Simply Music




When was the last time we really sat down and enjoy a piece of music.. Or has it always been lady gaga?
Do you realise, the speed of out lives are probably moving so much faster than before.
Looking back at the days I was just lying in my bed, wasting my time away. Yeah, you betta believe it. I do that too.

I was in Taiwan, this is indeed a really great picture. To me at least it is.. I love the way you can just look into it and its telling me a story.
Brother Gary is truly a talent. He is also a really nice guy. Someone whom u can feel totally feel even by just having his company. His style is confident and calm. And thats truly my opposite.

We were playing I believe in You, while brother Ed took this pic. U will be surprised if I said, this was just a few seconds away from me up the stage.

I love God, I love the world god has created. The music has nothing to do with the liking, if it was not all for God..

29 or 291

There was this day, I took a bus with my best friend. Then we were chatting happily while the bus was moving. Then, he said are we on the right bus... Why is it going a different way. My answer was so classic. I said, ya. maybe they changed a new route.

WRONG!
Not to our surprise, it went back to the interchange. Then, when we came down, it said 29.. 1...

Life is like that isn't it. Sometimes we thought we were clear. So sure, but if we look again, the truth is not actually what we thought it was..

Squid Ink Pasta

Ate this in Taiwan. First time I realised my teeth were all black. Anyways I tried cooking it myself. It doesn't taste that bad actually. Cos afterall, you just need to get a pack from muji. They sell that in small packs. Yummy.

Whitney


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClJJ5RLPuCk&feature=related


As I was watching this video. It truly touched me. For the fact that she was so brave to stand on the stage once more to sing. While she probably know, some people might start making fun of her or expect alot from her.
As usual, words were nasty, and many were more concerned about their own money and ears. Indeed, it wasnt anyones fault and probably her own to get herself into such mess. And then what?

Would we be the ones to give a hand to someone at their lowest or just there when its the peak..

It is sad isnt it. Why cant we human be a little more compassionate.

Anyways, I will always love you cos u once made many felt love simply by singing. Who can ever do that.. Afterall, your talent is given by God. He will restore..

Long time no see

Hey there, when was the last time I actually had sometime for myself and wrote.. Not so much about who or what, but just time really quiet and still able to enjoy n marvel at things around. When did you feel this way too..
Surely, we would be able to see things clearer when peace is still intact within the busy streets we go everyday.
Have you once took time to rest ur mind and REALLY rest? Or u just realised how difficult it is to not think about ANYTHING cos everytime u do that, the big n small will crawl into the mind leaving no room for an empty space 'of' appreciation.

Imagine us in a room. A room you just got into, without no furnitures, no color, no water, no light, nothing.. What comes into your mind in that split second. Like me, would u start thinking about what color u might want that room to be? Where the bed's gonna be, how high is the hanging light .. what theme, what style and so on..?

What do u see when u see someone in the streets waving for a cab.. What if he/she came late waving a cab right in front of u..

Life is a choice? VS In life, we make choices..


Eat Pray Love, brilliant movie. A few things caught me. There's no wrong being idealistic. Then again, if we do not enjoy the process of making (in any kind) but focus only at the end results, would u be so sure you will be happy at the end of the day?!
So it's true, when life seem so hopeless, we being helpless, is God our last resort? Have we human always been like that? Treating people like shit sometimes, taking things for granted and only when we realise how wrong we are, we throw everything to God?

The social NETWORK. This is interesting. A true story once again, made into a movie. A brilliant idea, probably many had it. But here, I've learnt that its not about the idea alone. It's a few things;

1 to strike at the right time
2 to know what others want n need
3 to be able to be the first
4 to make it new within the present
5 n so on....

So, what would u wanna be... How r u going to make it work.. Whats in ur mind, is it clear?


Anyways, I m in SIBU now. God is good. Many got saved. Well, I am truly only an instrument. For Him of course.
Let us shine for Him. Shining does not always mean being on stage. To do what u love and do it well, thats what matters.
Learn to judge less, learn to understand someone or a situation before we start commenting (if worse, bad stuff)
Learn that to be happy, it is a choice.
If a dumb can be happy with what he has, why cant you.

Contentment is not easy, its not always other's fault things dont go our way..

We Learn n Grow





Staying in Vietnam for these days made me realised how fortunate we r in Singapore. For every few hours, in Vietnam, the lights will go, water will stop. Not for long, but what if u were doing something really important.
We were invited to Vietnam by Auntie Ngnn and Daniel.

Sometimes, dont u think its so wonderful and facinating how people meet people.. That we experience many different ways of life and that people can be so different but similar in many ways.

eyes closing.. type tomorrow.. Love you guys.. heres 2 paintings I did in Vietnam. Hope u like it ..

Sometimes


Sometimes, a little gesture can be more affective than a whole speech dont u think so...
I have been in this world enough to say, no matter where we go, or what we do, we humans, are quite very connected. When we were younger, we do childish things. Sometimes, when we dislike something or someone, we are very quick in acting up. We tend to tell ourselves. This is the last time I am going to have any contact with this person. I will never ever wan to see him again. I hate this, hate that. I cant stand the way she talks. I cannot even understand why is this person living in this world.
Sounds firmilar..
Oh well, human are human. There is no right nor wrong in many things. Its about what we have experienced and learnt along the way isnt it. Making mistakes is indeed a part and parcel of life.
Many at times, I would look back and reflect. Then I would think. Oh gosh, how could I have done that. Why would I even think that way and reacted accordingly to foolishness.
Anyways, as we grow older, we will still make mistakes, BUT this time, hopefully lesser, learning to deal with things more maturally. Knowing what to say and what not to say at certain times.

Few days ago, I received a pleasently surprise. My dear sister in Christ gave me this bear. Showing appreciation as she said she was grateful of the many things I have taught her and also, the few gifts received. Indeed. Who diesnt like to be appreciated. I for one get touched alot. This is a connection. A good one.

Yesterday, someone pressed my home bell twice. It is not common as most of the people I know be it family or friends would be working. My sister opened the door and it was Mcdonalds. The delievery man brought a fillet o fish meal and a cup of corn. For a moment, no one knew who was it for as none of us did an order with Mc. Oh... Ic...it was about an hour ago. My dearest friend sent me a message asking me, :' so .. what do you wanna eat from mc tonight?' As we were suppose to meet, I didnt thought much so I said, well, I will have to sing in KL this sat and sunday so anything fried wont be good. But if I had to choose, it would be McChicken, Double Cheese or Fillet. Of course, the fish is the healtiest.
Obviously, the Mc for dinner was only a prank so that I would be surprised. How sweet. I love surprises.. So in the night, Japanese was on me.

Is life just 'IT'? Should we let ourselves go sometimes to think out of the box? When was the last time u really cared for your loved ones.. Have you tried brightening their lives up? Some may say, but I dont really know what to do or give. Well, it is time to try to get to know someone better right? Whats the point of just living in a selfish world with oneself always the centre of attraction.

Quote of the DAY.. Do something you have never done before. To give, is good. But to give someone something they LIKE! is even better.

Knowing Youself.

What do you want..
Hows ur day so far..

Have u ever thought of what you want and what u need clearly?

Sometimes, people including me, would say to someone else. hey, u think too much.. Dont think too much.. But can we really do it? Or is it a supressed emotion which may explode someday.
What is the best way to be happy?
To not expect.
Can you do that. To give without any expectations and not feeling used or judged.

I came to a simple conclusion. Focusing on the good is always better than the bad. Doesnt mean that we doing that, the bad will go away forever. It just shows how strong a person you are controlling the mind. Making sure of what you want to feel and happen in your life.

As its said, whatever is in your mind most, would show what kinda person you are. It may not be so obvious to oneself, but it is clearly shown to others. can we call it 'the vibes'..

So, going back to thinking too much. When was the last time you really think.. To think for your family, your loved ones, yourself(NOT selfishly)..
When was the last time you had a beautiful dream. When was the last time you felt life is not 'dreamland' but great things thats happening in real. Do you believe that great things WILL happen to you?

A few things here would help us grow and move the right way.

1 Looking at the bright side.
The difference between not thinking at all, and the difference between thinking enough to know the consequences is, that one has no ability to guard his/her heart and going blindly. The other would have an understanding of how much damage might be done and they are prepared to take that risk while moving in a journey with optimism.

2 Be TRUE to yourself.
It doesnt seem hard to feel upset when something bad happens. What should we do then? Act happy? Like they say, 'open one eye and close the other?' Live in deniel?
I have been there done that enough to say, yes, they help, just tempelorily... But what the best way is, to be brave and face the reality. To realise that being true can solve any problems as the bible says, Truth will set you Free... Havent you heard. Truth hurts. BUT Lies KILLS.

3 Knowing your Limits.
Now, this is a very sensitive topic. NIKE says, JUST DO IT. ADDIDAS says, IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING. TISSOT says, ITs MORE THAN A WATCH, others say, IT DOESNT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS.
Many people now a days have the mentality that everyone is expending, so we JUST DO IT too. Be it in business, money, bags, watches we want, houses, etc.. and even the gfs/bfs in a single time, afterall, IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING.
Have you ever been in a place and it is full of people that you cannot breadth, have your shoes turned black, feeling sweaty and still having to rub against others' swear n so on? Is that better than having enough people but still having good space to relax and enjoy!
Knowing our limits is not something others can teach or tell you. This is called self realisation. To be able to guard urself before getting into trouble.
Mind you, I did not say expending is bad. It is always good to have a big dream. The question is, are you or not aware that whatever you believe in is worthdy for you. Are you set to strive and let go of what you have now. Because we will never know what the future can give, but everything takes time and foundation MUST be built on solid grounds. One cannot have 2 sides of the world. When you know your limits, you will be able to be the best, in ur best without having to try catch your breadth.

4 Listen to your Heart.
People like to hear only the things they like to listen to. The advertisers are not made big for nothing you know! When a slogen or a quote is being approved, it does not mean it is totally right, or wrong in all context. Human is being made in such special ways that if 10 people did exactly the same thing, there bound to be similarities but NEVER 100% the same. Come on, give God His credit. Even a twin brother will never be the same all the time.
So, as people are different, we think differently, act differently, and therefore, how can we be sure who to trust and what to believe. Listen to your heart. Only when you know how to do that, u will know what is good for you.

5 Think before we say or do.
It is very important to think before we say or do anything. Baby, I love you. I promise you that I will never leave you. You are the one and only and I will be there for you whenever you call my name. Sweet talking or real?
See, no one likes listening to ugliness. Everything is being packaged. U have books teaching you how to manage your love ones, your bosses, your clients etc. And who said they were bad. I believe that those who came up with the books probably had those problems before and wanted to help. Its those who made knowledge into weapons hurt others' feelings with it. We are not just talking about love here. In situation we are in, seriously, if you dont think you can do it, dont say it.

6 Be responsible.
You know why more and more people are sick? This has nothing to do with the body alone. It is mostly because the heart of one, is ill. People are learning to give lesser and lesser and they expect to gain most while giving peanuts. How many times would you meet someone who doesnt mind giving. Of course, that person would have learnt that giving is receiving and because of that, been blessed enough so that they can give to others.
Worse, many people say things they dont deliever. Bosses PROMISED you a pay rise. He promised a promotion which never comes. Mummy promised me too buy me a toy car. Dad promised to come home for dinner. My son promised not to smoke again. She said she was going to be here by 3pm. I thought he said he is going to love me and be faithful...

This has nothing to do with luck. Its the mentality.
People who are responsible tend to get affected a little more and when trust is gone. Its really no point hanging on. Then people drift. They loose faith. Those that move on moved. Those who cant, get sick, tired, jaded.
So, what are you?

7 Stay Closely to the ones that you love and loves you
Is it hard? Of course. If we are those that never are contented. Always looking for something new. Cant decide. Cant make up our minds. Dont know what we want. Always serching for something that we think is better.
Someone once told me, if you keep changing churches, you will never stop. Its like if you keep changing partners, have u ever thought about it, the problem doesnt lie on them, its you.
When was the last time we had dinner with someone we loved. (NOT by FORCE!) When was the last time we treated our wifes to something she wanted. (NOT by FORCE) When was the last time we told ourselves, that we wan to give instead of just receiving..

I had a conversation with a friend once. And when we were talking about his love life. I said, 'your lover is really fortunate to have you.' He said, :'no, I am the fortunate one.'

It got me thinking. Would someone say this if he didnt felt contentment. If he didnt felt that that was IT for him....


So, who are you?
What do you want?
What do you need...
If you are still searching, pray that the heaven will teach you to know yourself.
If you are where u are, pray that your mindset is a healthy one.
If you are always the giver, know this, you are on the right track.
If you are always the receiver, learn to give.
If you need love, give love.
If you are lonely, know that God loves you and dont fall.
If you have nothing good to say, dont say.
If you dont want something, dont do that to others.


Lets learn to give. Like a mother to a child. A teacher to a student. Jesus to humanity.
Love you Guys

I just realised






I just realised there is actually so many things I have not discovered for myself with the Iphone. And omg! 4G is coming out!

Just as my old Iphone was being picked pocketed, I got my new one and 4g..........
So long since I have written anything here.. Guess its time I start writing and updating.

Been great.. busy but its all great.

Finally, our FDP magazine is coming out.. and all my friends are going to be inside.. All are called and some are chosen.. kaka..

Anyways saw Liang's advert on the Casio. Its great seeing everyone doing their best and shining for God..

Jia you la everyone..

I was walking along my old estate yesterday, and I found so much peace there. It is amazing isnt it, how sometimes we dont realise the things happening around us until we really take sometime to watch n think..

Thai Express.



Eating is luxery... Dont u think so? I was having dinner at Thai Express with a friend. It was really fun.. We had alot of stuff.. Of course, knowing me, I ordered alot cos I was really hungry. By the time I was full up, there were still a bit more to finish and I had to force myself. Even though, still, it was really nice.

Ha.. here r some pics.. I believe I took 4-6.. dont really know where have they gone to ..

I took them....






isnt life beautiful

I went jogging yesterday with a friend.. This pic was taken as I saw the sky turned really peaceful

Praising Him




Once, someone asked me. Why do you pray before you eat? If you dont pray, would u be punished? If you pray, would God drop money from heaven...
Once, someone asked me. Can God hear us even from so far away.. Where is He...

To me, God has been really true and real. His presence has made my life a different one. Some say thats probably because you believe. Indeed, Believeing in something or someone truely mean alot and would show what outcome you will have. Afterall, if ur confidence came from God, what can go wrong. As the bible says, REST IN ME...

Anyways, I pray before I eat, simply because it is a coverage for devine health. For the protection from food poisoning..
When it's time of troubles, God hears us. And even before we say much, He knows. He already knew. All we needed to do is to 'ask and it shall be given to us..'

3 days in JB, many were saved, impressed by the works of God. As for me, of course, it's all glory to Him, but I guess, I see things differently. I saw the grace of God. That He wanted more n more people be in unity. Even so, many churches have different cultures, different ways of expressing God's love, the focus and purpose is still, Jesus... If only all men knew that what ever we possess, its not eternally kept, we might just be happier. To understand that we are all instruments put together to play a beautiful piece of art, master piece. That we must learn to let go and do the right things. To PRAISE HIM. In life, I believe, we only live once. Therefore, there is no 2nd chance. Learn to stand up even if we fell. To do better, but to do the right things and also doing things right. Make sure, our purpose is right.

Question.. do we all know what RIGHT is?
