His Plan!

First and foremost, give thanks to the one and only God for everything that He has given me.
For the past one year, things hadn't been easy due to some emotional problems, which sometimes only God and I myself knows when tears are shed in the middle of the night.
But through this, I experienced that when God says NO, certainly, He has reserved something BEST for us. Not "good" or "better", but BEST.
Most of the times, our eyes might be blinded with our own will and desire, resulting in disappointment and frustration and even depression, when things don't go as how we want them to be.
However, the moment we surrender ourselves again to our Abba Father, things just changed. It just feel so relieved and peaceful. And as we follow God's will in our life, there shall be showers of blessing.

You may say, why does God put us through all these circumstances which hurts us so much? So much that even our heart aches whenever the memory just came across our mind. I have experienced it, and it certainly makes me stronger each time. And when God says NO, we may be upset and frustrated. "Y U NO LISTEN TO ME???" You may say. Bear in mind, He has reserved something BEST for us. The frustration and sadness is just temporary, when we turn back to God, the happiness is indescribable. And when we look back, seeing the whole picture, the times of frustration and sadness are just shadings that make the picture more lively.

Father, forgive us for our disobedience, forgive us for being so stubborn, forgive us for not following Your will. You know we are weak, we fall down. But you never abandon us, You are always right beside us, waiting for us to call for You. Teach us obedience, at times we might rebel, have mercy on us. May your Holy Spirit speak to us, lead us not away from your path. Lord, give us patience, when You want us to wait. Forgive us for our impatience. Father we just want to thank You, for the blessings and love that you have given to us. Thank You!
In Jesus' name, AMEN!

"And not only so, but let us have joy in our troubles: in the knowledge that trouble gives us the power of waiting. And waiting gives experience; and experience, hope: and hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us." Romans 5:4-5

1st 2012 post... No inspiration of what to write recently... Gimme some? xD
1st MUET class with Mdm Maria
1st essay in 2012
and this is what I got... LOL
Just wanna share... I'm not bragging =_='''

"I enjoy reading you writing..."
HAHA that put me on cloud nine.. wooooo... LOL

回眸一望...

Written this in order to pass CE advance... And for President's Badge... =__=|| delayed so long... Finally done... Phew! Thank God! Slow slow read, hehe... 华语不好...

            回眸一望, 2011年已接近尾声, 而2012 年已经是在眼前了. 时间真的好快, 很快, 非常快, 不信的话现在闭上眼睛. 当你张开眼睛的下一刻, 两三秒就这样在你不知觉时溜走了. 很快是不是? 都跟你说了. 今年, 在我活的十八年里, 可以说是最有趣的一年, 也是好多改变的一年, 也是我读完了新约圣经的一年. 过去一年, 很感恩因为上帝一直都很眷顾我. 主的恩典, 大大小小, 何等美好, 从头到脚, 实在是太多太多了. 若真的要数的话, 可以说就像在星空上的星星那样多. 有那样夸张吗? 有! 就是这么多! 多到有时候都以为这一切都是理所当然的, 就像英文的一个词: “taken for granted”. 求上帝赦免我的软弱.

            好! 现在要开始我的故事咯. 我是怎么样把新约圣经读完的啊? 或许对有些人来说, 新约圣经, 这么少, 一个星期就读完咯. 可是, 对于去年的我, 读完这27本书卷, 就像要我把一盘的苦瓜吃下去一样. 那时候, 我对阅读一点兴趣都没有. 一翻开书, 眼皮立刻重了许多. 十分钟内一定睡着, 除非隔天是考试啦. 叫我看漫画? 蜡笔小新的话一定没问题! 新约圣经-- 啊, 很难嘢... 可是我又有什么办法呢? 为了获得男少年军的高级基督教育奖章, 我只好拼了! 于是, 在没有任何选择的情况下, 我告诉自己, 在还没睡前的每一个夜晚, 一定要读完一章! 一天一章, 我就不相信明年读不完! 读就读吧! 反正闷, 也应该不会闷死吧? 呵呵… 我那时候的心情就是这样.

            就在这误打误撞的情况下, 就开始了新约圣经之旅. 不应该说是误打误撞, 这一切都是上帝在动工! 起初, 还真的不适应. 虽然只是一章, 但有时候读着读着, 不知不觉却睡着了. 那时候我是用着我手机的迷你英文圣经, 再加上我读的时候是仰卧着的, 不睡着也很难啊. 但是上帝就是那么的奇妙, 不久习惯了, 不管多累, 还是硬着头皮把一章读完. 老实说, 我也是为了读而读, 至少我交差时我可以问心无愧地说: “我读完了!” 再加上, 我手机的英文圣经用的是比较经典的英语, 所以很多时候, 是它认识我, 我不认识它. 我有一本华语圣经, 但是在睡觉前嘞… 谁那么勤劳啊?

            我听说过: “当一个人寻求上帝的时候, 种种困难就在前头等着他.” 这一点也没错, 毕竟这是一场属灵的战争. 从我读新约圣经的起头就看得出来, 打瞌睡、 随便读读、 心不在焉, 这一切都是撒旦在对我说的悄悄话: “不要读啦、睡觉吧、你很累了、读这么多干什么、没用的、明天再读吧…” 等等拦阻我的借口. 感谢上帝, 久而久之, 我对经典英文的认识也比较多了, 毕竟每天都在读吗, 所以理解能力没那么差了, 就慢慢上手了. 因此, 就越读越有兴趣, 就这样成了习惯. 饥渴慕义的人有福了, 因为他们必得饱足. (马太福音 5:6) 是的, 这是上帝的应许, 只要我们寻求祂的义, 祂必给我们. “你們祈求，就給你們；尋找，就尋見；叩門，就給你們開門。”(马太福音 7:7) 虽然起初可能会受到种种的拦阻, 可是这是必经的, 靠主胜过这一些困难时, 我们的对祂信心就会成长.

            经过这新约圣经之旅, 我觉得我得着最多的就是养成了读圣经的好习惯. 因为在起初被逼之下, 现在我一直都在继续读着旧约圣经, 虽然高级基督教育奖章的条件只是要求读完新约圣经. 上帝就是这么的奇妙. 就这样我对圣经产生了兴趣, 所以今年一直都在寻求, 寻求更多. 也在朋友的邀请下, 也参加了青中学园团契, 还误打误撞地当上了副主席, 一个什么都不懂、笨手笨脚的副主席. 当然, 我相信上帝有祂的旨意. 今年, 真是蒙福又蒙恩的一年啊! 我相信, 明年也会一样很棒! 所以, 少年人, 有时候被逼着做某些事情, 并不是一件坏事. 当然, 我不是说去银行抢劫、街头打抢. 有时候, 苦瓜吃久了, 你会发现苦瓜并没那么苦, 而且还对身体有益呢!

所以, 还在犹豫的少年们, 别想了, 就从今天开始, 打开你布满灰尘(敢说不是? 呵呵)的圣经, 开始你与上帝独一无二的圣经之旅吧! 记得! 饥渴慕义的人有福了, 因为他们必得饱足. 这不是我说的, 是上帝答应的!

P.S. 老实说, 这篇文章也是在被逼写的. 因为, 如果没写分享, 我就拿不到奖章.(嗨……真可怜啊对不对?) 可是! 换个角度来想一想, 如果我没有被逼的话, 那么你们岂不就看不到这篇文章吗? 原来, 一千个字的分享, 就只有这么多. 哈哈! 感谢上帝一直的带领和看顾, 感谢祂派了这么多贵人在我身边, 在我最忧伤时祂依然不离不弃. =]

First Step

I told my mum, "I want to go to church tomorrow morning."
My mum replied, "Huh? I thought last Sunday you went with BB?"

This time, there is a difference. I added, "I want to go. It's on my own will."
Finished that sentence, I shifted my sight to the flashing television, waiting for questions from my mum.
Surprisingly, she didn't ask any further. Thank God! I guess she knew that I want to be a Christian. In fact, I'm already a Christian because I have accepted Christ as my life saviour and handed my life to Him.

Hmm... Before telling her that, I've made the decision while driving home from church after BB parade. No matter what, I must take the first step. I know that it is very important, if I were to remain silent, nothing will be done. I prayed that my mum will let me go tomorrow, and God answered my prayer without fail! Hallelujah!

God please strengthen me, I know that through man nothing can be done, but through You, nothing can't be done. Help me, that I will stand still, for You and not only for this Sunday. Give me courage, that I will say the same thing for next Sunday, and for the Sundays ahead. Thank you Lord, in Jesus' glorious name I pray. Amen!

Blessed Week...

A week of exam had stretched me to the maximum mentally and physically, tense and fatigue is all what I have for the pass 5 days. So what I did straight after home every day was checking on what's going on in Facebook (release tension haha) and take a 1 or 2-hour nap to reward myself haha.
Thank God for being with me all the time, I would have broken down if I were all alone...
And thanks JD for her Good LuckssSssssSS!... haha lol

Hmmm... Toughest subject? Chemistry? Easiest? Maths T? lol
No matter how the result is, it is done! Ahah!
Joy has kicked away all the tiredness from my body the moment teacher said, "time's up!" for the physics paper... Ohoho... It had been so long since the last time I sat for exam, around 9 months? lol
After the last paper today, I went to Francis' home and wait for the time to pass by. Had fun with "World Of Goo" haha! A superb game indeed! Without realising, it's time to go back to school for ISCF gathering. Ha!
We prayed, for the club, for our depressed and troubled members and others. God bless you all!
An ex-student of GRSS joined us shortly after we started our gathering. He is now a teacher, involving in student recruitment for Taiwan universities. He shared some of the infos with Grace after the gathering. I stood there and listened too. Kepo kepo haha...

The offer really attracted my attention, cheap fee, attractive scholarship offer and most important thing, NO CONTRACT BOND. Whoa... But still, living expenses have to be born by the students. I also just knew that 人间茶坊 Life Cafe's owners are actually fresh graduates from Taiwan universities... And according to him, some of our veteran church leaders are graduates from Taiwan universities too... lol Hmm... Really attractive but... My heart is here... Ahhh... I still got some time... God will show me His way... ><

Something is still playing in my mind recently... Confusion of what should be done... Wait, or don't wait... AHHHHHHHH... How I wish I know what to do...

Still! Give thanks to God for everything! xD

God Places Them In My Life To Show How Great He Is!

Spent my holiday as Admin Coordinator in NTS (NCO Training School) 2011 Kuching.(Admin Coordinator sounds so high class uh? ROFLOL) Had fun, saw many things in different perspectives, including the creativity, courage and even cuteness of a group of teenagers haha! Other than preparing things needed in classes, my team and I could just relax and cracking jokes with the coaches. HAHA!
And I would like to highlight the conversation between me and Albert, which was 1 of my team member. Here is how it sounds:

我: 为什么你选择读 Law 呢?
Albert: 我要改变世界!
我: *嘴巴开大大, 震撼万分地看着他*
Albert: 其实我是想借着当律师进入政治, 了解世界上的法律. 这样才能看能做出什么样的改变.
我: *真的不知道说什么, 深深地被他的话震撼!*
Albert: 哈哈! 那你想读什么呢?
我: 还不知道嘞...
Albert: 那跟我一起读 Law 啊!
我: 我没兴趣耶...
Albert: 不用什么兴趣的啦, 我也是对 Law 没有兴趣啊...
我: *英语说得好 "TOTALLY STUNNED!"*

WHOA!!! I really didn't know what to say! But I could foresee in future, there would be something like YB Albert fighting for people's right and justice, glorifying the name of God! What I could see in Albert is, God has His really great plan for his life! May God guide him in his path towards the changing of the world. This makes me very excited and wanted to be like him, doing everything for God. I know that God will place me somewhere in my career, serving Him.

Haha! The day after NTS ended, I went to another camp, which was the ISCF committee training camp. Had fun too! And met an English girl living in the same house with us, he name is Naomi. Haha! Borrow some words from Kelvin, "FROM ENGLAND LEH!!!" lol
Hmm... The particular person that I would like to mention here is Miss Yong, our ISCF advisor. Although the camp only lasted for two days, but the way she served really touched me. She had been the teacher for the club for 19 years, yet she is still serving diligently. During the camp, she prepared awesome breakfast and dinner for us. Wow, glad that I'm a member of ISCF GRSS xD Haha!
On the last day of the camp when we were going to take our lunch, she scooped the food for everyone. I tried to take over, but she resisted. Here is another dialogue:

我: 怎么好意思让老师盛给我们呢...
Miss Yong: 老师都没有不好意思, 你们就别不好意思了啦!

This reminded me of how Jesus served his disciple, how Jesus washed his disciples' feet.
=] Thanks a lot! May God bless you abundantly! Although next year you will be retiring, but I know God will have something great for you! xD

Thanks Albert! Thanks Miss Yong! Thank you Almighty Heavenly Father!

Another Totally Crazy Epic Night With Some Totally Crazy Epic Friends! HAHA

Yesterday night was another great night! xD
Hung out with JD, Ah Leong, Matthew, Angelina and Mark at Basaga(too bad Pyong can't join us). For those who are wondering where it is, here is the map. A nice place to hang out with friends and family, but don't go so frequently, unless your pocket is bottomless.


View Larger Map

 The LOL moment starts when me and JD were on the way to Basaga... ROFLOL!!! Although I had been to the actual place once, you know, I'm a Luchi. (google translate 路痴 from chinese to english then you know why I wrote this =_=)
So, I googled and printed the map to the destination, still we were lost... LOL!!!
We were turning circle around the Central Timur road. We tried alternative route, ended up returning to the same place again. Then...
JD: Ok, let's go home!
LOL!!! Nearly gave up, but we gave it a shot again after calling Mark. ROFLOL
Finally, after being late for 1 hour, we reached the restaurant. Thank God we reached in one piece LOL! What a fine dining place! xD


Matthew, Mark and Angelina was sitting there. LOL!!! Preparing to shoot the latecomers. Haha! And not long after we reached, Leong reached too aha! At least we were not the latest one! So we settled down and ordered some food. What a joke, got lost for 1 hour LOL!


Yeah, we chit chat joke talk. The atmosphere was really different with Mark and Matthew... haha! Two funny guys! xD

Highlights:
Leong: A girl asked his father, "Can I kick the durian?" Then the father replied, "Kick la!" Then she really kicked, and hurt her toes.
JD: NGAITI!
Matthew: Why do you say it out?
I guess Leong still catch no ball... Hahaha!


Talking about food, Leong, Matt and me ordered chicken chop (吃鸡 according to forget-who-it-was =_=) while the girls and Mark ordered Fish n' Chips.

Mouth-watering!
The food was just nice, just that the chicken chop was a bit charred. The rest was okay. xD
The surrounding was nice. Dimly lit with candle light, sound of  flowing water. Everything is just great! Oh... Not forgetting about the lizard! LOL! Ahaha! Indeed epic xD


Indeed a night filled with endless laughters! Thanks guys for making it!

Yes I will continue walking on!

Whoa, it has been long time since the last time I wrote my own post.
Had been down for these few days. Ahah! Why? Some personal problems had been playing in my mind all day, taking things too hard. You know haha... Okay maybe you don't... LOL nvm

Well today when I was going to take a shower, a voice is telling me, "Go on! God wants to make miracles for you!" For that very moment, I felt so motivated and touched! And my mood turns one hundred and eighty degree. Overwhelmed with joy and hope, I prayed... Thank you Lord. =)

Lots of time we have been depending on ourselves to do everything, and leaving our Heavenly Father behind. As time passes by, we feel weary and worn out, because what we have done has never been enough. And we will rant and blame anything on our way, why is it so unfair?! Why is this happening to me?! With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. (Matthew 19:26)

Turn and look back, our Father has been waiting for you to call upon Him and return to Him. His hands have reached out for you before you know it. When you feel helpless, take a rest, and ponder, "what have I done? What have I really done? What have I really done for?" And you will be surprised that the answers will be exactly the same as how the questions sound.

So brothers and sisters! Feeling weary? Worn out? Disappointed? Hopeless? Depressed? Forsaken?
Call upon his name. For nothing is impossible with God. (Luke 1:37)
He wants to make miracles happen for you! Continue walking by faith and not by sight! (2 Corinthians 5:7)
Nothing is too hard for God, He knows what is the best for us and has His great plans in everyone of us. (Jeremiah 29:11)

God bless you all and have a nice day!

When He says NO ,

He certainly has something best for you!

Through Him nothing can't be done!
