This is just a random thought OK ...
I was just thinking the other day:
Why is it that a church, that is supposed to be a place where sinful people who have been saved by God - encourage each other, forgive each other turn out to be a place where people is expected to be so holy and never make any mistake? Plus if we hear someone at church has fallen into sin (say sexual sin, and it was purely accidental and not intentional), we tend to judge him/her and talk behind his/her back, menjauh dari dia, etc?
This is just one of the irony that came up to my attention about the church! Aren't we (including myself) becoming more like a pharisee if we do that?

UpDATe - work
It's been a long time since my last update ...
Well, let me share about my work and what I do lately ... This sharing is in no way intended to boast about myself, but it's just purely a sharing and thanking God for His provision in my life ...
Work has been good ... thank God ... I have moved from ELAW (the only workplace in my entire working life that I didn't like very much) to CISCO ... Yayyy!!! I had to admit, it was very risky to move out of COIN software to ELAW in the first place ... I was considering to move purely due to the consideration of myself being "underpaid" ... I had to admit that ... and since the job market was very very very very good as well, I thought why not try to look around ... After all, given that in Australia people is entitled to be paid according to their skills, I saw nothing wrong in looking for a job just to get a pay that is close to what market is offering at the time!
It didn't turn out well at ELAW and I wanted to get out of there starting from the first week ... *so ashamed of myself* ... And then I looked for a job again ... Thank God that I got this job at Cisco ... I wasn't looking for an analyst/project coordinator role, but somehow God gave it to me *all things come from God* ... It was very much a surprise that I was offered this position even though 95% of the application that I sent was for .NET programmer role ... I was starting a bit desperate and really look up to God to give me a job ... I thought, it should be easy for me to move out of ELAW (due to my arrogance), but God somehow allow a lot of rejections happened to my job interviews ... I was starting to feel a bit hopeless after a few months at ELAW and all the frustration in the job that I did there ....
But thank Goddddd banget! .. I got a job at Cisco ... It's like a gift dari langit ... Better still, this job requires ZERO coding, which I really like ... So far so good at Cisco and praying that it will continue this way!
Good lessons learned ...
1. Always depend on God for everything ....
2. Acknowledge Him in all my decision making ....
3. Focus on His kingdom and righteousness rather than unimportant stuffs in this world ...
