0064. "I Am Here"

I shared this song when I made a testimony this morning at church. I learned this song a few weeks back at company fellowship. It was nothing special when I first heard it. But it moved me after we sang couple of times.

I am here because of your grace
I am here because of your love
Lord Jesus, I am so thankful
for your grace abounds to me
Thank you Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, thank you Jesus
It's only by your grace
That I could live today
Forever I will praise your name.

It's so easy to thank God for whatever materials we have. When God takes us move forward, we obey. But we may not thank God for his leading. At least I never give thanks to God for where I am standing. There is nothing to be complained about at my current company. Instead more praises needed for where I am right now, either at work or at home.

0063. Human Beings

Some Christians make me afraid. I feel like being in the danger whenever I am with these Christians. Typically, I had not done anything but was blamed. No wonder people want to stay away from this kind of Christians, even if they are families. I pray I won't become that kind of Christian.

0062. Thoughts after Winter conference

The topic of winter conference is the preparation of Lord's second coming. Actually, this has been mentioned quite a few times in the last few conferences I had attended. But for some reason, it's not sinking into me deep enough. I find myself always forget about it soon after the conference ends. I think it is because my eyes are not always fixed on Jesus. There are many things that take my focus away. Even now, work is dominated the whole time. I don't think it would help even I post sign because eventually I ignore it. I think the only thing will help me is keeping on my regular devotion time with God and attending church meetings.

0061. Alone & Work Swirl (5)

My brother moved out recently. I have the whole apartment, YA! I don't know if I will get a housemate in the future yet. I am slowly moving my sleeping quarter to where I am sleeping to where my brother slept because there is wardrobe in there. This includes clean up all the junks and reorganizing my stuff. The wardrobe has a big empty space which has no divider. So I use handbags to store some of my clothing. Amazingly, with some clothing folding technique, I fit half of my clothing in there. I still have other personal belongings to move. Hopefully, I will be finished them soon.


As my job, we are supposed to get busier. In fact, there are some re-organization. We only give minimum to the feature phone team, which I was hoping to learn more. So I am moved to IOT team and help testing devices overseas. Yeah, this means some travelling! And it's great being Canadian - so far I don't need to apply for any visa yet (my colleagues are applying visa to Hong Kong, German and possibly UK).

Many of you must be wondering what kind of products that my company produced. So here are some of them:

Most of them are not available in North America yet. So sorry if you are interested. As for me, my personal favorites up to now are T-Mobile SDA music and T-Mobile MDA compact.

0059. Hot v.s. Cold

The other day, Mom told me that it's so cold in vancouver, snowing, under zero degree etc. I told her that's good. That's winter like. Unlike here (Taiwan), the temperature keeps around 20 except two days (not even under 10 degree). It's not cold at all. I sometimes thought I were too much. But my brother keeps saying it's cold. ^^ Don't hit me! I am so used to the cold weather these days. These two days, I only wear a short sleeves with a thicker sweater cardigan. I took off the cardigan during the yesterday Sunday service because of drowsy and hot air in the 2nd sanctuary. Of course, I scared many. Well, I can't help it. It was hot.

Wonder if Chinese New Year is going to get colder...

0058. Another beginning of the year and updates

Time flies fast. I have been in Taiwan for almost an year. I am now used to here. I sometimes wonder if this is all just a dream. More often, I wonder where God is going to take me.

Mom came for 2 months. It was so nice to have her around for a while. I was being spoiled :P She took care of house chores that Michael and I don't pay much attention for. It seems so easy for her to do it every day. I never get used to doing these chores everyday. LOL Another thing we did while Mom is here was house hunting, but didn't find a house we like. I learned quite a bit from house hunting though. Anyways, with Mom is back to Vancouver, life here is back to where it was - just me.

Mom was joking that I know more people than she does at church now. Church office is like my own office. LOL Thanks to Pastor Tsao, who got me involve in more church activities and services. Otherwise, I could be sitting at back of the pew and no one knows me :)) Here is the list I am involving:

• 2nd sanctuary organist planner


• 2nd sanctuary organist and back up organist


• Church web site webmaster


• Visit Filipine workers of nusing home every two weeks


• Part of visitants group (Occasionally)

Plus, two new items:

• Sound and visual system technician (which I am alwasy intersted in and done it before)


• English translator (Found out yesterday, a surprise)

I guess my life is busier and busier...

As for my work, I know fully back to being a tester. This is because I found a path to achive being a perfessional UI consultant. Also, being a Doc PM is not what I really enjoyed. Even though there are lots of things I can learned from, it is not helping me becoming a UI consultant. Right now we have a great QA manager, which I determine to learn as many as I could from him. He knows a lot of being an RD as well as a QA. Not only that, he determines to make all of us becoming the top of QAs. To start, we had group study of English almost every day. LOL Though I may not need those English practice, it's good to speak English again while learning domain knowledge. By the way, I move my main testing area from Smartphones and PDA phones to feature phones. Right now, I am studying all the backgrounds and environments, which is so boring, I tell you :D

So, it's another beginning of the year. It looks like I will be busy all the time. I like what Pastor Tsao said yesterday - this is an year of HOPE. Hmm, HOPE always.
