Today is last day of August!so fast...next month will be an exciting month...AHEM...**clears throat**
Had a good day today...met up with my relatives and had lunch together...
then tried to be a professional photographer using Nikon...hahaha...the pictures shall speak on my behalf...=D
arrrhh...im not sure how to write this blog. Do i reveal the deep thoughts of my mind or my emotions or do i say something general and over-the-counter kinda stuff or do i share my testimony here or do i say something so that it may encourage the readers of this blog?
its so frustrating...even typing this is frustrating!
There used to be a time when no one knows or bothers to find out about what you think or do in your life. Now there's FB and blog and tweeter that tells ppl the latest updates of your life and that has become like a passive way of communicating with people...
it defeats the purpose of being a human...which is to build a community and be a community but we have become a virtual community.
Do you know that preemies(premature babies) that are being massaged daily with the loving touch from their parents or nurses has a higher chance of surviving?
being able to hear their parents speak to them or to see their face...love is being communicated.
How can you FB a preeemie!!! or use the mobile phone to speak to your baby???or send your love and wishes thru a card!!!???
you know wat i mean...the very need of a human being is to have a relationship be it friendship or family...where love is being communicated...by spending time together and another 4 more languages...
ok...i'm not saying you can't buy gifts or talk on the phone or chat online or sms.
i'm just saying...don't take your family and friends for granted...show them your love today and tell them before its too late when they leave this earth and never to return...
and i think i am speaking for myself...at least for myself...

O' happy day, happy day...
This song is like stuck in my head...its so happy...
Today is Merdeka Day for Malaysia!woohoo...can you feel the excitement??? cos it used to be more joyful when i was a kid...now its more on a serious note. Independence day leh...don't play play...serious stuff...i think its a blessing for Malaysia to be an independent country. and certainly it wasn't easy to achieve it! i can't say that i'm independent cos i'm still living under my parent's roof.
oh well, it doesn't mean i don't need any help, it just means being Asian...hahahaha...
anyways, pastor K preached about faith and testimony on all 4 services. It was about having the faith to get the testimony. Testimony is not a testimony without faith at works.
A quick recap of what happened 2 days ago:
1) a uni friend confessed she's feeling suicidal. She's not even close to me. well, cos she's in australia cos she's born there. i told her to pray to Jesus. talk to Jesus and i gave her the salvation's prayer. Thank God for minizine!!!i was frantically searching for it cos she could go offline anytime.
2) i sorta 'forced' another uni friend to sign up for WCA. I didn't do it cos i felt 'pressured'. I felt that it would really really encourage this friend of mine cos he was given VSS and now is jobless. instead of staying at home feeling depressed and useless, i was quite adamant that he should come for this and he WILL be blessed. i believe he will be. Even if he doesn't, at least he has spent 4 hours NOT feeling depressed. I have never 'forced' anyone to go for seminars or events like this if i don'tt believe in it.
ok...didn't seem like a quick recap after all...hahaha...
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Psalms......

My inspiration...
Unplugged happened tonight and it was a really enjoyable time of listening to talented people performing especially Mia, Ellie and Tessie...most of all Tessie...she's just amazing...her life is such a testimony of God being real in our lives.
And that real-ness or reality, can only be experienced. It cannot be just told. You can't say that this water in the glass is cold until you drink it.
And i'm a believer of practicing what you preach THOUGH sometimes i fail to practice what i preach...and i guess its becos i didn't believe what was being TOLD to me until i have EXPERIENCED the effects of making those unwise decisions.
Today i read from 2 Kings 5:1-15 about how Naaman was healed of leprosy.
Naaman went to see prophet Elisha and was expecting to be healed according to the ways he know but all he got was a message to go wash himself in this not-so-clean river 7 times and he shall be healed. Of course, being a commander of the army...what is this nonsense to do something so simple? But he must've been a pretty good boss cos his servant advised him to try it out anyway cos if the prophet had told him to do something great, Naaman would've done it rite..wat more...this simple act? And so Naaman did...and he was healed and he said in 2 King 5:15 'Now i know that there is no god in all the earth, except in Israel.'
ALL this TROUBLE just to have Naaman recognized that there is only 1 God.
And..perhaps...all that we're going through now...good and bad...is just for us to know...that only Jesus is God and Him alone..

House dedication...
I just want to thank God for the wonderful friends and people that choose to spend their Friday night with me and put the hands in the plow with me...
and the gifts!wow weee...i really like the plant with red flower...and lots of Famous Amos!!! and the picture frame which can put my studio (ahem) pictures...
I hoped everyone enjoyed themselves with the fellowship and food that was served...i wish i could have more talking time with everyone...catch up and all..but...i was like running around...so i'm really grateful to all who set up the bbq pits and cook the chicken and the few people who chose to stay back and clean up the grillers and the floor for me...EVERYONE played a part in making this such an enjoyable time...you can't imagine how tiring it was for me...
BUT...i'm really glad i could bless my friends with this simple gathering..i have always wanted to have gatherings in my house...just that my previous house was too small and too mafan to get parking...
know wat...they blessed me more in return!!gosh...this little Tweetie bird went around getting people to sign the card and collect love offering...this is the first time in my life i got a love offering for having a house warming...haha..
Thank you for your generosity...=) God bless you heaps!
