Holidays so far!!!!

Hi everyone, it sure has been a long while since I was here... hmm, how long by the way? A WHOLE semester. That's LONG!!! Well, I sure needed the time to make some inner changes and carry out lots of things during the last semester. In the end, I can say it all paid out 'cause I had quite enough time doing all the stuffs that I had to do. Enough of that already, let's have a look at how my holidays went for me. Firstly, the exams last semester were quite stressful 'cause I ended up studying close to "last minute" and so I ended up quite stressed up afterwards. So, when the holidays came, I had to relieve myself of all those stress and so, I decided to visit melaka for a couple of days. To say that my stay there was great is an understatement!! It was refreshing and lovely meeting up with friends and fellowshipping with them in various activities and events. Funny though, I ended up parting with some movies of mine but I guess it was worth it in the end. :P After my trip to melaka, I came back to Cyberjaya and moved over(temporarily) to Noah house(mission house) and stayed with my shepherd and other church members. I would say that I sure have also had a wonderful time fellowshipping with them and it's been great getting to know them to this extent. By the way, the reason I couldn't stay back in melaka and join church brethren for the camp was 'cause I had trainings for upcoming MNC this december. About the trainings, I'll say it's been great 'cause we've made tremendous progress and we seem to be having fun as we perform(excluding the fact that it's been tiring). There's still more practices to come and I can only hope for God's strength to press on. Other random happenings would be me hanging out with my friend Henry to watch Arsenal & Liverpool play last weekend at Old Town. Well, our teams ended up winning their respective matches and losing also this week. What an irony!!! Well, that's all for now. Do stay tuned for more updates. Cheers!!!

Glimpses of happiness

*coughs*.... It sure has been quite a while(as I informed before-hand) that I wouldn't update my blog in the coming days. It's exam period and funny that I can even spare the time to update it after so long... hehe. Well, it seems there are a lot of calamities and chaos in the world today, like the cyclone disaster in Myammar and other natural disasters that occured in other nations. It's heart-breaking to know that countless innocent people lost their lives in these recent tragedies and the mortality toll increases everyday. Had I not known better, I would have had a cause to question God for letting all these mishaps to occur but when we look through the scriptures, we clearly see His gracious love to us by fortelling of such tragedies as we draw near to the "End Times". It's also saddening to me whenever I come to know that my friends are going through tough times, which atimes tests their faith in God. I can only encourage them to keep on fighting a good fight and remain rapturable. I guess there's a lot that would take place in melaka and so, there is the need of good character moulding and reassurance of faith in God at ALL times. I'll be sure to keep you all in prayers then. Any other thing that's of note is that I'll be going home for holidays hopefully and will not been online during most of the days in the coming holidays. Reason?? I sure have a lot of acquaintances to make, friends & family relatives to visit and lots of places to visit. Hope to update my blog before going for the trip. Until then, au revoir and Godspeed!!

Seasons of the year......

Hmm, it sure feels somehow coming back here(especially after I told someone I wouldn't go online for a while).. well, it still feels nice having a medium of expressing one's thoughts, feelings and inspirations to those who care to read through... hehe. Well, the weeks passed and so did my holidays. Funny that I didn't really do anything special or have a swell time as I hoped.. but I sure enjoyed te endless CHESS games throughout the duration of my hols. It's surprising that I kinda picked up the enthusiasm for the game after being meticulously disected in some chess games I played with friends. So far, I've improved in my openings but still have loads of knowledge about developing pieces and end-game strategies. To help boost my knowledge base in chess, I took a co-curriculum on it this semester. It has somewhat paid off but I'm still developing mostly on my own. I fear that I might be too addicted to it as some of my mates are already assuming.... I'll greet them and immediately say" Wanna play one chess game?" It's become a daily routine for me to either paly chess games or revise some games. One day, I hope to reach the level of an International Grandmaster...but it sure is a long way to go anyway. Well, my studies are going quite well and things seem to be moving quite fast if I must point out here. I'm drawing closer to project deadlines, assignments and so on. I just remebered that I have a crucial project meeting tomorrow. Catch you all later then!!!

Beauty of the Sunsets

Ever been to the beachside when it's almost sunset? Felt the cool breeze moving around you, cuddling you like an infant? And your toes feel gritty from the brittle sand and sea shells? Well, I for one have experienced all these. But more importantly, I was privileged to admire the beauty of the sunset at a beachside in Miri. Here's a picture:

It's also relevant for us to know that there is a remarkable resemblance between the nature of sunsets and the life experiences we face each day of our lives. At times, we come across very difficult times, trials, challenges which bear down heavily on us as though they were going to crush us. Some gave up, some are still left in the imbalance, but a few triumped over them all. I'll bet that you're wondering how they succeeded.... I'll be explaining that in a moment.

*coughs* Well, they applied a strong virtue: FAITH. Most of you would be thinking: faith in friends, your abilities, luck and so on. But, I'm referring to faith in God. We tend to forget about how merciful and gracious He's been to us all, until we face such trivial circumstances. I want to solemnly urge you all to remain faithful and righteous in all we do... faithful even in little things... you all know what I mean.

Here's a scripture I got that precisely emphasised on the nature and moral of sunsets....

Through the LORD's mercies, we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness

.(Lam3:22-23)

In all, I'll admonish you all not to give up despite the challenges you all face(including me as well).. Keep the flag flying and the fire within us burning for Christ. Shalom!!

Lots of things to be happy about

Hi everyone, it has always been awhile for me to update my blog. Dunno why but I guess it's'cause I've been busy lately and so, felt uninterested to do so. Anyway, lots of events took place over the past days while there are some upcoming ones. I got to know that the Malaccans had a bible conference @ Hope JB and from accounts by some of them, it was great. I also have been there, so I can completely agree with them on this one. Also, they were happy to celebrate the birthday of David Sr., which I was so unfortunate to miss. Well, I'm happy that it was grand to the best of their ability and they had a great time. Later on, I got to know that some things happened to a friend of mine and I felt really upset about it. What aroused me was her attitude towards those "people". I sure leant the true meaning of "forgiving those who sin against us" from her. I pray that God would reward her and her friends for their loving heart and service to him. Thanks Pamela!! Well, I remembered that there were quite a bunchful of birthday celebrations coming up, so I'll rather wish everyone of them at the same time: Happy Birthday to David Sr., Pai Chet, Fiona & Nonofo. Wish you a great lifetime in serving God and enjoying his blessings and grace. Cheers!!! By the way, I experienced some technical errors in one of my projects and had to redo most of my part, but it was still ok in the end. Thank God for that and also, special thanks to Zhiqin who shared the burden with me. It's interesting to always discover that it's the little things people do that shows their true character. I sure am greatful to have these special friends around me.. and some far away but always close to my heart. Well, I'll surely be looking forward to the Easter celebrations in Hope Serdang and the movie nite slated for Good Friday as well. Hopefully, we would have some new converts... hehe. Well folks, it's that time again... drive safely and have a lovely Easter celebration, sharing God's love to others in words, deeds and prayers. Maranatha!!!

A new day..

It's quite early in the morning and I'm here updating my blog( for apparently no reason). I've even got a 7-hour "marathon" classes to begin in a couple of minutes... well anyway, I just wanted to say that I had a great time at my friends' place where we had a BBQ nite and played some soccer, both physically & non-physically. It was great hanging out with them though there was always the language barrier.... still working on that though. Anyway, I'll be extremely busy these coming days, so I wouldn't be anywhere near my blog(s) for a while. :-) Hope to catch up with you all later then. p.s: I think it's way too "untrue" for you to be in a relationship right now.

Dance, Fun & Laughter

Hi guys and gals, it's been quite some time since I last updated my blog, right? I guess we've all been very busy of late and I'm definitely not an exception to that humble fact. Oh yea, I'm supposed to share about the recent BGR seminar held @ Hope PJ yesterday. It was mostly attended by the student units of Hope KLCC, PJ & Serdang. I and the rest of the 'gang' had to practice to perform a dance after the seminar(i.e during the mini-concert). At first, I seemed SO 'shy' in a way to stand in front of a medium crowd and perform a 'somewhat' western romatic dance.... well, I soon got over it. I ended up having fun practicing and rehearsing with my asian partner, Candy. I invited her to be my dance partner 'cause I earlier saw a pix of her dancing with a guy and so, I pretty much figured that she'll be a very good dance partner... there's nothing more to it anyway. We danced and danced and danced some more... I had little or no time to study but I still felt grateful to be able to glorify God with what I was going to do, even in the presence of beloved brethren from th evarious Hope churches.... In the end, the practices paid out and we all had a swell time. By the way, I grasped a few key points about the whole 'relationship' issue and I must admit that I'm really not in the right position to start one anytime soon.... that goes to all my secret admirers by the way(well, if there's any.... hehe!!). I learnt a simple truth & advice that we should NEVER start a relationship with the aim or motive of just "Trying it out". Besides, most relationships start with a good and true friendship between people and in so doing, it becomes more easier for that friendship to blossom into a rightful relationship. At times, some of us fall victim of the case of Lust which tends to hurt others and even ourselves. I'll prefer personally, to wait for the right one and at the same time, prepare myself for the right one. Wow, I've reall said a lot and I hope you all grab a few tips about starting a fruitful relationship... Please, never rush into starting one, else you'll always live to regret it. Well, that's all folks from the broadcasting crew @ Cyberjaya Studios... do stay tuned for more breaking news & pictures.... hehe... Bye for now!!!

Good, Sweet memories

It sure has been an adventurous experience for me so far.. if you permit me to say so. I've seen in ways so far, about the importance of trusting in God. It might seem like I'm humanly doing the wrong things or making the wrong decisions but I'll still choose to obey him. I came here in Cyberjaya not so long ago and I'm glad that I've relatively settled down here... thanks to some people who went out of their ways to help me in getting accommodation, moving my stuffs and having a nice time so far. I'm really excited and a little tensed about what the future holds in store for me... but in the end, I believe everything will work out well for me(as in Romans 8:28). I remember the past and all the good memories that I shared with some people and I must say that it was really lovely.... all the laughters, teasing and unlimited sms-in... it was and would always be cherished in my heart. But as time and fate move up in life, we tend to drift more and more into our calling, hoping not to desert one another in out times of peril. Hmm, so poetic?? hehe... I might say very few words or even nothing at all, but it sure goes a long way to say that my heart does the rest of the talking ... even in prayers. Well, I must also wish all my chinese friends "Gong Xi Fa Cai" and a lovely time of re-union with their family members & friends. Take care & have fun!!

Its that time again

I really don't know why I'm here again but since I'm here, I've got to make it count. Over the past weeks, I've been in the "front seat" of decision-making and so far, I've been able to act according to God's will in respect to them. I sometimes find it hard to adapt to some things such as not seeing my very good friends for that LONG and entering a MORE mature world of adults.. well, I guess I'll soon get over it as always... sigh.. The past semester had so many moments of anguish, turmoil and hurt from lots of things said and done. I felt sometimes that it wasn't worth me being here in M'sia 'cause it became more than what I could bear as a person... but God pulled me through them all by his infinite love and grace for me. So, if I owe anyone anything, it'll be HIM. Yup, school's starting tomorrow and it's surely going to be a pleasant ride with me at the backseat and the holy spirit at d wheels... :-) Wish everyone a pleasant and stress-free semester ahead... take care always & God bless!!!

I guess it's goodbye to everyone!!

It's very strange when we come up to this stage in life and then..... we're kinda short of words. This feeling of sadness.... feeling that you might not see the ones you love for a long time... it's all coming back to me now. I hope it's just a nightmare or something of that sort, so that I can wake up in a new day with a bright future ahead of me. It's also sad that I'll not be around for long 'cause I'll soon be studying elsewhere in Cyberjaya... very sad, right?? Yup, it's just part of a divine plan for me and I've got to obey it "to the letter". Recently, I hung out with some of my friends, including a dear friend of mine and I really felt that feeling of inner peace within me.... 'cause I was hurt on that day by "something" but I was cheered up by my dear friend.. I'll leave the pictures to tell the rest of the story then... Enjoy!!!
