Sprinkles of Malaysia..

One of the reasons why u havent really much updates and also visits to blogs is because everytime i go to my blog, or to others blog, my internet disconnects..(quite potong stim reason rite?) but yea that is d reason i dont really visit much now..so yea..haha..dont mean to put down the internet in malaysia, mostly cuz i always got better internet back home than what i have here..so yea..

anyway when i go walking around the city, i sometimes forget that im in Adelaide..maybe cuz im mixing with all malaysian and singaporean ppl and we always go to chinatown..cuz when i look around i see a lot of asian ppl..n then the tempreature hits me, n in my mind i think "why is Malaysia so cold?" then i realize..haha..also when im at the OCF store room (which is actually Erwin's, Adrian's, and Aaron's apartment, friends of mine to those who dont noe them) we will play the Negaraku..haha..so yea..patriotic or not?

So yea, im not really affected much by homesickness, cuz i dont think i left home..thats wat i think i feel la, could be wrong..n just to make things clear, im talking about how i feel now..i did feel a little homesick when i first arrived, mostly cuz friends, family, comforts n DOGS!!! are not here anymore..but yea, everything else im cool..dont really miss the food, cuz i can have it here..just a bit pricy la..like a bowl of laksa noodles (which taste exactly like curry mee) costs AU$7.50 which is about the standard price of food here..

k, what made me start thinking about this was when a friend took us to a malaysian cuisine restaurant and there we were all talking about good malaysian food around malaysia, whats good where, and the others started feeling homesick, n i was like, "ok..cool.." maybe cuz im not really a huge fan of food..but yea, like late nite mamak sessions, dont really miss it also, cheap CCs, not soo much..

Ooo well..see u guys around, and again sorry i dont update that often..

Cheers..

Easter Camp..

just got back from Easter camp..n yea, i now get wat ben meant by how he felt not organizing a camp or being in charge of anything..u get to enjoy the entire camp..so yea..but that is not why i wanted to post about Easter camp..

This camp really was the first time where i am actually grateful about what happened at Calvary..i mean, when i go for funerals, i always cry for the person that has passed away, but i think about it, why dont i cry for Jesus? he died for our sins..WHICH we dont even deserve such an act of love..so i this camp, I finally am able to appriciate the act..of course i believe God doesnt want us to cry for Him, cuz Jesus rose on the 3rd day..but still, from that question, it led me to seeking a new reason of living..Thank you Jesus..

i noe that sounds pretty duh, but too all those who call themselves Christians, do u truly, and i mean TRULY, appriciate Jesus? u can go on thousands of mission trips, or sing all the praise songs in the world, but if u dont TRULY mean it, it is all useless..

i find it funny that i noe ppl tend to just put God and being a Christian in like a separate box in their mind, where they just live thier lives with their own philosophies, and dont live according to what the Bible says, and when they come to a problem or a dilemma, n u tell them, "what does the Bible say?" i can almost guarantee that these ppl will be like, " but the Bible cant help me with this problem" although they dont say it, u can tell they are thinking it..i wont lie, i use to be such a person..thats y i can almost guarantee this..

So yea, every Easter, I always like over look it, cuz it was "just" Easter to me.."the day Jesus died"..that would be the answer when ppl ask me what it is..it really felt like any other day..but now i truly get it why it is not an ordinary day..

If ur someone like me, who doesnt understand and appriciate Jesus, try to think of it this way, Jesus came down to earth to teach us all away to get into heaven..he came down, to help us ALL get into heaven, and wat do we do? We spat at him, mocked him, whipped him, ripped his clothes, strung him up to a cross, n not only strung him there, but nailed him there, and left him to die, for teaching us the correct way of getting to heaven..the Jews brought him to the Roman Governor at that time, and this Governor knew Jesus was innocent, but he didnt do anything to stop Jesus being crusified..

so yea, how do we be grateful? by following what he thought us..thats all he asked of us..yea its a big thing, but it makes u ask this question, is it worth it? is it worth following Jesus? The Man who died for no reason, other than to carry the burden of OUR sins, so that we are clean..
Thank You, Jesus, and this time, I truly mean it..

Cheers

This Made Me Jump Around Last Night..

MACHEDA!!! U LITTLE RIPPER!!

what do u see?

Life..sooo many things have been said on how life is, how u should appreciate it, how life is futile, how much it sucks..n im sure wat im about to say is something someone else has already said, so why bother saying it again? cuz i dont noe who said it, n i dont intend to go find who said what im about to say n quote the person..this is personal philosophy..


anyway, life is like a Rorschach ink blot test (the pic above) where it depends on what u focus on, that is what life is gonna be like for u..if u see negative stuff, then u will focus on negative stuff, n u will only notice negative stuff happening to u..best example i can think off..u noe how if ur having a good or bad day, n ur out for a drive..if it is a bad day, u find that u get stopped by all d traffic lights that u pass by..while when ur having a good day, the lights are almost always green..k, not sure about u guys, but it happens to me..n so one day i did an experiment, when i had a good day, i counted all d traffic lights n checked how many lights are green n how many force me to stop..did the same thing on a bad day..of course i had to take out some variables, like some lights queue u to stop the next light, no matter what the out come is, or they are queued so that u would get green at the next..so i found that there was no SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE..the world goes on without u having good or bad days..

so yea, what is d best outlook to have on life then? positive? negative? well, positive, u might become unrealistic, but negative makes u dark on the inside..like i said before, in like a super old post about being a realist..basically its a mix of both..well, that is my opinion, of course u cant help it sometimes where d world just is out to get u, n u just become soo negative..so yea, play by ear..always remember, "what would Jesus do?" (er, im kinda like forcing myself to post about this, so yea, doesnt feel like my usual ramblings)

Cheers..
