I wish i could add photos.. but i didn't bring the usb cable to connect my phone to the com. *sigh*
No classes today ! =) well..i went to Kuantan to shop for the 1st time..haha.. And guess what.. there were like 80 + students waiting for the bus to Kuantan.. haih... had to squeeze and squish but couldn't make the 1st round...yeah.. extra 1 hr gone.
The bus I sat in to and fro (public bus) was odd.. seriously.. if the driver tekan minyak, oni got air cond.. if he stops at a traffic light, the air cond will be weak. Conclusion, the strength of the air cond is directly proportional to the revs of the engine.. =P
Had pizza for lunch...=D finally.. i feared that the pepsi will corrode my insides...=S.. hadn't drank one in ages.. lol. but yeah. good food. good price also. =O
quote and thought for the day
"kindness is something that can be seen by the blind and heard by the deaf"
i forgot who quoted it but yeah...meaningful eh? thats all for today... God bless ya.
Agape..

scrub...scrub...
hey all... back after 2 days of being "banned" from blogspot for "violating" their blog's terms and conditions lol... The blogspot team suspected my blog to be a spam blog.. yeah. spam blog. *i don spam!~* and they asked me to fill out a review form to unlock my blog. and they are hilarious..when i got their email i didn't know whether to laugh or feel frustrated.. they said this..." we find spam using an automatic classifier.. our system may be at times fuzzy and erroneous ..Since u are an actual person reading this, ure blog is probably not a spam blog, on behalf of the robots we apologize. " *...* anyways...whats important is my blog is now active again! =D
Since i came to college, i rarely tried out a game of basketball or in general went for any sports. Not due to the fact that i was busy and loaded with assignments and fatigue from a whole day of lectures (partially true) but the truth behind it....but i jus didn't want to handwash my clothes after that.=X..i usually collect 3 days worth of clothes and dump them in the washing machine.. u may call me lazy or what but...haha.. thats just me =D
But that day i DID actually go for basketball and yeah.. the hard work.. but when i took up my brush and started scrubbing, it was quite fun actually lol.. my lectures , assignments, tutorials..i threw it all on the brush..and my clothes... poor thing.. but yeah..it WAS a new and fun experience though i will dread doing it still.. =(
yep, aside from those stories, my thought today is from ezekiel 36:26. u can go read it ureself haha.. you know if a lobster loses its claw in a fight, it will grow a new one.. hmm...if we could grow hands and legs, it will be wonderful haha.. but have u heard of a creature that grew a new heart? One may have seen a bough lopped of a tree, and have thought that perhaps the tree will grow a new limb and sprout again. But does the old tree get a new core and new sap? But God, has given us new hearts and new cores, He has put the vital substance into man afresh and made new creatures of them. Amen?
"just as i am without a plea,
But that Your blood was shed for me,
and that U bid'st me come to You,
O Lamb, O God, I come."
agape..

day 16....
haha.... HI ALL! counting the days i have been here since i started matriculation lol.... seriously... life is quite monotonous here... 8-4pm classes/lectures/tutorials....then go online/sleep/sports until 6-7pm... 8pm go to the library... 1030 pm get ready then 11pm sleep...haha... unless i have like a lot of assignments la and tutorials...(i just dont like the word "homework" =P) well the past 2 days have been really hectic though... slept at 130am for 2 days in a row... but yeah...other than that i think i am adjusting well...Life here cant be at all that bad after all..praise God.. hehe...
Guess what??? Hillsong came to KL today and... i AM missing it...sob sob... well...... hmm.... there will be always another time...lolx... *self comfort* =P and to rub it in, some of them there gave me a call...not once but twice! cruel huh.. lol...with the background music and all... arghhh.. one din even utter a word... He just let me enjoy the "ambience"..=.= (through a phone...=.=lll) and they were doing Break Free... haih... well well..."friends"...=S...haha…but I seriously appreciate them for doing so..=)
well...i think i will make it a point to share a thought every time i blog...so here is my thought today... "we carry the presence of God with us"... y did i suddenly think of this? well its not spontaneous... during my 1st week here i got to know a lot of friends.. and one or two of them asked me... y is it that Christians are always so joyful, always so outspoken and always ready to share something? i laughed off that question in the first place.... it was quite natural to me..i didn't intentionally force myself to act or behave that way...but when i was alone, i gave 2nd thoughts bout it.. well... it made me realize the importance of being Christlike... our external reactions to people reflect Christ in our lives.. be constantly aware of what u do.. how u react.. think twice.. desire for God to fill u more with His presence daily.. Ps 42:1...as the deer thirsts for water, my soul thirsts for U.. though not all people may not say it out aloud like my newfound friend did... but i am sure that little by little, we are impacting their lives... impacting our generation bit by bit.. sometimes we do not need to share the Gospel or even talk bout Christ...people are watching... our actions plant the seed... our "presence"...
Yeps thats all for tonite... to all my friends back in Kl...i really reaaaaaallly miss u guys... but we will keep in touch k? God bless ! =D

Souled Purpose
hi all...i am starting my 1st blog...from pahang! (yea...don think this place no internet la..jungle la...monkeys etc etc.. my coll got wifi ok....) haha... so yeah.... hope that this blog can be an encouragement.. especially to my fellow brothers and sisters out there...
Why souled purpose? well...its not because i couldn't get names like solepurpose, uniquepurpose, beautifulpurpose and all those..(though i did try....=P) and...it has nothing to do with Souled-out....haha.. yeah...but why? I sort of believe that our lives are centered around a purpose.. and if u have heard of the term soulful before...u will kinda understand what i am trying to mean here.... haha...go figure... a purpose driven life...a life full of soul and vigor.. a purpose that is full of soul and meaning... sincere...packaged with a unique destiny...
Each of our lives are unique...each with its own God given purpose... I sometimes wonder to myself... y did God place me in Pahang... to do matriculation...y didn't He give me a scholarship to go somewhere else... or somewhere more "comfortable"... After many nights of praying and thinking i finally realized why God took me out... the verse 2nd Cor 5:20...we are all Christ's Ambassadors hit me.. I realized that God not only wanted to help me further my studies... but He wanted to take me away...out of my comfort zone to reach young people here... to become His representative here.. to fulfill the great commission.. To be honest with u...i have never considered ever ever leaving...when i got this offer...this calling...i never gave 2nd thoughts bout it.. but when He who wants His will to be accomplished will pave the way and open doors... and make sure u walk in His will... i have only been here for 2 weeks plus... but i can see the potential of a revival here.. besides all these, there are other reasons which i can see why God placed me here... but the important one is that of the above.. and this should not only be applied to those who are away... we must be constantly aware, constantly alert... He is coming soon.. make every moment count..
Its always like a daily line in church when we say that "God take me out of my comfort zone". I used to pray that God will do that...and He did...but trust me..its not like what i expected it to be.. Sometimes its so easy to say things, its so easy to make promises but the doing part is where we fail at times... But when God takes u out of your comfort zone, your relationship with Him will be more intimate...One will be more sensitive to the Holy Spirit.. I have experienced so much more of God's presence here.. I have to admit i have been too comfortable back there at home..with friends and family and all the familiar people around me.. to the extent of neglecting a lot of things...including spiritual food.. But ever since i came here, I had lots of quiet times when i spend alone...and God has never stopped prompting me to pray for others, to seek His word daily, to desire for more of Him... to walk in His will..to change for the better... the adjusting part will definitely take quite sometime... i dare say until today i still miss home.. but i am excited and looking forward to what God is gonna accomplish here.. So young people out there.. If U sense God is calling u to some place whether to study or something else, do consider it.. its a great experience to grow... and train yourself to reach out to be the salt and the light.. let every moment of your life be purposeful... desire a newness in Christ.. ask God to mould u and shape u and watch a new you, another phase, another chapter of your life unfold in front of ure very eyes..
My final thought tonight is why do we sometimes say that "God...why did U allow this to happen??" and we usually say this when bad things happen to us...we feel depressed and everything...Surprisingly we never ask that question when good things happen to us..sometimes we don't even thank God for it...its not for us to question and prompt into God's work.. What comes from God is always for the better... God only allows Satan to do certain things to test our faith...to grow stronger in Him.. all the bad stuff and evil comes from Satan.. never from God.. in fact like Job, we shud never complain...in fact be thankful.. God blesses and gives... Satan takes away and destroys.. Don't ever blame God for the bad things that happen to u... be content... its just a trial.. if u choose to mull in it...dwell in it.. u will never move on... Be still and know that He is God...(Psalms 46:10) cast all your cares and burdens upon Him..but NEVER EVER blame Him... He loved us so much that He gave His one and only son for us... thats the ultimate price.. what more our problems..which are so small as compared to the things that God can do... and yet He cares.. continue to love Him and don't stop holding on to Him though u are at a low... stand strong on your faith and u will rise on eagle's wings.. He will lift u... comfort u...restore u...
yep... I will just leave that much for u to digest.. haha...my first post...so i don't really know how to end this.. erm... thats all for now la...haha... hope u will be greatly encouraged by what has been shared here.. more to come in the future..=D ... till then God bless all of u....=)
