Compromise...

The word, "compromise" exist in my mind since the day I was forced to do things that I shouldn't do in this Law firm, "J". While I was driving home yesterday (27.02.2006) from Kuantan, my friend (a lawyer) and I had a chat about what really makes me resigned. I told her that it's because of the attitudes and characters of the partners instead of "the matter" itself. But my friend said, I shouldn't compromise to "the matter" as well if the problem of attitudes and characters of the partners weren't even exist. I guess she was right. I shouldn't compromise to "the matter" no matter what. Firstly, it's not pleasing to the Lord and secondly, it really goes against my principle.

Since then, I had fear to try other firms. I went for an interview this afternoon. Suprisingly, the firm althought they are looking for people urgently, but they seems very ethical because they said they will not do that kind of matter.

Today, many firms called me for interview. I quoted my expected salary as good as what my previous firm offered me, but to my suprise, the firms were saying that my expected salary is a bit too high. Hmm... I am not sure if I should compromise in that. I know the amount that I am asking for it good enough for me to SURVIVE. It's not going to make me rich.. it's merely for me to survive. If I compromise, i will get a job, but I will not be able to survive. haha.. so, the word "compromise" again appear in my mind...

Friends are asking me to check with other firms and I guess I will find out soon in the following 4 interviews. hahaha... Yes.. all of them replied to my application and I am going to attend another 4 interviews in the next 2 days. Hopefully, one works and I can start work on Monday (6.3.2006). There's one which I wish to get in and the interview is scheduled on this Thursday at 3pm. I hope this one works, really...

Driving Attitudes:

I am not sure if anyone of us is being taught of having a good attidues when we drive. I saw the advertisment on TV today and it's all about drivers' attitudes. Well, ... I am sure the government realise about the lack of good attitudes of all the drivers in this country. One of the good example is, ...

I saw a motorcycle hit a car and fell down. The motorcycle driver got up and went to the car, open the car door, shouted at the car driver (lady) and ordered that she parked her car at the side. I was shock, because I saw him hitting the car and he did damaged the car. But I guess he knew it's his fault but he saw that the driver is a lady and that he shouted at her. What kind of attitude?

I am still don't really get how the government is thinking. Why not making one lane for the motorcyle instead of letting them slipping out from all over the place? Shall we continue to "compromise"?

My church, FCC is going to have a prayer meeting tomorrow evening at 8pm (Ash Wednesday). Everyone is encouraged to attend (we don't use force) and I was asking my cell leader who is coming for the prayer meeting, etc. And she told me, some thinking of whether to come or not to come. A friend even used the excuse of 'see how thing goes' when I asked her whether she will join the prayer meeting. There and then, I was asking myself... can I "compromise" and not joining the meeting? ... hahahaha...

I guess I am stubborn in some way...
I can hardly compromise with things that is 'incorrect' in my own dictionary.

A Trip!!

It was last night that my friend called me to ask if I have anything to do today. I said no and here goes the trip for me today.... to KUANTAN, PAHANG. hahaha....

My friend called at 4am this morning to woke me up and to get ready. I got myself ready, pick up my medicine and went to Kuantan with her this morning. This is the first time (may be only time also) to Kuantan.

Ops... don't get me wrong, my friend and I were not there for FUN... we went there because my friend has a matter in court this morning. BUT... after the court matter, we did hang around in Kuantan for a while... hmm... guess what? ... we bought a kites and we tried so hard to make it up to the sky. That's noon time and it's HOT but trust me, I had lots of fun and it does cheers me up.

While I was in Kuantan, I received a few phone calls. Not very sure why EVERYONE is calling me today. hahaha.... but yes... some asking me for transcript, some asking for interview, etc. etc.

But one thing I really thank God was.... my eyes closed while i was driving and it almost hit the road block and crashed and die. hahaha.. but thank God I woke up ...

Hmm... yup. I am very sleepy and tired now....

Forgive me ... z z z z z z z z z

Memories...

I just came back from a gathering with this brother who is leaving.

This brother was given the opportunity to share during today's (26.02.2006) service and he said he has been here, in KL for 6 years. I was shock (or rather couldn't believe) by the statement he made because it was still fresh in my mind the first moment I saw him. I still remember the first day he arrived in KL and the first time I met him. It's in my house (staying at Sea Park then). The chinese worship team were gathering in my place for a BBQ and it was 31.12.2000. We (Chinese Worship Team) spent the whole evening until the next morning (1.1.2001) worshiping and singing. I still remember, we ended up at the most expensive mamak store next to Sunway Lagoon Hotel at 2a.m.

6 years has gone through just in a glimps of eyes. I can't believe it when he mentioned it this morning. He also said something about he being left alone with another brother once when everybody in the cell group left for studies and how I helped the cell group, etc. Yes, I remember I was assigned to take over that particular cell group then and I don't really know this brother at that time. I still remember after my studies, I will join a sister and a brother to play squash in the Condominium next to the cell group premise and right after that, I will changed and join the cell. There were so many issue about the cell group after that and later, I was assigned to supervise other cells instead.

Well, I remember a few years ago, where a group of us decided independently to join a mission trip to Mauritius. It was that time that I knew this brother better. Together with the brother and sister who play squash with me, 4 of us were being called "4 big King of Heaven" - sei dai tin wong.

Till last year, by encouragement by this brother, I went back to worship team and took up the courage to play the Bass guitar again. I did try to learn more, but the work loads I had last year were killing but I am still keeping up.

Last year, the whole church is putting their focus on this album called "Purpose". It is an album with all the songs that's composed and sing by this brother. And I just happy to be part of it, though I really didn't do much except happen to be around in Tawau and KK while a group lead by him were in Sabah for mission.

This memory will not be easily fade away and to continue with my last blog about losing memory... I guess I do not want to lost this part of my memory because knowing this brother is one of the blessing from the Lord.

As this brother is leaving tomorrow (27.02.2006) for a greater mission, I wish him all the best and be faithful to the Lord till the end.
