Resting In Christ: Not An Ordinary Rest

I went to TRAC Young Adult Convention, on 29th-31st August.

It was great. Besides good buffet food, hi tea and supper, air cond, and hot shower at Empress Hotel, Sepang, I was fed well spiritually, blessed, and had a great time with the attendee too.

It's great. I felt great. To stay in a hotel, is nothing I can expect more. It's good, especially while having great time with brothers and sisters in Christ. Indeed, it's a time set for relaxing, where I got rid from daily updates -msn, facebook, blogs, emails. There were so many little things that would confuse my day. In fact, that was a time for God's purpose alone. It's refreshing, great, encouraging and challenging.

Dr Leong, who was the speaker in the convention, stressed on the calling in workplace, when he gave his session talks. He said, a career-minded person would pursue the advancement of his/her career. He/she would focus on the selfish area. He/she would frustrate easily. However, when we know our calling, wherever we are, we would be blessed by God, He would take care our needs. It's okay if we are not to be promoted. It's okay we don't get pay rise. He has a plan for us. However, we need to know the calling.

To summarize all things in short, this is it.

The Great Comforter

When we are in need, eg: lack of money, injured, depressed, sad, what do people say to us?

"Don't be sad larh ..."

"Take care of yourself ... "

"You try ask other people and see, Ah Sorh ?"

...etc...

I'm NOT complaining, nor emo-ing. It's just I have to share a person with you.

When people are sick, others usually say: "Drink more water ah!"


In this case, what is the most comforting to hear?

In bible, Jesus said: "Come to me ..." in Matthew 11:28.


This is how great He is. This is how the teachings of the bible. And this is why it's life's manual.

Into The Mood of Celebration !

"Merdeka, Merdeka, Merdeka," did they shout it? How many times they shouted at Dataran Merdeka, and you were there on scene?

Saturday, I went to church, which was just beside Dataran Merdeka, I saw a crowd was gathering at the field. I didn't bother it. I was purposed to attend cell group. It is important to read God's word, it's life's manual.

After it was over, at 4.42pm, I went to kepoh, checked out what was happening in the crowd.

I wasn't sure, as everyone stood up, then sat down again, repeated quite a few time.

Later, after the Information, Unity, Culture and Arts Minister came, then only I know that it was the launching of Merdeka Day.












Some were performing cincai-ly ... =(

I'm Stil Strong

This time, fever has struck me very badly. Sometime, I can't read, I can't concentrate.

I had fever too, 2 weeks ago. I went to see doctor, she gave me some medicine. I refused to buy paracetamol from her, as it would cost extra for me. I got Penadol from my housemate, anyway, thanks to her.

The doctor was not so comfortable to see me again today. She checked my body with her stethoscope, like how she did last time.

I was drinking water from the machine filter down stair, everyday. She asked me not to drink it from there anymore. Probably, the water source was not clean, perhaps, algae has bred over there.

Today, I went home to rest straight after seeking from doctor. After I woke up, there was a light headache, i was not easy to get myself to get up. Then, I had to drag myself to buy food and water. From the 5th floor, taking lift to the ground, walked, and climb up one level to buy the economy rice. With my hair untidy, who cares, I'm sicked.

I was so lazy to boiled water and eat, go toilet and do anything.

A Cross to Carry

Carrying up a cross is a no-easy task.

Following Christ is like a go against the crowd.

I was like missed out the weekend fun.

I'm like a foolish person in the world.

Live by faith, not by sight, is needed to be practice.

It's so heavy, It's so big, the cross.

Am I too stubborn to follow Christ?

Jesus, help me !

Mission Has Begun

As a new student, I have been excited to start my class. As far as I can see, 90% of my friends feel the same too.

We don't like feeling lazy to go class. We don't say: "Class again? Boring larh..."

19 of us in a class, who take Digital Film & Television (DFTV) for first semester. Almost half of us are international student. Some are from Indonesia, some are from Iran, some are from Zimbabwe, some are from countries that I never heard before. That's cool.

Today was our first day, had two subject classes. It was kinda fine. Classmates were not as friendly as I thought. But most of them have working experiences that I don't have. I'm very much to get to learn from them. Hopefully we can work as a team, in a class, in a very healthy way.

Basically, that's all. Have some assignment on hands. One of it is, I need to interview a well-known personality (eg: producer, director, or manager). They challenge us to go out-campus for our work. That's what I like too. I'm looking forward to learn more, from lecturers and fellow classmates. =)

Reluctant to Know

The grandma-type, you have met them, haven't you?

They are not to know any more. For example, you teach them computer (e-mail or play games). Now can play Mahjong on computer already? They refused to learn. They refused to know. They say: "You learn lah ..."

They thought they have already know, or they don't need to know, because they are ready to leave the earth.

I'm not here to offense anyone, but to project the image of people.


I myself, sometime, refused to learn too. For example: in shopping complex, a promoter came to promote their product. I avoid to talk to them. It's because I don't want to hear them, because I have to pay for the product!!! I usually don't use new product, it's not proven to be good to me. Promoter usually promote, not telling the ugly side, so it's hard to listen to them.

On the other side, a "product" is proven, used by many people globally, over all the earth. It's not new, it has been exist since beginning. Most important is, that it's free! We don't have to pay, as it has been paid.

You are not not-listening, you just need time. Ya, please do think about it, friend. =)

Cyberjaya

This is Cyberjaya. I assume that not many of you have came to Cyberjaya/Putrajaya. People who stay in KL/PJ also seldom come here. Haha. So, here are some brief review of my current place.

Basically, the place here is not bad. We have pedestrian path (just like Singapore). Yet, the traffic here, and population is much surprised to me. This is a city, well-build, well-architect-designed, but here is more likely a dead city/ isolated city. It's good thing also lar, no traffic jam, less polution. Amen ! =)


We have a bus stop here. Not bad uh, the design? Every bus-stop looks like that, very standardized!


This is the bus that takes me to Uni. Praise God, it's free ! Hallelujah !

Frankly, I prefer to go out at night. The night view here is cantik! Especially in Putrajaya, where the bridges are. However, I have just passed by, not been there in person. We have need a car to go there. Now, who want to come here? Hehee...

I Was Hired as Accountant !

Hey ya. I'm doing account. Haha.


I'm doing it for myself. You can do the same.

It's annoying to record down every purchase that I've made. But, it does prevent me to buy things that I don't need. So, basically my mind is "the less I buy, the less I need to remember".

I use Excel. The thing that I don't use other ready-made software in the market, it's because I can customize Excel according to my needs.

I try to get my monthly expenses lesser and lesser, haha, if it will ever happen. Well, do check with me next year, whether I still do my account. Haha. I used to write diary when I was small. Then, I stopped for don't-know-what reason. Hehe.

Today's Me

My God is still placing me under a leader who I personally think that I am better than him.

Many times, my thinking was :"I can lead better than him."

"Why I am under him?" In terms of experience, I know that I have it more. Moreover, he is not keeping everyone involve, where unity is power. When people unite, power is there.

Perhaps I have more to learn being a follower, before I have a bigger responsibilities.

Luke 16:10 says :"He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much: and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much."

I just have to wait.

Graffiti at Pasar Seni

While I was waiting bus at Pasar Seni, I saw these people doing something on the wall.










There is a more "creative" one too:
hahaa...

This is good:

and I find this below it's outstanding, the best of the best! It came out in Thestar headline.
