Happy birthday joker!

See that joker in the middle; it's his birthday today. HAHA. This is one of my fav family pics. Just simply because we all look normal. Dad's not looking at the camera. Joker and i just doing what we do best, smile!!! Mum and Sis just looking sweet and pretty :)

I wonder whether is my bed still there. HAHA.

Do take the time to have a look at this

23 Korean missionaries were captured by the Taliban last week. 2 of them have already been killed.



They went because they believed strongly in Something.

Aku masih cinta Negaraku

This is freaking scary wei...i just got an sms from home and the person used the word 'angin'. For those who do not know, it's wind in malay. The worse part was that i stared at it for a good 30 seconds trying to figure out what it was. I have forgotten my only other language that i speak. Ahhhhh....i thought it was 'angina' or something and was trying to figure out what was she saying that had to do with angina. hahahahhahahaha

I'm a freaking virus

If you by chance come across and see this post, pls be informed that my laptop has some crazy ass virus that sends out random comments via msn asking you to check a pic out or saying that you're ugly or something ( which i dont think you are, haha..we are all beautifully and wonderfully made in the LORD, so you're beautiful!!). Don't receive any files that my 'virus' sends you. I need to go find out how to kill my new pet, 'the virus'. LOL

Aaaaahhhhhhhh.....

Satisfaction. One of the many things i thank God for. Went to Kowloon Cafe with some of the machas and machis from OCF and had 'tai-chau' aka rice with dishes for the first time in Adelaide (if my memory serves me right). LOL. I am that forgetful but nevertheless, it was just so delicious. It really brought memories back, i used to go with 2 jokers from pj and bu trying out 'tai-chau' restaurants all over PJ adn Klang. What fun we would have, eating like so much rice coz we can't afford so many dishes and then drinking up all the gravy with our rice coz it was just too good to be left there. Sometimes when we were feeling a bit richer, we would order extra dishes and of course, overeat. We would then seat around like old uncles with our now-a-bit-tight pants and pat our satisfied tummies drinking 'sheewt-cha'.

But what i really missed was the bond that we had, the ability to pour out our heart's desires to one another and helping one another. A sense of accountability. We helped build each other up and for that I am so grateful for them. I'm just a tad bit sad cause the last time we ate together, it was during a tough period for one of us. I'm here in Adelaide, one's US-bound, another's returning soon to M'sia after a stint in the UK. I wonder what He holds for each and everyone of us. I can't help but wonder at times.

Would you believe it? I am such a terrible fella, can't find my old pics, guessed they're still in the computer at home. Sigh

Have you ever felt out of place before? That we do not belong. Well, i sometimes have that feeling. It's like you come here to a new place to study and sometimes, no matter how hard you try to fit in, you just can't. Then after couple of years you're here or when you return home for holidays, it's like you also suddenly find yourself not being able to fit in with your old bunch of friends. I call it the curse of studying overseas, haha. But really, i guess it may affect us in one way or another, we can return home and feel out of place coz we've already adjusted to life here but you can also don't feel at home here.

So i asked myself, at the end of the day, what is home? then it hit me. We were all created for His glory. We don't belong here. We belong to somewhere Special. That is our Home. The day when we can finally say, "we're home" and breathe a sigh of relief is the day when we find ourselves wrapped in His arms in Heaven. We would then definitely feel at home. No more questions, no more crying and pain, no more suffering, no more...

Matthew 25:13 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

Are you ready?Man, all this from taking one shower. Joker man.

Spring's coming!!!!!!!!!

I feel alive today!!!!hahaha. Played imaginary Aussie footie (minus the rough tackling of course, don't want to lose more of my precious ligaments, haha) and ran like a monkey, the last time i ran like that was just before i had my injury. Saw some pretty flowers blooming and after a very long time, wore only a t-shirt outside. Bliss..Spring's coming!! and i'm reminded yet again what a Creative God we have. Thank You.

The difference between us righties and them lefties

I was drinking water one day at home and i noticed something, when Dan (my housemate) who's a leftie boils water, the kettle's position would be as above. But when i boil water (i'm a rightie), the kettle would be positioned like below.

HAHA. How cool is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, i am fascinated by small little things like this.

Someone turned 20!!!haha

Not him la!haha

"oh, how i wish we were 10 years younger and i would be taller than him, " she dreams. HAHA

Thumbs up for the cake! even i say its good. really really good. Haha. SIRIM approved.
More thumbs up for the microwave oven that made the cake even better.Lol. And i was figuring out.."how come i press the microwave but still not on?" She says, "You got put the plug in or not?"....dushhhhh...bodohnya aku

We forgotten what we were there for...haha.

Isaiah 40:31 Dependent on God's presence

There is no thrill for us in walking, yet it is the test for all of our steady and enduring qualities. To 'walk and not faint' is the highest stretch possible as a measure of strength. The word walk is used in the Bibleto express the characther of a person - "..John..looking at Jesus as He walked. . . said, 'Behold the Lamb of God!' " (John 1:35-36). There is nothing abstract or obscure in the Bible; everything is vivid and real. God does not say, "Be spiritual," but He says, "Walk before Me..." (Genesis 17:1)
When we are in an unhealthy condition either physically or emotionally, we always look for thrills in life. In our physical life this leads to our efforts to counterfeit the work of the Holy Spirit; in our emotional life it leads to obsessions and to the destruction of our morality; and in our spiritual life, if we insist on pursuing only thrills, on mounting up "with wings like eagle" (Isaiah 40:31), it will result in the destruction of our spirituality.
Having the reality of God's presence is not dependent on our being in a particular circumstance of place, but is only dependent on our determination to keep the Lord before us continually. Our problems arise when we refuse to place our trust in the reality of His presence. The experience the psalmist speaks of- "We will not fear, eventhough..." (Psalm 46:2)-will be ours once we are grounded on the truth of the reality of God's presence, not just a simple awareness of it, but an understanding of the reality of it. Then we will exclaim, " He has been here all the time!" At critical moments in our lives it is necessary to ask God for guidance, but it should be unnecessary to be constantly saying, "Oh, Lord, direct me in this, and in that." Of course He will, and in fact, He is doing it already! If our everyday decisions are not according to His will, He will press through them, bringing restraint to our spirit. Then we must be quiet and wait for the direction of His presence.
excerpt from My Utmost for His Highest by Ostwald Chambers

Word of God speak

Another reason we worship a risen Saviour. The devotion passage that i read this morning was taken from Matthew 7:11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!


I just noticed the exclaimation mark. I guess Matthew really wanted to stress this point that we as His children have this hope. We can rest assured that nothing happens without Him knowing and we all know that we can have confidence in God because of what it says in Romans 8:28.

Why? (Part 2)

Why can't i share the same joy with my family back home? Why? and i have been crying ever more so often now. Why?

Why?

Yes, i cut my hair. HAHA. I really wanted to keep my hair long but mum made me cut it so yeah, hair cut! it's so crappy, everytime the wind blows, i feel so cold 'on top'.
Both of the picture above combined to give you this. LOL.

On a different note, i'm just being very emotional as always. Everytime i take a step and walk, i ask God Why? My desire to play football again seems to be the only thing that gives me hope.

But now it seems to be more distant. I get knee pains ever more so often now.

Why?

Wow!

Just came back into Adelaide aka the land i call my second home and i thought i started sharing a wee bit of what has been going on the past week. I managed to go for one of the sessions during the Hillsong Conference which was in the ACER Arena, next to Telstra Stadium in Sydney and it was aaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzzzzzziiiinnnnnngggggggggg.
(I cannot stop wondering whether was there any purpose in me going to Sydney on such a short notice, maybe it was for this reason? But even if it wasn't, i feel so blessed to have been given an opportunity to go for it)

To be in a room with 25,000 brothers and sisters in Christ and another thousand outside the stadium. Mind-blowing man!!!!!!! I wanted to take a picture just to show the enormity of it but i forgotten all about it until i left the place. When i got into the stadium, i stood there speechless at least for a good 30sec with my mouth literally opened.

Hebrews 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

Many times, i have been shared with that particular verse and be encouraged by it but never have i experienced such an eye-opening experience of this magnitude.WOW.

Decisions

I'm known to be one who normally thinks a WHOLE LOT before making any decision. But this just came in, decided to go to Sydney in like 10 minutes. Going down to Sydney for a couple of days. Ah Kong who's in Sydney isn't feeling too well and i want to go see him coz he also came here to see me but now he can't. Lets see whats going to happen. Pray that He will have His way. Another opportunity for the Gospel to be shared?I just pray and hope that i am moving in accordance to His will. Ultimately, we are only mere 'instruments' to be used by the Creator.

Just some pics. . .

Just some pictures to keep you entertain.

On that lonely bus ride to the airport to pick mum up.

The aeroplane that she came in with.

We searhed high and low for the 'faculty' sign board to get a pic. Little did i know that it was just on the 4th or 5th floor of the Playford building.

Mum prepared dinner for the jokers with me 'helping'.

We being the jokers we are, went to the beach in winter and froze ourselves up.LOL

We being the typical jokers again, stole lemons from Someone's lemon tree..haha (she wasn't in)
We saw the loveliest rainbow.

and then promoted child labor. Haha.
I am thankful.
