How much He loves u.......no matter what happens.

Take a look at this video. Watch it with an open heart to learn something.



The guy was Jesus. The girl represents us. Life, as many troubles as it seems to have, no matter what happens to us, no matter what we do, He still loves us.

We are blocked from seeing Jesus, mostly by ourselves and things of the world. Yet He is hard pressing to reach you in almost every way.

It just takes your heart and your decision. When u are fed up of life, Jesus was never fed up with you.

He has just been waiting patiently all this while.

About man who gave his life away for me
Complicated yet it seems so clear
If I open up my heart, it be so near to me

What YOU need to know.

I was recently hit by many of these questions : How do i pray to God?

well for those who DONT know this is a good place for a start.

To tell you the truth, there is no where on earth that says ONLY Christians can pray to God.

The fact is : God was not made for Christians, God made all of us for HIM! This is the truth.

So it is rightful that everyone can pray to Him

Prayer to God does not need ANYTHING accept u come to Him and sit down before Him and tell Him your hearts content. Prayer is not a religious thing. It is a personal communication between you and God alone. It is meant to be secret, intimate, sweet and a wonderful thing. Its more wonderful than talking to your gf/bf or ur fav idol.

U dont necessarily need to kneel down (but u can if u want), offer God food or gifts (He wont want them), or say long soothing sweet words (its more of an insult than being sincere).

What God wants when u pray is just YOU alone and your hearts content.

If u feel angry at God, tell Him ur angry at Him. If u want to cry before Him, do so. If u want to protest against God, be His guest. God wants ALL of your hearts sincere contents. The more u share with Him the more closer u get to Him. Much like friends that share everything between each other, so can u with God. Heres a bonus : God does not reveal ur secrets if u tell Him!

Many also ask who to pray to? God, Jesus, Holy Spirit? Anyone will do. Why? They are from the same origin of God. God has a spirit and His Holy Spirit is also the same as Him, but the Holy Spirit is our helper. Jesus is also God but He came to earth as a man to die for all our sins. Therefore Jesus was God on earth who died for YOU. God died for YOU!

So why not start a conversation with God today? He has been waiting all YOUR life for you to open your mouth to talk to Him.

-God Bless-

Its about Him.

Why Him again? LOL. Simple.

Ask yourself this question : What is my purpose on earth?

Can u give YOURSELF the answer? Can you be definitely sure that what you think your purpose is IS what it is?

You cant. You can never be sure what your purpose is even you think deeply within ur own mind. How come? Simple.

YOU did not create YOURSELF, therefore you dont know your purpose.

An inventor creates or invents something with a purpose. So we did not create ourselves how can we know our real purpose? Im not talking about eat sleep and multiply. Im talking big here.

We always look at ourselves. Self focus self centered. My ambition, my career, my dreams. Its nothing wrong. But that is not the center or purpose of your life. U may succeed and have fulfilled your goals and dreams but if you missed your purpose in life, it isnt much of a purposeful life either. You will still feel something empty.

Which brings me back to Him, God the Creator. He created you and me therefore He knows our purpose. So how do we know our purpose? ASK GOD! God made you for a purpose , NOT God was made for your purpose!

The very source of your life was from Him in the beginning.

Still wondering why Him?

Until you know His purpose for your life and tat you were made by Him and for Him, life will always seem meaningless and pointless to you. Until you fully understand this, you will be always wandering in the dessert alone thirsty and lost. Until you stop assuming and believing by your own view of life and rather look at Gods plans realizing the more important TRUTH that God is everything you need, you will not have a purposeful life.

Life lived purposefully is more meaningful.

Think about it. What is your purpose.

Life without God is meaningless.

If you were once in the dark about your purpose life, now is the best time to walk into the light.

Bye Bye Sora

In Japanese the word sora means to fly away or fly high or something like tat it seems. And no better description for my bike parts which are about to fly (literally) across the ocean to its new owner in Labuan.

I sold my bike's Shimano groupset to a nice gentleman. Im upgrading. Haha. but still looking for my parts. So before i can buy anything, i better get some cash in hand first.

Anyway for u ordinary folks out there who dont knw wats a groupset look like, heres a short education on it with pic.


Clockwise from top left :

1. Right hand brake lever/STI Shifter
2. Left hand brake/STI Shifter
3. Rear brake calipers
4. Front brake calipers
5. Cranks - chain ring arm
6. Crank left arm
7. Rear deraileur
8. Cassette
9. Front deraileur

No 1 & 2 are the brakes n shifters incorporated into one unit. This was pioneered by Shimano and made it popular coz shifting n braking can be done with out moving ur arms. Just push the levers inwards and u will shift. Pull it backwards and u brake.

No 3 & 4 the brake calipers. NO explanation what they do here. They just BRAKE!

N0 5 is the crank chainring. Its called so coz it a big ring and the chain goes around it. DUH! Road bikes use a typical 52 teeth for the big ring and 39 for the smaller rings. And typical setup is just 2 rings to save weight. There are 3 rings if u wana do hills, but we rather stick to 2 and train our legs. We road bikes want light bikes n parts. ^^

No 6 is the opposite crank arm for the left side of the bike.

No 7 is the deraileur. Many ppl mistake by calling it gears. It the component tat shifts your chain up and down the cassette or chain ring. This is the rear one so it shifts for the cassette.

No 8 is the cassette or some refer as sprockets. This also is wrongly addressed as gears. Todays modern and new designs have a 10 speed rear cassette. Which means u have 10 gears to select behind. That is alot. My old set uses 8 only. So what difference does it make? Alot in terms of gear choice and gear ratio. So between these 8/9/10 speed cassettes, the teeth count is between 11T - 25T. Mine uses 11T - 23T.

No 9 is the front deraileur to shift the chain on the chain rings.

This is a racing bike groupset and its the lowest model of the Shimano tree. U cannot put this on a mountain bike. Retails around RM600-RM800. The highest end (Dura Ace) will set u back RM3900. Why so expensive? Simple. Pay for technology and material.

So this whole bunch of parts will go to its new owner soon. Will courier it to him. And now i will wait for my 9 speed groupset *patiently*. hope it comes fast coz i cant ride now. Haha.

God Bless me wit a new groupset! Amen.

I will miss u. Thank you for everything!

I went riding today. The weather looked fine. After 4pm class i just had the urge to ride. Kaki suda manyak gatal. hahaha. so i got home suited up and rode out at 4.30. reason so early is to avoid traffic jams. i dun worry much abt the sun, i worry more abt traffic.

So as i got out suddenly it started to drizzle and yet the sun was out. I didnt care. Just rode. Manage to escape it in the end.

Today i wanted to try the route to genting sempah (25km one way) to see how nice the roads are. After some time spent on Google Earth to find out the route i finally got my bearings. Google earth seriously has helped me alot on KL travel. Haha

Exiting danau kota then i was on a short highway b4 i reach some modern kampung roads. was a really nice place as i rode along. my target was to ride 15km one way then 15 back. And after i rode further n further i was almost in the middle of the forest. This route goes tru a windy narrow path to genting sempah, genting highlands and also bentong, pahang (abt 45km away). But i just cycled as far as i can b4 u-turn home. And then......it just had to drizzle. from km10 onwards i was greeted with water drops.

Not to mention the small incline reduced my speed to 20 kmh.

On another note, this is the first ride i do with my new Mavic wheels in full riding use. Its a really nice wheelset to ride. I feel the lightness now. Steering is quicker and response is faster. Everytime i get up n sprint the wheels just goes along and obeys all my directions. Its a really fun wheelset to ride on.

So now i was doing 20kmh for abt 5 more km. so my meter stopped at 15 and i decided to u turn back since i saw some grey clouds. the drizzle got a little heavier. So i made the shallow decent. I didnt pedal, just freewheel for the next 3km, whis is amazing. haha. Along the twisty roads with a few hairpins. Then along the way i saw another rider alone. Greeted him and continued our separate ways. his bike was cool though. I tink it was a cervelo. Lol

Anyways, as i reach flat road, i saw infront of me a monster cloud. it was big black and ugly. i was sure i will have to endure the rain later. But i tried to beat it. So i pounded the pedals as hard as i can. Did 37kmh at certain places. pushed real hard. then suddenly i get a mixture of crosswinds and headwinds from the storm clouds. If u wanna knw wat tat feels like. U ride at 37kmh then have some one push ur wheels side to side and push u backwards. its not tat scary, just challenging to get ur wheels to go straight.

AS as i reach the outskirts of the kampung to the town area of Gombak, the rain fell. And i was riding into a monster. Slowly things got more wet. me the bike the road. now my mind was to get home as safe as i can. I continued riding in the heavy rain while other motorcyclist took refuge under the bus stops. they might think i am crazy. but well, i still continued.

now one thing riding in the rain NOT usinfg those cool shades is water gets into your eyes. And i dreaded for almost 30minits. water plus sweat plus hair gel in my eyes and i had to watch the road. Had to constantly wipe my eyes pedaling at 24kmh in the rain.

had to make my self noticable to traffic. So i took alot of road. its better to let drivers see u then to suddenly find u. at one point i had to avoid the bussed taking and letting go passengers.

So finally i reached danau kota again, and the rain lightened. I pedaled slowly home after tat , drenched but wit a nice experience anyway. haha. memories.

another day another ride.

So whats the thanks and missing all about?

Well, i sold off my old wheelset to a nice guy. gave him offer RM100 for my pair of wheels. Those wheels served me for 3 yrs n 3300km. went tru almost all with me. Gona miss tat set. Hand sprayed some more. The graphics tat i made myself. hehe. Hope to see it on its new owners bike. Take care my wheelsets. till we ride again.
