when we go out to work, and join the so-called 'rat race'.. we come across several types of people.. the competent jerks.. and the incompetent nice guys. (in reality, they call it: lovable fools. quite harsh) and of course, we also come across competent and lovable guys. let's not discuss the fourth combination. now.. be it in corporate world.. or in the church.. if u gotta choose between competent jerk and incompetent nice guy to be the board member- which one do you think will get the vote? that.. my friend.. is the ugly truth.
super tiring today.... -_- blame the tyre =( but thank God.. He listened to my prayer and sent ko Omar to my aid. and i realised.. i have not talked to him for quite a while.

2011!!!!!

I can't stop thinking about the Social Network. When I watch Mark Zuckerberg doing his coding frantically, I was thinking.. "darn.. some of the most well known guys in this world studied what I studied!" Think Bill Gates. Steve Jobs. And now.. Mark Zuckerberg. Yeah.. these world famous people were, and probably are still, nerds. I almost wished I was nerd -_- So it's concluded. Nerds are cool! And another thing we observes was of course, some of the most famous brand in the world today began with passion, not profit. Apple. Google. Facebook. Easy to observe, nice to know, difficult to follow. But man.. Shouldn't we at least try? So 2011.. You gotta be explosive!!!
don't be yourself.. being yourself will never do.. seriously. most of the times, you simply have to be numb to yourself. that.. my friend.. is the ugly truth.

the what ifs

today, as I ponder on.. all the what ifs that we could ever think of, I realise that they will never be answered, and that's the beauty of life, of this race we are in. what if I took that step, what if I didn't take that decision.. I look at all kind of people around me, some of them are now living lives I wouldn't have predicted before. while many of them are pretty predictable. and one or two.. are no longer breathing. what if my cousin really suffered from rabies? what if they took him to Jakarta instead of Singapore? what if they didn't send him back to Medan? would he be still alive today? only God knows. I think it's tiring when we live in these what ifs. If we think there is better way ahead, well.. for goodness sake, just go for it. If we think we just missed it.. too bad.. we gotta move on. rather than answering the what ifs, maybe we should learn treasuring the present. cliche it is.. as cliche as the unnecessary questions that trouble you and I most of

Reader's Digest Marketing Crap

Just received a letter from RD claiming that I qualified as one of the few who is eligible to be the winner of their 200k sweepstakes prize. And they will be sending me some stuff later on that I need to reply bla bla bla.. if I win, they will arrange for limousine pick up at my home for a lavish 5 star hotel lunch paid by RD, should I agree so. Oh well... it did look good. Good enough to attract suspicion ^^ Went for a quick search and apparently: 1. Yes.. they do have sweepstakes that offer prizes as they promised 2. But so many people have been 'lured' into subscribing to the magazine somewhere during the process of receiving and replying their letters in order to win the sweepstakes. So.. since they do have genuine prize to be given, you wouldn't call it a scam. But it's quite crappy, honestly. I didn't know that this magazine use such a marketing gimmick to attract subscription. What a shame. Having said that.. I wonder.. should I play along then?

harvest song

this is my prayer in harvest.. when favor and providence flows.. i know i am filled to be empty again.. the seed i receive i will sow. - desert song wow.. have listened to this song dozens times, and yet.. every time i think about the above 4 lines, i can only say.. "wow". the desert part of the song is difficult to sing, but the harvest part? living it will be truly supernatural. it will open wide the gate of Heaven and i can't even begin to imagine how great it would be. the world has yet to see a church which live in such way. because when we the church live in such way.. i am sure we will turn the world upside down like the early church.

wild at heart

yesterday i got a question about this interesting book called 'wild at heart'. i read the book 3 years ago. and as i read it, i too had similar questions. and I too found similar 'feedback' in the internet regarding this book. but i recommended it anyway to my bro and ivan5x. because i learn that although this book refers to 'brave heart' as much as it refers to bible, it benefits men not less than the movie "passion of the Christ". (both of which has to do with Mel Gibson). "wild at heart" is not an apologetic or evangelistic book, so my advise is.. take it for what it's worth. just like the book "Song of Songs" in the bible. to some.. they can't understand why book with such graphic language is in our bible. to some.. it's one of the greatest evangelistic books in the bible (i kid you not).

overcomer

reading Pastor Kong's latest tweets, I feel sorry for him. I dunno what he is going thru exactly, I dunno whether he's totally innocent or not.. but I know that he is an overcomer. He will overcome all odds, and remain standing after all is thru. Just like king David. And I pray that I would too.. though in general things have been good for me.. there are these little stones here and there that continue to pierce the peace of my heart. there are these people who I need to overcome, in one way or another. oh God.. I need Thee..
