Pastor Cleetus

PASTOR CLEETUS




I've listened to Pastor Cleetus's sermon in Deliverance Bible Church. It was quite a thing!
I really recommend this particular sermon, especially to you youth Christians.

a human's vision (or something like that)




You know, ever since I realized advertising was the right one for me, I couldn't stop but to be so thankful. Been hearing thoughts about advertising folks, sharing how wonderful they think their job is. It's either, "welcome to hell bro!" or "you'll get use to it lah, our health is screwed up anyway what", you know something like that.

Yes yes, you can always debate about the whole meal skipping and sleepless nights or the 24hour job that awaits you, but in the end of the day, we do get to play big roles. I mean I actually have the opportunity to change the world's perception about something. Take the Pepsi and Coke issue for example.
It is tested that if you blindfold a person and let him/her drink a sip of Pepsi and Coke, they always choose Pepsi over Coke! And why is that?

Pepsi taste better than Coke because it's sweeter and people tend to favor its sweetness. But if the same test runs again, and this time asking the person to finish a whole glass, the person will choose Coke. Simply because a whole glass of Pepsi is too sweet for consumption.

Coming back to the point, we have the chance to look at things, the world in a big picture. Understanding who's who, what's the latest trends, what's past, and why people like crappy attire than doesn't match just for the sake of it. I mean, we have the chance, to change people's mind, and they wont even know it.

Why are the majority females in Malaysia trying to live up to the Hollywood lifestyle they can't afford? Simply because of what they thought these brands can portray them as. Well, partially it's MTV's fault (chapter one of my blog), but looking at the whole thing, it's really us advertising folks who made Malboro the ultimate macho horsemen cigarette and everything else as it is. And who're the suckers?
You, me and the entire world. But that's one of the thing I can actually be proud of. I'm not going to spend my entire life earning money as an accountant or a lawyer etcetera. No offense, I mean you guys have been really helpful in a certain aspect, but in terms of the larger contribution and the wiser one? hmmmmm..

Would probably not want to sound to cocky here, heck I still need recognition, lol.
To sum it all up, I'm here to make people buy things they don't need with the money that they don't have. Cheers!

kittens.what a pain.

Was a pleasant day. Mom n Dad decided to take Pam & I out for lunch. So then we were off to Seri Kembangan. Our car came to a red light and stopped. Out of no where these 4-5 little kittens started running all over the road and mum was making all kinds of noise when these kittens were still on the road and the traffic lights turned green.

Then it just had to happen. Stupid kittens ran up our car wheels and got pretty much stucked there, so all of us had to come down of the vehicle. We were pretty much paranoid wanting to make sure the kittens were all right. Some motorcyclists helped and joined us looking for them and took one out. Then there was another one who jumps down on the ground and goes up again for another wheel and decided to get comfy.

Took us about 10 minutes in the middle of the road searching for those stupid kittens. Still,thank God they were safe. Pam said, the motorists must've thought of it as some usual breakdown problem, but what will their reactions be when they see my dad using a pair of umbrella poking and shoving it inside the car engine. They'd probably be like, how is THAT gonna help?!

aaaanyway, the fish was gooood. no smell pam? she does not like fishy smell. one note for me.

freedom anyone

Attended the conference held by Youth Alive Malaysia. I must say, its not the most motivational and new thing I've heard, but it did help a little. Ironically, the best part of the whole thing was the praise and worship.
It really hit me how I should probably take my drumming for worshiping seriously.
My next goal? "Be a professional by year 2008"-Michael-. I've always reflected on how I got saved, especially for the past 2 weeks. How impossible could be easily possible for God. Also,how worldly things would just die away and how we should not love them as our God.
Pam showed me the Hillsong video that was held in their church. The size of the church was massive! And the lightings and what not, best instruments are being used for the best reasons. How nice. How skilled these musicians are. Wish I could be that someday, if it is really what I should serve in.

a month's back

After a whole long decade of not writing, I've had a couple of things running in my mind. Little petty things. Okay, I'll bring you through a time line from the start of 2007 till this very day. Early February. Still, I was clueless about my career planning. About when and how I'm going to achieve success (which covers many aspects) None of that was in my head at all. Then on that very month, I decided I was passionate about advertising, and took up one of the four courses that was offered in 95 percent.

From that time onwards, my life was shaken. I could barely see myself as a daydreamer anymore. It went on all the way to the last week of my college semester in mid may. I remembered, I have a week left to celebrate, all the joy I was about to have during holidays. The whole idea of relaxing and having enough sleep after months of hard work. Then I presented my work at 95 percent,which got me into an advertising agency called Dentsu. I was bloody shocked and happy, NOT knowing the pressure I was about to face. Having said that, I haven't got any rest from February up to this day. I'm still working in Dentsu, NOW. And I contemplate whether or not I should take up the next module of 95 percent, which is the third out of the four. It's one of the biggest modules that I think I should take, it's Idea Generators for God's sake.

But my other side tells me that its time to relax. Sleepless nights in the office was enough to ruin my health. The next semester is about to start, and if I take up modules, I might go crazy. Looking on the bright side, I THINK I'll be worthy to be higher than others. For the past few days, wild crazy thoughts come. Random things. Things like, I wish to get a PS3 and play the hell out of those few months during my college days to redeem myself. I've never had a playstation before, which is why I bloody think this is best time to get one. Or even, buy an iMac desktop and NOT use it for work (though I really need one now for work), or even a G4.

My drums are dusty, so am I. Suggestions anyone?
