Entering year 2009

For new year's eve, didn't have any special family dinner. That's cause I'll be playing the piano for tonight's combine watch night service & Chris & Joey would be serving as well.
I remembered how I celebrated my eves in the past. In the 90s, I would go to the Club..partying with 'friends.' Or have BBQ/extravagant dinner at my home. Or hang out at friends house..eating & drinking a little. Kind to think of it. Quite a waste.
Now that I know Jesus personally, I find celebrating the eve in His House rather encouraging. Spending time with God & His people, especially in this time of economic turmoil, just uplift my spirit. All of us are called to not fear & change how we pray, i.e. in His authority. As I enter year 2009, I can rest assure that God is for me. & He'll see me through this time.
Oh ya..Got double anointing today. I mean, 2 pastors anointed me. The Indonesian pastor did an extra. He blessed me with God's joy in abundance & anointing to serve. Blessed my household & my coming path. Blessings...I receive them with thanksgiving & faith.
So, Happy New Year friends & family. If you have served with me in AYS/TCC/wherever...remember our Creator in the days of our youth.
God bless!

Book spree & CD Spree!!

Yesterday, went gift hunting at Doulos. Supposedly to be gift hunting, nangga2x, bought stuffs for myself. Hehehe..... So at Doulos, I bought 3 books. 1 book is a gift for my coming X'mas party. 2 books for myself. All for RM24. Stinking cheap right? If I buy these books at the local bookstore, it'll cost me somewhere around RM25-RM35 per book. Yeah....dirt cheap. When I thought I was done with my book spree, I came across one section of the ship where they have an offer. 4CDs + 1 doulos bag for RM20. Or 3 books + 1 Doulos bag for RM20. Wowsers! How can I resist!! Off I went & managed to grab 4 CDs. American made CDs are of good quality man. One of the Cds that I picked was a Christian rock group called Decypher Down. I stumbled across this band while I was copying songs to my MP3 player from my bro's PC. I like what I heard & I always wonder how is their full album like. Needless to say it rocks & when I read throught the lyrics of 'Breathe Again', I

Green Chords-State Level 2009

Image
This is the reason why I drove all the way to Sibu. To lend support to my brother's school marching band, the Green Chords. Before this, I was never a fan. Err wait..before this I've never heard of marching band at all. Of course this all changed after my sibs joined Green Road Sec. School's marching band. See the guy with the tuba. That's my younger bro, Calvin a.k.a Ju. When he first started, i.e. at the age of 13, he was selected to play the tuba. Mind you, he was the sole tuba player for 4 consecutive years. Imagine, he's controlling the bass side of the band...all by himself. Mind you, among all of us siblings, he was never musically trained. It was because of band that he begged my mum to enroll him for piano class..at the age of 14, which is quite late..just to master theory.He plays the tuba..and he has no musical theory background. Apparently, most of his band mates don't have any music background either. Imagine, they were taught to play the instrument

Give grace to Elizabeth Wong

Elizabeth Wong's nude pictures scandal has been a big hit recently. Some groups were sympathetic towards her, seeing it as a grievous unfortunate event. But some looked at her with scorn and demands her resignation...they remind me of the Pharisees in the Bible. Why should Elizabeth resign because of something which is not wrong legally? Her privacy was invaded. She is a victim of one sicko out there..whoever he is, I hope the authority would get him and bring him to justice! As for her morality, that is between her and God. For Christians, telling a white lie is equal to the sin of killing. Lusting for someone in the mind is equivalent to committing adultery. Sin is sin. So whoever has no sin whatsoever, let them be the 1st one to cast the stone at her. God in His infinite mercy, has poured out His abundant grace upon us. Likewise, lets be gracious towards Elizabeth. Malaysian Christians, let us pray for Elizabeth Wong. That God would redeem and restore her. God is able to use our
