A promise?

*Bringing along a wet rag & a bucket of water*

Now, now, there, there, there.... This blog is filled with spider web together with dust, dust and more dust!!!! *Spring cleaning time is up!*

It has been awhile since I step into my blog profile and click on the "New post" button. Is there still any reader out there? =/ *H E L L O ...... *Echo follows.....** OK.... Maybe not...

Boy, what a day.... Could hardly describe my day but thank God I manage to accomplished my task for the day =) I was driving back from work today with a heavy head... However, don't ask me why, the word "BLOG" suddenly came to mind. Hmmm.... Is this a hint that I should learn to write more? Yes, I have to admit that I do not have perfect English *Sigh* but yet as the old saying goes, "practice makes perfect", isn't it so? Thus, bear up with my mistakes, grammers and all the nonsense that I am (or soon to commit) committing.

Now, what actually came into my mind when I thought of my blog? Interesting... Emm... Thoughts? I remember some of my readers told me in time past... 不管晴天, 雨天,不分昼夜,只要你还在写部落各,这里,永远都会有一个,至少一个,不离不去的读者。。。I was thinking to myself... Is that not a promise? Years after.... Now... Is it still valid? Well, I am 100% certain that it is "INVALID" now. But that's beside the point.... The main issue that I wish to point out is.... How long can one keep his / her promise(s)? Will there not be a time where he/she breaches the promise(s)?

This morning, I can't stop thinking about the Israelites after my devotion. Words from Proverbs was lingering in my head since I read my portion of Sciptures today.

"Remember the days of old; consider the generations long past. Ask your father and he will tell you, your elders, and they will explain to you. When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided all mankind, he set up boundaries for the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel.

For the LORD's portion is his people, Jacob his allotted inheritance. In a desert land he found him, in a barren and howling waste. He shielded him and cared for him; he guarded him as the apple of his eye, like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them on its pinions.

The LORD alone led him; no foreign god was with him. He made him ride on the heights of the land and fed him with the fruit of the fields. He nourished him with honey from the rock, and with oil from the flinty crag, with curds and milk from herd and flock and with fattened lambs and goats, with choice rams of Bashan and the finest kernels of wheat. You drank the foaming blood of the grape."
They were so blessed.... They were as the apple of His eyes, God was protecting them always. He even provided them sufficiently. However, what is the ending of the story? They turned away from God and worship worthless and breathless idols. They have forgotten the God who fathered them.

You know what is the irony of this? Just a few chapter before, all you could read of is reminder after reminder to Israel that they should stay on the path of righteousness. They should worship only the Lord their God and no one else. In fact, they even acknowledged all those law and knew what would happen to them if they fail to obey it... Did they not went into a covenent with God? But what happened? Did they not fall into sin? Did they not get all those punishment spoken by God due to their failure in obeying His words?

A promise is so easily uttered now of days. Yes, at the spur of the moment, that promise might be a sincere utterance, but think again, are you willing to hold on to your promises and fulfill it as mention? If not, I rather one think twice or trice before uttering a promise to another. Don't act rashly but sit down and count your cost, for each word you utter, it will bring forth impact towards others.

As for me, I have a duty to carry out. May it be so then as it is uttered. May God grant me the strength and empowered me to do the necessary things for His glory sake. Amen.

More of You and less of me..

More holiness give me,
More sweetness within,
More patience in suff'ring,
More sorrow for sin,
More faith in my Savior,
More sense of His care,
More joy in His service,
More freedom in prayer.

* Come, my Savior, and help me,
Comfort, strengthen and keep me;
Thou each moment wilt save me,
Thou art saving me now.

More gratitude give me,
More trust in the Lord,
More zeal for His glory,
More hope in His Word,
More tears for His sorrows,
More pain at His grief,
More meekness in trial,
More praise for relief.

More victory give me,
More strength to o'ercome,
More freedom from earth-stains,
More quest for the throne,
More fit for the kingdom,
More useful I'd be,
More blessed and holy,
More, Savior, like Thee.

Tiresome..


Tiresome... I could hardly think properly now... With my work undone, my head can't seem to concentrate at all. Grant me strength... Grant me that strenght O Lord to persevere and be a faithful servant of Yours.

A question that's not a question...

I was watching a Korean comedy show yesterday night and I couldn't stop laughing at them... Well, after a long day in the office, it is truly nice to have a good laugh at the end of the day =)


Something interesting was brought up of when I watched the show... It goes.....


A: How was your result last time? Are you a good student?


B: Emmm... I was good at some particular subjects... Not all.... I like language classes but my math was horrible. Even up till now, I can't do any multiplying questions AT ALL.


C: Oh... Is it? Hey, I faced the same situation as you! But I am not that bad until I can't do any questions regarding multiplication.


D: *directing question to B* What is 6 * 7?


B: Emm.......................... Sorry, I really don't know..... I know the answer for 1 * 7 though. *laughing*


E: *Looking at D* Hey, do you know the answer for your question? I doubt you even know the answer yourself! *Giggle*


D: *calmly* Tell me E, who on earth will actually ask you a question when he / she already know the answer? If so, it won't be called as a question, isn't it?


*Silent for a few second.....*


E: *with a serious looks* Sorry D, it is my mistake.


*Everybody burst out laughing*


=End=


Now..... 633 wonder.... During her school day....


When the teachers set exam questions for an exam, do you think they know the answer for it? If your answer is yes, why then is it called exam QUESTIONS? If no, does that mean they too need to sit down with us and study together? =P


OK, enough of my lame joke. Enjoy your public holiday =)

Lamunan? Realiti?

Angin bertiup sepoi-sepoi bahasa, dengan lembutnya terpukal akan mukaku... Aku memejam mataku dan mengizinkan diriku "melayang".

"Adakah semua ini lamunan saya? Adakah kata-kata kesat itu dituju terhadapku? Adakah semua ini satu pembohongan? Adakah perubahan itu benar?"

Entah sejak bila, air mata mengalir perlahan ke pipiku. Dengan segera aku menjenguk ke gendela. Permikiranku keliru dan sering kali persoalan itu tertimbul dalam mindaku. Aku menggeleng kepalaku dan mula berdoa.

"Mengapa Engkau berdiri jauh dan menyembunyikan diriMu pada waktu ini? Bangkitlah, Tuhan, hulurkan tanganMu dan janganlah sesekali melupakan aku."

*Mengesat air mataku* Teringin aku menafikan kebenaran tersebut namun, itu tidak mungkin.. Semenjak hari itu, dimana aku telah memilih jalan ini, aku sepatutnya bersedia untuk menanggung segala-galanya. Baiklah, biarkanlah aku menanggungnya dengan hati yang gembira. Hanya satu permintaan daripadaku, iaitu, Tuhan, bersama-samalah dengan aku.

Come... Come.. Come...

To every toiling, heavy-laden sinner, Jesus says, "Come to me and rest". But there are many toiling, heavy-laden believers, too. For them this same invitation is meant. Note well the words of Jesus, if you are heavy-laden with your service, and do not mistake it. It is not, "Go, labour on," as perhaps you imagine. On the contrary, it is stop, turn back, "Come to me and rest." Never, never did Christ send a heavy laden one to work; never, never did He send a hungry one, a weary one, a sick or sorrowing one, away on any service. For such the Bible only says, "Come, come, come."
=Hudson Taylor=
I am weary and tired... Somehow, I was reminded of this song. One of my favourite hymns. =)

May I...

May my eyes see what You have done since creation.
May my ears hear what You have to say to me since my birth.
May my mouth speak only what You intend me to say.
May my heart understand Your statutes and obey them until the end of my day.

Good night to all & Happy Sabbath.

Something I read... =)

I never see failure as failure, but only as a learning experience.
I never see failure as failure, but only as the negative feedback I need, to change course in my direction.
I never see failure as failure, but only as the opportunity to develop my sense of humour.
I never see failure as failure, but only as the practice my techniques & perfect my performance.
I never see failure as failure, but only as the game I must learn to win.
