Forgiveness

Forgiveness.. when we see this word, how many of us actually practices it? I know i do.. no that's a joke.. i thought i do, but i don't really know what is forgiveness, nor do i practice it

For a very long time, and for many people, forgiveness is very much like a cognitive process. What i mean is we forgive the person in our head, but not in our hearts

And immediately, i can see that one of the person practicing that is me. That is why i said i thought i forgive, but actually i don't. Everytime i see a person who have hurt me, i would somehow have this uncomfortable feeling in my heart, and that is what i meant by forgive in mind, but not at heart

Do you experience it too?

What we (or I for that matter) need to do is to forgive both in our mind and heart. And it is not an easy task.. in fact, it might be one of life's most challenging things. but if we want to heal completely, this is what we need to do

We need to first admit our brokeness and weakness. By admiting it and by realizing it, then only can we face it and be healed. If we were to live in denial, then we can never come face to face with the deepest hurts in our heart.

Jesus said this "Forgive one another as I have forgive you"

So go out there and forgive someone

To everyone out there reading my blog, i am sorry if i have hurt you in any way. I beg for your forgiveness and please voice out your frustrations on me, so that i can be a better person..

Anyone who have unresolved issues with me can drop comments (this is the time to bomb me) and i will try my best to improve

God Bless~

Renewal

These few days, specifically from Tuesday till today, Thursday (29.11.2007)... in these few days, i have learnt a lot of things from the Advent retreat organized by my church.

It actually started on Monday, but i didn't went for it because i was lazy cum so-called-busy. :p but then my dad came back and said it was good and sorta 'persuade' me to go for it.. so i went on Tuesday and i continued until today, the final day of the retreat.

There are many things which i have learnt there that i can put into practice immediately and the talk was really really good and i want to share with all of u guys a story. A story about a pencil

The pencil, after being made was on it's way to be put inside the box. And the maker of the pencil told the pencil

1) In the future, you would do great things, things that you cannot imagine doing. But you can only do these great things only if you let yourself to be held in your owner's hand.

2)From time to time, you will feel a sharpening pain, but that is essential for you to become a better pencil.

3)Remember, what is important, is your inside and not your outside.

After being told this things, the pencil was put inside the box. And that is the whole moral of the story..

We as humans can do great things, things that we can never imagine doing, but only if we allow to be held in God's hand

From time to time, we will definitely face obstacles and challenges and that is essential in our growth. This is where our sharpening pain comes in, in order for us to be a better person and be more matured.

And remember, God looks at the inside of a person and not the outside. We can go to church, or temple or any religious place everyday, but that does not mean we are pious or good people. Being good means we help people around us, being good means not laboring hatred to one another. Being good means we need to forgive. Being good means we need to LOVE..

and i know it is not easy to love the people around us, when we don't get love from them.. why should we love the people who doesn't love us? it doesn't make much sense does it? But remember this

JESUS LOVES YOU.. He loves all of us alike, both good and bad. Yes Yes, i know some people out there don't believe in Him, and this is sooooo a bias perception of mine, say it however you want to say it, but yeah.. He loves all of us..

And so when we don't get love from the world, and find it hard to love, turn to Him and you will find love.

Even if you don't understand what i am trying to say here, remember the story of the pencil.

God Bless~

Laughing Kung Fu

Oh.. i have devised a new Kung Fu which i dubbed as Terence Mean Laughing Kung Fu..

as the name says it, my laughing is very mean and it kinda conveys that 'i am belittle-ing you and that is soo impossible to happen'

it kinda works normally with Evie.. hahaha.. and she got most of my laughing kung fu la.. poor her..

God Bless~

Innocence

Today i encountered something really cute.. since i long time didn't go cycling already, i decided to go for a spin this evening..

Long time didn't cycle, bicycle no air already la.. so went to the nearest gas station to pam air.. but then the pam rosak la.. i meant it is spoilt. so decided to go over to the bicycle shop to put some gas into my tyre.. but then, the shop not open.. =.=;

so went to the second nearest gas station and the gas machine works.. so got my bicycle pumped and then my journey starts.

I went cycling around my 'taman' and then i stopped at one of the field to get reflexology.. there were 2 boys there with their grandfather i suppose.. and after i finish torturing my feet by walking on the stones, i continued my journey

but but but.. before i got onto my bicycle, the 2 boys earlier... they... they.. they.. they... they...

they urinated in public, in the middle of the field, watering the plants with their natural fertilizer... and i was like o.O??? to O.O...

hahaha.. i couldn't remember the last time i did that.. memories are sooo easily forgotten.. :p

but their innocence are sooo admirable la.. if i were able to do that now, hmm.. i wonder how would the people around me reacted.. maybe like jaw drop to the ground and bounces back??

God Bless~

Newphews and nieces

As i have mentioned in my earlier blog, (like 2 minutes ago) i have quite a number of nephews and nieces.. hehe.. i am an official 'uncle' XD

well they are cute ok.. hehehe.. here are some of the photos..



This is Joshua. Sorry ler.. a bit blur
This is Aurelia (Joshua's big sis) .. oh no.. i don't know how to spell her name.. XD

This is Donna..


This is her torturing me
This is me getting back at her.. :p









Ain't she cute... awesome..


Well if u have real bad eyes, you probably haven't notice that Donna does not look local.. and yes.. she is not.. she is of mix blood.. that's what is so special about her.. lalala~
There was once when i was playing with Donna, and we were teasing each other.. *it's really dumb.. and i shall spare you the details*
but after some teasing, she said "you shen ching ping" (means you mentally retard or something along that line la)
i was like wert?? where did u learn that from.. speechless.. hahahaha.. but the way she pronouced it is sooo cute, and yet the pronounciation is not off.. unlike KM's version of mandarin... XD

God Bless them all

Marriage

My cousin got married yesterday.. I have always love to go for wedding masses (relatives ones :p), because the joy and excitement is just there... love is in the air..

makes me feel that this world is not as cold as it seems afterall.. *how could marriages be cold right??*

i love it when the priest ask the question

" name, do you take name to be your husband/wife? Do you promise to be true to him/her in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love him/her and honor him/her all the days of your life?"

i love it even more when they say "i do" (well so far i haven't encounter the answer "i do not" but that would be soooo dramatic.. i would prefer the "i do" :p)

maybe those words are just customary, but do we sit down and think of the meanings of those words? how powerful and how meaningful those words are...

would you really be able to do that all the days of your life??? it's not simple you know.. at the moment of marriage, it might seem really simple because you are SOOO in love... but think of it a little deeper, and you would realise that it is not as simple as it sounds..

anyway.. i got the pictures of the bride and the bridegroom.. yay!!

This is them.. my cousin is the bridegroom



His name is Simon and his wife is Liz
For his marriage, i got to see quite a number of my nephews and nieces too.. YAY!! they are soooooo super uber cute.. will show it in the next post.. hehehe
May God Bless Simon and Liz
Have a nice day..
God Bless~

Kind Hearted Malaysians

Tons of things to blog today.. but cannot finish by now because I am going to go play ball soon... mwehehe...

so i would start off with my experience a few days ago when my dad was fetching me to college.

my dad didn't really close his car door tight, and an Indian man who was driving a lorry honned him.. and made him realise that his door isn't shut tight..

this encounter showed me that Malaysian is indeed a caring lot.. even from different races, and even if they don't know you..

despite the stupid politicians, despite the fight for own race's benefits, i am still proud to be a Malaysian simply because the people here are kind and are willing to lend a helping hand... high with gemeinshaftsgefuhl.. of however u spelt it (lazy to check la.. :p)

talking about Malaysia, i went to batu pahat these 2 days, and i am glad to see tanah merah.. (it's erm... red soil)

in kl.. i think it would be very hard to find tanah merah, and seeing that makes me nostalgic about my life. nostalgic about the life of Malaysia as well, i might be too young to say that.. but yeah i do feel that..

it's very easy to differentiate between KL and non KL.. for one, in KL, just look up the sky and u can see tons of skyscaper.. and our 'beloved' KLCC

however, in melacca (i went there too) and Batu pahat, when u look up, what u see is the trees and blue sky without any obstruction from skysrapers.. and that made me feel good about being there..

While we are all striving and chasing for improvement, let us not forget that what we have comes from earth, and don't abuse mother nature for the sake of our greed.

because Jian was blindfolded, 'handcuffed' and well, wrapped like little red riding hood. real real EMBARASSING man... the reactions of the people there are like... wert??

petrified for a few second.. they went to lala land to check whether or not they are in reality.. i can still remember their faces when we went in.. the aunty who was eating stopped eating totally and just looked at us with her mouth wide open...

even the waiter of the restaurant was like looking at us and.... laughing.. err... i shall describe his laugh as... 'very shocked-cum-dumb-cum-don't know what to react' laugh. aper aper sajalah..

ate porridge steamboat and got the pictures on evie's baby.. so will upload the photos next time *this is the bad thing when u don't have own camera.. what to do?? always have to say the same old thing "upload next time" *

Beautiful city Krakow..
AWESOME ISN'T IT?? ME GOING TO GO THERE SOMEDAY.. YEAH!!!
God Bless~


A-Z

Although things are not perfect
Because of trial and pain
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not begin to blame
Even when the times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
God is forever around
Hold on to what you know
Imagine life without His love
Joy would cease to be
Keep thanking Him for all the things
Love imparts to thee
Move out of the 'Camp Complaining'
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone
Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand
Start everyday with worship
To thank is a command
Until we see Him coming
Victorious in the sky
We'll run the race with gratitude
Xalting God most high
Yes, there'll be good times and some will be bad
Zion waits in glory.. where none are ever sad

Blame It on Me




As life goes on I’m starting to learn more and more about responsibility
And I realize that everything I do is affecting the people around me
So I want to take this time out to apologize for things that I've done
And things that have not occurred yet
And the things they don’t want to take responsibility for

I’m sorry for the times that I left you home
I was on the road and you were alone
I’m sorry for the times that I had to go
I’m sorry for the fact that I did not know
That you were sitting home just wishing we
Could go back to when it was just you and me
I’m sorry for the times I would neglect
I’m sorry for the times I disrespect

I’m sorry for the wrong things that I’ve done
I’m sorry am not always there for my sons
I’m sorry for the fact that I am not aware
That you can’t sleep at night when I am not there
Because I am in the streets like everyday
Sorry for the things that I did not say
Like how you are the best thing in my world
And how I am so proud to call you my girl


I understand that there are some problems
And I am not too blind to know
All the pain you kept inside you
Even though you might not show
If I can't apologize for being wrong
Then it’s just a shame on me
I’ll be the reason for your pain and you can put the blame on me


You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
Said you can put the blame on me
Said you can put the blame on me
Said you can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me

Sorry for the things that he put you through
And all the times you didn’t know what to do
Sorry that you had to go and sell those bags
Just trying to stay busy till you heard from Dad
And you would rather be home with all your kids
As one big family with love and bliss
And even though Pops treated us like kings
He got a second wife and you didn’t agree

He got up and left you there all alone
I’m sorry that you had to do it on your own
I’m sorry that I went and added to your grief

I’m sorry that your son was once a thief
I’m sorry that I grew up way too fast
I wish I would’ve listened and not be so bad
I’m sorry that your life turned out this way
I’m sorry that the FEDS came and took me away

I understand that there are some problems
And I am not too blind to know
All the pain you kept inside you
Even though you might not show
If I can't apologize for being wrong
Then it’s just a shame on me
I’ll be the reason for your pain
And you can put the blame on me


You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
Said you can put the blame on me
Said you can put the blame on me
Said you can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me

I’m sorry that it took so long to see
They were dead wrong trying to put it on me
I’m sorry that it took so long to speak
But I was on tour with Gwen Stefani
I’m sorry for the hand that she was dealt
For the embarrassment that she felt
Just a little young girl trying to have fun
Her daddy should never let her out that young

I’m sorry for Club Zen getting shut down
I hope they manage better next time around
How was I to know she was underage
In a 21 and older club they say
Why doesn’t anybody wanna take blame
For rising backed out disgracing my name
I’m just a singer trying to entertain
Because I love my fans I'll take that blame

Even though the blame's on you
Even though the blame's on you
Even though the blame's on you
I'll take that blame from you

And you can put that blame on me
And you can put that blame on me
You can put that blame on me
And you can put that blame on me

And you can put that blame on me

And you can put that blame on me

[Sorry, Blame Me lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

Treasure Hunt

3rd November 2007

Today is the day... the day of HELP's treasure hunt... woke up at 5.50 and get ready to go to bangsar station.. suppose to meet up with LK Meng at 7.05..

but some smart fella overslept and only woke up at what??? 6.50 hah.. what's that la?? but typical la ya.. hahaha.. speed to college like crazy like that.. so scared that we are late for registration.. but not that late also la.. ok ok la..

our team's name is... jeng jeng jeng.. Himbo Bimbo... wakaka.. and if u think that's lame, you are sooooo wrong man.. i tell you, HELP's people can come up with the laaaamest name ever man...

some of the participants name were like.. Thunder Cats.. i was like.. ahh... how lame can they be? some more got name such as 'Friends of Marcus Lim' o.O... who's marcus lim anyway?

oo oo.. still got names like The Losers, The Seekers and No Idea. A lot of strange and lame names la all over.. so ours is not that bad ok.. wakakaka

we got number 23 and started from HELP University College... oh.. we wanted to pose like super posers before going, but then no camera.. haih.. haih.. haih.. hahaha..

we were handed 2 set of papers, 1 set is the tulips, and another set is the questionnaire and we are suppose to look for answers to complete it.

so there we go and first stop is somewhere near Sentul.. not really sure where la.. but somewhere near there... then proceed to Jln. Ipoh and then KLCC, then to Bukit Bintang, and then Petaling Street... then continue to PJ SS2 and then went to The Curve in Damansara Utama (i think) then continue to TTDI and Sunway, on the way erm... we got a called from the organizers that it's over..

we are asked to go straight to the finishing line which is HELP ICT in Klang. so we drove there, not going to some of the places that we are suppose to go..

reach there already, they told us our marks will not be calculated because we exceed the time limit.. and we were like 'what??'

other people who take the shortcut and go straight to the finish line actually can win just like that.. they actually kinda lost half way through the game and then because all of us know the finishing line is in HELP ICT, they went there first, and that is how they won.. grrrr...

reach there got some performance in their auditorium, real cold man inside.. after the performances, we went to play bowling, and i am not the loser.. lala lala la la..

then after playing bowling, we played basketball shoot out.. hahaha.. all sot sot already.. throw like nobody's business. XD

then we went to Boston to eat whey.. don't play play.. know where is that or not?? the famous Boston also don't know ar?? nevermind la.. if u not Klang people, i don't blame you.. no la.. it's actually a Chinese restaurant la.. nothing to do with famousness and steaks...

ate quite full and then play some dumb game la.. Meng.. got lau sai or not?? XD XD...

then went to shyuan's house and then took her camera out and took some photos la.. what else right?? morning cannot take photos, take at night la.. wakakaka..

all day long, i was singing like a rapper... and why is that?? i don't know la.. maybe it's because my Big shirt that makes me looks baggy... but i seriously doubt the correlation la... haha :p

when u are given a lemon, make lemonade... when u are given a baggy shirt, sing like a rapper.. wakakaka..

came home, real tired.. oh oh oh.. they bought me a bag for my birthday present.. awww so sweet.. hahaha... thanks a lot guys.. appreciate it ya.. next time buy me erm.. shoe, car and condo.. XD

looks like Shyuan is not going to send me the photos like... now.. so will upload it later..

God Bless~

Great Day.. Yay

1st November 2007

Starting of November, and it already is a great day, because of a few things..

Today's LLS is not bad.. we actually learned how to say ' I love you' in a few languages..

but then i only can remember a few.. let me list them down here.. hehe.. (i don't confirm the correctness in this ok.. don't hold me liable for it!!!)

korean : sarangheo (love to friends), tarangheo(love to sweetheart)
spanish : de'amour
japanese: aishteru (or something that sounds like that la)

ok that's the 3 that i remember.. obviously Miller's magic number 7 don't work well on me.. not so magical after all huh?? XD

and obviously, Franklin is soooo Shyuan when he says "it's not what you say, it's how you say it"

went to church today, and heard something similiar, but not so similiar..

Andrew Manikam, in his sermon quoted Mother Theressa's words

It is not how much you do, but how much love you put in what you do
It is not how much you give, but how much love you put in while giving
and, in his sermon, i found out what i am going to say for my MC 100's presentation.. woo hoo.. look out for it ya.. XD
and yeah... today is just a great day, started with a funny meeting/discussion. then went to a nice LLS class and a sugar high MC 100 class.
PTPTN
oh oh.. got those sweets from MC 100 class that is like sooooo super long tak makan dy... memories of the good old days la.. then got people fetch me home somemore you know..
Thanks Khoi Yit.. evie.. evie.. are you reading this?? :p
got great dinner, basically great day la.. hehehe
God Bless~
