wow.. stunning video! love it!

Hey jude, dont make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey jude, dont be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.
And anytime you feel the pain, hey jude, refrain,
Dont carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.

Hey jude, dont let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey jude, begin,
Youre waiting for someone to perform with.
And dont you know that its just you, hey jude, you'll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Hey jude, dont make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then youll begin to make it
Better better better better better better,
oh.. Na na na na na ,na na na, hey jude...

jia you in your exam mugging yea!

1 Corinthians 3:8 -17

Unity is a product of corporate need. We draw together when we sense our need for one another. In a society that hails individualism, personal rights, and personal independence, how do we build unity? How do we join together in recognition of our need for one another when the world around us promotes a rugged individualism?

In chapter three, Paul addresses the issue more directly, focusing from accomplishment that gratifies self to that which serves God. Paul reminds the believers in Corinth that the true issues are not what one can accumulate in this society, but what one can accomplish for God. Further, he addresses the issue that it is not so much the quantity of service that matters as the quality or purity of our service.

If the Corinthians were proud of being freed from slavery, Paul was preoccupied with serving Christ faithfully. If they were proud of which Christian leader they followed, Paul was concerned with remembering that he was nothing more than a laborer in God’s service. Deep down, those things the Corinthians deemed so important were non-existent issues from God’s perspective. They were focusing on self, when God wanted them to look beyond to selfless service.

When Paul wanted the believers to unite, he did not expect them to agree on all issues. He did not ask them to give up their identity. He asked them to set aside selfish desires for importance, prominence, and benefit in order to engage in joint service to God. He asked them to remember that they belonged to Christ Jesus and were not free to serve self as Lord.

Unity requires submission. It demands that we submit personal desires and goals to some higher ideal. Unity requires that all our efforts aim at fulfilling God’s will instead of our own. It requires that we agree on one direction, working side by side to accomplish one goal. It requires that self be placed in submission to God, that we might accomplish His purpose rather than our own.

Are we up to the challenge of uniting to accomplish God’s will?

why am i always stucked in these kind of situations..

wrong time, right place..

or

right time, wrong place..

or

wrong time, wrong place..


just when i thought that things can't get any worse than that.

i got wrong time, wrong place n totally wrong people.

argh!

You're the Light in this darkness
You're the Hope to the hopeless
You're the Peace to the restless

For greater things have yet to come~
And greater things are still to be done in this City~

oh my gosh.. with a blink of eyes again, school reopens again.. during lecture just now, i wasn't feeling the least bit prepared for it. hah. was day dreaming through out the 3 hrs.

i need my focus back!

Anyways, just found out from my friends that in order to marry a girl. Guys need to give their to be wife 3 rings. The proposal ring, enagement ring and then finally the wedding knot ring. If the to be wife is kind enough, the proposal ring n enagement ring can be the same. haha.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our dark that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people don't feel insecure around you.We are all meant to shine as children do. Its not just in some of us; its in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsiously give other people to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. Sir I just wanna say thank you . . . You saved my life." - Timo Cruz played by actor in the movie Coach Carter.


Strangely how a movie quote like this can answer some of the burning questions in my heart..
For those who haven't seen the movie yet. Please watch it. It is very meaningful show.

Firstly, really*1000 want to thank God for my results. It is like another classic example how He showers his amazing grace abundantly on me again and again. The semester i just gone through is thought to be hardest in my course duration, and it is proven so by the fact that many people have received disappointing results, however yet, it is the best results i ever received. I got 1 high distinction and 3 distinctions. The 3 distinctions i got were really close shave, because all three are 70 marks on the dot, which is the beginning mark for a distinction grade. Being said, i now have 6 modules that are 70 on dot among the 12 modules i taken so far. That is like half of all the modules i took just nice hit the distinction grade. How lucky(gracious in christian context) can that be. Imagine if i had a mark lesser for each of these, my gpa would be much lower than the current one man.

Now, i am back on track again for my degree in distinction, and hopefully i can maintain it for one more semester, then i can officially be a degree in distinction student. heh. btw that is title given to student, who on average get at least a distinction for all the modules in the course. With that title, a student will be conferred a first class honours if he/she continues to do that extra one year for their honours. First class honours would be good, but i dont have that financial mean to accomplish it. So i guess i would be contented enough if i am blessed with a degree in distinction, as it is already somewhat a big achievement in my life.

Once again..
Thank God!
Amen!

Wow been donkey years since i blogged. Life is pretty much the same with its unpredictable ups and downs, but i have learned to handle it more effectively these days as compared to the past. Perhaps, i have really grown and become stronger.

Anyway in another ten hours time, i will be doing my first marathon of my lifetime, and i hope its not certainly gonna be the last one. Many more to come after that yea! i always been wondering how is it like to complete a full marathon. The process of training for it, running it and completing it. What exactly to expect from each of these different phases. i have read other people's marathon experience online, it all says the same; a great sense of achievement and lessons that can be used in other aspects of life. i think i already know what it means by that, but maybe what is lacking to that knowledge is the impact of going through the whole experience myself. Only then, i can live to tell tales of it to encourage and impact others, or motivate myself in this harsh reality marathon journey called life.


Dear Heavenly Father,

As running brings pleasure to our lives so may our efforts on this day bring pleasure to you, our Creator.

We give thanks for physical bodies wonderfully made. Help us to exercise good stewardship of the health, energy, and clarity of mind provided for our use. Bless our efforts in training to develop these gifts to their full potential.
