Who Am I?

Who am I - Casting Crown

Who am I?

(verse 1)
Who am I? That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt,
Who am I? That the Bright and Morning Star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart,

(chorus)
Not because of who I am,
But because of what You've done,
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who You are,

I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean (ocean),
A vapor in the wind,
Still You hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling,
And You've told me who I am..
I am Yours. I am Yours.

(verse 2)
Who am I? That the eyes that see my sin,
Would look on me with love,
and watch me rise again,
Who am I? That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me,

(ending tag, ad lib)
I am Yours,
Whom shall I fear? Whom shall I fear?
I am Yours,
I am Yours.

Sorry about the quality, I took it with my phone, will upload a better one when I get it from my friends. Enjoy the music!

Who Am I - Casting Crowns

Joy to the World the Lord is Come!

Joy to the World!

Joy to the World , the Lord is come!

Let earth receive her King;

Let every heart prepare Him room,

And Heaven and nature sing,And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the World, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat the sounding joy

,Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy

No more let sins and sorrows grow,

Nor thorns infest the ground;

He comes to make His blessings flow

Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.

Merry Christmas! Nothing is better than sharing this Christmas season with your family and friends. :)

Joy To The World - Hillsong

Blessings

This is an awesome prayer.
Believe it and you shall be blessed. The problem with many of us is that we don't believe that God will open a window and pour out blessings that we won't have room to receive them. I dare anyone to try God. He is true to His word. God cannot lie and His promises are sure.

Three things will happen to you this coming week:
(1) You will find favour with someone you don't expect;
(2) You will be too relevant to be ignored;
(3) You will encounter God and you will never remain the same again.

My prayer for you today:
The eyes beholding this ! message shall not behold evil, the hands that will send this message to others shall not labor in vain, the mouth saying Amen to this prayer shall laugh forever. Remain in God's love as you send this prayer to everybody on your list. Have a lovely journey of life! Trust in the Lord with all your heart and He will never fail you because He is AWESOME !

If you truly need a blessing, continue reading this post:
Heavenly Father, most Gracious and Loving God, I pray to you that you abundantly bless my family and me. I know that you recognize, that a family is more than just a mother, father, sister, brother, husband and wife, but all who believe and trust in you. Father, I send up a prayer request for blessings for not only the person who sent this to me, but for me and all that I have forwarded this message on to. And that the power of joined prayer by those who believe and trust in you is more power! ful than anything. I thank you in advance for your blessings.

Father God, deliver the person reading this right now from debt and debt's burdens. Release Your Godly wisdom that I may be a good steward over all that You have given me Father, for I know how wonderful and mighty You are and how if we just obey You and walk In Your word and have the faith of a mustard seed that You will pour out blessings. I thank You now Lord for the recent blessings I have received and for the blessings yet to come because I know You are not done with me yet. In Jesus' name, I pray.
Amen.

From the Inside Out

From the Inside Out - Hillsong United

A thousand times I've failed
Still your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
Still I'm caught in your grace

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Your will above all else, my purpose remains
The art of losing myself in bringing you praise

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Chorus 2x
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out Lord, my soul cries out

5 years

I'd not been doing well these days, maybe I kept on comparing myself with others, in everything I do. When I found out I'm not as good as the others, I'll be upset over it. Until I read an email from a friend recently...

God's Boxes 神給我兩個盒子

I have in my hands two boxes, 我手上有兩個盒子

Which God gave me to hold. 都是神給的

He said, 'Put all your sorrows in the black box, 祂說把悲傷放在黑盒子裡

And all your joys in the gold.' 把快樂放在金盒子裡

I heeded His words, and in the two boxes, 我聽了祂的話

Both my joys and sorrows I stored, 把快樂和悲傷分別裝進兩個盒子裡

But though the gold became heavier each day, 不過. 金盒子每天都有加重

The black was as light as before. 但黑盒子卻依舊輕盈

With curiosity, I opened the black, 我感到很好奇就打開黑盒子

I wanted to find out why, 想要一探究竟

And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole, 結果我在盒子底下發現一個洞

Which my sorrows had fallen out by. 我的悲傷都從那邊漏出去了

I showed the hole to God, and mused, 我把那個洞指給神看感到納悶 '

I wonder where my sorrows could be!' 我不知道我的悲傷哪裡去了

He smiled a gentle smile and said, 祂輕輕地微笑說

'My child, they're all here with me.' 我的孩子.它們都在我這兒呢

I asked God, why He gave me the boxes, 我問神為什麼祂要給我兩個盒子

Why the gold and the black with the hole? 為什麼一個金色的 一個黑色卻漏底的

'My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings, 我的孩子金盒子是要給你數算你的祝福的

The black is for you to let go.' 黑盒子是要給你拋開憂慮的..

May you be in peace and joy. 祝 福 您 平 安 喜 樂



The gold is for you to count your blessings, the black is for you to let go. I think of this phrase a few times and found out something astonishing.

Let me compare the present me and with 5 years ago.

EM2 test 1

I had EM2 test just now, it started at 8.30pm till 10.30pm. This is the first time I have my class till 10.30pm. I had spent my whole day revising and kept on revising my maths until I fall asleep. Then I forced myself to wake up and continued my study. It doesn't last very long because I think I was sitting at desk with em papers on it with eyes closed. My brain kept showing a sign.. Something like this:



Then I tried to open my eyes and continue my revision, I was learning very slowly and suddenly I saw this..




By the time I felt better to study, it was already dinner time. So I rushed my dinner and headed to school.

The first thing I do was to visit the library, in the library I can see many people are burning their last minute oil and struggle to finish 4 chapters of maths topic in about 1 hour time. I thought I was well prepared and my head aws a little dizzy so I don't bother to do anymore revision.

I went into auditorium for the test around 8.25pm and saw our tutor, Ms. Chong Chee Jun arrangging the desks and chairs for us.



Never underestimate the power of women. I saw her carrying desks to and fro just to prepare the seats for our test. Not bad huh? And where is the slave driver brain torturerMs. Sashi?

After she had arranged all the seats, We went to sit at the front right side of the auditorium. The we are:



Including myself of course.


What nice seat, chose a place like that out of many other places in the auditorium. I even got many comments from my friend
[Is that your final destination or what?] Avery
[If that fall, Hopefully you don't duck] Eric
[If that fail, I don't know where will you run] Abubu

It was tense in the auditorium, everyone tried to stay calm,



I think Eric is well prepared, he was already shaking his feet even before he get the test, so confident hor? I was calm too, knowing after working so hard all this while..

Unitl we got the test paper.

Question 1
a) Find the equation of the lines given by this vertex and that vertex
[Hmm.. How do I start again? Next question]

b) Use the answer in (a) and find the point where the line touch the plane which has the vertices of origin, blah... blah... blah...
[Oh no.. I forgot how to do.. Nevermind next question]

c)Find the angle between the normal of two planes given by blah... blah... blah..
[Ok, atleast I know this one...]

Question 2
[Huh?]

Question 3
Complex number.. Haha! Exactly from the tutorial! Bingo!

Question 4
[What's helix curvature again? never heard of it... Next!]

Question 5
[Parametric equations?? How to relate both y and x again? Die...]

Question 6
[Multiple choice questions! Haha! I'll start these first... Wait a minute! How come got so many answer one? swt...]

In the end I was only able to solve question 3. The other questions are all written to fill in the spaces provided so I won't look stupid.. (ahem)... Well, what can I do? I totally don't know how to do the question although I finish the tutorial? When ever I tried to solve the other questions, something unpleasant popped out in my mind...



After struggling for 2 hours, I passed up my test paper with a bitter smile. Ms Sashi smiled at me with a feeling of coldness.. Transmitting "Your're toasted!" message into my eyes.. What a chilled.. exaggerating...

After this test, I realised I haven't put enough effort into my maths and had spent too much time in CEP. I'm quite busy in church attivities too recently which makes my life more hectic. Really have to arrange my time properly.. Not having enough sleep lately too... Time management.. If only I can have more time.

I'm going to have CEP test tonight and have to pass up the assignment too.. Compiling them in a while.. Have to pray and leave everything to God.

I always wanted to score straight HD in finals, I know if I put all my effort into it, I mean ALL my effort into it and neglect everything, I might be able to achieve it. But then again, is it worth it to give up those things you have and go for one thing and achieve it? Is getting straight HDs the most important goal in my life? Where will I be heading to? Or should I spare time for other activities and people like family and friends, church activities and hobbies?

I guess this is life, we cannot win all, we lose some and gain some in our life. I'm happy with my life, I'm trying to achieve as much as possible in my study as well as my other abilities like singing, playing guitar, inter-personal skill and other stuff.. Failure is tough but we don't learn much if we don't fail at all. Often the most precious experience comes when we're enduring hardship. When we go thruogh it, we'll be stronger. Most importantly, we'll have to trust in the Lord.

"We carry this treasure in vessels of clay, so that all this all-surpassing power may not be seen as ours but as God's. Trials of every sort come to us, but we are not discouraged. We are left without answer but do not despair; persecuted but not abandoned, knocked down but not crushed.
2 Corinthians 4:7-9

Rainbow after the Rain

I noticed that I'ved been very absent minded these days, first I lost my umbrella or atleast I think I lost it. I don't even know how my umbrella looks like.

Secondly, I've been leaving stuff behind and found out I lost it later. Last Thursday, I lost my whole set of Conceptual design together with the floor layout drawings, service load and materials load table.

Then I left my Bible in church which I can't seems to located it anywhere when I returned to church about an hour later.

I usually forget which floor my car is parked on the multi-purpose hall. My friend ever told my one of our lecturer also ever forget where he parked his car. There was once when I forgot where my car is after school, so I started to look for it on 2A and above, I have a slight impression I parked my car on the A side, but when I search for my car till 5A, I begun to feel something very wrong had happened... Stolen... Then with a panic mind I bagun to find my car by punching my remote button like crazy. When I came to 2A I could hear a faint car lock/unlock sound, so this time I walked straight to 1A and find my car sitting peacefully there.

Besides forgeting where I parked my car, I also forget if I'd lock my car. It happened twice today, the first time was in the morning when I came back from phtocopy centre. I went all the way down from the car park only to remember that I left my calculator in my car. Well, I ended up running to and fro from the car parked twice before I can do anything worthwhile.

Concerning the missing set of drawings, I sms my lecturer, other group leaders to see if they find anything, they all gave me negative replies. So I end up redraw everything on AutoCAD, I reformated my laptop before the semester starts so I never use my AutoCAD after I reformat it. When I wanna do my design on last Sunday, I found out there's something wrong in AutoCAD 2007 that I wasn't able to use it. Some error occured. In panic and dismay, I searched on the Internet to find any available AutoCAD 2007 but to no avail, AutoDesk only offers AutoCAD 2009 trial version, no more 2007. So I asked everyone desparately if they have AutoCAD 2007, Everyone except 2 person have AutoCAD installer and their version was 2008. I had no choice but to accept the offer. After I installed AutoCAD 2008 on Monday, I finished my conceptual design on my laptop.

Then only on this evening during CEP lecture, one of my group member asked me to have a view on his calculation on drawing which I had given him the other day. Luckily I didn't draw others out yet or else I'll be wasting so much time on that.

When I wanna complete my conceptual design just now, I found out I forgot to delete my AutoCAD 2007, so when I open it again, I found it working perfectly just as it was. Now everything has come back to normal by itself. I didn't do anything at all. What can I comment on this?

Well, I admit I'm very absent minded these days maybe because I was so busy on school work and church activities. It doens't mean I forget something permanently. It's just somehow I seems to forget my friends' name, tasks, things I'm carrying and some past memory. Then after a while, I find all this memory is back by a flashed back. I think this is what God wants me to learn, instead of doing all these things, I should have rest my mind and focus on God Himself. God is telling me something throught the event of losing my Bible, absent minded and still busy with church activities and school work. God wants us to have intimate relationships with Him rather than seving him to an extend that we are blinded to do work only. God wants us to put Him the first priority then everything will come in order. To be frank I only read Bible and pray during youth and Sunday service these days. God shows me the way and shine on me not to stray away from the path. I'm really grateful, Lord Jesus is the Lord of All! Praise to be Thee! All glory to God Almighty! Amen.

Sushi King: From my point of view

Appetizer

Our gang went to Sushi King Boulevard last Saturday. Actually I have youth every Saturday evening, but having to know that one of them has a “buy one free one” coupon, I joined them.

They actually buy the coupon via phone which cost them RM3 per coupon, I remembered Sushi King once distributed their coupons in Swinburne but not many people area interested. Now when they imposed selling coupons then everyone started to sms for the coupon. Strange yea?

As the representatives of Sakai Association Kuching a.k.a. SAG, I just learned that there are two types of sauce in sushi. One is Shoyu, the sweet sauce and the other one is Nitsume, the salty sauce. Whenever you eat sushi, you can dip your sushi into wasabi – Nitsume sauce and have a Wow Wow feeling.

The picture above might be octopus with rice but I’m not sure, I just eat. The second picture is undeniable the legendary salmon with rice, just look at the structure(Keith)/texture(Me) of that sushi! Too bad it doesn’t come as often.

When stuff like peas are rotating on the track, Keith had no choice but to by pass the track and wait for something good and at the same time talking to a few taken hot chicks.

When we really can’t stand having the same type of sushi on the track for a few rounds even the boy is tired of looking at the same dish, we decided to order something special. The second picture shows a bowl of rice with fried chicken. The one below is a plate of chicken satay.

Fried fish on the top picture and the stacking empty plates, do not be deceived by the picture for it is less than half of the total plate Keith and I had conquered.

This is my last sushi but Keith wasn’t having enough, he wants more, so after calculating the amount we share, he moved to the girls table and continued his feast on seafood.

In the end, Keith had conquered the Sushi King Tritower! Just kidding, that’s the end product of the girls and the boys table not exactly end product. Keith and I were sitting at the men table so we can’t combine our plate with them. Otherwise we can erect another tower.

This is the photo I had taken when I want to dip my sushi into the sauce. From the picture we know that the sushi rice fell off before I was able to dip it. These are the qualities of Sushi King nowadays. On another point of view, it does reflect life.

Yeah yeah, you can say that somehow I’m enlightened by Saint Avery Just Kidding. “Shit happens” Avery 2006.

Life is not perfect. Some times we may face situation that might bring us down and under. Many times we can work out a way to fix it, other time we just have to accept it. Having to know it happens can already break you apart, trying to accept the fact out of it is just too much. But then this is life, after you had broken apart and lying in pieces, you should get yourself back to one piece because life goes on. However bad you were torn, you’ll have to find a way to stitch it back. It is not easy alright but at least you’d done something. Of cursing, damning and making your friends as enemies and your enemy as your worst enemy, why don’t you change the way you view? Yes, things may not be the way it was but we can’t neglect other zillions of beautiful things out there just because of one bad thing. You only live once, live till the fullness. If you think you can’t do this alone, hold on to God like I do.

Stickman Soon Eng sat on the wall,
Stickman Soon Eng had a great fall,
All the King’s needle and all the King’s thread,
Was able to put Soon Eng together again.

1 Corinthians Chapter 13

4Love is Patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoice with the truth 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8Love never fail.

Imagine you broke the entire outcome of love in one night, imagine you became hot tempered, imagine you became violent, envious, boast, rude, self-seeking… The list goes on. Imagine you did that in front of your friends. What will they think of you? Imagine the worst part is that you are supposed to be a gentlemen in front of girls and yet you act like that. What will they think of you? Well, very unfortunately it happens to me. “People do crazy things when they are in love” I’m sure that you have heard of this in some movies. If I’m not mistaken, Titanic… Guess what, the good part only happens in movie. In reality if you do crazy things, you are only embarrassing yourself. Imagine throwing a drumstick toward your teammates just because he played around with you. I did that too. Fortunately, I didn’t ruin the supper. What is repent? What do you have in mind when you people told you to repent? Pastor asks people to repent and believe in Jesus Christ during rallies. What is the true meaning of repent? Repent means [to feel and show that you are sorry for something bad or wrong that you have done.] in Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary. We can only repent if we know our mistake and willing to change for the better. Repent is one thing, bear the consequences is another thing. When we repent from our wrong deed, it doesn’t always mean that everything will be just fine. Most of the time, you have to face the consequences of what you had done. When I repent to God, He can forgive me, but I have to take up the responsibilities for my action. When I mess up something, I had to fix it. Otherwise, it will always be a mess. Talking bad things of myself is not what people normally will do. I do this because I obey God. The Holy Spirit told me what mistake I’d done last night when I was taking my shower last night. It is not the first time God speaks to me but every time when God do that, it means I have to humble myself and repent. It is not easy at all, but I have to obey God. That is the true Christian life. An intimate relationship with God. A breakthrough. A testimony. How Great is Our God!
