How thick is our skin literally ? Are you always ready to eat back your words ?
In politics, you may do so...as there is no permanent enemy or friends. But when we are dealing with human with feelings, it is not acceptable to just ignore previous hurts or insults and make goods.
However, as Christian, we must always forgive and make good. Probably, based on this belief, unscrupulous people like to attack us on our Christianity forgiveness as they would expect us to be lenient.
Nevetheless, though we will always forgive the wrong doings by another but not to the extend been blindly play around by such opportunist. Once bitten, twice careful.
If we are the thick skin, it must be for good purpose i.e asking donation for good cause, doing product sales for right purpose and etc.
If we are thick skin of asking forgiveness but continuing our bad habits, it will be soon that we have no friends left with us except with those thicker skins.
Take charge, be alert and pray for God's guidance in facing a thick skin.

Half Year 2007
Tommorow is the last day of the 1st half 2007. It is a time of reviewing our Personal Goals 2007 which was set in December 2006.
May we take some time to reflect on our progress, shortfalls or any changes to ensure our path is still intact to our goals.
Time waits for no one, although we sometime waiting for time. Give your best to value yourself.

Health is Wealth
Since early this month, I was down with fever and block nose. Though I thought I have recovered till few days ago, I caught another round of flu, block nose with slight fever due to few late nights when my bosses were in town. Popping a lot of Vit C + garlic pills, now I am left with coughing and slight flu. I really hope to be back on 100% ok soon as there are so many engagement duties towards end of this month.
Frankly, during the suffering period, health is really wealth as when we are sick we are unable to perform our duties to the best of ability. A lot of reflection though, as it helps with our conscience. I am considered very blessed by the Almighty as my last visitation to doctor was way back to June 2005.
My friend, do take care of our health as it is wealth for us when we are healthy !

A Great Man
Yesterday, the world celebrates the good deeds of a great man in the family as I also celebrated with Him yesterday.
This man called Dad, whom have also sacrifices a lot but may not be as much remembered as the lady in the family, Mum as he has not spend as much time with his children. May be this is why it is fair to understand that we always mentioned about mother's tongue instead of father's tongue.
I have a great Dad whom I understand better and better as when I myself received the same status as he is to my two children, Rachel & Moses. My Dad has been working hard from odd workers to kapala running here and there...and during recession in 80s and 90s, he losses jobs and had to travel far to the sawmills somewhere between Sarikei & Sibu, goes out to work early in the morning at 5am, then came back late,..at times had to live in worker's quarters. In younger age at 12 years old, I had the opportunity to follow my dad to help him during my school breaks...being young,..I was easily tired as to follow the same routine...and I could remember at one occassion I doze off whilst manning a working machine but was quickly wake up by my father and was given stern warning.:)
Beside hardworking feature, my father also is very actively in the community's marriages or funerals...and over the years, I could see and experience the kind of respect the community leaders had for him, a simple man @ free news coverage was given for each time the marriage of each of his sons and daughter.
My father gave me the moulding as firm and hardworking person. At times, I was angry for his over firmness and strict discipline as during that time, I could not understand what is life pressure or work pressure and expectation from all parties and financial responsibilities. But now, I have clearly understood...and I will always treasure the love and guidance that he had showered on me and I will also follow his lead to love my children and gave them the best.
I thank God the Father whom had given me a great Father on earth. I will always pray for God's blessing for his happiness, peace and harmony throughout his life. Father, I love you. Amen
