justice

Psa 82:3 Defend the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted
and needy.

Psa 89:14 Justice and judgment are the foundation of Your throne; mercy and truth shall go before Your face.

Pro 21:3 To do justice and judgment is more pleasing to Jehovah than sacrifice.

Ecc 5:8 If you see the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, do not marvel at the matter. For He who is higher than the highest watches; and there are some higher than they.

Hab 1:4 Therefore the law has become helpless, and justice does not always go forth. For the wicked entraps the righteous; therefore justice goes forth, being perverted.


Col 3:25 But he who does wrong shall receive justice for the wrong which he did, and there is no respect of persons.



it is a distortion of God's creation to treat animals as though human but it is a further mockery to God for humans to treat other humans like animals/slaves to them.

Lord, i pray for JUSTICEto prevail over those who are doing evil. push back the work of darkness and evil. let it be uprooted. and let there be no more people falling into the traps.

and i pray for PEACE and COMFORT and MERCY and HOPE for the weak, those that are victimize and those that are taken captives and those that are in a recovery program. HEAL them and make them whole.

In Jesus' name i pray, amen!


Whatcha gonna do with your life?

Do something with the short lifespan that you have.
stand against injustice and slavery.

support 1a.m. Change Your World Tour as we spread the awareness of human trafficking that is happening in our watch, in this generation. as we stand against the evil of letting closing our eyes to those that are being victimised.


into thin air tells the story of mountain climbers who attempted to scale Mount Everest at a dangerous time of year when the weather was unpredictable. Several teams tried in vain to reach the peak as a fierce storm blew in. An American team on one side of the mountain failed as an Indian team on the other side was stranded with no food or water. They were about to freeze to death when a japanese team following their path came upon the. but rather than stopping to help, they continued on.

Later, when asked why they passed on and allowed these Indian men to die, the captain of the japanese team said, "if we stopped we would have never made it to the top. above 8,000 meters is not a place where people can afford morality."

the japanese climbers made it clear they were about climbing, not rescuing others. We, too, can choose whether we will just be about living or rescuing others.
(excerpt from Series U Pocket Devotion)

THIS STORY HAS GRIPPED ME OVER AND OVER AGAIN. AM I THE KIND THAT CLOSE MY EYES, CLOSE MY CONSCIENCE, WASH MY HANDS AND LET THEM DIE. OR SHOULD I DO SOMETHING AND BE INVOLVED. WHICH CATEGORY ARE YOU CHOOSING??


here are some people that decided to do something about it: http://www.ijm.org

William Burke said that all that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
i was thinking about this - if good men do nothing in the face of evil triumphing, why are they still called good men??

mummified...

last nite, i wanted to try a new drop-to floor- slide-roll-roll up routine and ended up with a twitching right arm. hahhaah..... oh well...

so i went to get wrist+palm guard. i dont believe this. i tried on at least 4 of them - ALL too big for my small little cute petite hand.... if u dont un, it's suppose to be tight around so that it gives support but it was all loose and no support at all. oh well..

so end up i got the wrap version.... again... it's tooooo long for my small little cute petite hand.. so i had to wrap it longer else it's like one big bulk there! hahhaah...

this is how it looks like now. maybe can use as costume dressed up as "mummy"..... ooooo...
not the prettiest way to wrap or even the correct way to do it... but then... oh well... as long as i'm ok with it, (and yc added) gives support and not cutting off blood supply, it is fine for me. hahaha...

date with jess - brunei

if you did not know. the fish went swimming out of the tank, across the south china sea to see jessica chan chek sie! hehehe... sorry took so long to blog about it. cos i need some discipline to get out of the lazy holiday mood... hahahahah

i left a note on my table in case anyone was looking for me.. only two person leave miss me notes. hehe.. nice to read when i came back to office.


ARRIVAL NIGHT:

i landed, i was excitedly walking out of the airport and thinking to myself - Jessica better be here to get me.. hahaha.. and then from behind this tall guy, a girl came out of hiding, we screamed and laughed and hugged ignoring the stares.. ahahha... oh well...
we went into her car and she start the car - lo and behold - a very familiar voice came on from the radio!! - it's PC's sermon!!! i laughed and laughed and laughed... i tink it's God's way of telling me there's no running away from my pastor and my boss. i told jess and we both had a good laugh before switching channels. hhehehehe...

we went to check in at the hotel - which i cant remember the name now - ops.. hehehe... it is very very nice... thanks to jess.

these are the four paintings at the hotel's walkway that i super duper like. i really like it. everyday i walk pass it, i will for sure take a look. somehow it just attracts me. ah...

my first meal - at CheezBox next to THE MALL - beef noodle. hahaha... with my bubble tea with bubble and nata de coco thingy.. hehehe...

some of the things i brought from kl people to jess. hehehe.. she is missed here..


FIRST DAY:


the next day, we woke up real early to go on a road trip! yahoo!
we drove from brunei to miri! wow.... (like driving from kl to melaka).
early morning breakfast at the hotel's cafe - "Charcoal".

road trip day.

this is Naafi shopping centre. kinda like a small supermarket. we were enroute to miri and purposely detoured into here. and the rows of chocolates u see in the pictures are all the imported chocolates i've seen in nz n aus!! jorrr....... want to buy all of them! hehe... but i didnt. but i reeeeaaallii like this corner of the imported food i like. dont mind my expression. jess didnt say when she was gonna shoot. plus the store owner was just plain surprise seeing these two "suah ku" taking picture in the supermarket! hahahaah....
we pass by this small little park and so we do wad tourists do. stop and take picture lor! hahaha...

there are many culture/rules/understanding in brunei... just like any other country. we drove past this town where it's compulsory for everyone to reverse park here. in case of an emergency, everyone just drive off... it's the oil refinery factory. sample below.

we crossed the border and the officials were really casual about it. they didnt take my departure card. they didnt ask to see if my face is the face at the passport. they just stamp stamp and we breeze thru.
i was rather intrigued by this!! hahaha.... i kept laughing when i saw it.
LIM WEI LING DEPARTED ON 24 APR 2009.
don't u think it sounded like i died??? ahahhaha... like my obituary.... what a way to put it. =P
ok. after we crossed the border, we went to look for belacan beehoon (which i really like also) but then dont have so we ended up eating this bowl of 'thing' that i dunno wad it's called (dunno wad 'hu' i think). if u want to know wad it's called, ask jess to say it. hahaha... but it's quite nice. a little bit sourish kind. and i drink ribena sprite. hehe... this is really like. after this we went to a mall nearby to just roam around for a while.
while jess went for class, i sleep in the car. i was really really really sleepy. it was very very very hot but i dont really mind cos i get to sleep for a while. hahaha... that's jess coming out from class.
after class, jess felt hungry. i feel hungry. so went to search for the bah chang uncle. hahahah... but he's not home. so we went to search for him at the Tamu (pasar malam).
ok.so in the end we flew (i mean it literal at the speed jess was driving!!!!!) back to brunei for dinner and i've to try the local food - gam/glue! hahahahaha... ok.. no offence. just kidding. it's kinda starch thing call 'ambuyat' which is the local food. they eat this with dishes instead of with rice. but it does taste like the home made gam tat my mom used to make for me to use for arts and craft. hahahaha... jess' 3-step to eat. roll up the thing, dip it into something and then put it into your mouth.
oh, i finally get to meet with the phantom printer, her friend, Alvin. (in case you're reading this), he seems kinda a nice guy and a really good friend of jess. they practically have a nickname for every other people they know. ahhahaha.... ops.. should have taken a picture with him too.

SECOND DAY:

we woke up late, so no more breakfast from the hotel. so we went to seek out the laksa shop for laksa + cucur + sotong kangkung as breakfast. ops. forgot to take picture cos too hungry. hahhaa... then we drove around town. jess took me to her primary, secondary school, the govt offices, take a look at the village at the sea and then we went to.....

i HAVE to tell you. i must go to Charles & Keith. it's a MUST in my touring itineraies to Brunei. hahaha.... but the sad part was i didnt buy anything! argh. i flew all the way there some more... sigh... oh well. sorry pc, no souvenir for you. no sale.

after C&K, i went back to the hotel to rest while Jess went to run some errands and all that. then we drove to the Empire Hotel just in time to see the egg yolk dropped into the sea! the place is pretty. i like the benches by the sea where we can just sit there and feel the wind, the sea, bask in the greatness of God. it's an amazing reminder.
after sunset, we went to pick up Vely for dinner at this delicious Italian restaurant. yum... i like italian... white sauce cabonara... ooo..... yumm... the chef actually whipped up something for me that's not in the menu. and it's really yummie! i like it.

that's Vely, it's been fun meeting her. she's been a great sport, funny, pretty and most of all, she cares about jess. i get to hear her perspective of how Jess is doing. i really appreciated it. after dinner i took time to hear from Jess and we prayed and watch whale for the rest of the night.
LAST DAY:
my physical food before spiritual food. breakfast before church. dim sum! yahoo! yummie... just 2 min walk from our hotel. LUCKY RESTAURANT!

i visited jess' church - the St Andrew's Anglican church. the service was great! i really enjoyed myself. being the nobody there, i enjoyed the service tremendously without ppl asking me for things. i felt totally free to worship and just hungry for God's words to fill me up! the priest was preaching on "Discovering your identity in Christ". one thing that stucked with me was the story he shared from the "Pilgrim's Progress" book where the guy called 'Christian,' - his name before knowing God is 'Graceless'. it kinda stuck me. he's not called 'sinner' or 'worldly' but 'graceless.' it's so true. if we are called christian but still do not live by the grace of the God, then there is no difference. we are still just 'graceless' and not 'christian'..... think about that!

That is Jess and Nic (brother n sister). i think between me and jess, we kinda dragged Nic up from bed with a hangover from the wedding bash the night before - just to have lunch with me and catch up of course! .. hehehe..... thank you thank you!
this is my last meal in Brunei - sushi! yahoo! the Kaizen Sushi house. Jess like this place and the food a lot.... but it's really nice. not bad at all..!
after lunch, we lepak here for a few hours wasting time til i can go check in at the airport. a kid puked right next to us stinking up the whole place! hahaha.... i didnt realise it and nic tot wad's with the cheesy smell.. ewwwww..... i entertained them with pictures and updates of the ppl in kl!

that is me and jess' last shot at the airport. saying goodbye is hard. i will miss her a lot. that's the end to my date with jess - all the way across the south china sea. it's time for the fish to swim back to the aquarium but it's also nice to know there are ppl who misses me here and is happy to see that i am back horr..! =)
*i finally saw Jess wearing the 'you shall see greater things' tee shirt


in case you've not seen all of it... here it is...
it's all masterly done by him.

i am blessed

did i tell u angels came and fix my baby? hehe...
baby needed a hdd-transplant due to bad sector. that's why it kept crashing...

it was pretty stressful but then plans were made to fix it on sunday but it didnt turned up so baby crashed again at night. i text to angel and told her i am just going to office, take my backup hdd so i can go to work the next day at another place, then go to take money to buy the new hdd and then go to sleep.

i came home, changed and went to bed... then an sms came...

angel and boyfriend (yes, some angels are allowed to have boyfriends) went dating at digital mall to get me the hard disk, casing for it so that got screw driver, came all the way to pusat bandar puchong to do operation transplant for my baby and put the bad hdd into the casing to be my ext hdd so that i can retrieve the data!! how brilliant can they be!!!

i couldnt ask for more.
but they were really angels.
they were thoughtful enough to even sponsor about half of the hdd money so that i am not stressed with the many other bills that i had to fork out in the same season (fix car twice, pay accident saman, buy new internal cdrom, buy new hdd and the other spoiled things.....)

i really really really really thank nailin and jor han for being 'family' to me... especially when i needed to not give in to my 'being sad'... you guys are the angels!


after this incident, i decided to take a break... i thought of going to brunei to visit jessica and then lo and behold, she welcomed me (of course) by providing food and entertainment. and three person actually just gave me love gift for the trip... i think the trip is kinda fully covered d!

and then yesterday, kat's company decided to go for company trip and i am being invited along now that i am 'part' of the company in a way... ahahha... yahoo! fully paid trip to Surabaya in June for me! yeah yeah yeah....

in all this, i want to testify that even though i was super tight but i decided to tithe still and then the above blessings came pouring in....

=)

belated bday breakfast

two mondays ago, i made breakfast for Kat as her bday present... ehehhe... oh well... i wanted to do a picture thingy for her but then i cant find pictures of her! so decided to change the plan to edible!
