Smile - Nat King Cole

This song is very uplifting:

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile eventhough it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

In God I Trust

If you had The Star newspaper dated 23rd June 2007, turn to the BizWeek section and you'll find the title What Dad Taught Me. It talks about how these different great businessmen have their dads as personal mentors who would teach them about the business world. It's really a great blessing to have a father who can teach his children about business skills.

Among them is my role model Tan Sri Francis Yeoh. He has a dad who could teach him about business, while he himself is also a dad teaching his daughter about business with addition to his own business experience.

It occured to me. I don't have a father who can teach me about business. I don't have a father who can talk to me and influence me in the business world. Because my dad is not a businessman, and thus have very little or no knowledge about business. None of my ancestors was businessman. So how in the world did i get this passion about business?

It occured to me again. My passion for business did not come because i wanted to be rich. My passion for business did not come because i wanted to. My passion came to me as a result of God's gift of giving towards me. God was the one who put this passion within me. Mainly because God has given me the desire to finance God's work and to play a big monetary role in the establishment of God's kingdom in the future.

So do i have a father who can teach me about business? Do i have a father who can influence me in business? The answer is NO!

But i was reminded again that, God was the one who has given me this passion. God was the one who put within me the desire in business in order to finance God's great work in this world. Therefore, do i have a father who is expert in business? Now my answer is YES! My Heavenly Father is the one who will teach me and influence me in business, because He was the one who gave me this passion, and He should be responsible for my path and equip me with knowledge. This is a great challenge for me. But i should be even blessed because eventhough i have no earthly father who will influence me with business skills, but i have a Heavenly Father who will be my personal mentor.

So, In God I Trust.

Signs...

Songs nowadays are pretty useless and meaningless. I don't really like the music nowadays. Don't really like the genre as well.

Instead, i prefer oldies, like Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, and also classical music.

I don't know why, probably i'm getting old. LoL

Earth vs Heaven

Earthly law : If you confess your sins, you're charged and sentenced to jail and penalties.

Heavenly law : If you confess your sins, you're forgiven and set free.

Nuisance

Life is a journey of experiences. At some different points of this journey, there will be people who will dislike you, and most of the time for no apparent reason. It's really irritating that this minority group of people can actually make you feel unease and give you sleepless nights, depending on how much the hurt they create.

We can't control what people would think of us. Why do we let nuisance affect our lives when we have done nothing wrong? It's really unnecessary to be worrying all the rubbish.

Beckham and His Mini's

This is the first time the Beckham and mini-Beckhams get to walk on the pitch as the Spanish Champions after 3 years.

Beckham Sr. : Kids, this is the first time you guys get to wear the jerseys on the pitch with daddy. Walk proudly, eventhough your dad didnt really play any big role in the victory. *sad smile*

Beckham Jr. : It's ok dad. You still have the looks, which i don't think it will last long until you reach your 40's.

Beckham Sr. : Come on son, your dad is the most handsome guy in the world. That's how i made my fame on the pitch. Will you be with daddy to the end of my football life?

Beckham Jr. : Don't worry dad, i will cut a few inches off my left leg just like you, and be the best set-piece taker like you too. I will play for Man Utd, Real Madrid, and i will end my career wearing the ever proud....errmm....what's that name? Oh ya...LA Galaxy.

Beckham Sr. : From this day forth we will wear this...

Grrrr.....

Searching for information on the web is definitely not an easy task, especially what you're searching for is so abstract and subjective.

Spent long hours searching for information.

Stressed. Brain burnt out. Not very productive.

One Day....

One day passed means one day closer to assignment deadlines.

One day passed means one day nearer to stepping into the market place.

One day passed means another problems of the day would come.

One day passed means getting older by one day.

One day passed means more responsibilities are loaded onto our shoulders.


~~~~~~~~~~After a little pondering~~~~~~~~~~


One day passed is a day closer to the coming of my Saviour.

One day passed is a day nearer that i can be in my Heavenly dwelling.

One day passed is another new experience with my Lord Jesus.

One day passed is a new beginning of another chapter.

Unsought

What i planned to achieve by today has not been achieved.

This is really frustrating.

Things have to get better. I pledge to make things better.

Sports Disastrous Weekend

What was going on with sports over the weekend?

First - Rafael Nadal beat Roger Federer in tennis. It was really unthinkable that Federer lost! How can you Mr. Fedex? I was hoping that you beat that Spaniard fellow.

Second - Ferrari only managed to get 4 points in the Canadian GP! and that Hamilton boy is going to be the next Schumacher? Dominating every race? Please say no. I would love to see someone stop that Hamilton fellow.

Third - FC Barcelona were on the verge of being one step away from the La Liga championship! But only to find out after the match that Real Madrid also drew. What a "steam-cutting" for the defending Spanish champions. But i prefer Real Madrid winning the Championship than the Catalan fellows.

So, last week was really a "potong-stim" moment for the sports field. Well at least to me. What i thought would happen didn't happen.

Music

I am not very a music person. But i can't deny the influence and power of music. Music sets the atmosphere to our soul. How many of us have watched a sad drama and cried? Many cried because of the music, not because of the lousy acting. Without music, life would be so monotonous. But music adds rainbow to our lives.

Sometimes when i feel sad and down i would just turn on a sad song and listen. Sometimes songs squeeze the tears out of my eyes. *embarrassing* But i still thank God for this wonderful element that He has put into our lives.

Pak Lah to wed!

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi will be married to Jeanne Abdullah! Ok not much of a publicity on this. Only told the public few days before the wedding. Getting married after not more than 2 years of the passing of his wife. Okay something i'm suspecting here. Jeanne is the housekeeper of the PM residence. Sure bodek bodek abit lah! Some more the wife passed away already, and he's the PM of Malaysia. Nice try Jeanne. But anyhow, congratulations Pak Lah!

Regretful Confidence

It's better not to be too sure or confident about something, until you make it public and everyone knows. Something might happen in the future that will make you change your mind.

Recently i just did something that i was so sure i wouldn't ever do it. *slaps forehead*

Something Only Life Teaches

If we're sensitive enough, our life journey always brings something new about us that we didn't even know ourselves. Life teaches us who we really are.

As i reach to the university level in my life, i found out that, i actually like work. Not to say i'm a workaholic, but somehow i prefer doing something than not doing anything. I don't like the feeling of sitting at home, watch tv, eat, and sleep. But i enjoy the assignment adrenaline and pressure.

I always look forward to a new semester, mainly because i look forward to doing assignments. It's weird of me, but i just love the challenge, the pressure, the force that keeps me thinking, and doing, and thinking, and doing.

So i'm making sure that i do well in my assignments, and treasure every minute of doing assignments with my wonderful group of members.
