Friendster is good

Ever since I was banned from Facebook two days ago for no apparent reason, I had not been really keeping contact with people much anymore. I guess life would be meaningless without the Facebook. Well I don't know though. Life has been very quiet since my Facebook was banned. I mean I had lost all my all KDU Christian Fellowship contact again. The KDU CF and my secondary school's old timers. And in fact some of my ex-colleague and current colleagues too. What to do. Tired to argue or to make a lot of fuss anymore. Better stick to my own pathetic self. I guess Facebook has brought a lot of lively life and a good memory to live by. And guess what? I find it very ridiculous for the Facebook team to actually simply ban people without considering the person they actually ban. If they actually ban everybody that has been complaint of, who has added a lot of random stranger etc etc.. I guess the website would not be able to last that long. One thing is for sure. Facebook website allows everybody to mingle around freely. If there are times where we were not allowed to add randomly or having the fun to know a stranger because of just a small complain, I guess there is no point in creating this networking anymore. All restricted to their own rules and policies I mean it might look dangerous and people might get stalked at, but come on. This is cyberspace where we can always know people via online easily. Not everybody a stalker. That's for sure. In fact their intention are pure as in wanting to know the other party. Because of that they were banned. Then why is this website created then? Ridicules.
Well Facebook is a good place for different culture and different people to mingle around freely. But because of the stupid Facebook team, I guess they screwed it all up easily and I felt that this website is no longer a happening website to be anymore. They can create all the application they want, but if a little bit wrong, they ban. I mean where is the freedom then. Talking about freedom of mingling with people. Please lah.. Grow up a bit okay? It's a piece of shit only. Where is the freedom to mingle if all they were to ban people?
Anyway I do not want to comment anything anymore. Let it be. Complain too much is also useless. Better keep quiet. God bless..

Jazz MP3

I just bought a jazz MP3 CD from pasar malam or night market just now. Well love Jazz music quite a lot though. It makes me sleep even as I wrote this blog. I guess it helps a lot when it comes to me or anybody who have insomnia. But I guess it won't be me cause I can sleep well all the time whenever I am, where ever I go. Not bad eh for a normal human being like me.
Anyway just brought this MP3 CD. It is called World Great Jazz Artistes. Well I guess they are the world's great Jazz artistes cause their songs are already making me drowsy. I don' t know why but besides drum, I love saxophone a lot. And one of the reason why I choose Jazz music instead of other music is because of saxophone. That's why I love George Michael or Wham's Careless Whisper.
My favorite Malaysia Jazz artist would be Sheila Majid. As for international artist I guess it would be Norah Jones. I am not sure which other artistes are considered as Jazz singer. But whatever. I guess I need to offline soon cause I am getting more drowsy now. I will upload the MP3's cover soon when my computer is fixed. Caution for those whom I give ride to in future: In future if I ever choose to listen to Jazz music while driving, please step out of my car and do not hitch ride with me cause there are chances I would be fallen asleep in case I listen to those songs. =P God bless..

Word of Wisdom

Words of Wisdom

When there is an argument heated, please do not side any group, whether you and that particular person are good friend or you side the group because you hate the other party or being busybody. Guess what? This will even heated up an argument that might not even be happening. But if a person choose to be the peacemaker do it fairly and gently. The blessings of being the peacemaker would be earning credit of being peacemaker and not being the curses if the peacemaking screwed up. Learn to be fair and do everything in just, Amen?

Father's Day

Well since I am not around on Saturday and Sunday, here's a song dedicated to all the dads of the world. Whoever thinks he is either a dad now or going to be one soon or who believes he would be a dad in future, this song is dedicated for you. Not to forget our God, the Father too.. Hope you enjoy the lyric here. The title is Dance with My Father sang by late Luther Vandross.

Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then

Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved

If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
How I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again

Ooh, ooh

When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then finally make me do just what my mama said

Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he
Would be gone from me

If I could steal one final glance
One final step, one final dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
‘Cause I’d love, love, love to dance with my father
again

Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
And I’d hear her, mama cryin’ for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me

I know I’m prayin’ for much too much
But could You send back the only man she loved
I know You don’t do it usually
But Lord, she’s dyin’ to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream

Dear Lord Jesus, please guide the fathers that whatever they did they learn it from You. Lord mold and guide them to be the person You want them to be. Anoint their heart to live like You because they were first one to be created by You before Eve. Therefore as much as they rule over the world, may they continue to have compassion on others who need their help. Help them and lead them to live an example like You. Lord touch their heart that their children will imitate You. For Your glory and honor, Lord be with them. Make them like You. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Well the song was quite a nice and touching song written for late Luther Vandross. So I hope that those who have heard the song and watched the video would be touched though. Besides moms, dads are also a part of the family. Without dad, there would be no family as well. I watch the video, I nearly cried. Too touching. Anyway got to go now. Going back hometown to celebrate Father's Day with my dad tomorrow. Therefore need to sleep already.. Good night and God bless.. =)

Yesterday and today...

Yesterday was Friday the 13th. As much as it is another ordinary Friday, well to a lot of people, it is a day of unluckiness. Well to me it is another ordinary day though I realise that it is the unlucky day to a lot of people.

Yesterday was a day a friend of mine so-called had reconciled with another friend.
Yesterday was a day where one of my colleague's last day in PJ and moving to Kampar soon.
Yesterday was a day where I have a talk with one of my friend and he seems to be interested in moving into my house in August and be my house mate.

Yesterday was a day where I managed to find time to wake up from sleep and went to work.
Yesterday was a day where Malaysia was still given freedom from all types of calamity, whether it is natural calamity, political calamity etc etc.
Yesterday was a day where I can still in my room and blog about today.
Yesterday was a day where I still can wake up and thank God for all that He had done.
Yesterday was a day where I still can afford to have a good for meal for my breakfast, lunch and dinner. In fact I can add on another meal which is called Supper.

Well I can continuously say up my blessing for yesterday. Since when did yesterday was an unlucky day then? Well it never does because God is in control. Since yesterday had gone, today is a new day and new challenge to live by.. =) God bless...

God's Secret To Greatness: The Power of Towel

There is this one book I am really wanting to recommend to everybody who have the desire to be a great person, whether for God, for themselves and even to the whole wide world. The title of the book is called God's Secret To Greatness: The Power of The Towel, which is written by both an acclaimed Christian author by the name of David Cape and Tommy Tenney. This is one book that really makes me interested in reading cum studying the Word of God and knowing Him.
You must be wondering what is so special about towel since it is mentioned as a title of the book. I was also asking last time, actually not really asking but wondering. Well I came to learn bout this truth. Each time we bath what we use to wipe our body clean and dry? When we sweat what do we use to clean our face? When we wash our hair, what do we use to clean and dry our hair? The answer is of course, towel. Without towel, we will easily caught a cold, our hair would be wet after our bath and it takes time to dry it. What is worst is anybody who have a long hair would take even longer time to dry their hair. Isn't that shows any significant to us? For me it shows how a simple and cheap product like towel can clean us from sickness, from dirtiness, from wetness (when we sweat) etc etc... At the end of the day a clean and dry new brought product like towel eventually became dirty and filthy by just one usage.
Jesus use to wipe His disciples' legs. (John 13: 1-17)

1 Before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that his hour had come to leave this world and return to his Father. He had loved his disciples during his ministry on earth, and now he loved them to the very end.^[a] 2 It was time for supper, and the devil had already prompted Judas,^[b] son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. 3 Jesus knew that the Father had given him authority over everything and that he had come from God and would return to God. 4 So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him.

6 When Jesus came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

7 Jesus replied, “You don’t understand now what I am doing, but someday you will.”

8 “No,” Peter protested, “you will never ever wash my feet!”

Jesus replied, “Unless I wash you, you won’t belong to me.”

9 Simon Peter exclaimed, “Then wash my hands and head as well, Lord, not just my feet!”

10 Jesus replied, “A person who has bathed all over does not need to wash, except for the feet,^[c] to be entirely clean. And you disciples are clean, but not all of you.” 11 For Jesus knew who would betray him. That is what he meant when he said, “Not all of you are clean.”

12 After washing their feet, he put on his robe again and sat down and asked, “Do you understand what I was doing? 13 You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you are right, because that’s what I am. 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. 15 I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you. 16 I tell you the truth, slaves are not greater than their master. Nor is the messenger more important than the one who sends the message. 17 Now that you know these things, God will bless you for doing them.

Well those verse I found from New Living Translation Bible where it says that Jesus uses towel as an example to be a blessing to others. I mean its a way towards humbleness. Towards humility. You may ask what does it got to do with greatness? Well it got a lot of things to do with greatness. For one, greatness came when no one else realized. I mean its not being great. It came with responsibility. While it came with responsibility, it shouldn't be all the while full of principle. I mean making it rigid. In life being great is just being humble and full of humility. Wanting to be childlike. Not just being great for ourselves. But let it be for God. Being great is being simple and plain. Not full of any flowery pattern of greatness. For example, a person who is great is just plain and simple. I mean Jesus do not use His power to be great. His meaning of greatness is just helping others and show good examples. I mean imagine using a towel and a bowl of water. Is that man's thought of being great or God's thought? I mean you can use that Jesus' legacy is nothing that difficult minded but kinda simple. Washing disciple's leg is not something great to do, you know. I mean how many of us willing to does that? I guess seriously if I were not to know who Jesus really is, I would say sorry people. Washing other people's leg are for losers. Not winners. Winners get to washes their legs by the losers. I mean that's the pattern of the world.
You can say proud people still survive what? What is wrong with that? Why must we follow low class pattern of humility? Well for one thing. Remember that Jesus died two thousand years ago. Which means He washes His disciples' leg and does all His humble servant style still applies until now. What about our ancestor who does a lot of great stuff but with pride? Can we still remember what they have done? I mean we barely have any memory over that. You may say that is because we do not have biography written for them though. Jesus have His biography written on His and that is called the Bible. Well you are right. But do you know that Jesus' humility and humbleness worth written and it is written not by one or two author by four Gospel author. In fact there are more author imitate His attitude. In fact they encouraged us all to follow Him. Not one or two author but more than five. It is all written in the New Testament of the Bible. And the ironic thing is they never met Him personally. Only quite a handful of them met Him before. People like Paul, John and a few others. And guess what? They are all His disciples and apostles. So imagine that.. =)
So I believe the way of greatness is being following His example and by being humble and living in humility. If possible go and buy the book. I strongly recommend the book to you and to whoever wants to live in greatness. Let us start the greatness walk by walking in humility. God bless.. =)

My Funny Friend and Me

One of my favorite Disney song is called "My Funny Friend and Me" sang by Sting of The Police for the cartoon animation called The Emperor's New Groove. I find that song meaningful and please if got the chance go and watch the youtube for that song. Someone actually created the music video of the person using Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Quite touching though. Well that's for me. =)
Okay here are the lyric. Listen to the song and watch the youtube ok? =)

"My Funny Friend And Me"

In the quiet time of evening
When the stars assume their patterns
And the day has made his journey
And we wondered just what happened
To the life we knew before the world changed
When not a thing I held was true
But you were kind to me and you reminded me
That the world is not my playground
There are other things that matter
And when a simple needs protecting (*see below)
My illusions all would shatter
But you stayed in my corner
The only world I know was upside down
And now the world and me, I know you carry me

You see the patterns in the big sky
Those constellations look like you and I
Just like the patterns in the big sky
We could be lost we could refuse to try
But we made it through in the dark night
Would those lucky guys turn out to be
But that unusual blend of my funny friend and me

I'm not as clever as I thought I was
I'm not the boy I used to be because
You showed me something different, you showed me something pure
I always seemed so certain but I was really never sure
But you stayed and you called my name
When others would have walked out on a lousy game
And you could've made it through
But your funny friend and me

You see the patterns in the big sky
Those constellations look like you and I
That tiny planet in a bigger guy
I don't know whether I should laugh or cry
Just like the patterns in the big sky
We'll be together till the end is nigh
Don't know the answer or the reason why
We'll stick together till the day we die
If I had to do this all a second time
I won't complain or make a fuss
When the angels sing that that unlikely blend
Are those two funny friends
That's us

God bless.. =)

Re-learn the basis of Christianity

Hello.. I am back. Had been pretty long out of blogging. Well my computer has been hopsitalized ever since after my exam till now. Even now I am not using my own computer. Went to my house mate and borrowed his for a couple of day. Anyway here I am again. Wanting to update myself through blogs again. =)
I had forgotten since when but now I am learning to re-learn the basic of Christian living. I mean the assurance of salvation. At times I thought I had learn enough of knowing assurance of salvation, knowing of who Jesus is, understanding what He can do in my life but I guess whatever I learn is not enough. Now I am re-learning back what I had learn so that I would lost any of His assurance at all. Well beside thank God for that I would also like to thank Kenny and the church for helping me to read this book called Give me Forty Days written by Freeda Bowers. I mean at first the intention was to make me learn to grow in the Lord for forty days before Easter. But I guess I prolong the reading long enough that I am still in my final day of the reading. I always thought I have had learned enough from the Bible and of no need to any Christian reading material but I guess its hard for me to admit that I am too proud to say that I still need to equip myself with the basis of Christian understanding so that I would not live a divert Christian living which may leads to backslide.
Well seriously saying life had been tough. Being a Christian life is always tough. Tough till the extend that we do not know what to do but needed God's touching. Seriously saying I do always ask for His touch. As I had said it before this, my favorite bible verse is this which is Psalm 119:11, "I have hidden Your word in my heart, that I might not sin against You." I guess this verse is one important verse in life that we need to apply in our heart. As much as we , being human (mortal) still sins, but knowing that His word is with us, as much as we still sin I guess it is easier for us to repent. Somehow or rather I had learn to apply to use that verse in my life, putting it into practice and making me hard to fall even though I want to. You may ask how to apply it in life since it is not something we can do easily and tangibly. Well I guess we can, since I can, why you cant?

1) Pray. Pray this verse into our life and ask God to sanctify it from being stolen by the devil.

2) Read the Bible. If not daily, do it most of the time.

3) Practice what the Bible say without fail. You may not understand all things but be obedient. I guess in life I had been much obedient to God.

4) Be nice & kind to people who are in need of help. If possible give grace to them and ourselves. I am learning this part but I guess I am learning to release grace to people. I guess most of the people who knows me would know how bad am I in real life. I mean how controlling and demanding I am. Well I guess in life I am not the only one that has this character. Most of us does. In fact I would say everybody does have it. Just that sometime we do not know we have it. Some even come to the point, keep it aside and forget it and try to accommodate with others. I still have all those. That's why I am able to stand and say all these up.

5) Repent. Each time I sin, I ask God for forgiveness. Of course I would be bad bout it but the next day I would come back to God and say sorry. If I still feel not good bout it, I still come to God and say sorry. Say it until I felt and believe that God had forgave me. Otherwise I will keep on apologize until something good happen. I do not believe that continuous asking God for forgiveness is a sin or something we ought not do. If we are sincere and yet we felt bad let us not just stop there. Say sorry until God calm us down. I guess most of the time it is not we felt God did not forgive us but rather it is us who do not forgive ourselves. I felt that all the time. Well I can't say much here since I am a human being and I am God's product in progress. So no matter what the guilt would be there. What I can do is continue to ask God to change me and learning to allow Him to change me.

6) Forgive others. Well this is the hardest part of my life that I am struggling with. I mean I do not know how to forgive others. In fact I have more unforgiveness rather than forgiveness. I guess I just can't let go off all things. I mean in real life whatever happened to me, I always give in to quarrels and this leads me to face bitter. Well what can I say? People always right or at least I felt that they makes themselves right and I am wrong. I mean in a lot of way people does that to me. For one thing all the time last time, I used to wanting to argue with them but now I guess everybody is right. So no point saying anything anymore. In that sense there is less unforgiveness in life I would have to face. Cause there is nothing to forgive or unforgive.

Anyway I hope whatever I blog here does have sense to a lot of people. If not at least it gave sense to me, that would be good enough. Got to go bed soon. God bless.. =)
