He's everywhere

Jesus knows how you feel -

hurt, scared, alone -

and He's always with you

to wrap you in His comfort blanket of love.

I am with you and will watch over you where ever you go.

Genesis 28:15

[lifted from my calendar]

When I was reading that, my heart just felt all soft inside. I find that 100% true as whenever I feel down or currently for most of us, stressed, I find comfort in Him. I'll just turn to Him in prayer and basically talk to Him like a friend...invisible friend, in a way... and I'm not alone. After that, I just feel fine. Happy again. Stress-free. Not only I know that He is there to comfort me, but also He is there to ensure that all my effort will not go to waste/He won't allow my hurt to overpower me, etc...

What ever the problem may be, talk to Him...He won't bite ;-)

All the best in exams!

Chinese: Language of God?

hello my dear ex cell members..

it has been awhile that we've left this blog empty..

juz now, i found something interesting.. so would like to share with u ppl..

i believe some of u have seen this flash.. but no harm watching it again.. hehe..

enjoy!!

Chinese: Language of God?

Reminisce

Just a quick post.



Yesterday Cheah Yen sent out an mms commentating the checkers competition they had during cell yesterday. Reading it was really fun...as usual...it is afterall Cheah Yen we're talking about =P kekekekeke -- Cheah Yen, it's a compliment =D



Anyway, I just wanted to write that we've had a share of each other. Learning and growing in the Lord together last semester. I've certainly gained alot! It's good that we're spilt into different cell groups this semester to spread our knowledge, joy, talent and passion for God with other people...and of course, continue to learn from other people as well. We may not be spending as much time together as last semester but we WILL keep in touch, YES??? **fierce look** hehehe.








Look! Cottlesloe...our beloved (former) cell leader in action =P







didn't we all have fun....? ^^


Anyway, God bless...will c ya'll soon!

We are special

We are all special in God's eyes.

As what Dr Charles Kraft said, "we are created in God's image - a masterpiece of God". When we continually bow our heads instead of lifting it up high, continually saying that we are dumb, ugly, incapable, etc...that is the devil speaking to us. Toying with our minds, whispering into our ear those discouraging words and lies. With those words constantly playing in our minds, we are automatically disabled/paralysed from even trying to succeed! I feel helpless when a friend is in that condition. But when we think that we are masterpieces of God, a masterpiece is something great and beautiful...perfect. Sometimes i think that it's "mind over matter" which means, we are what we think we can be. This thought is so powerful that all the devil's whispers are filtered and heard no more.

And we are not a mistake! Each of us are planned intricately before God created anything. He planned each and everyone of us to happen/born into this world. Wow...every brush stroke on a painting (every cell in our body) is put in it's place on the canvas...a perfect painting. Just thinking about it, makes me feel so loved.

God loves us so much that we are the only creatures who He has redeemed, adopted and entrusted with the holy spirit. God knows that it is our nature to sin - human NATURE to sin - We can't help but to sin! Yet, He chose to redeem us, adopt us when sinners are supposed to be abandoned and entrust us with something - not just anything but the holy spirit.

Finally, God sent Jesus to live as a human, died and rose again as MAN. Jesus understands all the pain and joy that we have been through or are going through. Sometimes when you watch television or something, you see one character crying and some friend comes around trying to console him/her. Then that character crying would say to the friend, "you won't understand". Can you imagine that? Well, good news. Even though your friend can't understand you, God does. He doesn't just understand but He knows it even before you telling Him anything. Isn't that a relief?

God is in us - we can do greatness
God is with us - we are protected

CASTING CROWNS
"In Me"

If You ask me to leap

Out of my boat on the crashing waves

If You ask me to go

Preach to the lost world that Jesus saves

I'll go, but I cannot go alone

Cause I know I'm nothing on my own

But the power of Christ in me makes me strong

Makes me strong

**Cause when I'm weak, You make me strong

When I'm blind, You shine Your light on me

Cause I'll never get by living on my own ability

How refreshing to know You don't need me

How amazing to find that you want me

So I'll stand on Your truth, and I'll fight with Your strength

Until You bring the victory, by the power of Christ in me

If You ask me to run

And carry Your light into foreign land

If You ask me to fight

Deliver Your people from Satan's hand

To reach out with Your hands

To learn through Your eyes

To love with the love of a savior

To feel with Your heart

And to think with Your mind

I'd give my last breath for Your glory

God has given us everything. It's now our choice to see the wonderful things He has done in us and to live by it.

We are special and we can do great, great things with Him ^.^

Transperth - Smart Rider

here is juz some information about the Smart Rider..

as i know there was once, Jaclyn forgotten to tag off from the bus.. n she doesn't know what to do.. n she tried to ask the next bus whether she can tag on and tag off or not.. but the bus driver said cannot..

the correct answer is actually CAN!!!

as i read abit to know more bout Smart Rider.. there's this 15 min rule as i believe most of us know where we transfer from one place to another within 15mins... there's no charge..

whereas there's another called the 60 min rule.. which if u fail to tag off.. it will continue to charge til the next tag on..

'an exception to the default fare rule will aply if the next tag on occurs within 60 mins of the previous tag on.
In this case, the next tag on location will instead be processed as the incomplete tag off location.
This ensures that passengers are charged the relevant fare rather than the penalty fare, in the event of unintentional failure to tag off whilst transferring from one service to another.
This rule only applies when tag on occurred onboard a bus.'

so hope this info helps u all.. hehe.. but the most important is remember to TAG OFF!!!

A Song for Lawrence

i guess some of u might not know that every cell actually did something creative to appreciate our cell leaders yday night..

as what the title said.. a few of us wrote a song for our dear cell leader.. the lyrcis goes like this..

---------------------------------------

A Song for Lawrence
Composer: Jaclyn How, Jia Huei, Yan Hua & Kimberly
Song: random tune from "Whose Line is it anyway..."

In a town called Tawau in 1984
A lil' boy was born and now he's very tall
Then he came to Perth to Zion Praise Harvest
Since then he’s been leading cell for 2.5 years

Ipoh Garden, Happy Meal, Vic Park
These are the makan places we’ll go to lepak
Now let me tell you I hope you do believe
Seafood he doesn’t like but he will go for beef

I know something, which is very true
White isn’t his favourite, perhaps it is blue
Or maybe it’s yellow, or brown or black or green
But whatever other people say, I do hope it’s not pink

On Fridays when we come for cell, we all have lots of fun
Games and worship there’s so much to be done
When we’ve all shared about our week, he gladly says to us
“Ok, ok everybody, let’s jump into the Word!”

Now that everything is said, are you curious?
I think there’s not a need to say because it’s obvious
But just in case you still can’t guess who this guy could be
His name is spelt as L-A-W-R-E-N-C-E

---------------------------------------------------------

so what u all guys think? good? haha..

we also made a photo frame for him by Iris, Cheah Yen and i dunno who else.. haha..

i got a video of our performance.. will post it once i got it.. n also some other pics..

anyway.. we have alot of fun.. n i think Lawrence had the most fun..

but juz wanna take this opportunity to say a big

THANK YOU

... hehe..

This is cute...

When you are feeling STRESSED

and about to break down,

STRESSED

spelt backwards is

DESSERTS!!

So, exams are a piece of cake.

^^

I got this from a friend through an sms. The other bright side of this message is that you now know how to spell desserts. keke...b'cause I always get mixed up between desserts and deserts.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!

Exam Timetable!!

sorry for posting them late.. coz i don get everyone's timetable..

anyway.. i'll just post whatever i've got..

let us continue to uphold each other in prayer..

let's believe in P.U.S.H ==> Pray Until Something Happen!!

*if u r thinking how can i see with such a small pic? juz click on it.. n it will enlarge it for u.. hehe.. ^_^

Lego Spider Man!!!

i wonder does this happen in the original spider man movie.. haha..

I found a really cool site on creationism.

http://www.eternal-productions.org/101science.html

Haha, our Creator is awesome! =)

A powerful sermon on the Gospel of Grace.

There are a lot of misunderstandings on Moses' law of the Old Covenant and its relevance in our lives under Jesus' New Covenant.

This sermon is.. just incredibly good. You won't be bored. The pastor is darn funny. And the message is just.. soo soo important.

'We should be conscious of Christ, and not be conscious of sin." Ming Choon told me this after we were talking about Grace, and I just felt set free.. and I have this weight on my heart to share. By Grace we are saved!

The sermon quotes countless verses from the bible, and gives us an idea of how a man who really loves Jesus is like.

First part
Second part

From http://www.newcreation.org.sg/resources/audio/audiomessage.htm

Our righteousness is in Christ, and we are sanctified, and we are holy. (Like seriously! Jesus really transforms you, it is not a mystical thing, it is real. We simply have to believe in Him, and be conscious of Him and His love.) It might be hard to grasp -- it's like telling you about swimming if you've never swam before... need to swim to understand.

Bless you guys! Can listen to this when you're taking a break from studying or something haha..


--- Random relevant verses
Galatians 2:21 - If righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Romans 6:14 - For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.
Acts 3:22 - Jesus came to fulfill the law so that we may be under grace.
Acts 13:36-38 - Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses.

The law is perfected by Grace.

Think Smaller

Bored.........................................

I'M BORED...........................................................................
so, i think i'll just post something (and also update our...sort of...dying off blog..keke)

I'm actually in uni now. Using the computers in the library lounge. So sad, the MACINTOSH computers in the building 308 (exclusively for Biomed school students =P) is packed.
You know what happened in just this first half hour of coming to uni?????
well, it'll make me sound dumb but nevermind. I'm bored.

I sort of rushed to uni but not to the extend of gobbling down my breakfast and "mandi kerbau". Suppose to be having chemistry lab. I thought I made it just on time...chun chun at 9.00 a.m. BUT THEN.....................went to the doors of the lab and saw nobody inside. what a bummer....=S We were suppose to present our chemistry posters, our project for the semester (that's why this lab is so important, but all labs are just as important). Plus, my partner in the project messaged me at about 8.30 saying that she had problems...What the???!!!

Oh well, after finding out that I've got no lab, I went off to find a computer. And here I am!

**huge grin**

Apparently lab is only starting at 10.00 am. They didn't say anything about starting the lab at an unusual time!!!!! so evil!!!! they made all the students come and there's no lab till 10. hmm...I shouldn't say ALL students because I didn't see ALL students. Their lab supervisor probably TOLD them what time this week's lab would start...hmph.

Anyway, I'll be extra early for this lab then...and I've got free time =D
I didn't experience any loss and I'm happy...having an early day is good. keke...

Gorsh...I sound hyper...

Okies!!! will see you all soon...(although I saw most of you last sunday. LOL)

My Couz had accepted Christ!!

my couz had accepted CHRIST last night as her personal Saviour and Lord...

last night.. b4 we go to airport that few hours.. my bro took the opportunity to talk to her n tell her how God works in trenmendous ways in our family.. n asked her whether she would want to accept Jesus as her God or not..

i think that time she's not that ready yet.. but anyhow.. she had said the sinner's prayer with my bro.. n i know this is a step of faith to much more better things in future..

n my bro n I are now sending her back as a Christ ambassador for the Chia Family to reached out to the lost one..

i think is a good thing for her to go back as she will b working with one of my church member back home as her christian faith is quite strong.. i believe my couz can learn alot from her..

let us juz continue to uphold her in prayer as she's now starting her new journey of life with Christ..

PRAISE THE LORD!!!

Thank you!

Hey ppl!

It's been almost one month since my birthday and I really don't expect anything d. HAHA! Even Vely sort of complained that my birthday celebration is sooooo long!

But anyhow, I really feel touched. I never expected to make such good friends so fast. I thought that I'd take probably 1 year to actually make true, close friends. I'm really thankful for having such a blessed life.

Anyway, the whole point of me putting this post up is to thank all of my beloved cell members for the very special birthday present.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!

~Peace

Hey people, just thought of sharing something which I learnt a few years ago, which I’ve happily forgotten, but which God reminded me through Ps Teresa that day.
Remember when she was sharing about her struggle with God when she first came to Australia? How she suffered physically and financially, and she doubted God’s promises for her life? Then God silenced her by saying “I am not a liar” and she wept and it was on her knees when she felt the peace of God enveloping her. That was when I remembered a sermon I heard last time where the preacher gave us an illustration of peace. The story goes like this:

There was once an art competition and the theme was ‘peace’. So artists from all over participated and came up with lots of pictures illustrating peace, how they pictured peace to be. There were paintings of lush green grasses and mountains, even a hen protecting her little chicks under her feathers. But the winning piece was this picture, illustrating a violent storm at the sea, with a boat being tossed around. And within the boat, is a child sleeping peacefully as though nothing is happening.

I think this is the kind of peace that God provides for us. He did not promise us a bed of roses once we accept Him into our lives, but He does promise us peace and guidance when we’re in trouble. And we can continue resting in Him despite all the turmoil happening around us. I was really encouraged when reminded of this. Hope this will benefit you all too..

Pictures of the Wedding

For some of you all that don't know how it works, just some picture of the wedding.





And they live happily ever after.
Hehee..

Burning Your Bridges

Hey people,
While praying, this was the word that came to me. Burning your bridges and I just want to share this term to everyone so that you all can know. Burning Your bridges means that don't look back, don't walk back the ways in the pass, and start to look forward.
I believe that all of us had some pass that were "good" or some pass that everytime when something similar happens, we would tend to "wish we were back in that state". But I sensed that this is a season of maturity and of growing up, and we cannot let the things in the pass hold us from a even greater or better future for us.
Just want to encourage you all to think about "burning your bridges" and rely on God's strength and step up, and move forward to another level.
God bless.
Lawrence

Calendar quotes

I was reading my calendar and April 30th caught my attention.

"We know that whatever God sends into our lives has first passed through His filter; nothing comes into the life of a Christian that God doesn't know about. Believing that we can relax and know that God will be with us during the trials ahead."

Now for todays qoute from my calendar...

"Learn to look for joy everywhere you go. When your many troubles are giving you a giant headache remember that the iron crown of suffering precedes the golden crown of glory - that's what we'll wear on that glorious day when we'll be in heaven jumping for joy with our heavenly Father!"

Just thought that you all might be interested ;-)

Good night people. It was fun.

* Specially for those borned in the 80s *

got this from my friend's blog, thought of posting it here since it's sooooooooooooooooooooo SWEET!!!!! It totally speaks what i experienced during my childhood times and i miss them......aih, what are the childhood of children nowadays?

we grew up watching Transformers, Thundercats, Woody Woodpecker, Chipmunks, Mickey Mouse, Jem, Mask, Ninja Turtles, Voltron, Baja Hitam, Ultraman n not forgettin POWER RANGERS n BUGS BUNNY!!!and anderra yippa mice? :), McGyver ?

had to brush our teeths during recess at primary school? had to hold plastic cups, line up with your classmates side by side and start brushing our teeths at some open area... or maybe near some drain??

do you still remember that we had 'dentist' rooms where we had to have our teeths check?

not to forget our 'program minum susu' in primary school.. everybody is suppose to buy like cartons of milk that costed 30 cents.. and you would see everyone drinking it everyday...its d UHT milk...

the teachers who would want to punish us must use yellow rulers to hit us on our palms?? 1 metre length..

that a bowl of mihun soup or some soup only costed 50 cents at the school canteen...

went to some sundry shop near the school or to the 'roti' man waiting outside our schools so that we can buy junk food like chickedees, mamee, ding dang with some toys in it, 'Ti Kam', ice-cream and we would play games like monopoly, uno, old maid, and all other card games like that...

another fun time would be during Pendidikan Jasmani. the boys would play football while the girls would play netball... and it would be like we were playing in the world cup...

but of course. the best would be main guli, batu seremban, bottlecaps, ice-
cream sticks, 'Pepsi Cola one-two-three', Cops and Robbers, main kejar-kejar duduk,getah... and for the not so active, those kind of 'book games' where we would use buku latihan to draw and ask our friends to play...

do you remember the ice-cream tubes which are actually ice and colouring that are sold for 10 to 20 cents.. the colourful ones.. where you usually bite off the top to glup it down.orange
tastes b best..(pop-ice)

what about days when we felt like doing naughty things such as folding papers so small to make 'lastik' amd shoot each other... how about throwing chalks??

back then, micheal jackson was just turning white.. and still had albums coming out.. compared to CD's, we were listening to tapes that sold for RM9.90...

in computer class, we were still using black and white computer moniters.. played 'Atari'... maybe SEGA or NINTENDO..

well, are we all getting older or what?

1) if you understand what you have read and you are smiling...

2) we have friends from school that are already married...

3) we shake our heads everytime we see high school students fussing about their handphones in school..

4) we don't hang on phone with our friends for hours a day talking about nothing...

5) when we meet back with our friends from time to time, we feel excited and happy talking about old times, the funny 'adventures' or stories that we experienced as a kid..

6) last but not least, that when you read this, you would think of all the happy & sad memories that you have experienced when you were still a kid and would think of forwarding this to your old friends that you have known since forever... i'm sure they would have a huge smile on their face after reading this.....

Something for each and everyone of us...

We seek, but do not see,
We hear, but do not listen,
We learn, but do not comprehend,
We try and fail every single time,

And yet, we persist in trying,
No matter what the cost,
We try and try again,
Just to get closer to God,

For we are His children,
Who love our Parent,
And only wish to repay,
His undying Love for us,

So no matter what the costs,
No matter the difficulties,
One day we would come before Our Father,
And say "I Love You".

Thank you Lord.

" I dont know if this happens to any of you, but it does to me. Sometimes, i find it hard to find God within my heart. But i continue trying because I love God, and want to know God better. I really am just so amazed with God's Love for us which is totally incomprehensible to the human mind. His love for us would definitely be more vast than the universe. How could we compete that? But all i really want is to tell God that I love Him too."

Miracles

Hey people!

For the past couple of weeks in EduCell, it’s been about miracles.

Miracles = the act of God

The word “miracle” has been used widely in society. Some perceive it as a phenomenon/ happening that was thought to be impossible. But I was told that without God in the equation, it’s not a miracle. Meaning…if you don’t believe in God, there’s no such thing as a miracle. That was a little bit troubling to hear, for me (as you know I’m a non-believer). Everybody wants a miracle to happen at some point in their lives, including myself. And to be told that without believing in a God, you won’t have a miracle, it’s quite sad…but oh well

Come to think of it, I’ve never experienced a miracle or perhaps I just never realize it. I don’t even use the word “miracle”…well, probably just a hand full of times but no more!

One point that I would like to highlight from the discussions during EduCell is “What is the purpose of biblical miracles?”
1- Assurance that God is always there and always watching over us
2- Knowing that God is working in our life
3- Show God’s love for his people and power to create
4- “And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father”John 14:13. Meaning that any miracle that happens, it is to bring glory to God.

I guess the lesson that I’m trying to highlight is we should open our eyes to miracles and our faith will be strengthen even more.
Miracles doesn’t need to be big things like Jesus feeding the 5000, parting of the Red sea or the resurrection of Jesus but it can be small minute things like entering university with terrible results or getting back twice as much of money given out.
So, JUST SEE………

Something bout the Easter camp

Hey ppl!
There's actually so much to share about the camp but most of them are personal. keke...I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way, right? *grins*

Anyway, Easter camp has refreshed/rejuvenated everyone (not physically though. lol! totally drained all our energy especially after that DUCK WALK! Hehe...) I realised during cell group on Friday and service on Sunday that majority of the people were so hyper, happy. We all sang praise to the Lord with all our might and basically everything else we did was with more passion

The whole point of me pointing this out is that we shouldn't wait for an event like this to rekindle our spirits. This doesn't just apply for christians in terms of rekindling that first love for Christ but also for any human being...in our daily chores/duties/activities. We let our surroundings influence us too much and this brings me to the point of striving to be made out of Gopher material.

I suppose the lesson is that we should get up each morning and just find joy...enjoy and just want to be with Him cause I find that if you do everything for someone you love, do everything out of love, everything is bliss... =)

This is the challenge for all of us...

anyway, i wanted to post something on our beloved blog but hehe...kim was right...a lot of people forgot our blog's user details (of course this also means me...=D). in the end, i didn't post anything obviously...not until kim sent an e-mail about the blog details.

well, i'm running dry on crappy topics. I'll c u all during cell/church/uni!!!! =D

Sands of time

Hey there people.
Do you remember what we mentioned that life experiences are just like sands, where if you try to hold it in your hand, it would slip off, but if you let a hand mould it, it can become a nice castle.

On additional to that, how do you view stones in your life? It could be something that trips you and make you fall, it could be restrictions for you to move on. Whatever it is, it's something that all of us goes through in our life.

What if you add both of these elements together. Sand and rock, with the help of a catalyst, cement powder, you will obtain concrete. A must need for roads, houses, and buildings. If you let Jesus be the catalyst today, he can use all your life experiences, difficulties, you can build 20 storey buildings, 30 storey, and even a 50 storey building.

Friends, let's utilise our sand and rocks and mix it well with Jesus, and let's do something great with it.

1 Peter 1:6-7 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith - of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire - may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

The Story of Passionate Roses

Harlo .. This is a brief story of why we call ourselves passionate roses.
Think of a rose plant. A rose plant (if any of you tried to plant one), is very hard to plant. It is very prone to sickness, the sunlight must be zun zun one .. cannot too much, cannot too little.. Because of it's nature, you can't find roses in the middle of the desert. A gardener is required to take care of the rose plant.
Same for us. Jesus wants to be our gardener. If we choose to live in the desert without God, we will start to dry up, our leaves will start to fall, and we won't bear beautiful flowers. Therefore, want to encourage you all to be a rose plant and not be a cactus alright ..
Lawrence
