A poem inspired by a visit to Tanjung Lipat.

For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,- 1 Timothy 4:4

Rusty.. it's been awhile I last wrote a poem.
But I will try and I will write about God's creation.


While I count my steps as I walk nearer to the sea
A special spot seem to be waiting for me
An aged log longs for a seated wear
There, I let the strong breeze sweep my hair
Where do I begin cherishing what I see
Those gifts of beauty God set before me
I am glad that I made time for Him
He comforts me through thick and thin

 Why are things the way they are?
Heart-shaped leaves edge the shore to the end
The long curly and foamy waves roaring by the sound of the wind
Still, the vast blue sky quiets the horizon with cottony clouds
Soaring by above is an eagle gliding high in its wing spread wide
Curious crabs scurry left to right across the sand bed
Two white storks clench onto a swaying boat
Beside them a man with a pointed straw hat
Trying to pull a net in for a sign of fish
The heat of afternoon marked by the ticking sun
For only God knows why things are the way they are

 Memories of time past summons my attention
Doubts, worries, fears or uncertainties drown in the waves
The wind blows sorrow, despair, grief or bitterness away
The greens sooth the heart to peace and calm
The sky observe new dreams and hopes
The clouds reflect good and bad memories
The dancing crabs alike of life simplest pleasure
The eagle treasure wisdom above all things
In the end I gave in to the sun that holds a future

 In time like this
I thank God for His promise
Joy, laughter, love
Come in the mornings
Alone in the world
Not in His kingdom
Your beautiful creation
I capture to heal
Allow me to say
 I love you, My Lord.

Dissapointment by the turn of events.

How do I make a change of career path? This is the toughest question I have today. I have a Science background in degree, and 180 degree change to arts or humanities, can be seen surprising or less of the norms in the Asian society. If I am in America, changing major or a career path is not uncommon in the community of individuality and self-interest. I am bringing this topic to an intention because , if there is someone out there who are reading this, I like to get a sense check that I am not gambling my path simply. My reflection , after writing this entry, can be narrow minded. Having someone here, will be a great soundboard. Let me give you a little context as to what actually brings me to this junction or crossroad of life. After I have spent three glorious days working in TFM (current company where I work), the entry of new manager changes the structure around. Implementing performance scorecard and leadership framework, each staff was evaluatud for his or her strengths a...

You can choose to love on two ways.

This whole week, I was covered with a heavy emotion. An inner conflict of hatred, jealousy and loneliness. I struggled to come out from the shell of darkness and tears. It was so suffocating that the only place for me breather was being outside of the house. I pour out my heart to my yiyi. I think her role as a counselor helped me to process my inner feelings and thoughts. Thanks to her counselling I was able to answer my own question. Why did I bear with all this emotion? What made me do so when I could feel otherwise? I can choose to love in two ways. To love someone in hatred/expectation or to love someone as they are. I loved with an expectation of return. It was I who was being conditional of them whereas situation can be the other way round. I had love out of spite. But now knowing that, I felt peaceful about when I realized that I should love with acceptance. That made all the different. I love my family so much that I was scared to lose them so much so feelings of hatred,...

First knowledge buying IT product

This entry is about my trip to Digital Mall in favor of my brother to purchase a computer product. Lesson learnt 1. Go for the first person you see has a good eye contact and good feel that he or she would be the right person to talk to regarding product. 2. You have the right to change sales person for the bad service you received and decides on the person whom to receive commission. 3. When helping someone to buy a product, do go in which a list on the paper and pictures. 4. Confirm the product by asking questions which the buyer likes to know first. 5. Ask permission to take picture of the products to make sure that the product you are about or plan to buy is according to the preference of the buyer. Hm..today I had to put on a thick face to deal with the bad service from the manager of the store. Anyway, I will still go to Jayacom for IT products mainly the price offer is cheaper than any other place. I can disregard the bad service. Anything for you, my dear brother. Do...
