Today was a huge day for WHC in terms of the "size" of the event. Non other than Pastor Jason Wong and Pastor Jadeline Lee's wedding day.
Past few days were really sleepless and tiring for many of those involve in just making sure the wedding runs smoothly, including myself. You could say i held one of the most responsible tasks : Song playback. Well if i screwed up the march in song i would have killed the atmosphere.
Anyway the wedding was nothing short of beautiful. From the time Jade walked into the hall for the wedding ceremony (to huge applause) till the final tea ceremony, everything was just wonderful. Yes few things not perfect but its not a major deal. We made it happen. The message by Pastor Lim (Jason's uncle) was inspiring. Basically was about a testimony involving John 3:16 from the bible. The most famous verse in the Bible. =) He even candidly said that now the Triple J relationship is in motion - Jason Jadeline Jesus. J3. Lol.
Jason looked stunning in his 2 piece white suit which goes excellent with his type of character. Jade's simple yet elegant wedding dress complements her wonderfully. To me they both hold a special place in my heart. I was once Jadeline's cell member and section member. Now im Jason's cell and section member. It has been a blessing indeed to be under their guidance and care and to share lots of fun stuff with them over the years I've been in WHC (3 years).
Photo takings a plenty by our very own WHC photography gang , Dawson Chrysler and Wei Jie. It was also a time where i caught up with some old-havent-seen-in-a-long-time faces, especially Isaac Lee. Its been like a year almost since i last saw him before leaving for his job training stint in Tioman. I was so happy to see him. Yes a little chubby but still the same Isaac ive grown to love and respect. Miss this guy who used to be my cell leader. Great fellowship always with him. Happy to see faces like Gary, Satesh, Thomas, Princeton, Lau who are my very own section members. They kinda went "missing" for some time.
Glad to see Canny Har there as well. Havent seen her in 1+ years as well. Only recently started Facebook-ing with her. Everyone basically looks faboulous today. Girls were elegant and guys were on their best. The relatives of the bride and groom were many as well. 60 odd i guess.
Oooo yes! Got to see Pastor Kenneth and Pastor Sharon with little Sofia too! Since they moved to Penang i havent seen them. They really have lost weight. But with God's providence they will get through. Ps Sharon even remembers she still wants to KickMyButt. Zzzz......but I love her still =)
Ps Dennis from Singapore who was speaker at last years WHC Church Camp came all the way here the nite before. With his family. Many pastors and people from outside came too just to see Jason and Jade.
Andrew Tan (yes the Malaysian Idol finalist, who is Jason's close friend since school) gave a really short lovely speech. Shared his experience when they were little and how they have grown together, both as pastors children and both as good friends serving God with all their hearts. Andrew even performed a song with Jason later to dedicate it to the new bride. And for the first time Jason had the jitters singing to just one person, not a whole congregation. XD , Cute.
Pastor David and Pastor Gloria (Jason's parents) were all smiles for the whole day......proud parents since their first son is now a grown man able to take responsibility and make the covenant of a married life.
The newly weds will head for a 5 day honeymoon to Phuket this week, so all the best of fun and romance to them.
The end of one chapter gives opportunity to start another. Their lives are now heading towards more special things and more new things.
My prayers for them is that God upholds their marriage in peace, love, faith and hope. Nothing seperates them for God has said nothing can separate what He has joined together. I pray for lots of wisdom, favour, understanding, opportunities, blessings and strength to be upon them. And may the light and love of God shine in them and through them to others as well. Amen.
Now...........we wait for......... Jason and Jadeline Jr's. ^^

Boy Girl Relationship - Is God in the picture too?
This was from the seminar in which Pastor Gloria Wong talked about regarding boy/girl relationships from her own experience and also the Word of God. Material is based from the outline and also the understanding in which she has give to all who attended. Before i proceed I would like to clarify that I am not trying to spiritualize this BGR topic but it is as with reference to God's very own Words. The things presented are very general as its too big a topic to talk about (let alone blog about). I will hereby blog from my personal understanding as i heard the preaching.
Alrite.....may i have a show of hands (if any), anyone single? Anyone married? Anyone in a relationship? Whoever raised their hands, this is all for you. =)
Firstly lets get this straight : MOST of us are single and available yes? And we sort of have this inner calling to get hitched one day. Meaning we need to find someone to fill that gap. But some others however choose to stay single. They dont seem to have that desire to find a life partner. As we go on we will see more details. So lets start with the very BASIC of questions first :
1. WHAT and WHOM to seek?
In 1 Corinthians 7:27 in the Bible, this part talks about "seeking". If u are married thats good. Then dont seek to get out of it. But if you are single, dont SEEK to find a wife. In this context "seek" meaning run after. We should not run after marriage OR run after to catch a girl like a lion would chase a zebra.
We have desires and feelings to find a life partner (gf, wife) and that is normal, healthy feelings for every human. BUT dont rush. At all costs. Why?
Turn to Adam in the Bible and u will read that he did NOT run after Eve. Eve came when he was sleeping (ea Relaxed). God provided Adam a helper and wife without Adam having to lift a finger.But does that mean we all go to sleep and not do anything? Waiting for God to just drop a wife on us? NO as well.
Proverbs 18:22 says those who can find a wife is a good thing and obtains favour from God.
But you see the word FIND here in context means not searching. Rather, it means DISCOVER along the path of your life. You dont focus so much on the searching and get all tired coz of one perfect girl/guy u trying to locate with your poorly built internal radar. But when u are walking along the path of life, along the way you will discover many potential people sometimes by the most surprising of ways. And better still, IF you were doing the things of God and you found someone along the way, thats great.
Single life is actually a special time when u can give your whole entire self and being without any distractions to God. Seriously. But that doesnt mean when u are hooked with someone you should pay less attention to God. No.
NOTE 1 : Before you ask God for someone to take care for, firstly take care of God Himself. Meaning love and serve Him. Loving God increases ones ability and capacity to love people, especially those closest to us. Also if you cannot learn to love God who created us, how are we going to love the people He also created?
NOTE 2 : Do not seek contentment in a love relationship. Get contented with God first. Give all your struggles (sexual, relational, emotional, feelings) to Him first and let Him check those things in His list. He will provide those u gave Him back to you in a right way.
NOTE 3 : Do not get into a relationship just because u feel lonely, u need someone who understands you, peer pressure, or pure desperation. Love relationships are not the key to inner contentment. Having the love of Jesus is. Why? Simply because no possible human can possibly satisfy all the needs of another soul. If you cannot attain contentment as a single individual, you will never reach in in a relationship and even in marriage.
Only God can fill the deepest longings of the human heart.
2. WHAT to DO while waiting?
i)Commit to personal growth
I find this very practical indeed. Since we are still waiting n got nothing better to do, why not try to make ourselves ready before others so that when the right one comes along, we are in the RIGHT zone to handle. And people who commit to personal growth will live by God's Word and seek a godly lifestyle. Who wouldnt want someone who is truly essentially good as a whole being? I can tell you this as much : MEN/GUYS should live a correct good Godly life if you really want to be ablle to attract the opposite sex. Vice versa as well. A good example would be ready to admit mistakes, be humble, be honest and truthful, willing to receive and give help, seeking God's help for change etc. These are just basic things men n women SHOULD have always.
ii)Develope healthy self-esteem
A person with low self-esteem gleans a sense of worth from people they are with. They want attention and often will resent or get jealous when their mate is interacting with another person. Therefore they try to get attention and love in order to feel secure and feel needed. But always they will feel insecure very easily. Eg : Girls, when ur BF talks to another girl. How would you feel?
On the other hand, a person with high self-esteem loves others because they are secure about themselves and can love and be loved very easily. This is when the person realized that it is God's love that is far more important than anything else. Simply because God IS Love and Life springs forth from those who genuinely loves.
iii) Develope positive attitudes on life
Your not going to grumble and rant , self pitty, regret about mistakes u've made in the past are you? Come on. Put the past behind. A good sense of humour is a good positive attitude. Not judging others and not being too critical. And dont hold others responsible for your own happiness as if they owe it to you! No one owes us love. But we always owe to love others as ourselves.
iv) Be mature, truthful and responsible
Let yourself be able to handle things with FULL responsibility. Taking care of yourself is a good way to learn how to be responsible for yourself. And maturity will follow suit. Maturity doesnt really come with age these days. You can be a 40yr old baby. However u can be a 20yr old man. Maturity comes with the ACCEPTANCE of responsibility. Which is why i will say this again, most young relationships (under 18yrs old) are NOT suitable to be continued simply because the amount of responsibilities are too much to bear at this stage in life. Anything can happen. It takes time.
Also ask yourself : Do I respect other's feelings? Do I do the right things that im supposed to do (eg study and work)? Do I avail and take responsibility rather than make lame excuses? Am I truthful?
Aspire to be someone whose actions match your words. Even if its a small action, matching it word for word makes people see that you are able to hold responsibility and be trustful. And it clears alot of misunderstanding. Also please put all your egos and pride aside. This is not the place nor the time to be someone you are not.
3. Good Dating Philosophy Ideas
i) Keep your motives in check
You have to be real honest and ask yourself these few questions : "Why do i want to date this guy/girl?", "Are my motives selfish or loving?", "Is it just coz im lonely and i want company?" , "I want to prove that i can go out with the best looking person?" , "I want a free meal and gifts always?". Ultimately please ask yourself , "WOULD GOD AGREE WITH THIS GOAL?"
Honestly if u seek for a perfect wonderful has-it-all-in-my-checklist girl/guy, do you think for one minute, that if you are not up to his/her standard, you really think he/she wana go out with you? Surely they will want to find an even better or same quality person. No? Its just not right to ask something like that. Be humble, and have a right mind.
ii)Dont date for the sake of dating!
Your purpose to date is not to impress or feel good. Dont feel pressurize to date and DONT pressurize others to date as well! Men, guys when you are alone with a girl eating together u may think its a normal meal kinda thing, but she MAY think otherwise! So be careful. Please let your intentions be known. If its just socializing and fellowship, do go in a group.
iii) Date those who have Jesus at the center of their lives
Well this may be most applicable to bros n sis in Christ. Simply coz in 2 Corinthians 6:14 it says do not be unequally burdened for what has lawlessness have to do with righteousness and what has light have to do with darkness. Now I am absolutely not putting any unbeliever down. But the central core of it is that it is quite impractical to have two people of two totally different beliefs to date each other (Let alone get married). I can testify that with my own family but not here and not now. Will you compromise God for the sake of a girls/guys heart? Has God ever compromised to love you? So beware when being romantically involved as there are possibilties of your walk with God cut shorter. You must be able to know, "Is this relationship helping me know and grow closer to God? Or otherwise?" , "Is it distracting me or encouraging me spiritually?"
iv) Give up your rights to sex n marriage
Yes you heard me, give them up. But to God of course. Let God take control of your sex life and marriage. Guys we are guys. We know what we go tru everyday. Im one of you, okay? No matter how hard we try, its very tiring. Giving it to God and let Him take the control puts our hearts and emotions at rest at least. Girls same as well. We give all our appetite to God and He will give us the fulfillment back in a good proper way.
The one reason why premaritial sex is so prevalent nowdays is because couples in a relationship dont submit to God. Dont get me wrong, sex is good and healthy and intended by God as a fullfillment between MARRIED couples. Only married couples should enjoy sex as it is the only feeling in the world that brings us intimately closer to our spouses. It is suppose to be special that no one else has it. Random free meaningless sex just takes away that privilege and spice of love.
v) Take your time to develope non romantic relationships
Like i said earlier, take your time to discover the many potential people around you. Dont rush and dont be worried that the one that u like may be robbed or taken away. If you rush to get/find that perfect person your going to be dissapointed.
If it has happened its ok. God will help u find a suitable one for you. He is afterall the Creator. Friendships should come first. Coz then u will see and discover the good and bad sides of a person in a less akward and more relaxed way. Be available to friendship but keep urself purely for your spouse ONLY. Guys and girls, its okay to have more friends of the opposite sex.
vi) Determine to please God in all your relationships
When u can please God with your relationships with others, automatically others will be pleased with you as well, plus blessings flow for all parties.
vii) Get your life straightened out as much as possible first
If you cant handle and iron out all those things which make u tumble and always emo in life, how would you expect to handle the even more unironed out things in a relationship. Out of the pan and into the fire. Seek God for healing and renewal and restoration from all past hurts and sins.
When u have managed to iron out as much of your life and be right with God and be right with yourself and others, you can be able to tackle most other things. Being prepared is important. Of course no one can be 100% ready for anything, but thats why God is best included in the picture to help. Dont be surprised there will be a line of girls lining up (or vice versa) when ones life is truly on the right track and according to God's guidance.
Finally,
4. SUGGESTED Dating progression
Step 1
Be honest to yourself if u have romantic feeligns or intentions. Dont hide from yourself and others by claiming to be "just friends".
Step 2
When u realize step 1, seek God FIRST! Submit all your feelings, love resume's, etc to Him and let Him check your homework. Do not wait till u two are tangled in the relationship and too involved to hear a clear NO from Him if He wants to speak to you that way. It is best to get a proper guidance from God's Word on relationships first.
Step 3
Always have Jesus at the centre of your life. He gave it all for us first. Stop being an emotional prostitute (Falling in love with everyone you date). Always keep emotions in check with God.
Step 4
Communicate or let someone higher than you know of your feelings and intentions. For Christians do consult your cell leaders, church elders, pastors etc for clarity and guidance. They will be glad to help and cover you in prayer. For others u may approach someone who is already married or in a good solid long term relationship. Christian relationships are often a good place to start coz chances are they followed most of what I said in this blog.
Another reason is coz a higher rank or third party person can help you to keep things in objective perception. Once ur in a relationship, somehow the ability to see things objectively is blurred a little. Sharing with others also brings the relationship into light where everyone can help out, instead of being in the dark and directionless and preventing from temptations+confusions. Do not be shy about the relationship. We need all the help we can get especially if it comes to a life partner =)
After the 4 steps above are done, ONLY then proceed to step 5.
Step 5.
Communicate/Tell/talk with the person about your romantic feelings to him/her.
Yes, this is by right the last step. Though many will take this as the first step to do, sadly. Doesnt anyone remember , "Save the best for last"?.
Ask God for the right timing to tell/express your feelings. Be careful not to frighten the person. By right men should lead the way and innitiate. And therefore dont drag your feet into it nor dont be too serious as well and make it sound like the world is ending. Be clear and always be relaxed about the whole thing. God is in control. Communicate unselfishly and wisely. Dont use God's name as an excuse that you two are meant to be together. God gave a freewill to choose and decide. The most He can do is give you signs and signals.
Guys also please do give the choice and liberty to the lady to opt out of the relationship if she doesnt feel like being in it. If it is really God's intention for this relationship to go on, you can always count on Him to help. If its not, why go into deeper unnecessary trouble?
Be respectful to one another and always keep the relationship well defined. Reveal and talk constantly about the progress and direction on the relationship as time goes by. When to get married? Careers? Children? Etc. Always keep them updated with one another to eliminate and prevent feelings of doubt and insecurity.
Lastly I would like to mention, should any of you want to be single for the rest of your lives, it is also a good thing. But dont let it be out of fear or hatred or other negative motives that u dont want to be in a relationship with another person. The main reason should be that u are all out ONLY for God and to be purely for Him. You dont want to be distracted or tied down so that u can further expand His kingdom and do His works. God did say blessed is he who is single but also blessed is he who has a wife. So its all good in the end.
With that the seminar ends. I tried my best to depict as much as talked by Ps Gloria, but its just too much. I had to shorten this down, but essentials are in here to check on BGR's should any of you feel like getting into or progressing further.
So the answer to the heading, should God be in the picture too on your courtship/date/wedding? Yes with a capital Y. For certain of course.
May this bring more understanding and clarity to all.
God Bless You

God did say blessed is he who is single but also blessed is he who has a wife. So its all good in the end.
With that the seminar ends. I tried my best to depict as much as talked by Ps Gloria, but its just too much. I had to shorten this down, but essentials are in here to check on BGR's should any of you feel like getting into or progressing further.
So the answer to the heading, should God be in the picture too on your courtship/date/wedding? Yes with a capital Y. For certain of course.
May this bring more understanding and clarity to all.
God Bless You

Forgiveness - Luna Halo
It felt like rain
That fell again
Down on me
It felt like rain
That touched my face
And I can't believe it
Like rain
I can't believe it
No I can't believe it
The things You said
Seem to find their way back into my head
And I regret my ways
You never left
Remind me once again so I won't forget
You're never far away
It felt like rain
That said again
That it's okay
Pale like white
I close my eyes
'Cause I can't believe it
I can't believe it
The way You forgive me

But what about Evil?
Many will ask me, "If God is Love, why in the world does he let evil enter at all?". The more extreme notion would be "God created love AND evil at the same time".
Here is what is fundamentally known and already declared affirmatively by God Himself:
God is Love. Yes.
Here is the expression of Gods love :
He gives YOU the choice(freewill) to love and live.
Here is the reason :
If God created humans like robots to ONLY obey and love, that is not authentic relationship and true affection and love. It is love by force and by law, therefore nullifying the former statement God is Love.
What does this do? :
Humans that choose to love grow stronger and closer to God. They experience an authentic relationship. Those who choose the opposite (evil) will not experience God's love. Rejection. The byproduct is suffering.
Where does evil come in? :
Because God allowed freewill, He allows love. But He must also ACCEPT THE FACT if He does so, He must be aware that some might choose evil. And because He already said He is love, He has to respect the choice. Therefore it has to be allowed. Love in essence is also based on respect. If God didnt give us the choice to choose, we would not be able to fully have OUR OWN capacity to choose and experience love.
Essentially, Evil doesnt exist just like that. Evil simply means not choosing love. Evil was not created. It is the lack of love. As similar to heat and cold. Cold is the absence of heat. Cold did not exist just like that. It is the cause of the lack of heat. Evil in the same way is the lack or absence of love.
Having said all of this, God DID say evil will be punished. Evil will not last forever. God does not hate the person doing evil. He just hates evil. God does not hate sinners. He hates sin.
Ultimately the choice was ours.
We just chose.
God waited for our answer.

God and Suffering
Todays world view of God as the all loving all mighty all saving Hero and Defender of the poor and helpless seems to have , if not, totally is questionable by all accounts. If God was here and He existed, why are there so many children dying in Darfur? Why the wars and political uprising? To some they say God is not fair. To some God doesnt exist because if He did, there shouldnt be suffering. Right?
One day, a customer walks into a barber shop. Gets his regular cut. And the customer and barber starts having a conversation, which eventually points to talking about God and world suffering. The barber then says , "God doesnt exist. If he did, abandoned children wouldnt be on the streets. The beggars would not be on the streets. Violence and racism would end. But it hasnt. They are getting worse. Definately God does not exist."
The customer politely just listens and not make a response. Just listening tentively.
After he's done, the customer walks off with his new hair cut. As soon as he walks out the front door he sees and old beggar, with long messy hair, unkempt beard and large moustache.
The customer walks back in and tells to the barber, "You know, barbers dont exist at all. They dont. Because if they did exist, there wouldnt be people like beggars with long messy hair or with long untidy beards."
The barber replies , "Ah......thats because they didnt come to me in the first place."
Do you see where this is pointing? Its not God didnt exist. Just that we didnt go to Him. Just as simple as there would be no suffering if someone actually started to approach God first to find a fix.
To 100% deny God means to 100% know Everything in this universe. Because to declare a universal negative, you must be universally knowledgable. Absolute. Can we ever say that we know even 10% of the unseen universe? Or even 1%? Something beyond the knowledge that we know? Can we really declare a guaranteed yet unknown doubtful universal negative as oppose to accept what is an affirmative existing universal positive? Basically to know God exists you dont need to know everything. You either just have to know Him personally or be aware of the evidence that establishes His existence. To know God DOESNT exist is the exact opposite.
The Universe is a wonderful thing. How it got here is either by two ways, Creation or a really fantastic accident. Why?
Matter + Energy + Information (With Intent and Purpose) = Concept and Design (creation)
Matter + Energy + Time + Random Chance = Apparent design and Complexity (incredible accident)
To say that there was nothing before the Universe existed, not even the first proton, electron and quarks is like saying there was no Thomas Edison before the light bulb. Nothing cannot beget something since there is nothing to work with in the first place. IT had to start from something with someone behind the scenes.

Stones
Im 101% sure that none of us has never had stones in our lives. Well some may have had boulders. The more serious ones have mountains to climb. Burdens.
Burdens are gonna be part of our lives till we leave this earth. And that is some really long times to have stones clinging to our butts every time we walk and drag our feet getting about life. And lets not despise those who seem not to have burdens at all. Actually we all do. Just that some dont realize the burden simple because its small and negligible. There are good burdens and bad burdens. Good burdens like always caring for others and constant support of loved ones is alright. Coz these burdens do not tie one down to the ground till he/she can move an inch.
Few of my biggest burdens include my financial status of my family, pursuing my education, dreadful exams, my relationship with others, finding a GF, keeping my family in one piece......ok ok i think i overshot a FEW to MANY. So u see.........even i have my own burdens dragging me all over the place.
Others? Well i can see some have emotional burdens (anger, hatred, prejudice, mockery, insult, heart broken etc) , some have material burdens, some have........gosh......just burdens everywhere.
Sometimes we cant just seem to be able to escape. Actually we cant. Burdens just keep on coming. Its like someone bus all these burdens all over us.
Some love to just dwell and sink in these burdens.......literally. I would say it isnt healthy at all....and it definately isnt going to bring them anywhere except nowhere or backwards. Probably even drown. With a stone attached to your feet and thrown into the sea......your gona drown good. And even if your stupid (no insult intended), your logical mind will tell you to try and RELEASE your burden and kick FREE to safety. At least your try to swim up to get a breath of fresh air. Thats whats happening to humans all over the world. We are drowning from our burdens and trying to get air but its always so hard coz the burden is always greater tying us down.
Even a donkey with stuff on its back wana let go. Even a dog with on a leash would wana let go. If animals with the basic instinct to live knows how to let burdens go, what us humans with the intelligence greatest in this solar system? Why are we still clinging to our burdens? Or should i say, why some of us keep ADDING burdens to ourselves? Its really getting out of hand.
I mean we can let go our burdens to anyone we want. Problem is.....will the people we let go to be trustful enough that he/she wont drop the boulder clumsily back on us again? Time and again it is very obvious we cant simply let go 100% to anyone. And definately not any human. Why? If i gave u everyday a stone to carry.......after 100 days.......can u still carry all those stones and not drop it? Humans were never meant to carry such load. Never. We have to accept the fact we are limited. If not we will just be kidding ourselves. Lying to ourselves. The phrase "Yes we can" is purely motivational. We shud be asking "Yes we can, but in who?"
If I were to say "Just let it go"...... sounds wayyyy to easy right? The fact is it is THAT easy.
If I said i knew of a way.....would you wana try it after other ways failed?
If I said that someone that I know wants to take away all our burdens just because he just wants to set us free..... would you give it up?
If I said that there is no other pre requirement, no questions asked, no qualification..... just give your burdens away......would you do so?
I met someone by the name of Jesus Christ not too long ago. His name is pretty cool, awesome in someways coz His name literally means "The Saviour".
One of His most favourite stuff to do is carry peoples burdens away FOR them. In His words of comfort "All those who are burdened and troubled come to Me , give all your burdens to Me and I will give you rest" - Matthew 11:28 . Its interesting to note He said "All who are". Meaning you, me, my parents, your parents, my friends, your friends, the beggars, the sinful, the unworthy, the sick, the poor, the President of the United States. All.
Jesus is the only one who transgresses communities, races, traditions, societies, cultures and laws to just come and ask this simple thing from us : Give Him our burdens when we are tired of it.
So i say this to you my dear friends. If you have already reached your most troubled life and burdened till you are drowning, the good news is Jesus has already prepared His arms and back to take your burdens.
He carried the sins of the world. He can carry your burdens.
He doesnt ask anything in return.
He just hopes you will visit Him more often and tell Him about your burdens.
I've given mine to Him. How about you? =)
God Bless

Interstate 2009
Yes folks its back! And sooner than expected. The PCC Interstate 2009 Ride is back this year. Starting from May 1 - 3. Compare to last years route where we headed east to Kuantan, this year we go south.
The routes are Seremban - Gemas - Gunung Ledang - Melaka.
Seems like a more scenic route than last years hellish empty plains. Heard there will be climbs too.
Cant wait to get registered. Do hope all plans go smoothly. =)
3 days of riding for fun and pain.
Long live Interstate!

He is LORD
"For I am the LORD, that is My name, My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to idols and carved images." ~ Isaiah 42:8
"I, even I, am the LORD and besides Me there is no other saviour. I have declared and saved, I have proclaimed and there was no foreign god among you ; therefore you are My witnesses. Says the LORD , I am God. Indeed before the day was, I am He. And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand ; I work and who will reverse it?" ~ Isaiah 43:11-13
"I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My one sake; And will not remember your sins." ~ Isaiah 43:25
"I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God. Who can proclaim as I do?" ~ Isaiah 44:6b - 7a

Stronger
Sometimes people seem to always fall and fail in life. When they try to keep holding on to their money. Their family. Spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend, property, share markets, investments, policies, education, doctors, equipment, technology, vehicles, pets, food etc etc.
Like all things on this earth, nothing is ever 100% reliable. Even ourself. A good example is telling urself to wake up at 10am and waking up 5 minutes later. Or telling ourself not to overspend or not to think of negative things. But somehow we do it in the end. That is how unreliable we are.
We hold on to the wrong things sometimes. But you know what I will do?
I'll just hang on to God. Simply because, He is stronger. =)

Hang On To You - by Delirious?
And I'll hang on to you
'Cos you're stronger and you keep me from falling
And you brighten the world with your beauty
Keep me closer I'm calling
Looking out like a little child
Holding tight when it all gets wild
And I'll hang on to you
Nothing in this world will see me through
Only you
And I'll hang on to you
Everyday I live, I give to You
And your love it is true
I feel stronger and I'm happy to know you
'Cos you shine like the sun and you're brighter
Than the darkness that's falling
Nothing in this world could ever take your place
Happiness is found in your holy face
In your warm embrace
And I'll hang on to you
'Cos you're stronger and you keep me from falling
And you brighten the world with your beauty
Keep me closer I'm calling
Looking out like a little child
Holding tight when it all gets wild
And I'll hang on to you
Nothing in this world will see me through
Only you
And I'll hang on to you
Everyday I live, I give to You
And your love it is true
I feel stronger and I'm happy to know you
'Cos you shine like the sun and you're brighter
Than the darkness that's falling
Nothing in this world could ever take your place
Happiness is found in your holy face
In your warm embrace

In My Spirit in My Heart
You know........God is just so awesome. Its beyond comparison to anyone or any other thing. My Father in Heaven is just so loving. Sometimes i just dont know what to describe with my human mouth and my limited vocab. Heaven is limitless
My heart cries Holy
You know because God is my God, i just wana dance? Why?
Coz He loves me just the way i am. Its true. Im blown away by this. Im free because of Him. Just think about this. God is ever patiently accepting me. No matter what I am. Whether im a pile of crap. He is still so commited to make me the way He wants me to be.........which is to be like Him! He just never gives up. Never. Thats called steadfast love.
When im not good enough or when i dont clean up my act others scorn and hate me. Yet His grace is just so abundant for me that i am counted right with Him. I didnt do anything at all. Jesus did all the work for me. =) Thats all that matters. I dont mind people hate me coz they cant save me. Jesus has already saved me.
I stand before something so real. So true and so personal. Science cant explain God coz God created science.
In the Bible where all of the letters of the apostels are booked into one neat cool Instruction authored by God, it does speak of a lot of things abt Gods character. And also His revelations and promises for not just me........but you also and the 6.4billion inhabitants. Whether they believe Him or not..........
"God says, in this last days on earth, I shall pour out My Spirit on the people ; your sons and daughters will prophesy, young men will see visions, old men shall dream dreams. " - Acts 2:17
God will pour his Spirit on us.......those who have confessed Him by His Name.
You know what God wants? From us? Heres what He wants,
Thats all He wants from you.......you my friend.
You know.......why worry so much about the world and what is to come tomoro? For we worry like a fool at times. Yet look at this , "Look at the birds in the air. They do not plant nor harvest the crops. Yet your Father in heaven feeds them. Are YOU not more worthy and valuable than the birds? Will u live longer worrying? So why worry what you shall eat or wear. Seek first God's kingdom and His righteousness and the rest will be given. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. Todays trouble is already enough" - Matthew 6:26-34.
My dear friends.......have you ever wondered why its always so important to come before God in humility and fear? Coz when you are on your knees before God....... you cannot stumble nor fall. Thats how God exalts the humble but turns away those who stand tall and proud of their own, for a single touch of God's finger will throw them into a deep pit.
God saw that we needed to be saved. And He said we WILL be saved no matter what the cost. And the cost was God Himself. And this is what God paid for
3 Nails......
1 Cross
My heart cries Holy

3 Nails......
1 CrossAnd He paid the final price with His blood and His spirit for our freedom. Salvation is free for us but at the expense of God's own Son.
You know when you find for things in life and u just cant seem to get satisfied of it, its coz ur missing the bigger part of the puzzle. I once told a friend, you dont find the source of the river by going downstream. You gotta head upstream. Same with life........if you follow life downstream you will get lost. If you headed upstream, you find the source of life which is God in the end.
The beauty behind all this is that Jesus Christ came to earth, not to save Christians, but to save the sinners and the wicked and the rest of the world population. He didnt come to make Christianity a world wide religion. He came to give love as the solution to life's problems and touch lives. He didnt come to talk nonsense. He came to give us a chance to talk to God again.
Jesus did give this little piece of advice which is your choice to follow or not whether now or later : -
"I will say to you, whoever confesses My name before men, then I shall confess his name before the angels of God as well" - Luke 12:8
"One day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess, whether those in heaven, on earth or underneath it, that Jesus Christ is Lord and God will be glorified." - Philippians 2: 10-11
Faith is a very awesome word. Why? Faith as God says : "Faith is being sure what we hope for and being certain of what we do not see." - Hebrews 11:1
You know another thing is.........people keep dying for the world. They say dying for my loved ones and my family is an honor. It will bring honor and good name to the family. Dying for love. Die for money. Die for freedom. But let me share this with you. .....I live for God coz He already died for you and me. The Cross was there to give us the chance to live again. I live for Christ. And to live is Christ. To live for God is the biggest honor in the universe. Why die for something so small when you can live for Someone so Big? =)
A beautiful promise of God reads :-
"I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods the dry ground ; I will pour my Spirit on your descendants, and My blessings on your offspring" - Isaiah 44:3
All these are for you my friends. Im sharing a wonderful gift with you.
If i didnt share with you this gift i will live with regret when i enter heaven.
God Bless

He didnt come to make Christianity a world wide religion. He came to give love as the solution to life's problems and touch lives. He didnt come to talk nonsense. He came to give us a chance to talk to God again.
Jesus did give this little piece of advice which is your choice to follow or not whether now or later : -
"I will say to you, whoever confesses My name before men, then I shall confess his name before the angels of God as well" - Luke 12:8
"One day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess, whether those in heaven, on earth or underneath it, that Jesus Christ is Lord and God will be glorified." - Philippians 2: 10-11
Faith is a very awesome word. Why? Faith as God says : "Faith is being sure what we hope for and being certain of what we do not see." - Hebrews 11:1
You know another thing is.........people keep dying for the world. They say dying for my loved ones and my family is an honor. It will bring honor and good name to the family. Dying for love. Die for money. Die for freedom. But let me share this with you. .....I live for God coz He already died for you and me. The Cross was there to give us the chance to live again. I live for Christ. And to live is Christ. To live for God is the biggest honor in the universe. Why die for something so small when you can live for Someone so Big? =)
A beautiful promise of God reads :-
"I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods the dry ground ; I will pour my Spirit on your descendants, and My blessings on your offspring" - Isaiah 44:3
All these are for you my friends. Im sharing a wonderful gift with you.
If i didnt share with you this gift i will live with regret when i enter heaven.
God Bless

Chili's and Chilies (4.1.2009)
This day in history is one of those days which can make you laugh love and live at the same time.
Faith turns a year older and we wanted to celebrate with her. Zhang Song, Dawson, Vighnath, Nicole (Faith's younger sister) , Me and of course Birthday Girl herself went to Chili's Grill and Bar in KLCC after church. Its been a long time we havent gone out together as a group, what more close frends.
Vigh said the burgers there are to die for. Can he be that serious about burgers? Ive yet to meet a burger i can die for OR die of. McD's are already not on the list of A grade burgers. So lets see what Chili's have to offer.
Standing outside the restaurant waiting to be seated.....we all peeked at the menu. And by golly, what a menu......
Big Mouht burgers with 7oz patties..........now thats freaky. But then again i've been seeing too much"Not as advertised" burgers. Ramly's n McD's are perfect examples. So is KFC.
Fajita's, bottomless chips, magaritas, spirits, steaks, country meals.........this was really mouth watering. The price was even more eye catching.
We go to sit down after 10 minutes wait (not bad) and the service was just excellent. 5/5.
Dawson and me couldnt stop taking photos of the whole place. The table, the bar, the menus. Haha. I had one of the best and i should say fastest menu browsing experience. The menu's description of the food is just top class.
The magaritas just looked so tempting, but at RM20++ per glass.....well i'll try it next time. The Southern Sling was my choice. Its a blend of bananas, strawberries, pineapple with vanila ice cream. Simply awesome. Topped with a nice orange slice.
Simply heavenly...
L- R : Guava (ZS's) , Apple (Dawsons) , Tomato(Vighs) not in pic (Nicole's Chocolate Banana shake)
The Bar.....
And then.......came the star of the day. The Big One. The Champion. The Incredible. The Big Mought Burgers! We all ordered different types......but all have one thing in common.........SIZE DOES MATTER!
This is no illusion or trick. This is the real deal. A burger 4 1/2 inches wide and almost 4 inches tall! Im not exaggerating here. And the fries were just jumbo! They were as big as my finger! One word i can say.......... fulamak......
And then came the Buffalo wings....
We were in for a real treat......and the first thing we pondered........How do u take a bite of a nearly 4 inch tall burger? Explains the fork and knife now! But being true Malaysians.......we want to go out in style.......getting our hands and mouth and the whole table in a mess. Hahahaha.
So what else we dug in. Laughing and having a good time.
The one thing we all also noticed.........we all got one hell of a jaw exercise! I mean frankly speaking.....if you dont have a jaw of a python or the jaws of a cow (which can chew food for long periods)...... you will need a jaw surgery after this meal. Our jaws were getting sore and stiff. I think i almost dislocated mine as well......
Oil was leaking out the backside of all our burgers. Dawson nearly fainted eating his last bite. I had a good fight with my BBQ Ranch burger. Vigh was rather quiet. Zhang Song enjoyed every moment. Faith took her own sweet time. And her buns got soaked in oil and sauce! And Nicole was busy getting around the whole thing. Vigh apparently chose the wrong drink. You wont wana be stuffed with a half kilo burger and then down pure tomato juice. LOL!
Poor old Dawson needed help with the fries. Captain Darren (CD) to the rescue then.
Faith broke the record by still having a piece of burger hanging from her fingers after 1.5 hours
And after almost 2 struggling hours of eating (we came in at 3pm, food arrived at 3.20 and we ate till 5pm) we were done.
Sadly though Faith could not finish her burger. She met her match. But.......i guess im still unmatched on the table.......
I took the last bite........

The Bar.....So our drinks arrived......and then came our first sniff of a wonderful meal......Bottomless Tostada Chips.....bottomless meaning........ FREE REFILLS!!! These were the best chips with the best salsa sauce ever! We had 4 rounds of these.

I took the last bite........Man! Lunch has never been so awesome as this! And we are now contemplating a 10 round Tosada Chip refill! Sounds achievable yes? Well if 10 of us went it will be!
Well after this wonderful time of fellowship and lunch i had to say goodbye to the guys. They want ed to walk about to digest the food. Meanwhile i had to run over (not literally run but take LRT) to Time Square coz me dad was waiting there for me since like 2pm! Gosh.......sorry dad to make you wait. I dont really feel nice making people wait for me. But i dont mind waiting for people though. XD
Anyway found my dad sipping a drink in Time Square having just finished browsing at Borders. We were to get him a mouse and a pendrive. Since he wasnt so familiar with Low Yat so i had to take him around. Got the stuff we needed.........but.............before we left.......
Dad wanted to LOOK at some digicams. Since our film cam was abt to KO. I was fine with LOOKING. So we went to FOTOKEM and looked around. Then he sat down and asked this lovely salesgirl.......can i have a look at the cheapest camera? She shows an Olympus FE-320 and FE-340. Both were abt RM550.
Dad you got to be serious?! We were not suppose to get this and he really looked bent on purchasing it. After some explanation abt the features by our salesgirl....... dad looked at me , "You think this is OK?" I was really stumped and i just said "Its up to you....". I really really didnt expect this. Well yes buying a camera is something nice. But buying it unexpectedly was the thing that caught me off guard. Anyway........dad just gave the nod and handed over the credit card.
JUST LIKE THAT. We got a camera. Olympus FE-340. Out of the blue. Gosh, i wish i could do that.
Ours was silver.....not this red color.......
Well God has blessed dad financially even he's in retirement. So well.....dads been working hard all these 30 years. I guess he deserves something which he hasnt owned yet. Oh yeah......and then came the big surprise. He REALLY placed an order for a new Myvi...... Im just out of words today........
So after we did our "shopping".......we went over to Time Square Starbucks coz dad asked me to test the wifi on the lappie and also do some stuff. Got there sipping nice orange juice with the lappie n my dad. After sorting out a simple IP fix and wala......we were surfing wifi in Starbucks. My first time actually surfing in Starbucks. Now i feel like the rest of the class. LOL. At least.
Taught dad how to save and download pics from the net and put on desktop background. Did some admin work. Then had those usual father and son talks. =)
By 9.30 we left and to be frank........the burger was still in me. One heck of a burger. Then we went to Jalan Alor's famous beef noodles. And the chili here was reputed as the best in Malaysia. I got a small bowl of noodles. Then i tried the chili.............
This was the killer........
If u dont have a fire hydrant next to you i suggest u get a firetruck at least. This chili was a power punch of a chili. It has this super max taste of lime ginger red chilies garlic onions and God knows what other ingredients. Its like a californian wild fire in my mouth. And my nose became Niagara falls. But it was darn good stuff no doubt. Phew.
And after this whole day of tired jaws and burnt tongues.......dad sent me home.
Chili's and Chilies Day.

Reason and Season
Ok ok i know Xmas is over but i cant help but put this post up :)
Santa lives at the North Pole,
Jesus is everywhere.
Santa rides in a sleigh
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.
Santa comes but once a year
JESUS is an ever present help.
Santa fills your stockings with goodies
JESUS supplies all your needs.
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited
JESUS stands at your door and knocks..
And then enters your heart.
You have to stand in line to see Santa
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.
Santa lets you sit on his lap
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.
Santa doesn't know your name,
all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?"
JESUS knew our name before we did.
Not only does He know our name,
He knows our address too.
He knows our history and future
and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.
Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly
JESUS has a heart full of love.
All Santa can offer is HO HO HO
JESUS offers health, help and hope.
Santa says "You better not cry"
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.
Santa's little helpers make toys
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.
Santa may make you chuckle but
JESUS gives you Joy that is your strength.
While Santa puts gifts under your tree
JESUS became our gift and died on the tree which is the Cross.
- By Rev. James Spellman of Ohio

It's obvious there is really no comparison.
We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about.We need to put Christ back in Christmas.
Jesus is still the reason for the season.
New 2009
Welcome to a new year.
My new year began with God. Was at church for Thanksgiving n Re-Dedication from 10pm till 1am. No where better to start than in Gods presence. Ps David shared a wonderful message. Reaffirms our aim and hopes for a adventure filled year.
Immediately after the end of the celebration, worship team and me headed for supper before going to Ipoh in the wee hours of the morning. We were to minister and serve at Canning Garden Baptist Church at 2.30pm. The Team - Ps David, Ps Gloria, Ps Jason, Ps Jadeline, Dawson, Jimmy, Chrysler, Hannah, Michelle, Daniel, Timothy and myself. We were caught at abt 2am in a jam in Kepong. Loooong jam. I was with Jimmy Timothy and Chrysler in Jades kenari. And we decided to be just a little crazy in the new year spirit.
We wound down our windows.......and literally wished each car we passed (in the crawl) happy new year! Cool eh? Though we werent that bold to shout "Jesus Loves You". Well at least we were bold enough to put some worship songs loud and sang out loud. Didnt mind we got stares. We just enjoyed. Ps Jason in front of us with Michelle Jadeline n Hannah were laughing at us singing at the back.
As we escaped the jam, we sang more and more worship songs........well into a foggy highway. I was awake until i slowly dozed off at abt 4am.......with the snare drum firmly in my hands. Woke at abt 5am and we were in Ipoh already. Got to the hotel and slept by 5.30 before waking up at 11am same morning.
Had lunch together at 12pm. That was when i heard abt the 4 rider crash at Broga when i asked my riding buddies how were they doing on their New Year Ride. I was really worried coz one of them was my good frend Azahari. And the others were riders i knew as well. Adeline Lee, Firdaus n Pine. Practically was worried for them and hoping for things to be alright. I called Chief Kutu to check how were things and he said all were concious and nothing too serious. I later learned that Azahari had a broken collar bone and a 2 inch gash on his fore head. Pine had a dislocated shoulder. Adeline n Firdaus had a few nasty scrapes and bruises. They were taken to Seremba GH and then given outpatient treatment except Azahari who had to be admitted. Heard he was taken back to Ampang Putri Specialist. Thank God at least. Hope they are all recovering well and speedily.
After that went over to CGBC and service ended arnd 5.30. Had light porridge prepared by the church before we left back to KL. We did this all in a day!
Driving back was equally crazy (esp with two guys having a DSLR camera in the same car).
We took lots of crazy pictures. And the driving was not any better as well. Dawson drove Ps Davids car at 140kph! Jimmy grunted everytime he drove Ps Davids car he wud get sounded if he went over 110. Lol. Jimmy Jason n Dawson kept overtaking each other on the highway. Until we reached KL. Chyrs managed to snap a cute photo of Timmy sleeping with his mouth open.
Reached KL at abt 9pm. And just as we tot we were safe at home, Jimmy cant find the toll ticket. We ransacked the whole care but we cudnt find it. In the end he paid RM46.20 as a fine (which is the max toll you will pay from Bkt Kayu Hitam, Kedah to KL). Later when we got to the restaurant for dinner, Ps David n Ps Gloria cudnt help but sit Jimmy down at the dinner table and started interrogating him.....much to our amusement.
Dinner and fellowship was great. Talked about Waffle Kerang, Durian Fritters and insects for snacks. Lol
Reached my hse at 11pm all tired n beat up.
New ways to start a new year.
Merry New year Folks
