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?
