Those Were the Days....




Those were the days when you're still playing with all these toys... haha! And lil' nephew's terrorising d whole house trying to run everybody down with his "car/walker"! Forever trying to run my toes off my feet! And he's acquired a new skill... punching people and his youngest aunty always become the victim... Not easy being the youngest in the family. Even a baby will bully you...




But I do miss the days when I was a babe. No worries, can sleep like mad, great complexion, smooth skin...hahaha! Now I'm jealous of a baby. But a human's gotta grow. That's life. Not an easy journey but someone (no...rather everyone!)'s gotta walk this old, trodden and the dusty dirt road of life.




Enjoy your "child-like-ness" while you can. It's better than therapy. Go play or eat something you haven't ate for ages.





I'm craving for Sugus now....




My First Salad


The first time ever I tossed my very own salad... (d tomatoes tasted horrible! *sour*)
Diet food sucks! tasteless....

Will I be....Will you?

*Goosebumps*


I was viewing Bern's blog and wow...!

He also posted an MJ video called "Heal the World".

And both videos me and Bern posted moved me to tears.

It surely can't be coincidental.

Is God trying to tell me something?

Is this why I am placed by God in a law school?

Is this some kind of message God has put in my heart?

Compassion for mankind?

Compassion for the world?

Is this one of my callings in life?

To make a change and heal this broken and hurting world?

Will I be a voice for the voiceless?

Will I be present for those who are in need?

Will I be a Christian who's ready to pick up my own cross and follow Jesus?

Will I be....?

And I pray that I will be one.

Even if it's just for something small.

I want to be The One.

To make a change in my world.

To heal the world.

Will you, friends?

Man in the mirror - MJ

It speaks for itself.

Man in The Mirror

This is a song made famous by Micheal Jackson and I realised during his "glorious" days as the King of Pop, he's kinda active in activism, from environmental to human rights. Remember "Heal The World" and the video clip for "Don't care about us"?

So, are you gonna start making a change by looking at the mirror?

Man in The Mirror
I'm gonna make a change, for once in my life
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right...
As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
Who am I, to be blind?
Pretending not to see their needs
A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top
And a one man's soul
They follow each other on the wind ya' know'
Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
And a washed-out dream
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways (Better change!)
No message could have been any clearer
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
(Take a look at yourself and then make the change)
(You gotta get it right, while you got the time)
('Cause when you close your heart)
You can't close your... your mind!
(Then you close your... mind!)


Even though this is not a gospel song, but the message is clear.

Not acting on your faith = nothing. (Faith w/o deed is dead, remember?)

The change can be any change in our lives, in our community that really needs it.

Be it on the environment;
Be it on poverty;
Be it on human rights,
Be it your own struggles in life (e.g. addiction and unforgiveness....)

As sung in this powerful song....

"If you wanna make the world (your world!) a better place,
Take a look at yourself and make that change".

You might say, "Hey, it's good you know...the song and all. But I just can't do it!".

If you've already given up...if you don't even take the first step of faith out of the sorry state you are in... If you still remain as who you are and not improve...

That's what I call failure.

Be brave.

There are countless of other peoples out there who are also fighting the same struggle...or maybe worse struggles than you are going through. Know that you are not alone in walking this long and tough journey....

And even if men fail you, know that God is still by your side.

You may not be able to see Him, to touch Him. But His presence is always there. It's only that our hearts are so hardened that we can't feel anymore.

Failure is when you have stop trying, not failure itself.

YARGHHH!!

My dear cousin's currently chowing down this great bowl of salted-fish-mihun-soup from the popular Pudu shop that sells the greatest salted-fish-mihun-soup on planet Earth!

Problem is....I'm fasting now....huhu!

Another great temptation rite in front of my eyes (not to mention nose as well....)

Don't care!! I'm gonna tapau McD's to reward myself after my fast & prayer...Hahaha...Just like wat Joseph Raj said in TSF, it's during times when you're fasting that you'll start to "mengidam"/crave for food that you never crave for all this while....hahaha!! Aper nie??!

I'll make it...by the grace of God! And I know what I'm doing now it's not some sort of competition of trying to impress people with my ability of not to eat for several days and try to break David Blaine's 40 days and nites without food!!

I'm not trying to prove anything here....

But I'm I am making my point here that I will honour my God by going through this time of fast & prayer week, even if it's just 1 meal per day... (You guys know how much I love eating!! 1 meal oso very tempting dy...not to mention now exam period summore!!)

And I know that God will honour me and grant me favour too!

Thank you Jesus!

p.s. McDonald's just came up with a new Cornetto Sundae & McFlurry ice-cream!!! Now got strawberry flavour McFlurry!!! I want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
