The other side of the world

Image
Good day readers :) Yesterday was historical. I wish I could turn back time, but my mum and dad are already back in KL, probably busy with work. Many asked me "Don't you miss your parents?" "I would die without them" "How did you manage yourself?" "I can't believe you can stand it without them"....blablabla....all those kind of responses to my life story are not foreign to me now. At least, not when I have friends. Their 'being-there-for-me-all-the-time' was the medicine to my home sickness. Actually, more like 'family sickness'. Still, I am grateful for what God had laid before me.  I read this book recently and it got me thinking - about why I am here and why I am who I am today, about my past and future and most importantly, my present. Austin Gutwein had somehow 'showed up' in my life and feel me with inspiration and hope. I am starting to think that this book had landed in my hands by God's plan. Austin ha...

Dear readers, I think it's been a long time since I last share a video or two. Most of them was from youtube.com  (no doubt). But today, my senior, a good friend of mine shared with me a very good website indeed! I had no idea such web even existed before. Yap, this pretty much describes what I've been up to. I discovered countless amazing videos here. There ministry videos, music videos, inspirational videos and even comedy videos all specially for Christians! One of the thing I absolutely love is the 'homey' feel I get just by entering this website. I wanted to write more but there are more important things to do...(study for exam tomorrow). Anyway, I also want to share some amazing videos I found breathtaking.Their vocals are indeed a blessing from God! God bless readers! :D - this is the very first video I clicked 'play' when I visited this site. It brings me tremendous peace and joy.. - this is one of my favourite duet of all, actually my favourite song too...

The Power of Silence

Image
Silence teaches us how to listen, how to develop in us an openness to everyone. Listening guides me into the right position, opening the channel of receptivity. So, for receptivity I must clear myself of all negativity. I stand clean, bare, simple, stripped of artificiality then genuine communication begins. As I listen, I receive. As I receive, I feel and reflect and gradually move into concentration. Concentration is when I am completely absorbed in one thought, whether it is peace or love. Where there is love, concentration is natural and steady, like the still candle flame radiating it's aura of light.  When the human mind is absorbed in one thought, the person feels resurrected, and the harmony of reconciliation is deeply felt. In this silent link of love, one becomes fully reconciled, not as an intellectual process but as a state of being. I awaken. In silence, we desire to achieve personal perfection. Personal perfection is accepted as being possible. When I have to correct ...

Trees That Wood

Image
Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said, "Someday I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems. I could be decorated with intricate carving and everyone would see the beauty." Then the second tree said, "Someday I will be a mighty ship. I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull." Finally the third tree said, "I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest tree in the forest. People will see me on top of the hill and look up to my branches, and think of the heavens and God and how close to them I am reaching. I will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me." After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of woodsmen came upon the trees. When one came to the first tree he said, ...

Let's 'Teh Tarik'!! (Love)

Image
Greetings readers! Remember Let's 'Teh Tarik'!! (Life) ? I'm back to blog about the post I promised which is on 'Love'. This is actually my favorite section! So, here are my 2 selections for this blog post.. Time is capable of understanding Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge and all of other including Love. However, one day it was announced to the couples that the island would sink, so all prepared their boats and left. Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to stay until it started sinking. When Love was almost sinking, he decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a beautiful boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No I can't. There are a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place for here for you." Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by, "Vanity, please help me!" "I can't help y...

The Parable of One Ugly Cat

Image
Everyone in the block I lived in knew who ugly was. Ugly was the resident tomcat. Ugly loved 3 things in this world: fighting, eating garbage and shall we say, love. The combination of these things combined with a life spent outside had their effect on Ugly. To start with, he had 1 eye, and where the other should have been was a gaping hole. He has also a missing ear on the same side, his left foot has appeared to have been badly broken at one time, and had healed at one unnatural angle, making him look like he was always turning the corner. His tail was long since been lost, leaving only the smallest stub, which he would constantly jerk and twitch. Ugly would have been a dark grey tabby striped-type, except for the sores covering his head, neck, even his shoulders with thick, yellowing scabs. Every time someone saw Ugly there was the same reaction. "That's one UGLY cat!" All the children were warned not to touched him, the adults threw rocks at him, hosed him down, squir...

....is mainly dedicated to young Christians like myself, which makes me inspired with all the short stories and thoughts. It really does help me to reflect on my own life. So I'm here to share some of the contents of this awesome book. Let's just say the reason why I read this book is because all of my close friends keep bugging me around, telling how much they liked the stories..*bla bla bla* till I just can't wait to find out what the excitement is about. 'Let's 'teh-tarik!' is divided into 4 sections, namely : -Life -Love -Community -Looking Upward "Inspiring stories and thoughts to finish well in life.." Based on the 4 'finishing-well' attitudes as outlined in this book. Each section contains touching and inspiring stories, thought, human triumphs, useful tips to enlighten, inspire, intrigue, move, provoke and stimulate readers about issues in life and to keep us going. So now I'll select a few stories/thoughts on each section. F...
