What's your NO 1 priority?
Untuk sekalian yang jauh di mata, yang kini mengejar ilmu....
Pantun Nasihat
Ke hulu membuat pagar,
Jangan terpotong batang durian;
Cari guru tempat belajar,
Supaya jangan sesal kemudian.
Padi muda jangan dilurut,
Kalau dilurut pecah batang;
Hati muda jangan diturut,
Kalau diturut salah datang.
Orang Daik memacu kuda,
Kuda dipacu deras sekali;
Buat baik berpada-pada,
Buat jahat jangan sekali.
Dayung perahu tuju haluan,
Membawa rokok bersama rempah;
Kalau ilmu tidak diamalkan.,
Ibarat pokok tidak berbuah.
An ACT of Kindness...
Beggers are rather common esp along the five-foot way along Sin Liang supermarket and the entrance of Imperial Mall shopping complex. Some even approached when having meals at coffee-shops. Initially i would contribute a little..but as time passed, i noticed that some of them are just plain lazy to WORK for a living. After they are not crippled or anything... why beg? One particular lady sat down at my table and begin telling me her sad sad sad story..abt how her then 5-6yr old son was diagnosed with a very rare liver condition and that he would not live long unless he seek specialist treatment. Haha, being conned (many time already) i kinda hmmmed here and there, and then i asked for proof of the diagnosis.. U KNOW WHAT!!! she managed to produced a blurred photocopied surat akuan ...dated a long time back. After a quick mental calculate, her son (if alive) would have been 28 years old this year.
"Is he still alive?" i asked.
"Yes."
"so, where is he now"
"In Sibu."
"Is he still sick or wat?" "Is he able to support himself?" "Working?"
"Yes, he is working......................but he still need medical treatment........if not he will not make it........ You see his dad and i broke off after our son was diagonsed with this rare condition, and he now has a mistress and here i am doing my best as a loving mother to seek and raise fund for his medical expenses...bla bla bla"
Well..my lunch was getting cold, and i was running late so i just folded up RM20, and pressed it into her palms. She thanked me and moved away.... TO THE TABLE NEXT TO MINE and (hehehehe) began her 'story '........
Hopefully the money that she 'solicits' will be put to good use......
There are times, when i struggled should i or should i not give??

When things aren't what you expect.. remember the 3 trees..
I am glad i came across this story. I was encouraged after reading it. I pray it will bless you the way it did me. Blessed reading.
Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said, "Someday, I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems. I could be decorated with intricate carving and everyone would see the beauty."
Then the second tree said, "Someday I will be a mighty ship. I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull."
Finally the third tree said, "I want to grow to be the tallest and straighest tree in the forest. People will see me on top of the hill and look up to my branches and think of the heavens and God and how close to them I am reaching. I will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me."
After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of woodsmen come upon the trees. When one came to the first tree he said, "This looks like a strong tree, I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter" . . . and he began cutting it down. The tree was happy, because he knew that the carpenter would make him into a treasure chest.
At the second tree a woodsman said, "This looks like a strong tree, I should be able to sell it to the shipyard." The second tree was happy, because he knew he was on his way to becoming a mighty ship.
When the woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was frightened because he knew that if they cut him down his dreams would not come true. One of the woodsmen said, "I don't need anything special from my tree so I'll take this one", and he cut it down.
When the first tree arrived at the carpenters, he was made into a feed box for animals. He was then placed in a barn and filled with hay. This was not at all what he had prayed for.
The second tree was cut and made into a small fishing boat. His dreams of being a mighty ship and carrying kings had come to an end.
The third tree was cut into large pieces and left alone in the dark.
The years went by, and the trees forgot about their dreams.
Then one day, a man and woman came to the barn. She gave birth and they placed the baby in the hay in the feed box that was made from the first tree. The man wished that he could have made a crib for the baby, but this manger would have to do. The tree could feel the importance of this event and knew that it had held the greatest treasure of all time.
Years later, a group of men got in the fishing boat made from the second tree. One of them was tired and went to sleep. While they were out on the water, a great storm arose and the tree didn't think it was strong enough to keep the men safe. The men woke the sleeping man, and he stood and said "Peace" and the storm stopped. At this time, the tree knew that it had carried the King of Kings in its boat.
Finally, someone came and got the third tree. It was carried through the streets as the people mocked the man who was carrying it. When they come to a stop, the man was nailed to the tree and raised in the air to die at the top of a hill. When Sunday came, the tree came to realize that it was strong enough to stand at the top of the hill and be as close to God as was possible, because Jesus had been crucified on it.
The moral of this story is that when things don't seem to be going your way, always know that God has a plan for you. If you place your trust in Him, He will give you great gifts. Each of the trees got what they wanted, just not in the way they had imagined.
We don't always know what God's plans are for us. We just know that His ways are not our ways, but His ways are always best.
