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...
hilarious..

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?

Belated Merry Christmas?

*snaps finger* aiyak...just missed midnight..not Christmas liau..anyhow~

Christmas can be everyday one way or another~ It's all about Jesus, hope we have in Him, all for what He has done, so CELEBRATE His greatness everyday n be THANKFUL!! so its tis' the season to be jolly every season~~ wakakakak...presents, iz nice... (compliments of http://icanhascheezburger.com)

been a while since i updated...few days after coming back KK, posting...few days before leaving to KL, posting..hah..funny...

a LOT has been happening during the weeks that i've been here, it has been somewhat LIFE CHANGING..day by day especially for the past two weeks have been MIND BLOWING...to describe it here, it would not be easy, can't find right words, but i would have to talk with you face- to-face, and...you'll have to allocate a pre-e-e-ty long amount of time to listen...so yeah..but it has been an interesting end of the year, and Christmas, as it has always n will always be a season of thanksgiving, love, hope and giving, was an AWESOME time. I've learnt a lot this year, and truly i look forward to 2008 with great expectations and new inspirations.

Coming back to KK around this time of the year has always been exciting but this year around, God has blessed me so abundantly, and I don't mean physically (although He could work on adding some kilos on me...jk God, i know i gotta eat more) or materialistacally (is there such word??) but He has blessed me emotionally and spiritually...this time around i'm so amazed at how the younger generation doing their part for God's kingdom and looking at how much God has done in the lives of the young people, seeing everyone on Christmas Eve celebration, worshipping together, fellowshipping, hanging out with one another, spending time with one another, "breaking bread" at 88..haha, encouraging and discipling one another, learning and obeying together, praying together..reminds me of Acts 2:42-47. It's a great feeling to be in His presence with His people.


hmmm..Yvonne Yapp juz messaged..Happy Boxing Day and realised ohyaoh...not belated Christmas but its actually Boxing day...when i was young i always thought that boxing day was a day where we get to see boxing competitions happening globally....i know...dot dot dot...but anyway..

The celebration is traditional, dating back to the middle ages, and consisted of the practice of giving of gifts to employees, the poor, or to people in a lower social class. The name has numerous folk etymologies[3]; the Oxford English Dictionary attributes it to the Christmas box; the verb box meaning: "To give a Christmas-box (colloq.); whence boxing-day." -wiki-

..hmmm random post addition..doesn't seem to connect...haha..

so..reverse side-tracking..it was reli a blessing to be back in KK, it was like a retreat for me and refreshing, renewing, revitalising, and so much more r-words, and i've receive an impartation from God via His faithful servants and i'm excited to see what's in store for next year even though architecture thingys..yeah..hmm..haha..God is good, all the time...all the time , God is good..


sigh, KL here i come, as usual im gonna miss KK but i definitely am going to look forward and strive to be the very best of who i am for God and live the destiny He has for me.

SUMMARY: a lot has happenned in Dec 2007, God is good, I love Him, He loves you, watcha gonna do about your own life?

p.s. i've got plentiful pictures of events that happenned so that's gonna wait..its in various cameras so yeah...wait...


Merry Christmas!
Jesus is Our Hope!
Happy Boxing Day! XD
