Stress? ya lo...

Tue, 01 Apr 2008 16:22:58 GMT

It has been a stressful week as a lot of works are in queue. I wanted to work things out but sometimes it's really hard to be motivated. This is the 12th week of my semester already and 3 more weeks to my final exam. For studio, I have a model to built, drawings to draw; Building Construction, I have drawings to sketch and formwork model to built (thanks to Qian Pei for his planning and work); CAD, I have plans and elevations to finish up; Building Services, I have a research paper to write and it dues next week and everything is still apart; and finally, Moral Studies..........I have an exam, a 3000 words essay and a presentation to do in 3 weeks! That's literally siao! I dunno how am I going to survive for that.

On the other hand, I have a lot of planning to do for CF. And I'm really fortunate to have my good committee members to work things out. May God bless each one of you!

Recently I'm dealing with quite a lot of issues with the people around me, either directly or indirectly. Sometimes I just think of having a life like I used to have in Sibu. Relax, comfortable, happy. But life in KL isn't as sweet as that. And I believe that's the real Christian life, where we deal with people and learn from their mistakes and also our own mistakes. What's the point of being a Christian when all the things around me happens like how it should be? I'll learn nothing.

I just hope that God will bring me through this final 40++ days before I fly back to Sibu once again. Ooo...I just wish that day will come sooner!

By God's strength, I shall continue to walk with a cheerful heart.

夜里独自听着赞美之泉的歌, 感觉原来这么美好. 心里不停地要赞美上帝. 主啊, 你是多么的美好.
为何很多人还不能像我这么幸运认识这位美好的上帝? 为何主偏偏让我在幼小时就认识他? 我有什么好过他人? 我还不是与他们一样? 但美好的真神啊...这就是你的旨意. 如果我从不认识你, 我不会活的今天这么快乐, 美好. 感谢主, 唯有你配得赞美. 你的计划是美好的.

对不起, 因为我亏欠了你的荣耀. 我没有把你的好传给我身边的人. 很多人不认识你, 因为他们在我身上看不见你. 他们不懂你多爱他们因为我没有爱他们.

改变我, 改变世界.

主啊... 不要再等了. 赶快完成你的计划吧! 拯救你的子民! 让他们认识耶稣吧! 用我, 用我兄弟们, 用我的姐妹们, 来完成你的计划.

主啊, 你来了, 你死了, 你复活了, 你走了.

我知道你快来了.

主啊, 快来吧!

it's HIM again!!

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 12:00:39 GMT

I was rushing to school. I put in extra effort to wake up. I reach the bus stop at 6:43am. The bus will come anytime.

Ya, ANYTIME...

I waited...

...waited...

...waited...

...and

...waited...

And the bus didn't appear!

In my mind, I kept praying. Praying that the bus will come.

Suddenly, a thought appear to my mind. Will it be that same lame driver?? I told myself, better not. If not, I'll get very mad. Really mad.

Finally, at 7:23am., the bus arrived.

IT'S HIM!!

Yes, it's him. He's always late, his bus is always packed with passengers cuz he always drag the time and come when there are already lots of people waiting. He always yawn in bus while driving. This is dangerous!!!

I hold my anger and decided not to be angry. In my heart, I have decided to blog about this cuz He's tooooo much!!

By the time I reached college, it's 8:10am. All my friends are waiting for me to go to the construction site in Klang. I have to apologise to them for something which is not my mistake!! But it is... because of the driver!!!!

I managed to snap a picture of the bus after I got a seat... very fortunate to get a seat in a situation like this!! Actually I wanna snap the picture of the driver, but I didn't. I decided to let him go. And I'm afraid that he'll "beng" me if he sees me taking his picture.

I believe that this is a chance God wanna train me to forgive. But I think since I'm writing this in the blog, I've still not forgave him.

Hm...ya, I should forgive him. I believe I'll face this situation more often in the future. Just hope that he won't do the same thing again... but I believe he'll definitely repeat the same thing.

Haiya...pray for him la! I'm serious!

Ok, forget about him. Now, upon my lovely cousin's request, I'll post a picture of my model.

This piece of furniture is actually a bench, a bed and a working table, It's called B4. (blue, bendy, bench, bed).
The Perspex can actually been taken out and slotted in the hole at the bench which creates another place for leaning purpose. I regret for spraying it blue. Actually I wanna spray it to be dark blue, but I bought the wrong spray. Anyway, I'm not too proud of this work, and hopefully my next project - a resting house (probably for Michael Jackson) will be doing better.

Till the next update... Date? Unknown.

Sleep??

Thu, 28 Feb 2008 07:37:16 GMT

This is the 3rd day I haven't have enough sleep... Yeah, rushing for the studio assignment. For more information on the project, visit Aaron's blog. There're plenty of good examples... and so sad, my model's standard is like...so far away from them.

Tomolo I'm going to Kuala Selangor...3 days 2 nite...yeah, for Studio 1 again. I'm quite excited about it...since it's the first non-Christian camp that I'm going...wonder how would it be... But I believe I still prefer Christian camp as I can chat with others about the gospel or their experiences and testimonies till late nite... That's really awesome!

I just got a good news yesterday nite... We manage to invite Pastor Andy from ACTS to come to speak to us on the 19th March's CF evangelistic event! Woo Hoo! God provides. But our request for the Lecture Theater is still pending... have to contact the ECA again tomolo... Actually we are really struggling in getting the venue for our event. And it's really "geram" when Taylor's main campus rejected us, in the "special" way... Will update it soon...if I ever remember. Haha...

Stay tuned...

Goodbye...CNY 08

I just uploaded some pics in my Flickr so I decided to share them here as well...

THESE PICTURES SHOW THE SUCCESSFUL OF THE FIREWORK TRADERS AND THE FAILURE OF THE COPS...(or these fireworks actually spend some nights in the balai?? Never know...)

Basically this year's trip back to Sibu for CNY was short and I'm hoping for next year's CNY to come asap! And, hopefully people will put up more firework performances then... and I can be the one snapping pictures around. Haha...

Till the next CNY...

命中注定...你我一样.

2008年2月19日早上8時38分，肥姐沈殿霞在香港瑪麗醫院病逝，享年62歲.

一代名华福贵就此结束.

人的一生不管活的多出色,多精彩,都必定有结束的一刻.

历史已经不断地证明这事实.

不管你能不能接受,有一天,周杰伦,曾志伟,周星驰,刘德华,张学友...都会有这一天...

...你我都有.

但朋友,你对这一天后的生命有把握吗?

掌权生命的不是你我,而是那奇妙创造主的上帝.

朋友,但愿有天你会肯定你永恒的去向.

希望我迟早会在那与你相见.

Back to life...

Tue, 12 Feb 2008 03:01:37 GMT

Yes, CNY break is over and it's back to real life...

Staying alone in the house is boring as all my housemates aren't back from their hometowns yet. But at least, I have my quiet time...and the best thing is, I can turn up the volumn of my speakers as high as I want!

At the moment there're a few homework that I need to finish...the AutoCAD assignment and the Studio furniture thingy. Not so stress at the moment, but I believe my sweet time will end soon.

CF resumes today as we invite a speaker from the CLC, Ps Clarence... Thanks for Samantha. He will be sharing about Love and Lust... interesting right? I guess this will be updated in the TCCF blog soon. So do check on the blog and see what we have in the CF!

Hm...actually I wanted to share some pics that I snapped during CNY back in Sibu but I don't have the pics now... Will update next week!

Till then, enjoy your life while you still can.

Finally I update!!

Tue, 05 Feb 2008 03:38:15 GMT

Back in Sibu, again..., after leaving here for 27 days. I still have about 4 days before I leave here once again. Hm… life is like this…for Sarawakian…traveling here and there by air during semester break. But, I still enjoy my flight almost everytime. Haha…

Some pics during my flight back days ago...

Still on the penisular Malaysia...

If not mistaken, this is the Sarawak coast.

The Sibu town!! Can see the Igan bridge clearly...

As I have said, I’ll update about my Selah weekend. It’s a one day one night “stayover” thingy organized by FES at Taman Pertanian Shah Alam from 25-26 Jan. That’s really a beautiful place. I’m not really a nature-lover but I enjoy my stay over there. Some pictures to show why…

We stay in Malay houses named after the states. Our main goal in the so-called camp thing is to experience what they called as “reflection”. We were given a Psalm and to reflect our lives for the past 12 months and so on. We were then asked to separate ourselves with our friends to different places to do our own reflections. We can either cycle or walk around or even staying indoor to read books, play guitar ect. The reason for this is to let us relax and think about God, and our relationship and happenings with Him alone.

This is the Perlis house where I (and the other boys) stayed.

The place we rent our bicycle...

Another interesting stuff was the “I AM…” stations prepared by the FES stuff. Jesus mentioned 7 “I AM…” in the gospels. These are some of them…

I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

I AM THE TRUE VINE

I AM THE GOOD SHERHERD

I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE

I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE

We are asked to reflect on the words and write down our thoughts and notes in our own journals.

I think this is really a unique experience. I never have such overnight thing with such activity before. Normally we play games and do crazy stuff but not this time. We did serious thinking and reflect on personal stuffs.

Besides having great experience and intimacy with God, my greatest gain during the stay is to know more people from other campuses' CF. Their experience really gave me a lot of encouragement and inspire me to do better for God in the CF ministry...

By the way, the Taylor’s College Christian Fellowship’s blog is now officially opened to all! Log on to taylorscf.blogspot.com. Do visit it and leave some comments! Thanks on behalf of the Admin Team.

Another interesting thing that happened recently in my house is…

Yes, chicken and chicks. This mommy chicken flew from nowhere to our house and laid and hatched 9 chicks! Isn't that amazing…But the sad thing is, there’re only 5 chicks left today after the attack from the stray cat.

Haha...suddenly it sounds like my house is situated in the ulu kampung...NO ok?? It's in the town!! Haha... trust me!
