NEWS FLASH #1 - Engine Shortage Confirmed~!

Hey sponsors, this is the first New Flash entry I'm making. I forgot to explain what News Flash for this project means. Haha~! Okay, News Flash entries are sudden Praise Reports for something really good that has happened, or it can be sudden Emergency Reports which requires your support in prayer because of some inevitable hiccups in the project.

This News Flash is an Emergency Report~! There's a major shortage of the engine I'm trying to look for, I was pushed into the decision of buying the more expensive one that was offered to me last week. But guess what? Even that engine was sold out~! This shows how highly demanded the engine I'm looking for is~!

So now my foreman has advised me to take the first good conditioned engine that comes my way, despite the hefty price-tag. I agreed to that after much consideration because I really have no choice. If I wait any longer, there may be no stock for the next 4 months. Because of this major setback, I would have to pay an additional RM2300 just to get my engine and gearbox installed to the car~! So all in all, for just the engine, gearbox and installation alone, I would have to spend a total of RM6900. This price-tag is quite a big expense flux, so I've to cut back on a lot of basic engine stuff that I initially wanted to do with the car...

Sponsors please take note~! Some of your contributions will be used to restore the basic necessities of the car such as air conditioning, brakes reconditioning and electronic indicators. Since it is you people who put your hands into building the car, I need to ask all of you for your consent and blessing to use some of the contributions for the engine installation phase, just the installation alone would cost me RM1500, so I hope you all are alright with it if some of the contributions are used to help me out a bit in this area. Thanks~!

Do keep this project in prayer, I'm still waiting for news about the engine. Pray that my foreman will be able to find a very good condition engine, and pray also that God will perform a miracle for this project so that I won't end up in debt. To me, even paying installment is considered being in debt~! So I don't want to have to resort to paying installments, I want to settle everything in cash terms because it would make this project a debt-free project and a greater testimony can be birth~!

"Thank You God for Your favour... Thank You God for Your Grace... Thank You God for Your Providence... I uphold this Project into Your Hands.... In Jesus name I pray, Amen~!"


Thank you sponsors for your support, if in any way you feel uncomfortable about the contributions delegated for the engine installation in this project, please let me know as soon as possible. I shall NOT use the portion that you've contributed for this phase in respects to your decision. Thank you sponsors~! Have a great Friday and the weekend ahead~! God Bless...

Project Report #10 - The Curse of the Where's-My-Engine

Hey there people~! It’s another beautiful Thursday morning, the sun’s cover by a thick layer of clouds but it will not devalue my day~! I’ve just agreed to take up another car project for a friend, who is also a sponsor of this car project. This is gonna be exciting because as I’ve gone through different experiences building my dream car, I can now give some guidelines to people who want to do up their project car too.

This project has been through a lot that has pushed me to my limits. I shall NOT sugarcoat this project by saying that it’s easy to handle, there were many times I was considering to give it up due to different major obstacles that came along way. But I know that before every great thing lies great trials as well, so I will NOT give up until this project is completed~! You sponsors have been a great motivation and encouragement to me, without you guys n gals, I would have given up this project a long time ago…

About the updates on the project, I still have yet to find an affordable engine. So by next Monday if I still can’t find one then I shall resort to buying from the initial supplier who is selling it at a higher price. No worries people, I believe God will provide either way. I will not fix my eyes on the problem, although I will still work very hard to resolve it, but I will put my trust in God to make a way for me no matter what. You will all see this car on the road someday, this is my promise~! Thank you sponsors for being so encouraging and supportive of me~!

LUCK, is it fact or fiction? Many people put their hopes and dreams in a fictional force known as luck. The true meaning of luck is something that cannot be predicted, that thatcannot be calculated, cannot be quantified, but it just happens by chance. People gamble all their money away putting their faith in luck, something that does not make sense and totally defies the laws of cause and effect.

Here’s a food for thought, if luck does exist, can my 1 + 1 equation equals to anything else other than 2? Even if I do the same equation over and over and over again, can it by ‘LUCK’ change to any other answer than 2? No right? Something about lucky dice and cards, if you remember from our high school math, it all just depends on probability. It CAN be quantified, I CAN determine how many wins you will have over a period. Maybe you can argue that you’ve won in gambling before and what sort, but that is basically all within the equation as well. In the long run you will lose, if casinos are meant for everyone to win, they wouldn’t be standing and expanding like mad today.

Genting Enterprise just signed a contract to build one of the biggest casinos in Singapore. Do you think they're losing money? So stop gambling in hopes that you’ll hit the jackpot. Out of thousands of people who gambled and won, they are just part of the equation involving the bigger group that has lost. So in conclusion, if you place your hopes on luck, which is actually just probability, you're putting your hopes on an equation that only the minority will gain something from it. “The HOUSE always wins…”

Why am I talking about this? Well, it’s because I want you to know that you actually have an opportunity to build your life on something that will last through all of time, an assurance that even when you die, you still have the hope to live again in heaven. I want you all to realize that you all have this chance to build something that NOT only the minority can gain so much from it. We all have this chance to build our lives on someone that gave His own life so that we may be delivered from the eternal condemnation of hell, this person is Jesus Christ.

I have experienced His blessings so many times that it would take days for me to tell you all He has done for me. Does this mean that I’ve never experienced any hardships or failures? Of course NOT~! I’ve been through my fair share of pain… physically, mentally and emotionally. Life has brought me to face many different kinds of difficulties in almost every area of my life. The thing about knowing Jesus is NOT about getting all your problems solved immediately, but to know that there’s always hope. Knowing Jesus is about knowing PEACE despite anything that happens.

My situations didn't become better immediately after I came to know Jesus, but my heart and attitude changed because I knew and I was assured that God is in control over everything. Slowly but surely, as my heart was at peace, my character began to change for the better. I started looking at things differently, I started looking at difficulties with hope. A man once said, “The heart of the problem is the problem of the heart…”

With my character built, my attitude improved and my heart at peace, then only my situation began to change because I worked at it knowing that it is not only because of my strength that will deliver me, but it is me working alongside God which will bring me out of my difficult situations. Many of us face different situations, sometimes we can’t find anyway out, we are place in a position where we can’t look left nor right but to only look up. Those are the times when we realize that we ain’t that powerful and infinite after all, we all still need God in us.

Search deep inside yourself and you will realize that each of us has a desire to know who God is. It is desire that God Himself put in us to draw us closer to Him. We can either choose to respond to Him or to deny Him, it’s our choice because He will never force you to choose Him. Come ask me personally and I will tell you the many different areas of my life that God has came through for me. My ministries, my church, my family, my friends, my educational achievements, my current job, my future prospects and etc… God had something to do with all of that I’ve mentioned…

Hope this will inspire you to put your hopes, your dreams, your trust, your life and your everything in Him alone because He knows what’s best for you and will never give you any less…

Nature is degrading, the world is in need of a heroine~! Who shall save the trees?! I know~! This person is as skinny as stick, as blur as sotong but has a really big heart for people. She’s not only an exceptional keyboardist, but she’s is one great musician. Why do I say she’s great? It’s not because of her skills, but because she has great attitude and character to sustain greatness. Ladies and gentlemen, trees of all ages, may I present to you my good friend and sister in Christ, Jane Loke a.k.a. Ja-Nea a.k.a. Lok Yok Jing a.k.a. Lok Cha Nea a.k.a. Tree Hugger~!

I’ve known her a little over 2 years, and only within the past year or so got to know her closer. The first time I noticed her, she was this shy innocent girl who joined the Campus City worship team when I was still one of the leaders in that ministry. She didn’t talk much, had to encourage her to talk more during those times actually, kinda regret doing that because now she just can’t keep quiet~! Haha~! Kidding, kidding…

I remember her dressing last time was so off~! She dressed like one of those nerdy reserved girls. Over the years of mixing around with the group, she started to be more feminine, in a good way of course. She learnt to carry herself more, although a lot had to be worked on in her area of confidence. We graduated from AYA leadership course together, we got to watch each other preach during our Preaching Test. It was very funny to see her preach because she would stutter at every sentence she spoke, I guess she was nervous at that time. It’s a totally different story now of course, she takes on the role of a worship leader now. When she encourages the team, you can see passion she has for the works of God...

She has always been very supportive of whatever I got involved in. She would be such an encouragement whenever I hit a dead end. Like when I was doing my final year project, I had to stay up every night for 3 weeks to finish up the final phase, she would one of the few who would check up on me and give me little words of encouragement and support that really helped me get through the night. I don’t know what she was doing, so crazy staying online till the wee hours of the night... Haha~!

She went through an oral surgery a few days back due to complications with her wisdom tooth, I believe it must be super painful in her recovery now. Do continue to keep her in prayer as she goes for a few more phases of surgery to totally get her teeth corrected in order. Pray that there will be no mishaps with the surgeon and that she will recover with no pain at all… It can happen~! Heard of many testimonies of painless extractions from many people I know. So we must believe with her people~!

To Jane… The many times you’ve shared your heart out to me and me sharing my difficulties with you means a lot to me because that was how we became closer. I know you’ve always looked to me as a leader, or a big brother, but believe it or not, I look at your life as an inspiration too. You have never placed yourself above anyone although you were appointed to be their leader, you were down-to-earth and every-willing to serve anyone who was in need. I’ve seen how much you’ve grown in your walk and maturity in God. From a super shy, innocent girl to a worship leader in a campus ministry, God is really preparing you for something beyond what our minds can comprehend...

Continue to pursue the plans and purposes that God has placed in you heart and never give up on your calling no matter what. He who has begun the good work in you will be faithful to complete it in you… All you have to do is just trust and obey. You’re a very strong girl inside, so don’t ever be intimidated by anyone just because you're skinny and gentle at heart. Stand firm on the principals of the Word and live under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and you will overcome many mountains of life.

Thank you so much for being my friend, thank you so much for allowing me to speak into your life, thank you so much for being such an encouragement, thank you so much for being such an inspiration.. I’m so grateful that you were so keen on becoming a sponsor of this project, but I’m even more grateful to you for being a sponsor of my life because you have contributed to shaping who I am today. Keep that passion going, never let it die because of any situations but fuel it with the Word and the Spirit.

May the Lord bless you and keep you, and make His face to shine upon you, may He grant you success and give you peace all the days of your life…

This is all I have for today people~! I will call my foreman again end of today to find out what other items I can order first while I’m waiting for the confirmation of my engine. Pray with my for favour and open door to get the items at the best price. Thank sponsors~! Have a great Thursday and God Bless…

Project Report #9 - Where Art Thou My Beloved Engine??

Good morning people~! It's a beautiful Tuesday morning, the sun's up and there's so much to look forward to today. I’m actually making entries at work, multi-tasking~! For those girls who keep insisting that guys can’t muli-task, let truth be told that most of the guys I know can multi-task better than you girls… And all the guys say, ‘AMEN~!’… Haha~! Okay, I shall not turn this into a war of genders. You girls are a fantastic bunch of people, can’t and wouldn’t dare to imagine the world without you special people.

Life’s good isn’t it? Well, it does has its fair share of joy and pains, the ups and downs, the successes and failures, but at the end of the day, I’m still standing, I still have a roof over my head, family that love and support me, friends like everyone of you sponsors who care, a great church with great people, a wonderful job and so on… I am so grateful to God for providing me with all these things, it really has brought me up to where I am today. But I there was a point in my life where I wondered to myself, what if God were to take away all these things away from me? Would I still love Him as much as I say I do?

My thoughts went even deeper to question myself, is it only God’s hand and God’s face that my heart is after? To further explain what before I go on, God’s hand speaks about His blessings and God’s face speaks about His favour. Let me continue… Somehow rather, I notice that all my prayers at that time were only directed to what I want for myself. It’s not wrong to ask for things, in fact the Bible says that we should ask of Him anything our hearts desire. But is my love for Him measured by what He can give to me? Am I just keeping God close to me because He is able to give me everything I want?

This is the perfect analogy to what I’m trying to say here, there was this father who loves his daughter a lot and always tries make her happy by giving her candy. Every time the father comes to her daughter, he would bring a candy bar along and ask the daughter ”Do you love me?” and the daughter would reply “Yes, I do love you daddy?”.

Then one day, the father came to the daughter, but this time he hid the candy behind his back and asked the same question to the daughter again “Do you love me?”. She looked at the father and the first thing she said was “Where’s my candy?”. The father repeated the question again, in hopes that the daughter would say “Yes, I do”, but she still demanded “Where is my candy?!!”. One last time, the father repeated the question again with dying hopes, but the daughter just threw a tantrum and screamed “Daddy you don’t love me! You didn’t bring me my candy!”…

With a broken heart, the father gave the daughter the candy which he was hiding behind his back. The child was jumping for joy because she got what she wanted, but the father was crushed inside because he now knows that the daughter only loved him because of the candy…

So friends, this is another heart-checking question for all of us, do we love God only because of what He can do and what He can give to us? Are we really in love with God for who He is or do we only love Him for what He can do? If you were the father in the story I just told you, how would you feel? Sometimes, we may be very happy to get what we want but God is so sad because we only want Him around to meet our desires. I know God’s heart has been broken many times by me, yet He is so gracious to forgive me.

Now you know why I treasure everything I have? I know a lot of you think that I’m crazy being so detailed in taking care of everything I own. But I do I am like this because I know that God is the one who gave it to me out of His generous heart although I didn’t deserve it. Don’t you treasure things given to you by someone you really love?

What to learn from all this? Firstly, we must learn to love God for who He is, and not just what He can do for us. Secondly, we must be thankful for all that we already have instead of being disappointed with what we don’t have. Thirdly, we must set our hearts to run after God’s heart, not just His hands and His face… What does it mean to run after God’s heart? Simple, to just love, trust and obey Him in everything area of our lives. We have nothing to lose but so much to gain. He will never give us any less than the best~! So I hope caught something from this people~!

Engine, Oh Engine, di mana engkau pergi? Updates on the engine search progress, it is still very difficult to find a good affordable engine. Looked at a few cheaper ones, but the condition was pretty bad, got sand and other particles stuck in the combustion chamber. Will continue to pray that a door will be opened for me to get the best deal, do pray along with me people~! Oh yes, please also keep Jane in prayer as she’s doing her oral surgery today to get her wisdom tooth extracted. Pray that the surgery will go smoothly with no mishaps. It’s gonna be a painful recovery, pray also that she won’t be in too much pain. Thanks Sponsors~!

Black cat alert people~! Hey sponsors, did you know there is a black cat amongst you? Some may know who I’m talking about. This dude is a whacky, crazy and ultimately blur but he has one heck of a big heart. I’ve known this guy for many years now and the stupid things he does never fails to shock me, yet when I needed help, he would always avail himself the best that he can. Ladies and gentlemen, boys only… little girls please stay away for awhile, I’ll explain why later… Let me introduce you to a good friend of mine, Reuben Low a.k.a. Black Cat a.k.a. Rubino a.k.a. Pedophile~! He’s NOT really a pedophile, we just call him that because he’s dating a girl that was still in high school… So that’s why we keep our younger sisters away from him.. Haha~! Just kidding~!

You know, this guy really small in size but has a mouth that never shuts up. He can talk until the cows come home, he can talk the cows to death also. But one thing’s for sure is that he has been such a blessing to my life through his support and works these past few years. Though he may look very DUH but he’s always running around helping people fix stuff and etc…

I remember our group use to call his the ‘teacher’s pet’ because the Penolong Kanan H.E.M. of our school always calls him for help, to the extent of even asking him to go to her house. We always made fun of him saying that he’s having an ‘illegitimate thing’ going on with that teacher. Heck, she even announced for his help over the school P.A system~! Haha~! I’m telling you, high school life would never be so fun without him around.

We started hanging out together when we were in our late Form 2 year because of our interest in computers and computer games. I remember introducing him and a few others to the game of Counter Strike after our annual I.U. Day function. That was the beginning of our craze for cyber cafés games. We use to spend a lot of hours in the cyber café and we had a lot of fun. I think the amount of money we spent on cyber café could amount to thousands of Ringgit over a period of 5 years. We even went gaming the day before our PMR exams. Haha~! But we did well anyway la… It was just too easy for us at that time.

When we were in pre-university, a group of us called ourselves the Jackass Team of Malaysia which was founded by this celup Malay-Chinese dude, who is also a good friend. We would do the dumbest things just for laughs, but we would NEVER put anyone in danger la. I remember we executed an ‘Operasi Curi Batu’ as revenge for another friend against his inconsiderate neighbour. We didn’t steal anything valuable of course, we just took away all the big stones that dumb neighbour used to block others from parking his ‘claimed’ space, and decorated a tree in the nearby field with it. I’ll never forget that well planned, successful operation. Until today, the stones are still there, the last I checked… Haha~!

Above all the dumb things we did, all the lame jokes he shared, he helped me with everything he had when I was doing my final project for my degree. He was the guy that stuck by me the closest throughout the whole project. He went all the way to KL town just to help me source out and collect some of the equipment I needed for my project. The amazing part is he did it without asking for anything back. Every time I needed help with my project, he would be there for me… he was the only one who went the extra mile to see my project come to completion. I am indeed very grateful to him because I would have never been able to complete my project without his help and support.

To Reuben… it is a great honour for me to have known you. Though we may have started our friendship with crazy lame jokes and senseless activities, but at the times when I really needed help, you always tried your best to avail yourself. I don’t know why you did so much for me because I don’t remember doing anything in that magnitude for you, that is why I’m so grateful.

If you didn’t help me out with me final honors project, I would have lost my merit honors. Don’t you dare say that you didn’t do much. Among all the people that came alongside me to help me out with the project, you were the one that did the most with no conditions attached. Even for this car project, you were the one that was most excited to be a sponsor although you didn’t even have enough for yourself…

Continue pursuing the things that God has place in your heart. Find yourself in God, seek Him for a direction in your life. I know you have a heart that longs to serve, but sometimes I can see that you’re lost and you don’t know where you can serve. Just start with the small things and I believe that as time goes by, God will bring you to even greater things, more than your mind can comprehend. Be faithful with the little, and He will add on to you so much more…

Thank you for being a friend, thank you for being so sacrificial. I speak for many people when I say that you’re one cool dude who’s always there when we need you… From fixing computers, to running errands and much more… you hardly ever declined an opportunity to help another friend… Stay in the Lord, greater things are ahead of you if you choose to remain in Him…

That’s all I have today people~! I still have yet to get news about my engine, will contact my foreman again later today to discuss over certain matters. Log on these coming days to find out what’s in stored for this project~! Have a great Tuesday and God Bless~!

Project Report #8 - The Engine Strikes Back

Hey sponsors~! It’s a rainy Sunday night here in Subang Jaya, been raining almost every night the past few days. I’m praying that there won’t be massive flooding in my area. It’s been a long but fruitful Sunday today. We had more new people coming to church and they were really blessed. Ps Ryan spoke an amazing message about God’s Calling Upon Our Lives. I’m really seeing God adding to the church almost every week, this is really not because of our works. God is really moving mightily~!

Did you all know that I graduate with a Second Class Upper Honors for my Computer Science degree? I don’t think many of you all know it yet, especially the ones from overseas. I just realized that I haven’t had a chance to share with every one of you about how I got through my degree. I can assure you it wasn’t easy, but I managed to pull through because I believe the BIG GUY up there was watching over me.

It all started when I was required to select my field of project of choice. I had to do my own research on the different field options I wanted to pursue for my project and write a project proposal for each field I chose. Out of 5 proposals, 4 were rejected by my project supervisors. This only left me with one option and so happen this very ONE proposal that got approved involved the most difficult field among all that I’ve chosen to do. This project involve the development of a full fledge, operational, marketable Multipurpose Hotel Smart Card system. So with all my pride, knowledge and experience, I just took up the challenge and started the project.

The first few phases of the project development were easy, I could knock down all the initial obstacles with barely any effort. This added on to the pride filled confidence. Then it came a point in time where I was required to source out for all the hardware and software for the system construction. Again, with my heart full of confidence, I made calls to my contacts and searched around in the usual places to get all the items I required to build this system. One week past, nothing was found. Two weeks past, nothing was found. Three weeks past, still nothing happened. By now I was starting to be a bit shaken, but was still confident.

After four weeks of waiting, I still have not made any progress in the development of my project. This shook me to the very core because if I fail to hand up this project in complete functioning order, I will lose my merit honors for my degree.

My own knowledge has failed me, all my contacts were unable to help me. I pushed and pulled, wrestled and fought through, but at the end I still made no progress at all in my project. Seven weeks have passed since I started my fruitless search, I've already used up about 16 weeks to finish up the initial stages of my project. All in all, I had only about 28 weeks to finish up a complete system by myself, and the due date was only within 5 weeks but I couldn’t progress at all without the equipments.

It was so bad to the point that my lecturers and supervisors were getting worried for me. They even advised me to abandon this project and make an appeal to re-sit for the entire module the next semester, which means I will graduate a year later. This was the wake up call for me…

I went home, fell on my knees and starting crying out to God for forgiveness. I realized that every thing I had, all my strengths and abilities have failed me. I was left with only one option, and this last resort option was suppose to be my first resort, which was to turn to God. I knew in my heart that I have been proud, leaning only on my own abilities, but I was too self-absorbed to realize that pride was the beginning of my downfall…

Thank God for His grace and mercy, He heard me when I cried and comforted me with a true story from the Bible about King David. What I learned from the stories of King David is that he would pray until there’s no more reason to pray. An example is the account of the death of his first son. It was because of the great sin he had committed that cause his son to be stuck with a terrible illness. King David fasted and prayed to God for a long time for his son to be spared from death to the point where his servants were so worried for him because he had not eaten a bite in days. At the end, no matter how he much he prayed, the child still died. When the news about the death of his son came to David, he got up from his knees, washed up and ate, and worshiped God.

When his servants questioned why he was so down when child was alive but got up and ate only when the child was dead, he answered that while the child was alive, he pursued aggressively in prayer because there was still hope that God might allow the child to live, by since the child is already dead, there’s no point in dwelling in this problem anymore, life still goes on. King David’s attitude was amazing because he prayed until there was no more reason to pray. Though God may not have granted his first prayer, but God rewarded King David for his obedience by blessing him with another son, which will in future be the great King Solomon.

So from that day, I prayed, and I prayed hard every single day for the next two weeks, I declared the promises of God over my life and handed over my project to Him. Those 2 weeks I spent praying really gave me such peace that even if I fail, God is still in control and He holds my future in His hands. This didn’t mean that I didn’t continue to do my best and put in my best efforts, it just means that I still did my best but now the project is dedicate to God and allowed Him to be my Project Manager.

After two weeks of intense prayer, I got calls from different companies wanting to sponsor my project. This was the beginning of my breakthrough for this project. So I went to each one of them and selected a particular company because I had the peace of God to go for it. So within 2 days, I received all the hardware and software I needed to progress all the way to the completion of my project. In totally I received RM2300 worth of equipment for free to do my project. I only had to spend a less than RM100 for additional stuff. Praise God~!

A major battle was won but victory of the war has still yet to come. I only had less than 3 weeks to totally complete the whole full fledged operations smart card system. I stayed up almost every night till dawn, having on average of only 8 hours of sleep a week. During those times I really prayed for God’s strength and grace to sustain me and keep my mind and health from breaking down. God was faithful, I was never sick nor did I have any mental block. In fact, I did 15 weeks worth of work within a little over 2 weeks.

Take note people, this is NOT because I was lazy from the beginning of my project okay? It was because I was really stuck and had no way to progress on, but when God intervened, it all turned out well.. So IF you just pray without giving your best in what you do, DON'T expect God to grant you great success because God can only work if we're willing to do our part, at the same time depend on Him. What you sow is what you reap~!

So today I can testify that I got a B+ for my final honors project~! It’s one of the best grades one can get because getting an A is very VERY hard. I am so thankful to God that He gave me hope when there was hopelessness, He gave me peace when my life was in chaos, He gave me life when death was so evident around me. I’m proud to say that I’ve completed this project with outstanding results NOT with just my own strength, but it’s because of God’s hand over me and the project. I would have never succeeded if it wasn’t for Him… Here's a picture of me, my course-mates and our Head of Programme after our convocation on the 25th of November 2006 in Inti University College Malaysia, Nilai..

I hope this testimony will inspire all of you who are still students out there to learn to trust in God... "In all your ways, acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight..." For those who have yet to know Jesus and receive Him in your heart, just give Jesus a chance, you have nothing to lose but so much more to gain…

Now back to the car project, I just got word from my project foreman that the prices of the engine are still quite high so I’ve decided not to buy it from the supplier I initially wanted to get it from. I’m gonna source out for other suppliers in a few states around Malaysia this coming week to look for the best deal. Don’t worry people, it’s a major delay but I promise that this project will be completed no matter what~!

That’s all I have for tonight people, sometime this week, prayerfully I would be able to get all the engine purchasing stuff settled. I myself also getting a bit impatient but I still believe it will all work out for the good through lots and lots of prayer… Please take note that I'll only be posting project reports every alternate days, starting this week. This is not because I'm too lazy to post but its more to lessen the amount you all have to read... Haha~! Have a great week ahead people~! God Bless~!

Project Report #7 - Engine Homeward Bound

It is Friday again people~! The weekends coming up~! I can’t believe one week has just past us by in just a blink of an eye. So many things has happened cramp up within these few days, but praise God the weekend’s here~! Must catch up on my rest… Haha~! It’s gonna be a great day today. Though many things may not have gone as planned but I know God is control~!

My foreman remained silent yesterday when I sms him, but I was too busy settling other stuff to call him. So until now, there is no news on the whereabouts of my engine. I can’t blame my foreman for not being able to get back to me yesterday because he’s currently undertaking so many projects besides mine. Let’s hope that today will be the day that I get some news about my engine’s journey to the Klang Valley. Hope it didn’t drown in the ports of Johor Bahru.

EVOLUTION~! I still don’t understand why people still bank on trying to disprove that there’s a creator of the universe. Sometimes I wonder why these scientists study all their lives to prove a lie. Everything has to have a beginning, I believe in that too, but all these people are trying to declare is that there’s NO God involved in the beginning, that it all happen by coincidence.

I still wonder, if evolution does exist, then how did all the complex parts of a human being come together? Let’s not even go to humans yet, but even the simplest of cells have complex functions in it to survive. Do think all these can be created through just a Big BANG?? Just have a good look at your own body, every part is well placed in order and everything has a perfect function to meet everything we require to live on this earth. There are so many complex systems in our body that’s placed perfectly to work together in harmony… So how can all this be put together by chance?

Imagine this with me, let’s take something simple, something like a 50 piece puzzle for instance… If you’re a believer of evolution, try this experiment. Take the puzzle outside, get yourself some TNT dynamite, place the dynamic in the puzzle box with the puzzle pieces inside, set the trigger and blow the puzzles up. Do you think you would be able to get any of the pieces fitted together properly? You won’t even get 2 CORRECT pieces fitted together, all you'll have is just pieces OF THE PIECES of the puzzle… Get it? Haha~!

If you’re a person who believes that macro evolution happens after millions and millions of years, then try this experiment. Take another 50 piece puzzle, leave it in the box and start shaking it. Do this until it all comes together in its correct fitting. How long do you think you’ve to shake the box until it all comes together PERFECTLY? Not even a million years… So there you go, that’s why I’m a strong believer that everything in the universe has a beginning as well as a creator…

You judge the skills of a master by his masterpiece, you rate and inventor by his inventions. Guess what? If God was the one who put you together, placed every cell, tissue, organ and system so perfectly, how would you rate Him then? Even our very heartbeat is held in God’s hands because it is not in our control, who on earth can activate and deactivate his own heart at will?

The architecture and ingenuity of our bodies is so fascinating and so amazing that until today no scientist or doctor has fully understood it. In fact, we probably only understand less than 15% about how our bodies actually work. It just amazes me that we humans have the capability to invent so many things, the aero plane, the computers, the cell phones and many many other fascinating inventions. Who do you think put this ability in us? Do you think with our limited minds we could actually come up with so many things by ourselves?

God is the master inventor, His greatest invention is man kind. Every single cell was knitted together to form our body, but it took His breath to give us life. I am fully convinced that there has to be a creator because all living organisms on this earth are far to complex to have been created by chance or coincidence. Why did I bring up this topic all of a sudden? It’s because I’m very pissed off by a project the European Union is embarking on right now. They’re building this multi-BILLION dollar machine, which is also the BIGGEST machine ever made by man, to research and further prove the macro evolution theory, to prove the BIG BANG nonsense. What a waste of money~! Many countries’ economy could’ve been revived through that amount of cash… What stupid people we live amongst… Haha~!

So people, the earth is our heritage, so treasure it~! I may sound like an environmentalist but I’m just letting you know that everything good that we have today are gifts that came from the inspiration of God. We can never comprehend the mind of God because His ways are always higher than our ways, and His thoughts are always higher than our thoughts. So since He KNOWS EVERYTHING, I better live under His guidance than to screw up my one chance of living on earth… Hope you people feel the same~!

Remember is shared about being compassionate to the poor a few entries ago? Well, amongst you sponsors, there’s this one dude who’s totally sold out in blessing the poor community. This guy has a fantastic heart and he never denies anyone that is in need. To all the girls out there, this guy is one heck of a catch… It gives me great honor to introduce you to my good friend and close brother, NICHOLAS CHAN a.k.a. 'Wai Hong' a.k.a. 'Mai Pien' Rai a.k.a. 'Chan Miang Miang' a.k.a. etc… This guy has too many nick names already… every year we give a new one… this is bad… Haha~!

This dude from Penang has been such a blessing to my life over the past 2 years I’ve known him. We grew closer because our heart for the Orang Asli people. We went on a mission trip together in a kampung up Camerons called Telimau. It was a fantastic time and my experience there is priceless. Did you know that Nick is a super scholar? He’s one of the few who actually qualified for the JPA scholarship and he got a placement in Australia. Very few people get such good placements, but this guy chose to give up his scholarship because of his passion to serve with his church here and his heart to bless the people in Malaysia.

Though many things have happened that I know has torn and broken him inside these past few years, but he’s endurance to fulfill the vision of his heart is commendable. He goes down to the streets of Kuala Lumpur to serve the homeless people there almost every weekend. Mind you that these people do not have the best of dressing, appearance and SMELL, but this guy’s compassion towards them is immense. He’s willing to get his own hands dirty to see another life blessed and changed for the glory of God. What greater message to preach than to preach through the acts of love. It’s because he knows Jesus loved him and accepted him for who he is that drives him to love these poor people…

All my years of knowing Nick, never once has he said “NO” in times where I was in need. He’s always ready to bless the people around him and never ever holds back on giving his best. His willingness to give up whatever he has to see another need fulfilled, even though he himself ends up not having enough, inspires me to do the same. What I’ve caught from him is his love and compassion towards people…

To Nick… It has been a great journey of friendship with you. I will never forget the times where you’ve given up your time and efforts to help me through difficult situations. God has really placed a special gift in you for people, a heart of gold that always longs to see others live in the blessing and love of God. I am certain that everyone in Harvest Generation and in Acts Church have been one way or another inspired and blessed through your life…

How I accredit you through this entry does no justice to all that you’ve done for me. I cannot thank you enough in just mere words, all I can do is to make you an example to be a friend back to you, the same way you’ve been a friend to me. We will always be ‘Telimau Brothers’, and I’m really looking forward for more local and international mission trips with you.

Don’t ever look down on your abilities, but cultivate and continue to be faithful because I know you will see the increase. Put your trust in God and He will make your path straight. I know that many many more people will be blessed through the ministries that you’ll be starting in the near future. Pursue the dreams and visions that God has placed in your heart with all confidence and boldness, He will provide for your every need if you just make Him your MAJOR shareholder.

Our friendship and what we share as brothers in Christ will forever be cherished in my heart. Thank you for being my friend, thank you for being a brother. I am looking forward to serving in the church alongside you this coming year. I know greater things are ahead and I’m excited to explore what God has in store for us through the new works He will do through Harvest Generation.

That’s all I have for today people! Sponsors, have fantastic weekend and make sure you don’t do anything silly~! Smile people~! Because there’s always a reason to smile if you look closer in your own lives… Log on tomorrow to find out what will be happening to my engine ~! Enjoy your Friday and God Bless~!
