If I Was A Teacher

If I was a teacher, I think I would choose to be a Mathematics teacher. After all, that is my stronger subject, compared to any other I have done. I scored full marks for my University Mathematics exam OK, dun puay puay......but now I left everything in the exam halls.....no choice lah, weight limitation for the flight back to Singapore forced me to lighten my brain.....

BUT, after seeing what Tingie sent me on some of the answers to Mathematics questions, I think I really really have to consider if I ever wanted to be a teacher at all in my life......

This fella would have scored full marks, if Stephen Chow was his teacher. I'm sure.


But nothing can prepare even Stephen Chow for the next one. I bet Bee Gees was playing "You Win Again" soundtrack when the teacher received this next submission....
This one I confirm pah pop for him.....................................it's one of those WAH LAU EH!!!!!!

Working With An Attitude

Not been able to write for a while because I am caught up with things to do and I seem to fall asleep with the computer on for a couple of days now. Missed going to Club 7 also. But well, tonight and tomorrow, I will definitely be there. Of course, tonight Azora is going to serve me free satay. I am going to demand for it! Otherwise, will tell Atom to fire him and will also ban him from Club 7! hiak hiak hiak hiak *evil grin*

I am still in office past 7pm on a Friday. It's already weekend! But well, stayed back to do some stuff and hopfully my boss' fax will come in before I go. Supposed to help him look out for a fax. Was just thinking about the mentality towards work that I have.

Working is a phase of life that most go through. There are those born with a diamond spoon in their mouths, we shall exclude those. There are poor people out there who chop off their limbs and beg on the streets. To them, that is work! (I cannot believe it, but they exist...)

It is a phase of life that requires an attitude. Just what is the attitude should I have? Some have suggested "I dunno, I dun care", "I do what I can, I dun care what I can't", "I'm a slave, I should be thankful that I am employed", "I am paid to work to 5:30pm, dun talk to me about work at 5:31pm or U shall see a flying laptop".......many many different ways of looking at it.

Everything happens for a purpose. So there must be a reason why we are working at a certain place. We are put there for His divine purpose. Deep down, I know I should be happy working. Everyone should be, provided got good pay, good boss, good working hours, nice colleagues, responsible staff, etc.....Chances are, I cannot choose all these parameters. BUT, I can choose the mentality that I have towards work.

Some time back, I was caught in a period of time where I was really unhappy and was on the verge of leaving the company. But I am thankful that I have come to realise it is my mentality towards work that will drive me on. With interest and the pride to want to do something well, and being happy to do it, no matter how difficult the path, I will naturally push myself to go on. If anyone hears me complaining about work now, hahaha, I can assure that it is just being whiny and I actually enjoy a little whining about some of the issues. It's really funny how some situations are. At the end of the day, I know I will do my best.

Should the day comes when I am deemed unsuitable here, I am happy to be fired or to leave. Because I know, my Father will walk with me through the good times and carry me through the hard times.

Thank you Father.

Taming The Tongue

On Monday, I said things that I should not have said. It was not just a matter of saying something wrong. It is also knowing when to stop. For so many times, it is because I did not stop when I am supposed to, then I say things that I should not have said.

Best phrase to describe it. "It was uncalled for."

The tongue. Meant to help us with the taste of food, to talk clearly and some other functions. Fail to control it, and it can be like a fire that will destroy an entire forest. Such is the power of this part of the body. And I am just losing my control of it!

I think I really need to be more sensitive. Sorry if I had offended anyone non-deliberately, deliberately, by chance, or by appointment. I really have no intention to hurt. Whatever it is, I really am apologising. Let's forget the past and move ahead anew.


Forgetting what lies behind.
And setting our hearts on the prize.
Always keeping our eyes on our Lord Jesus.

We’re running the race to win.
All the way to the end.
Throwing off anything that will seek to hinder us.

Right? Wrong? Maybe?

He is perfect. He hates sin.
It is unacceptable for Him to be associated with sin.
Therefore, to not be in Him, is to be in sin.
Do you want to be in sin?

The above is right.
Therefore, it is not wrong.
If it is a maybe,
Then we won't be steady.

Choose to be hot or cold.
I pray choose the one to behold.
Not by power, nor by might,
But by His Spirit, to be on His side.

The above ran through my head, as sometimes you wonder what are the real directions in life that you wanna take. I wonder if decision A or decision B is the best, etc...U know, somehow, deep inside, we all know what we want to do, but always just trying to find reasons to justify it. The more ridiculous the want, the more ridiculous the reasons.

What then is needed for us to make the right decisions? Answer : To be near the truth. Because only truth is victorious and will set you free. He is the truth. I want to be near Him. Then I know my path. I can't be wrong if I am walking with Him. Even if I do not know where I am going, as long as I walk with Him, it must be the right direction. Therefore, knowing the final outcome for everything is not the most important to me now, aligning my walk with Him is.

Today, I remember a lesson I learnt long ago. If something causes you to feel it is not right in Him, don't go ahead with it. If something causes you to possibly compromise your relationship with Him, avoid it. Better to have nothing and be with Him, then to have everything without Him.

"Far better is to be with you even for a day, than to live a thousand years and to never see one glimpse of Your face."

Guardians of Tower de Celsius

Had to miss church and go to office today because I just shifted. So had to go and test all the PC connections, unpack some stuff and basically try to be as ready as possible tomorrow to start work. Had the basic things setup on my desk to get things going on Monday, left with two boxes of documents left unpacked. Can only do that after my carpet has been repaired and my shelf moved to stand properly on its designated place.

Most important of all is to set up my "Tower de Celsius" (yes, remember I have a thermometer on my desk?) Along with it came the guardians (but of course!)
