If you look towards your right on this same page, then scroll down, try to find something called “BIG things to be done”
About 2 years back, when you know, blogs were quite hot back then, and scanning through all my friends blog, I realized that I need to add some more cooler stuff on my blog, so things like “BIG things to be done”, “WISH LIST”, Tweets, etc.
I don’t know how much you’ve noticed but come and go, on and off I update it as an when I do finish a task or when I have more to complete. Anyway, yada yada, back to it.
One of it at that time was the Myanmar Trip. It was just introduced by my pastor for the children’s ministry and immediately I was interested! But at the same time, I was immediately reminded that well, chances is, I can’t go cause my parents wouldn’t let and of course, it will cost quite a bit of money.
So every trip they go and come back and as I hear the stories, AHH! It can be so awesome that it becomes so frustrating, thinking that I can’t make it! But oh well, even a kidzone teacher same age as me could go, I still couldn’t, well, until.
A couple of months back, I was exposed to people taking up jobs or internships at various places during holidays or part time, so I was curious, looked around, checked it out and all, then I lost a bit of interest, cause well, I guessed I wouldn’t have the time, and I wasn’t in desperate need of money. So time passed.
So then one day I was asked to just help out a full day event, which they would call working and of course get paid, since I was free and really don’t mind earning a couple of bucks, took the offer. MONEY! 😀
Then, you know, kept thinking, hmmm, what should I buy? At that time I wanted a particular iPad cover, some accessories, bla bla bla,, then on and off it will strike me that perhaps I should just give it all as an offering to missions or a particular cause, it these things kept playing in my head until one day when I had some time to think, I asked myself hard, WHAT AM I GOING TO USE THE MONEY FOR?
It was an important question, which I suggest people to always keep asking themselves.
While tugging around with my thoughts, I don’t know but I believe God gave me an idea, or perhaps reminded me, what about your Myanmar trip? If my parents perhaps won’t spend the money cause of education and all, what if I earned it myself? I didn’t have a second thought, in fact, all the more I started looking around, asking people, searching online for things I could do to earn.
Well, cut long story short, I didn’t get a job, but on and off got chance to earn some money or  save every single ringgit, I do it, and of course parents offered to pay for me, but in return, I have to like, do a lot of things for them. HAHA! Well, I don’t regret and I don’t mind because if I have never thought of it, and just thought of my iPad cover etc, I’d probably wouldn’t be given this opportunity to go. Oh and plus, the timing fit perfectly.
Now I can get to experience it myself! Indeed a DREAM COME TRUE! 😀
