LETTER TO AH LIAN


"Receive parking ticket infront of own home"


Dear Ah Lian,

After reading your letter, immediately the following day I found the City council had made a statement to the public and an answer to your frustration. They are now issuing 3 parking stickers to every resident house owner there in Subang, for this the ticketing officers will recognise the stickers and will not issue parking fines for the resident there, this is their solution.

Ah lian now the resident have no problem parking there already, but visitors will still face the same problem of being fined, maybe some of us can use this as an excuse to skip visiting teaching...hehe...

Sincerely,
Chubby

I HAVE A BOM

Yup, this Chubby here does have a "BOM", and he is really "dangerous"...He preach...Hehe, well I think some of you guys already know by now what this chubby is talking about...yup, Book Of Mormon...basically this chub seldom go bragging around how true the book is or how this book has made changes to his life, but today after much thought of what should this Chub blog about, he has decidedly to say "a little bit of something" about this book...

You see last week Chub had a chance to communicate to a close young friend, she is young and arrogant, like her family which this Chub knows quite well. Some of the qualities Chub see in the family are that:

1. They are easily offended, often they get angry with small things easily, getting around them is not an easy job at all, one has to put a lot of effort to cope with their mood and dislikes, pleasing them is always a constant job description.

2. They are unable to listen, although they are associated with the church for a long long time, their ears are extremely small, they hear the teachings of the church, but they never listen, they'll profess its all true, but they'll do otherwise. They cannot see what the curse of pride has already brought and done to the family, they cannot look beyond their own set of rules, beyond the walls of the family, they cannot break through, they are trapped...

Well, I guess people like these have not understood the teachings of the Book Of Mormon very well, what the book to me is all about warnings, the rise and fall of the Nephites and Lamanites and the warnings, its all to remind us not to repeat the same mistake as our fore fathers did...I hope one day these people can find peace and joy, for true joy can only be acquired through the teaching of Christ...I hope they understand and they'll change...

"With the same method, we'll always get the same result"...a wise teacher once said to me...I hope they heed these words...

LUCKILY LUCKILY THE LIGHTS WERE OFF

For the longest time, chubby was struggling with a teaching of Christ...Forgiveness...his soul was burdened...






Till this General Conference, Our Prophet and Apostles gave us clear and warm messages that we should forgive, and never to give up a marriage easily, it was like tailor made for this chubby here in malaysia...It warms my heart and I cried and I cried a couple of times, like a silly fat man crying on a chair...ehh...luckily it was dark in the room, nobody saw me crying...I think...One word to describ it all...Powerful...

Now Chubby has new directive to fix things, hope the lord bless me to be successful in doing so...And thank you for the wonderful messages, I am indeed a blessed child...

PERFECT INSTANT NOODLE



Last week, chubby and friends had a night out chatting another two friends back in Ipoh, we talked about a lot of things and somehow from that conversation chubby was enlightened with a new point of view, a way of differentiating different kinds of people in this world; as simple as having a bowl of noodle, people will have their own way of making it perfect individually, basically there are two big category we came up with...

The first are the type who are much like opportunists, they keep on skipping from brand to brand, noodle to noodle to find the "Perfect Noodle", if they are not happy with one they'll just move on to another one, until they find the right one, never given much thought about moving on...Finding joy and happiness for these people will always be fragile, cos they'll always have to start all over again if situation doesn't suit their taste, the quest of a perfect bowl of noodle is sometimes right at hand and sometimes its far far away...Is there really a "Perfect" one waiting for us to find??...

The second are those who work with what ever they have, they are like practionist, they prepare for a perfect condition for themselves.For example, some have their noodle with an egg or two, a glass of iced chocolate drink; Some with a few sprigs of vegetables, a copy of a newspaper and some good music. These people invents different ways of enjoying a dull bowl of noodle. If it does not work for them, they'll just keep on practicing, until they make it beautiful for themselves to enjoy...These people will tend to have a much monotonous life than the oppotunists, but what perfection means to them are as a result of labour rather than a chance or oppotunity...

In life just what path are we choosing to make things work for us?...In relationship, marriage, school or work...Do we tend to switch from time to time in order to wait for the perfect one?...


For all the noodle Chubby have been talking about, this is the perfect one for chubb...At a back alley, having lunch together with his wife from time to time when she still loves him...
