the worst national song ever! (sorry to say but it's true)

everyone! have you ever heard the song about Malaysia's Bunga Raya this year???
it was made for Tahun Jubilee Bunga Kebangsaan Malaysia (something like that)... guess what it is being played in rapidKL buses!!! over and over and over till it stuck in your head!

ARRGHHH~~~!

it is ANNOYING... to the max! the whole song is not patriotic and it is like composed by a non musician, simply throw in the musical notes, just to give a tune to the lyrics... sorry to say, but it's 'yucksss' for me to listen to it...

tune is out, lyric is 'blah', the video is 'so so, typical RTM videos'... guess they run out of ideas???

unlike 'Sejahtera Malaysia' and 'KeranaMu Malaysia' etc...

Risk It... U-Turn...

National Conference 2010, organized by Fellowship of Evangelical Students (FES) at Bayu Resort Port Dickson, from 29nov till 4dec was a blast! BOOOMMM!


why??


AMAZING PEOPLE...

WONDERFUL STORIES...

YOU'LL-NEVER-GO-HUNGRY MEALS...

ELECTRIFYING SPEECHES...

AWESOME GOD!!!


i guess i will need a day or two to write for my journal!!! from the first day till the last moment there!

God of second chances...
God who revives...
God who look pass handicaps and lead the person to eternal destiny...

God of silence yet full of energy and strong presence...
God who is faithful even though we failed many times!!!

God... the BIGGEST RISK TAKER!

this generation of young people, called to be the voice of the LORD in this nation, against the current world full of racism, injustice, compromise, degraded morale...
becoming the prophets, to profess God's standards to restore and reconcile relationships, between men and between men to God...

the Benjamin Generation...

we went through the second letter of Apostle Paul to Timothy... we looked at the prophet Ezekiel... the prophet Jeremiah... we look at GOD'S HEART for this nation, this generation...

i sense the time is soon... the one which i dreamed of 2 or 3 years ago...
though it might not be drastic and dramatic... hmm... perhaps it might be...!

ok... SELAH, a moment of pause...

fuuh~~~ too many things to write that it's all over the place... i do need a day to write them!



Tega tawai, TUHAN...

ok... i need a mountain to climb for solitary time...

reflection...

searching...

and falling in love again... and again... and again...

kenangan...

today... looking at the kindergarten picture on FB, suddenly i thought of my cousin when he was still alive...

...

...

...

...

...

perhaps i miss him... even though we didnt really spend much time together, especially after he moved out from our house during secondary school, i remember the times when we were still young, and such a kiddo...

there was a time when we competed with each other to be the first to wake up and made ready for school, primary school... finished writing vocabulary even before teacher asked us to...

...

it has been two years since the last time i saw him, before he was gone...

i still cannot make up my mind that he is actually gone! as if he was still somewhere outside...

the biggest shock is, he passed away before his brother did (who was in the hospital due to suspected drug overdose in KL) ! when he went back Sarawak that time, he was just fine! we thought his brother would go first, never expect he died in Sibu Hospital...

DOUBLE shock for us!

even though we are not so so close...

BUT i miss them, especially the younger one of them, same age with me and grew up together...

mata pun membesar... telinga lagi berjaga-jaga...

WALAO!!!

something happened while i was in the rapidKL u40 to KL this morning! and it happened next to my seat!

there the bus was getting filled up along the journey, and there was a man with a bag sitting next to me, seemed like it was the last empty seat available...

orite, now, the bus reached batu 9 (if not mistaken, too many batu(s) around, dunno where and when i'm at which batu... hmm... so whatever, batu 9 la). there was an old man (around 45-55 years old, gendut, perut buncit, rambut pendek seperti botak, and the baju macam ada sejenis bau) squeezing from front to the back and sat on the platform in between the back seats.

and i am sure that the guy and the old man didn't know each other.

just, out of nowhere, i sensed something was going on besides me! the old man's hand was on the guy's lap! he was talking once a while to him, while patting and rubbing that guy's lap!

"what is that??!' i was thinking, continue to observe...

then, his hand was like moving closer and closer to that part, and he touched it! yet, that guy macam tak kisah saja!!!

i heard the old man said, '... besar oh... sangat besar...'
GOSH!!! WHAT THE HECK is he doing there??!

once a while that guy lean forward and the old man whispered things to him.

...

...

...

...

...

...

hmm... itu la ceritanya... i guess sama-sama mau kot... kalau tidak, pasti that guy menolak la, rather than biar saja dia meraba sana sini, menepuk dan akhirnya sentuh 'duud'...

i remember one night, not long before that happening, he was in the same bus with me! and i was sitting next to him! GOSH... good thing he didnt meraba-raba me!

but...

he did asked me, 'adik, pi mane?... kajang ke?'

WAH~~~!!!

mengeracau...

is it just me or suddenly a lot of people are against Israel?

it's like people going crazy... cut here and there, march here and there, shout here and there, benci here and there, kawad kiri kanan kiri...

oh, Israel... a small nation... and it's like the whole world is going to swallow you up...


but the amazing and wonderful thing is... Israel is not going to vanish... some mysteries people just couldn't understand...

Psalms 119:129-136

Psalms 119:129-136 (The Message)

Every word you give me is a miracle word—
how could I help but obey?

Break open your words, let the light shine out,
let ordinary people see the meaning.

Mouth open and panting,
I wanted your commands more than anything.

Turn my way, look kindly on me,
as you always do to those who personally love you.

Steady my steps with your Word of promise
so nothing malign gets the better of me.

Rescue me from the grip of bad men and women
so I can live life your way.

Smile on me, your servant;
teach me the right way to live.

I cry rivers of tears
because nobody's living by your book!



here is another version of the verses...


Psalms 119:129-136 (Amplified Bible)

129Your testimonies are wonderful [far exceeding anything conceived by man]; therefore my [penitent] self keeps them [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying them].

130The entrance and unfolding of Your words give light; their unfolding gives understanding (discernment and comprehension) to the simple.

131I opened my mouth and panted [with eager desire], for I longed for Your commandments.

132Look upon me, be merciful unto me, and show me favor, as is Your way to those who love Your name.

133Establish my steps and direct them by [means of] Your word; let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

134Deliver me from the oppression of man; so will I keep Your precepts [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying them].

135Make Your face shine [with pleasure] upon Your servant, and teach me Your statutes.

136Streams of water run down my eyes, because men do not keep Your law [they hear it not, nor receive it, love it, or obey it].




Psalms 119 is very, how to say, good la... really lack of words...
read it out last Sunday evening... hmm, the longest chapter in the Bible eh...

there are many kept me thinking and 'menikmati ayat-ayatnya'... wonderful...
then Psalms 119:130 is the one i keep thinking till now...

unfolding of His Words... gives light... gives understanding to the simple... so called the rhema word... transforming our thoughts, thinking patterns, renewing & restoring our mind from the 'lies' we consciously & unconsciously absorb throughout the life, the lies of the world...
what a joy to know the One God, His Words give the excitement and wonders in heart of the listeners...

hey mates, there's only one Truth here, get on hold of it tightly, never lose it!
He said "I am the Truth, the Way and the Life..."

you know, He=Yeshua haMesshiach







Abbah, God of the universe
watching all things happening under the sky, among the people
all things happen with Your divine permission, according to Your will...
everything and everyone is moving around You, as the centre. it's all about You...
Faithful God, keeping Your promises even till today, You never fail... even though our mind cannot fathom Your ways, we wanna trust in Your will...

who are we to complain about what people call bad lucks, accidents, woes... often we want good things, 'good lucks' from You, why not we also accept the 'bad things' from You, with contentment?
we sigh upon looking at those news, happenings around us... murders, rapes, corruptions, frauds, deaths, disasters, climate changes... politics...? injustice...? foolishness...?...homosexuality... ah... too much... sigh~~

the world is corrupted... worse and worse... seems like there is no HOPE everywhere, no TRUTH can be found... nowhere is safe so it seems! many got drifted by the current of the world, overlooked the lifeline which has been thrown down to them from above the heavens...
"we cannot do a thing to change... it's like that... what to do... i know, don't talk about these anymore... shhhhh..."

Your Kingdom is near, the everlasting Kingdom of Yours...
and it's time now for people to be awaken from deep sleep, eyes be opened to see, ears to hear the Truth. a new heart to understand...
"TODAY, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion..."
Help us, LORD to speak forth for You... for we know much of our own words are not matched with Your one true Word, because You know everyone the best. everyone created in You, through You, for You...

give us the understanding to read Your Words, that we may grow stronger each day, renewed every morning... that there's a joy and peace surpasses our own understanding, even in the storms of life... for we know better and better who You are, how tender and sweet You are, how strict and just You are... everything is about You... oh, Your Words i crave in the deepest of my being...

Your Words is LIFE! the light i need! the slumber of assurance, the confidence to live...

God of Mercy, Loving Abbah, Wonderful Jesus, Gentle Spirit... :) unfolding Your Words so that many lives see the light... so that the simple understands... life will never be the same again! let the knowledge of the LORD flood the earth...

honour and glory is to You. the authority is Yours. Your Kingdom is forever.
thank You for the gift You give
thank You for being faithful
thank You for the Truth you unveiled
thank You...

in Yeshua's super duper name, we pray, amen...

food for thought...

1 Timothy 6:3-10 (NIV)

3If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,

4
he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions

5
and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.

6But godliness with contentment is great gain.

7For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.

8But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.

9People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction.

10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
