here in your presence Lord

Class after thoughts...

Some of the definition on ‘leadership’ was given during the class, just share one definition that sinks deep within me.

1. Leadership = Influence. Leader engages people in thinking, and broadened their mindset…

And some quote that caught my attention during the class,

1. Leader = Reader.

2. “Modem Christian must read with the Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other.” (I later found that this was initially a remark by Karl Barth.)

Alan Tea, one of my most admired leaders, cannot further emphasize the important of reading and engaging our mind, make it work for the glory of God. I guess Lawrence may know a bit how the whole USM group was mobilized to embark a series of activity to get people concern on current affair and rebating on controversial matter.

And today the instructor also kept urging on the important of reading habit.

So, today lesson really gave me a big hit… the last article I read on issue/affair/topic, I guess it was months ago… can’t imagine how my mind was so ‘slack’… and the book I last read, was put on hold for weeks, and it still got more than half to go…

To be a Christian, meaning, to be a salt and light of the world. Not just a good follower, but an Influential disciple for Jesus, and rock the world with His truth!!!

思念是一种很玄的东西。。。

思念是一种很玄的东西。。

当我张开眼睛，脑海里浮现的是你的倩影；
当我闭眼入眠，漆黑里冥想的是你的欢颜。。。

思念你。。。

母難日

《母難日》

今生今世，我最忘情的哭聲有兩次：
一次在我生命的開始，
一次在妳生命的告終。

第一次我不會記得 ，
是聽妳說的；
第二次妳不會曉得，
我說也沒用。

但兩次哭聲的中間啊！
有無窮無盡的笑聲，
一遍一遍又一遍，
迴盪了整整三十年。

妳都曉得我都記得。

A poem written in remembrance of a mother. This is extract from one article about relationship between children and parent.

Personally like this piece of work. I can imagine the pain of losing her. There were those night that I was alone and thinking about family, when it came to the thoughts of losing one of them, I already start to weep. Silly. Maybe I am preparing for those time. :)

Let me try to translate this poem into english one. Is this a poem? maybe Unknown know better. :)

I think I skip the title. The title too difficult for me to translate... maybe TCC can do the job for me? :)

In this life, I had two most unrepressed cry.
The first was when I came into this world.
The other was when you part from this world.

I wouldn’t remember the first one,
I heard it from you.
The second one you will not know,
It is also futile to mention.

In between the two cries,
There were countless of mirth,
Again and again, and again...
They tarry in the space for the whole 30 years.

You knew it and I remembered it.

Dream

Yesterday got a dream. I dreamed of how to promote racial harmony and deepen the bonding of Malay, Chinese, and Indian (the 3 major ethic group) in Malaysia.

Here is the content of the dream:

I work as a department head for an influential corporate in Malaysia. Somehow, I quite close to chairman (the big boss). One day, we had the chance to go out, and over the conversation, the idea of using the company financial power and influence over the political atmosphere just pop out. We are all excited about how to bring the company to greater height. Then, suddenly, I was struck with an idea of promote racial harmony within the corporate. And from there on, I got thousands of words to say how should the company take the lead to make it a nation exercise… how a united nation shall even bring more economical benefit eventually… however, it is not well received… somehow, to execute such plan will cause Chinese race an injustice/slight disfavor (I don’t know why got such impression, maybe I am too proud to be Chinese).

Ha ha ha… the corporate is running mainly by Chinese. The chairman fails to see the long term benefit both derive from financial and political stands. Or, he don’t want take such a move as corporate. To him, this is government job, why should a private organization help government settle the ‘shit’? To me, whoever do it, I don’t care, I only want to see significant good eventually.

A lot of people come in the conversation in the middle, only remember 2 person vividly. one is Sharon Kim, one is Yoon Wei Tao. They all hold different idea. Don’t know what they says, only know they have the same concerns with the chairman, in the sense, not supportive of my idea… I thought Wei Tao will have same political stand as me… next time, I shall ask him how he think when I am back in Klang.

The dream ends with me drinking a cup of orange juice… I wonder why orange juice… suppose to be a beer or wine… I think this is to foretell me that I never learn to drink even after many year in corporate setting, so, only orange juice… -.-

The conclusion:

I think I am very troubled by all the injustice done unto Chinese and Indian under current ruling government. A change is a need. If not change government, a change to all minister’s attitude is mandatory. Chinese elected parliament member should stop dreaming, and act on actual situation. Malaysia Chinese Association MUST stop all kind of nonsense, and focus to serve Chinese community in term of national issue.
