Why God Takes Young People

When God calls young adult to dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question
the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with,
the death of our dear child.
Who does so much to make our world,
seem so wonderful and mild.

Perhaps God tires of calling
the aged to His fold.
So He picks a rosebud
before it can grow old.

God knows how much we need them,
and so He takes but few.
To make the land of heaven
more beautiful to view.

Believing this is difficult
still somehow we must try.
The saddest word mankind knows
will always be Good-bye.

So when our young one departs,
we who are left behind,
Must realize God loves children.
ANGELS ARE HARD TO FIND!

Boy, i m so proud of myself for writing the longest sentence in my blog...
dann prost Amir!!!

am i being sarcastic? no... definitely not...

The best birthday ever and the last....

Yesterday was kind of surprising actually... i had the longest surprisES ever with so many ppl singing birthday songs to me and i had to act as if i don't know they are going to do so... here goes the story...

Yesterday was my 19th birthday (i m soooo old d...) and i had the privilege to serve God on my birthday itself...I was helping out with a church camp organized by the churches of Sarikei as a Game master or watever it is called... 12 of us were divided into groups of different moral values such as love, self-control and others... I am in charge of a station and mine was called 'fu zhe' (in eng it means 'responsiblity'... its actually a game to to develope a sense of responsibility among all the group members... wat happen is tat the game master before mine actually told the groups tat if they sing birthday song when they come to my station, they will be rewarded wif extra points and i guess u all noe wat will happen next... i have all the groups singing the 'happy birthday' song to me and it was quite touching at first... however after tat, it was kind of paiseh but i appreciate all their effort and had to pretend to be surprised anyway...

When i tot everything was over, then all of my frens from wesley came out wif a cake out of nowhere and started to sing the birthday song AGAIN to me... then they get oliver to pray for me and it was the best present i ever receive tat day... thank you all who prepare this - i think sabrina was behind all this but nontheless thank you everyone - timothy, dorothy, grace, michelle, san san, melisa, roy, ah liang, jonathan, alen, sabrina, oliver, pastor lisa and all the pastor from the camp... really had a great time spending time wif all of u at the camp...

Thank you everyone who take the time to type a msg to wish me a very happy birthday - helen, alvin, grace ham, johnson, amanda, daniel, joanne, eileen, gloria, soibah, izzah, eunice, joash, erin, my evil twin sister evelyn, ah saw, happy wong, janice, dewei, ah fong, lawson, aaron, rachel, my cousin ah ing, tze qiang, and those who are yet to be named... thank you for all the birthday wishes and though i cannot thank you one by one, i really appreciate it!!!

This is the last birthday wif a 1 in front of my age... next year i will be 20... can't believe i survived this world for nearly one fifth of a century and i hope my years ahead will be a better one...

Finally!!!!! i get to post sth here... the hostel internet connection had been so bad that i could not even sign in for the whole of 2 weeks... only now in the airport i manage to get into the page and type some words!!! somehow i think that applying for the hostel connection is kind of wasteful... juz finish my german exam today!!! din finish the grammar part though... anyway, i did my best already and hope that i can get an A and i will be soooooo satisfied...

The journey back was quite an interesting one... this time i don't feel bored or agitated by the fact that my ears kept getting blocked because of the difference of air pressure despite how many times i swallow my saliva or close my eyes or blow my nose by covering the nose (don't try this at home... self-torturing) and yawning... i juz can't stand the awful feeling of ear-blockness or watever it is called... this time i get to force joanne to play scrabble with me... i could not remember the last time i play scrabble but it was funny teaching joanne how to count points u get from putting one word on the board... she could not understand at first and i had a very very hard time teaching her how to count but later james join in and was catching up easily, at least better than tat joanne tiong jia wen... (she is so gonna beat me up after she sees this... muahaha... but who cares!!! this is my blog!!!)

At last the 2-hour flight back home was like 2 minutes and we could not even finish a game... but somehow we had great fun making fun of each other...

SIBU!!!!!!! ich komme!!!!!

funny...

a fren of mine (tat's YOU - Eileen Ting) recently found an interesting video on youtube...
Please click here...
plz check it out... especially towards the end...


P/s : u will also hear eileen singing in some part of the video

have fun!!!

Part 5 - Of hearts and oranges...

Updates :
Been through a miraculous week last week... nearly lost my handphone but found it eventually (phew....) guess i prayed so hard to God that He had no choice.... haha... also, i heard from my fren tat a fren a hers, who is an atheist all her life, suddenly accepted christ (although later she renounce it) but i was stil happy for her, at least she tried to change her perspective of the existence of God... later, we had another CA - and the theme is 'of hearts and oranges...' basically, heart means valentine while oranges represent chinese new year... after the sermon by Pastor Joshua, i realize that i really don need a valentine so desperately because someone's love is so sufficient... will be going back this week... can't wait !!!!

Part 4 - Of AYA Festival and foochow gang...

Yeah!!! The most anticipated moment is finally here... I'm so very extremely glad that i am able to be one part of it... For ur information, i was one of the volunteer for this amazing festival and i never regretted having spending so much time helping out to make this charity event a success...

All the 5 volunteers from INTEC, UiTM
From left - Joanne, me, Eileen, Cheng Ing
Middle - Grace(the one wif black AYA T-shirt)

The stage where all the bands will be performing -
Sonicflood from USA, Altered Frequency and Unabashed from Malaysia.
Other performers including Suki from One in a Million, Tessie from Actschurch and Mia Palencia from Malaysia too.

Putra Stadium, Bukit Jalil - the place where the festival will be held.

Did i mention that i was in the security team. Wonder y they choose me to be in the team but maybe i prayed hard to be in backstage but instead they placed me to be in the human barrier team, where most of the time i m facing the crowd, not the bands. Here is Joel, the security team leader giving all the members a tour of the stadium so that we get familiarise wif it. As security 'guards', we can't get lost ourselves, can we?

All those who turn out for this life changing event. Hope u guys had a good and fun time having fellowship with each other and with God too.

The head of security guards - Joel, as seen in pic stading behind Sonicflood, the most down-to-earth band in this whole wide world. They are the most friendly bunch of ppl that i had ever met in my entire life. They even offered to take pic wif all the volunteers after the autograph session. I was sooooooo touched by them. Love you all SONICFLOOD!!!!!

Mia Palencia - who sings Yes Jesus loves me which bring back all the good memories back in Sunday Sch...

As i have mention juz now, i was in the human barrier team - which means most of the time i will be facing the crowd to control them so they will not get too crazy just in case (some probably might throw their undergarments on stage... who noes???) Before that, i admit i have been a little starstruck for a while but God put me in the human barrier team to remind me once again to fix my eyes on Him, not the bands who come... I was quite thankful that i was actually not in the backstage team (although before that i was asking God to put me there so that i can see all the bands and performers) This is because if i was back there doing nth but looking at those ppl, i will miss a lot from God... While we were singing praises, the band was playing behind me but i felt that i sensed God even more than the usual praise and worship... i experienced God more because i get to listen to the words of the songs instead of seeing it wif my eyes... it was such a wonderful time having worshiping and serving at the same time...
It is also heartening to see ppl singing together with the band... I see all those faces glowing with satisfaction when singing, some even dance and jump to the beat but its all for God...
Apart from that, i was glad to see the foochow gang from Sibu too... led by Aunty Michele, Lawson, Jonathan and Roy came all the way from Sarawak for this memorable event... It's been some time since i last seen them and hope they enjoy the stay here... Hope to see u guys soon in Sibu...
Til i see u... auf wiedersehen!!!

Part 3 - Of football match and fans of God....

Last tuesday night, all of a sudden out of nowhere some of the guys from ALG (a level german - perpetually well known for its notorious bunch of ppl who play futsal at 2 a.m) suggested that we go watch football match between Malaysia and Singapore... not having watch any football match before in my entire 18 years of life, it sorts of arouse my curiosity and interest to go... And so off we go to the Shah Alam stadium to watch my first every football match...

The place was very crowded and we can juz feel the excitement of football fans there...

Somehow coincidently Malaysia score the first goal during the second half of the game... everyone of us was like dumbfounded for at least 3 seconds before we cheered and shouted for our Malaysian team.

Some of the alg guys cheering so loud that they lost their voice the next day...

The stadium was full of football fans from all over selangor as well as other nearby states i believe...
At last Malaysia tied with Singapore 1 -1

Somehow, through this experience, i felt that God had stirred sth in my heart... i manage to catch the message... All these so called football fans can get extreme when it comes to football, some even dare to throw bottles towards the field and according to my fren, if malaysia happen to lose to sgp tat night, it will be pandemonium because ppl will start throwing chairs and anything they had in hand ... i was like soooo shocked at tat time but then it struk me...

As Christians, why can't we be as crazy as those football fans ??? Why don't we cheer and shouted for Jesus??? Why are we being so cool and unenthusiastic when it comes to evangelism??? Maybe, juz maybe we should be fans of Jesus, who will oweys cheer and lifting up Jesus name wherever we go...

Juz some 2 cents from me... til i see u next time... chow

Part 2 - Of frens from Sibu and Campus Alive...

Having been in Sibu for the last 2 months really boost me up to continue to live the fullest of my life... i was really encouraged by some of the friends i re-met and get to know them better...

1. Ah Fong - the same old round pimpled face... knew her since primary sch and now she is on fire for God!!! Praise the Lord... really encourage me a lot and is a good listener who is willing to share my problems...
2. Dorothy - knew her during Youth Convention 3 years ago, we were both in the same group... been to some church camps with her and such a good poet... now she is in STMS and i believe she can do great things for God...
3. Lawson - used to be my senior during secondary sch but din know him tat well... although he only came to knew the Lord lately but he is so on fire to serve Him... really had a good time working with him on the sketch for christmas eve...
4. Sabrina - 12A1 girl... a very good listener as well ( i know i complain a lot to my frens...) such a strong willed person and believed that God has better plan for her to stay back in Sibu... its really encouraging to see her serving the Lord despite being in form 6 now...
5. Jonathan - don know him really well but after working together with him for the sketch, i found out tat he is a loyal servant of God too... now in STMS with Dorothy and i believe as well that God will use him mightily to bring more ppl to claim more lost souls...
6. a fren of my sis but i forgot his name - really surprise tat he is so willing to serve although i never seen him b4... he is such an encouragement to me to see a young christian being so on fire
7. Siong Ning - knew him since primary sch as well during tuition class, a big bro tat u can always consult if u have any problems... a teacher-to-be... the only person who knows the problems faced by students of government uni
7. BiHo, Melvin, Alen, John, Aaron and all advisors...

Hope to see u all at AYA festival!!!

Campus alive!!! (CA)
i dare say tat its my second home here... the only thing tat i look forward every week is CA... here i met the most helpful and kind seniors, a bunch of students who are juz so on fire for God... its great to serve the Lord with all u ppl from CA... WE ROCK!!!
Continue to stand firm despite all the problems we face and thanks for being so cooperative!!!

"Back" to shah alam...
Part 1 - Of rain and a big box...

it has been quite a restless week for me... in a nutshell, its a very painful week for me... physically painful... everyone noes that it rains a lot this few months in malaysia and unfortunately shah alam too... so it gets very slippery every now and then at everywhere as u can see in all over malaysia... so it gets slippery and of course to some extent, dangerous for ppl with problems maintaining their balance maybe because sth in the ear is not functioning (haven touch bio for a long time...) like ME because they will slip and fall right on their buttocks and back down the STAIRS... IMAGINE THAT!!!!! so in the end i end up having bruises all over them...

the next day, as if i do not hav enuf bad luck for the week... another drastical accident happened... while i was walking back from gloria's room, so happy tat i finally managed to borrow a calculator from her... at the same time i even see a big box that i've wanted to put things at her room, so without any further thoughts, i ask from her and happily she gave it to me... as i was walking back to my own block, somehow, i juz trip and fell to the ground... haih, guess i don hav to tel u wat happen next...

haih... i've nth more to say

2006... Its a wrap!!!!

Yesterday i was browsing some of my frens' blog and found out tat everyone has at least make an effort to blog about their new year resolutions and how 2006 was such a grand & extravagant or dull & monotonous year for them... it sorts of trigger my enthusiasm to blog about mine too!!!

For me, if i were to choose one word to describe 2006 -- contented (perhaps...) , blessed (definitely...) , worn out (sometimes...) , downcast (once in a while...) --> hey, tat's more than one word but who cares... i'm the one who is writing it... har har har

ehem, back to the fundamental thing -- the capital R --> RESOLUTIONS
actually they are not my cup of tea but since everyone is doing it, here goes :
1. Get all A's for the next exam, coz i miss chemistry this time (sob... sob...)
2. Finish reading the whole bible!!!! (kind of not reading it so much since i finish disciple... juz a little here and there... i need to be consistent!!!)
3. Be more thankful and appreciate things around me (i've taken things for granted too much...)
4. Glorify God in everything that i do...
5. Be attentive in class and don't sleep during lessons
6. Make more new frens
7. Try my best to tolerate ppl that i don't like... (God plz help me in this!!!)
8. Be a good leader and examples to juniors
9. SAVE money coz i have been too wasteful last year!!!
10. Hope to be spiritually and mentally mature in the years to come...

Tat's all from me this time...

My most meaningful Christmas ever!!!

Last week i have been quite involved in Christmas activities organized by Wesley Youth... first we go shopping (yay!!!) and buy stuff like rice, cooking oil, milo, biscuits, junk food, canned food and so on and then we wrapped them up... it was a lot of fun doing it and we all hav good fellowship during tat session... after tat we distribute them to the less fortunate ppl... it was really really heart rending and saddening to see there are so many ppl who are sooo much less fortunate than us... i remember auntie Grace was soooooo emotinal when we pass by the illegal housing area, she nearly want to giv out all the presents to them but uncle Daniel say tat it will be endless as there are too many of them to giv... tat time, my heart was wif auntie Grace too, i too was so eager to giv our presents to them but they are outnumbered and we can't do anything about it... then the feeling of helplessness once again feel me up... as a christian we were always told to make a difference to the world and here we are feeling so helpless when we see ppl who are so unfortunate and most importantly some of them don't even know Jesus...
Later we went to visit some family, most of them are widows and bcoz their husbands ran away or pass away and they hav to raise up their children bare handed... i really salute them bcoz despite all the difficulties, they manage to support their family without their husbands (chou nan ren) and on the way, i realize how contented is our church bcoz they are not trying to reach out to these ppl but only stay in their own comfort zone... sorry i hav to say this but i felt tat our church is being too selfish when they only care for themselves but not for others but i like the spirit of out youth bcoz we try to reach out to ppl who are less fortunate and without getting to the front page of the newspaper (not like some who called themselves charity organizations like leo or lion club)
Anyway, really wan to take this chance to thank a couple of ppl... Lawson, Bi Ho, Jonathan, Joanne, Sabrina, Nyuk Hung, Dorothy, Melvin, John, Stanley, Siong Ning, Ah Fong and all the other youths from Wesley... Thank you for ur coorperation in helping to put together efforts for these christmas activities esp the sketch... although we fail the first time during the rehearsal but we never giv up and continue to try and try and re-do everything and sacrifice a lot of time for this sketch... in the end, everything was paid off when we heard the clappings of the audience... hope they were touched by this sketch and get the msg tat we are trying to convey...

last but not least, i hope everyone had a wonderful christmas and Merry Christmas!!!! God bless...

Back home once again...

so good being at home once again, juz enjoying the feeling leaving all the blankets behind without actually folding it... Ahhh!!! Home sweet home... of coz i need to bear my mum's nagging... she will go on and on about how little i hav change and blah blah blah... the fact is i fold my blanket every single day when i was at the hostel, its juz tat y shud i fold my blanket when i m back home??? i see no point in it... anyway, my mum is juz being herself, if she doesn't nag, sth really wrong is going on... haha

meeting frens is another thing which i enjoy since i got back but lately it seems they are always bz and din reply or replying late some of ur msg... maybe its juz my presumption tat we are not tat close again... maybe they are REALLY bz or wat... so its going to be a very boring holiday so tat's y i need to find sth to do...

Below is a list of wat i m planning to do this holiday :

1. Slam dunk (as in basketball slam dunk which i oweys hope i can do it, but it seems the chances are slightly low since i cannot find a basketball net which is low enuf, anyway, its juz a planning)
2. Finish reading the whole set of harry potter once again
3. shop-til-i-drop in Singapore ( which i doubt it bcoz of financial prob, as u all know, singapore currency is quite big)
4. throw a farewell party for sze wen who will be leaving for Aus for her studies (sob sob)
5. (to be continued)....
   

LIFE IS LIKE TAT...

its been long since i posted sth here... juz finish my ethics exam this morning and found out tat it wasn't as hard as i imagine... i manage to bluff through 3 pages of matlamat kehidupan manusia mengikut pelbagai aspek agama... ethics---> the funniest subject i had ever encounter in my whole life... we study about darwin theory of how a bear can mutate into a whale... i nearly laugh my head off when i read the whole chapter of evolution of Men but sometimes i felt a sheer anger when they mention sth which is not true about Christianity... its like how can they say old testament contradictied wif new testament... tat is juz their opinion, not the truth, they studied it the different way... however, life is like tat....
OK, back to shah alam... the weather here sucks... seriously, its hot and humid... it never rains, i mean not long enuf to cool things down... plus the haze here is really extremely thick and choking, i wonder if ppl living here for the rest of their life can stand it or not? but anyway, life is like tat...
Next week is the depa raya holiday but i don't get to go back... feel really homesick but i think its not worth spending so much money going back for only a week then come back for a week before i start my 2-months-end-of-semester-break... but stil, life is like tat...

tat's all for now, chao...

sometimes its hard to be considerate to ppl, esp those who weren't grateful to the help offered to them... you should at least say 'thank you' after using the things u borrowed for such long time until I don't even have time to use it too... haih, God i know U wanted me to glorify U wif all the things i have, so plz make me strong in enduring and ignoring the little voices inside my heart.... Amen

Happy birthday to Amanda!!!

Friday was Amanda's 18th birthday and we juniors actually planned a surprise for her... i think she was touched enuf... haha, imagine we nearly wake the whole akasia up at 12 am with our candles... romantic leh...

soooo romantic!!!

we took 1 hour to make this shape u noe!!!

German week!!! woo....

Last weekend our seniors put in a lot of effort and hard work to organize a German week. I was involved in the fashion show. Below are the pics of the 'models' wearing traditional clothing of Germany...

Kem Bina Insan

Last week i went for a camp organized by maybe our sponsors or sch... whatever lah... below are the pictures.... sorry for the short and brief narration... been kind of busy this few days...
