Life series : Part 1 - Life talks

最近发现自己还蛮喜欢思考有关于生命的东西，也许是个人的一个怪癖，动不动就搞个什么自闭，然后就乱乱想七想八。可是这次总算有个总结出来了，那就是：生命是能说话的 - Life talks。

上帝给于我们一个很神奇的旅途，无可否认，它是充满着酸甜苦辣。可是，它也是能让我们享受神所创造的万物，包括他的种种恩典及恩惠。生命让我们能够更进一步亲身体验神在我们身上所行的一切。所以，我们更应该活出生命，活出神的应许。

下篇预告:生命不止是那样- Life is more than that

update for the sake of update

haha... as u all might hav known... i m back home... n til now, i only go out once wif eileen for supper on her birhtday night (which i completely forgot!!!) n i found out tat there's a lot of september babies compare to august (billy, ur theory doesn't really stand now) n i finally manage to find a scanner to scan my photo n signature to my cv... woooh!!! life is good here...

n now... photos :

The problem wif sibu ppl, they r rich enough to buy a big car, rich enough to eat a bowl of RM8 heh mee (prawn noodle) but no money to pay for the parking coupon... yer...


haha... sidetrack a bit... now come the real story...
this is the famous 3-layer-tea from sarawak... its nice coming back n be welcomed by food from sibu... haha... somehow i got invited to this dinner by ps lisa n auntie michelle... i think its a welcoming dinner for the new advisors of youth worship...

so great to be able to spend time wif all the aunties n uncles... miss they all so much since i left youth worship for studies...


and i oso had the chance to sing during praise n worship... ooh now i love singing back up... haha


finally i oso had to chance to get back to my comic books after so long...

tat's all from me

5 reasons i like being a Malaysian chinese...

1. i can sing 'Happy Birthday' song wif no pronunciation problem at all... try watch the taiwanese series n when they sing 'Happy Birthday' song... aish... beh tahan lah... they cannot pronounce the 'th' as in the 'f' but instead they pronounce it the 'st' way... so it sounds like 'burstday' instead of 'burfday'...

2. same goes wif 'Thank you'... try watch zhang zi yi at the mtv movie awards... aiyer... malu-nye... keep saying 'Sank-you to all my fans' =_=

3. FOOD, oh... glorious food!!! there's no need to elaborate in this n all malaysian shout :

Satay, teh tarik, rendang, nasi lemak, kampua n kompia... haha

4. who else in this world got politicians acting like entertainers to entertain the rakyat???

everyone plz laugh out loud : HAHAHA Mr-ah-watever-his-name-is-i-don-care-coz-his-name-
is-not-even-worthy-to-be-mention-here-mad

5. and finally... we get to noe FRIENDS from so many races n learn to speak so many dialects n eat so many different stuff... yeah!!!!

someitmes its easy to get angry at certain ppl but i take it as an eye-opener n a chance to pray for our country more.... together we can go through this hardship n rejoice in being a MALAYSIAN!!!

You are nobody...

評論：鄭丁賢‧只是一個失意政客

2008-09-09 19:45

阿末依斯邁（我很不屑提這個名字），他以為他是誰？

他只不過是一個失意的政客；失去靠山、失去工程，沒有合約、沒有前途的政客。

就因為一無所有，他才豁了出去，想要挑起族群情緒，製造對抗。

他以為把池水給弄濁了，就可以混水摸魚，撈起一些政治資本。

馬來西亞各族人民，智慧應該要高過阿末許多，不要按照他的劇本，隨他起舞。

馬來西亞的前途,比阿末依斯邁個人前途重要太多，太多了；所以，不必陪著他鬧下去。

各個族群之間的諒解、團結，也遠遠超出阿末依斯邁的想像；所以，不要給他有挑撥的機會。

對付一個興風作浪的政治惡客，尤其是這種不自量力的劣腳，就是把他逐出政壇，使他消聲匿跡。

同時也正告各界，這類人物和言論，在馬來西亞這個國家，絕對沒有一寸的存在空間。

就這麼簡單，結束，終點。

然後，大家過好自己的日子。

放在正常國家，就是這麼樣的處理法。因為公民是平等的，正義是要維護的。

只是要具備基本的道德勇氣而已。道德、勇氣是維持社會公正，國家和諧的必要條件，包括處理阿末的問題。

以最基本的道德衡量，就可以裁定阿末的惡劣程度。

從最基本的勇氣出發，就必須對阿末作出合理的制裁。

一次又一次的冷漠、猶豫；重覆又重覆的因循、苟且；只會助長阿末的氣焰，愈加囂張，不把任何人、任何勸說，任何壓力放在眼裡。

但是，一再的容忍、討好，卻使他膨脹起來，以為他真的可以呼風喚雨。

要阻止他玩下去，就是當頭一棒，把他狠狠的敲醒，然後大聲的告訴他：You are nobody，你只是一個失意政客。

aftermath... the beginning

I hav very mixed feelings about coming back home this time… hav been thinking a lot during my 2 hours flight back… it has been a journey of ups n downs the past few weeks n now its time for a short rest before embarking on a new journey… finally I’ve make my choice after much seeking n the answer is exceptionally clear… I guess God is making it very clear tat I shud go to a new place to start off a new point of my life there… wat can I do there I do not noe but I continue to trust the Lord tat He will guide me n lead me to wherever He is leading me to… n now only I understand, everything tat happen to me for the past 2 months, be it good or bad, happy or sad, satisfying or lacking, it all started to make sense… now I realize, whatever that happened, happen for a reason… tat I may trust the Lord n not lean on my own understanding to make my own decision…

things learned today :

i shall shut myself TOTALLY off when i m having PMS... nuff said

Premenstrual Syndrome: PMS is a disorder characterized by a set of hormonal changes that trigger disruptive symptoms in a significant number of women for up to two weeks prior to menstruation. Of the estimated 40 million suffers, more than 5 million require medical treatment for marked mood and behavioral changes. Often symptoms tend to taper off with menstruation and women remain symptom-free until the two weeks or so prior to the next menstrual period. These regularly recurring symptoms from ovulation until menses typify PMS, premenstrual syndrome.

Characteristics
Over 150 symptoms have been attributed to PMS. After complaints of feeling "out-of-control", anxious, depressed and having uncontrollable crying spells, the most common complaints are headache and fatigue. But symptoms may vary from month to month and there may even be symptom-free months. No women present with all the PMS symptoms. Characteristically symptoms may be both physical and emotional. They may include physical symptoms as headache, migraine, fluid retention, fatigue, constipation, painful joints, backache, abdominal cramping, heart palpitations and weight gain. Emotional and behavioral changes may include anxiety, depression, irritability, panic attacks, tension,lack of co-ordination, decreased work or social performance and altered libido.

JOANNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FASTER COME LOR!!!

Selamat Hari Merdeka!!!

hanya beberapa jam sehingga pukul 12... di sini, saya ingin tulis blog dalam bm sekali lagi selepas percubaan pertama saya tahun lepas... sempena perayaan hari merdeka, saya akan mendedikasikan post ini kepada negara Malaysia yang saya cintai...

saya nak mulakan post saya dengan berkongsi apa yang saya lalui dalam minggu ini... saya terpaksa memilih bidang yang akan diceburi saya apabila saya berada di Jerman dan tempat saya nak meneruskan pelajaran saya... akan tetapi, saya berasa saya tidak cukup bersedia untuk memilih bidang ataupun tempat sebab beberapa kesulitan yang dihadapi... pertama, saya tidak lagi yakin dengan fizik saya setelah saya mendapat keputusan yang kurang memuaskan... kedua, saya tidak pasti sama ada saya nak pergi ke tempat yang banyak terdapat senior-senior atau ke satu tempat yang kurang terdapatnya orang malaysia supaya saya dapat memulakan sesuatu yang bermanfaatkan apabila saya berada di situ selama 5 tahun...

pada CA yang lepas, saya dapat pengetahuan yang banyak dan di sini saya ingin berkongsi pengalaman saya juga... saya mendapat tahu seorang penerima biasiswa bank negara membuat keputusan untuk kembali ke tanah air kesayangannya setelah dia habis melanjutkan pelajaran di US... kawan-kawannya memperlikannya kerana dia sanggup melepaskan peluang untuk untung duit yang banyak di US... hakikatnya, kawan-kawanny bagai kacang lupakan kulit kerana, walaupun mereka ini boleh memperolehi duit yang banyak dari bekerja di luar negara untuk menebuskan diri daripada diikat oleh kontrak mereka, tetapi mereka telah lupa siapa yang membantu mereka apabila mereka tidak mampu untuk melanjutkan pelajaran mereka... oleh itu, saya membuat keputusan untuk kembali ke tanah air bukan kerana saya tidak mahu jadi macam mereka yang bagai kacang lupakan kulit, tetapi saya berputuskan untuk men-honour-kan kontrak saya dengan sponsor saya (because my God is a covenant keeping God and therefore i wan to honour that) <-- tak tahu bagaimana nak cakap dalam bm...

kepada kawan-kawan sekalian yang sedang membaca post ini, sila fikir tentang soalan ini : kalau pelajar-pelajar yang dihantar ke luar negara oleh kerajaan kita tidak mahu balik dan bekerja untuk negara kita, adakah negara kita akan terus menghantar pelajar-pelajar ke luar negara? kalau macam itu, banyaklah pelajar yang seharusnya dibantu tetapinya peluangnya telah dihancurkan oleh mereka yang tidak mahu balik ke negara setelah menghabiskan pelajaran mereka di luar... fikirkanlah wahai kawan-kawan...

begitulah post saya yang saya banyak meluangkan masa untuk berfikir dan menaip... harap-haraplah kalian sekalian memahami apa yang hendak dikongsikan di sini...

Dying to self...

hav been pondering on this 3 words for quite some time n i found this posted up on my home church blog

When you are forgotten, or neglected, or purposely set at naught (means zero),
and you don't sting and hurt with the insult,
but your heart is happy being counted worthy to suffer for Christ...
that is DYING TO SELF.

When your good is evil spoken of,
when your wishes are crossed,
your advise disregarded,
your opinions ridiculed,
and you refuse to let anger rise in your heart or even defend yourself,
but take it all in patient, loving silence....
that is DYING TO SELF.

When you lovingly and patiently bear any disorder,
any irregularity,
any annoyance (EGR cases, for eg!);
when you stand face-to-face
with waste, folly, extravagance, spriritual insensibility,
and endure it as Jesus endured...
that is DYING TO SELF.

When you are content with any food (durian, NEVER!),
any offering, any climate, any society, any raiment (ramen?? means clothing...hehe),
any interruption by the will of God...
that is DYING TO SELF.

When you never care to refer to yourself in conversation,
or to record your own good works,
or itch after commendations,
when you can truly love to be unknown...
that is DYING TO SELF.

When you can see your brother prosper and have his needs met,
and can honestly rejoice with him in spirit
and feel no envy nor question God,
while your own needs are far greater and in desperate circumstances...
that is DYING TO SELF.

When you can receive correction and reproof from one of less stature than yourself
and can humbly submit inwardly as well as outwardly,
finding no rebellion or resentment rising up within your heart...
that is DYING TO SELF.

So what do we live for? To die...

Are you dead yet? In these last days, the Spirit would bring us to the cross, "That I may know him...Being made conformable unto His death," Phil. 3:10

Olympics

sadly the olympics has draw near to an end... the closing ceremony will be tonight... although i din hav much chance to watch most of the events, one thing tat really strikes me the most is this...Yao Ming carries the flag of China as he holds the hand of nine-year-old earthquake survivor Lin Hao during the opening ceremony for the Beijing 2008 Olympics in Beijing.-AP - 8 August, 2008

big thank you to the super woman driver who fetch me all the way to UIA to attend amir's bro wedding... its also the first malay wedding i attended in west malaysia... too bad i never get to see them bersanding... but thanks to all my frens who so patiently explain to me wat is going on there in UIA... i especially enjoy the gamelan, which i forgot to take photo of... i vaguely remember from my sejarah text books tat last time gamelan is for royalty only...

when i was exploring around the building wif sophie, i took this...

共勉之（二）。。。

I love you not because of who you are,
but because of who I am when I am with you.
我愛你不是因為你是誰，而是我在你面前可以是誰。

No man or woman is worth your tears,
and the one who is, won't make you cry.
沒有男人或女人是值得你為他流眼淚，值得的那一位，不會要你哭。

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to,
doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
那人不是你所想般的方式愛你，但不代表那人不是全心全意地愛你。

Never frown, even when you are sad,
because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
就算你不快樂也不要皺眉，因為你永不知道誰會愛上你的笑容。

To the world you may be one person,
but to one person you may be the world.
在世界裡你可能只是某人，但對某人你可能是全世界。

Don't waste your time on a man/woman,
who isn't willing to waste their time on you.
不要花時間在一個不會花時間在你身上的人。

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one,
so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.
可能神要我們在遇到那位對的人之前先遇上一些錯的人，
讓我們遇到那位對的人時懂得珍惜。

Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
不要因為完結而哭，要為曾經發生而微笑。

There's always going to be people that hurt you,
so what you have to do is keep on trusting and
just be more careful about who you trust next time around.
這個世界永遠也會有一些傷害你的人，
你要做的就是繼續嘗試去相信人和小心你下次你相信的人。

Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try
and know someone else and expect them to know you.
在你嘗試了解其他人和盼望其他人明白你之前，
先把你自己變成一個更好的人和了解你自己。
