A letter to…Melissa

Monday, July 31st, 2006

Very stressful…..i hope i can jump into a swimming pool rite now and swim till i cant move, then get up and go to have a long sleep…..(As if i’m very good at swimming…)

STRESSSSSSSSSSS…………………

Dear Melissa,

Come on, what’s wrong with you. Are you thinking about quitting yourself? Is anything too big for Him to handle! Sure not!!! Keep going girl! Keep on keeping on! Remember your favourite character in the Bible - Paul. Remember His perseverance. Remember the pain your Lord endured. What you are facing now is nothing compared to these…

With Love…

Stop QUITTING! Keep GOING!

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

Quit! everybody says QUIT! whenever something goes not according that what ppl thought it would be, they quit..

Quit their college studies when they didnt do well in it. No big deal…they can simply change course. Its only about money..

Quit their relationship when somebody prettier, more handsome comes along, or the feel has change..It’s not an issue, everybody is doing it.

Quit a marriage when you feel like being single again, you feel like you’ve not enjoyed enough, you feel like you still have more credits to choose a better person..So what?? it’s the norm..

Quit a job when you just don’t like it. Well, it’ll just add to the unemployed statistics for a while, no worries..

Quit church when things are not moving according to our plans or our expectations..(Since when it’s suppose to follow ours and not HIS?)

‘Quit’ their lives just like that when some disappointments come in our ways..when we are hurt, when we are sick of our lives…

Quit Quit Quit!!!! Everybody talking about quitting…

What is going on? Come on! Stop looking down upon yourself! Stop deciding to quit just because of small issue, tiny reasons, minor problems. Take up the challenge and sort it out! Buckle up your seat and keep on GOING! Keep the spirit up and try your best till your last breath!

We can quit whenever we like. No issue. But there are things we can’t just quit. There are things valuable and worthy and that we just couldn’t quit like that…

Keep Going! Don’t just……..Quit……….

A different view

Monday, July 24th, 2006

Went back to UKM to watch New Tune’s Intro Nite Performance last night..It was great..This is the first time i participate in a New Tune’s performance as an audience. I don’t really know how to express how i feel..it’s just….different…I’m still proud of them. I can see the hard work they have poured out, minimalizing the errors performance wise and administration wise. and I’m proud of them. Proud to be a New Tune member. Thumbs up for the dancers, the administrative committees, organizers, and not forgetting those lyrics composers, song writers, and band members. Not a single person could be missed.

Ya i do really hope that new blood will come in, new ideas, new style of songs, new skills, even when it comes from old members. Glad to see Richard, YiuFai playing the guitar, Erfen and JinHua improving in their singing skills, GuoHao proving his potential in his bass and V-Hann in his e-guitar…and of course those who’ve been the gold plated ones…WeiJya, SHunwei, XiQiang…and who else…you guys have been great! I’m a lil unsure bout those playing what i’ve been playing…yea we do need new blood!!!! Looking forward to NTLP 10! Will it feature DNA? Hmmm..I wonder…

I was excited indeed…it has been a while since i last stepped into this once familiar place. I do miss uni life a lot..It has been one of the greatest moments in my life. So many things that happened in these three years…i grew a lot…physically (hahahahaha….), emotionally and mentally…and so does my walk with my ever faithful Friend. I’m still adapting to the new environment, new lifestyle, new people now…yeah..it has been a month working but i’m still adapting to it…Precious moments are great to be kept as memories, as life experiences..but life still has to move on..we still ought to shift into the next chapter of our lives…

1st Mission Trip - Sibu (30th June 2006)

Wednesday, July 12th, 2006

P6300025_2 Arriving at sibu airport, a land which i never step on before. I was excited, full with enthusiasm and eager to explore the beauty of this land. Earlier i found myself sweating all around in the plane. Partly because the weather was hot n we gotta get down from the plane n board another one as the 1st one has technical problems…the plane was delayed..and partly because the plane is like an oven…everybody is bringing in the heat from outside but there seems to be no air cond inside..But mostly…because i was afraid..haha..have to admit really..I havent been on a plane for more than half of my life. I’ve forgotten how did it felt like. But it certainly has caused me to have sweay palms now..My stomach felt as if thousands of butterflies are inside…ewe…especially when it’s going upwards…oh no.i couldnt imagine…its just like a roller-coaster. ya…sort of…but fyi…i DON’T enjoy roller-coasters..that’s why…ha…

but i’ll never forget the beautiful scenery when i looked outside. I marvel at how God could make such wonderful n beautiful creations…despite the fright that i was having earlier…it just amazed me by looking at the sky.. P6300012_5

Love? or preference?

Tuesday, July 11th, 2006

what is the reason causing a heart to be cold? what is a reason causing someone to leave? what is the reason causing a person to change so easily?

sometimes i really marvel at how God made man. Man has millions, billions, trillions of personalities and thoughts that we could never predict. Everybody is created with such a different and unique personality, and how can human who are all different live together? It’s all because of love..

Without love there will never be consideration and understanding. Without love there will never be peacemakers and care-takers. Yet humanly love can disappear just like that. Love for a girlfriend can just be forsaken when a prettier girl comes a long. Love for a friend can just diminish when quarrel and self ambition comes first. Love for a community can just fade away..when we are too caught up by our own agendas and personal preferences…

Are we doing everything out of love? or preference? Even for people, are we loving out of love? or preference?

The cramping scene

Tuesday, July 11th, 2006

8.15am is certainly not the best time to be at Hang Tuah monorail station, heading Titiwangsa.. I’d reather get here earlier or later..or else i’ll be caught in the cramping scene..ewe…

you would see people pushing ppl aside regardless of gender, age n profession, everyone just want to get their place into the train. sigh sigh…no courteousy, no consideration, no kindness at all. I wonder where does the morale lessons that we had in school went? i can assure you that people are worse than school kids..

no joke..that day i witness a malay n an indian guy quarelling n shouting, just after they got out of the monorail. and this morning i heard those "cicak" sound from an indian girl cos somebody kept pushing her behind..my experience is nothing better..i felt like being molested this morning as this guy..keep pushing n standing so close to my back where i can even feel his belt’s buckle!!!!! (probably he thought sticking closer will ensure him to be on a train same as me…EXCUSE ME?!?!?!)

well i’m not starting to complain. but i just felt disappointed and shocked at how people are. nobody cares. i have seen pregnant ladies who has to stand where others sat comfortably in the LRT, blind people have nothing to hold on to while a young girl leans ignorrantly on the pole. nobody cares.

where is the love in this community?

I’m back!
