Needless to say, he provided and here i am in NUS.</div><div><br /></div><div>Singapore is a very tough place to be in. For someone with a laid back personality, who likes to smell the roses and enjoy the finer points of life, Singapore is a drastic change. The pace of life here really amazed me at first and still does continue to amaze me. in the midst of this business, God is still working in my life. i feel very blessed that He placed many Christian friends around me, to encourage and support me. It was through these friends that I find comfort the energy to go on.</div><div><br /></div><div>I feel very thankful that God has placed me where I am today. It is not by chance that I chose physics. It is not by chance that I chose FCBC. It is also not by chance that I chose PGP VCF. I have learnt that when God has a plan for you, it is bound to be a great one. Whether you stick to the long and narrow long enough to see the plan unfold is a different matter. Sticking to the long and narrow is tough, but it is one I intend to do! No more fooling around, no more detours, no more slacking. Enough is enough! One thing i know for sure. I WILL NOT BE ALONE!</div><div><br /></div><div>Those of us who do not live under coconut shells will know of what is happening in the world today. Revolutions in the middle east. The big earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Japan. Are these signs of the end times? We live in exciting times. Will this generation be the one who will witness the second coming? Some might argue that these things happen all the time. But I do feel that something is afoot. Major earthquakes have been happening more frequently. What used to be peaceful and stable nations are now being shaken to the very core by revolutions. Tensions amongst nations seem to be increasing. Being a scientist in training, i have learnt that random events tend to cluster. However the frequency of these clustered events make it seem unlikely that all of this is just a random event. I do not and will not know when He is coming till He comes. But i want to be ready.</div><div><br /></div><div>This post may seem sobering but that is just what some of us need. We need to WAKE up. We need to RISE up. There is no time like the present. It is a time for renewal, it is a time for revival.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/337853401371314720-5422626489673957699?l=arentang.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Arenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10790995645611571844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-337853401371314720.post-88290114715029438152009-11-16T23:51:00.000-08:002009-11-17T00:02:30.676-08:00EXAMS ARE OVER!!!! yes, my A2 exams are finally over.... after one and a half years at TARC, my tenure there is finally over.... ah, the joy and the relief.... oh well, i'm not quite ready to open the champagne yet, not till after my results that is....<div><br /></div><div>so i guess i'll be posting more often since my exams are over... however, i dont think i have the mood to write anything interesting or of worth in the next few days.... maybe after i come back from my cousin's wedding in australia.... haha....</div><div><br /></div><div>the good thing bout finishing your exams is obvious, no more studying, no more slugging it out till late, no more last minute madness.... although that is only temporary.... on the flipside, having no reason to go back to college makes meeting ones college frens rather difficult.... i have frens from all over malaysia... even those who stay "near" kl are spread out.... cheras, setapak, ampang, subang, shah alam...... to get all together is truly difficult.... i guess there is always a chance i'll bump into them again.... someday...</div><div><br /></div><div>i will be taking a short break and be lazy for one month i guess... in the new year, i think i'd most probably be working... come to think of it, if i DONT work, i'll be bored to death.... hopefully i'd get an interesting job, which isnt too boring.... lets just hope...</div><div><br /></div><div>now i guess its time to reconnect with some of my frens which i have partly ignored cuz of exams.... ah, if you are one of them, sorry.... its just that a levels takes alot outta you.... esp further math...</div><div><br /></div><div>that would be all for now.... till next time.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/337853401371314720-8829011471502943815?l=arentang.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Arenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10790995645611571844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-337853401371314720.post-66986236373388474172009-09-21T06:29:00.000-07:002009-09-21T06:32:30.138-07:00the title says all.... this is one of the few rare post here for the time being..... i'm pretty much too busy at the moment.... there is so much to do.... argh.... trials are over, which means the real thing is not too far away.... oct 19 to be exact.... ends early though.... nov 16... i WILL update consistently AFTER my exams.... but for now, i'm caught up in the world of exams..... i hope i come out of this alive(big exaggeration)....<div><br /></div><div>to anybody who cares, selamat hari raya....</div><div><br /></div><div>ciao. till after my exams......</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/337853401371314720-6698623637338847417?l=arentang.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Arenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10790995645611571844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-337853401371314720.post-50424245065785570252009-08-08T21:09:00.000-07:002009-08-08T21:15:47.607-07:00i've been gone quite long i guess so here is a post to indicate i'm still alive...<div><br /></div><div>i've been REALLY bz lately, and i fell sick... nope, its NOT H1N1 - a question which is bound to be asked....

It is a highly stable gas which does not react under normal conditions. This is due to the strong triple bond it forms with itself, requiring a large amount of energy to break. However, nitrogen can react under extreme conditions, forming compounds which are commonly made into explosives. Nitrogen is also very essential to the living organisms, and thus sustains life.</div><div><br /></div><div>Oxygen Gas(O2) - Rachel</div><div>The importance of oxygen is unquestionable. It is requried to sustain life. Oxygen itself does not combust, but supports combustion. It is abundant and is able to form compounds with other elements. The addition of oxygen to any compound is called oxidation. In this process, the oxidation number of another element tends to increase.</div><div><br /></div><div>Sodium(Na) - Emily</div><div>Sodium metal is highly reactive, it belongs to Group 1 of the periodic table. Sodium loses its electron easily to form an ion. This ionic state of sodium enables it to carry charge, thus allowing the compound to conduct electricity. This is only true if sodium is dissolved in water(refer to above). Sodium metal by itself is highly explosive even if its size is small.</div><div><br /></div><div>Potassium(K) - Elaine</div><div>The characteristics of potassium is almost the same as that of sodium. It is however a bigger atom and more electropositive. This means its tendency to lose an electron is higher. Potassium and sodium are in the same Group in the periodic table, so their characteristics are highly simillar. It is no wonder sodium and potassium are commonly mentioned together.</div><div><br /></div><div>end of part 1...</div><div>part 2 will contain the next few ppl on my list, namely the remaining memnbers of cy3, including myself(if i can think of any)....</div><div>till next time ciao.</div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/337853401371314720-4080974027911031939?l=arentang.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Arenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10790995645611571844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-337853401371314720.post-55114452918647208912009-06-19T07:39:00.000-07:002009-06-19T07:49:45.606-07:00so my 1st week back to college for classes.... its been rather tiresome, finishing late almost everyday.... but well, thats life.... you don't always get what you want....<div><br /></div><div>anyway, TarC now is fully loaded.... at MAXIMUM capacity.... when i say its FULL i mean its FULL.... never have i seen so many people in canteens, computer labs, or even our "yum-yum park" before.... man, there are so many people in the college i wish half of them would just dissapear.... haha.... oh well....</div><div><br /></div><div>1st thing we were greated with when we came for class is that we'll have another test in bout 3 weeks time (or less).... oh great.... even more tests.... worse still, i've realised that A2 is just 4 months away.... thats VERY soon.... i dont even remember most of my A2 stuff....</div><div><br /></div><div>argh, lets do away with the depressing stuff for a while and get on to happier things....</div><div><br /></div><div>i went for my math lecturers wedding on sunday.... haha....

WHY???? why aren't EXPERTS put in charge of the most important thing you can give the next generation.... i dont care if you put politicians in charge of finances, enviroment, roads or even defence.... but EDUCATION? what do they know about education.... politicians mainly want to pander to the public's opinion without actually thinking of the good of the country.... well, most of the time anyway....</div><div><br /></div><div>how do we solve this staggering problem of big mouthed politicians with their disregard of using their brains? simple, take education out of their hands and put in into hands of the EXPERTS.... set up an INDEPENDANT commision of education to monitor the system within the country... sadly, i dont think the day will come when this will be a reality.... in politics, when you get power, you NEVER want to give it up....</div><div><br /></div><div>selective education should also be a very good way of helping students.... what i mean by that is that students can choose WHAT they want to study and WHEN they want to study that particular subject... education should be fun... i remember enjoying kindergarten.... it was fun... there were games and fun activities.... why do people always have the foolish notion that the older you grow, the more serious you get? that is so wrong.... EVERYBODY loves to have fun.... if someone enjoys something, don't you think they will remember it? the same goes for education.... if students LOVE what they study, they will DEFINATELY be able to remember and recall what they are supposed to be learning.... they should be given freedom of choosing their own education instead of FORCING something on them.... of course some may argue that young kids dont know what is best for them.... well i agree.... what i said in the last paragraph applies to students of a higher level... lets say 15 yrs and above.... the current system of either having arts or science is not "free enough" a course.... it should be more flexible and more accomodating to students and teachers alike.... the process of learning should be like having fun at a playground, not locked up in a prison....</div><div><br /></div><div>i have lots more to say on the subject but most of what i want to say is best left unsaid.... haha.... i think some of you will get what i mean.... if you dont, too bad... i belive that education in this country can be greatly improved.... what we need is someone with the guts to do it...</div><div><br /></div><div>just some food for thought.....</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/337853401371314720-8626764358097595061?l=arentang.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Arenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10790995645611571844noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-337853401371314720.post-23734615719043030662009-02-06T01:12:00.000-08:002009-02-06T01:17:34.821-08:00exams will be coming up pretty soon... so studying is gonna be a habit i have to aquire.... hopefully...<div><br /></div><div>things have been a bit boring as of late... well, not BORING but just normal... life's cycle goes on... wake up, go to class, come back, sleep, dinner, study, sleep... and the cycle continues.... i forsee major stress lying ahead...</div><div><br /></div><div>hmm.... had dinner with my family yest celebrating my dad's "25th" birthday... well, thats what he says his age is anyway... haha...

WHY DO YOU THINK UR SO MUCH BETTER THAN OTHERS JUST BECAUSE UR FROM A "SUPERIOR RACE". why do ppl still consider a race to be superior compared to others? history perhaps? natural ability? or most probably an overly BIG racial pride. there is nothing wrong in being proud of who you are, or your history, or even ur ethnic cultures. the problem comes when ppl think they are better than others.<br /><br />and what about those who are overly sensitive? i just dont get this type of ppl, and i'm REALLY irritated by them. just because you were taken advantage of in the past DOES NOT mean you can turn almost any innocent statement or action into a racist act. some ppl just dont get what it means by not being a racist. to me, it means not thinking you are far greater than another, and not thinking that EVERYONE is picking on you. come on, some ppl have much better things to do than to pick on others of different race.<br /><br />i have great many frens of different ethnic backgrounds, all of us dont care what race we are, or what skin colour we have, or even what customs we have. we just define ourselves by our character and personality. when we hang out, we can even poke fun at each others ethnic background and still not consider it a racist statement. this is because we know deep inside that we are all equal. i hope the world can one day be as such.<br /><br />for this to happen, mindsets have to be RESET. the best way to start is to start young. children should be sent to multi-racial schools. education should be standardised so that none will have a higher than normal concentration of students of a particular race. i learnt that the best way to demolish the racial barrier is to MIX every type of race together. FORCE them to learn young, FORCE them to mix with people other than their own. this will ensure a better and more open generation.<br /><br />special privelages given to certain races should be stripped too. privellages and aid should be given on a merit basis, NOT on what ethnic group you belong to. having a quota system seriously damages racial ties. we need to have a completely fair system to ensure no special treatment is given to anyone of any race.<br /><br />simple as they may seem, these actions will most probably never be taken. few people have the courage to stand up for such issues nowadays. even when brought up, these issues are IMMEDIATELY deemed "sensitive" and are shelved. the thing i dont get is, WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE DO DEEM IMPORTANT SUBJECTS, SENSITIVE? it is another way of saying i'm just going to ignore your views. this really reflects on the maturity of a certain society.<br /><br />i sincerely hope that through the election of Obama, the world will open its eyes to the fundamental flaws it has in its society.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/337853401371314720-9031159721507008235?l=arentang.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Arenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10790995645611571844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-337853401371314720.post-21635888643080906092008-10-31T04:34:00.000-07:002008-10-31T04:37:06.839-07:00exams are comin up... 11th till 14th.... then it will be HOLIDAYS!!! haha... cant wait till hols.... cant wait to the cg gathering.... cant wait till christmas... juz cant wait for anything.... but there is still the hurdle of the tests coming up....<br /><br />wont be adding much here for now.... maybe after my exams....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/337853401371314720-2163588864308090609?l=arentang.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Arenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10790995645611571844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-337853401371314720.post-44128414775975042562008-10-11T07:18:00.000-07:002008-10-17T22:41:36.260-07:00room pictures.... haha.... its small but very cosy and comfortable.... haha.... this is my room at home.... pics are self explanatory.... u dont need explanation and i'm too lazy to give any... haha.... and joy, ur present makes my shelf look fantastic.... haha... really appreciate it....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqmb-feUt4w/SPC4o4pvsGI/AAAAAAAAACc/e1Bkl1Nhdek/s1600-h/IMG_2244.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

HAHA.... of all things to blog about...<br /><br />generally i have THREE music players in my pc right now....<br />1. Windows Media Player<br />2. Winamp<br />3. iTunes<br /><br />alright.... i admit... i couldnt find a PERFECT player to find my music and have been tinkering with these 3 famous programs.... here goes the review...<br /><br />1. Media Player.<br />not bad in a way... but i use it mainly for movies or videos.... i think it doesn't really cater to me.... the functions are pretty much basic... and that rather sums up what kinda player it is... a BASIC player.... it ranks last in my list for sure....<br /><br />2. Winamp.<br />Not bad... i've been using winamp for AGES.... but the problem with winamp is, it is rather troublesome.... it is not compatible with many things such as a remote for a laptop and such.... great shortcut keys though.... has some redeeming factors such as great plugins and stuff.... generally, its a good player...<br /><br />3. iTunes<br />the current player i'm using.... perfect for me.... has EVERYTHING i want in a music player.... remote compatible, easy searching, and now the GENIUS function... its juz a great player... apple really know what they are doing... haha.... i think i'll use this for now... till i get irritated...<br /><br />ciao.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/337853401371314720-2767424950414264991?l=arentang.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Arenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10790995645611571844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-337853401371314720.post-37224083553682618652008-09-25T02:43:00.000-07:002008-09-25T02:54:48.520-07:00somebody requested this, so here it goes... a peek into my life now... haha....<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqmb-feUt4w/SNtdoGUv87I/AAAAAAAAAA0/tlGb4s9Srx0/s1600-h/DSC00109.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

WRONG!!!<br /><br />what is popular is seldom right, and what is right is seldom popular... so how can a majority alone decide what is right or wrong, what is important or not.... a decision made on the sole basis of a majority shows that it is a POPULAR decision, but it in NO WAY justifies it as a right one...<br /><br />democracy in principal is ideal, but in practice, it is merely a way of saying "lets do what is popular, instead of what is right." i am a supporter of the concept of democracy, but what is needed is a mechanism to enforce what is right ALTHOUGH it does nor garner a majority...<br />i talk about a power so superior that it dwarfs any majority on earth... i'm talking bout God...<br /><br />I dont wanna be a democratic christian.... i dont wanna bend to the tyranny of a majority.... I want to bend to the will of a KING... the KING of ALL KINGS.... in other words, i support a monarchy-style christian life....<br /><br />this type of life is different from any other monarchies or dictatorships in the world.... this is because my King is incorruptible, He is NEVER wrong, and He always makes the best desicions...<br />i place my loyalty and complete control of my life to someone not of natural being, but of supernatural being....<br /><br />that is how it was supposed to be.... democratic christianity is what we MAN made up.... there is no such thing.... its either you accept a King that will control your life, or you dont.... simple as that.... sadly to say, a number of ppl dont find this concept intriguing...<br /><br />i sincerely hope for change.... i hope that ppl will open their eyes and see the flaws that this 'democracy' have to offer.... i hope that they will follow what is RIGHT rather than what is POPULAR....<br /><br />i would have written a longer post, but i'm super tired.... and a chat with an old friend inspired me to type this up.... so yea... food for thought...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

so malaysia got a medal.... silver.... not bad considering the badminton finals was seriously sad game.... nerves, home advantage? hmm.... the reasons why lee chong wei lost astounds me... but silver is better than nothing... whatever it is, u did malaysia proud.... next time perhaps?<br /><br />okay.... michael phelps.... madhouse.... 8 GOLDS.... and ALL record breaking swims(7 world, 1 olympic).... my goodness... he is just the king of the pool.... its kinda surreal to have a guy juz swim his way to 8 gold medals(with some help)..... anyway, i think part of his arsenal is psychology.... you say you wanna assault 8 golds, ppl get scared, you have already won.... good job dude....<br /><br />another phenomenon in the olympics, Mr. BOLT.... i think he got the right name.... 9.69 secs.... thats juz sick..... and he had time to turn around too.... plus, the 100 meters race IS NOT his preferred race.... haha.... imagine that... he doesnt like it THAT much, but breaks world records like its nothing.... oh man....<br /><br />olympics is gonna end soon.... dont make a difference to me anyway.... but, London 2012 awaits... so i'd prefer london.... haha(currently facinated by england, the physical country).... thats all...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

week of hols, then TEST 2 cometh.... haha.... so i guess my week of hols is gonna be packed with lots of revision and studyin.... thats all for now.... gonna sooooooooo enjoy this weekend.....<div

been pretty busy lately... what with college work, books to read, and stuff to do... so here is an update of my life so far....<br /><br />been reading books like mad, since i stay in the hostel during the weekends and have NOTHING to do, books have become my best frens.... well, i just love to read... haha.... currently waiting for the realease of brisingr on sept 20... if you dont know what book that is, forget it.... haha.....<br /><br />lessons have been getting tougher and tougher.... but with enough hard work, i think i can go through pretty well.... college life suits me well.... i never liked being forced to do things i dont wanna do, and college doesnt force you to do anything, although if u DONT do some stuff(attend lectures for example) your pretty much gonna suffer....<br /><br />my frens are cool ppl.... they are from ALL sorts of backgrounds and different walks of life.... generally, they are people who are happening, yet they REALLY care for their education.... wau.... i REALLY got alot to compete with.... haha....<br /><br />oh yea, i'm suddenly in a shopping craze.... in 2 weeks, i have bought one pair of shorts, a belt, a jersey, and i'm planning to buy a pair of jeans.... no idea what came over me.... just feel like buying LOADS of stuff.... haha.... currently anticipating my hols too... which is next next week....<br /><br />TEST 2 will be after the hols, and i really wanna do well.... or rather HAVE to do well.... but well, that ain't gonna hamper my spirit during the hols.... might go go-karting amongst other things.... but mostly looking forward to the trip to camerons on the 22nd(i think its 22nd).... gonna really have a blast there....<br /><br />too bad i cant go back for the drama this time.... i'd love to watch jia ee, ben and others act their way on stage.... will certainly bring back memories of my acting stint.... would be missing pui yee's musical talent too.... oh well, i dont look forward to going back to ipoh anymore, although i seriously do miss all the ppl there.... peeps in ipoh, when ur in kl, gimme a call.... haha...<br /><br />i'll have to go to church soon.... and i really look forward to it.... one thing that i like bout DUMC is that they really have great speakers.... i now look forward to the sermon more than i do the other parts of the service.... hmm.... i'd really like to go back to MYF and see what its like there though.... but well, life moves on....<br /><br />right, i'm running outta ideas on what to say... so, ciao.... till i get the inspiration to update again...<div

so i was away for quite some time.... lets see what i did last week.... hmm.... oh yea thats right, i had my test, went back to ipoh, drove back to kl, and then, I FELL SICK.... oh well, i had it coming... plenty of action, so little rest..... the body just needs to shut down and repair itself....<br /><br />i was bedridden(exaggerating a little) for most of last week.... at first i was feeling a fever coming on, nobody believed me.... then i went to the doctors, and it was confirmed that i had a high fever.... wau.... haha.... 2 days mc for me.... i thought, thats not too bad, only 2 days of school missed.... and then on tuesday, it got worse.... could not even swallow.... my throat hurt like mad..... haha.... so its back to the doctors.... turns out, the antibiotics did not work, making throat worse..... really bad infection the doctor put it.... haha..... so a jab, and some really stronger meds later, i was sent home - to recover.... oh well, another 2 days mc..... so yea.... the antibiotics DID work this time.... and i'm finally feeling good.... hmm.... not really looking forward to school cause i'm soooooo behind... really need to catch up.... haha.....<br /><br />but well, time waits for no man.... and yea my short term plans, buy some shorts and watch BATMAN.....<br /><br />juz for trivia, my fav villains from batman are joker(king of all villians), and the riddler(smartest criminal ever)....<br /><br />haha.... out....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

week is next week.... 7th to 11th... erm i guess it would be very important to see how much i actually understand a levels.... haha....<br /><br />i miss debating.... or rather, i miss arguing bout subjects..... haha.....<br /><br />gathering last week was okay..... not too bad, not too great.... met up with some of the old friends, but not all came.... still miss some ppl.... ah wellll..... guess we will have a chance to meet up sooner or later....<br /><br />hmm.... life so far, normal and fun..... just gotta hope this continues.... haha..... i'm off.... nothing better to say....<div

life has been good so far... got some friends with exactly the same interest as i have.... and that is COOOL... haha.... change is good.... i used to resent change, did not want to leave my comfort zone, did not want to go into the unknown.... but now, its a blessed release.... the life that i led seemed so far away.... this new life is what i have to accept now.... but that's good..... learning how to adapt, making new friends, being opened up to new methods of thinking, learning so much from people and situations.... friends will always be there... but what i miss is the closeness of fellowship among a cellgroup.... honestly, i miss the old CY3.... oh well, we all grow up, and will have to move on....<br /><br />this coming saturday, there will be a gathering of ipoh peeps in kl.... haha..... imagine what a time that would be.... crazy ipoh ppl in the big city? i shudder to think what we might do together.... i just regret the inability of xian and qivin and others to be with us.... truly, xian..... sometimes we dont see eye to eye.... but definately you are the best fren i could wish for.... haha.... better get back to malaysia quick so we can go hang out.... or i could go to melbourne?? haha....<br /><br />college is different, u rely on your own self discipline, rely on urself all the time.... you are who you make yourself to be.... secondary school seems so childish compared to this.... college students are not treated as "little children" but as a future generation of society.... future professionals and future leaders.... so all those who think that secondary school doesnt teach you anything, and that it does not challenge your thinking, you will love college....<br /><br />hmm... future plans? stay alive.... haha.... for the time being.... i look forward to going to the smi school play though.... i think i might be able to go.... depends on the suitability of my already hectic schedule(anyone gonna believe this?)....<br /><br />i dont have much to say, so i'd leave it as that... make of it whatever you want.... haha....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

those who know me already know, i went for National Service couple of months back.... in NS, i stupidly forgot to bring 2 VERY important things that matter so much to me.... one was a novel(i need to read) and the other was a bible.... OH THE ANGUISH.... i felt so empty, so thirsty, so hungry.... i'm not trying to portray that i'm this superrrr good guy who reads the bible every day.... I admit i don't - and not proud of it.... but being UNABLE to read it and NOT reading it is totally different.... I had a thirst - a thirst for The Word.... imagine a vampire.... imagine someone who ran a hundred miles and did not have a single drop of water..... and then consider my situation.... although in all 3 situations what was desired was different, the level of thirst are equal, so to speak....<br /><br />another reason for my feeling so down and empty during NS was because i had NO access to Christian friends... wait, dont misunderstand me... I have alot of friends in NS who are Christians.... but what i truly long was for fellowship within the Christian community.... i really wanted to worship God with my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.... I felt severed from the world....<br /><br />the fact is, the separation from God's word and God's people are truly unbearable..... Imagine being separated from God Himself.... I shudder at such a thought.... this is what is lacking in many Christians today - the thirst for God.... thats why passion after conferences, concerts, evangelical events don't tend to last for most people.... what i'm really bummed at is, people who talk and talk, but dont WALK THE TALK.... for those who know me well, integrity has always been top priority.... i dont like hypocrites... i dont like people who say something and do another.... i admit i sometimes fall into that category, i am after all HUMAN.... but everytime i realise that, i hate my actions....<br /><br />back to the main point.... the thirst for God must be in all Christians..... we must want more and more of Him.... however much we think God can give, we are always wrong.... he can give SOOOOOOOO MUCH MORE than you can even imagine.... a simple prayer a day can go a long way in your lifelong relationship.... praying has to come as a second nature to all of us.... we dont have to go into hour long prayers everyday.... thanking Him in the morning that he has blessed us with what we already have, asking Him to help you understand what you are about to learn, asking Him to grant you favour, asking for strength to go through whatever u are going through.... all these are but examples of why we can pray..... praying is not what people think it is..... to me, prayer is just the same as talking to someone.... just that in this scenario, we are talking to our Abba Father.....<br /><br />imagine this.... we are all cups or containers..... we are human, so we can only hold a certain amount.... when we ask for more and more from God, we tend to overflow.... try pouring more water into an already full cup.... obviously the result is clear.... that is what our lives should be like.... getting more and more from God, and overflowing into the lives of our family, friends and others.... that is how we can make an impact in their lives..... let them feel who and what God is.... let them taste the glory and wonder of God..... let them experience God's never ending love.... our cups should be overflowing with all of these which we gain from Him...<br /><br />the thirst that i seek for is the thirst for God.... with God, we are everything.... without Him, we are nothing....<br /><br />i would like to end with a challenge.... do you REALLY want to thirst for God? do you want to get so much from him that you will overflow? I do.... how bout you?<br /><br />food for thought....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/337853401371314720-2736034469324979218?l=arentang.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Arenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10790995645611571844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-337853401371314720.post-34527675934314580592008-06-05T08:13:00.000-07:002008-06-05T08:19:57.742-07:00haha... after 2 and a half years of loyal service, i'm finally selling off my pc.... i guess desktop pc's are mostly for gaming purposes... since i dont really play alot of games now, using a laptop REALLY REALLY saves alot of space.... minor adjustments include smaller keyboard, smaller screen and.... well thats bout it... haha.... i'm using my aunty's laptop now as i have NO cash to buy my own.... anyway, i dont really need my own laptop now..... when i'm off to uni then i'll get one i guess.... perhaps by that time, they'll get quad or maybe 8 core laptops?? haha.... DREAMS DO COME TRUE.... so in 2 years time, i SHALL get a super laptop.... haha.... thats it for now....<br /><br />THANKS OLD PC FOR UR SERVICE.... final words to you - SNLR(service no longer required)!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/337853401371314720-3452767593431458059?l=arentang.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Arenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10790995645611571844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-337853401371314720.post-36308737852884286132008-06-02T11:20:00.000-07:002008-06-02T11:23:16.131-07:00<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;"><u><span style="color: windowtext;">Friendship</span></u><span style="color: windowtext;
