Gentleman... Start your engine~~~

yea~~ Been staring into this screen for quite a while. Start my engine. Yes!! It started. The engine didn't go 'ka-pup'. =)

Many event/thing happened, and some are still happening...

** I will apply what a 'random thoughts' blogging this time. Whatever come to my minds, I just blog it. I know I gotta do something to break the bond of 'laziness'... This blog must not die!!! Thank you sister for your constant pestering asking.. =D

** Some lingering issues, has sort of come to a stage that I am quite sure to leave it aside. It is good for me. Felt every much lighter in weight.

** Just met up with Jess for dinner. A fulfilling dinner, but the taste so so nia... Had not meet her for quite sometime. Burdened by her workplace's complicated people relationship and company situation.. Really pray that she will find a job that meet her expectation and can enable her to advance further in career. Will start to look out job for her.

** Also met up with Law for cup of Teh-O-Ice-Limau. Today not much 'kick'.. Maybe the ice is not cold (illogical statement, how can ice not cold, and do I expect ice to go below -10'C??) haha. Got a very good time with him, at least, I felt so. Hope this is mutual feeling. =.= Talked about the church camp. Talked about the working. Talked about my confirmation of perm post in Philips. Talked about some conflicts with 2 senior colleagues at work. Talked about Law's Korea trip experience. Talked about his boss/Korean counterpart feedback on his attitude at work. Good for him. He got a good boss that open to share about his weaknesses.

** Yesterday night, Monday night, went for BLM gathering. Pastor Johanes shared on what kind of investment will last in End time when everything can be shake will be shaken. My whole idea about investment was really shaken. Really shaken.. In the middle of sharing by Ps. Joh, I can identified with the 3k crowd that were listening to Peter's first public preaching of gospel. I really felt like crying out, "what shall we do???". Basically, some of the key words of the sharing evolved around following:
- injustice and dishonest financial measures. God is disgusted with this.
- Nothing really new under the heaven. man... I know this is true, but little did I prepared to know that the modern economics also resembled the old fashion... Same principals, just different packaging.
- A New World Order. A big conspiracy. I dug deeper into this topic via wikipedia. I really so thankful to God for giving us the brain to build this marvelous internet system. I really just step into a new area where i got little exposure.
- Fractional reserve banking. The most fundamental operation principle for banking, worldwide. What is in the nutshell? See this example. Government set 10% reserve ratio for bank. Bank can take 100 dollars deposit from me, and the bank can loan out 10 times of 100 dollar. So, from 100 dollar, bank multiplied it to 10 times.. Literally money from the air. So, money is circulated without real asset/value. That is why money is only a 'legal note' guarantee by government... blar.. blar.. blar...
- From the above point, it link to many financial mechanism, which in nutshell, very largely our economics is on debt-based economics. People loan money, get money from loan, buy thing and invest using loan money.. Credit card facility is one of simple example. Bank promise us 2 months credit, but where is this 2 months credit money come from??? They just create a virtual money for our convenient.. From this convenience they derived their profit from the charged interest. Basically, making money without real reserve in their bank...
A lot more... Key word to find in wikipedia: Fractional reserve banking, New World Order. This two is enough to blow your mind and shake your financial understand.
"What shall we do"?? I only pray that God will really have mercy on my investment, and finally, I shall only put my trust in God, and look to God as my sole protector and provider.

** Church camp was really great time. Really learn so so much. And really many actions point to follow up.. And really excited to see how I may grow further as I put it into my daily life application. I take Thy Words, and I shall delight in it & meditate it day & night, and I shall be like the tree planted by the stream of water, yield its fruit in season, and i will be youthful for Your purposes, and You shall prosper the work of my hands.
** Responded to the call of being CL. Not sure how. Shall talk it out with Poy.

** Exciting months ahead.

** By the way, pray with me that I will continue to strife in my workplace. I hope got another pay increment.. Not that I greedy (just a bit...), I believe this income will help me to realised thing that I wanted to do next year.
