Awake

if only I could sing to you,

with a grateful heart everyday.

I'll lift my voice to worship you,

and here I come, in my own way.

and I know that

only you can touch my heart,

I wish to be this way forever

so keep me awake to be in your presence,

so I can see you face to face

I can't live a day without you

and I want you close to me today.

You're beautiful beyond description,

the world outside, begins to fade

you're my only inspiration

I want you here to lead the way

A small cry

What is actually working smart? a lot of time, when i actually think of smart and effective ways to get to the end...i ended up circling a big round and get moderate result....not everyone can have the skill of working smart. Its like you go almost a diameter of the mountain,but you are only half way up...while other people just hike straight up through the radius. Worse, sometimes staring at the limited result that you gain, looking up at where others landed;looking back at long path u've gone through......somehow all these hurt...to some extent...

I have to admit that wasn't my best time

all i felt, was to run into HIM and cry

I try to let it out by the worship of sacrifice,

but before I realise,

I was laughing in HIS presence...I don't know why.

HE gave me peace....may HE guide me in the rest of my works and more important, my life.

Something to share

I heard this phrase before, and it came back to me again today,it goes like this :'' no one ever knock at death's door thinking "I wish I've spend more time working"." It slap me quite hard on the face... for those who knows me, i used to spend 12hours studying for exam during my secondary years, and I could spend more than that working on my assignments at home,pure melancholic workaholic. Is it something to be proud of? or rather its quite a shame.
Anyway,despite the answers, I know its an imbalance lifestyle, and I'm trying hard to make an adjustment in it. I found myself less tension / worry towards certain things than i was before. I've been involving in more other activities,spending more time with people.Which is not a bad sign,and I know there's more that's need to be done.
Another thing that came to me today, some day in heaven , I'll be asked :"so what did you do on earth?". We're given the opportunity to "do" the ''answers'' for the questions.
PS:while I was worshipping today, I got this picture. I am in a car with JESUS, he's bringing me somewhere. When we reached, there's this hut/, and there's a BIG , HUGE house or mansion...unbelievably big n nice.....Then JESUS said:"get back into the car, that's just the guard house." conclusion: Heaven is WAY beyond our imagination. Don't ask me why, i didn't make this story up.

Rose

2nd wine on board! as u can see, its almost like rose color, that's why its call "rose" (ro-se). The founder-Robert Mondavi founded Woodbridge Winery in 1979 to make fine wine for everyday enjoyment.Rose captures the bright strawberry and crisp, ripe apple flavours with light, natural sweetness. It contain 12% alcohol. Its a product of USA,California.Its under Premium wine. Compare to Buena Vista, this is a much more expensive wine....

For me, i think it taste a bit sweet & sourish, alcohol taste is not that strong, and its very smooth....its a pleasant drink...cheers people :)

Buena Vista

"For beginners in wine-field-knowledge,take note of the wine you've drank or tasted, and write down your opinion. Open the wine bottle and let it breathe for a while,then drink and take note after 15mins and 30 mins the wine is opened, some might taste different....."

I always thought that its quite cool to have knowledge about liqueur ,its such a wide field of knowledge.Okay, well...after listening to that simple advice that i heard from the wine-warehouse-sale,i'll give it a try then...my first wine after hearing that is "Buena Vista-Merlot". The 1st day, i found it quite strong and yet, not that tasty, doesn't smells very nice(but strong too),and its not very smooth. 2nd day was much smoother than the first day, tasted lighter (i wonder if its the "chill" that make the different...now, its d third day i'm drinking it, much smoother as well(for me,easier to drink and swallow....Its not a very expensive wine, its about $16 to $20,which is about RM30++ to RM 60++.

This wine contains 12.5% alcohol,was founded in 1857 by Count Agoston Haraszhty, Buena Vista is widely considered to be the birthplace of California wine. With his vision and persistence for ultimate quality,Haraszthy, known today as the father of California viticulture, firmly established the destiny of the California wine industry.

That's a short & simple intro about the wine, now i shall enjoy it slowly....cheers :)

Not Without My Sister

One of my favourite hobby is reading,as it is the cheapest way to go into a total different world,and fast. Just have to open a book and u're there. I went into this shop call "Pay-Less-Book" one day,what drew my attention that day was not the books but the quotes on the walls...such as:"Reading gives someplace to go when we have to stay where we are","Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body","A room without books is a body without soul"....

Lately i JUST finish reading this book "Not without my sister".It is a true story of three sisters born and suffered the practices of a cult who called themselves "Children of God",which is now known as "The Family International".

These 3 sisters relive their experiences how they survived-and then escaped- a cult that has claimed the lives and innocence of thousand of its members.They were a world away from the real understanding of 'love' and 'forgiveness'.The organisation that was entrusted with their care practised physical and mental torture,thought control, pornography(its like their education text book,or daily bible!), prostitution and horrific acts of sexual abuse.

From as early as 3 years ole, the 3 sisters were treated by their 'guardians' as sexual beings. They received love letters and sexual advances from men old enough to be their grandfathers,and were to formal schooling, forced to wander the streets begging for money, and were mercilessly beaten for "crimes"(like day dreaming, reading encyclopedia...etc)

Its a horrific story of perversion and loss but, ultimately, an account of immense love and immeasurable bravery.....

Treasure Hunt

This is the 3rd time i went treasure hunting. First miracle in treasure hunting broke through tonight! this group: Shaun, Andrew, Tina, & Phik Li prayed for an Indian guy who suffer quite a few of sicknesses : shoulder pain, back pain, some skin disease with black rashes, heart prob....etc, and he got healed! His shoulder felt much better, back pain was gone and they actually saw the black rashes on his hand fading away! That's so awesome, i must see that with my own eyes someday. And so he accepted Christ on the spot, and said that he will for SURE visit our church and testify what Lord had done for him. Andrew took a short video of how the guy was amazed after he's been prayed.Other groups prayed for some people who they found through their treasure map...

This is like we've just pressed the "start" button, greater treasures are more to come...we're asking God and believing to see more miracles like blind eyes open, deaf ears unlock,cripple legs grows....i believe they're on their way....

Beginning of 2009...
