Humility (Part 1)

Without humility, you can't see God/ hear God/ feel God. 

When your pride is getting the best of you, you are on your way to deceiving yourself. 

You wondered why you feel weak and not progressive.

You wondered what went wrong.

You wondered what makes you so oblivious and "duh".

Pride is the answer.

Whether its subtly hidden or loudly expressed, it is pride.

Pride is attitude of thinking we can do without Christ.

Humility is so important in our lives, especially to those who were made alive in Christ. Those who are in ministry, humble yourselves before the Lord. Do not boast, do not be proud, give the glory to God. 

Do not wait until the Lord Himself humble you down. Check your heart and pray to God with fear of the Lord. For the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

Jesus is humble. He's our greatest example. Let's learn from Him. ^^

Deb’s friends from KL, Lyd and Wai Yan, is in Sabah for holiday so Deb brought them to places around KK today. I tagged along since they plan for a tour in UMS. So, being a UMS student (I am still legally a student yah.tengkiu). I proudly showed them the beach  a.k.a. ODEC next to the marine research institute. I must admit, though, that it is my first time being there as well. Let me repeat that. My FIRST time being in ODEC. Yes, I know I know…

We went to the crocodile farm in Tuaran after that. Its my second time there (3^rd time in a crocodile farm, to be precise). The coolest moment is Wai Yan feeding the chicken meat to the crocs. We were excited to see them fight or even move a bit (crocodiles are very lazy reptiles in terms movement). No wonder they’ve gotten fat, dirty, stinks and scary. But no, no crocs fight for today, they were just anxious waiting for food. Seeing the crocs move somehow thrilled us. An applaud goes to Lyd for not hiding behind Deb’s back. I understand how you felt as I did with you-know-what. ;)

We headed to Lokan bakar and oh boy, it was very ‘zelicious’. Filled with Lokan and kelapa pudding, we watched the sun set peacefully. I THANK GOD I get to see the sunset. I mean, really! I love to watch sunset and to be blown away by its beauty.

“A sunset on this side is another sunrise 

on the other side of the globe.”

This was one of the thought that popped up in my mind as I watch it sinks in. I tell you, I am always amazed at the art of how fast the sun set, how beautiful it can be, how the colors of the clouds reflected from the sunlight blends in together and create such a beautiful, serene scenery (ok, I’m getting poetic here. Gah.)

-peace out- 

Movie night with the kids

Tonight is one of those nights where I get the chance to bring my nieces and nephews to the cinema. 


Oh boy, they were really excited. And I mean reeeaaalllyyy exxxciiiiteeed... I went to Kolops to pick them up around 7PM (The movie starts at 7.20PM but i already bought all tickets hours earlier) and the moment they saw my car light, they were jumping in the air, shouting with joy. It was dark but i can see clearly their jumps and shouts. Haha. Cute. The moment they got into the car, they were all talking about what to expect and what to do in the cinema. On the way to our destination, Phoebe and I explained to them about rules, the dos and don'ts in cinema. They were excited to obey too! They were telling each other to listen to us and behave well. The laughing and talking doesn't stop until we entered the cinema hall. The excitement of the children is really something you know. I mean, I don't show such excitement going to cinema but boyyy, they are really looking forward to it! :)


We watched "Brave" and its really a nice movie. I would rate it 4.5/5. Its one of the movies I would suggest for children and families and everyone to watch it. The kids enjoyed it. :) I'm glad we watched it together.


No wonder God says how important it is to be like children (not childish!) in order to enter His kingdom. 

Jesus loves the little children...

Children sees things differently and they are very passionate. Things that are normal to us, are extraordinary to them! They are dependent, while we, sometimes can be self-dependent! And most important of all, children do not doubt. Once they trust someone, they would trust them to the fullest!


Be blessed!

During my first year in campus, I remember waiting for Sue, Kenny and Oyoe to finish class on every Friday and heads off to Glory Place to fellowship together. If one of us is still having class, the rest of us would go to the Piano room while waiting. We would sing and chit chat and laugh and sing some more…

I remember the times in Glory Place where the four of us just pray and worship together, sharing the Word and simply fellowship without any agenda prepared, just hearts seeking God more and more. We would advise one another, pray for one another, intercede, build and even correct one another. It doesn't matter what is our church background because we serve the same God. And trust me, God definitely wouldn't ask about it during judgement. 

After all the busyness in Uni life, minus everything, thinking back of those moments (and others not mentioned here) I am very blessed to have such friends in Christ. J As time goes by, I know we would head for different paths but I know one thing: friendship in Christ would last forever. 

Yet, my bestfriend ever would still be Jesus. He’s the best. Ever. Ever heard of Him? He’s there every second of my life. He can hear my deepest thought although I tried to hide it from everyone. My every doubts and uncertainties are calmed by His reassuring Word of truth. My ugliest secret? He knew it. But He never avoid me, but came to my rescue when I call on His name. My weakness? …is my strength because I can do all things through Christ who strengthens when I am weak. How amazing it is to have such friend! ^^

My point of blogging this post?

Well, the bottom line is that - precious friends may come and go or stay and go. But we should not take lightly of our eternal friend and King and Saviour because He come and stay with us forever. :)

Be blessed!

Awesome God!

After all the things happened, after every activity, every joy, every problem, every pain, every memory...
After all these ups and downs, it all comes back to the basic question - Do I live as how He would want me to?

Life, had been very much crazy these past few months. Busyness is a word I used to like but not anymore. It took away some part of me that I didn't realize had been gone. I remember when there are times, through all the busyness, I just couldn't stand it and broke off calling out for Him. I don't know how i could express it here but that's just what i felt. Life makes no sense without Him. I guess this is a season in my life that I am learning to draw closer and learn to live His way. This is the 4th year since I first accepted Christ genuinely and seriously. It felt like yesterday when it all happened. :)

Remember how we think of our first love and how the early moments of our relationship goes? All the unforgettable moments we shared together? Exactly. Thinking back those first moments with Him just makes me smile. Maybe it sounds crazy. Well, instead of thinking whether its crazy or not, I think time is just enough for us all to live life the right way, aren't we?

Friends may come and go... Family is a GREAT blessing but it is only temporary... Career may be obtained and ends... Money can be acquired and spent until the last coin... But there is just ''one'' that is eternal. And when I say eternal, it reeeaaalllyyy means ETERNAL. No no no, this is not the fairytale-definition-kinda-way of ''eternal''. It is indeed eternal in a sense that it will last forever, even after I(we) die. God's promise in John 3:16... that is our hope for eternity, that we will live and reign with Him foreverrrrr!! (Wow, just thinking of it makes me glimpse eternity... How cool is that huh?)

Indeed, we have an awesome God!
I love U, Jesus. ^^

Wake up emo boys!

Boys! If u like a girl but if she tells u ~ be friends ~ STOP HARASSING HER! control yr emotions! Dun use the stupid emotional blackmail tactic.

Coz in reality, u dun really love her - u actually only love your SELF! U only wan her for your own selfish self! 

Coz if u truly love her, u wan the best for her. And that means, u shd want her to focus on her studies and not on u! 

if she loves someone else, then u shd be happy for her - coz if u love her, u wan her to be happy with the person that she is happy with.

if u are angry, then it means that u r NOT wanting the best for her! But u wan the feeling for yourself - and that’s not agape love! U r not in love with her – U r in love with your own happiness!

That’s why yr parents, your church leaders, and yr more mature friends tell u – BACK OFF! – This is not the time to pursue romantic love coz u are not ready to handle it! Its too powerful for u and it will affect yr studies and other people’s studies and future.

If u dun care – then it just shows how immature you are – and how much u love yr own feelings and not the girl. U DUN DESERVE TO FALL IN LOVE.

Totally agree with this one!! agree? :) Angry? Deal with it coz that's a sign that what this post says is true for youuu... Being angry/offensed won't help much. Be set free from it!

So here's what's going on.

Hola! Greetings from my laptop. haha. Anyhow, here's my toy story (nope, i mean my story). Ok, scratch that, its the coffee effect.

Last saturday Salley, Putri, Mere and I went for a trip to KL. It was my 1st time traveling far with friends and without my parents. We all had fun and i would surely remember it as one of my best trips ever. :D

Merelyn-Putri-Nethy

Apart from shopping, window shopping, etc... I also had a chance to meet up and dine with friends during Tcamp and also met Debbie! Gah, i miss her a lottt.. Too bad her sem break almost ended when I came there. So we didn't have much time to have "that" talk. Not gossiping, of course (if that's what u're thinking!). It was almost 3 hours past midnight when Lyd and Deb picked me up at KL sentral and i really appreciate it! *Thanks* ^^ I went to church together with Deb during Easter and met her friends as well. What can I say, they are all warm and welcoming... :) Lyd, Hannah, Phil, Jun, Adrian... its nice meeting u guys! It was also there and then that I first knew that Briyani rice was an Indian cuisine. (i know..i know.. but at least now i know.. hah.)

Cuzzies.

Me, Deb & Jun

Us and Rex

After staying with Debbie, I joined my friends the next day. We went 'kai2' ['jalan2' in colloquial Chinese language] around Bukit Bintang and also walked to KLCC. We had fun at Aquaria and even had ourselves a non-permanent tattoo on our back (it only stays there for like, 3 days). A lot and a lot of taking pictures as well! #SStime On the final night we stayed in Shah Alam and I got a chance of having a tour around (yes, I mean 'around'...) Shah Alam. Thanks to Abigail and Ps. Perry for the hospitality! I will definitely NOT forgot the U-turn that cost RM10 (WHAT???). Sabah doesn't have such a thing. Hehehe... But anyway, S.A. is far more spacious and serene (a lil' bit la..) compared to KL. :) We went to Sunway on the last day and bought few more things and heads off to the airport. #bye2KL

*Fast forward*

Today (after the trip) is one of the days where I could get up late and relax while spend time at home. It feels good you know... especially when there are many things happening around you and you finally got a time to just rest and have most time at home (in a day!). Around evening, I went to campus (lab, to be specific) and ferment some microbes for tomorrow's lab work. I picked up mom from her workplace and we went for Bakuteh in Kepayan. I normally do not like to go restaurant that I'm not familiar with (especially when u're hungry) but we decided to try it out. It tastes OK la.. We had our mom and daughter talk (and yes, that includes relationship, thank u...). She was so funny when we talk about the future. I doubt if I would marry if i were to follow her standards (OK, hahaha.). Yet it does feels good when you talk such a matter especially with ur mom. :) #MomKnowsBest

Proudest moment of today: Paying the bill for our Bakuteh. ^^

Well, that's about it. Although its a bit lame but I'm still gonna say it... Peace out~
