God can be so amazing. You can feel so down at one moment, but He can make you see things differently the next. It's hard to explain, don't think I can explain it too, but still, it amazes me.



A lot of things that God does amazes me. Some might think that I sounded fake or that I'm not real when i'm saying it, but know this, I am truly amazed by Him. One God who is so powerful, so strong, so omnipotent can be so gentle, so patient and so full of love. He Himself is such a contrast that I cannot, nor do I think any human, could comprehend.



A friend said something that amazes me the other day. She said that I am so young yet I know so much about myself. I was truly stunned, for I don't think I know myself that well. Know what, this knowledge does not come from me, but from God. He has made known to me lots of things. He lets me see a lot of things and taught me what's right and wrong. Sometimes I stumble, I forgot, I chose to be stubborn, but yet, He knows me well, so well that He makes me see a lot of things and experience a whole heaps of things. Things are changing now, lots of it. It's hard to explain, but things are changing. I hope I can keep up with. I truly wish to know what's His purpose is for me in this life.



Third Day - Love Song

This song hits me, He did so much for me.. so much that there's nothing I can say or do that would make me want to give Him up...
Sometimes I feel so tired with life. Don't ask me why, but I just do. Maybe I finished studying early, I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm not doing what I would love to do. But what do I love to do? I love to sing. I wish I can just sing and not do anything else. But that's a bit far fetch ya. Sigh, life is weird. I am still searching for the purpose of my life. I know in my head that there's a purpose for me in this life and I am to seek it. But I do have a hard and stubborn heart. Sometimes I wish God would just tell me the purpose of my life. But then again, He might be doing that and I am just not listening.



Super tired today. I know I need to make a lot of decisions, but I am not ready to move on. It's so hard to move on when you don't know where you're heading. I know I need to make the decisions myself and I can't rely on other people. Super hard to find support these days and it's harder to even share things with people. Some just don't understand... nothing to say liao

I am really tired, sleepy and blur at the moment. Nevertheless I will update my board as I am online anyways. Well, I woke up very early today, at the least very early for me. I woke up at 9 plus and left the house at 10 plus. Reason for this is I need to get down to Masjid India to get a Punjabi Suit. The trip's really nice, saw heaps and heaps of cool and beautiful punjabit suits.. but they can really cost a fortune!!! ARghh.. wish I have the money to buy one that's really nice. Oh well, I've settled on a purple one, simple and nice enough for me. But it took me hours and hours. There's like clothes there that's really worth the price. Don't mind going there again to get good bargains (there's lots of it also, can get discounts!!)



Was doing devotion and found it quite refreshing. Was asked to write down 20 things that I should give thanks to. Will change our perspective in life. Give it a try, no matter you're feeling down, sad or bored, write down 20 things in life that has been good in your life and still is.



Mine's listed below:

I am thankful for God:

1. For being alive

2. For having a loving family

3. For loving me eventhough I turned away from Him at times

4. For all the friends in my life

5. For friends who are far away but yet remembers me

6. For the close friends who surrounds me spiritually and mentally

7. For the job that I have now.

8. For the ability to listen, to hear

9. For the ability to talk, to sing

10. For the ability to walk and do things with my hands

11. For the love that has been poured out to me by the people around me

12. For the support that I get from my dearest friends

13. For the abiliy to cry and to laugh

14. For being able to see

15. For being able to feel, to sense

16. For having shelter over my head

17. For having a bed to sleep in at the end of the night

18. For having the sense of security

19. For being able to do the things that I like and love to

20. For this wonderful place where I can spill my thoughts out



Sometimes it's hard for us to be thankful for the things that we have right now. We have the feeling of wanting more, and thus we seek more and be easily frustrated when we don't get them. If we were to focus not on our frustrations but be thankful for the things that we have in our life, than things would be different in us wouldn't it.

Alicia, not that I don't want to write everyday, but at times there's nothing to write for there's nothing interesting in my life except work lor. Besides I don't online everyday, for there'll be extra bills for me to pay. I try to come online as much as I can lor...I'l try my best alrites?



Really sorry for those who comes to the blog regularly but still read the same new old thingy.



What is there to write at the moment? Can't think of anything. Am listening to Avalon's album, the very best of Avalon. It's a really cool album and I love it heaps.



A friend's birthday is coming up and I am like being the intermediary between her and her bf. It's funny I tell you, I have no idea how I became one, but since she is such a dear friend to me, I'll try to make this birthday of hers as pleasant as I can be.



A friend told me all her nice undies got bitten by her dogs and she's really pissed off at the moment. The situation is funny, but knowing that undies ain't cheap here and also the fact that those undies are darn cool (we went shopping together), I sympathise.. duno what to do, but just gona lend her an ear...



To all my friends in Gippy, I know ya all are like going off on holidays or still in the midst of exams... Those in exams... God bless u.. take care and rest well... those going on trips.. I'll pray for God's journey mercy upon ya all, so that you'll be protected while you're on the road. Do enjoy yourselvess... know that you have friends back home who misses ya all and love ya all...

Don't think I am fully as per what's written, but it's cool



Air
Your element is Air: Carefree, lovable, fun and
childish. Arent you cute! Your just full of
childhood spunk and happiness! Hey who said
being young was a bad thing? You have a keen
understanding of whats good in life and choose
to remain happy rather than get too upset over
things. Life is fun, who wants to be troubled
by grown-up problems? Being as capable of love
as you are you will make a wonderful parent if
and when you choose to grow up. Love is a
mystery because you only want friends not love
interests, games are better than relationships
with the opposite sex. You have what everyone
is searching for, that so called 'fountain of
youth' deep inside. You can come across as
naive and childish at times. But who cares what
they think, lets go play tag!

Realisation



Come to realise a lot of things today. Hard to put some into words, but it hit me lor. I went to this Youth Moral Purity class in church today. I was really dreading it, coz I was pretty tired and slept late (my fault). I woke up late too, but it was still before the thing. I was kinda bored when I was at the class, but a lot of the things that the Pastor talk about make me realise some things in life. We're not perfect and we can never be perfect on our own. But Jesus is perfect and in His perfection He gave us life so that we can share His perfection. And I wish that the video part of the class be shown to every student in high school. It's so educational. Everything hits to the point. It's really good and it's really a wake up call to people. We might think that HIV is the most feared thing in the world, but I can tell you, there's far worse thing that spreads..STDs can kill. Not only that, it will kill your unborn child. Women will be sterile and can never have children, and these are facts and these are the truth. For those who think that condom can protect you from that. WAKE UP!! It does not.... condom is made out of plastic and it is totally imperfect! There's heaps and heaps of holes in it. Sperms might not get through, but bacteria does!!! And it will be with you at all times!! You'll carry these bacterias, aka STD!!! with you for the rest of your lives. You'll also spread it to your partner or partners every time you have sex with them! These are statistics and these are facts! HELLO EVERYONE! TIME TO WAKE UP!!



You think everyone is having sex... think again! Wake Up!! Don't be pressured into it. That's not the fact. I know heaps of people who aren't doing it. And please, sleeping with that person won't keep him/her with you... knock knock!! be real. If he truly loves you, do you think he'll even ask you for it? He'll respect you for who you are and your stand. Come on man, do you need it so desperately?



Sex is beautiful and it's wonderful! No one can deny that. God created that! But hey, HELLO!! He created it in the boundaries of marriage. He created sex so that we can be productive, to produce children! Don't be stupid okay? Your virginity is the best gift you can give to your husband/wife to be! Think about it, do you want to compare your husband/wife to those you've have had sex before? Well, you'll do it. And you will dread it! Can you imagine having intimacy with your husband but yet thinking of someone else? and husbands, you thinking of someone else when you are with your wife?



Really do hope ya all who read this realise this for a fact. I pray that God will let people see and that people will come to know.

God, I wish I can praise and worship You as I've had when I was in Gippy. I needed it. Oh God...I wish to sing, to sing and sing for You. But Lord...
Can't Live a Day

from "In a Different Light"



I could live life alone

And never fill the longings of my heart

The healing warmth of someone's arms

And I could live without dreams

And never know the thrill of what could be

With every star so far and out of reach

I could live without many things

And I could carry on, but



I couldn't face my life tomorrow

Without Your hope in my heart I know

I can't live a day without You

Lord, there's no night and there's no morning

Without Your loving arms to hold me

You're the heartbeat of all I do

I can't live a day without You



I could travel the world

See all the wonders beautiful and new

They'd only make me think of You

And I could have all life offers

Riches that were far beyond compare

To grant my every wish without a care

Oh, I could do anything, oh yes

But if You weren't in it all



Jesus, I live because You live

You're like the air I breathe

Oh Jesus, oh, I have because You give

You're everything to me

Fit Only For The Fire



If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. John 15:6



Fit only for the Fire

Early each spring the trees in the orchard are checked. Dead branches are sawn off, piled up, and then ignited. What a sad sight those brush piles burning at the edge of the orchards are.



Can't you almost see the heavenly gardener at work? Carefully he checks each branch. One appears to be dying, but he doesn't saw it off at once. Patiently he waits and tries repairing it. But finally the last trace of life is gone, and he saws off the dead branch. To the fire it goes.



Note carefully, though, how Jesus describes those dead branches. He doesn't say, "If anyone has no fruit," but "if anyone does not remain in me." The lack of connection with the Savior makes one a dead branch in the eyes of the heavenly gardener. The dead branches are those in whose hearts is no faith in Christ. His life-giving sap doesn't run through them, and as a result there can be no fruit in their lives. The fault lies not with the Vine, but with the branch and its connections to the Vine. I may not always be able to spot the dead branch, but the gardener knows. He who sees the heart makes no mistakes. He knows which branches are dead and saws accordingly.



How sad that brushfire in hell will be. On the other hand, how thankful I should be that God has grafted me in faith to Jesus and made me a living branch in the Vine.



Please, Lord, for your love's sake, always keep me there. Amen.



This passage from the bible has been presented to me quite often. Does it mean something to me. Yes, I think it does. I'm still trying to come to terms to it. Sigh, this is gona be hard man. Need to examine my heart and pass all the distraction in my heart to Him. Else, I would never be able to stand up again, but be miserable throughout my whole life. That is really something that I don't want. Father, I pray that You will heal this branch here, heal my heart and give me life once again. This I pray and beg of You, AmEn...
It seems like the blogging topic is the in thing now in Malaysia. Within the vast two weeks' time, I've read articles regarding blogs, blogging and blogsters.. that's us man. Today's topic focus mainly on Malaysian, stating that it's a platform for us to voice out and etc. But I think in reality this has exist for a long long time. In the past, when there's no internet, I believe some ppl have been "blogging".. in the sense that they journal down their feelings and etc. Yet, the difference now is people can read our blogs, can read our feelings, the stuff happening to us and all. It's interesting how the article put it together. I wonder if they know that there are a bunch of us blogging now, students and ex-students of Gippsland. Would be interesting if they do find out :D



Today I am off, no work, as it's a bank holiday is UK. At first I thought, maybe I can now have a chance to rest at home. But later on I found out that my mom is not working because I was not. I felt bad, coz though we went out, I don't really feel like going out. I haven't been home much and I know that she misses me a lot. Things are kinda hard now, being back here in Malaysia, yet not being home. Sigh, things are really complicated in my life in some ways, hard to explain it all in one short. But I guess those who know me before I went to Australia knew of my lifestyle and the houses where I stayed on and all.



Went to One Utama and bought some of the things that I really want. However, I am yet to be able to find the album Cover the Earth by Lakewood Live. Sigh.. I am really looking forward to getting the CD to find out if it's really as good as Chris has said it. Nevertheless, I bought the album by Altered Frequency, a local band. Their music are good man! Well, at least to me. There are a couple of songs that hit you straight at your heart. Can't to listen to those specific songs. Not a waste of time indeed. But I did spend a lot today.. gosh.. better stop meself before I go crazy... ekke
