Rainy Day

It rains, when nothing seem fresh

It rains, when the land is too dry to blossom

It rains, when there is this hunger in mankind that is thirsty for the rain drops.

It rains, when you know no matter what you do does not turn out to be the things you expected

It rains, when you don't even know when you will go through the rain

It rains, even though you know one day you will go through the rain, uncertianty continues to strike

It rains, even tough you are confident and believe through the rain, you will welcome rainbow, you have no liberty in time

It rains, when your passion and determination has eventually evaporated by time

It rains, when your hope become as fragile as a glass

It rains, when the faith in you has been weaken

It rains, when you see the sky that is full of stars but you dont see brightness by looking at it with your own eyes....................

Rolling stones

I am neither going to introduce this rock band nor going to analyse how many type of stones can be found in the world. 

Today, i do really want to share a message get from our church pastor, Ps. Sandra Chin. 

She shared about Jesus is the resurrection blablabla...I am not intend to explain every single words she preached because it was too long:P For those who are none believers but are interested or you would like to listen to the message, do contact me by commenting in the blog. As our church got this Message-To-Go Cds that actually recorded every week message preached by our speaker, I could get one for you if you want. Believe me, It was an awesome mesaage that you won't want to miss.

The things I want to share here is that i find it quite true when she said, roll your stones away in your life, Get out of your own cave/cage. She said life isn't about limiting yourself, we shoud not lead a life that that limit ourselves, limiting our capabilities, limiting our enthusiasm towards the things we fight for, limiting our mind set that enable us to be more creative and innovative....

Is true isn't it ?! Too many times in our life we just think that we cannot do this cannot perform that. This is especially true when we face some obstacles/chalenges in life. We tend to find loopholes or exucuses to really deal with the real problems. Some even think of how to "bypass" such problems. The thing is when you continue to avoid,continue to "bypass", how many routes could you really "bypass" or avoid? If you drive in Klang Valley you would know, no matter how you "bypass" or avoid, the traffic jam still troubling you:P

My justification is that no matter how big is your problem, please do not give up. There is always a way for you when there is a will. Is a choice that you choose. The time when you choose to deal with your troubles, that is the time you will see the unseen hopes.

Dedicated to all my beloved friends as usual. 

Gathering with dear juniors

Best regards from,

In a chilly cold raining day,

there is a lady,

a lady that is full of faith and care in her life,

waiting to cross a road that surfaced with drastic flow of water.

Not forget to mention there is this cloudy sky with storm and thunder dancing and sparkling up there, she is a lady that have unseen determination.

What kind of life you want?

What kind of life we really want???

I come across this question in mind after I was being asked by our church pastor, do we just want to settle for life? A life with a nice job,nice salary,grand car, fabulous house,pretty wife and handsome husband,happy family,owning status in society etc seems like become the major dreams of most of the people in this world, simple, relax and wonderful........

If you would to ask me Andrew, aren't this what you dream of??? Frankly speaking, if you would to ask me 3 years ago, I will definitely tell you, Yes, definitely this what I would aim and go for it. Today if you would to ask me this I will still tell you I would like to have a wonderful life with some of the examples stating above. But, recently, it comes to my mind, is that all Andrew? Is that all you would like to do?Where is your love, your care to the society?Besides planing to climd up the corporate ladder, what else you can do Andrew? Are you that busy to think of helping others?

I was pondering, hey Andrew life is not just about having a nice girlfriend or nice wife, life is not just about you hide in your rooms watching series non-stop or playing computer games ceaselessly, life is not just about go shopping,watching movies in the cinema, life is not just about going for your dreams, life is not just about having fun and stay happy.................

Too many times, we just want a settled life that we can enjoy to the most. I was wondering if we keep on carrying this kind of mindset, what are the furute country or even the world is heading?! 

With economy turmoil continue its widespread effect in the world, are there something we could do besides worrying? Come on my dear young generation, look around you, there are so much more you could do. 

You must be wondering, what la this Andrew suddenly say this kind of stuff.......

I have come across this after I have participated in a small community project with my church cell groups to show a little of our care and love to those unfortunate children in the community. Showing your love and care to the society won't cost you much. Some times, you just need a will.

Dedicated to the people whom I love. If you think you are more than able to lend a hand in this society, please do not hesitate to do so, because your society needs you badly.........

叹！！！

本想说， 我的部落格应该写些比较正面的事务。但今天的这一则新闻真的让人快乐不起来。

1。 哈林婚变事件

哈林一直是我很欣赏的一位艺人，欣赏他主持不仅了得，歌唱功力也属实力派唱将。也许其他艺人发生这种事我应该会没有反应。可是哈林，一个我很欣赏的艺人,一个听他的歌听了不下五年的歌手,这样的际遇的确让人感到惋惜。

依稀记得伊能静写给他唱的《春泥》

漫天的話語　紛亂落在耳際　你我沉默不回應 

牽你的手　你卻哭紅了眼睛　路途漫長無止盡 

多想提起勇氣　好好的呵護你　不讓你受委屈　

苦也願意  那些痛的記憶　落在春的泥土裡　

滋養了大地　開出下一個花季 

風中你的淚滴　滴滴落在回憶裡　讓我們取名叫做珍惜  

迷霧散盡　一切終於變清晰　愛與痛都成回憶 

遺忘過去　繁花燦爛在天際　等待已有了結局 

我會提起勇氣　好好地呵護你　不讓你受委屈　苦也願意  

那些痛的記憶　落在春的泥土裡　滋養了大地　開出下一個花季 

風中你的淚滴　滴滴落在回憶裡　讓我們取名叫做珍惜  

漫天紛飛的花語　落在春的泥土裡　滋養了大地　開出下一個花季 

風中你的淚滴　滴滴落在回憶裡　讓我們取名叫做珍惜  

那些痛的記憶　落在春的泥土裡　滋養了大地　開出下一個花季 

風中你的淚滴　滴滴落在回憶裡　

讓我們取名叫做珍惜  讓我們懂得學會珍惜......

 如今还爱的下去吗?只有哈林知道

 漫步人生路,这则新闻给我的启示是爱情是脆弱的.婚姻应该是为相爱的双方带来幸福的.

 经不起考验的婚姻就如生锈的铁,就算锑上漆也抵挡不住那以腐化的位置,叫人痛心.

 哈林加油...小孩加油...

Seasons of Life (Spring)

Spring

Spring wakes the mother earth up 

Birds flying freely on the sky

Fish swim wildly in the sea 

Butterflies and bees dancing among the flowers

nature sings out loud

Spring o spring ...........

Feeling your existence is just like the sun shines in the early morning,

warm and comfortable.

Stress, busyness, none stop workload...all this melancholy feeling suddenly be put aside 

by the wind that blow towards to my face.

Relax and Refreshing

Spring o spring...........

You have provided such a nice scene for people to fall in love.

Thou I never dream on a relationship that a rose could buy,

the fragrance of the flowers blow away my nervous and uncertainty.

Make me realise,

I should work on a relationship that could make both hearts shine.

 

I have a dream

Ever since I graduated, I am always looking forward to continue my master degree in Computer Science. It has become my dream to actually gaining enough working experience and at the same time to do some of the things I like while working

Continue my master degree is one of my interest. Since I was in UM, I am always looking forward to become a lecturer one day. In order to make my dream comes true i need to obtain at least master degree. 

Hope i could study my master soon next year.

That is one of my simple yet tough dreams. Do you have one. I hope all my friends at least got one dream in mind to fight for.

Dedicated to my beloved friends and a little Sunflower that is always there to support me. Thanks a lot.

In my opinion, newspaper should be accurate, sharp in bring out points to readers.

Luckily we got a lot of online news to read. One of them that I would like to recommend is Malaysiakini . Its Malay and Mandarin versions are free to read. Haha is great to understand 3 languages.......

The Arrest of Teresa Kok

Shocking, shocking and shocking......

A MP that is so nice and full of energy to help people had been arrested under ISA.

I am very curious what this BN is doing???

Angry because she is arrested without proper investigation nor sufficient proofs....

Is she a racist or an idiot that would give such remarks to my dearest Malay friends???

I would not believe that, in fact it is the accusation from the Ex-Menteri Besar.

Pls follow the links to find out more, Teresa is innocent

This is too despicable in using ISA to arrest a woman without any point at all.

To all my friends, I sincerely argue you all to read more news from VARIOUS sources, don't be decieved by government back newspapers.

I truly hope the defection claimed by Anwar would become a reality.

We are sick of this kind of governance.

What I can say to my friends is "Tak kira bangsa apa kita, negaraku Malaysia tetap memerlukan kita untuk menjadikannya lebih gemilang, Malaysia Boleh!!!"

Wish all my malay friends Selamat Berpuasa.Specially dedicated to Wani, Mahathir, Hanani, Mastura, Funna, Fard & Hadi, Haiki06/07 members and Entrepreneurship Project Members.

Write in a very dissapointed and sad Saturday evening. Yet I truly believe there is still hope for Malaysians.

Joke at US Embassy

Today is an exciting day to me as I went to US Embassy to apply my business visa.

Quite a number of applicants there and the phenomenon was quite tense up as a lot of the applicants who had been interviewed were rejected to be granted the USA visa. All I can observe is that people are all in serious and nervous face including me, myself.

As the counters for interview are in open concept, Applicants who are waiting can easily listen to the conversation between the officer and applicant being interviewed. The below conversation made me laugh out loud in heart....

Officer:" Have you been to US before?"

Lady:"Yes I had."

Officer:"Why did you go there?"

Lady:"I went there to visit my boyfriend."

Officer:"So now you' re renewing the visa to visit your boyfriend again?"

Lady:"No, he is my ex-boyfriend now, but we are still good friends......."

I was wondering and curious do we need to be that details to reveal all this personal stuff to the officer??? hahaha........

Working Life

     These are the photos that I had with my colleagues at Mid Valley Disco Bowling. Working life still busy, but at least we know how to balance......

Lunch Box

Haha....that's my favourite lunch box.......
Actually in this high inflation era is better to cook our own.
The reasons I do not like to go out to have lunch is because:
1. Food out there is expensive
2. I dont quite like oily food, prefer meals with more vegetables, by cooking myself I can adjust this
3. Below picture is my favourite mee goreng served with a lot of vege....Inside got cabbage,garlic and onion, blended chili etc....
4. Ya normally, I will wake up at 6am in the morning to prepare my lunch box.
5. Since share bathroom with people, it is good for me to wake up early to take my bath before working. Hence, i will normally use up my float time(in between after bath and take bus to work) to cook before going to work...
6. To ensure I was not at a very clumsy situation in the morning, I will normally prepare the ingredient at night time. so in the morning i can speed up the cooking process.....

~Yummy~

In future, I plan to bring soup to work.....haha that one has to wait until I buy a nice container........

One Step Forward

“No I don’t feel like go to church, to me it makes no different in praying by my own, I can still maintain the relationship with God.”…It was a nothing but ordinary afternoon, one of my best friends and I are discussing about our faith to God after our assignment discussion in our faculty. I knew by saying that to her is quite disappointing but all I want to do was to turn her down so that she would not keep persuading me to go back to church. I had not joining church activities for about 1 year, the relationship with God is getting worse. I start to do things by my own strength which sometimes could be quite draining. A lot of things happen in that particular period, although I could overcome those unpleasant things but frankly speaking I was not happy and felt extremely exhausted.

“Do you know by saying that, we as Christians would not have hope already? Why there are still so many people willing to go to church? We go to church not because it is our obligation, it is because we can find God’s unfailing love to us. Do you know that? Would you like to try to come to my church (Acts Church) and have a look?” My friend argued and insisted I should give myself a chance to go back to church again. It was not easy for me to make the decision because I felt tired and no meaning about going to church every Sunday but as she is so determining and keep on persuading me on the matter, I decided to give it a try.

After attending Acts Church, I find it is a place where I could regain my passion to God. Brothers and sisters in the church are not only nice, they come here with a clear purpose –“Honor God, Help Man”. Unknowingly, as I was attending the church without feeling any pressure nor treating it as an obligation, I realized that it has become my soul bread where I can find courage, confidence and love to face any obstacles or challenges in my life.

Although I am extremely busy dealing with my final year project and assignments in my course, this situation did not give me a feeling that going to church is a burden. In fact, I am enjoying it ……

So what am I bit about the bush here???

By the end of the semester(5th semester), I received my result slip with a shock!!! It was a result I am longing but had yet to obtain before – 3.78/4.00, it was the first time I make myself into the dean list, Praise The Lord. I believe it is God that make all this possible. What I want to testify here is our God is a great God, He is always willing to give us a second chance if we dare to take an initial step.One Step Forward, you will experience the difference. Looking back at the decision I made, I thanked God for using my best friend to speak to me. All the glory is yours, my lord.

(P/S: By God's grace I have successfully obtained 4.00/4.00 in my final semeter (6th sem) which has qualified me to obtain first class in my degree. Praise the lord:-))
