Hey people~! It’s another new week again~! New opportunities, new things to look forward to and plenty of new challenges to face~! Mondays are the best days to check yourself because it is your response to Mondays that reveals your true character. Whether you’re a lazy bum who loves to dwell in past glories or a really passionate person who looks forward to greater things in life, Mondays can tell~! So how you foresee your week to be is the greatest battle of all, why not foresee it with great expectation? We have nothing to lose but so much to gain~!
Sorry for not being able to make any entries the past 5 days. I have been busy preparing some stuff for my work, my car, ministry and also my sister’s departure to Perth. Last week was one of the busiest weeks I’ve ever encounter. Thank God for His grace that I was able to not only pull through, but also succeed in everything I placed my hands on. Although I fell sick for one day, I was healed within that day itself. God is so good~!
Sometimes I do wonder, why is it that we choose to love others? I’m not just talking about romantic love okay… Even friends and family relationships… To many ignorant people, love is just taken as something to gain. Little do they realize that love actually requires you to give up a lot of things...
To love someone is to open yourself up for that person to hurt you, the more you love, the deeper the wounds become. So why love in the first place is love brings so much pain? Why put ourselves through the agony of loving someone and risking ourselves getting hurt over and over again? I may not have the complete answer, but I believe this to be true, that all of us are made to love and be loved…
Despite how much pain love brings, love is one thing that none of us can escape. It is one thing that all of us need. We can't live normal lives without love, it is built within us that we can't live without. If love did not exist, we would never know the true meaning of sacrifice. If love did not exist, we would not know the true meaning of what it’s like to live not only for ourselves, but also for others.
Love is a powerful force that overcomes many boundaries, it’s a great motivating factor which pushes us to do things beyond ourselves. Have you ever loved someone so much that you would even give your life up for that person? I know I have… and still do… my family la, who you thought it was? Haha~!
The perfect example of true unconditional love is shown in the life of Jesus Himself. He was willing to give up His own life to die for people who hate Him. Have you ever thought of laying your life down for the person who cheated on you, the person who lied to you, the person who robbed you? Well, Jesus did… Love was His motivating factor, love was the force that brought Him all the way to the cross. Until His very last breath then, Love kept Him going… I’ve not seen greater love from any other person or organisation than the love shown through Jesus’ life.
I sometimes find it so hard to even love even the people close to me. I find it so hard to open up myself to being hurt and disappointed. This is real, and I know it applies to all of you as well. So how do I pick myself up again to continue to love people again after going through so much pain? Simple, I fix my eye on Jesus and look to Him as my living example. If He can love and forgive me after all the crappy and stupid things I did, I should learn to love and forgive others who have hurt me as well.
Love is a force no one can fathom, love goes to depths no one can comprehend. Why is love so great? Because God Himself is love, He is the founder of love. Despite whatever hurts and pain that we go through because of love, it is only love that can heal those wounds. What an irony right? Through great trying times, love is the only thing that keeps people united unconditionally..
If love ceased to exist, we would all be only living for ourselves. What would the world be like if no one loves? Food for thought…
Project Report~! I still have not received word from my mechanic yet about the gearbox bracket I ordered. The sports bracket for my car is quite hard to find because there’s so high in demand but so few suppliers. However, I managed to buy something really cool online. Check this picture out~!
This is a 5" TACHOMETER with SHIFT LIGHT AND RECALL~! I’ve always wanted to install one of these in my car. This RPM gauge is beyond your normal gauge. In a normal car, the maximum RPM the gauge and engine limits is 8000 RPM, but with this tachometer, my engine can be pushed to a maximum of 11000 RPM. The shift lamp at the top right of the meter head will light up at the RPM of my preference to indicated to me to change gears. This device will help me gauge the best RPM each gear can take to draw out maximum power from the engine. This is gonna be exciting~!
Do hear the sound of an Englishmen from afar? Hmm? Doesn’t sound English to me, sounds like a hybrid of every western accent that exists~! This person I’m talking about is no stranger to many. He’s well known for his wonderfully weird English accent and his love for martial arts. He’s one weird dude, but above all that he has a big heart for people. Ladies and gentlemen, babies and elephants, it is my honour to introduce you to my friend, Jonathan Foo a.k.a. Foo Foo a.k.a. Fake Australian a.k.a. The Guy with the Walking Stick???~!!!
I’ve known Jon since 2004 when I first started serving with AYA. He had the weirdest western accent that no one could tell where it came from. Englishmen pun tak sama, Auzzie pun tak sama, it’s like he using a new hybrid of English slang that the world has never heard. Haha~! This guy has not a clue of the Malay Language, he once asked what a SOTONG was~! Oh my gosh~! He’s really blur like sotong la.. Haha~!
We’ve always had a good laugh at the way speaks his English. He’s always really serious about everything he does and sometimes we have to remind him to chill a bit. He’s very passionate in the thing he does and when he starts something, he always works very hard to see it come to completion. I know he’s one dude that never leaves anything half done.
He’s always been faithful behind the video camera in all the events we did in church, concerts and rallies. He passion in photography has brought him to buy a super cunted camera which cost well over five thousand bucks~! I really admire his faithfulness and commitment because when I was still with Acts Church, he would be the person that’s always there for every single meeting to do the video recordings. The people from Acts would know how many meetings there are in just a week alone. Haha~!
Jon is one guy you can count on when you need something done. He would always give his best in all that he does and he doesn’t take any task given to him lightly. He’s great person to work with once you’ve learned to bear with his accent. God has really given him a heart of a servant, a heart that really looks after the welfare of others…
To Jon… There has been many times we’ve made you the butt of all our jokes. Yet, you still chose to laugh with us. You’ve learnt to accept yourself for who you are and you’ve always shown yourself desiring to learn from others. This is teachable spirit of yours is priceless and I believe that it’s gonna take you very far..
It’s been a joy serving alongside you, most of the time when I’m on stage, you’re faithful to do the LCD projections and the video controls behind the scenes. Most people may not have noticed your hard work and commitment, but without you being there, many things wouldn’t have went on so smoothly.
Do not ever despise what you do best, maybe many may not recognize your significance but God has a called you for this time and for this season to fulfill this role. I know that greater things are installed for you but you just have to be patient and let God prepare you for it. Don’t ever rush into anything just because it looks good from the outside, but acknowledge God in all your ways and He will make you path straight~!
Continue to be a blessing to the people around as you have been to me, especially when you're in Australia. I know that God has been faithful to bring you through many things. Don’t let your past experiences have a grip on you neither should you ever forget what you’ve gone through, but use it as a stepping stone and a learning curb to elevated you slowly to the great plans that God has for you.
Keep up the good work~! Keep the passion and keep the faith~! Go find out what SOTONG is because I’m gonna make that your next nickname… Haha~! Stay in the Lord and draw your strength from Him. Greater things are yet to come, so please don’t settle or be complacent with where you are now~!
That’s all I have for today people~! I shall try to make entries more often, but do forgive me if I can’t as my work is getting a bit busier as the weeks come. Thanks for reading~! Will update you all more about the engine installation progress. Have a great new week ahead and God Bless~!
