THINGS....

... I Have Heard

"If God can be proven by theories, equations and formuli then there is no reason to believe in Him, all He wants is your FAITH.." Grace, CPR

"What do you call a female transformer?.........Transistor" Joshua Prakash, CF Meeting

...I Have Seen

"Beer is cheaper than petrol now.....Drink Don't Drive" Eric, E-mail

"Ben lost weight....he is so thin and he wants to be cekap now!" Mum, SMS

Hell Boy.......not too bad a movie. Better than the first one.

...I Have Felt

Here I want to wish my condolence to Zhing Hui on the loss of her mother. People if you have met her, you would know that her spirit is so strong. She really shows the example of what Honouring Thy Parents means.



P.S. Sorry for not updating. :P

BIBLE NEST

About a few days ago, as I was leaving for church, I opened my bible and urgh, ants built a nest in my bible. First of all it took just one night cause the night before I was reading it and the next day, the nest was built. It was disgusting and it took quite a while to actually destroyed it. Was really trying real hard not to get bitten but of course kena also la. Hmm I was looking at this situation as a Christian, how easy sin can creep into our lives. We can ask God to forgive us today and by the next day we are back to sinning. And each time we sin, God gets 'bitten' by it. We hurt Him. But yet we still do it.

Anyway in other news, was feeling a bit unappreciated the last few days. I just feel as if I was a ball to kick at. Left, right, left, right and when people got their goal, they just kick you to another side. I'm so sick of the ignorance and also the silent treatment I keep getting.....................................................................

PHASES

Hey gang, sorry for not blogging soo long. Was having some bloggers block (but not tat I type out great posts haha). I have been blog hopping the last few days and I feel so small in the blogging world. I'm the type of person who is very simple so my blogs are simple and it's just an avenue of output and also to share some things that touched me, like what happened on Sunday.

We all grow up somehow. Sunday was a day I got to see my brother grow up. Ben was admitted to UKM in Bangi and it was kinda weird to see my little brother going to university. I have always viewed him as still the small boy that I love so much. Well he is literally no more small but he's still my brother. To see him entering his university, I'm proud to have a brother like him. Although now we are even further apart but distance make the heart grow fonder right?

Phases....we live through it, we face it everyday. Whether it is a short or long phase, we still need to face it with open hearts and minds. A lot of people have problems with moving through phases. I'm one of them. I'm a person who likes regularity and familiarity (for someone who is doing research where being spontaneous is important). I remembered my first week in university, I was so not accustomed to the whole uni life thing, that after 1 day I wanted to leave USM. But one thing about phases are that we get through it in differenct pace. I'm now on my 6th yr in USM and loving every second of it.

The Le Chatelier prinsip says in any changes in a reaction, the reaction will try to find a balance. I guess that's how we should live our lives. With balance. And if there are any changes to our system, find the balance of it............

In other news, I finally paid the order fee for my car. Another new phase =)

15th OF JUNE

I can't believe it's been 1 year. Yes I've crossed my 5th year here in USM KKj. Today onwards, I'm starting my 6th year. Hmm........1 year so fast. Cannot really believe that

A year ago, I decided to make the biggest decision of staying back another few years for my masters. I still remember it was Friday that my dad took my back here. It was almost like being in first year. He helped me cleaned up before leaving and then asked whether I want to follow him back. I said no. After meeting my supervisor, it was only 3 pm. And I was feeling lonely all the sudden. So I decided to follow a friend back to Ipoh.

A year ago, I was kicked out of hostel and forced to live outside. For a while it was enjoyable, but I missed hostel life. Thank God after 3 months, I was able to move back into hostel and still enjoying every moment of it.

A year ago, I really had no clue what my research is about. I can still remember the tonnes of journal I had to read and the tonnes of websites I had to digest before moving on. The many proposals, corrections and craziness in preparing myself. Now I'm half way done, and I've learnt so much.

A year ago, I cannot imagine where my funds would come. Although Uncle Frank gave me my initial start, but that money won't last me until I finished. Praise God for his faithfulness, I got a scholarship from USM and currently just doing my work and fulfilling their needs as a GA.

A year ago, I was all ready to become an advisor to the CF. I've learnt so much from being a listener. But it was hard, I tend to give my views and comments as a senior. Learning to let go and learning to just listen. Give advices where needed.

So much has happened......and I really thank God for it all

GOSPEL TRUTH

Was blog hopping some random blogs and stumbled upon a blog by one of my brother's friend....was intrigued and cannot stop thinking about one of the statments he put in his blog

"If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself"

Saint Augustine

How many times have we tried to reason with God about what believing in Him really means? Hmm I have to admit, I'm guilty in this area many times..........

NEVER ALONE

A song introduced by a internet friend.

Never alone
-by Jim Brickman
May the angels protect you
Trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you when its time to go home
May you always have plenty
The glass never empty
Know in your belly
You're never alone

May your tears come from laughing
You find friends worth having
As every year passes
They mean more than gold
May you win and stay humble
Smile more than grumble
And know when you stumble
You're never alone

Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you're never alone

I have to be honest
As much as I wanted
I'm not gonna promise that cold winds won't blow
So when hard times have found you
And your fears surround you
Wrap my love around you
You're never alone

HORTON HEARS A WHO

Recently got to watch some animations. Haven't really seen one for a long time. And I stumbled upon this new animation called 'Horton Hears a Who'. An adaptation from a book of the same name by the famous Dr. Seuss. Now I remember watching an episode in Oprah about this. She said that Dr. Seuss is such a deep deep person. I really think he is. You can imagine the messages you can get from the movie. The movie has the voice of Jim Carrey, Steve Carell and the ever great Carol Burnett. 3 funny people to make this funny and yet touching movie. If you can go check it out.



Here are two quotes that inspired me:



"A person's a person, no matter how small...........................Horton"



"I meant what I said and I said what I meant. An elephant's faithful, 100%.............Horton"



Hmm some things to think about don't you think so
