Don’t bargain

Thursday, September 29th, 2005

We bargain for everything, for cheaper items, for lighter workload, for lesser homework…Its interesting when i read a passage yesterday..

This passage talks about sins and self-control. Whether we are Christians or not, we are tempted to sin every minute of our life. Ya we’ll probably say that we’ll be able to control ourselves, or "I know my limits" that sort of thing,But the truth is…We shall never bargain with our moral values, never bargain with our conscience, and most of all, never bargain with our faithful God.

Remember this, :

* Drunkeness started with a single sip.

* Sexual immorality started with flirtations in the office or college.

* Unforgiveness started with a small little misunderstanding.

Think about it, it’s never worth it to bargain for some temporal satisfaction, only to risk giving up our own values, conscience and relationship with God!

feel a bit cloudy today, like today’s weather. Not so much of shine but not raining either..just..cloudy,.Arh… i’m going to finish my training soon! hmm..in another 2 months time actually. Attended some seniors convo the other day. everybody’s so excited! by God’s grace next year’s my turn! this is my 3rd year in ukm already..time really flies..many things happened this few years.many people walked in n out of my life, some are just passer-bys, some had a long stay, some went off n carried on their journey of life, some bid farewell n went to heaven…but each of these faces remain close to my heart, deep in my mind. with the tsunami, hurricane n stuff being the highlights, we really are UNCERTAIN about life. you wouldnt know whether you will wake up tomorrow n live. we just couldn’t predict.yet in times of uncertainties i assure you  my friends, God is always the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. With this assurance, dont lose heart on anything you do. PUSH! Have a nice day!

CHANGE..what a powerful word..might b scary to some ppl, important for some n maybe means nothing to some. Life is changing everyday..whether u like it or not..i havent been sleeping well this week. fren having problem, another leaving for studies in overseas, work, family matters..everything is just consuming so much attention and time. Thank God that He’s with me..

I’m going thru a huge emotional struggle earlier.dealing with the situation that someone close to your heart is going to leave soon is really..difficult.just 2 months ago the news that my dear grandma is having final stage cancer broke me down.its just so sudden n there’s no signal at all and when we got the hint, its already final n there’s nothing we can do.i know that everything is in God’s wonderful plan n i trust Him that He knows best.But i just have to admit that i asked, Why, why she has to suffer like that? seeing her thinner and thinner, unable to walk n eat, losing hope towards life…all these are heart-breaking. suddenly i felt so lost n useless..i dont know what can i do to lessen her pain and suffer. once i sat beside her bed while she’s sleeping, i looked at her face,i prayed for her, and i just couldnt imagine her leaving me soon. all of us in the family especially mum and her siblings are sad but everyone is holding their tears, patiently doing each part in giving their best to take care of her…

Adw left malaysia finally. glad that we decided at the eleventh hour to bid him farewell in KLIA. it might be our last meet if i’m not staying in KL either for studies or work next year. we didnt really know each other. serious! but i’m glad to have the opportunity to learn from these ppl.too bad we failed to make him cry.but we did gave him a surprise! just that,this bunch of kampung kids took some time to figure the way to the Carpark B…hey brother if u happen to read this,..Enjoy yourself in UK and all the best ya!do update us with your news!

Yesterday i went to my company’s QIT(Quality Improvement Team) Convention in Sheraton Subang. it was an eye-opener.with all executives n me as the innocent trainee, i really learnt a lot, exposed a lot n listened a lot..chatting with my MD is something i never thought i would do during my training.n one significant thing from the convention is the sharing from our guest of honour - Datin Paduka Sharifah something…dont really remember her name. she’s the first ever Asian-Malaysian FEMALE to cross the south pole in RECORD time!!she has buried a time capsule there, and when we ask what’s in the capsule, she challenged us to go n bring the time capsule back if we want to know.of course the challenge is opened to all, but she mentioned "especially MALE". yesterday was indeed tiring yet fruitful. the theme "Quality begins with me" has also placed some things in my heart. Truly. it begins with an individual.
