Sighs...

Feeling a little low. Don't know why. Its okla. Will work it out somehow.

Hard

Sometimes its so hard to maintain the faith...

I had been wondering why Man Utd is so quiet this season. I wonder if the 25-man squad limite has anything to do with it???

On another note, if Man Utd do want to sign a playmaker to replace Scholes, will Mezut Ozil fit the bill?

Let it be

Rants today will become insignificant tomorrow

Just the kind of story I like

Just finished watching Princess Arete, an anime about a princess who is determined to set her own path in life rather than be tied down by her current life. Its a rather slow and ploddy movie but has much more greater potential as a series. She wants to travel and live among her people, to see how they build their lives and future with their own two hands. Really interesting. Its something I'd like to direct if I have the ability and finances to direct an anime series.

By the way, its one of my childhood dreams you know... directing my own anime series.

Do as He does

I was asking God 2 nights ago that if people don't change, change my perspective and behaviour towards them by being a reflection of God's love. Immediately, I began to worry if people would take advantage of me if I learn to accept people as they are and not struggle against them.

Then a picture came into my mind that people also took advantage of Jesus when he did not fight back. The Romans, Pilate, the priests and the Jewish people taunted him and took advantage of his humility and non-reaction. Christ was so focused on the long term goal of saving all of us that he was willing to lose his pride and our natural instinct to fight back.

What a revelation and comfort that picture gave me. If Christ can endure that kind of humiliation, knowing that God will work things out for us, why can't I?

Worrying times

Its time to worry when players DON'T want to come to your club...

I want...

lots and lots of money! It won't buy happiness but it sure will get you lots of lots of other stuff! :)

Wants & Ability

Things that I want:
1. High-end Desktop PC.
2. Watches - an Orient dress watch and the New Casio Protrek multi-function watch.
3. Mobile phone - either a HTC or Nokia.
3. Victorinox knives and tools.
4. Leatherman knives and tools.
5. LED TV and Home Theatre System.
6. Bicycle.
7. Cheap and nice 2nd hand motorcycle.
8. Landrover Defender!

Things I can afford...
1. Err.... None of the above? :/

If only...

If only I have Warren Buffett as my benefactor and gives me half of his personal wealth... then I'd get about USD 23b (GBP 16b) and I'd buy up Man Utd and give them the break they need now. It'll prob cost me GBP 3-5b but I think I'd make it all back real soon. Don't you think?

Tithes

2 weeks ago, I dreamt that I won USD200m playing blackjack in a casino. Yeah... it was so devastating when I woke up realising that I don't have that cheque in my hand! :/

If I had that much money (almost RM700m) what would I do with it?

Imagine, if I had that windfall... RM70m is supposed to be tithed then! Hahaha...

New Year

A new year with new resolutions:

1. Stay healthy and fit.
2. Grow spiritually and live a life of a disciple of Christ.
3. Attitude to work to change for the better.

One Year

Wow, Its been about a year since I got married. It has not been a bed of roses but what a journey it has been so far. Yes, it may have been only one year yet I am grateful that Su Yin and I have come out of it in one piece.

Whenever I feel discouraged, I will remember this song:

Your grace is sufficient for me.
Your strength is made perfect when I am weak.
All that I cling to I lay at Your feet.
Your grace is sufficient for me.

As for the next year, I am looking forward to see where God wants to take the both of us, and I am glad Su Yin is by my side all the way.

And the Reds go marching on...

Manchester United wins with 10 men. Rooney and gang brilliant.

World Footballer of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo, a substitute at Real Madrid.

Heh. Funny how things are...

Awesome

Through good and bad times... You are still awesome.

I am most grateful to you, Lord.

For my friends...
For my finances...
For my every need you've met...
And last but not least, for my life...

Amen.

God of all things

Don't just trust God for big things, big issues.
I realise that He is also a very meticulous and detailed God (Come to think of it, He is a melancholic, phlegmatic, choleric and sanguine all rolled into one. After all we are made in His image right?) and often its in the small things that He affirms His presence and love for us.

I thought I'd lost 2 of my pen drives yesterday. Very likely that I dropped them yesterday cos one of my pouch's zip was open. Then I thought maybe I'd look at a place in the office that never thought to look. Lo and behold, there they are! :)

Another lesson I'm learning... listen to your heart. The Holy Spirit speaks to us through it. Sometimes, it'll remind us of something that we may have misplaced or forgotten to take, it'll remind us to slow down and be more careful. It'll remind us not to say certain things. It'll remind us also of the good we need to do. I am so glad I don't have to walk through life blindly.

So remember, God is God of big and small and also, listen to your heart ya...

You know something?

This is rather belated but I am actually quite excited about my coming wedding.

And I can't wait to start my life with the girl whom I fell in love, and is still in love, with 6 years ago (wow... 6 years... felt like it was only yesterday!)

I've been thinking alot about it. Its exciting and yet I am also kinda nervous b'cos its a big, big deal starting a new chapter in your life together with someone who's been entrusted to you.

This can only work IF we do it together... with God. Its not something we can shoulder on our own.

Still... I can't wait for the journey to start. :)

Depending on You

I realise that its futile to do things using my own way.

Your ways are higher that our ways...

What truth!

The thing is... am I too late to realise this?
