why i love riding

There are so many things that breaks God's heart.

how could i go through everyday life being oblivious to this fact. i always wondered what life would be like not knowing God. not knowing that there is a great being out there whose care for us caused His very life.

to just walk, to not feel, to not burden in the heart, to not be obligated.

passion for the lost compassion for the needy.

thats why i love cycling. with a bike, one can stop anytime anywhere anyplace that most vehicles cant.

was cycling to petaling utama one day... stopped by at a bus stop opposite assumption church .. to drink some water.. one of the very few times i actually felt dry and thirsty cycling on my way.. since the previous times it was always raining and i could sip in sky juice once in a while...

there was a dude sitting there too. no slippers ... shaggy cloths... unkempt hair... something inside me.. no, not something.. i knew what it was.. it was the Spirits prompting.. said.. go over and talk to him...

i hesitated... and then i felt the prompting again, not wanting to wait the third time, i went over... and chatted.. his name was Ram, he came here for mass, but there wasn't any that night.. he needed cash to get back onto the busy... he didn't have enough and needed 4.50

i walked back to my bacg, took out my wallet, and there inside stood one fat 20 bucks.... i felt so rich and blessed at that moment.... 20 bucks....... i felt rich with 20 bucks..... sigh, anwyays didn't have small change... and i knew if i gave this yellow note to him, i would have no cash later to eat dinner with...

screw dinner, this guy looks skinnier than me xD

walked over, gave him the 20 bucks, a hug and a News everlasting that will never run out of grace, mercy and all we need for providence in life.

and beheld tears stream down his yellowish eyes.

God's love, burns brighter than the sun.
more beautiful than words could ever say.
This endless love, shinning over all,
it leads me to your glory everlasting..

awake my soul, open my eyes
to see the countless things in this nation,
which i pass by everyday,
that breaks Your heart.

preppers.

theory: the idea of prepping is a sub-conscious trick to get people to start back contribution in and as a community and prevent the economic collapse as predicted if people would just remain as empty-self consumers by instilling fear of the future. it is a pre-event prevention solution. (if it works) =P

i think its good that people are prepping for an economic downfall.

why so? because if they can grow their own vegetables, sustain thier own lives and a few love ones around them, generate electricity and live off the grid, then the burden on the nation to support this growth woul be lessened.

if everyone prepped, then it'll just be like in the old caveman days where people could sustain themselves.

ofcause, i think the consumers out there and thier power of purchasing is wayyy more than the preppers contribution to society. we just consume too much to live in comfort and luxury. and not like prepping actually gives you enough produce to sustain plenty other people.. (although i've seen some who can really make lots of wine from uneaten grapes and grow veggies and fish via aquaculture enough to sell to others, thus making thier own business at the same time in this post-modern era)

yup make money while prepping for the end, not bad eh? =D

well i wonder who actually came up first with the idea of 'prepping' . maybe it was an economist who foresaw the future if people just keep on consuming and jacking up the dept instead of working hard and being part of the community, bearing thier own weight. but to get the idea across to the common people, he choose to communicate by a means of instilling fear. fear is what drives people sometimes. so then, without knowing, the people who get scared actually start working hard, ie building nice homes, growing food stuff..rearing.... goats? who would ever rear a goat for milk and learn the process of coagulating it into beautiful cheese (i lovee cheese! especially in burgers) =D. if i told you to go rear a goat for no particular reason, would you? i didn't think so

so yeah, this is another of my random theories with no hypothesis, evidence, firm examples whatsoever.. just a... thought =P

this prayer i pray with all my... heart?


dilemma - to watch a free movie premier with special company and have a good satisfying time. or to travel far to a hot hall and observe a game of badminton between tiny kids.

well wasn't a very fair statement now was that?

- to gratify the desires of personal selfish happiness or to sacrifice a fleshly pleasure to get a chance to minister the most important everlasting message into children's lives whom have yet to know Him.

... jeez ... i guess praying "Lord, i want to grow closer to You" doesn't get answered in a one time gift, but instead a chance to choose in a situation.

situation presented.. to be (heavenly minded ) or not to be....

...sigh... eternity in mind?

phillip yancy: "one does not gain life by acquiring more, but instead by giving it away, and in the process finding it."

true? no? relative? ... lets find out

Cheap Grace

"Will their lack of faith nullify God's faithfulness? Now at all!" -Paul

so then what's the whole point of this post? lets just read a short portion of the scripture, romans 3:5-8

But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.) Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world? 7 Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?” Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—“Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is just!

people who talk like that, i guess.. believe in the gospel of judas. whereby it is part of the plan to play the bad guys role so that there can be a good guy. just like how "Opposites have to exist for things(it contrast) to have definition". right.. just like how the villains anonymous in the movie wreck-it ralph said

"I am bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. I will always be me." - bad guy oath

i liked today's easter sermon, where yew meng told us how satan might have thought he had gotten God into a lose-lose situation after adam's fall. where if God forgave adam, he would not be just and holy. but if he did not do so, humanity would be separated from God forever. but yeap, God always wins. a hearty amen to that.

people ask: "why can't God just forgive sins? he is God after all"

“If anybody imagines that God can simply forgive us as we forgive others, that person has not yet considered the seriousness of sin or literally what a heavy weight sin is; has not realized the greatness of the one we have sinned against. And how His character is at stake here in His response to sin.” -Anselm

there's no such thing as cheap grace. happy easter Jesus said "it is finished" on the cross over and over again.. so be reconciled to God today =D

the question is not "have i received salvation because of the sinner's prayer" but "am i following Jesus"

p.s. sorry there are so many missing gaps in this post, i know the paragraphs don't link, and there could be more explanation added in between. if you really did want to know more, you would. you just would

by the beach


why would people need churches,
or even to to the temples,
to pray and read their vows,
and follow the same old bows.

to pour the tea in a cup,
to walk in circles around the fire,
or do any for that matter,
to make the officiation better?

well vows are made and stuff is paid
set by some old dude whose probably dead,
i wonder if they actually memorized it in the head,
or just followed what the pastor said.

i wonder how simple it can be,
maybe on a beach some where out there,
beside the ocean that has no memories,
and just a few friends who actually care.

to know that it is not the action of it,
that makes two become one,
its not just lighting the candles together,
but knowing two hearts are joined with each other.

i choose to love you,
even before i've met you,
putting in the ring on your finger,
is just a small part of the picture.

haha not as easy to be done than said,
with all the aunties and parents in this date

note: yeah yeah, i know there's such a thing called tradition and stuff. we've got to do our responsibilities as kids and the actions have some meanings to it

i love weddings

i love being involved with weddings,
its so fun and joy does abound.
no matter what the causes or reasons,
there is a purpose to be found.

yes its true that we can say,
looking at the past of people,
history does repeat itself if it may,
but who are we to predict the future.

generalizing was never a good thing,
assuming makes an ass of u and me,
sometimes just because of a fling,
there some much work to be done.

rushing is never a good thing,
especially when it comes to loving,
would you choose to love her in the heart,
even before the wedding ring.

so many rituals to do,
be it traditional or religious,
why do we have all this procedures,
what sense comes from following orders?

somethings are there for a purpose,
like counseling and stuff before the vow,
don't step into this deep water,
to find a stone tied to you now.

i love seeing weddings,
who doesn't.
"if anyone were to object,
do it now or forever hold his silence"
sometimes i wonder if anyone
could just stand up and shout
"DON'T DO IT NOW!"

we can never determine one's future,
the ending might be sweeter,
everyday is a chance to mature,
and its possible to swim in the water.

how lovely the wedding planner,
the girls who decorate the aisle,
they make such a beautiful banner,
even tough the time given is just a while.

yup, last minute preparations are cruel,
havoc is bound to appear,
so just hold your cool and understand,
some people have had a long day before hand.

a smiles on their faces i see,
but you can feel that it runs eerily,
something inside's a mystery,
ain't nothing can go so happily.

you just know it,
no matter how tired one may be,
the mask which looks like a perfect fit,
is one with thorns and a scribe.

pain means an experience to be gained,
hardships a chance to be tested,
would one be able to stand the drain,
and know that there is more to life mundane.

i choose to love God before her,
would she do the same,
working side by side together,
to achieve life aflame.

Paratus prius Laurus

secretary


Her eyes are really starry,
She'll get your documentary,
She'll make your life merry,
So vote ****** for Secretary!!

She looks quite tiny,
She could run for parliamentary,
but instead choose voluntary,
her tag line's quite funny.

this Flesh

The tongue is so evil,
should i cut it off.
These eyes are full of lust,
should i gorge them out?

This hands steal so many things,
This fingers are guilty with debauchery,
This legs are quick to evil,
These feet walk on accursed land.

"What is a tear, if not the
thawing of a frozen heart"
God created all things to be good,
So for You dear Lord, make em' good.

-no idea when i wrote this-
note: yeah i know "this" in stanza two is supposed to be "these" but this was what i wrote in the book... so yeah... find out its meaning .. i actually really didn't want to post this up. of fear that it would taint peoples perception of me.. but then again, how long can one hide, the things that will all come to light. i would rather confess the murder, than bury the bones in a closet of under the carpet... that one day it might come out to haunt me. but this i know, my Savior lives... and for all these He has ransomed me..

when i re-read the last stanza, i remembered why i wrote this.. it wasn't to remind my self or tell others about my sins.. (eh wait.. who said it was mine? it could be referring to anybody and people in general!!) ..now wehre was i... oh yeah...but instead, the whole purpose of writing this.. why why i should be writing anything at all... is to point back to Him at the end of the day.

The Secret to sleeping

3 stages of sleep in life,
As a baby: we are forced to sleep when we don't want to
As an adult: we want to sleep but we can't
As an old person/teenage: we don't want to sleep but we do

There's so much to talk about sleep,
How it repairs the body, the biological clock, the sleep cycles.
How to get a better sleep: milk, breathing deep, slow music
some insomniacs even require drugs.

The hormone melatonin is the trick,
Don't play computer or look at your phone's bright screen,
it reduces the release of this key,
so does anxiety for tomorrows exam.

So trust in the Lord,
and He will grant rest,
His peace be upon you,
That you may sleep your best.

-written on 22nov2012-

note: i got the 1st paragraph from somewhere, but can't remember. hope you can have a good nites rest after reading this!! =D

The Peak

A student has many stages,
From UPSR, PMR SPM to STPM
One weird thing about them,
is they hit the Peak at different points.

If one were to score 5A's in UPSR
The memory is retained so strongly,
It is hard to unlearn it all and
absorb the new format, what more information.

This, it is hard at PMR and SPM,
A student who did badly in UPSR,
can choose to hit the peak later,
Scoring much better at SPM.

Of cause there are those who are always at the peak,
and those who never tried to climb.

-written on 22nov2012-

author's note: now i know this is not entirely true, nor not true at all. it does bear some truth for some while nothing at all for others. when i was wring this i had in mind friends, whom i've seen do badly in the early parts of school but score the best in senior high. and there are those who score in primary but start flunking in high school... so yeah it all depends actually, if the person continues to work hard or become lazy. but sometimes its just a mental barrier kinda thing.

"I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving" -Oliver Wendell Holmes

whenever we have achieved success, don't brood over it for long, keep on moving on. especially when a position of power has been gained.

Exams

Why do students get so stressed?
Studying like crazy for an exam.
Before hand there's so much uncertainty,
Something you should leave to God's hand.

Do your part,
and trust in your heart.
Whatever comes out in the paper,
is just some random luck.

Academic excellence does not determine life,
Though many a times it feels like it.
Surrounded by achievers and success,
One can only feel obliged to follow the skit.

Missing out the true calling,
We stick to a path too often,
Not daring to be adventuring,
Some take their life for this stupid thing.

-written on 16nov12-

author's note: basically the last line sums up what i didn't really like abt the pressure that could build up due to various exams in life.. not just academic things, but other everyday test we go though... suicide is .. erm.. the worst way to waste a life.

of cause the other part of this poem, is that we gotta do our part and not leave everything to God... thats called laziness, yet still find peace in knowing that not everything is in our control.. especially what questions are to come out... so, final words: may you find divine Peace in Him.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." -phil 4:6-7

ICE BREAKER

A great mystery in life,
How playing games together can be,
The winner feels great,
the looser feels dead.

Team morale is something mystique,
How a single person who leads,
can change the whole team in peace,
without one, everyone just seems.. pissed

No leaders only followers,
the team stares at each other,
in boredom, thus they
lose out, and feel like... mush

If there was no loser,
There would be no winner,
so have some sportsmanship,
and smile for the friendship

-written on 16NOV12-

authors note: ok so maybe the 2nd and 3rd stanza didn't rhyme much. but owh well, atleast the last one wasn't so bad. the 3rd stanza was referring to a certain particular situation in a camp. there was this group of youngings that were just so tired (probably due to lack of sleep) .. and they were so crabby that they didn't even want to practice for the performance night, having no discussion what so ever, they just did some B grade item. sad rite.... group dynamics.. discern it.

TEMPER

An utterly weird phenomena it is,
How an adolescence of certain age,
Gets some hormonal imbalance in the head,
And is pissed off at any random word said.

To surpass this evil urge inside me,
Was not an easy path to take,
to not let my tongue reign free,
but to keep on reasoning silently,
containing them in the head only.

author's comments: hmm this was one of the much earlier tries at 'poetry' that i found written in some ancient book.. gonna post them up just for keeps sake. this particular one was a cin chai attempt and didn't have any nice flow to it. but yeah, i guess it helps me to speak my mind out. haven fun reading this collection =D btw its written a long long time ago accordnig to those dates, most of the things have passed and minght possibly not have anything to do with what i currently feel, but be sure it was something la at those moments.

the end?


"you can't change the past, bear the consequences of the mistakes.
you can choose what to do in the present, its not what circumstance you're in, its how you'd respond
to influence the future... *insert funky line here* "

so yeah, everyone would have a different idea of what they want in the future rite?
certain dreams, goals, life purposes to achieve.

we'll all die in the end anyway. tough i do not look forward to the end physically (i really would like to enjoy life on earth), yet i wonder how paul could have said he longed to be with the Lord.

when will my soul ever have that great a desire. that everyday it would be a fresh one. hmmm..

"keep eternity in mind" .. heard it so many times. yet it is so hard to actually apply. why is it hard? shouldn't doing the right thing be easy? why is it so much simpler to indulge in sin and yet we have to strive and fight for righteousness... what really is the breast plate of righteousness that i'm teaching my small pre-teens group about...

so many questions, i'm glad that they do speak up and ask

owh well, life's.... a joy. each day

as mr wise-guy soloman once wrote:

"This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man."

yup... hopefully i'll get to enjoy life at the same time =P

car accident, casio F201, Sennheiser HD 380 Pro

 so waiyan got into an accident. at federal. she was going straight, her right of way, green light...
and a car came from the left, it was red ligh for him, but the one furter down was green. trolling light.
so he banged her read left door, she lost control, and went up the curb on the left and into a pole.

thank God she's.. unharmed.
 made a police report, super long. so many things to get... car manufecture date la, insurance la, blablabla...

no matter how safe you drive, there will be some accidents that are cause by others and not one's self.
it is inevitable, it happens. owh well... the guy who bang her was really nice, young guy, polite, genuine. caring.

owh, and my trusty watch broke after all these years... had it since.. errr...  crazy long ago..  form..1?
and i proud to say it has only changed its battrey once.... was quite hard to open up.. lots of mini clips and a shortcircuite reset required.. but.. anyways thats all done.... its gonna retire now.. after all the mud and grim i've put it through in scout camps, all the swimming and water torrents, all the speed works on bikes, etc etc... it did break before, but i mange to find the small piece and glue it back.. this time a frisbee hit it and yeah... the chassis broke.. =( oowh well... time to move on and not be so sentimental

and.... cash converter was selling a shenhizer HD380 pro at RM299.... went back home to check out the reviews.. went back the next day to grab it.. it was too late.. gone di!!! =(

haha

"an opportunity only opens for a certain period of time,
grab it before it closes"

friends

"A: Are all the friends you meet good?
B: Nope, but they all have the potential to be"

was just wondering about what it means to have friendship with people.
what does it require of a person to acquire, gain, earn, get, believe, produce, etc etc
it....

making things so complicated when its not.
it just comes naturally doesn't it?

communication is...

new layout


hmmm been kinda bored with the old layout...
and.. the templete was still the old old html one... so... yup..

motor accident


‎"How can you be so obtuse?" Andy said to warden Norton.. haha Shawshank Redemption's a classic!

and.. singing the greek alphabets is wayy too fun.. like learning abc in kindergarten all over again.

hmm.. what else to add abt my day, this blog has been.. dead for so long.

i have been dead for so long,
felt really empty and void.
life was a mundane daily chore,
repeating the same thing over and over again.

until i got hit by a car,
was riding the good ol' AM 799.
made of solid steel that honda cup 65cc
but it wasn't what saved me.

it was God.
it was a God given chance to live again.
i realized that we could die anytime.
and that everyday is a gift.

i stood by at the federal highway... just a few meters from where broken pieces of my bike lay... the cars we're zooming past... they looked and were moving so much faster...
80km/h seemed to be slow when i was still with them in that crazy flow of machineries

stopping and standing at the the side of things.. to just look.. gave me time to see ... a bigger picture ... and cherish that

everyday is

a chance to change.
a chance to enjoy and yet discipline.
a chance to forgive.
a chance to love.
i'm glad i met you.
it really has made me come alive.
yet i know that it is only You that i can rely on,
to be everlasting.

FIREEE!!

so i was riding back from paradigm at midnight after watching Les Miserables, courtesy of big brother
when i saw the road lights starting to flicker.. and just go completely off.. the once brightly lit road became as dark as ..... a kampung road xD

at the traffic lights i saw an electric pole on FIRE! ...  interesting....the poles code: "SS24/1 pole 23"

so i just parked the bike at the boom gate, hoped in and took out my handphone.. (wow! yes i have one that works!) ... not knowing which number to dial .. i type 999 .. (with a little fear that would treat my call as a prank call) and told the suuuuper blur phone operator what was happening... she asked the same question like a billion times..

then finally said "saya sambung you ke bomba" .... and then i had to talk to them... but they already knew all the details.. cool

so after the phone call... i was waiting and just staring at the flames... feeling an occasional bust of electric-charged static in the air when the wires sparked, i presume when the insulation melted and the wires touched each other.

i was darn scared to run across, thinking if the wires snapped they could just fall in a whip like behavior due to the tension and ... maybe.. just maybe touch me.. and ... people will find a roast carcass on the floor tomorrow

but i had to do it anyway, cross my heart and hope to die... placed the helmet on and gave me a sense of safety.. ran to the house (oh, its no.1 btw) that was right under it to warn the people staying inside, before i could even ring the door bell, their two dogs jumped up and started a barking symphony .. (wow, dogs actually work?) but i rang it just in case .. and then an old uncle peeped out the window .. and it look to me that we was abit paranoid of me xD (i was still wearing my helmet) .. but i just shouted 'fire' in whatever langue i could

he came down anyway after... what seemed like a long time, and i pointed it to him for his own eyes to see.. his face was epic, eyes wide open, mouth agape, right hang adjusting his specs to make sure he's seeing the real thing...

so ok that was done... mmhmm what else to do while waiting... i timed the bomba's response..

while waiting, the security came.. and tought i was a thief .. lol... so i took of my helmet and pointed the fire to them.... then they like.. "ohhhh"

.. haha so 10 minutes.. then the heroic fireman, all hunky and tall and ready to save the world... yeah rite... they were sooooooo round!!!!!!!!!!!! xD the fire jacket looked like it couldn't even zip up pass their bellies~!!

anyways by then the fire was already dying down and didn't look any more scary than a candle on a birthday cake

owh, the bomba was a lil confuse getting in too, due to all the boom gates, lol.... if anything else was on fire i.e. a house or something, don't count much on the fireman to arrive before most of the things have finshed burning down to ashes.... unless you live like.. beside the bomba station in ss2

anyway, when the bomba arrived... they stared at it.. and told me... they can't do anything about it.. ????????? and he told me to call TNB next time at 1454 ... how the *bleep* do you want me to remember TNB's number?????  so we just stood underneath and watch the fire as tough it was some really delayed new year's firework that forgot to go off a week ago

and then the fire man started telling me about.. "bila api kecil ia kawan, bila besar ia.....?" lol, good thing school thought us peribahasa .. and stuff like, if you sprayed water at it, the water would conduct the.. blablabla... mhmm "you don't sayyy"

boy, how i wish i had marsh mellows to roast .....

so tthe bomba just left while it was still burning and asked us to wait for TNB to come..... and i was like, i ain't gonna wait the whole night here... who knows how many hours till they respond... so i told the house owner to have a pleasant night and that Jesus loves him.. and he was like "brotherrrrr, thank you so much" haha.... good to know i'm not a perceived thief anymore

so...goodnight... hope you learnt something about our police and bomba from this post..
don't be scared to dial 999 xD

gonna start working tomorrow! yea.. gotta wake up early... boo =(
owh btw, ISC 6 was awesome
