I'm not advertising for the shampoo......hahaha...its just wat happens when a person comes 2 know Christ as their personal Lord & Saviour.
Just last nite, a fren of mine, whom I actually met in Cell, in Sg. Long, accepted Christ!!! Yaay! She has been comin 4 a while, but just recently accepted Christ...
Accepting Christ is always de best & most important (Yea, even more important than who you get married 2) decision in ur entire life!!! And when u do, all heaven rejoices!
Heres wat I mean:
Luke 15
7 I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.
Over the past 2 months, I've realised how important it is to be faithful with all the little things in life...
It all started in December, where I was helping out with the sound in my local church production - Drunk Before Dawn (http://www.sibkl.org.my/htm/DBD/index.html) Go check out de pics...I was jus doin some real background thing la, basically helpin de main sound guy dat all was OK.
Then, I came back to Penang, where they were doing a Christmas drama - 2300 (http://www.rgbc.net/2300/) I jus went 2 one of de practices, and de Director, whos also my youth pastor asked me to do de lights, with a good fren of mine - Marc, and so, I gladly accepted...all went really well!! He kept praising de both of us 4 a job well done.
Next, we were gonna do an appreciation thingy 4 our youth pastor who was movin on - so, all de guys got together 2 do sth, and asked me 2 act!!! Being very grateful for all de youth pastor had done, I accepted again! Wow! people really seemed 2 like de performance, and dis boosted my confidence a whole lot... ME! In action!!! OKla, I'm not reli in action la, but dis pic was taken just after de appreciation thingy...
I came back to UTAR, Sg. Long, as the new sem was starting...our CF (Christian Fellowship) was holding its recruitment 4 de new intake, and I was asked 2 act - apparently I have lots of facial expressions?? :), :p, :O!! so, I agreed la...and it was really awesome, yet again!! So now we're on a roll rite? hehe....
Just when I tot all was over, someone noticed me, and asked me 2 emcee 4 the annual Talent Nite!!! Walau! After a lot of persuasion, and coaxing, I accepted!! Actually, I din wanna stress myself out la, but they all practically begged me....so OK! This was just on Saturday nite.......ohhh!!! everyone loved it!! Wow! even I'm amazed at how well we did...thanks Angel 4 askin & of course, Cass, 4 backin me up always - since I'm de noob...God Bless You!!!
So heres wat I learned:
Matthew 25
The Parable of the Talents
20The man who had received the five talents brought the other five. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.'
21"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'
It's buggin me!! I saw a centipede walk across my room!! Feelin soo geli-fied!!! (like a tingly kinda feelin la) It looks like dis: OKla, dats not an actual photo, but it looks similar...why do I feel so weird? Coz i had a so called' bad-experience' with 'em-when I was like 9 or 10, my dad was drivin along Jln. Delima (back in Penang) with de windows down-no air con in de car...so, a centipede dropped on my legs & I started screaming, 'LIPAN! LIPAN!' (dats Malay 4 centipede) coz I 4got how 2 say it it English...and my parents had no idea wat I was sayin-they tot I'm delirious or sth!!! I was that scared of it coz jus a few days before, I read in a kids encyclopedia dat said its venomous...so i was extra scared la.
Another time, was during a scout meeting-we walk thru de grass, etc., so when i got home, found a centipede finding its way off my legs (I've got really hairy legs) so, I found it only when I had reached home...dis time,I din freak out much, but still geli....hehe
But after all dat, know wat? I've never been bitten, or stung by it!! Praise God!!! Here's why: 19I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions *and centipedes, and all other freaky crawlies* and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.
P.S. Check the bottom of ur shoe: u might have 'trampled' over something by mistake...hehe...

Well, there was a guest performer invited: Juwita Suwito. Heard of her? Well, she's got a really nice voice, and she's de 1 who trains all de ppl in Malaysian Idol, and yea, she's a believer of Christ! Well, she was just sayin how she looks around and sees so many people, many have happy, cheerful faces, yet many others have sad, down kinda faces...I can't agree more with her! But the thing is, or the difference between these 2 groups of people is the MIND-what they are thinking about. People often say that I'm one of those with a cheerful face...wanna know why? Well, its coz I always do my best to 'Look on the BRIGHT side of life' *whistle* *whistle*. My dad has also always encouraged me 2 meditate on this particular verse, and on that particular day, so did Juwita...
Meditate on These Things
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
This title will be our focus in our 'LIFETIME' every Friday night. I'm very grateful that it also is along the lines of being focused...
One Life; i.e. the ONE person I would wanna see come to know Jesus Christ as his/her personal Saviour. At least now we're focusing on only 1 person, not 5 or 10 or more...I think its a really good idea, & I'll definitely spend more time & energy on dis 1 person. OK...some of u guys will be like...'Here comes the Father'...hahaha...but the truth is, I truly believe in God, and can't face 2 c any of my frens have to go thru 'eternal damnation' So yea, frens, if I dont ever mention 'Jesus Christ' to you, I'm sorry, but seriously, He's someone u all gotta know
One World; i.e. What is the one thing that we MUST get done by the time we die? Or like whats our dream in life? Well, of course I have a dream for myself - I would like to start my own car manufacturing plant...hehe...yea, I already like cars, but anyways, this is one dream that came from God Himself; it was even confirmed by a friend & accountability buddy of mine, who had the exact same dream, and the best thing is that he got it at exactly the same time as me!!! How awesome is that! Honestly, I have absolutely no confidence or faith that I'll see this dream come to pass, EVER, coz I see so many obstacles, but with God, ALL things are possible~! -Yaay!!!-
P.S. Have you thought of your own dream in life? For all my Christian friends out there, it doesn't have 2 be 'spiritual' to be God-given...ALL THE BEST~!
Well, de title of dis post kinda 'is' my new year resolution for the whole of 2007...why u may ask?? Basically, its coz I'm no more a freshie in uni, since now I'm in my second semester, not a newcomer to church anymore, and oso gotta get used 2 a lot of things back in my hometown (Penang) *everybody scream* hahaha....coz my youth pastor of 7 yrs is moving on, many ppl leavin coz of studies, and last but not least!!!I'm no more a teenager!!! Ahhh....
Well, basically wat dis all means is dat I gotta be serious from now onwards la, no more play play in anything I do (I'll still do my jokes la, of coz!!-dat part wont go away so easily...) it encompasses studies, my service to God, de way I treat ppl (esp frens & family) so yea...I'll leave dis wit all of u...
Hebrews 12
The Race of Faith
1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
