Rayuan Promosi

No...it isn't the Mega Sale. You don't beg for promotion. This 'Rayuan Promosi' is just hilarious. I had been laughing inside me for the past few days. On the way back from KL, I was stopped somewhere in between Teluk Intan and Bidor. For what?! Not for speeding...but for driving on the double line and inside the white-line- marked box. Damn it. The ten wheeler lorry allowed me to pass, so I pass as would any driver. I see no police patrol car, no policemen. So I pecut lah. Then I saw this man in dark blue shirt and pants in the middle of the road holding what seems to be a red flag. I thought his car must have broken down because I saw an MPV by the side of the road. What the!, the patrol car was parked infront of the MPV. IT's a policeman. Ya ya...pulled aside. Wind down my window, pass him the IC and license. One good thing, he didn't ask to be bribed. If he had I would make his life miserable. He told me politely that he would issue a 'one-way-ticket'. What can I do?

Went to the Lumut District Headquarters today. Got there at 0925. Lined up at the wrong counter. Who could see the sign saying 'Pertanyaan' which was placed exactly at the level where one's belly lies. So I had to line up all over again at the next Q. Damn freaking long. The guy infront had 20 summons to pay!!! Almost everyone who heard the policeman telling him that laughed. This particular guy and a monk(ya, he has alot of summons too, the stack of summons can make you a 555note book) took almost an hour to settle their issues. By the time it was my turn my watch was showing 1130, 2 hours of waiting. Thats not the end of the story. I had to wait another half an hour for the receipt to be issued. Thank goodness it's 'Rayuan Promosi' season. ahahah...'Rayuan Promosi'. RM50...after discount. Summon=discount. Hmmmph...

Bayarlah saman anda sempena musim 'Rayuan Promosi' masih sah.

Happy Belated Birthday!

I'm sorry Lydia...I think that was why I couldn't sleep. I forgot to wish you happy birthday...hmmmph. This friend of mine is sometimes like a mother figure to us, not that she is old but she has a very strong inlfuence on us (the group of friends). She is the 'dai ka che' too. She is a wonderful person as a whole. Always at the forefront of almost everything. We share a common interest, make it two. Firstly, we like to talk about thigns concerning the spiritual. It is always very uplifting to talk to her. It encourages me to continue to discover who God is and what is His plans for me. Secondly, FOOD, enough said about this. A wonderful friend..I dedicate this column to wishing you a...

HaPPy BiRthdAy...May the good Lord prosper the works of your
hands while He bless those around you. As you grow, you grow deeper in love with Jesus...

I can't sleep

I can't sleep...I rub my eyes and they feel abit swollen but I still can't sleep. The air-conditioning is on, full blast but I still feel warm. NO. It is hot. My sis 'inherited' my room. My room which is big and comfy. Which has 2 queen-size beds. Dunno why but they are there. I like big beds. Not what i sleep on now. Single bed. Too small. One nostril is block and it is irritating. I can't sleep but I really want to sleep. Tomorrow is a long day. My car needs to see a doctor. I think it is quite sick and is in need of a check up and servicing. The problematic proud Malaysian made car. What the heck, I still need to sleep...would a cup of milk help? I wonder...

What do you when you can't sleep?

Multiplication Party

This is a first in the cell. There will be more of such parties. A time where we say goodbye. A time where we say welcome. As we say goodbye and wish them all the best we also welcome our guests. What a night to remember. There was seriousness in fun and fun in seriousness. The people involved are very much appreciated. All the hard work they have invested will soon reap a bountiful harvest. The Lord is good. He will bless those who come. It is my hope that they will sense and experience the unfailling love of the Saviour. Hoping for the impossible to become a living testimony. Thanx for the good food. The desserts were great, the 'pau' I missed. The fellowship I treasure. The friendships I preserve. Know the Lord, He is wonderful...

Commonwealth and MAD CG, a new chapter unfolds...

Taking this opportunity to wish all my MAD CG friends all the very best in the upcoming exams and the 3 more assignments. Pray that God will lengthen the time to study, complete the assignments and to rest. Great to have you all as friends...without doubt, these friendships last a life time. Take care-Audrey, Jyh Shyn, Andrea, Leng Cheng, Johnny, Ting Ting, Priya and the many others in the premier cyber city in "tanah air".

Apologies

My sincere apology to those who didn't have the chance to attend the supprise birthday bash. Please don't feel dejected. I cannot give excuses for not inviting all my friends for if I do so I would be using it as a cover to get away. If I could, I would invite everybody, that I say sincerely. Nonetheless, all your wishes are much appreciated. Thank you for your friendships...God bless

Birthday to Remember

What a day? I didn't such a surprise at Lydia's house. My motive to go there was to celebrate her birthday. Her birthday! It was such a conspiracy...ahaahh... she had it all planned out. Thank goodness I went. If not I'll wouldn't have experience such joy and excitement. Perhaps I would have regreted it for a long time. I was fed well. I had a good time chatting away, laughing and consuming the food. The cake was spot on. Delicious to the core. The cheese was what I meant. The blueberrry is just awesome. What a pleasant surprise my dear friends...this is a night to remember. Thanx peeps! you know who you are...love you guys lots!

Doctor said...

It is a boil...nothing serious as it doesn't even require intervention. It will probably go away in 3 days according to the doctor. I have to go back to him after 3 days for a follow up. Well, I'm thinking that maybe there isn't a need for a follow up as it isn't serious. That's all for my condition. So thanks to a boil in my left, I felt like I'm gonna die...ahahah...

Fatigue

I'm so tired...so so tired physically...drained so dry by the demands of tertiary education...the culprit is actually HRM...the expectations are so high and it is just to demanding...just got my assignment handed in today...I'm really lack of sleep...serious case...falling sick...can feel it...left ear is infected, dunno with what? but the inner part is swollen and there are some dried plasma...darn...my scalp is becoming very sensitive to touch...my head aches all of a sudden, sharp pain but not like the usual migraine...throat a little sore...left nostril is a little swollen...irritation...body feeling like it's going to experience fever soon...bind that in Jesus name...claim good health...I'm stopping all efforts to do assignments and studies tonight..just really need a good night's sleep...I'm going to bed very early tonight....must also break the habit of sleeping late...

Revival Fire Consuming Malaysia

Is there already a revival brewing in the midst of us being too comfortable with the abundant blessings that we as the Church enjoy? I'm talking about revival amongst one of the most impossible to reach group by human measures. Is it possible that revival is happening? While our faith may be so shalow, God must not be underestimated. I've seen with my own eyes back in 1996 a poster with statistics showing an increasing number of people being saved. While we are in our slumber and in the state of "Oh ye of little faith", The Holy Spirit is already at work. Today we see, not many realise this, many people are turning to Christ after years of searching in vain. After all if we search and pray sincerely, God will listen. I believe they prayed sincerely but not knowing who is listening. Thank God, He was listening. My friends, if you are reading this, I urge you to buck up, same goes to me, and be prepared and be faithful to God's calling for your life. You'll never know what He will entrust you with...Are you ready to fulfill the Great Commision? Persecution...inevitable

Regional Aerospace Centre

KUALA LUMPUR, Wed. - It would be a historic event in the midst of the government's bid to transform Malaysia into a developed nation. The Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Dr. Jamaluddin Jarjis will witness the signing of a memorandum of agreement between
Akriz Sdn Bhd and the Perak State Economic Development Corporation here today. The project is to cost RM100 million. It is expected to complete and "go live in the fourth quarter of 2007".

The Perak state government has set aside 13ha of land in Pengkalan Bharu Industrial Zone, near to the Lumut Naval Base. Along side this project, the Malaysian Defence University would also be built in Segari. All of which are in the vicinity of the Manjung district. This would be a catalyst to the growth in the Manjung district. The Regional Aerospace Centre would also provide services in the following sectors; agriculture, military, marine, mining, security, and oil and gas industries.

Haha...how about my skills in writing in a newspapers report format. I was reading TheEdge business newspaper and came across this very informative and interesting article. A little intro to Pengkalan Bharu. It is a fishing village with majority population consisting of Malays. The nearest towns are Pantai Remis, Sitiawan and Taiping. Near this place is a coal powerplant and a natural gas powerplant. There is also a turtle hatchery in Segari, just beside the natural gas powerplant. This project costing RM100 million will certainly benefit many people in the vicinity. It is a good move to share this delicious pie with the locals. At least from my point of view, this would open the door for more FDIs. In view of the blessings that it brings, curse may tag along. I say this because if the investors are only interested in making money, then exploitation may occur. Pray for well planned growth and blessings from The Almighty.

Malas

Aku sangat malas akhir-akhir ini. Begitu malas sehingga aku tidak ingin menaip menggunakan bahasa inggeris. Apa dah jadi pada aku? Entah lah...Mungkin aku terlalu letih secara fizikal atau aku memang malas. Sekali pandang, memang semua manusia malas tetapi pada tahap yang berbeza. Malas ini dosa. Aku tahu, aku teringin hendak menebus dosa ini dengan berkerja keras dan meminta ampun daripada Yesus Kristus. Semoga Roh Kudus membantu aku menjadi seorang yang tekun dan berdisiplin. Alangkah baiknya jika tenaga yang kita miliki tidak kehabisan. Alangkah baiknya jika kita mempunyai kuasa yang ajaib. Tunggu sebentar, kita sudah dikurniakan kuasa ajaib yang disebutkan. Siapa pemberi kuasa ini? Siapa lagi jika bukan Bapa Tuhan di-Syurga. Aku berasa aku diberkati dengan berkat yang tak terbilang oleh Bapa Tuhan. Sungguh baik sekali Tuhan walaupun aku berdosa selama ini. Walaupun aku dicemari dosa yang tak terbilang, Bapa Tuhan masih menyayangi aku tanpa sebarang syarat. Kita harus membalas kasih sayang yang dicurahkan tanpa was-was. Semoga Tuhan memberkati anda semua.

Terima Kasih kerana membaca blog aku...

Psalm 116

1 I love the Lord, because He has heard My voice and my supplications. 2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live. 3 The pains of death surrounded me, And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow. 4 Then I called upon the name of the Lord: "O Lord, I implore You, deliver my soul!" 5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful. 6 The Lord preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me. 7 Return to your rest, O my soul, For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. 8 For You have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from falling. 9 I will walk before the Lord In the land of the living.

10 I believed, therefore I spoke, "I am greatly afflicted." 11 I said in my haste, "All men are liars." 12 What shall I render to the Lord For all His benefits toward me? 13 I will take up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the Lord. 14 I will pay my vows to the Lord Now in the presence of all His people. 15 Precious in the sight of the Lord Is the death of His saints. 16 O Lord, truly I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have loosed my bonds. 17 I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of the Lord. 18 I will pay my vows to the Lord Now in the presence of all His people, 19 In the courts of the Lord's house, In the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!

The Lord spoke to me through this passage of the Bible. So powerful and meaningful to me. I'm a servant. His servant.

A Dream

A dream, that is how it all started. A dream births forth a vision. The vision sets the goal. The goal charts the plans. The plans ultimately initiates an action. What is this dream? Why do you dream such a dream? Who gave you this dream?

There is a place not far from where we are awaits our arrival. A place bustling with commercial activities. A place known to many yet unknown to some. A place known for its produce. A household name. Soon that place is going to be holy ground. It awaits our arrival.

Saying it cost a fortune is an understatement. Our thoughts and words uttered reflect our faith and believe. How much does it cost? Our lives? Our time? Our wealth? Our all? Can we out-give what was given to us? It is not for us to mention be proud of the amount.

A dream that has birth forth a vision that sets the goal. The plans have been charted. The initial action taken. A dream becoming a reality. A DreamCentre initiated by a dream. Just a dream...

Tears...

"The Bible was written in tears, and to tears it yields its best treasures."

A.W. Tozer

The book that contains the Word of God.
These Words are the most powerful.
They are alive.
They are like air rising from the pages.
Yet, having the weight.
Its presence fills the atmosphere.
Consuming all unholiness.
Nailing it to the cross.
Bringing it to the grave.
Risen, leaving all that is behind.
Victorious

Hate

Really really hate sin...sometimes I ask why must sin even exist? Guys and girls of all ages and all walks of life sin. We are victors but we still sin. What a contradiction? I may sound like I'm very confused, but I'm not. I'm just very sick and tired of commiting sins. But I really thank God for setting the standard so high. Sometimes I feel like rapturing myself so that I don't sin anymore but it's a foolish thought. Our thoughts and ways are foolish, God's ways and thoughts are perfect. I wonder does He even need to think? Hahah...I think the answer comes before He could think.

Sin is so so bad and corrupting that it will kill us. Drag us to the fiery lakes of hell. We have to be open and be accountable to someone in order to minimise the frequency to sin and ultimately stop it. I'm talking about habitual sin. No matter how frequent one does it, as long as it is repeated acouple of times over a period of time-it is habitual. There must be a better way to stop it. I always seek to find the best way. My search is in vain. Maybe I've not been attentive to what God has to say. I do my quiet time almost every morning. Rarely miss it. Yet I think the level of commitment is inadequet. My goal is to know Jesus and to be like Jesus. I must discipline myself to read God's word and pray everyday-doing it with maximum commitment. I sinned last night. What about you? Are you going to let sin corrupt you?

7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. 12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. 18 And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.

ROMAN 6:7-18

Humbled...

I'm so drained whenever I share about God with this particular guy. This is the perspective of a human...limited by physical boundaries. I know that God is with me whenever I share with anyone. Especially this guy at this time. He is a precious precious brother in Christ. A young believer, who is discovering who this awesome God is and what is the purpose of living. I feel really upbeat about sharing with Him. God has given me this task, a real challenge. I used to be like him where money seems like everything, the only thing I must work for. It clouded my mine and hardened my heart.

Sharing with him seems like revisiting my past and seeing how people who came my way have done the same. People like Sieh Jin have always been there to guide me and reminded me of how much more important God is and why He should take the only seat in my heart. In the same measure I want my friend to know about this. I'm humbled when I share with him about God and all that is about living a Chritstian life. Pray that he will find the purpose of living.
