Because He lives

I can face tomorrow

Because He lives

All fear is gone

And because I know, Yes I know,

He holds the future

and life is worth the living just because He lives

God gave His best

As I forced myself to wake up this morning for 'Bless Campus', I'm reminded on what it means to serve not out of convenience..but sacrifice. To give God my best and not my leftover. A good reminder for me after Good Friday and right before Easter celebration :) because that's what God did - He sacrificed His Son and gave us His best. so that we can now live for Him.

Besides, I've learnt a lot from Edmond, the man of little words. haha 

Carmen: Edmond, actually you don't have to do this already..it's ok one. *the malas person talking*

Edmond: I want to clean it thoroughly *continue wiping the railings*

Who says first years can't teach their seniors some good lessons? ;)

Wake-up call

If only we learn to look a little bit further than just focusing on ourselves, we will soon realize that there is a dying world out there that need us to do something about it.. There are so many things that we value.. but not all things will last for eternity. Maybe all the time that we use to dwell in our own world or even self-pity, can be used to impact the lives around us. I wonder how many people lose their lives today without knowing that there is a God who loves them very much? "Actually still got time".. Really? Where is our sense of urgency? Where is my sense of urgency?

Ah Pua

My grandma :) I really love her.

In the midst of busyness, I forgot about what's really important to me. It's time to reprioritize. I hardly see her since last sem, except during chinese new year. She would ask me, "What big business are you doing?" (in 'seng neng', a cina dialect). Then I would reply, "Very very big haha."

The sudden message from my aunt really freaked me out. Thank God that it was not very serious. Nevertheless, it was like a wake up call to me. Time is running out. But it's tough..and I'm afraid. It's scary sometimes to stand alone. 

"Be still and know that I am God."

Only God can do the impossible.

Even though I am free of the demands and expectations of everyone, I have voluntarily become a servant to any and all in order to reach a wide range of people: religious, nonreligious, meticulous moralists, loose-living immoralists, the defeated, the demoralized—whoever. I didn’t take on their way of life. I kept my bearings in Christ—but I entered their world and tried to experience things from their point of view. I’ve become just about every sort of servant there is in my attempts to lead those I meet into a God-saved life. I did all this because of the Message. I didn’t just want to talk about it; I wanted to be in on it!

You’ve all been to the stadium and seen the athletes race. Everyone runs; one wins. Run to win. All good athletes train hard. They do it for a gold medal that tarnishes and fades. You’re after one that’s gold eternally.

I don’t know about you, but I’m running hard for the finish line. I’m giving it everything I’ve got. No sloppy living for me! I’m staying alert and in top condition. I’m not going to get caught napping, telling everyone else all about it and then missing out myself.

1 Corinthians 9:19-23 (The MSG)

Wow. Uncle Paul..just so keng!

Like 'Jonathan & David'

Three years. How time flies wei.. I still remember when we first met, you were sitting right in front of me with your golden-dyed hair. You seriously freaked me out haha and your crazyness is not what ordinary people can comprehend hahaha However, you are one of the most influential person that I've ever met in my life :) 

'Jonathan and David'. That's what she always say to me :)

I'm always thankful to God for her. Thankful to God for this friendship that is God-centered. Always pointing me back to God. I hope to be able to do the same for you, Fong Wan :) let's embrace the remaining days.hahaa

ps: Since I don't have the opportunity to wear specs, I think I'm gonna get myself a fake one! :p

Carmen went jogging!

I did something very unusual today. I went jogging.. can you believe it? hahahaha I can't even believe myself :p hahahaha and I'm laughing as I'm typing this hahahaha anyway, yes may the truth set you free! ahahahha

apala, 3 years in USM already, baru first time running on the track

They say better late than neverrr :p 

I went alone..after FES thanksgiving and office dedication service haha but it was so nice! :) I wanted to jog 3 rounds only but then I managed to complete 4.. (bangga haha) and then it started raining, so I stopped. I think I will challenge myself to do 5 next time :D 

After jogging, I was sitting at the top area there..so nice! and I was reflecting a bit la, sign of aging haha on these 3 years here in USM.. I can't help but to be very grateful to God..how He has been good to me.. and still is :) time flies.

I was also thinking la about the things that I want to do for this coming long semester break.. still not sure. There are friends who suggest to me the things that I can do..things which I think will be good for me too.. but I think it's time for me to ask God, "What do You want me to do? since You know what's best for me." still praying ;)

Let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.

it was really a good me-and-God time.

"Start well, finish well."

Sometimes when we decide to go for a certain event or an activity, the reason may not always has to be because it will be beneficial to us.. it could be simply because your presence will be an encouragement to some people, people whom you know have been working really hard behind the scenes.

Nevertheless, there are always lessons that we can pick up :)

random, rojak, quick updates!

Hohoho! Went for Marshall's with Nic and Alie! Yumssss! Yes, be jealous!! HAHAHA

Performed a 'stepping' dance during women's conference last weekend. Man, I was so bad at this.. haha I was like always one second slower than the others :X

btw, it was also my first time dancing in my new shoes! :D 

Say 'Hello' to my new friend, Pamara. hahah met her during women's conference. She was just sitting beside me and we started talking. We have so many things in common! From our conversation, we realised that we studied in the same primary school (skbl), high school (sggs) and surprisingly she was also from USM and PKA! but we have not met each other before this hahaha she graduated 3 years ago. So she is like my senior :D the coolest thing is she also accepted Christ 4-5 years ago :)

One of the things that I bought with RM250 voucher. hehehe can't wait to start on this new journal!! :) :)


I've stopped insanity for 5 days. hahaa or is it 6? hmmm.. susah la, nak exercise all haha but i shall not give up! yes! I must not let Shaun's prophecy comes true. it's time to start again today! *semangat*

Guarding hearts

I always believe in this lar.. if we do not have feelings for someone from the opposite sex, we shouldn't do things or say things that will lead them on. I think it's really important to learn to guard our brothers' or sisters' hearts. I remember when I was in my first year, I told Mike, "Eh you don't like me ok? I sayang you like a brother" out of a sudden while we were chatting hahaha looking back, it was kinda funny.. His response was like "Why you so perasan? I don't have any feelings for you!" hahahaha why did I even said that? :p aiya just to make sure ma..because we are quite close haha but maybe I should have said it in a better way.. oh well, it's ok.. he is my faithful servant after all :) I think it's not good to give others false hope.. or playing with one's feelings.. because I wouldn't want someone I like to do that to me too.

PKA Family Camp 2013: Getting into Gear (GG camp)

So.. we just came back from PKA Family Camp! :) Praise God for everything -all the planning, campers, speaker, sponsorship, etc! We're very privileged to have Mr.Goh with us this time :) One of the things that stayed with me until now is "If you do not have discipline within yourself, you are already defeated." How true. There are things that I need to begin to challenge myself to do and practice them diligently. May God be my source of strength.

Also received a lot of notes of encouragement. Actually I feel very undeserving of all the good things that were said about me in those notes..really, but I'm thankful :) and to those who remained anonymous, thank you thank you thank you.. glory goes to God :)

My camp group, Thunderbird! :)

"Serious" group photo haha.. 

"it's a.. Thunder!"

"it's a..Bird!"

"It's...thunderbird!!" 

*jeng jeng jeng jeng jeng* :D

Wai Quan, I always thank God for you. 

Wouldn't be able to make it until now without you :)
I hope to be able to support you and walk alongside you in all the ways that I can..
because you always do the same for me :)

Do you see what this means- all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we'd better get on with it. Strip down, start running- and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we're in. Hebrews 12:1-2

Thank God for the amazing view, amazing place, 

amazing food and people! 

:)

Thank you Lord for this Family.
You're a God who deserves my all.
