The moment I step into this blog, somehow, I felt like a stranger... Looking at the screen I wonder am I the author of this blog. I have been away for quite some time. Away from my place.


I yearn for a moment. Just a moment will do. I yearn for a moment whereby time will just stop and I will not hear any ticking of the clock.


Living on this earth for 20 plus years, somehow I still feel that I am not living as how I ought to live. There are something more important in my life that I should be doing. Something that I missed out all these while... I couldn't be certain myself. In the state of seeking, in the state of asking tonnes of questions to myself.


I went to The Curve yesterday for countdown. Without me realising it, time flies.... Another year just went passed me... Just like that.. Looking at the firework yesterday, I was telling God in my heart, "God, thank you. Without You saving me, I truly cannot see myself standing here underneath Your sky, watching such a beautiful scene. All I hope for this year is just to be by Your side. I hope my faith will not be like the firework. Though it is beautiful in sight but it doesn't last at all. I hope, I hope that You will sustain me, strangthen my faith. I hope that You will not leave me nor forsake me."


Ahhh... A brand new year, a brand new begining. May I continue on this walk with the Lord and glorify His mighty name even as I work. Amen

Lastly, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!! Have a blessed year ahead =)

Mario to the kill (rescue)??

Enjoy the video!

Merry Christmas to all! =)

A short update

Dear readers,


First and foremost, I would like to apologies for not updating this blog frequently.


Secondly, today is my first day of work ^.^ Interesting... Ok, it's bored on the first day... I couldn't help out my colleagues because I have no access to their system yet. Nevertheless, I was surprise to see APIITians over there. Tomorrow should be a busy day for me. What is the most interesting thing that took place today? I spent RM20 on my lunch. YES, RM20. OK, to many working people out there, it might sound like a small amount to you but mind you I am dead broke! I only ordered a mee soup + a drink. THAT'S ALL! Sigh... I will try and ask my colleagues to go for a cheaper place tomorrow. I regretted not deciding on the place of eating today! *I am not familiar with the place anyway*


I HAVE YET TO BUY ANY CHRISTMAS PRESENTS!!!! (=.-)" No money also... This year... I shall have no present for myself. Nevertheless, I am looking forward to CNY! Heheh... So can't wait to see my granny!!!! ^.^ I missed all the foods~


OK... That's all for the updates, I am trying to get my hands on the Youth Camp pictures. Hehe... If I can get it.. I will post it ^.^


Adios~

Thankful

Going for an annual eyes check up tomorrow. Feeling a little afraid but I like the doctor a lot ^.^ She's so careful in doing her job and she make sure everything is being carried out properly. Something that I fear after the check up would be the "short term blurness" (due to the medicine). Basically, your eyes will be seeing two visions (something like those who are short-sighted), you are unable to walk properly and you will feel dizzy after that.


Sometimes, people take things that are given by God for granted. They thought that since they can see with their eyes now, until the day they die, they will still be able to see with their eyes. What about your hearing? What about your voice? The air that you breathe everyday? Health? Do you thank God everyday for what He has given to you? Or you just take all those things that I mentioned for granted?


I am getting old, that, I have to admit. Though I don't like people calling me "aunty" but then, it's a blessing to be old, isn't it? Hey, imagine how many cakes you have eaten throughout your life! =P OK, I am a bit too.... "Foodaholic" But the main point is..... Everybody needs a reminder! Therefore, here is a reminder to all, to thank God for what He has given to you and to acknowledge those blessings! Neverever forget to glorify God with what He has given to you (^.^)


MERRY XMAS TO ALL!!!!

Out of words...

Malam melanjut, namun denyutan jantungku tidak dapat ku rasai. Masa seolah-olah berhenti untuk mengizinkan aku memperhatikan orang itu.


Walaupun aku hanya dapat perhatikan dia dari jauh tetapi ia sudah mencukupi. Dapat kulihat dengan teliti bahawa kegelapan mulai menguasai hidupnya Hatiku pilu apabila melihat keadaannya sekarang. Setiap kali dia terlintas dalam mindaku, sering kali aku mengimbas kembali masa lampauku. Air mataku membasahi pipiku tanpa disedari. Persoalanan tidak henti-henti tertimbul dalam mindaku. "Itulah saya suatu masa dahulu" hanya perkataan ini sahajalah yang dapat aku lafazkan kepada diriku sendiri.


Siapakah yang dapat menyelamatkannya dari kegelapan dunia? Ada sesiapa yang sudi menghulurkan bantuan kepada dia? Jelas sekali terhadap mereka bahawa Tuhan yang maha berkuasa dapat membantu mereka tetapi kenapa hatinya keras sekali untuk menerimanya? Kenapa dia tidak bertaubat walaupun tingkah lakunya salah?


Dosa... Memang menakutkan kerana ia memisahkan kita daripada Tuhan.
Dosa... Memang menakutkan kerana ia dapat "membutakan" mata seseorang dan menyebabkan seseorang tidak dapat membezakan betul dan salah.
Dosa... Memang menakutkan kerana tiada ubat dalam dunia ini yang dapat mengubati penyakit ini, kecuali melalui Tuhan Yesus Kristus.


Sudikah anda mengikuti jalan yang disediakan oleh Tuhan yang akan membawa kamu ke syurga? Alangnya baik jikalau kamu dapat kembali kepada rumahmu...

Leviticus 1 -5

Reading: Leviticus 1- 5


*I will not be posting the Scripture here as it will be too long. Thus, read the word from http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus%201%20;&version=50; *


Yes, indeed it is a long passage. If you read carefully, you will realise.....
a) Burnt offering (Chapter 1)
b) Grain offering (Chapter 2)
c) Peace offering (Chapter 3)
d) Sin offering (Chapter 4)
e) Tresspasses offering (Chapter 5)


There are many types of offerings written in this book but let us just focus on these 5 offerings and derive some spiritual teachings for ourselves.


Firstly, we have to admit that all of us are not perfect, thus, you will be expecting the scene whereby many people will be bringing forward their sacrifices in order to perform sin offerings every single day. Besides that, we shouldn't leave out the people who were here for burnt offerings, grain offerings as well as peace offerings. Now, I want you to put yourself in the Israelite shoe. Can you imagine what they were seeing everyday with their eyes? Can you imagine what they were hearing every single day? Can you then imagine what they are smelling each day?


To get a glimpse of what they went through, follow your mum to the market. I can assure you, if you are stepping into the wet market for the very first time, your reaction will be "eeeeeeeeee, so dirty...." Not only that, you can also smell an unpleasant odor. If you are "blessed", you can even see some of the sellers slaughtering life chicken! Imagine the cry of the livestock, the unpleasant odor and the bloody scene from the market, multiply it 100 times (or more). The result of that would be the scene of the Israelite EVERY DAY! Isn't that a repulsive scene? Yes, indeed it is!


What is God trying to portray over here? That scene that the Israelite saw, heard and smelled every single day is a glimpse of what God sees when we sin against Him each day. To God, our sins are disgusting! Therefore, whenever you are about to sin against God, think of this scene. Think of how God will feel when He sees you from above and then stop sinning against Him. On the other hand, when you have sinned against God, think of this scene as well, to know how sinful and filthy you are before God. Subsequently, repent of your sin and come back to Him.


Secondly, did you realise that every single offering require the offerer to incur a certain amount of cost? Even the poor, God asked for animals as the sacrifice (Lev 5:7). Can you imagine the money they can obtain from the sales of all those animals? They can even eat the animals as their meals! However, they didn't. Why? They chose to give up the animals to God as their sacrifice to Him. They willingly and whole-heartedly gave in all those to God (even though it costs them). Are you then giving up your all in all to God, willingly and whole-heartedly?


Thirdly, it is so obvious that God gave us an articulate (thorough and detailed) account of the way Israelite should offer up their sacrifice etc. Why then is God doing this? He is actually telling us that He has His own way to save His people. Nobody can come to Him unless he/she comes to Him according to His way and only His way. Are you then approaching Him correctly? Are you picking on His words (All those you can obey, you will obey. Else, you will ignore them)? Remember, God will only accept you if you are doing according to His way.


In short, we are all sinner before God. However, thank God that He didn't just stop there and allow all of us to be condemn to hell! He gave His only begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ to us and He was crucified on the cross because of our sins. Thus, we are able to come near to God the Father not because we are worthy but because of Jesus's blood that wash us clean from our sin and His righteousness is regarded as ours whilst our sins are regarded as His. Nevertheless, as God has His own appointed way to salvation therefore always bear in mind that you need to come to God according to His way and not yours! In addition, note that it is solely of God's grace that you can come to faith in Him.
=End=


p/s Sorry, I am not that good in writing, but I am trying my best to write down what I have learnt through CF, YF and even bible study in order to remember by heart what I have learnt thus far. A big apologies to all (especially the preachers) if I didn't present the thing well. Hehe... You can always (always welcome) leave a comment and add in all those things that I left out =P

......

The word for today is.....


Exhausted


Don't ask me why am I still online when I am so darn tired~ Not in a good state to answer such question...

When times are well...

Scripture: James 4:7-17


7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

11Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?

13Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 14Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." 16As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. 17Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.

_._._._._._._._._._._._._

Topic: When all things are well
The word "therefore" is mainly used to introduce a logical conclusion based on facts or reasoning. It is as though "therefore" served as a purpose of "drawing out the main point" for the readers. In this short passage (James), you can clearly see that there are two "Therefore" in the passage (v7 & 17). As a result, it shows forth that in this short passage, all the words written there will be concise and important. In this respect, we will be looking into this passage and draw out the spiritual elements for ourselves.


In this passage, it is clear that the passage is written in an imperative format, whereby all the things stated here are commands / essential for the Christian. For instance, Submit to God, Resist the devil etc.


The passage can be further divided into 3 sections.
a) V7 - V10 == Focusing on self
b) V11 - 12 == Focusing on the relationship with others
c) V13 -17 == Focusing on the relationship with God


Our main focus will be mainly on V13 -17. Therefore, let us now study His words further in order to find out what God has to say to all those Christian who are currently not facing any trials and all things are well in life.


If you read V13, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit", you will have the idea that the person who said such statement will be in a state whereby he/she is carefree. He/She should be in a state whereby all things are well and not facing any difficulties in life. In fact, you can see that that person is trying to improve their life through investment.


Implicitly, people who said such words seem to portray that they are confident in their financial state. If you think further, aren't many of us fall in the same category? Well, you might not be confident in your financial status, but what about physically (i.e. having a good body shape)? Mentally? Socially (i.e. Having a big social network in life)? Psychologically? Many of us tend to be too over confident upon ourselves and forgetting that all things come from God.


Many of you can argue saying that "we are just planning for the future", is that wrong? Well, I didn't say that we shouldn't plan ahead, in fact, we should! But what makes it a sin and displease God? Look at verse 14. God clearly told us that we are way too over confident with ourselves and plans until we forgot the fact that we are not at all in control of all things. We are as though planning and being so certain that it will turn out the way we expected it. We forgot the fact that regardless how well we plan, if it is not God's wills, all things will not take place as we plan. To make the matter worse, we always tend to plan things according to our heart desires and preferences and not submitting to God ultimately. How then can we please God with our earthly desires plans? It will never please God!


Hence, how should we plan and not displease God with our plans?
We should always put God in the picture and submit to His wills whenever we are planning or deciding on our future. For instance, if you are hunting for a job, you take into consideration of the working hours (don't work on Sunday), working environment that will affect your spiritual growth etc. If it doesn't help you spiritually or doesn't glorifying God, you tend not to pursue it. Yes, though it might take you longer to seek for a suitable job but nevertheless you trust in God that He will provide. That is how you plan and decide on your future by acknowledging God and submitting to Him regardless what are the outcomes of your plans.


When all things are well, God knew that we tend to be overly confident regarding self. Therefore, God reminded us through James to submit to Him, resist the devil, draw near to Him, purify our hearts, humble ourselves etc (V7-12). But the most important message in this passage would be in V13-16 whereby God reminded us that we shouldn't be looking too much on the horizontal view (relationship with human) and forgetting the vertical view (relationship with God) even at times of ease.


Therefore, regardless what is happening in your life, regardless how you look physically, regardless of anything, submit yourself whole-heartedly to Him and constantly seeking His will and His words.

发发牢骚。。。

身体有少许的不舒服，似乎快倒了似的。


外面下这雨， 心， 依然有少许的沉重。思念的心， 依然存在。
今天所学的东西， 似乎是神刻意对我说的。
一位基督徒应该拥有学无止境的精神， 永远往上看，永远往上爬。
我，又到了那个阶段？


看了看从前写的信，我顿时有个念头。。
如果时间应许，我希望回到以前，把我的错误一一纠正。
我真的恨不得把一切一切都撕掉。
我恨不得把一切一切都烧了。
但，我并没那么做。
因为，这是逃避现实。时间一去不回头。
所以，我留着信， 提醒自己，
我要我自己永永远远地记得是上帝带领我到此地。
是上帝的恩典，我来到了他的面前。
是上帝的爱戴，我找到了生活的意义。
是上帝的出现，我，终于从黑暗中走了出来。


我，真的很想我的一生的路，与神一起走下去。
神啊， 真如摩西所说的。。
岂不是因你与我们同去 、使我和你的百姓与地上的万民有分别麽？
所以神啊， 请你与我同去， 走完人生的这一道路。

Oh~ Mana anak kambing saya?

Life?

(created by: Ng Bi Yan)

Ever wonder where your life is heading? Yes, without a doubt, I know many of you out there obtained a plan for yourself. Regardless whether is it a detailed plan or just a rough idea on what you want to do in the future, it doesn't matter. The main point that I wish to emphasize over here is... How certain are you that all those plans you have in mind will come to life? How certain are you that all things that you plan will take place exactly as how you plan? Will it?


No offense to all but I still hold on to the belief that nothing is certain in life, except death. That is the only thing I can assure every readers out there that it will take place. You can be as positive as you want, you can be optimistic, you can be a so called "looking at the bright side person", but tell me one thing... Does it change the fact that you will die one day?


I once read a book, the author claimed that if you think positive, all those positive things will eventually come to you. 33 said, wake up and be realistic. Regardless how you think, if it is God's plan for you to die, you will die. OK I have to admit that I am a pessimistic person but that still doesn't mean that death will come earlier to me, right? Well, unless God made it that way.


Now, since death is so certain in life, why then live? You will die anyway, right? What then is the purpose of living? To eat? To learn? To have a family? Then what? I believe many out there are asking those questions from time to time. Some got the answer for their questions, but many don't.


Life, is more than you can imagine. Life is more precious but it is often made small in value because many don't understand the meaning of life. What then is life?


Come and listen to what the creator (God of the bible) has to say since He created you and me. Let us come and listen what He actually has for us in our life.

Hope to see you there and have all your questions answered!

Story ^.^

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"

The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way."
What he had written was: "Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it."

Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Moral of the Story:

Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

Invite others towards good with wisdom. Live life with no excuse and love with no regrets. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.

Great men say, "Life has to be an incessant process of repair and reconstruction, of discarding evil and developing goodness…. In the journey of life, if you want to travel without fear, you must have the ticket of a good conscience."

The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling…
And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!

Insomnia again... Sigh....

The word is insomnia.... Dead dead dead tired.... I practically didn't even go into ZzzZ world yesterday night. I was asleep for few minutes and I was awaken.... (T.T)


The picture above really depict me well! I went to bed around 1 a.m. yesterday as I couldn't close my eyes in any way.... I then decided to give it a try on sleeping... I tucked myself comfortably into my comforter and hugged my bolster. Incredibly I was getting tired and my eyes were closing without any counting of sheep! Weeee~~~~


Suddenly...... CREEEEEEEE.... CREEEEEEE...... CREEEEEE..... I thought it was my dog scratching on my door but it is impossible as my dog is outside of the house! I got a little worried and suddenly something caught my attention... It was my window... There's a shadow..... I was worried and scare, thinking that it was a burglar.

Where is the rooster now? At the back of my house..... With its hands and wings tied up with rope! Hahahaha.... At least it is not crowing! The confinement aunty kept on saying "slaughter it, slaughter it~" Hahaha... Have to admit that the rooster is darn fat and meaty! NO, we are not going to eat it, though tempting! Hahaha.... Anyway, thank God I am not working today else I will collapse over there and sleep!

Sherlock Holmes

'The facts are not always what they seem, we think that they all point to the same thing but,

if we look at them in another way, they can tell quite a different story."

= Sherlock Holmes =

(Taken from: http://www.americanhistoricaltheatre.org/Page%20gallery/patriot_p5.htm)

I finish reading Sherlock Holmes's Mystery of Boscomble Pool. Interesting? Emmm... Sorry to Sherlock Holmes's fans beforehand, but I truly find the book a little too.... Boring + not exciting. I am actually expecting more adventures, more unexpected things coming out from Holmes. OK, have to admit that the book is TOO THIN to write more of all those elements that I am expecting.... Hahahah... Nevertheless, the sentence above caught my attention as I read the book.

And I started thinking.....
1) Are you sometimes too carried away with the facts that appeared before your eyes and unable to see the "other side of the story"?
2) Are you sometimes too stubborn with your own thoughts and opinions thus unable to see the "other side of the story"?

Facts may be so obvious for many to see.
But.......
a) Sometimes people may just twist and turn facts and make it as though it is the true facts before you in order to confuse you! Nevertheless, I remember 737 told me something in CF, when there's a question in your head, don't be lazy but to find out the TRUTH. If you are lazy, that's why it is easy for people to tell you "false facts" because they knew that you will not find out any way. Therefore, bare in mind that laziness is a attitude that will really kill you. A hard lesson to learn indeed but I still believe in doing things step by step with God's strength. Uncertain on how long will it take but I know God is at work.
b) Are you believing it just because many said so or are you believing because it is the truth?

Sorry, my head is "flying" all over the place. When I was reading this story book, my thoughts was on false prophets.

"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognise them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that doesn't bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognise them. "(Matthew 7:15-20)

Well, I find it quite similar with Holmes's saying. Why?
Firstly, false prophet might appears to you just like a normal human being or devoted man. Your eyes might tell you that he/she is a devoted person and love God very much. Thus, he/she is a Christian and whatever he/she said should be true and not distorted. Somehow, some of you, your "guarding system" will be taken away from that person. There goes... False teachings will be filled in your head and if you are lazy, it worsen the whole situation all together.

Secondly, if you are looking at things carefully and not slack in guarding over what God has given to you, you will realised that all those people are false prophets and they are against God. Because you are not looking only with your eyes but you are observing their life and the fruits that they are bearing.

In short, there's only one way, one truth and one place to everlasting life. If you will only trust Jesus, He will save you; your sins, which are many, will all be forgiven; you will be adopted into the family of God, and in due time you will find yourself in heaven and be there for all eternity. (C.H. Spurgeon) Are you on the right path? Are you clinging on to the only TRUTH? Be certain and have the assurance that God words will never fail. Come, come to Jesus.
