Blessed

S halom, Kita berasa seronok dan "best" berada di tempat pelayanan atau gereja sendiri. Sehingga kita tidak ingin pergi jauh atau ke mana-mana lagi. Tempat pelayanan itu begitu menyeronokan kerana kita telah biasa dengan jemaatnya dan gaya pelayanan di sana. Hal yang demikian membuatkan kita sangat sayang dengan pelayanan kita. Ada satu perkara yang boleh mengugat keseronokan atau perasaan "best" ini, iaitu tawaran belajar atau bekerja di suatu tempat yang jauh dan asing bagi kita. Ramai yang terbantut di dalam pelayanan dan iman saat berjauhan dengan tempat pelayanan dan gereja kebiasaan. Mereka sudah tidak ke gereja dengan alasan "rasanya tidak sama", "tiada teman", "tiada urapan" dan lain-lain. Ada juga kes dimana seseorang pelayan itu menolak semua tawaran kerja dan belajar semata-mata ingin terus berada di tempat pelayanan/gereja yang biasa bagi dia itu. Jadi? Pergi atau tidak? Saya sayangkan pelayanan saya! Saya t...

Lately, I've won in a chess tournament in our faculty. ^__^ Today, a friend asked me whether I want to join a "chess competition" in our main campus Kota Samarahan on the 27th May 2012. Strange, I didn't feel any excitement about the competition. She show me a post in Facebook by her classmate announcing the "chess competition". Then I told her, that's not "chess" that's "cheers". It's "cheers competition" not "chess competition". Then she suddenly "shy-shy". I can't stop laughing remembering this. Sometimes, we do make mistake, and people do laugh at us. Don't worry, smile back at them, and show to them that, their laughter won't bring you down. :D Hallelujah!

Yohanes 15:1-8, Tanpa Aku, kamu tidak dapat berbuat apa-apa. Seringkali di dalam hidup, apa yang kita tempuhi selalunya agak sukar dan membuatkan kita ingin sahaja putus asa, tetapi kita terlupa akan ayat ini. Kita terlupa untuk berseru pada-Nya dan bergantung pada kekuatan Dia! Marilah kita berseru kepada Yesus Kristus Tuhan kita! Dengan kekuatan-Nya, kita tempuhi halangan dan dugaan yang melanda! Halleluya!

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:         ...

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...

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...
