Tiger Woods speech on Friday (US time)
I tuned into the golf channel at 0000 hours Malaysian time Saturday 20th, to listen to Tiger.
It was a sincere speech of apology to his wife, family, biz partners and fans. The line that struck me most in his speech was, "I once heard -- and I believe it is true -- it's not what you achieve in life that matters, it is what you overcome".
This is so true. Most successful people have received much accolades and much success. But if they had not overcome their own hurdles and battles innate to them, their world would have disappeared before them at any point in time.
The Bible tells us in Romans 8:36 that we are more than conquerors in Him. So whatever problems I am facing I will overcome and conquer it in Christ who loves me.

Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year marks the beginning of spring in China. Yes in Malaysia we do not have four seasons but in spirit it marks "spring" in many aspects of our lives. Spring represents "life" as living things hibernated during winter and flowers blossom in the wake of spring.
Yes I pray for a spring in the peace of this nation, a spring in the economy whereby new engines of growth are blossoming while old ones are continue to thrive. Yes there are many who points out that the political and economic situation in the country is less than ideal, but God puts us here to intercede for the nation.
Yes there is call for Malaysian Chinese to go beyond the Malaysian borders for business and career opportunities, but we also had our beginnings here humble as they are. I pray that no matter how successful I grow our businesses in greater China and elsewhere that the Lord will keep me humble, always teachable and approachable. And most importantly to encourage and help those left behind economically and remain underprivileged in areas of education and opportunities.

Poem by night
Grant me a helper O Lord
Grant me a beauty in Your eyes
That I may serve You
To always walk in Your ways
Mould and make me Lord
A man filled with Your grace
That I may love her with Christlikeliness
A love that transcends all love
I never asked for the right one
But that You mould me to be the right one
The right time and place will come forth
But mould me O God to be worthy
O Lord keep me pure
That I will not go wayward
And not to waver
But to keep Your statutes
And to be deserving O God
I love You O Lord
There is nothing sweeter than Your love
Nothing can compare to Your goodness
Jesus there is nothing that compares to You.

Before my enemies
In the presence of my enemies
You blessed me O God,
In their presence
You prepared a table for me
Of abundance, and honor
Grace and blessings from Above.
You showered me with gifts O God
Breakthroughs and victories
In a quantum You lifted me
True to Your word
As Your firstborn
I am doubly blessed
I seek not the gifts
Nor the glory, nor recognition
I only yearn to abide in Your presence
To dwell in Your love
That is all I long for O Lord
Let me rest in You
And seek Your comfort.
For I am weary, battled and bruised
I just want to be where You are O God.

The Lord's supper
We had Holy Communion in church today and also on Friday in CG.
The gospels tell us that Jesus' said that the bread is his very body. Jesus is also the way, the truth and life" John 14:6. We can only have eternal life in Christ. I read Genesis 3:22 tells us that in the garden of Eden lies a tree of life which gives eternal life and God didn't want Adam to eat it anymore. Hence Adam was banished from the garden and mankind faced death.
Thus in Christ we eat the tree of life in the garden of Eden to obtain eternal life.

Empowered by the Lord
It is a long road that I had to go through with the CEO (Jesus) of my businesses. The Lord Jesus' has a long apprenticeship program for me that does not seem to end :-).
But I am joyful that the Lord has always been there for me in the toughest and roughest of times, and each period of trial and every moment of difficulty, He has brought me through the storms and strengthened me.
To a lot of non-believers they do not know what kind of business we are running. They do not understand that my businesses is also a ministry. It is a ministry to testify God's power in our business and to do His end time work. Amen.

The Lord prepared a table for me
"You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows" (Psalms 23:5).
What more can I say? The Lord is good and graceful to me.
Many enemies literally try to finish us off but the Lord is there not only to protect but He lift us up high before our enemies. Our businesses is blessed with his abundance and overflowing grace.
