Ethan Ethan!

For all of u who misses my godson, here's a treat for you!
Makes me wana buy a ticket to fly over NOW! hehehehe....

The Issue of Trusting God!

God knows the desires of our hearts because He watches over us, our coming in and going out.

I’ve been praying about buying my own place for about a year. If you know my story, my parents had a financial breakdown about 2 years ago and we had to sell everything to pay the debts and from a above average inheritance I was suppose to have, it all became to nothing and so I rented my current apt and invited my parents to come and stay with me.

But last year, my dad took his EPF and gave me a downpayment. So I began my search.

But somehow or rather, as I pray, I didn’t feel that was the direction God wanted me to go so I put it off, telling my parents that it wasn’t time. Plus I was asking around and found out that I didn’t have enough money to buy a place because of the high interest rates.

I put everything off until PC mentioned it to Jaslyn, and Jaslyn sent me an email saying that AIA is giving quite a good rate. After calculating, I found out that I can afford to actually own a place! Then, the story starts to get interesting.

So, from zero to be able to get my own place, I’m already very grateful to God... But, you see, the God that we serve is a big God. When He is out to bless us, He MEANS it!

First, the price. PC is quite accurate in these giving figures actually. She told me to get an apt about RM125K. But me, I’m not good with figures. But I remember one day, I was sitting down in my room, prayed and in my own figures and calculation, I came up with the number 125K also. But when I started to check out the prices and the apartments, most of them were asking for RM135K to RM145K. But I was still at peace. Lepaklah… you’ll know its God’s will when it’s happens accordingly lah…

I saw about 4 to 5 units but I quite like this unit on the 8th floor but the owner is asking for RM135K. When my agent asked me how much I wanna offer for it, I pulled the figure from my head – RM125K. Now, I was expecting the owner to say it’s too much to reduce RM10K and blah blah blah… but somehow or rather, after some thoughts and mumbling, she agreed! I was shocked! She DID reduced RM10K! That’s why when I say it’s God’s will, it will happen. I felt at peace So, that’s another blessing from God.

Then, come a scary part. Being first timer in these legal matters, I was looking for a lawyer and it was so expensive, the kind of misc costs they put on paper! Then I went away on a cell trip to frasers and all in all, I was late in getting my Sales and Purchase Agreement! By the stated rule, I was to pay a penalty of 2% from the sales price which is about 2+K! can you imagine me suddenly shaken? Hehehe… I was shaken but it’s funny to describe. It’s like I know I was walking on water I know I was suppose to be sinking but somehow, I was at peace and not sinking.

I finally found marcus, he was so helpful, he rushed it for me and when he called the owner, she said that she’s going away for a long weekend and can only do it the following week! So, now, who’s the one late? She! So I don’t have to pay penalty! Yoo hooo…. Ehhehehe… phew… close call? Yes! Very!

Then next, there were many many banks offering loans that seems very attractive and benefits here and there so for a while I was confused by too many choices. Again I tried to calculate but I just got so confused, I stopped, prayed and I remembered that it was JAslyn that first gave me the first green light on getting an apartment, as I continue to pray I knew that the peace of God is upon that. So I made up my mind, with or without my calculation, I was going to take the AIA option. So, once I obeyed, I again see God’s blessing.

Because of all late here and there added up, I only get to apply my loan next week. So I see another blessing! I was asking Jaslyn about submitting the loan, and she said ‘AIA is reducing the interest rates for new policy holders, starting on the 11th may!’ So, I was late for A REASON!

Today, as we take out our offerings to give, are your hearts, and your lifestyle able to trust God for His provision even when you felt you are walking on water? In 1 timothy 6:17, the Bible says that “God who RICHLY PROVIDES FOR US with everything for our enjoyment!” Today, as you give, give with a willing and a trusting heart, knowing that God is ALL OUT to bless you!

As the ushers proceed, let me read you some verses from the Bible.

2 Samuel 22:31 As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
Psalm 9:10, And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
Psalm 28:7, The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him.
Psalm 31:19, Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men!
Psalm 37:5, Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.
Psalm 56:3, Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.
Proverbs 28:25, …But he who trusts in the LORD will be prospered.
Psalm 31:14, But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”

Princess PC - part 1 & part 2

26 - 27 February, some of us (always called as 'girl') wanted to treat PC a trip and so we checked in at the Cyberview Lodge Resort at Cyberjaya, excited to go for the SPA experience but was GREATLY disappointed as they were FULLY BOOKED THE WHOLE WEEKEND! and to think that the spa prices were high!

so we went on to plan B where she crowned herself Princess PC the weekend and we gets to do the DIY Spa on her! hehehehe.... su scrubbed her, me related to the black mask, ah foong full-body massage and even end with elaine painting our nails! ehehhee... we all agreed that Ah Foong got the touch to start a salon! heeheh...
we even had our own DIY banana split! hehehe.. thanks to Charlene! too bad lisa had to leave early for teaching class.....
9 - 11th April, PC took us ( 'girls') to Frasers' Hill.

this time, the whole gang went. it was good fun. we bunked in together, chatting, watching in-house cinematic movie and ate and ate and ate.... hehehhe.... you won't believe the amount of food we brought (even pastor was laffing at us!) for just a two nite stay. eehehehehe...

the strawberry farm was closed. the owner went away... so we just walked around, have afternoon tea with scones and lisa shared such an inspiring story! we prayed for one another after that.



there's got to be more to life...

I want to believe that there is more to life! there's got to be!
Life can't be just sleep like a log, work like dog, have all the fun in the world and die. then, there's no meaning in this process call 'life'. then might as well not begin cos there's no closure, just period!

that's why the dance theme was 'more to life'. i didnt do it cos i suka-suka.. i prayed about it, think about it, ponder about it and came to conviction of this message. i want to tell everyone that's there that there is more to your and my life! there's got to be more that what the MTV is saying. If that is all there is to life, then it's quite a stupid, meaningless 'life'. But thank God, there IS more.. there is more.. there is God, there's a mission, there's a purpose, there's a reason...

Don't just sit there! Go find your mission else that would be your lifetime story: BORED TO DEATH!

I don't wan! I don't wan! I cant just exist meaningless! No! No!

I hope the dance touches your life as much as it did to mine. Reminding us all, finding and fulfilling our purpose in life.

to all the dancers in this project, a big thanks and hugs to you all! You've obeyed God and took one step of faith and obedience to reveal God's message to His people. You've found something more in your life...

think we are serious? think again! hehehe.... =)

Oh, one thing i must share!
Right before the performance, while waiting beside the stage, (due to lack of warmup + stretching), i pulled a tendon on my right thigh! It was so painful i knew i cant go on stage with it and keep a smiley face + dance!
So i quickly ask Nai Lin to pray for me. She laid hands on me and prayed.
5 mins later, the pain was gone! Praise God! wooo hoooo....
Talk about Instant Healing! =)
You should try it next time.

F-08-02

That is my new aprtment!!! wooo hoooo.... oh my goodness! my very own apartment! it's my name! ehehhe..
super excited and super scared at the same time! hehe..

hmm.. was checking out aprtments and felt real easy with this unit and also the owner was kinda nice and all but I was hoping that I can get the aprt at a reasonable price.. i've been praying for God's guidance and one morning, i remember calculating and writing down this figure RM125ooo. So, when the owner ask me how much am i offering, i just pluck this figure from the back of my memory, thinking she'ld probably increase the amount, cos that's what everyone would do.

to my great surprise, she said yes!! wow!! i was quite shock! Praise God! wow!! praise God! again! ehehe..
so i went to put deposit and all, so i'm on my way to be a proud owner of F0802... wat a nice number.. heheh... currently, everything about this aprtment seems nice....... EXCEPT... the COST!

puching calculator, day and nite! legal documentations and lawyer cost about RM5k! this is burning a big hole in my pocket! not to mention the new furnitures and all. Am decided to second-hand-sell-it-ALL... cos everything's old and been with me since my previous house.. like more than 10 years liow.. some's leaking - wear and tear and such... been prowling furniture malls all week... ikea seems a good choice.

from major stuffs like modifying the kitchen, a new door for the master bedroom (previous tenant smashed it), grille the windows, living room couch, tv cabinet, water filter, beds, wardrobes, to minor stuffs like toilet rack, bookcases, microwave, water boiler, curtains and such, everything speaks loud and coming from my own wallet. 95% of the cost will be bore my me lor since i'm the one supporting my family, this is really the time i envy ppl with silver spoon.... sigh.. but good thing got GOD! else i also dunno how to go thru all these. sure stressed till crazy in the head! welcome to the world of independent-hood/ness and such.

oh well, will update u when i really shift in...

zech 8:14-17

Zech 8:14-17, This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Just as I had determined to bring disaster upon you and showed no pity when your fathers angered me," says the LORD Almighty, "So now I have determined to do good again to Jerusalem and Judah. Do not be afraid. Therse are the things you are to do: Speak the truth to each other, and render true and sound judgment in your courts; do not plot evil against your neighbor, and do not love to swear falsely. I hate all this," declares the LORD.
What can i say about my Jesus?
He's the Son of God, He is the God whom I have a personal relationship with.He came to my rescue countless times and I believe He is God. He's My God.

What can i say about my Bible?

I've read it many times and it has touched my life too many times. It sells more copies than the DVC!
It stood the test of time and place!

there are many reasons that many people have found to answer your questions, you can find it here....
http://christiananswers.net/menu-at1.html or http://www.davincicode.org.sg

How could a 2 years research by a novelist, debunk a historical book that's been around for more than 2000 years AND just this mere 2 years of research, succeed over numerous professors, archaelogists, and brainy peoples that had been trying to do it for the past couple of milleniums? Can Dan be more brainy than all these many brains put together? i seriously doubt it lor... =)

if u would gif dan brown the chance to invade your mind and faith, it's only fair for u to gif the bible a chance to invade your mind and faith too! so, why not pick up a real bible and see what God has to say?

yeah, so there is the possiblility that I am wrong rite? but dun deduct the possibility that YOU are wrong. So, why must I be the one that's wrong?

As Christians, let us prophesy that as the ppl watch the movie or read the book, the seed of the word of God...will grow well, the vine will yield its fruit, the ground will produce its crops, and the heavents will drop their dew. God will give all these things as an inheritance to the remnant of this people...(zec 8:12)

and let us pray for ourselves to...not be afraid, speak the truth to each other, and render true and sound judgment in your courts, do not plot evil against your neighbor, do not love to swear falsely, love truth and peace and let us go entreat the LORD and seek the LORD Almighty.

If we have the Word of God... "ten men from all languages and nations will take firm hold of one Jew(Christian) by the hem of his robe and say, 'Let us go with YOU, because we have heard that God is with YOU.'"

Last note, if Heaven DO exist, u have an eternal penalty to suffer. Don't wait til then to 'realise'. By then, repent also no use, u've missed the cutting line.... i'm not stupid, r u not stupid too? =)
