Infatuated with the familiar melodies, many thoughts came into mind.. Often, we are so busy with "stuff" that we tent to forget something important..
Today, I found a missing piece in my heart, my love of life... Starting from tomorrow, I hope that I could put in all effort in sustaining this "lover" of mine, because it will never do me any harm. =)

Song of goodbye
Holiday has just passed like that. No one will ever groan how long a holiday would be, right? Anyways, it's just a short-term rest to prepare yourself for a longer journey (chinese idioms). I'm awaiting the long-term, permanent rest in The Celestial City..
Prepare to make sacrifices to the Lord, It's nothing compared to what he has done for us, to die on the Cross to save our sins. It doesn;t mean that you have to be poor to serve the Lord/ gave up potential of earning money.
Matthew 19：24
It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.
It's difficult, but it's not impossible, let not your riches to draw you away from your faith!! Our heart should be committed to the Lord, there will of course be sufferings, persecution & self denial.. But have faith, In the Lord. =)
Do not wait, repent of our sins now, while it's still not too late.

Can I earn it?
"Come humbly to God to plead upon His mercy to save you..".. " come as you are, as sinner, to the Lord Jesus Christ" Pastor Poh's Talk #3,youth camp 2008.
Wait not, for you to become better only then turn to Lord. It's by God's choice that I can be saved, not mine, but could I earn it?
It's true that many old folks are unwilling to turn to Christ as they want to stay together with their loved ones in hell when they met their time. However, there is no trace of gratitude, love in hell.. Why be so stubborn? Why moan while it's not appreciated? Why waste money, energy and effort? Why not do something that's helpful to yourself instead? - To repent our sins and trust in Jesus Christ.
All these objections arises out of the tradition of sustaining a culture... I just hope that my grannies will understand it.....

Happy New Year~~
I came across something today that I would like to share.
Revelation 21:1
NOw I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away.. And i heard a loud voice from the throne saying " now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them"
Today you celebrate the beginning of a new year. One day you will celebrate the beginning of a new world. How certain are you that you will be in the new world one day? Hopefully all of us will grab this opportunity while it's still available, to repent of our sins, receive The Lord Jesus Christ as our Lord and saviour. What a priceless privilege..
A new year had arrived and looking back the passed year, what major deeds have I accomplished? What are the regrets? I'll keep this to myself and should begin setting my resolutions soon.
hopefully i can stay strong with Lord's strength and may everything to be done in His glory. Also, I am thankful for what I've now. Thank you ,Lord , for giving me such experiences on what I'm doing, or where ever I am , thank you, for providing me unfailing love and undeserved blessings.
Happy new year to all~

Life is like a brief candle
So teach us to number our days,That we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12
No one will successfully stop time and "rewind" the past.. Incredible scenes in " the heroes " kept us pondered whether this would be possible in the future.. There's so many things to be done, the lists go on and on, and we only have a lifetime to do them. A lifetime sounds never-ending, but soon, everything is going to terminate.
The older you get, the more you'll feel that life is like a brief candle, I like the analogy of describing life as toilet roll, the more it rolls out, the faster it is to complete a cycle (a year, in this case).
Since, you only have the one and only one chance to live on earth, why don't we live it to the fullest?
I've been slacking for the past weeks, doing merely nothing except for the basis of human needs, sleep , eat and entertainment. But, I could have spend the holidays wisely eh? It's always easier to say than to do it in action, and I failed doing that again.. I should have chose a better way of spending my holidays, I should have get organized with plans, ................etc.............
Too many things, we couldn't accomplish it all unfortunately, so, I've learnt to choose, make priorities over another, know what should be done, and what not (entertainment) and put a balance line in between. And the most important one, is to have a strong determination and be Focus!
Everyone ought to make new year resolutions, but do they really help? Well, I made some last year, and thank God for the consistency, I managed to do it.. Hopefully you all can head towards your goal,
Happy New Year!

Is it for better or for worst?
In a moody Sunday afternoon, with my gastric juice still secreting actively, stomach undergoing retropulsion, grinding huge particles into chymes, with mixture of secretions, busy-ness of the pyloric sphincter closing and opening every 5 seconds... resulting from the huge portion of does-not-taste-so-good pho noodle (Vietnamese cuisine), suddenly came into mind that I could just blot out everything here since I'm bored.
Was spending time at my aunt's an enjoyable one? Well.. not really. But, I guess, it's worst to stay in the ghost-house-liked residence as everyone is away for vacation or etc.. Sometimes, you just cant be too long in another family, no matter how close are you to them, in terms of blood-related/ intimacy-related. because you just can't fit into their boat. You'll sink, or else you'll cause them all to sink. Duh, of course, with my personality, it's always " my choice" naturally but unfortunately to just "fade away" and become invisible intrinsically.
Today's experience was a horrible one, but through time, I guess I "adapt" better now. Waiting at church at the corner for my aunt to end her conversation with a cheong hei aunty. (so that we could head for lunch and then go home) Impatiently looking at the clock every one-of hundredth seconds, anxiously hiding myself at a corner, hoping no one will see my awkward condition, surrounded by many on-top-of-fashion's-bandwagon universities students, giggling and gossiping around...
5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes have passed.. that's awkward, you know? strange that no one will ever come to approach you and place their concern, that's so unlikely compared to my former church. Maybe, this is a bigger church, with everyone living in their own group of world?? T.T I felt un-belonged. It happens in MCAC too. why.
Scanning at the beautiful photos of my friends traveling around the world envies me. Why don't I have such a group of friends? Even, the JPA-scholars that came to McGill went to Toronto for vacation.. They dont' even bother to invite you.. cuz they are JPA scholars and I'm what? Ling, another Malaysian who came to McGill on decision (like me), was not part of it too. That's pathetic...
The seniors always talk about their happiest life during University times. How they did this and that with bunch of crazy friends, without any worries etc... Erm, well? I-think-this-is-the-happiest-moment-in-life. ?
I don't belong here , do i? Just leave it to God. Meantime will try to enjoy as much as I could.
Thank you that You gave me life so that I can experience all these, be grateful at all times.
Thank you, Dear Lord.
