Gateway City Youth Conference 2006-Celebrating the Nations

Here're the things that captured me, and felt that God spoken to me throughout this conference held by FCBC. Although this post might be long, and my thoughts might not be structurally written, but these are my encounters throughout this week.

Sunday July 30th, 2006

We were going to EXPO (Singapore Convention Centre) where FCBC will have their weekend service there. The Kl delegates were all dressed up in our traditional costume. As I stepped into the congregation I was really moved by their worship. All the songs revolved around the theme "salvation". After worship, we received a prayer blessing by Ps Lawrence Kong, the senior pastor of FCBC we left for our prayer booth outside the congregation.

Next, we went into the Chinese service and as I was there waiting (since I can't really understand chinese) the worship band were singing this song called "Listen Closely". Although I didnt understand the content of the song, but I felt that God is asking me to listen closely to what He has called me to do.. What He has called us to do.. that is the make disciples!

Then we attended the youth service which again, the entire worship revolved around reaching the lost, preaching the gospel "Tell the world that Jesus live, tell the world that..." I began to weep. I realised that over the entire 6 months, I wasn't as fruitful as I ought to be. Although I attend church, go for discipleship, attend ENLI, sometimes lead cells and do outreaches, I realise I wasn't as deliberate, I did not go "to the end of the earth" for Him. I have put aside His calling. All that I've said to Him that I will do, but I did not do. I felt I've wasted God's time and effort in building me, in equipping me to be a better minister, to be the salt and the light that give the flavour to other's life & shine the path for the lost. I repented and I asked for His forgiveness.

Col1:10And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully 12giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.

As we share our encounters at night, I couldn't stop crying. I couldn't resist the thought that I've missed out so much opportunities throughout this 6 months. There're so much things I can do, to share with His gospel to my friends, yet I didnt do it cause of various excuses like "later I'll do it" "it's not the time yet" "tired" "afraid my friends will reject what I've said".... Felt that God began to remind me of what've done throughout this year.....

Monday 31st July, 2006

Pastor Eugene told us that if God ever ask this question "What do you want?" What is our answer? How are we to respond? He told us that, "Be sure that what you want is something what God wants you to do for Him." I told God I want the IMU, I want the people around me to come to know Him. I rededicate my commitment to Him. As Ps Eugene asked for an altar call to those who is seeking for calling... I did not respond and just remained at my seat, kneeling and asking God to seal my dream. But there came a leader who prayed for me, asking God to lift up my worries upto Him.. This leader prayed a prayer regarding this verse:

Mat11:28"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Then he prayed for my parents, for salvation to happen in my family. I was so moved by his prayer because, there I am, not knowing who he is, but he is praying so accurately. I felt that God was speaking to me through Him. Only the day before, I was sharing my concerns to Chris about IMU. I was so moved because God has spoken so clearly at that moment. Really felt relieved and comforted by God.

At night, as Ps Lawrence asked the China and Japan delegates to kneel before each other, and pray for forgiveness for what Japan had done to Asia, I wept as I felt the Holy Spirit filling the entire congregation. That night, I felt that God is speaking unity among all believers there. All past has gone for everyone is a new creation in Christ! We are no longer bonded by our past. This verse came into my mind:-

Eph4:2Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Tuesday 1st August, 2006

During worship, as we sang "This is my desire, to honour you...Lord with all my heart, I worship you..." "Lord I give You my heart, I give You my soul, I live for You alone... Lord have Your Way in me".... Although I am so familiar with this song by now, but the word "DESIRE" spoke to me. Felt that God was asking me, how much is my desire to honour Him? How much that I gave my heart to Him? Although I believe I submit my life to Him, trusting Him in everything I do, but here He is asking me, "WEN HAO, HOW MUCH IS YOUR DESIRE FOR ME? IF YOU REALLY DESIRE ME, WHY DIDNT YOU DO THE THINGS I DESIRE YOU TO DO FOR ME?" I felt guilty, I felt I had cheated Him for the past few months. I wept again throughout the worship.

Later, as China was sharing about their city condition, the youth trend and the needs of prayer in area of poverty, all promiscuities, the loss of fathering spirit and their hunger for God to make a change in all these areas I was so touched. In my mind I was thinking, we malaysians are so blessed with God's riches and comforts and we're under tested that we lost our dependancy on Him and many think we dont need a God, whereas the nations of China faces various obstacles that they desperately need God, crying and longing for Him.... Wanting and needing Him to make change in their nation. I felt we need a "wake-up call".....

Wednesday 2nd August, 2006

The last day, I felt that "The time has come" for all of us, for myself to start to go for IMU deliberately. Although we sing this song throughout the conference, but on this day, I felt that God was trying to convey it clearly to me. Whatever I do, I should to it in faith, for God blessed those who is full of faith.

Luke5:17One day as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law, who had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem, were sitting there. And the power of the Lord was present for him to heal the sick. 18Some men came carrying a paralytic on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. 19When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus. 20When Jesus saw their faith, he said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven."

"The time has come to stand for ALL we believe it" More deliberate efforts has to be make. I should be bold and be strong and courageous on what I believe in, on my ministry and believing that God will fill in the rest. As I came back to KL, whatever things that I might face and will face, I will not be worry for God has entrusted IMU into my hands. I just gotta claim it!!! In Christ's Name all things are possible!!!

Nerd Failure!

For those who always have that small thought or perception that is stucked at the corner of your mind about how nerd CHIONG WEN HAO is, here's a scientific result (which is claimed to be highly reliable & effective as it is proven by statisticians who had done this questionnaire randomly on ppl around the world) :

My nerd score :- 23/100 (which falls into nerd wannabe) (but I have no idea who in the world who which to be a nerd wannabe of all the things to be, me included so I strongly suggest this comment is invalid although the test is substantially conclusive of your nerd level)

For some unkwown reasons, I dunno why I couldn't copy & paste the entire layout/site or whatever you call it into my blog. So for those of wish to check their nerd level, pls refer to this site :- http://www.nerdtests.com/ft_nq.php?im

All comments made were based on personal opinions. For those who wish to comment on anything about this post, pls refer to this green description posted. Thanks for listening!

Weights Freak!

As I was exercising in the gym today, saw this guy (guess he's a body builder) doing a bench press (not sure if thats what you call it) with approximately 50kg on each side. In my mind, I was like, what the heck??? Thats is almost 2 times heavier than I do. Can imagine 2 of me hanging at each end of the steel bar & that fella carrying it. Felt so tempted on telling him that he might be facing so many complication. Not to mention he is in his 50++.

I began to wonder. People will just do anything to get in shape. The amount of weights they would lift, the types of diet they will conform to prevent any additional fats from hiding at every corner or your torso, those special drinks or nutritions that they spent $$$ buying, the list goes on. As for girls, or ladies, some even go to the point of not eating, so to speak dieting just to look like their friends, or always complaining non-stop that they are fat but actually, there isnt any excess fats remain in their bodies. People are just weird. Some are so devoted to looking good that they are so disciplined to go to fitness centre everyday before or after work.

Back to my point. I could think of so many reasons why people shouldn't carry excessive weights during workout:

1. You might just get spinal cord injury. There was one time where I saw this young, mat salleh guy & I think he's around 20+ (he looks big but my guess is, the size of his brain is as small as a rat). He was trying to lift the amount of weights as i mentioned above & as he was trying to lift the weights but it was to heavy for him to handle. But being that bozo man who's ego is as big as his size, insisting on lifting it... As I was on the treadmill I saw his back curve as he forcefully lift the weight. This kind gym assistant went & help him but that bozo guy went & scolded the assistant for interfering him. I was thinking, if only he injured himself or the weights fall on him, hrmmm... ok.. not being cruel but well...

2. You might just get hernia. Trust me, being a medical student, having a hernia (this bulge bulging out near your scrotum area or near your groin area due to the weakening of the abdominal wall) isn't the best looking thing that one ever desires. It is ugly, big & paintful. & carrying excessive weights can lead to hernia. I was so tempted to ask that old man if he knows what's hernia or has he got it before. But well, he might just scold me back for being busy body like that mat salleh guy i mentioned above.

3. Sometimes you might just get muscle tear. Don't know if it is very probable but anything is possible right.

4. As for growing age group, carrying excessive weights upright might just hinder your upward growth (not sure if it's proven scientifically, but this is my guess & my own deduction)

5. Someone I have this thought that carrying too heavy weights might just injury yourself. Your vein, nerve whatever. & Straining isn't good cause it will have lots of after effects.

Can't think of further reasons now cause I am waiting for my dinner. But the reasons mentioned above are enough to make you think twice I hope. I suggest everyone should follow my advise: do moderate weights & exercise & tone your muscles. If you wanna build, take it easy & slowly. Don't push it too hard.

We're not call to follow signs & wonders but instead the signs & wonders follow us when the gospel is preached. We don't keep our eyes on signs & wonders; we keep our eyes on Jesus.

Glorious Germany!

Honours To Germany!

Ok, I bet 243 friends of mine are celebrating Germany's downfall against Italy in the semi-final match. Not because they suck or what, but because they have just something against me supporting Germany. So, as you can imagine, when Italy scored the goals, my sweet friends start pooring in SMSes regarding on this matter.

Back to the match... I must say, Italy did play really well. It was a sweet goal & well, they deserve to win. But readers, don't get me wrong. My loyalty stays with Germany despite their lost. No changing teams unlike my best friend, who changed her side twice, first from Brazil, & then to England (which by the way, both lost in the quarters). Bet she will stand for Italy since they managed to beat Germany.

Well what can I say, every end is a new beginning. & I believe this exit for Germany will push the team to a greater level in FIFA 2010. They will be back, better equipped more skillful in year 2010. Although I will receive various forms of torment & belittlement once I meet my friends this Friday, I will not SUBMIT to the critics as I believe, GERMANY PLAYED AWESOME IN MOST OF THEIR GAMES!!!!

Here I would like to add, to those who have the slightest thought of saying anything to me on Germany's lost to Italy, hear my advise first. Reflect on how lousy your team is (except those supporting Italy from beginning) before starting commenting on Germany. For, in my heart, they are the BEST!

I just wanna honour these players for an amazing game: klose for scoring 5 amazing goals for Germany, neuville who although scored one goal against polland deserve much credits than podoski (just dislike him), ballack although did not score any goals yet lead the team til this far, friedrich & lahm who defended well in every match, schneider who although look clumsy but did an amazing job as a midfielder & of course lehmann (who although took over kahn's position as the main keeper & I was kinda unhappy about that at first) saved so many shots from the opponents.

GREAT JOB GERMANY!

Dartboard or Pipeline?

One day during my devotional time, this thought came to my mind: “Don’t let life happen to you. Let life happen through you.”

The first phrase described me to a T, for I tended to see life as something coming at me. I felt like a worn-out dartboard. I was using all my energies to shield myself from the darts of life’s trials.

But the second phrase, “Let life happen through you,” presented a different approach. Instead of dodging life’s fiery darts, I was to let God’s life and love be channeled through me, blessing me on its way to blessing others.-Joanie Yoder

Col1:24Now I rejoice in what was suffered for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ's afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church. 25I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness— 26the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints. 27To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
28We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. 29To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me.

In his letter to the Colossians, Paul mentioned the many troubles he was facing. Yet he was determined to be a channel of blessing by allowing God to work through him. What about you? Are you a dartboard or a pipeline?

Right relationship with God!

KNOW Him

LOVE Him

SERVE Him

TRUST Him

FEAR Him

Some people will ask us, "who is Jesus?" & Most Christians will answer "He's the Son of God, our Saviour!"... As much as we can say we know Him, & how much we love Him when we sing songs of praises & worship, how many people out this category will actually serve & trust Him whole-heartedly? I myself won't say I am 100%.

Most people just play a role as a church-goer. But God's command doesn't end there. One has to be a DOER too. Speaking from medical students point of view, many will say that the amount of time spent to do God's work can be put into studies. Even an hour can be so previous when comes to exam's season. Some will say, "Don't wanna join the ministry, cause need to go back to church to practice... Need to study la! Darn stress!" But do we realise that we actually nullify God's greatness & His power to do the IMPOSSIBLE. As much as we worship God so passionately during service, singing songs about trusting God (can't think of any songs at the moment) , but do we actually "walk the talk"?

Jesus in His last words didn't say "Don't worry. Just come to church every weekend. & Make sure you study hard during weekdays ok?" nor did He ever say "Don't worry about the ministry. There are other people that are going to do that. You just study k"... Instead He said it CRYSTAL CLEAR in matt28 "Go & make disciples of all nations" .. But do we?

Look up on the dictionary. It says trust = Firm reliance on the integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing. But is our reliance firm? The Bible speaks loudly about God's character, being the provider, who gives us strength & bless us with all our needs. Not that we can't understand the Bible, we just don't practice what we read. As much as doctors need practical in order to be a good, christians need to exercise their faith too in order to please Him!

1John2:3We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. 4The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: 6Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.

Unnecessary Business most are doing!

This is a post about typical malaysian drivers that can't mind their own business when they are on the road.

Last Monday, after CSU I decided to go home since its around 4+pm & the sky is kinda dark. Don't wanna get stuck in the jam, especially when it rains later. As I was approaching cheras area, guess what I saw from far? This properly lined vehicles, with all their back red lights on, queuing through the highway. MASSIVE JAM. I was like, darn it! Must be an accident. Here, thought I was smart enough to go back early in order to break the traffic. Some people just have to drive recklessly & got into an accident. (I wanted to rush home so that I can study for my exam on Wednesday)

As I began to approach part of the road when the jam began to subside, to my great suprise, I found that the accident was at the opposite of the road. I WAS LIKE, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE MALAYSIANS? Here, at my side of the road, motorcyclist stopped by the road side to see. Some cars parked at the side of the road, I ASSUME they went across to help. & the remaining cars passing that area, DECIDED TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THE ACCIDENT & STARTED SLOWING DOWN & TURN THEIR KAY-POH-CHEE (busybody in cantonese) HEAD TO TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED!

In my mind, I was thinking, these people, being the TYPICAL malaysians not even helping in the accident, but participating in witnessing it so that when they go back home, they can tell the incident to their love ones, or worst, after passing the accident area, they went on their journey with an empty mind. Don't they realise that they are holding all the cars back, causing massive unnecessary traffic jam! Causing unnecessary petrol combustion which further contributes to environmental hazards! Most important of all, they are wasting every other people's time, ESPECIALLY MINE!

Here's some tips what you should do if you see an accident & you don't feel like helping out (Helping out means get out of the car & help the victims not sit by the roadside & watch)

1.Tell yourself it is none of my business!

2. Don't have the slightest idea of pressing your break to slow down & look at the side. Look in front instead. Chances are, you will bang the car in front of you if you are so involved with what happened at the other side of the road. Then you will cause another massive unwanted traffic jam, & causes you $$$ to fix your vehicle.

3. Press your horn to tell the people who is slowing down in front of you to keep moving.

4. If you have the urge to "check-out" what happen, refer to point 1 & 2 again. Tell yourself that if the accident is major enough, you will catch it in the news at night or "the star" tmrw morning. If it is not reported, chances are the accident is minor & it is not worth your time knowing. Hence, in future, remember this important point.

I think in terms of accident watching, its gonna be MALAYSIA BOLEH!

A NEW LIFE!

A NEW LIFE!

NOV 2005- During church camp


There was a water baptism session during the camp. I really wanna be baptised, but at the same time I wanted my parents consent before committing into it, cause I really wanna honour them.

Me:- (calling my parents) Hello, can I be baptised today?
Dad:- No, don't do that now. Just go and have fun. Do it some time later.
Me:- But why? ...... (Me explaining & reasoning to my dad)

At the end of the conversation, I still didn't manage to get him to approach.


End of May 2006 - While having breakfast with my parents


Been praying about this since church camp. So recently, when i found out that we're gonna have another water baptism session on this date, I took up the courage to ask my parents again. Before asking, I was asking God to help me make them understand, let them realise how important it is to me.

Me:- I've something I wanna ask you all.
Parents:- What is it?
Me:- My church is gonna have another session for those who wish to be baptised. Can I too?
Parents:- I knew it!!! Knew what you wanna ask when you start asking like that way (I was like erm.... in a "where got?" facial expression). No, don't do it now. Wait til you graduate.
Me:- Why? It's important that I do it now. I know I am ready. Really wanna be baptised here, in this spiritual family. Here is where I came to know Christ & here is where I grow. Plus, I am really connected with this spiritual family. It is my last chance this time. I'm gonna leave next year. I really don't wanna miss this opportunity.
Parents:- Didn't we said you can only do it once you graduate. Maybe you will have a different exposure when you go oversea. Maybe over there, they do it differently. It is good to wait.
Me:- It's not gonna change anything if I wait til I graduate. I've already accepted Christ. There's no way I will turn back. Plus, water baptism is done the same way everywhere. The significance is the same.
Parents:- If that's the case, go do it & don't let me know if you wanna do it so much. Since you converted without discussing with us anyway.
Me:- I really want to, but don't you understand, I want your consent. I want you to understand why it is important for me. If I wanna do as you have just said, I could have done it during church camp. But I didn't. I really wanna honour you. That's what the Bible says.

Conversation just ends there. With the same answer. Was kinda disappointed at first. I began asking God, why? Is it not time yet for me? Prayers still continue. It's too early for any changes yet. Believe He is gonna make a twist when the date starts to draw closer. After breakfast, I drove to uni.


This week while having breakfast with my dad
(As you begin to notice, most of the conversation takes place during a meal, over breakfast time especially. This is because it is the start of the day, where all the mood & energy level are still at the optimum level. & that is the time where I get to talk cause there are no distractions for my parents. So, I could get full attention from them)


Dad:- (While I was busy eating my beef noodles, yummy!!!) So, when's your water baptism thing?
Me:- This sunday. Why?
Dad:- If you think you are ready, go ahead.
Me:- (Me, in my usual shocking look( if I have any) ) Er, are you sure? What made you change your mind? I don't want you to say it because you saw me feeling upset and so on. I want you to get it.
Dad:- If you said you are ready, go get baptised. You're gonna do it sooner or later anyway.
Me:- Thanks alot. It means a lot to me.

I was so happy at that news. Really thank God for such a great miracle. If you know my dad well, he is a person with a very strong opinion on himself, especially in terms of Christianity, worse when I began to accept Christ. It definitely take a DEVINE CHANGE for him to make such a decision. After breakfast, I took off to uni, singing songs of praises! God did answer my persistent prayer! Quickly messaged Shawn.

Today, IT IS DONE. Chris came along with me saying he wanna witness one of my life's millstones. 18 of us got baptised. Was a great moment for me. PRAISE YOU LORD!

X-MAN!!!

Situation 1

Saw a colleague C coming from opposite direction while on my way to library. Decided not to be such a snob. So, I waved & said "HI" when C looked at me. In response to that, C looked at me for a while & turned away without a reply. I was so suprised of that encounter that I stood in front of the library for a while, thinking what had just happened. I thought to myself maybe C didnt hear me, or didnt notice me. In the end, didnt bother & just went in to library to study.

Situation 2

Wai Meng & I just finished lunch. Decided to head back to the library ( ok, you guys must be thinking I am this super duper nerd guy, which i am not.. the reason why i keep going to library is bcoz exam is around the corner) and as we were walking, I saw C again coming from the opposite direction. Being born with a nice heart, I decided to wave & say "HI" again, this time, clearer & louder just to see if C will respond. He did actually, by looking at me, & turn away again without any reactions what-so-ever.

I don't think that people will to hate me to the point of ignoring me in such an obvious way. Not many ppl will be so brave to do so. Moreover I hold such a low profile in uni, I don't think I create enough friction for ppl to hate me. Either that, or this C person must be super blur or lagging in response. I think I've learned my lesson & will know how to proceed in future when I see C again.

C, YOU'VE BEEN "X"!!!!!!!!

From East Malaysian Synd to Sabahan Congenital Distorted Mind Synd!!!

OK. This blog is typed to address the misfortunate, shallow mindset of the east malaysians towards the west malaysians. Apparently they are still stuck in "their laid-back generation".

Firstly, about the "chi ku pa" thingie. I think the sabahan especially have the wrong interpretation of that term. IT IS AND I MAKE IT CLEAR ONCE AGAIN "CHI KU PA"... not because of the lousy HK ppl using that term, but rather, it is the common term. set aside the way of opening your fingers. You guys renamed it out of convenience. Even the sarawakians use "chi ku pa".. The entire malaysian uses that except for the sabahan. Well, can you see the difference? Are they really right about their term of "ku chi pa"? or are they congenitally confused or "serong"? I guess for Steph & Jeremy who are proud to be sabahan, should look into this point before voicing their so called "true opinion".. plus, this game was invented by chinese. chinese being superstitious, will nvr start a game by calling "ku" simply means your ku-ku bird(those who doesnt know this term, go ask your male chinese friends)

Another thing that i wanna bring up is KLCC.... well, it is true that we hired foreign engineers for such construction. but think again, we have the capability & ability to do that. but do Sabahan generally have? whats the point of having the 100% genuine highest mountain in SEA which contribute less to our country, comparatively to KLCC, WORLD (mind you) TALLEST TWIN TOWER BUILDING.... can you see the difference? its WORLD... NOT SEA...... plus, the contribution that KLCC has towards malaysia.. it really put malaysia in the eyes of the world, declaring that we malaysians too can support such developments like countries such as United States, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, etc.... if it is not because of such sky-scrapers like KLCC, the lousy whites will be still wondering where malaysian is located, or are we so "3rd world" that we still use black & white tv.... besides being the HQ for Petronas, KLCC is also a home to the best shopping complex in malaysia. the convention centre is the center-point of so many meetings and organisations in the world. can you tell me which corner of sabah has such great capacity to host such a big economic development to the country, and to the world? So what if you guys have mt kinabalu.. i dont deny it does contribute to the tourism in this country, but comparatively speaking.... which is of higher value to this country? furthermore steph, your lousy mountain has BEEN CONQUERED! i stood above the mountain. but did anyone ever stood above KLCC? if yes, correct me...

As for the shopping malls, i dont wanna talk about it.. any primary school kid will know where you guys get your retails from.. KL... the reason why there's a market for so many branded retails in sabah is because of kl.. it is thru here that everything starts expanding..

& if the sabahan speak so highly of themselves, why come over to west malaysia to study... for job opportunity.. one of my sabahan friends argued.. there's no private medical school in sabah.. thats so true... firstly, the investor dont even wanna waste time setting up such school at such an obscure place... 2ndly, if you are so pro-sabah, why come to kl... find every ways to get into your UNIMAS..(btw it is kinda nice place to study medicine compared to IMU)... why rely on kl's education & job opportunities?

development in sabah is still way back... only recently that you guys gain the title of a "city".. this shows that the lack of faith in the government for so long... holding back and thinking that you guys couldnt take the workload once the BIG CITY WORD is placed on top of kota kinabalu... you guys still live with your less than 3 sec tunnel, pathetic highways which are smaller than the mainroads in kl, reclaimed lands, no coffee bean outlets.... you guys still travel by hugging the logs at kinabatangan while we start to modernise area around Klang river...

as for the island, i cant comment on both coz i nvr been to all islands in west malaysia & sipadan in sabah... so no point in discussing this matter.... plus, whats the point of going thru so many troubles to dive & enjoy the marine life, where we can just experience the same thing in aquaria KLCC without being wet... why so dumb... why sabah still stuck in their "old-age mentality"... common, if you wanna keep up with our prime minister vision of vision 2020, you guys have to start to change.. make a stand & put to death all the old distorted thinking.. the generation in sabah think like you guys bcoz there's no change since beginning.. it causes a congenital mindset in every individual in sabah...

Here i rest my case..

(this blog was posted not to go against the sabahan but rather, to make clear to some of my sabahan friends some of my point of view. those sabahans who think that the facts stated are wrong, do share.. I am open to discussion.. but this post is targeted to one of my close friend steph wong)

Memories!!!!

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY CHUEN!!!!

A simple bubble tea,
that was all it need.
To start a great friendship,
that last til this date.

We often ask,
at moments such as this,
what are the best words to say,
on such a memorable day.

I know I made it obvious,
& it was clear for most to see,
that those days just ain't the easiest,
moments for me.

But you've helped me thru' the fall,
& I always know you care,
but most important of all,
you've always been there.

I know it was not easy,
listening to me cry,
but i don't think you know what it means to me,
to have you by my side.

You've guided me thru' the tunnel,
til I see the light,
& it's nice to know there's someone,
who would share the burden of my fight.

Why I'm blessed with a friend like you,
this i never know.
But I thank God everyday,
for letting a friend like you, to come my way.

As time past, separate we may go.
The seasons change & it will show.
I will age & so will you,
but our friendship remains, strong & true.

This poem marks my friendship to you,
on such a day specially for you,
here's a promise I make to you,
that I'll always be there for you.


Thanks chuen & God bless you.

Dead poor!

Here lies a truly poor being

born poor, raised poor,

remained poor & died poor.

Poorly he lived & poorly he died;

maintaining status quo was his only pride.

Came across this poem was i was flipping through the Malaysia Medical Assoc magazine as I was waiting for the next patient during my GP posting with Dr. Anthony. Thank God, I am no where near what the poet describe.

Let's X-cavate!!!

Who am I

Tell me why

I am here for

coz sometimes I'm lost

Who will give

Me a lift

When I'm feeling weak

It's your strength I need

Before the world began

You were on His mind

To love Him & be loved by Him

Oh, what a sweet relief

Why am I--still worrying today?

Why should I-- let sorrow stay

Come let's be strong & courageous

Because, He has given

JOY PEACE LOVE and

STRENGTH to last for the day

His mercy new everyday

Sufficient, Your grace is amazing

Oh thank You Father

For the mighty cross

So that I am Yours

Mighty child of God

That is the theme song for this year's CF camp. The camp was all about rediscovering ourselves, hence X-CAVATE!!! It was held in MBS Rawang for past 3 days. Around 60+ IMU-ers attended the camp. Throughout this camp, friendship had been made. Team spirit had been built. But best of all, God's voice was made clear!!!

The speaker shared this verse:-

1Pet2:9But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

It says we are God's chosen people. Each of us today, having a relationship with God because He chose to start a relationship with us first. We didn't make the call. He did. He is so merciful & kind to us. He chose each of us just as we are. A sinner who didn't know what sin is & who lived in a lifestyle so compromising to the pattern of the world. But now, we are no longer bounded by sin. He paid the final price at calvary. Now we are His people, with immediate excess to Him. We can talk to Him anytime, anywhere. Our identity is found in our creator!

Nevertheless, we also become a mediator between God & the non-believers, introducing them to God. Our purpose now is to glorify Him & our mission on earth is to do what God wants us to do; which is to make disciples. That is God's calling in our life. We are the salt & light for this world. We are the one who shine the path & lead people to God. As christians, we all know this. We hear it from our leaders, sermons & friends. But the Bible says :-James1:22Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

It made me wonder, am I doing what God calls me to do. Am I doing on my own strength or relying upon Him to open the way? Did I make full use of the opportunity He has given me?During devotion, someone shared: "I just wonder if God is pleased with me?" This question really stucked in my head til now. During worship, God's love & sacrifice began to hit me. His grace & blessings ran in my mind once again. I asked Him, "Why do you love us so much?" "What did we do to deserve such an amazing grace?" Slowly, I began to weep. It just remind me that His grace is sufficient for me. Nothing else matter. If I didn't get what I want, maybe God thinks that it is not suitable for me, or it is not time for me to have it, or maybe He is putting me through another challenge to refine my faith. Whatever the outcome is, I believe it is best for me.

But now, I should start X-cavating myself. Am I carrying out His mission?

In Christ Alone!

In Christ alone my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song

This Cornerstone, this solid ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My Comforter, my All in All

Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh

Fullness of God in helpless babe

This gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones He came to save

‘Til on that cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain

Then bursting forth in glorious Day

Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory

Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me

For I am His and He is mine

Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt of life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From life’s first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

‘til He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand

We can celebrate every day of our lives because of what Christ did for us on the cross 2000 years ago.

John11: 25Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; 26and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
