A Brand New Beginning...

Back from KL

It was an beneficial trip... No amount of wealth can exchange from the experience I had in KL.

I learnt so much about the m'sians culture and their way of life... there is so much can be done in educating them about proper financial planning.

Some not enjoyable stuff in KL are the traffic terrible and the roads are built with no proper guidelines... one min you can turn right, the next moment you come back in few months time, it is blocked... =(

Grave mistake

Recently, I made a grave mistake for customer in one of the transaction... :( although I have repeatedly inform my assistant to write the details correctly but the mistake was made. I didn't realised the mistake until few days back.

The customer in a christian-like manner corrected me... I felt terrrible initially but I was later reminded by God that I should take the whole event positively and learnt from it.

In fact, I am both grateful and thankful that my customer was so honest with me... and I knew deep in my heart she loved me enough as a fellow christian to correct me and best of all, she reminded that I should this as a lesson for me to reflect and learn from it...

Wow... double confirmation from God...

Although sometimes, we have to leave with the mistakes of others.... I can choose to shift the blame to others or I can choose to take up the full responsiblilty... I choose the latter though it is really tough but that is the one which will build character...

I am thankful for the customer who is bold enough to correct me as a fellow christian because not many christians out there is daring enough to do that for the fear of being singled out or losing the friendship.

God I pray that you will bless the customer of mine richly with your grace and mercy~! :)

Many blessings...

The Lord blessed me so much last year and this year...

Recently, I am shortlisted in the company's reconignation awards... I didn't expect to be shortlisted because I wasn't focusing on the awards. My only focus was only to serve all my customers well.

All I know is to educate in terms of financial planning and help them to achieve their dreams and goals...

If I qualified for the awards, I know who I want to thank... God is definitely one of them. I believe my manager, WK has helped me over the 2 and 1/2 this in industry. He always believed in me and encouraged me to a higher level. Many colleagues who selflessly helped and guided me. Some partners from other branches who advised me even though they dun have to...

Jac who supported me and saw me through my initial period of learning the ropes...

God gave me so many people to cross my path to strengthen and blessed me...

Hopefully, I will be able to attend the company's trip to Oz land...

A post for Jesus

This year is one of those moments that I am not involved in any evangelistic event...

Nevertheless, I was praying for my brothers and sisters who are doing the street E in the morning before I set off for my venture into searching for a decent van for Jac's biz.

Went to the one in Turf city... the one advertised in the papers wasn't that good condition and the mileage was too high. Saw the other one which is the same model with half the mileage. The interior was well kept. Worth considering.

Move off the next one in Commonwealth which I prayed that the salesman will be honest and decent...

Reached there and saw a man dressed in bermudas... Gave a call... and low and behold... he's the salesman... (- -")

After some conservations, he is rather honest and decent... thankfully. His service was impressive. The van that we viewed was okie except the color...
Got the quotation from him and set off to Orchard for lunch before Jac meet her customer.

Guess what... we bumped into the YJ, LJ and her girls... I didn't notice them, it was only Jac who called me back that I realised that they were doing E1 there...

I'm encouraged to see the younger ones teaming up with the labourers to do the E1 though I was by then tired from running two places viewing the van...

God sees your work my dear sisters in Christ... He will definitely reward in heaven...

I thank God for encouraging my heart with the salesman, the girls and Jesus who made my day wonderful... One more step closer to getting the van...

At peace

Thanks Dor and YJ for sharing your advices. And many who texted and emailed me...

I really appreciated all your valuable words of encouragement. I did pray hard and decide to give the opportunity to Jac's frens who are also interested.

As much as I would love to go for the once in a lifetime trip... I believed I should also blessed those who can afford to go without much other committments as compared to me.

I'm at peace now... I know my focus this year is to clear as much as I can for Jac's sch fee and later on to plan for my marriage. God has blessed me so much in terms of all these...

If I looked back... I would not regret because I know my Father in Heaven had so much to give to me... I'm forever grateful to the many blessings that He had bestowed upon me.

My heart is always contended with whatever I have... each and every day of my life... I has witness His everylasting love for us. From the day, I left my well paid job in Hynix, to the day Jac decide to quit NTU to pursue her studies in design till this day when we are planning to go full pledge into her wedding business... He has looked after us and provided so many people to come alongside to assist and help us. The many resources that He gave us... We can only mavelled on His wonderful provision. I know we will look back and give thanks for everything that has happened in our lives.

We still in the midst of praying this year that we will be able to attach ourselves to some christian organization that can lead us to 3rd world countries to minister to the orphans.

Dilemma

I just received an offer for me to travel to ASEAN countries for a photography assignment with all expenses paid for with a small token of allowances for the 5 weeks trip.

It is a fund raising trip for the less fortunate in these countries but it will means I will have to sacrifice my chance of going to Goldcoast for the company trip as I will not be working for the 5 weeks while I am away for the trip.

Both of them are wonderful trip... my biggest concern is if I don't work for the 5 weeks, it may mean i will have to miss a month's repayment for Jac's sch fee...

How... Hmm... it's one's in a life time trip... :(

To go or not to go... all these in the midst of me planning to get a van for Jac's company... Haiz~! :(

Any advices from my friends out there?
