Christmas in ECF!!!!

Noctural Polyphagia Disoder

One of the midnights, I suddenly had a hunger strike after an excessive long day of trying to feed myself with as much information as I could afford for my exam. & suddenly I just craved for nasi lemak, so I decided to drive all the way down my hill (in case some of you don’t know, I live onto of a hill called INTERNATIONAL HILL-sounds cool eh) to go the famous & expensive nasi lemak stall which is located 10mins away from my house. As I was driving, I smsed chuen to tell her bout this sudden craving (ok, I know I’m not suppose to text-&-drive). This is what she replied:

Chuen:- Haha, funny la you. I realized you like food that promotes CAD(coronary artery disease, which means in simple English-diseases that cause high blood pressure & heart attack) like bacon & nasi lemak….

Yah, if you know my family well, we have a habit of keeping bacons & hams stocked up in our refrigerator. & those are my fav. Supper has been a perpetual act that I’ve adopted since I entered IMU, I think it is because of the intense midnight oil that I burn furiously to keep up with my studies. So for those who think that I am still so freaking thin, yes I am still one, but the transition process is going. Decrease exercise coz my extra time is devoted to my medical books, decrease metabolic rate since I am ageing(ageing not getting old but growing more mature) and constant feeding regardless if I’m hungry. I just like to binge, munch whatever…

But be aware, I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT WHEN I GET TO MELBOURNE, I WILL EXERCISE 3X A WEEK. MARK MY WORDS PPL. CHECK ON ME. IF NOT, er, it is your responsibility to make sure that I keep my words. But before that, I have came up with a “MUST EAT” list before I leave for Melbourne:-

1. nasi lemak near my area
2 .my fav penang asam laksa & sea food which can be found in penang and no anywhere else in 3. case some of you intended to say “KL also got wert”
4. bacons & hams as usual which can be bought from isetan
5. dim sum
6. roti canai & milo kosong ais
7. mee rebus & rojak near my area
8. amapng yong tau foo
9. my fav & selected hawker food stalls
10. my beef noodles at jln silang
11. my air mata kuching at petaling street
12. lemon garden in Shangri-la
13. Japanese buffet in Saisaki
14. Chilli’s & Hard Rock
15. Bak Kut Teh without the spare parts
16. Sarawak laksa (if anyone knows how to cook that)
17. Dutch House restaurant at Changkat Bkt Bintang
18. er, can’t think of any now but will update the list as the ideas come into mind

So you guys, if you wanna bring me out for meal, consider the above list. I’ll really appreciate it, but stuff like milo kosong or roti canai or mamak or hawker food, I think I can pay myself. why not consider funding on the more pricy ones? Your cooperation is much appreciated ;-)

p/s:-polyphagia means excessive eating.

Light of the world

Many come to church for the presence of the God
But a few come to church with the presence of the God

The presence of God doesn’t rest upon the service or worship; rather it rests on the shoulders of men & women of God. Consider this, Jesus is not gonna reveal Himself to every single one of us and tell us to believe in Him, or trust in Him. It is through Christ in us, which reflects the presence of God to the people around us. Our friends is gonna see the Christ living in us! We are the bearers and the witnesses of God's presence & hope for world.

Many Christians, as the move to a new location, their concerns are always to look for a good and suitable church for them. But the most who are seeking define “a church that is suitable for them” by the power of the sermons, or how great is the worship session is. Sometimes it is defined by the magnitude of the church; others define it through the spiritual family of the church. However, all churches are actually the same. The pastors preached from the same book (in case you don’t know, it is the bible) & the people still serve the same God. But it is the spiritual family & the capacity to grow spiritually that make someone remain in one church from another. Some fail to realize such importance, thinking that, being in church weekly is sufficient to safeguard their relationship with God & has fulfilled the true meaning of being in the church.

When the church assembled together, something great will happen for God. The presence of God will be magnified as we are soaked in the spirit of God together. As the church fellowships, we are able to edify, equip and build each other, keeping each other from straying away from the path God intended you to be.

Do you know that....

Studies have shown that:-

95% - of Christians have never led anyone to Jesus
49% - of born again Christians brought a friend to church
30% - of born again Christians feel that they have a personal responsibility to share the gospel
20% - of born again Christians shared their faith to a non-Christian friend

As for those who don’t know Christ,

5% are hostile
20% are somewhat resistant
36% are neutral & open for discussion
28% are searching, will read & listen to what you passed to them
11% are the most receptive


Sometimes, I felt that I fall into the 30% category, knowing the responsibility God has entrusted it unto me, but yet, I struggle to just make the steps… “I can’t talk to this person” “A lot to do for EOS (end of semester) exams” “I’ll talk to him later” … all these are some of the excuses that took hold of me. I totally neglect the true reason of sharing with my friends bout Jesus. It’s not so much about responsibility, it is not so much of merely obeying… because if I just keep those reasons in mind, everything will be burdensome someday, I will soon grow tired and later lose faith in what I do.

But the reason why I wanna do this because of the love I have for the people around me. It is because of the desire to see them coming to know the Jesus, sharing the same faith, faithfully serving the unfailing God & anticipate together great things happening thru Him, & finally, celebrating together at the table of the Lord! This is what I felt is real reason of what we do each day… not purely because we are asked to, or because we are commanded to, but because we willing to. It is our heart that counts at the end of the day. God is not looking at our results, but He is looking at our hearts. Are our hearts right with God??? We love people because God loves us & all the people that He created. Consider it a joy to serve Him & to share HIStory with people around us...

How bout you? Where do you fit in those figures? Let’s bridge the 36+28+11=75% people for Jesus!!! Let this Christmas not be a passing by moment for the love ones around us, rather let this season be a fresh encounter between them & God! Let's press upon Him to see great things happening around our midst this Christmas!!!

Blessed 21st Chris!!!
