My car

This is just a random post since i woke up early to do some assignment and was feeling kinda free...the picture is not my car but same type...a 6-year old maroon proton wira 1.5 with sports rims and skirting and all....but the reason i post this is because.....

I'VE HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH THIS CAR!!!!!

one fine day... (in chronological order)
1. aircon rosak
2. indoor light rosak
3. scratch front left bumper against parking corner
4. front right tire pancit
5. kena accident, front right indicator and light rosak with scratch and dent by the front right side
6. left back tire pancit
7. rear view mirror broke
8. left back tire pancit again
9. scratch back right door badly against another parking corner

sigh....anyhow they've all been fixed except no.9 as it was quite recent...

Despite all this trouble, many of my friends were helpful to lend a hand in dealing with all this car trouble and i'm thankful even though had to rebuke some who were saying have to 'mandi bunga' to get rid of bad luck. I thank God i've been kept safe as i know truly that driving in KL is no easy matter~

"Keep me safe O God, for in you I take refuge" Psalms 16:1

Drive safely, think of your loved ones (government should pay me for helping to promote)

hmm...just realised...good time to do devotion..*whispers* roommates all still sleeping =)

"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
John 15:13

This week has been hectic with tonnes of assignments suddenly piled up (last minute work; never...never do last minute work) but yet just realized that it's Good Friday this weekend. How wonderful and great it is to feel for what God has done for humanity. His brilliant plan that He thought of when he began creation. Unfortunately many fail to realize this and look to the 'world' for their spiritual hunger rather than looking to God. NOW is the time. No other time like this can be so perfect to share what Christ has done. It definitely is difficult BUT all things are possible through Christ who strengthens us. It's His desire to see people come to Him, to want that relationship with Him. I've come across people who actually know how great and loving God is but yet refuse Him and the eternal gift He has given. Fast and pray. God is moving and I definitely wanna be part of what He plans to do for Malaysia. Gotta gear up!! The life that Jesus offers, through his sacrificial act and resurrection, we are saved and made new again to live an abundant amazing life with Him. Don't miss it out. He LOVES YOU!

finally found this video, this is the love story of Christ for you and me.

Passion †

random photo of string from pan mien ta pau plastic, it was shaped like a heart by itself. cool coinceidence? not.

It has been an exciting week, Ps Pat Mesiti was around to speak in CHC for a 4 day conference, starting off he talked about PASSION. As he talked on about being passionate, ranging from businessmen whom intensely seek knowledge about their field to workers on the street sweeping with all their might, Ps Pat words definitely comes from God. Over the course of the month, people around me and my lecturers resonate what Ps. Pat were saying. Mentors and role models of my life have reminded me about having that first love, having that pure intense passion for God. My lecturer's have been talking about being passionate in what we do, loving it, and going all out. Ps. Pat words sums it all up, being passionate for Christ together in what we do; having the same PASSION like Christ had.

Taking a step back, I do think about the future, doing architecture, sigh. Is that what i'm really gonna do? 30-40 yrs down the road, drawing, drawing, thinking, thinking, discussing, getting white hair, lots of white hair, till no more hair? No doubt it's gonna be tough, but when you're passionate, that changes, YOU'LL LOVE WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO YOUR FULLEST CAPACITY AND YOU WILL DO IT TO YOUR FULL POTENTIAL. problem is, I'm not so passionate with what i currently do, but i trust God with the plans i have with Him.

This song came into mind as i was writing: Till I see You, Hillsong

The greatest love that anyone could ever know
That overcame the cross and grave to find my soul
And 'til I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in You

With all I am I'll live to see Your kingdom come
And in my heart I pray You'd let Your will be done
And 'til I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in You

I will live to love You
I will live to bring You praise
I will live a child in awe of You

You are the voice that calls the universe to be
You are the whisper in my heart that speaks to me
And 'til I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in you

You alone are God of all
You alone are worthy Lord
And with all I am my soul will bless Your name

Spiritually am i PASSIONATE? weird la asking myself, but honestly it's currently no, i seem to be 'lukewarm' rather than 'hot'. Apparently, God will 'spit' me out if I don't heat up. I recalled back in 2003 when my life was so saturated with love for God, I actually shared with a taxi driver and encouraged him to go to church, just like that, a random taxi driver (although it must have been God divinely intervening to give the uncle a chance to hear the gospel). But still, that was PASSION. Nowadays, i find it quite difficult to even mention Jesus name amongst my friends but occasionally I get pumped up and share openly but to a limit only. Simply put, my passion for Christ isn't as large as it used to be, and that as I am pretty aware of needs building up indefinitely. So do remember me if u do pray. I really need to spark up my spiritual life.

When i was searching for some word of encouragement from the Bible about passion, i realise that i could only find mostly compassion, the Bible says a lot about God having compassion for people, CHC mission statement is:

"Loving God with Passion, Loving people with Compassion"

Being passionate for God, still you have to have compassion for people around, and above it all, love. (1 Corinthians 13:13) When you wanna be passionate for Christ, show it out of love for God by loving people. =) sometimes loving ain't easy but we were created in God's image, so love we can and shall.

Show me how to live

Teach me how to pray

Let all I think and say please You Lord

Show me how to live

Teach me in Your ways

So I can walk with You all my days

Weekend~~~

NICE MOVIE...i'll give a rating of 8/10...would've been 7 had it not taken details on pyramid...hehe^^ (pyramids originally are glistening not the old worn down that u see in egypt today)

overall i think it's an interesting movie and really enjoyable, glues your eyes to the screen...no spoilers here for ppl wanting to watch it...but in a way it reminded me the story of Christ, being chosen, ordinary but became extraordinary, like the Father, redeeming His people, all nations, fulfilling the prophecy...all good..good movie..watch it...

__________________________________________________________

Elections!!!

was never bothered with politics till met Emmanuel (gonna be a datuk one day..must vote him if he runs!) his interest in politics sparked mine too although i cant always keep updated on it i do occasionally see wat's happening...

another fella, Calvin oso stirred my thoughts on our current goverment and the issues involved, can't write much about this, nanti kena 'saman' then gotta go court so yea...those of u talking bout politics oso be very careful on wat u write...

like America, could be time for change like we see Barrack Obama vs Hillary Clinton, Huckabee vs McCain...new candidates in aspects of race, gender, age, regardless they offer CHANGE. like our nation, sometimes people vote without proper thinking or fore-knowledge or who they're voting for...important to know from wat i heard form Calvin, also, it seems like it's about time M'sia saw something different for the country, some changes perhaps...i dunno, M'sia seems discreet on politics...corruption also loams at large despite crackdowns...would be nice to see things being run differently...maybe

who knows wat the future holds...as a Christian, me and many others too i guess would be praying for the nation as we undergo a political war...pray n fast...our nation will be shaken!

p.s: in conjunction with elections...took this from cyrus's blog...

Ps. Pat Mesiti's back! this man of God is a really powerful preacher who can really speak sharp into your soul and change your heart. Those of u in KL come come! Besides being short and funny, his words are strong and bold. Your life would never be the same~

Reminders

This post is mainly about in these recent weeks, how God has reminded me about plentiful of stuff...

wahahaha...FINALLY!! i hav ONE DAY OFF!!! AFTER TWO MONTHS...ONE DAY IS FREE!!! NO NEED TO THINK OF ASSIGNMENTS...FOR ONE DAY...only....*sniff* its so beautiful...

cut-intro, ok..exagerate but still...ok..updates, last last week went to taiping,perak for class trip for our latest project, designing a community centre..

In between the shophouse and cafe where the trees are..that's the site...indeed as the name suggests the place is peaceful...with every muscle, living tissue and nerves that God above gave me, i made effort to wake up at 7am (west msia 7am still dark..not like kk..) to look around the town....waking up dat early when the atmosphere is still cool was really a great experience, can understand why Jesus woke up early to pray...before leaving the hotel where we stayed, i hanged around outside the hotel entrance and just spent some time in prayer and it was so refreshing to just soak in God's presence...somewhere within walking distance is a chinese methodist church ( 4got to take picture)...however walking further towards bukit larut there's a reli reli RELI old anglican church (pic below) which still holds worship celebrations 2 this day. if im not mistaken it was built in 1881 or 1891..

early in the morning saw an old man buying groceries who went and buy a bouquet of flowers, in my mind had a picture of him going home and giving it to his wife or daughter, reminded me of God's amazing love =) His neverending love-despite our weakness, He chose to love us unconditionally, that's how great our God is...

erm..wat else...char keu tiau there was nice...so was McD...ohya..CENDOL a must to eat there...below is a hokkien chinese shophouse, here the resident, an aunty used to work in sabah wif her husband...

Heritage...God Himself passed on His heritage to His people (John 1:12), struck me to think am i a living heritage of Christ? not easy but i try to live my life being good always but it goes further than that, to live a Christ-filled life, that's tough and takes time and im working on it...

This was the cafe at the site, ate with the gang, upclose here is penang fish head curry laksa!! yummy it was...note:carlsberg was crispy (dun worry was neither drunk physically or drunk in the Spirit at that moment) but spending time wif these frens, Sireesak, Cheng Chee, Shen, Pearly, Amanda, God always speaks to my heart to reach out to them, various times i've tried to invite them to church but again, God reminded me, we are the church. Show them wat it means to be a disciple of Christ, i love these people wif all my heart and my heartcry is that they'll be secured of their salvation (1 n half year 2 go..pls pray alongside wif me)

spent 3 days in taiping and then we left for cameron highlands (strawberries! yeah!...haha kim ku dun fret) we went there for recreational purposes only...cause my batch was the only batch that hadnt visited it yet...journey reminded me of kundasang...mountains and cool air...haha...ohya 4got to mention throughout the journey in taping to cameron and back to KL was reading Jaeson Ma's Blueprint and finished it...will come back to that later...anyway, throughout the journey to cameron seeing the mountains n all, flashbacks of memorable times in kundasang came in and it was reli nice to look back in the old times but i know that that has passed and i had to strive to push on n work on my spiritual ground much more to achieve wat i hav in mind..(will come to this later too)

This is strawberry honey roti canai...delicious!!! >=)

Below is the Boh Tea Gallery, really nice architecture so decided to put it in. Part of our visitation to cameron

we stayed in an catholic hostel and it was interesting to see my Malay frens respond to pictures of Jesus, verses from the Bible...wat was more interesting when it was night (there was a nice night sky of stars but i no SLR...so no nice picture) at night in the guys dorm, the usual, they chatted about ghosts and supernatural stuff, many of them were terrifying and a lot of my frens couldn't sleep and insisted on leaving the lights on, but i remembered that God has given us a helper non other than the Holy Spirit, greater is He in us than the one in the world (1 John 4:4) also we don't need to be afraid of these things but claim authority in Christ (2 Tim 1:7) which im still learning how to do, considering the fact that there are so many supernatural "incidents" on campus...

playing around with warm air coming out of mouth, equipped with an SLR, fren couldnt capture itthe hostel...^^

whenever you go to the mountains, U MUST EAT GOOD HOT FOOD! steamboat at 3000 plus metres above sea level...yummy! spent most of the time eating n fellowhipping with gang (guys only) being able to share more, we made a pact to invite one another if we get married, promised ourselves too to come back here one day to recall the 'old days' once again, God reminds me im in my current uni for a purpose for a reason and im clear of the reason, jus still struggling to step out the comfort zone and live by faith to trust God that when i do so, He'll show me how He can use me...sigh...pray pray pray...

up in the mountains is always a good place to pray, woke up early but couldnt go out coz doors were still locked but i did manage 2 enjoy early morning walks around there.

journey ended with sour faces knowing we're going back uni, 2 reality, 2 assignments....sigh...but it was really a good refreshing experience compared to my previous class trips...spiritually this trip i've been blessed, reading Blueprint God strengthen the desire in my heart to do something on campus, to be someone on campus, i believe it can happen BUT it takes planning and im preparing myself for so...God has marvelous plans for us, it all comes down to our choice. i've decided but i still struggle to gain what was lost, the first love i had for Christ, that ultimate passion that would push YOU to go beyond your expectations, beyond your capabilities, beyond what you can imagine yourself to do, actions and thoughts that only God alone could be working through you..this year's WORD that God gave me at the beginning of the year was: WISDOM (Pro 24:13-14) and im praying that that would be what i can achieve, to be spiritually more mature(wise) and for that i have to be spiritually rooted strongly in Christ, not just rooted but STRONGER.

Many REMINDERS God has given, it's time to RESPOND.

Revival, Reformation, Revolution.

Are you ready?
