And God said, If I give you an easy life, what kind of testimony would you be to others??
He smiled at her and answered, "Oh, that's easy -- when I see my image in it."

Seek Ye First The Kingdom of God
Matthew 6
Yes yes. I know it's long and lengthy but definitely worth the read. I've read it over a hundred times but I still feel happy, excited and encouraged every time i reread it.=)Giving to the Needy
1"Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.2"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Prayer
5"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9"This, then, is how you should pray:
" 'Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
11Give us today our daily bread.
12Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.a]"' 14For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Fasting
16"When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 17But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.Treasures in Heaven
19"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.22"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 23But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
Do Not Worry
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
In this chapter, my most favourite part is the "Do Not Worry" part. Im already 20 years of age and I realized the older I grow, the more responsibilities I have and the more responsibilities I have, the more worrisome I get. I tend to keep forgetting about what God says in times like these.
At this moment in life, I have many aims- Get Good Results in my Degree
- Learn more programming languages for job purposes in the future.
- Achieve long and short term targets in my floorballing career
- Get a part time yet high paying job=p
- (im teaching tuition now but not considered high paying enough=p)
- One part time job I have in mind is opening a Western Food stall.
- In order to achieve the aforementioned, I need to keep working on my culinary abilities. A big thank you to all guinea pigs who have so kindly sampled my cooking especially my wife =)
- Start to invest in my future.
I'm not so worried anymore . I'll just do my best and seek God's kingdom first=)
So should you. ;)

I am so hungry now.I havent eaten dinner.Ive yet to complete my lab shift in 1 and a half hours and im thinking of u
This question from her would arise especially more so on days when her exams are around the corner. I would rhetorically reply to her rhetoric ranting by saying that we are here because of one reason alone which is for GOD and to live his special WILL designed for your life.
I hear some of you thinking in your minds "AH....CLICHE~~~~" Believe me, I felt that exact same way the moment those words escaped out of my trap. I felt bad, horrible, mortified. After 20 years of existing in this world, I find myself still unable to capture and explain the true essence of the beauty of God's will..
Lucky for you and me, by divine intervention with the help of "anda tiub" I found a video which i strongly believe captures that essence to a substantial extent. Having said that, not sharing this video with you would make me a complete *passageway for bodily excretion* (this IS a family friendly blog btw)
So enjoy. =)
Thank you..

Time has freed up for me
To the faithful readers, friends and aquaintances,
I am sorry for either replying messages in my chat box extremely late or more often, not at all. It is not that I am "sombong" as Azhan commented but I have been so busy for the past few months that I hardly had the time to even go online let alone blog. Now that I've just finished my sixth semester in college and am currently on holiday, here I am - free - to blog again......for now....
I've got a big load of college work out of the way and I mean a REALLY BIG LOAD settled. However, there is this FINAL BIG LOAD double in size awaiting me in my final semester come the end of this March known as the Final Year Project in which I shall not talk much about as it's nothing more than Engineering stuff which I percieve will bore the life out of the majority of readers of this blog.
In other news, my sister is going to enter an essay writing competition. I don't know why but i have a feeling that she's gonna win. I don't know why.Maybe it's because she won a handphone in a contest she entered a few years back which I initially thought impossible when she was applying. Maybe also because she has the calibre to write good stuff being excellent in English for a girl her age. I came back from work today seeing her in front of the computer with a stack of novels by her side looking for inspiration.HAHA. I know..cuz the first thing she said when she saw me was..
*JOSH! I NEED INSPIRATION*
*GASP HELP ME*
*I GOT WRITER'S BLOCK*
*IM THIRSTY PLEASE GET ME A DRINK*
moving on...
I read this book recently titled "Relativity Simply Explained" and to my surprise, it was a really good book with remarkable stuff in it. Maybe remarkable to me only because I've never really thought much about "Relativity" but if one discovered what it really meant in it's true essence, it would really be mind blowing.
Big is a size undefined and can only be measured if compared to another thing.If there was no other thing, there can be no definite way one can say that something is Big
If a person falls asleep one night and everything in this world enlarges 10 times and I mean EVERYTHING, when that person wakes up, would he have noticed the difference that things have enlarged? or would everything seem same in size to him as before?
Everything, has to be compared to something.
That my friend , is relativity.
Aite I shall end the physics lesson here. I myself am falling asleep.
Signing out.
Ahh its good to be able to finally say that after so long of not blogging.
