..my battle stance..

The week has been anything but ordinary, nothing but grace. I have never worked on so many cases at one time before. And none of those cases were result of my own creativity or hard work. God's generosity.. it's amazing. And in the Batu preacher's (the way brother John put it) word, it's restful. Don't get it yet.. but maybe I don't need to really get it. I just need to believe it. The mystery of the Father's heart. He is good. He is good. And after such a high.. you will wonder whether you are in for some lows. But God reminds me that simple prayer. Jesus teaches us to ask the Father for our daily bread. He is a Father who does not  come to meet us this morning with merely yesterday's leftovers. Nor does he come to us with tomorrow's promises. He, first and foremost, comes to us with today's portion. A fresh, new portion of his love, his grace, his mercy. A fresh new revelation of Christ, the daily bread himself. the living w...

In today's era of plastic surgery, photoshop, and NLP.. sincerity is a rare commodity. or obsolete.. for some. those who are still sincere with their words and acts.. they are either one of those friends who don't seem to get too much attention on his fb page.. or.. those people found on Silver Lining Playbook. The other day I spoke to my brother about one of his SMU friends. my brother described this guy as a 'true blue SMU' man. I met this boy. I pointed out to something that he said in our previous phone conversation. Basically I was trying to tell him that he has not been honoring his words. He said, "oh maybe you have over-expectation on the subject.." I was like.. Dude.. don't play this game with me. Anyway so I just gave that are-you-kidding-me-smile hearing those words. Well he is actually a decent chap :) Afterwards he quickly admitted that he had underestimated the matter. That's better. You know.. why can't peopl...

Another ted talk. the guy was kind of a legend as UCLA basketball coach. Born 1910. Signed off 2010. Quite a life! :) Well I think that's what being 'coach' should really mean. And here's the Coach's pyramid of success btw.

things have come full circle (or cycle? my English skill is getting worse). the first property sales that I transacted was dated 2009. the client was one my precious batch 5 friends. now some of them have moved on to buy their second or third properties. some are about to sell the property they first bought. there is this.. dunno-how-to-describe feeling.. when I think of that. how the same property that they bought thru me is now going to be marketed for sale. some old birds may have gotten used to such things. but for me.. I still find it.. you know... And I am glad knowing that they could make good profit out of it. i went into property not because i am talented or passionate about sales. but i love.. the idea of... finding and buying houses. it's like the holy grail for my family for many, many years. there is this newly renovated house in front of our beloved stroberi road apartment. i just loovee looking at that cozy house. and i thot.. one of these days i...

one day.. you will run out of excuses. and i will run out of reasons. one day.. we will run out of theories and words to quote. one day.. only honesty will do.
