CHRIST-My-Almightly-Saviour

Christmas is just a week away!!! It's that time of the year where Christmas trees are up, decorations everywhere and people rush of to do their shoppings. Tis the season to be jolly, the season for giving! With the Christmas season all commercialized, are we aware of the true meaning of Christmas?

Indeed Christmas is the season for giving and God gave the greatest present to all. He gave His only son for us, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We hear of the Christmas story every year and we sing of it in the carols, but do we really feel it in our hearts? Jesus left all His glories in heaven to walk upon this earth and eventually to die for our sins, so that we may be able to come back to God. He did not just die but He rose on the 3rd day, the grave is empty and we rejoice and serve a risen Saviour!

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whosoever beliveth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:16-17

Do you want a friend who is always there for you? Through your ups and downs and carries you through all your troubles. Someone who promises to guide you through life's journey, walking with you hand in hand through thick and thin. Find you when you stray too far not to condemn but to lead you back to the proper path and shower you with His love. This friend I have is Jesus. He'll always be there for you, all you need to do is believe in Him and follow Him.

The language of Jesus is love,
Just one word can bring healing and life
To each heart that has hungered,
For kindness and truth
Through the trails, and the triumphs of life

The language of Jesus is love,
It tells the greatest story ever told
Such grace and tenderness,
Mere words could not express
The language of Jesus is love.

I'M BACK I'M BACK!!!!

Wheeewww!!! It's been a really long time since I've blogged, the last blog was when I was still in India to be exact. Been running around quite abit since I've got back from India. Didn't stay in a particular place for more then 2 weeks since I've been back and this would continue till the end of the year. Travelling, travelling and more travelling! It's been the usual KL-JB travellings and the 1 week each of the road trip with friends and vacation to South Korea with family. Currently back in JB, going for youth camp tomorrow and back to KL on Sunday.

So, Christmas is just around the corner and we stand at the treshold of another year. This year has been a year of many changes, changes for the good and I can see my life slowly moving forward. Not much of a wish-list for this Christmas but loads of thanks to God for bringing me through this year and all the lessons that I've learned throughout the year. For the wonderful experience in India and His protection.

Most of all I thank Him for bringing someone special into my life. She's like a breath of fresh air but takes my breath away when she smiles or looks at me with those beautiful eyes. She can go on talking for hours but has the cutest laugh that can make you all mushy inside. My prayer will be that God will guide us and bless us as we walk down this road together.

All I want for Christmas is YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! =D

PRAISE YOU IN THIS STORM

This time in 1 week I'll be done packed and ready to head to the airport back home. So much has been going on. So many plans has to be cancled or post-pone. Ever had so many things crumble at the same time? So many plans that have to be shifted? Been working on something for so long but then now it's like on hold not knowing weather it can continue. Questions, questions, so many questions and thoughts going through my head. Will it all be deja-vu again?

PRAISE YOU IN THIS STORM by CASTING CROWNS
I was sure by now
God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to you
And you raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You

But as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

"He hath made everything beautiful in His time;" Ecclesiastes 3:11a

CAN I HAVE THIS DANCE

Imagine a football player coming back after a long injury on the side-lines. That’s also the feeling of how it’s like getting back into the dating scene. Nervous during the first few minuets of the returning competitive match, skills are all rusty and extra effort has to be put in training to get back to form. Dating/being in a relationship can more or less be compared to dancing. Just think of the time put in to perfect that dance move; it isn’t all just because of chemistry between each other. Both parties has to be committed/dedicated to learn the steps together, learn to accept each other’s flaws and work with it, and most of all learn to trust each other. Another thing I learn is also to be very much patient as your partner learns the move. We’re not all born dancers.

Trusting your partner through many difficult manouvers the dance require and be ready to catch each other when either falls, supporting and lifting them up in times of need. So only after practising together and the trust grows only the routine will be perfected. This will then present a couple full of confidence in each other and the dance will be done with perfect harmony and chemistry.

Take my hand ,take a breat
Pull me close and take one step
Keep your eyes, locked on mine
And let the music be your guide.

Won't you promise me (Now won't you promise me)
That you'll never forget (We'll keep dancing)
To keep dancing, wherever we go next

It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance?
Can I have this dance?

Take my hand, I'll take the lead
And every turn will be safe with me
Don't be afraid, afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you through it all

And you can't keep us apart (Even a thousand miles can't keep us apart)
Cause my heart is where ever you are

No mountain's too high and no ocean's too wide
Cause together or not, our dance won't stop
Let it rain, let it pour, what we have is worth fighting for
I know I believe, that we were meant to be

THOUGHTS

Went out shopping again today!!! Things in India are really quite cheap is you know where to look. Anyway, so many things has been going on lately. Was just sitting at the beach today staring out at the open sea, taking a break from the hectic schedule just to be with my thoughts. When you just look around there's so much to blame and think that life is just that unfair, but I would like to take it from a different prespective. To us alot of things may seem unfair, but to God these are things that may help to mould us and shape us for His ways are perfect.


Sometimes God breaks our spirit to save our soul,
Sometimes He breaks our heart to make us whole
Sometimes God sends us pain so we can be stronger,
Sometimes He sends us failure so we can be humble
Sometimes God sends us illness so that we take better care of ourselves,
Sometimes He takes everything so we will value what we have.


For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isiah 55:9

BROKEN TRUST

Time really flies when there's so much to do. Can't really believe that I'll be back in Malaysia in less then a month. 27 days to be exact! So many things has changed and is different from when we left Malaysia 5 months ago. Under the glossed-up surface is a constant wave of tension on top of broken trust. It may be something simple but to me, trust plays the biggest role in any form of relationship. Once its broken, its hard to piece it all back. It takes time, patience and a whole lot of pain to put it back. Just like when piecing back together a broken vase. In the end I hope we'll work things out here before going back and leave what's in India in India.
A 5 year old boy asked his friend, "what is friendship"? She replied, "Friendship is when you rob my chocolates everyday from my bag and I still keep it in the same place".

MERDEKA MERDEKA MERDEKA!!!

So our beloved country, Malaysia, turns 52 tomorrow with the government bringing in the 1Malaysia concept. Do we really need this? All of us has grown up in a multi-racial environment and why are racial tensions still there? Is it the influences from school, public, government or family that causes this? So with all the diversity on the outside but the racial tensions on the inside, does the slogan 'Malaysia, Truely Asia' fits? Just a little thought as we celebrate another year of independence.

On a lighter note, being out of the country gave me the opportunity of what people think about us. You'll only know if we're good or bad when others comment on us. Just a few of it below. This are real comments and not something that I've made up to make us look good.

1. 'Malaysians are really neat and tidy in their dressings' - HOD of the physio department

2. 'I really admire the hygine and cleanliness of Malaysians' - a patient (wait till he goes to the streets of Chee Cheong Kai,lol)

3. 'Malaysian food is really really awesome!!!'- a local student who has been to Malaysia

4. 'Malaysians are really friendly and polite'- from patients and local people

There was alo this few local students whom I think will win the best comment so far. So my friends and I were chatting over a meal together with them. The conversation follows below:

Me: 'Speaking in english with one of the others'

Local dude: Hey, why don't you all speak to each other in your language?

Me: Local language? What local language?

Local dude: Yeah man, like Malaysian language.

Me: LOL!!!

Yeap...after awhile I finally realised what he meant was Bahasa Malaysia as the 'Malaysian language'. So I had to explain to him that BM was only our official language on paper and we speak any other languages with each other. Another thing is the locals really do think I'm from either China or Tibet. Really have to explain to them that I'm a Malaysian-Chinese and a pure Malaysian, nothing to do with China.

To just a few that I've experienced here, on the outside people do see us as one. So are we like this on the inside also? Blessed Merdeka all!!!
