Requiescat in Pace 2011

Image
You must be wondering, what does “Requiescat in Pace” means? Well, it’s “Rest in Peace” in Latin. Why requiescat in pace 2011? As we enter 2012, all of our joy and sorrow in 2011 will rest in peace in our memory, the stories of 2011 will remain here and as we enter 2012, we reflected back at all of them and move forward. Moving forward encompasses of few elements: 1. Aim - The direction of your path 2. Courage – The strength to start the journey 3. Perseverance – The strength to finish the race Have you decide what you are going to do in this coming New Year? Have you set your aim? Do you have the courage to move on and the perseverance to finish what you are doing? When we are busy thinking of moving forward, we often forget that we might change as the years go by- physiologically, psychologically, sociologically and spiritually. Through these changes we experience tears and joy along the way.   Hebrew 13:8 (NIV), Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and toda

Smartphone – Problems for some people

Image
Amazingly, smartphones productions and sales are skyrocketing high in recent years. What I mean here is the touch-screen-smartphones (TSS). Majority of my friends are using TSS, some of them even have 2 smartphones with different numbers. Few brands are popular in the market: Apple, Samsung, Blackberry and Nokia. I chose Acer beTouch 140.  If previously you have heard about great things about TSS, let me share about some problems with smartphones. Sweaty hands: You’ll find difficulty with TSS if you have sweaty hands. Sometimes, the screen is not sensitive to your touch, so you need to wipe your fingers and the screen frequently. Moreover, the sweat will make the screen dirty. When it comes to games that require fast tapping (Tap the Frog and so on), you may find difficulty to excel in this type of game as your sweaty hands may sometimes disturb the reactivity of the screen to your touch. Typing messages:              Previously before having TSS, many of us are a

Tips for meeting the parents

Tips for meeting other people with different gender's parents: (From what the author observed in Sarawak) 1. Smile and greet (A simple "Hi" or "Hello" will do) 2. Introduce yourself (This is commonly being initiated by the parents, well, your name will be the last, your background shall come first) 3. If step 2 is delayed, start a conversation with a topic from the environment (Building, Job, Study, and so on) 4. Prepare for tricky and deeper question (Where did you guys met? How long have you guys been together? What is your name and so on, well, this is uncommon, psych!) 5. Follow the flow of conversation, chip in when necessary, never try to dominate the conversation (unless you are hot and no longer a newbie), listen and keep quiet. 6. Smile during the farewell, head nodding and hand waving will do. 7. This is when step 4 be in action. Usually about 1-2 hours after the meeting it will most probably happen, but sometimes it took about 24 hour

Tawanan Perang

Akibat ketidaktaatan dan tidak menjaga kekudusan, hamba itu seperti seorang tawanan yang dipermalukan dan dipermainkan oleh musuh-musuhnya. Hamba itu merasakan apa itu kematian, alangkah dahsyatnya perkara itu. Hamba itu ingin menjerit namun suaranya hilang, dia mahu melawan namun dia lemah dan tidak berdaya, pada hari itu, kemegahannya dan keagungannya dipersendakan. Musuhnya berkata, "Dimanakah kehebatanmu? Angkatlah pedangmu dan lawanlah aku!" Di dalam kekalahannya, hamba itu teringat akan kegemilangannya lalu dia berseru kepada Dia yang Maha Tinggi, "Ini aku, aku milik-Mu, aku telah bersalah terhadap-Mu, ampunilah aku dan bawalah aku mendekati-Mu Bapa!" Saat dia berseru, dia mendapat kekuatan dan keyakinan baru, dia seperti burung rajawali yang melebarkan sayapnya dan mulai melayang tinggi, musuh-musuhnya hairan kerana hamba yang lemah itu mulai mendapat kembali kekuatannya dan siap sedia untuk bertarung. Dia menewaskan musuh-musuhnya dengan kekuatan daripad

Prinsip Tuhan dan Prinsip Dunia

Shalom, pernahkah anda terfikir dan perasan bahawa prinsip Tuhan sangat berbeza dengan prinsip dunia? Contohnya, 1. Prinsip dunia: Apabila kita memberi, kita kehilangan. Apabila kita menerima, kita mendapatnya. Prinsip Tuhan: Lukas 6:38, Apa yang kamu berikan kepada orang lain, Allah juga akan memberikannya kepada kamu. Allah akan mencurahi kamu pemberian yang berlimpah-limpah. Sukatan yang kamu gunakan untuk orang lain akan digunakan oleh Allah untuk kamu. --- Berilah dan terimalah berkat. 2. Prinsip dunia: Kasihi sesiapa yang mengasihi kita, benci mereka yang membenci kita. Prinsip Tuhan: Lukas 6:27-28, "Tetapi Aku berkata kepada kamu yang mendengarkan Aku: Kasihilah musuh kamu dan berbuatlah baik kepada mereka yang membenci kamu. Berkatilah mereka yang mengutuk kamu, dan berdoalah untuk mereka yang menganiaya kamu. ---Kasihilah sesama manusia seperti kamu mengasihi dirimu sendiri. 3. Prinsip dunia: Sayangilah nyawamu, maka kamu akan menyelamatkannya
