Experienced (big) Miracle (again)

Picture speaks the miracle

i like when someone ask me,

"How do you managed to change industry?"
or
"How do you get this (current) job?"
or
"How do you managed to change industry??! i tried but i never get that" <- like the most, but i can't answer this question, as i assumed this person was expecting answer on how well i did to get the job. NO! i didn do anything nor how well am I but how wonderful is God!

Before i answer, i always have that kinda wander look, rolling my eye and smiling. I don't prefer to explain from the time i seeking job until i got over my interview, that's just a process which is quite boring. Instead, i wanna say "miracle" and thanking God in my heart.

Since I started working in my current company, whatever that i've gone through is obviously reminds me of what i was searching for, thinking of and wanted.
i just got to know what actuary do last year, KB told me actuary earn a lot but is hard and it takes a lot of effort to become an actuary. I was wondered what they do and makes them earn a lot (i was eagerly to know all kinds of job as i was planning to change job), then he roughly said something to do with maths. i was like "what??" i like maths a lot but never know what job is related to maths. So i research on this career and even plan to change to this industry IF i'm allowed to.

This is the note i prepared when i wanted to go to UTAR to find out more Actuarial Science but ended up going back home. It's impossible to let go my job and start a course from the beginning (there is no part time course for actuarial degree). Some more the degree can't guarantee a job for me after i graduate. My colleague told me nowdays a lot of fresh graduate can't find job, because the "supply" is more than "demand".

i'm grateful to God for what He has done in my life. it's all began from KB. On last year, KB suddenly started a conversation with his brother (all this while they seldom talk). He asked his brother if there is vacancy for admin job (something that i can do) in his company and he said yes. =D
after the interview, only then i realized my department is actuarial department. =D
after i working sometimes, i realized i (think) can take exam and even claim for exam. =D

"...With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible."
Mark 10:27
"Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart."
Psalm 37:4

the most grateful thing is how i experience God through this incident, not only providing this job but He is leading me in my career. there shall be part 2 on how i gone through all the difficulties with Christ. =)


* wanted to write this post for long time, finally i got the time. =p

Chic Pop 6 + Miracle

As I was heading to chic pop after breakfast, the sky was actually getting dark, it's kinda freak me out, cuz i can't miss this bazaar as this bazaar is the most expensive bazaar i've ever joint, and i plan to clear my old stocks. Thus, i prayed...

The picture speaks the miracle, there was nice weather through out the event, and was super crowded. visitors were here and lined up for registration even before the event starts. the amount i earned on that day equals to total of 3 days i've earned at MOFEW.

I nearly miss this bazaar as there was no reply from the organizer, cuz i late giving confirmation. at the end, they called me up for payment. =)

By God's Grace

Is been a while i've not blogging.. i was busying for my job then now is for my online boutique, i'm getting into it and like what i'm doing, and thus much effort and commitment has putting in.

I really thank God for what He has done for me, for my blogshop, all this while, my blogshop is been reviewed by online fashion reviewer whenever there is new arrival or sale or promotion. but this time something is out of the norm. i received an email from Remaja about 2 weeks ago, only 3 short sentences of email:

"Hai I’m fara from magazine REMAJA. I ada feature your online butik dalam REMAJA tau..jgn lupa beli k!"

my respond was: "wth.. dun understand" i think my bm is bad, gotta read again. then i was like.. -> >_<

can't believe that! i quickly reply with my joy to this editor of Remaja (i guess she is) and she even bought her favorite dress from me. haha!!

I wanna thank God for this is because there are plenty of blogshops, and many are more famous and unique product than mine but I was picked! nothing but God's grace.

Thought of the Day 2: Change

i really never expect i can change so much since yest, n i nvr expect i wil experience God in such a way.. normally changes/breakthrough take place is during a conference or a church camp, something like that, but tis happen during sunday service. 
surrender, being holy is all i need to do, i cried, i shouted and i shake, how long will i b shaking, it nvr stop, repent, quickly repent, surrender, quickly surrender.. a touch tat i nvr experience b4..
n now i know i'm changed, the peace n joy flowing in me, i cannot worry, i cannot sin anymore.. at least should do wat i know.. sins is what God cannot accept at all, i felt the resistance of sins, it is so conflict to holy..
right now, i dunno wat is gonna happen when i chose to be obedient, surely blessings will be overflowing.. but will i lose something while the blessings are on it's way?
i need u to walk wit me as i'm doing wat is right, n not seeing me differently as if i'm wrong..

Good Opportunity

i really never expect i can join chic pop street market, it's an happening bazaar/street market in town, when i was informed that response from vendors have been overwhelming, i need to wait for reply which i know i wont be have any chance but i was already happy, at least they revert back to me and take me into consideration cuz people who joint this event previously are famous or special online seller that sell unique fashion items, and is hardly to be able to join as vendor. Anyhow, they manage to reserve a booth for me, tis is really an opportunity to build up my business.. =)

Able to join threadzoo bazaar, as well as chic pop 

2nd Bazaar with Miracle

tis is really a miracle...

i joint a contest of getting a free booth in a bazaar, n i got it. when i reach there, it's a shop lot at The Strand, Kota Damansara, the place was quiet, i think it's a new building, n most of the shop lots are empty, i was thinking, "how would this place able to get good business??" anyway, i got the booth for free so nvm..

looking at the banner, it's held at 4th floor.. @_@ i told myself "nvm, free wan, it doesn cost me a lot, just take it as an experience to me" said in my heart.. after a while, the place is like a home, we were chatting among the vendors, n talking to each other how bad is the place (cuz no customer), the organizer oso felt guilty for not doing promotion, cuz it was a sudden decision to do b4 christmas.. if can, i wanted to bring down all my stuff n sell it at ground floor, cuz how would there have any people know there's a bazaar up there? however, i prayed to God, i dun care, wit human, things r impossible, to God, all things are possible, i wanna achieve this amount of sales..

miraculously, in the afternoon, there were people coming in, some were vendor's fren, some were walk in customer, n they bought my cloths! my sales were kept raising up, while other has no sales at all.. wau.. n i sold out more cloth than the first bazaar i joint.. thank God~ ofcuz at the end, some of the vendor did sold out some cloths, but not as many as mine at the time when i pack my stuff and go home..

God Bless the Faithful One

normally i dun write others' bday in my blog except mine but tis time i have to write something bout her for wat my sis has done, n how God prepared everything for her..

today is my mum's bday, as usual, we either go for fine dining or giving her present.. for my dad's convenience, we went to The Ship at KL, which is near my dad's shop.. abnormally, the road to KL from our hse was SMOOTH, not congested at all, we reached there within half an hour.. my sis was amazed why the road so smooth, normally tis period (after work) is very congested then my sis said, "God really bless those who r faithful.." God prepared the way for my mum's bday dinner..

err.. dun ask me y my mum smile like tis, i've no idea..

the food was good, everyone enjoyed their meal.. tis restaurant has existed for ages, i can see they didn do any renovation to modernize the place, it's classic, i prefer like tis, just remain as it is wil b nice..

i didn take my dad's pic which is looking at the camera, but only eating.. =p

after dinner, we went n see my dad's shop, since we were there dy and we nvr been there b4.. there's a story to talk bout my dad's business but i lazy to write it, n better not to write, if not i'll be caught by ISA, oops!

my sis suggested to buy bday cake for my mum (here, i need to acknowledge her, she is a very family-minded person, she care for family a lot, she wil think of ways to show appreciation to her family) then i suggested a cake shop which has very nice cake at Taman Desa, the shops there always congested with cars and human, is hardly even to do double parking or just simply drive across the road, so again abnormally, we found a parking just slightly infront of the shop.. God prepared a parking for my mum's bday cake..

ok, the best part is here, after we went back home, her good daughter (older one) suggest to play guitar for her bday (oh my gosh..) so she find chords n play..

i think she was praying..

one "fei cai", still wan mother to serve.. keke..

Busy With God

recently quite bz (which is good) for 2 jobs, 1 of it have to sit in wit director most of the time during edit.. at first was quite nervous, cuz the director looks very experienced, setting high requirement and he said he expect good quality work during first brief, not cheap cheap wan, then he shown us his showreel, after seeing his reels, we were like........ err... anyway, not to judge his work here..

so after working wit him, he is fine in person, n we were cooperating well, job was approved n today wil b doing audio final mix..

and another job is web commercial, the agency actually a bit fuzzy, but so far everything was fine, not much changes after first preview, client was easy going, she leave it to our expertise..

all i wanna say is God has been watching over my career, i know recently some of the things i did wasn pleasing God, and i was thinking if He stil listen to my prayer, but i didn care so much, i know i need Him, no matter how, i'll pray n leave it to God.. i prayed to b like Joseph (Gen 39), i need God's presence wit me, n everything wil b prospered wit His presence..

"casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you" 1 Peter 5:7

Something I Shld Know??

1 of my bro has been missing in action (MIA), didn come to church since last week due to his own personal prob.. i'm not youth leader (anymore..) but i just have the urge to reach out to him, yet i do not have much idea of wat shld i say cuz i dunno the whole issue bhind it.. so i just encouraged him wit wat i shld say (tat i think i shld say) over fb and email.. posting tis not only for him but for those who are doing the same as him.. here it goes..

xxx,

i dunno wat happen to u, and i dunno y i feel tat i need to share with u something,

when my sis was very young, she was very active (may b hyperactive, not surprise), kinda hard to control, even in church, my mum didn wan my sis kacau other ppl in church, so she decided not to go to church anymore, she tot may b when my sis grow up then only cont going to church. after some while, my aunt visited my mum, asking y she didn come to church anymore, after my mum explain, my aunt said tat my mum shldn skip church bcuz of tat, they can pray for my sis, once my aunt explained to my mum, suddenly my mum was like realized something and has been awakened. so from tat time, my mum nvr skip church since tat incident.

if my aunt didn visit my mum or my mum stil dun wanna come to church, where wil b me n my sis? bcuz my mum back to church, the whole family is serving God n church rite now and being a faithful christian, bcuz of tat, God's blessing is overflowing in our family like a river.

i wan u to come back to God, commit ur problem to God and let us pray for u, u shld be the light in ur community who reach out to God and the ppl in need, u shld b the one tat encourage ppl who has fell down cuz u know who is Love, where can we put our hope to and who is our source of everything, and tis is wat i see in u all tis while.

i dunno how serious ur case/problem is, or the problem of others, until u wanna skip ur church? or even wanna let go christianity? bcuz of God's love, u r given the privilege to choose watever u wan, but i tell u, u r not afford to lose God. 
atleast 1 month ago when i see u, u were so on fire, but now u look so upset n discouraged. why? shld it be the way?

everything wil come to past xxx, dun run away from God if u did, i wan u to cont do wat God wants u to do, be perseverance and receive the blessing He has for u, most importantly, ur salvation.

God loves u and
He really does..

Y Yan..

* i used to have such mind set which is letting go my relationship wit God, due to some problem happen to me which i think is not fair to me, but at the end, i didn dare to do it, cuz i cant afford to lose Him, i'm nothing without Him - My Lord..

** pls pray for him..

A Date

i'm so 幸福 tat i no need to drive to office yest, monkey fetch me, cuz we going out for date at nite (as usual), i dun wanna drive back home so late after date, so we decided he fetch me to office, it was a lovely morning i had..

the lovely moment is not end yet, at nite we had dinner and shopping at one u, we joke, we tease at each other, even we got nothing to say, but the moment is so sweet n short, n out of no reason or may b there is but we dunno, we miss each other a lot..

when we on our way back, his tire punctured, actually was more than punctured, it's cracked at the side (not sure if it's the rite word), it's spoiled badly.. so we stopped n changed the tire, we didn panic, we figure out how those tools work, thank God there was a taxi driver passby n help us to use the tool, within 1/2 hr, we changed the tire.. mm.. i was proud of myself cuz i help changing tire, i didn stand there, as wat a gal shld do? i did help n we work things together.. i think tis is considered sweet moment.. (romantic as well? yeah rite, just the beginning, i cant imagine if tis happen a lot, i'll stil think is romantic..=p)

n i did admire him cuz he didn show temper nor angry nor something, everything happen calmly.. =)

after tat, we went back to his hse n spent the rest of the time together, n tis was our date yest, to me, it's sweet n memorable..

i seen you under the bright sky

leave ur smell on me until i see you tonight

a kiss of us not to say goodbye

but a promise of returning back to your side

* i love you baby monkey..

I'm Protected

when i was entering my office room tis morning, i saw broken glasses all over the floor..

"who broke my room glass? it's window glass? someone broke in??" thinking in my heart..

but the window glass is stil fine, then i traced the glasses, it was from the picture tat hang on the wall which is infront of my desk, it fell off! it's kinda big pic covered wit glass thou.. the hanger was broken, tat's y the picture fell down, i really wonder y tis pic suddenly drop which was hanging there all the while..

michelle told me, luckily it fell down at the mid might or when i was not around, if not i'll kena the glass when it fell down, cuz the glass flew everywhere even on the desk.. but i know is bcuz of God, He protects me from the glass, there is no luck in life, i've been praying for His protection over me n my family's life..

b4 tis incident, i was thinking things n ppl around me, i felt tat i'm so blessed, i cant list down all the blessing here but i know God has been pouring out His blessing over me, my family, my career, my relationship, my life n so on.. to non-christian, they wil b seeing tis as luck, "i am a lucky gal, receiving blessing without putting much effort" in chinese is 红运当头, but i'll say not by wat i've done, it's by God's grace, i am who n where i am now..

Dun Pray Pray

i realize God has been so faithful recently, indeed, He is faithful, is how we put our faith in Him.. i've been skipping prayer meeting many times due to work, so tis morning i prayed to God tat job which i'm handling can be done early today (which is quite impossible, cuz today shoot, then edit and present tmr), so tat i can attend prayer meeting (normal a bit la, always work meh). so when i reach office tis morning, i saw my producer and head relax sja, wearing as usual (not shooting look), then i ask my producer, michelle,

"today no shooting meh?"

mich: "cancelled.."

me: "huh? then tmr presentation how?"

mich: "dunno.."

so, it's postponed..

"God, the way u answer my prayer quite straight forward rite??" said in my heart..

* so tonite i must attend prayer meeting, no excuse!

Stressful Sunday

sunday nap is veeeery precious to me, i will rather take nap after church instead of going anywhere else..
just like last sunday, i was like a floating body without soul, i lost to my sis and kah heng for bowling, i have to say: "i'm loser" (x3) -____-## and i forgot to take my parking ticket after i paid. i ran to the auto pay machine which was quite a distance from where our car stop, while i was running to the machine, i prayed to God tat person wouldn take my ticket, i dun wanna pay extra money just bcuz i left ticket in the machine, and i need to spend a lot for coming months.. suddenly i heard a voice, "a moi, awak tinggal ticket kah?" i look at the car, the driver took out a paid ticket, "ya, saya punya, trima kasih, tq!"
i was so relief n thank God, He kept the ticket in a kind person's hand and i able to meet the driver...

* wong kah heng has no compassion at all, when i back to the car, he said "good la u, get to play bowling and jogging"
yeah rite!

Clock Wise or Anti-Clock Wise

always rmb when u take out ur car tyre, you shld unscrew it anti-clock wise, like how u open ur mineral water bottle, or open ur water tab.
just really dunno y last week after sponspor sponsee (something like cell group for new believer) and yam cha, while on the way back, my sis' car tyre punctured, we all (me, my sis, shelly, jin sun and andrew) tried our superb best wit our tyre punctured experience to unscrew the tyre CLOCK WISE! we called fren for help, see if they have any equipment to unscrew it, CLOCK WISE, 2 of us even jump on the screwdriver, CLOCK WISE (we thought y the screws were so tight, it must be screwed wit driller).. -_-
thank God shelly called her dad for assistance, her dad said, the back tyre shld be anti-clock wise, where the front one is clock wise, dunno y it's diff direction, but it' really works! -___-##
while on our way back home, after we realize many things r open in anti-clock wise, all of us felt so tak puas hati, how can we insist to turn clock wise, nvr thought of the other way round, we were so "smart"..

* sometimes we thought we know everything but sometimes we dunno wat we need to know..

Wisdom from God

a testimony from my sis (not mine), is very encouraging though..

this morning, while having breakfast with my sis n mum, my sis told me she was "not smart" when she was very young (not good to say stupid k? so is "not smart"), no matter how my dad teach her, she stil cant understand, even a very simple maths question, i ask her why? she said she oso dunno, just cant understand, unable to pick up wat has been taught.. so she prayed, prayed, prayed..
"God, give me wisdom"
"God, give me wisdom"
"God, give me wisdom"
as my mum always teach us since when we were very young, pray to God for every needs, n He hears us. she prayed everyday. kids prayer is always simple yet faithful, pray without doubt..

now my sis is under Shell company, nvr deny that she is a fast learner, smart, very clear what she is doing rite now and faithfully serving God, can see that God has done great things in her life n using her for God's kingdom.

after she told me this, i asked her:
"why suddenly tell me this?"
"......"
before she answer, i said:
"u think that u r very smart now?" (in chinese: 因为你觉得你以家好叻？)
"bwahahaha.... yeah, that's wat i wanted to say!" she said
"......" *speechless* -____-"" she's always so confident..

however, is good that we reflect back the source of blessing, wat God has done in our life when we received what God has blessed us..

look at her face, know how confident she is..

Poor Wira

while on the way to work last friday, i felt something wrong, cuz the air-cond seems like not working, i felt warm in the car then when i look at the "heat meter" (i dunno wat's tat called), it increased and almost reached H.
"oh no..." said in my heart, cuz my car broke down b4 which resulted of no water in the tank (水滚)
"God, i commit tis car into ur hand, bring me safely to my office n bring me back home safely, then i'll bring my car for check tmr, i believe u'll take care of it, amen.." i whispered..
the meter stil high at the H
and the car seems like didn listen to me, it slowly stop on it's own
then totally stop infront of one of the traffic light, n the car started smoke
"ish.. how?" then took up my hp, 2 hp, 2 hp oso no credit!
"ish.. cheap grace.." blaming on myself
"how? where am i now? public phone? any shop around?"
"God, pls help me, send someone n help me.."
so i left the car on the road, go to the houses n borrow phone, first few hse no ppl, until a hse, i press the door bell, a lady came out, she refused to allow me enter her hse n borrow phone by saying no phone at home, then i told her my car was there, i need to make a call, so she went in her hse, bring her wireless phone n made a call for me.. my dad..

[fast forward]
car cold down, i slowly drove to road side, open the cover, few indians came n help, meter dropped, then my dad came, the foreman came after my dad. n my car was towed.

"God didn listen my prayer? y stil happen?" i asked
after some time, i begun to see how graceful He is, in fact, He sent a lady to help me, wat if i simply enter a hse which dunno wat kind of owner is in? i can make call outside the hse.. God sent some indians to help me.. my dad able to come n help me cuz he was so bz, but only last friday his schdule is lose, he didn blame me for not checking my car regularly, thank God i didn immediately open the cover after it broke down, my dad said it wil raise up the heat when the air goes in then the front wil burn.. the whole incident just took 1 hr++, not too late reach office, n was not rushing any job..
everything was just under God's protection, n i know i was not alone when problem occured, God nvr say we will not face any problem in life, but He said trust God for everthing for He cares. somemore tis was caused by me, cuz i didn listen to my dad, to check the car regularly..=p

look like i have not pay for installment, n kena tow..-_-

Another Miracle

i found my office key!! really thank God for tat, i cant lost the key as i've resigned from my current job, i cant just leave my company by losing my key.. i was praying tat God will review to me where's the key.. haha.. 1 tot came into my mind, "rmb i've used the laptop bag? i bring it to office..."
ohya! may b i kept it in the bag, n didn take out...haha..really, it's in the bag.. i can leave my company with peace...

I Got It

i got the job dy, really thank God! now i realize y God haven answer my prayer, my interview always failed, either it's not wat i wan, or shift work/work on weekend, or lack or experience. God really give me wat i wan n need, a job tat dun need to work on Sunday which is really hard to find in tis industry, my target salary, my dream job (some projects are movie, tis is my dream!) b4 i got tis job, i really wonder if i'm suit tis industry which always rush for project, no fix working hour, life tat no sun n moon, cuz my weekend is for God due to attending church, n i faced a lot of frustration wit my current status n my past. overall, i would say, the door seems to be closed, to human being, tis is very hard for christian work in tis industry. BUT God said, when His door is opened, no man can shut! to human, things tat impossible, to God, all things r possible. when we honor God, God wil honor us. rite here i wanna thank God for: when i wanna pursue my dream thou i dunno wat i like, wat is my passion, i just know tat i like movie/visual/performance kinda thingy, God brought me to SAE (School of Audio Engineering), n i met my god bro at the rite time (b4 tat i was studying business in other college). truely i enjoy my course. rite after i finish my course, i got a job, as studio engineer, i quite enjoy the work but not the company, collegue, n my producer, i made a lot of mistake, most of the things ran out of my expectation, i find very hard to work there, i was lost n depressed, am i working in wrong field? y all bad things seems like running after me? i was thinking to give up, look for other job, any type of job oso came into my mind, waitress, teacher, admin n etc. i just scared, i felt myself so useless, dunno where shld i go, will i forever lost? but deep in my heart, i was still curious on movie/video production, just tat i dun dare to face it due to many failure. anyhow, i learnt a lot in tis circular world,work n study is totally diff thing, the main thing is wil i still trust God. after i resign, my boss ask me if i'm interested in video editing, his fren's company is a video production company, if i haven get a job yet, i can go there n try. ofcuz i'm interested, but i still give myself a chance to work in audio field since i'm a sound student so i work in my fren's studio, doing sound for animation. but tis job stil cannot satisfy me, somemore need to get my own laptop to do the job so i quit n i go back for the video editing until now at the begining, i really frustrated, due to low salary n did a lot of unrelated work, but during tis period i really found out my dream n passion! i'm not a multimedia/filming student, but bcuz of passion, i could pick up the skill n done well. the more i work on it, the more i'm nterested in..tat's my dream.. God helped to see my dream. at the end, God bring me back to my dream, from studying sound till the next job, thou during the process, it seems ran out of track, but anything tat happen, has it's own purpose, u know wat, 1 of the reason i got the new job is bcuz i study in SAE which has a good reputation to tis company (new company), n i got experience in sound. so as long as we honor God, God will surely honor us.
