The last line and that extra gesture, that's the kindest thing a friend ever said to me in this period. He also went the extra mile to help me. Somehow I couldn't picture any of my Christian friends in that company doing the same for me....
Sometimes Non-Christian friends are much nicer people compared to Christians... honestly...
less pretensions...less judgemental...less RA RA...

Hi Jason, first time posting I think. Sometimes, I do agree with you on the last part. :) Hehehe. All the best in your job application & the string of interviews u'll be going for. Pray for wisdom. GOd bless. Btw, KL or Melaka? Kekeke.
true... true...
It is because I'm not good, that I became a Christian.
The healthy do not need the Physician; the sick do.
Thanks for the honesty. Often, we think that Church people *must be* people who are nice and warm and all, but that is actually quite far from the truth.
Doesn't mean we're not trying out best to be.
And thank God for accepting us, even when we're not perfected yet.
