Birthday? CNY? Valentine's day? Sunday?

Friends and relatives have been telling me, I got 3 in 1 celebration this year on the 1st day of CNY. Oh well, it's special indeed. Someone commented that, the Valentine's day and 1st day of Chinese New Year only happens once every 59 years. I am sure, quite sure that I won't be celebrating the same 3 in 1 occassion and celebration again. hahaha...

Well, it's a special day indeed and obviously, some people do remember my birthday, some do not. Some choose to celebrate with me before and also after the actual day instead as everybody has to go back home for dinner on 14th of February 2010. A friend had lots of fun counting how many greeting she received on her birthday and I found her 'counting process' fun too and so, I did ever thought of doing the same thing. But, I gave up after the eve of Chinese New Year as many has greets me as we have family reunion dinner, and we had video conference with relatives over at Australia and elsewhere, apart from Tawau. It is funny that I stop counting almost immediately as it has become impossible to count.

Oh well, after the church service, I sent my parents home while I went to pick AC up from the Rectory to send her to airport. Just before I park my car, IC called, asked where I was and when I arrived the entrace of the rectory, I saw about 8 youth lined up, greeted me and while I walk inside, they start signing a birthday song to me. Goodness, ... so embracing... as Rev. Victor Leong and family and, AD John and all were just there, laughing and greeted me.

Oh well, it's a great birthday. A birthday I celebrated with mandarin oranges then cakes. hahaha.... oh well, I went out for a movie with friends. I received a cake on the 15th evening though... my favourite bitter sweet chocolate cake. What can I say? For the first time, I ate so much from a big cake. hahahahaha..

Well, seriously... besides it's 3 in 1 occasions, or 4 in 1, it's just any other ordinary day...

Job or Career?

A job is a regular activity performed in exchange for payment, usually as one's occupation. A person usually begin a job by becoming an employee, volunteering, or starting a business. ... the series of jobs a person holds in their life is their career. [Wikipedia's definition]

Career, as defined by Oxfort English Dictionary as an individual's "course or progress through life" (or a distinct portion of life). It is usually considered to pertain to remunerative work.

This question has seriously again raised in my mind as I am considering of whether I should just work for others or starting my own career. I remember an interviewer whom I ever met told me, "if you need a job, this is not a place for you. But if you are looking for a career, you may want to consider working here". Seriously, I will never forget that phrase, ever since that day, I have been wondering, if i am looking for a job or a career. It is not difficult at all to find a job and work and get paid. But is having a job is enough? Can that job sustained me for the rest of my life? Or do I need to start a career now .. for me to plan for my future? I guess I am not stuck with not having a job. I am stuck with not knowing what to plan for my future.

Speechless?

This is another 'speechless' post in my blog. Just that this time round, I am made speechless because of uncertainty.... as if, God has shuts many doors and left a few which I has never thought of. Oh well,... if the question of whether I should go full time is what you are to ask me, my answer is, I wish it is, but God says NO, or rather, NOT YET! Oh well, at least, ... God has shuts that door for now. So, you asked... 'what then?' Oh well... I seriously have no idea. hahahahahaha....

As I was pondering over things, I read the front page a rector wrote where he said, it could be a spiritual warfare and the evil one, loves to challenge the leaders/shepherds in all areas of their 'success'. Oh well, I am not a successful lawyer, both in fame and in monetary terms, but... I guess because I am one of the spiritual leader, hence, the evil one is going my way... well, first, they love to use christian leaders who are not very spiritual to harm me, now, job. I wonder what's next... I am not only speechless, but also not knowing what to 'think'.

I urge you therefore, to pray for me. First to put down my hatred towards those who harm me (some of you and God knows how much I can do to harm them back if I want to), and also to be able to find a job in which I can serve Him at the same time.
