8.9 earthquake

First time ever in my life, I felt earthquake! Tremor to be exact. It was a very scary experience.. I was reading my book in front of my laptop, suddenly everything vibrates!

Papa: Mummy, are you shaking the sofa?
Mum : No.

Then we looked at each other..

Papa, Mum, Me: Earthquake!!

We ran out from our house and waited for 1 minute or so. I can feel my whole body shaking. The ground is vibrating. I can see the gates vibrating too! I was praying like crazy. Some thoughts came to me..

Are we gonna die today?
Will tsunami hit Penang island?
Is Jesus coming back now?
Will my house runtuh?

But one thing that concern me most..is still the salvation of my family members. If I am to die now, one thing that will concern me most is not whether I have gotten married.. but whether my family members already know how much Jesus loves them. They must not die without experiencing God in their lives.
Many people say "All religions are the same."
NO.
No. It's not the same. Yes, all religions direct us to do good works but good works cannot help us to get into heaven. We are not saved by good works because our good works are never too good! No matter how much good works we do, we are still selfish, disobedient, prideful, etc..and the wages of sin is death. Jesus paid a price on the cross to take away our sins so that those of us who believe in Him will have eternal life through Him. It is His love that compels us to do good works.


Many of us just follow our parents/ancestors' footstep.
Why do you worship the God that you're worshiping?
Have you ever asked yourself 'why'? besides just following?
Think for yourself. Search for yourself.
Heaven is real.
Hell is as real.

Throughout this whole incident, I've also been checking updates on Facebook. One thing that I really cannot tahan is I see people especially young people, posting their updates such as "Wah actually quite syiok to experience tremor for the first time." and comments like "Tsunami sounds sooo fun." First of all, I do not know what is so syiok about all these things. Secondly, I wonder whether you're cold-blooded or you're just being ignorant? Did you think about those victims in Acheh? Those people who are deeply affected? What is your problem?? I'm really very angry at you people who posted these kind of comments. 5A's or 10A's, no difference lah because all that didn't make you a better person! If these are the leaders of tomorrow that we are raising, I am really very concern.
