Limited yet unlimited

7 days to go... My God created the whole universe, He spoke the earth into existence, all the ants and bees, hills and plains in seven days.. I'm pressed for time, He's not. He can surely do something for me within 7 days :)

The sun and the wind... these two elements are always good for my soul.. they whisper of the peace of God which transcends all understanding..I shall go for another short run today

Where are You bringing me...

Wherever You lead, I'll go... If You're not coming with me, I'm not budging! I insist You go before me and You go with me.

Highest praise

I'm flattered... You think too highly of me.. having given me such a challenge of faith. Gee, thanks Father God! I promise.. i will try to perform to expectation ;) But do help me along please. Bring me closer to You in this 'trip', no matter what.. no matter what

Even if

I stand together with Daniel and friends, although my furnace isn't of burning coals and fiery heat : Even if God doesn't come through for me.. I will still choose to worship and praise Him.

I wish..

I wish yesterday never happened...
I wish Someone can tell me everything's gonna be alright audibly...
I wish I can get to go Brissy...
I wish I know exactly how to break the news..

But amidst all the angst..
I pray that my tests will be turned into testimonies
I pray that my faith will see me through steadily
I pray that God's faithfulness will prevail
I pray that He will renew my strength like the eagle..
I pray that God will carry me in my weakness
I pray that He will lead me through this state of uncertainty
I pray that His Name will be glorified

Friggin bored!

So bored i resorted to coming here to kill time...walao.. DIE TIME DIE!! Lol...

God is faithful

And forever faithful He is... Doesn't that sum it all up?

Ok maybe will be more helpful with a few more words..

Despite all my complainings and grumblings...
Despite all my fears and failures...
Despite all my inappropriate critiques and judgements..
Despite all my spiteful words and careless thoughts...

Really, how could anyone stand me? I myself am quite disgusted...
Yet, my Heavenly Father stands by me.
What He sees in me, nobody does, nobody ever will.
As raw as He knows me, that's how real His love is.

Lawak gilerrr....

This came through as a forwarded email...i really do wonder if it is true.

Karangan budak darjah 4

Pagi itu pagi minggu. Cuaca cukup sejuk sehingga mencapai takat suhu beku. Sebab itu saya tidak mandi pagi sebab air kolah jadi air batu dan air paip tidak mahu keluar sebab beku di dalam batang paip. Pagi itu saya bersarapan dengan keluarga di dalam unggun api kerana tidak tahan sejuk. Selepas itu emak saya mengajak saya menemaninya ke pasar. Tetapi saya tidak mahu.

Selepas emak menikam perut saya berkali-kali dengan garfu barulah saya bersetuju untuk mengikutnya. Kami berjalan sejauh 120 kilometer kerana pasar itu letaknya 128 kilometer dari rumah. Lagi 8 kilometer nak sampai pasar saya ternampak sebuah lori kontena meluru dengan laju dari arah belakang.

Dia melanggar emak saya. Emak saya tercampak ke dalam gaung. Dia menjerit “Adoi!”. Lepas itu emak saya naik semula dan mengejar lori tersebut. Saya pun turut berlari di belakang emak saya kerana takut emak saya melanggar lori itu pula. Pemandu lori itu nampak kami mengejarnya. Dia pun memecut lebih laju iaitu sama dengan kelajuan cahaya. Kami pula terpaksa mengejar dengan lebih laju iaitu sama dengan dua kali ganda kelajuan cahaya. Emak saya dapat menerajang tayar depan lori itu. Lori itu terbabas dan melanggar pembahagi jalan lalu bertembung dengan sebuah feri.

Feri itu terbelah dua. Penumpang feri itu yang seramai 100 orang semuanya mati. Pemandu feri itu sangat marah. Dia pun bertukar menjadi Ultraman dan memfire pemandu lori. Pemandu lori menekan butang khas di dalam lori dia..lori itu bertukar menjadi robot Transformer. Mereka bergaduh di udara. Emak saya tidak puas hati. Dia pun terus menyewa sebuah helikopter di Genting Highlands dan terus ke tempat kemalangan. Dia melanggar pemandu feri yang telah bertukar menjadi Ultraman itu.

Pemandu feri itu terkejut dan terus bertukar menjadi pemandu feri semula lalu terhempas ke jalanraya. Pemandu feri itu pecah. Pemandu lori sangat takut melihat kejadian itu. Dia meminta maaf dari emak saya. Dia menghulurkan tangan ingin bersalam. Tetapi emak saya masih marah. Dia menyendengkan helikopternya dan mengerat tangan pemandu lori itu dengan kipas helikopter. Pemandu lori itu menjerit “Adoi..!” dan jatuh ke bumi. Emak say menghantar helikopter itu ke Genting Highlands. Bila dia balik ke tempat kejadian, dia terus memukul pemandu lori itu dengan beg tangannya sambil memarahi pemandu lori itu di dalam bahasa Inggeris.

Pemandu lori itu tidak dapat menjawab sebab emak saya cakap orang putih. Lalu pemandu lori itu mati. Tidak lama kemudian kereta polis pun sampai. Dia membuat lapuran ke ibu pejabatnya tentang kemalangan ngeri itu. Semua anggota polis di pejabat polis itu terperanjat lalu mati. Orang ramai mengerumuni tempat kejadian kerana ingin mengetahui apa yang telah terjadi. Polis yang bertugas cuba menyuraikan orang ramai lalu dia menjerit menggunakan pembesar suara. Orang ramai terperanjat dan semuanya mati.

Selepas itu emak saya mengajak saya ke pasar untuk mengelak lebih ramai lagi yang akan mati. Di pasar, emak saya menceritakan kejadian itu kepada penjual daging. Penjual daging dan peniaga-peniaga berhampiran yang mendengar cerita itu semuanya terkejut dan mati. Saya dan emak saya terus berlari balik ke rumah. Kerana terlalu penat sebaik saja sampai di rumah kami pun mati. Itulah kemalangan yang paling ngeri yang pernah saya lihat sebelum saya mati.

Ah...

It has always been a struggle, having that confidence in prayers AND at the same time the eerily-nagging knowledge that God has the final say. Like the almost-guaranteed, already-in-the-process kinda things, how wise is it to think outrightly that they will surely come to pass(because God is good, gracious and generous, His blessings are abundant, His mercies are enduring) to the extent that they are casually brushed off in prayers. And then sporadically be reminded that, who are we to even start with, to have such bold assumptions? Ahh, how frustrating! It's by God's grace that we Christians don't go crazy, debating within our inner beings. Me - at least (i think) am still sane.

A whole lot of biblical verses can be thrown out to counter those two different stands or views or whatever conflicting debatory issues you wish to call it. But nothing beats practical claims. How 'amusing' it is I find that that very previous night i went humbly in prayers, a little more fervent than my usual lie-face-up-on-my-bed-having-a-casual-pillow-talk-with-God-just-before-dozing-off, the very next day my visa was granted and a friend updated me with her apt hunt success. Oh, and timing is just right too with brother coming back for weekend then i can follow him up to kl. Haha.. now i can have a smilingly pillow talk with God =]

I sense something...

Day in day out... i anticipate. I wait. Good things come to those who wait ey? And with good things come great praises to the awesomest Name of all names! Once again, i'm blown away.

Another day came and gone

Not too bad, the tv offered some sort of entertainment. Went for a run too... I miss the pool downtown

Oscars

Not a big fan of the glitz-ie and glamour-ie awards events and stuff... but since Channel 5 (Mediacorp Spore) was showing it live, and I've got all the time in the world to kill, hence the 3.5 hours of a monday morning was devoted to the tv. Many of the mentioned movies I have not watched, so I decided to list it down, hoping to cross them off this year =)

1. Slumdog Millionaire (Best Film.. and a whole lot of other awards)
2. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
3. Milk
4. The Reader
5. Doubt
6. Frost/Nixon
7. Changeling

Oh, and note to self, a few must-watch movies releasing this year: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Up (animation), X-men Origins: Wolverine, G.I Joe...

Three

The lovely little town of Batu Pahat has 3 cinemas, 2 of which opened within a month just last Dec. And there are heaps of people out there who don't even know bp is. Haha, how's that? And then i tell u, the new cinema very power. You sit in for less than 1 hour can get frostbite dy. Crazy power ay?

Over-boredness strikes.. run run

So bored.. im contemplating goin to the cinemas and catch a movie by myself. Why not right? Movies here so cheap, rm5 or 6 can get dy... Something i've never done before, should i? Hmmm...

Daylight savings maybe?

The sun could still be seen at 7pm, here in batu pahat, johor. Longer daylight hours, but what to do with them?? Irony... with too much time at hand, i cant even grasp other things to kill time. Oh well, back to sheep counting.. one..two..three.....

2009.. overdue

2009 - a new year. The year of ox! The new phase of life... so few words, but such big things installed.. And God has prepared them all, are we ready to unwrap them?

On a side note, I've been back for 2 months and 17 days.. travelling, golek here and there, visiting friends, kl, vietnam, singapore, jb, mlc, kk, muar... heh, and dear old bp. And i'm still in bp.... bumming, rotting, biodegrading, sienning... where is the new phase of life? Lol!
