:: BE ALERT :: BE CAUTIOUS ::

When I thought my life has reached the climax and at its best, God just brought it to a whole new level. God can make 1 million and 1 things to happen to make your life interesting, take my word for it.

There was an attempted break-in in my backyard last night between 2.30a.m. and 3a.m. I heard the dog of my neighbour started barking but couldn't care more as it stopped after a while. With a heavy head and fatigue body, I forced myself to plunge into my pillows. Suddenly, something fishy was immediately sensed when I saw the glare of a torchlight shone into my room ! I thought I was still in my dream until the second time occurred ! Swiftly I got up from my bed and grabbed my spec ! Upon realizing waking the person in the room, he got out of the hole of the fence and silently went off.

With my heart pounding hard, I rang 999 and the cops arrived within minutes. After doing some slight investigations, they went off. Though nothing was lost, nobody was hurt, it was traumatized enough for me as this was my first experience and I was all alone at home!

So, my dear friends, please be very very cautious and alert at all times that don't ever let your guard down no matter in this area, relationship with your spouse or your loving Father.

Hey all

Greetings all,
Sorry for keeping this blog dead as I didn't have time to update it following a series of events such as termination of internet connection, trips and holidays. To keep y'all updated, I'm doing real good and still adapting myself to this brand new learning environment in UM. I did have slight cultural shock when I got in here as the lecturers are definitely different from what we had in teacher's training college. Lecturers here with the title of Professor/associate prof/Dr. are always busy, busy and busy that you really don't have sufficient time to talk to them personally but only to approach them through the Internet. Yup, everything is done online here including the submission of courseworks, comments, blogging, video clips, resources, everything ! This is quite hard for me till now as we haven't got our internet connection fixed. Hope this will be history as soon as I get a call from the person in-charged. Alright, think that's all for now and I will do some updates on the trip to Gold Coast as soon as I have the time and internet connection. Take care everyone !

Gold Coast trip day 1

Arrived at the airport hours before departure and all I could do was wait, wait and WAIT. The flight took us about 7 hours to reach there. It was uncomfortable during the flight as the seat was in upright position for me to lean on. What to do, AirAsia cheap ma ^^
It is winter season in Australia but the weather was just too good to believe. Average temperature was around 18 degree celcius. (slightly cooler than Genting^^) As I didn't sleep well at all on the plane, the first trip was awfully tiring. Our coach driver brought us to Seaworld theme park and everything was about the ocean. It was interesting that we could watch dolphin show, sea lion show, polar bears, sharks and water acrobatic. Not to mention the roller coaster rides that is more thrilling than those in Malaysia ^^
Things in Australia are cheap IF you're working there. If you're spending RM in Aus with the exchange rate of 1 AUD= RM 3.1, a bottle of 600ml mineral water that costs 3AUD and a slice of carrot cake that costs 6AUD aren't cheap at all. Branded goods such as nike, esprit, adidas, CK etc. are seriously cheap. (more info on day4's post). I notice something that's different about their goods in Australia which is 2 products that are same can have different price tags due to their availability and year of production.
Australian are very friendly, helpful and courteous people where they would stop walking just for you to take pictures. Cars would also stop just for the pedestrians to cross the road while in Malaysia, you better run for your life before they hit you ! They really enjoy their lives and I think that's the motto of their lives. I could hardly see any stress on their face and they keep smiling even to strangers. Stay tuned for day 2 ^^

A groovy kind of love...

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
—I Corinthians 13:4-8a (NIV)
This verse describes the characteristics of true love.
These qualities can certainly be found in the person of Jesus Christ, and they can be found in all
truly loving relationships. The problem with trying to “find” love in our dating lives, is that too often
we don't look for these characteristics. Rather we look at physical appearance, popularity, or wealth.
These are not the qualities that God looks at and neither should we.
But the LORD said to Samuel, “…The LORD does not look at the things man looks at.
Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
—I Samuel 16:7b (NIV)
Love is best seen as devotion and action, not an emotion. Love is not exclusively based on how we feel.
Certainly our emotions are involved, but they cannot be our only criteria for love. True devotion will always lead to action—true love.
Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with ACTIONS and in truth.
I John 3:18 (NIV)
Christ was devoted to us enough to give his own life for us (Romans 5:8), even when he didn't feel like it (Matthew 26:39).

Sex is not love!
Our culture has taught us that sex and love are one in the same.
This is a lie.
Sex is a beautiful God-given activity that is wonderful when practised within the boundaries of a Biblical marriage.
Sex is the completion of the binding of two people within Biblical marriage; it is a God-given gift.

Thank you

Thank God for being so faithful and sustained all the strength and focus I needed for this semester's exams.

Thank God for all the friends He gives me who continuously support me in the areas of studies, health and relationship.

Thank God for all the circumstances that happened recently that I was drawn even closer to Him.

Thank God for my health that I'm still living and kicking and my body is only to be used to serve Him.

Thank God for everything that I have as everything comes from Him. He is the alpha and the omega. Amen.

I understand.

I understand I must love myself before I can love others.

I understand I must be open so I can open others unto themselves.

I understand I must be honest if I expect that of my friends.

I understand I must speak truth if I am to hear the truth spoken.

I understand that I must reach out to people if I am to be touched.

I understand I must share If I am to be given.

I understand my knowledge must be used if I am to grow.

I understand you must have freedom if I am to be free.

(Walter Rinder)
