How many times have we missed an opportunity to life simple pleasure, due to our hectic lifestyle, the excuse to say we are busy.
Envious with busy people, once I was
Until the day, I felt so busy that I find sustaining relationships around me tough
All I want, is to find rest.
Going home, is a time where I can rejuvenate
No matter how bad the situation is outwardly
Home makes one feels at peace, as if everything will be alright.
I always dream about myself sitting alone on an empty beach
only the sound of sea caressing the beach
the sun rising up signalling a new day
promising new hope
the gentle sea breeze telling me that if the world forsakes me, God is for me
the front wind that sweeps my fringe backwards comforting my weak soul
the natural fresh smell of sea water makes breathing soothing
and me silently speaking to God
mesmerize His awesome unfathomable creation

40 Days fast
Hey there.. Ramadhan is near
The Malays are fasting, and so am I...
Went to church 2 nights ago, prayed for the country and also different generations,
they are the children, the youths, the young working adults and also the adults.
The church is embarking on a 40 days fast
with the main purpose to pray and fast for the country
After 8 March 2008, I actually hated the newspaper
the media is flooded with overwhelming news and probably rumours about political parties, Menteri Besars, cultural/race discrimination etc
Instead of progressing to be more prosperous and cooperative
I sometimes feel Malaysians (include all races) are degressing
Racial disparity are getting wider
Conversation on cultural diversity can turn controversial (Conversation --> Controversial???)
Why can't some people just take it as a curiosity of the opposite race/religion in getting to know each other more?
OK.. Enough of complaints..
Yep, due to the immense disparity (instead of diversity) stirred by the politicians which eventually labours to intense estrangement to the minority
The church has encouraged Christians to fast and pray for the nation
Fast and pray is not an obligation of a Christian
but rather a voluntary act of submitting your physical and worldly crave to the Lord, to tame your spirit
When we fall for worldly material, we are easily lured and succumbed to temptations
Thus, by fasting, we surrender ourselves to God's strength to sustain our daily life, in short, is called God reliant.
Christians are like normal human being too
When there is a crisis, I would naturally seek my friends and family members for help
but, when everything turns vain
the last resort is God.
But, in the teaching, we are suppose to seek upon God first and trust His decision and way for us to solve the problem.
There are many occasions, when I seek God, the problem seemed to have solved itself automatically
This doesn't mean that Christians need not work and wait for blessings to fall from the sky, it just means that our strength will be renewed and rejuvenated when we come to God and be in his presence everyday
Matthew 6:16-18 declares,
"When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."
Tomorrow starts my 40 days fast,
determination and faith needed!!
To my friends who are non-Christian,
this is my opinion on fasting and my life with God,
no insult or despise to other religion is intended.

Let time be my judge
Do you remember that I once put "Let time be my judge" on msn?
and you asked me "Judge wat? Results?"
and I answered you "Nope. Results is soon, about 3weeks, but this takes probably 6 months to 1 year."
To answer your question precisely,
I need time to judge you. Yeah, judge you.
You have treated me so well,
that people in the class were gossiping,
rumours soaring every corner,
I pretend not to hear anything.
Continue to study with you when you wanted to
Continue to go out with you when you invited
Continue to have supper with you when you are dead hungry
which made me put on about 5 lbs (thx to you, huh)
You were so good, that I thought maybe you were interested
but, on the other hand, we havent known each other long
till now, it has only been 4 months
It also seems impossible for you to be interested,
because I am a malaysian (admit that!! many Singaporeans do look down on Malaysians)
because it is too good to be true
because you used to call me, but now no more/less frequent
I really need time to know who you actually are
Am I just another friend who fills in your empty time?
Am I always easily available because I am in school, that is why I am your resort (probably the last resort)?
Are you actually lonely that is why you need a companion like me?
or are you our there to play with girls' hearts?
or you think I am gullible enough to be fooled?
I am really very confused
you seemed interested at times and not interested at times
You remember every little thing I said, however you don't get my Malaysian number
You remember my dad's birthday, even when I just said it in a slight exclamation "oh, tmr's my dad's bd" when I wrote the date 29/3
You remember I would like to work in SP, when I don't even remember telling you that, because it was such a brief conversation
You remember the movies I wanted to watch, when you just manage to glance through the list of "movies must watch" in my computer
You remember I was afraid of cold
You remember I dislike McDonald's
You remember I like guitar-based songs
You would ask me if I have reached home safely, but when I am in urgent need to get to my uncle house, you said you were with your friends and can't pick me
(should I trust you, or should i take it as an excuse?)
You would inform me about an internship offer in my dream company, but you seldom tell me about your internship in Exxon
You say you would buy me a CD as my birthday present, I am flying off to Czech soon, but I have yet to receive anything from you
I caught your stares during cell group (a couple of times), and you didn't turn away.. Oh my, so I have to be the one who blush and turn away
You said I was ridiculous, when I know I was demanding n insane, but still you came and compromised to my ridiculous demand
ok ok, I am really sorry for that, but I was extremely pressurized that time;
You held my hands when I was rattling the table with my fingers, when you could actually just tell me politely to be quiet;
You brought Kinder Bueno while we study together;
You came to school to study and shared your favourite bread (some Italian bread with ham and cheese, sauce = tomato puree) from Botanical Garden;
You downloaded songs that you think I might like;
You informed me that the movie I wanted to watch is available online;
You downloaded the movie I wanted to watch into your iphone so that when I get bored studying, I can watch that movie (actually, I found that movie "The Lovely Bones" quite boring >.<);
Oh would you stop playing mind games,
I am sick of guessing
if you are interested please tell,
if not, I am gonna convince myself that you are not that wonderful after all
and continue to move on.
Honestly, I am touched by your moves sometimes,
but if we are just platonic friends, I have to know it,
so that I don't harbour false hopes.
So now, you understand why I say "let time be my judge"
because only time can reveal what you are thinking and who you are.
PS: Did u manage to get the seahorse I wanted? or do you even remember?

Impalpable
So abstract, yet so real
Invisible, but invincible
Impalpable, yet indented with footprints
Actions without words, left the heart melted
No wings, but drifted far
Left to afar,
images and incident imprinted vividly
Leaving soon, Coming soon,
time and tide waits for no man
opportunity given
thrown to you to make your decision
will you take the courage to hold just that moment?
Chasse each other
Occasionally hoped Mars and Venus never clashed
but if they never,
i wonder... how that time would be
still, i remain thankful for God's arrangement

1st time in Spore's cinema
Always wanted to reserve my first cinema movie for some special occasion
someone special..
Although, I didn't fulfill my dreams
However, my first experience was not in vain
In fact, I think spending my 1st time in Spore's cinema with my cell group member
is much more worth while, and I am truly satisfied and happy :)
We chatted, laughed, joked, played throughout the journey to Plaza Singapura
Thn we left one of our cell group members in Daiso
while we headed to Carrefour to get our drinks..
haha, naughty people lk us...
I enjoyed my day
Being single is fun!!!
Like what my friend said :" Enjoy while you are single.."
and, I am really living up to her quote
Well, I can multi-date and have numerous platonic guy friends
but, an Attached can't enjoy such freedom...
>.< *wink*
