I'm really glad my friend speak up because sometimes I do wonder whether how I usually act will hurt their feelings. If everything is turned around, I might not get hurt. Well different people, different personality and different character. I might find their joke not funny but maybe sometimes a little acting would made their day haha

A little acting won't hurt right? :)

FRIENDS

2011-10-25T16:03:00.000+08:00

Companion. Friend. Who wouldn't want one?

Recently, I found out one of my friend in school have this very special friend. His friend companies him to coffee shop for a drink, to jogging and pretty much do everything together. What a joy to have this kind of friend. I do not know whether they share secrets but at least he is seldom alone.

To be honest, I'm quite envy that friend (in a good way xD). I would love to have this kind of friend which could company me to wherever I go.

It's easy to find friends. There's this button in Facebook call 'Find Friends'. So, finding friends in social networks nowadays are just a click away. But it's no piece of cake to find true friends. I truly agree that true friends are God's gift.

True friends are...
I don't think I need to further elaborate this.

For me, true friends are those which you are most comfortable with. Or perhaps, transparent? They can see your weaknesses and strength and you could just be yourself around them. Also, the other way round.

What happens if you do not have a true friend?
Hmm... You'll become a lone ranger. Not in the sense that there won't be any people around you. You're lonely in the inside.

Power of Your Name - Lincoln Brewster

2011-07-10T22:30:00.000+08:00

Surely children weren't made for the streets
And fathers were not made to leave
Surely this isn't how it should be
Let Your Kingdom come

Surely nations were not made for war
Or the broken meant to be ignored
Surely this just can't be what You saw
Let Your Kingdom come
Here in my heart

I will live
To carry Your compassion
To love a world that's broken
To be Your hands and feet
I will give
With the life that I've been given
And go beyond religion
To see the world be changed
By the power of Your name

Surely life wasn't made to regret
And the lost were not made to forget
Surely faith without action is dead
Let Your Kingdom come
Lord break this heart

Your name
Is a shelter for the hurting
Jesus Your name
Is a refuge for the weak
Only Your name
Can redeem the undeserving
Jesus Your name
Holds everything I need

I just finish reading a post. Yes.. ONE post only. It's ONE CHINESE post. whew! I just wanted to understand more about what is going on in my friends' mind. Well.. It's not stalking.. But it's pretty much understanding.

After reading it.. I wasn't really sure what's going on in my friend's mind but better than just knowing what's going on on the surface. Sure a lot of people judge a person by looking at the physical appearance or what you do on the outside without knowing what is going on in the inside. Actually, it's pretty complicated in the brain.

No wonder some laws state that if a person did something without intention, then the person is not wrong (this is just the summary). So let's take an example, boy A is talking to boy B. After some time, boy A punched boy B. Next thing you know was they were fighting.

So as you can see... If you were passing by these two boys when they fought, in your mind, boy A was the bad boy. So boy A is guilty. But if you really understand the situation, maybe it is because boy B said something bad about boy A's mom or maybe boy B wanted to start a fight so boy A defend himself first.

"You can't judge a book by it's cover". Sound's cliche right?

You can never understand someone fully..

BUT..

If you want someone to understand you more you have to voice out to prevent misunderstanding.

Think more.

It's been quite awhile since I've laugh that mad. After I left abundant life worship team, phoebs and I don't really see each other that much often. Yeah my form 2 life in worship team is really fun. Phoebs always crack me up with loads of jokes. No, she's the joke. :P

so yesterday night she went outing with us. FINALLY. She cracked me up with jokes.. Except for all the laughs, my mind was filled with thoughts. Thoughts about how i changed from stress-free even when exam's coming to stress-full even when i don't need to be stress.

Letter to a 6-year Old Girl from God (Sort of...)

2011-06-02T22:37:00.002+08:00

A six-year-old Scottish girl named Lulu wrote a letter to God. It was brief but to the point:

“To God, How did you get invented?”

Lulu’s father is not a believer, but sends Lulu to a Scottish Church primary (“elementary”) school. Rather than ignoring her letter or choosing to answer it himself, Lulu’s father sent her letter to various church leaders— the Scottish Episcopal Church and the Presbyterians, who sent no reply;and the Scottish Catholics, who sent a theologically complex reply.

Thankfully, he also sent it to the Archbishop of Canterbury (Anglican), Rowan Williams, who sent this sweet letter in reply:

“Dear Lulu, Your dad has sent on your letter and asked if I have any answers. It’s a difficult one! But I think God might reply a bit like this –

‘Dear Lulu – Nobody invented me – but lots of people discovered me and were quite surprised. They discovered me when they looked round at the world and thought it was really beautiful or really mysterious and wondered where it came from. They discovered me when they were very very quiet on their own and felt a sort of peace and love they hadn’t expected. Then they invented ideas about me – some of them sensible and some of them not very sensible. From time to time I sent them some hints – specially in the life of Jesus – to help them get closer to what I’m really like. But there was nothing and nobody around before me to invent me. Rather like somebody who writes a story in a book, I started making up the story of the world and eventually invented human beings like you who could ask me awkward questions!’

And then he’d send you lots of love and sign off. I know he doesn’t usually write letters, so I have to do the best I can on his behalf. Lots of love from me too.

+Archbishop Rowan”

If you’re looking for a complex, tightly put-together apologetic, this is certainly not it. If you’re looking for a theologically comprehensive exposition of the Gospel complete with atonement theories, this is not it. This is written to a 6-year old. It is simple and humble and filled with tenderness. It is warm and personal not abstract and argumentative. There is no shaming of the girl for her question or the phrasing of it or the presupposition behind it. The Archbishop “sees” the little girl and writes of a God who “sees” her too.

Maybe there is something to learn from this approach…

Five levels of Leadership

2011-05-27T22:00:00.002+08:00

1. POSITION

Rights - People follow because they have to.

Note: Your influence will not extend beyond the lines of your job description. The longer you stay here, the higher the turnover and the lower the morale.

2. PERMISSION

Relationships - People follow because they want to.

Note: People will follow you beyond your stated authority. This level allows work to be fun.

Caution: Staying too long on this level without rising will cause highly motivated people to become restless.

3. PRODUCTION

Results - People follow because of what you have done for the organization.

Note: This is where success is sensed by most people. They like you and what you are doing. Problems are fixed with very little effort because of momentum.

4. PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT

Reproduction - People follow because of what you have done for them.

Note: This is where long-range growth occurs. Your commitment to developing leaders will ensure ongoing growth to the organization and to people. Do whatever you can to stay on this level.

5. PERSONHOOD

Respect - People follow you because of who you are and what you represent.

Note: This step is reserved for leaders who have spent years growing people and organizations. Few make it. Those who do are bigger than life.

Psalm 37

2011-05-22T15:53:00.003+08:00

Psalm 37

^[a]A psalm of David.

¹ Don’t worry about the wicked
or envy those who do wrong.
² For like grass, they soon fade away.
Like spring flowers, they soon wither.

³ Trust in the Lord and do good.
Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
⁴ Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you your heart’s desires.

⁵ Commit everything you do to the Lord.
Trust him, and he will help you.
⁶ He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,
and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.

⁷ Be still in the presence of the Lord,
and wait patiently for him to act.
Don’t worry about evil people who prosper
or fret about their wicked schemes.

⁸ Stop being angry!
Turn from your rage!
Do not lose your temper—
it only leads to harm.
⁹ For the wicked will be destroyed,
but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land.

¹⁰ Soon the wicked will disappear.
Though you look for them, they will be gone.
¹¹ The lowly will possess the land
and will live in peace and prosperity.

¹² The wicked plot against the godly;
they snarl at them in defiance.
¹³ But the Lord just laughs,
for he sees their day of judgment coming.

¹⁴ The wicked draw their swords
and string their bows
to kill the poor and the oppressed,
to slaughter those who do right.
¹⁵ But their swords will stab their own hearts,
and their bows will be broken.

¹⁶ It is better to be godly and have little
than to be evil and rich.
¹⁷ For the strength of the wicked will be shattered,
but the Lord takes care of the godly.

¹⁸ Day by day the Lord takes care of the innocent,
and they will receive an inheritance that lasts forever.
¹⁹ They will not be disgraced in hard times;
even in famine they will have more than enough.

²⁰ But the wicked will die.
The Lord’s enemies are like flowers in a field—
they will disappear like smoke.

²¹ The wicked borrow and never repay,
but the godly are generous givers.
²² Those the Lord blesses will possess the land,
but those he curses will die.

²³ The Lord directs the steps of the godly.
He delights in every detail of their lives.
²⁴ Though they stumble, they will never fall,
for the Lord holds them by the hand.

²⁵ Once I was young, and now I am old.
Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned
or their children begging for bread.
²⁶ The godly always give generous loans to others,
and their children are a blessing.

²⁷ Turn from evil and do good,
and you will live in the land forever.
²⁸ For the Lord loves justice,
and he will never abandon the godly.

He will keep them safe forever,
but the children of the wicked will die.
²⁹ The godly will possess the land
and will live there forever.

³⁰ The godly offer good counsel;
they teach right from wrong.
³¹ They have made God’s law their own,
so they will never slip from his path.

³² The wicked wait in ambush for the godly,
looking for an excuse to kill them.
³³ But the Lord will not let the wicked succeed
or let the godly be condemned when they are put on trial.

³⁴ Put your hope in the Lord.
Travel steadily along his path.
He will honor you by giving you the land.
You will see the wicked destroyed.

³⁵ I have seen wicked and ruthless people
flourishing like a tree in its native soil.
³⁶ But when I looked again, they were gone!
Though I searched for them, I could not find them!

³⁷ Look at those who are honest and good,
for a wonderful future awaits those who love peace.
³⁸ But the rebellious will be destroyed;
they have no future.

³⁹ The Lord rescues the godly;
he is their fortress in times of trouble.
⁴⁰ The Lord helps them,
rescuing them from the wicked.
He saves them,
and they find shelter in him.

Delivering Happiness

april 22nd, 2011 | personal, photography tips

Don’t laugh, but I just install iBooks app on my iPhone. Also ordered an iPad2, my first tablet and e-reader. It should arrive in May. Back to iBooks on iPhone. Back to iBooks on my iPhone…I started browsing the New York Times top 20 booklist. Downloaded a bunch of them on my phone. You get to read the first chapter for free to decide whether you wanna buy the book. Very fair, I thought.

I started with one of the top business book on NYT’s bestseller list, Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh. Forked out U$10 via iTunes and the book landed in my hand seconds later. I zipped through the book in a week. The CEO of Zappos.com, the largest shoes and apparel online retailer, with a turnover of over U$1 billion just sold the company for U$1.2 billion to Amazon. You would expect him to talk about how to make your first million before you reach 24. After all he co-founded LinkExchange and then sold it to Microsoft for U$265 million, 2 years after he graduated from Harvard.

Instead it was his mantra about creating a culture that leads to profit, passion & purpose that got me hooked. Here are the major lessons I learned from the book:

1. Passion over Security  
As a fresh grad working at Oracle, Tony was getting U$40,000 per year. Pretty handsome starting pay in the 1990s especially when you can finish your work in five hours. He wasn’t passionate about the job. Parents opposed the idea of quitting a stable job to start an internet company.   A sense of security can lull us into complacency. Sometimes the lack of security net are all we need to make our dreams work. There is no plan B, exit strategy. It’s sink or swim. I bet we would swim as hard as we could. Two years after quitting Oracle, Tony and his partners sold LinkExchange to Microsoft for U$265 million. A millionaire at 24.  

2. Know your Worth  
BigFoot offered to buy LinkExchange for U$2 million just five months Tony and his mate Sanjay started the project. A few months later, Yahoo came knocking with U$20 million. Ain’t a bad idea to make a few million for a few months of work. Eventually, they sold it to Microsoft for U$265 million. It is hard to quantity our worth. Sometimes it is a gut feeling. Just because we cannot justify an intuition scientifically or rationally, it doesn’t mean we should ignore it all. 

3. Fail your way to Success  
This is tough sell for Asians! We equate failure as embarrassment & punishment. Remember getting smacked for scoring 89 in primary school? “What happened to the other 11 points?” my inquisitor teacher interrogated. Guess why we copy others? To avoid failure!  Breakthroughs always reside outside the status quo. We cannot innovate if we insist on 100% success. Failure is part of innovation & growth. Reading Tony’s catalogue of failures freed me to embrace mistakes as part my journey to growth. 

4. Create Engagement, not Buzz  
Facebook & Twitter is about creating buzz for our business, according to a lot of marketers. “You’ve gotta tweet lots and post lotsa stuff on FB!” Buzz = Hype = Hot Air?  “My mother has no buzz but when she talks, I listen.”   That’s one of my favorite quote from the book. Creating buzz is like standing in a busy market, screaming “Buy here! Buy here!” The problem is a thousand other people are doing the same thing!  Why do we tell our friends about the best laksa place in Penang, coziest bed & breakfast place in Paso Robles, the most amazing book we read recently? Perhaps all these had engaged a deeper part of our beings. We can’t help but talk & tell others about it. Engagements are created by amazing experiences, not by dominating a conversation or talk the loudest.  

5. Building Friendships not Network
  I share Tony’s dislike for networking events where people swap business cards with hope the other person can help you out in business and vice versa. Instead, Tony prefers to focus on building relationships and getting to know people just as people…regardless of their position in the business world.  Stop looking at everyone as a $ sign, and start treating them with respect. “Would I be just as nice if there was no business interests in this relationship?” That’s my personal litmus test.  

6. Culture over Mission Statement
  Every company, school, church, and political parties have a mission statement. I wonder how many of these bold sounding statements actually change the organization or improve lives. Don’t favor code of conduct either because they sound too much like a inhibiting list of do’s and don’ts.   Meanwhile, Zappos build a culture based core values. For example, its number one core value, “Delivering WOW through Service”. With staff in the call center empowered to upgrade the standard shipping to overnight shipping, they wowed their clients who in turn rave about them.  

To prove a point, Tony’s pals called up Zappos renown customer service line at 11pm because they were hungry and couldn’t find anyone delivering pizza at those hours. I would have hung up but the Zappos rep came back with a list of pizza deliveries in the area of the callers. In a lot of small businesses, the DNA of the organization is only evident in the key personnel. Building a service culture that permeates the entire organization is a lot harder.

7. Customer Experience over Marketing
Zappos would rather spend money to improve customer experience than on marketing. They believe that a positive customer experience is the most powerful marketing. It is not cheap to run the warehouse 24/7 or to provide a 365-day return policy but it makes people happy. It is a crazy to run a business like that…maybe that’s why their customers are crazy about them? Can Zappos radical approaches translate into healthy profits and growth? Zappos board didn’t think so and wanted to oust Tony. Food for thought…

Please don’t think Zappos is this corporate utopia where everyone walks on cloud nine. In 2008 at the peak of the financial crisis, they laid off 8% of their workforce. Tony’s commitment to building a happy culture in the company was labelled as a “social experiment” by his board. That’s what I love this book, real stories of how Tony wrestle with economic reality, a resistant board, and his ideals.

This is not a how-to book on customer service but the stories of failures and successes of Zappos narrated in first person by its CEO. With a broad stroke of honesty, candidness & audacity, it inspires me to improve my customer experience and cultivate the LPS culture. I expected Tony to be slightly abrasive and cocky since he was this internet whiz kid who made millions at 24. However he came across as foolishly passionate and rather thoughtful person.

Effective today, Delivering Happiness has become a compulsory reading at Louis Pang Studio. Get your copy!

Multiplying Happiness

april 25th, 2011 | personal, photography tips

In my last post, I talked about how much I loved “Delivering Happiness”, so much so that I swooped an entire rack of it at MPH last weekend.

As I was about to reach cashier, a lady cut the queue. She didn’t mean it. I stood so far from the counter that she had no idea I was in line until she turned around.

“I’m so sorry.”

“It’s ok, please go ahead,” I replied with a smile.

My turn came. The lady and cashier were puzzled why a grown man wrapped both arms around a stack of books like a kid hoarding his toys.

“This is an AMAZING book. I am giving them away.”

She was puzzled. It is something I learned from my mentor. He has bought boxes of his favourite books and given them away as gifts to his friends. It has inspired me to do the same.

“Great! Do you have our membership card? You can get a 30% discount.”

Well mine expired.

“Why don’t you use mine?” Remember the lady that I let into the queue? She held out her membership card.

“Oh, thank you so much!”

As I paid for the books, it just struck me how random acts of kindness can be contagious. Touched by the generosity of my mentor, I started giving books away. From one book giver, there are at least two today. Ten other people are reading Delivering Happiness because someone touched me with generosity. Little did I knew that by being gracious to the lady that accidentally cut the line, I ended up saving myself a small fortune.

We all went home happier that day because two strangers decided to be kind to each other. Happiness can be multiplied.

this doesn't link to the post..

Why do i said photographers are cool people because they view things in a different view :) there is a quote said this but i forgot.. by david bailey i think.. I still haven't reach that level yet because it takes a lot of observing to see the extraordinary.. hope to be one day :)

it's only a dream..

2011-05-19T22:35:00.003+08:00

I NEED A VACATION. @.@ like get away from everything.. maybe i'll go to mexico.. someplace where i dont understand their language. i'll start from mexico, then travel south-east to panama.. or travel north-east to illinois. if i travel to panama, i'll end my journey in argentina.. If i travel to illinois, then i'll go to canada. if i still have time, i'll end my journey in norway (a place of isolation.. like really quiet.. according to my friend)

well you might think.. like whoa.. you need a lot of money to travel in this way.. i guess backpacking is my thing and maybe if i ran outta money i'll work like pluck apples haha

it would be nice if i can visit a guitar factory.. I'll learn how to make guitars.. and work there :)

Bryan, i guess we have something in common :) despite of your sanguine-ish character :D

ORI :)

WAIT

2011-05-16T20:37:00.002+08:00

It's the month of May now. 182 days to SPM. People questioning me why am I so nervous. No, because I'm not the only one who's nervous. People in my class are @.@ the same too. It's a sad case when I don't have the intelligence in studying so maybe I was pushing myself too hard.. I don't know but i don't think pushing myself is an ideal way of studying after getting the result's in the mid-term exam. It's quite strange that when i did not wake up 4am in the morning to study or stay up until late night, i got better results. But for those subjects I've put a lot of efforts in, I made it worse.

PAST. It's something you can't erase. I have past experience that were bad. Some were good, some were meaningful, some were holding me back. Even some will put me into tears no matter how long ago is it.

OK. Fine enough with all this. Time to move on. I guess I'll just have to be patience and wait for it. Yo, seriously, I couldn't wait for my SPM to be over. I just want to see what's ahead.

Tunggu la...

Jesus take the Wheel - Carrie Underwood

2011-05-15T15:06:00.004+08:00

Jesus Take The Wheel lyrics

Songwriters: James, Brett; Lindsey, Hillary; Sampson, Gordie;

She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati

On a snow white Christmas Eve

Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy

With the baby in the backseat

Fifty miles to go and she was running low

On faith and gasoline

It'd been a long hard year

She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention

She was going way too fast

Before she knew it she was spinning

On a thin black sheet of glass

She saw both their lives flash before her eyes

She didn't even have time to cry

She was so scared

She threw her hands up in the air

Jesus, take the wheel

Take it from my hands

?Cause I can't do this on my own

I'm letting go

So give me one more chance

To save me from this road I'm on

Jesus, take the wheel

It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder

And the car came to a stop

She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat

Sleeping like a rock

And for the first time in a long time

She bowed her head to pray

She said I'm sorry for the way

I've been living my life

I know I've got to change

So from now on tonight

Jesus, take the wheel

Take it from my hands

?Cause I can't do this on my own

I'm letting go

So give me one more chance

To save me from this road I'm on

Oh Jesus, take the wheel

Oh, I'm letting go

So give me one more chance

Save me from this road I'm on

From this road I'm on

Jesus, take the wheel

Oh, take it, take it from me

Oh, why, ooh

Love this song when i first heard it :) i think i should start explore my ipod.. stop listening to only chickenfoot, glee and orianthi. NO! not orianthi... she's excluded haha

in fact i should listen more to her songs haha

Quality #3: Commited

2011-05-11T23:29:00.002+08:00

THERE ARE NO HALF-HEARTED CHAMPIONS

Ordinary people with commitment can make an extraordinary impact on their world.

~John Maxwell~

True commitments is not an emotion; its a character quality that enables us to reach our goals. Emotions have nothing to do with commitment too, unless you connect them. Emotions go up and down but commitment have to be rock-solid.

Things that every team player needs to know about being committed:

1. Commitment is usually discovered in the midst of adversity.

The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender. -Vince Lombardi-

2. Commitment doesn't depend on gifts and ability.

We don't need more strength or more ability or great opportunity. What we need is to use what we have and be committed to it.

3. Commitment comes as the result of choice, not conditions.

When you choose commitment, you give yourself a chance for success.

4. Commitment lasts when it's based on values.

Anytime you make choices based on solid life values, then you are in a better position to sustain your level of commitment.

TO IMPROVE YOUR LEVEL OF COMMITMENT:

1. Tie your commitments to your values

Take some time to reflect your values to fulfill your commitment.

2. Take a risk

Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it.

3. Evaluate your teammates' commitment.

Just remember, there are no half-hearted champion. It's either your heart isn't where your passion is or it is where your passion is.

Quality #2: Collaborative

2011-05-11T23:13:00.003+08:00

Cooperation is working together agreeable but collaboration is working together aggressively.

Becoming a collaborative team player:

1. Perceptions

See teammates as collaborators, not competitors.
Completing one another is more important than completing with one another.

2. Attitude

Treat others better, they will create a collaborative relationship.

3. Focus

Concentrate on the team, not yourself.
True progress in any fields is a relay race and not a single event.

4. Results

Create victories through multiplication.

HOW TO BECOME A COLLABORATIVE TEAM PLAYER?

Think win-win-win. Proverbs 27:17~ as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.~ You win, they win, team wins.
Compliment one another.
Take yourself out of the picture.

i don't actually understand this but maybe i'll understand one day.. This is just a summary of this quality..

Quality #1: Adaptability

2011-05-08T14:31:00.004+08:00

There are a few interesting points in the book "17 essential qualities of a team player" by John Maxwell. well i haven't finish but the first 2 points are already interesting :)

1. Adaptable - adapt yourself to the team instead of wanting them to adapt you.

(i) Teachable: putting yourself into a temporary pain so that you will reach a new level

(ii) Emotionally secure: view challenges as an opportunity, not threats.

(iii) Creative: willing to take risk even if you blew it.

(iv) Service minded: Serve others, being in a team is not about yourselves.

How to become more adaptable?

Get into a habit of learning
REEVALUATE YOUR ROLE! (i think this is important..)
Think outside the lines - thinking not why it can't be done, it's how it can be done. (lee think how :P haha)

this is the 1st quality of a team player.. or perhaps, a cell group player..

evaluating your role in cg is important i think for everyone..

though you're not a leader.. still you are something..

just make yourself flexible :)

2011-05-05T15:29:00.002+08:00

buku yang sedangkan saya tengah baca :)

bukan semua lah.. satu ke satu

and one more..

chicken soup for extraordinary teens soul.

good book. buy it. it's worth it.

the power of Bieber

2011-05-03T19:57:00.002+08:00

during my exam, i realize that teacher gave us one less set of paper. so, i got up and ask for a set of papers. in my mind, i was thinking of the song by Justin Bieber, 'one less lonely girl', so i went there and i said, hey teacher you gave one less...(*lonely girl).. erm... paper.. i need one more set..

haha.. a bieliber...

2011-05-02T15:53:00.002+08:00

a picture i took with my phone..

it surprises me.

this picture doesn't looks nice on the computer. but it is in my phone.

labor day

2011-05-01T21:30:00.003+08:00

went to times book fair. books there were like super cheap.. there's this maxwell book i bought last time and it cost around 40 bucks and now.. 8 bucks!! haha so much difference

i bought a few buku :D 2 maxwell, 2 fiction and a... book.

i like maxwell's cuz he uses point form :) makes things easier

Rev. Lee's sermon today was quite interesting :) to sum it up:

indicators that you are running out of spiritual oil:

-anxiety

-busy/restless

-controlling

(hey, it's ABC!)

how to refill your oil tank:

-admit

-be still

-commit/prayer

(another ABC!)

and it's labor day so he ask us to rest so i went out today.. was planning to study but oh.. tomorrow la haha

wait

2011-04-29T23:24:00.003+08:00

It's good to wait when you are patience-less. I hope I am making some sense. There's a time for everything. EVERYTHING. (this doesn't connects to my next point @.@) Currently, i can't wait to take my braces off, i can't wait for karate saga games to be over, i cant wait for when nothing can disturb me while i'm studying, i can't wait for SPM to be over.. most of all, i can't wait to see what lies ahead of me..

questions like whatcha gonna go after form 5? why don't you take a-levels? what do you wanna study? =.= like MAGAIGUI YOH!!! it's quite early to decide now cuz young men change interest almost everyday.

everyone has their own desires. so whats mine? yea oh.. whats mine? a good question.. well time will come.. stop being so phleg-gish erics!!

i can't wait to see what my next acoustic looks like :) the TIME will come

LIFE

2011-04-24T22:38:00.002+08:00

LIFE is.. a lot of things.

Depending on who you are, where you are and how you are, this mysterious thing we call life can take on many different meanings. To some, life may be an endless string of challenges, while to others life is a constant source of happiness.

Life is an Adventure. DARE IT.

In order to conquer, what we need is to dare, still to dare, and always to dare.

~ Georges Jacques Danton~

Life is a Song. SING IT.

The history of people is found in its songs.

~George Jellinek~

Live is Love. ENJOY IT.

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

~Eden Ahbez~

Life is a Promise. FULFILL IT.

The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.

~Earl Nightingale~

Life is too Precious. DO NOT DESTROY IT.

When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live you life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.

~Cherokee Expression~

Life is a Game. PLAY IT.

Life is not a spectator sport. If you're going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what goes on, in my opinion you're wasting your life.

~Jackie Robinson~

Life is Struggle. ACCEPT IT.

God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change things which should be changed and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

~Reinhold Niebuhr~

Life is Sorrow.OVERCOME IT.

The only use of an obstacle is to overcome. All that an obstacle does with a brave men is, not frighten them, but to challenge them.

~Woodrow Wilson~

Life is an Opportunity. BENEFIT FROM IT.

High achievers spot rich opportunities swiftly, make big decisions quickly and move into action immediately. Follow these principles and you can make your dreams come true.

~Robert H. Schuller~

Life is a Dream. REALIZE IT.

Follow your own particular dream. We are handed a life by peers, parents and society, you can do that or follow your own dreams. Life is short, be a dreamer but be a practical person.

~Hugh Hefner~

Life is a Challenge. MEET IT.

Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.

~Muhammad Ali~

Life is Beauty. ADMIRE IT.

When I admire the wonders of a sunset or a beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of a creator.

~Mohandas Gandhi~

extracted this from a table calender. though i do not understand some quotes but still some of them are very true :)

Melancholic- Overview

Like the Sanguine, the Melancholic is also easily excited by things. However, unlike the Sanguine, the initial reaction of excitement is weak, but the impression remains long and grows stronger by subsequent impressions of a similar nature. A person of this temperament is inclined to deep, thoughts and reflection, dwelling the past, looking ahead to the future, is very profound, finds meaning in just about everything, and is not satisfied with the superficial. The melancholic is driven by laws and principles. The melancholic is most comfortable alone, and in silence. He/she is very introspective and always sees life from a serious perspective, often feeling burdened and brought down by temporal affairs. Melancholies are commonly passive, reserved, irresolute, despondent, lacking courage, slow in thought and speech. Melancholies despise the lime-light, and would rather withdraw and let others receive recognition, even when they are praise worthy.

Melancholic- The not so great Characteristics

Easily falls into mental distress and this can be extremely intense. The melancholic, more than any other temperament, has keen awareness of moral right and wrong, and has a deep longing for morality. They are inclined to despair, intense expressions of grief, and occurrences of depression. This can result in self-pity, and he/she may become a burden to friends and family. He/she can also lose confidence in others, specifically superiors; there is a loss of trust and respect when the melancholy becomes aware of a fellow man's weaknesses and faults. The melancholy vehemently desires justice, and forgiveness of offences is hardly an option. He/she is suspicious, lacks trust in people and fears that everyone is out to get him/her. He/she is pessimistic about everything.

Melancholic- The wonderful Characteristics

Loves solitude and is often productive in solitary hobbies encompassing the fine arts, liberal arts, crafts, writing, analytics, drama, contributing deep and profound thoughts and ideas to poetics, philosophy, science, and legislation, etc. There is a joy and a relaxation that results in the melancholic devoting time to these activities. Melancholies are excellent counselors to friends, encouragers, give great affirmation when necessary, they are trustworthy and genuine. They are willing to make extreme sacrifices for the sake of others.

Get It Right - Rachel (Glee Original)

What have I done? I wish I could
Away from this ship goin’ under
Just tryin’ to help, hurt everyone
Now I feel the weight of the world is
On my shoulders

What can you do when your good isn’t good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
‘Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow

But how many it times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right
To get it ri-igh-ight

Can I start again with my faith shaken?
‘Cause I can’t go back and undo this
I just have to stay and face my mistakes
But if I get stronger and wiser
I’ll get through this

http://www.hotnewsonglyrics.com/glee-get-it-right-lyrics.html

What can you do when your good isn’t good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
‘Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow

But how many it times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right
To get it ri-igh-ight

So I throw up my fist
I will punch in the air
And accept the truth that sometimes life isn’t fair
Yeah, I’ll send out a wish
Yeah, I’ll send up a prayer
And finally, someone will see
How much I care!

What can you do when your good isn’t good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
‘Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow

But how many it times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right
To get it ri-igh-ight

:') speaks much...

discover and created

2011-03-31T22:13:00.004+08:00

there's this belief among the people.. maybe its because of davinci code i'm not sure. but they said that isaac newton created the solar system or something.. i never watched it. haha.

one of my free thinker friend in school asked me about the creation. well i told him about God's creation. and soon after some stories told, he asked, then why when newton saw the apple fall from tree and he thought about gravity? well.. there's a BIG difference between discover and created. God created gravity and newton discovered it. IT"S A BIG DIFFERENCE.

:D

2011-03-31T16:37:00.002+08:00

CHALLENGES

2011-03-30T22:17:00.002+08:00

2011-03-03T22:50:00.004+08:00

as usual... i went to see the dentist again...

was on the chair for 1 hour with my mouth open which is pretty uncomfortable.. he put a big rubber thing on my mouth, so and so..

Injection for me is a normal thing.. x-ray too.. i've lost a few teeth.. filling holes on my teeth is something normal.. waking up in the middle of the night and take pain killers..this became somehow a part of my life..then i start questioning God why do i need to suffer this kind of pain.. why can't i have his/her teeth... etc etc.. even the dentist said he felt sorry that i have to suffer this.. i was born that way.. eventhough i brushed my teeth everyday.. but God always reminds me that Jesus has suffer even more pain.. maybe a zillion times more than my oral pain.. he can't take pain killers... cuz there's none..

well and one thing is.. i suffer these pain for myself.. it's for my own good.. so that in the future i will have healthy teeth.. but Jesus suffer for us @.@

so... just be grateful :)

east vs. west

2011-02-06T17:29:00.004+08:00

watched glee. again :) but i skipped a lot of acting.. i listened to the songs only :)

don't worry.. i completed what i suppose to complete ;) my homeworkkkkk

i don't know is it only glee or is it the western culture. they strive to get to sing a solo, do everything to get the center of the attention. but WE asians do everything not to get the best part. but in the heart we wanted the center of attention. so its like a complete hypocrite. or maybe i dunno.. just some of them? just something came to my mind when i watch that

or also for humility? good or bad? i dont know... different people different culture..

Orilash!

2011-02-06T17:24:00.003+08:00

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ1BqBYtaPg

check it out :)

Praise God

2011-01-22T15:02:00.004+08:00

:D as you know... what do you know? :P

this morning i went to our school marathon run :) i praise God for everything.

this time.. it's my first time to be so focus on this long run. normally, in the middle of running, i'll think about all sorts of things.. from guitar to chicken, chicken to hungry stomach, stomach to biology, bio to somewhere out of this earth... but this time.. all i think about is the checkpoint, my breathing, the card and finally.. the destination.

i praise God for.. putting this song to me :) Your arrival. this song has been running in my mind for the whole race. i followed the beat with my steps and it really works :)

i praise God for self-control. i don't want to pressurize myself and also not to let myself feel lazy.. so i decided not to look back. sometimes i tend to look back and see if anyone is chasing up. i never looked back or to the ground. i just look forward and trying to reach the destination :)

i praise God to for giving me perseverance.. surprisingly, i never stopped or slow down!! i'm quite amazed and i think all of these above is from God. not from myself. i never train myself to not to look back, or not to think about chicken, etc.. God is truly there.

before the race i was pretty stressed because the fear of not getting anything. i kept on praying to God saying i'll do my best and let Your will be done. if didn't win then nvm coz i can't change my circumstances.. (and also one thing.. i've dreamed about this race twice and in my dream i didn't get anything.. i know this sounds ridiculous..) before the race/on the starting point Madeline Foo gave me a hug and said.. don't worry God is with us.. ogeh.. keep calm.. heart beat please slow down..

and when im almost at the ending line i thought i will faint.. maybe i am overly stressed.. or maybe im too tired.. and i'm sick too.. turns out to be fine.. i registered my name, took some juice.. then i'm fine.. :)

He can do everything beyond what you think but not beyond your limitations.. that's what i think.. nevermind if you don't agree :P. Praise God :)

f.a.m.i.l.y

2011-01-21T20:40:00.006+08:00

i changed my guitar strings. and so i showed my awesome work to my dad haha and i tried to play it too.. in front of him haha XD how brave :P then he took his classical guitar and started to improvise my chords. okay, next we stopped. My dad suddenly played the GIVE THANKS church song. a bit like plucking + picking. so it was nice. and i added it with some chords :)

so yeap a simple 2 guitar 3-minute 'jamming' session (sorta) finished. i went into my room and on the way i saw my violin lying there.. then (lightbulb!) an idea came like a rhapsody but not really one haha.. i'll see if one day i will make it work :)

next i tried to play and learn how my dad played that song.. in my room. i figured it out myself worh :) it's nice la but not smooth enough.. still a long way to pass mark.. :) gonna brush it up :)

ok here's the funny thing.. not suppose to be funny. when i played the chords of GIVE THANKS, i think about my family, how my dad and i "jam"... it wet my face and thinking that.. i'm so vulnerable when it comes to family. like sometimes when my sister left me alone in kyrugma house.. maybe she's thinking that i can take care of my own.. but oh well.. i cried @.@.. oscar was there haha

family is a blessing from God but maybe some of you might don't like your own family but you can't change your circumstances but you can change your attitude to gratitude. does this make sense?

i'm thankful for my family :)

I DON"T KNOW ABOUT YOU.. BUT I"M PRETTY TOUCH BY YOUR SIMPLE ACTS :)

2011-01-19T21:48:00.002+08:00

yea he's a really awesome guy.. although sometimes a bit of mischievous.. and who's constantly bullying me :P he is really a good guy.. a nice man :)

@.@ i dono why am i talking about him but he's really nice deep within :) can see that he loves his family.. trying not to play too much of dota.. trying to be humble.. but sometimes unintentionally hurt people's feeling.. then suddenly become a good guy apologizing.. haha.. XD

truly.. he will become an awesome friend.. like by everyone around him :)

ok had a great time during training haha XD yeah it was fun and tiring.. it was worth it la..

recently i had too many feelings and it feels pretty confused and i hate it... surely i have gained what i desire.. but i've lost much other precious... things that money and time couldn't buy..

so what good is in it? not that the thing i desire is not worth more than my time and money.. yes it is worth much too.. but the things i've lost is pretty much.. much more than anyone can think of..

im not sure where i belong now..

im not sure why am i posting this.. im so sorry if you think its wrong to

songs

2011-01-11T22:24:00.003+08:00

another tiring day.. yes i'm so tired.. to be able to stay awake, i need to do what i like.. so i did it and im awake now but still i need some rest..

sent cathy off.. i'm missing her. i donno what to say la..

recently, a few songs i've listened and i find it nice :)

Go - Love Drunk - Boys like girls

Feels like Home - Believe - orianthi

the musical arrangement in 'Go' is really nice and soothing..

feels like home is nice la.. no explanation :3

a few glee songs are nice too :)

the only exception

i want to hold your hand

Lucky - i love it when sam and quinn sing :)

one Love - super the nice la this

teenage dream - acapela very nice :)

just the way you are - ok i'm not day dreaming now.. but i think all the ladies out there would want their 'the one' to sing this to them :P

the time of my life - i think i like all the sam and quinn songs..

this is not really a meaningful post ahaha.. just to share what am i listening to

August Rush

2011-01-10T21:46:00.002+08:00

A couple days ago, i watched this movie call August Rush. Not in cinema for your information. It's a pretty old movie and i actually like it :) apart from the very good looking actor, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, the movie is awesome. for me :) the intro for the movie is amazing and it says about listening to the sound of music. Everything around us is sound if you listen.

Music is something that connects i think thats what it says..i lupa the quote.. oh the message quite obvious la.. a young woman and a young man came together by music.. and its really amazing when you see how they came together in the end.. wowwweeee i think most of us would like to find our own the one like that :)

see it for yourself :) music lovers will like it.. but i think others will find it boring.. :P

i need to be in bed now.. oh im on bed but no asleep yet.. so yah..

i am blogging coz i did so much homework throughout the day and i feel a little stressful cuz our teacher forced us to do something very beyond our limit.. but yay i did it!

i really should be sleeping.. i've been working since morning. ok. end.

stay strong

2011-01-08T23:25:00.000+08:00

it's a week after new year now :) my class is awesome.. it's better than i thought i would be :) challenges keep coming.. yeah like new challenges.. like when my classmates are kinda talkative and you couldn't stop it.. or when i feel like talking to someone but i couldn't, or when i wanna be all alone but people just keep coming in, or im having a hard time to have courage to talk to someone.. or lots of tough decisions to make..or when i really need to talk to someone but cant.. (like just now D: find other time la haha)

well i.. problems are okay right? i have no second thoughts now and i want to finish this soon..

wait. before that. i was playing on stage on friday worship practice and suddenly daniel wong just came into the hall. and when i looked at him, i saw his strong look. then suddenly i thought about the recently break-in news.. and then i look back his awesomely strong look :) and yes, the radiant face like stephen in the bible. stephen kah?hopefully im not wrong :) if im him i don't know where am i now..it's.. DANIEL IS SO STRONG.. he is still so strong after all this and i was touched.. really touched.. tears coming out but someone else suddenly came out and ask me about the key :P so i tahan :3

conclusion is just to stay strong :)

hello how did u survive the holiday season. you have a new years resolution?

2011-01-08T23:02:00.001+08:00

if im reading this then yes.. i have a month resolution la hmm can say few months la.. not sure whats ahead.. anything can happen :P

Ask me anything

updates lo

2011-01-05T15:23:00.004+08:00

School :) Pretty well better than I thought. At least not that bad. The homeworks are neither too many nor little. The teachers are better than last year's because they teach in a better way based on my view.

So I went to a meeting at school just now.the coach said we're gonna be training every afternoon @.@ Wow. Someone asked them to sponsor sunblock for us. I'm gonna be pretty fit.. I hope after all this :D

But first.. i need to focus on how to improve my breathing in running then I'll worry about the school competition. What if I didn't get into school's competition and I won't even be in any other bigger competition. So basically small or mini competition is actually pretty important :) Like if you didn't do well in your semi final you wont be even in final. So, focus on the present, because the future will worry itself. hmm.. Is this from the Bible? I think so :) That's what I've learnt in the previous competition :) I'm pretty excited :)

Well, it's the third day of our devotion plan. Jeson and I :) The first day went well as we've expected but 2nd day.. erm... we both overslept so we missed it and luckily i had time and i redid it yesterday afternoon. This morning went just fine. Wow maybe because of this I always have a great day :) Example, today I thought the Malay teacher will be very boring because yesterday she was actually boring. But she turned out to be interesting.

A quote that really stuck in my mind is praying is staying facedown until God tells you/answer you -not what you want God to answer you. hmm I guess it's around there because i didn't memorize it.. I'll check back for confirmation..

and whee!! i got a new bible :) it's pretty big.. but it's white!

rekindle flame :)

2010-12-30T20:42:00.003+08:00

rekindle flame was pretty awesome! :D we had loads of relaxing time and... etc etc etc

okeh apart from that.. before the camp, the main thing was God gave straight answers to me which is so awesome :) and before the camp i was praying hard for.. Him speaking to me.. like whatever He wants to tell me.. so yes He did :D

yeah i'll just share some la cuz there's a lot :)

the second night during the hmm.. i dunno how we call that la.. after worship and b4 the sessions we prayed and worship then ps matthew came to me and asked me how can he pray for me :) and i was kinda shock and a bit blur too haha then i answered him too :) next he explained something to me then yah he prayed for me lo :) (this is the shocking part.. read on) then he started to tell me all my current problems in church and yea like @.@ wahliuw... he dunno me at all.. although i heard some similar cases like this but now im experiencing it.. it was amazing laaa.. and i believe that it wasn't him speaking.. it was God speaking through him :) cuz what he said was a bit of beyond human's ability.. like mind or words

there's more but no.. im not gonna type a long post :)

okay.. dari segi worship team..one thing that is nice in this camp is.. calvin said you can make all the mistakes you want and learn from them :) i felt nice and relieved.. i made less mistakes and i played more things :) i manage to save some mistakes but not all.. haha (one of them is a mistake yang BESAR haha) maybe you're thinking that i don't really make mistakes during eklektos celebration.. but no you're wrong.. i do make mistakes.. like a lot until i don't dare to play anymore.. like strum the normal chords only and not doing any new stuff

if im a rockstar and i have a manager like this.. this is awesome!!

How do you think the world would be...without you?

2010-12-29T21:57:00.001+08:00

@.@ i don't exist? but we are all created for a purpose so i really don't know how to answer this haha

Ask me anything

this morning i woke up with dizziness.. and i told my mom... mama.. i don't wanna sit for SPM oh... she said then what do you wanna do? donno.. just don't want SPM lo.. haha nah.. gotta keep moving on..

next i told her.. i had a 'nightmare'.. (well not exactly a nightmare) i ran and lose in a marathon. she said.. oh.. is it why you don't wanna sit for SPM? i said no lah... nothing nothing nvm haha

actually i feel afraid.. oh but i shouldn't.. =( really fail oh.. i failed to finish the super boring novel this holiday... hey wait.. hmm.. still have 9 days maybe i can finish it?? :) :D my sister finished it in one day haha

hmm.. just asked my dad to find a new sensei for me :) hopefully the new sensei can bring me to black belt la.. i want to get black madly and i am afraid of failing because in all the upgrades i never failed so maybe it's kinda hard for me to accept.. a mindset of this isn't good.. :(

i listened to this ps. jaeson ma's song like for the whole morning and yes.. he said about failing too.. so yeah.. i dunno what to expect now..

i've been forcing myself not to hunch back.. my purpose is to maintain a good posture and not let my spine or ribs disturb my heart.. oh well.. you know when you hunch your heart beat was interfere so and so.. gush gush gush.. a lot of side effects..

i think the main problem is my bone la.. having not enough calcium.. i drink milk every morning haha and eat cheese o_o hopefully it will help..

need to jog more to increase my bone density..

I DON'T WANNA RETIRE FROM SPORTS!!

updates

2010-12-06T21:23:00.003+08:00

just feel like updating blogger since i didn't update for quite awhile..

recently.. yeah i've switched cell group to e3. yup new family. i don't know what will happen with me or either that cell group with me.. oh as in am i helpful to them or just another piece of "junk"(haha as in bad).. but i'm happy too because MAYBEEEE i can find someone i truly trust in e3? or even better someone who can mentor me?

i'm working on a project about my journey in e1. not only mine but the members too.. i wanted to pick a song which really connects me to e1 but the timing isn't right and so and so.. so yeah i'm still brainstorming..

calvin's gonna meet up with me and some other people tomorrow.. hopefully it won't be something bad @.@

wish us luck in DATE :) need to pass ps. Noah's level then we can perform..

some other updates :D

God do stuff in a special way.. sometimes i find it weird coz it doesn't even make sense.. well sometimes laa like yesterday i was praying before i sleep then i got a very weird picture..

a very HUGE man.. those american with long nose lying down beside a pyramid. then there's a lot of little people beside him and yeah then like suddenly the man changed into a statue lying down. im so @.@! like wahhh what is God trying to say? or it's just my own imagination but i think think and ask God for more ask ask then think think again.. still don't know what is it.. hmm if it's my own imagination.. but this is like so outside of my brain.. i watched a TV show today saying about human's brain. it says even you get hypnotized, others cant get you to do something you don't usually do. Example i don't smash and paint guitars. then one day i got hypnotized.. and a guy asked me to paint and smash my guitar into pieces... yup it won't work..

amazing eh? God made our brain that way you can't change..

so was thinking and thinking.. yea even i am typing this now it made some sense..

coz i was praying for faith. i really need faith. i have very small faith and hopefully can have bigger faith one day..hmm read more of His words?

MAYBE it was telling me that little people can take a giant down when you trust God

like David and Goliath.

wow Goliath is so hugee like ten times of me.. my size laa

and i don't really get the pyramid thing..

i still don't know what does it means haha.. if Joseph exist today i might wanna find him :)

and also once just when i was about to say Amen suddenly a picture pop out.. a very weird picture too.. if you're interested to know then ask me i really don't feel like typing anymore haha

so what i want to say is God do things in a very special way..

What do you think is the best way to defeat terrorism?

Living in light

2010-11-25T22:02:00.002+08:00

yesterday, this verse had slapped me on my face. waking me up.

^{1 john 2:9-11}

⁹ If anyone claims, “I am living in the light,” but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is still living in darkness. ¹⁰ Anyone who loves another brother or sister is living in the light and does not cause others to stumble.¹¹ But anyone who hates another brother or sister is still living and walking in darkness. Such a person does not know the way to go, having been blinded by the darkness.

yes.. hatred cause you walk in darkness.

not saying that im walking in darkness.

but i'm not sure if i'm walking in light. there are still lots of things in the bible saying walking in light i haven't found out yet.

i'm not hating anyone. and i don't want to.

but im sure YOU are walking in light.

wherever you go, angels are around you and protecting you. i'm so touched by some thing that had happened to you recently. i just hope that i can even have 10% of you. You truly are my role model.

when i heard what has happened to you, this verse came out my mind again. slapping my face again. hope that im wide awake now.

lead me to the right way O LORD...

why you feel leftout?

2010-11-15T22:18:00.001+08:00
