I did some thinking on leadership. Whether is with work or ministry. As many of you know, I am not a born leader. If you let me choose I rather choose not to lead at all times. To follow is my greatest preferences. I guess there are many times that God had challenged me and put me in the situation that I would need to step out from my comfort zone. I was reflecting back those days when we were in Adelaide. Yes of course the very first time when Del & Fannie approached me to be the secretary of OCF, I actually took some time to consider. After the one whole year experiencing God’s in the area of serving year after year I continue taking up new challenges. I would never see myself in any of those areas that I was in. Of course it is not about me.. it is all about Jesus. He is the one that taught me how to lead. It amazed me each time when I reflect back how God has used me.

This is my 5^th year of coming back to Malaysia. Of all the 4 year plus of being back in Malaysia I have not involved much in leading. Being a person that loves to follow than lead, leadership role again is a no to me. Somehow for work, I am put in a position where I would need to step out confidently as I lead the team. I admit a lot of times I am using my own energy in leading the team. At the end of each day, I was really burned out and I ended tearing. Is only I decided to fully rely on God’s strength.. There is the time where I find much release rather than getting myself burn out each day. I have learned the hard way but thanking God makes me realize that things got better when I fully relying on Him.

I have been asking people what makes them decide to step in to leadership role? I guess probably I should be asking myself what is stopping me instead… I guess at times the answer of our question is actually from our own selves. Realizing at times there are many excuses rather then trusting God in it.  

Every minute, every second is so precious. We wouldn’t know what will happen in the next minutes. I have heard of stories that people being stab, shot, killed…. Bla… bla.. bla… and died on spot. It is so scary. Due to this I am trying to make full use of my time and make every hour counts. I am learning to Love people that came across my life. I cherish every moment we spent.

It is so nice having a baby (4 month old) at home. My sister 2^nd daughter (Sandra) is just so adorable. Each time when I reach home, if she is awake.. she would smile at me. The smile that she gave me is so sweet. She makes me wanting to go back more often.

I shall stop here.. it’s time to pack again. I will be on the road again for the next 2 weeks.

The world of authentic Thai tastes.. favorite of all….."Zow Zow instant noodle". There are 4 kind of flavors with the attractive colorful packaging; The Duck, Tom Yam, Chicken & vegetarian's flavors. You could find the Zow Zow products from the small rural market to the hypermarket in Malaysia & Singapore.  Unlike ordinary instant noodles that would turn soggy if cooked over-time, Zow Zow noodles' maintains its texture no matter how long it has been cooked and will definitely leave you wanting for more. It has Halal certification where all races could consume.

Will dreams come true? Recently, almost every night I dreamt; be it good or bad. Sometimes I so wish that the dream is true. That also means I have not had a peaceful night/good sleep. Yes physically tired as I have been sleeping late and wakes up early morning.

What have I been up to? Firstly new chapter of life has begun in my family. We added one into the family. My newborn niece “Sandra Tay”. Since the day she was born till today (One Week) I was with her. Seeing her growing each day is really amazing. She is just lovely and sweet especially her smile. She is really gentle. I guess I am going to miss her so much as I will be back to KL soon. How I wish to stay with her everyday but well, I got to be responsible with my work.

Secondly, the memorable celebration is my grandpa’s 105 years old birthday celebration. This year we do it very differently from any other years. We had a family time of worship & praying just for Grandpa. It was really wonderful to come together as “NG” family. Grandpa is really a man after God’s own heart. A man that is so close to God. A man that blessed peoples that came across his life. I am so proud to have him as grandpa. He shows good examples to all of us. The love for God never fails.

For the previous months, I have been travelling quite a bit. It was a new experience to drive from Muar – KL – Ipoh – Penang – Sg Golok – Pattany – Hatyai – Penang – KL – Muar within a week. It was scary to drive to Sg. Golok because it is not a proper highway plus no phone reception. Imagine driving in the jungle. This trip to Sg Golok really something that sparks me on mission trip. Once I reached Sg. Golok, I told myself “no way man… I won’t come again”.. my hearts worries “in future HOW??” cause that’s where my Zow Zow factory is. I won’t be able to avoid going there again and again. There and then I was reminded that mission trip is worst then this. Going to Sg. Golok is really a good training and to be prepared before I step into mission field.

Works…. I am still not quite there yet. Still learning from my daddy. Long way more to go. How is wish to have the skills that my dad has. Tough!! Tough!! I pray that I would be smart enough to handle what I should. Learning… learning… STILL.

Ok I shall stop here as I planned to sleep early tonight. To be fully charged for meetings… nites
