My Small Car wash business

Well... Finally 4 months ago on 26 March 2012, TJ car spa was officially in service :)

Beautiful hah?? Yeap i love the look of this simple homey car spa, which located exactly in front of my parents house.

Well, i can say this is the first time that i handle a business start from scratch. Doing all the research, calculation, finding the source of the equipment, doing the renovation, preparation, etc.

the set up start from dec 2011 so it takes me more than 3 month till it officially open.


You know what, I have this BAD LIVE PRINCIPLE which sound like this " JUST DO IT FIRST, IF GOT PROBLEM THAN THINK LATER". Luckily now got my wife that always scold me to THINK AND ANALYSE PROPERLY FIRST...

Well because of my BAD LIVE PRINCIPLE i end up NOT FOCUS on WHAT I WANT TO DO AND WHAT I AM DOING... Easily sway by the PROBLEMS and ISSUES...

I admit that i am in dilemma now... part of my heart want to go back to my old live in singapore which seems to be greener in my though now.. and another part, i still want to pursue this business. To be honest, it come to my mind to CLOSE THE BUSINESS lately. Can you imagine that just after 4 month from the opening?

Yeap, i am facing lots of problems and issues right now... It already drain my emotion and mind.
mostly it is worker issue. I can't imagine the mentality and working character of worker here were so hard to predict. I have tried many ways yet still facing the same problems.

Today when i hold my guitar, suddenly i sang this song :

PELANGI KASIH

APA YANG KAU ALAMI KINI
MUNGKIN TAK DAPAT ENGKAU MENGERTI
COBAAN YANG ENGKAU ALAMI
TAK MELEBIHI KEKUATANMU

TUHANMU TAK AKAN MEMBERI
ULAR BERACUN PADA YANG MINTA ROTI
SATU HAL TANAMKAN DI HATI
INDAH SEMUA YANG TUHAN B’RI

TANGAN TUHAN SEDANG MERENDA
SUATU KARYA YANG AGUNG MULIA
SAATNYA ‘KAN TIBA NANTI
KAU LIHAT PELANGI KASIH-NYA

" Easy Come Easy Go" ever heard about this clause? This song remind me of how God make us strong in what i am doing. He put me in difficult time on and on, again and again. And tonight i know for sure that He hold my hand when i almost fall down. and telling me that Dia sedang merenda karya yang indah in my life.

Joshua 1:5-9

New International Version (NIV)

⁵ No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. ⁶ Be strong and courageous,because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.

⁷ “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. ⁸ Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. ⁹ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Today i know that i am not over the problem yet, But with God i will pull through the problems and embrace in His glory...

A wonderful gift of Understanding

Hahaha... In the past i used to ask God about some stupid question...

I remember i was in the badminton competition. And i ask " If i pray to win and my opponent pray to win too, so who will God listen to?" If only God answer 1 person and make the person win, then God is unfair to the loser than... Well, i was the loser back than.. hahahaa...

Guess until today i still find that sometimes i still ask this question in a different form.

I am glad that God always never failed to give me new understanding each new day as i read His word and walk along with Him. He teach me winning doesn't always mean the best for you. As he promise me that He have PLAN that will prosper me.

Me and My wife even though we only married for almost 2 years, yet we have been put to take hard decision for certain times. around july 2011 we decided to live separately as i went back to samarinda and she will stay in singapore untill we have our first child. It wasn't an easy decision though. we pray and ask for direction and conviction. I cried hard before i left her there at that nite and i feel so hard to live separately for i don't know how long will it be. Even my worker can ask me this question " i wonder how dare you left ur wife alone in singapore while she pregnant? I just could not image those kind of things?" to answer that question, ya me too i dunno how can i do that... My father ask me once "Will you 2 be emotionally apart and will no longer have much desire and love after certain periode cause of the long distance?" 

I am so grateful that me and my wife choose to follow what God have convince us. And we do not follow what we fear of. It's almost 8 months now and we are great and also expecting a great boy to join in our small family. My love to her and her love to me grow deeply. you don't believe me? here what she send me yesterday :p 

You can see the round face and the sexy lips right.. hahaha...

Well, Situation doesn't make our life, Yet OUR CHOICE does make our life. That's why leader always say, Choose to do the right things.. Cause it will determine how your life will be.

Good things are not always the things that looks good in the eyes or sounds good in the ear or maybe smell great in our nose. Also they are not always feels great emotionally in our heart.

But i learn and understand that goods things are my love still grow stronger to my wife even though we live apart, i am not a loser even when i loose the badminton match :), The Joy from the Lord as He gave me understanding in the rough road, and the good things is i know there will be away when there seems to be no way. Like one of my friend say "Hope is always there"

I love you Jesus and i Love my life that you gave :)

Openness.. so what about it?

Hi all,

Sorry hohoho.. it's been awhile that i got tide up with few things of to do list in samarinda. But i should not miss sharing my life here kan?? hehehe...

I owe a sister call chin explanation about openness in LG. i almost forgot the things that i want to share till i need to read her blog again.. wakakkaa... u got to read her blog the one posted on 12 jan 2012, it's awesome heart sharing. alright, here it is chin

I do heard a lot about openness. i heard about some people share that there is no openness in LG so that it feels dull and it's just not as warm as before in the past when they all open their life among the LG. and i do heard people that want to start to be open to other people to build bonding towards the people in LG. but the point is, do we really understand, what kind of openness does God want us to bring to the world?

If we don't understand about it, many times, openness will just be another disappointment in our life.

My question is, if you today decide to be open towards the people in the LG, how open you want it to be? you share about all of your private life? or you share about ur deepest secret? if the answer is yes, than after the LG listen to it, some will pray for you and you will say thank God. and some will just be quiet and just listen to it. and you will say hmm okey. and another some will go and talk about it with other people and you will get disappointed. don't you think so? yeah that's what i think.

than if so, why should we promote openness? why all leaders talk about openness all time? well sometimes, we just don't get the whole picture when the leader share about it. what we get only "openness".

Yes, it is important to share life and to have openness in LG. 

As Christian, God really teach us to be open to brother and sister in Christ to watch over one another. ( i guess it talk about the posible sin that might happen in our life)

for this kind of openness, before hand, you better be sure and secure of your identity in Christ. As the bible said that human bring disappointment, only God will never disappoint you. so when you open your life to people, even it is ur own pastor, you must be secure in no matter what happen. even if it disappoint you, ur faith will said, It is God's plan and it happen not to harm me, but to prosper me.. to me, this kind of openness it is not proper to be open to the whole people in LG, but be open to the people that you see he or she hold the God's character that have heart to care for people.

As Christian, openness that can promote love for others that doesn't expect anything from other is when you share ur new life with the people, tell them about how ur past and how secure ur are with ur past and God have given you a great new life right now. To share to them about how God teach you to see things right now compare to the past.. how secure you are now to admit that you are sinner, that's how you need Christ. As you share and open your life, you have share CHRISTIAN VALUE into someones life. what important is THE VALUE that God has given to you, impart it to people around you through ur life. openness DOES NOT only come from a MOUTH, but it comes a lot from OUR LIFE. 

openness that expect nothing, openness that shared the joy that you've received, openness that bless others with the VALUE  that u've got from Christ... this kind of openness that we need to see from each individual in our LG. 

by the time goes, there will be trust growing stronger among you and Christ and the people. And by that time you will come to realize that there are no more deep secret that u would like to keep as everything in your life is for the glory of God alone. 

Hope this bless you as it has bless me many time. Unselfish openness, i guess that was the right word :), it was just as what the sister in the group said " openness that bring changes and experience"

Everything is Gonna be alright...

Tough, but it happen..

Want to deny but that's the Fact..

"You don't know how much you love someone until you lost them" 

Heard about that before? yup i heard it... 

But today even when i did not lost that someone, i still know exactly how much i love that someone.

Everything is gonna be alright for God grace is always sufficient... 

I love you honey...
