Something Worth Sharing

An Angel says, 'Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.'

1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4.. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.

5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places

9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns . If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety .. If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.

13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut).. This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
15.. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.

16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough rest
18. Eat right.
19 Get organized so everything has its place.

20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.
21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray.
24. Make friends with Godly people.

25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good 'Thank you Jesus .'
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).

31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your ego
33 Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
36 Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before. GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU.

'If God is for us, who can be against us?'

(Romans8:31)

TT Player

2009-08-30T11:36:00.006+08:00

I was using TT player version 5.1 to play songs. But recently donno why it couldnt display all the chinese characters. I didn't have time to update the player until today. Haha..love tis holiday. Not only finished watching my favourite korean drama but oso can get all my things done. I found the download link at
http://www.joshuatly.com/ttplayer-53-stable-version-released/
This is the 5.3 version of TT player. The latest I guess. Maybe most of u know this program and r using it. But to those who hv no idea what is it, u can try it. To me, it's the best media to play songs.
This is how the new skin look like. The previous one was in black in colour. I guess this version allows us to change the skin. But I donno how since I cant read in Chinese. If u know how please do not hesitate to share.
It reli easy to use tis program. Juz drag n drop ur favourite songs to the list of songs. Then double click on the song. It will automatically download the lyrics in juz a few seconds.
Right click or press the shortcut key 'F' so that u can sing songs like karaoke.

It is a program developed by China but it has no problem to display both English and Chinese songs. Enjoy...:)

Had a tiring day..Attended LDP course organised by the school. The activities were making garbage enzymes at Chi Hwa, visiting Sandakan Mile 8 rubbish site, going to plastic factory at Sibuga and Canopy Walk at Sepilok. Learnt a lot..Overall, satisfied with the activities. The rubbish site is not as bad as I imagined.

Rubbish site...Not so bad huh? Still bearable..

Well-equipped..Making the best protection against odour and the burning sun

Lectures on plastic..Do you know that the mask u wear is actually a plastic?

Myth of Mask

2009-08-03T17:45:00.003+08:00

I was not really sure of what was happening today..Students and teachers wore masks to school. A lot of students are sick and went back home. Many were thoughtful as they wore masks to prevent viruses frm spreading. But to some who wore masks and kept in contact with the surface of the mask, there is no point wearing it. When you are wearing a mask, you are not allowed to touch any part of the mask. Germs might gather there. If you want to remove the mask, get a piece of tissue to help you. Then wash your entire hands thoroughly with soap and water. For those who have very little knowledge about masks, I hope the below article can help you.

To me, there's no wrong to wear masks but rmbr to avoid contact with the mask. And no RECYCLE pls...It is a disposable mask! Use once only...

Prevention is Better than Cure!

2009-06-26T18:29:00.010+08:00

Currently we are all bothered by this Influenza A (H1N1). We can't tell when it is going to strike us as the contagious virus is found in almost every part of the world. So each and everyone of us should play our part to boost our immune system so that to prevent the flu. Below are some suggestions that can be done by all of us to reduce our chances to be infected:
1. Virus is mostly found on our hands. So wash your hands as often as possible. Washing your hands using water will not be able to remove the virus from your body. You have to wash your hands using soap and water. But you can't bring soap everywhere so the best is to get a bottle of hand sanitiser which is alcohol based to wash your hands. Ironically, when the hands are clean the virus on other parts of the body will reduce as well (scientifically proven).
2. No viral medication is better than your own immune system. So do everything that you could to boost your immune system. Drink plenty of warm water, eat fruits of different colours (to obtain different vitamins), sleep before 11pm and do some exercises.
3. Wear masks at airport or when you are on board. Air-condition room has poor air ventilation so wearing mask will at least filter the air that you inhale. Don't bother what others think about you when you are wearing it. Wear it for the goodness of your family and yourself.
Doctors predicted that this pandemic disease will affect us for at least two years time. Let's pray hard for our family, friends and relatives so that they are always virus-free..

How Did I Come To This Profession?

2009-05-15T09:34:00.014+08:00

I got to know that some good ex-students who deserve for scholarships but didn't manage to get one. Some got it but their minds are still troubled whether they should take it. Every year the same thing happen to students. I understand it is reli not easy for them. I undergone all these so I know these pretty well.

After my form 5 studies, I made up my mind to study Form 6. I knew that there was no other way for me as my family couldn't afford to send me to college. My ambition was to be a pharmacist. I saw JPA scholarships application form in newspaper but I didn't apply it as it was not a popular offer during my time. Most of us were hoping for Yayasan Sabah scholarships. I got A2 for my BM so I didn't get d Yayasan Sabah scholarships. However, I received scholarships offer from England Optical. I wanted d scholarships so badly. At d same time, I got scholarships offer from Yayasan Melaka. Then, I got offer letter from UTM. UTM juz offer me PTPTN (loan) . I struggled so much to make a decision. Finally, I took UTM offer to be a teacher. There, I got my KPM scholarships. I used to envy some of my frens who have good n professional jobs especially those who didn't bother to study. Things were unfair to me. Now, I feel grateful for d path that I chose. Despite the work load, I love teaching. Teaching wasn't my ambition but God knows better. If today you aren't sure about your future, do not worry. Have faith in God. And He shall show you d way.

Again!

2009-05-04T21:46:00.005+08:00

Yea, again! I'm sick again! I went to Tawau on Labour day. Alex gave me a lift to thr. We started our journey at about 5.30a.m. Halfway, we stopped at Jeet Li, a vegetarian restaurant in Lahad Datu to have our breakfast. At about 10.00 a.m I arrived at Rev. James Wong's house. I had an enjoyable time watching at d iguanas which are reared by his son. We had lunch together. Then in d afternoon, I, Jessica, Sow Ken and David went to shopping in Eastern Plaza. Tawau has a new shopping complex. People in Tawau r so rich. Their houses r so big n d designs r nice as compared to houses in Sandakan. I guess tis is d reason y we still do not have a shopping complex in Sandakan.
After d shopping spree, we went to eat sate at d roadside. I had forgotten that I'm allergic to oily food. Tat night, Sow Ken had a stomachache. But I was still fine, my health still in tip-top condition. Early Saturday morning, all of us had breakfast together in a popular pork mee restaurant. D mee was quite oily as they used pork's oil as gravy for d mee. My nightmare came when we went to church. I had headache. When d matrimony was about to start, I felt d waves in my stomach. I went to toilet but couldn't discharge d wastes. I was afraid. I knew if this persisted, my intestines would cramp again. It didn't take long to prove that my intuition was true. I suffered acute pain in my abdomen. I could even feel d heat in d intestines as it swell up. I was dizzy at tat time. Luckily, Caroline helped me to find a church member to give me a lift to d nearest clinic. D doc suggested to give me an injection but I rejected. I insisted to have pill instead to relieve my pain.
Then, they sent me bck to d bungalow owned by pastor's friend. I rested on d bed helplessly. On d bed were a lot of ants. I was bitten by d ants. In and out, I went to toilet frm about 11.30 a.m till 5.00 p.m. I couldn't figure out how many times I went to d toilet. I took painkillers but enable to ease my pain. I'm lucky to have thoughtful friends like Caroline and Ah Man. They bought me isotonic drinks as I faced serious fluid loss.
Many church members came to visit me. They suggested me to move to Kingston Hotel which is in d town n near to Maxim Restaurant (place where d wedding banquet was held). Luckily, Ah Man has GPS handphone so he gave me a lift to d hospital. Siew Yee and Ms. Yap accompanied me to hospital. I didn't need saline solution as I wasn't tat dehydrated like last time. The staffs in d emergency ward of Tawau Hospital r reli bad if compared to Sandakan Hospital. They r slow n irresponsible. D doc asked me to go home n rest. He promised to give me a call when my urine test was out. But he didn't. D stupid him even asked Ms. Yap to buy me KFC to eat. Can u imagine a doc like tis? How can I trust him?
D next day, Mr. Vun gave me a lift to Tawau airport. I went home via Mas Wings. Only 7 passengers in d fokkel that can support 50 passengers.
On Monday morning, I went to c Doc Thien. He asked me to avoid oily food n dairy products. My diarrhoea subsided, but I still can feel d waves in my stomach. To Rick Warren, life is a series of problems. To me, my life tis yr is a series of sickness. Haih...

Green iguana in action!

Chocolate Lover

2009-04-24T17:56:00.006+08:00

I have given up on sweets to take care of my teeth. But chocolates r irresistible 2 me.

I got these fine chocolates frm Felicia on Easter Day. Couldn't eat them until 2day I assumed my body should be able 2 take it. Nice..love it!

Illness Phobia

2009-04-21T12:09:00.004+08:00

I have changed my lifestyle a lot after my sickness. I eat more fruits (at least three types a day), drink plenty of water, sleep before 10.30p.m and take friendly bacteria pills. I hate d sickness I encountered. Hopefully, all d heaty food i ate during dinners frm last thurs to sun will not cause my sickness to come again. Next week, I have to go to Tawau for another wedding banquet. A lot of dinners 2 attend tis yr. Probably tis is a gud yr.

Unattended Sickness

2009-04-12T12:35:00.007+08:00

I have been sick for such a long time. I promised myself tat I would c a doctor after Easter Celebration in school. On last Sunday, I had fellowship wif a few BK teachers in Citiclub. I was coughing badly. On Monday, ignoring my sickness I worked as usual. I felt tired and drowsy. I planned 2 c a doctor in d afternoon. My plan was in vain as I took my nap n overslept. As my sickness deteriorated, I went 2 c doctor on the next morning. After seeing doctor, I had my medicine n rested at home. When I tried 2 wake up from my nap at about 2 pm, I couldn't. I made a few attempts to open my eyes but failed. D virus must had gone into my ears. I lost my balance. Everythg was spinning. I was so dizzy. I had tis experience b4. I knew I couldn't do anythg. At night, I tried again. As expected, everythg still spinning very fast. Wif d help of my mum n sis, I managed 2 sit on my bed. But I felt nausea. So I vomit. Though it was disgusting, I had my meal so that I could take my medicine.
It was then Wednesday. Words couldn't describe my happiness when I could once again open my eyes and came out of my bed. My body coordination still bad but at least I could walk. I tot my torture should have ended. But it was too early for me 2 judge. After I had my lunch, I felt an acute pain in my stomach. I knew my intestines cramped again. Bcoz d pain was unbearable, I vomit for twice. I went 2 c doctor again. My face was pale n I was dehydrated. In and out I went into d patient's room. I was given painkillers 2 ease my pain but it was of no use. I vomit again. I was then asked by doctor 2 do a urine test. I couldn't urinate. My body was dry. Without bothering that I might vomit again, I drank a lot of water. Very little urine I managed 2 get. I waited for d result. Wat a relief when everythg was NIL. But I still had 2 b admitted 2 hospital bcoz of d serious water loss. I admitted 2 d medium emergency ward at about 5pm. Sitting on a wheelchair, the staff thr helped my way to a room. I was asked 2 do urine test. Oh, God! Not again! I told them I couldn't. So they decided to do my blood test first. A nurse inserted a needle into my left hand. Ouch! First attempt failed. Then another more senior nurse did it. She inserted the needle into the side of my right hand. I could see clearly the needle beneath my skin. My blood was very viscous. It was about to clot and the colour was black. Bearing the pain of the needle under my skin, I watched my blood flowed out drop by drop very slowly. Very little blood they managed 2 get frm me. Three big bottles of dilute sodium chloride solution were flowed into my blood. Only then, I could urinate. I discharged frm hospital at 2.00p.m.
Then early morning, i reviewed my sickness at Clinic Thien. He asked me to finish my medicines. I went home n for d whole day I slept. Then it came Good Friday. When I wanted 2 get out frm my bed, I was very dizzy. I fell n hit on my head. For d whole day, I suffered frm bone pain and a bit headache. As I was lying lazily on sofa, Rev. James, his wife, Alex n David came. I din expect their visit as they must b very bz preparing 4 d church service at nite.
On Saturday, I went bck 2 work. There were things I wanted 2 get them done! As I was still weak, I went home halfway.
Tis morning, I drove d way 2 church. I shouldn't actually as I was still drowsy. Now, I'm getting better. Keep perspiring. Probably becoz I'm still weak. When I was in d midst of sufferings, I received many messages n calls. Thanx everyone that cares! I will walk out of my sickness!

Easter Celebration 2009

2009-04-03T17:29:00.006+08:00

I would like 2 thank everyone who spared time 2 come back 2 sch 2 witness d celebration. Not forgetting, those who prayed hard for d celebration so tat it would be a great success. My greatest gratitude oso goes 2 Ms. Yap, Rev. James, church workers n all d students who worked so hard for d celebration. I'm very happy wif d weather today. A bit windy, not raining n no glazing sun. Wonderful weather. I would say I love all d programmes today. It turned out much better than rehearsal. Seeing d efforts of students reli impressed me. All d toil n sweat r worthy. Our biggest hope is messages were delivered thru tis celebration. We r not worry. We have done our best n no regret. God will do d rest!

Anticipation for Tmr

2009-04-02T23:18:00.003+08:00

I'm sick. Gotta c doctor after d celebration. I think I had enuf troubles today. I can't even number it one by one. They r juz as abundant as my blessings. Ppl failed me but God didn't. I feel I'm strong when I'm weak. May everything turns out fine tmr. God will make a way, I believe. To all the glory b to God in the highest.

I'm exhausted!

2009-03-31T18:21:00.004+08:00

Everythg is still in mess and chaos. Accusation arose frm students. Didn't they understand tat we r doing tis for d sake of God? Y argued? Haih... We don't have much time for more practices. Only TMR is left for d rehearsal. Students r only allowed 2 do their practices after recess. Lack of commitment and understanding frm XXX reli discouraged me. Tired!Tired! I'm reli exhausted!

A Token of Appreciation

2009-03-30T21:50:00.003+08:00

2day I got tis frm two students of mine, Hannah Kwan and Esther Kwan. It's reli a blessing 2 have gud students like them. Good in academic n attitude. May God continue to shower His blessings unto these two gals.

BB and GB Annual Dinner

2009-03-29T20:18:00.003+08:00

I was too tired yesterday 2 write tis down. Now I'm having a bit headache. Will sleep after I finish writing tis. We were having our steamboat at Sail's Cafe. I donno whether it was because of Earth hour or coincidentally no electricity at tat time, we had our steamboat in d dark. It was difficult for us 2 knw if d food was cooked. I had never been 2 tis place. I would say tis place is not bad with its seaview. Luckily, in town area we still have places like Balin n Sail's Cafe. If not, I believe tat Sandakan town will look like a haunted place with nobody there. I had wonderful fellowship with d BB n GB teachers. We took some photos before d fellowship ended. I can't wait 2 c d photos in facebook.

I'm not Alone!

2009-03-27T23:10:00.004+08:00

Sometimes as d only Christian in d family,lots of hardships are inevitable. I felt d drag 2 walk d path all alone. However, gradually I realized tat I'm not d only one. Many are like tat. If there is no first person to know God in d family, other members of d family wont b able 2 enter His kingdom.

Serving God

2009-03-23T22:49:00.003+08:00

Every yr as we prepared for Easter Celebration, we encountered problems. Tis yr things r nvr easy on us. I'm sick. Poor Ivan got dengue. Dance is not ready. Sinn lost his voice. Ann is worrying where 2 get stuffs 4 d sketch. Juz hope d best for d celebration. May Lord be with each n everyone of us.

The Attitude of Faith

2009-03-15T12:25:00.000+08:00

Luckily I attended d church service today. Kudos to Rev. James. D analogy he used was so good 4 me 2 understand d faith in God. The sermon was quite boring at d beginning but when he used d runner Roger Bannister as an example, i found it was so interesting. He was the first runner who managed 2 run a mile in less than 4 min time. Many tried before him by all means but failed. After Roger, many other runners have d faith tat 2 run a mile in 4 min time is actually possible. So they made it.

I love d scripture for tis sermon too. "Be careful how you think, your life is shaped by ur thoughts" (Proverbs 4:23). We r what we think above all.

Wisdom Tooth

2009-03-14T18:23:00.001+08:00

Had my first wisdom tooth removed. It came out quite easily without much pain. But it took a long time 4 my gum 2 stop bleeding.

Facebooking and blogging

2009-03-14T07:21:00.000+08:00

Woke up early today. Suddenly I feel like I wan 2 write something. Don't knw why I hv changed so much recently. I become an avid facebooker. Now blogger...D world is changing. I was worrying how 2 educate d next generation. They express themselves so much using all these channels. I myself hv 2 change 2 understand them more. Teach me Lord. Help me 2 use these channels wisely..Help me 2 live a life which is according 2 ur way. Lord, I'm going 2 share my faith in u here..Amen

PTK

2009-03-13T23:05:00.000+08:00

PTK is juz around d corner. i don feel like i wan 2 read. i hvnt been reading 4 quite some time.

The changing world

2009-03-13T22:53:00.000+08:00

Never thought of blogging.. My schedule is tight. Hardly can fork out my time 2 on9 or blogging. However the world is changing...I have to change.
