Money: Source of All Quarrel

By -
8 Dec

OMG! My mum came home and had never stop nagging since then. Well let's not talk about her cuz we gonna talk about her all the way down.

So we went for dinner since my grandma took a day off (herself). My dad made a detour to Pudu Maybank branch and asked me to draw RM770 from my saving account since I'm sharing the account with him.

I checked my account, RM858. WTF! Where the heck my money went?! If I draw RM770, then I would only have RM88 left! Gosh Where's my RM500+ savings? O no! This is the consequences of having an ATM card and never make a record of transection. Okay, my daily withdrawal limit is RM500 only, so I drew RM500 for my dad and started to count my money.

Then I got confused when my mum started nagging, nagging and nagging again. Actually she was just trying to help but I just won't listen to her, my bad actually. Then I figured out where the money went. I had some quarrel with my mum about this and other stuff, including my slumber attitude that day when my mum was buying clothes for me. Frankly, I just don't like shopping, I just so wanted someone who knows everything about me and buy things for me without bothering me.

My dad started teaching me and lecturing me. He told me to just keep quiet to listen to elders who might experience better than us. He was just so upset hearing that I say my mum is naggy. Well it was really my fault. I can just sit and listen to girls who tell me their problems and everything yet I can't just patiently listen to my mum's advice.

Thanks to my dad's lecture which almost made me cry (again you crybaby!). I had a clearer picture now and I guess I'll try to fix my weaknesses then. OMG! I felt so terrible and guilty when my dad claimed that he can tell 20 things that I'm bad in and not a thing about my mum. I guess I'm really that bad.

So I went home and rushed into my room to check my receipts and the RM240 that I thought I have not banked in. Gosh! my RM240 is gone! O God!

Then everything confused me again and I got so pissed-off. But this time I tried to listen to my dad and count everything again. Until I gave up and asked my mum to calculate for me! the mist just "woop!" and cleared. Gosh! I should have listened to my mum earlier, then I would not have to be in this mess.

So now I have my savings back and finally made an account book for myself. I guess God had taught me a good lesson this time. Thanks to both my Fathers and my mother for this good lesson.


My Account book!

Money eh! The worst thing that always bring quarrel between men and even family. "Heart of Greed" (Hong Kong Drama) revealed it all, in fact I just experienced it first-hand. Money can be a blessing, yet can be a great tool of Satan. Lol!

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 5. Project Kwam Wang - Sabaidee, Laos! I don't think I can ever say this enough: Laos is an unforgettable nation, mainly because of the unforgettable journey that God had taken me through. The initial idea was to paint a school building in Vientiane, but imagine our shock when the team saw a building with 2-walled rooms. Instead of complaining, the team quickly came together to lay bricks and cement. 5 days later, we have classrooms with 4 walls and whole school of happy children. The highlight of the trip came later. To catch our flight in Lua Prabang, we took a 6-hour bus ride into Vang Vien, a magical, spectacular heaven-on-earth. The 2-hour tubing experience to enjoy the peace and scenic view of Vang Vien mountain range, the lovely morning breakfast with a morning sunshine and green mountains. It was a great time of serenity and reflection. Then another 6 hours of bus ride across the mountain into Lua Prabang. Tasted on

Stand for Judas

By -
You know, there was once my sister told me when I tell her the story of "The Last Supper":"Yer! Why Judas Iscariot so bad one? Betray Jesus ( with a kiss )!" I did not answer her question, I did not know how. I got the answer lately, the thinking somehow struck my mind. Some people might say Judas is bad , taken over by devil. But I think he is quite a brave man actually. If he did not sell Jesus out, Jesus could not carry out His Father's plan. He was actually carrying out his mission that God gave him. And yet, after accomplishing his mission, he hung himself. Think about it, will you kill yourself after accomplishing a mission or successfully completed an important job? Well, even if I throw a knife to you and ask you to cut yourself would need huge courage ( Mrs. Ramani did this experiment before and I had seen it myself, even I would not cut myself ), prove me wrong! Not to say to praise him for selling the Son of Man out, but he deserves our little re

Heavenly Disconnected

By -
We were all happily chit-chatting (or yelling) at grandma’s house. My second aunt suggested that we go to one of her cousin’s house to visit them but unfortunately the cousin wasn’t at home so we had to cancel it. Then I suggested to visit my youngest aunt’s house with the urge to play some mahjong. My intention was to play only, I did not intend to involve money. We drove there in 3 separate cars with me fetching my sister only. As we reached there we got everything ready, the mahjong table, chairs and of course, the mahjong. I couldn’t wait for my elder cousin to come and join me for a 3-Players Cantonese Mahjong. Just to make it fun, I (while being a Christian) suggested to involve money. This is where the problem starts. I feel pride arise. Holy Spirit was prompting me not to play with money, in fact, the mahjong at all. But I ignored it on purpose but seek selfish desire for pleasure and greed. I won around RM10 with starting fund RM13. But I also get the sense of guilt.
