Jesus, I am ready
Jesus, I’m ready… to know you as I’m known.
Tonight, standing in the ruins of perceptions, I know what they know about you but it never satisfies.
So strip away the what-ifs, should-haves, might-haves and could-haves, I am ready to start again.
It feels as though someone pushed the pause button on me, while the rest of the world zipped by. This inertia compels me to do something, but does that draw me closer to You? Or do I find a makeshift ‘purpose’ more comforting than silence?
And you know I’m wrestling and I could be stubborn, but you also know I love you with a desperate passion. Lord, there’s still a lot of fight in me left, I won’t let go just as you have never let me go.
For you are Purpose and Truth, when I find you ... until then only will I be ready for them.
Work quirkies
OOooo...my new office is almost ready and I'll be putting up some sneak piccies here soon. Now blogging from the office and these are some interesting observations I have picked up:
1) It's only 4 pm, but almost all the staff have disappeared! It's true we end at 4 since it's the term break now but strangely Malaysians are quite punctual on this! ;) I still have loads to unpack and sort things out, guess I took some KL work ethics along: must stay back-lah!
2) Did you know we are quite efficient when it comes to words?
e.g
A Mat Salleh: Would you be so kind to pass me the fax at the reception on your way up to my office?
A typical Malaysian: Oi, remember to pass me the fax!
Another version: You pass the fax-lah!
3) Terrorisme paranoia is alive and kicking here among the Mat Salleh community; an expat teacher said he would not reveal his status working here.
Reason:
"Let's face it, this is Malaysia..and there are terrorists around here and it's NOT safe! I wouldn't want to be kidnapped!"
Hmm..the last time I check, the 'terrorists' have yet to kidnap anyone in this blessed country and Penang is
not Bali...I guess he didn't teach geography!
Disclaimer: To be politically correct, the above served as a slice of humour to brighten up the typical Malaysian's day at work. It was never meant to offend any of our fair-haired brethren.
Malaysian version: I joking oni!
Cheers!
