Be Warned!!!!

It was last year when I first arrived in KL that a friend in KL called to asked what he should do in a case were his brother received a phone call alleging that it's from the High Court, asked for details, etc. and his brother gave all the details asked. Well, a friend has called me recently telling me that the same thing happen to her father lately and I heard from a few friends that they are also receiving similar call. Together with this call, there's another call from whatever shopping mall, telling you that they are doing survey, etc, etc and that they wanted your personal details. First, let me warn you and tell you that, this is a scam.

The court will not initiate proceeding to sue you if you didn't do anything wrong. On top of that, even if you done wrong, it is IMPOSSIBLE that they do not know your details. If you tell me you want to sue your neighbour or someone, as a lawyer, by whatever details you gave me, I will be able to get all his IC, Name, address, etc... so, it is impossible that the court will call you for details.

All the phone calls are speaking in Chinese, Mandarin to be exact and hello... Malaysian... I heard you complain why court today need to use BM and with that in mind, why would you want to trust that your court has improved until they can use Mandarin or ONLY knows how to speak in Mandarin?

So, please... whoever calls you for details, ask them to request by writing with their letter head.

I seriously received 2 calls yesterday morning. One through my KL line phone and another, my house phone. At the SAME time... one from the shopping mall and another from the court (that's what they said). I heard 2 of ther versions with my own ears. It's a scam!!!!!

*********************

On no warning and cause, my left leg (not my broken leg) was feeling pain since yesterday to a point that I couldn't walk this morning. Well, it's like a pull of muscles then broken bone for sure. But the pain is irritating and ... I can barely walk. This morning, I even had difficulties driving... I almost couldn't press the clutch to the end. Whatever it is... I hope I can be home safely later. hahahaha...

Weekend Challenge

It was 2 weeks ago that I have decided to join the Medical Camp organised by the Diocese Welfare Board, Diocese of Sabah, although it was published and calling for volunteer months ago in all churches across Sabah.

The journey started at 1pm though we gathered at Wisma Anglican at 12pm. It was because I have to take photographes of their departure and also Annie was taking video of the departure of the team. We stopped by Ranau for a drink and snacks before we continue our journey to Telupid. We reached Telupid, the Valley of Blessing at about 6pm. We were all being warmly welcomed by the Archdeacon Melter Tais and his family by a small but yet very tasty BBQ buffet at the church compound. We had a short briefing after the dinner before we head to our bed and sleep.

The next day, we woke up at 6am and got ourselves ready to go to this village call Entilibon which is about 1 1/2 hours drives from Telupid. The road was bumpy but we thank God that it did not rain. Otherwise, I cannot imagine how difficult our journey would be. When we reached the community hall at Entilibon, I was shocked to see so many people were gathered in front of the hall, waiting for registration and waiting to be attended by the doctors. It was a challenge for me as photographer to go around every single 'department' to take some shots of their interesting 'encounter'. However, about 700 villages turned up just that morning and that many has their medicines picked up and went home happily. I can see how happy they were although they were sick.

It was a very tiring trip but it was not only fun, but also very meaningful trip. It was my first time seeing a tooth being extracted because it was joined with bone. It was interesting to see people lined up to get their eyes to check up because there's free spectacles to be taken home. It's interesting also to see the kids playing around, and asking for candies, etc. The people who is born and grew up in the City though they were there to so call help, but I can see that they are not used to the environment and the situation. But they had stepped a very brave step to at least turned up. To me, the villages' life is not something strange to me. I used to play around with those local people when I was younger. I get along with their lives easily as I did got around with them when I was younger. I like their food. Treasured their food and surrounding. It's sometimes weird to found out that I am really alright with their kind of living. hahaha....

Well, because of the challenge in Entilibon, I have missed a good friend's wedding. So sorry my dear... I know you don't mind because I really am not absent from your wedding purposely. You know that... anyhow, Contratulation and God Bless, Felicia and Nicholas!!!

Pressure!!

It's rather easy to give me pressure... just gave me more than 200 matters at one time, and keep on asking for the result and works and rushed me till I couldn't get up in the morning but forced myself to get up no matter how, then you are successful. But if you give me only 10 matters at one time and wanted to fulfil your mission to give me pressure, forget about it. hahahaha....

Well, this morning however, I realise that I can easily feel pressure when it comes to loss soul. There are millions, brilliant, tons lost souls in the world and and yet because of the amount of the loss souls and my failure of reaching out to them and get them to be saved, I am very much pressured. In fact, I shall say, I am very much frustrated of not being able to reach out to them and that people arounds me, also has less care of them though they know they are not saved. A cell member used an illustration last night.... imagine that you are seeing a group of people inside the burning house, would you be able to just sit there to watch them die, or at least pour some water over the house and try your best? I believe some people will just sit there, enjoy themselves and rather go shopping just like they didn't see the burning house and heard the screaming of those who are inside the house. I saw a car blocking the way of an ambulance lately. The car was about the 9th car in front of me. All of us, tried out best to gave way to this ambulance but this car, in front, just stop there without moving... caused the ambulance have to horn it for a few times, still, it didn't move. I am thinking if the driver would have thought that, the patient is not someone related to him/her and therefore he/she doesn't want to care at all. I guess, some people are this selfish. If he/she is on the ambulance, I wonder what he/she would do then.

Many Christians today are just like this. It's good that we are christian and that's good enough. Now, we are busy with other things, we will keep our faith, we will pray, we will read bible, we will go to church, we will involve in ministry, but the rest of the time, we want to use it for ourselves. Don't ask me to share the gospel to others or bring somone to Christ or church. It cost too many of my time to take care fo them. I don't even have enough time for myself, etc.etc.

Most of us, have forgotten what is the Great Commission. In fact, we just thought believing in God is good enough. This is really saddening....

I am somehow feel the pressure given me to me lately... to lead this group of people who are not only stubborn, but also arrogant and selfish. Most of the time, I really feel TIRED and Frustrated... !!! They thought the group owe by me. And because of that, they will not do anything to help nor volunteer themselves to help. They will just have this "don't care" mentality. I can understand if a non-christian is having this mentality, but I just cannot tolerant it when the mature christian (they claimed themselves matured) are doing the same. It's really pressuring when I need to attend to this group of people.
