Obey our parent no matter what happen

2012-02-04T16:15:00.002+08:00

Have you ever encountered this phrase before? "Come on, you are a big boy or girl now. Still have to live under your parent's direction?" Is this a common sentences that you get when you tell your beloved colleagues, friends or even relatives your parent did not allow you to do a certain things in life?

I am sure you all have, haven't you? Well I guess that it is so common here in Asia countries and perhaps in some western countries too, am I right? Well as for me, I would like to think of it as my life principle. Call me a traditional guy but hey, in everything I do, they are the one who give birth to me, they are the who feed me well to make the healthy me now, they are the one who actually educate me until I am this intelligent or wise. Perhaps I am not as wise and intelligent as everyone else but I do believe that I am wise enough to do I want to do in how to survive in this dog eats dog world.

Anyway my life principle to my parent is despite all the wrong my parent might do, I do not like to think them as my opposition. I would still listen to them whenever they had make up a decision. I do not like the belief that I do things without my parent's blessings. Even marriage. I would rather not do a certain thing until they approve of what I am about to do. I do believe that God gave them wisdom and knowledge in dealing with people like me when we were young. Do you know that you and me were young, we were hard to please type of child? I know I do. I am not an easy pleasing guy. I do not live to please others but myself a lot of time. Even until now. I would argue with my parent to get things my way. But when they strictly said no to anything they displeased with me, I would obediently obey. And I guess this is very important. If parent loses their authority on us, we will lose blessings from God because we choose to rebel and not obey. In the Bible, it is written in Ephesians 6: 1-3.

1 Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord,[a] for this is the right thing to do. 2 “Honor your father and mother.” This is the first commandment with a promise: 3 If you honor your father and mother, “things will go well for you, and you will have a long life, full of blessing. (NLT)” [b]

It was written by Paul. Remember what Paul wrote in verse 1, the part [a]. "you belong to the Lord". Remember that we are all belonging to God and God alone. So when we all belongs to God, we do God's will and getting our parent's approval in decision making even a wrong decision is part of God's will for us. Well that is what I believe in. That for me is a statement of making decision. If you make decision to obey your parent in everything that you do even the foolish one, you belong to the Lord.

Then in part [b], because you did what you did to honor your parent, you will receive a reward. The reward is a long life, which is full of blessings. It is not written what type of blessing we will receive but I do believe it would be a blessings where even our pastors could not even comprehend because the blessing belongs to the Lord. It was with our Lord Jesus' generosity who will bless us but it would be in full term.

So imagine this. If people were to tell you that you are big boy or girl and who still listens to your parent and they called you a fool, remember this. They are more foolish than you because they do not know what is the outcome when a person obey. They only know the short term of blessing and that is they could get away with their parent's (perhaps) traditional direction. But what they do not know is that if they obey they can be sure of a long term blessing from God. Perhaps not directly bur still a blessing to come. Isn't that what we as Christians want? Or perhaps the non-Christian as well? Blessing from the Almighty above.

But bear in mind, we are seeking the Blesser and not just the blessing itself only. So let us obey our parent and God in the manner where God is everything and what we want from life is to live the way our parent is please with us. If our parent are not a wise decision maker, well pray that they would be. Or at least discuss with them why they choose the decision and not your decision. I am sure something good would turn out well because our God is a Good and Loving God. Amen.. =)

Hope

2012-01-29T16:45:00.003+08:00

Last night as I were cleaning up my stuffs, I found an article containing the hope of God. It was a piece of paper with the verses and two quote from two different person.So I would like to take this opportunity to share these verses and the quotes. So here's the verses and the quotes. Enjoy.

Christmas greeting

2011-12-24T00:08:00.002+08:00

As today is Christmas Eve already, I would like to wish all my beloved readers a very Blessed Christmas. Remember that it was Jesus' birth that we have Christmas to celebrate. Without Him there is no such celebration. Christmas is not just about us but its all about God who came down from Heaven to die for us, lived a suffering life and persecuted to death. So all in all be thankful and be grateful that all you have are all from Him. We all might be reckless at times, that's alright. But despite all the recklessness let us all be more thankful than to be more greedy.

Anyway, anyhow, Blessed Christmas to you all.. May our Lord Jesus Christ continue to touch you all and bless you all. Stay healthy always.. =) God bless..

Happy 33rd anniversary

2011-12-04T23:24:00.003+08:00

Two days ago (2nd December'11) was my parent's 33 years of marriage anniversary. I nearly forgot about it and therefore I am using this time to share something about it since I still remember.

First of all, I would like to congratulate my parent for able to sustain their marriage until now. I do not know what is the reason but I do know one thing. Despite their old age, (Dad 75 years old last month and Mom 68 years old in August'11) they still hold their hand when they go out together for shopping and perhaps when they were alone in the public. I accidentally found out about it and I admire their love towards each other. We are not a perfect family to be honest though. In fact we are considered a broken family if you include the arguments that we all as a family have had. In fact we always argued. Between me and my parent, we argued all the time. From a non-issue matters to serious matters we tend to argue a lot. In fact it has always been a family habit where my parent will tease each other.

But one thing I noticed in my family's habit, we all love each other a lot. In fact my parent had impacted me a godly character which instead of them declaring it, they actually act upon it. They actually took care of my maternal grandpa until he passed away despite my grandpa's bad manners and bad attitude towards them. They actually impacted the 10th Commandment into my life which is "Honor your parent and you shall live a long and lasting life." Because of that I came to learn this love of taking care of them from they themselves.

As a family we might be rich like how the rich family impacted into their children. But guess what? I am also rich mostly because God is in the centre of my life and another part is because my parent taught me the real meaning of rich, which we as a Christian and that is be rich in love. Why? Reason is because God is love and if we are rich in love, we are rich in God. Ain't that what we should have and focus in life? I might not be love everybody (though I am trying) but because my parent love their father cum father in law, I learn to love my parent though my parent are nasty sometimes.

Because of what they had done, I am assure that though my family are not rich in materialism but they are rich in love towards each other and that makes me secure in loving my own parent and parent in law in future and thus my children loves me and their in law in future and so on and so forth. And guess what? Love conquers all. Not materialism.

So here once again wishing my parent a blessed 33 years of wedding anniversary. May they continue to shower love to each other and that love continues to be the the guide to love our parent and in law. God bless you Dad and Mom. =)

Grown Up Christmas List

2011-12-03T11:17:00.002+08:00

I first stumbled upon this Christmas song when I purchased Michael Buble's Christmas CD and as I listen to it and then after reading the lyrics, I found it a meaningful Christmas song although it is not the traditional Christmas carol. As I look at the lyric, I found there is love, peace and joy in this song where these love, peace and joy can only be found in our Lord Jesus Christ. Without Him there would be no love, peace and joy. Through the Lord Jesus Himself only we can gain salvation and salvation does not come free. It came through Lord Jesus' Himself crucification. So remember that it is only love, peace and joy that we could have life and have life abundantly.

Remember this. As written in Bible John 3:16

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

It is Jesus who gave us the joy, peace and love. So let us continue to seek after Him in all our doings, whether we sinned against Him or we are blessed by Him. Let Him give us the fruit of love, peace and joy for it is Him who can give that three fruits of satisfaction in our life.

As Christmas is approaching, let us continue to seek after Him, whether it is short prayer or long, it does not matter. What matter is our willingness to seek after Him.

Anyway here's the youtube for this song. Grown Up Christmas List, sang by both Kelly Clarkson and Michael Buble. The lyric is below both the youtube. Enjoy.. May you have a joyous Christmas with Jesus' joy, peace and love blended in your life. God bless.. =)

Kelly Clarkson's version

Michael Buble's version

Lyric

Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well, I'm all grown-up now
Can you still help somehow?
I'm not a child, but my start still can dream

So here's my lifelong wish
My grown-up Christmas list
Not for myself, but for a world in need

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
Every man would have a friend
That right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up Christmas list

What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?
Maybe only in that blind belief can we ever find the truth

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal our hearts
Every man would have a friend
That right would always win
And love would never end

This is my grown-up Christmas list
This is my only lifelong wish
This is my grown-up Christmas list

An evening in December

2011-12-01T21:14:00.000+08:00

I would like to start my 1st day of December cum Christmas month with this song. It is not the month of December that is so special but it is what God had done in our life that makes this month so different and special. It is a time in the year where we normally starts counting our blessings because it is also the last month of the year before the new year appears. As we listen to this song, let us reflect back to our past years. Perhaps our past 11 months of what God had done in our life and give thanks to Him with all gratitude. I had to say this is not a typical Christmas song but it was written in Christmas album by the group called First Call in 80's if not mistaken. So enjoy. =)

Lyric

As I wait here
In this evening in December
I remember
How it felt to be a child
This old house
Still feels the same
All the family will be here
In just a while

I hope daddy gets here first
To build the fire
He's the only one who has
That special touch
Then my sister with her kids
And my grandma who I love
So very much

Chorus:
Oh, I'm glad we'll be together
On this evening in December
We'll watch the falling snow
And hold each other close
I'm so glad we'll be together
For an evening to remember
On this night
On this December night

Sometimes out on the road
It gets so lonely
Cause I miss those special people
I hold dear
Though our calendars are full
At least for this one night
We'll all be here

How the children love
This evening in December
And while the smallest ones
Are playing on the floor
There's a warmth I can't explain
And I feel the love of those
Who've gone before

Repeat chorus

Keep the fire burning here
Until we all come back next year

Repeat chorus

Don't Drink & Drive (A touching story)

2011-11-14T20:11:00.004+08:00

Here's a touching story I want to share to everybody. Please take time to read and appreciate the people around you.. Enjoy.. =)

I was walking around in a Big Bazaar store shopping, when I saw a cashier talking to a boy who couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old..

The Cashier said, I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll". Then the little boy turned to me and asked: "Uncle, are you sure I don't have enough money"?

I counted his cash and replied: "You know that you don't have enough money to buy the doll, my dear". The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.

Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to. He said, "It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much. I wanted to give her for her BIRTHDAY".

"I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.' His eyes were so sad while saying this. My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister."

My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said: "I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall". Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me "I want mommy to take my picture with her so my sister won't forget me. I love my mommy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister". Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.

I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. "Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll"?

"OK", he said. "I hope I do have enough". I added some of my money to his with out him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.

The little boy said: 'Thank you God for giving me enough money!'

Then he looked at me and added, "I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give it to my sister. He heard me! I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. My mommy loves white roses".

I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started. I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind. Then I remembered a local news paper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma. Was this the family of the little boy?

Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the young woman had passed away.. I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before her burial. She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest. I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed for ever.

The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine. And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him.

Please DO NOT DRINK & DRIVE.

Now you have 2 choices:

1) Share this message, or

2) Ignore it as if it never touched your heart.

The value of a man or woman resides in what he or she gives, not in
what they are capable of receiving.

Still - the powerful worship song

2011-10-13T22:20:00.003+08:00

This is an inspiring worship songs that makes me come in tear. Consider this an egoistic guy like me who would be touched by the music video of this song.. This video is not done by me but I found it in youtube. Hope you are inspired and be touched just like me. =) Enjoy..

Lyric

Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me
within your mighty hand

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust

The love of a mother

2011-10-01T21:46:00.003+08:00

I just found an article that is quite touching that I want to share with you. I am sure some of you, my fellow readers had read the article before but let us re-read back this article and remember that, this is what Jesus had done for us. So enjoy reading the article.. =)

A converstion between pencil and eraser =)

2011-09-28T18:44:00.002+08:00

Here's something inspirational that I found in the net that I would like to share to all my beloved blogger here. Enjoy..

Pencil: I'm sorry

Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.

Pencil: I'm sorry cos you get hurt bcos of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.

Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad. :)

I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational. Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. They're always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way... they get hurt, and become smaller (older, and eventually pass on).

Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad.

"All my life, I've been the pencil.. And it pains me to see the eraser that is my parents getting smaller and smaller each day.

For I know that one day, all that I'm left with would be eraser shavings and memories of what I used to have..."

This is to all the parents out there...

Word of Wisdom 3: Childhood dream

2011-09-13T19:10:00.003+08:00

While we are still young, let us live up our childhood dream. It might not be an ambition but rather something we were fond of doing, perhaps a hobby and please stop saying what we did are childish now. It was not then and why it is now? We will regret it for the remaining of our life when we reaches 60 years because that is when we lost all our strength to do what we had always wanted to do when we were young.

My 3rd Worship Leading =)

2011-08-09T19:52:00.003+08:00

Worship leading tomorrow. So this is my 3rd worship leading in the cell and here are the praise and worship for everybody's enjoyment and worshiping God together.

1st Song

Did You Feel The Mountains Tremble?

Did you feel the mountains tremble?
Did you hear the oceans roar?
When the people rose to sing of
Jesus Christ the risen one

Did you feel the people tremble?
Did you hear the singers roar?
When the lost began to sing of
Jesus Christ the risen one

And we can see that God you're moving
A mighty river through the nations
And young and old will turn to Jesus
Fling wide your heavenly gates
Prepare the way of the risen Lord

Open up the doors and let the music play
Let the streets resound with singing
Songs that bring your hope
Songs that bring your joy
Dancers who dance upon injustice

Did you feel the darkness tremble?
When all the saints join in one song
And all the streams flow as one river
To wash away our brokenness

And here we see that God you're moving
A time of Jubilee is coming
When young and old return to Jesus
Fling wide your heavenly gates
Prepare the way of the risen Lord

2nd Song

Above All

Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth

Crucified
Laid behind a stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all

3rd Song

Beautiful Saviour

Jesus, Beautiful Saviour,
God of all Majesty,
Risen king,
Lamb of God,
Holy and righteous,
Blessed redeemer,
Bright morning star

All the heavens shout your praise,
All creation bow to worship You

How wonderful, how beautiful,
Name above every name, exalted high
How wonderful, how beautiful,
Jesus your name, name above every name, Jesus

I will sing forever, Jesus I love you, Jesus I love you x3

Lost Generation

2011-07-03T18:21:00.001+08:00

Father we worship and adore You
Father we long to see Your face
For You alone deserve all glory
For You alone deserve all praise
Father we love You and we worship You this day

Dwelling Places

Lovely are Your dwelling places
Thirsty, I come after You

Now I'm Yours and You are mine
and from my heart a song will rise

chorus:
I love You, I love You, I love You (3)
and my heart will follow wholly after You

Jesus, there's none beside you
Righteous, ruler of the earth
Nations will come and bow down
Name after all names I sing You praises
and all I can say to you is...

Christianity Vs New Age believers

2011-06-23T00:22:00.003+08:00

I was asked this question few weeks ago. The question was "What is the differences between Christianity and New Age?" Christian and New Age gave positive thoughts into one life but what is the differences? Christian have God but New Age believers believe in themselves and not God. They believe they can do it without any God's intervention while Christians involve God in their daily life. =)

Glee's Hairography

2011-06-14T23:29:00.003+08:00

I got a nearly complete set of Glee.. I am one of the Glee fans due to because I am fans to music. I love oldies, opera (though I can't sing like one), instrumental, pop and perhaps a little bit of rock and rolls.
One of my most memorable performance by the Glee singers would be the Season 1 Episode 11 entitled Hairography. Why I love it is because it involves a group of deaf choirs performing the song Imagine. As much as I was told that the song Imagine written by John Lennon of The Beatles is an anti Christ song simply because it sang about the non existence of God in our life, just like Hotel California by The Eagle. But nonetheless I enjoy that part of the Glee performance. I felt that despite the disability of the deaf choir, they were given chance to show their talent in Glee. It touches my heart because they (the deaf) were not belittled of their ability and were given the equal opportunity to actually tells the world they can do it and not disqualified simply because they cannot hear. I felt that is what the society needs to do and that includes me. At times when there are people in need, we should hold out our hand and helped them. I am a hypocrite in telling this but at times when I do want to help there tend to be people making use of me and my money by cheating me.
Well I guess we need to open out ourselves positively. Our life is not just full of disabled people but it is also full of people who are not able to help themselves. I was bombarded a lot of time by this sentence:

God will help those who help themselves

I totally disagree with such sentence because it is those who can help themselves that do not need God but all those need God are those who cannot or unable to help themselves. That's why they need God and that's why God need to die for us. I can't remember which chapter in the Bible but in this chapter Jesus said: I come for the sick and the weak and the poor and not those who are healthy. Remember that chapter of the Bible?

Anyway enjoy this youtube clip I post here and hope it touches your heart as well as mine. God bless. =)

Shame

2011-06-09T21:52:00.002+08:00

It has been a long time since I last posted my blog. Life has been very fast moving as now we are ending our 1st half a year of 2011. But life goes on and because I rarely have time to blog.
Anyway this is my first blog since March'11. Of this three months duration, one thing keeps popping into my life. I came to realise that one part of our sin in life is shame. Shame by itself is not a sin. It is part of our human nature. It is how we are as a human being. We are always living in shameful world. Perhaps nowadays people tend to do things in an shameless way. I mean the world is ending and people tend to do things according to their own understanding.
The beginning of shame came from our beloved Adam and Eve. They ate the fruit of tree of good and evil. Let me show you through the Word of God, The Bible. Let me read it to you from the book of Genesis Chapter 3, verse 1 - 13

1 The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. One day he asked the woman, “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?”

2 “Of course we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,” the woman replied. 3 “It’s only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God said, ‘You must not eat it or even touch it; if you do, you will die.’”

4 “You won’t die!” the serpent replied to the woman. 5 “God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.”

6 The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too. 7 At that moment their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves.

8 When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man[a] and his wife heard the Lord God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the Lord God among the trees. 9 Then the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”

10 He replied, “I heard you walking in the garden, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked.”

11 “Who told you that you were naked?” the Lord God asked. “Have you eaten from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat?”

12 The man replied, “It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit, and I ate it.”

13 Then the Lord God asked the woman, “What have you done?”

“The serpent deceived me,” she replied. “That’s why I ate it.”

Well what we have just read is one part scheme that the devil is putting on us. We are all feeling guilty over the same thing. I am sure all of us have faced the same situation where we do something we are not supposed to do and yet we do. And when we do we are living in shameful manner. Well guess what? Jesus came into this world to cover our nakedness. A lot of time we felt guilty but I do believe as long as we continue to repent of our sins and not drift away from God, we will still be under God's covering. Just learn to overcome. I do fall into sin a lot of time and yet each time I repent if I ever done any of it and because of that I still trust God is still with me. I guess we are all the same. All equal but then when sin appear try to go against it. Nothing will harm us if we cling on unto God.

Anyway as we read the passage just now, remember that Adam and Eve were blaming each other after they ate the fruit. Part of our life as a human being when comes to guilt and shame is we direct our finger to others. It's not my fault but hers, his, theirs and even its (for animal or any other thing non-human being). We blame everything from the seas to the sky and yet it is not our fault but theirs. Well one thing I want to add here is this. Money might be the root of all evil but shame is the beginning of all evil, simply because when we are shameful, we want the best for ourselves and ourselves only. I am saying this because I am also part of this sinful man. I am putting it into words to remind me that I am no different than Adam or Eve. Perhaps they are different a little bit cause they do have the chance to spent a short period of time talking to God face to face. But other than that I am no different than them.

So by saying that I hope that what I posted here would help us to understand who we are actually. You are God if you do not have shames because part of shame came from the sin that we did. God do not shame simply because He is God and He is perfect and by saying that when anyone of us sin, I guess we do not live in shamefulness but rather let us live in repentant heart and allow God to cleanse us thoroughly. In fact to be precise, I am also having trouble in allowing God to cleanse me simply because I do not know. But this stands as a reminder that each and everyone of us needs to live a repentant heart so that God can use us mightily for Him. =)

2011-03-14T22:13:00.004+08:00

I am worship leading this coming Wednesday at my cell. So I would like to share my choice of song for this coming Wednesday. These worship songs were chosen especially because I am thankful that we are all still alive and kicking. Thankful that we are child of God, that Jesus chose us and He is our Savior. So with this thought in mind, here presenting two of my choice thanksgiving worship song. In case you do not know the song, I am providing the worship song with youtube worship team and lyrics. Be blessed and let us worship the Lord together.. =)

But You let me hear Your voice calling me

Chorus

And I'm for - ev - er grateful to You
I'm for - ev - er grateful for the cross
I'm for - ev - er grateful to You

Jesus Son of God
The Darling of Heaven crucified
Worthy is the Lamb

Living up God's legacy

2011-03-06T16:53:00.003+08:00

I have a dream. I have a very big dream that not even monetary value can contain of it. But I believe that God can do something bout it, that is if He wants to. For your information, my dream can be achievable.
Well my dream is to be a living good Christlike legacy as I live now and until I die. I used to wondered (when I was younger) how would people react when I died? Would they be happy because this brat or this rascal had died? Or would they be sad? Would there be any good testimonies to share about when I died? I always wondered how would it be. I mean after all there is no harm in wishing for such a wish. It's not a sin if I have such wish but I do really want to know though.
Then I am inspired by this movie called Big Fish directed by Tim Burton in 2003. Here is the trailer of Big Fish.

It inspire me to release my "hopefully strong" Christlike walk to my children with the faith that whatever I had walk righteously would be pass down to my children and with the hope that my children would pass the legacy to his children's children throughout the whole generation till Jesus call us back to Him. I mean to be like David who passes down his earthly throne to his son Solomon. But sadly Solomon were not able to pass down what he get from David to his own children.
To be honest, my family do passed down something of God to me from the day I was born until now. That one thing in life is Honour your parent, despite all trouble and you shall live a long and lasting life. It is one part of 10 Commandment and my parent did not tell me to do it but rather they themselves act it to me and I seen the way they love my maternal grandpa despite him being ridiculous to them and as I grow older now, I tend to have my parent's so-called legacy and somehow or rather I felt that God is expanding more of this so-called walk into my life.
Life is short, as we are told. So I do believe that we all should leave a legacy down to our own loved one and not just wait until we nearly die before we pass on the baton. Despite all things had happened or would happen, let us live up God's legacy and may this legacy that God had given us be brought down to our generations to come, Amen?

Happy Valentine's Day

2011-02-14T00:03:00.002+08:00

Officially Valentine's Day has come. Now is the day. Well as much as we all celebrate Valentine's Day, there is some sharing that I would like to share. I guess it came from the bottom of my heart and in a sense I guess this is what God is reminding me.
Well Valentine's Day is all about love, love and love.. I am reminded that in this Valentine let's us all continue to show love to others. Let us not start pointing finger whenever there is a trouble in a relationship. Have you heard of this statement whereby a person says, "By giving my love towards him or her, I hope I am able to change him or her physically, spiritually and emotionally." The word I want to share here is the word CHANGE.
I am reminded by the very fact that giving our love towards our loved ones do not change him or her personally. I guess by giving our love to that person, we want God to change us personally cause loving a person is very hard. What more character clashes. I want this and she wants that. Or she wants that and I want this. As much as we can accommodate each other, how long more can we do that? You can say why not we pray to God to change our loved one so that miracle can happen. You are right. Prayer does change a person's character. But be reminded as well that as much as we pray for our loved one, let us not forget to ask God to change us. Cause as we all know we are insecure people and we blame others first before ourselves. In fact I felt that we never admit we are wrong but our loved one are wrong.
Therefore for this Valentine's Day, I am reminded by the Lord to actually ask Him to change me first before I actually blame my loved one. In fact let us say more good things to our loved one rather than more condemnation over him or her when trouble comes. If possible praise our loved one more and not a single condemning word uttered from our mouth. After all he or she are the one who stick close to us and won't abandon us when problem occurs. A good example like this would encourage our children to do the likewise. If you have a problem of doing so please ask God to guide and to change you. He will be willing to change to be the better person towards your loved one.
Anyway last but not least, a Happy Valentine's Day to you.. May God bless you and your loved one in this special occasion but let us not treat just this day a special day but may every of our 365 days be equally showing love and being kind towards each other.

A time to remember

2011-01-28T22:46:00.004+08:00

I just watched a youtube Petronas Chinese New Year a while ago. Well it was quite touching though to see a different commercial about unity and about life. How people longed to be accepted despite the feeling of not being accepted.
I've heard a lot of time by different older people telling their children to be a successful when they grow up. Some even go to the extent to make their children go for extra classes during their childhood life so that they can be successful in the future. Their motto perhaps are Suffer now for the sake of easier life in future. To be honest I do agree with them to some extent. I mean we need to have a goal for our life. To try our best to achieve it. As we grow older, our life became tougher.
But despite of that I guess we need to learn to live up our life in term of humility. A lot of time as a parent (I am not a parent yet but I do see a lot of parent did that), they tend to nurture their children to grow strong, grow in more maturity, and the main thing are grow independently. Guess what? All that leads them to be ambitious. Perhaps too ambitious that they gave up their life for their career and their dreams.
I always wondered why parents like to push their children to strive hard because at the end of the day, they will longed for the return of their children. Worst still, their own nurtured child actually sent them to nursery home to live up their final life there. I mean what is the point of making yourself suffer for the sake of your own children. I know that is a parent's love for their children but I do believe that besides providing for the children the need to succeed, there is also a need to provide the children to be a Christ-like children. One of the way is do not push our children into ambitious life that we want them to have. Let God deal with them in that manner, not us. Because of how we deal with our children, a lot of them actually sent their own parent to nursery homes. Is that a necessary? Let not our own ambitious unachievable dreams became our children's dream. I do believe that children should have their own dreams.
Below here are one touching commercial done by Petronas for this year's Chinese New Year reminder. Enjoy the commercial.. =) God bless and Happy Chinese New Year to all the Chinese out there who are celebrating.

Word of Wisdom 2

2011-01-12T23:48:00.002+08:00

First of all, Blessed 2011 New Year to all my beloved readers.. Well this is my first blog for the year 2011 and I am going to my blog with such a word of wisdom. I find it very true but very direct as well.. So here goes..

With Jesus we will suffer, without Jesus we will die
God bless.. =)

2011 New Year wishes

2010-12-31T10:14:00.003+08:00

Barely 24 hours more the year 2011 is coming. So here's wishing everybody a wonderful and prosperous 2011. May God continue to bless, to protect, to heal, to touch, to walk with us in our time of hardship, to speak to us in the year 2011 especially when we do not what is it that the year 2011 is going to bring us.
As for us, may we continue to listen to God's voice, read the Bible, to pray more, to care for others like how Jesus care for us, to walk the righteous walk with God, to acknowledge that we are nothing but a mere human, to admit that we do mistakes, to re-acknowledge that Jesus is our Lord and Savior & re-dedicated ourselves continuously to God. Above all, nothing else does matter except our strong relationship with Jesus. Even if we ever fail in life, we can be sure that Jesus never fails. =) God bless and a blessed 2011 New Year

Live for Jesus

2010-12-25T21:06:00.002+08:00

This may sounds cliche to some of us but I was just awaken by this statement.

Our powerful God came to earth in a form of a baby 2000 years ago. Isn't that sounds profound? No other God died for us and no other God actually came to us in the form of a baby.

Well as much as we are struggling with our life, let us not forget that God actually came as a baby and died on the cross for us. Live for Him and not for ourselves. It may sounds hypocrite for me to say this since I am also no different like you all, but hey I am also a human being. But what makes me blog it here is because I want to remind us all (and that includes me) that we are not to live our live simply for ourselves but a reminder that we should live for God. Saying and doing it is different thing altogether. That's why I blog it here to remind to put Him first. At least this is a good beginning of living for Him. God bless.. =)

Facebook Christmas

2010-12-25T20:55:00.004+08:00

I love how people use Facebook to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is what I found in facebook and I find it brilliant. Who says only voice and face to face meeting up should be the way to reach out to the lost soul? Here's what I believe can be use to reach up to the lost soul. Enjoy.. =)

And it's free if you know how to make use of the application. Please check up their website at www.ignitermedia.com God bless.. =)

Christmas speech

2010-12-24T23:45:00.003+08:00

Christmas is nearby now.. Another 15 minutes.. Well taking this time 15 minutes before Christmas to wish every blog reader of mine, a very blessed Christmas. Not just that please remember the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ 2000 years ago and don't make Christmas another entertaining day but to take His birth seriously cause it is because of today we are given hope, a hope that only God can provide. A hope for the betterment of our life and life of others. And by saying that let us use this day as a day to make our New Year resolution carefully. A resolution only God can provide for the year 2011 and years so forth.
Before I end my blog here, I just wanna say this. Everything I say above is also a reminder for myself that I will not take His Birth for granted but in all things, it is to remind me of how fragile we are and how a perfect God would come down to the earth to die for our sin and to give us hope. So let no one come to claim they are better than others, which includes me and you and you and you.. Amen? Blessed Christmas and God bless.. =)

Christmas verses Xmas

2010-12-21T22:01:00.005+08:00

I sent quite a lot of Christmas wishes to my friends via phone text last night and today I received a lot of wishes back. But one thing that caught my eye and perhaps disappointed me most when it comes to receiving all this messages was they wish me Merry Xmas instead of Merry Christmas.
Sorry to say this but I felt that the Christmas wishes had all gone in vain when I received such wishes from them. For one thing, I am a conventional Christian believer and I believe in wishing everybody a Merry Christmas and not just Merry Xmas. I find this word Xmas very troubling. Everybody may say, "Hey, it is just a short form for Christmas". Perhaps you are right but from where I am taught when it comes to wishing people Xmas, it means wishing the unknown.
Why do I said that? Come to think of it. X, a lot of time represents the unknown. For instance, when it comes to mathematics, we always thought of X amount of people. How many are there? X amount of people. Do we know the exact amount. Nope. We only have X amount of people, and this for me is the unknown. We love treasure hunt right? When we look for treasure, we look for the X sign. How do we know where to look for this X sign? To be honest, we don't. So how? Well we go search for it. And where is the substance of this? Well there is none. We just do not know. So in another word, for me it meant unknown.
You may say, "Well nowadays we all love to write in short form, text in short form and perhaps in future spell in short form as well". Well why not do it this way. Instead of putting an X next to the mas, we replace it with the symbol + and make it +mas. (Mind you, this is plus sign and not t as in alphabetic per se) Well + represents cross and cross symbolises Christ. After all you want short form and what is the similarity between X & +? Well X & + are just one one alphabet and one symbol. Easy for you to write and perhaps type. And Christmas is about Christ and His birth and not about unknown and its unknown birth or whatsoever it is we are celebrating. In that sense we do not celebrate in vain cause if we celebrate Xmas, what are we celebrating on this 25th December? Is it Christ or it is the unknown?
Well I just want to use this opportunity to share my belief of using proper word for Christmas. Perhaps for everyone who are not Christian you might want to celebrate this end of the year season with joy and happiness. You use Xmas instead of Christmas. Fine. Nothing to comment bout your short form but there are some Christians who used the same Xmas to wish everybody else. Perhaps there is nothing wrong with it but I do not feel right using Xmas to wish everybody.
Reason? Well as a lot of people had told me of which I totally agreed to it. Christmas is about Jesus Christ who was born on this special day to give us hope. And this Christmas is about Him and Him alone. We do not take credit over Christmas, how we celebrated Christmas blah blah blah.. Its about Him. Therefore, we should give Him all the credit. Take Christ out of Christmas and 25th December is just another normal day. But put Christ into Christmas and it means hope, the hope that God had gave us and this is Christ Jesus. And this is an extra belief I want to include here. We had murdered an innocent Man on Good Friday, using the most cruel weapon 2000 years ago and I felt we should give Him the credit at least when it comes to Christmas by including Christ in our celebration because He was born just to save us. Don't you think so it's a bit cruel of us replace Him using X?

Hopeful Christmas

2010-12-20T21:23:00.003+08:00

Christmas is apporaching soon, in another 5 days. I am reminded of this Christmas season, of not taking Christmas for granted. Well Christmas for me, is about hope nowadays. Another Hope blog, you might say. Well this time I am reminded of the birth of baby Jesus.
As we all well know, Christmas is about a Savior, by the name of Jesus who was born on this day 2000 years ago. (Technically it is not right, I mean Jesus was not born on 25th December but the date was chosen as a remembrance of His birth) Anyway Jesus' birth symbolises Hope. A Hope for the betterment of our future. He is our Hope for our walk on this earth, that despite all our weakness, He is our Guidance, our Direction, our Directory, our Spiritual Senses, etc etc. Because of this Hope, we are only able to walk right with God. Without this Hope, we lost our sense of direction. Just like the Israelites who were lost when God was not with them. When we are living in darkness as we are currently blinded our only cling is unto Jesus who is the Light of the world. Without Him, we will forever tremble and fall cause we cannot see where we are heading.
Surprisingly, Christmas falls at the end of the year. Therefore I am reminded as well that a new year might not necessary be good. For one thing, we do not know how the year 2011 is going to be. Therefore as the year 2010 is slowly ending, we need His Hope to lead us to a better future for the years to come. Without this Hope, we will be lost again. That's why we are always told not to lose Hope as losing Hope means losing Jesus in our life. We might fall and rise again but never give up on this Hope for this Hope never gives up on us. For if He does, there would never be any future in our life anymore. And by saying that, I meant death is awaiting us. That is why people said, "There is no point living since there is no hope". I find it very true.
Therefore let us continue to be hopeful that we shall live right in Christ and Christ alone. One way by doing that is embracing the year 2011 with faith and hope in Christ Jesus, Amen. One of the way I believe we can do is by starting to live a righteous walk in Him. Day by day and step by step with the hope that we shall able to live fully in Him.
Therefore blessed Christmas to everyone out there. Let us not lose our salvation by giving away our life to temptation but in everything continue to persist on for all glory belongs to God and God alone.. Amen!!

Happy Christmas (War is Over)

2010-12-16T21:53:00.003+08:00

There is one singer in my life that I actually admire from young until now.. Well his name is John Lennon of The Beatles. Some of his songs might be a bit anti-Christ but for one thing, I like his songs. His songs are always about love. Perhaps no one actually were to reach up to him but if he were to become a Christian now, he would be a great evangelist of this century. For one thing he always speak of peace. One of his song which I like a lot is his Christmas song. I mean since this is a Christmas time, his song entitled Happy Christmas, War is Over does hit me a lot. It gave me quite a goose bump as well. I mean all his songs were very well written. Perhaps it reflects how he sees the world.
So please enjoy this song as Christmas is approaching. God bless.. =)

Happy Christmas (War is Over)

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
Ans so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas

Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
Ans so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over over
If you want it
War is over
Now...

Biased preaching

2010-12-11T23:55:00.003+08:00

This morning God had shown me the importance of not to bias against others. As I took a bus this morning, there is a middle aged lady who was in the bus. She boarded the bus before me. As I walk towards my seat, she was talking loudly at her seat. At first I thought she was talking on the phone but I came to realise a minute later, she was talking loudly to every passenger on the bus, declaring to the passengers God's goodness toward her. In fact I would rather called it preaching to the lost in the bus.
At first I was feeling a little bit disgust, thinking, "how could she preach Gospel this loud and yet act insane." She kept on preaching to the passengers loudly and each time she did that, I felt that it is not the right way to preach Gospel as who would listen to a middle aged lady preaching Gospel and in an insane way.
Well as she continue to speak, I felt suddenly that God is saying, "well there is no right way to preach Gospel". The only way of preaching Gospel is to declare it to the world, no matter where we are. As the Scripture says in Matthew 20:18-20,

18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations,[a] baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

I felt this verse is suitable for this topic. Well as it is said in the Bible in Matthew 20:18-19, Jesus has been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations,[a] baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. In this verse I felt it means He is the Lord of heaven and on earth. So no one shall separate this authority given to Him, not even our mindset and our well thought behavior shall reject this authority. In another there is nothing to disgust about the way we reach up to the lost, so long the lost came back to Christ. Paul was jailed because he preached the Gospel. Stephen was stoned because he preached Gospel. John the Baptist was beheaded because he preach righteousness against evilness. In fact Jesus Himself preached about Himself when He tell the congregation that He is the Messiah that they are waiting for. All these people put themselves into a risk that they might be killed for going against the public. To the eye of the public they are doing the foolish things. Foolish things to them but not to God. Because of what they did, God bless them and make them whole again in Heaven.
What I am learning here we should not make assumption that when a person preaches Gospel not the normal way, it is deemed to be the wrong way. As for this scenario, I felt that the lady did a daring thing that no one dare to do and that is preaching the Gospel in public without fear but full of dignity and full of glory from the Lord despite the fact that she might be insane of what she did.
One way for us to affirm that we are doing the right thing when we felt that she might be wrong (in our own naked eye) is we pray for her. If this is what God wants her to do at this season, no one can break it. In fact we should pray for blessing over her as she is facing a lot of risk preaching Gospel this way. I am sure because of what we did (by this I mean pray), if this is God's will for her. no one can break it. In fact we should support her in prayer that she might not fall into the hand of the satan. Therefore please be less judgmental when it came to others using weird ways to preach the Gospel. At the moment I am saying this I just want to say I am also struggle with my mindset that she should not do what she was doing this morning. But then I am learning to accept whatever God had use her for and that is through prayer. =)

Who God use?

2010-12-10T21:25:00.002+08:00

I saw a good message from a forwarded mail that I want to share here.. I find it very meaningful and very delightful to know that the message is talking bout me, most of the time.. At least, for me I can identify myself with the message. To be honest with myself.. And I am sure that it applies to everyone as well.. Here goes.. Enjoy and be blessed.. =)

WHO GOD USES

God, grant me the Serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the Courage to change the one I can, and the Wisdom to know it's me.

The next time you feel like GOD can't use you, just remember...

- Noah was a drunk
- Abraham was too old
- Isaac was a daydreamer
- Jacob was a liar
- Leah was ugly
- Joseph was abused
- Moses had a stuttering problem
- Gideon was afraid
- Samson had long hair and was a womanizer
- Rahab was a prostitute
- Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
- David had an affair and was a murderer
- Elijah was suicidal
- Isaiah preached naked
- Jonah ran from God
- Naomi was a widow
- Job went bankrupt
- John the Baptist ate bugs
- Peter denied Christ
- The Disciples fell asleep while praying
- Martha worried about everything
- The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once
- Zaccheus was too small
- Paul was too religious
- Timothy had an ulcer
- and Lazarus was dead!

No more excuses now. God can use you to your full potential. Besides, you aren't the message, you are just the messenger.

1. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.
2. Dear God, I have a problem, it's me.
3. Growing old is inevitable. Growing up is optional.
4. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open.
5. Silence is often misinterpreted but never misquoted .
6. Do the math. Count your blessings.
7. Faith is the ability to not panic.
8. Laugh every day, it's like inner jogging.
9. If you worry, you didn't pray. If you pray, don't worry.
10. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling home everyday.
11. Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape.
12. The most important things in your house are the people.
13. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot.
14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry.
15. He who dies with the most toys is still dead.

Cleaniess is our virtue

2010-12-07T10:03:00.002+08:00

I am in Singapore right now, spending my end of the year break here and one thing I realised is that Singapore are way much cleaner than Malaysia. I guess one way of Malaysia can achieve the status of vision 2020 and not encourage wastage is the resident of Malaysia should for one:

1) do not throw rubbish everywhere. Unlike Singaporean, they have a proper place to throw rubbish and recycling centre. By not throwing rubbish every year on the floor or any public area, the government of Malaysia would save billions of Ringgit to rejuvenate cleanliness and thus, use up the money for other purposes.

2) do not make the river dirty. One thing I realised in the yearly Malaysia budget is they have yearly rejuvenate the river by providing billions of Ringgit to clean the river. So one way not to spent this much is don't throw any rubbish into river or dirty the river.

3) do not make our toilet dirty. Every citizen should treat the public toilet like their own house toilet. With that kind of mind intact, the government do not need to spent billion of Ringgit into cleaning the money.

The list would go on and on and on.. So in my own humble opinion, it was the resident's fault that our tax money goes into drain. Do not blame the government for it. It is our responsible to make our country clean, our river clean, our public toilet clean and etc etc.. Just like how it is our responsible to make our house, room and even the compound clean. Have a blessed week ahead..

What Child Is This?

2010-11-29T00:00:00.004+08:00

One of my favorite Christmas Carol besides O'Holy Night would be "What Child Is This"? I find this song very humbling. I mean not to say other Christmas Carols not humbling enough. But this song kept me thinking. Why of all the children during those time it was Jesus who came into this world and save mankind. I mean truthfully speaking for those who were not Christian and believer of Christ, do you know that you are singing about the birth of Jesus Christ, despite the fact it is end of the year shopping sale. I mean Christmas supposed to be a religious celebration but then world had commercialized it and thus the true meaning of Christmas is slowly missing. But guess what I do not think that the true meaning of Christmas has slowly diminishing yet but rather it is slowly increasing.
With the very fact that Christmas Carol is sang throughout the month of December it shows that Jesus' name is still glorifying. We don't see any other religion song during the month of December, don't we? But seriously saying this "What Child Is This" is one truly touching song. It talks about humility. Jesus was born not in a castle or mansion but rather a barn. I mean coming to think of it, how many of us were born in a barn as far as you remember? Not only that when Jesus went to Heaven, the very first time He do when He went back, He prepared us mansion. I mean we all born in a proper hospital and when we die we got mansion? But when Jesus was born He was born in a barn and when He went back to Heaven, He had to prepared us mansion some more? I mean isn't that unfair. So do you agree with me it is very humbling song? And when He was born in the barn, thank God that there are three kings or wise man who came and shower with gifts. How bout us,the normal human being (if we were given chance to go back to the past)? Would we go and greet this new born King or we just walk past by Him and ignore Him? I guess that is the question we should ask ourselves. I mean even to me, as a reminder. So as usual Christmas is about Jesus Christ and not anybody else. In fact if you were born on Christmas Day too, please remember Him and put Him first then only your birthday. You might say it's difficult and not easy to glorify Him and not me, me and me. Well guess what? I was born two days after Christmas. So imagine the struggle at times of me putting Him first rather me. So may this blessed and special day be a blessing to you and me cause without Him, there is no me and you, Amen?

What Child Is This

What Child is this who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?

[CHORUS]
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Why lies He in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.

[CHORUS]

Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,
The cross be borne for me, for you.
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

[CHORUS]

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
Come peasant, king to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

[CHORUS]

Raise, raise a song on high,
The virgin sings her lullaby.
Joy, joy for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Christmas Gift

2010-11-25T22:59:00.002+08:00

Today is 25th November 2010 which are also exactly a month before Christmas. I realised it just a while ago. Well I guess by saying Christmas is approaching, I have a list of things that I wanted in life. Not so badly but then if I could have it why not? I do not believe that having a list of things I wanted in life is childish,just like little kid wanting gifts. I do believe that giving gifts and wanting gifts is a part and parcel of our life. We desire something and we wish we could have it.
Anyway there is one thing in life I would like to have and that is getting a big crystal ball.. I love their snowflakes a lot.. =) How I wish I could have it though.. =P

The chosen one verse the perfect one

2010-11-02T20:53:00.003+08:00

I just realised I blog more nowadays than ever.. Nearly everyday I can blog something out of nothing. Nonetheless I do have one more thought in mind after observing how others behave. I would not say I would not have it but then I guess we are all human being, living in same manner, earthly, sinful and yet imperfect.
This thought came when we talk about BGR or in full "boy girl relationship" as we all are familiar with it. As a guy, I've listened quite a lot of topic concerning BGR. Each time such topic were bought people would invited us girl or guy alike to hear and understand what this topic is all about and how God would want a healthy Christlike relationship being ordained by Him. Well as much as I had listened a lot of time concerning this topic, I found out one thing that this topic to me is not proper guided.
Christians love to preach about BGR in terms of when we pray and ask God to direct us God will lead to the perfect partner for us. A lot of time I've heard this sentence and I find it quite misleading. So if we were to pray to God, God would choose for us a perfect partner? What happened if we do not hear from God? Means we are not supposed to get married. I don't like the way Christians preach bout it though although it may be "sounded" correct. Because for me no one is perfect. I'd rather hear Christians who preach about BGR to mention the right one. I guess that three word would be much more accurate. Cause I met quite a few single Christians especially ladies. They told me that they are still waiting for the God's perfect partner for them. As I said it earlier, no one is perfect, and no one but God. So unless and until you longed to get married might as well celibate for God. After all He is our Bridegroom.
Because of that a lot of them choose high standard over their future partner. I met one who told me that she wants to have a rich, handsome and spirit-filled Christian guy. I find it disturbing cause those kind of guy are either taken long long time ago, a non-believer perhaps (which disqualified her third criteria) or just a dream to her. I felt that the word perfect is disillusioned that those who are rich, handsome and spirit-filled are the perfect one. So what happened if only non-believer guy are rich, handsome and spirit-filled (my spirit filled here means religious but non-believer)? Would they go for them? I felt that these criteria are kind of biased towards the poor. I mean there are a lot of not-so-rich guys all around and they are spirit-filled too (in our Lord Jesus Christ). They might not be rich physically but they are rich in the eye of God cause they are rich in character, a righteous child of God. They might not be handsome in man's view but to God they are handsome because they reflect God's image. Unless of course we said God is not handsome la. Then that would be another interesting topic all by itself.
I believe that what God meant is a perfect partner to His children would be someone who would be there till death to us part and who would be there regardless of tiredness, hardship etc etc.. That's why I believe that for two to become one, the first party must accept the second party not because of their earthly belonging but rather because they can live together despite all sufferings, hardships and any negative outcome. Therefore I do urge my fellow Christian brothers and sisters, do preach BGR in a gentle and precise manner to avoid all future misunderstanding and misleading of understanding, Amen.

Sin

2010-11-02T00:05:00.003+08:00

I've a confession to make.. I am a sinner. I've sinned a lot. Of all the sin that I've did, I always thought this sin is the worst sin. It makes me feel guilty like no one's business.. I felt like I am the only Christian who sin big over this matter. I won't say what sin is that but this is what I shall say. This sin although makes me guilty like never, but then I always realised that God never let me go despite all the guilt. But there is a secret. Do not harden ourselves when it comes to the same sin. That's what I learn from going through this sin. Continue ask God to forgive us and make us whole again. So that is what I said all these while and despite all guiltiness I still trust in the Lord. I might not be able to easily let this sin go away although it is bugging me a lot, but Lord, I will never stop asking You for forgiveness even though I've done it. Hopefully by doing or saying this, You will make me stronger to overcome this sin. As always as I believe, without You in my life, my life had long gone. So by saying this, please continue to help me overcome and give me the stronger urge to overcome the sin and to glorify Your name. Amen.

Time Bank

2010-10-31T17:40:00.004+08:00

I found this article on my calender and I felt that it is very true what was written on the article. Here I would like to share it with all those who might read my blog. Enjoy..

Time Bank

Each of us has a bank. It is called TIME. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as loss, whatever you have failed to invest to good purpose.

It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night, it burns he remains of the day.

If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against "tomorrow". You must live on today's deposits. Invest it to get the utmost in health, happiness and success!!

To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask the student who failed. To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth prematurely. To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper. To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers waiting to meet. To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask the person who missed the bus. To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask the person who just avoided an accident.

Remember that time waits for no one. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called the Present!!

Materialism is the root of evil (but not all evil)

2010-10-31T00:21:00.003+08:00

Of late, I was kind of depressed. Perhaps it was myself, perhaps it was not. At work I was trying to be the nicest guy ever, in a way trying to be helpful in whatever situation I am in but somehow I felt that I had failed. I felt that people are trying to use me for their own purposes. But of course not all would do that to me but I just felt that is what was happening. Then my friends were trying to ask me to change job and join the corporate world of which I could earn more than what I am earning now.
Last week I went to church and Pastor Bernard Blessing from Ghana came to Glad Tidings Petaling Jaya and when he was prophesying he ask for a person whom he heard God calls (Pastor Bernard does not know the name) who are working in semi government company and wanting to serve God and perhaps open a public serving office in future and Pastor Bernard said that the person who were called would know it is him that God is calling. I do felt that I was the one since I am working for UTAR which is sort of semi government company since it is wholly owned by MCA. I to have the heart to serve God and people using my availability in the my office at this moment but guess what. I blow it away. I always wondered what God wants in my life. That my life as a Christian are kinda useless for Him to use me for. And I hardly have anybody come over me to be prophesied.
Anyway I do felt that a lot of people are material to tell me what to do. For example, when comes to job-wise, they would always ask me to earn big and earn big means working in corporate world. There would be tonnes of money there I can earn. Well I know I can succeed in life if I were to work in corporate world but do you think that there would be time to serve the Lord there? I mean when I talk bout serving I mean be honest Christian and be a Christlike Christian? Well it can be done though. I do agree with whosoever said that but then I do not have much time for any other things and when it comes to dealing with money there are a lot of chances of me being greedy and materialistic. I'd rather wait for God's appointed time that when He tell me to go, only then I will go. Otherwise I would go to another institution to serve God there since my current company is also another institution.
A classic Bible example for this matter would be King David. Please read 1 Samuel 16:1-23. In this chapter Samuel were just after mourning to God after Saul sinned against God. God tell him to look for the appointed one who will take over from Saul. He went to Bethlehem and look for Jesse's son. None of the seven son were the chosen one except for David who was the youngest and was herding sheep at that time. I would like that to be done on me. I mean being God's appointed one to serve Him whenever I am.
I have to admit working in corporate world is very tempting. I mean the money is big. Well I used to dream that big dream. I mean to earn big, get a beautiful wife, have big house and car and perhaps own my own audit firm since I am doing accountancy. Well I guess those dream were long disappear even before I managed to graduate. I find that dream although excellent, but then where in the world do I have the time to serve Him in whatever capabilities. Well you may said, why not while on the way to reach to the top, you do whatever you can for Him and then when you are a the top there, you can actually do bigger things for Him.
Well nice to say, nice to hear but is it easy to do? I felt a bit disappointed when churches nowadays use money as God's blessing to the congregation. Churches nowadays love to preach about money, how God uses money to bless others. So therefore let us keep on pray for more financial blessing. Well it is important and good to pray for that, but why don't we also ask & pray to God for more heart of God to be upon us. I find it very unrealistic to just pray for God to bless us financially. I believe that we should also include in our prayer, asking God to grant us a Godly heart, a heart that cares for those who are not rich, for those who sins etc etc. Sometimes when a certain Christian became rich they forgot about serving God. Instead they uses money to do other things.
I am kind of disappointing with our current political situation here in Malaysia. Christian politicians fight among themselves just to get fame and wealth. It does not matter they are from Barisan or Pakatan, I actually wondered do they actually fought for the rights of rakyat or just for themselves. There are even some Christians knowing that I support Barisan come to me and scolded me. Is it necessary? We are all one big family of Christ and we fight for the same matter which is for justice, integrity and rights of the rakyat. If a person supports Pakatan go ahead and support. Why argue? The argument does not unite us at all as a Christian. As a result the devil wins. Is that what we want? By saying that I hereby declare my support for Datin Linda Tsen from PBS. I do believe we need more Christian politician to serve the country with all their heart, which make me wondered is last week's calling from God to Pastor Bernard Blessing is for me? He (Pastor Bernard) just said the person is someone who are working in semi government company and who have the desire to serve the Lord, perhaps wanting to open a small public service in future and felt that it is impossible to do so. Well I do work in so-called semi government company. I do have the heart to serve the Lord and open a small public service (I never thought of it) but I do feel that I can hardly do anything big for Him. So out of the criteria, I do have three.. Hmmm...

The power of waving

2010-10-21T00:24:00.003+08:00

Of late, I felt that God had taught me something new, something refreshing, something worth blogging it up. It is the power of waving. Well what I mean by waving?
Well I always wondered why do the beauty queen loves to wave? Why would anybody even the leader of a country love to wave at their subjects? Well one thing I found out. It reminds me of importance of humility. I went to work everyday and I wave to my fellow colleagues, the guards, the cleaners and those of lower position than me good morning. I guess it makes them feel good that there are people out there who would wish them good morning and I guess it is a beginning of a good day for them.
Then when afternoon came, I wave at them. I guess despite of all the problems they get that morning, they can still sees people waving at them and greet them. At that moment I do hope that they will sense that someone cares. Well what happened was that everybody got their problems during the morning they work and yet they still wave. And I guess that is important to them that despite that there are negativeness, positive still came by. Came by via waving wishing all the best.
Then when evening came, it means everybody is ready to go home. Normally when it is time to go home, people normally rush back without even saying goodbye. So they wave to assure that despite all the rush, they still care. How to show care, you may ask? Well of course by waving. Waving to show that despite going home now, there would be more waving tomorrow for we all care. Waving shows care. Bye bye.. (Waving all those who are reading this now.. )

My Dream

2010-08-10T22:14:00.002+08:00

I have a dream and I am building up myself to achieve this dream. This dream is not the materialism type of dream. It is more like a dream I want to achieve with what I have right now. Okay.. Actually my dream is so simple. I want to build a library in my house. I want to fill myself with books and start reading them. =) I want to resurrect my old time hobby which is reading. Was kind of an avid reader when I was in school.. Not just the Malay novel but an English one too.. I guess that's where all my understanding of things came about.
Just bought myself quite a lot of book. Two of my favorite book are To Kill A Mocking Bird by Elizabeth Harper of which Kenny Chew bought it for me as a present. My 2nd favorite book is called Animal Farm by George Orwell of which I just brought last Thursday. Now I am looking forward for a new favorite book called The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Watched the movie in TV2 very very long time ago and love it to the max.. =) So here I come fulfilling my dream and getting my dream book.. =)

Inception

2010-07-27T23:48:00.002+08:00

I just came back from watching Inception starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Well the movie was fabulous. If I were to vote it I will give 101% fabulous. Interesting concept directed by Christopher Nolan. The movie was something special, just like how the Matrix trilogy when it 1st came out.
Anyway I am impressed by what type of movies Leonardo DiCaprio act. For the 1st few month this year, he acted in a movie by Martin Scorsese. The ending of the movie was quite unexpected. But nonetheless, it was quite a memorable one. One heck of acting for him. Kudos. And now came this movie by Christopher Nolan. I have to give him credit for his acting. Both the movie were quick dark movie of which is my favorite genre. Thriller but yet entertaining. Surprisingly, both movie which he acted were quite similar too. Shutter Island was about him hallucinating and this movie was about he planting dreams into other people's life. Not to mention both movies portrayed him as a father and a husband whose wife got mental problem. And seeing him portraying husband to mental problem wife is really a something.
Anyway besides Robert Downey Jr., Johny Depp and Will Smith I had to say I will vote him as one brilliant actor in the world. =) Way to go, Leo.. Well this is something I would like to comment on when watching Inception or Shutter Island. I had heard lotsa complain from people when they watched both movies. They find it very hard to understand the concept of both movie. Well for your information, I watch both the movies with my mind. I mean it is not a simple unthinkable movie which people watch for fun. For both the movies said above, please learn to understand the storyline. It would help you think clearer. =) Think deep and think unthinkable and that's how I learn to watch a movie. It would be easier if you watch with your mind as well as your heart when it comes to a movie like Inception and Shutter Island. Unlike some other action packed movie.
So for those of you who had not watch that movie, please watch it and watch it in cinema. It would be worth your money and time. Trust me. =)

I fail again

2010-07-15T23:30:00.003+08:00

I just received my CIMA exam 10 minutes ago via online. Guess what is the result? 12 marks over 100 marks. What the...?? I was expecting a better result over that stupid mark. I expect the result to be at least cross border 50% as passing marks. I have the confidence that I can do the question because I spotted one pass year question and a few question was kinda manageable by me one way or another. Guess what? I failed like no one's business. What kind of stupid fucking result is that? I mean 12 marks. I expect it to be at least better than this. Had been praying for God to help me in passing this paper. Instead I failed with such a mark.

I know I had not been doing well in my studies. Part of it is because I am taking up most of my time working putting less effort on studying. What to do. Work comes first. I want to become a better person but how I know this is what happen. I mean I am a teacher's son and this is how I embarrass my mom's name? I can't afford to do that. I can't accept that mark actually. It is way below my expectation. People always said don't expect much but do your best. What to do. My expectation is what make me confident. I guess I am still not confident enough seeing that I received such a result. Don't know what to say.

I actually wondered am I a stupid fool? I do not have much friends and all the sharing of mine are ignored. People took it for granted. How many people would actually listens to me when I speaks? It's like I am talking to myself all the time. That's why each time people ask me to lead the young believer, I would not want to do it. I mean how many people would come to me and listens to me. Even some leaders despise me. So what can I say? Most of the time I had to avoid others because a lot o them look down on me. People go out to spent and I can't cause I got nothing to spent. People got a lot of joke to tell, even a dirty one. But when I joke, people take it as boring conversation. In fact some of them take it as dirty joke even though it is not.

So I guess each time when I am having confident, I am trying to be a positive person. I do not know why people take it as me being a snobbish guy,a proud and arrogant guy to be exact. Am I wrong to have confident spirit and be a positive guy?

Anyway I guess that is all I can say bout myself. Hope by publishing this blog, more people can come to know me better as a person not as their being played person. Last but not least, I still love God even though I am facing such dilemma but why does it had to happen all the time? Can't it be that I received some blessing from Him once a while?

Christlike

2010-06-24T23:10:00.003+08:00

It has been pretty long since I last blog. But then I am learning to blog more in future. Two reason why I don't blog. 1st of all, I am lazy. 2nd, I have nothing much to blog about. For one thing la. I am living in a mundane life nowadays. Day in day out doing the same old thing. Want to do out of the box thingy, I am lazy and actually to be honest I am scared.
Anyway today I came across a thought that I shared to my colleague. Well as a Christian, I've come to learn this. It is better to serve than to be served. I don't mean ministry in church but rather in workplace. Well to cut the story short, I advice my colleagues bout working in company by helping others. You may say, I wanna do it my way and care for myself rather than others. Well you are right when you said that. No doubt bout that. In future that's how the world look at it and how our parent thought us, perhaps?
Well remember this story? The story of Cindirella and her step sisters? Well she was first princess in her family's eye before her mom passed away and her dad remarried. Well her stepmom have two sisters but they were jealous of her beauty. So what they do? They forced Cindirella to take care of the household and work like a slave. One day the prince of the country organised a ball to choose for himself a wife. Both the step sister went and left the poor Cindirella at home doing all the house chores. Her Fairy Godmother knows it and prepared Cindirella with a beautiful clothes for the ball. So she went to the ball but must be back before 12am. Well the ball was fabulous but when it was time for the dance, the clock strikes 12. She quickly rushed back home and left her glass slipper at the staircase.
You know the end of the story. The prince found the slipper and make all the ladies in the country wear the slipper. Finally it came to the step sisters' turn and they forced themselves into wearing the slipper but failed. Guess who managed to wear it? Cindirella is the girl. She marries the prince and lived happily ever after.
Okay the moral of the story. A lot of time we are all like the step sisters. We want things all for ourselves and care not for others but ourselves. And we always thought we are the rightful person for ourselves. But guess what? At the end, it was Cindirella who reap all the blessing. She got her step sisters to make her life bad. I believe she got discouraged and always think of why me? Well I am also like that. I mean like Cindirella. I mean why me? Do you know one thing? I believe that Cindirella's family is kinda rich family and they can afford all things. But guess what they do not have? They do not have the prince. But instead the poor Cindirella who was made to be slave in the family who is the next kin after her dad's father (if ever) passed away to all the family property and not the step sisters and their mom. Like Isaac who was the right kin to Abraham's property but were bullied by Ishmael. Guess what is the promise of God to Abraham? Abraham would be the Father of all nation and who received the blessings over that issue? Well it was Isaac and Ishmael. Likewise Cindirella received her blessing even though she was bullied, tortured and abused in life by her step mom and step sisters. She not only (I believe) own the family's property but she too managed to own the whole country when she married the prince.
What I am really want to share here is this. Even though we are in the negative side of life, being bullied in workplace, or always a negative person despite all others received good, even God seems not to be there for us, preserve on. Preserve until something happen. Help others who are in need especially in workplace. After all no one is perfect. Well I do encourage if you need to go ahead and complain all you want, I believe there is no wrong in doing so. In fact it helps us reduce bit by bit our burden and hurts. After all we are all just human. We are not Superman or God. But at the end of the day, let us be Christian and help those who are in need and not let them die alone. I am talking this to encourage myself to strive better in workplace when it comes to human contact especially in workplace. That's what Christian is all about. Be Christ like cause Jesus Christ die for us and give us a new life. That's our salvation. To help others who are in need.. =) Who are worst than us. May God's glory be with us..

Are we right when we migrate to another country when trouble comes?

2010-04-12T22:44:00.005+08:00

Well of late there had been a lot of people migrating out of Malaysia. A lot of my friends and my friends' friend had ventured out to look for a better future and greener grass to another country. I am kind of sad that these things happened. The shocking part of this is a lot of Christians had left the country. Let's us not mention non-believer here. I mean Christians are the chosen one that God calls to defend the weak and help the poor. Not the one God calls to go out and find a better place to survive for themselves. I remembered once when I was a young Christian. The moment I accepted Christ and say the sinner's prayer. I told myself that I am going to stand tall for God and defend the weak and poor here. Remember that word we once telling God we would do? Remember the time when we were asked whether would we stand up for God when disaster happen? Well guess what. That time is now although we were not yet being persecuted publicly because of our faith in the Lord.
Malaysia is facing a big problem here. The problem of there might not be any future for us and a problem where a lot of Christians is leaving Malaysia when they felt insecure bout the their future here but I guess we were told a lot of time that God is in control. Well can I ask you a question here. Do you believe that God is in control now? Well I would say YES. The moment I stand up and survive in Malaysia when disasters happen is the moment I believe God is in control. You know why? Because for one thing. Malaysia is my country and where I was born. And Malaysia is where God put me in. And therefore for me to stand up tall and say I will continue to stay in Malaysia although there is not much future left means God is in control. Unless and until God calls us to go to other place to evangelise, other reason why we choose to leave for other country rather than staying in Malaysia, for me that reason would be running away when troubles come.
You can say this. We can always pray for Malaysia in another country we are residing but guess what? You are not there to experience God's blessings over Malaysia. For me it would mean you are throwing God's blessing away. We can always pray for others but in reality would we really be the one who would be there to carry out God's blessing?
I actually wondered why there are a lot of Christian politicans fight for the country, the poor and the weak? I mean there is no point in doing so since a lot of them are leaving or had left the country. Please do not find me wrong when I say this. I am not against anybody leaving Malaysia but for me what is the point we all fight for the country and yet we left the country at the same time when there seems to be no hope anymore. Remember this. Our hope is in the Lord. Well that is a famous statement every Christians will say and it is written in the Bible as well. But are we saying it out just for the sake of popularity or are we really believe that our hope is in the Lord? For that I actually ponder. Everybody seems to like to quote that sentences but are we really applying it into our life?
Well seriously I am speechless bout a lot of Christians leaving Malaysia. I do not know whether this blog will impact you all to stay in Malaysia and fight for the country but I hope I am saying the right thing here. Have a blessed week ahead.

Word of Wisdom 1

2010-04-07T00:16:00.004+08:00

Word of Wisdom: Always read the Bible. You will be surprised that you can be wise and full of Godly knowledge even though you might not understand the meaning of the Bible verse you read earlier. I came to realise that God wants to guide us and help us to be wise daily. But at times when trouble came, we don't know what to do. The most practical day-to-day dealing with life can be traced from how deep we study the Bible and apply it into life. Well we may think that some of it maybe not be practical with our new life now, but remember that the Bible were written by the cleverest man on earth besides the normal human being.
The best part of reading is this. It was written according to the New Testament by two most significant person in this whole world namely John who follows the Jesus where ever He went and Paul who had changed from being a persecutor of Christians to be a defenders of Christian after he was stopped half way by Jesus Himself. So imagine the powerful Jesus that even devils would tremble when they meet Him. Somehow or rather it struck me the lesser I read the Bible the more normal I would be and the more worldly I would be. So in order to be wise and full of Godly knowledge we need to read more Bible. Action alone does not work if there is no Word of God being departed into our life. So read the Bible more and be Godly wisdom will impart into our life. Amen?

The Hottest Story Ever

2010-04-04T23:22:00.002+08:00

Today is one special day. Fine. I am blogging bout it this late but still today is a special day. Today is the anniversary of 2000 years ago Jesus Christ resurrected from death. It is a day of victory. Christ-faith victory. Therefore just want to wish every Christians in the world, Blessed Easter Celebration or in Malaysia, some churches call it, Blessed Resurrection Day. A day of victory which I believe even devil were dumb-folded when they instructed Him to be crucified.
I was watching a play performed by The Life Chapel PJ's music & arts ministry this morning called The Hottest Story Ever adapted from Russell Stedman's stage play. Well the story is actually typical Easter story except this story was told in the eye of the devils. Well I would say this is a brilliant play though. The story was about conversations of three devils about plotting to go against God. What they should do to destroy human being. They started with the plot of making Adam & Eve fall. Then there story goes to the time when Jesus was born. They plot the death of babies born during that period of time. That time Israel was under the ruling of King Herod.
Then they plotted the Judas' betrayal and alas, Jesus was crucified. But three days later Jesus came back to live and in the play they came to realised that God planned for Jesus' to be crucified and then raised up again three days later. Because of Jesus' resurrection they were afraid for a lot of things. They thought with Jesus killed, salvation won't come into human being's life. But they are wrong. So the play ended with their conversation plotting for next move to lead the human being to hell & to cover up the good news of Jesus' resurrection and His salvation for us all. The slogan for the play is "Someone doesn't want you to know what you really need to know." The play would still be on until 12th April 2010. It would be held in PJ Life Arts' Centre Jaya One, Petaling Jaya. Time: 3.30pm & 8.30pm on 11th April 2010 and 12th April 2010 3.30pm. I kinda like the play cause all the time our topic about Jesus resurrected but this time it is about what devil think and plotted so that we all will go to hell with them. Whether you are Christian or not Christian please take this opportunity to watch a Christian play. It would help you to understand what Christianity is all about and for Christians it would help us to know Him deeper. =)
Anyway just to drop by to wish my fellow brother and sister in Christ a Blessed Easter Day. May God continually bless and guide and even protect you in all that you do so that you can continuously guided by Him and love Him too. =)

Blessed Good Friday & Easter

2010-04-03T13:38:00.003+08:00

1st of all, I never knew that I've had two followers of my blog over a year of not blogging. Wow!! Not bad for a year plus of not free to blog. Anyway here I am back. Will spent as much time here to blog though I am not as free as last time to do so. But will think of a way though. Anyway yesterday was Good Friday. Well I do not know what you all think but for me it is a remembrance of 2000 years of anniversary of Jesus Christ went to hell to redeem back our salvation. A day where Christ not only brutally murdered but He did it for our sake. For those of who you happens to drop by at this blog, please take a moment to think this incident where someone you do not know died 2000 years ago to take away our sin.
You might say, "Hey what sin do I have? I don't steal, kill or destroy" but hey you cheat, bluff, lied, spreading rumours, smoke, sleeping around, lust, proud, greed, hate, envy, love to fight with others etc etc.. All the small small sin. You might say, "Everybody does it what?" Well you are right. Everybody does it. That's why all fall sin in the glory of God. That's why we all sinned. If you say you don't do what is mentioned above, you are lying. You are lying to me, to your family, friends, relatives and the main thing is you lied to God. Which means you are perfect and if you are perfect you can just claim yourself to be God. Otherwise you are just a normal human being.
As for Jesus Himself, He is fully God and half man. He became man to show us the way to salvation. Otherwise would He even care for us? He come down from Heaven to show us the way. Not only that He came down to lead us to Heaven, to bring us back to where we belong. Guess where we belong? Heaven. But before that He want us to confess that we are a sinner, sinner saved by grace. Not by humanly grace or a girl by the name of Grace but by Godly grace which is God Himself. If man can forgive another man for what he or she had done, what more God Himself? I mean since He is the one who created us.
So yesterday was the day 2000 years ago Jesus went down to hell to redeem us from hell. A day of victory and a day of success. For your information, if what is written in Bible about Jesus are fake and a fiction, how come a lot of people believe in the Bible and get saved had lived their life joyfully? Surely something big is at work. So therefore what is written in the Bible is the truth. Read it and be blessed. So come, let us ponder of what Jesus had did and what He had it is written in the Bible for generation to come to know and understand. Ponder what He had it and believe that He did it for us all. He died on the cross to redeem us back our salvation and make us no more slave but friend. Because of His death, we can come to God freely and to talk to Him personally. Because He died, we can go to Heaven after we died. There is still life until death.
But for now let us ponder of what He had done for us on earth so that we continue to seek Him, we can continue to live in Him.
God bless and Blessed Good Friday & Easter.. =)

CNY celebration

2010-02-18T21:28:00.003+08:00

Just came back from Ipoh yesterday. Started my work today. Well time flies very fast though. The other day I was wishing for CNY to come soon and well now it has come and ending soon. I had no idea what I had done for the past four days of CNY (excluding today, of course) but I find it hard to believe that CNY celebration has just passed by my life. The only thing I've remember was that I've had diarrhea since 1st day of CNY which I still do not know what caused it and now am recovering from it. I ate lesser this CNY compared to last year. More choosy over food. Well for one thing, I managed to treat my family and relatives lo sang dinner which I had never done before. Anyway thank God that I managed to treat my family and relatives a good meal of lo sang and dinner on the 3rd day of CNY.
But the bad news for this time of celebration is I did not managed to visit my fellow colleagues in Kampar like I used to every year since two years ago. Don't know why but most of them were not free during that time. But nevertheless, hoping for the best of this year to come and still waiting to be transferred to Kampar. Anyway before I log off, wishing everybody again a blessed Happy Tiger Chinese New Year. May all our wishes and dreams came true in this year of tiger. May more good things flow in our life.. =)

Jeffrey's wedding

2010-02-06T23:55:00.001+08:00

I've had a sleepless night today. For one thing today was my firs time being a Heng Tai or a brother in English for my friend Jeffrey Ng's marriage. I was told that I would have to do a lot of nasty things for him. Well perhaps I was wrong. The nasty thing seems to be kinda nice and peaceful though. =) I was told to eat cili padi, bitter gourd and even dance a cha cha dance.. But everything turned up to become peaceful nice stunt. Phew.. Thank God.

Anyway it was quite simple wedding ceremony with church wedding held in Grace Assembly and dinners are held today and tomorrow as different group of people from bride and bridegroom attending different days. Me and the SIBs and the groom side would be attending the tomorrow's dinner while the bride side today. Well everything turns up pretty well and I had sleepless night cause need to wake up early to pick up the bride. Thank God now I can sleep soundly cause the dinner is tomorrow night.. =)

Time to spend

2010-01-30T01:54:00.000+08:00

Two more days my bonus would be deposited into my bank account. Well a lot of things I want to do with the money. First of all I guess I want to get myself a good jogging shoe. I have a strong intention of losing some extra weight. That is part of my 2010 New Year resolution. I guess nothing else is more important than losing some extra baggage in life. =)

As for the remaining amount of bonus, I wish to get a digital camera. I had been wanting a digital camera very badly already. I guess its no enough having 2 Megapixel Sony Ericson camera phone by side myside without having a digital camera.. Am looking forward to get one.. Any recommendation? =)

2010 Bonus

2010-01-28T21:14:00.001+08:00

Today is a great day for me. My company just announced our year 2010 bonus. We actually got 2 month bonus and this bonus will be ready banked into our bank account on 31st January 2010. For record purposes, we never had any bonuses delivered to us this fast. Usually it would be two to three days before Chinese New Year but this exact 2 weeks before Chinese New Year. Just want to thank God for this bonus. Without Him I would have never survived in this company and thus no bonus. So thank God for His grace and mercy. =)

Chinese New Year mood.. =)

2010-01-25T21:23:00.002+08:00

Chinese New Year is coming soon. Its within three weeks time from now. This year's Chinese New Year would not be as much fun as it would be like last year cause I am working on the fifth day of Chinese New Year which is 18th February 2010, a Thursday. Well I do not have any extra leave as most of my leave had been used up and my last remaining to cover up for my Thursday and Friday had been used as annual leave for my sick leave last Monday since I came late to see the doctor and the doctor are not willing to give me any MC leave. So now fifth day of CNY became my working day. How sad.. =(
Anyway would plan to go visiting again this coming Chinese New Year. Most likely third day of Chinese New Year to Kampar and Sungai Siput, Samy Velo's formal teritory. Hopefully I will get more angpaus this time than ever. After all the petrol are not cheap. So need to use the angpau money for petrol. =)
Oh dear, since its three week times from now, I need to sent all my Chinese New Year cards then. Hopefully it would reach everybody on time. =) And hopefully the bonus would be 2 months again.. According to rumour, it would be but then again.... Have faith and your bonus shall be 2 months or more.. Yay.. =)

J.R.R.Tolkien books

2010-01-24T20:01:00.001+08:00

I am so happy this weekend.. The reason was because I just brought a book entitled The Children of Hurin written by J.R.R.Tolkien for RM8. The actual price of the book is bout RM30++ but I brought it for just RM8. It is one of my collections of J.R.R.Tolkien books. The other Tolkien books that I've had was The Two Tower and The Hobbit. Now planning to collect his book as part of my collection. Guess what? The book is quite new and was as though it was never read by the seller before. Not bad eh for a second hand book? Guess I am blessed.. =) Now looking for other books by Tolkien such as The Fellowship of The Ring and The Return of the King and his other tales.. Hope to be able to find it though. =)

2010 New Year resolution

2010-01-21T22:09:00.003+08:00

Wow!! It has been half a year since I last blogged. Well now we are already in the year 2010. To be precise three weeks after New Year and three weeks more to go before Chinese New Year. Last year was a busy year for me. Early this year has been a busy year for me too. But I guess this year I would try to blog more and updated myself more. After all I am no longer young anymore. I am learning to frame my life up using blog to remind myself who I was before to who I am now, which hopefully there would be a good change in life.
Last year had been a year stressful and sad life for me, I've lost a cousin brother in October 2009. Then my so-called childhood singer, Michael Jackson died too. Not to forget David Caraddine of whom I had watched him acted in Kung Fu, The Legend Continue in the 90's had also died early last year. Well there are other celebrity and people whom I knew died. But none of them are this clear to me than those I mentioned just now. Then a lot of post election March 2008 incident had happened. Some were good and some were bad. The bad ones affect the whole Malaysia and the good ones give cheers to the rakyat.
Well I won't mention how I view it but beginning of this month is a bad beginning for the year of 2010. The religion clash. Well won't mention much of it but then I see it as a good point of view. The church gets what I pressumed they had prayed for. A new church building. Praise God for it. =) Hopefully this year would be a good year though since it is a year of Tiger though I do not believe in those Chinese zodiac. I believe Malaysia needs a good start of the year 2010 and may it ends with double portion of blessings, a good ending of the year of 2010. Despite all the rumours of chaos happening around the world, Malaysia had been extremely blessed throughout its independence 51 1/2 years ago. So let us not make Malaysia a more miserable life after the economic downturn chaos. I guess what's more important is let us make Malaysia a more blessed place than ever. I love Malaysia and I do believe in 1 Malaysia. That is if we are as a Malaysian can stand firm on it. Otherwise we are no different than other country. Let's make Malaysia a different place than the rest of the world. Amen.. =)

This year is a year of celebrity death?

2009-06-29T13:18:00.001+08:00

Was I the one who felt the difference or was it really happening? This year is a year of celebrity's death. In the sense that there are so many celebrity died this year. 1st as far as I know David Carradine, the main actor of Kung Fu: The Legend Continue and the villiant in Kill Bill 1 & 2. Then Michael Jackson and then Farah Fawcett.. And in today's email latest entertainment news there is this woman by the name of Gale Storm, who was the big actress of My Little Margie and The Gale Storm show died at the age of 87 and this actor by the name of Billy Mays the burly, bearded television pitchman whose boisterous hawking of products such as Orange Glo and OxiClean made him a pop-culture icon died today at the age of 50. Exactly the same age as Michael Jackson.
So imagine that. It is the death year of celebrity. So queer..

Childhood memory

2009-06-26T23:00:00.000+08:00

Today I received THE shocking and sad news, that Michael Jackson had died. It was during my journey to work that I overheard from the radio that MJ had died.
Well I might not be his hardcore fans but deep down inside me, there is a sudden missing link of my life. To be honest I am not gay. I am straight and I do not love him like the girls does. But then I was born in his era of glory where I was born listening to his songs most of the time. I was born watching him doing his things. I mean things like moonwalk, his dancing etc etc.
Seriously when I was younger I had a wish of becoming famous like him. I mean being admired by the girls, hear their screaming, watching them worshiping me and being famous. Hey I was a little boy. When a person was that young especially when you were in primary school you would do what others does and I felt good if I were to be able to be like him.
Anyway I guess there goes this part of my childhood memory. Childhood memory of listening to him singing and dancing. I guess I shall be missing him singing and dancing. And hear his music again. I would have to say that he is the best entertainer in the whole world. No one can beats him to it. Of course this does not include what Jesus had done and performed in our life. But humanly saying, MJ is the best that I could say. People might say, Elvis Presley and The Beatles are as good as MJ but none can beat MJ in my eye cause I was not born during their glorious time. MJ has been a whole year's household name in this century. So for me he is the best.
So rest in peace, Michael.. =) May your songs continue to inspire us. We shall never forget you.

Testimony

2009-03-30T22:29:00.003+08:00

As I promised to the Lord, here's my testimony. Last Thursday I lost a cheque while sending it up for signature. So while doing all my routine dispatching, I misplaced it somewhere. Eventually it was misplaced while I went to human resource department. Was very worried bout it and I do prayed for the cheque to return while blaming it on myself for it. In fact I've told God that if He were to make the cheque appear I would tell the world bout this testimony. Throughout the whole day I cannot really work well. I went to whole departments from Registrar office to Human Resource office to all other department I went to before I realised the cheque was missing where I went the morning and they told me the cheque was nowhere to be found and they never seen the cheque. I guess I was dreaming that day. Not to say the cheque is important or what but then it would be troublesome for me if the cheque were to really be lost. At the end of the day, I give up and leave it to God.
Came the next day, my colleague from human resource sw the cheque ( I guess) and she passes the cheque to my executive before passing it back to me. I was expecting her (the executive) to at least scold me but she just told me to take it and went off. I was like super shocked cause normally she would make some noise or at least a nag before she go back to her work. But that day she just passed it to me asked me whether I went Human Resource Department and when I admit it she just walk away. I was like amazed by her reaction that day. It was last Friday. Anyway thank God for His provision and for His care that I was treated well that day. No scolding or nagging happened. So this is my testimony to share to the world. When you pray something good happen, Amen?? =)

Change

2009-02-10T21:22:00.002+08:00

I guess I had been very busy lately.. Had not been updating my blog nowadays.. I guess there is nothing much to blog about recently.. Not to say I do not want to.. Anyway I guess this year would be a busy year for me.. I am taking this year seriously since this year is my 30th year. So don't wanna waste my 30th year of living doing nothing and still the same.. I guess I am making myself this year a year of different. Perhaps to a lot of people I am still the same.. But one thing I am going to do this year would be making myself busy. Busy with work, studies and life. 30 years of living is not that long year. Neither is it short year. So by saying this, I guess I am going to do something bout it. =) So all the best to me.. And stay happening people..

Bonus Time

2009-01-14T18:13:00.000+08:00

Today I am not well.. I do not know why but since yesterday I had been going to toilet for like more than 5 times.. Normally I do not have such a problem at all. Today worst.. Anyway I do hope that my boss won't find out about it at all. Otherwise it would be embarassing.. =( Anyway all well turns well.. Hope to hear "THE" good news of getting bonus this year. The rumour is all out already. Whether it would be 2 months or 3 months or even 4 months, only God knows.. So hope for the best.. Wishing for 4 months bonus.. =)

Boring

2009-01-07T20:13:00.002+08:00

Today is another hectic day for me. Went to work feeling sleepy, came back even worst. Fall asleep in the bus until the bus conductor shout at me to wake me up. How embarrassing is that? Anyway exam result is coming soon and time is too short for me to waste more time online.. I guess I need to spent more time studying than doing other things. =( But am very tired.. God, where has all my time spent on enjoying life had gone? Work.. work.. work..
If people were to tell us it's good to work and earn money, do not believe them. Perhaps it would be fun for now but after a while (perhaps a year or two) it would be bored and dull. Trust me.. You think why Adam got his whole time enjoying life as God had wanted him to be and he screwed it up by eating the forbidden food? Tsk.. Tsk.. Do not know what to say anymore la.. =(

The internet server is back

2009-01-06T21:02:00.001+08:00

Thank God the net is finally back.. I mean the server was down a couple of week ago and now back in business... I can access my website easily. In fact I am so happy that everything is moving fine nowadays. =) Thanks God, thank God... =)

3rd day of the year - lousy Saturday..

2009-01-03T15:36:00.000+08:00

Today is a lousy day. I was locked out of my room. I am supposed to rush to work today. I am on duty today. But then I was locked out of my room because my keys and wallet was kept in my working pant which was nicely hanging there inside my room and the key was not in my casual pant. Became quite panic and calls people for help. All of my China housemate were nicely sleeping in their comfort room, ignoring my calls for help. Even the landlord's friend who are also from China (landlord himself wen back to China already) were reluctant to actually get me the room key.
At the end it was only my dear 5th uncle who actually came to my rescue. We took quite a while to actually fix the room door. At the end, I make him lost his previous half a day worth of spending with family to fix my door room. I am sorry uncle for all the trouble I've done. So hope this blog would make your time spending with me worthwhile. God bless you, uncle.. =) Of course not to forget you too, Boon Hoe..
Reached office at 1.15pm. Ms Kim was quite unhappy about it as she couldn't get the rest she needed. So Ms Kim, I am sorry too for what has happened. So I hope you would forgive me although I know you would not be here to read my blog. God bless you, Ms Kim. =)

First time of the year

2009-01-02T18:34:00.000+08:00

Today is 2nd day of a New Year. First day experiencing jam for the year. I took the bus to work from SS2 and I had to faced a terrible jam until Seksyen 17. And I guess it was because everybody had started work. I mean most of them. That's why it is jam. Not good, not good..
Reached office later than usual. Nearly late cause I was 2 minutes away from the working hour. Was shocked to know that my boss and colleagues had came back from holiday. I always thought that everybody would come back to work only on Monday.
Lunch time I ate Spaghetti Bolognise. This is the first time I ate that for this year. Well not that expensive though in the canteen. Costs me RM5.80 only together with a glass of cold chinese tea.
Tomorrow is another special day of the year. My first day of work on weekend. Tomorrow I would have to work as well. Tomorrow and Sunday. It's time to earn some extra cash as it is my over time work and I wouild get over time pay. Not bad though. But then tomorrow would be my first time la.
Lastly but not least, today is my first day working of the year 2009. Nothing much to talk about except that it is another boring life. Nothing much to bragged about. But I do have lotsa things to complain about. But then not good to complain it here. Perhaps I would complain whenever I am free la. =)

Birthday Eve..

2008-12-26T19:20:00.001+08:00

Just came back to Ipoh today. It took me bout 5 hours to reach home. The bus arrived late from Shah Alam today. It seems that the bus company, Perak Roadways was out of staff. I guess there were too many staff who went on-leave today.
But anyway thank God I am able to reach home early. Managed to pass around the Christmas presents to my parent. And I can see how cheerful their faces were, especially my mom.. =) Good to see them so cheerful.. Anyway tomorrow is 'the' special day. Not really into celebrating it though. Don't know why.. Perhaps my sickness is still there.. Anyway Happy Birthday to me, Lik Ee.. At least I am glad that I wishes myself first for now.. =) hahahaha....
And want to thank everybody who had bought me the lovely MP3, although I am still wondering how to use at this moment.. =) Anyway whatever la.. At least I can get some songs download already.. hahaha....

Sick Christmas

2008-12-23T18:14:00.000+08:00

Wow!! It was nearly a month since my blog was last updated. Well can't do much though cause my computer is still under repair. What to do. The computer has been hibernating in my brother friend's house for the past three months due to because his friend is kinda busy with his work. His friend is so-called a computer specialist but the thing is his friend do not have the exact software to upload my computer. So now the thing is I might need to change a new hard disk for that matter. Anyway what has been done has been done. I hope the computer would return to me by Chinese New Year next year. At this moment, I guess I would had to use the office's computer to blog though. =(
Anyway for the past few days (I guess started on Sunday) I've had caught a cold. Don't know how come suddenly I faced such challenge when it is quite near to Christmas and my *ahem* *ahem*. Now I had to keep up with it la. Catching a cold is not something small though. Of course it is not that serious compared to having a fever but then catching a cold is quite irritating and troublemsome for me at this moment. Think about it as when people are going for Christmas Carol singing all the way round happily, people like me have to endure the hardship of wanting to avoid sneezing. A lot of time it is embarrasing because all the Christmas Carollers had to avoid me from making them infected as well. I mean how sad can that be?
Anyway I am thinking of taking medical leave tomorrow. Don't know whether should I do that or not? Don't know la. Wait until tomorrow only decide. Anyway before I end, (I am learning to blog with less words and would try to blog more in future) Blessed Christmas to all who are reading this blog and may God bless you all.. =)

Appointment with dentist

2008-11-28T19:06:00.004+08:00

Just came back from meeting with dentist. Went there for my dental check up. Had not been there for the past 17 years already. Was kinda paranoid and with expectation that my tooth would be drilled with holes and that I would be injected. At the end of the day, I felt so childish thinking like that. Perhaps watched too much tv already. Anyway the doctor was quite talkative to me. Telling me what should be done and what I should not do. Like my mom. Anyway I wasn't focusing on him because I was wondering what kind of dental treatment would I get for scaling. I was asking the doctor to scale my tooth. A little bit panic though. He just tell me to relax and then I saw water fountain coming out from my mouth. I was like, "Oh my God, what is going to happen to me?" But thank God my tooth are still in one piece though. So look nice although the doctor pointed the bad ones to me. The best part was I feel good though. Anyway I dare not consult the doctor bout my tooth more cause I scare he would charged me more. I was told earlier by the nurse that a consultation fees would be RM15. A scaling would be RM60. Thank God I only paid RM60 for the whole process. But according to my company's policy a maximum of RM100 would be reimbursed if I went for dental checkup. So the nurse sold me two tooth brush and two tooth paste. Not bad for a RM100 eh?
Anyway had not been updating my blog for quite some time now. Nothing much to talk bout except that this month I was busy with my exam. Had a week break for exam and study break. As for work life, I am having normal routine life. Nothing much to blog about.
But Christmas month would be one busy month. I am going to Singapore and Johor Bharu for a week for my end year break. I would be going there on 6th December and return to Petaling Jaya by 14th December. Hope to blog more there. Would include some photos though if I got the time. =) December would be a month where I would spent most of my time traveling. Not bad eh since I love to travel. Anyway tomorrow is the last day of November. There goes November and here comes December. =) Happy December month.. =)

Board Game

2008-11-07T21:08:00.003+08:00

Of late, I am a frequent visitor to this hardware shop in The Atria called "I don't know what the shop called" next to Giant Supermarket. Anyway was very interested at something which was sold there. You maybe find it very dumbfounded but then I am interested in the board game sold there. I noticed different edition of monopolies were sold there. ie. The Simpsons, Star Wars, Shrek and even Po The Kungfu Panda. One thing in life that I realised I love a lot is playing board games. I mean I am interested in owning them though. It gave me the satisfaction of playing such a game.
You may think that, "hey that's so childish of you." But then again who are not? You maybe mature in a lot of way but then you can be immature in another part of your life too. But I guess playing board games does gave us the inspiration of achieving dreams. In fact, I found out that playing board game although may be about wanting to win or lose but then it helps us to build our dreams in the game. I mean come to think of it. Monopoly is although may sounds like a selfish game as one wants to control and monopolies a certain part of territory but then it also help us to learn how to build our empire, thus giving us a learning process where we can learn how a property is formed and attract us to have interested in wanting to invest in property rather than wasting our cash elsewhere unnecessary.
Anyway my favorite board game would always be Risk, followed by Monopoly and Chess. I had been constantly buying old time board and card game like Chess set, donkey, maid etc etc.. Even I managed to bought color stick. Remember the color pick up stick? The color sticks is hold up together before it is released and we need to pick the stick up without moving the remaining stick. Different colors different points. The stick is still with me though, I do wish to play it but too bad no one seems to be interested. Anyway I am also interested in collecting games like snake and ladder, ludo if they are still available for sale in current market. Those were the time I enjoyed myself playing all those games. Now because of no player, the games were left aside.
As for my chess knowledge, it has been so rusty that whenever I played it it is easy to determine my step. When I was young, I was good in checkers. In fact I had beaten my school teacher quite a few time until they play cheat. In fact I still remembered Cikgu Azham, my class teacher for two years became a discipline teacher after that and forbade us from playing the game during school time. And I beat him in the game before for ample of time before.
Anyway those were the good memories that I have had long long time ago. Playing all those games. In fact, I used to think that once I started working, my first pay would be used to buy The Risk board game. But too bad until now it has not been fulfilled. Anyway all those game were the best game ever played. Good memory to be remembered. =)

The value of a complainer

2008-11-05T19:15:00.004+08:00

I was chatting with a friend recently. And I mentioned something worthwhile for me and her to reflect on. How can we know a certain people deeply? I mean knowing them not just the physical part but then included the mental and emotional part. I guess one way or another it can be shown through the way we talk. I mean human beings do talk. In fact they are a lot more talkative that they can actually polluted the world with sound pollution. I was watching this movie called 'The Man" last night in Xi Ying's house while Xi Ying, Yoke Kheng and Karen Ng was having Bible studies together. I know I am not there to listen to their studying but then I am taking the time to actually watched a movie offered by Xi Ying's brother. Anyway the movie was acted by Eugene Levy and Samuel l Jackson. I guess a lot of us remembered him as the father of Jason Biggs, the lead actor of American Pie and the school inspector in New York Minutes. In this movie he acted someone who was supposed to attend a conference but ended in wild chase between the police and the bad guys.
I was not sure what his job are in that movie but I guess he is a school teacher in that movie since he was supposed to attend a conference and gives a speech. One of his greatest gift in that movie is his way of talking. For one thing, he is super talkative. He can talk non-stop and everyone would get irritated with him. Anyway back to what I am trying to say. Well a lot of time we as a human being, loves to talk. In fact talking is part and parcel of our life as a human being. Well we talk everywhere and anytime. In fact we communicate with God through prayer and prayer is part and parcel of talking.
I came to realise that in order for some of us who don't really show our true self, including myself, talking and complaning is part and parcel of knowing us. I do complain a lot in life. In fact I complain all the time and everywhere. Otherwise I would not be this long-winded and wrote this long blog just to state one short sentences. If a person complains and complains please remember this. One of the way for us who don't complain to know is that complainers show their true colour easily. It shows how emotional, how bad and how good he or she was, it shows how certain things are being done in their life. In fact it shows to the world who they are actually. I mean a complainer may complain but a complainer's true colour through complaining. So please do not shun complainers away. Israelites are complainers and at the end God gave them manna. God does miracle by breaking the rock and water flowing out. God answers complainers' prayer. Because a complainers are the one determine that they do not want to give up on not getting the blessing. That's why they complain and complain. Even I believe that through the parables of widow in Luke 18:1-8

The Parable of the Persistent Widow

1 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2 He said: "In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.'

4 "For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually come and attack me!' "

6 And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"

Anyway I do not mean to say we should complain but then I believe that part and parcel is filled with complains. So therefore whenever a person complains and that person you do not know well, please listens to his or her complains cause you would be surprised to find some knowledge and wisdom through complains. Likewise the widow who persistent of her matter. You may say its different but then when a plea was kept sent to you, it is considered a persistent and a persistent becames complain and through all these complaint a person's real character can be seen and shown. How he dealt with his life and the life surrounds him and it can become a valuable knowledge and wisdom to people around the complainer. So don't shun these type of people away but understands them and you shall be blessed. =)

Thank God

2008-11-04T17:52:00.000+08:00

Today my boss complimented me. He felt that I am improving quite a lot from the day I was nearly penalised. Anyway thank God for that. May I continue to perform well in days to come, months to come and even years to come.. =)

Life starts at....

2008-10-31T18:14:00.000+08:00

Today is the last day of October, which is also Halloween day. The month of October had gone, which means the month of November is coming. Well exam is coming too. 19th November. Sad case..
Anyway this month (as in Ocotber'08) surprising is a month of death. Two colleague of mine had passed away within this month. 1st colleague(so-called colleague) was my office's canteen operator and few days ago another colleague who work as an executive in professional course line has just passed away. The reason for his passing was that he got a stroke and die of heart attack if not mistaken. Well for one thing he is just in his early 50s. Not that young and neither that old too and he died early. I used to think that life starts at 40 when your career advanced and you got a family. But I guess life starts now, whether you are in your teens, youth, young adult, family man or woman and even senior citizen. I do not agrees that life starts at 40 an stated by the person of the past. (That is how the sentence like life starts at 40 came about) I guess life starts as you live now. Do not always think that I need to get this or that to start a life. For example, we need to earn big before our life starts or when our life is steady or even when we are living in glorious time. But I guess life starts when you started to learn to gain experience. Cause if life started after you had gained the experience, what is the point of having life then? I mean since we had already achieve it. For me, I am still living in a life where I am still in dreaming land. Still not able to achieve anything but then what the heck. I am still having life. At least I am dreaming. But then I need to buck myself up to actually grab that dream which I am dreaming of. I am still in the process of achieving life. And that is when my life starts.
So I guess I am starting step by step of my life by writing this blog. Hope that this life of mine written in this blog would make me starts my step of achieving dreams. =) Anyway just want to wish Mr Sothi's family member a condolence for his demise. May God bless their family where ever they are and whatever they do. =)

Happy Deepavali

2008-10-24T13:18:00.000+08:00

Yay!! Tonight I am going back to Ipoh to sleep, study, relax, spent time with family, watch movies etc etc.. =) Not to forget to celebrate Deepavali. I nearly forgot that I am supposed to go back to Ipoh tonight cause I thought Deepavali is another week time. Thank God I was reminded when I start looking at the calender and colleagues reminded me. Too busy with works. The bad news is I am getting my pay today because of this festive season. Sucks. Got my salary pay spent it fast too. What the heck? Anyway Happy Deepavali and Happy Holiday.. =)

Relieved at the end

2008-10-18T17:41:00.004+08:00

Yay!! My bandage has been removed officially today. Well for the couple of days ago, I was living in a bandaged life. For one thing, it's hard for me to take a bath because I need to make sure my right hand's middle finger would not touch water. Any drip of water were also prohibited. But thank God now everything is turning alright. The second thing I want to thank God for is that my application to get into Damansara Specialist Hospital for a medical check-up for my hair loss in dermalogical department has been a success. I managed to get the doctor's approval to recommend me to go that private hospital for a medical check-up and now it's up to the human resource department to actually approve me to the recommended hospital. Well as far as I know it can be easily and speedily done since it is either Ching Chin or Sujatha is in charge. =) I mean I want to lose hair and not bald at this young age. So in that sense I want to prevent the hair to drop more and to allow my hair to grow more. Otherwise I would become a bald man at a very young age. How sad can that be.
Anyway good news I am in the sense set free and more relax now. I want to thank God that despite all the anger and all the havoc I had caused, God is still in control. By the way, tonight is a night to remember because it is MCA election day. So wishy wishing and hopefully Chua Jui Meng would won the presidential post. =) Datuk Chua JM I support you although I am not officially a MCA member but I support you as a Chinese race in Malaysia. =)

Life hasn't been easier after all...

2008-10-17T17:41:00.000+08:00

Metro bus ticket has increased by another RM0.10 lately. Sucks man.. Yesterday went for the medical check-up for my finger. Came back I always pay RM1.50 per trip. Suddenly the bus conductor told me that I need to pay an additional of RM0.10 per trip. I thought that the additional RM0.10 increased was because to avoid hassle, the bus lump up the whole sum from RM0.90 to RM1 to ease the unwanted hassle of getting the enough change if a passenger boarding the bus pays for a short distance trip with large amount of money. And because of that, I was shocked that the conductor charge me with an extra RM0.10. Perhaps RM0.10 is not a big deal. But then going from a different places to another different place daily can cost a bomb.
Sad to say, but life has not been much changed since the oil price dropped again. I mean I am not affected at all in terms of petrol usage but in terms of food and other daily consumption, I guess I does felt the affect though I do not own a car. I can't blame the government though cause for one thing they had so-called helped the country by reducing the price of oil. Not the thing is there are some certain quarters whom wanted to earn some extra lousy illegal profit by not wanting to drop the price of goods for their own sake. Don't know lah. I felt that this 2nd half a year was a time where I spent more for food and daily consumption compared to 1st half a year.
To say it this way, I hope things would turn well. And seriously I am amazed by the Pakatan people wanting to co-operate with the government in terms of rulling. I am puzzled with the sudden change of wind that last week they were talking about taking over the government but this week is otherwise. I do hope that both parties would indeed co-operate with each other for the sake of the country and not just a mere talking and with intention behind. So I guess life would be much better soon or worst?? I wouldn't know but God knows what will happen in future. Anyway anyhow may all turns up well.. For God's glory.. =)

Canon goes green...

2008-10-16T20:44:00.002+08:00

Please support this movement.. I am planning to join this movement coming Saturday.. Anybody wants to join?? =)

Rest in peace, Mr Liew

2008-10-16T20:06:00.002+08:00

Of late, I had been living in a very sadistic life. 1st of all, my finger was infected when I was done with fever last Friday. No big deal really. Just that my finger is filled with pore (nanah) waiting to be exploded. I blogged bout it yesterday. Anyway went to clinic since Tuesday. Ever since then till now, I had been in and out of my panel clinic to get the pore reduced or cured. The doctor put some antiseptic (it is a correct spelling??) on my finger and ever since my right hand middle finger had been wrapped with bandages. Ohh.. How uncomfortable it is for me. =( I mean I can't really took my bath cause I can't make my right hand middle finger wet. How pathetic can that be?
Anyway on the same day, one of my colleague want to match make me with a canteen operator who is a widow and possibly of having one child. According to him, she is about 33 years of age. I was like, "Oh my goodness, if you want to match make me, fine. But not 4 to 5 years older and she is a widow some more. What?!? Am I that desperate?" Anyway he wanted to bring me to that canteen for lunch but each time lunch time came, I ran away and hide from him.
And today, something terrible happened. The canteen operator had just passed away this morning. I was speechless. I was always be the one who would pass him the cheque for payment if ever my company ordered any meal or refreshment from him. He was just iun his late 40's. I was told that he was having denggi fever. Not very sure bout that. Anyway one of the senior colleagues told me, "Life is so short and so fragile. We should learn to appreciate it." I do agree with him though. I am already in my late 20's now and I find it my life runs pretty fast. Faster than I could ever imagine. Was 28 years old last year and with just a blink of my eye, I am fast approaching 29 years old already in two more months time. Until now, I guess this question has been appearing in my mind for a zillion times already. What had I done for myself, for God, for my family, for friends and for everything and everybody?? I could not find the answer for it though. I do not think that I had achieved much. In fact I do not think I had achieved anything yet. My life is still filled with ups and downs. So, really... I do not think I am able to answer anything if there are people who would there asking me such questions.
Anyway life is short and fragile. So please appreciate it. =) Well just want to say condolence to the family of Mr Liew Voon Loong. That's the canteen operator's name. May God bless his family at this time of loss. Indeed Mr Liew's loss is a loss to my company. So Mr Liew, rest in peace.

I am back...

2008-10-15T17:58:00.000+08:00

It has been a month since my computer hospitalised. Until now, it is still lying somewhere out there with my brother's friend. Sad case la. That computer is giving me a lot of headache. But then thank God I got one.. =)
Anyway life has been a bit dull. I got my finger infected last week when I was having fever. The 'nanah' in my finger grew bigger and bigger and last night I went to panel clinic to get rid of it. I never been injected before to ease my pain but last night was my time I got those dose of injections. The doctor did it halfway before he told me to come back again today. I never knew that the infection is badly affecting me. Actually to be honest, it was my fault. I had a bad habit of wanting to trim my nail to become as short as possible. Sometimes I even use my own finger to try to pull off the roots so that the nail will grow slower than the usual growth. A lot of time it will ended bleeding and eventually pain for a little while before it recovered again.
I guess this time it had gone too far. Coincidentally, I was down with fever. Therefore according to the doctor, my finger nail 'bernanah' because of that. What's worst was my middle right hand finger nail was the one grew that disease. Imagine that how can i write or type well if my middle finger was in pain. So at the end last night the doctor gave me a packet of painkiller to ease my pain. At first after I seen the doctor I forgotten that the doctor gave me painkillers. I thought 'we ought to get painkillers from pharmacy and not elsewhere.' So I do not really bother and continue on eating dinner with about half an hour endured with my finger pain. I guess for one thing in life, I learnt a lesson. A lesson that as much as I hate to admit but it is a good lesson.
I guess a lot of time in life I had complaint and complaint (even now I still complain) that my life sucks and how I torture myself a lot. In fact I guess my life is doom to hell or something like that if nothing is to be done. But then I realised that because I had endured all pains in life before, I am able to cope well with my current life. I mean there are colleagues who had come to me and say, "You are one hell of survivor." I mean look at it this way, I always believe that I am no good. Well perhaps I am but then I realised this. I am no good to become good. When a person felt that he is not good, evetually he will being bullied by others. But then as people keep on bullying him, he learn to strive the hard way. The hard way as endurance. Eventually the people who bullies him will wear out and yet he still endures. Imagine that. I am not saying I can endure people well enough but I guess I am learning to appreciate others who had gone through the same way like me. If I were not be treated that way, I won't learn how to appreciate.
Anyway I had not been blogging for nearly a month and because of that I had became totally blank now. So I guess I won't be finishing what I want to say here. Got to go now and God bless.. =)

Tired Merdeka Weekend.

2008-09-03T21:13:00.003+08:00

Last Sunday was my last day staying in SIB mission house. I had been there since last year's July. Moved into the house from Mel's house cause I could not stand her and her dog, Lucas. Anyway I loved that place very much but then too bad what to do. The master room was vacant. So the owner do not want to lose any money. So we had to go because she got a new family tenant who wishes to rent the whole house for the next half a year. The requirement was that the whole house must be empty. Not a single furniture was to left there. So at the end after a mass search and mass cleaning this is what we threw away on Saturday night, the Merdeka Eve. How pathetic can that be? Not really have the chance to celebrate Merdeka though.. =(
So on Sunday, a few people who actually came to help me move house. Want to take this opportunity to thank them. First of all, Jeffrey. Jeffrey had helped me clean the house since Saturday itself. For the past two days since Merdeka Eve, he had not stop giving his helping hand to me to move my stuff to the new house. The next person I would like to thank is Kenny and Roy. Though they came a little bit later on Sunday, I am also so thankful that with Kenny's car, I am able to move all my small small stuffs to the new house, especially those sermon's note and my clothes. Although Roy and me are not that close, but hey.. he helped me pack and move stuffs. Thank you, Roy. Next person to thank for is Raymond. Raymond came twice to offer his help. At the end thank God he came. Although as I move all my stuff into new room, he accompanied me to get scolded by the owner. I somehow or rather promised the owner to get rid of all the furniture in the house but at the end I am not able to do so because that time they were still blur of which furniture belongs to who, SIB or the onwer. So at the end all the furniture was thrown away. That was what I was told.
Anyway all turned well although there are some whom I had asked them for help did not turn out. Some even rejected me. But whatever it is, may God bless everybody. Anyway the picture below shows how many stuffs have we thrown away. =)

A heap of garbage mountain.

The luxury of time

2008-09-02T22:54:00.004+08:00

I love this picture a lot. It gave me a trademark of who I am at the moment. I guess as much as people says money and health is wealth but I guess sleeping is also considered as wealth. In fact as it stated here the luxury of time. Well we may think sleeping is for the poor but I guess good rest gave us lotsa wealth. In fact enough rest gave us more energy to do other things like exercise and making money. What is more important than sleep? Tell me then...

Heroic act

2008-08-28T00:02:00.003+08:00

I just finished watching the movie called Flags Of Our Fathers directed by Clint Eastwood. Well it was not a Christian movie but rather it is a patriotic movie. A so-called what is the meaning of hero type of movie. I was not really aware what awaits me in the movie but I am touched by the movie itself.
Well it is a story of how a normal man or shall I say a soldier being called hero when the war ends. It talks bout this war between the American and Japanese located in Iwo Jima Island, Japan on 23rd February 1945. It was said that this war was the turning point for the Americans to go against war completely. If you want to know the story, go and watch the movie. I won't elaborate it at all but it was quite touching though. I am sure of it.
But few things I had learnt from the movie. First of all, the title "hero" are not manufactured but are earned. I came to this conclusion that a hero is someone who served others, who are friends to others, who helped their buddies and who care for them. Hero are not there to be served, who be there to lead and who be there neglect others for the sake of themselves. Anyone who called themselves hero but neglected their brothers and sisters, their fellow comrades, their fellow colleagues, their fellows family members, their God, their friends for the sake of the world or for the sake of themselves are no hero at all. They are just a bunch of cowards who self-proclaiming themselves as hero but making sure that whatever they acheived are being done.
There are sayings that a hero ought to be strong. Do you know that a hero can as well be weak? Why I say like that? How strong a person is, are determined by others, and not by himself. I mean a poor man can also become a hero to anotherr if he gave whatever he had to another poor person. That's a hero to me. But a rich man who gives a small portion of his wealth to a poor man, is that a heroic act? Well I guess not because a hero are usually those who humbled themselves up and not being boastful bout it while a rich man might give his small portion to another but he find ways to boast bout his richness. So if the rich man is considered as a hero, then the title "hero" is just another cheap title that everybody can have.
The title "hero" are supposed to be scarce because not everyone can become a hero. This is because a hero endures hardship, perhaps persecution before one can actually achieve this title. Why would I say that? Just like the movie Flag Of Our Fathers, the soldiers who faught for their country had to win the war before they are considered as a hero. In fact they need to endure pain, hardship and might even face their death there, during the war. If for some other reason, they do not completed their task as a soldier and ran back to their respective country, they will not be called hero. In fact, they would be most likely be called coward or even traitor.
Well as the movie continue on, the soldiers who came back after the war was over they did not dare to be recognised as heroes. Why, you may ask? Well like it or not, they had endured hardship and even faces death of their buddies, their comrades. And they all die for their country. Some of the soldiers, had actually giving up their lives for the safetiness of their fellow comrades so that the living soldiers can survived to tell out the story of how they had faught the battle. In fact back home of their respective country, the living soldiers are too ashamed to even share the story of how they had faught for the country. This is because during that time it was glory to actually serve the country and bring back victory. But in the end the living soldiers live in guilt.
Actually I guess we are all like that, like it or not. Well one thing is for certain. We are always ashamed of how to live like Jesus and how He had became our Hero through His sacrificial act and how His sacrificial act was not up to standard to us. A lot of time we thought we are the hero but we are actually not. But like it or not, God always give us chances to become a hero. He does it by showing how to be a real hero for His people. That as we accept Him as our Christ and Saviour, we are actually showing up His Heroic act. As He guide us, He is actually teaching us to be a hero for Him. I can say this loud loud, but deep down inside I am still ashamed of myself. But like it or not, God does not want me to be ashamed of Him and His act of love for us. What I believe He want is that we, as a child of God, He wants us to live up right for Him. That I believe is the righteousness way of being a hero. A hero after God's very own heart. That this hero not only serve mankind but he also seeks after God Himself. And I thank God no matter what happen, I am always there for Him. Be a godly hero and let Him lead us to be a righteous hero. God bless.. =)

PS: Go and watch the movie.. Quite a touching movie though..

Early Christmas Gift

2008-08-27T00:05:00.003+08:00

Christmas came early this year. I am starting to put in some Christmas carol songs that I love and this song is one of my favorite traditional Christmas Carol. Well the song is called One Small Child by David Meece. I first heard of this song when I was performing in Choir group for Christmas Cantata in KDU in the year of 1998. It was one mega performance and this song has ring into my mind ever since. As for the second song, We Three King, I was not very familiar by I am enjoying the song sang by this group called The Blenders.. Well I am kinda fascinated by their songs.. I mean a capella though. So I guess enjoy.. God bless..

One Small Child

One small child in a land of a thousand
One small dream of a Savior tonight
One small hand reaching out to the starlight
One small Savior of love
One small Savior of love

One king bringing his gold and his riches
One king ruling an army of might
One king kneeling with incense and candlelight
One King bringing us life
One King bringing us life

See the shepherds kneeling before him
See the kings on bended knee
See the mother praising the Father
See his tiny eyelids fall

One small child in a land of a thousand
One small dream of a Savior tonight
One small hand reaching out to the starlight
One small Savior of life
One small Savior of life

See the shepherds kneeling before him
See the kings on bended knee
See the mother praising the Father
See his tiny eyelids fall
(repeat 3X)

See the shepherds
See the kings
See his mother
See his tiny eyelids fall

We Three King of Orient
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star

O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy Perfect Light

Born a King on Bethlehem's plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to rein

O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light

Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity nigh
Pray'r and praising, all men raising
Worship Him, God most high

O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light

Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes of life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb

O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light

Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and Sacrifice
Alleluia, Alleluia
Earth to heav'n replies

O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light

Apocalypto

2008-08-25T23:45:00.003+08:00

I just finished watching Apocalypto, directed by Mel Gibson. Well the movie was kinda okay. But it was a bit lame though. It was about this Mayan warrior by the name of Jaguar Paw who was so-called destined to be the sole survivor of Mayan who managed to ran away from mercenaries who hunt for human being to be sold to the priest to be scarified.
I was quite excited watching these kind of movies because it talks about another different culture. FYI, I am history and culture lover. But at the end, the movie was just another gory movie filled with blood shedding and head flying all over. Not much head flying over but I guess it is about one soul survivor escaping from dozens of mercenaries. But what makes me dislikes the movie was when he was badly injured arrow going through his stomach and yet he did not die. It's something like Ultraman series when once his heart beeping red, he is supposed to die within a minute but at the end he lives on and killed the monster which terrorised the city. I mean come on.. What kind of movie is that? Throughout my life watching cartoons like Ultraman (actually Ultraman is not a cartoon after all. Just don't get it what type of entertainment is Ultraman called), I always wished Ultraman would die faster. Or at least the monster live longer. At least the show would prolonged a little bit more than its usual half an hour. But at the end, it ended up Ultraman live and monster die either his brothers came to his rescue or he speed up his fights.
Anyway there are a lot of episodes in Apocalypto where blood were flowing all over. And heads flying here and there. Its quite gory. And some episodes like the mercenary trying to kill himself when he was injured. That part was kinda scary. I dare not watch that part. Not to say I scare of blood but rather I dare not watch people commit suicide. I have sort of phobia watching that. The more I watched it the more I felt very "geli". Anyway there is one part where this lead actor was badly injured and he can run away from the mercenaries for two to three days without resting and without getting bruise. Okay. Fine. They don't show that part. Understood. But then each time he ran the mercenaries could not get faster than him. I mean he is injured. I would say badly injured. But he can run faster than the mercenaries??? What the crap is that lah?
Then his wife was pregnant when the mercenaries raided his village. So this hero of ours put her and his son into a well. Fine. But he sort of letting go of rope a bit up from the well and the wife slipped and fell into the well. I was like, "Come on.. The wife is pregnant and she fell into the well. No matter how many months she is pregnant if she fell she would had some sort of injury and that, I guess is bad for her to be born baby. She does a lot of stunts while hiding from the mercenary. In fact she stays there for like a week with her son. I actually wondered how she could survived in the well without any water and food. Very lame movie. At the end the baby was safety born. I mean she forced the baby out and the baby did come out but it was during flood and she was standing while giving birth. I mean, "Okay.. Standing and giving birth without any midwife's help." I could take that. But she fell quite a lot of time and the baby still survived. That one I can't accept it. Don't know why. I can't see any sense watching that movie.
So people just in case you are watching that movie and planning to watch the DVD, please don't waste your time and energy. I find it very lame watching that movie. In fact at the end of the movie, the lead actor saw ships wanting to sail into their island. It reminds me of the story of Pochantas, where the native from the island met the British man. So I guess the ending of Apocalypto is the new beginning of Pochantas story, huh? Anyway whatever la. I haven't watch Pochantas yet. So I do not have anything to comment then.
Anyway that's my comment bout the movie Apocalypto. No intention to offend anybody here. Just my piece of thoughts over that movie. Okay. Time to sleep already. God bless.. =)

Needed direction again...

2008-08-21T21:49:00.004+08:00

It had been quite sometime since my last blog. Well nothing much to blog really except that end of this month I had to move house again, either going back Kampar or I have to find a new place to move in in Damansara Jaya or to a place nearer to my working place. Anyway I am not sure what is God having in plan for me at the moment. But I am getting weary and tired of not knowing what to do. I mean I am not sure what is in future ahead of me. All the time since last time, I never have the chance to know what is in store for me. Two of my best friend, the twin brother, whom had since became my childhood friends, was prophesied that they will become missionary for God. I mean how awesome can that be. But that time I do not received any prophecy.
And now I am facing dilemma again. Dilemma of not knowing what to do. Had been experience the same dilemma for the past 10 years already. I mean I really want to know what is God having in store for me. Tired of wondering around not knowing what lies ahead of me. =( Anyway time flies faster this month. Next week would be my last week here in this SIB mission house. And I guess I am going to miss it. Hope that I would be able to go back to Kampar soon. Away from all hassle. Don't know la. Hope everything turn up well.. =)
Anyway nothing much to blog at the moment. Please pray for me for my future direction. Whatever it is I hope that I would know what is going on.. Thanks.. God bless.. =)

The Passion Tour, the passion of Christ

2008-08-05T22:04:00.002+08:00

3rd August was one special day. Well it was Passion Tour day where Pastor Louie, Chris Tomlin and Chris Hall had rocked KL as they came here for concert. At first when I went for the concert, I was kinda skeptical bout it. I mean for a guy my age, I wondered was is God trying to do in my life? I guess I am still in a blur situation of what God wants from me. But one thing I can say. I felt young again. Not because I jumped during the concert but rather God had use this concert to tell me, "Hey I am still useful to Him. But even if I am no longer useful anymore in future as I grow older and perhaps wiser, He still loves me."
Well when I went there, I would never had thought that Sunway Convention Centre was that packed. I mean it was even as packed as Youth Alive I attended 2 years ago in PJEFC church with Mun Yee, Xi Ying and Li Yan. Well one thing that amazed me was that everybody who came was very energetic. They worshipped God with their own loud voice. They rocked for Him. And I guess Passion came to Malaysia at the right time. It was during this time too that I was reminded that despite the world is evil in state, God still rules. There are still many fruit cake in this land of Malaysia. People are willing to travel as far as Kota Kinabalu Sabah just to attend the concert. I met one of my old KDU Christian Fellowship mate who actually took her time with her soon to be fiance to fly all the way from Kota Kinabalu just to attend the concert. And guess what? Both of them are Catholics. In fact I was reading some of the comments given by the concert attendee at www.268blog.com stating their own denominations after they finished commenting on the event. I mean normally these kind of event attracts charismatic churches. But guess what? It attracts every denomination youth perhaps you name it, some of them were there. I mean it is different that what I expected. Perhaps I am just narrowing my mind thinking that perhaps those who stays in Klang Valley would only come. But guess what? I am wrong.
I also saw unity in this concert. Everybody is singing the same song, JESUS CHRIST. Wanting Him into their lives. Nothing else. And when the worship songs were being played and sang, everybody (almost everybody lifted up their hand and surrender themselves to God). Mind you, these were just youth or those in their college and universities. Not to forget that there are still those like me approaching 30's who actually lifted my hand right up for Him. I am also reminded of this incident in the Bible where Elijah was running away from Jezebel. Here's the portion of scripture. It was taken in the book of 1 King 19:10-18.

The LORD Appears to Elijah

And the word of the LORD came to him: "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

10 He replied, "I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, broken down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too."

11 The LORD said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by."
Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. 13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.
Then a voice said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

14 He replied, "I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, broken down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too."

15 The LORD said to him, "Go back the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael king over Aram. 16 Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet. 17 Jehu will put to death any who escape the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death any who escape the sword of Jehu. 18 Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and all whose mouths have not kissed him." (New International Version)

The word, vs 18 is the most important verse for me for this blog. It says that despite all the things that man had done wrong and how Malaysia had been treated badly in this time to come, yet it was during this bad season and bad time, God choose 3rd August 2008 as a day to let the me, Malaysians and perhaps the world knows that there are about 4,000 youths or teenagers who are touched by the event and are willing to run after Him. Just like how Elijah had failed (I mean he thought he had failed) that God shows to everybody that He is in control and despite all trouble came, there are about 4,000 who actually came to worship and seek Him. You may say, "Ya right. You believed that He is truly in control?" Well my answer is I may not have that many faith as Abraham have or any Christian heroes have, but I believe that my small little faith is sufficiently enough for me for the moment. I mean I does still have a lot of doubt in life about what God will do for me but I would not let that to hinders me. By the way, I am talking as a human being and not as God or thou are holier type of person. Cause I know I am sinner and yet because I sinned, I can know this grace of God. If I do not sin, I would not know anything bout it. Am I right? Not to say that I wanted sin to happen to me so that I can have grace. =)
Anyway second thing I wanna say is this. I saw God's grace in the concert. Not because Louie say so. But I believe it is rather because God say so. You know why? I guess God is giving us another chance to repent of our sins and take Him back as our Saviour again. In fact He want us to re-dedicate ourselves back to Him. Seriously I may say this now. And tomorrow back to my old sin again. But I guess this is a part and parcel of life. Life that God intend us to be so that we can learn to get back to our first love again which is God Himself.
The story of Ashley led me to another moment of silence. I had always wanted to leave legacy when I die or when I leave a certain people. And I never knew that this Ashley who was once a party goer and later accepted Lord Jesus as her Saviour would had died of accident. I mean I want to leave legacy to people but I never though of leaving legacies when I died. But rather I want to do it when I am still very much alive. But I guess her greatest gift and legacy as a young born Christian of 3 months would be where Louie read her diary and share how she felt bout Christianity from the beginning, full of hurt and ends with accepting Christ as her personal Saviour which 3 months later, she died with God's glory on her. I mean that's a noble gift and legacy one could have in life. She gave God glory by believing in Him and now God gave her glory by using her name and her diary to lead pre-believer to Christ. Imagine how marvellous is that? =)
Okay. I guess I had overblog this long. I hope all we who had attended the concert or have not attended the concert but if the Passion Team actually are going to your country or your area, please do not hesitate to go. Going there to be touched by God are far more important than keeping the money for your own self. Well that was what I thought before. Now no more.. God bless.. =)

Monday blues

2008-07-28T22:26:00.002+08:00

Yesterday I blogged bout me eating durians. Today, I am going to blog bout me fallen sick. Well I do not know why but my body is heaty at the moment. I mean my body is hot now. I guess I am down with fever. Am going to.. Well today had been a day. A tiring day.. So to say. Office's air-cond has not been working properly. "As usual." And now with the latest update of me eating durian the day before had caused me having a even worst day of life. I am down with fever. Actually not really fever yet. Just that my body is having a warm temperature now. And I felt so weak. Guess tomorrow I am not going to work. "Again."
Why I say again? Well last Monday I was having a body ache. I mean I am not feeling well. Therefore I took half a day off. Tomorrow is Tuesday. I would be taking another day off. Consider it medical leave. Well have not been going to see doctor throughout this whole first half a year until last Monday. And tomorrow would be the second medical leave I guess I would need.
This morning I had submitted a transfer form back to Kampar. Well had wanted to do this for so long but no opportunity come. And guess what? Last week an internal e-mail from the Human Resource came and it stated that whosoever wanted to transfer can do so transparently. I mean last time I had to do it behind my boss' back. But now. Now I can do it openly since there my big boss wanted us to occupy the post back in Kampar. Well I guess why not I make it a try. If failed, at least I had tried. =) So there I go. Submit the form to HR. Wonder what they would do though. Cause for one thing it had never be done in my company though. Not that I know of. I guess this is one opportunity I should not miss eh? =)
Anyway my stay here had expired. I was told that the house that I am staying at the moment is going to be taking back by the owner if there is no one staying. Currently me and Paschal are the only tenant in the house and I am the chief tenant. Well I told the owner that I might leave anytime if the calling for me to go back to Kampar had come. The problem is I wasn't sure when. So when the master room tenants moved out one week plus, my stay here had been re-considered. What I mean by that? Well my house have four rooms; namely (my small room), Paschal and another China guy occupy the middle room and the fourth room is master room. The trouble came when the master room tenants moved out of the house mid of this month after they had completed their studies in KDU.
At the same time, the SIB international students cell group whom were in charge of the house had also disband due to because most of the students had gone back to their respective countries. In fact the cell group leader, Ms Jean Gan couldn't handle anymore cell because of her job. So in the end, the house had became empty. Me and Paschal were left in the house. As for the tenant that rent the other middle room, he went back to China and till now we do not have any news bout him. His rental for the month of July had not been paid and at the same time, his belonging was left unattended. So we actually are not very sure what is going on with him.
Paschal, in the other hand had plan to go back to Nigeria and wasn't sure of what he is going to in September onwards. I mean he is hoping to get a job in Malaysia and according to a lot of contacts that I have that I had asked bout introducing job to him, they told me it's hard for them to get a job in Malaysia. So with that in mind I am not sure what is going to happen in his life.
Yesterday, the owner of the house came and gave me a shocking news. Since everyone is not sure of what is going to happen to them after Septemeber, there is a family friend of the owner who are interested in renting the whole house for a temperory of six month so that their actual house would be given away for renovation. So in that sense if I could not find a tenant within yesterday until Thursday (31st July) the owner would give us one month notice to move out of the house. But her intention of renting this house for us with no rent increase is because she want to bless the Christians and open the house for fellowship. I mean she wanted the people who stays here in the house to use it like a mission house. Blessing other Christians. Christian Fellowships, cell groups etc etc etc.. That's her only intention. So from now until 31st July I hope that there would be somebody or any Christian organisations who are interested in using the house for their fellowships. Whatsoever church also can use it.
Anyway its getting late now.. Got to rest oredi. Tomorrow taking medical leave. God bless..

Trip to the orang asli's

2008-07-27T19:44:00.003+08:00

This weekend has been wonderful weekend for me. I went to Orang Asli kampung under Orang Asli ministry of The Life Chapel, Petaling Jaya. Well this was my second trip there. The first time was held last month. To be precise it was held every last weekend of the month. My first trip there was last weekend of June. Anyway the kampung we visited is Kampung Pelawan, Mentakab, Pahang. The kampung we visited is actually quite developed. The church building were built with mortar and brick. Not those wooden or hut type of building. =)
Anyway yesterday we started our journey from 2pm onward and arrived there at 5.30pm. Throughout the journey we managed to drop by places for makan purposes. Managed to drop by friend banana or pisang goreng stall and had some nce time for tea. On the way we managed to buy quite a bunch of durians for tea and for dinner for our extra dish purposes.
I managed to get a very nice 12 hours or sleep which I did not really had during my working weeks. Managed to get some pictures during the first trip there but due to computer manintenance I did not managed to upload it. Will try to upload it soon. =)
Actually our job during this visit was to distributes goods and unwanted products to the kampung people. Well I guess they are so much richer than us in the sense each time we go there they would get lotsa unwanted quality clothes and products that benefits them. Some of them even go as far as branded clothes. As for me the church people, we only wear simple and normal clothes to church and they wore quality clothes donated by us. But then throughout the journey for the past two trip there the OA leader whom I called as Dr George, he managed to carry lots of unwanted things for the orang asli for each trip. I am amazed at how generous they all are. Okay la. Those might be products that they do not want anymore but yet each trip the van would be pack with the donated product. I mean how marvelous can our Lord be some more. Praise Him for all that He had given to the orang asli.
And guess what? I managed to eat more durians today. Well pre-lunch I managed to wallop more durians. These durian are of quality type. And it taste good. =) In fact throughout the journey there yesterday afternoon until just now as I arrive home, the van was full of durian's smell. =) And what a smell it was.. Yummy.. =) And somehow or rather one of my greatest achievement was I am able to plant some durian tree during my stay there. Okay la. Not a good planter. But then durian seed can be throw on the soil and it would grow by itself. So no worries bout that. Managed to taste some nice mangosteens as well... And drank hill water as well.. =)
Anybody want to join? Next trip would be 23rd to 24th of August. =) Third weekend of the month cause the following weekend would be a long weekend. So that weekend we would take some rest.. =) God bless..

Resigning thought

2008-07-21T15:23:00.003+08:00

It has been nearly a week since the incident happened. Well what may had happened? You may asked. Well last Wednesday my director and my manager had a discussion over my job evaluation or performance. My manager gave me a satisfactory in everything I performed during work. When my director heard of it, he was not so happy. In fact he was very disappointed with me. He told me I should get good remark and not satisfactory remark in performing my task. He then gave me two options. 1st I either resign or 2nd I work harder. I was thinking how much more can I work hard if I were to be the only one working. The rest of the staffs were just doing their simple job. And each time things gone wrong, I would be the one who would get it. How fair can it be?
Anyway since my director had gave me these two word of "I resign" my heart is not really for the company anymore. I mean how could I work there anymore if my director and manager were like wanting to abandon me already. So now I am looking for a new way out. Planning to resign but then I missed my colleagues a lot. I mean they were there to support me. Not really support me though but then they listens to me. Each time I told them what to do in order not to get scolded they listens without asking questions. At the end of the day, everything turns up well between me and them. And now they are sad that I am planning to leave them. Don't know lah. I am quite confused now. I actually reluctantly to leave my company because of them. I mean there is nothing there for me to miss except for the fact that my colleagues are part of my family. Anyway I do not think I can last long in my company anymore. The most is end of this year I would be no more in the company. The earliest I want to leave the company would be end of August and the latest would be end of the year. I guess there is nothing for me there and I hope that I managed to brought a legacy down to them. I mean they had been working like china man mentality where they are told to do work and yet when other people needed help none of them give the person a hand. I may not be the perfect employee in the company but then I guess helping others from other departments would do us more good.
My aunt from JB told me that when we work we should focus only on our work. But what other department do we should not interfere. I guess she is right. But at times when they need our help let us be the Christian by action and not word. Let us try to help them.
Too many time Christians live by word and not action. At the end of the day, they are just no different than the Pharisees. When we called them that they got offended. I do not know what Christian thinks nowadays. The Bible taught us to live by faith and by action. Not just Word alone. So let us learn to do that. If us being a Christian just say we are Christians and yet does nothing to help others, then might as well don't call ourselves Christian. Give shame to God only.
Anyway I still do not know what future lies ahead. Hope things turn well and all glory to God. =) God bless..

13 favourite Youtube music video that I love the most

2008-07-13T04:07:00.003+08:00

Wow!! It has been quite some time since I last blogged. I guess I had became a seasoned blogger instead of regular blogger. Well my computer is still hospitalised and the CPU that I am using now is still my house mate's CPU. =(
Recently I had checked up quite a few YouTube video and I reckon I had found my top 12 list of my favorite YouTube videos. I am listing it down here for everybody's enjoyment. Here goes. =)

My top 12 list of favorite YouTube video are:

No.12

This song, I Like Chopin was sang by Paul Mazzolini nicknamed Gazebo. I first knew about this song was from the Hong Kong group called Grasshopper or in Chinese they are called 草蜢. They were quite popular during the 90's. Below are the Cantonese version of I Like Chopin by Grasshopper called 再見 Rainy Days.

No.11

This song called Always and was sang by Jon Bon Jovi. I find this song more energetic than his other song, It's My Life. I first knew bout it since the album called That's What I Called Music came out in the mid 90's.

No.10

This song, Dance With My Father Again by Luther Van Dross was the song I dedicated for all fathers during the Father's Day last month. This song was quite a touching song though. I mean to me la. And it reminds me of how my parent had been very protective over me when I was a young boy. How a father would care and be there for his sons or daughters. Well the singer had passed away on 1st July 2005. 3 years and 13 days already. May God bless you, Luther. Rest in peace.

No.9

This song is called Hey Jude by The Beatles is all the time one of my favorite song ever. I do not know why I like the song but I guess it was because this song was my intro to English rock song. =)

No.8

This song is called Yesterday sang by The Beatles again is one of the popular song ever sang before. In fact it is always popular. Don't know why but I just like it. =P

No.7

For most of us who had watched this movie, this song is the theme song of The Curse Of The Golden Flower starring the singer of this song, Jay Chou. Well this song is called 菊花台 or Ju Hua Tai in PinYin (Chinese word simplified). Although I am not a fans of Jay Chou but I like this song. Very nice music and you can hear erhu (a Chinese musical instrument) being played there. =)

No.6

This song is another favorite song of mine sang by John Lennon. I do not know whether he sang it with the remaining member of The Beatles but this song is super nice for me. I like its lyrics and tune as well. The title of this song is called Happy Christmas (War Is Over). I know Christmas is still long to go but hey Happy Christmas (War Is Over).

No.5

This song is called 你的名字我的姓 sang by Jacky Cheung or in Chinese 张学友, a well known singer from Hong Kong, known as one of the Hong Kong's Heavenly Four. I do not know the meaning of the song but for direct Chinese translation it is called Your Name, My Surname. I don't get the meaning, ok? =P

No.4

This singer is called Valen Hsu or in Chinese 許茹芸 is my most favorite Chinese female singer. She is not only cute and pretty and sweet. Not many people likes her song though. Her songs are mostly sad songs. But but I like her because she have a powerful voice. I saw her profile and it says that she is a Christian. Praise God for that. By the way this song is called 如果雲知道 or direct Chinese translation, If Sky Knows.

No.3

This song called Imagine is sang by Charlotte Church. Though she is not the original singer for that song, but I like her voice for that song though. I mean opera voice though. Not bad. The same goes below.

Josh Groban also sang the sang beautifully. But the original song was sang below.

The original song was song by John Lennon from The Beatles again. Well people may say hey that's a Communist song though. I mean no religion and everything we share. Well you are right. But if we see at a different point of view where Christianity is not about religion but it is about relationship. Then we shall see all things differently. Yet when I say we share stuff I do not mean share it blindly. But we share it with wisdom. Well I mean that's my point of view. If you can't accept it please comment. I am hoping for comment though. =) Thanks.

No.2

Nothing can beats this song Reflection sang by Christina Aguilera. The song is the theme song for Mulan. It reminds me of my past, my reflection towards my past.

No.1

I had dedicated this song in previous blog. And I guess of all the 12 songs I nominated as my favorite songs in my life or as in YouTube I guess this would be my most favorite. Sang by Sting and the title is called My Funny Friend and Me. Well all in all I would like to dedicated this song to you all my fellow friends, whom I had known till now. Why I choose this song? Well I guess God created us all funnily. Don't you think so? We are created in a way by God with a different character in life. We are not the same and yet we are able to live together. Ain't that a miracle? Anyway may God bless you all. For your information, this is the original music video. I am not very sure what is the original music video but if not mistaken the original music video is The Emperor's New Groove. You can get the YouTube below.

Finally and not the last, I would like to dedicated this 13th song to our beloved Jesus Christ. I mean I had dedicated the whole 12 favorite song of mine to you all and now this specially dedication is for our beloved Jesus Christ. Here goes.
.

This song is called The Stand sang by Hillsong United. The lyric is attached below. God bless.. =)

The Stand

You stood before creation
Forever within Your hand
You spoke all life into motion
My soul now to stand

You stood before my failure
And carried the cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
My soul now to stand

So what can I say
And what could I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

So I’ll walk upon salvation
Your Spirit alive in me
This life to declare Your promise
My soul now to stand

So I’ll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all
I’ll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours

Friendster is good

2008-06-27T23:20:00.004+08:00

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

2008-06-23T21:44:00.003+08:00

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

2008-06-16T00:27:00.004+08:00

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

2008-06-14T02:40:00.002+08:00

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.. =)

God's Secret To Greatness: The Power of Towel

2008-06-11T22:57:00.004+08:00

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

2008-06-10T23:40:00.002+08:00

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

2008-06-08T20:24:00.003+08:00

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.. =)
