49th Week

Looking at my calendar, gosh, it is week 49, and there just 5 weeks to go. I am so excited about this holiday, mainly because I am going back for holiday.

 

Christmas

My family don’t celebrate Christmas, because there are not Christian and they are not ang mo. So, Christmas was not a big deal for us, but I am excited because every year, we celebrate Family Day on Christmas. Family Day in my family, is a big thing, probably I would say bigger then we celebrate Chinese new year. Family Day became so important to us ever since my Grandma passed away, last May 04. She was the one who started this event. I remember my cousin who is the chairman for Family Day 2004 told me that, everyone (my family members) were looking forward to this event. All my relative, whoever are currently overseas already arranged themselves for this holiday. So, without doubts, I am excited and looking forward to meet them again.

 

Medical Checkout 

Talking about PR application, today was my final medical checkout. It was the early appointment, just couple of people at the waiting room when Daniel and I arrived. After registered ourselves, Daniel was first in the queue. After I was tested on my urine and eye, I was called into the doctor’s room.

 

Surprisingly the doctor was from Penang (my hometown), he was born there and now he is working in HSA. Well, he is ang mo by the way. So, it really shocked me. Anyway, I was sitting on the bed awaiting for checkout, doctor said that my blood pressure is too high. He make jokes that I was too busy with work, because my phone rang before I enter to his room. He was saying that I should get away sometime, so that I can relax. Anyway, he told that he will get another blood pressure measurement later if I could just relax and rest myself on that bed. Ha! It was cool on that bed, the a/c was blowing on me and I was actually only with my undies. My mind telling myself “relax, relax… you don’t want to have a high blood pressure, aren’t you?” Finally, I passed the medical checkout.

 

This was incredible experience because I just know that if we under pressure, our blood pressure will just shoot up like no body business. I am taking the doctor advice, he left the bed during the checkout and pinch my fat said, “ you should thinking about losing these…” I really felt guilty about it. So, from today, I will TRYING to do exercise…

 

 

God is here

Most of the time, we take something for granted. Just like I take God for granted. There was this saying that we will never need God if we never need something? I dunno how true this statement, but what I can tell you that at this point in time, I really need his intervention very badly.

 

Yah… my PR application. I have to find a suitable visa to have my PR granted that’s because I am not student anymore. It is hard, but God is here.

 

There are 2 response that I can react when I received some bad news. First, to be really mad, crazy and curse whoever or whatever they are who stuff up the situation, or second, be claim and just pray and let God handle the rest, slowly there will be many other opportunities comes to doorstep.

 

Sometime, I behave like first option, but I know deep inside, there will be result. But if I choose the second option, I know I will have good outcome, that’s what faith all about.

 

Never underestimate the unseen God, yup, I am asking you trust someone that is unseen, and know that He is God. Because there are many out there who can testified that this unseen God is not just invisible, but He do great things.

 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, soul and mind.

 

November, the season of life

Its already November, I have been working for about 2 years now. I am excited because I know that I have experience in working and if I leave now and looking for new job, I know my waiting period will not be that long. But will I leave my current job?

I learn so much, but I got paid so litter. Am I asking for too much? Hmm… I think that will leave you to judge.

This month will be the month that I will going to slowly going through my PR application. I am upset about the wrong information that gave my Immigration officer. I have been wasting almost 2 years to wait for these day to apply. Apparently the immigration officer said that there are no such rule that I have to wait for unless 2 years for my PR application under Business Sponsorship…. Well, that when the power of forgiveness come along….

This time… I really need miracle for the application because I no longer trust any migration agency, I heard no good comment from my friends who go through migration agent and make no recommendation.

Yup! Business with many year-end accounts now, but at the same time, the spirit of Christmas season is getting stronger. Ha! When talk about Christmas, partly excited about holiday and gift… but also the season of forgiveness and celebration.

God bless me as I go through this season of life… -alvin
