awesome weekend...

haha.... apparently i don't blog when i go home haha... missing after a week and yeah..what a loaded weekend of events man..

after arriving in KL.. i decided to take in a huge breath of KL air.. which resulted in a series of coughs... =X haha.. well... foolish me...=P but can't deny i still love being a KL"ite"..=P

lets start off with friday night... haha.. the instant i stepped out of my car, my friend was waiting for me there... in front of my house.. reached approx 645 pm and movie was 715.. yes.. i was planning to watch The Incredible Hulk with my friend.. lol... and i rushed the whole house down.. lol.. yeah and we made it for the movie.. awesome movie.. especially.... *spoiler alert* ... with Stark appearing at the end.. but i felt a longing.. like some parts were left hanging.. haha.. but i rate it 9/10.. =) and being a shutterbug (yes.. for those who didn't know.. i love capturing scenery.. ), i caught this shot on top of the shopping complex that evening..


sorry for the quality of the pics.. they were taken randomly with a 2 megapixel phone cam.. so yeah..

Saturday morning... went to watch Amazing Grace at GSC Mid Valley.. imagine man.. 2 movies in less than 24 hours... @.@ .. haha.. I super semangat man.. reached MV at 930am..(the movie starts at 1030am) well at least a few ppl were there adi so i didn't feel awkward... this shot is something i never seen.. for a moment i felt like i owned GSC...=P


woots.. there were like a 100 odd tickets there.. haha.. each one costs RM 12.. do the math.. lol.. a thousand plus Ringgit there... O_O i know how u feel.. lol.. i felt the same.. a thousand over bucks for just a small stack of cards.. haha..

Movie turn out was great.. had a time of lunch and fellowship with Chi ppl.. though finding at a lunch spot at MV at the peak hour (1pm) was a tough task.. and had an awesome youth service... It reminded me of the grace given to us by Him.. Our chains are gone.. we've been set free... because He has ransomed us.. Just like the movie where one man gave all he had to abolish the slave trade.. Jesus gave His very life.. God gave His one and only son.. to abolish our wrongs.. to erase our transgressions.. to wipe away our iniquities..

Finally Sunday.. as usual church in the morning.. and yeah.. basketball in the evening.. it was surprisingly quiet.. the guys played their own game... there were like 10 -12 of us only.. a lot less than usual.. the gurls played for a while... then stopped.. like no semangat...the fact that Annabelle and Wei Chin were absent.. and only like 5 of them were there.. haha.. then they were talking bout nursery rhymes..o_O.. and the morbidity of it...=P hahas.. well.. yeah.. that Sunday evening.. was one of the quietest i had since i joined the youth for bball.. sad.. =(

Well Anna left for UM.. but i heard from her dad that God has been good and has granted her awesome room mates.. i will not tell u why.. when i heard it myself, i was in disbelief.. God IS good.. go ask her yourselves haha..=P.. But i am glad that God heard her prayers.. and made her as comfortable as she could there by paving paths and making the impossible possible..

And today here i am back here again... haha.. i have to switch modes.. from relax mode to work mode again.. i hardly touched my work back home.. oh the rush again.. late nights.. stress.. AND i PROMISE... i won't be back for some time.. seriously.. exams coming.. focus..In August.. i will be back for 2 weeks.. but till then... life goes on here.. apparently, amongst all the people that have left for studies, i come back most often.. =P.. well.. reason being its quite near la.. its only outstation.. haha.. not overseas.. =)

Finally a shot of my room (my table).. i love it cause i have my personal space and all..


Time flies.. its the last day of June.. and its gonna be 2 months soon since i have been here.. so till the next time i see u guys.. take care and God bless.. i know many of u all will be starting coll and getting busy... but enjoy it as much as u can.. and remember to be an impactor in ure respective colleges for Him..=)

Agape..

thank U...

hey all!

Coming back this weekend again...=D reason being monday is a holiday in my coll... due to some event.. so.. i get to spend sunday with u all! woots..=)

i got my chem test results back today.. these results are part of my continuous assessment which makes up 10% of my finals... when i passed up my paper last week.. i thought i was doomed... cause i made a careless mistake on one of those long questions right at the beginning.. so means that usually the rest of the question gg adi.. =( i was expecting like 15/25.. which is really bad.. cause my teacher was expecting from a few of us to deliver.. but praise God.. i got my paper back today and the score was 2x/25.. =D all glory to Him.. (nope i din get 25/25... lol.. i made quite a major hiccup really).. well.. another incident that proves God exists and He can make the impossible possible...

I also thank God that we managed to get a 230pm bus back home this friday..man.. the queue was so long and i thought we were really gonna get a late bus or sat morn bus.. but somehow i least expected a afternoon bus.. o.O miracle really.. to book 4 tickets on a bus to KL.. (btw a lot of ppl head towards KL from coll..)

so much to thank God for.. He is the sole purpose why i am writing this post now... people... never give up.. cause things happen.. when u put all your trust in Him.. even when u are pushed to a corner.. to a breaking point.. cast everything.. i repeat EVERYTHING upon Him.. He knows u better than u know ureself.. aren't we supposed to be glad of that? =)

Agape..

there and back again

wah...i didn't realize that i missed blogging for a long time....haha... note the title.. familiar huh?

i have my cable with me now...but no pics yet..=X haha... sorry.. but i promise...kays? i am a man of my word...*cough*

had my 1st experience on a night bus that day... it was fun.. everybody was like sleeping and i was wide awake O_O.. for some reason which i cant fathom myself haha.... spent a lot of time with my family back there... had dinner and all.. I was so worried when i got back i couldn't drive.. haha... u may say i think too much larh... once drive know how to drive one larh.. but yeah.. i had a bit of drivophobia... (lol..).. well my parents trusted me enuff to drive them back from church and all and phew.. nothing happened...=D praise God for protection...=)

Went to my school's carnival in the morning.. my main purpose for coming back.. cause i could see many of my old friends again... ehe... well i didn't eat as much as i did back then during my school days... but i talked and spent double the time i used to spend with my friends on carnival day.. well all in all.. i had fun.. duh.. haha..

but honestly... it IS very tiring to commute to and fro from this place.. and to come back for that mere 30+ hours.. but it is rewarding indeed.. haha.. It is likely that i will not come back for the whole month of July..perhaps next week i will be.. and if something pops up.. then i will only come back...but i will be back for my august holidays...=) 2 weeks.. =D honestly it took me quite sometime to digest that i haven't been back for a month adi.. time flies huh.. =O but one thing is for sure.. i will be missing a lot of events this year sob sob.. =(

I thank God for healing me.. from a terrible sore throat and cough i had... He is our healer.. amen? Our God IS a miracle working God.. =)

Finally... I constantly pray that u guys will be doing your utmost best for God.. for the love He gave.. for the sacrifice He paid.. for the priceless Gift on the Cross of Calvary....

Agape..

wah...eventful weekend..

well...a lot of things happened throughout the past 4 days where i have failed to post.. =( well... but I'll summarize...=)

firstly, i started to attend a new church! well an AOG church larh.. and i could adjust there better...the young people there are friendly... the adults too.. they took me out for lunch together... and surprisingly, i found out that this church is built on the foundation of a few families.. that means like 40 ppl..so around 10 families.. everyone knew each other.. well.. i comfortable and adjusting very well in this church... but it takes me like 1 hr to get to kuantan.. haih.. thats the downside la..

i went to watch Kungfu Panda at the megamall in Kuantan on Sunday.. WOots.. funny larh.. the show.. though idiotic.. i got the last ticket! whew.. but sad part is it was the seat right at the front and i was watching alone... =( cause i went to church alone.. but i can say i learnt a few things from the show.. very good values.. after watching, got my own neck cramped up haha.. looking up for one hour plus is not easy...

Just yesterday, my newfound friend in college had to leave cause he opted for the JPA scholarship.. well.. he was one of my best new friends that i knew and i am disappointed that he had to leave so quickly.. but i wish him all the best...

well.. broke my personal sleep record here... haha... slept at 530am yesterday and woke up at 7am.. lots of work larh.. but well.. still doing ok.. lectures ARE really beginning to bore me out.. i noticed some people starting to "fish" in class.. well for those who don't understand go figure...=P

finally i end with a quote by Master Oogway (direct from the subtitles) in Kungfu Panda...yes..he is a tortoise...=O...

"the past is history, the future is mystery... we must be thankful for our everyday because it is a gift.. thats y it is called "present"

i love this quote.. made me stop focusing on the movie and ponder upon it for a sec... yep.. appreciate and thank God that we r even breathing right now.. and live our all for Him..

Agape..

of drivers..

hi all.. 1st of all, i want to give all credit to Joel and his God given wisdom and knowledge.. cause if he didn't help me diagnose my com prob, i won't be able to on my com let alone go online..

here is a story of 2 drivers.. and why i am freaked out by drivers..

1st thing.. I hear nowadays bus drivers are super reckless on the road.. just recently there were a lot of bus accidents on the karak highway... the highway which i use to go back to KL.. so i am a bit fearful... but yeah... still the probability won't be that high i guess...

2nd driver.. its my com's driver.. lolx... i had a driver crash that caused multiple BSOD appearances... BSOD is blue screen of death at which ure com freezes and hangs then restarts for no reason.. at least on the surface it doesn't show what causes it to crash... I asked around and people were telling me its the RAM la.. the HDD la.. all those.. but at night Joel helped me access the error report and it was just an outdated wifi driver causing it... lol.. so minor.. yeah.. but no crashes now..=D praise God..

well....this is english.. identical words with diff meaning..

today i and a bunch of friends we played basketball beside my hostel... and man.. it was the funniest of all basketball sessions i've ever had.. their actions while playing la.. in fact it was as if they were touching a basketball for the 1st time lol.. just to get the ball they were falling over each other etc etc... i had a stitch in my side after all that.. haha.. they are fun man.. seriously..

yeah.. well.. and student elections took place today.. and guess what.. for my stream which is physical science stream, we had 11 nominees... which out of that 11, 2 were Chinese.. the rest Malay... we had to choose 9 delegates from that bunch.. and guess what... the 2 chinese din make it.. though it was a fair and democratic election.. i just couldn't help feeling a sense of dissatisfaction..

anyways.. yeah thats all for now.. =) see u guys soon again here...=D

agape..

One month down!

back again after being MIA for the past 5 days plus.. haha.. 1 month anniversary since i've been here...=D so fast...

Ok... well.. i don't have to explain myself do i.. haha.. when i don't blog means i am busy or something..you guys know it.. its not like i patah semangat or like run out of steam.. nono.. at least not yet..

haih.. election fever sweeps my college.. thank God i am not caught in it... just not my thing.. by blogging now, i am missing the meeting session with the nominees and students... lol... i have in mind who i want to vote for adi.. so their manifestos won't make a difference anyway..

haih... fuel hike.. i don't get it.. the government promised no hike till august.. and.. haih.. nvm.. i guess it is inevitable anyway..

HAIH... sore throat somemore in coll..not fun.. i guess its my diet and also my late nights... i sleep an average of 5 hrs a day nowadays and just today i had a chance to take a nap after lectures.. lol..

After so many sighs, i still have lots to be thankful for.. I realized i have a lot of work to do here in my friend's lives.. so many opportunities.. in fact some of the non-christians here are starting to go to church with my lecturers..which is good.. but i just fear cause my lecturer's church is a bit too "ancient" for young people.. so i have to convince them that church is actually fun and not boring at all..and a Christian life is very fulfilling... besides that.. so many seeds to plant in such a short period of time.. haha.. well time to get my hands dirty..to do some planting...=)

Something out of the topic a bit.. just a small thought.. Why did God put as here on earth if He knew that we were destined for a certain eternity? either with Him or not..

Well... we were not oni created to fulfill a certain purpose on earth.. to carry out our roles for Him.. to fulfill the Great Comission... no.. there is more beyond that.... a greater purpose.. that is for us to be able to know Christ. To form a relationship with Him..To know Him better.. Thus we can be prepared for eternity.. We were all given a choice.. We could have all easily be destined for heaven.. but God gave us the chance to make our stand.. To bond a relationship with Him, to fellowship with Him..

Our remaining here on earth is for eternal benefit.. remember that.. =)

Agape...

stress and boredom symptoms

well well... its been coming to a month already since i have been here. and some of my frens are starting to act weird. =S i think due to the hectic schedules and all. yeah.. haha. watch if ure frens do these things... haha

1. screams/shouts out of no apparent reason

2. walks aimlessly around the room for 15 mins.. =0 really.

3. takes up pillow and whacks roommate for no reason ( haha.. this is me =P )

4. mumbles to him/herself when doing/not doing assignments. this one more to bio students... haha... i think they are memorizing.. lol.. at least la

well.. so far i can only see 4.. haha..

and boredom symptoms... i have tried it with my frens and i am not proud to say those are the most stupid"est" things i have ever done.. haha

1. chatting on msn messenger with the friend right next to u

2. recording play-pause-play videos... this i will explain.. for example its like when u are walking through the door, u record a play-pause-play video, u will seem like u have walked through the door without opening it in the video. get what i mean?

3. walk around campus aimlessly enjoying ice creams after a long day.. haha

yeah... so far thats what we managed to do to kill time.. and i am sure due to the creativeness of the people here, more will come.. lol..

well... for this weekend, 50% of all campus people have gone home.. argh.. the envy. but it was my decision. though my KL friends asked me to follow them home.. yeah.. and campus elections are coming up.. haha.. real elections to choose the Student Council's delegates.. oh well student politics don't really interest me though.

I wish i had reappealed for the JPA scholarships.. cause many of my new friends here they are leaving cause they had got the offer through their 2nd appeal to places like America, Canada, Ireland, Aussie.... haih.. to be honest i really AM jealous of them.. but to know that i didn't get the scholarship reaffirms that God wants me here.. and no where else.. i didn't get to do a 2nd appeal becoz of my hectic orientation week here...most of my friend's parents did help them reappeal.. i did not ask my parents to do so.. well.. it was God's will i didn't get the scholarship and His will that i didn't get to reappeal so yeah.. it saved me a lot of headache from having to choose from this and the JPA scholarship...

yep.. thats about all. in closing just do His will as u can never run away from it no mater what.. and stand strong for He will never forsake u.. Psalm 9:10..

Agape..

Amazed..

haha.. finally i am back! lots of things to do + slow bandwidth = no blogging..=( well.. my lecturer funny la today.. we were drawing graphs... and he came and looked at mine.. my graph was practically perfect..all the points were intact with the line.. and he said this, " eh? don't draw so accurate la.. we must find uncertainty (for pre-u and u students.. u know what i am talking about).. so erase ure graph and draw one that does not pass through all the points.. "in other words he was telling me to do it wrong on purpose as the question requires us to find uncertainty of gradient =P.. lol... he, my friends and myself had a good laugh.. man.. when was the last time i had that..

Disclaimer : please don't purposely draw your graphs wrongly.. look at the question requirement. ....=P.. On a normal basis, one must obtain an accurate graph..

i had a few quizzes throughout the week.. chem quiz, maths quiz etc etc.. the lecturers just gave them out. we were not informed.. and the worst thing is. the marks count to our final semester test =S.. well at least only 10%.. still not too bad.. but praise God i pulled through fine.. =)

well i will end my post with a song by Desperation band.. titled Amazed. This song has touched my heart when i 1st heard it just b4 i left for Pahang.. and still serves as a reminder in my life today..

You dance over me
While I am unaware
You sing all around
But I never hear the sound

Lord I’m amazed by You
Lord I’m amazed by You
Lord I’m amazed by You
How You love me

How wide
How deep
How great
Is Your love for me

simple song.. but great meaning... are u amazed by God's love today..

Agape..

wait up...

its 1.25am and i just finished my work.. seriously.. lots of them... i have been like sleeping so late and forcing myself to wake up early in the morning for lectures. well.. this is gonna be a trend. a norm. might as well just get used to it.

well.. i was walking with some frens today around the campus and they were unusually fast. i was literally dragging my feet, dreading the long 15 min walk back to my hostel. For countless number of times, i told them to wait up. wait up. wait up. in fact i was like a burden to them.. at least i felt so.

In the same way, this scenario reminded me on how sometimes God asks us to wait up.

Psalm 27:14 -- wait on the Lord...

At times I admit i have ran ahead of my own life, tried to take over, lost control and failed. Sometimes I wonder.. Y must we take God along. it seems so much of a burden. It will be so much easier if I just did it my way. Well, the verse says it all. Wait.

Sometimes we feel desperate, stuck in situations. Just wait upon the Lord and pray. Remember that there was a period of silence between Malachi and Matthew. For 400 years God kept silent. But behind the scenes He was preparing the way for the Messiah. When God is silent, it does not mean He has left u.. He is just preparing something great for u.. ready to release it to u when the time is ripe. Do not fail to hope and be patient. Continue to trust the Lord for guidance and strength as u wait upon Him..

In all let His will be done for His ways are greater than ours..

Thats all... gotta go do my quiet time and tuck in..

Agape..

its june!

yeah here it is... new month.. so fast huh..

i am starting to get "jelat" of chem.. need ta take 5.. so here i am ! haihx. classes tomo.. again.. yeah..monday blues..

well... i finally went to church for the 1st time here.. my christian lecturers took me... i was kinda in a culture shock due to a few reasons.

1. They sang hymns. real old ones. and they read through b4 singin.. and someone random just picked up a guitar and strummed a tune. nobody cared if it was out or anything. and 70% there were young people.
2. They had only like 15-20 ppl in that gathering and it was in a house, a small room.
3. When they prayed they sounded like chanting with their tilting voice. and every sentence was followed by a loud unison of Amen... yes.. every sentence.
4. They referred to each other as brothers and sisters. even the so called pastor.(they don have pastors)
5. They don't believe in naming their church. so they just called it "church of Kuantan"... in fact i found out that there are a few thousand of these churches around Malaysia.

yeah. this were some of the reasons among some others.. but the message was ok. i liked the fact that we were given a chance to share what we have learnt from the message.

yep u guessed it. i think that this is a brethren church. I asked pastor steven and he told me that they called this kind of churches the "local churches" yeah. a new experience though. but i think for next week i will be going to the church that was recommended to me by our pastors in KL. yeah. see how things go.

well i am not here to be a critic. i am just plainly sharing my experiences. what they are doing is not wrong. they are still based on the word of God and functioning as a body of Christ. Its just the way they view things and do them which i am not accustomed to...yet.. an eye opener. really.

yep. its getting late. and i got to finish up my work still. yeah. no thoughts for today. to tired to rig up one. yeah. so goodnite all, take care and God bless.

Agape..
