I've started this about 7 years ago? and it has been a great place for me to share my burdens, my tears, my joy and my life. I'm thankful to people who have visited 'me' and read about my life.<br /><br />Perhaps it is the process of growing up, I've learnt that not all burdens can be understood, not all tears can be shared, not all joy can be felt completely..and sometimes it is better to keep them to myself. It is okay though :) cause I know God understands perfectly everything that I'm going through and that's enough for me.<br /><br />R.I.P, dear phangcarmen.blogspot.com.</span>Phang Carmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16113441457054040950noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307360380400507345.post-68921023614302539552015-12-31T21:38:00.000+08:002015-12-31T21:46:11.935+08:00Best Boyfriend of the Year<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He accompanied me for more than 4 hours at my grandma's house even though he is still having exams. If there's something I can thank God for, despite all that is happening, it would be friends who are there to pray and support me, boyfriend's family who can give godly counsel and a boyfriend who loves me :)</span><br />

You get scolded for no reason but one thing good is you'll get used to it even if customers are cursing you. No big deal ;) I'm glad my time in OCBC ended well and my colleagues are still my friends.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Somehow, growing up/old makes me treasure my time with uni mates. I love catching up with them and I still do. Time flies and I need to live each day to the fullest. It's something I'm learning now. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If anyone is wondering why I'm still in Penang, it is my family :) 'YOLO'! 'See the world when you're still young!', 'Go out and explore!'.... I've heard enough :) Never once I regret the decision I've made to stay because I know I'll regret if I choose otherwise. Although it has been my 'comfort zone', it hasn't been giving me much comfort. Trust me, my biggest struggle is in this so called 'comfort zone'. I love my family and I pray for them every, single day.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />2015 didn't end so well for me but I hope it did for you :) </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After graduation and leaving PKA, Bukit Jambul Lifegroup has been very close to my heart. This is where I get my spiritual support and encouragement to keep running the race. I've been serving together with Rachel and Bro Edwin in this lifegroup for more than a year now. It has always been a joy to be able to serve the people I enjoy meeting every week :) My partner, Rachel will be leaving in a week's time. Funnily enough, I cried in a Farewell dinner that I planned for....nooooooo!!! I'm going to miss having someone young to attend leaders' meeting together with me and someone who brings LIFE to lifegroup.And most importantly someone who laughs at my lame jokes :P</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">:( Good bye Rachel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Yet I'm also confident that God will send someone. He never fails to do that :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Piktochart:</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When I first started to work in Piktochart, I struggled with self-confidence and self-value because I work with many talented and gifted people at Piktochart. I tend to compare myself with them and wondering why was I even hired? Cause I don't have much to offer. As time passed by, I've grown to love these people. I work with very lovable and beautiful people which I'm very thankful for! :) Instead of comparing myself with them or dwelling in questions that I do not have answers for (except God putting me there for a reason, i guess it's a good enough reason?), I try to learn as much as I can from them and appreciate being around awesome peeps! :) Thank you for all your encouragement and prayers, I've now passed my probation and officially part of this wonderful family! Hip hip hurray!<br />PS: I'll be going for a company trip in Melbourne in two weeks' time, everything will be paid for except for our own spending on Free & Easy days. I didn't have much money to exchange for Aussie but God provided the exact amount I needed even without me asking! Yipieee :D</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Happy 50th Birthday RGBC! :) This is where I grow, I learn, I serve and I belong. I used to struggle with a few disagreements and thought of leaving but then I've stayed on and I'm sooo glad I did! It has been 7 years now :) This is not a perfect church but it is definitely a good church. I've grown to appreciate my pastors, my leaders and RGBC-ians for guiding me and helping me to grow spiritually :) I'm proud to say that we have really good and caring leaders! I pray for us to move forward with God, more of God for the next 50 years and less of ourselves.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lastly, Happy Merdeka to my one and only HOME !</div>

It's a struggle for me and I know I have backslidden from where I was. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Yet His love always overwhelms me, His grace always draws me back.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">I stand amazed in the presence</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"> Of Jesus the Nazarene,</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">And wonder how He could love me,</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"> A sinner condemned, unclean.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Human beings are so weak. We can be so close to God today and so far away from Him tomorrow. What draws me back again, is not my own discipline or effort.. but simply being in awe of My Father's love for me again.<br /><br />I don't know why God speaks to me through hymns lately, but I love it :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hello! This is going to be THE MOST SHOCKING & EXCITING NEWS OF THE YEAR : Carmen is now part of Piktochart Family! Wooohoo! *I can feel excitement bursting out from me even as I'm typing this!!* :D Can you believe it?? I can't even believe this. haha </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It was one random day that I had this 'just apply and see' kinda feeling and it turned up to be God's wonderful plan for me :) I had to pass 3 interviews including an interview with the CEO in order to get this job. Throughout the whole process, I've been telling people "If I get in, it must be God." And true enough, when God opens a door, nobody can shut :) Until today, I am still not quite sure why I am chosen but yays, I am chosen! It's definitely God's favor from the start to the very end! Honestly, I've never felt so sure of what I want ever since I graduated..until I went for my first interview in Piktochart. And tadaa! It feels so good to know that you finally found something that you're passionate about :D and the best thing is I saw God's hand at work in this whole journey :) It feels a bit scary for me to join one of the Best Start-Up companies in Malaysia cause it feels so BIG and HUGE.. but then again, I'm thinking if God's favor can carry me in then His favor will definitely carry me through. Praying that I will continue to trust Him till the very end :) </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I'll surely miss this bunch of monkeys who journeyed with me for the past 4 months- The Newbie Team! and not forgetting my good boss too. Thank you for all the teasing, bullying, sharing crazy stories and laughing our heads off!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Me : Carmen, do you know where the burnt offerings go to? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Myself
: Well, most of the times, when I asked my friends, they would say it
is for their late parents/relatives/ family in hell, so that they would have a better life with all
the 'burnt' house/handphones/money etc.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Me : Why do they still choose hell when God has promised Heaven through Jesus Christ?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Myself : It could be traditions/beliefs that were being passed on from generations to generations.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Me : Do they not know about the truth; God loves them and want them to be in Heaven?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Myself : That's why you are here to tell them.</span><br />

Uncle Guna was a cheerful man. He didn't own a big house or a big car.. he only owned a motorbike but he is a rich man.. rich in relationships and values. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The world sees wealth differently than how God sees it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Uncle
Guna lived with a heart of a servant - serving others and serving God.
Most of the time when I saw him in church, he would be watering the
plants. He would do those little things that most people wouldn't care
or notice. I'll definitely miss seeing his smile and his heart of service. Even
in watering those plants I could see that he was doing all that with
joy..joy of the Lord.</span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Many turned up for his funeral because they respected him; the way he lived his life. Being in his funeral made me think.. I don't want people to come to my funeral and testify of my earthly wealth (though now I do not have any lol) "You know, carmen was a rich woman. She had 3 big bungalows and 4 Sports car excluding her Satria Neo!" If that's the only thing people testify during my funeral, I would be crying in my coffin lol. There is so much to examine about my own life and sometimes I just couldn't tahan myself; my selfishness and pride. Yet not by my own transforming power but God's.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Uncle Guna, you will be an example, a model and an inspiration for many of us who are still running the race. Nobody wins a prize for starting well but finishing well. And you have finished well :) I'm glad that you are in a better place - Heaven, a place with no more sufferings, pain or tears and forever in the presence of our God, delighting in His love for you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Till we meet again :)</span><br />
