I enjoy taking my tea break with my colleague at about 3pm everyday. People from different department, background and religion would come together and chat about anything interesting. Religion is often the most interesting topic. In the midst of majority unbelievers, the presence of Christians in our group is somehow very well established. They grew particularly interested when among them came an Intern who is a Christian. And so today I excitedly joined the tea time and one of us brought a box of butter cookies. It was a really good snack, until Mr. Lee kindly reminded me that the box of cookies was offered to the idol. I thanked him for warning me and I explained that it is completely fine for me. After I explained that, one of them added in fluent Hokkien :" For the Christians are simple, when they sin, they just have to sincerely confess their sin. " One of the Christian colleague tried to protest. Well, because he kinda made Christianity sounds so easy. I was st

You know that in space you can move in three ways - to left or right, backwards or forwards, up or down. Every direction is either one of these three or a compromise between them. They are called the three Dimensions. Now notice :his. If you are using only one dimension, you could draw only a straight line. If you are using two; you could draw a figure: say, a square. And a square is made up of four straight lines. Now a step further. If you have three dimensions, you can then build what we call a solid body: say, a cube - a thing like a dice or a lump of sugar. And a cube is made up of six squares.   Do you see the point? A world of one dimension would be a straight line. In a two-dimensional world, you still get straight lines, but many lines make one figure. In a three-dimensional world, you still get figures but many figures make one solid body. In other words, as you advance to more real and more complicated levels, you do not leave behind you the things you found on the sim

“Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”  Luke 18:10-14 I spoke to one of my Christian colleague today. She seemed stressed out and strangely quiet today, so I approach with an intention to listen and help. (Although as usual, I can't seems to control my lips.) Even as she shares her financial concerns with me, our conversation somehow seems to spin into our service at church and her role as a dru

Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers.  2 Timothy 2:14 I have a tendency to engage myself in Facebook debate. This is especially evident lately because of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Malaysians are divided on their stands in this matter. It is a temptation too hard to resist. The blood-pumping and action-packed debate is what really keep me excited. What I really did not realise is that, though my arguments may sound intellectual, they do not serve any purpose other than gratifying my lust to show off my intellect (which is poor and limited). Instead of bringing knowledge and enlightening people, I often find myself sucked into an endless exchange of emotional words that only serve to ruin people. 2 Timothy 2:14 serves as a very good reminder for me. Paul was writing his second letter to Timothy, encouraging and exhorting him to continue his walk of faith despite his young a

Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence. And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. And God said to Noah, “I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make yourself an ark of gopher wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch. This is how you are to make it: the length of the ark 300 cubits, its breadth 50 cubits, and its height 30 cubits. Make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above, and set the door of the ark in its side. Make it with lower, second, and third decks. For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die. But I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons

“Seek the Lord while he may be found;    call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way,    and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,    and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts,    neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth,    so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.  Isaiah 55:6-9  As part of the project given to me during my internship with Bose Systems Malaysia, I generated several Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) in order to improve the material delivery process between the Warehouse and Final Assembly. It is of utmost importance for each operator to follow the standard instruction given so that the either process will be able to run smoothly. The SOP that I have generated is the result of my intensive study on the process, carefully thought and plan
