Reminiscing the year 2008

In the afternoon, I decided to read my 2008 journal. Need to go down memory lane & check whether I've progressed/I've learnt my lesson/what I have to beware of. So roughly this is what I've gathered:






(1) Always evaluate a situation whereby one thinks that he/she has achieved breakthrough from God.






(2) Get ready to get out of my comfort zone.







(3) Don't be idle. I had 2 warning signal against idleness.





(4) Don't be bitter. Love our neighbours as we love ourselves. Difficult one here.




(5) Learnt that I need to hope in God always. No matter how difficult it may be.







(6) To remind myself to learn how to 'ride the waves.'







(7) Wrote 3 songs this year. Which I find is in-line with the spiritual atmosphere at the time.







(8) Met new friends this year who are a blessing to me.







(9) Got my guitar pick up. It was a miraculous provision. & the pick up was perfect!



(10) Went for the inner healing seminar. I felt lighter! Alas...excess baggage was dumped to the depths of the sea. Note to self: Don't accumulate it again. If it occurs, Repent, Renounce & Break! Yeah..



(11) God really stretched me in 2008. Looking back, I don't regret it. God makes all things beautiful in His perfect time.



(12) Remember Rev. 2:4-5 "Yet I hold this against you. You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent & do the things you did at first." So no matter how 'churchy' I am..no matter how many things I did in His service. Don't let ministry be my God. Hey...this one can really catch me off guard.



(13) Protect our family. Even our extended family. No family is perfect. We're all flawed in many many ways. Nevertheless, they do have their strength. Always look at that. I have to constantly remind myself, that my family members are on a journey to perfection!

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

Blogshy

Hi everyone in the blog community, Well, this is so awkward... Blogging seems to be the 'in-thing' these days. I've been thinking about joining the blogging trend(not that I'm a person who just want to delve into the 'in-thing')but I've been hindered due to thoughts like what am I going to write about & what if I get into trouble with the government(ya right..far fetched am I?). I guess I'm just blogshy, if there's such a word. If it weren't for Daron, my pastor, friend & brother(pastor, these words are mushy & you know how hardcore I am in expressing my feelings..haha!) I won't be doing this. He's the one who encouraged me to blog. & lo & behold, I'm doing this! So viewers, I hope my blog would be entertaining & inspiring. Hopefully, I can get some good out of this.
