Had to drop my MIL back to ipoh and back. Then, rest like about 1/2hrs then to church for the evening service. Whew... was so tired out like knock off. Brain tired and body tired..hehehe.. I mean real draining.. When you drive looooong distance..you really have to concentrate on the road. That's gets you really tired..talk about concentrate...

There were this guy shopping for stuff in a supermarket... he was like browsing, browsing... then he sort of stop and stare for something for quite a while.. His friends came along and was wondering.. Asking.. Hei man, what's happening? He answer.. don't disturb me I am concentrating... then his friends like found out..

He was looking at a "Concentrate" Orange Juice pack..

Well.. hope you enjoy that..

Chow..

Right for the start of the day busy.. almost non stop. Actually, should have got my job or work done like so much sooner except for the laser printer that decided to print like 5 copies at a time and then you ahve to reboot the laser..* like have to switch it off and restart again... * but in the end manage to get it done..sooner or later.

Came back to house quite early but got a call from my niece that wanted to go to "pasar malam" well... quite an event... first i had to park my car across the road... than later found out that someone stole her borrowed hand phone (* my niece if you are reading this)...  well... we get careless once in a while but i don't blame her. *Have you learn your lesson d?..  I hope so... well,... i guess she is really mad.. I can understand her cos.. couple of years ago someone pick pocketed my wallet as i was coming out of Prangin Mall's cineplex. LOst everything... had to do my driving licence, id card, bank card...etc... Police report... what a nightmare. So... anyway to all those of you... beware of pick pockets... guard your hand bags and wallet especially in a crowded places.

Well, had a good sharing this morning at devotion. Pastor from new zealand came and share his heart. He said... We are use to be a servant of GOd.. always like serving Go etc.. and always wanting His approval. Well, is you are a servant... usually a servant would look for approval from his/her Boss... but he said we are calll to be sons and daughters of God. So, we have to take a position of authority. And we don't have to seek hHis approval.. but seek His will and do them. Servant can be fired but sons will always be sons. hehehe.. that's a relief. Well, have to go work now... still busy. Hope to write more often... See ya! God Bless you always.

Today is quite a sad day knowing a friend and teacher had passed away.
He was my sundy school teacher when i was in my teen. To me he was a
person who had live his life to the fullest. So, i went to the wake service
tonight and hear what others said about him. To me he was a person
who always smile and have a very good attitude for life and always wants
the best for others. He is a giving person and a all out for God kind of person.
Very good teacher in His Word and a very good family man.
 Always open his home to others. So, it's kind of sad for me even tho'
I know God had a better plan for him. So, one of the pastor read this article
in malay mail about him... I hope it will impact you some way or another.
God Bless
A towering Malaysian
By Malik Imtiaz Sarwar     August 12, 2008      Categories: Opinion

THOUGH I was initially going to write about the debacle at the Bar Council auditorium on Saturday,

I decided against it. What more is there to say that we do not know already. It comes as no surprise

that radical and extremist elements exist in our society or that political opportunists will seize

every perceived advantage where it benefits them to do so, even when it is completely against reason.

What is crucial to understand is that all things said and done, the extremist is the exception and

does not define the norm. One has just to look around to appreciate the truth that all

our lives are the sum of a collective of varied experiences in which no one person is more significant

than the other.

From the durian seller on Jalan Alor in Kuala Lumpur to the elderly Indian Muslim junk shop

owner off Chulia Street in Penang, and everyone in between, we all add hue and colour

to the rich tapestry that Malaysia is. That is something that can never be taken away from us.

This was however not the principal reason I chose to leave aside the events of Saturday.

Early this morning, fellow Penangite and friend, Azmi Sharom, informed me that

a former teacher of ours, Mr Tan Har Yong, had passed away at the age of 54.

I wish I could present a glowing eulogy of the man, his life and triumphs.

The sad truth is that I cannot. I cannot recollect the last time I saw him.

I cannot tell you about the paths his life took him on nor the journeys he made.

Periodically, friends had relayed our greetings to each other.

Through this, I came to know only of his having become a pastor

and that he was apparently, and somewhat mysteriously, satisfied with

what he had managed to achieve with those of us he had tutored.

I cannot tell you whether he was happy or fulfilled, though blogs

I checked this morning suggested that he was, for the fact that he had given

of himself to the bigger cause of shepherding those who were guided to him.

And that he did.

Like many others, I first met Mr Tan when I was 12. I was in Form One

and his was the comforting presence that allayed my concerns and anxieties about

being in a new school, with new people. It was his smile ready and quick, mildly

bemused and the deadpan expression, that said it all: we were not to take ourselves

too seriously but it was perfectly acceptable, natural even, to feel nervous and

uncertain as everything would sort itself out.

I remember that smile principally because there was a photograph, a close up, of it.

Some of us in the first and second forms had decided to present a photo-feature

spoofing the school at a dinner. Apart from a slide of Azmi Sharom stripped to the

waist looking like he had just been severely caned, tomato ketchup smeared across

 his back to emulate blood, there was this slide of Mr Tan.

Under it there was a caption that read: Why is this man smiling? The next slide

offered a wider angle, revealing three students pushing his car, faces contorted by the strain.

The caption on this one read: He saves petrol.

Over time, we learnt of his uncompromising adherence to fairness and right over wrong.

He was rigid at times but for all the correct reasons. His even temperament,

compassionate nature and sometimes strange sense of humour ameliorated what few effects

there were of this characteristic. He reinforced what many of us were being taught at home.

To him, it did not matter that we were Chinese, Indian, Malay or of any other ethnicity.

He made us see that though each of us was unique and different, we were all the same

for each of us being deserving of the respect of the others.

And so, when we laughed, we laughed together. And when one of us felt pain, all of us felt it too.

He made us see that we were family to each other and that even though some of us did not really

get along with some of the others sometimes, there were times that we did, all of us.

I would like to think that this had a profound impact on those of us who came to consider

him a friend and mentor. He touched our lives and showed us in his own inimitable way that

we could achieve anything that we set our minds and hearts on.

It is no coincidence that there are a string of lawyers, activists and professionals,

all contributing to the shaping of a better Malaysia in which race, religion or creed do not matter,

whom Mr Tan nurtured as a teacher.

And as I write this, I find myself wondering whether those who decided to disrupt

the proceedings on Saturday would have done things differently if they had had a Tan Har Yong in their lives.

Perhaps so.

God speed, Mr Tan. You were a towering Malaysian.

Yup, we are comin back today... 3.10pm filght Air Asia...will reach KLIA or LCC about 5pm then wait tillk abt 9pm to catch the next air asia to penang. I am glad to come back actually. It has been a good trip. But sadly the men's encounter this time have only 7 people attended. I mean no sad that they attend...but i was hoping that more people over here were to register. But we had a great time and God is real great. In the end we all were glad that we only have 7 people.. cos God Knows Best!

The place we were conducting for the encounter were so small that 7 ppl is just nice. If we were to even have 2 more it would be so cramp that we will have to actually sit side by side. So, God knows best. Te group had a wonderful time .. God was minister to all of them. We even have one guy from a catholic church joining us and from another church for the first time (Hope Church, sibu). We alll got to know each other and had a blast!

I will post try to post the  photos that i took when i come back. cos' here is a bit inconvenience.

Food here is slightly different, but good. Most of them quite healthy. After the encounter, the SIB member Bro Richard & Sis. Mee Ting took us out to korean food! wow...very nice. That was sunday night. ANd last night another bro..Rafael took us to this chinese reastaurant..MAn u should see what we eat..my good ness...*see the photos later* k.

It was real real good!.. Had a wonderful time meeting up with this peple again. The other team, Peter Tan & Chong went for a boat ride to sarike today.. i didn't join them cos' of time. This group will leave tomorrow. But i am glad to leave today. Was actually missing home already..hehehe.. yup..get back to my"lifestyle". And also want to make sure James is doing his job! wahahaha..jjs kiding.

 Thru' all this... i 've met new people, and know that i am real bless and God is real Good to me!
