the LORD many times, I will follow Jesus all the days of my life. I have to keep my words. Therefore, i made up my mind to stand up again for my faith in Christ. That if my parents were to ask me to bow down before other GODs, i will stand firm and not bow to any GODs other than my Father in heaven.

    The time finally came. It was 3pm. It was time to go to the new house for the prayer. My sister came to call me in my room, followed by my grandmother. I told her, I can go, but i will not allow myself to be prayed. I was scared though. I went down. I saw my dad, and my mom. When my dad went to the toilet, i approached my mom and told her, "err… can i not be prayed?" My mom answered me, " u wanna kena again from your dad isit? ". Oh no… not again. Then suddenly my dad came from behind me. He said it himself " if he does not want to go, then he dont have to go".

    PRAISE THE LORD !!! My dad said it without anyone approaching him. Perhaps he overheard our conversation. Yet, although he didnt sound happy, he respected my faith. And so they went to the new house. Here i am writing this blog.

GOD GAVE ME GUIDELINES- The key is my father. Conquer his heart.

    I do not know what lies ahead. Yet i know 1 thing for sure. God is working in redeeming this family. Salvation will come to the family. Last 2 nights, i seeked the LORD for a new direction in my life. The Lord said, that my most important mission right now, is to win over my father’s heart.My dad is the key to the whole families salvation. I struggled with that thought. My human reasoning keep telling me its impossible. But the LORD gave me specific guidelines. 3 things i need to do.

The 3 steps.

   First of all, I need to give my dad what he wants. What ever he requests from me, i must do it immediately. That includes good results in exams. There is no more excuse. I can no longer say that i dun like wat my dad ask of me. This aint a game. this is the soul business. To follow Christ is to deny one self.

    Secondly i must communicate with my dad more, the way he wants. I cannot talk to my dad the way i speak to the youth. I must talk sense. And to do so, i need to do my research first before talking or else, he will conclude that i am immatured. For my dad is a man of great knowledge and he speaks with details and facts. I need to learn to reason and back it up with facts. I believe that GOD will give me wisdom as He has given Daniel heavenly wisdom.

    Finally once i have done the first 2, then i will show him what i am really capable of. I am refering to my passions, Floorball and Music. And then finally,this will lead to sharing my faith more openly.

GOD will use this to destroy all my bad reputation in the family.

    Those 3 things are the guidelines the Lord showed me. He said, this is how you are going to destroy the bad reputation that you have built for the past 23 years. It will come to an end.This involves sacrifices to be made. I must learn to be a man. Cant kid around anymore. The days ahead will be full of challenges. Yet, this is my calling. If i dont do it, who else will? God has planted me in this family. Therefore i will push back the forces of darkness and bring them into light. There is much work to be done.

    Therefore, fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, run your race back home or whereever you are. If you are persecuted back home, you are not alone. But one day all the saints will meet once again in the kingdom of heaven, and we will be greatly rewarded. And there shall be tears no more. Hallelujah !!!

Hey brothers and sisters in christ, thank you very much for ur
prayers. Im finally back home. It was on thursday. I joined the main
worship team for their practice. I was about to commit myself to that
team for long term since im already out of my family. Suddenly my
brother called Pastor Edward’s Handphone. My brother told me… " dad
said ur RM 50 would have run out by now. come back and collect ur money
". To my surprise, i repeatedly asked my brother… who said that? mum
or dad? and my brother confirmed it tat it was my dad that called me
home.

Immediately i took Pastor Edward’s motorcycle ( he lent me for my
personal daily use, PCX 511 ) and ride it all the way back from penang
to my home in Butterworth. When i reached home, my mom and brother
opened the gates. My mom asked me to come in, but i refused. I said ill
only come in if my dad allows me to come back. So my brother went to
ask my dad, and my dad said… come back la. So i went in.

When i saw my mom, i couldnt recognise her. Her whole face was red
and her eyes were swollen. Shes been crying for 2 days. I chatted with
my mom for 15 minutes. Then she went to sleep. I thought that i was
going to have a talk with my dad, instead he just kept himself occupied
in his room.

The next day, in the morning, my dad said, u hav to continue ur
degree programme and then meanwhile get a job. And tat was all he said
the whole day to me. Nothing has been established at tat point of time.
Finally on new years eve, he started talking to me. We chatted for a
few sessions. But we never touched anything as far as faith is
concerned.

Finally ive decided to approach him personally and talk to him
seriously bout this matter. I told him tat i still love this family and
want to be part of this family. Yet i cannot compromise my faith in
Christ. So i asked him, does he allows me to attend church? And he
responded that hes ok if i attend a church in butterworth(im currently
attending RGBC, a church in Penang while staying in Butterworth). Hes
reason is that, im wasting too much time in going to church. He only
allows me to attend the church.

So currently im still praying for GOD to put me in the right church.
The way i look at it now, at least i can finally go to church freely
now with my parents knowing that im a christian. I need not hide
anymore. I believe that by itself is a breakthrough and GOD will work
through it all. He is faithfull till the end. Amen. Hallelujah !!!

Although im sad tat i wont be attending frontliners weekly anymore,
but  ill still be in touch with the frontliners ministry. Ill still be
serving in the frontliners floorball ministry. All i have to say,
frontliners, be strong and courageous. Be faithfull, commited and
passionate about serving GOD. I have done so throughout the 1 whole
year in RGBC with all my heart. And i hope that all of u will catch the
fire. To be on fire for Christ always. Hey 150 ppl. Dun forget that.
Dun forget the vision. Frontliners will go global one day. For God is
with us always. Hallelujah !!!
