The Close Stranger

December

2010-12-30T23:47:00.006+08:00

Started my internship beginning of this month, working as an intern in Pathlab Petaling Jaya. It has been 30 days since I started, sometimes it was exciting and some other times it was gloomy and dull. I made a number of friends there and they are cool, made my working experience more exciting. I started working in Biochem department and currently in EIA (Enzyme Immunoassay). I will get transferred to Haematology and Microbiology department in January. I do not want to say much about the experience I had so far but I really hope I will be able to learn as much as I can and use it in the future. December passed really fast and I still cannot believe that today is already the last day of it. Hoping for an exciting new year of 2011. I strongly believe that 2011 will completely be a new turnover in my life, things will be different (other than the fact that I am turning 21 years old). This year's Christmas was really happening for me, too bad it was without my parents but I still going to see them in January because they are coming here to attend my cousin's wedding.

Surabaya

2010-06-28T23:54:00.005+08:00

Currently I'm back in Surabaya. It's great to finally meet my parents and being with my family here. I supposed to leave Malaysia on Saturday 10.30pm. However, the flight was delayed until 12am. So I left on Sunday and I reached Surabaya at 2am local time, ie 3am Malaysian time. Once I reached, went back home and ate the fried duck from nearby stall of my house. The duck from that stall is super duper niceee... The meat is so tender and the sauce and chili sauce are also amazing. So after that I slept and woke up at 12pm in the afternoon. Then, me and my parents went to next city called Mojokerto to pick my brother there and to visit my auntie. Had a long chat with my auntie's family (actually my mom had a long chat, I just listened to them). And so today, which is Monday, we went to mobile phones shopping mall and computer shopping mall. Went around to check prices for my new phone, Nokia e72. After I compared all the prices, the price in Malaysia is still cheaper, so I'm buying it later when I come back to Malaysia. My dad bought a computer for my aunt in Mojokerto because she needs it for her restaurant administration. Then the night we went to eat Nasi Campur!! It is basically a rice with kerupuk, kacang sauce, vegetables, and some other stuffs. But you can order other stuffs as well such as fried chicken, fried corn, fried brain (cow brain), etc. After the dinner, my dad went for medical check up. Well, we do not know the result today, but the doctor said most probably it is going to be okay, ie not serious disease. Praise God for that. Well tomorrow is the real deal, I pray to God that everything is gonna be alright. If anyone happen to read this blog, help me in prayer k! Thanks.

That's all for now.

Mizz Nina feat.Colby O'Donis - What you waiting for

2010-06-23T11:42:00.000+08:00

This song is not bad...

Wohooo

2010-06-21T21:16:00.002+08:00

Okay, done with microbiology... One more to go, that is physiology paper 2. Physiology paper is on Friday. Still got so much time to study, I can relax a bit :P. Ahh going back on Saturday to Indo. So many things I want to buy. Ok, I'm gonna make a list of what I want to buy and hopefully, I can get most of them. Of course it is almost impossible to get all the things.... because of financial limitation. haha

Wishlist:
1. New phone
2. Clothes; shorts, long jeans, nice t-shirt, coat, belt and formal shirt
3. Cologne
4. Sunglasses
5. Wireless mouse

Currently there are 5 of them. That would cost a lot if I get all of them. Just hope for the best :D.

Microbiology - Microbial Growth

2010-06-20T19:31:00.003+08:00

Biocidal Agent = Agent that effectively destroy or remove target cells
Biostatic Agent = Agent that inhibits growth but do not kill organism

Physical Agents for Sterilization
- Heat (dry and moist)
- Ionizing Radiation
Gaseous Chemical Sterilants
- Ethylene oxide gas
- Gas plasma (hydrogen peroxide vapour)
- Formaldehyde vapour
Liquid Chemical Sterilants
- Peracetic acid
- 2% glutaraldehyde

Moist heat, in the form of boiling water is very efficient as rapid and effective decontaminating agent. At 65 degree or above, it denatures of cells components progressively. Bacterial spores are very resistant and therefore, to cause any effect to spores the temperature must be above 100 degree C. Autoclave is a method to sterilize spores by using saturated steam.

Dry heat, examples are hot air oven and incineration. Hot air oven is used to sterilize laboratory glassware, oils, waxes and powders. Dry heat sterilization takes a long time and thus, it is one of the major disadvantages.

Ionizing radiation is suitable to sterilize single-use medical devices while ethylene dioxide gas is suitable for heat-sensitive reprocessable items.

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is used to disinfect air. But it has poor powers of penetration and thus, its use is limited.

Bacteria endospores are thermoduric, ie they can survive at 100 degree C exposure. Moist heat sterilization parameters are 121 degree C and 101kPa for 15 mins (for liquid) and 134 degree C and 203kPa for 3 mins (medical equipment and surgical linen).

Steam is ideal sterilant because it is rapid, efficient and non-toxic. It kills cells by denaturing their components resulting in the loss of function and death.

Biological indicators can be used to monitor sterilization process. Bacillus stearothermophilus spores can be used as "spore strip" in steam sterilization.

Autoclave process consists of 3 phases. Penetration time, holding time and cooling time.

Microbiology - Yeasts and Moulds

2010-06-20T16:16:00.005+08:00

Mycology is the study of Fungi

Moulds
Filamentous fungi - also called as moulds, they are:
- multicellular
- lack of chlorophyll
- Hyphae present, may have septate
- Mats of vegetative hyphae + spores on aerial hyphae = mycelium

Asexual reproduction
- Fragmentation of septate hyphae = arthrospores
- In sac = sporangium
- naked in conidiophore = conidiospores

Sexual reproduction
- Zygomycota = zygospores
- Ascomycota = ascospores
- Basidiomycota = basidiospores

Yeast
- single-celled organism
- larger than bacterial cells
- produce asexually by budding or binary fission
- Sexually reproduce by thick-walled ascospores

Yeast and Moulds:
- Preferred temperature at 20-30 degree Celcius
- Prefer slightly acidic pH
- Grow slower than bacteria, 2-3 days for visible growth
- Saprophytes, break down complex to simple

Filamentous fungi
- Thick, powdery, spreading mat (may be white, or black)

Dimorphic
- Fungi that can form either filamentous or yeast form

Pseudophypae = Not true hyphae, single cells joined in chains

Penicillium notatum
- yellowish agar, fibrous, powdery, greenish black
Aspergillus niger
- Yellowish agar, black colony, powdery

The main purpose of slide culture technique is to observe appearance of fungi's intact vegetative and reproductive structures.

Fungi growth at 20-30 degree C, that is in the region of tropical area. This is because this area has high level of moisture, in which it promotes the growth of fungi.

The selective media, that is MEA; inhibits the growth of bacteria and promotes the growth of fungi because it is slightly acidic and contains high level of sugar.

Fungi have spores and hyphae, these reproduction structures are important for the identification of fungi.

Microbiology - Aseptic Technique

2010-06-20T14:59:00.005+08:00

Different types of agar:
Nutrient Agar (NA) plate
- Suitable for the growth of almost all bacteria
Malt Extract Agar (MEA) plate
- Acidic, inhibit bacteria growth. Suitable to isolate yeast and moulds
Horse Blood Agar (HBA) plate
- Agar with blood added to it. Suitable for pathogenic bacteria growth. Can be used to identify hemolytic ability of certain bacteria
Tryptone Soy Agar (TSA) plate
- Contains enzymatic digest of casein and soybean. Should be for the growth of Staphylococcus aureus
Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) plate
- Selective and differential agar with the addition of mannitol and phenol red. S.aureus uses mannitol to produce acidic end product which turn the medium from pink to yellow. S.epidermidis and S.saprophyticus cannot use mannitol. The high salt concentration inhibits many other bacteria, this is the selective property. The mannitol is the differential property.

Other Test
Catalase test
- The use of H2O2 to test the presence of aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria. If positive, oxygen gas is formed in the form of bubbles
Coagulase test
- The use of coagulase to detect S.aureus. If positive, clumping formed

Temperature plays an important role in the growth of bacteria. Incubation at 37 degree C promotes the growth of pathogenic bacteria or fungi. That is the normal body temperature.

Microbiology - Morphology of Bacteria

2010-06-20T05:11:00.004+08:00

Different types of stains
Ziehl-Neelsen/Kinyoun's Stain
- To stain acid fast bacteria that cannot be stain by using Gram staining. eg Mycobacterium and Nocardia species
Neisser Stain
- To stain metachromatic granules
Schaeffer & Fulton Stain
- To stain endospores
India Ink/Maneval's Stain
- To stain capsules

Methods to study motility (presence of flagella)
- MAST method
- Hanging drop method
- Craigie tube method

Bacteria Characteristics
Micrococcus luteus
- Gram positive, cocci, clusters, oxidase positive, yellow and small colonies
Streptococcus pneumoniae
- Gram positive, alpha-haemolytic, cocci
Clostridium sp.
- Gram positive, rod, beta-hemolytic, singly, endospores
Proteus vulgaris and Proteus mirabilis
- Motile, rod, Gram negative
Klebsiella spp.
- Gram negative, rod, capsule
Streptococcus pneumoniae
- Capsule
Bacillus cereus
- Endospore

Some organisms form different arrangements, can be singly, tetrads, chain, or cluster. The reason is because of the plane of division.

Endospores have thick layer of protein coat, it can be located at the central, sub-terminal or terminal. It is difficult to stain endospore because they have low permeability to dyes and also they are resistant to dyes due to multiple coats surrounding the endospore.

Motile organisms can move away from undesirable environment towards desirable one. For example, chemotaxis, the movement towards desired nutrients available.

Bacteria with capsule present have the ability to avoid phagocytosis and dehydration. These features enable them to attach to host.

Microbiology - Isolation of Pure Cultures

2010-06-20T05:10:00.001+08:00

Writing some stuffs about Microbiology... for my exam :)

Several ways to obtain pure cultures:
1. Streak Plate - Simplest and most widely used. Keywords: Primary inoculum
2. Spread Plate - Quantitative determination. Keywords: dilution factor, agar surface
3. Pour plate - Quantitative determination. Keywords: dilution factor, throughout agar

Gram Staining:
1. Crystal violet blue - 30 secs, blue color
2. Iodine - 30 secs, combine with crystal violet to produce CV-1 complex
3. Decolorising agent - 5 secs (Important step), not too long and not too fast
4. Safranin - 30 secs - pink/red color

Bacillus cereus
- Gram positive, large colony, rod shape, chain
Escherichia coli
- Gram negative, rod shape, medium sized colony, singly
Staphylococcus aureus
- Gram positive, cluster, small colony, cocci

Agar is used rather than gelatin for making solid media because agar is relatively inert, ie does not degrade the enzyme of certain bacteria. Also, agar has higher melting point than gelatin. Most bacteria have optimum growth at 37 degree Celcius. At this temperature gelatin is still in its liquid form, so agar is preferred. Another reason is because some bacteria can use gelatin as their nutrient source, resulting in the liquefaction of the gel.

During isolation of bacteria, some colonies appear larger than the others. These colonies are usually the separated colonies. The reason for this is because separated or isolated colonies have more nutrient for growth compared to the others. They do not have to compete for nutrients and therefore they grow larger.

During smearing of the Gram staining method, taking large amount of bacteria from colony should be avoided as this would result in dense smear. Dense smear will cause difficulty in observing bacteria from the microscope because they overlap each other.

The peptidoglycan layer of the cell wall of bacteria determine their reaction to Gram staining. Gram positive bacteria have thick peptidoglycan layer, this layer traps the dyes. When crystal violet blue is added, the peptidoglycan layer traps the dye and prevent alcohol from decolorising it. On the other hand, Gram negative bacteria have thin peptidoglycan layer and thus, the dyes trapped in the cell wall can be easily decolorised by alcohol. The decolorisng step of Gram staining is the most important step. The reason is because when it is applied for too long, the dyes trapped in the cell wall of Gram positive bacteria might be released or decolorised. Or, when the decolorising agent is applied for too short, the dyes in Gram negative bacteria might not yet decolorised. This will give inaccurate results.

Physically Hungry, Spiritually Satiated

2010-06-12T21:14:00.002+08:00

Fasting for today. This should be the second or third time I'm fasting. Yesterday I planned to fast for today, to keep me strong in my faith. I'm so hungryy!!! Tomorrow will break the fast. I got tempted many times to eat, haha and my stomach was like screaming for food. Been studying the whole day, can't really focus because of the hunger. Everytime I can't focus, I prayed. Ahhh, I'm so worried for microbiology paper on Monday. I really hope I can do extremely well on that paper, God please open my mind for wisdom and knowledge for this paper and the rest. Thank you, amen.

Worship Songs

2010-06-12T02:22:00.002+08:00

Some worship songs to sing during devotion :). God is just so amazing. I just want to thank God for the miracle he did to my family. You are just so magnificent. I wish to be able to seek Your kingdom everyday of my life. Seeking Your kingdom and loving You first would be my first priority.

Why do I blog???
Actually I feel so lazy to blog, but I don't like to see my blog being outdated for so long. But yeah, it has been outdated since last year.... until now. Many things have changed in the past few months, they always changed. I just finished my 3rd semester, in exam season now. Got to study really hard, I feel my course is really really tough. It is sucks to know that sometimes we study really hard but the outcome just not as good as we expected it to be. Well, I believe all of us have our own talent. As long as we make full use of our talent that God has given to us, it is fine.

It is in the mid of 2010 right now, I feel yesterday was still in January. Twenty years old this year, more responsibilities to come. Going to graduate next year October, if I don't take honor. What am I gonna do once I'm graduate??? Really concern about it... I'm thinking of continuing my study, to take Master course. But now, I'm still concerning about my results in Monash, hopefully I will be able to take honor. IF, everything go accordingly, I would like to continue my study in German or Holland. I have checked for German, Master course would cost me 500 Euro per semester and living cost around 600-700 Euro per month. For Holland, haven't check them yet. However, if things did not go accordingly, I have to start working. I tried to search in Google for salary of Science fresh graduate. In Malaysia, fresh graduate will get paid for only RM1500-2000 per month. That is really low.... Besides, the chance I will get a job in Malaysia is very low. In Singapore, salary is around SGD2000-2500 per month. I would love to get a job in Singapore. Another option is in Freeport Mining Company in Indonesia. My dad is working there. I haven't really check for this one but I predict I would get 5 million rupiah per month. That is around RM1700. However, many facilities are provided including accomodation, foods, health and others. So I can save much of salary. But that place is kinda outreached, meaning it is in a remote place where there is no shopping mall, no entertainment. Not good for a long term stay. I'm thinking of working for about 3 years after I graduate, then start my own business. What business??? I have no idea for now. Been thinking of making traditional drugs from herbs, producing them in tablets or other forms that are convenient to consumed.

By the way, missed Asia Conference 2010... ahh, but I could not come anyway because of assignments and exams. I heard many great speakers came, must be awesome. Last month Dr John Avanzini came and challenged us to give pledge for our stewardship. Honestly, I was planning not to give as I already stretched with my living expenses. But after some further consideration, I pledged. I know we should not give so that we can actually be given something. But we should also give with expectancy because God is a great God who always return our giving, not always in the form of money or possessions. I told God that I would like to believe in healing of my dad and auntie. Few months ago Pastor Kevin also asked all of us to believe in miracle. I believe miracle will take place in my family. Not ready to see any unwanted things to happen, just not ready yet...

Doubt people will read my blog as it was inactive for so long. Anyway, if you are a fan of strategy game, Starcraft II is coming out. In closed beta right now, but I heard will open in July. You can pre-order the game from amazon for around 70USD, ouch that is expensive. Also, I really need a new phone!!!! My k800i is like.... quite outdated. Should I get e72 or blackberry?? If I get blackberry I need to go for the plan or else it is no use. But if I take the plan, I need to spare some of my allowance to pay the monthly fee. Ish, everyone is using blackberry now. However, for the same specifications, e72 would cost lesser compared to blackberry.

That's all for now, off to study.

One of My Worst... Month

2009-09-14T23:00:00.002+08:00

This month, so far has been so depressing. Still on the 14th of September, but my spending is already gone too much. No idea how am I going to survive this month. So many unexpected things I had to pay so far. Starting with my car, the radiator cover was leak and I had to pay RM400 to repair it. Well, I did not paid entirely since luckily my dad helped me, but I still had to pay some. Next, mission fund, which I have not fulfilled yet. Then, I just scratched someone's car, so I paid for it. The list goes on and on. The car has been giving me so much stress and problems. Now I feel like not wanting to have a car anymore. Uni has been giving me so much stress as well with the assignments, reports and all. Writing this out to relieve myself......

End,
Damian

Some Thoughts

2009-09-12T01:50:00.006+08:00

In our world today, sometimes we are just so used to our daily routine. We did it daily, weekly, monthly and even yearly. It is actually a good thing to keep us on our track. However, we also need improvisation. Sometimes when things are done repeatedly without any second thought, it becomes dull or empty, it loses its purpose.

So, I just feel that some of the things I'm doing right now are just so empty, it gives no meaning. Well, I need to improvise them but it is not an easy thing to do since there are many other factors as well.

Next topic, it is about success in my opinion. The success I'm talking about here is in terms of financial and job success. I personally do not believe that success person has to be those who score well in their studies. It does not have to be like that. I think success person is those who never give up, hard working and determined. The ability to interact and communicate are also important. Honesty is as much as important as well.

In our daily life, sometimes we criticize others. We criticize small mistakes as they are big problems. I do face this problem sometimes. I put my pride too high that I looked down on people, thinking that I'm the Mr.Wise.
Sometimes we focused too much of the outside things and neglecting our-self. When we neglect our-self too much, we can become more like those we never thought we can be.

Here in my topic, I am not trying to show anything. I am just telling out my experience, things that I've done and my opinions.

Wash Your Hands!!!

Randomness

2009-08-05T23:54:00.002+08:00

It s an obscurely night, silent and with clouds covering the stars. The room is empty leaving me sitting on the chair. I stared the clock and and its single movement, my mind is thinking hard of something. Thinking of what to write on this post.

Actually I don't know what to write. So I made that long introduction.

So I just tell you something about the title of this blog, "The Close Stranger". I wanted to create an interesting title but I couldn't think of one, but after I looked at my pre-U English novel, "The Outsiders", I got inspired and so the title of this blog was created.

Anyway, it is Malaysia Mega Sale season right now. Any idea what to buy? I'm thinking of going to Pavilion or Mid Valley to search for a shirt or maybe some clothes. Any brands to recommend maybe? I think Zara should be nice, or Banana Republic, or maybe Polo Hause. Haven't make up my mind yet.

And now, talk about songs. Some songs I would recommend in case your are running out of songs are; You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift, Love Story by Utada Hikaru, Evolution by Ayumi Hamasaki, California by Phantom Planet.

Next, church stuffs. Pastor Mike Connell is coming to City Harvest Church KL this week on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And in case you are interested in hearing out his sermons or to get prayed by him, check out this website www.chc.org.my

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!

2009-07-03T01:17:00.002+08:00

Happy birthday to myself....!!! 2nd July.
I celebrated it with working in the afternoon man!!! haha...
However, I was surprised with the birthday surprise my friends made for me. So, Patrick, Steven, Kah Chun and John went to lunchbox to surprised me. I didn't expect that. Had lunch there, great food, great fellowship. Well, was a great day. And for the first time I received over around 100 posts in my facebook. I didn't really count it but my hotmail inbox has over 99+ mails from facebook.

Bottom line, Thank You Very much for the wishes. Really meant a lot for me and I pray God will bless all of you. =D

Better Template

2009-06-24T17:02:00.004+08:00

Yo,
I think this template is much better than the previous one.
I got this template from http://btemplates.com
Great website. But I got some of my sidebars deleted. I guess I have to make a new one again.

Some funny videos

2009-06-19T09:26:00.005+08:00

Great day

2009-06-19T08:24:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, which is Thursday was a great day. I had my exam yesterday, it was biology paper. We had 144 questions, but luckily all of them were multiple choice. So, I handed in my paper 10 minutes earlier before the times up. The paper was quite tough... hopefully I will be able to pass or get distinction. After that, I went to cc with Ruben... Played some games and then we drank drinks while waiting for Steven to come. After Steven came, we continued to play until 6 in the evening. After finished, I went to pyramid to see my ayi and her family. They came to Malaysia to have a holiday here. I went around walking in the pyramid with my cousins... They bought the seed with some words carved on it to be given as souvenirs. Then we ate at BBQ Plaza, had a great time there. After that, Feli (my cousin) went to Adidas and bought a pair of shoes, it was about 10pm when the shop was about to close. So.. after all finished, all of us walked back to the hotel and I left from there back to my car to go back home.

The main point here is that it is great to spend some time with your relatives to get to know them more. Well, I wish I'm not in my exam season, or else maybe I can tour them around more.

Anyway, I'm having a hard time in this exam season... I feel scared for both of my papers that I have already done, management and biology. Honestly, I feel scared to fail. It is because that I don't think I did well that day.... I really hope that I can pass this semester and continue with the next one. I'm determined to perform better in the next semester.... No more skipping classes, no more lazying around with my assignments and tutorials. I promise I'll do better... It is a promise.

End

Exam

2009-06-14T04:23:00.002+08:00

I'm in exam season. So, I'll be having my first paper on Monday, 15th of June. It is a Management paper. After that I'll have Biology, Chemistry and Statistic. It has been unproductive for me studying my management. I have no motivation to study, my attention has been always easily distracted. But later I'll go to college to revise the questions my tutor had gave to me. Hopefully I'll learn a lot. Nevertheless, I need to pray as well and to be constant with my daily devotion.
Last words for this post, If it is not too hard please pray for me as well.

Thank you so much.

New Template

2009-06-14T04:22:00.001+08:00

I have changed my blog to a new template, hopefully it is better. I received some complains about my blog layout for being too dark.

Hopefully you guys enjoy it.

Been in awhile

2009-06-14T03:52:00.003+08:00

Hi there,
It has been awhile huh??
Anyway, I just received a great sermon just now and I would like to share it here in my blog.
It is about "The Christian Mind". The sermon was preached by my pastor, Rev.Kevin Loo.

Firstly, many people out there are often complaining about Christians. But why???
Here are the common complains, Christians are:
1. Anti Homosexual
2. Judgemental
3. Hypocritical
4. Too legalistic & unforgiving
5. Out of touch with reality
6. Old-fashioned
7. Insensitive to others
8. Boring
9. Not accepting other people faith
10. Confusing
11. Naive
12. Always talk about money
13. Super spiritual / ultra holy
14. Christians only help Christians
15. Stingy
16. Forceful
17. Fake
18. Unattractive
19. Always and only talk about God
20. Spend too much time in church
21. No social life
22. Church is rich
23. Always giving money to church
24. Talk only
25. Ignoring family
26. Act smart
27. The guys too soft
28. Weird
29. Don't honor ancestors
30. Sub-standard

If you are a Christian, do feel many of the points have hit you? For me, they really got me.
So just now pastor talked about 3 points. Those are:
1. Christians are judgemental
2. Christians are hypocritical
3. Christians are too legalistic

What do mean???
1. About being judgemental, sometimes Christians only know how to critcize others. In the bible, let's look at Matthew 7:1. Jesus says "Judge not, that you be not judged". Jesus came to the world not to judge us, instead he came down to serve us, to help us, to cleanse our sins, and believing us. About being judgemental, I really feel guilty about it. I realized that I've been jugdemental to many people all this long. I love to say they are wrong, they are not good, they are this and that. Therefore, I should make the decision for not being judgemental. It is not that I can suddenly turn to be non-judgemental person, but I will try my best. Also, Be slow to judge but quick to love!

2. Hypocritical??? Yes, I believe it is true. Well, of course not all Christians. A hypocrite is someone who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, princicples but in fact he does not possess(cited from City Harvest Sermon note). I believe we are being hypocrite when we condemn people over wrong things or actions which we ourself are doing it without other people's knowledge. There, we should be transparent over our flaws.

3. Too legalistic. This is where some Christians are judging people for not following what the bible commanded. Pastor Kevin said they are like police, writing out the saman tickets.

Conclusion, after knowing those complains of others to Christians, we should open our heart to be more loving to others, to stop being hypocrites and being judgmental. It is not easy, but we should develop that kind of attitude.

Helloo,
Welcome to my blog...

First of all, just want to wish everyone Happy Valentine's Day....
As for me, I think Valentine's Day is not gonna be any celebration for this year. I'm gonna spend it at home, resting. Talking about myself, my skin is darker now, exposed to hot sunlight almost everyday. But I think I can survive, I'm pretty bored here. Tuesday is gonna be my last day of work, after I finish work on Tuesday I will straight away go to highland, Tembagapura. I'm still waiting for my immigration letter to come, it is supposed to be issued by the middle of February. After I get the letter I will go to Surabaya first for few days and then straight to Malaysia where I will start my degree course. About this place, I think it is actually a crazy city where the people are doing crazy things. There have been few riots lately, mostly was because of murders. The natives here have the mindset of "head for head". So when one of their people got killed or died in an accident they will ask for compensation or forfait to the killer. It doesn't matter whether they died accidentally or murdered. If the person who kills did not fulfil it, they will make riots everywhere. They are like barbarians.... In case they got the money, they will have feast and party. Can you imagine people having party while their family or relative died? And they got the money because their family or relative died. I think its really crazy and inappropriate. Every few days the electricity always down. Luckliy my house have generator to run the electricity. Well, I just thank God that everything is still safe and I still can live comfortably.

Happy Chinese New Year!!!

2009-01-26T10:04:00.003+08:00

Gong Xi Fa Cai!!! Happy Chinese New Year!!! Selamat Tahun Baru Cina!!! Khiong Hee!!!
To everyone who celebrating it......

I'm celebrating it in Papua... hehe.. Not many chinese here and I don't have relatives here.. So.... no ang pao. Sad la.. Anyway, at least we still have an event here. Later at 4pm all the chinese in Timika are celebrating together.. haha, we celebrating it together since there are not many chinese here. The public holiday for CNY is only for 1 day here.. not like in Malaysia which is usually 1 week. Tomorrow I already have start working again... My work starts at 5.30am and usually ends at 4pm. It is a very tiring work, I have to move the cargo and luggage to the plane, weight people and their luggage, wash the plane... Do you know that those local people here are really like... I don't know, their luggages are so heavy!! heavy heavy. 1 person can bring about 80kg things or sometimes more than that and I have to move those things to the plane.. its very heavy.. They have this traditional bag or something like that called noken. It looks like this:
But it is way bigger than that, they put all heavy things inside like salt, sugar.
Usually I already feel sleepy by noon because of tiredness. But I learned a lot and it is an unbuyable experience I learned there.
1 day seems to be 1 month here... there is nothing much to do here. Mostly I will just online but nobody to talk to, play games, or I will just sleep... sleep ... sleep... The weather here is very hot in the afternoon and usually cold at night. I'm sweating all the times at work... Oh ya, for your reference.. not complaining here, just telling it out. Well, I think it is still nothing compared to the pilots here. They are from western country, they are serving here as pilots to give service to tribes people in the remote area so that they can restock their foods and other things from the city. The plane is very small, caravan plane called cessna. It only can load 9 people, usually its max weight is 1200kg.

Ok thats all from me today.. See you

Indonesia

2009-01-10T22:05:00.002+08:00

Hi guys,
I just want to keep my blog updated even though I'm already in Indonesia. Ok, I reached Surabay on the 8th of January around 9pm. So, my father's worker sent me to my Auntie's house. I didn't stay at my place because there is nobody there, only the worker. My aunt and her family welcomed me with great hospitality. I have 3 aunts in Surabaya, I called them ayi, maybe it is spelled (ah yi) but I just use ayi. The next day I went out with my cousins to shopping mall. We went to the biggest shopping mall in Surabaya called Tunjangan Plaza. We went to watch X Files there. I was so shocked, the movie ticket was so expensive and also the popcorn!!! The movie ticket cost me around RM12 after i convert it and the popcorn cost me RM9 for large popcorn. It was not on weekend so I think the movie ticket was rather expensive. Oh ya, I only went there with my 2 cousins, both of them was scared when we watched X Files until they cover their eyes... quite normal la, girls. After that, we went to another shopping mall called PTC to meet my friend Ryan. Ok before that, I think I should mention my cousins' name because I think its gonna be difficult to explain if I don't tell the names. My cousins' name who went with me are Tirza and Feli. At PTC Kezia, Feli's sister came along with me but Feli went back to take tuition. There we meet Ryan and went for some sightseeing in the mall. We had Dim Sum for dinner. After that Ryan sent me and my cousin's to Kezia's house. I met my other aunt there. We talked for quite some time and then went back to my other aunt's house, Tirza's house. The next day, which is Saturday, is the day I go to Timika by plane. Actually it was a gamble to get the ticket because my name was on the waiting list number 9, which means that if there are ppl who cancel their flight, I can replace them and can take the flight. THank God!!! I got to get the ticket. So here I am now, in Timika with my mom... Anyway, I'm gonna work here to help a missionary. He asked whether I'm interested to help him or not, and yeah it is a social work so I don't get paid for it. And... I'm interested in it so tomorrow which is Sunday, I'm going to talk to the guy, his name is Mr. Dennis, I'm going to talk to him and say I'm gonna accept the job. I might be going to those remote areas where the people are still not exposed with city life. I think I'm gonna enjoy it and gonna learn some experience from this job!!

Going Back

2009-01-07T04:57:00.002+08:00

Its 5am in the morning now, today is on the 7th of January which is Wednesday. I slept around 9 yesterday, so I woke up early today. I'm gonna go back tomorrow. My flight is at 4.20 in the afternoon and I'm taking AirAsia flight. I feel quite sad to go back because I have to go back for 2 months. The life there is just not that fun to enjoy, there is no shopping mall, there is no good place to hang out, and also there is no friends to go out with. All my old friends are studying outstation because there is no University there. I really gonna miss the life in Malaysia, well at least I still going back to Malaysia in the end of February or early March. I'm gonna miss church, my cell group, my friends.
Right now, I'm thinking what to bring.. Hmmm, of course my laptop, clothes, bible, passport, air ticket, and I don't know what else.
Alright, the bottom line is I don't feel like going back but the good news is I get to spend time with my parents...

Left 4 Dead

2009-01-05T00:15:00.005+08:00

Hello,

I just played this game yesterday, its called Left 4 Dead. A very nice game to play. I played it in Sunway Rock Cafe with my cell members. The game is about zombies and human fight them. There are 4 humans and they have to survive fighting all the zombies.

Alright, I will put it in more detail according to the information given in the website.

Louis had been working up the courage to quit his job as Junior Systems Analyst at his company's IT department when a virus showed up and downsized the world. Now Louis has a new set of goals (live long enough to succeed) and a new set of tools (guns, sharp objects) to help him achieve them. With any luck, he'll figure out how the new management operates before they get a chance to murder him.

Cocky, loud, and pretty sure he's indestructible, Francis acts like the zombie apocalypse is the world's biggest bar fight. When the virus hit, everybody else stockpiled food and looked for a place to hide. Francis found a gun and had some fun. No cops, no laws, no order—if it wasn't for all the zombies, he could almost get used to life like this.

After spending her first semester holed up in a dorm room watching old horror movies, Zoey was given a choice: Stop fooling around and get her grades up, or drop out. Now that the planet's overrun with murderous zombies, and all of her professors are dead, Zoey at least has the cold comfort that she's been studying up on the right subject after all.

It took two eventful tours in Vietnam, a handful of medals, a knee full of shrapnel, and an honorable discharge before the unthinkable happened: Bill ran out of wars. But now an army of infected undead has declared war on humanity. After decades of aimless drifting and dead-end jobs, Bill's finally gotten back the only thing he ever wanted: an enemy to fight.

Basically, those are the humans. The zombies have few characters as well, they have different abilities. I'm just addicted with this game and I really want to play it again. Hehehe

Happy New Year!!

2009-01-02T13:12:00.002+08:00

Hello, Happy New Year everyone.!!! Lets start this year with a great start and a great ending ahead :D!!!

I can't believe that it is already in the year 2009 and I'm going to be 19 soon. I feel... older? Anyway, I'm thinking it might be good if I write my new year resolutions but I usually didn't accomplish my new year resolutions. But... I'm gonna write it anyway, so here it is:
- Getting at least 70% for all my subjects in Medical Bioscience course
- Learn more about photoshop, php, html
- Start designing blogs
- Read the bible more often
- Do more daily devotion
- Be a helpful person to everyone
- Do more exercise (incomplete last year's new year resolution)
- Be more active in Cell Group and Church
- Find a way to get more income
- Cut down my daily over-spending

I think thats all... If there is more, I will update this post.
Alright!!!!!! bye

Christmas is coming

2008-12-24T02:53:00.003+08:00

Hi everyone...

Good news to all of us, CHRISTMAS IS COMING... its tomorrow!! Tonight my church will showing our Christmas production with the title: Christmas at Chang's.. I can't wait to see it=). I love Christmas season, but this time its a bit different. Because...... I'm totally broke, I don't know what I should do now. Currently I'm living with my savings and I really HATE using my savings. Usually at this time of the season, I will go shopping and buy some stuffs. But now.. ohh MY GOD!! The pledge season really affecting me.. I've already got a Christmas present for my grandma, but I haven't get any present for the others yet. I don't know what I should do, should I get some presents or should I not? I'm really gonna broke upside down. In January, when I go back to Indo I have to buy another present for my cousin's sweet 17 birthday.... Can call myself as being dead man walking.. haha, no la just joking. I'm still alive here and still eating foods everyday, lunch and dinner (no breakfast becase I always woke up late). In fact, my tummy is getting bigger like a prosperity stomach, hate that =(. I need to have some exercise and some work out but I'm too lazy pig for that. I don't know why, last time I always did exercise. Anyway, thats all. Oh ya, have a blessed Christmas season!!!

It has been awhile

2008-12-21T03:26:00.003+08:00

Hello...

As the title says, it has been awhile... since my last post. I just want to tell some of my experience during Asia Conference and in Indonesia.

First of all.... I went to Singapore on the 19th of November by bus. The bus we used from Malaysia until Singapore immigration was not that nice, but its alright. Oh ya, I'm not complaining or what but I just want to tell everything to the detail. After me and my church members reached Singapore, we straight away went to the hostel by a mini bus. I stayed in Stanfield Residence. The place was nice, I mean for a free trip it was a nice place. It was already late evening when we reached the hostel. When we reached, we were not able to go in to our room because the room key was with someone and he was out. So we put some of our things to other church members room who have already reached Singapore earlier. After that, we followed Jeffrey to go to Bugis, it is a shopping mall complex. We went there by bus and LRT. After we finished everything, we went back to the hostel and finally got our room. I was in the same room with Patrick, Joo Won and Adrian. But Adrian had not come yet, he would be coming on Friday. What was in my mind when I got my room key was... rest. I just want to have a rest. But in the end I slept at 3 because I chatted with Patrick and Victor. Victor slept in our room that night. The next day was great, I do want to tell you more about my experience but it is very long and I feel a bit lazy to type it, so I'll just try to make it as simple as possible. So anyway, the services were great. Every speaker was really powerful, in the way they teach the sermon or in the way they bless or pray for people. All of were tired for every single day because we slept late and have to wake up early. But it was really a great experience. My favourite speaker is Rev.Dr. Bernard. His message was really powerful, he is really good at teaching people. On the last day of the trip, I went to Malaysia faster than the other church members because I had to catch my flight to Indonesia on Monday 7am. So I went to Malaysia with my brother. The bus we used was really comfortable, it has massage machine in the seat. I reached Solo, Indonesia at 9am on Monday. I went out to eat and visited some of my relatives there. After that I went to the hotel. The next day I celebrated my grandmother's birthday. They celebrated it in a big celebration, all of my grandma's grandchildren were performing. Include me of course, but I was just a minor performer. The birthday party was really great, I think all of the guests were really enjoying it so does my grandma. I stayed in Indonesia for more than a week. I had the time to spend with my family and relatives. Went out with my cousins, having dinner with my relatives and grandmother and also my family. It was really fun. So I went back to Malaysia on the 27th of November. After I came back, I received news that Na Young and Joo Wong are going back to Korea on the following week. I was... really sad because they are my cell members and they are like the core members, both them were serving in church, Na Young in attributes and Joo Won in cafe, both of them are very commited in the ministry. I feel quite sad that they are leaving especially Joo Won, because lately I have been quite close to him. During Asia Conference trip, we were in the same room, he is also my bible study classmate, my friend to play futsal with, also my fellow cafe ministry member. Well, maybe it is really their calling to be in Korea.

About my university, I got 3 distinctions and 1 credit for my results in Pre-U. I was a bit.. no, really dissapointed for my physics result. I only got credit for it, Oh MY GOD!! Do u know how much effort I putted in to aim for High Distinction for that subject??????????????!!! Try to imagine, I worked hard for that subject to get HD and I really got it for my internal marks. I got 34.2 out of 40 which means 85.5 for the internal marks. But the external marks which is the final exam had ruined it all. It was a damn tough exam.... sigh... So I only got 270 for my total marks. I didn't meet the requirement to go to engineering course. I wrote a letter of appeal but got rejected, so now I'm taking Medical Bioscience. I'm no afraid with what course I have to take or I what I take because I believe God will always make a way for me. He will never neglected me just like that. Ok, yesterday I had my cell group christmas celebration, it was cool.. I was the one helping for the preparation of the foods. I think it was a success because all the foods were finished eventhough we thought that the foods were already a lot. We had gift exchange and I got a present from Kenneth. It is a frog key chain, interestingly, the frog's can blinking with lights when radiation is nearby. Which means that, if my phone receiving or sending signal, the lights will on. Next week we will have our church christmas production, CHRISTMAS AT CHANG'S.. It looks promising.. Should be a great and funny production. Come and visit our church if you want to watch it. It is on the 24th December 9pm and 25th December 10am in City Harvest Church. For more information call Abel or Shirley at +603-5638 7573 or visit www.chc.org.my.

Alrighttt, thats all for my post today... Quite long isn't it?
Bye God bless

My Dream

2008-11-13T02:22:00.005+08:00

Hello people...
Just want to share about my dream today. I planned to wake up early today, at 11am (actually that is not really). So I set alarm at 11am, but in the end yes I woke up at 11 but I slept again. HAhahaha, I thought I will just take another few minutes sleep but I ended up woke up at 2.30pm. During my sleep, I dreamed about having 2 puppies. Actually they are not puppies, in my dream they are 2 dogs mixed with goat. Means half dog half goat.. Haha, weird right. So I fed them and took care of them and after that, the next part I know is they have already become adults, 2 big dogs or whatever it is called. But suddenly one of the dog became a dangerous dog, he attacked me. I thought he was sick so I put him in the cage and drove him to ss18 to go to the veterinarian. Haha, I don't know why suddenly ss18 came out in my mind. Maybe its because when last time I was taking tuition in Etika Jaya(ss18), I saw a pet shop there. But then, the next part I know is already another part. Hahaa, this time I was in a house and a group of vampires were attacking my house. I was trying to run but they caught me with some other people. There are few vampires there, some of them went to find the others and there is only 1 left to guard me and another guy whom I don't know. After that, that one vampire attacked the other guy and sucked up his blood. So when he was sucking up his blood, I quickly ran to a room and tried to close it, but it was too late. That vampire was already behind me and the other guy had already became a vampire as well. So when the vampire was trying to bite my neck, suddenly that other guy bite that vampire's neck and that vampire died. The next thing I know is, I already woke up and it was already 2.30pm. Weird dream la. But now I want to have a puppy.... I don't know whether my condo allows puppy or not. Hopefully yes.

The End~

My Everday Life, Currently

2008-11-11T03:13:00.000+08:00

As usual, today on Monday I woke up about at 12 in the afternoon. Open my computer, surf the net. After that I had my lunch and continue to play with my computer. At 5.20, I took a shower and at 5.40 I drove to ss15 to have my guitar lesson. I was learning a song called Trenchtown. Like usual, I always have problem on timing. My teacher said overall is good, but I need to work out on my timing and solo part. Sooo.., my teacher showed me how to play solo, whoah, when he played the solo part I was like speechless... It was really nice. Got 1 song he showed me, it is like a rock song, so the solo part he played was like metal song, hahaha but it was nice. After I finish my guitar lesson, I called Kah Chun and ask him whether he wants to eat "lok lok" or not, the fatman steamboat in ss15. He said he doesn't want, he was not around, he didn't tell me where he is, maybe was dating with a girl lol. So ok, I called my brother and asked him what time he is going home. He said now, so I went to Monash to fetch him and then we went to buy stuffs for his canteen and went back home. After I reach home, I played dota with Patrick, Kah Chun and Vincent. Unfortunately, we lost the game... That game made my mood down. Since I don't have mood to play, I went to the living room and turned the TV to watch some shows. After the shows finished, here I am again, playing with the computer. Ahh, Friday is my Physics paper, well I'm going to start studying tomorrow but I lost one of my note. Sad la, I have to go and print it out again, such a waste of money, energy and time. Hopefull I can score HD for Physics, I feel like I'm a Physics expert now. Haha, all is just because I got 85.5 for my internal marks. I don't know why suddenly I can do well in Physics, last time in high school I always score lower than 70. My mom called me yesterday, she asked me whether I want to work or not when I'm in Indonesia. I ask what kind of work, she said I can work for my father's friend in airline company. But I don't get paid, so I said, that would be impossible. I'm not gonna work without getting paid, I'm not a charity worker. I asked her whether I can work in her clinic to get paid but she said she is not going to pay me, but she can give me allowence. Sigh, am I really not that worth it to be employed. I talked to her about her sisters and brothers in law, I told her that I really don't know like them because of how they organize the birthday event for my grandmother. It was really giving disadvantages for me and my family. Also, I think that they just do not want to be in disadvantage. But my mom doesn't seem to see it in that way, well I can't do anything. But at least I think I know that my father is thinking the same as what I think. Ok, I'm going to start my day tomorrow with determination to study. I'm going to study tomorrow, I'm gonna need the fire... Anyway, I think it is time for me to go sleep now, gonna pray first and then I'll go to sleep.
Bye.

What a great song.....
This morning was the day that I pledged to building fund. It was really.... I don't know. It is kind of sad and happy. When the time came to write the amount that I want to pledge, I was praying to God. Actually I have already decided the amount that I wanted to pledge before came to the service. But when I was praying, God was like asking questions to me, He asked who is more important?? God Himself or money? Can God count on me? Can I sacrifice to Him to show that He is more important than money? When I was praying, I answered to Him saying of course that I would put Him first. I also remembered the time when I asked God to enlarge my faith to Him. To enlarge my capacity to be faithful to Him. So, this is the time that God wants to enlarge my faith, to test me whether I'm faithful to Him or not. In the end, I gave up to God and I pledged more than I decided to pledge. I was really.... sad, I almost cry. Actually already cried a little bit, but you know, I'm a guy so I hold it. Haha... However, since the day that I pledged until now. I'm never getting any poorer. In fact, I'm getting richer. Also, God have blessed my family and I really want to put Him first in my life. I just want to show Him that I really love Him. So alright, I have to be faithful for the next 5 months. I don't know whether I'm getting any allowence when I'm in Indonesia for two months. But, just be faithful that I will fullfil it.

Yea, thats all from me.

2008-10-27T19:22:00.001+08:00

Yea... As the title says, problems. Ahhh, I'm just having so many problems right now. First is exams, I will be having my maths trial tomorrow and my final exam is starting on this Friday. I really need to score to go to Monash. I must study well, but I just don't have the determination to really study hard. Also, after I get Monash, I need to go back for 2 months. Go back to Indonesia for 2 months!!! That will really make me crazy. In case I have to go back, I have nothing to do in Indonesia. I also confused where I will be staying at, whether I will be staying in my grandmother's house or my mother or my father's. My mother and father work at different places, the distance is about 2 hours driving distance. If I stay in grandma's house, maybe I can go to shopping mall on weekends but on weekdays I guess I will be a shopkeeper. Selling golds and jewelries, hahaha. If in mother's place, I guess I will be the receptionist of the acupuncture clinic, lol. If in father's place, the most I will just watch TV for the whole day or play basketball. Ahhh, I think I will be missing everyone in Malaysia. I'm really concern about my future, this thought always comes out in my mind. "Where will I go after I graduate?" I really don't know where I will be working at or more precisely which country I will be working in. I really have no idea, but I believe God will open a way for me. Oh ya, today in the morning I played dota with Vincent, Patrick, Kah Chun and Jone. It was about 12am to 4am. We won the all rounds, hehe of course puas hati. But stupid right, lol tomorrow is my trial. ALRIGHTTT!!!! Enough already, I go study now.... Bye

Deriving True Satisfaction

2008-10-25T23:23:00.001+08:00

By:Keith Tay
City Harvest

Matthew 5:6 (NASB) Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

Satisfaction refers to the state of contentment completion and happiness when a need or a desire is being fulfilled.

1. You don't find true satisfaction in pleasure.
It means that we will never satisfied when we enjoy something. For example: having a holiday in a cruise or somewhere nice. Yes we were pleased, but it does not last forever.

2. You don't find lasting satisfaction in performance.
We do not find lasting satisfaction in our achievement. When we perform something, we tend to think that we should have done better.

3. You don't find lasting satisfaction in possessions.
We will never satisfied with all the belongings we have. Even though we have all money in world, we will sure never be satisfied with it.

However, this does not mean that it is wrong to have all those pleasure, performance and possessions. They just do not last forever.

Eccl. 5:10 (NIV) "whoever loves money will have enough money, whoever loves wealth will never be satisfied with his income. All these are meaningless."

Eccl 2:3-11

Destination sickness is the disease that hits you when you achieve all your dreams, when you accomplish all the goals that you think will give you fulfillment - and then find that you are not happy. --- Ray Stedman

Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart."

How do you experience true satisfaction in life?
1. You need to recognise your real hunger
Genesis 2:7 We become spiritual being
Genesis 3:14
Here are things that human want to have (start from the most important)
-Survival need
-Security and safety
-Belonging and love
-Self-esteem
-Self actualization

A self-actualizer is a creative problem solver. - Abraham Maslow

2. Stop eating junk food.
Isiah 55:2 "why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy?"

It's interesting that our appetites are influenced by our association with people around us.
Our needs or dreams can influenced by people close to us.

3. True satisfaction is found in GOD.

John 6:35 (TNIV) Jesus said, "I am the Bread of Life. Whoever comes to Me will never go hungry and whoever believes in Me will never be thirsty... If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever!"

Amen!!!

Forget not His Benefits

2008-10-25T12:17:00.000+08:00

Alright!! This is my cell group's sermon.
Preached by Lim Li Hsia from E-6

Ps. 103:1-5
BLESS the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies

God did not create "robots" to serve and love Him, He created us with a free will.

David commanded his soul to carry out two activities:

1. v1 Bless God's holy name.

Using all that is within Him - mind+emotion+body+spirit.

2. v2 Forget not His benefits.

One of the most powerful areas of our soul is our memory.

WHAT DO WE NEED TO FORGET?

1. Sorrows and past failures
2. Past hurts and let down

WHAT DO WE NEED TO REMEMBER?

1. Remember how good God has been to you.. Ps. 103:3-5
Deut. 32:18

1 Cor. 1:18
"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."

2. Rmember how God gave you the victory...
1 Sam. 17:33-37

Correct memory can ignite great faith!

Our memory was designed to bring into remembrance the good things in life and Word of God!

2 Tim 4:17-18
Deut. 7:18-19

3. Remember the words God spoke to you.
Ps. 119:11
"Your word I have hidden in my heart that I might not sin against You!"
1 Tim 1:18
"This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare."

We must guard our prophecy, revelation, vision and wage a good warfare with it!

4. Remember the first love you had for Jesus...
Rev. 2:2-4

"... that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me."
3. God is faithful.

Saved But Destroyed

2008-10-19T01:47:00.000+08:00

Sermon by: David Oh
City Harvest Church

This is one of the best sermon I've learned so far. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Jude 5 : "But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe."

At that time, Israel was under Egypt. The Israel people became slaves of the Egyptian. So God sent Moses to save them. Moses came and ask Pharaoh to release them. But Pharaoh refused to release the people of Israel. In the end, Moses sent the 10 plagues and the 10th plague had made Pharaoh to release the people of Israel. On the journey to promise land, a lot challenges came and many of those people did not believe in God. In result, out of 2 million people, only 2 of the Israeli had managed to reached the promised land. Which is Joshua and Caleb.

Our world today is constantly under chaos. Where worldly things had became the weaknesses of human. Satan has the authority in this world. Satan manipulates people. However, through Jesus Christ, people who believe in Him can be saved. Jesus had died on the cross for our sins just to let us to have relationship with God. By keep on believe in Jesus, we will be able to go to Heaven. We should not do lust, adultery, sexual immorality, we should not tempt Christ, nor keep on complaining.

The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed
The New Testament is the Old Testament revealed

1 Corinthians 10:1-12
Matthew 7:21-23
Matthew 13:24-30
Matthew 25:31-33

Those verses tell us that even though we are a Christians or we have been through salvation before, if we do not keep follow God's path. In the end, we will perish.

What is true salvation?
1. True Salvation is believing in Jesus

Believe here means that no matter what happen or what the situation is, we should always believe in Jesus.

John 3:16
Romans 10:9-10

2. True Salvation is Giving Jesus My Heart(Life)

We should give Jesus our heart, we dedicate our life to Him.

3. True Salvation is Following Jesus as My Lord and Master.

We may have accepted Christ as our saviour, but if we do not follow Him as our master we will lost our sense of direction.

Romans 14:7-9

Why were the 2 million Israelities destroyed in the wilderness?
Hebrew 3:7-19

What is the root of all sin?
Genesis 3:1

The root of all sin is the sin of unbelief in the Word of God

God's greatest pleasure is to be BELIEVED.

Philippians 2:12-13
Matthew 10:22, Jesus said, "...he who endures to the end will be saved."

So, let us believe in Christ and follow him all the way in our life. Sometimes we may have sinned against Him, but we should always come back to Him because He is our Lord. We should ask ourself "Do I really have the heart in believing Christ?" This sermon has opened my eyes on how important it is to believe in Christ. The path in believing Christ is tough, is not easy, there are many obsticles, but we should endure it all. So let us keep on have faith in believing Him and try our best to walk on the right path. Good Luck!!!

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

–William Shakespeare

Test for Idiocy

2008-10-09T01:16:00.000+08:00

Test for Idiocy
B elow are four (4) questions and a bonus question. You have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately . OK?

Let's find out just how clever you really are....

Ready? GO!!!

First Question:
You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are

absolutel! y wrong! If you overtake the second person, you take his place, so you are second!

Try not to screw up next time.
Now answer the second question,
but don't take as much time as you took for the first one, OK ?

Second Question:
If you overtake the last person, then you are...?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?

You're not very good at this, are you?

Third Question:

Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only.
Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.

Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000 . Now add 30 .
Add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000
Now add 10. What is the total?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did you get 5000?

The correct answer is actually 4100.

If you don't believe it, check it with a calculator!
Today is definitely not your day, is it?
Maybe you'll get the last question right....
...Maybe.

Fourth Question:

Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono. What is the ! name of the fifth daughter?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did you Answer Nunu?
NO! Of course it isn't.
Her name is Mary. Read the question again!

Okay, now the bonus round:

A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By
imitating the action of brushing his teeth he successfully
expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is
done.

Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of
sunglasses; how does HE indicate what he wants?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He just has to open his mouth and ask...
It's really very simple.... Like you!

Hehe, those questions are so tricky..

Hi there..
Its 1am now, before I sleep I just want to blog for awhile. Yesterday was just a normal day. It was the first day after Raya break. The road was so free, no jam at all. So I did not come late for class today, haha. Oh my God, I still have to prepare my presentation speech for English class. I just got the power point slide awhile ago from my group member. I don't feel like preparing it now, I feel so sleepy. Wednesday is my Chemistry test, hopefully I can score well in the test. I don't think it should be a problem for this test, it is about Electrolysis and Electrochemical. But still, I need to work hard and study hard for it. If I don't score, I might not be able to go to Engineering course next year. Actually, by blogging I learned to improve my English writing, its a good thing =D. Oh ya, I went to shop some stuffs during the break. I bought black short pants, short jeans, 2 pairs of t-shirt and a belt. I just can't help it, I love to shop clothes. Anyway, I'm so confused, upset, unsatisfied about my grandmother's birthday party. All my uncles and aunts make it until so complicated. The thing is, I'm not sure whether them or my grandmother wants me to come to the party. But I feel like my uncles and aunts side like do not want to sacrifice their events. I don't really know the whole idea, but they want it to be on the 24th of November. While Asia Conference finished at 23rd. It is just too rush for me to go on 24th, because I left from Singapore at night and will reach Malaysia in the morning. Only 1 flight in the morning to Solo on that day. Solo is a place in Indonesia if you don't know. Lets just put that topic away first, last week Pastor Mike Connel came and it was great to see many people been delivered. I believe that man has strong spiritual power. Hmm, right now I'm thinking whether should I put my blog for private only or not. Which means it is only for myself. I'm not sure yet, but I just feel like writing more private stuffs about myself here. However, I do not want to let others to see it. I just want to write to relieve myself. I'm a person who take privacy seriously. I love to have my privacy, and I do not like other people to disturb it. Next, I really need to put more effort in my discipline in prayer. Prayer is one important thing that we can't miss out. It helps you to communicate with God, to build relationship with Him. Without prayer we can't hear anything from God. I feel I need to take it more seriosly now. Sometimes I felt discouraged alot, there are many things that can make me easily be discouraged. Therefore, I really need to pray to God to be encourage back, to be strong again. I really want to serve more for God, I want to serve more in my cell group and church. Well, that is not my ultimate achievement but I want to start from the bottom first. My future goal is to serve other people, those who are not so fortunate as I am. I really want to have compassion for those people. Those who are suffering, starving and alot other things that we never imagined could happen to them. It is very hard to love people, to love everyone, especially those who hurt you. As a human, I think that is one of the hardest thing to do. Maybe only Jesus who really can did that. To be honest, I really scared of my future. I don't know whats gonna happen to me in the future, what job I get, how successful I am, what course I'm gonna take, who is my wife and other stuffs. I only can depend on God for that but even though I know that God will surely give me the best and will not neglect me, sometimes I still feel scared about it. Oh no, its already 1.30am. I don't have anymore time, I'll have to wake up early tomorrow. See you.

Developing Maturity in Christ

2008-09-15T00:52:00.000+08:00

Hi there,
This is a sermon preached by Keith Tay (City Harvest Church)
This is just the outline of the sermon. If you need more information, feel free to go www.chc.org.my. The audio sermon is provided there.

James 1:4 (NIV) Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Hebrews 6:1 (NLT) So let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding.

I think the bible is telling us that we should not just doing the basic teachings or guides from Jesus. Instead, we should improve it and become more understanding.

What Maturity Is Not
1. Maturity is not age.
It means that even when someone is old, doesn't mean that that person is matured. Some people still act immature even when they are already old.
2. Maturity is not appearance.
It means that appearance can't tell how matured a person is. Some people look matured but in the inside they are not.
3. Maturity has nothing to do with achievement.
Some people may have succeed in life, but it does not mean that they are matured. For example, some famous celebrities or billionaire may have succeed with countless number amount of money. But, they are immature for doing irresponsible things like divorcing without giving priority for their children.
4. Maturity has nothing to do with academics.
Academics cannot tell how matured a person is. A person may have memorized all bible verses and know everything inside the bible but they still not following the bible.

The word "mature" in Greek is the word "teleaos" - translated= complete and perfect.

6 MARKS OF MATURITY

1. A mature person is positive under pressure

James 1:2-4

Christianity is a life. It's not a religion. To be mature you need to learn to handle pressure positively.
-It means that when pressure comes, we do not give up easily. Instead, we should do it without complaining thinking that there must be something positive come from it.

2. A mature person is sensitive to people

James 2:8

The second test of maturity is love: how do you treat other people?
-It is how we sensitive in the context of care for the needs of other people.

Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.' - Erich Fromm

3. A mature person guides his mouth

James 3:2

Gossip: hearing something you like about that somebody you don't or talking about another person that will not help or build that person. The real essence of self control is actually tongue control.

What you say directs your life or it can destroys your life.

-This is very important because sometimes we tend to just say things without self-control. Words that come from our mouth can bring happiness but also can bring sorrow.

4. A mature person is peacemaker not a troublemaker.

James 4:1
Conflict management is crucial as long as you are involved in any kinds of relationship.

The first cause of conflict is selfishness.
The second cause of conflict is judgementalism

Why should I not judge?
1. You are not God.
2. You don't know the whole situation.
3. You don't know the motives.

-Sometimes we tend to be selfish and proud. We do not want to admit that we are wrong and always want to argue. Also, sometimes we judge people while we do not know anything.

5. A mature person is able to let go and move on.

Philippians 3:13-14

To be a Christian is not to live a problems free life, but to live an overcoming life.

-There are unnecessary things that sometimes we kept in our mind while it is not worth to think about. It will then corrupt our mind and make us think things that we should not think about. In turn, our emotion confused us.

6. A mature person is patient and prayerful

James 5:7-8

A person that is patient and prayerful expresses an attitude of dependence upon God.
-It is all about our attitude and character. Maturity is about how we act and do.

The only way you learn patience is by waiting. (end)

Hope this post will help you.
Thx

Hi there,
It has been a couple of months since my last post. I've been quite busy lately. Well, I got my job as a waiter in My Elephant Thai Restaurant. Usually I worked during nights at 5 to 10. Yea, it really got me tired with my work and all my college works. I don't really work now, it's because my college studies have become really tough. With all the tests and tonnes of homework, I don't think I can really managed my time to go to work. Yay, yesterday was my father's birthday. I feel sad that I could not really go there and celebrate his birthday. Well, I can't do anything about it but I just want get him a present at least. Maybe I should give him when I come back in November. Good news!!! My father asked me when do I want to buy the laptop. I told him that I will check the price first because the price is often varies everyday. I'm aiming to get Sony Vaio. Hehe, its a very good laptop. Great, next week is my semester break. At least I can have some time to take rest, but my college works just still there to tiring me during the holiday. I got my research paper, maths homework, physics homework and list just goes on. Hopefully I could finish it all during the holiday. Oh yeah, I think I'm now an official member of City Harvest! I filled in the forms few days ago. Today is go-kart competition for emerge. I was supposed to join the competition but they cancelled my name because of limited space. I really dissapointed with that. Hmmm, what else? Oh, I'm doing research project on Human Stem Cell Research. Cool huh? I think its cool. I get to know on how stem cells are really important if it can be used in human lives. It can regenerate human bodies and cells and it can cure many diseases like Parkinson's, Alzheimer, heart disease, spinal cord injury and so on. About competition, I have football semi-final this Sunday. I'm playing for SMU cluster and I think I'm playing for wing position. To think until this far, I think God is really great and He is really real in my life. To see how my life has been changed by Him and how I live right now, its really amazing! He has never short changed me, never! My needs are always provided, I never got into a situation where I don't have any money to eat or when I have to work hard to live. Well, of course I will get into a situation where I have to work to live, but what I mean is that He always there for me. Even when I'm in the situation when I backslided or when I really need Him. I really thankful for that, and I really mean it. I was a bad behaviour kid, I used to get involved into all those bad stuffs which I do not want to mention it. And sadly, I was a Christian too when I did all those things. However, when I really met God and put all his commands into my life, He really changed me. I'm really happy to know God is always here with me. In the future, I still want to change my life to a better person. I want to be as perfect as I can be to God. It is not something that can be easily achieved, but I want to work hard to achieved it. I believe that God can make me a success person in the future. I really want to success in my life, to make my parents proud, to do greater things in life and to help other people. I believe the key to success is God and myself. It doesn't matter how smart you are, how genius you are and how many A's and HD's u got, because God create us for a purpose and I believe all of us have talents that is given by God to make us a success person. I'm not scared of not being able to score in my studies, but of course I still need to work hard and put effort in it. Well, thats all for now.

Bye

Another Day and About an Old Friend

2008-06-26T00:24:00.000+08:00

I went to play futsal today.. It was fun, I scored few goals. After that I went to church to help Adrian. I called Patrick to come but he doesn't have car at that time. So I called Kenneth and luckily he was free at that time. After waiting for about 40 minutes, Kenneth came and we started to move all the attributes things. There were so many boxes that we need to shift. It took us about 2 and a half hour to finish everything. There were just 2 of us to move all the boxes. It was very tiring and I'm having muscle ache now. At night, I chatted with some friends and my friend told me that my results already out. So I surfed the net and checked my results. My maths was really bad... I only got a pass for it. I'm really scared now, I scared that I couldn't go to the engineering course next year. Luckily, after I shared about my results to a friend, she told me to pray for it. Of course after I prayed nothing happen but I felt relieved that I know God has a plan for me. My future is in my hands and God's hands. I checked my old friend's blog, and suddenly I turned emo for no reason. Maybe its because I felt that why I screwed up some things I did in the past. It could have been better if I didn't do this or if I did this. And also maybe its because I don't talk to this old friend anymore. Its not that I hate this person, but I feel that that person doesn't want to talk to me anymore. Yea, maybe I did something that I'm not supposed to do at that time. But I tried to talk to that person for sometimes until we don't talk anymore now. Believe it or not, we used to be very close. I love to recall all those things that happened in the past with that person. Those were precious moments for me. But things just did not turned out to be that good and I made a mistake. I ignored that person for some quite time. I know that I shouldn't do that. Well, if that person reads my blog.. I only want to say that I don't hate you or anything. I really wish we still in touch. God Bless You.

Whats up!!

2008-06-20T02:56:00.000+08:00

Oh God... these few days are so boring man.. I'm having my holiday now, its until 7th of July. But I really can't find any stuff for me to do except sitting infront of the computer. I hate to say it, but suddenly people are like disappearing. Can't find any friends to go out with. Well, Patrick always call me to go out, but I just don't feel like going out if it is only two person. Starting to feel lonely here.. and of course I'm really bored like crazy. Can you imagine everyday I woke up at 1 something in the afternoon and than I will have my lunch. After that, I will just start playing with the computer until 7 at night. Than I will fetch my brother at that time. After come back, usually I'll on the TV and start to watch some TV shows. After my brother finish using the computer, I will continue to play with the computer until 4 or 5 in the morning and I'll go and sleep. Mostly that is what I do. Great, I'm gonna lead worship today. I'm kinda nervous because I scared something will go wrong later. But I hope it will be just fine, pray to God it will be. EMERGE KL is coming soon and I think I will be participating in Slam Dunk Competition, GO Kart Racing, Track and Field, and PS2 FIFA competition. I haven't really prepared yet, but I'm thinking of really get myself ready for every competition. Could I win something this year? Hehehe, it would be nice if I can at least get a trophy. This week would be the last sermon of Relationship Series by Pastor Kevin. The sermon is very interesting because there were alot of funny jokes. It helps people who were in relationship also. Although I'm still single, it stills gonna help me in the future. Talking about relationship, I don't know what I'm thinking right now. Honestly, I think it would be great if I got a girlfriend. But I don't want to simply find any girl. I want to find a girl that really suits me. I mean someone that I really want, not because that person is attractive from the look only but also from the attitude. About whether that person is a believer or not, I believe is doesn't really matter. It does, but it won't affect that much because I believe if that person is not a believer, she will eventually accept Christ if the relationship works. Do you know what kind of characteristics of girls that I hate? I hate those pampered girls, those who wants everything to be nice for them. Those who always complaining... It irritates me alot... Oh ya, I also hate those girls who think they are living in a fantasy land. Lol, those people who like to act like japanese anime. Dress like those anime, change their names like anime. Usually those people are lala. If you ask whether I already have someone that I think suits me, I would say yes. But again... There are just too many problems need to be done. So I think I won't do anything for now. Since one of the problem is time, I only can wait. Wahh, I wrote so much about girls today. What to do, right now my mind is thinking about girls alot. Ok ok, I will shift the topic to other things. About my guitar lesson.. Its getting harder and harder. The hardest one is to play solo. Its really hard man... my teacher said it needs alot of practice. Solo is hard because you have to play the guitar without any notes to read. It based on your creativity to play it so that it sounds nice. My hair is really long now and I want to cut it already. But can't think of any new styles for my hair. Should I do something like mohawk but not exactly like mohawk.. Another thing is what color of dye I should use now.. Really need to cut my hair as soon as possible because it keeps on poke my eye and causing pimple to come out from my forehead.. I hate pimple.
I think thats all for today..
Signing off now.. Bye..

Does Fairy Tale Love Exist? - Part III

2008-06-13T18:47:00.000+08:00

Sermon by: Pastor Kevin Loo
City Harvest Church

How to take away a vision from another person?
Give him a secondary one.

Re-cap:
1. Men and women are different.
2. Husbands love your wives.
3. Wives submit to your husbands.
4. Don't nag him like a kid and expect him to live like a man.
5. Men, learn to listen!
6. Women need to talk.
7. Men need to retreat.
8. Women forgive in installment.
9. Men forgive in whole.
10. The kairos moment to build is.. when you are about to pay!
11. Marriage is a covenant not a contract.
12. Marriage involves emotion but it is not just emotional.
13. Marriage involves fights but it is not a war!
14. Marriage involves compromise but it is not blind.
15. Marriage involves logic but it is not purely intellectual.
16. Marriage involves chemistry but also character!
17. True love is not just about falling in love but also staying in love.
18. A man values authority, work and achievement.
19. A women values love, feelings and relationship.
20. To offer man unsolicited advice is to presume that he doesn't know what to do.
21. Men offer solutions whereas women want to improve.

In marriage you must always endeavor to never make your spouse regret for the trust and love they have placed within you... the risk they took in trusting you...

One of the most difficult challenges in our loving relationships is handling differences and disagreements.

The more intimate we are with someone, the harder it is for us to be objective.

Communications build but arguments destroy.

It takes two to argue but just one to stop it.

How to avoid hurting one another:
1. Fight
Proverbs 21:23, Proverbs 15:1
Intimidation weakens trust in a relationship

2. Flight

3. Fake
Ladies, listen! learn to...
- Express your emotion
- Put words into your feelings
- Avoid saying what yo do not mean
- Be real
- Don't say, 'Why you talk to me so loud??!!'
- Say, 'I am upset because you didn't actually get what I mean...'

4. Fold
Proverbs 15:2, Proverbs 16:32

So what can we do to avoid arguments?
i. Stop talking and take a time-out
ii. Develop the ability to calm yourself and her down by switching back the focus of contention from person to problem.
iii. Choose the right time, the right place and the right manner to confront the issue.
iv. Ask for forgiveness.

Once anger considered, acknowledge and re-evaluated, it loses much of its power. That is the power of confession!

Does Fairy Tail Love Exist? - Part II

2008-06-01T03:07:00.000+08:00

Eph 5:22 & 25

Marriage is not a contract, where couples enter into it for gain. Rather it is a covenant, a commitment that is permanent, founded upon faith and trust upon God and each other!
- Marriage involves emotion but it is not just emotional.
- Marriage involves fights but it is not a war.
- Marriage involves compromise but it is not blind.
- Marriage involves logic but it is not purely intellectual.
- Marriage involves chemistry but also character.

True love is not just about falling in love but also stay in love.

First and foremost, here is a very important rule of communications
- discovery before decision.

Values:

1. What does a man value?
Gen 1:26
Gen 2:15
Gen 2:20

Man is created to have authority(to rule and lead), to have work(career) and to have achievement(success)!

Competency and efficiency, in other words usefulness is very meaningful, is a big thing to MEN!

A man's sense of self-worth is defined through his ability to achieve result!

2. What is important to woman?

A man is 'project' based but a woman is 'feel' based.

So by nature, a woman vales love(affection), beauty, and relationships.

A woman's life is about sharing of emotion and feelings!

Woman's principle: Let's make things better!
Man's principle: If it ain't broken, don't touch it!

The secret of doing it right is in the timing - to know when to speak and how to say it.

Men are motivated and empowered when they are needed and when their expertise is required. Women are motivated and empowered when they are loved and cherished.

Men want respect and women want appreciation.

Compromise is not a negative word!

Sermon by: Pastor Kevin Loo
City Harvest Church

Eph 5:22 & 25
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, just as
Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her.

Marriage can be heaven on earth or hell fast forward!

Eph 5:22,25

Both men and women have very different roles and responsibility.

We are designed in such a way by God to compliment and complete us - yes, even with our flaws and shortcomings!

1. Wives submit to your own husbands AS TO THE LORD!

This is the foundational basis of every healthy relationship.

To submit is to serve the person we love, to bless them with our lives.

Gen 24:18-20

Remember, there can only be one head in a household. More than that, it would be a monster!

Give him space to grow and mature!

Don't nag him like a kid and expects them to live like a man!

To submit is a choice.

2. Husbands love your wives... as Christ loved the church!

It is very interesting that the word love is not 'eros' or 'phileo' but Paul specifically used the word 'agape' , that denotes Christ's love for the church.

Love is a sacrifice!

Never love your work more than your family!

It is giving at the expense of self.

But most importantly, LISTEN to her!

The differences should create the curiosity to want to know each other better!
It is an adventure!

To love and stay in love is a choice we have to make.

Pro 18:22
He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtain favor from the LORD.

Hey there,
Just want to talk about some stuffs here. Firstly, there was a PC fair last week in KLCC. I went on Sunday with Kah Chun, Ruben and Ryan. We used LRT from Kelana Jaya to KLCC. The LRT was really packed, many people are going to KLCC too. When we reached there, everyone was like holding Intel bag. The event was really great, alot of cheap electronic things there. Cheaper than the usual price. It was the first time I come to PC fair, I had alot of fun there. To see that the place was like a heaven for electronic devices. Oh ya, my guitar grade was just upgraded to grade 3, I still got many grades more to go. Other than that, last week pastor was preaching about The Spirit of Increase - Part 2. It was a great sermon, everyone was blessed. Our cell group is planning for futsal outing this Sunday, I'm one of the organizer. I'm really excited about it, because I love to play futsal. We are going to use the court in Sports Planet Subang. Me and Kah Chung already did some plan on how the team will be and how the competition would be like. I really hope this Sunday everyone will have alot of fun and enjoy the outing. This outing is sort of like an outing for Delvin's Farewell, he is going to U.S soon. God bless that guy man, he is a fun guy and always make other people to laugh and smile. Next, it is my bible study. I continued my bible study again last week. As usual, my teacher is Adrian. Now I have 3 lessons more to go to finish Getting Started. Thats really cool man, after that I can continue to learn more about the Holy Bible. Hehehe, got this application in facebook, it is about Traveler IQ Challenge. It is like a game, they will give you the name of a place and you will have to guess where it is by pointing it on a map. Lately, I received alot of obstacles in my life. Of course I felt like breaking down and giving up for so many times. Luckily, I didn't give up and still continuing what I'm doing right now. I learned that obstacles is meant to make you stronger and to test your faith. Faith is invisible and it is very hard to have faith rather than just seeing the reality we are facing with and believe it. I believe that with faith, nothing is impossible as long as we have God with us. So what are you waiting for? Don't give up and just do what you are suppose to do and pray. With prayer, we can communicate with God easily. For example, what will happen if you and your friend don't talk often? You wouldn't know how is your friend doing and eventually you will loss contact with them. Same it goes between you and God. By prayer, we can know what God wants and we can communicate with him. This will strengthen the bond between us and God. As our relationship with God getting closer, we can easily hear His voice. Keep in mind that if continually you don't pray, as time goes by you will not hear God's voice again and you will be lost in this world. Hmm, who am I anyway? Talking about all this things. I'm not a preacher, but I just want to write what I believe. Alright, thats all my post for today.
See you again!!

2008-04-08T00:05:00.000+08:00

Right now: Tuesday, April 08, 2008, 12.06 AM
I had a normal day... I started my 1st class at 8.30.. Which is Biology, I didn't listen to the teacher today. I just sat down there and read my Biology book and studied myself. The topic for today is about homeostasis. I finished at 9.45 and had a break. I went to the canteen and chat with my friends for awhile. After that, I went to medan food court to accompany my friends eat. My English class started at 12.15. I did some listening practice, it was quite tough. My English class finished at 1.30 and my Chemistry class is next but my lecturer had a medical leave, so my Chemistry class was dismissed. I went to the canteen again and bought chicken sandwich. I sat down there while suddenly Conrad came. I chatted with him for awhile. At 2.45 I had my maths class, I did some exercises and finished the class at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Kah Chun fetched me to Monash to take my car key from my brother. After that, me and Kah Chun went to Bidara Restaurant to eat. At 5.30 I went to SS15 to have my guitar lesson. The lesson starts at 6. I finished the lesson at 6.30. Furthermore, I drove to Kah Chun's house and fetch him to have some drinks at the nearby mamak. We sat down there and chat for quite some time. About 7.30 my brother called me to fetch him. So I went to Monash again to fetch my brother. About 9 o'clock I reached back home. I think thats all... Quite boring day.
Alright, I'm going to sleep now.. Bye..

The Spirit of Increase - Part 1

2008-04-06T21:24:00.000+08:00

Sermon by: Pastor Kevin Loo
City Harvest Church

Isaiah 60:1
Arise, shine; For your light has come!
And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.

God would call our body a temple of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is Spirit of increase!

i. God has chosen you for a great increase!
ii. Be committed to unlimited growth in your life.
iii. Set yourself free for a great increase!

Poverty is not the state of not having, but the fear of not getting which causes you to hold on to what you already have.

Prosperity is not the state of having, but the expectations and faith of increase which causes you to give from which you already have.

Wealth therefore is the ever increasing flow of increase of every good thing!

Proverbs 10:22
The proverbs of Solomon: A wise son makes a glad father,
But a foolish son is the grief of his mother.
Isaiah 32:8
But a generous man devises generous things,
And by generosity he shall stand.
Deuteronomy 8:18
"And you shall remember the LORD you God,
for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that
He may establish His covenant which He swore to
you fathers, as it is this day.

3 Carriers of Increase In Life

1. Faith brings increase
Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped
for, the evidence of things not seen.
Romans 10:17
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Luke 17:5
And the apostles said to the Lord, "increase our faith."
- Our faith can increase or decrease
At different seasons of our lives, we will encounter our 'destiny defining moment.'
Faith will increase when we step out!

2. Wisdom increases increase
Proverbs 4:7
Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do! And
whatever else you do, develop good judgment. (NLT)
Wisdom increases increase!
What we need to learn to do is to put vision in our finances!

FINANCIAL VISION PIE

A debt is something that you have taken in advance that you
cannot pay; A loan is and asset that you
have purchased of which you can service.

At the end of the day, all of us need wisdom to keep
increasing increase!

3. Integrity keeps increase
Proverbs 10:9
People with integrity walk safely, but those who follow
crooked paths will slip and fall. (NLT)
Proverbs 10:29
The way of the LORD is a stronghold to those with
integrity, but it destroys the wicked. (NLT)

People who are who they say they are!
Honesty is still the best policy!

2008-03-24T22:54:00.000+08:00

Hi hi hi............
Finally the drama is finished and I'm so pleased with it. It was so great!!
I gain alot of experience and learned alot of things about acting. Thank God the whole thing ran smoothly and I'm sure the audience were pleased and had alot of fun watching it. Anyway for those of you who don't know, I'm talking about easter drama that was showed in my church during easter. I'm one of the cast, I act as young Pontius Pilate. The practice session was really tiring. We practiced until midnight about 1am or 2am. The whole people who participate in it was very tired, we were in church for about 5 hours for practice and on day of the real event we had to be in church 4 hours before the service starts. There were 4 services and we had to act in all the services. On Sunday, I was already look like a zombie, so tired and sleepy. But anyway, we did it very well despite of tired, sleepy and nervous.
I think thats all..
Hehe,,,

Hello!!!

2008-01-31T20:56:00.000+08:00

Hi,,,
It has been a quite long time. Anyway, I just want to write something because I feel bored right now. I'm now studying in Sunway College, taking Monash University Foundation Year(MUFY). I met some new friends there. Sadly, not many Sedayan there. I'm taking 4 subjects, which are Biology, Maths, Chemistry and English. By the way, next week is Chinese New Year!!!! I want to wish all of you a Happy Chinese New Year. I have 1 week holiday, I'll spend the holiday in here, Malaysia. Maybe I'll just go out with my friends and have dinner with my relatives. If some of you haven't know yet, I already moved to Puchong since the beginning of January. Actually the place is near KL. I have to use the bypass or highway almost everyday.
Oh ya, the new season of Heroes is now showing on Star World. I'm a big fan of that TV show. You can watch it every Tuesday at 9pm.
Talking about college again, the English is very hard man!!! I have trouble with it. I'm trying to improve now, slowly... I'm thinking of taking Biomedical Science. Or maybe double degree in Biotechnology and Biomedical science. But some people told me Biomedical Science is not a very good choice because later I'll have some difficulty in finding job. The course will take 3 years and double degree will take 4 years. Well, I'm really confused now... I just can pray and hope everything will be fine.. Hehe...

I think thats all for now.... See ya!!!

I'm Back...

Joke

2007-07-10T23:51:00.000+08:00

Subject: True Story-Ghost (creepy)

his is a true story of a young college girl who passed away last month, at
Shah Alam. Her name is Priya; she was hit by a lorry.

I don't want to mention the name of the college. She had a boyfriend names
Shankar. He lives in Johore. Both of them are true lovers. They are always
on the phone with each other. You can never see her without her handphone.

She spends ?of the day talking with Shankar. Priya's family knows about
their relationship. Shankar is very close with Priya's family (just imagine
their love). Before she passed away she always told her friends "If I pass
away please burn me with my handphone". She also said the same thing to her
parents.

After her death, people couldn't carry her coffin. I was there ~~ a lot of
them tried to do so but still couldn't , everybody including me, had tried
to carry the coffin, the result was still the same.

Eventually, they called their neighbour, a "bomoh" from Thailand (pak
Darin), who is a friend of her father's. He took a seat and started
speaking to himself slowly. After a few minutes, he said "this girl misses
something here". Then her friends told Darin bout her intentions to burn
her with her phone. He then opened the coffin and place her phone, together
with the SIM card inside the casket. After that they tried to carry the
coffin. It could now be moved and they carried it into the van easily. All
of us were shocked. (can you feel the fear? I'm shaking at this moment.)

Priya's parents didn't inform Shankar that Priya had passed aw ay (pity
Shankar). After 2 weeks Shankar called Priya's mom.

Shankar: "Atte, I'm coming home today. Please cook something nice for me.
Don't tell Priya that I'm coming home today; I want to surprise her."

Her mother replied, "You come home first, I want to tell you something very
important."

After he arrived at Shah Alam, they told him the truth about Priya.

Shankar thought that they were fooling around. He was laughing and said,
"Don't try to fool me ... tell Priya to come out ... I have a gift for her.
Please stop this nonsense."

Then they show him the Priya's death certificate; they gave him proof to
make him believe.

Shankar started to sweat profusely. He said, "It's not true. We spoke
yesterday. She still calls me."

Shankar was sha king so badly when suddenly, his phone rang.

"See this is from Priya. See this ...." he showed the phone to Priya's
family. All of them told him to answer. He used the loudspeaker mode. All
of them heard this conversation, loud and clear. No cross lines, no
humming. It was Priya's voice! And there was no way others could use her
SIM card as it was nailed inside the coffin! They were so shocked and asked
for pak Darin's help.

Pak Darin brought his master (Tok Chen) to solve this matter. He and pak
Darin worked for 5 hours ... then they discovered one thing .....

Nice Song

2007-07-07T02:14:00.000+08:00

Hi... I got nothing to do now.... So i post a song lyrics
Song Title: A Lonely September
Artist: Plain White t's
Album: Stop

"A Lonely September"

I'm sittin' here all by myself
just tryin' to think of something to do
Tryin' to think of something, anything
just to keep me from thinking of you
But you know it's not working out
'cause you're all that's on my mind
One thought of you is all it takes
to leave the rest of the world behind

[Chorus]
Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back, but I know you did

I'm sittin' here tryin' to convince myself
that you're not the one for me
But the more I think, the less I believe it
and the more I want you here with me
You know the holidays are coming up
I don't want to spend them alone
Memories of Christmas time with you
will just kill me if I'm on my own

[Chorus]
Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back

I know it's not the smartest thing to do
we just can't seem to get it right
But what I wouldn't give to have one more chance tonight
One more chance tonight

I'm sittin' here tryin' to entertain myself with this old guitar
But with all my inspiration gone it's not getting me very far
I look around my room and everything I see reminds me of you
Oh please, baby won't you take my hand
we've got nothing left to prove

[Chorus]
Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back, but I know you did

And I didn't mean to meet you then
we were just kids
And I didn't mean to give you chills
the way that I kiss
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back but I know you did
Don't say you didn't love me back 'cause you know you did
No, you didn't mean to love me back
But you did

Sinner's Prayer

2007-06-02T22:50:00.000+08:00

Hi,
I just want to share few things...

""To pray is not to beg. God never wishes anybody to present himself as a poor insect. He wants the once should come first to the standard He expects and then pray Him in words embellished with firm faith, self-confidence and resoluteness."

This is a prayer:

"Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."

None of the scriptures examined so far say ANYTHING about believing AND PRAYING to be saved.

It is possible to pray in faith; many people pray WITHOUT faith; and many times we exercise faith without prayer. Prayer and faith are two separate things.

Only ONCE in the Pauline epistles is the term "calling upon the name of the Lord" mentioned in the context of salvation, and we will see that even on that occasion the Bible does not teach "the sinner's prayer" as it is taught today.

Where, then, is "the sinner's prayer" to be found?

"The sinner's prayer" is usually found at the end of a gospel tract or a printed sermon. It is often given at the close of a public message or a personal presentation of the gospel.

It takes on various forms:

"Dear God, have mercy on me and save my soul, for Jesus' sake, amen."

"Dear Lord, please forgive me of my sins and come into my heart. Amen."

"Heavenly Father, I know that I am a sinner and that I deserve to go to hell. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins. I do now receive Him as my personal Lord and Savior. I promise to serve you the best I can. Please save me. In Jesus' name, amen."

"Dear Jesus, I am sorry for my sins. Please forgive me and give me a new heart. Amen."

"The sinner's prayer" is sometimes done in a "repeat-after-me" fashion. This is done in hope that saying the words will somehow bring salvation to the heart. One instructional booklet on soul- winning related an incident in which a soul-winner actually TRICKED someone into praying the sinner's prayer, with the sinner supposing that he was going to be praying for something else! The man was assumed to be "converted," because he said certain words.

A thorough study of the scriptures will reveal the following facts:

1. A person is saved by grace through FAITH, not prayer.

2. No New Testament soul-winner instructed an unbeliever to pray "the sinner's prayer."

3. No unbeliever in the New Testament was saved by praying "the sinner's prayer."

4. God does not promise to answer the prayer of an unbeliever, EVEN WHEN HE IS ASKING TO BE SAVED.

Scriptures have already been given on the first point. The other three points will now be examined, and found to be FACTS

Hey sorry that it is kinda mess... I copied it from the internet...
