High-strung!!!
The time never rest... so am I, unfortunately it wasn't came out what was expected. We expected that we could have a little bit more ease after the strings of activity about Jan Boom and after the Chinese New Year. I too expected that it would be a refreshing period of time to regain the mode of study and persuing all the way in the acedemic life but it did not turn out like that. All I do think is deadlines of every matters, I have overwhelmed by my business and fail to seek God. I am not quite sure about what is happening in my spiritual life? Have I not turn away from sin and getting out from temptations? But why my spirit is in such driness? Have not God always be with me? Why for now He seems like he is letting all challenges, for me to handle on my own completely? What more can I do, other than to seek God's help to face all these challenges?
Sometimes God did not turn you loose from your chains and lead you out from the jail by his angels, but He did use you abbundantly in your chains. I don't know why I am saying this, sounds like I had been chained... I am not Paul, and I am certainly not chained by prosecution, but I chained myself with all the burdens that hindered me from walking on God's directed path. I know God want me to learn, and all of this has already been filtered by God so that it is possible for me to overcome it. This morning I as what is worship? Isn't worship a heart of submission? Isn't it means a surrendered heart? My heart is troubled with all the obstacles in life and it might has to be the devil's work therefore even while I wanted to worship God druing my devotion, I can't feel God's present and not even have the mood while playing song for God. Therefore I have told my friends that I roboticalized.
Pray for me brothers and sisters, I needed your help for I can't stand alone with these great challenges, and especially you God, I needed you. I know my heart is troubled yet because of your coaching in my life I have grown tender in spirit and waited in patient though I am suffering in my very own sword. I know you never forsake me and always ready to help when I ask for it, I also understand sometimes you did not aid because you wanted me to learn something out of it. Then so be it God, may your will be done. My mind is still a little bit confused but I seek the wisdom from you God, please hear me.
"Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is." - Ephisians 5: 15-17

New Year Transition Period
Chinese new year is 1 hour later, I bet they are going to crack those fire crackers... I am going to sleep that time haha, tomorrow have a huge day to go. I am excited that I can once come back to my mother church to serve as morning worship's pianist! Tomorrow the first thing we do when we get up is to pay God a visit during chinese new year. Knowingly without God there is no earth, no earth have no country, no country have no home, no home there wouldn't be me^^
" For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. Now this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.”- 1 Corinthians 9:19-23"
"One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?"
"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'There is no commandment greater than these."- Mark 12:28-31 -

V-camp
Previously I thought that this camp without freshmens it would not be a good camp. I was dissapointed about the minimal responses the freshmen give. We targetted 25 of them coming but sadly all of them not coming in the firstday but only 5 turn up in the second day (not included those freshmen that had been joining us for long time). I feel exactly how Sze Chuan feels, fed up with the numbers but blind ourselves not to see the miracle God put in this camp. Every event sure there is something gain, there is always success if we din't seek out all tiny failures. I realise it when it came to air-ball game that I am in charge with, if there is over 50 people come, I may not manage it so well but they had commented that my game is very exciting and fun, so I am comforted that at least they enjoy the game.
When it comes to reflection time, I admitted my faulty thinking and feelings and confessed that I also had been proud and complacent about my works that I have driven God away from me. As I was acting in the talent time, I also feels that I am so bad and sorry about my true condition that I am in. So sad that I had blind myself and creating a stearic hindrance in me that repulse back all God's blessing, because I am saturated myself with all the things that are in the world, e.g. my job, responsibility and my personal growth. I had sometimes boast about myself and this make me a fool. I should not compare to other brothers and sisters to build up my self-esteem, it can be build purely in my heart as long as I know that I already had do my best with what God has designed in me.
But the camp is miraculously a great camp that I ever had. Normally I was only a normal camper, but this time I became both a member of a team and also a facilitator. What a different experience, and most of all I am not the worst that being pressured, because no one is pressuring me. Miller and Vri was the one who taken up most responsibility and pressures from the elders. I admired their capability of managing the whole camp smoothly, while my little games had some technical error that could be avoid but it is not because of my mis-management and inexperience.
Okay now, funny is that my parent called me up yesterday while I am still in Adeline resthouse, there had no reception so my mum worried thought that I was missing. But see I am ok to writing a blog here, prove that I am safe. =.=

Headache, mental-ache
Sorry today no picture...
Damn headache recently, I already get confused has my brain pained or my mind? Is it both pain in the same time? Why am I so frustrated? Am I over burden with all kinds of responsibility and get myself hay wired? What is the symptom that I am overloaded? When is my drawback line? Should I let everyone else to lead the assignment? Because now I feel it was like I am managing all the assignment that I had in hand. Please la, I know everyone is busy of something, but I juga nak masa lapang untuk rehat ma... macam tak de ruang je nak tidur pun macan tak cukup... tidur satu hari 7 jam tak cukup ke? Kenapa kepala saya masih sakit? Hari ini saya sudah pun sihat banyak deh, tapi kat malam kot orang bagi saya masalah saje... Kenapa selalu benda yang tak baik berlaku berterusan? Bilakah saya boleh rehat secukup-cukupnya? Dah lah, tak mau sebut tentang itu lagi la, eh kenapa cakap Melayu pulak =.=
When I sick ya please don't burden me, because I already had a burden on my own, headache is a symptom for me to draw back a little, I should give them in charge, and what is the reason I take these responsibilities up? Is it I can't wait? or feel that everyone else is slow to action? My mind is obssessed by assignments and other unecessary attention, first is the obsession of Pengajian Malaysia assignment and the second I headache about is the Developmental trends in Malaysia, all the policies thing provoke me to think on something I repressed in my subconscious long time ago. I started to raise question, why Malaysian citizens have to be so skepticism about all the bad things happened in the country, why all of us have to be so single sided and bais? Why all of us wanted to blind ourselves to all the destructive things in Malaysia rather than to spend the energy to think of how to make a better world tomorrow? You said the policies of Government doesn't work out, it is bais in this and that and racism everywhere, you said Bangsa Satu Malaysia doesn't exist, you said there is corruption, but have you think how to overcome all these issues? If you are the politician today what changes do you want to make? What is the thing that you want to build and dispute? Have you ever think of to encouraging the bumis by internal motivation rather than external motivation? E.g. higher pay, more priviledge and other benefits, these are all external motivation... but what is the motive of giving them such "keistimewaan" have you all forgotten? All people who study Pengajian Malaysia, studied in envy, intolerance, and subjective, the government is trying to make it clear to all the student about what is going on with their plannings, have you ever try to cooperate with it? If not then I hope there is a better reason on how to make it a better planning.
I somewhat often I have dream of politicians and country crisis, this is sure that in my unconscious I concern about what happen in the country, is just that I repressed it into my unconscious so I do not headache over these darkness among politicians and citizens. I don't know, but I am sure this time the assignment I am going to shoot everything out that has been troubling me since long ago, and try to solve it in a harmony manner. I try to study the purpose and truth within the government and its values and see what can I do about it. What I try doesn't promise a change in anything, but I just want to learn more and see what truth can I reveal to all people to understand more. If I am passionate enough, the riot since 13 May 1969, I can make one movie out of it to make the nation to realise the violence of misunderstanding and without love. Ah! Where is the context of love within a country? Do everyone knows what is the true meaning of love? You fools! I bet you all don't understand, I pray that one day you all will foolishly awaken by God and make this country a revived country.
I am no body to say anything right now, but when the time come, if it is meant to be my time, then I will shed my patriot's blood on this land. No love, you have no commitment. No love, you have no direction, you are blind. No love, you have no hope and trust. No love, you would not understand. No love, you would not endure for it. No love, you will not die for it. Mana cinta kepada negara anda? Has you all fools think that love is simply lust? Have you fools think that love can blind you? Is love for you is just applied in sex not for relationship? What is love to you then? Have you ever treat others as you treat yourself? Now I have transcent my knowledge of love in a more higher level, but have you? Love without action is no love! Our today's situation is just vulnerable as the time of kesultanan Melaka, where Sultan Mahmud take over Sultan Manshoor's place!
I met a couple of police today caught my friend for riding motocycle without helmet, and they did not corrupt but give saman straight to him, and this has started my fire that there is still obedient servants in this world. Obedient because they believe they put their hope as an example to the people around them, and obedient because they still love their country and do what is must to maintain the balance of justice and peace. I hope that God will one day revive Malaysia and make this country a better country for the future generation sake. Things has been hidden from us nearly 10 decades, shall we review it and see through it with love but not out of tolerance? Should we better love one another than to foolishly blind ourselves and live a non-authentic life? Should we play with invisible parang or should we better not to play any kind of parang at all?
I think too much for these few days, please forgive me if I have been to harsh in my usage of language, but this is the way how I express myself. I am sick, having cough and soar throat and headache, please do not let me suffer because of the folly mindset that we all have, I am tired, I am not a man that can withstand large responsibilities. Please forgive me.
In love and frustration

The Silent Fall

Unexpectedly Resourceful
Why I did not have the feeling to commit to God right now? Did not God has protected me from so many thing? Why I do not looks like I care about my relationship with God anymore? Why suddenly all turned upside down? Or do I too busy with my own will on doing all the assignments then neglected the spiritual living? For what I know this is spiritual dryness... but I confess I did not take action to feed my spirit recently, already counted today is day 5, how could I starve my spirit to death still slothing away not to feed him? Sorry I have to write it all out that comes into my mind so that I can see clearly here rather than putting everything in the cognitive level that everything is abstract. I really want to invite all brothers and sisters that visits here to pray for me, at first I thought is was something wrong with my time management and task management only, but now I see the deeper problem I am facing, that is my attitude start to turning back to it's auto-pilot direction, I have to change the program, change my thoughts and attitude, so that I may change my course to move closy with God. I needed this in order to grow more mature, or else eventually I dries up and wither...
But undeniable that God is so resourceful even that He has made me resourceful in my studies and also plenty of friends to help up each others. For even now I started to take charge to make a spark in the engine of my assignment groups so that everyone is get moving. I hope that all the draft work can be done before we come back from CNY. I was waiting someone to take the lead especially the appointed group leaders... I couldn't wait... I don't know what happen to me recently, I think it is good to be impatient of getting everyone work ealier, than being too kind for the sloth to take over. "Sloth" I mention here is not refer to anyone, but the attitude in us. I admit I have a sloth in me too, can't you see how it effects my spiritual life now? Well come back to my studies, I believe God give not only to me the resources to learn effectively, but to all my classmates too, thank God that we have some coaches in our accademic life than those "living textbooks" (I am talking about the lecturers) No, I did not expect them to spoon feed me, but fortunately that they didn't, because I wanted to take the challenge for real. God had give so many thing so I just wanted to thank Him now, though I am still feeling guilty of my sins.
