Lunch with God

A story to share with you people......


A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies and a six pack of root beer and he started his journey.


When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman. She was sitting in the park just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old lady looked hungry, so he offered her a Twinkie. She gratefully accepted it and smiled at him. Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered her a root beer. Again, she smiled at him. The boy was delighted. They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word.


As it grew dark, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave, but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman, and gave her a hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever.


When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, 'What did you do today that made you so happy?' He replied, 'I had lunch with God.' But before his mother could respond, he added, 'You know what? She's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!'


Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home. Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face and he asked, 'Mother, what did you do today that made you so happy?' She replied, 'I ate Twinkies in the park with God.' However, before her son responded, she added, 'You know, he's much younger than I expected.'


Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Look what the Arabs are building...

The whole building has been completed.

Notice the size of the palm trees outside the building.

Tthis is in the middle of the desert.

The very HOT desert where temperatures can get up to 120 degrees.

Unbelievable!

But true!

Behold!

Now you know why petrol is £1.12 per litre for unleaded?

So they can ski in the desert!!! Chikoshu!!

Watch your ……….

Several years ago, a preacher from out-of-state accepted a call to a church in Houston , Texas . Some weeks after he arrived, he had an occasion to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him a quarter too much change. As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, 'You'd better give the quarter back. It would be wrong tokeep it.' Then he thought, 'Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter. Who would worry about this little amount?

Anyway, the bus company gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a 'gift fromGod' and keep quiet.'

When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, and then he handed the quarter to the driver and said, 'Here, you gave me too much change.

'The driver, with a smile, replied, 'Aren't you the new preacher in town?
''Yes' he replied.
'Well, I have been thinking a lot lately about going somewhere to worship. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change. I'll see you at church on Sunday.
'When the preacher stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole, held on, and said, 'Oh God, I almost sold your Son for a quarter.'

Our lives are the only Bible some people will ever read. This is areally scary example of how much people watch us as Christians, and will put us to the test! Always be on guard -- and remember -- Youcarry the name of Christ on your shoulders when you call yourself 'Christian.'

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

I'm glad a friend forwarded this to me as a reminder. So, I choose to forward it to you - my dear friend.

May God bless you; I pray that you are having a wonderful day!If you don't pass this on to anybody, nothing bad will happen; but, if you do, you will have ministered to someone.

The Will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not PROTECT you...

Stay FAITHFUL and Be GRATEFUL!

God Bless.

Pardon me for lack of update. Boku wa sabishii desuka? :P

These days, I have been up to neck at work. I was not in top form to blog due to fatigueness. How I wish weekdays passing quickly so that I can relax and take rest on weekends to get rid of work work work from my mind. Don't get me wrong that I am whining on this. I am pretty content with my work :P I just wish that in my life I could win a huge contest with prize of fabulous trip or something like that so that I could travel far for a rest :P Oh ya speaking about it, I have joined Proton's contest regarding naming MPV. I tried my luck. Seeing that the contest has closed, I see why not share my suggestions for names as per below:-

1. Proton Perwira
2. Proton Vienna
3. Proton Ezona
4. Proton Sxxxxs (pardon me for privacy reason :P )
5. Proton Pernoza
6. Proton Maestro
7. Proton Neovu
8. Proton Sassv

Only 8 suggestions that I could think of. I didn't feel like cracking my brain until felt dizzy at times. Quoting the source as per below:-

"The Proton MPV Naming Contest is now closed and Proton says they received a total of over 251,000 entries, or about 11,000 a day consistently. A team of professional auditors have been appointed to audit the selection process and the winners will be notified sometime in October 2008."

Gosh....251,000 entries have been submitted! I guess my chance is very slim. Sighh...Good grief!!...Chikusho!!..Keepin fingers crossed!!....

On different note, for those who fond of Sushi King, there is a RM2 promotion coming back in East Malaysia for the period of 20-23th October 2008. I just heard this info from someone. You can bring a maximum of 5 people only with you. This is applicable only to sushi (rice based) on all coloured plates on the kaiten belth exclusing Tsunami(appetizer) and Handrolls. Remind yourself that you should not waste food unless if your tummy cannot stand bearing too much weights :p Cikgu garang Lucy and Panda Qussie, don't summon me a fine on this lah. I am not well-off yet loh :P

Itadakimasu

Last saturday night, I went out with Cikgu garang Lucy and Panda Qussie to Richmond Place for dinner. Too bad Madam SW couldn't join us due to her departure to Australia for rotation trip was due prior to the date of dinner. I should have told her to skip her departure after Raya season but alas she had decided departure date macamlah she desperately travel to Australia non-stop so-called. Nuff said.

Lucy was being such a nice girl to treat us dinner for she robbed cash from someone else being granted Sept bonus from government. All right, I must admit I summon her a fine due to her bonus :P But alas, we ended up choosing Richmond Place for its cheap pricing in Kuching due to her tight cashflow.



When we got there around 7pm, seems like there were many people occuping the two units of restaurant. After all, it's such a famous restaurant which serve western food at affordable price. So that figures. We ordered chicken chop. It costs RM8 only. Not bad. As for the taste, it is greatly nicer. Quite passable. They nodded in agreement too. Apart from that, we also ordered coleslow for dessert. We teased to each other catched up about what have we been up to. I molested Qussie's cell phone to take photos for my blog. Yes yes, I have no digital camera though. What more to say my old cell phone which has no built-in camera. Is there anyone who is willing to donate a digital camera to me, please? I am just pulling your leg lah :P




The portion looks small in the photo. The photo is just deceiving only. It is fulfilling that I am kinda full.

They forced encouraged me trying to eat some pieces of the dish.

Behold! They are both generous and better than Madam Alice easy-going and fun type for teasing and joking.

They forced encouraged me repeatedly to smile when being taken photo. Alas, I hated it. Hate a hole space among my front teeth. sighhHH....Good grief! Nuff said.

Many thanks to Lucy for the treat. It was a cool evening. We look forward to next dinner gathering for catch-up!! Don't summon me a fine so soon lah, okay!

Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah

Have you ever heard of it? For those who are book addict, I believe you may know it. For those who have no idea, it is all about Adeline Yen Mah was born in China. Her mother passed away two weeks after her birth and thus Adeline was considered to be a source of bad luck by her family.
Her father remarried a bastard Eurasian woman one year later. She was half French and half Chinese and hence divided the Yen family into two different classes. Adeline's father, stepmother and their two children were the upper class, whereas Adeline and the four other step-children by the first wife were considered second class. In short, being raised up as second class in her family, she encountered many tough times, which is a very touching true story.

You must be wondering why am I talking about this book. In fact, I am not into reading book. After all, my command of english damn lousy reading hard english is just killing my brain. I only used to like reading comic books when I was teenager. When I was in Melbourne in April 2004, at my cousin's place, my cousin's daughter Casandra showed me the book. At first, I doubt I would read the book but she strongly recommend me to give it a try and hence lent the book to me for the time being. One day once I read some first pages of the book, I couldn't help feeling like tears low. I realised Adeline was not as fortunate as us. Such touch feeling made me curious to read next and next pages until surprisingly I managed to finish it albeit the book was thick.

In short, Adeline's story made me appreciate whatever things I have in life and hence I shouldn't take this for granted. Adeline was absolutely tough. I hope I can be tough and be better myself in my life. Special thanks to Casandra for recommending this book. For those never get to read the book yet, I recommend you to give it a try. This book can be available in MPH bookstore in Malaysia.

I have no much malay friends but at least got a few. Hence, I would like to wish Zarina, Salawati, Azu, and Bibi.... All the best for you all! Enjoy yourself and have a great time of celebration! Cheers.
