Beautiful woman of God

HE SET ME FREE :) – A poem shared by Wai Lin :)

You are Beautiful
You are beautiful
Everyone in heaven agrees,
Nothing more or less
Just as He intended you to be

Woman of God
Walk with confidence
Stand strong,
Jesus will fix everything that is wrong

He made you what you were supposed to be,
It's time to for the chains to be loosed
And you go free

I feel your pain
I know there's been rejection,
But there's someone for everyone
Without all the perfections

So why try to be someone else,
When God has a blessing
For you, yourself

Every good
Every perfect gift comes from above,
Not through our own attempts
Deception and false love

Don't let anyone tell you
You're not good enough,
Because everything God made
He made for Himself

You are fearfully and wonderfully made
That's what God said,
If you would have taken the time

Opened your bible and read
A silly woman, is not what you're ordained to be,
But wise and virtuous
Like a living tree

Believe it
A virtuous woman lives inside of you,
Use your potential
Move out of the way
Let her come through

Like Sarah, Rebekah
Esther and Ruth,
Love God beautiful woman and speak the truth

It's not worth the toil
Neither the fight,
When a man uses you for his own pleasures and delight

Nothing but hurt, pain, and sorrow
I'm a witness,
Sin starts off sweet
But it ends with bitterness

Worn out and left for dead; is what you will be,
All bound up with chains
With the need to be free

Woman of God
Jesus has so much more for you,
Don't let the devil destroy you
With what you're going through

Rise to the occasion daughter
Shake off the dust,
You are peculiar
As precious, as a diamond in the rough

Real beauty
Is defined from within,
Not what people think about being fat or being thin

Outer beauty or fancy attire
Is not what it's all about,
But love, peace, joy
And to praise God with a shout

You are beautiful
Everyone in heaven agrees,
So stand strong woman of God
He knows what your end will be

Quote of the day

2011-08-15T22:25:00.001-07:00

I do not believe that man can't live alone. Imagine waking up to the chirping of birds and the raindrops outside the window. Isn't it just perfect being so close to the nature? However, many a times there are many things that we are called to be responsible for and also to care for. We do not live in a world where we are alone. We have no choice but to not be alone. And that is also how God has created us to be. To be around people. I guess at times people are just so scary we prefer to do things and live alone. I guess it is back to preferences. And of course knowing what is your purpose in life. We do not live to just enjoy life, but to make the best out of life for God’s glory and also for the benefit of others. Love your God thy God and love your neighbour as yourself. There are no commandments greater than this. Don’t let your flesh control how you lead your life. Let God be the Master and the rest will fall in. AMEN :)

有些事情开始时是甜蜜的。但是经过一段时间之后，酸甜苦辣把所有的感情带到一个终止。有时很单纯的以为一切能回到像以前一样完美。但后来才发现失去的不只是单单一个，而是更多。后来想回，虽然事情是如此，但不代表我一定要被这过去的事而影响。既然以成为过去，过去也是自己不对，那就静静的吞下这口气。虽然我还是坚持不是完全我的错，但是我知道没有人会了解。看来我现在明白被人嫌弃的感受。一直以来，我一直尽量要全部人都觉得舒适以及能适应。现在我却感觉到我须要想办法参进。哈哈。想起来好可笑。但是我现在决定了。我不再要把精神放在这里。因为我知道这里不是我的容纳之处。所谓的另一边的草比较青。那我就跳过去啦。哈哈。美好回忆你就留在这里吧。全部的角色在这里才能把他们真正的演艺演得好。过了那一边便是另一个角色了。哈哈。我变成了导演啊。 *高兴的笑了一下* :)

I have no idea why but i’m attracted to Prima Media movie even though it has been ages since the movie was out. Watching it again brings me back to my childhood time. And the songs are just so emotional that I like it so much.. Girl talking. hehe.. anyways, this is the lyric for this song :)

走在繁华的城市里

错综复杂的关系

偶尔会让你心窍鬼迷

谁能真正互诉真心

谁又不曾为了名利感情而着迷

倘若我们能回到最初的原点

或许这份感情就能永恒不变

倘若我们能回到最初的原点

或许彼此之间不会有句点

As I was just chilling in my room, I found something to do. Stalking. Proud to say i’m a stalker. hehe. I don’t know how others consider wanting to know how an old friend is doing is, some consider stalking some say its caring. Whatever it is, i just did it. haha.

Slowly memories unfold. As I walk through every memory I have, I realize all memories may it be small, big, happy, sad, I treasure every single one of it. There was no regret in going through each of it. The only thing that really hurts is the outcome of it. To lose a friend… thats what i’m talking about. I have gone past the stage of regretting what happened, knowing what happened brings us to another door. It is not easy to have a friend, furthermore first true friend i ever had. The commitment to be honest to one another and to go through each trial and challenges together, the promises made to hold on to each other no matter what happened.. It was all gone because of a decision I made. I’m not regretting of making the decision. I am feeling sad that I lost… a friend.

I know there is nothing I can say nor do. For I have hurt my friend too much. I sincerely apologize, even though apologizing will not bring back the friendship we had. I believe it will not be easy for my friend to trust or even to forget. The only thing i can do is wish my friend all the best. In finding the true life that is ahead… I wish you well my friend.. being who you are to people are around you. All I can say is… you will forever be my friend, even if it is one sided. I look forward to seeing you in heaven… Be there. Remember to not waste your life away but to chase after what is eternity. You are so much more than what you are now. Find it and make it happen. Be changed by the Holy Spirit as you seek Him everyday.

Thank you Lord, for everything you have given me in my life. I believe there are more to come. Thank you thank you and forever thank you!

When you receive Jesus, from then on God sees the righteousness of Jesus in you. He sends the Holy Spirit to live in you, and now you can be close to God. You can speak to Him and hear Him speak to your heart. The Holy Spirit helps you to pray, and God hears and answers, not because of what you deserve, but because of what Jesus did.

Continuation from another adventurous day… :)

2011-03-27T03:19:00.001-07:00

So… I got on the train…

Empty train!

Haha… first time in my life ktm is empty! Happily I board the train and wait for it to move..

As we pass stations, people start boarding the train. Normal scene right? However, at the station before Bukit Badak, something feels wrong… Oh no! This train is the mix coach! Not ladies coach! No wonder everyone is looking at me bit funny… somemore I’m the only Chinese inside..

NEXT STOP> Bukit Badak. I quickly get up and thought of changing coach. I went out the door…walk pass one door… and oh no! the door closed!!! yikes! that means i’m stuck for another half an hour for the next train!

While waiting…

See the third picture? There is an indian temple there. At that hour, I heard songs coming from the temple. around 7 something. It was a scary experience. I’m totally surrounded by disturbing people. By that, i’m referring to the motorcyclist and cars that passed by and whistle and horn.. Freaked out! But thankfully i’m inside the station which is wired up as shown in picture 2! ahah. thank God for that. As mentioned before, i’m the only chinese again there. haha.. what an experience. So with all these experience, I reached home 9.30pm.. Adventure eh? haha.. Really thank God the next train came even though the time shown changed. Thought I had to wait for another half hour. pengsan later in bukit badak..haha..

~END~

Another adventurous day… :)

2011-03-17T08:29:00.001-07:00

Today I had a two days transfer to help my senior out with Conso. This place is located in Port Klang. First thought would be..

“Oh my… how do I go there?”

Thankfully my senior say he would pick me. Nevertheless, the journey involves transiting again with LRT. The going part is not that adventurous (only BTS-MJ-WM). Coz he will pick me up from WM and go there using Duke-NKVE. One hour ride it is Salute all auditors for making such long trips everyday

The exciting part is the going back part…

At around 6pm, my senior sent me to Port Klang KTM station. It was a really nice place. Quiet. You can look out to the sea. The station itself looks really old but really nice. Somehow.. Then comes the lala-ing part coz the train is due for another 20 minutes..

Of course, lala-ing of the station

Signboard…

Older signboard…

And even older older!

You can roughly estimate (or if you want a straight forward way, google it ) how long ktm exist. Now… proceed with the next lala-ing…

Faded platform numbers!

Tut-tut train that we always play with!

Time time time… bt the train never reach on time

It is time to upgrade or improve the train Everyone always complain this and that about ktm. But… When you think about it, to actually upgrade, who is going to pay the money? With so many train on hand, they have to dig out gold to be able to improve. So instead of complaining, why don’t someone either contribute money or contribute idea and energy? aint that more helpful than chi-chi-cha-cha chi-chi-cha-cha? Do something!

Now.. the real lala-ing…

I’m touching the rails!

Lala-ing! The camera facing the opposite side but take picture behind.. the wonders…

To be continued…

Precious blood…

2011-03-17T08:04:00.001-07:00

I was just browsing my e-bible when I came across this..

Psalms 72:14

He will rescue them from oppression and violence, for precious is their blood in his sight.

This got me thinking about blood…

How precious blood is to human being. Without it, we are totally just skin and bones. It is the blood that brings all the nutriens through the veins and organs. It is the flow of the blood that actually determines the healthiness of a person.

Think about it, without nutriens and the important vitamins, how do we survive? without oxygen that flows with the blood, how will our body functions? Even hospital always asked for blood to rescue people.

Every drop of blood is just so precious. So precious some are even willing to sell blood to live or to live luxuriously.

Now think about this. Blood is used to sustain a human life and also it is used to rescue people.

So what does this have to do with the verse? You see, Jesus Christ shed His blood for us in order that we may be cleansed of our sins. Nowadays, people are so used to the word sin to them it is nothing. There is no big deal or hooha about it.

Some may see it as ‘we are humans, we will sin.’

Yes, human nature tends to be weak when it comes to obeying laws and doing what is right. For man and women are rebellious creatures. This has been shown in Genesis, the first book of the bible and throughout the bible as well. But are we to continue letting ourselves drown in this very human nature that we know is wrong? Deep down inside we know doing what is right is what is pleasing to God and also what is right. I don’t believe in the saying that we can never change. We can change, with the help of the Holy Spirit. It is by the grace of our father that we are able to change and repent and come humbly before him. We will not be perfect. But we will try our very best to be Godly in all ways.

Imagine someone actually shed his blood for you to cleanse what you did. If you say, ‘I didn’t ask him to do it.’ He wanted to do it. Yes, he wanted to do it. Because God loves us so much.. how can a father see his sons and daughters continue to do wrong and later rot in hell? No father would ever do that. So now, it is up to your choice to choose to accept or not. Its a personal choice which you have to make in your one life.

Blood… gives life and saves life. Remember how Jesus gives up his life for ours and it has saves our life.. Its as simple as that. What do you have to lose to find out for yourself what this is all about? Nothing.

T.H.I.N.K

30-mins walk?

2011-03-16T07:28:00.001-07:00

Today I got adventurous and guess what I did? I become tourist with a big heavy laptop bag and shoes that are not meant to be travel in… location?

Adventurous ey? It was quite fun. haha. At least when i get to Titiwangsa station and the LRT that reach is totally empty I got a seat to bandar tasik selatan

The place where I call home…

2011-03-16T07:07:00.001-07:00

I wonder…

When I’m far from home, where do I find home?

Will there ever be home for me?

I keep asking this question…

So far I’ve found no answer.

When I’m outside, I feel that I’m always under someone else’s roof.

I don’t dare to feel home, for it is temporary.

I feel like i’m interrupting.

No matter how much assurance given, I still don’t feel at home.

I’m scared. I feel my life to be very unpredictable and very challenging.

Things are very uncertain. Just like how the waves tossed about in the sea.

Then I think again, aren’t life suppose to be like that?

Unpredictable, challenging, but yet full of promises for God’s children?

Trust. Faith. Growth.

Thus, I have found my answer. However tough it may be, I know i’m not alone.

I may not always feel like everyone. I may not always be like everyone.

I may not be the common. I may not even be normal.

But I will always be me.

And who am I?

I am Esther, the tigress and mushroom head from Kuching.

Who by the grace and mercy of God the Father has been saved from sin and born again to live a new life pleasing to Him.

Great power and majesty and honour to our King of Heaven and Earth.

He shall reign forevermore!

Ants INVADED my(oops… I mean my coursemates’ room!!!)

Praying for the Fullness of the Spirit

That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height — to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:16-19)

For those who are wondering how to be filled with the Spirit, the prayer in Ephesians 3 offers excellent insight. The precise relevance of this passage for our present subject is obvious, when the concluding purpose of the prayer is noted: "that you may be filled with all the fullness of God."

The opening phrases use the language of grace: "That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory." Grace is about God at work, giving us blessings we cannot deserve. These blessings are in proportion to His glorious spiritual riches. This perspective fits our studies on the Spirit perfectly, because when the Holy Spirit is at work, He pours out God's grace.

The initial request pertains to an inner working of the Spirit: "to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man." Note, this request is made on behalf of those who already have the Spirit residing in their hearts. The specific issue is about receiving new measures of spiritual power at the core of our being.

The desired result of this work of the Spirit is "that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith." Jesus is present in the heart of every believer. Here, He is being asked to settle down fully and make Himself at home. Jesus is being given free rein to rearrange our innermost being to fit His good pleasure. Allowing Jesus to rule our hearts requires the empowering work of the Holy Spirit to break past spiritual obstacles such as apathy, fear, self-focus, and temptations. To allow Jesus to lead us in His way, we need the Holy Spirit enabling us to stay in God's word, to pray without ceasing, to worship daily, and to fellowship regularly.

Then, as Jesus rearranges our inner life, He wants to anchor every aspect of our lives in God's love: "that you, being rooted and grounded in love." With this, He wants to us to experience the dimensions of His love, which are beyond mere head knowledge: "to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height — to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge." This Holy Spirit process is always leading to more spiritual fullness: "that you may be filled with all the fullness of God."

Dear Father in heaven, I humbly cry out to You every word of this majestic prayer. I earnestly desire the reality of its every implication, all by your Holy Spirit, Amen.

AMEN!

RESULTS OF BEING FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT

Be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God. (Ephesians 5:18-21)

When a person is filled with the Holy Spirit, what will the results be in his life? What evidences will develop to validate the work of the Spirit in fullness? In some church traditions, which give considerable attention to the fullness of the Spirit, limited evidences are stressed (such as those mentioned often in Acts: tongues, prophecy, or boldness). The full biblical picture is much larger than this viewpoint.

Ephesians 5:18-21 is a classic example of the scriptures broad perspective on this subject. In verse 18, the command is given to "be filled with the Spirit." The subsequent verses (19-21) list the spiritual consequences that will follow in a life that is characteristically Spirit filled.

When a believer in Jesus Christ is living in the fullness of the Spirit, he will be led and empowered unto fellowship with, and ministry to, others: "speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs." These words fit those times when believers gather together for spiritual celebration through music. Some of the music of the church is directed toward other believers in the form of exhortation and edification. A Spirit filled Christian will be involved in "one another life" in the body of Christ.

Closely related to this, however, is the essential presence of a worshiping heart: "singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord." Genuine fellowship and effective ministry flows forth from an inner life focused in adoration upon the Lord Himself. A Spirit filled Christian will be a worshiper of the true and living God.

Further, when a disciple of Jesus is filled with the Spirit, his life will typically overflow with thanksgiving: "giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." The world and the flesh produce complaints and dissatisfaction. The Spirit of the Lord stirs gratitude and appreciation.

Additionally, servanthood submission is a common attribute of one who is Spirit filled: "submitting to one another in the fear of God." Natural humanity wants to control people and exercise mastery over them. The Spirit of Christ, the servant of all (Matthew 20:28), brings forth humble service from those who revere the Lord.

Father, I bow before Your command to be filled with the Spirit. This I need; this I desire. Lord, forgive me for times of isolation and selfishness. Flood me with Your Spirit unto fellowship and ministry. Forgive any lifeless religion in me and fill me unto true worship. Forgive my griping and complaining and inundate me unto thanksgiving. Forgive my desires to rule and fill me unto servanthood, through Christ, I pray, Amen.

Lessons Learnt

2011-03-06T06:12:00.001-08:00

Know…

Today, the sermon by the pastor(which I forgot his name again,oops..) was on God on the move. A few things that was emphasized here is…

> The importance of Prayer (This reminds me of this song…)

For everytime i pray, i move the hands of God.

My prayer does the things, my hands cannot do.

For everytime I pray, the mountains are removed,

The paths are made straight and nations turn to you.

> Unity (Though there may be disputes and all, it is still important to keep together and stay together as brothers and sisters in Christ)

> Pause (Through the busy times in life, it is always good to pause and think. Pause and see. Pause and give a hand. Pause and be there for someone)

A good messenger

> ever ready to take advantage of an opportunity to preach the Word

> Walked in his redemption

> Boldness in preaching

> Willing to share what we have

> Bears fruit

Ingredients of good message :

> God glorifying message

> Highlights significance of RESURRECTION

> Jesus’s name is important

> Identifies sin – They delivered up Jesus(to the Gentiles for trial)

- They denied him in the presence of Pilate

- They denied the Holy one and the Just, and asked for

the release of a murderer

- They killed the Prince of life

> Grace in preaching

> Prophetic (Confirming what is in the past is fulfilled)

> Repentance

Realize…

As the pastor preach, Henry turned and told me, its true. Back in my place, the pastor preaches really dry sermon. Sermon that does not have content and dry. Then I realize, how fortunate we are to be able to hear sermons that are filled with the Holy Spirit and from God. To think that part of the world actually do not have the chance, it is saddening. Be thankful, for we are in a country of freedom of religion. The importance of spending time reading the Word and spending time with God Treasure it. And what’s most important of all, you yourself have to realize where you are with God Don’t let the busy-ness of the world take up your time with God and serving God.

Persevere…

Another good news I heard from Henry! Leo’s mom accepted Christ yesterday! They have been praying for her for around 10 years. Now she is saved! To those out there who have relatives who still have yet to accept Christ or know Christ, don’t give up. Nothing is impossible with God God’s timing is always right. God will not abandon his people.

~ To God be all Glory, honour and power, forever and ever, AMEN~

God is GOOD! :)

2011-03-03T05:22:00.001-08:00

God is GOOD, ALL THE TIME,

ALL THE TIME, God is GOOD!

Know it! and make sure you remember!

Though the time maybe short, but even in this short period my God has provided me with all necessities. Prepared me with all necessary skills, meet the right people at the right time and arranged for everything to fall into place without me realizing it.

I’m currently under a ‘FISH’ company. cool eh? I don’t get to count fish. I get to audit the fish company. haha. Just previously I was planning for transportation. Now i’m on the way to fish! I wonder… hehe.

I’m so thankful for everything. God has planned my journey for me. Changing to another client with a senior who actually stays just one road down makes my transportation issue settled for a week. haha. and this senior also is a close friend of my previous’s engagement senior. haha. how small can the world be? What else am I worried off when God takes care of me?

TRUST. FAITH.OBEDIENCE.

Things fall into place when you surrender your life to God AMEN!

Dissatisfaction

2011-03-02T06:32:00.001-08:00

D.I.S.S.A.T.I.S.F.A.C.T.I.O.N

This is a very common word i believe everyone knows of BUT yet not everyone admits it. Today itself, I came to realize all around me there are dissatisfied people who grumbles and complains.

Just.never.SATISFIED.with.what.they.have.

Events that happen(BACKWARD)

‘I just found out that the company have decrease our mileage claim from 100plus to 70km. It is also stated in the email that they want to standardized the mileage claim to 70km. How can that be? And why would they want to do that? We can’t lie with mileage. It is fixed. Of course when i found out i’m not happy.’ – Half correct I think. Wasn’t listening fully.

‘I don’t like my job. I can’t stand it. I want to quit’. – This i hear everyday. I have to admit almost every working person will say this once in their life unless they really love and have passion for what they are doing.

‘In the business world, everyone is very stingy and very calculative. I know the working world. How did the rich people manage to climb up the ladders? By being very stingy and not holding on fully to the word TRUST.This is business world.’ – quite true nowadays. But I still believe there are very truthful and real people out there who are still doing well with their business

These, I believe are part of the conversations all over the world. Materialistic. Never satisfied with what they have and wanting more. That’s why when it comes to Money and God, you can never have both. Either you live with satisfaction with what you are blessed with or you continue to chase for worldly material things which is endless and meaningless things. Yes, I know money is important. But wherever in the bible say you must work for money? Like what the phrase say, we eat to live, not live to eat. So, I believe I agree more with ‘we work to live, not live to work!’

WHAT SAY YOU?

Little little things around…

2011-02-28T07:48:00.001-08:00

As I step into LRT, I saw this person sitting there, looking so familiar..and Oh! Its Shu Hon! haha. I was shocked to see him and him to see me as well so randomly in LRT. talked bit. realized he is doing something totally unrelated to his field. But Form 6 helped in his current job. Thanks to Ms Sim

As I said farewell to my one time coincidence with Shu Hon, I step out at Bandar Tasik Selatan and as usual, climb the staircase to reach to the exit. I saw this lady walking slowly up the staircase. Something told me to do something. But what? My heart calls me to do something. But I don’t know what and in the end I didn’t. I walked pass and continue on my way. At the back of my head I thought, ‘What if?’ There are chances of me actually stopping and help or even talked. Why didn’t I? I keep looking back at her but I did not take any action. I am such a pathetic person

As I exit the LRT, I walked and wait for my transport. In front of me I saw this two girl(no race is mention to avoid any discrimination, but gender is of no issue here as probability of this happen to both gender is equally high). This two girl, talked and laughed nonstop. This was not the part that caught my attention. It was their actions, towards each other. I would understand if this scene were to happen to a couple(though I would disagree of over PDA(public display affection)). But to two girls??? I think I would not explain further to avoid any imaginations which leads to sin in the mind. This is how open Malaysians are nowadays. I agree with brother Michael when he say that some fashion that we have here is worse than in overseas. Some actions we see here is worse than overseas. *Probably you may think I’m just too outdated but its my blog

While waiting, my attention shifted to another guy by the rubbish bin. I believe he is the one who helps to sweep and clean and take care of the cleanliness of the LRT. He was throwing away rubbish when he took this umbrella and look at it curiously. I continue with my observation. He took the umbrella, gently pat away the dust, and open it. He looked and checked. Everything seems ok. Finally, he took it out and place it outside the rubbish bin. This makes me realize, how many rubbish that ain’t rubbish have we disposed of everyday? Many people live without all these and here we are disposing like no one’s business. Ain’t it such a shame.

*This is just an update. Nothing much. Please do not try this at home Lesson learnt, always take action when there’s a chance to help others. Be watchful of your words and actions as it causes others to stumble. Lastly, be very careful with the way you treat things you have as there are others who do not have these blessings Good nite!

Neways, this post is on the stress of exam. Or should i say, pre and post exam.

I will let the pictures do the talking. Pictures tell a thousand words. So pay attention

Hello books!

It started with…

Don’t I look studious here? Searching searching searching… Oh my. Have I really studied all these? I’m SUPERWOMAN!

My eyes! so many words! It’s not processing…

ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT

That’s IT

Sleep is still of utmost importance.

I wonder, how is it that studying can be…

…when its suppose to be

???

I guess it is still up to your own judgement when it comes to this.

In the end, this is what people come up with…

When stress, anything comes into mind. Mostly I would say its desperation that cause all this. How can study be what is mentioned as above?

Haha.. but but… NOW the third year first semester exam is over! haha.. by3 by3 exam and hello kuching… BON ADIOS!

HAPPY HOLIDAY TO EVERYONE! :)

Traffic light?

2010-05-19T09:05:00.001-07:00

Traffic light is like our life.

GREEN means go.

YELLOW means prepare to stop.

RED means STOP.

So… how exactly is the traffic light in our life?

GREEN

When we are suppose to go, do we go? or do we just stay where we are? This has always been something that we are not sure. Some may be so adventurous they think in their life everything is green light. Some may be always worried to the point they always have no green light in their life. So what are the consequences? Too adventurous leads to risk unforeseen. Too cowardy leads to doors that are remain closed.

If this is the case, when exactly is the green light in our life? How do we know when to go? Ponder upon it.

YELLOW

This is another light that is very important. There has always been signals or intuition or warning for things that happen around us. For traffic light, it means to beware of the red light and prepare to stop. For us?? Well, it applies too. There are so many times in life where yellow light appear. But do we heed it? Do we actually take into consideration the yellow light? Many of us see the green and red, but not the yellow. However, it is mostly this yellow light that leads you to the right or wrong decision. This could be advice or your intuition also.

RED

STOP! STOP! STOP! how many times have the red light blink in our life? the frequency of it blinking even increases to the point it stops. or worse, burst. But still, do we take the slightest notice of it? Just like people who dont stop at red light (which i experience recently), going past red light, freaked me out. Not just that, it comes with insecurity. My mind was going, ‘OH NO! What if there’s another car who bang into me? What if there is police? What if what if?… Endless what if and insecurity. Why do i want life like this? This feeling portrays the feeling of the criminals, always living in fear of being hunt down or shot. Just one of this small mistake, it will haunt you for life.

I have to admit. I have both 3 lights in my past 22 years. I’m suppose to be living in fear, not knowing when is my turn to be caught. Not knowing when accusation will be thrown to my face. Not knowing when my mistakes will be revealed. FEAR.

FEAR? I believe everyone have their mistakes. Everyone has their past. Well, as said, PAST. If you want to carry it with you for the rest of your life, be my guest. But there is a way out, which i was revealed to. You may ask, ‘WHAT? What does this have to do with getting rid of fear?’

God has given us a choice. He has sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins. If he has taken our sins, that means we are free from it (only if you choose to believe and to ask for forgiveness through prayer and follow him by living a Christ like life). And He has given us a choice to come to Him. How many of us actually have the chance to come before a King or son of a King? Well, now we have. We have access through our Lord Jesus Christ. However, that does not mean we can continue to sin. Yes, Jesus Christ took away our sins. But God is holy. He cannot tolerate sins. He has said that there will be JUDGEMENT DAY. Therefore, remember the traffic light in your life. Remember what Jesus Christ had to do to save us. Remember nothing comes for free. A price is paid. I am saved, by the power vested in Jesus Christ, whom God has given to redeem us by cleansing us of our sins. AMEN.

Who’s the conqueress!!! I AM! :p

2010-05-14T07:21:00.001-07:00

To begin with, this year i conquer a few things… :)

I’m a conqueror of spicy food! so i thought… hehe…

at the moment i had curry maggi, beef curry noodle, prawn noodle, and laksa. but none satisfying than cup curry maggi :p (MW say curry maggi not good enough. must try tom yam.) one day, when i am craving. so far nothing has been nicer than maggi curry :(

LAKSA KUCHING

and and and…i made polo bun! ahha..though not 100% successful, but at least i got edible buns. and its not that bad :)

E POLO BUN

what else what else, actually got quite a few but not as significant as i conquer my spciynness phobia and also me finally getting down to baking! haha… at least the starting my holidays is heading somewhere :) more to come… if i get down to actually buying all the ingredients. hehe… yum yum… satisfied but will grow fat :( guess it comes in one. happy holiday people! :)

* I realize i have been generalizing things a lot and saying things without thinking…oh my mouth! need some polish and discipline :) holiday is just the way to do it with eating more and talking less. haha..

BIG DILEMMA

2010-05-12T17:58:00.001-07:00

I want to ask, “HOW?”

I was talking to someone.

She was planning to do her usual ritual practice. worshipping the gods of the kitchen. I ask,

Why do you need to worship the gods of kitchen?

To ensure the whole family is safe and no harm may come to them.

How do you know the gods of kitchen exist?

It is something ritual that have been done since my ancestors.

But why have to do every end of the month?

There are two. One for gods of kitchen one for ancestors. It is something carried down and inherited.

Why do you need to worship the dead and burn fake money and present all the food before them?

This is all true. When they are up there, their souls will need clothes and food. At times when they need all this, they will send a message to you through dream. If you want to know how they are, can ask the ‘lo tang’ people. They are interpretor of the gods above. They can help to bring message to you and let you know how they are.

So… how? It is so different. Its hard to actually relate. I mean, if you would think about it, souls, we believe there are souls. But, why do humans need to burn things for the dead? Why do the dead need things from the world? haha. No offence to people who practice this. Just a food of thought for the day. My humble mind can’t comprehend all this. Please enlighten me on this issue :) I am jus curious. hehe..

THIS is a TESTIMONY

2010-05-05T08:43:00.001-07:00

Ok… i have to say… this should not be repeated… haha… but i have to say this…

God is good to me… a few days back…on Saturday night (1/5/2010), it really freaked me out. I was anxious and seriously worried. And when this happens, usually i lose my focus.

Situation : Test on tues and wed

Problem : I haven’t touch my book for those two subject

Challenge : Going for cave expedition

On saturday night, i came back…with a heavy heart. I told my coursemates i haven’t start studying. They were like, WHAT?!? it got me really anxious.

I sat down, told God, “God, i’m really sorry for not planning my time well for this time’s exam. I ask for your forgiveness for not focusing for this exam. But Lord, you know what this trip meant to me. And i didn’t do it for the sake of fun. Now, i just want to surrender this into your hands, knowing there is no way i can do anything, and if i was given a choice, i would make the same one again. Father, i pray that i will be able to focus, be able to finish studying. Let me have peace at heart and don’t be anxious. AMEN.’

Hehe. and amazingly, for the first time, i was able to calm down and study. yes,i study till late night. But, my focus was there. you know the feeling when you study a while and can’t get more into your head? That didn’t happen this time at all. ahha.. God is amazing isn’t it? No I don’t use God as last minute resort. He is always there. AMEN for that.

And for the two papers, amazingly i came out earlier. ahah. of course with the last minute studying, i don’t know what i will get. and i don’t dare to expect too much. But, i believe what i deserve is what i will get :) God is good, all the time. Don’t believe me? get to know God. Don’t look for God when you want Him to help you settle stuff. Look for Him, because you know you need Him. Without Him, there will always be an incomplete part in your life :) Yes or no, your choice my friend..hehe.. WHAT CAN YOU LOSE? you tell me..haha..

Raining…. flies and fish? o_o

2010-04-28T21:18:00.001-07:00

yesterday it rain! hooray! haha..but it made me so sleepy i didn’t get to study much :( *regret regret*

but but but…today…i have a story to tell. or more to a discovery :)

in the toilet…

now i’m starting to wonder…why do these flies appear during rainy season…then after one night all of them fall on the ground? what is the purpose of their existence? yet to be researched…when i finish exam and get down to doing it, i will find out.. ADVENTURE awaits… :)

not enough not enough…another discovery…

on my way down to the canteen for lunch… at the LONG WINDY staircase to my beloved hostel, SAUJANA, i found this…

believe me! this is not a cooked fish! look at the blood..look at the skin… what on earth is this doing on the staircase? did it just rain fish? whats this? end of the world? see the sky is like starting to get dark… (haha..this part i just made it up). you know like in a movie..the sky will slowly get dark… ahah… anyway..back to the fish…

so fishy on staircase…how did it get there? a mystery.

and and and…the cat that pass by…sniff sniff…then never eat it pun…now cats don’t eat fish?

muahahahhahahahahah….i’m crazy… :) interesting world we are in…interesting in good and bad way…depends on how you live in it :) have fun studying people..or to those who finish (ish!) have fun holidaying :)

Importance of naming beneficiary

2010-04-18T20:18:00.001-07:00

http://nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/articles/23epf/Article/index_html

2010/04/19

NAMING beneficiaries to your Employees Provident Fund account will help prevent any dispute in claiming the money you have left behind.

It is an assurance that your savings will go to your intended beneficiaries, and in the process, expedites the payment to your loved ones in the event of your death.

In the interest of securing the future of your loved ones, you are encouraged and advised to specify the name of the individual or individuals you intend to leave your savings to.

Q: So how do I nominate?

A: Making a nomination is easy. All you need to do is complete the KWSP 4 (AHL) Form and submit the form to the nearest EPF office. The form can also be downloaded from the EPF website at www.kwsp.gov.my.

Q: Can I name more than one nominee?

A: Yes, you can name more than one nominee to receive your EPF savings upon death.

You are required to list their names in KWSP 4 (AHL) Form and specify the percentage that each beneficiary will receive.

Q: Can I change my beneficiaries?

A: Yes, and you should do so whenever circumstances change, such as marriage, divorce, additional new members or the death of a nominated beneficiary. To change your beneficiary, simply complete a new KWSP 4 (AHL) Form. This will automatically cancel any earlier nomination made.

Q: Who can be authorised as a witness of my nomination?

A: Anyone aged 18 and above can be the witness of your nomination, provided that he or she is not your nominated beneficiary.

Q: What about nomination for Muslim members?

A: For Muslim contributors, the beneficiary named can only act as an administrator/executor who will be responsible for distributing the savings of the deceased to the rightful heirs in accordance with the Faraid Law.

Q: Does a will supersede a nomination?

A: No, it doesn't. If you have made an EPF nomination, your nominee(s) shall be entitled to your EPF savings regardless of what is stated in your will.

By the same token, a marriage or a divorce will not revoke any EPF nomination made. As such, it is imperative that members update their nominations should the need arise.

Q: Can my nomination be revoked?

A: Yes, your nomination is automatically revoked upon the following circumstances:

- Upon the death of the nominee during your lifetime;

- By notice of revocation made by you as contributor;

- By subsequent nomination made by you as contributor;

- Upon making age 55 withdrawal; leaving the country; making the incapacitation withdrawal, and pensionable employees.

Q: What happens to my EPF savings if I fail to nominate?

A: In the absence of nominating your beneficiaries, the EPF will pay the savings of the deceased to the next of kin that in its opinion, has the right to receive the savings.

If a contributor's EPF savings were less than RM25,000:

- Initial sum of RM2,500 will be paid to the next of kin.

- The balance will be paid after a two-month period from the date of the member's death.

If a contributor's EPF savings is more than RM25,000:

- Initially, a sum of RM2,500 will be paid to the next of kin.

- The second payment (not more than RM17,500) will be paid to the next of kin two months from the date of the member's death.

- The balance of the savings will be paid upon submitting the Letter of Administration/grant of probate/distribution order/Faraid certificate from the party that administers estates such as Amanah Raya Berhad, the court or the Land Office respectively. The process of obtaining these documents is time-consuming in addition to requiring fees to be paid. Nominating beneficiaries to your EPF savings account is essentially free.

Q: Can I check my nomination?

A: Yes, by visiting the nearest EPF office and producing your identification card/MyKad over the counter for verification purposes. Alternatively, you can write to: Nomination Unit, Registration Section, The EPF Petaling Jaya Office, EPF Building, Jalan Gasing, 46598 Petaling Jaya, Selangor. You are required to mail a copy of your identity card/MyKad together with your letter.

Q: When will payment be made to my nominee?

A: If you have made a nomination, immediate payment will be made to your beneficiaries upon your death.

<b>For further enquiries on how to nominate, please contact the nearest EPF office or log on to www.kwsp.gov.my.</b>

Flash back

2010-04-15T20:21:00.001-07:00

I remembered. At Penang Hill. A man once told me. “Start praying for your future husband. That wherever he is, that he continues to grow in the Lord. And that the Lord will keep him from falling or sway.” That man was RT.

I did. A silent prayer. That is what does it all :) At times things least expected happened. And things that you expect backfired. haha.at least it applied to me. and i wonder why… Life is full of wonderful mysteries..some yet to be unfold :) be ready…for anything (the good and the bad).

No one say life is easy. But we can always be sure that we are not alone in all things. Someone is watching over us :)

A scary experience for me, but an edifying testimony for theresa

2010-04-14T17:01:00.001-07:00

Taken from her sister’s blog : http://melancholythongs.blogspot.com/2006/06/my-13-yr-old-sisters-testimony.html

Theresa’s testimony

So here is her testimony in her own writing. I’ve skipped typing in Day 1 to shorten it; otherwise it is as unchanged and is as she wrote it. But I think she herself shortened it a lot as well, I see a lot of details missing like how she bumped her head real hard and how everyone was constantly checking her dying pulse, made an ‘A’ framed stretcher with wood from the jungle along with other stuff. I’m waiting on my younger brother who has the other side of this testimony as he carried her out the woods and how he saw things from his side of view. But here’s my 13 year old sister’s testimony first:

EYM Youth Camp

Before I attend the EYM Camp I was reluctant to go thinking that I will not get any benefits from the camp but somehow my brother registered me in. I went mad about it. He passed me the form and told me to fill it. I was thinking that why would I fill it, for I did not want to go. Somehow I felt that something was going to happen so I just fill it

(Sunday) 2nd Day, the day the incident happened

I woke up at 4:00 a.m. and waited for everyone to wake up. We had the ‘Egg Roll Call’ and the ‘Morning Physical Exercise’ by Lieutenant Abner Jerip. After the breakfast was ‘Sunday Service’. Next was the ‘Long March 1’ which was in a jungle. We were all heading to the waterfall which was very tough for there were hills, slippery stones, rocks and logs.

On the way back I slipped on a rock and fell hard into the water. As I fell down something shot up into my left leg. It was so painful and I started to cry. I could not breathe and my hands were shaking badly. As they put me on stretcher I knocked out, My surroundings were white except the sky. I could only hear and hear those who were around me even though my eyes were opened widely.

Then came this part when I slowly started to lose my breath. My heartbeat was very slow. Then I saw a white figure looking down on me from the sky saying ‘Theresa, you can do it. Do not give up for I am with you.” When I hear those words I tried my best to breathe. Unfortunately my heart stops for quite a time. Then I felt somebody on me. I mean when a person’s dead she or he cannot feel, hear, breathe, see or do any living person can do except I did. It was my soul. My soul was on me encouraging me not to give up. Then I felt my heart was on fire. It was hot and painful and I started to breathe again. Praise God for that. I’m alive!

Followed by was a time when I felt fire all over my body. It was so extremely hot. It felt like I’m in hell. I struggled to free myself. I heard prayers over me too which gave me the encouragement to carry on. Additionally as we were near to the farm house I started to laugh. I laugh because I was in a garden with God. It was a very beautiful and peaceful moment for me. Plus there were these kids who were clinging onto me and smiling at me. God was also encouraging me not to give up and saying that there were people who were helping me.

When we reach at the farmhouse I opened my eyes for a while wondering where I was and closed my eyes. A few seconds later I felt somebody push me up from the stretcher and I saw God. He told me to take off my bandages, get up and walk with Him. I was so excited and happy to see God. I started to scream that ‘I want to see him! I want to see God! I’m healed! Why wouldn’t you let me go hug Him?’ James and Maclean asked me who’s him and it took me quite a while to tell them that God was just behind them. Then I opened my bandages by myself and Maclean help to cut the shoelaces which were holding me back to the stretcher. And I got up and walked. I went up to God and hugged Him. Moreover he also pass me a message which is ‘I love you all no matter what. You are blessed. Use your life well. Do not ever give up. Have faith always in me.” After that I hugged everyone and passed them the message God has sent to me.

When we made the decision to walk back, I felt something under my feet (for one shoe was used as my pillow and the other was lost so I was without shoes). Something very soft and warm. Furthermore I saw white footsteps guiding me and a voice saying ‘Follow My steps, Theresa. Even if you slip I trust that you can pick yourself up again.’ So I followed even though there were times I almost slipped. Praise God!

I was happy that I’m a live for I’ve ever intended to kill myself many times. But God showed everyone plus me a miracle and a lesson I’ll never forget. When you surrender to God do not surrender half of yourself, surrender your whole to Him. Have faith no matter what. God loves us all. So surrender yourself to God now. It’ll be hard to cross your first hill but God is by your side and you can do anything with God by your side. God Loves You!

2010-04-14T16:53:00.001-07:00

Haha. Last night someone brought up about marriage. This morning, there i was, flipping through the bible and saw this few interesting issue on marriage (mind you, this is a woman’s bible ok.so guys, dont think it is not applicable to you.haha..it goes both way)

How can i prevent financial issues from becoming stumbling blocks in my marriage? (Matthew 6:19-24)

Treasure your husband (treasure your wife)

There you are in the department store-face-to-face with an unbeatable sale! Yet you know the money in your purse is allocated for dry cleaning and that you agreed not to charge anything on your credit card. Still, you need this blouse (pants), and it normally sells twice as much. If you buy it, what will you tell your husband(wife)?

Financial accountability in marriage either can be a burdensome obligation or a sweet gesture of unification. When you and your spouse agree on spending limits, treasure him so much that you won’t violate your agreement.

Of course, some days you won’t feel like treasuring him(her), especially when he violates spending agreements. That’s why your marriage vows made before God help. On those days, you can ask God for a willingness to honor agreements with your spouse.

Money issues often pose tough questions: Do I serve God and treasure my spouse, or do I serve my desires to own more things and spend more money? Too often, these questions are dismissed lightly with words, such as, Look at how much I saved! But there’s a deeper issue involved. Who do you serve? Who do you treasure?

Good Words to remember:

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also…You cannot serve both God and mammon. (Matthew 6:21,24)

P/s: this are lessons learnt that are put as examples in the bible that i have. haha.mind you it is not the scripture. only those with verses are the scripture. and i definitely did not write all this.

Many people nowadays might not be worrying about money as they have high-end job or they are hardworking or they are given the money by parents. But this is not just for money issues i guess. there are more to just money in a relationship and marriage. :)

Photos

They are memories captured which touch the hearts of those who remembered

But how is it that even i’m touched so deeply even though i was not there?

As i flip through the photos in front of me

I realized

Where am i?

I began to ponder

And found out i took the road not taken

A road that is much more deserted and lonely

I wouldn’t say i regretted

but it’s different

The feeling of actually being on the road and thinking about the road

being humans, there are so many things that i want to achieve and yet i didn’t

I blame it on limitations

but when i look back

its not limitations

its me

time to wake up to a new revelation

and make a difference

it may not be in my expectations

may be higher or lower or even heading towards a different direction

but i’m moving

not because i want to (bit la)

but also it is time

hearts are moved

the fire is burning

lets go!

Water

2010-03-31T07:12:00.001-07:00

Have you ever came back from outside, walk into the bathroom, and realize there’s no water coming out from the pipe or shower? have you ever try walking around looking for water…trying your best to track where the gushing sound of water is coming from? have you ever face the dilemma of no water? I just did…all that just happen to me…

I dont know why..but this is the first time i realize i’m so afraid…not afraid of no water only, but there is something else that bothers me. How penang would be like in a few years time? Why my dream distrubs me so much? I know all these may be just the effect of not sleeping properly…but what if its not?

Signed off,

Esther

Experience speaks for itself : Melancholy Thongs

2010-03-27T11:11:00.001-07:00

This is an article i came across in one of my sis’s friends blog.so just to share… :)

I thought long and hard while I had my leisure shower. I have been doing a lot of thinking (or worrying rather, since that puts things in a clearer context) and I am mentally tired. Of course it’s self inflicted, you allow yourself to be worried.

I decided to put this post up to serve as a reminder to myself and those of you out there who may find this relevant to your situation. I gathered some of these through experience, some from reading and listening to people from all walks of life. Do note that everyone is different; one mans meat could be another man’s poison and this is MY view. Your view may vary, so please use your own wisdom to sieve out what’s irrelevant.

Marriage is all about endurance, long suffering and hard work. It’s no honeymoon from then on and is bigger than a relationship: it’s now a partnership. I don’t believe in divorce and Marriage is NOT just a license to have sex; it is a lifetime commitment, compromise and constant battle to strike balance between each other along with their differences.
When you argue and it seems like nobody is ready to listen, answer, “point taken,” instead of that long blasting sentence you were ready to spew in blind anger. It’s good to acknowledge you heard their opinion, even though you’re not ready to agree with them. They, on the other hand, just want affirmation – at least they know you will think about what they just said.
Start with yourself. Even if you’re butt lazy like me who depends on other people to set the example first. Can’t just sit around and wait and feel sorry for myself. Be the example coz examples are easier to accept. With time who knows, they might catch on. Remember it is a partnership, never let things drag you or your faith and hope down. Allow down times, but take turns. Don’t break that bond with God coz He is what's holding you two together. So try not to end up BOTH feeling down and unable to support the other.
You may talk the talk, but remember to walk the walk. Don’t preach what you cannot do unless it is not your sermon. Examine yourself, if you are a testimony, before you advice others.
Count to 10 when mad… Try … and please take time to THINK instead of spewing whatever that comes to mind first. Chances are you may blurt what you don’t really mean. Take time to practice how to place your words. You’d be amazed at how the other can perceive you on a completely different perception (e.g. “I’m sorry I hurt you” and “I’m sorry you’re hurt”).
Give benefit of a doubt that if the same thing gets repeated complaints, perhaps I should look into it? Humble myself coz there’s a chance I could be wrong or maybe something I missed? The only time a person really learns is when they are willing to listen
Quality time is important. And quality here means undivided time. Multitasking in the background is not giving undivided time. Quality time is when you have your full focus on the person (Gary Chapman). Quality time is very important in a healthy relationship. Make time and stick to it.
Try to be more positive and take a positive approach to the situation. Sometimes things are not as you assume. And nobody likes continued negative approach.
Make a point to say nice things to each other and learn to listen more. Acknowledge and be attentive to improvements coz some of us run on appraisals to feel loved and need to make our efforts known.
Pray, pray, pray and praise God that help is already on the way. It is always good to have a positive mindset. Better that, than losing hope and not telling the problem that nothing is too big for our God coz His work is finished on the cross. Know it, practice it faithfully.

FIND BACK THE TUNE

2010-03-27T11:06:00.001-07:00

It has been long since i look back to that incident which happened. All this while it had never occurred to me how important and great is this testimony that I have. and i keep searching for a testimony.. this is just like trying to search for something that is in your hand. Why didn’t I just focus and stay on the path? Well…guess i was off the beat..i was off tune…

And today lesley just tune me back. On the 28 March 2010, I was tuned back to where i was. Looking at this in a different perspective. Years has pass…but something that God has let me experience will be deep inside..

2009-04-06T18:36:00.001-07:00

UNITED - YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE

Before i begin, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the below people…

1) Trinity (God,Jesus and Holy Spirit)

2) All the dinosaurs and second years

3) The first year committee (cikus or baby dinos)

This event was held on 27 Mac 2009 at CITYBAYVIEW HOTEL. Why does it took me so long to post this? Well…not to say because of busy university life. But more to because when i look back, I realize, this group of people I have met here in USM, though not everyone is close to one another, we serve one true God. And that is what makes us united. And it is also because of God that this night turn out…SPLENDID AND BLESSED.

What happened that night, will forever be unforgettable and meaningful. It is not just the programs, but the sparks and joy that we have.

The warmth and presence of God with us…Love,friendship,belonging,family.
