His love is all i need...
His love is new every morning..
His love gives me the strength when i'm weak,
His love mends the hope that was shattered,
His love dries the tears that were shed,
His love fills the cup that i've spilled,
His love gave me all that i needed...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
silence within...
"kneel in prayer in His presence,
and you'll find no need to speak;
for softly in silent communion,
God grants you the peace that you seek..."

R.A.C
on monday, i took a trip down to murdoch together with my fren to pick up his housemate... (sometimes i really wonder why don't they stay in murdoch since one is studyin' at murdoch uni, while the other one is studyin' at freemantle tafe.. and the rent at murdoch is much cheaper..) anyway... we reached there but the housemate was still rushing to hand up a major assignment.. so me and my fren just strolled around murdoch uni(or 'lepak' to make it sound bad).. couldn't believe the amount of ppl from zion that i met in just that one hr..
well, the housemate passed up her assignment and we were ready to go... but then, the engine wouldn't start!!!! we were like 'oh noooo~~~'... and there we stand, under the hot scorching sun... looking at the engine, making guesses wat could have gone wrong (as if we really know.. ahahha).. then we head for second option.. we called the murdoch security.. they came within a few minute(wow, efficient!).. the guy stepped out from the car and the first thing he said was, 'it'll cost u $25 for a jump-start'... me and my fren looked at each other and gave each other the 'wat-the??!!' look.. then the security started laughing his head off and said 'gotcha didn't i??'... rite... the last thing we needed was a humourous-security... =.="
BUT THEN!! we realize that it was not the battery.. sianz, bigger problem... last resort --> R.A.C..
so while waiting for them to come, we sat in the car and started to play around with the car... and guess wat.. the car started!! this time it was the dun-look-at-me look.. so we called R.A.C again and cancelled the job...
then this sudden thought came to my mind.. somehow i realize, it's just the same as how most of us would treat God isn't it?? when something happens to our 'car' we'd go figuring how to solve the problem.. going through all those options.. then under desperation, God would somehow be our last resort.. and when things turned out rite.. we'd give a call and say that 'oh, i've solved the problem.. but thanks anyway God..'
pray that God would help me in this area, to put Him as the first resort.. and even when things seems to be going fine.. tat i'd still turn to Him just because i've gotta have Him..
-------------------------------------------------------------------
a cry to God...
this post is gonna be a more serious one compared to my previous ones... just want to ask if u're reading this... can u help me pray for my family plz...
was talking to my sister, joey this morning... found out that my mom called her and said tat my dad's sick again... when i say sick it's not just some normal flu/cold/headache/cough etc... it's not something like cancer/heart attack/stroke etc... dunno how to explain it also... but yea... as for joey, she hasn't found a job yet... janice my younger sis hasn't been doin' well in her studies for college, and she's really struggling a lot... for me, i'm struggling quite a fair bit with my studies also, as well as having problems with nose bleeds, just had another minor bleed only... sigh... my mom... miss my mom... my mom's the only one who's still standing strong... taking care of my dad... and it's been very hard for her...
i'm sure everything's under God's planning... but just want to pray that joey would get a job soon... and that janice would be able to do well in her exams and get into uni next year... pray that i'll be alrite with my studies and watever that's causing the nose bleeds would stop... but in any case, i'm more concerned bout my dad's health, as well as my mom's... pray that God would make it a time for my dad to rest, and keep him in safe hands... pray that my mom would be able to sustain throughout this period...
thank you all for praying with me and my family... really do appreciate it...

外套
一件外套的价值落在主人如何对待 ‘它’…
是否是因为寒冷的气候、心里的空虚而把它穿上??
当已得到所寻找的温暖后就把 ‘它’给脱掉,遗忘了…?
还是有时穿上了,却嫌弃不够温暖、不够体贴…
而把‘它’抛到角落… 心里挂着无数的埋怨??
买了后却发现其实没那么喜欢,就想换个新的…
往往都是那样吧…?
你的外套,是你的… 不是别人的…
别把‘它’ 随便乱抛,等待别人来帮你把‘它’ 挂好…
好吗??
一个外套的价值不在于市场上的售价…
而是主人如何对待‘它’…

this is for You God...
[mood: awake!!] [weather: doesn't seem as bright as it should be]

(of course providing that u didn't sleep too late at night).. they say that the early bird gets the worm.. bird eat worms.. human eat breakfast.. *seaches through the fridge, counter top ----> empty*.... looks like this early bird gets to go hungry =.="... time to get some bread...
today's gonna be the start of a messy living room, messy table, shaddy look for me.. we're talking bout serious stuffz here okiez.. will be going into "full-concentration-in-revision mode"... ho ho ho ho ho... *audiences applause...* so lets get retarded, ha! let's get retarded in here~~ hmm.. wrong song... so lets get it started,ha! let's get it started in here~~ *alrite..*
My God
-united live-
Your faithful love
has always been there for me
the greatest love
that I have ever known
what can I give to you
for all Youve given to me
You gave it all
and You are all I need
Pre-Chorus:
You are my king,
You are my God
the praises I bring
come from my heart
Chorus:
This is for You
for all Youve done for me
and I wanted to show You
how much You mean
my God,
my God...

tired...
wow, super busy day at work.. dishes that piles up non-stop.. *whew* but the reward was superb.. dinner was provided as usual, each of us took home a box of fried noodles.. then there were half a dozen of oysters which they couldn't keep.. so they gave it to me and my fren, and we had 3 each.. =9 this is really God's blessing for me to get this job, a job tat suites my uni timetable as well as my ministry work..
facts about terrazza's kitchen:
- u'd clock in using computers (talk about technologies)
- all the guys inside (including the main chefs) are asians... at least for my shift...
- the head of chef is from penang??!!
- my fren's the one making all the salads... hohoho...
- the chefs likes to sing..!! quite entertaining actually.. all the silly songs..
- we'd get to choose our own dinner.. =D (of course not watever u want la)
- humourous jokes are always in the air..
one thing to realize is that, kitchens are all the same.. wat super classy big restaurant.. it's still the same.. all the hot pans.. slippery floors.. chefs tat reuses the ingredients.. yea.. reuse of ingredients.. today one of the chefs (andrew) left a pan with a couple of prawns and scallops inside on the benchtop.. and he said, "dun u wash that.. " when another order came in, he rinsed watever tat was in the pan under the tap.. and *vuala..* another dish.. kekeke.. well, all the kitchens are the same.. but terrazza ain't that bad.. tat was the only first case after working for 3 weeks.. so think again when u eat outside.. kekeke =D
-------------------------------------------------------------------
dripping tap...
*drip* oh.. there goes a drop.. *drip* oh.. there's goes the second one.. *drip* hey.. another one.. *drip**drip**drip* hey.. it's not stopping.. *drip**drip*.....*drip*
ever got irritated with taps tat's not closed properly.. and when u're tryin' to concentrate with ur 50 pages report while it just goes *drip**drip*...*drip*?? isn't it super-irritating?? well shucks... just had another one of those major nose bleeds... and it was like the tap, dripping like mad.. standing under the sink waiting for the bleeding to stop.. didn't bother to get freaked out seeing the whole sink stained with blood(not the first time anyway).. i stood there for at least 5 mins.. and it was still flowing.. (who was the wise guy tat adviced me to let the blood flow?) then i had this MAD thought... "hey, maybe i should get a cup and see till where can i fill it up".... if u're reading this, say "siao ah!!"
well, few days ago.. nikki said tat i was having pms.. =.=" (should i be supernikkified by this??) but come to think about it, i'm like having some of the syndroms...
mood swings: yea.. mood's been changing frequently for the past few days..
bleeding: yeppers.. different place though.. ahha..
anti-social: hmm.. yea.. a bit..
tired: of course.. try losing all the blood (no wonder girls get aggitated so easily during their period)
and one fact tat's always true, except for once.. is tat when i nose bleed.. i'm always by myself.. when i'm at home, gary's always in the room or maybe out at the gym(he's fit kiez..).. david's either snoozing inside the room or busy with his social life(with his school work also.. he's home more often nowadays).. when i'm at the shopping centre(once), the rest were in the toilet.. (lucky i was standing outside the gents toilet)..
how can it be? doesn't make sense.. "all by myself.. dun wanna be.. all by myself.."
anyway, if u're reading this.. wat's the actual thing tat i should do when i nose bleed? do i stand there and let it drip like the faulty tap... or do i lie down and taste all the blood?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
would you believe me if I said...
[current mood: refreshed and productive] [weather: looks like a great day to me]
couldn't believe tat i woke up at 5.30am this morning! first thing tat came to my mind was.. "oh no!! i fell asleep with the lights on... AGAIN.." could u ever sleep with the lights on?? *wondering*... just a few days ago my busy-meeting-up-with-the-gf's-mother housemate david told me: "hey jon, u're quite a heavy sleeper hey.. i was boiling water, using the microwave, showering(coz the hot water system in our unit is very noisy).. having a great time making all the noise.. but u were still zzzzz.."
if all the babies in the world were to be heavy sleepers... i guess all the parents would have a good night sleep... but the fact is... babies are not (probability of 0.05 tat exceptions may occur)... so all you parents out there, or parents gonna-be or even parents wanna-be... bear with us... =P

my passion...
i want to regain my passion...
i want it back...
YES!! MY PASSION!!!
and i see it there...
and i'm gonna get it back...

宝宝の苦恼...
[心情: 蛮佳] [天气: 好好哦]
是否有人曾经对你说: “唉,若生活有如宝宝的一样多么好… 无忧无虑的… 睡醒,哭一会就有牛奶喝… 偶尔吸着手指或奶嘴… 累了就 “呼呼” 地睡…”
但你是否曾想过宝宝的苦恼呢??
什么?? 不会吧!! 宝宝也有苦恼??!!
Ar-bo-then?? 无法想像?? 事实上,成人不曾考虑我们宝宝们的苦恼…
苦恼#1~
每天就被困在摇篮里,滚来滚去… 闷透啦!! 偶尔才把我们从“笼子” 里放出来,让我们在地上爬… 难道这是成人们所追求的生活??
苦恼#2~
尿片穿了好不舒服啊!! 什么“Pampers Comfort” 之类的… 尿了,还是湿湿的… 你想会舒服吗??
苦恼#3~
你以为装可爱、逗人笑那么容易吗??
苦恼#4~
一天到晚都被人围绕着,想好好睡一觉也难… 偶尔还可能会在睡梦中被吵醒… 叫我们如何不哭呢??
苦恼#5~
最难受的 - 肉体的折磨~~ “哇,宝宝好可爱呢!” 这里被捏,那里捏… 时不时抱了方在肩膀上… 宝宝就没惟高症吗??
宝宝不好当哦!!!

leadership...
having quite a lot of thoughts going through my mind at the moment... sitting in the computer lab frowning at my report... sigh... not to mention the noisy ppl on the other end, happily chatting while i'm diggin' my brains out figuring out how to write my report... *irritated!!!*... been gettin' irritated very easily for the past few weeks... level of telerance gettin' real low... wat happened to my patience?? some said i'm having PMS... *wat the??!!*
anywayz, apart from gettin' irritated and frowning at the computer screen... was busy searching for my passion... my passion for christ... the burning fire that used burn so bright... being a leader, sigh... wat have i accomplished? someone once said to me tat, being a cell leader is not just about getting all the tasks done... it's not just about caring for ur members, giving encouragements to them... wat makes a great leader, is the ability to train up leaders who are able to raise up new leaders for the coming days... and i look at myself, how much effort have i given... *deep in thoughts...*
"open up my heart, and You will find... this fire burns so deep, it burns so bright for You.. Lord i will burn... Lord i will burn, for You~~" do hope this would be my passion for God...
