I like the phrase "Praise Him when you win, Praise Him when you loose". Today have been rough. Started with a rude and ungrateful user, end with tons of work at hand.
But I'm all good. Had to stop work for few hours so that I can go to prayer meeting tonight. Was contemplating to skip this one but in the end I know if I were to skip, I would do it again and again. I can't do that when I decide to go for prayer meeting every Wednesday for this year. It might not seem something big but personally its a huge deal. Requires much discipline and strength.
Weekend was great but 3rd day of the week is by far the worst. Yesterday I was having so much work that I one person single handedly entertained over 30++ users. That is crazy alot compared to the normla 10 to 12 users per day. Yet, I manage survive the day without a scratch.
Well since I stop work halfway earlier, it is time for me to go bath and have my dinner before I start work again. Have a great night.
Ciaozoo...

God gave me a great weekend
This week have been by far the most memorable week ever.
Saturday was great! Played basketball in the morning, had some of the guys over for steamboat in the evening and highlight of the day would be another private session at leoric's place. Finally know how to play bridge! It's been long since we last do so many activities in a day together as a group.
Sunday (which is today) is even better, the sermon about HOLY SPIRIT by John Beyer is simply mind blowing and of course refreshing. Put myself to shame because I guess I've complained and rely on myself too much lately especially when it is about my job. I think my complains/whining are alright because I'm not getting what I deserve. But, I must not stay on this track of mindset anymore because it is definitely not doing any good for me and most importantly, I don't want to mock or ridicule God's blessings and plans in my life. It is a blessing to be placed in such a big company for a rookie like me, sure I must not give in to injustice and must stand firm to my both my beliefs and believes alike but I don't have to face my issues alone. He is with me and my aid Mr.Holy Spirit is in me hence I have not much to fear.
I shall be humble but confident. Yes I shall... I think today's video that was shown for both college and high school sessions spoke something to me and helped to clear my clouded judgment once again. God is GREAT! He loves you and so I guess you should love HIM back one way or another. Well, I decided to pick up from where I've left and continue to carry the cross and rawk all the way till kingdom comes.
Thanks Thai Chic for spending time with me today! No matter what nationality you are, you are still beautiful. Heh... will not say anything more because then you'll be embarrassed.
Well Monday comes and it is time for me continue my journey. I will be awaiting for that day when I can see HIM in my reflection and that my every action will be honorable to HIM and that people will see that only He is the almighty most awesome God ever.
Have a good week boys and girls. Time for dinner.

Work?!
Unlike some fortunate people, work started today! While all my colleagues (the chinese ones) are having a break till end of this week, I have to deal with 30 tickets/users and 101 pending admin work. Micro skills will be obtained soon enough with all these crazy flows of mails, procedures and yada yada... hopefully it will pay off and win me a game of Dota or two in the end of the day.
I believe in the Chinese saying that goes something like this:
I believe in the Chinese saying that goes something like this:
"For a general to win a battle and claim the throne, millions shall die"
There is nothing wrong with the saying, because it does not speak of stealing, cheating or destroying. It merely says that many shall be sacrificed in order for you to reach the top, the "many" here can be anything/anyone. It doesn't have to be just your competitors, it could be your attitude or perspective towards certain issues.
Think about it, when you achieve success, surely someone will fail, when you are getting all the lime light, surely someone will be ignored/overlooked. It is not within our control, things such as these just happen. There isn't anything sad or negative about it, losing doesn't mean it is end of the world, it just simply proves that you are not good enough.
So? Get better and win lar!

Its the Chinese New Year
The Chinese New Year is today. Eve have passed with an annual reunion dinner and no ang pau. Somehow I don't really like the eve, maybe because they can't give ang pau until the first day of CNY arrive. pfffttt...
As the year gone past, CNY no longer have its liveliness. Or it is all because I live in the city that is why I can't feel any CNY spirit? I wonder how people in the village celebrate their CNY, but I bet CNY in a village is way more exciting and merry compared to the icy cold concrete jungle.
Even though I wasn't really enjoying myself, a message from princess definitely made my CNY a heck lot merrier. For this I dedicate this post to you my dear princess may you have a fruitful (kachingz!) CNY. Thanks for the timely merry medicine.
Heh... for the rest of you out there, feast for the day is merry!
Chill peeps, CNY is here.

Dreamers Day
Its been long since I had any dreams or nightmares for that matter while I'm asleep. Most of the time I would dream of people around me or places that I have been before. Most of my dreams seem so real that I would sometimes wake up with cold sweat or sometimes wake up with a laugh. I prefer the latter, might sound loony to choose the latter but days that I woke up with cold sweat are days that I am strike with immense fear.
Last night I dream that I was in a training camp with the leaders from my church. Rose, Julie, Jasmine, Kristy, Marcel, Aileen, Anthony, Aaron and Judah was there, Janine was running and climbing all over the camp site, was in the same room with Dalvin, Daniel and two other girl leaders. We didn't have enough blankets and linens the night we arrive.
The morning came and I was running all over the place cleaning up the mess. I saw Julie and Jasmine trying to give Rose a scare but they did not succeed. Then at night I would go to my room and chat with my room mates. The next scene was that we were going home and as all of the rest are going on the bus, I saw few cars coming stopped near the bus and came some nasty looking gangsters. Couldn't remember if they are armed but no one noticed but me. I was then pushed around by them and they stepped on my glasses and crack it.
As I was lying on the floor, suddenly the police came and save the day. All these commotions and no one from the bus noticed. As I struggle to stand up and walk to the bus, I saw two foreigners folding their arms standing at the side of the road watching me. On their shirt, it was written in Chinese - 父 (Father) and 牧师 (Pastor).
Later on I went up the bus and everyone was having fun and I just sat down next to Joanna D. No one noticed the bruises and broken specs not even Joanna who is sitting right next to me. But somehow I was relieved, I don't know why. Just a sense of relieve and peace, maybe its because the rest wasn't harmed. So as the bus was moving out of the bus station, I asked Joanna the all time favorite question in YC - "Who do you like in YC?" and my dumb alarm have to make noise before I can hear the name. Darn...

Server down
The first thing I see when I open my eyes are blurry visions.
When I try to walk out of my room my steps are not solid. Heck I can't even walk straight.
The next thing I know I found myself sitting down on the floor because the hallway is spinning.
That is when I know I've lost to exhaustion. I won't admit that I am old. I'm just worn out from work. Futsal when you don't feel too well is not a good idea. Seriously...
Even now as I type out this post before I go back to sleep takes a toll out of me but I still want to fight with exhaustion and see how much longer I can last before the error "Server Down!" appears before my eyes and black out takes place. Doubt that will happen.
Am doing some work at the same time. I shall prevail!
Urgh... can't... too dizzy to think... auto shutdown commencing in 10 seconds...
*Server powered down*
*BLIP*

I can't believe this
I'm so bored that I actually want to work.
I don't like public holidays that comes unexpectedly during the weekdays.
Most of the time I would be left some where between "slave mode on!" and "partae time!". The feeling is so awkward that I have to spend half of the morning to decide whether to just slack the whole day and do nothing or be productive and do some work from home.
Well, today is one of those days. Thai-pu-sam... why must they have something like that on Thursday? My friend Leoric have no holiday at all, that makes me angry because if not for that, I would be playing Dota with him till the break of dawn.
I hate public holidays! Especially Thai-pu-sam! I'm bored!
