Lossing wisdom

Last week, I went to extract one of my wisdom teeth. The operation take about half an hour but the experience last forever! The wisdom teeth sat at lower right jaw and so difficult to pull out that the doc has to section the tooth into 3. It is really a big 'construction' to go through, and although numb, can still feel the pressure of pulling. Bye bye my wisdom... tooth! That's what friends of mine has been telling me, i am down with 1 wisdom. hahah......

Thank God that the operation went very well, i don't have much pain after that. I stick to my normal diet, no porridge, just to chew them into very small for every bite of food. It is a week now, and will remove the stiches this coming Thursday. Again, friend, if you are going to dentist to do removal of wisdom teeth, my advise is that "RELAX" and leave the work to doctor. THey will do the best for you!

Freedom of Speech

Normally i don't buy newspaper. But i did last saturday nite and found out there were news about this talented Chinese who 'modify' the songs of our national Anthem. To avoid harrassment and troublesome brought towards him and his family, his father actually requested him to apologise in public. I don't know why this has come into newspaper, but don't we wide aware that internet is a WORLD WIDE WEB and that is where the freedom came from? To me, freedom of speech belongs to Americans - i think they have maximum capacity for freedom of speech. To us in this country, doubt arised. Afterall, we had to recognised that we are 'limited edition'. I left a comment in namewee's blog (the author of that song). For him to get the space for all his talent, stay where he is. As soon as he comes back, the space became limited and even 'prohibited'. I always uphold 'no complaints no improvement' - to an individual, a company, and even a country; listen to all the complaints and not avoiding all the complaints. Why Japanese is so good and so confidence today in making cars? They treat complaints preciously and seriously. Good complaint helps to grow and not to destroy.

I felt sad for those who are talented yet not to be seen and found. How many are there that still suppressed by the evil?

Looking for surviving skill

Recently has been in touch some long lost friends and seems everybody is so much enjoy being in corporate world because of all the freebies and all the benefits inherit in the corporate culture. The good always folded with bad thing. The things i always see through is when you got all the luxury, be appreciative; when you don't have all the luxury, then you work harder to earn it. I have been in small company most of my career life except now. So to me, everything looks luxury, even to search for a humble heart is a challenge. Agreed by my circle of friends. We started to see the neccesity of surviving skill in a corporate world. Mean to say, reality is we got to shield ourselves whenever and whereever. Shield is for protection, not for pretention. I always forgot to put on my shield for protection. I am the kind of person that tend to forgive and forget. And therefore i started to think if i was left behind in this corporate world. A layman that know nothing but try to earn the credit by hardwork. How much is it to be done? HOw much is it that not done yet?

By character, i think i fit well into the corp. By way of getting things done, i think i need more kick start as is totally different models of mechanism to learn by. For my friends who are like me in this corporate world, are so well trained already to fit in with aspect of capability. Surviving skill is indivualistic, and should be discovered by personality and mentality. A person with more of observance may have a better structure of surviving skill than a person who just work to earn more.

Finger story

Last weekend we had our division teambuilding in Lumut. It was a sunny day, real hot and we were running around that get the Quests done. Unfortunately i hurt my 4th finger tendon during one of the activity. That activity required a bunker shot which to hit the golf ball out of sand area. Although this type of golfing is always practiced at driving range, but at that moment i felt the pain in on my finger. I got my nerve out of it on one of the hits! Gosh, my finger was shaking because of nerve losing, and i still have 3 balls to go. With lip tight and hand stabled, i finished all the hits and scored 7 out of 10. I am satisfied with the result but not can't justified the pain from my finger. At that moment i felt bone fracture on my right fourth finger. The experience was painstaking! For the rest of evening and next day my activity level dropped a little due to the inconvenience of my finger. The pain escalated to the point where it pricked on me just to open my hotel door. I got problem with taking shower as well, packing my luggage as well.... everything just to be slow moving......

That nite was a nite mare. I got no oilment to apply but just apply some soothing balm to relieve it. I could not sleep well, woke up in the middle of nite and read my bible. I prayed so hard that God will heal my finger and don't let it broken. I went to bed after finish 1 chapter in James, and still praying hard for healing and for peaceful sleep. In the middle of nite, this was where the pressure came. I can't differentiate the reality or dreaming, but i know i saw something clearly in front of my eye - a furiated lady with wide opened eyes, stared at me without blinking. I was histerical, and i sat down on my bed trying to clear my mind. I keep the verse which i just memorize 1 John 4:4 - Greater is the one in my heart than the one in the world.....Thank God! the tension was relieved - both from my injured finger and also from my mind and surrounding.....

After came back to hometown i visited a clinic and the doctor look at it just like small matter. I told him my finger cannot be straightened, and without a warning, he grabbed my hand and 'straightened' it for me. I screamed out loud. Out of my expectation, this doctor said no bone fracture (without examine the condition or x-ray) and he gave me oilment and pain killer and said i am done! With all the doubts in my head, i just trust he is good doctor and a no-liar. If the condition doesn't improve for the next 3 days i should go for x-ray...

Up to today, my finger is a lot better and recovering at amazing speed! Although still feel the prick on nerve while typing now, it is definitely improved then last weekend!!!

Lessons to learn:
1. Trust has to be simple and child-like --> and i prayed hard for God's healing
2. always remember 1 John 4:4 whenever you encouter spiritual warfare or uneasy surrounding
3. Trust God to bring peace in your heart

Wrong lane for a shortcut

I was queueing up for traffic light while approaching my office. The farthest left lane is for left turning only. There was this car who just stop at the line when the light turning into red. I was right behind this car so i soft honk to signal him to turn to the left. At the moment i saw him glanced at me from his back side mirror, and ignored me. I figured he probably wanted to go straight direction and not knowing this is left-turning only lane.I flashed him with lights for couple times again and hoping he is not blocking the traffic behind by turning left. And he ignored again, and from his back side mirror i saw his expression on the mirror as if I am one of the road-buster. His face showed annoyance. At that moment i felt the urge to get down the car and tell him don't ever give this kind of look when he is on the wrong lane for a shortcut in a queue! I am a bit frustrated. He looks 40+ years old guy and i suppose he already had the driving license more than 20 years. Can't he even read the sign or follow the arrow on the road correctly?

I can understand people trying to cut queue or shortcut always for a reason. And i did the same sometimes. But cutting queue at the expense of blocking of traffic is a no-no case. People need to understand when you are trying to do things in a different way, one should not bring the impact on others. The public should not bear the cost of when you try to do things differently. In this case, i really want the guy to know that his annoyance is offensive and not respecting other road users.

But at the end , i didnot get down the car. Just wait till the green light and the car go straight and i turned left. I told myself that God forgives me and so I forgive him also.

James 1:19-20 "...Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires."
