Lundu...its all coming back to me..

My family & I decided to make an impromptu trip to Lundu beach this afternoon. It's been quite some time that I haven't visited the beach there. There's no reason why I should stop going though. Now that there's a bridge. Not like last time where we had to queue up for the ferry & we had to rush home lest we miss the last ferry.
So we went to the beach. Ma, Gene, Khira & I. Dad went for golfing. Joey had some function. Chris was somewhere at Lundu...having GB camp. She jealous!
While playing around with the waves, I remembered the time when I was in primary school. How my bro Gene, my cuz, Bujang & my aunt Sophie would go swimming so far out from the shore & we'll go venture to the next beach. Crazy right? I remembered the sea condition was harsh but yet we were fearless. Come to think of it, really God was watching over us. When I saw the waves, I got scared. Didn't dare to go too far. Again, I thought. What were we thinking back then? There's a lesson that I learnt. I need to have a childlike faith in my relationship with God. Cause a child's thinking is simple. The kindy song is playing in my mind right now. "My God is so big. So strong & so mighty. There's nothing my God cannot do. "
After we finished, I decided to stop by Siar Beach. This place is really nostalgic. Went for CF camp for 4 years in a row at the same venue. Oh yes. My school's CF had been using Siar Beach as their official camp venue. FYI, signs & wonders happened at Siar Beach during one of the CF camp. Where purportedly God revealed Himself to the students & their teachers through writings & drawings in the sky. The event happened around early morning, bout 3 a.m. The lodging place where we lived was so run down. So sad. However, there's a nice small resort in front of it. With a cafe & swimming pool. Yes, swimming pool!! The place is nice too. I like the deco.
So we went back around 4p.m. As we passed by Lundu town, another thing that striked me was the roti bakar which we love & adore when we were young. I wonder whether that particular kopitiam is still around. Ahh..the taste of the melting kaya & butter in my mouth. Its coming back to me. And the smell of the charcoal roasted bread. Heavenly!!

Credits? social standing? Is it?

Image
As the year 2012 is coming to an end, I find myself having to make this decision...either to stay on or leave an old post...either to pick up a new post, which is a new thing/role for me. My superior said this to me when I conveyed my intention to leave a particular post. "He said: Don't leave. Its good for your credits & social standing." He has his point but is credits & social standing all that matters in life? I get that credits & social standing is important & all. But I just don't think that it should be the SOLE consideration. So, in coming to my deliberation, the essential point of consideration for me right now is this: whether it is my passion or not? Is it worth fighting for, taking into light my believes which is tied in to my passion. So I chose to take up the position whereby I can make a difference. Where it can benefit me & the public as well. Its time anyway..for me to give back to society. I've been thinking as well a...

Book spree & CD Spree!!

Yesterday, went gift hunting at Doulos. Supposedly to be gift hunting, nangga2x, bought stuffs for myself. Hehehe..... So at Doulos, I bought 3 books. 1 book is a gift for my coming X'mas party. 2 books for myself. All for RM24. Stinking cheap right? If I buy these books at the local bookstore, it'll cost me somewhere around RM25-RM35 per book. Yeah....dirt cheap. When I thought I was done with my book spree, I came across one section of the ship where they have an offer. 4CDs + 1 doulos bag for RM20. Or 3 books + 1 Doulos bag for RM20. Wowsers! How can I resist!! Off I went & managed to grab 4 CDs. American made CDs are of good quality man. One of the Cds that I picked was a Christian rock group called Decypher Down. I stumbled across this band while I was copying songs to my MP3 player from my bro's PC. I like what I heard & I always wonder how is their full album like. Needless to say it rocks & when I read throught the lyrics of 'Breathe Again', I...

Recap of 2009

I'm trying to recall what happened to me in the year 2009. Let me see: There were 2 deaths in my family. I lost a beloved uncle and a nephew who died a few days after he was born. Ironically, both of this dearly departed are of the same household(granpa & granchild). I attended 3 weddings. 3 of my cousins got married. Sadly, the first wedding I attended, ended sometime 3/4months later. To think that this only happen in Hollywood. I met an important political figure: The CM of Sarawak - yup, in the flesh! I made new friends from Singapore, Indonesia & ...Sibu. Such a pleasure. I went travelling with friends to Miri. Cool! TCC finally moved out into a premise of its on. I was made a partner this year. Woo-hoo.. I went travelling with my family members & relatives to KK. Splendid! Went street carolling. Never was a fan of choir but what do you know, I like it & yes! I wanna do this again next year & I can't wait!! Surprisingly, I decided to do an open house for...
