Soul-ed Out, Mont Kiara.

Similar to Chili's, I think Soul-ed Out is an awesome place to hang out. It's located at Desa Sri Hartamas, somewhere near Jin Seon's place

Somehow, I like it here. The cozy ambience with light lightings, and with simple but creative (dragonflies) deco.

I like food here too. Jo and I both ordered Cordon Blurr. Huge sausage in the center wrapped with layers of chicken ham and oozing cheese, before it was dipped into the batter for a quick deep frying resulting in a crispy golden surface. This is served with (lovely) fries, salad and mushroom sauce.

Next, you wouldn't want to miss the mashed potato here. It's awesome I tell you. It's not just like the normal mashed potato that we can find in western restaurants or KFC. These mashed potatoes were mashed together with cheese leaving the potato with more viscous texture and mouthfeel, while giving the cheezie ummph! Just one word: awesome!

Mashed Potato

Another maincourse would be Jin Seon and Jaclyn's Bolognaise Twist. The puree was not too sour, the minced meat goes really well with other ingredients to taste and the most important part would be the cheese, in fact, alot of them! I tried only some (one mouth) and the mouthfeel and taste itself already left me to know that I will not be able to finish this plate of pasta. It's so feeling and too huge a portion.

Bolognaise Twist

"You sure cannot finish one lar" was what I told Jin Seon and boy, how wrong was I. She was the first person amongst us to finish up her food and she could still eat, I mean she wasn't entirely full yet.

The portion was so huge la that I think Mun Wah and I will share this plate if we were to order it. Jo was right, do not be deceived by Jin's slim feature, she can eat.

Jo and Jac, the newly wed.

I think other than the ambience and food taste, companion plays a huge role too! Thanks guys!

Yoga Ban.

“In Islam, a believer must not do things that can erode one’s aqidah or faith. Doing yoga, even just the physical movements, is a step towards erosion of one’s faith in the religion, hence Muslims should avoid it,” he said.

I believe if one is strong in their faith with deep rooted foundation, their faith cannot be shaken that easily.

If merely practising yoga or attending ONE session of church event can shake their faith, then where the credit goes after so many years of attending Sekolah Agama (religious school) since young, praying 5 times a day and practising other religious activity.

I supposed something is missing somewhere?

I'm not saying all these to critisize one's faith but its just something that hit me. Maybe something worth pondering?

Kids These Days..

Latest discovery:

I wanted to transfer credit from Dad and when I was in Dad's inbox, I found out that Dad never cleared his old messages in his phone before. The oldest message in his phone was since 2003.

ITS TWO THOUSAND THREE, PEOPLE! Amazing uh? Nah.. it's just five years ago.

Today is the second day of Harvest Kids' Camp. The kids never failed to amaze me.


Ian's slipper (after lunch)

Ian: Teacher, I cannot find my slipper

(follows him to the slipper place)

Ian: My slipper is something like this *slipped his foot in one of the slippers* but this is not mine

me: Then try to find another? Should be yours edi la, 'cause only got one

Ian: But mine when I wear is cold cold one, this one hot hot one!

Zac: then I don't want.

Zac: Yeah... ohh I got take orange too.

Zac: *smile* yeah.

(after a moment, he came running to me again)

Zac: Is this watermelon?

me: yeah, you want?

Zac: I think I can try.

(after taking a bite, he ran back to me)

Zac: teacher, I think I can take this too

me: oh good, you want somemore?

Zac: Don't want. 'Cause I already took one piece.

Kids these days..


It's so tiring to take care of these 60 kids. My legs already died on me today. Believe it or not, as nocturnal as I am, I fell asleep before 10pm last night and slept throughout til this morning. This is really rare on me.

Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Hope I can wake up! Heh, so good night!

Wait, before I end,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TEO LI AN-NE!!


Welcome to the "Number-2-world"! Heh!

15 November 2006

Paper Bag: eh u dun have my number, how u gonna wish me?? hahaha!

mk: wish you? oh yeahor!!! number please!

Reading back these msn conversations saved as history brings back lots of memories. And I thank God I've grown, seriously! Omg I was so childish back then la.

You're old, xuewen! =P

And today marks the second year (but third birthday) with you, xuewen.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

These two years wouldn't be as awesome if without you.

Sorry, I couldn't do much with the celebration since I know your other groups' all competing to celebrate for you. Hehe. Glad that you had a great time!

Not trying to be cheesy here, but just wanna say you're one of the awesomest friends I ever had and trusted. Thanks for being there. Cheers!

Bring Forth The Healing!

I was reading Sera's blog just the other day and something led me to share these with her. If any of you who have been following her blog post, you'll know that she's a chronic gastric patient and she yearned for His healing so that she will suffer no more.

Other than Sera, I know some of you too, could be suffering from some pain, be it physically or emotionally and whatnot. I've already asked her for permission if I could repost whatever I commented in her blog here and I think it'll serve a great reminder for all of us (at least it was for one of my friends who read it).

Here it goes:

Sera, its said in Isaiah 53: 4-5 that by His stripes, you are healed!

It didn't say that you are going to be healed but it says you are (already) healed. I believe every stroke that Jesus received on the cross is a sign of complete healing even for your gastric pain. The whole thing is already complete (that's why Jesus said 'It is done!')

So now, just speak to your gastric pain that "By Jesus' stripes, I am healed'. Start thanking Him for your healing. All you need to do now is to believe and receive the healing. Human's nature is to whine and said its impossible, but to God, it is already done. It is up to us if we want to proclaim the healing or not.

Last year, my mom got diagnosed with a tumour in her soft bones, on her face, eating up most of her flesh already and its gonna damage her brain anytime soon if it grows any bigger. Mun Wah and I laid our hands on her, thanked Jesus for the miraculous healing (even before the biopsy test) and we believe that mom is already healed. True enough, during the biopsy test, the surgeon accidentally took out the entire thing without causing any damage to mom's face etc and she's totally healed.

And just two months ago, one of my church uncle got diagnosed with brain cancer. The youth thanked God for the healing and proclaimed His healing. Today, he's totally healed from that brain cancer. Amazing isn't it?

Now, do you think our Daddy who loves us so much, would He not hear your cry for your gastric and your sufferings? If He could, He'd say, "Sera, my Son has already bore all these for you. Just proclaim and believe, my daughter and you're already healed. Don't let the devil put thoughts in your mind. You do not need to do good to get all these, because my Son has already redeemed you. And that's what we call grace."

I bet you've heard all these so many times already but I guess it serves a great reminder that He's still faithful and He's the Healer. Let our faith be reaffirmed in His name.

Now let me pray for you:

"Father in heaven, I just wanna thank You for the miraculous healing on this reader's body right now. I thank You, Jesus for Your complete work on the cross. I know, by Your stripes, this person is already healed. I want to thank You once again and proclaim all these in Jesus' name, amen"

Dear Earthly Father..

Friend: hey

Friend: I'm so dead

Friend: How?

Friend: pray for me, will ya?

mk: of course I will

Friend: thank you so much

Friend: muaks

mk: Lord Jesus, I thank You for Your favour upon Minghui's life. I pray that You'll continue to grant her peace, wisdom and understanding as she prepares for her paper tomorrow and please cause her brain to absorb like sponge too. Quicken her understanding and help her to remember, give her a nudge and remind her tomorrow if she couldn't remember, Lord. I thank You and proclaim good results even right now and that her examiner will find favour in her answer scripts. I thank You for Your faithfulness in her life, and I thank You for being with her. Guide her, lead her, keep her healthy. In Jesus' name, amen.

Friend: Amen!

mk: =) Don't play play lehh my prayer very powerful one ah. God heard it already. Hahaha

Friend: Dear Earthly Father please bless this wonderful lady who prayed for me. May you equally bless her as well as bless me. In the name of Jesus, amen!

mk: earthly father? praying to your dad?

mk: in sentul?

Friend: sorry

Friend: Dear Lord,

Friend: haha

mk: hahahahhahahahha

mk: its okay la.. He understands =)

mk: thanks!

Why Would This Happen?

From a sentence to an argument to covering by dad. End result -- an emotional breakdown. In fact, a real serious one which involves respiration blockage.

Other than trying to apply my medical rescue, we prayed as a whole. It was the first time we prayed as a family. We each prayed not once, but twice, that includes Mun Sheung.

I personally believe that God will bring this family to a higher level after this incident. Faith.

Rain or Shine.

I was having my evening nap when I got the text message from Jo Kien.

"Is that you in page 34 of TheStar today?"

(taken from thumbnails of TheStar)

What do you reckon?

Friend, I care because I love.

Amendments in Food Science course structure.

I know this released news brought in a lot of discontentment in you. I believe it affects all 2o+ of you for now but I believe its not necessarily a bad thing altogether. Things will go 'badder' if you think its bad and 'gooder' if you think they are, how funny; and you chose the former.

And you said I'm not helping but demoralizing? I mean, c'mon la, I'm not taking side anywhere here and you can just go research for yourself if whatever I said is true. These are what other universities are doing as well la. I'm not trying to add salts to your freshly cut wound, what more when there isn't even actually an obvious wound?

If you think the changes is unfair, and you're totally against this idea, do you think I'm not for you if I don't flock with your idea? Do you think its better to have a shutting ear and just go all out with your 'idea' in mind that you deem correct?

You may think that I'm an outsider and won't know (or bother to know) how you all feel and think and the opposition is definitely wrong. What makes you think that I didn't try being in your shoes?

But if you insist, then I'll just wish you well. I'm not trying to rub in anything or neutralizing the complications, I'm here just for you. Because it's you, my friend.

One day, just one day you'll find out and you'll realize it and thank me for what I've said today. Then you'll go "Ahh, if only I was not that terburu-buru the other time, then I won't be at the losing side at all. Everyone wants the best for me and I'm thankful." That one day.

Friend, I care because I love. And I know what I'm talking about, so listen.

This Cute Boy Took My Heart Away (Tonight).

Calling me a paedophile? Haha, wait till you see him in person! =)

Just A Drink =)

I just finished my Environmental Health paper (afternoon paper) and I have Medical Micro paper 2 tomorrow morning. Yes, its again another back-to-back paper with less than 24 hours intervals. Looks like time is a factor, which is true.

But somehow, I don't see the point that we should pathetically squeeze every information into our poor brain every seconds. We cannot afford to waste any seconds, one may say. That's when the word (or rather the action) study smart comes in.

I think at this point of time, besides turbo-ing in our studies, it'll be great if we can take a little time off blessing someone. Just buy someone a drink maybe? Offer someone your notes and help them to understand parts that they don't understand maybe? Picking up the guitar and just spend some time enjoying His presence maybe? Oh, I washed my car thoroughly last night hehe.

Just last night, I was quite stressed when my drummer suddenly said he couldn't play for me this Saturday, and this happened after choosing my songs and sending them out. Right then, I picked up my guitar and just spent some time worshipping Him and His peace fell right into my heart there and then. There I know, its not about the music but our attitude in worship. I believe I can still lead the whole congregation into a great time of worship without the drums, as long as we're worshipping Him. It's all about Jesus, and He's the only audience. And when I start studying, things get absorbed into the brain really fast. Trust me, when you put God first in everything, everything else will fall into place just as He will (Matthew 6:33).

And just now, though it may be just a short meet up with Yiwei, I'm already blessed.

So friends, start buying a drink for someone today. That little money that you spend gets to sow seeds into someone's life, what a bargain weyy! And it feels really really good you know! I've tried many many times and it still feels so good.

Okay, gotta turbo now. I believe His favour is upon me now. Study smart, mk!

P/s: I can't wait for tomorrow's lined up plans =D

He Is The Same God.

Sometimes it takes a lot of us to believe that Jesus died on the cross for us. It's easier to say that He died because He has to, or just believe it as one of the histories recorded in the bible for us. But the truth is, He died for you and I. Period.

He didn't do that so that people would think that He's so good, but He is good. He did that out of love for us all, so that we all can be co-heir with Him, so that we can enjoy all the privileges to be His sons and daughters, and so that we can have eternal life.

You know, sometimes it got me thinking if I deserve all these favour.

For example, 2 weeks ago, I proclaimed and declared that God will cause my brain to absorb like sponge. True enough, it happened! Like, I finished 30 lecture notes of Food Science in ONE day. Isn't that amazing?

I was supposed to go through these notes again for memory purposes, since Dr Siow said it's gonna be really really really tough and she thinks that I may not be able to make through? I felt really really discouraged walking out from her office. What add on was that I was terribly sick yesterday and I had Medical Micro paper that day. At night when I was better, I only managed to finish 5 lectures out of 30 lectures.

The next day, into the exam hall I walked with a smile knowing that He's with me and His favour is with me. It was awesome how God placed that peace in me. I prayed for 2 familiar essay questions and must be from the 5 lectures that I have, and I silently expect for just a pass with these amount of revision I have.

I ended up had ALL the questions (minus one short answer question) answered with my sponge-brain-memory in less than 2 hours (exam time given was 3 hours). Without Him, I couldn't have done that. He never fails to amaze me.

Now, the same God who loves me so much and calls me His beloved is the same God who is walking with you right now and if He could (without scaring you), He wants to tell you in audible voice that He loves you =)

Nothing is impossible for Him, really.

Anyone Has A Tampon?

I seriously think I need to stuck 'em into both my nostrils tomorrow.

Otherwise, I would have to bring the entire box of tissue paper into the exam hall, blowing my nose at every other time while the rest in the MPH would shooosh me wanting a pin-drop silence there. It's leaky, or rather worse than that, running like hose!

I remember telling xuewen, if I had to fall sick and I can choose what kind of 'sickness' I can have, I think I'll choose cough. It's irritating, no doubt, but at least not as suffering as others? Agree? What's your pick?

Maybe I should take back my words and choose to be healthy. But did I say If I Have To Choose? Means I have to choose la..

Anyway, tomorrow on will be the start of my exam agony. More precisely, in 7 hours' time. Who would have to sit for 4 papers in a week, I mean at university level (secondary school lain story k)? Hrm!

Dilemma: Take medicine and sleep now, or take coffee to stay up to study? I think the latter la..

Keep me in prayer, folks! You'll be heavily exceedingly abundantly rewarded if you do. Teehee! *shows teeth*

Blessings 2X!

I used to quite like the song Unwell by Matchbox 20 and I totally forgotten bout it until Jo Kien's previous comment.

Then just that day when I was replying Hui Jin's text, it went like this:

Jin: U crazy dee.. it's not mine and nothing great of seeing him la. k then I see u tmr, wanna memorize.. haha..

mk: I'm not crazy but just a lil' unwell. haha. kla text me after your exam. will be there. ALL THE BEST DUDE! =) night

And you know what, the next day she thought I was really unwell and she almost brought those soluble Vitamins for me. I know it was my bad (miscommunication) but suddenly that lyric line just came to me lar, what to do? And not like I'm really unwell-unwell but its still so sweet of her right? Blessings.

And today, after 1 1/2 years of owning my current phone, I finally found the silent mode to my phone. I mean, I can't find the silent mode thingy and I do not know how to put it to silent mode before this!

But now I can =) Many thanks to Amelia, the hero-in!
