My Flat-hunt

Image
I saw a house so lovely , My joy just overflowed; I asked the Lord to bless me , With one of such abode.   I thought about the others , I made comparisons: A bigger house , a smaller one , Much diff’rences we’d note.   And with 2 rounds of viewing , Ideas have evolved: Some , bigger , but not nicer , Some , farther , but , behold!   And yes , if it were bigger , And nearer to the train , For sure it would be dearer , Your money – sure to drain.   Some , old house , yet the asking , Some , high floors , to restore; Some , fancy , but , the pricing! Some , low floors , oh , adore!   But hey , we know one unit , Though lower floor , it’s lovely; It sure is good , but pricey , Where would we get the money?   Our pockets? No! It’s not enough. Ask rel’tives? No. Not much they’ve got. We know! We have our Father dear , Who...

Whatever Your Cross May Be!

Image
Don't miss the poem at the end … Whatever your cross , whatever your pain , there will always be sunshine , after the rain ....   Perhaps you may stumble , perhaps even fall , But God's always ready , To answer your call ...   He knows every heartache , sees every tear , A word from His lips , can calm every fear ...   Your sorrows may linger , throughout the night , But suddenly vanish , in dawn's early light ...   The Savior is waiting , To give you His grace , and send you His love...   Whatever your cross , whatever your pain , "God al...

How Great is the Father's Love...

Yesterday , and the few days and weeks before , I have been training some colleagues on the system that we use in our company. Purpose of the training is to have some back-ups in times of need , whether or not I am present.   And one thing struck me: in my years of doing the job , I have accumulated vast knowledge and have also honed my skills in analyzing systems and developing solutions using softwares.   I remember how I started. I had the desire to learn , and I had the resources. More than literatures and printed materials , I have the very , very seasoned developers in our IT group. And most importantly , I have the problem to solve , or the targetted goal. More or less , I knew the end in mind. This is very important – focus will always be aligned towards this objective.   Thus I began , reading , coding , trying… endless hours of typing and being infront of the computer. And this also started the e...

Father's Pride (a joke)

Image
(I’m spared from this… I only have daughters…!)   Four friends, who hadn't seen each other in 30 years, reunited at a party. After several drinks, one of the men had to use the rest room. Those who remained talked about their kids.   The first guy said, "My son is my pride and joy. He started working at a successful company at the bottom of the barrel. He studied Economics and Business Administration and soon began to climb the corporate ladder and now he's the president of the company. He became so rich that he gave his best friend a top-of-the-line Mercedes for his birthday."   The second guy said, "Darn, that's terrific! My son is also my pride and joy. He started working for a big airline, and then went to flight school to become a pilot. Eventually he became a partner in the company, where he owns the majority of its assets. He's so rich that he gave his best friend a brand new jet for h...
