I'm Starting to Hate KL..

Been working in KL since Nov 2008, but before this, I was travelling to KL every Sunday for mass and now i got fed up with KL.
Travelling every Monday to Friday... Taking public transport instead of own since it is more convenient... I am really a kampung boy instead of town freak... I like to be 'selekeh' but that doesn't mean I go work also 'selekeh'... I dress to proper though not to trendy.. I just don't care about being trendy...
Walking pass Petaling Street every morning and after work... nevertheless the unwanted disturbance of 'chickens'... "Mau masuk, bang?".... I was like, "Masuk apa?"... Sometimes I wonder that should I buy them breakfast whenever I am early... but never did.. I pity them... But one scenario that I could never forget is about an old man who is actually a 'Bapak Ayam' everyday will come out to the street with some joysticks saying, "Ong Lai.. Ong Lai..".... I was like, "Idiot.. Me doing legal job also never did this."...
Another reason, I think I am turning into some sort of a carbon-monoxide-polluted-homosapien... I'm getting darker!!!... Man!!... Dah lah single, now got another problem?.... This is really a serious problem, actually... I mean really really serious... For example, like today, as I was walking down the street from Pudu to Kota Raya, a young chic was walking from the opposite direction took a curve when walking pass me... I was like, "Huh?!"... I really thought that I wanted to suddenly step forward towards her just to freak her out...
Well... I should still thank KL for providing me more opportunities to upgrade myself.. I should thank especially the firm I am working with because there I progressed well in my job... I mean, I came there as a Trainee in November 2008 and now I was promoted three times since then to Technical Executive that is promising gold mine in near future... But. I still hate KL. Should find a job in Puchong.... Hhmmm

Who am I? What is my mission?

There are always some questions running in my head since I was 21yr. "Who am I?... What is my mission?... What am I called to do?.."

Well, they may sound like an action movie phrases, but these are what is going through my head for over 6 years. It's like I am sailing in the middle of an ocean looking for a dry land. Many times I believed that I might be called for being this or that and try to relate it to my talents and knowledge so that I could one day say, "Aha....This is it". But, I am just a 'Jack of many trades, master of non'.

Maybe my name carries the answers for my questions... Or maybe it just an answer rather that answers.

Anbuchudar Christie = Anbu (Love, Cinta) + Chudar (Flame, Api) + Christie (Christ, Kristus)

Anbuchudar Christie = Christ's flame of love = Api cinta Kristus.

Love endures all things and Love never ends. I hope that this what I am here for. To be the Christ's Flame of Love

C my life

Sometime before I have noticed that my life is involved with many things that start with the letter C.

• First, my name is Anbuchudar Christie. Some people prefer calling me Christie rather than calling me Anbu or Sudar.
• I prefer to take up challenges. Challenge enjoys both failure and win. Just that, sometime i give time for certain things before i take them as challenges.
  
• I give importance to charismatic attitude for myself and on others. This is how i got involved in reviving Chess Challenge Club and Catholic Students Society and became their chairperson too.
  
• I am a Christian, a Catholic. Well it should be Roman Catholic, but I prefer addressing myself as a Catholic.
• As a Church goer, i get involved in it's social and spiritual activities too. There, I teach Catechism, get involve with youth activities and KUBM (Bahasa Malaysia Apostolate), a musician and a trainer for Bahasa Malaysia choir.
• As for an animal, I like cat. I don't care whether it is domestic cat or the wild big cat.
• As for re-energizing phrase, I always say in my heart that "I am a champion. GAMBATTE!!"
• I have more Chinese friends of all races, but I never picked-up their language.
• I prefer their food too, and my most favourite is Char Koey Teow (Fried Koey Teow).
• My all-time favourite PC games are Championship Manager and Counter Strike. Board games are Chess and Chinese Chess.
  

Greetings 2010...

As the new year is here, I was wondering whether i would be the same person as i am now.

Since young, my life was very much complex that i hardly had a choice to choose freely. Choosing an option from anything and choosing an option from provided things are different.

When i was young, my life was full of pampering though i do get beaten by my mom. I was always the kid that was seen as the bookworm, or the smart freak in my neighbourhood and among my relatives. Secondly, since my mom's side were all Catholics, i was a figure of wanna-be-priest to them. For that purpose, i always try to watch-out my behaviour whenever i was with them. The best part was, i always get extra cash (ang-pows) compare to my sisters.

During these days, my performance as a leader is zero. I had never tried to take a lead but had been always with books and play-in-school-only activities, a simple say, very much introvert. This was how i was growing up from child to a young teenager, until somebody put a mirror in front of me.

Once when i was in Form Two going Form Three, my cousin who is much older than me, told my mom in front of me that i could obtain many more certificates and praises in academics but, i still would end up as untalented and unsuitable to perform in profession. That was my turning point in my life.

Form Three entering a new school gave me a break through from my introvert life-style. I was entering from all-boys La Sallian to a mixed-gender school for the first time. Frankly, my break through all started with some blushings. Meeting girls who are totally strangers and talking to them, was never on my mind, but there was my training base of my disturbing-girls attitude. Even till today, i have this attitude and it seems not stopping for the moment.

From introvert to extrovert. From being an audience to a person that takes the lead and perform. Making mistakes in leadership and learning to do them better and better. A lot of changes have happened in my life, and i enjoy them.

But yet, i had never changed that much. There were times that i like to not to meet people, being crazy, and taking lead. There were times that i enjoyed being lonely, doing something with full of seriousness and being led by others. Because of i could balance my extrovert and introvert attitudes, i was able to learn and teach basic theology, scripture, biology, history, being passionate about sacred music, and much more. And at the same time, behaving like a crazy person, being a risk taker and being bold to open a topic in table talk and much more.

Changes happen in our life. This year, we could be facing some new agendas in our life. Whatever they are, Live Life Abundantly.

Happy New Year, Friends.....

Evolution

From the joker.....


To friendly pal.......


To wannabe serious guy......

Aha..A bit changed......


This is my look now, baby....

Life is Unfair and Yet It Is Beautiful

Life is not so fair.... Once again life is revealing it's truth.

Comfort is many people's dream. Many of us wanted comfort living. Me too not so different. But again my employee's words always have come to my mind and reminding me why I shouldn't look for comfort for now.

His words are, "Never say that you are comfortable with the current job. You shouldn't be."
And, "Ordinary people, extra-ordinary performance."
He has many more, but these are more suitable for my sharings.

I feel comfortable if I don't work. Better if not waking up early every morning, but discipline mould a person to be a survivor.

I feel comfortable if I just do my job, without being curious and learning new things, but learning leads me to broader pool of knowledge.

I feel comfortable if I never ask questions and make myself look like an idiot, but by asking questions I teach myself more than the person who don't.

I feel comfortable if I reject to take lead on some jobs, but by being a project runner, I sharpen my project handling skill and at the same time I am becoming a trustworthy person to my employees.

I feel comfortable if I never make myself busy serving in church's choir, youth ministry both parish and diocese level, being active in Bahasa Malaysia Apostolate (KUBM), and also allocate some time to visit my friends in Nilai, but I have some knowledge and talents that are worthful if I share them.

I feel comfortable if I never wanted to start a relationship, just being her friend, and stay single since being in relationship with her could be very challenging in many angles, but I love her and challenges occur at any relationship.

When I look at the opposite site of comfort, burdens are waiting there. If I stay at comfort zone, I would be forever an ordinary person. But beyond burdens, comfort is waiting. That comfort is more precious because it is earned. I wanted to earn my comfort and therefore I could happily say that life is unfair and yet it is beautiful.

Declare beauty again

Good Hearts Fixing Life Partner

In a few years, I would be 30yr...Usually, at my age, many Indian guys would already got married or planning to get married soon with ready life partners. It is not so different in my life too, but the thing is, people around me are more excited to see me getting married soon than me.

Within my family, my aunties would like to look for me a nice Indian girl. When they told my parents infront of me of their intention, my mom just smiled and said, "When the time comes, he will get married".
I could read my mom's mind. She wished I could be a priest rather than getting married but I could see that there are some changes in her heart recently. Unlike my mom, my father's side would like to see me getting married to an Indian, and if possible, a girl from India.

Since I am serving for Bahasa Malaysia Eucharistic Celebration in church, there are people with different opinions. My church has a good number of Ibans. I serve with them and I do activities with them too. And there were sometimes where they asked me that I would like to marry an Ibanese. Moreover, sometimes I hangout at my "kakak angkat" 's residence. She is an Iban, but her husband is a Bidayuh. Amy, her sister-in-law, who is my age stays there too. Amy and I are good friends. We are like a tag-team in church's activities. I could rely on her on administration stuffs and she relies on me on getting things work. Together, we make a great working team. But people misunderstood our relationship and even wanted me to propose her. Haiz... "Babi sama babi mah. Sure bisa kerja bersama." We were born in 1983, the year of pig.

Nevertheless, there are a small community of Kadazans in my church who are great singers. My sweetheart, Phoebe Ng, is a Kadazan too, but she is more Chinese than Kadazan. Mom Chinese/Kadazan-Dusun. Father is a Chinese. There were at some occasion that they would like to see me getting married to a Sabahan, but definitely not Phoebe Ng. She is 21yr different.

Lately, I was thinking about these. Why these things happening? And I could come up with only one answer. It is because of the God's blessing. He has blessed me with a gift to blend with any community regardless race, age, and religion. I thank my Lord for this gift and I pray that He will continue to bless me with this gift.

Last but not least, I would like to marry only my love. I wish this is possible.

How I see marriage

Recently, somebody argued with me that it is okay to leave a man that could not provide wealth, does not have a good education background and the capability to earn a lot of money. She was arguing with me unrealizing that I was actually looking at relationship on another perpective and not opposing her thought.

When a girl chooses her man based on his wealth, education, and capability to earn, she is making a choice. This is not from love, but I wouldn't deny that there are successful marriages born from this choice. Marrying the man whom a girl or a woman has loved, doesn't guarantee a successful marriage too.

Marriage is a risk. If you are looking at a bussiness perspective, it is like an investment in shares. If in construction, it is like building a mega structure. Anytime, a small mistake could bring a big disaster.

We take risk marrying a stranger, though he or she is not totally stranger, but he/she is at a certain extend. We take risk making baby/ies. Children change our budget flow. We take risk in buying property for family. We take risk in buying insurance, choosing school and education for children, and so on.

Many of us could agree that marriage is a risk. But when we could say marriage is love and if we realize and could see that love is love, and no other things or whatever could replace 'love', and because love stands by itself without any other word that matches it. What is the better way to describe a marriage?

Marriage is from love. We choose a better man or woman as our partner. But is it out of love? If we love the person we choose, then there is no wrong in choosing. But if couldn't love the person we choose, then make sacrifices to sustain the marriage.

Things to be Revived. Maybe

There are a lot of things that I have not been doing for a long time. These things once were my hobbies, my talents, my wonderful part of my life that I miss very much.

First of all, I miss drawing. Not drawing buidings or construction details, but drawing nature, potrait, a beautiful scene and sketching. The last time I drew, was for 'someone'. I gave her a potrait but even that also I drew after a long break from drawing. I love art and I feel that I should start drawing again.

Second. I wanted to start playing Chinese Chess with somebody. I miss playing it.

Third. Play keyboard. My uncle has fixed my keyboard but somehow he lost the power supply adapter. I play organ in church but I cant play secular songs there.

Fourth. It has been a while that I've composed hymns. The last time I composed was in last year for the Kuala Lumpur Archdiocese Bahasa Malaysia Choir competition, entitled 'Persembahan Hasil Bumi', which was sung in four voices by Our Lady of Guadalupe, Puchong.

I am 'The Crazy One', Dude

Every individual has a certain level of leadership of their own as God created humans and He gave us the responsibility to take care of the earth. There is one kind of leadership that always steals my interest. The kind I call, 'the crazy one'.

Getting involved with the youngs since in my college, I see the necessity being crazy, immature (not totally), being a friend to everybody regardless races and dare to embarrass myself. But again, as a young adult, I feel that being serious on somethings is important too. With the mixture of these, both extrovert and introvert characters has been explored, making the leadership 'the crazy one'.

Once, when I was teaching catechism at Our Lady of Fatima, Brickfields, all teachers went to a refresment camp. At the camp, we did a session where we sticked a blank paper at our back and went around getting comments about ourselves from each and everyone. After it had done, I read through the comments for me. One wrote that I am a quiet, shy and an unsocial type since the person had always seen me sitting quietly at one corner after mass everyweek. Another wrote that I am very active, friendly and like to disturb and make jokes with others. Finally at the bottom of the paper, one wrote that I am 'orang gila'. It means crazy.

I feel very grateful with the craziness I have. With involvement in church's activities as well as ASAYO of Bahasa Malaysia group, I could not stop being 'the crazy one'. Thanks to my mottos, "Never say old" and "A busy person always got time for extra" that are keeping me to run along with this life without looking at tiredness.

Live Young

Life with Children

Children can make our world wonderful. With innocents around us, we would feel that we could forget about this world totally and our whole concentration goes to the children. Since young, there were many children that I have raised, played with, taught and so on. You may say that you did that too, but have you ever blogged it? These are some children that became so special to me.

First would be my two sisters, Siru and Thooba. Both are two and four years younger than me. Though sometime we fought, scolded each other, hurt each other and many more, my sisters were, are and will be forever ‘my two eyes’. I had given up a lot for them, especially for the first one.

Second would be my cousin, Kiruba. She is not a near cousin but when we were neighbours, her mother used to leave her in my house every morning before she leaves to work. That was the first and infact the last time too my mom became a Nanny. Kiruba was then a baby of few months but she could recognize me very well compare to my mom and sisters. So somehow, I became her nanny instead of my mom.

After that, Kiruba once again came to my house when she was going to kindergarten. At that time, I was in Form Three. Since I was going to school on morning and come back at evening, I hardly spent time with her. This time, my sisters became close to her. Well. Atleast Siru stopped complaining why I could get closer with some children compare to them.

After some years, another far cousin, Aruna, who was also my neighbour at that time, always dropped by my house. Her grandmother’s house and my house were just 7 metres away. She doesn’t like her grandma, so she would always escape from there and spent the whole morning till evening at my house. Sometimes, she would spent the whole day and mess my house. Haha..

At the same year, my family and me sometimes went to Klang to join the mass celebration at Our Lady of Lourdes church. In Klang, my cousins Theeban, Arievin and Clare, who always asks me to tell some funny stories, are there. Arievin, Theeban and I would sometimes talk about football, football, football and maybe some other stories. Once, I have bought a Professional Chess set for Arievin and Theeban since they like to play chess. For Clare..yet to buy something.

The next would be not one, two or three but more than hundred children. These children were my catechism students, both my class students and non-class students. These kids (now have become teenagers) were great. In enjoyed the moments of their laughter, the time I could spent with them when they were sad, their teasing, their jokes, their intellectual ideas and opinions and many more.

Then, there are three siblings. Children of my ‘kakak angkat’. Meiliyini aka Momok, Meiline aka Meiline, and Alicia aka Cha Cha. These girls always remind me of my idol, Donald Egbert’s daughters, the first one I have forgotten the name, Clarissa, and Claudine. Like the Egberts, I believe they too will be blessed and serve the church and be passionate with what they are doing. This family somehow has become mine too and sometimes I sleep at their house.

And finally, Phoebe Love Angel Ng. I call her ‘Naughty Girl’. She likes to point her butt to me. Haha… and somemore tells me that she ate noodles through that. Hahaha…Really very naughty. Since her mom always brings her along wherever she (the mom) goes, at the time when we have church’s activity meeting, she would ‘conteng’ some pictures on empty pages of my note book. Once she drew a seaside view with some clouds. I asked her, “Where are the birds?” So she drew some birds on the clouds and one in the sea. I asked her again, “Why you did draw that bird in the sea?” You know what she answered? “That bird fly fly fly and died” All I could think is ‘such an intelligent view from a 5 years old’.

These backgrounds do not make me special but, the memories of being with them are special. Siru, Thooba, Kiruba, Aruna, Clare, Theeban, Arievin, the catechism children, Momok, Meiline, Cha Cha, and Phoebe Ng, all these children made and making my life cheerful. I may not get the chances like these again anymore as I am getting older. I know that one day, these memories will be my treasure to keep me going through my tough life in future.

Wo Mei Zi Zi

This month, I have finished my probation of 3 months and my salary increased. Not so much but still I am happy that some money going to EPF and some extra money for my own investment.
Moreover, Valentine's Day falls on this month too but unfortunetly nobody could enjoy my treat. Being single also gives some positive results especially when you could save some money in the month of February.
Anyway, for those guys who would like to make your girlfriends happy, buy some flowers. Don't ignore my point of view just because I am single. The formula actually works.

Gay guy + Nosegay of flower = Gay girl -------> Gay couple

Unconditional Love

For a couple of years, these words always bother me a lot. I was asking myself, what is unconditional love. Though it is simple to explain, it is not very simple to practice, Yes even to our loved one.
Relationship without expecting something could not be an easy going one. Imagine a girl falling in love with a guy without even bothering what kind of future he dreams. Almost every guy wants to make their partner happy but not all fulfilling what they really wanted. Me too, though not in a relationship now, wanted to create a steady future for my loved one.
As a catholic, I could say Jesus as the best person to reflect on this topic. Not only for priests and religious but for any man, Jesus stood and lived as an example who shows unconditional love. He always says that He is the way to salvation, yet He never forces or punishes the people who sins. And above this, dying for our sin is really a great love for a Son of God to do so.
Me. I am just an ordinary human. But I wish I could show more than ordinary love to my loved one.

Free Hugs!! Anyone?

I saw this picture in my dear INTIMA's computer. This picture was taken during Council Jamboree Nite organized by 12th INTIMA.

Wondering who is this handsome guy? This is me. Am I not handsome? What? Don't you want to stay alive?

Anyway, after realising that the world is moving fast, I mean the lifestyle of homosapiens, I have decided to find a solution to release the tension from this lifestyle. FREE HUGS.

This may sound like copycat. Well, I dunno that someone had copyrighted free hugs. You know anyone who did? Introduce him/her to me. I would like to wack that person.

Another thing. If you could see the people behind me in this picture, they are there posting their favourite posts in order to support my FREE HUGS campaign.

So, Free Hugs!! Anyone?
