Time sure flies,
and now here i am, wondering why i am doing what i am doing!
So much pain, suffering and sacrifices,
to fulfill his will and not my own,
But i know that it must be done,
and the harvest after,
is worth every single drop of blood and sweat,
because in the end,
the kingdom of Christ will prevail over all,
and finally i can lay down,
my heart at rest,
and smile a true smile!

Project Mini Tiramisu

With some of the leftovers from da yong's tiramisu for his cell group, i've managed to create this set of tiramisu as a trial run. So far, it doesnt seem half as bad as the real thing, and goes well as a dessert for any occasions. :)

Prototype 1

Prototype 2

Both prototype 1 and 2

God is bigger than my problems! In him i find my strength, peace and understanding!

Yet another semester has passed in a blink of an eye, and the cell group also draws to an end. And this time round, i've decided to surprise the cell with something special.

I'll give you hints along the way, try and see if you can figure out what i made for the cell this time.1) Ferrero Rocher

2) Strawberries

Could you guess what i made with just the two pics above? :) Hahaha.....some of you who knew for a long time , could probably guess what i made by just the 2 pictures above.

It is my pride and joy, to introduce to you my masterpiece;

**My strawberry tiramisu cake**

I poured out my heart and creativity to pull this amazing feat. I know i'm no italian master chef, and my culinary/baking skills are no where near half that of my mum. But i did my best, and put in my effort. The end result is this. And it pains me beyond anything, to watch a knife slice through my beauty, and as it is gobbled down by us humans. XD

p.s : i dun mind baking cakes for those who request for one.I only ask that you will supply me the resources, as they do not come cheap.

2008-10-22T16:18:00.003+08:00

I've already posted this image that i (out of pure boredom) drew with paint last year, but since summer is quickly creeping up on us again, i couldnt find a better way to illustrate my frustration with the ever so in-famous flies of Australia.

Perth Royal show

We have by far, never once failed to attend this carnival and go home empty handed....i repeat never!
So this year, we were on a winning spree again with all those funny little mini games.Oh! the joy of winning excessively :)

This game isnt actually worth the money, but i have always loved guns, so i couldnt resist passing this opportunity.

Da yong and i Gloating over our horde of toys. :P

The four of us, tired and exhausted from winning.

The whole event was definitely worth our time. Every where we went, there were envious eyes looking at us.The weirdest thing that happen, was that there were three teenage girls who kept begging for us to give them 1 of our toys.They were at it for at least a whole 20 mins or so trying to convince us to grace them with one of our winnings.But of course i didnt give in. I know i'm mean, and i love being mean :) muahahhahaha.....that aside, i actually felt terrible for some of the unluckire people.They having to spent so much, only to return home empty handed. T_T

If you are wondering where all those toys are now, they are all sitting in my living room.At the end of the year, i will most likely give it to charity or something along the lines.For those of you who didnt win much this year, well, there is always next year :) so better luck next time! :P

2008-10-09T00:45:00.005+08:00

My head is in a mess now! I've ask a few people already and most of their answer is a definite no!
So i'm opening this question to the rest of you,and your feedback would be deeply appreciated :

I'm thinking of getting another tattoo.
What do you think?
Please dont give me a short "yes/no" reply-it isnt very helpful

If you wouldnt mind, i did like to know why you say "yes" and why you would say "No"

Thnx in advance for ur feedback. :)

Araluen Trip

Of all the ways to spend my saturday, i had to spend it in a botanical garden!!!
But as much as i hated the idea of wasting a free day with flowers, i have to admit, that it was actually fun to do stupid poses with frens.So at the end of the day, i guess it isnt half as bad as i expected it to be!

Other than seeing flowers, there isnt other much things to do here in Araluen.

Such vibrant colours! :)

I love this effect.It is a camera function that picks out a primary colour while greying out the other colours.

I'm sorry my pictures from now on seem somewhat ...gay!!! but you have to understand me, what else can a bored guy like me do in such a place??

But alas, i refuse to post anymore of myself with gay poses, imagine the damage it can do to my rep!!! If you really want to see those humiliating photos that was taken of me, come find me personally, and we can work out a deal. :P

If there was anything that i enjoyed about the week break, it would have been the paintballing session

Maybe it's just a guy thing, but the joy of getting to shoot people, the adrenaline that keeps you going even though you are exhausted, the pain and sores that keeps you on alert, the feeling of heroism and bravery as you rush forward taking/dodging bullets to take important spots, and the glory off it all when you win the game, all this just speak directly to my masculine heart.

I hardly get to feel alive, with all the uni work, the assignments and the exams, all that seems to dull out the man/boy inside of me, but here, in the midst of a battle, I truly feel alive.

Pain, as people say, is a turn off. But for me, it keeps me alert and aware of my surroundings.Pain keeps me going, pain keeps me running, pain reminds me of my goals, pain reminds me not to be careless, and pain makes me feel real.I'm no sadist(just in case you get the wrong idea). It's just part of the game, getting out of your comfort zone, and facing the reality at hand!
So before i conclude, i must say it again. This was prolly the biggest highlight this semester so far for me.I truly enjoy being out in the wilds more than being stucked inside a room.Maybe that is just how God made me!

2008-08-31T21:56:00.002+08:00

Sore body from paintball, Touch rugby competition, and badminton, all in within 2 days.
Overexerting your body = excruciating muscle pain

If u know that a fire can burn, why then do we stick our hands inside the fire?
only to later- blame the fire when we get burn?

If we know that a knife is sharp, why then do we slit it across our hands?
only to later- blame the knife for cutting you?

If you know it is going to rain, why then do we go out without being prepared?
only to later-blame the terrible weather for making you wet?

If you know it is dark, why then do we go on without a light?
Only to later- blame the darkness for being dark?

Makes you wonder doesnt it, on how dumb we can sometimes be.Lets face it, when we fall short of sin, we blame temptations, we blame God for letting it happen.But when something good happen, we think it is all about us.

To sum it up, when bad things happens, it is all God's fault,
But when greatthings happen, it is all about me,me and me!

It brings me to this point,
if you know that temptations are there, if you know that you are weak against this temptataions,

Why then put yourself in the middle of the temptations?Why position yourself, so that you are easily tempted?

If a fire can burn, shouldnt you then wear protective gears?( even the fireman do)
If know a knife is sharp, shouldnt we then handle it with care?
If it is going to rain, shouldnt we put on a raincoat?
If it is dark, shouldnt we bring a light source to lit up the darkness?

So then if we are going to be tempted, or is being tempted, shouldnt we be armed with the word of God???

Water puts out fire
Precaution counters accidents
Umbrella blocks out the rain
Light removes darkness
The word of God is a double edge sword that brings justice,truth and cuts the enemy down.

Here is the pic of my new 24" monitor.Dunno why, but i'm extremely overjoyed with it.It supports full HDMI, and HDCP, with a contrast ratio of 10,000:1 and a response time of 5ms.So that means it could support a ps3 anytime,anywhere! Overkill!!

Now, nerdy stuff aside, here is poor Vips with his face being drawn by us when he felt asleep on the sofa in Gen's house.Kekekeke........i feel so so evil! **evil grin**

2008-08-25T18:08:00.001+08:00

2008-08-18T15:52:00.003+08:00

Today just isnt my day!! When to shop for monitors, and the one i wanted was not in stock, nwm, then found a better model, but also not in stock!! still nwm, when to have lunch at happy meals, but found it was close on mondays!! wah !! nwm.......then summore got people pulling my leg again through a phone call!!!....thats it!!!! no more 'nwm'!! The only person that is allowed to pull poeple's leg is me, me and only me!! How is it my leg is the one being pulled now??????I must be getting old already, my mind and tongue not as sharp as before.So i've decided to take up my housemate's advice and ignore the mysterious caller!! No offense to the caller, but if i dun noe your name, if i have no idea how you look like, have no recollection of how we met, then you must be pretty insignificant as a person for me not to remember anything about you, not even ur voice.So if we have ever met, nice knowing you, although for the better or for the worst, i do not remember you! HAHAHHAHAHAHaha............but honestly speaking, HONESTLY speaking, emphasizing HONESTLY, i cant stop trying to figure out your name, even though on my part,this is pointless and a waste of my time.It's just my ego , and the fact that i cannot admit to myself that my leg is pulled by someone else! So if i do find out ur name soon, best be aware, i'll not let this slip by.I'll be stalking you day and night!I'll make ur life miuserable, i'll do things to you that makes horror movies look like some chick flicks, Do you feel me!!! I'll eat u alive!!!I'll tear down ur walls , i'll be ur worst nightmare!!! -ROAR-

**Saliva flying everywhere after the roar**
**Starts thinking**
**Stupidly realises that i'm throwing a blind threat to a laptop screen**
**Slaps forehead**

p.s : this post is just a pun,the threat and violence shown here is purely to "colourfy" or "membunga-kan" my words! so have a happy week this week everyone! :P :)

2008-08-11T12:53:00.007+08:00

3rd week of uni...........i'm losing determination to attend my class!!!
It's so hard to wake up for classes at 8am.Summore 3 times a week again!
But i'll hold my grounds, the people i love are counting on me,With God on my side,I will not fail them

Ok stupid classes aside, there is something on my mind that i wanna share wif u guys.
Something that i realise that is happening now and which i need to address immediately.
Look at the picture below,it is divided into 2 sections 'the dark' and 'the light'

Now as christians, on which side should we be on?Is it on point A-the dark or is it point b-the light?Seems pretty obvious isnt it?I mean we are aferall christians right?save and redeem by the blood of Jesus Christ.If there is anywhere we should be, we should be in point b-the light.

Well if you settle for point B as your answer, then you are PRIDEFULLY AND SELFISHLY WRONG.Yes we are redeemed, yes we are healed, and yes we are called to be the light and shine like a city on a hill.But why are shining in places where there is already others shining as well? Do you need a lamp in broad daylight?do you need to save those who are already saved?Who are we to fortify oursleves inside four towering walls, and say that we are better than the people outside this walls?Have you forgotten, that the people outside this walls are loved by God just as much as you are?Then who are we to say to GOD that those outside the walls are filthy worthless scumbags, bad influence and unable to do good????Who are we to even think that we are better off than them!

If your answer was point A- again you are very wrong,.We are in a constant spiritual warfare here, and if you think that you can put urself in the dark and change it entirely, then you are gravely mistaken.Remember, the devil isnt a walk over! He's smarter than all of us, if we know how and when the devil is going to strike, you think any of us will ever be attacked?No! But the problem is that, half the time, we dont even see him coming, what more to place urself right in his territory-the dark???Before u know it,the darkness would have already overwhelmed you.Having the right intentions doesnt necessarily means you will get to the right conclusion!Good intentions arent enough, you will need more than good intentions if you wanna change the world

In my opinion, we should be at Point C- the door between the dark and the light.And not just 1 person, i mean the entire church of christ.Its time to say goodbye to your fortified castle, and abolish the guerilla attacks that we use once in a while by tossing 1 or two christians into the dark and hoping that they would change the whole darkness into light.Dont get me wrong here, everyone can make a difference,dont belittle what little you have now.But to just think that u can walk in and chamge the world, my how naive is that!Wake up people!Start at the door,with prayers, with petition, with preparation, with the church and not going in alone, and most importantly, with God's counsel and guidance, let the light slip in slowly and steadily.Before you know it, the entire room will be filled with light.Do you not realise it yet, that Jesus is the door to salvation, and we who have known and experience the love of christ, arent we also like a door to love?why keep the door shut, open it up! 1person, 2 person, 3person......and more, soon the darkness will be overwhelmed with light.Everyone matters!

I'm not trying to belittle Jesus here, some of you might say, i have Jesus, therefore i have already won the war.Mind you, we are still in the midst of a spiritual warfare, and Jesus did call on us to fight this war.Not just sit there and call upon his name.Another thing is that, even Jesus didnt rush into combat, he took his time, to be exact 30yrs.He came first as a baby, grew up a carpenter, went and slowly find his disciples, fasted, prayed, when through baptism, and then into the warzone-healing, performing miracles,teaching and the finale, the cross, over which he rose up victorious 3 days later!You dont see Jesus just budging and pushing his way through
the enemies territory do you?He took time to prepare and pray!Victory, as we all know was surely Jesus, but look at him, he took his time to show compassion for the poor,the sick, the weak and the sinners.He was filled with love and compassion for them.The same goes for us christians, we are not here for a leisure walk to kill whatever time we have left on earth, we are called to a battle to win souls, to win hearts, to win lives, and at the same time not forgetting the reason for doing all this-LOVE

The last thing i wanna leave you guys with is this:
If God is love, OR if God=Love;
then are we not by definition,messengers of love!

2008-07-31T16:30:00.004+08:00

I saw two rainbows today while walking back from my class .I do not have the picture, because i deem it as absolutely gayness for a guy to take a picture of a rainbow under the rain in the middle of the sidewalk.But i have to admit how amazing it is to see a rainbow above another rainbow!(i'm not suffering from double vision mind you!!)
The timing of the rainbow was absolutely perfect as well. You see, I was pondering to myself about how this semester is going to be, seeing that i idiotically stuffed up the previous semester, my morale for this semester is pretty low, thus i have doubts that i am ever gonna make it through this semester. Then lo and behold! Double rainbows before me!It's like God saying to me, "I will finish what i've started in you,that is my promise........**cough cough**.I see you still doubt me, how about this, i'll add in an extra rainbow to what i gave to Noah centuries ago.Now u have 1 rainbow more than Noah! Are you still gonna doubt me?"
Noah had a single rainbow for a convenant between him and God,Moses had a burning bush( i prefer this one more), and now i have a double rainbow!!! :) :)

Well, i know i dun have a picture of what i saw, and i still insist that it is very gay for a guy to take a picture of a rainbow(under the rain summore),so i went online to see if i can get a pic and this is the best i can do to let u guys see what i saw!!

2008-07-27T15:50:00.003+08:00

I have made the tiramisu cake countless time, since the day i learnt bout the recipe 3.5yrs back.But it has always been the same thing over,and over, and over again.So this time round, i have decided to go the extra mile and give it a major face-lift. Afterall, its my cell-members request for another members b'day. In addition to that, i owe Andrew a major favour over certain issues regarding cell-group.So without further bragging, here is my new tiramisu with its new body-kit! :P :P

I was very afraid to take the risk at first to decorate the cake, mainly because i have never done it before.If i were to ruin the cake, than they will be no b'day cake for theb'day girl.Secondly, the ingredients are exceptionally expensive compared to my regular tiramisu, so if i skrew this one up, all the money i spent will go down the drain.So with all the guts i have, i took the risk and ventured into an unknown world of decoration......and behold!! i think i came out victorious.
So to Kelly, the b'day girl, happy Nth b'day(i forgot how old u were).And i do hope u enjoy the tiramisu cake to the fullest.

WARNING-EXTREMELY PISSED OFF.
FRAGILE MOOD- THREAD LIGHTLY

I dont like typing emo/moody/pissed off type of post.In fact this is my first time doing this, and will not be the last if the problem persist.In fact, be wary, cause if words does not knock some sense into you, then i'll let my fist do it!

Firstly and most importantly:

I'm so bloody frustrated at how our Leaders are always being overlooked.When they do something good that is worthy of praise,people turn a blind eye, or some go as low as to make use of the situation for self glory. But when they make an error, people would start highlighting the errors with all the vibrant colours of the rainbow (pun intended) so the whole world could see it.

How many times do we actually go up to them and ACTUALLY thank them. Not just your normal procedure of;

1)Receive
2)90% focus on the gift and 10% on appreciation
2)Brush them off with a quick thank you
3)Go your own way

Do we actually sit down and actually pay more attention on the "thank you" part, or spend more time admiring and showing off what u just received part??

Gosh! the frustration i'm having now is about to explode into multiple orgasm(I think i need to paraphrase this sentence).

How can someone just criticise Stanley, without first understanding the situation he's in? Fine!! i understand that you are upset that the outing was messed up. But then why do you have to complain and criticize stanley without offering any constructive advice, and then remain anonymous.It's like criticizing a blind man for crossing the road blindly and not offering your help! Like as if the blind man needed to be told his blind at all!!! The last thing the blind man needed was ur criticism,what he really needed was a hand to guide him across the road. And as if ur wild criticism wasnt bad enough, you chose to remain anonymous! WHAT A BLOODY DUCKING BASKET YOU ARE! If you dare to speak up, then you should also be brave enough to show urself. It doesnt take anything to speak up in the shadows, but it takes real courage to speak up openly and face the responsiblity of your words.Anyone can complain and sulk about the situation of their country, in an unknown kopi-tiam somewhere, but it takes a real man with courage to actually step up and make sure a change happens for the better!If you got the balls to complain, then, please i beg you, have the same balls to reveal urself and back up your words.

Phew!! anger finally subsided

Look! dont just receive and not give anything in return.
Dont just flame someone,and not offer constructive advice

At least, again i beg you, at least, try understanding Stanley's situation first!
It's really an admirable feat to be able to juggle between ministry,serving,members well-being,work, and family together.
We as the projz ministry do not function as separate cells,instead, we function as a whole body.
To fulfill our vision, it takes you, me and the whole team's effort.The last thing the team need is us biting at each other's necks.

I admit,I have my faults(very bad ones, mind you!) and still have some that is yet to be fixed .If people were to just complain and criticize me, i wouldnt change at all even if i wanted to,because i wouldnt know how. It was people's feedbacks,patience,advices,discipline and consults, that taught me how to change. If it werent for them, i will still be with many faults( like a fridge that functions like a microwave).

To sum it all up,

"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" How can you say to your brother,'let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you would see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

MATT 7:4-6

2008-05-27T01:15:00.002+08:00

Enter through the narrow gate.For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few finds it. (Matt 7:13-14)

And when the few of them finally finds the narrow road;

What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, i tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety nine that did not wander off. (Matt 18:12-14)

And what does God do when finds this few;

Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and say,'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety nine righteous people who do not repent. Luke (15:6-7)

There is a small thumping fear somewhere inside me. I'm not sure if its just me, but recently, i think i'm being followed. By who or what, i'm not sure? I just get the chill everytime i walk to uni or back. The winter season isn't helping either, as if i wasnt cold enough on my own trying to shrug off the feeling of being followed. It doesnt matter if it's daytime or at night, whether i'm alone or in a group, the mysterious presence is always there. With every passing day my heart beats faster, and my inside seems to get weaker. This feeling, i know i felt it before, many times in fact! But i just cant pin point what exactly it is. I'm a Guy that could take on any challenge thrown at me, and my motto is "If ur gonna lose/die anyways, might as well die trying, at least if i were to die, make sure i take at minimal one of my enemies with me." In other simpler words, it means" Fight till the end,regardless of the situation!" And it is by this motto that i've gotten so far in life, never fearing whatever challenges that is thrown at me, regardless of it size. BUT this.....this is on a whole different scale! It is something that i cant imagine. The endless sleepless nights that i have spent trying to shake of this feeling. Why on earth is it bothering me!!

AaAHhHhHhH!!! Don't you just hate it when the final exams are creeping up on you, especially if you are a last minute student like me!! NO wonder i knew i had felt the feeling before. It's called the "curse of the last minuter" XD XD XD XD I better start my revision asap before i fall too deep into the abyss, and far beyond redemption!!

This is an extremely delayed post, mostly due to the fact that i couldnt get hold of the pics. So before i start picture spamming, i would like to thank all of you once again for making my 21st bday a very memorable 1. The reason as to why i chose to make it very grand this yr round is because it'll be the last bday together with you guys here in perth(for the next 2 yrs) as i'll be heading for karlgoorlie next yr. For those who couldn't make it, i sincerely apologize for not opting for a cheaper alternative.

Yee mei and I

But the most important reason for this post, is to thank Janice! She was the one who helped drive me around to find a restaurant, helped me with the bookings, organizing the decors (balloons,chocolates,candles,etc.), bought the wonderful ice cream cake and went the extra mile to bake me a jar of cookies, despite the fact that i'm always annoying the crap out of her. Thank you so much for your effort in making this an unforgettable party. Not many ppl have the patience and tolereance such as yours, to put up with me and my insulting, nasty, and straight to point comments about everything.I've seen some ppl (kiam hu, Grace, etc) loose their cool after only taking 2 or 3 nasty comments. So u are a really special person to be able to take all the hits, and yet still decide to go the extra mile to bless an asshole and an idiot such as me. Thanks for your faith in me all this time. If ever i were to become a better person, i have no one else to thank but you, Genesis, Andrew and God.

Its been 5-6 long years since i have last been fishing, so when Janice asked if i wanted to join her boyfriend to go fishing last saturday, i just couldnt resist! I just fail to understand why some people just dont find fishing interesting. It really goes to test ur patience! if u cant wait for small stuff, what makes u think u can wait for bigger stuff??

Needless to say, i was really rusty and the first few times that i try to cast was just terrible!It landed a few centimeters away from me.

But if ur persistant and determine, you'll get 1 fish..........

And another.......

And it keeps on coming...

Honestly speaking, i caught approximately 10++ fishes, but the sad thing was, they were all undersize :( :(, so i have to return them to the sea so that they can continue to grow and make more love thus creating more fishes. If i'm not mistaken, the biggest fish i caught was a brine (as shown below) but it was still undersize. Maybe next time.....

Anyways, the trip was truly refreshing.I owe it all to Daniel for teaching me how to cast (again!) how to prepare the bait, and a few tips on how to fish and when to fish. This trip wouldnt be as fun if it wasnt for his patience in teaching us!

The enemy likes to strike where it hurts the most!
Why is everything around me breaking apart, damn it?
Their Friendship is what saved me, and now i can do nothing to uphold that friendship!
What i have always believed in, is now in rumbles before me!
So many things in my head, so much bloody things that shouldnt even be!
I feel like punching the wall till it hurt so badly so that the pain can take my mind off this!
and yet i know i change nothing by doing so.
God this shouldnt be, of all places why our church, and most importantly, why them?
Its so damn hard to just sit and watch and not being able to do anything or to change how things are going!
Skrew sitting, Skrew waiting, Skrew watching, i want to change things!
This is not how its suppose to be!
What's the point of having everything if you cant even save those that matters most to you?

2008-04-28T01:37:00.008+08:00

Pride!
The Deadliest sin,
All of us have it, who in this world can deny it!

Here i am, watching this very sin, eating away at all the things i hold dear to my heart. Nobody wants to give in, everybody thinks they are right, and no one wants to take the fall! In its wake, friendship build over years together breaks into a million pieces in mere seconds. It feels like just hours ago that we were having a bbq together, and the moments we spend lifting each other up stills linger freshly in my memories. Why cant anyone see that is not about which side you take? If we have to pick a side, shouldn't it be God's side? Sometimes, when you are too high up, your visions starts to blur and your breathing becomes heavier; its almost as if when you are up high, you forget about what is down below! I wish things could be as they were before, just a bunch of "Man-ly Men" doing "Male-bonding!" No more issue of 'i'm right and you are wrong' , no more issue of 'I believe in what i believe, you believe in what you believe' standing between anyone. Why is it so hard to let go, to embrace humility? If our path is the right path, is it wrong to be humble and give in to others? Will God then judge you ill-ly by saying, "You have sin for u have chosen to be humble before others?" For if the path we have chosen is really the right path, wouldn't God's blessings be upon you? Who else can be against you if God is for you? At the end of the day, aren't we all commanded to do the same thing??? aren't we all commanded to do "his works?"

So brothers and sisters,
can we just drop the issue of who is right and who is wrong?
can we just drop the issue of this is what i believe and that is what you believe?
can we lower ourself to a point where we can openly admit "i'm wrong?"
can we destroy that towering wall between us that is called pride?

Aren't we called to serve together?
Weren't we called to put our differences aside?
Didn't the same God died for us?
Wasn't our sins nailed to the cross THROUGH the same hands of Jesus?
Wasn't our salvation paid by the same person?
Do not we serve the same God?

I once asked God," How can i change the world? How can i make a difference in the world? Characteristic wise-i'm rotten, talent wise-i've none, experience wise-next to zero, Knowledge wise-no more than an ant!How can i ever do anything? Where should i start?"

And with a reassuring voice, he said,"Start just as how Jesus started; On his knees washing the feet of his Disciples!"

If Jesus, Lord of Lords, King Of Kings,the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end, the Son of God, is on his KNEES washing the feet of his disciples, what more us???For we who think we know it all, we who think we are above others, we who think and believe we are right, my question is, are u willing to humble yourself to a point of admitting your pride? are you able to let go of this pride and serve others? I know Jesus did! In fact he did much more than just getting on his knees to wash our feet. For him it wasn't enough, NO! it just wasn't enough, Jesus did much more than to just wash our feet! he took it further.......................he took the FALL for us,once and for all-----------he took it to the cross! If anyone had any pride to lose, shouldnt it be God? He gave up his own son to save us. So how about us? What are we really losing at the end of the day? So my challenge for all of us today is this, "Can we follow in Jesus's footsteps and let go of our pride to serve others?"

Couldnt believe i woke up at 5am just to see the sunrise!!.....Too be more exact, only Willy, Da yong and I were punctual in getting up, compared to the rest, especially Charlyn, who was half an hour late!! I dunno why i agreed to tag along.Me, Da yong and Darrel

Never-the-less, i have to admit that i actually had fun seeing the sun rise and taking pictures. It has been ages since i last saw a sun rise.

KEKEKEKEKE....now u know why the water is so very salty

What an absolute beauty!

Majority of the time when i get up from bed, the sun is usually already shining brightly in the sky. So i guess doing this once in a while isnt such a bad thing afterall. Its a good reminder that every morning is a beautiful morning. The things that God does just to captivate my heart.

And acting stupid and trying to disrupt photo takings by suddenly popping ur head out of no where is hell lots of fun. Getting whacked later by the girls isnt so fun though.

Char the terrible doesnt know that darrel and i were hiding behind

2008-04-18T00:26:00.002+08:00

I'm thinking of having a pet. Tried keeping a fish......but it was a very boring companion.Something that is quiet yet adorable. Something u can fondle with and not get bitten.Something than can be a great companion yet not make a big mess. Something compact and mobile.Hmmmm.....................what is the animal for the chinese calender this year again?

2008-04-15T11:09:00.001+08:00

Man utd 2-1 Arsenal

muahhahahahahahha.........who's next on the list? Chelsea??? Bring it on!!

Side note : Pls be advised that this post may content explicit materials,if ur under the age of 18, or prefer to be under the age of 18, pls do not read any further!!! Dont come nagging at me about how inappropriate this post is, i already warned you not to read it!!

Woke up this morning to a wonderful surprise, a parcel that came all the way from Melbourne just for me! A pressie from my cuzzie

With exploding enthusiasm, i ripped open the parcel to see what my beloved cuzzie on the east side had sent me. The first thing that greeted my anxious eyes was a piece of crumbled paper,

Then as i vigorously dug my way through the layers of reused paper, i found this,

You cannot imagine the amount of confusion i was in............how was i suppose to use this???

1) Do I ..........shove it up my arse??

2)Do I ...........put it in my mouth??

3)Do I ...........grab it with my man-ly hands??

I shall embark on a journey to find the use of this very mysterious object!

After all is said and done, i would like to thank Ad! for the pressie.......it was seriously unexpected! Even Pei Ren probably wouldnt be able to think about this one. :P

2008-04-05T00:14:00.003+08:00

A blink of an eye and I'm 21 years old!! Looking back at how i got to where i am now, i think i must have caused my mum more pain being outside rather than being inside for 9 months.Time sure flies, last i remember i was in Kindergarten when i found a whole piece of someone's crap under the sink with my cousin Adrian. I bet you 50 bucks he remembered that as well. Then i was in primary 1 playing "pepsi-cola" with Bry, Bert, Siang, Syl, leng and the gang. Fast forward to Form 4 and five, We were out there "cleaning" the park for some stupid moral stuff,

and the stupid "incident" i had with Cikgu Govin. Then there i was leaving for Perth,

and so far, this is my fourth year here.So many memories, some good some bad, but all of which help shape me to become who i am today.

2008-04-02T14:54:00.002+08:00

Assignments and mid sem tests.......what more can i say? Either one by itself, is enough to stress you out, and now i've both. SUICIDAL!! Well, i guess that's what happen when u focus on the "break" during the "study break."Furthermore i've still got to prepare word for friday cell and arrange transport for saturday's dinner. This week sure does pack in one hell of a punch!

2008-03-29T01:04:00.001+08:00

Bloody chicken, I’ve been taggd again in less than 24 hrs………..can you guys cut me some slack!!.Ok I’m doing this whole “son of a chicken” thing again…..and this time I’ll make it simpler to understand so that you guys wouldn’t say ,”Chicken lar that melvin, so super bor fun one”

1. At what age do you wish to marry?

I’m not interested in marriage, so that means I dun wanna get married, which means I dun noe what age I’ll be married.

2. What will you do when you feel really emo?

I talk to God, set my problems before him, ask him for guidance. In other words, its called “quiet time”

3. What do you have in your mind now?

Why do I have to do this again….chau chicken lay egg !!!!!!

4.Where is the place that you want to go most?

Switzerland, Hawaii, Israel……I think this I simple enuf so I’m not gonna elaborate

5.If you have one dream to come true, what would it be?

That everyone could be happy, no worries, no “me better than you” or “you better than me” stuff. My dreams is basically that the whole world could be happy for who they are and what they have, without having to compare to others.

6.Do you believe in seeing the rainbow after the rain?

Duh!!!! Who doesn’t? you gonna have to close ur eyes if you do not wanna see the rainbow. And if you wanna talk about deeper meanings behind the question above, then yes, I believe that there will always be hope despite the situation ur in. It may be tough now, but just hold on, persevere a little longer, and then you will finally see the rainbow after the storm.

7.What are you afraid to lose the most right now?

People I love

8. What cheers you up for the rest of the day?

Just seeing people smiling makes my day.

9.If you meet someone you love, would you confess to him/her?

I’m not interested in relationship as of the moment. If someone can convince me that there is more to a relationship then what I perceive, than that is someone worth chasing after!!
I would not confess to her. Anyone can sweet talk, I believe in showing it to her.And by showing I mean living out my love for her, not just talk about it.

10.List out three good things of the person who tagged you.

Cheah Yean and Jie Huei

I seriously dunno you guys much at all………so I wouldn’t any thing to say bout you guys.

11. What are the requirements that you wish from your other half?

I may talk chicken shit about this often, but honestly, I never took it into consideration, I believe in serving the other half more then in expecting things out of her. I look into what I can do for her more than what she can do for me. Its rather hard to believe that coming from me, since I’m always chicken here and chicken there sort of person…….but they do say never judge a book by its cover

12.What type of person do you hate the most?

I don’t hate people!!! Disagreements is a natural phenomenon. It happens all the time, but I don’t see why you have to hate others for it. Or when someone does something unpleasant to you, I don’t see why you have to hate them for it. Hate doesn’t change ppl, love does! Think about it for a moment

13.What would you do if you won a million dollars?

Settle my lil sis and my lil bro’s education fees first.Than I’ll start pondering on what to do with the remaining money

14.What is your ambition?

Graduate from my course and change the world

15.What would you wanna be after you're dead?

Again, I stand firm on my previous answer; this is a ridiculously stupid question

16. If you have a chance, which part of your character would you like to change?

I’m happy the way I am, so I would like nothing of me to be changed. I prefer to be hated for who I am than to be liked for who im not

17. What is your favourite colour?

Black, white, red, silver

18.What do you think is the most important thing in your life?

My family and my frens

19. If there’s one thing in your life you want to do but yet unable to, what would it be?

Be a person that is able to change the world.

20. What would you do if tomorrow was the last day of the world?

Doesn’t make any diff, I’ll still see all the people I love the next day in heaven

2008-03-28T11:56:00.003+08:00

I dunno why some people make such a big fuss over the fact that Janica is temporarily leaving Perth. She's coming back in a few month time, and yet, the way some people does things is as if she will be gone forever.(its not a bad thing though, if it actually happens). Ah well, for what its worth, here is a group photo of her housemates plus my housemates plus one person that doesnt come from either one of the houses(take a guess) but is one of her good frens, taken on easter sunday before she left.

Speaking of which, i cant believe i missed the whole easter service this yr!!!! I guess its really not always about receiving, sometimes you have to learn to give on your end as well!!

2008-03-28T00:37:00.001+08:00

11. What are the requirements that you wish from your other half?
--> Screw looks, after 50 yrs everyone would look the same……but seriously,

12.What type of person do you hate the most?
--> I can have disagreements with people, but I fail to see the point in hating people.

20. What would you do if tomorrow was the last day of the world?
-->I never gave it a thought, but does it really matter, I’ll still see many love ones in heaven…….oh and that reminds me, try my very best to bring Christ’s love to those I love that haven yet experience and excepted the love of Christ.

I'm supposed to pass this on to others.......but seeing how i actually wasted time doing this, i'm not gonna waste the time of others. Furthermore, all the people that i wanna tagged has already been tagged......so consider urself lucky to get off the hook this time round!

2008-03-26T01:48:00.005+08:00

Well, honestly i'm speechless. With my attitude and the way i live my life, i would expect many things to happen to me, but this......this is something that i would never ever possibly thought would have happen to me. Even the probability of me striking a 30 million lotto jackpot is higher than what had just happen to me. I was attacked, gruesomely if i may add. I was an innocent bystander behind a toilet door, minding my very own business, when suddenly, a shadow appeared from outside the toilet door. I perceived that the shadow could only belong to a foul treacherous being. I tried my best to keep my presence from being noticed.As the mysterious being approached nearer, it bend over and reached out for an unknown object a few centimeters away fro it's feet.Suspecting that my presence has somehow been exposed, i let out a little squeak of fear. As if thrilled by it's discovery, this foul being grab the unknown object and turn to my direction at a speed only God can match. I was cornered!! All i could do was to stand my grounds like a true warrior. I lifted up my hands to fend off this unknown liquid that was released with such great force from the unidentified object on it's hands. But alas, my effort was futile! My armour bravely took the hit and bear the grunt of this unspeakable horror.

Ah my beloved t-shirt, ours was but a short and memorable one. The value lies not in the appearance of the shirt, but in the circumstances in which this shirt was given to me. It was injured to a point of which it could barely speak. The best it could do was to illustrate its love for me.

And this unidentified object that was used as the murder weapon..........

Who would have thought, that something this pure and innocent, could do such an unforgivable act of destruction?

2008-03-24T22:53:00.005+08:00

You know when we take photos, we always want to look our best and act as glamorous/cool as we can get.

But for some of us, we just love to look and act stupid.

Even the kangaroo was like "What the heck is wrong with you guys!?!?!"

2008-03-24T13:03:00.002+08:00

Yeah! A one week study break,although its funny how study breaks were meant for you to study...instead of holiday-ing.But if you were to play with words..."study break" does somehow translate to "a break from studying." Either ways i noe my study break is going to be wasted somehow or another. :) :P XD

2008-03-14T00:33:00.003+08:00

Have been watching the Malaysian Dreamgirl till episode 3, and i have to honestly say this, i was expecting more out of the show! The only thing that kept me watching the show, was the backstabbing. My goodness! look at what they said about Ringo. I'm not supporting anyone here but i'm not that dumb to a point where i cant pinpoint a backstab when i see one!I cant wait to see those backstabbers get bombed. If you are good, people would know it immediately,if you are just plain sucky, you dun have to make up ridiculous excuse or shift the blame to someone else just because they are better than you! And kenny sia, the infamous judge and his comments "sex bomb sex bomb sex bomb" Oh my Holy God!! very disgraceful for kuching leh! Now everybody will start thinking that kuching-nians are perverts, makes me prefer the "staying on treetops " comment more. But in all seriousness, the show is still worth watching.There's always a first time for everything, and i'm glad to see that some people are willing to take the risks involved to advance to the next level, unlike most malaysians that prefers the way things are at the moment and not willing to step up to learn/achieve something new. So i did give malaysian dreamgirl a flat 7/10 score. :P

2008-02-28T18:31:00.007+08:00

Its that time of the year again where people are graduating.Gosh! no more exams, no more assignments, no more rushing and no more last minute stresses!However so, we all know that the uni life is one of the best stages in our life, one where many memories are forged and bonds are formed.

Simon,Darrel,Charlyn and I(with the damn kiam siap flower)

Darrel Julie and I

Julie, Charlyn and Karen

Officer Nick,Darrel and I

This is what happens when u put a bunch of idiots together

2008-02-19T12:32:00.006+08:00

Many great things that happened, happens because of the people around you.As much fun as i had with frens in Hk, it was equally just as great with my family.It was the first in 21 yrs of my life that all 5 families when on a trip together.

The ladies and Aunties

We move is such a big group that the moment we stop, we end up blocking the entire path! Its like a whole colony of ants moving from1 spot to another.Even a simple duty of finding a table in a restaurant prove to be a challenging task.You may ask, "How big can 5 families be?"Well here you go;

5 Familes,excluding me cause i took the picture XD

Big Aint it?.......But as hard as it was to maneuver around, we still had a great time just chit chatting with 1 another. The one and only thing that kills me is when they go shopping! My goodness, i have to stand and wait for them for at least 30 mins per shop.Being a guy, going shopping with girls is a natural phobia.

My beloved Family..and my extremely fat bro..kekekkekeke(Guang Zhou)

My family and I in Macau.

It has definitely been a memorable trip for me, one that i'll treasure for the rest of my life. :)

2008-02-18T13:48:00.006+08:00

PART III

This is the continuation of my trip to Hong Kong that i was lazy in posting.
One of the many interesting places that i've been to is the Wax Museum located at 'The Peak'.We had a great time striking many unique poses with the 'look a like' wax figurines.

Who says i cant pwned Bruce Lee!!

Giving the finger to John Howard

I wonder where he's looking at!! XD

There is whole lot more, but i cant squeeze them all in here, so if you wanna have a laugh at the photos, do drop by house . XD
Hong kong is just Hong Kong, and if it werent for my friends there, i wouldnt have possibly enjoyed my trip there.It just wouldnt be possible to enjoy all the delights that Hong Kong has to offer if it werent for them, who took time off just to bring me around.Just like to thank you guys a whole lot for showing me around.I owe you guys big for this.

2008-02-18T01:02:00.004+08:00

It feels kinda weird being back in Perth after spending approximately 3 month in Malaysia.3 month of being pampered by my parents really dulls all my other senses.Now i'm actually missing all that pampering.But life has got to move on.You cant just sit around missing and regretting stuff.However there are things that are worth missing for example;

Kolo Mee, Gubah mee, Red eye, Sio Bee, Metahon, etc.

Deep fried shrimps,sweet potato, yam and tauhu

Nevertheless it is still great to be back and kicking.

2008-02-12T15:06:00.000+08:00

Its been a long time since my last post......and as i promised, its back and running right after chinese new year.Well the main reason why i didnt want to update my blog during that long period was because i was living on a 56k connection.Could you believe how fast 3 months pass in just a blink of an eye.All the china-hongkong-johor-kuching-wacky stuff-food feasting, all gone in just a moment! Sigh! its back to uni-life again i guess.But here is something to cheer up your day, something i found pretty interesting in the "Going Places" MAS magazine.
Seriously.....WTH! How in the world did "Fiery Footie" became "Api dan Bola", which has a whole different meaning??Anyways, "Api dan Bola" is directly translated to "Fire and Ball."

2007-12-11T18:13:00.000+08:00

PART II

One of the most amazing fact that i've learn from my trip is that English is useless in china.Noone bloody understood what i was trying to say.Goodness..u can swear/insult/scold them in all the colours of english, and they wouldnt understand anything at all. The only few words that they understood were "Good" "Bad""thank you" and i think "Fuck" and "shit".I had the most miserable time of my life in china trying to shop or find my way around town.I for once, regretted not learning mandarin.

Who the heck checks out at 12am??

However, hong kong is a totally different scenario.Their understanding of english is, by far, way better.I'm not being bossy about my english,in fact, my english isnt the best,its probably one of the worst if compared to all my other friends, but it is the only language(other than the dreaded BM) i can speak in. :)

This chee cheong fan cost about aud 0.30(RMB2.50)

But of course China has its own good points as well,especially in areas that concerns food.Not only is it generous in its ingredients and size, it is also very cheap.Thank God i went to china with my family and three other uncles, as they all knew how to communicate in mandarin.They did most of the ordering, as the menu were all in mandarin XD.

Seafood Chee cheong fan with vegs and mushrooms(RMB 3)

Roast pork,pork belly, and bbq pork all in one dish

A whole goose cost around RMB 100, in hong kong,it is roughly twice the price.
Just so that you know,a whole goose can easily feed a family of 5.

In hong kong however, the prices of food is about 4-5 times the value of that in China.I personally enjoyed every meal i had in hong kong(i spent most of my money in this area).Their dim sum is unbeatable.I would never ever eat dim sum again in perth,they just couldnt compare in taste and price.Every meal was a meal to remember.

Beef brisket hor fun (HKD 30+)

Sumo Ramen(HKD 40+)

White curry rice(HKD 30-45)

If you are one that enjoys eating regardless of price, than i can assure you that you will most definitely enjoy the wide arrays of dishes in Hong Kong.

I'm finally back from my trip to China and Hong Kong, and i dare say that it is impossible to post up all the photos during the duration of that trip.The best i can do at the moment is to only post up some of the shots that i loved most. :)In short, out of the 4 places Guang Zhou, Shen Zhen, Hong Kong and Macau, i enjoyed myself most in Hong Kong, thanks to the outstanding hospitality given to me by Jack,David,Danny,Stephen and Lewis. Many thanks again guys for making my trip a memorable 1.

This is one heck of an escalator.It is impossible to find an escalator this long in Perth.I know i sound stupid, but i cant help but be amazed by how long most of the escalators are in Hong kong. :P

During my first day in Hong Kong, i've met 2 new friends(the guy on the far left and the only girl in the pic),of which their names i cant remember.I'm pretty bad with names so i do hope you will forgive me.Anyways,i'm amazed at how friendly these guys were to me.They bought snacks for me to try and all that.Furthermore,their finals are coming and yet they could find time to join us for dinner. :)

And btw,when i'm referring to snacks, it is such as the above.That is what they call snacking in hong kong.And of all the things to eat, i was cheated into eating pig's intestines by my so called best friend Jack.It's the worst thing i have ever tasted. XD So much for having a friend like jack.
I'll end this post here.....i'm pretty tired from the trip anyways.I'll be putting up more pics soon.Just need to get some sleepp...zZZzZzz *snore*

2007-11-19T21:36:00.000+08:00

I'm flying off to China this thursday and i will also be in Hong Kong for about a week.If there is any request of anything you want(pls be reasonable,my dad isnt Bill Gates) do let me know before thurs. And for those left in Perth, pls do take care of yourselves.I wouldnt be seeing you guys till Feb next year. Take care and continue to walk with God everyday. :P **All da Best**

2007-11-17T23:13:00.000+08:00

Pls do find it in your heart to forgive me for all this drawing lately.I DO know there are simply quite terrible drawings, but its just my way of de-stressing.And for all those animal rights activist,i'm sorry for killing your beloved flies.Pls dun take me to court for that. XD

Canningvale Market.........i never would have thought i would ever step foot there,i couldnt even believe the fact that i woke up at 5.50am just for that.

Was it an eye opener? Yes
Was it interesting? Depends
Was it worth it? Should be
Will i go there again? Maybe.....but if i can help it no!
Why did i go there in the first place? I accidentally made a promise with Janice to help her out
in the market if she was to prepare dinner for us
What did i learn? Plentiful!Seafood is cheap.Cheap as in extremely
extraordinary-ly out of the world cheap.
The down-side? Because its cheap, you get to see many kiasuism around
especially the aunties and uncles.And you stink of fish!

Baptism

Finally.............after weeks of studies, i'm able to find just enough time to squeeze in an update about my baptism.Well it took place 4 weeks ago..and here is my testimony for those who had missed it both time at the baptism venue and at church last week.Hope that somehow or another, God will be able to reach out to you through my testimony.

Chritianity use to be just a word. To me its only purpose was to categorized people into different groups. I became a Christian without knowing why I became a Christian or how to be one. I don’t even remember when I became a Christian. I was even baptized when I was only a few month old. To me being a Christian was a status and it was like a vip pass to heaven, nothing else. I was a wild person back then. I resort to physical violence and fights to solve problems. My life was filled with drinking,clubbing, gaming and partying. I thought it was the best way to live a fulfilled life. But I was never fulfilled at all. There’s a part of me that always felt empty no mather how much I drank or partied . This lifestyle didn’t change even when I first came to Zion in early 2005, I disliked it. People here were so persistent. You cannot imagine to what length they will go to just to get me to church. Once Kong stole my room key, so that he could drag me out of bed on Sunday morning. But the worst case was Alphonsus banging my room door consistently for 10 -15 min every Sunday morning. I emphasize the word “BANG” not knock. But then it was because of this same group of people that I finally saw what it truly meant to be a Christian. It wasn’t their persistency or their consistent annoyance that changed me. Instead it was how they live their live that moved me. I saw the sacrifices that they would undergo to watch over others. Remember that I said my life was a mess back then and that I’m always involves in fights,and i was basically a failure in almost anything i did, it was bcos of this very factor that even my mum disliked me. She would say how much she regretted having a son like me, and how worthless I was to the family,she use to beat and cane me to the age of 16,besides that, she would prefer to trust others rather than her own son. This was my own mum i'm talking about and there are still parents of others would always tell their children to keep away from me, that no good can come from me, even till today . But despite this, God lit up my life with frens such as alphonsus. When everyone was criticizing me, he prayed for me. While others kept their distances, Gen step out and offered me encouragement. They help me realized that the emptiness I felt inside me was a void that only God could fill. God was the only puzzle piece that filled that gap, nothing else could fit in.Through them, God taught me that a name doesn’t define your life,but it is how you live your life that defines your name. He also showed me that sometimes, our lives are the only bible some people would ever read. Through this I was able to understand that Christianity isn’t just any word, but that Christianity is a lifestyle. And it was because I wanted to be that living bible to others that I decided to rededicate my life to God once again last year, to live my life the way he has called me to. And baptism, baptism was a choice that I made as a public declaration of my obedience to God but ultimately, I wanted to set my heart right with him. It’s the least I can do to put a smile on his face. Thank you

Me after i got dunk in the water.

I'm not much and i'm also an underachiever when compared to my other friends,But my God is big,there isnt one thing i couldnt do when i lean on him. There isnt a day that goes by without him lifting me up.I may not be even close to the standards of the world,but he was proud of me the way i am.There is nothing that i can do to make hime love me less or love me more.Father, this is the least i can do to say thank you.

Exam is just around the corner.Oh boy! Dont you just love the exam season?It brings so much joy to my heart! *sarcastic laughters*

I love this shot!It is in fact, overgrown weeds outside my house.If you were to just pass by my house u would be thinking "what a jungle."All of us are lazy to do the gardening so we just let the weeds and grass grow as they please.But the point is, no mather how messy and untidy the weeds are, if you look at it in a different point of view(as above) it becomes beautiful.Just like all the circumstances we face in our life.If you choose to see it's ugly side, then it will always be ugly.But if you would just let God shine in all those circumstances, be it hard or good times, it will become an array of beautiful moments.How will you view tough times? will you view it as moments of agony and heartache, or do you see an opportunity to learn,grow and let God shine.Afterall dependance on God is another word for power.Dont look and grieve at the smaller picture,instead let God paint the bigger picture through your circumstances.Is there anything that He who had chosen the nails for you ,couldnt do?

Rugby World Cup

Australia 10-12 England.

We lost..........i couldnt put in any other way.A lost is a lost.We just have to take it as it is,learn from it, and grow stronger out of it.

But then again, we gave the Englishmen one hell of a game.We made sure they had to fight hard and bleed it out to take the victory that was rightfully ours.They can cheer and drink themselves silly, but at the end of the day, they cant keep the truth hidden,they probably cant even handle the truth........the Wallbies deserves the win more than they ever did.

The old days

I’ve been very caught up lately with studies, assignments, financial management and cell group. I’m always, if not all the time, positive about things around me, but lately when I started to lose focus, i realized that I became more negative towards things. It’s just those times when you aren’t contented with what you have and you start yearning for more…and more..and more, and when you cant have it, you become resentful. So I ask myself, why am I not satisfied with where I am now?

Looking back into the past and what I’ve been then, and what I’m now, makes me wonder, what could I have been now it wasn’t for Jesus? Why am I so different from before? Why am I in a better situation now then I was before, then most people in the world?

God made me see the differences in me, he gently reminded me of all the times I got myself into trouble and all the times he pulled me out of it. He placed friends in my life that probably changed my entire self over time. What I needed, I did not lack, however, what I wanted was never satisfied. Then it hit me, the reason why I wasn’t contented with the way I’m going now: I was focusing on what the world wants , what the world offers and what the world demands of me. I was jealous that people have a Ferari to drive in, with their name as their car plate number at my age, while I have to walk,

I was jealous that others are so rich that they can afford to fail over and over again, and still have a chance to graduate. I’m jealous that some people can have whatever they want whenever they wish for it, while others can merely dream of it. I was jealous with the world, and had forgotten what I already have.

I have friends

I have people who cares for me, prays for me, and accepted me as one of them without judging me from the past nor the present.

I have food on my table whenever I’m hungry when half the world is dying from hunger.

I have a fully functioning body: hands that moves normally, legs to bring me around,
Eyes to admire all that God has created, ears to listen, mouth to taste, bullcrap and build up a person, nose to smell and finally my “little brother” for future uses I will not mention as of the moment. :P

I have my beloved room where I game, study, sleep and spend personal time with God.

I also have things to laugh at and be happy about all the times

And when I look at all this things, I ask myself again, why am I not contented? In every scenario possible, God provided. When I’m broke, my housemates cook for me, and occasionally treats me to dinner, when I don have a car to get around, people are more then willing to fetch me around or offer me their car to drive in, when I’m sick, frens cook, pray and clean up my dishes for me, when I’m struggling in studies, frens are they to waste their time in teaching me when they can surely choose to ignore me and have fun. I have everything I need and all that I need I have.

And if all that still isn’t enough, I have a God that watches over me, that provides without hesitating, that gives me many opportunities in different scenarios, that made such a wonderful thing called a sunset, and I’m very blessed to be able to see and enjoy a glimpse of the beauties and wonders of what my God have in store for me.

*I ask for all things that i may enjoy life, but i was given life that i may enjoy all things*

People have been talking bout this movie and how heart breaking it was,so i decided to watch and experience it myself.Did i cry at the end....No!(i must be a very cold blooded person),but was i deeply moved...Yes!Different people have their on views about this movie, and so do i.

The scene where John Coffey was executed on the electric chair was just overwhelming.I couldnt help but feel dejected and torn up inside by seeing an innocent man being sentenced to death.I put myself in God's shoes and felt what God felt when Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross.I felt how much love God had for his son,and how much it must have broken his heart to see his son crucified for us.I felt the same pain in my heart.

Then i put myself in Jesus's shoes.How he must have felt the night before his crucification,how he must have felt walking down his "green mile" and how he must have felt being nailed to the cross.We all know Jesus has the same feeling and thought as all of us do.He felt fear,pain and sorrow just like John Coffey.But both of them didnt pull away despite the sorrow and fear in their heart,both embrace it till the end, and both never blame anyone,even when they were mocked at and insulted, they both forgave.Jesus did it all out of love for us,despite everything,he chose the nails to love and forgive us.Jesus could have chosen to say "to hell with you all,why should i put up with death for your sins,if yo u want salvation, earn it yourself."I bet all of you thought the same way when John Coffey was about to be electrocuted,"Why must he die?He never killed the two girls,he performs miracles to save others..so why him?"And here we have Jesus in the same position, innocent.But he chose to bear the pain and suffereings for us.He looked beyond his death to see your face...to see my face..to see all our faces,and i believe that he said this to himself,"It is worthy,your life, my life, and all our lives,It is worth it."John Coffey was offered a chance to run away,heck he could even break free himself if he wanted to,but he didnt,innocent as he was. Same with Jesus ,Jesus could have saved himself too,after all, he is the son of God,he has the power to do so.But he loved us ,he loved us so much........that he chose the nails.
Think about it for awhile.

Remember the touch rugby game that i mentioned in the previous post,well here is part of team.We are still recruiting members and hopefully,we might make it for the beach touch rugby tournament next year.

2007-09-23T01:28:00.000+08:00

I've recently been involved in touch rugby......roughly a month ago.Well just bringing out the word "rugby", i assumed most if not all of you would be thinking big muscle,hot wild hunks,broken bones,head on clash, all out to kill.. sort of sport.Well i would like to tell you that i'm some big, muscular, hot, barbaric man...............................but i'm not...and the game called touch rugby isnt too.Well to explain touch rugby....is to simply say.....fast,agile,smart and cunning just like road-runner.It isnt all about breaking your opponent's bones or kicking some dumb oval ball through two post to earn points(like the AFl).What i can say is that its fun tiring and fun.So if any of you guys here in Perth are interested, join us at the Curtin football field near the dodgy looking gym on sundays at 3.30pm sharp.And btw,there's badminton later at 6pm at Wesley college,south Perth.

2007-09-10T00:19:00.000+08:00

The "Grace" ball marks the 10th anniversary of Zion Praise Harvest,and was held at the Perth Convention centre.It's remarkable how once a small church of 16 people grew to a church of 500++ people, it's amazing how much it has endures,only to pull through bigger and stronger , how touching it was to learn about all those life that was transformed by God through this church,how unbelievable those miracles that occured by the power of Jesus within this church, and how truly grateful i am to be changed by it.Here is the ball, where everyone turns up not by just dressing up nice or looking hotter than venus, but we are all there to give thanks for the grace God has shown to the church in the past 10 yrs and the many years more that are to come.It wasny only A "Ball"....it was a Ball that challenges us to dare dream for more,to have a bigger vision but most importantly to have a heart that gives and be grateful for all that He has and is going to do.

Yee Mei is a pretty interesting woman.Even at the age of 25, she doesnt act like those snobbish working upper-class,all glamorous, money,fame and looks is everything kinda woman.In fact, she has the characteristics of a young out-going, supportive,encouraging and joyful teenage girl.Despite that fact, she gives very good and mature advices ,plus......she can cook pretty well too.She always tries to change my preceptions about girls.Maybe...just maybe..someday she would succeed. :P
