Four Months.

Thanks to Minghui, I decided to pull out my driving license from my wallet and check when's the next time should I go and renew my driving license. And to my horror, I'm late by 4 months!

yes, 4 months.

This also means that I've been driving illegally for 4 months now and I really thank God that no police had stopped me so far to ask for my license. And I've been driving to and from uni, church practices and meetings and all and not forgetting, cny visitings!

Look, I drove the car perfectly fine without any fear of license being checked for the past 4 months until I know that my license has expired. And the fear of driving without license is there.

Thats what you call the consciousness.

The same goes for The Law and The Grace. Its up to our mind to set its focus on. Its either we're self-conscious or Christ-conscious.

The former will lead to fear of being penalised and hence fear of God but the latter will lead to unending love and cause you to fall more in love with Him. The former will draw you away from God but the latter will draw you closer to God.

SO yeah, maybe its a worth-thinking question? How have we been? :)

Really!

If you're looking for the best maggi goreng ever in Klang (or maybe so far, of all the mamak stalls I've tried in Klang Valley),

And if you think that I've a very nice littlest sister..

and this is what you're gonna get from the sadist. Think twice! :)

How Ironic!

I'm a Christian but I'm still a Chinese.

So people, I still do celebrate Chinese New Year. I realise that alot of people tend to think that once you become a Christian, you no longer celebrate festivals that has got to do with Chinese. Aiyo, being a Christian doesnt make myself a westerner la. So, I'm still a Chinese, a 100% Chinese! Chinese is my race, and Christianity is my religion (not exactly a religion but I don't want to confuse you further in this now). Yeah, so celebrating Chinese New Year has got nothing to do with being a Christian (or the religion as a whole). It's a cultural thingy. Chinese New Year has got nothing to do with Buddhism as well, its just a Chinese thing you know. Its the race, the culture. We don't celebrate Wesak Day or All Souls Day etc because these beliefs embraces the Buddhism (like Wesak Day is Buddha's birthday?) so yeah. So basically a Chinese Christian like myself (and many other people) celebrate Chinese New Year, Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Christmas.


I just came out from the shower with my hair washed, oh yes today's the first day of cny.

According to the olden Chinese beliefs, all my good luck should have been washed off and nothing left for the remaining of this year. Ahh really? I must be really unlucky for years already since I wash my hair everyday! Looking back, I don't think so! That's because my life is not an accident, and things don't come by luck. I don't believe in luck. I believe Jesus' grace is always sufficient for me and He's my provider in everything. He watches my steps everyday, and guide me as I surrender my life to Him. I know everything will be good because He only knows how to give good things to us. So yeah, just in case you ter-wash your hair today, fret not! Your so-called 'luck' this year should not be deterned by that accidental act of washing your hair but believe that Jesus is a God of abundance who will never shortchange you :)

Happy Chinese New Year people!

Something Bout Jogs.

Today, I met my senior, Suet Leng during our usual jog sessions. Man, I haven't met her since she left secondary school and she's still so much taller than me! More than one head! I bet she's a six-footer now! And when I had to look up so high just to talk to her, and guess what she said?

"Don't worry, you can still grow. Take me as your benchmark"

Grow horizontally it is! No more verticals for me edi la, so sad!

If you've read this post of mine before, I mentioned that its an official thing that I cannot grow anymore. So yeah, I've to face the reality boohoo!

I bet she isn't aware of my age. You know, one thing about seniors are that their impression of you stays put with the year they last meet you. Unless you're still in touch with them. For example, Yee Pam still thinks that I'm form 3 now and she insisted that I'm still underage for 18pl movies or to go clubbing. I've grown and I'm no longer the small kid that you all though that oI am.

Talking bout jogs, have you wondered why one feels a sharp pain on the muscle just right below the ribs when you haven't jogged for a while? That's definitely not an appendicitis I assure you! That's just to show that you're not fit. Its basically spasms of your muscles because of the lack of oxygen. If you suffer from this, you may want to adjust your breathing mechanism a little? It's also known as stitch, so yeah you can google bout it if you want to know more.

And another common jog annoyance is the itch on your thigh up to your gluteus maximus (yes, whayying, the butt muscle). This 'itch' is caused by the blood circulation. As you all know, all these endurance exercises require a lot of energy, and all these energy can be harvested by the respiration (C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ --> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy).

That also means we need alot of oxygen as well to get more energy. Because of this, our arteries and blood capillaries kept expanding and contracting in repeated mode to allow more blood flow. And yes, this repeated expansion and contraction actually delivers signal to our brain and somehow our brain interprets it as itch.

Keep your jogging sessions more regular will do the trick, and not by scratching yourself uh :)

A Brand New Direction.

If you've been following my blog entries like this one, I've mentioned before that we as Christ's ambassadors are all recession-proof!

By God's grace and favour, I've gotten a job offer in one of the MNCs this morning, a foreign-based pharmaceutical company.

---

That time, I was so unprepared for the interview since I thought it was just another just-for-experience interview but nope. God actually said "this is the company" very clearly right after the interview. He spoke!

I also remember very vividly my aimlessness after SPM and after SAM on what course should I pursue next. And I heard Him speaking to me very clearly as well on what should I do next (like what course and where). Its as if the burden in my heart was lifted while peace and joy would fill it once He speaks. Because I know that His hands will be on it and His plans are to prosper us always.

I really don't know what else to say when God prepared everything ahead. I can only stand in awe. He's like so awesome, all I need to do is to trust and obey; believe and receive.

My final exam will be on Feb 10^th and I'll be starting work on Feb 16^th. How soon eh? But I really wanna thank God for His provision and to testify His goodness and faithfulness in my life.

Ain't writing all these to brag here but I secretly hope that you'll grasp this same faith and know that if Jesus can bless Mun Khea like this, He can too do the same to you when you allow Him to :)

Is It In?

Amanda carried and played with the heaviest racquet but yet every shot she gave was so powerful.



Need I show more?


Today's game's indeed a real good one. Never have had such good game for quite sometime already.

I count it a blessing to be able to play with you (powerful) three. Thanks!

Maybe Uh?

I was conversing with Amanda just now and I found out that its true that most people don't really apply what they've studied. I mean, who'd actually apply things we studied like algebra or differentiation or calculus in our daily lives right? Maybe only the engineers do.

But isn't life all about Science? Our everyday life will definitely be consists of Biology, Physics and Chemistry mixed altogether that we cannot even make a distinct separation between these. Life itself is Science! Agree?

Manda feels that I'm a thinker. Maybe I am. Like for example, who bother thinking why would the sound of water become softer as they fill up the water bottle? Well, a weirdo like me do! That's because there are lesser (air) space for the air molecules in the water bottle to vibrate as the water fills up the water bottle hence giving a lower amplitude?

Ronnie once asked me why will there be blue-black. Is it because the cells of that bruised part died? The answer is no.

I don't know how true is it but I personally think its because when we bruise ourselves, the blood vessels of the bruised area will rupture and caused them (the blood) to leak into our tissue under the skin (the blue-black is actually the colour of our blood under the skin). And usually the blood will clot together forming a large clot under the skin. The macrophages of our white blood cells will detect the antigen of these foreign particles (blood under the tissue) and will usually clear these 'foreign particles' up. It will heal on its own within a few days/weeks (depends on the individual).

If you notice, the olden days people don't need to study Immunology to learn bout the macrophages and antigens and whatnot. They just rub the bruise with some force in order to heal faster. Its true you know. Reasons? When they rub it, the blood under the skin will not clot together as one huge blood clot. They will be more evenly spread providing a larger surface area:volume ratio so that more macrophages can do the work at one point of time (increased rate of reaction!). Hence heal faster la.

I don't think any textbooks will tell you the process of bruising or how's the process of getting rid of the blue-blacks but its all application. Interesting eh?

Maybe from now on, you'd like to think bout them? It's interesting la. The more I learn or apply, the more I'm in awe of God because He's the creator of all these things!

Think bout it :)

Youth Sunday.

If you take a look at the time now, its 5.57am on a Sunday morning!

No, I didn't wake up early. I haven't even gone to bed yet. We'll be having our first Youth Sunday later where the youth church will take over the Sunday service for the very first time! I'm very thrilled right now and I believe God would use us to show everyone that we, as young as we are would also serve Him, worship Him and we're real with our passion for Him.

I believe most of you have heard me mentioning bout my youth (Harvest Youth) so many times and prolly some of you might wonder what we do when we meet together. Here's a video clip bout what what we do in youth that I've compiled all night.




Enjoy it!

Dream Big!

Today in marketing lecture, Dr Ting made each one of us write down our dream(s) on a piece of paper. He said, one who doesn't have a dream is almost lifeless because we have nothing to work towards too. We don't have the motivation, we don't have a particular aim in lives.


It's true. For once, I actually agree with him. I pondered for a moment before writing down my dream.


"Touch every lives that I meet"


Sounds impossible eh? I know for now I'm not even 1% there yet, and I can't do anything near there with my own strength. But I believe with God's strength and love, I can.



What bout you? What's your dream in your life? Maybe you have never thought of it before but what do you hope to see in the end of your life when you look back? What do you wish to achieve?



Dream big and work towards it hand-in-hand with God.

Truly.

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me

Break my heart from what breaks Yours
Everything I am for Your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

Issues with hair.

I waxed my hair a little just for fun just now.

Yk thinks that I look like a guy there but if I do, it must be a really metrosexual guy. Vy thinks that person in that pic looks very yeng and she likes it alot. I think most won't like it.

The more I look at this picture, the more I find myself looking really vain in there. Its unintentional by the way!

I personally think that my hair multiplies instead of lengthening you know. Maybe I should go and thin it. But no cutting definitely! By the way it has been more than 1/2 a year since I last trimmed it. The last time was before my Redang trip with The Gang in July.

---

Whayying thinks that I emo alot these days. JueShea and Hunyee calls me a nerd (or super nerd for JueShea's case). They'll look at me whenever Dr Ting mentions bout nerd. Its just like how we all look at ruifong whenever the word weirdo is mentioned. They coincide, you see.

I'm not lar.. I think.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Discoveries.Inspirations.Revelations.!

It has been 2 years already since I started blogging.

I still remember what were my first few entries about. They were about my journey as an intern in Sunway Medical Centre and how God's favour was upon me throughout the entire internship. I also remember how I used to chat with Amelia every night and she was one of the first few people who knows bout the existence of this blog. And I actually wrote a story bout she, Ali and Abu I think before she left for her long holiday in China. She's one of my dearest friends that I'd share most of my ups and downs with, one that I'd confide with and one who has been there with me throughout. Thank you, friend, if you're reading this. I don't think you can ever comprehend how much as friend you mean to me.

The name of this blog used to be "Be Blessed" before it was changed to this simply because I want everyone who come across this blog would be blessed by what they read. I personally don't want it to be a boring life journal about oneself or mere complains but I want it to be an encouragement, a place where one will feel blessed, encouraged and feel God's love for them. After a while, I decided to change the name to Discoveries.Inspirations.Revelations because I want to pen type down my discoveries, inspirations or revelations that I receive.

36578 visitors since Jan '07.

I cannot tell if that's a low, average or high hit but what matters most is that out of these 36578 hits, God would have spoken to at least 50 times if not all?

I've friends stalking on my blog and accidentally revealed themselves during our meetups. I've people telling me via msn that they're so encouraged with what God's doing in my life and they could feel the strong passion for God and just by reading, they want to be like that too, they want to share that same flame and prolly burn even brighter. Hallelujah for that! I've even got people, a total stranger adding me on msn after reading my blog entries (she found my blog by random googling) and got so inspired and encouraged by the walk and love of God again and she too want to learn to be like that.

Thank you, people for all these encouragements.

I don't think I'll press on blogging if not for all these encouragements. I'm not in any way bragging here but I just wanna emphasize on the power of blogging, the power of words that you may not know yet but the joy of having others blessed will make one feel really good. In the end of the day, all glory still due Jesus!

So yeah, a big thank you to you all.

New Hope, New Beginning.

Just got back from watchnight service in church. To those of you who missed our youth presentation led by ruifong, too bad la. He's good =)

HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE!

To me, I personally believe that new year represents new hope, new beginning. So, I just wanna encourage all of you to let go whatever you had in the past and strive for what's ahead. Like how Pastor Ryan puts it, burn the bridge behind you as you move forward. Let the past be your past; an experience to mould you and to push you further. Try not to have any "if onlys" seeps into your life, they will not help you in anyway, trust me.

I've known Jesus for 7 years now and I thank God that He has been watching over my life for all these 7 years. Like everyone, I've fallen so many times. I've even given up myself alot of times but it was Him who picks me up everytime and bring my life to another level. He taught me how to love, He taught me how to care, He taught me how to give just like Him when I don't know how to. I believe even till now I'm still not good at doing what I've just mentioned but I believe He's still at work moulding me and transforming me to be more like him each day. Like it or not, you have to be patient with me because God is not finished with me yet. Heh!

I'd also like to take this opportunity to ask for forgiveness if I've offended any of you in any way throughout this year or in the past. Thank you for bearing with all my nonsensical behaviour in anyway. I believe this year is gonna be another year of breakthrough! Amen?

So let's strive forward together and let Him shines in us and through us! =)
