ALL ARE INVITED!

Reflecting my apartment...

This was my apartment when I first stepped into KTT...

First week

And now after final sem examination,
This one is shocking...
An "earthquake" occurred when we were having our mid sem break...It wasn't that bad at first but slowly it became worse and worse...

Sooner or later that part will collapse and we can talk with Ru Ren from the hole...so convenient...
My bedroom...clean and tidy...

Seriously the place here is dirty and has a nauseating stench...(but I biasa with the smell already)

I really hope the campus students here will be civilized enough to keep the place clean...no point being an "A" star student academically but in terms of hygiene, "U"= ungraded!

A random post...

I'm still in college...

Serving in Nilai Baptist this Sunday. Our campus will be in charge of praise and worship. Since most of them have already gone back to their far away home sweet homes, so the Selangorians have to take over. SELANGORIANS, you guys are so cool!!! haha, not forgetting our keyboardist Christine from Penang.

There are so many things that I want to blog about. From how an "earthquake" happened in my apartment to exam experiences to church events to birthday week in KTT...But too bad I don't have the pictures to show you guys. T_T

I had my "piano exam" in church with my examiner Kenneth Loh last month...I played the song "It's Your Blood" and "Xing Fu De Lu Cheng"...I felt that I did well...but somehow my results did not turn out to be so...haih, anyway, it's my examiner who only have the say to my results, not any Tom Dick and Harry...He's an experienced examiner you know...

Had voice training and praise and worship training with Rev Paul Kao from Taiwan on 6th, 7th and 8th November. It was fun learning how to breathe properly while singing...Actually it's all about expanding and contracting your tummy...haha...the uncles with big tummies looked funny when they started singing...goodness...I don't want to look like that next time...that shall be my all time prayer, amen...haha...

Final sem exam has just passed. Throughout these four days, we studied really hard. We could even stay up till 3am in the morning. It's not that we procrastinated, it's just that we always tend to forget...too many facts to be crammed into our little brains...However, that experience was fun somehow...Anyway, it's not a healthy lifestyle, I will only do that during examinations...Thank God I'm only taking four subjects...

After Sunday service I'm free for a week. There are so many things to do...and it's all about the best season of the year- CHRISTMAS!!! Can't wait for that because it's the best time to share the joy and the true meaning of Christmas with friends...

Goodness, I have completed my first sem...

Goodness, seniors are gone by next sem...

Goodness, it has been a year since I sat for my SPM examination...

Goodness, I'm still surviving in this college...

There are so many things that could occur unexpectedly. Perhaps you might think this and that would never happen, or it might turn out to be a disaster. Hey, our minds are merely human minds that are so conformed to logics. Who knows things can change for the better, if we dare to step out and do it with faith?

CF Committee In My House...

Appreciate you guys who came!

Me and Dollie...

So cute right??? She's my sister. And she's 25 years old...

My mum had her even before she gave birth to three of us...hoping to get a cute, chubby baby girl...

Though she didn't give birth to a girl, at least her three kids resembled Dollie's cuteness...

LOL

Take time reading this...

All my life I never have had the slightest doubt about the existence of God. However, I have to admit that I did not experience, even after hearing so many testimonies by people who were touched by God.

So, I was practically a church goer but not until at the age of 11 - 12, that was the turning point in my life (Can't exactly remember how old I was). I went to a Christian Band concert. Before going for it, I thought perhaps I would go just to have some fun, knowing Christian songs are really nice to listen to. Towards the end of the concert, I felt a presence, a presence that I was not yet familiar with. Only then I knew it was the awesomeness of God. It was Him speaking to me, asking me to accept Him and taste His goodness.

I took the step of faith and it was the first time, I prayed a sincere prayer, asking God to let me experience Him. I wanted to be convinced. I told God, " I know You are there but I do not merely wish to know You, but desire to experience a personal relationship with You. I want You to be my friend." At that very instance, I uttered words that I myself couldn't understand. I couldn't stop speaking in tongues. By the time I opened my eyes, I was on the floor. It was really an awesome night. I knew God answered my prayer. My journey as a Born-Again Christian since then, has never been the same again.

Once I told myself that I would not put myself in a position of dependance on others because I wanted to be free and be independant. However, fear of death and failure gripped me. Over the years, the burdens and fears carried on my shoulders only caused me to be impatient and judgmental. They took priority over relationships, friends and family alike.

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest... (Matthew 11:28-30) Now, I realize I have to give and do my best in everything and leave the rest to God. Failure or success is just part and parcel of one's life. What matters most is I have found the truth and the truth has set me FREE! I find contentment in praying, even in loving people who do not love me in return. Most importantly, I know what I am believing in, unlike the old me going to church blindly for years before I truly seek Him.

It's not merely the experiences that have caused me to be such a fervent believer of Christ. It's because of the undeniable fact that God who love me so much came to earth as man to die for my sins and your sins. And this God wouldn't have done that if not because of his LOVE for You and I. Even though many times I have failed Him, He still loves me, a sinner.

It would be so very selfish of me to keep this to myself and fail to invite my friends to church and CF. By extending that invitation, perhaps I may face rejection and get upset over it. But, how can this little sacrifice of mine be compared to Christ's sacrifice on the cross?

What can I say? It's worth it.

Holiday at Johor Reflections...

Our first stop, Muar. Uncle Mike and Aunty Lilian brought us there for lunch. The food there was sumptous - especially the fried sotong ...YUMMY!

Our second stop, JB. As usual, my hospitable Aunt Eunice and Uncle Hock Quan brought us out for dinner. A lavish dinner indeed. We put up a night there. Helped Dua Ee to set up facebook too...

Our third stop, Singapore. This year we didn't stay there; we went jalan-jalan along Bugis Street. Didn't shop much, prices have gone up a lot. Singapore's youngsters are really fashionable - not lala and simple, not too sexy and not too conservative. Why can't we Malaysian youngsters learn to dress like them leh? Haih...

Our fourth stop, JB again. Had breakfast and did some shopping at Holiday Plaza. Bought some necessary stuff. Never missed a McD sundae cone.

Our fifth stop, Skudai. Of course, we ate duck rice la, Ah Xian went there before leh...haha...Met a humorous waiter but to the Loh brothers he was kinda irritating...

Our sixth stop, Pulai Springs Resort. A golf and recreation resort with breathtaking scenery, a place where you can leave your troubles behind and head into a green haven overlooking Mount Pulai. Truly a country club charm with a touch of elegance, love that place! We stayed at CintaAyu All Suites Hotel and of course, I personally enjoyed the swimming pools and the comfy pillows. Because of the pillows, I slept like never before.

That was the end of our Johor trip.

Last stop, Tampin. Exhausted. But the cool thing was we still attended Prayer Meeting, praying for the needs of many people. Had dinner after that. Went Uncle Mike's house for some light supper. Went back home and watched "Raya Bersama Datin Wanabe". I laughed my heads off.

Let me share with you my holiday trip pics with you guys...Share my joy with you all, I never like to keep it to myself you know. Huhu...


I'm always in the middle. That's the disadvantage of being the middle child. Can't taste the syokness of taking photo at either sides.

That's photography...



This is the pillow that I'm talking about...I'll miss you, pillows!


As for now, I have to pull up my socks and start packing my things to go back to college. Still do not know my mid-sem results, keeping my fingers crossed!

So this is my prayer:
Lord, I don't want a C but if I deserved a C, let Your will be done! I'll do better next time!

Underweight Woes...

" Eh, Irene, why your second son so thin wan? He very 'san' oh...(Hokkien word)..."

" Edwin, you never eat rice ah? Why are you so thin? "

" Edwin how heavy are you ah? Hah!!! XX kg!!! You anorexic ah? "

I have been hearing this since Standard 6.

And my answer is..." Hmm...I don't know? "

I've tried eating more, I've tried working out and I'm still doing so...

I did what I should.

You do not have my body and you do not understand how it works. I'm not like some who can eat three to four bowls of rice at one time. My body does not work like yours. So please try not to ask me the same questions over and over again. My answer is still the same. I know some of you ask me these questions out of concern and I appreciate them very much. But, give me a break please.

It's not that I didn't gain weight. I did. Look...this is a 2003 photo.

Why do people just love to look at how pretty, how handsome, how sharp your nose is, how shapely or muscular your body is, how 'kuaci' your face is and bla bla bla?

At least I have tried to keep myself fit, and that's why my body seldom succumbs to illness. Thank God for giving me good health thus far. Most importantly, my body is the temple of the Holy Ghost.

Underweight people may be feeble physically, but doesn't mean they are feeble-minded. They may look small, but doesn't mean that they are small-hearted.

I'm still trying...Give me some time...Be patient with me...

Perhaps 5 years from now...with the help of a professional Dietitian...my bro?
